The image displays the title "Does the First Visible Crescent (FVC) announce the New Moon?" and introductory text. It questions the FVC as the New Moon, suggesting nature and historical records provide discernment for correctly starting the month.
The text discusses weekly Sabbaths regulated by the moon and introduces eight reasons why the FVC is not the Scriptural New Moon. The first reason states FVC observation was a Babylonian practice adopted by Khazars (Jews), providing historical quotes.
The text explains that "Jews" adopted the Babylonian calendar, including FVC for months and pagan traditions. It then presents reasons 2 and 3, arguing FVC-based calendars misalign quarter phases and obscure distinct day categories like New Moon, work, and Sabbath.
The text defines three day categories (New Moon, work, Sabbath) and explains how 1-2 dark days after the last Sabbath are New Moon days. Reason 4 cites Philo's observations of lunar weeks, showing his calendar did not align with FVC for Sabbath announcements.
The text presents Reason 5, stating a single FVC cannot announce two New Moon days in 29 or 30-day months. Reason 6 details a two-day New Moon in 1 Samuel 20, supported by Hebrew translation, indicating two days of celebration.
A calendar table illustrates a month with "New Moon" and "Work days" leading to "Sabbath." The accompanying text explains that 1-2 dark days after the 29th are New Moon days, referencing David and Jonathan, and discussing the original 360-day year.
Another calendar table shows a similar monthly structure. The text argues the dark phase is New Moon, aligning quarter phases with Sabbaths (8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th), citing Ezekiel 46:1 and other scriptures for distinct day categories.
