Hi Rakhel,
Blessings to you through Messiah Yahushua, My YAHWEH and My ELOHIM!
Shabbat Shalom!
It is in my heart to give you a gift, but remember, beware of agnostics bearing gifts.
YAHWEH gave the Law Covenant/Marriage Covenant to the Children of Israel about 1400 years before the advent of My Messiah Yahushua. Should we assign 100 years to a lunar day, then, at the time that My Messiah came to Israel, Israel (the House of Judah) was a full moon.
Who can see a NEW MOON during a full moon? When the sun does set, the full moon arises. It is evident that at the time of a full moon, no one looks for a new moon.
Thus, only a very few did recognized My Messiah as a NEW MOON!
Who gives the greatest light to the darkness, the full moon or a new moon? My Messiah came to Israel, the full moon, as a new moon, and only a few could see HIS light because of the brightness of the full moon of Judaism.
Ruling over the darkness does not mean that the moon is in charge. It simply means that the moon gives light to the world.
Look what happens after the destruction of the 2nd Temple. Gradually, the light of the moon begins to wane until Israel does not give its light to this dark world. This occurred when the Rabbis ordained that it was ok for Jews to hide their Judaism and if necessary, proclaim that Jews were converts of Christianity. This ruling brings into effect the dark of the moon when no light is given to this dark world by Jews.
Please, take a chance and follow with me the 100 year for a day scenario. When in Europe, did the dark ages end? About what time, after My Messiah, do you think?
Thanking you in advance should you be moved to reply, I am,
Sincerely, Latuwr
