The Creator’s Calendar Portal

Introduction

Embark on a transformative journey into a truth deliberately concealed, a reality so profound that its authentication may appear stranger than fiction.

This platform is devoted to unveiling the Creator’s Calendar, an intricate celestial arrangement divinely ordained during the week of Creation, comprising a harmonious trinity of the sun, moon, and stars. This unique astro-luni-solar system was ingeniously designed to herald the entrances and exits of our Creator’s YEARS, MONTHS, WEEKS, and DAYS. Remarkably, ALL DIVISIONS OF TIME were originally designed to unfold from FULL MOON TO FULL MOON, initiating the springtime Rosh Hashanah (New Year’s Day) annually, along with lunar months, lunar weeks, and the lunar count of days upon our spherical Earth (Genesis 1:14-16; Exodus 12:1-4; Psalms 104:19).

Emerging from the rubble left behind by the popularized Roman solar calendar, which commences its year near the winter solstice and has divorced itself from the biblical lunar prescription that commences in spring, the Creator’s unique model continues to stand apart, quietly, but not without witness. For “Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night shows forth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their measuring line has gone out through all the earth…”

The Creator’s Calendar also distinguishes itself from the modern Rabbinical Jewish calendar with its dark conjunction New Moon, and from the Karaite Jewish calendar with its crescent New Moon, carried forward from ancient Babylon.

This article traces the remarkable story of how the original FULL MOON as the beginning of lunar years and months, the genuine lunar seventh-day Sabbath, and the sacred lunar Feast Days of Scripture’s Torah Law were displaced through successive historical and calendrical changes. Yet their celestial witnesses remain above us, continuing to mark the rhythm established by the Creator from the beginning. The purpose of this study is therefore not merely to uncover what changed, but to issue a call to restoration, returning the Creator’s Calendar and His original sacred days to their rightful places.

“And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, the repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths to dwell in.” YeshaYAHU (Isaiah) 58:12

These time-centric truths emerge as vital puzzle pieces and stepping stones for the elect in Earth’s final conflict, preparing them for the eternal Kingdom. Join us as we explore the evidence and consider the call to restoration.

“A truth’s initial commotion
is directly proportional to how deeply the lie was believed.
When a well-packaged web of lies
has been sold gradually to the masses over generations,
the truth will seem utterly preposterous
and its speaker, a raving lunatic.”
~ Dresden James

An Invitational

You are invited to take your time and explore the pages of this website. The evidence presented here has been gathered from Scriptural, historical, and astronomical sources, each contributing another piece to a remarkable picture. In His compassion, our Eternal Father, YAHUAH Alahim/Elohim, continues to bring neglected truths to LIGHT, calling His faithful to examine the evidence, search the Scriptures, and prepare for His promised RETURN. There is a wealth of knowledge awaiting your discovery, and we trust that what you encounter will inspire you with the courage and conviction to share these important truths with family and friends.

This testimony, written both in Scripture and across the cosmos, points to the Creator’s heavenly ordained timekeeping model, intricately connected to His Bridal Covenant and wondrous Plan of Salvation. Through the relationship of TIME & EVENT, the REMEDY for SIN, accomplished through our Messiah, unfolds through the prophetic pattern of the Sanctuary services and finds beautiful expression in the seven annual Feast Days.

While all of YAHUAH’s appointed TIMES were established to synchronize His faithfulness with His sacred rhythm of worship, the seven annual Feast Days reveal something more. Together they portray the unfolding Plan of Salvation, the divine provision by which mankind may be RESTORED to His Standard of Righteousness and ultimately to His eternal Kingdom.

This is why sacred TIME is more than an interesting calendar question. It is woven into the prophetic pattern itself. Those who have “eyes to see and ears to hear” are invited to recognize that pattern, synchronize their soul temples with His appointed TIMES, and listen for the midnight cry:

“Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go you out to meet Him!”

As portrayed in the parable of the wise and foolish virgins, the faithful arise, trim their lamps, and prepare to meet the Bridegroom when He comes. The invitation before us is therefore both simple and profound: Search the Scriptures, examine the evidence, watch the heavenly LIGHTS, and be prepared to answer the call.

I think this preserves what was beautiful in your original while changing primarily two things. I removed “No one will be left with an excuse,” because it changes an invitation into a warning rather abruptly, and I changed “Only those…” into invitational language because your later sections have plenty of opportunity to address the consequences of rejecting the evidence. Pasted text(3)

While you were sleeping, time passed quickly by,
First the sun, then the moon, and all the stars in the sky.
Celestial bodies revolving, ever onward to show,
His magnificent timepiece, from its EAST to WEST flow.
Matthew 25:5; Genesis 1:14-18; Psalms 19:1-3; Psalms 97:6-7;

Placed in the heavens, at the Creator´s command,
They brought joy and harmony throughout the whole land.
If this weren’t enough, He portioned the moon’s light,
For lunar years, lunar months, and lunar Sabbaths delight.
Genesis 1:14-18; 1 Chronicles 23:3-32; Exodus 12:1-3;
Ezekiel 46:1; Isaiah 66:23; Psalms 81:3

Lost and Forgotten

Although nearly lost and forgotten among the calendar systems of the modern world, the Creator’s calendar and clock in the heavens have continued their faithful testimony since TIME on Earth began. The heavenly LIGHTS declare the majesty, authority, and Kingship of YAHUAH Alahim, the marvelous Creator of all things (Psalms 19:1-4). Yet they were appointed for more than declaring His glory. They provide the celestial framework for worship and synchronization between the Creator and His faithful followers, establishing the prescribed rhythm of His unchanging astro-luni-solar time-measuring model.

Yet there is still more. Woven into this celestial prescription of TIME is the prophetic framework of the entire Plan of Salvation. YAHUAH did not establish His appointed TIMES independently of His redemptive EVENTS. Through the Sanctuary pattern and the seven annual Feast Days, TIME & EVENT come together in a prophetic sequence that reveals the work of Yahusha haMashiach, from the sacrifice of the Lamb to the ultimate restoration of mankind to the Kingdom of YAHUAH.

From Creation, these heavenly LIGHTS provided mankind with visible markers by which the passage of TIME could be recognized. YEARS, MONTHS, WEEKS, and DAYS were not intended to function as unrelated measurements, but as harmonious divisions within one celestial order. Each smaller unit of TIME belonged within the framework of the larger, creating an observable rhythm through which YAHUAH’s appointed TIMES could be identified.

