WE ARE INSUFFIENT TO LIFT THE WEIGHT OF THIS WORLD'S PROBLEMS APART FROM CHRIST

Dear friends, we all have our different upbringings; realities, and perceptions of this world, which are directly affected by our experiences and established by our truths. These truths are legitimized in our minds from what is familiar and from the observations we have made in relation to our families, friends, and the world. We grip onto our beliefs like a powerlifter grips a barbell when performing a lift. A powerlifter uses techniques that are comfortable and work for him. His form and strength have been well established from countless hours of training in the gym and out. He lives his life according to what he knows works for him and makes that his reality. We all do this when faced with different challenges, the weight we have to lift represents our opposition in life. Whether it is financial, relational, spiritual, or in any other aspect. The techniques we use and how we train to lift them depend on the standard in which we were taught. These efforts are challenging and ultimately futile when we train and perform in accordance with how the world thinks (1 JOHN 2:15-17). Dear friends, we are not meant to do the heavy lifting of this life, our precious Jesus is! Our lives do not belong to us but belong to the LORD (PSALM 139:3-16; Gal. 2:20). He knows how we should approach the unliftable weight of our problems and fears, and through His Word; Jesus tells us exactly how to train for and approach the barbells of life (PROV. 3:5-6; MATT. 11:28-30). When we abide by our own truths and not by GOD’S ABSOLUTE TRUTHS, our labors and efforts are vain, insufficient, and meager. (ECCLESIASTES 2:17-26; JOHN. 15:1-7; GAL. 2:20).

 Dear friends, we are not meant to do the heavy lifting, Our precious Jesus is!

We can be deceived by our own efforts into thinking that we are all-sufficient in what has moved the weight and got us through the tough times. When we do this and do not put God’s rightful Name on it we are actually adding more weight to our bar. The problem may appear as solved but is just a  temporary fix. We are just creating more trials for ourselves down the line because we believe we can do things apart from God (GENESIS 11:1-9; JOHN 15:5, ROM. 1:18-32; PHIL. 4:13). It is so easy today to be self-righteous and in fact, it is encouraged by the world. Everything in this world apart from God is set against God (1 JOHN 2:15-17). Satan is the ruler of this world; he has his hand in EVERYTHING. The subtle things that may seem harmless and enticing are really meant to destroy us (1 PETER 5:8, 1 JOHN 5:19). 

Jesus' love for us is ETERNAL and wants nothing but the best for us. The best is only found in Jesus and that is why our realities need to become His ETERNAL REALITY.

So my friends, how does one discern whether their efforts abide by God’s righteous absolutes? The simple answer is, that we don't but the cross of Jesus does (JOHN 3:16; 19:30; ROM. 10:2-4)! Everything in this world and everything we do has to answer to Christ. God puts us in situations that we cannot face on our own that will bring us to Him. Jesus' love for us is ETERNAL and wants nothing but the best for us. The best is only found in Jesus and that is why our realities need to become His ETERNAL REALITY (1 COR. 2:2). So, no matter what background you come from, or ideologies you have been taught, all of that is foolishness apart from Jesus Christ (PHIL. 3:7-10). The ultimate victory is found in Christ and our worldly problems are washed away by His shed blood (PSALM 51:7; 1 JOHN 4:10). My dear friends, may we seek to stop trying to lift the weight of the problems in our lives and give them to Christ to outwork for His ETERNAL glory (MATTHEW 11;28-30).

A Few Words and a ETERNALLY BIG Picture and Image!

 The ETERNAL BIG picture!

The ONLY solution to the depraved and ever-growing lawlessness of the world in which we are living in today is to be found in the Person of Jesus Christ (John 3:16-17, Acts 4:12, Eph. 2:1-14). Dear friends, an image is worth a thousand words and as you look at this picture of what Jesus' cross does for all those who believe, is it not ETERNALLY POWERFUL to gaze upon in great wonder!! Jesus is the ONLY ONE who can rescue our fallen unregenerate humanity from the ETERNAL end result of sin and lawlessness (John 3:16-17, Acts 16:28-31, Rev. 20:10-15; 21;22:1-5;11). Dear friends, do you know Him who loved you and gave himself for you? if you know Jesus not, may you place your trust and hope in Him today. You will never be the same!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

The Treasure of the Magi - Song and Video

 

1. The Treasure of the Magi

(Matt. 2:1-12; 6:21; 1 Cor. 1:18-31; Col. 2:2-3)

 

Our hearts within us

Are longing for more than gold:

Treasures and riches

Which only Messiah holds.

