Jesus' Birth

Jesus' Birth: Most impartial Bible scholars concur that Jesus wasn't born in December. However, is there a way to estimate when He was born? One approach is to examine the 70 Weeks prophecy in the book of Daniel, which foresaw the commencement of Jesus’ ministry over 500 years in advance. By considering key details like the temple's rebuilding date and Jesus' age at the start of His ministry, it's approximated that Jesus was born around September in the year 4 BCE in our modern Gregorian calendar. This aligns with the foretelling of John the Baptist's birth, who was six months older than Jesus. John's birth was disclosed to his elderly parents, Zechariah and Elizabeth, likely during Zechariah's priestly duties around the Feast of Pentecost. Intriguingly, this places Jesus' birth near the Feast of Trumpets, a day symbolizing and emphasizing His second coming.
