When is the beginning of a new month and year?
Let
us continue to unveil the huge cloud of deception that is hovering over the
whole earth for centuries, a deception that was centuries ago revealed to the
prophet Daniel because, the word of God clearly states that, “Surely the Lord
GOD does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.”
And so to the prophet Daniel the Lord revealed saying; “He (referring to the
fourth beast which is the Roman Empire which is being ridden by the great whore
the mother of harlots) shall speak pompous words against the Most High, shall
persecute the saints of the Most High, and shall intend to change times and law”
(Amos
3:7; Daniel 7:25).
Please
bear in mind that the change of times and law is not as trivial and
inconsequential as many people believe they are because they reflect and
represent two divergent kingdoms; one represents the kingdom of light and the
other represents the kingdom of darkness. The laws which represent the kingdom
of light are immutable, meaning that they are unchangeable, and the Lord who
ordained them is said to be impartial, meaning that He has no favoritism and
that they are applicable everywhere around the world in similar ways, He is
also a jealous God and will not share His glory with no other. For thus says
the Lord; “I am the LORD, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to
another, nor My praise to carved images” (Isaiah 42:8).
Some
people want to question the idea of God being a jealous God. But it is the Lord
Himself who after revealing Himself to Moses said; “You shall have no other
gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image, any likeness of
anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is
in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them.
For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the
fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate
Me”
(Exodus 20: 3-5; 34:14).
The
reason why God is a jealous God it is because we are giving His adversaries the
preeminence over Him by giving them the honor and glory that is due to Him and
to Him alone. Therefore, the premise on which we are to build our thesis with
regards to times and law which the Lord has ordained for His creation is that,
they are immutable and are designed to honor and glorify the Lord and not to
any other created being whose quest is to be worshiped just as the Lord. There
is a huge disparity between light and darkness, one was formed and the other
was created.
For
thus says the Lord; “I am the LORD, and there is no other; There is no God
besides Me. I will gird you, though you have not known Me, that they may know
from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is none besides Me. I am the
LORD, and there is no other; I form the light and create darkness, I make peace
and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these things' (Isaiah
45:5-7).
The
light that was formed is Jesus Christ who according to the apostle John, “No
one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the
Father, He has declared Him.’ Jesus Christ therefore was not created, but was formed
in the bosom of the Father and this is what He said; “Do you not believe that I
am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not
speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. Believe
Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the
sake of the works themselves” (John 14:10-11).
When
Jesus Christ came into the world He said, “He who believes in Him is not
condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not
believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the
condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather
than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates
the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed” (John
1:18; 3:18-20).
But
the darkness that was created is Satan the devil as alluded to by the prophet
Ezekiel who wrote; “Thus says the Lord GOD: "You were the seal of
perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You were in Eden, the garden
of God; every precious stone was your covering: The sardius, topaz, and
diamond, Beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold.
The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes was prepared for you on the day you
were created. You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; you
were on the holy mountain of God; you walked back and forth in the midst of
fiery stones. You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, till
iniquity was found in you” (Ezekiel 28:13-15).
Having
established these important factors let us now confirm when the beginning of a
new month and a new year is.
