Shabbat Shalom to the Royal Family of Yehovah,
Shabbat Shalom to you all.
I finally arrived home late on Monday this past week after driving more than 7,500 km from Ontario to Dallas for the NRB convention. Then, I went to Arizona to visit my Dad before heading to Nebraska for Shabbat last Saturday. I am getting older, as I need more pea breaks than I used to and am no longer able to drive 24 hours straight as I used to when we would go to Florida.
A lot has taken place while we were at the NRB and since. It is incredible to see.
This Sabbath is the 14th of Nisan. This year it the timing is exactly the same as it was when Joshua crossed the Jordan to enter the promised land with all of Israel. We will explain that both on the Sabbath at our meeting and in the Newsletter.
Friday evening is the foot washing ceremony we wrote to you about last week. Saturday evening is when the Passover meal is to be eaten. All leaven is to be removed from your house by sunset Saturday. You are to eat unleavened bread on each of the 7 days of Unleavened Bread beginning with the Passover meal, Saturday evening.
On Sabbath we will hold a shortened version of our Torah study to give people time to prepare the Passover meal. We will have a service at 10 AM Eastern and another at 1 PM Eastern on Sunday, which is the High Holy Day of the 1st Day of Unleavened Bread. Do check what time that is locally for you as there have been changes to the clocks in some areas.
In this week’s Newsletter, we will explain what the first few trumpet plagues look like in relation to today’s news. Yes the plagues of Egypt are taking place now but few know what to look for.
We also are releasing the video of our NRB event. May it be a blessing to you as you see our message and the work we are doing to present it.
We continue to ask you to support this work with your love gifts monthly. We are asking so that we can do an advertising campaign with the NRB for $4000 this month, another advertising campaign with FrontGate Media for $5000 every two months to promote us on to as many podcasts as possible. This campaign is for the next 12 months so we are looking for $30,000 in total. We also have a trip to Japan at the end of March to speak to a group there, and then on to the Philippines for a 6-week speaking tour there. All of this cost money and I have exhausted my resources in doing the NRB last month. We are also in discussions about speaking in Uganda in July.
Brethren, I cannot do any of this without your help. We are a very small group with an enormous message. Please join us and become a monthly donor at https://sightedmoon.com/donate-co/ . Become part of our team who are doing this work at this time. We may not all be able to speak in public. We may not all be able to go to the conventions or afford to pay for the advertising, but together as a unit we can all work as a team to get this work done. What is Yehovah going to say to you on judgment day? Well done, good and faithful servant, or take away from this slothful servant what he has and give it to the one who has ten.
There is no one else teaching what we are teaching. Consider joining our work.
Mat 25:14 For it is as if a man going abroad called hisown servants and gave them his goods.
Mat 25:15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to each according to his ability. And he went abroad at once.
Mat 25:16 And going he who had received the five talents traded with them, and made another five talents.
Mat 25:17 And likewise he who had received two, he also gained another two.
Mat 25:18 But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the earth and hid his lord’s silver.
Mat 25:19 After a long time the lord of those servants came and took account with them.
Mat 25:20 And so he who had received five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, Lord, you delivered five talents to me. Behold, I have gained five talents above them.
Mat 25:21 His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful over a few things; I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.
Mat 25:22 He also who had received two talents came and said, Lord, you delivered two talents to me. Behold, I have gained two other talents above them.
Mat 25:23 His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.
Mat 25:24 And he who had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew that you were a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter.
Mat 25:25 And I was afraid and went and hid your talent in the earth. Lo, you have yours.
Mat 25:26 His lord answered and said to him, Evil and slothful servant! You knew that I reaped where I did not sow, and gathered where I did not scatter,
Mat 25:27 then you should have put my money to the exchangers, and coming I would have received my own with interest.
Mat 25:28 Therefore take the talent from him and give itto him who has ten talents.
Mat 25:29 For to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he will abound. But from him who has not, even that which he has shall be taken away from him.
Mat 25:30 And throw the unprofitable servant into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Torah Portion
Torah Portions
We read through the entire Torah along with the Prophets and the New Testament, once over the course of 3 1/2 years. Or according to the Sabbatical Cycle which means we read it all twice over a 7-year period. This allows us to cover more in-depth rather than being rushed to cover as much as is covered on an annual basis. We allow all to comment and take part in the discussions.
Septennial Torah Portion
If you go to Torah Portion in our archived section, you can then go to the 1st year, which is the 1st year of the Sabbatical Cycle, the one we are in now, as we state at the top of every Newsletter. There, you can scroll down to the proper date and see that this Shabbat, we could very well be midrashing about:
Exodus 9
1 Kings 17-18
Psalm 118
Luke 23:1-49
We are in the 1st Sabbatical Cycle in 2024-2025. We go through the entire bible twice in a 7 year cycle. This means we cover the entire bible once every 3 1/2 years. It gives us more time to debate and discuss each portion we read.
If you missed last week’s exciting discoveries as we studied that section, you can go and watch past Shabbats on our media section.
Join Our Sabbath Meetings
Join Our Sabbath Meetings
There are many people in need of fellowship and who are sitting at home on the Sabbath with no one to talk to or debate with. I want to encourage all of you to join us on Shabbat, and to invite others to come and join us as well. If the time is not convenient then you can listen to the teaching and the midrash after on our YouTube channel.
What are we doing and why do we teach this way?
We are going to discuss both sides of an issue and then let you choose. It is the work of the Ruach (Spirit) to direct and to teach you.
The medieval commentator Rashi wrote that the Hebrew word for wrestle (avek) implies that Jacob was “tied”, for the same word is used to describe knotted fringes in a Jewish prayer shawl, the tzitzityot. Rashi says, “thus is the manner of two people who struggle to overthrow each other, that one embraces the other and knots him with his arms”.
Our intellectual wrestling has been replaced by a different kind of struggle. We are wrestling with Yehovah as we grapple with His Word. It is an intimate act, symbolizing a relationship in which Yehovah and you and I are bound together. My wrestling is a struggle to discover what Yehovah expects of us, and we are “tied” to the One who assists us in that struggle.
Today, many say Israel means “Champion of God”, or better — the “Wrestler of God”.
Our Torah sessions each Shabbat teaches you and encourages you to constantly challenge, question, argue against, as well as view alternative views and explanations of the Word. In other words, we are to “wrestle with the Word” to get to the truth. Jews worldwide believe that you need to wrestle with the Word and constantly challenge Dogma, Theology, and views or else you will never get to the Truth.
We are not like most churches where “The preacher talks and everyone listens.” We encourage everyone to participate, to question and to contribute what they know on the subject being discussed. We want you to be a champion wrestler of the Word of Yehovah. We want you to wear the title of Israel, knowing that you not only know but are capable of explaining why you know the Torah to be true with logic and facts.
