Correct Start of Each Month with Expectations

Every new moon is the right start of each month from the sunset it becomes visible to and is seen with our naked eyes from our respective region, on the confirmation of at least two or three reliable eye witnesses. On the naked eye sighting and confirmation of which, our Creator expects of us a worship gathering to Him the same day.

“And in the beginnings of your months (MOONS, NEW MOONS) ye shall offer a burnt offering unto Yahweh; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without spot; And three tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, for one bullock; and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, for one ram; And a several tenth deal of flour mingled with oil for a meat offering unto one lamb; for a burnt offering of a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto Yahweh. And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine unto a bullock, and the third part of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth part of an hin unto a lamb: this is the burnt offering of EVERY month (MOON, NEW MOON) throughout the months (MOONS, NEW MOONS) of the year. And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto Yahweh shall be offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering,” Numbers 28:11-15.

“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 Yahweh,” Isaiah 66:23.

“Let no man, except the body of the Messiah, therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the NEW MOON, or of the sabbath days: Which ARE a shadow of things to come,” Colossians 2:16-17.

Because sunset is correctly when each twenty-four-(24)-hour day begins and ends (Leviticus 23:32), the first visible appearing and naked eye sighting of each new moon crescent at or just after the sunset-beginning point of the twenty-four-(24)-hour day, makes for the same evening the new moon is seen, to be the new moon correct first night of the month and the following daylight, until sunset, to be the new moon correct first daylight of the month.

 

Starting the Right First Month

Along with these heavenly inspired two criteria in the Holy Bible for the start of each month by way of the naked eye sighting of the visible new moon crescent and the setting of the sun, there is one more criterion that must of a heavenly necessity come into play and be carefully ascertained to determine which visible new moon and sunset that starts the right first month of the new year.

It would not have been too long after the plague of hail storm was executed against Pharaoh’s dynasty in Egypt at the time the fields of incoming wild barley crop there was in the ear (abib/aviv early FIRM DOUGH, ZADOKS 86 stage of maturity) in Exodus 9, that Israel was shown in Exodus 12 which visible new moon crescent and sunset they were to have considered as the correct starting point of the right first month of the new year while the barley in Egypt was in the said maturing stage.

“And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field. And the flax and the BARLEY was smitten: for the BARLEY was IN THE EAR (#24 abib/aviv is the Hebrew word referring to when fields of barley are at an early FIRM DOUGH, ZADOKS 86 stage of maturity some two weeks prior to being fully ripe for national harvesting), and the flax was bolled. Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail,” Exodus 9:25, 31, 26.

“And Yahweh spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This month (MOON, NEW MOON) [at the time fields of wild barley are in the ear at an early FIRM DOUGH, ZADOKS 86 stage of maturity] shall be unto you the beginning of months (MOONS, NEW MOONS): it shall be the first month (MOON, NEW MOON) of the year to you,” Exodus 12:1-2.

Deuteronomy 16:1 is clear that Moses clearly understood Exodus 9-12 while in Egypt, that at what maturing stage the wild barley crop is, throughout the land in the Middle East, is a top criterion that must first be taken into consideration and heavenly employed to determine the visible new moon crescent and sunset that ushers-in the right first month of the New Year.

“Observe (hedge about, i.e. guard; protect, attend to) the month (MOON, NEW MOON) of Abib (when fields of wild barley in Israel are in the ear at an early FIRM DOUGH, ZADOKS 86 stage of maturity), and keep the passover unto Yahweh thy Elohim [from the sunset-start of the fourteenth evening of the same moon]: for in the month (MOON, NEW MOON) of (which becomes naked eye visible during) Abib (when fields of wild barley in Israel are at an early FIRM DOUGH, ZADOKS 86 stage of maturity) Yahweh thy Elohim brought thee forth out of Egypt by night,” Deuteronomy 16:1.

 

Calendar Setting from Creation with Purpose

Beginning with Genesis 1:14-18, our Creator’s given reasons for His calendar to mankind, guided by His sun and moon planetary bodies in the heavens that He brought into existence on the day AFTER His AGRICULTURAL part of creation including the BARLEY (Genesis 1:9-12), is for the purpose of setting in motion the activities He carefully began laying out to Moses and Aaron, first in Exodus 12 immediately after outlining in the start of this same chapter when, how and by what means the right first month of the new year is to be arrived at, WHILE the fields of BARLEY in the Middle East is ABIB/AVIV (IN THE EAR, at an early FIRM DOUGH, ZADOKS 86 stage of maturity).

