Calendar Teaching from Matthew Nolan

The Calendar by Matthew Nolan 1-14- 2017
The calendar debate has caused more pain and turmoil and is used as a method to cast people out.
Rom 14:17  - not an exercise of the flesh - but righteousness peace and joy.... that is what the kingdom of Yah is about... let us therefore follow after the things that make peace.
The calendar has brought more war among believers than any other topic over the years...
Become slaves to other men's interpretations... and find yourself disagreeing with those you used to walk with.
Colossians 2:8 - see to it no one takes you captive by the teachings of man.
Calendar people use it to hold people captive for “the love of wisdom”... “ I am so smart”... here’s 250 power points and 500 pages - see you in six months... you are my slave... I am the one full of wisdom.”
That is exactly what happens and it is terrible.
Where is the love?  Where is the edification...?
I am looking at a room of believers that used to go to church on Sunday and used to run around looking for easter eggs and now you are sitting down at the Pesach and you are keeping Shabbat and you congregating at Sukkot .  Praise YHUH  but do you forget where you came from?  Let’s glory in what he is taking us instead of entering into arguments.
We are supposed to be keeping feasts in JOY... not arguing over when and what etc...
My whole motivation is to set you free from me and any man - to the word of Yah and be encouraged and empowered by the Ruach... let us be free to serve Yah in his Holy mikra kodeshim as it is supposed to be.
I hope this is inspiring because it hasn’t been to me.. listening to people argue about... and I don’t want any part of it.
Beware of the empty and endless mathematical timelines... 
An object lesson in futility... 
It always ends up in lunar and solar philosophy ... futility. We should be loving Yahusha and one another...and how do we do that - by showing up as a congregation...
Is the calendar important? Yes. But the most important thing is leaving the pagan and into the Biblical... and that is coming out of Babylon my people...
No longer chasing eggs and erecting tabernacles...
Do biblical things biblical ways.
The calendar tends to attract intolerant people.
We shouldn’t be following the pope and the Gregorian...but we shouldn’t be following the karrites either.
But you also have to watch out for the wolves in sheeps clothing that literally having you barking at the moon every month...
Today we are going to look at:
            Pre Islamic origins of sliver moon gazing.
            The difference between Chodesh/month and Yarachah/moon
            King Hezekiah and the slowing of the earth's orbit causing a longer solar year the shadow to go backwards.
            Calculating the turning of the year using the scriptural ‘Tekufah’ Exodus 34:22
            The solar calendar and the counting of days, ultimately freeing you up from philosophy so you can be joyful in the Holy Spirit as you come together in your communities for the !יהוה Shabbat and Feasts and Festivals.
Lunar Shabbat:
The seven day weekly cycle was instituted before the creation of the Moon so how then can the Moon govern the weekly cycle if it was not yet created or illuminated four days after the week began?
Leviticus 23 in verse 4 follows the listing of Shabbat and then preempts the listing of the other moedim which are to be "proclaimed".
                    Meaning - Shabbat is NOT a moed that is "proclaimed" according to the Moon.
                                        It’s a fixed 7-day cycle .יהוה given as the ‘Ot’ ‘sign' - or ‘mark’ on all believers throughout all generations by YHUH.
It is what sets us apart.
The Moon and the calendar: - this is what causes the dissension.
All biblical years must have 360 days, the question arises is how to we deal with the extra 4-5 days since the days of King Hezekiah.
We can’t be adding a 13th month like the rabbis or all calendars will be off and the Feasts will be off every third year.
The 11 day difference between the lunar and solar years must be reconciled yearly so the Feasts and YHWH’s fixed times to always start in the first month and not 30 days late every 3 years, or 7 times in 19 years like the rabbinical calendar.
The Feasts of יהוה must be fixed by the 12 stations-windows of the sun and stars.
The moon has been sick [not in sync] several times through the centuries, including the days of Enoch. and we have to acknowledge that .
Because the moon has been used in calendaration and because it is not in sync...that causes so much of the contention and problems today!
The moon used to be in sync with the sun prior to the days of King Hezekiah and calculations just won’t work with required precision today.
Men try and monk with it every three years, but still, יהוה hasn’t restored it to match the earth’s solar year.
