A New Moon That Was Seen By Unwashed Heathens But Not Seen By The True Believers Causes A Big Issue For Legalists

If you thought the silliness of the "new" moon sightings could not get any sillier then read below.  The "new" moon was actually seen by people outside of the city of Jerusalem where the clouds and rain were not present.  However, the Malmites claim that since their person in Jerusalem did not see it the other "new" moon sighting is not valid.  Only a new moon sighting of a Malmite standing with his feet in Jerusalem makes a new moon valid.  The Chief Pharisee warns the true believers that the people outside of Jerusalem that saw the "new" moon first are deceptive tools of Satan and are deliberately try to deceive the true believers.

A reader of Malm's blog notes:

Gordon sighted the moon near Eilat. See his initial message below. Also confirmed at his Site https://www.facebook.com/NehemiaGordon

Quote: The new moon was first sighted from the Eilat Mountains in southern Israel by Nehemia Gordon at 5:53pm and by Tim Arndt at 6:01pm. The new moon was also sighted from Kiryat Ata [Haifa] in northern Israel by Yoel Halevi at 6:38pm and by Naomi Halevi, Yedidyah Halevi, and Aharon Halevi at 6:46pm. My thanks to the observers in Jerusalem (and other locations) who stood out in the cold, but were unable to sight the moon due to clouds. End Quote

James Malm, the law mongering Chief Pharisee is not happy that his "observers" were usurped in their roles.

The Chief Pharisee responds:

In your link he is trying to deceive by using the term “Jerusalem time” and not mentioning that the location was actually at Eilat. There is no such thing as Jerusalem time. It is Israel Time throughout the entire country. He used that term to try and trick people. Beware of this person and his tricks.

I will make his email available to anyone who wants it.

FYI our COG new moon searchers have reported that: “the sky was completely covered in clouds and in fact raining in many of the environs around Jerusalem.” The new moon was not seen anywhere near Jerusalem. Brian Convery writes “It appears we have seen the same thing [about Nehemiah Gordon]. Yes he is an evil fellow but that is what happens when brethren entertain one who denies Christ. John has warned us about having nothing to do with them. I was just about to sit down and update the festivals page with the new dates.” James

God Was Too Lazy Last Night To Wipe The Clouds Away In Jerusalem

The god of the Malmites was either too lazy or unconcerned that they were standing out in a field in Israel last night waiting to catch a glimpse of the "new" moon.  It was cloudy and because the legalists could not see it, even though it was there, they "new" moon did not happen.  The Malmites god could have taken his hands and pushed away all those clouds, but noooooooooo it did not! 

Soooooooo, they made the determination that the "new" moon actually begins tonight.  That in turn throws off all their other calculations and moves Pentecost around to another day.

It is always important to remember that the law trumps in every case.  The law is their god.

Last evening the light of the new moon was NOT seen in or anywhere near Jerusalem where God has placed his name.  Remember that Almighty God controls the weather and he could have opened the clouds with a wave of his hand.  This is God’s will. Sunset tonight brings the first new moon day of the first Biblical month.  Welcome the New moon with the shofar.  For details on New Moon observance lease see our Calendar Category articles.

The first day of the first month of the new biblical year will be Monday 23 March, beginning at the sunset ending 22 March.  

Passover will be Sunday 5 April, to be observed after sunset ending the Sabbath of 4 April.  

The first Holy Day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread will be on Monday 6 April and the seventh day Holy Day will be Sunday 12 April.  

As previously posted, this will move the Wave Offering and Pentecost forward a week. 

The Wave Offering day will be Sunday 12 April.  The seventh Sabbath after the Wave Offering will be 30 May and Pentecost will be 31 May.
