Thanks for your support :-)
As for Biblical, I'm still trying to figure out how Tishrei became the first month, when it's Nissan that's ordained in the OT, and how Rosh HaShonnah became the new-years celebration. ~shrug~ :-)
Can anyone think of a Biblical epoch? I remember hearing a proof somewhere down the lines where a significant day in the timeline of the crucifixion was a double-sabbath, an event that only happened once in X number of years or something?
