- In this episode we look at why Yeshua was born in Bethlehem. We investigate even more evidence about this event, including from rabbinical sources, and consider what it means that He was born in the fields of Bethlehem.

Help us bring this life-giving truth to our people here and around the world!
I learned new things tonight that I never heard from any pulpit! Thank you and Lord, please bring the Jews to wanting to receive peace with You, Father in Heaven, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Please bless One For Israel's ministry in abundance, may they bear much fruit! Thank You for their faithfulness to teach Your word and proclaim the Gospel, in Jesus Christ's name. Amen!
Dr broshi is one of the impeccable scholar I have listened , uses his sources so good to bring us to better understand the Faith in Jesus .
Jesus Christ(Yuashua) was not born on December 25, 2023. This day was a pagan holiday by the Romans and also Easter. The reason why us Christians gravitate to the season is because of the Joy, Love and the tabernacle with our families, love ones and friends. I tried not to be caught up in excessive spending and placing myself into debts. The Christians are called upon to spread the word of Jesus Christ everyday and live as if today is the last day. I live simple although I can afford to live extravagant. The Christians are called upon to look after the oppressed, those in prison, widows and the poor. Statistics has shown that there are more lonely persons and suicide during Christmas, that means the devil get loose. We as Christians should pray that God will direct us to the poor, people planning to commit suicide, widows, the oppressed and prisoners during this season.
Once again thank you for your wisdom and knowledge of the bible.
I am always so amaze. Yes do pray for my Jewish bothers and Sisters for their salvation. Have a good Shabbos and a blessed week 🙏
Amazing teaching, Our Father in Heaven keep blessing your Ministry in the almighty name of our Lord and Savior Yeshua, our Messiah.
I Love Golan's humility, with Gods Help! That is the dependance that God is look for from us. Praise God!
Wonderful teaching once again , opens so much of the scriptures, blessings from Scotland
Very interesting and inspiring! Thank you both! Glory to God!
Dr your talks are so amazing - looking for more - Baruch Atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech HaOlam
There is a song that we sing around Christmas that says that Everyday is Christmas for us, for Jesus is here, His presence is near, Everyday is Christmas for us. When Jesus comes into our hearts, every day is Christmas! Messiah born into our heart!
The Bible is full of Yeshua that say we must celebrate His birth in December, AND we must OBEY the bible. Just like the the King in 1 Kings 12:33, that decide to change Gods appointed times.... and look what happend to him and his followers. Dont mock God.
@@thankful7hi, can you please post the verses. Thank you
This was so enlightening and edifying. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, it helps to deepen my appreciation for scripture.
Hallelujah!! God bless you all my brothers and sisters in Christ there in ISRAEL🙏😇 i love you all❣️ Glory to GOD and our Lord JESUS CHRIST(YESHUA HAMASHIACH) 👑✝️🕊️🙌
Roman records should have a date for this census.. Travel in winter would be difficult with rain and cold weather. Taxation usual came when the great final harvest of the Fall came in and the people had their tax money from their crops. Also, were shepherds in the fields watching their flocks in the middle of winter? Enjoyed the discussion!
I love your ministry! I continue to learn and be freed up from things I’ve been so hung up on! God bless you!!
Introduction to Rabbinical Literature very nice to study this course for the next school year 2022. But I will continue to enjoy watching and listening to the Biblical Theological Drs from ONE FOR ISRAEL Ministry. And continuing to study the Complete Holy Hebrew Scriptures. Very LOVELY to watch and listen to you all the time. Very edifying too. Chag - Hug ChristMAS Sameach. Todah Rabah Holy Trinity. Beshem Adonai Elohai YESHUA Hamoshiach. Heaven and earth will pass away AND YOUR eternal living WORD will REMAIN FOREVERMORE. Everything which was written and foretold will be soon totally completely FULFILLED. HalleluJAH amen.
This is an awesome teaching. God bless you.

Hi. I started listening to this a short while ago.
Who is the host? He never seems to introduce himself.
It is always so inspirational listening to you two men. I learn so much! Praying for your ministry!
Who is the host?
Thank you Father for this wonderful ministry coming out of Zion. Thank you so much for your people Israel. This ministry is like life from the dead for us Gentiles. We need the Firstborn we need each other. We must support this 🙌🙏🏻🕎👏
your last name suggests you come from the tribe of LEVI... but anyway... as Paul mentions in Romans... the true sons and daughters of Abraham are the ones living in FAITH.
Amen @Bren Lewis.
According to Jesus teachings, the new Zion is you (the old Zion is an earthly thing, Jesus said we are in earth but we are not from earth now), You are the temple where He resides, Zion. If you believe in Jesus, you are no longer a Jew, you are a Christian. Because Jesus said He came to end the Law, if you follow the Law you will be judge by the Law (which nobody can fulfil, that is the reason we need a savior) but if you come to the New covenant then you are safe by Grace. not saying that the old testament has no Power, because the Word of God is eternal power, But the Word became flesh. and Jesus has the eternal power, dominion and authority in Hell, Earth and in Heaven, so we have to look forward, to the new covenant always. As is written, do not care if you are Abraham seed, because God can make seed of Abraham from a rock, but be baptize for the repentance of your sins and be born again of the spirit. God is Spirit so be born again from God. So let's receive the Holy Spirit sent by Jesus after he ascended, the same spirit that raise Jesus from the dead, wants to live in you. Your body is the Temple, your body is the new Zion.
