Aschlafly: quote John 8:32

[[File:Beliefs and knowledge and truths.png|right|thumbnail|400px|A Venn diagram picturing the traditional definition of [[knowledge]] as justified true [[belief]] (That is represented by the yellow circle). ]]
'''This Conservapedia entry focuses on the concept of truth relating to [[God]] and society; for the definition as a philosophical and logical term, see [[Truth (logic)]].'''
<center>"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - [[John, Chapter 8|John 8:32]].</center>
'''Truth''' is one of the fundamental building blocks of [[reality]]. One could probably say that without truth, nothing could exist. In fact, not only is truth a fundamental building block of reality, but it is also a central character trait and attribute of the one who is in control of all things, namely [[God]] himself. [[Jesus Christ]], the second Person of the [[Trinity|triune God]], proclaimed about himself in John 14:6, "...I am the way, and the truth, and the life...". From that verse and others, we can conclude that truth is not something external to God himself, but is rather something that is inextricably joined and a part of His Being.

[[Conservatives]] value truth, and wish to seek it.

== Truth as a Value ==
Truth can be considered to be a morally desirable trait in a person, since it is the antithesis of "undesirable" traits such as [[deceit]] or [[corruption]]. [[Christian]]s in particular uphold Truth as a desirable value, since it is something taught by the [[Bible]], and [[Jesus]] himself.
As a rule, liberals do not hold Truth (in the absolute sense) to be an important value. They believe that truth is [[Subjectivism|subjective]], and everyone can freely decide on his own version of truth, see [[moral relativism]] or [[nihilism]], also [[phenomenology]] and [[epistemology]].

=== Importance of truth ===

*[https://www.fastmissions.com/article/importance-of-truth The Importance of Truth] by Dan Vis, FastMissions.com

==Opponents==
Many opponents of truth have arisen over the course of human history, such as [[Communist]] [[China]], [[Adolf Hitler]]'s [[Nazi Germany]], and The [[Obama Administration]], and, by extension, [[Barack Hussein Obama]]. Such enemies typically advocate the wide use of [[censorship]]. Incidentally, many [[liberals]] also advocate the use of [[censorship]] in the form of [[political correctness]], e.g. refusing to describe someone as crippled or as spastic when they plainly are, out of some misguided notion of politeness. Former [[Vice President of the United States of America|Vice President]] and notorious [[liberal]] [[Al Gore]] made several untruthful claims in his documentary ''[[An Inconvenient Truth]]''. Many [[liberal]]s mock Truth by coining terms like "[[truthiness]]" (a creation of liberal talk show host and "comedian" [[Stephen Colbert]]) to deride the real nature of truth.

Liberals don't understand truth on a very basic level. They assume that truth is something intrinsic to the Universe, but in fact, it is intrinsic to God. Without God, there is no truth. Without truth, there is no morality. Without morality, you can do whatever you want. This is the basis of Liberalism and it explains why Liberals feel the desire to mock truth.

== Leo Tolstoy on lying to oneself and its consequences on one's ability to discern truth ==
 
[[File:Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky 1876.jpg|thumbnail|400px|center|“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.” - [[Fyodor Dostoevsky]] ]]

Aschlafly: wikify truth

John, Chapter 8

Aschlafly — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 00:58:52 GMT

Aschlafly: 8:32 - the truth shall set you free

<center><big>'''The Gospel According to Saint John</big> Chapter 8'''</center>

<center>''Jesus releases a woman taken in adultery. He preaches Himself the light of the world, and justifies His doctrine. 29 A.D.''</center>

''See verse 32 below: the truth shall set you free''.

'''1''' Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

'''2''' And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

'''3''' And the [[scribes (Bible)|scribes]] and [[Pharisees]] brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

'''4''' They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

'''5''' Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

'''6''' This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, ''as though he heard them not''.

'''7''' So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

'''8''' And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

'''9''' And they which heard ''it'', being convicted by ''their own'' conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, ''even'' unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

'''10''' When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

'''11''' She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

'''12''' Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

'''13''' The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.

'''14''' Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, ''yet'' my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.

'''15''' Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

'''16''' And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

'''17''' It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.

'''18''' I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.

'''19''' Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.

'''20''' These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

'''21''' Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.

'''22''' Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.

'''23''' And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

'''24''' I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am ''he'', ye shall die in your sins.

'''25''' Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even ''the same'' that I said unto you from the beginning.

'''26''' I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.

'''27''' They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.

'''28''' Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am ''he'', and ''that'' I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

'''29''' And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

'''30''' As he spake these words, many believed on him.

'''31''' Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, ''then'' are ye my disciples indeed;

'''32''' And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

'''33''' They answered him, We be [[Abraham]]'s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

'''34''' Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

'''35''' And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: ''but'' the Son abideth ever.

'''36''' If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

'''37''' I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

'''38''' I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.

'''39''' They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

'''40''' But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

'''41''' Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, ''even'' God.

'''42''' Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

'''43''' Why do ye not understand my speech? ''even'' because ye cannot hear my word.

'''44''' Ye are of ''your'' father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

'''45''' And because I tell ''you'' the truth, ye believe me not.

'''46''' Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

'''47''' He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear ''them'' not, because ye are not of God.

'''48''' Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

'''49''' Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.

'''50''' And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

'''51''' Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

'''52''' Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

'''53''' Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

'''54''' Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

'''55''' Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.

'''56''' Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

'''57''' Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old,<ref>An interesting reference to age here, corroborating the estimate that [[Jesus]] was a relatively young man.</ref> and hast thou seen Abraham?

'''58''' Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

'''59''' Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

Essay: Date of Jesus Crucifixion

Aschlafly — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 22:19:24 GMT

Aschlafly: corrected the spelling in the first header

THIS ESSAY IS NEARING COMPLETION, BUT IT IS STILL BEING WRITTEN

'''THIS PAGE IS AN ESSAY, PLEASE RESTRAIN FROM MODIFYING THE CREATOR'S WRIT.'''

==Introduction (probably final)==

Most Christians would be shocked by the assertion that historical events necessitate that Jesus could not have been thirty-three when he died, that He probably wasn't born at Chrismas or died at Easter, let alone that the 1 BC to 1 AD turnover corresponds to His birth. But it is not as simple counting with your fingers and toes from a traditional date. Even setting out to write this essay I have had to rewrite it multiple times as I re-examined the evidence until I settled on the absolute details and found the only date of Jesus' crucifixion that balanced the facts with the historical realities was about 3pm on the 7th of April 31 AD. Therefore it is now my honour to guide you on your own journey of descovery as we consider all of the facts.

Yet despite the several decades of Julian calendar use at the time of Jesus' crucifixion and even birth, we don't have a single date anywhere in scripture! Here to for, we are forced to collect the bread crumbs and look at the entirety of Jesus' life in order to determin what was the date of Jesus' crucifixion. However, in order to determine the date of Jesus' crucifixion, we must be logically follow the trail from the blatantly obvious to the finer points. Therefore in this essay we will trace the evidence step by step from: 
# the immutable limitation of Herod the Great's death and the birth narrative 
# to the timestamp window given by Luke at Jesus' baptism of the current regional rulers 
# we will consider the "15th year of Tiberius" and what calendar Luke used to determine what the "15th year of Tiberius" even was 
# from that we will have an immutable date range for Jesus' baptism 
# knowing the date range and year of Jesus' baptism, we will be able to calculate and apply the length of Jesus' public ministry 
# knowing how long Jesus ministered will tell us which Passover Jesus died at 
# consequentially knowing which Passover Jesus died at will allow us to apply the modern Rabbinic calendars to produce the earliest possible date for Jesus' crucifixion. 
# applying John's testimony that the following day was a "high Sabbath" will allow us to correct the mathematical Rabbinic calendar system with the observed data to give the theoretical exact day 
# Knowing Jesus died as the Passover Lamb and the explicitly stated gospel testimony allows us to state the time of day.

While we will have to take some side steps along the way, we will then immutably have:
# a most probable date window for Jesus' birth 
# a window of about a week for Jesus' baptism 
# an exact date and time for Jesus' crucifixion as now humanly possible 

As implied, I too began this study with assumptions of my own. But as the evidence accumulated, those assumptions had to give way. Now I humbly ask for honesty as we consider the facts. By the end, we will arrive at the most probable Gregorian date for the crucifixion and a historically grounded window for the birth of Jesus — the only configuration that satisfies every textual, historical, and astronomical constraint without contradiction. These most probably dates are that Jesus was born during October-November of 5 BC, that he could only have been baptised between the 1-9th of October 27 AD and that he could only have died as the Passover Lamb at 3pmon Friday the 7th of April 31 AD (Gregorian) at an age of 34.5 using our modern systems and 35 under the Hebrew system.

With our outline and purposes stated, let us embark with this final statement in our attempt to be consistent and "compare apples with apples":
* This Essay will use Gregorian calendar dates wherever possible, unless otherwise stated
* This Essay will convert any date into a Gregorian date unless stated.

==Challenging the Traditional Dates (probably now finalised)==
<center>
<div style="display:inline-block; text-align:center; margin-left:40px; margin-right:40px;">

The traditional assumptions simply do not pass the historical requirements 

</div>
</center>

As we embark on this journey to discover the real date of Jesus’ crucifixion, we must begin by gently examining the assumptions most of us inherited. For generations, Christians such as I have repeated the idea that Jesus died at the age of thirty three. It appears in sermons, children’s books, artwork, and popular culture. It is familiar, comfortable, and rarely questioned.

Yet this traditional view rests on two fragile foundations:

There is not a single biblical text that states Jesus was thirty three, and

Every proposed timeline depends on choosing start and end dates that “seem right” rather than dates anchored in evidence.

When we test the familiar claim against the historical record, the Jewish calendar, Roman political chronology, and the Gospel accounts, the traditional timeline collapses almost immediately.
The problem is not with Scripture. The problem is with assumptions added long after the first century.

Therefore we intend to take a journey starting with what is plainly obvious, then move to what is universally agreed and then fill in some blanks with contextual evidence as we logically follow one bread crumb to the next.

===Absolute Requirements===
Before we examine the evidence, we must first acknowledge the non‑negotiable historical constraints in chronological order:

# Jesus must be born before [[Herod the Great]] dies,<ref>Josephus, ''Antiquities'' 17.6.4–5; 17.8.1, describing Herod’s death shortly after the lunar eclipse and before Passover.</ref> with sufficient allowance for Herod's end of life processes to occur.
# Jesus must be baptised "during the 15th year of Tiberius".<ref>Luke 3:1</ref>
# Jesus must be culturally above 30,<ref>Numbers 4:3, 23, 30 [[Dead Sea Scrolls]] / Qumran texts (1QSa; 4Q159; 4Q266–273) Mishnah (m. Tamid 1:1) [[Josephus]], ''Antiquities'' 3.8.14. Sanhedrin 4:3; b. Sanhedrin 17a).</ref> but close enough to "about 30" at his baptism<ref>Luke 3:23</ref> for Luke's statement to be true.
# Jesus’ ministry must witness four Passover festivals.<ref>John 2:13; 5:1; 6:4; 11:55</ref>
# Jesus’ ministry must start and finish during the governorship of [[Pontius Pilate]]<ref>[[Josephus]], ''Antiquities'' 18.2.2.</ref>
# And the absolute single strongest indicator due to rarity is that Jesus must lie in the tomb over a "high Sabbath"<ref>John 19:31</ref>

With these six constraints in mind, you will come to the natural conclusion as stated before that the only viable candidate for Jesus’ crucifixion is the Gregorian date of the 7th of April 31 AD.

