The Ten Commandments Calendar 2010 with the Feasts of the Lord is now
available.

From the page About The Calendar:
This calendar is intended to be a place where the Commandments of God
and scriptures about them can be readily accessed and held as
“frontlets between the eyes” and in the “right hand of agreement and
acceptance“ in the hope that the physical exercise will produce
spiritual fruit.
The weekly Sabbath and the annual Feasts of the Lord are germane to
the acceptable manner of worship declared by God. “Speak to the
children of Israel, and say unto them, ‘Concerning the feasts of the
Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are
my feasts‘” (Lev. 23:2).
“Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, ‘Verily my
sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout
your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth
sanctify you’” (Exodus 31:13).
By observation of the new moons we can identify and count from the
first month of the solar year for the Lord’s Passover and the Feast of
Unleavened bread to the seventh month for the Feast of Trumpets, Day
of Atonement, the Feast of Tabernacles and the Last Great Day. The sun
and the moon have remained unswerving in their courses set by the
Creator. The solar year begins at the Vernal Equinox. The months of
the lunar year are marked by the new moons between one vernal equinox
and the next. There are periodically eleven, twelve or thirteen new
moons. This is precisely as the Creator planned. He has already “set
the clock” which needs no human adjustment. Our duty is to observe and
count the new moons. The Roman year 2010 will see a thirteenth new
moon which is the last new moon of winter, just five days before the
Vernal Equinox of 2010. The first new moon of the new solar year
occurs April 14th, 1220 UT. The first full day of that lunar cycle
marks the Beginning of Months. -

The Jewish Calendar begins the count prematurely with that thirteenth
new moon of winter five days before the Vernal Equinox.
The calendar is now designed to travel by e-mail for home printing and
assembly making it easy to forward to others or to construct as many
as you want at home. If you need help - ask me.
The calendar 2009 has been available under "Files" but there have been
no comments about it, so I don't know if you found it or not.
Let me know if you are interested. I can e-mail the package to you, or
upload the files. If you need help with the printing let me know.

Hello Theda,
I would like a copy of the 2010 calendar please.  I guess you are not going to post it on the website like you did the 2009 calendar?

Here's a link to the page:
http://groups.google.com/group/the-ten-commandments-calendar/files?hl=en

but you might like to check it against the Karaite Jew's calendar.
They continue to do it the way it was done in the time of Moses and
the time of Christ. They haven't posted the 2010 dates yet, but you
can see that last year didn't match. It's the difference between the
rabbi's calculated calendar and the sacred calendar as given by God.

Here's a link to the sacred calendar:
http://www.karaite-korner.org/holiday_dates.shtml

and you can read on their website why there is a difference in the two
different calendars currently kept by Jews
http://www.karaite-korner.org/

I'd also like to say that there is nothing new about the light of the
moon disappearing into total darkness, it's the first visible light
that is new. Just because modern science has changed the definition of
"new moon" doesn't mean we should read that change into our bibles.
And God didn't say the vernal equinox starts the year, he said the
first month is the month in which you will have the firstfruits for
the wave sheaf offering. If you go by the vernal equinox, you will be
off. If you wait until the first new moon after the vernal equinox for
the first day of the first month, you will sometimes be a month too
late. The vernal equinox always falls within the first month of the
sacred calendar, but it's often (or always?) after the first day of
the first month of the sacred year.

