Fall Equinox 2017

sunset-206820_150

Our witness is that we have observed the turn for the Fall Equinox 2017.  Once again with lead up observations being made in the USA and Australia and communication taking place over the last few weeks, we have worked together to confirm what the dials are showing. This is our fifth year of making observations.

Using our count method that we have applied consistently  over the last few years we reckon Day 1 of the 7th month – Yom Teruah would be Gregorian day Friday 22 September 2017 if you live in the northern hemisphere or Saturday 23 September 2017 if you live in the southern hemisphere.

Please see the video below:

Downunder, Sydney Australia Observation

Following the sundial observation and witness in Colorado, observations and markings were made on the shadow nailboard located in Sydney.  This has been used for a couple of years now.  Usually a curve appears on the markings however at the time of the equinoxes the markings can be connected with a straight line.

Please see the videos below – starting early in the morning with a  marking when the sun poked through the clouds, followed by a final video showing the results of the markings for that day.

Following this count and reckoning will mean:

Day 10 of the 7th month (Yom HaKippurim) Gregorian Sunday *1st October 2017 in the North or Gregorian Monday *2nd October 2017 in the South. *Remember this feast starts the evening of the day before according to Lev 23:32 and continues through this day.

Day 15 of the 7th month (Sukkot Day 1) Gregorian Friday 6th October 2017 in the North or Gregorian Saturday 7th October 2017 in the South.

Day 21 of the 7th month (Sukkot Day 7) Gregorian Thursday 12th October 2017 in the North or Gregorian Friday 13th October 2017 in the South.

Day 22 of the 7th month (Eighth Day) Gregorian Friday 13th October 2017 in the North or Gregorian Saturday 14th October 2017 in the South.

We then look ahead to the Spring Equinox for the turn of the year.

This is our witness and conviction.  Please as always observe and witness for yourself and walk in the conviction that you have.

All glory, honour, thanks and praise be to our King Yahushua HaMashiach during this feast season.  May you and yours be kept safe and may you rejoice in Him!

Spring Equinox 2017

amazing-sunset-field-header-7675

This is a large post so buckle up.  It has been an interesting time!

Please see below for our witness for this Spring Equinox 2017, the turn of the year:

From Weston, Colorado,USA

 

But wait there is more! Update 20 March 2017 hmmmm…..

And finally from 21 March 2017

Our summation of what we are experiencing this year:

We have been testing and or attempting to disprove NASA and Greenwich for years now. So far, the Equinoxes occur when the say they do. We started in 2013 but our dial was too small and we had to learn how to set it and use it. Starting in 2014 to this Equinox, we have not been able to disprove what they say re equinox.

We have witnessed, 365, 365, 365, and now 366 this year. If you look it up you have 4 years of 365 and then a 366 year. Next years’ Spring Turn is charted to occur on the 20th as well. If anyone uses the 19th as the Spring Turn this year, next year, if the Spring Turn occurs on the 20th, then you will be dealing with another 366 day year.

The sun makes an oblong figure 8 in the sky over a year. The top of the 8 is fatter than the bottom of the 8. The top of the 8 is the summer solstice over the northern hemi and the bottom of the 8 is the winter solstice over the northern hemi. It takes a couple of days longer for the sun to make the summer solstice turn since the path is fatter at the top. We end up with 184-5 days between spring and fall in the northern hemi and 181 days between fall and spring. The slower movement of the sun for the northern hemi at summer solstice gives the extra days vs the period between fall and spring.

Bottom-line, we have to deal with what we have. Thus all the manmade crazy calendars out there. When you witness for yourself you will see the Gregorian day of the week change each year with 365 days and change two days for the 366 days in a year vs the spring equinox. So last year, the spring turn occurred on Sat the 19th. This year the 19th was a Sunday, and since the spring equinox occurred on the 20th a Monday, its two days of the week different from last years 365 day occurrence. The spring turn occurred on the 19th a Sat last year vs the 20th, a Monday this year. Two days different. In a 365 day year, the Gregorian changes one day a week vs two in a 366 day year.   Clear as mud, right!?

That’s why we have gone to witnessing and then counting and that’s it. We wait on the spring turn and then start counting. Doesn’t matter how many days are in a year. We keep 52 Shabbats and then a day or two like this year, to observe. We don’t call them shabbats or anything like that. Just waiting on him and taking great note and interest, connecting us with Him and all that He has made.

This year we also started to observe and mark using a large ‘gnomon” aka a telegraph pole.  We put white rocks at the end of the shadow in the field.  Kinda fun.  We were unable to complete this across the full observation day but we will continue doing this for future observations.

This year we have also received pics from our readers and listeners with some also setting up dials and observing for the first time.  These pics have been taken at various locations throughout the USA with some prior to and some on the day of observation. Time stamps on photos are sometimes suspect due to daylight saving mode on the camera and the camera battery itself not always maintaining an accurate time.  However they are all provided “as is”.

Although we are unable to verify that alignments, measurements and markings are correct we include them here not as a definitive witness of the spring equinox but as a witness that there are others out there taking the time to do so and to learn like the rest of us.  To that we say “good on you”!!

Our final comments for this year

This is the fifth year now that we have diligently measured the equinoxes and solstices, as best as we are able, learning each year.  We continue to share this information for the many that ask what we do.  We do not say “thus says YHWH”.

We have in our reckoning through various observations leading up to and including today, just completed a 366 day year as stated above.

We will now (Gregorian Calendar day of Tuesday 21st March 2017) start the count of the new biblical year – thus we will reckon it as Day 1 of the first month.

