The Hebrew’s Lives began at this point, and so this month was considered the most important. By changing their calendar, God demonstrated that nothing would continue to be the same. Important events like a new job, marriage, a university degree, the birth of a child, all change our lives, but none of this compares to when we come to know the Lord Jesus . Only then does true life begin. The years we spent “enjoying”” the pleasures of this world, in slavery and suffering , are then only remembered as a testimony of the greatness and power of God.
