Christmas - BUT FOR WHOM





The Fest of Atonement
( Falls on 2009 on Sunset of September 27 through nightfall of September 28 )


The above link is the festival of Jews known as Yom Kippur, the fest of atonement, ie:Atonement in Judaism is the process of causing a transgression to be forgiven or pardoned. and repentance. Jesus is the lamb of God, for repentance, He was born in this period as he was the sacrificial lamb, the festival of Atonement, was a shadow to Jesus, not on 25th December. i will be adding to the noise about these, please confirm with me the facts i am saying

1. a human lady, when pregnant takes : 40 weeks, though a normal range is from 37 to 42 weeks to give birth, ie in months 9.months , approx 7 days
2. its 27deg Celsius to -3 degree Celsius in December in Israel, in nights it can fall upto 10 degrees or even lesser,
3. sheep may survive cold but not so much, but those days even for poor shepherds rain and snow, see yahoo weather, Israel.
4. lets assume one thing here, Mary , mother of Jesus, got pregnant at this some time of say within a week or month after the angel said; so as in Luke( who is a doctor) the angel
visited Mary according to the bible , in Luke : 1:26
In the sixth month (of Elizabeth), God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. 28The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you."



ok so far all clear,

now lets learn one more fact, New testament is written in Greek, and the parents of Jesus were Jews, so they might have followed either the Greek or Hebrew/ Jewish calender, ok

read about John the baptist birth, and his ancestor from Aaron's list,

A descendant of Aaron and head of a family of priests. When King David divided the priesthood into twenty-four divisions, each to serve at the sanctuary for a one-week period every six months, Abijah was chosen by lot to head the eighth division (I Chr 24:1, 5, 10).
according to 1 chro 24:10, we see Abijah's group was 8th out of 24 for a Jewish ceremonial year MArch-April ,
this means he would finish his work by end of the fourth month.
so Elizabeth was pregnant in the fourth month of Israel,
adding dates:
4th month - "June-July" - Service ends for Abijah's clan
5th month - " to " - Elizabeth 's first month starts
6th month - "August-September " - Elizabeth's second month
7th month - " to " - Elizabeth's third month
8th month - "October-November " - Elizabeth's fourth month
9th month - " to " - Elizabeth's fifth month
10th month- "Dec-Jan" - Elizabeth's sixth month (also Mary's first month starts)
11th month- " to " - Mary's second month
12th month- "February-March" - Mary's third month
1st month - " to " - Mary's fourth month (also John's Birth)
2nd month - " to " - Mary's fifth month
3rd month - " to " - Mary's sixth month
4th month - " to " - Mary's seventh month
5th month - " to " - Mary's eighth month
6th month - "August-September or September October" - Mary's ninth (about the time of festival of trumphets) [ as the Jewish calender has some correction methods CLICK HERE TO KNOW]

which was a good climate in Israel, cool to hang out with friends and sheeps and wait for an angel to sing "hallelueh!!!"...

Final word, I dont want your Christmas Celebrations to go in vain, but i want you to realise, that you may not be celebrating Jesus's Birthday, but some Egyptian, Sumerian, Noah-time "pagan " god of "God knows What"

On some other check i found that the dates go upto may or even upto march. but later on much thought, i felt that (especially after alpha course) i was pulling the wrong end of the rope,i felt that though christmas was a rebel celebration to oppose some pagan worship, and we ended up taking ,ost of it, its anice time to celebrate with family and till we get our heads right, we have to accept that its a good time to atleast talk freely about the the glory of God.

The Nativity - by Gari Melchers

This could be my first ever critique of art that I have ever written and that is because it is only recently art has captured my interest as much as this work. This write up is made both in English and German as I want to practice my German.  'The Nativity' by Gari Melchers.  I am not an art expert and my critique is from a layman's point of view, but bear with me. I have tried reading some information about the art and the culture behind it and I have my two favourite blog posts about the same work and yes,  I have shamelessly copied some of their thoughts. Woebegone but Hopeful and other is by Lisa VO . Julius Garibaldi Melchers (August 11, 1860 – November 30, 1932) was an American artist. He was one of the leading American proponents of naturalism. He won a 1932 Gold medal from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.[1] - Wikipedia The Nativity is painted during the peak of realism movement - in a gritty and less idealised ma...

Testimonies

This is an extract from a mail I had written to my friends and I wish that most of you my readers would get this message too. I want to tell you about a few testimonies that changed my perception of testimonies. Most of you may have heard me say this many times, but then since its that good, I wish your Christmas memories could include this one too.  The first story occurs in a little village of pullad. Now that is in Kerala, and for those who do not know where it is, the place is near kumbanad, and around 15 Kms from Chengannur/ Thiruvalla and some where in the mid point between ernakulam and trivandrum .  SEE IT ON MAP I HAD WRITTEN THE STORY IN A BETTER FORMAT OVER AN YEAR AGO. SEE TOTALLY SIMPLE FAITH.  It is a village more than a town , with rubber trees, bugs and the sweet sound of rain in the woody and leafy region, so it cooler and humid than most other parts of kerala. So, i was here, in a prayer meeting run by a pentecostal group called the hallelujah pra...

Spirit of the Lord and his Standards

The chapter Isaiah 59 is a very meaningful chapter. The chapter begins with the prophet telling us that God has not run away from us or nor is he hiding that our tears cannot be seen or our cries cannot be heard. But when we went away from God, we were also neglected justice by others and God saw that his children were oppressed and were denied justice and as it is said in in Isaiah 59:15(b) . This is our God. Although we are sinners he says and that there were no one who could stand for you as mediators , God would bring you the salvation. The Lord is at my right hand, he is there to protect me, but let me tell you that God is also there to guard you from sinning. The verse Isaiah 59:19 , is the most important verse that we should remember when we are tempted. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight*. Isaiah 59:19 What does this verse mean to you? This is what I have understood and I follow. You ...
