Comment on the posting of David van der Toorn. By Odette Boily. For Dr. Veith to believe in a Full Moon for new moon, he has to reject the Spirit of Prophecy. In Desire of Ages, chapter 74, on Gethsamene, she wrote: 1. Full Moon at Gethsemane: 'In company with His disciples, the Saviour slowly made His way to the garden of Gethsemane. The Passover moon, broad and full, shone from a cloudless sky. The city of pilgrims’ tents was hushed into silence.' page 685 This was Abib 13 changing to 14 at sunset with the full moon in the eastern sky. Christ died the following afternoon at the 9th hour. 2. No eclipse at Calvary - as claimed by Kerrie French the proponent of a full moon for new moon 'With amazement angels witnessed the Saviour’s despairing agony. The hosts of heaven veiled their faces from the fearful sight. Inanimate nature expressed sympathy with its insulted and dying Author. The sun refused to look upon the awful scene. Its full, bright rays were illuminating the earth at midday, when suddenly it seemed to be blotted out. Complete darkness, like a funeral pall, enveloped the cross. “There was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.” There was no eclipse or other natural cause for this darkness, which was as deep as midnight without moon or stars. It was a miraculous testimony given by God that the faith of after generations might be confirmed. {DA 753.3} In that thick darkness God’s presence was hidden. He makes darkness His pavilion, and conceals His glory from human eyes. God and His holy angels were beside the cross. The Father was with His Son. Yet His presence was not revealed. Had His glory flashed forth from the cloud, every human beholder would have been destroyed. And in that dreadful hour Christ was not to be comforted with the Father’s presence. He trod the wine press alone, and of the people there was none with Him. {DA 753.4} In the thick darkness, God veiled the last human agony of His Son. All who had seen Christ in His suffering had been convicted of His divinity. That face, once beheld by humanity, was never forgotten. As the face of Cain expressed his guilt as a murderer, so the face of Christ revealed innocence, serenity, benevolence,—the image of God. But His accusers would not give heed to the signet of heaven. Through long hours of agony Christ had been gazed upon by the jeering multitude. Now He was mercifully hidden by the mantle of God. {DA 754.1} There is no eclipse at full moon, only at new moon. So Kerrie French and David Van Toorn who started this foolishness. of a new moon at full moon, try to explain the darkness with an eclipse where the prophet makes it clear that it was an act of the Father who hid. His face for a moment from His son while He carried the sin of the world on His shoulders. Now we can see who has rejected the Spirit of Prophecy and who has not. All the other argument Kerrie French offers to explain her stand can be debunked easily, like the earthquake and others. The platform of the 2300 days prophecy stands or falls on a New Moon based on the First Visible Horned Crescent. As soon as we deviate from this established pin, October 22, 1844 cease to exist. Yet we are told that this date cannot be impeached. Some have tried to say that the prophet did not implied the October 22, 1844 date but it simply demonstrate their willful ignorance of the Spirit of Prophecy. She has never separated that date of October 22, 1844 from the whole platform. October 22 is the exact day and month of Gregorian reckoning which correspond to the 10th day of the 7th month. Without October 22, they can adjust their so-called new finding of the conjunction for new moon and now the full moon for new moon as some proponents to this falsehood have claimed. Anyone including Dr. Veith, who is new at it that support such a falsehood, are removing the pins of the platform of the 2300 days and cannot be trusted. My faith is based in the Bible and the Word of Prophecy which is the Testimonies of the Savior who fullfilled them to the dot and tittle.
