March 20,  is a date that most of us recognize as symbolic of changing seasons.    As we welcome spring, people south of the equator are actually gearing up for the cooler temperatures of autumn. What Happens at the Equinox?
Far from being an arbitrary indicator of the changing seasons, March 21 (March 20 in some years and March 19th in some years) is significant for astronomical reasons.  The Gregorian calendar marks Mar 20 approx as the first day of Spring.  On Mar 21, 2021, the Sun will cross directly over the Earth's equator. This moment is known as the vernal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. For the Southern Hemisphere, this is the moment of the autumnal equinox.
 
Equinox Means "Equal Night"   Translated literally, equinox means "equal night." Because the sun is positioned above the equator, day and night are about equal in length all over the world during the equinoxes. A second equinox occurs each year on Approximately September 21;     This date will mark the autumnal (autumn) equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the vernal equinox in the Southern (vernal denotes "spring").   Fall Holy Days are calculated from the New Moons, not necessarily the Equinox's, but the Equinoxes tell the time of the year.  God's Holy days are counted from new moons, not equinoxes.

In order to have the Passover and Equinox in the first month, and the spring green starting in March,  I have picked New Moon on  Phase of the Moon on Mar 13, 2021: New Moon at 3:21a.m. (local daylight time) This day probably reflects the day of the rebirth of the Moon.  The true invisible conjunction. (The invisible conjunction is the absolute darkest part of the new moon) This makes Mar 13th the first day of the First Month as it is early in the morning.   This is before the equinox as the biblical spring of the year.  Since that is the mathematical calculation of the Spring  new moon.   That is also the Scientific calculation of the new moon by the US Naval Observatory.  I do not use the Jewish traditional reasoning as my standard.  (It is so flawed)  I looked at all the discussion regarding having the 1st day of the year before or after the Equinox each time, and with all the angles of suggested and quoted scriptures and finally think that the 1st day can sometimes possibly be before the equinox, but very close, so Passover can be in the first month.   This year it is closer to the march 20th date than the April 12th date. so not very easy to confirm.  The 1st new moon is before the spring equinox in 2021.

Below you can find dates and hours of all Moon Phases in 2021 Year. All dates and times are given both in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and America/Denver Time Zone time. Times are shown in Daylight Savings Time when necessary and in Standard Time in the other cases.  But we went to latitude and longitude of Wheatland, WY for our exact calculation.  Because I use Wheatland time and visibility to calculate the Sabbath, I also use this time and area to calculate the Holy Days.

Biblical Holy Day Calendar for 2021 (Based on the Moon)  
The Phase of the Moon on Phase of the Moon on Mar 13 at 3:21 a.m. (local daylight time)  The first new moon is before the Equinox in 2021

The following information is provided for Wheatland, Platte County, Wyoming (Actually Cheyenne WY this year 2021) (longitude W105.0, latitude N42.1):                    

    Phase of the Moon on Phase of the Moon on Mar 13 at 3:21 a.m.2021 This day probably reflects the day of the rebirth of the Moon.  The true invisible conjunction. This makes Phase of the Moon on Phase of the Moon on Mar 13 at 3:21 a.m.2021 It is early in the morning Mar 13, 3 hours before daylight.  So we will probably use the Mar 13th, 2021 to count the New Moon.  From the previous sundown, it will be about 8 hours from the last sundown.  New Moon is early on the first part of the day.
 

Passover Mar.26th 2021   (Starts evening before On March 25th, 2021 (Thursday night)
Counting to Abib 14.  Abib 14 starts when the sun goes down.

    The commanded Passover Meal is after sundown (Thurs night) on the beginning of Abib 14. March 25th, 2021 (Thursday night) Passover Day on the Passover Mar.26th 2021
    The commanded service of taking the bread, wine and foot washing comes after the main (regular) meal.  This is
    Christ's Passover meal also.  We will also observe that Special Night to be Much Observed (Exo. 12.42), not
   Abib 15 as the Jewish traditional doctrine believes.  (see Passover is the Feast)  He had to be off the cross before the Jewish Passover, remember.

The First Day of Unleavened Bread /Better known as the First day of the Passover starts late afternoon on Mar 25th, 2021(Thurs. night) at the going down of the sun.  Making that the Passover day and 1st Day of UB/1st Day of the Passover...is  Mar 25th, that evening before would be Christ's Passover Ceremony.   This then matches the OT with the NT.
       The First Holy Day will  continue all through the 1st day. (Which is the 14th day of Abib).  The Unleavened Bread will last for only 7 days which is called the Feast of the Passover.   (See this explanation) Not 8 days as one scripture indicates, which is conflict with all of the rest.

         The Seventh day of the Feast of the Passover (Unleavened Bread) is on April 7th, (Wednesday 2021) Last day of UB

April 7th, (Wednesday 2021)   would be the
        last day of The Passover week or the 21st day of the 1st Abib month.

            This last (7th) day coincides with Abib 20. and ends the 7-- 24 hr periods at about 7:00 in the
            evening of Apr 24th . (Or as is stated "until" (the start) of the 21st day of Abib..."April 24th") (Not inclusive of the 21st day of Abib which would make the Days of UB 8 days.)
 

