There are so many calendars floating around these days among those claiming they are part of Yasharal and each man/woman is doing what is right in his own eyes and are not willing to see the historical perspective of Yasharal in dispersion/captivity and are insistent in observing Yahauh's muaedim/feasts and Shabbats on foreign soil. They say Shabbat Shalum on different days, they celebrate feasts on different days claiming they found their calendar from abominable books as book of Enoch, Temple scroll and other scrolls from Dead Sea scroll etc. They refuse to look within Turah to see the Ruach in the letter and would go everywhere else and hence it is evident that they have gone to Judaism to drink from the old wine and yoke others with their beliefs which they themselves cannot prove from the inspired scrolls we have. This study is to show Yasharal's historical perspective as to how their times and laws were changed and how in dispersion their New moons, Shabbats, sacrifices, feasts etc all ceased, this study also shows how we transition from a physical day to being in the Ruach on Yahuah's day. It's very important to understand the historical perspective of Yasharal in the time keeping as Yahuah made the time keepers on the 4th day and made them with a purpose.
Gen 1:14 And Elohim said, “Let lights come to be in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and appointed times, and for days and years,
15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth.” And it came to be so.
16 And Elohim made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, and the stars.
17 And Elohim set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And Elohim saw that it was good.
19 And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, the fourth day.
Gen 1:14 says Aluahym made these lights to be for signs and appointed times, and for days and years.
There are calendars only following the path of the sun and leaving out the moon, and there are calendars only following the moon leaving the path of the sun, it was prophesied by Daniel of the beast who would try to change times and laws of the Most high and the qodesh ones would be given to his hand for time/muaed, times/muaedim and khatsay
Daniel 7:25 and it speaks words against the Most High, and it wears out the set-apart ones of the Most High, and it intends to change appointed times b and law, and they are given into its hand for a time/muaed and times/muaedim and half a time/khatsay.
There may be some who may argue that the chapter 7 of Daniel falls into the Aramaic script for chapter 1 and 8-12 were written in Hebrew but chapters 2-7 of Daniel were written in Aramaic so the word for time/s in Chapter 7 is 'iddan' and so it doesn't speak about Yahuah's muaedim. Hold on folks I don't want to get into which part was written in Hebrew and which one was written in Aramaic but with your very argument that chapters 1,8-12 were written in Hebrew then you need to see Chapter 12
Dan 12:7 And I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, and he held up his right hand and his left hand to the heavens, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it would be for a time/muaed H4150, times/muaedim H4150, and half a time/khatsay H2677. And when they have ended scattering the power of the set-apart people, then all these shall be completed.
So you see the Hebrew clearly says the power of the set-apart people will be scattered for muaed, muaedim and khatsay and hence it is related to muaedim/appointed times or feasts of Yahuah.
The fourth and diverse beast of the seven was Rome. The Caezars to stay in power for more time changed the times to usher in apostasy, Rome further pushed into main stream Christianity with their Julian and then the recent Gregorian calendar which observes a day from midnight to midnight and the whole world accepted this form of time keeping.
In Daniel 8, Daniel speaks of the vision of the Evening and the morning...
Daniel 8: 21 “And the male goat is the sovereign of Greece, and the large horn between its eyes is the first sovereign.
22 “And that it was broken and four stood up in its place: are four rulerships arising out of that nation, but not in its power.
23 “And in the latter time of their rule, when the transgressors have filled up their measure, a sovereign, fierce of face and skilled at intrigues, shall stand up.
24 “And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power, and he shall destroy incredibly, and shall prosper and thrive, and destroy mighty men, and the set-apart people.
25 “And through his skill he shall make deceit prosper in his hand, and hold himself to be great in his heart, and destroy many who are at ease, and even stand against the Prince of princes – yet without hand he shall be broken.
26 “And what was said in the vision of the evening and morning is truth. And hide the vision, for it is after many days.”
Dan 8:14 He said to me, For two thousand, three hundred evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary shall be properly restored.
Daniel was told to hide the vision of evening and mornings for it is after many days (verse 26) and the vision was to be for 2,300 evening and mornings. Note that some translations say 2300 days which tends to dilute what Daniel was revealed about the 'evening and morning' visions because it is tied to Gen 1 where it says '....and it came to be evening and there came to be morning, the first day and this phrase is repeated for all 6 days of creation.
The vision of the evening and morning for 2300 nights... While the 2300 evenings and mornings vision was fulfilled during the Maccabean revolt and the sanctuary cleansed, however the Alexandrian calendar (Greek) acceptance prevailed when times changed to 'evening to evening' muaedim and Shabbat observance, this misunderstanding of '....there came to be evening and the morning' in Gen 1 with a day beginning from evening and the month beginning with the first crescent moon which the Yahudites accepted under Alexandrian rule prevailed a wide acceptance into Judaism and is even observed today. So it's vital to understand what Gen 1 means when it says... 'There came to be evening and there came to be morning, first day'
Gen 1:3 And Elohim said, “Let light come to be,” and light came to be.
4 And Elohim saw the light, that it was good. And Elohim separated the light from the darkness.
5 And Elohim called the light ‘day’ and the darkness He called ‘night.’ And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, first day.
Alahym started with darkness as Gen 1:2 says And the earth came to be formless and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep..... and Gen 1:3 Alahym said ''Let there be light" and there was light and he separated the light from the darkness and he called the light Day . This shows Alahym began with the Light which he called Day and it preceded the night and not vice versa. Hence the Day which began with the first beam of light ended with the Night unto the next first beam of light... A full 24 hours.. i.e.Morning (when light came to be), evening when it disappeared and morning when it reappeared was first day.
There are those who advocate 'evening to evening' day observance teach that the earth was in darkness which was night, then Alahym said ''Let there be light'' and there was light, and the words 'there came to be evening and there came to be morning, first day' was just a summary of a day from 'evening to evening'. Their idea comes from YashaYahu 45:7
Isa 45:7 forming light and creating darkness, making peace and creating evil. I, יהוה, do all these.’
They say if there was darkness as stated in Gen 1:2 then Alahym started with darkness and then brought the light,
Hebrew: way’hiy-`ereb way’hiy-boqer yom ‘echad (And there was evening and there was morning, one day) they say was just a summary as in Gen 5:23
Gen 5:23 So all the days were (Hebrew: way’hiy kal-y’mey) of Chanok three hundred and sixty-five years.
They say the Hebrew phrase 'way’hiy' is just a summary just as in summarizing Enoch's life. There are two flaws into their claim 1) YashaYahu 45:6 the preceding verse of 7 says.... (here are both the verses:
Isa 45:6 so that they know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is none but Me. I am יהוה, and there is none else,
Isa 45:7 forming light and creating darkness, making peace and creating evil. I, יהוה, do all these.’
...verse 6 says so that they know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is none but me. Yahuah begins with the order of sunrise/light.
The second flaw is that the Gen 1:2 darkness was a perpetual darkness with absence of light, so if Alahym didn't say ''Let there be light'' which is a progression towards 'life' the darkness was perpetual and absent from 'light or life'. Moreover after the summary of the first day 'way’hiy kal-y’mey' the phrase is repeated for another 5 consecutive times, does this meaning every time Alahym reset to creating in darkness and then moving on to light and then back to darkness?
Think about this, does Alahym really want us to go to bed soon after the day has started? No! that does not make any sense. But the day starting at morning twilight/sunrise makes plenty of sense! If the month is determined by the moon and the day is determined by the sun, and even the "sunset to sunset" doctrine teaches that the sun determines the beginning and ending of a day, then why would the sun determine the START of the day by setting/ceasing/resting/being lowered/going down at the start? Doesn't it make much more sense that the sun determines the start of the new day by rising/springing forth/shining new light/casting away darkness? Which makes more sense?
The Jews today only follow a lunar calendar giving no relevance to the sun which Alahym made to rule the day. Both are equally important in time keeping and one cannot precede the other as stated in Gen 1:14 ....let them be for signs and appointed times, and for days and years, there are those who only follow a Solar calendar leaving out the moon and both are incorrect.
Psalms 89: 35 “Once I have sworn by My set-apartness, I do not lie to Dawiḏ:
36 “His seed shall be forever, And his throne as the sun before Me;
37 “Like the moon, it is established forever, And the witness in the heaven is steadfast.” Selah.
The seed of Daud is likened to be like the sun and the moon whose witness in the heaven is steadfast. The sun, moon and stars spiritually point to Yasharal as seen in Rev 12 which says there was a great Sign/aut H226 in the heavens with the Woman clothed with the Sun, moon and crown of twelve stars on her head.
Rev 12:1 And a great sign/aut H226 was seen in the heaven: a woman clad with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
Rev 12:2 And being pregnant, she cried out in labour and in pain to give birth.
The sign of sun turning black and moon turning into blood and stars falling before the great day of Yahuah is evident today as they all fell for the Aut/signs falling into the line of Qayin who had the same aut/H226 mark placed on his forehead. The physical ushers us into the spiritual.... I was in the Ruach in the Day of Yahuah... New Yerushalam doesn't have timekeepers as Yahuah Alahym and the Lamb are the light of it
Rev 1:10 I came to be in the Spirit on the Day of יהוה, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet,
Rev 22:5 And night shall be no more, and they shall have no need of a lamp or the light of the sun, because יהוה Elohim shall give them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.
We are in hope to enter into New Yerushalam looking at Mashiyach to deliver us from the black sun and blood moon sign before the coming of the great day of Yahuah.
Joe 2:31 the sun is turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of יהוה.
But it's important to tie the events of Yasharal and their fall as their fall meant rising for us.. Mashiyach is likened to the Sun of righteousness rising with healing in his wings.
Mal 4:2 “But to you who fear My Name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings. And you shall go out and leap for joy like calves from the stall.
We saw in Psalms 89:35-37 the seed of Daud will be like the sun and the moon and their witness in heaven is steadfast. The seed of Daud is Mashiyach and we in him. We need to go through the veil of his flesh into the ruach to see the fulfilment of the faithful witness Yahuah gave in his appointed times and Shabbats
Heb 10:19 So, brothers, having boldness to enter into the Set-apart Place by the blood of יהושע,
Heb 10:20 by a new and living way which He instituted for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,
Pre-exile Yasharal though unfaithful in many ways followed what was handed to them by Masha through Turah where the spring was the beginning of months just as Yahuah commanded in Exodus 12 which is the vernal equinox which falls in March of each year and the full moon determines the muaedim and the Shabbats. Vernal equinox is when the center of the Sun comes closer to the equator and it happens twice a year once in March and once in September.
Exo 12:2 “This month is the beginning of months for you, it is the first month of the year for you.
Hence we see both the sun and the moon in the correct perspective for time keeping.
Gen 1:16 And Elohim made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, and the stars.
What about the stars? The stars are clearly visible with their constellation's at the vernal equinox in March.
Psalms 81: 3 Blow a shophar in the New Moon/chadash, in the full moon/kasah H3677 on our solemn feast/chag
4 For this is a law a for Yisra’ĕl, And a right-ruling of the Elohim of Yaʽaqoḇ.
Kasah means Full Moon and H3680 it means something that is concealed
Psalms 104:19 He made the moon/yarach H3394 for appointed times/muaedim H4150; The sun knows its going down.
20 You put darkness, and it is night, In it all the beasts of the forest creep.
The moon/yarach was made for the muaedim/appointed times and we read in Psalms 81:3 it is the full moon and not a crescent moon as modern Judaism follows. So it's clear that the sun determines the beginning of the first month during vernal equinox during March each year and rules the day from morning to evening and the full moon rules the night and determines the lunar months in which the muaedim/appointed times or Shabbats fell.
In the Pentateuch the word 'morning' always preceded the word 'evening'
Gen 8:22 as long as the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease.”
Lev 8:35 “And stay at the door of the Tent of Meeting day and night for seven days. And you shall guard the duty of יהוה, and not die, for so I have been commanded.”
Deu 28:66 “And your life shall be hanging in suspense before you, and you shall fear day and night, and not be certain of your life.
Modern Judaism follows the Winter equinox i.e. in September and celebrate the New Year at Rosh Hashanah (Festival of Trumpets) rather than in the month of Abib which is the beginning of months. They observe the crescent moon for the beginning of their months and their night precede the day i.e. their days begin from evening to evening. Thus we see from a historical perspective a lot of change happened, Rome further modified times and seasons as their Ceasar's to stay more days/years in power changed the times and seasons, everything as Daniel prophesied. Today we see each man/woman doing what is right in their own eyes and they would refuse to see Yasharal's historical perspective that in their dispersion all their New moons, Shabbats, Appointed times etc ceased.
Hos 2:11 “And I shall cause all her rejoicing, her festivals, her New Moons, and her Sabbaths, even all her appointed times, to cease,
2 Ch 36:21 in order to fill the word of יהוה by the mouth of Yirmeyahu, until the land had enjoyed her Sabbaths. As long as she lay waste she kept Sabbath, until seventy years were completed.
Psa 137:1 By the rivers of Baḇel, There we sat down and we wept As we remembered Tsiyon.
Psa 137:2 We hung our lyres Upon the willows in the midst of it.
