It has been 27 weeks from the discourse of Abiyah, the conception of John, to Chanukah, the conception of Yeshua. That leaves 14 weeks to Johns birth, which was at Pasach, Passover, the 14th of Nisan, first month of the Hebrew religous year. That leaves six more months to Yeshua's birth which would have occured during the seventh month, the month of Tishri. If John was born on 14th of Nisan, then Yeshua would have been born the 15th of Tishri, which would have been the first day of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles).
It's interesting to note that all of Israel are to build temporary dwellings called a sukkah and dwell in them [Leviticus 23:34-43]. These sukkahs were erected to house families with some bare comforts and food for the eight days. Food was placed in a stall or a crib for storage in this sukkah or tabernacle. Does that not sound like the nativity story found in the B'rit Hadashah. Yeshua was not born in a manger, but rather in a temporary tabernacle which had been built for the celebration. He was placed in a food stall or crib. This is most fitting, because this models what Yeshua is to all of us. He is the Bread of Life from heaven.
In conclusion, the date of Yeshuas birth was the 15th of Tishri, 6-7 BC, not the 25th of December. Why not celebrate the true birthdate of Y'shua this year on September 23-29, 2010? Please prayerfully consider this information and let the Holy Spirit guide you into the truth. There is a reason why G-d commands us to continually celebrate his feasts. This is because, just as the stars in the heavens revealed the glory of God, so does the feast revealed the salvation plan of G-d and points to the Messiah of all mankind, our Lord and Savior, Yeshua.

Happy Birthday Y'shua. Part Five
During the sixth month of Elisheva' s, Elizabeth, pregnancy Gavri-El, Gabriel, came to Mariam, Mary. Gavri-El told Mariam that Elizabeth was six months pregnant. This was six months after the priestly course of Abia which puts us at the end of the month Kislev. This would have been the time of Chanukah, the Festival of Lights, the rededication of the Temple.
Mariam is also told that she would be a vessel for the Messiah. This is confirmed when Mariam goes to Natseret, Nazareth, to the home of Elisheva and Zachar'yah a few days after Gavri-El announcement. I find it exciting that it's a three day trip to Elisheva. Can we say, "on the third day"?
Upon her arrival, John leaps for joy within Elisheva's, Elizabeth, womb. Elizabeth also, upon hearing Mariams voice, is filled with G-ds Holy Spirit. She says, "Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb."
Therefore, on the third day, following Gabriels announcement to Mariam, Yeshua was in her womb. Yeshua was conceived at Chanukah, the Festival of Lights. It's only appropriate since He is the Light of the World, and he is responsible for the rededication of the present day temple of G-d, that is you and me.
You can read this account in Luke 1:26-55.

Happy Birthday Y'shua. Part Four
To establish the birth month of Yeshua, we have to first look at the birth of Yochanan, John, the baptist which begins with his conception.
In Luke 1:5-25, the angel, Gavri-El Gabriel, appeared to Zachar'yah, Zacharias as he was performing his duties in the Temple. This was during the priestly course of Abiyah,Abia. This course of priests ministered in the Temple the eighth week of the Hebrew year as dictated by King David in 1 Chronicles 24:10. This is also backed up and documented in both the Talmud and the Mishnah.
The eighth week runs its course during the last week of the second Hebrew month of Iyar and the first week of the third Hebrew month of Sivan, ending at Shavuot, Pentecost. This is our starting point to establish the month of our Messiahs birth.
The angel indicated that Zachar'yahs prayer had been answered, not going to be answered. This puts the conception of Yochanan, John the Baptist, very near the time of Shavuot, the Feast of Pentecost, in the second week of the month of Sivan, the third Hebrew month. Pentecost or Shavuot is approximately May-June time period.
We'll finish this up over the next few days with Yochanans and Yeshuas birth.

Happy Birthday Yeshua. Part Three
So far we have established that the Jews were indeed looking for the Messiah around time of 6-7 AD. To nail down the exact year of Yeshuas birth, we have to study the Jewish rite of passage into adulthood, the Bar Mitsvah.
Every child, in order to enter into adulthood must go through the rite of Bar Mitsvah (Males) or Bat Mitsvah (Females). According to Jewish law, when Jewish children reach the age of majority,thirteen years for boys and twelve for girls, they become responsible for their actions, and become a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, a son or daughter of the commandments or law. Prior to this, the child's parents hold the responsibility for the child's adherence to Jewish law and tradition. After this age, children bear their own responsibility for Jewish ritual law, tradition, and ethics and are privileged to participate in all areas of Jewish community life.
In Matthew 5:17, Yeshua stated that he did not come to destroy but to fulfill the law.
"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil."
With that said, Yeshua would have became a Bar Mitsvah in 6-7 AD thereby qualifying himself as the Meshiach or Shiloh. This was publically declared by the holy men of Israel when they went through the streets of Jerusalem tearing their clothes and declaring that the sceptor had been taken from them and Shiloh had not come. Indeed the Meshiach had come and was fulfilling the law by becoming a Bar Mitzvah at the same time. At this time, Yeshua would have been thirteen years old. Counting back thirteen years, we come to 6-7 BC, which would have been the year of his birth.
Next time, we begin to establish the actual month of his birth.

Thank You For Your Prayers
I apologize for not posting for the last few weeks. My wife has been in the hospital with double fungal pneumonia. Sounds gross. However, my wife is home but still on oxygen. I praise G-d for her improvement and all your prayers. G-d Bless you all in the name of the most high. I ask for your continued prayer.
Shalom,

Happy Birthday Y'shua. Part Two
Continuing with our discussion about the birth date of Yeshua ha Mashiach, Jesus Christ, here are some more facts. Trust me they may not appear important, but I promise I'll put it all together during the last post on this subject.
About 6-7 AD, the Holy Men of Jerusalem tore their clothes, putting on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city and wailed loudly and bitterly,
"Woe unto us for the scepter has departed from Judah and the Messiah has not come!"
Babylonian Talmud, Chapter 4, folio 37
In Bereshit (Genesis)49:10, Israel prophesies over his son Judah saying,
"The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
Here the Word of G-d states that the scepter of Judah or the ability to administer and enforce the law would not be taken away from them until Shiloh, the Messiah, had come.
Because Rome had taken away the right of Israel to enforce the death penalty, the priests believed that the Word of G-d had failed them. The Scepter of Judah had indeed been taken away from them. However, were they correct in believing that the Messiah had not come?
Shalom

Happy Birthday Y'shua. Part One
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the Throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever."
Isaiah 9:6-7
"But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting."
Micah 5:2
Two important verses to remember in order to secure your position as to the actual date that Yeshua was born. Please notice that I emphasized the important facts within these verses.
Over the next few days, we will state only the facts concerning this controversial subject. Remember, it is only by G-ds Holy Spirit and your relationship with him that you arrive at the truth. This is written in Acts 17:11.
"... in that they recieve the message with all eagerness of heart, but searched the scriptures to whether those things were so."
Therefore, be in prayer and supplication about it. I believe this an important step in tearing down the walls of traditional thought and paganistic christian teachings and getting back to basic biblical truth taught by G-d and his Holy Spirit.
Shabbat Shalom in the Messiah, Yeshua
