Ever since @Silk shared this video: Mazzoroth the story of Yeshua ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUQEMqF5dL8 ) I have become intrigued with the idea of KNOWING Christ's true birthday.
Now I am now astronomy- I wouldn't even call myself a novice - however; I downloaded the program that the guy is using in the video (Stellarium http://www.stellarium.org/ )and have been tinkering around with it. Also I have learned more about the 'Feasts' in the last couple weeks than I have known my whole life.
I was able to duplicate the results for the most part in the program using the dates shown; compiled on with the knowledge of the harvest and Feast of Trumpets ( https://www.hebcal.com/holidays/rosh-hashana ) & Scripture; I believe it is plausible that Jesus was born in September -2 BC.
Using Stellarium; looking at the stars and moon cycle: I believe it is also plausible that Christ was born between September 9th (the New Moon) and September 14. Looking at the Feast of Trumpets and when the crescent moon would be visible: I believe they would have blown the trumpets after seeing the crescent moon between September 11-14th. However; the Crescent moon would have been extremely difficult to see on the 11th & 12th as it was almost in line with the sun. The first good viewing of the crescent moon would have been on September 13th-or possibly the 14th depending on weather conditions.
Could it be that Christ was born at the blowing of the Shofar on September 13-14th -2 BC? Thoughts?
FYI: The same dates are listed for This years 'Feast of Trumpets' / Rosh Hashanah.
