Today, more than ever before, Yahuah’s followers are called upon to compare each doctrinal view to the Scriptural standard. He has promised He will lead those who seek, with all their hearts, into the fullness of His truth. All are held accountable to the Berean model to study the Scriptures daily to see if these things are so. This means being willing first to hear the message and secondly to compare it with Scripture’s record.  After all the evidence is gathered for or against a subject, it must be decided upon as to which side lies the weight of evidence.

In the mid-14th Century, John Wycliffe, the morning star of the Reformation, stood in the gap for truth as he understood it. He believed truth must be firmly founded on the rock of Scripture. In meeting the opposition of his day, he coined the phrase “Sola Scriptura,” meaning that all doctrine must be based on Scripture alone. Our Eternal Father’s ordained standard for all law and all units of time reckoning receives its foundation from the Most High Eternal Father, yet recorded by men chosen by Yahuah and collected within the pages of Scripture. There alone has it been preserved and protected by an unseen hand, but only in the original Hebrew text. The Savior’s promise that not one jot or tittle shall pass from the Law until all is fulfilled refers specifically to the Hebrew text itself—not to the later translations that, through error and alteration, have sown chaos and confusion within the intended Word of Yahuah.

Scripture’s Weight of Evidence

No less than fourteen Scripture references reveal that the Creator’s Calendar is based on the orchestration of the sun, moon, and stars working together with precision as ordained at creation (Genesis 1:14-18).  The current Roman Gregorian calendar, so popular today, which utilizes the continuous weekly cycle, is reckoned solely by the sun, in direct defiance of the Creator’s appointed three-part celestial system.  This artificial timekeeping system was intended for worshiping the planetary gods and was the foundation of sun worship in antiquity.  

The sun, moon, and stars’ orbits have continued with the precision of a Swiss clock, untouched, unaltered, and unmoved by man or beast since the first week of creation. However, the role appointed for the moon and the stars for lunar appointed time-keeping has been hidden under a dark shroud of deceit for nearly 1,700 years. Only now, at this late hour, are these truths coming to light.

In opposition to evolution’s pompous theory, these heralds of truth from antiquity, remaining visibly observable to all upon the earth, gallantly declare that Yahusha is the Son of Yahuah and Creator of the Universe. The sun, moon, and stars declare a literal six days of creation and a seventh-day Sabbath, as it is still a living witness, testifying of the Creator to this day. There is no such Scriptural evidence for the unbroken chain of successive weeks continuing since Creation that can be produced, demonstrated, visibly observable in the heavens, or accounted for astronomically.

Amazingly, many declare that the week is disconnected from the celestial bodies, which is evidence that it was ordained that way as the sign of the seven days of creation. Yet, if we look a little closer, we discover that the Creator ordained the sun, moon, and stars to determine all the units of time (Genesis 1:14-18). Thus, the modern unbroken cycling week is not the fruit of our Creator’s lunar appointed time model. Rather, it is discovered to be the illegitimate child of Rome, a mere witty invention of man. 

Simply, no one on earth today was a living witness to Creation. Scripture remains silent as to any evidence for an unbroken, continuous weekly cycle being appointed at creation. All we are left with is an assumption that the weekly cycle, as demonstrated in the Roman Gregorian calendar, has been consistent since that first week of creation.

In contrast to this prevalent assumption, Psalms 89:37 states that “the moon is the trustworthy witness in the sky.” So what is it a witness to? It testifies to a consistent calendar highlighted by the ruling full moon. It was designed to rule by night together with the stars, 180 degrees opposite the sun. It arises in the east and visibly rules the entire night along the east-west time continuum. It was designed to mark the start of the YEAR, the lunar MONTH, the count to lunar Sabbaths, and the demarcation of 29-30 days according to the designated order of each unique lunar phase. It is the ordained framework for which prophecy is determined in advance and fulfilled in history.  Without it, the Plan of Salvation to be accomplished by our Messiah alone, as presented in the Sanctuary and Temple lunar appointed ceremonies, would not have had any merit. So predominantly, the moon’s consistent witness testifies as a banner ever waving to declare Redemption’s Story.

