Pure Doctrine: The Significance Of Jesus In The Ministry
The Old Testament Passover New Testament Lord’s Supper
Biblical date: 13th Zif, 2075

And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. (Acts 17: 30-31)
We proved in the scriptures that a month begins with the New Moon. When the New Moon appears a month begins, when the next New Moon appears another month begins and so on until twelve New Moons have gone; thus resulting in one year. This can be proven in Esther 3:7. It reads “ 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.” Revelation 22:2 provides further proof “In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” The scriptures in addition to specifying that the New Moon begins the year stipulates that there are twelve months in a year. There is no proof of thirteen months or fewer months in a year. After twelve lunar months are gone a new year begins. On the fourteen of the first month is the Passover/Lord’s Supper.

 
 

The most important feast that Christ and the apostles laid a charge against those who do not observe this holy emblem in its appointed season. Exodus 12: 2, 6 “This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.” The first month is specified in Exodus13:2 “This day came ye out in the month Abib.” The 14 of Abib is the season appointed by God for man to observe the Passover/Lords Supper. In Esther 3:7 the first month was referred to as Nisan which is a word of Babylonian origin. God did not call the first month of the year Nisan; he called it Abib from the inception of the calendar. This short passage from www.answers.com/topic/nisan proves that Nisan is a Babylonian word and I quote “Nisan was the designation adopted by Jews returning from the Babylonian Exile. It appears in later biblical sources (Est. 3:7; Neh. 2:1) as well as in the Apocrypha. Nisan’s place at the head of the religious calendar may be linked with the Mishnaic statement that its first day is “the New Year for kings and festivals” (RH 1:1).” Hence the reason why the Biblical Calendar starts with thee month named Abib and not Nisan as adopted in other calendars.
