The Fourth Day of Creation
The Fourth Day of Creation
The Introduction of Earth’s Sun, Moon, and Stars
Have you ever wondered what really happened with regard to the development of TIME on Earth between the first and the fourth day of creation, the cycles of each day before the existence, alignment, and setting in motion of the sun, moon, and stars? If not, you are invited to consider the following narrative as the missing link, always present but overwritten and unaccounted for.
It is my desire that this article will get to the bottom of this issue that is presented in Genesis chapter 1. To assist with this endeavor and for a broader perspective, additional books of Scripture have been utilized to pinpoint, as a GPS unit, vital elements of TIME beyond what is revealed in Genesis alone. By so doing, the missing pieces of the puzzle are discovered, and the marvelous picture that was otherwise obscured is revealed. Together, they declare as a harmonious symphony that TIME’S TRUTHS have long existed in ETERNITY PAST, from which earth’s TIME MEASURING MODEL was lovingly synchronized. All this was the awe-inspiring work of our compassionate Eternal Father, Yahuah Alahim, and His only begotten Son, Yahusha HaMashiach (the Messiah).
Before we get into the meat of this article, please consider the following short video: Why was the Moon Created on the 4th Day?
Why Does Mankind Insist that Earth’s Creation Was the Commencement of Time?
It is easy for each of us to believe that the subject of TIME was all worked out by those who have come before us, such as the Roman church fathers, modern Rabbinical Pharisees, protestant denominational reformers, scholars, and modern prophets, causing there to be nothing new to discover. Yet, together, history and Scripture reveal that the Romans and Rabbinical Pharisee Jews were instrumental in altering all their units of time in opposition to the standard of Scripture. “And he shall . . . think to change times and laws.” Daniel 7:25.
Daniel 12:4 also tells us that at the “end of time, men shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” While some may believe this is referring to mass transit world travel and general high-tech advances, I believe the real focus is on the development and expansion of computer tools that aid in Scripture study that, in turn, increase humankind’s knowledge of the YAHUAH Alahim’s END TIME REVELATION OF TRUTH.
Today, we can gather and study a topic in moments that fifty or one hundred years ago would have taken days, years, or even lifetimes. So it seems that the greatest truth and revealed knowledge may come as a kind of vetting test at the end of time to distinguish the wheat from the tares, the sheep from the goats. Truth has never yet been fully restored, nor time worked out until that soon-coming reality when the Ruach ha Kadosh (power, presence, promise, and provision of Yahuah) declares it with His still, small voice. Only those “who have eyes to see and ears to hear” who take up the banner of truth with action will be rewarded.
So, to answer the question, it appears that mankind has characteristically been myopic and self-focused. We forget that the Eternal Father has existed from eternity past unto the present and will exist in the Eternal future. We tend to lack the conceptual tools to realize that Earth and its time rhythms were created to fit perfectly into His ever-existing time-measuring format and not the other way around. In other words, Earth’s time-measuring system was created to copy that of YAHUAH Alahim’s preexisting harmonious universe. As a result, wouldn’t it naturally be a layout that gives the Creator six days for work, along with a day of rest? Even then, there is still more to the east-west time-measuring continuum than most have considered, such as the necessity of the New Moon.
As a result of these new concepts, we know that elements of truth still need to be discovered and revealed. So, this article will aim to bring together Scripture’s revealed principles relating to the fourth day of creation to restore yet another stone in the original Creator’s Calendar and His dynamic layout of the first week of Earth.

In the Beginning: Genesis 1 and the Sabbath, is there a relation to the New Moon?
