Dear Brothers and Sisters in
IAUA
(ee-ah-oo-ah) our Father,
Greetings on this day of preparation for the weekly Sabbath. I pray this newsletter finds you in good health and happy in the service of IAUA. This is the 8th day of the 2nd month of God's Sacred Calendar in the estimated year 6014 Anno Mundi. It is 3 weeks and 6 days until Pentecost Sabbath on the evening of the 6th day of the 3rd month (Thursday, May 20 on the 2010 Gregorian Calendar, beginning sunset on Wednesday, May 19th). This year, those who follow the Millerite Calendar determination will be one month later than my research has determined for the Gregorian Calendar dates for God's Sacred Calendar. The dates on the Jewish Calendar are one day earlier in the spring and one day early in the fall. _____ A news letter reader sent me this email just ten minutes ago. _____ Hi Frank, My wife and I have been reading the books you sent. I had been reading the Sacred Calendar section. It is nice to be able to go online and read it from soft copy. I want to make sure I am understanding how you are determining the new moon. As the moon wanes to the point that it is no longer visible in Jerusalem, the month has biblically ended. A New month officially commences on the following day. Am I understanding your point of view correctly? _____ I replied: Not precisely. The signal of the new moon occurs exactly at alignment with the sun. This event is sometimes clearly indicated with a solar eclipse. This is a spectacular signal. The beginning of the month, as the event being signalled, must come completely after the signal. Events can never come before their signal. Therefore, the first day of the month cannot begin until after the signal. It just so happens the newsletter I am working on this very minute is on this exact subject. Be at peace, Frank T. Clark - When the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth and he will show you things to come. John 16:13 (paraphrased) _____ I have found many people do not have enough of a practical understanding of astronomy to grasp its application to God's Sacred Calendar. This presentation will go a little deeper into explaining some astronomical details than any of my previous descriptions. Refer to the online book for detailed background information: http://www.SacredCalendar.info Many traditional methods of calendar determination rely on imprecise and fanciful methods. God's Law cannot be based on imprecise casual human observation of the skies or even worse, vague determinations from crop cycles influenced by the weather of all things. Our God is greater than these simple human methods. He sets the standard because He anticipates and precedes the precision of modern scientific method. God has specified the astronomical signals of the sun and the moon determine the appointed times and the course of days and years. 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: The rotation of the earth creates the transition to a new day starting at sunset according to the Bible. 19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. As the earth rotates the time is constantly changing in a flow around the planet. The hours and minutes are broken into time zones which are usually an hour apart. This allows people in the same area (time zone) to have the same time and still allow the time to be different around the planet. The civil day changes at midnight for the entire time zone. The sacred day of Sabbath observance changes at sunset which is a different time in different parts of the time zone. This is the first of many differences between civil time according to the Gregorian Calendar and sacred time according to God's Calendar. This simplified diagram helps to visualize the astronomical relationships. We see the rays of the sun are nearly parallel after they travel the great distance from the sun even though the sun is vastly larger than the earth. After I made this diagram, which accurately illustrates the direction of the rotation of the earth relative to the direction of its orbit, I realized I had drawn it from the perspective of the south pole. I could have reversed the diagram but it doesn't really matter.
Remember, the word "day" has at least two different meanings. There is the 24 hour (approximately) cycle of the "day" and the 12 hour (approximately) time of daylight which is also called "day". Because of the flow of time around the world, a specific fixed frame of reference is needed to measure calendar time. The civil calendar uses Greenwich as the frame of reference. The sacred calendar uses Golgotha (Jerusalem). This results in an important distinction you need to understand between the local day and the world day. The local day of sacred observance is from sunset to sunset. The world day first begins at sunset on the opposite side of the planet from Golgotha which is sunrise of the previous day at Golgotha. The world day is the same day of the week for the entire world just before sunset on the opposite side of the planet from Golgotha which is just before sunrise at Golgotha. The importance of this distinction comes in determining the start of the month and other elements of God's Calendar. The new moon is one of the most spectacular signals tracked by the ancients because it is periodically seen as a solar eclipse. The signal of the new moon must occur before the beginning of the world day which is before the sunrise at Golgotha. In the same way the spring equinox is the yearly signal which needs to come before the first yearly Sabbath world day which begins at sunrise on the 14th day of the month. One of the things which validates this method for determining the start of the year is the matching importance of the yearly events. The spring equinox is the yearly signal which is followed by the first yearly Sabbath. There is a new moon twelve or thirteen times a year. Why would this monthly event be used to determine the start of the year? The once a year event of the first Sabbath of Unleavened Bread is the appropriate yearly event to follow the yearly signal. If this little journey into astronomy has fascinated you, there are several places to learn more. http://www.astronomynotes.com/nakedeye/s1.htm http://astrosun2.astro.cornell.edu/academics/courses/astro201/question2201.htm This newsletter comes from a newly developed web page which will be revised and expanded as need indicates. http://www.SacredCalendar.info/Astronomy.html Is your love for God so deep it will lead you to desire to understand everything He directs for us? I pray we may all continue to seek love, peace, and unity in truth preparing for the soon coming of IAUShUO (ee-ah-oo-shoo-oh) Messiah, the Son of God.
