The document discusses methods for determining the start of the Hebrew calendar year based on solar observations as practiced in Moses' time. It describes how the vernal equinox and new moons could be used to mark the beginning of months and years by observing the sun's alignment at certain locations like the Temple Mount. Ancient structures like pyramids and obelisks that were aligned with solar events provide evidence this was a common practice in Egyptian culture during Moses' era. Maintaining a lunisolar calendar requires occasionally adding months to synchronize it with the solar year.
The document summarizes key physical characteristics of the moon and discusses its creation according to the Genesis account. It notes that the moon revolves around Earth in a sidereal month of 27.3217 days and a synodic period from new moon to new moon of 29.53 days. The Genesis creation story is presented as making as much sense as any other theory for the moon's origin. Worship of the moon as a deity dates back to ancient Sumer and spread to influence many cultures. The Bible warns against worshipping the moon or denying God, which can lead to losing touch with reality.
Astrology and biblical astronomy both study celestial bodies, but with key differences. Astrology believes celestial positions influence human lives, while biblical astronomy views bodies as signs reflecting God's light. The Zodiac signs used in astrology date to Roman times and have shifted about one sign from when the constellations were actually created. Biblical astronomy aligns the Hebrew calendar and feasts like Passover with the constellations' positions at significant historical events like Jesus's crucifixion. Revelation predicts future apocalyptic signs involving eclipses and comets.

The document discusses differing views on when the lunar month begins - at the conjunction or sighting of the first crescent moon. It notes problems with views that the month begins and ends on the day of conjunction, as this would result in months of 30-31 days rather than the required 29-30. It also presents evidence that the month historically ended at conjunction, and proposes a "bookend model" using both conjunction and crescent sightings to accurately determine the first day of the month.

The Mayan calendar, also known as the Long Count, is a complex system used by the Maya to track time based on astronomical observations and astrological significance. It contains three main elements - a base date of August 11, 3114 BC, grouping time into multiples of 13 and 20 like the 260-day cycle, and an astrological component. The Long Count precisely measures time in cycles, with the current cycle ending on December 21, 2012 when the winter solstice aligns with the Milky Way, an important date in Mayan mythology marking the end of the current world age and the precession cycle of around 25,695 years.
This document provides an overview of ancient calendars and how they were based on astronomical cycles of the sun, moon, and stars. It discusses key features of early calendars like the Egyptian, Julian, and Gregorian calendars. It also summarizes lunar calendars like the Islamic and lunisolar calendars like the Babylonian and Hebrew calendars. The document explores how calendars have evolved over time to account for the irregularities in astronomical cycles and seasonal changes.
The Mayan calendar consisted of multiple dating systems used by the ancient Mayans, including the Calendar Round, Long Count Calendar, and Lunar Series. The Mayans were skilled astronomers and mathematicians who used glyphs and observations of the sky, including the sun, moon, and planet Venus, to track time and develop their complex calendars. Their calendars gave structure to religious and cultural events and predicted astronomical phenomena like the 2012 phenomenon associated with the Long Count Calendar.
This document provides an overview of different calendar systems used throughout history, with a focus on the Jewish calendar. It describes how the Jewish calendar is a lunisolar system that combines lunar and solar cycles to ensure religious festivals occur during the appropriate seasons. Key aspects of the Jewish calendar system include a 19-year cycle to keep months aligned with seasons, months alternating between 29 and 30 days, and adjustments to avoid certain holy days falling on Shabbat. The origins of the Jewish calendar are uncertain but it was formalized in the 400s CE and likely incorporated elements from the ancient Babylonian calendar during the Jewish exile in Babylon.
Twin Birthdays: Bringing two calendars togetherNicola Daniels
The document summarizes the significance of the birthdays of the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh falling on the 1st and 2nd day, respectively, of the month of Muharram in the Islamic lunar calendar. It explains that while the Islamic lunar calendar is shorter than the Gregorian solar calendar, the births occurred exactly one and two lunar cycles after the new year, highlighting their spiritual station. The proximity of their birthdays at the start of the lunar cycle and Islamic new year, when fighting is forbidden, fulfills prophecies of twin manifestations ushering in a new religion of peace and justice.
The document discusses the different types of months used in astronomy and calendars. It defines the sidereal, tropical, anomalistic, and draconic months based on the moon's orbit and position relative to celestial objects. The synodic month of approximately 29.5 days, based on the moon's phases as seen from Earth, is the basis for most calendars. The document also summarizes several lunar-based, lunisolar, and solar calendars such as the Hebrew, Islamic, and Gregorian calendars, noting how they divide the year into months.
The document discusses the origins of modern time measurement. It explains that the earliest methods used observation of celestial bodies like the sun, moon, and stars to track time. The Egyptians were early adopters of time measurement, dividing daylight into 12 hours and assigning each hour the name of a celestial body. This system influenced the modern names of days of the week. The document also provides details on the origins of hours, days, months and calendars.