The following statement is from the Biblical Research Institute of the Seventh-day Adventist Church – specifically its chief officer at the time, Angel Rodriguez:
“The origin of earth’s Scriptural Sabbath definitely finds its birth in the creation week. It was instituted by God three days following the creation of the trinity of LIGHTS (sun, moon, and stars) according to (Gen. 1:14; 2:2), and not the seventh day after the first day of the month. It was to function independent of the month on a specific sequence of days unconnected from the moon and the sun, but uniquely grounded in God’s power to rule over time. The seventhness of the Sabbath is related to the passing of time, from the beginning of God’s creating activity on planet earth to its close. This is indeed a unique divine act, a fragmentation of time in a sequence of seven days exclusively fixed and governed by God Himself.” Angel Rodriguez, Biblical Research Institute of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, circa 2008.
Kerrie French’s Rebuttal and Response
Contrary to this statement above by Angel Rodriguez, no place can be found in all of Scripture that highlights the week as having a unique time sequence all its own, entirely divorced from the sun, moon, or stars, and specifically from the lunar phases. The simple fact that because the Sabbath is identified in Genesis 1:14 as a SIGN predetermines that it was designed and ordained to be signaled by the LIGHTS He placed in the shamayim (heavens), His trinity of sun, moon, and stars. To deny this is to contradict the foundational evidence specifically declared for all time-measuring by our Creator.
It is still more surprising that one so well-educated as Angel Rodriguez could stoop so low as to declare the seventh day of the week, as defined in Genesis, as designed to function with no ties to the BEGINNING OF THE MONTH, or for that matter to the BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, Rosh HaShanah. But it illustrates the depth and holds that deep-rooted traditions have over theologians. To remain in good standing with the church, they must uphold the party line at all cost or forfeit their position of power and influence, keeping them and their followers entrenched in false paradigms. Yet, Yahuah Alahim told Moses and Aaron specifically to count to the 14th day from the New Moon (the first New Moon of the Year) for the placement of Passover on the 14th day. (Exodus 12:1-3).
“The NEW MOON, ‘this one’ is the beginning (Rosh) of the LUNAR MONTHS. It is FIRST IN ORDER according to the LUNAR MONTHS for the revolution of a year (HaShanah). You shall keep and teach this to all the congregation of Israel saying, “in the tenth of the LUNAR MONTH, do the following: And you shall reserve and keep every man a lamb for each household of the father, a lamb for each house. . . And you shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same LUNAR MONTH. . .” (Click on this link to view the Hebrew word study on this verse in Exodus 12:1-3)
By extension, and in EVERY case recorded in Scripture, the day following Passover, the 14th, is the seventh-day Sabbath and the 15th date of the lunar month. This was the case, as illustrated in the verse above, for the first Passover, as well as the entire 40 years of wilderness wandering. But of vital importance, the Sabbath was also the 15th following the crucifixion of our Messiah, who fulfilled prophecy by laying down His life on Passover the 14th and rested in the Tomb over the Sabbath. Passover was always the 14th day counted from the New Moon and the 6th day of the lunar week, followed by the seventh-day Sabbath.
All Scripture Dates Associated with the Seventh-day Sabbath
Stunningly, in every place in Scripture that a date can be associated with the seventh-day Sabbath, it consistently falls upon the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of a lunar month. In other words, every seventh-day Sabbath identified in Scripture is consistently counted from the same New Moon.
Also, the fact that Isaiah 66:22-23, Ezekiel 46:1-3, and Leviticus 23 exist is evidence that even Yahuah Alahim utilized the New Moon “IN THE BEGINNING” of time on earth. Beginning each Year and Month with the New Moon is a much more impressive and synchronized example of the start of all things than simply assuming that the day before the first day of creation was the seventh day of the previous week’s cycle, fully divorced from the very LIGHTS He was creating for SIGNS and SIGNALS of TIME.
Verified below are twelve Scriptural Events that identify the seventh-day Sabbaths, which are always located on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of the lunar month. No Scripture references can be found that define the Sabbaths to be located on any other dates than these. Refer to the article, Sabbath’s Consistent Lunar Monthly Dates.
- Three months in a row depicts that each month began with the New Moon, placing all the Sabbaths on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of the lunar month. Exodus 12, 16, 19. Refer to article, “Three Months in a Row, The Exodus, The Manna, and the Mountain.”
