Update: figs
There are many signs that I personally look for to know that we are approaching the turn of the year, my signs are many and varied because I live here and have learned the ebb and flow of the land. But there are 7-8 standard signs that some of the groups that come to Israel to inspect barley are looking to see when they arrive to know the timing of the barley.
Almond blooms and anemonies usually show up 30 days before the barley is Aviv. We have both of those.
Then there’s things like the migratory birds from Jer 8:7 (turtle dove, cranes, swallow and Egyptian storks) we don’t have YET.
The lambs and kids should be born around the first of the year; we don’t have these yet but I’m thinking I’ll ask my neighbor the Bedouin he would know when his nannies and ewes are due.
The figs show up on the trees; I saw them today.
And then they want the grapevines to bloom.
So,now we have figs on the tree to add to our almond blooms, our anemonies, our barley, and our oats. I don’t think I’m crying wolf…..there’s a real chance we could be keeping Pesach next month.
There’s a video link that I made about the timing we are in https://youtu.be/COxroL0RQ9IUpdated Feb 15, 2020, 3:38 PM
