The first two weeks of August 2015 remain in Av the 5th month of the Sacred Calendar and 11th Month of the Civil calendar. From 16 August to 13 September 2015 will be Elul. According to the Biblical Sacred calendar this is the sixth (6th) month, and according to the Biblical civil calendar, It is the last or twelfth (12th) month ushering in a New year. This is the final month of the year 5775 which is also a Shemitah year and ushering the Jubilee i.e. a 50th year season in year 5776. According to the Gregorian calendar it remains the eighth (8th) month. This month was named after Augustus Caesar, one of the emperors of the Roman Empire.

This month is a period of time termed “plumpness” In Gen. 17:12- the Hebrew meaning of ‘eight’ in this scripture is plumpness that represents ‘a surplus above the perfect seven’ meaning, that which is in excess, or over and above, or overflowing in every gate of society.

Figuratively, the eighth month symbolizes fatness, rich fat, lusty and plenteous. Thus the eighth month is a time of salvation, restoration, fruitfulness, abundance and plenty (Luke 1:23-37, 66; Acts 9:33-34; 1Pe.3:20.)  The month of August is a period of time characterized by the ripening of the fruit of the date palm and summer figs.
