Lunar Sabbath Biblical or PAGAN? 

Seeing that it’s recorded in history that the Greeks and Romans noticed Israel rested the Sabbath every week and decided to attack them on “Saturn-Day” seems like pretty straightforward evidence to me that we are figuring out new things to argue about. Good Job Lex

The bible mentions New Moon Days in about 25% of the references to Sabbaths. See how Constantine changed the calendar when he made Christianity "legal".

“And Elohiym said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for appointed feasts, and for days, and years: BERE'SHIYTH (GENESIS) 1:14 את CEPHER “He made the moon also to serve in her season for a declaration of times, and a sign of the world. From the moon is the sign of feasts, a light that decreases in her perfection.” SIRACH (ECCLESIASTICUS) 43:6-7 את CEPHER “All the time that the moon is in progress with its light, it is poured in the presence of the sun, until light is in fourteen days completed in heaven. And when it is wholly extinguished, its light is consumed in heaven; and on the first day it is called the New Moon, for on that day light is received into it.” CHANOK (ENOCH) 78:13-14 את CEPHER “Blow the shofar on the dark New Moon today on our solemn feast. For this was a statute for Yashar'el, and a law of the Elohiym of Ya`aqov.” TEHILLIYM (PSALMS) 81:3-4 את CEPHER There are plenty of examples of the moon being used to measure the times. Before there were modern calendars, all we could do was look up. Just because Heathens used the moon to observe their times doesn’t mean the children of Israel did not do the same. Moses threw down his staff and it became a snake and Pharaoh’s servants did the same. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I think the reason why there is confusion here as to whether this is truly biblical or pagan is because it’s being done incorrectly, but when done correctly it actually flows perfectly from month to month. There are no “non days,” or “extra-days.” That simply comes from trying to mix in the Gregorian calendar. I’d be careful to call this one Pagan Lex. Keep digging. The journey on this one can’t be concluded just yet.

To further support this teaching, consider that the weekly Sabbath / 7th day of the week was kept by Yeshua AND that reoccuring 7th day has not changed since he kept it. Col 2:6 " Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him"

In EZK 46:1 It says there that the gate in the inner court should be shut in the 6 working days but it should be open in the new moon and on the Sabbath so thats a total of 8 days and mentioning 3 categories of days. and not 2 only like the 7 uninterrupted continuous days. My question is if the New Moon somehow landed in the middle of the 7 continuous day cycle then is the gate going to be open or shut?

This is our understanding as well. We are so looking forward to Messiah uniting us in all things in His Kingdom!

You have not mentioned anything concerning the New moon day mentioned in scriptures concerning this day. It mentions 6 work days ,sabbath, new moon.Ezk 46:1. 6days+2days =8 days. So where do you count a new moon according to scripture? Because it’s mention all over scripture to be kept.

So honest question here... If Saturday is sabbath always, and no fire can be kindled and nonfood.may be cooked, what do you do when passover lands on Saturday. Do you break the sabbath rule of not fire or cooking? Or the passover rule to roast your land over fire??

One thing I know, our current calendar in use is pagan. There's no way around its deception and decrepitness. You can't keep a Yah-given Shabbat on a man-made, pagan calendar. Make that make sense? Times and laws changed is exactly what Daniel 7:25 talks about. Which is why our time keeping elements are in the heavens where we don't have access, because the attempt to change may be factual, i.e. days of the week, months of the year, removal of festivals new moon observation and inserting pagan holidays, juxtaposing the beginning of the year-- but the truth can't be tampered with. Not by finite men. It was made for us, not by us.

Ezekiel 46:1 tells us what the 1st and 30th days are, they are New Moon days. Days on which the gates are open, like the Sabbath days and unlike the 6 working days. A third class of day. I notice you mention Leviticus 23:2 but leave off verse 3 that lists the Sabbaths as the first type of feast days. I've always wondered how come the Sabbaths are being taught based on the continuous cycle of a man made calendar when they are listed as a feast day with the annual feast days reckoned by His holy calendar. Also, how come the two 7 day feasts never mention a mid- feast Sabbath day? Could the Saturday keepers be adding something to His word? I suppose it is very true when it is said we find what we look for. May I suggest you try to prove the Lunar Sabbath and new moon days. If it cannot be proved, then keep your Saturday. If it can be proved.... "When an honest man discovers he is mistaken, he will either cease being mistaken, or he will cease being honest."

