Beloved, have you noticed our new Masthead? The Bible download_for_offline is true and please believe. Our Earth is FLAT download_for_offline , The Flat Earth WITH A DOMED ROOF OVER IT! Radially bounded by a massive, icy wall called Antarctica. Earth Is Immovable!!! Earth Is Not a Ball! They have fed us innumerable 'photos' of Earth from space! Not a single one of them is a photo! They are all computer-generated images! CGIs! Copernican Theory has been fact with zero proof for millennia! The conspiracy to deceive us and take away YaHuWaH from HIS Earth has failed. Big-bang Theory! Darwinian Theory! Copernican Theory! - All Theories!! Non-facts and non-truths, have reigned over us for so long we came to believe that our Earth is a globe! Our Earth is not a globe. Dubious claims of landing on the moon have been proven to be hoaxes and lies. As NASA today is expressing the impossibility of man going to the moon as they have no answer yet of how to overcome the Van Allen Radiation Belt right above our stratosphere! Limitless Deception!

On every page of this Website, is a Major Teaching or Principle which you need to study, internalize and practice, before the End comes. We stand ready to help you in any way necessary for your spiritual maturity and readiness for the on-rushing Kingdom.

Here, we have endeavored to make available to you everything you need to make the spiritual decisions that you must make, intelligently. Our pages are not designed as 'snippets', no. We have not spared time or space. We have detailed every study. We are ofcourse sensitive to your lack of time. We also believe that you will not be at this Site if your need for Salvation is not bigger than the time needed for anything else. Therefore, please be patient as you spend time here as some of our pages are fairly lengthy. We must allow Elohiym to speak freely and to hear out His every Word.

Beloved, we know full well that your being here is not happenstance. Far from it. Your heavenly Father brought you here. We welcome you home with open arms and warm hearts. You are here because you are hungry for the 'bone', not the flesh; for the 'sweet wine', not the 'milk' of the Besorah (the Gospel). Here we do not have summaries, but the full package on any and every part of the Besorah. Therefore, we plead that you make and take the time for a full meal here. Again, this is your home, remain here and remain ever blessed. Amein.

"But the word of YaHuWaH was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; ..."

YaHuWaH bless You and keep You and all of your loved ones. Amein.

We celebrate these two events on the same date and at the same time:
  1. The one event is the giving of the Ten Commandments at Sinai
  2. The other is the Upper-Room outpouring of the Early Rain, the Ruach Ha'Qodesh (Holy Spirit)
The two great events took place on the same date for they are the very same event. To have the Ruach Ha'Qodesh in the Soul is to have the Law printed in the Heart and vice versa. in 17 days on July 23, 2025. As we prepare to celebrate, let's make ready for the Latter Rain. It may well happen on this date! Remember that the Early Rain fell on the same date and time.

  1. For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
Mark 13:34 KJV

Are you doing anything today for the Kingdom of Elohiym? Who told you to do it? Where did you get your directives from? If you did not get those directives on your knees, you labor in vain! Did you hear the Savior in the text above? To better understand Him, find the details here so that you can join those under His Organization. But for those who would depend on Man, any man to know what to do in Church or at home for the Kingdom, click here to see that they are and have been under Satan's disorganization!

This is a simple enough Commandment, isn't it? As long as your attitude to your Creator is one of obedience and humility, the Commandment is simple and pretty straightforward, isn't it?

Glance at the nearest available Calendar, identify its Seventh day, and you are good! On its Seventh day, you and your family go off to Church. Well, be sure that your family and fellow believers are looking at the same Calendar. So, if I look at an international Calendar published by ISO-8601, which begins each week with Monday, my seventh day will be Sunday! If I glanced at the Islamic Calendar, the Hijri Calendar, which starts its week with a Saturday, my seventh day will be Friday! And If I used the North American Calendar, adopted by the later Julian and gregorian Calendars, which starts its week with a Sunday, my seventh day will of course be, Saturday! (See the Article "seven-day week" on Wikipedia).