His presence we seek,

Humbly and meek.

Through many days and nights,

We travel on to Him;

His star leads the way,

And our hearts brightly burn within.

And finally we see: 

The young Christ and King.

This One, this child:

The King of Israel;

And gifts we bring 

With joy exceedingly!

Gold for our God and King,

Frankincense to worship Thee;

Myrrh for our Lamb,

Who shall die and then rise for we.

And our hearts we bring

And lay at His feet.

With joy and praise

We glorify His Name:

Whose arm and strength

Shall bring salvation’s grace;

And now we see

The ETERNAL Son and King!

Now our hearts have found

The treasure far more than gold!

Merry Christmas From The Ignorant Fishermen!

Beloved, at Christmas we are reminded of the ETERNAL message of; “That God so love the world - John 3:16-17” and all that we ever would and could  need - as fallen humanity - is found IN the lovely Person of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world (Rom. 5:12-19, 10:4, 1 Cor. 1:30).

But what a great many miss at Christmas is the precious promises of the Lord Jesus Christ that are yet to be fulfilled!

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this (Isaiah 9:6-7)”

Our future is found in the uncompromising promises of Almighty God and in His Son the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Cor.1:30).

As children of Almighty God (John 1:12, Rom. 8:14,16, Gal. 3:26, 1 John 3:1,2), we can REJOICE not only that our transgressions against Almighty God's  ETERNAL absolutes of RIGHTEOUSNESS have been pardoned and removed (1 John 2:2), but also in the future blessings and promises that are yet to come! The of redemption of our vile bodies (1 Cor. 1:30, 15:42-58), the coming Kingdom of Heaven (Zech. 14:9-21, Matt. 25:34) and ETERNITY future (Rev. 21-22).
.
My dearly beloved of the Lord, this Christmas as we reflect on the absolute wonderment of the incarnation of God the Son (John 1:14, 1 Tim. 3:16, Heb. 10:1-14), may we also greatly REJOICE knowing that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! My beloved our future has only just begun!!

We here at the Ignorant Fishermen Blog wish each one of you ALL of Almighty God's HIGHEST and BEST (God's perfect will) and a blessed biblical Christmas!

The Kingdom of Heaven truly is at hand!

Is There Room in Your Heart for Jesus and His RIGHTEOUSNESS this Christmas Season? 1 John 4:10

Our dear friends, this Christmas season many will celebrate Christmas, but sadly many who celebrate the Christmas season do not personally know the Lord Jesus in Spirit, ETERNAL TRUTH and RIGHTEOUSNESS as the Bible so simply and clearly teaches (1 John 5:12-13). Dear friend, no need to be offended in such an opening statement. Either we do or we do not (John 3:16-17). It is really is just that simple. The personal question we need to ask each one of us is; "Do we really want to know the Lord Jesus as the Bible so clearly and simply teaches about Him in RIGHTEOUSNESS?"

Almighty God our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator, SO LOVED YOU that He sent forth His beloved ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Son to be born in time; that He might DIE a propitiatory death for you and RISE AGAIN for you that you may live FOREVER!

My dear friend, again; do you personally know the Lord Jesus; the world's ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Savior this Christmas season? Almighty God our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator, SO LOVED YOU that He sent forth His beloved ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Son to be born in time; that He might DIE a propitiatory death for you and RISE AGAIN for you that you may live FOREVER (John 1:12; 3:16-17; 11:25-26; 1 Cor. 15:2-4; 1 Peter 1:18-25; 2:21-24; 1 John 4:10; 5:12-13; Rev. 1:5)? 

No wonder ALL of Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS angels rejoiced with EXCEEDINGLY GREAT JOY at the birth of Jesus; for they PERFECTLY and ETERNALLY knew what Almighty God was doing on behalf of Adam's fallen race in sending His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Son!

