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

Almighty God's Agape Love Biblical Christmas Story!

Beloved, before we look at the biblical Christmas account, let us first see what biblical agape love truly is. This is the only way to read the Holy Scriptures when this word appears, and by doing so, you will never read the Word of God the same again, and you most certainly will personally never be the same again!

Merry Agape Christmas!

David

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Biblical Greek Definition

Agape love is Almighty God’s self-giving, sacrifical and unconditional love which ONLY ever seeks His RIGHTEOUSNESS for all in Divine TRUTH (John 3:16, Romans 5:8; 1 John 4:7-10/ Isaiah 9:6-7; Luke 2:10-11; John 14:3; Gal. 4:4-5; 2 Cor. 9:15; Titus 4:11; Rev. 1:7).

Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift! 2 Cor. 9:15

It is agape love that seeks Almighty God's PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS in ALL things. Agape love only seeks the highest good in RIGHTEOUSNESS for another without demanding anything in return. Agape love is not based on feeling, emotion, worthiness, or circumstance; it is a personal choice to give, to sacrifice, and to remain faithful. This is the love that ONLY comes from Almighty God the Father and is revealed perfectly and most clearly in and through Jesus Christ, the ETERNAL Son of God, the Word made flesh. (Gen. 1:1-3, Psalm 2; Psalm 110:1; Isaiah 53; John 1:1-14; Phil. 2:5-11, Tim. 3:16, Heb. 1:2-3, Rev. 1:17-18, Rev. 22:12-13)!

Beloved, as you read below the Agape Christmas Story, every time you see the word agape love used, enter in its biblical definition, and then you will see how ETERNALLY wondrous the Agape Love of Almighty God is for you and for this lost world!

The Biblical Agape Love Christmas Story

On a quiet night beneath a sky filled with stars, Almighty God's promised agape love came down. Almighty God, the Son clothed Himself in humility, lay in a manger, wrapped in flesh so that humanity could be wrapped in Almighty God's wondrous grace and agape love for all of Adam's fallen race. Christmas declared that agape love does not wait to be deserved; it is, and it has come for all! Jesus is Almighty God, the Father's agape love for all!

Jesus is Almighty God, the Father's agape love for all!

This agape love walked among us. This agape love healed the broken, touched the unclean, forgave the guilty, and welcomed the forgotten. This agape love spoke TRUTH and RIGHTEOUSNESS with compassion and mercy, with tenderness and authority. This agape love carried a cross, bore our sin, and conquered death itself and rose on the third day FOREVERMORE to reign in ETERNAL LIFE! This agape love will seek, save, and deliver all to the utmost who call upon Him and receive Him!

But beloved, this glorious story does not end at the manger, or even at the cross. Agape love is triumphantly coming again!

But beloved, this glorious story does not end at the manger, or even at the cross. Agape love is triumphantly coming again!

This same Jesus who came quietly will return gloriously!
This same baby who once lay in a manger will come and reign as a King FOREVERMORE!
This RIGHTEOUS Lamb who was slain will return as the GLORIOUS RIGHTEOUS Judge!
His crown of thorns will be replaced with many ETERNAL crowns of glory!

At His first coming, agape love was wrapped in swaddling cloths.
At His second coming, agape love will be clothed in RIGHTOUS GLORIOUS majesty.
The first time, heaven's ETERNAL agape love touched earth in humility.
The next time, heaven's ETERNAL agape love will reign in RIGHTEOUSNESS upon the earth in ALL glory!

Beloved, this is the hope of Christmas, not only that agape love came, but that agape love will come again! Agape love will restore what was broken, gather His people, and make all things ETERNALLY new, where justice, mercy, and agape love will meet, and peace and joy will reign FOREVERMORE in RIGHTEOUSNESS without end! Oh beloved, no wonder the Scripture states that,

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love (agape) Him. 1 Cor. 2:9!

So dear friends, as we celebrate this Christmas, looking forward as well as to the past, let us meditate, in the quietness and stillness of our hearts, and consider such wondrous glories!

Agape love came! Agape love gave! Agape love is coming again! And above all, my beloved (object of agape love), the most wondrous and glorious truth of all: Agape Love is a PERSON, and that PERSON is Yeshua/Jesus, God the Father's ETERNAL Son! Truly, this Christmas, I do not know how to say anything more wonderful than that!

 Christmas is the glorious and wondrous promise fulfilled and Jesus' return is the wondrous and glorious fulfillment of ALL things! 

Dearly beloved, may this Christmas be wondrously saturated with the fullness of the agape love of Jesus! May His agape love fill your heart, soul, and mind with all knowledge in TRUTH, RIGHTEOUSNESS, and the JOY which only comes with an abiding relationship to the Savior!

Dear friend, on a postscript, maybe this Christmas, you do not personally know the biblical Jesus, the agape love of Almighty God the Father? Dear friend, I just want to encourage you in every way possible to consider such things and enter into a saving relationship with the One who agape loved you so much that He laid down His RIGHTEOUS life for your ETERNAL redemption, to bring you to Almighty God the Father in RIGHTEOUSNESS, and that you might live in His agape love FOREVER. Dear friend, may it be so!

Merry Christmas and Merry Maranatha!