Consistent New Moon and Sabbath markers are exhibited throughout the biblical record, including the storylines of Creation, the Covenant of Abraham, the Exodus from Egypt, and most explicitly, the crucifixion of our Messiah. Remarkably, within the framework of this study, each provides another witness to the original first day of the lunar month beginning with the FULL MOON, followed by the Sabbath as a subdivision within the lunar month. Pasted text(3)

Yet something so foundational gradually became obscured. As civilizations developed and imposed their own methods of reckoning TIME, the celestial pattern established at Creation became increasingly separated from the calendars governing everyday life. Eventually, generations were born into calendar systems so familiar that few thought to ask whether the calendar hanging upon the wall actually reflected the timekeeping pattern described in Scripture.

And herein lies one of the central questions of this study: If the Creator placed His clock in the heavens, how did mankind come to measure sacred TIME by calendar systems that operate independently of those heavenly LIGHTS?

Interestingly, historical Jewish sources preserve important traces of an earlier relationship between the New Moon, the Sabbath, and the lunar cycle:

“Sabbath and New Moon (Rosh Chodesh), both periodically recur in the course of the year.  The New Moon is still, and the Sabbath originally was, dependent upon the lunar cycle… Originally the New Moon was celebrated in the same way as the Sabbath.” Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, “Holidays,” Volume 5, p. 410.

“The period of New Moon was, in pre-exilic [pre-Babylonian Talmudic] times, celebrated by the cessation of labor; it was superior even to the Sabbath-day, which formed but a part of it [four Sabbaths within its lunar cycle] (see I Sam. xx. 18-34; II Kings iv. 23; Amos viii. 5; Hos. ii. 13 [A. V. 11]; Ezek. xlvi. 3); but it lost its importance during the [Babylonian and later Roman] exile and was observed mainly as the determining factor of the calendar with its festivals… In the Temple, New Moon was celebrated by special sacrifices [which differentiated it from work days and seventh-day Sabbaths] (Num. xxviii. 11-15; II Chron. ii. 4, viii. 13; Ezra iii. 5; Neh. x. 33) and by the blowing of the trumpet (Num. x. 10)…” Jewishencyclopedia.com,Jewish Encyclopedia, 1906 Edition, New Moon, Kaufmann Kohler, Vol. 9, p. 243.

Prophetic East-West Time Continuum

From the beginning of Genesis 1:16, we find that the greater light (sun) rules the DAY.  This means the visible sun rules the daylight from east to west and never from west to east during the night. The stars rule from east to west for the entire night. This means that just as the sun and starry constellations visibly arise in the east to rule, so too does the brilliant full moon rise and rule from the east to west without the presence of the sun. This means that the sun has already set on the night the moon beacons the start of the new month. Only one lunar phase meets this criterion, as it appears in its brilliance and journeys across the starry heavens from horizon to horizon.

This east-to-west movement becomes especially significant when considered alongside the biblical Sanctuary. The wilderness Sanctuary and the later Temples were consistently oriented toward the EAST (H#6924, qedem: east, front, that which comes before). This is because TIME begins in the EAST. The orientation of the Sanctuary therefore harmonizes beautifully with the celestial order above, directing our attention toward the place from which each new progression of TIME appears.

What is proclaimed by the Torah (Law) and Tanakh (O.T.) regarding the prophetic set apart full moon is that it was pre-ordained to announce the start of years, months, the count to the seventh-day Sabbaths, count of days, and the count to each annual Feast Day forever, even unto the time of the restored earth (Isaiah 66:23). Additionally, none of us were ever taught that the 29 and 30 distinct lunar phases were designed to demarcate each day of the lunar month with its own unique lunar phase, numbering them from 1-29 or 30. Yet, these were ordained so that all one needs to do is look up to know what day, week, and even month of the year it is at any given time.

Yet the relationship extends beyond astronomy and architecture. The Sanctuary itself portrays the Plan of Salvation through a sequence of prophetic EVENTS, while the heavenly LIGHTS establish the appointed TIMES in which those EVENTS unfold. Once again, TIME & EVENT converge, providing another witness that the celestial calendar and the Sanctuary pattern belong to the same divinely ordered Plan of Salvation. Refer to the article The East-West Time Continuum.

New Moon and Renewed Moon Terminology Options

The term New Moon has been associated with the dark lunar phase for nearly 1,700 years. When the Rabbinical Jewish calendar incorporated the dark lunar phase into its reckoning of the beginning of lunar months in the fourth century A.D., the biblical Hebrew term chodesh (H#2320), meaning “new” or referring to the month, became associated with that beginning. Much later, the Karaite Jews adopted the first visible crescent as their lunar-month marker and likewise identified it as the New Moon.

When Scripture was eventually translated into English, chodesh came to be commonly rendered “New Moon.” Consequently, with both the dark conjunction and visible crescent being identified as forms of a “new” moon, the FULL MOON occurring approximately fourteen to fifteen days later in the conventional lunar sequence came to be described by some as the “renewed moon.”

Yet this raises an important textual question: Does Scripture itself identify either the dark conjunction or the first visible crescent as the New Moon?

Within the framework of this study, the answer is significant because nowhere in Scripture is chodesh explicitly identified with either of these lunar phases. Their association with the beginning of the biblical month therefore deserves careful examination rather than being assumed from later calendrical tradition.

But this study presents evidence for a very different conclusion. It proposes that the FULL MOON, rather than occurring in the middle of the biblical month, originally announced its beginning and served as the celestial marker from which the lunar count proceeded. As the Scriptural, historical, and astronomical evidence unfolds throughout this website, we will examine the case that this was the lunar marker recognized by YAHUAH’s faithful followers in the earlier biblical pattern.

For this reason, the terminology itself matters. If the starting point of the lunar month was changed, then the familiar modern meanings attached to New Moon, full moon, and renewed moon can unintentionally cause us to interpret Scripture through a later calendrical framework.

The Strong’s Hebrew definition: (H#2320 – chodesh –  חדשׁ – the new moon, month, monthly, 1a) the first day of the month, 1b) the lunar month).

The Strong’s Hebrew definition: (H#2318 – chodash –  חדשׁ – to be new, renew, repair). 

Compare H#2320 with H#2318. Notice that both maintain the same Hebrew spelling when represented without vowel points. The second definition is especially interesting because H#2318 encompasses three closely related ideas: new, renewed, and repaired.

So the question remains: As we seek to restore the FULL MOON as the beginning of lunar years and months, what should we call it?

Should we call it the New Moon, together with its New Moon Day designation, even though readers accustomed to modern lunar terminology may initially associate “New Moon” with the dark conjunction? Or should we call it the Renewed Moon and Renewed Moon Day, terminology that may communicate the concept of restoration but does not correspond as directly with the familiar English biblical designation “New Moon”?

This presents something of a terminology conundrum. Yet moving forward, it seems important to maintain the biblical terminology English readers will actually encounter in Scripture: New Moon and New Moon Day. At the same time, the Hebrew root represented by H#2318 carries the related concepts of being new, renewed, and repaired, all of which beautifully complement the restoration theme presented throughout this study.

