1 1 The following interlinear word study is intended to reveal that there are yet precious truths to be discovered that have remained hidden just below the surface of all the Scriptural translations. The most amazing revelations that are coming to light in this and other word studies tend to be on the theme of time, revealing the true and vital astronomical beacons the Creator ordained to govern them. Here, it is demonstrated that on the first seven days of creation, it was the LIGHT only that was to be called day. The darkness was to be called night. These two portions of a 24 hour civil calendar date cycle were to forever be distinguished from each other. Night was never intended to occupy any portion of time called day. Rather, a "day" was to be a twelve hour period of daylight only that begins at sunrise and ends and sunset(john 11:9). The order of time was very important to our Creator. From nothingness, emptiness, and darkness He called forth the light. The first thing He named was LIGHT. Darkness is not only the absence of LIGHT, but the absence of day (daylight). While the darkness of night was to be the interim between two daylights, the Creator ordained that the lunar phases demarcate each civil calendar date, forever distinguishing one from another by each unique lunar phase night by night. No creative works were accomplished during the darkness once the day and the night were distinctly severed from one another. However, the Eternal Creator ordained that each 24 hour "civil calendar date" was to be beaconed by the lunar phases together with the stars from sunset to sunset. It was this astro-lunar time signature that designates our Creator's qodesh calendar from all others. And he shall think to change times and laws. Daniel 7:25 Following the word study are point by point questions and answers to emphasize these newly revealed truths.

And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, Let there be light; and there was light. And God saw the light that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. So the evening and the morning were the first day. and Tav of earth. The earth consisted of NOTHINGNESS, EMPTINESS, AND DARKNESS, which were upon the face of the endless abyss. The Ruach (Spirit) of Alahim hovered over the face of the shamayim (deep space). Commandingly declared Alahim, Let there be LIGHT! And there was LIGHT. For behold, Alahim, the Aleph and Tav, is the LIGHT and absolute GOODNESS. And separating them, Alahim made a distinction of the LIGHT from the distinction of the darkness. Alahim called the LIGHT DAY (as opposed to night), and the darkness He called night (as opposed to day). And then followed dusk (the beginning of night), and then followed dawn (the end of night), the first 24 hour division of time. Questions and Commentary Ask yourself the following questions: 1. According to the word study above, who was the Creator in the beginning? Alahim! It has been surprising to discover that the Hebrew word translated as God is to be pronounced as Alahim rather than Elohim for the simple reason that the first letter at the right אלהים is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet and has the sound of A. Sometime in the last 400 years this self-evident truth was proactively coveredup. Perhaps this was done to remove as far as possible any link between the Hebrews and the Muslims. Try as they might the attachment can never be severed as both nations remain children of Abraham and continue to hold many words and alphabetical sounds in common. The Hebrews were descendants of Isaac, the son of the inheritance of the Melchizedek Priesthood, the seed and lineage of the long prophesied Yahusha ha Mashiach, who was to be the Lamb, Priest and King, whereas the Arabs are the descendants from Ishmael the son of a bond woman, yet heirs of a great (in size) nation. Both continue to name their children Abraham and Adam,

10 10 words that begin with this same letter. Aside from these, both religious groups hold very little in common. The Hebrew word Alahim, is a plural term that includes both the Almighty Father, Yahuah, and His Son, Yahusha, as together they created all things. Contrary to the text in most English translations, this first verse is explicitly identifying the marvelous qualities of the Creator Himself as the ALEPH and TAV,את the first and the last, the beginning and the end of all things animate and inanimate. 2. What are the attributes of Alahim the Creator, as identified in verse 1? Strikingly, the first mention of the shamayim and earth in verse one are not in reference to their being made, but rather they define the nature of the CREATOR ALAHIM. His title is the CREATOR OF THE SHAMAYIM AND THE EARTH. these define who He is. For He is the Aleph and Tav (beginning and end) of both the shamayim and the earth. These things that we see all around us did not exist without Him. He is the all in all of both. Nothing was created that did not come to be by the word of His mouth. Of profound importance in this first verse of Genesis is that the word את (Aleph and Tav), which is used twice in this Hebrew text and has in both cases been curiously and consistently left out of the translated English text. This word את identifies the CREATOR ALAHIM as the ALEPH and TAV, the first and the last, the beginning and the end of all things in the shamayim and on the earth. This grand introduction and ideology of the CREATOR being the ALEPH AND TAV of all things, is echoed and reechoed three times for emphasis in the book of Revelation in the Greek counterpart as the Alpha and Omega. For Yahusha, our Redeemer and Deliverer, identifies Himself as ONE with the Father at creation, and therefore both the author and finisher of our salvation. This carries profound implications for all those who look forward to His soon return. (For the popular view of the Hebrew word (eth #853) see bottom of article.) And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Revelation 22: Verse 2 lists three conditions that existed prior to the first act of Creation. What were they? Nothingness, emptiness and darkness. 4. Since darkness was included in this pre-existing condition, then is it possible that it was the first thing Alahim created? No! Just as our Creator did not create nothingness, or emptiness, He also did not create darkness. Rather, darkness is a synonym to nothingness and emptiness, representing the pre-existing condition that was void of anything created. Darkness is the reality that exists in an absence of LIGHT. On a side note, these verses further speak to the question of Geocentrism vs. Heliocentrism. While most of us have been fixed upon the paradigm that the universe

