The Historical Calendar of Jesus
Supplement to Item 4:
"4) Jesus was visited by the Magi on the eve of 16 Tammuz
3759[Mat 2:1-12], which was Tuesday evening, June 17, 2 BC;
Jesus was ten and a half months old at the time. (NOTE: this
near-perfect Jupiter-Venus conjunction in Leo was but six
arcseconds from concentricity. When Venus is sufficiently
elongated from the Sun, and the sky is crystal-clear, Venus
can barely be seen with the naked eye in broad daylight. This
dazzling conjunction was significantly brighter than Venus
alone, thus was certainly visible in broad daylight in a
clear sky--and we know that the sky was clear by the Magi's
own testimony. Extant historical and astronomical evidences
have further proven incontrovertibly that Herod "the Great"
died within 3 weeks after the "blood red" total lunar eclipse
of Saturday, January 10, 1 BC.)"

The astronomical data with reference to the molad for the
Magi's visit to king Herod in the morning hours, then their
visit to Jesus in the evening hours, is calculated thusly:

"Then Herod secretly having called the magi carefully
ascertained beside them the time of the appearing star"
--Mat 2:7 WH-ITGS
The magi undoubtedly prepared an astrological chart ahead of
time to show Herod at his request how they'd ascertained the
first conjunction from Babylon and how they'd calculated it's
present reappearance, and also how this first conjunction did
signify Messiah's birth. The Jews were certainly familiar with
Babylonian astrology, just as the magi were doubtless versed
in the Hebrew Law, Prophets and Writings. After all, their
ancestors had spent a great deal of time together during and
after the Babylonian captivity, recalling also that The God of
the prophet Daniel had rescued many a magi's life centuries
before in Babylon by revealing to Daniel the Babylonian king
Nebuchadnezzar's dream, and its proper interpretation[Dan 2].
The Old Testament, the story of the Hebrew Nation from God's
Creation was written in anticipation of the LORD made flesh
in Jesus Christ. The word "LORD" appears 7025 times in 6011
verses in the Old Testament, and 711 times in 657 verses in
the New Testament. When you hear the phrase "Jesus is LORD"
you understand that LORD Jesus is the same LORD speaking,
responded to, and spoken of throughout the Old Testament.
Jesus is literally God's Word made flesh: the *Son* of God.
The Magi who visited Jesus understood this clearly. Imagine
their FEAR AND HUMILITY upon seeing God's Son in the flesh:
"The(ones) but having heard of the king[Herod] went their
way, and look! the star which they saw in the east went
ahead of them, until having come it stood above where was
the young child. Having seen but the star they rejoiced
joy great very much. And having come into the house they
saw the young child with Mary the mother of it, and having
fallen down they did obeisance to it, and having opened
the treasures of them they presented to it gifts, gold
and frankincense and myrrh."--Mat 2:9-11 WH-ITGS
Consider this passage from the Psalms of David, regarded by
many Jews as containing the secret Messianic-name "Yinnon":
"The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring
presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer
gifts. Yea, all kings shall fall down before him:
all nations shall serve him.--Psa 72:10-11 KJV
And this passage:
"Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round
about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared."
--Psa 76:11 KJV
And note just how "glad" the Magi were upon seeing this "star"
they'd forecast 10 months prior from their studies in Babylon.
Were their calculations so accurate as to predict this near-
perfect conjunction of Jupiter and Venus? Apparently so.
Verses clearly emphasizing the Messianic strain of the Old
Testament fulfilled in Jesus Christ are too verbose to go on
quoting here, suffice to refer doubters to Psalms and Isaiah
(and practically every other Scripture of the Old Testament).
