LUNAR SABBATH: AN ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION
IF THE NEW MOON IS A SABBATH, IT WAS SURELY VIOLATED EACH 1ST DAY OF THE 1ST MOON:
SEE EXODUS / SHEMOTH 40:1,2
THE TEMPLE NOT MADE WITH HANDS IS THE BRIDE OF YAHUSHA. HE IS THE 'MASTER OF THE SABBATH', AND THE SABBATH IS THE SIGN OF THE EVERLASTING COVENANT (EZ 20). IF A TEACHING REMOVES THIS SIGN AND SETS UP AN ABOMINATION THAT DESOLATES THE COVENANT, AND ITS SIGN, WE HAVE TURNED ASIDE TO MYTHS AND DOCTRINES OF DEMONS. THE BEAST ALREADY TRIED THIS WITH SUN-DAY.
Has it occurred to those falling for the “lunar Sabbath” heresy that
Yahusha
was in perfect agreement with the weekly and annual Sabbaths practiced around Him
just 2000 years ago? If there had been any previous secret knowledge (or
“hidden manna” as the promoters of the lunar Sabbath claim), surely Yahusha
would have made it known that there was some major flaw in the timing of the
week of seven days. Further, if anyone had attempted to
change the
correct pattern, such as Rome, then there would be some evidence of this;
what Rome did
attempt (the 8-day week) failed miserably and collapsed back into the true
pattern used in the rest of the world since the dawn of time.
Wikipedia.org tells us:
“Because the nundinal cycle was
absolutely fixed at eight days under the Republic, information about the
dates of market days is one of the most important tools we have for working
out the Julian equivalent of a Roman date in the pre-Julian calendar. In the
early Empire, the Roman market day was occasionally changed.”
Claiming the Romans
forced a “seven-day week” upon the whole world is simply false
information. Even if they did so without any record of it happening,
the Chinese have been insulated from the western cultures since long before
Herodotus, the father of History, and they have always observed a seven-day
week. The Romans didn’t cause the 7-day week seen all over the world!
Even tribes that have had no contact with outsiders are found to have the
imprint of the 7-day week. The 7-day week, a repeating cycle, is a fingerprint of Yahuah
on all humanity.
The record shows that late in the second century there were the beginnings
of the observance of “Sun-day” resting among some assemblies, while the rest
of the Roman assemblies observed the original seventh day. So, both
the true Sabbath, as well as the first day of the week, began to be
observed. Then, we have this bit of evidence to contend with:
In the 4th century,
“For although almost all
churches throughout the world celebrate the sacred mysteries
on the Sabbath of every week, yet the
Christians of
Alexandria
and at
Rome, on account of some ancient
tradition, have ceased to do this.”
On 7 March AD 321, the Roman Emperor
Constantine issued a decree making
Sun-day a day of rest from labor stating:
“All judges and city people
and the craftsmen shall rest upon the venerable day of the sun. Country
people, however, may freely attend to the cultivation of the fields, because
it frequently happens that no other days are better adapted for planting the
grain in the furrows or the vines in trenches. So that the advantage given
by heavenly providence may not for the occasion of a short time perish.”
– Joseph Cullen
Ayer, A Source Book for
Also in the 4th century,
“The people of Constantinople, and almost everywhere, assemble together on
the Sabbath, as well as on the first day of the week, which custom is never
observed at
The people at
Council of
“Christians must not judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day, rather honoring the Lord's Day; and, if they can, resting then as Christians. But if any shall be found to be judaizers, let them be anathema from Christ.”
(Canon 29 – 360 AD)
The Scripture text at Lev./Uyiqara 23 would seem to be impossible to work
out for a “Lunar Sabbather”, since Yahuah discusses seven complete weeks,
then mentions the “morrow after the seventh Sabbath,” making fifty days.
Lev 23:15, 16: “‘And from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day
that you brought the sheaf of the wave-offering
(Bikkurim, First-fruits, a shadow of Yahusha's resurrection),
you shall count for yourselves: seven FULL WEEKS.
Until the morrow after the
seventh Sabbath
you count
fifty days,
then you shall bring a new grain offering to Yahuah.’”
(7 X 7 = 49 SHEBA SHABATHOTH TAMIMOTH, SEVEN COMPLETE, PERFECT WEEKS).
Like musicians playing a song together, we have to follow the same
pattern
(beat, timing) to stay together.
Musicians can easily see the pattern of repeating sevens every time they
sing and play together in the same key and time signatures.
THE WORD OCTAVE MEANS 8, BUT THIS INTERVAL (THE OCTAVE) IS SIMPLY THE
FIRST INTERVAL BEGINNING AGAIN:
Imagine having to listen to an orchestra with each section interpreting the
number of notes per scale, beats per measure, and the pitch of each note.
It would be madness, and sound like chaos!
The main thing to take away from all this is that there is no record of anyone attempting to alter a previously existing lunar Sabbath pattern since the days Yahusha walked among mankind.
Therefore, the lunar Sabbath is a new wind of doctrine, never having been seen on this planet, and without record in all of human history.
It is certainly not found in the Word of Yahuah.
The seven-day week is not only everywhere on the planet, but it is the same seven days. If it was ever shifted to align with the phases of the Moon, the point in time and place could be identified.

“I bow myself toward Your set-apart Hekal, And give thanks to Your Name
For Your kindness and for Your Truth;
For You have made great Your

No, it's not Nebuchadnezzar from Daniel 4, but a change comes over a person who becomes one of these:
Dan 4:16
"‘Let his heart be changed from man’s, let him be given the heart of a beast, and seven times pass over him.'"
