Three Months in a Row –
Forty Years Later

Part 4

In this final portion of the “Three Months in a Row” narrative, we discover a full forty years after the manna had first been provided from above, it ceased. In His providence, our loving Eternal Father, YAHUAH Alahim (#3068 – יהוה – YHUH), had tenderly cared for and nourished Yasharal (Israel) with solid food through the miracle of the manna on His preordained time-centric restoration schedule during their long wilderness wondering.

The manna feeding schedule was designed as a divine REHAB program for His chosen people. It was designed to teach this rag-tag offspring of Abraham the unbroken connection between His sacred lunar appointed calendar and its intrinsic relation to the Bridal Covenant, His remedy for sin, the Plan of Salvation. Without restoring the Creator’s Calendar, Yasharal (Israel) would not have been prepared to enter the Promised Land. The same holds true today. Only by restoring the Creator’s lunar Calendar to its rightful place within the Bridal covenant will the bride be ready, fully synchronized to the schedule of the Bridegroom, so she may meet Him at the door when He returns for her.

Purpose of the Manna

Through the manna feeding schedule, YHUH (Yahuah) Alahim systematically restored His chosen people to His preordained and appointed astro-luni-solar time principles. He accomplished this through the correct use of His TRINITY OF LIGHTS, which rule along the east-west time continuum. The significance of this TIME-KEEPING RESTORATION was to synchronize His faithful followers to His sacred and set-apart worship calendar for all time to come. Only one time-measuring calendar model was ordained by YHUH Alahim, the MOST HIGH, to synchronize His faithful and obedient to Salvation’s prophetic blueprint. Through this time-centric calendar system alone, the prophetic provision of the long-promised Messiah was to enter twice upon earth’s stage and be recognized at specific lunar appointed times.

The prophetic ceremonial system of the earthly Temple/Sanctuary pointed to and identified the true Messiah by synchronizing time to the Feast Day events. Through this teaching tool, along with the manna schedule, Yahuah Alahim presented before the people the WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY, and HOW humanity’s sins may be forgiven and their eternal destiny ratified. Yet, it was only to be by way of the promised Messiah’s fulfillment of an accurate prophetic Feast Day TIME and EVENT in laying down his life as our PASSOVER LAMB on the 14th of Abib that true ATONEMENT is actualized. Thus, the full plan of salvation, the mechanism to restore humankind back to the Eternal Father, was given the time signature on the full New Moon Days, lunar seventh-day Sabbaths, and seven annual lunar Feast Days. Only one calendar model could synchronize YAHUAH Alahim with Yasharal (Israel) and identify the true Messiah and His obedient followers throughout all generations.

Nearly lost and forgotten during the long years of bondage in Egypt was our Creator’s full moon as His original New Moon. It was appointed to initiate the start of years, months, count of weeks, and days of the lunar months. Each lunar month of 29-30 days continues to be demarcated by its own unique and consistent lunar phase. He identified that His sacred seventh-day Sabbath was also counted from one New Moon to the next (Isaiah 66:23; Ezekiel 46:1-3; Leviticus 23:1-37), which naturally places them upon or near the four-quarter lunar phases of each month.

He illustrated with the manna that each 24-hour civil calendar date commences with sunrise and terminates the following sunrise. Although it is wildly popular today that the night precedes the day, from midnight to midnight or sunset to sunset, the forty years of manna provide strong evidence to the contrary. All the while, the sacred portion of the Sabbath is determined by the visible ruling sun from sunrise to sunset only. This is supported by what our Messiah declared 1,500 years later, concerning there being 12 hours in a day (John 11:9), which supports the Genesis 1:16 narrative that the visible sun rules the daylight alone. In other words, the DAY is ruled by the visible sun, which is only measured on a sundial on the east-west perpetual time continuum when it is present, from sunrise to sunset.

Highlighting Lunar Months and Weeks

All this brings into sharper focus principles of time-measuring that have been relegated to history’s trash bin. This recovery process restores our Creator’s four sacred and ordained seventh-day Sabbaths each lunar month, which are discovered to be consistently counted from the full moon and commence the following sunrise. This is greatly contrasted by the Rabbinical Pharisees (Jews), who adopted the ancient Babylonian time-measuring model under Roman occupation and duress in A.D. 358. Since that date, they have falsely promoted the dark conjunction (or crescent New Moon), a week that cycles without end, irrespective of the moon, and the day commencing at sunset. As a result, both their New Moon and the start of the day at sunset are 180 degrees opposite of our Creator’s original and begin with darkness instead of the full LIGHT. Comparing these to Genesis 1:14, it states, “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 [mo’edim #4150 – appointed fixed times of assembly], and for days, and years.” Lights were appointed for all divisions of time.

