a lie.’
‘How can the pagan Christmas be his birthday if it was already being celebrated hundreds of years before he himself was born? However the Jews at the time of Yeshua did have the habit of gathering together at that time of December, when the Romans celebrated their pagan festival. That was usually two or three weeks before the roman Christmas day.’
‘You see, the Romans usually eased off and sometimes even stopped their persecution of the Jewish people at the times of their festivals in order to concentrate on their orgies. This left the Jewish people with some respite. Thus they too profited to gather together and pray in peace without any fear of being disturbed, scattered or arrested by the Romans. And Yeshua followed this tradition with the rest of the Jewish people’.
‘Such a period, Hanukkah, is still observed today; if you want to have a religious festival in December, make it be known that, that one is the one you are celebrating.’
‘Yeshua therefore was a devout Jew. And his birth had been planned by Yahweh, our Leader, all around the Jewish festivals and the Hebrew calendar as we shall prove. So Jesus the Christian Christ has nothing in common with Rabbi Yeshua-Bar-Joseph of Nazareth.’
‘The Hebrew calendar as we just described to you, is what Yahweh gave to Moses, by which to calculate the feast days which were given in Leviticus 23. In Exodus 12:2 you may read:
‘This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.’
‘And this is how we Elyonin count Earth time: according to the Hebrew calendar, or Yahweh’s calendar. It is a lunar calendar, it should not be the solar calendar which the Romans forcefully imposed on Humanity and which is now best known.’
‘In the Roman calendar, the New moon comes during all different days of the month. The winter solstice always comes at Christmas time. But in the Hebrew calendar, the new moon always marks the first day of the months, and the Winter Solstice comes in different days of the month.’
‘There are 365 days in the Roman calendar, with a leap year of one extra day every four years. There are 354 days in the Hebrew calendar, with whole extra months added to the leap years.’
‘Our feast days for us Elyonin, are celebrated on Earth by the Hebrew calendar. For instance, Passover comes on the fourteenth day of the Hebrew month Abib. It can fall anywhere from March to April by the Roman calendar. It is not kept the same day every year by the Roman calendar.’
‘Now if even Yahweh, our Leader, commanded Humanity to celebrate Yeshua’s birth, which he definitely did not, it would be kept according to the Hebrew calendar on which he was born. That is, no matter when it was, would always fall on different days according to the Roman calendar. Because no Hebrew date falls on the same Roman Calendar date every year.’
‘Even if Yeshua was born during the time in the Hebrew calendar, which would correspond with December 25, the next year it would be on a different date to remain on the same Hebrew calendar date. But as we have said there is a Hebrew festival that is celebrated early in the month of Kislev (around December). It is called Hanukkah.’
‘Therefore it is the will of God the Mighty one, and of Yahweh, our Leader that the festivals of God are not regulated by gentile calendars, but by the calendar that he gave to Moses. Besides the fact that neither Yahweh nor Yeshua ever gave instructions to celebrate the birth of Yeshua as a holy day, there is also the fact that Yeshua was not born on or near December 25.’
‘This can be proven from the Bible. In fact, even the true date when Yeshua was born can be proven from the Bible.’

THE EVIDENCE

‘Let us begin with the time that the mother of Yeshua became pregnant. It is written in the New Testament:
‘And in the Sixth Month, the angel Gabriel was sent from Elohim (Elyonin) unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a maiden espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the House of David; and the maiden’s name was Myriam.’ Luke 1:26-27.
‘Now you must remember that this sixth month was according to the Hebrew calendar, not the Roman calendar, when our Gabriel appeared to Myriam. You shall notice what he told her in verse 3: ‘And behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Yeshua.’
‘Myriam was to conceive Yeshua at this time. And the sixth month is Elul, and comes in correspondence with the Roman calendar August to September. Myriam wondered at this, as we read in verse 35:
‘And the angel answered and said to her: the Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called son of Elohim’.
‘So Gabriel was showing her that she would become pregnant with Yeshua during the sixth month, not some other month. How do we know this? Before the angel made this announce to Myriam, Elisabeth had already been pregnant for five months.’
‘And after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived, ‘and hid herself five months,’ saying thus hath YHWH dealt with me in those days wherein He looked on me to take away my reproach among men’. (Luke 1:24-25)
‘So Elizabeth conceived John, and then hid away for five months. Then in the next verse, Gabriel came to Myriam, who had become pregnant during Elizabeth’s sixth month of pregnancy. If Myriam became pregnant during that sixth month, she should have become pregnant after Elizabeth had been pregnant five complete months, and was her sixth month of pregnancy. And we find the proof in Gabriel’s speech to Myriam: ‘And behold, thy cousin Elizabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren’. (Luke 1:36)
‘In the sixth month, by the Hebrew calendar, when Gabriel came to Miriam to announce that she would conceive Yeshua, Elizabeth was in her sixth month of her pregnancy with John the Baptizer. Elizabeth conceived in the first month. If Myriam became pregnant with Yeshua in the sixth month, then she and Elizabeth would have been pregnant at the same time or about three months before John was born.’
‘Now in order for Yeshua to have to have been born on December 25, Myriam would have had to have become pregnant about nine months before December 25, which would be the Roman month of March. This would correspond to the Hebrew month of Abib, which is the first month, the time when Elizabeth became pregnant. And that year, the Hebrew first month fell in March of the Roman Year.’
‘If Myriam became pregnant in the sixth month, Yeshua would have been born nine months later, in the spring!’ You should also remember that the Hebrew calendar has leap years, when an extra month is added; and if that year was a leap year, Myriam would have been pregnant:

