In this short segment from a recent Virtual House Church episode, I address why I do not believe Yeshua was born during the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) and why I think the Feast of Trumpets is a much better fit according to Scripture.

The best explanation to date!!! ❤
Yeshua was born on the 14th of Nisan like all the sacrificial lambs and was crucified on the 14th of Nisan
"Lies Exposed & Truth Revealed" is a must read for all Christians along with your Bibles
Rob, around the 3:00 mark you say some things, let's look at Luke 2
The Birth of Jesus
2 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register.
4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
21 On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived.

The 1st 4 verses tell us why, right!!
Do we read any where what Joseph did after the shepherds came and went, did he stay or leave?
What does scripture tell us??
Purification After Childbirth
12 The LORD said to Moses, 2 “Say to the Israelites: ‘A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be ceremonially unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during her monthly period. 3 On the eighth day the boy is to be circumcised. 4 Then the woman must wait thirty-three days to be purified from her bleeding. She must not touch anything sacred or go to the sanctuary until the days of her purification are over. 5 If she gives birth to a daughter, for two weeks the woman will be unclean, as during her period.
The New International Version. (2011). (Le 12:1–5). Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan.
A woman on her period;
19 “ ‘When a woman has her regular flow of blood, the impurity of her monthly period will last seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean till evening.
20 “ ‘Anything she lies on during her period will be unclean, and anything she sits on will be unclean. 21 Anyone who touches her bed will be unclean; they must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening. 22 Anyone who touches anything she sits on will be unclean; they must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening. 23 Whether it is the bed or anything she was sitting on, when anyone touches it, they will be unclean till evening.
The New International Version. (2011). (Le 15:19–23). Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan.
I would have to say, Joseph was away from her, what do you think?
Hi Rob, Just a point to make, child birthing!
If it were Sukkot, do you really think they would let a woman in Jerusalem that is ready to give birth??
Also, Bethlehem is only 3 miles from Jerusalem, how much room would it take to hold all those Jews?
Just something to think about!!
But the main thing is we all agree upon here is, it was an Appointed Time!!!!!!!!
And if we keep them, we will not miss out! Halleluyah!!
Hi in lev 23 it says the native born shall dwel in sukkahs. Does that exclude us as grafted in from the sukkah part of the feast
