 
When Does YAH Start & End His Sabbath Day
The law pertaining to YAH 's seventh day Sabbath is one of the most sacred laws in
The Holy Scriptures. It is the first law that The Holy scriptures indicates that our
CREATOR kept.
Gen 2:1-3
:1 " Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
:2 " And on the seventh day ELOHIM ended his work which he had
made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. "
:3 " And ELOHIM blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because
that in it he had rested from all his work which ELOHIM created and made.
"
Also in Exodus 16:23 YAH states "Tomorrow is the rest of the Holy
Sabbath unto YAH "
Furthermore it is the only law that YAH has given unto us (The Children of
israEL) as a sign between him and The Children of YisraEL.
Read verses Ex. 31.12,13-17
This law also is a Perpetual Covenant, Ex. 31:16, which means that The
Sabbath is an agreement that YAH our CREATOR made with us ,
The Children of YisraEL , and himself forever. Therefore YAH commanded us
to remember the Sabbath day and keep it Holy.
Therefore it is absolutely imperative that we know when The Sabbath day starts and
when The Sabbath day ends.
Tradition
The reason this is so very important is because YAH 's law said not to add
anything to the law, now to diminish anything from it. Deuteronomy 4:2 also
read Deuteronomy 12:32 and Proverbs 30:4-5. If anyone attempts to
celebrate The Sabbath too early (Friday even) or if they attempt to celebrate it too late
(Sunday morning) , they both would have broken YAH 's law of the seventh
day Sabbath.
Learn Not The Ways Of The Heathen
The Jewish people have added a lot of new laws to YAH's laws; for
instance, the law in Deuteronomy 14:21 where it states that thou shall not
seethe a kid in his mother's milk. This law simply means not to boil or cook a kid or goat
in their own mother's milk. However the Jewish Rabbis and the Black Rabbis that follow
them , have interpreted this to mean, that one cannot eat a cheeseburger or cold—cuts
with any cheese on it. (e.g. mix meat and dairy together). Due to this fact many Jewish
people have two refrigerators, one for their meats, and another for dairy products. This is
one case of them adding to YAH 's law.
Another way the Jewish people have added to YAH's law is by attempting
to change certain Holy days by sometimes adding a day, which would make the
Holy day fall where it would cause them the least amount of inconvenience. Such as The
day Of Atonement. The Jewish people have deliberately made sure that The day of
Atonement never falls on a Friday or a Sunday as to not have these two
Holy days running together; such as The day of Atonement falling before or right after
the weekly Sabbath day. (Read the Encyclopedia of Judaism or The Jewish
Encyclopedia.)
Also to prevent Rosh Hashanah Rabbah (New Year) from falling on a Sabbath, the
Jewish Rabbis ordained that the first day of the Jewish New Year could not fall on a
Sunday, Wednesday or Friday.
Another way the Jewish Rabbi have attempted to change YAH's laws is
concerning the Seventh day Sabbath , they now have the Seventh day
Sabbath starting in the evening when it is getting dark, or becoming night, and not in the
morning as YAH has designed it to be. The problem is that most of us have
been following traditions, and not the law of our CREATOR THE MIGHTY ONE
OF YISRAEL, who is our only lawgiver (Isa. 33:22) not the Rabbi, nor
the Sanhedrin court, But YAH only!
What is Day?
After THE CREATOR , created the heavens and the earth the very first
thing that THE MIGHTY ONE OF YISRAEL defines for us was the word
day.
In the book of Genesis, THE CREATOR gave us the
undeniable and undisputable definition of the
word day.
Genesis 1:3-5
3)" And ELOHIM said , Let there be light : and there was light .
4) And ELOHIM saw the light , that it was good : and
ELOHIM divided the light from the darkness. 5) And
ELOHIM called the light day , and the darkness he called Night . And
the evening and the morning were the first day."
Notice verse 5 it reads: " And ELOHIM called the light
day, and the darkness he called Night . And the evening and the morning were the first
day . "
(That is correct, day is defined as Light Only.)
