The Lion of Judah Prophecies of YHWH

Nasa has a program in which you can go back to any date  in history and see how the stars were lined up. Here is what they looked like at the Time of Jesus Birth. The Lion of Judah Prophecies of YHWH 1 The Lion of Judah Prophecies of YHWH Isaiah 7:14 (KJV) Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. God was letting his people know that they would be a sign in the heavens and also on the earth.The sign in the heavens was the Constellation Betulah or virgin that would give birth a son / to the BRANCH (Tzamach)The Branch of righteousness is none other than Jesus Christ who will come from heaven to fulfill the many prophecies uttered by the prophets since the world began. He is referred to as the Branch in Jeremiah 33:15; Jeremiah 23:5; Isaiah 4:2; Isaiah 11:1; Zech. 3:8 ; Zech. 6:12. Betulah/Leo url 1 Tzamach is the star in the right hand of Bethulah and it means The BRANCH , which means the King , the atoneing sacrifice, the son o man, servent and Judge which Yahshua”Jesus is all these” We can see all these in the Gospels - Mt. King/Messiah- Mk. /servent – Lk. The son of man. - Jn. The son of God and - Rev. the Judge. All of this took place in Tishri 1 – Sept. 11,approx 7pm.. This was when the first new moon of the new year began. The sun will have went down behind her and the moon would be under the Virgins feet.Same as in Rev.12:1 This happened in 3BC Sept.11,approx.7pm. not in Dec. ] 2 All this is the signs in the stars that the wisemen saw the night the Messiah was born.The word tell us what the signs in the Heavens would be when Yahshua“Shilo” would come. Genesis 49:10 (KJV) The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his fet, until. Shiloh come;and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. The Sceptre is the star known as Hamelech in Hebrew which means King. What this is saying is that the seed of the King of Judah will rule Israel until the giver of the Law /Torah comes and at that time the man made King “Hamelech” and lawgiver will not be recognized as king by God.  3 At the same time Hatzaddiq will come into conjunction with Hamelech”. and the sceptre will be passed to the Messiah. Ariel is the constellation most refer to as the Greek god Leo and Bethulah is the constellation refered to as Virgo. Hatzaddiq means “The righteous one” or Jupiter. Isaiah 7:14 (KJV) Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin “Bethulah” shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel When the wisemen saw Ariel and Bethulah coming together In unity and with both the New Moon which would be a high Sabbath and the Hatziddiq coming in front of Hamelech all for the first time ever they knew that this was the sign in the heavens for the coming of the BRANCH / The birth ot the Messiah. The wise men were looking fot the signs in the heavens and knew that the Messiah had been born. The wise men knew that Shilo “Messiah” had to come before the Hebrew year4000 and they were looking for the sign in the heavens.     The word tells us in Malachi 4:2 (KJV) But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. These wise men understood this prophecy, as being the Messiah and that he was to come before the fourth millennial. They knew that the Messiah the sun of righteousness was connected to Tzamach-the Messiah and Hatzaddiq the righteous one. They also knew that the sun was manifested on the 3rd. day and the sun of righteousness would also come on the third day. They knew that Bethulah had to be lined up with Ariel and it would have to take place on the 1st. new moon and this was the last one in that millennial. The third day was almost up and the Messiah came on the first sliver of the new moon in the year Tishri 1, - Sept.11, 3BC This is what the Wise men seen on Tishri 1 or Sept.11    3 BC

I find it absolutely amazing, that so many people who profess to be Christians do not know of the Gospel written in the starry heavens by God Himself. Nor have most even heard of this! To what depths have we fallen in the loss of this knowledge that was known so well in the ancient times. Let us consider the evidence and the scriptures, for God's truth written in the stars.

In Genesis 1:14-19, it is written:
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons [Mo’ed = appointed times], and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 17And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. 19And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

He telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names. Psalm 147:4

Here we see the evidence that it was GOD Himself, who numbered and named the stars in the constellations of heaven.

In the book of Job, accepted by scholars to be the oldest book in the Bible, we read:

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line* upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? Job 38:4-7
*(Kov, a line especially for measuring, a ruler)

God here is asking Job questions about the planet Earth and the stars that Job cannot answer. Farther along in Chapter 38, God asks:

Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? Job 38:31-33a

Here, God mentions several of the star constellations by name.
Mazzaroth is literally "the ZODIAC".

Speaking of the Planets and Constellations in Psalm 19, God says:

1. The heavens declare the glory of God;(*see note) and the firmament showeth his handywork.
2. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge.
3. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4. Their line* is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5. Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

* When the Gematria of the phrase in bold type in the first verse is added up, the total is 888 which corresponds to the Gematria of Jesus in the Greek NT showing just WHOSE glory is being shown.

The heavens declare the glory of God
HaShamaim misparim kavod El
The Gematria of the above is 888, and by the ORDINAL POSITION of each letter (1-22) the total is 186. These two numbers TOGETHER in this verse are extremely significant. The number 888 being the Gematria of the name Jesus in the Greek NT, and the number 186, aside from being the speed of light (186,000 MPS) is the Gematria of the sacred name of God, (YHVH)
26, taken to the second power (186). Together they form an awesome witness concerning the starry heavens and God's glory.

*Again, we see the word Kov, meaning a measuring line, or ruler.

The Hebrew letters when added up in the bold text of verse one, total 888, precisely the total of the name of Jesus in the Greek NT text.

In the Apocrypha writings, "The Wisdom of Solomon" Ch. 11 verse 20, it is written: "but thou hast ordered all things in measure and number and weight."

The subject of the gospel of the good news of God's salvation in the heavens has been explored by many scholars, and much has been written on the subject. Dr. Joseph Seiss writes in his book The Gospel In The Stars, "for ages this whole field [of study] has been left to a superstitious and idolatrous astrology, which has befouled a noble and divine science, and done immeasurable damage to the souls of men".

In that same vein, E. Raymond Capt writes in his book The Glory Of The Stars, "Agnostics have long offered virgin-born saviours, messiahs, or sons of God, preceding the Christian era, as criticism of the orthodox Christian position. Such claims are no longer valid in the light of Celestial Revelation. All world religions do show a common origin (by similarities) but it only proves that in the beginning, all mankind was given God's plan for humanity. In such cases, having foreknowledge of a virgin-born savior, it was no problem for corrupt priests to fabricate one, and, every religion did just that. Nor did such practices cease with the birth of Jesus Christ".
To arrive at the source of a matter, one by necessity, must trace it back to its beginning.
In every nation and culture on the Earth, there can be found in it's ancient historical writings, a story of a flood, a story of a "god-man". This is most apparent in the ancient Chinese symbol language, where their symbol for creation is made by combining three separate symbols. The symbol for man, the symbol for dust and the symbol for breath. In a nation whose language goes back more than five thousand years, and whose people have been denied the Bible for so long, it is amazing to find the creation account from Genesis incorporated into the Chinese language in their letter-symbol for creation.

Remember, Jesus Himself said : "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many". [Matt. 24:4,5]

This is so very true in our time, as David Koresh and Jim Jones prove out in such horrid fashion.

It is true that satan, is a liar, and will pervert God's Word, His children and the work of His hands if he is allowed to do so. Diligent study of the Word of God, along with an in-depth study of the fruit of that Word will prevent the liar's corruption of the truth.

The signs in the heavens were well known to the ancients. The Chinese, Chaldean and Egyptian records go back to more than 2,000 years B.C. The zodiac maps in the temples of Denderah and Esn'eh, in Egypt, which from evidence of the names of stars and constellations go back to nearly 4,000 years B.C.

The Zodiac has 12 major constellations, and each major constellation has three minor constellations, called "decans". The word "decan" comes to us from the Semitic word "Dek" meaning a "part" or "piece". As anyone who has ever pieced together a jigsaw puzzle can say, we examine each "piece" in order to recognize where it fits in the overall puzzle. The study of God's Gospel written in the NAMES of the stars is much the same, as is the study of God's Word overall.

Due to the availability of material available on this subject, I want to address only the first major constellation here in this work, along with it's three decans, in order to inform the reader of what is truly available to the serious student in the Word of the Living God. I begin at the beginning, and that is the constellation of Virgo. The doctrine of the virgin birth is under such attack today by the forces of darkness, that I am prompted by the LORD to bring out this timeless truth.

Let us now take a look at the Constellation Virgo or Betulah in Hebrew  along with it's accompanying parts, or decans.





The Sign of Virgo/Betulah  is the first sign in the Temple at Esn'eh in Egypt. This is the starting point, the beginning. I have heard many sermons preached, that refer to the "proto Evangelium", or first preaching of the Gospel in Genesis chapter three. I beg to disagree, as the first preaching of the gospel predates man by TWO DAYS in the creation week. This in and of itself, is a startling revelation, but even more so when we realize that contained in the ancient names of the stars set in the heavens, God has written the hope of man, who was not yet created, but would ultimately fall victim to sin and disobedience, and thereby have need of a redeemer. The prophecy of Genesis chapter three was written long before man's need of a plan of salvation, or one to redeem him.

In this first sign of Virgo/Betulah, the virgin, we find the truth of the statement given in Genesis, chapter three, as it is written:
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. [Gen. 3:15]

This is the foundation doctrine of both the Jewish and Christian hope. The promise of the coming one. The seed of woman who would crush the head of the serpent. It is this doctrine that caused every false priest from then on in every world culture, to proclaim a God-man born of a virgin to head his religion. It is from this original that all false idols are fashioned, and NOT the other way around.

