and the Crescent New Moon
A Call to Reexamine the Evidence
This article invites our Seventh-day Adventist friends to reexamine a foundational aspect of their history through the lens of lunar evidence.
Long shrouded in mystery, the significance of October 22, 1844—a date revered as the culmination of prophetic expectation—finds its roots in the biblical lunar calendar. This exploration reveals hidden truths about the Sabbath and sacred Feast Days, offering fresh insights into timekeeping principles that are divinely ordained yet often overlooked.
By revisiting these discoveries, we honor both the legacy of faith that sought truth in the past and the continuing journey to understand the Creator’s precise timing for His worship rhythm as it details the Plan of Salvation and the remedy for sin.
From the Historical Record
The 2,300-day prophecy, extensively studied by Sir Isaac Newton and others, gained significant attention and momentum in the early 19th century through the dedicated efforts of William Miller, Samuel Snow, and their growing community of believers. They were convinced that this prophecy pinpointed the exact year and day of the Messiah’s return.
The following excerpt from the historical record, dated July 21, 1844, marks a pivotal moment when Samuel Snow and William Miller first recognized that the biblical feast days and calendar follow a lunar system. This revelation highlighted that the New Year began in the spring, with each month starting on the day of the New Moon.
“So the battle went on until July 1844 [as these Millerites sought to discover the exact day of the end of the 2,300 day prophecy and the Messiah’s physical return], when the greatest camp meeting that was ever held by Adventists [to that time], assembled in Exeter, New Hampshire. It was reported that there were three thousand in that encampment. It was held in the woods, in the open, no cloth pavilion for the camp services, but plenty of seats.
On Sunday forenoon Elder Joseph Bates was preaching, when a man came riding at full speed into the camp, placed his horse where they kept their stock, then came into the audience, and seated himself by the family of Elder John Couch, and with open Bible, in a whisper, explained to them the cause of their disappointment, and the midnight cry that was now due.
Brother Bates was using as an illustration of their course in patient waiting, his experience on nearing home on a sea voyage, after a long absence. The power of God came upon Sister Couch, as she arose, and beckoned to Brother Bates. He said, “Sister, what is it?” She replied, “What you are saying is all very good, but here is a man who has light on the midnight cry.”
“Well,” said Brother Bates, “then let him come up here on the platform, and give it to the people,” and he sat down. The minister who thus walked into the stand was S. S. Snow, who in a few sentences gave them the path of his midnight cry message. Elder James White was in that audience; I was not there, but got my light on the subject from those who were there.” Published July 21, 1844.

Note what Samuel Snow said.
“In August, [Samuel] Snow issued a new paper entitled the True Midnight Cry and in its first issue, dated August 22, 1844, set forth his case that Christ would return in the autumn of 1844. Snow focused on the celebration [of the lunar] feasts in the annual Jewish cycle as types of the saving work of Christ. He pointed out that Christ, the antitype, had fulfilled the springtime feast days at the very time of their occurrence in the Jewish calendar – Passover (crucifixion), First Fruits (ascension), and Pentecost (the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the apostles). “God is an exact timekeeper,” Snow declared. Thus, he reasoned that Christ would fulfill the work of the high priest on the Day of Atonement on the date of its occurrence in the Jewish [lunar] calendar, that is, in the autumn, on the “tenth day of the seventh month [a lunar designation for the solar month of October] (Leviticus 16:29).”6
“To establish the year in which this would take place, Snow calculated that the [Artaxerxes] decree “to restore and build Jerusalem” (Daniel 9:25) that marked the beginning of the period of 2,300 days (symbolic years) given in Daniel 8:14 would have been issued in the latter part of the year 457 B.C. The 2,300-year period thus would end in late 1844, when the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) occurred that year. That is when the “cleansing of the sanctuary,” referred to in Daniel 8:14, was to take place. With Miller and the Advent movement in general, Snow believed that “the cleansing of the sanctuary” would be accomplished by the second coming of Christ—that is how Christ as the antitype would fulfill what the high priest’s work on the Day of Atonement typified. Based on the calendar of the Karaite Jews, Snow concluded that the Day of Atonement in 1844 would fall on October 22.”7 For the entire background refer to the The Midnight Cry of 1844.
In 1844, Pastor Samuel Snow recognized that the biblical feast days symbolized the entire Plan of Salvation from beginning to end and were observed according to the lunar calendar model.
- He acknowledged that the Feast Days were rooted in a lunar calendar, not the Roman calendar used today.
- He discerned that October, the tenth month of the Roman calendar, corresponded to the Seventh Month of the biblical lunar calendar.
- He recognized Yahuah (God) as an impeccable and precise timekeeper.
Prophecies Fulfilled Consistently on a Lunar Calendar
This principle was a key consideration for William Miller in 1844 during his pivotal calculations of the 2,300-day prophecy and the anticipated return of the Messiah. Miller expressed this sentiment as follows:
“The year 1843 was, however, regarded as extending to the spring of 1844. The reason for this, briefly stated, is as follows: Anciently the year did not commence in mid-winter, as now, but at the first New Moon after the Vernal Equinox. Therefore, as the period of 2,300 days was begun in a year reckoned by the ancient method, it was considered necessary to conform to that method to its close. Hence, 1843 was counted as ending in the spring, and not in the winter.”1888 Great Controversy Between Christ and Satan, Ellen G. White, (Appendix Note 3 – Narrative of William Miller. This was omitted by Ellen White and Willie White from the 1911 version of the same book and onward. Also published in the Advent Herald, Boston, March 1850.)
