Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. -Romans 12:2 NIV 2011
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. -Eph. 6:12 NIV 2011

Jesus's Birthday

One thing I hear from Christians in and out of church, is that "the Bible doesn't tell us when Jesus was born." WRONG. It does, and I'm going to show you. But first, we must take a look at Zachariah, John the Baptist's father:

"And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years. And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course, According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord. And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense. And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John." -Luke 1:7-13

and

"And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house. And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying, Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men. And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary." -Luke 1:23-27

Look at verse 8 - it says Zachariah was executing the 'priest's office ... in the order of his course.' Which priestly course did Zachariah execute? Luke 1:5 tells us:

"There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth."

So, we see above that Zachariah's wife conceived after John completed his priestly course - the course of Abia. Six months after Elizabeth conceived John the Baptist, Mary conceived Jesus, from the Holy Spirit. This makes Jesus 6 months younger than John the Baptist:

"And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren." -Luke 1:35-36

So, if the Bible tells us when the course of Abia is, then we can figure out when John the Baptist was born, and then we just need to add six months to that, and we'd land on when Jesus was born. Does the Bible tell us when the course of Abia/Abijah was? YES:

"The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah" -1 Chronicles 24:10

If you read all of the above chapter, you see how the Levitical priests were divided into courses, of when who was to serve in the temple. In Luke 1, we learn that the priest Zachariah, John the Baptist's father, was serving the course of Abijah/Abia. There are twelve months in the Hebrew calendar. Below is their calendar, in comparison to the Gregorian calendar we are on:

Hebrew MonthGregorian
NissanMarch-April
IyarApril-May
SivanMay-June
TammuzJune-July
Menachem AvJuly-August
ElulAustust-September
TishreiSeptember-October
MarcheshvanOctober-November
KislevNovember-December
TevetDecember-January
ShevatJanuary-February
AdarFebruary-March

There are 12 months, and 24 courses. There are two courses per Hebrew month. The course that John the Baptist's father served was the eighth course - the course of Abijah. That would put him serving in the fourth Hebrew month. Therefore the priest Zachariah served in the Hebrew month Tammuz.

This puts Elizabeth being pregnant with John at six months along in the Hebrew month Tevet. Tevet would then be the month that Mary conceived Jesus Christ, of the Holy Spirit. Nine months after Tevet puts Jesus being born in the seventh Jewish month, which is Tishrei. Jesus was killed on Passover, to be our Passover Lamb, to pay for our sins. He was likely also therefore born during a Jewish feast day. The likely feast day He was born on, was the Sukkot - the feast of Tabernacles. Tabernacle is synonymous with temple, and Jesus is the temple of God:

"Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body." -John 2:19-21

Further, the Feast of Tabernacles was a feast that celebrated God's being present with His chosen people, and a time of remembrance when God was with Israel in the wilderness. It is about God tabernacling/dwelling with man.

Jesus, the temple, or tabernacle of God, was born in the month Tishrei, which would have been Late September, early October. If Jesus was born in the year 3BC, that would put His birthday on or very near September 29.

The star of Bethlehem appeared, likely due to a very close conjunction of the star Regulus and the planet Jupiter. To see this in Stellarium, you need to set its date to September 10, -2. -2 is the astronomical year for 3BC. Look in the constellation Leo. Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of Judah:

"And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof." -Revelation 5:5 

The Regulus star resides in the heart of the constellation Leo, and means "little king."  Add to this that Jupiter then went into conjuntion with the heart of Leo.  Jupiter is the "king planet."  Jesus is the King and kings, and Lord of lords:

"These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful."  -Revelation 17:14


Following along in Stellarium, and comparing that with the feasts at that time, and Leviticus 23, we get the following:

September 10, 3 B.C. (Tishrei 1, 3759) - The star of Bethlehem appears, and stays apparent until the 19th, in which Jupiter moves away from Regulus, leading the wise men towards Jerusalem. September 10, 3BC was the Feast of Trumpets - "Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation." -Leviticus 23:24 A trumpet is a sound to give an alert. The star of Bethlehem was an alert, so it was perfect that it shined the brightest on the Feast of Trumpets.

September 19, 3 B.C. (Tishrei 10, 3759) Jupiter starts to noticeably move away from Regulus, leading the Magi towards Jerusalem. This was on the Day of Attonement - "Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord." Levitucus 23:27 Time to atone for sins, for God is coming to the earth.

September 24-30, 3 B.C. (Tishrei 15-21, 3759) - The Feast of Tabernacles - "Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the Lord seven days ... Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths: That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God." -Levitcus 23:39a and 42-43. On September 29, 3BC, Venus exited Virgo the Virgin's womb. The planet Venus is known as 'the bright and morning star:'

"I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star." -Revelation 22:16

On or very near to September 29th, 3BC (astronomical year -2, Jewish date: Tishrei 20, 3759) Jesus Christ was born. Interestingly, the Jewish year 3759 can be 3+7+5+9, which is 24, and 2+4 is 6. And six is the number of man, with 7 being the number of God. God became man on or near Tishrei 20, 3759 (Tishrei is the 7th month, and the year reduces to 6). Jesus was likely born on September 29, 3BC.

