Rosh Hashanah & Yahweh’s Feasts
2024/5784-5785
In Yeshua’s time, Rosh HaShanah was declared when the first crescent sliver of the new moon was seen from the land of Israel (by natural eye), and the first full omer of aviv barley firstfruits (symbolic of Yeshua) would be ready 15-21 days later.
Then, six months later, the feast dates for the seventh month are finalized based on the sighting of the new moon of the 7th month.
Yahweh’s feasts are completed for 2024. Please watch for important monthly updates and for news for next Rosh HaShanah (the beginning of the next new year), according to the written Torah.
“Next year, in Yahweh’s timing.”