==Herod the Great (probably now finalised)==
<center>
<div style="display:inline-block; text-align:center; margin-left:40px; margin-right:40px;">

This secton establishes Jesus birth is prior to 16 March 4 BC 
We will later establish an October-November birth.

</div>
</center>

We begin with the most obvious and immovable fact in the entire chronology: Jesus could not have been born in 1 BC or 1 AD. Despite the entire Western calendar being centred on His birth, the historical Jesus entered the world before those dates — and at the very latest, before 16th of March 4 BC (Gregorian).

Why? Because [[Herod the Great]] had to be alive for the nativity narrative to occur. Matthew records that Herod ordered the slaughter of the infants, and Josephus tells us that Herod died between a lunar eclipse and the following Passover.

Astronomy confirms that the only lunar eclipse visible from Jerusalem in that window occurred on the 16th of March of 4 BC (Gregorian). This is easily verifiable with NASA's "Five Millenium Canon".<ref>NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, “Five Millennium Canon of Lunar Eclipses: -1999 to +3000,” which lists the partial lunar eclipse of 13 March 4 BC (Julian), corresponding to 16 March 4 BC (Gregorian), visible from Judea.</ref>

The next closest events occur on the 15th of September 5 BC, which is too far from a Passover to be considered a viable dating system; while the next event is on the 10th of January 1 BC, but if this date is accepted (as some do), a host of historical synchronisms fail such as Roman consular lists, Archelaus’ reign length and Quirinius’ census while again being too far from the Passover to be considered a valid dating window.

Therefore, Jesus’ birth must have occurred with a sufficient timing for the narrative to play out prior to Herod’s death, necessitating an extremely narrow window of very early 4 BC into 5 BC.
Move Jesus’ birth forward and Herod is dead, move Jesus’ birth further back and the political synchronisms of Luke 3:1-2 fail as well as Jesus would be too old to give justice to Luke's "about 30" statement at Jesus' baptism.<ref>Luke 3:23</ref>

==Jesus, the Passover Lamb (close to finished)==
<center>
<div style="display:inline-block; text-align:center; margin-left:40px; margin-right:40px;">

This secton establishes Jesus must die at a Passover 
We will later establish which Passover

</div>
</center>

Having laid one end of Jesus’ life line at His birth with an immovable historical anchor of a king's death and a lunar eclipse, we now turn to the other end — Jesus death in which we have two immovable facts:
# Jesus died at the moment the Passover Lamb was slain <ref>John 19:14</ref><ref>Matthew 27:46</ref><ref>Mark 15:34</ref><ref>Luke 23:44-46</ref><ref>1 Cor 5:7</ref><ref>[[Josephus]], War 6.9.3</ref>
# Jesus laid in the tomb over a "high Sabbath"<ref>John 19:31</ref>

Expanding upon the first point, all four Gospels place the crucifixion at the Passover festival, which is the the full moon, being the 14th of Nisan. But just like modern calendars, the 14th of Nisan is not a certain day in the weekly cycle.

The Synoptic Gospels being Matthew<ref>Matthew 27:46</ref>, Mark<ref>Mark 15:34</ref> and Luke<ref>Luke 23:44–46</ref> confirm Jesus died at the at or about the ninth hour which corresponds to our 3pm.

When the Apostle Paul calls Jesus "our passover" "sacrificed for us",<ref>1 Cor 5:7</ref> the logical necessity is that he died at the same moment that the priest should have slain the passover lamb.

Developing this idea, Christian tradition records that the actual designated lamb escaped that year, we have no actual original source. But Jerome quoting the now 'lost' or deliberately abandoned [[Gospel of the Hebrews]], records “The huge lintel of the Temple fell and was shattered.”<ref>Jerome,''Commentary on Matthew'' 27:51 “In evangelio quo utuntur Nazaraeni et Ebionitae… superliminare templi infinitae magnitudinis fractum esse atque divisum”</ref> Furthermore the renting of a veil the thickness of a man's hand (3-4", 7.5-10cm)<ref>Talmud, b. Yoma 72b “עביו טפח" “Its thickness was a handbreadth.”</ref> would have been such an event that even without the colapse of the lintle, the tradition is more than plausible.

Again, acknowledging a Passover death immediately narrows the crucifixion to a March–April window in any given year.

Now we need develop the second point that Jesus died on the day before a "high Sabbath". While a minority of scholars argue for a variety diffent days of the week for Jesus crucifiction, the majority scholarship rests on a Friday crucifixion and an Sunday resurection due to this reference: for John's term of "high Sabbath" is created by the overlap of the weekly Sabbath with a ceremonial sabbath, which in this case was the first day of Unleavened Bread; this is clearly a repetition of the Rabbinic concept of "Shabbat and Yom Tov together"<ref>Mishnah Pesachim 6:1 - Passover when it falls on a Sabbath</ref><ref>Mishnah Beitzah 2:1–2 - festival laws when they coincide with the Sabbath.</ref><ref>Talmud Pesachim 95a - Passover sacrifices when the festival falls on a Sabbath were considered more significant, with additional restrictions and offerings.</ref> and "Sabbath with additional offerings"<ref>Numbers 28-29</ref>. This will later let us know how to correct the mathematically determined modern Rabbinical calendar dates to the actually observed date once we know the year.

Therefore we have thus far have firmly established that: 
# Jesus died in a March-April window 
# Jesus died on a Friday 
# Jesus died at or about 3pm 

The question now becomes: Which year?

To answer that, we must understand the calendar system used by first century Jews — a system very different from our modern Gregorian calendar.

==The Rabbinic Calendars==
<center>
<div style="display:inline-block; text-align:center; margin-left:40px; margin-right:40px;">

This secton essentially establishes how our dates are determined 
Thereby we know when we have to switch to an 'observational' date

</div>
</center>

Having placed the two immovable markers at each end of Jesus’ life — His birth before Herod’s death in 4 BC, and His death at Passover — we now need to understand the calendar that determines when Passover actually fell. This is where modern assumptions can quietly mislead us, because the Hebrew calendar used today is not the calendar used in the first century.

The calendar familiar to modern Judaism, the fixed Rabbinic (Hillel II) calendar, was not introduced until the fourth century AD. It is a mathematically calculated system, elegant and predictable, but it did not exist in the time of Jesus. When this later calendar is pushed backward into the first century, it produces dates that simply do not match the historical record. It creates Passovers that fall on the wrong days of the week, contradict Josephus, and fail to align with the Gospel narratives.

The first century Jewish calendar was observational, not mathematical. Months did not begin by calculation but by sighting the first visible crescent of the new moon. If clouds, dust storms, or poor visibility obscured the sky, the new month could be delayed by a day or more. Witnesses would report their sightings to the Sanhedrin, and only then would the new month be declared. This means that the timing of Passover — the 14th day of the first month — could shift slightly from year to year depending on conditions.

Another important difference is that the Jewish civil year did not begin in January, but in the autumn, on Tishri 1, the Feast of Trumpets. You might even say that their Feast of Trumpets and the blowing of the Shofar is loosely similar to our New Years Day celebrated with fireworks. This autumn New Year governed regnal years, contracts, and civil reckoning. When Luke, Josephus and most of the Chronicles speak of regnal years, they are using this Tishri to Tishri system common from Syria to Egypt, not the January to December system we are accustomed to.

A modern parallel would be our financial years. For a business, it doesn’t matter if your first year of business is only three months, the question that will forever exist is: “How many financial years have you traded?” Same here.

These differences are not academic trivia; they shape the very question we are trying to answer. Whether a given year can produce the Passover described in the Gospels depends entirely on which calendar system we apply. If we retroject the later Rabbinic calendar backward, every candidate year falls on an incompatible weekday, making the Gospel narrative impossible. But when we use the observational calendar—the one Jesus, the disciples, and the priests of the Temple actually lived by—the picture changes. A single night of poor visibility could shift the entire month, and with it the date of Passover, bringing certain years into alignment that the fixed calendar would otherwise exclude.

Understanding this restores the world of the Gospels to its proper historical setting. It allows us to evaluate each potential year on its own merits, using the same calendar the first century Jews used, not a later mathematical reconstruction. And with this framework in place, we are now ready to follow the next breadcrumb in our journey: the political world Luke describes, a world whose rulers form a chronological window that cannot be stretched or ignored.

==The Passovers Recorded in John==
<center>
<div style="display:inline-block; text-align:center; margin-left:40px; margin-right:40px;">

This secton overturns oversimplifed Gospel timelines 
This section establishes that Jesus ministry included four Passovers in order to establish a rough timeframe 
So that when we later prove a ministry length of exactly 3.5 years it is believable

</div>
</center>

Before we turn to the political world described by Luke, there is one more piece of neutral, uncontested evidence that must be placed on the table. Regardless of one’s theological background — whether Futurist, Preterist, Historicist, or anything in between — the Gospel of John provides a simple chronological framework that all readers can agree on.

John records multiple Passovers during the ministry of Jesus. These are not symbolic, nor are they theological constructs. They are historical markers woven naturally into the narrative:

</td>

</table>

<center>
'''NB:''' These dates are proposed only. The first‑century Jewish calendar was observational, not fixed. See previous section "The Rabbinic Calendars".
</center>

These references are not debated. They are simply there, and they form a chronological backbone that cannot be compressed into a single year or even two. Even the most conservative reading requires more than three years for Jesus’ public ministry.

This is important because it quietly rules out several popular timelines. Any reconstruction that places the baptism of Jesus in AD 29 and the crucifixion in AD 30, for example, cannot accommodate the Passovers John records. The ministry simply does not fit.

But more importantly for our purposes, these Passovers prepare the ground for what comes next. If Jesus’ ministry spans multiple years, then the political synchronisms in Luke — the rulers he lists with such precision — must fall within a window wide enough to contain those years.

And that brings us naturally to the next breadcrumb in our journey: the political world into which John the Baptist stepped, and the rulers whose overlapping reigns form the outer boundaries of Jesus’ baptism.