I loooooove fellow Christians like you who are so loving to us Jews and Israel! You are GOD’S people toooooo!!!!!!! 🙏❤️
My view is that Yahshua was conceived at Hanukkah and born at Sukkot. Josephus tells us when it was the turn of Abiyah to preform at the temple to confirm when John was conceived at is end June. Every important event from Genesis to Revelation has and will happen at Yah's appointed/seasons. Yah says we should not worship him as the heathens (their ways) and that we should not have ANYTHING with the ways of the heathens (the pagan dates/days).
yea it would make a lot of sense if the Messiah was born in a sukkah during Sukkot =)
*WHEN WAS JESUS REALLY BORN ?*
Luke 2:11
“For unto you is born THIS DAY in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord.” KJV
While Christians are universally aware that December 25th is not the date of Christ's birth, few seem to realise that we ARE ACTUALLY TOLD in Scripture WHEN it DID TAKE PLACE and we find the answer in Luke Chapter 1, Verse 26
Luke 1:26,27
“And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to
a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.” KJV
The angel Gabriel came to Mary [Miriam] in ‘THE’ sixth month [in the Biblical Hebrew Calendar that would be the month of ELUL around late August - early September] and she conceived at that time [when her cousin Elizabeth was in HER sixth month of pregnancy], so that nine months later Yeshua was in all likelihood born at Passover, since He came as the Passover Lamb. to be the fulfilment of the Passover Lamb.
NB: The NIV and NLT Bibles change ‘in the sixth month’ ... to ... ‘in her cousin Elizabeth’s sixth month of pregnancy’ WHICH IS NOT WHAT THE WORD SAYS!
Moreover the shepherds of Bethlehem would have, at that time, only been watching over their flocks by night because it was lambing season. It was Spring time.
The fact that all lambs born in Bethlehem were specifically for the purpose of sacrifice at the Temple in nearby Jerusalem, made it even more significant and appropriate that the LAMB OF GOD that takes away the sin of the world - John 1:29 - should also have been born there. It also explains why the shepherds should, rightly, be the first to be told of the birth of our Passover Lamb - Jesus Christ.
The Hebrew annual Calendar of 360 days added a 13th month at intervals of two to three years and we don’t know precisely which year that occurred. We also don’t know exactly which year Jesus was born since Herod reputedly died in 4 BC. But since Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Spring time and is called Our Passover Lamb [1 Corinthians 5:7] it is therefore HIGHLY likely He was born on Passover. Which would mean His birth and death occurred on the same day; His life on earth being thirty three years and His ministry three years in duration
********
There is also the lesser possibility He was born fifty days later at PENTECOST/SHAVUOT - depending on whether the Hebrew year that year had consisted of 12 or 13 months.
Since Yeshua's first coming fulfilled the four Spring Feasts, and His second coming will fulfil the three Fall Feasts, His birth could equally have taken place at either Passover or Pentecost. The latter also making sense as it would mean, were He born on Shavuot/Pentecost, that God, who is the embodiment of Three (ie the Trinity), gave the LAW, the SON, and the HOLY SPIRIT on that same day; the Feast of Pentecost.
********
But whenever He was born, the glorious truth we celebrate at Christmas
is the fact that HE CAME, and came that we might have life, and LIFE ETERNAL
Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive their King!
Jesus is coming again very soon,
not as a babe in swaddling cloths
but in power and glory, to rule and to reign forevermore.
@@susettemclachlan8765 it does not tell us that actually and the winter dates were based on not bad inferences
They’re not pagan dates
@@l21n18 they are. Christmas, or christ-mass was formed by the Roman (key word: Roman) Catholic church around the 300's. The Roman Catholic church was battling the pagan religions at the time and were looking for a way to make it easier to convert pagans to Christianity. The winter solstice was the most important pagan holiday as they saw it as the birth or conception of their head pagan deity the sun. To combat this, the Roman Catholic Church took the winter solstice and turned it into a mass to celebrate the birth of Jesus. The cutting down of the tree and bringing it inside to decorate it was taken from Nordic pagan religions where they would worship the tree gods around the same time. The hanging of stockings over the fireplace also comes from Nordic pagan religions where their druids would climb in through the chimneys due to heavy snow and would dry magic mushrooms over the fireplace in their socks.
After the Roman emperor Constantine struggled to snuff out Christianity through force, he changed tactics and worked with the church to create Roman catholicism. They replaced the Roman pantheon of gods with saints and they replaced the pagan mother goddess of asteroth with mother Mary.
While Christmas is a good time to talk to people about Jesus, and is the only time you will hear Christian songs in stores, it's important to know the history of Christmas as the bible clearly states not to mix pagan religions with Christianity. We are called to be separate from the world not a part of the world
I too, learn so much from each session so thank you. I presumed shepherds would only be out watching the sheep in the summer months, but I wouldn't really know and besides I agree, his birth date is of far less importance than the reason. The resurrection is the really important point.
