Bible 6th Month Begins With Saturday (Sabbath) 26th August 2006

Thursday evening 24th August 2004 Reporting
 
Greetings everyone!
 
I trust that all is being well with you and yours in all facets of life, especially in the Spirit.
 
As the lunar 29th day ended here in Dominica over an hour ago when the sun set at 6:24pm ECT (-4 GMT/UTC), I began a search for the new moon which lasted for about 45 minutes but could not have seen whether the new moon became visible or not as the sky was being totally overcasted.
 
The weather changed all of a sudden earlier this afternoon as periodical showers of rain began diseminating on the capitol down to even as I write, leaving the area of sky over the western horizon altogether overcast throughout this evening.
 
I wish each and everyone a successful new moon search and that you will notify if the new moon has become visible in your locality this Thursday evening 24th August 2006, beginning the Bible 6th month Elul (Nehemiah 6:15).
 
Happy new moon first day of the Bible 6th month Elul ending tomorrow Friday sunset 25th August 2006, IF the new moon does become visible this Thursday evening 24th August 2006.
 
Also, may the first weekly Sabbath in the Bible 6th month this week be one of great joy to everyone bearing in mind that the Feast of Tabernacles is now approximately only SIX weeks away!

Friday (Sabbath) evening 25th August 2006 Reporting
 
Greetings each and everyone!
 
Thanks to those of you who took the time out to reply to my e-mail I sent out last evening after the sunset-end of the lunar 29th day of the Bible 5th month. Those who didn't reply I know, are nevertheless taking note of each and every e-mail I send out.
 
I am safely assured and can confirm that the new moon was not visible last evening based on report(s) received and reliable new moon websites.
 
Being any new moon is allowed by our Creator to carry no more than 30 days maximum, and the new moon was not visible from anywhere last evening after the lunar 29th day, we can safely conclude that the Bible 5th month carried 30 days ending with today Friday sunset 25th August 2006.
This means that, even if the new moon can by no means be seen after the lunar 30th day this same Friday (Sabbath) evening 25th August 2006 all due to overcast sky, the new moon beginning the Bible 6th month Elul (Nehemiah 6:15) is out nonetheless and visible to localities where the sky is not being overcast.
 
I come to you this weekly Sabbath evening after the lunar 30th day with the same sort of new moon reporting as last evening after the lunar 29th day which is that, the sky is totally overcast as it was last evening, with extremely dark clouds, hindering any possibility of sighting the shining silver crescent new moon.
 
But I do have confirmation from the City of the Great King that the new moon was sighted from there this evening by a number of persons.
It appears with this posting for your benefit and that of others.
 
May this day be one of double joy being the monthly new moon feast day of the Bible 6th month occured on the weekly Sabbath feast day.
 
Pleasant weekly Sabbath and 6th new moon day to ALL!!!
