Behind the Nativity: A New Perspective on Jesus' Birth
Manage episode 389778970 series 2834475
Imagine a scenario where Jesus was born in the spring, during lambing season, right in Bethlehem, renowned for its sacrificial lambs. We invite you on a journey into this intriguing narrative, a fresh perspective supported by biblical clues and Jewish traditions. Exploring this possibility, we dive into the mystery and symbolism of events that align the holy days of Israel, particularly Shavuot or Pentecost, with critical moments in Jesus' life. Our discourse encompasses the significance of the Hebrew calendar, the role of the moon and stars, and the involvement of the Magi in Jesus' birth story.
Could the date of Jesus' birth mirror the completion of the tabernacle, symbolizing God’s dwelling with us? Our investigation into ancient texts such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, and a censored writing by the early church father, Hippolytus, sheds light on this possibility. We delve into the concept of the month of Nisan, a time associated with new beginnings and fulfillment of prophecies. We also examine the symbolism of the tabernacle, linking it with the nine-month gestation period of a child and the birth of the Messiah.
Adding to the richness of our exploration, Rabbi Jonathan Cahn shares his profound insights in our conversation, highlighting the transformative power of embracing Jesus. Rabbi Cahn's stories of struggle and hope serve as a reminder of Jesus' profound love for us all. Join us, as we unravel the mysteries surrounding Jesus' birth, and trace the connections between his life, the Hebrew calendar, and holy days. Let's embark on this fascinating journey together, in our commitment to finding truth, gaining wisdom, and nurturing our faith.
