39 Versus 711

Followers (Of Christ),

It is an irony, that the world over often regards Christmas as the most sacred, popular of the well celebrated of the Holidays. For good reasons. You would think with something this huge that we would have so much material to back it up with in the Bible. Even that it would be larger than the Library of Congress (largest library in the world, with 162 million items), because what could be more important than birth of The Savior? You might think that we could go totally Snopes and totally fact checking on a vast repository of information about the birth of Christ. Truth is, there is inaccuracies floating around about Jesus birth and Christmas.  It is not that easy to some Pastors to write sermons about Christmas.  There just is not much material to work with in the Bible about the birth of Jesus Christ. Not lacking...just short, accurate and condensed information.

For all the elaborate work ups about Christmas, Mathew and Luke only wrote 39 versus, ...less than 900 words about the birth of Jesus.  With that little amount of scriptural account given...it is like asking the money of all the worlds banks in the world to come to a screeching stop...on one single penny on the sidewalk. That is okay. That is how Jesus is described, a Chief Cornerstone cast out....the appointed one many people simply overlooked, that some today still dismiss and overlook in daily lifes walks. Like that mere penny on a sidewalk, some just don't see the value of Jesus to themselves personally and wont lower themselves to pick it up. Just a baby in a manger.  To the other extreme from his birth, the crucifixion and resurrection on the other hand has a whopping 711 versus.  39 versus of birth, compared to 711 versus of death and rising.  In contralateral comparisons of Christmas commercialized in America, you would think that it would be the other way around given the magnitude of money we devote to Christmas. As well, with only 39 versus to work from, many churches and pastors get their portrayals about Christmas and the nativity scene slightly inaccurate at times.

A very common error is saying, or showing the wise-men appeared at the manger. They didn't show up to a manger, but later at an actual house. We don't blame them, we would prefer to show up to a house too.  Not a big deal. Yet if we get OCD about it and nitpick the little details, think of all the cheap plastic decorations we spent money on and imported from China, only to toss into the trash due to a perceived technical inaccuracy.

 Just Like That, Tomorrow It's Christmas, Open Presents And That Is All There Is?

Only one little verse referenced in Revelations 12 about one little male baby born and referenced  as only one little present that winds up ruling all the nations... (source)

Not Just like that, no. That unspoken sense of despair, frustration or dismal loneliness some get when the big frill is finally done and over, and one realizes Christmas went dry, and back to normal as the trash cans are filled with Christmas wrapping paper. The commercial Christmas over saturation dies dead in it's tracks and vanishes without a trace...Santa killed and buried, gone in 60 seconds like a freak isolated rapture incident. The excitement and seasonal joy crash lands. Done.  Time to separate commercialized version of Christmas from true faith...and cling to the latter the next regular business working day. You vow to keep defending the faith firm into 2018...

Christmas did not suddenly just happen "just like that", nor will it end just like that. Consider the fact there is also about 17 prophecies in the Old Testament about, and leading up to the birth and life of Jesus Christ that is correlative and reaches ahead into time, that are fulfilled in Mathew and Luke. By example, Isaiah 7:14 – Is the prophecy that Jesus (the Immanuel) would be born of a virgin, as one example Isaiah looked ahead about that was later fulfilled in Matthew 1:23.

Or that Micah 5:2 – which is the prophecy that Jesus would be born in Bethlehem (fulfilled in Matthew 2:6, and John 7:42). Yesterdays past, is so connected to the then future about Jesus Christ that the adventures and intrigue to studying the bible is like being a detective hot on the trail of hope, like a time-walker stepping back and forth across the division lines of time and seeing the clues add up in real time.

The real reason it is not just like that "over" after tomorrow mornings presents being opened, is this only marks the present moment of Christmas that is rather an eternal rule of Jesus Christ in a Kingdom that will not ever end. Luke 2:1-7 –Unlike the census count and baby murders ordered by temporary kingdom of Caesar Augustus, who had no idea that his decree for a census was all part of God’s plan to bring a king who, unlike Augustus, would have a reign that would never end.....it is not the past or even the present.  Rather the wide open future of a kingdom that is only getting started. There can be all kinds of things to happen on this planet and economies or empires can collapse someday or fry under war heat that makes this earths kingdoms seem futile...but Jesus Christ started one that is only just starting to really catch on in the hearts of men (Okay...women too).

So If There's Only About 39 Versus About Jesus Being Born, What's The Trip About R-12?

