Imagine my surprise when you released this amazing subject. Love your study. Just yesterday Sabbath/Saturday I spent much time on this subject and walked away with "It's all about the shepherds in the field at night" Just confirmation that God has us in the same Spirit of excellence/truth.

You, are absolutely correct. I did the quick math using Zachariah date of when he left for home after completing his priestly duties, probably in May, John was conceived. Mary must have been pregnant three months when Elizabeth gives birth to John the Baptist, probably March...Six months later, Mary gives birth to our Savior, Yeshua, in September. The bible teaches that if we continue to do something that is perceived wrong and in this case, acknowledging and celebrating a pagan holiday that shows no reverence to our Savior, and still do it, is wrong..so, as Christians, I ask my dear brothers and sisters, is this something you want on your conscious. The Word of God tells us to be separated from the world and all of its worldly nuances. Rather than celebrating these pagan holidays, celebrate the blessed Feast Days of God. They should be a joy to us and they will be a joy to the Lord!

Thank you for your videos and knowledge brother Nelson. I love all of them and love how you break down prophecy bro. You have taught me a lot on these subjects in the Bible. U are Truly a blessing to all of us brother. Jesus Christ Bless you and your Channel brother Nelson. Joshua

The excitement I get every time u post a new video lol.

We can estimate when Jesus was born by counting backward from his death on Passover, Nisan 14 in the spring of the year 33 C.E. (John 19:14-16) Jesus was about 30 years old when he began his three-and-a-half-year ministry, so maybe he was born in the early fall of 2 B.C.E.-just a theory . G-d bless you Nelson always.

Thank you, Nelson! Love this video.

Another great insightful video Nelson. Thanks for the video, we have alot of biblical mysteries in common lol. Have you done one on pharaoh of exodus? Its something I've studied for many years and would be happy to share notes.

Hi Nelson. Thank you for the very interesting video. I listened to it several times. Recently, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about Christmas. I’ve come to the conclusion, for myself, that as we pray daily to thank Heavenly Father and his most Holy Jesus for the sacrifices they made for our eternal salvation, should we not also be thankful every day that Lord Jesus was born? For the purity of His life and the miracles that He performed? Just a thought. To me, in that way of thinking, every day is a celebration.

Also, the temple was destroyed in 70 AD; 40 years after Jesus' death... 40 is a very Biblical number and it wouldn't surprise me if that 40 year-number was on purpose as well... That also puts Jesus' death in 30 AD and His birth in 3 BC...

Excellent teaching! I have read several chapters of Joseph Lenard's book online and was fascinated to learn about "Migdal Eder", the tower of the flock. This makes so much sense! God is in the details! And the prophecy in Micah 4:8 sure seems to support this. Your presentation here clarified the issue of when the sacrificial lambs were born (in the spring), so that the tower would be available to Joseph and Mary for Messiah to be born there. Also the fact that the shepherds were in the field at night, as someone below also mentioned. I couldn't reconcile how there could be sacrificial lambs in the field and being born in the tower at the same time, which is what I had thought. Well, they were born in the spring, so it's logical they would be in the field this time of year. And note, the scripture only mentions a "flock" (singular). I recall that Lenard writes that these sacrificial lambs were also wrapped in swaddling cloths (which is why I thought they were being born as the same time as Messiah), because they had to take such special care of them to ensure they were acceptable for sacrifice, no blemishes (or injuries). The angel gave the shepherds two signs, that they would find him 1) wrapped in swaddling cloths and 2) lying in a manger. Thus, they "made haste" to look for him, because they knew right where to go to find him. Does the fact of Yeshua being the "Lamb of God" give us any clues as to the true length of His ministry? I refer back to the sacrifice of Isaac, for which the LORD provided a ram, but Abraham said the LORD would (i.e., future) provide a lamb. There is one teacher who believes that Yeshua's ministry may have actually been about 70 weeks, in other words a little over a year, not 3 1/2 years. He says, "Yeshua was a one-year-old lamb, not a 3 1/2 year old ram." I'd be curious to know how old the sacrificial lambs actually were on average when they were sacrificed in the temple at Passover (perhaps a clue to the length of His ministry?), considering that Passover would occur somewhere between March and the middle of April, as I understand it. In any case, how was the idea of a 3 1/2 year ministry for Yeshua calculated? Could it actually have been less? 3 1/2 years actually seems like a long time to me, especially considering that the religious leaders almost immediately wanted to have Yeshua killed when he started performing miracles. Would His ministry really have been able to last 3 1/2 years? I don't know, but I think it is something else to consider. Have you studied this, Nelson? It would be interesting to see a video teaching on this as well to hear your thoughts. As you said, knowing these things that aren't so clear may not be so important in the scheme of things, but when we love someone we want to know everything about them. Furthermore, there are lots of "traditions" taught that are not Biblical (like, for example, Mt. Sinai being in the Sinai Peninsula!). Merry Christmas, Nelson, and thank you for your ministry! God bless!

