However, Hashem did not command its inauguration until the following Tishrei - twelve months later. In a way, Cheshvan is a parable for the entire history of the Jewish People. When we look at our history, it seems fraught with bitterness, rejection and hardship. But in the end, the bitter sting of the scorpion will be transformed to the greatest sweetness when all the nations will come to realize who the Jewish People are and who they have always been. History Louis XIV once asked Pascal for one single piece of evidence for the existence of G-d.

No historical theory has given a satisfactory explanation why only the Jewish People have outlived the Persian, the Babylonian, the Greek and the Roman nations. You can believe what you like, but that won't change reality. You can believe with all your heart you're a Martian, but I doubt that you will turn green and sprout antennae. When Hashem created the world, He didn't create it as a vast expanse of existence all at once. Rather, He created a single point, and from there, He drew out the entire universe.
