The Lunar Sabbath theory posits that all appointed times are based on the moon. However, this is not entirely accurate. While some appointed times are indeed based on the moon, others, such as Passover, which falls on the 14th day of the first month, are not.
Yahuah’s commandment instructs us to count seven Sabbaths, or 49 days, to Shavuot, also known as Pentecost. This is always on the day after the seventh Sabbath, the 50th day. If Yahuah had intended for us to observe Shavuot on the 15th day of the third month, He would have commanded us to do so. However, He instructed us to count days.
Counting the days to Shavuot underscores the continuous seven-day cycle that does not reset each month. Counting seven Sabbaths must always equal 49 days because Shavuot is always on the 50th day, the day after the seventh Sabbath.
Lunar Sabbath proponents, recognizing this issue, have attempted to work around it by counting seven Sabbaths, which amounts to more than 49 days on the lunar calendar when you consider the reset days. They then count an additional 50 days on top of that, placing their Shavuot about seven weeks later than everyone else.
However, when they do this, they do not land on the day after the seventh Sabbath. In most cases, they don’t land on a day after any Sabbath. This is a significant problem because the scripture specifically states that Shavuot is on the day after the seventh Sabbath.
Leviticus 23:15-16 says, “And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed. Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall offer a new grain offering to Yahuah”.
This discrepancy is very significant because when you count only seven weeks, the grain is at the right stage to begin harvesting. But if you count seven Sabbaths, then add fifteen more days, the grain is seven weeks past the time for harvest. This is a major issue.
Likewise, the Sabbath command is not based on the lunar cycle. It is determined by counting. Therefore, the celebration of First Fruits and the counting of the Omer leading to Shavuot, or the Feast of Weeks, is a significant event in the biblical calendar. This period, spanning seven weeks plus one day (a total of 49 days), is rooted in Yahuah’s unchanging Word and rhythm.
