Wednesday, August 27, 2003 Greetings Brethren, I pray that all is well with your families in these times of trial. May Yahweh bless you through Messiah Yahshua. New MoonTomorrow evening at sunset the new moon that announces the beginning of the sixth month should be visible in most areas depending on the clearness of the sky. Please send your reports of sighting to New Moon. Feast's of the Seventh MonthThere is only one more new moon until the observance of the Memorial of Trumpets, the first day of Ethanim. On the tenth of Ethanim we observe the day of Atonement. The fifteenth day through the twenty-first day of Ethanim is the observance of the Feast of Tabernacles. The Last Great Day is the twenty-second of Ethanim. To make arrangements for the observance of the Feast of Tabernacles and the Last Great Day we would like to respectfully offer a list of feast sites around the country. Feast Guide If you have a feast site you would like to recommend please submit the feast site submission form. Feast Site Submission Form ScripturesOver the last month there have been a large number of updates to the Scriptures online. The most important changes recommended by brother Tom of Eliyah.com was the restoration of the Sacred Name in many places changed in the Massoretic text. There are almost 134 places through out the scriptures that Yahweh was substituted with Adonay. These verses are important because they bring out the fact that Yahweh's people call on Him by name. Psalm 110 verse 5 is an example that you can compare with your version of the Scriptures. Psalms 110:5 Yahweh at thy right hand Will strike through kings in the day of his wrath. In addition to the restoration of the Sacred Name in the Old Testament, Brother Mike Banak provided guidelines for the restoration of Yahweh in the New Testament as presented a few weeks ago. Elder Bitterman has been helping in verification of the places found through Brother Banak's guidelines. Elder Bitterman's review of the Hebrew New Testament and the Aramaic are proving to be very valuable. This is going to be a long process and I thank Yahweh for all the help received on the correction and proofing of the scriptures. If you would like to help, sometime next month Yahweh willing I will have a site available for the download of PDF version of the Scriptures. Until then please continue to read the online version and submit your comments and questions. PrayerPlease keep the following brethren and sisters in your prayers.