Now, which of these three seventh-days is the true Holy Sabbath? You might be tempted to say, 'Saturday', if you are an Adventist or a regular Sabbatarian. Maybe, like me, that's what you grew up to know! Beloved, there aren't many lies as big as this lie in the World today! The tragedy is that Laodiceans became the victims of an official lie by their own church! Download The Weekly Cycle Has Never Changed! for the lie. SATURDAY IS NOT AND CANNOT BE THE BIBLICAL SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH! Loadicea knows it, knew it as far back as 1938, and has been teaching folks differently! Download the Grace Amadon Collection and the Great Calendar Controversy for details of this shocking LIE! Daniy'el Chapter 7 told us and we totally and fatally misunderstood a very clear Prophecy of scripture.

And he shall speak great words against the Most High, and shall wear out the Qodeshiym of the Most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Daniy'el 7:25 (KJV)

The Julian Calendar transitions to gregorian
Julian Calendar Transitioning to gregorian

In reading this important Prophecy, we were conditioned by the church into looking no further than the superficial fact of Sunday versus Saturday. We had that all hyped up that we couldn't appreciate the wider and deeper and more significant truths! Of course, Sunday is the first day of the gregorian week we know and Saturday is its seventh day. We were told that from creation, the weekly cycle has continued uninterrupted till today! And that, even the transition in 1582 AD from the Julian to the gregorian Calendar which resulted in the loss of eleven days as Thursday October 4 was followed by Friday October 15, did not disrupt the weekly cycle as Friday followed Thursday. Adventism has staunchly defended the gregorian Calendar quite strongly over the years! Yet the Church has since 1938 known that the gregorian Calendar is a fake and a monumental fraud! To clinch it, we were told that the Saturday today is the same as the one our Savior YaHuWshuaH worshiped on! Nothing could be further from the truth. A shameful and diabolical lie!

The Catholic Church has been very clear as they jeer at Laodiceans. Read this article and Read this one Catholicism Speaks too, for the transcript of the announcement by the Catholic Church as to what really happened.

It is true that Saturday is the seventh day of the modern week. However, this does not make Saturday the seventh-day Sabbath of Scripture. The modern week comes from the pagan planetary week. When it was adopted by the Julian Calendar, the seven-day planetary week began on Saturday and ended with 'dies veneris' - Friday!

Note too that the early Julian Calendar was originally an 8-Day-Week Calendar!

What month would be the 1st month of the following year? You guessed it: March. Spring the renewal season, usually begins March/April. Did YaHuWaH not command, concerning the 1st lunation of Spring, in "Exodus 12:1-2 TS2009: (1) And YaHuWaH spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon in the land of Mitsrayim, saying,
(2) “This new moon is the beginning of new moons for you, it is the first new moon of the year for you.

Please, remember that Roman Republican Calendar in use before 153 BC, had only 10 months in the year! See the Figure below.

Do You still believe there was no tampering with the Calendar days, dates, cycle or months? It is up to you to make your own decisions. But we believe you have now more than enough information to have absolutely no trust in the Calendars in use today, whether gregorian, Islamic, etc. Only the biblical Calendar provides the unshakable basis for trust.

So now, let us refresh our memories on the Fourth Commandment,

Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of YaHuWaH your Elohiym.
Shemoth (Exodus) 20:8-10

The Law stipulates the Seventh Day. Not the First Day. Consequently, we focused on the Saturday / Sunday question. As a result, we couldn't see or perceive more than this substitution! The sanctification of the first day instead of the seventh day, is ofcourse in itself rebellion. But the enemy used it as a smoke screen, a clever decoy to hide the diabolical plot to steal every worship that rightfully belongs to the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth. No matter how you argue against and reject Sunday, and whatever other choices you may make - Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, from the satanic gregorian Calendar, your worship is effectively redirected to the Arch Usurper! Satan knows, his servant the Papacy knows, that you cannot meet the requirements of the Commandment as long as you stay within the gregorian or related Calendar. Whether you are using the Jewish Calendar of today, the Islamic Calendar - the Hijri, or the International Calendar, it is all the same. They all derive from the gregorian Calendar. This is one of the biggest coups in all of history!

