Dear Believers,

There is, indeed, more than one 'Hebrew' calendar. This one (enclosed) could be so-called, as I am of Hebrew lineage myself. What I meant to imply was the difference between the JEWISH calendar that most believers utilize, and the Biblical, Torah-revealed schedule for YHWH's appointed festivals. They are definitely NOT the same thing, as the literature enclosed makes quite obvious.

First of all, there is only one Hebrew Calendar, if there were more than one, it would create confusion. Remember God is not the author of confusion, but man certainly is when he gets it in his head to do his own thing apart from God.

Second, your Hebrew lineage does not give you any rights to make up your own calendar and create more confusion among the people of God.

And third, I went over the calendar literature you sent me and it is nonsense.

To this date; I have not found any scriptural support for the continued use of the moon (in ANY shape) for the regulating of time in the Torah-based calendar. A single scripture mentions both the moon and YHWH's mo'ed(s) in one sentence... that is Ps.104:19. However; a close examination of the word "appointed" lacks any intimation (hint) that the moon is 'MARKING' said mo'ed(s). Rather; the moon is "granted; provided; brought forth" (all alternate renderings of the same Hebrew word here translated "appointed") ...perhaps as a 'night-light' for man's enjoyment at these times. What it ISN’T is a 'marker.'

If God ordains the moon for set feasts, why do you make light of it. Psalm 104:19 is a very clear scripture in regard to the moon marking God’s Feasts. If you throw the scripture away as you are trying to do, so you can promote your own doctrine, it makes you not wise, but a fool because you are doing away with what God says, so you can do it the way you believe it should really be. God does out rank you or don’t you understand that?

Richard Heath writes:

I have composed a longer paper, which goes into much greater detail on this subject, but I will forego sending it, unless you request it.

If it is like the calendar papers you have already sent me, then the best place for the longer paper would be a trash can and make sure it gets completely destroyed so others don’t find it later and fall into the ditch with you because they think to follow your false calendar paper.

Richard Heath writes:

Try this for evidence: Psalm 104:19 He (God) appointed (ordained, instituted) the moon for seasons (set feasts): the sun knoweth his going down. The book of Psalms was written after Genesis.

Richard Heath writes:

It's my personal opinion that this is also the reason that YHWH's calendar only is concerned with the seven months in which His mo'ediym occur. He was able to "foresee" this skewing of time, and planned accordingly.

As a side issue, but interesting just the same; YHWH's Holy Days fall in the 'living' portion of the year, much like the 24-hour day is divided into two portions...our waking & working half, followed by the resting/sleeping half. YHWH's calendar mirrors this idea typically; with a year picturing a day.

If others wish to obtain this information, you may offer it free via my address, as you did previously. May YHWH grant you His blessings. I write--In YHWH’s service, Richard

Richard’s address is: PO Box 2474, Vero Beach, FL 32961. Richard you are teaching a false calendar doctrine. I am including your address here in hopes that others will also help you to see your error in teaching that the moon as ordained by God does not have anything to do with God’s Holy Days when in reality God himself has ordained the moon for His set feasts. (Psalm 104:19)

I would also caution anyone reading this letter or this newsletter that it is important that you do deep studies into any doctrine presented to you before you follow the leader into the ditch.