11 11 is sun centered, Genesis identifies several points that support an earth centered universe. The first is identified here. Nothingness, emptiness, and darkness is all that existed in space. Light, atmosphere and earth were created and then on the fourth day the sun, moon and stars were created, illustrating their supportive roll that centered around earth, the home of mankind, as the focus of the Creator Alahim. 5. In the second half of verse 2, the modern English Bible translations identify that Alahim hovered over the face of the waters. But is this contextually accurate? Simply all of us have believed that Alahim hovered over the face of the waters, for the very reason that we were taught that the Scriptures are without error. Yet, translations provide grand opportunities for proactive errors, and one of the ways to recognize these is when the CONTEXT IS NOT CONSISTENT. The creation of water is not applicable until verse 6 or 9. To change the Hebrew word from the waters to the shamayim (heavens) is a difference of a single letter,שׁ which carries the sh sound in sh mayim, otherwise it remains as the word mayim (waters). But with this said, this is not detrimental to the focus of this study, and I simply may be wrong on this. Contextually, it seems that at this point the focus is on the deep space, with Alahim hovering over the face of the deep space rather than water. For the next thing He did was separate the light from the darkness, which had nothing to do with water. 6. According to verse 3 in this study, what was the first thing that Alahim spoke into existence? LIGHT! 7. The LIGHT called forth from the Creator on this first DAY did not come from the sun, moon, or stars, as they were not created until the fourth day, so where did this LIGHT come from? It was the LIGHT of the CREATOR Himself, for it states in verse 4 that HE IS LIGHT.

12 12

13 13 8. According to verse 4, what attributes are declared about the Creator? He is both LIGHT and GOODNESS. 9. What unique thing did the Creator do with the LIGHT and the darkness that can still be viewed in the shamayim today? He made a distinction between them by severing and dividing the LIGHT from the darkness. So today, as in all ages of earth s history, darkness and LIGHT have never cohabitated or had communion one with the other. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has LIGHT with DARKNESS? Or what accord has the Messiah with Belial (ha Satan)? 2 Corinthians 6: In verse 4, what is the specific name Alahim gives for "LIGHT" to differentiate it from darkness? He called it DAY. 11. Is it not self-evident that the LIGHT that was called day is the same DAYLIGHT that we see each morning from sunrise to sunset? Yes! Approximately 4,000 years after creation, the Messiah, who was present as the creative WORD, came to earth and as a second witness defined the day as a twelve hour period of daylight. Yahusha answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. But if one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him." John 11:9-10 NKJV According to the Messiah, there is no darkness whatsoever included in the day. He drives this physical reality home with a spiritual principle by stating that if one walks in the night, the reason he stumbles is because there is NO LIGHT. Therefore, is it fair to say, there is no light in the belief that DAY begins with the darkness of night? Is this not self-evident? 12. In verse 4, what is the specific name Alahim gives for darkness to differentiate it from the day? He called the darkness night, the dark period from sunset to sunrise. Notice this dark period includes both the dusk that follows sunset as well as the dawn, just prior to sunrise. As a result, neither dawn nor dusk can be part of the day, but are part of the night. 13. According to verse 4 of this study, can the LIGHT of day and the DARKNESS of night be joined together as one unit, and both called by the same name of day? Absolutely NOT, because Alahim was making a specific distinction between the two by severing them from one another.