Psa 137:3 For there our captors Asked us for the words of a song, And our plunderers for rejoicing, saying, “Sing to us a song of Tsiyon!”
Psa 137:4 How could we sing the song of יהוה On foreign soil?
People have lost discernment not able to see and understand the sign of the sun turning black and the moon into blood before the great day of Yahuah.
Those who lift their eyes to the hills from where our help comes from (Psalms 121:1) the sun shall not strike them by day nor the moon by night
Psa 121:6 The sun does not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night.
One of the plagues mentioned in Revelation 16 is the sun scorching men to death
Rev 16:8 And the fourth messenger poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given to him to burn men with fire.
Rev 16:9 And men were burned with great heat, and they blasphemed the Name of Elohim who possesses authority over these plagues. And they did not repent, to give Him esteem.
The dabar of Yahuah is spiritual and we must see the spiritual aspect and not a literal sun scorching men to death but those after the aut/signs H226 (occupied in carnal letter)which Yahuah made pointing to the spiritual.
The lights in the night were prophetic of the dabar of Yahuah which shines in a dark place until the day star rises in our heart.
2 Peter 1:19 And we have the prophetic word made more certain, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts,
Our Master calls himself as the bright and morning star
Rev 22:16 “I, יהושע, have sent My messenger to witness to you these matters in the assemblies. I am the Root and the Offspring of Dawiḏ, the Bright and Morning Star.”
He promises to give us the morning star...Rev 2: 28 “And I shall give him the morning star.
1 Thess 5: 4 But you, brothers, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.
5 For you are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
The Day of Yahuah cannot overtake us to those who look at Mashiyach as the faithful witness because we have transitioned from the physical to the spiritual through the veil of his flesh.
But from a historical perspective we can pin point the days, for if you read these Turah portions you will never understand to eradicate confusion that would arise from them unless understood from a correct perspective. Here are a few...
Passover... Yahuah asked Yasharal in Mitsyarim to kill the Pesach lamb on the evening of the 14th day of the first month
Exo 12:3 “Speak to all the congregation of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘On the tenth day of this new moon each one of them is to take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household.
6 ‘And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same new moon. Then all the assembly of the congregation of Yisra’ĕl shall slay it between the evenings.
And Yahuah says... Exo 12: 50 And all the children of Yisra’ĕl did as יהוה commanded Mosheh and Aharon, so they did.
51 And it came to be on that same day that יהוה brought the children of Yisra’ĕl out of the land of Mitsrayim according to their divisions.
It says on the same day (fourteenth day) Yahuah brought the children of Yasharal out of the land of Yasharal. They killed the lamb in the evening of the 14th day and the angel of death came at midnight so going by the the current Jewish calendar post 6 pm shouldn't it be 15th day? and yet Yahuah says on the same day Yahuah brought them out.
Exo 12:42 It is a night of watches unto יהוה for bringing them out of the land of Mitsrayim. This is that night of watches unto יהוה, for all the children of Yisra’ĕl throughout their generations.
This was the night of watches to them throughout their generations
Yahuah instructed them not to keep any portion of the roasted lamb until morning and they had to burn whatever remained of it before the morning came in. Why would Yahuah give such an instruction unless the Pesach day began on the 14th at dawn and ended at dawn ushering the 15th day which is the High Shabbat of the feast of Unleavened bread.
Exo 12:8 ‘And they shall eat the flesh on that night, roasted in fire – with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
Exo 12:9 ‘Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in fire, its head with its legs and its inward parts.
Exo 12:10 ‘And do not leave of it until morning, and what remains of it until morning you are to burn with fire.
Numbers 33: 3 So they departed from Raʽmeses in the first new moon, on the fifteenth day of the first new moon, on the morrow of the Pesach the children of Yisra’ĕl went out with boldness before the eyes of all the Mitsrites,
Numbers 33:3 says they departed on the morrow of the Passover on the 15th day.... Which shows that the Pesach actually ended at dawn with the beginning of the 15th day when the first beam of light came in so both the selfsame day as stated in Exo 12:51 and 15th day of the first new moon in Numbers 33:3 are correct because the transition happened at dawn when they left Egypt. How do we know this?
Exo 12:30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants, and all the Mitsrites. And there was a great cry in Mitsrayim, for there was not a house where there was not a dead one.
Exo 12:31 Then he called for Mosheh and Aharon by night, and said, “Arise, go out from the midst of my people, both you and the children of Yisra’ĕl. And go, serve יהוה as you have said.
Exo 12:32 “Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and go. Then you shall bless me too.”
Scriptures show us Pharaoh and his servants and the Egyptians rose up at night and called for Masha and Aharon by night asking them to leave Egypt.
And the people took their dough before it was LEAVENED
Exo 12:34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, having their kneading bowls bound up in their garments on their shoulders.
Unleavened bread eating began on the evening of the 14th day of the first month until the 21st day of the same month in the evening for on this same day Yahuah brought their divisions out of Egypt but we see Numbers 33:3 says he brought them out on the 15th day of the first month. We will never understand these Turah portions unless we understand them in the right perspective.
Exo 12:17 ‘And you shall guard the Festival of Unleavened Bread, for on this same day I brought your divisions out of the land of Mitsrayim. And you shall guard this day throughout your generations, an everlasting law.
Exo 12:18 ‘In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the month in the evening.
Summarizing the unleavened bread eating began on the 14th evening which was still the 14th and yet the first day of Pesach until the 21st evening of the Unleavened bread. The 15th day of the month of the feast of Unleavened bread would actually usher in at dawn just as Yahuah said that in the selfsame day he brought them out of Egypt and Numbers 33:3 says they came out on the 15th day of the first month because the night was a night of watch for them for all generations unlike other nights when they slept in rest.
The counting of eating Unleavened bread would be from 14th evening to the 21st evening making it 7 days of Unleavened bread eating.
There was a difference of Pesach observance between the Galileans from the northern tribes and from the Yahudites (from Yahudah), the northern tribes observed Pesach like any other feast or Shabbat from 'morning to morning' whereas the southern tribes post exile from Babylon adopted the 'evening to evening' observance. This can be seen from Yahuchanan 18:28 that the southern tribes ( including the Pharisees, Saducees, lawyers, priests etc) had not yet killed their Pesach lamb and hence to avoid defilement did not enter the Praetorium.
John 18:28 Then they led Yahusha from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early in the morning; and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
Yahusha and his disciples who lived in Galilee (part of the northern tribe settlement) had already observed the Pesach the previous night.
Luk 22:7 And the Day of Unleavened Bread came when the Passover had to be slaughtered.
Luk 22:8 And He sent Kĕpha and Yoḥanan, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us to eat.”
Luk 22:9 And they said to Him, “Where do You wish us to prepare?”
Luk 22:10 And He said to them, “See, as you enter into the city, a man shall meet you carrying a jar of water. Follow him into the house he enters.
Luk 22:11 “And you shall say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room where I might eat the Passover with My taught ones?” ’
Luk 22:12 “And he shall show you a large, furnished upper room. Prepare it there.”
Luk 22:13 And going they found it as He had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
This shows that Yahusha was brought out of the Praetorium at the sixth hour but we have Mark recording that he was impaled at the third hour, and Matthew records there was darkness over the whole land from the sixth hour to the ninth hour
Joh 19:14 And it was the Preparation of the Passover week, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Yehuḏim, “See your Sovereign!”
Mar 15:25 And it was the third hour, and they impaled Him.
Mat 27:45 And from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land, until the ninth hour.
Mat 27:46 And about the ninth hour יהושע cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Ěli, Ěli, lemah sheḇaqtani?” that is, “My Ěl, My Ěl, why have You forsaken Me?”
Yahuah records the difference in hours to show John recording the Roman civil time from midnight as Pilate was deciding the fate of the trial...sixth hour from midnight would be 6 am in the morning because John records in 18:28....and it was early in the morning
John 18:27 Kepha then denied again, and immediately a rooster crowed
John 18:28 Then they led Yahusha from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early in the morning; and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
Mark records the third hour from sunrise he was impaled and Matthew and Luke compliment Mark's record because Matt 27:45; Mark 15:33; Luke 23:44 all three texts say there was darkness over the whole land from the sixth hour/12pm to the ninth hour/3pm. Though there were two other calendar's floating 'sunrise to sunrise' and 'evening to evening' the common thing among the two were they had the same measurement of hours in night watches and the morning watches but greatly differed from the start point and the end point of a day. Its not that John was following a Roman calendar, he simply records the time as per the trial hour according to the Roman ruler Pilate. We must not forget all of Yahusha's disciples were at the Pesach the night before while the sunset to sunset observer's had yet to kill their Pesach sacrifice on the evening of Yahusha's death.
John 19:31 Then the Jews, because it was the arab Shabbat (translated as Preparation), so that the bodies would not remain on the stake on the Shabbat (for that Shabbat was a high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
The Abary word 'arab' H6153 means 'evening' and also means 'meddle/mingle/barter/mix'. The same audience of the 'evening to evening' observance in John 18:28 wouldn't enter in the Praetorium so as to not defile themselves but might eat the Passover and here in John 19:31 they request Pilate that their legs might not be broken and their bodies not remain on the stake so that their high Shabbat be not broken. But wouldn't the evening according to their calendar usher in the 15th the feast of Unleavened Bread? And they had not yet eaten their Passover? So what is happening here? According to their calendar they were still on the 14th of Abib which began the previous evening, so at closing the 14th evening they would kill their Pesach lamb which they had to kill the earlier evening and watch the night as Turah states and eat it along with the Unleavened Bread on the 14th itself with the Pesach meal (right until the 21st day of the first month) which would begin at twilight in the evening on that day.
They broke Turah because we saw Yahusha observed the Pesach the previous evening with his disciples and in the morning when he was brought before Pilate at 6 am it was already the feast of Unleavened bread which was a high Shabbat and they didn't realize this and impaled him on the high Shabbat. However unknowingly they fulfilled the exact timing in a way because when Yahusha was dying on the stake the people would have started sacrificing the Pesach Lamb.
In summary of what we have discussed "The chronological reckoning between John's basarah and the synoptics presents a challenge,especially in relation to the time of the Last Supper . While the synoptics portray the disciples and the Adonay at the Last Supper as eating the Passover meal on evening, Abib 14, and Yahusha being impaled next day, John's basarah states that the Jews did not enter into the Praetorium "so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover" (John 18:28). So, the disciples had eaten the Passover on the previous evening, but the Jews had not. In fact, John (19:14) states that Yahusha's trial and impaling were on the day of Preparation for the Passover and not after the eating of the Passover, so that with the trial and crucifixion Mashiyach was actually sacrificed at the same time the Passover lambs were being slain (19:14).
Joh 19:14 And it was the Preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Yehuḏim, “See your Sovereign!” And it was because of the difference among the Jews in the way they reckoned the beginning and ending of days.
The disciples of Yahusha understood the Turah perfectly as taught to them by the Master himself and hence they pin point the eating of the unleavened bread on the 14th of Abib in the evening along with the Passover just as Exodus 12 commands.
Matt 26:17 Now on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Yahusha and asked, Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?
Day of Atonement:
Lev 23: 27 “On the tenth day of this seventh new moon is Yom haKippurim. It shall be a set-apart gathering for you. And you shall afflict your beings, and shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה.
Lev 23:32 ‘It is a Sabbath of rest to you, and you shall afflict your beings. On the ninth day of the new moon at evening, from evening to evening, you observe your Sabbath.
Which is correct ninth day or tenth day? Wouldn't ninth day evening transition into tenth day if all Shabbats and feasts were from evening to evening? Why would Yahuah say 10th day of the seventh month in verse 27 and few verses down in verse 32 he says ninth day at evening if ninth day evening was already the tenth day according to the 'evening to evening' calendar? This shows that the Day of Atonement began on the evening of the 9th day of the seventh month at evening, the 10th day beginning at dawn and the fast ending in the evening of the 10th day (while the actual day would transition from 10th to the 11th at dawn). A complete 24 hour evening to evening high Shabbat. A pure exception which cannot be a rule for other feasts and Shabbats. The reason of such an observation was because it was a night watch just as Pesach was.
Zec 12:10 “And I shall pour on the house of Dawiḏ and on the inhabitants of Yerushalayim a spirit of favour and prayers. And they shall look on Me whom they pierced, and they shall mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son. And they shall be in bitterness over Him as a bitterness over the first-born.
Zec 12:11 “In that day the mourning in Yerushalayim is going to be great, like the mourning at Haḏaḏ Rimmon in the valley of Meḡiddo.
Re 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
This is also the ONLY time this phrase "even unto even" in the entire Bible the closest to it is Unleavened bread as it started from 14th evening to 21st evening. In Yahudi custom most fast days are considered minor fast days lasting from sunrise to sunset and they were permitted to eat breakfast if they ate it before sunrise. With Yahuah asking them to observe the Fast the previous evening was to humble the soul into ruling out any form of eating before sunrise so that they humble their soul's before him. The spiritual significance being seeing the affliction and sacrifice of Yahusha our Mashiyach and humbling our souls before him in looking on him whom we pierced.
