GETTING THE BIG PICTURE

 

    "The sacred day" on the Israelite solar calendar does not start at high noon.  The 91st Day calendar teachers say that it does.  In this, they entirely miss the BIG PICTURE of the simplicity of the salvation Yahweh Almighty has secured for Adamic Israel through the cross of His only begotten son --- Yahshua (Jesus), the Christ.  That BIG PICTURE He wants us to "see" as revealed in His Word, is that He has brought us out of the darkness of sin and death and has transformed us into the glorious Kingdom of light and life in Jesus Christ.  This truth is made clear to us in Yahweh's written Word, the Holy Scriptures; and it is made clear in the performance of our daily living testimony as we start the sacred calendar day at sunset/evening (darkness begins) and finish that day in light.  Although the 91st Dayers try to twist something else out of the below verse, it can be no more distinct than what we are told in  Leviticus 23:32:

  "It shall be unto you a Sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even (the ending evening), from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your Sabbath."

  In our next section we will examine more closely the words "even" and "evening" since the 91st Dayers claim that this actually means "high noon", which of course it does not. 

    Let's read a few more Scriptures that repeat the fact of what our Saviour has done in rescuing us from our darkness of mortality to share in His light and life in Yahweh Elohim.  First we were in darkness, then we were brought into the light.

Psalms 18:28  "For thou wilt light my candle: Yahweh my God will enlighten my darkness."

Psalms 112:4 " Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous."

Isaiah 42:16  "And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness  light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them."

Acts 26:18  "To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me."

1 Peter 2:9  "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:"

1 John 2:8  "Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth."

Ephesians 5:8  "For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in Yahweh: walk as children of light:"

    Brothers and sisters,  since we are "children of light" do we really want to be part of a calendar system that is dedicated to "dividing light FROM light" (at noon), brother from brother, as the starting point of our life each and every day?  What rebellious message would we be sending to Our Father if we would engage in such a symbolic practice?  Please consider that point seriously before jumping on to the bandwagon of the 91st Dayers "noon to noon" starting point of their calendar day .

   These verses and many others teach us the BIG PICTURE.  We start in darkness, we finish in light. There are a few basic doctrines within the Bible that one has to grasp as fundamental teachings.  Consider them to be "maxims" if you will.  If a person misses these, they are lost as to proceed in any further Scriptural reasoning.  One such BIG PICTURE is to quit calling Yahweh "The Lord" for the reasons explained in the previous section. Another such BIG PICTURE is that the Bible is for Israel, to Israel, and about Israel.  Christ came only for Israel as He gives us this BIG PICTURE  in Matthew 15:24:

  "But He (Jesus) answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

  This confirmed what Yahweh had already said about this in the Old Testament book of Psalms 147:

19  "He sheweth his word unto Jacob, His statutes and His judgments unto Israel.

20  "He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for His judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye Yahweh."

  No matter how the modern corporate churches insist that the Gospel is for everybody on Earth, the fact is that only by mistranslating Bible words such as "all men", "all nations", "jews", "Judeans", "Gentiles", can they ever claim that what Jesus clearly said (He came only for Israel) is false.  The same goes for the 91st Dayers insistence that the sacred calendar day begins at high noon.  This is a total disregard for the simplest observation that the sacred calendar day starts at evening (darkness) because it heralds the BIG PICTURE that Yahweh rescues us out of that darkness!  If a person cannot grasp that most basic of understandings, then any thing else they try to explain about the calendar is from a "lost" frame of heart and mind.  It all becomes a moot point.
