The lunar Sabbatarians are saying that there are Three Months in a Row in the Bible to prove their calendar to be Biblical, and the Gregorian calendar, that we use today, is a fraud.
“The calendar details of the months of the Exodus, the manna, and the mountain reveal divine lessons of the most vital and solemn importance. As often as these colorful stories are told and retold, their application to time is just as often overlooked. In the first month of Abib, just prior to the Exodus, the Lord Yahuwah introduced His calendar. In the second month of Iyar, He confirmed His forgotten calendar's layout, and true seventh-day Sabbaths, in a most unmistakable way when He sent the manna from heaven. In the third month the Lord Yahuwah fully restored and established His calendation system with the date of
“The modern Roman Gregorian calendar is not one and the same as that of scripture, because it is an utter impossibility for it to have three consecutive months in a row that are identical. Specifically this means that because the weeks float throughout the months it is not possible to have the days of the week match the days of the month for three consecutive months. Exodus 12, 16, and 19” www.worldslastchance.com, “Three Months in a Row.”
They also say, that the Sabbaths are always fixed on 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th of each and every month.
“The seventh-day Sabbath thus fell on every 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of the lunar month.” www.worldslastchance.come, “Time by Design”
Let us examine the scripture carefully to see if it is true.
If the weekly Sabbaths are fixed on 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th of each and every month, then God should have told it clearly in scripture. Out of the 31,173 verses in the Bible not even a single verse talks about the seventh day Sabbath being fixed on 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th.
God clearly specifies many important days that are fixed to the dates of the month.
New moon is fixed on the 1st of every month is mentioned The Passover is fixed on the 14th of the first month is mentioned. The Feast of Trumpets is fixed on 1st day of the seventh month is mentioned. The Day of Atonement is fixed on the 10th day of the seventh month is mentioned. The Feast of the Unleavened Bread (first month) has two Sabbaths fixed (15th and 21st) is mentioned. The feast of Tabernacles (seven month) has two Sabbaths fixed (15th and 22nd) is mentioned.
If the weekly Sabbath is fixed on particular dates of the lunar month, why isn’t it mentioned anywhere in scriptures? Did God forget to mention the most important day?
The lunar Sabbatarians try to say to us, if Sabbath is fixed on Saturday then where is it given in Scriptures that Sabbath is fixed on Saturday?
How can the name, Saturday, appear in scriptures because the names of the week were given by the Romans after the scripture period! On the other hand the lunar Sabbatarians can’t say this because the numerical (1st day, 2nd day, 3rd day, etc.) is used as a method to identify days in the Bible from the beginning to the end, and not even in a single instance God declared 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th are fixed Sabbaths!
In the Bible the word Sabbath/seventh day is mentioned close to 170 times, it is said. And out of these 170 references the scriptures does not identify the Sabbath to any date of the month, except in one or two instances.
For someone to take these couple of instances and build a doctrine, and having no information about the bulk of the other passages (98—99%) on the same subject is unsound way of Biblical interpretation.
For example, the time prophecies are amazing in its fulfillment. Consider this prophecy.
“And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the
This prophecy got fulfilled not only to the very year of prediction, but also the very day! Do we therefore conclude that all time prophecies should be fulfilled likewise?
Because there couple of instances where one can find a Sabbath on one of these days of 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th, does that prove that all Sabbaths of scripture must be on only those dates?