Been waiting for this!

In Luke, we are told about the conception of John Baptist. After his father, Zacharias, who was of the course of Abia, completed his service in the temple, he went into his wife, Elizabeth, and she conceived. John Baptist was 6 months in the womb, when Mary who was pregnant with our Lord Jesus, walked into her cousin Elizabeth's house, and John lept within his mother's womb (Luke 1:5--44). In 1 Chronicles 24: 10, we are told that the eighth of 24 lots fell to Abia. The tabernacle of the tent of the congregation was set up on the first day of the first month. If Zacharias went home immediately after he complete the days of his ministration in the later part of the month of Tammuz (July), and Elizabeth conceived, John Baptist would have been born 9 months later in the month of Nisan or Abib (April) [Luke 1: 23-24]. Jesus was/is six months younger than his older cousin John Baptist, so Jesus was born in the month of Tishri (late September/early October). This agrees with the fact that Jesus was 33 and 1/2 years old on Passover of the year that he was crucified.

Another wonderful video! Thank you Nelson!Glory to Jesus!Marantha!Joy to the world!

The Shepherds of Bethlehem were part of the priesthood since their lambs were for temple sacrifices. I don’t presently have the reference, but I recall a YT video noting that there were breeds of sheep (Awasi, perhaps) for whom there was a second lambing season in the fall.

What a beautiful discourse, backed up by much loving reflection on research. God bless you.

Isn’t it amazing that Yahshua ALWAYS FULFILLS with over-achieving our understanding!! You bring up an amazing point in the video Nelson... where you mention that Solomon took 9/11 to inaugurate his kingship, but it was written that Yahshua would be from David’s line... and of fulfilling and exceeding our understanding this would be very fitting for Yahshua to inaugurate his kingship! I’ve been preaching this for years cause of Johns birth and how it is connected to Yahshua’s conception and birth which also points to this same time of year... then he was born in the fall feats and fulfilled the sprIng feasts... and will return likely to finish the remaining fall feasts, which are fulfilling to say the least of what God intends within these feasts

Mary was told by the angel she would conceive and this happened on the 6th month of the year, 9 months later we have a baby. John was conceived in the start of the year meaning his father was appointed at the start of the year. When the wise men told Harrod about the star and child much time had passed from their travel, it is why Harrod sent the order for the children who were 2 years and under to be killed.

Very timely indeed, thanks again Nelson Till next time.

The problem with winter argument is that there is no winter in December in Israel. The icy winter occurs during January. And about the sheep, the type of sheep that is being tended by the shepherds were not ordinary sheep but the type of sheep that were being used in daily sacrifices and they roam year round.

Just after Jesus 40 days in the wilderness after his baptism he was at the wedding feast where he changes water into wine. His first miracle but he told his mother Mary that it wasn’t yet the appropriate day (30th birthday) ...

I will say that Jesus was born in late March or early April and I skipped that from scripture he says one thing scripture teaches is that the Shepherds were out at night during the time of Jesus birth, and from talking to modern-day Shepherds they're only out at night during the time sheep give birth because of a high mortality rate dying birth because she / usually born breached and sheep generally give birth in late winter and early spring. Which is late March and early April. And personally I do not see Jesus returning be on the anniversary of his own Resurrection Retweeted

I tell you what Nelson. You might be on the money because you're not the only one to point out that Jesus birthday is on September 11 3 bc. Just by working out the season's alone. December is winter in Israel.

I watched a compelling Skiba video. In that video, he goes back to the astronomy and demonstrates that based on astronomy records, the likely date of Jesus' birth was 9/11/03 BC.

There are two leading arguments for the birth date of Jesus. 1.1st is the traditional date in December 25 in conjunction with the Feast of Hanukkah and Zechariah's temple service during Yom Kippur which is his second service. 2.2nd is the October birth which is conjunction with the Feast of Sukkot and Zechariah's first temple service. This would place Hannukah as the time when Jesus was conceived which is still close to the traditional date. I think there is no problem with either dates because both dates are in conjunction with important Jewish Festivals. And to think that the first Christians were Jews, they put new significance of these feasts to center on Jesus.

