Shabbat Shalom again.

This time around, I want to cover the lunisolar calendar, and how this affects the days one is supposed to work. Most Christians are fooled by the idea of a repeating 6 day/1 day cycle, which actually comes from Constantine in the 4th century AD. This is what the Roman Catholic Church enforces when it comes to the calendar, which is a solar-only calendar intead of a different one.

§The Lunisolar Calendar

The lunisloar calendar is a 29.5 day cycle (some months being 29 days, the others being 30), and has four rest days, which are the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of the month. These are classified as your Sabbaths (Shabbatot in the Hebrew). There’s way more to this, but I will provide my thoughts on it, and why I posted something asking people not to zap it last week. Most references piggyback off of the work of David Nikao Wilcoxson, who studied this in depth for a long time.

The basic idea of this calendar is that it’s one that was practiced for at least 3,000 years. This calendar in particular was the exact calendar we were taught in the Scriptures, which Catholic leadership and Jesuits don’t want us to understand. More on that later. For now, though, let us take a look into how a day is supposed to be structured, as follows.

§The Daylight Cycle

The day starts at sunrise, and not sunset like how the Jesuits wanted it. It was always the former, as the term boqer (Strongs H1242) is the morning; whereas yom (Strongs H3117) means day, laylah (Strongs H3915) is night and ereb (Strongs H6153) is evening. Genesis 1 makes the assertion of how a day is structured, as follows in Verse 5:

“And God called the Light, Day (Yom), and the darkenes, he called Night (Laylah). So the evening (Ereb) and the morning (Boqer) were the first day.”

Think about this for a second. Does it clearly state that a day starts at sunset, and end at a different sunset? This certainly can’t match the natural order of things. However, the only sunset to sunset in the Scriptures is the Day of Attonement (Yom Kippurim), which starts at sunset the day prior, and ends at sunset the day of.

Beside that, Genesis 1:5 clearly talks about the day starting just when the sun rises, as creation was done during the daytime, and not during the evening (as that was a rest). This is what’s classified as a full day. This is why you’d observe a Shabbat (a lunisolar Shabbat for me, as I had described) during the daytime, and not during the night, for that doesn’t make any sense in the grand scheme of things.

To see when a day ends, let us take a look at Exodus 12:5,6 in order to know exactly when a day ends, as follows:

“Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of a year old: ye shall take it of the lambs, or of the kids.
 And ye shall keep it untill the fourteenth day of this month: then all the multitude of the Congregation of Israel shall kill it at even”

This clearly talks about when the lamb is to be killed during passover. Keep in mind that animal sacrifices are not necessary after 31 AD due to the death of Messiah as the sacrificial lamb (This was on March 13th of that year). It’s during the night (laylah), which falls between dusk (ereb) and dawn (boqer).

Exodus 12:7-10 dictate that the lamb was to be eaten on the Passover, the 14th day of Nisan, before the next morning (the Shabbat on the 15th day of the month). It was eaten or burned.

§Why Saturday and Sunday are Not the Weekly Shabbat

The home page of Wilcoxson’s site for this calendar proves why a repeating 6 work day/1 Sabbath cycle is completely fraudulent. Let me get into that a bit with how the Shabbat works.

Many people who came out of Romanism believe that Scripture mandates a repeating cycle of 6 work days and 1 rest day, though Seventh Day Adventists will proclaim that Sunday Shabbat is the Mark of the Beast (wholly unproven, by the way). I was SDA for a while, but thought it was much more insidious than that, surely.

When Messiah carried out his ministry, there was an 8-day calendar the Romans were using at the time, so no 7-day week. Saturday wasn’t even a thing at all, even. That said, Constantine would move the Shabbat to the 7th day (which is Saturday) in the 4th century, as mentioned, where he thought to change the times and the seasons. Antichrist Beast Pope Gregory XIII would reform it once again to his calendar, reflecting the solar cycle accurately, dropping 10 days from the calendar.

This current 7th day is offset by three, causing the theory of 6 work days/1 rest day to be completely broken down. This clearly shows that Saturday was not always the 7th day of the Roman calendar.

All of this is to say that a Scriptual Shabbat cannot be every 7 days, and this solar cycle is interrupted with a New Moon (Rosh Chodesh) at the head of the month, which is commanded. That is what invalidates the Roman solar calendar’s importance in determining the Shabbat. This study proves that big time.

§Conclusion

This is a relatively new deal for me, and I’ve been doing it for a few months at this point. I’ve been much better with it, and understanding the calendar more than even my elders (and they’re supposed to know the truth… but I guess the Jesuits got them down bad for taking the Mark of the Beast by revering [forehead] and obeying [right hand] the Pope). Then again, I’m still learning this, and hopefully, this starts you testing what I’ve said against the Scriptures.

Shalom.
