Thursday 3rd/11/05 after sunset
Greetings to everyone of you and your household!
It is indeed a tremendous blessing when those who have accepted that high calling in our Savior Yahshua can make
it a point of duty to keep spiritually focus on heavenly things one of which is to look for the new moon every 29/30 days
in obedience to our Creator's command to assure of the beginning of each of His months as He've designated and as such,
I began a search for the new moon yesterday Wednesday sunset 2nd/11/05 being the 29th day but only
saw an extremely clear sky.
I again positioned myself as this 30th day (of the moon) was about ending for a next search from
just before sunset this Thursday 3rd/11/05 and saw the sun touching down on the horizon at 5:33 p.m. and
disappearing altogether below the horizon from my eyes in only two (2) minutes later at exactly 5:35 p.m.
The sky is even much clearer this evening than last evening.
Then in only three (3) minutes after the sun disappeared below the horizon from my eyes this Thursday evening
3rd/11/05, I was able of sighting the new moon at 5:38 p.m. from Roseau, Dominica.
Tomorrow Friday 4th/11/05 therefore is new moon day, day one of the Bible 9th month.
I have noticed that the tilted position of the new moon has been the same on these three (3) consecutive occasions
from the 7th up until this 9th new moon. Have you noticed that?
It looks like in 29 days time that the next new moon search, for the 10th new moon Tebeth, should begin Friday
sunset 2nd/12/05.
I understand that number 9, in Bible language, signifies finality of judgement.
A pleasant and joyous 9th new moon day to everyone,

Greetings brethren,
The ninth new moon was visible
in many locations including Jerusalem, Israel. Here in Blue Springs, Missouri even with cloud cover the moon was visible through
the haze with the naked eye. The new moon was first seen here at 5:31PM and was visible for about 5 minutes before it set
below the clouds. Thank you for your reports and I will continue to add them online for all the brethren to share.
Yahweh
bless,
James A. Meyer
