Abib Found And The Year-Beginning New Moon Has Been Seen!

Thursday evening (after sunset) 30th March 2006 Reporting

New Year Greetings Biblically to each and everyone of you in our Savior Yahshua!

Yes, truely, a new year has begun according as Yahweh has instructed that we begin the year, with the new moon making its appearing at the time of Abib.

In line of the Abib, this reporting to me from Israel today which appears here below this e-mail is evidence that we are indeed in the time of Abib.

But not only that. The new moon which Yahweh has set in order to make its appearing exactly at the time there is barley in Israel is at this time high up in the sky above the western horizon even as I write which I'm just from having seen at 6:20pm this Thursday evening 30th March 2006 from Roseau, Dominica.

Got to run now to acknowledge the beginning of Yahweh's new year this evening by way of a worship service that we Yahweh's New Covenant Assembly here in Dominica have proclaimed for this selfsame ABIB New Moon evening.

Happy New Year and first new moon day of the year To Each and All,

Augustus Paul

Aviv Found!

Aviv has been found in Israel! We found fields of Aviv barley from all three
types of barley that grow in Israel: 2-row wild barley, 2-row domesticated
barley, and 6-row domesticated barley. Some of the locations we found aviv
include:
Marj a-Naja and Argaman (both in the Jordan Valley), Peduyim and Kisufim (in
the Northern Negev), and Mordechai Junction (on the coastal plain). We found
both volunteer barley and planted fields, in more than sufficient
quanitities for the harvest to begin in two week's time during the Feast of
Unleavened Bread. The searches were carried out on Tuesday March 28, 2006
(Jordan Valley) and Thursday March 30, 2006 (Northern Negev and Coastal
Plain). The following people participated in the searches: Nehemia Gordon,
Devorah Gordon, Ferenc Illesy, Avi Ben Mordechai, Dina Marcus, Tim and Deb
Arndt, and Clint Place.

The New Moon which will be visible tonight (Mar 30) will mark the beginning
of the biblical year! Chag HaMatzot (Feast of Unleavened Bread) will begin
on April 13, 2006 at sunset. For more information on the times of the

observers from Jerusalem, first by Lee Ware, Rivkah Alon, and Libby Moor at
18:09 and then by 11 other observers over the next two minutes. The moon
remained visible for many minutes. A photograph of the new moon from
