Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year
I
wanted to say hi and Merry Christmas to all those that had occasion
to read my blog this year. Christmas is a special time of year
reminding us of the birth, life and sacrifice of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
From
the book of Matthew chapter 1 verses 20-22-
“...while
he thought on these things, behold the angel of the Lord appeared
unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to
take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is
of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shall
save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might
be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet...”
Many
citizens of the United States today have fallen away from a true
faith in the Lord and God (as there are three persons of one God) and
are assaulted by commercialized powers of atheism through a plethora
of media. That crowding makes it sometimes difficult to consider the
Lord and God in an ideal, contemplative way. The headlong rush for
sensation and sales that drive society without too much though even
for using rational economic political philosophy sometimes is
supported by commercial franchise priesthoods unable to address
contemporary empirical challenges effectively.
Even
so God has pre-determined the fate of mankind and in the end someday
when the age of the gentiles is fulfilled, the last day will arrive
for humanity even if it has settled the galaxies of the Universe over
a billion years of time.
I
added a couple of remarks in parenthesis within this quote from the
King James version… In the book of Mark chapter 13 verse 30 through
36 Jesus said;
“Verily
I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these
things be fulfilled” (and they were in the 1st
century apocalypse) “Heaven and Earth may pass away; but my words
shall not pass away. But of that day and that hour knoweth no man,
no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the
father.
Take ye heed, watch and pray; for ye know
not what the time is.
For the Son of man is as a man taking a far
journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and
to every man his work and commanded the porter to watch.
Watch ye therefore; for ye know not when
the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the
cockcrowing, or in the morning: lest coming suddenly he find you
sleeping.