The word darkness had an entirely different definition and meaning "all
together." darkness was called Night not day (Light) Now that we
understand that THE MIGHTY ONE called the Light day , what is the
definition of the word Light The word Light comes from the Hebrew
word "ORE" which means illumination or luminary, bright, clear, day,
light.
Morning Sun
The word illumination means to cause to be made bright or clear. Also according to
Strong's Concordance of the Bible , it states in number 216 that the word "ORE" is
defined as the morning sun . Therefore if day is defined as Light and one of the
definitions of Light is the morning sun then a day begins with the very first light of
the morning.
Also remember what YAH said in Genesis 1:5 "And
ELOHIM called the Light day "and" the darkness
he called Night. This let's us know that day (Light) "and"
Night (Darkness) are two totally different periods of time.
The word and is defined in Webster's New Word Dictionary of the
American Language Encyclopedia Edition, meaning 1.) Also, in addition, moreover, as
well as. 2.) Plus , added to, (like six and two equals eight.) So what is
being said in Genesis 1:5 not only is day being defined as Light, But also, or in
addition to this fact, Darkness means something different "altogether."
Division
In addition to day and night being totally opposite of one another. According
to Genesis 1:4 YAH divided the Light (day) from the darkness (Night).
The word divide comes from the Hebrew root word (badal Strong's Concordance #914)
which means to separate or to distinguish, differ or to make a difference (this let's us
know that if YAH wanted Light and Darkness or day and Night to be
the same he would "not" have separated them. Furthermore, the main
reason YAH created the sun, and the moon, was to separate the day
from the Night. Please read Genesis 1:14-17 " And ELOHIM said ,
Let there be lights in the firmament to divide the day from the night ;
and let them be for signs, and seasons, and for days, and years : 15) And let them be for
lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so . 16)
And ELOHIM made two great lights ; the greater light to rule the day, and the
lesser light to rule the night : he made the stars also . 17) And ELOHIM set
them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth , "
It also states in Genesis 1:16 that
THE MOST HIGH, made two Great lights, the greater light (Sun) to rule the
day, and the lesser light (Moon) to rule the night. Now we all know that the Moon does
not rule the day, neither does the sun rule the night.
There are two different lights, for two different functions, to separate two
different entities, which are day and night.
THE MIGHTY ONE OF YISRAEL said if ever the sun stop's ruling the
over the day and the Moon stop's ruling over the night, that we, the seed of YisraEL ,
will cease from being a nation before Him forever. (Jer 33:25-26; Jer 31:35-36)
and we do not want that to happen!
Again, the main reason that YAH created the sun and the moon was to
divide the day from the night, as noted in Genesis 1:14-18, the main
reason YAHWEH divided the day from the night is because he did not
want them to be together, or to co-exist.
Do we dare think that THE MOST HIGH went through all of this effort of
creating the Sun and the Moon to divide the day from the night, just for
you to come along and say day is night, and night is day?
Job called the hypocrites unwise that called night, day.
Job 17:10-12
10) " But as for you all, do ye return, and come now : for I cannot find one wise man
among you . 11) My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the
thoughts of my heart. 12) They change the night into day : the light is short because
of darkness . "
Notice they change night into day , not THE CREATOR, but the
unwise, the hypocrites are the ones who change night into day, not THE
CREATOR.
Here again THE CREATOR completely separates a day from a
night. Lev 8:35 reads, " Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days , and keep the charge of
YAH , that ye die not: for so I am commanded . " The question is when did he
leave the door of the tabernacle , after seven days and seven nights or seven days and six
nights ? The correct answer is after seven days and six nights. (Remember the
day always comes first and THE CREATOR did not say in seven days and seven nights,
seven days). Also, according to the word of YAH , the night is not part of the
day, as seen in Numbers 11:32, " And the people stood up all that day, and all that
night , and all the next day…"
The Holy Prophets
All of the Holy Prophets knew the difference between day and night as noted
in the following scriptures:
Noah
Genesis 7:4, "For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth
forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made
will I destroy from off the face of the earth." Genesis 7:12 " And the rain was upon the
earth forty days and forty nights."
