Luke 1:26 -2:40
The Angel Gabriel came to Maryin the sixth month(Elul-our August or September) of the Hebrew Calendar and told her of the coming Birth of the Messiah.
1. She was told by the Angelthat her relative, in the hill country of Judah, Elizabeth was six months pregnant.
2. At that time, Mary than went to visit Elizabethin Judah.
3 Upon arriving at her relatives house she heard amazing prophecies concerning her soon to be born son, Jesus.
4. Mary stayed with Elizabethuntil she gave birth to John the Baptist (for about 3 months) and then she returned home to Nazareth in Galilee.
5. I would expect that Mary would have conceived (about that time or shortly thereafter the Feast of Trumpets) sometime between the Angel's announcement to her and her leaving Elizabeth's house (roughly a 3, 31/2 month period-between Elul and Bul (our August to November)). (Feast of Tabernacles shortly thereafter)
6. Hence, should have been able to sense Jesus' movementssometime between Tebeth (our December or January)and Ziv (our April or May) approaching the time of the Feast of Passover/Unleavened Bread and First Fruits.
Conclusion
7. And finally, Jesus' birth should have taken place sometime between Ziv (our May) and Ethanim (our September). My closest most reasonable educated guess,I would postulate conception took place, while Mary was at her relatives house (approximately early mid stay) about 4 to 6 weeksafter the advisory from the Angelconcerning the coming of Jesus. This timing to the key event of conception would tend todemonstrate that the fertilization took place sans Joseph.
8. So, if it was about 5 weeks after the Angels announcement to Mary that should be about September 19thto October 20th..
9. Sensing the child's first movementsat about February 6thto March 10th.(Passover/Unleavened Bread/First Fruits)
10. Finally, Jesus should have been bornsometime between June 5thand July 13th. (Shortly afterPentecost (the Harvest Festival))
11. In addition, giving birth at about the end of June or the beginning of Julyprovides plenty of time for the farmers and laborers such as Joseph and others to finish up harvestand attendant other things and to make the trip to be counted for the Roman censusin good weather.
12. The solution for everything, in my very, very strongly held view is: Romans 6:5!
"If we are in the likeness of His death, we shall
also be of resurrection!"