We have a few rules though. Let others talk and listen. There is no discussion about UFO’s, Nephilim, Vaccines or conspiracy-type subjects. We have people from around the world with different world views. Not everyone cares who is the President of any particular country. Treat each other with respect as fellow wrestlers of the word. Some of our subjects are hard to understand and require you to be mature and if you do not know, then listen to gain knowledge and understanding and hopefully wisdom. The very things you are commanded to ask Yehovah for and He gives to those who ask.
Jas 1:5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and with no reproach, and it shall be given to him.
We hope you can invite those who want to keep Torah to come and join us by hitting the link below. It is almost like a Torah teaching fellowship talk show with people from around the world taking part and sharing their insights and understandings.
We start off with some music and then some prayers and it’s as though you were sitting around the kitchen back in Newfoundland having a cup of coffee and all of us enjoying each other’s company. I hope you will grace us with your company someday.
Sabbath services begin at 12:30 PM EDT where we will be doing prayers, songs and teaching from this hour.
Shabbat midrash will begin at about 1:15 pm Eastern.
We look forward to you joining our family and getting to know us as we get to know you.

The Stones Cry Out Part 1 & Part 2
Do you want to know how to prove the Zadok Calendar, the Enoch Calendar, and the Book of Jubilee Calendar false?
Do you want to know how the calendar issue became so confusing?
I go this awesome endorsement and I want to share it here now. with you.
In The Stones Cry Out, I walk you through the history of each change and why those changes came about, starting with the Maccabean days. Yes, it all began around 164 B.C. When Yehshua was here, he was dealing with two schools of thought. The Sadducees were all but wiped out when the Temple fell in 70 C.E. This left only the Pharisees, who began to be persecuted after the failure of the Bar Kochbah Revolt in 134 C.E.
The truth began to become out of focus around 160 C.E. when Rabbi Jose wrote the Seder Olam. This work originally was written to proof Simon Bar Kochbah was the Messiah. When that did not pan out the history was later revived and then redacted as the truth into the Mishneh Torah by Rabbi Judah ha Nasi in 180 C.E. After this the Jerusalem Talmud begins to debate these issues. It was then during this time as the Jerusalem Talmudist are forced to flee and the Babylonian Talmudist continue to grow until the 6th century that Hillel came up with a solution to help them keep the Holy Days at the proper time while they were out of the land of Israel. He did this in 358 C.E. This work was then modified and adjusted over the next 800 years with additions added and other rejected. Until it was finally redacted once again in 1177 by Rambam. And with that we now have the modern Hillel calendar which includes the errors passed on during each redaction. These errors included the time of the Sabbatical and Jubilee years.
Once the Temple was destroyed in 70 C.E., the Jews recorded time by counting from the time It was destroyed. This is why the 40 tombstones of Zoar, which record this information, are crucial to understand.
When you understand why the Postponement rules were first created so that the crescent moon would not be seen in another part of the world before it was seen in Israel then you can understand how they were still trying to follow the crescent moon to begin the month. The Tombstones show us this exact thing. The tombstones also show us when the Jews changed from a crescent moon to a Conjunction moon to begin the month. They also show us when the Jews changed the year from the month of Aviv to the Tishri to begin the year.
I really want you to understand these things so you know why you do what you do as far as following a calendar to keep Yehovah’s moedim.

I would like to add this recent comment to encourage you all to get this book and learn these truths. And the Book is FREE. You have no reason not to get it.
Most people assume that Hillel created the calendar in 358 C.E. They then assume that because it was a Sanhedrin, they are not allowed to change in order to obey Yehovah. The Hillel calendar has been changed many times since 358 C.E. up until 1177 C.E. Few people talk about these changes but we do in our latest Book The Stones Cry Out Part 1 which is free on our website. The Hillel calendar was changed on many occasions and many sought to make other changes during this time. They never needed a Bet Din to approve those changes. They just did them. So this excuse that we do not have the right to obey Yehovah because the Bet Din has not approved it is a crock of crap.
You have the obligation to obey Yehovah. You have the duty to prove which calendar you are to go by. You must prove it beyond all doubt. Yehshua never followed the Hillel calendar. Nor did any of the Apostles.
The reason no man can know the day or the hour is because it refers to a crescent moon to begin the 7th month. That is the day He was born on and the day He comes to judge on. At a day and hour no one can know. Using the Hillel calendar predicts Yom Teruah years in advance so every one knows when to keep it. But even in the Hillel calendar they keep two days of Yom Teruah reckoning back to the sighted moon. Also in the postponement rules developed long after Hillel, they again state that if the conjunction is at a certain time then the day begins at such and such, in order that the moon will not be seen in another part of the world before it is seen in Israel. That was rule number 2.
Everyone has to choose. You have the right to be wrong. But if you choose to be wrong then you also must live with the consequences that come with sin. And that is the death penalty for not keeping the Holy Days, these Sabbath at the proper time. It is your choice.
Just because you write in to me to justify your position does mean it is right. It just means your sounding off.
Allow me to share this endorsement of our latest book again. If you have read our books, please share your thoughts about them with us in the comments below or email me.
And yes, many observe the Equinox. There are many who are deceived, improperly educated. And this is why Joe puts out a newsletter every week, why he writes books, why the SightedMoon Zoom Shabbat service started, why he travels to places like England and the Philippines to share this message and why were are going to the NRB in February. The calendar is always a divisive issue in social circles because the details are many, that’s why there are so many books Joe has written. I’m not looking to put Joe on a pedestal here. This is not about Joe worship. But Joe has tenaciously studied out the calendar from every angle, not to prove himself right, to to seek to find and share what Yehovah is telling us about His Calendar.
In The Stones Cry Out, Joe has shared the history of all the different groups within Israel, and the beliefs they had about the scriptures and the feast days and the calendar. When you line it all up, you can see for yourself the how and why these misunderstandings and arguments about how and where and why they came about.
This is my new favourite book and I’m only 60-70 pages in. And I encourage you to read the footnotes in this one. Sometimes there’s more footnote on the page than Joe’s words.
Sombra Wilson
When I wrote Stones Cry Out, I wanted it to be one of our FREE books so everyone would have it. It is more of an encyclopedia than a book to read. It will be your quick resource book; you will have access to every question about any calendar, how it got started, and who started it. You will also learn the history of how the Mishnah was assembled, when it was assembled and why. Then, you will learn how that information was transferred into both the Jerusalem and the Babylonian Talmud until it reached its final stage in the Mishneh Torah. Along with this progression, the calendar also progressed and changed long after 358 C.E. when Rabbi Hillel first published it. But…what was before the Hillel calendar? What does the Mishnah record about those things?
The Stones Cry Out was originally going to be one book explaining all the various proofs we have discovered, demonstrating when the Sabbatical and Jubilee years are throughout history.
You can know; it is not a mystery.
