When is the new year according to the creator? 

When is the new year according to the creator? 

Exodus 12 The Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread.  12 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, 2 “This month is to be for you the first month, the first month of your year. The true scriptural calendar that marks the appointed days of Abba Yahuah and in spring when everything renews.  Our Creator YHWH has shown us “the end from the beginning” through the prophetic shadow pictures embedded in His Feasts, which He commanded Us to keep forever."Yashua ascended into heaven until the restoration of all things." One of the "all things" now being restored is the Creator's original calendar—the reckoning of time by which the Almighty created and still runs the universe. This is the calendar by which Israel conducted the Temple service, and the reckoning of time that governed when Yahshua went up to Jerusalem to full fill the Spring Feasts of the LORD.  As Yeshua fulfilled the spring feasts, he will likewise full fill the fall feasts on the very day on Gods calendar .Christians have forsaken the Creator's calendar for an invented reckoning of time. Turn back to the ancient Hebrew scriptures to rediscover the Creator's reckoning of time so that we, the children of light, might not be ignorant of His times and His seasons.  The first four of the seven feasts of the Lord have already been fulfilled. They were fulfilled in spectacular fashion. They were fulfilled right on the auspicious Hebrew calendar dates on which they have been celebrated in times past, the same dates that will be celebrated forever more. The three spring feasts were fulfilled by Jesus our Saviour. And the summer Feast of Pentecost was fulfilled as well. It was fulfilled by the Holy Spirit 2,000 years ago. Here is the situation so far.

Spring Feasts: 

1. Passover Fulfilled (by Jesus/Yeshua at His crucifixion on Nisan 14 in the spring of 32 A.D.)

2. Feast of Unleavened Bread Fulfilled (by Jesus/Yeshua at His burial in the tomb on Nisan 15 in the spring of 32 A.D.)

3. Feast of Firstfruits Fulfilled (by Jesus/Yeshua at his resurrection on Nisan 17 in the spring of 32 A.D.)

4. Feast of Pentecost Fulfilled (by the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost on Sivan 7 in the summer of 32 A.D.)

A gap of 2000 years or so has allowed.  The light of Israel to go forth into the nations for the gentiles to be evangelized.

We are here.  Now, here come the fall feasts. They are just up ahead.

Fall Feasts: 

5. The Feast of Trumpets unfulfilled…

6. The Day of Atonement unfulfilled…

7. The Feast of Tabernacles unfulfilled… Tishrei 15 will come five days after that final epic Day of Atonement. This will mark the coming of Messiah to tabernacle with his covenant people. Thus begins the long awaited 1000 year Millennium of Messiah.

Deuteronomy 12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? Even so will I do likewise.12:31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods.

Over the last two millennia traditional Christianity has systematically laid aside the "feast days of the Lord" and established its own holidays. Christmas was established to enable pagan converts to come into church fellowship without forsaking their heathen customs and practices. Easter is a replacement for the biblical Passover and Days of Unleavened Bread.

Even the weekly Sabbath was abandoned in favor of Sunday--the pagan day of the sun, supposedly to commemorate Yeshua Jesus' resurrection.  It took place not on Sunday morning but at the end of the weekly Sabbath at sunset Saturday.

Although we should immediately recognize that overruling God's instructions is dangerous behavior, let's consider from the biblical record, whether such inventions and alterations are acceptable worship to our Creator God.  See link.

Beloved of Yahuwah every year at this time everybody says to one another: “Happy New Year!” But is it really the "New Year" according to our Creator?

Or is it the New Year according to the Vatican? See link.  

We are not supposed to adapt ourselves to the culture. We are commanded to be conformed to our Messiah, who is the word that became flesh.

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of Elohiym.

If our creator commands us to keep the new year in the Spring in the month Abib (Exodus 12:2 & 13:3-4), shouldn't we obey him?

And if we willfully disobey, shall we not be deemed the least in the kingdom?

Our messiah said it himself in Matthew 5:17-19 “....Whosoever shall break one of the last of these commandments, he shall be called least in the kingdom.”

January 1st is not the new year; and, to go along with the crowd means that you are inadvertently going along with the beast of Revelation 13, the papacy!

Daniel 7:23-25 says that the “...Fourth kingdom on earth (Rome) is the beast, and he changes times and seasons.”

The Roman Julius Caesar and the Roman Pope Gregory have changed our creator's calendar (including the new year) to honor the pagan god named Janus (for which the month of January is named).

Janus is the two-headed god of the past and future!

It is fine to acknowledge that we are moving from 2017 to 2018. However, the true new year is when Yahuwah says it is the new year.

In Exodus 12:2 when he brought Israel out of Egypt, he said to them “This shall be unto you the beginning of months, it shall be the first month of the year to you.”