The name of this constellation is Bethulah, virgin in Hebrew, and in Arabic she is Adarah, the pure virgin. In the Greek, as in the Greek translation of the TaNaK (the Hebrew scriptures) translated into Greek from 270-250 B.C. she is parthenos, again, virgin. In Genesis 3:15 she is presented only as being a woman, but in later prophecies, she is defined as being from the stock of Israel, the seed of Abraham, of the linage of David. Looking at some of these prophecies we see:

*Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also? Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. [ Isaiah 7:13,14 ]

Be aware that orthodox Jews vigorously contest this passage as pertaining to Jesus Christ. The evidence of the Word of God however, brings out the truth, and shows the wisdom of man for what it is, sorely lacking. In the New Testament it is written:

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us [Matt. 1:23]

When the total numerical value of all the letters are added up in the above verse, they total up to 8880. In Gematria, zeros have no value as such, and are only place holders. Dropping the zero, the 888 totals the same number as the name Jesus in the Greek New Testament. It is the NUMBER OF HIS NAME, and confirms the scripture of Isaiah 7:14 Amazing? Yes it is, but is this not what we should expect from the God who created everything?

Another prophetic verse is :

  For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase [Heb; marbeh] of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. [Isaiah 9:6,7]

Now in verse 6 we find some pretty amazing revelations of truth, so read carefully, and understand. By ADDING the numerical value of every 7th letter in the Hebrew text of verse 6 we get the total of 888, again, the number of Jesus' name as written in the Greek New Testament. Why every 7th letter? Because 7 is the number of the covenant, and the Sabbath, which is a SIGN between God and His people.

Now, to understand the Hebraic teaching behind the prophecy in verses 6 and 7, we need to understand a little about the Hebrew language, and it's aleph-Bet. The word translated as INCREASE in verse 7 above is prophetic of the virgin birth. The letter Mem is looked at as representative of a woman's womb. Let's look, and prepare to be amazed.

The Hebrew word is marbeh. The first letter of the word begins with a Mem. A mem is written in two ways: at the start or in the middle of the word as an "open mem," at the left and if it comes at the end of the word, it is written as a "closed mem." [Below] Isaiah gave us a powerful sign with the letter mem that Jews should not ignore.

He started the word marbeh with a "closed mem." But, this is the part that really gets the attention of Hebrew sages. The letter mem has a specific meaning and teaching.

It represents waters (actually chaotic waters), the kind of waters that are at birth, when a woman breaks water before giving birth. That is when the house goes chaotic.
It represents the womb!

The closed mem in Isaiah 9:6-7 is a Hebrew sign that the child will be born from a closed womb. This is the prophecy and sign that Isaiah gave us for the miracle birth of the Messiah. For what miracle would it be for a "young woman" to conceive and bring forth a son? They do it all the time.

If you break each letter down in the word:

closed men - chaotic waters from a closed womb, resh - head of, bet - house, and hey - a window, that which is revealed, the word actually tells a story. ( it reveals a Word picture) The head of the house will be revealed by a closed womb. Yahshua, the Son of God, is the head of God's house. He was born of a closed womb. This is quite understandable, when you consider the PATTERN of this very thing established in the Scriptures themselves. Abraham's wife Sarah brought forth a son from a closed womb, Hannah, the same, and of course, Mary's womb was also closed, not by advanced age, but by her virginity.

So here we see, by the sign in the heavens, and by the progressive revelation of the scriptures, the PATTERN. of the child from the closed womb. God did it for Sarah, Hannah and others, and at the proper time, for Mary, a womb closed by the fact of Virginity.

Returning to the constellation of Virgo/Betulah. We find in the ancient astronomical records of the world, a "new" star was observed. In ancient Chinese history, a new star was recorded at a time corresponding to the birth of the Saviour Tishri 1 Sept 11. 3BC
This new star was also accompanied by a conjunction of the planets Jupiter and Venus with the constellation Leo/Ariel and the King's star, Regulus, which when viewed from Jerusalem at that time appeared to be in one of the decans of Virgo/Betulah, Coma, which means "the desired one" or "the longed for". More on this constellation farther on.

Looking back to the virgin, we see that she lies prostrate, as fallen, even Mary, the mother of Jesus needed the redemption that He would bring forth for all peoples. The brightest star in this constellation is in her hand, and bears the ancient Hebrew name, Tsemach or the Branch, and in ancient Arabic, Al Zimach meaning the branch. One of the great symbols used of, and spoken of by the prophets is the Branch. Some other stars in this constellation also have similar names, Al Azal and Subilon mean, the shoot, the ear of wheat. We find that the language of prophecy is identical with this sign. It is written:

And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: [Isaiah 11:1,2,3]

Adding the value of every 7th Hebrew letter in the three verses above yields the total 888 the number of the name Jesus in the Greek New Testament text. See below.

    

Again, it is written:

In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.[Isaiah 4:2]

Adding the total number of all the Hebrew letters in the verse above, totals 3368, the one of the two totals for the phrase "LORD JESUS CHRIST" in the Greek New Testament. If we remove the description "beautiful and glorious" because it is written:
For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
[Isaiah 53:2]
The text then adds up to 3168, the other form of spelling "LORD JESUS CHRIST" in the Greek New Testament text. So amazing, but yet still, there is more. If we take the phrases from the verse of Isaiah 4:2 and add up these phrases in the order they appear, we get:

The branch of Yahweh	= 296
And the Fruit	= 296
Of the Earth	= 296

The Total is 888 the number of the name of Jesus!

This Branch is foretold in the star Al Zimach in the ear of corn in her hand. The seed of promise who would grow into a branch from the root [cut off stump] of Jesse. As it was spoken by Jesus:

And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. [John 12:23,34]

One of the stars in the branch is Al Mureddin which means "who shall come down", or "who shall have dominion." This star also carries the Chaldee name Vindermaitrix which means "the son" or the "branch who comes."

It is written:
The man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD: [Zechariah 6:12]

When we add up the total numerical value of the Hebrew letters in the portion of verse 12 above, the total is 2368, which is the EXACT number of "JESUS CHRIST" in the Greek NT text. What a beautiful confirmation of the one who will rebuild the temple of the LORD. His identity is confirmed in the scriptures themselves by the number of His name.


What does one of the greatest Jewish sages have to say about "the branch"?

Rabbi Moses Maimonides: "What is the manner of Messiah's advent....there shall rise up one of whom none have known before, and signs and wonders which they shall see performed by him will be the proofs of his true origin; for the Almighty, where he declares to us his mind upon this matter, says, 'Behold a man whose name is the Branch, and he shall branch forth out of his place' (Zech. 6:12).

In summary, this sign in the heavens, the Gematria, the ELS "code" and the prophetic scriptures ALL match concerning the seed of woman, and the son who comes. It confirms the man whose name is the branch in the prophecy of Zechariah as none other than the LORD JESUS CHRIST! Praise and Honor and Glory to His Holy name!

Now, let us move on to the first of the "decans" or minor signs associated with this constellation, the decan named "COMA".

The ancient Egyptians called this sign "Shes-nu" meaning "the desired son".

The child has a Hebrew name "Ihesu" with the signification, "Ieza", which in Greek, is called “CHRISTOS” or CHRIST! These are the very words used by the prophets, as it is written:

And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts [Haggai 2:7]

In Luke we read:
And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. [Luke 2:40]

In this particular decan, we can see clearly, how the message of God written for our learning and joy, has become perverted, but we are able to trace the perversion back to it's source, and thereby, give absolute proof of this particular perversion. This decan is not to be found in this form in any modern star map today. It appears that BERENICE, wife of EUERGETES (Ptolemy III) king of Egypt in the third century B.C., when her husband went on a dangerous expedition, vowed to consecrate her hair to the god Venus if he returned safely. Her hair was hung in the temple of Venus, and subsequently stolen, and to comfort Berenice, Conon, an astronomer of Alexandria (B.C 283-222) gave it out that Jupiter had taken the hair, and had made it into a constellation.

The Greeks took the word "Coma" into their own language, and translated the word as "hair", in the Greek, C'o-me. This mistake was carried into the Latin Coma, and therefore, this decan today bears the name Coma Berenice or "BERENICE'S HAIR"! A perfect example of the corruption of the Word of God through ignorance and the perversion of the Gospel message down through time, and the perversion of the signs in the heavens, meant to Glorify God by declaring the message of God's redemption of man, but corrupted into "astrology" and the so called "science" of fortune telling.

In the temple of Denderah, in Egypt, going back to at least 2,000 years B.C., has no trace of any "hair", but has the figure of a woman and child. The illustration above, shows the picture of the temple at Denderah, with no "hair".
As a side note however, I do find it extremely interesting that in the Revelation it is written:
And there appeared a great wonder (sign) in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: [Revelation 12:1]This is the sign of the New Moon or New Jewish Year Tishri
And again, it is written:
But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. [1st Cor. 11:15]
It would seem that God was not surprised by this perversion of one of His heavenly signs.

Even Shakespeare understood the truth about this constellation picture, which has been so long covered by modern inventions. In his Titus Andronicus he speaks of an arrow being shot up to heaven to the "Good boy in Virgo's lap."

The constellation itself is very remarkable. Others contain one or two stars of the first or second magnitude, and then a greater or less variety of lesser stars; but this is peculiar from having no one very bright star, but contains so many stars of the 4th and 5th magnitudes. It contains 43 stars altogether, this itself is remarkable, for the numerical total for the Hebrew word "joy" is 43. As it is written: (Gheel, Joy) = 43

Even more amazing is the fact of the appearance of a "new" star at the time of Jesus' birth, which would have brought the total to 44, which is the Gematria of the Hebrew word for Birth/Child Yeled.
It was in all probability why it was the constellation of Coma in which "the Star of Bethlehem" is said to have appeared. This was a traditional prophecy, well known in the East, carefully preserved and handed down, that a new star would appear in this sign when He whom it foretold should be born.

