The announcement of Jesus’ birth by the heavenly host is one of the most beautiful moments recorded in Scripture. As the angel appeared to the shepherds, and as the sky filled with a multitude from heaven, their message centered on peace, joy, and God dwelling among His people. These themes strongly connect to the Fall Feasts particularly the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles offering a rich biblical context for understanding the season of Jesus’ birth.

The birth of Jesus carries deep prophetic meaning, and one of the most powerful Scriptural clues about the timing of His birth is found in the statement that the Word “dwelt” among us. John’s Gospel does not simply say Jesus lived among humanity but uses a very specific term that connects directly to the Feast of Tabernacles, a joyful fall festival that celebrated God dwelling with His people.

Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.

²And though they say, The Lord liveth; surely they swear falsely.

³O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.

WHERE DID MORAL RULES COME FROM

For Adam and Eve to live as full human beings, they would need to obey God. That would require moral limitations, boundaries that they would carefully observe and not trespass, as a sign of obedience. God applied one restriction on their use of creation- one tree whose fruit they could not eat. It was that same tree, of course, that provided the proverbial apple that has gone down in history-the agonizing first taste of human sinfulness.

Many people are troubled by Old Testament images of God as an angry, vengeful deity. Nahum 1:2 (NIV) says, “The LORD takes vengeance and is filled with wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on his foes and vents his wrath against his enemies.” Some people wonder if God evolved from a God of wrath into a God of love. No, He says, “I am the LORD, I change not” (Malachi 3:6 kjv).