This document discusses calendars and how they relate to culture and society. It provides definitions of culture and calendars, and explains how different cultures track time using solar calendars, lunar calendars, and lunisolar calendars. Singapore recognizes holidays from various religious traditions through its calendar, which is reflected in its multicultural society. Movable festivals like Chinese New Year shift from year to year depending on lunar cycles and seasons. Calendars aim to synchronize astronomical cycles but require intercalation to harmonize mismatches between whole numbers and irrational periods of time.
The document discusses the astronomical basis of Indian festivals. It explains that many Indian festivals are timed according to the lunar calendar and movements of the sun and moon. The Vikrami lunar-solar calendar is used to determine the dates of festivals like Diwali, Dussehra, and Holi by identifying the tithi (lunar day) that falls on or near equinoxes and solstices. Festivals like Mahashivratri are celebrated on specific lunar days that occur near the end of the annual cycle, helping to track the passage of time according to astronomical observations.
The document discusses various ancient calendars including the Egyptian, Julian, Gregorian, Islamic, Babylonian, and Hebrew calendars. It explains that most calendars were based on lunar, solar, or lunisolar astronomical cycles and notes the challenges of representing fractional relationships between months, days, and years. The document then provides more details on specific calendars, how they addressed issues like drift over time, and how some like the Hebrew calendar evolved from a real-time observational system to a calculated system.
The document contains multiple choice questions about astronomy topics such as the moon's phases and motions, eclipses, and seasons. It tests understanding of relationships between the sun, earth and moon positions and motions. Correct answers are given for each question to check one's knowledge of how and why astronomical phenomena occur.
This chapter discusses the biblical concept of appointed times or seasons (moedim) that were connected to the lunar cycle. It explains how the Hebrew calendar was based on the moon's phases from new moon to full moon over approximately 29.5 days. Special feasts and offerings were given at the new moon. The moon's cycle of renewing itself every month is likened to how Israel (and believers) are renewed after going through dark periods. The chapter suggests we may be entering a new season of revelation based on it being approximately 2000 years (2 days in God's timeframe) since Jesus' death and resurrection, corresponding to the moon renewing itself on the third day. It indicates the importance of two witnesses signaling the

Many people visit beaches in August to escape the summer heat.
The rare Black Moon phenomenon will occur on September 30th, 2022 for the Western Hemisphere. A Black Moon is a second new moon that occurs in the same calendar month, which happens every 32 months on average. While it is a natural astronomical event explained by the lunar cycle not perfectly aligning with the calendar month, some religious groups believe the recent solar eclipse and upcoming Black Moon are signs of an impending apocalypse. The Black Moon itself will be invisible to the naked eye since a new moon is completely dark.
This document provides information about the month of August. It discusses that August is the eighth month of the year between July and September, with 31 days.

The Babylonians are credited with developing the earliest forms of astrology over 2,000 years ago as a way to predict seasonal changes and celestial events. They introduced astrology to the Greeks, who embraced it as a science and spread it throughout the world. Originally used for agriculture and weather prediction, astrology evolved to include predicting natural disasters, wars, and providing counsel to rulers. The zodiac developed in ancient Egypt and was adopted by Babylonians, who assigned 12 constellations and their associated animals/figures to the progression of the seasons and months it takes the sun to return to its original position. Astrologers believe the sun, moon, and five known planets have distinct powers and influence areas of life and personality traits
Scientists discovered water and volatile elements trapped in crystals inside volcanic glass beads returned from the moon by Apollo 17. This challenges assumptions about how the moon formed and the origin of its water. Samples indicate the moon's interior is similar to Earth's in water abundance. Researchers found concentrations of water and elements in lunar magma are nearly identical to concentrations in solidified magma from Earth's mid-ocean ridges. This discovery strengthens the theory that the moon and Earth have a common origin but forces reconsideration of the current theory of lunar formation from a huge impact on early Earth.

