“He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.”
Psalms 104:19 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 104:19
God appointed the moon for seasons (mo'adim, also meaning appointed times/festivals), and the sun knows its setting. Heavenly bodies operate on precise schedules set by God, governing time's passage. The moon's phases determined Israel's calendar and festivals, making it essential for worship timing. The sun's predictable rising and setting demonstrates reliable divine order. This astronomical precision points to God's faithfulness—as surely as sun and moon follow their courses, God keeps His promises. Christ's resurrection on the first day (Sunday) established a new creation week.
