-Please Read this FIRST- On this site we prefer to use the actual
Name of our loving Heavenly Father as it was written in the Word, and thus you will note that we will use the Four Letter “Memorial Name”
of 
- YHVH, which is pronounced as YaHVaH or YaHWaH. In addition we will also use our Heavenly Father’s
attribute/title, which is Elohim rather than “God,” which sadly is the name of a pagan god.
In addition we also love to use the actual and real Name of our beloved Messiah
which is 
- Yahushua for this is our Saviours original Hebrew Name as given to Him at birth in Lukas - Luke 1:31. This was the only Name ever used when He was on
the earth by His family, disciples and His followers OVER THE centuries, even
until today! However, it was changed to a foreign name by the founder of the
new “pagan church of
When was our Blessed Messiah
Really Born?
Beloved, we can tell you with absolute assurance that Yahushua our beloved Messiah was certainly not born on December 25! Thus the question is, “When was our Saviour really born, can we really know the date?” The truth is the Scripture does give us a real answer, thus, YES! But, let me ask you this; “Can we tell you precisely when Messiah will RETURN?” But here again the answer must be NO, but then the Word did tell us this, although, we do know it will be during a certain Feast!
Now to the last question; “Are we to
observe His birthday at all?”
Believe it or not, there are very clear
biblical clues concerning the true date of our Saviour’s birth. However,
it is obvious that the writers of the gospels who we need to remember were
Hebrews, and I do mean all four of them, regardless of the nationality of some,
but all were Jews, but not one of them thought it important to include the
month, for they only spoke of the events
surrounding His birth, or events when he was 12 years of age, when He
answered the learned ones in the Sanctified Place, the Temple, or when He began
His ministry, when He was “about thirty.” There is simply not one
place in Scriptures where the faithful are instructed, or even were given a
slight hint to observe Yahushua’s birthday, or the birthday of any other
famous biblical person, be it Noach - Noah, Avraham - Abraham, Moshe - Moses,
Dovid - David, Daniel, or the Yahushua’s beloved Apostle Shime’on -
called Peter for that matter!
We must remember that HaSatan - Satan is the
great counterfeiter and the arch deceiver,
who will go to any length to deceive and mislead Elohim’s (God’s)
people. Sadly he seems to know the old adage, “a miss is as good as a
mile.” Did you know that the word for “sin” means “to
miss the mark?” Just one tiny slash of a knife across the
“smile” of the Mona Lisa would be enough to destroy the entire
painting, just as only a “little” poison in an otherwise good meal
can kill you. Thus, if people “miss the mark’ in observing purely
pagan customs, with pagan, mystical symbols what it is all about, but call
it “Christian,” and HaSatan is happy and satisfied, for he has
duped the people into committing a great SIN against YHVH Elohim for they
will have “missed the mark” of the pure worship of the Creator
of all things by doing the opposite of what He has commanded, “Learn
NOT the way of the heathen.”
For decades, I have been sharing how HaSatan
has concealed the real truth about the Passover - Pesach with the pagan
substitution of a feast called “Easter,” or “Ishtar,” the name of a
fertility goddess. This is a celebration of fecundity, procreation, and new
life. I knew that eggs and rabbits symbolize fertility, and it certainly has
nothing to do with our loving Messiah’s resurrection! In addition,
Halloween was first an all American pagan children’s event, but now it is
sweeping the world, just like so many other evil Americanisms. It is obvious
that Halloween is blatantly pagan, but is a Harvest celebration of sorts,
featuring corn stalks, squashes and pumpkins, along with all the demonic
symbolism, and obfuscates Elohim’s true harvest festival. Yes beloved, I
am speaking about the “Feast of Tabernacles,” or Sukkot, which
always falls on the 15th.day of the 7th.month of Elohim’s sacred calendar.
“We know that we have come to know Him if we obey His Commands. The man who says, ‘I know Him,’ but does not do what He Commands is a liar, and the truth is not in Him. But if anyone obeys His Word, Elohim’s love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in Him: Whoever claims to live in Him must walk as Yahushua did.” 1 Yochanan – 1 John 2:3-6.
But we should also ask ourselves “what does
Christmas obscure?”
So what is really hiding behind this festival?
What we need to know is that one time there were those who celebrated December
25 for a very different reason, and believe it or not, it was “St.
Michaelmas Day”, claiming it was the day of the annunciation to Mary by the archangel, and therefore was “CONCEPTION
day” the very day that Elohim “became flesh.” Now, was it
- really?
Beloved in Messiah and all other readers, I am
about to present some important clues we are to understand and they must begin
with the miraculous birth of Yochanan - John the Immerser - Baptist, who was
Yahushua’s second cousin, and we know him to be the “voice in
the wilderness” who was to announce the coming of the Messiah. Notice
what the Scriptures states about this great event:
“In the time of Herod king of Judea
there was a priest named Zecharyah – Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abiyah; his
wife Elishaba -
Zecharyah – Zacharias served during the
“priestly division of Abiyah” or the eighth of the priestly
courses, which is their assigned times of duties in the
We need to remember that these courses served together at the three great feasts. The dates for the twice-yearly ministrations of Abiyah fall from 12 to the 18 Kislev (covering most of our December), and from the 12th.to the 18th.of Sivan, being our June 13 to the 19. Therefore, the announcement about the CONCEPTION OF JOHN occurred somewhere between our June 13 to 19 in 5 BC!