  1. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Heylel, ...! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
  2. For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of Elohiym: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
  3. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
YeshaYahuw 14:12-14 KJV

YeshaYahuw 14:12-14 above, is Satan's declaration of his plan to overthrow El Elyon. The abolishing of the Divine Calendar was the central part of the plan to "sit also upon the mount of the congregation", which in plain English, means, "he will receive every worship belonging to Elohiym and become Elohiym!".

For people wanting to obey the Bible Commandments, the question is: "Which is the First Day of the week on the available Calendar?" Everyone can count from one to seven, but where does the count begin? Once we identify the First Day, the Seventh Day is a matter of counting from One to Seven. That was how we settled on Saturday as the Sabbath! Wow! How simple we have been. Satan and his servants did take us for a very terrible ride! How we arrived at Saturday as the Sabbath is the correct way except that we were presented with a Counterfeit Calendar!

How can you know which is the true seventh day? Simple. By counting from one to seven on the Eternal Divine Calendar. If the gregorian Calendar now in global use, is not it, which one is? How and where can we find the true Calendar? In the Bible, where else?

You certainly know enough to know that Elohiym created the "Week" in the beginning. Read Genesis chapter 1. The Creator Who made the week also designed a month in which to place that week. In the same chapter 1 of Genesis, we were told how to reckon time by using the Sun, Moon and Stars. The Calendar of Creation begins with a New Moon Day followed by four complete weeks. Each week contains six work days and a seventh-day Sabbath for rest.

In the beginning, the Creator designed the movement of the Sun and the Moon to measure time.

  1. And Elohiym said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons (religious gatherings), and for days, and years:
  1. And Elohiym made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
  2. And Elohiym set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the Earth,
  3. And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and Elohiym saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:14, 16-18 KJV

Time can be measured only by movement. The complete movement of the Sun around the Earth, measures a day. In 365 and a quarter days, the Sun and the Earth return to the same relative position. This is one solar year. The Moon's 29 and a half day revolution around the Earth measures a lunation, which is the Month. Twelve and a third lunations equal in length to a solar year.

Solar Calendars:

Solar Calendars reflect the duration of the movement of the Sun around the Earth. In this, the number of days it takes the Sun to complete one revolution around the Earth is one year. This takes about 365 and a quarter days.
Solar Calendars use only the movement of the Sun for measuring the length of the year. The Months of a Solar year are of arbitrary length having no link to nature. The gregorian Calendar which is the Calendar in global use today, is a Solar Calendar. On the gregorian solar Calendar, weeks cycle continuously. Even the leap day, which makes every fourth year a leap year, does not disrupt the continuous weekly cycle. A gregorian leap year is about 366 days.

Lunar Calendars:

Lunar Calendars measure the Moon's revolution around the Earth. Lunar Calendars are based strictly on the cycles of the Moon. The Lunar Months cycle continuously without adjustment to the solar year. Because 12 lunations are 11 days shorter than a solar year, lunar months float forward and backward through the seasons in different years. The Islamic Hijri Calendar is a typical Lunar Calendar.

LuniSolar Calendars:

LuniSolar Calendars measure the movement of the Moon around the Earth and the Sun around the Earth. It also tracks the position of the Sun relative to the Zodiac. LuniSolar months are anchored to the solar year. Consequently,it remains faithful to the seasons year after year.
The Sun and the Moon functioning together make a luniSolar Calendar. Lunations are adjusted to the longer solar year by adding a 13th month, seven times in a 19-year Metonic Cycle. The Metonic Cycle Made Simple . The weekly cycle restarts with every new Moon. Each lunation has four complete weeks after the New Moon Day.

