Shabbat shalom, Nazarene Israelites.

1. PRAISE REPORTS, PRAYER REQUESTS, UPDATES: 7 February 5785 (2025)

a. Prayer request

Please continue praying for the unification of all Ephraim as the Stick of Joseph, upon the written Torah of Moshe and the Faith delivered once and for all to the saints. That we may come together as an ordered nation in obedience to Yahweh Elohim, and be found worthy to survive the coming days.

Jude 1:3-8
3  Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. 
4  For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, un[righteous] men, who turn the grace of our Elohim into lewdness and deny the only Yahweh Elohim and our Master Yeshua HaMashiach. 
5  But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that Yahweh, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. 
6  And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; 
7  as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. 
8  Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak evil of dignitaries.

3. SABBATHS, NEW MOONS, AND CALENDAR EVENTS:

a. Feasts of Yahweh:

11 March 2024 was Rosh HaShanah (the beginning of the Hebrew year). The new moon of the 7th Hebrew month was seen from Israel on the evening of 4 September 2024. Yahweh’s feasts are officially over for the year. For more information about the Torah Calendar and news calendar updates, please visit Torah Calendar News.

b. Next new moon (expected): 1 March 2025 (evening)

The new moon of the 12th Hebrew month was seen on 30 January 2025. The next new moon is expected to be seen from Israel on 1 March 2025. Confirmation will be made upon reports from Israel (or the 30-day default count). Please stay attentive to Torah Calendar News for updates concerning new moons, barley reports, Rosh HaShanah confirmation, and feasts for the coming Hebrew year.

Note: 11 March 2024 was the confirmed declaration of Rosh HaShanah (the beginning of the Hebrew year). For more details, please visit Torah Calendar News.

c. Upcoming Discipleship Meetings: 

All meetings are at 8 AM Colombian time (always UTC-5, but watch your Daylight Savings Time adjustments). The Discipleship Meeting is a discussion between disciples. It is generally 1-hour long but may run longer depending on how the Spirit leads. For more on NI’s description of discipleship, please see NI’s Discipleship program.

2 March 2025- new moon discipleship meeting (expected)

Note: If the monthly Discipleship Meeting coincides with the weekly Shabbat Meeting, the Shabbat Meeting will take precedence, and new moon discussion will be combined with the Shabbat meeting. However, in the case of a Feast Day Meeting coinciding with a Shabbat meeting, the Feast Day Meeting will take precedence.

d. Why the Firstfruits Torah Calendar?

Every year we receive questions about the Firstfruits Torah calendar and why it differs from Karaite, Jewish, and Messianic, and Equinox calendars. The different calendars that exist can (and do) cause a lot of confusion. But if we follow Scripture without adding or taking away from Yahweh’s word, we see that there are significant errors in the Karaite, Jewish, Messianic, and Equinox calendars.

We explain these errors in the following studies, as well as why it is important to follow the true Firstfruits Torah calendar in order to observe Yahweh’s feasts at His appointed times only.

Note: Some published studies may include dates for Babylonian calendars (5785/2025). It should be noted that neither the Hillel II Jewish calendar, nor the Roman-Greco calendar are the biblical Torah calendar of Yahweh, and that NI only updates these years for publishing and relational purposes. While the Babylonian years change accordingly, NI keeps the biblical Rosh HaShanah (new year) according to the Torah Calendar.