Moses
Exodus 10:13, " And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt,
and YAHWEHbrought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all
that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
Exodus 13:22, " He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day
nor the pillar of fire by night from before the people."
Exodus 24:18, " And Moses went in to the midst of the cloud, and
gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and
forty >nights."
Exodus 34:28, " And he was there with YAHWEH forty
days and forty nights: he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he
wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments."
Deuteronomy 10:10, " And I stayed in the mount, according to the first
time, forty days and forty nights; and YAH hearkened unto
me at that time also, and YAH would not destroy thee."
SamuEL
I SamuEL 19:24, " And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied
before SamuEL in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that
night. Wherefore they say, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
I SamuEL 28:20, "Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and
was sore afraid, because of the words of SamuEL : and there was no strength in him; for
he had eaten no bread all the day nor all the night."
Solomon
I Kings 8:59, " And let these my words, wherewith I have made
supplication before YAH , be nigh unto YAH our
ELOHIM day and night, that he maintain that cause of his
servants, and the cause of his people YisraEL at all times, as the matter shall require:"
Esther
Esther 4:16, " Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan,
and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I
also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not
according to the Law: and if I perish, I perish."
Jonah
Jonah 1:17, "Now YAHWEH had prepared a great fish to
swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three
days and three nights." Remember, day means light,
and night means to be dark.
Totally The Opposite
Genesis 8:22, " While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and
heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease." Here
everything THE MOST HIGH mentioned is totally opposite from one another.
Seedtime and Harvest, Summer and Winter, and day and Night, are
totally opposite one from another. So night is not a part of day.
Furthermore an intelligent person would never make a statement such as, " here
comes John and his family, and his wife, " Why? Because we all know that his wife is
part of his family, therefore it is not appropriate to mention her again. Likewise,
you will never read in The Holy
Scripture that YAHWEH said that it rained upon the earth forty days and
forty evenings, why? Because an evening is part of a day. But one would read
that YAH caused it to rain upon the earth forty days and
forty nights. Why? Due to the fact that as stated before, night is
totally the opposite of day.
That is why YAH said in Genesis 1:5 that the evening and the
morning were the first day, because day has already been defined as light, so if
evening and the morning were the first day, that would mean that both evening and
morning were part of the light or day period.
Evening
Evening comes from the Hebrew word ereb which comes from the idea of
covering with a texture, to grow dusky at sundown, or to converge or mix. Ends the day
when the day is intergrating or mixing with the night, before it comes
totally dark.
A day ends with evening
Many are confused because in Genesis 1:5 it said that the evening and the
morning were the first day. Therefore if one does not read and understand the
word of YAHWEH
properly they would think that a day started in the evening, and ended in the morning;
however both evening and
morning constitute a very small part of a day. In the Hebrew Scriptures Genesis 1:5
does not read like the English version of the Bible. In Hebrew version Genesis
1:5 reads: " And ELOHIM called the light day and the
darkness he called night, and there was evening (setting) and there was
morning (dawning) one day.
Here THE CREATOR is stating that a day is a period of light, and
that night is a period of darkness, and that evening and morning are parts of the
Light period, or a part of the day. Evening is where the light period ends and morning is
where the light period begins.
Here are just a few scriptures to show that evening is the part of a day when the day
is ending, not beginning.
Exodus 12:6 " And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same
month and the whole assembly of the congregation of YisraEL shall kill it in the
evening "
Now was evening part of the fourteenth day, or was it the beginning of the fifteenth
day, or was it a time that floated between the two days?
Here as well as in all of the other places in scriptures, the evening is always the last
part of a day, and never will you see one place in scripture where a day starts in the
evening. The evening here in Exodus 12:6 is a part of the fourteenth day.
Notice Numbers 28:16 " And the fourteenth day of the first month is the
Passover of YAHWEH . " Here it lets us know that evening is not the
beginning of the fifteenth day, nor is it a period between both days, but it is part of
the fourteenth day.
We know that the Passover is on the fourteenth day at even, but
Numbers 28:16 lets us know that the evening is part of that day.
