Many credible biblical, historical and archaeological evidences confirm in unison that our Savior was born on the sacred festival of Hanukkah, when the biblical lunar-solar calendar date 25 Kislev 3757 overlapped the solar Roman Julian calendar date December 25th, 5 B.C. It is unfortunate that we are told many speculative untruths in opposition to the factual birth date of Yeshua haMashiach (Iesous Christos / Jesus the Anointed One) by non-credible sources who ignorantly spread misinformation propaganda. The purpose of this article is to expose and conclusively refute and disprove those myths.  

 

Many wrongly assume that He "was born on the feast of Sukkot (Tabernacles)", which is a direct contradiction of all of the collective evidence. They quote Yochanan (John) 1:14 as alleged "proof", while not even realizing that the Greek verb, "skenoo" simply means, "to dwell ; encamp, etc.", and is a common word which contextually applies to all human beings, etc., who live in dwellings. It has absolutely nothing at all to do with the feast of Tabernacles, which is a fall harvest that is celebrated as Hebrews gather in Jerusalem. Joseph and Miriam (Mary) were descendants of the tribe of Judah, and did not travel to Jerusalem, but instead, went from the Galilean town of Nazareth to Bethlehem, because it was the city of David, for the Romans demanded that all twelve tribes of Israel return to their original ancestral hometowns for the census.

 

We know from Scripture that Yeshua was born at the time of the first Roman census (Luke 2:1-2) when Quirinius was Governor of Syria. A review of Roman documents describe this time frame as late in the year of 5 B.C. (3757). The year of the Crucifixion is confirmed by several historians due to the darkness that occurred from noon until 3:00 PM on 14 Nisan 3790 (April 5th, 30 A.D.) during the festival of Passover (Pesach). The historians Phlegon, Thallus, Africanus and Tertullian all mention this three hour period of darkness, that does not have a scientific explanation. It was neither a lunar or solar eclipse for many reasons. Eclipses do not last three hours and cannot happen during the full moon of Passover. This was a supernatural act of Yahweh.

For example Thallus, a Samaritan historian who wrote around 52 AD, and Phlegon, a Greek historian, both recorded the darkness. Thallus tried to explain away the darkness as an eclipse. Julius Africanus (AD 160-240) researched the topic of the darkness and wrote the following:  "Upon the whole world there came a most fearful darkness. Many rocks were split in two by an earthquake, and many places in Judea and other districts were thrown down. It seems very unreasonable to me that Thallus, in the third book of his histories, would try to explain away this darkness as an eclipse of the sun."

The Hebrews celebrate their Passover on the 14th day according to the moon. But an eclipse of the sun can only take place when the moon crosses the sun. How then could an eclipse have occurred when the moon is directly opposite the sun? Scientifically it is impossible to have a full moon on the same day that there is an eclipse of the sun. The Roman historian Phlegon is mentioned by Origen who describes a darkening of the sun in the eighteenth year of Tiberius on 14 Nisan-Passover which would be 30 A.D. (3790). According to the context of the Gospel Scriptures, Yeshua (Jesus) was 33 years old when He died. If you calculate 33 years backwards from 30 A.D.  (3790), it is 5 B.C. (3757), when He was born.

One of multiple myths is the false claim that it “was too cold in Winter for sheep to be out in the fields”. The shepherds of Bethlehem were in charge of raising sheep for the temple sacrifices. According to the laws of the time the sheep that were used for the offerings had to be a one-year-old male sheep that had been outside for 365 days (one-year). Since these sheep needed to remain outside the shepherds were also outside, not using the cave during the winter (rainy season). You can see this in Luke 2: 8, “That night some shepherds were in the fields outside the village, guarding their flocks of sheep." Once the sheep were of age the shepherds would bring them to the city of Jerusalem to be sacrificed for the Sabbath (Friday afternoon). It was important that the sheep that was to be sacrificed did not possess any blemishes (broken legs, or injuries). Once the sheep’s blood was completely spilled for all of the sins the priest would return to the people and proclaim, “It is finished”. (See also Yochanan / John 19:30) 

This was one of many prophetic types and foreshadows of Yeshua becoming the final and eternal sacrifice as "the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world" (Yochanan / John 1:29), on the feast of Pesach (Passover) of 14 Abib (Nisan) 3790 ; April 5th 30 A.D. 

The claim about Christmas being "substituted for the pagan holidays" is absolutely untrue and very easy to refute and disprove. The specific context and timing are extremely important to understand. The pagan Romans did celebrate Saturnalia between Dec. 17 and 23, commemorating the winter solstice Dec. 23, but Christmas does not fit within that time frame. Also, none of the rituals of Saturnalia (including animal sacrifices) are imitated within the Christian celebration of Christmas. 

As for the so-called “Birthday of the Unconquered Sun [Dies Natalis Solis Invicti]”, Emperor Aurelian instituted this celebration in 274 (therefore, AFTER the Christian celebration of Christmas and perhaps to overshadow it). After legalization in 313, December 25th was purged of any pagan notion: For example, an ancient codex of that time marked Dec. 25 as the “Nativity of the Unconquered” (meaning Jesus), not the “Nativity of the Unconquered Sun". Then again, Emperor Julian the Apostate (reigned 361-63), who had apostatized and wanted to return the empire to paganism, tried to suppress Christmas and ordered the celebration of the Birth of the Unconquered Sun, a decision reversed upon his death. This record we have of Messiah's birth being December 25 precedes by seventy years the time the Emperor Aurelian made Sol Invictus a Roman cult, and it precedes by 150 years the earliest claimed reference to Sol Invictus being celebrated on December 25—that claim being based on the Chronography of A.D. 354. In sum, Christmas was celebrated December 25 prior to any pagan celebration on the same date. (See Taylor Marshall’s The Eternal City: Rome and the Origins of Christianity). 