Jesus was not born on or near December 25th, but Baal was. Christmas has nothing to do with Christ. The festivities of Christmas all come from ancient pagan rites, rituals, and celebrations of Baal. To learn more about this truth, click here.

Further, Jesus was not killed on a Friday, and rose three days after that Friday.  Else, He would have arisen on Monday or Tuesday.  The Bible says that Jesus rose on Sunday - the first day of the week, and it also says he died on Passover day. Therefore, He would have to had died on Wednesday evening, right before it changed to Thursday.

Since Jesus was born in the year 3BC, He would have died in the year 30AD, since the Bible says He died at age 33. In the year 30AD, Passover was Wednesday.  Therefore, we see further proof that Jesus was born in 3BC. Jesus died on Passover, so He died on Wednesday, not a Friday. In the Jewish system, the days are not midnight to midnight, but evening to evening, so Thursday starts on our Wednesday evening.  They couldn't do a full, proper burial, because Jesus was put to death as Passover was drawing to a close. The Jews had to prepare for the high Sabbath - a holiday Sabbath, not the weekly one. This high Sabbath was the day of rest and the first day of the Days of Unleavened Bread. They had a high Sabbath on the first day of these seven days, and another on the last day of the seven days.

Since Thursday, 30AD was the first high, holy day Sabbath of the Days of Unleavened Bread, Jesus' body would have to wait to be properly anointed until after the high holiday Sabbath of Thursday, but also after the following Friday, because that was the Day of Preparation for the weekly Sabbath, in which the Jews needed to clean up from the Thursday Holy Day Sabbath, and cook all the foods and do all the preparations for the Saturday weekly Sabbath.  That left Sunday being the first day they were able to go to the tomb to finish anointing Jesus' body.  Jesus arose early Sunday, which was three days after He died.

As you see, Jesus was born on or near September 29, 3BC, which corresponds with his death and resurrection being in 30AD.



Build Your Foundation on the Rock of Salvation

"It’s like a person building a house by digging deep and laying the foundation on bedrock. When the flood came, the rising water smashed against that house, but the water couldn’t shake the house because it was well built. 49 But those who don’t put into practice what they hear are like a person who built a house without a foundation. The floodwater smashed against it and it collapsed instantly. It was completely destroyed." -Luke 6:48-49 CEB

"The Lord lives! Bless God, my rock! Let my God, the rock of my salvation, be lifted high!" -2 Samuel 22:47 CEB

"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." -John 8:32 CEB

"Jesus answered, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." -John 14:6 CEB

The terms "Christian" and "personal relationship with Jesus Christ" have been thrown around so much, that for many people, they have lost their original savor. What is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? Is it going to church? Is it being a "good person?" Is it via doing certain rituals, or following certain traditions? No, it is so much simpler than that.

Jesus says:

"Look! I’m standing at the door and knocking. If any hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to be with them, and will have dinner with them, and they will have dinner with me." -Revelation 3:20 CEB

Let Jesus into your heart and life. Put your faith and trust in Him, and in Him alone.

Why did Jesus Christ come to this earth? He came to pay for our sins. Have you ever broken any of the Ten Commandments? Did you know that Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount that just looking at someone with lust in your heart is the same thing as committing adultery in your heart?

Many people will say I'm a good person. Sure, I've stolen a few paper clips in my time, and I've told some lies, but I've never killed anyone, so I'm good enough for heaven. Don't be so sure. Have you ever felt hatred toward someone? If so, then you are guilty of committing murder in your heart:

"Everyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that murderers don’t have eternal life residing in them." -1 John 3:15 CEB

If you have stolen, lied, lusted after someone, hated someone, loved someone or something more than God, etc., then you have broken at least 5 of the Ten Commandments. Do you really think you'd make it to heaven? Not according to God's Word:

"Don’t you know that people who are unjust won’t inherit God’s kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Those who are sexually immoral, those who worship false gods, adulterers, both participants in same-sex intercourse, thieves, the greedy, drunks, abusive people, and swindlers won’t inherit God’s kingdom." -1 Corinthians 6:9-10 CEB

But there is good news:

"That is what some of you used to be! But you were washed clean, you were made holy to God, and you were made right with God in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God." -1 Corinthians 6:11 CEB

We are all sinners:

"All have sinned and fall short of God’s glory" -Romans 3:23 CEB

Even Mary, the woman chosen by God to be a vessel that would carry Jesus in her womb, was a sinner, and in need of a Savior:

"In the depths of who I am I rejoice in God my savior." - Mary said this in Luke 1:47 (CEB). Only sinners need a Savior, and Mary also accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior.

