THE GREATEST BIRTH IN THE UNIVERSE!
SO WE ARE HERE ONCE MORE VERY CLOSE TO DECEMBER 25 AND THE CHRISTIAN WORLD REMEMBERING THE BIRTH OF JESUS THE CHRIST.
YES THERE REALLY WAS A BABE IN A MANGER, BORN IN BETHLEHEM, NEAR JERUSALEM. JEWISH HISTORIANS OF THE FIRST CENTURY A.D. RECORD THAT THERE DID LIVE A MAN CALLED, AS WE GIVE HIS NAME - JESUS CHRIST; OR YESHUAH MESSIAH.
JUST ABOUT ALL BIBLE COMMENTARIES WILL TELL YOU JESUS WAS NOT BORN ANYWHERE NEAR DECEMBER 25; MORE LIKELY AROUND THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES - SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER.
THIS BABE, BORN OF A VIRGIN GIRL, DID TAKE PLACE.
ANOTHER FACT NOT COMMONLY KNOWN IS THIS FEMALE MARY, COULD HAVE BEEN AROUND 14/15 WHEN BRINGING FORTH THE CHRIST CHILD INTO THE WORLD. YOU SEE BACK IN THOSE JEWISH TIMES, IT WAS THE COMMON PRACTICE TO MARRY WHEN YOUNG. IN FACT FOR A JEWISH BOY TO BE 18 YEARS OLD AND NOT MARRIED WAS A FAMILY DISGRACE.
SOME RECENT MOVIES ON THE BIRTH AND LIFE OF CHRIST, HAVE SHOWN MARY TO BE VERY YOUNG LOOKING.... INDEED 14, 15, OR 16.
MARY WAS WITHOUT QUESTION A DEVOTED RELIGIOUS YOUNG LADY, AND WAS NO DOUBT WELL AND PROPERLY EDUCATED IN HER UPBRINGING TO BE THE BEST MOTHER SHE COULD BE, HUMANLY SPEAKING. SO INDEED AS IT IS WRITTEN "...FOR YOU HAVE FOUND FAVOR WITH GOD...." [LUKE 1:30]. OH WHAT FAVOR INDEED!
THE ANGEL WENT ON TO TELL MARY, "HE WILL BE GREAT, AND WILL BE CALLED THE SON OF THE HIGHEST; AND THE LORD GOD WILL GIVE UNTO HIM THE THRONE OF HIS FATHER DAVID; AND HE SHALL REIGN OVER THE HOUSE OF JACOB [13 TRIBES OF ISRAEL] FOREVER, AND OF HIS KINGDOM THERE WILL BE NO END" [LUKE 1:32-33].
IF THE FIRST PART LITERALLY HAPPENED...BEING BORN...BEING CALLED THE SON OF THE HIGHEST, THEN THE REST OF THE PROPHECY WILL ALSO COME TO PASS LITERALLY. WHICH MEANS THE GREAT THRONE OF DAVID IS STILL ON THIS EARTH, FOR JESUS WILL ONE DAY INHERIT THAT THRONE. YOU DO NOT INHERIT SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT EXIST. YES DAVID'S THRONE IS STILL ON EARTH, AS PROVED IN OTHER STUDIES ON MY WEBSITE.
THE TERNAL GOD HAD A PLAN FROM WAY W AY BACK, EVEN BEFORE THE FOUNDATIONS OF THIS EARTH WAS LAYED!
GOD WAS GOING TO CREATE PHYSICAL HUMAN BEINGS IN HIS IMAGE; BASIC FORM AND SHAPE; BASIC MIND TO THINK AND REASON; TO DECIDE TO DO GOOD OR EVIL; TO DECIDE TO FOLLOW GOD'S WAY OF LIFE, OR NOT TO FOLLOW IT - FREE AGENCY!
