TRULY JESUS WAS BORN MONTH OF DECEMBER : Biblical with Evidence : Another Controversial Topic 14

TRULY JESUS WAS BORN MONTH OF DECEMBER : 

AND THE TRUE MESSAGE OF CHRISTMAS :


Many disagree that it is in the Month of December Jesus was born, if you will listen to them it seems like there is a basis, they base their reason on history regarding nature and climate status, they say that it is impossible that Jesus would be born on December because winter is not in the month of December, this is there stand, but this is just their own speculation and perception.
But what the Bible stands regarding what month really is the Birth of Jesus :

LET US LEARN AND ANALYZE TO WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE ABOUT JESUS EXACT BIRTH:

Luke 2: 24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying, 25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men. 26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. 30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God. 31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
IT IS ALSO THE MONTH WHEN MARY CONCEIVED JESUS :
LUKE 1: 34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35 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. 36 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.
SIX ( 6 ) MONTHS PREGNANCY OF ELIZABETH WHEN MARY ALSO CONCEIVED JESUS:
THE BIRTH OF JOHN WHEN MARY ABODE WITH HER 3 MONTHS :
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house 57 Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son John The Baptist ).
6 MONTHS + 3 MONTHS TIME OF DELIVERATION OF JOHN THE BAPTIST = 9 MONTHS AS NORMAL PREGNANCY AND LABOR OF A WOMAN :


NOW LET US GO TO THE MONTH THAT MARY CONCEIVING JESUS:

AS IT IS WRITTEN :
23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house. 24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying, 25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men. 26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
The question here, Where did Elisabeth hid herself or her pregnancy for five (5) months and why Zacharias stayed so long in the temple ?


Luke 1: 21 New International Version (NIV)


21 Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the temple.

And in the sixth (6th) month the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary.

IN VERSE 26,31,35-36  THE ANGEL GABRIEL APPEARED TO MARY.

MONTH THAT MARY STARTS CONCEIVING JESUS THE MESSIAH, BUT SIXTH (6) MONTHS ALREADY ELISABETH CONCEIVING JOHN :

31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
35 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.
36 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.


PROOF AND FACT :   The Feast of Tabernacle :

Feast of Tabernacle according to the Scripture must held 3 times a year as commanded by Moses :

2 Chronicles 8:13 King James Version (KJV)

13 Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in  the feast of tabernacles.
As proof, they (Israelite) did that before in the 14th to 16th of the month of Tishri, Marks the end of the harvest of grain, olives and fruits :
ADDITONAL PROOF EVEN ON OUR PRESENT TIME 2020 AND A DECADE FROM THEN IT IS IN THE MONTH SEPTEMBER "YOM KIPPUR" ALSO KNOWN AS "DAY OF ATONEMENT" JEWISH STILL FOLLOWING THIS COMMANDMENT :
EVEN IN ADVANCE 2020-2025 AS " DAY OF ATONEMENT" PROOF :



ANOTHER PROOF :


Base on Jewish Calendar month of Tishri is in the Month of September where Abias in the Day of Atonement was serving, also when Zacharias is indeed on Ministering Service from the Day of Atonement also as "The Feast of Tabernacle " ( from the month of September ) plus Zacharias long stayed in the temple also as Elizabeth hid herself five (5) months, and in 6 months next year month of March Mary conceived Jesus :

Luke 1:21-26 King James Version (KJV)

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.
21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
22 And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.
23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
IT IS WRITTEN AFTER THOSE FROM SEPTEMBER WITH THE TOTALITY OF SIXTH  ( 6 ) MONTHS ;
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
From that month of " Tishri or September " let us start counting from that month Elisabeth starts conceiving John the Baptist on how many total months it is up to next year Month of March ? :

September - October ( 1 month )
October to November ( 2 months )
November to December ( 3 months )
December to January ( 4 months )
January to February ( 5 months )
February to March 6 months ), having a totality of 6 Months 

AS IT IS WRITTEN :


Luke 1:36 King James Version (KJV)

36 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.
That month also Mary starts conceiving Jesus the Christ - The Messiah :


John 4:25 King James Version (KJV)

25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
LET US NOW AGAIN COUNT 9 MONTHS FROM MONTH OF MARCH WHEN MARY STARTS CONCEIVING JESUS UP TO 9 MONTHS AS A NORMAL PREGNANCY AND LABOR OF WOMAN :


