Exodus 12:1 - 12:2,13:4
2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you
The beginning of months is the month of Abib, ordained
by the Almighty GOD this month generally falls during
the modern day months of March/April.
Abib is a Hebrew word that means standing corn. The
celebration of the new year in the month of January was
falsely kept by the ancient Romans. This celebration was
the worship of the false deity Janus. Janus was consider
a gatekeeper. He holds a janitor's staff in his left hand
and keys in his right hand when acting as a guardian of
entrances and exits. The Romans also considered him
responsible for bringing agriculture and law to mankind.
This false deity influenced what continues today as
January 1st celebration that requires the worshiper to
look both forwards and backwards a for a gateway for
good resolutions.