Luk 5:33 And they said to Him, “Why do the taught ones of Yoḥanan fast often and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees, but Yours eat and drink?”
Luk 5:34 And He said to them, “Are you able to make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them?
Luk 5:35 “But days shall come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they shall fast in those days.”
We fast looking and hastening the coming of our bridegroom to come to take us to be with him in New Yerushalam. As long as the bridegroom was with them his disciples didn't fast. Hence the fast is spiritual as it is a watch of wailing for the Son whom we pierced.
Psa 19:4 Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them He set up a tent for the sun,
Psa 19:5 And it /sun is like a bridegroom coming out of his room, It rejoices like a strong man to run the path.
Psa 19:6 Its rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end; And naught is hidden from its heat.
The 'signs/aut' H226 were related to the firmament and show us while the physical sun is darkened and strikes those occupied in it's carnal observance, our bridegroom who is like the SUN will rise with healing in his wings on us
Rev 6:12 And I looked when He opened the sixth seal and saw a great earthquake came to be. And the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.
The whore is fleshly Yasharal... Hagar with her children... while she pin points the time of her husband coming i.e. at Full Moon while she herself has gone into whoredoms of a black sun and blood moon calendar. Once these facts are realized it can be understood why the urgent call goes forth in Revelation for Yahuah’s obedient followers to “come out of Babylon.” For all the false calendar systems based upon the sun and/or fraudulent new moons only give birth to erroneous Sabbaths and inaccurate Feast Days. We see many occupied with these today and have even made them go out of the inspired scrolls we have to fit what they believe.
The temple sacrifices were always from morning to evening and the temple was closed to the people at night while only the priests guarded the watches of the continuous incense and the oil and fire in the lampstands in the nights. What's interesting to see is that Exo 30:7 says Aharon shall burn on it sweet incense morning by morning as he trims the lamps he shall burn incense on it. The lamps and the incense were to be continual without a break so what the verse means is Aharon the high priest trims the lamps i.e. checks them/dresses them/amend them. The word 'yatab' means to dress/amend/trim/to be good such as in being functional. The word 'yatab' has the root word 'tub/tab' which means 'good'
Exo 30:5 “And you shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.
Exo 30:6 “And you shall put it before the veil that is before the ark of the Witness, before the lid of atonement that is over the Witness, where I am to meet with you.
Exo 30:7 “And Aharon shall burn on it sweet incense, morning by morning. As he trims/yatab H3190 the lamps, he shall burn incense on it.
Exo 30:8 “And when Aharon lights the lamps between the evenings, he shall burn incense on it – a continual incense before יהוה throughout your generations.
While the evening and night watches for lampstands and incense were maintained, the day was from morning to morning, the only exception being the Day of Atonement which began on a evening and ended on a evening and the Unleavened Bread eating which began on the 14th evening and ended on the 21st evening. The Yahudites normalized and fit all their other feast & Shabbat days to an evening to evening observance.
Manna:
Exo 16:16 “This is the word which יהוה has commanded: ‘Let every man gather it according to each one’s need, an omer for each being, according to the number of beings. Let every man take for those who are in his tent.’ ”
Exo 16:17 And the children of Yisra’ĕl did so and gathered, some more, some less.
Exo 16:18 And they measured it by omers, and he who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little did not have too little. Each one gathered according to his need.
Exo 16:19 And Mosheh said, “Let no one leave any of it until morning.”
Exo 16:20 And they did not listen to Mosheh, so some of them left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Mosheh was wroth with them.
Exo 16:21 And they gathered it every morning, each one according to his need. And when the sun became hot, it melted.
Exo 16:22 And it came to be, on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one. And all the rulers of the congregation came and told Mosheh.
Exo 16:23 And he said to them, “This is what יהוה has said, ‘Tomorrow is a rest, a Sabbath set-apart to יהוה. That which you bake, bake; and that which you cook, cook. And lay up for yourselves all that is left over, to keep it until morning.’ ”
Exo 16:24 And they laid it up till morning, as Mosheh commanded. And it did not stink, and no worm was in it.
Exo 16:25 And Mosheh said, “Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to יהוה, today you do not find it in the field.
Ezekiel 13:10 “Because, yes because they have led My people astray, saying, ‘Peace/Shalum!' when there is no peace/Shalum. And when one is building a wall, see, they are coating it with whitewash!
YermeYahu 6:14 “And they heal the breach of My people slightly, saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ when there is no peace.
15 Were they ashamed when they had done abomination? No! They were not at all ashamed, nor did they know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall. They shall stumble at the time I visit them,” said יהוה.
Mat 24:15 “So when you see the ‘abomination that lays waste,’ spoken of by Dani’ĕl the prophet, set up in the set-apart place” – he who reads, let him understand
Yahusha quoted Daniel's prophecy of Daily being taken away and specifically says ''...he who reads, let him understand''
Dan 11:29 “At the appointed time/muaed he shall return and go toward the south, but it shall not be like the former or the latter.
Dan 11:30 “For ships from Kittim shall come against him, and he shall lose heart, and shall return in rage against the set-apart covenant, and shall act, and shall return and consider those who forsake the set-apart covenant.
Dan 11:31 “And strong ones shall arise from him and profane the set-apart place, the stronghold, and shall take away that which is continual, and set up the abomination that lays waste
Da 12:11 And from the time that the daily shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
At the muaed/appointed time the Greek beast will return..the ships from Kittim (Kittim is Rome H3794) shall come against him but he will return and consider those who forsake the set-apart covenant and the strong ones shall arise from him and profane the set-apart place and take away that which is continual and set up the abomination that lays waste. It's important to note that he returns at muaed/feast of Yahuah. Also we saw the verses which state the power of the qodesh people will be scattered for time/muaed, times/muaedim and khatsay. These are the days we live in. One needs eyes to discern the sun turning black and the moon turning into blood before the great Day of Yahuah while those able to see the aut/signs have entered into the Ruach of the Day of Yahuah as the physical Day transitions into the spiritual which is eternal.
John 20:1 And it came to be on the first of the Shabbats Miriam Magdalene came early to the tomb, while it was still dark, and saw the stone taken away from the tomb.
Many translations translate this verse as Now on the first day of the week....based on the Greek manuscripts but the Abary translation says 'way’hiy b’echad baShabbatot' which is correctly translated as 'And it came to be on the first of the Shabbats.......'
The 'evening to evening' observers present a case stating 'On the first day of the week while it was still dark' shows a refutation to the 'morning to morning' observation as the 'first day of the week' would only begin at sunrise with the first beam of light and before the sunrise it would still be the Shabbat. Firstly they have the translation wrong as 'First day of the week' whereas John is showing the counting of the first of the Shabbats to the 7th Shabbat to Shavuot/Pentecost. Secondly they don't compare with other scriptures as Luke shows us Miriam with other women came at early dawn...when the day was transitioning from a Shabbat (on which Yahusha had already risen as the tomb was empty) to the first day of the week at DAWN....while it was still dark in John 20:1 was dawn/twilight. Let's compare all the 4 basarah's to see this....
Luke 24:1 But on the first of Shabbats, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared, and other women with them.
Mark 16:1 And it came to be/way’hiy when the Shabbat day crossed over/abar, Miriam Magdalene, and Miriam the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, so that they might come and anoint Him.
Mark 16:2 Very early in the morning on the first of the Shabbats, they came to the tomb and the sun had risen.
Mark records the Shabbat day crossed over and the sun had risen.
Matt 28:1 Now on the Unleavened eve /mutsay of the Shabbats, as it began to dawn towards the first in/ba Shabbats, Miriam Magdalene and the other Miriam came to look at the grave.
Matthew records the eve of the Shabbats of the Unleavened bread as it began towards the first in Shabbats.....he too is showing the counting of the first of the weekly Shabbat counting to Shavout/Pentecost. They translated 'ba/beyt' which means 'in' as 'of'
We must realize the 4 basarah's are like the 4 dimensions of the 4 faces of the karub i.e. man, lion, ox & eagle each figurative of the witness of Yahusha ha Mashiyach.
Eze 1:10 And the likeness of their faces: the face of a man, and each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, and each of the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and each of the four had the face of an eagle.
Hence we must reconcile the witness of the 4 basarah's to see the whole picture. The 4 basarah's testify Miriam and the women came at dawn while it was still dark on a Shabbat transition to sunlight and this was the first of the Shabbats unto Shavout and remained there as the sun rose to a new day which was the first day of the week.
John 20:19 So when it was evening on that day, the first of the Shabbats, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Yahusha came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
John 20:20 And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Master.
The Shabbat had already crossed over but John to show the maintaining of the count of the first of the 7's to Shavout tells us it was evening of the count of the first of the Shabbats. What is also notable is that Yahusha is the firstfruits/bakar H1061 and is very closely related to baqar/morning H1242
Bakar H1061: Firstfruits
Baqar H1242: Morning/early/morrow
Both words 'bakar' and 'baqar' have the root word 'bar' which means 'Son'. In 'bakar/firstfruits' the root word 'kar' means 'bowl/hollow/dig'...the hollow/bowl is the picture of the womb from where the Son/Bar springs forth as the firstborn/firstfruits...Daud's offspring.
In 'baqar' the root word 'qar' means to call, the Son/Bar as the sun/quph on the horizon calls and that's what the first beam of light brought in...a hope of Mashiyach as Gen 1:3 is defined by Shaul in 2 Corin 4:6 ... For Elohim, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts for the enlightening of the knowledge of the esteem of Elohim in the face of יהושע Messiah.
The Son who sprang forth from the womb/bakar is on the horizon calling /baqar...He is the bright and morning star, the root and offspring of Daud.
Coming back to the tomb,Miriam and the other women came with the spices and found the tomb empty, she ran and told Kepha and the other disciple whom Yahusha loved
John 20:2 So she ran and came to Simon Kepha and to the other disciple whom Yahusha loved, and said to them, They have taken away the Master out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him.
By that time it must have been the morning with the Shabbat ending and that's why Mark is giving witness the sun had risen but doesn't give the events that happened from dawn to the rising of the sun which John does. The other disciple outran Kepha and they saw the tomb empty. When they had gone back to their homes having believed...
John 20:10 So the disciples went away again to their own homes.
But Miriam stood there weeping and had a first encounter with the risen Mashiyach
John 20:11 But Miriam was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb;
He told her not to touch him for he had not yet ascended to the Father
John 20:15 Yahusha said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing Him to be the gardener, she said to Him, Master, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I shall take Him away.
John 20:16 Yahusha said to her, “Miriam!” She turned and said to Him in Hebrew, Rabboni! (which means, Teacher).
John 20:17 Yahusha said to her, “Touch Me not, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My El and your El.’”
But the same evening told his disciples to touch him
John 20:19 So when it was evening on that day, the first of the Shabbats, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Yahusha came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
John 20:20 And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Master.
Why did he tell Miriam not to touch him early in the morning and that same evening he told his disciples to touch his hands and his side? For this we must understand Turah.
Three days from Pesach was the feast of the firstfruits, the Yasharali had to bring the first-fruits/rashayath of his harvest to the priest and the morrow after the Shabbat he had to waive it and offer the ban/son lamb a year old, a perfect one with it's grain offering and till they offered this they were no to eat bread or roasted grain or fresh grain.
Lev 23:9 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Lev 23:10 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and you shall say to them, ‘When you come into the land which I give you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest to the priest.
Lev 23:11 ‘And he shall wave the sheaf before יהוה, for your acceptance. On the morrow after the Sabbath the priest waves it.
Lev 23:12 ‘And on that day when you wave the sheaf, you shall prepare a male/ban lamb a year old, a perfect one, as a burnt offering to יהוה,
Lev 23:13 and its grain offering: two-tenths of an ĕphah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to יהוה, a sweet fragrance, and its drink offering: one-fourth of a hin of wine.
Lev 23:14 ‘And you do not eat bread or roasted grain or fresh grain until the same day that you have brought an offering to your Elohim – a law forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
So we see spiritually Mashiyach fulfilling this as he is the firstfruits offered on the morrow after the Shabbat, the morning light brought in the morrow after the Shabbat and very early in the morning the firstfruits were not yet offered in the temple but during the course of the day from sunrise to sunset the Yasharali's would offer the firstfruits of their barley harvest and the priest would waive it, that's why he told her not to touch him but the same evening he told the disciples to touch his hands and his feet because during the course of the day the firstfruit wave offering would have been completed with the ban lamb offering and the grain offering. Hence we see Mashiyach fulfilling Turah.
Laws of remaining unclean until the evening:
There were various laws which kept one unclean until the evening, laws like touching the bed of a woman mensurating, man who had an emission, man and his wife who had a sexual intercourse etc. They were to bathe and they would remain unclean until evening.
Lev 15:16 ‘And when a man has an emission of semen, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until evening.
Lev 15:17 ‘And any garment and any leather on which there is semen, shall also be washed with water, and be unclean until evening.
Lev 15:18 ‘And when a woman lies with a man, and there is an emission of semen, they both shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.
Lev 15:19 ‘And when a woman has a discharge, and the discharge from her flesh is blood, she has to be in her separation for seven days. And whoever touches her is unclean until evening.
