And this is where I'll begin the story: In ...5. And this is where I'll begin the story: In the time of King Herod's reign in Judea there was a priest named Zechariah who belonged to the priestly <b>division of Abijah</b><br />26. Then, <b>in the sixth month</b> of Elizabeth's pregnancy, God sent Gabriel to a town in Galilee called Nazareth<br />56. When Mary finished the song, she decided to stay with Elizabeth for a while, and so she did for <b>about three months,</b> and then returned to her own home.<br />57. So <b>when it was time</b> for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son<br /><br />This may have something to do with the prophetic word spoken in the service this Sunday I don’t know; you all must judge. Anyway I thought it significant in my own mind and spirit.<br />I love Christmas time; I have always thought there was something “special” about it. (don’t mess with my Christmas) Therefore I have done much research on it (even going through phase of the “evils of that pagan festival”) which led me to these very verses which to my surprise have led me to believe that YOU CAN ACTUALLY DATE the “CONCEPTION” of Jesus Christ from these verses with much certainty. Because the “course or division of Abijah” can be dated. And then counted back to the conception of Jesus Christ on or about our December 25 according to the normal period for human gestation. <br />Here is a short copy of an article in “the companion bible” composed by a well known and respected scholar first published in 1909, Dr. E. W. Bullinger.<br />Here is a link to the full article <br />http://www.therain.org/appendixes/app179.html<br /><br />280 days = 40 weeks - forty sevens, the perfect period of human gestation [7x5x8=280]. <br />The Component Numbers of 280 are highly significant in this connection. <br />7 denotes Spiritual Perfection. <br />5 denotes Divine Grace. <br />8 denotes Resurrection, Regeneration, etc. (Appendix 10). <br />1st TEBETH = 25th December (5 B.C.) <br />15th ETHANIM = 29th September (4 B.C.). <br />From 1st TEBETH to 15th ETHANIM (inclusive) = 280 days. <br />From 25th DECEMBER (5 B.C .) to 29th SEPTEMBER (4 B.C.) = 280 days. <br /><br /><br />It thus appears without the shadow of a doubt that the day assigned to the Birth of the Lord, videlicet: December 25, was the day on which He was "begotten of the Holy Ghost", that is to say, by pneuma hagion = divine power (Matthew 1:18, 20 marg.), and His birth took place on the 15th of Ethanim, September 29, in the year following, thus making beautifully clear the meaning of John 1:14,"The Word became flesh" (Matthew 1:18,20) on 1st Tebeth or December 25 (5 B.C.), "and tabernacled (Greek eskenosen) with us", on 15th of Ethanim or September 29 (4 B.C.).<br /><br />Peace,<br />DennisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-91535727019138635672009-08-31T09:58:15.318-04:002009-08-31T09:58:15.318-04:00v.58...interesting how friends and relatives just ...v.58...interesting how friends and relatives just assume, and for wanting the celebration to go "their way."<br />hmmm...does it ring a bell to anyone else other than me?<br />Oh well, they are still family, gotta love 'em AND tolerate them as well, even if they don't understand the "meaning of this, and how you want to go about things."<br /><br />v63-"His name is John!"<br />The beginnings of a new covenant message already being written ON A TABLET!<br /><br />...so let it be written...so let it be done!...a message that will cause the mute to sing and give God praise!<br /><br />74. ...and to enable us to serve Him without any fear at all...<br />75.

Only the Holy Ghost could bring together what happened today and have it flow the way it did. First, to see the place that full on a non Easter/Anniversary service was VERY COOL!, the Welcome video was AMAZING!! (Can we play it again next week? It was that good). To the message "and your cousin". Pastor D.E. has a very sweet spirit and is a living testimony of submitting your life to the Potter's hand can do. You know when I was younger I used to watch Cathedral services and LOVED their youth choir "Firebrand", and their dance ministry. I had always wanted to give the church a visit, God works in awesomely mysterious ways. I had this sense in the months following the passing of Bishop Paulk that the Cathedral would rise like a Phoenix into something beautiful. But after today the beauty was there all along, and after the trial by fire, they will come out pure gold. In the words of Humphrey Bogart, "this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship". And there were NO WORDS for the final moments of service, from total Praise to seeing you hug all your cousins embrace each other a whole, beautiful family, it was a blessing, and confirmation that this was the right thing,for the right time.

