Scripture You Must Ignore to Reject the Lunar Sabbath

By Kerrie L. French

Introduction

Welcome, seekers of truth! In the spirit of open-minded exploration, this article aims to unveil the Scriptures You Must Ignore to Reject the Lunar Sabbath and historical narratives that may have been overlooked in discussing the sacred calendar and its seventh-day Sabbath. As we embark on this journey together, you are invited to consider the possibility that beneath the layers of Jewish traditions and Roman customs lie hidden gems and ancient truths waiting to be rediscovered.

Throughout the centuries, every church organization and synagogue testified to many truths, yet stunningly, there is a plethora of Scripture verses and historical quotes, relics of ancient paths, which have been traditionally ignored and/or hidden under the rubble of Jewish fables, Roman law, and Christian traditions (Titus 1:14). It is time to gently brush away the dust and let the renewed rays of light guide us through the darkness, illuminating the pragmatic sacred concepts that may have been lost or forbidden for the past 1,700 years. As we awaken, let us heed the call, for “The times of the Gentiles” are now fulfilled (Luke 21:24)!

Many may wonder, “Why does it truly matter which calendar and, by extension, which days I keep holy and sacred?” Indeed, a valid question. Yet, what if the calendar we follow holds the key to addressing both sin and the prophesied Mark of the Beast in the end times? Could this not be a subject of utmost relevance and necessity? We believe it is.

A profound revelation awaits those who discover that the same calendar, ordained “in the beginning” with our first parents, aligns with the time-centric redemptive work of the Messiah, guiding us from the dawn of Salvation to its eventual culmination. This two-part remedy, comprising sacred TIMES & EVENTS, unfolds the intricate details of the Messiah’s seven-part PLAN OF SALVATION—a divine roadmap leading us towards the Most High (H#3068 – יהוה – YHUH – Yahuah) as we follow the Lamb through His yearly Feast Days.

Evidence suggests that this timeless remedy has been faithfully utilized by figures such as Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Jeremiah, Hosea, Daniel, and the Messiah’s disciples. Despite the derailment that ensued during “the times of the Gentiles,” these sacred TIMES & EVENTS are destined to be restored among those seeking an eternal home at the end of time. Join us on this journey of rediscovery as we navigate the profound wisdom concealed within the folds of time, history, and sacred events.

There’s No Debate

No one is debating that Saturday is the seventh day of the modern Roman Gregorian calendar because it is. The elephant in the room is the discovery that the entire Roman Julian/Gregorian calendar itself is THE FRAUD, a solar counterfeit replacement of the Creator’s original. Who would have suspected that our modern calendar is a man-made substitute time-measuring system, which ALL THE WORLD was taught to follow since the fourth century A.D.? It was proactively crafted by Julius Caesar and perfected over time by Emperor Constantine and, finally, Pope Gregory.  But many are not aware that it was specifically designed to stand defiantly in rebellion to the Creator, His Torah Law, His sacred New Moon Days, authentic lunar Sabbaths, and lunar appointed Feast Days. 

Any presumed sacred day on a continuous weekly cycle wholly divorced from our Creator’s lunar standard for years, months, weeks, and days will only occasionally occur on the authentic seventh-day Sabbath of our Creator and Savior. So, by extension, Saturday is Sunday’s twin sister, and both days are fraudulent worship days. Neither of these has ever been the true Sabbath of our Creator, except occasionally when they float through and coincide with the Lunar Sabbath. Refer to the article, No Debate… Saturday is the Seventh Day of the Roman Calendar.

The Unbreakable Bond 

The reality is that there is an unbreakable bond between our MESSIAH and His sacred TIMES & EVENTS unto salvation.” Not just any day on any time-measuring device will produce the PREEMINENT LAYOUT of His ordained mechanism to save you and me. Scripture tells us that “ALL THE WORLD” has followed after the Beast. His call goes out to all the world to “COME OUT OF BABYLON” and all the false teachings that contain a mixture of truth and error. We are invited to celebrate each EVENT unto Salvation as it illustrates our love and obedience to our Creator and Messiah and our appreciation for all they have done and are doing to restore mankind back to the Eternal Father’s standard of righteousness. As the image below illustrates, harmony is constant from beginning to end from the Torah Law of the Old Testament to the end of the Brit Hadasha in the New Testament.

What this means is that no one has been given permission to cut and splice Scripture to their liking, ignoring specific verses or whole portions that don’t fit their Jewish or Christian paradigms today.

Strikingly, both the Rabbinical Jews and Karaites have fully disregarded the New Testament that reveals the anointed Messiah. On the other hand, all the Christian church denominations have in part or wholly eliminated the binding claims of the Torah Law of the Old Testament with its Temple ceremonies synchronized to His sacred lunar calendar, replacing them with Roman holidays of their own making. This was accomplished under the umbrella view that “We are no longer under the Torah Law but under grace,” or “The Torah Law was nailed to the cross.”

Might the replacement of the sacred lunar calendar and the sacred names be a pivotal reason for so many various and divergent doctrinal beliefs among those who claim to be followers of the Messiah and His Word? All the while, this image above does not lie. It illustrates cohesive unity between the forty authors over a period of 1,500 years as they were moved by the Ruach (H#7307 – רוח – power, presence, and promise of Yahuah) (2 Peter 1:21).  

The foundation of every Scriptural truth restored is both harmonious and born of love. My prayer is that your heart will be softened to consider the evidence contained herein that will shine a spotlight upon the REMEDY for the ancient paths of the Creator’s lunar calendar. 

Along your journey, you may discover the time-centric purpose of the three-part PATHWAY UNTO SALVATION is only made possible by the 1) LAMB (Messiah), 2) LUNAR TIME, and 3) EACH APPOINTED FEAST-DAY EVENT. You are invited to enter in at the East Gate to honor the work of the Messiah by celebrating these appointments with Him.

Reasons So Many Reject New Light and Ignore the Truth

It is important to recognize that there are various reasons that perceptually good and honest people choose to ignore what is often later demonstrated to be the truth.  We are only human, after all. Right?  Yes, but that is the very reason we have a Messiah to break down our walls and provide courage and a way of escaping our pitfalls. 

• Sometimes, people don’t desire to hear the truth because they don’t want their well-groomed paradigms or illusions challenged.
• Any new light of truth requires change, and change can be scary.

• Truth is like a mirror and can be painful because it reflects and reveals what is out of place with our beliefs and demonstrates where we’ve been WRONG.
• Changing one’s fundamental beliefs about anything sacred can affect one’s worship affiliation, relationships with family and friends, employment, work, and school schedules.
• As displayed in this image, most would prefer a REASSURING LIE over AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH. However, the lie has to be plausible, rationalized, and fit within a popular and well-accepted model.
• But such a choice reveals a deficiency of the Ruach haKadosh, the Spirit of YHUH’s (Yahuah’s) power, presence, and promise, as the preeminent guide in one’s life. For some, it will be discovered, only too late, that they lacked “the eyes to see and ears to hear” because they care more about what’s popular and what others will think of them rather than hearing the still, small voice of Yahuah Alahim speaking to them. This, for many, is the first hurdle to overcome on the road to receiving new light. It also may be the real issue upon which eternity will be won or lost. Stumble here, and there may be no recovery.
• Some seek to uphold the creed of their favored church denomination or religious organization. Each denomination establishes a creed at its inception, the year the church was formed. Each doctrine of the creed can be symbolized as a stone in a great and high wall. The natural and unstated goal of the creed is to maintain unity within, separating their flock as far as possible from the presumed wolves without.

 

Where the Indoctrination Begins

Is it fair to say that when young people attend a Theological Seminary, they are quickly indoctrinated to uphold, at all cost, the establishment of the represented church affiliation? These are the doctrines of its creed and favored leader, be it a Pope, Reformer, presumed Prophet, Theologian, Evangelist, Pastor, Rabbi, etc.  To uphold those teachings of bygone years, might it be that the professors will continue to ignore any and all new light to avoid causing discord and division?

Unity within the church keeps things status quo around the globe, with no breaks in the continuance of tithes and offerings. Then, this is repeated over and over from generation to generation, which prevents any forward movement of reform or controversy. The reality is that if your religious organization has a creed, statement of faith, or list of doctrines without a clause of openness to always seeking new light and a current history of doing so, then your church lacks movement and cannot be led forward into reform by the still small voice of YHUH’s (Yahuah’s) Ruach.

So it is that the only time new light is received is when its adherers are willing to look over the wall and consider new light illuminating from above or even step off the hamster wheel of stale and unsupported doctrines of men and come out from the original organization, be it a church, synagogue, or another assembly.

The Reformation Movement

Have you ever considered that this is how all new fellowships and assemblies are formed? In the 16th century A.D., Martin Luther posted his Ninety-five Thesis to the door of his beloved Roman Catholic Church, but the church was unwilling to bend a knee and change even one identified error. Instead, it was Martin Luther who was forced to step out on his own and stand tall upon the foundation of his newly established convictions. From that pivotal moment and seemingly lonely step, the Protestant Reformation was born. Yet, this was only the beginning of an avalanche of reform as more and more reformers protested the status quo of Roman Catholicism, establishing assemblies of believers upon the advancement of truth. 

As you read through this article, remember that all the Reformers, beginning with Martin Luther, were called out of a previous set of doctrines, beliefs, and creeds and onto a higher platform of truth, which commenced with forward motion.  So, too, were the leaders of the Baptists, Methodists, and Seventh-day Adventists, to name a few. But that in no way means they now have all the truth. It doesn’t mean they have come far enough and shall smugly go no farther, setting their own doctrines as stones of a great and high wall.

Yahuah Alahim’s (YHUH) Reformation has been moving forward incrementally, and at each step, the faithful and obedient have COME OUT as they were led under the tender and watchful care of their Eternal Father, who RESTORES His ancient TRUTHS, establishing them upon higher principles.

Consider that here, at the end of time, our loving Father is preparing a people for the Messiah’s soon return.  All will be tested to see who will “have eyes to see and ears to hear” His still small voice as He leads them to restore His final testing truths and obediently COME OUT of “the Jewish fables and commandments of men.” (Titus 1:14 and Mark 7:7).

“The surest barrier to truth is the conviction you already have it.”

 

“Unfamiliar is no more synonymous with wrong than familiar is synonymous with right.” ~ K. L. F.

 

“There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to accept what is true.” ~ Soren Kierkegaard

 

“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second it is violently opposed. And third, it is accepted as self-evident.” ~ Arthur Schopenhauer, Philosopher, 1788-1860

 

“Neither time nor tradition can transform a lie into truth.”~ K.L.F.

 

“A lie doesn’t become truth, wrong doesn’t become right, and evil doesn’t become good, just because it’s accepted by a majority. ~ Booker T. Washington

The Active Role of Cognitive Dissonance

This paradigm of resistance to new light can be summed up in two words ~ Cognitive Dissonance.  Britannica.com says it this way: 1) The mental conflict that occurs when beliefs or assumptions are contradicted by new information. 2) The unease or tension that the conflict arouses in people is relieved by one of several defensive maneuvers: they reject, explain away, or avoid the new information; persuade themselves that no conflict really exists; reconcile the differences; or resort to any other defensive means of preserving stability or order in their conceptions of the world and of themselves.

The Berean’s Triple Crown

Being a Berean, as defined in Acts 17:11, has three conditions: 1) First, the word must be received, meaning listened to. 2) It must be compared with Scripture to see if it is true. 3) It must be acted upon by exiting the old and embracing the new. Together, this triple crown identifies a heart of willingness to change one’s well-groomed paradigms if the new light is heaven-sent. Yet, one difficult reality predisposed to knocking off the crown of new light is that something you once believed to be true is now shown to be false.

What a Berean is not is someone who covers their ears, believing by doing so, they are standing for the truth. Bereans do not give their full ear to the naysayers, whether of their own denomination or another. They recognize that the loudest naysayers are often paid employees of their preferred organization or who receive a financial stipend from the sale of a book to discredit the new light. They recognize that these naysayers are not free from a slanted view or motivation to shut out any new light.

Like the Bereans of old, the righteous followers of the Messiah today will be willing to 1) first hear, 2) then study to see if these things are so. 3) Then they will make every necessary change to align their soul temples with the abiding principles of their Redeemer’s Kingdom government, His Laws, and His calendar alone. These are the parameters contained in His Bridal Covenant of Mount Zion. None of these will be the popular or cooked-up replacements instituted by the Beast Power.

Scriptures You Must Ignore to Reject
the Lunar Sabbath

Now that we have established a foundation for this study let’s get right into the details of things we must ignore to reject the Most High’s original lunar calendar and authentic seventh-day Sabbath. 

#1.  You must ignore that the Eternal Father, YAHUAH Alahim (H#3068 – יהוה – YHUH – Yahuah) CHANGES NOT! “For I, Yahuah, do not change…” Malachi 3:6. (Hebrews 13:8; James 1:17; Numbers 23:19; Isaiah 40:8; Psalms 102:25-27; 2 Timothy 2:13; Isaiah 40;28; Psalm 119:89; Psalm 33:11; Psalm 20:2; Psalm 119:90; John 3:16; 1 Timothy 1:17.)

This fact is foundational to the subject at hand, as it must first be established that what Yahuah Alahim, the Most High, set in motion at creation to synchronize heaven with earth for His worship rhythm and sacred appointments simply cannot be altered. Once He has spoken His creation into existence, there is no power on earth that can modify what He has set forth, be it a formal decree by ancient Babylonian astrologers, Roman Emperors, Popes, modern Jewish customs born out of Roman captivity, or errors presented as truth by perceived prophets.