The Calendar established at Creation is luniSolar. It is the most accurate and precise of all time-keeping systems.

In Scripture, each lunation starts with the celebration of a special day of worship: New Moon Day. New Moon Day starts at the first dawn after Conjunction. Six work days follow and then a seventh-day Sabbath on the eighth of the month. Three more weeks follow, ending on the 29th. Through measurement and calculation in the days leading up to the 29th, the time of the next Conjunction is revealed so one can determine if the month has 29 or 30 days. No month ever has more than 30 days.

The true luniSolar Calendar is very user-friendly. Days of the week always fall on the same dates of every month in the Creator's LuniSolar Calendar. Every time a Seventh-day Sabbath in Scripture is assigned a date, it always falls on the 8th, 15th, 22nd or 29th day of the month.

Scripture states that the Moon was created specifically to determine times for worship (Seasons).

He appointed [created] the Moon for seasons [H415; worship times].
Psalm 104:19

Creation week ended with a Sabbath day's rest. Exodus 31 states that the Sabbath is to be kept throughout all generations.

Verily My Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am YaHuWaH that doth sanctify you.
Shemoth (Exodus) 31:13.

The seventh-day Sabbath was designed by the Creator to be the sign of loyalty between Himself and His people. The enemy, Heylel, engineered a change of Calendar and stole the worship due to the Creator. For details of how Heylel managed to accomplish this incredible feat, open this page. It may read like a thriller novel. It is not. This is deadly serious, and true. Through tradition and assumption, Heylel has united the world in using a solar Calendar with continuously cycling weeks. When one worships reveals whom he worships. All who use a solar or lunar Calendar for calculating their days of worship, whether Natsariym (Christian) or Muslim are, unwittingly, giving their allegiance and worship to the great Deceiver - Satan!

Those desiring to show their allegiance to the Creator will worship Him on the day He has designated. To find the correct day of worship, the luniSolar Calendar established at Creation must be used. There is not a single event in Scripture that harmonizes with any other Calendar. Every event or story in Scripture fits perfectly within the luniSolar Calendar. It is the Bible's only Calendar.

Biblical New Year Day

New Year Day for the Bible and for its Author - El Elohaykem Yashar'el, was defined in the Bible in Shemoth (Exodus) 12:2.

And YaHuWaH spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon in the land of Mitsrayim, saying,
“This month is the beginning of months for you, it is the first month of the year for you.
Shemoth (Exodus) 12:1-2 TS98 (ISR)

YaHuWaH spoke to Mosheh informing him of how he and his people are to measure time. This statement was made by YaHuWaH as He prepared Mosheh to prepare the Yashar'eliym for the Exodus. A few days before this instruction (in Exodus 12:2) was given, Mitsrayim (Egypt) had suffered a devastating plague of Hail and fire and rain (All at once). The Hail destroyed every plant and trees that were standing. Only crops that were yet to sprout or bud survived. Of those days the Bible said:

  1. And the hail smote throughout all the land of Mitsrayim all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.
  2. Shemoth (Exodus) 9:25 KJV
  1. And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
  2. But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were not grown up.
  3. Shemoth (Exodus) 9:31-32 KJV

Grown Barley indicates clearly that this was in the Spring.

Fourteen nights later, all the first-born of Egypt (Mitsrayim) were to die. This is the Passover Month. Of the time-frame, this is a time when Barley crop was approaching maturity. The time of year when Barley crop is due to mature would be the 'beginning of months' for you. When the Early Rains are expected. In fact, it is in what we now call 'Spring'. And so, Yashar'el called the month, 'Abib' - meaning 'ripe'. Unfortunately, tradition then held that evidence of the beginning of a new year would be the imminent ripening of the Barley crop. But tradition can have no place especially where the word of Elohiym is clear on an issue. On this issue, the Bible is clear where we should look to determine the beginning and end of a year.

