Tuesday September 15, 2026: Hypocrites

Hi Brethren,

We hope you had a wonderful start to the Biblical 7th month. We did.

But now it is time to deal with some disgusting business in the Body and out of it. Very emblematic of satan still being around after Trumpets but being put away on Atonement.

Biblical Calendar fools just can’t keep their mouths shut when it comes to a perceived self justification. They trip over themselves to be the first to put out inaccurate and deceptive determinations.

Let me be absolutely clear, this is directed at those who profess to use the land of Israel for their only location to sight the first crescent, be it on the 29th or 30th day.

There are many brothers and sisters who use local observation of which many are my friends. This has nothing to do with their methodology and faithful acceptance of the local standard for starting a new Biblical Month.

I am directing this at the hypocrites who profess to use the boundaries of the Promised Land. That applies to whether you are in Christianity or Judaism. A hypocrite is a hypocrite regardless of the flavor.

Hypocritical fools are always trying every possible way to justify their actions whether in error or not. That invokes the Biblical understanding of “swallowing camels and straining gnats.”

As I mentioned the other day, lets watch and see what these types do with the INMS report. I already knew what would happen as it is a pattern of these types to claw at anything to justify their deceptive actions. I will get to the INMS report shortly.

Let me first address the recently resurrected Nehemia doctrine of potential visibility. This simply means if the crescent could have been seen on the 29th day of its cycle and for some reason like clouds or haze blocking that then it is to be declared a start to the new month anyway, in spite of the fact there is still one more day in the cycle set by our Elohim. Whom by the way, control all of the meteorological conditions that affect visibility on either day.

So now we see these folks claiming that the crescent on this past 30th day was way too big to be a first crescent thus declaring it should have been the previous night justifying a sketchy at best report. You can’t make this degree of arrogant stupidity up!

Let us for a moment say yes, it was too big for a 30th day crescent like they are professing, which has no Biblical backing and as you will see astronomical backing either.

What does that do to past 30th day declarations of similar or larger 30th day crescents?

According to them, throw them out and go back and accept the 29th day regardless. If that’s the new criteria hypocrites want to use then let me help you with your correction effort of the past. Just the recent past.

For your baseline use the visibility for this past 30th day. It was 233.9 on the chart we use.

By the way what is your new minimum crescent size now that you have established a new determining factor? Please tell us all.

These are some of the declared 30-day crescent sizes below from just the recent past:

6/16/26 visibility size 237.9 declared the start of a new month.

5/20/26 visibility size 241.2 declared the start of a new month.

1/20/26 visibility size 223.7 declared the start of a new month.

5/28/25 visibility size 252.0 declared the start of a new month.

5/9/24 visibility size 236.5 declared the start of a new month.

2/11/24 visibility size 268.6 declared the start of a new month.

The list can go on and on. Yes, we do keep records. They are the memory of the Calendar process. No revisionist cheating, eh!

Now let’s move forward for a few upcoming 30-day sighting sizes.

2/8/27 visibility size will be 249.2

4/8/27 visibility size will be 245.2

10/2/27 visibility size will be 261.7

I can continue on but I think you folks who actually think for yourselves can see what is going on here. For those who have adopted this new (actually old) rule of potential visibility why don’t you just declare these upcoming months as 29 day ones now? Hmmmmmm!

I will not let anyone forget you already said that is the case because the visible crescent will be too big on the 30th day by your new rule, thus they must be declared for the 29th day.

That’s kind of like Judaism’s predetermined sequence of months regardless of the facts in the heavens being 29 or 30 days.

Once again, what is the new acceptable size of a crescent on the 30th day hypocrites?

Actually, you fall under Paul’s designation of having spiritual stupor, be you in Judaism or Christianity.

What a disgusting sham!

Unfortunately, many in the Body are buying into it without a moment’s hesitation. That is scary.

Now for the INMS report. Let’s start with the hypocrites accepting it once again as their savior.

Until recently they were all in accord that the use of optics was not acceptable. Especially if the viewer used the optics to locate it first. But it also entailed the use of them to confirm its visibility. The rules were simple, if you can’t positively identify it as a crescent with your own eyes it was not a viable sighting. To confirm your eyes were not playing tricks on you and using binoculars or some other optical aid was not acceptable.

So, what happened to all of that in this recent escapade of deception? Hypocrite is a gentle term for you.

Let me state very clearly that Roy Hoffman is the father of modern crescent sighting in Israel on any major scale. Probably on the scale of 30+ years. Just for your record there have been members of the Body doing so in Israel for a lot longer than that.

I have spotted with Roy in the past in Israel. I know his methodology quite well. He is a scientist. He is a man of integrity. Roy will do all the calculations as to where the moon will be at the exact time of sunset. That is why you saw his initial timing with optical aids was at 18:48. He has his binoculars set up on the tripod looking at that exact piece of the sky he knows where the descending moon is by his calculations. He then locates it with the optics and attempts to see it with his eyes. Sometimes that works right away and at others it is a waiting game of continuing with the same process. That is pretty much restricted to the evening of the 29th day.

He was able to locate it with his eyes at 19:00. That could never have happened without the optical aid assistance. It may never have happened with this short window on Saturday night with the haze and the clouds which started uniting and building bigger in the exact area of moon set since late afternoon. Often when using optical aids, one thinks they see it with their naked eye afterwards. Try it yourself and see exactly what I mean.

There were 18 of us watching it take place from 3 different angles of clarity Saturday. We all saw exactly where the clouds climbed to as well as the haze. No breaks in any of the cloud mass in the area of moon set on the horizon upward for 3 fingers from the north, south, and central cameras. That is a simple fact. Above that, the sky was very bright still, right up until the descending moon would have entered behind the cloud mass.

The question is simple; would the witness posted by the INMS be an acceptable standard for a Temple witness? As the saying goes; not a chance in hell. Thus, do we accept it? You have to make that call.

This once again has put a real damper on sighting from the Land. Shameful behavior.

Continuing with this unusual INMS reporting event, let me ask you when the last time was that you saw Roy allowed to report? I know the answer, but I am asking you to do some homework here. In fact, some of you will say I have never seen his name listed in the reporting forms the INMS puts out. Imagine that.

Now ask yourself why was Roy allowed to be included in this report in which none of the usual witnesses could see the crescent on Saturday after sunset?

Once again this is a disgrace. However, the bigger disgrace is those who call themselves brethren holding up bogus reports to start the 7th Month from Israel. It is sickening.

For you Brethren who use local sighting here in the US, I did sight the crescent from Middle TN for about 3 minutes Saturday evening. It is the smallest sliver of light I have ever been able to see here. I almost missed it. Linda who is an experienced observer as many of you know could not see it period. My eyesight has still remained very strong even in my 70’s. I have conveyed this sighting because some could not see it because of its size and other obstructions. So, you guys who use local here had it right based on your declared beliefs, even though there were not many actually sighting it in the eastern half of the country.

So once again let’s wait to hear the howling of how I am a very bad example of a true Christian. I am sure many said the same about my Lord and Savior when He was correcting an obvious error by the hypocrites. Matthew 23:13-36. I make every effort to follow the Lamb wherever He goes.

Our peace we give to you.
