The Book of Ecclesiastes

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 2

Ecclesiastes 2:1 says, "I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also [is] vanity." "Mirth" means "gladness, joy, pleasure." Within his mind Solomon told himself I am king and decided that he was going to have a good time making merry, having fun, however after awhile that play-time lost its substance, meant nothing. There was nothing substantial to it and soon that feeling of emptiness (vanity) is felt and this is what happens when you cannot get pass the flesh, "the man that walks under the sun", that came from the dust and shall return to the dust.

Ecclesiastes 2:2 says, "I said of laughter, [It is] mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?" "Mad" means to boast, act like a fool." Acting like a fool, taking nothing seriously while you just let it all hang out as a good time charlie, is just plain emptiness.

Ecclesiastes 2:3 says, "I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what [was] that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life." Father said a little wine for the good of your stomach, your health, is fine (I Timothy 5:23), however he did not stay gallons and to the point of unreasonable intoxication. Drunkenness will certainly cause you to act as a fool, make foolish decisions and keep you on a path that leads to nothingness.

Ecclesiastes 2:4 says, "I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards:" Solomon is saying he had it all. His flesh being was lacking nothing when he looked at all his many, fine, expensive possessions.

Ecclesiastes 2:5 says, "I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all [kind of] fruits:" Ecclesiastes 2:6 says, "I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:" "Gardens" means "paradise." Solomon tried to create and lavish himself in what he considered a paradise here on earth, within his flesh body, which is impossible. Everything Solomon had, all the great beauty was to satisfy the flesh. There is one Paradise and that is in Heaven and can only be created by our Father. Solomon had his own irrigation system to give his trees life; however he could not give himself life. There is only One Tree required to create great beauty, salvation, and He is our "Tree of Life, Christ Jesus" who is also our "Living Water." “The living fountains of water” is that nourishment for our souls, the “Living Water” received from our Shepherd, “Jesus Christ” which proceeds from the "Throne of Almighty God."

Ecclesiastes 2:7 says, "I got [me] servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:" Solomon had what those before him dreamed about having. More servants, cattle, land then anyone ever had; yet, all his earthly possessions did not bring him happiness or peace of mind. Capturing and understanding life so that you are happy to be within these flesh bodies cannot be felt through possessions, it can only be felt through your spiritual relationship with Father God.

Ecclesiastes 2:8 says, "I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, [as] musical instruments, and that of all sorts." "Gathered" means "collected." "Gat" means "to acquire, to appoint." Solomon had the greatest of fine treasures and oh what a choir and orchestra. Lots of enchanting treasures, listening to some awesome voices and music oh so sweet, one would believe this would make him very happy. All Solomon had to do was lift his hand and whatever he wished was before him, and still it was emptiness because none of these pleasures brought him peace of mind. Hear and understand what Solomon is teaching. (lucifer who is satan the anti-christ, was wealthy by means of commerce and head of the choir in Heaven as well, and he surely has no peace of mind, however he does have the promise of death of the soul.)

Ecclesiastes 2:9 says, "So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me." Solomon had many, many possessions, however his divine wisdom stayed with him in spite of these earthly things and this is why he is teaching and sharing these truths. He wants all to understand divine wisdom and not the wisdom of "the man who walks under the sun." This divine wisdom came to Solomon from Father God as is taught in I Kings 3:5 - 15, when Father asked Solomon what it was that he wanted most of all (ask what I shall give thee.) In responding, Solomon did not think of something for himself, he thought about his earthly father, just as we should think about our Heavenly Father always. He spoke with Father God from a humble heart and that is the same way that we should speak with Father, openly, honest and from a humble heart. Solomon was a young man sitting on the throne, a king over many people. He, as those just coming into understanding Father's Word, had the heart and mind of a child when it comes to understanding our LORD's truths. When Solomon answered Father as to what it was he wanted, he did not ask for anything for himself. He captured Father's heart when he asked for the wisdom to help and have an understanding heart toward others. This pleased Father in that he could have asked for many good things for himself, however he did not, Solomon asked Father to bless him to be a just (to act as a ruler, law-giver or judge or governor (of God) man. Father gifted Solomon with wisdom as no other has had, he a "man who walks under the sun (flesh body)." Father did this to bring forth His Word, which leads you to have peace of mind in this very troubled world we live in, that all who seek, ask and knock, will see the "Light, who is Christ Jesus, the Son of Father God Almighty" and not be lost in the darkness of satan. Our LORD added to the wisdom requested of Solomon all riches and long life as well "if" he walked the path of righteousness because he had humbled his heart before Father God. Solomon's meekness before Father God brought about his gift of divine wisdom, not the wisdom of the world which is emptiness. Having been told of receiving this gift, he did not wait to see if Almighty God would keep His promise, rather He accepted Father's Word with a trusting heart and immediately thanked our LORD by offering sacrifices. When you study the Word of Almighty God and understand His promises, claim them and thank our Father, acting according to His Will. Find peace of mind by gathering together, convening with Father God, asking Him for wisdom from a humble heart as you study "His Precious Word."

Ecclesiastes 2:10 says, "And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour." While you can find pleasure and enjoy your achievements, you cannot find peace of mind in those possessions you labored for here on this earth because these things are not eternal. Revelation 14:13 says, "And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed [are] the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them." This "labor" is your "righteous acts" while living in the flesh and this is the "work" that goes with your spiritual body to Heaven.

Ecclesiastes 2:11 says, "Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all [was] vanity and vexation of spirit, and [there was] no profit under the sun." All that you labor for while living in the flesh will surely fade away into the hands of another when your flesh body passes away. Only your spiritual works stay with you for all of Eternity. Also, even while you live within your flesh body, when you lie down at night and close your eyes for "rest", those possessions cannot do one thing to give you "peace." "Rest and peace of mind" comes by and from "Father God Almighty through Christ Jesus."

Ecclesiastes 2:12 says, "And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what [can] the man [do] that cometh after the king? [even] that which hath been already done." Take the time to meditate on divine wisdom versus earthly wisdom. This is to say, you work very hard in the flesh to achieve a great lifestyle, you pass away and all you owned goes into the hands of someone else, and there is not a thing you can do about it. All the nice things of earth are temporary. Divine wisdom and righteous acts are eternal.

Ecclesiastes 2:13 says, "Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness." It is better to understand things as they truly are than to fool yourself into believing a farce when you should accept and deal with whatever recklessness confronts you. Do not be a procrastinator or try to avoid issues as if they do not exist. You best meet them head on because they are not going anywhere. Show you have wisdom and seek Father God for divine guidance. You will surely need it when darkness, who is satan, the anti-christ, is cast to this earth to perpetrate the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind.

Ecclesiastes 2:14 says, "The wise man's eyes [are] in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all." The same thing happens to all people, be they the wisest or a fool, all shall pass away, or, be changed from a flesh to a spiritual body when Christ Jesus returns. Death does not discriminate and does not care about your status and what you have obtained in your flesh life. Father cares though. He cares as to whether or not you have righteous acts accomplished while in the flesh since these are the only treasures that will follow you to the Eternal Age; Heaven.

Ecclesiastes 2:15 says, "Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also [is] vanity." Solomon was wise because he loved Father God and wanted to bring Him pleasure, which is the reason we were created as is taught in Revelation 4:11. It is necessary that your spiritual body have dominion over your flesh body so you are not removed from the path of righteousness. When you are consumed with achieving earthly treasures which brings about emptiness, you can be fairly sure your spiritual treasures are falling way short.

Ecclesiastes 2:16 says, "For [there is] no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now [is] in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise [man]? as the fool." If you profess to be a wise person and leave Father God out of your life, you are no better than the fools who do not humble themselves before Father God, seeking wisdom. How wise can you be if you do nothing while living in the flesh to store up treasures for your eternal life in Heaven. If you turn your back or have no time for Father God while in the flesh, all that you have and accomplish is vanity, emptiness.

Ecclesiastes 2:17 says, "Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun [is] grievous unto me: for all [is] vanity and vexation of spirit." That is to say, therefore, there is not much pleasure in living in the flesh since it is a short life and ends too soon, and all the earthly possessions accomplished will not join your spiritual body when it returns to Heaven. Flesh is temporal and so are earthly possessions. Only Father God is Eternal.