14 14 In addition to light and darkness being visibly distinct from one another and having differentiating names as given by the Creator, their names, day and night were divided into units of time on completely different time scales. Days are divided into twelve hours as the sun shines on a measuring instrument, such as a sundial. Hours are units of time beaconed by the visibility of the sun and its direct rays of light. While the hours and minutes vary in length depending on the time of year, there are always precisely twelve measurable hours (John 11:9). The time between the rising and the setting of the sun was divided into twelve equal parts, which were called hours. John 11:9. As this period of time, however, is longer at one season of the year than at another it is plain that the hours would also be of different length at different times. In winter they were, of course, shorter than in summer. They were numbered from the rising of the sun, and not from the middle of the day, as is common with us. Nevin's Biblical Antiquities, pp. 171,172. Day The sacred writers generally divide the day and night into twelve unequal hours. The sixth hour is always noon throughout the year; and the twelfth hour is the last hour of the day. But in summer, the twelfth: hour, as all the others were, was longer than in winter. Encyclopedia Religious Knowledge. The day was divided into twelve hours, which, of course, varied in length, being shorter in winter and longer in Summer. Watson's Biblical and Theological Dictionary. In contrast, the nights are divided into four night watches: The Evening Watch, the Midnight Watch, the Cockcrowing Watch, and the Morning Watch (Mark 13:35). So, here you have another distinction between days and nights, they are defined by completely separate units of time. Days are defined by hours of light from the sun (Genesis 1:14). Nights are divided into four time units known as night watches, which are defined by the moon and stars (Genesis 1:14). Refer to article, Visible Stars Define the Parameters of Day and Night.

15 15 The following graphic illustrates the division of light and darkness, day and night after the sun, moon and stars were created on day four. When created, these lights of the shamayim followed the precise divisions of time that were laid out in the first three days. This clarifies that TIME as displayed in the newly created lights was patterned after Alahim s seat of authority in the New Jerusalem. Therefore, earth s time system was synchronized to our Creator s preexisting pattern. 14. What is the best definition for DARKNESS? Darkness is the absence of LIGHT. 15. Since darkness is the absence of light, then is NIGHT the absence of DAY? Yes! They cannot be one and the same, as they were permanently separated by the Creator Himself. He gave them specific differentiating names and they are made up of opposing units of time. They are diabolic opposites. 16. When does the twelve hour day begin? It begins at sunrise. Contrary, to what many Jews and Saturday Sabbatarians believe, it is impossible for the day to begin at the darkness of night, according to the divisions of time set forth in Genesis 1: When does Genesis say that night begins? Night begins when the daylight ends, also known as sunset.

16 As a second witness, Genesis 1:14 states, Then Alahim said, "Let there be LIGHTS in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years. What purpose would a person have in going against the straight testimony of these first two well defined witnesses to proclaim that the day begins at night? Out of the rebelliousness of men s hearts they establish a lie. And from an unrepentant heart mankind fastens itself tightly to the errant traditions of men as opposed to seeking the word of truth with all diligence. Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. Titus 1:14 NKJV 19. The Jews and other Saturday Sabbatarians believe that the DAY (the name for the light) begins at sunset (night) (the name for darkness). Is this possible according to the definitions of day and night in these first five verses of Scripture? No, because this would be as sure as claiming that LIGHT equals DARKNESS, and by extension declare the Creator to be a liar. 20. Is there any thus saith Yahuah that the DAY (light) includes both daylight and the darkness of night? Nowhere in all of Scripture is this stated with a thus saith Yahuah. There are times that the translators have defined a full calendar date cycle as a day. But every time there is direction from the Father, Yahuah, regarding DAY as a unit of time, it is always referring to the daylight only, and does not include the darkness of night. He always differentiates the days and nights. 21. Verse 5 and others in Genesis 1 state that the evening and the morning were day... Doesn t this prove the day begins at night? The evidence above shows that what has always been translated as evening and morning, actually is reference to the first and last watch of the night, which commences at sunset and ends ar sunrise. Here in Genesis 1:1-5, the Creator has just made a distinction between the day and the night, and is now defining the exact point of time in which this distinction occurs. Daylight turns to night at sunset. Night turns to daylight at sunrise. Together they make up a full and complete 24 hour DATE CYCLE that commences at sunrise. For a thousand years in Your sight are like yesterday when it is past, And like a watch in the night. Psalms 90:4 The moment the night watches are past a new day begins. So the watches of the night are as yesterday when they are past. 22. According to verse 5, which comes first in order, the DAYLIGHT or the darkness of night? The daylight precedes the darkness of night as established in these first five verses of Genesis and supported throughout Scripture that carries the weight of evidence. Light was the first thing called forth and day was the first thing given a name. Every single day of Creation occurred during the LIGHT. Nothing that was made was done so between the evening and the morning. Rather, the evening and the morning followed each and every day of Creation.

