When the earth was finished it
brought forth its first fruit --
The day.
The first complete day was the seventh day of creation and the
Sabbath began the world as we know it. These seven days were
to be considered a measurement of time forever --
A week . The week is the
last vestigial element of Jehovah's calendar that continues to
the time in which we live. The measurement of the day has been
polluted. The measurements of months and years have been
polluted. However, the week is the last measurement of time
that has remained, and try as one might to find a historical
rationale for doing so, there is no reason to measure days in
this arbitrary fashion other than the record of Scripture that
the week is, indeed, seven days long.
As children of Jehovah we
should make ourselves familiar with His calendar. He has
left us with the Scriptures to calculate and identify His
moedim. (His appointed times, seasons.) If they were not
important, or left to the discretion or arbitrary alteration
of man, He would not have so clearly outlined their
demarcation in His holy Scriptures. He told us when a
day starts - when a day ends - when the months start and when
the beginning of years are to be marked. We have compiled this
Biblical information into a printable calendar --