Zecharyah – Zacharias' ministry division
course would have ended on the Sabbath, or our June 20, which would have been a
Sabbath. Therefore, he could not have journeyed to his home on that day, but
would have left on the 21st, the first day, our Sunday. He lived “in the
hill country of
Amazingly in the United Kingdom, right to this
day in England, The High Church of England, that means the Queen who is the
Churches head (like the Pope is the head of the Roman church), and others
uphold the “Day of John the Baptist Nativity” on June the 24th! But
this is NOT the date of his BIRTH, but the date of his conception!
We all now from the Word that Elishaba -
Elizabeth and Miriam - Mary were first cousins. Therefore, Yochanan - John the
Baptist and Yahushua were second cousins. Thus Yochanan - John was conceived
round the 7th of Nisan, corresponding to our June 23rd or 24th, in 5 BC.
Some six months later, on the first day of the
Jewish month of Tebeth in the year we know as 5 BC, Yahushua was begotten and
then nine months later, when the shepherds were still “abiding in the
fields by night,” Messiah was born in Bethlehem on the first day of
the “Feast of Tabernacles – Sukkot!” on 15 Tishri, 4 BC, or
at least during this feast!
Bullinger's Companion Bible says,
“The fact of the birth of our Lord having been revealed to the shepherds by the
Archangel Michael on the 15th.of Tishri,
corresponding to September 29th, 4 BC, the FIRST DAY OF THE FEAST OF
TABERNACLES, must have been known to believers in the Apostolic age. But the
`mystery of iniquity' which was already working in Paul's day (2 Thessalonians
2:7) quickly enshrouded this and the other great fact of the day of the Lord's
‘begetting’ on the first day of the Jewish month Tebeth, corresponding to December 25,
5 BC, as well as other events connected with His sojourn on earth, in a rising
mist of obscurity in which they have ever since been lost. The earliest
allusion to December 25 as the date for the Nativity is found in the Stromata of Clement of Alexandria,
about the beginning of the Third
Century AD. That ‘Christmas’ was a pagan festival long
before the time of our Lord is beyond doubt. In
With the Babe having been born on the first
day of this seven day Feast, the circumcision of the babe would have taken
place the eighth day, most
likely the last day of the Seven days, but this was the most special day, a
HIGH DAY the “Eighth Day” of the Feast, which is also known as “The
Great Day of the Feast,” which is also mentioned in Yochanan - John
7:37, as this was a most important day for our beloved Master!
“On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise him, He was named Yahushua, the Name the Angel had given Him before He had been conceived. When the time of their purification according to the Law of Moses had been completed, Yoseph - Joseph and Miriam - Mary took Him to Jerusalem to present him to YHVH (as it is written in the Law of YHVH, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to YHVH”), and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of YHVH: ‘a pair of doves or two young pigeons.’” Lukas - Luke 2:21-24.
Yahushua THE Messiah is the central figure of all the annual Feasts and weekly Sabbath of YHVH Elohim, for Yahushua is the Passover Lamb, and He is the “living Bread” depicted by the unleavened bread of the “Days of Unleavened Bread” following the Passover. He is the FIRST of the “firstfruits” depicted by the “Feast of Sabbaths,” or the “Feast of the Firstfruits,” which was celebrated by counting until the 50th.day following the wave sheaf offering during the Days of Unleavened Bread. Yahushua will come again soon as THE “King of kings and Lord of lords,” whose arrival is heralded by the blowing of the great trump of the archangel on the “Feast of Trumpets.” Yahushua gave His Life as an “Atonement” for our sin, as pictured by the “Feast of Yom Kippur” or the “Day of Atonement.”
“Yom” in Hebrew means
“Day” and “Kippur” means “Covering,” thus
this represents, when Yahushua returns on THE DAY of COVERING and
The Feast of Booths, or
“Tabernacles” portrays our total transitory nature; our
impermanence on this earth during our short physical life span. In a shadowy
type it also looks forward to our eventual inheritance of our eternal new
spiritual body, when we inherit “the
Notice this vital Scripture …
“Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the
Read all of chapter 15 of 1st Corinthians for
Shaul of Tarsus -Paul explains how the physical body will decay, but that, in
the resurrection, a new spirit body is given those who are asleep (dead) in
Messiah, or those that remain alive in Him, are changed, in a “twinkling
of an eye.”
Now back to Yochanan - John 7:37 …
“On the last and greatest day of the Feast (of Tabernacles – the Eighth Day), Yahushua stood and said in a loud voice, ‘If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.’ By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Yahushua had not yet been glorified.”
So now beloved we have looked at when our
beloved Saviour was conceived and born. 1. He was conceived on December 25, 4
AD, 2. and He was born on the First day of “Sukkot,” the
“Feast of Tabernacles” on 15 Tishri, 5 AD.
But should we observe birthdays? It is not a
custom amongst
