The idea that the sliver moon must be sighted because you cant know when the dark moon is in conjunction is ridiculous. The Hebrews were astronomers as miuch as the Chaldeans and Babylonians. The knew when a new moon would occur: 1 sam 20:as surely as the LORD lives, it is safe for you and there is no danger.
22 But if I say to the young man, ‘Look, the arrows are beyond you,’ then you must go, for the LORD has sent you away.
23 And as for the matter you and I have discussed, the LORD is a witness between you and me forever.”
24 So David hid in the field, and when the New Moon had come, the king sat down to eat.
There is no question of when will the new moon happen. They had it calculated ahead of time. The merchants that David condemned for waiting outside the city gates until the new moon was over were simply ignorant when they asked when the new moon would be over. They were drowning in their greed too much to heed the aatronomers of the day and simply did not care that they were not supposed to conduct business.
I have had a lot of superficial "evidence" for sighting the sliver moon shown to me recently. I am not moved. I may not be presenting my evidence well, or I may be speaking to those with set hearts. Either way, we must agree to disagree so we can enjoy discussions on other subjects as well.
Thank you all for engaging me in the conversation. I hope you all are having a blessed shabbat and resting from all your toils. Shalom.
From then on Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar.”
John 19:12
Pilate was on a sort of probation with Caesar because he had repeatedly antagonized the Jews into rebellion. In saying, "You are not Caesar's friend", they were threatening his relationship with Caesar and therefore his position as governor.
Good morning!
This was our low last night. -1.7 F
I'm enjoying the sunshine through my window on this precious gift of YHVH's Shabbat morning.
The cold's inconvenient, but doable. It's part of life. Having critters to care for out in the cold does make it more work. Their lives are precious, too, & in my care.
This cold reminds me of another cold that is even more unpleasant & more dangerous. The coldness of the heart.
I find it increasingly harder to not be impacted by the horrors & pain I see in the world, the death & destruction. I used to be able to dissociate myself from it, not to the point of not caring, but to the point of it not impacting me so much. But not any more.
I'm reminded:
This is NOT our final Home.
The world to come's SO much better.
There's still work to do in this life to help others find shalom in YHVH so they, too, can be in that beautiful eternity.
Do you know Yeshua/Jesus?
Seek Him with all you are!
He's the way to Abba/Father.
Shalom shalom
If God gives us free will to choose our course in life, why do our outcomes seem predetermined? Maybe it's not that the outcomes are predetermined, but that the snares of a fallen world make it so difficult to stay on the path of life once we have made that choice.
