Three Months in a Row
Prove all things; hold fast that which is good
Nader Mansour
Introduction
Living in the last days is a time of both
privilege as well as responsibility. This
writing is undertaken in obedience to the word
of the Lord. We have a responsibility to be
ready always to give an answer to every man that
asks us a
reason of the hope that is in us. Our answer
must be given with meekness and fear, and above
all, with a heart in which the Lord is
sanctified. Not only are we to give an answer
but we are further admonished by God to
earnestly contend for the faith which was once
delivered unto the saints. It is both our
privilege and responsibility to do that
faithfully.
The
question of how we go about this work is of
vital importance. While discharging our duty we
are to hold fast the faithful word as we have
been taught, for it is only by sound doctrine
that we can exhort and to convince the
gainsayers.
The
apostle instructs us to preach the word; be
instant in season, out of season; reprove,
rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and
doctrine. It is with these thoughts in mind that
I wish to examine the Lunar Sabbaths theory that
seems to be gaining ground among God's people. I
have personally studied the matter with a
willingness to adopt it if it proves true or
reject it if it proves false. As there are a
number of dear friends and acquaintances who
have adopted this idea I felt it would only be
right to give the theory a fair hearing. Having
done so I would like to share my findings as a
testimony to others in the hope that it might
help some soul along the way. If only one soul
can be lead to the truth of the matter as a
result of this study then it will have
accomplished its purpose.
May
God bless you as you study these things for
yourself.

“When the
religion of Christ is most held in
contempt, when His law is
most despised, then should our zeal
be the warmest and our courage and
firmness the most unflinching. To
stand in defense of truth and
righteousness when the majority
forsake us, to fight the battles of
the Lord
when champions are few--this will be
our test. At this time we must
gather
warmth from the coldness of others,
courage from their cowardice, and
loyalty from their treason.” {Ellen
White, 5T 136} |

One of the main pillars in
support of the lunar Sabbaths theory is an
article entitled “Three Months in a Row”. The
reason I have come to this conclusion is that
many lunar Sabbath enthusiasts have urged me to
study this article as one of the best and most
convincing presentations of that theory (among
Adventists, at least). The article itself claims
that it “may
be the most profound study you will read that
provides undeniable scriptural proof for
Yahweh’s true calendar and Sabbath as regulated
by the phases of the moon.”1
For this reason, I have studied the article and
tested it against inspiration desiring to prove
all things and see if these things are so. My
findings are shared below. The article in
question can be located at this link
(http://www.thecreatorscalendar.com/pdfs/ThreeMonthsInARow_Exodus-Manna-Mountain.pdf)
We shall be quoting from the article and
appending comments to each relevant section. We
will abbreviate the “Three Months in a Row”
article title as TMR article throughout
the remainder of this examination.
Quote
from the introduction of the article,
pp.1, 2. The full quote reads thus “Next
to the “Twelve Criteria of the
Cross”, this study may be the
most profound study you will read that
provides undeniable scriptural proof
for Yahweh’s true calendar and
Sabbath as regulated by the phases of
the moon.” We will address the other
study at another time. This claim
highlights the importance attached to
the study we are addressing here.
