Introduction

1. On previous studies, the Enochian APOCALYPSE OF WEEKS has been included in our developing understanding of the works of God. This is a radical step to take, but has been accepted because we have come to recognise that The Book of Enoch in its original Hebrew language is inspired. [See By Grace No.11]. This Apocalypse forms a clear and precise base for the determination of the timing of all Scripture Events [See By Grace No.10]. Those students of The Word of God who have sought to understand the dates and timings of such events have in the past been guided by such diligent scholars as Bishop Ussher and Dr. Bullinger, but they did not have the advantage of the precise and authoritative work of the translation of The Book of Enoch by R.H Charles.

2. Another fact which has influenced our conclusions is the existence of a long period of time between God's statement: 'In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth' and the following statement: 'And the Earth became without form and void'. There is much evidence in the Christian Scriptures [See By Grace No.12] to support this understanding.

3. Recognition of the transitory seven year period between the time when The Jews were condemned to Spiritual blindness and deafness in 62ad, and the momentous year 69/70ad when Jerusalem and the Temple were destroyed by the armies of the Roman Empire. At the end of this period God revealed to the apostle the introduction of the Administration of God's Grace, under which we are still privileged to dwell in the present day.

Without the perception of the importance of these three parameters that we believe God has expressed, much of the understanding outlined in the following article cannot, neither will it, be accepted.

The Plan
In the introduction to the translation of Enoch's Apocalypse of Weeks, Mr. R.H Charles, the translator and interpreter, points out that there are various amounts of time which can give meaning to the word 'week'. The consensus of opinion is that this term does not always refer to the same period of time. The majority of critics do not recognise this present unique Administration of God's Grace revealed only by the Apostle Paul in 69da, seven years after the record of The Acts of the Apostles was complete. If the years of this secret Administration are taken into account the scale of events revealed by Enoch fall almost exactly into the corresponding dating of Bishop Ussher. There is a difference of only 128 years between the two, for the year of Adam's sin. This is factual, providing that each Enochian week is taken as 700 years in length. When considering the ten '700 year' weeks of this Apocalypse in the light of Bishop Ussher's dating, there are a number of 'coincidences' highlighting the figure 147:


147 is 3 sets of 49 years, the life of Jacob... 147
1470 years in 30 sets of 49 years, the 30th being the time that Christ announced His Commission in the Synagogue in Nazareth. This outlined His work in establishing The Kingdom of God in Israel. These particular sets of 49 years are Jubilees, or using the Hebrew term 'Yobels'. See below.
14700 years is 300 sets of 49 years between the year of 'In the beginning' and the year that 'The day of God' is opened.

A 49 year period is used by God to determine the time between important events. It is also the number of years between Israel's established Jubilees or Yobels, when details in Leviticus Chapters 25 and 27 were to be enacted. The recognition of those events determined by this unit of time indicates the Hand of God in the affairs of men.

Some examples of times based upon the Number 49 year sets:
3 sets of 49 are the years of Jacob's life.
10 sets of 49 is the number of years occupied by the 70 'weeks' upon The House of Judah and upon Jerusalem stated in the prophesy of Daniel.
40 sets of 49 is the number of years of this present Administration of God's Grace.

Enoch's revelation...The Apocalypse of Weeks

A revelation was given to Enoch, the seventh from Adam, which spans the time from Adams sin [causing sin and death to be born by all mankind] to the Day of God. It does not include God's creative and forming activity in the previous week. Nor does it include this present day Administration of God's Grace which was 'hidden in God' until revealed to the Apostle Paul in 62ad. [Ephesians 3:2 and 3:9]

When God had competed his work in that first week of creation, he said that He saw that it was Good. The sin of Adam and its consequences were not included, but occurred on the next day after God had rested on the previous day.

This Present Administration of God's Grace has therefore been added to Enoch's 10 weeks at the point when Enoch states:

'And after the sixth week all who live in it shall be blinded, And the hearts of all of them shall godlessly forsake wisdom. And in it a man shall ascend; And at its close the house of dominion shall be burnt with fire, And the whole race and the chosen root shall be dispersed.'

This is the year 69ad when Jerusalem and the Temple where destroyed.


Through the sin of Adam, death entered upon all that God had created. This occurred sometime after the end of God's first seven days of Creation. Since God had referred to 'a week' for his creative acts upon the void and chaotic earth, it seems reasonable to assume that the length of time for these activities of God would conform to those of the Enochian weeks, i.e. 700 years, the details of both being recorded about the same time.

The difficultly of incorporating this period as seven 'days' of 100 years per day lay in the reference to each 'day' being defined as 'morning and evening'. If we were to accept the conventional understanding of 'morning and evening' then the first week of the creation activity of God would occupy only 7x 24 hours = 168 hours. This remained a serious problem until we recognised and agreed with the points raised in an article by Andrew Kulikovski [See By Grace No. 13]

This published by the respected CREATION MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL and describes alternative meanings of 'morning and evening' based upon the context of its use in Scripture. He points out that the first three days of God's creative activity were worked without 'two great lights, the great light to rule the day, and the small light to rule the night', thus showing that these days were measured without the presence of the Sun. There is more meaning in these first passages of The Book of Genesis than a conventional understanding would allow. Andrew Kulikovski's argument is worth your serious consideration. Thus we are free to consider what other timing God may have given to the Hebrew for the word 'day'.

From previous studies, it has been shown that by 2022ad, the present Administration of God's Grace will have completed the remarkable period of 1960 years [49 x 5 x 8... 7x7 being the basic timing number used by God to determine events, 5... God's number for the action of His Grace, and 8... God's number for the fullness of His Works. Together.. 5x8 is 40, Go's number for a period of probation and trial.]

What period therefore would have to be added to 1960 years to enable the pattern of 700 years per Enochian Week to remain viable?

As we know, God rested on the 7th day, the last 100 years of the 'week', following the six 100 year days of creativity. There is a residue of 140 years needed to complete the multiples of 700 year weeks following the pattern recorded by Enoch.



The complete time therfore from when 'the earth became without form and void' to The Day of God would be [14 x 700]...9800 years

Having now taken all these lengths of time into account, it left only the length of time between 'In the beginning' and 'The Earth became without form and void'.

The Period of 9800 years is 200 x 49 year periods. It therefore seemed reasonable to conclude that 200 [2 indicating incompleteness] being incomplete, 300 [3 indicating completeness] would be the acceptable figure to satisfy a work of God. If so then the total time from 'In the beginning' to 'The Day of God' would be 300 x 49 year periods. I.e. 14700 years.
The realisation that the figure 147 had appeared in relation to these periods confirmed the correct understanding.

100 49 year periods is the number of years between 'in the beginning' and 'the earth became void and chaotic'
200 49 year periods is the number of years between 'the earth became void and chaotic' and 'the Day of God', therefore, 300 49 year periods is the number of years between 'In the beginning' and 'The Day of God'.


In the initial article, reference is made to the period which opened our minds to the importance of the figure 147, being 3 x 39 years in length, the days of Jacob's life. Such coincidences cannot be ignored when other lengthy periods of 49 years are revealed as listed above. The final underlying coincidence was the realisation that the timing of the 'Grand Plan', illustrated below, covered a period of 14700 years or 300 49 year periods.