This becomes an apparent problem in Christianity, as all the churches subscribe to the view that “we are no longer under the Torah Law but under Grace.”  Another like it is that “the Torah Law ended at the cross, and we are now under Grace.”  Ironically, no matter how it is stated, this view is at odds with the fact that Yahuah (YHUH), the Eternal Father, “changes not.” Instead, what began in Eden as a promise of a coming Messiah was accomplished on the cross/stake of Calvary at the pre-appointed time of the spring Passover Feast Day. But the story doesn’t end there. The fall-appointed Feast Days have yet to be prophetically fulfilled.

The accurate and prophetic fulfillment of the Messiah’s RETURN will follow the rhythm of the ancient lunar path of TIME & EVENT. As a result, the RULES (criteria) that establish who Yahuah (YHUH) Alahim’s faithful and obedient Bride is at the beginning of time must be the same unto the end. The RULES simply can’t be changed. 

#2. You must ignore the fact that the Eternal Most High YAHUAH Alahim, together with His Son, are THE RULERS AND MAKERS OF THE TRINITY OF LIGHTS THAT TOGETHER MAKE UP ASTRO-LUNAR-SOLAR TIME, for YEARS, MONTHS, WEEKS, AND DAYS. (Psalms 104:19, Psalms 89:37.)

“In the beginning, Alahim/Elohim created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1

 

“By the WORD of YAHUAH were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.” Psalms 33:6

 

“And Alahim said, ‘Let there be LIGHTS in the firmament of the shamayim (heavens) to divide the DAYLIGHT from the NIGHT; and let them be for SIGNS, SEASONS [H#4150-mo’edim = SPECIFIC LUNAR APPOINTED DATES], DAYS AND YEARS.’”  Genesis 1:14 [Explanation to follow in #13 below.]

 

“Then Alahim made two great LIGHTS: The greater LIGHT (Sun) to rule by the daylight, and the lesser LIGHT (Moon) to rule by the night together with the stars He made the stars also.”  Genesis 1:16 [Refer to the chart above.] 

 

“It shall be established FOREVER like the MOON, even like the FAITHFUL WITNESS in the sky.”  Psalms 89:37

 

“He ordained the MOON for SEASONS (#4150 – mo’edim – specific lunar appointed dates); the brilliant rays of the SUN reveal and endue it, making known its entrance [in the east].”  Psalms 104:19   

 

“And it shall come to pass that from New Moon to New Moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says Yahuah.” Isaiah 66:23

 

“Thus declares the Almighty YAHUAH, “the GATE of the courtyard interior facing the EAST shall be SHUT six days for work, and in the day of the SABBATH it shall be thrown open wide, and in the day of the NEW MOON it shall be thrown open wide.  But come unto the exalted one, by way of the porch of the temple gate without, and stand beside the doorpost of the gate and observe the Kohenim’s (Priest’s) symbolic first and last burnt offering and symbolic Aleph and Tav peace offering.  And you shall prostrate in worship upon the threshold of the open GATE, coming and going at any time, but the GATE shall not be shut until sunset.”  And so WORSHIPED the people of the land at the entrance way of the same GATE, in the SABBATHS and in the NEW MOON DAYS, before the face of YAHUAH.”  Ezekiel 46:1-3

 

“So teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Psalms 90:12

 

“For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.” Psalms 33:9

 

“The counsel of Yahuah STANDS FOREVER…”  Psalms 33:11

 

“Yahuah brings the counsel of the heathen to naught: He makes the devices of the people of none effect.” Psalms 33:10 (Including their witty calendar inventions.)

 

#3. Please ignore that the Most High (YHUH) designated only “one just weight and measure” as His RIGHTEOUS STANDARD for all weights and measures.

“You shall not have in your house differing measures, a large and a small. You shall have a perfect and just (righteous) weight, a perfect and just (righteous) measure that your days may be lengthened in the land which Yahuah your Alahim is giving you. For all who do such things, all who behave unrighteously, are an abomination to Yahuah your Alahim.” Deuteronomy 25:14-16

Whether measuring the weight of gold, silver, grain, the length of fabric, or the sacred parameters of the Sanctuary/Tabernacle, including TIME, only one just weight and measure was to be the standard utilized for each kind of measure.

1. There were never to be two opposing methods of measuring anything, including time.
2. In addition, each just weight and measure was designed to be perfectly divided from largest to smallest. Meaning that each smaller unit fits perfectly into the larger units because they are quantified, legitimized, and standardized according to the same measuring device. So it is that if any incongruities were to manifest, not meeting the Creator’s STANDARDIZED RULES, it would be the surest sign of dishonesty and foul play, whether historically or in modern times.

   Interestingly, today, everything that can be measured falls under the heading of Standardized Weights and Measures for exactly the same reasons.  Yet, the world has taken for granted that all our current and popular weights and measures are legitimate standards.  No doubt some are, but some are not. Note the differences. For more details on this subject of measuring time, refer to The Calendar Comparison Chart. 

   

Refer to The Creator’s Calendar Comparison Chart for a detailed comparison between Roman timekeeping, modern Jewish timekeeping, and the original Creator’s calendar of Scripture. 

#4. Please ignore that “in the beginning,” in the first chapter of Genesis, the Creator intentionally laid out the parameters of His WEEK to be seven days only. Then, in Exodus 12:1-3, 6, He re-illustrated to Moses and Aaron, as a test of faithfulness fourteen days before leaving Egypt, that His YEAR is made up of LUNAR MONTHS that commence with a specific lunar phase in the spring.

This reveals an inconvenient truth about the sacred measuring tool the Creator implemented for all His units of time, which include YEARS, MONTHS, WEEKS, and DAYS. This detail revealed to Moses and Aaron before the exodus does not change the week’s layout one iota but provides its detailed parameters and placement within the entire scale of His sacred lunar time-measuring model. 

“The NEW MOON (H#2320 – chodesh – lunar month), ‘this one,’ is the beginning of the LUNAR MONTHS (H#2320 – chodesh – lunar month).  It is FIRST (H#7218 – rosh) in order according to the LUNAR MONTHS (H#2320 – chodesh – lunar month) for the revolution of a YEAR (H#8141 – shanah).  You shall keep and teach this to all the congregation of Israel saying, “in the tenth of the LUNAR MONTH (H#2320 – chodesh – 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… And you shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same LUNAR MONTH (H#2320 – chodesh – lunar month): and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it between (H#996 – between) the evenings (H#6153 – plural evenings).” Exodus 12:2-3,6

So on that night, the first one of the year, Moses and Aaron were admonished to count 14 days to Passover from that specific New Moon lunar phase, which was visible in that night sky. This restored to Moses, Aaron, and Yasharal (Israel) for all time the parameters and lunar association between the Creator’s unique YEAR, MONTH, WEEK, and count of DAYS, by lunar phases, within each LUNAR MONTH so that none could claim ignorance, even to our day.

In addition, this instruction to Moses and Aaron utilizes Passover the 14th, counted from the New Moon Day, to consistently identify that the following day is always the seventh-day Sabbath, forever dated the 15th of the same lunar month. In other words, the authentic and original seventh-day Sabbaths are only found on a lunar count from one New Moon to another. (Isaiah 66:23.) This reality remains the status quo in both the Old and New Testaments.

This means that the Creator’s Calendar was specifically ordained IN THE BEGINNING to operate primarily according to LUNAR TIME.  This method includes the time of Moses and the time of the Messiah, who died upon the appointed day of Passover, the 14th of the lunar month, in which the lunar Sabbath followed the next day on the 15th.  As a result, Scripture provides a punctuated three-part account of accurate lunar time measuring that places the Sabbath as a sacred day counted from the New Moon. As a result, we can see we have been hoodwinked all these years with a false paradigm and counterfeit system of time-keeping, as we were sold a Romanized system of rebellion to all things set forth by our Creator in His Torah Law. As a result, we have been living outside the parameters of His time-honored path of salvation.

Now is the time to take this seriously and pray that Yahuah (YHUH) give us “eyes to see and ears to hear,” but also feet to take a stand upon the truths of His word unto Salvation.  

Leviticus 23:5-6 also illustrates this, but it is not as apparent in the English translations. But it will be apparent with the use of a Bible Dictionary. 

“In the fourteenth day of the first month (H#2320 – chodesh – lunar month)  at even is YAHUAH’S the LORD’S PASSOVER.”  Leviticus 23:5

“And on the fifteenth day of the same month (H#2320 – chodesh – lunar month) is the Feast of Unleavened Bread unto YAHUAH the LORD: seven days you must eat unleavened bread.”  Leviticus 23:6

According to Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Dictionary, whenever the term “month” is stated in Scripture, whether in the Old or New Testament, it always refers to a 1) lunar month, 2) the first day of the lunar month, 3) or specifically the New Moon Day. 

As a result, these two verses in Leviticus 23:5-6 are more accurately translated as:

“In the fourteenth day of the first lunar month (H#2320 – chodesh – lunar month)  at even is YAHUAH’S the LORD’S PASSOVER.”  Leviticus 23:5

“And on the fifteenth day of the same lunar month (H#2320 – chodesh – lunar) is the Feast of Unleavened Bread unto YAHUAH the LORD: seven days you must eat unleavened bread.”  Leviticus 23:6

Can you see the difference?  The translators of our sacred Bibles have been taken captive by Roman solar calendar paradigms, resulting in hiding lunar facts beneath the surface of their witty modern Bible translations. They will be judged accordingly, but “TODAY, IF YOU WILL HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS AS IN THE REBELLION.” It’s time to WAKE UP!

#5. Please ignore that the day before the week of creation was not only a sacred day but also the New Moon Day.

The seven-day workweek of creation was sandwiched between two Kadosh (sacred/holy) days. Many Gregorian solar calendar adherents today have assumed that both of these days were seventh-day Sabbaths, all because they have long ascribed to a Roman calendar’s continuous weekly cycle. Yet, throughout Scripture and specifically, Exodus 12:2-3, 6, as shown above, the relevant truth regarding the beginning of YEARS and MONTHS is revealed. The New Moon Day, or the first day of the lunar month, is foundational and self-evident. The seventh-day Sabbath was counted from the New Moon Day (a sacred day). As a result, Day 1 of each lunar month is the New Moon Day; Days 2-7 of the first week are work days, and Day 8 is the seventh-day Sabbath.  To complete all four Sabbaths of each lunar month, they consistently occur on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th days of the Creator’s lunar months. This is illustrated with the large numbers in the calendar illustration below.  Note that the New Moon Day is in the first position at the far right, and all the seventh-day Sabbaths fall into line directly under it. 

These lunar calendar truths were given to Moses and Aaron as a test of faith. They had to pass this first test before locating Passover correctly or leaving Egypt and entering the Promised Land. In the same way, Yahuah’s (YHUH) voice can be heard today calling His faithful and obedient out, with the very same prerequisite test of first identifying the authentic New Moon, without which the correct 14th day (Passover Feast Day) and the 15th day (seventh-day Sabbath) cannot be found. This is the test Yahuah’s last day faithful followers must pass in preparation for entering His Eternal Kingdom, their final Promised Land. It identifies them as hearing the still, small voice of the Father.  All those who reject His last-day restored truths will continue clinging tenaciously to their former church and synagogue leaders and doctrines, never to depart from their own version of Egyptian captivity. 

As you can see above, both the year and month begin with the New Moon Day, which also breaks the cycle of weeks each lunar month. Since we know that Yahuah, the Most High, changes not, we can confidently believe this same arrangement was utilized at creation.  So it was that the first DAY of the YEAR on earth, the day before the first work day of creation, was not a holy Sabbath but a holy (Kadosh) New Moon Day. But wait, you might think, “The moon wasn’t even created until the fourth day.” Truly so, but then neither was the Sabbath, according to Genesis chapter 1. So what gives?

Question: Critical thinking requires you to ask yourself this: “How then could it have been a Sabbath on the day before the first day of creation since the Sabbath was established on the last day of the week?”

Answer:  Glad you asked… The sun, moon, and stars are a copy or, at the minimum, synchronized with the Eternal Father’s own timepiece that had already existed as a worship day among the angels of heaven from eternity past. So, just as you would set a new clock to Coordinated Universal Time, the moon was not only created but also set with its correct lunar phase according to the template and sacred rhythm of the very throne room of heaven, depicting its orbit/time placement on the fourth day.

Exodus 31:13 says, “He gave us His Sabbaths to be a sign.”  A sign of what?  A sign of being in sync with our creator, keeping our worship appointments as sacred events with Him. And not just any calendar arrangement can meet the Creator’s divine requirement. For details, refer to The Fourth Day of Creation.

Some key factors relating to times and laws have been obscured over the last 2,000 years. These have been partly motivated by the Jews to remove themselves far from any binding ties to the death of Yahusha, the Messiah. It is the weight of evidence found scattered throughout the entire Scriptures that reveals its proactive tampering. Even so, the Creator’s predominantly lunar time-measuring STANDARD has and continues to stand out boldly in opposition to that of the solar calendar utilized by the surrounding pagan nations.

With a target on their backs, the faithful and obedient followers of Yahuah Alahim, the Most High and His Son, will carefully seek to restore and safeguard the ancient paths and oracles of truth that define them. (Jeremiah 18:15).

