🔥 SHLISHI 29, 6027 AA 🔥 CALENDAR DECEPTION: WHO CHANGED THE APPOINTED TIMES?
“Restoring the True Head of the Month”
Shalom, set-apart remnant. If the enemy can alter time — he can alter worship. And that is exactly what happened. The true calendar given by YHVH has been hijacked, distorted, and buried under centuries of religious systems and Babylonian influence. But in these last days, YHVH is restoring the rhythm of His Kingdom — and it begins with the new moon.
Dani’el 7:25 warns us of the beast power: “He intends to change appointed times and law.” ➡️ When we follow a false calendar, we are meeting on days YHVH never sanctified — and missing the days He actually set apart.
📜 MESSAGE
The modern Jewish calendar used today — known as the Hillel calendar — was introduced by rabbinical authorities in the 4th century CE. It uses mathematical calculations and postponements to fix the months and years in advance. But in Scripture, YHVH clearly instructed the start of months to be determined by sighting the new moon — not by calculation, nor by tradition.
Shemot 12:2 says, “This month is the beginning of months for you...” — marking the first visible crescent of the new moon as the true Rosh Chodesh. The calendar begins with the witnessed renewal of the moon. No postponements. No traditions. Just testimony.
But that testimony was suppressed. Rome changed the weekly cycle and blended pagan festivals. Rabbinic authorities added rules and delays. And today, the world follows man-made calendars — Gregorian and Hillel alike — instead of YHVH’s. The result? We gather on false Sabbaths, celebrate feast days on the wrong dates, and call months “Biblical” that are actually not aligned to the heavens.
Yet, in the last days, YHVH is reviving His remnant — and one key area of restoration is the calendar. The true times are being revealed again. And those who hunger for righteousness are being drawn back to sighting the new moon, aligning with the barley-based Aviv calendar, and rejecting the Babylonian systems that have crept into our worship.
This is more than a debate — it is about obedience. Will we follow the witness of creation, or the traditions of men? Will we appear before YHVH on His true appointments — or man’s counterfeits? The choice is ours. But the restoration has begun.
🕰️ FROM TORAH TO TRADITION: TIMELINE OF CALENDAR CORRUPTION
- Torah Calendar (c. 1500 BCE): Instituted by YHVH — months begin with visible new moon sightings (Rosh Chodesh), years begin with Aviv barley. All feasts are based on actual observed signs (Genesis 1:14, Exodus 12:2).
- Babylonian Influence (c. 500 BCE): During exile, Judah adopts Babylonian month names and begins incorporating fixed patterns. Post-exile, some traditions carry over despite Torah clarity.
- Roman Disruption (1st century CE): After Messiah, the Roman Empire enforces sun-based Julian calendar. Early believers resisting Romanization are persecuted; Sabbath and feast days are suppressed or outlawed.
- Rabbinic Fixing (358 CE): Rabbi Hillel II introduces the calculated Jewish calendar. Postponements are added, and visual new moon sightings are replaced by math-based predictions to ensure diaspora unity — but without Torah command.
- Gregorian Calendar (1582 CE): Pope Gregory XIII reforms the Julian calendar. This becomes the international standard, fully solar and disconnected from Biblical appointed times. Christianity adopts this system and severs its Hebraic roots.
- Hijri Calendar (638 CE): Umar, the successor of Mohammad, the prophet of Islam, partially restored a moon sighting calendar among the Muslims. Despite correcting the moon sighting for start of every month, he did not align the start of the new year with the time of the lambs and the barley harvest in the northern hemisphere resulting in a cycling calendar that only aligns roughly every 33 years with the Torah-based calendar.
- Today: Most of the world follows the Gregorian calendar. Judaism follows Hillel’s fixed calendar. Muslims follow the Hijri calendar. Only a few Torah-observant believers have returned to sighted new moon months and Aviv barley years AND the original festivals of the Torah — as originally commanded by YHVH.

🤲 PRAYER
Abba YHVH, we repent for following the calendars of men. Restore to us the rhythm of Your ways. Teach us to number our days in alignment with Your lights — and to appear before You at the times You truly appointed. Let us not be swept into the confusion of Babylon, but walk in the clarity of Your Word. With courage to face the world. Baruch YHVH! 🤲🏻

📣 REMINDER
The enemy wants your worship — and if he can change your time, he can steal your appointments. Let the remnant rise in discernment. Align with the sky, not the synagogue. Watch the heavens. Count with the moon. Appear before YHVH on His terms, not man’s. The deception ends when obedience begins.