Thanks Lex. Since finding "Christian videos" on YT, I have never encountered so many people who speak and believe so much nonsense. As a young man, I thought people who went to "churches" were really knowledgeable about GOD. In the brief period I actually attended church, I found my previous beliefs totally wrong. Most churchmen believe a bunch of nonsense that is either not in the Bible or something that was twisted from snippets of Paul's letters. Even when you do a word for word study with them, they still will not let go of erroneous doctrines they were taught. For my Wife and me, the first piece in the "church of cards" was the observing the 7th Day Sabbath. Whew, Baptists don't wanna let go of SUNday. And they certainly don't want to be "under the law" lest they be cursed! I don't know where they got this nonsense from. Obey God's Commandments and you will be BLESSED/Disobey God's Commandments and you will be CURSED. That's what is written in my Bibles! After leaving "the church", much independent study and watching videos like yours as well as 119 Ministries, Monte Judah, Triumph in Truth and Rood Awakening, I have a pretty good handle on the truth and how "churchmen" have perpetuated SO MANY grievous lies. Even more lies can be found when you look at "church history" and what was said by so-called "church fathers"! And now upon coming into the Messianic Belief, I have unfortunately encountered just as many flawed teachings and beliefs not based on the Scriptures. (People can't even agree on the Names and many INSIST they are the only ones who know and if you don't say the Names their way, you somehow are sorely misled and even possibly worshipping some pagan false god.) The first time I heard about the Lunar Sabbath, I though someone was pulling my leg. Nope, people actually believe this nonsense and will fight you over it! I will be so happy when Yeshua returns to set all of this straight. From the Names, to the Calendars to how to PROPERLY observe the Moedim. Be Blessed and continue to help us all "Unlearn the Lies"!

“Gregorian Saturday Sabbath keepers”, please answer this important question. It is very plain in the Bible that the new moon day is the first day, the beginning of God’s months. The Gregorian calendar do not start its months with the new moon day. So, explain to me how can Saturday be God’s true Sabbath day?

God literally said to keep the Sabbath on THE SEVENTH DAY, not on the day of the new moon. It doesn't get any more clear than that.

Thank you this is very helpful for clarification, very thorough and complete!

The bible mentions 8th days many times. Its symbolic of a "new beginning" or the completion of the 7 day cycle.

Nobody had iPhones or watches in Biblical times. The moon was created to be a universal monthly time keeper. The word moon means month. The new moon determined the start of the month and calendar days were counted from there.

Lex, I just had this discussion and have been diving deep into this. The extra days was def my hang up. But what about these 2 things?: 1. The new moon days. There is a definite command to keep them as rest days. And they where not nailed to the cross as the moon days are just a way to keep time. Paul affirms this in Colossians. 2. If you where on crashed on a deserted island, and where unconscious for a while. How would you know when to keep the Sabbath? There is no provision for that in the more popular method of keeping the Sabbath. I have to admit I am torn between the 2, and the non-provision for keeping the Sabbath I’ve been keeping this far, from the natural world, makes me very suspicious. God ALWAYS makes provision. And the luminaries in the sky set forth from the 4th day of creation were out there exactly to tell time.

How sir do you reconcile Isaiah 66:23?? New to to new moon??? Where does that fit in to seven continuous divisible days ? All flesh will come to worship New moon to new moon and sabbath to sabbath

What about the fact that the ancient Hebrew month doesn’t start at the same time as the modern month?

Thank you Pastor Lex for these teachings. I didn't even know this was a thing. Hey I have 1 word of improvement I'd like to see in these videos; when you do the BIBLE quotations, can you put the version that you get it from at the bottom?

“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, saith יהוה.” (Isa 66:23, RNKJV) “Thus saith the Sovereign יהוה; 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.” (Eze 46:1, RNKJV) Looking at Ezekiel, the gate stay shut for 6 working days but on the Sabbath and New Moon, it is open. Since new moon is day one (gate open), then afterwards, 6 working days (gate close), then Sabbath (gate open).

Ooh calling people out to repent is a bit harsh. They aren't purposefully practicing paganism for the most part. You can't claim to know which day is the true Sabbath by the Gregorian calendar. We are all trying to find Yah's will and do it. It's written that the times would be confusing for us. I don't think judging each other and pointing the Repent Finger really helps anyone.