(also read Exodus 12:18; Leviticus 23:5; Numbers 9:3; Joshua 5:10)
Now lets examine I SamuEL 30:17 " and David smote them from the
twilight even unto the evening of the next day ; "
Here you should notice that evening is being identified as part of the next day and not the
beginning of another day.
Exodus 16:6 " And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of YisraEL ,
at even , then ye shall know that YAH hath brought you out from the land of
Egypt . "
Not the next day, not Tomorrow, but at even, which is part of that day.
(Also read Leviticus 11:24-27,28,31-32,39-40 all of these verses will let you
know that even is not the next day, but is part of a day.
Leviticus 22:6-7 YAH states " The soul which has touched any such shall
be unclean until even , and shall not eat of the Holy things , unless he wash his flesh with
water . 7) And when the sun is down , he shall be clean , and shall afterward
eat of the Holy things ; because it is his food ."
Did you notice that YAH stated that the person shall be unclean until
even, and he shall wash his flesh with water, " and when the sun is down , "
(which means that the evening and sundown are two different periods of time) "then shall
he be clean . "
Notice in Genesis 15:17, it reads " And it came to pass, that, when the
.sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a
burning lamp that passed between those pieces." Notice that when the sun went down
that it was dark. Also II SamuEL 3:35 " And when all the people came to
cause David to eat meat while it was yet day, David sware, saying, So do
ELOHIM to me, and more also, if I taste bread, aught else, till the sun be
down." Here David informs his men that he will not eat meat that day,
until the sun be down. Why? Because that day is over. Also in
Deuteronomy 23:10-11 " If there be among you any man, that is not clean by
reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of
the camp, he shall not come within the camp: 11) But it shall be, when
evening cometh on , he shall wash himself with water: and when the sun is
down, he shall come into the camp again.
Notice at evening he shall wash himself with water, he still would not come into
the camp until the sun was down or that day was over.)
From this we understand that evening comes before darkness, night, or
sundown. evening is part of the day, and remember
YAHWEH defined the light as day, Genesis 1:5
which in the Hebrew Scripture reads, " ELOHIM called light day and
the darkness he called night, and there was evening
(setting), and there was morning (dawning) one day. Here
THE CREATOR is stating the facts. One, that a day means a
light period and that both evening and morning are
both part of the day or that light period.
YAH is not stating that a day is just from evening to
morning, nor is he stating that a day begins at evening. For
THE CREATOR will clearly show you throughout the Holy Scriptures that a
day starts in the morning, and ends in the evening.
Leviticus 7:15 YAH states: " And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace
offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered;
he shall not leave any of it until the morning . "
This scripture also proves that a day does not start in the evening , and end in the
evening. Why? Because THE CREATOR said it shall be eaten the
same day it is offered , it shall not be left until the morning. Why ?
Because a new day begins in the morning. If a day started in
the evening , the verse would read: it shall be eaten the same day it is offered ,
he shall not leave any of it until the evening.
Morning
The word morning comes from the Hebrew word "Boqer", meaning: dawn
(as the break of day), morning + day , early morning , morrow . (Strong Concordance
#1242 & 1239)
Here we find that the word day means: Dawn, Break of day, or when The day Breaks
, or Springs, or Starts.
Example:
Job 3:9 " Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark ; let it look for light , but
have none ; neither let it see the dawning of the day : "
Joshua 6:15
Dawning of a day means when a day starts, and remember dawn means the start
of a day.
Job 7:4 " When I lie down , I say , When shall I arise , and the night be gone ?
And I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day. "
The word dawning comes from the Hebrew word alah
(sc# 5927) which means to ascend, arise, or ascend up. When the day breaks ,
the night actually begins to pass away. Notice Song of Solomon 2:17, also read
Song of Solomon 4:6 which states that until the day breaks
the night shadows will flee away.
Remember that two of the main definitions for the word morning are dawn,
and the word morrow.
Night
The word night comes from the Hebrew word "Laylah" which means a
twist away of the night, night season. The night is not a part of the day , they both are two
different words, which have two different definitions, and
THE HOLY ONE OF YISRAEL totally separated them from one another.
Genesis 1:5, " And ELOHIM called the light
day and the darkness he called night."