If you don't believe man has the authority to change the Sabbath from
the 7th day to the 1st day, then neither should you accept that Rabbis
have the authority to make changes to the new moons and holy days.
That is what the calculated calendar is - changes and modifications to
what God said.

to The Ten Commandments Calendar
When one moon phase ends, the new moon phase begins and there is no
light visible but there is a new moon cycle. It begins in darkness as
the previous moon cycle ends in darkness. One immediately follows the
other. No light is visible.
Genesis 1: 14 tells us that from the beginning the lights in the
firmament of heaven are for signs, seasons, days and years.
The circuit of the sun defines a year. It begins and ends at the
Vernal Equinox.
Psalms 19: 1-3 tells us that these same lights define day and night,
which show knowledge and speak to every language. What are they
saying?
God speaks to us about signs, seasons, days and years through his
instruments of time, the sun and the moon. The two work together; the
sun to define a year and the moon to define a month. There is an
eleven day difference between the cycles of the sun and the moon.
Since the Feasts of the Lord are assigned to the first month and the
seventh month we know there is a place to begin and a place to end. He
has given us the sun and the moon to define time.
The first moon cycle of spring can only be after the Vernal Equinox.
Periodically there will be either eleven, twelve or thirteen new moons
from one Vernal Equinox to the next. If the moon phase begins in
winter then it is a moon of winter. The first new moon of the new year
is the beginning of months.

You said - "The vernal equinox always falls within the first month of
the sacred calendar, but it's often (or always?) after the first day
of
the first month of the sacred year."
The sun's circuit is completed when the season changes from winter to
spring. That seasonal change is triggered by a position of the sun
known as the Vernal Equinox. Are we trying to identify the first month
(complete moon phase) of the new solar year? Or is it the "year of the
month" that we need?
It's very much like minutes and hours. Do we ask what hour of the
minute it is? Or do we ask what minute of the hour?
When it's five minutes 'til twelve noon...is it noon yet? Not yet.
Close, but still in the eleventh hour. First find the year, then find
the months within that year.

In the Roman year 2010 the Jewish calendar counts the last new moon of
winter (the true 13th month as God designed) as the beginning of
months. The dates for the Jewish Passover and Sukkot are posted in the
Ten Commandments Calendar according to the Jewish calendar which does
not agree (in 2010) with the lights in the firmament of heaven.
There are many who depend on the Jewish Calendar for the dates of the
Feasts of the Lord. Sometimes the Jewish Calendar agrees with the sun
and the moon and sometimes not. There is the thought that Judaism,
having a strong advantage because the Jews were given the oracles of
God, must be the authority on calendar matters. The Jews assuredly
were given advantage but even with that advantage they failed to
recognize the Christ and they still proclaim the one we call Lord to
be a false god and an idol. Remember that antichrist is defined as
anyone who denies that Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ. Could they
also be mistaken on the calendar?
Are we not to prove all things and hold fast that which is good? Or do
we follow blindly because it's just too complicated to figure it out
for ourselves and maybe some authority figure has convinced us that we
can't understand.

I have proven (to myself) that the Jewish Calendar is often in error
while the lights in the firmament of heaven are always correct and
faithful to the Creator's command.
I do not look to Judaism as my authority. That is my choice. You have
your choice and a responsibility to do as you think best and to have
the courage of your conviction. You should not act on my
conviction...but I must.

The sequence of the Feasts of the Lord begins on the fourteenth day of
the first month at even. Remember that days and months and years are
defined by God's lights in the firmament of heaven, not by the abib
of barley.

Hi Pat,
I'm no expert but something that is to be considered always in scripture is the context.  The authority for the appointed times was given during creation week and from what I can see there had nothing to do with the barley.  The Sabbath was given during creation week also. 
 
Let's look at the scriptures where the barley is discussed and see what we can learn about what is being taught and what the context is okay?

Hi Theda,

I'm glad that you care and are are fully convinced of your belief, but
I have to say two things. If you're going to publish a calendar
telling people when to observe God's holy days, than you should be
sure to be in agreement with what God said to do. You don't want to be
telling people to go by ANY man's opinions if they are contrary to
what God said.

The second thing is that you are fully convinced that you are supposed
to be going by the vernal equinox and not by abib, but what the bible
says about it says we are to go by abib. The scriptures tell us that's
a stage of ripeness of barley.

The Karaite Jews have addressed this so I'm going to paste their
answer from
http://www.karaite-korner.org/abib_faq.shtml#gen_1_14

Q: Doesn't Genesis 1:14 show that the Vernal Equinox, not the barley,
determine the holy day seasons?

