Jesus was born on this day too

[jledge]

Today at sundown not only marks the 1st day of unleavened bread and the day when Jesus was taken by the guards at Gethsemani to be crucified at the 9th hour after sunrise (making the time of his death about 3:30 PM) but it is also the day of his birth. How do we know?

If we analyse the words of Luke 3:23 we will find that this verse is not vague at all regarding the age of Jesus.

'And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age'

A quick search in Strongs Cocordance will reveal an alternative meaning for the word about. Strongs G5616 (KJV):

1. as it were, (had been), as though, as, like as, like
2. about, nearly
   1. before numerals
   2. before a measure of time

In other words Luke 3:23 confirms that Jesus was about to become 30 years of age or was nearly 30 years of age.

Jesus ministry lasted about 3 1/2 years.
After His baptism in Matt 4 we see Jesus spending FORTY days and nights fasting in the wilderness and being tempted by the devil.
Later, in the same chapter verse 23 we read of Jesus going around Galilee teaching in the synagogues. Later He traveled extensively into other other
areas-verse 25.
Jesus, during His ministry, is seen during another of God's Holy days-the fall festival of Tabernacles - John 7

Jesus is referred to as the firstborn of the saints after His resurrection from the dead unto life-Spiritual life. Just as we are promised that same kind of reward after salvation.

According to Scripture the Ministry of Jesus lasted 2 years only starting Passover AD 26 and ending passover AD 28.

I believe He was born on the first day of Hanukkah and circumcized on the 8th.
The rededication of The Temple and the miracle oil being a type or shadow of His birth. I've read articles regarding male babies about the coagulation properties of its blood. According to the article the level is high at birth and increases significantly to the 8th day after which it drops to levels consistent with normal male and female humans at all ages.

There is so much speculation out there from different scholars and bible sites regarding the year of Jesus birth- 4 BC, 3 BC, etc. And changes in the calendars and historian's references really doesn't clearly define the exact year.
Just reading the different calculations can make your head spin.
The bible does not give precise dates because some scholars believe we should annually commemorate His sacrifice by focusing on His atonement rather than His birth. the early church faithfully remembered and celebrated the Passover representing His death for the remission of our sins.they did not give the same distinction to His birth.

Jesus did celebrate at least 3 Passovers in the Gospel of John.
But is the time frame before the 1st Passover really known? Chapters sometimes can have a time lapse between one another without even mentioning it.

I don't think it is a doctrinal issue as to how long His ministry lasted, it is more about what He accomplished in such a short time-saving the world.

Ok I'm not doing a very good job here but the point of this thread is to show that Luke 3:23 actually says that Jesus was nearly 30 years old when he was baptised. If it can be established that Passover was only a few days or even weeks away from the day of His baptism then Jesus could well have been born on Passover.

The year of his death and resurrection can also be determined from scripture. we know Jesus was resurrected just before sun down on the sabbath. This was after three full days. We know the day he was crucified, i.e. on the first day of unleavened bread. This being so it shouldn't take too much to work out which year this was as the 1st day of unleavened bread will have begun on a Tuesday at Sundown. Crucified at the 6th hour on the Wednesdasy, died at the 9th hour and then 3 days later was risen most probably at the 9th hour on the Saturday before sundown. This will have been around 3:30 pm as sunrises at around 6:30 am in Israel at this time of the year.

So we know the day and the hour all we need now is the year. We can work this out by finding which year the 1st day of unleavened bread began on a Tuesday. This is done by finding out in which year there was a full moon on this day by looking into astranomical data. If we do this then we will find that the year 28AD would fit the bill. If we could determine how long His ministry was for sure then we will know the year He was born. If His ministry was for 2 years exactly then He would have been born in the year 4BC and would have died just after His 32nd birthday assuming of course he was born on passover.

Ok somehow I came to the conclusion Jesus was born at the time he died. i don't know how I came to that. However I know someone who does

Consider this:
How many jubilees are there in Man's history according to Genesis?
Answer: 120 jubilees or 120 sets of 50 years = 6000 years or six days of creation
Thats fairly well understood

But lets go further:
What if I said that the beginning of the 81st jubilee or after 4000 years from Adam marks the birth of Jesus Christ in 3BC. It would make sense wouldn't it?
But how do we know the exact birthday of Jesus? If we were to find that out then surely we will know the exact day of the 6000th year after Adam
There are clues in Scripture which indicate that Jesus was born just before passover as my first post in this thread yet I failed to find out for sure when his birthday was.
This is what I've been shown recently:
What if Jesus was born exactly 40 days before the passover of 3BC?
If we read the torah we will get to find out why 40 days is an important time frame. The first born male child was considered unclean for this time period after birth and the mother is only purified at an offering made by her 40 days after giving birth, ie, 7 days until circumcision another 33 days until purification. Mary travelled to Jerusalem to give an offering 40 days after Jesus was born and it would make perfect sense that this day was in fact the day of Passover even as Luke 2:22 onwards strongly infers.
Now for the Math: 40 days before the Day of Passover in 3BC which was on the 31st March 3 BC is the 19th February 3BC. So now we have Jesus's birthday. So lets put this date to the test.
The following calculations can now be made (and note there needs to have passed another 720 000 days until the end of the 6000 years of creation, thats if we were to apply the 360 day year):

so from 19th Feb 3BC until Jan 1st 1AD there are 1044 days

from 1AD until the end of the 120th jubilee there are 718996 days
this takes us to 6th June 1969, an interesting number dont you think?

then Add 48 solar years or 6 periods of 7 years + 1 period of 6 years or 17280 days to find out the date of the next shemita year. Interesting this takes us to

the 27th September 2016which so happens is the day many forecast the global financial collapse and the collapse of the dollar (we don't have long to wait!)

then Add 1 solar years (7 years) or 360 days to find out the date of the next real jubilee year
this takes us to 22nd September 2017
which just so happens to be the beginning of the jewish new year

Add the final 360 days
we get to 18th September 2018none other than the day of atonement or Yom Kippur
celebrated as the most holiest day of the year within judaism

Surely this marks the end of the final jubillee year in man's history and starts the beginning of the tribulation

Mathew 24:15 'When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand'