Ecclesiastes 2:18 says, "Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me." When you have achieved many earthly things, there is always the worry of passing away and being concerned if the one who receives your earthly gain will respect and continue it as you have. The truth of the matter is, once you pass away, you will no longer care about what you left behind, who will get it and how it will be spent or taken care of. This is why, while you want to have comfort in your flesh life, your concern of treasures should be for your spiritual life because unlike earthly possessions, your righteous acts "do" follow you to Heaven.

Ecclesiastes 2:19 says, "And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise [man] or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun." You have no idea really if you are leaving your earthly possessions to someone who has some sense or a downright fool when you pass away. The good thing about that is you really will not care once you have passed away and you should not care while you yet live. The treasures you want to be concerned about are the spiritual ones since they go with you to Heaven and no one gets a share of your works. Serve Father God while in the flesh and receive your rewards when returning to the Heavenly realm, in the presence of our LORD God Almighty.

Ecclesiastes 2:20 says, "Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun." People will bring depression upon themselves while they yet live worrying about who will get and what will be done with their earthly treasures.

Ecclesiastes 2:21 says, "For there is a man whose labour [is] in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it [for] his portion. This also [is] vanity and a great evil." "Evil" means "calamity (disaster)." There are many who achieve much from their work while walking in the flesh, therefore leaving quite a bit of earthly treasures behind when they pass away. Then there is that lot of people who really tried very hard to stay on that road of what was needful for the flesh, therefore not having much to leave behind when they pass away. Fortunately, there are innumerable Heavenly rewards when you do not go against the oracles of Father God for the purpose of earthly gain, rather staying on that path that leads you straight into the outstretched arms of Father God who rewards endlessly when you have knowledge of and are a part of His Perfect plan.

Ecclesiastes 2:22 says, "For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?" What difference does it make to all those "walking under the sun", flesh man, for all the work and frustration they went through while gaining their many earthly possessions, in the end; when death takes hold of their flesh body. When you pass away and they count up all your earthly accomplishments, what good thing will it do you? When you have true wisdom, you work and labor to receive blessings, rewards from Father God for being pleasing to Him while walking in the flesh, under His will while walking in the flesh, standing on the Rock of our Foundation, Christ Jesus, while living in the flesh, understanding and sharing His Good Gospel while living in the flesh, that your rewards shall be with you for all of the Eternity. "Bless the Name of our Father God Almighty, Faithful and True."

Ecclesiastes 2:23 says, "For all his days [are] sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity." Earthly gain causes you to work hard and worry hard. They make it, worry about keeping it, who may be watching it, or who is around the corner trying to take it from them and those waiting for their demise. Earthly possession cannot and will not bring you peace of mind. Only Father God Almighty can when you take hold and anchor your life in our Living Word who is Christ Jesus. Your spiritual body must have dominion over your flesh body and find peaceful rest in our Lord.

Ecclesiastes 2:24 says, "[There is] nothing better for a man, [than] that he should eat and drink, and [that] he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it [was] from the hand of God." This is not a teaching of "the man who walks under the sun (flesh man)", this is teaching of your spiritual body, your very soul. There is only rest, peace of mind and many good things in your life when the "Mighty Hand of Almighty God is upon you." You can only be pleasing to Father when you do what is right and you can only do what is right when you study His Word and understand His Truths, seeking, asking and knocking for that increase of understanding in the Name of Christ Jesus, who is our Living Word. Father is our love, peace, rest, comfort, joy and wisdom.

Ecclesiastes 2:25 says," For who can eat, or who else can hasten [hereunto], more than I?" There is nothing that you can do right without including Father God. There is no obstacle you can overcome without including Father God. You cannot pull the wool over His eyes since Father knows and sees all things and wants you to come before Him humbly. No need to stumble around in darkness when Father has stretched out His arms to you.

Ecclesiastes 2:26 says, " For [God] giveth to a man that [is] good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to [him that is] good before God. This also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit." The "Hand of Father God" is upon all of His children who love Him, study and share His Word, standing on the Rock of our Foundation who is Christ Jesus. Storing your treasures in Heaven, pleasing Father God according to His Word, you can be assured that He will make your way better while walking under the sun within your flesh body. However if you chose to do it on your own, not respecting our Father God, more consumed with earthly pleasures, there will always be holes in your basket and obstacles in your path (vexation). Christ Jesus was born from above to be a Sacrifice for our sins, and while He was yet with us, showed us the way, the path, the truth, to Eternal life. As the very elect, having that wisdom only Father God can give, it is your duty to be pleasing to Father God and share your knowledge wherever it will be heard. Father God will surely bless you when you are a blessing to others. To those who are still void of Father's Truths sealed within your minds, spend some time with Christ Jesus, who is our Living Word and receive the blessings of Father God!~

The Book of Ecclesiastes

The "Book of Ecclesiastes" was written by the son of David, Solomon, "a gift" from Father God through the blessings of the Holy Spirit. This Book was written to "the man who walks under the sun", which is an expression that is speaking to "all who live in flesh bodies, humankind." Within this "Book", Solomon is speaking to himself, within his own mind, as well as teaching humankind how to live within our flesh bodies; receiving blessings from Father God, having joy in His love and peace of mind within our spirit self because of our Lord Jesus Christ. Living according to the instructions of this "Book of the Bible" will enhance our spiritual being as well since it will give a greater understanding as to the fact all souls born from above have two bodies, the flesh body, which this "Book" is about, and the spiritual body that lives within the flesh body. Solomon will teach as a pessimist (somebody who always expects the worst to happen), giving the bad side of something and as an optimist (somebody who tends to feel hopeful and positive about future outcomes), demonstrating the good side when you keep Father God a part of your life.  All souls are born from above within their flesh bodies for a purpose and that reason is to be in the service of Father God Almighty, who created humankind for His pleasure (Revelation 4:11), which ultimately instructs you of how to be happy while walking within your flesh body.

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 1

Ecclesiastes 1:1 says, "The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem." "Preacher" means "(to assemble, gather); a teacher of christian principles." This "Preacher (teacher)" is "Solomon."

Ecclesiastes 1:2 says, "Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all [is] vanity." "Vanity" means "emptiness; to act emptily, become vain, be vain - to cause to become vain - to fill with vain hope." The things of this world bring about emptiness since it cannot give you hope or peace of mind. Christ Jesus is our peace of mind.

Ecclesiastes 1:3 says, "What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?" As you walk within your flesh body, an earthly person, and think about and accumulate earthly things through your labor, never meditating within your spiritual self with Father God, there is nothing but emptiness no matter how much you accumulate or participate in of earthly things.

Ecclesiastes 1:4 says, "[One] generation passeth away, and [another] generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever." Solomon is saying one generation is born and dies, along comes another generation born and dies, and another, over and over. Emptiness, as the generations repeat themselves over and over. This is why you want to look to our Father God Almighty, spiritually.

Ecclesiastes 1:5 says, "The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose." The sun follows its course within the sky, rising and setting as you watch it from your flesh body rising up in the morning from the east and setting down in the evening from the west, day after day, year after year, generation after generation. It simply does not change.

Ecclesiastes 1:6 says, "The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits." In the north the summer wind blows and brings warmth and in the winter, the wind comes to the south and brings about the cold. The winds, just as the sun, have their own course, the seasons always coming, winter, spring, summer and fall, over and over, generation after generation.

Ecclesiastes 1:7 says, "All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea [is] not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again." The seas shall not overflow even though the rivers continue to flow into them. It rains and the water flows into the river, emptying into the oceans and seas. Humidity builds and the waters evaporate from the seas and rises up to become rain once again and when the rains burst forth, they replenish the rivers, oceans and seas, once more and they will not overflow since the process will repeat itself over and over again, generation after generation.

Ecclesiastes 1:8 says, "All things [are] full of labour; man cannot utter [it]: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing." "Labour" means "to toil, work; grow weary." Looking at what is produced by humankind brings nothing but weariness and emptiness since the flesh is never satisfied, never grateful.

