I am wondering....what’s everyone’s opinion about playing music about the birth of Yahusha and such at Sukkot? The main reason I’m asking is because It would be music traditionally associated with Xmas. Like o come all ye faithful, joy to the world, hark the herald angels, Mary did you know etc etc. Nothing about any of the false god / pagan stuff, just those songs that pertain to Yahusha’s birth and the goings on surrounding that. I want to sing praises to Him because He sent His Son, and celebrate the events of that time, but I don’t want to be guilty of “repurposing”. Thank you all for your thoughts.
I’m not convinced Yeshua wasn’t born in the spring with the rest of the Passover lambs. I see good speculation for Fall and Spring time birth possibilities. Michael Rood “knows” it was Sukkot because of the “mirrors they put on the moon” allows them to calculate the date. Ugh. No. The Bible does not say when he was born (unless you know when the course of Aviyah was to determine when Zechariah served in the temple and was given the vision...plus six months for Mary’s pregnancy...which is also disputed), and it does not ask us to make a big deal about His birth either. It seems birthday celebrations in general are a pagan, self serving affair. So, in conclusion, reading about His birth as recoded in scripture is obviously encouraged, singing songs about it is probably ok if the lyrics are highly scrutinized, but adding birthday traditions to Sukkot is where I’d draw the line.
No birthday traditions. I stopped doing most of those anyway. I just don’t want to offend The Most High by singing those songs on His day. I’ve looked into both times as possibilities and I just can’t get past that if Johnathan Cahn is right that puts Yahusha being born on a non moedim. In addition to the correlation of His coming to Earth with us and the Feast of Tabernacles.
Is there a prophecy saying He’d be born on a moed? I think J. Cahn speculated He was born Aviv 1, the first day of the New Year., which is a New Moon Day, and therefore a moed. If He was born on Sukkot, Joseph was breaking Torah by not being in Jerusalem. Either way, we weren’t instructed to celebrate it.
Good point about Joseph breaking Torah not being in Jerusalem. He’d have to be there on the first and last days for sure......but what about the days in between? Bethlehem is pretty close to jerusalem and the Bible says there was no room at the inn. Could that have been because there was such a large influx of people coming into the area for the feast that the inns in the surrounding areas were overflowing? Kinda like nowadays when you go to a big event out of town. If you arrive late you might have to stay in an undesirable place or stay farther away than you’d prefer because there’s nowhere left.
The Qumran community the Jewish messianics of the Apostles of Yeshua supposedly has songs of praise. Like Psalm 68
I love the song “Mary Did You Know?” which is traditionally xmess, but I sing along whenever I hear it year round.

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought Yahusha was born on Trumpets the day kings are coronated.
There are a few opinions out there and that is one. Another is that He was born at the beginning of the fist month. After investigating each, it is my personal conviction that Sukkot is most likely the correct one. Sukkot is also called the feast of tabernacles, which fits the idea that our King came to tabernacle with His people....and fits the name Emmanuel “God WITH us”. Fits the timeline of the priestly rotations and John the Baptist’s birth.
