People
assume there is another way to find this Appointment
without the use of the Great lights of YHWH without
any Scriptural authority. After six workdays the
next day (on the 7th ) YHWH rested from all His
work, and they assume we are to continue a count
of 1-7 to find the Appointment and ignore what He
just said about the Heavenly Bodies were for Appointments.
They assume it now is a continuous count only without
the use of the Great Lights to regulate when to
start the count each time for the Appointments.
(New Moon day then six workdays) We truly do count
to seven, but if He places an intermission (worship
day) between the ordinary workdays, it automatically
breaks up the workdays and the count starts over.
Remember in the creation week the only Appointment
was the weekly Appointments of the rest after six
workdays, for they had not left Egypt yet (on the
15th) and the Moon is the only count for days in
the Scriptures. New Moon = new count.
So,
it is not wise to assume the Great lights of YHWH
are for yearly Appointments only, because the Scriptures
doesn’t say this nor does it teach this. There
is no example of anyone keeping any day without
reference to the Sun and Moon. The 50 year Jubilee
Appointment would be by the Sun. The monthly Appointment
by the Moon, and there are four weekly Appointments
in every Moon.
Everywhere
Sabbaths are pinpointed in the Scriptures they are
always on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of the Moon
(without exception). This always makes the 2nd day
of the New Moon the 1st workday and the 8th day
of the Moon the 7th day of rest and YHWH did rest
the 7th day. Gen 2:2.
The
example in Ex. 16th chapter teaches the Sabbath
was on the 22nd day of the Moon and no manna given.
If you count backward the 15th was a Sabbath. This
was in the 2nd Moon and these are the facts.
Deuteronomy
5:12-15 teaches us that they were to remember the
Sabbath day because they were delivered from Egypt
bondage and it was on the 15th and (Num. 33:3) teaches
it was on a Sabbath or 15th also. (Psm. 81:3) teaches
it was 15th and Time appointed is Full Moon, and
a Solemn Feast day. Their hands were delivered from
pots and shoulders from burdens on 15th a Sabbath
in the 1st Moon. How could the 15th be a Sabbath
in the 2nd Moon as Ex. 16th chapter proves? If you
count the New Moon day as an ordinary workday and
just count seven over and over through the New Moon
then your Sabbath would fall on the 7th, 14th, 21st
in the 2nd Moon, but the Scriptures teaches the
8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th are the Sabbaths in the
2nd Moon, which proves the New Moon day was not
counted as a workday.
If
you count backward from 15th in the 1st Moon through
3 days of darkness, locust, hail, etc. you’ll
find that YHWH appointed a set time to kill cattle
(Ex. 9:5) and it was on the 8th day of the Moon,
and He calls it a Moed (Strong’s 4150) same
word used for weekly appointment in Lev. 23:3, Gen.
1:14, and Psm. 104:19. Look up the word set used
here. It proves that the 8th was the Sabbath in
the 1st Moon when they left Egypt. Very important
Proof the weekly Sabbaths Appointments are found
by the Moon is by comparing only three scriptures
Gen. 1:14, Psm. 104:19, and Lev. 23:3. The word
Feast in Lev. 23:3 (speaking of the weekly Sabbath
Appointment) is the same word as seasons in both
Gen. 1:14 and Psm. 104:19, and is saying the Moon
is for Sabbaths just as sure as you are reading
this book. (See concordance).