Entering the Promised Land

Moses had died, and Yasharal (Israel) was now under the new leadership of Yahusha (#3091 – יהושׁע – Joshua), a symbol of the Messiah in both name and in delivering Yasharal into the promised land. As the Red Sea had parted for Yasharal to cross during their Exodus from Egypt, the Father also parted the Jordan River forty years later in the second week of spring as Israel entered the Promised Land. This was the culmination of the glorious prophecy, fulfilling YHUH’s promise to Abraham. Still, for Yasharal (Israel), it was the end of wilderness wondering after so long a time. They would now build homes, villages, and cities and dwell in shalom (peace), at least for a time. Now, for the first time in years, they could experience a variety of foods, plant crops, and eat the fruits of their labor.

Manna Commencement and Termination

When Yahuah Alahim, the Most High, had first begun restoring His timekeeping system, it was on the first day of the first month of the first year in which He led the children of Yasharal (Israel) out of Egypt. Commencing on the 16th day of the Second Month, He had sent manna from the shamayim for the first time. Forty years later, to the very day, on the 16th of the First Lunar Month of Abib, the manna forever ceased.

After entering the Promised Land, Joshua recorded the following details:

So the children of Israel camped in Gilgal and kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight on the plains of Jericho. And they ate of the produce of the land on the day after the Passover, unleavened bread and parched grain, on the very same day [lunar Sabbath the 15th]. Then the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten the produce of the land [16th day, first day of the third lunar week]; and the children of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate the food of the land of Canaan that year. Yahusha (Joshua) 5:10-12 NKJV

Yahusha (Joshua) wrote the Book of Joshua, which remains in complete harmony with the calendation principles recorded by Moses. Although the leadership changed, Yahuah’s calendation policies did not.

A divine spotlight highlights three consecutive days to verify the continuity of time-keeping under Joshua’s leadership. This was PASSOVER, Abib 14 as the sixth day of the second-week cycle as counted from the full New Moon; Abib 15 as the consistent lunar seventh-day Sabbath for all forty years; and Abib 16 was the consistent first day of the third lunar week of every lunar year for forty years.

This accumulation of Scriptural and historical calendar evidence reveals that our Creator’s astro-luni-solar calendar has NEVER ended and remains viable to this day. It alone identifies all prophetic events of utmost importance to YAHUAH Alahim’s obedient followers yet to be fulfilled. His faithful seek to align their soul temples with His prophetic time & event model as a sign of humility, honor, and reverence for all He has done and continues to do in restoring them back to the Father.

The Feast of Passover was kept in the same way it had always been kept under the leadership of Moses. It was consistently placed on the 14th of the First Lunar Month of Abib as counted from the full New Moon Day. It and all days commenced at sunrise and terminated at sunset for a twelve-hour day (John 11:9), as exhibited on a sundial. This defines the night as the period of darkness that follows the daylight in a 24-hour cycle of a civil calendar date. Although a time of intermission, it was the extension of a complete 24-hour calendar date. Thus, the true lunar seventh-day Sabbath began as it had for 40 years, at sunrise on the morning of the 15th. The new week then started the next day at sunrise on the 16th, as counted from the full New Moon Day.

Forty Years Later – Part 4 establishes the following 16 facts:

Manna was providentially bestowed each morning for five days, with a double portion on the sixth day of the week to provide for the meals on the sixth day and seventh day Sabbath. None was ever provided on the seventh-day Sabbath.

The manna was to illustrate full complete weeks, differentiating
between work days and sacred Sabbaths.

YAHUAH Alahim would have defeated His own purposes of illustrating His complete week model if He were to cease giving the manna in the middle of the week.

The 14th of the First Month of Abib was the sixth day of the second week, and the last day of the week that manna was given with its double portion collected to be eaten for the last two days.

The 15th was the seventh-day Sabbath, and the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, making it a high Feast Sabbath.

The only way Yasharal (Israel) would have had unleavened bread to eat on the 15th is because they would have received the double portion of manna on the 14th.