Lev 15:20 ‘And whatever she lies on during her separation is unclean. And whatever she sits on is unclean.
Lev 15:21 ‘And anyone who touches her bed has to wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.
Lev 15:22 ‘And whoever touches any object that she sat on has to wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.
Lev 15:23 ‘And if it is on the bed or on any object on which she sits, when he touches it, he is unclean until evening.
The 'evening to evening' observers would quickly state the day resets at 'evening' so that's why they were clean after the evening and hence the 'morning to morning observance is wrong. For if the morning to morning observance would be correct then they should be clean at dawn and not the evening.
What they fail to see is if they would be unclean until the dawn/twilight they wouldn't get time to prepare for the Shabbat and other feast days which start in the morning. Their preparation for the Shabbat and other high days would begin at night, for on the Shabbat or high days they were not to cook, gather, or do any work. The evening to morning would be their PREPARATION TIME.
The same can be seen for the water of purification for the people of Yasharal, the priest offering the heifer, the one burning the burnt offering and the one gathering the ashes of the heifer would wash themselves and remain unclean until the evening. This doesn't mean that the day reset at evening but gave enough time for even the priests to prepare to present themselves attendance to the altar, feasts, Shabbats and the service of the people.
Num 19:1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon, saying,
Num 19:2 “This is a law of the Torah which יהוה has commanded, saying, ‘Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, that they bring you a red heifer, a perfect one, in which there is no blemish and on which a yoke has never come.
Num 19:3 ‘And you shall give it to Elʽazar the priest, and he shall bring it outside the camp, and shall slaughter it before him.
Num 19:4 ‘And Elʽazar the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and sprinkle some of its blood seven times toward the front of the Tent of Meeting.
Num 19:5 ‘And the heifer shall be burned before his eyes – he burns its hide, and its flesh, and its blood, and its dung.
Num 19:6 ‘And the priest shall take cedar wood and hyssop and scarlet, and throw them into the midst of the fire burning the heifer.
Num 19:7 ‘The priest shall then wash his garments, and shall bathe his body in water, and afterward come into the camp, but the priest is unclean until evening.
Num 19:8 ‘And he who is burning it washes his garments in water, and shall bathe his body in water, and is unclean until evening.
Num 19:9 ‘And a clean man shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and shall place them outside the camp in a clean place. And they shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl for the water for uncleanness, it is for cleansing from sin.
Num 19:10 ‘And he who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his garments, and is unclean until evening. And it shall be a law forever to the children of Yisra’ĕl and to the stranger who sojourns in their midst.
Peace offerings:
Lev 7:15 ‘As for the flesh of the slaughtering of his peace offering for thanksgiving, it is eaten the same day it is offered, he does not leave any of it until morning.
Lev 7:16 ‘And if the offering he brings is a vow or a voluntary offering, it is eaten the same day that he brings his slaughtering, and what is left of it is eaten the next day,
Lev 7:17 but whatever is left of the flesh of the slaughtering on the third day is burned with fire.
If the offering is eaten the same day and none of it is to be left until morning, then the morning is NOT the same day but the next day! Again morning here is baqar H1242 is means daybreak or break of the day or morrow! But if the sacrifice of his offering be a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice: and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten"
Other scriptures showing the new day began at 'sunrise' and not 'sunset':
Mar 4:35 And on the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us pass over to the other side.”
At the SAME DAY when even was come! If the day starts at evening, it would say it's a New day, NOT the same day!
Gen 19:33 So they made their father drink wine that night. And the first-born went in and lay with her father, and he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she arose.
34 And it came to be on the next day that the first-born said to the younger, “See, I lay with my father last night. Let us make him drink wine tonight as well, and you go in and lie with him, so that we keep the seed of our father.”
The first night the daughters of Lot made him drink wine is separated from the day... Read verse 34...and it came to be the next day.... If evening to evening was correct then the preceding night would be the same day.
Judges 19: 9 And the man arose to go, he and his concubine and his servant. But his father-in-law, the young woman’s father, said to him, “See, the day is now drawing toward evening. Please spend the night. See, the day is coming to an end. Stay here, and let your heart be glad. And you shall rise early tomorrow for your journey, and you shall go to your tent.”
The day is coming to an end in the evening... Pls spend the night... And you shall Rise early Tomorrow (morning brings the morrow).
1Samuel 19:11 And Sha’ul sent messengers to Dawiḏ’s house to watch him and to put him to death in the morning. And Miḵal, Dawiḏ’s wife, informed him, saying, “If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you are put to death.”
Daud's wife Mikal warned Daud of Shaul's intention to put him to death in the morning which was TOMORROW and asked him to save his life TONIGHT. Tonight is separated from the morning (the next day) when Shaul wanted to put Daud to death.
Neh 13:19 And it came to be, at the gates of Yerushalayim, as it began to be dark/tsalal H6751 before the Sabbath, that I commanded the gates to be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened till after the Sabbath. And I stationed some of my servants at the gates, so that no burdens would be brought in on the Sabbath day.
'Evening to evening' observers use Neh 13:19 as a proof text supporting their view without reading the context.
Neh 13:15 In those days I saw in Yehuḏah those treading wine presses on the Sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and loading donkeys with wine, grapes, and figs, and all kinds of burdens, which they brought into Yerushalayim on the Sabbath day. So I warned them on the day they sold food.
Neh 13:16 And men of Tsor dwelt there, bringing in fish and all kinds of goods, and sold them on the Sabbath to the children of Yehuḏah, and in Yerushalayim.
The context was that Nehemiah saw the traders from Tsor brought in fish and all kings of goods and sold them on the Shabbat to the children of Yahudah and in Yerushalam. Nehemiah contends with them as profaning the Shabbat and takes precautionary measure to close the gate of Yerushalam the evening before the Shabbat to prevent these merchants entering into the city at night to sell to them.
Neh 13:19 And it came to be, at the gates of Yerushalayim, as it began to be dark before the Sabbath, that I commanded the gates to be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened till after the Sabbath. And I stationed some of my servants at the gates, so that no burdens would be brought in on the Sabbath day.
Neh 13:20 And the merchants and sellers of all kinds of wares spent the night outside Yerushalayim once or twice,
Neh 13:21 and I warned them, and said to them, “Why do you spend the night around the wall? If you do so again, I lay hands on you!” From that time on they came no more on the Sabbath.
We have Nehemiah testifying that once he closed the gates of Yerushalam when it was getting dark before the Shabbat, the merchants and sellers of all kinds of wares spent the night outside Yerushalam once or twice with a hope to enter in to sell as other times on Shabbat day until Nehemiah warned them (verse 21) and from that time on they came no more on the Shabbat.
Act 4:3 And they arrested them (Kepha and Yahuchanan), and put them in jail until the next day, for it was already evening.
If it was already evening, the evening should bring in the next day, isn't it? :)
1Sa 11:10 So the men of Yaḇĕsh said, “Tomorrow we come out to you, and you shall do to us whatever seems good to you.”
1Sa 11:11 And it came to be, on the next day, that Sha’ul put the people in three companies. And they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch and smote Ammon until the heat of the day. And it came to be that those left were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
Tomorrow is associate with the morning watch
There is so much evidence from scriptures right from Genesis 1 showing the morning brought in a new day with the first beam of light. The sun marks the beginning of each new year at the vernal equinox and rules the day morning to sunset, the full moon marks the appointed times in a month and rules the night with the stars as a light shining in a dark place until the day star rises in the heart. The luminaries were made as a shadow pointing out to the the true LIGHT Mashiyach and his dabar as a light in a dark path. Those in Mashiyach have transitioned from the physical to the spiritual seeing the luminaries darkened and finding their light in Yahuah alone
Isa 60:19 “No longer is the sun your light by day, nor does the moon give light to you for brightness, but יהוה shall be to you an everlasting light, and your Elohim your comeliness.
Isa 60:20 “No longer does your sun go down, nor your moon withdraw itself, for יהוה shall be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended.
Isa 60:21 “And your people, all of them righteous, shall inherit the earth forever – a branch of My planting, a work of My hands, to be adorned.
Mat 24:29 “And immediately after the distress of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give its light, and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
Mat 24:30 “And then the sign of the Son of Aḏam shall appear in the heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, and they shall see the Son of Aḏam coming on the clouds of the heaven with power and much esteem.
Rev 8:12 And the fourth messenger sounded, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. And a third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.
We see so much of apostasy as people go outside the inspired scrolls to books of Enoch, Jubilees, Temple scrolls etc and calculate days in their calendar proving what they are following is true and each one is doing what is right in their own eyes. Yahuah has sent them a strong delusion to believe the lie. They are not able to see the sign of the sun turning black which Yahuah brought about when Yahusha hung on the stake from the sixth hour to the ninth hour, a complete solar eclipse never experienced before to show the apostasy that prevailed during Yahusha's time and him be impaled on the Unleavened bread while they thought their evening would bring in the feast of Unleavened bread which they would eat with the Pesach lamb. Yahuah also fulfilled Turah by bringing the morning and evening sacrifices offered daily from sunrise to sunset in the temple making them One in Mashiyach and as prophesied at evening time there was LIGHT, the darkness couldn't comprehend/suppress the light. The evening came with a light also shows the fulfillment of the light of the candlestick which had to be maintained even in the night.
Luke 23:44 It was now about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour,
Zec 14:6 And in that day it shall be: there is no light, it is dark.
Zec 14:7 And it shall be one day which is known to יהוה, neither day nor night, but at evening time there shall be light.
Moreover Yahuah also fulfilled by bringing the feast of Pesach (the first feast) and the feast of Tabernacles (last feast) together when Yahusha before undergoing the trial entered Yerushalam just before Pesach and the people brought branches of palm trees and laid them on the ground and cried 'Baruk haba bashem Yahuah'. Yahuah shows us spiritually a transition from the physical to the spiritual making everything One in Mashiyach.
Col 2:16 Let no one therefore judge you in food, or drink, or in respect of a festival or Rashey Chadashim (new months) or Shabbats
Col 2:17 which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of the Mashiyach.
We are called to go beyond the veil of Yahusha's flesh to enter into the most set apart place and all feasts, Shabbats, New months, food and drinks stood as shadows of things to come.
Heb 10:19 So, brothers, having boldness to enter into the Set-apart Place by the blood of יהושע,
Heb 10:20 by a new and living way which He instituted for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,
Finally let's revisit Proverbs 7:19 “For my husband is not at home; He has gone on a long journey;
Pro 7:20 “He took a bundle/tsrar H6872 of silver/kasap H3701 with him; He comes home on the day of the full moon/kasah H3677.”
The root word 'kas' is in 'kasap/silver' as well as in 'kasah/full moon', the word 'kas' means 'cup/cover/seat' .
'kasah' H3677 means 'full moon' and H3678 'kasah' means 'throne'
'kasap' H3701 means 'silver' and H3700 same word means 'desire/longing'
She says her husband is gone on a long journey and has taken a bundle of a covering/kas, desire/kasap, he will return on the day of the throne or rule/kasah. The full moon stood as sign of the feast day of Yahuah (Psalms 81:3) as a light shining in a dark place (2 Peter 1:19) a shadow pointing to the Day star i.e. Mashiyach who would bring in the EVERLASTING LIGHT.
The Jews observe the crescent moon also called the silver moon for all their feasts, it is also a sign to them that he has taken all their silver moons in a bundle and will return to judge them at the full moon for their harlotry and the full moon/kasah also means 'Throne/Taking seat'
Gen 1:14 And Elohim said, “Let lights come to be in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and appointed times, and for days and years,
15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth.” And it came to be so.
16 And Elohim made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, and the stars.
17 And Elohim set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And Elohim saw that it was good.
19 And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, the fourth day.
Gen 1:14 says Aluahym made these lights to be for signs and appointed times, and for days and years.
There are calendars only following the path of the sun and leaving out the moon, and there are calendars only following the moon leaving the path of the sun, it was prophesied by Daniel of the beast who would try to change times and laws of the Most high and the qodesh ones would be given to his hand for time/muaed, times/muaedim and khatsay
Daniel 7:25 and it speaks words against the Most High, and it wears out the set-apart ones of the Most High, and it intends to change appointed times b and law, and they are given into its hand for a time/muaed and times/muaedim and half a time/khatsay.
There may be some who may argue that the chapter 7 of Daniel falls into the Aramaic script for chapter 1 and 8-12 were written in Hebrew but chapters 2-7 of Daniel were written in Aramaic so the word for time/s in Chapter 7 is 'iddan' and so it doesn't speak about Yahuah's muaedim. Hold on folks I don't want to get into which part was written in Hebrew and which one was written in Aramaic but with your very argument that chapters 1,8-12 were written in Hebrew then you need to see Chapter 12
Dan 12:7 And I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, and he held up his right hand and his left hand to the heavens, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it would be for a time/muaed H4150, times/muaedim H4150, and half a time/khatsay H2677. And when they have ended scattering the power of the set-apart people, then all these shall be completed.
So you see the Hebrew clearly says the power of the set-apart people will be scattered for muaed, muaedim and khatsay and hence it is related to muaedim/appointed times or feasts of Yahuah.
