My Happy New Year Blessing to Everyone "May the Lord Bless You" - (A Judeo-Christian Blessing)


To all the Dear Brothers & Sister in Christ; I would like to wish you one & all "Happy New Year", and Bestow upon you and yours this beautiful blessings for coming days ahead. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you always! God Bless, Valerie

May The Lord Bless You

(A Judeo-Christian Blessing)


May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord make his face to shine upon you,
and be gracious to you.
May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
and give you peace.


About "May The Lord Bless You"

This blessing is known in Hebrew as the "Nesiat Kapayim" and is performed in Jewish synagogues by the Kohanim. These are priests who are direct descendants of Aaron (the older brother of Moses). The text is a quotation from Numbers Chapter 6:-
"The LORD bless you
and keep you;
the LORD make his face shine upon you
and be gracious to you;
the LORD turn his face toward you
and give you peace."
(Numbers 6:24-26, NIV Bible)

In 1970, archelogists uncovered a silver amulet with this blessing etched upon it. The find is thought to date back to the seventh century B.C., making this the oldest known remanant of scripture.

Did you know?

Christians often refer to this blessing as the "Lord's Prayer of the Old Testament".


Christian interpretation of this blessing
The biblical scholar Matthew Henry (amongst others) notes that the verse of scripture this prayer is based on (Numbers 6:24-26) foreshadows the Trinity revealed in the New Testament. The Lord is mentioned three times, and on each occassion, with a different type of blessing. The first concerns the Lords protection, associated with God the Father. The next blessing concerns God's face (in Christ) being gracious (forgiving sin on the cross at Calvary). The final line is a peace blessing. Here this may be compared with the Holy Spirit in the New Testament, which descended on Jesus like a dove. (Matthew 3:15-17). God's peace ("Shalom") is not essentially about "quiet" or the absence of noise, but about the gift of wholeness, health and well-being.

Merry Christmas - Word from the Lord: You Are At The Door & Word from the Lord: Before Christmas - RAPTURE




MERRY CHRISTMAS

MARY CHRIST MASS

My Comments:


I believe the Rapture is very near, and I believe that Zachary is sincere, humbly, God fearing young man, who believes that he has been receiving messages from the Lord, and asked everyone to pray and confirm for themselves, by asking God to confirm it to each person in prayer.  The Rapture has always been imminent, and it could happen at the exact timing before Christmas. 

Right now in my own spirit, I feel that this is a great possibility that we have finally arrived at the time.
Therefore, should, God see to it, that this is truly His chosen timing, to send Jesus to take His children home,

I will not longer be blogging here.  I hope this blog stays up for others to know the truth, what really has happened to God's people.

I want to wish everyone, a very Blessed & Merry Christmas, and hope that if you haven't accepted the Lord as your personal Savior, that you will do so, as soon as possible.  

After the Rapture, there will be 7 years of tribulation like the world has never experienced or seen before; then Jesus will return to Earth, and every eye will see Him, coming with His Angels and Saints.  Jesus & His will be victorious and win the battle at Armageddon.  The Lord Jesus, will set up His Kingdom here on Earth to rule and reign, ALL NATIONS OF THE WORLD.  JESUS IS KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS, AND HE SHALL RULE WITH A ROD OF IRON.  

Get King James Version of the Bible, read, Revelation, pray and ask God to reveal to you what lies ahead for the whole world and it's inhabitants, in the next 7 years.  Don't take the mark of the beast, in your right hand or forehead, do not worship the beast either; the beast is the Anti-Christ, and soon HE WILL BE REVEALED TO THE WHOLE WORLD, ONCE THE RAPTURE TAKES PLACE.

Remember that the Savior of the World Jesus of Nazareth, born in Bethlehem, came as a child, born of the Virgin Mary; celebrate and thank God, Jesus came, to lay His life down for all sinners willing and take it up again, in His resurrection on the 3rd day after His Death. 

He healed the sick, gave sight to the blind, made the lame walk again, deaf could hear, the dumb could speak and raised the dead.   Many miracles, teaching, preaching about God the Father and how we should live, love God and one another.   Yet the greatest things of them all, Jesus willing laid down His life in obedience to God the Father, and died for our sins, in our place on the cross.  For all have sinned and have come short of God's Glory, except the Son of God, our Lord and Savior Jesus.  

John 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  

Through Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection, we are reconciled to God the Father
Jesus is alive and coming back any time now, first at the Rapture in the Clouds, to take His Church/Bride and will return a second time to Earth, at the battle of Armageddon after the 7 years tribulation with His Saints.  He and His army will be victorious, and Jesus, will set up His Kingdom here on Earth in Jerusalem, to rule and reign ALL NATIONS OF THE WORLD.


