"Thoughts about Burning Bush Christmas Tree"




Dear Doves:
 
I was fascinated by youtube message about Burning Bush Christmas Tree.
And thoughts came up after I watched it.

(watch 1:50-4:00)

1) It's possible that God might reveal himself of "I AM WHO I AM" during this Christmas time as 
     it's written in Exodus 3:14.
 
2) As like Moses was chosen to save his people through the burning bush, the Bride(Esther) would  
     be chosen on this Christmas to save Israel from Haman's wiles through intercessory prayers. 
 
3) It's been known that the design of menorah came from the image of the burning bush.
    And the menorah is a symbol of its mission to be "a light unto the nations."
    As I wrote in my previous letter, there was a historic menorah lighting ritual during Hanukkah
    last year with pure olive oil which was produced for the first time since 70AD.
    I thought it's the message from God that the Bride should be filled with pure olive oil to light
    the temple, and 12 months were given as like in the case of Esther.
    And it seems that this Christmas might be the time when the Bride arises and shines.
 
    "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness
     covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his
     glory appears over your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn."  (Isaiah 60:1-3)