We are all imperfect, fallible sinners:

"This is the message that we have heard from him and announce to you: “God is light and there is no darkness in him at all.” If we claim, “We have fellowship with him,” and live in the darkness, we are lying and do not act truthfully. But if we live in the light in the same way as he is in the light, we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from every sin. If we claim, “We don’t have any sin,” we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us." -1 John 1:5-8 CEB

The blood of Jesus Christ is what cleanses us from all sins. Jesus came to this earth to die to pay for our sins. You see, Leviticus tells us that 'the life is in the blood,' and that it takes spilt blood to atone for sin.

When we choose to truly believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, and to live our lives for Christ, then Christ's spilt blood cleanses us from our sins:

"Come now, and let’s settle this, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be white as snow. If they are red as crimson, they will become like wool." -Isaiah 1:18 CEB

Jesus tells us this:

"God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him won’t perish but will have eternal life. God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him isn’t judged; whoever doesn’t believe in him is already judged, because they don’t believe in the name of God’s only Son." - Jesus said this, in John 3:16-18 (CEB)

Paul gives us a simple "step by step process" on how to be saved:

"Because if you confess with your mouth “Jesus is Lord” and in your heart you have faith that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Trusting with the heart leads to righteousness, and confessing with the mouth leads to salvation. The scripture says, All who have faith in him won’t be put to shame." -Romans 10:9-11 CEB

Jesus is our one and only mediator:

"There is one God and one mediator between God and humanity, the human Christ Jesus" -1 Timothy 2:5 CEB

Jesus is our High Priest:

"Also, let’s hold on to the confession since we have a great high priest who passed through the heavens, who is Jesus, God’s Son; because we don’t have a high priest who can’t sympathize with our weaknesses but instead one who was tempted in every way that we are, except without sin." -Hebrews 4:14-15 CEB

We are to follow the Lord and the Bible, not traditions of people:

"Jesus replied, “Why do you break the command of God by keeping the rules handed down to you?" -Matthew 15:3 CEB

Jesus is God:

"Without question, the mystery of godliness is great: he was revealed as a human, declared righteous by the Spirit, seen by angels, preached throughout the nations, believed in around the world, and taken up in glory." -1 Timothy 3:16 CEB

If Jesus isn't the Lord of your life, then I hope that you will let Him into your heart and life this very moment.

"But God shows his love for us, because while we were still sinners Christ died for us." -Romans 5:8 CEB

Have you built your foundation on the Rock of Salvation?

Jesus is the way. If you would like to receive Jesus into your heart and life, then let Him know. Pray to the Lord, telling Him that you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and that you believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay the death penalty for your sins. Tell this to God in your own words, from your heart.

"The wages that sin pays are death, but God’s gift is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." -Romans 6:23 CEB

Believe, and Receive:

"You too heard the word of truth in Christ, which is the good news of your salvation. You were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit because you believed in Christ." -Ephesians 1:13 CEB

When you believe on Jesus Christ, you receive the Holy Spirit. You are sealed as a child of God.

If you have accepted Jesus Christ into your heart and life as your Lord and Savior, and you believe that Jesus died on the cross in your place, to pay the death penalty for your sins, and that Christ rose from the dead three days later, and you are ready to let Him lead your life, and you will live for Him, then you are saved, and born again.

You are now a saved Child of God, with the Holy Spirit living within you. Dedicate your life to the Lord, and live for Him. Please get a Bible (I suggest the Common English Bible - CEB) and turn to the Gospel of John. That is the fourth book in the New Testament. If you don't have a Bible, then you can read it for free, online - here.

After you've read the Gospel of John, go on to read Acts, and then Romans. These three books will bring you through the Gospel, the early church, and basic Christian doctrine. After you've read these three, then turn to the beginning of the New Testament, and read it all the way through. After that, read both the Old and New Testaments.

You should also follow the Lord and get baptized in water. A Believer's Baptism doesn't save you. Only faith in Christ saves you. A Believer's Baptism is an outward showing of your salvation. It symbolizes you being born again. When you are lowered under the water, it shows you dying to your old self, and when you are raised up out of the water, it symbolizes you being born again, as a new creature in Christ. This is called a Believer's Baptism, because, according to the Bible, a person is supposed to get baptized after they have believed on Christ. Anyone who was "baptized" before having faith in Christ just got wet - nothing more. You don't need to find a church to get baptized in. Any born again Christian can baptize you in any acceptable body of water - even a public swimming pool.

Find a good, local church congregation to attend. Search in your area for a Nazarene church, Foursquare church, or non-denominational Full-Gospel church.

Immerse yourself in the Bible. The Bible is God's love letter to you. It is also your Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.
