Purpose of the Manna
Highlighting Lunar Months and Weeks
Entering the Promised Land
Manna Commencement and Termination
So the children of Israel camped in Gilgal and kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight on the plains of Jericho. And they ate of the produce of the land on the day after the Passover, unleavened bread and parched grain, on the very same day [lunar Sabbath the 15th]. Then the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten the produce of the land [16th day, first day of the third lunar week]; and the children of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate the food of the land of Canaan that year. Yahusha (Joshua) 5:10-12 NKJV
The Feast of Passover was kept in the same way it had always been kept under the leadership of Moses. It was consistently placed on the 14th of the First Lunar Month of Abib as counted from the full New Moon. It and all days commenced at sunrise and terminated at sunset for a twelve-hour day (John 11:9), as exhibited on a sundial. This defines the night as the period of darkness that follows the daylight in a 24-hour cycle of a civil calendar date. Thus, the true lunar seventh-day Sabbath began as it had for 40 years, at sunrise on the morning of the 15th. The new week then started the next day at sunrise on the 16th, as counted from the full New Moon.
Forty Years Later – Part 4 establishes the following 16 facts:
- Manna was providentially bestowed each morning for five days, with a double portion on the sixth day of the week to provide for the meals on the sixth day and seventh day Sabbath. None was ever provided on the seventh-day Sabbath.
- The manna was to illustrate full complete weeks, differentiating
between work days and sacred Sabbaths.- YAHUAH Alahim would have defeated His own purposes of illustrating His complete week model if He were to cease giving the manna in the middle of the week.
- The 14th of the First Month of Abib was the sixth day of the second week, and the last day of the week that manna was given with its double portions collected for two days.
- The 15th was the seventh-day Sabbath, and the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, making it a high Feast Sabbath.
- The only way Yasharal (Israel) would have had unleavened bread to eat on the 15th is because they would have received the double portion of manna on the 14th.
- The manna collected on the first five days never lasted until the next sunrise but went bad by the following sunrise. Only the double portion of manna collected on the sixth-day lasted for 48 hours. This illustrated that the new day began at sunrise.
- On that last Sabbath Yasharal’s (Israel’s) diet consisted of unleavened bread made from manna and the parched grain from the fields in the Promised Land.
- On the first day of each week for the entire forty years, Yasharal (Israel) could expect that manna would commence again on the morning following a seventh-day Sabbath rest. However, on this morning of the 16th after entering the Promised Land there was for the first time, no manna.
- It is clearly stated that “the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten the produce of the land.”
- The Yasharalites (Israelites) ate the produce of the land on the 15th, a seventh-day Sabbath, along with their unleavened bread that was prepared on the 14th.
- On the 15th no manna had been provided on the ground because as all seventh-day Sabbaths before it the manna for that day had been collected in a double portion on the sixth-day, the preparation day.
- By Divine design there was only one day when the manna could officially cease. It could not cease on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th day of the week because the manna’s purpose was to illustrate complete weeks. It could not cease on the 6th day because there would be no unleavened bread for the Sabbath Feast Day, the last day of a complete week. It couldn’t cease on the Sabbath, because it was never given on the Sabbath. The only day for the manna to cease was the first day of the week that followed the Sabbath of the 15th which was the same day of the same month it had first been provided forty years earlier.
- Strikingly, the manna ceased on the morning of the 16th when it had ordinarily been expected to commence for the week. This illustrates that the 16th of the lunar month was consistently the first day of the lunar week for the full forty years as ordained by our Creator.
- If the 16th was the first day of the lunar week all these forty years later, then the 15th, as counted from the New Moon, is consistently the authentic and original lunar seventh-day Sabbath, each year, and every month since that time, and indeed since creation.
- For the entire forty years, the first three months of the year were modulated in the exact same manner. And although, the New Moon Day is never overtly mentioned, its position as the first day followed by four weeks with each of their Sabbaths occurring on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th days identifies that the Years, Months, Weeks, and Days of ancient Yasharal were all based upon the lunar phases.
When manna was first given for Yasharal (Israel) following the Exodus, Yahuah utilized it to illustrate His weeks and Sabbaths for the Second Month. This verse in Yahusha (Joshua) 5:10-12 is now using the manna to define the same dates of the First Lunar Month of Abib. Here, Yahuah highlights, using His final manna illustration, that during the First Lunar Month (Abib), the Sabbath is also located on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th, just as it was in the Second Month.
Forty years after the Exodus, Yahusha (Joshua) punctuates that the 14th of the First Month (Abib) remains the Feast of Passover and the 6th day of the week with the continued miracle of the double portion of manna. In this way, He establishes that the 15th of the First Month (Abib) is consistently the Feast of Unleavened Bread and the seventh-day Sabbath for the entire duration of forty years and even into the Promised Land. Scripture records that no manna fell on the 16th of the First Month (Abib) for the first time in forty years. On this first day of the week, it ceased forever, ending on the same day it had marvelously begun forty years previously.
Conclusion
Not just for three months in a row, but the entire forty years were modulated in the exact same manner. For the very reason that each recorded Sabbath occurred on the 15th or the 22nd of each month, it automatically provides the facts that the Sabbath was also located consistently on the 8th and the 29th of those same months. This provides the greatest evidence that the months were lunar and that the first day of each month was always the New Moon Day. And although the New Moon Day is never overtly mentioned, its position as the first day followed by four weeks of seven days, with each of their Sabbaths occurring on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th days, identifies that the Years, Months, Weeks, and Days of ancient Yasharal were all based upon the unique demarcating influence of the lunar phases.
