Bible Study Title: When was Jesus Born? Not at Christmas, but at Tabernacles When was Jesus Born? Jesus was born on the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles, in the fall of the year. To be exact, He was born on Tishri 15, which this year is the eve of September 26th and the day of September 27th, 2007 . This birth date rotates with the Jewish calendar, so that means that next year in, 2008, it will be on a different date on our Gentile calendars. It might be easier to remember to simply say that Jesus' birthday is the first day of the feast of Tabernacles (Booths, Succoth, Ingathering). The Feast of Tabernacles is a 7 day feast where the people move into a temporary dwelling, it is to remind them of how temporary life is, and that we are living in a very temporary existence, God added a special extra 8th day. This is a separate Holy Day, On this 8th day ,Jesus was circumcised. The people enjoyed their time with God so much they have decided to add one more day " and what started out to be 7 days, turned out to be a full 9 days. It was so filled with joy, happiness, fellowship and good times that it was called , "The Season of our Joy" . THEN Now originally --in the Sinai desert--the Israelites commemorated festival events while dwelling in their booths (tents) . Their forefathers dwelt in booths, or tents, while sojourning in the desert. The making of a booth at the feast of Sukkot reminds the Jewish people of their origins. It hasn't been until very recently that the Messianic Jews recognized Yeshua-Jesus in this Holyday. Prophetic Fulfillment of Yeshua's Birth---The Birthday of a King God had provided this special time to be observed for thousands of years in a traditional fashion. But the day finally came when the feast of Tabernacles would be renowned for the birth of the Son of David, Yeshua { Jesus}, and that would take the primacy. That the time is now. WHERE IN THE SCRIPTURES ? First of all, WHERE does it say that Yeshua Jesus was born in the fall of the year? Scriptural proof of the Birth of Jesus on the First day of Tabernacles. "Birth of Yeshua Jesus during Succoth" John the Baptist conceived ... Luke 1:5-25 Jesus conceived .... Luke 1:26-55 Birth of John the Baptist .... Luke 1:56-80 Birth of Jesus (Yeshua) .... Luke 2 Jesus' date of birth....Tishri 15 (First day of Sukkot) Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) celebrated from Tishri 15 to Tishri 22. "The Birth of Yeshua during Sukkot" "If with all your heart ye truly seek Me, ye shall ever surely find Me"Jeremiah 29:13 and we are to "worship God in spirit and in truth "(accuracy) John 4:24 INCARNATION of EMMANUEL ( God-with-us ) A "manger" is a "feeding trough". Most likely a newly-made, unused trough substituted for a crib. This emphasizes the fact that Jesus is the Bread of Life ( John Chapter 6 ), born in Beth' lehem "the house of Bread". "I AM the Living Bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this Bread he shall live forever: and the Bread that I will give is My flesh (incarnate-Immanuel; the flesh-clothed Deity), which I will give (crucifixion-sacrifice-oblation) for the life of the world (salvation to those who ask)." John 6:51 ( John 6:35 , 41, 48, 50, 51, 58 ) AN INTERNATIONAL OBSERVANCE In "Birth of Yeshua", reminds us that Sukkot is a festival when representatives from all the nations come up to Jerusalem to celebrate the feast of Tabernacles during Christ's millennial reign Zechariah 14:16. Because this is a festival of 70 Bulls for 70 nations (see "Season of our Joy") it is considered a global celebration. Song: "Joy to the World" That is why the angels proclaimed to the shepherds on the hill, " I bring you good news of great joy (Simchat Rabba) that will be for all the people" (all nations) Luke 2:10 Song: "Angels From the Realms of Glory" To understand all the deeper meanings behind the passages in Scriptures that we've read and heard for years, is very enlightening. "HAG SAMEYAH".....rejoice "Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with His people...praise the Lord all ye Gentiles; and laud Him, all ye people" Romans 15:10,11 For God's people, Succoth is celebrated with so much joy, that just to say, "The Feast" (Ha'hag) refers to "Succoth". To wish one joy at this season, the true Biblical feast of Jesus' birth, you can have no more than 4 liturgical days of preparation. Perhaps these four days signify the 4,000 years that mankind has waited for "the Seed" promised in the Garden of Eden that would bruise the head of the serpent ( Jesus would victoriously conquer Satan three times ). Genesis 3:15 At the cross Yeshua won spiritual dominion over Satan for all true Believers. At Armageddon, Jesus will vanquish Satan physically. After the Millennial reign of Yeshua and for all time, Satan will be eternally damned. From the most solemn and profound day of the year, Yom Kippur to the beginning of Booths, there is only 4 days. The solemnity and sobriety of Teshuva-Elul and the Days of Awe can not lend itself to the spirit of Booths. One must wait for the proper time. "In the fullness of time "Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain (government) and hill (religion) shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; and all flesh shall see the salvation of God (Yeshua)." Luke 3:4-6 God’s Holy Day, called the Feast of Tabernacles to follow: SUKKOT.....eve of Wednesday September 26th through Thursday October 4th--2007 Hoshana Rabba....Wednesday October 3, -2007............Infilling of the Holy Spirit Shmini Atzerat...
