Christmas With Jesus

My response to the question about Jesus' Creation being Dec 25, not His Birth:

Shalom, Robert, one and all.

Robert, you ask: "...

Has anyone heard that the conception of the Holy Spirit within Mary was December 25th., and Rosh Hashanah[feast of trumpets- in September was his true birth?I have been studying verification of this. The rabbi's believe their messiah will come on feast of trumpets. It makes December 25th. seem right being almost 9 months for childbirth, and the scriptures reinforced ,and explains a reason why Christmas was proclaimed for Jesus Birthday. All the feast days, and Jewish holy days seem to align Jesus's life, in fact the Old Testament tells the life of Jesus. Blessings, Robert"

my response:

Mary conceiving December 25(ish) is deductulated through the study of John the Baptizer, and his father Zacharias's (priest in the 8th order, 'course of Abia'(Luk 1:5)) encounter with Gabriel, more than likely at the Feast of Shavuot/Pentecost (Feast of Counting), when 'selected,' by lottery, to burn the 'Incense,' in the Holy (Not the Holy of Holies). Elizabeth was six months into her pregnancy, per Gabriel to Mary, when Mary accepted her fate of condemnationable (not yet Snatched away by the Groom) pregnancy, punishable by stoning. Mary goes to visit Elizabeth about three months prior to Barley harvest (March(ish)), until JTB was born, and Zachariah regained his voice (scared the people out of their wit's end (a tad of humor)), and named his son, "Yochanan (John)." Mary returns home (Barley Harvest) three months pregnant (just beginning to 'show'), and in all probability gave birth to Jesus on the Night (preceding the day part) of Tishri 15, Sukkot/Tabernacles.

IMO Jesus could not have been born on Rosh Hashanah/Yom Teruah/Feast of Trumpets, for a couple of reasons: 1) Yom Teruah is the heralding of His Second Coming, reserved for Armageddon, as the cleansing/Justification of Israel, Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement, is also reserved for after Armageddon. 2) A forgotten portion of the Feasts of God, the Eighth Day Feast, immediately following the seven days of Sukkot (first days of Life), which few people notice, or study. Perchance (IMO here, with no documented support, other than other opinions), this feast coincides with the Eighth Day after Birth, when the Mark of God is applied to the male child, belonging only to God, Circumcision?

Facing Christmas With No Son to Celebrate With | Articles Studio

To many people Christmas is a sad time of year. This year for me is a sad time as once again I go through the season without my own son. Oh yeah he is alive but is well hidden from me by his mother and has been for eight years. There are tears that are shed in times like this.

Christmas without children seems a waste of time. I was invited to a party but did not want to go. I am upset that the birth of Jesus has become what it has become. I miss my son so much, but never so acutely as on his birthday, at Christmas and on father’s day. In fact, this year I didn’t even go to church on father’s day as it was on a Sunday.

It’s a sad sad time that I feel especially concerned for the hurting and the people who have no one that they can spend the day with. Normally on other subjects I can write five pages but today getting 250 words is a struggle.

On a bright note though. In the year 1999 I spent Christmas with a lady and her three young daughters. We invited Jesus to Christmas and He came and we could all feel his presence at the table as well as the dog and the canary. That was a special event as he turned up. That was at a time before I had spiritual eyes.

Last Sunday I went to a party for the homeless and poor put on by a man that supports them with a meal each day. In the middle of the meal Jesus turned up as well as Mary Magdalene, Mary his mother and the Apostle John and Paul. It made my heart glow with peace as I had a conversation in my spirit with them all. So I did have the Son of God to celebrate with last week. I suppose that’s left this short piece with something bright to end on.