- Spring and Fall Feast days are placed according the count from the New Moon and their nearness to the seventh-day Sabbath. Leviticus 23:5-6, 34-35; Numbers 29:12-39.
- Two annual Feast days and their respective high Sabbath Challenge. Refer to article, Passover to Tabernacles Calendar Challenge. Leviticus 23:5-6, 34, 35; Numbers 29:12-39.
- Dedication of priesthood of Aaron and his sons. Exodus 40:2, 17; Leviticus 8, 9.
- The time of Solomon. 2 Chronicles 7:8-10.
- The time of Esther. Esther 9:18.
- King Hezekiah’s reform. Refer to article, Ten Degrees To and Fro on the Sundial. 2 Chronicles 29:17.
- Three kinds of days that never overlap. Refer to article, Worship at the East Gate. Ezekiel 46:1.
- The 24 prophetic Kohen (Priestly) courses. 1 Chronicles 9:25 and 2 Chronicles 23:8
- Birth of the Messiah – Refer to article, Our Messiah’s True Prophetic Birthday Luke 1-2
- Healing the blind man on the Sabbath, the 22nd of the Seventh Month. John 8:2, John 9:6 compared to Leviticus 23:35-36.
- Time of the Crucifixion. Refer to article, From the Sixth to the Ninth Hour. Mark 15:42; John 19:31; Leviticus 23:6-7, 11, 15; John 19:42.
- Time of the Resurrection “Sign of Jonah.” Refer to article, Three Days and Three Nights. Matthew 20:1; Matthew 28:1; Mark 16:1-2; Luke 24:1; John 20:1.
At the end of the day, powerful men in high places of religious organizations will try to keep their followers locked into their blind paradigms for the sake of unity, as it keeps funds flowing into church coffers. So, it seems that TRUTH has taken a back seat to peaceful conformity and a strong business model. Both systems are opposed to the tenets of our soon-returning Messiah.
Time Before Alterations Began
The following two verses identify that our Creator shared “His Sabbath” of eternity, past, present, and future with humankind.
“The seventh day is the Sabbath of Yahuah your Alahim/Elohim.” Exodus 20:10
“Moreover, also I gave them my sabbaths to be a sign between me and them that they might know that I am Yahuah that sanctifies them.” Ezekiel 20:12
He did this so that earthlings may be in sync with the worship rhythms that had pre-existed Earth’s creation. As a result, mankind was included with the angels and any possible unfallen worlds as they assembled on His pre-appointed New Moon Days and Sabbath Days for worship. But in addition to Yahuah sharing His Sabbaths with humanity, He also imputed to earth the rhythm of His— lunar months and astro-luni-solar years via heaven’s own New Moon rhythm of time.
So it is that TIME on earth was synchronized with Yahuah Alahim’s very throne room during the first week of its existence. This is a foundation stone most often misunderstood. This fact that the 7th day of earth’s history was sequenced harmoniously to the very throne room of our Creator provides accurate accounting for all the other days. For example, this is illustrated with the first three numbered days that were identified with the boundary markers in Genesis 1, which detail “the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd day” with the phrase “and evening and morning,” before the sun, moon, and stars were created or time set.
The sun, moon, and stars were designed for LIGHTS, TIME, and HEAT, but they also are the very signature of our Creator and declare His MAJESTY. Each day of earth’s creation fell upon a workday of the Eternal Father, a unique cycle of time that has always existed in eternity past. These first six workdays were sandwiched between His two sacred and set-apart days. While many assume that these were both seventh-day Sabbaths, it is impossible for the very reason that the ancient Hebrew YEAR, MONTH, WEEK, and calendar DATES of each lunar month were all tied to and counted from the NEW MOON DAYS. So when Genesis 1:1 begins with those famous words, “IN THE BEGINNING” (בראשׁית), we can pinpoint exactly where this was in the YEAR, LUNAR MONTH, LUNAR WEEK, along with the stunning lunar phase demarcation of DAYS.
