The announcement of the
conception of Jesus
The
Timing
of
the
Annunciation
of
the
Conception
of
Jesus
In Luke 1:26, the New Testament is crystal clear on the exact month when Angel Gabriel announced to
Mary that she was chosen to carry a special Being from from the abode of God. It was on the sixth month
of the Jewish Calendar, a month which is not the same in the Julian, later Gregorian Calendar in which
this writing is based. The ATS Bible Dictionary helps us place the Hebrew sixth month in our Julian
Calendar.
Based
upon
the
standard
nine
months
[gestation]
for
birth,
we
can
accurately
calculate
the
month
of
birth
of
Jesus,
which
is
the
tenth
month
after
the
nine
months
long
pregnancy.
Jesus
could
not
have
been
born
prematurely.
I
stand
behind
that
statement
not
because
I
was
there,
but
based
on
the
requirement
of
a
perfect
lamb
for the sacrifice.
If
the
Julian
was
the
same
as
the
Hebrew
Calendar,
and
Jesus
was
conceived
in
the
sixth
month,
He
would
have
been
delivered,
in
keeping
with
the
annunciation
month,
on
the
sixteenth
(or
fourth)
month
)April)
of
the
pregnancy.
The
sixteenth
month
of
delivery would have been April not December.
But,
the
time
mentioned
in
the
New
Testament
is
Jewish
Calendar.
The
religious
Jewish
calendar
did
not
depart
from
the
custom
of
beginning
the
year
in
Spring
or
the
month
of
Abib
or
Nisan.
As
the
ATS
Bible
Dictionary
defines
it,
end
of
March
towards April, matches the beginning of the Jewish Calendar in the Julian Calendar.
Thus,
the
first
month
of
the
annunciation
falls
on
end
of
March
towards
the
beginning
of
April
in
our
Julian,
Gregorian
Calendar.
Thus,
the
sixth
month
in
the
New
Testament
falls
on
end
of
September
towards
October
in
the
Julian
Calendar
which
was
in
use
at
the
time
of
conception.
After
a
nine
months
long
pregnancy
from
end
of
September
towards
beginning
of
October,
Jesus
was
born
in
end
of
June
towards
beginning
of
July.
So,
arithmetically,
we
look
for
a
birth
of
Jesus
in
late
June
or
early
July, a summer timeline which is very far from December.
What
if
a
month
was
added
to
the
Jewish
religious
calendar
year
when
Jesus
was
conceived?
Still,
December
is
very
the
unlikely
month
of
birth
of
Jesus
because
the
Julian does not follow such practice of month intercalation.
Therefore,
it
is
impossible
that
Jesus
was
born
in
December.
John
the
Baptist
was
born
sixth
month
before
end
of
June
towards
beginning
of
July.
Christmas
is
more
likely to celebrate the birth of John the Baptist.
If
you
are
a
believer
and
you
absolutely
love
Christmas
time,
would
you
still
keep
Christmas
as
a
celebration
of
the
birth
of
Jesus
or
would
you
dismiss
the
arithmetical
or mathematical timing of His birth that proves that Christmas has no biblical basis?

YHOSHUA | JESUS | YESHUA OF NAZARETH
And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men. Mark 7:7 EMTV
Luke 1:26-36 LITV
(26) And in the sixth month, the angel
Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee
named Nazareth,
(27) to a virgin who had been betrothed to
a man whose name was Joseph, of the
house of David; and the virgin's name was
Mary.
(28) And entering, the angel said to her,
Hail, one having received grace! The Lord is
with you. You are blessed among women!
(29) And seeing this, she was disturbed at
his word, and considered what kind of
greeting this might be.
(30) And the angel said to her, Do not fear,
Mary, for you have found favor from God.
(31) And behold! You will conceive in
your womb and bear a Son, and you will
call His name Jesus.
(32) This One will be great and will be
called Son of the Most High. And the
Lord God will give Him the throne of His
father David.
(33) And He will reign over the house of
Jacob to the ages, and of His kingdom
there will be no end.
(34) But Mary said to the angel, How will
this be since I do not know a man?
(35) And answering, the angel said to her,
The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and
the power of the Most High will
overshadow you, and for this reason that
Holy One being born of you will be
called Son of God.
(36) And behold, your kinswoman
Elizabeth! She also conceived a son in
her old age, and this is the sixth month
to her who was called barren;
WHERE CAN WE FIND OUT ALL ABOUT JESUS?
You search the Scriptures, for you think in them you have everlasting life.
And they are the ones witnessing concerning Me. John 5:39 LITV. Luke 24:44
WHAT HAD not BEEN FULFILLED SO FAR about JESUS?
And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David,
and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever,
and of his kingdom there will be no end.
The Disciples did ask Jesus about their expectation of the restoration of the
kingdom by Him, the Messiah,, as it was told to Mary. What is the answer of
Jesus?
(6) They therefore, being come together, asked him saying, Lord, is it at this time that thou restorest the kingdom to Israel? (7) And he
said to them, It is not yours to know times or seasons, which the Father has placed in his own authority; (8) but ye will receive power,
the Holy Spirit having come upon you, and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and to the end of the
earth. Acts 1:6-8 Darby
Did someone teach you that Jesus reigned already in secret, while we are still going on with life?
If that is the case, how did that person know when Jesus has started reigning if, when it comes to the end of the world, nobody knows when but the
Father? Had YHWH god did changed His mind without telling Jesus? Nope.
Surely the Lord Jehovah will do nothing, except he reveal his secret unto his servants the prophets. (Amos 3:7 ASV)
What did the prophets do with the secrets of God? Did they keep them to themselves?
In any case, when the Disciples asked Jesus about the establishment of the kingdom of Israel, Jesus did not tell them it is something we cannot see.
.
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. 1 Corinthians 4:20 Darby
The kingdom of Israel is not the same as the kingdom of God.
Jesus is the one to reign on earth not in Heavens. There was no invisible crowning of Jesus as King. He was
born King of the Jews. The Magi sought the King of the Jews. Jesus was killed for being the King of the Jews.
