Part 6: Conclusion

By: David Deschesne

Yahoshua (Jesus) the Christ was not born on December 25, as we have been led by our traditions
to believe.
At the Council of Arles in 314, Constantine retained his own divine status by introducing the
omnipotent God of the Christians as his personal sponsor. He then dealt with the anomalies of
doctrine by replacing certain aspects of Christian ritual with the familiar pagan traditions of sun
worship, together with other teachings of Syrian and Persian origin. In short, the new religion of
the Roman church was constructed as a hybrid to appease all influential factions. By this
means, Constantine looked towards a common and unified world religion - Catholic meaning
universal - with himself at its head. [emphasis in original]

It was the adoption of these pagan practices of tree worship, Sun worship with the observance of
the Saturnalia festival on December 25, and other pagan rituals involving holly, Yule logs and
mistletoe that coalesced over the centuries into the traditions most Christians associate with
Christs birth today.
Thus it is clearly proved that our present Christmas Day is erroneous. This festival on
December 25th was in existence long centuries before Jesus was born. It was a pagan festival, to
which a Christian terminology has been applied and most of our Christian customs (nice though
some of them have become) are of pagan origin. It was the old Babylonian Feast of Bacchus, the
drunken festival. In Rome, December 25th was the Feast of Saturn, and like the Babylonian feast
from which it was derived, was also a feast of unrestricted drunkenness. What is perhaps our
commonest Christmas custom, the Christmas Tree, was just as common in pagan Egypt and
Rome, but in Egypt it was a palm tree while in Rome it was a fir tree.

The early Pilgrims and Puritans who settled in what is now the United States didnt celebrate
Christmas traditions on December 25th because they understood the pagan origins. Instead, they
treated it as just another work day. They also noted the fact that there was no Biblical authority
for the date of Christs birth or for the celebration thereof.

In all likelihood, Christ was born on September 29, 2 B.C., which was 1 Tisheri - the first day of
the Hebrew civil year and also the Feast of Trumpets. Using Zacharias ministry, his wife,
Elizabeths conception of John, the timing of Marys visit with Elizabeth, and the season in
which the Shepherds who visited the young Child would have been in the fields to begin with,
we find more evidence to support a late fall birth than a mid-winter one.
The most intriguing piece of evidence is that a chronology appears in the Great Pyramid of
Egypt, which is mentioned in Isaiah 19, that seems to indicate a birth date for Christ at
September 29, 2 B.C. - the 2 B.C. date is also corroborated by secular historians accounts of
Christ in comparison to the reign of Augustus, Herod and Cleopatra.
The Great Pyramid was constructed around 2,500 years before Christs birth and was sealed up
until 820 A.D. when the Arab, Caliph Al Mamoun found the entrance. Since the Great Pyramid
seems to accurately indicate the birth, death and resurrection of Christ within its chronologically
laid-out passageways, it has been concluded by some researchers that its design is of Divine
origin.
