How We Shifted from the Biblical Calendar
Julius Caesar reformed an existing Roman calendar in 46 BC, calling it the Julian calendar. After the Romans destroyed Jerusalem in AD 70 and the Jews were scattered from one end of the earth to the other, the Roman Empire took control of Judah, and the Julian calendar became the standard. It remained in use until it was reformed again in 1582 under Gregory XIII, further reflecting the solar cycle. This Gregorian calendar is the calendar now in use in most of the world. Over time, the church moved away from the biblical, solar-lunar calendar centered on God’s yearly cycle of festivals to a strictly solar calendar centered around Roman, pagan holidays.
Ultimately, Satan does not want God’s people to follow the biblical calendar because like so many other types and shadows in the Old Testament, it points to Israel’s Messiah and affirms the accuracy of God’s Word. Satan’s goal has always been to lie and deceive. Even Daniel said: “He will think to change times (seasons) and laws” (Daniel 7:25).
