Refuting Apocrypha Book of Hanok

The full version of the Book of Enoch is a 15th century text or later that is only found in the Ethiopian “Ge'ez” language. Ge'ez is a Semitic language that is used for liturgy in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, the Ethiopian Catholic Church and in the Ethiopian Jewish congregations.

Fragments in Aramaic, Greek and Latin of the Book of Enoch have been found. It is generally believed by scholars, that the Book of Enoch may have been originally written in Aramaic or Greek and later translated into the Ethiopian Ge’ez language after the 3rd century AD

This book was never included in the Yahudite Canon

There are various portions as mentioned in scriptures for example ‘’ Is this not written in the book of Yasher?’’

2Sa 1:18 and he ordered “The Bow” to be taught to the children of Yehuḏah. See, it is written in the Book of Yashar:

The book of Yasher was never in Hebrew Cannon. Lately many who call on the name of Yahuah and Yahusha have gone into apostasy into looking into these books trying to fit their beliefs from these books into the inspired texts. The following is a quote from book of Yashar which elevates Enoch to be called to rule the angels:

Yashar 3:23 And in some time after, when the kings and princes and the sons of men were speaking to Enoch, and Enoch was teaching them the ways of God, behold an angel of the Lord then called unto Enoch from heaven, and wished to bring him up to heaven to make him reign there over the sons of God, as he had reigned over the sons of men upon earth.

This is apostasy because if anything compared to the inspired text and it doesn’t match up needs to be discarded straight away. Scripture says Yahusha is the head of all principalities and powers not only in this age but in the age to come. If one accepts book of Yashar to be inspired text then he/she has 2 rulers of angels Hanok and Yahusha.

Eph 1:20 which He wrought in the Messiah when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenlies,

Eph 1:21 far above all rule and authority and power and mastery, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

Eph 1:22 And He put all under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all, to the assembly,

Eph 1:23 which is His body, the completeness of Him who fills all in all.

Not only this if one reads verses of the same chapter 3 Enoch is said to be Godlike in appearance as initially he separated himself from the people for 3 days and went up 1 day and then he hid himself for 6 days and appeared to his people 1 day in 7 days and after that once in a month and then once in a year and the people became afraid of him on account of the Godlike (excuse me for the term, I am using it as its written in the book of Yashar in this way) awe of his countenance.

Yashar 3:18 And Enoch did so, but did not entirely secret himself from them, but kept away from the sons of men three days and then went to them for one day.

19 And during the three days that he was in his chamber, he prayed to, and praised the Lord his God, and the day on which he went and appeared to his subjects he taught them the ways of the Lord, and all they asked him about the Lord he told them.

20 And he did in this manner for many years, and he afterward concealed himself for six days, and appeared to his people one day in seven; and after that once in a month, and then once in a year, until all the kings, princes and sons of men sought for him, and desired again to see the face of Enoch, and to hear his word; but they could not, as all the sons of men were greatly afraid of Enoch, and they feared to approach him on account of the Godlike awe that was seated upon his countenance; therefore no man could look at him, fearing he might be punished and die.

We have scripture only recording of Masha’s face shining when he came down from Mount Sinai and Shaul the emissary confirms that if the administering of death in letters, engraved on stones was esteemed so that the children of Yasharal couldn’t steadfastly look at the face of Masha because of the passing esteem of the written Torah, the administering of the Ruach which is the Torah of life is much more. There is no record of any other person apart from Masha whose face shone mentioned in scripture and tied to the ministration of the letter.

Exo 34:29 And it came to be, when Mosheh came down from Mount Sinai, while the two tablets of the Witness were in Mosheh’s hand when he came down from the mountain, that Mosheh did not know that the skin of his face shone since he had spoken with Him.

Exo 34:30 And Aharon and all the children of Yisra’ĕl looked at Mosheh and saw the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him.

2Co 3:6 who also made us competent as servants of a renewed covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit, for the letter kills but the Spirit gives life.

2Co 3:7 But if the administering of death in letters, engraved on stones, was esteemed, so that the children of Yisra’ĕl were unable to look steadily at the face of Mosheh because of the esteem of his face, which was passing away,

2Co 3:8 how much more esteemed shall the administering of the Spirit not be?

The word Canon comes from the Hebrew word Qaneh which means reed (H7070 qaneh) as stated in Ezekiel 40:3 & Ezekiel 42:16

In his writings the Yahudite historian Josephus, states this:

For we have not an innumerable multitude of books among us, disagreeing from and contradicting one another, [as the Greeks have,] but only twenty-two books, which contain the records of all the past times; which are justly believed to be divine; and of them five belong to Moses, which contain his laws and the traditions of the origin of mankind till his death. This interval of time was little short of three thousand years; but as to the time from the death of Moses till the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, who reigned after Xerxes, the prophets, who were after Moses, wrote down what was done in their times in thirteen books. The remaining four books contain hymns to God, and precepts for the conduct of human life. It is true, our history hath been written since Artaxerxes very particularly, but hath not been esteemed of the like authority with the former by our forefathers, because there hath not been an exact succession of prophets since that time; and how firmly we have given credit to these books of our own nation is evident by what we do; for during so many ages as have already passed, no one has been so bold as either to add any thing to them, to take any thing from them, or to make any change in them; but it is become natural to all Jews immediately, and from their very birth, to esteem these books to contain Divine doctrines, and to persist in them, and, if occasion be willingly to die for them.i

He states there were only 22 books which contain the record of all the past times which are justly believed to be divine. Why does he say just 22 books whereas our Protestant bibles have 39 books listed?

In a typical Jewish printing of the Scriptures the arrangement is as follows:

• The Law: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy: 5 books • The Prophets: Joshua, Samuel, Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel- 7 books The 12 books (Hosea to Malachi) included in the prophets as minor prophets • The Writings: Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Song of Songs, Ruth-Judges, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Daniel, Ezra-Nehemiah, Chronicles: 10 books

Hence 5 + 7 + 10 =22

In Protestant Bibles, many of the books are divided—Samuel becomes 1 and 2 Samuel, Chronicles becomes 1 and 2 Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah are separate books, as are Ruth and Judges. This is how it becomes 39 books in our bibles. Here is how:

• The Law: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy: 5 books • The Prophets: Joshua, 1 Samuel & 2 Samuel, 1 Kings & 2 Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah-Lamentations, Ezekiel- 9 books The 12 books (Hosea to Malachi) minor prophets -12 books • The Writings: Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Song of Songs, Ruth, Judges, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, 1 Chronicles & 2 Chronicles: 13 books

5 + 9 + 12 + 13 = 39

Paul quotes from the Greek writer and comedian Menander [Thais 218] – “Don't be deceived! ‘Evil companionships corrupt good morals’." found in 1 Corinthians 15:33. This is a truth that is also found in scripture [Proverbs 13:20 and 22:24-25], but instead of using Hebrew scripture, Paul may have thought the Greeks in the Corinthian Church would understand the message better if he quoted from a pagan Greek writer they may have been familiar with.

Paul quotes from a pagan scientist, philosopher, and poet named Aratus – “'For in him we live, and move, and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also his offspring.'” found in Acts 17:28. This poem was actually used for praise to Zeus, but Paul used it to teach about the true Alahym.

Paul quotes Epimenides, another pagan writer in Titus 1:12: “One of them, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons."

Is this statement about all Cretans biblically true? The current population on the Island of Crete is about 624,000 people, so are we to believe that all 624,000 of these people are always liars, evil beasts and gluttons? It's more likely Paul was using this pagan prophet to make a point.

So, the question we need to ask is should these pagan writer’s be considered "Alahym inspired"? These pagan writers are quoted in the bible by the Apostle Paul, does that mean we should make all the works of these pagan writers inspired? Should we put all their pagan poems, prophecies and writings in the bible? The answer to all these questions is absolutely not. The fact that Yahuah uses the term ‘’Is this not written in the book of Yasher’’ is a test to his people to examine and compare to discard falsehood, while at the same time to disperse those not chosen into confusion so that they don’t arrive at truth. People don’t share this common sense when it comes to the Book of Enoch and other books such as Yasher and Jubilees. Some think that just because the Apostle Jude supposedly quotes Enoch 1:9, then that means the entire Book of Enoch is inspired. If this principle was used with Menande, Artus, and Epimenides, then our bible would be much larger and filled with many pagan teachings that would introduce strange doctrines in the bible.

“Holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him. For there are also many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses,teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain's sake. One of them, a prophet of their own, said, ‘Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons.’ This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, not paying attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.” (Titus 1:9-14)

People who accept this work as equal to biblical truth need to heed the advice of Paul: "...Reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, not paying attention to Jewish fables..."

Quote of Jude:

Jude 1:14-15: "...Behold, Yahuah (name changed) cometh with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly..." KJV

Jude 1:14-15: "... Behold, the Yahuah (name changed) came with ten thousands of his holy ones, to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have ungodly wrought..." ASV

Book of Enoch 1:9: "And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones to execute judgment upon all, and to destroy all the ungodly..." (R.H. Charles translation, 1917)

Book of Enoch 2:1 (1:9) "Behold, he comes with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon them, and destroy the wicked..." (Translated from Ethiopic by Richard Laurence, London, 1883)

Jude states to convince the ungodly whereas book of Enoch says to destroy the wicked

Two different meanings altogether

Did Yahusha quote from the book of Enoch?

But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life." (John 4:14 WEB)

The supposed 1 Enoch similarity

Enoch 48:1 “And in that place I saw the fountain of righteousness which was inexhaustible: And around it were many fountains of wisdom; and all the thirsty drank of them, and were filled with wisdom, And their dwellings were with the righteous and holy and elect.”

In John 4:14 Yahusha was speaking of living water springing up from within a person. However, 1 Enoch is not talking about this same thing. It is more likely that the writers of 1 Enoch may have borrowed from Isaiah 12:3, 55:1, 58:11; Jeremiah 2:13; Psalm 36:8-9 and modified the concepts found in these verses.

I can’t list all the contradictions from the book of Enoch but here are a few from the enoch book online here: http://www.hiddenbible.com/enoch/on...

1) The Book of Enoch contradicts scripture by saying all sin in the world did not originate with Adam, as the scripture states, but from a fallen angel named Azazel. Enoch 10:8

2) The Book of Enoch claims angels can cleanse the earth of all sin. This is counter to scripture and the message of the Basarah and makes the Book of Enoch heretical. Enoch 10:20-21

3) The Book of Enoch states that the human women who had sexual relations with fallen angels, and gave birth to giants will also be transformed into mythical creatures known as “sirens” which is the promotion of pagan teachings. Enoch 19:2

4) The Book of Enoch states that in the last days the children of the holy elect will come down from heaven to be one with the children of men. This is another strange concept that disagrees with scripture. Enoch 39:1

5) Yahusha stated he was going into heaven to prepare a mansion for the righteous, but the Book of Enoch says sinners must be evicted from the heavenly mansions first. Enoch 41:2

6) Yahusha shed his blood as the final sacrifice, but the Book of Enoch says Alahym will still require a certain number of righteous to shed their blood as an offering required by him.

