WLC Challenge

We offer U.S.$1,000,000 (one million)

WLC strives to follow all Biblical truth. The WLC team has made the shocking discovery from the Bible that the seventh-day
Sabbath cannot be found except on the Creator's calendar.

In His calendar, the weekly Sabbath always falls on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of each month.

Since the mark of the beast is received if one does not worship the Creator on His true Sabbath day, and because WLC
infinitely cares about our salvation and yours, WLC is offering US$1,000,000 (one million) to anyone who can
convincingly demonstrate from the Scriptures that:

the true seventh-day Sabbath has ever been recorded in the Bible to have fallen on any other dates than
those listed above.

The US$1,000,000 WLC Challenge

In order to claim the prize, WLC must be shown our error by an amount of Biblical texts equal to those that
convinced us that neither Saturday nor Sunday is the true Sabbath of the Bible.

The luni-solar calendar established by the Creator at creation has been studied very carefully (see Genesis 1:14;
Leviticus 23:2 and 3; and Psalm 104:19).

The WLC team has not accepted this new light without much prayer and study of the scriptures, and
desires to be corrected if in error.

The weight of evidence indicates that the seventh-day Sabbath always fell on the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th days of
the lunar month. The texts which have convinced WLC are as follows:
New Moon Day Separate from the 6 Work Days and the Seventh-Day Sabbath:
New Moon day is not counted as one of the 6 working days neither it is the seventh-day Sabbath; the new moon day starts
the month as day 1 making the weekly Sabbaths to fall on 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of the lunar month.
(See Ezekiel 46:1, Amos 8:5, 2 Kings 4:23, and Isaiah 66:23.)

Exodus 12:
Passover was on the 14th of the first month. The first day of the feast of unleavened bread was on the 15th which was a
Sabbath (See Leviticus 23: 4-16). This makes the Sabbaths for the first month (Abib) to have fallen on the 8th, 15th, 22nd,
and the 29th. (Exodus 12.)

Exodus 16:
Manna fell for the six week days, but did not fall on the Sabbath which fell on the 22nd, making the other Sabbaths for
that month fall on the 8th, 15th and 29th. (Exodus 16.)

Exodus 19 - Three months in a row:

Israel left Egypt the night of Abib 15. Three months later, on the very same day, the 15th, they rested before the
mount.
(See Deuteronomy 16:1; Numbers 33:3; Exodus 19:1-2.)

Pentecost:
Leviticus 23:15 and 16 tells us that Pentecost always takes place on the first day of the week on the 9 th of the
third month, thus making the Sabbaths for the third month (as recorded in Exodus 19:1) fall on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and
29th. The weekly Sabbaths for the first month (Exodus 12) and the second month (Exodus 16) fell on the same dates
also; this is not possible on today's Gregorian Roman calendar which people use to identify their worship days.
The Pentecost on which the Holy Spirit fell on the waiting disciples, also occurred on the 9th of the third month, the
first day of the week.

Annual Feasts and High Sabbaths:

Every year, the feast of unleavened bread begins on the 15th, a Sabbath. The first day of feast of Tabernacles also falls on the
15th which is called a "holy convocation" and is followed, eight days later by another "holy convocation" on the 22 nd, every
single year. Two Sabbaths always falling on the 15th cannot occur on a solar calendar.
(See Numbers 29:12-39; Leviticus 23:5, 6, 34, 35).

Entering Canaan:
The manna never fell on the seventh-day Sabbath. After entering Canaan, Israel kept Passover. The manna ceased on the
16th of Abib, the day after the Sabbath.
(See Exodus 16; Joshua 5:10-12. )
This places the Sabbath for this month on 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th.

Dedication of Priesthood:
Aaron and his sons were sanctified for seven days beginning on New Moon Day (See Exodus 40: 2, 17). On the eighth day
(which was also the 8th of the month), there was an assembly of the congregation. During the preceding seven days, they
were not to leave the tabernacle.
(See Leviticus 8:1- 13; 33-35; 9:1-5).
From Exodus 40:17 we learn that it was the first month (Abib) of the second year after their departure from Egypt, in which
Passover was to be kept; this is a double confirmation that the Sabbaths for this month fell on 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th.

Solomon:
Solomon kept the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days. On the 8th day (22nd of the month) they made a solemn assembly.
Solomon sent the people away on the 23rd, being careful not to send them away on the 22nd, the Sabbath. (See 2 Chronicles
7:8-10). This places the Sabbath for the seventh month on 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th.

Esther 9:
The 15th of the 12th month was a rest day, making the 8th, 22nd and 29th rest days as well. (Esther 9.)

Hezekiah's Reform:
The people began to sanctify on New Moon day of the first month and on the 8th of the month they went to the temple. On
the 16th of the month, they "made an end" which was the first day of the work week.
(See 2 Chronicles 29:17.)
Crucifixion:
Passover was always on the 14th of Abib. (Leviticus 23:5.)
Christ's crucifixion occurred on Passover, on the sixth day of the week. Passover always occurred on the sixth day of the
week, followed by the seventh-day Sabbath on the 15th.
(See Mark 15:42; John 19:31; Lev. 23:6, 7, 11, 15; John 19:42.)

Resurrection:
Christ was resurrected early in the morning on the first day of the week.
(Matthew 28:1; Mark 16:1 and 2; Luke 24:1; John 20:1.)
Christ was resurrected on the 16th of Abib, the first day of the week, corresponding to the wave sheaf offering, or first fruits.
(Leviticus 23:11.)
Paul called Christ the "first fruits of them that sleep" and stated that He was buried and rose the third day.
(1 Corinthians 15:3, 4 and 20-23.)
On the walk to Emmaus, the two disciples told Christ that it was the third day since the crucifixion.
(Luke 24:17-21.)
The crucifixion week establishes the weekly seventh-day Sabbath on Abib 15, thus making the 8th, 22nd and 29th days
Sabbaths as well.

Healing of the Blind Man:

The last day of the Feast of Tabernacles always falls on the 21st day of the seventh month.
(See Leviticus 23:34, 36, 39-41; Numbers 29:12; Deuteronomy 16:13-15; Nehemiah 8:13-18; Ezekiel 45:21-25.)
Christ attended the Feast of Tabernacles. (John 7:10.)
The healing of the blind man caused great anger for it was the seventh-day Sabbath. (John 9:14.)
This places the weekly seventh-day Sabbaths on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of the month yet again.

Paul's Journey:
The first day of the work week always fell on the 2nd of the month, the day after New Moon.
In Luke's account of their journey, Paul's company sailed from Philippi after the feast of unleavened bread ended on the
21st of Abib, sailed for five days and arrived at Troas where they stayed seven days.
(See Acts 20:5-7.)
The seventh day of their stay at Troas was the second day of the month which Paul refers to as the first day of the week.
This again places the Sabbaths on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th days of the month.

These scriptural references are proof to WLC that lunar months, set in a luni-solar calendar, are the true
format of Biblical chronology.

Any person desiring to claim the prize must give an equal amount of scriptural proofs that the seventh-day
Sabbath fell on days other than the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th of the lunar month.

Based on extensive research, WLC believes that the calendar used to determine the yearly feasts listed in Leviticus 23 must
also be used for determining the weekly Sabbath, because the Sabbath is mentioned in Leviticus 23:1-3 as a weekly feast.
This calendar uses the sighting of the first visible crescent, the New Moon, for beginning the months and welcoming the
weekly Sabbaths occurring on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th.

WLC now believes that this is Yahuwah's true time measurement.

If scriptural proof can be provided to demonstrate that this is in error, please share with WLC.

