When Was Jesus Really Born and Who Were The Magi? Part 3 - with Tim Keyes

What was the mysterious "star" in the sky that guided the Magi on their journey, convincing them that a great new king had been born? Was it truly a single wandering object—or a series of remarkable celestial events unfolding over time? In this episode, we dive deep into these ancient astronomical puzzles and uncover why the Magi arrived in Jerusalem, rather than directly in Bethlehem, on December 25th.

When Was Jesus Really Born and Who Were The Magi? Part 2 - with Tim Keyes

In Part 2, we explore the celestial signs interpreted by the Magi as announcing the birth of a new king. Far from just three kings, the Magi were a large entourage of Persian scholars whose arrival in Jerusalem sparked widespread fear, especially in Herod.We also uncover fresh insights into Mary and Joseph's journey to Bethlehem and events upon arrival. Finally, we pinpoint the day of Christ's birth: a New Moon on the 1st of Tishri, aligning significantly with a key ancient Hebrew celebration.

When Was Jesus Really Born and Who Were The Magi? Part 1 - with Tim Keyes

Is Christmas a biblical mandate or a modern tradition? The traditional nativity story contains historical and biblical inaccuracies—including the claim that Jesus was born on December 25. The Bible provides no explicit birth date for Jesus, yet biblical, historical, and astronomical clues allow us to deduce the actual timing. Debunking common myths, including those about the Magi (who were not kings and not limited to three), uncovers the true events surrounding Christ's birth.
