Note: I believe this particular Blog Post is very interesting and important for every follower of Jesus Christ to hear. I do want to let the reader of this Post know where I’m getting this information. Now, without getting into a long drawn out story of how this work came about, I’ll just simply state, that the various works within this volume were gathered together from the Vatican Library in Italy, and put together over a period of years, by Scholars within the United States of American beginning in the year 1856, and … Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1887, by Rev. W.D. Mahan, in the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D.C. I’m herein quoting from an unabridged edition of that work, Special contents copyright © 1975, entitled …

The Archko Volume

or, the Archeological Writings of the Sanhedrim

and Talmuds of the Jews.

First, let’s go to Luke’s account and take a look at some verses with which we are all familiar. Then, we’ll look at another description of the same event from the perspective of the shepherds themselves. So, let’s start with:

Luke 2:1-21 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, everyone into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 

And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. 

And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

Now, let’s look into what the Shepherds stated themselves. It’s perfectly in line with Biblical Scripture, and we’ll be able to see some additional details, that are herein revealed, and so beautiful to add to your knowledge!

CHAPTER IV

JONATHAN’S INTERVIEW WITH THE BETHLEHEM SHEPHERDS –

LETTER OF MELKER, PRIEST OF THE SYNAGOGUE AT BETHLEHEM.

Sanhedrim, 88 B.  By R. Jose.  Order No. 2.

Jonathan, son of Heziel, questions the shepherds and others at Bethlehem in regard to the strange circumstances reported to have occurred there, and reports to this court.

“Jonathan to the Masters of Israel, Servants of the True God: In obedience to your order, I met with two men, who said they were shepherds, and were watching their flocks near Bethlehem. They told me that while attending to their sheep, the night being cold and chilly, some of them had made fires to warm themselves, and some of them had laid down and were asleep; that were awakened by those who were keeping watch with the questions: ‘What does all this mean? Behold, how light it is;’ that when they were aroused it was light as day. But they knew it was not daylight, for it was only the third watch. All at once the air seemed to be filled with human voices, saying, ‘Glory!  Glory!  Glory! to the most high God!’ and ‘Happy are thou, Bethlehem, for God hath fulfilled His promise to the fathers; for in thy chambers is born the King that shall rule in righteousness.’ Their shoutings would rise up in the heavens, and then would sink down in mellow strains, and roll along at the foot of the mountains, and die away in the most soft and musical manner they had ever heard; then it would begin again high up in the heavens, in the very vaults of the sky, and descend in sweet and melodious strains, so that they could not refrain from shouting and weeping at the same time. The light would seem to burst forth high up in the heavens, and then descend in softer rays and light up the hills and valleys, making everything more visible than the light of the sun, though it was not so brilliant, but clearer, like the brightest moon. I asked them how they felt – if they were not afraid; they said at first they were; but after awhile it seemed to calm their spirits, and so fill their hearts with love and tranquility that they felt more like giving thanks than anything else. They said it was around the whole city, and some of the people were almost scared to death. Some said the world was on fire; some said the gods were coming down to destroy them; others said a star had fallen; until Melker the priest came out shouting and clapping his hands, seeming to be frantic with joy. The people came crowding around him, and he told them that it was the sign that God was coming to fulfil His promise made to their father Abraham…” 

May each of you be truly blessed in celebrating our Lord Jesus Christ always, and especially during this special and joyous season of the year!! Our Love and hugs to each of you,