     Mar 28th is the Feast of First of the First Fruits   (Sunday) or:
       
 Waive Sheaf Day (Sunday) Mar 28th 2021  (Lev 23:9-14  
          Go to the weekly Sabbath during the week of UB.  
          Then morning after the Sabbath.  It is Waive Sheaf  Sunday.
 In 2021 this day is during the week of UB.

  Coincidentally this coincides with Easter, but not every year.   But in 2020 it does.   ("...on the day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.)       Is that in the Bible?  Is it a Holy Day?   Is it to be kept forever?

The Jews do not want to interrupt the day of preparation so they postpone the Holy Days to fit their man made schedule, so that no one has a hardship on a preparation day.  We do not accept this circular reasoning.  So no matter when the new moon comes or the count comes out, they stay away from Fridays for holy days.  also the chart shows the other days of the week they stay away from, with the x in the box.

 

   Feast of Weeks    May 17th The Jewish calendar uses Sunday as their count.   (Monday)   (Pentecost) Article 1Article 2,  An old Pastor Understood this.    
     Article 3   
Lev 23:15  'And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed.  Lev 23:15  'And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, (In other words, the day after the Sabbath is Sunday) from (Sunday) the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: (the day after Sunday is day one) seven Sabbaths shall be completed.
 What is the day after the Wave sheaf Sunday?  Simply that is Monday and Monday is Day (1) one in our count to 50.  Pentecost means count 50, not 49.
 

            Feast of Trumpets      Closest Primary Moon Phase: New Moon on September 6, 2021 7.51 p.m. (local daylight time).   So the Feast of Trumpets would be on September 7, 2021 because it is about 1 hours after sundown on the 6th.  Sept 6, 2021  (7:51 p.m.) Just about sundown on the 6th.  So the Truest New Moon day is  Sept, 7, 2021. but it is then 1.8% visable on the evening of the 8th.    So to make the FOT First Day, come out on a full moon looking at the month/moon both ways, I conclude that Sept 7th would make the month come out more accurate. I've weighed the lengths of the month before and after the fall 7th month new moon, and conclude it can not be advanced to the 8th. 

Now I don't live in Jerusalem, so I will just have to use Wyoming Time to Calculate a New Moon here. So I concede to Sept 7, 2021 as the magical memorial day of blowing of Trumpets.

 

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.  Lev 23:24

  
           
When you go back to the new moon on this month and the next month, and take the half way point to make the full moon. It is  easy to see why they have not advanced the FOT one part day.  The rabbinical calculation is only screwed up part of the time and is not consistant..  only advances one extra day it so they can postpone it so nothing lands on a Friday or Sunday.    So advancing it a complete additional day to fit the full moon better is some peoples thinking, but I'm not at all sure they have it right. It is right this year because its not on a Friday or Sunday.  Ha Ha  (Poor reasoning)    I'm trying to stay away from rabbinical calculation as it usually so biased for tradition and not from God.

           
           Day of Atonement = Sept 16, 2021 (Lev. 23:27) Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement:  Oct 8th is the 10th day after the new moon in the 7th Month.  Probably not good Jewish reasoning, but Great Biblical reasoning.  I have noticed that sometimes these days don't match "The Inspired Pocket Calendar".  (Pun Intended).

 

            Feast of Tabernacles (7 day Feast of TabernaclesSept 21-27th  Lev 23:34 The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD.

            Phase of the Moon on Closest Primary Moon Phase: Full Moon on October 13 later in the day (local daylight time) Mountain Daylight Time  
         
             First Day of the Feast of Tabernacles is on  Sept 21-27   the Full moon and the 1st day of FOT is about the same exact time.   But the Feast of Tabernacles is on the 15th day of the 7th month.   The 1st day of the Feast of Tabernacles  would start On   Sept 21, 2021   (The 15th day of the 7th Month)  (But the count starts on the New Moon and is not proved by the Full moon.)

So we are kind of backing up here if we were to use the full moon as an indicator.  We don't, we start the count from the New Moon.

Many of the COG churches and Jewish reckoning use the October 14th as the first day of  the FOT.  That neither fits the plan for an invisible conjunction new moon but kind of of look-see at the correct full moon for those that like to see full moons for the FOT.  They will have only  possibly missed it by maybe 1 day. Because in 2019 that would be a better full moon.  That is if you use the full moon as the sign of the count, the natural observation, but not necessarily the biblical observation of the New moon.  14 1/2 days after the New moon rotation.  NOT an exact 15 days.

            Last Great Day  =  Sept 28, 2021

This is all calculated in MST and not Jerusalem Time.  As we do not observe the Sabbath based on Jerusalem time but on MST or sundown to sundown in the area of which we live.

The Holy Day arrangement for the year is determined by rules (traditions of men) that aim to prevent Yom Kippur (Atonement) from occurring either before or after the Sabbath. Thus making the "Day of Preparation" (Fri.) or the Preparation for the weekly Sabbath, more important than the High Day.