==Public Office, Age requirements and the Tishri 1 Cycle==
===Age Requirements===
<center>
<div style="display:inline-block; text-align:center; margin-left:40px; margin-right:40px;">

This secton proves that Jesus had to already be 30 at is baptism 
This must be done as it address miss readings of Luke's age at baptism< 
This forces Jesus' birth into 5 BC

</div>
</center>

Hebrew society functioned on a '''30‑year age requirement''' for all positions of public authority.<ref>Qumran/[[Dead Sea Scrolls]], 1QSa.</ref><ref>Mishnah, Pirkei Avot 5:21 — “At thirty: strength,” understood as maturity, authority, and public responsibility.</ref>
This standard is most clearly evidenced in the priestly role:<ref>Numbers 4:3, 23, 30 — “from thirty years old and upward.”</ref><ref>Qumran/[[Dead Sea Scrolls]], 4Q159.</ref><ref>Qumran/[[Dead Sea Scrolls]], 4Q266–273.</ref><ref>Talmud, Yoma 22b; Hullin 24a.</ref>

At times of national desperation this age was temporarily lowered — for example, in the days of King David, when the minimum was reduced to twenty.<ref>1 Chronicles 23.</ref>
However, this was an administrative exception, not a new norm. By the time of Jesus the original Mosaic age of thirty had clearly returned.<ref>[[Josephus]], Against Apion 2.8.</ref><ref>[[Josephus]], Antiquities 3.12.4.</ref>

The [[Sanhedrin]] likewise required its members to be '''at least thirty years old'''.<ref>Mishnah, Sanhedrin 4:3 — “men of wisdom, maturity, and experience.”</ref>
They followed the Tishri‑based public office cycle discussed next and the same cultural expectation of “maturity” before leadership. In practice, this meant a man had to be married and a father before he could sit in judgment over Israel.<ref>Talmud, Sanhedrin 36b.</ref><ref>Mishnah, Sanhedrin 2:1.</ref> These requirements amoungst others priestly parallels were rigidly enforced.

Jesus Himself expounded this principle when He taught:

''“He that is greatest among you shall be your servant.”''<ref>Matthew 23:1–12 KJV.</ref><ref>Luke 22:24–27 KJV.</ref>

The surrounding passages make clear that '''this was about humility, mercy, and lived experience''' — qualities that only age and responsibility can teach.

Thus, when Luke records that “He began then to be '''about thirty'''”, he is not making a casual remark. He is signalling that Jesus had reached the '''recognised age of public authority''' in Hebrew society.

===Tishri 1 Cycle===
<center>
<div style="display:inline-block; text-align:center; margin-left:40px; margin-right:40px;">

This secton is needed in concjuction with Rabbinic calendars to establish all exact dates 
This section helps the reader understand how important counting of their New Year was 
This will later help the reader understand the Persian New Year and calandar cycle

</div>
</center>

As noted above with the [[Sanhedrin]], Hebrew society did not begin public roles, appointments, or ministries at random points in the year. All public offices — priestly, judicial, royal, and prophetic — cycled with the civil New Year on 1 Tishri. This was the moment when:

* regnal years began,

* priestly rotations reset,

* civic administration renewed,

* contracts and legal obligations rolled over,

* and public ministries commenced.

This pattern is visible throughout Scripture and Second Temple practice. The civil year (Tishri‑based) governed:

the enthronement and regnal accounting of kings,<ref>1 Kings 8–9; Josephus, Antiquities 8.3.1.</ref>

* the agricultural and sabbatical cycles,<ref>Leviticus 25.</ref>

* the priestly service calendar,<ref>Numbers 28–29; 1 Chronicles 24.</ref>

* the judicial year and civic administration,<ref>Mishnah, Rosh Hashanah 1:1.</ref>

* and the renewal of public roles and appointments.<ref>Qumran/Dead Sea Scrolls, 1QSa; 4Q159.</ref>

The Mishnah explicitly states that 1 Tishri is the “New Year for years, sabbatical cycles, and jubilees.”<ref>Mishnah, Rosh Hashanah 1:1.</ref>
This was not merely a religious observance; it was the administrative backbone of Hebrew governance.

Thus, when a man reached the recognised age of public authority (thirty), he did not begin his ministry immediately. He waited until the civil New Year, when all public offices formally commenced. This explains why:

* [[John the Baptist]] began his ministry at Tishri,

* [[Jesus]] began His ministry at Tishri,

* [[Pontius Pilate]] would have assumed office at Tishri,

* '''and all public ministries''' in Judea aligned with the same annual cycle.

This was not coincidence. It was the '''standardised national rhythm''' of public life and gives us a context for ''when things happened'' and ''why'' then.

===the Synthosis===
These age and calendar cycles created a minimum structured system that would have flowed throughout society, whereby young men worked, built families, and gained experience. Only once they reached maturity — symbolised by being thirty before Tishri 1 — were they considered ready to step into roles of public responsibility.

This cultural rhythm lets us expect that:
* John the Baptist, a Levite, would begin his ministry at a Tishri boundary once he had reached the culturally recognised age of maturity.
* Jesus, though not a Levite — “For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest…”<ref>Hebrews 8:4, KJV</ref> — would still be expected to begin His public ministry only after reaching the same threshold of maturity before a civil New Year.
* Pilate, arriving as a new Roman governor, would take office from Tishri 1, aligning his administration with the same civil cycle that governed Judean life.

Thus the prophetic world, the religious world, and the political world all moved to the same annual rhythm. And when we examine the chronology of John and Jesus, this cultural precedent will explain why their ministries begin when they do — without yet requiring us to establish the exact year of Jesus’ birth.

==Luke’s King List==
<center>
<div style="display:inline-block; text-align:center; margin-left:40px; margin-right:40px;">

This secton forces Jesus' baptisim between 26 AD and 29 AD

</div>
</center>

Having established the cultural rhythm by which public roles began at the civil New Year, Luke now provides the most detailed political timestamp in the New Testament. Instead of giving a date, he gives a synchronised list of rulers, which in the ancient world was the standard method of anchoring an event in time.
Luke writes:
:''“Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests…”'' (Luke 3:1–2, KJV)
Each of these men has a known tenure. Individually, their dates are broad. Together, they form a narrow political window.

<table align="center" border ="0"; style="width:45em; font-size:90%; text-align: center;" cellspacing="4">
<tr><th colspan="4" style="text-align:center; font-size:large;" class="fn" BGCOLOR="cyan">Current Rulers List - Luke 3:1-2</th>

<tr><th colspan="2" style="text-align:center; font-size:large;" class="fn" BGCOLOR="cyan">Max. Possible Baptism Window</th>
<td>'''AD 26'''</td><td>'''AD 29'''</td>
</table>

When these tenures are overlaid, the only years in which all these rulers simultaneously held office are: AD 26 to AD 29 This is the political frame '''in which John the Baptist must appear, and shortly thereafter, Jesus must be baptised.'''

==In the Fifteenth Year of Tiberius Caesar==
<center>
<div style="display:inline-block; text-align:center; margin-left:40px; margin-right:40px;">

This secton refines Jesus' baptisim into the year commencing 30th of September 27 AD

</div>
</center>
Yet if we really note Luke’s opening line, we can see that he has given us a chronological marker that is unusually precise for ancient literature:

:“Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar…” (Luke 3:1, KJV)

This is one of the most secure dates in the entire New Testament because it is aligned to two events of extreme historical note: the death of the emperor Augustus and the accession of Tiberius Caesar, both occurring on the Julian date of 19 August AD 14, which corresponds to 21 August AD 14 in the proleptic Gregorian calendar. Roman historians Tacitus, Suetonius, and Cassius Dio all record the same accession. Counting from that point, the fifteenth year of Tiberius falls within a narrow and universally accepted range.

* If we use the Roman civil method of counting regnal years (anniversaries of accession), then Tiberius’ fifteenth year runs from 21 August AD 28 to 21 August AD 29 (Gregorian).
* If we use the Syrian Regional Regnal Reckoning, which Luke, Josephus, and the Chronicles employ, counting from Tishri to Tishri, then Tiberius’ fifteenth year runs from 30 September AD 27 to 19 September AD 28 (Gregorian).

We now have an absolutely solid timestamp for the moment when John the Baptist came preaching the revelations he had received from “the Word of God” and '''the baptism of Jesus''' followed — immutably between '''30 September AD 27''' and '''19 September AD 28'''.

==John the Baptist and the 70 Week Prophecy==
<center>
<div style="display:inline-block; text-align:center; margin-left:40px; margin-right:40px;">

This section establishes the absolute necessity of a 3½‑year ministry for Jesus, making it certain that His baptism occurred during the Days of Awe—between the Feast of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement. 
This section also provides a secondary confirmation for 27 AD as the year of Jesus’ baptism. 
It identifies the exact Passover at which Jesus died, based on John’s record of four Passovers. 
Finally, it demonstrates that none of these events were random, but prophetically determined.

</div>
</center>

'''“The time is fulfilled!”''' With those four words [[John the Baptist]] shattered four centuries of prophetic silence. But his hearers would have felt the shock of a deeper question: '''“What time?”''' What prophetic clock had suddenly struck its final moment?

Words such as '''“repent”''' and '''“even now is the axe laid to the root”''' only heightened the realisation of imminent divine judgement. But something even more shocking was happening in plain sight: '''John was baptising Jews.'''

In Hebrew society, baptism was the rite for outsiders — foreigners who wished to join the Jewish Nation. For John to baptise Jews was to signal that the nation itself was under judgement. It was the image of men abandoning a sinking ship: men who did not want to share the fate of a damned nation whose reckoning was imminent, and '''whose only hope was to re‑nationalise''' into the Kingdom of God.

Luke tells us simply that “the Word of God came unto John in the wilderness.” Yet modern readers often glance over this phrase and miss its force. Throughout Scripture, the “word of God” most naturally refers to the written Word. Even today the expression is synonymous with “the Bible.” The implication is that God spoke to John through a specific passage of Scripture which he was now preaching with gusto. But which passage?

John had grown up, like every Hebrew child, hearing the priestly hopes of a coming Messiah and a restored national glory. These hopes were anchored in the prophecy of Daniel 9. The Jews, reading into the chapter what they wished to see, boasted that the prophecy foretold the downfall of Rome. They taunted their occupiers that their days were numbered. As a result, the Romans themselves studied Daniel 9 and shaped their eastern policy around it, as reflected in the questions of [[Pontius Pilate|Pilate]] and in the writings of [[Tacitus]] and [[Suetonius]]. Pilate’s opening inquiry — “Art thou a king then?” — was essentially: “Are you the one we have been expecting?”

But when John held the prophecy in his own hands, he did not see a promise of Roman destruction. '''He saw a warning of Jewish destruction'''. The prophecy declared that if the nation rejected the Messiah, the city and sanctuary would be destroyed — and by the very power the Jews were provoking.

Being far closer to the events in question, John counted the years and the days with precision. The numbers pointed unmistakably to his own generation. The Advent of the Messiah was not centuries away. It was imminent — due in the very days ahead. So imminent in fact that he even declared: '''"there standeth one among you"'''.