“And Elohim said, Let there be lights (brightness, i.e. cheerfulness) in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs (a signal, as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence), and for seasons (an appointment, i.e. a fixed time or season; a festival; conventionally a year; an assembly; the congregation; the place of meeting; a signal; to meet at a stated time, to summon to trial, to direct in a certain quarter or position, to engage for marriage), and for days (to be hot; a day as the warm hours, from sunrise to sunset, or from one sunset to the next), and years (to fold, i.e. duplicate; to transmute): And let them be for lights (brightness, i.e. cheerfulness) in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And Elohim made two great lights (brightness, i.e. cheerfulness); the greater light (brightness, i.e. cheerfulness) to rule the day, and the lesser light (brightness, i.e. cheerfulness) to rule the night: he made the stars also. And Elohim set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and Elohim saw that it was good,” Genesis 1:14-18.

This same Genesis 1:14-18 reasons for these two great lights the Psalmist King David clearly understood when he composed and sang Psalm 104:19: “He appointed the moon for seasons (an appointment, i.e. a fixed time or season; a festival; conventionally a year; an assembly; the congregation; the place of meeting; a signal; to meet at a stated time, to summon to trial, to direct in a certain quarter or position, to engage for marriage): the sun knoweth his going down [in determining the start and end of a twenty-four-(24)-hour day].”

 

Old and New Testament Passover in the Right First Month

Providing the fields of wild barley in Israel (Isaiah 2:3; Micah 4:2) were to arrive to the early FIRM DOUGH, ZADOKS 86 abib/aviv stage of maturity in time for the ending of the last quarter of the twelfth moon Adar coinciding with the last week of this March 2017, this will herald-in the new-moon-and-sunset-start of the right first month of the new year on the biblical calendar with the Tuesday sunset 28^th March 2017 date and time this upcoming new moon is expected to become naked eye visible to the region of the Americas as the new moon of the abib/aviv barley.

Counting fourteen evenings from the 28/03/2017 sunset/evening of the visible first sighting of this upcoming particular new moon of the abib/aviv barley, places the compulsory congregational memorial observance of our Saviour’s Passover death for the sunset-start of the fourteenth day of the right first month in the early spring time of the ripening barley crop, coinciding with Monday sunset/evening 10^th April 2017.

“In the fourteenth day (Tuesday 11^th April 2017) of the first month (MOON) at even (Monday sunset/evening 10^th April 2017) is Yahweh's Passover,” Leviticus 23:5.

"Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month (MOON): and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it," Exodus 12:5-8.

"Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto Yahweh thy Elohim, of the flock and the herd, in the place which Yahweh shall choose to place his name there. Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it... Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee: But at the place which Yahweh thy Elohim shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt. And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which Yahweh thy Elohim shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents, " Deuteronomy 16:2-3, 5-7.

"Now before the feast of the passover, when Yahshua knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end. And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him; Yahshua knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from Yahweh, and went to Yahweh; He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Master, dost thou wash my feet? Yahshua answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Yahshua answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. Simon Peter saith unto him, Master, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. Yahshua saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? Ye call me Master and Sovereign: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Sovereign and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his master; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me," John 13:1-18.

"Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Yahshua, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples. And the disciples did as Yahshua had appointed them; and they made ready the passover. Now when the even (sunset-start of the fourteenth day of the first moon of the abib/aviv) was come, he sat down with the twelve. And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Master, is it I? And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said. And as they were eating, Yahshua took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom," Matthew 26:17-29.

“For I have received of the Master that which also I delivered unto you, That the Master Yahshua the same [passover] night (after the sunset-start of the fourteenth evening of the ripening barley first moon of the year) in which he was betrayed took [unleavened] bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup (containing non-alcoholic, pure juice of the fruit of the vine), when he had supped, saying, This cup (containing non-alcoholic, pure juice of the fruit of the vine) is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this [unleavened] bread, and drink this cup (containing non-alcoholic, pure juice of the fruit of the vine) [once each year in the same fourteenth evening, after the sunset-start of the fourteenth day of the first moon, in the earlier of spring when fields of wild barley corn/grain are ripening], ye do shew (proclaim, promulgate) the Master's death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this [unleavened] bread, and drink this cup (containing non-alcoholic, pure juice of the fruit of the vine) of the Master, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Master. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that [unleavened] bread, and drink of that cup (containing non-alcoholic, pure juice of the fruit of the vine). For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Master's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Master, that we should not be condemned with the world,” 1 Corinthians 11:23-32.