And this has been the biggest stumbling block when it comes to the calendar debate.
the question you have to ask is:
Why is the moon sick?
Why is the moon sick and not the sun if YHWH moved the sun, causing the shadow to move in King Hezekiah's day [Isaiah Ch. 38 1-9 - verse 7]
The sun has 6 portals of 30 days each, which the sun then passes through twice a year.
Rising in 6 in the east and setting in the same 6 in the west. Each portal-month is a PERFECT 30 days + we add the 4 season days as the year draws to a close before the Vernal Equinox.
and this begins our calendaration
because
The sun gives us 12 perfect months or Chodashim-a transit through 12 [6 + 6] portals, the sun is healthy. (not saying worship the sun!! - we’ve all come out of that!)
In Hezikiah’s day - YHUH didn’t actually move the sun...or else the milky way would have been destroyed and the planets would have been destroyed....
YHWH slowed the earth's orbit to cause a longer solar year, as well as to cause the shadow to go backwards.
The earth was moved back and then it slowed down in its orbit causing the same cause and effect and the shadow that moved backwards... this would cause problems with the moon making it go from 12 perfect months - to some months with 29 days  and some 30 days...
Moon out of sync by 11 days a year; or 33 days every 3 years.
All that being said; the earth actually assists the moon in its sickbed, because without the earth's gravitational rescue; the moons actual lunation is 27 days, or 27 day months; that is not very reliable.
People bring up this Psalm - so let’s look at it...
Psalm 89:37:
His zera shall endure le-olam-va-ed, and his kesay as the sun before Me. 37 It shall be established le-olam-va-ed as the moon, is a faithful witness in the shamayim. Selah.
Is it  really talking about the moon being the witness to the calendaration?  
Let’s look at the context... because a text out of context begats error and error begats error!.....
  The moon is a faithful witness  but to what?
-   to the handiwork of the Creator, (look at the context!!)  - giving-witness He’s the Grand Designer; that doesn't change; but that doesn’t mean the moon is a reliable time witness for establishing times and seasons.
-   29:31 in teaching
2 Ki. 20:9 And Yeshayahu said, This ot shall you have of YHWH, that YHWH will do the thing that He has spoken: shall the shadow go forth-forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees? 10 And Hizqiyahu answered, It would be easy for the shadow to go down- forward ten degrees: no, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees. 11 And Yeshayahu the navi cried to YHWH: and He brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Achaz.
Isaiah 38:7 And this shall be an ot to you from vuvh, that vuvh will do this thing that He has spoken; 8 See, I will again bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down on the sundial of Achaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees on the dial, by the same degrees that it had gone down.
2 Chronicles 32:24 In those days Hizqiyahu was sick, near to death, and made tefillah to YHUH and He spoke to him, and He gave him again an ot. (the shadow moving backwards)
The Biblical calendar only allows for 12 months of 30 days each or 360 days. Nowhere in Scripture is an allowance made for an added 13th month.
New Months are to be celebrated on New Month Day, as the sun passes 30 degrees or 30 days in the heavens from point A to point B.
Not a new moon day because the moon has been sick and it has been unreliable ever since the days of King Hizqiyahu. It’s lunation no longer equals that of the sun. This is the game changer.
Many people think that “moon” and “month” is the same word - but it is not.
Chodesh/Yarayach:
In the Tanach almost all references to month use the Hebrew word ‘Chodesh’, 
chodesh = a set of 30 days of time,
NOT the word ‘Yarayach,’ or literally “The Moon.”
‘Yarayach’ is only used 26 times, all referring to the actual moon itself.
So we have to make the clear distinction:
Chodesh = - 30 days of time
Yarayach = literally the moon
do not confuse the 2 words!
The Hebrew word ‘Chodesh’ is used over 256 times in the Tanach and always refers to a
MONTH, solar month, not a moon of any type.
Moon is only used 26 times, not to refer to a time period, but the definite article.
The Hebrew word for New Moon = Yarayach, and the Hebrew word for  Crescent Moon = saharon Yare’akh  (Saharon Yare'akh) are NOT the same!