  1. And Elohiym said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
  2. And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the Earth: and it was so.
  3. And Elohiym made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
Genesis 1:14-16 KJV

Clearly, we are to look to the Heavens for signs to show us when days begin and when days end; when the months begin and when they end. when years begin and when years end.

Genesis 1:14 states in plain language that the Heavenly bodies are to be for "signs and appointed times, and for days and years" But the current practice of many even among those who should know better, the Yahuwdiym, is to watch for the ripening of Barley in the Middle East! There is no mention of vegetation in Genesis 1:14. Nowhere in Scripture is it stated that the beginning of the year is to be determined by examining Barley or to reference anything on Earth. To suggest that the New Year hinges on the ripeness of the Barley, when Scripture incontrovertibly declares that the Heavenly bodies are to determine years, is to make the Word of YaHuWaH of no effect!

You shall not add to the word that I command you nor take from it that you may keep the Commandments of YaHuWaH your Eloah that I command you." Deuteronomy 4:2.

Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it." Deuteronomy 12:32.

Every word of Eloah is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him. Add thou not unto His words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. Proverbs 30:5-6.


While popular tradition teaches that the ripeness of Mideastern Barley is the beacon for the New Year, this supposition cannot be supported by even one passage of Scripture.

Now that we know by the authority of Scripture that the Heavenly bodies are to determine years, the question is "What is it that takes place in the Heavens to let us know that Winter is over and a New Year can begin?" A very important clue can be found in Exodus 34.

And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end [H8622]."
Shemoth (Exodus) 34:22, KJV

Now, let us examine the Hebrew word, translated here as "end."

H8622 (tekufah) - "coming round, circuit of time or space, a turning, circuit" (Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Dictionary)
While it is not immediately apparent from the KJV, the word translated here as "end" [Strong's H8622] is referring to the Fall Equinox (also called the Autumnal Equinox) in the middle of the year. This is confirmed by the fact that the Feast of Ingathering, also referred to as the "Feast of Tabernacles" and the "Feast of Booths," takes place in fall, in the Seventh Month (Leviticus 23:34) - in the middle of the year, not at the end of the civil year.
WLC

The Encyclopedia Judaica agrees with this understanding.
"As stated, the four seasons in the Yahuwdiy year are called tekufot [plural of tekufah; H8622]. More accurately, it is the beginning of each of the four seasons. ... the tekufah of Nisan denoting the mean Sun at the vernal equinoctial point, that of Tammuz denoting it at the summer solstitial point, that of Tishrei, at the autumnal equinoctial point, and that of Tevet, at the winter solstitial point.
Encyclopedia Judaica, Article "Calendar", p.356

The translations below offer a more accurate rendering of Exodus 34:22 than the King James Version managed.

  • And thou shalt keep to me the feast of weeks, the beginning of wheat-harvest; and the feast of ingathering in the middle of the year."
    Exodus 34:22, (Brenton's English Septuagint)
  • "And a feast of weeks thou dost observe for thyself; first-fruits of wheat-harvest; and the feast of in-gathering, at the revolution of the year."
    Exodus 34:22, (YLT)
  • "And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the first-fruits of wheat-harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the turn of the year."
    Shemoth (Exodus) 34:22, (Darby)
  • “And perform the Festival of Weeks for yourself, of the first-fruits of wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering at the turn of the year."
    Shemoth (Exodus) 34:22 TS98 (ISR)

Thus far, we have established the following:
  1. The Feast of Ingathering revolves around the Fall harvest in the Seventh Month (Leviticus 23:34).
  2. The Feast of Ingathering is associated with the fall Equinox in 'the middle of the year'.
It is only logical to conclude based on the above that the beginning of the year then is connected to the Spring Equinox, which takes place about six months before and after the Fall Equinox. If the Fall Feasts are connected to the Fall Equinox in the middle of the year, then the spring feasts must be connected to the Spring Equinox at the beginning of the year. It is very important to note here that the Feast of Ingathering is directly associated with the Fall Equinox; therefore, in order to fulfill the biblical mandate, the Feast of Ingathering must be held on or very near the Fall Equinox.
WLC

In the same vein, to fulfill the biblical mandate, we must therefore look to the New Moon that is closest to the Spring Equinox.

