01 / THE YEAR
Aviv Barley
Study the condition of barley and whether sufficient suitable grain would be ready for the appointed firstfruits offering. This supplies the agricultural part of the proposed first-month test.
THE AGRICULTURAL WITNESS
SCRIPTURE · OBSERVATION · THE CREATED ORDER
The Creator's Timekeeping
Read the Word. Watch the renewed Moon.
Observe the stars. Examine the witnesses.
A SCRIPTURE-GUIDED SKY STUDY IS COMING SOON
GENESIS 1:14 · PSALM 104:19 · JOB 38:31–33
Not merely a calendar to follow.
A creation to observe.
Father's Calendar is being built to examine a proposed Sighted Moon, witnessed barley astronomical method (S1). Beginning with Scripture, the study follows reported crescent sightings, the condition of aviv barley, the stars rising at moonset, and the Moon's later passage through the heavens.
“Let them be for signs and appointed times, and for days and years.” — Genesis 1:14 (excerpt)
Our aim is to show the evidence and the reasoning: what Scripture says, what observers report, what Stellarium calculates, and what the proposed correspondence would mean.
THE S1 OBSERVATIONAL METHOD
Where Earth and Heaven Meet
Three connected elements, examined within a continuous sequence of lunar months.
02 / THE MONTH
The Sighted Crescent
An accepted sighting of the renewed crescent opens the month. As it sets in the west, turn to the east and record the stars first rising into view.
THE OPENING-EVENING WITNESS
03 / THE SKY
The Rising Stars & Full Moon
Compare the eastern rising pattern with the Moon's later constellation position. The Lion–Bethulah transition is examined in the proposed 13th-month test.
THE ASTRONOMICAL CORRESPONDENCE
The month-to-constellation correspondence is a research claim to be tested, not an explicit biblical table of month assignments.
AN INTERACTIVE TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Show Me in the Heavens
Start with the passage. Follow an opening evening. Watch the sky. Compare the evidence.
Begin with the Sighted Moon
Psalm 104:19 · Genesis 1:14
The moon is appointed for seasons; the heavenly lights are given for signs, appointed times, days, and years.
WHAT TO OBSERVE
The S1 method begins a month with an accepted sighting of the renewed crescent. An astronomical prediction, an actual sighting, and an accepted calendar opening are different kinds of evidence.