The manna collected on the first five days never lasted until the next sunrise but went bad by the following sunrise. This illustrated that the new day began at sunrise. Only the double portion of manna collected on the sixth-day lasted for 48 hours.

On that last Sabbath Yasharal’s (Israel’s) diet consisted of unleavened bread made from manna and the parched grain from the fields in the Promised Land.

On the first day of each week for the entire forty years, Yasharal (Israel) could expect that manna would commence again after skipping the morning of the sacred seventh-day Sabbath. However, on this morning of the 16th after entering the Promised Land there was for the first time, no manna provided.

It is clearly stated that “the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten the produce of the land.”

The Yasharalites (Israelites) ate the produce of the land on the 15th, a seventh-day Sabbath, along with their unleavened bread that was prepared on the 14th.

On the 15th no manna had been provided on the ground because as all seventh-day Sabbaths before it the manna for that day had been collected in a double portion on the sixth-day, the preparation day.

By Divine design there was only one day when the manna could officially cease forever. It could not cease on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th day of the week because the manna’s purpose was to illustrate complete weeks. It could not cease on the 6th day because there would be no unleavened bread for the Sabbath Feast Day, the last day of a complete week. It couldn’t cease on the Sabbath, because it was never given on the Sabbath. The only day the manna could cease was the first day of the week that followed the Sabbath of the 15th which was the same day of the same month it had first been provided forty years earlier.

Strikingly, the manna ceased on the morning of the 16th when it had ordinarily been expected to commence for the week. This illustrates that the 16th of the lunar month was consistently the first day of the lunar week for the full forty years as ordained by our Creator.

If the 16th of the lunar month was the first day of the lunar week all these forty years later, then the 15th, as counted from the New Moon, is consistently the authentic and original lunar seventh-day Sabbath, each year, and every month since that time, and indeed since creation.

For the entire forty years, the first three months of the year were modulated in the exact same manner. And although, the New Moon Day is not overtly mentioned in the manna narrative, its position as the first day followed by four weeks is provided. It is because each Sabbath occurred on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th days consistently for forty years that it identifies the Years, Months, Weeks, and Days of ancient Yasharal were all based upon the the count from the New Moon Day. Leviticus 23:5 speaking of Passover, identifies it as the 14th day of the “month.” The Hebrew word for “month” is (H#2320 – chodesh – new moon, first day of the lunar month) a reference to the count from the New Moon Day from which all the Feast Days are counted.

This last point is the foundation stone for all YHUH’s time-measuring for the duration of the forty years unto eternity. It is a reference to His calendar restoration and the very first test given to the children of Yasharal (Israel) fourteen days prior to Passover. It is this calendar layout that commences with the full New Moon upon which Passover is counted, along with the forty years of manna, the full New Moon Day, the four lunar Sabbaths each month, and all the lunar appointed prophetic Feast Dates, as exhibited in the Wilderness Sanctuary (Tabernacle).
“And declared YAHUAH (H#3068 – YHUH) unto Moses and unto Aaron, in the land of Egypt, commanding that: “The NEW MOON (H#2320 – Chodesh), this self-same one, is HEAD (H#7218 – Rosh) of the LUNAR MONTHS (H#2320 – Chodesh); it is FIRST in PLACE for the LUNAR MONTHS (H#2320 – Chodesh), the revolution measure of the YEAR (H#8141 – HASHANAH). You shall keep and teach this to all the congregation of Israel saying, “in the tenth of the LUNAR MONTH (H#2320 – Chodesh), do the following: And you shall reserve and keep every man a lamb for each household of the father, a lamb for each house…” Exodus 12:1-3

If the children of Yasharal (Israel) had not passed this test of reorienting and restoring the first day of their Year and Month according to YAHUAH’s direction, they would have not celebrated Passover on the correct day, the 14th counted from the full New Moon. They would have lost their first born sons along with the Egyptians who followed the dark lunar phase as their New Moon, and would never have been freed from Egyptian captivity.

When manna was first given for Yasharal (Israel) following the Exodus, Yahuah utilized it to illustrate His weeks and Sabbaths in the Second Month. This verse in Yahusha (Joshua) 5:10-12 now uses the manna to define the same dates as the First Lunar Month of Abib, at the end of the forty years of wandering. Here, Yahuah highlights, using His final manna illustration, that during this First Lunar Month (Abib), the Sabbath is also located on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th, just as it was in the Second Month after leaving Egypt.