I find it hard to join in Christmas celebration because it is directly connected to Pagan idolatry and also the word "Christmas " is a catholic term. In love for Abba, I humbly reject the holiday because Yahuah commands it. There is no making what's evil for good, that can only be done by Our God. This is not my judgment but His Words. Cling to what is good, recoil from evil.
Brother, I don’t think this video is encouraging the celebration of Christmas and it’s origin. I think what they are doing is encouraging to continue love, regardless of ones conviction and understanding, because at the end of the day that’s what it is. We have nothing to show us such ancient abomination other than our history books themselves. And the actual practices were a lot more pagan and “wicked” than the dressed up simulation that’s practiced by believers around the world, which is love, kindness, giving, hospitality, care, forgiveness and repentance towards one another and El Himself. And against such, if I’m not mistaken, there is no Law. So yes, I do not personally observe and celebrate Christmas. I know it’s roots and I can complete every Christians goal during Christmas 365 days a year instead of waiting and participating in something that I have “researched” (not read in the Bible) originated from the Pagans. But my brethren who believe in the same El and are not there yet but genuinely love and follow our Messiah in the same walk He did, and love, I am not going to condemn and judge, for even our Messiah said He did not come to judge. That happens from another One in the last day. It will come and be just. But this division created from Torah Roots is not from Yah, I know that. Been in it for almost 4 years and I’m telling you, it’s not one or the other, Christian or Torah Roots, it’s the in between. These new “two sticks” have to come together in Mashiach. Don’t get me started on the Torah, I know it very intimately. I’m telling you....listen to Mashiach and His apostles...don’t just use them to confirm your theology. Read it, and listen.....what’s the message?! Shalom brethren...
I agree. However, I do wish they'd give a gentle rebuke. We see it over and over again In the new testament Acts 15, colossians 3 Galatians 4 where new believing gentiles would hang onto or return to their pagan practices (things that have evolved into Christmas and Easter today). We should make Yahweh's appointed festivals and the importance clear to everyone
Colossians 2:
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or *in respect of an holyday,* or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
As a Gentile, even though I understand the significance of the Jewish feasts and how they point and foreshadow Messiah, I personally don't celebrate them (till the Lord returns that is, Zechariah 14:6), and don't judge the Jews who do celebrate them, for they are THEIR feasts, yet it seems, from a scriptural standpoint that to celebrate those feasts as an unbelieving Jew for the sake of "tradition", without receiving the Messiah that they signify would make that unbelieving Jew (Is 1) no different than a pagan.
Christmas to us believers is indeed everyday, and I take the opportunity of this holiday season to teach my children and grandchildren about the Saviour who was gifted unto us (Is 9:6), the Christmas tree symbolizing Christ, the tree of life, into whom we must all be grafted in, we being the branches..
As far as Easter goes, not many probably know that the Spanish word for Easter is Pascuas, which is a Spanish translation of the word for "Passover"..
@@samuelguzman5348 I agree with most of what you said except the word for Easter. Because the word Easter didn’t come from the Spanish, but it’s true origin is the Word Ishtar, which is a false goddess from times of old even up to today. And EVERYTHING about your typical Easter celebration, and I mean everything, is tied to this false goddess and her weeping for her son, Tammuz. Believe me, has nothing to do with His resurrection. But I don’t condemn those who celebrate His resurrection, even if they misunderstand the holiday they use....I know most of them truly love Him and want to express it. There is some interesting info on both of these “holidays”...look it up from a non bias stand point for truth. But, keep praising Yah and our Messiah, regardless. HalleluYah, shalom...
@@samuelguzman5348 I will also tell you, and I pray you receive it humbly and they with the truth hear it humbly as well...but these Torah men and women, who preach about these pagan holidays, do have the full truth. It’s only the presentation and accusations put out there are quite off, that’s all. But the truth is there, we as Christians have in fact been lied to
Haha! Even the rabbinic sources acknowledge the Truth! I love it. And just going through the Old Testament there are so many signs pointing to this
Thank you for all your teachings. Blessings!
Love your teachings!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
Beautiful message, reason for the season...Father God made the Way so we can have true Peace, first, with Him, then, among us. To Him be glory and honor, He sent His Peace to the world, Yeshua, the Prince of Peace! Now, we must repent from our evil works and turn to Him. Shalom from Ecuador 🇪🇨
I love that the shepherds,would know what to look for,a savior wrap in strips of cloth,because that’s how they wrap the lamb’s that we’re born♥️
So not to bruise or scar The sacrificial lamb👑
Glory to GOD ! You really are doing a GREAT job for your people !!!!! Be bless "One for Israël"
Love these simple straightforward teaching videos. God bless you, brothers! Have a blessed Christmas!
LOVE THIS! ❤ THANK YOU!
How blessed to be in this revelation 🙏🏼🌷Thank you 🙏🏼
Just found your channel was from Watcher Palmer! He speaks so highly of you!
😅 yup! like i always say ..."EVERY day is Christmas!!" Our revelation of the Person of Christ, His Finished Work & DAILY, ever-so-present Presence & Hand in our lives is a Constant Light of Life & Source of Joy!
Im thankful that Jesus came!! I stopped keeping Christmas or Easter 4 years ago. I heard the Lord say to me in the middle of a fast, "You keep their days but you don't keep Mine.". As a gentile believer in Jesus, I immediately began keeping the feasts of the Lord, and Chanukah. Blessings ❤
I am blessed 😇 thanks for teaching 😊.
