If you go by the new moon and new month in Jerusalem, that is what I observe too... and then the moeds are found with that just as Genesis states..it is a beautifully simple calendar with no postponements or suspension rules needed.

From the sounds of it then, you don’t observe a continous Saturnsday sabbath and observe the Biblical month and week of:
New moon day being the first day of the month,
then six normal work days and then,
the Seventh day Sabbath?
You and I observe the same calendar then!
I too try to ignore the Gregorian calendar because the secular humanists have their days on it, the Muslims have their days on it, and the churchianity crowd have their days on it and it just muddies God’s perfect design.
Blessings! It isn’t an easy calendar to observe in this secular humanist world!

What you post make no sense.

Yehova’s Sabbaths have been continuous from the creation, every seven days. These are completely independent of the Moons/Months.

The lunar cycle is approximately 29.6 days, so there is no way that the two can coincide on a rational basis. The other lump in your gravy is the beginning of the year, at the month of the Aviv Barley. This requires an “Adar Bet” every few years as the lunar 12th cycle advances by approximately 1/3 of a cycle per year. The year cannot begin until the barley is “Aviv,” which essentially means close enough to ripe that it will be possible to grind flour in two weeks from that date.

This is an observation that can only be made at the temple mount in Jerusalem, which is the reason that the use of the Biblical calendar had to be suspended in the 4th century, and temporarily replaced by a tabular astronomical computation.

That table became untenable about 20 years ago, which spawned several attempts to restore the Biblical method. None were successful until Michael rood teamed up with Nehemia Gordon, an expert in the ancient scriptures, and they were able to assemble the methods and obtain accurate astronomical data to restore the calendar.

The Sabbath must be continuous to comply with Torah, as all prophetic events are based therein. The accuracy of the Rood/Gordon calendar has been verified by its coincidence with the date of restoration of the nation of Israel “in one day” exactly as prophesied.

For the purpose of computation of any astronomical event, the use of the Julian calendar is the established method, simply because that is the one that Astronomy has chosen, and all tables and software are based on it. That is the sole value of any man made calendar.

This is of the utmost importance because Biblical celebration of Passover and First fruits are completely dependent thereon.
