A Deepertruth origninal, The Case For December 25 Jesus Birthday! The bible certainly points to Jesus from before and after the events that took place during the time of Jesus birth.
The bible does give very important detail, despite the belief of those who think otherwise.
Here are some thoughts to consider:Luke 1:5 states, "In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah; and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years. Now while he was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty, according to the custom of the priesthood, it fell to him by lot to enter the Temple of the Lord and burn incense. And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense."
Where and what were these divisions of priests who served the Temple sacrifices for the people? The foundation of the divisions were established by King David in 1 Chronicles 28:11-21, and 1 Chronicles 24 gives the specific divisions. Abijah was listed as number eight in the rotation (1 Chronicles 24:10) which happens to be the division that Zechariah is attached to.