It has been lovely listening to this again.
Shalom Aleichem,
The IRONY of it all!
The sealed prophecies of Daniel have been opened in the book of Revelation; even so, the days before His return have remained a mystery until now. And this knowledge, which gives clarity to those prophecies is inaccessible due to bias and fear.
The real irony is the realization that the church may be the prophesied return of Ephraim.
And Zechariah12:10 blows me away.
I don't miss Christmas, and I really enjoy keeping the feast of the Lord. You know, Messianic Seders popping up in homes across America, and Sukkot camp gatherings in nearly every state of the union (no telling how much longer the union will last).
Baruch HaShem!
Be well and be Blessed,
A fellow sojourner
Excellent teaching! Thank you!
Merry belated Christmas to all of us who have fellowship with Yeshua! This season is so important because He is coming and I pray that all of Israel will receive Him as Lord and Savior. It is my hope and prayers for 2022 and that we all prepare in our hearts for His final coming. Shalom!
It's not in the Bible it is satanic worship pagan
Proverbs 25:2 "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter
and the glory of kings to search it out."
It’s interesting to look into the origins of Christmas to find that it is actually a pagan festival where they worshipped the sun-god, and that it was adopted by the Roman church who ordered it to be celebrated as a Christian festival.
God has never commanded us to do Christmas, neither did Jesus nor His disciples celebrate Christmas, for It was not invented at that time. Surely if It was of God He would have given us a date. It is truely man’s idea. And the spirit of Christmas is that which comes out of a bottle, definitely not of the Spirit of God.
Uh no this is completely wrong actually including the pagan festival part and everything else on there
Praise 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄
@@l21n18 it was celebrated 2000 years before Christ as the winter solstice and a celebration of Tammuz, the Sun Gods birth.
The Christmas tree gives it away. It is a Babylonian tradition found in Jeremiah 10. Even Billy Graham admitted it is derived from a pagan holiday.
His answer to it? We’ve taken a pagan holiday and christianized it. 🧐 But have we? Atheists, agnostics, Muslims, wicans, and Satanists also love Christmas. Should we attach Christ’s name to a holiday the world loves so much? Do you really think the Father would pick such an erroneous date to celebrate his Son’s birthday or were other entities involved in the choosing of December 25th. Remember, “God is not the author of confusion.”
@@Khananyahu Is that ancient Hebrew writing?
@@naturescoper3936 yes
Why does Micah 4:8 say DAUGHTER of Zion/ Jerusalem?
Your podcast is a blessing. Thank you for your teachings. Merry Christmas
So beautiful.
I completely missed that "peace"
So so beautiful ❤❤❤
YHWH told us in His Word to look to the heavens for signs. He gave us the Mazzaroth which coincides with the Feasts. Yeshua was born during Sukkot not just because of it being the Feast of Tabernacles but also because of the sign of the virgin who is waving the First Fruits, which symbolizes Yeshua HaMashiach. He is YHWH's First Fruits. Study the Mazzaroth. HaSatan skewed it to produce the zodiac but the Mazzaroth still belongs to YHWH and was given to us by Him as signs of the times and seasons.
December 25th was given to the world by the pope. You can keep it. I'll choose purity in my worship, thank you very much.
I was always under the understanding that Jesus Christ was born during lambing season, when the Shepherds would be out in the fields watching over their flocks, and was placed in the same location that the Passover lambs were placed. In spring time.
Yes, in Luke 2:8 the shepherds were tending their flocks at the same time Jesus was born…..definitely not in December at winter time
It's worse than that, Dec 25th is the birthdate of Tammuz, which goes back centuries before the Pope. The Roman Catholic Church incorporated existing pagen idolitry into the church.
Imagine thinking you're holier than everybody else because you don't want to celebrate the miracle of the incarnation 🙄🙄
*WHEN WAS JESUS REALLY BORN ?*

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”
-John 1:14
“Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!”
-2 Corinthians 9:18
“He’s the King of the Jews
He’s the King of Israel
He’s the King of Righteousness
He’s the King of the Ages
He’s the King of Heaven
He’s the King of Glory
He’s the King of Kings
and He is the Lord of Lords
Do you know Him?
He’s the wellspring of wisdom
He’s the doorway of deliverance
He’s the pathway of peace
He’s the roadway of righteousness
He’s the highway of holiness
He’s the gateway of glory
He’s the master of the mighty
He’s the captain of the conquerors
He’s the head of the heroes
He’s the leader of the legislators
He’s the overseer of the overcomers
He’s the governor of governors
He’s the prince of princes
He’s the King of Kings
And He’s the Lord of Lords
That’s my King
Do you know Him?”
His Name is Yeshua… Jesus!
If you do not know the LORD, please do not wait another moment...
“Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
-2 Corinthians 6:2
None of us knows how long we have on this earth. The only opportunity we are guaranteed to have is right now...
A: Admit you have Sinned
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
-Romans 3:23
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
-Romans 6:23
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
-1 John 1:9
It is tough to admit that we are wrong. Even before God, we feel we are basically good, and we would like to think we are never as bad as some... we are ALL sinners and can never be good enough to earn our own way to heaven. Jesus spoke to the scribes and Pharisees saying,
“Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell?”
