WHY DO THE JEWISH DAYS BEGIN IN AT SUNDOWN?

Great explanation:


In the way of the world the day leads to night, then everything goes from light to darkness. Everything is in the process of darkening. We go from day to night, from youth to aging, from strength to weakness, and ultimately from life to death. Day to night. Its the way of the world, but is not the way of God.
When God created the universe it is written "there was evening, and then there was morning". The day began with night. There was night and then there was day. It is the night that comes first. This is why all Jewish holidays begin at sunset. Not only Jewish holidays but every biblical day. Each day begins at sunset. There is evening and then there is morning.
The world moves from day to night , but in God it's the opposite. It goes from night to day...from darkness to light. The children of this world live from day to night, but the children of God live from night to day. That's the order of our lives. We go from darkness, from the time we are born, to light, from weakness to strength, from despair to hope, from sin to redemption, from tear to joy, and from death to life.
Every night in your life will lead to the dawn. So live according to God's sacred order of time...that your entire life be always moving away from the darkness and to the light.
What darkness is in your life, the darkness of fear, of sin, of problems, of gloom? Turn away from it, and turn to the light of day.