17 Might it be the unclarified interjection of the terminology of evening and morning that gives cause for confusion on this subject between differing religious factions, as they struggle to harmonize when a day begins in Genesis 1:1-5 with the remainder of Genesis? Yes 24. So where is the problem that causes good folks to become confused between verse 4 and verse 5 of Genesis. Does the night (evening) come before the morning? Yes, but only after it has already followed the daylight of the first morning of creation. So in reality the day was first in order, then followed the first night watch, then followed the fourth night watch that completed the night. At sunrise the cycle began again. Therefore after the full first daylight of creation the following occurred: And then followed dusk (the beginning of night), and then followed dawn (the end of night), the first 24 hour cycle division of time. Genesis 1:5 The translators incorrectly placed the word so in the last sentence of each of the six days of creation story-line to represent the Hebrew word (hayah #1961). Yet, (hayah) cannot be represented by these words ever. The word (hayah #1961) means come to pass, to exist, to occur, follow, come to be, become, or happen. The dusk (beginning of night and dawn (the end of night) represent the first and last night watches, covering the length and breadth of the night, bringing one back to the starting point position in preparation to begin a new day at sunrise. The reason why this is so important is because descriptive language is being used to lay a foundation for the flow of TIME during the first week of Creation. As previously established, all the creative events occurred during the daylight of each day. As each day of creation is delineated we can then see first the Creation event of the daylight, then came the evening dusk, then came the morning dawn, as the two ends of the night watches. Below is a simple illustration delineating Creation s 12 hour day, and 24 hour cycle of time as it is outlined in each of six days of creation. the

19 19 As simple and surprising as this is, these verses from the word study above place Genesis 1 in harmony with the rest of Scriptures. By removing the falsified words so as well as and, then replacing it with the correct words two times in each sentence. Genesis 1 is in harmony with the Sanctuary services, specifically the morning and evening sacrifices. We can be certain this is correct, because now these first five verses of Scripture are perfectly in harmony with each other. Other Examples Each of these seven verses only found in Genesis 1 define the six days of creation, as the foundation for Scripture on when a day actually begins. However, they have all been translated incorrectly as So the evening and the morning. The words So and and was supplied by the translators to replace the real word and sabotage the true meaning of the text. Neither of the words so or and are even possible word choices. Utilizing the word study table above, the only options that fit appropriately in the context of Genesis 1:1-5 is the word then came, or then followed (hayah #1961). Genesis 1:5 Genesis 1:8 Genesis 1:13 Genesis 1:19 Genesis 1:23 Genesis 1:31 So the evening and the morning, day one. So the evening and the morning, day two. So the evening and the morning, day three. So the evening and the morning, day four. So the evening and the morning, day five. So the evening and the morning, day six. Below the word and has been removed and the correct words then came inserted. Genesis 1:5 Genesis 1:8 Genesis 1:13 Genesis 1:19 Genesis 1:23 Genesis 1:31 Then came evening, then came the dawn, date cycle one. Then came evening, then came the dawn, date cycle two. Then came evening, then came the dawn, date cycle three. Then came evening, then came the dawn, date cycle four. Then came evening, then came the dawn, date cycle five. Then came evening, then came the dawn, date cycle six. Each of these six verses below refers to the morning (boqer #1242) and evening (ereb #6153) in this order with no words between them whatsoever. Even though the word and appears, it is only there to connect the two words in the English language. These are correctly translated. 1 Samuel 17:16 morning and evening 1 Chronicles16:40 morning and evening

