God's Complete Time
With this knowledge of how the Passover appears to give a witness to the Biblical existence of a lunar based calendar, read what the next Scripture says looking for the same clues.
Exodus 12:15-20 (KJV)
Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. [16] And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you. [17] And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.
[18] In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even. [19] Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land. [20] Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.
Did you notice what this Scripture says by the Mouth of Almighty God?
It says seven days from the Passover shall be eaten unleavened bread from the first day until the seventh day. And there shall be a holy convocation in the first day and no manner of work done. He stated for in this same day I brought your people or armies out of Egypt. Then He goes on clarify that “In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.”
In those seven days no leaven shall be found in the houses of Israel; they shall only eat that which is unleavened bread.
Notice that YHWH states again this the first month, and on the fourteenth day at even or evening shall be the no leaven, meaning it began the night of the 14th or the same evening of Passover the same day, 14th which the mighty Arm of YHWH brought out the children of Israel out of Egypt, the same day the Passover lamb was killed, and the same day that YHWH passed over and killed the first born in Egypt. This is the same lunar phase of the moon where by the moon is in a Full moon—exactly seven days after the quarter moon of the seven day of the lunar cycle from the new moon.
But there’s more! Here we see YHWH commanded that seven days of unleavened bread shall be eaten following the Passover, 14th day and full moon. This the feast of unleavened bread.
So we count 7 days from the Passover
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
Now seven days added to the 14th day will give you exactly 21 days.
So what did YHWH (the LORD) say? HE Said “on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.”
Look at that. It says by the mouth of YHWH “the one and twentieth day” or the 21st day at even, meaning the start of the 21st day for the evening come before morning.
Study the diagram below based upon this information.
Notice the Passover is the fourteenth day and the second Sabbath of the month or 14 days after the new moon. Or it is seven days from the last “seventh day” which was also a Sabbath again seven days after the new moon or six days beginning after the first day where light of moon was seen.
After the Passover we have the seven days of unleavened bread beginning in the even. Note the first day of unleavened Bread, after the Passover, is on the 15th day and extends to the 21st day. Both the 15th day (first day) and the 21st (last day) are holy days. Both are Sabbaths of rest according to God, YHWH.
Now look at the same diagram, but notice where the lunar moon phase was for each day.
Note that the 14th day is a Full moon and the Passover. The 15th day ( also a holy day) also appears to be a Full moon from first appearances. But by the end of the sixteenth day the shadow of the moon can be seen creeping ever so slowly across the moon. According to the faithful Lunar moon cycle, the 18th day is what is called today a “Waning Gibbous.”
Notice that on the 21st day it will be the second or “Last" Quarter moon, where on 21 to the 22 the moon will appear to be cut in half again—just as it was on the 7th day when the "first quarter" moon appeared on the first Sabbath.
We can see that second Sabbath or second Seventh day is the Full moon or the 14th of the month and exactly seven days later we the last quarter moon which is the 21st day exactly the time period that YHWH taught Moses and the children of Israel to keep the feast of the YHWH’s Passover and seven days of Unleavened Bread.
Again the 21st day is a Holy Day.
Exodus 12:16-17 (KJV)
And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you. [17] And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.
Exodus 12:19-36 (KJV)
Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land. [20] Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.
[21] Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover. [22] And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. [23] For YHWH (the LORD) will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, YHWH (the LORD) will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you. [24] And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever. [25] And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which YHWH (the LORD) will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service. [26] And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service? [27] That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of YHWH (the LORD)'s passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped. [28] And the children of Israel went away, and did as YHWH (the LORD) had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
[29] And it came to pass, that at midnight YHWH (the LORD) smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. [30] And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
[31] And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve YHWH (the LORD), as ye have said. [32] Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also. [33] And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men. [34] And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. [35] And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: [36] And YHWH (the LORD) gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
So from what we see that at evening of the 14th the lamb was killed, and by night eaten— roasted with biter herbs and eaten with unleavened bread. Again, in Exodus 12:18 YHWH said “in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even”
So we can see that no "leavened bread" was to be eaten on the Passover and forbidden till the 21st a full eight days of staying away from leaven which we know in New Testament was a type and shadow for “Sin.” So we have God putting away all sin in seven stated days after the passover.
This is a perfect time to a take a close look at the meaning of the seventh day in the Hebrew text.
The seventh day is YHWH’s Sabbath.
