Which Calendar is YAH's Calendar?
There is a biblical calendar and the Julian Calendar, now called the Gregorian Calendar
The Hebrew Calendar
Lunar cycle defines months
The Judaic Calendar consists of both the Agricultural and the Religious Calendar
The 1st Month (Nissan) (1st Advent of Christ) = Agricultural Calendar = Nissan /Hebrew Calendar = Tishri
First month of the Religious Calendar = Passover, Feasts of Unleavened Bread (7 days long), First Fruits, then 50 days later, you have the Feast of Pentecost
And in the 7th Month (Tishri), (2nd Advent of Christ) we have:
Religious Calendar = Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement & Feast of Tabernacles; the 8th day (eternity)
Happy New Year (Shanatov) Happy Birthday to the world. This is the 1st day of creation according to the Hebrew calendar.
The Gregorian Calendar
Solar cycle defines years (we in America, go by the Gregorian calendar) which originates from Pope Gregory who got it from Julius Calendar (creator of the Julian Calendar) 70 B.C. (paganism).
Satan wants us off the biblical calendar so we can't know the signals and compare them to the Word.
[Dan 7:25 KJV] 25 And he shall speak [great] words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Times and Laws = Moeds (YAH's enemies wants to get us off the Hebrew calendar and to focus on the Gregorian calendar).
We add 1 day for leap
years. Hebrews add an entire month. (Get a Hebrew and Gregorian calendar
combined). As a matter of fact, we have placed a link on our sidebar here for the IBR Calendar which may give you even more insight and details.
THE HEBREW YEAR
[Gen 1:14-18 HNV] 14 God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of sky to give light on the eretz," and it was so. 16 God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the expanse of sky to give light to the eretz, 18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good.
We are told in the Apocryphal Books that God's calendar is based on a 364-day calendar, not on the Gregorian 365-day calendar. (Just another way in which we have been bamboozled or misdirected in hopes that we would not be able to correct ourselves in time.) We are warned, in fact, in the Apocryphal Book of Jubliees, that in the end times, our days may become "confused" because we have been dealing with a 365-day calendar rather than God's Calendar of 364 days.
[Side Note: A "month" (moonth) = The period from 1 New Moon to a Full Month to the next New Moon. A New Moon begins at the first reflection of light from the dark moon.]
The Old Testament Book of Leviticus Chapter 23 gives us detail on the different Moedims that we are to honor and celebrate. And in Leviticus 23:24, we are told that the Feast of Trumpets comes in the 7th month, 1st day of the month. Psalm 81:3 tells us that it comes, in the New Moon and we are to blow up the trumpets.
[Psa 81:3-4 HNV] 3 Blow the shofar at the New Moon, At the full moon, on our feast day. 4 For it is a statute for Yisra'el, An ordinance of the God of Ya`akov.
However, the details on identifying these days (confirming Gen 1:14 above) are found in the New Testament Book [which the Ashkenaski Jews (referred to as the "other people" in the verses below) do not refer] of:
Jubilees 2:9 (Eth Cepher) - "And ELOHIYM appointed the sun to be a great sign on the earth for days and for Shabbathoth and for months and for feasts and for years and for Shabbathoth of years and for jubilees and for all seasons of the years. [10 And it divides the light from the darkness and for prosperity, that all thins may prosper which shoot and grow on the earth. These three kinds he made on the fourth day."
And also, is now a fulfilled prophecy which explains as to how we got off cycle with the calendar in:
Jubilees 6:32-38 (Eth Cepther) - "And command you the children of Yisra'el that they observe the years according to this reckoning three hundred and sixty four days, and the will constitute a complete year, and they will not disturb its time from its days and from its feasts; for everything will fall out in them according to their testimony, and they will not leave out any day nor disturb any feasts. 33 But if they do neglect and do not observe them according to his commandment, then they will disturb all their seasons and the years will be dislodged from this order, and they will disturb the seasons and the years will be dislodged and they will neglect their ordinances. 34 And the children of Yisra'el will forget and will not find the path of the years, and will forget the New Moons, and seasons, and Shabbathoth and they will go wrong as to all the order of the years.
35 For I know and from henceforth will I declare it unto you, and it is not of my own devising; for the cepher lies written before me, and on the heavenly tablets the division of days is ordained, lest they forget the feasts of the covenant and walk according to the feasts of the other people after their error and after their ignorance.
36 For there will be those who will assuredly make observations of the moon how it disturbs the season and comes in from year to year ten days too soon.
37 For this reason the years will come upon them when they will disturb the order, and make an abominable day the day of testimony, and an unclean day a feast day, and they will confound all the days, the holy with the unclean, and the unclean day with the holy; for they will go wrong as to the months and Shabbathoth and feasts and jubilees.
38 For this reason I command and testify to you that you may testify to them; for after your death your children will disturb them, so that they will not make the year three hundred and sixty four days only, and for this reason they will go wrong as to the New Moons and seasons and Shabbathoth and feasts, and they will eat all kinds of blood with all kinds of flesh."

FALL 2018 - 2019 - 2nd Advent Correction
Based on the timing of the New Moon this year, 2018 which did not appear until (Tishrei) September 23, 2018, there has been a little discrepancy as to the actual 2nd Advent dates beginning with the Feasts of Trumpets which sets off the Fall Feast Calendar.
Although the Jewish Calendar reflects The Feasts of Trumpets to fall on September 9-10, it does not fall after a New Moon. We believe that the true Rash Hashanah/Feast of Trumpets will follow the actual New Moon, according to the scriptures, and therefore the true dates would be October 10-11, 2018.
So let us begin again, for the 1st round beginning September 9th was a true "rehearsal" as we continue to wait in great anticipation and expectation for the coming of our Bridegroom to Rapture us away.