Mary, Did You Know? [Live]



"Mary, Did You Know?" 


"Mary, Did You Know?" LYRICS
originally by Mark Lowry (lyrics ) and Buddy Greene (melody )

Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has come to make you new?
and this Child that you delivered will soon deliver you.

Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy could calm the storm with His hand?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has walked where angels trod?
and when you kiss your little Baby you've kissed the face of God?

Oh,Mary did you know.. Ooo Ooo Ooo

The blind will see.
The deaf will hear.
The dead will live again.
The lame will leap.
The dumb will speak
The praises of The Lamb.

Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day rule the nations?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy was heaven's perfect Lamb?
and the sleeping Child you're holding is the Great I Am?




Don't Discount 2013 for the Rapture Just Yet, Today May be the Day?






We have arrived, the 31st of December 2013 is here. The Last Day of this Year has arrived, and the New Year is at the door; or is it The Last Day for us here on Earth, and a departure is finally at hand? God knows the future, therefore, He knows exactly how this day will end.

Truthfully, I'm glad this year is almost over, and there is either a New Year awaiting us, or New Beginnings in Heaven in Eternity.

Will the Rapture take place today? That's a trillion dollar question, and I don't have the answer to it! I'm hoping it will, because ONLY the Pre -Tribulation Rapture has always been imminent.

All, I can say is, that either the Lord has chosen this day, the month and year for the Rapture or He has not! Will we still be here to bring in the year 2014 on our Calendar here on Earth when the clock rings 12 midnight in your part of the world? Will we be caught up and to meet Jesus in the Clouds, then taken to Heaven via the Rapture Flight just before the clock strikes 12?.

Let's remember, that no matter what does or doesn't occur, today, or the next day, we're that much closer to the day of the Lord's Coming than ever before.

Happy New Beginnings, for wherever the good Lord may lead us.
A Very Happy New Year, if we're still here in 2014.

For only God knows the EXACT day and hour and we know it is near even at the door.

Maranatha!

Long Ago a Miraculous Event Changed the World Forevermore


That Event was the Birth of our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ.








[ The Word Became Flesh ] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:1-2, 14 NIV


Matthew 1

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

The Genealogy of Jesus the Messiah

The [a]record of the genealogy of [b]Jesus [c]the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham:
Abraham [d]was the father of Isaac, [e]Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of [f]Judah and his brothers. Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez was the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of [g]Ram. Ram was the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon. Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse. Jesse was the father of David the king.
David was the father of Solomon by [h]Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of [i]Asa. Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of [j]Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah. Uzziah was the father of [k]Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah. 10 Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of [l]Amon, and Amon the father of Josiah. 11 Josiah became the father of [m]Jeconiah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.
12 After the deportation to Babylon: Jeconiah became the father of [n]Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel. 13 Zerubbabel was the father of [o]Abihud, Abihud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor. 14 Azor was the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud. 15 Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob. 16 Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, who is called [p]the Messiah.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the deportation to Babylon to [q]the Messiah, fourteen generations.

Conception and Birth of Jesus

18 Now the birth of Jesus [r]Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been [s]betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit. 19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned [t]to send her away secretly. 20 But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for [u]the Child who has been [v]conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for [w]He will save His people from their sins.” 22 Now all this [x]took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: 23 Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name [y]Immanuel,” which translated means, “God with us.” 24 And Joseph [z]awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife, 25 [aa]but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus.

The Visit of the Magi

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, [a]magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.” When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the [b]Messiah was to be born. They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea; for this is what has been written [c]by the prophet:
And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah,
Are by no means least among the leaders of Judah;
For out of you shall come forth a Ruler
Who will shepherd My people Israel.’”
Then Herod secretly called the magi and determined from them [d]the exact time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the Child; and when you have found Him, report to me, so that I too may come and worship Him.” After hearing the king, they went their way; and the star, which they had seen in the east, went on before them until it came and stood over the place where the Child was. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. 11 After coming into the house they saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they [e]fell to the ground and worshiped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. 12 And having been warned by God in a dream not to return to Herod, the magi left for their own country by another way.

The Flight to Egypt

13 Now when they had gone, behold, an angel of the Lord *appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Get up! Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is going to search for the Child to destroy Him.”
14 So [f]Joseph got up and took the Child and His mother while it was still night, and left for Egypt. 15 He [g]remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called My Son.”