Oh my dear friend! I do not know how to say anything more wonderful to any than that this Christmas season! No wonder ALL of Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS angels rejoiced with EXCEEDINGLY GREAT JOY at the birth of Jesus; for they PERFECTLY and ETERNALLY knew what Almighty God was doing on behalf of Adam's fallen race in sending His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Son (Isa. 9:6-7; Luke 2:8-15; Rom. 5:12-21; Gal. 1:4; 4:4-5; Phil. 4:4; 1 John 4:10; Rev. 1:5) The Lord Jesus desires to be born in your heart to out work HIS-Story in you! He desires to be a burning light in you to a dark and dying world for His ETERNAL glory (John 1:12; 3:3-7, Eph. 2:1-14; 2 Cor. 5:17-21)! Such an ETERNAL calling of ETERNAL purpose, FULLFILLMENT and GLORY for ALL who will receive Him and follow Him (Matt. 4:18-20; Acts 20:24; Rom. 8:18; 1 Cor. 2:9; 2 Cor. 4:17-18; 5:17-21; Gal. 2:20; Eph. 1; 2:1-14; Rev. 22:1-5)!

As the Lord Jesus came the first time; He is INDEED coming the second time! All events are EXPONENTIAL today and all signs say; He is coming! What a wonderful time and season it is to receive into your heart the Lord Jesus as your personal RIGHTEOUS Savior! May it be so! Merry Christmas!

What must I do to be saved this Christmas!

Is the ETERNAL Christmas Message of Hope Shining in your Heart this Year?

Demonic influence, deception, decay and darkness EXPONENTIALLY saturates this present world of ours, but the ETERNAL Christmas message is an ETERNAL GLORIOUS LIGHT and REALITY shining forth out of the hearts of those who personally know Jesus in RIGHTEOUSNESS (Matt. 5:14-16, John 17:17; 1 Thess. 5:4-5)! This Christmas we as His blood brought children need to be looking into Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS mirror and Word and examining ourselves in His RIGHTEOUS Presence to see if we are indeed His light houses shining forth to a lost dark and dying world (Matt. 5:13-16; John 17:17; Gal. 2:20; 1 Cor. 10:31; 2 Cor. 5:17-21 13:5,1 Thess. 5:1-5; Rev. 3:8)! The Christmas message of ETERNAL HOPE should indeed burn in our hearts so that through us Almighty God might indeed reach all people with the ETERNAL GLORIOUS GOOD NEWS that an ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Savior was born for ALL people (Matt. 1:21; Luke 2:2:25-31; John 3:16-17; 1 John 4:10)! 

 The Christmas message of ETERNAL HOPE should indeed burn in our hearts so that through us Almighty God might indeed reach all people with the ETERNAL GLORIOUS GOOD NEWS that an ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Savior was born for ALL people!

ALL of the wonderful ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS promises for us in Jesus are YES and AMEN (Psalm 138:2, John 14:2; 2 Cor. 1:20, 2 Peter 1:4; Rev. 22:13)! Beloved, may we maximize ALL of these precious ETERNAL promises for Almighty God's glory till He comes! Burn bright my beloved with Christ's ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS LIGHT! Maranatha and God speed for Almighty God's glory (Eph. 3:20-21; Rev. 3:8)!

Anna's Hope - A Song of Testimony of Biblical Anna, Who was Waiting to See Her Salvation!

This song is the personal testimony of Anna the prophetess, the daughter of Penhanuel, of the tribe of Aser, of the people of Israel (Luke 2:36-38)! It is in the time of great Roman oppression and Anna has experienced and observed the despair of her people and the mighty oppressive power of Rome and her armies for many years. Notice in the lyrics of this song that Almighty God; her Lord and Savior; is ALWAYS observing her and taking care of her! She is ALWAYS in His ETERNAL presence and watchful eye. He always is hearing her prayers and sees her sincere fasting for her people Israel, as she awaits Messiah her Salvation to come! Almighty God loves her with an ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS LOVE and after many years of waiting for her Propitiation and Lamb (Isa. 53); her joy is finally fulfilled when she sees her Savior and Redemption! She then makes haste to let all know that Almighty God's day of redemption has now come just as Almighty God had promised and spoke about for many years (Gen. 3:15; 12:3; 18:18; 22:18-19; Num. 24:17, Isa. 7:14; 9:6; 11:1, Jer. 23:5; Micah 5:2)!  Almighty God always fulfills His Word and promises and they ALWAYS are trustworthy and sound for the child of God to find great hope and consolation in this fallen world (Mal. 3:6, John 14:1-2, 2 Cor. 1:20, Heb. 6:10; 13:8, Rev. 4-5).