1- The sixth month . 6- The eleventh month .
2- The seventh month . 7- The twelfth month .
3- The eighth month . 8- The extra thirteenth month .
4- The ninth month . 9- The first month .
5- The tenth month .
‘The first month is Abib, which falls the following year, the month when the Passover comes; making it a total of nine months. The only way for Myriam to have conceived Yeshua until March after Gabriel appeared to her, so he could be born on December 25, would be that Myriam never became pregnant until after John the Baptizer was born.’
‘You shall remember that in that Hebrew sixth month, Elizabeth was sixth months pregnant, so John would have been born in her ninth month: which would be the Hebrew month of Kislev, the month when Hannukah is celebrated, which is in winter time! Then if Miriam did not conceive ‘Jesus’ until after John was born, so that ‘Jesus’ could be a Christmas baby that would mean that Myriam and Elizabeth could never have both been pregnant at the same time.’
‘Let us find out which is true: were Miriam and Elizabeth never pregnant at the same time, making December 25th a distinct possibility for Yeshua? Or were Miriam and Elizabeth both pregnant at the same time, making it impossible for ‘Jesus’ to have been born in December 25th?’
‘And Myriam said (to the angel) behold the handmaid of YHWH; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.’
‘And Myriam arose in those DAYS (of that sixth month) and went into the hill country with haste into a city of Judah; and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elizabeth.’
‘And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Myriam, the babe (John) leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was influenced with the Holy Spirit: and she spake with a loud voice, and said, blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, and whence is this to me that the mother of Adoni (My Lord) should come to me?’ (Luke 1:38-42)
‘You see that when Myriam departed from Gabriel, she said: “be it according to thy word.” So, she became pregnant during that sixth month. That same month she immediately went to Elizabeth who was six months pregnant with John. Elizabeth said: ‘blessed is the fruit of thy womb’, then said that the mother of her master Yeshua had come to her.’
‘The fruit of Miriam’s womb was with her when she arrived at Elizabeth’s house, and she was already called Yeshua’s mother, for he already was within Miriam’s womb. They were therefore pregnant at the same time. And that makes a December birth for Yeshua impossibility, unless Yeshua was three or four months premature.’
‘Now that I have established that Myriam and Elizabeth were pregnant at the same time without the risk of a doubt, how do we know then that Myriam actually conceived in that sixth month Let us consult the passage:’
‘And Myriam abode with her (Elizabeth) about three months, and returned to her house. Now Elizabeth’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son. (Luke 1:56-57)
‘Myriam started staying with Elizabeth, who was six months pregnant, with enough time for her to carry John to a full term nine months, before John was born. If Myriam had waited a month or two after Gabriel departed, before she became pregnant, and went to Elizabeth’s house, it would have been the seventh or eighth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy. And Myriam could not have stayed with her for three months, and John still not be born until Myriam went back home.’
‘As Elizabeth was nine months pregnant with John before her time came to be delivered, we know, counting back three months would have made Elizabeth in her sixth month with John. We also know that when Myriam arrived at Elizabeth’s house, she was already conceived with Yeshua. And it was this very same sixth month when the Angel appeared to Myriam, telling her that she was pregnant with Yeshua, and it was at that time Elizabeth’s sixth month or pregnancy.’
‘And that proves, without the shadow of a doubt: Myriam conceived Jesus during the sixth month of the Hebrew calendar, the same month Gabriel appeared to her. Now let us continue.’
‘When John was born, Myriam was three and-a-half months pregnant with Yeshua, who would have been born in Abib, making John, Yeshua’s older cousin by about six months. And this in itself
