The Bible doesn’t tell us the date of Jesus’ birth—so why even ask the question?

In this episode, we explore why timing in Scripture is never accidental, and why Jesus’ arrival may have been far more deliberately orchestrated than we’ve assumed. Without dogmatism or sensationalism, we examine a compelling convergence of biblical chronology, Jewish feast patterns, priestly service cycles, and ancient astronomy that points toward a narrow window: the Feast of Trumpets, September 10–11, 3 B.C.

Along the way, we look carefully at Revelation 12’s “sign in the heavens,” the Star of Bethlehem through Jupiter and Regulus, Zechariah’s priestly service, shepherds in the fields, and the theological meaning of God aligning history, heaven, and prophecy around the birth of His Son.

This is not an attempt to replace Scripture with science, nor to debunk Christmas traditions—but to marvel at the possibility that the King of Kings entered the world on the very day Israel celebrated the coronation of kings.

Whether you find the argument convincing or simply thought-provoking, one thing becomes clear:
Jesus’ birth was not random—and neither is your story.