“Thus says Yahuah, ‘Stand you in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and you shall find rest for your souls.’ But they said, “We will not walk therein.” Jeremiah 6:16

 

“And many nations shall come, and say, ‘Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Yahuah, and to the house of the Alahim of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths:’ for the TORAH LAW shall go forth of Zion, and the word of Yahuah from Jerusalem.”  Micah 4:2

#6. Please ignore that approximately 2,500 years after creation, Moses was called to lead the chosen offspring of Abraham out of Egyptian bondage in what is referred to as the exodus.

Stunningly, before they left Egypt and during their forty years of wandering, the Eternal Father (H#3068 – יהוה – YHUH – Yahuah) proactively began instructing His people regarding the big picture of the Plan of Salvation through the unique mechanism of the wilderness Sanctuary and its time-centric ceremonies.

Through the wilderness Sanctuary and later Tabernacle/Temple in Yarushalom (Jerusalem), each sacred ceremonial EVENT was DATE STAMPED according to the count from the New Moon Day (H#2320 – Chodesh).  This was imperative, as it was the blueprint ordained to illustrate to the Hebrews first and to the whole world the divine mechanism chosen to map out the order and extoll the virtue of each SACRED LUNAR FEAST DAY EVENT as it related to THE PLAN OF SALVATION. Each EVENT was specifically DATE STAMPED to depict the remedial work of the Messiah alone, in the heavenly courts above, not made by human hands (Mark 14:58). Each specific lunar appointed DATE punctuated the Messiah’s pathway of the Plan of Salvation, performed for you and me. 

These time-centric EVENTS were designed for His faithful and obedient to celebrate with Him each year in real-time as rehearsals of their prophetic fulfillment yet to come. The rhythm is like a wedding dance to be engaged in by not only the Bridegroom but also by His betrothed bride. It is a sign of their betrothal.  This is accomplished as the bride seeks to harmonize her soul temple to the rhythm and beat of His prophetic ordained requirements and sacred appointments. The Menorah, The Gold Standard of Our Creator’s Eternal Timepiece.

“For Alahim (H#430 – אלהים – God) so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son…” John 3:16.

His prepared path to salvation is the ONLY WAY. It is represented by His only begotten Son, the slain lamb, on behalf of sin and sinners. Through this process, His true followers who seek to honor Him by commemorating each Feast Day EVENT according to His preordained DATE STAMP are revealed.  In this way, they synchronize their soul temples to that of His in both TIME and EVENT.

Each event commemorates those Feast Days that have already been fulfilled or those that are yet to come. This is the progressive pathway of restoration, performed by the Messiah and traversed by His faithful followers. Without this unique time-honored model, it would be impossible for His faithful followers to “follow the Lamb whithersoever He goes.” 

#7. Please ignore that neither Saturday nor Sunday is mentioned by name, even once in Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation.

It cannot be said that they are M.I.A., a military term meaning missing in action, because they were never there in the first place. They were never ordained by the Creator nor present and accounted for during the creation week. Rather, they only exist in the minds of those who honor the fictitious paradigms of a Roman-crafted solar calendar, which became a useful replacement for Emperor Constantine, who was in rebellion with all things Jewish and all principles taught in the Torah Law and Tanakh (Old Testament). Neither Saturday nor Sunday

Saturday – 0
Sunday – 0

#8. Please ignore that this lack of Biblical record also includes each of the other seven Roman planetary days, including “Friday.” The Good Friday Deception.

Monday – 0, Tuesday – 0, Wednesday – 0, Thursday – 0, and Friday – 0

#9. ALL THE WORLD has been led to believe that Saturday and Sunday are two days of Biblical renown operating on a continuous weekly cycle. However, you must ignore that there are no legal or legitimate records or markers that establish the popularized continuous weekly cycle in Scripture.

There are no Scriptural witnesses to support that a perpetual cycling week was either created or sustained from the beginning of time until today. Another way to look at it is that the continuous week cycle is AWOL. This is another military term that means absent without leave. Ironically, there were no legal or legitimate arrangements made for the absence of their existence in the first place.

It would mean that the Creator of TIME had to CHANGE His pre-ordained time-measuring system to accommodate the Roman calendar. He would have to give up His sacred New Moon system that regulates the years, months, weeks, and days and sign a treaty or concord with Rome to establish Julius Caesar or Emperor Constantine as the ultimate ruler of time. This would have been a recorded fact, but it is absent and utterly ridiculous.

It seems the continuous weekly cycle first appeared in Babylon and later Egypt, but it was Julius Caesar and later Roman Emperor Constantine who promoted it throughout their empire and then to all the world after eliminating the moon from their time-measuring protocol. For 1,700 years, the seven-day continuous weekly cycle has been driven forward by the diabolic aspirations of world empires to replace our Creator’s unique and preordained lunar week that begins after each New Moon Day and then cycles only four times before being interrupted by the next New Moon Day every lunar month.

Here are a few historical quotes from the mouths of Jewish scholars:

“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,” Vol. 5, p. 410.

 

“…Shabbat [weekly Sabbath] originally arose from the lunar cycle, containing four weeks ending in Sabbath, plus one or two additional …days per [lunar] month. The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia: An Authorative and Popular Presentation of Jews and Judaism Since the Earliest Times. Volume 10 Cohen, Simon (1943 p 482-483.). Week. In Landman, Isaac.

 

“The period of New Moon was, in pre-exilic [Babylonian] 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 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 workdays 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)…”  Jewish Encyclopedia, 1906 Edition, New Moon, Kaufmann Kohler, Vol 9, p. 243. 

A unique feature of our Creator’s week cycle is that it has never cycled beyond 28 days (7×4) following the New Moon Day, plus the 30th day, which occurs approximately six times each lunar year. These features cause the months to vary from 29 to 30 days in length. But this never affects the length or cycle of four seven-day weeks. They maintain their four seven-day cycles of 28 days following each New Moon Day.  Ezekiel 46:1-3, Isaiah 66:23, Amos 8:5, and other verses expose these long-hidden truths buried under the rubble of Jewish traditions and customs of men (Titus 1:14). Constantine and the Week

#10. Please ignore that the Yasharalites (Israelites/Jews) lost track of their lunar years, lunar months, lunar weeks, and lunar Sabbaths, even though it may seem utterly incredulous.

Not only did it happen, but it occurred multiple times throughout their recorded history. Yahuah Alahim, the Most High, would not allow His Kadosh (holy, sacred, and set apart) truths to be dishonored and mismanaged by the disrespectful and unruly Israelites when they were in apostasy and whoring after pagan gods.

“I will also cause all her [unfaithful Israelites] mirth to cease, her Feast Days, Her New Moons, Her Sabbaths— All her appointed feasts [H#4150 – mo’edim – מועדים – specific lunar appointed dates].” Hosea 2:11 (also Jeremiah 7:34 and Jeremiah 16:9)

When they were unfaithful, it was Yahuah Alahim Himself who allowed the Yasharalites (Israelites) to be taken captive first in Egypt, later in Babylon, and lastly by the Romans. So each time they were unfaithful, they lost the privilege of honoring His Torah Laws or maintaining His calendar and sacred days, all because, in captivity, they were now required to honor the laws and calendar rhythm of their captors.

Following each judgment event, they were taken captive. After a period of time, they were ultimately restored to their land, their laws, and their lunar calendar, except in the aftermath of their Roman captivity. In that case, while they were allowed to return to their land in more recent years, they have never yet returned to the authentic and original calendar and Yahuah’s oracles of truth emanating from His sacred Torah Law. This is because, during their long years in Roman captivity, the Rabbinical Pharisees rose to power from within, teaching ancient Babylonian mysticism through the sinister oral traditions of the Talmud and Kabbalah. These doctrines of men began to supersede the Torah Law and its oracles of truth among the Jews, which they had originally been given to guard and protect. Today, not one unit of time is left intact or in harmony with Scripture by either the Rabbinical Pharisee Jews or the sect of Karaite Jews.

Strikingly, in any event, that Yahuah’s professed followers remain under the rhythm and time constraints of their captors, they remain in captivity. So, I maintain that all of Yasharal (Israel) today remains in Roman captivity.

BUT BEHOLD, THE MESSIAH HAS MADE A WAY OF ESCAPE…through honoring His lunar Feast Day arrangement, as it is the key that unlocks prison doors and sets the captives free, whether modern Jews, Christians, followers of an alternate world religion, or be it atheism. HalleluYah! 

But don’t Jews of both sects keep the Feast Days?  Yes, they do, but not according to the Creator’s calendar.  They remain off by a minimum of 15 days to a maximum of 45 days and celebrate alone, meaning Yahuah Alahim is not celebrating with them. More on this shortly.

“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.” Jewish Encyclopedia.com, the unedited full-text of the 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia, “History of the Calendar,” by Joseph Jacobs, Cyrus Adler, Vol. 3, p. 498.

 

“In 325 CE the Council of Nicaea was held… This council made no practical change in the existing [Julian] civil calendar, but addressed itself to the reform of the Church calendar, which was soli-lunar on the Jewish system. Great disputes had arisen as to the time of celebrating Easter. Moreover, the Church was not fully established, many Christians [Messiah followers] being still simply Jewish sectarians. A new rule was therefore made, which, while still keeping Easter dependent on the moon, prevented it from coinciding with Passover.” Jewish Encyclopedia.com, the unedited full-text of the 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia, “History of the Calendar,” “Talmudic Period,” by Joseph Jacobs, Cyrus Adler, Vol. 3, p. 50

#11. You must ignore that every time the term month (H#2320 – חדשׁ – chodesh) is expressed in Scripture, whether in the Old or New Testaments (Torah or Brit Hadasha), it always means 1) lunar month, 2) first day of the lunar month, 3) New Moon Day, or 4) Renewed Moon Day.

What the term month, aka “Chodesh,” never means, is a solar month as crafted by Roman Emperors as late as A.D. 325, as it has no connection to the moon or its phases. The following definition is from the Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Dictionary.     

“The period of New Moon was, in pre-exilic [Babylonian] 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 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 workdays 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)…” Jewish Encyclopedia, 1906 Edition, New Moon, Kaufmann Kohler, Vol 9, p. 243. 

 

“…A month in law, is a lunar month…unless otherwise expressed… In legal proceedings, the word ‘months,’ means lunar months…” Stroud’s Judicial Dictionary (of Great Britain), 1903 Edition, p. 1221.

 

#12. To continue to worship Yahuah Alahim (the Lord God) on either a Saturday or Sunday, one must ignore the 349 times the word “chodesh” (H#2318, H#2319, and H#2320 – New Moon or lunar month) is recorded in Scripture. 

This is recorded nearly twice as often as the seventh-day Sabbath. The first reason this matters is that it is defined in Scripture as a Kadosh (sacred/holy) day.  Secondly, the mere fact that the New Moon Day exists and is neither a work day nor a seventh-day Sabbath breaks the cycle of weeks every lunar month. This means the Creator and His recorded Biblical Word set the standard for time-measuring, which provides NO opportunity for the existence of a continuous weekly cycle outside the boundaries of one New Moon to another. Isaiah 66:23. 

Note that as a result of imperfect translations, most of the list below, as read in our modern Bible versions, refers only to the word “month.” Most of them are not accurately specified as “lunar months.” It was because of this lack of lunar appointing by translators that all of the world has, for the most part, assumed that the Biblical months and weeks were in alignment with the modern Roman solar calendar and its illegitimately improvised model of the creation week. They declared that the week merely cycles without end with no breaks. The simple fact that the New Moon Day (H#2318-2320) exists breaks the cycle of weeks.

Nonetheless, it may surprise you to discover that according to Scripture and all Hebrew and Greek Dictionaries, not one of these chodesh months refers to solar months. Solar months, which are so popular today, are not mentioned in Scripture, ever.

#13. Please ignore that the Karaite Jews, from whom the Millerites adopted their crescent New Moon time-measuring, admit they don’t even know when the true Seventh-day Sabbath actually occurs anymore.

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!!! If the Karaites, for which the Seventh-day Adventist denomination has patterned its historic Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) event of October 22, 1844, have come to the conclusion that “WE HAVE NO PROOF WHATSOEVER that SATURDAY is the ACTUAL SEVEN DAY ANNIVERSARY of the ORIGINAL SABBATH OF CREATION,” then it is time to sit up and TAKE NOTICE!!! SOUND THE ALARM!!!

The name Karaite means adhering to the Bible only (Sola Scriptura) and not to the Talmud and the Babylonian oral traditions or Kabbalah. However, 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 come all the way out of the Roman Catholic Church and its errors, including solar time, neither did the Karaites regain all the truths that had been lost over the past 2,000 years, specifically with regard to the calendar, its Full New Moon days, lunar seventh-day Sabbaths, or the specific lunar appointed Feast dates. 

#14. You must also ignore that every time the seventh-day Sabbath can be tied to a date in Scripture, it is consistently tied to a count from the New Moon Day as the original start of lunar months, as illustrated in this photo.

