If that‘s your creed, then you might have a small technical problem that is called INTERNATIONAL DATE LINE!
This infamous line established in 1884 is a man-made invention on your map that you can find in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
The main purpose of this line is to set the boundary between two calendar days
So, if you cross this line westward you would need to add 1 day to your Gregorian calendar, however crossing the line eastward would make you 1 day younger… in theory of course!
But as you may know, not many things on this crooked world are straight – not even this line. So, to make things nore complicated our world leaders fiddled with this line for about 150 years. Now, it looks like this
You may have two neighbouring islands at the same latitude with with the same time but completely different calendar days. Or in other words: one islander having a sabbath while the other had it yesterday!
Imagine this line going through the Israeli camp on a desert. One side would still have the preparation day while the others already had a sabbath. Total unbiblical nonsense!
But this anomaly exist when you‘re using a man-made calendar o observe G-ds holy days!
This is the „Gregorian illusion“ of calculating the time solely on the Sun!
Let me explain it in details!
If someone decide to travel eastwards around the globe his whole life without stopping and asking for a local time then his calendar would „gain“ a one full year!
So let put this knowledge to the test and see if its compatible with the Word of G-d.
Take for example Noah, his sons and the Ark that rested on the mountains of Ararat after the Flood.
As we know from the book of Genesis, chapter 9, G-d commanded three sons of Noah to multiply and replenish the Earth. So they did as G-d commanded them and began to travel and discover new lands.
Let us assume that at some point of their lives, they would travel so far that eventually they would meet on the other side of the globe where our current INTERNATIONAL DATE LINE is!
Even though the local time would be the same, the calendar days would be different. If they tracked the time like we do today, they would be exactly 24 hours apart. And if they wanted to celebrate sabbath together, it would not be possible!
So who‘s wrong and who‘s right?
Well, according to the Gregorian Calendar they are both correct!
But unfortunately, sabbath was never based on the man-made Gregorian calendar as pope Gregory XIII introduced his calendar in 1582 and before that we had Julian calendar that was even more inaccurate and unbiblical!
Nevertheless, many Christians still believe that Saturday or Sunday is the true sabbath even though this calendar that we follow today didn‘t even exist in the time of Moses!
So, do you believe in this because it‘s the truth? Or is it truth because you believe in this?
Not our faith but G-d as the supreme authority validates the truth!
Fortunately for us G-d is an arbiter of time.
And to show you another absurdity of this Gregorian calendar let‘s assume that the sons of Noah were so „ambitious“ that they decided to travel furthermore to meet again where the Ark is located.
Now they would be 48 hours apart even though they are both at the same place! So in this situation you may have three people standing next to the Ark and arguing about the day of the week!
According to their Gregorian calendar and calculations they would all be correct!
How crazy is that?
If you think this weird situation is not possible then pay attention now.
Thanks to the IDL we can now have three different calendar days at the same time accross the globe!
When it is 6:30 AM in New York on Saturday, it‘s 11:30 PM in American Samoa on Friday, whilst it‘s 00:30 AM in Kiribati on Sunday!
Looks like time travelling really exist!
Things would be even more bizarre if our forefathers decided to travel around the globe through Antarctica! In this extreme example celebrating sabbath would be very difficult if they decided to follow solar calendar, as „one day““ or „one night“ in Antarctica may have… six months. Without modern time measuring instruments they would lose track of time in a matter of days.
Our International Date Line was modified multiple times. These changes were made because of political and economic reaasons. Whoever moved this line to the east or west didn‘t care completely about your sabbath.
Here I will only elaborate on two interesting examples that you can see below highlighted in red
1. Philippines (1521 and 1844)
2. Alaska (1867)
3. Samoan Islands and Tokelau (1892 and 2011)
4. Kwajalein (c. 1945 and 1993)
5. Eastern Kiribati (1994)
6. Tahiti & French Polynesia (early 1797 and late 1846)