October 22, 1844, Established by the Crescent New Moon
That year, the Karaite Jews began their lunar month with the sighting of the new crescent moon on October 12. This placed Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) ten days later, on October 22, 1844 (Ethanim 10), which became Miller’s final predicted Hi-tech вібратор vibrator silicone 2*8 white bomba💣 — цена 2247 грн в каталоге Вибраторы ✓ Купить товары для красоты и здоровья по доступной цене на Шафе , Украина #156667046 date for the Messiah’s return. Interestingly, this date differed from that of the Rabbinical Pharisee Jews, who followed a calculated dark conjunction New Moon and placed their Yom Kippur a whole month earlier—on September 23, 1844.
This variance raises an important question: On what basis can one determine which New Moon is the correct New Moon and start of a year and a month? Should we rely on the biblical record, the modern Jewish perspective, Ellen White’s interpretations, or must we ignore their lack air jordan 3 black cement reimagined of alignment altogether? The answer may surprise you as it is revealed shortly.
2,300 Evenings and Mornings
Building on other key markers, such as Artaxerxes’ decree and the Hebrew Day of Atonement on the tenth day of the Seventh Lunar Month, Miller and Snow believed the prophecy foretold the Messiah’s physical return on October 22, 1844. However, when the anticipated event failed to occur for the third time, those gathered at Ascension Rock experienced profound disappointment. Many had sacrificed all their earthly possessions in preparation for the Messiah’s return that night.
This historic moment, remembered as The Great Disappointment, became a defining event for the Advent movement, profoundly shaping their understanding, faith, and foundational doctrine.
Approximately 20 years later, James and Ellen White, along with Joseph Bates, founded the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Under the guidance of Ellen White’s apparent prophetic gift, this fledgling body of Bible followers continued to believe that October 22, 1844, held significance in end-time prophecy.
Reexamining Daniel 8:14
“And he said unto me, ‘Unto two thousand and three hundred evenings (H6153-ereb) and mornings (H1242-boker), then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.'”
Notice something remarkable here: the verse explicitly mentions evenings (H6153 ereb) and mornings (H1242 boker) rather than simply days (H3117 yom), as is often assumed. While Scripture frequently uses the term “days” (yom) in prophecy to represent years or even millennia, it never applies the specific and unique combination of “evenings and mornings” (ereb and boker) in the same way to refer to a-day-for-a-year in Bible prophecy.
Unlike those in the 19th century, we now have access to exceptional tools, such as multiple Hebrew dictionaries, that enable us to examine the language of Scripture in depth. With resources such as the free online program e-Sword, we can verify whether longstanding interpretations align with the original text.
Daniel’s Use of the Terms Evenings and Mornings
Daniel, guided by Yahuah, clearly understood the nuances of these terms. He used the word “day” (yom) 21 times throughout his writings. In comparison, “evening” (ereb) appears three times, “morning” (boker) twice, and the specific combination “evenings and mornings” only once, as recorded in Daniel 8:14. This deliberate choice of “evenings and mornings” suggests a distinction.
Simply put, “evenings and mornings” refer to literal nights and days, whereas “days” (H3117 yom) in a prophetic context typically refers to extended periods and cycles, such as years, Jubilees, or millennia. In a prophetic context, these terms “days” and “evenings and mornings” are not interchangeable and should not be treated as such. Accordingly, the preponderance of evidence affirms that the phrase “evenings and mornings” denotes 2,300 literal 24-hour days, a specific number of days.
Consider Daniel 8:17
Now, consider Daniel 8:17, which provides vital context for this vision:
“So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, ‘Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.'” Daniel 8:17
This reveals that the prophecy pertains to the end of time. This means that the 2,300 “evenings and mornings” were to occur from start to finish at the very end, as the last count of literal days. The fact that October 22, 1844, is now nearly 180 years in the past suggests that it could not represent the time of the end, despite the fervent belief of those living through that year and the Great Disappointment. In hindsight, we can identify errors in their interpretation, including their reliance on that specific date as significant.
Furthermore, it’s worth noting that a detailed explanation for the lunar foundation of the Day of Atonement in 1844 and every year has been notably absent, hidden if you will, from the teachings of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. This omission raises essential questions: Was this an oversight, or was it a deliberate act to withhold the whole picture from church members? Some might call this a cover-up or even deception. Refer to The Great Easter Controversy Cover-up.
Feast Days Founded on A Day-for-a-Day Basis
The Feast Days, as outlined in Scripture, have always been observed on a “day-for-a-day” basis, both historically and prophetically. At no point were they intended to symbolize extended periods of time, as some interpretations suggest today.
For example, Seventh-day Adventists today teach that the Day of Atonement, which they associate with October 22, 1844, began on that date and continues indefinitely until the Messiah’s return. This belief clashes with their simultaneous assertion that the Torah Law, including its lunar calendar and all the Feast Days, ended at the cross. Do you see the inconsistency?
- On one hand, they assert that October 22, 1844, marks the start of a prophetic period tied to the lunar Feast Day of Atonement, spanning over 180 years and counting.
- On the other hand, they claim that the lunar calendar and Feast Days, as found in the Torah Law, ceased to be relevant after the crucifixion.
This contradiction raises an important question: How can a foundational lunar-based doctrine be based on something they simultaneously declare to be obsolete?