 

This year 1919 picture about Christmas is called "Strangers at the Door", is from and stored in the Library of Congress where there is more "stories" about Christmas than what the Bible gives us. A picture about Jesus birth celebrated  is a picture worth a thousand words, yet the Bible only had less than 900 words to say. So...did we get shorted by 100 words or more? Is there more? Frankly, we think there is so many Christmas stories created to make more from less, but not for any lack. Maybe the Bible is simple, clear, concise about the birth, and got it totally right the first time that simplicity and shortness was to keep us looking forward to the bigger picture in the bigger future,...not behind us in debates over too much information.

R-12? This Ministry began on the whirling winds of the Book Of Revelations Chapter 12 (BOR) as the opening theme focusing on Revelations 12 (R-12). While there  is only about 39 versus about Jesus being born in New Testament, the BOR now, Revelation 12 does make a "reference" to his birth in a slightly different way.  Revelation 12: 5 says: “She gave birth to a son, a male child.”  That is the only "reference" in the BOR to his birth.  It is then immediately followed by the words: “Who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron.”. Three main phrases here..1.-Rule  and 2.-All The Nations, 3.-"is to" rule...so we still have the grandest gift still to come after any ol' given Christmas yet. The phrase "is to" is our clue....that the strongest connotations are yet to come in greater fulfillment.

The BOR having just once mentioned Jesus birth, it goes immediately to the great forward looking core issue of the BOR:  The triumphant return of Jesus Christ when He comes as sovereign Lord, King, and Judge.  There are some who describe this as something that has already happened past tense, but that we are becoming surrounded by Magog and going to a severe judgment phase in years ahead someday. Others yet say this rule with a rod of iron is something still to come but only in allegory, others say already has come and is ongoing, and yet others say it is much more literal, and that parousia (another phrase for "second coming") is the bringer of it's fulfillment. We hold a view that "most of the above is correct".  Yet with an end outcome to be looked forward to with exciting sense of anticipation someday in the future. We predict that as surely as Augustus "census" in Jesus time actually led to Christ emerging through that with calling for his own Kingdom that is rather eternal, that we have another similar "global census" coming in years ahead with a microchip, that will rather also prove to be temporary like Augustus reign, and Christ rule and Kingdom will supersede that too to instead give rise to his Kingdom in it's ruin instead. The world still has gifts coming in the future.

Most of you are consumed with Christmas with Family, Church and travels, so keeping it simple, our concluding point to share is simply this: When you see the Christmas present wrapping paper fill the trash cans in your neighborhoods tomorrow and next day, do not get a empty feeling inside. Think not Christmas as to it's meanings and future meanings is somehow "over". The indescribable gift is eternal, and the prophecy is still unfolding and has future context to manifest as it will forever.

The gift will keep on giving...as we look forward to his Kingdom future even more so. Throw away the wrappings, but keep the gift (Immanuel).

Jamais Vu R-12 CHRISTmas?

Followers (of Christ),

You may...only possibly recall, but momentarily not in a eerie sense of dazed jamais vu for the moment only, the prior blog "Deja-Vu-R-12-(click here)". Jamais vu, is explained as "when a person momentarily does not recognize a word, person, or place that they already know", sort of the opposite of deja vu (non-pathalogic). Do not jamis vu about Jesus Christ.  96% of you occasionally may have experienced deja vu sensation.  Yet, if you did not read the two earlier blogs "Dark Skies Alert" and "Deja Vu  R-12", we expect you to have this moment a contrary sensation of jamais vu in not recognizing. Those blogs came in the peak of the "September 23, 2017" sensation about alleged constellations arrangements and conjuntions of what some called "The Great Prophecy". We'll, deja vu here we are again on Revelations 12 again, but now jamais vu for the moment...

Those blogs were our own instance of prophecy being fulfilled in that time frame in form of "witnessing about Christ", which was the prophecy fulfillment itself we "manually fulfilled" or "forced the prophecy to come true".  Believe it or not, a huge component of prophecy in Revelations 12, is simply victory speeches, giving testimony of Jesus Christ  (R 12:17 "...who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus."). Other "religions" and those abandoning religion have very sadly abandoned Jesus Christ, whereas we hold firm, advance and keep pushing the boundaries of testimony of Jesus Christ. On 9-23-2017 some were confused and distracted by false religions claims of rapture/doom, looking for scary shaped clouds sounding-off golden trumpets and the face of Jesus appearing in the skies or North Korean nuclear explosions with blinding flash of light that night of 09-23-2017. We were busy fulfilling prophecy right under your nose simply sharing Jesus Christ. Jamais vu about Jesus Christ?

