Evening to evening. The beginning of the next day to the beginning of the next day. The Exodus of Israel began on the 15th before sunrise as I read it. That represents a new life in Christ. This represents being "born again."
"Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord." (Isaiah 52:11)
Can't wait for the yeast to make the bread rise. Don't bother with the leaven. Does that make sense to you?

Agreed. It took me years of digging. You’re a good guy. Keep digging and sharing with me, and I with you. BTW, Forgive me for my imperfection toward you. I'll make mistakes until the day I die even though I mean no harm. Presumption is always harmful.
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. (Psalm 19:13)

The days mentioned in Genesis is symbolic and there was evening and morning, a dusk and dawn continueous light.
the sun was created on the 4th day, there is no sun during the first three days, so using a 24 hour day goes right out the window quick.
yea I know this is going to be real hard for you to leap, it's ok
a million years equals a minute, this is length of each of those days. welcome to do the math.

AMEN! There are just some things that are still beyond man’s comprehension for good reason. Why? So we have no alternative but to admit Who is really in control of all things. According to scripture, "day" is a certain time of happening or sequence.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.(2 Peter 3:8 )

Amen brother, though God does reveal things to those who take the leap of faith that I know. 
i think its a real beauty on how the creation account goes really deep in explaination.
The verbiage on creation in Genesis is of the universe, of galaxies, of planets, wrapped up in a short basic fundamentals that rings true on many advance levels.

200 years ago our government was much more open to the influence of Biblical precepts. Even then I doubt that you could have persuaded anyone to adopt a lunar/solar calendar. In our time our government is increasingly hostile to Biblical precepts.
You are not likely to change the way we reckon time so why not crusade for something that can be accomplished?

In our time, even the Jewish calendar, which has been in continuous use since the Exodus, is superimposed on the Gregorian calendar. Not only that; but with rare exceptions Jewish calendars use the post-exilic names of several months; so that the months are now named for Babylonian idols. Abib is called Nissan and Ethanim is called Tishri, among others.
You are fighting a loosing battle!

Observation of the "new moons" even though we don't hear the sounding of the two silver trumpets any more. At least that's all I can do. But I have an advantage. I'm retired. If I was a farmer, being able to sustain myself in relation to the agrarian culture of the Bible, I would be doing the same thing I suppose. It's our Creator's times and seasons. We can’t do a thing to change the cycles of the signs given for His purpose for us. I like supernatural spiritual gifts, but I don't speak languages that I cannot understand. LOL