Thanks as usual Nelson. It took a little time to finally get around to watch this but it did not disappoint. Sept. 11th is an interesting date and number (911)?

Great video

"Our ancestors restricted the Saturnalia to a single day, the fourteenth before the Kalends of January, but, after Gaius Caesar had added two days to December, the day on which the festival was held became the sixteenth before the Kalends of January, with the result that, since the exact day was not commonly known-some observing the addition which Caesar had made to the calendar and others following the old usage -the festival came to be regarded as lasting for more days than one." -Macrobius "From that time there is no mention of the celebration of Sol Invictus in Roman history until the rule of Aurelian (A.D. 270-275). Aurelian did try to re-introduce the worship of Sol Invictus by decree in the year 274. But there is no record of this festival being held on December 25th. “The traditional feast days of Sol, as recorded in the early imperial fasti, were August 8th and/or August 9th, possibly August 28th, and December 11th.” (Hijmans, p. 588 )

The Bible does not specifically say the date of Jesus’ birth. However, the worldly tradition of December 25th is wrong because it is a winter month and the scriptures speak of the sheep being in pasture (Luke 2:8). A study of the time of the conception of John the Baptist reveals he was conceived about Sivan 30, the eleventh week, [our June 22]. Many Bible believing scholars believe Jesus was born during the Feast of Tabernacles. Matthew Henry states: “It is supposed by many that our blessed Savior was born much about the time of this (Jewish) holiday; when He left His mansions of light above to tabernacle among us (John 1:1), and He dwelt in booths. And the worship of God under the New Testament is prophesied of under the notion of keeping the feast of tabernacles, (Zechariah 14:16). For, (1) The Gospel of Christ teaches us to dwell in tabernacles, to sit loose to this world, as those that have here no continuing city, but by faith, and hope and holy contempt of present things, to go out to Christ without the camp, (Hebrews 13:13-14). (2) It teaches us to rejoice before the Lord our God. Those are the circumcision, Israelites indeed, that always rejoice in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:3). And the more we are taken off from this world the less liable we are to the interruption of our joys.” When Zechariah was ministering in the temple, he received an announcement from God of a coming son. The eighth course of Abia, when Zechariah was ministering, was the week of Sivan 12 to 18 (Killian n.d.). Adding forty weeks for a normal pregnancy reveals that John the Baptist was born on or about Passover (Nisan14) [March 25]. We know six months after John’s conception, Mary conceived Jesus (Luke 1:26-33). Therefore, Jesus would have been conceived six months later in the month of Kislev. Kislev 25 [Dec. 25] is celebrated by Jews today as Hanukkah. Was the “light of the world” conceived on the festival of lights? Starting at Hanukkah, which begins Kislev 25 and continues for eight days, and counting through the nine months of Mary’s pregnancy, one arrives at the approximate time of the birth of Jesus at the Feast of Tabernacles (the early fall of the year) [late September or early October]. [Wouldn’t it make sense that the gospel that we preach is supposed to be “according to the scriptures?” (1 Cor. 15)] During the Feast of Tabernacles, God required all male Jews to come to the Temple in Jerusalem. The many pilgrims coming to Jerusalem for the festivals would spill over to the surrounding towns. (Bethlehem is about five miles from Jerusalem). Joseph and Mary were unable to find a room at the inn because of the influx of so many pilgrims. They may have been given shelter in a booth [sukkah], which is built during a seven day period each year accompanying the celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles. Due to the difficulties during travel, it was common for the officials to declare tax time during a temple feast (Luke 2:1). [In an agrarian economy harvest time is when the farmers have monies so they can be taxed!] We know our Messiah was made manifest into a temporary body when He came to earth. Is it possible He also was put in a temporary dwelling upon His birth? The fields would have been dotted with these backyard Sukkoths during this harvest time to temporarily shelter their animals. It may be of some interest that the Hebrew word for “stable” in Genesis 33:17 is translated Succoth, (“And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.”) “And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped Him in a manger; [animal feed trough found regularly where cattle are kept] because there was no room for them in the inn.” (Luke 2:7) Joseph and Mary soon took the child and flew to Egypt and remained there until they were told by God that Herod was dead. Joseph and Mary brought the baby Jesus into Jerusalem forty days from his birth for Mary’s purification and the child’s dedication. (According to Torah this had to be done within forty days of the birth of a male child -not doing so is considered a sin) [see Leviticus 12:2-8]. This indicates that Herod died as recorded in the scriptures, within the same forty days, because as long as Herod was alive, they had to be very cautious not to appear at the Temple at Jerusalem. (According to the historian Josephus’ calculations, Herod’s death occurred during Autumn in the fourth year before the Common Era [4 b.c.]) Later in His life, is it possible Jesus celebrated His birthday on a mountain with three of His disciples? In contrast to birthday parties, such as Herod’s where people were killed for entertainment, His would have been a celebration of life. On the Feast of Succoth (Tabernacles), Jesus entertained two special friends that specifically appeared to speak with Him. Moses and Elijah, from centuries past, representatives of the Law (Torah) and the Prophets, appeared on the mount of Transfiguration and talked with Jesus. One disciple (Peter) suggested building three tabernacles (succoths) for Jesus, Moses, and Elijah. Could it be because it was required for the festival? Peter may not have understood that these three were fulfilling that which the festival symbolized: saints dwelling in their temporary tabernacle (succoth) of flesh, awaiting their eternal resurrection temples as promised in Bible prophecy. Today, a number of Christians are celebrating Christ’s birth during the Feast of Tabernacles, complete with decorations and even strings of electric lights on their succoths, with music celebrating Jesus’ first Advent. Is there any other way to legitimately show your love for God and that He has made you different from the world?

