Parshas Hachodesh

There are two opposite ways that Hashem runs the world. One is 'hashgachah klallis' That the world runs just like a worldly kingdom. The king sits on his throne taking advice from his aides and making decisions for his kingdom. When a decision comes forth from the king he relays it to the minister in charge of that aspect and the minister thus relays it to the local governors and so on and so forth until everyone that is affected by the kings decision knows about it and the police enforce it. So too Hashem runs his world e.g. that rain should fall in New York- Hashem decrees that it shall rain and sends forth his decision to the angels in charge of the region of New York they 'arrange' that the rain ministers should send rain. Those ministers thus gather the clouds who make the rain. Everything is run in the most orderly fashion.
The second way hashem runs this world is that Hashem alone is in charge of every aspect. Hashem makes and carries out all his decrees personally- without any intermediaries.
The world in general runs according to te first way. The second fashion is reserved for Klal Yisroel- and that started at Yitzias Mitzraim when Hashem himself- not thru a angel - took the Jews out of exile.
The two approaches are exhibited in our yearly calendar. While most most of the world (There is an obvious question someone please ask it) goes according to the sun-the solar calendar, Klal Yisroel counts the months according to the lunar calendar- but is still influenced by the solar calendar which leaves us with leap years.
The seforim explain that the sun's cycle is just a natural go around, every year it goes around the earth. This would symbolise the first way that Hashem runs his world. A world in which Hashem stays behind the scenes and everything is carried out through different emissaries. As apposed to the moon which is not just a natural cycle but rather Hashem actually recreates the moon every month. (Hence we say Kiddush Halevonah every month). This is an exact parallel to the relationship between Hashem and Yisroel. Hashem is actively recreating and intimately involved in our every move.
With the above in mind we understand why the mitzva of Kiddush Hachodesh was given right before Yitzias Metzraim- and that we read Parshas Hachodesh this week. For the moon is an exact example of the relationship Klal Yisroel forged with Hashem at Yitzias Mitzraim.