7) Scriptures teach those who are in Sheol will be cast into the lake of fire, but the Book of Enoch says that Alahym will choose the righteous and holy from hell. Enoch 51:1-2

8) The Book of Enoch teaches that only the angels built the Ark, but the scriptures say Noah and his family were involved with the Ark. As a sign of his obedience and faith to Alahym Noah took the instructions of Alahym and completed the Ark. Angels are never mentioned as the builders of the Ark. Enoch 67:2

9) Book of Enoch states Enoch chapter 40:9 and the fourth, (angel) who is set over the repentance unto hope of those who inherit eternal life, is named Phanuel.’ This is blasphemy because an angel name Phanuel replaces the Ruach of Aluahym which brings the true repentance leading one to Mashiyach

10) The Book of Enoch teaches pagan mythology, by claiming the Sun and Moon are beings that ride in chariots across the sky. Then the Book of Enoch adds further heresy, by stating this knowledge about the cosmos was given from heaven. Enoch 72:4-5 & Enoch 73:12

Enoch 75:8: "And I saw chariots in the heaven, running in the world, above those portals in which revolve the stars that never set."

The teaching in the Book of Enoch is not meant to be a poetic illustration. In fact, the Book of Enoch claims this information about how the Sun and Moon go across the sky in a chariot, was actually knowledge given to Enoch from heaven by Uriel the angel (See chapters 79, and 80:1). However, how could that be true when we see king Yosiah destroying the dedication and symbolism of the Sun Chariot?

2Ki 23:11 And he/Yosiah did away with the horses that the sovereigns of Yehuḏah had given to the sun, at the entrance to the House of יהוה, by the room of Nathan-Meleḵ the eunuch, that were in the court. And he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.

11) The Book of Enoch speaks wickedly about the Second Temple and the sacrifices, which Alahym considered qodesh because it was him who strengthend the hands of Ezra and Nehemiah to continue the work of rebuilding . Enoch 89:72-74

12) The Book of Enoch says that Noah’s father was fearful of Noah when he was born, because Noah did not appear human and had eyes like laser beams that illuminated the entire house. In addition, the Book of Enoch says that Noah and his grandfather Methuselah were able to speak to Enoch from the edge of the earth and that Enoch appeared when summoned to shared secrets from heaven. Not only does this contradict scripture, but it appears to be very pagan, or like occult teachings, which is probably why many in the occult support this book. Enoch 106:2-3

13) Enoch is elevated to be above Mashiyach as the book teaches he was called by Alahym to come to heaven to rule his angels just as he ruled mankind

14) The book also teaches Enoch kept himself most of the time locked up away from men and came very seldom to teach them the words of Alahym and the whole world came to him to hear the pure words

There are so many other garbage stuff which is not worth a read. Doctrines of demons

Moreover the temple scroll found in the Dead sea scrolls as the book of Enoch adds to the Tanak by stating laws which are more burdensome than Masha’s Turah.

One of them being no consummation of marriage within the temple city and purification for upto 3 days to even enter the temple city for the married couple who consummate marriage outside the temple city

The book also elevates the imaginary second temple of the writer of the Temple scroll above the one which Solomon built and says it should have been built like the one the writer understood it

The basis of calendar’s are from these pagan demonic books which are full of heresy

Just because it fits to what you believe dosen’t make these books inspired text

Yahusha calls all those into repentance who have ventured into these pagan beliefs

I am not a solicitor of any calendar but urge you and everyone occupied in a calendar to see the times we live in with the sign of the sun turning black and the moon into blood before the great day of Yahuah.

The Renewal

Psalms 81:3  Blow a shophar in the New Moon/chadash H2320, in the full moon/kasah H3677 for the day of our festival/chag.
 4  For this is a law a for Yisra’ĕl, And a right-ruling of the Elohim of Yaʽaqoḇ

Chadash: H2320 Renew

There are three calendars floating today, Enoch calendar which only takes the path of the sun, Rabbinical Judaism only takes the path of moon and then there is a luni Solar calendar which only takes the path of the Full moon. Each camp are adamant they have the right calendar and accuses the other camp to be unclean. This study is an attempt to help one discern the signs of times in understanding the historic fulfillment of the feasts of Yahuah spiritually in the visitation/appointed time.

Let's begin by understanding Yahuah's promise to Abraham

Gen 18:10  And He said, “I shall certainly turn/shub H7725 return/ashub H7725 to you according to the time/ayt H6256 of life/chayah H2416, and see, Sarah your wife is to have a son!” And Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him.

Gen 18:14  “Is dabar/H1697 too hard for יהוה? At the appointed time/muaed H4150 I am going to return/ashub H7725 to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah is to have a son.”

We have seen these verses before in our study 'Yasharal of Aluahym' but I would like to touch base on these verses as this is very important to understand why Yahuah gave Yasharal his muaedim/appointed times as he says in Leviticus 23:2  “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘The appointed times/muaedim H4150 of יהוה, which you are to proclaim as set-apart gatherings, My appointed times/muaedim H4150, are these:

These appointed times/muaedim of Yahuah were shadows or a rehearsal his bride would need to walk in for her purification until she is purified in her visitation when the dayspring from high would visit her. Yahuah's promise to Abraham was that he would turn and return to Sarah according to the time/ayt of life and she shall conceive and bear a son. This son would be the son of promise. Sarah was in her deadness of her womb and Yahuah would revive the womb to bring forth his promised son. And in Gen 18:14 Yahuah says '...At the APPOINTED TIME/MUAED I am going to return to you......''

This was the promise of springing forth of Mashiyach from her barren womb which would now be fruitful

Luk 19:44  and dash you to the ground, and your children within you. And they shall not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time/ayt of your visitation.”

While the immediate fulfillment was the birth of Yitshaq and many people stop there but the promise was of being born from above i.e. New Yerushalam whom Sarah was a type of.

Gal 4:22  For it has been written that Aḇraham had two sons, one by a female servant, the other by a free woman.
Gal 4:23  But he who was of the female servant was born according to the flesh, and he of the free woman through promise. 
Gal 4:24  This is allegorical, for these are the two covenants: one indeed from Mount Sinai which brings forth slavery, which is Haḡar,
Gal 4:25  for this Haḡar is Mount Sinai in Araḇia, and corresponds to Yerushalayim which now is, and is in slavery with her children.
Gal 4:26  But the Yerushalayim above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Gal 4:27  For it has been written, “Rejoice, O barren, you who do not bear! Break forth and shout, you who do not have birth pains! For the deserted one has many more children than she who has a husband.”
Gal 4:28  And we, brothers, as Yitsḥaq was, are children of promise. 

The word used in Gen 18:10,14 for time is 'ayt' H6256

The word 'ayt' has the ayin which is the eye and the tau which is the cross/stake. The time of life/chayah is the eye looking at the stake/cross from where we would get life. The Paleo Hebrew emanations are deep and point to Mashiyach who would be the one who would give us the life when we meet him in the appointed time/muaed. It's sad that the people of his time and even today missed the day of their visitation as they are in a continuous rehearsal having borrowed the wine from Yahudism after the flesh like the foolish virigns.

Luke 1:68 Blessed be Yahuah the Al of Yasharal, For He has watched over/paqad H4662 and accomplished redemption for His people,
Luke 1:69 And has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David His servant.

The Abary word 'paqad' they translated as 'visitation' which is one of the meanings as the word means 'Oversee/Watch/Appoint/Visit'. The picture is of Yahuah guarding/watching over the womb of Sarah in renewing it to bring it from barrenness to fruitfulness to bring forth his Son who would meet his people face to face and in him his people would receive life. Those calling for a literal rehearsal after the appointed time/day of visitation have missed Yahusha ha Mashiyach completely as all the appointed times find its spiritual fulfillment in him. For details you may visit my study on 'The appointed times of Yahuah'.

There is no word 'calendar, solar, lunar, luni-solar' in scriptures. All calendars are man made for time keeping. Yahuah when giving instructions for a rehearsal gives simple instructions on how his muaedim had to be observed. Hence we will now look at Psalms 81:3-5 and Psalms 104:19 closely in this study to understand this.

Psalms 81: 3  Blow a shophar in the New Moon/chadash H2320, in the full moon/kasah H3677 for the day of our festival/chag.
 4  For this is a law a for Yisra’ĕl, And a right-ruling of the Elohim of Yaʽaqoḇ.

The word chadash H2318 means renew and is used as 'Barayat Chadashah' which means 'Renewed Covenant'

Matt 26:28 “for this is My blood of the renewed/chadashah covenant/barayat, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.”

Jer 31:31  “See, the days are coming,” declares יהוה, “when I shall make a renewed/chadash H2319  covenant/baryath with the house of Yisra’ĕl and with the house of Yehuḏah,

H2319 chadash is from H2318 which means renew

The shophar had to be blown in the renewal? What renews apart from the moon
The word for moon is yarach H3394 where the yad in the word is the hand and rach means travel. Yasharal would see the yad/hand of Yahuah in rach/travel to arrive at the desitination.

Rach: 

Gen 1:14  And Elohim said, “Let lights come to be in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and appointed times/muaed 4150, and for days and years,

Many people follow a solar calendar based on the book of Enoch. Firstly the book of Enoch is abominable as it holds doctrines like Enoch being called to heaven to rule the angels and in his journey to seven heavens. The so called Enoch in that book reveals the path of the sun and his encounters with different angels as he ascends. I don't want to get into that but people can go to any extent into apostasy to prove their calendar.

We have to be consistent in interpreting scripture and when Yahuah made the two great lights i.e. the sun and the moon he made them for signs and appointed times, and for days and years. While some take only the path of the sun to determine a solar calendar, the others only take the path of the moon making up a lunar calendar and yet a third view is of a luni solar calendar which only takes path of the Full moon. While all three of these calendars have some truth in them, we strive to understand a whole perspective to understand how the rehearsal took place until the appointed time of the visitation from the Dayspring from high.

Psa 104:19  He made the moon/yarach H3394 for appointed times/muaedim H4150; The sun knows its coming in/mabua H3996.

All of the translations say ...''the sun knows its going down'' and they are partly right but a closer look at the word 'mabua' H3996 and its root word 'bua' sheds a light on what the Psalmist is trying to say.

