To my Jewish friends and readers, I wish you a “Chag Sukkot Kasher v’Sameach”
– a Kosher and Happy Sukkot Holiday.
Yes, December 25th is the pagan celebration of the Roman Saturnalia, the god of winter solstice,
and one in the same with the birth of Tammuz/Baal to his mother Semeramis of Babylon.
Thank the Lord we know the TRUTH and are not deceived by the pagan feasts of
Christ Mass Day to honor the "other" messiah of the RC.

Jesus born on 15th of Tishri
Argument for a Tishri (Sukkot) Birth
There are several reasons to believe that Yeshua was born during the Fall,
in particular, during the Feast of Tabernacles - Sukkot. Among the reasons cited are as follows:
Christmas Day - Was Jesus Really Born on December 25th ?
by John J. Parsons
As you will see, the crux of the arguments both for and against the late December dating of the birth of Yeshua depend upon the date assigned to the "course of Abia" and the precise time that Zacharias -- John the Baptist's father -- was in the Temple when he was visited by the angel Gabriel. But what is the "course of Abia" and why is it important?
King David (1 Chr 28:11-13) divided the sons of Aaron into 24 "courses" or groups (1 Chr 24:1-4) to create an orderly schedule by which the Temple of the Lord could be staffed for the year. Once these courses were established, lots were drawn to determine the sequence each group would serve in the Temple (1 Chr 24: 7-19). Each of the 24 courses of priests would begin and end their service on the Sabbath for a tour of duty of one week (2 Chr 23:8, 1 Chr 9:25).
The issue turns on the date assigned to the "course of Abia"
and the precise time that Zacharias was in the Temple
when he was visited by the angel Gabriel.
The Jewish calendar begins in the Spring (Nisan), so the first course of priests (Jehoiarib) would serve for seven days. The second week would then fall to the family of Jedaiah. The third week would be the festival of Passover, when all priests would be present for service, so the schedule would resume with the third course of priests (Harim) on the fourth week. By the tenth week, since both Passover and Shavu'ot had occurred, the 8th course of Abia (Abijah) would be called for temple service. By means of this arrangement, after the 24th course was completed, the cycle of courses would repeat, so that in a given year each group of priests would serve in the Temple twice per year (in addition to the three major festivals).

On What Day Was Jesus Born?
While much of the world celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ on the 25th of December, can the actual day of Jesus' birth be determined from scripture? This question will be explored in some detail, and will yield a result that is quite intriguing. The first passage we will consider begins with the father of John the Baptist, Zacharias:
Luke 1:5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. Luke 1:8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course, ... Luke 1:23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house. Luke 1:24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, ...
The clue given to us here is that Zacharias was of the "course" of Abia.

On What Day Was Jesus Born
by Michael Scheifler
I think this article offers solid biblical evidence concerning the date of the birth of Jesus. I hope you read this article and glean the truth found in it. Precise scriptural evidence is offered to prove when Jesus was actually born. Though there is a simpler way. Consider this. Jesus was on the earth for 33 1/2 years. No one I know will dispute this fact. Jesus died on Passover. No one I know will argue this fact either. Now if He lived 33 1/2 years and died on Passover, you can back up one half year, (6 months) from when he died and it will bring you to the 15th day of Tishri. This is the same conclusion the article comes to, but with scriptural evidence to back it up. Even if this simple formula will put the issue to rest with some people, please do not hesitate to consider the valuable scriptural information found in the article below.
My sincere hope is that God will open the eyes of professing Christians to see that December 25th is not His birthday, Hopefully you will recognize the paganism associated with the X-MASS (Catholic celebration) and all its worldly ties. These types of practices are strongly condemned in Gods word and it is high time we awoke out of sleep and repented ourselves of these ungodly practices. [...]

First day of Sukkot
The first day of Sukkot (Succot, Succoth, Sukkoth) is the start of a period that is known as the Feast of Tabernacles. The Sukkot festival is observed during the week starting on 15th day of Tishri (or Tishrei), which is the first month of the year in the Jewish calendar.
This period marks a traditional time for many Jewish people to make a pilgrimage to the Temple in Jerusalem. Some or all of the holiday is spent in a temporary structure known as a sukkah.

Jesus' real birthday was around the 15th day of Tishrei during the Jewish holiday of Sukkot
by Ian David
Since John was born on Passover, the 15th day of Nisan (the 1st Jewish month), Jesus would have been born six months later on the 15th day of Tishri (the 7th Jewish month). The 15th day of the 7th month begins the Feast of Tabernacles (Lev. 23:34-35), also known as Sukkot. Jesus was born on the 1st day of the Feast of Tabernacles! In the year 5 B.C.E., this fell in the month of September.
This explains why there was no room at the inn for Joseph and Mary. A multitude of Jewish pilgrims from all over the Middle East had come to Jerusalem to observe the Feast of Tabernacles, as God required (Deu. 16:16). Bethlehem, which was only a few miles outside of Jerusalem, was also overflowing with visitors at this time because of the Feast. [...]

Sukkot 2013: To My Friends & Readers . . .
by Debbie Schlussel - 9/18 5:58 pm
Tonight at sundown, the Jewish holiday of Sukkot begins (and ends next week–it lasts seven days, and then there are a couple of one-day holidays tacked on after the end). I’ll be posting one or two more things tonight, and I have several newsworthy things I’ve written in advance, which will be posted during my absence on Thursday and Friday. Per usual, it’s stuff you won’t read anywhere else. So stay tuned.
To my Jewish friends and readers, I wish you a “Chag Sukkot Kasher v’Sameach”– a Kosher and Happy Sukkot Holiday. For my gentile readers, here’s an explanation of the holiday:
Sukkot is one of my favorite Jewish holidays because it’s a cool fall, outdoorsy holiday. Here’s some information about Sukkot,
from a previous post:
Sukkot (also called Sukkos, Succos, or Succot) is called Tabernacles in English. It is one of the three Jewish harvest festival holidays, and we commemorate the Jews’ temporary existence (and temporary dwellings), while wandering in the Sinai desert [and subject to the will of G-d and the weather conditions imposed by Him].

