CHRIST'S ACTUAL BIRTH AND YOUR "MOMENT IN ETERNITY"

       Many express joy during holiday months, like the angels that caroled over the shepherds of Judea.  Others caution with concerns of commercialism or paganism, yet we cannot fully fathom how significant Christ's birth really is until properly calculated and matched with information found in the Bible.
       God instituted precisely-timed festivals that fulfill with divine precision. In His timing, their meaning is revealed to impart faith in His plans for humanity.
      When Jesus' birth is calculated – and compared to scripture – it unfolds a season more glorious than humans can now imagine, and this will be celebrated and cherished throughout eternity.
     Follow these simple steps in unlocking the nativity which centers around annual festivals recorded in the Holy Scriptures:
1) First, understand that all Heaven knew Jesus' birthday when angels announced it in Judea. 1
2) Jesus also knew this date because it was recorded in the Temple records.2
3) He also knew His priesthood legally officiated at age 30 when presenting Himself for baptism.3
4) Jesus' baptism and spiritual anointing (30th birthday) is in AD 27, which is the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar.4  
5) Leviticus sixteen, verse ten requires a sin-bearing goat to be released into the wilderness, and after Jesus' baptism, "immediately the Spirit drove Him out into the wilderness."5  This might appear contradictory, but Jesus, who knew no sin, voluntarily "became sin",  also symbolizing Satan's guilt when raised as the bronze serpent. This He mentioned in John 3:14.
6) That annual "Azazel" atonement is on the 10th day of the Jewish 7th month.6
7) This indicates that Azazel7 was freed on Tishrei 10 during that Hebrew year of 3788,  so subtract 30 years for Jesus birthday: 3788 – 30 = 3758.
8) Now, using a computer calendar converter, we discover that  Jesus' birth of Tishri 10, 3758, changed to the Gregorian-calendar, is actually Monday, SEPTEMBER 29, BC 3.
9) That date means the nativity of Jesus is during the Hebrew Feast of Tabernacles, and it will be celebrated by humanity throughout eternity:

     "And it shall come to pass, [that] everyone that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles."8   

10) )  Because events of Jesus' Passover death fulfilled precisely, the Day of Atonement (Feast of Tabernacles) will also, and perhaps our resurrection – this being our eternal birth.  Furthermore, the nativity of Jesus, Tishri, is the same month Noah's Ark rested on Ararat9 (Hebrew: the curse reversed); and Solomon's temple was similarly dedicated at the Feast of Tabernacles during that seventh  month.10
  *    These events suggest that the Feast of Tabernacles will be eternally celebrated simultaneously honoring Jesus' nativity, our glorification, and the Holy Cities' inauguration. This is when planet Earth is christened as the New Capitol of the universe:

     "And I John saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.  And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, 'Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.'"11 

*         OBEDIENCE WILL BE UNIVERSAL       *
*     It is feasible that the original and uncompensated Eden Lunar Calendar matched that of all the universe and these events were simultaneously observed throughout the cosmos with a Holy-City-Standard of time, synchronized by planetary spin and lunar metronomes.
*     In God's perfect universe where there are no climate changes and time is insignificant, no need exists for designating climatic seasons or measuring the yearly period of elapsed time a planet circles its sun.
*     Because "Holy City Time" cannot be standardized with Earth's varying 365 day years, twelve-month lunar calendars are adjusted periodically to our "12-month solar periods" throughout history.  Changes in calculations from the beginning of a year or month are not accurate in relation to a perpetual week, lunar month, or 12 lunar-month year.
*    Perhaps variables after the "fall" in Eden have unsynchronized Earth from the universe. This does not alter the validity of our festive metronomes. The 7th-day Sabbath-cycle that God, the infinite Master of Time, instituted in Eden12  is still valid today and the LORD required death for its desecration.13
*    God also sustained Israel for 40 years with manna, the bread from Heaven; it never fell on the Sabbath,14 and Jesus said the Sabbath was made for man.15     Documentaries are hosted on YouTube of manna falling in Namba, Angola, Africa. It fell every day except the Sabbath, first during a famine of 1939; even today manna does not fall there on the Sabbath.16
*     Therefore, those who observe the Sabbath that God blessed and sanctified in Eden are correctly observing God's 10–Commandment Law.17

        FACTS CONCERNING THE PASSOVER AND CHRIST'S GREAT SACRIFICE:   
*     An honest evaluation of sacred texts forces one to tersely admit, the scriptural silence on an eternal Passover festival indicates nothing commemorates "Christ our firstfruits" resurrection on Sunday during the Hebrew Firstfruits festival. 18  It was previously typified yearly in the Old Testament.19
* This indicates that any previous significance of Christ's Firstfruits-Sunday resurrection (or Sunday Pentecost) met fulfillment and are therefore "nailed to the cross" at Calvary.20
* Yet Jesus' sacrifice at Calvary will be immortalized by His visible pierce marks:

