In this study, I discuss: 1.briefly the writings of Jesus and the Apostles preserved in the extra books. 2.I discuss in a little more detail the date and authenticity of the component parts that make up the Moses apocrypha preserved in a midrash of the rabbis. 3.I show in great detail when the beginning of the year is to be according to the Enoch Calendar, and I explain in great detail how the Enoch Calendar system works, and what the Scriptures teach about how to properly keep it. I explain how Enoch teaches 360+4 days, not 360+5. I elucidate the calendar synchronization of the solar and lunar years that Enoch alludes to in Enoch chapter 74 which Enoch says occurs every 3 years, every 5 years, and every 8 years. I highlight the sevenfold divisibility that the Scriptures require for the Calendar. I show the compelling evidence from the Scriptures that the beginning of the year is to always be on the fourth day of the week. I appeal to king David's songs for the Sabbath sacrifice as proof as to what days the Calendar is to begin on. I read through part of Enoch Chapter 74 and I highlight a passage which has been altered in almost all translations due to RH Charles corrupting the Ethiopic text to make it say something that is not true and which throws off people from the truth that the moon is to be used every five years. I explain how the moon is to be used for that system of synchronization, and how it requires the solar year to add seven days to synchronize with the moon. I appeal to 2 Enoch as evidence for this command to use the seven day intercalation every five years. I appeal to Genesis and Revelation as evidence for the solar calendar. I explain how the year is truly 364 days almost every year and not 365 "days" like the scientists falsely say. I explain how Enoch's system is the default/center, and which corresponds to other localities via ratios. I also explain when Sunrise and Sunset really is according to the Scriptures and how this changes the proper calculation of the beginning and end of the year. I explain when and how to add the extra week. 4.I explain when the Day of Atonement is to be kept and how it is to be kept; i explain why fasting is required on the Day of Atonement. I also briefly show from Enoch and Jubilees why most other groups are in error regarding the correct calendar and that the year did not change but has always been the same measurements and will be the same until the new creation. 5.I discuss how sacrifices are not to be done by those who are not priests and that sacrifices which are not required are not to be offered on sabbath days. 6.I discuss the Essene perspective on animal sacrifices and meat eating, and i give evidence that the Essenes were not anti sacrifices or anti meat as is commonly alleged, and I show evidence why the socalled Gospel of Peace and the socalled Gospel of the Holy Twelve are not Essene writings and are therefore not authentic and should not be taken into consideration for what the truth is. I explain why the Essenes did not do animal sacrifices in the Temple in the first century AD. I explain why James was a vegetarian. 7.I repudiate the scholar named Eisenman, and i give my reasons why. I discuss why I believe that Jesus, not James, was the Teacher of Righteousness, and I explain why scholars come to false conclusions on the identification of the Teacher of Righteousness. 8.I explain the coming of the Teacher of Righteousness and the purpose of his coming in relation to the accuracy of the religion of the Essenes in their beliefs and laws. 9.I discuss the Old Covenant and New Covenant and how the Melchizedek priesthood has new laws which command new priests to be made outside of the levitical order and how this means that people can be priests today, but I warn that priests can only become such through the process that the Scriptures command. 10.I explain in great detail the contents of the 8 extra books of Law that are in the Ethiopian New Testament, and how they correspond strikingly in theme and arrangement and style to the writings and Law of Moses. I highlight the main differences between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant, those being the things connected to a works based torah observant keeping of the Melchizedek priesthood. 11.I explain the corruption of the Old Law by the Rabbis and the new Law by the Romans. I explain how much of the laws in the Catholic Church are actually based on true laws that were newly added by the Messiah but which got corrupted over time. 12.I explain the history of the Church throughout the last 2000 years, and I highlight the origination of the Oriental Orthodox Churches and how the Ethiopians were able to preserve so much of the true when they are one of the most obscure people groups in the entire world. I show how the Ethiopian Orthodox preserved the more purer teachings and how they preserved more of the Scriptures than any other group.