For this reason, throughout this article and website, the FULL MOON marking the beginning of the lunar month will be referred to as the FULL NEW MOON, and its designated first day of the month as the FULL NEW MOON DAY. This terminology preserves the familiar Scriptural designation while clearly distinguishing the lunar phase identified within this study as the original beginning of the biblical month.

I think this is stronger than my previous version because it does not merely tell readers what terminology you use. It walks them through why you made that choice. Refer to 349 New Moon Occurrences in Scripture.

How the Creator’s Calendar Works

Here is a practical illustration of how the Creator’s Calendar works. The blue calendar example below displays the 29 or 30 DAYS of the LUNAR MONTH, beginning with the FULL NEW MOON DAY as Day 1 (H#2320, חדשׁ chodesh: New Moon, lunar month, first day of the lunar month).

But notice something especially important. The lunar month is not merely a sequence of numbered days. Within it are four complete lunar WEEKS, each consisting of six workdays followed by the seventh-day Sabbath. In this way, the MONTH provides the larger framework within which the WEEKS and DAYS are ordered. When one lunar month is completed, the next FULL NEW MOON refreshes and renews the count, beginning another lunar month and its four-week sequence.

NEW MOON DAY – Day 1 
Six workdays (2-7) followed by the FIRST SABBATH – Day 8
Six workdays (9-14) followed by the SECOND SABBATH – Day 15
Six workdays (16-21) followed by the THIRD SABBATH – Day 22
Six workdays (23-28) followed by the FOURTH SABBATH – Day 29
Transition (free day) – (Day 30 occurs every other month.)

NEW MOON DAY – Day 1
Six workdays (2-7) followed by the FIRST SABBATH – Day 8
Six workdays (9-14) followed by the SECOND SABBATH – Day 15
Six workdays (16-21) followed by the THIRD SABBATH – Day 22
Six workdays (23-28) followed by the FOURTH SABBATH – Day 29

Each consecutive month therefore begins with the FULL NEW MOON DAY, which refreshes and renews the count of DAYS and the four WEEKS that make up the next lunar month, with the occasional 30th transition day completing the lunar cycle. The existence of the New Moon Day is especially significant because it interrupts the continuous cycling of weeks at the beginning of every lunar month. The weekly count does not simply continue independently from one month into the next. Instead, it is renewed from the celestial marker that announces the beginning of the new month.

This reveals an important distinction that can initially seem unusual to readers accustomed to the continuously cycling Gregorian week: the Sabbath is always the seventh day of its WEEK, but it is never the seventh day of the LUNAR MONTH. Because FULL NEW MOON DAY stands at the head of the month before the six workdays begin, the four seventh-day Sabbaths consistently fall upon the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th days of the lunar month.

Refer to the article, The Sabbath’s Consistent Lunar Month Dates.

Four Pivotal Synchronized Events in Biblical History

Four pivotal EVENTS spanning approximately 4,000 years of biblical history provide a remarkable chronological witness. Although separated from one another by centuries, and in some cases millennia, each is connected within this study to the same prophetic position in the lunar month: the dark conjunction occurring near the middle of the month rather than the FULL MOON.

This synchronization becomes especially significant because it works backward as well as forward. If these pivotal EVENTS occur at or near the dark lunar phase in the middle of the month, then the lunar count places the FULL NEW MOON approximately fourteen days earlier at the beginning of the month. In this way, the EVENTS themselves become chronological witnesses to the starting point from which their appointed dates were counted. (Click on the image to enlarge it.)

Compare the following four events and notice how, by Divine design, they synchronize with one another at the same position within the lunar month, although separated by hundreds and even thousands of years:

1. The First Sacrifice in Eden for Sin – Passover’s Blood-Stained Trail of Promise
2. Abrahamic Covenant – “The Night was Dark.”
3. The First Passover and Exodus from Egypt – “Restoring the Creator’s Calendar.”
4. Our Messiah’s Passover Sacrifice – Yahusha haMashiach’s death occurred on Passover, the 14th day of the first lunar month, counted from the New Moon. Within the argument presented in this study, the darkened sun at the crucifixion provides the culminating celestial witness to the lunar phase associated with this appointed TIME.  “The Sun was Darkened from the Sixth to the Ninth Hour.”

Separately, these four EVENTS provide important chronological markers. Together, they form something far more profound: a prophetic sequence connecting the first sacrifice for sin with the long-promised and ultimately fulfilled sacrifice of Yahusha haMashiach.

Here again we encounter the principle introduced earlier: MESSIAH, TIME, and EVENT converge. The prophetic EVENT was not fulfilled at an arbitrary moment. It occurred at its appointed TIME, within the same celestial framework established by YAHUAH from the beginning.

Blueprint from Antiquity

This is the blueprint from antiquity. From the beginning, YAHUAH established more than a means for measuring the passage of TIME. He established a celestial framework within which His appointed EVENTS would unfold. The heavenly LIGHTS mark His YEARS, MONTHS, WEEKS, DAYS, and appointed TIMES, while the unfolding events of Scripture reveal the prophetic significance attached to them.

Here the Creator’s Calendar becomes inseparably connected to the Plan of Salvation. From the first sacrifice for sin in Eden, through the Covenant with Abraham and the Exodus from Egypt, to the Sanctuary services and ultimately the sacrifice of Yahusha haMashiach, Scripture reveals an unfolding pattern of TIME & EVENT. These prophetic EVENTS were not positioned randomly within history. They occurred according to appointed TIMES within the celestial framework established by YAHUAH.

The Sanctuary made this relationship visible. Its daily, weekly, monthly, and annual services formed a continuing prophetic lesson. The seven annual Feast Days carried that pattern forward, portraying the unfolding work of salvation through Yahusha haMashiach. In this way, the heavenly LIGHTS established the appointed TIMES, while the Sanctuary and Feast Days portrayed the EVENTS that would find their fulfillment in Messiah.

This is why sacred TIME matters. TIME does not save us. Yahusha haMashiach saves us. Yet YAHUAH deliberately placed the prophetic EVENTS of salvation within His appointed TIMES. Together, MESSIAH, TIME, and EVENT form a prophetic blueprint that stretches from antiquity toward the ultimate restoration of mankind and the completion of the Plan of Salvation.

And all this continues according to His time-honored, specifically lunar-appointed Feast Days. They identify His sacred pathway of TRUTH and RESTORATION, leading toward the main entranceway when the Door/Gate is open at its appointed TIME. Within this same pattern are His FULL NEW MOON DAY and the four sequenced lunar Sabbaths of each month (Ezekiel 46:1-3).

Might this ancient blueprint also illuminate our Messiah’s parable of the five wise and five foolish virgins? All ten awaited the Bridegroom, yet only those who were prepared entered through the Door before it was shut. Could there also be a time-centric dimension to His warning, calling His faithful not only to recognize the Bridegroom, but to be prepared to meet Him at the appointed TIME? (Matthew 25:1-13).

