Proof of the date of Christ’s birth
Let us
be openly minded and allow the Holy Spirit to instruct us and let us prove for
ourselves whether the date of Christ’s birth is not clearly stated in
scriptures. The most important clue that one needs to have is to know the
rationale and ultimate objective for the Word who created the heavens, the
earth, the seas and all that are in them to divest Himself of His glory and
taking on the nature of man. So let us begin with the prophecy of the prophet
Isaiah.
1. The prophecy of Isaiah
The
prophet Isaiah prophesying about the coming of Jesus Christ, the Son of Man
wrote: “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).
Please
note carefully that, the ultimate objective of this prophecy had to do with a
Child and a Son on whose shoulder the government would be established and the
increase of His government and peace there will be no end and this all began
from the time of His birth forward and even forever. But what is even more
amazing is the fact that the zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. And so
the birth of Jesus Christ has to do with the kingdom of God which will be
established on this earth and will rule forever commencing with the birth of
Jesus Christ.
2. The angel’s visit to the
shepherds
On
the exact date on which Christ was born we are told that; “There were in the
same country (were Christ was born) shepherds living out in the fields, keeping
watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before
them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly
afraid. Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I
bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is
born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And
this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes,
lying in a manger" (Luke 2:8-12).
And
so I beg to ask the question, how and why should the day of Christ’s birth
which according to the angel, a good tidings of great joy which will be to all
people be concealed or be unknown to people? And in addition to this on that
same day on which Christ was born we are told; “And suddenly there was with the
angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: "Glory to
God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!" (Luke
2:13-14).
So
how and why should a day of good tidings of great joy to all people be
concealed or unknown to those it was intended to serve and instead substituting
this important day with customs and traditions of men which we have been duly
warned saying; “Do not learn the way of the Gentiles; Do not be dismayed at the
signs of heaven, For the Gentiles are dismayed at them.
For
the customs of the peoples are futile; for one cuts a tree from the forest, the
work of the hands of the workman, with the ax. They decorate it with silver and
gold; they fasten it with nails and hammers so that it will not topple. They
are upright, like a palm tree, and they cannot speak; they must be carried, because
they cannot go by themselves. Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do
evil, nor can they do any good" (Jeremiah 10:2-5).
So definitely, if the date of Christ’s birth
is unknown it is due to a deliberate conspiracy with the intent to deceive and
to deprive Jesus Christ of His honor and glory as the King of kings and Lord of
lords.