Yahweh and Yeshua on this matter, then
what other errors did she teach?
The sad truth is, that WLC “strives to follow all
Ellen White's false doctrines, and then
some.”
Ellen White did not get her doctrines from the
Word of God, but from her subjective “visions”.
However, there was some truth in her, and one of
those true things, was – that if a prophet does not
practice what she preaches, then she is a hypocrite.
If WLC was following Truth, according to the Bible,
then they would understand that Yahweh gave all
meat to man for food; that He called eggs “good
gifts”; that Jesus ate cheese, beef, lamb, fish, drank
alcoholic wine; that people who forbid these things,
and especially those who insist that abstinence
from such things is necessary for salvation, are
dangerous heretics preaching a “different gospel”,
who are therefore accursed by God.
I do not doubt WLC's sincerity, but their theology
is seriously flawed, and they are lurching from one
error into the next at an increasing rate.
Having finally acknowledged within themselves
that there are serious problems with Ellen G.
White's timeline, WLC have gone to great lengths
to rationalise this error, and save face. Rather than
seeing this egregious error for what it is, then
repenting wholeheartedly, and turning to the Bible
alone as their rule, they have continued even
further down that crooked path which she blazed.

The WLC team has made the shocking discovery
from the Bible that the seventh-day Sabbath
cannot be found except on the Creator's calendar.
Scripture references
WLC believes that the regular 7-day cycle cannot
be found in nature; that the month of 29 / 30 days
is the only natural cycle, into which the 7-day
sabbaths must be unequally distributed.
This is untrue. Nature abounds with evidence of
the Creator's regular 7-day week.

of the twisted interpretations of a false prophet.
Once having been deceived by such fraudulent
doctrines as Ellen White has perpetrated on
millions, peoples' discernment is seriously
compromised. This can be seen in the way that
White-ites will customarily quote Scripture and
White-isms together in the same breath,
attributing equal authority to both.
Actually, they are attributing even more authority
to Ellen White's interpretations, as they believe
that these contradictory statements are “new light”
by which God's Word must be read.
WLC has actually borrowed this theory almost
verbatim from other sources on the Web, as far as
I can tell. They have not independently “discovered
from the Bible” all of this. The sources I found were
unscholarly, badly-written, illogical and
amateurish treatises which could not impress
anybody who is unafraid of losing faith in Ellen
White.
This is the problem – that White-ites love their
false prophet far more than they love Jesus. If
Ellen White pointed people to the Bible alone, then
that is where they should go. They should abandon
their addiction to her Scriptural additions, and
humbly seek the wisdom of God in the guidance of
the Holy Spirit as they read the Holy Bible free
from her skewed interpretations. Nobody who
prayerfully studies the Bible exclusively,
will ever arrive at the tangled web of false
doctrines preached by Ellen White.

Anything else is an oxymoron!
Here is the prime example of an oxymoron.
The lunar months have either 29 or 30 days, due to
the 29 ½ – day cycle of the moon.
New Moon is not a Sabbath, according to WLC, but
it is unclear whether they still observe it in the
same fashion.
I believe WLC do no work on this day; but do they
“worship”? If so, then why not call New Moon Day
a “weekly Sabbath”, and have done with it???
• Also, the meaning of Shabbath, “Sabbath”,
is ... REST!!
• The commandment for Sabbath observance
deals with REST, not “worship”.
• If WLC RESTS on the day of New Moon,
then they are ipso facto observing the
weekly Sabbath on this day;
• and since it is exactly 7 days from another
7-day Sabbath, they are observing a 7th-
day Sabbath on New Moon day.
There is no explicit Scriptural command that New
Moon should be so observed, although there are
cases where it is apparent that Israel either did

Yahweh certainly does not attach to Sabbath and
New Moon, the significance that WLC believes.
When it does not proceed from a penitent heart,
the observance of days, weeks, months (New

Yahweh rejects the statutory worship of Sabbath-

Paul then explains that those who tried to become

exclusively given) were therefore slaves to the
laws regarding Sabbaths, New Moons and
Appointed Feasts.
He contrasts these “law slaves” with the ancestors
of those to whom the Law was given, Abraham's
sons.
Ishmael, the son born from the slave woman,
represents Mount Sinai, which is where God gave
the Commandments about the Sabbath, New Moon
and Appointed Feasts.
Isaac, the son born of Abraham's lawful wife,
represents the legitimate heir, the son of the
Promise. Isaac was born long before the
Commandments and the Sabbath were
given.
We are now to deem ourselves children of the

Those who desire to place themselves back under
the Old Covenant, have missed the mark of Grace,
imagining that by doing so, they are avoiding the

Jew, observed these ordinances for a witness to his

But Paul staunchly condemned the Judaisation of
the Gentile believers, because putting themselves
back under the Law cannot add one single thing to
the perfect salvation won for them at great cost,
freely bestowed, in the blood of the Messiah
Yeshua.
In fact, those who put themselves back under the
Law, and especially those who influence other
Gentile believers to do likewise, are guilty of great
sin; they have rejected the freedom won for them
by the Lamb of God.
Then, they become identified with those evil
Sabbath keepers in Isaiah chapter 1, condemned
for their sin in spite of their strict observance of all
the Sabbaths, New Moons and Appointed Feasts.
“Circumcision” is a euphemism for “Judaisation”.

as I have easily found many Bible texts
which utterly demolish every point in the
WLC theory.
“Proof-texting” is the mark of every pseudo-
Christian cult. All cults base their doctrines on the
teaching of one or a few theologically-uneducated
self-styled “prophets”, and from then on, they are
bound to the cycle of wresting a few (perhaps
ambiguous) Scriptures out of all context and logic,
so that they give the appearance of supporting the
false prophet's own doctrines.
True Bible exposition and exegesis, takes every text
in context and relation to ALL other texts, using
the clearly unambiguous to shed light on the
ambiguous. By diligent study, the doctrines of the
faith are thus revealed, whether or not they agree
with our own ideas.

foregone conclusions, eisegesis, faulty translation,
heretical interpretation and generally poor
scholarship. It is borne from a different
gospel, and it is therefore accursed.
Someone who approaches Bible study with such an
agenda to service, cannot help but to arrive at
biased conclusions.
Anybody studying with WLC needs to first fully
investigate the background of their prophet, Ellen
G. White. She has constructed a complex system of
righteous-sounding spiritual bondage. In order to
accept her as divinely inspired, a person must
abdicate their own responsibility for spiritual
discernment, and will thenceforth be almost
unable to rationally and critically examine what
she says in the light of the gospel, as we are
Biblically commanded to do.
Our salvation is our own, individual responsibility.
We must avoid deception, and go straight to the
source of Life, Yeshua. He has promised to teach us
through His Word and Holy Spirit. We must not
depend on the words of false prophets to save us.

doctrine, will find that which they seek. Heretics of

constructed elaborate defensive doctrines around
it. Not all of these minorities can be correct,

His epistles clearly expound the Scriptures, and

Study all Paul's letters diligently, without
any reference to Ellen White, for 6 months.
If she is true, then there will be no cognitive

If there is an insistent clanging on almost

White is a false prophet who must be utterly

No Bible verse can be found which supports this
statement. All verses which deal with both these
days, are consistent with the probability of New
Moon Day falling on a Sabbath on average almost 2
times per year, as would also be expected for any of
the other 6 days. (12 or 13 New Moon days per year
divided by 7 days of the week = almost 2.)
This is exactly what occurs in the Jewish calendar,
which anti-semitic WLC entirely ignores.
To anybody else, this simply means exactly what it
says ~ for 6 days out of every consecutive 7 days,
the gate is shut; every 7th day, it is opened.
Also, it means that the gate is opened on the first

a weekday, or on a Sabbath day.
Although there is no verse in the Bible which
specifically commands that there be no buying or
selling on New Moon day, apparently this was a
Hebrew custom, whether New Moon fell on a
weekday or a Sabbath.
There is also no verse in the Bible which says that
New Moon Day cannot be a weekly Sabbath, just as
there is no verse preventing it from being any one
of the six weekdays.
However, the Sabbath is commanded to be kept
every 7th day. WLC states that the 8th of every
month is always a Sabbath. The 8th day is exactly 7
days after New Moon Day.
Ergo, since all other criteria are the same
for both days, then by definition, WLC must
concede that, in their own calendar, New
Moon Day is a weekly Sabbath.
Anything else is ridiculous!
It seems that people in Samaria (including this
Shunammite woman who feared Yahweh) visited
the prophets on both New Moon and Sabbath days.
Shunem was in Samaria, about 20 miles south of
the Sea of Galilee, and about 70 miles from
Jerusalem. Elisha lived in Samaria.
This verse does not prove that New Moon could not
be also a weekly Sabbath; only that at least some
of the time, it does not fall on a weekly
Sabbath.