This is no different than finding the beginning of time on a clock, where both hands point straight up at 12:00. Similarly, the first day of the ancient Hebrew Year was also the first day of the lunar month. The four lunar weeks began the next day. This is precisely how our Creator did it. But because New Year’s Day was also the New Moon Day, our Creator set it apart as a REST DAY for receiving corporate worship from all His created beings. You may have never considered that there is more than just one set of sacred days each lunar month. See Amos 8:5, along with the article, When Will the New Moon and Sabbath be Past. This necessitated that He began His work of Earth’s creation on the following day, the first day of HIS work week when the New Moon Day passed. This first day of the workweek was also the second day of the 29-30 day lunar month. Here is a calendar illustration to see how our Creator designed it to work.
As a result, there are never more than six days in a row in which the Eternal Father is free to create Earth or any other world. This is self-evident in Genesis 1 and in perfect harmony with Exodus 20:10.
It is easy to see why folks automatically assume that the first week of creation was sandwiched between two seventh-day Sabbaths, as “ALL THE WORLD” has been indoctrinated to believe that the modern Roman continuous weekly cycle has always existed and was in harmony with Scripture. But, this traditional view falls apart in the view of Leviticus 23, Ezekiel 46:1-3 and Isaiah 66:22-23, which identify that the New Moon Day is a Scriptural reality and SACRED DAY. It is also the preordained starting point that must be included in the hypothesis of counting TIME from creation to the crucifixion and onward to modern times. And by so doing, it is discovered that the New Moon Day is a third kind of day that, for the mere fact of its existence, breaks the cycle of weeks each lunar month.
Earth’s Umbilical Cord
It is a great error to dismiss the direct phraseology of the creation account of the fourth day upon which it is specified that the sun, moon, and stars were created. But it seems this directive is being ignored because well-meaning folks seek to find a resolution to the comments from the traditional views of the opposition, who only recognize solar time-measuring. The only answer that can both resolve what happened and meet the opposition concerning the lunar week and the criteria stipulated in Genesis 1:14-19 is to realize that those first three days of the creation week were hung as from an umbilical cord to the ETERNAL TIME of YAHUAH Alahim, the very THRONE ROOM of the MOST HIGH.
Earth’s sun, moon, and stars were not necessary for YAHUAH ALAHIM, His SON, the divine Messengers, or other worlds to know when to assemble for worship on the sacred seventh-day Sabbath. But how can this be?
It is because their systems were already in full operation and all in 100% UNITY. The very fact that EARTH’S SUN, MOON, and STARS were NOT created until the FOURTH DAY is the GREATEST TESTIMONY for not only EARTHLINGS (you and me) but also for the other CREATED WORLDS AND BEINGS TO KNOW THAT WE WERE ALSO CREATED TO BE IN PERFECT HARMONY WITH EACH OF THEM and received the exact same WORSHIP RHYTHM as all the other SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF YAHUAH ALAHIM. This was a GRAND HONOR OF “INCLUSION” that was profoundly illustrated by delaying the creation of Earth’s sun, moon, and stars until the 4th day.
Just like with the birth of a newborn baby, it comes into the world as a separate individual, yet it remains fully attached to its mother until the umbilical cord is cut. In the same way, “IN THE BEGINNING,” EARTH was a unique and new creation during the first three days of the creation process. Yet, it remained FULLY DEPENDENT UPON ITS CREATOR’S ETERNAL PASSAGE OF TIME until that moment on the FOURTH DAY, when the proverbial umbilical cord was cut. This marked the moment of the creation of EARTH’S LIGHTS in the shamayim (heavens). That was the day the sun, moon, and stars were created and made (H6213 – asah – to make, to accomplish, to fashion; prepare, to do, produce, appoint, ordain, institute).
