Unveiling the Truth: Debunking the Lunar Sabbath Theory - Blog #3 /16 - The transition from one month to the next

The transition from one month to the next presents a significant problem with the Lunar Sabbath theory. According to this theory, the count resets each month, disrupting the consistent 7-day cycle. This raises the question: What happens on the extra days between months?

Proponents of the Lunar Sabbath theory argue that the first and the 30th day of the month are neither workdays nor Sabbath days but are treated as transition days or non-days. Some even suggest that a day is only considered as such when the moon is visible. So, when the moon is hidden or dark, these days are neither workdays nor Sabbath days, but are simply considered non-days.

However, there is no biblical basis for this concept of non-days. The Bible provides instructions for workdays and Sabbath days, but it does not mention these so-called non-days. As stated in Exodus 20:8-11, we are commanded to remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. We are to labor for six days and do all our work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord our God. In it, we shall do no work.

This pattern of working for six days and resting on the seventh day is consistent throughout the Bible. There’s no mention of nine days or any instructions for what to do on these extra days between months. If these were workdays, then you would have anywhere from 7 to 9 days between Sabbaths. If they were rest days, then you would have two to three rest days in a row before you start your workdays again. In either case, this does not fit the pattern established in the Bible.

Furthermore, if the first day of the month is a Sabbath, then you only have one workday between the 29th and the 1st. This doesn’t align with the command to work for six days and rest on the seventh.

In the beginning, God established the Sabbath. The moon was not created until the middle of the week. So, we can safely assume that the first Sabbath was not based on the moon, but simply on counting days.
