Feast Of Tabernacles And Christ's birth ?

[Scott Hutchinson]

Could Jesus Christ have been born around the time of the Feast Of Tabernacles ?
If Jesus was crucified on Passover day,could we count six months from that day and arrive at His birthday ?
Does not the harvert -time feast begin on the 15 th day of the 7th month,exactly six months after passover ?
Wasn't the Feast Of Tabernacles on OCT.10 this year ?

Of course this will vary from year to year of course.
I understand that The Feast Of Tabernacles will always occur on the 15th day of the 7th biblical month.

More than likely he was...just am overwhelmed with joy that one day the long awaited savior came...

Something I noticed when studying the time of Jesus' birth that maybe would interest you Brother Scott is that when we count the time that the course of Abia
Luk 1:5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

was to be in the temple we have to remember that the courses were numbered less than
in the first account due to some not coming out of Babylon. David I think is is renumbered them. I cannot remember the exact number but it can put the date off if you are not aware.

Here is some info I found:
There were 24 such courses and that of Abijah was the eighth (1Ch_24:10; 2Ch_8:14). Only four of these courses (Jedaiah, Immer, Pashur, Harim) returned from Babylon, but these four were divided into twenty-four with the old names. Each of these courses did duty for eight days, sabbath to sabbath, twice a year. On sabbaths the whole course did duty. At the feast of tabernacles all twenty-four courses were present.

If I understand correctly the feast of John 7:37 is the feast of Tabernacles,and also of Luke 2:21.

Mary conceived in Elizabeth's six month.
Luk 1:24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Luk 1:25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
Luk 1:26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

Therein lies the key, verse 26. It was in the sixth month (seventh at the latest) when Marry conceived. That would place the birth of Jesus around the third month (fourth at the latest) of the following year. Or, Jesus was most likely conceived during the month of Tishrei (September) and was born in the month of Tammuz (June).

We should remember is that in the Messiah's first advent, He fulfilled all of the Spring festivals and holy days, including Shavuot (aka, Pentecost). It is expected that upon His return He will fulfill the fall festivals and holy days, It is interesting to note that the observance of the feast of Tabernacles will be required by the entire world during the earthly rein of Christ.(Zechariah 14:16-19). The fall is also when the religious new year falls.

Now, we need to overlay, where possible, the time line of the birth of John the Baptist, there being a six month over lap.

The problem with those that try to call themselves messianic Christians is that they still have the same problem of saying jesus was a failed messiah!

Jesus already fulfilled the feast of tabernacles, the entire world is already required to fulfill that feast, (new birth) for salvation!

I fully agree with you - I have a most difficult time saying that, "Jesus was a failed Messiah."

However, I can find no scriptural evidence linking the Feast of Tabernacles with one's salvation. Please provide book, chapter, and verse(s) and study notes (commentary) supporting your theory.

Say huh?

Did God tabernacle with men through the Body of Christ?


Are we, those filled with the Spirit, now the Body of Christ?

Not sure what kinda books you are looking for.