THE ONE WE NOW CALL THE FATHER ALSO KNEW AHEAD OF TIME, THAT HUMAN KIND WOULD SIN, WOULD THINK, SPEAK, AND ACT, CONTRARILY TO THE WILL AND WAY OF THE ETERNAL GOD. AND THEY SURELY DID AS WE READ IN THE FIRST CHAPTERS OF GENESIS; PAUL ALSO SAYING IN THE BOOK OF ROMANS THAT, ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD!
EVERY SINGLE PERSON LIVING TO THE AGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY [SEE DEUT. 1:39] AND BEYOND, HAS SINNED! ONLY THE CHRIST HAS NEVER EVER SINNED, NOT EVEN ONE SIN!
GOD HAD DECIDED BEFORE THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH THAT SIN WOULD MEAN DEATH - ETERNAL DEATH - ROMANS 6: 23!
THE FATHER HAD PREDETERMINED THAT DOING ALL KINDS OF "GOOD WORKS" - "CHARITABLE ARMS GIVING" - PRAYING 10 TIMES A DAY, FASTING ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK, PRACTICING TEMPLE RITUALS, SACRIFICING ANIMALS, SPILLING THEIR BLOOD, WOULD NEVER SAVE A SINGLE SOUL. YOU COULD DO ALL THAT AND PRACTICE IT ALL AS A WAY OF LIFE, BUT IT WOULD NOT SAVE ONE SINGLE PERSON!
THE ETERNAL FATHER HAD DECIDED BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH, THAT SINS WOULD AND COULD ONLY BE WASHED AWAY, THROUGH THE SHED BLOOD OF A GOD BEING - A MEMBER OF THE VERY GODHEAD; NO CREATED ANGEL OF ANY RANK COULD DO IT; A GOD BEING WOULD HAVE TO BE WILLING TO COME TO EARTH AS A HUMAN DIVINE PERSON.
THIS PERSON WOULD BE GOD IN THE FLESH. HE WOULD BE BOTH DIVINE AND HUMAN!
YES, THE GOD BEING, WHO WAS THE SECOND MEMBER OF THE GODHEAD, WHO WOULD BE WILLING TO COME, STEP TO ONE SIDE FROM HIS BEING GOD IN THE GODHEAD, AND COME TO BE GOD IN THE FLESH.
THIS BEING WE TODAY CALL JESUS THE CHRIST.
IT WAS DECIDED BEFORE THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH....HERE IT IS:
"FORASMUCH AS YOU KNOW YOU WERE NOT REDEEMED WITH CORRUPTIBLE THINGS, AS SILVER OR GOLD......BUT WITH THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST, AS A LAMB WITHOUT BLEMISH AND WITHOUT SPOT. WHO TRULY WAS FOREORDAINED BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, BUT WAS MANIFEST IN THESE LAST TIMES FOR YOU! [1 PETER 1:18-20].
SO NOW, DID PEOPLE SHED THE BLOOD OF ANIMALS BEFORE JESUS CAME TO SHED HIS? YES THEY DID! DID THAT SAVE THEM? NOPE IT DID NOT! DID DOING THOSE SACRIFICES BEFORE CHRIST CAME, SOMEHOW DISHONOR
THE SACRIFICE OF CHRIST THAT WAS A SURE SET, WRITTEN IN STONE, EVENT YET TO COME? OF COURSE NOT! FOR GOD EVEN HAD MOSES INSTITUTE A WHOLE SYSTEM OF TEMPLE ANIMAL SACRIFICES UNDER AN OLD COVENANT WITH ISRAEL.
THE BLOOD SPILT IN ANIMAL SACRIFICES SURE GOT ONE THING THROUGH TO ANCIENT ISRAEL [AT TIMES IT SEEMED NOTHING GOT THROUGH TO THEM] - IT WOULD TAKE THE SPILLING OF BLOOD FROM A MEMBER OF THE GODHEAD, TO WASH AWAY SINS. THERE WAS A REMEMBRANCE OF SINS IN THOSE PHYSICAL SACRIFICES....A TEACHING LESSON; AND THE LESSON WAS….THAT THE BLOOD OF ANIMALS CAN NOT POSSIBLY TAKE AWAY SINS [HEW. 10: 3, 4].