 

There’s No Debate

No one is debating that Sunday is the first day and Saturday the seventh day of the modern Gregorian calendar, because they are. The more important question is whether that continuously cycling week is the same weekly structure established by the Creator in Scripture.

This distinction is crucial. The Julian/Gregorian calendar belongs to a Roman-derived system of timekeeping whose week operates continuously and independently of the lunar month. By contrast, the calendar model presented throughout this study is rooted in the celestial LIGHTS established at Creation, with the sun, moon, and stars functioning together as markers of sacred TIME (Genesis 1:14).

The issue, therefore, is not whether Saturday occupies the seventh position in the modern week. It does. The issue is whether the modern continuously cycling week provides the biblical standard by which YAHUAH’s seventh-day Sabbath is to be identified.

The historical development of the Roman calendar through Julius Caesar, later imperial and ecclesiastical developments, and eventually the Gregorian reform produced the calendar framework inherited by much of the modern world. Within the argument presented here, however, that framework does not preserve the Scriptural relationship between the New Moon, lunar month, weekly Sabbath, and annual Feast Days.

This distinction carries profound prophetic implications. Scripture warns of a power that would “think to change times and laws” (Daniel 7:25), while Revelation describes an opposing system of authority and worship. Within the prophetic framework developed throughout this website, the displacement of YAHUAH’s appointed TIMES by a calendar system operating independently of His celestial markers deserves serious consideration.

For this reason, neither Saturday nor Sunday should be assumed to be sacred merely because of its position within the modern continuous week. Each must be tested against the Scriptural pattern. If the seventh-day Sabbath is determined within the lunar framework established by YAHUAH, then a Saturday or Sunday can coincide with that Sabbath only when the two calendar systems happen to intersect. Refer to the article, No Debate, Saturday is the Seventh Day of the Roman Calendar.

Our Creator’s Original Sabbath

The Creator’s authentic and original Kadosh (Holy) Sabbath, as presented in this study, is counted within the same lunar framework that governs the month and year. But its count does not begin from the dark conjunction honored within the modern Rabbinical calendar, nor from the visible crescent associated with Karaite reckoning. Instead, the weekly count begins in relationship to the restored FULL NEW MOON marker.

Why is this important? Because the Creator’s divisions of TIME do not function as unrelated cycles. Within this model, each smaller division of TIME exists within the framework of the next larger division. DAYS form WEEKS, WEEKS are contained within the lunar MONTH, and lunar MONTHS are contained within the YEAR. Rather than operating independently, they form an integrated celestial system.

I would actually remove the “whole pizza” analogy here. It is understandable, but the surrounding material has become much more sophisticated, and the pizza suddenly makes the article sound informal.

Then I would keep your image and revise the next portion:

There are two significant indicators that a calendar system has departed from this original pattern:

1. Its divisions of TIME have become separated from the coordinated testimony of the sun, moon, and stars.
2. Its smaller divisions of TIME operate independently rather than functioning as subdivisions within the larger units.

In contrast to today’s commonly used systems of timekeeping, the Creator’s lunar month presented in this study contains four Sabbaths within the boundary established from one FULL NEW MOON DAY to the next. These Sabbaths consistently occupy the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th dates of the lunar month, maintaining the relationship between New Moon and Sabbath reflected throughout this study (Isaiah 66:23).

Because twelve lunar months are shorter than a solar year, a strictly twelve-month lunar count would gradually move through the seasons. Yet the relationship between the lunar and solar cycles provides a recurring nineteen-year pattern in which seven years require a thirteenth month to maintain seasonal synchronization. These occur in years 3, 6, 8, 11, 14, 17, and 19 of the familiar nineteen-year cycle. Such years are commonly called embolismic years because they contain an additional intercalary month. Today this relationship is commonly known as the Metonic Cycle, after the Greek astronomer Meton.

It looks like this, with the twelve-month years represented in blue and the thirteen-month years represented in green.  1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 – 9 – 10 – 11 – 12 – 13 – 14 – 15 – 16 – 17 – 18 – 19.  Refer to the article/study, “New Moon by New Moon You Shall Keep.”

He set for a sign, His Sabbath with care,
To be counted from New Moons, high up in the air.
The full moon that’s seen tells us Sabbath’s the eighth,
The fifteenth, twenty-second, and twenty-ninth are the dates.
Genesis 1:14-18; Exodus 12:1-3; 16; 19; Psalms 19:1-3; Psalms 97:6-7;  
1 Chronicles 23:3-32; 1 Samuel 20:5; 2 Kings 4:23; Psalms 81:3;
Isaiah 66:23; Ezekiel 46:1-3; Amos 8:5

While the Sabbath remains consistently the seventh day of the WEEK, it is never the seventh day of the lunar MONTH. At first this may appear contradictory, but the distinction becomes clear once the FULL NEW MOON DAY is recognized as the first day of each lunar month. The six workdays begin the following day and are followed by the seventh-day Sabbath, establishing the four-week sequence. At the completion of the lunar month, the next FULL NEW MOON DAY renews the monthly count, and the pattern begins again.

October 22, 1844, and the Crescent Moon

The article link below is included specifically for the consideration of our Seventh-day Adventist friends. It presents foundational evidence connecting October 22, 1844, to lunar-calendar reckoning and examines the significant role of the crescent moon in establishing that historic date. Yet the calendrical implications of this evidence have received remarkably little attention.

For those who continue to recognize the significance traditionally assigned to October 22, 1844, this raises an important question: If the date itself was established through lunar reckoning, what might that reveal about the calendar upon which biblical appointed TIMES were originally determined? Refer to the article October 22, 1844, and the Crescent Moon.

The Restored Definition of “Seasons” aka Mo’edim

The Hebrew keyword H#4150, mo’edim (מועדים), translated as seasons in Genesis 1:14, Leviticus 23:4, and Psalms 104:19, is one of the most important terms for understanding the Creator’s Calendar. Over the centuries, its specific connection to the lunar framework of sacred TIME has become obscured as solar methods of time-measuring became dominant. Yet despite the changes in how this important word has come to be understood, Scripture itself provides the remedy.

Beginning with Genesis 1:14, let us trace this critical keyword through Scripture and discover how its lunar connection can be restored:

“And Alahim said, ‘Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.’” Genesis 1:14 KJV

According to Strong’s and Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew dictionaries, the term translated seasons is H#4150, mo’edim (מועדים), carrying such meanings as appointed time, appointed place, set feast, fixed time, appointment, festival, and assembly. These definitions are helpful, but they do not by themselves identify the celestial means by which those appointed TIMES are determined. For that, we must allow Scripture to provide its own additional witness. Pasted text(3)

Psalms 104:19 supplies a remarkable piece of that evidence. Referring to the Creator, YAHUAH Alahim, it declares:

“He [YAHUAH] ordained the MOON for seasons…” Psalms 104:19

This raises an important question. Do the seasons here refer merely to the four familiar solar seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter? Or does the verse reveal something much more specific about the role of the moon in regulating YAHUAH’s appointed TIMES?

