(New Moon = New light)
Blow up the trumpet in the New Moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. For this was a statute for Yisrael, and a law of the Alahym of Yaqob/Jacob (Psalms 81:3-4).
New Moon Day is one calendar day for all the world starting at dawn. New Moon Day is always that first calendar day of the month, starting at dawn, that the entire world can experience together, that is on the same calendar day, a dawning new day after new light begins to shine forth from the moon.
(See also: 1Samuel 20:5, 18; Psalms 104:19; Isaiah 66:22-23; Ezekiel 46:1&3)
7th Day Sabbath/Shabat:
Remember the Sabbath day, to set it apart. Six days you labour, and shall do all your work,
but the seventh day is a Sabbath of YAHUAH your Elohim. You do not do any work – you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days YAHUAH made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore YAHUAH blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart
(Exodus 20:8-11).
The Set-Apart Scripture identifies the Sabbath as ordained by and belonging to YAHUAH (See Exodus 31:13 & Ezekiel 20:12). The date set by the Creator for the 7th Day Sabbaths is always the seventh day from the start of the six working days of every week (See Exodus 20:8-10; Leviticus 23:2-3). These Sabbaths are seventh-day Sabbaths or Shabats. They are appointed meeting times and set apart convocations or gathering together of assemblies. The day after New Moon Day is the first working day of the first week, and begins the count toward the Shabat of YAHUAH. Monday falls on New Moon Day then the next four Mondays after New Moon Day will fall on YAHUAH’S 7th Day Sabbaths. The 7th day Sabbaths of YAHUAH always fall on the 8th 15th 22nd and 29th days of every moon cycle.
The 14th day from the first New Moon of the year (Abib)
The date set by the Creator for the Passover is the fourteenth day, starting at evening, from the first New Moon of the year. (See Leviticus 23:5). The first moon cycle of the year is named Abib (See Exodus 13:4). Passover always falls upon the sixth working day (Seen as wd6 on the 2025 calendar), of the second week of the month and is also always the day before the first day of the Feast Of Unleavened Bread. Due to Passover and the second Sabbath of the month usually being near the middle of the moon cycle, these appointed times are always associated with a full moon or very near a full moon.
The 15th day of the first month of the year
The date set by the Creator for The Feast Of Matzot (Unleavened Bread - ULB) is the fifteenth day of the first moon cycle, Abib. ULB always begins on the second 7th Day Sabbath of the first moon cycle of the year (See Leviticus 23:6). ULB is a seven-day festival ending on the twenty-first day of the month, which is a no work day and a set apart gathering to YAHUAH.
The 6th day of the first month of the year
The Day of First-fruits always occurs on the first working day of the third week of the first moon cycle. The Day of First Fruits also always happens the day after the second 7th Day Sabbath of the first moon cycle (See Leviticus 23:10-11). The Day of First Fruits was the day that the people of Yisrael brought a bundle of corn stalks to the Levitical priest and the priest would present the sheeves of corn stalks to YAHUAH by waving them before YAHUAH. After the priest waved the stalks before YAHUAH, then the people of the land could start harvesting from the field. The primary meaning of the stalks of First Fruits points to YAHUSHA Messiah (See 1Corinthians 15:20, 23). The Day of First Fruits is the second day of The Feast Of Matzot, and is not a Set Apart gathering.
Festival of Weeks
The appointed meeting time of Shabuat/Weeks is a one-day Set Apart gathering of believers. The date set by the Creator is determined by counting seven 7th Day Sabbaths, starting with the first Sabbath after the day of Day of First Fruits, which is the third 7th Day Sabbath of the first moon cycle. After the seventh Sabbath we are to add fifty days. The appointed meeting time of Weeks is a Sabbath of thanksgiving for blessings of YAHUAH throughout the growing season, especially the addition of new believers (See Exodus 34:22; Leviticus 23:15-16). The growing season also represents the time for people to make their calling and election sure and follow the Everlasting Good News of YAHUAH before it is too late.
YUM TARUAH – Feast Of Trumpets: A Memorial Of Blowing Of Trumpets
1st Day Of Seventh Month or 7th New Moon Day
The date set by the Creator for Yum Taruah is the first day of the seventh moon cycle. In the land of Yisrael, during the ministry of the Levitical priest, the priest blew the silver trumpets on the first day of each moon cycle (See Numbers 10:10). YAHUAH sets the first day of the seventh month aside as a special appointed meeting time and a set-apart gathering for the followers of YAHUAH (See Leviticus 23:24). The Feast Of Trumpets proclaims the solemn warning for the soon arrival of the very solemn and important Day Of Atonement.
YUM KIPPURIM - Day Of Atonement
10th Day Of The 7th Moon
The date set by the Creator for The Day Of Atonement is always the tenth day of the seventh moon cycle. The set-apart appointed meeting time and set-apart gathering begins on the ninth day of the seventh month in the evening and continues through the night of the ninth calendar day and throughout the morning of the tenth day. The day of atonement ends with the coming of evening of the tenth day of the seventh month (See Leviticus 16; Leviticus 23:26-32). The Day Of Atonement is an approximately 24 hour period of afflicting the being, namely, fasting and prayer before YAHUAH. YUM KIPPURIM points forward to the time when YAHUAH will place all confessed and repented sins of the set-apart ones upon the originator of sin – Satan. This primary fulfilment of the final time of YUM KIPPURIM will occur in the final generation and prior to the 7th Trumpet of Revelation chapter 11.
SUKUT – The Feast Of Tabernacles
15th Day Of 7th Moon
The date set by the Creator for the joyous appointed meeting time and set apart gathering of Sukut - The Feast Tabernacles, is the fifteenth day of the seventh moon cycle. Sukut is a seven-day festival and always begins on the second 7th Day Sabbath of the seventh month (See Leviticus 23:33 44).
According to the Set-Apart Scripture, The Feast of Tabernacles must occur in the 7th moon cycle, which is the moon cycle closest to the fall equinox, also known as the turn or revolution of the year (See Exodus 34:22). Sukut points forward to the great celebration of all the set-apart ones from all ages, as they celebrate and worship before the throne of YAHUAH and the Lamb-YAHUSHA for their great deliverance and entrance into YAHUAH’S eternal kingdom. .