The Biblical Teaching on Feast Days
Through the wilderness Sanctuary, and later through the Temple in Yarushalom (Jerusalem), every sacred ceremonial event was meticulously date-stamped according to the count from the New Moon Day (Chodesh – Strong’s H#2320). This was not incidental but divinely imperative, for it formed the heavenly blueprint designed to restore first to the Hebrews, and ultimately to all nations, the mechanism by which the Creator mapped the order, purpose, and profound virtue of each sacred lunar Feast Day. Each event, precisely appointed in the Sanctuary and revealed by the sacrifice schedule, prophetically illustrates the unfolding Plan of Salvation, setting forth the redemptive work of the Messiah, both during His earthly ministry and His continuing mediatorial service in the courts of heaven above till He returns (Mark 14:58).
Each lunar-appointed date was deliberately punctuated to highlight and honor the specific milestones along the Messiah’s redemptive pathway. These are signposts established for the salvation of every soul who would respond in faith. These time-centered events were not only historical markers but also serve as living memorials—prophetic rehearsals—for the faithful and obedient, who celebrate and worship Yahuah, the Most High, in real-time each year, past, present, and future ir jordan 3 whataburger custom.
The cadence of these sacred events is likened to a wedding dance—one in which both the Bridegroom and His betrothed bride joyfully participate. It is both time-centered and a sign of their covenant bond. Within this divine rhythm is a song of love, rescue, restoration, and victory. As the bride diligently seeks to align her soul temple with the beat of the Messiah’s prophetic appointments, she finds herself in harmony with His heart, preparing for the final consummation of the wedding feast yet to come. The Menorah, The Gold Standard of Our Creator’s Eternal Timepiece.
Scripture teaches that each Feast Day (mo’edim – H#4150), as a rehearsal assembly event (miqra – H#4744), was designated on a specific lunar date and intended to last only as long as that date or dates specified. Whether a one-day observance or a week-long event, each Feast Day was to be fulfilled at its specific lunar appointed time.
Take, for example, the three days and three nights of Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, an eight-day sequence highlighted by specific events that the Messiah fulfilled:
- Passover (14th day): Fulfilled by the Messiah’s death on the cross.
- Unleavened Bread (15th day): A Sabbath rest as He lay in the tomb.
- Wave Sheaf (16th day): The Messiah rose at the end of the night following the 16th day, fulfilling three days and three nights. Refer to Three Days and Three Nights.
As outlined in Scripture, each of these was fulfilled precisely, on a “day-for-a-day” basis.
Feast Days and the Second Coming
Between the spring Feast Days fulfilled at the Messiah’s first coming and the fall Feast Days representing His second coming, there is a divinely appointed interval. These Feast Days were never intended to morph into ongoing or indefinite periods. Instead, they remain as specific, lunar-appointed dates to be observed faithfully each year as rehearsals of what is yet to come.
Nevertheless, Seventh-day Adventists continue to declare October 22, 1844, as the commencement of what they identify as the Antitypical Day of Atonement, or the Investigative Judgment. This time period has now extended over 180 years. This interpretation diverges from the date-specific nature of each Feast Day as detailed in Leviticus 23 and Numbers 28–29, where each appointed time for the Messiah’s first coming and second coming is marked with precision and prophetic intent.
It was the Messiah who declared:
“Think not that I am come to destroy the law (Torah) or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law (Torah), till all be fulfilled.” Matthew 5:17-18
The Creator’s Restoration of His Calendar
Few today seem to recognize that the Creator’s lunar Calendar was restored to Israel just fourteen nights before the first Passover and fifteen nights before leaving Egypt on the 15th of Abib by night, the night following the daylight of the Sabbath. (Deut. 16:1 and Numbers 33:2-4.)
Consider what may have occurred had ancient Israel chosen to ignore Yahuah’s 180-degree calendar restoration, given to the people through Moses and Aaron on the night of the full moon in spring so long ago (Exodus 12:1-3).
Often overlooked is that the first test for the Children of Israel was not Passover but time itself. If Israel had refused to accept and restore the first full moon in spring as the original New Moon and relinquish the dark conjunction lunar phase utilized by the Egyptians, they would have been off by half a month for Passover and would have, no doubt, lost all their firstborn sons, along with the Egyptians. Absolutely no one who refused to synchronize their life to that of the correct New Moon of the Creator’s Calendar ever made it to the Promised Land.
“And declared Yahuah unto Moses and unto Aaron, in the land of Egypt, commanding that: The New//Renewed Moon, this self-same one, is the beginning (Rosh) of lunar months; it is the first lunar month of the year (HaShanah). You shall keep and teach this to all the congregation of Israel saying, “In the tenth of the lunar month, do the following: And you shall reserve and keep every man a lamb for each household of the father, a lamb for each house.” Exodus 12:1-3
“And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same lunar month…” Exodus 12:6 (View the Hebrew Word Study evidence here.)
The principles remain the same today for those who seek restoration to the Father and entrance into the eternal home, the final Promised Land.
The first test for determining the start of the year (Rosh Hashanah) and its authentically ordained full New Moon was and remains the only route to finding the actual Passover date counted fourteen days later. This requires recognizing that the Creator’s Calendar has always been lunar, and second, that the full moon has always been the Creator’s first day of the year, Rosh Hashanah, as well as the beginning of each lunar month thereafter.