As I began to write The Stones Cry Out, I quickly found myself going back, time and time again, to explain how the calendar is behind the confusion of the Sabbatical and Jubilee years. The Rabbis, as they began to write the Mishnah, incorporated wrong understandings, and those errors were written into what became known as the Talmud and then the Mishneh Torah. The expulsion from the land and subsequent persecutions in trying to send out messengers to report the barley being found or the crescent moon being seen, proved to be more and more dangerous over time. All of these things took place over 14 centuries.
Then as I was working on The Stones Cry Out, I discovered that many people were now accepting the Zadok calendar as factual. This is when we pivoted to include all the details of the various calendars that have crept back into public knowledge today and are being used to mislead new people who are just starting to learn about the calendar. All of this was directly connected to the period starting with the Hasmonaeans, up to the destruction of the Temple. Then, with the compiling of the Mishnah, the studies that led into the writing of the Jerusalem Talmud, then the Babylonian Talmud and finally the Mishneh Torah, each error that was added is compounded over time.
The Stones Cry Out, Part 1 explains the history of how each compilation of the Oral Torah incorporated errors, leading the followers thereof away from the actual Torah. In understanding these facts, it is then possible to understand more readily how the Sabbatical and Jubilee years were then mixed and later changed. By explaining all this history, I will be able to help you the reader understand the tombstones when most authorities do not. They have assumed, to their error, the Hillel calendar to have always been in use since Mount Sinai. Not understanding the history of the calendars is why most authorities dismiss the tombstones as too confusing to use. Once you understand The Stones Cry Out Part 1, Part 2 will be very easy to grasp.
Daniel 7:25 tells us he will change the appointed seasons and commandments. Many assume Constantine did this when he made Sunday the Sabbath. Few have considered the calendar’s many changes and how they relate to us today. Hidden in this proverbial swamp of confusion is the truth about the Sabbatical and Jubilee years. The Sabbatical and Jubilee years reveal the truths about the calendar that have been hidden for almost 2000 years.
We are in the very last days and Yehshua warned us that during this time:
Mat 24:10 And then many will be offended, and will betray one another, and will hate one another.
Mat 24:11 And many false prophets will rise and deceive many.
Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many will become cold.
Mat 24:13 But he who endures to the end, the same shall be kept safe.
Paul also warned Timothy about these last days, warning that some would leave the truth and begin to follow demonic teachers:
1Ti 4:1 But the Spirit expressly says that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and teachings of demons,
Paul again warned the Thessalonians that the Great Falling away would take place in the last days. How can you fall away if you have never come to know the truth? So who is Paul talking to? Those who are called and answer that calling begin to walk this road of restoration back to Yehovah, and then at some point along that walk, they change and leave this walk following the teachings of demons to false calendar.
2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, my brothers, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,
2Th 2:2 that you should not be soon shaken in mind or troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word or letter, as through us, as if the Day of Christ is at hand.
2Th 2:3 Let not anyone deceive you by any means. For that Day shall not come unless there first comes a falling away, and the man of sin shall be revealed, the son of perdition,
2Th 2:4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself forth, that he is God.
We must endure until the end. We must not let ourselves become offended by personalities and leave the faith once given.
I want you all to have access to and the ability to read this book and use it as a reference. https://sightedmoon.com/the-stones-cry-out-lp/ Click on the link fill in the form and you will have access to the FREE PDF anywhere in the world.

From February 24 to February 27, 2025, Sightedmoon.com hosted booth #1125 at the NRB 2025 Convention in Grapevine, Texas. In our booth, we explained the Jubilee Cycles, which showed how close we are to the return of the Messiah. We showed those who came by how October 7, 2023, when Hamas attacked Israel, was a prophecy in Daniel 9 and Daniel 12. Many were amazed. Here is a summation of all we presented and those who came by our booth.
Special Thanks to the NRB 2025 Convention for allowing us to join them and sharing our message.

When is Wave Sheaf Day
When is Wave Sheaf Day
We have been debating over when Wave Sheaf Day is this year, because of the fact that the the first day falls on Sunday.
Eileen Espinosa drew up this chart below to help you all understand.
A couple of scriptures to keep in mind.
You are to eat Unleavened Bread for 7 Days. Not 8 or 9 but 7.
You are to eat the Passover meal with Unleavened Bread so the Passover must take place during those 7 days of Unleavened Bread.
The Passover Meal is to be eaten on the 15th of Aviv which is the first day of Unleavened Bread.
Exo 13:6 You shall eat unleavened bread seven days, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to Jehovah.
Exo 13:7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days. And there shall be no leavened bread seen with you, nor shall there be leaven seen with you in all your borders.
Exo 12:15 You shall eat unleavened bread seven days; even the first day you shall put away leaven out of your houses. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
Exo 12:16 And on the first day shall be a holy gathering, and in the seventh day there shall be a holy gathering for you. No manner of work shall be done in them, except that which every man must eat, that only may be done by you.
Lev 23:6 and on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to Jehovah. You must eat unleavened bread seven days.
Exo 12:8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire, and unleavened bread. They shall eat it with bitter herbs.
Exo 12:9 Do not eat of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire, its head with its legs, and with its inward parts.
Exo 12:10 And you shall not let any of it remain until the morning. And that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.
The chart below shows the 7 days of Unleavened Bread with it beginning on each day of the week. There are only 7 days. Wave Sheaf day is always on the day after the Sabbath but it must be part of the 7 days of Unleavened Bread.
Lev 23:11 And he shall wave the sheaf before Jehovah to be received for you. On the next day after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
When the Sabbath is part of the 7 Days of Unlevened Bread it is easy to know when Wave Sheaf Day is. But every time Wave Sheaf is always during the 7 Days of Unleavened Bread.
So now what do you do when you have a Sabbath on the last day of the 7th Day of Unleavened Bread. Wave Sheaf Day must be during those 7 Days of Unleavened Bread. The Sabbath that precedes Wave Sheaf Day can be outside the 7 Days of Unleavened Bread such as it is this year on the 14th.
The pattern shows that Wave Sheaf Day is always during the 7 days of Unleavened Bread. This year Wave Sheaf Day and the First Day will be on the same day in order to keep that pattern.
The first and last weeks are the same below. The pattern shows that if Unleavened Bread Day 1 (UB1) falls on a Sunday (like this year), that day is also First-fruits (FF).
It is important to understand this because you must count from the day you put the sickle to the grain 7 Sabbaths or 49 days to come to Shavuot.
Lev 23:15 And you shall count to you from the next day after the sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete.
Lev 23:16 To the next day after the seventh sabbath you shall number fifty days. And you shall offer a new food offering to Jehovah.
Passover
Deu 16:1 Observe the month Abib, and keep the Passover to Jehovah your God. For in the month of Abib, Jehovah your God brought you forth out of Egypt by night.
Deu 16:2 And you shall therefore sacrifice the Passover to Jehovah your God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which Jehovah shall choose to place His name there.
