by Craig Peters
BIBLIOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
ABSTRACT: This article presents lengthy and comprehensive scriptural evidence that Yah's definition of a day runs from sunrise to sunrise of the following day, NOT from sunset to sunset as Jewish tradition holds and as most who have been seeking to observe the true Sabbath and other feasts have been practising.
The article cites numerous Scriptures from numerous perspectives to convincingly prove the truth of the Day starting in the morning.
This is a further major challenge to tradition and ALSO an indication of how seriously we are in error in this age and don't know it, particularly in areas of critical truth, like Sabbath observance.
The article also evaluates certain aspects of the time of the execution of Yahshua relative to anomalies that arise from an understanding of Scripture based on a day beginning at evening.
This teaching is particularly important in terms of Sabbath observance.

PREAMBLE - DOCUMENT ACCURACY
This article was received in response to the article 1AD.02.01.26 "Re: REALLY IMPORTANT : Please give me a SIMPLE explanation" (18 January 2002) in which reference was made to observing the true Sabbath from sunset to sunset.
The writer has prayed over this document and Yah HAS confirmed that His days DO run from sunrise to sunrise - first day, THEN night!
The writer acknowledges that he was in error in referring to the true Sabbath as being from sunset to sunset, repents of that error and requests forgiveness.
The article which contained this error was sub-headed "Yahweh states that this is 100% as He would have it".
The person who forwarded the article that follows questioned how it was that the writer could indicate the article was 100% as Yah would have it and yet that the article could be in error.
As indicated in the article 1AD.02.01.25 "About ratings and about prophets" (15 January 2002) the following statement was made:
"Note that the rating of percentage "correct" in these articles is NOT the same as the rating that is used with regard to the writer's own articles on the formal lists where Yahweh rates an article with regard to the percentage of how He would have the article. This relates to a composite of overall content and precision within the context of what the writer knows and is able to hear AT THAT POINT IN TIME. In other words, as revelation continues it may turn out that new revelation will deepen or to a point show error in earlier articles that could not have been known to the author at that time."
This present teaching regarding the day running from sunrise to sunrise is a clear example of the above. The writer has consistently read that the correct Scriptural day ran from sunset to sunset and this is the only interpretation the writer had encountered in teachings from Jewish, Messianic and other sources. Accordingly it had never occurred to the writer that there WAS another interpretation.
This demonstrates a principle that has been made in a number of articles recently, particularly in the article 1A1.02.01.05 "Evaluation of Disparate Interpretations of Scripture - Critical Principles of Interpretation" (28 January 2002). If one does not know what one does not know it is very difficult for one to consider the possibility that one is in error.
In other words, if one totally believes a particular thing is so, such as that the Scriptural day runs from sunset to sunset, then it is extremely hard to hear Yah if He seeks to tell us something totally different. Generally He has to speak to us through a third party, as He did with the writer in this case.
This principle is vital in understanding the writer's comments above regarding the "as Yah would have it" rating.
Note also that subsequent to the posting of the article in which the above error was made Yah has introduced a second rating for "accuracy in terms of critical revelation" in addition to the rating for "as Yah would have it" based on the writers current level of revelation. This second rating has been presented in the last two formal articles posted:
1) Rating "as Yah would have it relative to my current level of knowledge and experience and therefore my ability to accurately present the information available to me."
2) Rating of accuracy "relative to the total critical revelation of this subject that is possible (this rating relates to overall content, NOT to fine typographic or grammatical detail)."
These two ratings together give a more comprehensive assessment of the article. It is the writers understanding that there is a THIRD rating that Yah wants to introduce but that the writer is not yet in a position to fully comprehend the significance of that rating.
PREAMBLE -- DAY RUNS FROM SUNRISE TO SUNRISE
On reading this article, particularly when Matthew 28:1 was encountered "In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre." (KJV) it was absolutely clear that this indicated that the sabbath ENDED at dawn.
The article presents numerous other verses which are equally convincing. Some of the initial discussion seems rather lengthy but the essence of the article is of vital importance.
The error of ASSUMPTION made by the writer and the way that one skips over obvious non-conformities when one does not expect error, as the writer has clearly been doing for many years, highlights another vital principle -- Satan has a vast array of deception designed to keep us in bondage. This statement relates to the exponential decay curve into knowledge of all error that has been reproduced in a number of articles in recent months. We have so much error we cannot conceive how many things we take for granted ARE error. Furthermore, by seeking to keep the Truth Saturday Sabbath but doing so from Friday evening to Saturday evening which, to the best of the writers knowledge, virtually ALL who are seeking to honour the true Sabbath are doing, one then unknowingly defiles the true Sabbath on Saturday night!
In this way, Satan traps us into believing that we ARE observing the Sabbath by moving from Sunday to Friday night to Saturday evening and yet for 50% of the time we are in error!
Satan ALSO uses this to increase the resistance of sincere believers to observing the true Sabbath. If someone advocates keeping the Sabbath but in the process refers to sunset Friday to sunset Saturday, Satan's demons can whisper "they are lying" and the demon is half telling the truth so it has a legal right to prevent the person from receiving that truth. This is one aspect of what Galatians 5:9 and 1 Corinthians 5:6 is referring to Galatians 5:9 "A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump." (KJV). Any error will contaminate all the truth that surrounds it.
This specific incident emphasizes the vital need that we CONSTANTLY turn to the Spirit of Yah to lead us and guide us into all truth and not to call any man teacher.
Please note that the charts referred to in the article were not received with the article.
This article offers a particular interpretation regarding the change from a 360 day year. Another interpretation encountered by the writer, which appears to be the correct interpretation is that when Joshua prayed for Yah to cause the sun and moon to stand still, Yah accomplished this by tilting the axis of the earth. The balance of the adjustment took place when Yah caused the sun to move backwards on the sundial of Ahaz for Hezekiah. I seem to recall that this information may be on a web site called the "Y Files".
Jonathan Gray has also presented what seems to be convincing evidence that the earth expanded in diameter after the flood of Noah at the time that Scripture says that the earth was divided.
The article also contains diverse information relating to the major Holy Days of Yah and relating to fasting, etc.
Readers with time constraints are encouraged to at least skim the article right through to the end.