By getting this wrong, all New Moon Days, seventh-day Sabbaths, and lunar appointed Feast days will be off. Could it be that this very misalignment in timekeeping is at the heart of the allegory that rendered the five foolish virgins unprepared for the Bridegroom’s return? Their entire sequence of sacred time was miscalculated, and tragically, many had failed even to seek alignment with the prophetic Feast Days—the very pattern divinely appointed to signal His coming. They had wholly disregarded the sacred lunar calendar, the foundation of the Sanctuary and later Temple, its sacrifice schedule, and full New Moon Days.
Lunar Sacrifice Rhythm – Paradigm Shift
It is one thing to grasp the symbolic meaning of each element within the Tabernacle, such as the furnishings. It is still quite another to perceive its full significance as it operates with specific sacrifices in living sequence—daily, weekly, monthly, and annually—according to the Creator’s ordained rhythm.
Many of us believed the seven annual Feast Days were made up of the following seven in this order, and with no recognition that each Feast Day was linked to a specific lunar phase and sacrifice:
Passover
Unleavened Bread
Wave Sheaf
Feast of Weeks/Pentecost
Trumpets
Day of Atonement
Feast of Tabernacles
Upon further study, we have discovered the Feast Day layout is somewhat different, as each is tied to specific sacrifices and preordained lunar phases.
The Master Key of Time
The detailed sacrificial prescriptions recorded in Leviticus 23 and Numbers 28–29 function as what might be termed our Creator’s Rules of Engagement. In this light, the sacrificial calendar with its Menorah lunar ties is established as the MASTER KEY of TIME and PROPHECY. As the Master Key, it unlocks both the measure of sacred time and the unfolding of prophecy by revealing the precise pattern of years, months, weeks, and days within the lunar‑appointed system upon which the Plan of Salvation is fulfilled step-by-step.
In the Sacrifice schedule below, note that every single day of the year, there was the daily sacrifice of two lambs – one in the morning and one in the evening. On Sabbath, two male lambs were sacrificed, plus the morning and evening sacrifices. Then, on the New Moon Day, there were two bulls, one ram, seven lambs, and one goat sacrificed, plus the morning and evening sacrifice.
The lunar phases, together with the sacrifice schedule, correspond as a GPS to ensure the synchronization of worship on earth with the heavenly courts above. As long as these rules are adhered to, the Creator’s correct holy days can be found and celebrated in accordance with His unique and ordained worship rhythm. Any variance, large or small, will never harmonize those seeking faithfulness to their Messiah and Eternal Father.
Certain Feast Days, once obscured or altered through time, are now being graciously restored according to Yahuah’s sovereign will and perfect timing, after nearly 2,000 years of concealment. This restoration mirrors the sacred pattern seen in Exodus 12:1–3, when the Creator reestablished His calendar to guide Moses and the Israelites prior to their departure from Egypt and entry into the Promised Land. In like manner, this same divine restoration is unfolding today for the faithful, preparing them to enter the eternal Kingdom that awaits.
Feast Day Arrangement Explanation
The Menorah, the Gold Standard of Time, together with the Sacrifice Schedule, establishes all the lunar appointed Feast Days to occur on either a full moon or a dark moon, except the final Feast Day of Yom Shemini (the Eighth Day).
- Rosh HaShanah – Today, the Jews erringly celebrate Rosh HaShanah in the fall. Here, you will find it has been restored to the spring as the start of the Festival year, just as it was 15 days before the Exodus on the full New/Renewed Moon Day. Exodus 12:1-3
- Passover – Passover is counted fourteen days from the full New/Renewed Moon of Rosh Hashanah in the spring. The three days and three nights that include Passover, Unleavened Bread (first of seven days of Unleavened Bread), and the Wave Sheaf Offering are all part of the same spring Festival marked by the dark lunar phase and often called the Passover week.
- Feast of Weeks – The original Hebrew Scriptures provide the hard evidence for placing the Feast of Weeks on the first day of the fifth lunar month, not according to a 50-day count as we were all taught. Hebrew Word Study Evidence Link
- Day of Atonement – The Day of Atonement can only occur on one day of the year to fit the Menorah’s designated dark moon on the 15th day of the sixth lunar month. This accurately provides the required two weeks, the space of half an hour (Rev. 8:1) between the Day of Atonement and the Feast of Trumpets, the preordained day of the Second Coming. This reality makes it impossible for the Day of Atonement to occur on the 10th day, a mid-week designation in the seventh month (10 days after the Feast of Trumpets and Second Coming). The 10th day of the seventh month, for the Day of Atonement in Leviticus and Numbers, is now attributed to the lying pens of scribes (Jeremiah 8:8). Refer to the article, The Lying Pen of Scribes. In John 11:9, the Messiah defines that a day is twelve hours in length, which does not include the night. When applied to prophetic time, we get the following model that applies to the two-week distance between the Day of Atonement and the Feast of Trumpets, ensuring that the Day of Atonement falls on the 15th day of the sixth lunar month, two weeks before the Second Coming on the Feast of Trumpets:
- Feast of Trumpets – The Feast of Trumpets announces both the Messiah’s First Coming at His birth and the Messiah’s Second Coming at His Return in real time on the day of this seventh full moon. It shall be joyfully celebrated as a rehearsal each lunar year until that greatest of anticipated events is finally fulfilled, at the end of the 6,000 years.
- Feast of Tabernacles – The Feast of Tabernacles, commencing on the 15th day of the Seventh Lunar Month, represents the 1,000-year sojourn in heaven, our temporary dwelling before the Earth is made new, where we will ultimately dwell forever in the final Promised Land.
