We have erred against YOU in whoring after other gods.
Dear CREATOR……Forgive us for our unrighteousness and REMOVE from us the
mind determined to “add to” and/or “take from” your laws, statutes and
commandments.
Dear LORD…………Give us a circumcised heart made of flesh that we may
learn to feed the hungry, heal the sick, house the homeless, clothe the naked
and love thine judgments.
Dear GOD…………..Our eyes have seen the things prophesied by your prophets
come to pass. We are in the land of our captivity, and we do suffer for it
day and night. None comes to our
rescue.
YIHOVAH…...........Yisrael is counted as the “least” among the nations

Tribute to the New Moon Revised:
The service of this solar/lunar calendar of TORAH READINGS is by definition using the “LIGHTS” of the sun and moon, according to Genesis 1:14, to number the “days” of each month. And the dark phases of the moon cooperatively provide a break between the months. If there were no dark phases of the moon, we would have a tough time determining when one month ended and when another would begin. The Hebrew New Year is, thus, determined by the “LIGHTS” in the Heavens and not by the “sighting of barley.” Please see the “TORAH READINGS CALENDAR” for more information.
***
“For as the new heavens and
the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so
shall your seed and your name remain.
“And it shall come to pass,
that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all
flesh come to worship before me,
saith the LORD.”
Isaiah 66:22,23

