The Creator's Luni-Solar Calendar Outlawed

he act of outlawing the calendar the Creator established at Creation is a deed of such heaven-daring defiance that it is held up in scripture as one of the most treasonous acts against the government of Heaven. The Bible reveals that Lucifer's stated goal to establish his own times of worship was one of the main areas in which he wanted to be like the Most High. (See, Battle of the Mo'edim.) This right is also claimed by the little horn power of Daniel seven: "He shall insult the Most High, he shall torment/wear out the holy ones of the Most High, and he shall attempt to change the calendar and the ordinance" (Daniel 7:25, Knox' translation.)

The Roman Catholic Church is very open that she is solely responsible for changing the Sabbath to Sunday; a day which bears no divine credentials whatsoever. In a series of articles, published in The Catholic Mirror, the office of Cardinal Gibbons made a compelling case against the inconsistency of Sunday-keeping Protestants. In the following passage, the Catholic Church is adamant that she is responsible for this change:

Chief amongst their [Protestants'] articles of belief was, and is today, the permanent necessity of keeping the Sabbath holy . . . The keeping of the Sabbath constitutes the sum and substance of the Biblical theory . . . [But the irony is] that whilst the Pharisees of old kept the true Sabbath,(1) our modern Pharisees [Sunday-keeping Protestants], counting on the credulity and simplicity of their dupes, have never once in their lives kept the true Sabbath which their divine Master kept to His dying day, and which His apostles kept, after His example, for thirty years afterward . . . .

The history of the world cannot present a more stupid, self-stultifying specimen of dereliction of principle than this [Protestants keeping Sunday while claiming to abide by sola scriptura.] The [Protestant] teacher demands emphatically in every page that the law of the Sabbath be observed every week, by all recognizing it as "the only infallible teacher," whilst the disciples of that teacher have not once for over three hundred years observed the divine precept! . . . All the Biblical sects occupy the same self-stultifying position which no explanation can modify, much less justify.

How truly do the words of the Holy Spirit apply to this deplorable situation! "Iniquitas mentita est sibi" – "Iniquity hath lied to itself." Proposing to follow the Bible only as teacher, yet before the world, the sole teacher is ignominiously thrust aside, and the teaching and practice of the Catholic Church – "the mother of abominations," when it suits their purpose so to designate her – adopted, despite the most terrible threats pronounced by God Himself against those who disobey the command, "Remember to keep holy the Sabbath."

. . . The Catholic Church for over one thousand years before the existence of a Protestant, by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday . . . The Protestant world at its birth found the Christian Sabbath too strongly intrenched to run counter to its existence; it was therefore placed under the necessity of acquiescing in the arrangement, thus implying the Church's right to change the day, for over three hundred years. The Christian Sabbath is therefore to this day, the acknowledged offspring of the Catholic Church . . . ." (2)

A question frequently asked when a person is first confronted with the truth of a change in calendars is, "So, when was this switch made?" Sabbatarians have long pointed to Constantine's "Sunday Law" as the time when the change occurred. It has been assumed that the substitution was merely Sunday for Saturday. However, Constantine's Sunday law was far more deceptive and diabolical than exchanging one day for another in an already existent calendar. Nor was it a mere rearrangement of the calendar. The Creator's entire system of luni-solar calendation was outlawed and the pagan Julian calendar was put into place by civil legislation. The reason: temporal expedience on the part of the emperor; political ambition on the part of the Bishops.

In the early part of the fourth century the emperor Constantine issued a decree making Sunday a public festival throughout the Roman Empire. The day of the sun was reverenced by his pagan subjects and was honored by Christians; it was the emperor's policy to unite the conflicting interests of heathenism and Christianity. He was urged to do this by the bishops of the church, who, inspired by ambition and thirst for power, perceived that if the same day was observed by both Christians and heathen, it would promote the nominal acceptance of Christianity by pagans and thus advance the power and glory of the church. (3)

The calendar change law unified the empire and established the papacy in a position of power.

Little by little, at first in stealth and silence, and then more openly as it increased in strength and gained control of the minds of men, "the mystery of iniquity" carried forward its deceptive and blasphemous work. Almost imperceptibly the customs of heathenism found their way into the Christian church . . .

This compromise between paganism and Christianity resulted in the development of "the man of sin" foretold in prophecy as opposing and exalting himself above God. That gigantic system of false religion is a masterpiece of Satan's power – a monument of his efforts to seat himself upon the throne to rule the earth according to his will. (4)

This change of calendar took place at the council of Nicaea in 321-324 A.D.