Recapping History And Forecasting A Lot Of Future This Christmas And Millennium

The deja vu eerie sensations of there being some kind of special, magical significance to the stars last September 23rd, 2017 is partly understandable from a emotional perspective to the eschatological type of person you are.  After all, the Bible tells us to be that way. On the one hand...ancient prophets wanted to monopolize their studies of the stars and discourage you from going off the deep end in meaningless star study or medium speak as found in Leviticus 19:26-28,31; 20:6; and more clearly in Isaiah 47:13.  Yet, "astrology" is far different from seeing the obvious if clear and present signs on the other hand. The stars were really excellent tools and marking points...Jesus Christ himself did tell his followers about many things as "signs" "in the heavens" to watch for such as found in (Matthew 24:29-31,44). After all, it is how we could identify the birth and proof of Jesus Christ as the foretold one.

If people are blessed to live in "Dark Skies Reserves" styled areas, much like Custer County and Fremont County Colorado up in the mountains closer to the stars...know you are blessed. Not for the political controversy of such abstract unusual laws trying to create otherwise normal and natural dark skies God already gave us into a political stunt on paper wresting control from the skies, and your wallet someday. Yet, lucky to have the stars to see nowadays of living prophecy studies. King David decreed, “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge” (Psalm 19:1-5).

The Virgo Constellation of "The Virgin". Many people blaspheme, insult or dismiss Jesus mother Mary, or just do not "get it" about virginity. If Gods son came from the heavens, the Virgin truly was a Virgin with no possible dispute. Best viewed on a computer. If you are in Dark Skies territory looking at the night skies, can you see this? This picture is from August 17, 2006, by Michelet B (thank you), *-2

Israel, Christmas, Stars...I Don't Get it...Like Bethlehem Star Or Baby Jesus?


We will make this very simple. The Virgo, "The Virgin" in the stars of Revelations 12:1....represents Israel (see Dark Skies Alert Star Chart clicking here). In the overall context of Israel as Gods people and encompassing ALL the 12 tribes (not just two)...which so many of you are Gods people in the total House of Israel. Born into Israel, for the world, there became the first Christmas.

An uncommon c. 1729 map of ancient Israel. Likely drawn by the Dutch engraver Schryver. This map shows Israel from Hethelon in the north to Kades, just south of the Dead Sea. Divided into the areas controlled by the Twelve Tribes of Israel, from the north these are Dan, Aser, Naphtali, Manasse, Ephraim, Ruben, Juda, Benjamin, Simeon, Issachar, Zebulon and Gad. Shows several important cities including Jerusalem, Gaza, Cezarea (Caesarea), Damascus, Tyrus (Tyre), Joppe (Jaffa near modern Tel Aviv), etc. The right side of the map is dedicated to Old Testament quotations, mostly drawn from the Book of Ezekiel, describing the region. Probably issued in an early 18th century Dutch Bible or other Biblical reference. this Ministry does add underline and bold to Jersualem. Did you really think POTUS announcement about Jerusalem was just a timing fluke after the September 23, 2017 constellation line-up? Or is Netanyahu recently correct it is "biblical prophecy" finally starting to be "fulfilled" in tiny steps?

 
 The peoples as Israel is through whom the world received Jesus Christ that born of "The Virgin" constellation.  Revelations 12:5 "  5 And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne". Above the Virgo constellation is the Lion and tribes of Israel, and the "Magis"....all nine of the Magi stars are shown in the heavens, who following the King or Royal Star, came to him with gifts.  (Jamais vu...don't momentarily recognize this Christmas story still found in the stars? Read on...)

Three wisemen or three kings is how most people visualize it. There is actually 9 Magi stars, and some artworks depict 9 Magis, instead of the "3" most people think of. This picture shows three. Adoração dos Magos, by Vicente Gil (work from 1498 to 1518) National Museum of Machado de Castro Coimbra, Portugal *1

Mathew 2:9-11 is a description of the several Magis approaching the baby King, and is the Christmas nativity set so to speak.

The ultimate "nativity scene" and re-enactment of Christmas can not be taken away from you or the downtown set, street display or park decoration by satanist, atheist, the ACLU, impending communist revolutionary guides of the far left, non-peaceful religions or even not having any room in your own house. In fact, even the homeless see the nativity scene better than you if they sleep under the stars. Looking up at the stars.....you are looking at the greatest story-board display re-enactment in the sky of "Christmas story" the world has ever seen since baby Jesus was born in the flesh.