20 2 Chronicles 2:4 morning and evening 2 Chronicles 31:3 morning and evening Ezra 3:3 morning and evening Psalms 65:8 morning and evening 20 The following twenty five verses declare the day precedes the night by simply stating day and night. These are each translated correctly. Genesis 8:22; Exodus 13:21; Leviticus 8:35; Deuteronomy 28:66; Joshua 1:8; 1 Kings 8:59; 1 Chronicles 9:33; 2 Chronicles 6:20; Nehemiah 1:6; Nehemiah 4:9; Psalms 1:2; Psalms 32:4; Psalms 42:3; Psalms 55:10; Psalms 88:1; Jeremiah 9:1; Jeremiah 16:13; Jeremiah 33:20; Jeremiah 33:25; Lamentations 2:18; Luke 18:7; Acts 9:24; Revelation 7:15; Revelation 12:10; Revelation 20: When does verse 5 clarify that the evening occurred? Did it occur before or after the LIGHT had been called into existence? The evening occurred after the LIGHT was called forth. This occupies a period of time beginning at sunset when there is a mixing of ambient light with darkness until all the light is extinguished. Then followed the evening (dusk), then followed the morning (dawn), one cycle of time. 26. According to the word study is there any possibility that Alahim in His phraseology, is declaring the DAY to begin at sunset and end the following sunset? No, because that would be the exact opposite of what is stated by making a distinction between LIGHT and darkness. LIGHT was to be day and darkness was to be night. Together, day and night make a complete 24 hour calendar date, but always in the order of daylight first. As we discovered above, the creative events occurred during the daylight, then came the dusk (evening), then came the dawn, cycle one. Just a few verses later this theme is magnified in Genesis 1:14-18 when the sun, moon, and stars were created and placed in the shamayim: Then Alahim said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the shamayim to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the shamayim to give light on the earth; and it was so. Then Alahim made two great lights: the greater

21 21 light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. Alahim set them in the firmament of the shamayim to give light on the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And Alahim saw that it was good... Genesis 1:14-18 Another point that supports that the daylight is first in order, and then is followed by the night, is in the names of the night watches. The last three night watches are by their very definitions watching for the next period of time. For example the Second Watch is watching for the Midnight, and is called the Midnight Watch. The Third Watch is watching for the time of the Cock Crowing, and is called the Cock Crowing Watch. The Fourth Watch is watching for the morning (sunrise), and is called the Morning Watch. The Morning Watch occupies the period of time when the eastern sky begins to grow light and ends at the first visible rays of sunlight at precisely sunrise. This is the period of time that is made up of a varying mixture of darkness with light. While it has some light, it is not pure unobstructed light, without a mixture of darkness. Webster s Dictionary Definition twilight 1. The light from the sky between full night and sunrise, and between sunset and full night. It is produced by the diffusion of sunlight through the atmosphere and its dust. Webster s Dictionary. Notice, there are two twilights every full date cycle. One begins at sunset and the other just one to two hours prior to sunrise. They behave as bookends for the day. Neither of these twilights are part of the day, as both are part of the darkness of night. The twilight that follows sunset occupies the entire period from sunset to full darkness and is called dusk or the First or Evening Watch. The twilight that precedes the sunrise occupies the period from first light of dawn to sunrise (rays of light), and is known as the Fourth or Morning Watch. In the language of the night watches, each watch is progressively watching for the first light of the sunrise that commences the day and ends the night. Now in the fourth watch of the night Yahusha went to them, walking on the sea. Matthew 14:25 The Scriptural principle here is that any mixture of darkness with light still equals darkness, just as any error mixed with truth still equals error. Any amount of poison in the cookie is still poison. Therefore, pure light equals truth and righteousness, while