Forty years after the Exodus, Yahusha (Joshua) punctuates that the 14th of the First Month (Abib) remains the Feast of Passover, and the 6th day of the week continued the miracle of the double portion of manna. In this way, He establishes that the 15th of the First Month (Abib) is consistently the Feast of Unleavened Bread and the seventh-day Sabbath for the entire duration of forty years and even into the Promised Land. Scripture records that no manna fell on the 16th of the First Month (Abib) for the first time in forty years. On this first day of the week, it ceased forever, ending on the same day it had marvelously begun forty years previously.

Conclusion

The entire forty years were modulated according to the same lunar rhythm, not just for three months in a row. Because each recorded Sabbath occurred on the 15th or the 22nd of each month, it automatically provides the facts that the Sabbath was also located consistently on the 8th and the 29th of those same months. This provides the greatest evidence that the months were lunar and that the first day of each month was always the New Moon Day. Although the New Moon Day is never overtly mentioned in this narrative, its covert absence is more telling as the details of the Manna define it, the giving of the quail by night, and the consistent lineup of Sabbath dates for Three Months in a Row and even for Forty Years. Together, the four weeks of seven days, with each of their Sabbaths occurring on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th days, identify that the Years, Months, Weeks, and Days of ancient Yasharal were all based upon the unique demarcating influence counted from the New Moon Day.

As a result, we can confidently say that this is the same TIME signature that the ETERNAL Yahuah Alahim spoke into existence in “IN THE BEGINNING.” This self-same time-measuring model prophetically appointed with precision the exact time the long PROMISED LAMB was to come to earth as a baby. Our Messiah’s True Prophetic Birthday.

Thirty years later, Yahusha, haMashiach (the anointed Messiah) gave His life on PASSOVER, the 14th, for the purpose of taking away the sins of the world. For in Him alone, the prophetic criteria of the time-centric Feast Days were ordained to be met, fulfilling the requirements of Passover in every particular. This unique time-measuring model greatly differentiates the legitimate lunar-based Messiah from the illegitimate solar calendar wannabees. The Sun was Darkened from the Sixth to the Ninth Hour.

Today, the call has gone forth to the entire world to restore the Eternal Father’s celestial timepiece as demonstrated in the Creator’s correctly appointed trinity of lights. Most will not respond. However, His loving and obedient followers will be as one awakened from sleep as He prepares to deliver them from the bondage of Babylon, Rome, and their false calendar systems and prepare them as a remnant for the final Promised Land. Just like the Hebrews of old, the final generation will, in haste, have many truths to learn and many false teachings to unlearn.

For the Eternal Father’s TORAH Law, the Bridal Covenant has no purpose or fulfillment when separated from Passover and its all-encompassing provision as provided by YAHUSHA haMashiach (the Messiah). The Torah, with its Laws, Statutes of the fixed time, and Judgments, is only binding as it was ratified by the Messiah’s sacrifice precisely on Passover, the 14th, as counted from the first full New Moon of the year in spring. This Feast Day symbol identifies Yahusha haMashiach as the one and only Messiah and Lamb. It defines the single mechanism and pathway whereby humanity may be restored to the Eternal Father.

“But when the fullness of the time was come, Alahim sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the TORAH LAW, to redeem them that were under the TORAH LAW, that we might receive the adoption of sons.” Galatians 4:4-5

If you honor and substitute any other style of YEAR, MONTH, WEEK, DAY, or DATE in its place, or any other Messiah by a different name, such as Jesus Christ, you are not yet fully separated from Babylon, and Rome’s pagan confusion. Satan holds claim to all replacement theology under the banner of Babylon, Egypt, and Rome, his seat of authority.

In contrast to receiving the Mark of the Beast on your hand or forehead, YAHUAH Alahim has prepared the antidote. Consequently, and by extension, if Passover, the 14th of the astro-luni-solar month of Abib in the spring, is not found as the “sign to you on your hand and as a memorial between your eyes,” then neither will the “TORAH [and Bridal Covenant] BE FOUND IN YOUR MOUTH (Exodus 13:9-10).” Today is the day to choose to walk in the newness of life and worship the Eternal Father, Yahuah Alahim, and His Son, Yahusha haMashiach, according to the rhythm of their unique calendar model. Note that Passover, the 14th day counted from the Full New Moon, is YAHUAH’s sign to be placed on the hand or forehead of His faithful and obedient who keep His Bridal Covenant that includes the correct calendar alignment for worship and lunar appointed Feast dates.