You also saw past blog assurances about "victory" through Christ. It was not speaking of a personal victory only for you, but also the entirety of Israel planet wide. And all her (Virgo-Israel) tribes as the emerging rulers of the world and even good old time hot button topic Jerusalem. Israel was a people diversified and scattered and regathered both here and there (ongoing), a covenant, a prophecy of the 12 tribes and still unfolding, as much as it is a piece of real estate that has the eternal capital anchor point called Jerusalem. Is it only a subtle clue and minor co-incidence that when we wrote those blogs about 9-23-2017 and Virgo, we mentioned the US base that just then officially opened in Israel, and that Trump then since the constellation intrigue announced a process of "recognizing" Jerusalem finally (however symbolic)?  12 Tribes of Israel to Revelations 12, to a special Christmas this year.  We do not believe it is purely a coincidence....it was nothing less part of the many elements of "The Great Prophecy" starting to fulfill about both the peoples and political/state Israel and the other most heavily prophecised nations of people in the Bible,..."the Mountain"...of America that is also part of "the gathering".

Billions and Billions Of Stars In Our Eyes...And Future, But Just One Triple Conjunction

Star of Bethlehem, or triple conjunction? (click here is you have a half hour and enjoy humor)

How did the Magis get there and find him? We prior identified the "King" or "Royal Star" Jupiter, and described it's "retrograde motion" on the skies horizon moving around as what we call today the "Star of Bethlehem" (stopped moving on Christmas, whew...peace on earth).  Not all agree with our suggestions of history or Bible,...oh well.  In or about 3 B.C., Jupiter came into a conjunction with Regulus, the Star of Kingship, the brightest star in the constellation of Leo (shown in the prior R-12 blogs picture), the first of several such of these conjunctions over the next year near Christ birth gave the Magis advanced notice. Leo was the Constellation of Kings. It is also associated with the Lion of Judah.  The Royal Planet approached the Royal Star in the Royal Constellation representing Israel. On or about September 11, 3 B.C., Jupiter was not only very close to Regulus, but the sun was in the constellation Virgo. The Royal Planet in conjunction with the Royal Star while the sun is in the "virgin". September 11, 3 B.C., is also the beginning of the Jewish New Year. Those who mock, doubt or discredit Jesus Christ being "born of a virgin", are possibly ignorant because the Bible and science do not conflict about our beloved space-walker baby Jesus, and the Bible does totally does not lie...it is simply not understood by "academic fools" too "worldly minded".

The "star" (Jupiter) "stopped" over Bethlehem, as planets do when they reach the opposite point in the sky from the sun as they travel east across the sky...the wisemen (Magis) were from the east and "followed" it while Jupiter was doing it's  "retrograde loop" as on or about 2 B.C.. Jupiter was then stationary on December 25, during Hanukkah, the season of giving presents.   :)

Do not look at the Bible this Christmas and December 25 coming in a weird sense of jamais vu and God in a personal level feeling like a distant stranger you have forgotten further away than a distant star. Rekindle love and faith for Christ and his peace for you personally.  Know that Star of Bethlehem brought Jesus from there...to here, and the 9 from east to there,  and deja vu....might again someday when you are  looking up, and ....wishing on his star. Yet, instead of "wishing", no more jamais vu... recall and remember the peace you once had in Christ when you first came to see him, and find him anew if you never have. If you do not yet know Christ personally and are ready to receive....please, contact us, we want to tell you more about the indescribable gift of Jesus. We are led to the indescribable gift of the King of Peace this year putting him back into our hearts this Christmas holiday under the stars...

Under Her Feet...(Dark Skies Alert)

Followers (Of Christ),

In less than one week, you will be under her feet. I do not wish to discourage people from being interested in prophecy from scriptures,...not one bit. I rather highly encourage people to study scriptures, prophecy, history, science and embrace all that is true while you still can and it is all facing risk of being censored by being re-written in an age of founding statues in America being torn down. Yet, in doing so, you are encouraged to have your own mind and independent reasoning about things to know that science in largest part where factual and not conclusive from mere opinions...and the Bible, do not conflict. Nor does God  lie.

