Nisan is the first month in the Biblical calendar, and it can rightly be understood as the beginning of God’s redemptive calendar. In Exodus 12, Scripture reveals that this month marks a decisive turning point in God’s plan. After centuries of slavery, the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, not only to deliver them from oppression, but to bring them into covenant relationship with Himself.

 

In this moment, God began forming His people as a distinct nation, set apart as His own possession. They were chosen to carry His redemptive purposes for the world. Nisan, therefore, is not only a month of redemption, but a month of new beginnings, a time when God resets time, opens a new season, and calls His people to step into what He has prepared.
