God’s Holy seasons:
The Hebrew calendar (הלוח העברי ha’luach ha’ivri), or Jewish calendar, is a lunisolar calendar used today predominantly for Jewish religious observances.
It determines the dates for the biblical feasts (Sabbaths of God) written in Leviticus 23:1-44.
God's holy Sabbaths:
God’s feasts are also known as His Sabbaths, because these feasts contain a Holy presence of God called Shekinah.
Exodus 31:13
“But as for you, speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘You shall surely observe My sabbaths;
for this is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.
Time on God’s calendar:
The time on the Hebrew calendar is counted according to the cycle of the moon or the behavior of the moon towards the Earth.
The 12 months on God’s calendar:
The 12 months on the Hebrew calendar represents the 12 sons of Jacob, the 12 Apostles and the 12 fruits on the tree of life as in Rev 22:1-2.
In Israel, it is an official calendar for civil purposes and provides a time frame for agriculture.
God’s feasts or holy Sabbaths were first given to Adam:
The Hebrew calendar was first given to Adam by God.
From Adam, it was then passed down to Abraham the son of Shem, the son of Terah.
During the time when Moses was writing the Torah down, He was also commanded to write down and include the Hebrew calendar among the commandments which were given to Israel as it is written in Leviticus 23:1-44.
The Hebrew Jewish calendar contains the recorded information of God’s biblical feasts (Sabbaths) and holidays which are celebrated in the different appointed times or seasons of God including the new moon and the Sabbath seasons.