Up until the Council of Nicaea, the Christian Easter, especially in the East, had been celebrated for the most part at the time of the Jewish Passover, and "indeed upon the days calculated and fixed by the Sanhedrin in Judaea for its celebration."(5) On the contrary, in Europe, "some earlier, some later, were intercalating the months . . . The Europeans were placing their cycle at the equinox, and were celebrating the Passover on the next full moon after the equinox."(6) These contentions had agitated the churches of Asia since the time of the Roman bishop Victor, who had persecuted the churches of Asia for following the "14th-day heresy" as they called it, in reference to the Passover.(7) But at the Council of Nicaea, "the last thread was snapped which connected Christianity with its parent stock."(8) The future Easter observance was to be rendered independent of Jewish calculation according to these words, which have been attributed to Constantine:

"Henceforward let us have nothing in common with this odious people; our Saviour has shown us another path. It would indeed be absurd if the Jews were able to boast that we are not in a position to celebrate the Passover without the aid of their rules."(9, 10)

This is a civil law enforcing the pagan calendar. Calendars calculate time and at the Council of Nicaea it was determined to remain independent of Jewish calculation. Changing the way time is calculated will affect when the Sabbath falls. Again, this was not merely a rearrangement of an existing calendar. The law made it illegal to use the Biblical luni-solar calendar and it persecuted those who still tried to use it.

In subsequent years, the Jews went through "iron and fire."(11) The Christian [papal Roman] emperors forbade the Jewish computation of the calendar, and did not allow the announcement of the feast days. Graetz says, "The Jewish [and apostolic Christian] communities were left in utter doubt concerning the most important religious decisions: as pertaining to their festivals."(12) The immediate consequence was the fixation and calculation of the Hebrew calendar by Hillel II.(13)

Being unable to communicate among themselves and having to go underground in their observances, led the Jews to "fix" the calendar. They tied it to the new moon nearest the vernal equinox. It was now independent of any barley harvest. This practice explains why the Jewish feasts of today are typically one month too soon. This is also why in 1844, the Jews observed September 23 as Day of Atonement rather than October 22. When mocked for insisting on a date that was contrary to that observed by the Jews themselves, the Millerites with confidence could say: "Every scholar knows that we are correct according to the original luni-solar reckoning."  (Refer to article, Millerite Use of the Luni-Solar Calendar)

The decrees of Nicaea "destroyed the Temple of the Law in Judea," as it were, and the ancient regulation of Moses for harmonizing the course of the moon with that of the sun was ultimately replaced by calculations involving the vernal equinox,(14) after which the nearest full moon was chosen to be the paschal moon. From this equinoctial point, the church built up her ecclesiastical calendar and its Easter feast. It is easy to gloss over the real significance of the Council of Nicaea and its bearing upon the Jewish system of time, for though the church desired to depart from Jewish calculation, and to adopt a movable feast,(15) yet in the end, it turned out that both the Jewish and Roman Catholic festivals came to be computed from the same point of time . . . the vernal equinox. Although it is clear that the responsibility for this change rests with the bishops of Nicaea, yet, according to Clavius, the church merely enjoined that which had been sanctified by the ancient Roman Pontiffs:

"The Catholic Church has never used that [Jewish] rite of celebrating the Passover, but always in its celebration has observed the motion of the moon and sun, and it was thus sanctified by the most ancient and most holy Pontiffs of Rome, but also confirmed by the first Council of Nicaea."(16, 17)

When the term "Roman Pontiffs" is heard, "pope" is generally what is thought. But the ancient "holy Pontiffs of Rome" here mentioned referred to the original pagan heads of the Babylonian religion. In fact, even the title Pontifex Maximus, now used exclusively by the pope, originated in Babylon.(18)

The spirit of concession to paganism opened the way for a still further disregard of Heaven's authority. Satan, working through unconsecrated leaders of the church, tampered with the fourth commandment also, and essayed to set aside the ancient Sabbath, the day which God had blessed and sanctified (Gen. 2: 2, 3), and in its stead to exalt the festival observed by the heathen as "the venerable day of the sun."(19)

Seventh-day Adventists have been mistaken in assuming that the only change made was a change from Saturday to Sunday. According to David Sidersky in his Astronomical Origin of Jewish Chronology, "It was no more possible under Constance to apply the old calendar."(20)

Under the reign of Constantius (337-362) the persecutions of the Jews reached such a height that . . . the computation of the calendar [was] forbidden under pain of severe punishment.(21)

The whole world has wondered after the beast – even modern Jews themselves have settled upon a cycle that follows a regulation of the Roman Catholic Church.

