"RE: Jovial: 09.29.13: Jewish Calendar"



Jovial,
I've been wanting to ask this of someone for some time now, and it seems that you probably know the answer to this.
You had written:

"I was wondering when you refer to the Jewish calendar Do you have a link to the Jewish calendar that starts with fall?"

Do the Jews in Israel currently celebrate their new year on Rosh Hashanah, the Feast of Trumpets?
Yet when I read about the first Passover, it says:

Exodus: 12:2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.

Then about the Feast of Trumpets:

Leviticus 23:24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.

Is Passover in the 1st month & Rosh Hashanah in the 7th month?
Then why is Rosh Hashanah currently celebrated as the Jewish New Year?
Is it some kind of rebellion, until Zechariah 12:10 is finally fulfilled?
Or is there another explanation that I know nothing about?

This is why I'm asking you the question, because I'm sure that you will be able to answer this for me.
Thank you,
Gino