The fourth and diverse beast of the seven was Rome. The Caezars to stay in power for more time changed the times to usher in apostasy, Rome further pushed into main stream Christianity with their Julian and then the recent Gregorian calendar which observes a day from midnight to midnight and the whole world accepted this form of time keeping.
In Daniel 8, Daniel speaks of the vision of the Evening and the morning...
Daniel 8: 21 “And the male goat is the sovereign of Greece, and the large horn between its eyes is the first sovereign.
22 “And that it was broken and four stood up in its place: are four rulerships arising out of that nation, but not in its power.
23 “And in the latter time of their rule, when the transgressors have filled up their measure, a sovereign, fierce of face and skilled at intrigues, shall stand up.
24 “And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power, and he shall destroy incredibly, and shall prosper and thrive, and destroy mighty men, and the set-apart people.
25 “And through his skill he shall make deceit prosper in his hand, and hold himself to be great in his heart, and destroy many who are at ease, and even stand against the Prince of princes – yet without hand he shall be broken.
26 “And what was said in the vision of the evening and morning is truth. And hide the vision, for it is after many days.”
Dan 8:14 He said to me, For two thousand, three hundred evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary shall be properly restored.
Daniel was told to hide the vision of evening and mornings for it is after many days (verse 26) and the vision was to be for 2,300 evening and mornings. Note that some translations say 2300 days which tends to dilute what Daniel was revealed about the 'evening and morning' visions because it is tied to Gen 1 where it says '....and it came to be evening and there came to be morning, the first day and this phrase is repeated for all 6 days of creation.
The vision of the evening and morning for 2300 nights... While the 2300 evenings and mornings vision was fulfilled during the Maccabean revolt and the sanctuary cleansed, however the Alexandrian calendar (Greek) acceptance prevailed when times changed to 'evening to evening' muaedim and Shabbat observance, this misunderstanding of '....there came to be evening and the morning' in Gen 1 with a day beginning from evening and the month beginning with the first crescent moon which the Yahudites accepted under Alexandrian rule prevailed a wide acceptance into Judaism and is even observed today. So it's vital to understand what Gen 1 means when it says... 'There came to be evening and there came to be morning, first day'
Gen 1:3 And Elohim said, “Let light come to be,” and light came to be.
4 And Elohim saw the light, that it was good. And Elohim separated the light from the darkness.
5 And Elohim called the light ‘day’ and the darkness He called ‘night.’ And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, first day.
Alahym started with darkness as Gen 1:2 says And the earth came to be formless and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep..... and Gen 1:3 Alahym said ''Let there be light" and there was light and he separated the light from the darkness and he called the light Day . This shows Alahym began with the Light which he called Day and it preceded the night and not vice versa. Hence the Day which began with the first beam of light ended with the Night unto the next first beam of light... A full 24 hours.. i.e.Morning (when light came to be), evening when it disappeared and morning when it reappeared was first day.
There are those who advocate 'evening to evening' day observance teach that the earth was in darkness which was night, then Alahym said ''Let there be light'' and there was light, and the words 'there came to be evening and there came to be morning, first day' was just a summary of a day from 'evening to evening'. Their idea comes from YashaYahu 45:7
Isa 45:7 forming light and creating darkness, making peace and creating evil. I, יהוה, do all these.’
They say if there was darkness as stated in Gen 1:2 then Alahym started with darkness and then brought the light,
Hebrew: way’hiy-`ereb way’hiy-boqer yom ‘echad (And there was evening and there was morning, one day) they say was just a summary as in Gen 5:23
Gen 5:23 So all the days were (Hebrew: way’hiy kal-y’mey) of Chanok three hundred and sixty-five years.
They say the Hebrew phrase 'way’hiy' is just a summary just as in summarizing Enoch's life. There are two flaws into their claim 1) YashaYahu 45:6 the preceding verse of 7 says.... (here are both the verses:
Isa 45:6 so that they know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is none but Me. I am יהוה, and there is none else,
Isa 45:7 forming light and creating darkness, making peace and creating evil. I, יהוה, do all these.’
...verse 6 says so that they know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is none but me. Yahuah begins with the order of sunrise/light.
The second flaw is that the Gen 1:2 darkness was a perpetual darkness with absence of light, so if Alahym didn't say ''Let there be light'' which is a progression towards 'life' the darkness was perpetual and absent from 'light or life'. Moreover after the summary of the first day 'way’hiy kal-y’mey' the phrase is repeated for another 5 consecutive times, does this meaning every time Alahym reset to creating in darkness and then moving on to light and then back to darkness?
Think about this, does Alahym really want us to go to bed soon after the day has started? No! that does not make any sense. But the day starting at morning twilight/sunrise makes plenty of sense! If the month is determined by the moon and the day is determined by the sun, and even the "sunset to sunset" doctrine teaches that the sun determines the beginning and ending of a day, then why would the sun determine the START of the day by setting/ceasing/resting/being lowered/going down at the start? Doesn't it make much more sense that the sun determines the start of the new day by rising/springing forth/shining new light/casting away darkness? Which makes more sense?
The Jews today only follow a lunar calendar giving no relevance to the sun which Alahym made to rule the day. Both are equally important in time keeping and one cannot precede the other as stated in Gen 1:14 ....let them be for signs and appointed times, and for days and years, there are those who only follow a Solar calendar leaving out the moon and both are incorrect.
Psalms 89: 35 “Once I have sworn by My set-apartness, I do not lie to Dawiḏ:
36 “His seed shall be forever, And his throne as the sun before Me;
37 “Like the moon, it is established forever, And the witness in the heaven is steadfast.” Selah.
The seed of Daud is likened to be like the sun and the moon whose witness in the heaven is steadfast. The sun, moon and stars spiritually point to Yasharal as seen in Rev 12 which says there was a great Sign/aut H226 in the heavens with the Woman clothed with the Sun, moon and crown of twelve stars on her head.
Rev 12:1 And a great sign/aut H226 was seen in the heaven: a woman clad with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
Rev 12:2 And being pregnant, she cried out in labour and in pain to give birth.
The sign of sun turning black and moon turning into blood and stars falling before the great day of Yahuah is evident today as they all fell for the Aut/signs falling into the line of Qayin who had the same aut/H226 mark placed on his forehead. The physical ushers us into the spiritual.... I was in the Ruach in the Day of Yahuah... New Yerushalam doesn't have timekeepers as Yahuah Alahym and the Lamb are the light of it
Rev 1:10 I came to be in the Spirit on the Day of יהוה, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet,
Rev 22:5 And night shall be no more, and they shall have no need of a lamp or the light of the sun, because יהוה Elohim shall give them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.
We are in hope to enter into New Yerushalam looking at Mashiyach to deliver us from the black sun and blood moon sign before the coming of the great day of Yahuah.
Joe 2:31 the sun is turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of יהוה.
But it's important to tie the events of Yasharal and their fall as their fall meant rising for us.. Mashiyach is likened to the Sun of righteousness rising with healing in his wings.
Mal 4:2 “But to you who fear My Name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings. And you shall go out and leap for joy like calves from the stall.
We saw in Psalms 89:35-37 the seed of Daud will be like the sun and the moon and their witness in heaven is steadfast. The seed of Daud is Mashiyach and we in him. We need to go through the veil of his flesh into the ruach to see the fulfilment of the faithful witness Yahuah gave in his appointed times and Shabbats
Heb 10:19 So, brothers, having boldness to enter into the Set-apart Place by the blood of יהושע,
Heb 10:20 by a new and living way which He instituted for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,
Pre-exile Yasharal though unfaithful in many ways followed what was handed to them by Masha through Turah where the spring was the beginning of months just as Yahuah commanded in Exodus 12 which is the vernal equinox which falls in March of each year and the full moon determines the muaedim and the Shabbats. Vernal equinox is when the center of the Sun comes closer to the equator and it happens twice a year once in March and once in September.
Exo 12:2 “This month is the beginning of months for you, it is the first month of the year for you.
Hence we see both the sun and the moon in the correct perspective for time keeping.
Gen 1:16 And Elohim made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, and the stars.
What about the stars? The stars are clearly visible with their constellation's at the vernal equinox in March.
Psalms 81: 3 Blow a shophar in the New Moon/chadash, in the full moon/kasah H3677 on our solemn feast/chag
4 For this is a law a for Yisra’ĕl, And a right-ruling of the Elohim of Yaʽaqoḇ.
Kasah means Full Moon and H3680 it means something that is concealed
Psalms 104:19 He made the moon/yarach H3394 for appointed times/muaedim H4150; The sun knows its going down.
20 You put darkness, and it is night, In it all the beasts of the forest creep.
The moon/yarach was made for the muaedim/appointed times and we read in Psalms 81:3 it is the full moon and not a crescent moon as modern Judaism follows. So it's clear that the sun determines the beginning of the first month during vernal equinox during March each year and rules the day from morning to evening and the full moon rules the night and determines the lunar months in which the muaedim/appointed times or Shabbats fell.
In the Pentateuch the word 'morning' always preceded the word 'evening'
Gen 8:22 as long as the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease.”
Lev 8:35 “And stay at the door of the Tent of Meeting day and night for seven days. And you shall guard the duty of יהוה, and not die, for so I have been commanded.”
Deu 28:66 “And your life shall be hanging in suspense before you, and you shall fear day and night, and not be certain of your life.
Modern Judaism follows the Winter equinox i.e. in September and celebrate the New Year at Rosh Hashanah (Festival of Trumpets) rather than in the month of Abib which is the beginning of months. They observe the crescent moon for the beginning of their months and their night precede the day i.e. their days begin from evening to evening. Thus we see from a historical perspective a lot of change happened, Rome further modified times and seasons as their Ceasar's to stay more days/years in power changed the times and seasons, everything as Daniel prophesied. Today we see each man/woman doing what is right in their own eyes and they would refuse to see Yasharal's historical perspective that in their dispersion all their New moons, Shabbats, Appointed times etc ceased.
Hos 2:11 “And I shall cause all her rejoicing, her festivals, her New Moons, and her Sabbaths, even all her appointed times, to cease,
2 Ch 36:21 in order to fill the word of יהוה by the mouth of Yirmeyahu, until the land had enjoyed her Sabbaths. As long as she lay waste she kept Sabbath, until seventy years were completed.
Psa 137:1 By the rivers of Baḇel, There we sat down and we wept As we remembered Tsiyon.
Psa 137:2 We hung our lyres Upon the willows in the midst of it.
Psa 137:3 For there our captors Asked us for the words of a song, And our plunderers for rejoicing, saying, “Sing to us a song of Tsiyon!”
Psa 137:4 How could we sing the song of יהוה On foreign soil?
People have lost discernment not able to see and understand the sign of the sun turning black and the moon into blood before the great day of Yahuah.
Those who lift their eyes to the hills from where our help comes from (Psalms 121:1) the sun shall not strike them by day nor the moon by night
Psa 121:6 The sun does not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night.
One of the plagues mentioned in Revelation 16 is the sun scorching men to death
Rev 16:8 And the fourth messenger poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given to him to burn men with fire.
Rev 16:9 And men were burned with great heat, and they blasphemed the Name of Elohim who possesses authority over these plagues. And they did not repent, to give Him esteem.
The dabar of Yahuah is spiritual and we must see the spiritual aspect and not a literal sun scorching men to death but those after the aut/signs H226 (occupied in carnal letter)which Yahuah made pointing to the spiritual.
The lights in the night were prophetic of the dabar of Yahuah which shines in a dark place until the day star rises in our heart.
2 Peter 1:19 And we have the prophetic word made more certain, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts,
Our Master calls himself as the bright and morning star
Rev 22:16 “I, יהושע, have sent My messenger to witness to you these matters in the assemblies. I am the Root and the Offspring of Dawiḏ, the Bright and Morning Star.”
He promises to give us the morning star...Rev 2: 28 “And I shall give him the morning star.
1 Thess 5: 4 But you, brothers, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.
5 For you are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
The Day of Yahuah cannot overtake us to those who look at Mashiyach as the faithful witness because we have transitioned from the physical to the spiritual through the veil of his flesh.
But from a historical perspective we can pin point the days, for if you read these Turah portions you will never understand to eradicate confusion that would arise from them unless understood from a correct perspective. Here are a few...
Passover... Yahuah asked Yasharal in Mitsyarim to kill the Pesach lamb on the evening of the 14th day of the first month
Exo 12:3 “Speak to all the congregation of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘On the tenth day of this new moon each one of them is to take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household.
6 ‘And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same new moon. Then all the assembly of the congregation of Yisra’ĕl shall slay it between the evenings.
And Yahuah says... Exo 12: 50 And all the children of Yisra’ĕl did as יהוה commanded Mosheh and Aharon, so they did.
51 And it came to be on that same day that יהוה brought the children of Yisra’ĕl out of the land of Mitsrayim according to their divisions.
It says on the same day (fourteenth day) Yahuah brought the children of Yasharal out of the land of Yasharal. They killed the lamb in the evening of the 14th day and the angel of death came at midnight so going by the the current Jewish calendar post 6 pm shouldn't it be 15th day? and yet Yahuah says on the same day Yahuah brought them out.