We read in Gen 1,14:

"And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven, to
divide between the day and the night and they will be for signs and
for times (Moedim) and for days and for years."

From this verse it is not clear what is dependent on what. Certainly
no mention of the Vernal Equinox is made. Perhaps the year is
dependent on the moon or the stars? If the year is dependent on the
sun, then what about the sun effects the beginning of the year? Gen
1,14 does not specify these things and we must turn to other Biblical
passages to get a more precise understanding of the Biblical calendar.
In Dt 16,1 we read:

"Keep the month of the Abib and make the Passover (sacrifice) to YHWH
your God at night, because in the month of Abib YHWH your God took you
out of Egypt"

Similarly we read:

"You will keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread; seven days you will eat
unleavened bread, as have I commanded you, at the time of the month of
the Abib, because in the month of the Abib you went out of Egypt." (Ex
34,18)

The word "Abib" refers to barley which has reached a certain stage in
its development. This meaning of Abib is preserved in the verse:

"And the flax and the barley were smitten, because the barley was Abib
and the flax was Giv'ol. And the wheat and the spelt were not smitten
because they were dark (Afilot)." (Ex 9,31-32)

To keep the Passover Sacrifice in the Month of the Abib requires
taking the Abib (ripening barley) as an indicator of the beginning of
the year. This is entirely consistent with Gen 1,14, for the ripening
of the barley is dependent on the seasons of the year and therefore
indirectly is controlled by the sun. Central factors, which cause the
barley to ripen, are the lengthening of the days and the increasing
sunlight, changes in humidity, and other factors which affect the
environment. Therefore, it is the sun, which indirectly causes the
barley to ripen, and thereby acts as an indicator of years. It is this
indirect effect which causes the barley to become Abib which Gen 1,14
is referring to when it says the sun and moon will be for years.

It should be noted that the equinox is never mentioned in the entire
Hebrew Bible. Gen 1,14, which has often been cited as proof of the
equinox theory, does not mention the equinox either.
>
>


Also, all the Jews on both sides of the new moon issue will tell you
that no Jew ever went by the dark moon being the new moon until Rabbis
made this change centuries after the time of Christ. All the Jews will
tell you that Moses and Jesus went by the first visible light, not the
conjunction or dark moon. The majority of Jews today have accepted,
adopted, and follow the rabbinical changes of Hillel II in the 4th
century AD, but a minority refused. They came to be called
"Scripturalists" which is what Karaite means. They felt like we do
about the change to Sunday, that men do not have the authority to
override and change what God commanded.

Which side of this do you want to be on? Which side do you want to
tell people to follow? Be careful, teachers will be judged more
harshly, Jas.3:1 "My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we
shall receive the greater condemnation." At least take a good look at
what the bible says about abib before you reject it. Perhaps you are
counting the holy days yourself and have not adopted the Rabbis
postponements, and that's good! So why adopt any of their changes?
Because modern science has made the same change in definition of "new
moon" shouldn't be a reason to depart from the way Moses and Jesus did
it.

The Hebrew word that is translated abib is translated more than one
way: Abib 6, in the ear 1, green ears of corn 1.
Here's a link to a page shows all 8 instances of this word:
http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H24&t=KJV&sstr=1

If you can read that and say we aren't supposed to go by abib, I'll be
surprised.

