Star of Bethlehem

Interesting Reading.

I did some tonight.
It’s massive to digest.  I read it all, so it’s there but sorting through it now, and mulling it over — that is going to take a while.
What am I talking about?
Glad you asked.

The Star of Bethlehem.

Does GOD speak with Stars?
Try on this excerpt with me.   This clip was copied from the LINK above.

In the Book of Job, Chapter 9, Job credits God with creation of the stars and constellations:

He is the Maker of the Bear [Ursa Major] and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.

And in Job Chapter 38, God makes much the same point. He, not man, is sovereign over the creation, particularly the constellations:

31 “Can you bind the beautiful Pleiades? Can you loose the cords of Orion? 32 Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons…

Many other Biblical writers in many other passages state that God arranged the stars. For example, says the Book of Isaiah in Chapter 40:

Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.

And from Psalm 19.

The heavens are telling of the glory of God;
And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
2 Day to day pours forth speech,
And night to night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words;
Their voice is not heard.
4 Their line has gone out through all the earth,
And their utterances to the end of the world.   . . . source

I’m not a learn-ed woman. I’m not a scholar.
In fact, I have a saying: if I can see (understand, comprehend) it, anybody can!

So, without education other than my personal reading and hearing of Scripture, I don’t think JESUS was placed in that feeding trough on December 25. Now I can believe that He was implanted in Mary’s womb on December 25 or thereabout.  What does that do to what I read?
I don’t know. But it was interesting.

Science

Science.
Real Science. I’m giving thanks today for real Science.
Following real Science will lead every honest seeker to GOD.

Science.
Math.
Literature.
Music.
Art.
Architecture.

All these things have their origin in GOD. 
Don’t believe me? 
Read your Bible.
Cover to Cover and you will find all the above in the Literature of all literature. 
The Book of Job will be especially interesting to the honest seeker of Science. 
Here, start HERE at Job 1 – choose your translation. 

I wonder how many things we do in our society not because we have applied the science but because it’s just what we do. 
We have been told it is good and we assume they are correct. 
Are they? And who are they anyway? 

What did GOD say? 

Well, the month of November will be closing soon.
LORD willing I will continue to write, but probably not as often. :)

Dead or Alive?

Leave a comment

Admittedly, it’s my opinion, an opinion born of observation. 

The Church (by that I mean people as a whole professing to be Christians) has forgotten we have a real enemy.
The church at large, for a way long time now, conducts business as though Satan is dead or at the most just a little cartoon character with neither power nor gumption to pay us any mind. 
How about this?

1 Peter 5:8  (NKJV) 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. source

Or this one?

John 10:10  (NKJV) 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. source

And this one?

Job 2:7  (NKJV) 7 So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. source

Does this sound like someone we should just ignore, pretend he does not exist? 

Let’s look at another one. 

Mark 4:15  (NKJV) 15 And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts. source

Shall we ignore this? If we do, he is well at work just as described in Mark 4:15.

Am I suggesting we live in mortal fear of him? Hiding in our homes refusing to venture out, afraid to open our mouths? 
Nope. Just cultivate a healthy respect for a deadly enemy and a passion to abide in an intimate fellowship with our Father Who can right today send him cowering in mortal fear and eventually to the Lake of Fire forever. 

Here. Read this from Revelation 20 and have a delightful day! 

Revelation 20:1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; 
3 and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while. source

7 Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison 
8 and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. 
9 They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. 
10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. source

How’s that for encouragement?
