13th Moon


(see Sabbath, Sabbaths, New Moon, New Year, High Holidays, Polar Configuration, Calendar Changes, Lunar Cycle Change)

In YHWH Elohim’s calendar we are to use the sun and the moon to determine when our appoints with Him are.

Genesis 1:14 And God [Elohim] said, Let there be LIGHTS [SUN and MOON] in the firmament of the heaven to DIVIDE the DAY FROM the NIGHT; and let them be for signs, and for SEASONS [MOED: appointed times/meetings], and for DAYS, and YEARS:
Genesis 1:16 And God [Elohim] made TWO GREAT LIGHTS; the GREATER LIGHT [SUN] to rule [dominate] the day, and the LESSER LIGHT [MOON] to rule [dominate] the night: He made the stars also [stars rule nothing, but they do teach the Gospel see Mazzaroth].
Sabbaths

As can be seen with Noah and the Ark originally the year had 12 moons of 30 days each, giving the year a total of 360 days.

The flood started on the 17th day of the 2nd moon, which is also when Noah and his family entered the ark. After 150 days the ark rested on the 17th day of the 7th moon, this is one reason we know the tropical year used to be 360 days see Lunar Cycle Change and Calendar Changes. Even though the ark had landed, there was still too much water for Noah and his family to leave the ark as the waters continued to decrease until the 10th day of the 10th moon. And continued to dry from 1st day of the 1st moon till the 27th day of the 2nd moon. With the land still wet it was not possible to plant barley to be used to determine when the start of the year should be.
New Year

Around 700 BC because of the Lunar Cycle Change the tropical year stopped being 360 days and changed to around 365.24219 days. The different cultures in the world have adapted their calendars different was to handle this change. Even the Roman / Pagan / Catholic calendar has changed more than most know in trying to adapt to this calendar change. Currently most of the modern world adds an extra day about every 4 years. In the past multiple cultures would add 5 and sometimes 6 non-count days at the end of their year to fix their tropical year. Some cultures would add an extra week occasionally to sync their year with the seasons. YHWH’s people add a 13th moonth around once every three years to keep their year in sync with the tropical seasons. The reason we do this is because in Genesis 1:14,16 YHWH Elohim states we are to use the Sun and the Moon for our calendar to determine when we are to go to our appointments with Him.

There is an example of 13 moonths in the writings from the prophet Ezekiel. Below I’ve listed resources that shows this.

  • Important Coming Dates: Daniel 8: 1 Maccabees 1:54 tells us the 2300 evenings and mornings started on the 15th day of the 9th moon of the 145th year. 1 Maccabees 4:52–53 tells us the 2300 evenings and mornings ended on the 25th day of the 9th moon [Hanukkah] of the 148th year. Which gives us 3 years and 10 days. 2300 evenings and mornings is talking about the two daily lambs of the Law of Moses which still had to be done at this time see Exodus 29:38-42 and Numbers 28:1-8, more on this subject see Law of Moses. 2300 evenings and mornings is 1150 days. 1150 days is 38 moons and 10 days. Keeping in mind the Lunar Cycle Change that happened around 700 BC, 30 days represents a full cycle of a moon as it does in other prophecies. There were 38 moons between the 9th moon of the 145th year and the 9th moon of the 148th year because years 145 and 147 had a 13th Moon, which is scriptural as you can see at 13th Moon. Because of the calendar change that happened with the Lunar Cycle Change around 700 BC the Hebrews added an occasional 13th Moon where other nations handle this issue other ways including adding 5 non count days at the end of the year see Calendar Changes. The 13th Moon is needed to keep YHWH’s High Holidays in the correct season that the scriptures describe them in. If you care to look at Moons.Jerusalem.1583-2032.csv or Moons.Independence.1583-2032.csv you will see that two years of 13 Moons in a three year period happens often. Even the Hillel II Calendar has two instances in it’s nineteen year cycle, when a three year period has two years with 13 Moons, namely the 6th and the 8th along with the 17th and the 19th years. I just want to mention that the Hillel II Calendar has problems such as unscriptural postponement days to resolve the fact that 10th day of the 1st moon can not be a weekly sabbath which is resolved with YHWH’s Lunar Sabbath and how they are using signs before they happen see Calendar Changes for additional problems. One thing to keep in mind with the 2300 evenings and mornings is the fact that 23 is symbolic of judgement and restoration (see The Significant Meaning Of The Number 23 In The Bible), which both meanings are playing out in the prophecy of 2300 evenings and mornings.