Deu 16:3 You shall eat no leavened bread with it. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread with it, the bread of affliction, for you came forth out of the land of Egypt in haste, so that you may remember the day that you came forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.
Deu 16:4 And there shall be no leavened bread seen with you in all your borders for seven days. Nor shall any of the flesh which you sacrificed in the first day at evening remain all night until the morning.
Deu 16:5 You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates, which Jehovah your God gives you,
Deu 16:6 but at the place which Jehovah your God shall choose to place His name in, there you shall sacrifice the Passover at evening, at the going of the sun, at the time that you came out of Egypt.
Deu 16:7 And you shall roast and eat in the place which Jehovah your God shall choose. And in the morning you shall turn and go to your tents.
Deu 16:8 Six days you shall eat unleavened bread. And on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to Jehovah your God. You shall do no work.
The Feast of Weeks
Deu 16:9 You shall count seven weeks to yourselves. Begin to count the seven weeks from the time you began to put the sickle to the grain.Deu 16:10 And you shall keep the Feast of Weeks to Jehovah your God with a measure of a free-will offering of your hand, which you shall give according as Jehovah your God has blessed you.
I hope this has helped you and not added to the confusion.
Counting of the Omer
Counting of the Omer
Counting the Omer someone is surely going to ask you or say it publicly, where are we commanded to count the omer?
When you are asked this then you will take them to Lev 23:15
“You shall count seven full weeks from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering. You shall count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath. Then you shall present a grain offering of new grain to the Lord.
Here you are told that there are two different methods of counting the 50 days. The first was to count 7 full weeks and the second was to count out the full 50 days.
Again, in Deut 16:9, you are told to COUNT. It is a commandment to count the days and/or weeks. You start from the time the sickle is first put to the Barley grain, which was done after sunset, after the weekly Saturday Sabbath. This counting began with Wave Sheaf Day.
“You shall count seven weeks. Begin to count the seven weeks from the time the sickle is first put to the standing grain.
According to some the commandment ‘and you shall count for yourselves fifty days’ means to simply observe the 50th day as Shavuot while others actually declare out loud the number on each of the fifty days. A medieval Karaite Jewish practice combines two different methods of declaring the daily count. The first method is the counting of seven weeks. Each day, the number of the week and the number of the day in the week are declared. So for example, the first day is ‘first day of the first week’. The second counting method used is an overall number for each day. In this method Day one is ‘the first day’ and Day 25 is ‘the twenty-fifth day’. These two methods are used to satisfy the commandment to count seven weeks (Deuteronomy 16:9) as well as the commandment to count fifty days (Leviticus 23:16).
During each one of these days of Counting the Omer to Pentecost, Jewish tradition has developed around reading the Psalms on certain days. I find this to be very beneficial. It is customary that following the “Counting of the Omer,” one recites Psalm 67, for according to tradition, that Psalm has forty-nine words, which corresponds perfectly to the forty-nine days of the “Counting of the Omer.”
And as you meditate on and do these readings, which includes the Counting of the Omer command, keep in mind what this symbolizes. It is the counting of the Sabbatical and Jubilee Years and where we are in that cycle. We are in the thirtieth year in 2025, which corresponds to the thirtieth day of the “Counting of the Omer.”
Wave Sheaf day is so exciting to understand and amazing to believe because it forebodes when we will be changed and raised. If you want to call this the Rapture then I can except that if you are obeying Yehovah. If you’re not obeying Yehovah and you think the laws are done away with, then you will not be in this resurrection or raptured. You will be told to be gone you workers of lawlessness, I never knew you.
We will speak more about this as Pentecost draws closer. It is the Feast of Oaths, the 8th day of the Jubilee year.
When you count from the Wave offering of the barley to Pentecost, it is called the counting of the Omer. You are to count each day up to the 50th day. This Sunday, March 16, 2025, is day one. We are to count the Omer.
As I said, this is the most special time of year for me and in years past I couldn’t put my finger on exactly why, other than it had something to do with Yehshua’s resurrection and waiting in anticipation for Shavuot. While I cannot put into words how my understanding of this has grown, all I can say is that “it clicked!” and “now I get it!”, at least more than before. Understanding follows obedience. So OBEY and learn. You learn by doing as we are told in James.
James 2:18 But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder! Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God. You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
All 50 days and each of the Psalms can be found at the back of our book, Remembering the Sabbatical year of 2016

The Trade Wars have Begun-1/3 of the Ships to be Destroyed
The Trade Wars have Begun-1/3 of the Ships to be Destroyed
In past newsletters, we have written about the first god Yehovah takes out during the 10 plagues of Egypt. We wrote how Hapi is not happy back on October 12, 2024.
On January 25, of 2025 we posted the following in that article then.
The Leviticus 26 Plagues
The first plague I have called Terror began in 1996 and continued until 2002. It is then compounded with the extreme and severe weather of plague number 2 from 2003-2009. These two are then added to the third plague of famine and pestilence from 2010 to 2016. All of these are then added to the 4th Sabbatical cycle of 2017 to 2023, which now has what I said was war. But that was wrong the word war I took from the word sword. But this Hebrew word is חֶרֶב chereb and it means: I.Sword: A weapon used to lay waste a city. II.Waste: A dry or desolate place. So it can also mean drought which lines up with the theme of many of the curses. War did break out at the end of 2023 in Ukraine and in Israel and the Middle East. Both of these scenarios could become WW III. The fifth curse is then compounded on top of all of these. It goes from 2024 to 2030 and it is the curse of famine.
The First 5 Seals of Revelation 6
These seals are the white horse of false religion, the red horse of war, the pale horse of famine and the black horse of death. The fifth seal are those under the altar or in the grave who died because of these four horsemen. The horsemen, or the four seals, began in 610 C.E. with the founding of Islam. Those refusing its mark died and are the ones beneath the altar.
I am still of the opinion the 6th seal with the great earthquake is the same one that ushers in the Great Tribulation and the raising of the Two Witnesses who are killed in 2030.
The 10 gods of Egypt. Yehovah attacks each god during each subsequent year until the final one, the firstborn, is killed in 2033. Satan is the one who will be killed. He is first locked away for the millennium and then destroyed at the end of the 7th millennium. So, these 10 days of Judgment are related to the Passover events.
The Seven Trumpet Plagues.
In all of this, the question remains: does each plague begin in the fall? Because of the Trumpet blown at Trumpets and then in the end, Satan locked up at Atonement. I am still not 100% sure of this or whether it begins at Aviv. But in 2023, We kept Trumpets and then 50 days later, it was October 7. In 2024, we kept Trumpets and then 50 days later, Hasan Nasrallah was killed, and soon thereafter, Israel got the peace deal, Syria collapsed, Iran’s proxies fell apart, and now the hostages are coming home.
2024 Hapi – god of the Nile – 10 Days of Awe page 599 – Amazon dries up – water turning to blood – wildfires of LA – drought in the Amazon – 6 typhoons in 6 weeks in the Philippines, flooding the country each time. Hapi can’t control the Nile, nor can the god of the Nile control the weather for the proper amount of rain needed for the fertility of the crops.
