sermons through history until about the 14th century. Then, though the Catholic
Church usurped the throne of Jesus (Yahusha) censoring scripture and adding
to it, the Ethiopian Church continued Jubilees as canon all the way until today.
These copies were rediscovered by the Western world in Ethiopia but remained
in consistent circulation as scripture which does not require the West nor do they
have an opinion on the matter unless they can prove it not scripture which they
never have or produce their Aaronic Levite credentials from Messiah’s era.
The Abyssinian Church, which has continued Jubilees as canon, names it the
“Book of the Division of Days,” from the first words at the beginning. This also proves
this book was not only in circulation but considered scripture at least by some
at that time. Through history, because of it’s broad importance, The Book of
Jubilees has been attributed by many titles. In fact, if one searched hard enough,
they would find it quoted without a title many times as well. We have already
produced such examples from the New Testament. It has been known as “Little
Genesis” due to it’s scale of detail beyond that of Genesis as it is larger not smaller,
Book of Division, Apocalypse of Moses, Assumption of Moses, Testament of Moses, The Life of
Adam, Book of Adam’s Daughters, etc.
Although not inducted into canon in the Roman Catholic Church, the Book of
Jubilees was cited in the early church according to R.H Charles, Bible Hub and
even Wikipedia as this is widely reported. In order of approximate chronology,