Which prophecy was John preaching?

There is only one that contains '''time''', the '''Messiah''', judgement and the '''destruction of the city'''. Daniel 9, otherwise known as "the 70 Weeks" or "Seventy Weeks of Years".

Here is the moment that I must pause as everyone has their own opinion on this prophecy. But the question is not what we believe, it is what did the ancients believe? And for them it wasn't a belief, it was an observable science! It was so observable that [[Porphyry]] in his book [[Against the Christians]] invented what we now call [[Preterism]] in order to academically redirect the prophecy so that [[Jesus Christ]] is not the Messiah.

Below is a table of ancient Christians who understood that the 70 Weeks were a prophecy dating the exact time of Jesus public advent and crucifixion.

The point must be stated plainly: John was not preaching symbolism, sentiment, or liturgical imagery. He was preaching chronology. The seventy weeks were not a metaphor; they were a measurable, clinical timetable that had reached its final days. John’s cry, “The time is fulfilled,” was not theological poetry — it was the mathematical expiration of Daniel’s prophecy. And because the prophecy itself warned that rejection of the Messiah would bring the destruction of the city and sanctuary, '''John’s message carried the full weight of impending national judgment'''. This is why the ancients treated Daniel 9 as a science, not an opinion. They read it as a countdown that terminated in the public manifestation and sacrificial death of the Christ, the Messiah. The above table records their testimony as a "cloud of witnesses"<ref>Hebrews 12:1 ''"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,"</ref>.

===How John the Baptist would have calculated the 70 Weeks===
Now we shall ask: How did John the Baptist calculate the 70‑week prophecy, and why was he so certain that “''the '''time is fulfilled'''”?''

The first question is simply this: '''Which commandment did he use as the starting point?'''

In modern times much debate is given to which Medo‑Persian “commandment” should begin Daniel’s 70 Weeks. Yet all the ancient Christian writers listed above — and even Jewish and pagan commentators — were in complete agreement. To them the correct decree was obvious: it was the one that '''restored the legal and civil status of Jerusalem as a functioning polity''', and '''granted an open cheque book for the Temple’s reconstruction'''.

This was the decree issued under the reign of [[Artaxerxes I Longimanus]], during the period when [[Book of Esther|Queen Esther]] served as Queen Mother in the Persian court after the death of [[Amestris]]. A full legal copy of this decree is preserved in the [[Book of Ezra]]; as further testimony to this, the writer of [[The Book of Ezra]] even changes languages from [[Hebrew]] to Imperial [[Aramaic]] (the Persian administrative language).

Today scholars and lay readers alike ask: “Do we use [[Cyrus II the Greatg|Cyrus’]] decree, Darius’, [[Artaxerxes I Longimanus|Artaxerxes’]], or Nehemiah’s?”

Historically, however, there was no such confusion. Even the Talmud’s curse — “Blasted be the bones of those who calculate the end” (Sanhedrin 97b) — is an indirect admission of how sensitive and decisive this prophecy was understood to be. Likewise, Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki (Rashi) preserved the traditional Jewish computation, even though he could not accept its implications, which may be summarised as: “The numbers point to Jesus, but since we do not accept Him as Messiah, we must still wait.”

As the reader may not be familiar with why there is even a debate today, the following table contrasts the four possible decrees so the differences are plain. The Christian reader will also note that only one of these decrees viably preserves Jesus as the Messiah concluding Daniel’s 69 weeks or 483‑year timeline.

|}

So as the Rabbis counted, and as all the early Christians understood, John the Baptist would have worked from the same starting point: the decree issued by [[Artaxerxes I Longimanus]] in '''457 BC'''. The exact day of the royal decision was probably unknown even then, but the effects were obvious.

Ezra was ordered to depart on the '''1st of Nisan''', the first day of the Persian civil year. With known travel times, he arrived in Jerusalem in late July or August. Civil governors, magistrates, and law‑enforcement officers were appointed soon after, and '''everything was in place for the 1st of Tishri''', the beginning of the Hebrew civil new year at the end of September.

As a native Hebrew speaker, John understood the key word in Daniel’s prophecy: '''צֵאת (tzeit)''' — “going out,” “being put into effect,” “being sent out.” It does not mean the moment of drafting or signing. It means the moment the decree '''takes effect'''. So John was never concerned with the fine details. As shown above in the section on ''Public Offices, Age Requirements and the Tishri 1 Cycle'', '''everything began on New Year’s Day''', and this decree was no different.

While in John’s day the chronological records of the Persian period were still well known and close to living memory, in our modern era the date of 457 BC is established through the work of historians who anchor Persian regnal years using the Babylonian Astronomical Diaries. Modern chronologists rely on these astronomical records—occasionally preserved on clay tablets—to stabilise the Achaemenid timeline. Some earlier writers suggested that a lunar eclipse recorded on the British Museum tablet BM 32234 belonged to the twentieth year of Artaxerxes I Longimanus, and therefore had relevance to the dating of Ezra’s return.<ref>E. W. Bullinger, The Companion Bible, Appendix 86; Siegfried H. Horn & Lynn H. Wood, The Chronology of Ezra 7 (Review and Herald, 1970), pp. 99–101.</ref> However, using tools such as NASA’s Javascript Lunar Eclipse Explorer<ref>https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/JLEX/JLEX-index.html</ref>, we examined every eclipse visible from Babylon within Artaxerxes’ twentieth regnal year and confirmed what modern scholarship has long recognised: no eclipse in Artaxerxes’ reign matches the description on BM 32234, and the tablet must therefore belong to a different king.<ref>A. Sachs & H. Hunger, Astronomical Diaries and Related Texts, Vol. 1 (Vienna: Austrian Academy of Sciences, 1988), pp. 47–48; R. A. Parker & W. H. Dubberstein, Babylonian Chronology 626 B.C.–A.D. 75 (Providence: Brown University Press, 1956), pp. 14–16; O. Neugebauer, Astronomical Cuneiform Texts, Vol. 1 (Lund, 1955), pp. 40–41.</ref> Other astronomical tablets have indeed helped refine the chronology, but the regnal years of Artaxerxes I are not in dispute, and thus the date of 457 BC for Ezra’s return—and its role in this prophecy—remains secure.

John also knew what people today call the “day‑for‑a‑year principle,” as did the Rabbis and the entire nation. This is perfectly evidenced by Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki ''Commentary on Daniel'' as listed above. Therefore applying the principle to Daniel’s numbers really was quite simple:

<center>
7 symbolic weeks x 7 days per week = '''49 years'''

62 symbolic weeks x 7 days per week = '''434 years'''

Total = '''483 years'''

The legislation took effect on '''1st of Tishri''', therefore:

both the public appearance of the Messiah, and

the final seven years of Jewish national Divine sufferance

'''both begin on 1 Tishri, 483 years after the decree of 457 BC.'''

''This is was the '''30th of September 27 AD'''''

(remember to add +1 to compensate for no zero year: therefore -457 + 483 = +26 + 1 = 27 AD) 
</center>

John read the tone of Daniel 9 as: "O Daniel, you are greatly beloved, but your people... not so much. It is over, I the Creator am done. From the day the Jerusalem is restored as a functioning polity, you have 490 years and my obligations and vows are complete. I will continue to honour my vows until Messiah and a little after in order for your people to hopefully comprehend what they have done and repent as individuals. But I am done; it is over; I can't do this any more. Then I will let them suffer the consequences of their own actions."

John understood with horror that the Hebrew nation was over and had been for quite some time; the nation had been a dead man walking since the days of Daniel with a single purpose: to produce the Messiah<ref>Daniel 9:24-27</ref> and for his followers to flee<ref>Matthew 24:16</ref><ref>Mark 13:14</ref><ref>Luke 21:21</ref>. John understood that this process was now in its final stage.

John went that very 1st of Tishri with a message that struck the nation like a thunderclap. He was not calling Israel to a new moral program, nor offering a fresh interpretation of the Law. He was announcing that Daniel’s clock had run out, that the 483 years were complete, and that the final seven years of national Divine sufferance had begun. John was teaching that the Nation was over, only the individual had any hope to save themselves symbolised in baptism.

Herein John did something no prophet had ever done: '''he baptised Jews as if they were Gentiles'''. Baptism was the rite of a convert wishing to join the Hebrew Nation and declare alligence to the Creator, a symbolic renunciation of one’s former identity. For John to require this of Israelites was a declaration that the nation itself had forfeited its Divine representation and privilages. If anyone wished to enter the Kingdom of God, they must enter it as individuals, not as members of a privileged nation.

With thunderous and bold articulation sharpened by exact and unflinching reasoning, John shook the nation to its core so that his name rested on every lip. He condemned the elite for their corruption and refused to baptise them, declaring: “O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?”<ref>Matthew 3:7</ref> Here again John invokes “the wrath to come” — the very wrath decreed in Daniel 9. John was not speaking of some vague future calamity; he was referencing the specific, time‑bound judgement Gabriel had announced to Daniel. The Pharisees and Sadducees were not merely sinners among sinners; they were, in John’s eyes, the direct custodians of the nation’s damnation, the ones whose leadership had brought Israel to the brink of the desolation foretold centuries earlier. His message was unmistakable: '''“How dare you try to flee the very ship you yourselves have sunk!”'''

John’s accusation was not random. By calling them a “brood of vipers,” he was not only invoking the serpent of Eden; he was identifying them with the serpent‑oracles of pagan religion — the python and pythonessa priests and priestesses whose poisonous utterances corrupted nations. In the ancient world, the viper was the emblem of the Python of Delphi, the serpent‑spirit whose mediums deceived kings and peoples. John’s charge therefore carried a precise theological weight: Israel’s own religious elite had become the spiritual heirs of the serpent‑oracle, poisoning the nation from within. They were the ones who had turned the Holy of Holies into a chamber containing nothing but a stone — a fitting symbol of the nation’s stony heart. They were the ones who had presided over a Temple devoid of the Shekinah, a nation devoid of repentance, and a covenant in its final countdown.

Thus John’s refusal to baptise them was not a moral rebuke but a prophetic verdict. They could not produce “fruits meet for repentance” because the corruption was systemic, generational, and deliberate. The axe, he declared, was already laid at the root of the trees. The judgement of Daniel 9 was not pending; it was already unfolding. The nation had been a dead man walking since the days of Daniel, and the leadership bore the greatest guilt. Only the Messiah could change such hearts; only He could replace stone with flesh; only He could purge the threshing floor of Israel.