The root word 'bua' in 'mabua' means to fill/entrance/coming in. While we know the sun sets in the west, it's path doesn't stop there, it continues into its path of the entrance the next morning rising again and this is exactly what this word means. Let me give you a few examples.

Psa 50:1  A Psalm of Asaph. Ěl Elohim יהוה shall speak, And He shall call the earth From the rising of the sun to its going down/mabua H3996.

Let's re-read the verse Psa 50:1  A Psalm of Asaph. Ěl Elohim יהוה shall speak, And He shall call the earth From the rising of the sun to its coming in/mabua H3996.

The verse shows a complete 'circuit' i,e, starting point to the starting point. Let me show you another example.

Psa 113:3  From the rising of the sun to its going down/mabua H3996, The Name of יהוה is praised.

Lets see the verse in the light of the word 'mabua' as 'entrance/coming in' and not going down

Psa 113:3  From the rising of the sun to its coming in/mabua H3996, The Name of יהוה is praised.

The translators would want you to praise Yahuah only from the rising of the sun to it's going down but the call is to praise him from the rising of the sun to it's coming in the next day which shows a continuous praise ascending to him.

I have only shown you examples of the sun, you may look up the word and most of the times it is interpreted correctly as 'entrance/coming in/enter into/cometh/entry/entering in etc'

Hence the verse Psa 104:19 should be correctly translated as ' He made the moon/yarach H3394 for appointed times/muaedim H4150; The sun knows its coming in/mabua H3996'

When does the sun come in? While we understand the sun coming in/entering daily when it rises in the east we must understand Psalms 104:19 in relation to his appointed times/muaedim and relate it to Gen 1:14 where Yahuah made the great lights one to rule the day and one to rule the night and he made them for signs, appointed times, seasons, days and years.

Before looking at the entrance of the sun we must also see the imagery of Heavenly Yerushalam as portrayed in Revelation 12 as Sarah with her children of promise.

Rev 12:1  And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
Rev 12:2  And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

The woman was clothed with the sun, the Hebrew word for sun is 'shamash' which has root words 'sham' which means breath and 'mash' which means drawn out. The woman being clothed with the sun shows she is set-apart in being made righteous and clothed with the esteem of Yahuah just like the letter quph shows the sun on the horizon which shows the 'entrance/coming in' of the sun.

The moon under her feet shows she walked into the muaed/appointed time being purified of her impurity by travailing in birth pangs to bring forth the promised seed Yahusha Mashiyach. The 12 stars on her head shows the 12 tribes are her crown.

Rev 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the male child.
Rev 12:14 But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she was made whole/kalkal there for a time/muaed and times/muaedim and half /khatsay, from the presence of the serpent.

The woman was persecuted by Shatan and she was given two wings of a great eagle to fly into the wilderness where she was made whole/kalkal (they translated it as nourished, the word kal means 'complete/whole'). She was made whole in the wilderness for muaed, muaedim and khatsay. The word khatsay means 'an arrow dividing the flesh'

khatsay: arrow dividing the flesh

The picture is of the woman being set-apart from the fleshly Yasharal as dividing of the wheat and tares, ruach from the flesh. She is made whole in the wilderness for muaedim/appointed times. It is a picture of being made whole in Yahusha ha Mashiyach and in OT she walked in the cycles of her impurity/mensuration uncleanliness year after year. For details you may look up my study on 'Enclosed in the womb'. The two wings of a great eagle is a picture of her deliverance from Egypt into the wilderness unto Yahuah.

Exo 19:4  ‘You have seen what I did to the Mitsrites, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.

Some people may quickly jump into saying the woman was taken to the wilderness to observe the muaed, muaedim and khatsay, the truth revealed in this passage is she is in the wilderness (out of  carnal Yasharal) during the appointed times, after she delivers the manchild as we read in the promise Yahuah made to Abraham that he would turn and return according to the time of life and Sarah will give birth to a Son. Whereas carnal Yasharal indulges into the carnal observance of the appointed times without understanding the fulfillment in Mashiyach.

Matt 24:20 “But pray that your flight shall not be in the winter/chorep, or on a Shabbat.”
Matt 24:21 “For then there shall be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall.”

They translated choreph as winter but choreph also means 'reproach, blaspheme, jeopardize, bethroed '

Choreph: H2778

Matt 24:20 pray that your escape be not when bethroed/choreph H2788 or on Sabbath
Matt 24:21 “For then there shall be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall.”

Psalms 42:10  With murder in my bones, My enemies have reproached/choreph H2778 me, While they say to me all day long, “Where is your Elohim?”

Lev 19: 20  ‘And when a man has intercourse with a woman who is a female servant, choreph/bethroed H2788 to a man, and to be ransomed, but she has not been ransomed nor set free, there should be an inquiry. But they are not put to death, because she was not free.

The fleeing/escape of the woman was when she was bethroed i.e. on Sabbath. Sabbath is listed as one of the muaedim in Leviticus 23

Lev 23:2  “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘The appointed times/muaedim of יהוה, which you are to proclaim as set-apart gatherings, My appointed times/muaedim, are these:
Lev 23:3  ‘Six days work is done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, a set-apart gathering. You do no work, it is a Sabbath to יהוה in all your dwellings.

A spiritual comparison shows us this beautiful truth as a warning to heed to in the end times. We also read Daniel showing us this in Daniel 12:7

Dan 12:7  And I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, and he held up his right hand and his left hand to the heavens, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it would be for a time/muaed, times/muaedim, and half/khatsay. And when they have ended scattering the power of the set-apart people, then all these shall be completed. 

Now with this background let's look at the historical perspective of the observance of the muaedim/appointed times in the land of Yasharal. Let's get back to Psalms 104:19 '...the sun knows its coming in/mabua'

Entrance/coming in of the sun :

Psalms 89: 35 “Once I have sworn by My set-apartness, I do not lie to Dawiḏ: 36 “His seed shall be forever, And his throne as the sun before Me; 37 “Like the moon, it is established forever, And the witness in the heaven is steadfast.” Selah.

The witness of the sun and the moon in the heaven is steadfast established forever as the muaedim find its completeness in Mashiyach.

The following chart I drew to help the reader understand Psalms 81:3-5 & Psalms 104:19

The entrance of the sun is the beginning of the year at vernal equinox each year, that's the starting point and the sun runs its circuit to return there each year on March 20th-March 21st bringing in spring in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere. The sun on its circuit runs its course and brings in summer in the southern hemisphere around 22nd/23rd of September each year and autumn in the Northern hemisphere during that time. Hence we see this as the entrance of the sun year by year for both the parts of the world.

What's important is once we understand the entrance/coming in of the sun its application to Psalms 81:3-5

Psa 81:3  Blow the ram’s horn at the time of the Renewal /Chadesh, At the full moon/kasah, on our festival/chag day.
Psa 81:4  For this is a law for Yasharal, And a right-ruling of the Elohim of Yaʽaqoḇ.
Psa 81:5  He appointed it in Yehosĕph for a witness, When He went throughout the land of Mitsrayim; I heard a language that I did not know.

The ram's horn/shophar was to be blown at the renewal/chadash and the full moon on our festival day. In the hand drawn picture above each year at the entrance/coming of the sun at vernal equinox on March 20th-21st the first new moon closest to the vernal equinox is Abib/Nisan 1
Counting 14 days from Abib/Nisan 1 is the feast of Pesach and 15th day of the same month for 7 days is the feast of Unleavened bread which is the full moon.

Exo 12:2  “This month is the beginning of months for you, it is the first month of the year for you. 
Exo 12:3  “Speak to all the congregation of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘On the tenth day of this month each one of them is to take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household.
Exo 12:4  ‘And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next to his house take it according to the number of the beings, according to each man’s need you make your count for the lamb.
Exo 12:5  ‘Let the lamb be a perfect one, a year old male. Take it from the sheep or from the goats.
Exo 12:6  ‘And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then all the assembly of the congregation of Yisra’ĕl shall kill it between the evenings. 

First day of Unleavened bread always falls on a full moon day. Kasah also means covering/clothe oneself (H3680).

Example: The New moon for 2018 is 17th March. Hence March 17th is Abib 1 and this New moon/renewal is closest to the vernal equinox, counting 14 days from 17th March we arrive at 30th March as the day being Pesach, The current Jewish calendar also shows Pesach to fall on 30th March 2018.

The same entrance/coming in of the sun with the renewal/chadash (new moon) closest to the vernal equinox happens on the 22nd or 23rd Sept and the first day of the renewal/chadash is the 1st day of the seventh month which is Rosh Hashanah i.e. feast of the blowing of the trumpets. Counting 15 days from the renewal/chadash one arrives to the feast of Sukkot on a full moon day.

Example: The New moon/renewal for September this year is 9th Sept 2018 which is the first day of the 7th month and Rosh Hashanah (feast of trumpets). Counting 15 days from there we come to the full moon which falls on the 23rd of September 2018. The Jewish calendar this year also shows Rosh Hashanah on 9th September and Sukkot falling on 23rd September 2018. There are various moon phase calendars online and many of them are off by one or two days in the new moon/renewal phases. Ancient Yasharal observed real time and followed the mueadim and now since the tools made by man are available man looks up the tools and decides a pre-appointed calendar.

I just used the below link as a source to look up the new moon phases.  I am not calling anyone to observe a calendar. I am purely using this as an example.

http://www.astronomyisrael.com/p/moon-phases-calendar.html

https://www.timeanddate.com/moon/phases/israel/jerusalem

What is important to understand is the path of the sun measures time and the entrance/coming in and the path of the moon the chag/muaedim (feasts). No where does scriptures ever teach that the muaedim need to be calculated based on the path of the sun. That's why these people go outside to book of Enoch and Temple scroll etc to prove their calendar is right.

Prov 7:19  “For my husband is not at home; He has gone on a long journey;
 20  “He took a bag of silver with him; He comes home on the day of the full moon/ kasah H3677 .”

Kasah is the same word we see in Psalms 81:3.The whore knows when the Master is returning.

The other objection many raise is what about the other feasts? Why only the renewal is considered only for Pesach and Sukkot?

In the 12 months of Abary only a few months in scripture are listed in Abary. The remaining names for their months they brought along with them from Babylonian captivity. All the months which had no names were related to Abib the first month and hence testifying of Yahuah bringing his people out from the land of Egypt by a great deliverance. The 12 months cycle was a continuous reminder that Yahuah is Aluahym who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt but now Yasharal changed that. They added to his Turah the Babylonian culture which now would make them forget their deliverance from the land of Egypt. Their new calendar would now proclaim Yahuah who delivered them from Babylon. Yermeyahu prohesied of this

Jer 16:14 ¶ Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Yahuah, that it shall no more be said, Yahuah liveth, that brought up the children of Yasharal out of the land of Egypt; 15 But, Yahuah liveth, that brought up the children of Yasharal from the land of the north (Babylon), and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.