This chapter does NOT say that 15 Abib was a
Sabbath. In fact, nowhere in the Bible can it
be found that 15 Abib is a weekly Sabbath,
or any other sort of Sabbath. That is an
ADDITION to God's Word.
It is based on the FALSE ASSUMPTION that
every time the 15th of any month is
mentioned, this must be a weekly Sabbath.
This is the THEORY that WLC is attempting
to prove, so it is invalidated as “proof” of
anything.
Does WLC use verse 7 as a proof that 15 Abib is a
weekly Sabbath?
“On the first day you shall have a holy
convocation; you shall not do any
ordinary work.”
In that case, they MUST also concede that 21

“On the 7th day you shall have a holy
convocation; you shall not do any

So, why has WLC decided that 15 Abib is a weekly
Sabbath, but that 21 Abib is not? Because 21 is
only 6 more than 15, which means that one of these
days, if not both of them, cannot be a 7th-day
Sabbath.
Why then, choose 15 Abib? 21 Abib has equal
qualification for being the weekly Sabbath as 15
Abib, if WLC is going to use the words “holy
convocation; you shall not do any
ordinary work,” by which to determine the
weekly Sabbath.
Therefore, according to these parameters, both 15
Abib and 21 Abib are weekly Sabbaths.
In fact, 21 Abib has even MORE
qualification as a 7th-day Sabbath, because
it is the SEVENTH day of the Feast, whereas
15 Abib is only the FIRST day of the Feast.
But the concept of a weekly Sabbath on both 15 &
21 Abib is of course, mutually exclusive.
• They obviously cannot both be weekly
Sabbaths;
• therefore the words “holy
convocation ... do no work” cannot be
used to determine a weekly Sabbath;
• therefore NEITHER 15 Abib NOR 21
Abib must (always) be a weekly
Sabbath.
(Of course, either one of them can be a Sabbath,
depending on the day of the week on which either
of them falls; but not every year.)

CONFUSING DEFINITIONS of “SABBATH”
Use of the archaic KJV can distort one's
understanding. The KJV translates two Hebrew
words as “sabbath”, not making a distinction
between them, as the more correct, modern
versions do.
KJV translates shabbathon as sabbath, while
modern translations give the proper sense, day of
solemn rest. This is a different word from the
7th-day Sabbath, shabbath, though the words
are related, and come from the same root word,
shabath, to rest.
WLC needs to find Scriptural support for its theory
that the 15th of every month is a weekly Sabbath. If
they come across the translation of shabbathon
as Sabbath in connection with the 15th of the
month, they will pounce upon this as the evidence
required.

• If we agree that 10 Tisri, the Day of
Atonement being a “Sabbath,”
shabbath, every year does not mean
that it is the 7-day Sabbath,

WHY THIS IS SO CRUCIAL
to WLC
When defining His Holy Convocations on
which no work was to be done,
1. Yahweh specifically began by stating that
this always applied to every weekly, 7th-
day Sabbath.
2. He then clearly defined every single one of
the OTHER Holy Convocations
during His Appointed Feasts.
3. Finally, He very specifically stated that all
the Holy Convocations during His
Appointed Feasts, are to be observed
IN ADDITION TO HIS WEEKLY
SABBATHS.
What could possibly be more plain? There are
weekly Sabbaths, and there are Holy
Convocations and Sabbaths of Solemn Rest,
(which are to be observed in the same way
as weekly Sabbaths), that are to be kept IN
ADDITION to the weekly Sabbaths;

WLC has selectively chosen a SINGLE PAIR
of the SEVEN Holy Convocations from the
Appointed Feasts, and used these to prop
up their rickety theory about the 15th and
22nd of EVERY month ALWAYS being
Sabbaths.
This is only because it serves their own pre-
determined purpose perfectly.
That pre-determined purpose is, to ensure
that the Day of Crucifixion as claimed by
Ellen G. White, falls on the 6th day of the
week, in 31 AD (and every other year too, of
course).
There is no other way for WLC to uphold
Ellen White's claim, for Passover 14 Nisan
in 31 AD, fell on a MONDAY, MARCH 26.
In fact, SDAs do not even acknowledge the
correct date for Passover in 31 AD, but
claim that it fell a month later, on APRIL 25.
However, even this ploy does not save them,
because this was a WEDNESDAY.
It thus becomes crystal clear why those who
KNOW that Jesus died on the 6th day of the
week, and BELIEVE Ellen G. White's year of
31 AD for the Cross, MUST find some other
way to reconcile these two mutually
exclusive points.

SDAs generally ignore the whole topic and
hope nobody else notices the glaring
inconsistencies between Bible evidence, the
Jewish calendar, and their false prophet's
teachings.

WLC has at least acknowledged the

problem, and shown great enterprise in
trying to find a Biblical solution.

But, instead of finally throwing out the

demonic doctrines of their false prophet in
favour of the Word of God, they have come
up with this fantastical theory which
artificially places EVERY Passover, indeed
EVERY 14th day of EVERY MONTH of

that Ellen White will not lose face.

Exo 16:24 So they laid it aside till the morning, as

there were no worms in it.

about this law, from the beginning.
Did Moses and Aaron then, not know about this
law? Even if the people had forgotten it?
Certainly, the LORD was adamant about the
Israelites abiding by this law, on the 7th day, after
the first 6 days of manna.
If it was so critical that the people should
observe the Sabbath on the day after the

they were not allowed outside, let alone to
travel, and pitch tents, make campfires, dig
latrines, etc. What was Moses thinking of then,
allowing the people to travel on the Sabbath?
WLC uses this “proof” to support their theory that
every single 15th of the month, is also a Sabbath. In
that case, then the children of Israel also fled Egypt
on a Sabbath,15 Abib.

this day was a weekly Sabbath.
I am guessing at this, as their reasoning has not
been made plain.
However, the Hebrew word chanah cannot be
rendered as anything but camped or pitched
tents. This is certainly not resting. It is hard
work, which could not be performed on the
Sabbath, so it cannot have been the Sabbath
when the people camped before the
mountain.
And even if the verse did say that the people
“rested”, it would not prove that this was a weekly
Sabbath.
In fact, these two verses prove exactly the opposite
of what WLC claims. Had it been a weekly Sabbath,
the Israelites would not have been travelling, and
they certainly would not have been pitching camp.
The LORD had strictly instructed them, just a few
days or weeks earlier, that they were to remain
inside their tents on the Sabbath, so there is
no way that they would have arrived anywhere, nor
camped anywhere, on the Sabbath.
Therefore, WLC is wrong.
1. The Israelites were not permitted to
travel or make camp on the weekly
Sabbath.
2. The Israelites did not REST on the day
they entered the wilderness; they
CAMPED.
3. The day when they arrived in the
Wilderness of Sinai was Tammuz 1.