As a result, we can have confidence that this is the same TIME signature that the ETERNAL Yahuah Alahim spoke into existence in “IN THE BEGINNING.” This self-same time-measuring model prophetically appointed with precision the exact time the long PROMISED LAMB was to come to earth as a baby. Our Messiah’s True Prophetic Birthday.
Thirty years later, He gave His life on PASSOVER, the 14th, for the purpose of taking away the sins of the world. For in Him alone, the prophetic criteria of the time-centric Feast Days were ordained to be met, fulfilling the requirements of Passover in every particular. This unique time-measuring model plays a large role in differentiating the legitimate lunar-based Messiah from the illegitimate solar calendar wannabees. The Sun was Darkened from the Sixth to the Ninth Hour.
Today, the call has gone forth to the entire world to restore the Eternal Father’s celestial timepiece as demonstrated in the Creator’s correctly appointed trinity of lights. Most will not respond. However, His loving and obedient followers will be as one awakened from sleep as He prepares to deliver them from the bondage of Babylon, Rome, and their false calendar systems and prepare them as a remnant for the final Promised Land. Just like the Hebrews of old, the final generation will, in haste, have many truths to learn and many false teachings to unlearn.
For the Eternal Father’s TORAH Law, the Bridal Covenant has no purpose or fulfillment when separated from Passover and its all-encompassing provision provided by YAHUSHA haMashiach (the Messiah). The Torah, with its Laws, Statutes of the fixed time, and Judgments, is only binding as it was ratified by the Messiah’s sacrifice precisely on Passover, the 14th, as counted from the first full New Moon of the year in spring. This Feast Day symbol identifies Yahusha haMashiach as the one and only Messiah and Lamb and defines the single mechanism and pathway whereby humanity may be restored to the Eternal Father.
“But when the fullness of the time was come, Alahim sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the TORAH LAW, to redeem them that were under the TORAH LAW, that we might receive the adoption of sons.” Galatians 4:4-5
If you honor and substitute any other style of YEAR, MONTH, WEEK, DAY, or DATE in its place, or any other Messiah by a different name, such as Jesus Christ, you are not yet fully separated from Babylon, and Rome’s pagan confusion. Satan holds claim to all replacement theology under the banner of Babylon, Egypt, and Rome, his seat of authority.
Consequently, and by extension, if Passover, the 14th of the astro-luni-solar month of Abib in the spring, is not found as the “sign to you on your hand and as a memorial between your eyes,” then neither will the “TORAH [and Bridal Covenant] BE FOUND IN YOUR MOUTH (Exodus 13:9-10).” Today is the day to choose to walk in the newness of life and worship the Eternal Father, Yahuah Alahim, and His Son, Yahusha haMashiach, according to the rhythm of their unique calendar model.
In His providence, our loving Eternal Father, YAHUAH Alahim, has tenderly cared for and nourished not only ancient Yasharal (Israel) but YOU and ME, with an accurate record of His sacred worship calendar. He has done so that we may not be without excuse to recognize His Son, the promised Messiah at His first and second coming, designed to fulfill the time-centric Temple prophecies of the true LAMB, PRIEST, and KING, on His unique time-measuring model.
True Yasharal (Israel) had to undergo a full rehab and restoration, accepting and keeping sacred His set-apart TIME-MEASURING CALENDAR MODEL. No less will be the experience of all His end-time obedient followers. They will endure the pain of coming out of the false religions, churches, and synagogues and discover how far they have been from the truth. through the changes that come with His rehab and restoration, they will seek to align their soul temples to both TRUTH and the correct SYNCHRONIZED TIME MODEL. All of mankind will face this valley of decision. It will be here at the lowest place that the foundations of TRUST will be laid for entering His Kingdom and the Eternal Promised Land as prepared from the beginning.
Yahusha (Joshua) and ancient Yasharal (Israel) were not permitted to enter into the PROMISED LAND until they removed themselves from the Egyptian pagan religion, which substituted the Creator’s calendar system with a counterfeit that paid tribute to the great deceiver. We must be restored to the correct use of His divinely ordained trinity of lights, the sun, moon, and stars. Along with the entire Bridal Covenant, the correct TIME-KEEPING MODEL is His chosen vetting system for His end-time Yasharal (Israel). Upon entering into the PROMISED LAND, His glorious Eternal Kingdom government, these alone will receive a white stone and a new name. HalleluYAH!!!
At long last, following the Second Coming, all will be in harmony for praise and worship in the ETERNAL Kingdom on His signature sacred days: Full New Moons, lunar Sabbaths, and annual lunar Feast Days, from one New Moon to another.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Ruach (power, presence, and promise of YAHUAH) says to the
churchesecclesia (called out ones). To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. Revelation 2:17
And the Ruach and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely. Revelation 22:17
From one New Moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says Yahuah. Isaiah 66:23
Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am Yahuah who sanctifies you. Exodus 31:13-14
May Yahuah guide you as you seek the FATHER OF LIGHTS (James 1:17).