It will be established forever like the moon, the trustworthy witness in the sky. Psalms 89:37    

And when the debate is, they shall stand in my (hemispherical) domes, and shall consider and believe my laws; and they shall keep my commandments in all my solemnities, and they shall hallow my Sabbaths. Ezekiel 44:24 Wycliffe Bible of 1382

Three Months in a Row, The Exodus, the Manna, and the Mountain

The story of the manna reveals that while Sunday is not the seventh-day Sabbath, neither is Saturday. Everyone knows that the Gregorian calendar will never have more than two identical sequential months in a row. The only time it can occur is in a leap year. Amazing though it may be, Exodus 12, 16, and 19 outline not just two but three identical, sequential months in a row.  The full New Moon refreshes the cycle of four lunar weeks and their respective Sabbaths each and every month. Scripture does not recognize any form of calendar other than astro-luni-solar.  Therefore, the unbroken, continuous weekly cycle is not supported in Scripture. 

However, this phenomenon did not occur for only three months in a row, but every month during the forty years in the wilderness, as recorded in Joshua 5:10-12.  It ended forty years after the first manna was given in the wilderness. That day was the 16^th day of the first month of Abib, the day after the Sabbath. It highlights that all these years later, it is still in sync with the lunar cycle of time, with the Sabbaths continuing to fall on the 8^th, 15^th, 22^nd, and 29^th of each month.  Refer to the full article, Three Months in a Row.

 
The Time Frame Between Passover and Tabernacles

Scripture’s calendation model is the Creator’s ordained standard for all calendation and units of time. Whether or not one keeps the sacred appointed Feast Days is irrelevant to one’s part in defining the true calendar of Scripture. The Sabbath days from the Spring Festival to the Fall Festival expose weighty evidence that unbroken cycles of successive weeks have not existed since creation. The reason is that Leviticus 23 clarifies that both the spring Feast of Unleavened Bread and the fall Feast of Tabernacles are both seventh-day Sabbaths yearly. Yet, using a Gregorian calendar with its cycling weeks and Saturdays, one cannot synchronize these two dates to both occur on Saturdays. Amazing evidence reveals that this unbroken cycle of weeks cannot stay in harmony with Scripture for 6,000 years, six months, or six weeks, for the very reason the New Moon Day exists as a third kind of day, and as it refreshes the cycle of lunar weeks each month. Refer to the article, Passover to Tabernacles Calendar Challenge.

The Value Scripture Places on Full New Moons

The term New Moon (according to Strong’s Concordance: Chodesh #2320, #3394, #3842, #7720, #4582, #3391, #3376) is given approximately 300 times between Genesis and Revelation as compared to the seventh-day Sabbath, which is given approximately 150 times. According to Scripture, this full New Moon is the most significant lunar phase among all the lunar phases. Working in partnership with the sun, this lunar phase is Yahuah’s predominant time principle that rules in the shamayim. This is because it reveals that the new month begins the next morning at sunrise; it establishes the layout and counts four weeks of six literal days, followed by a seventh-day Sabbath with predetermined lunar calendar dates for each month. Also, the full New Moon defines the first day of each year, as it marks the first day of spring.

The sighting of the full New Moon tells us not only that the next day is New Moon day, but it is by counting from New Moon day that each date receives its placement. Each month, the 2nd of the month is always the first day of the first week, while the 8th of the month is always a seventh-day Sabbath, followed by three more successive weeks. Therefore, it is only by counting from the New Moon that Yahuah’s true seventh-day Sabbath is found. The Creator’s lunisolar month and its four corresponding weeks have been the ongoing target of Lucifer’s unending attacks. If the real truth were leaked out regarding the importance Yahuah places on the New Moon, Lucifer’s mask would fall off, exposing him and his mastermind of deception, the Roman Gregorian calendar, and its unbroken-cycle-of-weeks. 

 
Sabbath’s Consistent Monthly Dates

Scripture’s timekeeping and calendation are the standards by which we are to compare each calendar, including the Roman Gregorian, and not the other way around. In every instance where dates are provided in Scripture to identify Sabbaths, they are, without exception, located on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of the month. The Temple/Sanctuary services protected the true astro-luni-solar calendar among the Israelites.

If the modern Gregorian calendar were in harmony with Scripture, it would reflect all units of time as beaconed from the Creator’s celestial timepiece. If it were, every month would begin with the New Moon Day, followed by four successive weeks and Sabbaths. Each month would look the same as the last, and the cycle of weeks would begin afresh each month. The only difference between one lunar month and another is that half of the months of each astro-luni-solar year are 29 days in length, and the other half are 30. But this has no effect whatever on the layout and count to each week and Sabbath.