On this day June 17, 2 BC, sunset fell at 6:38 PM, with this
breathtaking conjunction just above Leo's "right paw" in the
modern constellation not setting until 9:36 PM that evening, nearly two hours[30
arcdegrees] after sunset, with Mercury and Mars setting an hour+ beneath it, and the
full moon rising at
6:43 PM that evening, just after sunset. Renowned astronomers
like Sinnott[1968](using planetary tables of Tuckerman[1962])
and Federer[1968], editor 'Sky and Telescope' magazine, who'd
resolutely concluded this "...ten-month interval from Aug 12,
3 BC to Jun 17, 2 BC as the magi's long[600 mile] journey to
Jerusalem and Bethlehem, since the second conjunction was by
far the brightest..."; and more recently, Mosley[1987], who'd
calculated the first conjunction at 4.3 arcminutes, and the
second at 30 arcseconds, this, before the VSOP87 theory of
4.2 arcminutes and 6 arcseconds(respectively) was demonstrated
as the most accurate calculation to date, the consensus being
that this second conjunction was the "star" which led the Magi
to Jesus, a conclusion made obvious and readily discerned by
anyone who's examined the astronomical data in light of the
Scriptures. An overhead "orrery" of June 17, 2 BC highlights
Venus' near-maximum elongation from the Sun, thus Venus was
barely visible in the afternoon sky, but with Jupiter directly
behind it, growing closer and brighter as the sunset drew on,
the two planets would've appeared as one shimmering "star" by
nightfall...and what an absolutely magnificent sight this must
have been to behold, then to meet the Son of God in the flesh:
X(Jupiter)
X(Sun)
X(Venus)
X(Earth)
==============================================================
Now we come to Herod I "the Great", who died after Josephus'
"blood red" full lunar eclipse of Saturday, January 10, 1 BC,
and not 4 BC, the traditionally supposed year of Herod's death
based on some passages from the historian Josephus' writings,
and coins antedated to 3 & 4 BC, apparently "supporting" this
reckoning by Josephus. So let's set the record straight: The
scientific and historical evidences have conclusively refuted
Josephus' inaccurate reference for the year of Herod's death.
Quoting from Luke: "It happened but in the days those went out
decree beside Caesar Augustus to be getting registered all the
inhabited[earth]; this registration[Gk. apographe] first
occurred being governor of the Syria Quirinius; and they were
going their way all to be getting registered, each(one) into
the of himself city..."[ref. Luke 2:1 WH-ITGS]. This census
and oath of allegiance was required of the whole of the Roman
empire and its provinces, which included the inhabited regions
of southern and western Europe, western Asia and north Africa,
literally the "inhabited [Roman]earth." On February 5, 2 BC,
Augustus was awarded the highest of all Roman titles: Pater
Patriae, which meant "Father of the Country". This award
ceremony happened amidst celebrations commemorating the 25th
year of Augustus Caesar's rule and the 750th anniversary of
the (legendary)founding of Rome in 753 BC[AUC 1/752] which
celebrations extended into August of 2 BC in Augustus' honor.
In the autograph account of his own life `Res Gestae' Augustus
wrote: "While I was administering my 13th consulship the
senate and the equestrrian order and the entire Roman people
gave me the title Father of My County[the only Roman accolade
over Caesar Imperator and Pontifex Maximus]". This empire-wide
registration began in the late summer of 3 BC [compare Jesus'
birth date]. The koine' Greek word for tax is 'apotimesis',
but 'apographe' is properly translated only as *registration*
or *enrollment*, not as "tax", such as was mistranslated in
the King James, Webster's, et al popular Bibles. A proper
translation of this passage is: "In those days a decree was
issued by Emperor Augustus for a general registration
throughout the Roman world"[ref. New English Bible]. An
inscription from Paphlagonia in Asia Minor dating from 3 BC
records the oath "taken by the inhabitants of Paphlagonia and
the Roman businessmen dwelling among them...[that]the same
oath was sworn also by all the people in the land at the
altars of Augustus". This was the registration referred to in
Luke 2:1, which was an empire-wide Roman census. There was an
actual Roman tax in 8 BC which was recorded on the walls of
the Monumentum Ancryanum at the Temple Augusteum in Ankara,