March – April ( 1 month ), April – May ( 2 months ), May – June ( 3 months ), June – July ( 4 months ) , July – August ( 5 month ), August – September ( 6 months ), September to October ( 7 months ), October – November ( 8 months ), November – December ( = 9 months, month and day of labor )

HERE IS ANOTHER PROOF BIOLOGICALLY THAT THE LAMBING SEASON INDEED MONTH OF DECEMBER, AS JESUS THE LAMB OF GOD BORN IN DECEMBER, WHEN THE SHEPHERDS KEEPING WATCH OVER THEIR FLOCKS AT NIGHT :

Luke 2:7-8 King James Version (KJV)

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

SHEPHERDS KEEP WATCHING SHEEP BY NIGHT ON LAMBING SEASONS :
It is in December-January. People who live in Israel know when their lambing season is. This is just simple fact.

Geographical Myopia and “The Bleak Mid-Winter”

If we can’t set aside our British / American mindset, we’ll make silly mistakes.  “Myopia” is nearsightedness, and geographical myopia is seeing everything in terms of where we live.
Lambing Season?
This is an American / British oriented argument, similar to the English-only “Christ-Mass” argument.  Lambing season varies around the world — in New Zealand, it starts in August! It isn’t March or April everywhere — particularly in Israel.
Google “lambing season in Israel” and LOTS of people tell us when it is and what we should believe / do as a result.  But an expert with no religious agenda, the Professor Emeritus of Animal Breeding at the Hebrew Uni­versity of Jerusalem, Israel, might know something. 🙂  Writing on the Awassi sheep ( the main breed in Israel ), Dr Epstein said:
In Iraq, the principal lamb­ing season of Awassi ewes is in No­vember, and in Lebanon, the Syrian Arab Republic and Israel in Decem­ber - January.
YOU CAN RESEARCH THIS FACT AT GOOGLE SEARCH AND YOU CAN FIND THAT TRUTH TO THIS LINK : https://mindrenewers.com/2012/12/15/silly-reasons-to-abandon-christmas-4-its-the-wrong-date/ https://aleteia.org/2017/12/10/biological-evidence-that-jesus-actually-was-born-in-december/

So, when yet another person asked “ Why do we celebrate Christmas in December if lambs are born in the spring ? ” Instead of explaining the significance of March 25, I suddenly wondered: ARE lambs actually born in the spring in Israel ? Can I find out ?
The Awassi sheep is a desert sheep, a fat-tailed breed that has existed in the Middle East for an estimated 5,000 years. It is the only indigenous breed of sheep in Israel. They are raised for wool, meat, and milk. Awassi sheep breed in the summer and drop lambs in the winter, when there is sufficient pasture for the ewes in milk. In Israel, the principal lambing season is December through January.




This one little tidbit of information, crystallized all the others. Of course Jesus, the Lamb of God, was born at the same time and in the same place as all of the Passover lambs ( not a co-incidence but appointed time ). Of course this time was such that the day of His entry to and exit from the world are the same. Of course the nativity of John the Baptist is when it is because Jesus’s birth really is when it is. 

ANOTHER FACT :  Comparing the month of March to December : 

Let us differentiate :

MARCH : Which some concluded that it is March when Jesus was born and not in December, March Average Temperature is between  6 C (43 F) and 15 C (59 F) ".

DECEMBER :  Average Temperature is  5 degrees C (41 F ) " freezing point for water 
5 Degree Celsius = 41 Degree Fahrenheit

Here truly shows the Temperature 5 degrees C (41 F ) " why shepherds can still keep watching sheep in the field at night in the month of December ( lambing season ).


To say that it is impossible that Jesus could be born in the month of December because it is too cold to bring the sheep in the fields at night is truly wrong, because it is  5 degrees C (41 F ) " freezing point for water 5 Degree Celsius = 41 Degree Fahrenheit
 It is more geographic myopia :
The average low in December is " 5 degrees C (41 F) ", the average high 12 C (53-54 F).  In March, the averages are " 6 C (43 F) " and the average high 15 C (59 F), only little difference, 
In the morning, the forecast shows no temperature below " 5 C / 41 F " in the next ten nights. 
TIME TO MOVE FOR IT IS NOT TOO COLD TO TRAVEL   

THIS IS HOW FAR JOSEPH AND MARY TRAVEL FROM NAZARETH TO BETHLEHEM :
Link : https://www.reference.com/geography/distance-between-nazareth-bethlehem-6ac7e95c8360c7c7