22 any part of darkness mixed with light will always equal error and unrighteousness In verse 4 and 5 of this Hebrew word study and John 11:9 of the Renewed Covenant, when does the DAY begin and end? Sunrise to sunset, a twelve hour period of daylight, which is reckoned by hours and not by the four watches of the night. Yahusha answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. John 11:9 28. According to these same verses, when might a full date cycle begin and end? Sunrise to sunrise for a full 24 hour day/night cycle time division. 29. When the six days of creation were completed Alahim rested from all His work of creation. Does the record bear any statement that Alahim s rest was at the commencement of the darkness of night, or is it well established that it was during the daylight of day seven? Moses declares three times in Genesis 2:1-3 that Alahim rested on the seventh daylight as opposed to the night. Thus the shamayim and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. And on the seventh DAY Alahim ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh DAY from all His work which He had done. Then Alahim barakah (blessed) the seventh DAY and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which He had created and made. Genesis 2:1-3 NKJV 30. For a second witness, is there another place in Scripture where Moses records not only when a day begins, but when to commence the Sabbath? Indeed there is. It is found in Exodus 16:23-30 in reference to the manna and its application for gathering it on five work days, and a double portion on the sixth day to hold over through the Sabbath hours. Moses here is giving detailed instructions according to the word of Yahuah. Verse 23 Then he [Moses] said to them, "This is what Yahuah has said: 'Tomorrow is a Sabbath rest, a sacred Sabbath to Yahuah. Bake what you will bake today, and boil what you will boil; and lay up for yourselves all that remains, to be kept until morning.' " Verse 24 So they laid it up till morning, as Moses commanded; and it did not stink, nor were there any worms in it.

23 23 Verse 25 Then Moses said, "Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to Yahuah; today you will not find it in the field. Verse 26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, which is the Sabbath, there will be none." Verse 27 Now it happened that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, but they found none. Verse 28 And Yahuah said to Moses, "How long do you refuse to keep My commandments and My laws? Verse 29 See! For Yahuah has given you the Sabbath; therefore He gives you on the sixth day bread for two days. Let every man remain in his place; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day." Verse 30 So the people rested on the seventh day. Exodus 16:23-30 NKJV Notice in verse 23 that tomorrow is stated to be the Sabbath rest. It does not say, tonight is the Sabbath rest. They were to bake everything today and it would keep to the following morning, so they would not need to gather any, unlike the other days when it would stink and have worms by the next morning. Notice in verse 25 that tomorrow had now come, and it is the seventh day Sabbath. There is no manna on the ground to be gathered at the commencement of this Sabbath morning in stark contrast to each of the other six days. Notice in verse 26, each of the six days that began with sunrise, there was manna to gather, but at the commencement of the seventh daylight (sunrise), there was none. We find in verse 27 that some rebellious hearted and disobedient, went against the directions of Yahuah and went out on the seventh day at sunrise (because this is when the manna had for six days been given), but they found none. Verse 28 shows that it is imperative to keep Yahuah s commandments. This includes rightly defining and keeping the commencement of the Sabbath day from sunrise to sunset, as He has just demonstrated to Israel with the feeding schedule of the manna. The manna never was given at sunset, as would be necessary to support the day beginning at sunset. The manna was always given for the commencement of the daylight when the Israelites could visibly see it to gather it up.

24 24 Another key point is that in verse 23, Moses tells the people that the manna will be kept until the morning of the seventh day. On all the other six days, at morning, the exact same point in time, the manna would stink and breed worms. Nothing at all is even said about the night. Here, as a second witness, and as a nail in a sure place, it is illustrated that the day begins at morning. The only other option is to proactively choose to believe Jewish fables and the false traditions of men. Rome says the day begins at midnight. The Jews and other Saturday Sabbatarians teach the day begins at sunset, at the commencement of darkness. Yet, a thorough study of Genesis reveals some astonishing facts, leaving no room for guessing or following a false tradition of men. When the truth is presented and they refuse to open their eyes or ears to discern it, they will be led to believe a lie. And by their own admission, they metaphorically walk in darkness and the light of truth is not in them. But if one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the LIGHT is not in him." John 11: If the celebration of the sacred Sabbath day begins when the sun is going down, why would our Creator state that all nations shall praise His name and worship Him from the "rising of the sun, even to its going down?" One must ask themselves, why when so much is written on this must they continue to cling to opposing the LIGHT. For the DAY has never begun at night, neither at sunset or midnight. From the rising of the sun to its going down Yahuah s name is to be praised. Psalms 113:3 NKJV The Mighty One, Alahim, Yahuah, has spoken and called the earth from the rising of the sun to its going down. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, Alahim will shine forth. Psalms 50:1-2 NKJV For from the rising of the sun, even to its going down, My name shall be great among the Gentiles; in every place incense shall be offered to My name, and a pure offering; for My name shall be great among the nations," says Yahuah of hosts. Malachi 1:11 NKJV

