the morning and evening sacrifices for a good reason. They could observe the Sun and<br />

Moon as they rise on the eastern horizon in the morning and evening oblations.<br />

By reviewing the useful purposes of the creation lights, it is easy to see how<br />

important an observable calendar is to a believer determined to follow in submissive<br />

obedience to Yah’s great plan. There is no substitute for the principle of submissive<br />

obedience to our Creator's plan for His people.<br />

This first month is the month that crops spring forth from the Earth and barley in<br />

Yisrael is in its young, tender stage before harvest. But without any knowledge of the<br />

barley crop in Yisrael, people everywhere can know His calendar. The lights of Heaven<br />

were given for that very purpose: “And Elohim said, Let there be lights in the<br />

firmament of the Heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for<br />

signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:” (Gen. 1:14).<br />

CHAGS, PILGRIM FEASTS<br />

“These are the feasts of Yahuweh, even Set Apart<br />

convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.”<br />

(Lev. 23:4).<br />

The Set Apart Festivals are a time-map of Yahuweh's plan, for what He plans to do,<br />

and when He plans to bring events to fruition. They are prophetic types that proclaim<br />

His Plan and foretell the events, even before they come to pass.<br />

Our modern calendar, which is patterned after the pagan calendar of Ba<strong>by</strong>lon, runs<br />

from January through December. However, the calendar of lights on the Mazzaroth<br />

starts on the first New Full Moon which occurs after the spring equinox.<br />

The equinox is the zero point on the Ecliptic Plane. That is, it is the ending of the old<br />

Earth orbit and the beginning of a new Earth orbit. The season arrives with the<br />

constellation Aries that is depicted on astronomical charts under the sign of the ram.<br />

“This month shall be unto you the beginning of months it shall be the first month of<br />

the year to you.” (Ex. 12:2).<br />

Passover<br />

“In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is<br />

Yahuweh's Passover.” (Lev. 23:5).<br />

Starting with the day after New Moon day, prepare for Passover <strong>by</strong> clearing<br />

leavening and leavened products out of the household. Start with the New Moon as day<br />

one, count fourteen days to preparation day. The Passover Seder is in the evening hours<br />
