287 Was Yeshua Born at Sukkot? (Bible Study Class)
Show Notes

Sermon Update 2021. It’s become pretty popular in Messianic, Hebrew Roots circles to believe that Yeshua was born during Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles) in the autumn season. Around Christmas time I see all sorts of memes and posts on Facebook touting this belief, and during Sukkot each year I will read about people who say they are celebrating the Messiah’s birth while they keep the Feast. Is there any Scriptural proof for this belief? In this lesson I look at the main text I always see people point to, and I deal with the idea/belief that the course of Abijah in Luke 1 gives us a timeline leading to the birth-date of Yeshua. I also delve into the beginning of Luke 2 and explain why I believe we can know for sure that Yeshua was NOT born on Sukkot.
