Happy New Year! children of God. Didn’t we just celebrate the New Year in January? Yes indeed. The world did acknowledge and celebrate man’s New Year, but this was not established by God. So, the question then is, when is God's New Year? This can be found in Exodus 12:1-2, 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.
Nisan/Abib is the month of the "barley ripening", or "spring.” This year, the first day of God’s New Year will begin in the evening on Wednesday, March 22nd, 2023.
Why would God establish His New Year in the spring? If we look at nature, we see that everything begins to come alive in the Spring. We see flowers bloom, trees get their leaves, daylight is longer, and animals wake up from hibernation. The earth that was once asleep is now awake. Newness of life has begun.
God said in Deuteronomy 16:1, Observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover unto the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.
As all nature celebrates the new year, let us also meditate and rejoice. How that during this time of the year, God delivered His children from Egypt; and how Jesus, our lamb, by his sacrifice, delivers us from the bondage of this world.
So, at sundown on March 22nd, 2023, gather your family together and shout Happy New Year and thank you Jesus for your sacrifice.
