HE WAS BORN IN that-year (meaning between BC n AD)

Why does it not match with the calender?

If Jesus was born 4-6 BC, why doesn't it match with the calendar?

Jesus began His ministry in a jubilee year according to the prophecy He fulfilled at the beginning of His ministry.

Luke 4v17 -And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

v18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

v19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

v21  And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

The jubilee year is the acceptable year of the Lord, when every man is returned to his inheritance.

The beginning of Jesus' ministry was a jubilee year. And AD27 is the only jubilee year around the time of Christ's birth. The prior and next jubilee year was 23BC and AD76.

So if Jesus was 30years at the beginning of His ministry in AD27; then it means He was born in 4BC.

Then secondly, according to the seventy weeks prophecy of Daniel.

Daniel 9v25 - Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

According to the prophecy, the time between when the commandment to rebuild Jerusalem would be given to the time of the Messiah the Prince would be 69weeks (or 483years).

And from the time the commandment to rebuild Jerusalem was given by King Artaxerxes in 457BC, counting down 69weeks (or 483years) to the Messiah the anointed (when Jesus was anointed) is exactly AD27.

So that tallies again. That Jesus began His ministry in AD27. Meaning He was born 4BC.

I think the reason it doesn't tally with the calender is the fault of Gregory. They obviously didn't study the scriptures carefully about the ministry of Christ enough to know it began on a jubilee year; and to then use the jewish calender to know which year falls into the jubilee year around the time of Christ.

I bet they didn't also study the prophecy about the 70weeks of Daniel to see the 69weeks prophecy of the beginning of the ministry of the Messiah. Or maybe they just didn't know exactly when the commandment to rebuild Jerusalem was given.

They might have thought it was the first decree given by King Cyrus (Ezra 1v1-4) which was halted by King Artaxerxes (Ezra 4v23-24) before it was now given again by King Dairus and Artaxerxes after prayers by God's people (Ezra 6v14-15).

If they had known when Jesus began His ministry -a jubilee year, 483years after the command to rebuild Jerusalem; they would only need to trace that year 30years back according to the scriptures to know when Jesus was born. And that would fall on 4BC.

Jesus was born 4BC, began His ministry 27AD at the age of 30; and died and rose 30AD (which is the middle of the 70th week when the Messiah should be cut off)

The 70weeks (or 490years) probation for the jews to return to God was over in AD34, after which God turned to the gentiles from that time.

Before then the gospel was first preached exclusively to the jews for the first three and a half years post-resurrection of Christ from AD31 to AD34.

Romans 1v16 -For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; TO THE JEWS FIRST, and also to the Greek.

That's partly why the first shall be the last; the first to hear the gospel will be the last to receive it. The jews will still receive the gospel. God is not done with them.

Shalom