The Crescent is NOT the New Moon, and the evidence of Crescent-Moon "worship" in the scriptures has a very disturbing history, It’s pre Islamic, its infiltrated the Hebrew Roots from the mystery religions of Babylon just like Hanukah and Purim have!
babylonian and preislamic worship
and people will ask...  about Psalm 104:19
Psalm 104:19
There are different kinds of appointed times and only the context can determine which time it appoints.
When Psalm 104:19 is read in context with verses 21 and 22 it speaks of the Moed of the night or darkness, as beasts in the forest look for prey in the Moadim, Seasons of night-darkness.
Ps. 104:19 He created the moon for moadim: 1 the sun knows its going down.
20 You make darkness, and it is night: in it all the beasts of the forest do creep.
21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from El. 22 The sun rises, they gather themselves together, and lie down in their dens. 23 Man goes forth to his work and to his labor until the evening. 24 O vuvh, how manifold are Your works! In chochmah have You made them all: the earth is full of Your riches.
Psalm 104:21, is a continuation of that theme and then it shifts to verse 22 where the moadeem-appointed times of light are regulated by the sun. This isn’t a reference to the moon itself regulating annual weekly Shabbats or annual feasts.
This was a major error.... people were taking things out of context and then angry when I’d bring up the rest of the texts.... because they had just devoted 5 years of their lives to studying the “calendar” and I would mess it up with Scripture... IN CONTEXT. 
The moon is not reliable and because it is out of sync - we must rely on the sun!
History of the lunar and solar year:
Enoch to Noach 364 day solar year and probably 364 day lunar year as well.
Noach to King Hezekiah; 360 days (Genesis 7:11-8:4).
360 day synchronized solar and lunar calendars are a sign of judgment, as they will return in the Great Tribulation.
King Hezekiah to the Great Tribulation; solar year 365 days, lunar year 354 days, = the moon is sick and won’t align the Feast and Festivals of יהוה in this age.
The Great Tribulation, the last 3 1/2 years of this age; The moon will be healed by being synchronized with the sun, both declaring 360 day years (judgment),
- so both or either can be used for years (THEN), days, weekly Shabbats, and annual feasts. (Revelation 11:1-2, Revelation .)12:6
In the Millennial Kingdom both the solar and lunar year will have 364 or 365:
In eternity Revelation chapter 21 and chapter 22 when the sun and moon are not needed; because when Messiah our Malki-Tzedik stands up to lead us at the fixed times, we’ll stand and follow Him and His light and His light alone!
Only during Babylonian captivity that the first visible sighting of the crescent moon...  which of course were the for-runners to the Sanhedrian...  but there is no evidence that this is how the Jews observed the New Moon  before the exhile... the only ‘proof’ was the history recorded by the pharasees...and we know the pharasees are today’s orthodox jewish rabbis... why follow them?  man’s dogma....
Why Babylon?
Because the pre Islamic Babylonian moon-deity Sin was worshipped there, whose symbol is the crescent moon. Now that same diety comes with the more modern name of allah .  but it is the preislamic moon diety “SIN”.
The scriptural record of the crescent moon and those associated with it are negative!
(Genesis 35:4) "Before Yaakov went to Bethel to present himself before Yahweh he made all his people to hand over to him their "strange elohim" and ear-rings. (i.e., Crescent-shaped amulets), and he hid them under the oak which was in Schechem.”
It was worn by women (Isaiah 3:18), and by kings (Judges 8:21/26), and tied to the necks of camels (Judges 8:21) to protect them from the Evil Eye.  This is the worship of allah in the pre-islamic god “sin” the moon god. Jericho = “Moon city”....
people don’t realize that mohommad went around and picked out one of the daily dieties and he picked SIN.....and we will make this the supreme diety and named it allah... and then he told the Jews and they wouldn’t have any of it so off with their heads...
He just picked out one of the daily dieties...in Mecca - we will take montheism...the one that was wondering around in Jericho..and the one that Scripture warns about from B’re’shiyt all the way forward.  The one that is in the war between the seed - serpent seed and seed of YHUH... between the one true alohiym and the created gods of this world... and of course they want you to bark at the moon! and these people are practicing Islam in its earliest forms and they could even be at risk at taking the mark of the beast or the mark of the beast as they get caught up in the preislamic origins of Islam...
Moshe, the Sphinx, the Pyramids, the Equinox and the dawn day start marker!
