Hi, I am getting confused again when I thought I had it together! Mr Merlin celebrated the Sabbath on saturday, I celebrate it today sunday and you are celebrating it on monday with the new moon on wednesday. I was looking forward to the new moon on Monday Dec 18. I hope we can get this straightened out.
I think the issue you are having may be twofold. Let me explain.
Some people use conjunction as the way they know the new moon. I do not do this. I use the Light as it was the Light He told us to follow when He speaks of the appointed times. The Light of His word needs to match the Light of the moon.
We see in scripture New moon day. It has Light upon it. The only event we do not see in the fourth Sabbath. There is no Light upon this in the scriptures. So if I was using conjunction, my Sabbath would be a day or two earlier than it is when we use the First visible crescent.
The other issue is once you see the Light, how do you know which day is New moon day? Was it the day you saw the Light upon or was that a sign telling you that New Moon day is approaching? I understand it as a sign, and I use it that way. For I see the light, and then the day comes. I think of it as a traffic light. I see the Sign of the green light then I start the new month. You can see this in the appointed time of trumpet, where they blew the trumpets during the day. It would not work if they saw the moon after they had blown the trumpets during the day.
The other thing you need to understand is that it is possible for someone in one location to have the Sabbath either a Gregorian day before or after you. The reason is that the two calendars do not align. You see the Gregorian calendar uses a fixed dateline. The scriptural calendar the line moves between one new moon and the next. There is an image of where the new moon is seen about halfway down in this article (https://calendarofscripture.com/2017/11/25/the-calendar-of-scripture/) it is in green. Click on it to see it larger. You will see how the dateline – where the new moon is seen – does not align with the international dateline. It is sort of like taking a measuring tape and starting it at a different location. The day will start at a different location upon the calendar of scripture when you compare it to the fixed Gregorian calendar. (If you look at the image carefuly, you will see where the international date line is and you will see there the scriptual day starts and ends) – two different locations.
I pray this assists you with your query. Merlin is a lovely gentleman, but I can see He is still learning on this subject matter. I have spoken to him about it before, but we all come to see things in our own time.
Hello Ramona, it will ALWAYS be confusing when one follows the First Visible Crescent (FVC) as a new moon, this is because it takes the FVC 3 THREE DAYS to cover the face of the earth . . .
Research the “Full Moon as NM because this method is proven to be correct. 🙂
Blessings
That is very bad advice you are providing here. THE FVC will ALWAYS be seen on either the 29th or 30th day at even. Always. I have never once seen it outside this time frame.
Those who use the full moon as the new moon are taking the Light given to us and are calling it darkness, and they are taking that which is not seen and calling it Light.
What do I mean? Those who use the full moon as the new moon have no Light upon the second Sabbath at all, but when you look in scripture, you find that it is spoken of the most. His word is a Light, and that event is seen the most. Then we have the fourth Sabbath, which we do not see directly in His word. It is hidden.
You should read the scripture under the main links at the top of this page for it speaks directly against what you have said.
It all depends upon where the new moon was seen first. Some locations it was seen one Gregorian calendar day before other areas and that is normal Will. The Roman calendar does not line up with the scriptural calendar. A scriptural day does not start upon the international date line, rather it starts where the new moon was seen.
Worlds Last Chance have no Light upon the new Moon, when there is clearly light upon this event in scripture. They have never considered this. The only event in which there was no light on in scripture, is the fourth Sabbath, however Worlds last chance have Light there.
I too used to work according to the Gregorian week. I change my job so my hours could be changed every four weeks. A business who hires people to fulfill roles 7 days a week will probably let you choose the days.
Observing the Sabbath on the biblical calendar, which sometimes shifts days on the Gregorian calendar, can indeed be challenging—especially when modern work schedules don’t always accommodate it. I appreciate your determination to prioritize it, even if it requires some adjustment.
Here are a few ways to approach this:
1. Flexible Work Arrangements
If possible, consider speaking with your employer about adjusting your schedule to allow for the Sabbath. Some workplaces offer flexible hours, or even allow employees to work extra hours on other days to make up for the day off. As you mentioned, switching to a four-day workweek could be a helpful solution if it’s available to you.
2. Exploring Career Paths with Sabbath Flexibility
Another approach is to consider roles or career paths that may provide the flexibility you need to observe the Sabbath regularly. Service-based jobs, freelance work, and self-employment, for example, sometimes offer more control over your schedule. I commend you for making such a transition yourself; it’s a real testament to your commitment!
3. Balancing Priorities with Prayer and Patience
Sometimes, adapting to the biblical Sabbath takes time, and Yahuwah understands our circumstances and limitations. If finding flexibility within your current job isn’t possible right now, take heart in knowing that there may be opportunities in the future. Prayerfully consider options, and trust that Yahuwah will guide you toward a solution that aligns with your values.
4. Focusing on Sabbath Practices as Much as Possible
When observing the Sabbath is challenging due to work commitments, try to incorporate Sabbath principles where you can. Setting aside restful and worshipful time on the day, even if you must work, helps keep your focus on Yahuwah’s appointed times. This may involve pausing for prayer, engaging in reflective study, or taking intentional breaks to center your mind.
I commend you for your dedication, and I hope these suggestions offer some ways to help make your observance of the Sabbath possible and fulfilling. May Yahuwah continue to provide guidance as you navigate this journey.
The FVC is correct and that is what the calendar above shows. It just depends exactly where you live. It is possible that some areas could have possibly seen the New Moon on the evening of the 26th. But most would have seen it the evening of the 27th of September 2022, which makes the 28th of September 2022 New Moon day.
Could you clarify your question regarding why the month can’t be more than 29-30 days? I think I know what your asking, but just want to be certain before spending ages answering something different to what you actually wanted to know.

A sign is given as warning. Then you take action.
