John, as a kind of Elijah, was likely born on 14, Nisan (Eliyahu does show up for Passover). Sukkot begins 180 days (6 months) later. If John was born on Passover, his cousin Yeshua (”Jesus”) was born during Sukkot - which is almost always late September or early October on the Gregorian calendar.
Exactly right, guys. The Bible gives plenty of evidence for when Christ was born. Tabernacles is the only festival that survives into eternity. But there's more to consider.
Consider that Christ's birth at Tabernacles puts His conception at Hannukah. The Festival of Lights. When the Temple was re-dedicated. So also the human temple of the Holy Spirit was 're-dedicated' to God at the conception of Christ. Christ is the Light of the World and was conceived at the Festival of Lights.
Of course the oil which burns for 8 days represents the Holy Spirit-filled person of Christ. 8 is the number of resurrection. Christ was filled with the Holy Spirit at conception for life unto resurrection. He was resurrected on the 8th day.
Lots of neat stuff becomes clear if people would only recognize the obvious. Incredibly, very few people can understand or accept this.
