Shalom!
Devorah Gordon reporting from Jerusalem had this to say: A couple in Tiberias sighted the new moon, but none sighted it from Jerusalem tonight.
According to the ancient paths, i.e. Jeremiah 6:16, the official beginning of the new month of Kislev will be tomorrow night at sunset, November 26, 2022.
Today is the 29th day of the month of Heshvan, beginning the 30th day. Hebrew months are either 29 or 30 days depending on the sighting of the new moon, as in “SIGHTING” with the eyes, without help from a telescope. Ancient paths are ancient.
Here are some scriptures that Deborah listed today:
How should Rosh Chodesh be celebrated?
Rosh Chodesh is a celebratory day (Num 10:10; Hosea 2:13), which is traditionally commemorated by blowing the shofar (Num 10:10; Psalm 81:4[3]), having a festive meal (1 Samuel 20:5,24), and worshiping at the Beit HaMikdash (Temple) (Isaiah 66:23; Ezekiel 46:3) with a special sacrifice (Num 28:11-15; 2Chronicles 2:3; Ezra 3:4-5, Ezekiel 45:17, Ezekiel 46:6).
So, if you have a shofar, wherever you are at sunset tomorrow night, blow it and proclaim the beginning of the month of Kislev.
Haggai 2 gives us a clue about the “Seed” in the storehouse, and from a particular day in Kislev all would be blessed. Count the gestation of a human baby in the womb from Hanukkah 04 BCE, and you come out at the week of Yom Teruah, September 11, 03 BCE – the date of the birth of Yahushua.
To understand His birth, and the timing of the arrival of the Parthian Kings from the East in 02 BCE, read the article “Yahushua’s Birthday…” It is amazingly accurate and answers so many questions. It is taken from Ernest Martin’s The Star That Astonished the World. The article is 13.0 under the Mikvah of Eternal Salvation. It has charts also to go along with the astronomy, as the Magi followed the “star” to Bethlehem.
Blessings, in His love, Yedidah
