Tuesday evening 4th October 2005
Roseau, Dominica
Greetings everyone once more in the name of our Savior Yahshua. Thank you those of you who replied to my e-mail
of last evening.
Tomorrow Wednesday 5th October 2005 is new moon day and the celebration of Ramadan as of this evening in
the Muslim world according to their published statement on their website. It is the beginning of the 9th
month to them but of the 8th month Bul for us who uphold the calendar in the Bible, IF the new moon is visible this evening.
No new moon in the Bible is a commanded fast. It is a time of feasting.
Reports coming in from Israel so far have stated that the new moon was able of being seen there this Tuesday evening
4th (Israel's time zone is 6 hours ahead of us here in the Eastern Caribbean or 4 GMT +2) only by way of using binoculars.
They are waiting whether if there'll be any incoming reports of naked eye sightings from within their own Israeli
borders.
There was a soft showering of rain and some peels of thunder here in Roseau, Dominica this afternoon, leaving the sky
over the western horizon extremely overcast and it is still that way up to time of writing. I just could NOT have
seen whether or not that the new moon was out this evening. Imagine, NOT even the sun could have been seen as it was
setting. The sun itself was hidden from our eyes for the rest of this afternoon.
Considering therefore the magnitude of the overcast conditions, I eventually had to end my search for the new
moon this evening when it was 50 minutes after sunset, departing from near the mouth of the Queen's River on the
New Roseau Market compound where I was standing in search of it.
It is only on your confirmation therefore that I can depend now to ascertain whether or not that the Bible
8th month Bul has begun as of this Tuesday evening 4th October 2005 if you have been graced with a weather condition
in your locality that so permits.
May the joy of this year's Feast of Tabernacles permiate within our hearts until the next one as we seek to keep our
all primarily focust on things above and not on things of this earth.
What a joyous Feast of Tabernacles we here in Dominica have had on the island of Trinidad with our beloved and encouraging
brethren there this year 2005. We shall be back there again, Yahweh's willing, next year 2006 for a second consecutive time.
Financial constraints did not hinder us from reaching there this year, nor will that hinder us in the next year seeing we
even have more time to prepare knowing even before we left Trinidad that we'll be returning there immediately next year for
that feast. It is so regrettable to many us that we aren't still with the brethren there in Trinidad even at this
moment as I write. I really enjoyed the feast there with them without the willingness to had return to my homeland.
Shalom in our Savior, Redeemer and King Yahshua!

So far no one who has reported in has seen the moon from Israel with
the naked eye on Tuesday

Eilat (Mt. Hizkiyahu) through binoculars by Magdi Shamuel and two
others;
the moon was first sighted by Magdi at 18:46 and remained
visible through binoculars for 5 minutes. The moon was NOT sighted
with the naked eye. We are still awaiting further reports from Israel.
More information will be sent as it becomes
available.