Having detailed the context and the issues, it becomes clear that '''John the Baptist understood the prophetic timeline with terrifying precision'''. He knew that the nation’s covenantal clock had been running since the decree of Artaxerxes, and that the moment he stood in the Jordan River, the countdown had reached its appointed terminus. In John’s mind, the prophetic structure was unmistakable:

<center>

'''457 BC, Tishri 1''' — The Seventy Weeks of Years began

'''27 AD, Tishri 1''' — The sixty‑nine weeks had concluded, confirming the Divine judgement

'''27 AD, Tishri 1''' — The Messiah was publicly due

(remember to add +1 to compensate for no zero year: therefore -457 + 483 = +26 + 1 = 27 AD)

Having established that John the Baptist announced Israel’s entry into the final week of Daniel’s 70 Weeks on 30 September AD 27, we now come to the moment that formally inaugurates Jesus’ own ministry — His baptism. This event occurs within the Days of Awe, the brief period between the Feast of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement (9 October AD 27), the very window in which Israel expected divine revelation and judgment.

At His baptism, Jesus is anointed by the Holy Spirit, fulfilling the requirement that the Messiah be “anointed” at the appointed time. Immediately afterward He proclaims, “The time is fulfilled” (Mark 1:15), signalling that the prophetic clock has reached the beginning of its final 3½‑year segment — the period in which the Messiah would minister before being “cut off” in the midst of the week.

The Gospel of John confirms this duration by recording four Passovers during Jesus’ ministry, establishing a span of approximately 3½ years from His baptism to His crucifixion. Thus, Jesus’ baptism is not merely a symbolic act; it is the prophetic commencement of the final portion of Daniel’s timetable, aligning perfectly with the feasts, the calendar, and Jesus’ own repeated references to “the time” and “the hour.”

Luke introduces Jesus’ baptism as the moment Messiah enters public ministry with the statement that He '''“began then to be about thirty years of age”''' (Luke 3:23). The Greek text is intentionally approximate. The verb ''ἤρχετο'' (''ērcheto'', “began”) marks a transition, and the phrase ''ὡσεὶ τριάκοντα'' (''hōsei triakonta'', “about thirty”) shows that Luke is not giving a precise birthday. The natural reading is that Jesus was '''entering the age‑category''' of “around thirty,” and that His literal birthday was near, though Luke may not know the exact day. Luke’s ultimate concern is not precision but qualification: Jesus was '''legally old enough''' for public ministry.

In a society that did not particularly note birthdays, but instead counted only the number of annual cycles a person had lived through, exact age was socially irrelevant except for processes that required it. The Hebrews did not celebrate birthdays as chronological markers; they counted age by the number of years one had ''begun'', with each new year starting at Tishri 1. Because of this, Luke’s uncertainty is entirely understandable. He did not need to know Jesus’ exact birthday — only that Jesus had entered the legally recognised age‑category required for public ministry. Thus his phrase “ὡσεὶ τριάκοντα” (“about thirty”) is not an imprecise chronology but a culturally normal way of saying, “He was legally old enough.”

Put simply: ''We count age by years completed after birth, they counted age by calendar cycles begun.''

This is crucial because ancient Hebrews did not count age the way modern people do. '''We count years completed from birth; they counted years begun, cycled at Tishri 1.''' The Hebrew calendar was observational and lunar, with months shifting according to weather, witness testimony, and occasional intercalary months. In such a system, birthdays could not function as fixed legal markers. Instead, legal age categories—like regnal years, sabbatical cycles, and civil reckoning—were tied to the '''Tishri 1''' new year. A man became “thirty” for legal purposes '''on Tishri 1 of the year he entered his thirtieth year''', regardless of the exact day of his birth.

This cultural reality creates a decisive chronological constraint. Jesus must be '''legally thirty''' on '''1 Tishri AD 27''', because His ministry begins in that civil year — the '''“fifteenth year of Tiberius”''' — as counted from Tishri 1 to Tishri 1. But He must '''not''' be legally thirty on 1 Tishri AD 26, or He would have been eligible to begin His ministry a year earlier, contradicting Luke’s synchronism. Therefore, '''Jesus’ literal birthday must fall after 1 Tishri, not before it.'''

The timing of the baptism reinforces this. John’s message of repentance and preparation aligns naturally with the '''Days of Awe''' — the ten‑day period between the Feast of Trumpets and the [[Day of Atonement]]. This places Jesus’ baptism between '''30 September and 9 October AD 27''', shortly after the civil new year. Luke’s “about thirty” fits perfectly: Jesus is legally thirty by Tishri 1, yet His literal birthday is close enough that Luke mentions it while still speaking with approximation.

This requirement — that Jesus be born '''after''' Tishri 1 but still '''before''' Herod’s death in early 4 BC — creates a narrow and precise window. A birth too close to 4 BC would compress the nativity events (purification, Magi, flight to Egypt, Herod’s final illness, eclipse, and Passover). A birth before Tishri 1 would make Him legally thirty in AD 26, breaking the chronology. The only window that satisfies all constraints is a '''post‑Tishri 1 birth in 5 BC''', corresponding to October–November on the Gregorian calendar.

This window provides:

sufficient time for the nativity narrative before Herod’s death

alignment with the civil age requirement

harmony with Luke’s approximate “about thirty”

compatibility with the Days of Awe baptism

preservation of the fifteenth year of Tiberius

and the necessary 3½‑year ministry ending at Passover AD 31

=== Author’s Note ===
In the opinion of this author, it is my personal belief that the actual birthday may be very close to the Day of At‑one‑ment, Yom Kippur; in fact, I would not be surprised if Jesus’ baptism occurred on His birthday so that He literally “began then to be about 30.” I also find the idea that “they shall call his name '''Emmanuel''', which being interpreted is, '''God with us'''”<ref>Matthew 1:23 (KJV)</ref> is the perfect synonym to “At‑One.” Likewise, “the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us,” and “Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be '''made like unto his brethren''', that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.”<ref>Hebrews 2:17 (KJV)</ref> The emphasis that He was “made like unto his brethren” and then stands as High Priest on the day of making ‘At‑One’ is beautiful and synchronous with the Sanctuary system — so much so that it is profoundly moving, and even now I wipe my eyes.

But this author does not find sufficient evidence to assert this personal thought as historical fact. This essay is about the harmonisation of the actual evidence and stating only that which history and the text allow.

FIFA World Cup

Aschlafly — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 23:40:24 GMT

Aschlafly: The defending champion of the men's World Cup in 2026 is Argentina, which defeated France on penalty kicks in 2022. Brazil has won the most World Cups, with its total of 5.

The '''FIFA World Cup''' is a global [[soccer|association football]] ([[soccer]]) tournament held every four years since 1930 (except during the [[World War II]]). Its scale as a global sporting event is challenged only by the [[Olympics]]. The Women's World Cup began in 1991, and has been played every four years since.

In the current form, the final tournament is contested by 32 nations who, with the exception of the host nation, are required to qualify by beating others from their region in a preliminary tournament. The defending champion of the men's World Cup in 2026 is Argentina, which defeated [[France]] on penalty kicks in 2022. [[Brazil]] has won the most World Cups, with its total of 5.

==Dominance by Christian Nations==
It is notable that strongly Christian nations have won every World Cup. Muslim teams, such as Iran, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, have all failed at various world cups. It is also noticeable that as nations Christian ways have diminished, like Brazil's increasing acceptance of gay marriage, their performance has suffered also. In fact, Brazil have been the favorites for two of the last three tournaments and failed both times, while the truly Christian US have improved and other Christian nations have followed.

Another case in point is Spain, who were knocked out in 2006, were only able to win in 2010 after losing 1-0 in the first match and only winning by a goal in each of their four knockout matches and were beaten easily in the group stages in 2014.

Aschlafly:

Underrated Sports Stars

Aschlafly — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 22:49:10 GMT

Aschlafly: The liberal media hates outspokenly Christian black athletes.

The [[lamestream media]] promote athletes based not on skill, but for [[liberal]] reasons. Here's a growing list of the most '''''underrated''''' sports stars (two of whom also made the ''Bleacher Report'''s independent ranking<ref>https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2567759-15-of-the-most-underrated-superstars-in-sports-history</ref>):
{| class="wikitable"
|-

!Possible reasons for being underrated
|-
|Scottie Scheffler
|More than 3 full years (and counting) at #1 in golf and so dominant that distant rivals have been heckled about it,<ref>https://www.themirror.com/sport/golf/jon-rahm-scottie-scheffler-liv-1231903</ref> and attaining at merely age 27 the rank of #10 (and rising) among the top all-time earnings winners, Scheffler's 20 [[PGA]] tour wins as of January 2026 "include two Masters, two Players (the richest event on the PGA Tour), two Arnold Palmer Invitationals, two WM Phoenix Opens (one of which was a signature event) as well as a Match Play"<ref>https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/golf/2024/04/15/scottie-scheffler-10th-all-time-pga-tour-money-list/73334764007/</ref> and the [[PGA]] championship in May 2025.<ref>https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/45213537/pga-championship-scottie-scheffler-wanamaker-trophy-best-golf</ref> He also won the gold medal in golf at the [[2024 Summer Olympics]].
|Scheffler said in an interview shortly before winning his second [[Masters]]: "I believe in [[Jesus]]. Ultimately, I think that's what defines me the most...I was called here to glorify [[God]]."<ref>https://readlion.com/top-ranked-golfer-scottie-scheffler-finds-his-identity-in-christ-not-golf/</ref>
|-
|"Shoeless" [[Joe Jackson]]
|Greatest hitter [[Babe Ruth]] said he ever saw, Jackson is #3 in career batting average in [[Major League Baseball]] but wrongly excluded from its Hall of Fame. Jackson also had a tremendous throwing arm and is ranked among the top 20 outfielders ever. In the [[Black Sox Scandal|1919 World Series]], Jackson hit a spectacular .375 (.394 on-base percentage), with 12 hits, 5 runs, 3 doubles, a home run, and 6 RBIs,<ref>https://www.baseball-almanac.com/players/playerpost.php?p=jacksjo01&ps=ws</ref> and yet a liberal, publicity-seeking former federal judge falsely declared that Jackson was part of a group allowing the other side to win for [[gambling|gamblers]] (after a [[jury]] fully acquitted Jackson).
|In [[liberal denial]], [[Leftist]]s refuse to admit and correct how a tyrannical federal judge-turned-commissioner wrongly made Jackson a scapegoat for the 1919 White Sox [[gambling]] scandal, falsely saying that Jackson was in a group that deliberately allowed the opponent to win when in fact Jackson's play was spectacular.
|-
|[[Nikola Jokić]]
|The only player in [[NBA]] history to lead the playoffs in points, assists, and rebounds.<ref name="Bio">https://playersbio.com/is-nikola-jokic-muslim-or-christian-nuggets-star-religion-ethnicity/ This statistic is based on the playoff totals, not averages for only a few games. See all the 2023 playoff statistics here: https://basketball.realgm.com/nba/playoffs/stats</ref> Jokic was snubbed by the [[liberal media]] to deny his third consecutive MVP and an [[ESPN]] commentator later said it was a mistake to leave Jokic off his ballot entirely.<ref>https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/espn-s-mark-jackson-admits-nikola-jokic-blunder-after-mvp-ballot-criticism/ar-AA1b4Ex4></ref> Jokic won [[NBA]] MVP for the prior two straight years, and led the 4-0 sweep of [[LeBron James]]' Lakers in spring 2023. Jokic then led the Nuggets to near sweep (4-1) in the finals, as he shattered more records.
|The [[liberal media]] may not have wanted this white player (Jokic) to surpass [[Michael Jordan]] and [[LeBron James]] by winning 3 MVPs a row.