Add to this our surprise to discover that the full moon was the original and authentic first day of the lunar month. This photo of the 14th-century astro-luni-solar clock and calendar of St. John Baptist de Lyon Cathedral in France emphasizes:

1. The full moon is the original New Moon and/or the start of lunar months.
2. We established in #3 above that all TIME UNITS must be measured according to the same HOLY STANDARDIZED WEIGHTS AND MEASURES made of LUNAR YEARS, LUNAR MONTHS, LUNAR WEEKS, AND LUNAR PHASE APPOINTED DAYS. Utilizing this sacred and ordained method alone is the only way to find His Kadosh (holy/sacred) seventh-day Sabbaths and specific lunar appointed Feast Days unto Salvation. This lunar phenomenon unfailingly places the seventh day of the Sabbath on the 8^th, 15^th, 22^nd, and 29^th days of each lunar month of every year. This consistent method provides us with the humble assurance that we are now synchronized to our Creator’s sacred days.  Refer to the full article Sabbath’s Consistent Lunar Month Dates

 

#15. You must ignore the documented discovery made by François Lenormant, who published his findings in the book “Origines de l’Histoire” (History of the Origins) in 1880, also recorded in the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica, p. 993.

He was a French Assyriologist, meaning an archeologist of Assyria and ancient Babylon. He identified that the early Mesopotamian culture utilized the FULL MOON as the start of months and years in contrast to the Rabbinical and Karaite Jews’ touted dark conjunction or crescent New Moons, both of which are rather recent contrivances. 

Remember, this was the first civilization following the flood. This represents the first and second generations of Noah who, along with his family of eight, had remained faithful to their Creator and, as a result, were saved in the ark from the flood.

“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. 

As identified in his quote above, originally, it was the full moons in their order that designated the lunar months of each year.  And because full moons occur by night, they consistently measured the night sky together with the stars exactly as defined by the four witnesses of Scripture as found in Genesis 1:16, Psalms 136:7-9, Jeremiah 31:35-36, and Revelation 12:1.

Secondly, and of equal importance, this quote also validates that it was the full moons that formed the starting points for ALL other divisions of time.  As a result, it includes the time division of Years, Months, Weeks, and Days. And by extension, the authentic seventh-day Sabbath, the sacred worship day of our Creator that has existed from eternity past. So contrary to the modern Rabbinical and Karaite Jews’ Saturday, as found on the modern Roman replacement solar calendar, His Kadosh (holy, sacred, and set-apart) seventh-day Sabbath has and will always be measured from full moon to full moon through all eternity. This is, therefore, a nail in a sure place as it is in harmony with all of Scripture and astronomy!

Thirdly, note that from the same quote above on page 993 of the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica, still quoting from François Lenormant’s “Origines de l’Histoire” (History of the Origins), he identifies that years later, the Chaldean astronomers from this same region [likely under the leadership of Nimrod and Semiramis], invented and introduced the method of measuring time by tracing the sun’s path among the starry constellations of the zodiac by daylight. The term utilized to describe this variance from the original method of utilizing the full moon was a “recondite” one. The term “recondite” means concealed, hidden, and secret.

So, what exciting evidence is brought to light by the discovery of this quote, and what does it all mean? The full moon was Rosh (head/first) of all divisions of time, including the Year, Month, Week, and count of Days among the faithful early descendants of Noah who worshiped the one true Yahuah Alahim, our Creator. Then later, the Chaldaean astronomers from the same region, likely under the leadership of Nimrod during the time of building the Tower of Babel, were the originators of the counterfeit and replacement time-measuring system so popular to this day. They single-handedly changed Yahuah Alahim’s time-centric laws by inventing a new method of measuring time, entirely out of sync with the original.

This may have been the pivotal issue in tandem with building the tower that fomented their rebellion against the Creator. They desired to implement a luni-solar method of measuring the stars with the sun by day when the stars are invisible and hidden. By extension, although not overtly stated, the dark moon, in conjunction with the sun, was introduced and utilized to mark the start of years and months from that moment onward.

This was the inception and beginning when the new “secret or hidden” luni-solar system was crafted and commenced each year and month, a full 180 degrees opposite that of our Creator’s preordained time-measuring model. Might this be the primary reason for the destruction of the Tower of Babel, the confusion of the languages, and the scattering of the people unto all regions of the earth?

In those early years among the faithful and obedient of Yahuah Alahim, following the flood, no wall calendars, wrist watches, or international datelines were needed because all were perfectly incorporated into the rhythm of the lights high above out of the reach of man and beast.  Each unit of time was ordained to fit perfectly into the next larger unit with no overlapping. This is because they were all beaconed by the same trinity of lights, with the full moons marking the starting points of all the divisions of time in a marvelous pattern and rhythm that distinguished each one apart from the rest. This reality alone provides a consistent and visual platform through which mankind may rendezvous with their Creator for all His sacred lunar appointed times.

#16. You must ignore the original and intended meaning of Genesis 1:14 regarding: “…signs, seasons, days, and years.”

The word translated as seasons, aka mo’edim, most often translated as (H#4150 – mo’edim – מועדים = appointed time), has undergone an interesting evolution that has served to proactively hide its original and authentic intended meaning. Here is how this has transpired, as well as what has been discovered as the original definition.

Between the 1^st and 4^th centuries A.D., the Romans hated the Jews and wanted nothing to do with their Torah Laws, New Moon Days, Lunar Sabbaths, or Lunar appointed Feast Days (H#4150 – mo’edim – מועדים = appointed time), even placing the abolition of these in their creed.

The Jews were taken captive in A.D. 70, but the Roman calendar had already changed from lunar to solar during the reign of Julius Caesar. All units of time, including the years, months, weeks, and days, had effectively been wholly divorced from the moon’s phases. In addition, the week was changed from seven days to eight and was set on a course all its own to cycle continuously with no ties to any other time unit. This caused the week to float throughout all other time-measuring units. Later, in A.D. 325, Constantine the Great restored the seven-day week, but it retained both its separation from the moon and the continuous cycle behavior so cleverly crafted by Julius Caesar. The Constantinian Creed, the Forgotten Foundation of All Christian Churches.

1. According to Strong’s and Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew dictionaries, the term seasons is defined as: (H#4150 – mo’edim – מועדים = appointed time, appointed place, set feast, a fixed time, an appointment, a festival, and assembly).
2. However, Psalms 104:19 has been entirely ignored by both the framers of the Strong’s Concordance and B-D-B Hebrew dictionary. It is Psalms 104:19 that defines the word seasons (aka mo’edim) quite differently. Referring to the Creator Yahuah Alahim, it specifically states, “He ordained the MOON for “seasons (mo’edim)…” So what this means is that Yahuah Alahim ordained the moon to regulate all His important time-centric commemorative events (H#4150 – mo’edim – מועדים) causing the meaning to radically change from mere “appointed time on any calendar measuring system” to LUNAR APPOINTED TIME. As a result, lunar appointed time must then be applied to all the ordained sacred days in addition to defining the dates of all the days of any given lunar month.
3. Add to this that the online modern Hebrew translator (doitinHebrew.com), identifies the word seasons (aka mo’edim) as: “specific dates, and/or commemorative dates.”
4. So combining together a, b, and c above, seasons aka mo’edim actually means: specific lunar appointed dates, and/or specific lunar commemorative dates.

As a result of the above restoration of the Hebrew meaning of seasons, aka mo’edim, here is how Genesis 1:14 was originally intended to be read: 

“…and let them be for signs, and for specific lunar appointed dates, and days, and years.” Genesis 1:14

Refer to the article, The Missing Key Puzzle Piece

 

#17. You must ignore that because Psalms 104:19 identifies that the MOON regulates seasons, aka mo’edim, for “specific lunar appointed dates,” our Creator’s authentic calendar dates can only be found numerically within each lunation (lunar month), counting them from 1 to 29-30 days).

This means that His calendar year is made up of lunar months that are divided into smaller units of lunar weeks and lunar days, each of which is demarcated by its own unique lunar phase. Then, the cycle of lunar phases and their dates begins its count again with each New Moon Day. The Missing Key Puzzle Piece

 

#18. You must ignore that because of the recent discovery of the meaning of seasons, aka mo’edim; accordingly, as laid out in Leviticus 23:1-3 (in the Hebrew text), the seventh-day Sabbaths are also mo’edim (H#4150 – mo’edim – מועדים).

This means that the seventh-day Sabbaths consistently occur on specific lunar appointed dates, such as the 8^th’ 15^th, 22^nd, and 29^th of each lunar month. The Missing Key Puzzle Piece

Note what is recorded in history. 

“A unit of time; the period between one new moon and another. According to the account of Creation in Genesis, it was decreed that the ‘lesser light’ should ‘rule the night’ and serve ‘for signs and for seasons’ [mo’edim] (Gen. 1:14). The Psalmist also says, ‘He appointed the moon for seasons‘ [mo’edim] (Ps. 104:19). Undoubtedly there was an occasional interpolation of an extra [thirteenth lunar]  month to correct the lunar year to the solar cycle; and it is evident from the fact that the festivals named in given months—such as Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles—all had to do with crops… The relation of the months to the signs of the zodiac is a further evidence that the solar-lunar year was employed.” Jewish Encyclopedia, “Month,” Cyrus Adler, Judah David Eisenstein, Vol. 8, p.671.

 

#19. You must ignore that the moon cycles through 29.5 lunar phases each month, causing one month to be 29 days in length and the next 30 according to its own cycle, yet each in their order waxing and waning in their own unique similitudes.

Each lunar phase is simultaneously both position and phase-related. Each phase numerically demarcates the count of days for the complete lunar month from 1-29 or 30. All one has to do is look up at the moon to know the week and the day. There is no need for a published Roman calendar to hang on our walls, ripping us from the truth with each calendar page. Sabbath’s Consistent Lunar Month Dates 

 

#20. Ignore that while Genesis 1 identifies that the week contains two kinds of days, work days and Sabbaths,  Exodus 12:1-4, Ezekiel 46:1-3, and Isaiah 66:23 clarify that each lunar month contains three kinds of days.

It is because the New Moon Day exists as a third kind of day that it always breaks the cycle of weeks every 29 or 30 days.  See the example below. Scripture’s GPS Identifies the True Sabbath.

 

#21. Ignore that because there are three kinds of days each lunar month; it is impossible for them to overlap, as some have declared.

Overlapping of days is a phenomenon that only occurs within the framework of the Roman solar calendar, where the first day of the solar month can also be either a work day or the seventh day of the week. This occurs because its weeks float throughout, neither starting on New Year’s Day nor the first day of any given month.  

Floating weeks and overlapping are avoided when we follow what Scripture says. 

“Thus declares Yahuah Alahim, ‘The gate of the inner courtyard facing the east is caused to be shut six daylights for work, but on the Sabbath daylight it is thrown open and on the New Moon daylight it is thrown open.'” Ezekiel 46:1

Just as a traffic light will never display two or more of its colored lights at any given moment, neither can the Creator’s authentic calendar allow its New Moon Days, work Days, and Sabbath Days to overlap each other. This is because they are measured according to the same measuring method, the Creator’s system of Standardized Weights and Measures. All three are single-day events that are in lunar numeric order from 1-29 or 30. The New Moon Day is always day 1, while the four seventh-day Sabbaths consistently occur on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th days of each month, as mentioned earlier. Each kind of day is designed for specific yet different purposes.  

 

#22. You must ignore that the East Gate of the Sanctuary/Temple was closed every day of the work week and only open for corporate worship on the New Moon Day, as well as the seventh-day Sabbaths and annual Feast Days.  Leviticus 23:1-44, Ezekiel 46:1-3, Numbers 28, Numbers 29. Worship at the East Gate

With the East Gate synchronized to the New Moon and count to seventh day Sabbaths, the purpose of the Temple’s East Gate was to illustrate to the people that the Creator’s time-measuring method was predominantly lunar. 

#23. Further, you must ignore that the Tabernacle/Temple sacrificial system, with its number of sacrifices as well as the specific kind and size of animals sacrificed, demonstrated the value the Eternal Father placed on each of His three and even four kinds of days.

For without a doubt, His instructions are to honor certain days above others in contrast to what it says in Romans 14:5. There were morning and evening sacrifices for every day of the month and year, but on New Moon Days, lunar Sabbaths, and lunar appointed Feast Days, there were the additional and specific predetermined number of sacrifices. The purpose was to illustrate that all days are certainly counted within each lunar month and year. But also to set each of these three kinds of days apart as unique and separate so that no one would miss the imperative importance relative to the perfect Plan of Salvation. Thirdly, the sacrifices illustrate that it is impossible for work days, Sabbaths, or New Moon Days to overlap each other ever.

Each Temple sacrifice and ceremony, whether a sacred day or not, was consistently tied to the unbreakable bonds of TIME and EVENT. Each had a specific commemorative lunar date. Each sacrifice was connected to the day of the week and the month and year by way of a single time-measuring model, one standardized measure.