This was probably the star referred to in the prophecy of Balaam, which would thus receive a double fulfillment, first of the literal "Star," and also of the person to whom it referred. The Lord said by Balaam "There shall come a star out of Jacob, And a scepter shall rise out of Israel." [Numbers 24:17]

Thomas Hyde, an eminent orientalist (1636 – 1703), writing on the ancient religion of the Persians, quotes from ABULFARAGIUS (an Arab Christian Historian, 1226 – 1286), who says that ZOROASTER, or ZERDUSHT, the Persian, was a pupil of Daniel the Prophet, and that he predicted to the Magi (who were the astronomers of Persia), that when they should see a new star appear it would notify the birth of a mysterious child, whom they were to adore. It is further stated in the Zend Avesta that this new star was to appear in the sign of the Virgin. Some have supposed that this passage is not genuine. But whether it was interpolated before or after the event, it is equally good evidence for our purpose here. For if it was written before the event, it is evidenced of the prophetic announcement; and if it was interpolated after the event it is evidence of the historic fact.

New stars have appeared again and again. It was in 125 B.C. that a star, so bright as to be seen in the day time, suddenly appeared. It was this that caused HIPPARCHUS to draw up his catalogue of stars, which has been handed down to us by PTOLEMY (150 A.D.)

This new star would show the latitude, passing at that time immediately overhead at midnight, every twenty-four hours; while the prophecy would give the longitude as the land of Jacob. Having these two factors, it would be only a matter of observation, and easy for the Magi to find the place where it would be vertical, and thus to locate the very spot of the birth of Him of who it was the sign, for they emphatically called it "His Star."

There is a beautiful tradition which relates how, in their difficulty, on their way from Jerusalem to find the actual spot under the Zenith of this star, these Magi sat down beside David's "Well of Bethlehem" to refresh themselves. There they saw the star reflected in the clear water of the well. It had to be directly overhead to be seen reflected at the bottom of the well shaft. And so it is written that "when they saw the star they rejoiced with exceeding joy," for they knew they were at the very spot and place of His appearing whence He was to "come forth."

There can be little doubt that it was a new star. In the first place a new star is no unusual phenomenon. In the second place the tradition is well supported by ancient Christian writers. One speaks of its "surpassing brightness." Another (IGNATIUS, Bp. Of Antioch, A.D. 69) says, "At the appearance of the Lord a star shone forth brighter than all the other stars." IGNATIUS, doubtless, had heard this from those who had actually seen it! PRUDENTIUS (4th cent. A.D.) says that not even the morning star was so fair. Archbishop Trench, who quotes these authorities, says "This star, I conceive, as so many ancients and moderns have done, to have been a new star in the heavens."

These steps place this new star in the constellation of COMA, and with new force, make it indeed "His star" – the "Sign" of His "coming forth from Bethlehem." Could it be "the sign of the Son of Man in heaven" (Matt. 24:30) when He shall "come unto" this world again to complete the wondrous prophecies written of Him in the heavenly and earthly Revelations?

Finally, we see in Coma, the promised seed from woman, a virgin, is a boy, the desired one, nurtured and growing, waxing strong in the Spirit and wisdom of the LORD.

Perhaps, at His return, another star will appear in the constellation of Coma.

Looking at the next constellation or decan we find:

He is despised and rejected of men [Isaiah 53:3a]

The position of this constellation in the zodiac is "raised up" directly above the constellation of Crux or what is called "the Southern CROSS!" Another amazing sign in the heavens.

The brightest star in the fore-foot has come down to us by the ancient name of "Toliman" which means "the heretofore and the hereafter" which marks Him as "the one which was, which is, and which is to come, the Almighty" [Revelation 1:8]

In the Hebrew scriptures, this is I AM THAT I AM and has an amazing Gematria.

Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh = 543

The number 543 also appears in the great prophecy of the Name God chose to identify Himself when He would come to earth in the flesh (Isaiah 7.14):

Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

The exact words written are:
His Name Immanuel Shemu Emmanuel = 543

It is the same Gematria as:
The Name of the LORD, the Everlasting God
Shem YHVH El Olam = 543

By itself, the name Immanuel numerically matches another great title of God:
Immanuel totals 197

And God Most High also totals 197

So in Isaiah 7:14 we have a double Gematria conformation and reference that identifies Immanuel as the Lord God Almighty:

Returning to our study of Centaurus we find that another name for this constellation or decan in ancient Hebrew is "Asmeath", which means the sin-offering, speaking of Isaiah 53:10, which reads:

Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

Beginning with the second Hebrew letter yod in the Hebrew phrase "He shall prolong," "ya'arik Kyray," counting (right to left) forward every 20th letter Ya’akov Rambsel discovered the Phrase "Yeshua Shmi" which means "Yeshua [Jesus] is My Name" encoded in this verse about the suffering Messiah who died to atone for our sins. Mathematicians calculated the probability that this astonishing combination of letters spelling "Yeshua [Jesus] is my name" would occur by random chance in Isaiah is only one chance in 50 quadrillion, an inconceivable number!

Also, as touching Isaiah 53, in the very next verse, verse 11 we have an amazing revelation.

He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.



The total of the Hebrew letters in this verse in Hebrew above is 3168 the same Gematria one of the two possible spellings of Lord Jesus Christ in the Greek New Testament!

Kurios Ihsous Christos

This is very fitting as we return to the Greek name of this decan, "Cheiron", which means "the pierced" or "who pierces".
We are reminded here, of the Prophet Zechariah, who wrote:

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. [Zech. 12:10]

This passage of scripture brings such a great witness to the truth, for the portion of this verse describing one who was pierced, in bold blue type above, totals 2869, which is confirmed by the Gematria of the Greek NT text as THE BODY OF JESUS!

10And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me () whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
Between the "Me" and "whom" is found the Aleph-Tav.*
*Note: See our Teaching article on the first and the last

For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced. And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus. [John 19:36-38a]

The exact words written in the Greek text are:
The Body of Jesus To Soma tou Ihsou

This is the nominative form of the phrase. It coincides exactly with the value of the prophecy given in Zechariah 12.10, which was quoted in John 19:38 above:

We see here the identity of the one pierced:

This total of the Hebrew letters in the second part of the verse of Zech. 12:10 and the total Gematria of the Greek phrase "The Body of Jesus" total 2869, leaving no doubt as to "who" it was that was pierced, also, as does the use of the word, Aleph-Tav, indicating the first and the last, the Aleph and the Tav.

The Word of God is truly amazing, and we should stand in perfect AWE, and FEAR of such a great and powerful God.

The decan of Centaurus is one of the lowest constellations, that is, farthest south from the northern center. It is positioned directly ABOVE the constellation named Crux, or cross, or as we know it, the southern cross. This positioning prophesies EXACTLY, the METHOD of death of the despised sin offering, and EXACTLY HOW, he will destroy the enemy. There is NO guesswork here, you only need the eyes to see.

So in Virgo, we see the promised seed, the man whose name is THE BRANCH, in Coma, we see the promised seed in the form of a son, the desired one, born of a virgin, and nourished and growing strong, filled with the Spirit and wisdom of God. In Centaurus, we see the man having two natures (God and man), the despised sin offering, the pierced one, positioned above the cross, showing the method of His death to come. How all of this fills me with awe and a deep reverence, as I write these things.

Let us continue with the final constellation or decan of the constellation of Virgo.

The star in the tip of the spear in his right hand, is named in ancient Arabic, "Al Katurops", which means "the branch, treading underfoot".

The star just below his waist on his right side is called "Mirac" or "Mizar" or "Izar". Mirac means "the coming forth, as an arrow"; Mizar or Izar means "the preserver, guarding".

The star in his left calf is called "Muphride" meaning "who separates". This is extremely interesting when we consider the text of Matthew chapter twenty-five.

When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 2And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. [Matt. 25:31-33]

Could the "spear" possibly have started out as a shepherd's staff? This get much more exciting when we realize that one of the constellations sitting adjacent to this one, is Ursa Major, erroneously called "the great bear" and "the big dipper". Due to error and mistranslation, the great bear is really the "Greater Sheepfold", and the same with the lesser bear or "little dipper" which is the "lessor" or smaller sheepfold. As indicated by some of the stars names in Ursa Major, such as : "Mizar" or "guarded or enclosed" [place] and "Dubheh" meaning "herd", or "fold". The Arabs still call this constellation "Al Naish" or "An-naish" meaning "the ordered" or "assembled together" as sheep in a fold. The book of Job refers to "Arcturus and his sons" [Job 38:32] to Ash or Aish, and her progeny. The ancient Jewish commentators say that aish here, means, and refers to the seven stars of the Great Bear. This is exciting to me, as I immediately thought of Revelation 2:1. Who holds the seven stars? It is none other than the LORD, Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha Mashiach. The one foretold in the starry heavens by God Himself.

Other star names in the decan of Bootes, the star in his head, is "Nekkar" meaning "the pierced" [recall Zech. 12:10] or it's Hebrew name, "Merga" meaning "who bruses". Finally, the sickle in his left hand shows he is reaping, or harvesting the fruit of his planting.

I have a very interesting theory that I wish to present to you at this point.

But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. 13And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. 15Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. 16Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. John 20:11-16

Spiritually, the two angels in white, one at the head and one at the foot, are very spiritually symbolic of the ark of the covenant, with it's mercy seat, where the blood of the sacrifice was sprinkled.

Second, Mary didn't recognize the risen Jesus in the early half-light, why? Could it be that because he carried a sickle in his hand she supposed him to be the gardener? You see, the LORD rose from the dead on the 17th day Sat 3pm.of the month, on the Feast of First Fruits Sun.9AM.and NOT Easter, which is a Babylonian fertility festival to the goddess "Ishtar" (the true source of the word "Easter"), and it was the duty of the High Priest (the Kohen Ha Gadol) to CUT the FIRST SHEAF of standing Barley grain and present it as a wave-offering before the LORD. Mary, upon HEARING HIS VOICE, recognizes Him (My sheep KNOW MY VOICE) and calls Him, Rabboni, meaning MY MASTER! Jesus was in the process of carrying out this duty of the High Priest and cut the first sheaf of standing barley grain as a wave offering to the Father,Who were the first fruits ?The Many Old Testament Saints that came out of their graves after Jesus Resurrection on Sat. 3PM. He couldnt deliver the First fruits to the Father until 9 AM Sunday"The First day of the week"First fruits was to be Given the First day of the week at the 9 AM sacf.If Mary would have touched him the First fruits and Passover would have been defiled. 