2024 – The First Trumpet Plague begins. Each plague like the plagues of Leviticus 26, are compounded. This means they start and grow worse with each succeeding year, and they are added to all the other plagues that will also be happening. Hail and fire mixed with blood. A third part of the trees and all green grass burnt up. This harkens back to the water turned to blood. The rivers are drying up and stinking. Extreme and severe drought. Amazon and California wildfires and the drought in the western USA. Now, snow down to Louisiana and Florida.
2025 – Heqet – god of frogs – 10 Days of Awe page 604 – Heqet is the god of medicine, witchcraft and fertility. President Trump has appointed RFK to take care of the CDC. He is a known anti-vaxer and conspiracy advocate. We have just had the first cases of bird flu crossing over to humans. you can go to the CDC link to see what are the latest concerns. And to my amazement I just discovered that as of January 2025, the number one concern is the return of Polio along with COVID.
President Trump, after he was sworn in, went to the White House and signed an executive order to withdraw from WHO.
NEW YORK — President Donald Trump is pulling the U.S. out of the World Health Organization for a second time, the White House announced late Monday.
The day-one executive order fulfills Trump’s campaign promise to reject global institutions. Health experts worry it isolates the U.S. with consequences for pandemic and disease response and diplomatic relations worldwide.
The U.S. is and has historically been the largest funder of the global health agency headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. WHO, part of the United Nations, is tasked with preparing for and fighting health emergencies. The U.S. has strongly influenced the agency since its founding after World War II.
Trump criticized WHO for its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, even as his administration faced scrutiny for being slow to respond to the crisis. In 2020, at the height of the pandemic, he began the process of pulling out from WHO.
NEW YORK/LONDON/GENEVA, Jan 21 (Reuters) – The United States will leave the World Health Organization, President Donald Trump said on Monday, saying the global health agency had mishandled the COVID-19 pandemic and other international health crises.Trump said the WHO had failed to act independently from the “inappropriate political influence of WHO member states” and required “unfairly onerous payments” from the U.S. that were disproportionate to the sums provided by other, larger countries, such as China.“World Health ripped us off, everybody rips off the United States. It’s not going to happen anymore,” Trump said at the signing of an executive order on the withdrawal, shortly after his inauguration to a second term.The WHO said on Tuesday that it regretted the move from its top donor country.“We hope that the United States will reconsider, and we really hope that there will be constructive dialogue for the benefit of everyone, for Americans but also for people around the world,” WHO spokesperson Tarik Jasarevic told reporters in Geneva.The move sets a 12-month notice period for the U.S. to leave the United Nations health agency and stop all financial contributions to its work. The United States is by far the WHO’s biggest financial backer, contributing around 18% of its overall funding. WHO’s most recent two-year budget, for 2024-2025, was $6.8 billion.The U.S. departure is likely to put at risk programs across the organization, according to several experts both inside and outside the WHO, notably those tackling tuberculosis, the world’s biggest infectious disease killer, as well as HIV/AIDS and other health emergencies.
President Donald Trump is withdrawing the United States from the Paris Agreement — again.
Under the international climate accord, first negotiated in 2015, countries around the world agreed to cut greenhouse gas emissions in an effort to limit global warming and forestall the worst impacts of climate change.
Trump has argued the agreement imposes unfair burdens on the American economy, and he withdrew the U.S. during his first term in office. The U.S. officially rejoined under President Joe Biden in 2021.
On Monday, Trump started the process over again, signing an order onstage before supporters at the Capital One Arena, just hours after taking office.
The funding that the taxpayers of the USA were putting into the Paris Accord to make it all work was then supposed to be given to the poorer nations of the world to help develop infrastructure to combat Global warming. This is the very thing the Philippines was wanting to get their hands on. At that time, $80 million was held up in red tape. Now, they all must fend for themselves. The cash cow has dried up.
One of the most significant consequences of the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement was the abrupt end to climate finance. The Obama Administration had committed to contributing to the Green Climate Fund (GCF), which helps developing countries mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change. With the U.S. out of the agreement, funding for this initiative was immediately cut, leaving nations primarily in the Global South without critical resources.
The fund had been designed to help developing countries transition to renewable energy, build resilient infrastructure, and adapt to the rapidly changing climate. The U.S. had pledged $3 billion to this fund, though under Trump, only a fraction of that commitment was honored. The lack of financial backing also slowed global progress on climate adaptation and emissions reduction, especially in poorer nations that are most vulnerable to the effects of climate change.
Countries that had already been relying on these funds, such as small island nations and nations in Africa, voiced frustration at the U.S.’s failure to uphold its promises, which had been key to the success of the Paris Agreement. “Keeping to 1.5 degrees is quite simply a matter of survival,” Ethiopia’s top climate official Debasu Bayleyegn Eyasu, who chaired the Climate Vulnerable Forum (CVF), a group of developing nations most threatened by climate change, said at the May 2017 climate talks in Germany. “For all of us, the Paris Agreement is our lifeline.” The CVF said in a statement at the time that the U.S.’s withdrawal from the Paris Agreement “signifies an endangerment of the more than one billion people our Forum represents in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America and the Pacific.”
Without the USA, the world will not be able to fund and take care of those diseases that are going to arise in other parts of the world. It is inevitable. And the god Heqet will be unable to save the world from the curse Yehovah is now sending. Watch for outbreaks of diseases.
2025 – 2nd Trumpet Plague is to begin. A great mountain burning with fire will be cast into the sea. And a third of the sea becomes blood. Is this a drought? Are the seas going to be drying up? Or is the sea the people, and a third of the people are going to die? Or is it both, like when Moses threw the bush in the water to turn it from bitter to sweet? Verse 9 says a third part of this in the sea died. This leads me to think that it is 1/3 of the people. Is this great nation Russia or China? The Bible only talks about the two houses of Israel. Could one of those two houses go to war or civil war and fall to the people, the sea? Have these two Great nations paid for the millions of abortions that they have done? Or the abandonment of Yehovah’s laws?
2026 – Geb the god of the earth – Gnats – 10 Days of Awe page 612 – is this the year of earthquakes? The Gnats come out of the dust of the earth which tells us it was drought conditions. Geb was also the god of fertility. Does this mean we will see more crops failing due to drought? We continue to watch. This is the cycle of famine.
2026 – 3rd Trumpet plague – the star wormwood falls from heaven, and 1/3 of the rivers became bitter, and men died when they drank it. Is this a nuclear attack? Is the MAGA USA about to be attacked?
2026 – Two Witnesses – They are going to stop the rain for 3 1/2 years. This ties into all the plagues we have been looking at thus far. Water turning to blood is drought-related.
