WAS HE BORN IN DECEMBER 25TH?
WAS HE BORN
IN DECEMBER 25TH?
IT IS A COMMON BELIEF OF THE PEOPLE,
OF THIS AGE, THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, WAS BORN IN DECEMBER 25TH.
THIS CONCLUSION WAS MADE, WITHOUT
RECOURSE TO ANY BIBLICAL, OR HISTORICAL FACTS. BASICALLY SPEAKING, THE BIRTH OF
OUR LORD, AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST, BEARS NEITHER DIRECT, NOR INDIRECT
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SO CALLED DECEMBER 25TH MEMORIAL. IN THIS
CASE, FACT IS CRUCIAL, AND VITAL.
WAS HE ACTUALLY BORN
IN DECEMBER 25TH?
A.
THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD! “For whatever things were
written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and
comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.” ROM 15:4. “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,.” 1TIM
3:16. “..Knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private
interpretation,” 2PETER 1:20-21. WHETHER THE FACTS OF THE DECEMBER
BIRTH WAS RELEASED BY GOD, FOR OUR UNDERSTANDING, AND FOR OUR COMFORT BY THE
HOLY SCRIPTURES. THE ANSWER IS “NO!” IT IS VERY SERIOUS, THEREFORE, IF WE
CELEBRATE A BIRTHDAY, THE BIRTHDATE OF WHICH WE HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE! CAN A
NATURAL MAN MAKE A SPIRITUAL LAW FOR GOD? GOD SAYS “These people draw
near to me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is
far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the
commandments of men.” MATT. 15:8-9.
B.
CAN A NATURAL MAN, GO BEYOUND THE
BIBLE, THE WORD OF GOD? THE ANSWER IS NO! “And
whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving
thanks to God the Father through Him.” COL. 3:17. “Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed
Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. JOHN 8:31. But even if we, or an angel from heaven,
preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be
accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any
other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.” GAL 1:8,9. “For I testify
to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to
these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;
and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall
take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the
things which are written in this book.” REV. 22:18-19.

BIBLICAL EVIDENCES AGAINST DECEMBER
25TH.
1.
READ LUKE 1:26,27 “Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel
was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth to a virgin betrothed to a
man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was
Mary…" VERSE 31. “And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring
forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS.” THE IMPOTANCE OF THIS
VERSE IS THAT BY THE SEVENTH MONTH, JESUS WOULD HAVE BECOME ONE MONTH OLD, IN
THE BELLY OF HIS MOTHER, MARY.
USING OUR CALENDAR, NINE MONTHS AFTERWARDS, JESUS WOULD HAVE
BEEN BORN IN THE MONTH OF MARCH.
USING THE CALENDAR OF THE JEWS: THE ANGEL VISITED IN THE
SIXTH MONTH OF ELUL. WHICH CORRESPOND TO OUR LATE AUGUST, AND PART OF EARLY
SEPTEMBER. THEN NINE MONTH AFTERWARDS WILL MEAN THAT JESUS WAS PROBABLY BORN IN
THE SIVAN, THE THIRD MONTH OF THE OTHER YEAR. AND THIS CORRESPOND TO PART OF
OUR LATE MAY, AND PART OF EARLY JUNE.
2. THE SECOND EVIDENCE IS IN THE RECORD OF LUKE CHAPTER TWO. “And it came to pass in those days that a
decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be
registered.” LUKE 2:1. IF CAESAR AUGUSTUS WANTS THE WHOLE WORLD OF THE MIDDLE EAST TO
BE COUNTED, WIL IT SENSIBLE FOR HIM TO HAVE MADE SUCH DECREE DURING THE MONTH
OF TEVET, KNOWING EVIDENTLY THAT IT WILL BE A SEASON OF WINTER?
3. THIRDLY, THE AVAILABLE SEASONAL RECORD OF THE MIDDLE EASTERN REGION SHOWS THE LOW OF -1⁰c., DURING THE WINTER
MONTH OF DECEMBER, WHICH CORRESPONDS TO THEIR NINETH MONTH, WHICH THEY CALLED
KISLEV. READ EZRA 10:9, “So all
the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered at Jerusalem within three days. It was
the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month; and all the people sat in the
open square of the house of God, trembling because of this matter and because
of heavy rain.” ALSO READ JEREMIAH 36:22 “Now the king was sitting in the winter
house in the ninth month, with a fire burning on the hearth before him.”
IF CHRIST WAS BORN IN THE MONTH OF KISLEV, OUR OWN DECEMBER,
THEN HOW CAN WE EXPLAIN THE FACTS IN THE RECORD OF LUKE 2:8 “Now there were in the same country
shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.” DEFINITELY, NOT IN THE WINTER MONTH OF DECEMBER.
4. IF GOD DID NOT REVEAL TO US THE BIRTHDATE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, COULD
WE HAVE KNOWN IT? IT IS NOT POSSIBLE.
THE WISDOM OF MAN CANNOT SEACH A MATTER WHICH IS DIVILY
CONCEALED. READ DEUT. 29:29 “The
secret things belong to the LORD our God, but those things which are revealed
belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this
law.”
5. THE HISTORICAL FACTS RECORDED IT THAT IT WAS IN THE YEAR 345AD, THAT A
BISHOP OF ROME MADE A DECREE THAT DECEMBER 25TH BE, THE BIRTHDATE OF
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. PREVIOUSLY, THE DAY, DECEMBER 25TH HAD BEEN
USED FOR THE CELEBRATION/ AND FEASTING FOR THE SUN GODS OF MITHRA AND
SATURNALIA. THESE ARE PAGAN FESTIVALS. HENCE, YOU HEAR OF YULETIDE SEASON,
CHRISTMAS TREE, CHRISTMAS LIGHTS, CHRISTMAS COLOURS, FATHER CHRISTMAS, BISCO,
KNOCK-OUTS. ALL THESE THINGS STANDS TODAY TO REMIND US ABOUT THE RELICS OF
ANCIENT PAGAN WORSHIPS.
6. BEWARE OF IDOLATRY!!!!
WHAT TO DO, TO REMEMBER CHRIST, ACCORDING TO DIVINE
REVELATION, IN THE BIBLE, THE WORD OF GOD. READ LUKE 22:19 “And He took bread, gave thanks and broke
it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you;
do this in remembrance of Me.”
“In the same
manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new
covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.
For
as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's
death till He comes.” 1COR., 11:25-26.
7. WHY DO WE FIND OURSELVES IN THIS SITUATION? READ 1TIM. 4:1 “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart
from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons” “But
evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being
deceived.” 2TIM 3:13. THEREFORE, REVELATION
22:11-13 SAYS: “He who is unjust,
let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is
righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.
And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one
according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,
the First and the Last.”
LASTLY, 2PETER 3:17 “You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest
you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the
wicked”