Shabbat will be reckoned on the 7th day of this count – thus Gregorian Calendar Monday 28th March 2017 will be reckoned as the first shabbat of the new biblical year and then each subsequent Gregorian Monday will be the shabbat, according to the count of this method.

Pesach will be reckoned on the evening of the 14th day of the count thus Gregorian Monday 3rd April 2017 is when we will be celebrating Pesach.  The next day will be the 15th day of the first month, thus being the first day of unleavened bread, and so on.

This continues to be the conviction that we have based on what we have observed and what we currently understand.  These dates are based on observation in the so called Northern Hemisphere.  If you live in the so called Southern Hemisphere then you may have a one day variance to these dates, according to your own observations and reckonings.

So for those of us in Sydney as an example, the Gregorian Wednesday 22nd March 2017 will be reckoned as Day 1 of the biblical year.  Shabbat will therefore follow on the 7th day as Tuesday 29th March 2017 and will occur each subsequent Tuesday.  Pesach on the 14th day of the first biblical month will therefore be on Gregorian Tuesday 4th April 2017 and so on.

We continue to encourage you to study and practice these matters for yourself and walk in the conviction that you have. The point is to be watching, observing and testing for yourself and establishing these things with multiple witnesses.  One day we will be on His (Abba YHWH’s) time for certain.

Thankyou to those of you who communicated with us during this time of observation and who setup dials and observed for the first time.  Keep going.

All glory, honour, thanks and praise be to YHWH and to our King Yahushua!

May we be a people pleasing to Him in the year ahead.

Keep looking up everything.

Diagram and explanation on the cycle of the year

Comment on the video:

“We keep a 364 day year with 52 Shabbats, using the Spring Turn Day as an anchor.  We start counting weeks, days, months, and to His Feasts starting the next day.  So again, for the third year running, the 19th will be the spring turn day, with the 20th being day one of the year by the way we have come to count.

For us this year, Sundays will be Shabbat.  So far, the Heavens and earth have not changed, the Gregorian does.

The Gregorian day changes by one day every year against the Heavens, not the date, but the day of the week.  Last year the 19th was on a Saturday, this year it’s on a Sunday.  See!?

This past year we kept Shabbat on Saturdays. The year before on Fridays, and the year before that on Thursdays.  Their calendars, Gregorian and Jewish, do not align with the Heavens, thus the requirement for a leap year and or a 13th month in their calendars.  All other calendars we have studied do the same types of things.

Shalom shalom, stay tuned.  We will finish our witness for today and also for tomorrow.  If He does not change the Heavens or the earth in the next 24hrs, tomorrow will be the turn of His Year.”

Shalom

Observing and marking lead up to equinox

sunset-206820_150

As the Spring Equinox turn of the year approaches we once again start to observe and mark the movement of the sun on our sundials and other measuring devices such as the simple nail in a board.

This is the fifth year that we have undertaken such measurements and this is the fourth year of having a combined witness between the US and Australia.

Please see below some pictures showing observations marked from Weston, Colorado USA on 12 and 13 March 2017.  As the shadow moves closer to the middle and X marks the spot we see the equinox approaching.  It is still a number of days away.

From Sydney Australia (Downunder)

From the location on the Northern Beaches of Sydney we are using a simple nail in a board as a contrast to the more elaborate dials used in Colorado.  The point is to be able to use what you have and to take the time to observe and mark.  The more you do it the more in tune you get with the movements and patterns established by our Abba.

Please see below some pics that show the marks made based on observations on 11,12,13 March 2017.  There is also a picture that includes a ruler so you can see how the markings curve away over the course of the day.  On the equinox day there will be no curve as per the witness from previous years.

The use of other devices is fun and interesting, even observing shadows from the power poles.

We encourage you as we have done in previous communication to see what you can do to observe for yourself and where possible to share this with us by email to: witness@hisplan.net

Keep looking up!

I didn’t get a picture today…but did break services at the appointed time and have five witness who saw the crossing at the high noon point exactly where it was suppose to be…some what of an experience for them…they have seen the pictures before…but then there isn’t anything like seeing it for themselves and actually seeing the time line pass the center point…End of email

Our Comments for this year

This is the fourth year now that we have diligently measured the equinoxes and solstices, as best as we are able.  We share this information for the many that ask what we do.  We do not say “thus says YHWH”.

We have observed the shadow lines in the middle of the dial – this shows the Spring Equinox and in our reckoning denotes the last day or turn day of the year (therefore we have just completed a 365 day year). 52 weeks of seven days for a total of 364 + 1 day for the turn.

We will tomorrow (Gregorian Calendar day of Sunday 20th March 2016) start the count of the new biblical year – thus it will be Day 1 of the first month.

Shabbat will be reckoned on the 7th day of this count – thus Gregorian Calendar Saturday 26th March 2016 will be the first shabbat of the new biblical year and then each subsequent Gregorian Saturday will be the shabbat, according to the count of this method.

Pesach will be reckoned on the evening of the 14th day of the count thus Gregorian Saturday 2nd April 2016 is when we will be celebrating Pesach.  The next day will be the 15th day of the first month, thus being the first day of unleavened bread, and so on.

This is simply the conviction that we have based on what we have observed and what we currently understand.  These dates are based on observation in the so called Northern Hemisphere.  If you live in the so called Southern Hemisphere then you may have a one day variance to these dates, according to your own observations and reckonings.

Please study these matters for yourself and walk in the conviction that you have. The point is to be watching, observing and testing for yourself and establishing these things with multiple witnesses.  One day we will be on His (Abba YHWH) time for certain.

All glory, honour, thanks and praise be to YHWH!

Keep looking up everything.