Ecclesiastes 1:9 says, "The thing that hath been, it [is that] which shall be; and that which is done [is] that which shall be done: and [there is] no new [thing] under the sun." Each day is the same as the day before since the same things happen over and over again. Everything accomplished by people truly means nothing since Father God created the earth and there is nothing any individual can do or accomplish without doing so with the things our Father has created. Father God created the Heavens and the earth and knows all things, therefore while you should be happy with your own and others achievements, compare it to what our Father has accomplished, and you will then understand that all of your own and others achievements are emptiness, nothing.

Ecclesiastes 1:10 says, "Is there [any] thing whereof it may be said, See, this [is] new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us." Solomon is teaching that all things that have happened to individuals of this earth of long ago, even yesterday; shall happen again to other individuals as we now live. You are not a poor little, only me victim. There are no new ideas or courses that can happen to anyone that has not already happened to someone else. Within Father's Word are constant teachings of consequences suffered by those who disobeyed Him, as well as blessings upon those who obeyed Him. These teachings are examples for us as we now live. What is happening now as we live has happened in the past; good, bad and indifferent. As the First Earth Age came to an end, this Second Earth Age shall come to an end. Are you studying Father's Word to know what has happened and what shall happen again? The same deceptions and lies that came about in the First Earth Age shall come to pass in this Second Earth Age by the same master of deception, lucifer, who is satan, the anti-christ. "There is nothing new under the sun."

Ecclesiastes 1:11 says, "[There is] no remembrance of former [things]; neither shall there be [any] remembrance of [things] that are to come with [those] that shall come after." "Things" should be "men - humankind, those who walk under the sun." Over and over, one generation comes and goes, followed by another generation. This is speaking of those who walk under the sun, flesh man. When the flesh dies, it is gone forever. Never forget however that when the flesh man dies, the spirit man returns to Father God in Heaven (II Corinthians 5:8).

Ecclesiastes 1:12 says, "I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem." Simply stated, Solomon is saying he was the king over Jerusalem (Father God's favorite place) and he had more than he could ever wish for in terms of earthly possessions and achievements; he was at the helm and he had it all.

Ecclesiastes 1:13 says, "And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all [things] that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith." Solomon is saying he desired to find and understand wisdom; to have peace of mind since he had everything and had done all there was to do from an earthly standpoint and still he is not happy.

Ecclesiastes 1:14 says, "I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all [is] vanity and vexation of spirit." Solomon is teaching that he has the best of everything and seen the best of everything flesh man could ever hope for, those physical things of life, and still it is meaninglessness since he still feels like he is chasing the wind, which cannot be caught.

Ecclesiastes 1:15 says, "[That which is] crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered." With flesh, being just a shell, it is impossible to understand certain things, many things, without the spirit of Father God that fills that shell of a person. As an example, you have a whole walnut that has not been broken, a shell. You crack it open wanting to eat the nut that should be within it and behold the shell is empty. Therefore, that shell neither had nor served any purpose.

Ecclesiastes 1:16 says, "I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all [they] that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge." Solomon is meditating on the fact that he is king, having accumulated great wealth, established unbeatable armies. He is meditating on the fact that he has demonstrated good judgment, has understanding of worldly things, no other flesh king before him having demonstrated such power and knowledge of earthly things.

Ecclesiastes 1:17 says, "And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit." "Wisdom" means "to have prudence and act wisely." "Madness" means "boastful, a fool." "Folly" means "to act or do foolishly." Solomon reveals that he acted with wisdom and he acted as a fool; doing both good and foolishly. In this he learned his behavior only brought about displeasure. That which walks under the sun, the flesh body, is very hard to please. He partied hardy, drank too much and received nothing from it except for a headache. Much of the things of this world bring about nothing but trouble because it is evil. The things of this world belong to satan, and it you are on his course, that means you have turned your back on Father God and I wish you well without the blessings of our LORD.

Ecclesiastes 1:18 says, "For in much wisdom [is] much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow." Wisdom sought for yourself or personal gratification of the earthly things will give you just what you asked for, nothing, emptiness. You are going to meet yourself with the same misery and problems over and over and over. Chasing that high of earthly things is the same as chasing the wind since ultimately you will never reach it or catch it. Keeping in mind the subject of this "Book of Ecclesiastes" is the flesh man, humankind that "walks under the sun", wisdom as Solomon is speaking about is of the flesh, wisdom of the world and the more earthly knowledge you grasp on to, the more trouble you bring upon yourself because the flesh is never pleased no matter how much pleasure you lavish upon it. Your aim is to work hard and make lots of money, exchanging time best spent with your family for the all mighty dollar. The pleasures of drugs, sodomy, adultery, same sex, watching a football game while your children roam the streets of confusion or spend time romping on facebook, that endless list of worldly familiarity, brings about the destruction and breakdown of the mind, health, loved ones and family members. Wisdom and knowledge of the world may seem pleasing to the flesh, however rest assured it will bring sorrow and destruction in the end. Solomon is teaching that personal satisfaction, pleasing the flesh, will not be found within knowledge or wisdom of the searthly things since all wisdom and knowledge comes from Father God Almighty, and He is most assuredly "Spiritual." The greatest high you can ever hope for is spiritually through Father God Almighty who will freely give it when you ask, seek and knock through Christ Jesus.

MAGNIFICENT FATHER GOD ALMIGHTY

“Oh What A Wonderful Day”
!Hallelujah! Praise Ye YAH!
"Christ Jesus is the Reason for the Season"

Oh, What a Wonderful Day, Father God Almighty,
Praising and glorifying Your name, for this is not a time to be taken lightly.
Emmanuel, God with us, was conceived on this precious, precious day,
And in September, in His manger, Your Beloved Son, Perfect, did lay.
All the world new of His wondrous birth, Oh YAHOVAH, What a Wonderful Day!
Father, You did not have to do this, love for Your children so complete,
For to save mankind to be a part of the Eternity,
and not to death within the abyss.
Yeshua, our Messiah, Father God’s promised kinsmen Redeemer,
Frees us from sin when we believe and repent,
seeking forgiveness in humble prayer.
Christ is the Truth, the Light and the Way, Father God,
Oh, What a Wonderful Day!
Our Lord cast out demons, healed the sick and raised up the dead,
In the presence of mankind, Father God, Christ Jesus exalted.
He taught the first and greatest Commandment,
Thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart,
With all thy soul and with all thy mind;
Christ taught this to be heard and understood by all of mankind.
The second is like unto it, Thou shalt love they neighbour as thyself;
Father God knows how the victory is won and this is why
He sent His Beloved Son.
Christ Jesus even taught us the manner in which we should pray,
Oh my Father God, What a Wonderful Day!
Our Father which art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name,
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Christ Jesus gives us hope to stand against those things yet to come,
Understand Father’s Word, love Him from within,
And to satan we shall never succumb.
While opening your presents, eating, drinking and making merry,
Never forget the Greatest Gift of all, came from Father God Almighty,
Born from above through the virgin Mary.
Never sway from the knowledge that Christ Jesus is the only way,
Knowing our hearts, minds and souls belong to Him, on this and every Day.
To my Father God who embraces me as the wings of a great Eagle,
By the blessings of His Beloved Son, I know my soul’s victory shall be won,
For the comfort of His Holy Spirit, seeks to guide and always to lead me.
All glory be to Father God, who seeks, in love, my very soul,
And thanks be to His Beloved Son, for on this Day His story unfolds.
In Memory of our Beloved Mom, Dad and Brothers
!Hallelujah, Praise Ye YAH!

"!EMMANUEL! - !GOD! with Us"

“December 25th”, a most “High and Holy Day” in the hearts and minds of all those of humankind who understand the “love of our Father God for His children.” For on that day, “Christ Jesus” was conceived, an embryo, life, within the womb of Mary. “Conceive” is “Strong’s Concordance Greek Word No. 4815” which means, “to conceive, of a woman”, from “Strong’s Concordance Greek Word No. 4862” which means “with.” Matthew 1:23 says, “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name “Emmanuel”, which being interpreted is, “God with us.” “Emmanuel” which means “God with us” or “with us is God”, is the “symbolic and prophetic name of our Messiah, the Christ, prophesying that He would be born of a virgin and would be God with us.” Therefore, Christ Jesus was not born on December 25th, but was within the womb of Mary on that day, “with” us as the “Son of man”, His birth taking place on “September 29th”, which is the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles. This is not speculation, rather, truth, for Father God’s Word teaches and brings forth truth when you have eyes to see and ears to hear, understanding what “thus saith our LORD.”

