A Merry Maranatha and a Merry Christmas!
IFB ^ | 12/23/20

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 is 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 for 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 for and to watch (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! 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!

I always enjoy your enthusiasm :)

I guess not much gets you down if your faith is that strong.

Merry Christmas

‘Exponential’ is a multi-faceted word.

Could you tell us what all those ‘last’ crossroads are, in all the glory of their ‘exponential’ multiplicities?

(Or could you have just found a simpler and less complicated word to describe today’s ‘deception, decadence, disintegration etc.’?)