While the above passages may seem to be speaking positive of Yasharal proclaiming their deliverance from Babylon we need to read the other three verses before making that conclusion.


Jer 16:16 Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith Yahuah, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.17 For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes. 18 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double;because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable things.
The months listed in scripture before the Babylonian captivity are Abib (1st month), Ziw (2nd month), Eythanim (7th month) & Bul (8th month). Only 4 months name in scripture is revealed prior to Babylonian captivity and that's because Abib is the beginning of months and all the rest of the months are counted from the deliverance from the Egyptian captivity.

Abyab/Abib means 'Green grain' The new green ears of growing grain as the parent seeds attached to the stalk (pole) of the next generation of crops.
Ziw- named as month of building the temple and Ziw means 'brightness of flowers'
Eythanim means 'strong/mighty/strength'
Bul means 'food/stock' as in The crops grown in the flood plains of rivers when it starts raining

The structure of the months begin with new green ears of growing grain (spring) in Abib, Ziw when the flowers bloom and the summer is at peak, Eythanim when the harvest is stocked in their barns and the people are strong and Bul when it starts raining and the winter sets in with crops grown on the river banks. Two months up during spring/Abib and summer/Ziw showing the beginning of months and the offering of the count of omers and two months down during ingathering when Yasharal takes a stock of their harvest and bring their offerings to Yahuah during the feast of Sukkot in the 7th month and sows their autumn crops when it rains just before winter sets in. This happens/ed year by year in a repeat cycle with a renewal at spring in March when the sun enters in during vernal equinox and September during the vernal equinox causing seasons in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Yasharal falls in the Northern hemisphere.

Yarach/Moon showed the hand of Yah leads one's travel to Yahusha. He is the goal of Turah. Turah was our school master to lead us to him. The renewal is in him as he springs forth as the manchild through the woman renewing her dead/barren womb to bring forth many sons of promise in him.

1Ti 2:12  But I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, rather, to be in silence.
1Ti 2:13  Because Aḏam was formed first, then Chauah.
1Ti 2:14  And Aḏam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, fell into transgression.
1Ti 2:15  But she shall be saved in childbearing if they continue in belief, and love, and set-apartness, with sensibleness.

Isa 54:1  “Sing, O barren one, you who did not bear! Break forth into singing, and cry aloud, you who have not been in labour! For the children of the deserted one are more than the children of the married woman,” said יהוה.

The calendars are corrupted by men as Jew's add a month which they call Adar 1 (thirteenth month)  to cover up loss of days, they add the 13th month seven times in 19 years which they call as Jewish leap year.
The Egyptian's invented the Solar calendar : https://www.britannica.com/science/solar-calendar

Later this calendar was modified by Caesar based on the  rotation of the earth around the sun.
Firstly the sun rotates around the earth and not vice versa. The earth is a motionless plane and is flat. The Solar calendar adds one day every four years as a leap year to cover up the loss of days just like lunar calendar to keep their momentum of 12 months adds 7 times an extra month in a 19 year cycle. They do this to cope up with the sun to reach the vernal equinox in March. Most calendars referred to as "lunar" calendars are in fact lunisolar calendars. Their months are based on observations of the lunar cycle, with intercalation being used to bring them into general agreement with the solar year. The solar "civic calendar" that was used in ancient Egypt showed traces of its origin in the earlier lunar calendar, which continued to be used alongside it for religious and agricultural purposes. Present-day lunisolar calendars include the Chinese, Hindu, and Thai calendars. The ancient calculation of months with the muaedim in it was without an intercalation (adding of extra months to cope up with the Solar calendar).
It was a straight forward 12 months calendar based on the lunar phases with the Sun at the entrance/coming at vernal equinox.

A mesolithic arrangement of twelve pits and an arc found in Warren Field, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, dated to roughly 10,000 years ago, has been described as a lunar calendar and dubbed the "world's oldest known calendar" in 2013.
The lunisolar calendar tries to adjust the difference between the Solar and the lunar calendar.

Yahuah deliberately allowed this so that his sign would be accomplished which he gave the elect that the sun will turn black and the moon into blood before the great day of Yahuah.

Joe 2:31  the sun is turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of יהוה.

Rev 6:12  And I looked when He opened the sixth seal and saw a great earthquake came to be. And the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.

When applying to scriptures Yahuah's word has no mention of the word calendar, Solar or lunar. All this is made up by man where man on his calculations decided that based on the rotation of the earth around the sun on its axis hence a year consists of 365.2422 days, or about 365.25 days .
The truth being the earth never rotates around the sun, the sun rotates around the earth and twice comes close to the equator in March causing spring in Northern hemisphere and autumn in the Southern hemisphere and switches in September causing autumn in the Northern hemisphere and spring in the Southern hemisphere. The time calculation never changes. Its always determined by the sun. The months are neither Solar nor lunar. They are straight 12 months based on the moon phase renewal/chadash which determines the beginning of the month and the full moon/kasah falling on the feast/chag/muaedim in the first month and seventh month. (based on the vernal equinox's)
The cycle would reset at the entrance of the sun at vernal equinox year by year.
No international dateline, no Solar, no lunar, no intercalation (adding of days like leap year or leap month). This is all man made. It has all been corrupted and changed.
Solar calendar followers are in big deception and so is the Rabbinical Judaism as they follow calendars which is based on earth rotation around the sun whereas Yahuah's dabar shows the earth is flat and the earth is stationery and has foundations and it's the sun and the moon who runs on a circuit around the earth. To add to it the Greeks changed the day from evening to evening in the second temple era. Ceaser (the title itself shows that he was the one who ceased everything to put under his control) changed it further to midnight to midnight in timekeeping and a modified Egyptian Solar calendar in 46 BC which was called the Julian calendar. Later they changed it to the Gregorian calendar.

The Solar calendar adds 7 days to a 360 days lunar cycle (30 days x 12 months) in a year in the 31 days months ( March,  May, July, Aug, Oct, Dec and Jan) and takes away two from it in Feb (Feb has just 28 days)  to keep it at 365 days coping up with the Sun to reach the vernal equinox in March. And they add an extra day every four years called a leap year as to maintain the 0.242 days because the Earth does not orbit the sun in precisely 365 days. Is this the way Yahuah wants us to keep a calendar for weekly Sabbaths and feasts? Many of the scrolls found in dead sea don't confirm with the dabar of Yahuah.
Example the writer of the temple scroll claims to be a zadok priest who says the measurements of sacrifices revealed to Him in sacrifices, burnt offerings, incense etc are better than those offered in Solomons temple as people forgot Moses law.
This is a false claim as scriptures teach that when Solomon dedicated the temple the priests couldn't minister for the esteem of Yahuah filled the house.
If Solomon had forgotten Moses law and not made everything as per the Mosaic pattern given by Yahuah, Yahuah would never have come into that house with esteem and would have judged Solomon for leading his people astray. The temple scroll adds to Moses law by giving details on where to cut the animal during sacrifice, how much incense in measures need to be used to make a yearly stock etc. It's actually Talmud which adds to Yahuahs Turah.

To keep it simple there were 12 months of 30 days more or less each depending on the new moon/chadash (renewal) each month when the shophar was blown to mark the beginning of a month as stated in Psalms 81:3

Num 10:10 “And in the day of your gladness, and in your appointed times, and at the beginning of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over your peace offerings. And they shall be a remembrance for you before your Elohim. I am יהוה your Elohim.”
The new moon determines the beginning of a month and the full moon in March and September determines the spring and autumn equinox.
In March it determines the month Abib/Nisan with the feast of Pesach falling in it and in the autumn equinox the feast of tabernacles/sukkot. Shavuot is a calculation of 7 complete Shabbats from Firstfruits which is morrow after the Shabbat during Unleavened bread.
Rosh Hashanah/feast of trumpets falls on a New moon/chadash/renewal on the first day of the seventh month ...day of atonement was on the 10th day of the seventh month.
Feast of Sukkot is calculated as 15 days from the new moon in the seventh month ie. Rosh Hashanah which/Sukkot is a full moon day.
So when it says blow the shophar on the new moon /renewal, in the full moon /kasah is related to the first and the last feast showing us Yahuah is the first and the last.
When Yahusha entered Yerushalam on a foal Yahuah brought both the feasts together as it was time of Pesach and the people came with goodly branches crying Hoshianah as done during Sukkot.

Psalms 81: 5  He appointed it in Yehosĕph/Joseph for a witness, When He went out of the land of Mitsrayim; I heard a language that I did not know.

I heard a language I did not know is probably a reference to some Yasharalites who held on to the Egyptian Solar calendar which was carried on years later as Asaph who wrote the Psalm saw it's observance against the ordinance of Yahuah.

The quph with a picture of 'sun on the horizon' is a renewal as it shows both a rising and setting, it shows a beginning and a coming in again i.e. when the sun takes a complete circuit and comes to the same starting point year by year.
The moon as chadash/renews month by month marking the beginning of the month and the covering/kasah on Pesach and Sukkot the beginning and the end of the muaedim. The woman being clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet shows her purification in delivering the manchild Yahusha ha Mashiyach who cleansed her of her impurity of a year by year walking in the cycles in hope of her purification.

Isa 66:22  “For as the renewed/chadash heavens and the renewed/chadash earth that I make stand before Me,” declares יהוה, “so your seed and your name shall stand.
Isa 66:23  “And it shall be that from renewal/chadash to renewal/chadash, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,” declares יהוה.
Isa 66:24  “And they shall go forth and look upon the corpses of the men who have transgressed against Me. For their worm shall not die, and their fire not be quenched. And they shall be repulsive to all flesh!

The renewed heavens and earth are the spiritual heavens and the earth which Yahuah Aluahym made in the day he made the earth and the heavens. Many interpret these passages as the Millennial rule on earth which is a wrong interpretation. The all flesh coming to worship before Yahuah is in a renewed covenant in Mashiyach as the previous verses talks about the people of Yahuah being scattered and their brothers bringing them back from Tarshish, Pul, Lud, Tubal and Yawan and the coastlands far off who did not hear the report or seen the esteem of Yahuah.

Isa 66:19  “And I shall set a sign among them, and shall send some of those who escape to the nations – Tarshish and Pul and Luḏ, who draw the bow, and Tuḇal and Yawan, the coastlands afar off who have not heard My report nor seen My esteem. And they shall declare My esteem among the gentiles.
Isa 66:20  “And they shall bring all your brothers as an offering to יהוה out of all the gentiles, on horses and in chariots and in litters, on mules and on camels, to My set-apart mountain Yerushalayim,” declares יהוה, “as the children of Yisra’ĕl bring an offering in a clean vessel into the House of יהוה.
Isa 66:21  “And from them too I shall take for priests – for Lĕwites,” declares יהוה.