I like to study about God, his word and Christ prophecies in part due to where I am. In the Rockies, near where Westcliffe Colorado of Custer County and even some places in Fremont County is a "Dark Skies" area of spectacular views of night skies and stars very few places in this Country can boast of. If you like stars at night...this is the place. You are hereby put on alert to look at the stars in days in "Dark Skies".

Don't elevate science opinions as always totally right or accurate (people who thought of themselves as scientist with institutional religious power said not long ago the earth was flat. Then again, some religions still try to say that believe it or not), and also realize the scriptures when translated across the divide of languages, is capable of being misunderstood in a first glance in different languages. Frankly, is often severely misunderstood.  To "study" the Bible, often means we must "think", feel it out, and pray to have guidance as to what the meanings are. The Bible is not Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) encryption that is all jumbled up and garbled, it is capable of being learned, understood and figured out with patience and hearts intents to seek truth. It is also like a relationship, because it specifically IS a relationship...with God who's word became flesh. As with any relationship, it takes time to get to know the other person and actually relate and begin to understand over time.  Even then, the mystery never fully ends and one is still always learning about the other person, God, and his words. That way with Bible prophecy too, we can do a literal read and think we know and listen to others who believe they understand it, only to years later realize, ...no, we really did not know at all. Not all of it yet at least. Countless times I have been proven wrong to be listening to prophecy pundits, and later came to a different conclusion following a more studied and careful analysis. The only prophecies I have not been wrong about in interpreting yet, was the first coming of Christ. The objective and subjective evidence is he is real, and really did come and is who he says he is. Subjectively, this is my faith and my fulfillment of Revelations 12 as far as I can take it, and my own unique personalized experiences to know yes, he really is who he says and is real. I can even say "thank God", and mean it.  Yet, we again for a second time this year are facing a prophecy/cosmic innuendo after the eclipse we just had,...this time on September 23rd, 2017 as "alignment" causing many to wonder if we stand at thresh of a major event.

Is there however, reason to believe the upcoming September 23rd, 2017 planetary alignments or cosmic events are the fulfillment of Revelations 12? In a "first glance" I could say "Hmmm, well, the Bible does say in Revelations 12 that such and such constellation will be there...and we will then see under her feet all these things...and...".

The Signs In The Heavens ?

If you study the above on your computer, and look the Virgo's feet and then study it a few minutes along with the Revelation 12 scriptures, you can easily understand why some are wondering if  such event and date is "really it!". It is after all, thought provoking and stimulates your curiosity and intrigue. My point is, you can easily understand why many followers of Christ may think what they might think and not be too quick to dismiss this consideration of a possible prophecy raw in your face. Especially since we just had a major total eclipse last month and this now follows it, ...sort of the ol' one two double punch. Still...

Does Science And "That Old Time Religion" Contradict?

Actually not. They do not contradict. It is rather a question of how long it takes us to figure it out what The Bible was and is actually saying. There was many issues I grew up thinking were "opposites" or contradictions, then later I was humbled by God with new knowledge and insights to realize it was only our perceptions of words that contradicted, and that humans err. Darwin believed in God, Einstein believed in God. Yet so often we are not told the whole story about a scientist, or what his beliefs are, anymore than we are often not told the whole story about translations of the Bible  and what the words actually mean. I went through a period where I even wondered if the Bible was true, or filled with fantasy material to supplement it's readability and capture our imaginations.  I know better now, it is true, and what I never fully lost sight of, was my reality of relationship with God. Yet we must still "study" the Bible in full research mode to keep finding out how true it is, and realize it is not "myths" and it is all about one thing....pointing us to Jesus Christ.  If you get nothing else out of it, it is that the whole orientation of the Bible is to get us to see the coming, life, crucifixion, and a return again of Jesus Christ. Thus...the return has us glued to our seats...

Main thing here, is the Bible and science is not conflicting, and do not let others tell you what Revelations 12 says, when you should read it for yourself to know what it says. It does not say anything about "The end of the world" September 23rd, or frankly, anything at all happening September 23rd.  There is a lot of dis-info, mis-info and pure hype floating around out there, please do not confuse what others say it says(Revelations 12), as somehow being what it says.

You can look at pictures above, and see the potential for "ridicule" of how some artist tried to portray Revelations 12. The image directly above is from year 1545 by John Bale, attempting to depict two different Churches (Gods/The Saints, and the Devil or the old Dragons), published by a Thomas East. Revelations12 is after all, written in obscurity it seems, and graphically describing all kinds of things most of us just don't understand. Fortunately, the first picture above on the stars, actually does help put the prophecy into much more clear perspective, and I am able to look at it and go "ahhh, yes, I see the imagery now is clear, and yes, it is under her feet just like the Bible describes". Yes I do see this has major significance to Revelation 12. Still...