Work Days	“…This is the offering made by fire which you shall offer to Yahuah: two male lambs in their first year without blemish, day by day, as a regular burnt offering. The one lamb you shall offer in the morning, the other lamb you shall offer in the evening, and one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a grain offering mixed with one-fourth of a hin of pressed oil.” It is a regular burnt offering that was ordained at Mount Sinai for a sweet aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahuah. And its drink offering shall be one-fourth of a hin for each lamb; in a holy place you shall pour out the drink to Yahuah as an offering. The other lamb you shall offer in the evening; as the morning grain offering and its drink offering, you shall offer it as an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to Yahuah.  Numbers 28:3-8
Seventh-day Sabbath	“And on the Sabbath day two lambs in their first year, without blemish, and two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour as a grain offering, mixed with oil, with its drink offering— this is the burnt offering for every Sabbath, besides [in addition to] the regular [morning and evening] burnt offering with its drink offering [of two lambs].”  Numbers 28:9-10 [Total of four lambs.]
New Moon Days	“At the beginnings of your months (H#4150 – mo’edim – מועדים – lunar month, the first day of the lunar month, or New Moon Day) you shall present a burnt offering to Yahuah: two young bulls, one ram, and seven lambs in their first year, without blemish; three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour as a grain offering, mixed with oil, for each bull; two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour as a grain offering, mixed with oil, for the one ram; and one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour, mixed with oil, as a grain offering for each lamb, as a burnt offering of sweet aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahuah. Their drink offering shall be half a hin of wine for a bull, one-third of a hin for a ram, and one-fourth of a hin for a lamb; this is the burnt offering for each month throughout the months of the year. Also one kid of the goats as a sin offering to Yahuah shall be offered, besides [in addition to] the regular burnt [morning and evening] offering and its drink offering.” Numbers 28:11-15

 

#24. You must ignore the following verses indicating that the moon regulates all the sacrifices and stands as a specific DATE & EVENT unifier between the New Moon, the Sabbath, and all the other Feast Days, including work days.

Only one consistent measuring device is utilized: the moon, which marked the corresponding starry constellation for each specific month. Isaiah 66:23, Amos 8:5, Colossians 2:16, 1 Chronicles 23:31, 2 Chronicles 2:4, 2 Chronicles 31:3, Nehemiah 10:33, Ezekiel 45:17, Ezekiel 46:1-3, and Hosea 2:11.  

 

#25. You must ignore that according to Leviticus 23:6-7 of the O.T., Mark 15:42, and John 19:31 of the N.T., the Feast of Unleavened Bread consistently occurs on the seventh-day Sabbath, the 15th day of the first lunar month in spring, making it a High Day.

Every year, the Feast of Unleavened Bread occurs on the seventh-day Sabbath conclusively as the 15th of Abib/Nissan. It is always the day after Passover, the 14th. This occurs because both the Feast of Unleavened Bread and the lunar seventh-day Sabbath are consistently counted from the New Moon Day. Add to this that because this Feast Day occurs simultaneously with the seventh-day Sabbath, it is called a High Day. 

 

“And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.  Mark 15:42-43

“The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on  the Sabbath day, (for that Sabbath day was an high day), besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.” John 19:31

This illustrates that the authentic seventh-day Sabbath of Scripture is found only on a lunar count from the New Moon. This is not a chance occurrence but occurs each year in the very same manner. So, like a GPS unit, three lunar dates are tied together to ensure accuracy and that the truth is made plain. This reveals a lunar reality for Yahuah’s faithful, whether popular or not. It reveals how far Christianity has fallen from the truth. Scripture’s GPS Identifies the True Sabbath

 

#26. You must ignore the riddle in which the Messiah Himself prophesied that He would be in the tomb for three days and three nights; all those who subscribe to the Roman Gregorian calendar will continually come up short in this count of days.

Anything short of accounting for the three days and three nights is a demonstration of not rightly dividing His ordained time units, which in all actuality declares the Messiah to be a liar.

The Christian churches that honor the modern Roman solar calendar cannot solve the Messiah’s riddle of three days and three nights Sign of Jonah because its days commence at midnight. Neither can the modern Jews who commence their day at sunset. This riddle can only be solved by those who commence their days at sunrise, with their nights following their daylights for a 24-hour civil calendar date.  Only this arrangement will achieve the desired results of three days and three nights and solve the Messiah’s riddle. 

Refer to A Day in Genesis.

#27. You must ignore that while it is true that the earthly types and shadows, as displayed in the Tabernacle/Temple for the purpose of instruction, did end at the cross of the Messiah. However, the antitype (ministerial work of the Messiah) for which it all pointed had only just begun in heavenly places, in the Temple, not made with human hands.

Thus, the same lunar calendar upon which His worship rhythm was illustrated for nearly 1,500 years on Earth was set to continue into perpetuity. This living reality, forever, ties the sinner to their Savior, Yahusha the Messiah, on His Kadosh (holy, sacred, and set-apart) specific lunar appointed dates. Therefore, His New Moon Days, Lunar seventh-day Sabbaths, and specific lunar appointed Feast Days were intended to remain status quo upon His sacred lunar calendar.

 

#28. You must ignore that the modern Roman calendar did not exist at Creation or the time of Moses and was not yet utilized by the Hebrews in Jerusalem at the time of the Messiah.

When Julius Caesar first introduced it in 46 B.C., the week was eight days long and cycled without end, a unique idea created to be at odds with the lunar system. The Romans found this new kind of week was only possible by removing the moon from regulating the years, months, weeks, and demarcating days.

Removing the months and weeks from the lunar phases provided a smorgasbord of time-measuring options for the first time. The modern Roman week has evolved extensively over the past 2,000 years. While it was utilized within the Roman Empire as early as 46 B.C., it was not forced upon Israel until after A.D. 70, when they were taken into captivity. 

• The removal of the moon from time-measuring occurred in 46 B.C. by Julius Caesar. Historical Quotes
• The invention of the continuous weekly cycle also occurred in 46 B.C. by Julius Caesar. Historical Quotes
• The invention of the eight-day week also occurred in 46 B.C. by Julius Caesar. Historical Quotes
• Emperor Constantine, at the Council of Nicaea in 321-325 A.D. returned the week to seven days, but it remained forever tied to the continuous weekly cycle so as to have no relation to the calendar of Scripture (Torah Law) or the faithful Hebrews, prior to their Roman captivity. As a result, it floats throughout both the solar and the lunar calendar years, months, weeks, and days, having no ties to the sun, moon or stars. This is prevailing evidence that it has no ties to the Creator or his creation, because time was divinely ordained to be beaconed from His trinity of lights.  Historical Quote

Below is a short video in which Pastor Robert Sterns describes a prophetic dream he was given. This short dream is incredible and highly recommended to watch. 

Short Video: Prophetic Dream – Yahuah moves His faithful back to His lunar calendar rhythm ~ Pastor Robert Sterns

“This is Holy Mother Church, her season has ended and she has died.  The times of the gentiles have been fulfilled.”

Song:  “When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s amour (love).” 

“And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” Luke 21:24

 

#29. Please ignore that in A.D. 325, Constantine the Great legislated his updated version of the Julian solar calendar upon his entire empire.

The Jews were still in captivity there, and the pressure was too much for them. Ultimately, they were forced to give up their original lunar calendar layout but were allowed to adopt Babylonian lunar features for their Feast Day count. Under duress, they were forced to accept the continuous weekly cycle for locating their seventh-day Sabbaths, but only after the week was changed from the original eight-day cycle to that of the seven-day cycle. That is when Saturday became their new seventh day, but this new solar calendar and continuous weekly cycle that floated through the months and days created a near unreconcilable chaos for the Jews with their lunar month Feast Day rhythm, as the two calendar styles, solar and lunar, were entirely opposed to each other.

Putting their heads together, they devised a plan to make it work on paper. They called it the Rules of Postponement. (More on this later.) 

“Early historical records clearly confirm that very early Gentile Christians also kept the same [lunar] Sabbath Calendar as the…Nazarenes. This practice was first changed by Sixtus in 126 A.D. and later officially changed by a royal Roman decree from the emperor Constantine. Observance of the [lunar] Sabbath day was made illegal and observance of a “Sunday” of a FIXED WEEK was made mandatory for all except farmers. Previous to this time the ROMAN SATURDAY was the FIRST DAY OF THE ROMAN WEEK. The veneration of the Sun in the second century A.D. began to pressure Roman culture to change the first day of their week FROM SATURNSDAY TO SUNDAY. (Had the Jews been observing this same Roman calendar at this early date, as some maintain, then their seventh-day Sabbath would have been on FRIDAY which was the traditional seventh-day of this Roman calendar during the first century A.D.). Ibid

     In A.D. 130, Hadrian visited the ruins of Jerusalem left after the First Roman-Jewish War… He promised to rebuild the city, but planning it as a pagan metropolis to be called Aelia Capitolina. A new pagan temple on the ruins of the Second Temple was to be dedicated to Jupiter.^[11] In addition, Hadrian abolished circumcision (brit milah), which he, as an avid Hellenist, viewed as mutilation.^[12] A Roman coin inscribed Aelia Capitolina was issued in A.D. 132. Hadrian’s policies triggered the massive Jewish uprising, led by Bar Kokhba and Akiba ben Joseph. Following the outbreak of the revolt, Hadrian called his general Sextus Julius Severus from Britain, and troops were brought from as far as the Danube. Roman losses were very heavy, and it is believed that an entire legion, the XXII Deiotariana was destroyed. ^[13] Roman losses were so heavy that Hadrian’s report to the Roman Senate omitted the customary salutation “I and the legions are well” ^[14]. Hadrian’s army eventually defeated the revolt however. According to Cassius Dio, during the war 580,000 Jews were killed, 50 fortified towns and 985 villages razed. After the end of the war, Hadrian continued the religious persecution of Jews, according to the Babylonian Talmud ^[15]. Ibid

     He attempted to root out Judaism, which he saw as the cause of continuous rebellions, prohibited the Torah law, the Hebrew calendar and executed Judaic scholars. The sacred scroll was ceremoniously burned on the Temple Mount.At the former Temple sanctuary, he installed two statues, one of Jupiter, another of himself. In an attempt to erase any memory of Judea, he removed the name from the map and replaced it with Syria Palaestina, after the Philistines, the ancient enemies of the Jews. He re-established Jerusalem as the Roman pagan polis of Aelia Capitolina, and Jews were forbidden from entering it.” Wikipedia the free Encyclopedia, Hadrian

 

“This change from the luni-solar to a fixed solar calendar occurred in Rome during the repressive measures which were enacted against ALL Jewish customs . . .during the reign of Emperor Hadrian. With the fall of the Nazarene headquarters…at Jerusalem, this new Roman calendar quickly spread throughout ‘Christendom.’ This new calendar not only replaced yearly festival dates such as Passover, but it also revamped the concept of the week and its seventh-day.” Iranaeus 2^nd Century A.D.

 

“The…calendar was used by ALL the original disciples of Yeshua…This original Nazarene lunar-solar calendar was supplanted by a Roman “planetary week” and calendar in 135 C.E. — when the “Bishops of the Circumcision” were displaced from Jerusalem. This began a three hundred year controversy concerning the TRUE CALENDAR AND CORRECT SABBATH: This [calendar] controversy arose after the exodus of the bishops of the circumcision and has continued until our time.” Epiphanius, HE4, 6, 4. 

 

“In the years following Clement of Alexandria’s time, an ominous change started to take place that was to radically change the Christian concept of the Sabbath. This intimate connection, records the Encyclopedia Biblica, between the week and the month was soon dissolved. It is certain that the week soon followed a development of its own, and it became the custom without paying any regard to the days of the month [i.e. the lunar month].” Encyclopedia Biblica, The MacMillan Company, 1899. p. 5290.

 

“The early Christians [Messiah followers] had at first adopted the Jewish [lunar] seven-day week with its numbered weekdays, but by the close of the third century A.D. this began to give way to the planetary week; and in the fourth and fifth centuries the pagan designations became generally accepted in the western half of Christendom. The use of the planetary names by Christians attests to the growing influence of astrological speculations introduced by converts from paganism.” Rest Days: A Study in Early Law and Morality. New York: The MacMillan Company, 1916, p. 220.

 

“It seems as if some spiritual genius having control over the pagan world had so ordered things that the heathen planetary week should be introduced just at the right time for the most popular Sun cult of all ages to come along and exalt the day of the Sun as a day above and more sacred than all the rest.  Surely this was not accidental.”  Sunday in Roman Paganism, Robert L. Odom, p. 157.

 

“This slow metamorphosis…with pagan calendation principles is largely responsible for the lack of knowledge existing today regarding the true calendar of the Creator. The pagan continuous weekly cycle reaches so far back in history, it is assumed that a continuous weekly cycle has always existed.  The historical facts of the Julian calendar have been forgotten and circular reasoning has been used to “prove” that Saturday is the [Biblical] Sabbath.” Calendar Fraud, eLaine Vornholt & Lauralee Vornholt-Jones, p. 44.

 

#30. Please ignore the volumes of historical documentation with regard to the calendar swap that began with Julius Caesar, Titus, and others but was finally legislated by Emperor Constantine with the help of his creed.

It is the proclamations attributed to Constantine, Emperor of Rome in A.D. 321, at the Council of Nicaea, for which the Easter Controversy was set afire, and was the basis for which the calendar of Creation, its New Moons, Sabbaths, and Feast Days were all done away with.  No part of the ordained calendar was intended to be eliminated at the crucifixion of Yahusha haMashiach (the Messiah). 

“I renounce all customs, rites, legalisms, unleavened breads and sacrifices of lambs of the Hebrews, and all the other feasts of the Hebrews, sacrifices, prayers, aspirations, purifications, sanctifications, and propitiations, and fasts and New Moons, and Sabbaths, and superstitions, and hymns and chants, and observances, and synagogues.  Absolutely everything Jewish, every [Torah] Law, rite and custom and if afterwards I shall wish to deny and return to Jewish superstition, or shall be found eating with Jews, or feasting with them, or secretly conversing and condemning the Christian religion instead of openly confuting them and condemning their vain faith, then let the trembling of Cain and the leprosy of Gehazi cleave to me, as well as the legal punishments to which I acknowledge myself liable. And may I be an anathema in the world to come, and may my soul be set down with Satan and the devils.” Stefano Assemani, Acta Sanctorium Martyrum Orientalium at Occidentalium, Vol. 1, Rome 1748, page 105

 

The following oath was to be declared by all the dedicated Roman subjects, who would adhere to the Creed and be counted as Christian. Are you able to distinguish any similarities found in this Creed or the following oath that pertain to a religious organization in your past or present?

