Notes

  1. In the Sacred Calendar a year begins in spring with the Passover month of Abib (Exodus 12:2, 13:4). Abib is also known as Nisan. Ethanim the seventh month is also known as Tishri. The 4th and 5th month names (Tammuz and Ab) are not found in the Scriptures. In leap years the twelfth month is called Adar 1 and the thirteenth month is called Adar 2. Months in the Sacred Calendar begin with a first- sighting of the new moon from the stand-point of Jerusalem. So the above dates will differ from the new moon dates shown in many pocket diaries. Diary dates are those of a conjunction (the astronomical new moon), which occurs a day or more before a first sighting. In this chart, the new moon is likely to be seen on the evening prior to the given date. For example, in 1993 Abib's new moon was expected to become visible on the evening of Wednesday 24th March, making Thursday 25th March 1993 the 1st Abib. This and the next Chart will help you keep track of the beginnings of months for years to come.

  2. Every seventh day of the week (Saturday) is a Sabbath; a sacred rest-day which, according to the Ten Commandments, all mankind is required to keep in honour of the Creator (Exodus 20:8-11, Isaiah 58:13-14, Hebrews 4:9-11). The Sabbath begins at sunset on Friday evening and ends at sunset on Saturday evening.

  3. In addition to the weekly sabbath there are seven other holydays in the Sacred Calendar which should be observed as Sabbath days (Leviticus chapter 23). The chart above lists these (Feast and Fast) dates for the coming years.

  4. Together with the weekly Sabbath of Saturday, the annual Sabbaths constitute the unchanging Sign or Signature of YAHWEH, the Almighty God of Israel (Exodus 20:12&20, Exodus 31:13-18).

  5. When Yahweh's Sabbaths are observed by a believer, they signal to the universe that here is a special worshipper of the Almighty: a believer in whose mind God has full permission to place His Law, His Seal, His Signature and His Name (Isaiah 8:16, Deuteronomy 6:4-8, Hebrews 8:8-10, Revelation 7:1-4).

  6. Another amazing fact is that the Almighty's annual Sabbaths are directly linked with the starting dates of the Time Prophecies of Daniel and Revelation.
