Jesus is a baby every Christmas, and His mother is the Spirit of Christmas. They ask us to contemplate the mysteries anew every year.
Well.., I would say that people better be considering, instead, the "Lion of Judah" -- because He's "coming back for bear!".... LOL....
At Christmas -- a lot of people think about a cute little baby Jesus or a very nice man who said nice things to people, was uplifting, and healed a bunch of people...
What people really need to remember is that there's this "big bad Jewish fellow" out there, who's showing up soon, sorta unexpected, and he's "looking for bear" and is gonna open up "the biggest can of whoop-ass" you've ever seen in your life, on a bunch of people here on earth. LOL...
However, many fail to understand -- but they will "understand" when the Messiah of Israel returns to this earth, sets His feet on the soil of this globe, and sets up the ruling authority -- the one-world government -- that He puts into place over all nations, including the United States.
He's the Messiah of Israel, that He is coming back to earth, to set up a one-world government, with His headquarters in Jerusalem, ruling over all the nations of the world, including the United States and will rule over all who are still alive (from who are living right now today) -- and that He will definitely scrap the Constitution of the United States and make Himself the supreme ruler over all that we do.
The "day of reckoning" is coming for all of those who are trying to take over the world and put it totally under their control in an evil one-world empire. And they do admit that they want a one-world government -- their government, not God's...
When the Messiah of Israel comes back to this earth to set up His one-world government and subject all the nations of the world to His authority and rule -- He'll be making real short work of any of those yahoos...
And you can be sure that He will be utterly destroying anything to do with any of these yahoos, since whatever they say and do is a total perversion of anything to do with the Messiah of Israel.
And for sure -- we all, in this world, need the Messiah of Israel back, here on earth -- to destroy this coming one-world government and to install His own one-world government in its place.
I'm looking forward to the coming Kingdom on earth and the one-world government that the Messiah of Israel will be setting up, after He destroys, by His own hand, the present and evil one-world government that we see forming right now.
Isaiah 9:6-7
For unto us a Child is born.
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
“Well.., I would say that people better be considering, instead, the “Lion of Judah” — because He’s “coming back for bear!”.... LOL....”
Time to put away the baby pictures!
“Jesus is a baby every Christmas, and His mother is the Spirit of Christmas. They ask us to contemplate the mysteries anew every year.”
ahhhh no, blackpacific, he’s not, she’s not, and they don’t.
The problem with your view of the Second Coming is that you have it occurring long before the Final Judgement of doom. The two events are simultaneous. What you are setting yourself up for is the deception of the Anti-Christ, who will come as a “m”essiah, deceiving if possible, even the elect. As a Catholic it is understood that there will be four last things; death, judgement, heaven, and hell. But not everyone will necessarily see death before the final buzzer.
Then all things will be made new. A new heaven and a new Earth. This Vale of Tears, Purgatory, Limbo, and any other transitional state will no longer be necessary.
There is tremendous power in the concept of God entering His creation as an infant. Helpless in the eyes of the world. What the adults did surrounding his entry was remarkable. When Joseph received angels in the middle of the night, it meant that he could not wait until morning to move. The motion of the Holy Family out of Israel could have been something for the Moussad(sp?).
Happy feast of the Epiphany! May the saintly wise men who were the first to honor the Messiah guide us on our way!
