Why we have a New Year?


Have you ever wonder why we have a calendar with 12 month?
And each time at end of month 12 we go back to month 1, and do it again and again?

God created time. The Bible expresses time based on a lunar calendar.
Lunar calendar - is a measure of time the moon rotates around the earth.
The moon goes around the earth once every 27.25 days. 
The earth rotates around the sun once per each 13 times the moon rotates the earth.
One year in  lunar calendar is 354.25 days.

God created order. Man created the calendar.
The calendar is a created system of operation of time dividing it with the purpose to establish synchronization within society.

Just to simplify - in 1582 Catholic European countries of Portugal, Italy, Spain and Poland adopted the Gregorian Calendar, named after Pope Gregory XIII.
It took about 200 years for the Protestant European country of England and its colonies to switch over to the Gregorian Calendar (switch from the Julian calendar).

Is our calendar perfect? NO. BUT, it is the most accurate one reconciling the solar events with the lunar ones.

THEREFORE - We have 12 months ahead of us. 365 days. Each day with 24 hours.
                                The sun is still and we still take the same time to go around it.
                                God created time and structured it in a logical manner.
                                The fundamental matters of life have not changed since creation.
