David Hamshire

Christianity did not appear from nowhere. It remains deeply rooted in the Hebrew traditions which it inherited. This book contains a series of studies based on just a few of the Hebrew origins of the Christian faith. Christians can only really understand their faith if they respect their faith's Hebrew background. The Jewish scripture provides the key to understanding the Christian faith.

David Hamshire takes the reader on a journey of discovery to find that the date of Jesus' birth is revealed in Scripture from Creation to the Feasts of Israel. David Hamshire explores the Genesis account of the days of Creation, well-known verses of Scripture and the annual Feasts of Israel to establish a biblical basis for suggesting the Day of Atonement - one of the most important days in the Jewish calendar - as the correct day and date for Jesus' birth.

The mention of 'Israel' usually provokes a reaction of some sort. In today's world, the reaction is often negative. Many regarding the nation is an obstacle to peace in the Middle East. I believe that such reactions are promoted by biased reports coming out of an anti-Semitic news station in the Middle East. Such propaganda is being uncritically supported and broadcast by national media throughout the Western world.

The seven pillars of wisdom in Proverbs 9:1-6 deal with preparing a meal. Seven Pillars of Wisdom -1. Wisdom has selected a life to be slain. -2. She has chosen the wine. -3. Wisdom's table has been furnished. -4. Her servants announce from the highest places of the city: ""Whoever is simple, let him turn in here "" -5. Her servants invite others to attend, including, ""Him who lacks understanding."" -6. She commands: ""Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed."" -7. Wisdom's finale is: ""Forsake foolishness and live, and go in the way of understanding."" These seven pillars have a vivid similarity to the Bible's first account of Creation and the seven festivals of the Lord (the Jewish people's seven annual festivals.
