3rd Month Sivan June-July 2013

Notes regarding Pentecost and why you don't see it on this calendar as might be expected.

Some of you that usually celebrate Pentecost in the 3rd month, either on the 6th day or 9th day of the 3rd month will notice that it is absent from this calendar.

This is due to the recent discovery and the author's conviction that the count to Pentecost has been erroneously interpreted.

For the previous posts on this blog regarding a new understanding of the count, please use the blog search box (upper right)and search for "pentecost." You will find several previous posts dealing with this subject.

Miscalculation in 1st Month Calendar

Miscalculation in 1st Month Calendar

My apologies  to those of you following the calendar. It seems I have made a slight miscalculation in the 1st month calendar of the year. It's not a biggie, but I discovered it while working on next months calendar. 

The miscalculation resulted in showing a 30th day in the 1st month. While calculating the 2nd month calendar, I discovered the error. There is no 30th day in the 1st month calendar. 

This may seem a bit out of whack to some of you who hold that the first month should always be 30 days. The problem is that the astronomy doesn't lie. I have checked it several times now for both months to confirm.

2nd month calendar should be ready in a day or so. May 11 saturday will be the 1st day of the month, new moon day, which means saturdays will also be 7th day sabbaths for the 2nd month.

Here's a revised 1st month calendar eliminating the 30th day.

1st Month Aviv Apr-May 2013-2014

You may notice that the Jewish calendar has already begun the new Biblical year, and already celebrated Passover on March 25. This is in contrast to this calendar, which is just now beginning the 1st month of the new Biblical year, and will celebrate Passover on April 25, followed by the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

It is the belief of this writer that the new year must be begun fully after the turn of the season, and not in winter. The Jewish calendar may begin their 1st month of the year before the turn of the season, as long as Passover does not fall before the turn of the year. This writer believes that the 1st new moon of the year must occur following the turn of the season.

Here is the calendar for the 1st month of the new Biblical year;