"And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem". Luke 2:36-38

Lyrics to, "Anna's Hope" 

The Lord observing, in His PERFECT love, His beloved child Anna
Anna waits for the sun to arise, as she reflects over her aged life
Anna's joy and great hope in such days, is in the promises that the Lord made

Anna fasts and prays to the Lord to personally see her Salvation and for her people Israel
My soul groans within my heart, to see your Salvation my God
With delight do I fast and I pray, that thy people would walk in thy ways
In all of my years, when my meat has been my tears, You have always been my Hope

The Lord sees, hears and answers Anna
I Am with thee my dear child, I Am with thee My dear child (repeats)
Anna fasts and prays
My dear Lord hear Ye my prayers, as I await Thy RIGHTEOUS One

The Lord and Anna have the same mind, heart, and desire in prayer and fellowship
After many long years, I have waited Lord, to behold Thy Promise One
O blind fools and perishing, behold your Lamb and King, God's Day of Salvation has come!

Anna's Joy is fulfilled in seeing Her Salvation the baby Jesus!
Now my joy is complete my God, for I've seen my Lamb and my God

A Merry Maranatha and a Merry Christmas to You!

Beloved, I love Christmas and all the wondrous Bible verses of hope! Just before the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ despair was an epidemic and hopelessness super abounding! For those who trusted in the Lord in such oppressive days, their hope was a burning fire within their hearts that kept them fresh and vibrate! Anna and Simeon and the Wise men of old were great witnesses of hope in such dark days (Matt. 2:12; Luke 2:25-40)!

Anna and Simeon and the Wise men of old were great witnesses of hope in such dark days!

Today is no different! Our nation is at the EXPONENTIAL crossroads and what will be in the next six weeks has millions of Americans scared, uncertain and horrified! The great hope today for the redeemed of Jesus is that Jesus is coming again! He is first coming for His bride at the Rapture; the redeemed in RIGHTEOUSNESS (John 14:3; Rom. 10:2-4; Gal. 1:4; Eph. 2:1-14, Col. 1:26-27; Titus 2:12-14; 1 John 4:10); then to rule the world at the end of the Great Tribulation (Dan. 2:43-45; 7:13-14; Matt. 24; 1 Thess. 1:9-10; 2 Thess. 2:10-12; Rev. 19:11-21)! The bottom line today is that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, and to this end Jesus taught his disciples to pray and to watch for (Matt. 9-13; 24)! 

As we wish each one a Merry Christmas in the Lord this Christmas season, may we also encourage each believer in Jesus with a Merry Maranatha!

During this Christmas season, we have every assurance that Jesus will come again at the end of the age for His Bride just as He said; because His first coming prophetic promises ALL came to be (John 14:1-3)! As we wish each one a Merry Christmas in the Lord this Christmas season, may we also encourage each believer in Jesus with a Merry Maranatha (Come our Lord - 1 Cor.16:22) as well! For indeed He is coming for His bride!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! Merry Maranatha!

Bible Verses Relating to the Rapture Teaching and the Second Coming of Christ!

The Rapture Bible Study from Behold Israel!

Christmas - Christ's First Coming Proves He's Coming Again! Do You Believe This?

Dear friends, the Lord Jesus' first coming overwhelmingly confirms the Rapture and His GLORIOUS Second Coming (Gen. 22:18; Isa. 7:14; 9:6-7; 11:1; Jer. 23:5-6; Matt. 3:1-3; Mark 1:14; Luke 3:1-6; John 1:14; Gal. 4:4; Heb. 10:4-9; Rev. 12:1-5)! If ALL of the prophecies of old, ALL came to pass at Christ's birth and first coming; then it should be a great comfort and overwhelming witness to all, that ALL of the prophecies of the Rapture and Second Coming will indeed also come to pass as well! Yet how many so called Christians reject outright these two crucial teachings of what will be in the not so distant future (Matt. 24; John 14:3; 1 Cor. 15:51-57, 1 Thess. 4:13-18, Rev. 19:11-21)! Our day is EXPONENTIAL in every facet of our global society and demonic deception EXPONENTIAL (Matt. 24:1-4; John 8:44; Eph. 2:1-2; 2 Tim. 3:1-5; 1 John 5:19)!

