The Savior Is Born!
One of the first things I learned about Messianic Judaism (and Truth) was that Yeshua, our Messiah, was born during Sukkot – Feast of Tabernacles. First, because there wouldn’t have been shepherds out by night in Bethlehem in the dead of winter. Second, because the logical time for census would be when everyone is going to be traveling, anyhow – and the only time all Jews would be mobile and headed to Jerusalem in that part of the year would be Sukkot (which requires all Hebrews to sojourn to the Holy City). Third, if John the Baptist was born on Passover, and he was born six months before Yeshua, then that would put Yeshua’s birth at the fall. and Fourth, John the Apostle played a little with the word ‘Sukkot’ (tabernacle/dwelling) when he said in John 1:14 that the Word (Christ) became flesh and dwelled (sukkot) among us… hinting at a Sukkot birth.
And as if that wasn’t enough, we find out that ‘X-Mess’ is actually the pagan feast day of the Sun God, Mithras. Rome just wanted to appease the Christians AND the pagans, so they mixed the two, nullifying scripture and blasphemying Truth. For what fellowship hath light with darkness? Yahweh gave us a schedule of events in Leviticus 23… our fricking it up doesn’t change His ways, His plan. He is righteous and sovereign, and His will SHALL be done according to what He has set in motion.
But did you know that Sukkot – in Leviticus 23 – commands a 7-day feastkeeping that is started off with a ‘sabbath’ rest… and then on TOP of that, ANOTHER ‘sabbath’ rest on the 8th day? Do you know what happens on the eighth day in scripture? A baby boy is given his name and circumcised to the Lord. If Yeshua were born on a ‘sabbath’ rest set aside to honor His birth thousands of years before the fact, it fits SO WELL this other ‘sabbath’ rest on the eighth day to honor his name/set-apartness to the Lord.
Wow, eh? Yeah, that’s what I thought, too.
For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given. And the government shall be upon His shoulders, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Almight God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6
Thru sunset tonight, we observe the birth of our Savior,
Messiah Yeshua, Christ our Lord!So here’s a question for you:
IF Yeshua came to earth the first time
on the first day of Sukkot (today)…
THEN would it be possible that His second coming
be on that same day?
Regardless, today we celebrate the Birth!SUKKOT – Day 1!
