What Is the New Moon?

A new moon indicates a beginning of a month The bible reveals that God commanded Israel to honor and observe each New Moon by blowing a trumpet over their offerings as a memorial to Him (Numbers 10: 10 & Numbers 28: 11-14) The New Moon was also re-established by the leaders of Israel when the temple was rebuilt after their return from captivity of Babylon (Ezra 3: 5, Nehemiah 10: 33 & Colossians 2: 14-16)

Why We Observe the New Moon Today?

Isaiah 66: 22-23 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.

And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.

Why We Observe the New Moon Today?

Take note of the words “new heavens” & “new earth” This scripture indicates that God’s people will continue to observe the New Moon even in the “New Kingdom” If God commands that we will honor the New Moon when we are in the New Kingdom it is evident to us that we should keep the New Moon while on this earth It should be noted that there is no record of the new moon as being a Holy Day except the New Moon of the 7th month, which is the Feast of Trumpets ©2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ.
