The ripening of barley is examined as a witness to the beginning of the biblical year.
AN INVITATION TO OBSERVE
Read the Scripture. Observe the heavens.
Discover the witnesses woven into creation.
A NEW LEARNING EXPERIENCE IS COMING
GENESIS 1:14
What if learning the biblical calendar began by looking carefully at the words of Scripture—and then looking up? Father's Calendar is being developed as a place to study the appointed times through Scripture, sky observations, and the signs of the agricultural year.
THREE CONNECTED WITNESSES
Follow the teaching from Scripture to the field to the night sky.
The ripening of barley is examined as a witness to the beginning of the biblical year.
The new moon is studied as the marker for the beginning of each biblical month.
The full moon's place among the stars is examined in the proposed determination of a thirteenth month.
THE HEART OF THE EXPERIENCE
Read the Scripture. Understand the teaching. See the observation.
Genesis 1:14
Let lights come to be in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and appointed times, and for days and years.
Begin with the scriptural foundation: the lights in the heavens have a role in marking time. Examine the passage, then explore the visible sky.
Our planned Stellarium-powered lessons will jump to the dates, viewing locations, and celestial positions used in each teaching—so you can examine the observations yourself.
A NEW RESOURCE IS GROWING
Guided Scripture studies, illustrated calendar teachings, historical comparisons, and an interactive sky viewer are on the horizon.