As you can see YAHWEH called the light day and
darkness he called night. The word darkness comes from
the Hebrew word choshek, which comes from chashah, which means to be
dark—be black, be dim, and hide. The night comes from the Hebrew
word Laylah which means to twist away (the light) or night season.
The part of the 24 hour period that YAH called night is the
dark period, dark means to be black, but YAHWEH called
the light day, which means to be light.
Daybreak
Most Sabbath day observers are of the erroneous opinion that the seventh
day Sabbath starts in the evening, and that the night is the first part of a
day. But YAHWEH's Holy Scriptures condemns this erroneous
thinking.
Does night
mean day? Genesis 32:22-26, " And he rose up that night, and took his wives,
and his two women servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok. 23)
And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
24) And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of
the day. 25) And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the
hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with
him. 26) And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let
thee go, except thou bless me."
Genesis 32:26 states that Jacob rose that night. Notice that nowhere is the
night called day, nor any part of the night, called the
break of day. However, in verse 24 it states that Jacob was left alone
and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. This is
YAHWEH letting us know that the day does not break or
start until the morning, which is a part of the light or day. Also
read Genesis 1:5.
The Angel is also telling Jacob in verse 26, to let him go before the
morning light begins, because he did not want Jacob to look upon him.
In other words, day means light and the angel did not want Jacob to see
his face therefore he said let me go before the day (Light) Breaketh.
Verse 31 " And as he passed over PenuEL the sun rose upon
him."
This scripture let us know that daybreak begins before the sun rises. The
morning starts before sun rise and evening starts before the sun is
down.
Judges 16:2 " And it was told the Gazites , saying ,
Samson is come hither . And they compassed him in , and laid wait for him all the
night in the gate of the city , and were quiet all the night , saying , In the
morning , when it is day , we shall kill him . "
(notice, never is Night associated with day . Only morning is , remember
morning means dawn and dawn means break of day or day break or
Morrow.)
Judges 19:25 states, " But the men would not hearken to him: so the man
took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her
all the night until the morningday began to
spring, they let her go." Again this shows that the night was over when
day began to spring.
II SamuEL 2:32 reads, " And they took up AsahEL, and buried him in the
sepulcher of his father, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all
night, and they came to Hebron at break of day."
Remember the break of day means the period of time that the day,
begins to break forth from the night. Again break of day means the beginning
of a new day.
Yesternight
Furthermore, if one is speaking about an event that took place yesterday, one
would not say yesternight, because day (light) and night are
different. Likewise if one is speaking of an event that took place last night, one
would not say
yesterday, but yesternight.
Genesis 19:33-35 states, " And they made their father drink wine that
night and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not
when she lay sown, nor when she arose. 34) And it came to pass on the morrow,
that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my
father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with
him, that we may preserve seed of our father. 35) And they made their father
drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he
perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose."
yesternight means the past night, therefore it is quite understandable why
our foreparents would always use yesterday when they were speaking of the
day (light); for
I SamuEL 20:27 reads, " And it came to passs on the morrow, which was the
second day of the month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto
Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meet, neither
yesterday nor today?"; and yesternight when they are
speaking of the past night (darkness). Also read Genesis 31:29,42. As
you can see all of our foreparents, the Ancient YisraELites, knew the difference between
day and night; and yesterday and yesternight.
Morrow
"Macharatham" - The Next day (sc# 4283; prim root 4279)
The word morrow means the next day and I have never
found a scripture that suggests that the next day or the word morrow would start
in the evening, But every scripture referring to morrow pertains to the
next morning.
Example
Exodus 32:5-6
" And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it ; and Aaron made proclamation , and
said , To morrow is a fest to YAH 6) And they rose up
early on the morrow , and offered burnt offerings , and brought peace
offerings ; and the people sat down to eat and to drink , and rose up to play . "
(This shows that they rose up early the next morning.)