Yeshua (Jesus) was really born on December 25. The proof of this fact comes from the Qumran papers, also known as Dead Sea Scrolls, and the scholar responsible for this particular discovery, Shemarjahu Talmon, was a professor at the University of Jerusalem in Israel. On the basis of Qumran’s Book of Jubilees, Talmon reconstructed the priestly shifts in the Temple of Jerusalem’s service and applied them to the Gregorian calendar.  With this knowledge, what is in the Bible (in particular in 1Ch 24:1-19, Luke 1,5 and Luke 1,8) leads us to the date of December 25th for the birth of the Messiah. The discovery was made as early as the 1950s, but many uninformed sources have totally been ignoring it for decades and still do. In fact this discovery has later been confirmed by other scholars, including Annie Jaubert, Tommaso Federici and Michele Loconsole.  He was born on December 25, and the virginal divine conception occurred 9 months earlier. Christian calendars place the angel Gabriel’s annunciation to Mary on March 25th.  But we know from the Gospel of Luke that just 6 months earlier the precursor prophet John, who will be called the Baptist, had been conceived by Elizabeth. 

 

The Gospel of Luke opens with the story of the elderly couple, Zachariah and Elizabeth, who were resigned to sterility.  Zachariah, who belonged to the priestly class of Abia (Luke 1:5), had the vision of the archangel Gabriel  (the same angel who 6 months later visited Mary in Nazareth), who announced to him that, despite his advanced age, he and his wife would have a son. They were to call him Yochanan (John), and he would be “great before the Lord”. Zachariah, when he had the apparition, “was serving as priest before God in the appointed order of his priestly division” in the temple of Jerusalem (Luke 1,8).  This is where the discovery of Professor Talmon from the documents of Qumran comes in.  

 

The papyri of Qumran are ancient Jewish religious manuscripts initially found in 1946 in the Qumran Caves in the Judaean Desert, near the northern shore of the Dead Sea, hence their more common name of Dead Sea Scrolls. Again and again they have been proving to be a real gold mine on the origins of Christianity. Among the documents of Qumran was found the so-called Book of Jubilees, on the basis of which scholars were able to reconstruct the succession of priestly shifts relating to service in the Temple of Jerusalem.  

According to what is in the Bible in 1Ch 24:1-19, King David had ordered that the “sons of Aaron” be distinguished in 24 turns, so that, alternating according to an immutable order, they would perform liturgical service for a week, from Saturday on Saturday twice a year.  

 

The order of the priestly classes was already known (Iarib, Ideia, Charim, Seorim, Mechia, Miamin, Kos, Abia, Joshua, Senechia, Eliasib, Iakim, Occhoffa, Isbaal, Belga, Emmer, Chezir, Afessi, Fetaia, Ezekil, Iachin, Gamoul, Dalaia, Maasai). Then, thanks to the Book of Jubilees we discovered that the shift of Abia (the eighth in the order of classes) corresponded to the last week of September, that is, between the 23rd and 30th of the month. Therefore, according to the Book of Jubilees, the announcement of the conception of the Baptist should have taken place in the last week of September. 

 

In fact, in the Byzantine area, this event is remembered precisely between 23 and 25 September: it is therefore possible that this date derives from an ancient tradition, perhaps oral, today confirmed by the discovery of Qumran.  Once the date of the announcement to Zachariah has been fixed, the whole Christian calendar comes out confirmed: the announcement to Mary 6 months later (March 25th), the birth of the Baptist after another 3 (June 24th), the birth of Jesus after 6 months more (December 25th). From the conception of Messiah on March 25th (6 Adar II, 3756), around the time of the Spring (Vernal) Equinox, to His birth on December 25th (25 Kislev 3757) is exactly 9 months. 

It makes sense and is a perfect fit, that Yeshua would be divinely conceived by the Holy Spirit around the time of the Spring Equinox, for the season of Spring represents life :

"Jesus [Yeshua / Iesous] said to him, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father, except by Me." (Yochanan / John 14:6)

Multiple early Christian (assembly) church fathers confirmed the same exact date of the birth of Messiah, and there are many highly-credible quotes, some almost 2,000 years old. Hippolytus of Rome was one of the early Christian assembly (church) fathers and martyrs from the 2nd-3rd century A.D. Photios I of Constantinople describes him in his Bibliotheca (cod. 121) as a disciple of Irenaeus, who was said to be a disciple of Polycarp, a church father who was a disciple of the biblical apostle Yochanan (John), according to both Irenaeus and Tertullian. Polycarp is regarded as one of three chief Apostolic Fathers, along with Clement of Rome and Ignatius of Antioch. Around 204 A.D., Hippolytus wrote that :

“the first advent of our Lord in the flesh, when he was born in Bethlehem, was eight days before the Kalends of January, while Augustus was in his forty-second year.” (Commentary on Daniel 4:23:3). The Kalends was the first day of the month, and eight days before January 1 is December 25.

Epiphanius who was the Bishop of Salamis and lived c. 310-407 A.D. wrote about the birth of Jesus (The Panarion, II 22:5-6) and confirmed that it was on “the eighth before the Kalends of January” (December 25th)

The mention of December 25 as Jesus’ birthday is also seen in part 12 of the Chronography, a mid-fourth-century Roman almanac that lists the death dates of various Christian bishops and martyrs. The first date listed [December 25], says,  “Eight days before the Kalends of January: Birth of Christ in Bethlehem of Judea.” 

Around 408 A.D., Augustine wrote :

 

“For Christ is believed to have been conceived on the 25th of March, upon which day also he suffered; so the womb of the Virgin, in which he was conceived, where no one of mortals was begotten, corresponds to the new grave in which he was buried, wherein was never man laid, neither before him nor since. But he was born, according to tradition, upon December the 25th.”  – (Saint Augustine, De trinitate, Book 4, 5)

Julius Sextus Africanus lived c. 160-240 A.D. He was born in Jerusalem, highly educated and well-travelled. He completed an elaborate chronology of the creation of the world, based on the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament, up until 221 A.D. In these calculations he concluded that the first day of creation happened March 22 and both Jesus’ annunciation and resurrection happened on March 25. Nine months from Jesus’ conception takes us to December 25.