It should be recognized and made perfectly plain that the plan of the church and of the modern Jewish calendar as well, to regulate the Passover with reference to the position of the sun at the spring equinox, and of the full moon next after, has to be referred back, according to Clavius, to the "most ancient and most holy Roman Pontiffs," and has no connection at all with the original Mosaic command.(22, 23)

The calendar now in use, named after Pope Gregory XIII, is but a continuation of the old pagan solar calendar implemented by Julius Cæsar in 46 B.C. and adopted into the church by the Council of Nicaea.

The differences between the "full-moon-of-barley-harvest" Mosaic rule, and the "first-full-moon-after-the-vernal-equinox" Nicaean regulation of the church are vital. Though both were featured by a period of time, which was to be marked by the first light of the full moon, yet the barley-harvest period did not always coincide with the equinoctial (24) and both rulings were wide apart in character, purpose, and meaning. This will be seen by the following outline:

Barley Harvest Moon

1. A command of Moses for Jewish Time.
2. Only one moon.
3. A permanent and regular control of Jewish feasts.
4. Coincided with "first month," or Nisan.
5. A sure index to the crucifixion Passover. 

Equinoctial Moon  

1. A decree of Nicaea for the church calendar.
2. Could be two moons.
3. A very irregular index to the time of Easter.
4. Coincided with the sign, Aries, and often with Adar.(25)
5. Not the paschal moon which marked the death of Christ.

Of these two methods of determining a festival feast, the barley harvest has been commonly regarded as a period too elastic to represent an actual point of time. But be it noted, that the controlling conditions relating to the barley-harvest moon in the time of Christ were as exact, if not more so, than those which have thus far governed the vernal equinox in its control over Easter. The time of barley harvest in the Ashes-Valley field across the Kidron was remarkably accurate and permanent in its regulation of the passover festival. The latter rain extended into the first week in April, and very quickly thereafter the barley would ripen. Into this defined and limited period one full moon only could occur.(26)

Three conditions: 1) the ending of the latter rain, 2) the regular period of the ripened barley, and 3) the fulling of the one moon possible in that limited time after the first week in April - exactly determined the paschal feast and all the other festivals of the Jewish year. The results were dependable and specific. This was the rule which Moses had commanded. It persisted to the generation in which Christ came, and definitely was followed by the Jews until the time of their general dispersion.(27) These facts lead to one vital conclusion: that the Jewish year in the first century of the Christian era was governed by the barley harvest moon specification which had been ordained of God, and upon which the application of astronomy in relation to the crucifixion year is definitely and consistently dependent. (28)

Of course, the other differing characteristic between the two calendars is that the pagan calendar provides a continuous weekly cycle, while the Mosaic calendar has the weekly cycle start over each month with the observation of the new crescent moon.

Satan, who hates the divine law, not only thought to change "times and laws" – he has done it. There can be no question but that the little horn has done exactly what he thought to do and by observing a Saturday Sabbath, Jews and Saturday-keeping Sabbatarians have, unknowingly, paid homage to that power which thought to (and did) change "times and laws." The Sabbath is more than a memorial of creation - it is a sign between Yahuwah God and His people. It is a sign of their loyalty to Him, and of His ability to make them holy.(29) The Sabbaths are the Creator's appointed times to meet with His people and sanctify them. When believers meet with the Father at His appointed time, on His appointed day, He fulfills His part of the covenant - He does for them that which they cannot do for themselves. Satan has sought to disrupt this by substituting a calendar that designates a spurious sabbath. And he has done it so successfully and so long ago, that were it not for the mercy of Yahuwah, no one would have ever seen it.

Yahuwah's luni-solar calendar has been set aside and a pagan, solar calendar accepted in its place. The prophecies of Daniel warned of this. The "little horn" spoken of in Daniel is a symbol of the papacy. Daniel 7:25 clearly spells out just what this power would do: "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."

The "time, times and the dividing of time" refers to the 1260 years of papal supremacy that stretched from A.D. 538  to 1798. Because it is prophetic time (a day equals a year), it is broken down this way: 1260 days = 1260 years. Or, said another way, 1260 days = 3 1/2 years in literal time. A "time", then, is a year. This text reveals that the little horn would think to change years. The law, of course, refers to Yahuwah's law. What hasn't been recognized is that the little horn has indeed changed years - how they are calculated.

Knox' translation of Daniel 7:25 makes it even more clear: "He shall insult the Most High, he shall torment/wear out the holy ones of the Most High, and he shall attempt to change the calendar and the ordinance . . . ."

