Biblical proof of the date of Christ’s birth
I am quite sure that despite of
all what I have written to prove that the Feast of Tabernacles commemorates the
date of Christ’s birth and that the Eighth Day commemorates His circumcision,
the day He received the powerful name of Jesus for which 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, there are still many professing believers who may still doubt the
veracity of what was written as some have asked me to stop deceiving the
people. So here are two more biblical proofs to prove the date of Christ’s
birth.
• The
birth of John Baptist
We are instructed in the
scriptures saying that, "There was in the days of Herod, the king of
Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah. His wife
was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. And they were both righteous
before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord
blameless. But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were
both well advanced in years" (Luke1:5-7).
Now while Zacharias was serving
as priest before God in the order of his division, he was visited by an angel
who said to him "Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard;
and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name
John".
Now because of disbelief
Zacharias said to the angel, "How shall I know this? For I am an old man,
and my wife is well advanced in years." And the angel answered and said to
him, "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and was sent to
speak to you and bring you these glad tidings. But behold, you will be mute and
not able to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not
believe my words which will be fulfilled in their own time" (Luke 1:
13-20)
But as soon as the days of
Zacharias service were completed, he departed to his own house. Now after those
days (of his service) his wife Elizabeth conceived; and she hid herself five
months, saying, "Thus the Lord has dealt with me, in the days when He
looked on me, to take away my reproach among people" (Luke 1:23-25).
Now something happened during the
sixth month pregnancy of Elizabeth, the same angel Gabriel who visited
Zacharias was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin
betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's
name was Mary. And having come in, the angel said to her, "Rejoice, highly
favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!"
Then the angel said to her,
"Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold,
you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name
JESUS." The angel also told her, "Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative
has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for
her who was called barren: For with God nothing will be impossible" (Luke
1:30-37).
Now from the time Mary accepted
the angel's proclamation and said, "Behold the maidservant of the Lord!
Let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her,
she became conceived. Because, it is stated that, "Now Mary arose in those
days and went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah, and entered
the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.
And it happened, when Elizabeth
heard the greeting of Mary that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was
filled with the Holy Spirit. Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said,
"Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! But
why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For,
indeed as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe
leaped in my womb for joy. (Luke 1:38-44.
What is proven in all this is the
fact that John Baptiste was six (6) months older that Jesus Christ, therefore,
if we can find out when Elizabeth became conceived and gave birth to John
Baptist, we simply have to add six months to those dates.