I have heard, in association with the Sun in the Virgo constellation, that on December 25th, 1 B.C., a star (I believe may have been part of the Virgo constellation) changed direction just above the horizon. This would have been seen south of Jerusalem, in the direction of Bethlehem, just as it would have stopped in the sky and started in the opposite direction. I've heard it theorized that it was at this time the magi were in Jerusalem and would have been guided to Bethlehem. Also, Luke supposedly had a very reliable witness for his information. According to tradition, Luke was with John, whom Jesus gave his mother, Mary, to when he was on the cross. Luke, in turn, would have had Mary as a source for his information. Who better would have that information about Jesus's early life and ministry than his earthly mother?

I know, it is long long way to take new things to our hearts as it was for the disciples of Jesus.

I believe all that you have shared. Thank you!

Brilliant research as usual. I think all the streams coming together like you have done make this the best calculation I have ever seen. As to the place, I think Migdal Eder is the perfect candidate for this. Also the shepherds were told they would find the baby in a manger, they would have had free access to this place. Just out of interest, how far from Bethlehem is Migdal Eder? Just a couple of production notes, the volume seems to be getting lower and lower on the last few videos, I've got it up as loud as possible on my pc and it is hard to hear over some background noise. Also, are you aware some of your art is from the Watchtower Society (Jehovah's Witnesses)? Just mentioning so you can decide whether you want to keep using it or not.

We know Jesus is about 6 months younger than John. We know John's father was promised a child shortly after the Day of Atonement (Or another day the priest goes in to burn insence). So around 15 months after The Day of Atonement is a good guesstimate.

I heard very similar arguments about the birth, although I fell for the Tabernacle date since it seemed SO logical (G-D tabernacled among US?) - Now I actually hope 9/11 turns out to be the date, since it seems certain that the bad guys planned to turn the tables on the TRUTH !

I personally stopped celebrating this just because of - just personal view! “Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God: for every abomination to the Lord, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.”

Love your videos. ❤️ but where do they keep the sheep during the winter ?

Jesus was very specific about how He wanted to be remembered in Matthew 26:26-28, Mark 14:22-24 Luke 22:19-20, and even mentioned in 1 Corinthians 11:23-29. If He wanted us to remember His birth, to be sure He would have said so. Birthdays mentioned in the Bible were celebrated by Pharaoh of Egypt Genesis 40:20-22 and Herod Matthew 14:6-10. Jesus is not a babe in a manger He is a Mighty King who will be a loving ruler over humankind. John 4:23-24, 2 Timothy 2:15

Very interesting perspectives. The consternation - does it happen every year?

The shepherds in the Bethlehem fields cared for the temple flock’s and needed to be in the fields year around. I think it was Bishop Lightfoot pointed out that they had portable shelters.

Interesting study.

Well done sir.

Great video.. you already know that those are the dates I believe too from previous comments on other videos September 11th 3 B.C and conception was on Hanukkah and 27 ce was when Jesus was baptized. Every word shall be established with 2 or 3 witnesses but there is always something to learn .. the tower of the flock.. never heard of it and the prophecy of Micah never studied it to be honest or heard it somewhere.. so ty for that. May God bless you even more

Merry Christmas happy new year for about 1-1-2020 not 25 Dec. Thanks Nelson again.

