Jesus’ exact birthdate has been verified by scientists, and it’s probably not what you may expect.
As Christmas draws near and numerous people embrace the holiday spirit with feasts, gifts, and festivities, the day takes on greater meaning for many.
Experts contend that Jesus Christ was not born on December 25, despite the fact that it is observed as his 2,023rd birthday.
Jesus may be far older than is generally accepted, according to experts, and the notion that he was born on Christmas Day is not well supported by the available data.
What does this reveal about Jesus?
The Bible claims that Herod commanded the execution of all Jewish boys younger than two.
Jesus must have been born at least 24 months before King Herod’s death, even if we cannot be positive of this.
Herod may have died on December 29, 1 BC, January 10, 1 BC, March 13, 4 BC, or September 15, 5 BC, according to experts.
“Josephus mentions in two accounts that the Jewish Passover occurred shortly after Herod the Great’s death,” Professor Mykytiuk wrote. Passover falls in the spring, thus September, January, and December are out of the question.
He said, “There were shepherds living out in the field, keeping watch over their flocks at night, so it is extremely unlikely that Jesus was born on any day in December, especially not on December 25th.”
Shepherds would huddle their sheep in the fold during the winter to protect their flocks and themselves from inclement weather. March’s profusion of grass corresponds with the lunar eclipse that occurred just before Herod the Great’s demise.
The earliest date we can logically propose for Jesus’ birth seems to be March, which would fall within the years 6, 5, or 4 BC.