IT WAS ALWAYS, FROM BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH, SINS COULD ONLY BE WASHED AWAY, FOR YOU TO HAVE THEM NO LONGER ON YOUR ACCOUNT RECORD, BY THE GOD BEING COMING AS GOD IN THE FLESH, AND SHEDDING HIS OWN BLOOD AND LIFE..... TAKING OUR PENALTY OF SINS, UPON HIS OWN LIFE, SHEDDING HIS BLOOD TO DEATH; THEN DYING.....DEAD AS DEAD COULD BE FOR 3 DAYS AND 3 NIGHTS.
YES, A GOD-HEAD BEING LITERALLY DID NOT EXIST FOR 72 HOURS!
THINK ON THAT! A GOD BEING WILLING TO NOT EXIST FOR 3 DAYS AND 3 NIGHTS; HAVING TO HAVE COMPLETE FAITH THAT THE GOD BEING WE TODAY CALL “FATHER” WOULD RAISE HIM BACK TO LIFE…. BUT IMMORTAL LIFE, AND GIVE HIM BACK ALL THAT HE WAS AND HAD BEFORE COMING AS A HUMAN-DIVINE PERSON.
WE ARE TOLD THE GOD-BEING OF THE GODHEAD WAS WILLING TO SET ASIDE WHAT HE HAD WITH THE FATHER, NOT GRASPING ON TO IT, AND JUST NEVER BEING WILLING TO LET IT GO FROM HIM. WE READ:
“WHO, ALTHOUGH BEING ESSENTIALLY ONE WITH GOD AND IN THE FORM OF GOD [POSSESSING THE FULNESS OF THE ATTRIBUTES WHICH MAKE GOD GOD], DID NOT THINK THIS EQUALITY WITH GOD WAS A THING TO BE EAGERLY GRASPED OR RETAINED. BUT STRIPPED HIMSELF [OF ALL PRIVILEGES AND RIGHTFUL DIGNITY], SO AS TO ASSUME THE GUISE OF A SERVANT [SLAVE], IN THAT HE BECAME LIKE MEN AND WAS BORN A HUMAN BEING. AND AFTER HE HAD APPEARED IN HUMAN FORM, HE ABASED AND HUMBLED HIMSELF [STILL FURTHER] AND CARRIED HIS OBEDIENCE TO THE EXTREME OF DEATH, EVEN THE DEATH OF THE CROSS!” [PHILIPPIANS 2: 6-8 - AMPLIFIED BIBLE].
ARE YOU FULLY UNDERSTANDING ALL THIS YOU ARE READING?
A GOD BEING WAS WILLING TO STEP AWAY FROM THE VERY GODHEAD; ONE SECOND THERE IN FULL GLORY, THE NEXT SECOND NOT THERE IN HEAVEN WITH THE FATHER. AS THE FATHER GOD TOOK ALL THAT THERE WAS IN THE OTHER GOD BEING OF THE GODHEAD, AND IN SOME MIRACULOUS WAY, PUT ALL THAT THAT BEING WAS INTO A TINY SPERM; PUT THAT GOD BEING SPERM WITH THE POWER OF HIS HOLY SPIRIT, INTO THE BODY OF THIS YOUNG MAIDEN CALLED MARY; UNITED THAT DIVINE SPERM WITH HER HUMAN EGG…… AND YOU HAD A DIVINE-HUMAN BABY ON ITS WAY TO BEING BORN, IN A LOWLY MANGER IN SOME LOWLY CATTLE BARN, IN A LOWLY LITTLE TOWN CALLED BETHLEHEM NEAR JERUSALEM. WHO WOULD THEN GROW TO BE THE MAN CALLED JESUS CHRIST - EMMANUEL - GOD WITH US!