In recognizing this marvelous evidence, we can fully understand that our Creator’s GRAND ACCORD, designed to bring harmony between the Creator and the created, has been broken on earth. This occurred when TIME was changed by degrees by rebellious men and their witty calendar inventions over these last 6,000 years while under the explicit direction of the adversary and enemy of souls, Hillel (SATAN, otherwise referred to as Lucifer).
Boundary Markers for Creation
While our Creator is omnipotent, it is a known fact that there is one thing He cannot do. He cannot lie! However, it has been discovered that there is an additional thing that He cannot do, which is of great significance in establishing the parameters of His preordained calendar rhythms. Our Creator could not create earth’s MOON, “His trustworthy witness in the sky (Psalms 89:37),” on the New Moon day, the day before the first day of creation. This is an impossibility because the New Moon day is a sacred and set-apart worship day unto Yahuah and the entire universe, rendering it a “REST” day and not a workday. Our loving Creator is both consistent and He “changes not.” Creating the moon, sun, stars, or even the earth on the New Moon day would be a sin, as it runs contrary to the Creator’s laws of keeping Kadosh (sacred) in each of His appointed worship assemblies. According to Ezekiel 46:3, on the New Moon Day, as well as the seventh-day Sabbath, our Creator rests and receives worship from all His created beings, who are faithful to obey His single and unique calendar rhythm throughout the universe.
The calendar illustration above demonstrates what occurred during the creation week. On the full New Moon Day (the blue one), the Creator could not have been creating Earth or anything relative to it, as He was both resting and receiving worship from the entire host of messengers (angels) and unfallen creations. Each of the Creator’s six workdays is identified (in green). According to the combined evidence in Scripture, the first day of creation with respect to Earth was the second day of His lunar month and year, the truths of which He was soon to share with Adam and Havah (Eve) in a few short days.
The Fourth Day of the Creation Week
It is hard for humankind to fathom that from the Creator’s perspective, time was ongoing while Earth’s time had only just begun. Yet, consistently, the 8th day of the lunar month on earth (in gold) was the first seventh-day Sabbath of His year and lunar month. It was the eternal continuum of the lunar month and lunar seventh-day Sabbath of Yahuah’s past, present, and future. Here again, He would be resting and receiving worship from all His creation, but now, for the first time, earthlings were to be included in one of the Creator’s corporate days of rest and worship, His preordained SIGN of UNIVERSAL UNITY. Thus, ALL His perfect creations were united according to His celestial TIME-MEASURING rhythm, with each of the sun, moon, and stars set and numbered from their proper syzygy (alignment of three or more spheres, as in the sun, earth, moon, starry constellations) positions relative to the earth.
The syzygy order defines which lunar phase is the real New Moon as outlined in Genesis 1:16: 1) the SUN, 2) the EARTH, 3) the MOON, and the STARS. Only this alignment identifies the lunar phase that rules in opposition to the sun by night (Genesis 1:16). The only lunar phase in opposition to the sun beginning at sunset is the FULL MOON. Then, this FULL MOON is to rule together with a specific starry constellation all night and for the duration of one lunation (one lunar month). When the next full New Moon appears, it distinguishes one lunar month from the next for all 12 or 13. No other arrangement can meet all the Scriptural criteria for YEARS, LUNAR MONTHS, WEEKS, and 29-30 DAYS.
Synchronizing Earth’s Clock/Calendar
The fact that the sun, moon, and stars were created on the fourth day of the creation week was the most important and dramatic “SIGN” of a unique FACT to all humanity. This was that Earth’s “TIME” was not independent of that of YAHUAH Alahim/Elohim’s seat of power. Rather, Earth’s “TIME” was hung from the very portals of His seat of power, His ETERNAL TIME CONTINUUM.
Just as the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil was placed in the garden fully endowed with fruit on the third day, so too, all of creation was created in its complete form with apparent age. Nothing was created as seeds, eggs, or babies. Likewise, on the fourth day, the celestial bodies were created and placed in precise and advanced positions in the shamayim (heavens). Reflected in the moon’s lunar phase and position was the passage of the first three recorded days of creation and also of the New Moon Day that preceded them.