-Matthew 23:33
They believed that faithfully following rituals and traditions would get them into heaven. We are all like those scribes and Pharisees when we believe we can save ourselves by good works or following religious rituals and traditions. That path takes us to one place only... hell!
Please listen, there is a way...
The ONLY WAY...
B: Believe in Jesus our Savior
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”
-John 3:16-17
“So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
-Acts 16:31
“And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the Name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment.”
-1 John 3:23
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” -Ephesians 2:8-9
Salvation is not complicated.
Jesus said, “Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”
- Mark 10:15
A child simply puts their trust (faith) in their parents protective arms. Likewise, we entrust our life to Jesus our Savior, believing on Him and His finished work on the cross. The Apostle Paul defined the message of the Gospel (good news) like this-
“...that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,”
- 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
Jesus, the perfect, sinless lamb, the Son of God, laid down His life and took the death penalty meant for us, dying in our place (read Isaiah 53:6). He paid the debt we could not pay and redeemed us (bought us back) from the power of sin and death. (read John 1:29 / Galatians 3:13 / Romans 3:25)
C: Confess Jesus is Lord and Savior
“...that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
-Romans 10:9-10
“The LORD is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”
-2 Peter 3:9
God fulfilled His promise, sending His one and only Son to die in our place. He has offered us the most precious gift-salvation, the forgiveness of sin, eternal life with Him in heaven. BUT…we must receive that gift. We must confess our sins (read 1 John 1:9 ) and proclaim our faith (belief) in the death, burial and resurrection of God’s only begotten son, our Savior Jesus. Confessing with our mouth requires an outward, public action, not a secret, hidden, timid faith. The Apostle Paul boldly proclaimed his faith so that others could hear and be saved. God’s plan of salvation is freely offered to everyone.
If you are not familiar with prayer, it is simply talking to God openly and honestly.
Remember, the Bible says we are saved by grace through faith. God sees our heart. We are not saved by simply saying some special words in a formal prayer. We are saved when we reach out by faith, admit our sin, repenting from believing our actions save us to belief in Jesus and His sacrifice for us, confessing Him as our Lord and Savior. Saving faith produces a forever changed life.
The Bible is God’s message to us. It’s readily available even online. Please read it.
Your death penalty has been paid- you have been pardoned...
The choice is yours to accept it or not. We’re all headed to one of two places - heaven or hell. Will you please accept the LORD’s gift of love today?
“Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
- Luke 15:10
Hi with out obedience this does not mean much for Jesus. We must obey and do what Jesus command in His word. Jesus never command us to celebrate His birth, we must obey Him and worship Him the way He command us in the bible. Shalom
Jesus= God's WORD =Torah..... Follow Him
Were the shepherds out in the field watching their flocks looking for the perfect Passover lamb, so therefore around Passover?
Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🙏♥️,,frm 🇼🇸 SHALOM
Another wonderful teaching, as is the video with Dr Soref, showing this site. Thank you for both of them. A comment that really does come from a loving heart.....the subtitles are in some instances really bad and rather distracting. Could these be improved or even left out?
Hi Guys. I want to register for the course but I’m not getting a response. I’d love to do the zoom courses!
I love the part about the wise men! That is so beautiful!
I do believe we are today prophetically speaking, the Church of Laodicea, the lukewarm church. Christmas was not a celebrated event in the USA until the 1800's. It started due to several factors, one being Charles Dicken's book, promoting Christmas. Historically Christmas was to replace a pagan celebration under Constantine. So I wonder if we are so lukewarm that we don't even realize how we hold on to men's traditions, because we worship God on our terms due to our traditions? Santa Claus was brought into the picture by Coca-Cola to add to the buying of gifts, a manipulative marketing tactic which causes further going astray from Jesus. I look forward to Jesus coming for His Bride and then the 7 year Tribulation Period to be followed by Jesus finally reigning on earth from Jerusalem!!! Praise God! Such a blessed hope: 2 Timothy 4:8!
Yes thank you! As much as Christians want Christmas to be about celebrating the birth of Christ, it is completely evil, and people just like Christmas “spirit” and the joyful feels they get around this time of the year, just as the world does. The Word by no means commands us to celebrate yearly the birth of Christ. Although of course we are all eternally grateful He came!
Love u guys!!
CHRISTMAS to ONE and ALL +
They are so many Christians who get carried away during this season and end up dropping their guards. I am aware that children look forward to this season but we should be wise in spending and the type of gifts we give our children, love ones and friends. We could have a Christmas tree for the kids and sing a few godly Christmas carols.
As no one really knows when He was born, Christmas is really just an observance and celebration of His birth. When He was born really doesn't matter. That fact that He was born, is what matters most.
Christmas is 100% pagan in its roots and that does matter to God
God ORDAINED Feasts to be kept forever, He even invited you to His banquets. Why won't you come? They all point to Messiah.
I love that! We can use Christmas to share the gospel YESSS
I hate that people who profess Christ use lies to profess His truth...

