Apparently, I can't create articles. The following is how I have learned, and proven, how to set the beginning of the Scriptural calendar.
In our modern era, determining the first day of the year is easy. There are many good sky maps, both tangible and digital, which make this exercise take moments. However, the ancients didn't have light pollution and kept very detailed records of the sky, so the movements of the heavenly bodies was a natural calendar for them.
To determine the true Rosh Hashannah (head of the year), one simply needs to find out when the full moon is going to rise in Virgo, then count back 14 days to the new moon (first sunset after the conjunction), which will likely rise in Pieces. Virgo holds barley in one hand and corn in the other.
Proof for this method: 1) EW Bulinger wrote in "The Witness of the Stars" the story of redemption, begining with Virgo. He has many proofs of the ancient, pre-Greek origin of the constellations and this story. 2) The Last Supper took place in 30 CE when the full moon and Spica rose together in Virgo. 3) Six and a half months after Passover, the new moon sets in Virgo, signaling Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets). 4) If literal barley ripening is used, this can be manipulated by planting early or late in the fall, moving the harvest date by weeks. 5) When the Israelites wandered in the wilderness for 40 years, they didn't plant barley, so the heavens would have been their only method of knowing the Moedim (appointed times). 6) According to britanica.com, the Greeks violated the Jerusalem temple in December of 164 BCE. Nine months earlier, Virgo was on the horizon at moonrise, making the calendar correct under the above calculations.

1 Thessalonians 4:3-18 ISR
For this is the desire of Alahym: your set-apartness! - that you should abstain from whoring, that each one of you should know how to possess his own vessel in set-apartness and respect, not in passion of lust, like the nations who do not know Alahym, not to overstep and take advantage of his brother in this matter, because the Master is the revenger of all such, as we indeed said to you before and earnestly warned. For Alahym did not call us to uncleanness, but in set-apartness. Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but Alahym, who also gives us Yahuah’s Set-apart Spirit. And it is not necessary to write to you about brotherly love, for you yourselves are taught by Alahym to love one another, for, in fact, you do so toward all the brothers who are in Makedonia. But we call upon you, brothers, that you do so more and more, and to make it your ambition to live peaceably, and to attend to your own, and to work with your hands, as we commanded you, so that you behave decently toward those who are outside, and not be in any need. Now, brothers, we do not wish you to be ignorant concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you be sad as others who have no expectation. For if we believe that Yahshua died and rose again, so also Alahym shall bring with Yahuah those who sleep in Yahshua. For this we say to you by the word of the Master, that we, the living who are left over at the coming of the Master shall in no way go before those who are asleep. Because the Master Himself shall come down from heaven with a shout, with the voice of a chief messenger, and with the trumpet of Alahym, and the dead in Messiah shall rise first. Then we, the living who are left over, shall be caught away together with them in the clouds to meet the Master in the air - and so we shall always be with the Master. So, then, encourage one another with these words.

The bible's culture about names is something we have lost over time. If you have a good name, that means you have honor and character. A good family name meant the family was upright and had positive characteristics.
If someone had a bad name, that could carry through generations. There is even a scale of disrespect to respect in the Bible. From highest to lowest
A name recorded in the bible is the highest honor.
Being referenced positively without recording a name is the second highest. (Being numbered with Israel for instance)
Not being mentioned is kind of the baseline.
Purposely not being mentioned is shameful. A huge slam.
Having your name blotted out of the record to never be mentioned again is the worst.
The society would shun anybody who did something awful, even to the point of besmirching a family name.
Today, we do the opposite. The worst behavior gets the most attention. How many names do we know because the people committed horrific crimes? Even within the last week how many got famous for doing bad things?
But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
(2Ti 3:1-7)
