Dear John Tng and all Doves,
      In the 1000 year kingdom reign to come we see in Isaiah 66:23 this declaration and promise from Abba Father. "And it shall be that from New Moon to New Moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before me." During this time there will be the set apart mountain of Jerusalem with worship led by Christ/Messiah.
      If there are 50 weeks in a hebraic year, there will be over 50,000 Sabbaths in the 1000 year reign. If there are 12 new moons in a year [Rosh Chodesh], there will be over 12,000 New Moons. Does this not seem to imply that the remembrance and observance of a weekly Sabbath and monthly New Moon will be very important in the kingdom come?
      Thank you Tony Ellsworth. Your reflections on the Rosh Chodesh have really helped me ponder its significance.
      The period of a full 120 days, with the three 40 day periods runs from Elul 1 on 8-25-2006 to 12-22-2006. This last day of the period will be a New Moon, start of the Sabbath, start of the last day, the day 8, of Hanukkah, and winter solstice combined. Darkness will descend upon Israel on her longest night of the year.
      The New Moon is a monthly symbolic time for starting anew  and for changing for the better. Repent for the kingdom draws near. There is hope in renewal. The Rosh Chodesh ends its first full day as the Sabbath starts on 12-22 in Israel. Hours later, comes her midnight hour. On 12-22-2006, as every day, we watch for the master. We are the watchers who eagerly yet patiently await our beloved bridegroom. We watch and pray for eternal transformation.

With Love and Shalom,
Jean Stepnoski
