Was Jesus Born in a Sukkah? from Messianic Manna on Facebook
Has anyone ever wondered why does a manger scene resemble a baby in a Sukkah?
The answer is in the opinion of Messianic Manna is a simple one. Yeshua was actually born in a Sukkah (Booth). Am I saying that the feast of Sukkot is the time of Yeshua’s birth? Yes I am. The basic scenario is that Miriam was with child during Hanukah and gave birth during Sukkot. The Roman Church established a different time to celebrate His birth. The establishment of a different date to correspond with a Pagan date does not negate the actual date. Do I have anything to back up my reasoning. Ohh, but yes I do. The complete answer may be beyond the scope of this Facebook post. However in order to whet your appetite to study for yourself let me throw a few interesting tid bits at you.
1: Was you aware that the word “Stables” is in some cases interpreted from the Hebrew word Sukkot ?
יז. וְיַעֲקֹב נָסַע סֻכֹּתָה וַיִּבֶן לוֹ בָּיִת וּלְמִקְנֵהוּ עָשָׂה סֻכֹּת עַל-כֵּן קָרָא שֵׁם-הַמָּקוֹם סֻכּוֹת:
Gen. 33:17. And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built himself a house, and made booths for his cattle; therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
2: Did you notice that mankind carries a common ancient memory of Yeshua being born in a Stable that is usually depicted as temporary?
3: Did you know that if the birth of Yeshua is placed in the context of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) the story would then also account for the angelic greetings of “Hosanna in the highest!”—a pilgrimage-festival salutation connected with the recitation of the Hallel at Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkot.
4: Did you know that a medieval collection of anti-Christian Jewish folklore titled The Story about Shim’on Kefa (Simon Peter) (Aggadta DeShim’on Kefa, אגדתא דשמען כיפא) preserves Jewish traditions about the early Jewish believers and early Christians.?
Notice here what it says:
“And in the place of the festival of Sukkot, you will celebrate the day of his birth, and on the eighth day from his birth, you will celebrate his circumcision.” (Aggadta DeShim’on Kefa)
This is how the sect of the Nazarenes was seen from the perspective of mainstream Judaism. Can anyone see the importance of this?
5: Did you know that we can show through Theological reasoning that YoHanon the Immerser (John the Baptist) was born during Passover and that Yeshua was born 6 months later placing Yeshua's birth in the Feast of Sukkot (Tabernacles) ? This may also be shown by understanding the time when Zechariah’s ministration of the priesthood was in serving the Temple.
6: Did you know that Sukkot is also called the Feast of Tabernacles, and that the Brit Hadashah (New Testament) declares : “The Word became flesh and tabernacled among us” (John 1:14).