 

Old and New Testament Circumcision Requirement for Passover

Back under the Old Covenant, only the circumcised in the flesh, outwardly, were being allowed to partake of the Passover then.

"And Yahweh said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof: But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof. A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof. All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to Yahweh, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for NO uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you," Exodus 12:43-45, 47-49.

In this New Covenant era, circumcision is that of the heart, a requirement which was already also referred to under the Old Covenant.

"Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked," Deuteronomy 10:16.

"And Yahweh thy Elohim will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love Yahweh thy Elohim with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live," Deuteronomy 30:6.

The New Testament circumcision is performed by way of true repentance and conversion from sin, followed by water baptism (immersion) in the one and only saving name of our creating Savior, YAHSHUA ha'Mashiach.

"Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Yahshua ha'Mashiach for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as Yahweh our Elohim shall call," Acts 2:37-39.

"Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of Yahweh," Acts 3:19.

"For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of Yahweh," Romans 2:25-29.

"Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised. Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of Yahweh," 1 Corinthians 7:18-19.

"Therefore if any man be in ha'Mashiach, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new," 2 Corinthians 5:17.

"For in Yahshua ha'Mashiach neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love," Galatians 5:6.

"For in ha'Mashiach Yahshua neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature," Galatians 6:15.

"In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of ha'Mashiach: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of Yahweh, who hath raised him from the dead. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses," Colossians 2:11-13.

"If ye then be risen with ha'Mashiach, seek those things which are above, where ha'Mashiach sitteth on the right hand of Yahweh. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with ha'Mashiach in Yahweh. When ha'Mashiach, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things' sake the wrath of Yahweh cometh on the children of disobedience: In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but ha'Mashiach is all, and in all," Colossians 3:1-11.

Only then, in this New Covenant era, is one allowed to partake of, eat and drink from the Passover emblems of our Savior Yahshua's body and blood, worthily (1 Corinthians 11:23-32).

 

Old and New Testament Feast of Unleavened Bread in the Right First Month

Immediately upon the arrival of the sunset-end of the fourteenth day, after observing Yahweh’s Passover in commemoration of His Son’s sacrificial death on our behalf, begins the fifteenth day of the Aviv barley first moon of the New Year as an annual holy Sabbath day in observance of the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days which, this year 2017, will be celebrated from Tuesday sunset 11^th to Tuesday sunset 18^th April, contingent on the maturing of the fields of wild barley in Israel this March 2017.

“Seven days (Tuesday sunset 11^th to Tuesday sunset 18^th April 2017) shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day (before Tuesday sunset 11^th April 2017 arrives) ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day (Tuesday sunset 11^th April 2017) until the seventh day (Tuesday sunset 18^th April 2017), that soul shall be cut off from Israel. And in the first day (Wednesday 12^th April 2017) there shall be an HOLY convocation (worship service gathering), and in the seventh day (Tuesday 18^th April 2017) there shall be an HOLY convocation (worship service gathering) to you; NO manner of work shall be done in them (Wednesday 12^th and Tuesday 18^th April 2017), SAVE (EXCEPT) that (preparation of food) which every man must eat (on Wednesday 12^th and Tuesday 18^th April 2017), that ONLY may be done of you. And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever. In the first month (MOON), on the fourteenth day of the month (MOON) at even (from Tuesday sunset 11^th April 2017), ye shall eat unleavened bread, UNTIL the one and twentieth day of the month (MOON) at even (Tuesday sunset 18^th April 2017). Seven days (Tuesday sunset 11^th to Tuesday sunset 18^th April 2017) shall there be NO leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land. Ye shall eat NOTHING leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread,” Exodus 12:15-20.

“And on the fifteenth day (Tuesday sunset 11^th to Wednesday sunset 12^th April 2017) of the same month (MOON) is the feast of unleavened bread unto Yahweh: seven days (Tuesday sunset 11^th to Tuesday sunset 18^th April 2017) ye MUST eat unleavened bread. In the first day (Wednesday 12^th April 2017) ye shall have an HOLY convocation (worship service gathering): ye shall do NO servile work therein (between Tuesday sunset 11^th and Wednesday sunset 12^th April 2017). But ye shall offer an offering made by fire (present your bodies a holy and acceptable living sacrifice, in a congregational worship setting) unto Yahweh seven days (Wednesday 12^th to Tuesday 18^th April 2017): in the seventh day (Tuesday 18^th April 2017) is an HOLY convocation (worship service gathering): ye shall do NO servile work therein (between Monday sunset 17^th and Tuesday sunset 18^th April 2017),” Leviticus 23:6-8.

“Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even [the] Messiah our passover [lamb] is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us [literally, physically and spiritually] keep (celebrate) the [seven days] feast [of unleavened bread (from Tuesday sunset 11^th to Tuesday sunset 18^th April 2017)], not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth,” 1 Corinthians 5:6-8.

 

Old Testament Count Started with "Touch Me NOT" after Resurrection

The first day of the week which always occurs during the seven days Feast of Unleavened Bread is always the day of the barley wave sheaf, Sunday 16^th April 2017, which starts the fifty days countdown to the Pentecost (fiftieth day) annual holy Sabbath Feast of Weeks/Wheat Harvest/First-fruits celebration, occurring in the third moon Sivan on Pentecost (fiftieth day) Sunday 4^th June 2017, contingent on the maturing of the fields of wild barley in Israel this March 2017.

“And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your [barley] harvest unto the priest: And he shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh, to be accepted for you: on the morrow (feast of unleavened bread Sunday 16^th April 2017) after the sabbath (Saturday 15^th April 2017) the priest shall wave it. And ye shall offer that day (feast of unleavened bread Sunday 16^th April 2017) when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto Yahweh. And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine [barley] flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto Yahweh for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin. And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched (roasted) corn, nor green ears (this is a mistranslation as the Hebrew word is not #24 abib/aviv; #3759 karmel is the Hebrew word, referring to the stage of full maturity/ripeness not requiring roasting, fully ripe corn/grain)  [from your barley crop], until the selfsame day (feast of unleavened bread Sunday 16^th April 2017) that ye have brought an offering unto your Elohim: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings,” Leviticus 23:9-14.

“The [feast of unleavened bread wave sheaf] first day of the week [in which is the first of the seven weekly Sabbaths in the fifty days countdown to the fiftieth day] cometh Miriam Magdalene early (at about the sunset-end of the weekly holy seventh day sabbath, Matthew 28:1-6), when it was [as (not)] yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Yahshua loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Master out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed. For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. Then the disciples went away again unto their own home. But Miriam stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Yahshua had lain. And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Master, and I know not where they have laid him. And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Yahshua standing, and knew not that it was Yahshua. Yahshua saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Yahshua saith unto her, Miriam. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. Yahshua saith unto her, Touch me NOT; for I am not yet ascended to my Father [as the sheaf of the firstfruits (Leviticus 23:9-14)]: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my Elohim, and your Elohim [to be accepted as the sheaf of the firstfruits for you on this feast of unleavened bread first day of the week],” John 20:1-17.

"But every man in his own order: Messiah [the sheaf of] the firstfruits [to have died sinless and be resurrected from the dead to eternal life]; afterward they that are Messiah's at his coming," 1 Corinthians 15:23.

 

Fifty Days Later, Counting from During the Right First Month

“And ye shall count unto you from the morrow (feast of unleavened bread Sunday 16^th April 2017) after the sabbath (Saturday 15^th April 2017), from the day (feast of unleavened bread Sunday 16^th April 2017) that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering (John 20:1-17); seven [weekly] sabbaths (Saturday 22^nd and 29^th April, 6^th, 13^th, 20^th and 27^th May and 3^rd June 2017) shall be complete: Even unto the morrow (Sunday 4^th June 2017) after the seventh [weekly] sabbath (Saturday 3^rd June 2017) shall ye number FIFTY days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto Yahweh. Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine [wheat] flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits (representing those presenting their bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable) unto Yahweh. And ye shall offer with the [wheat] bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto Yahweh, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto Yahweh. Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings. And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits [from your ripe wheat crop] for a wave offering before Yahweh, with the two lambs: they shall be HOLY to Yahweh for the priest. And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame [fiftieth] day (Pentecost Sunday 4^th June 2017), that it may be an HOLY convocation (worship service gathering) unto you: ye shall do NO servile work therein (between Saturday sunset 3^rd and Sunday sunset 4^th June 2017): it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations,” Leviticus 23:15-21.

