TO THE PEOPLE OF THE NEW MOON

Beloved, say to the people who worship the new moon:

It will be the time of harvesting the summer fruit, and a great wailing will overcome the people of Jerusalem. Prayers at the temple will cease and the dead bodies will be many. You have trampled upon the needy and overtaken the poor of many lands in my name, and I will not rest until I have cleansed my name from your people.

On that day, the sun will go down at noon and the land shall be darkened. Your feasts will be held as a day of mourning and lamentations. Baldness will cover every head and sores every loin. You have desecrated my Holy City with your violence and self importance. This was to be My City, but you have made the city a horror among all nations by your selfish deeds.

Did you believe to call yourselves My people with innocent blood running from your fingers? Your ritualistic washings cannot remove the blood that now stains your hearts as well as your hands. Your hearts have become stones that only your will can penetrate. Use your will to repent and return to Me. If there is no repentance and no love for your neighbors, you will fall and never rise again.
