I was always taught that when Isaiah 66:23 states that, “from one new moon to another and from one sabbath to another” simply meant, “from month to month and from week to week”. Isn this correct?
Historically among Sabbatarians, this text in Isaiah has been most useful in showing that the Lord Yahweh’s true seventh-day Sabbath will continue to be kept Holy even in the New Earth by His faithful redeemed. With this said, the same specific rules must apply to the New Moon which is also mentioned in connection with the Sabbath, giving them specific meaning. If the reference to the New Moon simply meant “monthly” or “from month to month” then the same would hold true for the Sabbath, which would make it’s meaning dwindle to a mere “week to week”, and loose its Sabbath importance. I believe Isaiah is defining that New Moon days and seventh-day Sabbaths will continue to be kept Holy by the faithful redeemed throughout all eternity.
