Jesus was born most probably on September 29. Or within the week, we know from the Bible that the Holiday being talked about among the Jews, comes at this time and not in December.

The “immaculate conception” myth was the result of some immaculate deception on the part of some of the Biblical translators, who developed the “virgin birth” idea by misinterpreting a prophecy made by the prophet Isaiah, who lived some 700 years before Jesus was born. The prophecy is found in Isaiah 7:14, which reads: “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name “Immanuel.” The name “Immanuel” means “God be with us.” As the Bible abounds with occult knowledge, this verse is interpreted esoterically as follows:

The only virgin that can bear a son and still remain a virgin is VIRGO, the sign that gives birth to a sun every year between August 23rd and September 23rd...

Jesus was born on September 8, in the year 7 BC, having been conceived around the time of the Winter Solstice in 8 BC. He was born under the astrological sign Virgo, which is another cosmic verification of the Biblical expression, “born of a virgin.”

Some historians say that Tammuz is Nimrod from the Bible...

If so, I think that this was a case of mistransliteration by the Bible translators.Tammuz is the 10th month of the ecclesiastical year and the 4th month of the civil year on the Hebrew calendar. It is a summer month of 29 days.

Originally, Tammuz was the Babylonian god of vegetation, and the month was established in honor of the eponymous god, which is a corrupt form of the Akkadian farming-god Dumuzi, the consort of Ishtar and the parallel of Adonis in the Greek pantheon. Beginning with the summer solstice, it was a time of mourning in ancient times: the Babylonians marked the decline in daylight hours with a six-day "funeral" for the god (see Ezekiel 8:14).

Tammuz was an ancient nature deity worshipped in Babylonia. A god of agriculture and flocks, he personified the creative powers of spring. He was loved by the fertility goddess Ishtar, who, according to one legend, was so grief-stricken at his death that she contrived to enter the underworld to get him back. According to another legend, she killed him and later restored him to life. These legends and his festival, which took place in the early Spring, commemorating the yearly death and rebirth of vegetation, corresponded to the festivals of the Phoenician and Greek Adonis and of the Phrygian Attis...

Historically, the Greek god Adonis was called “Tammuz” by the ancient Israelites of Abyssinia (present-day Ethiopia). His celebration took place ceremonially in a cave-dwelling in the town of Bethlehem, which was regarded as his birthplace! Tammuz was esteemed as “good bread” for the soul. The word “Bethlehem” means “house of bread,” or "house of Tammuz," and his name still designates the 4th month of the Hebraic calendar...

Tammuz is astronomically attuned to the time of the Summer Solstice, when the Sun reaches its greatest northern declination, and is astrologically attuned to the sign Cancer, which rules the African continent. The "sign" of the month was called "Sartan," "Cancer" or "The Crab," because this constellation - which is observed at this time of year - has the appearance of a crab. Also, the season is summer, and the hot weather of summer causes crabs to multiply in the water. Crabs pinch and hurt, and this month was basically a time in which the Jewish people were hurt (which is why it was referred to as the "month of mourning")...

The Egyptians also worshiped Tammuz as the setting sun. His name means literally “our Lord,” as does the Greek “Adonis,” and the ancient Israelites wrote many Psalms for Tammuz, as part of their liturgical services were offered in his name. One such example remains in the Old Testament as the 110th Psalm...
