YAHSHUA  BEHOLD, HE COMETH WITH CLOUDS; AND EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM, AND THEY ALSO WHICH PIERCED HIM: AND ALL KINDREDS OF THE EARTH SHALL WAIL BECAUSE OF HIM.  EVEN SO, AMEN. REVELATION 1:7.

YAHSHUA'S CHRISTMAS

THE BIRTH THAT CHANGED HUMAN "LIFE". HOW ARE YOU DECORATING YOUR HOUSE/SOUL FOR CHRISTMAS?

This Bible study about Christmas, about the birth of Yahshua, the Messiah and its repercussion in humanity, is divided in different sections. First, you will find a comparison chart where in one look you can see the following fundamental information divided in three columns: The history in the Bible and its parallelism with the history of Yahshua's life, then Yahshua of Nazareth’s life and its parallelism with the history of man, “Yahshua’s Christmas”, and the repercussion of the birth, life, death and resurrection of Yahshua in the history of man. Finally, commented texts about the birth of Yahshua and the situation lived in the western countries where it is celebrated, whether in a Christian or pagan way.

the BIblE HISTORY AND ITS paralelLism WITH THE history OF YAHSHUA’S LIFE

yahshua of nazaReth’s life and its parallelism with the history of man. yahshua’s christmas

the repercussion of the birth, life, death and resurrection of yahshua in the history of man

Creation. First Adam, living soul. Genesis 1 and 2.

Yahshua is the last Adam, quickening spirit. 1Corinthians 15:45.

Pre-history. Man decides his life without God. The faith in Jesus Christ reconciles us with the Father.

Noah’s ark saves those who believed from the judgment of the flood. The Gospel is like the ark, the boat of salvation.

Yahshua is born according to the prophecy. From a virgin (our soul) from the Holy Spirit and Joseph (our flesh) from the house of David. Matthew 1:18. 

 

Man is born again. Yahshua is born in our soul. Life under the law of freedom and love of God. Those who believe in Him are saved from judgement day.

Babel tower. The different tongues (ethnos) confuse humanity.

Yahshua: A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. Luke 2:32.

Man builds his society, religions and fails.

The queen of Sheba came to visit Solomon because she heard about his wisdom.

Yahshua is worshipped by the wise men who came to Bethlehem from the east. Matthew 2.

The wise from the World, kneel before the wisdom of the Lord. His Word.

God calls Abraham, the Father of faith, His friend. His descendants the 12 tribes of Israel. Joseph is blessed in Egypt.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Yahshua the son, like Isaac, the promised son. The 12 apostles.

The man who is friend of God. Jacob, seed of Abraham, the people of God, the Church. We are persecuted and blessed in the world.

Moses was born to be the guide of the people of God, and receives the Law in Sinai.

Yahshua is born and fulfils the Law for us. Spiritual law is the love of God. Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2.

Man receives the Law of the Messiah, and the Commandments for his moral. Yahshua is taken to be registered, showing us to fulfil laws in the World which are not against God.

His people leave Egypt to go to the promised land, but will have to go through the test of the wilderness.

Yahshua is taken to Egypt by his parents because His persecutors wanted to kill the King of Israel. Matthew 2:13.

Man is called from the World. Return to Egypt so that we can compare with the new mind how we use to live. We are tested by God.

Moses was instructed since he was a child in Egypt, afterwards it is God who instructs him. As much as 613 commandments in the Law of God.

 

Yahshua before the priests at the age of 12. This is the spiritual age in which the new disciple is not a child anymore and comprehends matters of God.

 

Man is interested in God, and goes to the priests and pastors of his religion to learn about Yahshua. Man  goes deeper into religion to study the doctrine and takes off whichever points are wrong, analyzing his church. What remains is what is really from God, the rest is left out.

Exit of the people of God from Egypt to celebrate the first Passover in Egypt. Exodus.

Yahshua will become the Passover, the Messiah, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the World. John 1:29.

The result of the Passover of the Messiah is the liberation of man from sin.

Crossing the red sea (the blood of Yahshua) after the entrance in the promised land. Fulfilment of the promise. Already in Joshua.

 

Yahshua is baptized by John the Baptist in Jordan fulfilling all justice. Mark 1:9.

Baptism of man, crossing to the other side of his life. Baptism is signing a contract with God accepting His forgiveness without our works or even the Law.

40 days and nights lasted the flood, 40 years in the wilderness stayed the people of Israel, to test those who were really His people.

40 days in the wilderness to beat temptation from the kingdoms of this World. Matthew 4.

 

Man passes the tests of faith. The wilderness. Loneliness before God, meditation and prayer, preparation and determination for the new life. The last chance from God: Jonas to the king: in 40 days (Nineveh, us) it will be destroyed.

 

Prophets of God sent to the kings. Moses, Samuel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, Zechariah, Malachi…

 

Yahshua, the Master, the beatitudes. Matthew 5. His ministry begins, parables that open the mind of man.

Man gives testimony of his new life with God. He begins the study of His Word. Battles with our family, with our friends of the world, etc, Evangelists to the world and the church.

...And all the nations of the Earth shall be blessed in him. Abraham. Genesis 18:18.

Yahshua and the Samaritan, God shows no partiality for people, but we must come out of our tradition and be born again.