Yes, Pentecost always falls on the first day of

But ... what is the Scriptural reference for
Pentecost always taking place on the 9th of

Leviticus DOES NOT mention 9 Sivan, and
DOES NOT state that 8 Sivan is a Sabbath,
NOR that 15 Abib is a Sabbath.
There is no such Scriptural reference. WLC
has here confused its own ASSUMPTION of the
8th of the month always being a Sabbath, with a
Scriptural reference for this.

distinguish between God's Words and Ellen

• KNOWING that Pentecost always falls on
the 1st day of the week (True),
• and having ASSUMED that the 8th, & 15th
of every month are always Sabbaths,
• they have counted 7 weeks from Nisan 15
(WLC's “weekly Sabbath” during the
Feast of Unleavened Bread),
• arrived at Sivan 8 (WLC's “weekly
Sabbath”),
• added one day to arrive at the first day of
the week on 9 Sivan ~
• then used this string of
ASSUMPTIONS as PROOF that
Sabbath always falls on the 8th of the
month,
• therefore also on the 15th, 22nd, and
29th of EVERY month!!
Such twisted logic disqualifies this argument
absolutely, and WLC should be ashamed of
stooping to the use of this dreary SDA tactic.
This is no proof at all, “proving” a theory by first
ASSUMING the truth of the ASSUMPTION
which remains to be proven by the theory.
Today's Rabbinic Jews do not keep Shavuot
(the Feast of Weeks, or Pentecost) on the first day
of the week. Their Shavuot falls on either Sunday,
Monday, Wednesday, or Friday; the 1st, 2nd,
4th or 6th day of the week, but always on 6th
Sivan.
This is because they do not use the weekly
Sabbath during the week of Unleavened
Bread as the starting-point for counting the 50
days.
WLC Scripture references LORRAINE
Instead, they count the 50 days from the
“ceremonial Sabbath” during the week of
Unleavened Bread, which is 15 Nisan. (This
is untenable, because although Scripture does state
that 15 & 22 Tisri are both a shabbath shabbathon,
or sabbath of solemn rest, it does not state that 15
Nisan is one.)

• Thus, even though they begin with the

same date that WLC uses,
• and they count the same 50 days forward
from this same date,
• they arrive at a different date, 3 days
earlier than WLC's date.

How can this be, if they are both counting

50 days, from the same date?
WLC's ARITHMETIC

Counting 7 weeks + 1 day from the Sabbath during

Unleavened Bread:
• 15 Abib = “weekly Sabbath”
• + 7 days = 22 Abib, Sabbath
• + 7 days = 29 Abib, Sabbath
• + 1 day = 30 Abib, NOT COUNTED
• + 1 day = 1 Iyyar, NOT COUNTED
• + 7 days =8 Iyyar, Sabbath
• + 7 days = 15 Iyyar, Sabbath
• + 7 days = 22 Iyyar, Sabbath
• + 7 days = 29 Iyyar, Sabbath
• + 1 day = 1 Sivan, NOT COUNTED
• + 7 days = 8 Sivan, Sabbath

Total = 7 weeks + 1 day + 3 days not counted
= “50 days.”
WLC Scripture references LORRAINE
How any intelligent person could be
deceived by this ruse, is beyond credulity.

WLC has apparently invented the term

“TRANSLATION DAYS”, to define the 30th
day of every other lunar month.

The true length of a lunar month is about 29 ½

days. Therefore, Hebrew months are (more or less)
alternately 29 or 30 days, to keep the calendar true
to the New Moon. In fact, today's Jews also alter
the lengths of either one or both the 8th and 9th
months, Cheshvan and Kislev, depending on the
phase of the lunar and solar cycles.

WLC is convinced that they have discovered the

Creator's true calendar. They are also convinced
that, even though the Creator never mentioned
anything called a “Translation Day”, this is the
missing link to counting 53 days but only
arriving at 50 days later.

By unilaterally declaring that New Moons and

30th days of the month are “not to be
counted”, WLC imagines that it has satisfied
everybody that their theory of every 8th, 15th, 22nd
and 29th of every lunar month, being a weekly
Sabbath, is invincible.

Without this insupportable invention, WLC

would, like everybody else, count 50 days
from 15 Nisan, and arrive at 6 Sivan.

CAN the CROSS have been in 29 AD?

29 AD appears initially to be problematic, with

Passover falling on the Sabbath, rather than
the 6th day. I am not aware of anybody else, in
recent times, choosing this year for the Cross.
WLC Scripture references LORRAINE
However, TERTULLIAN, in about 200 AD,
certainly did state that Jesus died in a year
which can be identified as 29 AD.

If Jesus was born in 4 BC,

• He would have turned 4 in 1 AD.
• If He died at Passover in 29 AD,
• then the Galilee Passover was 28 AD
• and the first Passover was 27 AD.
• He would have been baptised in 26 AD
• when He was 29 years old.
• He would have turned 32 years old in 29
AD.

Therefore, 29 AD for the Cross, after a 2-year

ministry, is consistent Jesus being born “about 4
BC”, and with the gospel record of Jesus' age of
“about 30” when He began His ministry..

The term “high day” is used one other time in

the Sabbath High Day from the Hebrew words.
Strong's Hebrew Dictionary tells us that the words

HaGadol, which obviously means, the great or

undeniable Bible facts to set the scene, then
inserting a complete fabrication, to give the
appearance of Biblical endorsement of their pre-

The Bible does say, “The manna ceased the day

The Bible does NOT say, “16 Abib, the day

That is the issue which WLC is still

attempting to prove here, but yet again,
they have ASSUMED the truth of this theory
in the attempt to support another argument
in the theory's favour. This is nothing but
shameless circular reasoning.
There are several Bible proofs that 15 Abib, Year
1 Canaan, was NOT a weekly Sabbath, even
though it was a Holy Convocation.
1. The 15th of every month is demonstrably
NOT always a weekly Sabbath, so this
cannot be used to prove that 15 Abib, Year 1
Canaan, was a Sabbath.
2. The manna ceased on 16 Abib, therefore
it must have fallen on 15 Abib,
therefore 15 Abib was not a Sabbath.
3. The people ate unleavened bread and
parched grain from Canaan on 15 Abib. If
they had to search for and find this grain,

then transport, process and cook it, then 15
Abib could not have been a Sabbath,
because they were not to leave their tents to
look for food on this day.
4. If this was barley from the newly ripened
crop, then 15 Abib must have been the first
day of the week, because they had to
observe the Day of Firstfruits and wave
the first sheaf of barley, before they
were permitted to eat any of the new crop.
5. If 15 Abib was the Sabbath, then 16 Abib
must have been the Sheaf of Barley
Firstfruits, and the people would not have
been allowed to eat new grain on 15 Abib.
6. But if 15 Abib was the first day of the week,
then 14 Abib was the weekly Sabbath, and
the people would have had to move the
Passover with its many duties, to the
previous working day, 13 Abib; yet we are
told they ate Passover on 14 Abib. Therefore
15 Abib cannot have been the first day
of the week, either.
7. This is confirmed, because the Hebrew
words clearly state that the people were
eating the old crop of grain on 15
Abib, not the first of the new barley.
At Mount Sinai, Moses was given many
instructions by Yahweh. Here is one of
them.
Although they had not been able to keep the Day of
Firstfruits while they were in the wilderness for 40
years (because they were not growing any grain),
the Israelites had to observe it when they entered
the Promised Land.
They had to wave the sheaf of Firstfruits of
the new barley crop, ON THE DAY AFTER

THE WEEKLY SABBATH.
They were not permitted to eat any new season's
barley until AFTER they had done this.
The Israelites were eating unleavened cakes, and
parched grain, on Abib 15, as was required during
the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Was this, then,
FRESH barley from the newly-ripened crop they
found in Canaan?
If so, then they MUST have also celebrated the
Wave Sheaf Offering of Barley Firstfruits on this
day, before they ate any of the new barley.
They cannot have waved the sheaf the previous
day, because the Sheaf of Barley Firstfruits offering
falls on the 1st day of the week, AFTER the weekly
Sabbath during the week of Unleavened Bread,
between Abib 14 – 21. Barley Firstfruits cannot fall
earlier than 15 Abib, therefore not on Passover, 14
Abib.
Therefore, if this was new barley, the Wave Sheaf
Offering of Barley Firstfruits must have been on 15
Abib, and they must have waved the sheaf before
eating any of the grain themselves, on the same
day.
In that case then, it is obvious that 15 Abib
would have been the FIRST day of the week,
and 14 Abib would have been the Sabbath.
This scenario however, leads to another problem.
If 14 Abib was the weekly Sabbath, then we
find that the people would have been unable to
perform all the work associated with building fires,
slaughtering the lambs, and roasting them, on the
Sabbath.

