Actual and Predicted Dates for Jehovah God’s Holy Days for 2023

This may be Year 6027 After Creation.

 

It has been confirmed that Abib barley will be ready for the Wave Offering this month, making this New Moon the beginning of God’s New Year.

Though the critical New Moons for the coming New Biblical Year were both thought likely to be seen, overcast skies obscured the crescent throughout Israel, so the actual First Month (NH Spring) Holy Days this year are one day later than predicted. This document shows the corrected dates.

However, as always, we are waiting for the observation of the seventh month New Moon to determine which day Jehovah begins it on. We will keep you updated as information on this comes in.

 

These are the actual and predicted Holy Days for Israel and all regions westward to the International Date Line for 2023:

First Month New Moon Visibility Number is 119 at Jerusalem, so the crescent was expected to be seen in Israel.

However, the crescent was obscured by heavy clouds throughout Israel, so the actual Spring Holy Days this year are all one day later. Here are the actual corrected dates:

Abib 1 begins at dusk on Thursday, 23 March and finishes at dusk on Friday, 24 March.

The Passover Preparation Day begins at dusk on Wednesday, 5 April.

The Last Supper is the evening of Wednesday, 5 April.

The Passover Sacrifice is offered on the afternoon of Thursday, 6 April.

The First Day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, a Holy Day, begins at dusk on Thursday, 6 April and ends at dusk on Friday, 7 April.

The Night of Solemn Observance begins at dusk on Thursday, 6 April.

The Wave Offering (the First-fruit) is on the morning of Sunday, 9 April.

The Last Day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, a Holy Day, begins at dusk on Wednesday, 12 Apr and ends at dusk on Thursday, 13 April.

First-fruits (Pentecost) begins at dusk on Saturday, 27 May and ends at dusk on Sunday, 28 May.

 

The Seventh Month New Moon Visibility Number is 125 at Jerusalem, so the crescent is almost certain to be seen in Israel.

These are the predicted dates for 2023:

The Day of Trumpets begins at dusk on Saturday, 16 September and ends at dusk on Sunday, 17 September.

The Day of Atonement begins at dusk on Monday, 25 September and ends at dusk on Tuesday, 26 September.

The First Day of the Feast of Booths (Ingathering), a Holy Day, begins at dusk on Saturday, 30 September and ends at dusk on Sunday, 1 October.

The Last Day of the Feast of Booths (Ingathering), begins at dusk on Friday, 6 October and ends at dusk on Saturday, 7 October.

The Last Great Day begins at dusk on Saturday, 7 October and ends at dusk on Sunday, 8 October.

Jehovah God's Annual High Sabbaths outline His Plan of Salvation, showing how His Son Jeshua the Messiah died for our sins, was resurrected and taken to Heaven, how we are to walk in righteousness with the indwelling of God's Holy Spirit, and how Jeshua will give us everlasting life, and is returning to rule this earth for One Thousand Years. After that, everyone will be judged and God's magnificent City of Peace will come to earth.
