The opening statement in this article couldn't be further from the truth. Anyone who is willing can know the date of our Lord's birth. Start w/Luke. Pay attention to the time of John the Baptists birth (Passover) as well as the time that Mary went to see Elisabeth, furthermore why she went to see Elisabeth. (Chanukah) as this is the time that the Lord was concieved through the Holy spirit. (Chanukah is the festival of lights, as our Lord is the light of the world). Six mo after the birth of J.T.B. we have the birth of Yeshua our Messiah this falls exactly on Tishrei 15 (Feast Of Tabernacles). Keep in mind that the Hebraic callender year is based on a lunar cycle 354 days, with 7 leap years every 19 years. (this is to make up for the lost time. there leap years add an additional 30 days not 1 day as we do.), not a solar cycle of 365. the Lords birth falls between mid sept and mid oct every year. Oen your eyes, the proof is in the puddin.