Emperor Constantine, at the Council of Nicaea, changed both paganism and Christianity by combining them into a new organism. The true luni-solar calendar was forcibly eliminated and the pagan/Julian calendar with its continuous cycle of weeks was exalted and supported by the Church/State. So was born the Papacy, and so was lost the true calendation instituted by the Creator Himself at Creation. The darkness of ignorance began to enshroud the world.

This is much more than dry, ancient history. This has huge import for the last generation who has been warned:

History will be repeated. False religion will be exalted. The first day of the week, a common working day, possessing no sanctity whatever, will be set up as was the image at Babylon. All nations and tongues and peoples will be commanded to worship this spurious sabbath. This is Satan's plan to make of no account the day instituted by God, and given to the world as a memorial of creation.(30)

Those who love the Sabbath need to know the history of the Christian church. This is vital because the devices Satan has successfully used before against the true Church, he will use again. The Great Controversy was written with the express purpose of shedding light on the future, not the past.(31)

In the great final conflict, Satan will employ the same policy, manifest the same spirit, and work for the same end as in all preceding ages. That which has been, will be, except that the coming struggle will be marked with a terrible intensity such as the world has never witnessed. Satan's deceptions will be more subtle, his assaults more determined. If it were possible, he would lead astray the elect. Mark 13:22, R.V.

As the Spirit of God has opened to my mind the great truths of His word, and the scenes of the past and the future, I have been bidden to make known to others that which has thus been revealed -- to trace the history of the controversy in past ages, and especially so to present it as to shed a light on the fast-approaching struggle of the future . . .

In these records we may see a foreshadowing of the conflict before us. Regarding them in the light of God's word, and by the illumination of His Spirit, we may see unveiled the devices of the wicked one, and the dangers which they must shun who would be found "without fault" before the Lord at His coming.

. . . It is not so much the object of this book to present new truths concerning the struggles of former times, as to bring out facts and principles which have a bearing on coming events. Yet viewed as a part of the controversy between the forces of light and darkness, all these records of the past are seen to have a new significance; and through them a light is cast upon the future, illumining the pathway of those who, like the reformers of past ages, will be called, even at the peril of all earthly good, to witness "for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ."(32)

The Great Controversy is far more than just a history book - it, the entire book, gives a view of "the fast-approaching struggle of the future" and it does this by unveiling "the devices of the wicked one." It shows the "dangers which they must shun who would be found ‘without fault' before the Lord at His coming." It would be well for all to study it more with this in mind.

Life spans today are so short that it has worked to Satan's advantage. This whole change of calendars took place nearly 1,700 years ago! The words of Ellen White have great force when seen in the light of this ancient change of calendars:

There is no excuse for anyone in taking the position that there is no more truth to be revealed, and that all our expositions of Scripture are without an error. The fact that certain doctrines have been held as truth for many years by our people, is not a proof that our ideas are infallible. Age will not make error into truth, and truth can afford to be fair. No true doctrine will lose anything by close investigation.(33)

Worshipping on a wrong day, unsanctified by the Creator, is an abomination that desolates the soul. It directs one's worship to a false god: he who, in heaven, declared his intention to be like the Most High. The words of Joshua still apply today: "Choose you this day whom ye will serve."(34)

The Golden Age $6.99 The Golden Age is Grand Space Opera, a large-scale SF adventure novel in the tradition of A. E. Van vogt and Roger Zelazny, with perhaps a bit of Cordwainer Smith enriching the style. It is an astounding story of super science, a thrilling wonder story that recaptures the excitements of SF's golden age writers. The Golden Age takes place 10,000 years in the future in our solar system, an interplanetary utopian society filled with immortal humans. Within the frame of a traditional tale-the one rebel who is unhappy in utopia-Wright spins an elaborate plot web filled with suspense and passion. Phaethon, of Radamanthus House, is attending a glorious party at his family mansion to celebrate the thousand-year anniversary of the High Transcendence. There he meets first an old man who accuses him of being an impostor and then a being from Neptune who claims to be an old friend. The Neptunian tells him that essential parts of his memory were removed and stored by the very government that Phaethon believes to be wholly honorable. It shakes his faith. He is an exile from himself. And so Phaethon embarks upon a quest across the transformed solar system--Jupiter is now a second sun, Mars and Venus terraformed, humanity immortal--among humans, intelligent machines, and bizarre life forms that are partly both, to recover his memory, and to learn what crime he planned that warranted such preemptive punishment. His quest is to regain his true identity. The Golden Age is one of the major, ambitious SF novels of the year and the international launch of an important new writer in the genre.