Wonderful message from people who really understand the Jewish roots of Our Saviour
I believe in your preaching because we are both preaching the truth.. Let all the people trust once again to Messiah the biggest persecution is about to come and RCC is reawakening their sword to make it again
Dr. Broshi Golan is an amazing teacher🙏 Best to learn the Holy Scriptures from a Messianic Jew himself.
Christianizing pagan holidays is very unwise and goes against the Torah, people might as well be celebrating saturnalia, so many do this and neglect the Father's Holy Days it's a shame , Jeremiah 10:3-4🙏💯♥️📖🗡
They weren’t pagan holy days that is a myth believe by gullible people like yourself
@@l21n18 it's common knowledge that they're pagan holidays, defending the compromise doesn't change the FACT that it's sin and goes against The Most High YAH'S Word 🙏💯♥️📖🗡

Whichever day it was, it's good to remember it every year
all praise to Adonai Yeshua our King Messiah in Heaven soon to come back !!!!!!!!!!!!
Shalom.
Does anyone have the links to “Why Bethlehem” and “What Mary Didn’t Know”? I’d enjoy watching them.
The Apostle Paul wrote, in the Book of II Corinthians 3: 12-16
12. Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech- 13. unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away. 14. But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. 15. But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. 16. Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
I love you guys and your ministry. I also pray for Israel. I actually got to visit Israel in 2013. What an experience!!!
the census would have been taken at a time where more people could easily get into the census areas and in winter it would’ve been more difficult to obtain during winter weather
Shalom
AMEN AND AMEN!!!!!!!
...i saw your ads, i volunteer, be a part of it. For Israel.
I love "the Gentile factor" that we see glimmers of, throughout the OT & then in the Gospels, hinting at the Magnitude of the Gospel... I find the mention of "Greeks who came to worship at the festival" (John 12:20-23) interesting because: on the one hand, they came to worship (according Jewish law) so they were likely Jewish, BUT they were Also Greek, from outside of Israel, from a land considered a symbol of "being a Gentile". The text doesn't say they Were Jewish Greeks, so, like the "wise men from the east" there is Also a chance that they Were Gentiles who had been schooled in Prophecy, the Jewish law & most significantly, the God of Israel & FROM AFAR made the choice to Follow & Worship HIM instead of the idols of their lands. Just thinking Now... the "wise men came from the East" & these Greeks came from the West (Greece, being West of Israel)... "From the Rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD's Name is to be Praised. The LORD is high above All Nations, and His glory above the heavens." (Ps. 113:4). It's At This Point, that Jesus says "The Hour Is Come, that the Son of man should be glorified..." (Jn 12:23) & this begins "The Passion" I believe, as He... the Prince of Peace Who walked on the waters, slept in a storm & quieted the wind & the waves: goes on to say "NOW is My soul troubled..." (Jn. 12:27)
(forget about the "clowns & jokers"!!)
It Was the GENTILES to the "left" AND "right" of Israel that was the Mystery key of God's Plan; who both Believed-Right From Afar (saw, understood & Believed the Bigger Picture even better than the local religious leaders who were seemingly too Pre-occupied with the minutia of the law to see, understand & Believe their own prophets & Even their own eyes, when it came to the miracles); & then like a Divine Sandwich, in the midst of the festivities of the run-up to the Passover Feast {The Most Important Feast that points to the Redemption, Love, Mercy & Grace of God for a people He chooses to call HIS... in the most outlandish, extravagant & almost-unbelievably Good Good Way that sends out an invitation to the whole world!}... "Gentiles" Come Again, THIS Time NOT Following "a star", but THE Light o the world! "... Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the Light of this world!" (John 11:9 - just before Greeks "arrive") ...it seems Then, that the Receptive Heart (Not the graphical location, nor cultural or religious heritage) is Always the Invitation TO God (the Perfect Gentleman) to Move in our lives...