Exo 12:42 It is a night of watches unto יהוה for bringing them out of the land of Mitsrayim. This is that night of watches unto יהוה, for all the children of Yisra’ĕl throughout their generations.
This was the night of watches to them throughout their generations
Yahuah instructed them not to keep any portion of the roasted lamb until morning and they had to burn whatever remained of it before the morning came in. Why would Yahuah give such an instruction unless the Pesach day began on the 14th at dawn and ended at dawn ushering the 15th day which is the High Shabbat of the feast of Unleavened bread.
Exo 12:8 ‘And they shall eat the flesh on that night, roasted in fire – with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
Exo 12:9 ‘Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in fire, its head with its legs and its inward parts.
Exo 12:10 ‘And do not leave of it until morning, and what remains of it until morning you are to burn with fire.
Numbers 33: 3 So they departed from Raʽmeses in the first new moon, on the fifteenth day of the first new moon, on the morrow of the Pesach the children of Yisra’ĕl went out with boldness before the eyes of all the Mitsrites,
Numbers 33:3 says they departed on the morrow of the Passover on the 15th day.... Which shows that the Pesach actually ended at dawn with the beginning of the 15th day when the first beam of light came in so both the selfsame day as stated in Exo 12:51 and 15th day of the first new moon in Numbers 33:3 are correct because the transition happened at dawn when they left Egypt. How do we know this?
Exo 12:30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants, and all the Mitsrites. And there was a great cry in Mitsrayim, for there was not a house where there was not a dead one.
Exo 12:31 Then he called for Mosheh and Aharon by night, and said, “Arise, go out from the midst of my people, both you and the children of Yisra’ĕl. And go, serve יהוה as you have said.
Exo 12:32 “Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and go. Then you shall bless me too.”
Scriptures show us Pharaoh and his servants and the Egyptians rose up at night and called for Masha and Aharon by night asking them to leave Egypt.
And the people took their dough before it was LEAVENED
Exo 12:34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, having their kneading bowls bound up in their garments on their shoulders.
Unleavened bread eating began on the evening of the 14th day of the first month until the 21st day of the same month in the evening for on this same day Yahuah brought their divisions out of Egypt but we see Numbers 33:3 says he brought them out on the 15th day of the first month. We will never understand these Turah portions unless we understand them in the right perspective.
Exo 12:17 ‘And you shall guard the Festival of Unleavened Bread, for on this same day I brought your divisions out of the land of Mitsrayim. And you shall guard this day throughout your generations, an everlasting law.
Exo 12:18 ‘In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the month in the evening.
Summarizing the unleavened bread eating began on the 14th evening which was still the 14th and yet the first day of Pesach until the 21st evening of the Unleavened bread. The 15th day of the month of the feast of Unleavened bread would actually usher in at dawn just as Yahuah said that in the selfsame day he brought them out of Egypt and Numbers 33:3 says they came out on the 15th day of the first month because the night was a night of watch for them for all generations unlike other nights when they slept in rest.
The counting of eating Unleavened bread would be from 14th evening to the 21st evening making it 7 days of Unleavened bread eating.
There was a difference of Pesach observance between the Galileans from the northern tribes and from the Yahudites (from Yahudah), the northern tribes observed Pesach like any other feast or Shabbat from 'morning to morning' whereas the southern tribes post exile from Babylon adopted the 'evening to evening' observance. This can be seen from Yahuchanan 18:28 that the southern tribes ( including the Pharisees, Saducees, lawyers, priests etc) had not yet killed their Pesach lamb and hence to avoid defilement did not enter the Praetorium.
John 18:28 Then they led Yahusha from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early in the morning; and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
Yahusha and his disciples who lived in Galilee (part of the northern tribe settlement) had already observed the Pesach the previous night.
Luk 22:7 And the Day of Unleavened Bread came when the Passover had to be slaughtered.
Luk 22:8 And He sent Kĕpha and Yoḥanan, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us to eat.”
Luk 22:9 And they said to Him, “Where do You wish us to prepare?”
Luk 22:10 And He said to them, “See, as you enter into the city, a man shall meet you carrying a jar of water. Follow him into the house he enters.
Luk 22:11 “And you shall say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room where I might eat the Passover with My taught ones?” ’
Luk 22:12 “And he shall show you a large, furnished upper room. Prepare it there.”
Luk 22:13 And going they found it as He had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
This shows that Yahusha was brought out of the Praetorium at the sixth hour but we have Mark recording that he was impaled at the third hour, and Matthew records there was darkness over the whole land from the sixth hour to the ninth hour
Joh 19:14 And it was the Preparation of the Passover week, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Yehuḏim, “See your Sovereign!”
Mar 15:25 And it was the third hour, and they impaled Him.
Mat 27:45 And from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land, until the ninth hour.
Mat 27:46 And about the ninth hour יהושע cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Ěli, Ěli, lemah sheḇaqtani?” that is, “My Ěl, My Ěl, why have You forsaken Me?”
Yahuah records the difference in hours to show John recording the Roman civil time from midnight as Pilate was deciding the fate of the trial...sixth hour from midnight would be 6 am in the morning because John records in 18:28....and it was early in the morning
John 18:27 Kepha then denied again, and immediately a rooster crowed
John 18:28 Then they led Yahusha from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early in the morning; and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
Mark records the third hour from sunrise he was impaled and Matthew and Luke compliment Mark's record because Matt 27:45; Mark 15:33; Luke 23:44 all three texts say there was darkness over the whole land from the sixth hour/12pm to the ninth hour/3pm. Though there were two other calendar's floating 'sunrise to sunrise' and 'evening to evening' the common thing among the two were they had the same measurement of hours in night watches and the morning watches but greatly differed from the start point and the end point of a day. Its not that John was following a Roman calendar, he simply records the time as per the trial hour according to the Roman ruler Pilate. We must not forget all of Yahusha's disciples were at the Pesach the night before while the sunset to sunset observer's had yet to kill their Pesach sacrifice on the evening of Yahusha's death.
John 19:31 Then the Jews, because it was the arab Shabbat (translated as Preparation), so that the bodies would not remain on the stake on the Shabbat (for that Shabbat was a high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
The Abary word 'arab' H6153 means 'evening' and also means 'meddle/mingle/barter/mix'. The same audience of the 'evening to evening' observance in John 18:28 wouldn't enter in the Praetorium so as to not defile themselves but might eat the Passover and here in John 19:31 they request Pilate that their legs might not be broken and their bodies not remain on the stake so that their high Shabbat be not broken. But wouldn't the evening according to their calendar usher in the 15th the feast of Unleavened Bread? And they had not yet eaten their Passover? So what is happening here? According to their calendar they were still on the 14th of Abib which began the previous evening, so at closing the 14th evening they would kill their Pesach lamb which they had to kill the earlier evening and watch the night as Turah states and eat it along with the Unleavened Bread on the 14th itself with the Pesach meal (right until the 21st day of the first month) which would begin at twilight in the evening on that day.
They broke Turah because we saw Yahusha observed the Pesach the previous evening with his disciples and in the morning when he was brought before Pilate at 6 am it was already the feast of Unleavened bread which was a high Shabbat and they didn't realize this and impaled him on the high Shabbat. However unknowingly they fulfilled the exact timing in a way because when Yahusha was dying on the stake the people would have started sacrificing the Pesach Lamb.
In summary of what we have discussed "The chronological reckoning between John's basarah and the synoptics presents a challenge,especially in relation to the time of the Last Supper . While the synoptics portray the disciples and the Adonay at the Last Supper as eating the Passover meal on evening, Abib 14, and Yahusha being impaled next day, John's basarah states that the Jews did not enter into the Praetorium "so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover" (John 18:28). So, the disciples had eaten the Passover on the previous evening, but the Jews had not. In fact, John (19:14) states that Yahusha's trial and impaling were on the day of Preparation for the Passover and not after the eating of the Passover, so that with the trial and crucifixion Mashiyach was actually sacrificed at the same time the Passover lambs were being slain (19:14).
Joh 19:14 And it was the Preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Yehuḏim, “See your Sovereign!” And it was because of the difference among the Jews in the way they reckoned the beginning and ending of days.
The disciples of Yahusha understood the Turah perfectly as taught to them by the Master himself and hence they pin point the eating of the unleavened bread on the 14th of Abib in the evening along with the Passover just as Exodus 12 commands.
Matt 26:17 Now on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Yahusha and asked, Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?
Day of Atonement:
Lev 23: 27 “On the tenth day of this seventh new moon is Yom haKippurim. It shall be a set-apart gathering for you. And you shall afflict your beings, and shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה.
Lev 23:32 ‘It is a Sabbath of rest to you, and you shall afflict your beings. On the ninth day of the new moon at evening, from evening to evening, you observe your Sabbath.
Which is correct ninth day or tenth day? Wouldn't ninth day evening transition into tenth day if all Shabbats and feasts were from evening to evening? Why would Yahuah say 10th day of the seventh month in verse 27 and few verses down in verse 32 he says ninth day at evening if ninth day evening was already the tenth day according to the 'evening to evening' calendar? This shows that the Day of Atonement began on the evening of the 9th day of the seventh month at evening, the 10th day beginning at dawn and the fast ending in the evening of the 10th day (while the actual day would transition from 10th to the 11th at dawn). A complete 24 hour evening to evening high Shabbat. A pure exception which cannot be a rule for other feasts and Shabbats. The reason of such an observation was because it was a night watch just as Pesach was.
Zec 12:10 “And I shall pour on the house of Dawiḏ and on the inhabitants of Yerushalayim a spirit of favour and prayers. And they shall look on Me whom they pierced, and they shall mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son. And they shall be in bitterness over Him as a bitterness over the first-born.
Zec 12:11 “In that day the mourning in Yerushalayim is going to be great, like the mourning at Haḏaḏ Rimmon in the valley of Meḡiddo.
Re 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
This is also the ONLY time this phrase "even unto even" in the entire Bible the closest to it is Unleavened bread as it started from 14th evening to 21st evening. In Yahudi custom most fast days are considered minor fast days lasting from sunrise to sunset and they were permitted to eat breakfast if they ate it before sunrise. With Yahuah asking them to observe the Fast the previous evening was to humble the soul into ruling out any form of eating before sunrise so that they humble their soul's before him. The spiritual significance being seeing the affliction and sacrifice of Yahusha our Mashiyach and humbling our souls before him in looking on him whom we pierced.
Luk 5:33 And they said to Him, “Why do the taught ones of Yoḥanan fast often and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees, but Yours eat and drink?”
Luk 5:34 And He said to them, “Are you able to make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them?
Luk 5:35 “But days shall come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they shall fast in those days.”
We fast looking and hastening the coming of our bridegroom to come to take us to be with him in New Yerushalam. As long as the bridegroom was with them his disciples didn't fast. Hence the fast is spiritual as it is a watch of wailing for the Son whom we pierced.
Psa 19:4 Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them He set up a tent for the sun,
Psa 19:5 And it /sun is like a bridegroom coming out of his room, It rejoices like a strong man to run the path.
Psa 19:6 Its rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end; And naught is hidden from its heat.
The sun here is likened to a bridegroom coming out of a kind/man H4480 of his room and running it's course
Mal 4:1 “For look, the day shall come, burning like a furnace, and all the proud, and every wrongdoer shall be stubble. And the day that shall come shall burn them up,” said יהוה of hosts, “which leaves to them neither root nor branch. Mal 4:2 “But to you who fear My Name the Sun/shamash H8121 of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings. And you shall go out and be scattered/push H6335 like calves/agalay H5695 from the stall.
The 'signs/aut' H226 were related to the firmament and show us while the physical sun is darkened and strikes those occupied in it's carnal observance, our bridegroom who is like the SUN will rise with healing in his wings on us
Rev 6:12 And I looked when He opened the sixth seal and saw a great earthquake came to be. And the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.
The
sun/shamash H8121 is likened to Yahusha the bridegroom coming out of his chamber/room
as a strong man rejoicing to run the path of a CIRCLE with nothing hidden from
it's path scorching all those outside the covenant with burning like a furnace,
burning all the proud and the wrong doer as a stubble. Verse 2 of Mal 4 says
''....And you shall go out and be scattered like calves/agal H5695 and this
same word agal H5696 means 'circular/round' shows the elect of Yahusha being
scattered on the circle of the earth.
Rev 16:8 And the fourth messenger poured out his bowl on the sun, and it
was given to him to burn men with fire. Rev 16:9 And men were burned with great
heat, and they blasphemed the Name of Elohim who possesses authority over these
plagues. And they did not repent, to give Him esteem.
Those outside the
covenant will be scorched with severe heat turning them to stubble as Malachi
4:1 says while the elect will be covered by the shamash/sun of righteousness
with healing in his wings even though they are scattered.
When measuring time, the moon was designated to rule only with the stars by night, meaning that when the moon begins to rule arising in the east, the sun has just set in the west, marking the commencement of night. The moon is the lesser light spoken of in Genesis 1:14-18, we find it was created and ordained for the purpose of projecting its full LIGHT on the night it ruled, which can only be realized in a FULL MOON and is designated spiritually to prophecy which shines in a dark place until the day dawns and the morning star rises in our hearts. The bright and morning star is Yahusha ha Mashiyach.