As a result, the start of earth’s first year, lunar month, lunar week, and lunar day were set, as a clock would be, according to YAHUAH’S very seat of power and His full New Moon. Earth was never intended to operate on an independent time-measuring sub-system wholly detached from that of the entire universe or its Creator. This was the missing puzzle piece in the Genesis account of the first week.
Still, many have proclaimed that the New Moon Day occurred upon the fourth day of creation, primarily because they continue to believe and honor the Roman continuous weekly cycle that allows for the New Moon Day to occur on any day of the modern Gregorian solar month. Yet, Yahuah’s time-measuring model places New Moon Day consistently as DAY ONE of His lunar months and the first Sabbath as DAY EIGHT. Yahuah’s New Moon set the count for years, months, weeks, and days upon the earth, yet worked seamlessly together with the sun and stars to accurately signal all smaller units of time. It is only with this additional New Moon Day piece of evidence that Genesis can be harmonized with the remainder of the Scriptures.
The Syzygy alignment above depicts New Year’s Day, the first New Moon of the year.
This illustration above depicts the placement of the moon on the 4th day of Creation, as it would appear showing the passing of the sacred New Moon Day, followed by each of the work days of creation.
This illustration depicts the placement of the moon for the four days after it was created. No creative works were performed on the New Moon Day, but commenced on the first work day. But the New Moon Day still marked the first day of the year and month, which causes the seventh-day Sabbath to also be the 8th day of the lunar month and year.
Earth’s sun, moon, and stars were not created, nor were their time set and placed in their celestial positions until the fourth day. This was to be the EVERLASTING TESTIMONY that “TIME” upon earth was designed after the pattern of and was synchronized with the Most High, Yahuah Alahim’s very seat of power. So, while His time system is Earth’s benefactor, those who are obedient to its principles remain the beneficiaries.
Testimony of Two Witnesses
If Genesis 1 was all that was recorded for humanity to measure time, a multiplicity of opposing calendar models might be considered acceptable. But this is not the case! For we have it on competent authority that not only did the New Moon Day exist, but it is mentioned more than twice as often in Scripture than that of the seventh-day Sabbath. The New Moon Days were set forth as sacred worship days by the same Creator who rested on the seventh-day Sabbath. The New Moon Day was pre-ordained as the BEGINNING of His YEARS, MONTHS, WEEKS, and DAYS. And from this monumental day, all sacred days were designated to be counted, such as New Moon Days, lunar Sabbaths, and all the lunar appointed Feast Days.
In fact, the New Moon Day is referred to more than 300 times in the pages of Scripture. Compare this to the 150 times the seventh-day Sabbath is mentioned. Yet, who on earth keeps such a time-counting system today that includes worship upon New Moon Days and Lunar seventh-day Sabbaths? Can you fathom that ALL THE WORLD has fallen victim to a stupendous calendar swap, an entire replacement of TIME, and didn’t know it? Simply because your current calendar paradigm, created by Roman Emperors and in part wielded by the Yahudim (Jews), was given the stamp of approval by the Pope, later the Rabbinical Pharisee leaders, still later the misguided Reformers and Pastors, and still, later, a presumed modern prophetess who bought into the lie, DOES NOT MEAN IT CARRIES ONE SPECK OF TRUTH. Click on the image below.
This kind of discovery can only be found when, in humble submission to the Eternal Father, there is a willingness to unravel the lies, as one trusts Yahuah Alahim to lead him/her into all TRUTH, and NOT the traditions and commandments of men who have turned from it. Titus 1:14.
