"And God said: "Let lights appear in the heavenly space to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs and indicate the seasons, days and years" (Book of the Bible "Genesis" ch.1, verse 14). This modest description of the Creator's deeds leaves no doubt about the divine origin of the Moon and the Sun and what is the purpose of these heavenly bodies. They count our time in a convenient form for us. That is, the appointment is purely calendar. Why, at all times, man sought to know phases of the moon, calculated when the next full moon, followed the sky?
Striving to understand the unknown?
The same biblical narrative reveals to us the attraction for the man of this mystery. However, since the time of Adam and Eve, everything that was incomprehensible has had a special meaning for mankind. Mostly because, observing the world with its strict order established by God, but not knowing the full depth of what is happening, a person attributed special properties to things and objects, assuming and thinking out for God.
It is not surprising, therefore, that the Moon, with all its variability and inexplicable influence on the seas, oceans and human society, has been an extremely attractive object of observation and research. Man has always been worried about the phases of the moon, he has always sought to know in advance when the full moon will be, when there will be a new moon, and when even a thin crescent will not be visible in the sky.
What is a full moon?
In ancient times, in order to announce to the people at exactly the right time about the onset of a new phase of the moon, a special council of the Sanhedrin met, whose duties included informing the Jews and all law-abiding people about the onset of the new moon, and hence the new month. Finding out when the next full moon was after this announcement was no longer difficult: since the full lunar cycle lasts 28 days, the full moon occurs on the 14th day after the appearance of the new moon in the sky.
During the full moon, the disk of the moon in the sky looks absolutely round, without any damage to the right or left. For completely inexplicable reasons during the period
full moon human society embraces a special state. So, for example, the London police are convinced that these days, or rather nights, the number of violent crimes is increasing. Maybe that's why it's important for us to know when the full moon is? After all, forewarned is forearmed. You know when you might have a relapse, so you can take steps to ease the situation.
Not everything is as simple as we would like
If everything was so simple, problems in modernsociety would be smaller. But, alas, the sick spirituality of today's person does not allow him to use even such elementary knowledge for his own benefit. Meanwhile, it is absolutely certain that God, who created the Sun and the Moon, disapproves of our frivolity with you. This is evident from the same Bible, according to which He destroyed cities and civilizations for immorality. And the immorality of modern society has already reached the size of Sodom and the civilization of Noah's time. If, even knowing when the full moon is, we do not use this knowledge for the benefit of our spirituality, we risk incurring the wrath of the Creator.
Of course, the full moon in this sense is a special case
In the world, besides him, there is a lot going on that affects the physical person and his inner world. But a reasonable person who seeks to know himself can start small: to know what the full moon is, when the full moon exerts its special negative influence on him, and how this influence can be avoided. To know these details of life in full without understanding the will of God on Earth will not work. Therefore, good and wise advice for such a person would be advice to carefully and thoughtfully read the Bible, which is rightly called the Word of God. Read, reflect, analyze, draw the right conclusions and apply what you read in life.
In conclusion, let's count the full moon days for the current 2014 year. Armed with basic knowledge.
Full Moon Calendar 2014
First full moon in 2014 whenThe moon, according to eyewitnesses, looked especially large, it was at half past five in the morning on Thursday, January 16th. Since then, three full moons have passed: Saturday, February 15th, Sunday, March 16th, and Tuesday, April 15th. The latter is remarkable in that it coincided with a lunar eclipse, which in itself is an event of a universal scale. By the way, this year we will have another such coincidence, it will happen on October 8th.
Between two lunar eclipses there will be the following full moon nights: Wednesday May 14th, Friday June 13th, Saturday July 12th, Sunday August 10th and Tuesday September 9th. Further this year, the Moon will gain weight on the following dates: Thursday November 6th and Saturday December 6th.
Count your time for your own benefit and remember that God gave us the heavenly body precisely for these purposes - it is correct to count "times and days" in order to plan your life. Our Father did not teach us to worship the Moon, to raise it to the rank of gods. The ancient people who made sacrifices to the god of the moon, from his point of view, committed immorality.
