The Biblical New Year Has Begun

The first visible crescent was sighted from Israel at sunset on Friday, March 20, 2026 — the same evening as the vernal equinox and the onset of Shabbat. Year 3,472 from the Exodus opens on rest.

Conjunction: Mar 19, 03:23 JER · Equinox: Mar 20, 16:45 JER · Crescent: Mar 20, ~18:00 JER · Moon age: 38.4h

What if three ancient calendars — each running on its own track for thousands of years — were designed to converge at the exact moments history turned?

THE RETURN

A Reconstruction of Sacred Time

The seven-day Sabbath cycle, the 360-day prophetic year, and the 364-day structural calendar each appear independently in Scripture. Mathematics guarantees they must converge every 32,760 days. This site tracks that convergence — live, anchored to the biblical day reference at Jerusalem sunset.

Prophetic Watch

Updated March 21, 2026 — Nisan 1, Year 3472

New Year Confirmed — Nisan 1
The biblical new year began at sunset Friday, March 20, 2026. The vernal equinox, the first robust crescent, and the onset of Shabbat converged in a single two-hour window over Jerusalem. Under the strict Return Calendar constraint model (equinox + crescent ≥36h + Friday sunset), this triple alignment has occurred only six times in 2,100 years. The year opens on rest.
Close #20 — March 24, 2026 (Nisan 4)
The 360-day prophetic ring completes a full arc near March 24. This is a prophetic watch day within the Return Calendar framework. Three independent cycles — the 7-day Sabbath, the 360-day prophetic year, and the 364-day structural calendar — are converging inside a narrow window.
Passover Approaches — April 3, 2026 (Nisan 14)
Under the Return Calendar, Passover (Nisan 14) falls on Friday, April 3 — followed by the First Day of Unleavened Bread on Shabbat (April 4) and Firstfruits on Sunday (April 5). The Hillel calendar places Passover on April 2 — one day early, consistent with the model's predicted 1-day conjunction-based divergence.

This section is updated as events develop. The Return Calendar does not make date-specific predictions. It identifies convergence windows anchored to verifiable mathematics. The reader weighs the evidence.
