Another place the New moon and Sabbaths are pinpointed is John 9:14. To prove this compare the following verses. John 7:2 tells the Feast of Tabernacles was at hand. Verse 10 tells He went up to it. Verse 37 tells us that on the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, which is the 21st (see Lev. 23:34-42, Numbers 25:12, Deut. 16:13-15, Nehemiah 8:17 and Ez. 45:25) all of these prove fact in seven day feast. John 8:1 tells that He went to the Mt. of Olives and verse 2 says that early in the morning He came again into the temple and taught (on the 22nd Sabbath) verse 59 says He went out of the temple and passed by.
Chapter 9:1 tells of seeing the blind man. Verse 6 says that He made clay, and verse 14 says that it was the Sabbath (22nd), which proves the 2nd day of the moon was the first workday of the week again. The New moon was not counted as one of the six workdays and the weekly Sabbaths were on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of the moon, and our Savior kept them on these days as was His Custom.
How could we fail to see these Sabbaths are always on these set days of the moon? And here again, our Savior (the son of YHWH) was keeping the Heavenly Sabbaths that were created in Heaven and not by man’s calendar. The Sabbath was on the 22nd when He kept it. Needless to say, the 29th was a Sabbath, also. Won’t you follow His example?

Paul was also using YHWH’s calendar after the Crucifixion in Acts 20:17. He mentions the first day of the week, which was on the second day of the moon. You can verify this in Acts 20:5, 6, 7. They sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread (22nd) and came unto them in Troas in five days (26th) where they abode seven days. The seventh day of Paul’s stay, was the second day of the moon and Paul calls the second day of the moon the first day of the week and that puts the Sabbath on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of the moon, proving the New moon was not counted as one of the six workdays.
Counting the 26th as the first day, the 27th as the second, the 28th as the third, the 29th as the fourth, the 30th as the fifth, the first or New moon as the sixth day of the stay, and the second day of the moon the seventh day of Paul’s stay at Troas. The Scriptures calls this second day of the moon the first day of the week, because they only stayed seven days. And, the first day of the week would be that seventh day they stayed and the second day of the moon is the first workday of the week. If the second day of the moon was the first workday of the week then that proves Paul kept the weekly Sabbath on the eighth day of the moon, then the 15th, etc. The New moon was not counted. Won’t you follow Him as He follows the Master?
The Sabbaths are on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th in the second moon. Apostle Paul remembered the true Sabbath day to keep it Holy. By counting six workdays after the New moon day, then resting on the seventh day according to the commandment, it will always be on the eighth day from the New moon, or the beginning, as it was in Genesis, chapter 1.