Herod Slaughters Babies

16 Then when Herod saw that he had been tricked by the magi, he became very enraged, and sent and slew all the male children who were in Bethlehem and all its vicinity, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the magi. 17 Then what had been spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled:
18 A voice was heard in Ramah,
Weeping and great mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children;
And she refused to be comforted,
Because they were no more.”
19 But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord *appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, and said, 20 “Get up, take the Child and His mother, and go into the land of Israel; for those who sought the Child’s life are dead.” 21 So [h]Joseph got up, took the Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Then after being warned by God in a dream, he left for the regions of Galilee, 23 and came and lived in a city called Nazareth. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophets: “He shall be called a Nazarene.”

Celebrating Advent

Preparing for the Coming of Jesus Christ at Christmas

Celebrating Advent involves spending time in spiritual preparation for the coming of Jesus Christ at Christmas. In Western Christianity, the season of Advent begins on the fourth Sunday prior to Christmas Day, or the Sunday which falls closest to November 30, and lasts through Christmas Eve, or December 24.

What is Advent?

Image: Bernhard Lang / Getty Images
Advent is a period of spiritual preparation in which many Christians make themselves ready for the coming, or birth of the Lord, Jesus Christ. Celebrating Advent typically involves a season of prayer, fasting and repentance, followed by anticipation, hope and joy.
Many Christians celebrate Advent not only by thanking God for Christ's first coming to Earth as a baby, but also for his presence among us today through the Holy Spirit, and in preparation and anticipation of his final coming at the end of time.

Definition of Advent

The word "advent" comes from the Latin "adventus" meaning "arrival" or "coming," particularly of something having great importance.

The Time of Advent

For denominations that celebrate Advent, it marks the beginning of the church year.
In Western Christianity, Advent begins on the fourth Sunday prior to Christmas Day, or the Sunday which falls closest to November 30, and lasts through Christmas Eve, or December 24. When Christmas Eve falls on a Sunday, it is the last, or fourth Sunday of Advent.
For Eastern Orthodox churches which use the Julian calendar, Advent begins earlier, on November 15, and lasts 40 days rather than four weeks. Advent is also known as the Nativity Fast in Orthodox Christianity.

What Denominations Celebrate Advent?

Advent is primarily observed in Christian churches that follow an ecclesiastical calendar of liturgical seasons to determine feasts, memorials, fasts and holy days:

Catholic
Orthodox
Anglican / Episcopalian
Lutheran
Methodist
Presbyterian

Today, however, more and more Protestant and Evangelical Christians are recognizing the spiritual significance of Advent, and have begun to revive the spirit of the season through serious reflection, joyful expectation, and even through the observance of some of the traditional Advent customs.

Origins of Advent

According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, Advent began sometime after the 4th century as a time of preparation for Epiphany, and not in anticipation of Christmas. Epiphany celebrates the manifestation of Christ by remembering the visit of the wise men and, in some traditions, the Baptism of Jesus. At this time new Christians were baptized and received into the faith, and so the early church instituted a 40-day period of fasting and repentance.

Later, in the 6th century, St. Gregory the Great was the first to associate this season of Advent with the coming of Christ. Originally it was not the coming of the Christ-child that was anticipated, but rather, the Second Coming of Christ.

By the Middle Ages, the church had extended the celebration of Advent to include the coming of Christ through his birth in Bethlehem, his future coming at the end of time, and his presence among us through the promised Holy Spirit. Modern-day Advent services include symbolic customs related to all three of these "advents" of Christ.

For more about the origins of Advent, see the History of Christmas.

Advent Symbols and Customs

Many different variations and interpretations of Advent customs exist today, depending upon the denomination and the type of service being observed. The following symbols and customs provide a general overview only, and do not represent an exhaustive resource for all Christian traditions.

Some Christians choose to incorporate Advent activities into their family holiday traditions, even when their church does not formally recognize a season of Advent. They do this as a way of keeping Christ at the center of their Christmas celebrations.

Some are saying that Comet ISON will cause 3 days of darkness over the whole Earth, and that the Rapture will take place before Christmas.  I for one have not had any confirmation on either ISON or IF the Rapture will take place before Christmas or by the end of this year.  I have been seeking the Lord in prayer, and so far, I have not heard anything that I would consider as a confirmation.  Therefore, please use your God given discernment and seek the Lord at all times in prayers, and let the Lord confirm if this is true or not.

I'm trusting God that no matter what does or doesn't take place shortly, either way God is still in control and I trust His Divine judgment in all things.  Amen!

Look up our redemption draws nigh, God knows the exact day and hour, we know that it is very close now even at the very door!  Maranatha!  Valerie

Things to Come - The Return of Christ - Signs


JESUS IS COMING!




