ELUL – Month of Promotion and soul searching
This is the sixth month of the religious calendar and the twelfth month of the civil calendar.
Elul is named after the Akkadian word harvest. Elul is said to be the acronym Ani L’Dodi V’Dodi Li, which means “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine” (Song of Solomon 6:3).
Haggai 1:1-2 (NKJV): “In the second year of King Darius, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying, ‘Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, saying: “This people says, ‘The time has not come, the time that the Lord’s house should be built.’”’”

Note from Peterwill:
To give you a flavour of Candice’s amazing book “365 Prophetic Revelations From The Hebrew Calendar” I selected one day from each Hebrew month – the seventh day. The number seven symbolizes completion and perfection, especially associated with God’s creation and rest on the seventh day.
ELUL 7
God is rebuilding and strengthening you just like He did in Haggai 1, when the prophet Haggai spoke to Zerubbabel about rebuilding the second temple in this sixth month of Elul. You may be wondering, What would God be strengthening and rebuilding this year in me? Every year at this time it is your temple! He wants your spirit, soul, and body prepared for the days to come.