Tubal and Yawan were sons of Yapeth and Tarshish was the son of Yawan, these were sons & descendants of Noach and in Gen 9:27 Noah prophesied that Yapeth would come into the tents of Shem. Shem was the father of the Yahudi's.

Gen 9:27  “Let Elohim enlarge Yepheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shĕm. And let Kenaʽan become his servant.”

Gen 10:1  And this is the genealogy of the sons of Noaḥ: Shĕm, Ḥam, and Yepheth. And sons were born to them after the flood.
Gen 10:2  The sons of Yepheth: Gomer, and Maḡoḡ, and Maḏai, and Yawan, and Tuḇal, and Mesheḵ, and Tiras.
Gen 10:3  And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Toḡarmah.
Gen 10:4  And the sons of Yawan: Elishah and Tarshish, Kittim and Doḏanim.
Gen 10:5  From these the coastland peoples of the nations were separated into their lands, everyone according to his language, according to their clans, into their nations.

Pul was an Assyrian king and Lud was a son of Shem...as we know that only the promised seed is accounted for and not the carnal seed of Shem/Abraham. The sons of Yasharal were driven far away into these lands and further away from where they will be gathered again and Yahuah says he will take from them the Levites (Yashayahu 66:21).

Gen 2:4  These are the births of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that יהוה Elohim made earth and heavens.

Heb 8:8  For finding fault with them, He says, “See, the days are coming,” says יהוה, “when I shall conclude with the house of Yisra’ĕl and with the house of Yehuḏah a renewed/chadashah covenant, 
Heb 8:9  not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Mitsrayim, because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them,” says יהוה.

The renewal is from a physical to a spiritual (heavens and the earth in the earth and the heavens), from a physical Shabbath to a spiritual Sabbath in Mashiyach as all come to Aluahym through the veil of his flesh entering the Most Set-Apart place.

Heb 10:19  So, brothers, having boldness to enter into the Set-apart Place by the blood of יהושע,
Heb 10:20  by a new and living way which He instituted for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,

Yahusha quoted verse 24 of YahshaYahu in Mark 9 three times in context of hand/yad, foot/ragal and eye/ayin
Hand speaks of work, feet of walk and eye to see ...all in context of cutting of what is dead which cannot discern the works & signs of Yahuah

Isa 66:24  “And they shall go forth and look upon the corpses of the men who have transgressed against Me1. For their worm shall not die, and their fire not be quenched. And they shall be repulsive to all flesh!

Mar 9:43  “And if your hand makes you stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life crippled, than having two hands, to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire,
Mar 9:44  where ‘their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’ 
Mar 9:45  “And if your foot makes you stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life crippled, than having two feet, to be thrown into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire,
Mar 9:46  where ‘their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’ 
Mar 9:47  “And if your eye makes you stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter into the reign of Elohim with one eye, than having two eyes, to be thrown into the fire of Gehenna,
Mar 9:48  where ‘their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’ 
Mar 9:49  “For everyone shall be seasoned with fire, and every offering shall be seasoned with salt.

Yahusha also said ''For everyone shall be seasoned with fire, and every offering shall be seasoned with salt''

Every grain Old Testament offering was salted with salt.

Lev 2:13  ‘And season with salt every offering of your grain offering, and do not allow the salt of the covenant of your Elohim to be lacking from your grain offering. With all your offerings you bring salt.

Numbers 18:19  “All the contributions of the set-apart gifts, which the children of Yasharal present to יהוה, I have given to you and your sons and daughters with you as a law forever. It is a covenant of salt forever before יהוה with you and your seed with you.”

The heave offerings were the grain/manchah offering as a sweet incense, and all ascending offerings  pointing to the elect who typified all these heave (wave offerings) offered during feast of firstfruits, pentecost and grain offering along with the sacrifices.. All a sweet smelling fragrance. Every sacrifice will be salted with fire, and the fire is a purifier and will reveal the works of men in obedience to Yahuah's commands in returning to him from their exile. We are called to preach the basarah /good news to everyone and he who is from the ones scattered of Yasharal and chosen by Yahuah will return to him.

The renewal is the fulfillment of the sun on the horizon as the Sun of Righteousness who is Yahusha ha Mashiyach lifts up his bride on his eagles wings taking her to the wilderness to make her whole until muaed, muaedim and division.

Mal 4:2  “But to you who fear My Name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings. And you shall go out and leap for joy like calves from the stall.

My prayer is everyone reading this study see the fulfillment of meeting the one at the appointed time i.e. Yahusha in a renewed/chadash covenant in a transition from the physical to the spiritual.

Rev 21:1 And I saw a renewed/chadashah heaven and a renewed/chadashah earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no more sea.
Rev 21:2 And I saw the holy city, renewed/chadashah Yerushalam, coming down out of heaven from the Elohim, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.

In the renewed Yerushalam there are no timekeepers ...no sun, no moon, no stars for Yahuah's esteem illuminates it and the Lamb is the Lamp.

Rev 21:23 And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon to shine on it, for the glory of Elohim has illumined it, and its lamp is the Lamb.

Tit 3:5 Not by works of righteousness, which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by being dipped /tabalyath and/uau praising/halyadah in the renewing/ha chadashah and renewal/chadosh by the Ruach ha Qodesh

Unto us a Savior is born! when?

The whole world celebrates Christmas on 25th December as a date designated of the birth of our Savior Yahusha ha Mashiyach and those come out of Roman church and call themselves 'born again' have come out of Rome carrying all her abominable doctrines as trinity, false name jesus for our Savior, Christmas, Easter, New Year etc. and call themselves as separated for him but are a far from being set-apart unto Aluahym for they are disconnected from the Abary (Hebrew) roots.
There are yet those who have come to the Abary roots and condemn these pagan rituals adopted by the world but have no clue when Yahusha was born. This study is a proof to help all brethren in Mashiyach understand the timing of the birth of Yahusha from scripture and refute the falsehood and lies of men. Yes you heard me correct, the scriptures are not in vacuum and it can be shown from scripture the timing of his birth, not the exact date though.

Pro 25:2  It is the esteem of Elohim to hide a matter, And the esteem of sovereigns to search out a matter.

So let's begin....

Luk 1:5  There was in the days of Herodes, the sovereign of Yehuḏah, a certain priest named Zaḵaryah, of the division of Aḇiyah. And his wife was of the daughters of Aharon, and her name was Elisheḇa.
Luk 1:6  And they were both righteous before Elohim, blamelessly walking in all the commands and righteousnesses of יהוה.
Luk 1:7  And they had no child, because Elisheḇa was barren, and both were advanced in years.
Luk 1:8  And it came to be, that while he was serving as priest before Elohim in the order of his division, 
Luk 1:9  according to the institute of the priesthood, he was chosen by lot to burn incense when he went into the Dwelling Place of יהוה.
Luk 1:10  And the entire crowd of people was praying outside at the hour of incense.
Luk 1:11  And a messenger of יהוה appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

There was a priest named Zakaryah of the division of Abiyah who stood in the order of his division AbiYah serving in the Dwelling place of Yahuah chosen by lot to burn incense, and the angel Gabriel is sent to him to announce the birth of Yahuchanan/John the Immerser/Baptist.

Luk 1:12  And when Zeḵaryah saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
Luk 1:13  But the messenger said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zeḵaryah, for your prayer is heard. And your wife Elisheḇa shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Yahuchanan (John). 
Luk 1:14  “And you shall have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice at his birth.
Luk 1:15  “For he shall be great before יהוה, and shall drink no wine and strong drink at all. And he shall be filled with the Set-apart Spirit, even from his mother’s womb. 
Luk 1:16  “And he shall turn many of the children of Yisra’ĕl to יהוה their Elohim.
Luk 1:17  “And he shall go before Him in the spirit and power of Ěliyahu, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the insight of the righteous, to make ready a people prepared for יהוה.”
Luk 1:18  And Zeḵaryah said to the messenger, “By what shall I know this? For I am old, and my wife advanced in years.”

The one to be born would be filled with the Set-apart Ruach (Spirit) even from his mother's womb and he would go before Yahuah preparing his way in the spirit of Alayahu/Eliyahu (Elijah) the prophet turning the hearts of the fathers to the children and the disobedient to the insight of the righteous, to make ready a people prepared for Yahuah.
To understand the timing of the birth of Yahuchanan/John and Yahusha we must focus on the Zakaryah of the division of Abiyah who stood in the order of his division serving in the Dwelling place of Yahuah.

Now let's turn to the Old Testament to understand the divisions alloted to the priests in serving in their course in the Dwelling place of Yahuah by king Daud/David.

1Ch 23:3  And the Lĕwites were numbered from the age of thirty years and above. And their number, head by head, was thirty-eight thousand males.
1Ch 23:4  Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the House of יהוה, and six thousand were officers and judges,

1Ch 24:3  And Dawiḏ, with Tsaḏoq of the sons of Elʽazar, and Aḥimeleḵ of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their offices in their service.
1Ch 24:4  And there were more leaders found of the sons of Elʽazar than of the sons of Ithamar. So they divided the sons of Elʽazar into sixteen heads of their fathers’ houses, and the sons of Ithamar into eight heads of their fathers’ houses.
1Ch 24:5  And they were divided by lot, one group as another, for there were officials of the set-apart place and officials of Elohim, from the sons of Elʽazar and from the sons of Ithamar.
1Ch 24:6  And the scribe, Shemayah son of Nethanĕ’l, one of the Lĕwites, wrote them down before the sovereign, and the rulers, and Tsaḏoq the priest, and Aḥimeleḵ son of Eḇyathar, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the priests and Lĕwites, one father’s house taken for Elʽazar and one for Ithamar.
1Ch 24:7  And the first lot came forth to Yehoyariḇ, the second to Yeḏayah,
1Ch 24:8  the third to Ḥarim, the fourth to Seʽorim,
1Ch 24:9  the fifth to Malkiyah, the sixth to Miyamin,
1Ch 24:10  the seventh to Haqqots, the eighth to Aḇiyah,
1Ch 24:11  the ninth to Yĕshua, the tenth to Sheḵanyahu,
1Ch 24:12  the eleventh to Elyashiḇ, the twelfth to Yaqim,
1Ch 24:13  the thirteenth to Ḥuppah, the fourteenth to Yesheḇ’aḇ,
1Ch 24:14  the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immĕr,
1Ch 24:15  the seventeenth to Ḥĕzir, the eighteenth to Happitstsĕts,
1Ch 24:16  the nineteenth to Pethaḥyah, the twentieth to Yeḥezqĕl,
1Ch 24:17  the twenty-first to Yaḵin, the twenty-second to Gamul,
1Ch 24:18  the twenty-third to Delayahu, the twenty-fourth to Maʽazyahu.
1Ch 24:19  These were their offices in their service for coming into the House of יהוה according to their right-ruling by the hand of Aharon their father, as יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl had commanded him.