Luke 1:5 says, “There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife [was] of the daughters of Aaron, and her name [was] Elisabeth.” “Zacharias” means “remembered of YAHOVAH.” “Aaron” means “light-bringer”, and he was head of the entire priestly order. “Elisabeth” means “oath of God.” “Abia {Abijah}”, means, “my father is YAHOVAH.” Zacharias was a priest, which means he was “the head of a priestly family from whom when David divided the priests into 24 classes, Abia was the 8th order [I Chronicles 24:10].” The number “eight” in Biblical Numerics means “new birth, new creation, new beginnings.” “The course of Abia” was a feast that took place, according to our solar calendar, from June 13th to June 19th {Sivan 12th to 18th}. As Father’s Word teaches us the dates of Christ Jesus’ conception and His birth, you want to keep the aforementioned feast timeframe within your mind. Zacharias was far from his home, at the Temple of Father God, fulfilling his priestly duties to our LORD.

Luke 1:6 says, “And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.” Zacharias and Elizabeth were “observing the divine laws of Father God” and this is why He chose them to proclaim the birth of Christ Jesus through John. Most often we are a spoiled and ungrateful children before our Father God whose only Begotten Son gave of His life for our sins, that we may come before our LORD and repent in prayer, without the need of the many sacrifices offered before His coming as was required by the Levitical laws. Father God declares Zacharias and Elizabeth were both “righteous, blameless”, worthy, as they met all the obligations of the priesthood daily, demonstrating their true love and faithfulness to our LORD God Almighty. Their way was not easy as it is for us today, yet, how many take the time to truly observe Father’s so precious love for us as He gave a path to repentance and forgiveness, sacrificing His Beloved Son, that we may come before Him each day without the labor of that which those before Christ endured.

Luke 1:7 says, “And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were [now] well stricken in years.” Elizabeth, in her youth, was unable to conceive a child, and now, she and her husband are, as we know it, elder, beyond the normal age for childbearing. However, when you are a part of the plan of Father God, all things are possible.

Luke 1:8 says, “And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,” This gives us a timeframe, Zacharias serving within the Temple of Father God, righteous, faithful, in all of his ways, during the course of Abia.

Luke 1:9 says, “According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.” Zacharias was doing all good things required by our Father God precisely as instructed, everything right and in order. As he burned the incense all of the people would gather outside of the temple, repenting of their sins before Father God, seeking His blessings as the smoke would rise from this Holy place. The burning of the incense, the smoke rising, a very sacred time, was symbolic of all prayers being heard by Almighty God and the children surely needed to see for belief. Keeping in mind the subject of this study, it also offers an exactness of the seed planting and birth of Christ Jesus.

Luke 1:10 says, “And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.” This should be so easily understood as these people are not much different from those claiming to be christians today, having that need to see, feel and touch. These people gathered around the temple depending on the smoke, as so-called christians today depend on their pulpit gurus, for reassurance that their prayers are being heard, that Father is listening. All you have to do is take Father God at His Word, demonstrating faith as you ask, seek and knock and stop looking for a specific sign or person to show what Father has already promised and given; if you have eyes to see and ears to hear.

Luke 1:11 & 12 says, “And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.” “And when Zacharias saw [him], he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.” What Zacharias is experiencing would be a normal reaction for anyone who is a part of a supernatural act or spirit being truly of our Father God. Certainly there is no doubt angels exist as we are taught in Matthew 18:10 which says, “Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.” When you are under the will of Father God, His angels protect, according to His will. Some will teach this is a common occurrence, angels appearing as this one, Gabriel, before the eyes of Zacharias, and they are contrary to the Word of Father God since this is not often spoken of within His Word. You best be sure that if the Holy Spirit of Father God speaks to you, it would be so overwhelming, so filling, the last thing on your mind would be telling someone because the words would not be there. Your spirit, heart and mind would be communing with Father God, weakened in the joy of His love.

Luke 1:13 says, “But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.” “John” means “YAHOVAH is a gracious giver.” Zacharias and Elizabeth are beyond childbearing years, so this child is a “gift” from Father God, given through His messenger, the angel Gabriel. Father named this child Himself. He shall be the prophet, John the Baptist. When you are a part of the plan of Almighty God there is no need to be afraid of any good thing pertaining to our Father who hears all prayers, knowing what we think and feel, giving what is needed, required, as all things come to pass according to His will.

Luke 1:14 & 15 says, “And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.” “For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.” You should have “joy and gladness” as well since this "Verse" should shed light on the fact that a fetus is a living, breathing life belonging to Father God, as He recognizes John, as he is yet within his mother’s womb, being “filled with the Holy Spirit.” For those who think, teach, believe, or what have you, that a child is not a human being until a particular month or even crying into the world, hear what the Word of Almighty God declares. This one, John, will not be playing church as a drunkard filled with wine, wondering and participating in babble and confusion as those calling themselves christians do. He will be about our Father’s business, chosen to do the will of Almighty God.

Luke 1:16 & 17 says, “And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.” “And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” John the Baptist shall be the predecessor of Christ Jesus as he teaches the true Word of Father God, turning those with ears to hear and eyes to see away from the world and to the truth with understanding, as to what “thus saith our LORD.” John shall come before Christ, just as Elijah did, having that same “spirit and power”, in the service of Almighty God, as His plan for humankind unfolds. Malachi 4:5 & 6 says, “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:” “And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.” As Elijah, John shall be teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ and not the doctrines and traditions of men. If you understand the teachings of Elijah and John the Baptist, your mind and heart will be drawn away from false doctrines that rapture you into the arms of the false/fake christ [satan] with that great deception that shall come upon the whole earth at the appointed time. If you listen to the teachings of these prophets, judging the tree by its fruit, you will not waste another Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday, whatever day you warm the pew of a house of lies, harlotry, babble and confusion because you will be too busy thanking Father God and His Beloved Son, Christ Jesus, as you study and build your gospel armor. Following the Christ-like path, nurturing yourself spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally on Father’s so precious Word, seeking truth only He can give when you ask, seek and knock, is what captivates your soul unto Him. Christ Jesus came into the world, being born of woman, the First Advent, and He shall return again soon, the Second Advent, when every knee shall bow to Him and every tongue confess Father God Almighty.

Luke 1:18 says, “And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.” Zacharias was questioning Father, which we should never do. “Whereby shall I know this”, is the same as saying, “How do I know this is true.” Our flesh speaks when it should be quiet and thankful. It is understood that Zacharias and Elizabeth were beyond childbearing years, however, all things are possible through Father God and when you are obedient, there is no room for doubt or unfaithfulness because that relinquishes being in spiritual contact with Father. As with Mary, young, having no husband, Elizabeth, the opposite, married, but beyond childbearing years, by different means of divine intervention, each woman shall conceive a child, our Lord Jesus Christ and John the Baptist.

Luke 1:19 says, “And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.” “Gabriel” means “man of God” and how happy he is “to bring good news {tidings}” to Zacharias, who was having trouble believing what he was hearing. Church houses are filled daily with those calling themselves christians who have trouble believing truth when it taught. Just as Gabriel was happy to “stand in the presence of God”, so shall there be joy in our hearts to be a part of the mighty plan of Father God. There is only one way to know what that plan is, rejoicing within it, sharing “glad tidings”, and that is by knowing what “thus saith our Lord”, which comes by studying the pure Word of Father God seeking knowledge that is divine because it is a “gift” from Almighty God. In understanding the purpose of the gifts of Father God, you come to the understanding that it is for the purpose of and to be prepared for the Day of our Lord, being the Second Advent of Christ Jesus, which is yet to come.

Luke 1:20 says, “And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.” “Ask, and you shall receive.” Zacharias wanted a sign from Father God that what Gabriel spoke was truth and so he received a sign. Not a word would come from his lips until after the prophet, John, would be born. For the next nine months, Zacharias, a priest, his duties requiring him to speak, will be speechless. Never doubt Father God. “Nine” in Biblical Numerics means “Fruit of the spirit, divine completeness from the LORD.” The “season” shall follow the “The Feast of Tabernacles, the course of Abia”, which shall end on June 19th {18th Sivan}. Zacharias’ speechlessness is a direct result of not having a discerning spirit and the faith to accept those things unseen. When you are chosen from before the foundation of this world, from the First Earth Age, being a servant in the service of our LORD with your mind, heart, having hands that labor for Father God, there is a path that is to be followed and never questioned. All that is needed to do the will of Almighty God is given, that being “His gift”, making a way for the fulfillment of His plan.