At The End Of The Day... 

Still. At the end of the day, I am forced to look at the prophecy in Revelations 12, and wonder if "this is it!"? Is the significance of this September 23, 2017 as real as "they" say it is? Not to break anyones hype heart here, but realize something. The planetary alignments people are talking about....have happened nearly September 23, on or about, the past few years too and there was no end of the world, return of Christ or anything immediately dire after those days in years past either. Nor does the Bible say that.  Besides, there is still several major prophecies in symbios relationship to the whole package of end times descriptions that have yet still to happen that don't support this immediate sense of urgency just yet. I am not seeing "the activating mechanisms"of just this routine and ordinary alingment as having a special significance. Unless, a world war breaks out by USA and North Korea situation, then sure, we can see the expedient potentials and rapid issues, not all pleasant or good either, and while there is little doubt those events will occur, we don't know when, or what the real outcome is. Do not be too fast to place it to Revelations 12.  It would certainly grease the ramp to many other prophecised events and then, well...it begins to shape real fast. There has been all kinds of wars and theaters in the past that seemed like it would set it all off, that just did not, and three world wars is a given, if not a plan by designers among men to create and finalize new world order, not the end of the world yet. Here is my suggestion,...affix no specific significance to this alingment, no differently than the prior years it happened as in the strictest sense of history and fact, it is not very different than years in the past and....you are still here.

The above said the alignment is not very different on its face....I am not out to ruin anything for anyone. In fact, I would ask you plan to enjoy it, by simply stepping outside at night September 23rd, and look at the skies and still know....they are indeed our signs, it is still living science, and still powerful prophecy as well as dynamic history but that we need to be keeping our hearts tuned to God for. Look at the stars, but seek the truth of meanings in your heart where the evidence of God can be found. The link to Revelations 12 is found clicking here.

Be your own scientist, and your own Bible researcher asking God to show you the truth and the way.  Put yourself in the middle of it all, and navigate the stars with your relationship with Jesus Christ, asking him to lead you on a life long journey of truth seeking. At the end of the night of September 23, 2017 of star gazing, the one fact and awe you can come to...is knowing God has put us here for a reason. A reason of getting to know him and he is not so far as the stars, when you invite him into your heart and life asking him to lead you. That much is real, and close.

The Big Picture

Revelations 12, is believed to have been written by John, until we see evidence otherwise. As with so many prophecy scripts, it has a past, present and future context. It was written to paint the big picture about the whole scheme of things, from the past war in heaven, the dark-side cast out, that the human race would receive a Saviour and did that is eligible to be saved through Christ and then called Saints through his blood, a period of apostasy,   future (or currently developing) kingdoms and powers, and the dark-side condemned to this earth for a final battle and that persecutes the Saints and that the Saints, of those who live have salvation and end of the age down to a chapter revealing there is two churches if you will, the one with Followers of Christ, and the other that takes all the others, apparently the world majority, down the path of destruction. Keep in context it says nothing about "September 23rd", though the constellations are clearly described, and clearly tell us how accurate and powerful prophecy is when starts can describe the current and developing kingdoms of this world. It is deeply fascinating indeed. Yet be assured, September 24th comes, as will future years. Take September 23rd as a "wake up call" to start seeking God, and seeking out how he wants you to live....not as the day it all ends. Look at the stars, re-commit your heart to him, his awe, his power and soak it up that his mysteries are alive and well and in process as we speak.


What is under Virgos feet, is you, and your call to God and that much I ask you to think about, the stars are distant, yet are you as close to God as you feel you should be? Verse 11 is what you can actually apply to you personally. It reads in NIV as "11 They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death". Do not fear, and do not fear September 23, 2017.

As you stand under her feet, the Zodiac constellation of Virgo in the old worlds myths about immortals was the last of the immortals who abandoned earth despite cast out to here, near the wheat harvest time. Look even higher than that to God as that is to whom you seek, are with, and will go to, and you won't be dying from the world ending September 23rd, 2017 because Revelations 12 has made clear, as unclear as it all reads...that we have already triumphed, through Jesus Christ, and it his kingdom to come that will survive past the new world order emergings and, and the terrible end of it when it eventually comes. For now, thank God for the victory you have already.

Blessings,
MMM