Jericho. It is clear that the early Israelites who were not
even permitted to go outside their tents to search
for firewood, or to look for manna on the Sabbath,
would not have been permitted to search for barley
on the Sabbath, and would also not have been
permitted to observe the Passover on the Sabbath.

Yet Joshua 5:10 definitely says that they ate the

When we investigate further, we find verification
that the Israelites were eating the previous year's
crop of grain on 15 Abib, so they did not need to
wave the barley sheaf on this day, therefore 15 Abib
cannot have been the 1st day of the week.
The KJV, and Strong's Hebrew Dictionary, show
clearly that the grain they ate was the previous
season's crop.

conclusion that therefore, the manna did not fall
on 15 Abib.

Using illogical reasoning, they then tell us that, as

the manna ceased on 16 Abib, that is proof
that 15 Abib must have been the Sabbath,
WHEN THE MANNA COULD NOT FALL.

How WLC distinguishes from these verses,

between
• manna NOT falling on one day
because it was supposedly a Sabbath
(which is never stated); and
• manna NOT falling on the next day
because it had “ceased” (which is
explicitly stated), is a mystery.

Scripture certainly does not support this.

Abib,
• in which case manna FELL on 15

If it places the Sabbath anywhere (which is not

All we can ascertain from these verses, is that ~

were NOT the weekly Sabbath in Year 1
Canaan..
Yahweh told Moses to ordain Aaron and his sons
for their priestly duties in the newly-constructed
Tent of Meeting. He told them that their
ordination would take 7 days, beginning on
the day of New Moon, Day 1 of Year 2 Exodus.
Why these events should be supposed to have
anything to do with confirming the weekly
Sabbath, is anybody's guess. It is certainly not
stated in Scripture.
It is however, a fact that, during this 7-day
ordination period, one of those days
absolutely was a weekly Sabbath. We are
NOT told which date that was.

cleanse the Temple.
It might be supposed, if WLC's theory is correct,
that the priests would have consecrated themselves
and cleaned the Temple sufficiently for it to have
been ready to celebrate the Passover on 14 Abib,
and the Feast of Unleavened Bread on Abib 15.
King Hezekiah assembled ALL the people after
this. If those priests had finished in time for the
Passover, then WLC would triumphantly have
claimed that this was proof that Abib 8 and 15
were weekly Sabbaths in this year, since the
congregation would have all assembled on
the 15th.
However, that was not the case. The date of the
ASSEMBLY was 16 Abib, NOT 15 Abib.
WLC appears to be claiming (this is unclear, as
there is no specific statement) that the priests
being consecrated by the 8th day in Year 2
Exodus is proof that the 8th of the month was a
Sabbath in that year.
Do they also wish to claim, since the Temple was
consecrated by 16 Abib, when all the people
assembled under Hezekiah, that Abib 16 is always a
weekly Sabbath? No??? It is simply not logical to
use this argument about one date, and reject it
when the identical criteria are fulfilled on a
different date.
Surely, if Abib 15 was to be the Sabbath, and not
only that but according to WLC, a HIGH
SABBATH, the first day of Unleavened Bread, then
those priests ought to have worked just a little
faster to have the Temple consecrated by the
Sabbath!!

As it is, their tardiness caused King Hezekiah, all
the officials, the singers, the musicians, the priests
and Levites, and ALL ISRAEL to worship Yahweh
on WLC's first day of the week, 16 Abib;
therefore all their hard work, their prayers,
their reading of God's Word, and their
worship was not just in vain, but it would
send them to the Lake of Fire!!
That is what WLC believes and teaches. The
Israelites assembled and WORSHIPPED the
TRUE GOD on 16 Abib, which WLC now
teaches, is the day AFTER the Sabbath, and
WLC insists that people receive the Mark of
the Beast for doing this.
It was not just the king and all the people who had
worshipped in vain, if they were worshipping on
the first day of the week.
The number of innocent victims offered in sacrifice
was enormous; and it must have all been wasted
effort, for those 670 bulls, 100 rams, 200
lambs, and 3,000 sheep to be sacrificed to
Yahweh on the wrong day!!
NO, it was not in vain. Yahweh accepts the
true worship of those who love Him, on
ANY and EVERY DAY.
There is no “WRONG DAY” for a true
believer to WORSHIP the True God,
YAHWEH. This verse tells us that GOD had

people of Israel, ASSEMBLED at the
TEMPLE in JERUSALEM, and they all
WORSHIPPED YAHWEH.
One thing is certain, which is ...
There is NO proof here that 15 Abib is a
Sabbath, neither this year, nor every year.
The consecration of the priests occurred in Year 1
Exodus, then it happened again in Year 1
Hezekiah when he restored the defiled Temple
and the neglected sacrifices; and it will happen
again in the future.
Ezekiel's detailed instructions for rebuilding the
Temple were not the ones used after the
Babylonian Exile. Ezekiel's Temple remains to be
built. When that happens, Yahweh said, there will
be another 7-day consecration of the altar
there, before the resumption of the sacrifices in
Jerusalem.
This is a prophecy that is abhorrent to all White-
ites, who cannot countenance the return of the
ethnic Israelites to their own land Israel under
their own Messiah King of Israel, during the
Millennium, any more than they can stomach the
thought of animals being sacrificed and eaten as a
component of Yahweh's commanded worship.

Ezekiel has no business being in our Bibles.
Although this passage exactly parallels what
happened both in Year 2 Exodus, and Year 1
Hezekiah, it still does not state that 8 Nisan is
the weekly Sabbath. It does NOT give any
credence to the Sabbath falling on 8 & 15 of
this month, nor inevitably on 15 & 22 of
every month, nor even of any month.
It can be seen, from the following 7 Scriptures, that
the assembling of the entire congregation of
Israel at the Tabernacle or Temple for
worship, does NOT automatically identify
that date as a weekly Sabbath.
If the ASSEMBLING of all Israel at the
Temple to worship, is the criterion by which
a weekly Sabbath can be identified, then we
would have these dates definitely all being
the weekly Sabbath ~
1. 1 Iyyar, Year 2 Exodus
2. 8 Iyyar, Year 2 Exodus
3. 16 Abib, Year 1 Hezekiah
4. 1 Tisri, Year 1 Return of Exiles
5. 24 Tisri, Year 1 Return of Exiles
6. 17 Kislev, Year 7 Artaxerxes
7. 20 Kislev, Year 7 Artaxerxes ~
which is clearly impossible.
WLC wishes to claim 8 Iyyar as a perpetual weekly
Sabbath, while denying that any of those other
dates can possibly be a weekly Sabbath, even the
New Moon days, which are exactly 7 days prior to
the WLC “Sabbath” on the 8th of each month.
WLC's only authority for this appears to be the
assembling of the whole congregation of

I struggle to find the significance of Aaron and his
sons being required to remain within the
Tabernacle precinct for 7 days, in connection with
the weekly Sabbath.
The passage NEVER mentions the Sabbath.
The reason that they were to remain within the
Tabernacle, was so that they would not be defiled
by anyone or anything in the outside world, during
their consecration to Yahweh.
That there was an ASSEMBLY of ALL the

• and it is one of the dates on which the
Feast of Esther is held in the 12th month
every year.
• It is also of course, FULL MOON, and
therefore easily identified every month.
However, there is NOT ONE SINGLE
REFERENCE to the 15th of the month being a
weekly Sabbath.
“The 29th day of the month” is NOT FOUND
AT ALL in Scripture.
This is beyond curious, considering that
WLC are convinced that keeping the days 8,
15, 22 & 29 of every single lunar month as
the weekly Sabbath, is essential to avoid the
Mark of the Beast.
Surely something this critical to the
salvation of every person on earth, should
be absolutely clearly stated to avoid
confusion and ignorance?
There is another account of this exact event, the
dedication of Solomon's Temple, in 1 Kings,
which is quoted here. The accounts are very
similar, with some slight differences.
The major difference which can be found here, is
that SOLOMON SENT THE PEOPLE AWAY
on the 8TH DAY of the Feast of Tabernacles,
which was 22 TISRI.
WLC has chosen to avoid mentioning this
other account, or dealing with this
discrepancy, which negates their
ASSUMPTION that 22 Tisri was the weekly
Sabbath.

