Kings that messed with the calendar
Don't you think that God knew that this thing about the calendar will become a big issue that even the evil one (the devil) will try to hide and destroy every information that contains the season and days in which God blesses a mans soul and makes man identify himself with his creator?
off course He did! That Is why He gave the law (old testament) to Moses.
In 1 Chronicles 12:32 He commanded Israel that the sons of Issachar, from the tribe of Issachar, should be the people that reveal times and seasons in which God blesses the earth through Israel. Those are the people who had the understanding of the times and also designed God's calendar.
But because the world has been ruled by many leaders with evil motives, men that did not fear God (used by the devil to expose the lies and destroy the truth).
These were kings emperors that worshipped the planets in the universe as their small gods. In fact in the book of Daniel 2:10-11 talks about a great king who had evil counsellors thronging around him. These men were magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans who worshipped and inquired for wisdom and counsel for the king from the small gods (devil). They would give the king advise of how to gain power and influence over his kingdom. And if a king would desire to expand his kingdom and conquer other kings and nations, then they would advise him to give sacrifices of human blood.
In Exodus 1:15-16 , Pharaoh, King of Egypt commands that every male son born of a Hebrew (Israel, Jewish woman) must be killed.
In Matthew 2:16 Herod commands the death of all the male children that were born from the age of two and under (blood sacrifices) and because of their evil deeds they even went as far as trying to destroy and wipe out the truth from the face of the earth, and the calendar has been one of their main targets.
If they succeeded to destroy God's calendar, then man would not be able to find his way back to the seasons where a man's soul is commanded to be good, do good and maintain the standard of holiness in his life (Exodus 19:5-6, Lev 11:44-45, Num 28:12).
Here are some kings and emperors that have contributed to the designing of the Gregorian secular calendar that gets it's nature and seasons from pagan worship.