A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
1. Equinox (interval 365.2422 days) by Solar Alignment Observation
God, through Moses, ordained the first month of the Jewish calendar year
to start in spring. Many writers consider the date of this first month start as
a great mystery.
The Hebrew word for 'month' and 'new moon' are interchangeable and
translated by context. Each new moon was to be celebrated by trumpets;
Nu10:10, Ps81:3, 2Ch2:4.
This was practiced from Moses, at least thru the time of Paul's epistles,
Col2:16. The ancient means to select when the 1st month of each new year
started has been avidly discussed by many writers.
This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first
month of the year to you.... keep this ordinance in ITS SEASON from year
to year, Ex12:2,13:10 .
And Moses was learned in ALL the wisdom of the Egyptians... Acts 7:22
Indeed it is a mystery, if the ancient‟s time keeping method of simple
alignment is not understood. Much ink has been used talking of the Barley
harvest.

But finding the first solar month could
be accomplished from the Temple
Mount by watching where the sunrise
happened in east upon Mount Olivet.
This is illustrated in the prior picture.
Another method is to use a gnomon or
obelisk. This was widely employed by
the Egyptian culture to find time,
direction and seasons. The method is
illustrated by the attached pictures.
During desert travels, after the
Exodus, the tabernacle was to be
erected with principle ordinates.

OBSERVATIONAL HEBREW YEAR OF MOSES by O.P. Armstrong July - 2016
The Mosaic holidays revolved around spring and autumn.
Three main holidays were given by Moses. First was Passover,
with main dates on 10th and 14th day of first month. Next
was Pentecost, Lev23:16, Count fifty days to the day after
the seventh Sabbath; then you shall offer.... The last as: „In
the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall
have a Sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets...
Lev23:24. Marking years were mandated by the Sabbath or
7th year and Jubilee or 50th year.
The Sothic calendar system (365 days, circa 3,000BC) started
at Heliacal rising of Sirius upon Summer Solstice, June20 +/-
. They Intercalated the last days of a year. The current
rabbinical calendar, has 365.2468days/Year. Only the 1st to
7th months were critical to the ancient Hebrew calendar. The
time after the 12th month unto the start of the next year
new month could be counted as intercalated days, with an
ignored month, if only interested in months 1 to 7.
The Egyptian culture (of Moses time) used such methods as
illustrated by the Pyramid alignments on principle
ordinates. Many other ancient cultures also used monument
markers to mark the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn,
and winter.

Another way is to make an extra long 12th
month. No where in bible is mention of a
13th month, hence Adar2. But these leap
months are required for a lunisolar
calendar. A new year should start in first
lunar month where the 14th lunar day falls
on or after the spring equinox. This makes
"days per year cycles" of 353/355 and
383/385 days. About every 3rd year will be
a leap year of about 384 days. Counting of
these days fall into 3 methods. Strictly
observational says watch for the time of
equinox, then look for the new moon. The
length of lunar cycle (29/30 days) and of
solar year (365 days) are well known. Thus
by these facts an end of year calculation
can be made for when to declare the first
new moon of the new year. Finally there is
the molad method of the rabbinical
calendar, 365.2468day/Year, vs. Gregorian
of 365.2425 d/Y.
Bible Basis of 12 Months:
1Kgs4:7 “... twelve officers over all
Israel... each man his month in a year...”
1Ch27, 12months1year, “all the months of
the year...The twelfth captain for the
twelfth month.” The sacred duties were
divided into 24 groups, this suggests
rotation of a group every 2 weeks.
Twelfth month: had at least 27 days as seen by 2Kg25:27, it
was given the name of Adar, see Est3:7&13,8:12,9:1. Here an
eleventh month of 29 days is found by inclusive count,
Neh6:15, 52 less 25 days equal 27 plus the start stop days of 2
gives 29 days. Also in story of Noah are found 5 months of 30
days each, Gen7:11,24 & 8:3-4. This indicates bible months
are lunar months. For the lunar month must alternate 29 and
30 days to match the 29.5 days of average lunar period.

Marking time by equinox of the two seasons has the
least long term jitter. Long term Jitter is caused by
earth polar precession, as demonstrated by below
graphic. Moses used the most stable year start marker.

Marking Years by Astronomical Moments of Equinox and New Moon. The first new moon of each
new year is selected so the 14th day (full moon) must fall on or after the Spring Equinox. This
causes the lunar months to cycle in a progression of 400 Years of 12 lunar months to about 233
years of 13 lunar months. By using observation, the years of 12 and 13 moons will be
automatically selected from the determination rule. Over increasing intervals (19,38,190,391) the
average length of a year will trend towards 365.2422 days. This is demonstrated by graph above.