Luke 1:21 & 22 says, “And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.” “And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.” All of the people were gathered outside of the temple, the smoke of the incense rising to Father God as prayers were being offered for forgiveness, comfort, healing, seeking those things needed, all of the same things we pray, talk with our Father God about today, daily, when you are in love with He who created you for His good pleasure. There they waited for Zacharias, a man of God, a high priest, to speak to them. He is their teacher and they “wondered {marvelled}” why it was taking so long for the burning of the incense and Zacharias coming out of the temple to pray with them. Finally appearing, he could not speak from his mouth, so he gestured with his hands, motioning to them, the people believing he had fallen asleep and had a vision. He did not physically fall asleep, however spiritually he did take a nap, not believing, when he should have been rejoicing, his faith and belief in jubilation, for that is the peace of your spirit, when you understand truth and believe. This does not mean there will not be hard times as we live in this flesh, however faith, hope, trust, and most of all love for Father God and His Beloved Son, when you are studying His Word, preparing each day for those things yet to come, knowing you are a part of the mighty plan of Father God, will bring you a peace within your spirit those playing church will never understand.

Luke 1:23 says, “And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.” “Ministration” means “a service or ministry of the priests relative to the prayers and sacrifices offered to God”, for Zacharias, this being the “course of Abia”, the “eighth {new birth, new creation, new beginning}” order of the feast days. Once again, according to our calendar, from June 13th to June 19th {Sivan 12th to 18th}, Zacharias’ service to our Father God, which was at the temple in Jerusalem, ending on the eve of June 19th, sunset on a Friday, as all “ministrations” did, there being 24 of them [IChronicles – Chapter 24], he then returned to his home which was in Nazareth of Galilee, at least thirty miles for him to travel. Keep in mind, Zacharias was not a young man, “well stricken in years”, unable to travel the distance in one day, rather, “three {resurrection, divine completeness and perfection}” days, arriving home on June 23rd, having left on the 20th, the 19th a Sabbath day, so he would not have been permitted to take his journey on that day. These dates are very important in understanding the time of the conception of Christ Jesus and the date of His birth. When Zacharias arrived home, he knew {sexually} his wife.

Luke 1:24 & 25 says, “And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,” “Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on [me], to take away my reproach among men.” Just as Gabriel had announced to Zacharias, he knew his wife on the first day of his arrival home, “after those days of travel”, as Father God had ordained. She “hid herself five {grace or God’s goodness} months” because that was the will of Father God, she knowing something beautiful had occurred that people would not understand, her having previously being “barren and stricken in years.” When Father God gives a gift, you will not shout it in a hallelujah corner, rather, you will be within your closet in prayer, your soul communing with our LORD, peaceful within your spirit. This time of silence for Elizabeth, five months, would now be November 24th. You can be sure she had much to speak with Father God about, having prayed many times for children, feeling “shame {reproach}” never having conceived because a woman is expected to have children. Genesis 30:23 says, “And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:” When you are a part of the plan of Almighty God, all things shall occur at the appointed time, according to His will. Not all women shall have children and this is just the way Father wants it since He has a purpose for all of His children, especially His very elect.

Luke 1:26 & 27 says, “And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,” “To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name [was] Mary.” “Galilee”, when taken back to its prime, means, “roll away.” There will come a time when a stone shall be “rolled away” after the crucifixion of Christ Jesus. “Nazareth” means “the guarded one.” “Espoused” means “to be promised in marriage, be betrothed, engaged.” “Joseph” means “let him add, YAHOVAH has added.” “Mary” means “rebellion.” The first female within this Flesh or Second Earth Age was named by Adam and he called her “woman.” Her name was later changed to “Eve” after her “rebellious” act within the Garden of Eden, in that satan deceived her. In the "New Testament" comes “Mary {rebellion}”, who shall “bring forth the Beloved Son of Almighty God.” Understand that she was chosen before the foundation of the Flesh or Second Earth Age. Mary responded, “be it unto me according to thy {Father God} word.” She contradicted “the rebellion {deception}” within the Garden of Eden, restoring a voice of belief in Father God, “His will be done in all things.” Mary was chosen to bring forth the “Life of Father God, Christ Jesus, our Living Word” to this earth, the seed planted within each and every child “Father God has created, His Word”, when you have eyes to see and ears to hear what “thus saith our LORD.” As we continue on with this marvelous teaching, John the Baptist is now “six {weakness of man, evils of satan, manifestation of sin} months” within the womb of Elizabeth, another thirty days added, we are now at December 24th. Jewish days begin at sundown the day prior into sundown the next day. Our calendar changes at midnight, however in this time we are studying, it was from sunset to sunset. Therefore, Gabriel came unto Mary on our eve of December 23rd, with glad tidings that she was chosen to bring forth a “perfect Child, Christ Jesus, our Messiah.” That “wondrous” seed planted within her womb on our December 25th {1st of Tebeth}, sundown of the 24th in that day, Christ Jesus now dwelling with mankind, six months separating John the Baptist from our Lord Jesus Christ. Once a seed of life is planted within the womb of a woman, from the very second, this is a child, a human being, dispelling the myth that a child is not a living being until is reaches a particular stage of life within the womb or at birth. Father God’s Word is not to be compromised. This is what “thus saith our LORD.” This does not dispel our celebrating “Christ on December 25th” since this is the day that “Father God, through His Beloved Son”, came to dwell with mankind. Be it understood, once the soul and spirit enters into the embryo within the womb, the time of conception, this is life and this is what each and every human being upon the whole earth should be celebrating.

Luke 1:28 & 29 says, “And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, [thou that art] highly favoured, the Lord [is] with thee: blessed [art] thou among women.” “And when she saw [him], she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.” Isaiah 7:14 says, “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Father God’s prophecy is being fulfilled, coming to life. While Mary was blessed in that she was chosen to bring forth Christ Jesus, she is not to be praised, for our Lord Jesus Christ teaches and instructs us on how we should pray to our Father God, for only He is worthy to be praised, beginning at Luke 11:2 & Matthew 6:9 . When you are chosen before the foundation of this Flesh or Second Earth Age to be in the service of Father God, as Mary, you do not question His Word, lacking faith or belief, you seek understanding “through His Word.” It is a blessing to be called “chosen”, and Mary as the very elect of this time, wanted to understand that which Gabriel spoke.

Luke 1:30 & 31 says, “And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.” “And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.” “JESUS” means “YAHOVAH is salvation - Jesus, the Son of God, the Saviour of mankind, God incarnate.” “YAHOVAH” means “the existing One, I AM THAT I AM”, as is taught in Exodus 3:14 , which says, “And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.” “By the blessings of Father God Almighty, Christ Jesus, Emmanuel, is our Savior.”

Luke 1:32 & 33 says, “He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:” “And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.” Mary is being told that she will give birth to our “Savior of the world” and all of humankind will look to “Christ Jesus for salvation.” “He is the Beloved Son of Father God Almighty, and Christ Jesus shall be our King of kings and Lord of lords for all of Eternity.” The “birth of Christ Jesus is the First Advent” and “He came as Messiah.” When “Christ Jesus” returns at the “Seventh Trump” to this world, the “Second Advent”, He shall come with a “rod of iron”, which is “discipline”, and every knee shall bow to Him and every tongue, including satan, shall confess our “Father God Almighty”, as “Christ Jesus takes” his seat on the “throne of David”, where He shall reign forever as “King of kings and Lord of lords.”

Luke 1:34 says, “Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?” Mary is not showing a lack of faith, questioning or doubting our Father God as Zacharias did. She is merely seeking understanding of the natural order of things, knowing how Adam knew his wife and it being so down through the generations. She had never laid with a man and is confused as to how Christ Jesus would be born through her. Father God is Creator of Heaven and earth. He spoke and nothing became everything and formed Adam from the dust of the earth, from his rib creating Eve. All things belong to Father and He created all which exists, seen and unseen. This birth shall be by “Divine Intervention” through the Holy Spirit and Mary is about to come unto that understanding. If you claim to love Father God, there should never be any doubt that our salvation is based upon the “Divine Birth of Christ Jesus”, who is “Perfect”, and shed His blood on that cross, an “Unblemished Sacrifice” for you and me, all of humankind who believe with a pure heart.