2000 Years of Significant Events in History on September 11th.
Our research on September 11 in history uncovered many anomalies and perhaps a significant prophetic sign. The most startling discovery was a book written in 1981, 20 years prior to the 2001 attacks, called "The
Birth of Christ Recalculated". The author, Dr. Ernest L. Martin, claims to have calculated the exact date of Jesus Christ's birth based on the celestial charts for that era. The date of Christ's birth, based on the famous Star of Bethlehem, is calculated to be September 11, 3 B.C.. Dr. Martin's findings have been accepted by many scholars, theologians, historians, and astronomers. We also note that Jesus Christ has 11 letters. The crosses found standing in the ruins of the WTC, and the dominance of the number 11 in the 9-11 events,
make this combination even more mysterious. There is another significant religious event occurring about 2000 years later on September 11, 1999. According to Hebrew scriptures September 11, 1999 was the 6,000th anniversary of Adam's creation, and year 1 on the Hebrew calendar.
Most other historic events between those 2,002 years (3 B.C. -1999 A.D.) involve either war or violence. [...]

Sukkot starts Festival of Booths for both Jews and Gentiles
Thanks Mario Taboada ...
The secular world has its' holidays, and God has his. These days are what is known and appointed by God, as Seasons. The passing of these seasons is how God reckons time, and it is also the schedule that nature lives by. We are driven by a schedule of reckoning time that is appointed by a monetary system, but soon, that's all going to change, and when it does, you'll be glad that you took a moment to see what God likes about his camping holidays. This not about being Jewish, or not being Jewish, or being Baptist, Pentecostal, Catholic, Presbyterian, Messianic,or what have you, this is about just you and your Creator. God, has seven days out of 360 that he calls his children to come and spend time with Him. Like any Father, God Loves for his children to come and rest, and relax, and enjoy all the blessings he has to give.
Who are God's children? Really, who are they? God's children are those who seek to know what makes the Father laugh, cry, love, and even anger. They ask into thin air sometimes but knowing he hears when they say, God, what do you think? They seek his will and ask his will to be done and never do what the father's will is, perfectly, and often forget what they're looking for and that they even asked anything of God's will; and yet, they constantly and boldly ask forgiveness and have no fear of correction, and give thanks. They scream and curse, and when the storm passes, they come back to the father and ask what they could have done better to treat others better, and then screw up again; but all in all they think more about what God thinks then what humans think, and never stop believing that with God all things are possible, even perfection. May all you be blessed in this Season for the next 6 days. Keep looking up for our redemption draws nigh.
Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for
he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come
down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
Joel 2:23 KJV
Yeshua is Born ! Celebrate The Feast of Tabernacles !!!
Praying on Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) toward the Temple Mount
where the Holy Temple stood in Yeshua's day in Jerusalem.
Happy Sukkot
"On the fifteenth day of the seventh month the Lord’s Feast of Tabernacles begins, and it lasts for seven days. The first day is a sacred assembly; do no regular work. For seven days present offerings made to the Lord by fire, and on the eighth day hold a sacred assembly and present an offering made to the Lord by fire. It is the closing assembly; do no regular work." (Leviticus 23:34–36)
Today is the first day of the Festival of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles).
And here in Israel and all around the world, the Jewish People are spending time in the sukkot (plural of sukkah) that they built when Yom Kippur ended just days ago.
This holiday is a pilgrimage festival that is linked to the harvest, known as Chag HaAsif (Festival of Ingathering). In ancient times, every Israelite went up to Jerusalem to celebrate Sukkot at the Temple.
Sukkot are everywhere in Israel right now. It's such a sight to see. They
are on balconies and verandas, in alleys, and even beside pools.
Many families not only eat their meals in the sukkah, they also host a
sukkah party during the Feast of Sukkot.
Sukkot is also a commemoration of the 40 years that Israel wandered in the wilderness and lived in sukkot (booths or tabernacles) following the exodus from Egypt.
"Live in booths [sukkot] for seven days: All native-born Israelites are to live in booths so your descendants will know that I had the Israelites live in booths when I brought them out of Egypt.'" (Leviticus 23:42–43)
This holiday is a very joyous one, so much so that it is also called Z'man Simchateinu, the Season of Rejoicing!
"On the first day you are to take choice fruit from the trees, and palm fronds, leafy branches and poplars, and rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days." (Leviticus 23:40, see also Nehemiah 8:15)
A Jewish man faces east toward Jerusalem and prays while waving
the lulav and the etrog in his sukkah. The etrog (in the left hand) and
lulav (in the right hand) are held together in the traditional fashion
and waved or shook toward the east, south, west and north.
While one of the main observances of this holiday is spending time in the sukkah, the lulav (a bundle of date palm fond, myrtle, and willow) and an etrog (a deliciously fragrant lemon-like citrus) are also waved before the Lord.
When the Temple stood, this waving ceremony was performed on all seven days of Sukkot at the Holy Temple.
Sukkot, which follows right after Rosh HaShanah (Day of Judgment) and Yom Kippur (the day the judgment is sealed), represents renewed fellowship with God.
