{New Moon}

It would seem appropriate that on the New Moon, we have a family meal or a meal with brethren if this is possible. Also, as stated in 2 Kings 4 Verses 22-23, it is also a time to consult a man of God. If we cannot meet together on this day, it is appropriate to spend the day with God in prayer and study. We need to spend as much time as possible in prayer and Bible study (lunch break, etc.) if the New Moon falls on a workday.

2Ki 4:22 Then she called to her husband, and said, “Please send me one of the young men and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and come back.”

2Ki 4:23 So he said, “Why are you going to him today? It is neither the New Moon nor the Sabbath.” And she said, “It is well.”

This Scripture indicates that it was David’s custom to have a meal with family and friends on the New Moon.

1Sa 20:24 Then David hid in the field. And when the New Moon had come, the king sat down to eat the feast.

1Sa 20:25 Now the king sat on his seat, as at other times, on a seat by the wall. And Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, but David’s place was empty.

{1}

Before the Passover, the Bible tells us that we should examine ourselves to be sure we are taking the Passover in the correct manner. We need to prepare to take the Passover well in advance, and this requires prayer, Bible study, and meditation.

1Co 11:26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.

1Co 11:27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

1Co 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

1Co 11:29 For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.

1Co 11:30 For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.

{2}

These are the three times that God says the men are to appear before Him with an offering.

Deu 16:16 “Three times a year all your males shall appear before the LORD your God in the place which He chooses: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Tabernacles; and they shall not appear before the LORD empty-handed.

Deu 16:17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD your God which He has given you.

{3}

Before the day of Pentecost, Jesus taught the disciples for forty days about the Kingdom of God. Therefore, a study on this subject would be profitable from the Waveshief for forty days.

Act 1:3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.

{4}

Ten days before Pentecost the disciples prayed. This would be a great way to ensure we have the correct heart and mind before the day of Pentecost.

Act 1:12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey.

Act 1:13 And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room where they were staying: Peter, James, John, and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot; and Judas the son of James.

Act 1:14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

{5}

In Nehemiah they read from the book of the law from early morning until around midday. We should start reading the book of Leviticus a few days before the Feast of Trumpets. It had to be the book of Leviticus that was read, as that is the only book where booths are mentioned.

Neh 8:1 Now all the people gathered together as one man in the open square that was in front of the Water Gate; and they told Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded Israel.

Neh 8:2 So Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly of men and women and all who could hear with understanding on the first day of the seventh month.

Neh 8:3 Then he read from it in the open square that was in front of the Water Gate from morning until midday, before the men and women and those who could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive to the Book of the Law.

Neh 8:13 Now on the second day the heads of the fathers’ houses of all the people, with the priests and Levites, were gathered to Ezra the scribe, in order to understand the words of the Law.

Neh 8:14 And they found written in the Law, which the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths during the feast of the seventh month,

{6}

Starting after sunset, the beginning of the day of Atonement, it is profitable to read Jeremiah chapters 1 – 36, as this is talking about a future fast.
