I want to preface this by saying, the purpose of this episode is not meant to condemn the Rabbis; but rather to challenge that status quo on the topic of the Biblical calendar presented to us in Exodus.
In this episode Joe and I discuss how the Hillel calendar was installed and then tweaked over the course of hundreds of years.
Fast forward to our current day, if you even hint at challenging the Rabbis on the calendar front then you are guilty of disobeying their authority, supposedly given to them in Deut 17:9.
This verse has been wildly miss-appropriated to give the Rabbis authority that trumps the very Bible itself. If this authority is granted them then they almost of unilateral authority in almost all areas pertaining to religion and daily life.
This is why Jesus challenged this idiology when it was in its infancy in the first century and ultimately was the reason why they killed him. Tradition wins at the end of the day, and what we were handed was a calendar that is based on tradition rather than Biblial truths.
This is really why God has raised up a man like Joseph Dumond to dig through the annuls of history to prove this work with archeological evidence combined with scripture in order to help us get back to Yehovah’s true calendar.
God’s calendar is based on observations and not pre-calculations and that it the first thing we have understand. When the Barely is ripe (Aviv) then you know that you are in the first month of the year base on Deut 16 and Exodus 12:2
Deu 16:1 Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.
Exo 12:2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
The Hillel calendar ends the year at Tishri, which is the seventh month of the barley calendar. So, how are we to reconcile keeping this? If we begin the year in Tishri we are disobeying the commandment of God! Do the Rabbis know better than Yehovah? Certainly not!
The point of this conversation is not to condemn the Rabbis but rather post a rebuttal to the traditions that has been handed down to us without question. We should all be asking ourselves these why we keep a calendar based off of assumptions and man made calculations.
But here is what came to me as Joe and I were discussing this, is that in Judaism they are denying the Bible by obeying the Rabbis and disregarding the barely calendar; And in Christianity, they are denying the Bible by saying that the Laws and Commandments of God have passed away, based on their interpretive traditions.
Both Christians and Jews are guilty of deny the Bible based on tradition. This is the very thing that Jesus was trying to help us to understand and yet, men on both sides of the fence are denying Him based on tradition.
Let’s get back the Bible folks and understand that God gave us a calendar to Observe, to look, to go outside and touch grass!
As we get farther into the technological age we are seeing how detached we are from knowing the times and the seasons. Now we are dependent on our phones to tell us what month/day it is. So, how does anyone feel secure in the expected coming of the Messiah? The lazy approach is, oh well, we’ll just wait for Him to return before we figure this stuff out. But that’s not what the Bible says.
The Bibles tells us that He is not coming back until the restoration of all things.
Act 3:20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
Act 3:21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
Mat 17:11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
Elijah must first come and restore all things before the return of our Messiah. This is the entire purpose of the two witnesses in Revelation. You cannot understand this, unless you understand the times and the season detailed in the Torah (Books of Moses).
There are many things that were omitted in the New Testament, because the early church were widely aware of the times and seasons, therefore there was no need to write about it. Paul tells us this in 1 Thessalonians.
1Th 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
But it won’t take them like a thief in the night, why? Because they are fully aware of the times and the seasons.
1Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
