Hello, John and
Doves,
Here is a
scripture that bears looking at besides at Christmastime:
"For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the
government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
"Of the increase of [His] government and peace [There will be] no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and
establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even
forever. The zeal of the LORD of
hosts will perform this."
Isaiah 9:6-7
Sometimes, it is
easy to forget that the LORD has more of a stake in bringing His Word
to pass than we have.
It is written,
"Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
"That at the name of Jesus
every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth,
and [things] under the earth;
"And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ
[is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2:9-11
And yet you may
read,
"I will worship 7812
toward thy holy 6944
temple 1964,
and praise 3034
thy name
8034
for thy lovingkindness 2617
and for thy truth 571:
for thou hast magnified 1431
thy word 565
above all thy
name 8034."
Psalm 138:2
Finally,
"God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time
past unto the fathers by the prophets,
"Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he
hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
"Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express
image of his person, and upholding
all things by the word of his power, when he had by
himself purged our sins, sat down on
the right hand of the Majesty on high;
"Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by
inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they." Hebrews
1:1-3
A king who has
sat down has already won the war. Armageddon is simply dotting
the i's and crossing the t's.
Baruch HaShem
Adonai,
