Let's Move Christmas to September is a bold, meticulously researched reconstruction of the true birthdate of Jesus Christ - a journey that blends Scripture, history, astronomy, and ancient chronology into a single, unified timeline. Rather than treating December 25 as a fixed tradition, this book asks readers to examine the evidence with fresh eyes and follow the data wherever it leads. What emerges is a compelling case that the birth of Christ occurred not in winter, but in early September of 5 BC, on the first day of Tishri - the Feast of Trumpets - a day rich with prophetic meaning.
Drawing from the Gospels (Matthew 2; Luke 2), the writings of Josephus, the priestly service rotations of 1 Chronicles 24, and astronomical records of planetary conjunctions preserved in modern NASA data, the book reconstructs the world into which Jesus was born. It traces the movements of the Magi, the political climate under Herod the Great, and the celestial signs that would have captured the attention of ancient astronomer‑priests. Each chapter builds a chronological framework that aligns biblical events with verifiable historical markers, revealing a timeline far more coherent than the traditional December narrative.
The book also explores how December 25 emerged centuries later - not from Scripture, but from a fusion of Roman festival culture, theological symbolism, and the early church's desire to establish a universal celebration. By separating tradition from text, the reader gains a clearer view of the earliest Christian understanding of the Nativity and the prophetic significance embedded in the autumn festivals of Israel.
Rather than attacking Christmas, the book enriches it. It invites believers to appreciate the beauty of the Incarnation while also discovering the deeper layers of meaning encoded in the biblical calendar. The September birthdate illuminates connections between Jesus' arrival and themes of kingship, coronation, repentance, and renewal - themes woven throughout the Feast of Trumpets and echoed in the angelic proclamation to the shepherds.
Let's Move Christmas to September is both provocative and deeply reverent. It challenges long‑held assumptions while honoring the authority of Scripture. It is written for readers who love the Bible, value historical accuracy, and are willing to follow the evidence with an open mind. Through careful analysis and vivid narrative, the book offers a fresh, compelling portrait of the night when heaven touched earth - not in the cold of December, but in the warm, prophetic light of early autumn.
