A Star Shinning In The Night

It seems God, in His infinite wisdom, often gives man a sign that a wonderful blessing is about to be given. The pillar of fire leading the Israelites from Egypt, a burning bush, the appearance of an angel and a star over a small village called Bethlehem are signs that prophesy is being fulfilled and a blessing is coming.
It was a star that shined over a sleeping village, not knowing the miracle that had occurred in their midst. Missing the prophetic sign, only a few shepherds and three wise men from the orient knew what was happening. Will we be sleeping when the next signs occur of his returning? Are we watching this Christmas season? Will we be able to recognize a biblical sign, or do we sleep away, content there will be another day. How could the world not know the baby Christ was here on earth?
Today, make a point to look for Christ, learn the signs, don’t be caught asleep, as Bethlehem was during their greatest moment in history!

  1. Hello! You write about the Christmas season and I want to comment on that.

    (le-havdil),What does Ribi Yehoshua ha-Mashiakhs (the Messiah’s) from Nazareths teachings imply about christmas?

    A logical analysis of the earliest MSS (based on the implications of Dead sea scroll 4Q MMT) of what was redacted to “Matthew” proves that the historical first century Ribi Yehoshua ha-Mashiakh (the Messiah) from Nazareth was a Torah-teacher.

    It is written in Torah, Devarim (“Deuteronomy”) 13:1-6, that it is forbidden to add or remove mitzwot (commandments) from Torah. This is written in Torah: “"Do not do like the practice of the land… in which you dwelled, and do not do like the practice of the land… to which I bring you, and do not walk in their traditions. Do My mi•shәpât•im′ and watchguard My khuq•im′ to walk in them." (wa-Yi•qәr•â′ 18.3). [words found in the glossaries in Netzarim www.netzarim.co.il, where you also will find the teachings of Ribi Yehoshua. ]”

    All the best, Anders Branderud

  2. I welcome you Anders all the way from Sweden. I believe and preach Christ Jesus (or Yeshua to some Messianic Jews). I have found Christ fulfilled all the prophesies of the Torah and the Talmud. Christ was the fulfillment of the covenant with Israel, and will be. I do not believe God abandoned Israel because of Christ's crucifixion, but will use the Gentiles to bring Jesus's message back to the Jews. God proved the "old testament" law could not be followed completely by man, because man cannot be righteous enough for God. It all goes back to the fall of man by Adam and Eve. God gave us a perfect sacrifice in Jesus Christ, God who became man, to wash away the sins we are born into. Works through a book of laws cannot save you, but Jesus who is revealed in a book called the Gospels, can!

    Please take some time to read a new testament alongside your old testament. Ask God to show you truth as you read, then make up your mind. It seems we Christians are always asked to have an open mind, but those asking do not afford us the same response.

    My friend, I became a follower of Jesus after many years struggling with life. I'm 51 years old. I didn't become a Christian blindly.

    Study for yourself. I pray God shows you the Light that is Christ Jesus.

    In God's Love,

    Terry
