True Sabbath 3
|
The same thing can be seen again in the Crucifixion Week. The Sabbath is on the 15th. (John 19:31 and Luke 23:54,-56) A simple count backwards tells us that the first workday is the second day of the Moon, which places the weekly Sabbaths on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th and if our Savior had not been killed on the 14th, He would have kept the 15th Sabbath, as was His custom.
Preachers try to create a Sabbath on the 17th during the Crucifixion Week, but if that were so, then the tenth day of that Moon would have to be a Sabbath also, but the Scriptures proves otherwise in John 12:1. It says that it was six days before Passover (referring to the 15th, see John (12:1), Luke 22:1) and this would be on the 9th of the Moon and verse twelve says on the next day, the 10th, He came to Jerusalem. Now, notice this is when the Passover lamb was to be put up (He the Lamb) on the 10th, a very busy day.

This was definitely not a Sabbath because #1, He would have broken the Fathers law by riding the ass and causing it to work, if the 10th were a Sabbath. And #2, they were cutting tree limbs, etc., but most of all they were buying and selling on that day and He entered the house of YHWH and healed a man on the 10th and they said what a wonderful work, instead of accusing Him of breaking the Sabbath. This all proves the 10th was not a Sabbath and therefore the 17th could not have been a Sabbath either.
You can prove this in Luke 19:35-45. Matthew 21:2-15 tells how He came riding on an ass and how He entered the Temple where they were buying and selling. It was a very busy day each year. For everybody, it was a scheduled workday by YHWH. It would be pure confusion to have commanded a non-work day Sabbath on this day, or any workday like the fourteenth day of the first Moon when everybody is to kill and prepare the Passover. It is a commanded workday, pure confusion.
Another place the New Moon and Sabbaths are pinpointed is John 9:14. To prove this compare the following verses. John 7:2 tells us that the Feast of Tabernacles was at hand. Verse 10 tells that He went up to It. Verse 37 tells us that on the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, which is the 21st. (Lev. 23:32 and Ez. 45:25) John 8:1 tells us 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) and verse 59 says that He went out of the temple and passed by. Chapter 9:1 tells of seeing the blind man as He passed by him. Verse 6 says He made clay, and verse 14 says it was the Sabbath (22nd) when He made the clay, which proves the 22nd was a Sabbath.
The second day of the Moon was the first workday of the week again, and the weekly Sabbaths were on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th. How could we fail to see these Sabbaths always being on these set days of the Moon? Moreover, Our Savior (the Son of YHWH) was keeping the Heavenly Sabbaths that were created in Heaven and not by man’s calendar. The Sabbath here was on the 22nd. He, also, kept the 29th as a Sabbath. Won’t you also follow his example?
