We reasoned that if the year begins while coming out of darkness (winter is ending) and into increasing light (summer is coming), and if the month begins with coming out of darkness and into increasing light (we begin the month before we can actually see the light on the moon, but after conjunction, we know there is already light growing on the moon) that it would make sense that a day also would begin coming out of darkness, and into increasing light. We also were understanding that YHUH tends to work in patterns. (Lamentations 3:22-23) If the day began in the evening, why would we not see NEW mercies when evening comes? Why would NEW mercies wait to come until morning? “Great is Thy Faithfulness”, is a song that includes a verse from Lamentations, “morning by morning, new mercies I see”. Does this remind you of a scriptural song? It did me. We remembered back to when we were children, before we were ever indoctrinated that the day began at midnight, and before we were introduced to the rabbis, when did we believe the day began, just from observing the creation around us? We decided that as little children, we understood the day to begin in the morning, that when we arise from our slumber, we wake up to a new day, a new day is dawning, new beginnings. So, the issue of when a day begins was put on the table for consideration. We understood we needed to take seriously Yahusha’s warning to beware the yeast of the Pharisees and Herod (Mark 8:15), that we needed to surrender EVERY thought captive that’s been put into our minds, and let scripture renew our minds. We were discovering that Yahusha’s words had come to pass, that truly, just as he said, our following Judaism (which has married Catholicism, bowed down to the Pope, in MANY respects) by doing the Gregorian weekly Sabbath, led us into the ditch! It was time to stop listening to them! Scripture says Judah, those who still reject Yahusha and follow other rabbis, are blind, and we decided it behooves us not to follow ANYTHING they do.

(Isaiah 8:20, 2 Cor 6:14) We had to believe Yahusha when He said of the Jewish religious leaders and their leavened teachings, “If the blind lead the blind, then they both fall into the ditch”. (Deut 30:11-14) We had to believe Yahusha’s words when He said that the Jews are in darkness, and there is NO light in them, because they do not yet have Messiah. YHUH’s commandments are not so high in the heavens that someone has to go up to heaven and bring it back down and explain it all to us, not across the ocean that some rabbi has to come from the land of Israel to explain them to us, but in our hearts and in our minds and on our lips that we may do them. Both the Roman Catholics and the Jewish people are convinced their priests and rabbis have the knowledge and authority to change times and laws set forth in scriptures like Genesis 1:14 and Psalm 104:19. They are as lost as the Romans on this issue of these measurements of time as described in the Torah.
PENTECOST COUNTDOWN HOW TO
Not only have they forgotten which days these appointed times fall on the calendar, Israel has forgotten even how to determine when a year, a month, and day begins. Judah has been without the true appointed times ever since. (John 16:13, Psalm 119:105) We found Lamentations 2:6 and Hosea 2:11 which prophesied that Israel would forget the appointed times of YHUH, including the Sabbaths, even Judah would forget once the Temple and Jerusalem were destroyed and they were sent into exile.

We had to come to the realization that the Jewish people do not really have a Hebraic understanding of the Bible, we had been brainwashed by Messianic Judaism and the Hebraic “follow the rabbi movement” into believing that we needed the Jewish rabbis to understand the bible, that the ruach hakodesh and His word was not enough to lead us into ALL truth, and on the right path. There were some stumbling blocks we had to get over before we could accept the lunar Sabbath. We also realized that, not just the months and years had been divorced from the moon, but the days of the week also.

It was based on calculation only, and it did not include observation of the moon. When we were faced with the lunar Sabbath, we realized that the whole “Hebrew” “Lunar” calendar we had been taught was a lie. We accepted that at the time, as we were 100% certain since we were children that a day did not begin at midnight like we learned in kindergarten when they started teaching us the Roman clock on the wall.

He said that because Genesis 1 lists evening before morning, that means evening comes first. My husband and I were taught by a Messianic Jewish rabbi that first introduced us to a lunar calendar, that the Jewish people understand the day to begin in the evening, that this is based in Genesis.
