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!

Yes, I do know He will return. But I no longer believe the rapture will be before the day the anti-Christ proclaims himself God.

Can’t define 1 Thessalonians without 2nd Thessalonians. The resurrection of the dead is the key.

2 Thess. 2
Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, 2 that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.

Revelation 20
20 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; 3 and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.

4 Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.

6 Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.

Nothing wrong with a day to remember Christ’s birth or His resurrection but if it’s a stumbling block to you, don’t do it. Can’t tell how many people we reach for the Gospel at Christmas time and Easter. It’s more of a stumbling block to ignore it like the Jw’s do and. People are more open than ever at those seasons.

I believe Jesus was personally born on Nisan 1 The day of Newness and beginnings. Like Johnathon Kahn’s position on this. Check it out if you get a chance... The Host of who’s show he is on is wack but don’t let that bother you about what he states on this.

The Rapture is at any moment not on Trumpets which I did think about intently for a while when that was all the rage 5 years ago... Also... The fall feasts like the Spring feasts will all happen at once (within that week). Just my opinion on this....

thanks for your reply!
Merry Maranatha!

I love Jonathan Cahn and I do listen to him all the time, but on this, I disagree. There is 2 ways to figure out when Jesus was born and the most accurate way in to find out when the "course of Abija is in Luke 1:5. Go back to 2 Chron and find that he's the 8th course. Then you have to figure that all the priests served at Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles, so with a calendar you can figure out that Elizabeth got pregnant around Tabernacles and John was born 9 months later at Tabernacles. Jesus was 6 months younger than John so that puts Him at Tabernacles. There are a couple of other clues that are easier to prove when Jesus said He was the "Light of the World" He was in the Temple at Tabernacles. A theme of Tabernacles is the 3 poles in the courtyard with lamps on top of them were called the "Light of the world" and he is declaring to the Priests that He is the Light of the world in front of them. Another is John 1:14 when it says that He was made flesh and "dwelt" among us. The word "dwelt there is translated from "Tabernacled". Whenever God comes to live with men, He tabernacles with us. Rev 21:3 is the same terminology for God to to come live with His people.

He could absolutely have been born on Passover, but He will definitely be born of some Tabernacles in the future.(probably a Jubilee Year) A Jew knows that Tabernacles is the "Day no one knows the Day or the hour" just like we know "Turkey Day" is Thanksgiving. Trumpets starts the moment the priests see the New Moon in the sky and they start to blow the Trumpet. They blow it 100 times and the Last Blast is called the "Last Trump". The Great Trump can only happen on Atonement and the First Trump is only on Pentecost, so when the Last Trump sounds we will be changed in the twinkling of an eye and it can only be on Trumpets. This is why Paul said that he didn't have to tell them because they were Jews and should know this. He also says to "Watch", so that designates Elul 1-30 during Teshuvah when the "King is in the Field". During this month you should pray, fast, and repent. They are watching for Rosh Hashana. We will be Raptured at Rev 4:1 and the first seal opened after the Rapture will be the revelation of the Antichrist as the man with a bow on a white horse. The bow represents Nimrod as a hunter of men and a white horse because he pretends to be Jesus. The 5th seal will be the murder of the Tribulation saints that missed the Rapture, or the "foolish virgins". The 4 horsemen will be natural punishments from God because you have war, famine, economic problems and death in man made life even today. There will be some that will realize it's never been this bad before. The trumpets will look more like supernatural events to try to get the more dense people to finally repent. The bowels of wrath will be so plain, they are knowingly fighting God as in Psalm 2 and God is laughing at them. Each time He is looking for anyone to repent.

There is usually 10 days from Trumpets to Atonement, but God had to cut it short to 7 years because there would be no flesh left. God has given us His timetable in Leviticus 23, but we ignore it for some reason. Easter and Christmas are just pagan days injected into the church from Rome and Rome decreed that they would kill anyone that kept the Sabbath or the Feast Days due to their antisemitism. It seems almost universal even to those that admit that they know the 4th Commandment speaks of Saturday and I worship Jesus on Easter and Christmas so what's the problem? Well, God said do not adopt the pagan ways when you come into the land He will give us. In 1 Kings 32, Jeroboam set up his own holiday on the 15th of the 8th month instead of the 15th of the 7th month using priests that weren't Levite's to worship golden calves so the Northern Kingdom wouldn't have to go into the Southern Kingdom to the Temple to worship and God didn't like it. Men are always trying to supersede what God told us plainly to do. It's been going on since the Garden of Eden and will end up in a man setting on the Mercy Seat of the 3rd Temple claiming to be god and sacrificing a pig.

In Eze 8, God calls it an abomination for the women to weep for Tammuz (Winter Solstice)(Christmas) and a little later they describe a a Sunrise Service where the priests have turned away from the Temple facing east to watch the sun come up in the morning to worship the sun. Again, He called it an abomination.

I'm sure God is touched that we bring Jesus into our hearts as we celebrate these days, but He has instructed us the proper days to celebrate in Leviticus and Deuteronomy. If I told you I'm having a birthday party on July 4th, why would you show up on August 21st and expect to get cake?

God bless you and think about it and study up on it. It sounds like rebellion to insist that we will celebrate the days we want and ignore what He told us plainly to do.
