Today (March 17, 2018) is the 1st day of the Jewish (Biblical) month of Nisan, which is the first day of the Biblical New Year (see Exodus 12:2).
This coming New Year appears to have the potential of being a significant year for Israel, America, and the World.
And, for that little bit of skeptic in all of us, through this site you can watch and test to see if the world is seeing any prophetically significant events.
The 14th Day of this Month (Nisan) always marks the Passover, and then the Passover Feast, which includes the Biblical Feast of Firstfruits which always falls on the first day following the first Sabbath (Saturday) following the Passover. So the Biblical Feast of Firstfruits always falls on a Sunday. We now call the Biblical Feast of Firstfruits “Resurrection Day.” We are told Jesus Christ is the “Firstfruits of the Resurrection,” and His Resurrection took place exactly on this day.
For the first 300 years (until Rome legalized Christianity and paganism started creeping in) the early Church always called those days encompassing our Lord’s Crucifixion and Resurrection the “Passover Feast” … and NEVER “Easter.” The Emperor Constantine helped disconnect the Jewish (Biblical) days of Passover from the celebration of “Easter” (which the ancient Romans and Babylonians celebrated around the first of Spring).
Interestingly, they happen to coincide once again this year.