Consider the verse again with the Hebrew term identified:

“He ordained the MOON for seasons [H#4150, mo’edim (מועדים), appointed TIMES]…” Psalms 104:19

Here Scripture itself establishes the connection that is essential to this study: the MOON was ordained in relationship to the mo’edim. The lexicons provide the meaning of appointed times, while Psalms 104:19 identifies the celestial body specifically associated with those appointments. Together they restore an important dimension that can easily be missed when the English word seasons is read through the lens of our modern solar calendar.

Modern Hebrew provides an additional and interesting witness. The online Hebrew translator referenced in this study renders mo’edim in the sense of “specific dates” or “commemorative dates.” This harmonizes beautifully with the purpose of YAHUAH’s sacred appointments, which commemorate and prophetically portray the work of our Messiah, the Plan of Salvation, and ultimately the REMEDY for SIN. Pasted text(3)

Bringing these witnesses together, the meaning intended throughout this study can therefore be expressed as:

Mo’edim = specific lunar-appointed TIMES or commemorative dates.

This restored connection provides an illuminating way to understand Genesis 1:14. To make explicit the lunar relationship established by the Scriptural witnesses above, its calendar intent may be expressed as follows:

“And Alahim said, ‘Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for specific lunar-appointed TIMES, and for days, and years.’”  Genesis 1:14,

Restored Hebrew intent according to the multitude of witnesses presented above.

Because Psalms 104:19 identifies the MOON in relation to the mo’edim, the Creator’s authentic calendar dates are found within the lunation, the lunar month of approximately 29-30 days. His calendar year therefore comprises lunar MONTHS divided into their smaller units of WEEKS and DAYS, each functioning within the larger celestial framework. Then, with each FULL NEW MOON DAY, the lunar sequence begins again.

The Interlocking Lunar Puzzle Pieces

Like interlocking pieces of a puzzle, the FULL NEW MOON DAY, lunar MONTH, six WORK DAYS, seventh-day SABBATH, and annual FEAST DAYS belong to one integrated time-measuring system. Each piece has its appointed place, and together they reveal a larger pattern that is difficult to recognize when any one of them is considered independently. Leviticus 23 provides an important key to seeing how these pieces fit together.

Notice how these interlocking time elements appear within the restored-text presentation of Leviticus 23:1-5:

Leviticus 23:1-5

1. “And declared Yahuah unto Moses, saying,

2. ‘Speak unto the children of Yasharal (Israel), and command them concerning the specific lunar appointed dates (H#4150 mo’edim) of Yahuah, which you shall proclaim My set-apart (Holy) rehearsal assemblies (H#4744 miqra). These are themselves My specific lunar appointed dates (H#4150 mo’edim):  [Note the colon.]

3. Six days from sunrise to sunset you shall do your work, but in the day of the seventh it is the Sabbath-rest to observe the covenant, a set-apart (Holy) rehearsal assembly (H#4744 miqra) in which you shall do no work, for it is the Sabbath unto Yahuah in all your dwellings.

4. These are the specific lunar appointed dates (H#4150 mo’edim) of Yahuah, the set-apart (Holy) rehearsal assemblies (H#4744 miqra), which you shall proclaim as SIGNS [of prophetic events to be fulfilled by the Messiah alone] at their specific lunar appointed dates (H#4150 mo’edim): [Note the colon.]

5. In the lunar month (H#2320 chodesh), the first one of the year, in the fourteenth day counted from the New Moon Day (H#2320 chodesh), between (H#996 beyn) the evenings (plural twilights) (H#6153 ereb), is the PASSOVER of Yahuah.'” Leviticus 23:1-5 and beyond…

With these interlocking pieces in view, the Creator’s WEEKS are also understood within these lunar dates. They are counted within the monthly framework from FULL NEW MOON DAY to FULL NEW MOON DAY, through the 29 or 30 days of the lunation. The four seventh-day Sabbaths consequently occupy the recurring lunar-month dates of the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th. Isaiah 66:23 provides an additional witness by placing the recurring New Moon and Sabbath together in the rhythm of worship.

Each of the annual mo’edim, commonly called Feast Days, likewise follows in its prescribed sequential order within the lunar month. Because the seventh-day Sabbaths and annual Feast Days are both understood within the same lunar framework, the Feast Days are anchored by their count from the FULL NEW MOON DAY as well as by their relationship to the weekly Sabbath sequence. Within the argument of this study, this makes a weekly cycle operating perpetually and independently of the lunar month incompatible with the Scriptural pattern. Pasted text(3)

There is another important consequence. Because the FULL NEW MOON DAY, seventh-day Sabbaths, and annual prophetic Feast appointments each occupy their own prescribed positions within the same lunar framework, they do not randomly overlap one another. They appear to float across weekdays and Saturdays only when the lunar pattern is viewed through the grid of the Roman Gregorian calendar, whose months and continuous weeks operate independently of the lunar cycle.

This reverses the perspective. Rather than asking where YAHUAH’s appointed TIMES happen to fall upon the modern wall calendar, we must first ask a more foundational question: Which calendar provides the Scriptural STANDARD by which those sacred appointments were intended to be identified? 

Is It Really Impossible to Know Which Lunar Phase is Full?

This distinction is fundamental to understanding the Creator’s Calendar. The modern continuous week recognizes only an uninterrupted succession of workdays and seventh days. The lunar framework presented in this study recognizes the FULL NEW MOON DAY as a distinct monthly appointment around which the weekly sequence is ordered.

This also resolves what might otherwise appear to be a contradiction: the Sabbath is always the seventh day of its WEEK, but it is never the seventh day of the lunar MONTH. FULL NEW MOON DAY stands first, followed by six workdays, making the first seventh-day Sabbath the 8th day of the month. The same pattern produces the four recurring Sabbath dates of the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th.

I think this section should stay relatively short because your chart does much of the teaching visually.

Why the Sacred Days Never Overlap

“Sabbath, the Full Moon Day, and the week are independent of each other.” Meinhold, “Sabbath und Woche im O.T.” Göttingen, 1905, Jewish Encyclopedia.com, unedited full-text of the 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia, “Week,” by Emil G. Hirsch, Vol. 12, p. 481.