In summary, the constellation Virgo/Betulah, along with her three decans, show the woman, a virgin, and the promised seed that will destroy the enemy. The virgin and her "seed", the kernel of wheat that would fall to the ground and die for us, and in the subsequent decans, the promised son, the desire of all nations, he grows to manhood having two natures (one divine, one human), the despised of men, our sin offering, and in the last decan of Virgo, the coming One, the one who was pierced, the harvester of the righteous seed, the good shepherd, the High Priest. The coming one of the Revelation, who comes to harvest the Earth, and bring judgment to man.

This is but ONLY ONE of the Major constellations that preach the Glory of the redemption of man by God. There are many, many WONDERFUL truths to be found in the constellations and the names of the stars of Heaven, named by God Himself. In all, there are twelve major constellations, and each has along with it, three minor constellations, for a total of forty-eight. It is no surprise then, that the Hebrew, the word for star carries a numerical value of 48: Star

If you think that this is "coincidence" consider the following, by which also we have the total Gematria of 48 :

By him, through him, for it is "by Him and through Him" that we have our redemption and hope.
He is our hope, indeed, and the hope of all Israel. Israel's National anthem is HaTikvah "The Hope"

Majesty, Greatness
He is the Majesty and Greatness, The One True God, in whom we trust

There is more, but space here does not permit. We have only looked at only ONE major constellation along with it's three minor "decans" and the reader may grasp the awesome immensity of the truth of the Word of God. May you be blessed by these truths, and encouraged to develop your own search, for God has promised, as it is written:

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. James 4:8a But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works. Psalm 73:28

Let us draw near to Him, and search out the scriptures for it is written:

It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. Prov.25:2

The LORD is both concealed and revealed in the Holy Scriptures. A diligent student and a loving heart will seek Him out. Finally, I leave you with this word from Jesus Himself:

Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. John 5:39

 

 

The death of Herod

What about the death of Herod as it relates to all this? After all, many scholars have said that king Herod died in 4 BC or 5 BC? Dr. Ernest L. Martin in his book, laboriously goes through each possibility for the death of king Herod and with a number of other scholars, proves that Herod died a couple of weeks after the total lunar eclipse of January 10, 1 BC. He pinpoints the date of death of Herod to about January 29, 1 BC plus or minus a couple of days.

·        Flavius Josephus wrote many details surrounding the death and burial of king Herod in his Jewish Antiquities. He writes that king Herod died shortly after a lunar eclipse.

·        The Lunar eclipse was Jan.10^th.  1BC

·        Herod died a couple of weeks after the total lunar eclipse of January 10, 1 BC

·        The pinpoints the date of Herod’s  death about January 29, 1 BC plus or minus a couple of days.

According to Matthew 2:16 (KJV)  Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.      

·        By this we must assume that Jesus was born sometime in 3 BC.

       3BC     Birth of Jesus  Sept.11  Then  about 7 months latter

1.    2BC         The Wise men came after Passover April 2 BC because the                        word says in   Luke 2:41 (KJV)   Now his  parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.

                                                                                                                                                  2-    1BC   

Herod’s  death about January 29, 1 BC

They are Back for Passover

Conclusion  - They where only gone for a few months not 10 years.

Reign of Tiberius Caesar, Aug 19^th. 14 AD  - 37 AD            Luke 3:1   Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the r egion of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene   His reign began on August 19^th. , A.D. 14.,

 

Jesus Age

 

 

The angel of Yahweh “Gabriel”came to Zacharias

·        Now we must look at another fact about the birth of the Messiah. According to

      Luke 1:24-26, Mary conceived Yahshua in the sixth month of Elizabeths pregnancy   of John the Baptist. This means that Yahshua was born 15 months latter. The angel of Yahweh “Gabriel” came to Zacharias while he was performing his duties in the Temple and informed him that his wife would bear a son.

·        According to Luke 1:5 Zacharias was a priest of the divison of “ABIJAH” it tells us in Luke 1:8 that Gabriel came to him while he was serving as in the Temple.

We know from the Talmud and also other sources that the division of the Abijah served as priests during the second half of the fourth Jewish calander month. This would have been in June. Fifteen months later would put the birth of the Messiah during the Fall Feast of Trumpets “Rosh Hashanah”

 

The Encyclopedia Brittanica shows that the average human gestation period for a female child is 266-267 days, and 270-271 days for a male child. That means that we can pre-calculate the expected day of conception when Mary became pregnant. So this would mean that if one went back in time from Tishri 1    271 days then one would come up with 25 Kislev which was   Erev 1 of Hanukkah or in the evening of December 13, 4 BC. Our criteria has been met now, where the conception of Mary was shown to be 271 days prior to the birth date.

·         

·        His conception not his birth would have occurred in December   (Dec.13, 4 BC).      ( His Birth Sept.11 3BC)

·        Haggai 2:18-19 (KJV)   Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the Lord's temple was laid, consider it. [19] Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.

·        This was a prophecy of the conception of Jesus after the 24^th. of Kislev  which would be the 25^th. of the 9^th. month  Kislev  the seed of the Messiah would be in the womb.

 

·We can take the Prophecy of Dan. 9:24-24 to find the exact date Jesus would be delclared King of the Jews on Palm Sunday

         

 

Jesus Death                                                                                                                   

  We must go from Sept 11,3BC to April 6, 32 A.D.,= 33 YRS 6 Months 25 days OLD at his death.                                                                                                                             

 

 Bible Code

·       Conception  -

It seems that the Angel Gabriel visited Mary on Kislev 22 in 3758 (December 11, 4 BC), and announced to her that she would conceive and bear a child by the power of the Ruach Hakodesh (Holy Spirit).  However, the conception didn't take place until December 13, 4 BC Evening 1 of Hanukkah, which begins on the 25th of Kislev every year

·       Brit Milah

the date of 8 Tishri and the year 3759 (September 18, 3 BC).Seven days prior  would be Sept.11-3BC

.

 Feast Of Tabernacles

After his birth Feast of Tabernacles “

John 1:14 (KJV)  And the Word was made flesh, “Jesus was born”  

and dwelt among us, “ after his birth he “ skay-no'-o; Tabernacled with them”                                                     

  (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

 

Therefore, it would have been difficult to find a room at the inn anytime during the fall feast days. –

The decree

Luke 2:1-2 (KJV) And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.

Shepherds Tending Sheep

The temperature in the area of Bethlehem in December averages around 44 degrees Fahrenheit (7 degrees Celsius) but can drop to well below freezing, especially at night.                                                                                                        "Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields," wrote one Gospel writer, "keeping watch over their flock by night" (Luke 2:8). A common practice of shepherds was keeping their flocks in the field from April to October, but in the cold and rainy winter months they took their flocks back home and sheltered them.

 

 

Now we must look at another fact about the birth of the Messiah.

When were shepherds in the fields?  Israeli meteorologists tracked December weather patterns for many years and concluded that the climate in Israel has been essentially constant for at least the last 2,000 years. The Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible states that, "broadly speaking, weather phenomena and climatic conditions as pictured in the Bible correspond with conditions as observed today" (R.B.Y. Scott, Vol. 3, Abingdon Press, Nashville, 1962, p. 625).The temperature in the area of Bethlehem in December averages around 44 degrees Fahrenheit (7 degrees Celsius) but can drop to well below freezing, especially at night. Describing the weather there, Sara Ruhin, chief of the Israeli weather service, noted in a 1990 press release that the area has three months of frost: December with 29 F. [minus 1.6 C.]; January with 30 F. [minus 1.1 C.] and February with 32 F. [0 C.].Snow is common for two or three days in Jerusalem and nearby Bethlehem in December and January. These were the winter months of increased precipitation in Christ's time, when the roads became practically unusable and people stayed mostly indoors. This is important evidence to disprove a December date for Christ's birth. Note that, at the time of Christ's birth, the shepherds tended their flocks in the fields at night. "Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields," wrote one Gospel writer, "keeping watch over their flock by night" (Luke 2:8). A common practice of shepherds was keeping their flocks in the field from April to October, but in the cold and rainy winter months they took their flocks back home and sheltered them. One commentary admits that, "as these shepherds had not yet brought home their flocks, it is a presumptive argument that October had not yet commenced, and that, consequently, our Lord was not born on the 25th of December, when no flocks were out in the fields; nor could He have been born later than September, as the flocks were still in the fields by night. On this very ground the nativity in December should be given up.

The feeding of the flocks by night in the fields is a chronological fact, which casts considerable light upon this disputed point" (Adam Clarke's Commentary, Abingdon Press, Nashville, note on Luke 2:8).We have to also understand that the Messiah would have been baptized by John when he was almost 30 and this would not have taken place in the winter.

Birth of Yahshua Bible Code by Roy A. Reinhold February 1, 2001 Is their a Bible code that can identify the exact day of Yahshua's birth (Jesus), since a ton of books and articles have been written forwarding different views and theories. The traditional day celebrated in the church is December 25, 1 BC, although that day wasn't designated until about 360 AD. All the ante-nicene church fathers did not specify in their writings, the exact day that Yahshua (Jesus) was born.The following multi-part article complements the 2-part article on this website called, The Pagan Aspects of Christmas. In that article, there is evidence from the calculated possible birth date of John the baptist (Yochanan the Immerser), that he was born around Passover at the Feast of unleavened Bread in the spring of the year. Since John the baptist was 6 months older than Yahshua (Jesus), that would place the birth of Yahshua in the fall of the year around Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement), plus or minus 3 weeks. Using the Bible code, the test was to see if Yahshua was born in the fall of the year around the time of the fall feasts of Israel, or whether He was born on December 25.