 
 
We are living in the days Jesus spoke about which is recorded in scripture.  Biblical Prophecies are coming to pass right in front of our eyes, as we read the news around the world. 

Read these passages from the Bible and compare to what you see, hear and read in the news daily.

It all is linked to when Israel (the fig tree) became a nation in 1948.   That  countdown of the  Second coming of the Lord, began, for it's this generation that saw Israel become a nation,  is the generation that will experience the Return of our Lord Jesus, at long last.

Do you see the signs in the Sun, moon & the stars, it's unprecedented how many signs are in the heavenlies and on Earth as well. 

The signs on Earth and Heaven, are all pointing to the return of our Lord Jesus, which is at hand.   Below is an example of one of multiply signs of the Lord's Coming Soon.


Four Comets Form the SIGN of the CROSS

 


 
On December 16th Ison forms the sign of the cross in the heavens

 Watch the video above, or go to it's link below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aH4Z26ABhbY&sns=em


On November 28th Ison will be just 750,000 miles from the sun. Will there be a CME?

On December 16th the cross forms.

In January 14-15th we pass though Ison incoming debris trail.

An article describes how Ison will soon rise in the eastern sky over the USA.

And as from the east to the west so shall the sign of the Son of man be!


 And all the nations will mourn when they see this even so come Lord Jesus.


Here Jesus was speaking of things to come during His time on Earth, which are coming pass now in our lifetime.

JESUS IS COMING VERY SOON,  DON'T MISS IT FOR THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!


LUKE 21  10 - 36

Things to Come

      10Then He continued by saying to them, “Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, 11and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.

      12“But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for My name’s sake. 13“It will lead to an opportunity for your testimony. 14“So make up your minds not to prepare beforehand to defend yourselves; 15for I will give you utterance and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute. 16“But you will be betrayed even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death, 17and you will be hated by all because of My name. 18“Yet not a hair of your head will perish. 19“By your endurance you will gain your lives.     

 20“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that her desolation is near. 21“Then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of the city must leave, and those who are in the country must not enter the city; 22because these are days of vengeance, so that all things which are written will be fulfilled. 23“Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days; for there will be great distress upon the land and wrath to this people; 24and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.



The Return of Christ

      25“There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, 26men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27“Then they will see THE SON OF MAN COMING IN A CLOUD with power and great glory. 28“But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing
near.”    

  29Then He told them a parable: “Behold the fig tree and all the trees; 30as soon as they put forth leaves, you see it and know for yourselves that summer is now near. 31“So you also, when you see these things happening, recognize that the kingdom of God is near. 32“Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all things take place. 33“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.     

 34“Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap; 35for it will come upon all those who dwell on the face of all the earth. 36“But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

Who is Jesus Christ - It's in the Bible

Jesus Christ

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
Jesus, who is divine and has existed from eternity became a man to live on earth with us. It's in the Bible, John 1:1,14, NIV. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… . The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."


 
 
Why was it necessary for Jesus to take on human nature? It was necessary to make atonement for our sins. It's in the Bible, Hebrews 2:14-15, 17, NIV. "Since the children have flesh and blood, he [Jesus] too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—and free those who all their lives were  held in slavery by their fear of death. . . . For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.”


 
 
As a human, Jesus was tempted just as we are - yet He never sinned.  It's in the Bible, Hebrews 4:14-15, NKJV. " Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.

 
 

 
 
Jesus demonstrated His divinity by His resurrection. It's in the Bible, Mark 16:6, TLB. "But the angel said, 'Don't be so surprised. Aren't you looking for Jesus, the Nazarene who was crucified? He isn't here! He has come back to life! Look, that's where His body was lying."


 
 
The apostle Paul testified to the divinity of Christ. It's in the Bible, Colossians 2:9, NIV. "For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form."
 
What is Jesus relation to the Father? It's in the Bible, John 10:30, NKJV. "I and My Father are one.”
 
 
It's in the Bible, John 14:9, NKJV. "Jesus answered...'Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.'"
Jesus is the divine Son of God. It's in the Bible, Matthew 3:16-17, NKJV. "
 


When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”



 
 
Sooner or later every man, woman and child will acknowledge that Jesus is Lord. It's in the Bible, Philippians 2:9-11, NKJV. "Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

 
 
Jesus calls people to repentance. It's in the Bible, Matthew 4:17, NKJV. "From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
 
Jesus did not come to do away with the Law, but to establish it. It's in the Bible, Matthew 5:17, NKJV. "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.
