The True Meaning of the Sabbath, Jumu’ah, Moedim, and the Manipulation of Time
Throughout history, divine laws have been given as guidance for spiritual and physical well-being. However, human manipulation, especially through Archonic systems, has distorted these laws to enslave rather than liberate. This lecture explores:
1️⃣ The original purpose of the Sabbath and its connection to freedom
2️⃣ The historical transformation of Jumu’ah and its link to the Sabbath
3️⃣ The Moedim (appointed times), Miqra (sacred gatherings), and their connection to the Moon
4️⃣ The changes in calendar systems and how divine timekeeping was hijacked
5️⃣ Why most people today are unable to keep the Sabbath properly due to economic enslavement
1️⃣ The Sabbath – A Sign of Freedom, Not Burden
📜 Exodus 20:8-10
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work…"
📜 Deuteronomy 5:15
"Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. That is why the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day."
📌 Key Observations:
• The Sabbath was not originally a universal law from creation but was introduced after the Israelites left slavery as a sign of freedom.
• The concept of God "resting" in Genesis was likely added later to justify a universal Sabbath law.
📜 Isaiah 40:28
"Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard That the everlasting God, the LORD, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Fainteth not, neither is weary? His discernment is past searching out."
📜 Kolbrin, SOF:20:31
"From the hour of darkness beginning the seventh day until the hour of darkness beginning the first day is a time of rest and meditation… It is to be a time of tranquility for soul communion and sacred study."
📌 Conclusion:
✅ The Sabbath was not a burden but a divine protection against human exploitation.
✅ The Archons want people to work endlessly so they never have time to connect with the Divine.
📜 Isaiah 58:6
"Is this not the fast I have chosen—to loosen the chains of injustice, to set the oppressed free?"
💡 The Sabbath is not just about rest—it symbolizes liberation from economic and spiritual enslavement.
2️⃣ The Sabbath, Moedim, and the Connection to the Moon
📜 Psalms 104:19
"He made the moon for Moedim (appointed times); the sun knows its going down."
📜 Leviticus 23:1-3
"And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 'Speak to the children of Israel and say to them: The Feasts (Moedim) of the Lord, which you shall proclaim as holy convocations (Miqra), these are My Feasts. Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation.'"
📌 Key Observations:
• The Moedim (appointed times) were determined by the moon (Psalm 104:19).
• The first Moed (appointed time) listed is the Sabbath (Leviticus 23:3), meaning it was also determined by the lunar cycle.
• Amos 8:5 confirms that both the Sabbath and the New Moon stopped business.
📜 Amos 8:5
"When will the New Moon be past, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may trade wheat?"
📌 **This proves that the Sabbath was originally tied to the Moon's cycle, not the modern fixed seven-day week.
📜 Oahspe 11/1.66
"They shall preserve the four days of the change of the moon as sacred days, and they shall be called mass (moon’s) days [Sabbaths]."
📌 Conclusion:
✅ The original Sabbath was lunar-based, not a fixed seven-day cycle.
✅ The shift to a fixed weekly Sabbath happened after calendar reforms to integrate into economic systems.
3️⃣ The True Origin of Jumu’ah – A Gathering Before the End of the Sixth Day and Its Connection to Miqra
📜 Qur’an 62:9
"O you who believe! When the call is made for Jumu'ah, hasten to the remembrance of Ellah and leave off trade."
📌 Jumu’ah originally did NOT mean "Friday"—it meant "gathering" or "assembly."
📌 Pre-Islamic Arabs followed a solar-lunar system, numbering days rather than naming them.
📌 The sixth day was originally called "Yaum al-Arubah", NOT "Jumu’ah."
📜 Leviticus 23:3
"The seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation (Miqra)."
📌 Key Connection Between Jumu’ah and Miqra:
• Jumu’ah (assembly) was not just a weekly gathering, but was observed on New Moons and Feasts (Moedim) just as the Miqra (Sacred Assemblies) were.
• Sabbath was always a Moed, which means Jumu’ah was originally part of the Moedim system that included weekly, monthly, and seasonal gatherings.