Hi @Luke G you're Absolutely correct, yet the context of both the birth of Christ & John 12, is Pre-Cross, the Jews were a nation & "religion" unto their own personal God. He was known as the God of Israel. It was through Christ (as you rightly point out) that the nations of the world would be joined together with Israel to be favoured of God. But considering their past volatile relationship of conflict & war; prejudice & oppression (very possibly a picture of the Old Covenant)... it seemed the most unlikely thing. So there had to be some kind of hint or introduction, albeit in the making over generations... from the Pharaoh & Abimelech who blessed Abraham & Isaac to Rahab - a Gentile prostitute (of all "kinds" of people, God chose a harlot to be a witness of His glory [even if Israel had forgotten or disesteemed God's deliverance & been rebellious toward God, Who had delivered them from Egypt & through the Red Sea, this woman & her nation had not, they actually represented a holy fear of the Lord] & provide a helping hand to them); to Ruth, a Gentile who suffered alongside a Jew, & who also turned out to be the conduit through whom the Grace of God would restore both her & her mother in-law... intricately woven into the lineage of Jesus Christ the Saviour of the world. So Pre-Cross (including the Gospels), the two identities are very relevant & understanding that makes the Oneness IN Christ all the Sweeter. It's God's delight to reveal His mysteries to us & so studying to unearth them, "works" to enlarge & enhance the Life we have now IN Christ... so that as the Church, we don't get slack & begin to disesteem the Hand of God in our lives, which was relevant all the Way back to the Garden to Abraham to David to Christ to the Church. We are all One family Now & knowing & understand our history, by the Hand of God, is vital for good & healthy relationship. I sincerely wasn't playing "one-upmanship", I just get excited when I discover hidden gems in the text... "the Light of the world" vs "His star in the east"... Ah!! Love & Blessings in the Lord 🤍
@Luke G "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him Who hath called you out of darkness into His marvellous Light; Which in time past were Not a people, but are Now the people of God: which had Not obtained mercy, but Now have obtained mercy." (1Peter 2:9-10)
A matured Peter addressing the "uncircumcised" / Gentile believers... Peter, who had serious issues (along with Israel) with communing with Gentiles (Acts 10), was Masterfully given the task of ministering to one & his family, amidst being called to minister to the "circumcised". It was a necessary "work" for the Gospel to go forth to all nations as well as a necessary lesson for Peter (& Paul - self-dubbed an "Hebrew of Hebrews") & subsequently the Jewish elders of the then Church (Acts 11 & 15) to learn of God's big Heart & far-reaching Hand of Mercy & Grace. This was a necessary process, which would likely have been "a hard pill to swallow" in the beginning, one we somewhat take for granted today, some even supposing a "replacement theology", so for the sake of Truth & Love, IN Oneness AND Diversity, it is important to still recognise differences so we can recognise God's manifold Wisdom as well as His Unprejudiced Love, Mercy & Grace. {like a married couple, they become One, but should retain their individual personhood as well, even & especially in the Body of Christ, so that they are each able to give glory to God (specific to their make-up & calling - 1Cor. 12 [right before Ch.13, in which He expounds on the LOVE of God, which is what unites us as One, fully manifest in the Person of Christ] & be concerned & occupied with His "work" as opposed to being totally consumed with "pleasing their spouse". (1Cor. 7:32-34) So that it is Always IN Him that our lives & earthly relationships are strengthened & enriched. 🤍
All Glory to our God. Jesus fulfilled every single prophecy. Thank you brothers for sharing.
Dear Andreas Eden Ekendahi. There are a lot of Scripture evidence that clearly points to Christ Birth being at feast of Tabernacles/Sukkot. Also, he was circumcised on the 8th day this is one of the 7 feast that end with the 8th day. The number 8 in Biblical symbolism refers to everything new as the 8th day of creation started a new week so after the 7th year being the Millennium kingdom the 8th ushers in the New heavens and Earth etc. The 8th day of the feast of Sukkot is also called the Great day. The main thing is that following man's traditions (feast/Laws) is vain worship as Scripture says and we are not to do such as the heathens do. The 4th Commandment "Remember to KEEP the Sabbath holy" I believe refers not only to the 7th day Sabbath but to all his Sabbaths (rest) which commands us to remember for Yahweh knew we were going to forget this commandment as Christendom has done away with the Laws of God and Statutes which are holy meaning SET APART which no other days can replace. Also revealed in NT also and kept by all the apostles, Paul and even the early Church before Constantine.
What are the different colored highlights in your Bible? :)
Amen
Nice to see you where are you now going to beva presedent congrates merry XMass and a happy new year 2022 good luck wish you get what ever yoy want its awesome bless you more you get what ever might be good luck amen
Absolutely fascinating. Thank you so much! This channel is a gem
33:48 At the time stamp mentioned, the interviewer (apologies for not knowing his name) speaks about reading through the Bible in a year, or year and a half, with his kids. I am wondering if there is a certain method to that or is it just straight through, Genesis to Revelation? Thanks!
Also for context, I have 3 boys, currently ages 7, 6, & 3.
Oh I'm so going to zoom can't wait
You mentioned that Dr. Luke would have mentioned an Jewish high holiday but while listening I'm thinking and it occurs to me that Luke wrote his book to a person in a high office in Rome. Maybe to Luke, this official will better associate the time of his birth with a government Census because the Census was carried out by the Romans. Just my thought. So it doesn't necessarily rule out Succoth.
Is it true that the earliest writings of the NT is in Greek?
Everyone needs salvation here are the words of salvation please forgive me jesus im a sinner come into my heart and save me from my sin I no that you are the savior and I no that God raise you from the dead and you are alive and I thankyou for your salvation in Jesus holy name amen and its important to always ask for forgiveness every night so your always right standing with the lord please give these words to someone
Thank you dear brothers in Yashua
For all those videos 📹
I enjoy all of them so much .
You are such a great blessing
May I ask what's is the medrash?
I love all the prophecies of the old Testament.
I love the infighting of the wise men from the East
They could be Jewish in the exile.
Or they could be gentiles , I always knew that .
But I never thought of the idea that they may have know or received a revelation thst they are including in the salvation and Redemption of the whole world 🌎 🤔
I love You my Messiah, my Savior and my Redeemer Jesus Christ 💖 ♥️ ❤️
Amen hallelujah 🙏 🌹 ❤
In the apostolic Canons and constitutions the feast of the nativity of Christ is mentioned 25th of december.
