Ain't I a little early on this? Not really. The bible tells us directly when he was born and by extrapolation when he died.
For the latter, I use 3 criteria:
I have come to a very precise year of his birth and death based on those 3 criteria, but this is mainly about his birth date. When is that?
First, let's understand that Revelation 12:5 is definitely speaking of the birth of Christ. I have checked 4 sources (not that I had to) but from liberal ecumenical to more strict Church of God denominations they all agree this is talking about Christ's birth. So, does it say when that was? It sure does.
There's astronomy, a conjunct of two words astro (star or heavenly body) and gnosis – knowledge. This is “star knowledge” like the famous Dr. Carl Sagan, and is the science of understanding space.
Then there's astrology, from astro (star) logos (words) or communication in the stars. Besides horoscopes, this astro-logos is a message in the stars to us from God. It's this “astro-logos” I'm interested in and practice.
So, what does Revelation 12 say? At the time of the birth of Christ, the woman was clothed with the sun. OK, that's cryptic for an astronomical position, so what are the zodiac signs the sun passes through? We know them, even though we want to deny it. Only ONE is a woman, and that's Virgo. Then it says the moon was under her feet, i.e. the next constellation, Libra. The moon conjunction with the sun (new moon) then passes to Libra in other words.
The heaven's like giant clock hands, tell us of the “times and seasons” acceptable to God and any other time is not. The sun at Christ's time was in Virgo around mid-September, and this configuration only occurs at the Feast of Trumpets, the feasts of the Lord being types and shadows of things to come. This is at New Moon. He died at Full moon 414.5 lunar cycles later.
So there you have it, in case you were wondering. It's all there in your bibles.
For the latter, I use 3 criteria:
- Determine when he was born based on Revelation 12
- That he lived for 12240 days. The precise figure is from a more esoteric source, but in fact, many theologians claim he lived 33.5 years (i.e. started his ministry at 30, and his ministry lasted 3.5 years which is strongly supported by the bible.) This is 414.5 lunar months.
- He had to die in a year such that the day he died and arose again was 3 days later. If we take a reasonable historical span from 26AD-36AD, only certain years allow for that.
