The Zohar Code: The Temple Calendar of King Solomon

The Zohar Code is a scholarly paper for public release. Foreword by David Conway. The authors demonstrate that the Tree of Life was derived from an ancient sacerdotal calendar once used by the Temple of Solomon. This lost temple calendar resembles the Seven Palaces of the Merkabah Mystics and it was discovered in an encrypted format within the Zohar. Its discovery marks a new chapter for all major Abrahamic religions. ABSTRACT Hidden within the open text of the Zohar is a code that cleverly conceals an ancient intercalated 364 day Temple calendar likely to have been used at the Temple of Solomon. The Temple Calendar is packaged in the form of a mechanistic diagram and is unquestionably the direct source of the diagram known as 'The Tree of Life'. This diagram matches the descriptions of the Merkabah Mystics of the Seven Palaces of El. Each 'Palace' and 'path' is assigned a letter of the Hebrew aleph-bet and the Holy Name attributed to the combination of palaces identifies the Calendar as a pre-monotheistic artifact. The Calendar delineates the daily and nightly 'Zmanim' (times of daily and nightly worship) and has a high degree of correspondence with the numerical tallies of the biblical book 1 Kings (6 8). We suggest there is a direct correspondence between the features of the Temple Calendar and the architectural design of the Temple of Solomon.