2Pe 1:19 And we have the prophetic word made more certain, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts,
The night watches:
Just as Pesach night was a night of watches unto them... The Day of atonement was also a night of watches from the 9th evening. Was it a coincidence that on the night after eating the Pesach meal with his disciples Yahusha went to the mount of Olives and prayed and when he found his disciples sleeping he asked them to Watch and Pray that they enter not into temptation.
Mat 26:40 And He came to the taught ones and found them asleep, and said to Kĕpha, “So, were you not able to watch with Me one hour?
Mat 26:41 “Watch and pray, lest you enter into trial. The spirit indeed is eager, but the flesh is weak.”
Matt 24:42 “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Master is coming.
43 “And know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
44 “Because of this, be ready too, for the Son of Aḏam is coming at an hour when you do not expect Him.
The whore tells us when the good man of the house is coming...
Proverbs 7:19 “For my husband is not at home; He has gone on a long journey;
20 “He took a bag of silver with him; He comes home on the day of the Full moon /kasah H3677 .
The whore is fleshly Yasharal... Hagar with her children... while she pin points the time of her husband coming i.e. at Full Moon while she herself has gone into whoredoms of a black sun and blood moon calendar. Once these facts are realized it can be understood why the urgent call goes forth in Revelation for Yahuah’s obedient followers to “come out of Babylon.” For all the false calendar systems based upon the sun and/or fraudulent new moons only give birth to erroneous Sabbaths and inaccurate Feast Days. We see many occupied with these today and have even made them go out of the inspired scrolls we have to fit what they believe.
The temple sacrifices were always from morning to evening and the temple was closed to the people at night while only the priests guarded the watches of the continuous incense and the oil and fire in the lampstands in the nights. What's interesting to see is that Exo 30:7 says Aharon shall burn on it sweet incense morning by morning as he trims the lamps he shall burn incense on it. The lamps and the incense were to be continual without a break so what the verse means is Aharon the high priest trims the lamps i.e. checks them/dresses them/amend them. The word 'yatab' means to dress/amend/trim/to be good such as in being functional. The word 'yatab' has the root word 'tub/tab' which means 'good'
Exo 30:5 “And you shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.
Exo 30:6 “And you shall put it before the veil that is before the ark of the Witness, before the lid of atonement that is over the Witness, where I am to meet with you.
Exo 30:7 “And Aharon shall burn on it sweet incense, morning by morning. As he trims/yatab H3190 the lamps, he shall burn incense on it.
Exo 30:8 “And when Aharon lights the lamps between the evenings, he shall burn incense on it – a continual incense before יהוה throughout your generations.
While the evening and night watches for lampstands and incense were maintained, the day was from morning to morning, the only exception being the Day of Atonement which began on a evening and ended on a evening and the Unleavened Bread eating which began on the 14th evening and ended on the 21st evening. The Yahudites normalized and fit all their other feast & Shabbat days to an evening to evening observance.
Manna:
Exo 16:16 “This is the word which יהוה has commanded: ‘Let every man gather it according to each one’s need, an omer for each being, according to the number of beings. Let every man take for those who are in his tent.’ ”
Exo 16:17 And the children of Yisra’ĕl did so and gathered, some more, some less.
Exo 16:18 And they measured it by omers, and he who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little did not have too little. Each one gathered according to his need.
Exo 16:19 And Mosheh said, “Let no one leave any of it until morning.”
Exo 16:20 And they did not listen to Mosheh, so some of them left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Mosheh was wroth with them.
Exo 16:21 And they gathered it every morning, each one according to his need. And when the sun became hot, it melted.
Exo 16:22 And it came to be, on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one. And all the rulers of the congregation came and told Mosheh.
Exo 16:23 And he said to them, “This is what יהוה has said, ‘Tomorrow is a rest, a Sabbath set-apart to יהוה. That which you bake, bake; and that which you cook, cook. And lay up for yourselves all that is left over, to keep it until morning.’ ”
Exo 16:24 And they laid it up till morning, as Mosheh commanded. And it did not stink, and no worm was in it.
Exo 16:25 And Mosheh said, “Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to יהוה, today you do not find it in the field.
lt is clear that
in verse 19 manna was not to be kept up until the next day - morning and that it came every morning and not evening (verse 21). When they
kept it for the Sabbath it
was kept up until the next morning (day start) -daybreak and used that day as it
said in verse 23 - tomorrow is the rest.
In verses 24-25 they were told in the morning, “today is a Sabbath to Yahuah” - they were not
told the night before.
Weekly Shabbat:
Based on the various calendar's floating today we see many on Facebook send a greeting of Shabbat Shalum on different days, some on Thursdays, Some on Friday evening, Some on Saturday and so on. This reminds me of Rev 11 the two witnesses which is the truthful witness of the Turah and the prophets which the beast which arises from tahum/deep pit will fight against and kill the truthful witness and while the witness lies dead on the streets of Yerushalam which is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt where our Master was impaled, the people send gifts to one another, and we see the gifts of greeting Shabbat Shalum being exchanged.
Rev 11:7 And when they have ended their witness, the beast coming up out of the pit of the deep shall fight against them, and overcome them, and kill them,
Rev 11:8 and their dead bodies lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Seḏom and Mitsrayim, where also our Master was impaled,
Rev 11:9 and some of the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations see their dead bodies for three and a half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be placed into tombs,
Rev 11:10 and those dwelling on the earth rejoice over them and exult. And they shall send gifts to each other, because these two prophets tortured those dwelling on the earth.
YermeYahu 6:14 “And they heal the breach of My people slightly, saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ when there is no peace.
15 Were they ashamed when they had done abomination? No! They were not at all ashamed, nor did they know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall. They shall stumble at the time I visit them,” said יהוה.
Jer 6:14 “And they heal the breach of My people slightly, saying, ‘Peace/Shalum, peace/Shalum,’ when there is no peace/Shalum.
Jer 6:15 Were they ashamed when they had done abomination? No! They were not at all ashamed, nor did they know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall. They shall stumble at the time I visit them,” said יהוה.
Mat 24:15 “So when you see the ‘abomination that lays waste,’ spoken of by Dani’ĕl the prophet, set up in the set-apart place” – he who reads, let him understand
Yahusha quoted Daniel's prophecy of Daily being taken away and specifically says ''...he who reads, let him understand''
Dan 11:29 “At the appointed time/muaed he shall return and go toward the south, but it shall not be like the former or the latter.
Dan 11:30 “For ships from Kittim shall come against him, and he shall lose heart, and shall return in rage against the set-apart covenant, and shall act, and shall return and consider those who forsake the set-apart covenant.
Dan 11:31 “And strong ones shall arise from him and profane the set-apart place, the stronghold, and shall take away that which is continual, and set up the abomination that lays waste
Da 12:11 And from the time that the daily shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
At the muaed/appointed time the Greek beast will return..the ships from Kittim (Kittim is Rome H3794) shall come against him but he will return and consider those who forsake the set-apart covenant and the strong ones shall arise from him and profane the set-apart place and take away that which is continual and set up the abomination that lays waste. It's important to note that he returns at muaed/feast of Yahuah. Also we saw the verses which state the power of the qodesh people will be scattered for time/muaed, times/muaedim and khatsay. These are the days we live in. One needs eyes to discern the sun turning black and the moon turning into blood before the great Day of Yahuah while those able to see the aut/signs have entered into the Ruach of the Day of Yahuah as the physical Day transitions into the spiritual which is eternal.
John 20:1 And it came to be on the first of the Shabbats Miriam Magdalene came early to the tomb, while it was still dark, and saw the stone taken away from the tomb.
Many translations translate this verse as Now on the first day of the week....based on the Greek manuscripts but the Abary translation says 'way’hiy b’echad baShabbatot' which is correctly translated as 'And it came to be on the first of the Shabbats.......'
The 'evening to evening' observers present a case stating 'On the first day of the week while it was still dark' shows a refutation to the 'morning to morning' observation as the 'first day of the week' would only begin at sunrise with the first beam of light and before the sunrise it would still be the Shabbat. Firstly they have the translation wrong as 'First day of the week' whereas John is showing the counting of the first of the Shabbats to the 7th Shabbat to Shavuot/Pentecost. Secondly they don't compare with other scriptures as Luke shows us Miriam with other women came at early dawn...when the day was transitioning from a Shabbat (on which Yahusha had already risen as the tomb was empty) to the first day of the week at DAWN....while it was still dark in John 20:1 was dawn/twilight. Let's compare all the 4 basarah's to see this....
Luke 24:1 But on the first of Shabbats, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared, and other women with them.
Mark 16:1 And it came to be/way’hiy when the Shabbat day crossed over/abar, Miriam Magdalene, and Miriam the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, so that they might come and anoint Him.
Mark 16:2 Very early in the morning on the first of the Shabbats, they came to the tomb and the sun had risen.
Mark records the Shabbat day crossed over and the sun had risen.
Matt 28:1 Now on the Unleavened eve /mutsay of the Shabbats, as it began to dawn towards the first in/ba Shabbats, Miriam Magdalene and the other Miriam came to look at the grave.
Matthew records the eve of the Shabbats of the Unleavened bread as it began towards the first in Shabbats.....he too is showing the counting of the first of the weekly Shabbat counting to Shavout/Pentecost. They translated 'ba/beyt' which means 'in' as 'of'
We must realize the 4 basarah's are like the 4 dimensions of the 4 faces of the karub i.e. man, lion, ox & eagle each figurative of the witness of Yahusha ha Mashiyach.
Eze 1:10 And the likeness of their faces: the face of a man, and each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, and each of the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and each of the four had the face of an eagle.
Hence we must reconcile the witness of the 4 basarah's to see the whole picture. The 4 basarah's testify Miriam and the women came at dawn while it was still dark on a Shabbat transition to sunlight and this was the first of the Shabbats unto Shavout and remained there as the sun rose to a new day which was the first day of the week.
John 20:19 So when it was evening on that day, the first of the Shabbats, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Yahusha came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
John 20:20 And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Master.
The Shabbat had already crossed over but John to show the maintaining of the count of the first of the 7's to Shavout tells us it was evening of the count of the first of the Shabbats. What is also notable is that Yahusha is the firstfruits/bakar H1061 and is very closely related to baqar/morning H1242
Bakar H1061: Firstfruits
Baqar H1242: Morning/early/morrow
Both words 'bakar' and 'baqar' have the root word 'bar' which means 'Son'. In 'bakar/firstfruits' the root word 'kar' means 'bowl/hollow/dig'...the hollow/bowl is the picture of the womb from where the Son/Bar springs forth as the firstborn/firstfruits...Daud's offspring.
In 'baqar' the root word 'qar' means to call, the Son/Bar as the sun/quph on the horizon calls and that's what the first beam of light brought in...a hope of Mashiyach as Gen 1:3 is defined by Shaul in 2 Corin 4:6 ... For Elohim, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts for the enlightening of the knowledge of the esteem of Elohim in the face of יהושע Messiah.
The Son who sprang forth from the womb/bakar is on the horizon calling /baqar...He is the bright and morning star, the root and offspring of Daud.
Coming back to the tomb,Miriam and the other women came with the spices and found the tomb empty, she ran and told Kepha and the other disciple whom Yahusha loved
John 20:2 So she ran and came to Simon Kepha and to the other disciple whom Yahusha loved, and said to them, They have taken away the Master out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him.
By that time it must have been the morning with the Shabbat ending and that's why Mark is giving witness the sun had risen but doesn't give the events that happened from dawn to the rising of the sun which John does. The other disciple outran Kepha and they saw the tomb empty. When they had gone back to their homes having believed...
John 20:10 So the disciples went away again to their own homes.
But Miriam stood there weeping and had a first encounter with the risen Mashiyach
John 20:11 But Miriam was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb;
He told her not to touch him for he had not yet ascended to the Father
John 20:15 Yahusha said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing Him to be the gardener, she said to Him, Master, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I shall take Him away.
John 20:16 Yahusha said to her, “Miriam!” She turned and said to Him in Hebrew, Rabboni! (which means, Teacher).
John 20:17 Yahusha said to her, “Touch Me not, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My El and your El.’”
But the same evening told his disciples to touch him
John 20:19 So when it was evening on that day, the first of the Shabbats, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Yahusha came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
John 20:20 And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Master.
Why did he tell Miriam not to touch him early in the morning and that same evening he told his disciples to touch his hands and his side? For this we must understand Turah.
Three days from Pesach was the feast of the firstfruits, the Yasharali had to bring the first-fruits/rashayath of his harvest to the priest and the morrow after the Shabbat he had to waive it and offer the ban/son lamb a year old, a perfect one with it's grain offering and till they offered this they were no to eat bread or roasted grain or fresh grain.
Lev 23:9 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Lev 23:10 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and you shall say to them, ‘When you come into the land which I give you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest to the priest.
Lev 23:11 ‘And he shall wave the sheaf before יהוה, for your acceptance. On the morrow after the Sabbath the priest waves it.