The Full Moon, the Starting Point for All Other Divisions of Time 

An intriguing historical witness adds another dimension to the evidence presented throughout this study. It appears in the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica article on the Zodiac, which cites the work of the distinguished nineteenth-century French Assyriologist François Lenormant and discusses the development of astronomical time-measuring among the early inhabitants of Mesopotamia. Wikisource

This geographical setting is especially significant within the biblical narrative. Mesopotamia was home to some of the earliest civilizations described following the Flood and later became associated with Babel and the rise of Babylon. For this reason, evidence concerning the earliest methods of measuring TIME in this region deserves careful consideration.

“Assyria and Babylonia—The twelvefold division of the zodiac was evidently suggested by the occurrence of twelve full moons in successive parts of it in the course of each year.  This approximate relation was first systematically developed [or maintained] by the early inhabitants of Mesopotamia and formed the starting point for all other divisions of time… [Later] The idea of tracing the sun’s path among the “stars” [by daylight] was when it occurred to Chaldaean astronomers, an original and, relatively to their means, a recondite one.  We owe to its realization by them the constitution and nomenclature of the [modern] twelve signs of the zodiac.”  1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica – Zodiac, p. 993, Lenormant, Orgines de l’Histoire, Vol. 1, p. 236. 

Three observations from this remarkable historical statement deserve our attention.

First: Twelve Full Moons Marked the Year

The quotation explicitly connects the twelvefold division of the zodiac with “twelve full moons” occurring successively throughout the year. This provides an important historical witness to the prominent role of the FULL MOON in the earliest Mesopotamian development of celestial time-measuring. Wikisource

This does not eliminate the occasional thirteenth lunar month required to maintain synchronization between lunar months and the solar year. Rather, twelve lunar months constitute the ordinary year, with intercalation periodically providing the additional month necessary for continued seasonal alignment.

The FULL MOON is also particularly significant within the Scriptural framework developed throughout this study because it belongs to the NIGHT sky together with the stars. This relationship harmonizes with the four Scriptural witnesses already examined in Genesis 1:16, Psalms 136:7-9, Jeremiah 31:35-36, and Revelation 12:1, where the moon and stars are repeatedly associated with the NIGHT.

Second: The Starting Point for Other Divisions of Time

Perhaps the most provocative phrase in the historical quotation is that this early Mesopotamian celestial relationship “formed the starting point for all other divisions of time.” Wikisource

Within the framework of this study, that statement deserves special attention. YEARS contain MONTHS, MONTHS contain WEEKS, and WEEKS contain DAYS. If the FULL MOON occupied a foundational position in the earliest celestial division of the year and month, it provides a striking historical parallel to the Scriptural model developed throughout this article, in which the FULL NEW MOON establishes the beginning from which the smaller divisions of TIME are ordered.

This is where the historical evidence and the biblical argument intersect. The historical source establishes the importance of the FULL MOON within early Mesopotamian time division. The Scriptural evidence presented throughout this study is what we use to investigate whether that same celestial marker governed YAHUAH’s MONTHS, WEEKS, DAYS, Sabbaths, and appointed TIMES.

That distinction actually strengthens your case because you are not asking the historical source to prove more than it says.

Within the Scriptural model presented here, the seventh-day Sabbath consequently remains synchronized with the lunar month rather than cycling independently of it. Isaiah 66:23 then carries both the New Moon and Sabbath forward into the prophetic picture of continuing worship.

Third: A Later Development in Chaldaean Astronomy

The same historical source makes another fascinating statement. It describes the idea of tracing the sun’s path among the stars as an original and, relative to the astronomical resources available at the time, “recondite” achievement of Chaldaean astronomers. From this development came the constitution and nomenclature of the twelve signs of the zodiac. Refer to the article Five Historical Methods of Time Measuring.

What Does This Historical Evidence Reveal?

The importance of this quotation lies in what it actually establishes: FULL MOONS occupied a foundational role in the early Mesopotamian development of celestial time-measuring, and that relationship became a starting point for further divisions of TIME.

Within the biblical framework presented throughout this website, this historical witness becomes especially intriguing. Scripture describes the post-Flood world beginning with Noah and his family, followed by the development of civilization in Mesopotamia and eventually the rebellion at Babel. This raises an important question: Could the ancient prominence of the FULL MOON preserve traces of an earlier celestial timekeeping pattern carried forward from the generations preceding Babel?

That is a powerful question. I would present it as a question, because the Britannica quotation itself cannot establish the Noah connection.

Likewise, the later association of Mesopotamia with Nimrod and Babel invites consideration of whether changes in celestial reckoning accompanied the larger spiritual and cultural departures described in Genesis. But here again, we should distinguish what Scripture explicitly states from what we are proposing as a possible historical reconstruction. Scripture connects Nimrod with Babel, but it does not state that Nimrod or Semiramis personally changed the lunar calendar.

What remains especially beautiful is the simplicity of the celestial model itself. In the earliest world there were no wall calendars, wristwatches, or international date lines. The Creator’s LIGHTS were visible above mankind, beyond human alteration. The sun, moon, and stars provided recurring celestial witnesses by which TIME could be observed and measured.

Within the model presented throughout this study, each smaller unit of TIME fits within the next larger unit: DAYS within WEEKS, WEEKS within MONTHS, and MONTHS within YEARS. The FULL NEW MOON provides the recurring celestial anchor from which the monthly sequence is renewed, creating a visible rhythm through which mankind may rendezvous with the Creator at His sacred lunar-appointed TIMES. Uncovered: Lunar Secrets from Ancient Babylon.

In the third generation, after Noah’s Ark came to rest,
Nimrod’s astrologers altered time, as they were possessed,
From the full moon to the dark, the occult was then born,
Babel’s tower was built, for YAH’S mo’edim* they did scorn.
(*mo’edim = lunar appointed time – Psalms 104:19)
1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica 
Uncovered: Lunar Secrets From Ancient Babylon

Out of her dark, deceitful midst, faithful Abraham was called,
From His Covenant unto Moses, YAH’S Torah Law was reinstalled.
Through this lineage of obedience, the Promised Lamb was to come,
Keeping the full moon for set time, as the rhythm of a drum.
Treasury of Evidence for the Full New Moon Announces Lunar Times.

According to the Flat Earth Theory, the first view of the sun is a tiny dot that grows steadily to a slender light that grows in length and width as it comes closer, with a glaring beam shining downward. As a result, the only time the sun could appear round is when it is directly overhead at noon.  So it is that, in contrast to the physical and visible spherical phenomenon of the sun that all the world can see, the Flat Earth Theory folks must deny their own eyes. Have you ever witnessed the sun appearing like this? Me neither.

The Witness of the Moon

The Single Antidote

The same singular antidote remains for the Jew and the Gentile alike.  The only WAY to straighten out the lies is to follow the path of Yahusha haMashiach (the Messiah), the Savior of mankind, the Redeemer of the World, and enter at the door of Rosh Hashanah (the full New Moon of New Year’s Day in the spring) and count 14 days to Passover, the 14th.

