For a very long time, the Romans colonized much of the world. This is why in the days of Jesus they controlled Jerusalem and had Pilate overseeing Jerusalem for them. They decided the rename the original months after their gods and emperors. It is this calendar most people use today. The Gregorian calendar is internationally the most widely used civil calendar. It is named after Pope Gregory XIII, who introduced it in October 1582<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">It begins with January and ends in December. January was named after Janus the Roman god of gates. January till August was re-named by the Romans. For one reason or the other, they did not re-name the rest of the months from Sept-ember to Dec-ember. \u2013ember means month.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">There is also the two separate Jewish calendars\u2014sacred and civil. There are also Chinese calendars etc. Which is the correct one?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"color:#ffc000;font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:14pt;\"><strong>BEGINNING OF MONTHS<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">The calendar God himself gave the Jews is the correct one. It marks times and seasons using the movement of heavenly bodies.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;margin-left:36pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">Gen 1:14 KJV\u00a0 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and <span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">FOR SEASONS, AND FOR DAYS, AND YEARS<\/span>:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">God in Ex 12 said the year will begin physically and spiritually when the lamb [Jesus] was sacrificed and man was given a new beginning via his resurrection. This season in the calendar God gave his people, the Jews, is called Passover or Pesach.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">In the same Ex 12, verses 11, 21, 43, and 48, the scripture tell us that this time of the year is the &#8220;LORD&#8217;s Passover&#8221;\u2014not the Jews&#8217; Passover. Passover foreshadows a day when the real lamb\u2014Jesus came and took upon himself SIN, nailed it to the cross and pressed the reset button for humanity giving us a NEW BEGINNING\u2014a New Year starting with his death and resurrection.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">The Passover marked the end of the Law and the introduction of Grace &amp; Truth. This is why God said this shall be he beginning of months. It symbolized or foreshadowed a NEW BEGINNING for humanity. The Kingdom of God which eluded humanity in the OT was brought back when the Passover occurred.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"color:#ffc000;font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:14pt;\"><strong>HOW DO WE KNOW THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF MONTHS<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">Nature testifies to it. This is why this is the season of SPRING when things such as vegetation which had died through the winter come back or SPRING to life.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">When we look at the months that the Romans did not change, we can count back to the true first month. For the mathematicians among us, Sept = 7, Oct = 8, Nov = 9 and Deca = 10. \u2013ember means month. So Sept-ember means 7<sup>th<\/sup> month not 9<sup>th<\/sup> month like the Gregorian calendar says. Deca-ember is 10<sup>th<\/sup> month and not the 12<sup>th<\/sup> month. And so on. Counting back from these months which were not tampered with through renaming, the actual beginning of a year is March\/April.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"color:#ffc000;font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:14pt;\"><strong>EASTER vs. PESACH<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">Easter is not a biblical word. It is not in the original biblical Hebrew or Greek. It is also based on the Gregorian calendar and only lasts for one day. In 2017, April 16 has been set in Gregorian calendar as Easter. Why is EASTER not biblical? Because it was smuggled into the NT by the translator in the following scripture:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;margin-left:36pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">Act 12:4 KJV\u00a0 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after <span style=\"color:#ffc000;\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">EASTER<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span>to bring him forth to the people.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">This word translated easter here is actually Gk. pascha which is actually Gk. for Hebrew PESACH which is Passover.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"color:#ffc000;font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:14pt;\"><strong>PESACH 2017<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">Passover 2017 by Jewish calendar is not only one day like it is in the Gregorian calendar. Scripture says it should be for 7 days. Read scripture below.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">Pesach, or Passover, falls on the Hebrew calendar dates of the month Nissan 15-22. That corresponds to April 10-18 in Gregorian calendar.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">See verse 18. Passover always begin on 14th day of Nissan and end 21th. 14<sup>th<\/sup> day for the Jews begin at 6pm on the 14<sup>th<\/sup> and ends at 6pm on the 15<sup>th<\/sup> because that is how God measures days according to the book of Genesis 1: 5,8,13,19,23, 31.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;margin-left:36pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">Gen 1:5 KJV\u00a0 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the <span style=\"color:#ffc000;\">EVENING <\/span>AND THE MORNING were the first day.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">The day begins at evening\u2013not morning. This is how the Jews and many believers live till today.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">So in summary, Pesach 2017 is Nissan 15-22 or April 10-18.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">But the focus is not on a physical lamb but bringing to remembrance thereal lanb of God&#8217;s death and resurrection for you and what it means.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"color:#ffc000;font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:14pt;\"><strong>HOW DO BELIEVERS OVERCOME?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;margin-left:36pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">Rev 7:14\u00a0 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the LAMB.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;margin-left:36pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">Rev 12:11\u00a0 And they overcame him by the blood of the LAMB, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"color:#ffc000;font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:14pt;\"><strong>IS IT WRONG TO CELEBRATE GREGORIAN EASTER?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">In my opinion, NO. All the days were created by God. The enemy never created any day. Men may have given it to him but it belongs to Papa God. The important thing is to celebrate the true meaning of Passover\u2014his death and resurrection and the mysteries contained therein. But it is better if we commemorate his death and resurrection everyday. He himself said, we should commemorate this his death and resurrection often. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">Believers call this Passover\u00a0the Holy Communion.