Also, Jokic is a [[Christian]] [[Serb]] who "celebrates [[Christmas]] with the older [[Julian calendar]]."<ref name="Bio"/>
|-
|[[Rogers Hornsby]]
|one of the greatest right-handed [[baseball]] hitters ever, and perhaps the finest player-manager (winning the [[World Series]] that way against the mighty Yankees in 1926).
|Opposed [[alcohol]], refused to read newspapers, played mostly in the [[Midwest]], retired 70 hits short of the 3,000-hit club,<ref>https://www.baseball-almanac.com/players/player.php?p=hornsro01</ref> and owners disliked his [[free market]] salary demands.
|-
|[[Kylian Mbappe]]
|established himself as the greatest [[soccer]] player ever by carrying his team ([[France]]) to win the [[World Cup]] at age 19 and then completely dominating the entire tournament to carry his team to a near-victory at age 23.
|The [[liberal media]] hates outspokenly [[Christian]] black athletes.
|-
|[[Larry Fitzgerald]]
|2nd greatest wide receiver ever, after Jerry Rice.
|The [[corrupt NFL]] dislikes outspoken [[Christian]]s, as Fitzgerald states “I believe in [[God]]. God controls my fate. Whatever God’s plan is, I will follow.”<ref>https://thebasketfoot.wordpress.com/2014/07/23/christian-athlete-of-the-week-larry-fitzgerald/ (Credit: Athletes4Christ)</ref> Also, the [[liberal media]] do not like to promote players who are smarter than owners, and Fitzgerald is an intelligent [[chess]] enthusiast.
|-
|Eliud Kipchoge
|Greatest [[marathon]] runner ever, who repeatedly wins and sets world records. Called "probably the best athlete alive."<ref>https://www.insidehook.com/article/sports/kipchoge-long-distance-best-ever</ref>
|Outspoken [[Christian]] who prays before his races, attends church on Sundays, and for whom his wife fasts for days before her husband's races.
|-
|[[Hank Aaron]]
|Home run king, a very fast baserunner with a high batting average, and a repeat winner of the Golden Glove Award for superb fielding until [[Roberto Clemente]] began winning that. Appearing healthy, Hank Aaron unexpectedly died in his sleep about 2.5 weeks after receiving a [[COVID vaccine]].
|Converted to [[Christianity]] early in his career and liked books such as ''The Life of Christ'' (1954). Also played for teams that generally were not successful.
|-
|Gale Sayers
|Nicknamed the "Kansas Comet," Sayers was the finest, most elegant open-field running back and kick-returner ever, and the youngest inducted into the [[NFL]] Hall of Fame.
|Wrote a best-selling book entitled ''I Am Third'' ([[Jesus]] is first) which became a hit TV movie, and supported [[Republican]] [[Richard Nixon]]'s reelection in 1972.
|-
|Art Monk
|A wide receiver who broke the record for career catches at the time,<ref>https://washington.cbslocal.com/2012/10/19/remembering-art-monks-record-breaking-night-20-years-later/</ref> carried the Washington Redskins to three Super Bowl victories with three different quarterbacks, and reached a fourth Super Bowl where the Redskins came up short when its QB lacked an arm strong enough to throw amid high winds. Monk shattered many records and was one of the most dominant WR's ever, yet he was not inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame until after many years of being eligible for it as writers for the [[liberal media]] (''Sports Illustrated'') vocally opposed this honor.
|He became a born-again [[Christian]] while playing in the [[NFL]],<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2004/04/11/redskins-gibbs-keeps-the-faith/77b0cab3-93b8-4fd3-bcf5-0c7a9353c3c0/</ref> and continues to speak out in support of his [[faith]].
|-
|Tim Brown
|gained the fifth-most overall yardage of any NFL player,<ref>http://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/all_purpose_yds_career.htm</ref> despite playing for weak teams; he gained more yardage than many Hall of Famers, and yet he was not voted into the NFL Hall of Fame for five years until 2015. He is one of only 9 players ever to both win the Heisman Trophy and be inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame.
|Preached his [[Christian]] [[faith]] and played [[Gospel]] music in the Raiders' weight room
|-
|Jim Brown
|honored as the greatest football player of all time in 2002 by the ''Sporting News'', today Brown is opposed by the media while lesser players are promoted<ref>http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BrowJi00.htm</ref><ref>http://www.profootballhof.com/players/jim-brown/</ref><ref>http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2016/11/why_it_took_so_long_for_jim_br.html</ref>
|Brown supported [[Donald Trump]] after he was elected, and defended Trump against [[John Lewis]]. Brown also has a history of abuse against women.
|-
|[[Roberto Clemente]]
|The best defensive outfielder ever with the finest throwing arm, Clemente was also the top hitter of the 1960s who led his Pittsburgh Pirates to a phenomenal [[World Series]] triumph against the heavily favored Yankees in 1960 (and he again led the Pirates to the title in 1971). Clemente successfully hit in all 14 World Series games in which he played, including clutch hits in the 7th games of both title victories. His humanitarianism is widely praised, but his playing skills have not been recognized as much as they should.
|Clemente was outspoken about his [[faith]] in [[God]] in his interviews with the [[liberal media]].
|-
|Stephen Curry
|One of only four NBA players to win multiple NBA championships, NBA MVPs, and scoring titles,<ref>The three others were Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Michael Jordan - considered among the top five players ever.</ref> and Curry is probably the finest NBA shooter of all-time. Yet he received 0 out of 10 votes for MVP in the finals in 2015, which was given to a teammate who was not even initially a starter in the series.<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2015/06/17/should-andre-iguodala-have-won-the-nba-finals-mvp-award-over-lebron-james/</ref> Curry led his team in scoring, assists, and steals during the 2014-2015 season.
|He's an outspoken [[Christian]] who even engraves a [[Bible]] verse on his shoes, departing Nike to do that.<ref>http://www.christianpost.com/news/stephen-currys-new-basketball-sneaker-features-bible-verse-133582/</ref> In addition, the Golden State Warriors have adopted the "superteam" mentality of NBA franchises (signing several elite players onto one team), a strategy disliked by sports purists.
|-
|Novak Djokovic
|"He put together the greatest season since Australian champion Rod Laver won the Grand Slam in 1969. Despite that, mainstream reports after his US Open win virtually failed to mention the Serb’s remarkable season ...."<ref>|http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/tennis/novak-djokovic-could-surpass-rafael-nadal-and-roger-federer/story-fnii0pkt-1227533813947?sv=1ecd2a1ea5a8d6f4b29142dce5edd117</ref>
|He's one of the [[Essay:Greatest Conservative Sports Stars|Greatest Conservative Sports Stars]]; also American media usually does not follow sports where there are no American superstars, and tennis has not had a men's superstar since John McEnroe (it is dominated by Europeans). Further he is outspoken against the COVID vaccine, and (despite having an exemption from provincial authorities) was detained by Australian immigration in 2022 for not being vaccinated.
|-
|Wilt Chamberlain
|The most statistically dominant basketball player of all time, although Chamberlain is rightly regarded by the media as a legend, they generally do not regard him as perhaps the greatest player ever as they do with [[Michael Jordan]], [[LeBron James]], or [[Kareem Abdul-Jabbar]] even though he deserves to be regarded at such a level.
|As a lifelong Republican, he was one of the [[Essay:Greatest Conservative Sports Stars|Greatest Conservative Sports Stars]]. Also criticized for his statement that he "slept with 10,000 women" (even he admitted that was hyperbole, and later admitted his actions were wrong).
|-
|Tim Duncan
|Led an average team to five NBA Championships — more than double the number won by Lebron James. Duncan also won these championships without supercoach Phil Jackson, who coached the Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant teams to victory. Yet the media give Duncan relatively little attention.
|Played in a small market (San Antonio, though one of the ten largest cities in the US, is barely a top 50 media market due to the lack of large suburbs surrounding the city itself)
|-
|Frank Lampard
|One of England's best soccer players ever, he has won eight major trophies with his former club Chelsea, was named runner-up for the Ballon d'Or in 2005, meaning that he was officially the second-best player in the world for that year, and has scored over 200 goals in his career; all these achievements far outshine those of his countrymen Steven Gerrard and David Beckham, but the latter two often receive more adulation from the media
|He is a conservative;<ref>https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/di-canio-top-10-political-1798130</ref> also though soccer is popular worldwide it has a limited United States following
|-
|[[Stan Musial]]
|Seven batting titles, three championships, an amazing home run-to-strikeout ratio and overall statistics superior to nearly everyone; Ty Cobb said Musial "is the closest to being perfect in the game today" in 1952, Willie Mays said that "Musial is the best all around hitter," and yet he has always been underpublicized by the media. An acclaimed sportswriter even wrote a book trying to understand why "Stan Musial is Largely Forgotten," as the title of a book review put it.<ref>http://kenbraiterman.com/book-asks-why-stan-musial-is-largely-forgotten/</ref> ESPN once called him one of the five best players of all-time [http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/8861019/stan-musial-was-one-greatest-players-ever] and Bill James ranked him as #7 all-time.<ref>[http://baseballguru.com/egartman/analysisericgartman01.html]</ref> Stan Musial even hit .342 lifetime against lefty ace [[Sandy Koufax]].
|A devout [[Catholic]] who played in the [[conservative]] Midwest, in a small market (however, the St. Louis Cardinals have a national following due to being the westernmost franchise outside of the California teams for two decades)
|-
|Reggie White
|The best defensive football player ever, he twice won the AP Defensive Player of the Year award, set an NFL career record at the time of 198 sacks, appeared 13 consecutive times in the Pro Bowl, and won a Super Bowl championship<ref>http://www.cheatsheet.com/sports/10-greatest-nfl-players-of-all-%c2%adtime.html/?a=viewall#ixzz3hCcexfvH</ref>
|Spoke out against the [[homosexual agenda]] and was hated by [[homosexual]] activists for it; however, during his career he led his team to only one Super Bowl victory (and that team, the [[Green Bay Packers]], plays in the smallest media market of any North American professional sports franchise), but he was inducted into both the College and NFL Halls of Fame
|-
|Eddie Murray
|One of the very few baseball superstars to exceed 500 home runs and 3,000 base hits
|Well-known for his disdain of the sports media (often refusing to speak to them), and a sneaker company dared to run him for president in a humorous campaign against [[liberal]] [[Bill Clinton]] in 1996<ref>https://darrengarnick.wordpress.com/2008/11/03/eddie-murray/</ref>
|-
|Jim Plunkett
|Omitted from the Hall of Fame despite winning the [[Heisman Trophy]] and then leading the mediocre Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders to two spectacular Super Bowl victories; Joe Namath won only one Super Bowl and yet he's in the Hall of Fame, and so is Troy Aikman, despite mediocre statistics with phenomenal teams
|A Mexican American who exemplified the [[American Dream]] and never asked for sympathy despite being raised by two blind parents, whom he praised profusely; also the Raiders have a long history of undisciplined on-field play, and their clothing is associated with gang culture.
|-
|Bill Laimbeer
|Omitted from the Hall of Fame despite being only the 19th player to surpass both 10,000 points and rebounds.<ref>http://www.notinhalloffame.com/basketball/1714-28-bill-laimbeer</ref> Laimbeer was the finest long-range shooting center in history,<ref>[https://bleacherreport.com/articles/960281-the-10-best-three-point-shooting-big-men-in-nba-history/page/6 Ranked #6 as the best three-point shooter among big players in history, which includes forwards]</ref> and led an average team to two championships in a highly competitive era.
|A [[conservative]] who defeated both Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson and won two NBA championships (including sweeping Magic's Lakers in four games), Laimbeer was demonized by the [[liberal media]]; also, the Pistons (and Laimbeer specifically) were known and criticized for their aggressive (and sometimes dirty) style of play
|-
|Pat McCormick
|Won double gold medals in women's diving at back-to-back Olympics, she won her second pair of gold medals five months after she gave birth
|Childbirth is not something [[liberal]]s want to promote; also outside the Olympics diving is not generally followed by sports fans
|-
|Tora Berger
|"Almost complete dominance of the 2013 World Championships, winning four gold medals from six available" in the biathlon<ref>https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/the-rundown/world-greatest-female-athletes-113854074.html</ref>
|The biathlon includes the use of guns, which liberals do not like; also another sport not generally followed outside the Olympics
|-
|[[Dwight Howard]]
|Three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year, five-time All-NBA First Team, led the league in rebounds five times and blocks twice, won the NBA slam dunk contest in 2008, and led the underdog Orlando Magic to the NBA Finals in 2009. Will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, but has often been unjustly blamed for his team's failures by the media, particularly between 2012 and 2015, even though he had been dealing with many injuries at the time
|He is a deeply religious Christian (though he has five children by five different women, never marrying any of them); furthermore his injuries have limited his ability and he has never won an NBA title. Also has had conflicts with team ownership (demanding to be traded on several occasions), coaches (had several run ins with Jeff Van Gundy during their tenure in Orlando) and teammates (including James Harden, who generally gets along with most teammates)
|-
|Zach Johnson
|Two stunning championships in the golf majors, including defeating [[Tiger Woods]] in his prime and winning the British Open in 2014, plus 12 overall PGA victories with a 4-1 record in playoffs
|Reads [[Bible]] verses during tournaments
|-
|Herschel Walker
|He is the only football player to gain more than 4,000 yards in rushing, pass receiving, and returning kickoffs, and yet is not in the Hall of Fame.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/3abl0b/is_it_jus_me_or_is_herschel_walker_almost_hall_of/</ref> His overall yardage gained is better than numerous players who are in the Hall of Fame.
|Outspoken [[Christian]] who also dared to compete with the NFL, and who also praised [[Donald Trump]]. Also the NFL does not recognize statistics from rival leagues (except for the AFL with which it formally merged) such as the USFL (for which Walker played).<ref>The decision not to recognize statistics from rival leagues is not unique to the NFL, the NBA does not recognize statistics from the ABA though it later absorbed four of its teams (were it to do so, Julius Erving would be recognized as a member of the 30,000 point club).</ref> Furthermore has had mental health issues, which liberals use against him.
|-
|[[Bubba Watson]]
|Ten PGA titles including 2 Masters victories—more than any other golfer except Rory McIlroy in the same time span—and yet the media downplay his achievements and ostracize him
|He has criticized [[homosexuality]]. Also his two Masters wins are his only "major" titles.<ref>In professional golf, the "majors" are the Masters, the US Open, the Open (called the British Open to distinguish it from the US Open) and the PGA Championship.</ref>
|-
|Serena Williams
|The finest women's athlete of all time and likely to break the record for the most grand slam victories in women's tennis despite playing in a highly competitive era, but the media are stingy in giving her full credit.
|A devout [[Christian]] (though she had a child out of wedlock, but she did marry the father); also, other than Serena (and sister Venus) there are few American players in the elite levels of tennis.
|-
|Robert Lewandowski
|Has scored over 200 career goals, has won nine major trophies, was the Bundesliga's top goalscorer twice, placed fourth in the 2015 Ballon d'Or rankings, and holds the record for the shortest amount of time taken to score five goals in a game, but often doesn't receive the credit he deserves
|A staunch Catholic; also soccer has a minimal following in the US
|-
|Calvin Johnson
|Has the record for most receiving yards, which was formerly by Jerry Rice (who later admitted he cheated),<ref>http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/cris-carter-if-jerry-rice-used-stickum-he-cheated/,</ref> & also set the NFL records for consecutive 100-yard games (8) and consecutive games with 10 or more receptions (4)<ref>http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/12/22/calvin-johnson-breaks-nfl-record-for-consecutive-100-yard-games/</ref>
|Is a [[Christian]] (probably why he retired early too); also during his career Detroit usually failed to make the playoffs
|-
|[[Ben Zobrist]]
|2016 [[World Series]] MVP, first player on the [[Chicago Cubs]] ever to win the title. Mainstream media ignored the fact that he has a very strong Christian [[faith]], and that he used his fame as MVP to boldly proclaim the gospel.
|As mentioned, he is a very strong Christian; furthermore he played most of his career with the Tampa Bay Rays, one of the MLB's poorest-performing franchises
|-
|Holly Holm
|Was undefeated in boxing and was even inducted into the New Mexico Boxing Hall of Fame in June 2013. She won the WBAN Fighter of the Year for 2007 and 2010. She holds a world title in Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts. She also gave bully (see [[Overrated Sports Stars]]) Ronda Rousey her first loss. That match was often considered one of the biggest upsets in MMA history.<ref>http://www.si.com/more-sports/photos/2013/06/24/greatest-upsets-sports-history</ref>
|A devout [[Christian]] who was even given the nickname "The Preacher's Daughter." She also supported Republican [[Donald Trump]] for U.S. president.<ref>https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/celebrities-who-support-donald-trump/16/</ref> Also though MMA is growing in popularity, the women's side has few well-known names, and the two best-known ones have their own issues (Rousey left MMA for WWE, while Christine "Cyborg" Santos has had several suspensions for doping)
|-
|Aubrey Huff
|World Series champion in 2010 and 2012 and was in the top 25 of his league's MVP vote three times.<ref>Derespina, Cody (January 30, 2017). [https://www.foxnews.com/sports/2017/01/30/mlb-world-series-champ-to-protesters-get-job.html MLB World Series champ to protesters: Get a job]. ''Fox News''. Retrieved February 1, 2017.</ref>
|A devout Christian and a strong Trump supporter who criticized those who protested and caused chaos because of President Trump's refugee ban order.<ref>Moons, Michelle (February 1, 2017). [https://www.breitbart.com/california/2017/02/01/huff-apologizes-rant-not-supporting-president-trump/ Baseball’s Huff Apologizes for Rant, Not for Supporting Trump]. ''Breitbart''. Retrieved February 1, 2017.</ref>
|-
|Kyrie Irving
|Seven-time All-Star and two-time All-NBA selection who has perhaps the best ball-handling skills in basketball history. Clinched the Cleveland Cavaliers' first championship in franchise history in 2016 with a legendary title-winning three-pointer to seal a remarkable upset against the Golden State Warriors. Should be a first-ballot Hall of Fame inductee upon retirement, but often unfairly receives more criticism than plaudits
|Though not a conservative in any way, he has always been highly critical and distrustful of the [[liberal]] [[mainstream media]]. Also holds to many conspiracy theories such as a flat earth.

