Greetings everyone!
Just a short note to report that the new moon marking the beginning of the Bible first month Abib has not been
seen here in Dominica this evening Monday 19th March 2007.
My search lasted for over an hour and a half beginning from sunset and to no avail.
The sky ended up becoming extremely clear enough, just before total darkness set in, to had been able of seeing
the new moon if it had become visible here this evening.
If all reports are that the new moon has not become visible anywhere this evening under clear sky conditions,
then it will be tomorrow evening Tuesday 20th March 2007 when the Bible first month of the year will CORRECTLY begin,
from sunset.
I wish each and all a successful year-beginning Abib new moon search,

Brethren,
Lift up the trumpet! An early report said that six individuals from Sterling, Ill, have reported seeing the Abib new moon this evening, March 19. The Abib barley has
already been confirmed in Israel as well.
Skies are completely overcast here in Missouri
and most points south. But Yahweh has revealed His calendar, and so Passover will begin the evening of April 1, with the Days
of Unleavened Bread to follow April 3-9.
HalleluYah.
May each of us be prepared spiritually for this special Moedim.
In Yahshua,

Shalom Brethren,
Happy Rosh Chadoshim (beginning of months), the Scriptural calendar cycle has begun once
again! The new moon was not visible in northeastern Virginia and in many locations due to weather. Even with the
incremental weather there were at least seven reported visible sightings in the US by 10PM EST. This Abib new moon sets
in motion the count to Pesach, Matzah, and Shavuot. May Yahweh bless you in the observance of His moedim. Yahshua
the Messiah is our example and salvation, he has become Yahweh's Pesach. This time services as a reminder of our savior's
sacrifice, without which, we would not have eternal life.
Yahweh Bless,

Shalom Augustus Paul,
Just wanted to let you know the 1st New Moon of the Biblical year has been confirmed here in the United States.
We have several reliable reported sightings posted on our website.
We also own www.newmoonreport.com but since we are changing servers (with the launch of YAIY) it might be best to steer everyone to the .org site.
Praise Yahweh for your efforts and may He bless you.
Bible New Year (5768) Begins With Wednesday 21st March 2007 In the East:
Johannesburg, South Africa
Greetings from South Africa, to
all the dear brethren in Messiah,May you all have a blessed year!
The new moon was clearly sighted this evening, Tuesday 20th March, very low in the north western sky over
Johannesburg at 18:30 hours. Witnessed by the Gets
family (Lionel & Sandra).
We also had very reliable reports this evening from two other families in the northern area of the country,
and one family from the Cape district, in the South.
There was no sighting made last night, although reports from far western countries came through to us in the
late hours of this morning, therefore, we in this part of the world will be taking it that this evening is the first of Abib.
Passover, the 14th day, will start Monday the 2nd April, in the evening, at sunset. Tuesday the 3rd
April being the 14th day.
The Feast of Unleavened bread will be from Wednesday 4th April, beginning on
Tuesday evening, and
ending Tuesday the 10th April at sunset. Taking note that the First, and Last days of Unleavened bread are High Days, and
to be observed as Sabbaths.
Yahweh bless and guide us all in the unity of His Spirit, in Yahshua's Saving Name.

observers from the same location. The moon remained visible for an extended period of time. The moon was not visible
from Israel on Monday March 19, 2007. With 0.49% illumination and 34 minutes lagtime visibility was impossible even under
ideal weather conditions. Photos of the New Moon of the Aviv as seen from Jerusalem on Tue Mar 20, 2007 are posted

Explaining Why Passover Is Now on Sunday Evening 1st April in the West/Americas, An
Evening Earlier Than Had Been Previously Carded
Greetings dear Elder Locksley Joseph!
I trust that all is being well with you, your family and the spiritual household
that you lead there in Trinidad.
Concerning Elder Alan's ( www.YRM.org) mail that Passover will be celebrated
on April 01st of this year on which you requested my explanation, as I'd told you via text message last night in an mini explanatory reply,
he is correct. This is because the new moon was confirmed from numerous locations in the U.S. continent by quite
a number of reliable Sacred Name observers there on this past Monday evening 19th March 2007 which made Tuesday daylight
20th the new moon day and the very first day of the lunar Abib first month of the Bible new year.
This past Monday evening the 19th therefore is the very first evening and evening-one of this Abib first month.
Counting fourteen evenings, beginning the count from this past Monday evening the 19th, surely
puts us to Sunday evening (from sunset) 1st April as being the fourteenth evening for the observance of our
Savior's Passover death. This is one evening
earlier than the YAIY's ( www.YAIY.org) stated calendar expectation that Passover
would have occured on Monday evening (after sunset) 2nd April if last night Tuesday 20th was when Yahweh had made the
new moon crescent first showing of His Abib moon.
One prominent U.S. Sacred Name website ( www.YahwehsTruth.net) I looked up this afternoon is reporting of having received confirmation from Haiti here in our Caribbean region on this same past Monday evening the 19th that over
20 people there sighted the Abib new moon crescent. If we are to acknowledge that reported confirmation, then it can most
certainly be confirmed that this past Monday evening the 19th sighting of this Abib new moon crescent was not only
from the U.S. continent but also from right here in our Caribbean Community (CARICOM) as well.
Monday daylight 2nd April being Passover day daylight, the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, a High Day Sabbath, will begin
from sunset, making the next morning of Tuesday daylight 3rd, the continuation of that Sabbath first day of this upcoming
7-day feast and the last day on Monday 9th, another High Day Sabbath, beginning from Sunday sunset 8th April.
YAIY since has had to reverse their previously predicted dates as it is not until that
Yahweh has shown us His crescent Abib new moon that on what Roman calendar dates we observe His Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread in His Abib lunar first
month of the year can be finalised.
Shalom and Yahweh blessed new year to all,
Augustus Paul