Acts 7:22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
The Sphinx is an equinoctial marker. The Sphinx faces East at the exact location where the Sun rises on the day of the vernal equinox (21 March). As the sun rises it illuminates its face.
The Great Pyramid is a giant sundial, with it’s shadow to the north and its reflected sunlight to the south. This accurately marks both the solstices and equinoxes. Two of its faces are orientated due east and west - the exact points of the rising and setting sun only on the spring and autumnominal equinox.
So the Mohamadins shot at it and tore up its face because it disrupts their moon gazing... and it is a marker of the Tekufah  - the turning of the year...Sphinx gaze set due east - targeting that exact position of sunrise at the beginning of the day...
The great pyramid of Geeza - shadows north...two faces are due east and west only on the spring and autumn equinox....  the faces are actually concave which give it 8 faces instead of four... and only from the air can you see this....so when the limestone veneer casing was still on it - it would literally flash - warning of the coming and turning of the year and it would flash if you missed it! Built into it... wow! When the actual point of the Tekufah came - the flashing would have ceased... flashing would have been visible from miles away.  Some astronomers believe it could be seen from the moon - if you could even get there through the Van Allen Radiation Belts ... but that is another topic itself. :)
When the sun reaches 60 Degrees altitude  from the great pyramaid- the tropical year begins and ends when reaches 60 degrees in the fall... and this is where we get the minute....   and people don’t realize the accuracy of these two things the sphinix and the great pyramid.. . are more accurate than the observatory in Greenwich observatory... especially if you take into account the concave bases and limestone veneer that would have flashed!  
There was no doubt that Moshe knew when Abib 1 was - the head of the year... no doubt... all laid out for him....Scripturally solid, historically and architecturally laid out for you and I haven’t given you a time line from creation forward... just look in your scripture and look at history and the architecture and draw your own conclusions and see if that sets you free from mans’ computations.  Literally vernal equinox last day of year.. next day - day one of year... 12 - 30 day months finish out the last 4-5 days  of the year and wait for the sign flashed all over Egypt and then is the vernal equinox and the next day is the new year... you are free - you are not a slave to me... its simple...
The Equinox is the beginning of the year... the flashing announced it... Moshe was learned in this and he knew when the head of the year would be.. Moshe knew all of the knowledge of the Egyptians.
We MUST understand the difference between equinox and equilux....
Equinox or Equilux:
 equinox is not equal day and night, that’s equilux.
The equinox is a time when the center of sun can be observed directly above the earths equator.
It’s the equinox that is the scriptural sign for the beginning of the year.
Equinox in scripture is Tekufah. Tekufah is an exact yearly event. The equilux is not exact because it can last for longer periods of time on either side of the equinox.
The Tekufah:
The Tekufah is found in Ex 34.22 (the turn of the year), 1 Sam. 1:20 (Hannah/Elkenah>Samuel prophecy) Elkenah was attending the Feast of Passover, Ps. 19:6 (the mazzoreth and the constellations), 2 Chr. 24:23 (the year end).
So I am looking at the calendar - based upon the testimony of acts that Moshe knew everything /wisdom of egyptioans , the history, the architecture in Cairo, Egypt that testifies at the time of the equinox and then I am looking at the Hebrew in scripture and I am seeing that this Hebrew word Tekufah connects us with the turning of the year... and all of this is leading me to making an educated scriptural decision based upon this information because I know that the moon is sick and I know that there can’t be a 13th month added and I know that things changed in the days of Hezakiah and I look at the testimony of Noach and i can see that there were 30 day months... and I can see that there were 12 months, my 6+6 my 12 portals 30 days per month for 360 days... and my residual days are on the end of that 4-5 days ...and I wait for the equinox and the next day is the beginning of the new year...
My Shabbats ...they are from creation - not connected to the turning of the year b/c that is the sign from creation before we got into the moon or any of that.
Deut 16:1The great Et-Ot, or sign of the year. (not barley sniffing!.. not abib green crops as the karites persist today!)
This great sign is for the entire year and all weekly and annual shabbats and it’s called the ‘turn of the year’ or the ‘Tekufah Ha Shanna’, Rosh Ha Shanna.
