I would like to share with you all my thoughts on God`s numbers in His word regarding the tribulation. I will start at the millennium, and proceed backwards. I will do a step at a time so any questions or other thoughts can be discussed.
I am starting with the thought that the millennium will begin on Israel`s New Year. This will become clearer as we proceed. The Jewish New Year is the month of Nissan. God instructed Moses regarding setting the Jewish Calendar and the mitzvah, (commandment) of sanctifying the new month.
`This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.` (Ez. 12: 2)
This ushered in the first Jewish month and commenced the lunar calendar that the Jews have been following ever since.
If we look at all the months in the Jewish calendar we see that the month of Adar is the 12th, the last month of the year. It has 29 days in an ordinary year, though it has 30 days during `leap years.` Adar is appended by an additional month called Adar 2 (Second Adar) This occurs approximately every 3 years to align the lunar months with the solar year, ensuring that the holidays fall in the proper seasons.
Here is a diagram of what a leap year would look like with the two months of Adar.
What are your thoughts? Marilyn.