This multi-part article will present multiple Bible code matrices and other scholarship to show that with a fair degree of certainty, we can specify the exact day the angel Gabriel visited Miriam (Mary) and announced that she would bear a child conceived by the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), the exact day Mary conceived the child, the exact day of the birth of Yahshua, and the exact day Mary and Joseph took the child to the Temple on the 8th day to dedicate the firstborn with the necessary sacrifice and perform the Brit Milah (circumcision). The matrices shown are all different views of the same overall matrix. In other words, the overall matrix has everything in it related to the conception and birth of Yahshua.In beginning the process, I was predisposed to believe that the Bible code would show Yahshua's birth on a feast day. The fall feast days of Israel are as follows.Rosh Hashanah (Yom Teruah, or Feast of Trumpets), occurs on 1 Tishri in the jewish calendar.
Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), occurs on 10 Tishri in the jewish calendar.
Succot (Feast of Tabernacles), starts on 15 Tishri and runs for 7 days, where the 15th and 21st are annual Sabbath days.Why was I predisposed to believe it would fall on a feast day of Israel? In the gospel of Luke, it states the following:

Luke 2:1-7Now it came about in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all earth

This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all were proceeding to register for the census, everyone to his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem (actually, Beit Lechem), because he was of the house and family of David; in order to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and who was with child. And it came about that while they were there, the days were completed for her to give birth. .And she gave birth to her first-born son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger (feeding trough), because there was no room for them in the inn.What I wanted you to see are 3 clues necessary to sort out this process of looking for exact date of Yahshua's birth. One, they left Nazareth and went to Bethlehem to register for the census, because both Mary and Joseph were descended from king David along different family lines. The birth took place in Bethlehem. Secondly, the days were completed for her to give birth, which tells us that the child was born at the correct gestation time.

The Encyclopedia Brittanica shows that the average human gestation period for a female child is 266-267 days, and 270-271 days for a male child. That will come into play in pre-calculating the expected day of conception when Mary became pregnant. Thirdly, it states that there was no room at the inn (motel for you modern folks).I would have guessed that the day of birth of Yahshua was on one of the feast days, because there was no room at the inn. Bethlehem is only 3-5 miles south of Jerusalem, and during the fall feast days, jewish people from all over the world would arrive ahead of time and overflow into the surrounding towns. According to the scriptures, all Israel was only required to appear before the Lord at the Temple 3 times a year (Passover, Shavuot or Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles). However, because they didn't have airplanes, trains, and cars then, jewish people from other countries would arrive early and be there for Rosh Hashanah through Succot (a 3 week period).

 Therefore, it would have been difficult to find a room at the inn anytime during the fall feast days.Specifically, John 1:14 led me to believe that the birth of Yahshua was probably on the 15th of Tishri,

 the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles; where it says, "And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us." I believed that I would most likely find 15 Tishri going into this process, but that IS NOT the day of birth of Yahshua.The matrix I used has a center term at an equidistant letter spacing (ELS) of 19 letters. The center term is khag hamolad (holiday of the Nativity, chet gimel--hey mem vav lamed dalet), a term often falsely stated as christmas, but literally it means holiday of the Nativity. The matrix is only 19 letters wide, but is probably a couple of hundred rows high. This is obviously a 3D matrix spread out in 2D format. In other words, it would actually be a cube where the center panel has the center term and panels above the center panel would go in front of the center panel, and those below would go behind the center panel.and those below would go behind the center panel. The reason is that Hebrew is read from right to left and top to bottom.

I should mention that if we were only looking for one date (the actual birth date of Yahshua), it would be very difficult to try and prove one date in a matrix, even with day-month-year. However, since we know from the scriptures that we have 3 dates that all have to be shown and are related in a tight way, it is more conclusive.

 

We know there is a date for the day Yahshua was born. From that date, we must see a date of conception exactly 270-271 days prior to the birth date. Finally, the scriptures say that the Brit Milah (dedication and circumcision) took place on the 8th day following the birth. Since we have at least 3 specific dates that are inter-related, if all show up, then we have much more certainty that we have found the exact dates for all of them.

:

1. Announcement to Mary--took place on 22 Kislev 3758, which was December 10/11, 4 BC.

2. Mary Conceived the Child by the Holy Spirit--took place on the end of 24 Kislev, beginning of 25 Kislev in the evening, in the year 3758, which was December 13, 4 BC. This was the beginning of Hanukkah.

3. Birth of Yahshua in Bethlehem--took place on 1 Tishri in 3759 (Rosh Hashanah), which was September 11, 3 BC.

4. Brit Milah at the Temple--took place on 8 Tishri in 3759, which was September 18, 3 BC.

Is there additional scholarship to support the above scenario? A friend wrote to me as I was working on the above Bible code matrixes and suggested the work by Dr. Ernest L. Martin. I ordered his book, and in the last section of this multi-part article will relate what Dr. Martin shows in his book related to signs in the sky and the real date of death of king Herod. Needless to say, Dr. Martin's work agrees 100% with the scenario above.

The appointed time of the Messiah was to be during the Feast of Trumpets when one would come preaching Repentence

 

We can also must look at the Time John the Baptist was Baptizing and what he was saying.

Matthew 3:1-3 (KJV) 

    In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, [2] And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. [3] For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

 

The Feast of Trumpets was a time of calling for repentence.

The Jews knew that one would come Baptizing in water and it would be just before and/or during the Feast of Trumpets,

This is why we see in scripture

John 1:19-28 (KJV) 

    And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? [20] And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ. [21] And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. [22] Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? [23] He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. [24] And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. [25] And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet? [26] John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; [27] He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose. [28] These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

Tishri 1         the birth of the Messiah “Christ”

1st We must understand what Dec.25^th.stands for!

Here are the Sun gods that are and was worshipped on their birthday Dec.25^th. “their birthday”  in every culture same god different name.

John 4:20 (KJV)  Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

Mt. Gerizim About 332 B.C. Sanballet, governor of Samaria under the Persians, and who opposed Israel under Nehemiah (Neh. 4:7-13:28), went over to the side of Alexander the Great who gave him permission to build a temple on Mt. Gerizim like the one in Jerusalem.  He built it for his son-in-law, Manasseh, and made him High Priest.  The Samaritans established rival worship to Jerusalem and mingled the pagan sun-god worship along with the Pentateuch as their Torah . (2Kings 17:1-41) The other controversy between Jews and Samaritans was whether to worship on Gerizim or Moriah.  Since Christ's words proved Him to be a prophet, the woman seized upon the opportunity to have this question answered.

2 Kings 17:29-34 (KJV)  Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt. 30And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, sook-kohth' ben-ohth'; idolatrous tents for impure purposes :- and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima, 31And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.

32So they feared the Lord, and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.

33They feared the Lord, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.

34Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the Lord, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the Lord commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;

Where did this sun god worship begin?

We have to go back to the time of Noah when Noah cursed Canaan.

 Genesis 9:25 (KJV)   And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

It was Canaans seed that would be cursed and Cananns had a son who’s name was Nimrod and he was a great hunter.

Genesis 10:9 (KJV)   He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.

The Apocrophy of Jasher tells us in Jasher 9:24-30 That Ham the grand-father of Nimrod stole from Noah the Garments of the skins that Eloheem “God” made for Adam and gave them to his son cush who gave them to Nimrod. When Nimrod  put on the garments he became mighty and strong and became a great hunter.

We can also read in the book of Jasher which is spoken of twice in the Bible “Joshua 10:13 ; 2Samuel 1:18 ”   that Nimrod became the king of the known world He was king of Shinar or Babylon. He became evil and began to worship sun and Idols. Then as he became more powerful he set up himself to be worshipped. It is said that Shem Noahs son killed Nimrod and scattered his bones over many different countries. You would think this would stop the worship of Nimrod as a god but at Nimrod’s death his wife Symaramis claimed that he acceded to heaven and became the Sun and that everyone was to worship Nimrod as the sun god. Then she became pregnant and claimed that she was inpregnated by the rays of the sun or by Nimrod. She bare a son on Dec.25^th who she named Tammuz. She then said he was the reincarnated Nimrod. Then the people began worshiping Tammuz and the sun. It just so happened that Tammuz was killed by a wild boar at the age of forty“ a god should not be able to be killed so you would think this would end the worship of Tammuz as god,but Symaramis claimed that he again accended to heaven and became the sun. Then came the 40 days of weeping for Tammuz. “which is symbolic of his death at the age of 40 ” In the Chaldean calendar there was a month set apart in honour of this god, the month of June to July, the beginning of the summer solstice. At this festival, which lasted six days, the worshippers, with loud lamentations, bewailed the funeral of the god, they sat "weeping for Tammuz" (Ezek. 8:14). we can see the worship of the sun and Tammuz in Ezekiel 8:13-16 (KJV)  

He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do. 14Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. 15Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.

16And he brought me into the inner court of the Lord's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.

 

 

After the death of Tammuz  Symaramis claimed to be a goddess and that after her death she would come back in the form of an Egg.

So legend has it that after her death a bird carrying a large egg of wondrous size fell from heaven into the river Euphrates; the fish rolled it to the bank, where doves settled upon it and hatched it; and out came Astarte, or Ishtar “Easter”, the bare breasted goddess of fertility.." This is where we get the pagan holidays Easter, Christmas, Lady Day, Lent, and other Babylonian festivals which were all borrowed from this religion and were all observed centuries before Christ. None of them have any relationship to Christ or Christianity.

