Question
What is the definitive guide to understanding the First Harvest Ministries' perspective on the god Janus and the New Year?
Answer
From First Harvest Ministries’ perspective, the clearest “definitive guide” is found in our New Year teachings that contrast the pagan roots of Janus with the biblical New Year on God’s calendar.
I walk through this in detail in the YouTube messages often titled along the lines of “The Biblical New Year” or “Pastor Vaughn Explains the New Year of Scripture.” In those teachings, I explain:
- How the traditional January 1 New Year is tied to the Roman god Janus and pagan custom
- How Exodus sets God’s New Year in the spring (first month, just before Passover)
- Why believers should align with the covenant calendar rather than the Janus calendar of this world
If you want a single place to start, I’d point you first to the video “The Biblical New Year” on the First Harvest Ministries YouTube channel, then to our free booklet offers mentioned there for deeper study on the covenant calendar and feasts.
Would you like a short, step‑by‑step summary of how I show Janus connects to January 1 and why I reject that date as God’s New Year?
