Rosh Chodesh / New Moon
Posted by Lev/Christopher on July 14, 2008 at 6:02am
in Festivals of Messianic Israel
Given by Yahweh as one of the luminaries 'for signs and for seasons' (Gen.1:14), the moon was to be used to calculate the calendar, and the day of the monthly new moon set-apart for consulting the prophets and establishing Yahweh's will (2 Ki.4:23). It is not a Sabbath day. It was announced by the blowing of the shofar and animal sacrifices. Rosh Chodesh commences at the New Moon when the moon is completely invisible.
Like the annual festivals, Rosh Chodesh is a shadow or type of the Messiah. Paul warns that we are not saved by legalistically observing it or the other moedim (2 Col.2:16ff.). Like the sun, the moon is a symbol of permanence (Ps.72:5) and is used to mark the coming of the Messiah (Mk.13;24; Lk.21:25). In the New Covenant, because of the unfulfilled autumnal (fall) festivals, it is still used to mark the second coming of Yah'shua. The New Moon is used to consult the prophets probably because in an invisible state it does not affect the mind or interfere with the revelatory process on a psychic level (Ps.121:6; cp. Mt.4:24; 17:15)
