Birth date of Yahusha
WHEN WAS YAHUSHA BORN?
Tradition informs us Yahusha
(JESUS)
was born Dec 25th
(Christmas),
and shepherds and Magi came that night to worship the Child.
The Truth is far different in practically every detail.
To the Romans, December 25 was Saturnalia, celebrated as the re-birth of the
sun. It was adopted in order to transform the Pagan festival into a “Christian”
festival. The same procedure was used to transform many other Pagan observances,
such as adopting the "Venerable Day of the Sun" in order to do away with the 7th
day Shabath, the sign of the Eternal Covenant. The origins became occulted
(hidden),
while all the visual symbols and behavior remained perfectly intact. Nimrod is
the first man to be worshipped, and after his death he was worshipped as the
first Sun deity. His Name is babbled among the nations.

A partial list of Pagan deities born on December 25th include: Mithras,
Horus, Attis, Dionysus the son of Zeus, Tammuz, Hercules, Perseus, Helios,
Bacchus, Apollo, Jupiter, Sol Invictus -
(The Unconquered Sun).
The Scriptural pattern and calendar was swept away, and the format of Paganism
was adopted, causing great confusion.
Danial
12:4 tells us in the end times knowledge (of Truth) will increase.
We now understand
the neglected Scriptural festivals are
REDEMPTION PLAN - THE SHADOW OF THINGS TO COME
Conception of Yahukanon
(John the Immerser, son of ZekarYah & Alisheba)
According to 1st
Kronicles, the Luitical priesthood was divided into 12 orders. The 1st
century Yahudi Historian Josephus (Yusef Ben MattithYahu, Antiquities 7) states
that each order served for a span of one week at a time. The first order began
its period of service on the first day of the year, Abib 1. Yahuah established
the beginning of moons at Exodus/Shemoth 12:2. Three weeks out of each year, the
weeks of
Pesach
(Passover),
Shabuoth
(Pentecost), and
Sukkoth
(Tabernacles), all priests served together.
Yahukanon’s father
ZekarYah
was of the order of
AbiYah
(meaning “my Father is Yah” - Luke 1:5). His service began in early Spring on
the first day of the eighth week and ran for one week. The following week
was Shabuoth, the Feast of Pentecost, he stayed in the temple and served that
week with all the priests. Luke 1:23-24 states ZekarYah finished his
duties at the Hekal, and Alisheba conceived shortly after his return home.
Conception of Yahusha
Yahusha was
conceived 6 months after
Yahukanon (John).
In the sixth month
of Alisheba’s pregnancy the messenger Gabrial appeared to Miriam and
informed her of Alisheba’s pregnancy saying,
“this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.”
Miriam conceived of the Ruach ha’Qodesh at this visitation of the messenger,
Gabrial.
Miriam immediately left Natsarith (verse 39) and went to the hill country near
Yerushalayim to the home of ZekarYah and Alisheba. Miriam had just become
pregnant with Yahusha: Yahukanon, still in Alisheba’s womb, recognized
the unborn Yahusha and kicked with great joy at His Presence.
This sets the
conception of Yahusha during Kanukah (around December). Yahukanon’s
besorah shows us Yahusha observed Kanukah (Yn 10:22, 23). The time of the
festival Kanukah (dedication of the Temple) was also the time the
Light of the world entered the womb of Miriam.
Birth of Yahukanon
(John): A prophet in the power of AliYahu,
the prophet of the Name. The prophet
Malaki (Malachi) tells us that AliYahu
(Elijah) the prophet must come to
prepare the hearts of the fathers and their children
before Mashiak comes.
Malaki 4:
“Remember the Torah of Mosheh
(Moses)
my servant, which I commanded to him in Horeb for all Yisharal, even statutes
and ordinances. Behold, I will send you AliYahu the prophet before the great and
terrible Day of the YAHUAH comes. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the
children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and
strike the arets with a curse.”
Whenever Pesach
(Passover) is celebrated, a place at the table is set for
AliYahu (Elijah). Yahukanon the Immerser came in the power of
AliYahu, who prepared the way for the first coming of Yahusha. Many anticipate
another fulfillment prior to the Day of Yahuah, and a prophet of the Name will
again
prepare the way
for Yahusha’s second coming.
