I propose that Jesus birth was on the first day of Tabernacles and his circumcision on the eighth day.

 

King David assigned an annual rotation of duty to the temple priests. (1 Chronicles 24:4) The rotation began on the first of Nisan and each assignment lasted seven days. All the priests served on Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles.

 

Deuteronomy 16:16  Three times in a year doth every one of thy males appear before Yahwey thy God in the place which He doth choose—in the feast of unleavened things, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of booths; and they do not appear before Yahwey empty.

 

John the baptizer was 6 months older than Jesus. John’s father Zacharias was assigned to the eighth division called Abijah. 

Luke 1:5  There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the course of Abijah and his wife is of the daughters of Aaron and her name is Elizabeth. 

1 Chronicles 24:10  for Hakkoz the seventh, for Abijah the eighth... 

 

Since all the priests served on Passover and Pentecost the 8th course would be the 10th week of the year. 

Luke 1:23-24a  And it came to pass, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he went away to his house, and after those days, his wife Elisabeth conceived…

Therefore John was conceived after his father's 7 day tour of duty that ended after the 3rd sabbath in late Sivan and he was born 40 weeks later around Passover Nisan 15th. Jesus said John was the Elijah to come making him the fulfillment of the type as the for-runner to Jesus. 'Jews' today still anticipate his arrival on Pentecost and continue to set out a glass of wine for him on that day.  

Luke 1:17  and he shall go before Him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn hearts of fathers unto children, and disobedient ones to the wisdom of righteous ones, to make ready for the Lord, a people prepared. (he only prepared Jewish people for Jesus)

Luke 1:26-27  And in her sixth month was the messenger Gabriel sent by God to a city of Galilee; the name of which is Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name is Joseph of the house of David and the name of the virgin is Mary. 

Luke 1:31-33  KJV  31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

 

Yashua was conceived and born 6 months after Yahn. Festival of lights is on the 25th of Kislev which is around the time Yashua was conceived. It commemorates the dedication of the second temple. Jesus referred to himself as the temple. 

John 2:19-21  Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?  But he spake of the temple of his body.

 

Tabernacles is 6 months after Passover, which is around the time of Jesus’ birth. Eight days later is the last day of Tabernacles and was probably when Yashua was circumcised. It take 40 weeks to prepare a body for birth which coincides with the 40 years in the wilderness to prepare a corporate body of people prior to entering the typical promised land. From AD 30 - 70 the new covenant body was being remade for the real promised land.

 

Luke 2:10  And the messenger said to them, `Fear not, for lo, I bring you good news of great joy, that shall be to all the people— 

 

Tabernacles is also known as the festival to the nations because all nations are called to participate in this one.

Zechariah 14:16-19 And it hath come to pass, Every one who hath been left of all the nations, Who are coming in against Jerusalem, They have also gone up from year to year, To bow themselves to the King, Yahwey of Hosts, And to celebrate the feast of the booths. And it hath come to pass, That he who doth not go up of the families of the land unto Jerusalem, To bow himself to the King, Yahwey of Hosts, Even on them there is no shower. And if the family of Egypt go not up, nor come in, Then not on them is the plague With which Yahwey doth plague the nations That go not up to celebrate the feast of booths. This is the punishment of the sin of Egypt, And the punishment of the sin of all the nations, That go not up to celebrate the feast of booths.

 

The tabernacles are to be constructed of 4 species of trees alluding to the 4 types of people created prior to the calling and commissioning of Adam. Adam was to proselytize them for the image of God to dwell in. As you recall Adam could not find a wife suitable for himself from any of these people groups because they were still as untamed animals. Peter is commissioned to bring them all in to the new corporate body as part of the new nation of Christ.

Pre-evangelism

Jacob (James) 3:7  For every nature of wild beasts, reptiles, birds and (those) from the sea, is being tamed and has been tamed to the nature of the human. (This is Jacob son of Joseph writing to the twelve tribes who were doing a God job of pre-evangelism.)

Evangelism-God did give the Gentiles who believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ the same gift as He gave to the Jews on Pentecost

Act 11  And the apostles and the brethren who are in Judea heard that also the nations did receive the word of God, 2 and when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision were contending with him, 3 saying—`Unto men uncircumcised thou didst go in, and didst eat with them!' 4 And Peter having begun, did expound to them in order saying, 5 `I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw in a trance a vision, a certain vessel coming down, as a great sheet by four corners being let down out of the heaven, and it came unto me; 6 at which having looked stedfastly, I was considering, and I saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of heaven; 7 and I heard a voice saying to me, Having risen, Peter, slay and eat; 8 and I said, Not so, Lord; because anything common or unclean hath at no time entered into my mouth; 9 and a voice did answer me a second time out of the heaven, What God did cleanse, thou—declare not thou common. 10 `And this happened thrice, and again was all drawn up to the heaven, 11 and, lo, immediately, three men stood at the house in which I was, having been sent from Caesarea unto me, 12 and the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing doubting, and these six brethren also went with me, and we did enter into the house of the man, 13 he declared also to us how he saw the messenger in his house standing, and saying to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter, 14 who shall speak sayings by which thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house. 15 `And in my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit did fall upon them, even as also upon us in the beginning, 16 and I remembered the saying of the Lord, how he said, John indeed did baptize with water, and ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit; 17 if then the equal gift God did give to them as also to us, having believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, I—how was I able to withstand God?' 18 And they, having heard these things, were silent, and were glorifying God, saying, `Then, indeed, also to the nations did God give the reformation to life.' 

 

If these types do line up with their fulfillment, then Yahweh gave the Jew/Gentile church body to His Son Yashua on the same day His mother Mary gave birth to His tabernacle, which was the first day of the last feast; the day God arrives to tabernacle with us. Then on the 8th day of Tabernacles Yashua took his people to the home he had previously prepared for them. Not a home made by hands. The church home is the image making city of God, which is also called the bride of Christ, which now extends from heaven to earth. 

2 Corinthians 5:1 CLV  For we are aware that, if our terrestrial tabernacle house should be demolished, we have a building of God, a house not made by hands, eonian, in the heavens."

Mary Magdalene is the representative 'Eve' whom Yashua rescued from the fall. She is the first to see the empty tomb and the first person Yashua appears to after His resurrection. She is found crying because she thinks someone moved His body. Just as Eve fell for a false elohim, Mary was completely held captive by the false elohim before Jesus cast out her seven demons. Yashua did not fall with Mary as Adam did with Eve. As last Adam, Yashua defeated the devil and cleansed Mary from seven unclean spirits who served the adversary. At His resurection, Yashua tells Mary not to cling to Him until He returns to the Father. She later recieved the Holy Spirit He sent, along with the others at Pentecost. The new mother of all the living is now the City of God. Yashua came to rescue Adam's bride from the fall, but He did not come to save just a singular Eve and start over. He came to rescue all the old covenant people of faith from Adam's side.

1 John 3:8b CLV  For this was the Son of God manifested, that He should be annulling the acts of the Adversary.

We can now see that an unusual astronomical event did occur beginning on December 25th 2 BC when Jesus was about 15 months old. If this is the so called star of Bethlehem then it was the planet Jupiter; a planet also known to represent the messiah. It stood still over Bethlehem in the middle of the constellation Virgo for six days. This is also the time of year when the days stop getting shorter and the sun is 'reborn'. It is a time of renewed hope.

Matthew 2:10-11

 

The only way God's people can be in a fallen covenant now is if Yashua falls, which is not at all possible. He died in the first covenant to conquer the death of the fall. He never fell.