What the priest of the sun god worshipers would do is they would take Virgin maids and inpregnate them on the alters of the sun gods on easter Sunday and the following year when the infant was three months old they would take some of the babies and kill them then they would use their blood to paint the eggs for easter. Then they would put some of them on the Golden calf alters into the outreached arms of the sun god. They then would burn them as a sacrifice to their sun god.

We can see the name of the barebreasted goddes of fertility in

Acts 12:4 (KJV)  

And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.

This will tell you how Pagan sun god worship had already entered into the church because of the miss-interpretation of the Greek word Pascha which means Passover not Easter.  [Easter] Greek: pascha (GSN-3957), the Passover, as translated in 26 other places (Matthew 26:2-19; Mark 14:1-16; Luke 2:41; Luke 22:1-15; John 2:13,23; John 6:4; John 11:55; John 12:1; John 13:1; John 18:28,39; John 19:14; 2 Cor. 5:7; Hebrews
11:28).  This is an unfortunate and absurd translation, as Easter was a pagan festival
observed long before Christ.  It is not a Christian name, but is derived from Ishtar, one
of the Babylonian titles of an idol goddess, the Queen of Heaven.  The Saxon goddess
Eastre is the same as the Astarte, the Syrian Venus, called Ashtoreth in the Old
Testament. It was the worship of this woman by Israel that was such an abomination to
God (1 Samuel 7:3; 1 Kings 11:5,33; 2 Kings 23:13; Jeremiah 7:18; Jeremiah 44:18). 
Round cakes, imprinted with the sign of the cross were made at this festival, the sign
being, in the Babylonian mysteries, a sign of life.  Easter eggs which play a great part
in this day's celebration were common in all heathen nations. The cross also was part of the ritual of sun god worshipers and this is the reason Yahshua “Jesus” was crucified on the cross because the Romans sacrificed him to Mithra the Roman sun god. This was one of the ways to sacrifice to their sun god. This Goddess was primarily worshipped on Easter Sunday. The people would take infant babies, kill them and then paint the eggs with the blood of the slain infants. Then they would burn the infants on their alters.

This is practiced every Passover or christains call it Easter in the church except with paint instead of blood “same ritual different way”. These altars and sanctuaries were located on high places—even the summits of high mountains—in order to get the first view of the rising sun, the last of the setting sun.

The sun was believed to be the source and emblem of all life and the generative power of nature.Easter is the same as  Ashtaroth (plural) or Ashtoreth (singular), the Canaanites' principal female deity who was supposedly embodied in the moon which was named Ashtoreth  (Judges 2:13; Judges 10:6; 1 Samuel 7:3-4; 1 Samuel 12:10; 1 Samuel 31:10; 1 Kings 11:5,33; 2 Kings 23:13). She was typically portrayed as a naked woman occasionally with a crescent moon on her brow. Ashtoreth was also the Egyptian Isis, the Babylonian and Assyrian Ishtar, the Greek Aphrodite and the Roman Venus. Thus, as a goddess of sexual passion and fertility, she was worshiped with the most perverted forms of sexual immorality. Doves were often considered sacred to her. What did the sun god images look like? We can see them as the Golden calf, god ofbackslidden Israel  (1 Kings 12:28-32; 2 Kings 10:29; 2 Kings 17:16; 2 Chron. 11:15; 2 Chron. 13:8; Hosea 8:5-6; Hosea 10:5; Hosea 13:2) His likeness was a statue of Bronze or gold,his head resembled a calf and he was seated on a throne of brass ; his head crowned and his arms extended as if to embrace all to be sacrificedThe statue was heated red hot by fire inside and children were shaken over the flames and passed through the hot arms in dedication to it, to receive the sun gods favor.These children were actually burned alive in this  idol .It seems that King Ahaz was dedicated to Molech (2 Kings 16:3,19-20; 2 Chron. 28:3).  Yahshua “Jesus” tells us in

 

 Deut. 12:30-32 (KJV)  Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them,[ Don’t follow after them in any way] after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. 31Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God: for every abomination to the Lord, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods. [ Sacrificed their children to the sun god on the golden calf alters ] 32What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. We have to serve God the way he tells us too in the word and not to try an honor him in the customs and the ways of the Pagan sun god worshipers.

Jeremiah 10:1-5 (KJV)  Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: 2Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen,[ Don’t learn the way of the heathern and follow their traditions ] and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. 3For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 4They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. 5They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. [is this what we would call a Christmas tre or a tree made into an Idol?] Was Yahshua born on Dec.25^th. absolutely not.  2 Kings 17:6-41 (KJV)  In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.

7For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods, 8And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.

2 Kings 17:9And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the Lord their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city. 10And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree: 11And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the Lord carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the Lord to anger: 12For they served idols, whereof the Lord had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing. [ We should have no part of their type of worship even if it has been a holiday or tradition] 13Yet the Lord testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets. [ when anyone speaks out against any abomination  in most cases people will not receive but will rebel ] 14Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the Lord their God. 15And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the Lord had charged them, that they should not do like them. [ We are commanded not to do like them in any way ]  16And they left all the commandments of the Lord their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, [ the stars ]  and served Baal.[ The Assyrian sun god,Baal is just another name for Tammuz, same god different culture and different name ]  17And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, [Dedicated them to Baal for the work of his ministry] and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger. 18Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only. [ The reason for Israel being scattered and the spirit of Yahweh “the Lord” leaving the Ark of the covenant Eze.18  is because of this worship of the sun god.] 19Also Judah kept not the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made. 20And the Lord rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight. [ Then Judah fell just as Israel did into sun god worship] 21For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the Lord, and made them sin a great sin. 22For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them; 23Until the Lord removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.

24And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof. [ All of these peoples worshiped the same god just different name. ] 

25And so it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the Lord: therefore the Lord sent lions among them, which slew some of them.

 

 

2Kings 17:26 Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land. 27Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land. 28Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the Lord. 29Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt. 30And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, [ Tents for sexual perversion ] and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima, 31And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim. [ All of these are the same god just with a different name and culture the same ritual was practiced for them all they sacrificed children to their god or they dedicated children for the work of their god by just passing them through the fire.] 32So they feared the Lord, and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places. [ They took the lowest of  them for priests  and taught how to worship Yahweh and also how to worship the sun god “mingling”the two and making a great abomination to Yahweh “the Lord” see following verse as well ]  33They feared the Lord, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence. 34Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the Lord, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the Lord commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel; 35With whom the Lord had made a covenant, and charged them saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them: 36But the Lord, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice. 37And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods. 38And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods. 39But the Lord your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies. 40Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner. 41So these nations feared the Lord, and served their graven images, [served  aw-bad'; a primitive root; to work (in any sense); by implication to serve, till, (causative) enslave, etc. :- × be, keep in bondage, be bondmen, bond-service, compel, do, dress, ear, execute, + husbandman, keep, labour (-ing man), bring to pass, (cause to, make to) serve (-ing, self), (be, become) servant (-s), do (use) service, till (-er), transgress [from margin], (set a) work, be wrought, worshipper.

Yahshua Messiah was born Tishri 1 /Sept,11 3BC. During the Feast of Trumpets “Rosh Hashana””see  the birth of the Messiah” which was a shadow picture of the atonement .He was the atonement in the flesh the sacrificial  lamb. .

He was also baptized by John the Baptist during the Feast of Trumpets, which was his 30^th. Birthday. This is when the Holy Spirit  came upon Yahshua and this    was done as a shadow picture so we will get baptized after our salvation. Then he was crucified on Passover ; which was another shadow picture. “see The Ark Revealed”. John the Baptist was born 6 months prior to Messiah during the Spring Feast of Unleaveved Bread of  which was a shadow picture of the calling to repentance “the forerunner” for the Day of Atonement “Yahshua Messiah”.This means that Yahshua was conceived during Hanukkah “celebration of the building of the Temple”  Kislev 25/Dec.13,4 BC..This was a shadow picture of Yashua who is the Temple. Yahshua will come for His Bride on the Day of Atonement which is also a shadow picture of the Old and New Covenent .“see the first resurrection”The Tribulation of  7 years will also end on the day of Atonement which will be Jubilee ,when all Israel will be saved an instant just before Armageddon.

Then the Feast of Succoth will be fulfilled  5 days after the Day of Atonement  which will be during the 1,000

year reign of  Messiah  “see the Tribulation chart “

Now we must look at the birth of the Messiah. According to Luke 1:24-26, Mary conceived Yahshua in the sixth month of Elizabeths pregnancy of John the Baptist. This means that Yahshua was born 15 months latter.The angel of Yahweh “Gabriel”came to Zacharias while he was performing his duties in the Temple

 and informed him that his wife would bear a son.

·         According to Luke 1:5 Zacharias was a priest of the divison of “ABIJAH” it tells us in Luke 1:8 that Gabriel came

      to him while he was serving “as Priest” in the Temple.

·         We know from the Talmud and also other sources that the division of the Abijah served as priests during the

      second half of the fourth Jewish calander month. This would have been in June. Fifteen months later would put

      the birth of the Messiah during the Fall Feast of Trumpets “Rosh Hashana”  “for more

       “see the birth of the Messiah”

·         His conception not his birth would have occurred in December. 

Since Yahshua “Jesus” was born Tishri 1 Rosh Hashana During the Feast of Trumpets ,then he was baptized  during the same time. So he began his ministry on the day of atonement and ended it on passover All the Feast of Yahweh will be fulfilled literally on the exact Time-hour, day, Month and Year just as the shadow pictures fortell. Just as Yahshua Messiah fulfilled the Passover Feast “see the fulfillment of the Passover”

 

First, I want to show you the center of the overall matrix (ELS 19), which has the term "khag hamolad" (holiday of the Nativity) in red and above it "ranu ami" (Sing or Rejoice, My people). The area of the matrix with the date of birth information on Yeshua (Jesus) is below the center area of the overall matrix, so it is good to look at the center of the matrix and have a perspective.