I SamuEL 19:11 " Saul also sent messengers unto David's house to watch
him , and to slay him in the morning and Michal David's wife told him, saying ,
If thou save not thy life to night , to morrow thou shalt be slain . "
Did you notice that David's wife knew that Saul's Messengers planned to kill David
in the "Morning!" and then she equated in the morning to
mean tomorrow also
remember one of the definitions of the word morning is morrow from
the Hebrew word "boqer" (sc #1242) which means dawn,
morning, and morrow. Which again proves that a day starts in the
morning.
Also Exodus 18:13 " And it came to pass on the morrow , that
Moses sat to judge the people : and the people stood by Moses from the
morning until the evening . "
Here again the word morrow equates to being in the
morning.
Now I am going to one of the main scriptures that I found over twenty years ago that
let me know that The Sabbath day started in the morning , and not in the
evening
Exodus 16:22 "And it came to pass , that on the sixth day they
gathered twice as much bread , two omers for one man : and all the rulers of the
congregation came and told Moses . 23) And he said unto them , This is that which
YAH hath said , To Morrow is the rest of the Holy Sabbath unto
YAH : bake that which ye will back today , and seethe that ye will
seethe ; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the
morning. "
Notice that on the six day of the week that YAH did not say in the
evening is the rest of The Holy Sabbath , neither did he say to night , is The Rest of The
Holy Sabbath , But YAHWEH said " dayTOMORROW IS THE REST OF
THE HOLY SABBATH UNTO YAHWEH . "
Here again we find that tomorrow relating to the morning.
dayHalleluYAH
Daily Offerings
Another way you might be able to understand when we the Children Of YisraEL
begin our days , is to notice when we offer our sacrifices.
Our people always celebrated their days from morning until
evening, or from Dawn to Dusk . For example every day the
priests were to offer burnt offerings upon the altar.
I Chronicles 16:40 " To offer burnt offerings unto
YAHWEH upon the altar of the burnt offering continually , morning
and evening , and to do according to all that is written in the law of
YAHWEH , which he commanded YisraEL . "
Now where did YAHWEH give his law for The Children of YisraEL to
offer burnt offerings daily, day by day , from morning to
evening?
Numbers 28:3-4 " And thou shalt say unto them , This is the offering made by fire
which ye shall offer unto YAH ; two lambs of the first year without spot
day by day , for a continual burnt offering . 4) The one lamb shalt
thou offer in the morning and the other lamb shalt thou
Offer at even; "
Now remember evening and morning are a part of the
day period, not the night period. Also remember THE MIGHTY ONE
commanded that we should do this day by day from
morning, in the beginning of a day, to even, when the day is
coming to an end.
Exodus 29:38-39 " Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar ;
two lambs of the first year day by day continually . 39) The one lamb
thou shalt offer in the morning ; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at
even : "
(also read Exodus 18:13-14, and II Chronicles 31:3)
All of these scriptures prove YAHWEH had his people to celebrate their
day from morning until evening.
Three Parts Of A Day
There are three parts of a day, and three parts of a night. That's
why Daniel said he prayed three times a day. You can find this in DaniEL
6:10. The three times of day are evening, morning and noon or
midday.
Psalms 55:17 reads, " evening, and morning, and at
noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice."
Noon comes from the Hebrew word Tsohar which means
light , duel, double, light, or midday. Midday means
the middle of the day, because the hottest part of the day is noon, or
midday between twelve and two o'clock. Remember the Hebrew word for
day is Yom which means hot, and all three parts of a day
represent light periods.
morning is when a day starts, Noon is the middle of a
day, and evening is when a day comes to an end. There is also
three parts of the night, and midnight is the middle of the
night. Which you can find in Exodus 12:29
It reads:
29) "And it came to pass, that at midnight YAHWEH smote all the
firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the
firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle."
Let us remember that in Gen 1:5, YAH called the light day and the
darkness He called night. If this is true, that only light can represent day and
only darkness can represent night; then why did YAH say in the latter part of
Gen 1:5 that there was evening and there was morning? Is THE
ALMIGHTY contradicting Himself? Absolutely not! ! ! This is
totally impossible and every man that thinks so, he is a liar.