- Yom Shemini – The Feast of Yom Shemini, the Last Great Day, occurs on the day following the seven-day Feast of Tabernacles, which places it on the seventh-day Sabbath of the 22nd. It represents Eternity on the Earth made new when the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, comes down out of heaven as a bride prepared for her husband, where the saved shall live in perfect peace. (Revelation 21:2.)
Three Kinds of Days
The sacrificial schedule above, as color-coded, is of profound significance. It illustrates a distinction between these three kinds of days. It ties the sacrificial system to the Creator’s calendar, as manifest by lunar phases in the heavens. As long as this dual system was utilized to harmonize each sacrifice with its unique lunar phase, the correct lunar calendar model was followed without error or alteration.
This system of identifying each day and lunar phase with its own unique set of sacrifices ensures that the Creator’s original and authentic Calendar would never make an error by mixing a New Moon Day with a work day, a Sabbath, and vice versa. The Tabernacle’s Sacrificial system was ordained to number all days of the lunar year and highlight each of the three kinds of days at their divinely appointed placement, as manifest to ensure Yasharal (Israel) understood the unalterable position of each, either for work, rest, or worship. This pattern was strictly upheld and guarded by the priesthood during Israel’s periods of faithfulness, ensuring that the Temple ceremonies were aligned with the very throne room of heaven itself.
To our surprise, each authentic seventh-day Sabbath is synchronized with its count from the New Moon Day, fixing it to the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th day of each lunar month consistently every year.
The inseparable bond between lunar timekeeping and each day of the month and year permeates every facet of sanctuary worship—from its daily morning and evening sacrificial system to the prophetic unfolding of the Messiah’s redemptive ministry.
While we were all taught that there are only two kinds of days, workdays and seventh-day Sabbaths, this remains true, but only for four weeks each lunar month, when the Sabbaths occur on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th. According to the Master Key of Time, the placement of the New Moon Day disrupts this cycle each lunar month.
Only One Kind of Month in Scripture
Whenever you encounter the term month in Scripture, particularly in Leviticus 23, it refers to a lunar month, which begins with the New Moon Day. The lunar calendar of Yahuah’s design underpins these sacred events. For a deeper dive, consider reading the article 349 New Moon Occurrences in Scripture.
Feast Day Memorials and Rehearsals
The Feast Days that have already been fulfilled are intended to be celebrated annually as memorials by YHUH’s (Yahuah’s) faithful and obedient followers, according to the lunar calendar, until the plan is accomplished, and even beyond. Meanwhile, the unfulfilled lunar-appointed Feast Days are to be celebrated as rehearsals by faith, anticipating their eventual fulfillment, yet to come on a day-for-a-day basis.
Celebrating for Eternity
Far from ending at the Messiah’s return, these sacred Feast Days will be joyfully celebrated throughout eternity by the redeemed of the earth. These Feast Days embody the Savior’s boundless love manifested in His sacrifice to save humanity. These time-specific events serve as a pathway under the Messiah’s transformative power, by which sinners are reconciled to the Eternal Father. From the beginning, they represent the Father and Son’s enduring promise of salvation, offering hope to a humanity that would otherwise be hopeless. Together, these forge an eternal bond between the saved sinner and their Savior, uniting them forever in the deepest love and gratitude.
The Remedy and Restoration for Humanity
Participation in these sacred lunar Feast Days allows trusting followers to synchronize their lives with the Savior’s redemptive work as they celebrate His plan for humanity’s restoration.
Through this active participation, believers embrace the remedy and restoration long promised and now provided by the Creator. In this way, and by this method, they actually “follow the Lamb whithersoever He leads.” These ordained Feast Days are the ordained method by which humanity receives the covering of the Messiah’s spilled blood on Passover, His divine “Seal of Protection.”
The Consequences of Disregard
Disregarding or replacing these sacred lunar appointed Feast Days is to reject the ordained pathway of Salvation established by Yahuah Alahim, the Most High, in the Torah Law. Such an act undermines the sacredness of these appointed times, reflecting humanity’s arrogance in attempting to devise its own way to salvation. This is not merely an error but an act of rebellion, seeking to achieve eternal life through means other than the Creator’s preordained plan.
A Call to Faithfulness
The lunar-appointed Feast Days are not just historical or symbolic; they are central to the Creator’s plan to reconcile and restore humanity. By honoring these at their sacred lunar appointed time, we align our soul temples with His, demonstrating our faith and obedience to the Bridal Covenant. This is the pathway to authentic restoration—a journey grounded in love, faithfulness, and gratitude for the Savior’s ultimate sacrifice. Refer to Mo’edim, the Missing Key Puzzle Piece.
Antidote for the Mark of the Beast
Did you know that the antidote to receiving the Mark of the Beast is inseparably linked to the remedy for sin? Both are fulfilled through the sacrificial death of our Messiah on Passover when He willingly laid down His life for you and me. When we accept Him as our Redeemer and commit to faithfully following Him, including obedience to His Torah Laws and observance of His sacred and set-apart Feast Days at their original appointed times, we are then covered by His blood on Passover and sealed on the Day of Atonement. No other path will provide the covering of the robes of Righteousness or His shed blood. What might this reveal about the tradition of observing Communion every thirteenth Saturday? What does this say about Saturday as the Sabbath being the antidote to the Mark of the Beast? I think you see the point.