Luke 1:35 says, “And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” Father God is fulfilling His promise of Genesis 3:15 which says, “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” This teaches us that Christ Jesus shall be born of woman and shall shed His flesh at the hands of the kenites, the children of satan. The prophets foretold all throughout the "Old Testament" of the coming of “Messiah, Jesus Christ.” Father God gives us a most “Precious Gift”, a depth of love so deep it can never be measured as our “Redeemer” comes to free us from the bonds of sin that bind and could bring destruction [satan] of souls. He is a “Devine Child” of our “Most High Father God” through the blessing of the “Holy Spirit.”

Luke 1:36 & 37 says, “And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.” “For with God nothing shall be impossible.” Mary asked the question and received the answer. Elizabeth is with child, by the divine intervention of Father God, understanding her circumstance, being six months within her pregnancy, John the Baptist within her womb. Mary, by this same divine intervention, shall carry Christ Jesus within her womb, Father God planting His seed on December 25th. All things are possible with Father God and He proves His power and might over and over if you have eyes to see and ears to hear. Father’s Word is complete and as we have clearly learned, John the Baptist was a forerunner for Christ Jesus, teaching us the exact time of His birth, John being born in the Spring and Yeshuah, Christ Jesus, Emmanuel, born in the fall, six months later, being September 29th, the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles. It would not have been in the winter since there were shepherds with their flocks, and sheep would not be grazing on frozen ground bearing no grass. Also, the greedy tax collectors would not have been stealing from the people at an inconvenient time, travelling from house to house in frigid weather, when they could more comfortably embezzle during the comfortable seasons.

Luke 1:38 says, “And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.” Mary, understanding the will of Father God, she being in His service, chosen before the foundation of this Flesh or Second Earth Age, accepted her commission faithfully and happy to be in the service of our LORD. This is how it should be with all of Father’s children. We are to bring Him pleasure and if you do not know Father God and His Beloved Son, Christ Jesus, bringing Him happiness would be a difficult task. Father God will intercede within the lives of His chosen children, however not within the lives of those who have free will. You must ask, seek Father and with faithful study you can overcome the stand you took within the First Earth Age, whether it was one of straddling the fence, not standing with Father or satan, or standing with satan. Many ask how they know if they are chosen of Father God and the answer is simple. When you hear “Truth”, you recognize it and are drawn to study, because you just cannot get enough of what “thus saith our LORD.”

As for “Christmas Day”, here again is choice. You can worship Father God, thanking Him for Christ Jesus, “Emmanuel, God with us”, or, you can prance and dance with santa claus.

Look at his name, being santa, scramble, and you have satan. Would not satan just love to take your eyes off of Christ Jesus on this most Holy Day, especially knowing we are in the end days, the "Book of Revelation" being revealed each and every day concerning the “Generation of the Fig Tree.” Continuing on, there is claus. The claus process is the most significant gas desulfurizing process, recovering elemental sulfur from gaseous hydrogen sulfide . First invented over 100 years ago, the claus process has become the industry standard. The multi-step process recovers sulfur from the gaseous hydrogen sulfide found in raw natural gas and from the by-product gases containing hydrogen sulfide derived from refining “ crude oil” and other industrial processes. The final step involves oxidation of the hydrogen sulfide. There is no need to read between the lines here.

I was raised within a “home”, not a house or a building. There was a lot of love surrounding myself and my siblings. Our Mother was a true matriarch and was not ashamed of her love for Father God and Christ Jesus, surrounding herself in feverish prayer with the sweet quietness of the Holy Spirit. We were raised to love Father with all of our might, to pray faithfully and to do our best to follow the path Christ Jesus taught. As children, we celebrated holidays, Christmas Day being very special within our home throughout the years, even as adults. The aromas of wonderful foods permeating the warmth of our abode, a beautiful tree, and many, many gifts my Mother struggled hard to provide for us. However, there were no toys and fun before Father God and Christ Jesus. Our day, as everyday, began with prayer, each child, from the time you were able to formulate a sentence, speaking to Father God. We knew those toys and good things were just that, things, and not the true meaning of “Christmas Day.” My Mother, her name was Mary and she was a rebellious woman. Her spirit was a sweet, kind and loving one, but if you pushed, Mother stood her ground. Prayer was her forte and you could feel the love for Father God with each word she spoke, see it on her face while in silent prayer. Mother rebelled against any who did not give Father God all the praise and glory, never ashamed to set you right if you presented yourself wrong. A Mother raises her children in the ways of our LORD, the responsibility as adults, becoming our own. In this way, it is a choice as to which road you take in life, knowing there is more than one. Father God gave us Mothers and Dads to love their children as He loves all of His children, each and every soul. As children of Father God, until this day, we celebrate “Christ Jesus at Christmas.” Yes, we had/have fun, share, care and love one another and the people around us, and it so very easy because it was a natural part of our growing years, our daily lives. Father God created us for His pleasure and we are made in His likeness, so surely He wants us to have pleasure within this life.

However, when a BlackBerry is priority over teaching your children of Christ Jesus, there is a very serious problem within your household. What families did fifty years ago cannot be duplicated today because we are now living within the Fig Tree Generation, the last generation and Christ Jesus will not delay His coming, and all need to be ready. Slew-footed satan shall be cast to this earth first and if you are not versed within Father’s Word, you will think that gift-bearing fool is our True Christ Jesus. That vile creature, death himself will be your santa claus “if” you are not studying Father’s Word to understand those events that shall consummate the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age. Christ Jesus came to be with us on “Christmas Day” to bring us salvation. He rode on that lowly ass and was sacrificed for our sins, “Perfect”, in all of His ways during Passover. There is a day coming when Christ Jesus shall return to us, however it will not be on a lowly ass. He will be coming with a “rod of iron {discipline}”, and every knee shall bow before Him as every tongue confesses Father God Almighty, and there will be a one thousand year teaching as this world has never known. I believe any who truly want to know and understand our Father’s Word, asking, seeking and knocking, it will be given because Father wishes none of His children to be dull, void of His Truths. As you celebrate "Christ"mas, cherish our “YAHOVAH Father God” and “Yeshua Christ Jesus”, bruising "Them" {spiritually speaking} with your prayers and love, teaching your children and anyone who will listen, giving them a grand example to follow, of how precious “Christmas Day” is and what it means. “Father God gave us a Gift of His Beloved Son, so everyday is Christmas. Father God and Christ Jesus, by the blessing of the Holy Spirit, is with us every second, never leaving us. People come and go. Father God is loving, kind, faithful and merciful. I pray you are giving our LORD a gift of love everyday. Christ Jesus is the Reason for the Season! Amen, Amen {That’s That}!”

FATHER GOD IS 'LOVE' - 'YAHOVAH' IS OUR THANKSGIVING

Dearest Mother,
You are our heart of love,
A rose, chocolate and a card.
While you rest up above,
We have much to reminisce of.
 Mother you loved John, Chapter 15.
God is Love, Christ a Precious Gift.
Mary C heard, lived according to His Word,
A Mother above Mother’s.
All Our Love,
Your Children

MOTHER’S FAVORITE SCRIPTURE
JOHN - CHAPTER 15
Our Mother was 84 years old when she departed this flesh life to be reunited with our LORD, but never missed a day studying our Father God’s Word of Truth, in-depth, Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse; a journey that begun approximately eight years prior. This shows that none are ever too elderly to embrace the Truth of the Word of Father God no matter how many years are spent sitting on a church pew never learning, as Mom too spent her life and raised her children within a church. One of our Mother’s favorite Bible Scriptures, if not her very favorite, was John – Chapter 15.

John15:1 says, “[I] AM the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.” Christ Jesus said, “I am the True Vine”, signifying there must also be a false vine. In this Flesh or Second Earth Age, for every positive, there is also a negative [Ecclesiastes 3:1 – 8].

