[QUOTE="sevenchange_com, post: 2580214, member: 877327"] Originally the Word of God had the Year beginning with Tishri or Ethanim in September-Oct and now Judaism or Jewish calendar has the year beginning with Nisan Mar-Apr. Why the change? According to the Zondervan New International Dictionary states pg. 184 "About the end of the kingdom period the calendar was reformed, replacing the old names of the months with ordinal numerals and changing the beginning of the year from fall to spring." Where in the Word does it say that Fall was the new year? It looks like I phrased this question wrong as God appointed Abib/Nissan as the first month. Exo 12:1-2 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. Continued in Exo 13:4 This day came ye out in the month Abib. [/QUOTE]