Center of the overall matrix

Note that I turned off all other terms in the matrix from the display, so that you could see the center of the overall matrix without any clutter. Ranu ami (Sing or Rejoice, My people) is read in green from top to bottom, while khag hamolad (holiday of the Nativity) is read in red from bottom to top. That's why the matrix report above shows the holiday of the Nativity term in the report at a skip or ELS of -19, while Sing (Rejoice), My People has a +19 skip or ELS. That's kind of basic Bible codes knowledge for viewers who are unfamiliar with the Bible code. What is significant is that these terms are vertical in the same line and near each other, and they set the topic for the overall matrix.

For people new to the Bible code, the R-value in the matrix in the above report is a statistical measure of significance on a log 10 scale. An R-value of 0.0 means there is a 50-50 chance of the term showing up in a matrix this size, negative R-values mean that the term is likely to show up in the matrix by chance (shorter terms), while higher positive R-values show little likelihood that this is by chance. An R-value of +1.0 is a 1 chance in 10, +2.0 is 1 chance in 100, +3.0 is 1 chance in 1000, +6.0 is 1 chance in a million, and so on because it is on a log 10 scale. This is a rough way to calculate the odds, although we won't go into statistical calculations in this article. I only point this out because it is in the matrix report above.

The overall matrix was first discovered by researchers at Bible Code Digest http://www.biblecodedigest.com, (Ed Sherman, Dr. Nathan Jacobi, and Dave Swaney) although they hadn't sorted out all the information when I decided to look and see if we could determine the actual birthdate of Yeshua from the matrix. Bible Code Digest puts out a monthly newsletter on the Bible code at a very modest price, at the website above.

The Yeshua (Jesus) Birth Matrix Report

I'll show part of the matrix below, but for most people, the above matrix report is easier to handle in analyzing what is in the matrix, because you have the terms in Hebrew and in English.

What it shows is that Yeshua (Jesus) was born on Rosh Hashanah (head of the year), which is also called Yom Teruah (day of blowing) and in English the Feast of Trumpets. It's also Rosh Khodesh which means the head of the month. Rosh Hashanah occurs on the 1st of Tishri every year in the jewish calendar, and is in the fall of the year. The matrix shows that the birth occurred in the jewish year 3759, which is the fall of 3 BC. In 3 BC, the 1st of Tishri occurred on September 11, 3 BC. With the matrix showing Rosh Hashanah, Yom Teruah, Rosh Khodesh, and "on 1 Tishri", it is clearly showing 1 Tishri as the exact day of Yeshua's birth.

The matrix shows that Joseph (Yosef) and Mary (Miriam or Miryam) were in Bethlehem (Beit Lechem) and stayed in a succah, a stable. Yeshua the Messiah came from heaven, to the earth, and His name is Wonderful, and Counselor, and the Son of Man. The manger or feeding trough is mentioned where Mary laid the baby after the birth. The Ruach Hakodesh (Holy Spirit) was present and the shepherds came to pay homage. It mentions the angels who announced the birth to the shepherds, and the star in the sky announcing His birth.

All the details from the gospels are present and there is probably much more in this matrix than I have shown, since it didn't take me too long to develop it as is. Have we proven that Yeshua was born exactly on September 11, 3 BC? No, because if the matrix doesn't have the conception 270-271 days prior to September 11, 3 BC, then it didn't meet the criteria showing all the aspects surrounding Yeshua's conception and birth. If we count up the days from January 1 to September 11 in 3 BC (a non leap year, because 4 AD is a leap year which would make 1 BC a leap year), then we get 254 days. That means 18 days backwards in December of 4 BC, should be the exact date of the conception (December has 31 days). Our target should then be December 13, 4 BC for the date of the conception based on a 271 day average human gestation period for male babies. I should mention that the Hebrew word for pregnancy is "herayon" (hey resh yud vav nun). Since Hebrew letters also have numerical values it would be as follows:

hey=5, resh=200, yud=10, vav=6, nun=50; or total=5+200+10+6+50=271

OK, first take a quick look at the matrix below (it'll look cluttered to you), and then on to the next section showing the date of the announcement to Mary by the angel and the subsequent conception by the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh). I think you'll be happy to know that it agrees with out calculation above.

The matrix above is cluttered, but if you were to trace the letters, you would see things like Ruach and HaKodesh crossing, Angels and Star crossing, Rosh and Khodesh crossing, Rosh and Hashanah crossing, manger and succah (stable) crossing, and other related terms crossing or closely parallel, or close together. It's better to look in the matrix report and see what is there.

Is there scriptural support for Yeshua (Jesus) being born on the 1st of Tishri? Yes, in 1 Corinthians 15:45 it says in talking about Yeshua, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit." In 1 Corinthians 15:22, it states, "For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ (the Messiah) all shall be made alive." Yeshua is the second Adam, and the rabbi's have long taught that Adam's birthdate was on 1 Tishri. So it is no coincidence that the second Adam has the same exact birth date.

Let's go on part 3 and look at the announcement and conception.

We've gotten to the point where we are looking for corroberation for the 1 Tishri, 3759 birth date for Yeshua (September 11, 3 BC) by investigating whether the matrix also has the angelic announcement to Mary and the conception. The conception should be 270-271 days prior to the birth, or ~December 13, 4 BC. The matrix report follows:

As you can see above, the sub-matrix area on the conception tells quite a story. It shows that the year is 3758 (4 BC), and something surprising showed up. In looking for all possible dates for Kislev in the matrix area, it came up with 22 Kislev, plus it showed the evening 1 of Hannukah as a date. These are both in 3758 (4 BC). I would have guessed that the angelic announcement to Mary and the conception took place together, but that is not the case.

It seems that the Angel Gabriel visited Mary on Kislev 22 in 3758 (December 11, 4 BC), and announced to her that she would conceive and bear a child by the power of the Ruach Hakodesh (Holy Spirit). However, the conception didn't take place until Evening 1 of Hanukkah, which begins on the 25th of Kislev every year. Hanukkah is the Festival of Lights and commemorates the Maccabees victory over Antiochus Epiphanes and the Syrians. They liberated Jerusalem and the Temple Mount and lighted the menorah in the holy place of the Temple, with just enough oil for one day and it burned for 8 days. Hanukkah commemorates that miraculous cleansing of the Temple and the 8 days the menorah was lighted supernaturally.

The matrix shows that as 24 Kislev was ending and 25 Kislev beginning, marking the beginning of Hanukkah, that the power of the Holy Spirit came upon Mary and she conceived. That day was December 13, 4 BC, when Mary conceived and became pregnant with Yeshua. The matrix shows that Mary was a virgin (bethulah). Her child was Yeshua the Messiah who came from heaven to earth. Joseph and Mary lived in Nazareth of the Galilee.

Erev 1 of Hanukkah is more specific than just saying 25 Kislev, since it pinpoints the time to a few hours in the evening of December 13, 4 BC. Our criteria has been met now, where the conception of Mary was shown to be 271 days prior to the birth date. The bonus was in finding out the date that the angel made the announcement to Mary, which was a couple of days prior to the conception. What we'll need to look at now, is whether the Brit Milah (first-born dedication and circumcision) at the Temple was on the 8th day following the birth of Yeshua.

First, a quick look at the matrix below, followed by a few comments on matrix design.

One thing you'll notice is that there are many parallel terms, but the letters seem to be spread out somewhat in the matrix. The reason for this goes back to my comment in part 1, where I said that this was a 3D matrix, but that we would have to show it in flattened 2D format. Many of the terms appear at around 304 or double that of 608. This is indication of the cutoff size for each pane in the 3D cube. 304 divided by our matrix ELS of 19 gives us 16. We forward the view that this matrix in 3D would have individual panes with the size of 16 rows by 19 columns. At that size, a term at 304 would be a horizontal term from front to back with one letter on each pane in the 3D cube, while 608 would be a horizontal term from front to back in the cube, but with a letter on every other pane. Plus or minus 19 from 304 and 608 would give us additional diagonal terms in the 3D cube. I realize that some of you cannot easily picture this in your mind, but for those who can, it is prima facie evidence for a 3D matrix.

CodeFinder: Millennium Edition Bible code software was used for all the matrixes shown in this multi-part article. It is the number 1 ranked codes program, and hopefully in the future we will venture into actually building a 3D codes program.

Let's go to the next matrix which shows the Brit Milah at the Temple, and you'll find that matrix much simpler to view and understand.

Part 4, Brit Milah at the Temple on the 8th Day

.

The events at the Temple on the 8th day following the birth of Yeshua in a succah (stable) in Bethlehem, are an important aspect to show with a high degree of certainty that the Bible code shows the correct dating for all mentioned events. We have shown that the angel visited Mary and announced that she would conceive and bear a child by the power of the Holy Spirit. This event occurred on 22 Kislev 3758 (December 10/11, 4 BC). I show the 10th and 11th, because the day ran from evening to evening rather than from midnight to midnight as we reckon time with the Gregorian calendar.

Next, Mary was a virgin, and conceived by the power of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit). The conception took place at the very beginning of Kislev 25, the first day of Hanukkah, the festival of lights. In the matrix this is shown by multiple occurrences of erev 1 or evening 1. That conception took place on December 13, 4 BC in the evening, which is exactly what we pre-calculated based on the 270-271 average human gestation for a male child.

We know that there was no extra month of Adar II in the jewish year 3758, because 1 Tishri started the next year and it occurred on September 11 in 3 BC. If there had been an extra month, then 1 Tishri would have been in early October for 3 BC. This is important for showing that the conception took place on the first evening of Hanukkah. The same sequence was repeated in the jewish calendar a couple of years ago. In 1999, Rosh Hashanah occurred on September 11, 1999 (1 Tishri 5760). Any jewish calendar you look at will show that going back 270-271 days takes you to December 13, 1998, which was evening 1 of Hanukkah on Kislev 25. You don't need to look at ancient events, but just compare the jewish calendar in 1998 and 1999 and the dates were exactly the same in the civil calendar as in 4 BC and 3 BC.