John 15:2 says, “Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.” Those who do not bear fruit unto our True Vine, Christ Jesus, are those who belong to the false vine, satan. There are only two choices one can make, good or evil, [not good and evil], which is Jesus Christ or instead of jesus, satan [Genesis – Chapter 2].

John 15:3 says, “Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.” Christ Jesus is our Living Word made flesh full of grace and truth [John – Chapter 1]. “Clean” as in a similitude [likeness], like a vine cleansed by pruning and so fitted to bear fruit, if one hears, keeps and does the Word of Truth of our Father God. Bearing fruit requires work as James 2:18 says, “Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

John 15:4 says, “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.” Without Christ we are nothing, and Jesus teaches in John 3:16, “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” “Abide” is “meno”, meaning, we are the temples of our Father God, and He comes unto us and makes His dwelling place within us [I John 2:1 – 6]. Our Father God breathed the breath of life body into us at our conception because our God is a Spirit and we must worship Him in spirit and in truth.

John 15:5 says, “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” We learn in John 14:6 that “Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Jesus is Emmanuel”, meaning “God with us” and our Father, who through His only Begotten Son, "giveth to all "life, and breath, and all things."

John 15:6 says, “If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.” One can either abide in Christ Jesus, having eternal life, or, satan who is death, and judged to die in the lake of fire. Eternal Life with our Eternal Father God, is never-ending and uninterrupted life. “Abide” is an interesting word, meaning, “to continue to be, not to perish, to last, endure, to remain as one, not to become another or different, to wait for, await one.” David teaches, “Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD [Psalms 27:15]”. Even though we are born into flesh bodies we must remain in spiritual kinship with our Father God.

John 15:7 says, “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” Our Father’s will is that all men come unto the knowledge of the Truth of His Word and be saved. If one asks, seeks and knocks, it is our Father God’s good pleasure to give unto one the keys of the Kingdom of knowledge. Jeremiah 15:16 says, “Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.”

John 15:8 says, “Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.” “Glorified” means “to cause the dignity and worth of our Father God to become manifest and acknowledged.” All souls were created by our Father God to pleasure and glorify Him whether people of this earth realize this or not. When one bears fruit unto our Father God, one is leading those lost in the world back unto their Creator. It should be understood that just because one sits on a church pew on Sunday and Wednesday does not mean that individual is not still lost in the world. Christ Jesus said, “The harvest truly [is] great, but the labourers [are] few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest [Luke 10:2].”

John 15:9 says, “As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.” “Love” is “agape”, meaning, “one of the bridegroom's friends who on his behalf asked the hand of the bride and rendered him various services in closing the marriage and celebrating the nuptials.” We are Christ Jesus’ betrothed, male and female, and it is our duty to remain spiritual virgins until His long awaited Second Coming, and to bring as many with us to the marriage as possible, to be reunited with our True Bridegroom [John 3:23 – 36].

John 15:10 says, “If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.” Jesus said in Verse 9, “continue ye in my love.” “Continue ye” is “Abide” in this Verse; “Meno”, and we learned the meaning is “to continue.” Our Father did not just transliterate the word abide, but translated the word, giving us the full impact from the Greek to the English. “Continue” is a topical teaching in of itself, however simply stated, Christ Jesus has bid us to continue, in the sense of with one's spiritual activities, over a prolonged period of time, until that appointed is accomplished in unbroken fellowship and {agape} love.

John 15:11 says, “These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and [that] your joy might be full.” The joy that Christ speaks of in this Verse cannot be found in the world, but only in unbroken fellowship with our Father God. This joy can only be found in our Father God’s only Begotten Son in whom He is well pleased; Christ is the reconciliation between our Father God and us. This is {agape} love, meaning, to intervene; therefore, one who fulfils another’s needs, even though that individual may not be worthy. Paul teaches in Romans 5:8, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

John 15:12 says, “This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.” Christ commands us to love one another as He loves us, and Paul teaches us that the love of our Lord was evidenced in His Passion of the cross where Christ Jesus died for us. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” One of the meanings in the Greek of the word “gave” is “to give one to someone to whom he already belonged, to return.” “Jesus is Emmanuel”, meaning “God with us” and we are His people and the sheep of Our Father God’s pasture. I Corinthians 6:2 says, “For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now [is] the accepted time; behold, now [is] the day of salvation.”

John 15:13 says, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” There is no greater love than the love of our Father God and His Only Begotten Son, Christ Jesus. Yet, Christ commands us to love one another as He loves us. Christ said in Matthew 5:41, “And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.” Sometimes in displaying the love of our Father God and His only Begotten Son, Christ Jesus, we have to go the extra mile, or beyond that expected. I call to mind “Christ’s Parable of the Lost Sheep.” Jesus said in Matthew 18:12 & 13, “How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?” “And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that [sheep], than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. Thusly, we experience the full joy or blessedness of the Lord; “my cup runneth over [Psalms 23:5].”

John 15:14 says, “Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.” “Friends” is derived from the same word as “agape”, which is “love”, meaning, “one of the bridegroom’s friends who on his behalf asked the hand of the bride and rendered him various services in closing the marriage and celebrating the nuptials.” One then that is the friend of Christ {Father God} is one who is His best man or maiden or maid of honor [John 15:9].

John 15:15 says, “Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.” There are no mysteries in Christ Jesus concerning the Word of our Father God, however one has to study to show oneself approved of our Father and fit to receive and understand the truth. Continuing in Christ’s love is to have revelation into the Word of Truth and Life, bearing fruit; thereafter, one is Christ’s friend and not a servant. Solomon teaches in Proverbs 18:24, “A man [that hath] friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend [that] sticketh closer than a brother.” Christ Jesus showed Himself friendly when He shed His blood and gave His life upon the cross. We show ourselves friends of Christ, and no longer servants, when we deny ourselves and take up our cross daily following Christ Jesus [Luke 9:23], which includes not living by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of Almighty God.

John 15:16 says, “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” There is a great deal of meat in this Verse, however keeping it simple is simply to say that chosen vessels in Christ Jesus were ordained from the Former or First Earth Age, not this Flesh or Second Earth Age. Many preachers, pastors, reverends, whatever title they claim, say that they were called by Father God, however most do not realize that chosen vessels  preaching the Gospel must have taken a stand against satan in the First Earth Age to be teachers in this Second Earth Age. Our Father God said to the prophet in Jeremiah 1:5, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, [and] I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”

John 15:17 says, “These things I command you, that ye love one another.” To love and be loved is a most precious, yet rare commodity. Most people say the words, I love you, however few ever really experience the joy and the depth of true love. True love is not controlled love, rather a love displayed by our Father God where He gives His children the choice to love and obey Him, or not. True love also loves in spite of the outside person, seeing into the depths of the inner man. I Samuel 16:7 says, “But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for [the LORD seeth] not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.”

John 15:18 says, “If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you.” James 4:4 says, “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” One cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of the world; one cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of the world. This World Age will pass away, but the Word of our LORD abides forevermore, and Christ Jesus is called "The Word of Father God [Revelation 19:13]."

John 15:19 says, “If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.” I John 4:4 says, “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” “Overcome” is spoken of christians that hold fast their faith even unto death against the power of their foes, temptations and persecutions.

John 15:20 says, “Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.” John further teaches in I John 4:6 which says, “We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.” Most often it is seasoned church attendees who persecute the one chosen of our LORD who teaches our Father’s Word in the Spirit of Truth. Christ Jesus said in Matthew 9:16 & 17, “No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.” “Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.” Therefore, purge out the old leaven and become a new lump unto our Father God. One must beware of the leaven of traditions and hearsay, and study our Father God’s Word for themselves daily, Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse.

John 15:21 says, “But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.” The church attendees think they know the True Vine, Christ Jesus, but that is impossible when they never study Father God’s Word Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse, rather, hearing and receiving instruction taught by traditions and fairytales.

