Sabbath August 22, 2026

Good morning and a happy Sabbath to you All!

We hope the thought of the next new moon and the Feast of Trumpets has renewed your anticipation during this long summer stretch of waiting for the festivals of the 7th month.

Some are asking about the recent rains in the Land and their impact? Simply put they have no impact on the start of the Abib Growing Cycle for 2026/2027. These are not germinating rains by any means or stretch of the imagination let alone the facts associated with that pattern in the agricultural world.

Once these rains ceased the heat and wind once again did their jobs of sucking up anything above ground that may have puddled. Note the areas of rainfall. Those are all associated with very rocky and sandy soils except for a small area in the Golan. All are home to goat grass which may have some of the worshipers of such to have some sort of morbid excitement about nothing.

And yes, to answer another question we will pick up our early rain monitoring in October once again this year. As most of you know, it is the Biblically prepared and planted, agricultural fields that receive those early rains, which then germinate at that time and sequentially will be the locations of the First of the Firstfruit barley harvest.

Thank you for loving Father and Son.

Our peace we give to you!
