HAPPY BIBLICAL NEW YEAR!
“This month shall be for you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year for you” Exodus 12:2
The Hebrew month of Nisan is known as the “king of the months.” It marks liberation and new beginnings, specifically the Exodus from Egypt, which is commemorated during Passover (Pesach) on the 15th of Nisan.
The Hebrew month of Nisan is linked to the tribe of Judah, symbolizing leadership and strength. The Hebrew letters spelling “Nisan” can be rearranged to form the word for “king,” pointing to its dignified position on God’s prophetic timeline.
Nisan’s themes of miracles and redemption are central to its observance. Passover is celebrated during this month and commemorates the Israelites’ miraculous liberation from Egyptian bondage, serving as a profound reminder of freedom and divine intervention.
Overall, Nisan embodies renewal, leadership, and deliverance, making it a pivotal period in the Jewish calendar for reflecting on spiritual freedom and reaffirming faith.
Two weeks before the Israelites began the Exodus, God spoke to His servant, Moses, regarding setting the Jewish calendar and sanctifying the Hebrew month of Nisan. He started by saying:
- “This month [Nisan] shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.” —Exodus 12:2
- Hebrew letter associated with Nisan: Hey (Hei), hey is related to going forth, bearing fruit, or exploding with life!