Robotic Exploration of the Solar System, Part 1: The Golden Age 1957-1982 $36.26 Paolo Ulivi and David Harland provide in Robotic Exploration of the Solar System a detailed history of unmanned missions of exploration of our Solar System. As in their previous book Lunar Exploration, the subject will be treated wherever possible from an engineering and scientific standpoint. Technical descriptions of the spacecraft, of their mission designs and of instrumentations will be provided. Scientific results will be discussed in considerable depth, together with details of mission management. The book will be comprehensive, covering missions and results from the 1950s until the present day, and some of the latest missions and their results will appear in a popular science book for the first time. The authors will also cover many unflown missions, providing an indication of the ideas that proved to be unfulfilled at the time but which may still be proven and useful in the future. Just like Lunar Exploration, this book will use sources only recently made available on the Soviet space program, in addition to some obscure and rarely used references on the European space program.

The Age of Wonder $13.99 The Age of Wonder is a colorful and utterly absorbing history of the men and women whose discoveries and inventions at the end of the eighteenth century gave birth to the Romantic Age of Science.  When young Joseph Banks stepped onto a Tahitian beach in 1769, he hoped to discover Paradise. Inspired by the scientific ferment sweeping through Britain, the botanist had sailed with Captain Cook in search of new worlds. Other voyages of discovery—astronomical, chemical, poetical, philosophical—swiftly follow in Richard Holmes's thrilling evocation of the second scientific revolution. Through the lives of William Herschel and his sister Caroline, who forever changed the public conception of the solar system; of Humphry Davy, whose near-suicidal gas experiments revolutionized chemistry; and of the great Romantic writers, from Mary Shelley to Coleridge and Keats, who were inspired by the scientific breakthroughs of their day, Holmes brings to life the era in which we first realized both the awe-inspiring and the frightening possibilities of science—an era whose consequences are with us still. From the Trade Paperback edition.

The Age of Everything $16 Taking advantage of recent advances throughout the sciences, Matthew Hedman brings the distant past closer to us than it has ever been. Here, he shows how scientists have determined the age of everything from the colonization of the New World over 13,000 years ago to the origin of the universe nearly fourteen billion years ago. Hedman details, for example, how interdisciplinary studies of the Great Pyramids of Egypt can determine exactly when and how these incredible structures were built. He shows how the remains of humble trees can illuminate how the surface of the sun has changed over the past ten millennia. And he also explores how the origins of the earth, solar system, and universe are being discerned with help from rocks that fall from the sky, the light from distant stars, and even the static seen on television sets. Covering a wide range of time scales, from the Big Bang to human history, The Age of Everything is a provocative and far-ranging look at how science has determined the age of everything from modern mammals to the oldest stars, and will be indispensable for all armchair time travelers.   “We are used to being told confidently of an enormous, measurable past: that some collection of dusty bones is tens of thousands of years old, or that astronomical bodies have an age of some billions. But how exactly do scientists come to know these things? That is the subject of this quite fascinating book. . . . As told by Hedman, an astronomer, each story is a marvel of compressed exegesis that takes into account some of the most modern and intriguing hypotheses.”—Steven Poole, Guardian   “Hedman is worth reading because he is careful to present both the power and peril of trying to extract precise chronological data. These are all very active areas of study, and as you read Hedman you begin to see how researchers have to be both very careful and incredibly audacious, and how much of our understanding of ourselves—through history, through paleontology, through astronomy—depends on determining the age of everything.”—Anthony Doerr, Boston Globe

The Heliosphere Through the Solar Activity Cycle $169 Understanding how the Sun changes though its 11-year sunspot cycle and how these changes affect the vast space around the Sun ??? the heliosphere ??? has been one of the principal objectives of space research since the advent of the space age. This book presents the evolution of the heliosphere through an entire solar activity cycle. The last solar cycle (cycle 23) has been the best observed from both the Earth and from a fleet of spacecraft. Of these, the joint ESA-NASA Ulysses probe has provided continuous observations of the state of the heliosphere since 1990 from a unique vantage point, that of a nearly polar orbit around the Sun. Ulysses??? results affect our understanding of the heliosphere from the interior of the Sun to the interstellar medium - beyond the outer boundary of the heliosphere. Written by scientists closely associated with the Ulysses mission, the book describes and explains the many different aspects of changes in the heliosphere in response to solar activity. In particular, the authors describe the rise in solar activity from the last minimum in solar activity in 1996 to its maximum in 2000 and the subsequent decline in activity.
