Either what JESUS said was false, and you can dismiss the information, OR, if he was telling the truth, there IS a HEAVEN or Hell waiting for us. God LOVED US all so much, Jesus suffered the eternal fire for us...
1. The Bible is Divinely inspired. It touches on an astounding remarkable amount evidence of History ,Science, Mathematics AND Medicine to the finest detail. It also has embedded Numeral Mathematics within the words, as well as THOUSANDS of Bible codes threaded within and throughout the BIBLE. (The Bible Codes and Mathematics only work in the original word of the Bible, not the modern translations) How can you possibly write a book (of 40 authors) that reads on the surface fluently, and has THOUSANDS of Modern Bible Codes, AND on top of that Multiple places of Mathematics present?
2. Jesus had to be born through a particular family line as it was prophecied in the Old Testiment. Jesus would have NO CONTROL over that. They have calculated the odds of that actually happening - 10 To the 2nd Power (1 in 10,000) Jesus would be a Descendant of David
3.Prophecy Tells US GOD Picked the City of Bethlehem for The Messiah to be Born in. Jesus would have No CONTROL over this. They calculated the odds of this - 10 to 5th Power (1 Chance in 100,000) Jesus would be born in Bethlehem
4.The Uniqueness of God is shown in his consistency. In everything he does, he wants to lead people TO HIM. For 1000 years followers of the holy Bible Scriptures came to Bethlehem and celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles. In Leviticus 23 it tells us those people, as well as many Chrstians today are to celebrate this festival in humble ways such as living in tents remembering what the deliverance of Gods people out of slavery in Egypt, in the exodus. AND ASTONISHINGLY, Faithful believers knew that their Messiah would be born DURING this festival in Bethlehem. They knew someday their messiah would be born during this festival. AND HE WAS!! It is amazing that Gods Festivals all SIGNIFY important events in history that show himself. Jesus will COME BACK on Feast of Trumpets some day. So we watch for that day at the Mount of Olives.

They did? When was this?

The seven feasts of Israel, as found in Leviticus 23, provide a prophetic preview of the vital future events relating to Christ, the Church and the Jews. The seven feasts are important to comprehend so the believer can have a basic understanding of God’s calendar.
Passover, the Feast of Redemption, Leviticus 23.5. A lamb without spot or blemish was to be sacrificed and his blood shed for deliverance and salvation. It was by divine design from the beginning of time our Lord Jesus was to be sacrificed on Passover Day. Passover represents our salvation in that The Lamb of God, John 1.36, takes away the sin of the world.
Feast of Unleavened Bread begins on the night after Passover, Leviticus 23.6. God commanded the Jews to eat unleavened bread during the week following Passover, symbolizing a holy walk with the Lord. The unleavened bread of the New Testament is the body of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is called the Bread of Life, John 6.35 and His body was buried during this feast.
Feast of Firstfruits, Leviticus 23.10-11, is held on the Sunday following Unleavened Bread. In it, Israel would acknowledge Him as the One Who gave them the fertility of the land. They were to bring the firstfruits of the early crops to the priest in the Temple to be waved before the Lord on their behalf. We not only celebrate the resurrection of our Lord on this feast day, but also the resurrection of the Church, see 1 Corinthians 15.23.

Part 2
Pentecost, connoting fifty days, was to occur fifty days after Firstfruits, see Leviticus 23.15-17 and involved taking two wave loaves baked with leaven and of equal weight. Since they are baked with leaven, which symbolizes sin, they represent sinful men. God was predicting the Church would be comprised of two equal parts, Jews and Gentiles. When the Holy Spirit came on Pentecost, there was a harvest of 3,000 souls, Acts 2.41, only a small token of the great harvest to come in the rapture of the Church.
Feast of Trumpets, Leviticus 23.23: Trumpets were to be blown at the commencement of the feast, which finds its exact parallel and fulfillment in the rapture of the Church, see 1 Corinthians 15.51-52 and 1 Thessalonians 4.16-17, when that great trumpet sounds, the graves will give up those who died in faith and believers who are alive will rise from the earth. All the believers will be mysteriously changed and outfitted for immortality.
Day of Atonement was a solemn holy day when the high priest of Israel entered into the Holy of Holies and made a sacrifice on his behalf as well as for all the sins of Israel, see Leviticus 23.27. Jesus is the final atonement for all sins once and forever, see Hebrews 9 and 10. The Day of Atonement will be fulfilled in a wonderful way when the Lord returns at His Second Coming, at which time Israel will finally accept Jesus’ atonement.
Feast of Tabernacles celebrates that God wanted to provide shelter for the Israelites in the wilderness, see Leviticus 23.39-43. Each year, devout Jews build little shelters outside their houses in which to worship God. The Lord’s great tabernacle will exist in Jerusalem during the Millennial Kingdom. The entire world will come every year to appear before the King and worship Him.

Tanachreader, you missed my point. Meranda wrote that Jews would come to
Bethlehem to celebrate these festivals. And I asked when this was.
Hi again Yisroel,
I put that there to show how a Jewish believer see's the Festivals.
Isa:60:3: And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
Mic:5:2: But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
Bethlehem is called the house of bread. Jesus said He was the bread of life.
David revealed it here. THE PLACE FOR THE LORD! The birthplace of the future Messiah:
Psalms:132:5: Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.Psalms:132:6: Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
Messiah a descendant of David:
Psalms:132:11: The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
WHO IS THE ENEMY OF JESUS? The shepherds in Jerusalem! When they behold Him Israel's anointed (the Messiah), they will be full of shame as David wrote.
Psalms:132:17: There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
Psalms:132:18: His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
Now about Jew and Gentile becoming one people before God. Note that God loves His creation which includes Gentile's.
Ru:4:11: And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem:
Ruth the gentile and Boaz the Hebrew, two did build the house of Israel!
JEW AND GENTILE!
To me the Feast of Tabernacles represents the Holy place where Jesus was born, a temporary house where the Lord was. AGAIN "Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob. Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood."
The shepherds(real shepherds not the Sanhedren) were invited by the Host of Heaven to visit the born child, the Christ.
THE FAMOUS PLACE BETHLEMEM known amoungst humanity.

Actually, this Feast will be the only one celebrated in the Kingdom.
The others will have been fulfilled.
Jesus was born on 10 NISSAN, he was the PASCHAL LAMB who takes away the sins of the world, so PASSOVER (PESACH) was fulfilled. Jesus was crucified on Wednesday, 14 NISSAN. (erev); at age 30; Preparation, and raised from the dead after 3 evenings and 3 mornings (after Sabbath), on Sunday, the 1st day of the week.
JESUS LOVES YOU!

Feast of Firstfruits, Leviticus 23.10-11, is held on the Sunday following Unleavened Bread. In it, Israel would acknowledge Him as the One Who gave them the fertility of the land. They were to bring the firstfruits of the early crops to the priest in the Temple to be waved before the Lord on their behalf. We not only celebrate the resurrection of our Lord on this feast day, but also the resurrection of the Church.
See 1 Corinthians 15.23.

The sheafs waved are without leaven; leaven represents sin. Those in Christ are resurrected without sin as they have been born-again.
The life we inherit from Adam is finite due to his sin. The life of the second Adam (JESUS) is infinite, as He is without sin.
So the curse of death is circumvented.
This is why JESUS is the ONLY way.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
[JOHN 3:16]
JESUS LOVES YOU!
