The eleventh year is a reminder of the precision and historical accuracy of biblical prophecy.<p><b>on the seventh day of the first month</b><br>The first month in the Hebrew calendar is Nisan, which corresponds to March-April in the Gregorian calendar.

The "word of the LORD" is a common expression in prophetic literature, indicating that the message is not of human origin but is a direct revelation from God.