“Thus declares the Almighty Yahuah, ‘the GATE of the courtyard interior facing the EAST shall be SHUT six days for work, and in the day of the SABBATH it shall be thrown open wide, and in the day of the NEW MOON it shall be thrown open wide. But come unto the exalted one, by way of the porch of the temple gate from without, and stand beside the doorpost of the gate and observe the Kohenim’s (Priests) symbolic Aleph and Tav burnt offering and symbolic Aleph and Tav peace offering. And you shall prostrate in worship upon the threshold of the open gate, coming and going at any time, but the gate shall not be shut until sunset.” And thus worshiped the people of the land at the entrance way of the same gate in the SABBATHS and in the NEW MOON DAYS before the face of Yahuah.'” YAHchezq’EL (Ezekiel) 46:1-3 Link to Hebrew Word Study — Worship at the East Gate
“Assuredly, according to the shamayim (starry abode), the New Moons, and the earth: The New Moon that I appointed and set in this ORDER remains firmly the chief corner [stone],” declares Yahuah. “Wherefore, it establishes and confirms your name along with your children. And it shall come to pass according to its abundance— New Moon by New Moon you shall keep; and according to its abundance— Sabbath by Sabbath you shall keep. And I shall lead all flesh to prostrate in worship, according to this chief corner [stone],” declares Yahuah. YashaYAHU (Isaiah) 66:22-23 The Creator’s Calendar Restored Hebrew Text. Link to Hebrew Word Study — New Moon by New Moon You Shall Keep
There is no getting around the extreme significance that the Eternal Father places upon His sacred New Moon Days and lunar seventh-day Sabbaths. While His New Moon Day marks the harmonious commencement of each lunar month, the moon also demarcates with a unique lunar phase each day, counting from 1-29 or 30. Yet, stunningly, it starts the count of four lunar weeks with their seventh-day Sabbaths and regulates 12 months within a regular year and the 13th month every two or three years. Never is it out of sync with His preordained design, as every 19 years, the lunar cycles bring the years back into perfect harmony with the solar year. Every unit of our Creator’s original time-measuring model is a division of the larger unit. Try as one might, it is only through the avenue of fraud that the Creator’s true Sabbaths will appear to be located by any other method and cycle without end, divorced from the LIGHTS created for time-measuring.
The Fourth Day of Creation from the Book of Jubilees
Notice the detail with which the fourth day of creation is described. It does not list only four things that the sun, moon, and stars control for time-measuring as does the book of Genesis, but also spells out Sabbaths, months, Sabbaths of years, Jubilees, and all seasons of the years. Might this be evidence of more things altered or removed from Scripture? Who would benefit from this alteration and be motivated to change it? Anyone who had control of the Scriptural manuscripts and adopted Roman solar time-measuring.
8 …And on the fourth day He created the sun and the moon and the stars, and set them in the firmament of the heaven, to give light upon all the Earth, and to rule over the day and the night, and divide the
9 light from the darkness. And YAHUAH Alahim appointed the sun [these, the sun, moon, and stars] to be a great signs on the Earth for days and
10 for Sabbaths and for [lunar] months and for feasts [(mo’edim) lunar appointed days] and years, and for Sabbaths of years and for jubilees, and for all seasons of the years. And it [together these] divide the light from the darkness for prosperity, that all things may prosper which shoot and grow on the Earth. These three kinds [of celestial lights] [astro-luni-solar] He made on the fourth day. Book of Jubilees 2:8-10.
Those with Seventh-day Adventist Backgrounds
For those with Adventist roots, below was the once Seventh-day Adventist view, according to the perceived prophetess Ellen White, who identified suns, stars, and systems all circling the seat of Yahuah’s authority. Does this quote appear to imply that “TIME” above also consists of the same celestial-type time markers? Does this not provide evidence that even the early Adventists once considered that earth’s celestial bodies were patterned after that of the very throne of their Creator? Were these not explicitly placed to govern earth’s appointed worship assembly times of their loving Maker and sustainer? Would this not be the Creator’s system, like synchronized watches, beckoning His many creations to come and worship before Him upon His set apart (sacred) days? Yet, although she made this statement, there is no reason to believe she understood it, as she did not keep any calendar model other than the Roman Beast power’s time-measuring system.
