Letter with Hanukkah 2023
Chag Sameach!
According to Rabbinic pre-set dating, tonight begins Hanukkah and it ends on the 15th. HOWEVER, by the ancient paths, (Jeremiah 6:16), the beginning of the month of Kislev, by sighting of the new moon from Jerusalem, makes Saturday night, December 9, 2023, the beginning of Hanukkah for 8 days, the eve of the 17th the end of it.
Actually the huge entourage from the nation of Parthia with many “wise men,” Magi, came to Bethlehem, following the unusual star alignment, which settled over Jerusalem. It took them months to make the journey. Herod was terrified of them because Parthia was terrifying Rome at the time. The “wise men,” “magi,” came, as it is said, with the treasure that Daniel left for Parthia’s magi to take to the Messiah.
Ezekiel was called to bring Yahuwah’s Word to those of Parthia because they were Israelites of the northern Kingdom. Ezekiel 2-3. Ezekiel did not want to go to the House of Israel, but he did. They were ruled over by the House of David via David’s son Nathan, rightful heir to David’s throne (not Solomon). If you look in Luke 4, you see that Miriam/Mary, mother of Yahushua, was from the lineage of Nathan, not Solomon. Yosef/Joseph was from the lineage of Solomon that died out after the Babylonian captivity. So, these magi came with Daniel legacy for the little King in 2 BCE.
Baby Yahushua was born September 11, 03 BCE, on the Feast of Trumpets. So, when the magi got there, with this huge demonstrative entourage, Herod was terrified. There were probably over 100 with the magi.
They came for one reason, besides delivering Daniel’s gift to bring the little King back to Parthia to rule. Reason: Little Yahushua was about 15 months old at the time. They brought probably him gifts equally over a million dollars in wealth, or more, in today’s U.S. currency. This is why the apostle Shaul commented that Messiah rejected the wealth. Of course, part of it was used when Yosef, Miriam, and Yahushua fled to Egypt to escape Herod’s wrath.
Parthia was an ancient Israelite Kingdom of the northern 10 tribes, a powerful Kingdom. By the time the magi’s arrived, the little family lived in a house. You can imagine what went through little Yahushua’s mind when the gifts of all that gold and precious jewels were given to the little boy.
Very interesting in the book of Haggai, that he talks about the timing of Miriam’s concept of Yahushua. Haggai 2:18-19… count 40 weeks from that Hanukkah time- average from conception to birth for a human being – and you come to September 11, 03 BCE – Yom Teruah. Yes, the seed was placed in the storehouse that will bless all nations! It is also the day of the perfect alignment of planets, giving explicit signs.
To get the whole story, pleases refer to “Yahushua’s Birthday – The Truth About September 11, 03 BCE” under the Mikvah of Eternal salvation #13.0.
This information was also podcasted in two parts. I take much of it from Ernest Martin’s book The Star That Astonished the World (c. 1996). His information is incredible documented and considered accurate even by leading astronomers. Matthew 2 and Luke 3 are incredibly accurate too.
September, day of Yom Teruah, … His return also is in that time period by His own announcement of it in Matthew 25. “No man knows the day or hour” was simple a code name, like “Turkey Day” for Thanksgiving in America,” that the disciples understood. The seven Festivals in Leviticus 23 from Passover to Sukkot, Feast of Tabernacles, is simply the plan of salvation from Messiah’s death to His second coming.
It would be during the Fall Festivals of the month of Tishre that He would come – as Great High Priest and King, He returns on Yom Teruah. Revelation 2 speaks of the 10 days of awe being the time of great martyrdom, which is the 10 days between Tishre 1 and Tishre 10 – on Yom Teruah, “the day of the lifting of the bridal veil.” It is the final attempt of anti-messiah to destroy humanity.
So much accuracy can be learned when we go by the ancient paths. Jeremiah 6:16. Shalom, Yedidah
