That makes this something like Holy Year 1982 to Holy Year 1995...

I'll take 1982, and President Reagan pls.

[Nowhere Man]

No, but I’m pretty sure it means I was actually born in the 1970’s. ;)

I might be kicked back to the 1950's (born in 1966). B-)

Yeshua (Jesus isn't a Hebrew word) ...

Sure it is. It's an obvious transliteration. The "J" is a "Y" sound in many languages, especially the germanic ones. In others it is an "i-e" dipthong that has a "y" sound.

So we have: "yeh" "shoe" in hebrew and we have "yeh" "zoo" as a transliterate attempt to mimic the sound. With the "jay" pronunciation of "j" in English and the "ee" instead of "ei", you get "Jee" "zuz" from an earlier obvious "yeh-zoo".

The good news for messianics is that there was an effort to be faithful to the "yeshua" name as evangelism spread to other nations.

ROFL! You may want to have that coin authenticated. Ya think?

OK, so let’s just all agree that instead of 2012, it’s now 2016... just in time to elect a new president, and since Obama’s second term ends in 2016, he is no longer eligible.

This is stupid. Why would they do this?

Yeshua (Jesus isn't a Hebrew word) was born on Tishri 15, 3999.

I believe I've read in your earlier posts that you believe Jesus was born during the Feast of Tabernacles. Observant Jews were required to participate in this festival. From what I've read, the Gospels make no mention of Mary and Joseph attempting to celebrate Sukkot while on their way to Bethlehem to take part in Herod's census.

the Gospels make no mention of Mary and Joseph attempting to celebrate Sukkot while on their way to Bethlehem to take part in Herod's census.

You make a good point. What I've been asking myself is, why isn't there at least some mention of definitive times/places/events/etc that would help create proper/unquestionable time-lines of the birth/death events recorded in the new testament?

IMO, they seem to have been meticulously scrubbed and evidence destroyed. Why else would all of the original Hebrew scriptures go missing but to remove evidence? Perhaps original texts still exist and remain to be uncovered in the near future, hopefully shedding light on when certain events actually did occur.

There or other means such as astrological timing and prophecy from the Torah which is the most faithful record of scripture we have.

I made the declaration that Jesus was born on Tishria 15, 3999 to spark discussion. So far, you make only the second Freeper to comment on it. :)

It's just one of the most common dates referred to by a number who've studied it. Layae, Rood, ...

A number of us have been quarreling over the death and resurrection, events detailed with a great wealth of scripture compared with the birth, at this other thread: Jonah Code & 70 Weeks of Daniel Full Disk 1 of 5 by Michael Rood. We're having trouble agreeing but hopefully all learning much more in the process. ;)