Nelson I've tried two different machines your volume is to low.

Brother Nelson,must admit you have done a marvellous job right up to the NEAR end ,but sadly to say it was spoiled by saying you didn't mind if people would celebrate it in a worldly way ,I needn't elaborate.

Have a blessed Christmas Nelson! God bless you and all your loved ones. And may the peace of our Lord always be upon you.

Since we are talking about Christmas, my wife wonders if the murder of the Two Witnesses occurs at Christmas as Rev 11:10 "And those dwelling on the earth rejoice over them and make merry, and will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets have tormented those dwelling upon the earth." If it was Christmas, it would be a distraction for the world as to what was going on. Of course the prophecy says they do it because they are glad they are dead, but maybe it occurs the first year after the birth of Jesus is officially removed as the reason for Christmas or the celebration/mention of Jesus and his birth is banned.

Good morning Mr. Nelson, do you have an email in which I can send you a note? Thank you kindly, Patricia

VERY low volume. Even when played on an external speaker.

One question about the calculations, God said the beginning of Aviv (later called Nisan) is to be Israel's New Year. The rabbis changed it. Which do you think Jesus would recognize.

Scholars say Jesus was born Tishi 1, 1 BC wrongly assume Jesus' ministry was 3 years. Jesus' ministry was 1 year to proclaim "the acceptable YEAR of the LORD." Mt, Mk, Lk all have 1 year ministry, Jn, if translated correctly, agrees. Somebody incorrectly added another Pentecost that was simply "a feast of the Jews," they say it was Pentecost, but Jesus was NOT at the Tempple, which violates the Law. Jesus our Passover Lamb had to be OF THE FIRST YEAR. So scholares agree on Tishri 1 (Sept 11) 3 BC.

For what it's worth: Your dating of Yeshua's birth day pretty much agrees with Michael Rood's Book "The Chronological Gospels: the Life and Seventy Week Ministry of the Messiah" in which he identifies Tishri 15 3998 - Sept 26 3 BCE.

Nelson, Zech 14;16 is interesting in that during the millennium all nations will take part of the feast of tabernacles or their rain will stop and the plagues of Egypt will visit them. So if the feast of tabernacles was the birth of Jesus it would make sense for all nations to be inclined to celebrate it. Dec 25th was picked because of the winter solstice. And the drunken orgy that Constantine wanted to celebrate. I have no problem celebrating Jesus birthday on Christmas. My problem is the santa intertwining with Jesus birthday. When a home is filled with santas and Jesus is given no praise then it becomes a pagan holiday. Just my thoughts. Thank you for your work.

Regardless the time or even the jeaniolgy of our Savour, the moment is every mourning that His mercy is a new. Be refreshed not in your slumber that is a death of the flesh.but in your awakening and the awareness of vapor and dust. But a single moment captured ,grasped, or for the lack of better words - A breath. And what takes it away ? It is but a vapor like moments going by. Your not what you were, nor are you what will be. Right now how you see yourself is your choice to be.

The pattern of the Prophetical Fulfillment of the Spring Feasts and the Fall Feasts suggests Jesus as the Lamb of God, was born in the Lambing season in the Spring, along with all the other Sacrificial Lambs, and in the place where the Sacrificial Lambs were born. - This pattern then further suggests that the second coming will then be in the Fall. Notes: to consider. 1) Obviously there was no zero (0) year in the crossover from BC to AD. 2) Further, I have heard that the Jews considered a child to be one year old at the time of their birth, including the 9 months in the womb as the first year. 3) Upto this point in time the best presentation I have heard regarding the Birth of Jesus was given by The Messianic Jewish Rabbi Jonathan Cahn given on the Jim Baker Show available on KZfaq.

At least this another explanation is still in conjunction with another important Jewish Festival which is Feast of Trumpets. This was a good point actually. The only thing i disagree with this video is about the connection with Saturnalia. Saturnalia commonly start at December 17 and lasted only for 4 days. The early Christians however are already celebrating Christmas via prayer and hymns but cannot celebrate publicly from the 1st to the 4th century because they were being persecuted by the Romans. Furthermore, the first Christians were Jews and their festivals meant a lot to them. So they could have celebrated Christmas during important feasts like Hanukkah/Feast of Dedication, Sukkot/Feast of Tabernacles and Rosh Hashana/Feast of Trumpets.

