CHRISTMAS BIBLE-ART EPISODE #20 of 33

SHEPHERDS,
FIRST TO SEE
THE SAVIOR

L U K E
CHAPTER 2

She gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to men
on whom his favor rests.

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, GLORIFYING AND PRAISING GOD for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

Good Morning Dan, thank you for such a fine ministry here. What a way to start the new year.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Leon! Happy New Year to you, sir, and may you experience and enjoy our Lord’s manifold blessings throughout.

[Ezekiel]

This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger

Weather permitting.

No, really. My cute lil red-headed dolly sits in a reed basket on top of the hay in the feed rack on the hen house. (Okay, his hair design is embossed on his head, but nothing a couple of shades of orange Sharpies couldn't improve upon -- "הוסיף נופך משלו")

I never know what kind of drama he might generate.

Last year, I caught the squirrels chewing holes in his "Mama's Boy" onesie and also his blanket. One even ran off with his cap! The good news is that I was able to stop the theft.

Who could blame them, though. History repeats in the weirdest ways.

Crazy. No issues this year, plus I made sure to secure his hat to his clothes, just in case.

A couple of mornings ago, a fawn came up to give him a sniff, but that's about all so far this season.

It's wonderful that ancient history is represented by and remembered through such beautiful works of art and many more, but when the events come alive, now that's epic entertainment.

The Beehive Cluster (also known as Praesepe (Latin for "manger", "cot" or "crib"), M44, NGC 2632, or Cr 189)...

>>>

Ancient Greeks and Romans saw this object as a manger from which two donkeys, the adjacent stars Asellus Borealis and Asellus Australis, are eating; these are the donkeys that Dionysos and Silenus rode into battle against the Titans.[14]

Hipparchus (c.130 BC) refers to the cluster as Nephelion ("Little Cloud") in his star catalog.[15]

[Hebrews 11:6]

when the events come alive, now that's epic entertainment.

When the Messiah comes alive, now that's epic entertainment.

[Ezekiel]

The big reveal, Coming Soon.

A bad day for the Establishments though, always living to keep their status quos established.

Sad. Folks really need to learn to live a little! 🙂

Beautiful paintings for a truly divine moment in the history of mankind. Happy New Year and many blessings to All.
