This is an excerpt from the blog 'To the Law and to the Testimony - the Calendar of Scripture'. It shows that Christ must have been born on or around Adar 1, Adar being the 12th Hebrew month. 'December 25th' is a lie. To read that blog in full click here.

Scripture indicates that Yeshua was born on or around the first day of the twelfth Hebrew month, Adar (in our 'February').

This can be seen from the fact that he is the ‘Lamb of God’, as prophesied by Abraham and witnessed by John the Baptist:

And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. (Ge 22:8)

The next day John seeth Yeshua coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. (Joh 1:29)

What is meant by the ‘Lamb of God’?

The identification of Yeshua as the 'Lamb of God' references the fact that Yeshua is the lamb that God has chosen for His House, in accordance with Exodus 12:

Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:

And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.

Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:

And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. (Ex 12:3-6)

What is God’s house?

It is represented by his temple. In the days when Christ was sacrificed, it was the temple in Jerusalem, a house of prayer:

And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves. (Mr 11:17)

God’s house is Yeshua's house. We know this because Yeshua ‘fulfilled’ this decree by Darius:

Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.

And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there destroy all kings and people, that shall put to their hand to alter and to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with speed. (Ezr 6:11-12)

When asked for a sign, Yeshua, said

Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. (John 2:18-19)

We also read in Mark:

We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands. (Mr 14:58)

Yeshua must have been hanged on timber (doorposts) from the temple itself. It is yet another verification is that he is the 'only doorway' to reconcilation with God.

“I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” (John 10:9)

The Lamb of God is God’s chosen lamb, for His household

As such he must be ‘taken’ by his household as their lamb on the tenth day of the month, when he is a lamb ‘of the first year’.

Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:

Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:

And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.

And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. (Ex 12:3-7)

When was the ‘lamb selection’ as a ‘lamb of the first year’ fulfilled?

It can only have been when Yeshua was brought into the temple by his parents according to Levitical law (Leviticus 12), and witnessed to be the ‘consolation of Israel’, by two witnesses, Simeon and Anna.

This happened forty days after his birth:

And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses [forty days] were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)

And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord,

A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.

And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Yeshua, to do for him after the custom of the law, Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:

For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against. (Lu 2:22-34)

And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;

And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.

And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth. (Luke 2:36-39)

So, forty days after birth, two witnesses proclaim that Yeshua is the consolation of Israel and identify him to all those looking for redemption.

He is the salvation prepared before the face of all the people, a lamb of the first year, a male child, without blemish.

This must have happened on the 10^th day of the first month, and by deduction, he must have been born on, or at least around, the first day of the twelfth month, Adar.

Christmas is a lie

December 25^th is not the date of Christ’s birth. Repent if you participate in it! No-one who loves and makes a lie will enter into New Jerusalem. (Re 21:7, Re 22:15)

“Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie." (Rev 22:15)

Those who receive not the love of the truth will be damned

"For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." (2 Thess 2:7-12)
