Yeshua (Jesus) Was Born On The Feast Of Trumpets

 

There is sufficient biblical, historical and astronomical evidence to substantiate the claim of Yeshua haMashiach (Iesous Christos / Jesus the Anointed One) being conceived sometime during the 7-day festival of Hanukkah the festival of lights (Kislev 25-Tebet 2, 3760 December 22-29, 2 B.C., which is the true non-pagan origin of the "Christmas" holiday tradition), and born nine months later on the festival of Yom Teruah (Day of Trumpets ), 1 Tishri 5789 (September 11, 3 BC). Revelation 12:1 points to the astronomical alignment visible on September 11, 3 B.C. During this period, the Sun appeared in the constellation Virgo ("the virgin woman [Miriam / Mary]"), with the Moon appearing at her feet, which was an extremely rare celestial alignment.  

"Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars." (Revelation 12:1)

The “Star of Bethlehem,” described in Matthew 2, was an angel (for angels are metaphorically called "stars" in multiple Scriptures) which rose upwards, and then moved through the sky until it completely stopped to hover directly over the house where Christ was located. 

"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." (Matthew 2:9)

There was also a conjunction of the planet Jupiter and star Regulus in the constellation of Leo (Lion) which occurred during this sacred time. This event symbolizes the birth of a king in Jewish tradition, aligning with the prophecy of a Messiah born in David’s lineage. Yeshua is the "Lion of the tribe of Judah" (Revelation 5:5)

“And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to distinguish between the day and the night, and let them be signs to mark the festivals and days and years.” (Bereshith / Genesis 1:14)

Some scholars erroneously claim that King Herod died in 4 B.C. However, the lunar eclipse in 4 B.C. was only a partial one after 1 A.M., which was insignificant. Herod died of an intestinal worm infection in 1 B.C., which is factually supported by a full lunar eclipse on 14 Tebet 3760 (January 10, 1 B.C.) mentioned by the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus (Yosef ben Mattityahu). This timeline aligns with Yeshua’s birth  in 5789 (3 B.C.), for the king's cursed and agonizing death (which I believe was a manifestation of wrath and judgment from Yahweh for committing genocide against many young male children) occurred subsequently. Furthermore, the apostle Luke’s brief mention of a Roman census during the rulership of Quirinius fits with this chronology, as localized censuses were historically known to occur in that time frame.

Biblical chronology provides additional support. The book of Luke links Yeshua’s birth to the priestly rotation of Zechariah, father of Yochanan (John) the Baptist. Scholars estimate Zechariah served in the Herodian temple around mid-Tammuz (Sivan), with John’s birth following in late Adar (March). Six months later, Miriam (Mary) conceived Yeshua, placing His birth nine months after that, on 1 Tishri 5789 (September 11, 3 BC) . The alignment with Yom Teruah, also called Rosh Hashanah (Head of the Year), a Jewish festival symbolizing kingship and renewal, makes this a rock solid claim for this being the accurate date the King of the Jews was born. Whenever you hear the shofar on this sacred feast of the new civil year, always remember that this haunting, hair-raising melodic sound is ultimately being blown for His Majesty. 

 

"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.” (Matthew 1:21)

 

 "Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is the Messiah, the Lord." (Luke 2:11)
