   The Looney Sabbaths

 

   One of the main reasons that I have not written much about the Lunar sabbaths, is because I felt that if folks allow themselves to be yanked out of the everlasting covenant that easy by the Lunar sabbath doctrine, they deserved to be deceived.

   Here is the Big Gun from Scripture that blew holes in the Looney sabbath doctrine. #1)  The weekly cycle began without a Moon, or a Sun for that matter, which means that the moon does not govern the weekly cycle.  The moon was not created until the fourth day (Gen. 1:14-16).  Which means that the earth turning on its axes was the only thing needed to begin the weekly cycle.   Need a second witness don’t you?  Well Ok,  “Upon the fourth day thou commanded that the Sun should shine, and the Moon give her light, and the planets should be in order.” II Esdras 6:45.  Now some folks say that the moon is not a light, that it just reflects light.  This argument is so hoky! Again Scripture blows it away!  “And Elohim made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule by night: the stars also.” Ver.16.  The Psalms clarify what these lights are that rule the day and night, in case you couldn’t figure it out!  “The sun to rule the day . . . the moon and stars to rule by night.” Ps. 136:9.  There you have it!  This argument alone blows away the Looney Sabbaths.  But here is some more.

  #2) The Lunar sabbath belief is that the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th day of every Lunar month is a Sabbath.  Somebody forgot to inform YAHUWAH of this when He was in the cloudy pillar.  Check it out for yourself!  The cloudy pillar ignored the 15th day of the month as a Sabbath, because YAHUWAH caused the children of Israel to carry all their burdens on that day in their jouney.  Here’s the quote: “All the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, . . . ON the fifteenth day of the second month.” Ex. 16:1

Do you realize how good this quote is?  This quote is as good as if it said that the Sabbath was on the 12th day of the month.  Because it shows that the 15th day of the month was not a Sabbath.  If the 15th day would have been a Sabbath the cloudy pillar would have rested and the children of Israel would have rested and not carried all their burdens on that day.  But the cloudy pillar caused them to labor that day.  I suggest we follow the cloudy pillar and not Satan’s whirlwinds full of dirt and mire.  Another Big Gun Scriptural argument that blows holes in the Looney sabbaths belief!

   #3) Say its not enough? Need more?  I like the count to Pentecost argument.  “And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after haShabbat (the seventh-day Sabbath), from the day that ye brought the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be complete (49 days).  Even unto the morrow (next day) after the seventh Sabbath will you number fifty days.” Lev. 23:15, 16

   No matter how you slice it, according to the Looney Sabbath doctrine, you will have numbered 50 days BEFORE you can get seven Sabbaths, because once a month their Lunar week will extend to 8 or 9 days.  You ought to be able to figure out that the Looney sabbath folks are backwards.  YAHUWAH said “the morrow AFTERseven Sabbaths you will number fifty days.  The Lunar-ticks number fifty days BEFORE they get seven sabbaths.  Bass ackwards ain’t it!  THREE STRIKES, YOUR OUT!!!

    Now folks in Missouri (the Show Me State) will be askin’ If the Sabbath is always on the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th of the month, then please SHOW ME!  Because we gave one account where the 15th day was not a Sabbath, and we Showed ya!

   Did you ever notice that the fourth commandment in the Decalogue never mentioned the weekly cycle being regulated by the moon?  Or, did you ever notice that the fourth commandment never mentioned “Remember the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th days of the months are Sabbaths to keep holy.”

   If you type in Lunar Sabbaths on the internet you’ll get a host of witchcraft and sorcery websites, AMAZING!  BINGO! 

   The idea that we should govern the weekly cycle by the moon is not new.  Several years ago it was brought up for consideration.  The 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th of each month was their sabbath idea.  But this was easily overthrown and rejected since the Saviour died on the Passover (which is the 14th) and the Scripture said the next day was the Sabbath (Mark 15:42) so the creepsters had to slink off back to the drawing board and figure out some other way of taking believers out of the covenant.  So they made the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th day of each Scriptural month a sabbath.  The hole thing is written with the finger of man.  The sun is a male symbol, and the moon is a female symbol (Gen. 37:9, 10), seems to me that the lunar-ticks have reverted back to worshipping the “queen of heaven” literally because they hammer the truth on their anvil forcing all Scripture to fit their theory.  It becomes quite obvious that they are  “not subject to the law of Elohim, neither indeed can be.” Romans 8:7.  Paul told Timothy: “In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if Elohim peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth.”  In otherwords, if we wish to show ourselves repentant towards the Creator this can only be done by acknowledging the truth.  Which means being subject to what Scripture says.

   I believe the reason folks pipe into the “lying wonders” of the Looney sabbaths is because they “received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.  And for this cause Elohim shall send them strong delusion, that they might believe a lie:  That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had” their own “pleasure on My holy day” (II Thess. 2:9-12 & Isa. 58:13.  “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it Set-Apart.” Ex. 20:8