Just adding to the confusion ? I'm not sure if you are recommending that we keep Sabbath using the Roman Gregorian solar calendar with the days named after pagan gods or an alternate lunar calendar which you didn't mention. Also I'm assuming you put no stock in the extra biblical book of Enoch to help in this matter?

In my studies… the best I could conclude is that there are different calendars. The daily calendar (24hrs) the weekly calendar (7days) the lunar calendar (crescent to crescent) and the solar calendar (abib to abib)

It would seem to me that since these things were stated by "the mother church" and illegitimate "church fathers", we all know EXACTLY what day the TRUE Sabbath is. Brothers and Sisters, let's talk about the Council of Laodicea - 364 AD: We have easily found information on Constantine and the Sabbath. One of the goals of this council was to discourage Sabbath keeping in the Eastern Roman Empire during this time; most Christians in the East still observed the Sabbath. The canons, or final conclusions issues by council, confirm this detail. We have some quotes below: “Canon 16: The Gospels are to be read on the Sabbath [i.e. Saturday], with the other Scriptures. Canon 29: Christians shall not Judaize and be idle on Saturday, but shall work on that day; but the Lord’s day they shall especially honour, and, as being Christians, shall if possible, do no work on that day. If, however, they are found Judaizing, they shall be shut out from Christ. Canon 37: No one shall accept festal presents from Jews and heretics, or keep the festivals with them.” The Romans knew all too well what day it was and so did the "Christians" who still obeyed YeHoVaH's instructions. An interesting side note is that when "the Lord's Day" is mentioned in the Scriptures, it's the day of GOD's wrath... It is NEVER stated that it is a day to worship "Jesus"...

I follow, and agree. My question is: how do we trace back the actual 7 day cycle? I am fairly certain the Gregorian calendar is also inaccurate. Furthermore, does it make a difference post-Messiah, and could this be one example of what Yahshua was Redeeming us from? I desire to keep the Sabbath, personally...and to follow as much of Torah as possible. Not for salvation, since salvation is by Grace...but because GOD Stated it Pleases HIM, and in my experience, following HIS Law seems to bring Blessings. Any thoughts/comments on this appreciated!

I've been studying this subject. Using the Bible alone I simply to NOT see the 7th day sabbath to be timed based on the moon. Also, Yeshua kept the 7th day Sabbath with Israel. That repeating weekly cycle has not changed since. I'm going to follow His lead on this one. Shalom

So what did they do during holy feast days? The 14th is a sabbath the 15th start passover or even tabernacle, so that means they had sabbath and a high holy day back to back..

I’m still new to the lunar cycle idea but. What are we to do with this scripture then if observance of new moons is moon worship as suggested in this video? Isaiah 66:22&23 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. 23 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, saith the LORD.

Here's where I couldn't reconcile the lunar sabbath argument. If the Passover takes place on the evening of the 14, and 15 day of the month is Unleavened bread. And the lunar sabbath calculate the weekly sabbath landing on day 15 also; then what 'sabbath' day was coming to an end as Mary came to the grave as day dawned, to find Jesus risen 3 days and 3 nights later? It just doesn't fit with Scripture. What is frustrating about this topic, is that it confuses and discourages those christians I've witnessed to who were coming around and seeing how sabbath is on the seventh day and feasts etc...but then they hear this and back off thinking how loony it all must be. :(. I know my lunar sabbath friends have good intentions, but I do see this topic really messing with the bringing together of the two sticks.

Good points about this . Thanks.I have one issue , that many refuse to look at . The date line we have now has been changed by man . The biblical date line starts at Jerusalem . So the territory between the new date line and the real one in Jerusalem is one day behind . So their sunday is really on Sabbath . Sunset to sunset is on the wrong day in this territory . What do you think about this ? Thanks again .

I understand that the lunar shabbat is not biblical but babilonian, so how you do it then? What calendar you use?. Btw, that sounds like The Enoch calendar.

When the plague of hail fell in the early part of Abib (Month 1), the wheat was not destroyed because it was unripe (it had not even sprouted). The Tyndale Bible supports this understanding: "but the wheat and the rye were not smitten, for they were late sown." (Ex 9:32, Tyndale Translation) In order for the wheat to have been ready for harvest by the 9th day of the third lunation (Sivan 9), it would have had to go from seed to harvest in about two months! This is simply not possible. Wheat generally takes 100-120 days to mature (about 3 1/2 - 4 months).

In some languages, the 7th day is even called Sabbath or Shabbat. For example, Spanish "sabado" or in Italian "Sabato".