The 24,000 priests divided by lot of 1,000 per division x 24 can be seen in the spiritual & figurative picture of 24 elders seated around the throne. The priesthood would find its transition from Levitical to the MalchiTsedek priesthood in Mashiyach Yahusha.

1 Chronicles 24:4-5 tells us that the sons of Eleazar were more than Ithamar and 16 heads were chosen from Eleazar and 8 from Ithamar.

1Ch 24:4 And there were more leaders found of the sons of Elʽazar than of the sons of Ithamar. So they divided the sons of Elʽazar into sixteen heads of their fathers’ houses, and the sons of Ithamar into eight heads of their fathers’ houses.
1Ch 24:5 And they were divided by lot, one group as another, for there were officials of the set-apart place and officials of Elohim, from the sons of Elʽazar and from the sons of Ithamar.

Nadab and Abhihu were killed by Yahuah for offering strange incense and hence only Eleazar and Ithamar remained of the sons of Aaron from whom these 24 heads were chosen.

Rev 4:4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

The names of the divisions are given in 1 Chr 24:7-18 and each division had 1,000 priests. ZackarYah would have been the head of his division Abiyah as he was offering the incense which only head of the priests of valiant sons were chosen to offer.

Rev 5:6 And I looked and saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders a Lamb standing, as having been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of Elohim sent out into all the earth.
Rev 5:7 And He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him sitting on the throne.
Rev 5:8 And when He took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the set-apart ones.
Rev 5:9 And they sang a renewed song, saying, “You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals, because You were slain, and have redeemed us to Elohim by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
Rev 5:10 and made us sovereigns and PRIESTS to our Elohim, and we shall reign upon the earth.”

Our focus would be on 24,000 priests from Leuites(Levites) were chosen in their courses/lots as stated in 1 Chron 24:7-19. Before we put them in a chart to see their divisions, how do we know who serves when in the 12 months in a Yahudi calendar?

We have scripture recording Yehoyada the high priest did not dismiss their divisions and the divisions are stated in the verse same verse of 2 Ch 23:8...each man (priest) took his men (priests) who were to come in on the Sabbath and with those going out on the Sabbath.

2Ch 23:8  And the Lĕwites and all Yehuḏah did according to all that Yehoyaḏa the priest commanded. And each man took his men who were to come in on the Sabbath, with those going out on the Sabbath, for Yehoyaḏa the priest did not dismiss the divisions.

This shows each division of the priests served from one Sabbath to another Shabbath (8 days) and the switch over of divisions happened on a Sabbath. The priest Yehoyada stood as a high priest in the court of Yoash the king i.e. 8 generations from king Daud/David. And he didn't break the courses/lots of the priests of Sabbath to Sabbath. Before we make a chart to show the divisions of the lots of the priests, we must also not forget that Torah stated that three times a year every male had to appear before Yahuah for the Festival of Unleavened Bread, Festival of Weeks/Pentecost and Festival of Booths/Tabernacles, since all Levites were males, they had to appear before Yahuah in their divisions for these three feasts.

Deu 16:16  “Three times a year all your males appear before יהוה your Elohim in the place which He chooses: at the Festival of Unleavened Bread, and at the Festival of Weeks, and at the Festival of Booths. And none should appear before יהוה empty-handed,

These three feasts called the Pilgrimage feasts were the most populated feasts as Yasharalites scattered all over the world would come to Yerushalam to appear before Yahuah. Hence the division of priests in each lot wouldn't be sufficient to cater to so many people coming in with their gifts to Yahuah as the Torah stated Deut 16:16....And none should appear before יהוה empty-handed, Hence during these 3 feasts all the divisions of the 24,000 priests served in the Dwelling place.

(Click on the image to enlarge it). Also please excuse me for using the Babylonian month's names corresponding to the months. The chart keeps changing year from year depending on when the new moon appears determining Abib/Nisan the beginning of months at vernal equinox which falls in March. I made up the chart considering year 5 B.C. as the year of conception of Yahuchanan the Immerser and Yahusha ha Mashiyach with their birth in 4 B.C.

To show consistency of the 24 divisions of the priests rotation I made a chart for 4 B.C. as well. Here it is:

There are many who say Yahusha was born in 1A.D. and the years are attributed to identifying his timeline as B.C. (before christ) and A.D. (anno domini) dividing his birth as a dividing point for world history. Firstly this kind of dating was much later and never existed back then. We take the year 4 B.C. as the year of birth of Yahusha because Herodes who tried to kill him when he was born died in that year.

Mat 2:13  And when they had left, see, a messenger of יהוה appeared to Yosĕph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the Child and His mother, and flee to Mitsrayim, and remain there until I bring you word, for Herodes is about to seek the Child to destroy Him.”
Mat 2:14  And rising up, he took the Child and His mother by night and departed for Mitsrayim,
Mat 2:15  and remained there until the death of Herodes, to fill what was spoken by יהוה through the prophet, saying, “Out of Mitsrayim I have called My Son.

(Please note that though the chart would change depending on the new moon year by year after the vernal equinox determining the month of beginnings, the chart would be accurate in terms of determining when Yahuchanan Baptist was conceived and born and when Yahusha was conceived and was born. In 5 B.C. 1 Abib/Nisan fell on 5th April, the day after the new moon on 4th April. From there we count 14 days which brings us to around 18th April as the day of Passover which begins actually from 17th April in the evening, the full moon day. The priestly duty of the first lot would begin with the new moon each year.

From the chart above one can see each priestly division served at least twice a year when the year began each year at the vernal equinox plus the new moon visibility. The first division of priests would present themselves for the service of the Dwelling place during the new moon of Abib/Nisan each year. This would be the beginning of months and commemorates the exodus of Yasharal from the land of Egypt. In the chart above, I have listed the priestly division right until the Vernal Equinox and based on the sighting of the new moon the priestly division would recycle right from the first lot from Yehoyarib who would appear from new moon after vernal equinox each New year.

You may see the new moon & the Vernal Equinoxes right until 2400 BC

Remember we are not developing a solar/lunar or a luni solar calendar. We are just looking at approximate times where these priestly divisions fit week by week in each year beginning from Abib/Nisan till the next year when they recycle back to the first lot. I have taken 5 B.C. as the year as Yahusha was born in 4 B.C.
So a previous year before both Elizabeth or Mary were concieved is considered to see the year in which Zackaryah in his Abiyah division in the temple stood during Shavuot.
The other challenge is that Zackaryah like any other division would appear twice in his division...one during Shavuot in the 3rd month Sivan and once in the 8th-9th month, so how do we determine the time the angel Gabriel was sent to him when he was serving in the Dwelling place?

Zechariah serves during the first week of Sivan and then is required to serve the following week for Shavuot. According to the Torah only the Aaron and his sons were allowed to burn incense on the altar of incense. (Exo 30:7-8) . Also once a year the high priest was to make Atonement for this altar of incense (Ex0 30:10)

Exo 30:7 “And Aharon shall burn on it sweet incense, morning by morning. As he tends the lamps, he shall burn incense on it.
Exo 30:8 “And when Aharon lights the lamps between the evenings, he shall burn incense on it – a continual incense before יהוה throughout your generations.
Exo 30:9 “Do not offer strange incense on it, or a burnt offering, or a grain offering, and do not pour a drink offering on it.
Exo 30:10 “And Aharon shall make atonement upon its horns once a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonement – once a year he makes atonement upon it throughout your generations. It is most set-apart to יהוה.” 

Only about 80 priests along with the chief priest out of the 24,000 were chosen for this task as set-apart to burn incense as seen in the account of Uzziah who took it upon himself in pride to offer incense and became leprous on account of it.

2Ch 26:16 But when he/Uzziah became strong his heart was lifted up, to his destruction, for he trespassed against יהוה his Elohim by entering the Hĕḵal of יהוה to burn incense on the altar of incense.
2Ch 26:17 And Azaryahu the priest went in after him, and with him were eighty priests of יהוה, who were valiant/chayil sons/ban.
2Ch 26:18 And they stood up against Sovereign Uzziyahu, and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziyahu, to burn incense to יהוה, but for the priests, the sons of Aharon, who are set-apart to burn incense. Get out of the set-apart place, for you have trespassed, and there is no esteem to you from יהוה Elohim.”
2Ch 26:19 And Uzziyahu was wroth. And he had a censer in his hand to burn incense. And while he was wroth with the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead, before the priests in the House of יהוה, beside the incense altar.
2Ch 26:20 And Azaryahu the chief priest and all the priests (80) looked at him, and saw that he was leprous on his forehead. And they hurried him from there. And he also hurried to get out, because יהוה had struck him. 

We see the 80 priests set-apart to burn incense stood against Uzziah (verse 18), these were valiant sons among priests who stood in the court of the king along with the chief priests. There is no mention of division of this special lot in scriptures in Torah but the fact that these may have been chosen among all priests as stated in 2 Chron 26:17 ...’who were vailant sons’ after the incident of Korah and the company being destoryed for offering incense as stated in Numbers 16:40

Num 16:39 And Elʽazar the priest took the bronze fire holders, which those who were burned up had brought, and they were beaten out as a covering on the altar –
Num 16:40 a remembrance to the children of Yisra’ĕl that no stranger who is not of the seed of Aharon, should come near to offer incense before יהוה, and not be like Qoraḥ and his company – as יהוה had said to him through Mosheh. 

Zecharyah the priest of the division of Abiyah would have been one of these valiant sons among priests who would without fear being set-apart to Yahuah go in to offer the incense in the Dwelling Place.

Moreover Talmud states during Shavuot, the priests would draw lots to see who would get the honor of going into the Dwelling Place to burn incense on the altar. Only once during a priest's lifetime could his lot be drawn for this service. Zechariah's lot was drawn (Luke 1:9). We don’t know how far Talmud is true about the once in a lifetime a priest could offer incense but we must go by evidence from scripture and we see the evidence in 2 Chr 26:16-20. 

Being among the valiant sons of the priests chosen by lot to offer incense made him more accountable and hence he was struck with being dumb until the day of Yahuchanan being circumcised because he found it difficult to believe the angel’s words.