I had to read verses 59-65 again because it spoke volumes to me. I just can't tell it all but thanks for the wisdom. One thing I will share is that its so funny to me how people always assume that they know what you should do then when you don't flow in their idea they think you are crazy. They become awestruck because you better not dare think outside the box. As Elizabeth and Zechariah experienced, great things open up when you do it God's way and not what people expect.<br />Can not wait to get to church today because I know it is going to be off the chain. I'm getting there bright and early. Walking in is like walking into one of the worship rooms of heaven. The atmosphere is conducive for worship. Then at the exact momement the angels come out and the air is filled with the glory of God and voices are lifted up in praise. We brings our gifts forward that are fit for the King. Thats when it happens God himself steps out and tells us of his love for us. Not because we have been so good but just because he loves us so. He doesn't brow beat us or even remind us of those shortcomings but he says I love you so pick yourself up and run on just a little while longer. Then all too soon we must go back out to share that love with others. Okay I went on, and on, but I woke up with that on my mind and I just had to tell it. Come meet me in the place and lets worship together.Brendanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-88492093622526964112009-08-30T04:48:33.949-04:002009-08-30T04:48:33.949-04:00For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge o...For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea<br /><br />-Habakkuk 2:14Son of Zadokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10730598365284738623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-82776053302579739672009-08-30T03:48:39.816-04:002009-08-30T03:48:39.816-04:00If you have faith, like this one tiny molecule has...If you have faith, like this one tiny molecule has faith...<br /><br />All things are possible !<br /><br />http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1209726/Single-molecule-million-times-smaller-grain-sand-pictured-time.htmlSon of Zadokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10730598365284738623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-67381167015270249862009-08-30T03:24:38.193-04:002009-08-30T03:24:38.193-04:00ver:ticit

A new appearing in God materializes and comes to life inside of us. <br /><br />Unto <b>Us</b> a child is born ! <br /><br />Today is a Great Day !<br /><br />Catching up here, but it seems right on time. I was thinking earlier tonight about how the "fear" of God as some understand it, can be rooted in an victim/abuser mentality, and we know that's not the real God. <br /><br />In truth, the "fear" of God is encompassed in such an unveiling of the overpowering magnitude of communication and inspiration of grace, mercy, and love in God. We are struck into a state of consternation at the perfect ways of our God. Who can fully know them?<br /><br />Thinking on these things, I was amazed at the pure words out of the last two LITN posts.<br /><br /><i>And <b>His mercy...His compassion...His kindness</b> toward the disenfranchised and the forgotten...the ones who think and feel that they are completely invisible...<b>is on those who worship Him with a sense of awe</b>, from generation to generation and age to age.<br /><br /><b>Because of the tenderness and mercy and kindness of our God...the real God</b>...by which the sun of redemption and reconciliation will rise to bring the dawn of a new day...</i><br /><br />We find that sense of awe, that true "fear", when Spirit vision is uncovered. This admittance being revealed in us, we bless the Lord, oh our soul, ALL that is within us, blessing His holy name. <br /><br />You are beyond compare, Oh God <br />The world is standing blameless at your matchless mercies<br />Spotless and splendid are all your ways from all days<br />Foolproof and finished<br />complete and fully flawless<br />Unimpaired are You to all Your undamaged ones<br />Faithfully fulfilling all things are You<br />You design us with unbroken exactness<br />You model us in Your mercies<br />What is required from You, Oh God?<br /><br />You pour oil on our heads<br /><br />We awaken in You <br /><br />Arise<br /><br />Shine<br /><br />Your Light Has ComeSon of Zadokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10730598365284738623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-33059914035316997602009-08-29T20:51:54.407-04:002009-08-29T20:51:54.407-04:00Once Zechariah got his speech back he tried to mak...Once Zechariah got his speech back he tried to make up for lost time.<br />I may crack some jokes, but I'm truly loving what you're writing.Donaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06539338756284929311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-44279589204815241182009-08-29T17:35:25.617-04:002009-08-29T17:35:25.617-04:00Man, I didn't even notice that...must have pas...Man, I didn't even notice that...must have pasted twice...probably shouldn't be packing and writing and doing everything else at once...thanks for the heads up...Bishop Jim Swilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17367155153494024919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-41349839825095379552009-08-29T16:42:32.576-04:002009-08-29T16:42:32.576-04:00That's very good, really.
