Jerusalem! Jerusalem is where God placed His name, and is where Christ will return to and set up
the Government of God -- ruling and and disseminating God's Law from the throne of David! This
is the only place the new moons are to be determined -- not locally in whatever part of the world
you live.

Today, in this computer age, we have programs that will determine the new moon crescent
for us ahead of time, so that actual observation is not necessary. However, there is nothing wrong
with using physical sightings in Jerusalem as a corroboration for the programs we use.

The annual Holy Days were intended for all mankind, even as the weekly Sabbath was or-
dained for all mankind! (Compare Gen. 2:1-3; Mark 2:27-28). Note that the "Sabbath" -- which
includes the annual Sabbaths (Lev. 23:32, 38-39) -- was "made for MAN" (Mark 2:27) -- not just
for the Jews! In the coming Kingdom of God, ALL NATIONS will observe God's annual and
weekly Sabbaths according to the lunar-solar calendar (Isaiah 66:23), and go up to Jerusalem for
the Feast of Tabernacles (Zech. 14:16-19).

Following is the calendar for the year of 2000 -- with the Sabbath days and Feast days
placed in their proper relationship.