We need to be clear about this fact: That there is just one definitive anchor point given in Scripture for identifying the biblical New Year. It is the Fall Equinox. Shemoth (Exodus) 34:22 states that the Feast of Ingathering (in the seventh luniSolar month) is to be held at the tekufah, which in context is the Fall Equinox. It is not possible to consistently keep this mandate when always reckoning the New Year by the first New Moon after the Vernal (Spring) Equinox. If we reckon the New Year by the New Moon nearest the Vernal Equinox, however, the biblical mandate will be consistently met.
WLC

Biblical Definition for New Year

Biblical New Year Day is the New Moon Day Nearest the Spring Equinox. (The Spring Equinox is the day during Spring when the daytime and nighttime are exactly equal in length). It is usually March 20 or March 21. In making this judgment, ensures that both the Passover (the 14th day of the lunar month) and the full Moon fall after the Equinox. This ensures precision.

The New Moon Day is a Sabbath day. The next day, the second day of the Month, is the First day of the Week. Seven days later reaches to the 8th of the Month, the first Seventh-day Sabbath of the New Month. The remaining Sabbaths for the Month occur on the 15th, 22nd and 29th Day of the Month. This is the same for every month of the year and every month forever. It has always been so and will always remain so.

New Moon Day

The New Moon Day is a super special day. A Sabbath Day of a different class than the Seventh-day Sabbath. It is a special gift from our Creator. Recall that our Creator was at rest before He began creation. The New Moon Day seems to represent the period when Elohiym was at rest before beginning His work of creation. Before we begin our work week too, we need a Rest day. The new moon day not only begins each month, it also affords us a Rest Day before we commence our own 'Work Week'. The very next day, the First day of the First week of the month is the 2nd day of the Month and is a WORK DAY. We will work the six days from then to the Seventh day, when we must have a rest (Sabbath). A rest day must precede every Work Week. And just as the New Moon Day begins with deepest darkness (CONJUNCTION), the very first day of the Creation Month and Week, was dark, very dark! And then came 'light' after the creation of the Heavens and the Earth. The Heavens and the Earth were made in utter darkness. With our Eloah though,

Even darkness is not dark for You, But night shines as the day - As is darkness, so is light.
Psalm 139:12 TS98 (ISR)

The modern gregorian Calendar cannot be used to calculate the true seventh-day Sabbath because it lacks one very vital feature of biblical time-measurement: lunar months. The Creator's Calendar begins each month with the New Moon. The first day of every new month is New Moon day:

And Dawid said to Yahuwnathan, “Indeed tomorrow is the New Moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king to eat.” ... Then Yahuwnathan said to Dawid, “Tomorrow is the New Moon; and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.” ... Then Dawid hid in the field. And when the New Moon had come, the king sat down to eat the feast ... but Dawid's place was empty.
1 Samuel 20:5, 18, 24-25, NKJV

The Hebrew word for “month,” chodesh, actually means:

new Moon; month.” Chodesh can refer to a “month,” or the period from one new Moon to another. (Chodesh, #2320)
The New Strong's Expanded Dictionary of Bible Words.

Since the biblical month begins with the New Moon, the weekly Sabbaths are intrinsically linked to the Moon. New Moon day restarts the weekly cycle. YaHuWaH created the lights in the Heavens for the express purpose of calculating time.

Let there be lights in the Firmament of the Heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years ... .
Genesis 1:14, KJV

The word “seasons” comes from the word "Mo'ed".

