The Christmas Star
Bible in a Year :
Habakkuk 1–3
Revelation 15
When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.


Today's Scripture & Insight :

Matthew 2:1–5, 7–12
“If you find that star, you can always find your way home.” Those were my father’s words when he taught me how to locate the North Star as a child. Dad had served in the armed forces during wartime, and there were moments when his life depended on being able to navigate by the night sky. So he made sure I knew the names and locations of several constellations, but it was being able to find Polaris that mattered most of all. Knowing that star’s location meant I could gain a sense of direction wherever I was and find where I was supposed to be.

Scripture tells of another star of vital importance. “Magi from the east,” learned men (from an area encompassed by Iran and Iraq today) had been watching for signs in the sky of the birth of the One who was to be God’s king for His people. They came to Jerusalem asking “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him” (Matthew 2:1–2).

Astronomers don’t know what caused the star of Bethlehem to appear, but the Bible reveals that God created it to point the world to Jesus—“the bright Morning Star” (Revelation 22:16). Christ came to save us from our sins and guide us back to God. Follow Him, and you’ll find your way home.

Reflect & Pray
In what practical way will you follow Jesus today? What can you do this week to share His love with others?

Dear Jesus, thank You for being the Way to my forever-home in heaven. Please help guide me by Your light today!

Western medicine has tended to view the human body as separate from its environment. The last couple of decades, however, have begun to shed light on the consequences of exposure to many different chemicals that may affect different body systems and result in constellations of symptoms and disorders previously unconnected in the medical mind.

The Biggest Archeological News in My Lifetime
By Anna Von Reitz


Most of the time I am up to my neck in current new and urgent affairs taking place right now, but as we have all learned, history --- even ancient history, has a bearing on today, and we need to pay better attention.

Some years ago when Gobekli Tepe was unearthed from its burial place in Turkey, it completely upset our notions of the chronology of human history. Now, we have received another key to understanding and dating ancient artifacts:


https://www.ancientoriginsunleashed.com/p/prehistoric-zodiacal-dating-code?publication_id=1035345&post_id=113107733&isFreemail=true'>https://www.ancientoriginsunleashed.com/p/prehistoric-zodiacal-dating-code?publication_id=1035345&post_id=113107733&isFreemail=true

Take a minute to really notice and appreciate how this new insight revolutionizes our ability to date events and gives substance to ancient history and insight into undeciphered ancient languages. We stand on the verge of being able to interpret both dates and symbols appearing on cave walls, petroglyphs, and stele worldwide that have defied translation for centuries.

Will this give us a whole new view of human history? Most likely, because it already has had tremendous impact on the archeological and astronomical communities that have heard the news and began delving into the implications.

The Cosmic Clock has been the object of study and religion since the earliest times. It should not surprise us that the more ancient our reference points become, the more varied the animal totem representations of the constellations become, too.

How else do you explain someone who has never seen a leopard or a lion, nonetheless carving remarkable likenesses of both, on a lonely stone stele standing in an empty field in northeastern Scotland ten millennia after Gobekli Tepe was purposefully covered over with millions of tons of dirt?

Our appreciation for the "new" ancient dating system is just beginning.
Like the Rosetta Stone, it will take time for academia to accept the inevitable and begin using the new information, but for the rest of us, the magic has already begun and we have our first glimpse into the very earliest signs and symbols that have built the world we know.

Pause. Take a breath.

Reach back to those long ago people who looked up into the sky, and traced the shapes of the constellations in the shapes of familiar animals and birds, from their different points of reference on the globe.

Now, we can understand why the Egyptian gods were pictured as they were in hieroglyphs, how language became symbolic, and how the stars formed a universal vocabulary for early mankind.

THE MOON SHALL

~

For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

~

Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.

~

Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.

~

And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.

~

The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining: and the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?

~

The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.

~

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of athe earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

~

But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
