Jim, I beg to differ.  I used to think your way until I searched the Scripture for myself. If you can show me with Scripture that the first month was ever in the fall, I will of course believe you.

 

And, btw, the 10th month is Tevet.  Enoch 92 gives Tevet 7 as a most significant date. The last part reads like Revelation 21:1

 

Exodus 12:1-3 [KJV] “And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.

    Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:”

 

Exodus 12:21 “Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the Passover.”

 

          àSo when is the Passover?  It is in the springtime.

 

          àWhere does it say that it is NEW? Enoch used this spring equinox month as his first month and that was long before the flood of Noah. Tishri was the 7^th month and the conclusion of the feasts with Tabernacles.  I cannot find anywhere that Tishri is called the first month.

 

Esther 3:7 “In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.”

 

May you all be blessed with the reading of HIS word,  jfh
