Bible chronology and history can only go so far. It has to be backed up. Astronomy and Jewish holy days fill in the blanks. Then keep praying and studying until deciding a correct chronology.
Birth of Jesus ChristJesus Christ was born in either 7 BC or 3 BC. Abijah served in the temple in May/June (Luke 1:5). Six months later, Mary conceive of the Holy Spirit during Hanukkah (Luke 1:26, 39-40). Luke was a historian and wrote that John the Baptist’s ministry started the 15th year of Tiberius (Luke 3:1) which may include coregency.
The Christmas Star: Jupiter and Saturn 7 BC
If 7 BC, Jesus was born on Tabernacles. There was a triple super conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in Pisces in May, October and December 7 BC (Christmas Star). So Jesus was born on October 7/8 Julian or 5/6 Gregorian. The Bethlehem Star is a comet in the spring of 5 BC. This moves the year earlier by three when Augustus ruled without the title of emperor and three more for coregency of Tiberius with Augustus. See
Chronology According to Scripture by Bill Bonnet.
If 3 BC, Jesus was born on Trumpets. There was a conjunction of Jupiter and star Regulus in Leo (king planet, star, constellation). So Jesus was born on September 11, 3 BC. The Bethlehem Star is Jupiter’s retrograde motion during Hanukkah in 2 BC (Matthew 2:9). This moves Herod’s death from 4 to 1 BC. See

I stand by Leviticus 23 for Jesus Christ to fulfill Trumpets, Atonement and Tabernacles with the Rapture, Second Coming and reign of Jesus Christ on earth. At the cross, the year is reset and chronology errors are corrected. Jesus Christ gave us redemption in 4001 AM Jewish year. Just decide which Roman year (27-33 AD). See the discussion
The Feast of Trumpets: Rapture Day.
Rapure 2021?There are a few dates pointing to the Feast of Trumpets on September 7-9, 2021.
• US President William McKinley was assassinated on September 6, 1901 (9/11 or 23rd of
Elul-Teshuvah). Teddy Roosevelt became president on September 14, 1901 (1st of Tishri-Trumpets). Noah was given 120 years before the flood (Genesis 6:3) and we have 120 years before the Tribulation.
• The Islamic terrorist attack occurred on September 11, 2001 (9/11 or 23rd of
Elul-Teshuvah). 2021 is the twentieth anniversary.
• Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died on September 18, 2020 (1st of
Tishri-Trumpets).
A few events need to be fulfilled.
• In January 2020, there was an Israel-Palestine peace plan on the table but in July 2020, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli Knesset failed to annex the Jordan valley and thereby rejecting the Palestine territory. What is the status of the confirmation of the covenant (Daniel 9:27)?
• The United States pushes the covenant which causes the Tribulation, fall of America and Armageddon (Joel 3:2). Today, the eagle is superpower but is missing from the world government Beast (Daniel 7:4, Revelation 13:2).
• The 6th trumpet is a war that has a 200 million man army kill a third of humanity (~2.5 billion). (Revelation 9:14-15, 16). The 9th of
Av is a great day to start a war. By July or August. is China is marching toward the Euphrates River in Iraq?
Since Jesus Christ was born ~7-1 BC and the cross was 27-33 AD, then the Second Coming should occur ~2027-2033 so the Tribulation window would be ~2020-2027. Despites a 7 year margin of error, we are close to going home. Encourage one another with these words.
