This is the ninth month, the month of Kislev and this is the month that Yeshua was conceived by the Holy Spirit in Miriam. Kislev usually coincides with December and hence the confusion with Christmas, "Jesus' Christian birthday."There are historical reasons that prove that Yeshua was conceived during Kislev, more specifically during Chanukkah, and born during Sukkot, which falls in September/October each year.
It's all based on the cycle of priestly service, which was very strict and precise. The abbreviated version: (1) Zacharias' time of temple service was the 2nd month, which is Sivan or May/June. (2) He is the father of John the Baptist; Elizabeth is John's mother and Miriam's cousin. (3) John the Baptist is conceived shortly after Zacharias' service. (4) In the 6th month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, Miriam conceives Yeshua. (4) Yeshua is born 9 months later.
Complete story-very interesting.
One Rabbi's paraphrase: Kislev is the month that the Lord kissed and loved Mary and blessed her with the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the Savior of the World. Yeshua means salvation.
