Common Misconceptions About the New Year

• Traditional Celebrations: Many celebrate New Year's Eve by going out, which contradicts scriptural teachings.
• Calendar Reversal: The common calendar is a reversal of scriptural guidance.
  • Exodus 12:2 states this month shall be the beginning of months, marking it as the first month of the year.
• Misled Beliefs: January is not the first month; Monday is not the first day of the week.
  • The enemy's cunning reversal of truths.

Scriptural Reference and Explanation