  1. These are the feasts of YaHuWaH, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
  2. In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is YaHuWaH's Passover.
  3. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto YaHuWaH: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
Leviticus 23:4-6 KJV

  1. Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the Sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
  2. That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
  3. YaHuWaH hath sworn by the excellency of Ya'aqob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.
Amos 8:5-7 KJV

Please beloved, notice in verse 7 in the text above, the oath YaHuWaH took. It was the consequence folks being inpatient for the New Moon Day or the Sabbath to end so that they can go selling! That's an attitude that is guaranteed to make nonsense of anyone's Sabbath-keeping! We are to think and have the Sabbath "a delight". See YeshaYahuw 58:13.

Discern how important the New Moon is to YaHuWaH and to us:

Thus saith Adonai YaHuWaH; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the Sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.

Yechezkiy'el 46:1 KJV

Elohiym expects His people to meet with Him every New Moon Day and every Sabbath; to open our doors on these two days so He can come in. What do you imagine will be your situation if on the Sabbath or New Moon Day, you would not open the doors to your heart and soul so that He can come in? During the Sabbaths and the New Moon Day, YaHuWaH wants to be with us. It is a divine appointment. Please do not 'ghost' Him. Their might just be 'hell' to pay!

Eternal Divine Calendar

Note now Beloved, that every year, unfailingly, the Passover Day, the 14th day of the 1st month (Abib) is a Preparation Day - the 6th day of the week. The 15th day is the Sabbath. The 16th day of the same month is the Day of the Wave Sheaf.

The first day of the Seventh Month (Tishrei) is the Feast of Trumpets - a New Moon Day. The 10th Day is the Day of Atonement. It is always the 2nd day of the 2nd week. The Days and the Dates for every biblical event remain the same every year now and forever.

Is this possible on the gregorian Calendar hanging on your living room wall right now? It is impossible! And you know it. Why then are you still accepting it as legitimate and true? It does not harmonize with anything in Scripture and you are not raising any questions?

  1. And YaHuWaH spake unto Mosheh, saying,
  2. Speak unto the children of Yashar'el, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
  3. Leviticus 23:23 - 24 KJV
  1. And YaHuWaH spake unto Mosheh, saying,
  2. Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement.: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto YaHuWaH.
  3. And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before YaHuWaH your Elohiym.
  4. Leviticus 23:26 - 28 KJV
  1. And YaHuWaH spake unto Mosheh, saying,
  2. Speak unto the children of Yashar'el, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto YaHuWaH.
  3. On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
  4. Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto YaHuWaH: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto YaHuWaH: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein.
  5. ...
  6. ...
  7. Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto YaHuWaH seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.
  8. And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before YaHuWaH your Elohiym seven days.
  9. And ye shall keep it a feast unto YaHuWaH seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
  10. Leviticus 23:33 - 41 KJV

When we talk about the Mark of the Beast, referring to the Change of the Day of worship from the Seventh day to the First day, we are right. So much so because the Beast, the Papacy admits doing just this.

However, the full truth is, the Papacy knows that regardless of your religion, be it Natsarenity (Christianity) or Islam, as long as you are using their Calendar for determining your day of worship, you are paying homage to them and actually accepting their authority in these matters. They gave the world the Calendar in use today. And they admit it and boast about it.

Read this article and Read Catholicism Speaks too for the transcript of the announcement by the Catholic Church as to what really happened. So now you see why neither Sunday nor Saturday can be the biblical Sabbath. Remember that the Commandment is clear.

"Remember the Sabbath day ... ", Not, "Remember a Sabbath day ..."

Scripture reveals that the Calendar that will be used for worship throughout all eternity will be based upon the Calendar which has each month restarting with a New Moon Day:

And it shall come to pass, that from one new Moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before Me.
YeshaYahuw 66:23

Who do you worship? To whom do you give your allegiance? The Calendar you use to determine times and dates for worship, reveals the deity you worship.
