The Zadokite Priesthood had to flee the Temple due to the invasion by Antiochus IV Epiphanies. They took with them the sacred scrolls and literature. They took with them the knowledge of YAHUAH’s Calendar. The Zadokite Priesthood lived out in the wilderness. Later Onias IV (a Zadokite High Priest) had gone with, a number of those who remained loyal to his father’s memory to Egypt, where he obtained permission from the Egyptian king to rebuild a disused Temple at *Leontopolis (On) and to appoint “Priests of his own race” to serve in it. This Zadokite Priesthood presided over the Temple at Leontopolis until it was closed by Vespasian in 73 C.E.

Isaiah 19: 18-21, is a prophecy relating to Onias lV serving YAHUAH in Egypt, called the “City of Destruction” in our Scriptures, but in the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Septuagint it is called the “City of the Sun” (that is Heliopolis). The reputation which the Temple of Onias enjoyed is indicated by the fact that the Septuagint, written in the Jewish community of Alexandria, changes the phrase “City of Destruction” to “City of Righteousness.” Also a village on Mount Zion was inhabited by the Zadokites and YAHUSHA had His Last Passover in a Zadokite home on Mt Zion.

Since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947, we now have a better understanding of the history from 180BC to maybe 130AD. Because of the Dead Sea Scrolls we know that YAHUAH’s Priests, the Zadokites kept a Solar Calendar. The Zealots who were living on the top of Masada for 5 years throughout the time of the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple, 70 AD, also kept the same Solar calendar, as they had identical Scrolls, that where found in the Qumran caves.