• Amos 8:5 confirms that trade was stopped before the Sabbath, aligning with the Qur'anic command to stop trade before Jumma, i.e. near the end of the sixth day.
📜 Kolbrin, SOF:20:31
"From the hour of darkness beginning the seventh day until the hour of darkness beginning the first day is a time of rest and meditation. It is to be a time of tranquillity for soul communion and sacred study."
📌 Conclusion:
✅ Jumu’ah was never originally "Friday", it was the gathering that occurred before the Sabbath began.
✅ Jumu’ah was originally a Moed, aligning with the weekly, monthly (New Moon), and seasonal sacred gatherings (Miqra).
✅ The renaming of the sixth day to Jumu’ah and its later association with Friday was part of calendar manipulation to disconnect people from the lunar system.
The Meaning of "Innama" in Qur’an—Was Sabbath Given ONLY to the Israelites?
📜 Qur’an 16:124 "Innama (إنما) the Sabbath was prescribed only for those who differed concerning it."
📌 Linguistic Analysis of "Innama"
In Arabic, "Innama" can mean “only” or “indeed/truly.”
If it means "only," this contradicts Isaiah 56:6-7, where Ellah invites all nations to keep the Sabbath.
A more accurate translation:
➡ "Indeed, the Sabbath was prescribed for those who disputed it." (i.e., they debated its importance, so Ellah reaffirmed it.)
📜 Isaiah 56:6-7
"Let not the foreigner say, ‘Ellah has excluded me from His people.’ Everyone who keeps the Sabbath without profaning it and holds fast to My covenant—I will bring to My holy mountain and give them joy in My house of prayer."
📜 Isaiah 66:23
"And it shall come to pass, That from one new moon to another, And from one sabbath to another, Shall all flesh come to worship before Me, Saith the LORD."
📌 Conclusion:
➡ The Sabbath was given to Israel as a sign of liberation, but it was not exclusive to them.
➡ Isaiah confirms that all nations are welcome to observe it.
➡ That the Sabbath is connected to the New Moon.
4️⃣ Manipulation of the Calendar by Archons
📜 Daniel 7:25
"He will attempt to change the set times and laws."
📜 Kolbrin, OGS:6:11
"These were the times when days received their names and weeks their numbering. The coming of the moon was made known, and daylight was divided into four parts."
📌 The Sabbath was originally tied to the Moon's cycle, but the modern fixed Friday (Jumu’ah) was a later distortion introduced for economic and political convenience.
5️⃣ Are We Guilty If We Cannot Keep the True Sabbath?
📜 Exodus 5:5
"Pharaoh said: ‘Look, the people of the land are now numerous, and you are stopping them from working!’"
📌 The Israelites could not keep the Sabbath in Egypt because they were slaves.
📌 Similarly, today people are trapped in an economic system that dictates their work schedules.
📜 Deuteronomy 5:15
"Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. That is why the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day."
📌 Key Observations:
• The Sabbath was given as a sign of freedom from slavery.
• If someone is enslaved by the economic system, they cannot fully observe it.
📜 Qur’an 2:286
"Ellah does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear."
📌 If someone is forced to work because of the system, they are not at fault—the fault is with the oppressive system itself.
💡 The Goal is to Become Free
✅ Before keeping divine laws, one must first be free.
✅ A person working under a corporate or state-controlled system is not truly free.
✅ The ultimate goal is to become independent, so that one can align fully with divine laws.
📜 Kolbrin, SOF:20:31
"From the hour of darkness beginning the seventh day until the hour of darkness beginning the first day is a time of rest and meditation. It is to be a time of tranquility for soul communion and sacred study."
➡ Even if one cannot fully observe the Sabbath now, they should still set aside time for spiritual reflection and connection with Ellah whenever possible.
📜 John 8:32
"The truth will set you free."
📌 Key Takeaway:
✅ Sabbath is about liberation, not restriction.
✅ If someone cannot keep it due to economic slavery, they are not at fault.
✅ One should first seek economic freedom and independence to be able to align with divine laws.
✅ **Even in the current system
