The biblical calendar is just ignored — it’s not lost knowledge. It follows a divine lunar rhythm where Sabbaths and holy convocations align with the moon’s phases, not a fixed weekly cycle like the modern Saturday Sabbath. Scripture, particularly Isaiah 66:23 (“from new moon to new moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath”), ties worship to lunar cycles, with the new moon marking the monthly reset and the full moon on day 15 of each month marking key Sabbaths, such as the Passover Sabbath on Nisan 15 and the Second Passover Sabbath on Iyyar 15.
The Sabbath is defined as a rest day after six days of work (Exodus 20:9–11, Leviticus 23:3). However, holy convocations like Passover, Shavuot, and others act as “seven breakers,” disrupting this six-day cycle and making a continuous weekly Sabbath impossible. In this calendar, each new moon renews the cycle, acting as a worship day and monthly reset before the first six-day work sequence begins. Sabbaths then fall on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th, fixed to the moon’s phases.
In this framework, Nisan is always 30 days, Adar is 29 days (in leap years, Adar I is 30 days, Adar II is 29 days). The Passover Sabbath on Nisan 15 begins the Shavuot count on Nisan 16. Counting 50 days — 14 days of Nisan (16–30), 29 days of Iyyar, and 6 days of Sivan — places the seventh Sabbath on Sivan 6, the 50th day on Sivan 7, and Pentecost on Sivan 8 (Leviticus 23:21).
Pentecost on Sivan 8, if midweek, interrupts the six-day work cycle. A new six-day work cycle from Sivan 9–14 sets the next Sabbath on Sivan 15, the full moon. This reset aligns Sabbaths with lunar phases, avoiding overlaps that violate Exodus 20:9.
The second-month Passover (Numbers 9:10–11), observed on Iyyar 14 with a Sabbath on Iyyar 15, does not begin a separate Sabbath cycle. Both Nisan and Iyyar observances keep the same lunar Sabbaths — 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th.
The difference lies only in their count toward Shavuot. Those keeping Nisan Passover reach Pentecost on Sivan 8. Those keeping Iyyar Passover reach Pentecost on the fourth month, day 8. Thus, both groups walk in the same divine Sabbath order, unified by the new moon resets.
Other convocations, like Yom Kippur (Tishri 10) or Tabernacles (Tishri 15), disrupt the work cycle midweek, reinforcing the lunar Sabbath pattern. The traditional fixed Saturday Sabbath cannot accommodate these interruptions without breaking the six-day work rule.
The Biblical months, as seen in calendars like the Mighty Sons Ekklesia, ensure six work days precede each rest, unless broken by scripture. Holy days synchronize with new moon and full moon for sabbath patterns. This restores the divine calendar by syncing Sabbaths and holy days with the moon’s phases.
