"The sons of Issachar had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do." — 1 Chronicles 12:32 Issachar's Calendar gives you a daily view of the Hebrew calendar — what today is on God's calendar, what the Hebrew month means, which tribe of Israel it's connected to, and what scripture says about the day. WHAT YOU SEE EVERY DAY • Today's Hebrew date alongside the Gregorian date • The Hebrew month, its meaning, and the tribe of Israel connected to it • Active feast days, Rosh Chodesh, and Omer count • Sunset time for your location — so the Hebrew day rolls over right at sundown, the way God designed it • A devotional synopsis of the day's biblical significance GOD'S APPOINTED TIMES Every Hebrew month carries a character. Sivan is the month of Shavuot — when God gave the Torah at Sinai and poured out His Spirit at Pentecost. Tishrei holds four of the seven appointed times: Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot. Nissan is the month of Passover and Resurrection. The app walks you through each month's meaning, the tribe assigned to it, and every feast that falls within it — all rooted in scripture. ON THIS DAY IN SCRIPTURE Dated biblical events — anchored to the exact Hebrew date they happened. The giving of the Torah. The outpouring at Pentecost. The dedication of the Temple. The completion of Jerusalem's wall. Dozens of moments from scripture, placed on the calendar where they actually occurred. ORIGINAL-LANGUAGE DEPTH Key words are shown in Hebrew and Greek — with transliteration, literal meaning, and root context. The original languages are primary. Translations are aids. WORKS OFFLINE Everything works after the first launch — no internet required. No account required. No sign-in required. Your settings stay on your device. WHO IT'S FOR Issachar's Calendar is for Christians who want to understand the Hebrew roots of their faith — prophetic believers, Messianic followers of Yeshua, and anyone curious about God's appointed times. The name comes from 1 Chronicles 12:32: men who had understanding of the times, to know what they ought to do.