How can this be?
• Solomon sent the people away on 22
Tisri.
• Solomon sent the people away on 23
Tisri.

WLC believes that 22 Tisri is not one of the days of

the Feast of Tabernacles. So, if Solomon sent the
people away on 22 Tisri, this should not be a
problem ~ it would simply prove that 22 Tisri is
not a weekly Sabbath in this year, and
therefore, not in every month of every year.

But Scripture is clear; that the 8th day of

Tabernacles is the Last Day, the Great Day,
the Day of Solemn Assembly, of the Feast of
Tabernacles.

So the people cannot have left Jerusalem on

22 Tisri, whether or not it was a weekly
Sabbath.

Which Scriptural version is correct?

Both options are correct, obviously. The Feast of
Tabernacles lasted for 7 days, from 15 Tisri to 21
Tisri. This was the FEAST.

But there is an 8th Day of Tabernacles, the

Last Day, the Great Day, the Day of Solemn
Assembly, on 22 Tisri, a Sabbath of Solemn
Rest, a Holy Convocation, on which no work
is to be done. All men were required to be
present in Jerusalem every year for this Day
of Solemn Assembly.

They were all required to attend the Temple on this

day. They could not work, therefore they could not

have dismantled their Booths, the shelters
constructed of branches, in which they had to live
during the 8 days of Tabernacles. They would not
have been able to dismantle them until after
sunset on 22 Tisri.
But if they started then, where would they sleep
that night? It would be dark, and too late to begin
their journey home. Presumably they would have
spent the night after 22 Tisri in their booths, as
well, then dismantled them in the morning of 23
Tisri., before leaving Jerusalem.
It is perfectly understandable that King Solomon,
in his final address to the people on 22 Tisri , the
Last Day of Tabernacles, would have dismissed the
people, and wished them well on their journeys
home.
However, the people would not have begun to
depart until the next morning, 23 Tisri.
This does NOT prove that 22 TISRI was the
Sabbath, but reinforces only that it was a
Holy Convocation, a Solemn Assembly,

This is nonsense. Neither one nor the other
is identified in Scripture as always falling
on the weekly Sabbath.
It does no such thing.
There are all manner of reasons for having a “rest
day”. One of them is, that people are tired, and
need a rest. Or perhaps they have completed the
task they were set, and then they can afford to rest
on the following day.
This does not necessarily mean that the “rest day”
is therefore a weekly Sabbath, and it certainly
provides no evidence of the days following in
multiples of 7, being weekly Sabbaths, either.
In the city of Susa, the Jews killed 500 of their
enemies, plus Haman and his family, on 13 Adar.
The king granted Esther's request that night, that
they also be allowed to have 14 Adar as another
day to kill more of their enemies, and on that day,
another 300 enemies were killed in the city of
Susa.

The city Jews killed 850 enemies.
The country Jews killed almost 100 times as
many, in half the time.
Therefore, it is probable that there were about 200
times as many provincial Jews as city Jews.
Now which of these 2 groups of Jews carries
“the weight of evidence”?
The provincial Jews rested and feasted on
14 Adar.
The Scripture says NOTHING about those
country Jews “resting” on 15 Adar, yet there
must have been about 200 times as many of them,
as of the city Jews.

MINORITY “resting” on 15 Adar,

There are 2 circumstances in which

• when 14 Nisan falls on the weekly

that Passover fell on the 6th day of he week,
is at the Crucifixion Passover.
WLC is making the ASSUMPTION that this
was always the case, in another case of
circular reasoning.
Passover could not possibly have “always” occurred
on the 6th day of the week.
The very first Passover was 14 Abib (Nisan), the
day before God led the children of Israel out of
Egypt on 15 Abib, which WLC claims is a weekly
Sabbath.
• Yahweh would not have led the Israelites on
a long, arduous journey on the weekly
Sabbath,
• therefore 15 Abib in Year 1 Exodus
was NOT the weekly Sabbath,

Since God commanded them just a few weeks later,
that they were not to leave their tents or do any
work on the Sabbath on pain of death, there is no
way He would have set a contradictory precedent
by leading them on a long journey on 15 Abib, had
that been a Sabbath.
God's words are uncompromising. Even though
this man apparently had not been told that he
would be killed if he went out searching for sticks
for his fire, God commanded the people to stone
him to death.
How then, can WLC propose that God
Himself would have led the 2,000,000 or so
Israelites, out of Egypt, on a Sabbath day?
Exactly one month after 15 Abib, on 15 Iyyar, the
people of Israel were again travelling, because on
that day they arrived at the Wilderness of
Sin. They would then have had to set up camp
again, on 15 Iyyar. Therefore, 15 Iyyar in Year 1
Exodus, was NOT a weekly Sabbath.
This is double proof, 2 months in a row, that
the 15th of every month is NOT ALWAYS a
weekly Sabbath.
It is true that Passover can sometimes fall on
the 6th day of the week, followed by the weekly
Sabbath.
However, since WLC has been proven wrong about
this, we need to go back the the Jews who have

this causes no problems of any kind.

Obviously, one Sabbath cannot be “more

holy” than any other. Therefore, no changes
need to be made in the way the people
observe this, except that at the Temple, the
prescribed sacrifices may have been slightly
different.

This does NOT make 15 Nisan a “High Sabbath”

every year. Adding a cup of water to another cup of
water, does not make the water “wetter”. It is still
water. So, adding one Sabbath onto another
Sabbath, cannot alter the procedure at all, and
calling it a “High Sabbath” would be redundant.

In fact, the HIGH SABBATH (SHABBAT

HAGADOL) during Unleavened Bread,
actually falls on 14 Nisan, not 15 Nisan.

This point is debatable, on several fronts.
1. Scripture never gives the date, 16
Nisan, for the Resurrection.
2. Scripture never says that the 1st day of
the week during Unleavened Bread,
is 16 Nisan.
3. The Sabbath after Passover was a High Day,
which can only follow Passover when
14 Nisan falls on a weekly Sabbath.
4. That means this Sabbath was Nisan 14,
NOT Nisan 15.
5. Therefore, the first day of that week was
Nisan 15, NOT Nisan 16.
6. Therefore, Nisan 14 is NOT always the 6th
day of the week.
7. Thus, 14 Nisan can also fall on the other
days of the week.
8. Therefore, the Day of Firstfruits does NOT
always fall on Nisan 16, but on the day
after the weekly Sabbath during the week of

Therefore, 6 months from Tisri to Nisan (or 7
months, if there was an extra Adar that year; which
there was, in 28 AD) are concertinaed into just 6
chapters. These chapters describe only a very few
events.
However, John assures us that he could have
written much more about all Jesus said and did.
After studying all of these chapters, I believe that it
is most likely that Jesus healed this blind man
not on the day following the Great Day, in Tisri the
7th month, but during the Feast of Lights, in
Kislev, the 9th month.
Therefore, this weekly Sabbath fell on one
of these dates ~
Kislev 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, {30}, Tevet 1, {2}.
If, as I believe, the Cross was in 29 AD, then
the Sabbath during the Feast of Dedication
in 28 AD, was on 28 Kislev, Saturday
December 4.