25 Week of Creation 25 Both the Jews and Romans would have us believe that the week and its seventhday have cycled in an unbroken fashion since the first week of creation, with no connection whatsoever to the astronomical LIGHTS in the shamayim. Contrary to nearly 2,000 years of propaganda, the only way the Sabbath can be a sign or representative of the first week of creation is if it is connected to both the sun, moon, and stars. Only a Sabbath that is the fruit (unit of time) of the sun, moon, and stars can be a true memorial of the first creation week. In contrast, a week that cycles without end, having no ties to the sun, moon, or stars does not qualify as an ambassador of the Creator or His created and ordained time mechanism in the shamayim. The Sabbath s are the divinely designated seventh daylights as they are counted from each full New Moon day as illustrated in the image below.

26 26 Sabbaths as Signs Moreover I also gave them My Sabbaths, to be a sign (#226 owth) between them and Me, that they might know that I am Yahuah who sanctifies them. Yet, the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness; they did not walk in My statutes; they despised my judgments, which, if a man does, he shall live by them; and they greatly defiled My Sabbaths. Ezekiel 20:12-13 NKJV I am Yahuah your Alahim: Walk in My statutes, keep My judgments, and do them; hallow My Sabbaths, and they will be a sign (#226 owth) between Me and you, that you may know that I am Yahuah your Alahim. Ezekiel 20:19-20 NKJV They also who dwell in the farthest parts are afraid of Your signs (#226 owth); you make the outgoings of the morning and evening rejoice. Psalms 65:88 NKJV Your enemies roar in the midst of Your meeting place; they set up their banners [counterfeit calendars with continuous weekly cycles] for signs (#226 owth). Psalms 74:4 NKJV We do not see our signs (#226 owth); there is no longer any prophet; nor is there any among us who know how long [time]. Psalms 74:9 NKJV Do not learn the way of the Gentiles; do not be dismayed at the signs (#226 owth), of the shamayim for the Gentiles are dismayed at them. For the customs of the peoples are futile... Jeremiah 10:2-3 NKJV He appointed the moon for seasons [sacred assemblies marked by the full New Moon]... Psalms 104:19 NKJV 32. Is there a third witness in Scripture that declares Alahim called forth the DAY to begin at sunrise and end at sunset? Yes! Turn away mortal man from eternal destruction; and answer the call for restoration all you children of Adam. For a thousand [astro-lunisolar] years resemble days of yesterday when they are past, as the watches of the night are carried away in sleep. It becomes then, the break of day as herbs springs forth. This break of day sparkles and shines in renewal. Night is cut off in circumcision and withers away. Psalms 90:3-6

27 Refer to Hebrew study, The Night is Cut Off as in Circumcision. 27 Word Definition #1689 Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament (TWOT) corresponds to #6153 in Strong s Concordance ereb: Evening, night. Likely developed from the expression, the setting of the sun, sunset. Includes: to enter, to go down of the sun... ereb is found 131 times in the OT. The phrase there was an evening and there was a morning occurs six times in the creation narrative (Genesis 1:5-31), delimiting the six days of divine creativity activity. This phrase would indicate that in ancient Israel a day began with sunrise. Some have felt this at variance with the Jewish practice of regarding sunset as the beginning of the next day. Cassuto, after dealing the Biblical data and the Jewish custom, concludes that there was only one system of computing time: the day is considered to begin in the morning... This judgment appears vindicated in the employment of ereb in Levitical legislation respecting uncleanness. One was considered unclean because of certain acts until the evening (Lev. 11:24, plus thirty times). This means, that a person was unclean for the duration of the daylight only. The Weight of Evidence 1. Both the Father and Son together as the Aleph and Tav of Alahim, created all things. 2. Darkness was categorized with emptiness and nothingness, none of which are created elements, but rather are an absence of intelligent design. 3. The first thing the Creator called into existence was LIGHT. 4. The first thing the Creator named was LIGHT, calling it DAY. 5. Alahim is Himself LIGHT during the first 3 days of creation. 6. LIGHT and DARKNESS were eternally severed from each other both visibly and by name. 7. There are twelve hours in a day, commencing precisely at sunrise and ending precisely at sunset, as beaconed by the sunlight on a receiving sundial.
