Re:Loni's "From conception to birth"

I was told about this a while back but didn't realize the source was Zola Levitt.   In particular the statement:

 The Feast of Hanukkah is the correct distance on the calendar from,the Feast of Tabernacles to complete a 280 day pregnancy.

I believe a pregnancy has been supernaturally preordained by God to be 10 times the female period of 4 weeks (4 standing for the flesh), which would make it 40 weeks (40 standing for trials and tribulations), or 280 days, and also that Jesus most likely came in the fulness of time as interpreted from the following scripture:

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,  Galations 4:4

It would make sense that Jesus was carried full-term.  He should not have come into this world premature. 

That being said, the analogy had been made that Jesus could have been conceived by the Holy Ghost on Passover and born on Hannukah as the light coming into the World.  While I am not going to debate the merits of either of these two claims, it is worth pointing out that one is a good month short of 280 days between Passover and Hannukah for this period "to complete a 280 day pregnancy".

Shalom,
