The Once Barren but now 6 Month pregnant Elizabeth celebrating a
Today, December 25, 2010, over a third of the Abraham’s descendants around the world are celebrating the birth of the Messiah. Inherent deep inside we know that this day was not the day His birth for the shepherds did not “watch over their flocks by night” in the hillsides surrounding Bethlehem in late December. The corrupted Christian tradition persists, yet people continue to love and celebrate the Messiah that would come into this world as prophesied by Isaiah;
Yesha‘Yahu (Isaiah) 7:14 – “Behold, the maiden will become pregnant and bear a son, and you will name him Immanuel.”
Yet, something did mysterious happen on this day, that historically did not come in a day synchronized with the Roman apostate Gregorian calendar, but was synchronized with the living and practicing Jewish calendar of that day in Israel, called Judea. It was the evening of the 25th day of Kislev; the Jewish Celebration of Hanukkah the “Celebration of Lights” was celebrated when the Menorah was lit on the newly repaired and cleansed Temple of Zerubabbel. To their dismay, the priests had only a week’s supply of purified olive oil. It would take 7-10 days to bring new oil down where the purest oil vats in Judea was harvested from the olive orchards surrounding Mount Carmel.

HaShem gives us these living dramas as signals to recreate spiritual truths and living realities. The birth of the Messiah would come, nine months later, born in a Succot while millions of Jews were celebrating the fall Festival of Succot while shepherds truly were tending their flocks by night while the Davidian Princess Miriam and her husband, the Prince of David, Joseph were residing in temporary succots (dwelling places) on the hillsides surrounding Bethlehem, celebrating the Jewish redemption from slavery and bondage in Egypt, when Princess Miriam gave birth to Prince Yahshua (G-d saves, G-d delivers, G-d rescues). Called the “Feast of Tabernacles”, this festival anticipates that day when the Jewish people of the future will be anticipating when G-d’s Messiah will come down and manifest again Himself to them, this time to dwell and to “tabernacle” with His people during the future Messianic Millennial Reign.
Mikhan (Micah) 5:1-4 (parts): “Bethlehem – Ephratah – you are too small to be among the thousands of Judah, but from you someone will emerge for Me to be a ruler over Israel; and his origins will be from early times, from days of old.
Therefore He will deliver them (to their enemies) until the time that a woman in childbirth gives birth; then the rest of his brothers (Lost Tribes of the House of Israel) will return with the Children of Israel. He will stand up and lead with the strength of HaShem, with the majesty of the Name of HaShem his G-d. They will settle (in peace), for at that time he will be great to the ends of the earth, and this will (assure) peace.
The celebration of the Conception of Yahshua HaMaschiah, as the true manifested Divine “Light of the World” was possible revealed on the 2nd day of Chanukah for on this day the oil in the menorah should have flickered out, but by divine intervention continued for an entire eight days; thus the eight days of Hanukkah.
Yochanan (John) 8:12 – “Yahshua spoke to them again: ‘I am the light of the world; whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light which gives life.’”
