Luke
1:26 -2:40
The
Angel Gabriel came to Mary
in the sixth
month
(Elul-our
August
or September)
of the Hebrew Calendar and told her of the coming
Birth of the Messiah.
1. She
was told
by the Angel
that her relative, in the hill country of Judah, Elizabeth was six
months pregnant.
2. At
that time, Mary than went
to visit Elizabeth
in
Judah.
3 Upon
arriving at her relatives house she heard amazing prophecies
concerning her soon to be born son, Jesus.
4. Mary
stayed with Elizabeth
until she gave birth to John the Baptist (for about
3 months)
and then she returned home to Nazareth
in Galilee.
5. I
would expect that Mary would have conceived
(about
that time or shortly thereafter the Feast
of Trumpets)
sometime between the Angel's announcement to her and her leaving
Elizabeth's house (roughly a 3, 31/2 month period-between Elul and
Bul (our August
to November)). (Feast of Tabernacles shortly thereafter)
6. Hence,
should have been able to sense
Jesus' movements
sometime between Tebeth (our December
or January)
and Ziv (our April or May) approaching the time of the Feast
of Passover/Unleavened Bread and First Fruits.
Conclusion
7. And
finally, Jesus' birth should have taken place sometime between Ziv
(our May) and Ethanim (our September). My
closest most reasonable educated guess,
I would postulate conception took place, while Mary was at her
relatives house (approximately early mid stay) about
4 to 6 weeks
after the advisory from the Angel
concerning the coming of Jesus. This timing to the key event of
conception would
tend to
demonstrate
that the fertilization took place sans Joseph.
8. So,
if it was about 5 weeks after the Angels announcement to Mary that
should be about September 19th
to October 20th..
9. Sensing
the child's
first movements
at
about February
6th
to March 10th.
(Passover/Unleavened
Bread/First Fruits)
10. Finally,
Jesus should have been born
sometime between June 5th
and July 13th.
(Shortly
after
Pentecost
(the
Harvest Festival))
11. In
addition, giving birth at about the end of June
or the beginning of July
provides plenty of time for the farmers and laborers such as Joseph
and others to finish
up harvest
and attendant other things and to make the trip to be counted for the
Roman census
in good weather.
12. The solution for everything, in my very, very strongly held view is: Romans 6:5!
"If we are in the likeness of His death, we shall
also be of resurrection!"
