Lunar Sabbath
a time tested tradition

    Moving Celestial Dateline

    High Level 4

    Fact

    The dateline moves monthly based on first observation of the new month sign

    Evidence

    • Fixed dateline requires knowing your exact longitude - impossible before ~1700s

    • Even today, dateline is arbitrary human convention (zigzags around Pacific)

    • With lunar month start, the location that first sees the sign sets the date

    • This naturally creates a moving reference point each month

    • Combined with lunar Sabbath, weeks reset each month - no dateline problem

    • Accessibility principle requires observable solution without technology

    The dateline problem is often overlooked but is devastating to Saturday Sabbath claims. How did ancient peoples on opposite sides of the earth keep the same "Saturday" without modern communication?
