So why March 17th you ask. What is about this
The Flood Subsides
Gen 8:1 God had not forgotten Noah and all the animals with him in the boat; he caused a wind to blow, and the water started going down.
Gen 8:2 The outlets of the water beneath the earth and the floodgates of the sky were closed. The rain stopped,
Gen 8:3 and the water gradually went down for 150 days.
Gen 8:4 On the seventeenth day of the seventh month the boat came to rest on a mountain in the Ararat range.
That makes a difference. The 7th month in the HEBREW CALENDAR is March & April. If you read the Gregorian calendar it's July. We want the Hebrew Calendar. The day that Ark set down will start our event of year 5781.
5781 in the Hebrew calendar: 7 for 300+400 which is the letters “Shin (crown)” + “Tav (truth)” , and 8 for 80 which is the letter “Pey (mouth)”, and 1 which is the letter “Aleph (ox)”. The letter 5 is for 5×1,000 which is actually also “Aleph” as it also represents the number 1,000. As you might know the Thousand year reign.
When Was Year 1 in the Hebrew Calendar?
According to Hebrew time reckoning we are now in the 6th millennium. The Hebrew year count starts in year 3761 BCE, which the 12th-century Jewish philosopher Maimonides established as the biblical date of Creation.Years in the Jewish calendar are designated AM to identify them as part of the Anno Mundi epoch, indicating the age of the world according to the Bible. For example, the beginning of the year 2018 in the Gregorian calendar converts to year AM5778 in the Jewish calendar.
So what else happened on Nisan in the Bible you ask?
17 Nisan– Yeshua /Jesus rose from the grave, exactly three days and three nights (72 hours) after the burial; fulfilling Bible prophecies and authenticating His messiahship.
17 Nisan (circa 24th century BCE) – Noah’s Ark came to rest on mountains of Ararat[3]