TRULY THE GREATEST BIRTH THAT EVER WAS IN THE UNIVERSE!
ONLY THE LIFE AND DEATH OF A SINLESS GOD-HUMAN, HIS BLOOD SHED, COULD HAVE THE POWER TO TAKE EVERY SIN EVER COMMITTED BY ALL HUMANS THAT EVER EXISTED, AND WITH THAT BLOOD WASH ALL THOSE SINS AWAY!
IT’S KINDA LIKE YOU PUT ALL THE SINS OF EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO EVER EXISTED AND WILL EXIST, ONTO THE ALTAR IN THE TEMPLE, IN HEAVEN, THEN TOOK THE SACRIFICIAL BLOOD OF CHRIST JESUS, POURED IT ON TOP OF ALL THOSE HEAPED UP SINS, AND SEE THE BLOOD WASH AWAY THOSE SINS AND BE LEFT WITH A PURE HEAVENLY ALTAR!
THE POINT OF HUMAN HISTORY, THE FOCAL POINT, IS THE SACRIFICE OF THE DIVINE-HUMAN MAN, THE VERY SON OF GOD - HIS DEATH ON THE CALVARY CROSS FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD!
THOSE HUMANS BEFORE THE CROSS, LOOKED IN FAITH TO THE YET COMING CROSS, TO THE YET TO COME DEATH OF GOD, SHEDDING HIS BLOOD FOR THEIR SINS.
THOSE HUMANS AFTER THE CROSS, LOOK BACK IN FAITH TO THE DEATH OF GOD, SHEDDING HIS BLOOD ON THE CROSS FOR THEIR SINS.
SALVATION, BEING SAVED INTO GLORIFIED ETERNAL LIFE, HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE WAY, FROM THE BEGINNING, NAY FROM BEFORE THE BEGINNING, IT WAS DETERMINED SALVATION FOR ANY HUMAN WOULD ONLY BE THROUGH ONE WAY…… JESUS THE CHRIST, THROUGH A MEMBER OF THE VERY GODHEAD. FOR IT IS WRITTEN:
“NEITHER IS THERE SALVATION IN ANY OTHER; FOR THERE IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED” [ACT 4: 12].
SO FOR ALL HUMANS IT WAS DECIDED BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH, THAT SALVATION FOR HUMANS WOULD BE…… “FOR BY GRACE ARE YOU SAVED, THROUGH FAITH, AND NOT OF YOURSELVES….” [EPHESIANS 2: 8].
NO WONDER THEN THAT AT THE COMING OF GOD IN THE FLESH, THE COMING OF A BABE WRAPPED IN SWADDLING CLOTHES LYING IN A MANGER, THERE WOULD BE “….SHEPHERDS ABIDING IN THE FIELD, KEEPING WATCH OVER THEIR FLOCK BY NIGHT. AND LO, AN ANGEL OF THE LORD CAME UPON THEM, AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD SHON 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 SAVIOR, WHICH IS CHRIST THE LORD. AND THIS SHALL BE A SIGN UNTO YOU: YOU 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 PEASE, GOOD WILL TOWARDS MEN” [LUKE 1: 8-14].
FOR THOSE WHO WILL ACCEPT JESUS AS PERSONAL SAVIOR, THERE IS PEACE OF HEART AND MIND; IT IS THE BEST GOOD WILL GOD CAN GIVE TO ANYONE OF THE HUMAN RACE.
I PRAY YOU WILL FIND THIS PEACE AND THIS WONDERFUL GOOD WILL, THAT THE ETERNAL FATHER GOD IN HEAVEN WANTS YOU TO HAVE; FOR EVEN BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH, HIS SALVATION PLAN FOR MANKIND, WAS FOR YOU TO HAVE HIS GOOD WILL AND BE IN HIS FAMILY KINGDOM.
