Meaning of YEAR

The Jewish year is twelve or thirteen lunar months, and in the first case it is called common and in the second it is called emboslimic. The beginning of the year coincided with the beginning of spring, and this was common among the people of the Middle East (Ex. 12:2).



The Jewish year is twelve or thirteen lunar months, and in the first case it is called common and in the second it is called emboslimic. The beginning of the year coincided with the beginning of spring, and this was common among the people of the Middle East (Ex. 12:2).

In the last books of the Bible the month of Nisan is mentioned as the first of the year and Adar as the twelfth. The modern Jewish designation for the new year appears in the prophet Ezekiel (Ez. 40:1).

Moses organized the calendar, and another reorganization was made at the time of the inauguration of the Temple in Jerusalem.

This calendar begins with the month of Tisri, in which the new temple was inaugurated; but it did not come to be generally used until the first century for civil purposes, although it is true that from ancient times they celebrated religious festivals according to the religious calendar (Deut. 16:13; Ex. 23:16; 34:22), which began around autumn and made the main religious festivals coincide with the festivities.

In addition to the astronomical or civil year, the Old Testament indicates two other types of years: the "Sabbath Year" (Lev. 25:4), which must be considered a year of rest and which occurred every seven years, similar to what It happens with Saturday compared to the other days of the week.

This year had an impact on agriculture, because the lands were left fallow (Lev. 25:1-7); on people, who were freed, whether they had incurred debts or were slaves (Ex. 21:2) and on finances (Deut. 15:7).

The "Jubilee Year", which was celebrated when seven weeks of years were completed, that is, every half century. In it the alienated lands were once again the property of their rightful owner, and there was freedom for all the inhabitants of Israel (Lev. 25:10). The seasons of the year are not always clearly defined in the Bible.

The Hebrews had several events that served as a basis for counting the years: the creation of the world, the exodus (Ex. 19:1; 1 Kings 6:1), the building of Solomon's temple (1 Kings 6:1 ; 8:1, 2), the captivity of Babylon (Ez. 33:21; 40:1) or the beginning of the different reigns (Solomon, David, Herod, etc.). See TIME.



What can you do to inspire others to defend the truth with both courage and love?

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Fighting for the Truth and Love

John MacArthur
In a world where truth is under attack, few rise to defend it. But let's remember that our apathy won't be an excuse before Christ. In Revelation, we see how He rebuked the churches that tolerated falsehood. Let's do the same, bravely defend the truth.
If you find your conscience vanishing, you must realize the seriousness of your condition and repent; beseech God for a clear, functioning conscience

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Holy Hatred of Sin

John MacArthur
We desperately need to recover a holy hatred of sin. We need to do this corporately as a church, but we also need to do it individually as believers. Sin is surely not a pleasant subject to study or preach on, but it is necessary.
Our task is to do what the psalmist David did: He didn’t worry about “great matters” or things “too profound” for him.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Calm And Quiet

David Jeremiah
According to medical researchers at Duke University, there is a “vicious cycle” involving insomnia, anxiety, and depression. It’s sort of a “which came first: the chicken or the egg?” scenario.
When we learn His purposes and make them our prayers, we are giving Him the opportunity to act.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

The Rope of Prayer

David Jeremiah
Daniel was a man who communicated with heaven. He prayed fervently, consistently, and for the will of God. He knew nothing of praying only before meals, at bedtime, and when he really needed God’s help.
Depression is apt to turn us away from the ordinary commonplace things of God's creation

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

The Initiative Against Depression

Oswald Chambers
A human being is capable of depression, otherwise there would be no capacity for exaltation. There are things that are calculated to depress, things that are of the nature of death; and in taking an estimate of yourself, always take into account the capacity for depression.
