Ezra could determine the first month without knowledge of the barley stage in Israel.
(Ezra 7:9 KJV) For upon the first day of the first month began he to go up from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.
Haman could determine the first month without knowledge of the barley stage in Israel.
(Est 3:12 KJV) Then were the king's scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king's ring.
Ezekiel could determine the first of the year and thus month outside of Isreal.
(Ezek 40:1 KJV) In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither. 2 In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south.

The Hilel calendar automatically adds in an extra month, called Adar Rishon, to compensate. It is on a 19 yr. cycle, and I looked it up so here is when the Shanah Me'uberet (pregnant years) occur: the 3rd, 6th, 8th, 11th, 14th, 17th, & 19th years.
Dan C If you look at the keys on a piano, starting at an octave break, those years will correspond to the black keys. |

(James 2:20 KJV) But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
(James 2:26 KJV) For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Frank,
The idea of the year beginning in the middle of the month is no less acceptable than the first day of the month falling in the middle of the week. The seven day cycle dose not fit into a natural month and natural monthly cycles don’t fit into a natural year. However, it’s still not clear to me why the first day of the year is on the first day of Unleavened bread. Is it the possibility of a lunar eclipse to accompany the event? The first day of the month could produce a solar eclipse so why wouldn’t that be selected. The equinox itself is also a possibility, though it is pretty hard to determine.

Frank, www.torahcalendar.com/ORBITS.asp?HebrewDay=10&HebrewMonth=6&Year=2014The above site appears to use the same rule as you do for determining the festivals. However they set the first day of the year to the first day of the month instead of on the festival as you indicate. My question is why isn’t the first day of the year the day of the spring equinox? Alon, The following is a quote from the site: “The first day of Unleavened Bread never occurs before the spring equinox. This ensures that all three festivals take place within a single year as יהוה specified” Isn’t it true that the barley watchers can place passover prior to the Equinox, Thus having four festivals in one year and two the following year. That would be a clear breaking of the three times a year before the Lord rule. Jimmie |

Then the first month is part in the old year and part in the new year?

Sola scriptura is why Catholics mock Protestants. Protestants claim to get their instruction solely from scripture. Yet they worship on Sunday, and keep holidays not established in scripture, both of which were established by the Catholic Church. Below are a few reason that I do not believe in Sola scriptura: (Prov 6:6 KJV) Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: (Psa 143:5 KJV) I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands. (Prov 1:8 KJV) My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: (1 Cor 11:14 KJV) Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a  unto him? (John 14:26 KJV) But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Prov 24:30 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; 31 And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down. 32 Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction. (1 Cor 14:6 KJV) Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine? |

Frank,
I look forward to this discussion. I am a little weak in my understanding in regards to the calender.
Alon,
Season : a recurrent period that is characterized by certain occupations, festivities, or crops.
We may have jumped the gun on condemning the translators.

It has occurred to me that during our discussion of the Kingdom of Heaven/God we have not defied what the term means.
(Mat 18:1 KJV) At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
(Mat 18:8 KJV) Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
(Mat 19:16 KJV) And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
(Mat 25:14 KJV) For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
So one aspect of the Kingdom of Heaven is eternal life.

Frank,
Genesis is a good place to start.

You can't fully define sin without  . The teaches us right and wrong. I am wrong about most Christians not having the definition of sin, it's written on our hearts! I do stand corrected on the kingdom of God and Heaven, it looks like they are used interchangeably, thanks Jimmie. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk You are welcome. To be honest, I had never considered them as possibly being two separate things, until I read your earlier post. So I had to do a quick study to confirm and ground my believes in scripture. Thus, I owe you a thanks, also. |
