… the day of His birth was important to Heaven!
There are several angelic visitations associated with the conception and birth of Jesus. Mary has a visit ---- and she says, “Let it be done according to your word”. Joseph has a visit where an angel tells him not to expose Mary as an adulteress because the child she bears is conceived of the Holy Spirit. The shepherds of Bethlehem got a major visitation of heavenly hosts on the night of the Messiah’s birth that shattered the night sky and sent them off towards the town to find Him. The Eastern Mystics were lead by a “star”, probably a particular configuration of stars and planets, to travel hundreds or thousands of miles to find the “King of the Jews”.
There are several prophetic dreams associated with the birth of Jesus.
The Eastern Mystic were told in a dream to NOT return to Herod, but to go directly home after finding Jesus in Bethlehem. And Joseph was told in a dream to escape to Egypt from Herod’s scourge of infanticide when he learned of the birth of Jesus. So there is certainly a lot of supernatural intervention concerning this historical event, but we are not given the exact day.
