Welcome~

Hello and Welcome~


The world is blind to these SEVEN, pivotal facts:

1. The Bible communicates Heaven’s 'Multi-millennial Strategic Plan for Humanity'.

2. There are SEVEN ages appointed for humanity.

3. We are nearing the end of the THIRD age, a pivotal turning point in this strategy.

4. A GREAT falling away from the Christian faith is predicted during the ending days of this THIRD age, as a result of backsliding, general lukewarmness and outright apostasy among the heretofore faithful. Look around and this you will clearly see.

5. Biblical prophecies have been and remain seeds of human history.

6. Yet-fulfilled prophecies, unfolding apace, are worthy of diligent study.

7. Now is the time to get and stay on ‘the right side of Bible prophecy’.

Ho! Ho! Ho! (Poem)


Yep, it’s Christmastime, and many of us look forward,
To the jolly sound of ‘Ho, Ho, Ho!’ from Santa Claus.
But with any of that, many just can’t be bothered,
Can’t greet this season with a rip-roaring applause.

If this is you, here’s something to contemplate.
It’s something that may help you to get in the flow.
Hopefully, it’ll help you to appreciate,
Christmastime as the season of …God’s ‘Ho, Ho, Ho!’

Some 7 centuries before the first Christmas Day,
God put His salvation ‘Ho!’ on full display! 1
Then when His people completed their Babylon stay,
‘Ho! Ho!’ (twice) He said, meaning, ‘Up, up, away!’ 2

See? Notions of Santa from Jesus have been stolen.
The roots of Santa’s favorite quips are thus exposed!
But ONE thing remains safe, through Isaiah bespoken:
The magnanimity of God’s gifts in Christ, disclosed.

Isaiah foretold of gifts so unique,
That God would one day send to you and me.
Let’s crack open his book and take a peek.
Here’s the trio of special gifts I see.

The first is an everlasting covenant,
That God in His own blood would personally sign.
Then add God’s thoughts in our hearts, not on parchment,
Thoughts that would shape in us His beautiful design.

Finally, there are the twin gifts of Joy and Peace:
Peace that flows like a river; Joy that’s
…indescribable!
The first gift assures the others will never cease!
Together, this triple set is
…unsurpassable!

God says…
‘Listen carefully to Me. Eat what I give.
Let your soul delight itself in abundance.
Come. Incline your ear. Hear, and your soul shall live.’
Soul food …in your ears, to nourish your essence. 4

Does this overwhelm the world’s views of Christmas?
Undeniably!

1 ‘Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price…’ (Isaiah 55:1, speaking spiritually and figuratively) Ho! is used to attract attention, and as an exclamation of surprise and delight.   
2 ‘Ho, ho, come forth, and flee/run away from Babylon, says The Lord…’ (Zechariah 2:6, KJV and NCV)
3 See: Isaiah 55:2-3, poetically paraphrased. Your essence is your eternal spirit.
