William Branham stated that Jesus was born in the spring. He also stated that Jesus lived thirty-three and a half years. But unfortunately, the math just doesn't work. Wouldn't you think if the man was a prophet, he would get it right? | |||
==What the Bible teaches== | |||
The Bible is very clear about the time of Jesus crucifixion but not about the exact time of year of Jesus birth. | |||

''God, may every individual here go home tonight with this on their mind, thinking of, "What a Sacrifice. What did it cost to redeem? What did it cost God?" Never cost us nothing. It cost God His Son. It cost God the greatest price. It cost Christ His life. He was the Rose of Sharon; but to get the perfume out of a rose, you have to crush it up. His beautiful life was crushed at a young Man of '''thirty-three and a half years''', that we might live.<ref>THE.CRUELTY.OF.SIN.AND.THE.PENALTY.THAT.IT.COST.TO.RID.SIN.FROM.OUR.LIVES JEFF.IN 53-0403</ref> | ''God, may every individual here go home tonight with this on their mind, thinking of, "What a Sacrifice.

''And in this great crucifixion time and resurrection time, how it seems to be that heaven just hangs near the earth during this time. I've always thought that Jesus' second coming would be in the spring of the year, just in all resurrection. '''He was born in the spring of the year. Anybody would think He was born December the 25th is mentally upset.''' How could the shepherds be on the hills of Judea in four foot of snow, watching their herds at night or something like that? No, the real orthodox believers don't believe that. He was born along April or May, somewhere like that in the springtime, like all other nature. He was the very Creator of nature; He come with nature. And as... And so I--I believe He was born in the spring. I don't know that He will come in the spring, but I have a feeling that it will be some beautiful spring morning when He appears. Whenever it is, I want to be ready no matter what time it is. If it's midnight, or daylight, or spring, fall, winter, wherever it is, I want to be prepared to meet Him.<Ref>THE.TRUE.AND.FALSE.VINES_ SHREVEPORT.LA 56-0311A</ref> | |||

''That great Jewel. What was it? It was perfect. '''It was at the age of thirty-three and a half years old''' when God put It through the big bumping machine, when He took It over and begin to shape it up. He cut It; He mashed It; He bruised It. ... he was wounded for our transgressions,... bruised for our iniquity: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with His stripes we were healed.<ref>REVELATION.CHAPTER.FOUR.2_ JEFF.IN 61-0101</ref> | ''That great Jewel.

''Not in December as the Roman church put it, the sun-god's birthday, and put it with His, up there on twenty-fifth of December, when their circuses was going on, if you've have took the--the... studied the history of the church. And you understand that they put that up there, make it... It was the sun-god's birthday, the solar, when it stops almost still. There is no change in it for five days, from December the twentieth to the twenty-fifth. They put the Son of God and the sun-god's birthday the same, compromising Christianity with paganism, made it December. He couldn't have been born on December the twenty-fifth, why, it's snow-bound mountains up there in Judaea. | |||
''He was born like all lambs are. '''He was born in springtime.''' And He had to be born under the ram, because He was a Ram, and the ram was April. Exactly. He was born under that ram. That's what He was. He was God's Ram. That was Him up there that took Isaac's place. Amen. Don't you see it?<ref>JEHOVAH.JIREH.3 LOUISVILLE.MS 64-0404</ref> | |||
''Now that... I have chosen this... is still... because that we're in the shadows of the... or in the time of the yule season of Christmas, and--and New Year's; the ending of an old year, and the bringing in of a new one. A few days from now, many people will be turning new pages and--and doing new things and making new vows; and it's beginning of a New Year. And it never seems to me too much like Christmas. I don't know why, I always like to call it "Santa Claus Day." See? Because there's not much really... | |||
''It couldn't have been Christ's birthday. It just absolutely could not have been. He'd have had to been born in March or April, 'cause He was the Lamb. And He was a male sheep and borned in under the ram, Aries. It had to be, you see. And sheep are not born in December anyhow. Sheep are born in the Spring. And then another thing, the hills of Judea now, there's twenty feet of snow on it. How could the shepherds have been out there?<ref>WHO.DO.YOU.SAY.THIS.IS PHOENIX.AZ 64-1227</ref> | |||
