Good Morning and a happy Sabbath rest to All.
Lets play grain farmer in Israel today. It is a simple undertaking which is enacted every grain growing cycle from start to finish. In our case we call it the Abib Growing Cycle as most of you already know. However there are a lot of people using the information we post who are relatively new to all of this.
As a farmer it is important to have a good working understanding of when is the right time to plant our seeds of grain in the Promised Land. If too early and no rain comes for an extended period of time we find ourselves in a potential disastrous spot.
Why?
Because our seeds are not planted deep in the soil and if extended dryness persists the winds can expose the seed before it actually germinates. Thus they are exposed to all the elements that can be thrown at them including predation from all the migrating birds who would thoroughly enjoy such a welcomes snack as they move through the Land.
Unfortunately that is the situation some of the farmers are experiencing today. Those who put their seeds in several weeks ago were hoping for some of the traditional early rains to germinate them and get a quick start on the growing cycle.
As some of you who actually follow the weather patterns in the Land already know, that has not happened. In fact, the ground is very, very dry across the entirety of agricultural areas of the Land. The only exception to that is where irrigation is taking place.
We do not include any grain locations that have been irrigated in our evaluations. Not many grain farmers irrigate their barley and wheat fields but there are a few and maybe we will highlight them this year to show everyone how dramatic a difference that can make on when the grain becomes "aviv" or physiologically mature enough to reproduce itself. And of course that is way out of season. No waiting on the rains from heaven for the timing of it as stated in Deuteronomy 11:10-16.
There have been no germinating rains to date and the long range forecast says there will not be. The month of October is coming to a close quickly. We will be entering November with a deficit of germinating rains in the first week or so of it. A lot of the grain growers in our traditionally early field locations have not planted their grain seed yet, and in fact are just now starting to prep the fields.
You can see this activity taking place this week in the southern Megiddo district. And yes, to you sharp eyed observers, those fields are very familiar. You have seen them for years and yes they are usually some of the traditionally early locations we follow and post about for your use.
I would think at the rate they are proceeding the seed will not go into the ground for at least another 7-10 days, with the work they have left to do. These folks had made the decision to hold off planting until into November based on the meteorologic pattern which had set up for this year. They are expecting germinating rains, which our Elohim call the early rains, to commence by mid November. That will put us well into the 9th Biblical Month which will be starting after sunset on November 3rd.
By the way, that will be the 4th, 30 day Biblical Month in a row as determined from the Jerusalem district.
When ever this pattern has set up in the past it has resulted in an intercalated Biblical Year. This current one we are in will end near the beginning of March. There will be a second new moon near the end of March. We have been anticipating an intercalated year this cycle based on observable patterns we have witnessed to, for many years. Many of you are observing the same set of conditions at the start of the growing season as well.
With Father being completely in control of the meteorological conditions which bring about the early rains and thus the start of the grain growing cycle in the Land to bring about His desired outcome, what are your thoughts on the matter?
A good farmer takes all of this into consideration. We are talking about a Biblical agricultural cycle here completely reliant on when our Elohim start the early rains as instructed in Deuteronomy 11 as stated earlier.
Some will undoubtedly ask why we are even bringing such things up? Unfortunately many of them are confused as to the entire process of Calendric evaluations. Our Elohim always give us a heads up about the end of a matter from the beginning, and when it comes to grain growing They function on simple patterns and cycles for us to be able to readily and easily understand, so we are not caught unaware of Their intentions. Such a blessing!
There are many "winds of doctrine" blowing about today, here at the end of the age to entrap those newly called of Father. There are some very unsavory people trying to steal your crown so we must be very vigilant in our walk. If you are lazy and want someone else to do the work for you, or even make decisions for you, you are heading into a violent spiritual storm ahead.
Lets make a few predictions here for the upcoming potential start of the new year in March. Remember their are 2 new moons next March. There are a couple of the agents of evil who will declare the start of the next Biblical Year at the beginning of March regardless of the Biblical facts.
For one of them his current year will be expiring in early February so he will most likely defer to the new moon of early March and thus an intercalated year for his followers. Anything longer than that, say the new moon of the end of March, will expose his erroneous and unbiblical decision from his current year starting. He will not want to do that so he will manipulate the actual facts relative to the growing season in the Land. How will he do so?
By finding a patch of dead goat grass (unacceptable wild barley growing in stony ground) and declare it as a true representative example of our Saviors wavesheaf offering. Very sad but very true.
Speaking about using goat grass, we can't let the queen of the north off the hook. She split with the fella above last year and her declared year will end its 12 month cycle at the start of March. She too will thus declare the new year starting then based on her dead anemic goat grass findings. Once again sad but true. We are in a time of testing in the Body as Peter so accurately described in his letters.
For many who follow Devorah, she will be ending her current year at the second new moon of March. That would be the same starting point as we hear at abibofgod.com will most likely be keeping as the start of the Biblical Year. Of course all said we wait on Father to clearly show us His desired outcome to such through the 10 witnesses in creation, in the Land, as described in the scriptures. As it may turn out those who follow Devorah's declarations may in fact be keeping it in the same timing as we will be. That would be a good development.
The Rabbinical is already predetermined do do so.
Thus a lot of folks keeping the same start to the Biblical Year based on the Month of Abib at the new moon near the end of March. Of course there will be a few days different between the Rabbinical and observable calendars but all the same close is better than way off course.
We will be addressing the good grain farmers activities during this upcoming Grain Growing Cycle throughout it at specific intervals. Please do so yourselves. Its really quite simple to do if you have access to the internet. We have many posts and articles to assist you in gaining the ability to do so if you are new to it.
Until the next update, we hope you are blessed with growing in favor, acceptance, and knowledge of our Elohim; both Father and Son.
Our peace we give to you.
