kyd37 Since the exact date is not stated in the Bible everthing is conjecture. However secular history and to fulfill prophecy in Daniel suggests a Sept birth. His conception could very well have been in the later part of Dec. EdB |

Hi EdB... I have always been told that it was possibly September too. But I have never been inquisitive enough to research it. (lazy? **grin**) Can you possibly direct me to a resource where I can get more information. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, -Kathy |

kathy The answer is very complex do a search on 'Google.com' for "September birth of Christ" You will find a lot of information there. Basically they all point back to such things as the need to fulfill various feasts, Rosh Hashanah and the Feast of Tabernacles both of which fall in Sept time frame. Secular history on the time of ordered census. Astronomical records pointing to known phenomena in the stars that might have lead the Magi. The need to have Jesus’ at entrance of Jerusalem for what we call Palm Sunday as prophesied by Daniel Remember however these are only opinions and guessimates Scripture does not give an exact date.

EdB I am so glad that you brought up Rosh Hashanah and it's place in the scheme of these things, I did pose a question to Makarios, regarding this and if you find no offense in my asking, I would like any further light you may share on this very Feast and it's regard to Christ. Peace to you, -khuck |

Khuck Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year and many try to tie it back to creation, but I find that hard to do. We aren’t certain the year much less the time of year. Jesus fulfills the Old Testament and through His life we saw him fulfill the spring or planting feasts. Selection of the Lamb - Palm Sunday as he rode into Jerusalem on the exact date as told by Daniel. Passover the His death upon the cross, Feast of first Fruits His resurrection, Pentecost then infilling of the Holy Spirit as seen in Acts 2. The Fall or harvest feast yet remain. Many feel the Rosh Hashanah or Feast of Trumpets will actually be fulfilled when we hear the trumpet sound as described in 1 Thess 4:16. That Yon Kippur or Day of Atonement will be fulfilled with the white throne judgement. That leaves the feast of tabernacle. Some feel Jesus will fulfill that when we begin the millennium others feel it was fulfilled by His birth. Many feel because Rosh Hashanah represents the Jewish New year that Jesus fulfilled that by His birth beginning a new era. However Rosh Hashanah is the civil New Year, the spiritual new year is Nissan in the Spring. Here again many believe Jesus was born in the spring and thus fulfilled the spiritual New Year with His birth. I can buy that but I think there is a better dating. I view Rosh Hashanah more as the feast of Trumpet or call to reflection a time where Israel is to begin preparing itself for the Day of Atonement. In that light I can also view Jesus’ birth a very appropriate fulfillment of the feast. But once more the trumpet summons of 1 Thess 4 also fulfills it. And I think far better. Since Rosh Hashanah is a fall or harvest feast I would be very surprise if Jesus did already fulfill it, I see the field white for harvest.. That brings us to the feast of Tabernacles, it was never declared or considered a harvest feast other than the fact it occurs in the fall. However if we look at what it represents, the time in the wilderness or the Children of Israel’s freedom from slavery or the beginning of their deliverance, a time where God dwelt with them first on Mt Sinai and then later in the Tabernacle. This dwelling seems to speak to me of Jesus coming (birth) to dwell with us. I think Jesus’ fulfilled that with His birth but again the time of Jesus birth is at best conjecture since scripture does not give a definitive date. Whew that is a very short, very condensed view of the Jesus fulfillment of the feast and a reason for His possible birth in the fall. EdB |

Well Ed, Between you and Makarios, I believe I have a greater understanding that I could have hoped regarding this Holy Day and the Christmas question also. I only sincerely hope that the original poster got the information that they sought. I am almost sure they must have. I will definately use the resources that you both have so generously shared and get a better foundation for my own understanding. Man if you two were serving a meal... I would be ready to burst (grin) God Bless and keep you... ready to assist:) -Kathy |
