At Christ"s first coming, there was an announcement from the heavenly realm by an archangel(Gabriel) to Mary. There was a sound from heaven to the shepherds in the fields through the angelic realm heralding the birth of a Savior. There was the sound of a cry from the manger as a newborn sacrificial lamb made His presence known. As He prepares to make His second coming a reality, there will be another sound from heaven. There will be a shout from the King of Glory, a voice of the archangel(Gabriel) and with the sound of the trumpet of God!(1Thess.4:16) Surely the mountains will shake, the dead in Christ will rise and enemies will flee! The King is coming! His shout is like the roar of a lion. Yeshua is one and the same a sacrificial lamb and a roaring lion.(Revelation 5:5-6). He who died on the cross as a suffering servant is the same one coming back as a conquering king! In this season of light, let's celebrate the newborn King, His virgin birth, the beauty of who we celebrate. At the same time let us anticipate the sound of heaven announcing His triumphant return! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Exodus 34:6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering , and abounding in goodness and truth... In this verse IS the disposition of Messiah. The early church used this important verse to judge prophecy and conduct in the church atmosphere. There were three elders who were in charge of hearing and deciding if what was said and done in that time was in the disposition of Messiah. In this very shaky and explosive time we are living in (exciting & wonderful time I might add) it would serve us well if we would write this verse on the tablet of our heart and in every circumstance, situation we find ourselves apply it rightly and justly. By doing this, we, as the body of Christ, will start looking like the "church" the public has never seen!!!
