Yah, the Moon God

Question: "Why, during a solar eclipse, does the sun appear to be the same size as the moon?"

Answer: "To make fools out of those who preach a non-designed universe."

The universe uses physical reality to represent spiritual realities. The moon is the shining object that steals light from the sun and claims it as its own.
 

“One Egyptian papyrus says: I am Moon God Yah among the Gods, I do not fail."
Interestingly, when Christians praise their G-d they use the word “Helelu-Yah ”, which means “O Yah the Shining One” . The word “Helel” means “Shining One”. The Hebrew word for Moon itself is “Yah-re-ach” meaning “ Crescent Moon”. And ‘Yareach’ is Hebrew name for none other than the Canaanite deity Yarikh ! This Egyptian deity called ‘Yah’ was once personified through the crescent moon.”

Iah ( Egyptian: jˁḥ, Coptic ⲟⲟϩ) is a lunar deity in ancient Egyptian religion. The word jˁḥ simply means "moon". It is also transliterated as Yah, Jah, Jah(w) - Wikipedia

Iah also became Iah-Djehuty, meaning "god of the new moon".
The sighting of the new moon was ordained to establish the beginning of the monthly cycle and therefore the first day of the month.

Numbers 28:11-15
'Then at the beginning of each of your months you shall present a burnt offering to the LORD'

Psalm 81:3'Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.' 

1 Chronicles 23:30-31'...offer all burnt offerings to the LORD, on the sabbaths, the new moons and the fixed festivals in the number set by the ordinance concerning them, continually before the LORD.'

Nehemiah 10:32-33
'...for the continual burnt offering, the sabbaths, 
the new moon, for the appointed times, for the 
holy things and for the sin offerings to make 
atonement for Israel'

Ezekiel 45:17

'It shall be the prince's part to provide the burnt 
offerings, the grain offerings and the drink offer-
ings, at the feasts, on the new moons and on the 
sabbaths'

In Babylon the moon god is called "Iam Jah" or Ya(h).  It has both a female and a male identity. In Egypt the Babylonian female "Ia or Ya" was changed into a male god and the female god was named "shua" and made the sky god. When a person then combines these forms into Iashua or Yahshua they have made the moon god the sky god.

Names from the Old Testament are almost all derived from Hebrew. Common name elements are el (for example in Elijah) and jeho-, jo-, -jah, -iah (in Isaiah), which refer to the Hebrew God.

(IAH in Egyptian Mythology means "moon" in Egyptian. In Egyptian mythology this was the name of a god of the moon, later identified with Thoth)