Aschlafly: Underrated Sports Star Kylian Mbappe -- "Everything that has happened to me has been a gift from God" -- will become the all-time World Cup career scorer, and scored 2 for France in its opener.

Genesis, Chapter 9

Aschlafly — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:27:23 GMT

Aschlafly:

<center><big>'''The First Book of Moses, called Genesis</big> Chapter 9'''</center>
<center>''Blood and murder forbidden. Noah's drunkeness, and the mocking by Ham. The blessings on Shem and Japheth, and the curse on Canaan.''</center>
''See verses 12-16 below for the real original [[rainbow]], not the made-up [[Pride month]] one''.

* "[[Feminism]] is doomed to failure because it is based on an attempt to repeal and restructure [[human nature]]."- [[Phyllis Schlafly]]

*“There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations - these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendors." - [[C.S. Lewis]], [[Christian apologetics|Christian apologist]] and [[Ex-atheists|ex-atheist]]

*"Worldwide, the march of [[religion]] can probably only be reversed by a renewed, self-aware [[secularism]]. Today, it appears [[Decline of the atheist movement|exhausted and lacking in confidence]]... Secularism's greatest triumphs owe less to [[science]] than to popular social movements like nationalism, [[socialism]] and 1960s [[Anarchism|anarchist]]-[[liberalism]]. Ironically, secularism's [[decline of atheism|demographic deficit]] means that it will probably only succeed in the twenty-first century if it can create a secular form of 'religious' enthusiasm." - [[Eric Kaufmann]]

Road to Emmaus

Aschlafly — Sun, 14 Jun 2026 16:44:15 GMT

Aschlafly:

[[File:Rembrandt Supper at Emmaus.jpg|300px|right|thumb|[[Rembrandt]]'s painting of the ''Supper at Emmaus'' (1648).]]
The '''Road to Emmaus''' (pronounced "eh-MAY-uhs") is one of the most beautiful and piercing accounts in all of [[the Gospels]]. As set forth at [[Luke 17-24 (Translated)#24:13|Luke 24:13-35]], it describes an encounter by two disciples who had been close to [[Jesus]], only one of whom is identified (Cleopas), with an ostensible stranger who meets and joins them during the walk. They walked together towards Emmaus, a distance of about 7 miles,<ref>The Greek says 60 stadia [https://biblehub.com/interlinear/luke/24-13.htm Interlinear Greek], and a stadion (singular) was 600 feet, which varied in length depending on the region's average foot size. At one-tenth of a mile for 60 stadia, the total distance would have been 6 rather than 7 miles.</ref> perhaps until nightfall made it less safe to proceed further. It is likely that the [[Epistle to the Hebrews]] documents what the stranger said to the two disciples during this walk,<ref>See [[Mystery:Did Jesus Write the Epistle to the Hebrews?]]</ref> as Jesus would want his sermon repeated to others and the disciples could have been [[scribe]]s intentionally selected by Jesus for this sermon. {{Bibleref|Hebrews|13|2}} foreshadows [[Jesus]]'s revelation at the end, by advising to be hospitable to strangers as they may be unrecognized [[angel]]s.<ref>"Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." ([[ESV]])</ref>

The incident is so compelling that there have been many paintings of it, particularly from the [[Renaissance]]. [[Rembrandt]], for example, completed two paintings and two etchings of the incident, including his ''Supper at Emmaus'' in 1648 which is now at the [[Louvre]]. Caravaggio (1571-1610) also did multiple paintings of this incident, including his painting ''Supper at Emmaus'' in 1601.<ref>https://www.artway.eu/content.php?id=1154&lang=en&action=show</ref>

The encounter captures perfectly the startling sensation of surprise awareness that is so difficult to describe. This account is considered the most famous of the post-[[Resurrection]] encounters with [[Jesus]].

