The Calendar of God - The Earliest Calendar in the World

Many nations around the world have their own calendars, but which one is the earliest? There exists a calendar that predates all nations and even existed before Noah, making it undoubtedly the earliest calendar in the world.

Genesis 7:11, states: “In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.”

The Hebrew calendar was created before Noah, and it is more accurate to call it the Jehovah Calendar.

According to the teachings of Jewish Rabbis, the first day of Ethanim is the sixth day of creation, which is the day Adam was created. This year (2024 AD) is 5784 FC (From Creation).

The Civil Calendar considers Ethanim as the first month. The months that appear in Genesis are counted in numbers, using the Civil Calendar until Exodus. And the LORD spoke 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. Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for a house” (Exodus 12:1-3)

That month is the seventh month of the Civil Calendar, known as Abib. From that point on, Abib became the first month, which marks the start of the Biblical Calendar. The seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth months of the Civil Calendar then become the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth months of the Biblical Calendar. Dates after Exodus are all calculated using the Biblical Calendar.

Historic Peace Treaty or Preparation for the Antichrist?

For Evangelical Christians, it’s difficult to look at major developments in the Middle East without wondering about biblical prophecy. Should we rejoice over the historic peace treaty between Israel and the UAE and Bahrain? Or is this leading to a dangerous, false peace that will only hasten the reign of the Antichrist?

Let’s first recognize just how historic this peace treaty actually is.

A Unique Development in the Modern History of Israel

For 30 years, from 1948 until 1978, not a single Middle Eastern nation made peace with Israel. It was not until 1979 that Egypt made that historic move. It ultimately factored into the assassination of the courageous Egyptian leader Anwar Sadat.

The next Middle Eastern (and Muslim) nation to make peace with Israel was Jordan in 1995, 16 years later. Since then, not a single Islamic, Middle Eastern nation has made peace with Israel. That is, until now, 25 years later.

This is completely beyond anything we have seen in the modern history of Israel.