Never though about this before. Thanks for the explanation. My question is when and who changed how we reconcile the start of a day from sunset to sunset to midnight to midnight. The backdrop of this question is my Sunday keeping friends making reference to Act 20 with Paul preaching on the first day?

When did you celebrate Shabout? It seems some did yesterday and some last week. Which was correct? Thank you

Non-day? What in blazes? Where'd they even get that?

So, if the Gregorian calendar and the Julian calendar weren't around during Exodus, what calendar was? From what I understand from the Lunar calendar believers is that there was NO calendar back then, no monday, tuesday, etc. (obviously) and the Israelites looked to the moon and sun (new moon is mentioned in the Bible a lot) to establish their month (moon) and sun (days). Sabbath today is sundown to sundown. Month should be new moon to new moon? You get 4 Sabbaths in that time, separated by 6 days... We all know God created the moon, not pagans... So my question is still what calendar did the Israelites use to decipher the Sabbath days? Or did they use the sun and the moon?

I stay with the Rabbinic Jewish calendar. Too many ifs with the lunar. I've done it for almost 4 years.

We were forced into the pharohsean model of keeping the Sabbath, 325 AD. That's when Christians stopped being persecuted by Rome. Laminations 2:6. New International Version He has laid waste his dwelling like a garden; he has destroyed his place of meeting. The LORD has made Zion forget her appointed festivals and her Sabbaths; in his fierce anger he has spurned both king and priest. The time will come when the true Sabbath is reestablished. Genesis 1:14. New International Version And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, God's calendar is out of our reach. The sky and bible are all we need to determine the Seasons (Sabbaths).

Good job, Lex.

Can you provide a respone to "Ministers of the New Covenant" video "(A Response to Lex Meyer of UNLEARN)" - would be interesting how you handle his arguments.

Eze 46:1 Mentions 3 distinct days. 1. Work days 2. New moon days 3. Sabaath days

Okay well what calendar do I use to start counting the 7 days???

Thank you for a clear explanation and research. I just like to add that on the new earth, weekly 7th day Sabbaths and lunar sabbath will both be days of worship (Isa 66:22-23). If the weekly cycles do not line up with the lunar cycle, they will not be consistent as it is now, but things could be different on the new earth, the lunar sabbath could be exactly 28 days apart, and only then we could use the moon as a guide for the weekly sabbath. Praise YHVH & Ἰησοῦ \'Ē·,sōh\ Jesus for all our blessings.

I have been wondering about this. I'm glad to have some clarity. However, like others here I don't know if the Gregorian calendar is accurate in its order.

Point! On Target! Also on Day 4 in the beginning, The moon was at which phase (New Moon or Full Moon)? Then three days later... Thanks for putting the video up. :)

Very Good points! But I am afraid you will get some nasty hateful comments about telling the lunar sabbath keepers to repent! Let’s hope everyone remains Civil. 🙏🏻

If there is no 8 day week on occasion. How do you explain the battle of Jericho? New Moon days are not Sabbath Days nor are they considered work days. So you could have 6 work days then a New Moon day, right?

Very interesting!! What about new moon day?

Work around the world is Monday. Work 6 days including Saturday. Sunday is the Sabbath. NOT in America, but in much of the world, the week starts on Monday.

Why is it so hard to understand that Yah's Great Clock of time is in the heavens, where NO man or Pope can touch it??? Genesis 1:14 "And God 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 (Moedim), and for days, and years (time in general). The moon (luni) and the sun (solar) determine the Moedim (Yah's Feasts, assemblies, convocations, worship times), in addition to time in general, as the verse mentions the reckoning of days and years as well. Psalms 104:19 "He appointed the moon for seasons (Moedim): the sun knoweth his going down." Again, Yah declares that the moon determines all worship times by the Hebrew word Moedim, translated as seasons. Is this too difficult to understand??? I don't get the confusion people fall into. Psalms 89:37 "It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.". The moon is Yah's faithful witness in the heavens that does not lie or fail. All praise and honor to Yahweh via HIS Son Yahshua!!!