We will discuss the coming diseases in our next article, The Diseases Are Coming-Heqet. Heqet is the second god of Egypt. We have lined up the 2nd year of the 10 Years of Awe, 2025, as the start date. We have also assigned the second Trumpet plague to the second year of the 10 Years of Awe. the rest of this article pertains to that Great Mountain falling into the sea.
On February 28, 2025, there was the Oval Office debacle between the Vice President, President, and President Zelenski. We have been posting many things on Telegram, and I hope you join us there to keep abreast of the many fast-changing events. The view of the White House seems to have generated from this point forward. This was a shameful act done in front of the cameras.
After this, the EU woke up and put 800 billion Euros into their own defence, the very thing Trump has been advocating since his first term. But all of Europe and much of the world have now begun to turn on the USA, especially since the Tariffs began to be used. One minute, they are on, then the next, some are off. Another country retaliates, and then the Tariffs are back on and doubled. Then, the next day, they are off. As of this posting Trump is threatening 200% tariffs on all wine and liquers from the EU.
Because of the uncertainty and the quick changes in tariffs, the stock market declined from 44,882 on January 30, 2025, to 44,156 as of March 13, 2025. Elon Musk’s net worth has plummeted almost 23% since he began working with DOGE.
Markets no longer think Donald Trump is full of bluster and are moving quickly to anticipate a slowdown in U.S. and global growth as he raises a wall of tariffs around the world’s biggest economy and trading partners start to respond in kind.
Six weeks into his second term, the U.S. president has hit imports from Mexico and Canada with 25% levies, put an additional 20% tariff on goods from China, threatened reciprocal tariffs globally and cut off military aid to Ukraine.
But instead of the rising yields and higher dollar that investors had wagered on in November, the so-called “Trump trade” is in full retreat.
Trade conflict has begun in earnest and the dollar is falling while bond yields dive.
U.S. allies are rattled. As Goldman Sachs analysts note, the average tariff rate on imports from China is now 34% and the increase is already roughly twice as large as that in the first Trump administration. Nobody wants to bet anymore that there will be swift compromises or deals.
“It is difficult for markets to get on with aggressive positioning given the risk of U.S. tariff policies turning on a dime,” said Chang Wei Liang, currency and credit
More from Tuesday March 4, 2025.
U.S. President Donald Trump imposed sweeping new tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico and China on Tuesday, a move that drove stock markets lower, threatened the bottom lines of businesses on all sides of the borders and prompted retaliatory actions from trading partners.
The tariffs, which had been threatened for months, mean U.S. buyers of most Canadian and Mexican goods will pay 25 per cent fees on those items, and tariffs on Chinese products will rise to 20 per cent. Canadian energy and critical minerals will face a lower tariff of 10 per cent.
Now the Chinese are threatening tariffs of their own and even war.
There was also this article about Donald Trump wanting to rebuild the shipping industry in the USA.
President Donald Trump’s plan to revitalize the U.S. shipping industry could heap massive costs on ocean transport operators and spawn a new round of supply chain chaos around the world, executives told Reuters.
Trump’s administration aims to pay for an American shipbuilding comeback with help from potentially hefty port fees on Chinese-built vessels as well as ships from fleets with China-made vessels, according to a draft executive order seen by Reuters on Thursday.
The levies could hit virtually every ship calling at U.S. ports, foist up to $30 billion of annual costs on American consumers and double the cost of shipping U.S. exports, according to the World Shipping Council (WSC), which represents the liner shipping industry.
Originally Trump placed tariffs on Canada, blaming it for not tackling the Fentanyl crisis. But at a recent press conference on March 5, 2025, the following was disclosed. The 2000 percent increase in Fentanyl was from
“There’s been more than a 2,000 percent increase in illegal fentanyl seizure at the northern border. Why? Because Canada is allowing that fentanyl to come to the United States,” Leavitt said.
She added that the president sought “repercussions” for the deaths of American citizens who died of fentanyl overdoses.
“But Karoline, respectfully, it’s just 43 pounds that were found last year—that’s less than a carry-on suitcase,” said NBC News’s senior White House correspondent Gabe Gutierrez. “Is that a lot of fentanyl compared to, say, Mexico? The vast majority of the fentanyl is brought in through Mexico, not Canada. So what else does Canada need to do?”
In 2024, a total of 43 pounds of fentanyl were seized at the northern border, while a whopping 21,100 pounds were seized over the southern border, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. By comparison, only two pounds of fentanyl were seized at the northern border in 2023, the 2,000 percent increase to which Leavitt referred.
While technically both Gutierrez and Leavitt were right, the president’s propagandist appeared to become agitated when confronted with the actual numbers behind her supposedly frightening statistic.
“Well, I just told you, last year alone there was a 2,000 percent increase in illegal fentanyl—” Leavitt said.
So what is Trump after? Why is he provoking his neighbours to the north? It is because of their vast amount of water and resources.
B.C.’s Energy Ministry says the United States has paused negotiations with Canada on the wide-reaching Columbia River Treaty that regulates everything from flood control and power generation to water supply and salmon restoration in the region.
The ministry says in a news release that U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration “is conducting a broad review of its international engagement.”
The two countries reached an in-principle deal on a new version of the decades-old treaty last July, and while officials from both countries pushed for its finalization before Trump took office in January, the treaty’s fate remains unsettled.
The stoppage in talks comes amid trade tensions between Canada and the United States, and the Globe and Mail newspaper reported that Trump called the treaty unfair to the United States in a call with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in February.
Last year, Trump mused about a “very large faucet” that could be diverted to the U.S. While the faucet is fiction, questions about what will happen next for the 61-year-old water treaty under renegotiation are very real.
Treaty termination takes 10 years
Since 1964, the treaty has required Canada to control the flow of the river via dams to meet U.S. needs for hydropower and flood prevention. The treaty also obliges the U.S to give Canada half the additional potential hydroelectric power produced by treaty dams, which can be sold at market value.
Whether you love or hate President Trump does not matter. We are not here to endorse or decry his administration. As Ambassadors to the Kingdom of Yehovah, we are to look at all the world through the glasses of Yehovah’s prophecies. In the middle of all of this Ella Morgan one of our Executives shared a study she did with ChatGPT and I have not been able to stop thinking about it. I am now going to share that with you.
What is the great mountain spoken of in Revelation 8:8
ChatGPT said:
In Revelation 8:8, the verse reads:“The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood.” (NIV)
The “great mountain” mentioned here is generally interpreted as a symbol rather than a literal mountain. There are a few possible interpretations:
Symbol of a Kingdom or Power: Many scholars interpret the “great mountain” as a metaphor for a powerful kingdom, empire, or significant political entity. The imagery of a mountain “thrown into the sea” could symbolize a great force or power that will be cast down or destroyed, with consequences that affect the broader world (the sea turning to blood).
Asteroid or Meteor Impact: Another interpretation is that the “great mountain” could represent a literal celestial body, like an asteroid or meteor, which impacts the earth, bringing disaster and destruction. In this view, the mountain being “all ablaze” could suggest a fiery object crashing into the sea.
