I have studied this idea in some middling detail - But I rejected it, primarily because Judaism, despite it's faults, has kept a record all the way back to the 2nd Temple period (the time when Yeshua walked the earth). At the time of the 2nd Temple, as today, the Sabbath was honored in a weekly fashion on the seventh day. Since Yeshua honored that day, and provided no correction, I can reasonably assume that this is certainly one thing the Jewish tradition has correctly transmitted.
Equally problematic is that the only day the Jews have named (for time immemorial) is the seventh day - 1st day, second day, third day [...] sixth day, Sabbath Day. This reinforces the weekly count as a continuing and unbroken thing.
And finally, wrt the Prophecy, if the days were reset at the beginning of each month, it becomes virtually impossible - nay, flatly impossible - to determine that the prophecies were (and are being) fulfilled so very precisely as they obviously have been fulfilled. IOW, the Prophecy works according to the moon cycle of months in determining months and years, but requires the fixed week and the determination of days in order to calculate regardless of calendar.
And one can extrapolate the problem of 'resetting the week' into the Prophecy itself - What does one do with a 'prophecy of weeks', wherein the weeks are a determination of '7 year groups' if weeks reset? How can they be calculable in that case? In fact, they can't, but they are calculable (the numbers physically work) if the uninterrupted succession of weeks remain.
[...] our 5 day work week isn’t from God. Nor is our calendar..
Oh, I am well aware of that.
We have all been deceived about the Sabbath
I heartily agree - But the deception is Sunday, not the Seventh Day. You are welcome to try to convince me, but the Prophets stand in your way - The Prophecy is my thing, and is finally the proof that YHWH is God, and it is beautiful how perfectly it works - to the very day... to the very hour. I doubt entirely that your method can trump that.
And those Jews didn’t celebrate Passover on the correct day either. They mushed Passover and Feast of unleavened bread together....14th and 15th are two separate days two separate appointed times but they seem to be smushed by the religious leaders... let me ask you plainly.. if they can’t get the messiah right, how accurate are they with anything? and would I trust them on anything if they missed that whopper of a miss? and choose to follow their man made traditions? it is not easy to deal with the fact that organized religion has screwed with Gods laws and appointed times detailed in His word... was Sunday called Sunday back then or maybe days were probably counted 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, preparation, sabbath? I don’t know that.... but I know the bible tells me traditions of men are easily assumed over the commandments of God.. my Savior warned me about them... I don’t expect people to change their traditions.This was a relatively new revelation for me.. and man, it rocks your world... because little easter celebrations and christmas celebrations really get screwed up when you really search the Word... placing our traditions over what the bible says and how those chosen people without cell phones or calendars knew how to tell what day they were in a month was because God told them. because everyday looks the same with the sun.. it is supposed to rock your world.. If it doesn’t, then we have our reward and we can enjoy our traditions.(even if they arise from a Jewish heart) For some its christmas. For some it will be the fall feasts... for some, probably some saint will be venerated this coming Sunday.... my opinion means nothing though... search the Word ... that first sabbath was an eye opener. Some have a job they cant ask for these days off.. or it will mess with their vacation or schooling.... sometimes ignorance is bliss... but knowing is always eternally rewarding....