Ok , the pattern in the Bible is not 6 working days and then the Sabbath day , please explain as the expert you are, the following Bible passages New Moon Day Separate from the 6 Work Days and the Seventh-Day Sabbath: New Moon day is not counted as one of the 6 working days neither is it the seventh-day Sabbath; the new moon day starts the month as day 1 making the weekly Sabbaths to fall on 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of the lunar month. (See Ezekiel 46:1, Amos 8:5, 2Kings 4:23, and Isaiah 66:23.) Exodus 12: Passover was on the 14th of the first month. The first day of the feast of unleavened bread was on the 15th which was a Sabbath (See Leviticus 23: 4-16). This makes the Sabbaths for the first month (Abib) to have fallen on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and the 29th. (Exodus 12.) Exodus 16: Manna fell for the six week days, but did not fall on the Sabbath which fell on the 22nd, making the other Sabbaths for that month fall on the 8th, 15th and 29th. (Exodus 16.) Exodus 19 Israel left Egypt the night of Abib 15. Three months later, on the very same day, the 15th, they rested before the mount. (See Deuteronomy 16:1; Numbers 33:3; Exodus 19:1-2.), thus making the Sabbaths for the third month (as recorded in Exodus 19:1) fall on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th. The weekly Sabbaths for the first month (Exodus 12) and the second month (Exodus 16) fell on the same dates also; this is not possible on today's Gregorian Roman calendar which people use to identify their worship days. Annual Feasts and High Sabbaths: Every year, the feast of unleavened bread begins on the 15th, a Sabbath. The first day of feast of Tabernacles also falls on the 15th which is called a "holy convocation" and is followed, eight days later by another "holy convocation" on the 22nd, every single year. Two Sabbaths always falling on the 15th cannot occur on a solar calendar. (See Numbers 29:12-39; Leviticus 23:5, 6, 34, 35, 39). Entering Canaan: The manna never fell on the seventh-day Sabbath. After entering Canaan, Israel kept Passover. The manna ceased on the 16th of Abib, the day after the Sabbath: Exodus 16; Joshua 5:10-12. This places the Sabbath for this month on 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th. Dedication of Priesthood: Aaron and his sons were sanctified for seven days beginning on New Moon Day (See Exodus 40: 2, 17). On the eighth day (which was also the 8th of the month), there was an assembly of the congregation. During the preceding seven days, they were not to leave the tabernacle. (See Leviticus 8:1- 13; 33-35; 9:1-5). From Exodus 40: 17 we learn that it was the first month (Abib) of the second year after their departure from Egypt, in which Passover was to be kept; this is a double confirmation that the Sabbaths for this month fell on 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th. Solomon: Solomon kept the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days. On the 8th day (22nd of the month) they made a solemn assembly. Solomon sent the people away on the 23rd, being careful not to send them away on the 22nd, the Sabbath. (See 2 Chronicles 7:8-10). This places the Sabbath for the seventh month on 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th. Esther 9: The 15th of the 12th month was a rest day, making the 8th, 22nd and 29th rest days as well. (Esther 9.) Hezekiah's Reform: The people began to sanctify on New Moon day of the first month and on the 8th of the month they went to the temple. On the 16th of the month, they "made an end" which was the first day of the work week. (2 Chronicles 29:17.) Crucifixion: Passover was always on the 14th of Abib. (Leviticus 23:5.) Christ's crucifixion occurred on Passover, on the sixth day of the week. Passover always occurred on the sixth day of the week, followed by the seventh-day Sabbath on the 15th. (See Mark 15:42; John 19:31; Lev. 23:6, 7, 11 and 15; John 19:42.) Resurrection: Christ was resurrected early in the morning on the first day of the week. (Matthew 28:1; Mark 16:1 and 2; Luke 24:1; John 20:1.) Christ was resurrected on the 16th of Abib, the first day of the week, corresponding to the wave sheaf offering, or first fruits. (Leviticus 23:11.) Paul called Christ the "first fruits of them that sleep" and stated that He was buried and rose the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:3, 4 and 20-23.) On the walk to Emmaus, the two disciples told Christ that it was the third day since the crucifixion. (Luke 24:17-21.) The crucifixion week establishes the weekly seventh-day Sabbath on Abib 15, thus making the 8th, 22nd and 29th days Sabbaths as well. Healing of the Blind Man: The last day of the Feast of Tabernacles always falls on the 21st day of the seventh month: (See Leviticus 23:34, 36, 39-41; Numbers 29:12; Deuteronomy 16:13-15; Nehemiah 8:13-18; Ezekiel 45:21-25.) Christ attended the Feast of Tabernacles. (John7:10.) On the last day of the Feast, the 21st of the seventh month, Christ stood and spoke. (John 7:37.) Christ spent that night on the Mount of Olives. (John 8:1.) The next morning, the 22nd of the seventh month, Christ returned to the temple. (John 8:2.) At the temple, Christ healed a blind man. (John 9:6.) The healing of the blind man caused great anger for it was the seventh-day Sabbath. (John 9:14.) This places the weekly seventh-day Sabbaths on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of the month yet again. Paul's Journey: The first day of the work week always fell on the 2nd of the month, the day after New Moon. In Luke's account of their journey, Paul's company sailed from Philippi after the feast of unleavened bread ended on the 21st of Abib, sailed for five days and arrived at Troas where they stayed seven days. (See Acts 20:5-7.) The seventh day of their stay at Troas was the second day of the month which Paul refers to as the first day of the week. This again places the Sabbaths on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th days of the month. (For more on Paul's journey and how it corroborates the luni-solar calendar, click here.) All this information is from the website WORLD LAST CHANCE

