I
will begin with the assumption that day
one of Creation week was the 1st work day of the
year, month, and week. Everyone must agree it was
the 1st work day of the week even if they don’t
agree that it was the 1st day of the year or month.
If it was the 1st work day of the week when He said
let there be light and divided it etc, then on day
two of the same week He did something else. Then
on the 3rd day, he did something else, all still
in the 1st week of Creation. Then comes the 4th
work day of the week, and He made the Great Lights
to rule the day and the night and set up His calendar
and said let them be for days and years and signs
and seasons (appointments) even if the sun and moon
was created on day four, it doesn’t say what
phase the moon was in or what position the sun was
in, but to b e an accurate calendar the sun would
have to reflect a fourth workday of the year, and
the moon would be in a fourth work day phase or
you would have three days before the 1st day of
the month and three days before the 1st day of the
year. In other words day one was not the first day
of the year (Abib) and day one was not the 1st day
of the month, but you can’t deny day one as
being the first day or the week. If people want
a new moon phase on day four, then you would have
three days belonging to some other time period,
and instead of 365 ½ days in the 1st year
of creation, you would have 365 ½ plus 3
days in the 1st year.
Now,
if you let the day four calendar
reflect a fourth work day and a fourth day phase
then you have a 1st quarter moon on the seventh
day signaling the appointment of rest. Everywhere
in the scriptures where you can pinpoint a new moon
or Sabbath the week is identical to the creation
week with a 1st quarter moon in the 1st week, full
moon in the 2nd week, etc.
There
are at least 16 months pinpointed in the
scriptures each consisting of four weeks and the
1st week of each of the months are exactly like
the week that Moses describes in Genesis 1. No where
in the scriptures does a weekly Sabbath come 3 days
after the new moon, but we can show 16 places where
the weekly Sabbaths were on the 7th day after the
six work days by the moon.
All
days recorded in the Scriptures were lunar
days and lunar months and lunar weeks, lunar Sabbath.
Remember if you try to put a new moon on day four,
you will have a 29 or 30 day month plus the three
days before day four, a total of 32 or 33 days in
the 1st month at creation, and that is against nature
itself and no where in scripture where a Sabbath
can be proved 3 days after a new moon, but can be
proved on 8th day of the new moon counting the new
moon day as day one, or if you count day 2 the new
moon day as day one , or if you count day 2 as 1st
work and after 6 work days (2-7) you will have a
Sabbath.
If
one were to insist that day 4 was the first
day of the month because on that day the moon was
created, then by the exact same logic one would
have to insist that day four was the 1st day of
the year also because the sun was created on that
day also and the sun regulates the years, the same
as the moon regulates the month. Now if this were
true then the 1st month would have three more days
and the 1st year would have three more days than
any other year has ever had. And if you were to
disregard the first three days of the 1st creation
week would belong to an incomplete year and month.
If the year and month really did begin on day four,
because that is when the calendar was set up and
the sun and moon created and day four was the 1st
day of the year and 1st day of the month, then day
four should also be the 1st day of the week also.