Symbolic of Judgment: In the broader context of the book of Revelation, which is rich in symbolism and apocalyptic imagery, the “great mountain” may symbolize God’s judgment. The sea often represents chaos, and the turning of a third of it into blood could point to a devastating divine judgment affecting the natural world.
Each interpretation depends on the approach taken—whether a literal, historical, or symbolic reading of the passage.
Also, concerning the ships: a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.” (NIV)
The reference to ships in this verse can be understood in a couple of ways:
1. Symbol of Commerce and Trade
In the context of ancient times, ships were primarily used for trade and transportation. The destruction of a third of the ships could symbolize a major disruption to global commerce and trade. This could be a reference to the economic devastation that would occur during the events of the apocalypse. Since ships were the primary means of transporting goods across seas, their destruction would have far-reaching consequences, affecting the livelihoods and economies of many nations.
2. Symbol of People or Nations
Some interpretations view the ships symbolically as representing nations, peoples, or groups that are affected by the judgment described in Revelation. Ships in the ancient world were often associated with the power, wealth, and stability of a nation or empire. Their destruction could symbolize the fall or judgment of powerful nations or empires during the apocalyptic period.
3. Literal Interpretation
A more literal interpretation could be that this refers to actual ships being destroyed by the impact of the “great mountain” (the fiery object thrown into the sea). The destruction of ships could represent the chaos and natural disasters that accompany God’s judgment in the apocalyptic vision, leading to the death of both marine life and the disruption of maritime activity.
4. Judgment and Loss of Security
In apocalyptic literature, ships can also be symbols of human security and stability, especially in a world where sea travel was essential for survival and prosperity. The destruction of ships could symbolize the collapse of human efforts to maintain order, control, and security in the face of divine judgment.
In all interpretations, the imagery of the ships’ destruction emphasizes the severity of the judgment and the far-reaching impact of the event, affecting not just the natural world (the sea and creatures) but also human systems of commerce, travel, and power.
The sea is often referred to as peoples in the Bible. So what Ella has shared seems to fit exactly what is now going on with world tariff wars. The disruption of trade has already been felt in the stock markets. Is this the key to understanding how the Great USA, the Great Mountain is going to fall into the sea ablaze?
It also ties into the great sea monster Cetus, coming to kill Andromeda who represents Israel when she is chained to the rock, raped, beaten, destitute and near death just before being rescued by Yehshua.
Here is another search Ella did on this same subject. Notice the date of March 4, 2025.

Another AI: Oniyah – The Hebrew for ships in Rev 8:9. The verse refers to the destruction of a third of the ships, which suggests economic and commercial upheaval. Some interpretors take the ships to represent churches.Sightedmoon.com Channel, [2025-03-04 11:16 PM]
GPT 4.5,says: Revelation 8:9 states:“And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.” (ESV)
The verse is part of the second trumpet judgment in the Book of Revelation. In this passage, something like a great burning mountain (possibly a meteor, volcanic eruption, or other catastrophic event) is cast into the sea, causing massive destruction.
The reference to “ships” in this verse likely represents maritime commerce, naval power, and trade. In biblical times, ships were essential for transporting goods and people across the Mediterranean and other bodies of water. The destruction of a third of the ships suggests a significant blow to global trade and economic stability in the end times.
Symbolically, this could represent a judgment on human commerce and industry, showing how earthly systems are vulnerable to divine intervention. Some interpretations also connect it to historical or future naval disasters, wars, or economic collapses.

The Diseases Are Coming
Elon Musk’s slash-and-burn government tear will have lasting effects on global health.
What most people in the world and especailly the people of the USA dont know , is that its not a DOGE strategy that is causing the financial ruin to develop. Its the settling of the 2015 bankruptcy chapter 7 of the territorial government administration used to be run by the Vatican . This bankruptcy proceeding is now in its liquidation phase , the final part of a forced bankruptcy. See how it works by looking up bankruptcy chapter 7 on google. We are not being told the truth about this rampage through our assets and administrations. We have been duped to think we were the people still in charge of our credit and our administrators but since 1871 the republic went mothball . Many are now reconstructing the dejure republic but may be too late)or just in time Yah wiling) . This financai system will collapse on is own weight regardless as US inc was dismantled and liquidated just recently . The Doge is a front for the executives(president ) trusty fiduciary responsibilities to oversee and implement the final phases . This is what is happening .
We KNOW this is Yahs timely doing due to our neglect of Keeping his will for such a long grace period. But the People of this world should know WHY , its not the “saviors” of the US inc and USA (British Municipal Admins) Incs doing , its our fault for not watching them and vetting the types of people who run our governments all over the world. Yah said what our selected leaders would do to us if we rejected GOD , well here we are…. judgement time.

The newsletter two weeks ago said March 1st was the 1st day of Abib. But this newsletter says Saturday evening is Passover dinner?
Saturday is the 15 day of Abib.
I thought Friday night is the Passover meal?
Friday evening march 14 is last supper and foot washing.
Saturday march 15 is crucifixion day with Yehshua dying at 3 pm.
Saturday evening is the Passover meal eaten after sunset on Saturday evening with unleavened bread. This is the start of the seven days of unleavened bread.
Sunday Nisan 15 is march 16 is wave sheaf day beginning night before when you ate Passover meal.
The Passover meal is eaten at the transition between the 14th and 15th day… in other words, immediately at the start of the 15th day, which is the 1st day of Unleavened bread (a High Sabbath). The 14th day is when one prepares for the Passover (a working day).
For western believers who are familiar with events of the first four books of the New Testament, there is an assumption that the last meal that Jesus had with his disciples was Passover. Although this is taught by many, it is an incorrect teaching. There was no mention of lamb, bitter herbs, or unleavened bread at this last meal together. In fact, Jesus announces that he will not be able to eat Passover with them until things that need to be done are done (ie: He will eat Passover with us at the Wedding Supper of the Lamb). For further research, this last meal that he was having is known as the Fast of the Firstborn, due to the price that the firstborn of Egypt paid for the Hebrews.
If one pays close attention to the crucifixion events of Jesus during the 24 hours of the day of preparation which is Passover, parallel events are happening with the animal lambs at the same time. The animal lambs are also being inspected and slaughtered at the same time as the Lamb of God is being slaughtered on the cross.
After the crucifixion, as the day of Passover comes to an end, there is a rush to get the bodies off out of sight before everyone sits down in each of their own homes to eat the Passover at the start of the High Sabbath, which is the 1st day of Unleavened Bread.
I hope this rather lengthy explanation helps, and may you have a meaningful and rewarding Passover meal this evening.
Mike,
No we DO NOT EAT the Passover on the 15th! This is against the command. The command states to eat the Passover on the 14th day of the month between the evenings and no leftovers; they must be burned with fire.
