| I did not send this to you yesterday as I was not sure I wanted it to go out in today’s News from you guys. I did send this out to many who know nothing about the history of America and its connection to Israel. If nothing happens Tues. no need to publish. I believe last June 18th was the 4th New Moon of the biblical year known as Tammuz. The 17th of Tammuz was known as a bad day for the tribes of Israel as sometimes correction was allowed to come upon them on that date. Do a search on the internet if interested to see some of the things that happened in history. By the way, next Tuesday July 4th would be the 17th of Tammuz. Might be interesting as I believe America is considered one of the tribes of Israel even though we now have a mixed population. Editor’s Note: It is always interesting to look at history, whether something tragic happens again on that day or not. I did look it up on the internet and settled on this link if others want more information: Seventeenth of Tammuz – Wikipedia According to “The Comprehensive Hebrew Calendar” by Arthur Spier you may have the dates wrong. According to Arthur Spier, the date for the 17th of Tammuz is Thursday July 6, 2023, which would start the evening before at Sunset. The New Moon of Tammuz was on June 18, 2023. (Laura) From: New Moon June 2023: All you need to know about the summer lunar event | BBC Science Focus Magazine The new Moon this month is set to rise at 5:37am on 18 June and will set at 10:22pm on the same day in London (timings will vary with location). The Sun will rise on 18 June at 4:42am and set at 9:20pm, meaning the new Moon will rise just after the Sun and be up during daylight hours. As the new Moon’s rising and setting time largely coincides with that of the Sun, you won’t be able to see the beginning of the latest lunar cycle as it’s lost in the Sun’s glare. |