MOON WATCH>>>

START THE NEXT NEW MOON WATCH ON THE EVENINGS OF
<<<SEPTEMBER 4,5,6, 2005>>>
BY LOOKING IN THE “WEST” JUST ABOVE THE HORIZON.
“He appointed the moon for seasons…”
Psalm 104:19
The first “Sign” in the Heavens to provide the start of days, years and “seasons” can only begin with the “Sighting” of the New Moon Crescent - that which we can “see” in order for it to serve as a “Sign” and enable us to begin counting our days and months. Just imagine not being able to “see” the moon at all. How then could it be appointed for a “Sign” or for “seasons”?
“The natural thought might be that the moon is like a living being. It is born, grows, reaches maximum size, then fades and dies, going through all these stages in one month. Even today, we still talk of the thin crescent in the western sky as a new moon and the thin crescent in the eastern sky a month later as the old moon. Half way between is the full moon. As I explained earlier, this cycle of phases of the moon established the month as a unit of time, and the first calendars were based on this.” ISAAC ASIMOV’S GUIDE TO EARTH AND SPACE, pages 79 and 80
In that the King of Israel is
supposed to be a “Righteous Judge”
(II Chronicles 1:11), it stands to reason that he is also supposed to be a “Righteous Role Model.” Thus, if the King that GOD appoints over
Israel observes a “feast” on the day of
the New Moon, then wisdom tells the Nation of Israel to do likewise. King
Saul and the anointed David observed this service (I Samuel 20th Chapter).
To their and our hurt our forefathers worshipped all manner of symbols: the sun, moon, stars, and images of gold and silver. To observe the “Sign” in the heavens as being the New Moon “Sighting” is NOT worshipping the moon, but rather it is doing as we are COMMANDED in Genesis 1:14:
“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the
night; and let them be for signs, and
for seasons, and for days, and years:”
Some people feel that the moon has no “light,” but according to GOD’s WORD to HIS Prophets, it most certainly does: Isaiah 13:10; Isaiah 30:26; Jeremiah 31:35; Ezekiel 32:7.
***
“Sing aloud unto God our strength:
make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
“Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the
psaltery.
“Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed,
on our solemn feast day.
“For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.”
Psalm 81:1 - 4
(A Psalm of Asaph, the Seer –
one who should be well informed about GOD’s Ways)
“Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings,
and over the
sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.”
Numbers 10:10
Contrary to the belief of some Israelites, the moon does indeed shine! Whether the Moon shines on its own or with the aid of the sun, IT STILL SHINES! And the fact that Scripture attests to this fact, is what’s important: Isaiah 60:19; Jeremiah 31:35; and Ezekiel 32:7. Therefore, Genesis 1:14 is proof enough that we must use the shining New Moon Crescents as “…SIGNS, AND FOR SEASONS, AND FOR DAYS, AND FOR YEARS:”
Some Israelites, along with White Jews, use the dark phase of the moon to determine the start of a new month. If the dark phase of the moon lasts for “2-3 days,” then which of these days is supposed to be the distinguishing “Sign” that determines the First Day of the month? Or do we just arbitrarily select either/or depending on the imaginations of our hearts?
On the contrary, with the use of the sighted “Sign” of the New Moon Crescent in the Heavens we eliminate any confusion as to which day IS the First Day of the month.
“So David hid himself in the field: and WHEN THE NEW MOON WAS COME, the king sat him down to eat meat.” I Samuel 20:24
At the time of the dark phases of
the moon (generally 2-3 days), as previously written, there is no “moon” in
SIGHT. Therefore, I Samuel 20:24 sheds
more light on Genesis 1:14. “WHEN THE NEW MOON WAS COME,” is clearly
telling readers that this is a reference to a visible “Moon Crescent
Sighting” - the light in the
firmament…i.e., the “Sign” for (lunar) days.
Thus, if we are to count all the lunar days (29.5) in a month, it only
makes sense to start counting from the New Moon Crescent “when the New Moon was
come” and NOT from the dark phases at the end of the month, which do not emit
any “sign” or “light” in the heavens.
The only problem that presents itself when using the “New Moon Sighting” to call the First Day of the month is cloud coverage, as this prevents the ability to see the New Moon Crescent. Nonetheless, when “Sighted,” one can easily distinguish the New Moon Crescent from all the other phases due to its thin sliver and its low position in the heavens. And the reason is that no two days or rather phases of the visible moon are alike. Hence, to use the New Moon Crescent as the “Sign” in the heavens, as we are COMMANDED to do for our seasons, days, and years, negates the belief that the “commandment was given to the luminaries.” The “luminaries” fulfill GOD’s Commandments: the sun shines and the moon orbits the Earth. They have no need to determine seasons, days, and years. Hence, our New Moons are obviously of more spiritual significance to the Nation of Israel than we are aware. And for sure, the TRUTH concerning them are in GOD’s WORD to HIS Prophets/Seers - not the White Jews or other Gentiles. All we need do is use wisdom, discern what’s written in Scripture, accept it, and act accordingly!
“Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch,
“Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.” II Chronicles 8:12,13
Unless there is an emergency, please try not to buy or sell on this day. Conduct all financial and business transactions prior to the day of the New Moon. Interesting enough, II Kings 4:23,24 constitutes the New Moon as being a day to seek “the man of God.” Although the New Moon is NOT a Day of Rest, Our GOD did set it aside for recognition:
“Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.” Psalm 81:3
“And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.” Isaiah 66:23
“…When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn?…” Amos 8:5
Probably, the Scripture that most determines and clarifies the fact that our New Moons are Feast Days is Ezekiel 45:17:
“And it shall be the prince’s part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the NEW MOONS, and in the Sabbaths, in ALL SOLEMNITIES of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the HOUSE OF ISRAEL.” (Caps. are mine.)
Unequivocally, our New Moons are included in these “SOLEMNITIES” mentioned in Ezekiel 45:17.
“Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the Sabbaths [Feasts – NOT 7th Day Sabbaths*] and in the NEW MOONS.” Ezekiel 46:3 (Brackets are mine.)
Thereby, this verse justifies the First Day of each month being our
“Feast” Day. It should be realized
that the Feast Days that Our GOD selected (Leviticus 23rd Chapter) are “Holy
Convocations,” i.e., on these days we cannot do any work. However, because King Saul observed the New
Moon as a Feast Day, we have every reason to do so, as well. We
also have learned that our forefathers traveled to the Temple to worship the
Holy ONE on the New Moon (II Kings 4:23; Ezekiel 45:17; and Ezekiel 46:1), and
when HE has HIS Temple rebuilt, then we will again be able to resume this
service and worship.
When we return to our heritage and worship YIHOVAH according to HIS Ways, then we can establish our own “Calendar of the Universe,” whereby, the days of the New Moon and all GOD’s Holy Days will be recognized by the whole entire World. And I am sure that it will be the desire of the Righteous Remnant and ALL the world to make a Feast to the Most High GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel every First Day of the Month.
ALSO, I believe that if Lot (Genesis 19:3) and Abraham (Genesis 21:8) can proclaim “Feasts,” then there is no stipulation for NOT establishing Feast Days, as we so desire. Therefore, to proclaim a feast to EXALT the Holy ONE of Israel on the First Day of each month is quite acceptable - given the Scripture (above) regarding worshipping Our LORD GOD of ISRAEL, Our SAVIOR, on the New Moons. We should know that throughout the Tanakh Hebrew Israelites called for “feasts” for various occasions. Therefore, we are within our rights to observe a Feast every New Moon to Our GOD, the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel. And those of us who love this WONDERFUL GOD and who choose HIM to EXALT HIM for being the ONLY LORD and SAVIOR can be at liberty to use the day of the New Moon to show forth HIS PRAISE in a “feast” and worship HIM in Jerusalem FOREVER.
“And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and [he] made a feast to all his servants.”
I Kings 3:15
*Leviticus 23:24,39 (Sabbaths of Feasts)
*******
A Tribute to GOD’s “HOLY” Seventh Day Sabbath of Complete REST:
“REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY”
Exodus 20:8
“See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.” Exodus 16:29
“And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the LORD hath commanded, that ye should do them.
“Six days shall work be done, but on the
seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD:
whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.” Exodus
35:1,2
“Six days shall work be done: but the seventh
day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation [“HOLY DAY”]; ye shall do no
work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.” Leviticus
23:3
“Six days may work be done; but in the seventh
is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the
sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. Wherefore the children of Israel
shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations,
for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel
for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh
day he rested, and was refreshed.”
Exodus 31:15 - 17
“And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” Genesis 2:2,3
Significantly, in the beginning when the Holy ONE of Israel established
this Sabbath Day of COMPLETE REST and when HE clearly COMMANDED the Children of
Israel in the Wilderness to observe this Holy Day, HE MADE NO EXCEPTIONS!
If “ALL” GOD’s COMMANDMENTS are sure, then for sure, we must give
credence to Exodus 16:29 and abide in our places on GOD’s HOLY Seventh Day of
Complete REST as we are COMMANDED TO DO!
“He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.” Psalm 111:7
GOD’s Holy Sabbath Day of REST is not only one of HIS Greatest WORKS of
all time, but this Holy Day is an extraordinary “SIGN” between this Most High
GOD, the CREATOR and HIS Chosen People, the Children of Israel!
“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” Genesis 2:1 - 3
“And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, Tomorrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake today, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
“See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.” Exodus 16:23,29
CONCERNING “HOLY CONVOCATION”
The issue stemming from the meaning of “Holy Convocation” written in Leviticus 23rd Chapter is real, and the interpretation is grossly misunderstood. “Holy Convocation” does not mean “To Gather.” And the sin committed by traveling and gathering on the CREATOR’s Holy Sabbath of Complete REST has grave consequences (Exodus 31:12 - 18).
Conclusive evidence that “holy convocation”
DOES NOT mean to assemble is provided in the passage on Passover. In Exodus 12:16 we are told that Passover
is a “holy convocation” but yet, we are Commanded to observe this High Holy Day
with our immediate families and only to join with another family if one’s
members are too few for the lamb (Exodus 12:4). This proves without a doubt that “holy convocation” cannot mean
to assemble, but rather to keep the holy days “HOLY.” Some call attention to the fact that because Israelites were
Commanded to ”…turn in the morning and go into their tents” (Deuteronomy 16:5-7) that this is proof of
an assembly. Those Israelite families
that joined with others are the ones GOD Commanded to return to their tents.
The Holy ONE of Israel DOES NOT contradict HIMSELF! HE would not COMMAND us to “Rest” on the Sabbath Day of Rest and also Command us to “abide ye every man in your place on the seventh day,” and then confuse us by telling us to “assemble” on the “rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD.” This would make absolutely no sense whatsoever. Therefore, if the Holy ONE of Israel said don’t bear a burden on the Sabbath Day of Rest (Jeremiah 17:21,22) and that our asses (used for travel) had to also rest, then for sure we have to “abide in our places…on the seventh day.” Thus, using our cars and paying tolls and public transportation on GOD’s Holy Seventh Day of Rest is absolutely forbidden! And walking to the Temple or to any meeting place was and still is out of the question all because GOD’s Seventh Day is specifically to be kept as a DAY of “COMPLETE REST” - Shabatone (as is written in Hebrew).
The wise, obedient ones understand the great importance of observing this Seventh Day of Rest exactly as GOD Commanded and will not add to or diminish from this Law of the “Blessed,” “Sanctified,” and “Holy” Seventh Day Sabbath.