In Hebrew "sabbath" is the word shabbath.
shabbath, Hebrew 7676, Strong’s
shabbath, shab-bawth'; intensive from Hebrew 7673 (shabath); intermission, i.e. (specific) the Sabbath :- (+ every) Sabbath
Upon first glance this appears to have little to do with the seventh day, rather an intermission form the Hebrew word of Shabath.
shabath, Hebrew 7673, Strong’s
shabath, shaw-bath'; a primitive root; to repose, i.e. desist from exertion; used in many implication relations (causative, figurative or specific) :- (cause to, let, make to) cease, celebrate, cause (make) to fail, keep (sabbath), suffer to be lacking, leave, put away (down), (make to) rest, rid, still, take away.
One can see from the Hebrew, that the meaning of it has many diverse applications— all having to with the idea of resting, or ceasing from, or putting away, to make a rest, or an intermission.
Because God said the seventh day was a Sabbath, and for intermission, or to put away things that are not holy, such as any work or our worldly things.
Next look at the Hebrew for "seventh."
shebiy`iy, Hebrew 7637, Strong’s
shebiy`iy, sheb-ee-ee'; or shebi`iy, sheb-ee-ee'; ordinal from Hebrew 7657 (shib`iym); seventh :- seventh (time).
We see it's from another Hebrew word "shibiym"
shib`iym, Hebrew 7657, Strong’s
shib`iym, shib-eem'; multiple of Hebrew 7651 (sheba`); seventy :- seventy, threescore and ten (+ -teen).
Notice closely the Hebrew root means to be a multiple of the Hebrew “sheba” or "seven."
sheba`, Hebrew 7651, Strong’s
sheba`, sheh'-bah; or (masculine) shib`ah, shib-aw'; from Hebrew 7650 (shaba`); a primitive cardinal number; seven (as the sacred full one); also (adverb) seven times; by implication a week; by extension an indefinite number :- (+ by) seven ([-fold], -s, [-teen, -teenth], -th, times). Compare Hebrew 7658 (shib`anah).
Notice closely that the multiple of the Hebrew word is a word for the number seven, which is said in Hebrew interpretation to mean “seven as sacred full one” also notice it can also mean "seven times" or the implication “a week” in time.
Now this Hebrew Word also has a root which is most important. It is the word “Shaba.”
shaba`, shaw-bah'; a primitive root; properly to be complete, but used only as a denominative from Hebrew 7651 (sheba`); to seven oneself, i.e. swear (as if by repeating a declaration seven times) :- adjure, charge (by an oath, with an oath), feed to the full [by mistake for Hebrew 7646 (saba`)], take an oath, × straitly, (cause to, make to) swear.
The Hebrew word “shaba” is primitive root word of Sheba to mean to be complete or completion. In other words, things in sevens are complete. or things of sevens are complete.
Notice that God says, according to His Holy Word, He made everything in six days and the seventh day was the final day in this perfect time.
What we have been given is the complete or Hebrew “Shaba.” It is perfection and completion in God YHWH's Hebrew Word.
The Seventh day was not only the last day, but the day of rest. It completes a cycle that was before. Just as the seventh day is the completion of the week before hand, and is a day of holy convocation and a rest to put away that which is unholy.
Notice in what you just read above about the seven days of unleavened bread, was the completion of putting away of leaven. Leaven is a huge type and shadow for "sin" which is the transgression of God 's Law.
After the seventh day, there is no leaven or after the seventh day, no more sin!
Another way of looking at this is to realize since the Hebrew word for sheba means a primitive cardinal number; seven (as the sacred full one)
So 7 days = 7days of unleavened bread
Leaven is a type for "Sin" so 7 days of "no sin" or "putting away of sin."
But realize that that 7 = a SACRED FULL 1
So there is NO SIN after the PASSOVER!
Our lamb sacrifice by Our LORD Israel's redeemer and Savior Jesus the Christ!
The cleansing cycle of seven days is perfected and complete in an ordnance of Almighty God, the Holy One of Israel.
So you can see that the number Seven is very Sacred to God and His plan and his ordnances must therefore work only in that which is Sacred and Holy.
So it makes perfect sense that 7, 14, 21, 28 are the numbers of GOD as they are all multiples of Seven or in Hebrew "Sheba."
Note that if you add up 7+14+21+28 = all the Sabbath days in a month = 70 —a Sacred Full ONE, as it were.
Looking at this, we could perhaps see how God’s Month ends on the 28th day or the fourth Sabbath, because it is a perfect and a complete number!