The Agape Love of Almighty God and His Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

He died, was buried and ETERNALLY rose again according to the Holy Scriptures (Matt. 28:6-7, John 5:39, 1 Cor. 15:2-4) to make RIGHTEOUS full atonement and RIGHTEOUS propitiation for all of Adam's fallen race which place their trust in Him (John 1:12, Acts 4:12, 16:28-30, Rom. 10:2-4, 1 John 2:2, 4:10)! He now sits at the Right Hand of Almighty God's throne (Acts 2:26-33, Psalm 110:1, Col. 3:1-4, Heb. 1:2-3, Rev. 5) and will come again in the clouds for His bride (John 14:3, 1 Cor. 15:51-57, 1 Thess.4:13-18, 1 John 3:1-4)! He will then come back to earth from Heaven's glory to judge the world in PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS and establish His 1000-year Kingdom Reign and REIGN for EVERMORE (Isa. 2:1-4, Jer. 23:6, Dan. 2:43-44, 7:13-14, Mic. 4:1-4, Zech. 14:3-5, Matt. 24:27, 2 Thess. 2:8-12, Rev. 19:11-2, 21-22:1-5)!

Be Saved O Earth! A Savior Was Born and is Coming Again!!

Wake up, O Israel!! Wake up, O America!!! Wake up, O Earth!!! A Savior was born!!!!  Almighty God has sent a SAVIOR, mighty to save and deliver ALL who trust in Him from sin and ETERNAL death (John 3:16-17, 36, Rom 7:24-25, Rev. 20:11-15)! Oh my beloved, how many people do you think in the land of Israel 2000 years ago were TRULY looking for Almighty God’s Savior of the Holy Scriptures prior to His incarnation (birth) (Psalm 40:6-8, Isa. 53, John 1:10-11, 14, Heb. 10:5-14)? Sadly, nearly none... because (then and today) people (Sadducees, Pharisees, Israelites, conservatives, liberals, Americans, etc) are NOT looking to be delivered from their transgressions against Almighty God. 

 These are ever seeking to preserve their fallen nature and this fallen world, while rejecting the Kingdom of God that is to come in complete RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Foolishly and unbelievingly the world is looking for Almighty God to accommodate and accept THEIR subjective fallen world perspective, which is void of Almighty God's PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS and governed and ruled by their 5 senses (Rom. 1:18-32, 8:5, 1 Cor. 2:14,10:2-4, Jude 1:10). These are ever seeking to preserve their fallen nature and this fallen world (Rom. 1:18-32, 2 Thess. 2:10), while rejecting the Kingdom of God that is to come in complete RIGHTEOUSNESS (Rev. 21). Tragically and rebelliously it is the world's unbelieving personal will that seeks to always triumph over Almighty God’s ETERNAL SOVEREIGNTY and ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS will (John 1:10-11, Rom. 1:18-32). These individuals (conservative and liberal) have THEIR "own" opinions of who Almighty God is and have sought to transform the Holy Scriptures to fit THEIR own personal “Judeo/Christian” life style (Jer. 23:36, Matt. 7:21-23, 2 Peter 3:16). They in their unbelief are personally (conservative and liberal) at war with Almighty God and His program for the ages and deep down inside they know it (Rom. 1:18-32).

 They, in their unbelief, are personally (conservative and liberal) at war with Almighty God and His program for the ages, and they know it not.

Godless unbelief will ALWAYS cripple and deceive the mind from the RIGHTEOUS REALITIES of ETERNAL accountability and Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS saving remedies (John 3:16-17, Rom. 10:2-4, 2 Cor.4:2-4, Eph. 2:8-9). This Christmas season, when the world at least seeks to somewhat acknowledge the Savior's birth, even in a state of unbelief, may many truly come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and truly seek to understand why a Savior was born and why we so desperately need Him! 

This Christmas season, may you be a TRUE receiver and a TRUE believer in knowledge with spiritual understanding about what the birth of Jesus Christ truly means.

A Savior was born (Isa. 9:6-7, Micah 5:2, Jer. 33:15, Matt. 1:21, John 1:14, Rom. 1:1-6, Heb.10:5-12, Rev. 12:3-5, 22:16)! He died, was buried and rose again according to the Holy Scriptures (Matt. 28:6-7, John 5:39, 1 Cor. 15:2-4) to to make RIGHTEOUS full atonement and RIGHTEOUS propitiation for all of Adam's fallen race which place their trust in Him (John 1:12, Acts 4:12, 16:28-30, Rom. 10:2-4, 1 John 2:2, 4:10)! He now sits at the Right Hand of Almighty God's Throne (Acts 2:26-33, Psalm 110:1, Col. 3:1-4, Heb. 1:2-3, Rev. 5) and will come again in the clouds for His bride (John 14:3, 1 Cor. 15:51-57, 1 Thess.4:13-18, 1 John 3:1-4)! He will then come back to earth from Heaven's glory to judge the world in PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS and establish His 1000-year Kingdom Reign and REIGN FOREVERMORE (Isa. 2:1-4, Jer. 23:6, Dan. 2:43-44, 7:13-14, Mic. 4:1-4, Zech. 14:3-5, Matt. 24:27, 2 Thess. 2:8-12, Rev. 19:11-2, 21, 22:1-5)! Dear friends, that is the WONDERFUL Christmas message in a nutshell!!! O the ETERNAL depths of the Christmas message! Who can even fathom it?!