Theophilus (115–181 A.D.) stated: “We ought to celebrate the birthday of Our Lord on what day soever the 25th of December shall happen.”

Also, the Syrian early Christian church document from 375-380 A.D. (Constitutiones Apostolorum, V, 13, 1-2)—mentioned in Section 1— setting the Nativity Day (birth of Yeshua [Jesus]) on 25 Kislev (Hanukkah). 

In 386, John Chrysostom preached a homily on December 20—the memorial of Philogonius—in which he noted that “the day of Christ’s birth in the flesh” is about to arrive in “a period of five days,” or on December 25 (On the Incomprehensible Nature of God 6:23, 30).  

Over 2,100 years ago, during the 2nd century B.C., the Maccabean revolt occurred as a positive defensive response against the Syrian pagan tyrant Antiochus Epiphanes IV, who sacrificed an unclean pig on the holy brazen altar, and scattered the blood throughout the holy sanctuary, including the Most Holy Place where the Ark of the Covenant was. Yahweh sovereignly empowered the Israelites to succeed in overcoming the Greek armies, and to purify and rededicate the Temple to Him. There was only one container of oil, which was put into the Menorah by faith. It was a divine miracle by Yahweh to keep the holy oil burning in the lampstand for seven extra days (a total of eight), until the Israelites were able to attain more pure virgin olive oil. 

 

Within the Tractate Shabbat (of the Talmud), it is written : “When the Hasmoneans became strong and overcame the enemy, they searched and could only find one bottle of oil with the seal of the high priest. It only contained enough oil for one day. A miracle occurred, and they lit the menorah with it for eight days.” The passages about the dedication of the altar imply that the miracle of the oil was not an end in itself but a stage in the overall rededication, which was where the Maccabean effort was leading. “Hanukkah” means “dedication,” and the festival derives its name not from the oil but from the restoration of the altar.

The collective historical evidences conclusively prove that on the first day of the 8-day holy feast of Hanukkah, Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah was born when lunar-solar Hebrew calendar 25 Kislev 3757 overlapped the solar Roman Julian calendar date December 25th, 5 B.C. It is an interesting point that “the twenty-fifth day of the ninth month, that is, the month of Kislev” (1 Mac. 4:22) was already held in honor as a Festival of Light. It is the Feast of Dedication in winter mentioned by the apostle Yochanan (John) 10:22. The Hebrew calendar begins in March-April in Nisan, so its ninth month roughly comes to the Roman Gregorian twelfth month, December, in most years. It is highly fitting that the 25th day of the 12th month on the Christian calendar should have been set apart for Christ, “The Light of the World” (Yochanan / John 8:12), to make His entrance into the world.

The pagan Romans did not decorate pine trees to worship as deities. YirmiYahu (Jeremiah) 10:3-5 is not contextually about the Christian Christmas tree, but rather, idols which were carved out of chopped trees, and overladen with gold and silver in the form of humanoid deities which they nailed upright and worshipped. It says so within accurate translations such as this one :  “…They chop down a tree, carve the wood into an idol, cover it with silver and gold, and then nail it down so it won't fall over. An idol is no better than a scarecrow. It can't speak, and it has to be carried, because it can't walk.” 

Various translations word this passage of Scripture differently. The context of it is crystal clear whenever perceiving the divinely-inspired Holy Bible Scriptures as one collective whole, for there are many other verses of Scripture, including Wayikra (Leviticus) 19:4 and 26:1, Devarim (Deuteronomy) 4:16-19, 23, 7:25, etc., which use the Hebrew verb, "asah", which means : "to make; carve; shape;", and the Hebrew noun, "pesel", which means : "idol". For example,

"You shall not make [asah] for yourself a carved image [pesel]..." (Shemot / Exodus)

Did you know that King Solomon decorated palm trees within the holy temple, with chains around them which look like the decorative ropes on Christmas trees today? 

“He paneled the main room with cypress, which he overlaid with fine gold and decorated with palm trees and chains.” (2 Chronicles 3:5)  

Another translation says it this way :  “He overlaid the main room with juniper wood and overlaid it with fine gold; and he ornamented it with palm trees and chains.” (2 Chronicles 3:5)  

This was not anything "pagan", but was done according to the will of the Creator. King Solomon did not commit apostasy until a much later time. Understanding the proper context and timing is extremely important for accurate interpretation of the divinely inspired Holy Bible Scriptures. This first temple in Jerusalem to YaHWeH was holy, and YaHWeH consumed the sacrifices with supernatural fire from Heaven, and filled the holy sanctuary with His glory (Kabod /Shekinah) cloud. He only honors what is holy, for if any idols were therein, YaHWeH would have killed everyone in the temple, as evidenced by Him consuming others with His glory in the Mosaic Tabernacle for offering pagan (strange) fire sacrifices. (Wayikra / Leviticus 10:1-2) Solomon didn’t sacrifice to pagan deities in the holy temple, but in pagan temples built elsewhere during later times with his foreign (gentile) wives. 

 “When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of YaHWeH filled the temple.” (2 Devarim / Chronicles 7:1) 

The Christian Christmas tree is not "pagan in origin" as ignorant people wrongly claim, but the evergreen tree actually represents the everlasting (eternal) life of Yeshua, who said, "I AM the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through Me." (Yochanan / John 14:6) Also, the star or angel placed upon the top of the tree symbolizes the supernatural angelic "star" which led the wise men (magi) from Persia to Bethlehem. Images of cherubim angels were on the mercy seat of the Ark of the Covenant, and also the walls of the Tabernacle and Temples. Angels are metaphorically called "stars" within many passages of Scripture (including Iyob / Job 38:7). 

