Just curious, doesn't it only make since that Jesus was born in the spring, probably April?

Question

Jesus was the Lamb slain for our sins as it says in bible. Lambs are born in the spring. And if Jesus died for our sins in April (Easter) when he was 33 and a half (roughly), and they went by the Jewish calender then which is 30 days in a month all year which equals 360 days a year. Then you take our calender, what we go by, and apply that you get 5 extra days a year for 33 years which 5 x 33 = 165. That is roughly half a year. Which would mean that He died in April (before he was resurrected anyhow) and was also born in April according to the Jewish calender applied to the calender we go by today.

Those who think He was born in September you can study and find out the Jews counted the 8-9 months of the baby in the belly of the woman as part of their life. So by using Jewish calender without applying it to our calender today you would get Jesus seed planted in Mary in September, still born in April, still died in April = age 33.9 (roughly 331/2)

just interesting, what do you think?

Answer 1

at one point some one did research on it and said, he was born in the Summer or late spring i think. but its cool some times people celebrate there berth days not on there birthdays, even though its only buy a couple of days. it dus not matter when you celebrate it, its that you celebrate it. i don't think Jesus is not mad because we are celebrating is birthday not on is birthday. as long as we celebrate is birthday for the right reasons i think Jesus is happy/pleased.

Answer 2

Actually he would have been born in the fall. This is easily deduced by having a bit more knowledge of scripture than memorizing a few verses about how much "Jesus loves you" in Sunday school. But a clue check out Luke's account of the birth of John the Baptist especially who his father was and what he was doing go read the courses of the priesthood and you can find out just when Zacharias was in the temple to see His vision then the fact that Y'shua was conceived in Elisabeth's 6th month. All of this points to the Fall and to the feast of Sukkot. The fact the Shepard's were in the field that fact that Y'shua was born in a Sukkot. And logically since the Sukkot is a feast the looks forward to the world to come in the Messianic age it would be logical that the King would be born then .. One the first day and circumcised there on the eighth day. So you don't even have to call it Christmas nor make up a new name since there is already a feast in place and we can all celebrate Sukkot together. I mean after all you will be celebrating it in the Kingdom of God (Zech 14) along with the Sabbath and the New moons (Isaiah 66).

Answer 3

According to history Herod I or the Great died in March 4 BC.
So Jesus must have been born before that. He could not have been born in April 4 BC, because Herod I Agrippa, or Herod the Great, died in February 4 BC. The only reasonable date would be September 3 BC. He must have counted from the time the star was seen by the Magie when they were still in the East. I must have taken a few months to travel to Bethlehem. Jesus must have been born in September 3 BC or October at the latest.
November and December to February would be too cold for any shpherds to survive with their sheep in the open. The date was wrongly calculated in the past, because they presumed that if He was 30 years old during His baptism, then He must have been born on 4 BC. If Jesus was born in September or October of 3 BC, that still make Him 30 years of age at His baptism in 27 AD.
But one thing is for sure, He must have been born before the death of Herod Agrippa.

Answer 4

What Month Was Jesus' Born?
The month and day of Jesus' birthday is also unknown. However, we can be fairly certain that it was not DEC-25.

THE SHEPHERDS: Luke 2:8 mentions that shepherds were living in their fields keeping watch over their flocks during the nighttime (and, one would assume, also during the daytime.) This is a good indication that Jesus' birth did not happen in December when the flocks would have already have been moved from the fields to pens. They were only in the fields during the hotter months. There is a remark in the Talmud that flocks were put out to grass in March and brought in during the beginning of November. During the Jewish month of Heshvan (our October/November) the fall rains hit and the animals are penned up. At best, the passage narrows down the birth month to one of 7 months in the late spring, summer, or early fall.
Hilke Dokter 4 offers three indicators from the Bible that Jesus was born during the month of Tishri (September/October).
The month of Jesus birth can be calculated with reference to the conception of John the Baptist: Luke 1:5 says that John's father, Zacharias, was "a member of the Abijah division of the Temple service corps." (Living Bible)
1 Chronicles 24:15 assigned the priests of the Abijah division to begin temple service at the start of the 9th week of the year. But at the end of the week, Pentecost had begun, so he would have remained on duty until the end of the 10th week.
Luke 1:23-24 records that Zacharias returned immediately to his home, and that John was conceived shortly thereafter - probably during the last half of Sivan, the 3rd month in the Jewish calendar.
Allowing for a normal 9 months pregnancy, John would have been born in the springtime.
Luke 1:36 records that the angel came to Mary when John's mother Elizabeth was 6 months pregnant.
Luke 1:31 reports that Mary conceived very shortly after the angel's visit.
Assuming a normal, 9 month pregnancy, Jesus would have been born about 6 months after John - sometime in the fall of the year.

Dont forget Christmas was a way to bring pagans to God and give them something to celebrate. This is of course a very short answer for something that could be hotly debated.

Answer 5

The supposition of Christ's birth being in April makes all the sense in the world, particularly because He Himself announced in revelation (Doctrine and Covenants, Section 20) to those who believe.

Answer 6

You're a bit analytical, but yes, Jesus probably was born in the spring. There is no evidence that he was born December 25th.

Answer 7

No. It would be easier if one took those thoughts about Jesus's birth and put them in the trash can.
While the scriptures do not tell us the exact date of his birth (to my present knowledge), the 12/25 date is close.

Answer 8

No.

Gennesis (begetting) of our Lord on or about 1st Tebeth December 25
Birth of our Lord on or about 15th Tisri September 29, 2 B.C.

Answer 9

It makes sense since the shepherds were in the fields keeping watch of their flocks... The grass in that area of the world in there only in the spring... Jim

Answer 10

This is already an established fact Jesus was born around Easter