 

“I accept all customs, rites, legalism, and feasts [holidays] of the Romans, sacrifices, prayers, purifications with water, sanctifications by Pontificus Maximus (high priests of Rome), propitiations, and feasts [holidays], and the New Sabbath Sol dei (day of the sun) [on a new perpetual weekly cycle], all new chants and observances, and all the foods and drinks of the Romans. In other words, I absolutely accept everything Roman, every new law, rite and custom, of Rome, and the New Roman Religion.”  A Profession of Faith from the Church of Constantinople in the year 325 C.E. Under the Emperor Constantine

 

“At the Council of Nice [Nicaea] the last thread was snapped which connected  Christianity to its parent stock [Romanism detached from the Jews and by extension severed itself from the Messiah and the Torah Law].  The festival of Easter had up till now been celebrated for the most part at the same time as the Jewish Passover, and indeed upon the days calculated and fixed by the Synhedrion [Sanhedrin] in Judea for its celebration; but in future its observance was to be rendered altogether independent of the Jewish calendar. ‘For it is unbecoming beyond measure that on this holiest of festivals we should follow the customs of the Jews.  Henceforward, let us have nothing in common with this odious people; our Savior has shown us another path.  It would indeed be absurd if the Jews were able to boast that we are not in a position to celebrate the Passover without the aid of their rules.‘ These remarks are attributed to the Emperor Constantine . . . [and became] the guiding principle of the Church, which was now to decide the fate of the Jews [and their original time-measuring system].’” Heinrich Graetz, History of the Jews, Vol. II, pp. 563-564.

 

“In 325 CE the Council of Nice [Nicaea] was held… This council made no practical change in the “existing civil calendar,” but addressed itself to the reform of the Church calendar… Great disputes had arisen as to the time of celebrating Easter. Moreover, the Church was not fully established, many Christians [Messiah followers] being still simply Jewish sectarians. A new rule was therefore made, which, while still keeping Easter dependent on the moon, prevented it from coinciding with Passover.” Jewish Encyclopedia.com, the unedited full-text of the 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia, “History of the Calendar,” “Talmudic Period,” by Joseph Jacobs, Cyrus Adler, Vol. 3, p. 500.

 

“The present Jewish calendar was fixed in the fourth century.” Jewish Theological Seminary of America, Letter by Louis Finkelstein to Dr. L. E. Froom (of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Feb. 20, 1939. Regarding the present Jewish calendar. This short quote illustrates the Seventh-day Adventist Church had a deep knowledge of the calendar fraud.)

 

“… It appeared an unworthy thing that in the celebration of this most holy feast we should follow the practice of the Jews, who have impiously defiled their hands with enormous sin, and are, therefore, deservedly afflicted with blindness of soul… Let us then have nothing in common with the detestable Jewish crowd; for we have received from our Savior a different way.” Life of Constantine, Eusebius, Vol. 3, Chapter 18, [recorded words of Constantine]

 

     “In AD 351-352 Roman persecution flared and the Jews revolted.  They were soon crushed.  Many Jewish towns were destroyed and decrees issued against the local authorities and against Judaism.  The privileges of the head of the Sanhedrin and the freedoms of the Sanhedrin itself were curtailed.  Roman pressure to conform “Jewish” TIME to Roman TIME had reached crisis level. ibid

     Under this pressure Hillel II agreed to limit the functions of the head of the Sanhedrin, as well as the Sanhedrin itself, with respect to proclaiming the New Moon, setting festival dates, and employing intercalation [inserting the 13^th lunar month].  With the decline of the Jewish power-base in Israel, the Jewish community in Babylon had been rising in influence to fill the vacuum. Hillel II published details informing all Jews of the methods of the [new] calculated calendar developed in Babylon.  From that time on the Sanhedrin in Judea ceased to function or to maintain calendar experts.  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.” Encyclopedia Judaica, s.v. “Hillel”.

 

“The arrangement of the Jewish calendar as used in the time of Christ [Messiah] is no longer operative.  Modern Jews are divided into two classes.  The Karaite Jews, whose numbers are small, reject tradition and the Talmud, observe their feasts and festivals more nearly with those of Christ’s [Yahusha the Messiah’s] time as regards to the true season [mo’edim]. The larger number of Jews follow the Rabbinical Calendar, the product of Rabbi Hillel II and others about 353 A.D. These incorporated into it many of the ancient rules of calculation, but begin their year, and feasts and festivals a month earlier in the season than the Karaites.  We have in 1844 the atonement by the Rabbinical Calendar would be September 23^rd, while by the Karaites it was about that time in October…”  Creation Centered in Christ, by H.G. Guinness, D.D., page 276. Also from Approximate Chronology, H. H. Perry, p. 21-22.

 

#31. Ignore the continued existence of the Rules of Postponement today and the fact that they were never needed before A.D. 358.   

In that year, the Rabbinical Jews were ultimately pressured by Emperor Constantine to change ALL their original Creator-ordained calendar time units. As a result, they adopted the old Babylon dark moon as their New Moon to count to Feast Days but accepted all the other Roman time units, including the continuous floating weekly cycle. To resolve the ensuing chaos and conflict between the two opposing calendar methods (lunar and solar), they created what is known to this day as the Rules of Postponement. This was an absolute necessity to bring an appearance of harmony between their newly altered lunar Feast Day calendar and their new Roman solar continuous weekly cycle. 

The Jews, under the leadership of Hillel II, in A.D. 358, prepared a document that would harmonize their lunar Feast calendar with the solar calendar. For the first time in history, a method to harmonize two opposing calendar models was created and has been utilized to this day by the Jews. Without these rules, their newly adopted Roman week cycles were on a collision course with their Babylonian-styled lunar months, depositing “Saturday Sabbaths” upon every day of the lunar cycle as it floated throughout the year, including New Moon Days and all the annual lunar Feast Days.

These rules were never necessary as long as all time-measuring was counted from the same authorized New Moon Day (the original Standard of Weights and Measures), which always provided an accurate accounting. But now the Jews were faced with synchronizing two opposing calendar systems, their new lunar (although a Babylonian corruption) and the new Roman solar week cycle.

It was Hillel II, head of the Sanhedrin, who finally succumbed to Roman pressure and ruled in A.D. 358 for all time to come to replace the Creator’s Feast Day layout and accommodate the Roman Beast solar calendar and its continuous weekly cycle.

So, to keep their new “Saturday Sabbath” from falling on their pseudo-Passover and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), these rules of postponing the Feast Days by one or two days were implemented. It was determined that if a lunar Feast Day was destined to occur on a Friday or Saturday, it must be Postponed to protect the immovable Saturday at all cost rather than the other way around. Thus, Saturday, the seventh day of a pagan manmade institution, took precedence. 

The Rules of Postponement are NEVER mentioned anywhere in Scripture’s Torah Law, as no remedy was ever needed so long as all-time units are measured from the New Moon. The conflict occurred due to the chaos produced by combining the lunar Feast Days on the solar calendar with a new Sabbath that floated throughout.  The Romans desired the Jews to fully comply within the scope of their captivity. 

The very fact that the Jews utilize these Rules of Postponement to this day is evidence that they mark time on a fraudulent calendar to locate an illegitimate seventh-day Sabbath, which the Romans named Saturday. It illustrates they remain in bondage to Roman influences and remain out of sync with the worship rhythm of their creator.  Thus, it is NEVER to be assumed that the Jews have remained faithful to the Torah Law of Scripture or Yahuah Alahim (H#3068 – YHUH), the Most High. 

To adhere to the modern Jewish dark or crescent New Moon Days, Saturday Sabbaths, or Feast Days today is to abide by these same Rules of Postponement, wholly out of sync with the Creator.  He alone ordained His Standard of Weights and Measures in the beginning. He determined the Full Moon as His start of years and lunar months. His lunar calendar is perfectly divided by His lunar months, lunar weeks, and its days of 1-29 or 30, demarcated by a unique lunar phase.  All of His Feast Days are specific lunar appointed dates. His lunar calendar model remains steadfast.  It has never changed because He never changes. He has no need to follow Constantinian laws, which, in fact, are a sign of disloyalty to Him.

 

#32. Please ignore the historical relevance of the Great Easter Controversy as it related to the faithful followers of Messiah, whom the Romans referred to as Quartodecimen.

These Quartodecimen (fourteeners) tirelessly clung to Passover, the 14th day counted from the New Moon Day, and their Sabbath the following day. This was the pivotal controversy for which the Romans desired to replace Passover the 14th and its next day lunar Sabbath with Good Friday and Easter Sunday. This new arrangement was designed to cause Saturday, for all time thereafter, to “appear” to be the seventh day of the week in Scripture.

“The question relating to the observance of Easter [Passover], which was agitated in the time of Anicetus and Polycarp, and afterwards in that of Victor, was still undecided. It was one of the principal reasons for convoking the council of Nicaea, being the most important subject to be considered after the Arian controversy. It appears that the churches of Syria and Mesopotamia continued to follow the custom of the Jews, and celebrated Easter [Passover] on the fourteenth day of the moon, whether falling on Sunday or not.” A Historical View of the Council of Nice [4th century A.D.], p. 22, translated by Isaac Boyle, D.D.

“There was a considerable discussion raised about this time, in consequence of a difference of opinion respecting the observance of the paschal [Passover] season. The churches of all Asia, guided by a remoter tradition, supposed that they ought to keep the fourteenth day of the moon for the festival of the Savior’s Passover, in which day the Jews were commanded to kill the paschal lamb; and it was incumbent on them, at all times, to make an end of the fast on this day, on whatever day of the [Roman] week it should happen to fall.” The Ecclesiastical History of Eusebius Pamphilus, Bishop of Caesarea, in Palestine [4th century A.D.], translated by Christian Frederick Cruse, D.D., Tenth Edition, Chapter 23, p. 207. 1850.

 

“But notwithstanding the decision of the council [of Nicaea] there were some Quartodecimen, as they were termed; who remained pertinaciously attached to the celebration of Easter [meaning Passover] on the fourteenth of the moon, and among others the Audeans, schismatics of Mesopotamia. They found fault with the council, reproachfully remarking, that this was the first time that the ancient tradition [of properly locating Passover by the moon], through compliance for Constantine, had been departed from.” A Historical View of the Council of Nice [4th century A.D.], p. 23, translated by Isaac Boyle, D.D. New York: Thomas N. Staintford, 637 Broadway, 1856.

 

#33. Please ignore the egregious error in the following famous historical quote utilized by Jews and Seventh-day Adventists alike regarding Saturday or Sunday sacredness.

In this quote, the word Sabbato (Sabbath), the original and authentic Biblical term, was replaced by the Roman planetary name of “Saturday.” This simple manipulation of terms changed the perceived calendar of Scripture from lunar time-measuring to solar in the people’s minds. 

“Christians shall not Judaize and be idle on Saturday, but shall work on that day, but the Lord’s Day [Sunday] they shall especially honor, and as being Christians, shall, if possible, do no work on that day.  If, however, they are found Judaizing, they shall be shut out from Christ.”  Council of Laodicea, Canon 29

This misleading quote is motivated by Saturday keeping Jewish and Christian leaders alike to support their Saturday Sabbath paradigm. Then, it is sold to the people to keep them locked into believing Saturday has always been the holy and ordained seventh-day Sabbath as found on a Roman (Beast) calendar week.  Yet nothing could be further from the truth.  Below is the original text. 

“Quod non oportet Christianos Judaizere et otiare in Sabbato, sed operari in eodem die. Preferentes autem in veneratione Dominicum Diem si vacre voluerint, ut Christiani hoc faciat; quod si reperti fuerint Judaizere Anathema sint a Christo.”  Council of Laodicea, Canon 29

The original word in this partial quote is “Sabbato,” which has been replaced by the term “Saturni” or “Saturday.”  Sabbato and Saturday have never been synonymous terms for the same days of the same week or calendar.  Strikingly, these terms identify the seventh day of two completely opposing calendar week styles.  One calendar is solar-based, and the other is lunar-based.  Each has a weekly cycle of seven days.  The Roman week cycles without end, while the Biblical lunar week cycle is broken by the New Moon Day every lunar month. This misguided quote is further illustrated and explained in the article, Constantine and the Week.

     “…The Sabbath which came down to the Jews from pre-hisoric times [prior to Moses] was the seventh day of the lunar week. The lunar week and the lunar month gave the simplest form of time division to early man… Moon and month meant the same thing. The division of the month into four weeks of seven days…and the weekly division begun again at the time of the next new moon. The change from the lunar week to the seven-day week running continuously through the year, while a momentous change, was [purposely] unrecorded. The use of two styles of weeks seems to have existed together, and the more modern seven-day week slowly, but finally, supplanted its ancient…competitor. The lunar week was simple and serviceable… When the continuous seven-day week was generally accepted, then it was linked with the past, as we now date events before Christ by a scale unknown to the people and historians of those times… The lunar Sabbath was succeeded by the seven-day weekly Sabbath without confusion, and the mention of the Sabbath in Exodus 31:13 and elsewhere may be taken to refer to the lunar day.” Sunday the World’s Rest Day, “The Sabbath, the Day Which Divine Love Established and Human Love Must preserve,” Theodore Gilman, p. 479.  Published for the New York Sabbath Committee, Doubleday, Page and Company, New York, 1916.”

