THE STAR of BETHLEHEM ALIGNS WITH FALL ASTRONOMY (PT 18: OF JESUS CHRIST BIRTHDAY IS NOT DECEMBER 25TH)

The biblical account of Jesus’ birth is rich with detail, yet it is striking for what it does not include. Nowhere in Scripture do we find imagery of winter conditions surrounding the nativity. There is no mention of cold weather, rain, snow, frozen ground, or sheltering from harsh elements. Instead, every environmental detail recorded in the Gospel narrative points away from winter and toward a milder season, making a December 25th birth inconsistent with the biblical record.

WHY the STABLES WERE FULL in the FALL, NOT, WINTER. (PT 16 OF JESUS CHRIST BIRTHDAY IS NOT DECEMBER 25TH)

The Gospel account of Jesus’ birth includes a simple but revealing detail: there was no room for Joseph and Mary when they arrived in Bethlehem. This shortage of space has often been attributed to winter travel, yet Scripture and historical context point instead to the fall season, when travel, festivals, and agricultural rhythms caused towns and shelters to overflow. Understanding this helps explain why Jesus was born in humble surroundings and why a December 25th birth does not fit the biblical picture.

Jesus “Tabernacled” Among Us: A Strong Connection to the Feast of Tabernacles

12/11/2025UncategorizedChrist, God, God the Father, God the Holy Spirit, jesus, Jesus Christ, joy, joyful, new testament, Old Testament, tabernacleabarkley8

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.

¹Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:

²Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.

³Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

Zechariah’s Priestly Course and Why It Points to a June Service Period

12/08/2025UncategorizedGod, God the Father, God the Son, jesus, Jesus Christ, Old Testamentabarkley8

Understanding the timing of Jesus’ birth begins long before Mary conceived. The story actually starts with Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist. Scripture tells us that Zechariah was a priest “of the course of Abijah” (Luke 1:5), a detail that may seem minor but is actually a key to understanding the seasonal timeline of the births of both John and Jesus. By studying the priestly courses established in the Old Testament, we discover that Zechariah’s service in the Temple took place around June, creating a clear chronological foundation for the biblical nativity timeline.

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.

During Paul’s first missionary journey, he and Barnabas visited the city of Lystra in the province of Lycaonia. After Paul preached the gospel to the people of the city, he healed a crippled man. They were so impressed that they hailed the missionaries as pagan gods who had come down to them “in the likeness of men” (Acts 14:11).