     "GOD came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of His praise.  And His brightness was as the light; He had horns [flashes coming] out of His hand: and there was the hiding of his power."21 

*   And God's people will worship Him who was pierced:

    "And . . .  they shall look upon Me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for Him. . . ."22

* Therefore, the redeemed will never forget Christ's groans of agony at Calvary:

   "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken Me?" and verse 16 – "[like lions] they pierced My hands and My feet."23  

*     Festivals are scheduled reminders that resound precisely on time as Earth spins and the Moon revolves, marking periods of  worship,  praise and fellowship:
       At each seventh revolution of Earth, "all flesh" enters into rest as God did during the creation week of Eden and the redemption week in Jerusalem.24 The Sabbath day honors the completion of creation and is immortalized in the 10-Commandment law. 25
      Also, there are twelve manner of fruit on the Tree of Life.26 Chapter one of Genesis, verses fourteen through twenty, records the lunar cycle beginning on a Wednesday.  This "dark moon" festival marks Earth's inclusion in God's inseparable universe when our Milky-Way Galaxy and companion universe is more clearly visible.
     The New Moon festival is observed without respect to other holy festivals or another sacred day of the week.   Our inclusion in God's intrinsic  universe  will be celebrated inside the Holy City where the life-extending fruit is eaten every lunar cycle.27 According to the prophet Isaiah, the Sabbath and New Moons are celebrated forever:

     "For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
     "And it shall come to pass, that from one New Moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all  flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD."28 

                IMAGINE YOUR ETERNITY IN PARADISE   
*      God gives us prophetic views into His never–ending future where we experience perfection, peace, and harmony.
*     With divine precision the planets and moons mark time with ceremonial reminders of God's great love and where we have been – where we will never return – the cost of rebellion – and a perpetual utopia.  He gives these prompts so sin never mars the universe again and the gates of the Holy City remain forever open. 
*     There is a special event at the annual Feast of Tabernacles – this is our "Renaissance Festival" where we experience again the scenes of our redemption. We especially cherish this part and it never alters throughout eternity except for the performer.
*     Envision this significant thought: Millions of years have passed you by but finally it is your turn – your moment in eternity. You are the chosen one.
*     Eve first fell to deception and then Adam. In the order of their restoration a saint is yearly called forward to receive this special privilege. Finally your name is called. You were of the last generation – the redeemed who were taken alive to meet the Lord in the air.29   
*     You hear your name echoing through the Crystal Corridors studded with different colored jewels in the Majestic Capitol. Everyone removes their crowns as you slowly advance on golden cobblestones toward the Throne of Glory.
*     You know exactly what to say; it gives honor where honor is due. You also know our Savior's words of reply – you hear them yearly.  Everyone cherishes Jesus' uncondemning response to the memorized question they love hearing and never forget.
*    Without hesitation you stand erect before Jesus in an authoritative manner and point to our Savior's scarred hands. Your voice pierces the silence; innumerable saints listen reverently in awe – this script was inscribed in Zechariah 13:6,  "What are these wounds in Your hands?"
*   Those hands that once washed the feet of Judas and the disciples reach to embrace you and, "then He shall answer, 'Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.'"
*     Jesus continues the scene as portrayed with Simon Peter millions of years before: "If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me."30
*     Remembering their moment in eternity, myriads of weeping "friends" bow simultaneously in humble respect as you respond, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head."31 
*     We never forget these moments yet know we are forgiven, that our understanding of God's love is imperfect, yet we know this love is deeper than death and will be pondered throughout eternity.
    * This same drama repeats at the next Feast of Tabernacles – and forever and ever – and, "affliction shall not rise up the second time."32 

          A PROPHETIC INSIGHT INTO THE UNITY OF HEAVEN'S PERFECTON    
*         "All the treasures of the universe will be open to the study of God's redeemed. Unfettered by mortality, they wing their tireless flight to worlds afar--worlds that thrilled with sorrow at the spectacle of human woe and rang with songs of gladness at the tidings of a ransomed soul.
*     "With unutterable delight the children of earth enter into the joy and the wisdom of unfallen beings. They share the treasures of knowledge and understanding gained through ages upon ages in contemplation of God's handiwork.
*    "With undimmed vision they gaze upon the glory of creation--suns and stars and systems, all in their appointed order circling the throne of Deity.
*     "Upon all things, from the least to the greatest, the Creator's name is written, and in all are the riches of His power displayed."33

     Jesus’ birthday may be accurately calculated using Jewish festivals which fulfill precisely.  Jesus was born during the Feast of Tabernacles which is one of three “memorials” that the Old Testament indicates will be kept throughout eternity when Earth is restored.
