When was the Word made flesh

There is a point in time, a precise date when the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. As free moral agents, we all have the prerogative to observe or esteem one day above another; while another esteems every day alike, but we are to let each be fully convinced in his own mind. Now, he who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it.

In our humble opinion, don’t we think that the day on which the Word, who created the heavens, the earth, the sea and springs of water became flesh and dwelt among us should be a day to be highly esteemed, celebrate, commemorate and perpetuate throughout  all generations?

And also, on the eighth day when He was circumcised and through His circumcision, inducted all those who at that time were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world, to become part and parcel of the commonwealth of Israel and covenants of promise as a day deserved to be highly esteemed, celebrate, commemorate and perpetuate throughout all generations?

Also, on this same eighth day from the day of His birth, God highly exalted Him and gave Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Should not a day like this be one among those one should definitely regard above other days and regard it to the Lord, by celebrating, commemorating, and perpetuating it?

So my question is, why the birth and circumcision of Jesus Christ not being celebrated, commemorated and perpetuated by the masses who profess to know Him? And why the precise date is claimed to be unknown by the masses who profess to know Him but has instead substituted and promulgating a counterfeit date as the date of Christ’s birth? 

I would like us to consider this for a moment, if the rationale for Jesus Christ taking on flesh was prophesied as follows; "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. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this." (Isaiah 9:6).

When the wise men from the East  came to Jerusalem seeking Jesus they asked; "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him" (Matthew 2:2).

During Jesus' trial before Pilate, Pilate asked Him; "Are You the King of the Jews?" Jesus answered him and said, "Are you speaking for yourself about this, or did others tell you this concerning Me?" Then Jesus said to him again; "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here."

Pilate therefore said to Him, "Are You a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice" (John 18:33-37).

I therefore beg to ask the question, if it was prophesied that Jesus Christ would be King from birth even forever and the zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. The wise men from the East acknowledged  Him and worshiped Him as King from birth, He confirmed to Pilate saying; "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world.' Since there is a feast in honor of the King the Lord of hosts who is this feast honoring! And what is the rational or objective of this festival?

It is clearly stated; "And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, on them there will be no rain. If the family of Egypt will not come up and enter in, they shall have no rain; they shall receive the plague with which the LORD strikes the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles" (Zechariah 14:16-18).

As one can clearly see this festival was ordained specifically to worship and honor the King the Lord of hosts a title that was assigned to Jesus Christ from birth and there is an Eighth day associated with this festival which commemorates His circumcision as plainly stated in scriptures stating; "And when eight days were completed for the circumcision of the Child, His name was called JESUS, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb" ( Luke 2:21). 

I tell you, truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now command all men everywhere to repent, the question is will you!