The Solar Lunar cycles are times periods that give
repeating calendar cycles. The older cycles are the Saros,
(18 Year) and Metonic, 19Y. Some other whole year cycles
are Half Sar, 9Yr, Unidos, 65Y, 176Y, 298Y. Longer Cycles
are Trihex, 195Y, Hipparchus, 345Y, Gregorian1, 353Y,
Gregoriana 372Y, Hexdodea 390Y, Grattan Guinness
391Y, Gregorian2, 725Y, 1042Y.Any multiple of smaller
cycles can be tried, like double basic 1042Y.
Meton's cycle of 19 years harmonizes the solar year (19 solar years)
with the lunar month (235 lunar months) with a remainder of about 2
hours and 3 minutes by which the solar year finishes earlier than the
lunar. Another cycle is 190 or 10 Metons.
M. de Cheseaux's cycle of 315 years harmonizes the solar and
lunar years within 3 hours and 24 minutes. The Metonic 19-year
cycle gets rid of most of it's remainder in a larger Biblical cycle of
2,300 years, Dan8:14.
Cheseaux's cycle, 315 years, is one quarter of a larger Biblical
cycle of 1,260 years (Dan. 8:12; 12:7; Rev. 12:6,14) which is ten
times more accurate than Meton's cycle. After 1260 years the sun
and moon return, within less than half a degree, to the same point
of the ecliptic precisely, and that within an hour of each other. If
we subtract 1260 from 2300 we get 1040 which is the long-
awaited solar-lunar cycle that harmonizes all three
measurements: the year, month and day "with an almost
imperceptible error" (Error is .11 of a day, Parker's Celestial
Cycles, p.22). In fact, this 1040 year "Daniel Cycle" reaches an
error of one day in 15,056 years. Every 687 years the sun and
the moon come back into the same relative positions to within 43
minutes. In 1906, Dr. W. Bell Dawson discovered that the
average of 2300 and 1260 lunar years, or 1780 lunar years, was
almost exactly equal to 1727 solar years, giving a cycle of even
higher accuracy than the 1040 "Daniel Cycle." The most accurate
anomalistic cycle (the time it takes for the moon to return to the
corresponding point on its elliptical orbit), viz. 1336, is the
difference between 1727 and 391. (see Soli-Lunar Cycles In
Greek Research and Jewish Revelation by Walter S. Ridgway,
UBC, 1946).

The Gnomon or Obelisk
is an astronomical
measurement device.
The solar alignments
are the main aspect to
determine seasons.
This is possible
because of the orbital
layout. These facts are
shown here in theory
and in practice.
Omitted here but given
earlier is the BAY tool to
improve shadow
definition. Without that
Egyptian tool, the
accuracy is decreased
as suggested by some.
In church times these
are used in order to
better calculate the
astronomical event of
EASTER. See next slide.

The Gnomon of Saint-
Sulpice is an astronomical
measurement device
located in the Church of
Saint-Sulpice (Église Saint-
Sulpice) in Paris, France. It
is a gnomon, a device
designed to cast a shadow
on the ground in order to
determine the position of
the sun in the sky. In early
modern times, other
gnomons were also built in
several Italian and French
churches in order to better
calculate the astronomical
event of EASTER.

Cambodia, Angkor Wat
On the morning of the spring
equinox, the sun rises up the side
of the central tower of the temple
and crowns its pinnacle.
El Castillo, Mexico
One of the most famous ancient
spring equinox celebrations was
the Mayan pyramid in Chichen
Itza, Mexico. The pyramid, also
known as El Castillo, has four
staircases running from the top to
the bottom of the pyramid's
faces. The staircases were built
at a carefully calculated angle so
that at the precise moment of the
equinox and for a period of about
half an hour, a snake of sunlight
appears to slither down the
stairs. The Kukulkan appears
twice a year, on the spring and
autumn equinox, when day and
night, light and dark, are equal
and in balance.

In the 4 Corners area exist solar monuments left
by Anasia tribes. Shown to the left is the sun
dagger design at Fajada Butte in Chaco Culture
National Historical Park. Many other monuments
like Pinson mounds West Tenn., Mounds at Earle

show how ancient peoples accurately tracked the
seasons by observation without calculators and
equations. 12
