Possibly @Nick Liebenberg ...i was having a conversation with someone about aviv barley and virgo rising in the spring and setting in the fall. I was wondering if there is any one with insight as to how we can know when the barley is ripe enough for a wave sheaf offering. If we didnt have technology/Internet, how would we know when to start the omer count? Barley doesnt ripen til june here, far too late to go by. If we are unable to communicate with witnesses in Israel, what would we do? Assuming its ripe the first day of the week after passover doesnt seem right. This is the last piece of my calendar puzzle!

As we are living in the diaspora as punishment until Father brings us back, we should look at Israel for our timings.
The earlier period when there was no internet nor timely communication should be compared to when the nation was taken in exile. They forgot the Law and when they finally found a copy of the Law and it was read to them, they broke down crying as they saw their errors.
This becomes even more evident when living in the southern hemisphere where the seasons are 6 months different. Are they now to celebrate Passover 6 months earlier or later if they are looking at their local barley or should they be wanting to follow the instruction and look at Jerusalem?
In the northern hemisphere it is so easy to say that we are just a day or two different with the local New Moon sighting so we will follow our local sighting or the barley is just a few weeks different, etc. instead of following the given instructions.
We can count ourselves fortunate that closer to the end, we do have the internet so can better follow the instructions in readiness for Yeshua's return....