Your Messiah bore the cross/stake for you and me, and He alone has the power and provision to change any human being who comes to Him in humility, seeking forgiveness and a desire to TURN IT ALL AROUND. Passover’s epic appointed time was marked by a dark conjunction lunar phase in the middle of the lunar month, made manifest by a solar eclipse from the sixth to the ninth hour (12:00 P.M. to 3:00 P.M.). This identified the authentic New Moon as the full moon fourteen days earlier. Refer to the article, The Sun was Darkened from the Sixth to the Ninth Hour. 

PASSOVER is the eternal symbol and seal in your hand and forehead of the fulfilled PROMISE & PROVISION made by Yahusha haMashiach (the Messiah) to protect all His set-apart and faithful followers from receiving the Mark of the Beast. The power unto salvation has always been THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB, shed for you and me. 

Appointed Feast Days of YAH were replaced with the new,
Passover became “Easter,” on a counterfeit day too.
While Sunday has never been the Sabbath, it´s true,
Neither Friday night nor Saturday, as kept by the Jew.
Exodus 12:1-8; Leviticus 23:5; Psalms 74:3, Psalms 74:7-8; Isaiah 66:23; Ezekiel 46:1

You are not alone! All humankind has been SOLD under sin, but also under these long-standing and deep-seated deceptions of the Roman Christians and the Rabbinical Pharisee Jews alike. It is they who, together, have sold ALL the world into Babylonian captivity, the seat of Satan, by way of fraudulent calendars with their altered units of time and the abandonment of the Torah Law.  All are counterfeit substitute appointments for meeting with their Maker on their own terms for worship assemblies designed by the enemy of souls unto their undoing. 

However, each person can receive the free gift, for you were BOUGHT WITH A PRICE. The price was the LIFE and DEATH of our MESSIAH so that you may be restored into His likeness and synchronize your soul temple to His divinely prescribed worship rhythm, the time model set forth by our Creator that contains the promise of Salvation and REMEDY for SIN. Today, His voice is heard calling, “COME OUT OF BABYLON,” “BABYLON HAS FALLEN, HAS FALLEN,” “BE NOT PARTAKERS OF HER SINS!” “FOR BEHOLD THE BRIDEGROOM IS COMING, GO YOU OUT TO MEET HIM!”

Over true TIME is the battle, astro-lunar time will be found,
It is the secret of those living, who are eternity bound.
Yet, in accordance with ROME, and a pagan “holiday” feast,
“All the world in complacency, wonder after the BEAST.”
Revelation 16:16; Mark 4:11-12; Leviticus 23:1-44; Psalms 74:3,
Psalms 74:7-8; Acts 18:21; Revelation 13:3-4; Revelation 19:20

While all the world slumbered, and all the world slept,
The Messiah died on conjunction, PASSOVER’S solar eclipse to project;
The truth as is beaconed, from our Creator’s time-centric space,
Full New Moons are the secret, to see His marvelous face.
Luke 23:44-45; Matthew 25:5; Matthew 26:19; 1 Corinthians 5:7;
Ezekiel 46:1; Isaiah 66:23; Leviticus 23:1-44

Referring to the parable of the five wise and five foolish virgins, only those who first hear the voice of the Ruach ha Kadosh (voice of the Father) restoring His authentic truths of His full New Moon, lunar Sabbath, and prophetic Feast Days to His faithful will enter at the door at the LUNAR APPOINTED TIME WHEN IT IS OPEN.  All others who continue to follow the erroneous customs and traditions of their chosen pied piper, whether the Pope, modern Prophet, Reformer, Rabbi, Pastor, or church denominations, will arrive too late, and the door will be forever shut. And this for the simple reason they smugly believed they already had the truth. Because they did not have a heart that sought to get just as close as possible to Yahusha haMashiach, they lacked “the eyes to see and the ears to hear” His still, small voice calling them out. 

Overcoming is a Choice

“Truly, these times of ignorance Yahuah overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent.” Acts 17:30

1. If you have not yet received the lunar Sabbath as truth, might it be because you believe Saturday or Sunday have already been nailed down as fact by the Jews, Saturday Sabbatarians, Roman Catholics, or protestant churches, as the actual rest day or Sabbath of Scripture?
2. Perhaps you have traditionally kept Sunday as the “Lord’s Day,” believing you are no longer under the binding claims of the Torah (O.T.) Law, but under the New Christian dispensation of grace?
3. Perhaps you believe the lunar Sabbath to be a mere wind of doctrine blowing about to unsettle you from your perceived “Saturday Sabbath” antidote to receiving the Mark of the Beast?
4. Is it altogether possible that our loving Eternal Father may have reserved this Full New Moon and lunar Sabbath revelation for the remnant at such a time as this? Through His progressive and incremental Reformation and leading by His Ruach (power, presence, and provision), might this subject be chosen as a final test and vetting system to discern who you and I seek to worship and serve, before His Second Coming?
5. Has it ever been suggested from Scripture that when “new light” is presented that Yahuah’s obedient followers are to REJECT IT OUTRIGHT by closing both their eyes and ears to it, as a sign of allegiance to Him and their preconceived paradigms? It was the Bereans who were honored for first hearing, then searching the Scriptures to see if these things were so. 
6. Might the reference in Revelation to “come out of Babylon” aptly apply to our coming out of all counterfeit worship rhythms that stunningly originated in Babylon? A system so deceptive, it was designed to cause you to miss out on your eternal reward. Especially as it disregards the time-centric worship rhythm, our appointments with Him, our Creator on His Kadosh (Holy) full New Moon Days, lunar seventh-day Sabbaths, and prophetic lunar appointed annual Feast Days?

Not only are His ARMS outstretched and open to receive you, but He continues to STAND AT THE DOOR OF YOUR HEART and KNOCK. All you have to do is let Him in and be willing to follow the LAMB wherever He goes. He ever proceeds along the well-worn path from one time-centric Feast Day to the next, according to His time-measuring model, and He leads those who diligently follow into all TRUTH. Honoring Him by keeping His authentic calendar with its lunar-appointed Feast Days is the only method provided for His believers to take action and partake in the Plan of Salvation, illustrating those who actually do “follow the Lamb wherever He goes.” 

“He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His divine messengers (angels).” Revelation 3:4-5

You are encouraged to read the evidence presented prayerfully and with an open mind.  As a TESTING TRUTH of whether you hear and obey the Most High Father’s call, your choice of a calendar may determine your ETERNAL DESTINY.

As you seek the truth, may you be guided by “the FATHER OF LIGHTS with whom there is no variation or shadow of a turning orbit [full sun, full stars, full moon]?” James 1:17

To the Reader… This website has been created to share exciting discoveries from Scripture, History, and Astronomy.  Its purpose is to restore truths relating to the sacred NAMES and set apart LUNAR TIMES & EVENTS of the Bridal Covenant and its sole REMEDY for sinners contained in the annual lunar Feast Days performed by our Messiah alone.

