The Creator God's Annual Holydays

2001

 

You can easily determine the Creator God’s annual holydays every year using a copy of Dr. Mongur Ahmed’s program named MoonCalc, Version 5.2. You can search the Internet for "Mooncalc" and download this free program.

Then do the following steps using this program to determine the correct calendar dates for each holyday. The frame of reference for this is Jerusalem, since it is the only place on earth that is chosen by God to be his headquarters. All times are in Jerusalem local time (which is Universal time plus 2 hours).

In determining the first new moon that begins the Creator's Calendar each year, you must first realize that the Creator commands that the Spring Feasts must occur in the Spring season, which means after the vernal equinox. Then the first new moon after the vernal equinox begins the first month of the Creator's annual calendar. Originally, as the Bible shows, the months were 30-days months, and were probably marked by a lunar eclipse every month in Jerusalem, when the Moon, Earth and Sun were aligned in a perfect conjunction. Because of mankind's sins, God has changed this arrangement, making it harder to determine exactly when the New Moon occurs every month. (This will be restored soon in order to fulfill the 42 month - 1260 days prophecies in Revelation 11.)

The best way to explain how to determine the First Spring New Moon is to use the analogy of a watch having an hour, minute and second hands. It is not truly Noon until all 3 hands are exactly on the 12-hour mark. In the same way, the beginning of the Creator's annual calendar does not occur until the season, new moon, and sunset are all on the same mark. These three events must occur to start the Creator's annual calendar:

  1. The season must begin at the vernal equinox at Jerusalem.

  2. The new moon must reach its least illumination at Jerusalem.

  3. The next sunset must occur at Jerusalem.

 

The steps below will help you determine each of these events so you can know when the Creator's annual calendar begins, and then the dates of all of the annual holydays the Creator commands to be observed.

 

 

  1. Get date of Vernal equinox at Jerusalem 31:47N, 35:13E
    2.

    Date

    3/15

    3/16

    3/17

    Sunset

    17:47:05

    17:47:46

    17:48:25

    Sunrise

    5:49:28

    5:48:13

    5:46:57
     

    11:57:37

    11:59:33

    12:01:31
     

    12:00:00

    12:00:00

    12:00:00

    Equal Day/Nite

    2:23

    :57

    1:31
           

    So, the first New Moon on or after 3/16 begins the Creator’s Calendar, since this is when the Spring season starts in Jerusalem - the date that is closest to an equal 12-hour day and 12-hour night..

     

  2. Find when least illumination starts and ends, and when Molad (conjunction) occurs.

    3. .0019 illumination of waxing moon " )" ends: 5:13 on 3/25

    .0019 illumination of waning moon "( " starts: 1:18 on 3/25 (Molad = 3:15)

    3:55 length of lowest illumination

     

  3. Find apparent Jerusalem sunset after Molad date-time in #2.

    4. Sunset on 3/25 is 17:55. This is after 3:15, so the new moon of the 1st month starts at 3/25 at sunset, making the Passover on 3/26, Monday.

     

  4. Count 14 days from and including Abib 1 (date in #4). This is Passover day, which begins at sunset of day before at which time the Passover Service occurs – at the very same time the ancient Israelites killed their lambs, and Jesus had his service with his disciples (4/8).
  5. The next day after 14th is the 15th - the Feast of Unleavened Bread (4/9). After sunset of 14th (on the 15th) is the Night Much Observed, when the Israelites left Egypt at night.
  6. Count 7 day from and including the 15th to the 21st day, which is the Last Day of the Feast of Unleavened (4/15), which begins the previous day at sunset.
  7. From the morrow after the Sabbath that occurs during the Feast of UB (4/15), count 50 days from and including that "Sunday" to the 50th day which will also be a Sunday - the Feast of Firstfruits (6/3), which begins the previous day (Sabbath) at sunset.
  8. Count 7 new moons from and including 1st new moon in #1 above. This is the Feast of Trumpets (9/18). Determine this True New Moon the same way as in items 2-3 above.

.0019 illumination of waxing moon " )" ends 13:58 on 9/17

.0019 illumination of waning moon "( " starts 10:46 on 9/17 (Molad = 12:22)

3:12 length of lowest illumination

Sunset on 9/17 is 17:42. This is after 12:22 so the new moon of 7th month starts at 9/17 at sunset, making the Feast of Trumpets on 9/18, Tuesday.

 

Count to 10th day - the Day of Atonement (9/27) Thursday.

Count to 15th day - the Feast of Tabernacles (10/2) Tuesday.

Count to 22nd day - the Last Great Day (10/9) Tuesday.

 

WARNING

Now that you know HOW to determine when the Creator God’s Holydays occur every year, you have NO EXCUSE for not observing them AT THEIR PROPER TIME.

According to His Word, the curses of the Creator God will be upon those who violate His Covenant (Deut 29. 14-28).

These curses are so severe because the Holydays commanded in this Covenant and the lessons and blessings they bring are so important. The Creator put His Calendar in the sky so that no one could change it, and so that everyone could know it (Ps 19.1-4; Gen 1.14-19).

Do not be deceived by traditions of men!

Keep the Creator God’s Holydays commanded in Leviticus 23 at the proper time and see whether it is of God or not (Jn 7.17).
