Bible Question: What is the date of Jesus birth? |
Bible Answer: My understanding is that the Hebrews considered that being "born", happened at conception. If this event (conception)occured on or about December 25th it would put the date of what we call "birth" ( 9 months later ) in late September, I back this up with a scripture from Luke 2:8, about some of the shepherds being out in the field,(probably close to time of bringing the flocks in for shelter),which would not have been out in the winter season. I believe the feast(of trumpets), took place around the September date, He was brought forth at the sounding of the Trumpet, ,it makes sense to me. |
