· New
Moons are the beginning of the Biblical Month.
· New
Moons are the monthly time for reconnecting with Yahweh and family.
· New
Moons are special days for prayer and worship, in fact, Yahweh answers
prayer requests especially on both New Moons and Sabbaths. It has been said
that Yah does not let the sun go down on the New Moon or the Sabbath
before He answers the prayers that ascend before His Throne on these days.
· Work may
be done on New Moon days, because they are not Sabbaths.
· The only
New Moon which is also a Sabbath, is the Feast of Trumpets, according to
Leviticus 23:23-25.
· In the
time of Amos, there was no buying and selling on New Moon days – thus there is
a good suggestion here that one shouldn’t buy or sell on them now.
· New
Moons are set apart days where we are called to spend prayerful consideration
of Heaven’s Sacrifice and what our Salvation cost.
· New
Moons are still to be kept by God’s people today, and will be kept by the
saints into sinless Eternity.
· As we
saw in our Study of Exodus 12:2 (Statutes 215-216), the first New Moon of the
year (which is also the true New Year’s Day) is Abib Day 1, which is the
first New Moon following Tekufah Nisan (Vernal Equinox).