Is there a Bible scripture that would lead us to believe that we have the date correct for the conception? Perhaps there is an allusion to a prophecy in Haggai 2:18-19

Do consider from this day onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month (24 Kislev), from the day when the temple of the Lord was founded, consider: Is the seed yet in the barn? Even including the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree, it has not borne fruit. Yet from this day on I will bless you.

Sometimes we wonder why the scriptures were so specific in citing day and month for an event. The prophet spoke, "Is the seed yet in the barn?" Perhaps this is an allusion to a future event when the true vine, the root of the olive tree, the heavenly fig tree, would be conceived as a human being. The seed in the barn can be an allusion to pregnancy. As the 24th of Kislev was ending and the 25th of Kislev beginning, Mary conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit. The seed was in the barn, and a blessing for the world was here from that day onwards.

Let's go on to the Brit Milah matrix.

I kept the above matrix report simplistic so that you can quickly see that the people mentioned in Luke 2:21-39, were there at the Temple. Shim'on the tzaddik is there (Simeon the rightous and devout man, verse 25), along with Khannah (Hannah the prophetess, the daughter of Penuel). Brit and Milah are at the same exact ELS only 4 columns apart and crossed by meelah for circumcision. Miryam is there (Mary), and you might ask, where is Joseph? It's there but is one of those terms that crosses at a higher ELS so I left it out to make it all simpler looking. Yeshua and Messiah are there in the matrix, and most importantly the date of 8 Tishri and the year 3759 (September 18, 3 BC).

I should admit that there is probably much more in this matrix, but I hadn't spent too much time on it yet, because it already shows exactly what we need to know. The entire scenario surrounding the announcement, conception, birth, and Brit Milah at the Temple has been shown to all be in one Bible code matrix. The dates are tightly interwoven and show what occurs. Let's summarize all that we have:

1. Announcement to Mary--took place on 22 Kislev 3758, which was December 10/11, 4 BC.

2. Mary Conceived the Child by the Holy Spirit--took place on the end of 24 Kislev, beginning of 25 Kislev in the evening, in the year 3758, which was December 13, 4 BC. This was the beginning of Hanukkah.

3. Birth of Yeshua in Bethlehem--took place on 1 Tishri in 3759 (Rosh Hashanah), which was September 11, 3 BC.

4. Brit Milah at the Temple--took place on 8 Tishri in 3759, which was September 18, 3 BC.

Is there additional scholarship to support the above scenario? A friend wrote to me as I was working on the above Bible code matrixes and suggested the work by Dr. Ernest L. Martin. I ordered his book, and in the last section of this multi-part article will relate what Dr. Martin shows in his book related to signs in the sky and the real date of death of king Herod. Needless to say, Dr. Martin's work agrees 100% with the scenario above.

Part 5, Other Scholarship Proving the Exact date of Birth of Yeshua (Jesus)

Or Go Back to the Codes in the Bible Home Page

.

Dr. Ernest L. Martin wrote a book called, The Star of Bethlehem: The Star that Astonished the World, and I became aware of this book as I was working on the Yeshua birth matrixes. His scholarship has withstood peer review and at least one aspect of the book is now in the latest edition of The Handbook of Biblical Chronology. We'll cover that shortly, but first his website is http://www.askelm.com and you can order his book directly by calling 1-503-292-4352. His e-mail address is: askoffice@askelm.com

Dr. Ernest L. Martin shows in his book, that the signs in the sky shown in Revelation 12:1-3, occurred on only one day in 3 BC, and they occurred exactly on September 11, 3 BC between 6:15 pm and 7:49 pm. What are these celestial signs?

Revelation 12:1-3 And a great sign appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of 12 stars; and she was with child, and she cried out, being in labor and in pain to give birth. And another sign appeared in heaven; and behold, a great red dragon having seven heds and 10 horns, and on his heads were seven diadems.

Because the earth is rotating, there is apparent motion of the sun and moon, while the stars stay somewhat fixed in relation to the earth. The sun was mid-body along the ecliptic in Virgo the Virgin on September 11, 3 BC, and the moon was under her feet exactly from 6:15 to 7:49 pm on September 11, 3 BC. According to Dr. Martin, this great sign in the sky only occured on that one day in 3 BC.

While Dr. Martin's date for the birth of Yeshua (Jesus) agrees exactly with what is in the Bible code, can we infer that the birth of Yeshua took place exactly between 6:15 to 7:49 pm on September 11, 3 BC? I believe that we can accept the time of birth as being 7 pm plus or minus an hour based on the exact sign in the sky.

What about the death of Herod as it relates to all this? After all, many scholars have said that king Herod died in 4 BC or 5 BC? Dr. Ernest L. Martin in his book, laboriously goes through each possibility for the death of king Herod and with a number of other scholars, proves that Herod died a couple of weeks after the total lunar eclipse of January 10, 1 BC. He pinpoints the date of death of Herod to about January 29, 1 BC plus or minus a couple of days.

Flavius Josephus wrote many details surrounding the death and burial of king Herod in his Jewish Antiquities. He writes that king Herod died shortly after a lunar eclipse. The lunar eclipses for that period of time in Israel were:

7 BC -- no lunar eclipse
6 BC -- no lunar eclipse
5 BC -- total lunar eclipse on March 23, time between eclipse and Passover was 29 days
5 BC -- total lunar eclipse on September 15, time between eclipse and Passover was 7 months
4 BC -- partial lunar eclipse on March 13, time between eclipse and Passover was 29 days
3 BC -- no lunar eclipse
2 BC -- no lunar eclipse
1 BC -- total lunar eclipse on January 10, time between eclipse and Passover was 12.5 weeks.

Dr. Martin and a number of other scholars have shown that given the details by Josephus and other historians of that time, that king Herod had to have died almost 3 weeks after the lunar eclipse. Then there were preparations for a royal burial and a 30-day period for the procession and burial. After that was over, the new king, Archelaus took care of many royal duties before Passover. Given all this, the two springtime lunar eclipses in 5 and 4 BC could not possibly be the lunar eclipse preceding king Herod's death. You'll have to read Dr. Martin's book to get all the details and other supporting information.

The point is that scholarship by Dr. Martin and others proves that what the Bible code shows in relation to the birth of Yeshua (Jesus) is both reasonable and expected.

Click here for a short Flash movie that Dr. Martin had developed to show what the Star of Bethlehem actually looked like in the skies in 3BC and 2 BC. You'll need either the Flash player from Macromedia which you can download here for Flash Player 6 for all types of computers and browsers, or you can play the Flash movie in RealPlayer. This is really worth seeing visually!!

What does this all mean? It means that Christmas is entirely pagan and is the continuation of the religious practices of ancient Babylon. Yeshua (Jesus) was born on September 11, 3 BC and was earlier conceived on December 13, 4 BC. There is nothing about Yeshua related to Christmas except man-made customs. Saturnalia was the celebration of the winter solstice from ancient Babylon and Semiramis gave birth to Tammuz on December 25. The Roman and Greek world worshipped the sun in a religion called Mithraism, and December 25 was the Nativity of the Sun (Sol the sun god). Tammuz was supposedly the rebirth of Nimrod who is also known as Baal. The yule log is from ancient Babylon symbolizing the stump for Nimrod or Baal. The green tree decorated with silver and gold and nailed down so that it would not totter was celebrated by ancient Israel as they apostasized (Jeremiah 10:3-4), and there are a number of references in the Old Testament to a green tree as an idol. It is the same Christmas tree customs which people use today for Christmas. The round sparkly balls represent the sun. The popes in about 350 AD deliberately renamed the birth of Sol the sun-god on December 25 as a christian custom. That is recorded in the Roman writings of that time. All of these Christmas customs were done by the pagans before the day was renamed as a Christian holiday. Isn't it interesting that there were ancient presentations of the woman and child thousands of years before Yeshua was born? These madonna and child representations were Semiramis and Tammuz from ancient Babylon.

A good book is Babylon Mystery Religion, by Ralph Woodrow, available at many christian bookstores.

So many christians wonder when reading the Revelation, what Mystery Babylon could be in our modern time. It is partly the modern church, which has a mixture of the true teachings from the Bible, plus the most sacred christian days being the old pagan Baal customs. All of these old pagan customs are part of the celebration of the rebirth of the sun on December 25. None of this is from God our Father. The Puritans in America forbade the celebration of Christmas because they knew and taught what has been presented here, that Christmas has nothing to do with Christ or the conception or birth of Yeshua. Actually the end-times Mystery Babylon is a religious Babylon, an economic Babylon, and a political Babylon. The religious Babylon is only part of Mystery Babylon.

I know, the first excuse usually given is, well we can do good on that day. Yes, you can do good on any day of the year. Why is it that you have to give gifts and put up a green tree in your house on December 25? Is it because everyone else does it? Secondly, pastors will say that they preach the gospel on that day and some get saved. Yes, that does occur, but isn't it the preaching of the Word of God and not the trappings of the pagan holiday that saves people. That too can occur any day of the year.

The fact is that believers need to repent that they perpetuated these pagan days and called them meaningful. You can make fun of ancient Israel when they adopted the customs of the pagans and were later expelled from the land for their faithlessness, but aren't we doing the same things? Please reconsider celebrating pagan holidays and calling them christian.

Barbara Di Gilio recently put an article on her Mayim Hayim website, adding to the debate concerning the conception and birth of Yeshua (Jesus). While her work doesn't specify the exact dates as shown in this article for the birth, however it is a good background article. For Unto Us a Child is Born: The Debate of Timing.