"Seven weeks (Sunday 16th April to Saturday 3rd June 2017) shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from such time (the feast of unleavened bread first day of the week Sunday 16th April 2017) as thou beginnest to put the sickle (cutting hook) to the [standing barley stalks of ripe] corn. And thou shalt keep the [annual holy sabbath day] feast of weeks (Sunday 4th June 2017) unto Yahweh thy Elohim with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto Yahweh thy Elohim, according as Yahweh thy Elohim hath blessed thee: And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes," Deuteronomy 16:9-12.

“And when the day of Pentecost (fiftieth day) was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place [celebrating the annual holy Sabbath day Feast of Weeks/Wheat Harvest/First-fruits],” Acts 2:1 (Leviticus 23:9-21). In like manner, those of us today who have repented, are obedient and messianic blood washed from our sins by way of having received water baptism (immersion) in the name of Yahshua our Savior for the remission of sins, with the Holy Spirit in us, are looking forward to being gathered together with one accord in one place likewise, when this same ANNUAL Pentecost (fiftieth day) holy Sabbath day will have fully come on Sunday 4^th June 2017, in congregational praise, worship and thanksgiving to Yahweh our loving heavenly father and creating Elohim.

“For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost (fiftieth day) [in observance of the annual holy Sabbath Feast of Weeks/Wheat Harvest/First-fruits],” Acts 20:16 (Leviticus 23:9-21).

“But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost (fiftieth day annual holy Sabbath Feast of Weeks/Wheat Harvest/First-fruits),” 1 Corinthians 16:8 (Leviticus 23:9-21).

"But every man in his own order: Messiah [the sheaf of] the firstfruits [to have died sinless and be resurrected from the dead to eternal life]; afterward they (represented in the Pentecost - fiftieth day - annual holy sabbath feast of weeks/wheat harvest/firstfruits) that are Messiah's at his coming," 1 Corinthians 15:23.

 

About a Three Moons Three Weeks Break

By looking out for and keeping track with each new moon as the heavenly directed sign in the Holy Bible for the commencement of each month from the sunset it becomes visible to and is confirmed to have been sighted from our respective region by at least two or three reliable eye witnesses, we find in Yahweh’s setting of His eternal life giving calendar activities that, there’s about a three moons three weeks break from annual celebrations after that the annual celebration of the Pentecost (fiftieth day) Sunday holy Sabbath Feast of Weeks/Wheat Harvest/First-fruits, occurring always in the third moon Sivan, is sunset expired.

It is not until the seventh new moon in the early of autumn we’re again on the annual celebration journey with the new-moon-and-sunset-start of the biblical seventh month Ethanim.

 

Feast of Trumpets, a New Moon Day Annual Sabbath

The new moon ushering-in the biblical seventh month is the only new moon that is a commanded holy Sabbath day and an annual one at that. This fourth annual holy Sabbath day in the year, on the biblical calendar, is the Feast of Trumpets carded to be celebrated on Friday 22^nd September 2017, contingent on the maturing of the fields of wild barley in Israel this March 2017.

The predicted Thursday sunset 21^st September 2017 for the appearing and naked eye sighting of the seventh new moon, which, if seen as predicted, will see the remaining four annual observances, all occurring in the seventh moon Ethanim, being celebrated between Thursday sunset 21^st September and Friday sunset 13^th October 2017 on their respective dates.

“And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month (MOON, NEW MOON), in the first day of the month (MOON, NEW MOON), shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an HOLY convocation (worship service gathering). Ye shall do NO servile work therein (between Thursday sunset 21^st the new moon is naked eye sighted and Friday sunset 22^nd September 2017): but ye shall offer an offering made by fire (present your bodies a holy and acceptable living sacrifice, in a congregational worship setting) unto Yahweh," Leviticus 23:23-25.

"Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet (on the new moon day annual holy sabbath feast of blowing of trumpets?), and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other (on the new moon day annual holy sabbath feast of blowing of trumpets?)," Matthew 24:29-31.

"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump (on the new moon day annual holy sabbath feast of blowing of trumpets?): for the trumpet shall sound (on the new moon day annual holy sabbath feast of blowing of trumpets?), and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality [at the sounding of the last trump (on the new moon day annual holy sabbath feast of blowing of trumpets?)]. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality [at the sounding of the last trump (on the new moon day annual holy sabbath feast of blowing of trumpets?)], then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to Yahweh, which giveth us the victory through our Master Yahshua ha'Mashiach. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Master, forasmuch as ye know that your labour (including celebrating the new moon day annual sabbath feast of blowing of trumpets on Friday 22nd September 2017) is not in vain in the Master," 1 Corinthians 15:51-58.