With undimmed vision they gaze upon the glory of creation: suns and stars and systems, all in their appointed order circling the throne of Deity. Great Controversy, p. 677.
Conclusion
Humankind has been honored by their loving Eternal Father above as He gave us the same time-measuring system that utilizes the sun, moon, and stars fully synchronized with the courts above. Nothing is different. No wall calendars in the New Yarushalom (Jerusalem) designate when to worship before the Eternal’s throne. All the unfallen worlds in their perfection would naturally also have suns, moons, and stars that keep the same time system to synchronize all His faithful followers. All are in perfect harmony, even better than a Swiss watch, for the earth was designed as the center-piece gear-set within the grandest clock/calendar ever conceived by man. Its sun, moon, and stars operate on invisible gears as the great HANDS OF TIME and are fully visible to all the world when they are ruling along the east-west time continuum.
This GRAND clock/calendar mechanism is our Creator’s ever-present symbol that He not only exists but is present and intimately and lovingly involved with the concerns of humanity. So when Scripture’s record sends forth the message that His only Son, YAHUSHA haMashiach (the Messiah), shall come, and did come as the LAMB slain to take away your confessed sins and restore you, IT IS BOTH TRUE AND OCCURRED EXACTLY ON TIME! You can set your clock to it, literally! For all prophecy is revealed according to the precision of the TORAH (LAW) FEAST DAYS, and identify SALVATION’S TIME and EVENT mechanism, the only REMEDY provided by the Messiah alone in the temple not made with human hands.
Could it be the result of the rebelliousness of man’s hearts that earthlings have crafted several opposing calendar models based upon differing principles, causing them to worship another, i.e., Satan, on days they know not what? May our Creator, both Father and Son, have compassion upon us all as we seek to discover and restore His Kadosh (sacred) timepiece.
No matter which of the replacement time-measuring systems you were raised following or that your church or synagogue leaders compelled you to believe was the original, all have been deceived. “ALL THE WORLD HAS WONDERED AFTER THE BEAST.” But by the compassionate love of our Creator, He is calling all His would-be obedient followers to take this end-time and final opportunity to be synchronized to Him via His pre-ordained full New Moon and astro-luni-solar calendar model to locate His true Sabbaths and prophetic sacred Feast Days. These are a package deal, of which PASSOVER is at the forefront, as it is the SEAL OF YAHUAH, providing hope beyond the grave and safety from receiving the Mark of the Beast.
Yahuah Alahim calls His obedient followers to restore His original calendar so that they may synchronize their soul temples in preparation for His soon return. Until time runs out, every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.
“There are two ways to be fooled.
One is to believe what isn’t true;
The other is to refuse to accept what is true.
Yet the TRUTH is found in what holds the greatest
weight of evidence.”
Summary of Evidence
- Twelve Scriptural stories indicate that the seventh-day Sabbaths fell consistently on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th lunar dates.
- Earth’s time system is a synchronized COPY of the time model at the throne of Yahuah Alahim and is not the original.
- It is impossible for the Creator to create the full New Moon on New Moon Day.
- Our Creator can only create during six workdays.
- Our Creator must always REST on New Moon days and seventh-day Sabbaths because they were set apart as Kadosh (holy). (Ezekiel 46:1-3)
- In addition to the Sabbath, our Creator shared His full New Moon with humanity.
- The New Moon Day is mentioned twice as often in Scripture as the seventh-day Sabbath.
- The New Moon Day is identified as the most sacred day of worship of our CREATOR. Isaiah 66:22-23; Ezekiel 46:1-3
- Earth was designed as the center-piece gear in the grandest clock/calendar ever conceived by man. Its sun, moon, and stars operate on invisible gears as the great HANDS OF TIME and were designed to be fully visible to all the world when they are ruling along the east-west time-measuring continuum.
- Earth’s first week and month were set and hung from YAHUAH Alahim’s throne room clock/calendar.