Passover = 14th DAY ( Leviticus 23:5) slaughter is between the evenings on the 14th ( at twilight), set Passover lamb blood on lintels, death of the firstborn was at 12 midnight;therefore, the command not to leave the house. Must eat that Night ( the 14th), roasted by fire ( no boiling), no breaking a bone, We must burn leftovers not allowing any to REMAIN until morning. Forbidden to leave the threshold of the door until morning.
Day of Unleavened Bread = 15th DAY ( Leviticus 23: 6-8) they left the house in the morning, spoiled the Egyptians and Yah brought them out of Egypt by NIGHT on the 15th, the next night.
They shall observe and eat it on the 14th day at twilight:
Leviticus 23:5
5 Yehovah’s Passover is on the fourteenth day of the first month fnat twilight.
Second Passover same: Numbers 9:11,
11 ‘On the fourteenth day of the second month at twilight, they shall observe it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
Eat at night, roasted in fire ( not boiled), no breaking a bone, Blood on door lintels, leave nothing behind at sunrise. Anything left burn with fire.
Exodus 12
7 ‘Moreover, they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel [above the door] of the houses in which they eat it.
8 ‘They shall eat the meat that same night, roasted in fire, and they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
9 ‘Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water, but roasted in fire—both its head and its legs, along with its inner parts.
10 ‘You shall let none of the meat remain until the morning, and anything that remains left over until morning, you shall burn completely in the fire.
Why do we put blood on the door on the 14th ?
Midnight 14th:
Exodus 12
4 ¶ Then Moses said, “Thus says the LORD: ‘At midnight I am going out into the midst of Egypt,
5 and all the firstborn in the land [the pride, hope, and joy] of Egypt shall die,
12 ‘For I [Yehovah] will pass through the land of Egypt on this night, and will strike down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and animal; against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments [exhibiting their worthlessness]. I am Yehovah.
13 ‘The blood shall be a sign for you on [the doorposts of] the houses where you live; when I see the blood I shall pass over you, and no affliction shall happen to you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
Why Passover sacrifice on 14th?
Exodus 12
27 you shall say, ‘It is the sacrifice of the Yehovah’s Passover, for He passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians, but spared our houses.’” And the people bowed [their heads] low and worshiped [God].
Leave nothing until morning
Numbers 9:12
12 ‘They shall leave none of it until morning nor break any of its bones; in accordance with all the statutes of the Passover they shall observe it.
COMMAND Must not leave house until morning ( sunrise ).
Exodus 12
22 “You shall take a bunch of fnhyssop, dip it in the blood which is in the basin, and touch some of the blood to the lintel [above the doorway] and to the two doorposts; and none of you shall go outside the door of his house until morning.
Israel spoiled the Egyptians the next morning (when they were allowed to leave their houses).
Exodus 12
36 Yehovah gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they gave them what they asked. And so they plundered the Egyptians [of those things].
The departed Egypt on the 15th at NIGHT.
Exodus 12
17 ‘You shall also observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, because on this very day I brought your hosts [grouped according to tribal armies] out of the land of Egypt; therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as an ordinance forever.
You have misunderstood many things Michelle. We have gone over this 100 times in our newsletters and on Shabbat. It would be better to study those things than to argue now with you. The Egyptians were plundered before the Passover evening. The between the evenings is at the end of the 14th and the start of the 15th. They left Egypt in the early morning of the 15th the next morning. We will be reading about this on our High Holy Day tomorrow.
SCENARIO # 2
In an effort to ammend this glaring problem some Messianic believers have moved the Passover to the evening at the start of the 14th rather than the end to celebrate the Passover according to Exodus 12:42.
“It is a night to be observed unto YHWH for bringing them out of the land of Mitsrayim. This night is unto YHWH, to be observed by all the children of Yisra’ĕl throughout their generations.” (Exodus 12:42)
This practice however presents another difficulty in itself by leaving 12-24 hours of nothing before the 15th when the 7 days of unleavened bread is to be honoured. If one continued unleavened bread from the beginning of Passover to the 21st as commanded in Exodus then one would end up with 8 days of unleavened bread!
Exodus 12:18-19 “In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the month in the evening. 19 ‘For seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses…”

PS it’s midrash not arguing
Michelle) You are correct and Joseph F. Dumond has gotten it wrong (Sorry Joe.).
Start by reading Exo_12:18 ‘In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the new moon, in the evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the new moon in the evening. If you count your days, you get 8 days. That’s two festivals. Passover on the “14th” that is a day. Festival of Unleavened bread is 7 days (15th to the 21st). So, the 14th day to the 21st day equals…? 14th (day 1), 15th (day 2)…, 21st day equals??? 8 days not 7.
Wow, bless you joseph. Dang i get so tearey eyed i cant see. The short videos give me tears of joy. You work so hard and others with you. In all the face book comments on torah and religion i say go to sightedmoon, see where we are. Could you do a 15 minit on the chart and why we need torah. Those little flash drives are so cheap i could load many and pass them out. It’s fearfull to read esdras 2, only a drop in a wave will make it in the kingdom, so little and so little time. Give all those who helped you a big hug from me!
Shalom Joseph:
As I aged (I’m 78) I began having to urinate more. Eventually needing to go once an hour. Not good for long driving trips – like the ones you take. Story short, my doctor prescribed ALFUZOSIN. It’s reduced my trips to the out house by half. You’re obviously under a lot of stress, watch your cholesterol, BP, weight – all that stuff! Shelepping the Good News 24/7 can take it out of you brother. I began watching sightedmoon.com in 2008 where I learned about the Shimita and Yovel years. Why didn’t the SDA Church, where I was a member, teach us about that, and a whole lot more? This was the start of a spiritual journey. Though I don’t agree with some things you teach. (We keep the Hillel calendar), I certainly have to thank you for what you’re putting out there and the changes it’s making in peoples lives. From Oregon. Peter Smith
If your savior is the US Gov or US A I D, or another agency of the US Gov, your trust is misplaced. YHWH says If you will give earnest heed to the voice of YHWH your God and do what is right in His sight, and give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I, YHWH am your healer. EX 15:26
But you shall serve YHWH your God and He will bless your bread and your water; and I will remove sickness from your midst. EX 23:25
President Trump’s speech on March 4 2025, in which the President details $2,264,250,000 of wasteful and fraudulent spending:

Many like me used to follow blindly teachers and their teachings that Yehshua and the Apostles ate the Passover on the night of the last supper. Which is methodicaly false.
Also alleging He even took part in the passover.
I kindly wish people take root by visiting sightedmoon website and learn from Joe Dumond. Shalom!
Shabat Shalum ,good reads as usual but I don’t trust Spencer’s writings because he just lost 250 million that was given to Brown University by NIH.
I had made a reply to Ms. Michelle commit in support of her statement on 3/17/2024, and it had posted. But now it disappeared, so what gives?