The Holy Scriptures is stating that at the end of a day before another time period
called night comes in, that day must come to an end. The ending of a day is called even,
for this is the period that darkness is being integrated into the day. The point of time that
darkness dominates the light is called night and before a new day can begin, it must go
through a period of time called morning (dawning); this is the period when the light
dominates the darkness and the dark shadows flee away.
Song of Solomon 2:17 and 4:16 both read, " Until the day break,
and the shadows flee away…" What is being said here is that this day ends with
the evening and this day began with the morning or dawning. For even though the light
was the very first thing that YAH created on day one in Gen 1:4,
YAH divided the light from out of the darkness.
It is impossible for the seventh day of the week to come before the sixth day because
the sixth day was created before there was a seventh day. Likewise, it is impossible for a
night to come before the day, because the day was created before the night.
Gen 1:4-5 states, " And ELOHIM called the light day , and
the darkness He called Night . And the evening and the morning were the
first day. "
Piecing The Puzzle Together
These are some of the scriptures that I have been able to find that might cause some
of us a little difficulty understanding.
Exodus 12:42 " It is a night to be much observed unto
YAHWEH for bringing them out from the land of Egypt : this is that
night of YAHWEH to be observed of all the children of YisraEL in
their generations . "
Here this scripture as well as a couple others state that they came out of Egypt by
night such as: Deuteronomy 16:1 "
Observe the month of Abib and keep the Passover unto YAH thy
ELOHIM ; for in the month of Abib , YAHWEH brought thee forth
out of Egypt by night. "
But according to Exodus 12:51 " And it came to pass the
selfsame day , that YAHWEH did bring the Children of
YisraEL out of the land of Egypt by their armies. "
So therefore the question that must be asked is:
Did YAH bring YisraEL out of the Egypt by the night, or in the day?
Are night and day the same object?
The answer to the first question is we came out of Egypt in that Night on that
Selfsame day. The answer to the second question is no night and day are not the
same.
We the Children of YisraEL came out of Egypt on the night of the
. But anytime we do an event in a night our history will
always record it on that selfsame day. Why?
The answer is in Genesis 1:14 it reads " And ELOHIM said , let
there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night ;
and let them be for signs , and for seasons, and for days, and
years . "
Did you notice lights were given for signs, seasons, days and
years. However they were not given for nights. Therefore
anytime an event happens in the night it was always given the date of the previous
day. No where in the scriptures have I found single event that occurred in the night
that was given a Date. The dates were always attached to the day and never
the night, because it was lights that were given to us for days, seasons, signs, and
years. Not the Darkness nor the Nights.
Another scripture is Leviticus 23:32 on the Day of Atonement we
were commanded to Celebrate this particular Sabbath , from even to
even. This scripture seems to confirm the erroneous belief that a day starts in
the evening. But upon closer examination of this verse , on the day of Atonement we
notice that it did not say that this is the manner in which we would celebrate our
Sabbaths, with an s on the end of it, but this is how we were to celebrate this
particular Sabbath. There is no s at a the end of Sabbath.
This was a totally different Sabbath from all of the rest of our Sabbath days. On this
Sabbath we were told not to do any work, and not to eat or drink, to afflict ourselves from
even to even. This law did not govern any other Sabbath other than the
Day Of Atonement.
Another Scripture is Nehemiah 13:19 " And it came to pass, that when the
gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the Sabbath , I commanded that the gates
should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the Sabbath: and
some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the
Sabbath day . "Here this verse is not saying when it started to become dark, at even the
Sabbath began, but on the contrary, it became dark and the Sabbath had not yet came in.
Which proves a new day does not begin in the evening.
If there are any other scriptures that might cause you troubles please call me Mowreh Elesha YisraEL personally. Thank you.
The New Testament
I personally do not regard The New Testament as the word of THE
CREATOR, because all True Hebrew YisraELites know that there is no ELOHIM
but YAHWEH , and there is no ELOHIM (God) beside him. And
we also know that THE MIGHTY ONE does not speak in The New Testament
at all to anyone.
Nevertheless, the people who wrote The New Testament know that in order to
deceive our people that they had to know the culture of our people. Therefore they knew
what a day was.