This encounter suggests that Jesus's nails in the [[Crucifixion]] were through his wrists rather than hands -- as the [[Gospels]] may be translated from the ambigious [[Greek]] -- because the disciples would have noticed and remarked on nail wounds had they been in the hands as thus highly visible. The [[Shroud of Turin]] shows the wounds through the wrists.

== Awareness ==

This account is one of several places in the [[Bible]] which describes a physical effect caused by awareness: here, the inability to see [[Jesus]] once the observers became aware of his presence. Other passages where awareness had a physical impact is the walking on water by Peter (he sunk when he became aware of the challenges) and the calming of the storm by Jesus (it calmed when he observed it).

The tasting of the water that had become wine, a miracle in the [[Gospel of John]], also utilizes awareness to attain a physical result. Similarly, [[the Fall]] in the [[Garden of Eden]] in the [[Book of Genesis]] is about the awareness of good and [[evil]] (See also: [[Good and evil]]).

Nearly 2000 years later, modern [[quantum mechanics]] proved a similar astounding physical impact of human awareness.

== Translating Luke 24:31 ==

The pivotal verse is imprecisely translated. English Bible translations are evenly divided on whether to translate as "vanish" or "disappear" the departure of Jesus from the two disciples. A third, less common but perhaps more precise, approach is to translate [[Luke 17-24 (Translated)#24:31|Luke 24:31]] as "became unseen."<ref>https://www.biblehub.com/luke/24-31.htm</ref>

The Greek word ἄφαντος, which is used only once in the entire Bible, means "invisible". It implies that [[Jesus]] did not leave but became hidden. That is consistent with modern [[quantum mechanics]] and awareness, as Jesus reverted to a different physical state upon awareness of the observers. Hence the clause is properly translated as "This opened their eyes, and they recognized Him; whereupon his presence became hidden."

== Walking ability ==
The ''HarperCollins Bible Dictionary'' states, “Anyone familiar with Palestinian Bedouin or Arabs in a pre-automotive culture would not doubt the [[disciples]]’ ability to walk forty miles in a day.”<ref>https://library.biblicalarchaeology.org/article/emmaus-where-christ-appeared/?_gl=1*1e0yb69*_gcl_au*MTAwMDU4NDAxMC4xNzQ5ODM0MDU3*_ga*MTc3MTEzMzYxMy4xNzQ5ODM0MDU4*_ga_7MSGCYKLB3*czE3NTIyNTIzMTkkbzQkZzAkdDE3NTIyNTIzMTkkajYwJGwwJGgxNDQyNzg5MTI1</ref>
== Old Testament ==

This encounter has similarities to a passage in the [[Book of Genesis]] when [[Jacob]] wrestles, unwittingly, with [[Yahweh]] who took on a human form.

== Additional paintings ==
Additional paintings of this encounter were by:
*Altobello Melone (circa 1516-17), in the National Gallery's main collection.
*Duccio di Broninsegna (13th century), portraying the arrival at Emmaus when the two welcome Jesus to stay over
*Caravaggio (1601), currently displayed in [[London]].

This encounter suggests that Jesus's nails in the [[Crucifixion]] were through his wrists rather than hands -- as the [[Gospels]] may be translated from the ambigious [[Greek]] -- because the disciples would have noticed and remarked on nail wounds had they been in the hands as thus highly visible. The [[Shroud of Turin]] shows the wounds through the wrists.

== Awareness ==

This account is one of several places in the [[Bible]] which describes a physical effect caused by awareness: here, the inability to see [[Jesus]] once the observers became aware of his presence. Other passages where awareness had a physical impact is the walking on water by Peter (he sunk when he became aware of the challenges) and the calming of the storm by Jesus (it calmed when he observed it).

The tasting of the water that had become wine, a miracle in the [[Gospel of John]], also utilizes awareness to attain a physical result. Similarly, [[the Fall]] in the [[Garden of Eden]] in the [[Book of Genesis]] is about the awareness of good and [[evil]] (See also: [[Good and evil]]).

Nearly 2000 years later, modern [[quantum mechanics]] proved a similar astounding physical impact of human awareness.

== Translating Luke 24:31 ==

The pivotal verse is imprecisely translated. English Bible translations are evenly divided on whether to translate as "vanish" or "disappear" the departure of Jesus from the two disciples. A third, less common but perhaps more precise, approach is to translate [[Luke 17-24 (Translated)#24:31|Luke 24:31]] as "became unseen."<ref>https://www.biblehub.com/luke/24-31.htm</ref>

The Greek word ἄφαντος, which is used only once in the entire Bible, means "invisible". It implies that [[Jesus]] did not leave but became hidden. That is consistent with modern [[quantum mechanics]] and awareness, as Jesus reverted to a different physical state upon awareness of the observers. Hence the clause is properly translated as "This opened their eyes, and they recognized Him; whereupon his presence became hidden."

== Walking ability ==
The ''HarperCollins Bible Dictionary'' states, “Anyone familiar with Palestinian Bedouin or Arabs in a pre-automotive culture would not doubt the [[disciples]]’ ability to walk forty miles in a day.”<ref>https://library.biblicalarchaeology.org/article/emmaus-where-christ-appeared/?_gl=1*1e0yb69*_gcl_au*MTAwMDU4NDAxMC4xNzQ5ODM0MDU3*_ga*MTc3MTEzMzYxMy4xNzQ5ODM0MDU4*_ga_7MSGCYKLB3*czE3NTIyNTIzMTkkbzQkZzAkdDE3NTIyNTIzMTkkajYwJGwwJGgxNDQyNzg5MTI1</ref>

Road to Emmaus

The '''Road to Emmaus''' (pronounced "eh-MAY-uhs") is one of the most beautiful and piercing accounts in all of [[the Gospels]]. As set forth at [[Luke 17-24 (Translated)#24:13|Luke 24:13-35]], it describes an encounter by two disciples who had been close to [[Jesus]], only one of whom is identified (Cleopas). An ostensible stranger meets and joins them during the walk. They walked together towards Emmaus, a distance of about 7 miles,<ref>The Greek says 60 stadia [https://biblehub.com/interlinear/luke/24-13.htm Interlinear Greek], and a stadion (singular) was 600 feet, which varied in length depending on the region's average foot size.

Generation Z

Aschlafly — Sun, 14 Jun 2026 16:26:25 GMT

Aschlafly: improved

[[File:49faa42f-9ed9-4529-9a06-fe74dcf29d75 659x455.jpg|right|300px|thumb|]]
'''Generation Z''' (or '''Gen Z''' for short or '''Zoomers''') is the demographic generation born in 1997 to 2012, which is after the [[Millennial]]s but before [[Generation Alpha]]. '''''This generation -- particularly its men -- has a surging interest in the [[Bible]] greater than prior generations'''''. There are roughly 71 million members of Gen Z, which totals about 21% of the population. About half are white and a quarter are Hispanic.

According to [[Christianity Today]], the oldest members of this generation were born in 1995,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2020/march/nones-decline-generation-z-millennial-faith-research.html|title=The Possible Decline of the Nones Isn’t a Boost for Evangelicals|date=March 3, 2020|accessdate=March 9, 2020|author=Ryan P. Burger|publisher=Christianity Today}}</ref> which would make 30 its oldest age as of 2025. Demographers typically use starting birth years that range from the mid-1990s (sometimes 1997) to the early 2000s.
{{cquote|Gen Z men are now more likely to attend [[church]] than Gen Z women. The [[New York Times]] reported that among young [[Christians]], men are staying in church (at the same time, many women are leaving).<ref>https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2025/04/20/easter-church-christian-gen-z-men/83138618007/</ref>}}

A major aspect of this generation is its widespread usage of the Internet from a young age. In addition, the [[9/11]] disaster and the [[Great Recession]] has given this generation a lack of [[confidence]] in the current political system and public institutions.

American electorate is undergoing a tidal shift. Up to 1.4-1.7M [[Silent Generation]] voters & 1.0-1.2M [[Boomer]] voters die each year. At the same time up to 2.6M Gen Z voters are joining voter rolls annually. Neither [[Democrat]]s or [[Republican]]s have a hold on Gen Z.

As of 2025 Boomers were ~26.5% of the electorate, down from 30%+ in 2016 & 28%+ in 2020=>22% 2030. Silent Generation (the most conservative, traditional American variant, voting generation) will fall from ~9% today to ~5% of the electorate by 2030.

[[GenX]] will see their share of voter roll fall from ~24% today to 22.5% in 2030. [[Millennial]]s & Gen Z will take over the electorate by 2030 making up ~60% of voters by that time. Millennials will have increased ~27.5% to 35% by 2030. [[Zoomer]] voters will double from ~12.5% to 25%.

Gen Z is said to be the most [[conservative]] American generation since [[WWII]],<ref>[https://www.cnsnews.com/commentary/eric-metaxas/next-generation-americans-gen-z-may-be-most-conservative-wwii The Next Generation of Americans (Gen Z) May Be the Most Conservative Since WWII], ''CNS News'', March 16, 2017</ref> although not all members of that generation are so; in fact, the more liberal-minded members of Gen Z behave more like Millennials themselves and share many Millennial traits, particularly their entitled mentality, their [[narcissism]], their "know-it-all" attitudes (despite their age, lack of life/real world experience and general cluelessness and naïvety), their immaturity and [[childishness]], their support for [[Communist]] [[Democrat]] [[Bernie Sanders]] (despite him being far older than they are) and their haughty disdain and disrespect for previous generations who have achieved far more in their lives than most Millennials and many GenZers have to date.<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/03/horrible-millennials-and-gen-zers-calling-coronavirus-boomer-remover/ Horrible: Millennials And Gen Z’ers Are Calling Coronavirus “Boomer Remover”] at the Gateway Pundit</ref>