 

"After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was." (MatisYahu / Matthew 2:9) 

 

This was not a natural conjunction of planets, nor a supernova, but was an angel as a supernatural sign. It rose upwards, moved forwards, and then completely stopped to hover over the specific house where Yeshua lived. Prior to this, multiple angels also appeared in the sky to the shepherds, sung a song of praise about Yeshua, before the shepherds left to find and worship Him. (Luke 2:13-15)

Many people erroneously believe that it is "pagan" to celebrate a person's birth, and to bring gifts. But this is 100% biblical, for the holy angels sang, and the humble shepherds and wise men all celebrated His birth. Yeshua was brought multiple gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh. It is not a coincidence that all these lights were in the sky overhead, for YaHWeH is the "Father of lights" (Yakob / James 1:17), and this was Hanukkah, the Festival of Light.

Yeshua observed the sacred Festival of Hanukkah, and was present in the Temple in Jerusalem while it was being celebrated.   “At that time the Feast of Dedication took place in Jerusalem; it was winter, and Jesus [Yeshua / Iesous] was walking in the temple in the porch of Solomon.” (Yochanan / John 10:22-23) It was during this Festival of Hanukkah (also called “Dedication”) that Yeshua made one of the clearest assertions of His deity described in the Bible, saying, “I and My Father are one”, within verse 30. Shortly before the festival of light began, He also said, “I AM the Light of the world”. (Yochanan / John 8:20) 

Yeshua is connected to 8 major events during 8 holy festivals. Also, the gematria (numerical value) of His name in Koine Greek as "Iesous" is 888. 8 is the sacred biblical number which represents renewal and also eternal life. The number 8 is also the symbol for infinity within other philosophies. Yeshua did multiple holy things on sacred days. He was born on the feast of Hanukkah. He was crucified on the feast of Passover (Pesach). He was in the earth on the weekly sabbath and the feast of Unleavened Bread (haMatzot). He rose from the dead on the feast of Firstfruits (haBikkurim). Yeshua prayed to the Father to pour out Ruach haKodesh (the Holy Spirit) upon 120 believers within the upper room in Jerusalem, Israel, during the feast of Weeks (Shavuot), on the 50th day, also called “Pentecost”.    He will very likely return to Earth on the feast of Trumpets (Teruah), for the angels will blow seven trumpets in a series, and He will return at the last (7th) trumpet. Likewise, the biblical prophecies state (within YeshaYahu / Isaiah 52:15) that "He will sprinkle many nations" with blood, which sounds like the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur ). Lastly, the prophecies (within ZechariYah / Zechariah 14:16) foretell the time when all nations will worship the King on the feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot). Everything in His life had meaning, purpose and divine timing. It was not a mere coincidence but was Divine Providence. It is the perfect will of YaHWeH, that Yeshua was born shortly after the Winter Solstice, and was non-coincidentally the darkest time of the year. Yeshua fulfilled the prophecy of YeshaYah / Isaiah 9:2: "The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned." (MatisYahu / Matthew 4:16)   The Hanukkah menorah is called a hanukkiah, which has nine branches instead of the seven found on the Temple Menorah.  The ninth branch is very special because It holds the servant candle, or shamash in Hebrew, which is used to light the other eight candles.  The shamash candle reminds us that Yeshua came not only as the Light of God (Elohim), our Messiah and Savior, but that He came to serve us:     “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”  (Markos / Mark 10:45)     "In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it...That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world." (Yochanan / John 1:4,9)   As we take a closer look at this ninth candle, it will help us to deepen our understanding and appreciation for who Yeshua is and what He has done for us.    It is not a coincidence that our heavenly Father YaHWeH sent His only begotten Son, Yeshua to be born as a human being on the exact day when the festival of Hanukkah occurred on 25 Kislev 3757 (of the Hebrew lunar-solar biblical calendar), and overlapped December 25 (of the solar Julian Roman calendar) in 5 B.C. The number 25 is sacred within biblical numerology. It is composed of 20 (meaning redemption) and five (grace) or grace multiplied (5 x 5). The number 25 represents "grace upon grace".    https://www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numbers-in-bible/25.html    "And the Word became human, and lived among us (and we ourselves beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten with the Father), full of grace and truth...For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus [Yeshua / Iesous] the Messiah." (Yochanan / John 1:14, 17) "May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord." (2 Kepha / Peter 1:2)   Yeshua was born to die, redeeming us from sin,  so that we who are in darkness may be born-again as the children of YaHWeH the Most High God by the Holy Spirit, and filled with His divine light of eternal life. Light is energy and life. He is the origin, eternal Source and Well-Spring of it. "In Him is light, and there is no darkness at all." (1 Yochanan / John 1:5) Outside of Him is darkness and death, both physically and spiritually. Both Hanukkah and Christmas are festivals of light which point to Yeshua as our Light of the world, who has removed all spiritual division, and united both Hebrew Israelites and Gentiles as one by the Holy Spirit. "Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh...that at that time you were without Messiah, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Messiah Jesus [Yeshua / Iesous] you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Messiah, for He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father." (Ephesians 2:11-18) Yeshua our Messiah and Savior is the Reason for the Season. Christmas originated from the time of His birth, when the festival of Hanukkah on 25 Kislev 3757 (of the Hebrew lunar-solar biblical calendar) perfectly synchronized with December 25th 5 B.C. (of the solar Julian calendar). Many Hebrew Israelite and Gentile Messianics-Christians have continued these sacred traditions of the festivals of light in celebration of His birth ever since, for He is our divine Light of salvation who saves us from the darkness of damnation, and is truly worthy of our thanksgiving, praise and worship, to the ultimate glory of YaHWeH, our heavenly Father of lights. HalleluYah!!!  “Behold, the virgin shall be with Child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God [Elohim / Theos] with us.”” (MatisYahu / Matthew 1:23) “The angels sang in the heavens, saying : “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests!”” (Loukas / Luke 2:14) “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” (YeshaYahu / Isaiah 9:6)   “She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus [Yeshua / Iesous] because He will save His people from their sins.” (MatisYahu / Matthew 1:21)

Was The Star Of Bethlehem A HFO (Heavenly Flying Object) Of YaHWeH?