When Sincerity Fails
The story is told of a little girl who went to a petting zoo with her family. Once inside, she became terrified of being knocked down and trampled by the many larger than life animals scurrying around. Her mother, occupied with a younger sibling, was unable to attend to her and her growing fears.
After closing her eyes tightly, she reached out with both arms for the security of her mother’s familiar nubby woolen skirt. At that very moment, a woolly llama intercepted her embrace. In apparent safety, she buried her face in the wool and held firmly for dear life, believing all this would shortly pass as she would soon be on the other side of the protection of the gate.
After some time of moving about the pen, she opened her eyes just enough to peer out. To her dismay, her mother and siblings were on the far side of the petting zoo. In abject horror, she released her grip!
All the time her eyes were closed, she had believed with all sincerity that she was holding onto the protection of her mother’s skirt, only to discover she had been mistakenly clinging to the very beast she feared.
Being sincere in one’s beliefs is simply not enough. For when our eyes are opened, some will discover only too late that they had been erroneously clinging to the very Beast Power they feared, as described in Revelation 13:16-17.
The Sabbath and the Feast Days: Their Distinct Roles
Did you know that the seventh-day Sabbath preexisted the fall in Eden and even the creation of the earth itself? As the fourth commandment, it has existed with the Father since the beginning. It remains part of His righteous standard, set apart for worship and unity among His faithful followers throughout the universe. However, while the Sabbath is foundational for honoring the Creator, it was not ordained as the specific instrument of redemption for fallen humanity as some teach today. That role belongs to the lunar appointed Feast Days and specifically Passover, fulfilled by the anointed Messiah alone.
The Feast Days were carefully designed and implemented as the framework for the Plan of Salvation, providing the path by which the Messiah would rescue and restore humanity to the Father’s righteous standard as outlined in His Ten Commandments.
Prophecies Fulfilled, Promises Yet to Come
Each Feast Day was prophetically placed on specific dates of the lunar calendar, pointing to events only the Messiah could fulfill. During the week He laid down His life for humanity, He perfectly fulfilled each of the spring Feast Day events in alignment with their prophetic timing.
This flawless fulfillment of the spring Feast Days stands as a powerful witness to the accuracy and divine intent of these sacred lunar appointed times. It also assures us that the fall Feast Days, which remain unfulfilled, will be accomplished with the same precision at His second coming.
By understanding and embracing the significance of these lunar-appointed Feast Days, we align ourselves with the Messiah’s work of redemption, as a Bride in waiting, standing firm in His truths as protection against the enemy’s deception and his Mark. Refer to the article, The Mark of the Beast and the Seal of Yahuah.
The Original New Moon Taken Hostage
William Miller and Samuel Snow’s predictions regarding the Messiah’s return in 1844, while sincere, were not only incorrect but also based on inaccurate interpretations of the modern Jewish lunar calendar and their conflicting New Moons. Neither the dark conjunction nor the first visible crescent practices traditionally associated with the Jewish New Moon align with the criteria outlined in Genesis 1:16 or other Scriptural passages defining the true beginning of lunar months. For a deeper exploration, refer to The Treasury of Evidence, the Full Moon Announces Lunar Months.
The New Moon Signal Misappropriated
Over time, the Creator’s signal for marking the start of years and months has been distorted, influenced by ancient Babylonian practices, and later adopted by the Jews when in Roman captivity. Yet, Scripture is clear: the lesser light (the moon) was appointed to rule the night together with the stars, from east to west, throughout the night when the sun is absent.
Remarkably, the full moon is the only lunar phase that fulfills this role. It rises in the east, rules the night alongside visible stars, and sets in the west, seamlessly transitioning into day by greeting the sun at sunrise. This harmony with the Scriptural criteria underscores its authenticity as the original signal for the start of lunar months.
It may surprise many, but the full moon emerges as the original and authentic marker for the start of years and months, from which all days are counted. From Genesis to Revelation, it consistently meets every Scriptural criterion with 100% accuracy. For further insight, refer to “Uncovered: Lunar Secrets from Ancient Babylon.”
Implications for 1844
If the Most High had intended for the autumn of 1844 to mark the prophetic fulfillment of the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) and the conclusion of the “2,300 evenings and mornings” prophecy, as William Miller declared, this event would have needed to align with the biblical full moon calendar. So, based on this synchronization, the authentic Day of Atonement for 1844 would have occurred on October 7 of that year and not October 22.
Understanding these Scriptural time markers invites a reexamination of longstanding traditions, encouraging deeper study and an alignment with the Creator’s ordained methods alone.
The Lunar Foundation for the Day of Atonement
The date October 22, 1844, honored by Seventh-day Adventists, poses a critical dilemma when analyzed through the lens of the ancient biblical lunar calendar. Like all Scriptural holy days, the Day of Atonement is firmly anchored in the lunar calendar and particularly counted from the full moon as the starting point of months. Scripture indicates that both the seventh-day Sabbaths and all the annual Feast Days are synchronized to the lunar cycle.
This creates an inherent conflict with the “Saturday Sabbath” doctrine, which is derived from the Roman solar calendar and operates independently of the biblical lunar cycles.
Attempting to reconcile these systems is akin to mixing oil and water; they simply cannot be harmonized. Might this be a significant reason why most of Christendom pays little or no attention to the lunar calendar or its Feast Days?
