Monday March 19, 2007 Shalom Brethren, Happy Rosh Chadoshim (beginning of months), the Scriptural calendar cycle has begun once again! The new moon was not visible in northeastern Virginia and in many locations due to weather. Even with the incremental weather there were at least seven reported visible sightings in the US by 10PM EST. This Abib new moon sets in motion the count to Pesach, Matzah, and Shavuot. May Yahweh bless you in the observance of His moedim. Yahshua the Messiah is our example and salvation, he has become Yahweh's Pesach. This time serves as a reminder of our savior's sacrifice, without which, we would not have eternal life.

It was very thin and hard to see due to the haze, but it was visible for at least 15 minutes before fading into the clouds at the tree line. Praise Yahweh for his sign in the sky that another year cycle has begun. (Two Observers) AM Sioux City, IowaShalom yom tov rosh chodesh!

Not even a hint of a break in the clouds. :-( Alex Jay family Cisco, TexasWe had some clouds tonight. Many of us gathered to at Farris & Jo Ann Wilks' house to spot the new moon. Farris first found it with binoculars, but many of us saw it with the naked eye. Among the spotters were, Melissa Henry, Bill Stubbs, Jo Ann Wilks, Kevin Reed, Harold & Jackie Mescher and others I'm probably forgetting. Praise Yahweh! Melissa Henry West-central New MexicoThe new moon of Abib was spotted in west-central New Mexico by two observers this evening at 07:54 PM MDT. We waited until it dropped below a cloud bank that was low in the western sky. DM St. Thomas, Virgin IslandsElder George reporting that the new moon was not seen in the Virgin Islands. It was poor weather but at the same time the conditions for sighting was only a B average and needed optimal weather to have a chance to see it. So tomorrow will be the start of the new year for us. Roseau, DominicaGreetings everyone! Just a short note to report that the new moon marking the beginning of the Bible first month Abib has not been seen here in Dominica this evening Monday 19th March 2007. My search lasted for over an hour and a half beginning from sunset and to no avail. The sky ended up becoming extremely clear enough, just before total darkness set in, to had been able of seeing the new moon if it had become visible here this evening. You might want to keep in touch with www.NewMoonReport.com, www.PaleoTimes.org and www.TruthOfYahweh.org for any information coming out of the U.S. this evening on the Abib first month of the year new moon. If all reports are that the new moon has not become visible anywhere this evening under clear sky conditions, then it will be tomorrow evening Tuesday 20th March 2007 when the Bible first month of the year will CORRECTLY begin, from sunset. I wish each and all a successful year-beginning Abib new moon search, Augustus Paul March 20, 2007 SightingNew Moon of the Aviv Sighted!