The feast of the Lord can be found in Leviticus chapter 23. The Sabbath is one of them. There are 7 feast to be observed. Only if the Lord is your Lord.

Hi Lex I've a question ❓ God never named the days. How do we know what day is the seventh! ? My thought is to know is by faith in the Most High ! Any thoughts anyone , would help someone I know to help her understand the Sabbath day.

Shalom, I agree. The 7 day week, including the Shabat was established during the Creation Week, for it is written in many places in the bible, especially in the 4th commandment, REMEMBER the Shabat day...... For in six days The LORD made the heavens and the earth....and rested the Seventh day..... Thus pointing to when HEAVENLY FATHER established the Shabat day to be kept Heavenly Father added that last bit because HE knew men were going to come up with the Lunar Shabat, n HE did not want the people to Misunderstand HIM. "Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the LORD ".

When you look at the KJV and the Hebrew words when counting Shavuot, it's clear that you count 7 Shabbats then "recount" 50 days and the wheat harvest is in the fourth month lines up perfectly with that count and if Shavuot is a memorial of when Moses came down with the 10 commandments that count matches perfectly, he came down after 7 Shabbats plus 50 days. Yahushua also said in John, isn't it 4 months until wheat harvest. Also, in 2 volumes of the Jewish enclycepedia, it mentions that Shabbat was originally tied to the lunar cycles but it was changed and also Philo of Alexandria a contemporary of Yahushua also confirmed in his writings that the lunar phases were for days and that the full moon was the middle of the month, which is the 15th of the month, starting over from new moon. Ezekiel 46 1-3 shows there are 3 categories of days and the one verse in Isaiah 66 you left out the first half which says and from one new moon to the next. Why did leave that out? Most Shabbaths in the Bible that give a specific count always lines up with the 8th, 15th, 22nd or 29th as well. So many witnesses. satan came to change times and laws but he can't mess with Yah's calendar in the sky. Man can't even break through the firmament to try and mess with it.

I can’t like this enough. Right on. 7th day sabbath can be gleaned by readings scripture, lunar sabbath must be gleaned by someone teaching it to you - there’s your sign.

Is there any information that the Hebrews kept the sabbath while captive, or when they traveled outside of the holy land?

Is there a way to see a working calendar for all sabbath dates and holiday in accordance with the bible?

You are not using Yahua's calendar, you are using the incorrect Gregorian calendar.

So I have a question regarding the Sabbath, does it start from sunset of friday to sunset of saturday

Keeping Pope Gregory's Saturday? 🤔

I use a moon calendar to line up each month correctly. And make a 13th month every 2 years being 11 days short.

Hi Lex. Thank you for this video. I have a question I have not been able to get an answer to. Let's say, for example, that I wake up shipwrecked on an island. I have no calendar, no computer - nothing. I don't even know what day of the week it is. I just know the month. How would I even begin to be able to calculate the correct days for the Sabbath and Holy days?

Happy Sabbath everyone watching from New Zealand

The problem is we on the Gregorian calendar only have 12 months technically there are 13 months and there are 28 days in it it's not 365 days in a year it's actually 364 according to the Bible so actually it's still the lunar but it's only 28 days after 28 days the only extra days is because of the month that's because actually we should be counting 28 days every 28 days or But I get what he's saying... When Jacobs mother blesses him she says may you have as many children as the months Jacob had 13 children 12 were boys and one girl Dina

sooo much incorrect information in this video.

