AVIB FOUND!
Some subscribers to this list were disturbed by my recent posting entitled "Thoughts on Purim" and its mentioning that we are to watch and pray regarding all matters involving Yahweh's timing - and particularly the moedim (appointed times).
In that message I said that Purim (though not a moed/appointed time) occurs on the 12th month at 14th and 15th of that 12th month as per the book of Esther. We also said that because one cannot be sure whether or not barley will be in Avib (a green ripened condition) until just shortly after 14th and 15th of the 12th month, it seemed presumptious not to celebrate Purim in the twelth month and we should not assume that there will be a need to declare a second 12th month as sometimes happens. Yahshua said we should watch and pray and that we should not be caught unaware, for his return will catch offguard many much as a "thief in the night" catches offguard those who are not attentive to the scriptural injunction to "watch and pray".
Well, it turns out that today, 3-8-05, barley was found today 3-8-05 in the condition of Avib in Yisrael as the attached report below by the Karaites indicates. (Actually, I was somewhat aware of this strong possibility about a week ago from another friend in the land who already had heard earlier reports but I was waiting for the report from the annual Karaite field trip conducted by Nehemia Gordon before we at Restoration Records made it "official".)
While we DO NOT AGREE with the Karaites in all matters, not the least of which is their not believing that Yahshua is The Messiah, we still find their more Torah-only interpretations and practices to be more accurate, constructive, and more congruent with the spirit of Yahweh's Torah liberty than some of the additional man-made yokes placed upon the Torah by certain (though not all) traditional rabbinic views - both ancient and latter-day.
For those who set their calendars by Yahweh's timing in scripture based upon the sighting of avib barley in the land of Yisrael followed by the next sighting of the crescent new moon, such next new moon sighting will constitute the first month of the scriptural year - Avib. The rest of the moedim (appointed times) will then fall into place from that point forward.
This will make this year's scriptural moedim (appointed times) generally fall one month before the traditional calendar "holidays" as pre-printed by rabbinic Judaism. I believe that Efrayim and Judah should seek unity with each other at every opportunity, but not at the expense of violating very specific Torah commandments regarding the scripturally appointed times of Yahweh. Their unity will only be as strong as the bond between them i.e., so long as it is centered around Torah, and thus also Yahshua, not each in one another's personal preferences or what is convenient.
Shalom

Aviv Found!
On Tuesday March 8, 2005 Aviv was found in Israel at Alon Junction and Ein Mabua near Jerusalem. Large quantities of Aviv barley were found near Ein Mabua and smaller quantities near Alon Junction. Ein Mabua is located 15km east of Jerusalem.
The Aviv examination on March 8, 2005 started out as a field trip to teach Aviv Searchers about what to look for during the main Aviv Search on Thursday-Friday March 10-11, 2005. During this preliminary examination we immediately found that the barley in the region was in an advanced stage of ripening. The main Aviv Search, which will cover the Northern Negev and Jordan Valley regions, will still be carried out on March 10-11. However, the vast quantities of Aviv Barley already located east of Jerusalem are enough to establish the coming month as the Month of the Aviv.
In light of this discovery, the New Moon on Friday March 11, 2005 will be the beginning of the coming biblical year. Chag HaMatzot (Feast of Unleavened Bread) will fall out on Saturday March 26, 2005 and Shavuot (Feast of Weeks) will fall out on May 15, 2005. The following people participated in the Aviv examination on March 8, 2005: Nehemia Gordon, Ruthanne Koch, Devorah Gordon, Glen Cain, Karl Bloodworth, Ferenc Illesy, Avi Marcus, Dina Marcus, Avi Gold, Terry Fehr, and Yosef Ruach.