In His providence, our loving Eternal Father, YAHUAH Alahim, has tenderly cared for and nourished not only ancient Yasharal (Israel) but YOU and ME, with an accurate record of His sacred worship calendar. He has done so that we may have no excuse to recognize His Son, the promised Messiah, at His first and second coming, designed to fulfill the time-centric Temple prophecies of the true LAMB, PRIEST, and KING, on His unique time-measuring model.

True Yasharal (Israel) had to undergo a full rehab and restoration, accepting and keeping sacred His set-apart TIME-MEASURING CALENDAR MODEL, a process that took forty years. No less will be the experience of all His end-time faithful, who have lived up to the light they knew until now. They will endure the pain of coming out of the false religions, churches, and synagogues and discover how far they have been from the truth. through the changes that come with His rehab and restoration, they will seek to align their soul temples to both TRUTH and the correct SYNCHRONIZED TIME MODEL. All of mankind will face this valley of decision where the foundation of trust will be laid for entering His Kingdom and the Eternal Promised Land as prepared from the beginning.

Yahusha (Joshua) and ancient Yasharal (Israel) were not permitted to enter into the PROMISED LAND until they removed themselves from the Egyptian pagan religion, which included their counterfeit calendar based upon the dark conjunction lunar phase, paying tribute to the great deceiver and pagan gods.

If Israel (Yasharal) had refused to obey Yahuah Alahim’s detailed and time-centric instructions regarding which lunar phase was the New Moon and start of Rosh Hashanah (New Year’s Day), they would NOT have celebrated Passover at the correct time on the authentic 14th day of the lunar month and year. Nor would they have preserved their firstborn sons or ever left Egypt. But they did, and this same calendar became the test again in the second and third month in a row, with the unique manna feeding schedule and arriving at Mt. Sinai. But it didn’t end there. This same foundational calendar model that begins with the full moon as the start of the lunar months was at the center of all the Wilderness Sanctuary ceremonies, its New Moon Days, lunar Sabbaths, and each specific lunar appointed Feast Date.

Some well-intended folks may believe they can refute the manna portion of this narrative for lunar years, months, and weeks. Yet, it was exactly two lunar months prior to arriving at the Mountain that Yahuah Alahim restored Rosh Hashanah (New Year’s Day in spring) along with lunar months and the count of lunar days to arrive at Passover the 14th day. As a result, all units of time are counted down from Rosh Hashanah to start each new year and each successive full New Moon. This is a nail in a sure place that laid the foundation of lunar time for all the following lunar months and years, including entering the Promised Land then and in the near future.

In The Exodus—Part 1, we discovered that the lunar calendar model was the first foundational truth restored to the Hebrews before leaving Egypt forty years earlier? It began with the full moon for the start of years and lunar months. The vital element often overlooked in the Exodus, the Manna, the Mountain, and the forty years later is that TIME itself was not only the first testing truth for Israel before celebrating Passover and leaving Egypt 3,500 years ago, but it was to continue into eternity. This means that for those of us not yet onboard, giving up the popular calendar year, month, and weekly rhythm will soon present itself as our test as well. Only those who adhered to the words of YHUH (Yahuah) Alahim and counted to Passover fourteen days from the full New Moon Day preserved their firstborn males and left Egypt. Conversely, all of Egypt and those in rebellion to YHUH lost their firstborn sons and remained in Egypt or lost their lives in the Red Sea.

We must be restored to the correct use of His divinely ordained trinity of lights, the sun, moon, and stars, as they work hand in hand. Along with the entire Bridal Covenant, the correct TIME-KEEPING MODEL is His chosen vetting system for His end-time Yasharal (Israel). Upon entering into the PROMISED LAND, His glorious Eternal Kingdom government, these alone will receive a white stone and a new name. HalleluYAH!!!

At long last, following the Second Coming, all will be in harmony for praise and worship in the ETERNAL Kingdom on His signature sacred days: Full New Moons, lunar Sabbaths, and annual lunar Feast Days, from one New Moon to another.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Ruach (power, presence, and promise of YAHUAH) says to the ~~churches~~ ecclesia (called out ones). To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. Revelation 2:17

And the Ruach and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely. Revelation 22:17

From one New Moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says Yahuah. Isaiah 66:23

Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am Yahuah who sanctifies you. Exodus 31:13-14

May Yahuah guide you as you seek the FATHER OF LIGHTS (James 1:17).
