When Was Jesus Born?
From my Messianic friend Benjamin Andreessen
Some have asked me when was Yeshua born ? Yeshua was born on the 1st day of Sukkot , on Tishrei 15 of 3759. Which would have been September of 3 B.C.E.
We are not commanded to celebrate the birthday of Yeshua , but if one wants to do so , the best time and way to do it is by keeping the Feast of Sukkot. The one who came to Tabernacle amongst us was born in a Sukkah on Sukkot.
Matthew 2:23 has a prophecy that is impossible to find by looking at the English. In order to understand it , one needs to know that Nazareth is named after a Hebrew word found in Isaiah 11:1. That word is Netzer. Nun Tsade Resh.
Isa 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch ( Netzer ) shall grow out of his roots:
Mat 2:23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene. ( Natzrat )
Luk 1:26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, ( Natzrat )
The name for Christians in modern Israel is Notzrim from this same word Nazarenes.