Enoch spoke About this it says the Sun will choose the sabbath day beginning and end Not moons Moon really meant month but when we follow sun there's not a problem Only when you follow a inconsistent moon setup by Pharisees

Hi , my name is Carl. I thank you for investigating the scriptures in the lunar calendar. I agree. Than how about the weeks? 52x7 or 50x7 ? 50 sounds better. Ok. 50x7 = 350 days in a year. Instead of 364. 14 days shorter.

Hey Lex,,,,Do you have a video on what happens to a Christian that dies,,,,,does he go straight to Heaven or does he wait until the first resurrection? (I didnt see anything in your list of videos,,,unless I overlooked it)

There's no mention of leap years in the Bible, neither. But I would like to direct you to Genesis 1:14.

ive considered the lunar sabbath. Than while i was searching about it i realized people were making an idol of the moon

It is called hallowed days . A hallowed is the curry over of a new month

What Name did God give the Yisrealites for our Lord and Saviour???

You likely think that a DAY begins at sundown too. You do err on many understandings. You do not understand the count to Feast if Weeks. If you understand the proper count and the Lunar Sabbath and King Hezekiah's 10° sundial then you would see that the Lunar Calendar perfectly dictates the Sabbath. Also the 3 DAYS and 3 NIGHTS fits perfectly.

What does one do on new moons, and is a new moon a full moon or the first sliver of a moon.

GREAT STUFF! ADDED TO OUR PLAYLIST !

Many don’t realize there are feast day sabbaths and the 7th day Sabbath. They are two very different things

I am guessing it started with psalms 81 saying to blow the shofar at the new moon, I seem to remember it somewhere else too but that’s probably how it was tied to a sabbath. I think tue better question is what day is the new moon.

Here's the connection between the MOON (New Moon) and WEEKLY SABBATH right from Scripture itself: "ISAIAH 66:23 - 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, SAITH THE LORD." One more thing to note is that the NEW MOON & WEEKLY SABBATH Relationship was given to the Israelites in the Wilderness of SINAI long before they came in contact with the BABYLONIAN CULTURE /CULT of seventh/holy/evil day.

Shavuot... using math based on biblical scriptures: During 7 biblical weeks, there is one biblical new moon feast. That's why 7x7=49, and the bible mentions 50 days, because there is one new moon biblical feast. 7x7+1=50. It's not pagan to follow the biblical lunar shabbat and new moon feast. If you think it is pagan to follow biblical stuff, then you mean it is pagan to follow biblical moedim too? Also, the moedim align with the lunar shabbats too, for example, every Pesach is a full moon shabbat, mentioned in the bible too. Saturn-day is from the pagan, roman empire, now called catholic org. They actually pushed down on not allowing the Yahudim, Israelis, from keeping their lunar shabbat, because that, with the new moon feast, messed with the roman empire's business needs in that area when they took over that area of the Yahudim. So unfortunately, keeping Saturn-day is actually a pagan day, but doesn't make one a pagan directly, it's just something in the fallen world that is deception from roman empire/ romanism... catholic org. They, the catholic org, that saturday is the shabbat, and sunday is the day of consecration, attending an org building together. This is in their canon. Also, the founder of seventh day adventist actually wrote about how the biblical lunar shabbat is actually the truth, however, that if they moved back to the original biblical lunar shabbat, and new moon feast, then they couldn't keep their church building business, because shabbat wouldn't stay on a roman empire weekend, and they wouldn't get their charity/funding weekly. So they, and other churches keep the pagan saturn-day and/or sun-day as shabbat, and don't also do the biblical new moon feast, because it would make their church business economically collapse. However, because of this issue, it isn't good to judge others. And it is hard to do biblical shabbat because most work roman weekdays, and that is just an issue in this fallen world we can't easily change. So, I suggest those who can do the biblical lunar shabbats, new moon feasts, and moedim, then cool, and enjoy. Most can't keep the biblical shabbat, and have to still do at least one day of rest and focus on our Creator/Savior, and reset the week, they will have to use a saturn-day or a sun-day... not because they focus on pagan romanism... they still focus on the Creator/Savior. True knowledge is okay to learn, but judging others isn't the right thing, and it's good to helping others understand the challenges of life in this fallen world, and how to trust in HIM to get through it. Everyone, be at peace. Literally, we all need HIS grace and mercy. Blessings to you all.

