October 1, 4026 B.C.E. - It was likely in the fall of the year 4026 B.C.E. that Adam became a living soul as stated in Genesis 1:27 for mankind's most ancient calendars began counting time in the autumn around October 1 or at the first new moon of the lunar civil year.
October 1, 537 B.C.E. - Another date that can be used as a pivotal point is the year 539 B.C.E., supported by various historical sources as the year for the overthrow of Babylon by Cyrus the Persian. (Secular sources for Cyrus’ reign include Diodorus, Africanus, Eusebius, and Ptolemy, as well as the Babylonian tablets.) During Cyrus’ first year his decree releasing the Jews from exile was given. And, as considered in the article on CYRUS, it is very probable that the decree was made by the winter of 538 B.C.E. or toward the spring of 537 B.C.E. This would permit the Jews time to make necessary preparations, effect the four-month journey to Jerusalem, and still arrive there by the seventh month (Tishri, or about October 1) of 537 B.C.E.—Ezr 1:1-11; 2:64-70; 3:1.

October 1, 1914 - Christ's Kingdom to be set up in the heavens - Chronology:2,520 years from Autumn of 607BCE runs to autumn of 1914CE.

From January 1, 1CE to about October of 1914 is 1913.75 years and 606.25 & 1913,75=2,520 years. This then signaled the end of the gentile times and the start of God's kingdoms rule in the heavens.

Also in Mark 13:15-20 it says: 15 Let the man on the housetop not come down nor go inside to take anything out of his house; 16 and let the man in the field not return to the things behind to pick up his outer garment. 17 Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days! 18 Keep praying that it may not occur in wintertime; 19 for those days will be days of a tribulation such as has not occurred from the beginning of the creation that God created until that time, and will not occur again. 20 In fact, unless Jehovah had cut short the days, no flesh would be saved. But on account of the chosen ones whom he has chosen, he has cut short the days.
Along these same lines, it's interesting to note that October is just before wintertime. Not that this is anything more than a hope and speculation, but it is an interesting scripture to ponder on when thinking of the month of October.
