The Creator’s Calendar
Comparison Chart

Step into the world of the Creator’s Calendar Comparison Chart and embark on a journey that reaches far beyond dates and numbers. Calendars are more than human inventions; they are windows into how we align with the rhythms of the heavens themselves. Scripture reveals that the sun, moon, and stars were ordained as lights for signs, ~~seasons~~ (mo’edim), days, and years (Genesis 1:14–16). Yet, over the centuries, human societies have crafted new methods of timekeeping that often diverged from this standard. In our chart, we place side by side the Roman Gregorian calendar, the Rabbinical Jewish calendar, and the Creator’s original model, drawing out their distinct features. You will see how each system begins its years, months, weeks, and days, and how only one remains synchronized with the sacred framework established at creation and recorded in Scripture.

At the center of this comparison lies the role of the full moon, which rules together with the stars by night, the only lunar phase that fulfills this biblical mandate. This radiant marker announces New Moon Day and identifies the constellation appointed to rule each month, harmonizing earth’s time with the heavens’ design. By contrast, the Roman calendar divorces time entirely from the moon, and the Rabbinical system begins with phases hidden in darkness or on the western horizon, detached from the lights of the east-west time continuum. These disparities raise profound questions: if our worship days are not aligned with the Creator’s appointed rhythm, are we truly meeting Him for His sacred appointed times, or celebrating alone? Revelation 13:3 warns that the world can wonder after a system that departs from divine order. With this chart, we invite you to test, discern, and rediscover the calendar that restores the eternal harmony between the sun by day, the stars by night, and the full moon shining as the faithful witness.

The Roman Gregorian Year

The Roman Julian and later Gregorian calendar years were crafted strictly based on the solar cycle. For the first time in recorded history, the moon was removed from measuring time. Therefore, both of these were measured by the sun only, as it traversed the 360 degrees of the zodiac’s wheel of stars during daylight, when the stars were not even visible. So, because mankind cannot measure what is not visible when the sun is shining in the light of day, creative calculation had to occur.

The witty human invention that marks the start of the Roman year is January 1. It has no relation to the placement of the sun, moon, or stars, although it does occur approximately ten days following the winter solstice. The view from the Earth through the sun marks the constellation of Sagittarius as the first constellation of this astro-solar year.

When the moon is utilized for time measuring, it is in alignment with either the stars or the sun. Notice in the image above that the moon is off to the side. This is illustrated to show that it has been wholly discarded and never utilized on any level to measure years, months, weeks, or days on the Roman calendar, except for determining the date of Easter Sunday. As a result, at the start of any given year, the moon can be in any location and has no impact on measuring the Roman Gregorian calendar, which is widely used around the world today.

This system does not produce a syzygy alignment (a three-part alignment of the sun, earth, and moon) because the moon is not utilized. And while every unit of time was divorced from the moon by Julius Caesar as early as 45 B.C., even the days do not start and stop according to the requirements laid out in Scripture, which determine the beginning of the day to be sunrise, rather than sunset or midnight. (Psalms 113:3, Lamentations 3:23, Genesis 8:22, Malachi 1:11, Psalms 110:3, Psalms 50:1-2, John 11:9, Genesis 1:14-16.)

The Rabbinical Pharisee Jewish Year

The Rabbinical Jewish year begins with a dark lunar conjunction phase, which is honored as the New Moon and the start of lunar months when it is in alignment with the sun at sunset in the spring (March/April). Although invisible, it marks the constellations on the opposite side of the sun from the Earth. From there, they count to their ceremonial Feast Days beginning in the constellation of Pisces.

This first example illustrates the view from Earth looking toward the sun on a day with a dark lunar conjunction phase. Occasionally, throughout the year, this alignment will produce a solar eclipse. This event is typified in Scripture on the 14th of Abib nearly 2,000 years ago, when Yahusha, the Messiah, hung on the cross/stake for you and me. Luke tells us that the sun was darkened from the sixth to the ninth hour in the longest solar eclipse known to mankind. Refer to The Sun was Darkened from the Sixth to the Ninth Hour.

This fact alone identifies the dark conjunction as a midmonth event. It is neither a light nor does it visibly rule from the east to the west, together with the visible stars. Therefore, it does not meet the standard of Scripture.

This second example illustrates the first visible crescent. While it reflects a small portion of light from the moon, as required in Scripture, it is only visible on the western horizon after sunset. It also fails to meet Scripture’s requirement of beginning its rule in the East, alongside the stars.

The conjunction lunar phase alignment creates a syzygy order that includes the Earth, dark moon, and sun, which points to their ruling constellation in that order, but not the crescent. Still, it is 180 degrees opposite the Genesis 1:14-16 model. This method of measuring lunar months by the dark conjunction or crescent was invented in ancient pagan Babylon in rebellion against the Most High Eternal Father. Ironically, both methods are also utilized among the pagans and in witchcraft today. Refer to the article Uncovered: Lunar Secrets from Ancient Babylon.

