WHEN WAS JESUS BORN?: M. M. NINAN<br />
The key is the Moon. The apostle said it <strong>was</strong> located "under her feet<br />
gives about 6:15 p.m. (sunset), and lasted until around 7:45 p.m.<br />
(moonset )<br />
So <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>was</strong> actually born on Rosh Ha-Shanah on September 11 in 3<br />
BC between 6:15 and 7:45 PM.<br />
The problem in this treatment is the validity of the assumption that this<br />
passage refers to the birth of <strong>Jesus</strong>. In the beginning of the book we are<br />
specifically told that<br />
Rev 1:1 The revelation of <strong>Jesus</strong> Christ, which God gave him to show<br />
his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending<br />
his angel to his servant John<br />
So the whole book of Revelation is concerning the period after the<br />
Patmos revelation and does not refer to the birth of <strong>Jesus</strong> or to the past<br />
history. The portion cannot be a bible code for the date of birth of<br />
<strong>Jesus</strong>. The remaining portion of Rev. 12 does not show any reasonable<br />
connection with the assumption. In other words this is a typical<br />
example of a text taken out of context. Revelation being a book which<br />
permits varying interpretations, this is not surprising.<br />
