If I understand you correctly, you begin your count with the sighting of the new moon. And every seven days thereafter you set aside your observance of the memorial of the Sabbath.
Is this correct?
for He pardons much. 8“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares YHVH. 9“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts. 10“For as the rain comes down and the snow from the heavens and do not return there, but water the earth and make it bring forth and bud and give seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
I do believe that gathering is vital [Torah instructs all to do it] to have iron be sharpening, a detailed process of Ruach's working out in each of us, iron. We fear not for He has established all things under His feet, the throneroom in Heaven! Let's be diligent and found not wanting.
YHWH, ABBA and my all in all, I pray You grant us the wisdom from above to be in shalom with eachother as we seek to honor Your established WAY! Bring truth and not division and as we pray for shalom to Yerushalayim and Your Mountain of restoration let us be still and KNOW You gather us in time of Righteous understanding, YSHVH is high and lifterd up so we are in good standing as we seek Your Wonderful Way, oh how I love THEE alone and give not my esteem to another! I thank You with unchangeable mercy which You alone have bestowed upon me and my house, Your temple! Bless all Your people for I sense that preparation in heart is near to be all You have said, I shout with meeknes and tremble befor You my LIVING WITNESS! Amein, even so El YSHVH Come!
I am observing, after investigating thousands if not more, idea's of mankind and the honest answer comes through Ruach haQodesh [Ya'akov 3, 13Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good
behaviour his works in meekness of wisdom. 14But if you have bitter jealousy and selfseeking in your hearts, do not boast against and lie against the truth. 15This is not the wisdom coming down from above, but it is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. 16For where jealousy and self-seeking are, there is confusion and every foul deed.
17But the wisdom from above is first clean, then peaceable, gentle, ready to obey, filled with compassion and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
30 days approximate cycle doesn't give us a pattern as we see everyone following, because 7 doesn't divide equally into 30. Elohim doesn't need us, we need Him and His forthcoming in wisdom. I asked Him how can we know and be assured, He brought David and Yonathan [1 Shemu'El 20, others also to be sought out by each of us, a requirement which is written on all hearts to honor in YHVH]. The sky has always revealed His handiwork and knowledge has always been a snare. Mishle 25.1-3 YHVH says, 2It is the esteem of Elohim to hide a matter, And the esteem of sovereigns to search out a matter. 3 The heavens for height and the earth for depth, But the heart of sovereigns is unsearchable.
Truly YHVH has established or as it may be, patterned, the fashion we are to observe. The fourth day of creation has not changed ([David shows it, Yonathan and YeshaYahu - in ways that are revealed in written form for us to leearn with a diligent time and focus on YSHVH, putting aside the teachings of man, doctrine[s]) seasons appointed for us to find truth when all the disarray seems to be among us, YHVH NEVER FAILS AND HIS TIME PREVAILS.
1st evidence to me was the seemingly immense words that Strong's shows as contradicting [afterall, man/wo-man is proned to errous ways right! I surrender daily in the mind of human ways, my own and other teachings to learn EloHim brings into mind and it is so clear! Amein HalleluYah to Esteem be YHVH!
Leviticus 23:4 says, “‘These are the appointed times [Moed] of the LORD, holy convocations [4744 Mikra] which you shall proclaim at the times appointed for them”. The Parent Root of the word Moed is the word ED (Ayin-Dalet) which means Witness. According to the Law, a single witness is not enough to establish a truth, but by the testimony of two or more witnesses a fact may be confirmed. The Hebrew word Mikra means convocation or calling together. My opinion is that the people of God should gather at the appointed times to proclaim YHWH’s truth. We are Yeshua’s witnesses. Messiah said, “you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth" (Acts 1:8). In addition, Acts 2:1 says, “When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place”. The believers in Yeshua were all gathered for Shavuot.
