Christmas celebrations should be in September

The other day I saw one of the first Christmas ads on television, and I thought, “Christmas is here already!”

Well, actually this may be closer to the truth than we may think. Celebrating Christmas on December 25 and citing the true date of Yeshua’s (Jesus’) birth in the Jewish /Hebrew calendar are two different things.

Our clue is with Yeshua’s cousin, John the Baptist (Yochanan). His father Zechariah was a priest in the Temple in Jerusalem and was ministering there when the Angel Gabriel appeared to him announcing that his barren wife Elizabeth (Elisheva) would have a special son.
