Welcome to The Lunar Sabbath Encyclopedia The encyclopedia dedicated to explaining the Lunar Sabbath

What is a Lunar Sabbath? The Lunar Sabbath is the most controversial and misunderstood doctrine that applies to both Christianity and Judaism. It is also a difficult theology to understand because of stumbling blocks like these: The Sabbath isn't always on Saturday? The New Moon Day isn't a day of the week? How do you know when the Sabbath is supposed to be? Is there evidence in the Bible that people observed Lunar Sabbaths? These questions, and more, are addressed here in the Lunar Sabbath Encyclopedia! Here are some of the main topics that you'll find answers for: Lunar Sabbath Definitions and Examples A Sabbath that can fall on any day of the week sounds confusing enough... but what about things like New Moon days and Extended Worship Days? A good place to start is the Lunar Sabbath Calendar page. There you can find clear explanations of what a Lunar Sabbath is, how to calculate it, and sample calendars to explain the concept visually. Scriptural Foundations The theology of Lunar Sabbaths is built upon a foundation of many different scriptures in the Bible. The definition of seasons, and the rationale for the moon determining the timing of the Sabbath, can be found on the Sabbaths and Moedim page. There are also in-depth pages for specific verses and definitions, such as Ezekiel 46:1 and Chag. Pentecost The most controversial topic regarding Lunar Sabbaths is also the one that is most debated: Pentecost. Critics argue that the Counting of the Omer directly contradicts the timing of Lunar Sabbaths. However, proponents have made a case for a Fourth Month Pentecost that does not conflict with the Lunar Sabbath Calendar. Which one is correct? Judge for yourself after reading the Pentecost page.
