Hebrew Months for Judgement

This may help interpret prophecy.

First, one must realize there are 2 calendars, religious and civil.

The Bible uses the religious calendar (below)

Scriptures for times of judgement

Genesis 7:11 King James Version (KJV) – Flood

11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

Ezekiel 24 King James Version (KJV) – Invasion

24 Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

2 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.

*** also 2 Kings 25:1, Jer39:1, Ezek 33:21

2 Kings 25:3 King James Version (KJV) – Famine

3 And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.

Zechariah 1 King James Version (KJV) – Tribulation

7 Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the Lord unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,

8 I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white.

** Zech 6- horses released. 2nd year of Darius , lasted until 4th year

History for judgement

Historically, the 9th of Av is a sad day, when on different years the Jewish temple was destroyed.

Av is the 5th month, and occurs in the summer.

Summary

2nd month – Iyar – May – flood

4th month – Tammuz – July – famine

5th month – Av – July/ August – destruction of Temple by invading enemies

10th month – Tevet – end December/ early January – Invasion

11th month – Sevet – January – February – Tribulation

So it looks like YHVH chooses extreme weather – summer and winter mostly

Jesus once said

Matthew 24:20

But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day

My impression is that He was warning us.

Since most people do not pray, his warning will go unheeded.

It seems to me that both an invasion by enemies and tribulation will start in winter, and result in famine by summer.

War bombs destroy land and farms, and lives, so there is no harvest, and this results in food shortages.

Also, although YHVH has promised He will not cause a great flood again, as in Noah’s time, many local floods could occur due to severe weather.

This is all just something to think about as we see events unfold.
