What About the Beginning of Yahuwah’s Biblical Year

Is the Level Horned Crescent seen in the northern hemisphere the

sign for the whole world for the beginning of the biblical year?

The Level Horned Crescent Theory

There is a theory circulating among some of those seeking the truth of
Yahuwah, that the level horned crescent is the signal for the beginning of the
biblical year in the spring. Is the level horned crescent the signal, and is it
the truth? Let’s examine a little further.

What Causes the Level Horned Crescent?

In the northern hemisphere, in the latitudes that most of the populace
resides, there is a point at which the days and nights become of approximate
equal length. This point is generally around latitude 35 deg North or so.
Above or below this latitude, the lengths of day and night will fluctuate by
some minutes and hours, and eventually days.

Around this latitude of 35 deg North, March 16 is the day that the days and
nights are about the same in length. This is the day that the first visible
crescent (if it were seen on this day) would appear almost perfectly
horizontal or level, with both horns pointing up. The equal day and night
formula is the only thing that causes the horned crescent to appear
level, meaning that the sun is directly under the moon at sunset. If the
visible crescent moon were to appear on March 16, directly over the setting
sun, it would for all intent and purpose, be exactly horizontal or level.

What does the Level Horned Crescent mean?

The only reason that this sign is taken to mean something, is that it
generally coincides with the new moon nearest the vernal equinox,
usually March 21/22. (This reckoning, nearest the vernal equinox, is used by
many to determine the beginning of the year on Yahuwah’s calendar, but is it
the correct method?) It is not the proximity to the equinox that causes the
moon to appear level or horizontal. It is the proximity to the day when the
when the length of the day and night are equal, around March 16 at latitude
35 deg North.

Testing the theory by changing latitudes

What happens in the southern hemisphere when we have the beginning of
the biblical year in spring in the northern hemisphere? Is the signal of the
level horned crescent the same “down under?”

Since I reside in the USA and generally have my focus there, lets look at a
latitude in the southern hemisphere that generally corresponds with my
longitude. I chose Santiago, Chile, which is only generally similar in
longitude, but more closely related in latitude, since it is located at 33 deg
South approx. This puts it about the same position in the southern
hemisphere corresponding to my latitude in the northern hemisphere.
(Although I am actually just north of 29 deg North in Apalachicola Florida)

But the question is, what is happening in Santiago when we are having
spring? If you remember your science from high school, you’ll remember that
Santiago, i.e. the southern hemisphere, is experiencing the shifting into the
fall season, as we are entering into the spring season. So what does this do
to the theory of the level horned crescent.

Spring in northern hemisphere; fall in southern hemisphere

Here’s an image from the astronomy program Stellarium, a free download

from http://sourceforge.net

As you can see, when we are entering the spring in the northern hemisphere
and see a level horned crescent here, it is not the same in the southern

hemisphere. In the fall in the southern hemisphere, the visible crescent at
the new moon appears as it does in the 7th month in the northern
hemisphere. The only difference is that it is a “MIRROR IMAGE,” appearing in
the reverse image of what it appears here in the 7th month. You can tell as
the moon is illuminated from the opposite side that it is in the northern
hemisphere.

Fall in southern hemisphere; spring in southern hemisphere

Santiago, Chile Sep 9 2010

In the fall in the southern hemisphere, the visible crescent nearest the
autumnal equinox appears as a level horned crescent, similar to how it
appears in the spring in the northern hemisphere.

Is the “level horned crescent” the signal for the beginning of
Yahuwah’s biblical year for the WHOLE world?
Given the variations and appearances in the astronomy between the northern
and southern hemisphere, and the opposing scenarios of the visible crescent
moon, the question has to be asked;

Is the visible crescent moon, nearest the vernal equinox,

in the northern hemisphere, appearing as a level horned
crescent, the signal for the WHOLE world to begin the
biblical year as Yahuwah ordained?

Personally, I don’t believe this is the sign, but I will leave that for you to
decide.

And here’s one more question for you to ponder. Does the biblical year begin
the southern hemisphere when we begin it in the northern hemisphere? Of
does it begin in their spring? This question rises of course, because the level
horned crescent sign is not the same for them.
