In such, the " flood " is " the fruit ", in that they are both " new moon " ( R'osh chodesh )[/div]
The High Priest of Sin would have been the one who announced New Moon ( the flood / fruit )
In the later decisions of the Sanhedrin, they felt the High Priest was no longer with them, so they required the testimony of 2 witnesses to announce the " the flood ", the " fruit " or " r'osh chodesh "
This brings us to the Book of Revelation topic of the trumpets
Kohanim (Jewish priests) announced the new month with trumpets, as per the scriptures:
" Blow the horn at the new moon, at the full moon for our feast-day. For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob ”
Psalms 81:4-5
As soon as the first sliver of the Moon was seen, the fact was announced throughout the whole country by signal fires on the mountaintops and the blowing of trumpets
In Numbers 28:11, the New Moon offering is commanded for the first time: “On the first of every month, present to the Lord a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram and seven male lambs a year old, all without defect.” Each of the animal sacrifices was to be accompanied by a grain offering and a drink offering (verses 12–14). In addition to burnt offerings, a goat was to be sacrificed to the Lord as a sin offering (verse 15). The New Moon festival marked the consecration to God of each new month in the year. New Moon festivals were marked by sacrifices, the blowing of trumpets over the sacrifices (Numbers 10:10), the suspension of all labor and trade (Nehemiah 10:31), and social or family feasts (1 Samuel 20:5).
This is the basis for the writings in the Book of Daniel
" And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate "
the NASB gives a clearer view of the verse:
"And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate."
In the later traditions, 2 witnesses were required to officiate a wedding, this was obviously a throwback to the sacred wedding ceremonies of Mesopotamian kings
Hence, Jesus = The High Priest = The man of Sin ( The High Priest of Sin )