Is it possible that the divinely inspired Old and New Testament Scriptures of the Holy Bible provide numerous historical accounts of angelic beings traveling in HFOs (heavenly flying objects)? There are numerous clues which reveal that the New Jerusalem (Heavenly Paradise YaHWeH Elohim) is a 1,500 mile high, wide, and long transportable City, and Heavenly Craft Theorists allege that these smaller HFOs come and go in accordance with the divine will of haElyon (the Most High). Untold numbers of human beings worldwide claim to have witnessed, encountered and also been (willingly or unwillingly) transported or abducted by good and evil angels, and also fallen angel / human Nephilim hybrids in HFOs for millennia, as seemingly confirmed by the vast collective body of Scriptural, historical, testimonial, scientifical, and archaeological evidences.

There is an interesting parallel between the physical freedom experienced by the Shemite Hebrew-Israelites being supernaturally led out of the enslavement/bondage of Egypt into the liberation of the promised land, and the spiritual freedom experienced by the Eastern wise men being supernaturally led out of the darkness into the glorious dawning light of the Sun/Son of Righteousness, Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah, after He was born as the King of the Jews in Bethlehem. It is through Him as our Mediator that believers gain access to the true Promised Land, the New Jerusalem and the Garden of Eden in the third Heaven above where our Father YaHWeH of lights dwells. [Numbers 24:17 ; Malachi 4:2 ; Matthew 2 chapter 2 ; 2 Peter 1:19 ; Revelation 22:16]

The prophets Moses, Aaron, and the other Israelites saw an unusual supernatural pillar of Smoke which appeared as a Cloud by day, but was illuminated brightly with Fire by night. [Exodus 14:19] It hovered in the air, and went in front of them and led the way out of Egypt, through the Red Sea (which was parted into two separate bodies of water), and then across the wilderness to Sinai where It descended upon the mountaintop with loud thunderings, lightnings, fire, and smoke. 

This "Malak (Messenger)" was Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah as YaHWeH in preincarnate form, who was seen, bowed down to and worshipped numerous times throughout the Hebrew Tanahk (Old Testament) Scriptures, including Genesis 16:7, Genesis 31:11 and 32:22-31 ; Exodus 3:2, Numbers 22:22, etc. YaHWeH Elohim is the Abba (Father), Ben (Son) and Ruach haKodesh (Holy Spirit) as Three distinct Beings in the Godhead unified as one in a singular consciousness, etc. [Matthew 28:19 ; Luke 3:21-22 ; John 15:26 ; 1 John 5:7]

The invisible Father YaHWeH said this to the prophet Moses about His Son, the preincarnate Yeshua (Jesus) who is the visible YaHWeH :

"Behold, I send My Messenger before you to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared. Pay careful attention to Him and obey His voice; do not rebel against Him, for He will not pardon your transgression, for my Name is in Him." (Exodus 23:20-21)

"YaHWeH went ahead of them by day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them on their way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light, that they might go by day and by night. The pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night never left its place in front of the people." (Exodus 13:21-22)

"He spoke to them in a pillar of cloud; they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them." (Psalm 99:7)

"O Elohim, when You went out before Your people, when You passed through the wasteland, Selah." (Psalm 68:7)

A singular atom (the building block of all physical matter) has a unified trinity of electron, proton and neutron particles. Man, in the image and likeness of YaHWeH Elohim is spirit, soul (mind/will/emotions), and body. YaHWeH the Father is spiritual light, and physical light which He created with the spoken Word also is triune, consisting of three main colors, Red, Green and Blue. Untold numbers of trinities (tri-unities) exist all throughout the created natural dimension, which is a reflection and emanation of the Supernatural Creator. As above, so below. Within Genesis chapter 18, He (as the visible YaHWeH) was seen by Abraham, and also conversed, ate and drank with him and others, prior to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The Scriptures clearly reveal that haElyon (the Most High) YaHWeH our heavenly Father of lights is unseen, and that He can ONLY be seen through YaHWeH His Son, Yeshua (Jesus), the visible image of the invisible Elohim. [Exodus 33:20 ; Job 9:11 ; John 1:18 ; John 5:37 ; John 14:9 ; Colossians 1:15 ; 1 Timothy 1:17 ; 1 Timothy 6:16 ; 1 John 4:12]

The Scriptures state for the record that YaHWeH was seen by the Israelites, and since Father YaHWeH is invisible and unable to be seen by humans, it was the preincarnate Yeshua (Jesus) who was the visible YaHWeH whom they saw come down out of the sky in a thick cloud with fire upon the top of Mount Sinai. Is it possible that these are heavenly flying vehicles being described as coming in clouds with fire, smoke and thunderings, with a violent shaking of the ground? Anyone who has witnessed a space rocket or shuttle lifting off to fly into outer space has noticed similar phenomena of fire and smoke with thunderous sounds and a shaking ground.

