"If I shut up the heavens and there is no rain; if I command the locusts to ravage the land; or if I let loose pestilence against My people, when My people, who bear My name, humble themselves, pray, and seek My favor and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear in My heavenly abode and forgive their sins and heal their land." |

Data for Moon And Sunsets for Greenwich and Jerusalem Times
There is a major, definite difference between the Gregorian Calendar and the Observable Hebrew Calendar. A day on the Gregorian Calendar begins at midnight and a day on the Observational Hebrew Calendar begins at sunset. Since the full moon events are given in Universal Time, a determination must be made to determine which day of the Hebrew Calendar the brightest full moon event will appear.
In the example month shown below, it is easy to determine when the full moon occurs. The full moon event occurs at 7:41 p.m. on April 2nd on the Gregorian Calendar, and it is easily seen that the event occurs on Abib 1 on the Hebrew Calendar. However, Abib 1, the first day of the month on the Hebrew Calendar, begins at sunset on April 2nd on the Gregorian Calendar.
The determination in finding the first day of the month on the Hebrew Calendar becomes more difficult if the full moon event occurs in the afternoon. For example, let us assume that the event occurred at 3:13 p.m. We must then determine which sunset the full moon would be the closest to. If sunset were at 4:53 p.m., then the midway point between sunsets would be 4:53 a.m. and since the event occurred after the midway point, the first day of the month would begin at the next sunset. For another example, if the Full Moon event occured at 2:01 a.m. the first days of the month would begin with the previous month.

Since Universal Time consists of artificial one hour time zones it is necessary to determine the true time in Jerusalem as compared to the artificial Universal Time. The true time is determined using longitude and latitude.
Jerusalem Delta Time is the difference between Jerusalem Universal Time and Jerusalem Real Time. The longitude of the Temple Mount is E 35º 14’ 06.60" and in decimal notation it is 35.235º. A ratio is used to determine the real time in Jerusalem:
35.235º/ 360º = x hours/24 hours.
x calculates to be = 2 hours 35 minutes.