Turkey, but Roman taxes were levied only on citizens residing
within the Empire proper and its provinces. These taxes were
collected by the publicans at or near the citizen's place of
residence. But Herod's semiautonomous kingdom was outside the
Empire proper until 6 AD, when Judea and Samaria were annexed
to the province of Syria overseen by Roman appointment of
imperial prefects(procurators). Any taxes levied before that
time were ordered and collected by Herod under his own rules
and auspices, but not those of the Roman Empire, since Herod
had paid Rome through his own kingdom-wide taxation. Joseph
and Mary abided in Nazareth, and were not Roman citizens, thus
were exempt from (Roman)taxation, but even if they had been
Roman citizens, they would not have been required to travel to
the place of their royal family's lineage in order to pay
Caesar's taxes. Neither would Mary, being "great with child"
[ref. Luke 2:5], have accompanied her husband wither he went
to pay it, yet Mary journeyed a distance of about seventy-two
*miles* south from Nazareth to Bethlehem in order to register
with Joseph, and also her Son Jesus, with Caesar's "grandest"
award ceremony not six months away. The 5th century historian
Orosius wrote: "[Augustus]ordered that a census be taken of
each province everywhere and that all men be enrolled. So at
that time, Christ was born and was entered on the Roman census
list as soon as he was born. This is the earliest and most
famous public acknowledgment which marked Caesar as the first
of all men and the Romans as lords of the world...that first
and greatest census was taken, since in this one name of
Caesar all the peoples of the great nations took oath, and at
the same time, through the participation in the census, were
made part of one society." [ref. Orosius, Adv. Pag. VI22.7,
VII2.16]. Ososius carefully noted the year that this census
was completed, which was *2* BC[Adv. Pag. VI22.1, VI22.5,
VII2.14]. Flavius Josephus related: "therefore the whole
Jewish nation took an oath to be faithful to Caesar and the
interests of the king[Herod]"... "Accordingly, when all the
people of the Jews gave assurance of their good-will to
Caesar, and to the king's[Herod's] government, these very
men[Pharisees] did not swear, being above six thousand"[Antiq.
XVIIii4]. Thusly Josephus had acknowledged king Herod I the
Great was *alive* when this empire-wide census of 3-2 BC was
being conducted. Add to this, Josephus had correctly counted
Augustus' defeat of Antony in 31 BC as Herod's seventh year,
and Gallus' expedition in 24 BC he'd correctly determined was
Herod's fourteenth year[Antiq. XVv2; XVix1-3]. And, in every
case but one, Josephus counted Herod's first year as 37 BC,
thus Josephus was correct in placing Herod's full reign at 37
years upon his death. However, instead of counting Herod's
37th year from the death of the former king(as he'd done in
every other instance cited), Josephus referenced two separate
years regarding Herod's reign. First was 37 BC, the year Herod
seized Jerusalem and killed the former king, which commenced
his reign, and second, counting back to 40 BC, when Herod was
merely named king by Rome[Antiq. XIVxiv5; XIVxvi4]. In this
instance, Josephus improperly counted Herod's 37th year from
40 BC instead of 37 BC, concluding incorrectly as a result of
this miscalculation that Herod had reigned but "34" years from
37 BC[ref. Antiq. XIVxvi4; XVIIvi4,viii1,xiii2; XVIIIii1,iv6;
Wars IIvii3]. Yet all other evidences cited--and the bulk of
Josephus' own commendable research--do confirm that Herod did
in fact reign for 37 years, but counting from 37 BC, which was
Herod's first regnal year, making 1 BC his 37th and final year
of reign, in which he died after the "blood red" full lunar
eclipse of Jan 10th--so Herod's final "year" wasn't much of a
year, but was cut short by the end of January, 1 BC. Note that
Herod's sons Archelaus, Antipas and Philip reckoned their
reigns from Antipater's co-regency with Herod, beginning 4-3
BC, or after the death of the two royal sons[Antiq. XVIIi1;
XVIIii4, Wars Ixxiii5]. But Herod's successors had antedated
their reigns unbeknownst to Josephus, which explained why
Josephus couldn't reconcile the correct length of Herod's
reign with the year of his death, nor with the bulk of his own
detailed writings and research about king Herod I the Great.