Read:
Matthew 28:1 "In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first
day of the week. (Meaning that the first day of the week came in the
morning or dawning of the day when light came in.)
John 11:9 " Are their not twelve hours in the day?" (Here we learn that they
acknowledge a 24 hour day, twelve hours of daylight and twelve hours
of Night also read St.John 11:10.
John 20:19 "Then the same day at evening, being the first day
of the week" Letting you know that evening is a part of that day not the
beginning of a new day
Matthew 4:2 "He fasted forty days and forty nights" Letting
you know there is a difference between day & night.
Acts 23:23 "At the third hour of the night." Notice it did not say the third hour
of the day."
Revelations 21:25 " And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day, for there
shall be no night there.
Here it states that the gates of the city shall not be shut at all by day, for
then there shall not be night, letting you know that a day cannot possibly start at
night.
Even the people who wrote The New Testament knew a day did not
begin at night, and that there is only 12 hours in a day , and that the
day started in the morning.
Mark 4:35 " And the same day , when the even was
come , he saith unto them , let us pass over unto the
other side"
Here again the people knew the evening was part of the same day
and not the beginning of the following day.
Also read what YAH says in Isaiah 60:19-20; and also
EzekiEL 46:13-15.
Questions to Ponder
I will conclude by giving you scriptures I believe should answer any question that
you might have concerning day and night and When Does
YAH's Sabbath Begin and End?
- What is day? - A day represents Light (Genesis 1:3-5 and
Judges 19:25)
- What is Night? - A Night represents Darkness (Genesis 1:3-5
and Psalms 104:20) Thou makest darkness and it is
night.
- What is Evening? - Exodus 30:8 And when Aaron lighteth the
lamps at Even (Not the next day but when the day began to get dark.
- What is Morning? - Judges 16:2 When the day starts
- What does tomorrow mean? - Exodus 16:22-23 The next
morning
- What does the the next day mean? - Jonah 4:7 the next morning
- Is night considered part of the day?
Numbers 11:32 " And the people stood up all that day,
and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails : he that
gathered least gathered ten homers : and they spread them all abroad for themselves
round about the camp . "
Now ask yourself how many days did the people stand up and how many nights did
they stand up? The correct answer is two days and one night. However if a night was part
of a day then the answer would be two days and two nights.
Authors Note
It is very important that you understand that even though a day starts at morning and
ends at even, that by no strectch of your imagination am I suggesting that you treat the
even of the sixth day in the same manner as you do any other evening or night, because
they are totally different.
Why? Because if you become unclean any time after the sixth day after even has
come in, you do not have an evening before the Holy Sabbath comes to clean
yourself. Lev. 22:3-7 states, " Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed
among your generations, that goeth unto the Holy things , which the children of YisraEL
hallow unto YAH , having his uncleanness upon him , that soul shall be cut off
from my presence : I am YAH . 4) What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a
leper , or hath a running issue ; he shall not eat of the Holy things , until he be clean . And
whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead , or a man whose seed goeth from
him ; 5) Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing , whereby he may be made unclean ,
or a man of whom he may take uncleanness , whatsoever unleanness he hath; 6) The soul
which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even , and shall not eat of the Holy
things , unless he wash his flesh with water . 7) And when the sun is down , he shall be
clean , and shall afterward eat of the Holy things ; because it is his food . "
Also Deut 23:10 –11 reads, " If there be among you any man , that is not
clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night , then shall he go abroad out of
the camp , he shall not come within the camp : 11) But it shall be , when evening cometh
on , he shall wash himself with water : and when the sun is down , he shall come into the
camp again . " Here it is speaking of a wet dream .
Therefore , we are to treat the time period after the sixth day after evening as a very
sacred time. This time was also called the Time of Preparation. So be very
careful that you do not defile yourselves or YAH's Holy Sabbath, and prevent
yourselves from being able to keep the Holy Sabbath.
Proverbs 3: 5-7
5) " Trust in YAH with all your heart ; and lean not unto your own
understanding . 6) In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths . 7)
Be not wise in thine own eyes : fear YAH , and depart from evil . "
May the love of YAHWEH be upon you,
Elesha.