Luk 1:18 And Zeḵaryah said to the messenger, “By what shall I know this? For I am old, and my wife advanced in years.”
Luk 1:19 And the messenger answering, said to him, “I am Gaḇri’ĕl, who stands in the presence of Elohim, and was sent to speak to you and announce to you this good news. 

Luk 1:20 “But see, you shall be silent and unable to speak until the day this takes place, because you did not believe my words which shall be filled in their appointed time.” 

There is no other direct reference so we must see the prophecy of Eliyahu/Alayahu (Elijah) as Yahuchanan/John was to come in the ruach of Eliyahu. Before that we must see evidence of people waiting for Zacharyah outside the Dwelling Place which shows this was not a normal day of offering of incense but a feast day and this definitely shows he was there in the Dwelling Place by lot at Shavout.

Luk 1:10 And the entire crowd of people was praying outside at the hour of incense.
Luk 1:21 And the people waited for Zeḵaryah, and marvelled at his delay in the Dwelling Place.

Mal 4:5 “See, I am sending you Ěliyah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of יהוה.
Mal 4:6  “And he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with utter destruction.

If you see the chart in his first division Zackaryah served in his 8th division just before Shavuot/Pentecost and continued to serve during Shavuot as all division of priests would have to serve an additional week for the three feasts Unleavened Bread, Shavuot & Booths/Tabernacles, hence the division of priests we distributed over 48 weeks + 3 = 51 weeks/357 days and in a year we have 52 weeks. The 52nd week would be at the vernal equinox and based on the full moon a New year would begin i.e. 1 Abib/Nisan.

With this background now focusing on the prophecy of Eliyahu coming before the great and awesome day was fulfilled with the announcement of the birth of Yahuchanan the Immerser to ZackarYah when he stood during Shavout in the temple. We also see Zackaryah being told that the child will be filled with the Ruach ha Qodesh right from his mothers womb, a sign of pouring of the Ruach on the day of Shavout.

Mat 11:7  And as these were going, יהושע began to say to the crowds concerning Yaḥuchanan, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
Mat 11:8  “But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft garments? Look, those wearing soft garments are in the houses of sovereigns.
Mat 11:9  “But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
Mat 11:10  “For this is he of whom it was written, ‘See, I send My messenger before Your face, who shall prepare Your way before You.’
Mat 11:11  “Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than Yahuchanan the Immerser, yet the least one in the reign of the heavens is greater than he.
Mat 11:12  “And from the days of Yahuchanan the Immerser till now the reign of the heavens is violated, and the violent seize it.
Mat 11:13  “For all the prophets and the Torah prophesied till Yahuchanan
Mat 11:14  “And if you wish to accept it, he/Yahuchanan is Ěliyahu who was about to come. 
Mat 11:15  “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

Luk 1:15  “For he/Yahuchanan shall be great before יהוה, and shall drink no wine and strong drink at all. And he shall be filled with the Set-apart Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.

Hence the prophecy fits perfectly relating to ZackarYah when he stood during Shavout in his first division. According to the chart Zackaryah could only go back home after he finished serving his division + the feast of Shavuot.

Luk 1:23  And it came to be, as soon as the days of his service were completed, he went away to his house. 
Luk 1:24  And after those days his wife Elisheḇa conceived. And she hid herself five months, saying,
Luk 1:25  “יהוה has done this for me, in the days when He looked upon me, to take away my reproach among men.”

Elizabeth hid herself five months and in the sixth month of her pregnancy the angel Gabriel was sent to Miryam, a virgin espoused to Yoseph.

Luk 1:26  And in the sixth month the messenger Gaḇri’ĕl was sent by Elohim to a city of Galil named Natsareth,
Luk 1:27  to a maiden engaged to a man whose name was Yosĕph, of the house of Dawiḏ. And the maiden’s name was Miryam.

Zackaryah went back home completing his division in third week of Sivan and considering Elizabeth conceived late in Sivan the third month, we count six months from there we arrive at Kislev i.e., the month November in our Solar calendar when the angel Gabriel was sent to Miryam to announce the birth of the Son of the Most high Aluahym.

Luk 1:36 “And see, Elizabeth your relative, she has also conceived a son in her old age. And this is now the sixth month to her who was called barren,

I've seen a brother teach that Yahusha was born in the 3rd month and 15th day based on Luke 1:26 taken in isolation which says 'And it came to pass in the sixth month'. He interprets the 6th month to mean 6th month from Abib and hence says Yahusha was born during Shavout/Pentecost as the 9th month falls exactly during Shavout, and that's when Yahuah gave Torah to Yasharal at Mt. Sinai.

Luke1:26 And it came to pass in the sixth month Elohim sent the messenger Gabri’El to the Galil, to a certain city named Netsareth,

While Yahuah did gave the Torah in the 3rd month at Shavout/Pentecost (when the feast was actually not started), taking the verse out of context when it pertains to birth of Yahusha is incorrect exegesis. We need to read the entire passages.

Luke1:24 And it came to pass after these days Elisheba his wife conceived and she kept herself hidden for five months and she said,

Luke1:25 “Thus Yahuah has dealt with me in the days that He took note of me, to gather up my disgrace from the sons of men.” 

Luke1:26 And it came to pass in the sixth month Elohim sent the messenger Gabri’El to the Galil, to a certain city named Netsareth,

Luke 1:36 “And behold, your relative Elisheba, whom she was called barren, she is also conceived to give a son in her old age. This is the sixth month with her.” 

We saw that ZacharYah's AbiYah division ended with the feast of Shavout/Pentecost. Hence, Elizabeth hid herself 5 months i.e., until November which is Kislev and the angel Gabriel was sent to Miriam in the 6th month of Elizabeth's pregnancy and not the 6th month from Abib. He was sent in Tevet i.e., December.

Miriam went in haste it says which shows, her visit to Elizabeth was imminent. Moreover, the angel told her that this was the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy. Hence, the sixth month has to be understood from Elizabeth's pregnancy and not from Abib the first month. 

Luke1:39 And Miryam stood up in these days and went with haste to the hill country, to a city of Yahudah.

Luke1:40 and she entered the house of ZakarYah and blessed Elisheba.

Luke1:41 And it came to pass when Elisheba heard Miryam’s blessing, the baby leaped in her womb and Elisheba was filled with the Holy Spirit.

Now it's easy to determine the birth of Yahuchanan as well as Yahusha ha Mashiyach. Counting 9 months from late Sivan we arrive at 1 Abib/Nisan the month when Yahuchanan was born around Passover and counting 9th months from Tevet i.e., December we come to the birth of Yahusha ha Mashiyach during Sukkot in the month Tisheri which corresponds to September/October.

The fact that Yahuchanan the Immerser had to be a Natsari (Nazarene) from his birth ties up to being born during the feast of Passover & Unleavened Bread where all leaven is removed from the houses. And Yahusha was accused of eating and drinking
Matt
11:19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.”
Sukkot is a feast of rejoicing, eating and drinking. See how this all ties up.

Luk 1:15 “For he shall be great before יהוה, and shall drink no wine and strong drink at all. And he shall be filled with the Set-apart Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.

While scripture records the food of Yahuchanan the Baptist in the wilderness to be locusts and wild honey, the scripture is silent on the types of food he ate at home before his public appearance to Yasharal in the wilderness. Moreover Luke 1:80 in our bibles gives us an impression that he was in the wilderness right from his childhood which is absurd. See the translation

Luke 1:80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and was in/(uyahay) the deserts until/ad the day of his public appearance to Yisrael.

'Uyahay' is a phrase used throughout Gen 1 in the creation account example :Gen 1:5 And Elohim called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And came to be/uyahay evening and there was morning, one day.

Also the word 'ad' is translated as 'witness, ever, everlasting, end, evermore, old, perpetually, by, as, when, how, yet, till, until, unto, for, to, but, on, within, filthy| {str: 1157, 5703, 5704, 5705, 5707, 5708}'. The translators picked up 'until' rather than 'for' because they mistranslated 'uyahay'.

Luke 1:80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and came to be (uyahay) in the deserts for/ad the day of his public appearance to Yisrael

So while he grew as a child in the care of his father Zackaryah and Elizabeth, he held on to strict Natsari/Nazarene dietary laws by not eating anything which had leaven in it, his adherence to the dietary laws were perpetual unlike anyone among Yasharal who would take a Natsari vow for a season. So the phrase that Yahuchanan the Baptist didn't eat bread doesn't mean he didn't eat bread at all, what it means is he didn't eat leavened bread but Unleavened only, just like he didn't have wine which has leaven in it.

Luk 7:31  And the Master said, “To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like?
Luk 7:32  “They are like children sitting in the market-place and calling to each other, saying, ‘We played the flute for you and you did not dance, we lamented for you and you did not weep.’
Luk 7:33  “For Yoḥanan the Immerser came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
Luk 7:34  “The Son of Aḏam has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look, a man, a glutton and a winedrinker, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
Luk 7:35  “And wisdom is declared right by all her children.”

These verses further shed light on two Natsari's, the one i.e. Yahuchanan who came not eating leaven and not drinking wine and the other i.e. eating both and wisdom is declared right by all her children in Luke 7:35 is unique to understand

Deu 16:13  “Perform the Festival of Booths for seven days after the ingathering from your threshing-floor and from your winepress, 
Deu 16:14  and you shall rejoice in your festival, you and your son and your daughter, and your male servant and your female servant, and the Lĕwite, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow who are within your gates. 
Deu 16:15  “For seven days you shall observe a festival to יהוה your Elohim in the place which יהוה chooses, because יהוה your Elohim does bless you in all your increase and in all the work of your hands, and you shall be only rejoicing!

The feast of Booths/Tabernacles was meant to be a festival of joy, when an Yasharali brings the fruit of his labor from his threshing-floor and from his winepress and had to rejoice before Yahuah for those seven days eating and drinking.

Scripture records Ezra read the Turah on the first day of the seventh month i.e. the day of Festival of Trumpets. When Ezra read the Turah, the people wept. They were told not to weep but to rejoice by eating and drinking before Yahuah and they celebrated the Feast of Booths with great rejoicing.

Neh 8:1  And when the seventh month came, the children of Yisra’ĕl were in their cities. And all the people gathered together as one man in the open space that was in front of the Water Gate. And they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of the Torah of Mosheh, which יהוה had commanded Yisra’ĕl.
Neh 8:2  And Ezra the priest brought the Torah before the assembly of both men and women and all who could hear with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month.