The prophecy in Daniel 9: 24-27 showed the time of Christ's appearance, also in the first instance, so therefore, the disciples of John were 'in expectation', and the year was accurate: 29 CE, when Christ was manifest to Israel, as a thirty-year old. Matthew 3: 1 THIS occurred because the Gregorian calendar which we are using, actually has no year "0". So between 1BCE and 1 CE is one year. [Even though we can see it should be 2 years] That is why Christ was manifest in 29 CE as an adult of 30 years; due to the error of this calendar, created in modern times. Does this error cause confusion? Yes, indeed. But Bible students in modern times have taken this into account, so the times and the seasons, according to prophecy, are accurate.

Christopher Hughes MD has the most sound theory for the date of Jesus' birth with evidence from astronomy software Starry Night. He gives the date June 17, 2BC, and says September 11, 3BC was the conception date. You will find his videos on it by searching KZfaq for "Christopher Hughes MD Christ birth." I can put a link for it here in the chat if you can't find it. I highly suggest checking it out. It would be interesting to hear your take on it brother

December (Roman month) December (from Latin decem, "ten") or mensis December was originally the tenth month of the Roman calendar, following November (novem, "nine") and preceding ...

From what I can tell is the New Moon Day or Yom Teruah would have been on September 10, 3 BC, not the 11th. Am I seeing that incorrectly?

To be precise: does Messiah come AFTER 69th week or during the last year of 69th week?

The audio is too low. Pls adjust the volume. Tnx

Mr. Nelson, in this video you said sins were given remission by water Baptism, but, the Word of God says that "sin can only be given remission by the shedding of blood " What gives?

Here is something of interest...The Egyptians ( who by the way never build the Great Pyramids!) said in their books that the Sphinx is the Head of a Virgin and the Body of a loin! .. So I think Christ was born in the sign of Virgo and returns in the sign of Leo...

Exactly frank

Good video. Ok. Now I'm back where I HAD been. Lol. I was so so on if being the lamb of God time vs Sept time. Guess all I had read on year Herod died being 4BC led me to the year but now I see how that year can be off. Good grief. Hehe. But. I SURE know it wasnt Dec 25th.

Thankyou for your time and great effort in researching and presenting facts to all christianity to know the truth.After this video i intend to quit christmas celebration because i don't see any point to do so.I may leave a comment that any biblcal history should not have changed as it is confusing the world who have the rights to know .

It’s interesting that if you count 8 weeks from the feast of Trumpets, Jesus would have been dedicated on the 27th day of Cheshvan. The day Noah left the ark

Nissan1 Exodus 12:1-2 states that Nisan is the first month in the intercalation of the new year and the Mishnah in Tractate Rosh Hashanah 1:1 describes the First of Nisan as one of the four beginnings of the Jewish New Year: There are four new years.

If Jesus started his ministry at the end of the 69th week and was cut off in the mist of the 70th week. Wouldn’t that leave only 3 and 1/2 years left in the prophecy of 70 weeks?

Thank you, Nelson. I always thought Jesus was born in the Spring. From the clues in the Bible. Merry Christmas. Many years ago, I saw a preposterous dvd claiming that Jesus Christ was actually Caesarian (Caesar and Cleopatra's son.) Some new age friends of mine at the time totally believed these lies. I'll never forget how easily they were duped into believing such fabricated histories.

What about the astrological occurrence on Dec 25? When the sun rises for 3 days.. the Bible does say that we are to mourn a birth and celebrate a death. So I've always thought we should give gifts on Easter Sunday.

Sept 29 .

The Star That Astonished the World Paperback - by Ernest L. Martin

Jesus was born during warm season (fresh air night)

this is correct. jesus would have been born in the migdal eder on 11 september 3 bc, and it is highly likely that both mary and joseph first tried to find accomodations in jerusalem with relatives but since this is the time of the high holy days leading to sukkot, jerusalem would be impossibly full of pilgrims from all over the empire, and have no choice but to trek to bethlehem to find accommodations with other relatives in or near the house of jesse, since they are both of the davidic house.

As for the difference between Jew historian and the Roman historians one year difference can be accounted because of different calendars Now this can be wrong im not a historian but since we still have this issue today so much so they have two calendars i would say it is likely the case even though it is dated two different years they could both be talking about the exact same time might even find in research that there was only different because one was 17-22 days longer then other.

September 22

During her lifetime Mary would have been asked for the date of Jesus birth. What would be her response?

I think that John the Baptist was born at around Passover and Yahoshua was born six months later. Just a hunch though.

