For those Articles that are about the Biblical Hebrew Calendar start to read the following in this order. (1) The Mark of the Beast Which explains how to Identify the Mark from Scriptures. A very controversial and disturbing read. Make sure you read to the end, especially if you think you are already keeping the Holy Days. (2) The Return of Yahshua This article explains why you will not know when He is to return based on the Feast of Trumpets and how to determine it. (3) The Sign of Jonah which will show you how to count to three. (4) Pentecost Hidden Meaning shows the meaning of the two wave sheaf offerings and the necessity to have Barley at the beginning of the year. (5) Conjunction or Sighted Which? is an insightful article showing how the scriptures show which Moon is to be used to determine the beginning of the month. (6) The Glory of Yahweh and the Glory of Kings shows how Yahweh has hidden things and Kings are to search out those truths contained in the scriptures. It is also the conclusion of all the evidence concerning the calendar and asks you to decide how it should be determine. You are asked to judge, based on the evidence shown you in these articles, because you have the potential to be a King in the Kingdom of Yahweh. (7) Admissions of the Calculated Rabbinical Calendar is an article using the Jewish Ecylopedia and COG Quotes showing that the Churches of God do know and have admitted to knowing that the Hebrew Calendar they now adhere to, was and is in error. Well you obey Yahweh or will you continue to follow the traditions of men?

Those articles covering this important subject are covered under the following Headlines. (1) The Biblical Calendar is needed to be understood before you can go on to understand the Jubilee message as so much about the Jubilee comes from understanding the deep meaning of each of the Holy Days laid out in Leviticus 23. So I recommend this as a basic first read. (2) I also know many of you will skip step one, and if you do you need to read at least the following. Pentecost Hidden Meaning which explains the counting to 50 for Pentecost. A yearly reminder of the Jubilee year.(3) Having read the preceding proceed on to read The Eighth Day, which explains why the Eighth day of the Feast oF Tabernacles is important, the day Yahweh comes to this earth. This understanding is needed to be able to understand the timing of Prophecy that the Jubilee explains. (4) The Land Sabbath- A commandment for Today is an article by Hope Of Israel Ministries which explains why we need to keep the laws of the Land Rest years and the Jubilee in our age. They are not done away. (5) The article I am currently rewritting. Times Up! No More Excuses. It should soon be ready but is not now. I have now posted it on the site and will edit it as time permits. I beleive it to be so important that it can not wait any longer. It will explain when the Jubilee is and the importance of understanding it’s meaning. By Understanding this you then can understand prophecy in a much clearer light, and not be blown around by the many interpretations that are out there. Understanding the calendar and all the articles aforementioned is needed if you are to understand this. Skipping to the end will not help the serious student to understand. We are living in the last days. You do need to know what Yahweh is going to do next and how long it will last. Times Up! No More Excuses explains this in a convincing manner. (6) The Sign The Seal and The Secret is a very deep understanding of the Jubilee message and conclussion of Yahweh’s Plan. I myself have argued against it in the past passionately. It is only after much prayer and study that I have come to understand this controversial subject. Graig Peters does a good job of explaining it.

In this categorie will be those articles that are from or for the heart. To help each of us be more than we are.

Living with an Uncoverted Mate is my personal experence of living with and loving a spouse who does not and cannot see those spiritual things that those who are called can see.

Pay It Forward is an article on How and Why we should be generous. It is the result of a conversation I had with someone at the Feast.

How Will You Be Remembered? is an article about the death of My Nan, and comparing it to the death of our dog at the same time.

Shall We Dance? is an article about my Feast Experience this year of 2006. It deals with the Pride we all harbour.

Blessed is the Peace Maker is an article concerning the Beatitudes ( beautiful Attitudes). It is not what we have been taught.

In addition to the Aviv barley previously reported on Friday, we found a planted field of domesticated 6-row Aviv barley in the Jordan Valley just south of Nakhal Milkha. The field also contained small quantities of 2-row domesticated Aviv barley intermixed with the 6-row. The other Aviv barley found earlier in the Jordan Valley and northern Negev was spontaneous 2-row barley.

Photographs of the Aviv barley found at Nakhal Milkha are also posted at:

Observers in the Land of Israel have spotted significant quantities of Aviv barley in the Land of Israel, thus clearing the way for the the New Hebrew Year to begin with the declaration of the next Hebrew month.

The next new moon is not expected to be visible from the Land of Israel until the fourth day of next week (W-dnesday), 3/17, when it is supposed to have 97 minutes of lagtime (or ‘hang time’), and 3.22% illumination. While that should be enough to make a positive sighting (assuming there are no clouds), it should not be visible the day prior. Further, since 3/17 is the evening ending the 30th day of the previous month, the New Moon Day will be declared whether there are clouds or not (as a month cannot be longer than 30 days).

At this time (pending final confirmations and the final sighting of the New Moon of the Seventh Month), the Feast Days are expected to be:

Spring Feast Days:

Rosh HaShanah: Evening of 3/17 thru evening of 3/18

Passover: Afternoon of 3/31 (All leaven removed from houses)

First Day of Unleavened: Evening of 3/31 thru evening ending 4/1 (No work)

Wave Sheaf: Afternoon of 4/4 (begins Omer Count to Pentecost)

Last Day of Unleavened: Evening of 4/6 thru evening ending 4/7 (No work)

Pentecost: 5/23 (always the first day of the week)

Approximate Fall Feast Days (pending final sighting of the New Moon of Seventh Month):

Yom Teruah/Trumpets: Evening of 9/10 thru evening of 9/11 (Blow the Shofar)

Yom Kippur/Atonement: Evening of 9/19 thru evening of 9/20 (No work, no food, no water)

1 Sukkot (Tabernacles): Evening of 9/24 thru evening of 9/25 (No work)

8 Sukkot/Shemini Atzeret: Evening of 10/1 thru evening of 10/2 (no work)
