Explore the ancient Sabbath Calendar system preserved by the Zadokite priests

We aspire that The Sabbath Calendar Journal will become a wellspring of dependable knowledge, bringing clarity to you and others as we navigate together, finding "where is the good way, and walk therein," (Jer 6:16) returning to the garden with peace and unity in the Holy Spirit!

The Calendar Event

hosted by Luke Abaffy of The Life Podcast

Sunday, January 19 @ 6 pm EST

We were invited by Luke Abaffy to join him with 3 other distinguished teachers for a friendly discussion about the most popular calendar systems being used today by Messianic Believers:

• Bill Bishop, Returning to the Garden - Zadok priestly calendar

• Steve Moutria, Torah Family - New Moon Conjunction method

• Arthur Bailey, Arthur Bailey Ministries - New Moon Sighting method

• Joseph Good, Hatikva Ministries - Hillel II calendar

What a refreshing experience it was to sit with these other men of Yah and to be engaged in a mutually educational, respectful dialogue. We spent an evening and a day together, beginning as strangers and departing as brothers - with each of us knowing in a greater way that despite our calendar differences, we have a lot more in common to bring us together because of our love for the Messiah and His Love for us!

Be sure to see it on Luke's Youtube channel - @TheLife_Podcast.