 Demonic influence, deception and darkness saturates this present world, but the Christmas message is an ETERNAL GLORIOUS LIGHT shining forth out of the hearts of those who know Jesus in RIGHTEOUSNESS and from the RIGHTEOUS Word of Almighty God!

Demonic influence, deception and darkness saturates this present world, but the Christmas message is an ETERNAL GLORIOUS LIGHT shining forth out of the hearts of those who know Jesus in RIGHTEOUSNESS and from the RIGHTEOUS Word of Almighty God (Matt. 5:14-16, John 17:17; 1 Thess. 5:4-5)! Indeed ALL of the promises in God are YES and AMEN (Psalm 138:2, John 14:2; 2 Cor. 1:20, Rev. 22:13)!

This Christmas; do you personally know the Lord Jesus Christ in the PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS He requires (John 1:12; 3:16-17; 1 John 4:10)? The Lord Jesus desires to be born in your heart to out work HIS-Story in you; to be a burning light in you to a dark and dying world (John 1:12; 3:3-7, Eph. 2:1-14; 2 Cor. 5:17-21)!

As the Lord Jesus came the first time; He is INDEED coming the second time! All events are EXPONENTIAL today and all signs say it's go time!

Merry Christmas and a Merry Maranatha to ALL in Christ Jesus!

A Biblically Objective Christmas

This Christmas season may you be biblically objective and see from Almighty God's precious Word the REALITY and TRUE meaning of Christmas and the unspeakable gift Almighty God your ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator has for you in the babe of Bethlehem (Isa. 53, Micah 5:2, Matt. 1:21, 2 Cor. 9:15). The very meaning of the Name "Jesus" means; Yahwey IS Salvation! The very gift from Almighty God for you is His ETERNAL Person which is found in His precious Son (Isa. 7:14, Matt. 1:21-23, John 1:1-4, Heb. 1:2-3; 10). If you know not the Lord Jesus Messiah as your personal Savior there is no better time than this Christmas season to receive Him into your heart (John 1:12)! There was no room at the inn for Jesus to be born and I pray the inn of your heart does not have a "no vacancy" sign in its window too! May you choose Jesus as your own and receive God's most precious Gift for yourself, His beloved Son!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

ETERNAL Hope at Christmas in America's Last Days

In light of our day here in America when uncertainty and concerns are EXPONENTIAL, do you want delusional remedies that cannot deliver, or do you seek ETERNAL answers that will ETERNALLY deliver? In this Christmas season; we who have faith in Almighty God have ETERNAL hope much like Anna and Simeon did in the lawlessly oppressive dark days under Rome ( Luke 1-3)! As the great American experiment is coming to a horrific conclusion, we remember what our Founding Fathers warned us of when immorality and godlessness reigns. May Americans today look objectivity outside of their subjective world’s confines to a place of absolute ETERNAL security and assurance! That place is to be found in none other than Almighty God's ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Son, Person and Presence (Psalm 16:11; 36:7, Prov. 3:5-6, Isa. 26:3, Phil. 4:7, Heb. 4:16, Rev. 1:17-18). 

True access to Almighty God is ONLY granted by a saving relationship to Him through His Son, Jesus Christ! That is what the Christmas message is all about!

True access to Almighty God is ONLY granted by a saving relationship to Him through His Son, Jesus Christ (John 1:12; 3:16-17, Acts 4:12; 16:28-31; 17:24-34; Gal. 1:4, Rom. 10:4; Eph. 2:8-9, 1 John 5:13). That indeed is what the TRUE Christmas message is all about! When one places their ETERNAL trust in Almighty God's ETERNAL saving solution and remedy in Spirit and TRUTH one is set FREE FOREVER(John 4:24)! Almighty God will indeed save (deliver/rescue) that one from the consequences of their sin and from the limited and temporal confines of this fallen world (Rom 5:12-19, 1 Cor. 2:14, Gal 1:4). We need to see the ETERNAL BIG picture and not be deceived and blinded by this doomed world's fallen temporal vision (2 Cor. 4:2-4)! Unbelief and personal rebellion absolutely blinds us and destroys us from ALL of Almighty God's Divine ETERNAL purpose and good (Jer. 2:11-13, Hosea 4:1-6, Rom. 1:18-32, 2 Thess. 2:10-12, Heb. 3:7-19; 4:1-2)! Dear friend, don't be an unbelieving ETERNAL fool, but be believing, in ALL that Almighty God your RIGHTEOUS Creator has for you in RIGHTEOUSNESS (John 1:12; 3:16-17; 1 Cor. 2:9; Rev. 21; 22:1-5)!

