Is the date of Jesus Christ's birth unknown?

Is the date of Christ’s birth unknown”

The popular teaching with regards to the date of Christ’s birth is that, “no one knows the exact date of Christ's birth.” People even go as far as saying that, if Jesus Christ wanted us to celebrate His birth we would have known just as we know of the date of His death and so we are to celebrate His death and not His birth. Now to those who felt it necessary to celebrate His birth have substituted the pagan festival of Christmas to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ.

But let us be candid with ourselves is it true that the date of Jesus’ birth is unknown? Well let me say from the outset that, if the date of Christ's birth is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose mind the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.

If the date of Christ's birth is unknown as most deceivers are saying it is because they have not accepted Him as who He is, for as it is written; “Now some of them from Jerusalem said, "Is this not He whom they seek to kill?  Look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is truly the Christ? , we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from." Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, "You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know. But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me" (John 7:25-29).

With this being said let us have a chronological examination of the life of Jesus Christ and see whether His date of birth is a secret or unknown as being promulgated or, is it clearly documented and preserved for all to see, so let us examine and inspect the history concerning the life of Jesus Christ

1.                  The prophecy of the prophet Isaiah

The prophet Isaiah prophesied concerning the birth of Jesus Christ saying; “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 and 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 9:6-7).

Before preceding any further please note carefully that, all the things the prophet Isaiah prophesied concerning this Child became effective from the date of His birth and continues from that time forward even forever. Therefore, everything in this prophecy related to Jesus Christ stem from the day He was born and will last forever.