The Authentic Creator’s Calendar Year

The authentic and original Creator’s Calendar year model alone meets the B’resheet (Genesis) 1:14-16 criteria of the “sun ruling by day” but also the “moon ruling by night together with the stars.” There is only one lunar phase that meets this criterion, and that is the Full Moon. This means that the full moon by night was the ordained starting marker to identify which starry constellation was to rule for the entire month when they were both present and visible. This same full moon in the night sky announces that the New Year (Rosh Hashanah) and or new month will begin the following morning at sunrise. Note that while the sun is part of the time-measuring equation, it is neither present nor visible nor the predominant sign-marker for the start of years or lunar months. The sun’s primary focus is on measuring each daylight from sunrise to sunset and measuring each civil calendar date from one sunrise to the next. This may seem entirely skewed if one was taught that the day begins at sunset or midnight. For more on this subject, refer to Scripture Evidence for When the Day Begins.

The sun shining on the full moon by night marks the ruling constellation once each lunar month to announce the New Moon Day. This occurs along the ecliptic path of the wheel of the stars 12-13 times each lunar year. The syzygy alignment on that special night is of the sun, earth, and full moon, creating the perfect pointer to the first day of the next ruling constellation.

This sign was ordained at creation to be the sign-marker for the start of years and months. This model alone starts the year nearest the feet of Bethulah (Virgo), in the spring, by night, and in perfect harmony with Revelation 12:1. It can be at, under, or above her feet. Therefore, we utilize the start of the year when the full moon is nearest her feet, but never so far under her feet that the moon marks the constellation of Libra. Revelation 12:1 depicts what occurs when the sun has set, and the full moon is visibly rising in the east with the sun’s full light upon the moon. Together, they rule the entire night along the east-west time continuum. Refer to the article “Behold a Great Sign Appeared in the Shamayim.”

Measuring Time With Opposing Criteria

Each calendar model presents its unique perspective in this fascinating realm of timekeeping, echoing the diverse tapestry of fallen human understanding. There’s a cautionary tale against intertwining with the zodiac in many Christian circles. Yet, intriguingly, Scripture refers to the Mazzaroth as the divinely appointed model for measuring time, challenging our misconstrued paradigms. When the starting criteria, as outlined in Scripture, are overlooked, the celestial dance loses its sacred rhythm, and the bridegroom no longer dances with the bride. And confoundingly, those who claim to be the bride may not be at all. It beckons us to reconsider Genesis 1:14-16, inviting us to ponder the harmony of the cosmos orchestrated by our Creator.

As we delve deeper, the significance of calendar revisions emerges. The first two models predominantly lean on the sun as their guide, occasionally accompanied by the moon, yet they drift from the celestial symphony ordained by our Creator. As portrayed through the blueprint of His lunar-appointed Feast Days of synchronized time and event, His Plan of Salvation intricately weaves the full moon as the beacon for His lunar months and ruling constellations, a rhythm lost amidst human rebellion and revisions.

Our Creator’s lunar STANDARD for measuring time, weaving through years, months, weeks, and days, remains steadfast, guiding His faithful to worship on His appointed Kadosh days. These divine appointments persist, unaffected by human whims or disobedience, for the sun, moon, and stars bear the sovereign signature of the Creator alone. Despite mankind’s rebellious inventions, His preordained and authorized time-measuring model endures, inviting us to realign our hearts with His eternal rhythm.

In the grand tapestry of existence, only one calendar resonates with the heartbeat of eternity, synchronizing mankind with the worship schedule of the heavenly throne room. It transcends human concoctions, standing as the timeless beacon of divine order amidst the chaos of human inventions. As Yahuah declares in Isaiah 66:23, all flesh is called to worship before Him, beckoning us into His eternal dominion.

“And it shall be that from its abundance, New Moon by New Moon you shall keep; and from its abundance, Sabbath by Sabbath you shall keep. It [the full moon] shall lead all flesh to prostrate in worship, according to My chief corner [stone],” declares Yahuah.” Isaiah 66:23

Indeed, amidst the complexities of timekeeping, one truth remains unwavering: YAHUAH ALAHIM OF APPOINTED TIMES IS THE ETERNAL KING OF KINGS and CREATOR EXTRAORDINAIRE. In His boundless love, He extends an invitation to all to enter His eternal sanctuary. Yet, only through awakened hearts and receptive spirits may the Bride journey through the east gate of her Bridegroom’s Kadosh temple. It is there with souls synchronized that the rhythm commences, and together, they dance into eternity. HalleluYAH!

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

WHICH CALENDAR DOES THE ETERNAL FATHER HONOR?
1. Is it the Mayan calendar?
2. Babylonian calendar?
3. Roman calendar?
4. Modern Rabbinical Pharisee calendar?
5. NONE OF THE ABOVE?

May our Creator, Yahuah Alahim, the Most High Eternal Father, have mercy upon all who seek truth as for buried treasure. He has promised that He will complete what He has begun in us. (Romans 9:28). His great love and compassion sent forth His Son to redeem fallen mankind and restore them to His time-honored TORAH LAW, which includes HIS authentic astro-luni-solar CALENDAR STANDARD. Only in this way may we be fully restored and synchronized to His worship rhythms in preparation for His coming Kingdom.

“But when the fullness of the time was come, Alahim (God) sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the TORAH LAW, to redeem them that were under the TORAH LAW, that we might receive the adoption of sons.” Galatians 4:4-5

As these truths are being restored in these last days, might it be that they will play a predominant and vital role in the vetting of who shall enter in through the gates and be admitted to the Holy City, the New Yarushalom, and who shall not?
