Many people are saying that Christmas Day is when Jesus was born but many are not convinced and they believed that nobody really knew when is the exact birthdate of the Messiah Jesus and even His death there was no recorded an exact date. HISTORICALLY, AN ANCIENT BELIEF OR TRADITION has been established and continued to flourished even today. This is the popularity of Christmas in December 25 as diverted to the birth of Jesus but actually related to other pagan entity.
WHO WAS REALLY BORN ON DECEMBER 25? When NIMROD , the founder of Babylon, died, SEMIRAMIS his wife told the people that her husband’s spirit had taken possession of the Sun. She encouraged the people to pay homage to her husband by worshipping the Sun. Thus began the evil practice of sun worship and the popularity of turning the Sabbath worship into Sunday worship. Later on when Semiramis gave birth to a son by the name of, TAMMUZ she hid her licentious form of living by lying to the people. She told them that she was miraculously overshadowed by the spirit of her dead husband, Nimrod, and it was in this way she was able to bring forth this so-called “son of god.”
Semiramis also declared that her son, Tammuz, was in actuality the return or rebirth of her husband, Nimrod. Hence through this teaching the doctrine of reincarnation was born. And since Tammuz was born on December 25, this day was highly honored and recognized by Nimrod’s supporters. Note, therefore, that this date (December 25) was observed in honor of the birth of Tammuz long before Christianity existed, and that it was not until many centuries later this pagan custom was “Christianized” as being the birthday of Christ (or Christmas day).
It was not long before Nimrod’s followers began to also worship Semiramis. And her son Tammuz (Zero-ashta) was worshipped as well. More and more Semiramis was revered by the people and was viewed by many as a priestess and goddess. Later on she also became known as “THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN” Thus began the awful practice of exalting human deities and saints spread upon by the Roman empire era. These false beliefs have led up to the many different forms of idolatry that are still practiced by different people and popular religions today. Yes, it was through the introduction of these satanic evils and the many sacrilegious practices of ancient Babylon that witchcraft, priestcraft, spiritualism, and other forms of paganism were born. Do not be deceived!
Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a Child is born,Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called: Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
A. The CHILD had to be BORN.: The Human side of Jesus.
The exact date of birth of Jesus was not stated in the Gospel or in any historical sources, but most biblical scholars generally accept a date of birth between 6 BC and 4 BC . Born . 6 to 4 BC. Herodian kingdom, Roman Empire.
“FOR UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN.” This is looking at the event from the human side of Jesus.” “He made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the LIKENESS OF MEN ” (Philippians 2:7).
This is Jesus in the human side story of Christmas:
A young couple is forced by a decree of Caesar to journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem to enroll for a new taxation to be imposed on the world by Rome. We watch as her husband tries desperately to find a place of shelter in the enclosed wall of the Inn. Now there is no more time, the contractions are coming too rapidly. They arrange some hay in the stable where she delivers her firstborn Son. We watch her as she tenderly swaddles the child and lays Him in the manger. Another little boy born in the tribe of Judah, a descendant of King David. Much more. The husband is not the father of the child. The young girl is a virgin. Nine months previous to this event, an angel had appeared to her saying – Luke 1:28. But an angel also came to her husband to be and told him to take her as his wife, assuring him that the conception was from God. So they called His name Yeshua or in the Creek, Jesus. He was named after His Father. Soon shepherds guided by the directions of the angels are to appear at the manger to gaze wonderingly at this child which, according to the angels, was to be their Savior, Christ, Lord.
WHY A CHILD HAD TO BE BORN? : “TO BE RELATABLE AS HE SHOW US THE WAY!”
He knows what it is to grow as a normal child, the diversity struggles of youth and the hardships of adulthood. He understands you very well. If Jesus were not fully man, HE COULD NOT STAND IN THE PLACE OF SINFUL MAN AND BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE PUNISHMENT which man deserves. He needs to feel the genuine pain in His death on the cross.
B. The SON had to be GIVEN: The Divine side of JESUS!
Looking now from another perspective. “UNTO US A SON IS GIVEN.” This SON ALREADY EXISTED AND NOW HE WILL BE GIVEN TO US!
He was the Word:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1 ASV
“And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.” John 1:14 ASV
THE DIVINELY SIDE STORY: God had made man for loving fellowship. But Man disobey and turned from God and lost his way. They moved farther away from God. Man was now hopelessly lost. SIN HAD CONSUMED ALL THE PEOPLE AND THEY NEED A HOLY SACRIFICE “A BLOOD OF THE LAMB” FOR ATONEMENT OF SIN. ONLY THE DIVINE SON OF GOD IS WORTHY TO DO THAT!
WHY THE SON HAD TO BE GIVEN ? FOR US TO BE SAVED!
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.” John 3:16 ASV
“For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.” John 3:17
Now “A Son is given.” “God so loved the world that He gave His ONLY BEGOTTEN SON.” “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and gave His Son…” sacrificial offering for our sins.
What a glorious truth! We needed a perfect, infinite Being to offer a perfect, infinite atonement for our sins. He never became less God, but He added a human nature to His divine nature, and so became one person with two distinct natures, functioning together in perfect harmony. The humanity that Jesus added to His Divine nature was not the sinful humanity we commonly know, but the perfect humanity of Adam and Eve before the fall.
We should not be confused or be concern for the exact day, month or season of Jesus birth for this world has offered so much of deception. We should focus on the ESSENCE of this occasion the “birth of Jesus”. The fact why He MUST be given and He NEEDS to be born humbly in the manger. Jesus alone is worthy of your praise, loyalty and love. Would you accept this one time gift in exchange for your whole life’s eternal glorious future?
