Happy new year folks, well that's according to Jewish/Hebrew Calendar. Today the 21st of March 2015 is the first day of the first month, I.e. The month of Nisan-Abib.

All the dates you see in the bible are according to this calendar and not the Gregorian calendar we use today.

Nisan 1 (March 20) is the jewish religious new year. Their civil new year is Tishri 1 (Sept 14). That is when their year really changes from 5775 to 5776.

The religious new year doesn't change their year number, it is the civil new year that is the real new year. We are still in 5775 of the jewish calender.

By Sept 14 or Tishri 1; we will have their civil new year -the real new year; 5776. That is when they celebrate the Feast of Trumpets or Rosh Hoshana.

Nice one bro, but if you looked up the link I posted you'll see March 21 is Nisan 1. I agree it's still the year 5775.
My point of concern however, is why pastors and people generally refer to dates in the bible as the normal Gregorian calendar. E.g. Genesis 8:13 talks about the first month

And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry. — Genesis 8:13 (KJV)

Many people, including pastors would refer to this as January 1, but in actual fact it is Nisan 1, which always fall somewhere around March/April every year.