The passage about the woman caught in adultery,
comes in John 8, before the story of the healing of
the blind man in John 9.
However, when we check this [[bracketed
passage]] with Luke, we find something
interesting.
Luke 19 describes Jesus returning to Jerusalem,
riding on the donkey.
John 12 places this entry on the donkey, 5 days
before the final Passover.
Yet “ancient authorities” place this bracketed
passage [[ John 7:53 – 8:11 ]], after Luke
21:38.
The healing of the blind man comes even later than
John 8, in John 9.
There is no way that Jesus healed this blind
man on 22 Tisri.
There is no Scriptural evidence that 22 Tisri
in that year, was a weekly Sabbath,
although it was (as always) a Holy
Convocation, the Day of Solemn Assembly,
a “Sabbath of solemn rest.”
If the Cross was in 29 AD, then 22 Tisri in
28 AD, was Thursday, 30 September.
Jesus was teaching every day in the Temple.
This passage says nothing about Tabernacles.

After this, we read 2 verses which are almost
identical to John 8:1,2.
• This context shows us that Jesus coming
to the Temple to teach, was a regular
occurrence,

• Jesus went out and slept on the Mount of
Olives every night.
• Jesus went to the Temple early every
morning.
• Jesus taught in the Temple every day.
This was His regular practice when in Jerusalem,
not a singular occasion.
Luke's background context clearly places this
healing of the blind man, shortly before Passover,
and not the day after Tabernacles.
No it does not!!
It has been demonstrated by several Scriptures,
that this healing of the blind man took place
during the Feast of Dedication, NOT on 22
Tisri.
Even if it had taken place on the day after the
Great Day, this would have been 23 Tisri,
NOT 22 Tisri, since 22 Tisri IS the LAST
DAY, the GREAT DAY.
Therefore, in that case, 23 Tisri would have
been the weekly Sabbath.
We need to read each verse in its context,
aligning it with verses and chapters before and
after it, and comparing these with related verses in
other books, before coming to such dogmatic

WLC is very fond of altering Scripture,
inserting superfluous words, phrases and
dates, selectively quoting ambiguous
Scriptures, ignoring large tracts of Biblical
evidence which clearly contradict their
beliefs, mis-translating Hebrew and Greek
words, and re-defining accepted meanings

Paul's Journey: WRONG, on 3 counts.

• The first day of the work week always
fell on the 2nd of the month, the day
after New Moon.
1. The 1st day of the week does not always
fall on the 2nd day of the month. What
WLC means to say is, “The 2nd day of the
month always fell on the 1st day of the
work week.” It is apparent that there are
either 4 or 5 “1st days of the week” per
month, and the 2nd day of the month
obviously cannot fall on all of them.
2. This is an ASSUMPTION made by WLC,
as it suits their purposes. Which Bible verse
states that the 2nd day of the month always
falls on the 1st day of the week?? WLC has
not given such a Scripture reference, as
there is none.
3. Anyway, it is not PAUL's journey which
WLC are using as proof of their theory, but
LUKE's 7-day stay in Troas. WLC has
not studied this passage correctly. WLC

LUKE is the writer of the Book of Acts.

“WE”, “US”, etc, it is LUKE who is doing
whatever is described.
In Acts 20, when LUKE writes, “he”, “they”, etc,
LUKE is speaking of PAUL.
Throughout this chapter, LUKE (“we”) was
travelling separately from PAUL (“they”).
It was not PAUL who sailed after the Feast of
Unleavened Bread ended, but LUKE.
PAUL had already left previously.
PAUL was accompanied by 7 men on his
journey from Macedonia to Troas : Sopater,
Aristarchus, Secundus, Gaius, Timothy, Tychicus,

LUKE travelled with other unnamed companions.
Both PAUL and LUKE travelled from Philippi to
Troas, separately, at different times.

It was LUKE who arrived in Troas, and stayed
there for 7 days, not PAUL.
Paul and his 7 companions first made their way
to Troas, where they waited for LUKE and his

3. Scripture does not say this was

the Days of Unleavened Bread, and if 22
Abib was a Sabbath as WLC states, then
Luke would not have been permitted to
travel until 23 Abib (Nisan), after the
weekly Sabbath. But we are not told exactly
how many days after ULB, LUKE left.
If he left at the earliest possible date, on 23
Nisan, and travelled for 5 days, that means
he would have arrived in Troas on 28

1-in-7 chance that it was the true “1st day of

6. If LUKE left later than the earliest possible
date of 23 Nisan, then of course that
makes it even further beyond the 2nd day of
the month. We are told that he left “after
the days of Unleavened Bread”, but this
could have been a single day later, or a
week later, or any unknown amount of
days, later.
7. If he left on Nisan 22, then he was breaking
WLC's Sabbath.
8. However, this is all academic, as it was not
LUKE who left Troas after his 7 days'
stay and his 5 days' sailing, on the 1st
day of the week.
9. LUKE may have left 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6
days after PAUL left (since LUKE and
PAUL spent at least 1 day of LUKE's 7
days, together in Troas), depending on
when LUKE arrived in Troas, which
we are not told.
I have been told by SDAs that the reason the
Christians were gathered together on the first day
of the week in this passage, is only because they
had been worshipping on the 7th-day
Sabbath, and had stayed so late that their
meeting ran past sunset, into the first day of
the week.
That is a baseless claim, unsupported by any
evidence in this passage. It is a transparent attempt
to twist the facts to suit their own doctrine about
the Mark of the Beast being received by anybody
who worships on any day other than the 7th day
Sabbath.

WLC has elsewhere claimed that Sabbath
was not observed during the hours of
darkness, but ONLY FROM SUNRISE TO
SUNSET. They apparently believe that only
the daylight hours are “counted” as the
“day”. They even, fantastically, claim that
“evening” is those daylight hours from noon
till sunset!!
This is clearly untrue. The Christians were here
meeting on the first “DAY”, in the evening,
after sunset, until past midnight, in fact
until dawn.
That is clarified by this passage from
Leviticus, in its unambiguous direction
about observance of the 24-hour Day of
Atonement, which always falls on 10 Tisri.
Both the “evening” and the “next day”
comprise the 10th “DAY”, as each “day” begins
the evening before. If the “evening” ran from noon
till sunset, then the Day of Atonement would
obviously cover 2 days; the 9th and the 10th, from
noon till noon; or perhaps 30 hours – from noon
on the 9th, till sunset on the 10th.
When you make up your own rules, as WLC
does, anything is possible. This is obviously
nonsense.
The Day of Atonement begins at sunset (like all
days), on 9 Tisri, and continues for 24 hours,
until sunset on 10 Tisri.
The Christians were worshipping here in
Troas, on the first day of the week. Paul was
preaching, and no doubt praying (at the very least
for the young man who fell out the window); and
all these Christians were “breaking bread”, that is,

There is no justification for discarding the
regular cycle of 7-day weeks which has been
used by the Hebrews ever since the Exodus. The
Israelites have always strictly observed their own
calendar, and they are the supreme experts at this.

The Jews, whether Rabbinic or Karaite,

undeniably use Leviticus 23 (and all the
other related texts) to govern their own true
lunar calendar, and both of their calendars
concur within a single day or two at the
most. This is due only to the Karaites requiring
physical observance of the New Moon in Jerusalem
when the barley has ripened in the month of Nisan,
which may at times be delayed a day or so due to
atmospheric conditions.