This website is copyrighted. It is not in competition with any other website, person, or organization. Meaning it stands alone under Yahusha’s divine guidance. The articles are intended for your consideration, spiritual enlightenment, and knowledge of the truth in preparation for Yahusha haMashiach’s soon RETURN.

While I am happy to answer questions that further your understanding of these subjects, I am not here to debate or respond to questions about your beliefs, paradigms, or criticisms.  

Rather, I encourage you to read and study more than one article, and even build on them for greater insight, understanding, and edification. None of this has been taught in the churches or synagogues, but has been long hidden under the rubble of Roman laws, fraudulent Jewish traditions, and proactive Scriptural translation alterations, which were allowed by the Father “until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.” (Luke 21:24) The times of the Gentiles have now been fulfilled. Yahusha’s followers are waking up as they hear His voice calling them to come out of all the false systems of worship. PRAISE HIM WITH ALL YOUR HEART THAT YOU ARE ONE OF THESE!!!

Clarifying Our Purpose

This article and the materials presented on this website are not directed against Jews, Romans, Seventh-day Adventists, or any other people or faith communities. Our purpose is not to single out individuals, question motives, or assign blame. People are not the issue.

What is examined here are doctrinal systems and inherited teachings throughout history, measured carefully against the testimony of Scripture (Titus 1:13-14). Where those teachings diverge from the biblical record, we believe it is both appropriate and necessary to name the discrepancy with clarity and respect, identifying the who, what, when, where, why, and how.

Disagreement with doctrine is not an attack on persons. To question tradition is not to reject people. On the contrary, this work is offered in the spirit of informed choice, inviting readers to consider the sources of what they have been taught and to weigh those teachings thoughtfully against the Word of the Creator.

Each individual remains free to agree or disagree. Our role is not to persuade by pressure, but to inform with evidence, allowing conscience, prayer, and personal study to guide the outcome.

Truth can be examined without hostility, and conviction can be expressed without contempt. That is the standard we seek to uphold here.

2.2 Non-biblical quotations reproduced in the article

• Dresden James
  
  “A truth’s initial commotion is directly proportional to how deeply the lie was believed. When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker, a raving lunatic.”

• Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, “Holidays,” Vol. 5, p. 410
  
  “Sabbath and New Moon (Rosh Chodesh), both periodically recur in the course of the year. The New Moon is still, and the Sabbath originally was, dependent upon the lunar cycle… Originally the New Moon was celebrated in the same way as the Sabbath.”

• Jewish Encyclopedia (1906), “New Moon,” Kaufmann Kohler, Vol. 9, p. 243
  
  “The period of New Moon was, in pre-exilic [pre-Babylonian Talmudic] times, celebrated by the cessation of labor; it was superior even to the Sabbath-day, which formed but a part of it [four Sabbaths within its lunar cycle] (see I Sam. xx. 18-34; II Kings iv. 23; Amos viii. 5; Hos. ii. 13 [A. V. 11]; Ezek. xlvi. 3); but it lost its importance during the [Babylonian and later Roman] exile and was observed mainly as the determining factor of the calendar with its festivals… In the Temple, New Moon was celebrated by special sacrifices [which differentiated it from work days and seventh-day Sabbaths] (Num. xxviii. 11-15; II Chron. ii. 4, viii. 13; Ezra iii. 5; Neh. x. 33) and by the blowing of the trumpet (Num. x. 10)…”

• Scribner’s Dictionary of the Bible (1898), p. 521
  
  “In the time of the earliest prophets, the New Moon stood in the same line with another lunar observance, the Sabbath. Ezekiel, who curiously enough frequently dates his prophecies on the New Moon . . . describes the gate of the inner court of the (new) temple looking eastward as kept shut for the six working days, but opened on the Sabbath and the New Moon.”

• Meinhold, “Sabbath und Woche im O.T.” (cited via Jewish Encyclopedia, 1906, “Week,” Vol. 12, p. 481)
  
  “Sabbath, the Full Moon Day, and the week are independent of each other.”

• Encyclopaedia Britannica, “The Julian Calendar”
  
  “In the mid-1st century B.C. Julius Caesar invited Sosigenes, an Alexandrian astronomer, to advise him about the reform of the calendar, and Sosigenes decided that the only practical step was to abandon the lunar calendar altogether. Months must be arranged on a seasonal basis, and a tropical [solar] year used, as in the Egyptian calendar, but with its length 365.25 days.”

• World Book Encyclopedia, Vol. 3, p. 28
  
  “In 46 B.C. Julius Caesar asked astronomer Sosigenes to suggest ways to improve the calendar. Acting on Sosigenes suggestions, Caesar ordered the Romans to disregard the moon in calculating their calendars.“

• Sunrise magazine (Aug/Sept 2003), Sarah Belle Dougherty, review of E. Zerubavel, The Seven Day Circle*
  
  “Julius Caesar’s conquest of Egypt in the 1st century BC introduced this planetary week to the Roman Empire… Since the astrological and Jewish weeks were both seven days long, by the 1st century AD the day of Saturn had become identified with the Jewish Sabbath. After Christianity became the state religion, the Church integrated both cycles to produce our present week, used also by Jews and Muslims.”

• Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical Almanac, U.S. Naval Observatory, ed. P. K. Seidelmann, p. 586
  
  “The FOUR RULES OF POSTPONEMENTS were specifically designed to allow the [new Roman] seven-day week to cycle without interruption, while corrections by way of DELAYS are imposed upon the day of the New Moons [mo’ed H#4150 – new moon, lunar month, first day of the lunar month) and its specific lunar appointed dates]. This system proactively DELAYS the Feast Days by one to two days.”

• Encyclopedia Judaica, s.v. “Hillel.”
  
  “In AD 351-352 Roman persecution flared and the Jews revolted… Under this pressure Hillel II agreed to limit the functions of the head of the Sanhedrin… Hillel II published details informing all Jews of the methods of the [newly adopted] calculated calendar developed in Babylon… Hillel II is thus given the credit for the present fixed Rabbinical calendar, but in reality it originated in BABYLON and was just the starting point of the development of the Rabbinical calendar in use today.”

• Jewish Encyclopedia (1906), “History of the Calendar,” Jacobs & Adler, Vol. 3, pp. 498, 500
  
  “The history of the Jewish calendar may be divided into three periods—the Biblical, the Talmudic, and the post-Talmudic. The first rested purely on the observation of the sun and the moon, the second on observation and reckoning, the third entirely on reckoning.”
  
  “In 325 CE the Council of Nicaea was held… A new rule was therefore made, which, while still keeping Easter dependent on the moon, prevented it from coinciding with Passover.”