So the question is, why haven’t the Theologians and church scholars put a stop to the promotion of this lie? Might it be that the lie is necessary to support their current calendar paradigm, sacred days, Roman worship rhythm, and the continuous flow of tithes and offerings? 

 

#34. Please ignore that for three months in a row, when the Israelites were being led out of Egyptian bondage, the seventh-day Sabbaths consistently fell on the 8^th, 15^th, 22^nd, and 29^th days, as counted from the New Moon Day. Three Months in a Row Part 1-4

In part four, you will discover that not just for the first three months but for all 40 years, the seventh-day Sabbaths always fell on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th days of every lunar month. 

1. Part 1 – Exodus 12:1-6, The Exodus and First Month in a Row
2. Part 2 – Exodus 16:1-2, The Manna and the Second Month in a Row
3. Part 3 – Exodus 19:1-2, The Mountain and Third Month in a Row
4. Part 4 – Joshua 5:10-12, Forty Years Later Entering the Promised Land

 

#35. Ignore that the manna always fell with a double portion on the specific lunar dates each month on the 7^th, 14^th, 21^st, and 28^th days for the entire forty years the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness. Each of these dates represents the day before the Sabbath. Three Months in a Row Part 1-4

 

#36. Please ignore the fact that in every place in Scripture where the Seventh-day Sabbaths are attached to a calendar date, they occur consistently on either the 8^th, 15^th, 22^nd, or 29^th day of the lunar month.

For the list of the 19 occurrences, refer to this full article, as each requires an explanation. Sabbath’s Consistent Lunar Month Dates.

 

#37. You must ignore that the day in Scripture, ruled by the sun, begins at sunrise and ends at sunset.

Our Messiah said, “Are there not twelve hours in the day.” John 11:9. The modern Jews refuse to utilize this evidence because they are opposed to Him and have altered every unit of time-measuring according to their own rebellious desires. They even added Friday night to the sacred hours to cause it to appear that the day begins at sunset. 

In further contrast to the modern Jews, a full 24-hour calendar date begins at sunrise and ends the following sunrise. Many have followed the ways of the modern Jews in beginning their day at sunset, believing they must have been faithfully honoring the sacred calendar all these years. But neither sect of the Jews adheres to the calendar of the Torah Law, and neither is interested in change or in what the Messiah said in the New Testament with regard to the twelve-hour day followed or the night watches. Yet, to fully restore the Creator’s Calendar, it is imperative to understand that the day, as ruled by the sun, begins at sunrise and ends at sunset.  Then, the daylight is followed by the night to complete a 24-hour civil calendar date.

#38. Seventh-day Adventists must ignore that their most honored date for the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) of October 22, 1844, was the 10^th day counted from the Karaite Jew’s Seventh Lunar Month that year.

 

Only after two failed attempts at pinpointing the RETURN of the Messiah did William Miller and Samuel Snow learn that the calendar upon which the prophecies were first given must be the same one used for their fulfillment. As a result, they changed their tactics and counted from the Karaite New Moon in the spring to the 10th day of the Seventh Lunar Month (Ethanim) for locating the Day of Atonement (in the fall) that year.

This 10th day of the Seventh Lunar Month was then translated into solar terms with the modern Roman calendar date of October 22, 1844. Although William Miller failed again to pinpoint the end of the 2,300-day prophecy and the return of the Messiah, only the solar date lives on within the Seventh-day Adventist Church, void of its actual lunar dating. Seventh-day Adventists remain unaware that their time-honored October 22, 1844, Day of Atonement event can only be found according to lunar time. 

Whether this is comprehended or ignored by S.D.A. theologians, clergy, or church members, Scripture counts all of its holy seventh-day Sabbaths from each Full New Moon Day in addition to its years and months. Leviticus 23:5, Isaiah 66:23, Psalms 104:19.             

“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 omitted by Ellen White and Willie White from the 1911 version of the same book.  Also published in the Advent Herald, Boston, March 1850.)

These words of William Miller, as originally recorded in the Advent Herald, Boston, March 1850, and the 1888 version of the Great Controversy Between Christ and Satan, reveal His advanced knowledge that the Biblical Hebrew year began with the first New Moon after the Vernal Equinox in spring. He then declared that the 2,300-day prophecy that commenced with this same ancient [lunar] time-measuring method must, of necessity, conform to the same [lunar] method to its close. This means the same calendar in which the prophecies were given must be the same calendar utilized at their fulfillment.

Did He get it right in concept? YES!  As that is the consistency with which the Eternal Father accomplishes His purposes. This may be the most important fact that William Miller brought to the prophetic table. 

Interestingly, as a side note, that same year, in 1844, the Rabbinical Jewish Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) occurred the previous month, on September 23. So, there was a disparity of 29 days between the Karaite Jews’ Yom Kippur and that of the Rabbinical Jews’ Yom Kippur. Yet, in the end, neither Jewish sect could have provided the correct Day of Atonement results that Miller sought.

Since the lunar method is actually how October 22, 1844, was determined, not only should S.D.A.’s continue to honor the lunar arrangement of time with its Feast Day appointments discovered by Miller to be pivotal in the fulfillment of Bible Prophecy, but all the New Moon Days and lunar Sabbaths as well, as they are forever linked one with the other, never to be separated. 

For more on why this lunar evidence, as brought forth by the narrative of William Miller, was removed from the 1911 version of the book The Great Controversy by Ellen White and her son W. C. White, refer to the article, The Great Easter Controversy Cover Up.

The two most significant points to come out of William Miller’s 1844 message are that the Feast Days are still binding (i.e., Day of Atonement and all the others) and that they are based upon the same Old Testament Torah Law’s lunar time-measuring model from prophecy to fulfillment.  

#39. You must ignore that David and Jonathan were expected for a special New Moon dinner with King Saul on the night of the Full Moon and the night following the New Moon Day.

The two meals behaved as bookends for the New Moon Day, a single-day HOLY (Kadosh) event sandwiched between two commemorative evening meals. There is absolutely no evidence for the theory of two New Moon Days back to back, as the Rabbinical Jews teach today. Tomorrow is the New Moon

 

#40. You must ignore the parameters given in 1 Chronicles 24:7-18 with regard to the 24 Kohen course divisions designed so the Priests would serve two terms in the year for a week at a time from Sabbath to Sabbath.

This outlines 48 weeks in the regular lunar year, according to the Temple services. We are not advised as to how this worked during a thirteen-month year. This system was instituted by King David and honored while Yasharal (Israel) remained faithful to the covenant. It would be impossible to apply this Biblical arrangement to the popular Roman Gregorian solar calendar year, as it consistently contains 52 weeks each year.
#41. Please ignore that this same Prophetic Kohen Course arrangement set up by King David reveals the actual date of our Messiah’s Birth.

It has been there all along but only appreciated by those willing to step off the hamster wheel of celebrating Christmas, the popular pagan holiday and birthday of all pagan gods, which continues to keep good folks blind to the truths of Scripture and locked up tight in Babylon/Roman time-measuring captivity. Our Messiah’s True Prophetic Birthday 

#42. You must ignore Amos 8:5, which records the Children of Yasharal (Israel) complaining, saying, “When will the New Moon be passed that we may sell corn and the Sabbath that we may buy wheat?”

The only reason for complaining is that both the Full New Moon Day and the Sabbath Day are sacred days, preventing them from doing business and cheating the people.  When Will the New Moon and Sabbath be Past?

#43. You must ignore the verse where the Shunamite woman’s husband asks, “Why are you going to Him (Elisha the prophet), it is neither the New Moon nor the Sabbath?” 2 Kings 4:23.

This verse reveals in the husband’s remarks that both the New Moon Day and Sabbath are Kadosh (holy, sacred, and set-apart) days.  2 Kings 4:23

 

#44. You must ignore the verse in Revelation that says the New Moon regulates the Tree of Life.

As mentioned earlier, every time the word “month” is used in either the Torah Law (Old Testament) or the Brit Hadasha (New Testament), it always refers to lunar months. Refer back to #4 and #11 above. The New Moon Regulates the Tree of Life.

“In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month [lunar month]: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” Revelation 22:2

 

#45. You must ignore Leviticus 23 and Philo’s statements about the largest Feasts beginning on the Sabbath of the 15^th in the spring and on the Sabbath of the 15^th in the autumn.

This important historic statement reveals a time-tested and STANDARDIZED truth: the seventh-day Sabbaths of Scripture are lunar, counting 15 days from the First New Moon Day in spring and 15 days from the Seventh New Moon Day in fall. 

Utilizing these two historic criteria, it is an easy thing to test to see if the  Saturday Sabbath of a continuous weekly cycle is ordained by Yahuah Alahim (God) or not. Do both the spring and fall Feast Days of the lunar count fall on both the Saturday and the 15^th of their respective months each and every year?  No!  As it turns out, it is an impossibility. Ironically, this is hard evidence that, indeed, the seventh-day Sabbaths are mo’edim (#4150), specific lunar appointed dates.

Not surprisingly, it is easily demonstrated that both the spring Feast of Unleavened Bread and the fall Feast of Tabernacles commence on the lunar Sabbath of the 15th of every year, as is required. Only the lunar calendar model with lunar seventh-day Sabbaths meets the required standard set forth by Philo in this quote.

“But to the seventh-day of the week He [YHUH] has assigned the greatest festivals, those of the longest duration, at the periods of the equinox both vernal and autumnal in each year; appointing TWO festivals for these two epochs, each lasting seven days; the one which takes place in the spring being for the perfection of what is being sown, and the one which falls in autumn being a feast of thanksgiving for the bringing home of all the fruits which the trees have produced.” F.H. Colson’s translation of Philo’s THE DECALOGUE XXX (159)

Referring to the quote above, let’s look carefully at what Philo is saying. “But to the seventh day of the week, He [YHUH] has assigned the greatest festivals.” In other words, the greatest (longest) festivals have been assigned to the seventh day of the week, Sabbath the 15th. This is the date and Sabbath upon which both the spring and fall Feast Days commence.  We know both of these seven-day Feasts begin on the Sabbath of the 15th. Philo goes on to say that each of these two lunar months (the first and the seventh) should receive the special honor of one sacred day of the festival for the purpose of refreshing and clearing the mind with its holiday.

Notice he did not say they would receive two sacred days of festivals but one, the 15th. To prove the seventh day of the week is the same as the 15th, elsewhere Philo states, “Again the beginning of this feast is appointed for the fifteenth day of the month (or seventh day of the week) on account of the reason which has already been mentioned respecting the Spring season might receive special honor of one sacred day of the festival.”

In other words, Philo is saying the weekly Sabbath highlights these two seven-day feasts on the 15th of their respective months each year. This is evidence that the Sabbaths are counted according to the lunar calendar because there is no way the [modern] continuous weekly cycle with its Sabbath can consistently commence these two festivals on the 15th in both the 1st and 7th month of each year. In fact, it never occurs. This only works within the parameters of a lunar month and its count to each of the four Sabbaths, and not with the Gregorian calendar with its continuous weekly cycle. Refer to the article, Passover to Tabernacles Calendar Challenge.

 

#46. If you don’t believe Sabbaths are mo’edim (H#4150 – specific lunar appointed dates), then you must ignore Hosea 2:11, which defines that when Israel was unfaithful, Yahuah removed the sacred oracles from their guardianship. Note what He removed because of their unfaithfulness.

והשׁבתיH7673 כלH3605 משׂושׂהH4885 חגהH2282 חדשׁהH2320 ושׁבתהH7676 וכלH3605 מועדה׃H4150   Hosea 2:11

“I [Yahuah] will also cause all her mirth to cease, Her sacrifices, Her New Moons, Her Sabbaths, and ALL her appointed feasts [H#4150 mo’edim – specific lunar appointed dates].” Hosea 2:11

Later, the oracles of truth were restored for a while, including during the life of our Messiah. Then, after His crucifixion, Paul spells it out in Colossians 2:16-17, defining the continuance of the Torah Law as defined in the dietary laws, the lunar appointed Feast Days, New Moon days, and lunar Sabbath days. These were established prophetically to illustrate the continued redemptive work of the Messiah for our Salvation in the courts above until His Feast Days are fulfilled at the Second Coming. Therefore, don’t let anyone deter you from honoring Yahuah Alahim and the Messiah in this regard because these things are the prophetic outline of the Plan of Salvation. Here is what it actually says:

“So let no one judge your [obedience] regarding  food or in drink, or [your obedience] regarding a festival or a New Moon or Sabbaths, which are a [prophetic] shadows of things to come, but [in which] the substance is of the Messiah.” Colossians 2:16-17

Paul was speaking to the Colossian assembly, admonishing them to continue obedience with regard to the dietary laws, the Plan of Salvation made plain through the time-centric Feast Day celebrations, the New Moon Days for measuring time and honoring the original and authentic lunar seventh-day Sabbaths.  All of this was detailed to them as they were surrounded by pagan ideology, pagan myths and holidays, and the taunts of unbelievers.

But since the time of Constantine (A.D. 325), this verse in Colossians was given an opposite spin by the Christian churches. They determined it to mean something more like this, “Let no one judge you because you no longer are faithful to these, but only need Jesus Christ, who is the real substance.” They had to do it to remain consistent with their chosen calendar model and their allegiance to Rome. 

