The Historical Case for Jesus' Birth on September 11, 3 B.C.

Some believe that Jesus was born on September 11, 3 B.C. This belief is based on the idea that Jesus was born between 6:18 & 7:39 PM on the Hebrew day that corresponds to the sunset on September 11,3 B.C.

Seasonal and Historical Evidence

When considering the environment of the time, it is noted that Jesus was born in the fall. For instance the rooms were full why? This occurred because of the time of year. The biblical feast days would have had everyone visiting and celebrating, which explains the lack of available space.

Agricultural Indicators

Biological factors also support this timeline. Also lambs are only born one time of year. Now we over breed them but then it was only in the cooler months, aligning with the late-year timing.
