Dear Brothers and Sisters in
IAUA (ee-ah-oo-ah) our Father,
Greetings on this day of preparation for the weekly Sabbath. I pray this newsletter finds you in good health and happy in the service of IAUA. This is the 22nd day of the 11th month of God's Sacred Calendar in the estimated year 6017 Anno Mundi. The Spring Holy Day season begins the New Year in about two months with Passover on the evening of the 15th day of the 1st month (Tuesday, April 15th on the 2014, Gregorian Calendar, at sunset on Monday, April 14th). The Sacred month begins on the world day after lunar conjunction and the sacred year begins with the Spring Passover Rule dates my research, and others, has determined for the Gregorian Calendar dates of God's Sacred Calendar. The Millerite Calendar (Spring New Moon Rule) is the same this year. The Calculated Rabbinical Calendar is the same in the spring this year.
Continuing with part four of excerpts from a LinkedIn discussion triggered by the worldly holiday season. The discussion shifts focus to the calendar at the base of the issue.
Mario Petrovalle Founder at E-ventist Network ( LINKEDin group ) Frank, what I get from your comment is that God follows a different calendar than most of the world, and when he does something, it will happen according to his calendar not ours. Therefore, most of us can miss the significance of something that God does, unless they understand His calendar. If this crude statement is on the right track - than can you give an example of something that did happen or will happen which we can miss unless we know God's calendar. You say is it popular with feast keepers, so I assume your answer will have something to do with the OT feasts, so can you give an example that does not relate to the OT feasts.
Jim Ayars Pastor at Clergyman and Owner, Healing Stream Ministries Frank, While it is true that Passover is based on a full moon after the Vernal Equinox, there is one more factor which affects calendrical reasoning in the 1st century -- it is the OMER/Wavesheaf. This limits how early Passover may occur. So the rule used by the Sanhedrin in the first century (2nd Temple period) was that Passover would occur on the eve of the first full moon after the first new moon which occurs on or after the Vernal Equinox (March 21). (This is also the basis for the Karaite Calendar) Thus, the earliest that Passover could occur would have been the equivalent of April 6. If the New Moon occurred before the Vernal Equinox, they added a month -- VeAdar -- which could move Passover as late as early May. It is only in post-2nd Temple Judaism that the rule changed to the first Full Moon after the Vernal Equinox. If you want a bibliographical reference for this, I'll be happy to send it.
Mario Petrovalle Founder at E-ventist Network ( LINKEDin group ) I did send a letter to Ted Wilson, but did not mention that he was promoting error in his message on Dec. 13th and 14th saying that Christ was actually born in the springtime. Instead I said that I have a page on my website that calculates his birth in the fall and I am willing to edit the page to show the correct time. I asked him to show me his study notes and scriptures that he used to calculate the birth of Christ in the spring. Here is the on-line version of the letter I sent him last week. http://www.diggingfortruth.org/article/3020/
Jim Ayars Pastor at Clergyman and Owner, Healing Stream Ministries Hmmm! So Wilson agrees with my studies. That's interesting. I can document my conclusions. I'm looking forward to seeing if he can.
Mario Petrovalle Founder at E-ventist Network ( LINKEDin group ) Jim, there is no doubt that he has the resources of the church to do a study on the time Christ was born. He might be preparing to introduce a new doctrine, and was just testing the waters, with his statements at the NY13 event. If he plans to introduce a new doctrine them we should hear from him soon enough. Personally, I don't think he will respond to my letter, and I would rather devote my efforts to my appeal then to this. It was a total surprise when I heard him say it
Frank T. Clark Website Writer/Developer at IAUA End Time Ministry Jim Ayars, You said: "Your rendition of Luke 3:23 requires a particular translation (i.e., KJV)... There is nothing in the Greek of the passage which requires Jesus to have just reached the age of 30 at His baptism. The addition insertion of the participial "began to be" is not required for the translation." Not being a "Greek expert", it took me some time to research, but I consulted two separate experts who provide a literal translation, which because it is "literal", I believe we can consider it to be more authoritative and accurate than NIV...
YLT Young's Literal Translation of the Holy Bible
LITV Literal Translation of the Holy Bible So much for the criticism of the KJV. It is not perfect but often quite accurate. I hope this does not become the battle of the dueling translations. I will say no more on this specific subject. You may certainly have the last word.
Frank T. Clark Website Writer/Developer at IAUA End Time Ministry Mario, Yes! God has His own Sacred Calendar with its Holy Days which is not the same as the worldly pagan Roman Catholic Gregorian calendar with its holidays. Not only will we miss the significance of something God does, unless we understand and follow God's Sacred Calendar, but we will not be prepared. There are numerous past and I believe future fulfillments of God's Sacred Calendar. For example, Passover at the Exodus, Pentecost at Sinai, Tabernacles at our Savior's birth when He came to tabernacle with us, Passover when he died, Wave Sheaf when He was resurrected, Pentecost when the disciples received the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. I believe Pentecost will again be the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and other past and future multiple fulfillments of each Holy Day God has set as markers from the beginning to show His plan was set before sin even began. I cannot give examples that do not relate to God's Sacred Calendar and its Yearly Sabbaths (Holy Feast Days) because it is the basis of all God does according to His plan. This is why the date of December 25 (the topic of this discussion) is so dangerous. It is the seed of corruption to conform to worldly values and ignore God's values. God's Sacred Calendar and its Yearly Sabbaths is a sanctifying influence, like the observance of all His guidance (law). Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Trying to put Christ back in Christmas is like trying to swim upstream. Depending on the strength of your effort and the strength of the downstream current you may make some headway only as long as you struggle at it. I am reminded of the words of our Savior to Paul. Acts 26:14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. Saul's zeal for Jewish tradition and the approval of the leaders was struggling against his conscience driven by the Holy Spirit. His zeal struggled so powerfully it required the intervention of the Savior to overcome it. When the zeal was turned it became just as powerful to work with the Holy Spirit. I pray that we may learn to get out of the river of conforming to worldly influence and join the transforming power of the Holy Spirit.

I am not impressed by what the leaders of any generation decide to do at any time unless they can be tested to be following God's will. I am also not impressed by what the scholars say unless it can be tested and verified by the Bible and other faithful witnesses. It is interesting to note that every date I have compared against the modern Karaite Calendar matches the Spring Passover rule and not the Spring New Moon rule. Karaite website: http://www.karaite-korner.org/holidays.shtml Another ministry which supports the Spring Passover: http://www.avoiceinthewilderness.org/bibcal/bibcal_index.html My website: http://www.sacredcalendar.info/Calendars/Calendars.html By the way, EGW says that Passover is late March or early April. Kind of disagrees with your early date being in April.
It is amazing what careful prayerful research, led by the Holy Spirit can show you. The discussion continues at great length but I am going to stop sharing it any further in the newsletter. Are you seeking facts and carefully consulting witnesses to truth or just following tradition? I pray we may all continue to seek love, peace, and unity in truth preparing for the soon coming of IAUShUO (ee-ah-oo-shoo-oh) Messiah, the Son of God.