Don't be an unbelieving ETERNAL fool, but be believing!

Dear friend, do you know the Lord Jesus as the Bible (i.e., God’s Infallible Word) clearly teaches? This Christmas season may it be so in these last days? The ETERNAL Son of God has come to set men free from the prison hold of planet earth and to deliver them from their sins and trespasses against Almighty God, and to fully enjoy Him in RIGHTEOUSNESS (perfection) FOREVER! Merry Christmas!

Your Lamb is Born! A Song of Worship of the Savior's Birth!

  

Messiah's born in the city of David, Incarnate Word the Son of God!

Perfect Lamb sent forth to save us, from Death’s sting and Satan’s host!

Angels shout with joys of wonder, on this night the King is born!

Shepherds seek their Lamb and Savior, King of kings and Lord of lords!

See your Lamb in lowly manger, Lord of time and ETERNITY!

Righteous Branch and Seed of David, Son of God and Deity!

He shall grow before the Father, shed His blood and then atone!

Then shall rise and be exalted, to the Right hand of the Father’s throne!

Your Lamb is born this day in the city of David

Born this day a Savior who is Christ the Lord!

Wonder of wonders, who can conceive it, oh what glory the angels cry!

ETERNAL God man’s Lamb and Maker here in flesh before our eyes!
Oh what mind can ever ponder, oh what heart can understand!
Astonishment beyond all wonder, in the stall behold your Lamb!

Your Lamb is born this day in the city of David

Born this day a Savior who is Christ the Lord!

The PERFECT EGG in the Manger

Only in the Messiah of Israel is found the RIGHTEOUSNESS that we so desperately need to enter into Almighty God’s Holy and Perfect Heaven. That is what is so wonderful about the Christmas message! Almighty God provided a PERFECT body for His Son to dwell and make atonement for the sins of the world (Matt. 1:20-21, Luke 1:30-35, John 1:14, Heb. 10:5, 1 Peter 1:19)!
.

 That is what is so wonderful about the Christmas message! Almighty God provided a PERFECT body for His Son to dwell and make atonement for the sins of the world!
'

We can NEVER enter into Almighty God's holy RIGHTEOUS Heaven without the PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS of the Savior. The PERFECT LAMB for the world was born in Bethlehem of Judea 2000 years ago to be the Savior of the world! It is ONLY through God’s Son that we have forgiveness of sins and fellowship with God the Father (John 3:16-17, 1 John 4:10). It is in Christ alone that we have true son-ship and forgiveness for sins (John 1:12; Gal. 3:26) and citizenship (Eph. 2:19; Philip. 3:20) in Almighty God’s glorious RIGHTEOUS Heaven FOREVER (Rev 22:5). No wonder the angels GREATLY REJOICED with astonishment beyond all wonder at the birth of Jesus (Luke 2:10-14)!!

No wonder the angels GREATLY REJOICED with astonishment beyond all wonder!!

No Flesh (man's fallen lawless nature) shall EVER glory in His presence (Rom. 7). "But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption" (1 Cor. 1:29-30). Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior? It is ONLY through the Messiah of Israel who was born 2000 years ago that we have access into the RIGHTEOUS presence of Almighty God and gain valid citizenship into His RIGHTEOUS Heaven. My friend in these very trying days be sure that you are trusting in Almighty God’s Son as ONLY taught in the Holy Scriptures for your ETERNAL destiny depends on it (John 3:36, Acts 4:12). This Christmas - if you have not already done so- be sure that you place your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ today. You will NEVER be the same!

Joy to the World when the Messiah Returns!

