Scientists have affirmed when Jesus was really born, and it’s certainly not the date you’d expect.
With Christmas fast coming and millions getting into the festive spirit with parties, presents and turkey, the big day represents a deeper meaning for many.
For many, December 25 highlighted the 2,023rd birthday of Jesus Christ – but the reality, according to some experts, is that Jesus wasn’t born on that certain day in December.
Profesionals are suggesting Jesus may be a lot older than we all think, and the fact there’s no reason to believe Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day.
How does this look into Jesus?
Well, according to the bible, Herod said that all Jewish boys under the age of two must be passed away.
While we can still not confirm this as a definite, it would suggest Jesus was born at least 24 months before King Herod’s d3ath.
As for potential d3ath dates of the King, according to experts these are: December 29, 1 BC, January 10, 1 BC, March 13, 4 BC and September 15, 5 BC.
Professor Mykytiuk added: “Josephus also tells us in two places that the Jewish Passover happened soon after the passing of Herod the Great. Because the Passover is considered in the spring; September, January, and December are ruled out.”
The professor added: “It is most unlikely that Jesus was born on any day in December, let alone on December 25th, because ‘there were shepherds living out in the field, keeping watch over their flocks at night’.
“During winter, shepherds kept sheep in the fold to protect themselves and their sheep from severe weather. This fact of plentiful grass in March fits with the lunar eclipse occurring shortly before the d3ath of Herod the Great.
“The narrowest date one can confidently arrive at for Jesus’s birth seems to be the month of March, during the years 6, 5, or 4 BC.”