The wording of
Gabrial in his announcement to ZekarYah makes it clear that Yahukanon was to be
the fulfillment of Malaki’s prophecy:
“He will turn many of the children of Yisharal to Yahuah, their Alahim. He will go before his face in the spirit and power of AliYahu, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for Yahuah.”
Luke 1:16, 17
Luke 1:56 tells us
that Miriam stayed with Alisheba for three months, which would have been up
until the time Yahukanon was born. We can calculate the date of Yahukanon’s
birth with a great accuracy.
Yahukanon was born
at Passover, on the first day of Unleavened Bread. He was circumcised on the
eighth day, which would be the last day of Passover/Feast of Unleavened Bread.
His birth exactly fulfills both Malaki’s prophecy and the expectation of that
fulfillment to occur at Passover.
Pesach
(Passover, First-fruits & feast of unleavened bread),
Shabuoth
(Pentecost,50 days after First-fruits), and
Sukkoth
(the feast of ingathering, booths, or tabernacles).
“You shall observe a feast to me three times a year.”
Exodus/Shemoth 23:14
During these three
festivals, the population of Yerushalayim and surrounding towns swelled from
around a hundred twenty-thousand to over two million people (according to Yusef
Ben MattithYahu, or Josephus). Homes in the area accepted guests, and there were
commercial accommodations as well.
During the feast of
Sukkoth, every family stayed at least part of each day in their tabernacle or
booth, called a sukkah, a temporary dwelling usually made with willows, palm or
bamboo branches, to remind them of the 40 years their ancestors had lived in
temporary shelters in the wilderness on their trek to the land of milk and
honey.
Bethlekem
(Bethlehem) is a small village about 4 miles southeast of Yerushalayim.
Yahusha’s birth was not during the winter.
Luke 2:8:
“There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping
watch by night over their flock."
Yahusha was exactly
six months younger that Yahukanon. The first and last days of Sukkoth are
“moedim” (appointed-times) special days to rest and celebrate. Yusef and Miriam
arrived in the town of his birth before sunset, just as the first day of
Sukkoth, and there was no room anywhere to be found. A kind innkeeper gave them
a temporary dwelling in a place usually used to house animals.
Yahusha
was the bread of life, and laid in a feeding trough, often called a “crib” even
today. According to Luke’s account, Yahusha was born that night, which would
have been the 15th of the 7th moon.
The Circumcision Of Yahusha
The birth of a baby
boy was not complete until he had been circumcised on the eighth day. On the
eighth day according to Torah, Yahusha’s presentation in the Hekal (Temple)
included His circumcision. Yahusha’s time of birth spanned the entire eight days
of Sukkoth. The first day of Sukkoth He came forth. The eighth day He was
circumcised, according to the Torah.
The prophecies
concerning Sukkoth centuries before His birth gives extra significance to
Yahukanon’s comment “The Word became flesh, and lived [literally, tabernacled]
among us. We saw his esteem, such esteem as of the one and only Son of the
Father, full of kindness and truth” (John 1:14).
Yahuah ordained two
qodesh feasts that last eight days.
Passover/Unleavened
Bread and the Feast of Tabernacles. Yahukanon the Immerser, the forerunner of
Mashiak, was born and circumcised in the eight days of the first, and six month
later Yahusha, the Mashiak, was born and circumcised the eight days of the
second. Yahukanon was born in the first month of the year and Yahusha came in
the seventh month. In his ministry, John introduced the Mashiak, and Yahusha
completed the message of deliverance.
The Feast of
Tabernacles / Tents (Sukkoth) is to be observed by all nations. Zechariah 14:16, 17
At the return of Yahusha, the wedding supper of the Lamb will be during Sukkoth.
His bride, Yisharal, will enter into the permanent dwelling place, and are known
as the First-fruits. This is the higher-calling, the 144,000 who guard the
Commandments of Yahuah, and hold to the testimony of Yahusha.
