March 21, 2009, is a date that most of us recognize as symbolic of changing seasons. In 2010 this Vernal Equinox happens on Mar 20th, 2010. At 11:32 a.m.   As we welcome spring, people south of the equator are actually gearing up for the cooler temperatures of autumn. What Happens at the Equinox?

Far from being an arbitrary indicator of the changing seasons, March 21 (March 20 in some years) is significant for astronomical reasons. On Mar 20, 2010 at 11:32 a.m. Wheatland Time,  the Sun will cross directly over the Earth's equator. This moment is known as the vernal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. For the Southern Hemisphere, this is the moment of the autumnal equinox.

 

Equinox Means "Equal Night"   Translated literally, equinox means "equal night." Because the sun is positioned above the equator, day and night are about equal in length all over the world during the equinoxes. A second equinox occurs each year on September 22 or 23;  In 2010 this will be on Sept 22, 2010.  This date will mark the autumnal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the vernal equinox in the Southern (vernal denotes "spring").

In order to have the Passover and Equinox in the first month, and the spring green starting in March I have picked March before the equinox as the biblical 1st day of the year.  I looked at all the discussion regarding having the 1st day of the year before or after the Equinox and with all the angles of suggested and quoted scriptures and finally think that the 1st day can be before the equinox, so Passover can be in the first month.

Biblical Holy Day Calendar for 2010 (Bases on the Moon)  
The New Moon 2010  (1st day of Year) is on Mar 15th at 21:03 making Mar 16th the New Moon,  Mountain Daylight Time.  As it is the end of the day, it  makes Mar 16th, the 1st day of the year.  Mar 16th could be the First Day of the year.

   This makes the first day of the First Month on  Mar 16th.  
This 16th day probably reflects the day of the rebirth of the Moon.  The true invisible conjunction.

Passover Mar 29th, 2010  (Starts evening before On Mar 28th.)
Counting to Abib 14.  Abib 14 starts when the sun goes down.

    The commanded Passover Meal is after sundown on the beginning of Abib 14.  (Of Mar 29th, 2010) 
    The commanded service of taking the bread, wine and foot washing comes after the main (regular) meal.  This is
    Christ's Passover meal also.  We will also observe that Special Night to be Much Observed (Exo. 12.42), not
   Abib 15 as the traditional doctrine believes.  (see Passover is the Feast)

The First Day of Unleavened Bread starts late afternoon on Mar 28th, 2009  at the going down of the sun.  Making that the Passover day and 1st Day of UB.  Mar 28th, that evening before would be Christ's Passover Ceremony.  April 4th 2010 would be the last day of UB or the 20th day of the 1st month. This then matches the OT with the NT.
       The First Holy Day will  continue all through the 1st day. (Which is the 14th day of Abib).  The Unleavened Bread will last for only 7 days which is called the Feast of the Passover.   (See this explanation) Not 8 days as one scripture indicates, which is conflict with all of the rest.

         The Seventh day of the Feast of the Passover (Unleavened Bread) is on Apr  4th, 2010.
            This last (7th) day coincides with Abib 20. and ends the 7-- 24 hr periods at about 7:00 in the
            evening of Apr 4th. (Or as is stated "until" (the start) of the 21st day of Abib...)
 

      Apr 3, 2010  is the Feast of First of the First Fruits   (Sunday) or:
        Waive Sheaf Day (Sunday) Apr 3, 2010  (Lev 23:9-14)   
          Go to the weekly Sabbath during the week of UB.  
          Then morning after the Sabbath.  It is Waive Sheaf  Sunday. 
        ("...on the day after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.)
                Is that in the Bible?  Is it a Holy Day?   Is it to be kept forever?
             

   Feast of Weeks    May 24th, 2010  (Monday)   (Pentecost) Article 1,  Article 2,  An old Pastor Understood this.
     Article 3   
Lev 23:15  'And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed.  Lev 23:15  'And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, (In other words, the day after the Sabbath is Sunday) from (Sunday) the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: (the day after Sunday is day one) seven Sabbaths shall be completed.
 What is the day after the Wave sheaf Sunday?  Simply that is Monday and Monday is Day (1) one in our count to 50.  Pentecost means count 50, not 49. 

            Feast of Trumpets      Sept 9th, 2010 

             New Moon on Sept 8th at 10:30 a.m. 2010  Mountain Daylight Time.
             So  Sept 9th, 2010 would be the exact 1^st day of the 7^th month or Trumpets, since the new moon is about 7 hrs. before sundown on the 9th. The New Moon or the 1st Day of the 7th Month would be on that 9th day.)    It will still be a new moon (dark) on into the moon on the 9th.  So to make a better balance for the full moon.  (Even though the bible does not recon the feasts by the full moon, probably the Feast of  Trumpets should start at sundown on Sept 9th, 2010 about 7 hrs later after the 8th.

It would make the Feast of Tabernacles come out on Sept 23, 2010   Actually the Full Moon is Sept 23 at 9:19 a.m.  So that evening before will be a  full moon too.

So that night On Sept 23rd evening, would have a full moon also.  
           
           Day of Atonement  Sept 18, 2010   (Lev. 23:27) Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement:
 

            Feast of Tabernacles (7 day Feast of Tabernacles)  September 23, 2010.   Lev 23:34 The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD.

            (The Full moon is on  Sept 23 at 9:19 a.m.   MDT
             First Day of the Feast of Tabernacles is on  Sept 23, 2010  the Full moon and the 1st day of FOT is about the same exact time.     The 1st day of the Feast of Tabernacles  would start On  Sept 23, 2010    (The 15th day of the 7th Month)

            Last Great Day   September 30th, 2010

This is all calculated in MST and not Jerusalem Time.  As we do not observe the Sabbath based on Jerusalem time but on MST or sundown to sundown in the area of which we live.

Forbidden Days - Postpone God’s Holy Days ??            Problems with the Hebrew Calendar
Jewish Reasoning or "Forbidden Days"       The UCG does not understand the Jewish Calendar
Admissions on the Calculated Rabbinical Calendar               Inconveniences are not Postponements

The Holy Day arrangement for the year is determined by rules (traditions of men) that aim to prevent Yom Kippur (Atonement) from occurring either before or after the Sabbath. Thus making the "Day of Preparation" (Fri.) or the Preparation for the weekly Sabbath, more important than the High Day.