The direct distance, as the crow flies, from Nazareth to Bethlehem is about 70 miles. Mary and Joseph probably walked more than 90 miles before they reached their resting place at the stable.
Mary and Joseph were compelled to make the long journey to Bethlehem after a census was proclaimed by Caesar Augustus, the Roman emperor. Joseph hailed from Bethlehem in Judea, and the decree required citizens to register at their birthplaces.
The shortest route to Bethlehem was directly south through Samaria, but its hilly terrain would have proven particularly arduous for Mary, who was in the late stages of pregnancy. Other factors in avoiding that route were the hostile Samaritans in the region, who could have posed a threat to the two travelers, and the knowledge that it would be difficult for them to find lodgings.
It's believed that Mary and Joseph chose a safer and more comfortable route that took them southeast through the Jezreel Valley and further east to the Jordan Valley. Continuing south to Jericho, they probably proceeded up through the Judean Desert to Jerusalem and onward to Bethlehem. By the end of their difficult trek, the couple would have walked more than 90 miles; much of that distance across difficult terrain.
Opinions differ on how many days it took Mary and Joseph to complete their epic journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem. Some scholars believe the trek lasted from 4 to 7 days, while the Institute for Priestly Formation cites the journey as lasting a week and a half.

Luke 2:3-8 King James Version (KJV)

And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the fieldkeeping watch over their flock by night.
It isn’t too cold that moment if we will considered the temperature of 5 degrees C (41 F ) ", in fact, Joseph and Mary traveled to pay tax as a decree from Caesar Augustus ( Luke 2: 1 ) that all the world should be taxed and also it is not to cold to bring the sheep in the fields outside Bethlehem why shepherds keep watching them that month of December as Israel's sheep lambing season, it is just starting of Winter Season and the Coldest is in January 30 :

THIS GRAPHIC PICTURE WILL SHOW TEMPERATURE STATUS OF BETHLEHEM'S WINTER SEASON, THE "RED LINE" AND "BLUE LINE" SHOWS IF IT IS NOT YET ON DECEMBER OR ALREADY TOO COLD TO TRAVEL IN  JANUARY 30 AS THE COLDEST :
IT IS TRULY WRONG TO CONCLUDED THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT THE LORD JESUS WOULD BE BORN ON DECEMBER AT WINTER SEASON, BUT SHOWS HERE AND THE REST, THAT WINTER SEASON JUST STARTED TO MAKE HIS WAY.

WHAT IS THE RELATION OF "THE FEAST OF TABERNACLE" TO THE BIRTH OF JOHN " THE BAPTIST ", AND THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST THE MESSIAH ? :

This is not a co-incidence, the Bible and what is written will show you the importance of this, that indeed that moment " Feast of Tabernacle ", Christ make His way to introduce who He really is as Messiah, where even John the Baptist her mother Elisabeth starts conceiving him in the day of the " Feast of Tabernacle " month of Tishri (September), he even leaped in the womb of his mother Elizabeth when he heard Mary conceiving Jesus.

Luke 1: 41 King James Version  

And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

The Feast of Tabernacle :



AS APPOINTED TIME and SEASON :
Here all even places is something like a co-incidence, but not, everything is related, like Jesus as The Lamb of God who was born on December, also as Israel's sheep lambing season biologically, here Jesus the Messiah will travel from Galilee going back to Judea to start His Mission,  Mary and Joseph from Judea ( Nazareth) to Galilee ( Bethlehem ) to begin God's Salvation to mankind, everything is related even places going to the " Feast of Tabernacle ". 

Jesus Christ will starts to introduce who He really is as Messiah ( John 7: 1-29 ) and in verse 25 to 26, These are what is written :


John 7: 10,25-29 New International Version (NIV)

Division Over Who Jesus Is :

10 However, after his brothers had left for the festival, he went also, not publicly, but in secret. 
11 Now at the festival the Jewish leaders were watching for Jesus and asking, “Where is he ?”
25 At that point some of the people of Jerusalem began to ask, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill ? 
26 Here he is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying a word to him. Have the authorities really concluded that he is the Messiah ? 
27 But we know where this man is from; when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he is from.”
28 Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, “Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. I am not here on my own authority, but he who sent me is true. You do not know him, 
29 but I know him because I am from him and he sent me.”
IS THERE ANYONE CAN OBJECT THESE TRUTH ? 
POSSIBLY IF THEY ARE AN INSTRUMENT OF SATAN WHO ARE DISREGARDING THE TRUE MESSAGE OF CHRISTMAS IN THE MONTH OF DECEMBER. 