The modern Gregorian calendar can never have more than two identical months in a row. This is because its months are of various lengths and adhere to a system of unbroken weekly cycles. As stated earlier, this is only possible with an astro-luni-solar calendar model because the New Moon refreshes not only the cycle of days each lunation but also refreshes the cycle of weeks. Refer to the full article, Sabbath’s Consistent Monthly Dates.

Three Kinds of Days Each Month

Perhaps it is because Genesis 1 defines that there are only two kinds of days within a week, workdays and Sabbaths, that it has been assumed that weeks cycle without end. However, profound evidence is revealed within the same Scriptures that weekly cycles are broken each and every month with the occurrence of New Moon day, the third kind of day that exists each lunar month. From cover to cover, the collective Scriptures illustrate that months are lunar and are beaconed by the New Moon. Therefore, all Scriptural months contain three kinds of days, not just two, as illustrated in Ezekiel 46:1.

 

The Twelve Criteria of the True Crucifixion Date

Twelve criteria illustrate point by point the time-centric details of Scripture’s calendation at the time of the crucifixion of the Savior. Yahusha, as the lamb of Yahuah, fulfilled the Passover sacrifice, both as to the event and the time. Each of the twelve elements of time surrounding the details of the crucifixion of the Messiah declares three things. First and foremost, Yahusha was the true Messiah, the Passover lamb who takes away the world’s sin. Second, they declare the Scriptural astro-luni-solar calendar to be the self-same as ordained at Creation, the Exodus, and our Messiah’s Crucifixion, laying the foundation upon which all prophetic events will be fulfilled, leading up to His Second Coming. Thirdly, these twelve time elements declare the seventh-day Sabbaths to be located only on the astro-luni-solar calendar, identifying the seventh-day Sabbaths to be counted from each New Moon. 

 

Solar Eclipse from the Sixth to the Ninth Hour

The prophet Amos foretold 800 years before the Messiah’s death (Amos 8:9-10) that the sun would be darkened at noon, and great mourning would occur for the only begotten son on that sacred feast day. This is recorded as a fulfillment of this ancient prophecy by Matthew 27:45, Mark 15:33, and Luke 23:44-45, clarifying that there was darkness over all the land from the sixth to the ninth hour. However, Luke elaborates in verse 45, clarifying that it was not mere darkness but rather the sun that was darkened. (The Textus Receptus used the Greek term Skotos (Strong,s # 1587), while the Codex Sinaiticus utilized the term ekleipo, from which we get the word eclipse.

Additional witnesses of the day support a solar eclipse with no great surprise outside of its duration. The only recorded perceived miracle in this solar eclipse was its length of three hours. This was completely unheard of, as most solar or lunar eclipses only last a few minutes.

The great significance of this solar eclipse is that it can only occur when the lunar phase on that day is the dark conjunction phase and not the full moon, as the modern Jews would have us believe. Also, there is no possible way to construe this phenomenon to be a lunar eclipse, as these can only occur at night.

Indeed, a miracle of grand proportions occurred on the day of the crucifixion, along with the earthquake and the veil in the temple being torn in two, but it was not a solar eclipse occurring, as some would have us believe, during a full moon. The three gospel writers, familiar with the movements of the shamayim, would have recorded that as significant if such a bazaar thing had occurred, as this would have meant Yahuah would have moved the moon 180 degrees from its position to accomplish it. But there is no record of such an occurrence.

Another important witness of this event, whose name is recorded in Acts 17:34, is Dionysius the Areopagite, a Greek astronomer. He vouches that this was a solar eclipse unlike any other. He stated, “Either the Creator of all the world now suffers, or this visible world is ending.”

Referring to the Scripture study of Luke 23, The Sun was Darkened from the Sixth to the Ninth Hour. Also, there is a Scripture study of Amos 8, which prophesies a Solar Eclipse to occur at the Messiah’s Death.

The Pure Woman of Revelation

For centuries, it has been taught that the year begins in January, months are of various lengths according to the whim of Caesar, days are marked accordingly, beginning at either midnight or sunset, and weeks have cycled without end since Creation.

It is taught as fact that the cycling week, which has no association whatsoever with the celestial bodies, is the very symbol of the creation of the sun, moon, and stars, which were divinely ordained as the beacons of time during the first week of creation. But the question remains: Where is it written in Scripture that an unbroken chain of weeks was designated as His symbol of Creation?

In contrast, Scripture reveals that at the very end of time, Yahuah’s true and obedient believers will be symbolized by the revolving celestial bodies that beacon His true astro-luni-solar calendar. This unique time system is based upon the cooperative efforts of the sun, moon, and stars, as beaconed by the full New Moon.