A Consistent Lunar Pattern
All biblical holy days, including weekly and annual observances, are integrated into the same Creator’s time-measuring system of lunar years and months. This system, established by YHUH (Yahuah), a singular master mind who created the heavens and the earth, contrasts sharply with the Roman continuous weekly cycle. The Roman calendar, divorced from the lunar phases, represents a man-made construct with no ties to the sun, moon, or stars, as it cycles willy-nilly throughout the years and months.
“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.”
Encyclopedia Britannica, The Julian Calendar, Paragraph 1.
https://www.britannica.com/science/calendar/The-Western-calendar-and-calendar-reforms
Genesis 1:14 establishes the divine framework:
“Then Alahim said, ‘Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and
seasons(Hebrew #4150 – מועדים – mo’edim = lunar appointed time), and for days and years.’” Genesis 1:14 (Refer to the article The Missing Puzzle Piece of Time.)
This Scriptural mandate highlights the use of celestial bodies as markers of time. The Roman calendar’s deviation from this system, removing the moon from time, ultimately divorced the year, month, and week from all ties to the Creator’s celestial clock.
This underscores a significant departure from the ordained biblical lunar principles of time. This new Roman solar time-measuring system was imposed upon the Jews in the fourth century A.D. and has never been restored to alignment with the Creator’s Master Key of Time to this day. All who remain under the rule of this Roman replacement calendar model remain captives under the authority of the Beast of Revelation. Who knew?
The Four Rules of Postponement
During their period in Roman captivity (A.D. 70 and onward), the Jewish community faced the profound challenge of reconciling their newly adopted lunar calendar, now anchored to the dark conjunction New Moon, with the dominant Roman solar planetary continuous weekly cycle and its “Saturday as the seventh day.”
To navigate this conundrum, the Four Rules of Postponement were crafted to strategically delay the appointed Feast Days from falling on their new Sabbath. While this accommodation preserved a quasi-alignment between the Feast Days and the Roman Saturday Sabbath, it marked a significant departure from the Most High’s original calendar model.
This compromise disrupted sacred timekeeping on two critical levels: first, by replacing the full New/Renewed Moon with the invisible dark lunar phase; and second, by replacing the authentic lunar Sabbath with a man-made continuous weekly cycle devoid of lunar synchronization.
The result was a dismantling of the prophetic rhythm embedded in the Torah’s Feast Days—divinely designed to illuminate the pathway of redemption through Yahusha the Messiah. Now, it separated the once faithful Jews far from their original oracles of truth, which they had once been chosen to guard and protect.
Unlike the calendar restoration fifteen days before the exodus from Egypt, when the Creator reestablished His calendar among the Children of Israel, neither the Rabbinical nor the Karaite communities have since returned to the Creator’s original lunar calendar model. Tragically, this ongoing deviation obscures the time-centric blueprint of the Plan of Salvation and severs the would-be faithful from the appointed rhythm through which the Most High reveals His covenant promises. As such, the restoration of sacred time is not merely a historical correction—it is a prophetic necessity for those seeking to walk in step with the Lamb and prepare for His soon return.
Thus, it becomes evident that both the Beast power and the Creator possess distinct calendars, and every individual must ultimately choose which one to follow, for the calendar one observes reveals whose authority they acknowledge and serve.
A Persistent Paradox
Seventh-day Adventists follow in the footsteps of both the Rabbinical and Karaite Jews in keeping a Saturday Sabbath, and the Karaite Jews by honoring October 22, 1844, as the Day of Atonement that year. However, this creates the same unresolved paradox it did for the Jews.
- On one hand, the Adventist view of October 22, 1844, remains tied to the 10th day of the seventh lunar month per Leviticus 23:26-32. On the other hand, they utilize the Saturday Sabbaths of the Roman crafted solar calendar. The problem is that these two systems, the lunar and the solar, can never be harmonized.
-
The Roman calendar’s continuous weekly cycle, divorced from the moon, causes Saturdays to occasionally coincide with the fixed lunar Feast Days, including the Passover and the Day of Atonement, creating biblical calendar conflicts.
Despite the lunar Day of Atonement’s historical and theological significance, this Seventh-day Adventist practice inadvertently highlights the inconsistency they continue to embrace. They remain caught between two opposing time cycles that cannot be harmonized. Strikingly, they don’t even recognize their conundrum. At least the Jews in Roman captivity recognized the paradox and created the Four Rules of Postponement as an interface to bring a quasi-order out of chaos.
The Karaite Jews’ Stunning Admission
These pragmatically honest Karaite Jews deserve accolades for the following admission:
“Through all the trials and tribulations that humanity has experienced over the past 5,000 years, we have no proof whatsoever that our current Saturday is the actual seven-day ‘anniversary’ of the original Shabbath of Creation.”
https://www.karaiteinsights.com/article/shabbat.html
NEWS FLASH!!! It is profoundly noteworthy that the Karaite Jews—whose calendrical reckoning served as the foundation for the Millerite movement and subsequently the Seventh-day Adventist Church’s observance of the Day of Atonement on October 22, 1844, as well as their continued observance of the Saturday Sabbath—have openly acknowledged: “We have no proof whatsoever that Saturday is the actual seventh-day anniversary of the original Sabbath of Creation.” This declaration should prompt sincere reflection and careful re-evaluation. Such an admission signals the need for earnest investigation and renewed openness to the possibility that the true Sabbath of Scripture may differ from the Seventh-day Adventist long-standing assumptions.
