Chapter 14
These are Tae’s revelations of Jehovih’s times and seasons, appointed to the chosen:
The northern line of the sun shall be the end of the year, and shall be called the last day of the old year, says Jehovih.
And the first day after that, when the sun starts on his southern course, shall be the beginning of the year, and it shall be called the new year’s day.
These are My times of the end and the beginning of a year, which I created; and I made the earth and the sun as My written testimony of them.
And I blessed and sanctified the old year’s day and the new year’s day, and I appointed them to be holy days, so that men might remember the order and the system of My works.
And I said to man: From one new year’s day until the succeeding one shall be called one year, for it is one completed oscillation of the earth, and of her revolution in the orbit where I placed her.
Therefore, what you have completed within a year shall be remembered by you, so that you may judge yourself in those matters.
And on the old year’s day, you shall render up full forgiveness in all things against all people.
And with the setting of the sun on that day, you shall be purged of all animosity and claims against every man, woman and child, in the entire world.
And you shall acknowledge this in words, songs, prayers, and in tokens of no intrinsic value, to whomever you had offended during the past year.
Tae said: For which reason, the old year’s day shall be named the Most Holy Sabbath Day. Behold, it is in accord with His heavenly kingdoms. And it shall be with you a day of spiritual communion, and of praise to Jehovih and His creations; with music, oratory, and ceremonies, and processions for your youth, orderly and well disciplined.
And on the new year’s day, you shall rejoice and sing and dance; mingling together, old and young, even as the old year and the new year are joined together, side by side.
The seventh day of the new year shall be your next sabbath day, and it shall be a day of rest and of spiritual communion, and praise to Jehovih and His creations, with singing and oratory.
So also shall every seventh day be a sabbath day; for which reason seven days shall be one week, being six days for labor, and one for rest and worship.
For this has been proven throughout the world, to be good for man.
These, then, shall be the moon’s days (months):
The first new moon’s day after new year’s day shall be the beginning of the first month; and the completion of the fourth quarter of the moon shall be the completion of the first month, and it shall be named, First month.
The next four quarters of the moon shall be the second month, and it shall be named, Second month.
And the next completed four quarters of the moon shall be named, Third month. And so on, to the completion of the year.
Such, then, shall be the months in any and every year, for these are the moon’s times as Jehovih created them.
Neither shall it matter whether or not the months overlap a new year’s day; as they are created and moved by the Almighty, even so shall man compute and register them.
For example, a new year’s day may come upon the twentieth day of the Twelfth moon or on another moon’s day; still, as they fall, so shall they be numbered in truth. ||
As the moon’s time differs to different continents, so shall the months’ times of the inhabitants of different continents be locally to them.
But, in the intercourse between different nations on different continents, the month times shall not be enumerated.
But in all such cases, the year and the days of the year shall be named.
As, for example, the seventieth year and the ninety-sixth day. ||
And it shall come to pass that the sabbath days all around the world shall be the same day to all people, even with the travel of the sun.
By which, Jehovih’s heavenly kingdoms shall be in concert with mortals, as to times and seasons in all things.
