Enoch was a holy man, a prophet and seer, who lived before the flood of Noah and attained heaven with a whole city of believers. Enoch is somewhat mysterious in that not much is known of him besides that he apparently preached the Gospel of the Son of God—being quoted by Jesus himself quite a few times—that God showed him a vision of all things after taking him up into heaven, and that he transcended mortality to never taste of death. He eventually became known by many names: to the Jews he was חנוך (Ḥănōḵ, “Enoch”) but after his ascension into heaven he was called מטטרון (Meṭāṭrōn, “Metatron”); to the Greeks, Ἑρμῆς ὁ Τρισμέγιστος (Hermes Trismagistus, “Hermes Thrice Great”); to the Egyptians, ḏḥwtj (“Thoth”); to the Hindus, हनुका (Hanuka); to the Muslims, إدريس (Idris); to the Arabs, سريد بن سلحوق (Sūrīd Ibn Salhouk, “Surid”).
Of the last of these names listed, Surid, it is said by Arab tradition that he was the builder of the great pyramids of Egypt prior to the flood of Noah. That Enoch therefore should perhaps have been the great architect of the first and greatest pyramids of Egypt, which have withstood the test of time to this day, is to add only another achievement unfathomable to common man to Enoch’s already mysterious and impressive résumé. The Egyptians who inherited the land after the flood revered Enoch for his accomplishments—assigning to him the deific identity of Thoth, the scribe of the gods—seeking to mimic his greatness but only ever approaching a shadow of it. As it is noted in the writings of Abraham:
“Pharaoh…[sought] earnestly to imitate that order established by the fathers in the first generations, in the days of the first patriarchal reign, even in the reign of Adam, and also of Noah” (Abraham 1:25 – 26).
Among Enoch’s many mighty visions and divine instructions was an unfolding of the organization of the world and the heavens. This teaching was accomplished, according to the text of the Ethiopic version of 1 Enoch, by the angel Uriel, who explained certain principles governing the measurement of time and the movements of the heavens relative to the earth. An example of this reads as follows:
“Uriel, the holy angel who was with me, explained to me; he who conducted them. The whole account of them, according to every year of the world for ever, until a new work shall be effected, which will be eternal….
“Their stations I wrote down as he showed them to me…. The moon brings on all the years exactly, that their stations may come neither too forwards nor too backwards a single day; but that the years may be changed with correct precision in 364 days. In three years the days are 1,092;… to the moon alone belong in three years 1,062 days…so that the moon has thirty days less than the sun and stars…. The year then becomes truly complete according to the station of the moons and the station of the sun…” (1 Enoch 71:1; 73:2, 13-14, 12, 16 [Richard Laurence translation, 1883]).
The text of this apocryphal tome is quite perplexing at times, but certain rules pertaining to the measurement of time have been identified by the late professor of astronomy, Dr. John P. Pratt. To learn more about this calendar, go to Six Sacred Calendars > 1. The Restored Enoch Calendar.
What Did Enoch’s Calendar Look Like?
Directions on how to construct Enoch’s calendar are not given in the text; only principles related to the correct measuring of time. The discovery by Dr. Pratt of those principles in their correct arrangement, along with additional research done by the author, have allowed for an attempt at constructing a facsimile of what Enoch’s calendar may have included.
Enoch was a prophet, and he foresaw the end from the beginning in his vision of the history of the world in addition to how time is measured by God:
“And it came to pass that the Lord showed unto Enoch all the inhabitants of the earth…. And Enoch was high and lifted up, even in the bosom of the Father, and of the Son of Man….” (Moses 7:21, 24).
Therefore a true calendar by this revered holy man would expect to predict certain key events in history, particularly as regards the life and mission of key Biblical figures, especially God the Son, Jesus Christ.
And that is precisely what has been discovered.
So what is the Restored Enoch Calendar?
It is the culmination of years of research compiled into a single, usable calendar modeled after the principles explained to Enoch by Uriel. In addition, five other sacred calendars venerated by time have been brought together to join their witness of sacred time in one place. (Click here to learn more about these Six Sacred Calendars.)
All of these methods of measuring time, each one inspired by the Creator, come together to overthrow the Gregorian calendar as the time keeping system man ought to be using, a calendar whose divine design was spelled out in the stars long ago.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I do with this calendar?
You can use it like a normal calendar, first and foremost, while orienting yourself to the timeframe God designed for measuring the passage of a year. Do you want to plan a special fast or begin a sacred journey and need to find a good date to begin? This calendar may provide insights into particularly fortuitous days for such things as well.
I want to use this but I need to know what the date is everyone else is using. What should I do?
This calendar includes the Gregorian calendar months and days as well as the other six sacred calendars, therefore you can know at a glance what everyone else refers to any given date as. This reference also makes it convenient to use the calendar like you would any normal calendar—marking important dates, birthdays, appointments, etc.
Will it predict my death?
No. Predicting anything with the calendar would require the spirit of prophecy, which does not automatically come with the calendar. In most cases, the purpose of sacred dates in one’s life becomes apparent only in retrospect.
Is this calendar made only for Mormons?
No. No knowledge of Mormon belief or scripture is necessary to use this calendar at all. The six sacred calendars are ancient and independent of any modern religious movements. That said, a belief in Joseph Smith and his teachings on the nature of the stars may especially enhance the experience of using the calendar.