Bar none, these examples of the knowledge of the sacred lunar calendar being removed from those who are unfaithful remain consistent today.  No doubt Yahuah has allowed its removal for His design and purposes, but now He is calling all those who desire salvation, those who have “eyes to see and ears to hear,” to come out of the false doctrines of Babylon, Egypt, and Rome, and be restored and synchronized to His worship rhythms.  All the criteria lend to the tune and rhythm of the dance, the sacred dance of the Bride and the Bridegroom, according to TRUE LOVE & FAITHFULNESS.

 

#47. Ignore that the Exodus from Egyptian bondage occurred:

1) On the morrow after Passover of the 14^th

2) on the 15^th of the lunar month,

3) by night,

4) and after the Sabbath hours were over.

(Numbers 33:2-3, Deuteronomy 16:1, Exodus 13:3-7).

This identifies that the seventh day Sabbaths during the month of the Exodus occurred on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of that first month of the lunar year.  They neither left by night on the 14th nor by daylight on the 15th, but Yahuah Alahim led His people out by night that followed the daylight of the Sabbath on the 15th.

 

#48. You must ignore what the Septuagint version of Exodus 16:1 says about the 15^th day when the Children of Yasharal (Israel) murmured and complained of hunger in the second lunar month of their journey out of Egypt.

Here is the Septuagint version of this account illustrating they did not actually arrive or travel on the 15^th but arrived on the 14^th and set up camp,  and then they murmured and complained on the 15^th.

“And they departed from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai; and on the fifteenth day, in the second month after their departure from the land of Egypt, all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron.” Exodus 16: 1, 2 Septuagint

This illustrates that for the second month in a row, the Sabbaths occurred upon the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th days of the lunar month. Remember, this is impossible with the Roman Gregorian solar calendar model.  

 

#49. Please ignore that on the evening of the 15th of the second lunar month, Yahuah Alahim provided the Yasharlites (Israelites) quail after sunset when the Sabbath hours were passed, and the next morning, on the 16^th, manna was provided for the very first time. Three Months in a Row – Part 2 – The Manna

Exodus 16:8

 

#50. Please ignore that a single day’s portion of manna was provided for five days, beginning the count on the 16^th day of the second lunar month, but on the sixth day of that week (the 21st day of the lunar month), a double portion was provided to be used for that day and the seventh-day Sabbath.

Because the date of the 15^th is provided, we can deduce that all the Sabbaths for the second month in a row occurred on the 8^th, 15^th, 22^nd, and 29^th dates of the lunar month. Three Months in a Row – Part 2 – The Manna

 

#51. You must ignore that every year for the entire forty years in the wilderness, the Children of Yasharal (Israel) celebrated Passover on the 14^th day counted from the New Moon Day, in which the seventh-day Sabbath followed on the 15^th.

This sequence of days is consistent for the entire forty years. It cannot be refuted. Might this be a wake-up call to those who have held tenaciously to the Saturday Sabbath?  Clinging to a fraudulent day of worship just because your paradigm, as taught by your church organization or synagogue, teaches this is not worth losing your salvation over.  Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around. Three Months in a Row – Part 4 – Forty Years Later 

 

#52. Please ignore that when the Children of Yasharal (Israel) finally entered the Promised Land, they celebrated Passover on the 14^th, receiving the double portion of manna for the last time.

On the next day, the 15^th, they ate the manna with some grain from the fields, and on the 16^th of that lunar month of Abib, the manna ceased forever.  Joshua 5:10-12 Three Months in a Row – Part 4 – Forty Years Later  

Although the New Moon Day is not mentioned in the manna narrative (most likely removed by the Jews and/or Romans), it is self-evident that it remained in place and steadfast throughout the wilderness wandering. How can we know?  Because that is the only way that each month can have the same day count with the seventh-day Sabbath falling on the exact same dates consistently from lunar month to lunar month for 40 years.

 

#53. You must ignore that New Moon Day was a fasting day. New Moon Day is not included in the manna feeding schedule because it is a designated “fast” day once a month.

“Each New Moon was celebrated with a fast.” Jewish Family Celebrations, p. 35.

“…The sacred festival of the new moon, which people give notice of with trumpets, and the day of fasting, on which abstinence from all meats and drinks is enjoined…”  Philo, Vol. 26, p. 159.

 

#54. Don’t forget to ignore that each of the four Gospel writers consistently calls the 16^th day of the month, following Passover the 14th, when the Messiah was resurrected, “the first day of the week.”

This reality is NOT because it was a “Sunday,” but because the previous day was always the seventh-day Sabbath, dated the 15th. 

Every place Passover is mentioned, the following day was the seventh-day Sabbath. Throughout the New Testament, the seventh day Sabbath consistently occurs on the 8^th, 15^th, 22^nd, and 29^th of the month of Abib. Matthew 281, Mark 16:2, Luke 241, John 20:1, 19. Three Days and Three Nights, the Sign of Jonah Riddle Solved.

 

#55. You must ignore that the sun rules alone by daylight from sunrise to sunset along the east-west time continuum, comprising a twelve-hour day as measured on a sundial (Genesis 1:16).

The moon and stars rule together by night from sunset to sunrise one night only, along the same east-west time continuum, completing the second half of a 24-hour civil calendar date. Each of these heavenly lights was ordained to rule while they were visible. Therefore, a Day (daylight) is only measured when the sun is present and visible, and the night is only measured when the stars are present and visible. But it is the full moon, together with the starry constellations, that announces New Year’s Day and each of the following lunar months. They accomplish this when the full moon rules from east to west, with the stars by night.  A Day in Genesis,  also Sunrise or Sunset, When Does the Day Begin?

 

#56. Also, ignore Leviticus 23:5 because, like a GPS, it places Passover every year on the fourteenth day counted from the New Moon of the first month of the lunar year.

This is then synchronized to other verses that place this same Passover date on the sixth day of the second-week cycle. This three-part harmony determines that the week is arranged consistently within a lunar month. As a result, the following day is always the seventh-day Sabbath, the 15^th, as found on a lunar calendar.

“On the fourteenth day of the first month [H#2320 – Chodesh – חדשׁ – lunar month, New Moon], between the evenings is Yahuah’s Passover.” Leviticus 23:5

Month of Year	First lunar month (H#2320 – Chodesh – חדשׁ – lunar month, New Moon).  It’s never a solar month.  Leviticus 23:5
Day of Month	14th Day counted from the New Moon.  Leviticus 23:5
Day of Week	6th Day of second lunar week (the preparation day) Mark 15:42, John 19:31; John 19:42.

 

#57. Ignore that Easter Sunday, the holiest day of the year for Christians, both the Roman Catholic and  Protestant churches, was of necessity nailed to the moon by Emperor Constantine in A.D. 325.

Why on earth would Constantine nail Easter to the moon for all time to come, especially after Julius Caesar had removed all Roman units of time from the moon and all its lunar phases?  As it turns out, this was done to ensure that the newly crafted, most sacred Roman holiday, Easter Sunday, would never overlap or land on the Jewish lunar Passover. And because Passover is only found on a lunar calendar model, the only way to avoid it was to place Easter on the same lunar calendar as well. As a result, since the introduction of Easter Sunday, it has been consistently located on a lunar calendar. Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the first Full Moon, which follows the Vernal Equinox.

Ironically, this fact is one of the greatest pieces of evidence that the Hebrew calendar was indeed lunar, all because Constantine went to such great lengths to ensure Easter never landed on Passover. It also identifies Easter as a manmade system in full opposition to the Torah Laws of Scripture and Yahuah Alahim, the Most High. It was designed to replace Passover, the 14th day counted from the New Moon Day, the most sacred day of the lunar year, and Feast Days. 

“At the Council of Nice [Nicaea] the last thread was snapped which connected  Christianity to its parent stock [Romanism detached from the Jews and by extension severed itself from the Messiah and the Torah Law].  The festival of Easter had up till now been celebrated for the most part at the same time as the Jewish Passover, and indeed upon the days calculated and fixed by the Synhedrion [Sanhedrin] in Judea for its celebration; but in future its observance was to be rendered altogether independent of the Jewish calendar. ‘For it is unbecoming beyond measure that on this holiest of festivals we should follow the customs of the Jews.  Henceforward, let us have nothing in common with this odious people; our Savior has shown us another path.  It would indeed be absurd if the Jews were able to boast that we are not in a position to celebrate the Passover without the aid of their rules.‘ These remarks are attributed to the Emperor Constantine . . . [and became] the guiding principle of the Church, which was now to decide the fate of the Jews [and their original time-measuring system].’” Heinrich Graetz, History of the Jews, Vol. II, pp. 563-564.

 

“In 325 CE the Council of Nice [Nicaea] was held… This council made no practical change in the “existing civil calendar,” but addressed itself to the reform of the Church calendar… Great disputes had arisen as to the time of celebrating Easter. Moreover, the Church was not fully established, many Christians [Messiah followers] being still simply Jewish sectarians. A new rule was therefore made, which, while still keeping Easter dependent on the moon, prevented it from coinciding with Passover.” Jewish Encyclopedia.com, the unedited full-text of the 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia, “History of the Calendar,” “Talmudic Period,” by Joseph Jacobs, Cyrus Adler, Vol. 3, p. 500.

 

#58. Please ignore that from beginning to end, only one REMEDY for sin has been provided through the merits of our Messiah for fallen mankind.

This promise and provision are irrefutably ordained and linked to the dual arrangement of LUNAR TIME & EVENT, as born out symbolically in the Temple ceremony narrative according to the lunar phase arrangement. Astro-luni-solar time is the only system in the heavens, beyond the reach of man or beast, that demarcates each day numerically according to the moon and its own unique lunar phase beacons. No other mechanism could provide mankind’s detailed restorative rhythm back to the Eternal Father or provide the avenue whereby we may synchronize our soul temples to His in the ultimate dance of At-one-ment. All this is for the eternal praise and worship of both the Father and Son, “who first loved us” and paid it all for our eternal outcome.

#59. Please ignore Isaiah 8:20 as it correlates the Old Testament (Tanakh) promise with the New Testament (Brit Hadasha) promise as found in Revelation 14:12, defining the parameters of the faithful throughout the ages and even unto the Second Coming.

It is a foundational truth that any person or organization that changes or removes either portion of Isaiah 8:20 or Revelation 14:12 from its two-legged model will find themselves outside the boundaries of the PLAN OF SALVATION. Shockingly, both the Christians of all denominations and the Jews of both sects have removed portions from both legs of the Isaiah 8:20 model, cutting and splicing up the Torah Law and the Testimony of the Messiah to their liking. Here are the verses that have been ignored or dismissed by Jews and Christians alike. 

Compare the following two verses, one from the Old Testament Tanakh and the other from the New Testament Brit Hadasha.

“To the Torah Law [instructions] and to the Testimony [Plan of Salvation born out in the Feast Days and performed by the Messiah alone]: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light [Torah truth] in them.” Isaiah 8:20

 

“Here is the shalom (peace) of the zadok (righteous); here are those who keep the COMMANDMENTS [TORAH LAW] of Alahim/Elohim and trust in [the lunar Feast Day ministerial work of] Jesus  [Yahusha the Messiah].”  Revelation 14:12

Although never discussed in any of these organizations, these two verses are mirror images of each other, containing the constraints and criteria of Yahuah Alahim and His Son for the RESTORATION OF MANKIND. These define who will be saved and who will be lost.  NEWS FLASH!!! The Torah Law was never done away with. It contains the moral code of the Ten Commandments and the calendar upon which the pathway unto Salvation is laid.

 

The Mark of the Beast is Coming Soon

 

The Provision of Yahuah Alahim’s Seal

Only Yahusha, the authentic Messiah who laid down His life for you and me, remains the REMEDY FOR SIN AND THE MARK OF THE BEAST. PASSOVER, with its original lunar calendar DATE-STAMPED to the 14^th day, counted from the New Moon Day in spring, identifies the exact day, fulfills the promise, and presents the true ordained sacrificial LAMB, YAHUSHA HAMASHIACH.  He arose again on the lunar date of the 16^th when the night was nearly over. In contrast, the imposter Jesus Christ died on Good Friday of the Roman calendar and rose on Easter Sunday after sunrise. Neither in name nor date are the ordained symbols of the REMEDY FOR SIN found in Jesus Christ, as none carry the promise or provision of PASSOVER.

PASSOVER the 14^th alone carries the blood-stained trail of promise from the beginning in Eden to the end of time. Only His blood-stained Robe of Righteousness will cover His faithful followers. 

By what method does His Robe of Righteousness cover these? They must respond to the Father’s call, wake up, and synchronize their soul temples to the rhythm of His sacred TIMES and prophetic EVENTS. They must diligently seek faithfulness to restore His authentic sacred names and lunar calendar model, including His sacred New Moon Days, lunar Sabbaths, and specific lunar appointed Feast Dates.

This will prepare them to stand on Mount Zion (His kingdom government) with Him and sing the song of Moses and the Lamb, the song of victory over the beast and his image, and over all the lies that Satan has crafted.  Never has such a song been sung, as it is the great finale of the momentous struggle between good and evil. YAHUAH (YHUH), the Eternal Father, and YAHUSHA haMashiach’s character is now fully vindicated before the universe, and His faithful, obedient, and redeemed of the earth are rescued. Together, they will live in perfect harmony for all eternity. HALLELUYAH!!!  Passover’s Blood-Stained Trail of Promise