Karaite means adhering to the Bible only (Sola Scriptura) and not to the Talmud and the Babylonian oral traditions or Kabbalah. In the same way that the Protestant churches pride themselves on protesting and coming out of Catholicism, the Karaites pride themselves on coming out of Rabbinical Pharisaism, the Talmud, and all the oral traditions of Mystic Babylon. Yet, just as we have discovered that most of Protestantism has not yet fully come all the way out of Roman Catholicism and its pagan traditions, including solar time, neither have the Karaites regained all the lost truths from the past 2,000 years. These would specifically include the Master Key of Time, with its Full New Moon Days, lunar seventh-day Sabbaths, and the timing of its specific lunar appointed Feast dates.
A Call to Reexamine
It is sobering to recognize that Scripture contains no evidence supporting the Roman solar calendar, its continuous weekly cycle, a “Saturday” Sabbath, or a Day of Atonement that lasts 180 years and counting, either by name or rhythm. This realization invites believers to reexamine long-held doctrines and return to the Creator’s ordained calendar, His path and blueprint that alone reveals His plan for salvation. How is this different from sincere Catholics or Mormons, to name a few, who hold to teachings that have long been recognized as outside the pail of biblical truth?
Conclusion
The revelations of 1844, carefully chronicled by devoted seekers of truth such as Samuel Snow and William Miller, unveiled significant insights into the Creator’s precise calendar system. Their pursuit, though culminating in what is famously known as the Great Disappointment, highlights a profound narrative: the interconnectedness of prophecy through divine lunar Feast Day appointments and sacrifices.
This exploration reveals that October 22, 1844, a date central to Adventist theology, was initially grounded in the lunar calendar’s cycles and the biblical Day of Atonement. Yet, it also exposes the long-overlooked implications of this truth, which beckon a reevaluation of the assumptions about the modern Roman solar calendar, the Jewish alternate New Moons, and their Saturday Sabbaths.
Is it possible that the keys to the Creator’s divine schedule have been obscured by centuries of tradition and misinterpretation? Could the intricate harmony of lunar-appointed times still hold profound relevance for those who seek to honor Him “in spirit and truth”?
Dear reader, the path forward requires courage and humility, a willingness to sift through cherished beliefs, weigh them against Scripture as did the faithful Bereans, and align with the light that shines from its pages. These truths invite us not to dismiss the past but to build upon it, guided by the same divine precision that orders the sun, moon, and stars.
The evidence presented here is not merely a call to intellectual assent or paradigm shift, but an invitation to deepen your walk with the Creator and His beloved Son, our Messiah and Savior. For those who heed the call, the reward is more than just understanding; it is also the unparalleled joy of synchronizing one’s life with the dance of the Bride and Bridegroom in the eternal rhythm of Yahuah’s perfect cadence, His worship rhythm, and His Plan of Salvation.
May this journey of rediscovery lead you ever closer to the truth as it is in Scripture, for His appointed times are not relics of history but living signposts on the road to redemption. The Bridegroom invites His faithful to dance with Him now in preparation for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. HalleluYah!!!

The New Moon and October 22, 1844
A Word to the Little Flock
In days of yore, a cry was heard,
A herald of hope, from holy word.
William Miller stood bold and true,
Proclaiming prophecies ancient and new.
October’s date, the twenty-two,
A fateful time, the saints held true.
With eyes uplifted, hearts ablaze,
They sought the end of Earth’s dark maze.
Yet the day came, the skies were still,
The Messiah’s return was not His will.
A Disappointment, great and vast,
Shaped a movement that should last.
But what of the time, the sacred sign?
Was it measured by Yah’s design?
The crescent moon or shadowed phase,
Could not fulfill His ancient ways.
For Scripture speaks of a brilliant light,
The full moon ruled the silent night.
From east to west, with stars, it reigns,
A beacon clear, its truth remains.
The tenth day of the seventh lunation,
Was counted this way since creation.
Not bound by Rome’s calendar creed,
But by the rhythm, the heavens heed.
Atonement’s call, so wrongly timed,
October’s claim was misaligned.
For Yahuah’s time is not our own,
His timing carved with the lunar stone.
The Feasts were marked, each date decreed,
On Messiah’s path to meet our need.
Day by day, they foretell His plan,
The remedy for wayward man.
Passover’s cross, the tomb’s repose,
But three days later, He arose.
Each Feast fulfilled with perfect care,
On lunar time beyond compare.
Yet doctrines formed, traditions swayed,
And Torah’s truths were cast away.
A paradox within the creed,
To follow truth or with church concede.
October’s day, a lunar date,
Yet Saturday doesn’t correlate.
How can the truth of moon and sun,
Align with doctrines man has spun?
Day of Atonement, our lives to weigh,
Speaks not of years but a single day.
Its shadow points to a day to come,
When sins are cleansed and justice done.
O Saturday flock, arise, awake!
The ancient paths you must retake.
The full moon’s light, the sacred sign,
Reveals the truth of Yah’s design.
For feasts endure, their purpose clear,
To guide the faithful, year by year.
Until the final trumpet sounds,
And heaven’s joy eternal abounds.
Reject the fraud, the cunning snare,
Return to Yahuah’s loving care.
The moon, the stars, the sun’s embrace,
Declare His TIME, His saving grace.
So let the rhythms of heaven’s span,
Shape the walk of every man.
The Lamb leads on, His truth prevails,
In lunar light, His love unveils.