Deut 16:1 Shomer the month of Aviv-Ot (the great sign/Tekufah turn of the year) in order to perform the Peach to YHWH your Elohim, for in the month (not moon) of the great Aviv-Ot, sign, your Elohim brought you out of Egypt-Mitzrayim by night.
Two seasons - biblically: summer and winter:
Gen 8:22 While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and
winter, day and night, shall not cease.
Beware of the Exodus 9:31 Eisegesis -
Exodus 9:31 Now the flax and the barley were struck (by hail - the 7th plague), for the barley was in the head (Aviv) and the flax was in the bud.
-   this does NOT say that when the flax and barely are in head is the beginning of the year!!
Tekufah - turn of the year - draw out - an Exegesis of the text! otherwise we are in trouble... Tekufah (understanding this) is drawing out - the exegesis of the text!
2 Sam 11:1 teshuwbah תשובה (tav-sheen-vav-bet-heh) a completion of a year.
Why did the kings always go to war in the spring?... so the invading army had all the food to feed the army!
1 Kings 20:22 The King of Syria would invade at the ‘turn of the year’ and steal the harvest.
1 Chronicles 20:1 In the time of King David, Joab would take out a raiding party after the ‘equinox’,
‘turn of the year’ and plunder the harvest!
Identifying the Equinox:
    
            The ecliptic represents the suns apparent yearly path in from of the constellations of the Mazzaroth.
            The celestial equator is a circle drawn around the sky above the earth’s equator.
            The elliptic and celestial equator intersect at the spring equinox and autumnal equinox points.
Calendar Guidelines:
            YHWH’s calendar is verifiable in the Flood narrative, and recorded by Moshe in 2550 years later still with 30 days months and 12 months in a year.
            When the yearly circuit increased, you simply add the extra days to the end of the 12 months until the Tekufah resets the year again! No longer are we beholden to men’s calendaration!  It’s that simple and that’s why people will hate this teaching! Because they want to enslave you to their power points!
            12 months
            residual days
            vernal equinox is the last day of the year.
            next day is first day of the year
  You are not going to win anyone to Mashiach by fighting about this...
The Feasts of יהוה all the way through into the 7th month remain unhampered with by men’s calculations and hands. No inter-calculated days, no nonsense.
            Just as Noach had 5 months all with 30 days, so YHWH’s calendar will have 30 days in a month.
            The equinox is the last day of the year - next dawning of the day is day one, month one of the new year.
Main adjustments:
            No 31 days months - the added 5 1/4 days since King Hezekiah are counted at the end of the year before the equinox arrives, never interfering with YHWH’s Feasts and festivals.
            We don’t begin our Sabbath in alignment with Jerusalem; so I'm not up for beginning my year in alignment with Jerusalem anymore - local time from now on! When the equinox is at your local time - that is it.
            The day begins at dawn - not sunrise, light breaking forth is the beginning of time event, not the cresting of the sun over the horizon.
Ultimately when I look at Scripture , history, archaeology and I see Moshe was learned in the wisdom of the Egyptians and we can now move forward with the Tekufah... the equinox and then start the new year.
This has taken me 15 years to get unshackled of the endless conversations and discussions... and always someone body has a better calendar...  you can lay out 20 calendars and they all have scriptural substance... but the motives behind them are not pure... that is the key - you’ve got to have discernment - this message is not to enslave you to my dogma - I don’t claim to have it all right.. it is just we are doing what we understand...  I follow Mashiach and until he comes again we are doing this simple thing...get out of pagan and follow YHUH... the kingdom of Alohiym is not an exercise of the flesh - but righteousness peace and Joy...
amein.
Questions and discussion....after teaching
We don’t know the year we are living in.
We are not keeping the sabbatical year - we don’t know when it is. We are in the exile... it doesn’t say do this in the exile...that is a land mitzvot.... 
Make a sundial with your kids.
The equinox is the last day of the year and then 12 months with 30 days.
Then the residual days (thanks to Hezekiahand then in 4-5 days there is a vernal equinox and then the first day... and feasts and festivals aren’t messed up.
What are the dates this year? Click here for a printable listing.
The day starts at the dawn of the day...  look at creation.. light came and a day was...  read B’re’shiyt again...  (not at sunrise)... it is about LIGHT... the creation sign.