 

Annual Holy Sabbath Day of Atonement Fast

"And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying, Also on the tenth day (Sunday 1^st October 2017) of this seventh month (MOON) there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an HOLY convocation (worship service gathering) unto you; and ye shall afflict (withhold all eating and drinking from) your souls, and offer an offering made by fire (present your bodies a holy and acceptable living sacrifice, in a congregational worship setting) unto Yahweh. And ye shall do NO work in that same day (between Saturday sunset 30^th September and Sunday sunset 1^st October 2017): for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before Yahweh your Elohim. For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted (fasting) in that same day (from Saturday sunset 30^th September to Sunday sunset 1^st October 2017), he shall be cut off from among his people ("For the wages of sin is death...," Romans 6:23). And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day (from Saturday sunset 30^th September to Sunday sunset 1^st October 2017), the same soul will I destroy from among his people ("For the wages of sin is death...," Romans 6:23). Ye shall do NO manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls [by NOT eating and drinking anything]: in the ninth day (Saturday 30^th September 2017) of the month (MOON) at even (sunset), from even (Saturday sunset 30^th September 2017) unto even (Sunday sunset 1^st October 2017), shall ye celebrate your [annual holy] sabbath [day of atonement fast]," Leviticus 23:26-32.

"Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their Elohim: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to Elohim. Wherefore have we fasted [on the annual holy sabbath day of atonement fast], say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted (withheld all eating and drinking from) our soul [on the annual holy sabbath day of atonement fast], and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the [annual holy sabbath] day of your [atonement] fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours. Behold, ye [observe the annual holy sabbath day of atonement] fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not [observe the annual holy sabbath day of atonement] fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high. Is it such a [annual holy sabbath day of atonement] fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict (withhold all eating and drinking from) his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a [annual holy sabbath day of atonement] fast, and an acceptable day to Yahweh? Is not this the [annual holy sabbath day of atonement] fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of Yahweh shall be thy rereward. Then shalt thou call, and Yahweh shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday: And Yahweh shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. If thou turn away thy foot from the [annual holy] sabbath [day of atonement fast], from doing thy pleasure on my [annual] holy [sabbath] day [of atonement fast]; and call the [annual holy] sabbath [day of atonement fast] a delight, the holy of Yahweh, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Then shalt thou delight thyself in Yahweh; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of Yahweh hath spoken it," Isaiah 58 (Leviticus 25).

"Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the [annual holy sabbath day of atonement] fast was now already past, Paul admonished them," Acts 27:9.

 

Seven Days Feast of Tabernacles and the Eighth Day

"And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day (Friday 6^th October 2017) of this seventh month (MOON) shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days (Thursday sunset 5^th to Thursday sunset 12^th October 2017) unto Yahweh. On the first day (Friday 6^th October 2017) shall be an HOLY convocation: ye shall do NO servile work therein (between Thursday sunset 5^th and Friday sunset 6^th October 2017). Seven days (Friday 6^th to Thursday 12^th October 2017) ye shall offer an offering made by fire (present your bodies a holy and acceptable living sacrifice, in a congregational worship setting) unto Yahweh: on the eighth day (Friday 13^th October 2017) shall be an HOLY convocation (worship service gathering) unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire (present your bodies a holy and acceptable living sacrifice, in a congregational worship setting) unto Yahweh: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no  NO servile work therein (between Thursday sunset 12^th and Friday sunset 13^th October 2017). These are the feasts of Yahweh, which ye shall proclaim to be HOLY convocations (worship service gatherings), to offer an offering made by fire (present your bodies a holy and acceptable living sacrifice, in a congregational worship setting) unto Yahweh, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day: Beside the sabbaths of Yahweh, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto Yahweh. Also in the fifteenth day (Friday 6^th October 2017) of the seventh month (MOON), when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto Yahweh seven days (Thursday sunset 5^th to Thursday sunset 12^th October 2017): on the first day (Thursday sunset 5^th to Friday sunset 6^th October 2017) shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day (Thursday sunset 12^th to Friday sunset 13^th October 2017) shall be a sabbath. And ye shall take you on the first day (Friday 6^th October 2017) the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before Yahweh your Elohim seven days (Thursday sunset 5^th to Thursday sunset 12^th October 2017). And ye shall keep it a feast unto Yahweh seven days (Thursday sunset 5^th to Thursday sunset 12^th October 2017) in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month (MOON). Ye shall dwell in booths seven days (Thursday sunset 5^th to Thursday sunset 12^th October 2017); all that are Israelites born (and by way of repentance and baptism in the name Yahshua for the remission of sins and endowed with the Holy Spirit through the laying on of hands by the Presbytery) shall dwell in booths: That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel (and those who have surrendered to faith, repentance and water baptism in the name Yahshua through His death and shed blood) to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt (representing the lawless world, bondage of sin): I am Yahweh your Elohim,” Leviticus 23:23-43 (John 7).

"Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days (Thursday sunset 5th to Thursday sunset 12th October 2017), after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine: And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates. Seven days (Thursday sunset 5th to Thursday sunset 12th October 2017) shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto Yahweh thy Elohim in the place which Yahweh shall choose: because Yahweh thy Elohim shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice. Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before Yahweh thy Elohim in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread (Wednesday 12th to Tuesday 18th April 2017), and in the feast of weeks (Pentecost - fiftieth day - Sunday 4th June 2017), and in the feast of tabernacles (Friday 6th to Thursday 12th October 2017, not excluding the immediate following seperate annual HOLY sabbath eighth day on Friday 13th October 2017): and they shall not appear before Yahweh empty: Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of Yahweh thy Elohim which he hath given thee," Deuteronomy 16:13-17.

"Thou shalt truly tithe (second ten percent) all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year. And thou shalt eat before Yahweh thy Elohim, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe (second ten percent) of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear Yahweh thy Elohim always. And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which Yahweh thy Elohim shall choose to set his name there, when Yahweh thy Elohim hath blessed thee: Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money (second ten percent) in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which Yahweh thy Elohim shall choose: And thou shalt bestow that money (second ten percent) for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before Yahweh thy Elohim, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household, And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee," Deuteronomy 14:22-27.

“When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not; But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast (festival) that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if Yahweh will. And he sailed from Ephesus,” Acts 18:21.

 

Criteria Finalizing Dates

Indicated annual celebration dates for this year April, June, September and October 2017 will remain as fixed, IF the fields of wild barley in Israel (Isaiah 2:3; Micah 4:2) have been found to be abib/aviv (in the ear, FIRM DOUGH, ZADOKS 86 stage of maturity) in time for the visible appearing of this upcoming new moon carded for a Tuesday sunset 28th March 2017 naked eye sighting from the region of the Americas.

Monday 6^th March 2017 (7^th day of the 12^th moon Adar)

 

Tuesday sunset/evening 28th March 2017 UPDATE

Significant amounts of barley in Israel was found to have arrived to the abib/aviv (early FIRM DOUGH, ZADOKS 86) stage of maturity by a lone searcher on Monday 27th and by a group of searchers on Tuesday 28th March 2017 who are all living in Israel.

This makes for the new moon becoming visible after that a significant amount of barley in Israel has been found to have arrived to the maturing stage of Abib, to be the new moon day start of the abib/aviv first month of the new year.

The new moon of such esteem, as head of the year, did not become visible to my country of the Commonwealth of Dominica in the Caribbean but, thankfully, by our Creator Yah's allowance, was Sacred-Name-sighted from the USA peninsular of Florida falling in the Caribbean basin (by two people) and South Carolina (by three people) in USA. It was also Sacred-Name-sighted from Arizona (by two people) and California (by two people) in USA.
From the same California, USA is confirmation that it was Sacred-Name-sighted from there by another three people.

Other areas in USA from where I've seen reported online that the new moon of Abib was Sacred-Name-sighted are, Tennessee (by four witnesses), Wisconsin (by two witnesses) and Missouri (by three witnesses).
This therefore confirms from Tuesday sunset/evening 28th, when the new moon was seen by a number of eye  witnesses from the region of the Americas, to Wednesday sunset/evening 29th March 2017 to be the biblical correct 24-hour new-moon-of-Abib-first-day of the correct first month of the new year on the heavenly correct calendar of events, as well as the dates presented above for the said annual celebrations in praise, worship, Bible study and thanksgiving to our Creator, in a congregational setting.

Are you faithfully planning on and looking forward to being both physically and spiritually present at the congregational worship activies on all of the above indicated dates, beginning with the weekly holy seventh day Sabbath on Saturdays?
