Hello, John and Doves,
I was wrong.
Yeshua, being the Passover Lamb for the Ages, was born in the Spring, when shepherds were keeping watch over their flocks by night to watch for lambing.
Lambs are born to only once a year--in the Spring, so this makes sense.
Had Jesus been born on Sukkot, He would have born to rule.
But as a lamb, He was born to die.
Not only that, each faithful believer will wear a robe made of His righteousness!
John the Baptist was a son of Solomon, and but for the curse, would have been king of the Jews.
He was born on Sukkot, presaging the Second Coming before he said a word, six months before Jesus was born in the Spring.
Thus, twice over, John the Baptist is greater than any other prophet in the Tanakh [Old Testament].
However, Jesus is the Son of David [through Mary] by a son other than Solomon.
Jesus is the assumed natural son of Joseph, the son [in-law] of Heli. Joseph was in fact of the line of Solomon.
Jesus was conceived on Pentecost, in Jerusalem, presaging the gift of the Holy Spirit to all believers. From Sivan 6 to Nisan 1 is about 10 X 28 [=280] days, surely the fullness of time!
Will the Rapture happen in Spring?
Then the Jews would weep to think that Messiah's Birthday present was to be crucified!
It is surpassing curious to note that in some traditions of celebrating one's birthday, the birthday honoree supplies the food!
We partake of His body!
One of these days, some Dove's birthday present from the LORD [YHVH] will be the Rapture!
Until then, 'be ready, for your redemption draws near.'
~Blessings,