Luke informs us that this empire-wide registration of 3-2 BC
occurred whilst Quirinius was governor of Syria. Sentius
Saturninus governed Syria from 9 BC to 7 BC, and Quinctilius
Varus governed from 6 BC to 4 BC. Next, Publius Sulpicius
Quirinus[Gk. Kurenios, var. Quirinius, meaning "warrior"]
governed Syria from 4 BC until 1 BC, and again, after the
banishment of Archelaus, from 6 AD until 9 AD[ref. Lapis
Venetus CIL3.6687], thus Quirinius was governor[imperial-
legate/commissioner] of Syria twice, and at the times Luke
stated he was[ref. Act 5:37, and Jos. Antiq. XVIIIi regarding
Luke's "second" census and taxation]. Archelaus, a son of
Herod by Malthace, was made governor of Syria in 1 BC, but was
deposed by Augustus in 6 AD. Renowned historian W. M. Ramsay
discovered an inscription at Antioch of Pisidia establishing
Quirinius in Syria 10-7 BC, while leading a campaign against
the Homanadenses(in the Taurus Mountains), a fact confirmed by
Tacitus. Another inscription, the Lapis Tiburtinus which dates
to c. 14 AD, was discovered in 1764 near Tivoli(Tibur), which
refers to an officer described as "victorious in war" and
"twice imperial legate of Syria"[ref. CIL 14.3613]. Clearly,
this reference was to Quirinus, but the officer's name on the
papyrus fragment was mutilated beyond recognition, thus is
subject to the usual "Porphyrian" cavil[ref. Porphyry, 234-305
AD]. A papyrus from Egypt says concerning the empire-wide 3-2
BC enrollment referred by Luke as the "first" registration:
"Because of the approaching census it is necessary that all
those residing for any cause away from their home should at
once prepare to return to their own governments in order that
they may complete the family registration of the enrollment".
Also, dated 150 AD, Justin Martyr wrote: "Jesus was born at
Bethlehem, thirty stadia distant from Jerusalem; as you may
learn from the enrolments that were held under Quirinus
(Kyrenios) your first governor, in Judea"..."Christ was born
one hundred and fifty years ago, under Quirinus (Kyrenios)"
[ref. Apol. i.34,46]. Martyr's testimony was addressed to the
Roman Emperor himself, the Senate and the people of Rome.
Martyr placed Christ's birth near 1 BC, two years late, but
here Martyr confirms that Quirinus was governor in 1 BC, and
also confirms Herod I the Great was *alive* in the year 1 BC,
a fact further confirmed by the astronomical evidence. Since
Herod wasn't alive for very long in 1 BC, and since we know
that Jesus was born in 3 BC, and also that Quirinus' first
term as governor was from 4 BC to 1 BC, then Martyr must've
known that 1 BC was Herod's last year, so he determined that
Herod had died sometime shortly---within that year---after
Joseph fled to Egypt with Mary and Jesus, which is in near-
agreement with the approximately 32 weeks after Jun 17, 2 BC
to late January of 1 BC when Herod died; Martyr knew Quirinus
was still governor in early 1 BC, too, thus explains Martyr's
incorrect surmise that Jesus was born at that time. A full
lunar eclipse[Gk. ekleipsis, "abandonment"] occurs when the
Moon passes through the center of Earth's shadow, or umbra,
which shadow extends 900,000 miles outward away from the Sun.
Sunlight, particularly the redder bandwidths, is refracted
into the umbra's cone by the Earth's atmosphere, illuminating
a fully-eclipsed Moon with a reddish-brown, coppery glow which
brightness and hues vary depending primarily on terrestrial
meteorological conditions and other factors. A total, or full
lunar eclipse lasts about an hour and three-quarters, and only
occurs while the Earth is in the umbra, or the darkest portion
of the Earth's shadow. Partial lunar eclipses do *not* produce
this reddish-tint since the penumbra passes the full spectrum
of diffused sunlight onto the Moon. The traditional "full"
lunar eclipse ascribed to Josephus' eclipse portending Herod's
death, which eclipse was turned "red with the blood of the
murdered rabbis"[ref. Antiq. XVIIvi4], was said to have been
on March 13, 4 BC. But this was only a partial eclipse at 40%,
not even close to the total eclipse requisite for turning the
Moon "blood red", and 4 BC does not coincide with the evidence
in any case. The total lunar eclipse referred to by Josephus
occurred on January 10, 1 BC, after the full moon rose above
the Jerusalem horizon @5:31:10 PM[JD 1721067.14664]just after
sunset(which was 4:52:31 PM[JD 1721067.11980]). This *total*
lunar eclipse began its umbral phase about six and three-
quarter hours after sunset, and reached its peak syzygy at
12:56:55 AM Jan 11, 1 BC, thus would've been seen as "blood
red" from about an hour and twenty-two minutes before then, or
about 11:35 PM in the late evening that January 10th, lasting
until about 1:20 AM in the morning of January 11th, with the
waning moon setting at 7:38:39 AM[1721067.73517] that morning.