It will be the ravishing of the nation of Israel under the anti-Christ, climaxing with the global bloodbath of Armageddon at Messiah's glorious return in which Jesus Messiah will obliterate the global armies of the Anti Christ which will finally bring about a TRUE and EVERLASTING PEACE to Jerusalem (the City of Peace), to the nation of Israel and to the world (Dan. 2:44, 7:13-27, Zech. 12:4,14:2-4, Rev. 19:11-21)! 

 Joy to the World was written by Isaac Watts for Messiah's GLORIOUS second coming to earth from the RIGHT HAND of the ETERNAL THRONE and MAJESTY of the Father!

During the Christmas season, we hear the song "Joy to the World" and it is the Christmas favorite of many, however, I wonder how many people actually know that "Joy to the World" was written by Isaac Watts for Messiah's GLORIOUS second coming to earth from the RIGHT HAND of the ETERNAL THRONE and MAJESTY of the Father (Psalm 110:1). Many people throughout Christendom are oblivious and even reject that Jesus Christ will even return to earth to establish His Kingdom reign. I know this to be true since at one time in my life I was one of them. Now after repenting and coming to personally know the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior the second coming of Jesus Christ absolutely thrills my soul and consumes me as I wait for His trumpet to blow (John 14:3, 1 Thess. 4:13-18, 1 John 3:1-4). 

 The truth of the matter is that only the redeemed of the Lord in that day will rejoice at Messiah's second coming.

The words to "Joy to the World" were written by the English hymn writer Isaac Watts and is based on Psalm 98 in the Bible. The song was first published in 1719 in Watts' collection; The Psalms of David: Imitated in the language of the New Testament, and applied to the Christian state and worship. The truth of the matter is that only the redeemed of the Lord in that day will rejoice at Messiah's second coming (Matt. 13:30,41-43, 25:31-40, Rev. 7:9-17, 20:6). The godless inhabitants of the world under the 666 global state of Lucifer and his anti -Christ will mourn greatly as they seek to prevent His establishment at the Battle of Armageddon (Rev. 1:7, 11:15-18).

What Israel and the nations have attempted for centuries and could NEVER achieve will finally be accomplished at Almighty God the Son’s second coming to earth (Psalm 2, 24:7-10, 110, Isa. 2:3, 9:6-7, 33:22, 51:5,61:1-11, Dan. 2:34-35, 44-45, 7:13-14, Micah 4:1-3, Zech. 14:16-21, Rev. 19:11-21).

It will be ONLY by the Prince of Peace that TRUE and EVERLASTING PEACE will come to the world and the City of Jerusalem.

It will be ONLY by the Prince of Peace that TRUE and EVERLASTING PEACE and TRUE JOY will come to the earth and the City of Jerusalem (Isa. 9:6-7, 33:5, 53:5, 62;1, Jer. 33:16, Zech 8:3, Matt. 5:35, Rom. 10:2-4, Eph. 2:12-19, Col. 1:20, Heb. 1:3, 10:7-14).

My dear friend, please try to comprehend that ALL current global events are indeed heading to this destination and EXPONENTIALLY beyond (Rev. 19:11-21)! Remember the words of the Lord Jesus in which He specifically told His disciples to pray, “After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven (Matt. 6:9-10).” Oh my beloved! How many people pray this prayer day after day and are absolutely oblivious to what it is testifying to and stating! “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”

My dear friend, please try to comprehend that ALL current global events are indeed heading to this destination and EXPONENTIALLY beyond!

It will indeed take the horrific seven-year tribulation period to wake up the Jew and the gentile nations to this reality (Isa. 24:5-6, Rev. 6:14-17, 17:2). There is absolutely NO hope for Israel and the nations of the world apart from their Creator and Savior, Jesus Messiah (John 3:16-17, Eph. 2:12-16, Heb 1:2-3). It will NOT be until the Jew is reconciled with Jehovah God and receive their Messiah as their sacrificial lamb, propitiation and Savior that the nations WILL BE BLESSED (Isa. 2:1-4, 19:23-25, Micah 4:1-4, Zech. 8:23, Rom. 11:12) and TRUE DIVINE PEACE will go forth out of Jerusalem unto the entire world (Isa. 2:3-4,33:16, 62:1, Jer. 33:5)!

It will be Almighty God and His Son that will establish a world utopia and then an ETERNAL state of RIGHTEOUSNESS FOREVER and EVER not fallen humanity and lawless and godless delusions.
.

