I do find it interesting when God uses His enemies to do His will... without Augustus requiring the census, there would have no reason for eight months pregnant Mary and husband Joseph to travel 90 miles from Nazareth the Bethlehem to fulfill Micah 5:2.
BTW: Bethlehem was where the Temple lambs for sacrifice were raised... after birth they were swaddled to keep them from injuring themselves... as to insure they were “without blemish.” As per Exodus 12:5.
Jesus the Lamb without sin (blemish).
Today is also 1/1 if one is telling time like Moses.
7/1 if telling time like Noah..
1/14 is when the Passover Lamb was slain, according to the scriptures.
March 28 on the world calendar this year.
The Father and Son’s Passover conflicts with the church’s Palm Sunday this year, which also looks like it’s on March 28.
Or maybe it’s the other way around. The church’s Palm Sunday conflicts with the Father and Son’s Passover.
Depends on one’s perspective.