We have to put ourselves in agreement with Yahuwah’s instruction.

The new year is in the month Abib:

Exodus 13:

3 And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand YHWH brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.

4 This day came you out in the month Abib.

Times, Seasons & the Thief in the Night:  Pagan Names for the Months of the Year

1. January - derived form the Latin Januarius which in turn is derived from the Roman mighty one of portals and patron of beginnings and endings Janus, to whom this month was sacred. He is shown as having two faces, one in front, the other at the back of his head, supposedly to symbolize his powers.

With the exception of Islamic states and other scattered pagan tribes, most of the world uses the Gregorian calendar, named for the Roman Catholic pope Gregory the 3rd who invented it, and it has "January" as the first month of the year. Roman legend has it that the ruler Numa Pompilius added January and February to the end of the 10-month Roman calendar in about 700 BCE. Pompilius gave the month 30 days. Romans later made "January" the first month. In 46 BCE, the Roman statesman Julius Caesar added a day to "January" making it 31 days long. The Anglo-Saxons called the first month "Wolfmonth" because wolves came into the villages in winter in search of food.

2. February - derived from Februa, a Roman festival of purification. It was originally the month of expiation.

February is the shortest month of the Gregorian calendar year. February had 28 days until Julius Caesar gave it 29, and 30 days every four years. According to tradition Augustus, the Roman emperor, took one day off to add one day to August, the month named after him. We now have February with 28 days and 29 on leap years.

3. March - named for Mars, the Roman mighty one of war.

March is the third month of Georgian calendar. According to the early Roman calendar, it was the first month and was called Martius. The ancient Romans later made January 1 the beginning of the year, which pushed March to the third month on the calendar. March has always had 31 days. Its name honors Mars, the Roman God of war.

4. April - derived from the Latin APRILIS, indicating a time of Fertility. It was believed that this month is the month when the earth was supposed to open up for the plants to grow.

April was the second month in an early Roman calendar but became the fourth when the ancient Romans started using January as the first month. The Romans called the month Aprilis. It may come from a word meaning 'to open', or it may come from Aphrodite, the Greek name for the goddess of love.

5. May - named for Maia, the Roman female deity of growth or increase.

According to the early Roman calendar, May was the third month. Later, the ancient Romans used January 1 for the beginning of their year and May became the fifth month. May has always had 31 days.

Several stories are passed around to show how the month of May was named. The most widely accepted explanation is that it was named for Maia, the Roman goddess of spring and growth. Her name related to a Latin word that means increase or growth.

6. June - this name is sometimes attributed to JUNO, the female mighty one of the marriage, the wife of Jupiter in Roman mythology. She was also called the "Queen of Heaven" and "Queen of Mighty Ones." The name of this month is also attributed to Junius Brutus, but originally it most probably referred to the month in which crops grow to ripeness.

June is the sixth month on the Georgian calendar. On the Roman calendar it was considered the fourth month and had only 29 days. Julius Caesar gave the month 30 days in 46 BCE when he reformed the Roman calendar.

7. July - named for the Roman emperor Julius Caesar.

July is the seventh month on the Gregorian calendar. On the Roman calendar it was the fifth month and it was called Quintilis', meaning fifth. Julius Caesar gave the month 31 days in 46 BCE. The Roman Senate named it 'Julius', in honor of Caesar.

8. August - named for Octavius Augustus Caesar, emperor of Rome. The name was originally from Iaugure which means to increase.

August is the eighth month on the Gregorian calendar, renamed by the Romans from Sextilis, meaning sixth, to honor their emperor, Augustus.

9. September - derived from the Latin septem, meaning seven.

September is the ninth month on the Gregorian calendar. But on the Roman calendar it was the seventh month. September has had 29 days and 31 days but since the time of the emperor Augustus it has had only 30 days.

10. October - derived from the Latin root octo, meaning eight.

October is the tenth month of the year on the Gregorian calendar. October was the 8th month in the early Roman calendar. October has had 31 days since the time of the Roman emperor Augustus.

11. November - derived from Latin novem, meaning ninth.

November is the eleventh month of the year on the Gregorian calendar. In the early Roman calendar it was the ninth month. The Roman Senate elected to name the eleventh month for Tiberus Caesar and since Augustus' time it has had only 30 days. Originally, there were 30 days, then 29, then 31.

The Anglo-Saxons referred to November as the 'wind month' and the 'blood month' - probably because this is the month they killed their animals for food.

12. December - derived from the Latin decem, meaning ten.

December is the twelfth and last month of the year according to the Gregorian calendar. It was the tenth month in the early Roman calendar. It became the twelfth month in a later Roman calendar. Until 46 BCE December only had 29 days but the Roman statesman Julius Caesar added two days to December which made it 31 days. See link.