SOME QUESTIONS TO PONDER:
“And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD
was kindled against Israel. And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of
the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce
anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.” Numbers 25:3,4
Why did the CREATOR GOD of Israel need to see the “heads” of Israelites
hanging up before HIM against the sun?

“Circumcise yourselves to the
LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and
inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none
can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.”
Jeremiah 4:4
What does the Holy ONE mean
when HE says to “circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins
of your heart”?

“Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country,
and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought
forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.” Ezekiel 47:8
What ails the waters that they shall be healed?

“And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them,
and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the

I Kings 19:21
Is there a reason for boiling flesh?

HINTS FOR HARDY, HEALTHY HEBREWS:
big worries after Katrina
Lolita Baldor
Canadian Press
Saturday, September 03, 2005WASHINGTON (AP) - From dehydration to potential outbreaks of infectious diseases, health care threats along the swamped Gulf Coast concerned military officials on Friday as they beefed up medical evacuations.
The more immediate threats to public heath are dehydration, malnutrition
and intestinal problems, said Maj. Gen. Bruce Green, the Air Force's assistant
surgeon general. "If we can get people to where there is food and water
and sanitation, we can avoid most of the diseases," Green said.
Standing water throughout New Orleans could provide a breeding ground for mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus, Green said, and raw sewage seeping through the city could pose the threat of cholera.
Other health experts, including those from the federal Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, have said cholera and typhoid are not high
risks for the area.
The Pentagon, meanwhile, dropped preparations to send a second hospital ship to the Gulf Coast. Military commanders heading up the relief effort determined that navy forces already in the area were adequate to meet the needs of the people there.
It would take the USNS Mercy about two weeks to get to the Gulf Coast from its base in San Diego.
The initial announcement to send the hospital vessel came amid growing criticism that the Bush administration has responded too slowly to the devastating aftermath of hurricane Katrina. President George W. Bush himself conceded Friday that the federal effort so far has been unacceptable.
Medical evacuations were increasing Friday, particularly from the New
Orleans International Airport, where the air force set up a 50-bed hospital
with 130 doctors, surgeons, nurses and other staff.
So far, about 700 patients have been evacuated by air force teams using four C-17 and seven C-130 cargo planes. Many of the patients were from the 11 hospitals in the region, but at least 1,000 patients, including some critically ill, were still waiting to be moved to medical facilities in Houston, Dallas, Atlanta and San Antonio.
Also Friday, Air Force units were working to reopen the severely damaged Keesler Air Force Base in Mississippi. And they were making plans to bring commercial planes into New Orleans International Airport to begin transporting refugees to shelters in Texas.
Meanwhile, service members from across the military were flowing into Louisiana and Mississippi to help meet the growing humanitarian needs of the hundreds of thousand of residents left homeless and hungry.
Three trucks carried water and 150,000 meals for refugees in the New
Orleans Superdome, and military transport planes were sent to fly people from
New Orleans to Lackland Air Force Base in Texas. Altogether, the military is
sending 9.3 million ready-to eat meals for refugees in Louisiana, Mississippi
and Alabama.

REGARDING OTHER MATTERS OF HEALTH AND EXERCISE…
As always, before starting ANY exercise program and/or diet, check with
your doctor and get his approval. This
is all about being safe rather than sorry.
And if you feel you are suffering from depression, do know that there
are medications available for you.
Don’t be embarrassed; this malady goes with the RAT RACE. Therefore, see your doctor, and feel better
fast!
Have you started that “Walking” for weight loss and healthy heart routine, yet? There is no excuse for not going it alone, joining with someone, or even forming a group to take that walk at least five (5) times a week and for 40 minutes minimum. So, stop procrastinating and get started. Walk to the tune of Scripture or your favorite upbeat music. And if you prefer the quiet, walk and meditate with the Most High. Just make sure that you make time for your body and soul. You’ll see and feel the difference after just two weeks, or I’ll eat your sneakers! :)