The Rabbinic method of calculation is identically

accurate, as the barley inevitably ripens in Israel at
the time of the vernal equinox, so both groups
celebrate all Yahweh's Appointed Feasts at the
same times of the year anyway.

Today, computerised calculations can pinpoint the

phases of the moon for thousands of years past and
future, so that NASA's data can be confidently
used to ascertain the dates for Passover at the time
of the Cross.

This provides 3 independent authorities which all

agree on the time of the Crucifixion, which
cannot have occurred in 31 AD, NEITHER at
the true Passover date on Monday March
WLC Scripture references LORRAINE
26, NOR at Ellen White's false Passover
date on Wednesday April 25.

Both Karaite and Rabbinic Jews always observe the

exact same 7th-day Sabbath, and always have done
so.

Yahweh stated categorically, that He gave the

Sabbath to the Israelites, as a SIGN of the
covenant between Him and THEM. Despite
persecution the world over for thousands of years,
for observing the Sabbath which God gave solely to
THEM, the Jews still observe the true Sabbath, as
they always have done.

Their millennia of history, tradition, and

scrupulously meticulous copying of God's Word,
has faithfully brought down to us, the Holy
Scriptures in which we today put all our trust.

We know, from the ancient witness of the Dead Sea

Scrolls, that there is not one single significant error
which has crept into the Hebrew Scriptures for
thousands of years.

What right then, does anybody have, to claim that

the same Israelites who so accurately preserved
God's Word in its entirety, could have possibly
“lost the true Sabbath”???

This is a nonsense, obviously.

WLC is perfectly happy to accept that the Hebrew

Scriptures are infallibly accurate, even though they
interpret them with a particular bias. So how can
they deny that those same Jews who correctly
preserved the Creator's Holy Word, could have
“lost the Creator's Sabbath”???
 WLC
This calendar uses the sighting of the first
visible crescent, the New Moon, for beginning
the months and welcoming the weekly Sabbaths
occurring on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th.
WLC now believes that this is Yahuwah's
true time measurement.
Scripture references LORRAINE
I have resoundingly demonstrated from these same
infallible Scriptures, that WLC is in error in
every single point of their argument for their
theory about the true Sabbaths occurring on the
8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th of every lunar month since
Creation.
Therefore, the traditional Hebrew calendar has
been proven to be the true one, and I have shown
that the Sabbath does not invariably fall on
the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th days of each month
of every year.
The Sabbath can, and does, fall on any date
of the lunar month.
Does someone from WLC go to Jerusalem at
the time of New Moon every month, to
observe this phenomenon? That is what is required
by the Jewish calendar.
I believe that WLC was originally challenged to
research this topic by my own compelling proofs
(which I sent them in 2009), that according to the
traditional 7-day week, the Crucifixion cannot
possibly have occurred in 31 AD as Ellen G.
White states.
This is because in 31 AD, according to every
Hebrew calendar and NASA calculations,
Passover fell on MONDAY, March 26.
Ellen White however (who never even thought to
check the day of the week for Passover in 31 AD),
disagreed with the traditional Jewish dates, and
announced that Passover in 31 AD did not fall in
March, but in April.
Even so, she still could not force God's calendar to
WLC Scripture references LORRAINE
line up with her, because had Passover actually
fallen a month later (it did NOT!) then Passover 31
AD would anyway not have fallen on Friday, but on
WEDNESDAY 25 April.

Ellen White happily assumed that Passover

was on Friday in 31 AD, since these years all
fitted neatly into her scheme of prophetic
fulfilment ~
• 457 BC: Artaxerxes' decree, start of 2,300
years ; start of 70 weeks
• 27 AD: Jesus' baptism; start of 70th week
• 31 AD: Cross; middle of 70th week
• 34 AD: Stephen's martyrdom; end of 70th
week
• 1844 AD: Investigative Judgement in
heaven; end of 2,300 years.

SDAism has dogmatically insisted on all these

dates ever since, even though ~
• Artaxerxes never gave a decree to rebuild
Jerusalem;
• and even if he had, there is no way to date it
to 14 Tisri, 457 BC (which it must be if
Jesus died on 14 Nisan);
• it is absolutely not possible to date the
baptism of Jesus;
• in particular, not to 14 Tisri in 27AD;
• Jesus' ministry was just over 2 years, not
3 ½ years, as it included only 3
Passovers;
• Passover occurred on Monday in 31 AD;
• there was no HIGH SABBATH
(Shabbat Hagadol) after Passover in
31 AD;
• there is absolutely no way to date Stephen's
stoning;
WLC Scripture references LORRAINE
• particularly not to 14 Tisri, 34 AD;
• 3 ½ years from Passover, 14 Nisan, falls
on 14 Tisri, NOT on 10 Tisri, the Day
of Atonement;
• therefore, the 2,300 years should end
at 14 Tisri, NOT 10 Tisri;
• 14 Tisri is not an Appointed Feast Day
of any kind;
• The Day of Atonement in 1844 fell on
SEPTEMBER 23, NOT October 22,
anyway;
• 2,300 evenings and mornings does not
equal 2,300 years;
• there is no mention of an Investigative
Judgement in the Bible;
• and nobody has been to heaven to check
whether Jesus has been clearing sins out of
God's holy throne room since 1844.

This fact, that Passover in 31 AD was

definitely not on FRIDAY as Scripture requires,
instantly throws the entire SDA theology on its
head. The complete SDA prophetic timeline is
disjointed irreparably, since the Millerites and
Ellen White immutably tied both the 70 Weeks
dates, and the 2,300 evenings and mornings
prophecy, to the date of the Cross.

Fracture the link to the Cross whether on March

26 OR April 25, 31 AD, and every other date
necessarily collapses.

Most significantly for Millerites and White-ites, the

entire “Investigative Judgement” structure
crumbles and falls, as it cannot possibly have
begun on October 22 in 1844, as SDAs teach.

If their Investigative Judgement is proven false,

 WLC
If scriptural proof can be provided to
demonstrate that this is in error, please
share with WLC.
Scripture references LORRAINE
then their entire raison d'être is shown to be a
sham, a monstrous hoax ~ and they cannot face
such a possibility. Although WLC has separated
themselves from SDAs, their basic tenets are still
identical with Ellen White's original teachings, as is
shown by their devotion to her books, and their
zeal in disseminating them to so many.
Hence their desperation to defend the Investigative
Judgement. Without it, all their faith and
missionary zeal has been for nought; and if the
Sabbath is truly on the seventh day of every week,
then the 1844 Investigative Judgement is indeed
proven false.
The only way to force a 31 AD Cross onto the 6th
day of the week, was ~ to change the date of the
Sabbath! What a clever ploy – to alter the
Creator's Sabbath so that it invariably falls
on the 15th day in every lunar month;
then Passover, 14 Nisan, MUST invariably
be the 6th day of the week, in every year;
and hey presto, the Cross in 31 AD MUST
have been on the 6th day of the week!
WLC has certainly put a huge effort into proving
their theory, but they have failed utterly.
After having accused the Roman Catholic Church
of “changing the Sabbath” for years, now WLC is
guilty of changing the Sabbath themselves,
to service their own White-ite agenda.
The Hebrew calendar, with its unbroken cycle of 7-
day weeks, stands now as it has since Moses.

Martin Luther was, tragically, a violently anti-

divine mandate and obligation to kill all Jews.
Following Martin Luther, White-ites maintain a

Thankyou for this encouraging invitation.
This is certainly an interesting topic. I have been

William Miller had the grace to repent of his

Samuel Snow was a crazy delusional man who

Ellen White admitted that she did not have

This is not how the Biblical prophets operated.
They could not summon up a vision at will, to settle
an issue of contention in the congregation.
Prophecy is a rare, divine act of the sovereign God,
which invariably agrees in every point with the
written Word.