Neh 8:9  And Neḥemyah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest, the scribe, and the Lĕwites who taught the people said to all the people, “This day is set-apart to יהוה your Elohim. Do not mourn or weep.” For all the people wept when they heard the words of the Torah.
Neh 8:10  Then he said to them, “Go, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom none is prepared. For this day is set-apart to our יהוה. Do not be sad, for the joy of יהוה is your strength.” 
Neh 8:11  And the Lĕwites were silencing all the people, saying, “Hush, for the day is set-apart, do not be sad.” 
Neh 8:12  And all the people went to eat and to drink, and to send portions and make a great rejoicing, because they understood the words that were made known to them. 

Neh 8:13  And on the second day the heads of the fathers’ houses of all the people, with the priests and Lĕwites, were gathered to Ezra the scribe, in order to study the words of the Torah.
Neh 8:14  And they found written in the Torah, which יהוה had commanded by Mosheh, that the children of Yisra’ĕl should dwell in booths in the festival of the seventh month, 
Neh 8:15  and that they should announce and proclaim in all their cities and in Yerushalayim, saying, “Go out to the mountain, and bring olive branches, branches of oil trees, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of leafy trees, to make booths, as it is written.”
Neh 8:16  So the people went out and brought them and made themselves booths, each one on the roof of his house, and in their courtyards and in the courtyards of the House of Elohim, and in the open space of the Water Gate and in the open space of the Gate of Ephrayim.
Neh 8:17  And the entire assembly of those who had come back from the captivity made booths and sat under the booths, for since the days of Yeshua son of Nun until that day the children of Yisra’ĕl had not done so. And there was very great rejoicing. 
Neh 8:18  And day by day, from the first day until the last day, he read from the Book of the Torah of Elohim. And they performed the festival seven days. And on the eighth day there was an assembly, according to the right-ruling.

What shall we say of king Shelemoh?  During the completion of the Dwelling Place for Yahuah he too made a great feast of rejoicing celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles. We don't have time to look at all the examples as enough evidence is provided already. Coming back to Luke 7, Yahusha says ''To what shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like? They are like children sitting in the market place and calling each other saying 'We played the flute for you and you did not dance' ...referring to his visitation in rejoicing as he himself was the Bridegroom. He then goes on to say ''we lamented for you and you did not weep'' referring to Yahuchanan the Baptist who lived a life of abstinence from delicacy and leaven

Luk 7:35  “And wisdom is declared right by all her children.”

These texts show a spiritual tying up of the birth of Yahuchanan during Passover when all leaven is removed from the house and the birth of Yahusha during Succoth when there is great rejoicing when people live in booths and eat and drink before Yahuah.

The language of great rejoicing can be seen with the announcement of Yahusha's birth by the Angel to the Shepherds followed by the angelic host praising Aluahym '' “Esteem to Elohim in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased!”

Luk 2:8  And in the same country there were shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.
Luk 2:9  And look, a messenger of יהוה stood before them, and the esteem of יהוה shone around them, and they were greatly afraid.
Luk 2:10  And the messenger said to them, “Do not be afraid, for look, I bring you good news of great joy which shall be to all people.
Luk 2:11  “Because there was born to you today in the city of Dawiḏ a Saviour, who is Messiah, the Master.
Luk 2:12  “And this is the sign to you: You shall find a baby wrapped up, lying in a feeding trough.”
Luk 2:13  And suddenly there was with the messenger a crowd of the heavenly host praising Elohim and saying, 
Luk 2:14  “Esteem to Elohim in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased!” 

And this is the sign to you: You shall find a baby wrapped up, lying in a feeding trough/manger/stall:

We see a connection between the manger/stall/feeding trough to the ones Yitshaq made

Gen 33:17 Ya’aqob journeyed to Sukkoth, and built for himself a house and made booths/sukkah H5521 for his livestock; therefore he calls the name of the place Succoth H5523.

There was no place in the lodging/malun H4411 shows that it was a feast time where people came in large numbers as there was no place for Yoseph and Miryam. Many dispute stating that there was no place because the Yahudi's all over the world came to register themselves

Luk 2:1  And it came to be in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus for all the world to be registered.
Luk 2:2  This took place as a first registration while Quirinius was governing Syria. 
Luk 2:3  And all were going to be registered, each one to his own city.
Luk 2:4  And Yosĕph also went up from Galil, out of the city of Natsareth to Yehuḏah, to the city of Dawiḏ, which is called Bĕyth Leḥem, because he was of the house and lineage of Dawiḏ,

A closer look shows it was only registration of the Yahudites (residents of Yahudah). History also proves this as Quirinius was an appointed governor of Syria who governed the census of the province of Yahudah:

Below is the source from Wikipedia:

Publius Sulpicius Quirinius (c. 51 BC – AD 21) was a Roman aristocrat. After the banishment of the ethnarch Herod Archelaus from the tetrarchy of Judea in AD 6, Quirinius was appointed legate governor of Syria, to which the province of Judaea had been added for the purpose of a census.

Hence while a decree went out from Caesar Augustus for all the world to be registered and all were going to their own city to be registered, Yosef and Miryam went up from Natsareth to Yahudah to be registered in Bethlehem because Yoseph was a Yahudite and went up to his city of birth to be registered. Going upto one own's city doesn't draw a huge crowd for no place to lodge because only the Yahudites would be registered in their own cities. It definitely was the feast of Tabernacles.

Luk 2:39  And when they had accomplished all matters according to the Torah of יהוה, they returned to Galil, to their city Natsareth.

Luke 2:39 further confirms that when they had accomplished all matters according to the Turah of Yahuah (not as people would want us to believe that Yoseph and Miryam only came for the census) they returned to Galil to their city Natsareth. The all things accomplishment included the every male to be presented before Yahuah three times a year, circumcision of Yahusha on the 8th day (probably referring to the high Shabbath of the Feast of Tabernacles or the weekly Sabbath falling in that week and the priests remain blameless for circumcising on Sabbath), Miryam's purification & Yahusha's dedication (Luke 2:22-24),

Mat 12:5  “Or did you not read in the Torah that on the Sabbath the priests in the Set-apart Place profane the Sabbath, and are blameless?
Mat 12:6  “But I say to you that in this place there is One greater than the Set-apart Place.

Joh 7:22  “Because of this Mosheh has given you the circumcision – though it is not from Mosheh, but from the fathers – and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 
Joh 7:23  “If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the Torah of Mosheh should not be broken, are you wroth with Me because I made a man entirely well on the Sabbath?

Lev 12:2  “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘When a woman has conceived, and has given birth to a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days, as in the days of her monthly separation she is unclean.
Lev 12:3  ‘And on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin is circumcised. 
Lev 12:4  ‘And she remains in the blood of her cleansing thirty-three days. She does not touch whatever is set-apart, and she does not come into the set-apart place until the days of her cleansing are completed.

A woman would be unclean after the birth of a male child for 40 days and she was not allowed to enter the Dwelling place. So Miryam came to purify herself and present Yahusha along with Yoseph only after her days of purification which means only Yoseph would have gone up to circumcise him on the 8th day as required by Turah and the requirement of every male appearing before Yahuah during the feast of Tabernacles.

Luk 2:21  And when eight days were completed for Him to be circumcised, His Name was called יהושע, the Name given by the messenger before He was conceived in the womb.

There is so much evidence of the timing of the birth of Yahusha ha Mashiyach, so who was born during Christmas and what is Christmas is for you to search out because our Savior was not born in December. I do not condemn the reader for observance of Christmas as its not my job to condemn anyone but with the facts presented in this study my prayer is that the reader himself discern and forsake all pagan practices.

The LXX Greek word (Septuagint OT) for sukkah in Gen 33:17 is 'skenas' G4637 meaning “habitation, dwelling or tabernacle” and is the same word used in John 1:14 and Rev 21:3 in reference to Yahusha tabernacling with his people. The pen of the scribes changed the word from 'sukkah' to 'abus/mishkan' to mean a manger/crib/stall/tent

Joh 1:14  And the Word became flesh and pitched His tabernacle/sukkah among us, and we saw His esteem, esteem as of an only brought-forth of a father, complete in favour and truth.

Rev 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, Behold, the tabernacle/sukkah of the Elohim is among men, and He shall dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and the Elohim Himself shall be among them (His El).

'And wisdom is declared right by her children' can also be seen when Yahusha came on a foal into Yarushalam just before his death at Passover, the people brought goodly branches, palm branches and laid their clothes for him crying ''Hoshanna!'' which means ''Do save now, we beseech you '', it's a cry of both joy and lament. This further confirms that Yahuah brought his first feast Passover and the last feast feast of Tabernacles and made them one in Yahusha ha Mashiyach.

Joh 12:12  On the next day a great crowd who had come to the festival, when they heard that יהושע was coming to Yerushalayim,
Joh 12:13  took the branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and were crying out, “Hoshia-na! Blessed is He who is coming in the Name of יהוה, the Sovereign of Yisra’ĕl!”

Ps 118:25 O Yahuah do save now/Hoshiahna, we beseech You/ana; O Yahuah, we beseech You, make prosper now
Ps118:26 Blessed is the one who comes in the name of Yahuah; we have blessed you from the house of Yahuah.

Lastly lets read Gen 18:10, 14

Gen 18:10  And He said, “I shall certainly turn/shub and return/ashub to you according to the time/ath of life/chayah, and see, Sarah your wife is to have a son!” And Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him.

Gen 18:14 Is dabar too hard for Yahuah? At the appointed time/ muaed I shall return/ashub to you, at the time/ath of life/chayah, and Sarah shall have a son

The promised one was Yitshaq in whose place the ram caught with its horns in the thickets was sacrificed and the place where Abraham sacrificed the ram was Mount Moriah, that was the very place Shelemoh built the temple and Golgotha was outside the temple on that same mount where Yahusha was impaled on the stake. The word for appointed time is 'muaed' relating to Yahuah's feast and in Rabbanic tradition, they have a special wine on the night of Passover in remembrance of the promise of sending Eliyahu before the great and dreadful day of Yahuah. They do not know that Yahuchanan came in the Ruach of Eliyahu and they also failed to see the timing of his birth during Passover & Unleavened Bread which shows the preparing the way of Yahuah (by removing all leaven ) who is the true Natsari who is become our Yahusha. Yahuah brought both the feasts together to show that we as Yitshaq are the promised ones (at the appointed tim/muaed, the time of life I will return to you) and the least in the reign of the heavens being made one with Yahusha in both lamentation when the bridegroom is taken away and the great rejoicing when the bridegroom will come back to take us. All the sorrow of living in abstinence as Yahuchanan the Immerser in the wilderness will be forgotten by the greatness of being one with the rejoicing with the Master himself symbolized by the eating and drinking and making merry before Him.

Mat 11:11  “Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than Yahuchanan the Immerser, yet the least one in the reign of the heavens is greater than he.
