If Jesus Christ wasn't born on Dec. 25, does the Bible indicate when He was born ... brings us to the end of March as the most likely time for John's birth.
Since Jesus was conceived six months after John the Baptist, and we have established a likely date for John's birth, we need only move six months farther down the Jewish calender to arrive at a likely date for the birth of Jesus. From the 15th day of the 1st month, Nisan, we go to the 15th day of the 7th month, Tishri. And what do we find on that date? It is the festival of Tabernacles! The 15th day of Tishri begins the third and last festival of the year to which all the men of Israel were to gather in Jerusalem for Temple services. (Lev 23:34)
So, if you have followed the above reasoning, based on the scriptural evidence, a case can apparently be made that Jesus Christ was born on the 15th day of the month of Tishri, on the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles, which corresponds to the September - October timeframe of our present calendar!

this might properly be a music. The calendar this is in use in the present day signifying Dec. 25 become no longer even in existence on the time of the beginning of Jesus... it incredibly is a date assigned and the historic previous of it incredibly is incredibly lots properly-known and become chosen to assist the pagans make a celebratory transition extra in basic terms. that doesn't negate the actuality of Jesus' beginning in Bethlehem. And it become the palm tree no longer the pine tree that become the 'first Christmas tree' from that attitude.... practising a sprint compassionate forgiving is effectual whilst in a celebratory mode.... Christmas nonetheless has Christ in it no count number how the 'seem' of it has replaced with the passing of time. Jesus the Christ become born on His 'beginning' day which we call Christmas and have assigned the day of twenty 5th of Dec.... thank you for the 'well timed' Q :)
