The Magi and His Star

Now, tonight, on this September the 5th of ’82, I thought I'd like to handle with you the Magi and his star. Jesus Christ, according to our calendar, was born on September the 11^th, 3 B.C., which I handled in detail last week.

The whole… You see, the Hebrew day starts with sunset. Our day starts with midnight. Today, you start a new day with midnight. The 6^th of September will start at midnight tonight. There's one book in the Bible that's written in Egyptian time, and they started the day with sunrise, and that's the Book of Esther. So when you're reading the Book of Esther and they mention time, you have to think in terms of sunrise to sunrise. But when you're thinking Hebrew time, biblical time, Judean time, you have to think sunset to sunset. So sunset was the first part of the next day. Understand? So that sunset occurred on September 11 at 6:18 p.m.. And the moonset on September the 11^th was at 7:39. And that period of time in there is called night.

Now, the first Adam mentioned in Genesis breathed on September the 11^th, at that first day of time of sunset on that day. And that corresponds to the second Adam, Jesus Christ, who breathed his first breath on September the 11^th. And it had to be between the hours of 6:18 and 7:39 p.m. Palestinian time, not our time. Palestinian time.
