I.N H.I.M THE S.O C.A.L.L.E.D C.H.R.I.S.T.M.A.S! The exact date of Jesus birth is entirely Unknown, as all authorities acknowledge. Hardly any of the early scholars really believed that Christ was born on December 25. In fact, there were all types of guesses by the men of the fourth and fifth centuries, and almost everyone disagreed with the others. See Smiths Dictionary of Christian Antiquities, Vol. 1,p. 358. But the people just couldnt give up celebrating the season. The truth is, no man K.N.E.W or K.N.O.W.S when Christ was born! The Gospels say nothing as to the day of His birth. This lack of reference is in itself significant. If God had wanted Christians to celebrate His birthday He surely would have told His people W.H.E.N I.T W.A.S! It is quite evident that if God had planned for us to observe and celebrate Christs birthday, He would not have completely hidden the exact D.A.T.E!!! Jesus was not born on December 25th!!! While the scriptures nowhere reveal the exact date of Jesus birth, they do indicate the season of the year. Jesus was born in the autumn. According to Lk. 1:2~26, Mary conceived Jesus in the sixth month of Elizabeths pregnancy with John the Baptist. This means that Jesus was born fifteen months after the angel Gabriel appeared to Elizabeths husband, Zechariah. According to Lk.1:5, Zechariah was a priest of the order of Abijah. Lk. 1:8 states that Gabriel appeared to Zechariah while he was serving as a priest. The order of Abijah served as priests during the second had of the fourth month. Fifteen months later would place the birth of Jesus in the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar. T.H.A.T would BE I.N THE F.A.L.L of THE Y.E.A.R, I.N EITHER L.A.T.E SEPTEMBER or EARLY October!!! Luke 1:5 1:2-26 B.L.E.S.S H.I.S N.A.M.E**!! To be continued..... #HappySunday Bless yo heart
