The Hebrew Jewish calendar is a lunisolar calendar, or fixed lunar year, based on twelve lunar months.
The 12 months on God’s Hebrew (Jewish calendar):
The spiritual meaning of the twelve months represents the twelve sons of Jacob (twelve tribes of Israel) on the Hebrew calendar,
also being the twelve fruits that grew on the tree of life, (known as the tree of Torah) as it is written in –
Revelation 22:2-3
2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits,
each tree yielding its fruit every month.
The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 And there shall be no more curse,
but the throne of God (kingdom of God) and of the Lamb shall be in it,
and His servants shall serve Him.
It is written in Revelation 22:14;
Blessed are those who keep His commandments (Mitzvah),
that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the 12 gates into the city.
The Tree of life brought forth 12 fruits which are the 12 months on God’s calendar:
Each Jewish lunar month starts with the new moon,
(New moon commemorating the beginning of every month on the Hebrew Jewish calendar).
The names of the twelve regular months are:
The 1st month is called Nisan (30 days), representing Judah, Judah stands for the political system.
