ust as it is important when discussing religious matters to define the foundation upon which both parties will agree to base their dialog, it is imperative to establish which calendation method supersedes the other and is foundational in all of Scripture. From Genesis 1:14 we know that the Creator placed the sun, moon and stars in position to define time, for signs, seasons, days and years. We know that there is no other calendation system promoted in Scripture other than the Sanctuary's lunisolar system. History also bears out that calends, the man-made form of a month, is not a month at all because it does not follow the month's divinely appointed lunar phases. Rather, calends divide 365 days into twelve calends of varying length to make a complete solar year, all the while utilizing a system of unbroken succession of weeks cycling without end since Creation. These two types of calendation are at odds with one another and never in harmony.
There is no other graphic that so perfectly illustrates the inherent conflict between lunisolar calendation and Roman Gregorian calendation, with its floating unbroken cycles of weeks than this lunisolar calendar depicting the lunar phases for A.D. 31.
Horizontally, the lunar phases define the length of each month of the crucifixion year, A.D. 31. In addition notice the layout of the weeks and their appointed lunisolar seventh-day Sabbaths. Notice then how the holy appointed spring and fall Feasts are perfectly laid out commencing on the seventh-day Sabbath and followed by a seventh-day Sabbath, a point often missed in the Leviticus rendering.
The black boxes and all the black type represent the Roman Julian/Gregorian calendation. Specifically the black boxes are the beginning of each Julian/Gregorian month. Notice how the black boxes don't stay in harmony with the lunar phases at all, but float through the lunisolar calendar. The black type within those boxes and otherwise filling the page represent the Julian/Gregorian calendar unbroken cycle of week days, as well as calendar dates. Notice how these weeks visibly float through the lunisolar weeks as defined by the lunar phases.