The pure woman of Revelation 12:1 strikingly illustrates this. She is clothed with the sun, the moon is depicted under her feet, and there are twelve stars or starry constellations above her head. These celestial symbols illustrate her perpetual annual obedience to the Creator and His true ordained clock/calendar and sacred days as determined in the shamayim. Each sun, moon, and star represents aspects of the Creator’s unique time system, each of which cannot be identified using the Roman time system for days, weeks, months, or years.

It has been discovered that in the Northern Hemisphere, only one lunar phase is ever under the feet of the constellation Bethula (Virgo). She first appears in the eastern sky at sunset in the spring. But one night only, the full New Moon appears under her feet. Because the passage describes Bethula as being clothed with the sun, it is easy to see that the moon under her feet will rise the same night, fully clothed in the same light of the sun. What is profoundly portrayed is that New Year’s Eve, as well as each month, is not found by the dark conjunction or the crescent lunar phases, but by the full moon, alone, identifying the full moon as the true New Moon of Scripture.

As Bethula arises in the spring, she holds in her left hand a sheaf of barley, signifying the ordained time of her arising in time for the Passover and First Fruits Offering. Yet, in her left hand, she bears a palm frond, which is symbolic of her setting in the fall at the time of the fall feasts.

In contrast, the wicked woman of Revelation 17, who rides the beast with seven heads, represents the opposing calendation system. Could these seven heads or mountains be mountains of a counterfeit time system, representative of unbroken cycles of weeks, and named after seven pagan deities? Which woman defines your current time-centric belief system? Refer to the article, A Great Sign Appeared in the Shamayim.

Fourteen Scripture Studies Supporting the Full New Moon

Below are thirteen diverse and weighty presentations supporting a full New Moon. I recommend that you read them in the order presented, as each builds upon the previous, revealing weighty evidence. I have kept these Scripture studies short for readability. Click on each link.

Additional Scriptural Support for the Full New Moon Below is a growing list of diverse Scriptural supportive confirmations for the Full New Moon. The following studies are outlined in order as they build upon one another. Click on each link below. Luke 23:44—45 — The Sun was Darkened From the Sixth to the Ninth Hour. According to Luke, a solar eclipse occurred between the sixth and ninth hour on the day of the Messiah’s crucifixion. This was a fulfillment of the prophecy of Amos. This can only happen during the dark conjunction lunar phase, revealing that the true New Moon is the full moon. Amos 8:9—11 — Amos prophesied a darkened sun would occur at the Messiah’s death. This O.T. prophecy, given 800 years before the crucifixion, declares a solar eclipse would occur at noon on the day of the Messiah’s death. Three gospels confirm this as fact. A solar eclipse occurs only during a dark, occulted lunar phase. So, by extension, the evidence supports the full moon as the true New Moon. Matthew 24:27 – All Ruling Luminaries Shine from the East unto the West. Each heavenly luminary shines from east to west when both visible and ruling time. The full moon is the only lunar phase that does this, making it the true new moon of Scripture and the Temple services. Revelation 22:2 – The New Moon regulates the Tree of Life. Did you know there is a moon in the shamayim? The tree of life yields twelve fruit, one each month according to the measure of the New Moon. Psalms 118:18-24 – The Open Gate and the Stone Rejected are Symbols of the Full Moon. The open gate and the stone rejected are related to the work of the full moon, which is a symbol of the Messiah, the trustworthy witness, and the light of the world. Revelation 12:1 –  A Great Sign Appeared in the Shamayim Announcing New Year’s Day. Discover that the great sign in the shamayim of the woman clothed with the sun depicts a full moon (#4582 Selene= brilliant moon) under her feet, with twelve constellations symbolized above her head. Remarkably, this image is revealed in the shamayim once a year, occurring only on New Year’s Eve in the spring in both the northern and southern hemispheres. Psalms 81:3  – Blow the New Moon Shofar on the Full Moon. Blow the New Moon shofar on the full moon, the processor of time for all the sacred Feasts (chag). James 1:17-18 – Yahuah is the Father of LIGHTS.  Discover which lunar phase is the only one that can represent the FATHER OF LIGHTS with no visible shadow from its turning orbit. Psalms 89:35-37 – The Full Moon is First Among the Lunar Phases. This study reveals that the full moon is FIRST among the lunar phases and is set apart for sacred use during the Temple services’ appointed times. As a result of this new light, the call can be heard: Babylon is fallen, is fallen . . . come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. Genesis 15:12, 17 –  The Night was Dark 430 Years Prior to the Exodus to the Very Day. Yahuah’s Covenant with Abraham was made on a night identified as DARK. This dark night is the foundation for identifying the correct time of the month for Israel’s miraculous Exodus from Egypt, 430 years later to the very day, and by implication, the true New Moon.

