The Real Birthday Of Jesus

Christmas is the time of year when people of all religions get together and worship Jesus Christ.
But many get more involved in the traditions of men and don't take the time to seek the truthof the date that Jesus was really born.

Yes Dearly Beloved...
Christmas is the time of year when greedy corporate interests urge you to buy, buy, buy to show your consumer confidence, and then the Christians half heartedly say 'Jesus, the Reason for the Season' and 'Happy Birthday, Jesus'.

Now the merchants who are trying to get you to spend your hard earned money, don't even want you or their employees to even mention the name of Christ! Yet the people flock in to give away their money and it doesn't seem to bother them that Christ has been removed from Christmas as well as in most public places..

How do you suppose that makes Him feel?

There's only one problem. Jesus birthday was NOT Dec. 25. The evidence shows he was born on quite another date. Before we get into this there will be a few who believe that there was no such person. But this is a modern conceit. Ancient Roman Pagans objecting to early Christianity never made this claim. Yet they had access to Roman records and could have proved, for example, that no such person had been crucified under the authority of the Roman governor Pontius Pilate-- IF that had been the case.

Actually, the documentary evidence for the existence of the Rabbi (religious teacher) Jesus is better than that for Livia, the wife of Augustus Caesar-- yet no one doubts that Livia existed. The Christian Bible contains four biographies of Jesus, which are called Gospels. These were written not long after the life of Jesus. The latest written was the Gospel of John. A manuscript fragment has been found dating to around 100 AD. If the latest written Gospel was written before 100 AD, then certainly the earlier ones were written at a time in which many people still lived who knew Jesus.

Probably the best written Gospel is that of Luke. Luke, whose name comes from the Latin name Lucius, would have been considered one of the greatest historians of the ancient world had he written about one of the Caesars instead of about a provincial Jewish religious teacher. Luke may have never actually met Jesus, but he seems to have interviewed many who knew him, probably including his mother Mary. And this is how he happened to preserve the information need to date the birthday of Jesus.


The Bible scholar E. W. Bullinger, author of the Companion Bible (a study Bible with copious notes), discovered the clues. The key to the accurate birth date of Jesus is in the birth of his cousin, John the Baptist. The story goes back to before John's birth, with John's father Zacharias. Zacharias was a temple priest of the 'course of Abia'. There were a number of different 'courses' of priests, and it can be determined at which date the 'course of Abia' was on duty-- at least if can if you are a noted Hebrew scholar like Bullinger. Zacharias had a vision while in the sanctuary that when he got home to his wife, she would conceive a child. This happened as predicted-- otherwise the vision would have been forgotten. When Zacharias's wife Elisabeth was 6 months along, Elisabeth's cousin Mary also got pregnant as a result of a vision. Adding 6 months plus nine months to the date of Zacharias's temple duty, you have a birth date for Jesus on about the 15th of Tishri in the Hebrew calendar, or 29 September in our calendar. This date was remembered as a Christian Church feast, St. Michael and All Angels.

December 25TH was the day of conception. Jesus was born nine months later as is normal.

A proof that the September date rather than the December one is accurate is that it is recorded that there were shepherds in the fields at night with their flocks at the time of Jesus birth. There is no grazing for the flocks in December in Israel-- it was the custom to put the flocks in winter housing in October/November.

Another proof is that Jesus birth is recorded as being at a time when the Roman government was compelling its population to participate in a census, which for many involved a journey to their ancestral hometown. December would have been the worst month for such an activity. The best time would have been autumn, when the weather was just right and the harvest activity was done.

A Sept. 29 birth date would put Jesus under the astrological sign of Glitnir (Libra), the heavenly hall of the God Forseti. The Dec. 25 date would put him under Thrudheim (Capricorn), the heavenly hall of Thor. The personality of Jesus, as recorded in his Gospel biographies, fits more with Forseti than Thor.


The true birthday of Jesus was deliberately forgotten by the Church which bears his name, in favor of co-opting our own sacred feast of Yuletide, as well as other sacred feasts of the winter solstice in other European Pagan traditions. The goal was to stop people celebrating the Pagan feasts by putting in an important Church holiday at the same time-- remember that Christians, even those who were converted to Christianity by force, were required to go to Mass on important Church holidays as well as Sundays.

But the truth is out there-- in the Bible in every Christian home. The sad part is that few seem to even care. They won't put forth the small amount of effort it takes to learn the truth on this as well as the rest of God's Word..


One can't help but wonder what their reaction will be on the Great Judgement Day, when we must all stand before God, one at a time to receive our judgements as well as our rewards..

Will you be ready for that day? Will you proudly say, Father, I thank you for the Leter that you sent me. I appreciate you giving me the wisdom to understand it when I asked. And I am so grateful that you saved me from death!"

Or you be one of those who said, "I didn't really believe it and I just never got around to it". Then there are also those good people who spent their entire lifetime going to "Church" faithfully. the problem is that they did not have a shepherd (Pastor) who could or would feed them. So they remained ignorant of what the Bible really said.

One can't second guess God and what His decision will be on this matter, but it is almost certain that he will be disapointed that no effort was made to obtain the wisdom which He so freely gives to those who seek it.

We ought to take time every 29th of September to wish him a happy birthday.

Isn't it about time that SOMEONE got the date right?

Enjoy your studies! alisicia
