The Lunar Sabbath by Arnold Bowen Introduction The evidence provided here will prove that the true

weekly seventh day Sabbath of the Scriptures is observed on the same days of the moon each month, (NOT by Julian or Gre orian !alendars" and that is on the #th, $%th, &&nd, and &'th( The author offers a )$*,*** reward to anyone who can pinpoint a weekly Sabbath on any other day than by the moon( Seventy two weekly Sabbath days, observed by the +oly men of old, have been pinpointed in scriptures and every one of them is on either the #th, $%th, &&nd, or &'th day of the moon( This is no coincidence, the reason for this is that they never counted the day of the New moon when countin out the si- workdays of the week( The New moon is a worship day all by it.s self and is not counted when countin out the week( The ori inal months were by the moon and not /ust a count of 0* or 0$ days and the ori inal weeks were counted from the New moon and NOT by today1s pa an 2planetary week1 as we all were tau ht( The truth is sometimes stran er than fiction( The ates of +is house were to be shut durin the si- workdays and open on the Sabbaths and New moons, which proves that the New moon day is NOT one of the 3 work days of the week( (45( 637$"( (45ekiel 637$80$ Thus saith The 9aster :+;+, the ate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the si- workin days, but on the Sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the New moon, it shall be opened( 888888but the ate shall not be shut until the evenin ( <ikewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this ate before :+;+ in the Sabbaths and in the New moons"( =>nd in the be innin s of your months= etc. The day of the New moon was a worship day (Isa( 337&0" and was not counted as one of the si- work days of the week( See also Num &#7$$8$6, Isaiah 66:23, >nd it shall come to pass, that from one New moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith YHWH.
