How to Calculate When Jesus Was Born

How can you nail down a time frame of when Jesus Christ was born? Christmas is celebrated as His birth, but when was Christ born? The Bible does help us have a good idea of when He was born. There are a few keys to know the answer. This video will focus on one - that is, John the Baptist’s birth. The true date of Jesus’ birth can be identified by figuring out John the Baptist’s birth. John’s birth can be identified by figuring out when Elizabeth (John the Baptist’s mother) became pregnant. And the Bible does give clues as to when Elizabeth became pregnant! It tells us when John’s father was serving in the Temple, when he finished, when he went home, and when Elizabeth became pregnant.

One thing must to be true. There's NO "GREEN GRASS", for the flocks of lambs to be eaten in winter time. 🙏🏾🔥❤️

Please don't let this divide us as believers, truth will come out and there are mysteries that we don't know why. Jesus was born for our salvation and that is what really matters. I will continue as always I love to sing Handel's Messiah and it's in the first week in December. Let's not divide because one celebrates in December and another in the fall or spring. He, Jesus Christ was born to die for our sins.

But the most important fact is that He was born, to live, die and to resurrect.... to save us we will let him
My testimony is that Jesus is The

I love when we can see the truth of the bible by looking back on factual history such as dates and events. It just proves how real it all is ❤️

The date is really not that important. The most important point is that he was born. Focus on the multi-layered significance of his birth and all thar it has led to.

the mother of john was pregnant at the month of June so you can count sixth month begin in July in Which a month followed by the month of June. 1st-july, 2nd- August, 3rd- September, 4th- October, 5th-november, 6th-december. And then Mary was pregnant of Jesus Christ. And you can count 9 months before Christ was born. Starts at 1st-January, 2nd- February, 3rd-march, 4th-april, 5th-may, 6th-June, 7th-july, 8th-august, and 9th month is SEPTEMBER. and around September 16th-29th Jesus was born it's because the mother of john was pregnant in the middle days of the month of June. Just as christ will born at the middle of the month or at the last day of the month.

Hope you all understand it very well :)

Thank you tomorrows world for this video. And now I truly understand the scriptures 😇

Shepherds were only out in the fields watching over their sheep in the lambing season which is in Spring. Spring in Israel is March to May .

Ethanim, the name of the seventh month of the Canaanite calendar corresponding to the later Hebrew Tishri or to our September - October (1 Kings 8:2).
The Israelites, like the Orientals in general, followed the lunar month, beginning with the new moon. In Hebrew month is yerah, which means moon, and hodes, which means new moon. The months had alternatively 29 or 30 days. To distinguish the different months the Canaaneans names, which are related to the seasons of the year, were used.
In the Bible occur the months Abib, which means green ears of corn, and stood for March-April (Exodus 13:14; Deuteronomy 21:1); Ziv, meaning flower, equivalent of April-May (II Kings 6:1, 37); ETHANIM, meaning constant waters, for September -October (1 Kings 8:2) and Bul, which means rain, for October-November (1 Kings 6:38).

Towards the end of his stories of Jesus' infancy. Luke describes Mary's remembrance of these events, "And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart (Luke 2:19)." From this indication, Luke thereby revealed Mary as his first eyewitness from the beginning. From her story to Luke, therefore we can derive when Jesus was born.
Luke 1:5-9
Luke 1:10-25
The incensing in the Temple indicated a specific feast was being celebrated, the Feast of Tabernacles or Dedication of the Temple. This feast originated from the first dedication of the Temple by King Solomon who timed the dedication with the feast of Booths (in Hebrew Succoth or Sukkot).
1 Kings 8:1-2
All the men of Israel assembled before King Solomon during the festival in the month of Ethanim (the seventh month). In the original Roman calendar this would correspond to the month of September, so that if we calculate the time of the feast, it would have been around September 18-24. Then when Zechariah returned home and Elizabeth conceived, it would have been around September 25.
Luke 1:26-38
The time in the story of the Annunciation to Mary and her subsequent conception of Jesus is mentioned twice: in v. 26 "In the sixth month, " and in v. 36, "she whom people called barren is now in her sixth month."
To determine this date of Mary's conception of the Lord, we simply have to add 6 months to September 25, exactly the date celebrated by the church.

Where I come from September 29th is known as Michaelmas or the Feast of St. Michael and All Angels. I remember reading about Michaelmas at school, not understanding what it was and my teacher just said "Michaelmas is Christmas". Nothing in the tradition of Michael and all angels links to the birth of Christ, so I never understood why she linked it to Christmas. I think this video has just answered that question for me. September 29th is the birthday of Christ.

It doesn't make sense that Mary and Joseph would be traveling in winter, with Mary being pregnant. That is a dangerous situation for her and the baby inside her. We know that they were traveling to be counted in the census, and to pay their taxes. It is unlikely that the Romans would schedule that for the winter, knowing it would be difficult for people to travel, and many would stay home. They would do it in the warmer months, to get a more accurate census, and maximize tax collections, without having to hunt people down to collect what they owe.

Yes and Shepherds did not have their flocks out by night in the dead of winter, but rather September or October.

The beauty of this is that Jesus was conceived at the end of December. This is the time of the Feast of Dedication - Hanukkah, called the Festival of Lights. Jesus was then born around the end of September...beginning of October. This is the time of Feast of Tabernacles, which includes trumpets, day of atonement, and Sukkot...Tabernacles. So...God's timing is this...The light of the world came to Tabernacle with us...Hallelujah!!!

To further prove this point concerning Jesus' birth. He started His earthly ministry at the age of 30, as in Jewish culture you are not an adult until reaching the age of 30. Jesus' ministry lasted 3 1/2 years. Jesus died at Passover. If you count backwards 3 1/2 years from Passover you land on Feast of Tabernacles.

My friend was just telling me today that she heard that next year they are passing a law that we cannot decorate our yards for Christmas so I have decided that being we know that Yeshua was bore in September well my house will be amazingly decorated between the week of the 16 to and the 29 and I think we should all have wonderful parties to celebrate the real Yashuua. Amen we will Show them who the gets the real celebration for what he has done for all of us on the cross. Love you all let's let our lights shine more bright everyday. 🌞

No need to argue or speculate about the exact date. As long as we remember his birth whether in december or september. And accept Him as the son of god which is the sacrificial lamb for our salvation from sin. Halleujiah