Lev 23:12 ‘And on that day when you wave the sheaf, you shall prepare a male/ban lamb a year old, a perfect one, as a burnt offering to יהוה,
Lev 23:13 and its grain offering: two-tenths of an ĕphah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to יהוה, a sweet fragrance, and its drink offering: one-fourth of a hin of wine.
Lev 23:14 ‘And you do not eat bread or roasted grain or fresh grain until the same day that you have brought an offering to your Elohim – a law forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
So we see spiritually Mashiyach fulfilling this as he is the firstfruits offered on the morrow after the Shabbat, the morning light brought in the morrow after the Shabbat and very early in the morning the firstfruits were not yet offered in the temple but during the course of the day from sunrise to sunset the Yasharali's would offer the firstfruits of their barley harvest and the priest would waive it, that's why he told her not to touch him but the same evening he told the disciples to touch his hands and his feet because during the course of the day the firstfruit wave offering would have been completed with the ban lamb offering and the grain offering. Hence we see Mashiyach fulfilling Turah.
Laws of remaining unclean until the evening:
There were various laws which kept one unclean until the evening, laws like touching the bed of a woman mensurating, man who had an emission, man and his wife who had a sexual intercourse etc. They were to bathe and they would remain unclean until evening.
Lev 15:16 ‘And when a man has an emission of semen, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until evening.
Lev 15:17 ‘And any garment and any leather on which there is semen, shall also be washed with water, and be unclean until evening.
Lev 15:18 ‘And when a woman lies with a man, and there is an emission of semen, they both shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.
Lev 15:19 ‘And when a woman has a discharge, and the discharge from her flesh is blood, she has to be in her separation for seven days. And whoever touches her is unclean until evening.
Lev 15:20 ‘And whatever she lies on during her separation is unclean. And whatever she sits on is unclean.
Lev 15:21 ‘And anyone who touches her bed has to wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.
Lev 15:22 ‘And whoever touches any object that she sat on has to wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.
Lev 15:23 ‘And if it is on the bed or on any object on which she sits, when he touches it, he is unclean until evening.
The 'evening to evening' observers would quickly state the day resets at 'evening' so that's why they were clean after the evening and hence the 'morning to morning observance is wrong. For if the morning to morning observance would be correct then they should be clean at dawn and not the evening.
What they fail to see is if they would be unclean until the dawn/twilight they wouldn't get time to prepare for the Shabbat and other feast days which start in the morning. Their preparation for the Shabbat and other high days would begin at night, for on the Shabbat or high days they were not to cook, gather, or do any work. The evening to morning would be their PREPARATION TIME.
The same can be seen for the water of purification for the people of Yasharal, the priest offering the heifer, the one burning the burnt offering and the one gathering the ashes of the heifer would wash themselves and remain unclean until the evening. This doesn't mean that the day reset at evening but gave enough time for even the priests to prepare to present themselves attendance to the altar, feasts, Shabbats and the service of the people.
Num 19:1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon, saying,
Num 19:2 “This is a law of the Torah which יהוה has commanded, saying, ‘Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, that they bring you a red heifer, a perfect one, in which there is no blemish and on which a yoke has never come.
Num 19:3 ‘And you shall give it to Elʽazar the priest, and he shall bring it outside the camp, and shall slaughter it before him.
Num 19:4 ‘And Elʽazar the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and sprinkle some of its blood seven times toward the front of the Tent of Meeting.
Num 19:5 ‘And the heifer shall be burned before his eyes – he burns its hide, and its flesh, and its blood, and its dung.
Num 19:6 ‘And the priest shall take cedar wood and hyssop and scarlet, and throw them into the midst of the fire burning the heifer.
Num 19:7 ‘The priest shall then wash his garments, and shall bathe his body in water, and afterward come into the camp, but the priest is unclean until evening.
Num 19:8 ‘And he who is burning it washes his garments in water, and shall bathe his body in water, and is unclean until evening.
Num 19:9 ‘And a clean man shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and shall place them outside the camp in a clean place. And they shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl for the water for uncleanness, it is for cleansing from sin.
Num 19:10 ‘And he who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his garments, and is unclean until evening. And it shall be a law forever to the children of Yisra’ĕl and to the stranger who sojourns in their midst.
Peace offerings:
Lev 7:15 ‘As for the flesh of the slaughtering of his peace offering for thanksgiving, it is eaten the same day it is offered, he does not leave any of it until morning.
Lev 7:16 ‘And if the offering he brings is a vow or a voluntary offering, it is eaten the same day that he brings his slaughtering, and what is left of it is eaten the next day,
Lev 7:17 but whatever is left of the flesh of the slaughtering on the third day is burned with fire.
If the offering is eaten the same day and none of it is to be left until morning, then the morning is NOT the same day but the next day! Again morning here is baqar H1242 is means daybreak or break of the day or morrow! But if the sacrifice of his offering be a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice: and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten"
Other scriptures showing the new day began at 'sunrise' and not 'sunset':
Mar 4:35 And on the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us pass over to the other side.”
At the SAME DAY when even was come! If the day starts at evening, it would say it's a New day, NOT the same day!
Gen 19:33 So they made their father drink wine that night. And the first-born went in and lay with her father, and he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she arose.
34 And it came to be on the next day that the first-born said to the younger, “See, I lay with my father last night. Let us make him drink wine tonight as well, and you go in and lie with him, so that we keep the seed of our father.”
The first night the daughters of Lot made him drink wine is separated from the day... Read verse 34...and it came to be the next day.... If evening to evening was correct then the preceding night would be the same day.
Judges 19: 9 And the man arose to go, he and his concubine and his servant. But his father-in-law, the young woman’s father, said to him, “See, the day is now drawing toward evening. Please spend the night. See, the day is coming to an end. Stay here, and let your heart be glad. And you shall rise early tomorrow for your journey, and you shall go to your tent.”
The day is coming to an end in the evening... Pls spend the night... And you shall Rise early Tomorrow (morning brings the morrow).
1Samuel 19:11 And Sha’ul sent messengers to Dawiḏ’s house to watch him and to put him to death in the morning. And Miḵal, Dawiḏ’s wife, informed him, saying, “If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you are put to death.”
Daud's wife Mikal warned Daud of Shaul's intention to put him to death in the morning which was TOMORROW and asked him to save his life TONIGHT. Tonight is separated from the morning (the next day) when Shaul wanted to put Daud to death.
Neh 13:19 And it came to be, at the gates of Yerushalayim, as it began to be dark/tsalal H6751 before the Sabbath, that I commanded the gates to be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened till after the Sabbath. And I stationed some of my servants at the gates, so that no burdens would be brought in on the Sabbath day.
'Evening to evening' observers use Neh 13:19 as a proof text supporting their view without reading the context.
Neh 13:15 In those days I saw in Yehuḏah those treading wine presses on the Sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and loading donkeys with wine, grapes, and figs, and all kinds of burdens, which they brought into Yerushalayim on the Sabbath day. So I warned them on the day they sold food.
Neh 13:16 And men of Tsor dwelt there, bringing in fish and all kinds of goods, and sold them on the Sabbath to the children of Yehuḏah, and in Yerushalayim.
The context was that Nehemiah saw the traders from Tsor brought in fish and all kings of goods and sold them on the Shabbat to the children of Yahudah and in Yerushalam. Nehemiah contends with them as profaning the Shabbat and takes precautionary measure to close the gate of Yerushalam the evening before the Shabbat to prevent these merchants entering into the city at night to sell to them.
Neh 13:19 And it came to be, at the gates of Yerushalayim, as it began to be dark before the Sabbath, that I commanded the gates to be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened till after the Sabbath. And I stationed some of my servants at the gates, so that no burdens would be brought in on the Sabbath day.
Neh 13:20 And the merchants and sellers of all kinds of wares spent the night outside Yerushalayim once or twice,
Neh 13:21 and I warned them, and said to them, “Why do you spend the night around the wall? If you do so again, I lay hands on you!” From that time on they came no more on the Sabbath.
We have Nehemiah testifying that once he closed the gates of Yerushalam when it was getting dark before the Shabbat, the merchants and sellers of all kinds of wares spent the night outside Yerushalam once or twice with a hope to enter in to sell as other times on Shabbat day until Nehemiah warned them (verse 21) and from that time on they came no more on the Shabbat.
Act 4:3 And they arrested them (Kepha and Yahuchanan), and put them in jail until the next day, for it was already evening.
If it was already evening, the evening should bring in the next day, isn't it? :)
1Sa 11:10 So the men of Yaḇĕsh said, “Tomorrow we come out to you, and you shall do to us whatever seems good to you.”
1Sa 11:11 And it came to be, on the next day, that Sha’ul put the people in three companies. And they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch and smote Ammon until the heat of the day. And it came to be that those left were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
Tomorrow is associate with the morning watch
There is so much evidence from scriptures right from Genesis 1 showing the morning brought in a new day with the first beam of light. The sun marks the beginning of each new year at the vernal equinox and rules the day morning to sunset, the full moon marks the appointed times in a month and rules the night with the stars as a light shining in a dark place until the day star rises in the heart. The luminaries were made as a shadow pointing out to the the true LIGHT Mashiyach and his dabar as a light in a dark path. Those in Mashiyach have transitioned from the physical to the spiritual seeing the luminaries darkened and finding their light in Yahuah alone
Isa 60:19 “No longer is the sun your light by day, nor does the moon give light to you for brightness, but יהוה shall be to you an everlasting light, and your Elohim your comeliness.
Isa 60:20 “No longer does your sun go down, nor your moon withdraw itself, for יהוה shall be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended.
Isa 60:21 “And your people, all of them righteous, shall inherit the earth forever – a branch of My planting, a work of My hands, to be adorned.
Mat 24:29 “And immediately after the distress of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give its light, and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
Mat 24:30 “And then the sign of the Son of Aḏam shall appear in the heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, and they shall see the Son of Aḏam coming on the clouds of the heaven with power and much esteem.
Rev 8:12 And the fourth messenger sounded, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. And a third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.
We see so much of apostasy as people go outside the inspired scrolls to books of Enoch, Jubilees, Temple scrolls etc and calculate days in their calendar proving what they are following is true and each one is doing what is right in their own eyes. Yahuah has sent them a strong delusion to believe the lie. They are not able to see the sign of the sun turning black which Yahuah brought about when Yahusha hung on the stake from the sixth hour to the ninth hour, a complete solar eclipse never experienced before to show the apostasy that prevailed during Yahusha's time and him be impaled on the Unleavened bread while they thought their evening would bring in the feast of Unleavened bread which they would eat with the Pesach lamb. Yahuah also fulfilled Turah by bringing the morning and evening sacrifices offered daily from sunrise to sunset in the temple making them One in Mashiyach and as prophesied at evening time there was LIGHT, the darkness couldn't comprehend/suppress the light. The evening came with a light also shows the fulfillment of the light of the candlestick which had to be maintained even in the night.
Luke 23:44 It was now about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour,
Zec 14:6 And in that day it shall be: there is no light, it is dark.
Zec 14:7 And it shall be one day which is known to יהוה, neither day nor night, but at evening time there shall be light.
Moreover Yahuah also fulfilled by bringing the feast of Pesach (the first feast) and the feast of Tabernacles (last feast) together when Yahusha before undergoing the trial entered Yerushalam just before Pesach and the people brought branches of palm trees and laid them on the ground and cried 'Baruk haba bashem Yahuah'. Yahuah shows us spiritually a transition from the physical to the spiritual making everything One in Mashiyach.
Col 2:16 Let no one therefore judge you in food, or drink, or in respect of a festival or Rashey Chadashim (new months) or Shabbats
Col 2:17 which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of the Mashiyach.
We are called to go beyond the veil of Yahusha's flesh to enter into the most set apart place and all feasts, Shabbats, New months, food and drinks stood as shadows of things to come.
Heb 10:19 So, brothers, having boldness to enter into the Set-apart Place by the blood of יהושע,
Heb 10:20 by a new and living way which He instituted for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,
Finally let's revisit Proverbs 7:19 “For my husband is not at home; He has gone on a long journey;
Pro 7:20 “He took a bundle/tsrar H6872 of silver/kasap H3701 with him; He comes home on the day of the full moon/kasah H3677.”
The root word 'kas' is in 'kasap/silver' as well as in 'kasah/full moon', the word 'kas' means 'cup/cover/seat' .
'kasah' H3677 means 'full moon' and H3678 'kasah' means 'throne'
'kasap' H3701 means 'silver' and H3700 same word means 'desire/longing'
She says her husband is gone on a long journey and has taken a bundle of a covering/kas, desire/kasap, he will return on the day of the throne or rule/kasah. The full moon stood as sign of the feast day of Yahuah (Psalms 81:3) as a light shining in a dark place (2 Peter 1:19) a shadow pointing to the Day star i.e. Mashiyach who would bring in the EVERLASTING LIGHT.
The Jews observe the crescent moon also called the silver moon for all their feasts, it is also a sign to them that he has taken all their silver moons in a bundle and will return to judge them at the full moon for their harlotry and the full moon/kasah also means 'Throne/Taking seat'