Josephus stated that Herod died shortly after this "blood red"
eclipse and was buried before the Passover of that same year.
The molad beginning the 19-year lunisolar cycle in which that
Passover fell was Mar 21, 17 BC @11:19:42 AM[JD 1715293.88868]
with sunrise at 5:47:26 AM and sunset at 5:47:08 PM that day
(V.E. Mar 23, 17 BC @ 12:03:33 AM[JD 1715295.41913]), so the
Hebrew calendar year *preceding* that Passover which followed
Josephus' "blood red" lunar eclipse was "year 16" of that 19-
year lunisolar cycle, and so the Passover of 1 BC(3760) was
NOT delayed one month according to the calendar rules, but the
Passover's of 16 BC(2), 13 BC(5), 11 BC(7), 8 BC(10), 5(13) BC
2 BC(16) and 1 AD(18) of that 19-year cycle were delayed one
synodic month as a function of these leap years, so Holy Days
would always occur in their proper seasons[see Molad-Equinox
notes below]. But the molad for Nisan was never in any case allowed to occur more than
16 days before the vernal equinox
in any year, whether an intercalary leap year or non-leap
year, neither was Pentecost *ever* allowed to drift into the
summer, which is why these calendars were calculated years
in advance. The molad for Nisan 3760 was Wed, Mar 24, 1 BC @
3:46:58 PM[JD 1721141.07428], placing 1 Nisan the next day,
Mar 25, thus the Passover of 14 Nisan 3760 fell on Wed, Apr 7,
1 BC, beginning on the evening before, or Tues, Apr 6th. In
terribly-ill health, Herod was away at his winter palace in
Jericho when the rabbis were executed the day preceding the
lunar eclipse, and it is certain Herod died five days after
Antipater was slain[Antiq. XVIIviii1], which was within two,
or perhaps three, weeks after the lunar eclipse. So, starting
at February 1st (using a most conservative estimate), then
counting up to April 6th--the day before the Passover--left 29
days in February(recall that this Julian leap year was ignored
to compensate for previous leap-year errors, but is counted in
the proleptic calendar), add 31 days for March and 6 days for
April, which totals 29 + 31 + 6 = 66 days, or 9 1/2 weeks,
sufficient time for Herod's 23-mile funeral procession, 30-day
mourning period, funeral feast and 7(30?)-day mourning for the
patriots before the Passover. This case is settled by every evidence examined. LUKE'S
TESTIMONY IS HISTORICALLY ACCURATE,
and this "Herod died in 4 BC" myth is laid to rest: king Herod died within two or
three weeks after the 10th of January 1 BC.
Herod had even antedated his *own* reign, with inscriptions of his "3rd year" dated 37
BC: the year he'd killed the old king!
Archelaus, Antipas and Philip had merely "followed his lead",
thus Herod's death qualified as "year 3" of their reigns too,
with the oldest coin dated "year 5"[1 AD] antedating to 4 BC, from Antipater's
co-regency with Herod as previously cited.
The more you look at this the more you'll recognize Josephus' blunder. Ha, just
imagine his frustration at not being able
to reconcile Herod's death with his own library of research,
then fudging the dates as best he could to make it all fit.
The advantage we enjoy today with computers and the Internet can not be overstated.
Josephus was truly a great historian,
who lived and worked in the midst of very tumultuous times.
