Does it really matter what the actual date would be of the birth of JESUS / YESHUA? What matters is Do you know HIM Jesus, Yeshua, the Chosen Lamb of God, John 17: 24 24 - Father, [as to] those whom thou hast given me, I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me, for thou lovedst me before [the] foundation of [the] world. Yeshua, born in this world... swaddling clothes - these swaddling clothes were actual pieces of cotton used to wrap and bury the dead... Yeshua, chosen to be born (Alpha) and chosen to give up HIS LIFE (Omega) No one killed Yeshua, no one, as HE could have taken HIMSELF off that cross but Yeshua chose to give up HIS VERY LIFE from the very beginning .... before even the foundation of this world. What matters is DO YOU BELIEVE that HE is the ONE who will redeem us from the curse of sin and death (Sin brings death)...? Do you believe that Yeshua was born and rose again from the dead? Matthew 10:33 is written: But everyone who denies me (Jesus - Yeshua) here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven. It also is written: John 14:6 Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. so it does not matter what day ... what matters is DO YOU BELIEVE the TRUTH of what is written? John 1: The Word Becomes Flesh 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.’” 16 And[e] of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son,[f] who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. Jesus’ birth, life, and death were foretold, predicted, and recorded hundreds of years before the historic night in Bethlehem. Here are ten prophecies from the Old Testament, fulfilled in the coming of Jesus: Matthew 5:17 Dont misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose Luke 2: The Boy Jesus Amazes the Scholars 41 His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. 42 And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast. 43 When they had finished the days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and His mother[l] did not know it; 44 but supposing Him to have been in the company, they went a day’s journey, and sought Him among their relatives and acquaintances. 45 So when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him. 46 Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers. 48 So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, “Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously.” 49 And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?” 50 But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them. 1. Jesus will come from the line of Abraham. Prophecy: Genesis 12:3.
