Jesus was born on Nisan 1, 5 BCE

[slave]

Why Nisan 1?
1. Because it is exactly the same day that God's presence filled the Tent of Meeting (Ex 40:2, Ex 40:34). This event was a shadow that foretold the incarnation of God (John 1:14, the greek word "skenoo" literally means "to tent" ). On the same day that God came to earth to live in a tent, God also came to earth to live in a human body. In the New Testament we can clearly see that the old Jewish feasts are fulfilled in Jesus. Some examples: Jesus was sacrificed on the cross on the same day that the Passover lamb was sacrificed, because he is the true Passover lamb, the 14th of Nisan; and Jesus was resurrected on the same day that the first fruits were celebrated, because he is the first to rise from the dead to eternal life, the 16th of Nisan. So it makes sense that Jesus was born on a special Jewish day.

2. Since Jesus is the true Passover lamb (John 1:29), it makes sense that Jesus was born in the month of Nisan, a spring month, because according to the law the Passover lamb must be 1 year old (Ex 12:5). 1 year before the Passover is the month of Nisan.

3. Nisan 1 is the beginning of the new year (Ex 12:2). Jesus was born on the New Year because he is the beginning of the new creation (2 Cor 5:17).

Side note: Most likely the April Fools' Day has its origin in the birthday of Jesus, since Nisan 1 was also called April 1. The enemies of Christ have turned his birthday into a day of mockery.

Why 5 BCE?
Bible records:
-that Jesus' ministry began when he was baptized at the age of 30 (Luke 3:21-23)
-that Jesus' ministry lasted 3.5 years (Daniel 9:27; 4 Passovers: John 2:13, 5:1, 6:4, 11:55)
-that Jesus was baptized in the 15th year of Tiberius (Luke 3:1)
-that Jesus was born before Herod died (Matt 2:20)

History records:
-that Tiberius 15th year of his reign was 26 CE (his co-princeps began in 12 CE)
-that Herod died 4 BCE

Conclusions:
If the 15th year of Tiberius is 26 CE, then Jesus was 30 years old at that time. If Jesus was 30 years old in 26 CE, then he was born 5 BCE. So the crucifixion of Jesus was 30 CE, since Jesus ministry lasted 3.5 years. And since Jesus was crucified on the 14th of Nisan, he was crucified only 13 days after his birthday, which means he was 34 years and 13 days old when he died.

Christmas is not on December 25. Christmas is on Nisan 1.

New Year is not on January 1. New Year is on Nisan 1.

If you are a true Christian, you should follow the biblical calendar.

You shouldn't follow the catholic-pagan calendar.

September 11th 3BC

The belief that Jesus was born on Tishri 1 is wrong. I have given good reasons why Jesus must have been born on Nisan 1.

And 3 BCE is also wrong, since Herod died 4 BCE.

Herod died in 1bc

Most historians say he died 4 BCE.

John P. Meier’s famous Historical Jesus series, A Marginal Jew:

Quote

 

The attempts by a few historians to prove that Herod the Great died in some other year [than 4 BC] have not met with general acceptance. For example, W. E. Filmer (“The Chronology of the Reign of Herod the Great,” JTS 17 [1966] 283–98) uses contorted arguments in an attempt to establish that Herod died instead in 1 B.C. As Timothy D. Barnes points out very well (“The Date of Herod’s Death”, JTS 19 [1968] 204–9), Filmer’s thesis collides with two major pieces of evidence: (1) Herod’s successors all reckoned their reigns as beginning in 5–4 B.C. (2) The synchronisms with events datable in the wider context of the history of the Roman Empire—synchronisms made possible by Josephus’ narrative of the circumstances attending Herod’s death—make 1 B.C. almost impossible to sustain. Barnes goes on to suggest that perhaps December of 5 B.C. may be a better candidate for the date of Herod’s death than March/April of 4 B.C. As is the case with other alternatives, this innovation has not met with general approval.

The question of Herod’s death is taken up once more in a number of essays in the Chronos, Kairos, Christos volume edited by Verdaman [sic] and Yamauchi. Ernest L. Martin (“The Nativity and Herod’s Death,” 85–92) revives the theory that Herod died in 1 B.C., with Jesus’ birth placed in 3 or 2 B.C. This does not receive support from the other contributors to the volume who address the same issue. Douglas Johnson (“‘And They Went Eight Stades Towards Herodeion,’” 93–99) defends the traditional date of 4 B.C. for Herod’s death, pointing out that Martin has mistranslated a key text concerning Herod’s funeral in Ant. 17.8.3 §199. Harold W. Hoehner (“The Date of the Death of Herod the Great,” 101–11) likewise champions 4 B.C. Paul L. Maier (“The Date of the Nativity and the Chronology of Jesus’ Life,” 113–30) adds still another voice in favor of 4 B.C.... All in all, the scattered attempts to undermine 4 B.C. as the year of Herod’s death must be pronounced a failure (emphasis and bracketed clarification added).

I have studied this. I know it better. I am a slave of God.

How can someone doubt after he has read my reasons?

Have I not explained it enough? Why do you still believe Jesus was born in December or Tishri if I have clearly shown to you that he was born in Nisan 1?

I know it better than you, because I studied it myself. I have read the Bible completely. I am just a slave of God.

Josephus says he died about the time of an eclipse in 1bc

Josephus referred to the lunar eclipse of March 13, 4 BCE.

But let's assume Herod died in 1 BCE and Jesus was born in 3 BCE. Then we have a problem because if Jesus was born in 3 BCE, this means he was 30 years old in 28 CE. If he was 30 in 28 CE, and we add his 3.5 years ministry, this means he was crucified in 32 CE. This can't be because in 32 CE, Nisan 14 was not a Friday. But the Bible says Jesus was crucified on Nisan 14, Friday. The only years where Nisan 14 was a Friday between 30-33 were 30 CE and 33 CE. It's not possible.

Although I have shown that Jesus was born on Nisan 1,

people still don't believe me.

Although I have explained it biblically,

people still say I am wrong.

Instead of following the Biblical calendar,

people still follow the catholic-pagan calendar.

Oh my God, thank you for making me a slave.