My friend, do you have a saving relationship to Jesus Messiah, the Savior of the world (Psalm 110:1, Isa. 43:11, 52:13-15, 53)? All depends on this very union! His death, burial, and resurrection to the Right Hand of Almighty God is the centerpiece of all ETERNITY (Gen. 22:8, Psalm 110:1, Isa. 53, 1 Cor. 15:1-4, Rev. 1:18,13:8, 21-22:1-5).

It will be Almighty God and His Son that will establish a world utopia and then an ETERNAL state of RIGHTEOUSNESS FOREVER and EVER not fallen humanity and lawless and godless delusions (1 Cor. 15:24-28, Rev. 21, 22:1-5). He will indeed come back to establish His Kingdom on His earth and the gates of Hell shall not nor NEVER prevent this from happening (Dan. 2:44-45, 7:13-14, Rev. 1:7, 16:13-16, 19:11-21).

As the days grow nearer to the Day of the Lord be sure that you know the Savior and Messiah of Israel as dictated by the Holy Scriptures!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

A Christmas REALITY - Mary Needed a Savior!

Just a thought for this Christmas season. One of the greatest myths in all of Christendom is that Mary (Miriam) - the young Jewish girl of king David's line - who gave birth to the Savior of the world was sinless. I myself was taught this as a boy in the Catholic church and it wasn't till I was born again and started reading the Holy Scriptures for myself that I saw the true folly of such a myth. My dear friends, no greater lie could ever be told or fantasy ever believed! When this lie is embraced it derails the total ETERNAL movement of Almighty God and seeks to make the temporal, fallen and mortal the ETERNAL, RIGHTEOUS and DIVINE (Rom. 10:4). Mary herself testified that she rejoiced in Almighty God her Savior and one does not need a Savior if one is not a sinner (Rom. 3:23, 6:23, 10:2-4, Acts 4:12)! If we let the Holy Scriptures of Almighty God and Mary's own personal testimony speak to us then this great fantasy of many can NEVER stand.
.

Mary herself testified that she rejoiced in Almighty God her Savior and one does not need a Savior if one is not a sinner.

. 

And Mary herself said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate (to look with pity on her vile condition) of his handmaiden (slave): for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation (St. Luke 1:45-49).

Also the Holy Scriptures tell us that Mary offered a burnt offering and a sin offering for atonement after her purification (Leviticus 12:1-8). If Mary was not a fallen daughter fallen of Adam she would not have needed to offer an offering of sin.  

And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons (St. Luke 2:22-24).

My dear friends, if you are one who holds to the teaching of the Catholic church on Mary of Nazareth I would like to challenge you to believe Almighty God's Word and receive the biblical position of Mary and that of salvation (John 1:12, Acts 16:28-30, Romans 6:23, 10:2-4, 1 John 5:13). Mary the young maiden - by faith - trusted in Almighty God for her ETERNAL salvation as a young girl before her angelic visitation and little did she know that she would be the vessel of Almighty God to bring forth the perfect body for her Lamb and propitiation of her soul (John 1:29, John 3:16-17, 36, Rom. 10:2-4, 1 John 2:2, 4:10).

Mary the young maiden - by faith - trusted in Almighty God for her ETERNAL salvation as a young girl before her angelic visitation and little did she know that she would be the vessel of Almighty God to bring forth the perfect body for her Lamb and propitiation of her soul.

The first Christmas two thousand years ago - the young Jewish girl of the tribe of Judea - Mary; was trying to comprehend and take in the wonders of the last nine months (Matt. 1, Luke 2:24-80). Mary was highly favored above all women and was given the Divine assignment to prepare the body for the ETERNAL Spirit of the Son of Almighty God (Isa. 9:6-7, Micah 5:2, John 1:12, Heb. 10). The true servant's heart and faith of Mary are to be greatly commended and her exampled followed; but when individuals seek to change her testimony and her witness to fantastic fables they do her and her ETERNAL Savior a great disservice and dishonor.

Mary needed a Savior and believed as the Word of God clearly stated (Lev.). What about you? If Mary was here today she would point you to her God and Savior, the Lord Jesus Messiah to save your soul and give you ETERNAL LIFE (John 3:16-17). What will you do? Will you listen to Biblical Mary or traditional Mary?

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
