Another great piece of our evidence for Jesus is that he entered his 30th year when Tiberius was in the 15th year of his reign. This further cements the 3 B.C.E birth of Jesus since we know that Tiberius became the emperor in 14 AD.

Another birth dating piece is the rotation of the Priesthood. We know that the first course of the Priests served in the Temple at the time of the destruction in the second week of the 5th month in 70 AD.
We know that the 8th course served during the day of Atonement when Zacharias was serving in the Temple in 4 B.C.E.
Luk 1:5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
We simply plot the courses through the years backwards from 70 AD and see that the 8th course would be serving during the 2nd week of the 7th month in 4 B.C.E.

Another piece we have to remember is the Sabbatical years. The year of the destruction of the Temple in 530 AD was a sabbatical year. And since Daniels 70 weeks yield a 7th year in the final year, then we know that the year that Jesus is Crucified and Resurrected is a Sabbatical year. And that is what we have from 530 AD to 31 AD.

It's good that you say Jesus was in his 30th year, because they did indeed count ages ordinally at the time. However, Tiberius actually began to reign in 12 BCE (with Augustus). And this also places Jesus' first year in 4 BCE.
Your reckoning of Tiberius' reign from the start of his independent reign in 14 BCE would place Jesus' 30th year in 28 CE, which would place his first year in 2 BCE, which is not only incorrect, but also not consistent with your own nonsense.

No. We don't. That's just superstitious nonsense that you're asserting as a premise to fit your conclusion.
Please go away.

For those that are following along. Let's remember there is no year 0.
Since Jesus was born in 3 B.C.E during the Feast of Lights, this means the following:
Jesus was in His 3rd year in 1 B.C.E
Jesus was in His 4th year in 1 AD
Jesus was in His 10th year in 7 AD
Jesus was in His 20th year in 17 AD
Jesus was in His 30th year in 27 AD
Jesus was in His 33rd year when He was crucified and rose from the Dead in 31 AD being 32 years of Age.
Those times above are at the time of the Feast of Lights (9th month 25th day).

So the member of God's Church are represented in the Menorah. They are the children of light. Or the Illuminated ones as opposed to those that have the spirit of opposition.
Clement and Philo of Alexandria and Josephus among others report that the seven candlesticks of the Menorah are correlated to the 7 wandering stars (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn). These wandering stars will begin to come into Virgo in Sept of 2040 during the time of the Fall Feast days and the 121st Jubilee. What a wonderful sign showing that our Lord is Coming to His Church.

It is only a tradition that this was on the day of atonement. It is not indicated in Luke (and the spurious story is only found in Luke), which was written after the temple was destroyed.
We simply plot the courses through the years backwards from 70 AD and see that the 8th course would be serving during the 2nd week of the 7th month in 4 B.C.E
Okay, I'll play... Day of atonement in 4 BCE was 2 October. There were 24 courses. Assuming 8th priest course on that date, by 30 August 70 CE (3804 weeks later) that gives us course... 21. Oh dear.
What about 5 BCE... Day of atonement in 5 BCE was 13 October. Assuming 8th course on that date, on 30 August (3855 weeks later) it brings us to... course 23.
So we can only conclude that the tradition about the day of atonement is just wrong.

I think your Shift key might be getting stuck. 🙄

It's a pity these end-times nutters can't come up with something happening a bit sooner. 😒

The only people following along are laughing at you. A good number of those are wondering why I waste my time on you, but it's not really for you, it's for others who might otherwise fall for your nonsense.

Good grief. Thanks for that.
Since Jesus was born in 3 B.C.E
No.
during the Feast of Lights
Citation needed. Or to put it another way... no.
Jesus was in His 30th year in 27 AD
By your reckoning, (incorrectly) placing his birthday around Christmas (🙄), he would only be in his '30th year' for a few days at the end of 27 CE, with most of it in 28 CE.
Jesus was in His 33rd year when He was crucified
Probably, which would be 30 CE. Though we don't actually know exactly when he died, beyond contradictory stories written much later.
and rose from the Dead
No evidence that that actually happened.
in 31 AD.
No.
being 32 years of Age.
That's the only thing you got right in this post. (Specifically, about 32.5 years old at the time of his death based on the traditional time of year for his death - but about 32.25 by your nonsense - but we don't really know exactly when he actually died.) It does show that you recognise they counted ages ordinally compared to the way we typically count ages now. So that's something I guess.
Also, what is with your need to capitalise random words?

Of course, with admirable patience and fortitude Jeffro, you are answering JW Poster as though we can put any weight on the Gospel Stories , or the supposed dates for "Jesus' " birth and life based upon them.
The Gospel Stories are mere Myth and Fable, so of course are no authority or basis for any calculations.
The Jesus of the Gospels is totally fictitious, as is over 90% of what we find in the Bible.