*** Christ teaches what they will do unto Father God’s election for His name’s sake in Matthew 10:17 which, says, “But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;” When satan is cast to this earth in disguise as the instead of jesus, anti-christ, our Father God’s election will be delivered up to his love filled fellowship halls by the deceived ones who believe his deception. These are they who attend church houses faithfully, but never took the time to study our Father God’s Word, spiritually, to stand against satan’s deception as the first/false christ. In their deluded state they will believe they are doing a service for our Father God by helping satan devour His election with his destructive abomination. Matthew 10:18 says, “And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.” Gentile includes anyone who is deprived of the Truth of the Seven Events {Signs} that end this Flesh or Second Earth Age. Also, a Gentile is anyone who is deceived by satan in disguise as the first/false christ, the instead of jesus [Matthew – Chapter 24 & II Thessalonians – Chapter 2]. The "Book of Revelation" tells us that the locust army are satan’s fallen angels in disguise as ministers of righteousness [II Corinthians 11:13 – 15]. Revelation 9:11 says, “And they had a king over them, [which is] the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue [is] Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath [his] name Apollyon.” “Abaddon” and “Apollyon” is “satan” and the meaning of these names is “the angel of the bottomless pit, the destroyer.” Matthew 10:19 says, “But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.” This hour is satan’s time when he is cast unto the earth as the instead of jesus, the first/false christ to return unto this earth, which precedes the Second Coming of Christ Jesus [Revelation 3:7 – 13]. “Deliver” in the Greek means “by betrayal to cause one to be taken to be judged, condemned, punished, scourged, tormented, put to death”, and satan is death and will be here on this earth in disguise as the false/first christ [Hebrews 2:14-18]. Matthew 10:20 says, “For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.” The Apostle Peter teaches us what will happen when Father God’s election are delivered up as a witness against satan and his false churches and deceived membership, which includes members of our own families.

*** Acts 2:14 says, “But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all [ye] that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:” Verse 16 says, “But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;” Verse 17 says, “And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:” Verse 18 says, “And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:” Verse 19 says, “And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:” Verse 20 says, “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:” Verse 21 says, “And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Everyone shall hear our Father God’s Spirit preach the Gospel around the world in their own tongue [language] wherein they are born, utilizing His election who are delivered up to satan’s false churches of apostasy during his hour of temptation.

*** Matthew 10:21 says, “And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against [their] parents, and cause them to be put to death.” Remember satan is death and he will be trying to convince the world that he is Christ Jesus, instead of the first/false christ. Family and friends who are deceived by satan’s deception as the instead of jesus will think they are doing those with eyes to see and ears to hear a favor when they bow a knee to the false one and offer their loved ones up to satan’s bed of abomination and rebellion. The only physical death will occur to the two witnesses of Revelation 11:3 which says, “And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.” Revelation 11:7 says, “And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.” Revelation 11:8 says, “And their dead bodies [shall lie] in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.” Keep in mind that our Father God is in control. Psalms 105:14 says, “He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;” Verse 15 says, “[Saying], Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.” The death of Father God’s two witnesses will be the prelude to the Second Advent of Christ Jesus. Revelation 11:11 says, “And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.” Revelation 11:12 says, “And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.” Revelation 11:15 says, “And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become [the kingdoms] of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. The Seventh Trump is the last trump to be sounded and signifies the return of our long awaited Bridegroom, Christ Jesus and His one thousand year {Millennial} reign upon the earth as "King of kings and Lord of lords."

*** Matthew 10:22 says, “And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.” Luke 21:18 & 19 says, “But there shall not an hair of your head perish.” “In our patience possess ye your souls.” “Patience” means “steadfastness, constancy, and endurance, a steadfast waiting for;” in the “New Testament the characteristic of one who is not swerved from one’s deliberate purpose and one’s loyalty to faith and piety by even the greatest trials and sufferings.” Christ Jesus will not return to this earth until the sounding of the Seventh Trump after satan appears as the first/false christ at the Sixth Trump. One must wait for one’s True Bridegroom, our "Lord of lords and King of kings", and not be deceived by satan’s disguise as the instead of jesus when we have been foretold the seven events that bring this Second or Flesh Earth Age to a close, in advance. Our Father God tells us that He will give His two witnesses the power to prophesy before satan is cast to the earth as the first/false christ and also during his reign as the instead of jesus. After their testimony is complete, and they are killed, we are taught in Revelation 11:10, “And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.“Torment” is “touchstone”, which means, “to vex or grieve one with the truth.” It is the equivalent of David’s teaching as Psalms 118:22 says, “The stone [which] the builders refused is become the head [stone] of the corner.” If one is deceived by satan’s disguise as the first/false christ, then Christ Jesus is refused by those deceived and the two witnesses will certainly be a torment to those steeped in apostasy, falsehood and deception.

*** Matthew 10:28 says, “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Ecclesiastes 12:13 says, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear {love} God, and keep his commandments: for this [is] the whole [duty] of man.” Psalms 118:6 says, “The LORD [is] on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?” Verse 7 says, “The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see [my desire] upon them that hate me.” Verse 8 says, “[It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.” Verse 9 says, “[It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.” Our Father God’s will is that all receive instruction and knowledge of the Truth of His Divine and Holy Word and that none of His children perish. This choice is for each individual, but none will be judged to die [death of the soul] before the Millennial or one thousand year reign of Christ Jesus upon the earth [Revelation – Chapter 20]. There is only one soul that has been judged and sentenced to death from within, and that is satan, the son of perdition, who is both a man and a prince [Ezekiel – Chapter 28].

John 15:22 says, “If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.” “Cloke” means, “a pretext (alleged reason, pretended cause), show oneself ostensibly.” Christ Jesus has spoken unto us the Seven Events that bring this Second or Flesh Earth Age to a close, therefore, all are without excuse in not realizing the seasons we are now living in and those things that will come to pass before Jesus’ Second Advent [Matthew – Chapter 24, Mark – Chapter 13,  Luke Chapters 17 & 21].

John 15:23 says, “He that hateth me hateth my Father also.” “Jesus is Emmanuel”, which means, “God with us.” Matthew 1:23 says, “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” There are only two choices in this Second {Flesh} Earth Age, our Father God or satan  [Deuteronomy - Chapter 30].

John 15:24 says, “If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.”  One can only hate good if one is evil, as satan, and we are taught by our Father God that He made everything good in the day when He created it [Genesis – Chapter 1]. Our Father God teaches us that He made satan perfect in the day that he was created, but that evil generated from within him [Ezekiel 28:15].

John 15:25 says “But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.” Our Father God is love and what can one find to hate in love, unless like satan, till iniquity was found in thee [Ezekiel 28:15]. Psalms 69:4 says, “They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, [being] mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored [that] which I took not away.” “To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, A Psalm of David.” “Shoshannim” means “lily of testimony; to exult, rejoice, display joy.” We shall be made to rejoice, be made glad, to leap and spring for joy after suffering persecution, affliction and tribulation over a period of time. II Corinthians 4:16 says, “For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward [man] is renewed day by day.” Verse 17 says, “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding [and] eternal weight of glory;” Verse 18 says, “While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen [are] temporal; but the things which are not seen [are] eternal.”

John 15:26 says, “But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:” Our Father God has revealed to us whom the Comforter is, the Spirit of Truth. Remember when our Father God’s election are delivered up to satan’s churches of apostasy when he is disguised as the false/first christ, our Father’s Spirit of Truth will speak through His election. Joel the Prophet and Peter the Apostle teaches us that our Father God’s sons and daughters will prophesy at that time and the Gospel will be preached around the world in one’s own language and dialect [Acts – Chapter 2].

John 15:27 says, “And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.” “From the beginning” means “from the Former or First Earth Age.” Ephesians 1:4 says “According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:” Verse 5 says, “Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,” Verse 6 says, “To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.” Verse 7 says, In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Verse 8 says, “Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;” Verse 9 says, “Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:” Verse 10 says, “That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; [even] in him:  Verse 11 says, In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:” Verse 12 says, “That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.” satan rebelled against our Father God and was overthrown in the First Earth Age. Although one-third of our Father's children rebelled against our Father God with satan, there were the chosen few who stood with our Father against satan's rebellion; thusly, many are called unto the Gospel to chose between our Father God and satan. Few, however, are chosen because they stood then and stand now with our Father God.

Our blessed Mother loved John - Chapter 15 because "God is Love", and Mom was a Mother above Mothers, always sacrificing and putting other’s before herself. This is the love that Christ Jesus said we must have one for another. This is the love that our Father God expressed when He sacrificed His only Begotten Son, for this is the love of a Parent for their children.

“Bless The LORD, O My Soul:
 And All That Is Within Me, [Bless] His Holy Name”
