- Alignment of human calendars with celestial observations (sun, moon, and stars).
- The role of biblical references and traditions in timekeeping systems.
- Scientific observations and their influence on modern calendars.
- Challenges of synchronizing natural celestial cycles with human-made time structures.
- The evolution of lunar, solar, and lunisolar calendars.
- Cultural and theological significance of calendar systems in ancient civilizations.

Rediscovering God's Timekeeping: Observing the Biblical Calendar
This book delves deeply into the concept of observing the sun, moon, and stars to determine the Biblical calendar, demonstrating how these celestial signs align with God's intended design for timekeeping. It explores the challenges introduced by relying on human-devised systems, such as the Hebrew calendar's mathematical rules or modern timekeeping's artificial adjustments like Daylight Savings Time. Through careful examination of scripture and historical practices, the book advocates for a return to observation as a method that honors the simplicity and universality of God's creation. By aligning with natural phenomena rather than man-made constructs, believers can ensure that their observance of appointed times is accurate and faithful to Biblical principles.
For those seeking to deepen their understanding of God's appointed times and the principles behind the Biblical calendar, this book offers invaluable insights. It presents a compelling case for relying on observation as a more accurate and spiritually grounded approach, supported by scripture and historical evidence. Readers are encouraged to consider how their current methods of timekeeping may inadvertently reflect biases toward human traditions, and how embracing God's observable timepiece can lead to a more authentic walk of faith. This journey of rediscovery promises not only to enrich one's understanding of the Biblical calendar but also to strengthen their relationship with the Creator.