Healing on the Sabbath

In the verse below, Yahusha responds to the angry priests because He has just healed a man on the seventh day Sabbath, the day after the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles.

Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. If a man [male] receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man [male] completely well on the Sabbath? John 7:21-24

In the words of the Savior, we find the day following the seven-day Feast of Tabernacles, the seventh day of the Sabbath. This evidence bears a second witness to Leviticus 23:35-36, a full 1500 years after the Exodus, that indeed, the day following the seven-day feast is always a seventh-day Sabbath and the 22nd day of the Seventh Month. Thus, it is demonstrated, yet again, that the Sabbath consistently falls on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of the seventh month.

On the first day there shall be a sacred convocation [seventh-day Sabbath]. You shall do no customary work on it. For seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahuah. On the eighth day you shall have a sacred convocation [seventh-day Sabbath], and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahuah. It is a sacred assembly, and you shall do no customary work on it. Leviticus 23:35-36

Following the Lamb Whithersoever He Goes Appointed Feasts

According to Revelation 14:4, following the Lamb, whithersoever He goes, manifests only one group of people on earth at the very end of time. This group is referred to as the 144,000. While it is well known among various Scripture-believing organizations that the Lamb is a symbol of our Messiah and Savior, Yahusha, it is not overtly clear to most what is meant by following the Lamb, whithersoever He goes.

This divine riddle can only be understood in light of the sacred Sanctuary service model instituted by the loving Father in its complete form for Moses and the Israelites, in combination with His astro-luni-solar calendar.

This time-centric ceremonial system has prophetic implications, revealing in detail through its daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly services of the Creator’s divine plan of salvation. These truths are magnified further as revealed in His sacred time-centric seventh-day Sabbath and the other six yearly appointed holy Feast days. These appointed sacred feasts, weekly and yearly, reveal to mankind the time-appointed work of the Lamb and His blood transferred to the Most Sacred Place in the Sanctuary above on behalf of humbly confessing sinners.

The celestial calendar defines the divinely methodical seven-phase system of the Messiah unto salvation. It is only in this paradigm that it can be understood that Yahusha is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, yet is alive and well today, making restitution for sin and walking among the candlesticks in the Shamayin (heavenly) sanctuary. While He lives as our High Kohen (Priest) in the Sanctuary above, it is His own symbolic blood, shed once, that He presents before His Father.

Before His return, He will take on the High Kohen (Priest) role in Judgment for the Day of Atonement in the Most Sacred Place. Here, He cleanses Yahuah’s Seat of Forgiveness (Mercy Seat) of the sins of all mankind since the Garden of Eden by removing it from the premises and placing it on a goat, representing Satan, led far away. Those who have humbly confessed will be forgiven and counted righteous, and those who have not will remain unforgiven and lose out on the free gift of Salvation.

Soon thereafter, our Savior will be seen returning in the clouds of the Shamayin to receive His redeemed from all the ages. All of this was according to the pattern shown to Moses on the Mountain, not made with hands.

Each ministry phase of our Savior has its ordained and appointed event, occurring precisely on time and orchestrated with the Scriptures’ astro-luni-solar calendar and His divinely appointed feast days. Those who are following the Lamb are those who diligently seek to be in harmony and participate in these sacred shamayim events. By observing His sacred appointed fixed feast days at their ordained times, as beaconed by the full New Moon. It is in this way that they declare their loving obedience to Yahuah. Is there any doubt that this is impossible while wondering after the beast and her Gregorian calendar?

“Unfamiliar” is no more synonymous with wrong
than “familiar” is synonymous with right.

In Conclusion

Shocking as these concepts may first appear, those who truly desire to know the truth must check it out for themselves, laying all preconceived ideas at the door of investigation.  If knowing the truth is vital, if obediently keeping the Father, Yahuah’s true and sacred seventh-day Sabbath is imperative, then please take the time to prayerfully read the articles with support details from Scripture.

 

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

 

Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.   Matthew 7:13-14
