<> Here are some scriptures for the beginning of a new month/newmoon from the Complete Jewish Bible (Messianic) by David H. Stern pg. 1618 (Readings for Festivals and Fasts):
Numbers 28: 9-15
Isaiah 66: 1-24
Colossians 2: 16-17
Revelation 21: 1; 22: 5
The Scriptures tell us that there were seven days of Creation(Gen.1). The seventh day is the weekly Sabbath (Exodus 20:8-11; Gen.2:1-2). Likewise, there are (seven) "annual holy days in the Hebrew calendar"--
1. Passover (1st.day of UnleavenBread)
2. Last Day of Unleaven Bread
3. Pentecost (Shavuot)
4. Yom Teruah (Blowing of the Trumpets)
5. Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement)
6. First Day of the Feast of Tabernacles
7. Shemini Atzeret (the "Eight Day")(Leviticus 23).

Also, there are seven Sabbatical years in a Jubilee cycle of years (Lev.25). That is, every seventh year is a "yr. of rest," even as the seventh day of the week is a day of "rest." After seven of These Sabbatical years, comes the fiftieth year, called the "Jubilee"of freedom, liberty, & redemption. Seven is therefore the number of divine perfection, completion, & fullness.