TRULY JESUS WAS BORN MONTH OF DECEMBER :  PRAISE THE LORD !

THE TRUE MESSAGE OF CHRISTMAS :
Many believe that the meaning of Christmas is giving, no problem about giving because love is giving, you cannot show your love without giving.

People are showing their love by giving a Christmas Gifts to their Love Ones especially to Children, Children are the most blessed in times of Christmas Day when it comes to receiving gifts, plus, if ever they encounter Santa Claus.
But the real and true meaning of Christmas, many of them doesn’t know, because they don’t know the Scriptures, although they are attending a Mass especially the Catholics, the reality of Christmas Message did not Manifest in them.

HERE’S HOW I SIMPLY DEFINE WHAT CHRISTMAS IS :

C H R I S T Man‘s Adorable Saviour DAY :

The birth of Jesus Christ in December is truly the fulfillment of the coming Savior, it is God The Father who gave us Jesus Christ to save us :
John 3:16 King James Version (KJV)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
LET ME SIMPLIFY TO ALL THE MESSAGE OF CHRISTMAS 

THE MESSAGE OF CHRISTMAS IS SALVATION OF OUR SOUL BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH THROUGH JESUS OUR SAVIOR :
Ephesians 2: 8-9  King James Version (KJV)
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
For by grace we are saved through faith ?

YES ! It is by GRACE through FAITH we will be SAVED !
WHAT IS GRACE ?

The freely given, unmerited favor and love of God. the influence or spirit of God operating in humans to regenerate or strengthen them. a virtue or excellence of divine origin: the Christian graces. Also called state of grace. the condition of being in God's favor or one of the elect.

Grace is freely given, it is free !
It is free and unmerited favor and loved of God as what is written : 
   “ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son ” ...
This is how to simply understand it, God gave His Son Jesus.
Now have you already received what God gave or already given ?  
Possibly not if you are unbeliever  “ That He gave his only begotten Son ”. 
As simply as this: If God is giving something, only thing to do is to receive it.
Grace is free !  That is the meaning of Grace – Freely Given
 “ God gave his only begotten Son ” means you have to receive Jesus His only begotten Son, receive Him as your Lord and Savior, then that will be the time to become sons of God :
John 1:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
ARE ALL CHILDREN OF GOD ? NO !

John 8:44 King James Version (KJV)

44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

As of now there are people whose father is the devil and not God

NOT ALL ARE CHILDREN OF GOD AS IT IS WRITTEN, UNLESS YOU HAVE CHRIST :

You will only become son of God if you will received the Gift of God, This is what the message of Christmas is :

John 1:12 King James Version (KJV)

12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
But as adopted not begotten :

Ephesians 1:5 King James Version (KJV)
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will.
We will become adopted children of God by accepting and receiving Jesus through faith
WHY ADOPTED ?

Christ Jesus is the only Son of God, it is just like this :

If the husband and wife has only one child and by reason cannot anymore bring forth or begot another child, many decides to adopt so that their child will not be alone and with someone to be with.

So as an adopted children of God, we will be Jesus brothers and sisters to be with him together as also heirs of His Kingdom :

Hebrews 2: 12 King James Version (KJV)
12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. ( Here Jesus calls as brothers or brethren )
Romans 8: 17 King James Version (KJV)
17 And if children, then heirsheirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

John 14: 2-3King James Version (KJV)

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Very clear that those who already received Jesus became His brethren and joint-heirs with Christ, heirs of God, and will live together with Christ in Heaven.

So now being children of God by receiving Jesus through faith there’s no more punishment of your soul to hell but to have an Everlasting Life in Heaven :
John 3:16 King James Version (KJV)
16 For God so loved the world mankind ), that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in ( received Him ) him should not perish in hell )but have everlasting life ( in Heaven ).
PRAISE THE LORD ! THAT IT IS CHRISTMAS DAY WHEN GOD THE FATHER GAVE US A SAVIOR THROUGH HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON JESUS.

AND NOW THANK GOD THAT THE TRUE MESSAGE OF CHRISTMAS NOW MANIFEST IN US TO THOSE WHO ALREADY RECEIVED JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR 

NOW BECOMING HEIRS, CO-HEIRS OF CHRIST IN HEAVEN FOREVER AND EVER, AMEN !
