A Secret Prophetic Calendar is Hidden in Plain Sight!

Why the Biblical Lunar Calendar Unlocks God's Appointed Times

In today’s world, most people move through time governed by the Gregorian calendar—a solar-based system introduced in 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII. But this calendar, widely accepted in both secular and Christian contexts, diverges sharply from the biblical method of measuring time. When God created the heavens, He established not merely light and seasons, but divine order—a calendar written in the stars and orchestrated by the moon. For those who desire to understand the deep rhythms of God's appointed times, and especially for Christians and Mystics seeking to understand the supernatural depths of Biblical prophecy, returning to God’s original calendar is essential.

📜 God’s Timepiece: The Moon in the Bible

From the beginning, Scripture reveals that God embedded divine timing into creation itself:

“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven… for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.”
— Genesis 1:14, KJV

Here, the Hebrew word translated "seasons" is moedim, meaning appointed times—sacred festivals and prophetic markers like Passover and Yom Teruah. These are not merely agricultural or civic holidays; they are divine appointments.

“He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.”
— Psalm 104:19, KJV

The moon, not the sun, was God’s ordained governor for His calendar—especially the feasts listed in Leviticus 23.

🗓️ Why the Gregorian Calendar Is Incomplete

The modern Gregorian calendar:

• Is a solar calendar of 365.24 days.

• Was introduced to adjust Easter and fix drift in the Julian calendar.

• Removes God’s lunar markers and divorces timekeeping from divine appointments.

Most months in the Gregorian calendar have arbitrary lengths (30 or 31 days), and leap years are added via man-made calculations. There’s no biblical basis for this structure.

In contrast, a lunar calendar—specifically the biblical calendar—is structured around months that begin with each new moon. Typically, this produces 12 lunar months of 29–30 days. Every 2–3 years, a 13th intercalary month (Adar II) is added to realign with the solar year, preserving both agricultural and prophetic timing.

🌙 God’s Calendar: 13 Months of 28 Days?

A frequently referenced structure is 13 months of 28 days, totaling 364 days—very close to a solar year. While the Torah itself doesn’t mandate this exact formulation, it reflects a perfectly symmetrical model that aligns with certain Enochian and Essene calendars found among the Dead Sea Scrolls.

The point remains: God's calendar is moon-based, and tracking months by the sighting of the new moon was central to ancient Israelite worship.

“In the beginnings of your months ye shall blow with the trumpets…”
— Numbers 10:10, KJV

👁️‍🗨️ The Two Witnesses and the Hidden Day

Although the Torah does not mandate two witnesses for the new moon, later Rabbinic tradition—recorded in the Mishnah (Rosh Hashanah 1:4–1:7)—required two credible witnesses to sight the new crescent and report it to the Sanhedrin. The court would then declare the new month (Rosh Chodesh).

This tradition preserved accuracy in a calendar based on observation, not mere calculation.

It is in this context that Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets) was known as the “Day and Hour No One Knows”—because it could not begin until the new moon was sighted and confirmed. This sheds profound light on Jesus’ words:

“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.”
— Matthew 24:36, KJV

This is not about secrecy—it is about calendar reality rooted in God’s rhythm.

✡️ Why Christians Must Grasp Hebrew Mysticism

The New Testament does not abandon Jewish roots—it fulfills them. The Apostle Paul called the feasts shadows of things to come:

“Let no man therefore judge you… in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.”
— Colossians 2:16–17, KJV

To understand the shadow, we must know what cast it—the Torah, the Feasts, the Calendar, and yes, Hebrew mystical thought that illuminates prophetic patterns.

The Zohar, Sefer Yetzirah, and other Hebrew mystical texts are not Scripture—and must be tested carefully. But Christians seeking to plumb the deeper spiritual meaning of the Gospel, including its cosmic and prophetic dimensions, will benefit from understanding how Jewish mystics viewed time, light, the soul, and God's cosmic order.

🔍 Conclusion: Realigning with the Lord’s Clock

Modern Christians live by a calendar of convenience, not covenant. If we desire to be truly in sync with God’s appointed times:

1. We must study and honor the lunar calendar He established.

2. We must recognize the man-made distortions in modern timekeeping.

3. We must reawaken to the Hebraic patterns that undergird the Gospel’s mysteries.

This is not merely historical. It is prophetic. To watch as Jesus commands (Mark 13:37), we must know what we are watching for, and when.