1 Nisan

About Virgo: 1) what do you mean Virgo is the only woman constellation? What about Andromeda and her mother Cassiopeia? And then there's the 7 Pleiades sisters. 2) These are Greek constellations, not Jewish. Outside of the letters to the 7 churches, Revelation is a VERY Jewish book, given to a Jewish man, with lots of Jewish imagery, and focus on the people of Israel and therefore if the woman is a constellation, it should be a Jewish one, as the Greek are not universal. In Japan, the aforementioned Pleiades is called Subaru, and Mars (of which they have a different name) is culturally still regarded as a star when it is seen by the naked eye every other year. Polynesian cultures refer to Scorpio's tail as Maui's fish hook.

June 6

Sounds very logical considering all the relevant issues involved. But certainly the north is not as important as his death and resurrection. Since he is our saviour forever and always.

Why do you think God didn't give us the exact day of Jesus birth? Do you think maybe it had something to do with King Herod wanting to kill Jesus? >>> "When Herod saw that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was filled with rage. Sending orders, he put to death all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, according to the time he had learned from the Magi." Matthew 2:16. Divulging this information would be like a general divulging his war tactics to the enemy. This is why such information would not be disclosed, simple common sense. Certainly you aren't saying that there are certain days of the year that we are forbidden to discuss the birth of our Lord and Savior are you??? Since we can't agree on the date are we just supposed to not ever talk about it? God Forbid! Jesus Christ was born, lived, crucified and resurrected on the third day just as it is detailed in scripture. If it wasn't important it wouldn't be included in the Word of God, but it is important and it is included. This is the gospel, the great commission that we are to share with others. You can't share the gospel with others and leave out the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is His Story, History. For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! 1 Corinthians 9:16. Share Jesus all year long!!!

March 20th

As I continue to watch. My belief. Harold died in 4 BC. add at least a year if not 2 yrs making it around 6BC. As to date. I lean toward Nissan time. Jesus is the lamb to be our sacrifice. Jews r not always out in the fields . They DO however stay out during the lambing season since the blood brings in wolves and lions. They ARE out during the breeding season to separate the ewe that have bred from ones needing to breed. Let's see what u say. Winter time wont work. Sheep are brought in for winter

Can you show what is going on on Nisan 1 in those years? I just watch Jonathan Cahn show the birth date was then, then He would have been born, began His ministry and died about the same time!! John @ tells us at the wedding of Cana , Nisan 3, it wasn't yet His time, but 11 days latter it was!!!

21st of August it was.

i stopped warching the video after noticing nelson using THE term WOULD so many times. i then shiftED to the GOD CULTURE video which confidently declared JUNE 2 AS THE REAL DATE.

Jesus began his ministry at 27 AD and died in 30 AD as prophesied by Daniel. The destruction of the temple and Jerusalem in 70 AD was 40 years from the date of the Crucification to parallel Jonah’s 40 prophetic day warning to Nineveh. So I agree with your analysis Nelson. My Church celebrates on Jan 7 so at least it is not tied to the pagan date.

Concerning the Sheppard on being in Jerusalem for Sukkot. If we take the premise that Yeshua had to be born on a Mo’diem. And if we use your logic that the Shepard had to be in Jerusalem for Sukkot so they could be out in the field. Well then what about Joseph and Mary? They were in Bethlehem we know that and not Jerusalem. Or is Bethlehem close enough since it is only 2 miles away?

NELSON! GET THIS! IT REGARDS THE ALIGNMENT IN 2017 At the time of the birth of Jupiter the Sun was on Virgos shoulder! Strong's says the Hebrew word for shoulder, Katheph, comes from an unused root meaning 'to clothe'!!! Strong's h3802 - Lexical: כָּתֵף - Transliteration: katheph - Part of Speech: Noun Feminine - Phonetic Spelling: kaw-thafe' - Definition: shoulder, shoulder blade, side. - Origin: From an unused root meaning to clothe; the shoulder (proper, i.e. Upper end of the arm; as being the spot where the garments hang); figuratively, side-piece or lateral projection of anything. - Usage: arm, corner, shoulder(-piece), side, undersetter. By the way ;my guess would be that the sign of jupiter in virgo would have PRECEEDED Jesus' birth by at least a year, making it a prophetic sign.

September 11, 3BC

I love your work Nelson but with pride cometh a fall and consider what other channels are rated highly by utube and some things that might be censored bless you Nelson but you could be a stumbling block to those trying to achieve humility

2Co 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

Zachariah and Joseph were brothers. Elizabeth and Mary became family.

