5th
Chodesh
Elohim's ways are not man's ways. We invite you to celebrate this New Year Elohim's way. Join us and return to the ancient paths.
Thus says יְהוָה : “Stand in the roads and look. Ask for the ancient paths— where the good way is—and walk in it. Then you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We won’t walk in it.’

In order to keep up with the posting of the timing of the chodeshim I might not be able to include each star that appears in the evening before the first day. The thought occurred to me that we might consider the Lord's prayer for a moment.
May your Kingdom come, your will be done on earth as in heaven.
​
But there is another verse that does not come to mind as often.
​
Matthew 18:18
Yes! I tell you people that whatever you prohibit on earth will be prohibited in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.
​
If we take this to heart it might mean that if certain men have fallen from the straight and narrow path, so might the same be true for the stars in heaven. Afterall, YHVH Elohim said to Moshe that "so shall your seed shall be" like the stars. We also have Joseph's dream where he likened his 11 brothers to the stars.
​
That said, then there might not be stars that can be found in certain chodeshim. But there is always a remnant preserved on earth, perhaps suggesting in the heavens as well. For now, the sun appears to be holding its course although not precisely on the meridian at 0h00m00s, but very close. We will have more to share as we approach the 6th and 7th chodeshim.
