The true New Year:

In Exodus 12:2, God tells Moses and Aaron:

“This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.” (Exodus 12:2, KJV)

This refers to the month of Abib (or Nisan), which falls around March-April in the modern calendar. It marks the time of the Exodus from Egypt, symbolizing renewal, deliverance, and new beginnings—aligning perfectly with nature’s cycle of rebirth in spring.

So why did the world shift to January 1st?

The Change to January 1st: A Roman Influence

The shift to January was primarily due to the influence of pagan Rome and its calendar system. Here’s how it happened:
1. Julius Caesar and the Julian Calendar (45 BC)
• Before Caesar, Rome used a lunar calendar, similar to the Hebrew one. But in 45 BC, Julius Caesar implemented the Julian calendar, moving the new year to January 1st.
• January was named after Janus, the two-faced Roman god of beginnings and transitions, who looked both to the past and the future.
• This was a pagan festival, celebrating Janus with sacrifices and feasts.
2. The Catholic Church’s Endorsement
• After the fall of Rome, January 1st was abandoned by many Christian societies because of its pagan roots.
• However, in 1582, Pope Gregory XIII introduced the Gregorian calendar, keeping January 1st as the official New Year.
• This decision was part of the Catholic Church’s attempt to standardize timekeeping worldwide.

Why Did They Change It?
1. To Distort Biblical Truth
• Moving the new year away from God’s ordained time erased the biblical connection to Passover and deliverance.
• It further distanced people from the Hebrew calendar, which God established.
2. To Align with Pagan Worship
• January 1st was never about honoring God—it was about honoring Janus.
• Many ancient pagan cultures celebrated the new year with drunken feasts and debauchery, which still echoes in modern New Year’s Eve celebrations.
3. To Control Time & Society
• The Vatican and global powers have long sought to control the calendar, shaping how people think about time.
• By changing the new year, they reinforced their authority over both religious and secular life.

The True New Year is in Spring

If we look at creation, it makes sense that the year begins in the spring—when life begins anew, flowers bloom, and nature awakens. This is how God designed it. But the world’s system—run by deception—wants to erase biblical truth and replace it with man-made traditions.
