Bible 5th Month Begins With Thursday 27th July 2006

New Moon Greetings each and everyone in our Savior Yahshua!
 
Just the type of new moon news I don't enjoy sharing is exactly what I'm faced with having to do this evening and that is, that it was not possible of sighting this (Wednesday 26th July 2006) evening's new moon beginning the Bible 5th month due to skies being heavily overcast from late this afternoon.
Rain began falling and the atmosphere all of a sudden began looking tempestuos and thunder is even rolling as I write.
All I have and can share with you with regards to the sighting of the new moon this evening is a new moon confirmed sighting that has been communicated to me today from Jerusalem, Israel. It accompanies this posting.
 
The Bible 5th month therefore begins with Thursday 27th July 2006! The 29th day of this Bible 5th month will be Thursday 24th August 2006 when the search for the visibility of the next new moon is expected to begin as soon as sun sets to begin the Bible 6th month Elul (Nehemiah 6:15) with Friday 25th August 2006 if the new moon does not become visible a day later than expected.
 
Shalom and a joyous new moon in Yahweh's grace to all. May our lifestyle be the type that will invoke more and more of Yahweh's grace in our direction.