Do an experiment for us please. Get a calender with a continuous weekly sabbath as the one we use today. Lets say, Abid 14 falls on a Wednesday. Now, count seven sabbaths as commanded in Leviticus 23:1--"And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:".... Check and see if you will ever get 50 days on the day following the seventh Sabbath..... Impossible... I am doing my research.... Please continue to do yours and see what you come up with. Bless.

Hello please explain future prophecies Isaiah 66:22-24, and Colossians 2:16-17 thanks

Did Moses create the Gregorian calendar last we forget God’s calendar is not man’s calendar yet you make your calculation of man’s calendar I suggest you seek light from the word

Such an irony. Talk about projection. One of the most common accusations coming from Lunar Sabbath keepers is that the Jews were influenced by Babylonian religion and forsook the "Biblical" lunar Sabbath. Great video!

Thank you sir!

I thank for making this video, it simplified things for me and I like to keep things simple. There was a video from a channel (which I stopped subscribing to) here on RU-vid which promoted the Lunar Sabbath concept although I think they called it a luniesolar calendar or something like that and talked about God's Calendar vs Rome's Calendar. Things for this video and keeps things simple.

Gamaliel a Rabbi Pharisee is claimed to be responsible for the way the Civil calendar is kept today, and where the Gregorian calendar might have been imitated, but as for the sacred calendar, during the time when the temple was standing individuals who were trusted Witnesses for the temple would watch the night sky and as they would count every 29 to 30 or 31 days they would keep record with two Clerks; of two witnesses of whoever it was during that timeframe when the new Moon would happen: and the temple would keep a record from the witnesses of the first night of the new moon until the day before the next new moon to keep track of time. It was never about the Moon it was a way of just keeping track of the days and nights.

I realize non- day is a stretch but there are New Moon days from Ezekiel 46:1-3 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “The gateway of the inner court that faces toward the east shall be shut the six aworking days; but on the Sabbath it shall be opened, and on the day of the New Moon it shall be opened. 2 bThe prince shall enter by way of the vestibule of the gateway from the outside, and stand by the gatepost. The priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings. He shall worship at the threshold of the gate. Then he shall go out, but the gate shall not be shut until evening. 3 Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the entrance to this gateway before the Lord on the Sabbaths and the New Moons. This says to me there are 3 tyes of days each lunar month. What convicted me to keep lunar Sabbaths is Leviticus 23. The 6 day working, 7th day rest is mentioned first when the LORD says we are to keep His feasts. I do not wish to argue or debate with anyone; I'm simply giving scripture to consider.

Thanks for your intellictual thinking.

Ok so because you dont understand it you claim its wrong and revert to rome!

What's your thoughts on the Enoch solar calander?

You assume that the moon was in a particular phase on the fourth day that it was created. You also assume that the pattern is uninterrupted; there is no scriptural reference for that. Just because other religions do something doesn't mean that it wasn't stolen from God's word. If the Sumerians, Assyrians, Babylonians, etc prayed to their "gods" does that mean we are following pagan practices.

I'd like to add something here.... I see a lot of the lunar sabbath proponents say that we weekly keepers time it based on the gregorian calendar. That is simply NOT true. The man made naming and numbering of a day ***does not drive** when the 7th day occurs. It's nothing more than a name created by pagans. In the Hebrew calendar six days have numbers but one has a name. A God described name. And Yeshua affirmed it, kept it, and corrected the pharisees on its intent. I'm always open to being wrong. But this lunar sabbath things smells just like a overly complex twisting of the scriptures to me.

Agree with you more than I disagree with you, but using the fact that it says there are six work days and then a day off, so non-days can't exist, fails several other tests. And let me say I agree with you that non days aren't in the Bible and probably are something these people made up to make their system work. But your 6 days on, one day off also doesn't account for other sabbaths like Passover, or take your pick on the other six. So, should we not be resting on those or having a Sabbath on those either (high Sabbaths that fall midweek)? Careful how you make your arguments. But thanks for what you continue to do, I just think you made a boo boo here.

Real simple Saturday is the 7th day take every Saturday as the sabeth off and rest. May God bless you and keep you.

I have been keeping SHABBAT since 1915, and you are explaining SHABBAT in the same similar way it was explained to me then. You are one of many standing up for the truth from YHWH'S DOCTRINE. THANKYOU for speaking out.

The evening and the morning was the first day, the evening and the morning was the second day, that's a lunar schedule, but even when you see no moon its still a day.

Very good
