Excellent understanding. Thank you.

54:48 They came 2 years later on the same day to celebrate his birthday, which is why they brought gifts. This ties birthday celebrations, baby "showers", Easter, and Jesus birthdate which is in Spring. April "showers" are just after 3/28 especially with a lunar calendar.

Orthodox Christian history in the apostolic constitutions, Saint John Chrysostrum, and St. Clement of Alexandria (2nd Century) record that the date of the birth of Jesus goes back to the time of the apostles, who knew Jesus personally, and certainly would have known his birthdate. It would have been celebrated by his family annually, but even if Jesus didn't have birthday festivities, John cared for Mary, and he would have known. It's silly to think Mary didn't know Jesus' birthdate. The date is not really in question by anyone who reads the early Church fathers. December 25th, or January 7th, depending on whether the Julian or Gregorian calendar is used. Protestants always try to change the dates. I guess they're too lazy to read the Church fathers, some of whom were disciples of the disciples.

27:40 Jesus is a Virgo ascendant. 28:27

[@123littleleaf]

Born of a Virgin 🙏

[@jonjohnson445]

57:53 It's Venus which is why many people think Jesus is Lucifer.

I believe that part of Premium is used to pay for content that is consumed.

[@jonjohnson445]

1:15:38 Jesus has the sign of the Orion constellation on his left hand. It means EL, anointed, and Nazarene from birth.

[@TheMacastronomer]

If the virgin actually means Israel and not Mary, then wouldn’t the reference to a the constellation actually mean Aries instead of Virgo, since Aries was representative of Israel in those days?

[@geobigntall3830]

I got absolutely no where

[@Jeff-hb1qq]

😊sure does know how to confuse people ..guess it’s in his book too..😊

[@SonOfHutch]

The Constellation that is described in revelation occurs routinely every year.. the correct translation and thought in OT and NT for what was in the sky was a hard firmament NOT "sky" or empty expanse. the magi would have to know more than the Constellation occurrence to know the actual birth of christ as well. u can use an app like stelarium to see the Constellation at 3bc. I believe the magi were not following the Constellation which were seen annually, rather an actual supernatural star that was placed by God. Mike also doesnt believe there were actual dinosaurs in OT era such as the leviathan or behemoth and thinks its metaphor. ALOT of speculation and preconceived notions in this theory.

Dr. Heiser' s KZbin videos have way too Many commercials. I want to listen,but too many commercials

[@luciparadise6781]

The individuals re-releasing his videos pay for this through the advertising. In addition, KZbin has increased advertising all over the place. ✝️🙏❤️‍🔥🙌🇺🇸🇮🇱

[@jamesjaudon8247]

The Dr. is worth having to skip a few ads. I can't afford actual research nor do I have the time. I consider myself lucky to hear. You already have pay for some information. In ten years this might not be available for free.😊

[@ADKMPTN]

KZbin Premium is WELL worth it if you like listening to his work, Derek Prince, or any music.

[@rieniewhitehead1191]

I found that if advertisement comes up, I just close the video and open it again and the add is gone and no more ads appear during video. Not sure that the same will work fr you, but here in South Africa a few of us have been doing that and it works. Also, one must understand that one of the main reasons why people put things on KZbin is for fund raising, so in the case of videos of dr Heiser, who has passed already, but his ministry is continuing and to enable it to continue, one should plough back into the effort for making this video. Lets not always want everything for free.

[@pedenmk]

I got fed up with the advertising and spent the money for premium. To me it's well worth it. Especially when it comes to Mr Heiser. He's great listening to.

[@jonjohnson445]

53:08 It's actually 3/28 2 B.C.E.

[@ThePlagueGameing]

Stop complaining about the ads! . Christian's especially want something for nothing!!. ❤
