There
is yet another dogmatic idea that the day begins and ends at mid-day, noon. To
properly line up with Scripture, this is impossible. How so? Frankly, there
really is no need to even discuss how midday is not WHEN a day REALLY begins. However, there are those who insist
this is an accurate interpretation of Scripture. First of all, the Julian
calendar assigned the day to begin at noon. Before then, it was unheard of.
Please see the
following definitions from the Strong's Hebrew Dictionary of Bible Words:
NOON: H6672. צהר. tsôhar, (tso'-har) From
H6671; a light (that is, window); dual double light, that is, noon: - midday,
noon (-day, -tide), window.
EVENING: H6153. ערב. ‛ereb. (eh'-reb) From
H6150; dusk: - + day, even (-ing,
tide), night.
H6150. ערב. ‛ârab. (aw-rab') to grow dusky at sundown: - be darkened,
(toward) evening.
MIDDAY: H4276. מחצית machătsı̂yth, (makh-ats-eeth') From H2673; a halving or the middle: -
half (so much), mid [-day].
Those who have
this belief of the day beginning at noon are just as misled as those who have
the belief that a day begins at sunrise. They also want to use statements
saying that darkness represents evil. Saying, "Why
would a day begin at darkness?" Reading through Scriptures will
clearly reveal as we have already shown], the day begins at sundown. Out of the
ENTIRE Scriptures, those who believe in a midday cycle only want to use these
couple of verses to prove their point.
"It
is a Sabbath of rest to you, and you shall afflict your beings. On the ninth day
of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you
observe your Sabbath." -Wayyiqra (Leviticus) 23:32 (ISR)
"the Passover in the evening, at the going down of the sun,
at the appointed time you came out of Mitsrayim." -Debarim (Deuteronomy) 16:6 (ISR)
Yes, beloved
ones, that is all. These are the only two verses used. However, they use the
Kings James Version. The main difference is the word 'evening'. In the King
James Version, it is written as 'even'. As you can see above in the definition
of EVENING. Clearly, this word is not suggesting the time of noon being WHEN
a day REALLY begins. Look at how other Bible versions interpret
Deuteronomy 16:6.
"Kill
the sacrifice at sunset, the time of day when YOU LEFT EGYPT." (Contemporary English
Version)
"Do
this in the evening as the sun goes down. This is the same time you
did it when YOU LEFT EGYPT."
(G-d's Word)
We have some keywords here that will reveal to us WHEN 'evening' really
was in Deuteronomy 16:6. Reading this verse shows us that the sacrifice was to
be performed at 'even', 'sunset', 'as the sun goes down'.
The second half of verse six also gives us a clue. This clue reveals to us
where we need to look next. Knowing exactly WHEN the children of Yisra'el left Egypt
will give us our answer to WHEN this time of the day REALLY is.
"Guard
the month of Abib, and perform the Passover to YAHUWAH your Elohim, for in the
month of Abib YAHUWAH your Elohim brought you out of Egypt (Mitsrayim) BY NIGHT." -Debarim|Deuteronomy 16:1
"And
they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they had brought out of
Mitsrayim, for it was not leavened, since they were driven out of Mitsrayim,
and had not been able to delay, nor had they prepared food for themselves. And
the sojourn of the children of Yisra'ĕl who
lived in Mitsrayim was four hundred and thirty years. And it came to be at the
end of the four hundred and thirty years, on that same day it came to be that
all the divisions of YAHUWAH went out from the land of Egypt Mitsrayim. It is a night to be observed unto YAHUWAH for bringing
them out of the land of Mitsrayim. THIS
NIGHT IS UNTO YAHUWAH, to be
observed by all the children of Yisra'ĕl
throughout their generations. And YAHUWAH said to Mosheh and Aharon, This is
the law of the Passover: No son of a stranger is to eat of it, but any servant
a man has bought for silver, when you have circumcised him, then let him eat of
it. A sojourner and a hired servant does not eat of it. It is eaten in one
house, you are not to take any of the flesh outside the house, nor are you to
break any bone of it. All the congregation of Yisra'ĕl are
to perform it. And when a stranger sojourns with you and shall perform the
Passover to YAHUWAH , let all his males be circumcised, and
then let him come near and perform it, and he shall be as a native of the land.
But let
no uncircumcised eat of it. There is one Torah for the native-born and for the
stranger who sojourns among you. And all the children of Yisra'ĕl did
as יהוה commanded Mosheh and Aharon, so they did. And it came to be on that same DAY that YAHUWAH brought the children
of Yisra'ĕl out of the land of Mitsrayim according to their divisions." -Shemoth (Exodus) 12:39-51
How exciting
that must have been. We have discovered WHEN Yahuwah brought the children of
Yisra'el out of Egypt (Mitsrayim). We also see, highlighted in blue that NIGHT
is considered to be DAY here also. This is just another witness that Night AND
Day make up a full 24 hour day cycle.
In review, we
have seen WHEN the children of Yisrael were to do the Passover sacrifice, which
is also the same time WHEN Yahuwah brought them out of Egypt (Mitsrayim). This
Passover night was also considered as part of the day. We have also researched
what 'evening' means. Just because the sun begins to go down at noon does in no
way mean that is when a day ends and begins. We do not need to further discuss
this because clearly, from reading our Scripture, Historical and Documented
Proof of WHEN a day REALLY begins there is no doubt of its beginning and end. A
day begins and ends at Sunset.
Make
note the order of the day in Tehillim (Psalms) 55:16-17
"I, I call upon Elohim, And YAHUWAH saves me.
Evening and morning and at noon I complain and moan, And He hears my voice."
