The Birth of Jesus Christ
Many scholars believe
that Jesus was born in the fall. It is likely, then, that
His birth is prophetically connected to one of the three
fall feasts. If Jesus was born on the first day of the
Feast of Tabernacles, His birth and circumcision would
coincide with the exact days that people were required to
assemble for that Feast. See Leviticus 23:35-36.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph literally lived outside
in a temporary structure, a place for animals, during the
time of His birth. "She wrapped him in cloths and placed him
in a manger, because there was no room for them in the
inn." Luke 2:7. We find out in Genesis 33:17
that Jacob made booths or shelters
for his cattle; the Hebrew word used for those booths is the
same word used for the Feast of Tabernacles – "succoth."
Think about that! Jesus actually complied with
the mandate to live in a tabernacle at His
birth. So, whenever you see a nativity scene in
someone's yard at Christmastime, remember that you are
seeing a Jewish family living outside in a temporary
structure. Which is exactly what happens every fall during
the Feast of Tabernacles.
Two significant things happened to Jesus Christ on His eighth day: “On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise him, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he had been conceived.” Luke 2:21. He received His name Jesus and He was circumcised.
Circumcision is the sign of the Abrahamic Covenant that God made with the Jews: “Every male among you shall be circumcised. You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you …. My covenant in your flesh is to be an everlasting covenant.” Genesis 17:10-13.
There may be a connection between this and the
Church of Philadelphia of Revelation 3:7-13.
Philadelphia is the church that God promises to “keep
from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the
whole world to test those who live on the
earth.” Revelation 3:10. Its members are associated
with those who will participate in the Rapture. 
Philadelphia is told
the following: “Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in
the temple of my God. Never again will he leave
it. I will write on him the name of my God and the
name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is
coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on
him my new name” Revelation 3:12.
Those with CIRCUMCISED
hearts will receive HIS NAME on the 8th day
of Tabernacles, after the Rapture on the 7th day.
Is it possible that we will receive immortal bodies during the same feast that Jesus was born in a mortal body? “For we know that if the earthly house of our tabernacle be dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens. For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling. For we will put on heavenly bodies; we will not be spirits without bodies. For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. God has prepared us for this and has given us his Spirit as a guarantee.” 2 Corinthians 5:1-5