Surprse! If there were no green barley would there still be a sun and
a moon? Yes. Without the influence of the sun, would there be any
barley at all? No.
The word "vernal" means "green" and "equinox" means "equal" or "even".
This is the time when the day becomes of equal length witht the night,
with the days becoming progressively longer until the summer solstice.
It's the increased sunlight that causes photosynthesis, producing
chlorophyl that makes the green color in ripening plants. Without the
sun - no abib!
I absolutely do not want anyone to follow me. Follow the signs in the
firmament of heaven that were placed by the Creator. The one who
became Jesus Christ is our only intermediary. He fulfilled the
prophecy of the Wave Sheaf offering which we no longer wave or offer,
in the same way that we no longer sacrifice a lamb without blemish.
You said: "You don't want to be telling people to go by ANY man's
opinions if they are contrary to what God said."
I absolutely agree.I am saying further that we should not go by any
man's opinion whether he agrees with God or not, unless it is YOUR
opinion that YOU are going by, in which case no one has the right to
judge you except God. I am not telling you which calendar to follow.
It's your choice. I am saying that when the position of the sun is
right (at the equinox) everything will be increasingly green.

I have not produced the Ten Commandments Calendar in an effort to gain
a following, at least not followers of me. Even the sun and the moon
obey the commandment of God. You may have noticed that the dates for
the Jewish Passover and Sukkot are posted in the calendar according to
the Jewish calendar dates as well as the dates of the three main Roman
holidays. That is for your convenience and information. I think those
Jewish dates are premature because they use the thirteenth new moon
(including the new crescent) which is the last moon of winter instead
of waiting for the first new moon (conjunction or crescent) of the new
year. The abib of Barley has never been the definition of a year. The
sun signals the duration of the year according to the Creator's
timing; not yours or mine or any Rabbi or priest - except, of course,
the timing of our High Priest seated at the right hand of God the
Father.

There have been those who thought to change times and laws. The Roman
Gregorian calendar is a good example. If we followed that calendar we
would be eating unleavened bread in January. The one constant we have
in identifying years, months, days, nights, seasons - is that faithful
duo, the sun and the moon. Our Creator gave them to us for that
purpose.

There are several different factions striving to keep the Feasts at
the correct time wth varying dates. I would encourage you to study all
of them. Prove all things. Make your decision and abide by your choice
with the understanding that education continues as we grow in God's
way. Then remember the simplicity that is in Christ.
There was a time when God "winked" at our childish misunderstandings,
because we were and still are "children". Yet we are to grow and
mature spiritually with the Creator's Holy Spirit guiding us into all
truth. No doubt, we will all have adjustments to make when the Lord
returns. Meanwhile we understand that He gives His holy Spirit only to
those who obey Him. Hence the Ten Commandments Calendar. Obey God.
Keep the commandments. That's what it's all about. The Feasts of the
Lord are listed as they appear in Leviticus 23. You are not required
to keep the dates as I see them. But I am. And so are others who are
in agreement. Only the Lord will judge.

Go to the home page. Click on FILES.
I don't know what dates the SDCOG will use.
The Jewish Calendar dates for the Jewish Passover and Sukkot are
posted in the calendar. If your dates are based on the Jewish calendar
you should be able to take it from there.
United COG usually publishes a list of dates. You might do a keyword
search and see what they have to offer. The site Judaism 101 usually
posts a calendar.

Dear Pat,
Although our modern language use includes the word equinox and that particular term is not used in scripture, it is described and it is in reference to the Appointed times that God created. 
 
Remember this, we know that the earth rotates around the sun but for  thousands of years during which people had no knowledge that the earth rotated around the sun, when they used the term a revolution, (a year), etymologically meaning a turning, the turning they were referring to was the shadow on the ground from a sundial when the shadow turns at the time of the equinox.
 
The equinox in the seventh month, (exactly six months after the Spring equinox) was the end of the year as far as Holy Days go and was eventually just referred to as the year's end.   
 
Note in NKJV
 
In Ex. 34:22 “And you shall observe the Feast of Weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the year’s end.
 
God set the sun and the moon as the authority over what we call the Holy Days.  He said they are to rule.  That is His decision, His right and His teaching in His Holy word.
 
The teaching about Abib and the barley was for a particular time and place to bring the Israelites to an understanding about firstfruits and it was not about time keeping.  God is very clear about the authority He set for time keeping in Genesis.
