The book of Revelation tells us exactly Jesus was born and also details when He will return!

Struggle Over Which New Moon to Use. : https://sightedmoon.com/conjunction-or-sighted-which/

•The author notes that modern calendars predict the Feast of Trumpets years in advance, yet Matthew 24:36 says the day cannot be known — creating a conflict.

•This leads the author to believe the sighted new moon must be the correct method, since it cannot be known ahead of time.

•Though this idea made sense to the author, they could not initially prove it from Scripture.

Influence of Others

•The author discovers Nehemia Gordon, the Karaites, and Michael Rood, who support the sighted-moon view.

•However, arguments from those who use the conjunction moon cause continued uncertainty.

•Both groups claim to follow the Law, leaving no definitive “thus says the Lord” Scripture.

Personal Practice Caused Doubt

•In 2005, the author kept two sets of each Holy Day (Passover, Pentecost, Trumpets) due to uncertainty.

•This felt hypocritical and troubling, especially knowing the Hebrew Calendar uses postponements the author believes are unbiblical.

Purpose of the Paper

•The author seeks to offer “proof positive” for which new moon is correct for determining the biblical calendar.

•Emphasizes the importance of keeping Holy Days exactly when God commands, not when humans choose.

Discovery in Dr. Ernest L. Martin’s Work

•While reading The Star that Astonished the World, the author encounters astronomical arguments that unexpectedly clarify the new-moon question.

• Martin determines the exact day and hour of Jesus’ birth using astronomy.

•This includes identifying the celestial signs described in Revelation 12.

Biblical and Ancient Star-Related Background

•Cites Scriptures showing:

•The heavens reveal God’s glory and serve as signs (Ps 19, Gen 1:14).

•God set constellations in the sky (Job 38, Isaiah 40).

•Discusses how constellations (especially Virgo) historically carried prophetic significance related to the Messiah.

Virgo and Messianic Symbolism

•Virgo is historically associated with:

•A virgin.

•A branch (symbolic of the Messiah).

•A seed of grain (symbolic of Christ as the seed).

•The article suggests the Zodiac originally conveyed God’s messages but was later corrupted by paganism.

Revelation 12 as Astronomical Evidence

•Revelation 12’s imagery (woman, sun, moon, dragon) is interpreted as astronomical—not merely symbolic.

•Virgo is the only zodiacal constellation that fits the description.

•Martin argues:

•The Sun “clothing” Virgo occurs only about 20 days per year (late Aug to mid-Sept).

•The moon being under Virgo’s feet during this window happens only once per year.

•Martin argues:

•The moon being under Virgo’s feet during this window happens only once per year.

• In 3 BC, this alignment occurred on one specific evening only: September 11th.

Key Astronomical Claim

•On September 11, 3 BC:

•The Sun was mid-body in Virgo.

•The Moon was under her feet.

•The Moon was in crescent phase, indicating a sighted new moon, not a conjunction.

•This alignment lasted only about 90 minutes after sunset.

Implications

•Martin’s astronomical reconstruction:

•Pinpoints Jesus’ birth to the evening of September 11, 3 BC.

•Shows this was Tishri 1, the Feast of Trumpets.

•The author concludes this proves:

•The biblical new moon was a visible crescent, not a hidden conjunction.

•Revelation 12 depicts a crescent new moon, validating the sighted-moon method for determining biblical months.

• In 3 BC, this alignment occurred on one specific evening only: September 11th.
