Why do the One Nation Calendar Coalition and other Israelites sometimes observe Pesach (Passover) a month apart?
Before the O.N.C.C. can observe Pesach, “the Abib” (the sprouting / the green ears / the spring), an agricultural occurrence in the land of Israel must take place. Once the barley is observed in the twelfth month, the following new moon (crescent) is declared the beginning of our new year. If, however, the barley is not observed by the end of the twelfth month, an additional month is added to our year, giving us a 13th month (leap year). That following month (after the 13th month) would be declared the Abib, as the climate would be warm enough to prompt the growth of the barley in the land of Israel, and we would keep the Pesach on the eve of the fourteen day (in its proper appointed time and season. Ex.12:1-2; Ex.13:3-4; Deut.16:1). In contrast, however, those who follow the Jewish (Hillel II) calendar, observe Pesach according to a fixed/pre-calculated time that does not take into consideration whether the Abib has occurred. Although the Hillel calendar does have seven (7) leap years
