5 And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to [a]rule all the [b]nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne. 6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness where she *had a place prepared by God, so that there [c]she would be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.there is no crescent moon in the Bible if i recall correctly
As to December 25 - the reason for this is well known -- Christians in the 1st century celebrated March 25th as the annunciation, when Jesus came to Mary's womb - so March + 9 months = December
Next - the "moon" -- Judaism also has a lunar based calendar as does hinduism, not just Islam
Besides which, come on - the day of Pascha - the celebration of Jesus' resurrection, is based on the lunar calendar, which is why the date of Pascha changes every year
Then you say I’m waiting for the day for the people of faith in any religion to understand why there is a New Moon Day in the Bible. -- everyone knows the reason why - because the Hebraic world, like most of the ancient world was LUNAR based, not solar based.
Why do you think we have 30 days in a month?
The Hebrew months are based on the lunar calendar.
Revelation 12:1 A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.
The ‘moon’ is mentioned with the sun and woman.
Anybody with an astronomy app can observe when that happens.
It will right around Rosh Hashanah or a month later.
That sign shows up as a crescent moon in our sky.
I first saw it in 2014. And every year since, the woman will get clothed with the sun and the moon will travel down under her feet.
And it has marked the 7th or 8th lunar month.
And the ultimate reason why there is a ‘New Moon Day,’ in the Bible as set apart and holy, isn’t because of the lunar calendar.
It’s because the New Moon represents what events occurred ‘before’ His first work day and who was there in the beginning.
Those events are commemorated in Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1.
It is why Ezekiel was told that the New Moon Day was treated ( in the eyes of the inner gate facing east of the temple) in a similar fashion to the Sabbath.
The gate was to be open on the New Moon and the Sabbath.
But closed the 6 working days.
A simple question can be asked:
What is a New Moon if it isn’t one of His 6 working days or Sabbath?
The answer is found in Genesis 1:1 , John 1:1 and thanks to Revelation 12, John 1:14.
The God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob has a day every month that isnt His 6 work days or Sabbath.
And that’s the day He chooses to commemorate the beginning,before His first day, and the birth of His Son.
The Word that became flesh.
And He does it every month. One day. The first day of His month. The New Moon Day.
The gate of the inner court is open.
Then His 6 work days. The gate of the inner court is closed.
Then His 7th day Sabbath. The gate of the inner court open again.
Btw, the date of Passover never changes.
It’s still the 14th day of His 1st month.
The 6th and final work day in His 2nd week of the month.
1 New Moon Day
6 work Days
1 7th Day Sabbath
6 work days = 14th day
The popes Babylonian days may be blessed to house His Passover and Sabbath,but He changes not.
And the 3rd day from Passover is always His 16th and the Feast of First Fruits.
The resurrection Day.
Because of that woman clothed with the sun and the moon under feet, we can know exactly what a New Moon Day and why it was set apart.
Because people of faith would believe False Goddess Friday was His 6th day instead of His True 6th Day- Passover,the 14th day of the 1st and every month on the God of Abraham’s calendar.
And it’s not just Christianity that thinks that. Antichrist Judaism and Antichrist Islam does too.
That also brings to mind what’s also in Revelation 12- Satan deceives the whole world.
Ezekiel 46:1- ask Him why He told Ezekiel that the New Moon Day isnt one of His 6 work days or Sabbath.
You aren’t going to learn that from religion.
I know I didn’t.
And the answer to why is found again,in Genesis 1:1,John 1:1 and John 1:14.
All about Him!