"YaHWeH said to Moses, "Behold, I will come to you in a thick cloud, so that the people may hear when I speak with you and may also believe in you forever...On the morning of the third day there were thunders and lightnings and a thick cloud on the mountain and a very loud trumpet blast, so that all the people in the camp trembled. Mount Sinai was covered with smoke, because YaHWeH descended upon it in fire. The smoke billowed up from it like smoke from a furnace, and the whole mountain trembled violently...YaHWeH descended upon the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain, and then Moses went up." (Exodus 19:9a, 10-11, 16, 18, 20)

"Do not be afraid, Moses replied. For Elohim has come to test you, so that the fear of Him may be before you, to keep you from sinning. The people stood far off, while Moses drew near to the thick darkness where Elohim was.Then YaHWeH said to Moses, "Tell the Israelites this: 'You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven." (Exodus 20:20-22)

"To the Israelites the glory of YaHWeH looked like a consuming fire on top of the mountain." (Exodus 24:17)

"YaHWeH came down in a cloud." (Numbers 11:25)

"YaHWeH appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud hovered over the door of the tabernacle." (Deuteronomy 31:15)

"Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up, and they saw the Elohim of Israel. Beneath His feet was something like a pavement made of sapphire stone, as clear as the sky itself." (Exodus 24:9-10)

What was this vessel which Yeshua (Jesus) in preincarnate form as the visible YaHWeH descended upon the top of Mount Sinai which produced smoke, clouds and fire? It could not have possibly been the Father, for He is invisible and cannot be seen by mortal men. Likewise, the New Jerusalem could not possibly have come down yet, for the heavens and the earth must be purified by divine fire, and the new heavens and earth made, prior to its arrival, according to 1 Peter 1:3-5, Isaiah 65:17, and Revelation 22:1-3. Also, this City is too large for it to have descended upon that mountaintop, for according to Revelation 21:16, it is 1,500 miles in height, width, and length, while Mount Sinai is only 7,497 ft in height, and approximately three miles long from north-east to south-west, and about one mile wide.

This heavenly City travels from location to location, as evidenced by the fact that it will descend in the future to the new earth, after the natural universe is purified by fire. It also is extremely large, as detailed within Revelation 21:16, which says, "The city is laid out as a square, and its length is as great as the width; and he measured the city with the rod, fifteen hundred miles; its length and width and height are equal."

"But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother." (Galatians 4:26)

"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from Elohim..." ( Revelation 22:1-2a)

"So he took me in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and he showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from Elohim, shining with the glory of Elohim. Its radiance was like a most precious jewel, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal." (Revelation 21:10-11)

Are there are similarities between the heavenly New Jerusalem, and the craft which descended upon Mount Sinai? Interestingly, the floor ("pavement") is clear as crystal. The 1,500 mile high/wide/long New Jerusalem will one day descend upon the new earth, after the physical creation has been purified by fire, and the allegedly, the small-scale version occurred over 3,000 years ago, when Yeshua (as the visible YaHWeH) descended upon the top of Mount Sinai (possibly within a smaller heavenly flying object). Could YaHWeH have used a HFO to lead His Shemite Hebrew Israelites out of the darkness of bondage into physical freedom to receive the temporal Old Covenant Law, and enter the promised land?

Thousands of years later, it is believed that He used a HFO again to lead multiple wise men from the East out of the darkness of the bondage of sin (for we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of Elohim) into spiritual freedom, to perceive, believe and receive the true dawn of the Sun of Righteousness, Yeshua (Jesus) the prophesied Messiah, Savior, and King of all kings, who at a later time established the eternal New Covenant in His Blood to set humanity free from sin. [Luke 22:20 ; John 1:29 ; Hebrews 8:13 and 9:15]

Many theologians claim that the "star" which the wise men saw was either a "meteor", "asteroid", "comet", "star nova or supernova outburst", "star constellation", or "planetary conjunction". The potential problem with all of these theories is that it is seemingly impossible for any natural celestial event to both last long and far enough to guide the wise men (who rode on camels and/or donkeys) all the way from the Medo-Persia region of the East over 500 miles westward to Bethlehem in Israel. Also, many say that it does not seem to be astronomically possible for a celestial body or event to rise upwards, move in different directions (including from the East to the West, then Southward), and then completely stop in mid-air and hover perfectly still directly over one specific house in a city, directing them to the precise location and home of Yeshua the Messiah and His family.

It is believed that real stars and constellations cannot possibly move and hover over earthly houses, for a star of gaseous fire would consume and destroy our planet and all life upon it. Angels also appeared beforehand to the shepherds out in the fields tending their sheep, and announced Yeshua's birth in song from the heavens, according to Luke 2:13-15. So therefore, it makes perfect sense that another (angel) could have possibly appeared and led the wise men to His location at a later time. There are numerous Scriptures (including Job 38:7; Isaiah 14:12; Revelation 1:20 & 9:1, etc.) which metaphorically call good and evil angels stars. Likewise, Yeshua the Messiah, and "Malak (Messenger / "Angel") of YaHWeH is called the "Sun of Righteousness" and "Morning Star". [Malachi 4:2 ; 2 Peter 1:19 ; Revelation 22:16]

"Then Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying, This is the prophecy of Balaam son of Beor, the prophecy of a man whose eyes are open, the prophecy of one who hears the words of Elohim, who has knowledge from the Most High, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who bows down with eyes wide open: I see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but not near. A star will rise out of Jacob, and a scepter will arise from Israel..." (Numbers 24:15-17a)

"After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw His star when it rose and have come to worship Him."...Then Herod secretly summoned the wise men and asked them the exact time the star appeared...After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. After coming into the house they saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell to the ground and worshiped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh." (Matthew 2:1-2, 7, 9-11)

Within both the historical and the futuristic prophetic records throughout the Old and New Testament Scriptures, there are numerous examples of spiritual entities traveling in HFOs (Heavenly Flying Objects). For example, King David is believed to have experienced divine deliverance from YaHWeH after praying for protection from and victory against his enemies :

"In my distress I called upon YaHWeH. I cried out to my Elohim. And from His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for help reached His ears. Then the earth shook and quaked; the foundations of the heavens trembled;they were shaken because He burned with anger. Smoke rose from His nostrils,and consuming fire came from His mouth; glowing coals flamed forth.He parted the heavens and came down with dark clouds beneath His feet.He mounted a cherub and flew; He flew on the wings of the wind. He made darkness a canopy around Him, a gathering of water and thick clouds. From the brightness of His presence, coals of fire blazed forth. YaHWeH thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded. He shot His arrows and scattered the foes; He hurled lightning and routed them. The channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were exposed at the rebuke of YaHWeH, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters. He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, for they were too mighty for me. They confronted me in my day of calamity, but YaHWeH was my support. He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me." (2 Samuel 22:7-20 and Psalm 18:6-19)

Could King David have had an understanding that the Cherubim angels fly in heavenly vehicle?

