The Measures of Time Our

Continued 👇🏾 The Measures of Time Our fathers handed down a sacred science of time, divided into seven measures and seven awdat (cycles). The measures: Sadsit, Hamsit, Rabi’it, Salsit, Kal’it, kekrose, and Elet. there are 7 awadat: Awde Elet (days), Awde Werih (months), Awde Amet (years), Awde Tsehay (28 years), Awde Abeqte (19 years), Awde Mahtem (76 years), Awde Qemer (532 years). The word Awadat comes from the Gë`ëz “Ode,” meaning “to turn,” for these cycles return again and again, bearing witness to divine order. Awde Elet: governs the days of the week, Sunday through Saturday. Awde Werih: governs the months: thirty days by the sun, twenty-nine or thirty by the moon. Awde Amet measures years: 365 days to 15 kekros by the sun, 354 days to 22 kekrose by the moon. Awde Tsehay (28 years) brings the Evangelist and the calendar into harmony. Awde Abeqte (19 years) unites the sun and moon. Awde Mahtem (76 years) reconciles the cycles of prophet and evangelist. Awde kemer: the great cycle of 532 years, after which the order of times repeats. Since the year of Adam, this cycle has turned fourteen times. 5500 + 2017 / 532 =14 The Measure of Years and Months A year, according to the sun, is composed of 365 days, with the addition of 15 degrees of latitude. Yet a year, when reckoned by the moon, contains 354 days, and its course covers 22 degrees of latitude. The month also has its division: By the sun, a month is fixed at 30 days. By the moon, it is counted as either 29 or 30 days, for the moon wanes and waxes according to its appointed course. The Measure of Days and Hours A day in its fullness is 24 hours. Yet Scripture and tradition speak of the day as 12 hours,. An hour is measured as 60 minutes. A minute is divided into 60 seconds. And a second is reckoned as the smallest part, the indivisible breath of time( kitsbet ). Latitude is the length of a day (1/60) or (1/24) hour. A day is 24 hours or 60 degrees of latitude. The Time from Creation Until Now From the creation of the world until this present age, 7,517 years have passed according to the solar reckoning. And when the ages are numbered, they are divided into the time of Matthew, the time of Mark, the time of Luke, and the time of John. Herein lies a divine mystery: when we pass from Luke to John, there are always six days of patina . How is this so? Consider: the three years of John, Matthew, and Mark each contain 365 days and 6 hours. The extra six hours of each year, gathered over three years, amount to 18 hours. When we add the six hours of Luke, the sum becomes 24 hours one complete day. Thus, in the span of four years, six days are gained. This, beloved, is what the nations call the “leap year,” in G.C calender when the month of February receives 29 days. But in our tradition, it is known as the time of John Continues 👇🏾
