The Calendar Acid Test

The following “acid tests” will allow one to distinguish between the Creators calendar and a calendar which is a counterfeit. Each test should be taken one after the other. You cannot start the test midway through. Start the test at number one and work your way through to the last test. If you pass these test, you stand a good chance that you are using the Creators calendar. If you fail one of these tests, you should go back and look at why.

The test is not conclusive, but rather if you have got all these things right, you are on the right track.

Acid test #1

Is the first day of every month counted from the new moon?

• If the days are counted from the new moon, then the calendar passes the first acid test.
• If the days are not counted from the new moon, but are instead counted from another location such as an international date line, the calendar is fraudulent.

Acid test #2

Is New moon day ever work day?

• If the answer is no, it is never a work day then the calendar passes the second acid test.
• If new moon days upon the calendar are a work day then the calendar is fraudulent.

Acid test #3

Is the seventh New Moon day always a Sabbath and not a work day?

• If the answer is yes, then the calendar passes the third acid test.
• If the answer is no, then the calendar fails the third acid test.

Acid test #4

Does the calendar ever have 31 days or more,  or 28 days or less in it?

• If the answer is no, then the calendar passes the fourth acid test.
• If the answer is yes, then the calendar fails the fourth acid test.

Acid test #5

Do any of the months have more that four Sabbaths in them?

• If the answer is no, then the calendar passes the fifth acid test. There are no months with more than four Sabbath in them, within the scriptures.
• If the answer is yes, then the calendar fails the fifth acid test.

Acid test #6

According to Exodus 23:12-13, the calendar must not use the names of any other Elohim. So does the calendar use the names of any other elohim? (E.g. Woden – Wednesday, Thor – Thursday, Friga – Friday?)

• If the answer is no, then the calendar passes the sixth acid test.
• If the answer is yes, then the calendar fails the sixth acid test.

Acid test #7

In Leviticus 23:11 we learn that there is a Sabbath day after the 14th day of the new moon. Leviticus 23:11 is speaking of the 16th day, and points out that it is the day after the Sabbath the day before which is the 15th (as Passover is the 14th)

Leviticus 23:4-11
4 ‘These are the appointed times of Yahuwah, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times:
5 Yahuwah’s Passover is on the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight.
6 The apointed time of Unleavened Bread to Yahuwah is on the fifteenth day of the same moon; for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.
7 On the first day you shall have a holy convocation (Sabbath); you shall not do any laborious work [on that day].
8 But you shall present an offering by fire to Yahuwah for seven days; on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation; you shall not do any laborious work [on that day].’
9 Yahuwah spoke to Moses, saying,
10 “Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘When you enter the land which I am giving you (the sixteenth) and reap its harvest, you shall bring the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest.
11 He shall wave the sheaf before Yahuwah so that you may be accepted; the priest shall wave it on the day after the Sabbath (which was on the fifteenth).

Is the fifteenth day after the first moon a Sabbath day and not a work day?

• If the answer is yes, then it passes the seventh acid test.
• If the answer is no, then is fails the seventh acid test.

Acid test #8

In 1 Chronicles 24:7-18 we see the priest take 24 lots for the ministering as Priests in the temple. This provided each priest with two lots per year.

1 Chronicles 24:7-18

18 the twenty-third to Delaiah, the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.

We see in Revelation 22:1-2 a tree which bears fruit once each month for 12 months. We also only ever see a possible maximum of 4 Sabbaths each month.

Revelation 22
1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of Elohim and of the Lamb.
2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

Does the calendar have 48 weeks in it only?

• If the answer is yes, then it passes the eighth acid test.
• If the answer is not then it fails the eighth acid test.

Acid test #9

Do the Sabbaths always land seven work days apart and do not include new moon days? That is do the Sabbaths always land on the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th days of the month?

• If the answer is no, then it fails the ninth acid test.

Acid test #10

Is the calendar a floating calendar upon the calendar of scripture or is it fixed?

• If the days float from one year to another (e.g. the Sabbath is upon the  third day of the 2nd month in one year and then upon the fifth day of the snd month upon the next year) then it fails the tenth acid test – the days in scripture do not float from one year to another.

……
32 It is to be to you a Sabbath of complete rest, and you shall humble yourselves. On the ninth day of the moon at evening, from evening to evening you shall keep your Sabbath.”

So how did you go? Did your calendar measure up to scripture? If you passed all the questions, you should be aware that there are still more which relate to the time the calendar starts, but we shall leave this to another day.