"the weight of the refined gold for the altar of incense; and the plans for the chariot of the gold cherubim that spread their wings and overshadowed the ark of the covenant of YaHWeH." (1 Chronicles 28:18)

The divinely inspired Scriptures are alleged to contain many historic and futuristic prophetic examples of heavenly flying objects in the sky conducting warfare with "arrows" of fire, lightning, and explosions which destroy armies, flatten mountains, etc. Could this be proof, not of mere coincidence, but of Divine Providence? [Psalm 97 ; Isaiah 64:1-3 ; Isaiah 66:15]

Many claim that the sacred texts reveal that Yeshua/Jesus (as the visible YaHWeH) and His holy angelic hosts have been visiting His people on Earth in heavenly vehicles for a wide variety of purposes, and in the future, they shall return to punish the wicked, and establish the Kingdom of Heaven this planet.

"Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the River Chebar, that the heavens were opened and I saw visions of Elohim...Then I looked, and behold, a whirlwind was coming out of the north, a great cloud with raging fire engulfing itself; and brightness was all around it and radiating out of its midst like the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire. Also from within it came the likeness of four living creatures...The fire was bright, and out of the fire went lightning. And the living creatures flew back and forth, in appearance like a flash of lightning. Now as I looked at the living creatures, behold, a wheel was on the earth beside each living creature with its four faces. The appearance of the wheels and their workings was like the color of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. The appearance of their workings was, as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel. When they moved, they went toward any one of four directions; they did not turn aside when they went. As for their rims, they were so high they were awesome; and their rims were full of eyes, all around the four of them. When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, because there the spirit went; and the wheels were lifted together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. When those went, these went; when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. The likeness of the firmament above the heads of the living creatures was like the color of an awesome crystal, stretched out over their heads...And above the firmament over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above it. Also from the appearance of His waist and upward I saw, as it were, the color of amber with the appearance of fire all around within it; and from the appearance of His waist and downward I saw, as it were, the appearance of fire with brightness all around. Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of YaHWeH." (Ezekiel 1:1, 4, 5a, 15-22)

There are numerous interesting clues within this passage of Scripture. Whenever a verse says,"the heavens were opened", and refers to a "whirlwind", it could be possibly contextually detailing a heavenly (inter-dimensional gateway) portal being opened between the New Jerusalem and planet Earth, where divine supernatural events occur. A supernatural vortex is believed to spiral and spin like a whirlwind. These examples are oft-repeated throughout both the Old and New Testament. A heavenly flying object is alleged to generally appear like a "wheel", or a "wheel within a wheel".

The prophets possibly would not have known what an inter-dimensional vehicle/craft was, due to it being too technologically and spiritually advanced for their level of understanding. So therefore, they used archaic terms like, "wheel", "wings of the wind", "fiery horses", "chariot of fire", "flying scroll", etc. It is theorized that these alleged  heavenly craft were piloted by these Cherubim angels, and had rims with windows ("eyes") all around, and these did not turn, but flew through the sky in different directions, landed on the ground, and then flew off again. Also, the ceiling and flooring of this heavenly craft appeared like clear sapphire crystal. This seems to be similar to the clear sapphire "pavement" structure that was described as being seen under the feet of YaHWeH within the alleged craft on Mount Sinai (within Exodus 24:9-10)

"Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard a great rumbling sound behind me; blessed be the glory of YaHWeH in His dwelling place! The sound of the wings of the living creatures brushing against one another and the sound of the wheels beside them, a great rumbling sound. So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away..." (Ezekiel 3:12-14a)

Within this passage, it appears that the prophet Ezekiel was lifted up and taken away (transported) in one of the wheels (heavenly flying objects) which are piloted/flown by the Cherubim angels.

"Then YaHWeH answered Job out of the whirlwind." (Job 38:1)

"What do you see?", asked the angel. I see a flying scroll, I replied, "twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide." (Zechariah 5:2)

According to widespread global reports, it is common for eyewitnesses to claim to have seen HFOs in the form of long rectangular rods, logs or rolls ("scrolls") in the sky, and this has been occurring worldwide for millennia.  The size of the "scroll" within this passage is 10 by 20 cubits. Using the smallest cubit of 18 inches, that would be 15 by 30 feet.

Two of the only people who allegedly have never died are the prophets Hanoch (Enoch) and EliYah, and both of them were taken up by YaHWeH, and never returned to the Earth.

"And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. Elisha saw this and cried out, "My father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!" And Elisha saw him no more..." (2 Kings 2:11-12a)

It may be possible for YaHWeH to preserve and extend the life of the prophet EliYah over a very long period of time to serve His purposes at a much later time. Millennia later, the prophet EliYah is alive and well and has yet a role to play in that end of days scenario.

"Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of YaHWeH." (Malachi 4:5)

"He spent his life in fellowship with Elohim, and then he disappeared, because Elohim took him away." (Genesis 5:24)

"By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because Elohim had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased Elohim." (Hebrews 11:5)

"And it happened after this that his living name was raised up before that Son of Man and to YaHWeH from among those who dwell upon the earth; it was lifted up in a wind chariot and it disappeared from among them. From that day on, I was not counted among them...Thus it happened after this that my spirit passed out of sight and ascended into the heavens... " (1 Enoch 70:1-2 ; 71:1a)

"And I will empower my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth. These two prophets are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Master of all the earth. If anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouths and devours their enemies." (Revelation 11:3-5)

Supernatural clouds are mentioned many times within the Holy Bible. Are they a part of the phenomenon of alleged heavenly flying crafts? These two prophetic witnesses will be killed by the antimessiah after they prophesy for 3 1/2 years during the end-times Great Tribulation period. On the third day, they will be resurrected from the dead (in a similar manner as Yeshua/Jesus the Messiah was), and be transported back to Heaven within a cloud (which many theorize to have an obscured HFO).

"But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from Elohim entered the two witnesses, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell upon those who saw them. And the witnesses heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Come up here." And they went up to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched them." (Revelation 11:11-12)

Forty days after His resurrection from the dead (following His redemptive sacrifice for humanity on the feast of Passover) Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah ascended back into Heaven in a cloud. Of course, this was no ordinary cloud, but possibly one which a HFO (heavenly flying object) was within, as seemingly confirmed by many other passages of Scripture within both testaments of the Holy Bible.

"And when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up; and a cloud received Him out of their sight. They were looking intently into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Yeshua [Jesus], who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven." (Acts 1:9-11)

Could the words "taken up" and "a cloud received Him" be  contextual references to being transported within a HFO? Likewise, the two angels told these Christian believers that the Messiah will come back down to planet Earth in the SAME way. Did He leave here to ascend into Heaven within a heavenly flying object with clouds? If so, could it be possible that He will also return in a HFO with clouds and the angelic armies of Heaven as foretold by many of the prophets?

The evil fallen beneha'elohim angels are widely claimed to be written about within numerous passages of Scripture, including Genesis chapter 6, Numbers 13, the books of 1 Enoch and Jasher (both of which are repeatedly quoted throughout other books of the Holy Bible), Jubilees, Watchers, Giants, etc., all seemingly confirm that these wicked entities transport themselves within inter-dimensional flying vehicles, and also have been continually abducting and performing dna-manipulation experiments on humans and animals for their ongoing hybridization project.

YaHWeH warned that there would be enmity between the (Nephilim) offspring of Satan and the (Homo Sapiens human) offspring of the Woman (Chawah / Eve). [Bereshith / Genesis 3:15] Ultimately, it is Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah who supernaturally crushed (defeated) the headship of the kingdom and authority of the evil ancient Serpent, Satan, who bruised His heel, etc. (during the crucifixion). In the future, Messiah will also return from Heaven to Earth with His angelic armies and crush/destroy the satanic globalist dictator antimessiah (1st Beast) and his false prophet (2nd Beast) and their armies in the Valley of Megiddo (according to 2 Thessalonians 2:8; 1 Enoch 1:9 ; Jude 1:14 ; Revelation 19:20).

"A prophecy against Egypt: See, YaHWeH rides on a swift cloud and is coming to Egypt. The idols of Egypt tremble before him, and the hearts of the Egyptians melt with fear." (Isaiah 19:1)

"For behold, YaHWeH will come in fire and His chariots like the whirlwind, to render His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire." (Isaiah 66:15)

"Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him--even those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. So shall it be! Amen." (Revelation 1:7)

"At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory." (Matthew 24:30)

"In my vision in the night I continued to watch: And I saw One like a Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into His presence." (Daniel 7:13)

"And behold! He will come with ten thousands of His holy ones to execute judgement upon all, and to destroy all the ungodly, and to convict all flesh of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him." (1 Enoch 1:9)

"For the Son of Man will come in His Father's glory with His angels, and then He will repay each one according to what he has done." (Matthew 16:27)

"Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied about them: 'Behold, the Master is coming with ten thousands of His holy ones to execute judgment on everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of every ungodly act of wickedness and every harsh word spoken against Him by ungodly sinners." (Jude 1:14-15)

"Let Elohim arise, let His enemies be scattered, And let those who hate Him flee before Him. As smoke is blown away, so You blow them away. As wax melts before the fire, so the wicked are destroyed before Elohim. But the righteous are glad; they rejoice before Elohim and celebrate with joy. Sing to Elohim! Sing praises to His name. Exalt Him who rides on the clouds -- His name is YAH--and rejoice before Him. Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is Elohim in His holy habitation. Elohim provides homes for those who are deserted. He leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious live in a scorched land. O Elohim, when You went out before Your people, when You passed through the desert, Selah...Elohim's chariots are tens of thousands, thousands and thousands; YaHWeH is among them in the sanctuary as He was at Sinai...Sing to Elohim, you kingdoms of the earth; sing praise to YaHWeH, Selah. To Him who rides in the ancient, highest heavens. Look, He thunders with His powerful voice!" (Psalm 68:1-7, 17, 32-33)

The reason for the season in which we celebrate the birth of Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah, is that He came to Earth to become our Savior and give the Holy Spirit who brings perfect peace to those who receive the divine mercy and favor of our heavenly Father YaHWeH of lights who loves us with an everlasting love, and whose mercy endures forever.

"And suddenly there appeared with the angel a great multitude of the heavenly host, praising Elohim and saying: Glory to Elohim in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests!" (Luke 2:13-14)

After He returns from Heaven to Earth with the heavenly angelic armies to punish the wicked and rule for one thousand years, Satan will be loosed from the bottomless pit, and the final battle between Light and darkness will end with the ultimate defeat and conquest of all evil, prior to the old creation being purified and replaced by the new one, and the arrival of the New Jerusalem our Mother from above to dwell with humanity forever, ages without end. HalleluYah!!! 

"And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: Behold, the dwelling place of Elohim is with man, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and Elohim Himself will be with them as their Elohim. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away. And the One seated on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. Then He said, Write this down, for these words are faithful and true." (Revelation 21:1-2)