He was born in the 15th century when they invented the letter 'j'

I am one that believes there is substantial evidence, that has been there for those who want to find it, for a winter, even a Christmas birth. I will go with the timing based on Abijah's temple service, which establishes John's conception and birth.(the Church also holds John's conception to be 9/23. From there, John's birth can be determined to be June 24. The church historically celebrates the Annunciation on 3/25, which is in line with both The Dead sea scroll accounting, and early church fathers. Disregarding tradition should not be lightly disregarded as higher criticism is often wrong. I attach a representative article. (from 30 Days, an Italian Catholic publication n.d.) “December 25 is an historical date,” Professor Tommaso Federici, Professor at the Pontifical Urbanian University and a consultant to two Vatican Congregations, has stressed. In an article in the Osservatore Romano on December 24, he wrote: “December 25 is explained as the ‘Christianization’ of a pagan feast, ‘birth of the Sol Invictus’; or as the symmetrical balance, an aesthetic balance between the winter solstice (Dec. 21-22) and the spring equinox (March 23-24). But a discovery of recent years has shed definitive light on the date of the Lord’s birth. As long ago as 1958, the Israeli scholar Shemaryahu Talmon published an in-depth study on the calendar of the Qumran sect [Ed. based , in part, on Parchment Number 321 - 4 Q 321 - of the Qumran Dead Sea Scrolls, see picture at left], and he reconstructed without the shadow of doubt the order of the sacerdotal rota system for the temple of Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 24, 7-18) in New Testament times. Here the family of Abijah, of which Zechariah was a descendant, father of John the herald and forerunner (Luke 1, 5), was required to officiate twice a year, on the days 8-14 of the third month, and on the days 24-30 of the eighth month. This latter period fell at about the end of September. It is not without reason that the Byzantine calendar celebrated ‘John’s conception’ on September 23 and his birth nine months later, on June 24. The ‘six months’ after the Annunciation established as a liturgical feast on March 25, comes three months before the forerunner’s birth, prelude to the nine months in December: December 25 is a date of history.” In other words, according to the evidence of the Dead Sea Scrolls and Sacred Scripture, our liturgical calendar is accurate: end of September Zechariah “executed his priestly function” (Luke 1:8) according to his class. His wife, Elizabeth, conceived (the Church traditionally holds St. John’s conception to have taken place on 23 September) just as Gabriel said (Luke 1:24) and hid herself away for 5 months. 25 March, the Feast of the Annunciation In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy (Luke 1:26), Gabriel appears to Mary to tell her she is to have a child 24 June, the Feast of John the Baptist Three months after the Annunciation, John the Baptist was born, at a time when the days were becoming shorter 25 December Nine months after the Annunciation, Jesus was born, at a time when the days were becoming longer. To rebut the idea that Jesus had to have been born (rather than conceived) in the Spring because the shepherds were in their fields, which wouldn’t have been so in the Winter, there’s this, from the Jewish convert scholar, Alfred Edersheim, in his “The Life and Times of Jesus The Messiah”: And yet Jewish tradition may here prove both illustrative and helpful. That the Messiah was to be born in Bethlehem, was a settled conviction. Equally so, was the belief , that He was to be revealed from Migdal Eder, ‘the tower of the flock.’ This Migdal Eder was not the watchtower for the ordinary flocks which pastured on the barren sheepground beyond Bethlehem, but lay close to the town, on the road to Jerusalem. A passage in the Mishnah leads to the conclusion, that the flocks, which pastured there, were destined for Temple-sacrifices, and, accordingly, that the shepherds, who watched over them, were not ordinary shepherds. The latter were under the ban of Rabbinism, on account of their necessary isolation from religious ordinances, and their manner of life, which rendered strict legal observance unlikely, if not absolutely impossible. The same Mishnaic passage also leads us to infer, that these flocks lay out all the year round, since they are spoken of as in the fields thirty days before the Passover - that is, in the month of February, when in Palestine the average winter rainfall is nearly greatest. Thus, Jewish tradition in some manner apprehended the first revelation of the Messiah from that Migdal Eder, where shepherds watched the Temple-flocks all the year round. It was, then, on that ‘wintry night’ of the 25th of December, that shepherds watched the flocks destined for sacrificial services, in the very place consecrated by tradition as that where the Messiah was to be first revealed.

25th kislev is the day Moses completed the construction of the Mishkan..., the Temple of Gods presence on Earth.... The mi-shKn..... This is the origin of this date...... it is the date God also appears in the womb of Mary.
