Hanukkah: 8 days = New Beginning

Noah’s Flood: November 8 = New Beginning

40th Day: December 17 = 1+7 = 8 = New Beginning

Resurrection Day: April 8 = New Beginning

Ascension Day: May 17 = 1 + 7 = 8 = New Beginning
 

40 days of rain + 40 days of Jesus and the resurrected Jerusalem saints walking the earth = 4 + 4 = 8 = New Beginning
