World's Last Chance

At the heart of WLC is the true God and his Son, the true Christ — for we believe eternal life is not just our goal, but our everything.

While WLC continues to uphold the observance of the Seventh-Day Sabbath, which is at the heart of Yahuwah's moral law, the 10 Commandments, we no longer believe that the annual feast days are binding upon believers today. Still, though, we humbly encourage all to set time aside to commemorate the yearly feasts with solemnity and joy, and to learn from Yahuwah's instructions concerning their observance under the Old Covenant. Doing so will surely be a blessing to you and your home, as you study the wonderful types and shadows that point to the exaltation of Messiah Yahushua as the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the conquering lion of the tribe of Judah, and the Lamb of Yahuwah that takes away the sins of the world.

The KJV is actually biased towards the Luni-solar calendar, since it follows traditional Jewish interpretation by translating chodesh as new moon. The word really just means the first of the month.

Objection: The KJV is actually biased towards the Luni-solar calendar, since it follows traditional Jewish interpretation by translating chodesh as new moon. The word really just means the first of the month.

Rebuttal: Absolutely!  Chodesh does indeed refer to the first of the month.  But the reason why the word “month” is linked to the word for “new moon” is because the month started with the new moon.  The New Strong’s Expanded Dictionary of Bible Words states:

Chodesh means “new moon; month.” . . . Chodesh can refer to a “month,” or the period from one new moon to another.  The sense of a measure of time during which something happens . . . In a related nuance the word refers not so much to a measure of time as to a period of time, or a calendar month.  (Chodesh, #2320.)

The very word “month” comes from the word “moon.”  The America Indians referred to the passage of time as “many moons.”  Because each new month started with the new moon, the term came to be used for both.  Therefore, a translation of “new moon” is accurate and in keeping with the original intent of the Hebrew.