To: OFI
First and foremost, thank you all for doing a fine job to spread the word that Yeshua is God's anointed servant the Messiah. Yeshua's birthday isn't important at all, it was his testimonies and teachings that matter, NOT any pagan holiday. For that, I'm quite disappointed you had chosen to associate Yeshua the Messiah with a Roman pagan holiday that had links to solar gods. Please, I humbly appeal to you all to refrain from doing it next year, skip the Christmas season part because 25 December is DIRECTLY associated with Roman sun god Sol Invictus. How do you think Yeshua in heaven would feel and react to see billions of people on earth DELIBERATELY celebrating a pagan holiday that directly linked him to false gods? Do you think Yeshua would be pleased? = I seriously doubt it!!! So please don't repeat it next year. Thanks in advance and may God Almighty YHWH (Yah-o-va) bless you all at OFI.
Jeremiah 10:2-4 :
2 Thus says YHWH (Yah-o-va): "Do not learn the way of the Gentiles; do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven, for the Gentiles are dismayed at them. 3 For the customs of the peoples are futile; for one cuts a tree from the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the ax. 4 They decorate it with silver and gold; they fasten it with nails and hammers so that it will not topple."
I am disappointed as well 😔. It reminds me of the golden calf incident when the use the name of Yah to have a feast, celebrate and worshiped him in the image of that calf. How can I celebrate my birthday in a month that I wasn't born and call it the month I was born? It makes no sense I would be deceiving my self
Agreed!
Thank you very much (Dr. Golan Brosh and your team)for the exposition on the where and the why the Messiah was born should be more important than the when.
Please help to explain why the believers must not partake in this Gentile festival, because from both the old and new Testament, birthday celebration was associated with heathen monarch (Pharaoh Genesis 40 vs 20 and Herod Matthew 14 vs 6 to 11). We are commanded to celebrate the Lord Supper (Exodus 12 vs 14; Matthew 26 vs 26 to 29; 1 Corinthians 11vs 24 to 26) and to preach the gospel to every Creature (the great commission) ( Mark 16 vs 15 to 20).
Please help the purge the Gentile Churches that have been polluted with worldly feasts that has led to revellings at the expense perishing souls (church members are looking physically heathy while their soul is malnurished (Psalm 106 vs 14&15).
Shalom.
Revelation 12 indicates that Jesus was born on Sep 11, 3 BC on the feast of Trumpets, also based on rabbinic tradition the date when Noah was born, and it was also the date of which the kings of Judah are inaugurated.
Dr. Michael Heisser has great videos on this.
No it doesn’t indicate that
Hi. Read Luke 1:26.
Then count the months.
The sixth month by God's calendar not the present calendar. It was the month of Elul.
My daughter is born 7 of October
I just found out that I am a Sephardic Jewish woman! I have been doing Ancestry since 2005! I really began to struggle to find my roots using DNA and looking at all my! I received absolute word their history is correct since we are looking at every one. It is written that the Basano Family left Spain and Italy and went to England, France for employment with Elizabeth 1 and Henry. Basano was a doctor. Lanier Family was court musicians who wrote music and built the Sackbutt, instruments!The did not want any one to know that they were Jewish because their trouble began with Catholic’s who were forcing them to become Catholic. Ultimately they all became Catholic or Church of England.
My maternal grandmother told a neighbor that we did not eat strangled meat! She had been educated by her father! He had 2 daughters and she was chose to be a teacher. During WWII I was born and my parents left me with her. Later I was educated also. I am greatly blessed!
This is not the season...
We don't need a season to celebrate the Reason.
The shepherds were in the field watching over their flocks when Jesus was born. And so December is incorrect as His birth month, for it is winter time then in Palestine, rainy and cold, and their flocks would be indoors that time of the year.
No
Luke 2:7-8
But of course His birth date is not important, otherwise our Father would have given it and commanded us to observe it , but He did not.
What is important is that Jesus rose from the dead and is spirit, and we are to worship Him in spirit. John 4:23-24
If the angels celebrated it I will too!
Great teaching. However I struggle a little with the comment that Jesus was to be born where the sheep were examined for purity, compared with the angel's word that he was born in the"city of David" which to me implies that he was born inside the city walls. Maybe they were very close to each other?
Amazing
Merry Christmas 🙏💫👼GOD bless you all
What about doing a deep dive into idolatry, and Encultration, syncretism.
I totally agree it's not about the actual specific date, it's about Jesus Christ his birth his death his burial and his resurrection. We walk in love because we can agree to disagree. But it's about every soul coming to the saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. That none should be lost. Too many opinions are out there without the reverential fear of the Lord
Could I suggest that Joshua star in numbers 24:17 is in fact the star of David? If so, not only are the colors of the flag of Israel, reflect the sapphire blue, in which the law of Moses was written, but the star of David announces the coming of its Messiah.
Do you observe the creation Sabbath, Saturday?
Hebrews 4:8-12
Matthew 5:18
It’s interesting to me why did they decide to make the host invisible, we don’t even know he’s name
Is it anonymity because of the threats the crew gets? probably not because non of the others hide themselves
Then is it so that it would somehow be easier for the viewer to feel like they are in he’s shoes? learning from Golan or any other “guest” he is interviewing
Most of our staff were born in Israel so while there's some risk they're mostly safe from persecution, some need to protect their identity so that they can continue their work. Mr. Pod has a face perfect for radio 😂 Just joking...
I believe God The Father guided them to the stable and manger.