Preaching to every man in the world, to those whose souls are from the different religions of the world. Yahshua is the Way.

Jordan is opened for the ark of covenant to cross it. Joshua 4:7. The new covenant is Yahshua who walks on the sea.

Yahshua walks on the sea. John 6:16. Quietens the great wind. He is Lord of all creation. And the World was made by Him.. John 1:9.

The disciple of Yahshua does not sink in the world thanks to his faith in Yahshua, although we do sometimes, but Yahshua is by our side to give us His hand.

The priesthood order, the instauration of sacrifices for sin. Leviticus.

Yahshua is the high priest, interceding with His own life in sacrifice. John 10:17.

Man is made a priest like our master, for love to our neighbour.

Elijah resurrects the son of the widow. 1Kings 17:17.

Yahshua does miracles. The water in wine, multiplies the bread, healings and resurrections. Quietens the great wind. Genesareth. Matthew 14:34.

Man receives blessings from God in the name of Yahshua. Incredible things and experiences that God gives us, and provides through any of us.

Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year. Exodus 23:14. If you only celebrate them to fulfill, they are iniquity, says Isaiah 1:13.

Yahshua comes to the Jewish feasts, weddings tabernacles, Passover, Shabat... These are the real feasts of God, not what Christianity celebrates nowadays.

Man must understand the spiritual meaning of the Scriptures by studying them. Saturday (Shabbat) is spiritual.

Gideon prays for a sign to obey God. 150 Psalms of king David.

Yahshua teaches: The Lord's prayer… let your will be done… and His continuous worship of the Father. Matthew 6:9.

Man is the temple of the Holy Spirit once he receives Yahshua, praises God in his heart and prays for His people. Asks God in the name of Yahshua.

But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2:4.

Yahshua said unto him: Simon …you are “Petros” and on this "petra", I shall build my church. Matthew 16:18.

Man is the church, as Simon is converted in Peter, petra or stone of faith in the Messiah, and receives revelation from the Father.

The patriarchs and the prophets are in the presence of God.

The transfiguration of Yahshua. Matthew 17.

Born again man lives in the presence of God in Yahshua.

…for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light… …they shall inherit the land for ever… …that I may be glorified. A little one shall become a thousand and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time. Isaiah 60:20.

Yahshua blesses the children. Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 19:13.

Children have not yet been programmed by religions that oppose to Yahshua. This is how we must be.

Appointment of king David and the rest of the kings of Israel.

Triumphant entrance in Jerusalem, Yahshua is the King of kings. Mark 11:21.

Man accepts that God reigns in his life. The kingdom of God is amongst us.

Solomon and Herod the Great; construction of the temple of  Herod just for the coming of the Messiah. Destroyed in the year 70 a.D. by the roman general Titus, till today…

My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations… Jeremiah 7:11, but ye have made it a den of thieves. Mark 11:17. Not one stone shall be left upon another.

Man is the temple of the Holy Spirit and his soul must be built just for the coming of the Messiah. Repent… “Change of mind”.

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. Proverbs 11:30.

Yahshua curses the fig tree. Matthew 21:18.

The man who gives no spiritual fruits and just follows religion, dries.

A man of God must wash his brethren’s feet if they sin, and let his be washed not to lose salvation.

Continuous efforts of prophets for the re-instauration of the Law of God and praise to the Lord, whenever the people turn away from the Lord.

Yahshua gives a new commandment: To love one another. John 13:31.

 

This way they will know that we are His disciples, if we have love of God one to another. The greatest love is to lay down one’s life for his “friends”. John 15:13. 1John 3:16.

That year’s Passover was the last one that had expiatory value. Yahshua is the eternal Lamb.

Holy Supper. Mark 14:12. With His intimate, not in multitude.

 

Being body of Yahshua. Meet and take it in His memory. We are the bread, His blood the wine.

The persecution of the prophets of God. …Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers: 53Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept. Acts 7:52.

Yahshua cries in Gethsemane. John 17 and Mark 14:32. He prays for us and drinks the cup of our sin. The arrest of the Messiah.

 

Church’s persecution. Today in the XXI century, missioners of the Messiah are put in prison around the World … drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Yahshua. Revelation 17:6.

Destruction of the temple, year 70 a.D. end of sacrifices.

Crucifixion of the Messiah. Death of the flesh in our place, to beat death for the sins of man. Mark 15:21.

Death of our old man. The end of the fight of our flesh against the Spirit of God. Peter denies Yahshua; before such a persecution; what about us???

Conversion of the Jews to Yahshua.

.

Resurrection of the Messiah and His 2nd coming. Matthew 28.

Man will no longer die for ever. Eternal life together with God.

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet. Malachi: 4:5.

Yahshua instructs us: …go and make disciples to all nations… Mark 16:15.

The man who is a disciple is not a mere believer; he’s a soldier of the Messiah.

Elijah was taken in the presence of Elisha. 2Kings 2:11.

The ascension of the Messiah. Mark 16:19. Acts 1:9.

The spirit of man is no longer on its own in his soul, but in the presence of God.

Elijah shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers.

Yahshua sends His promise: the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:4.

The Church until the 2nd coming. The kingdom of God is amongst us.

 

The complete history of Yahshua is focused towards man, as “…For our sakes, no doubt, this is written…” and for us died the Messiah.

WESTERN CHRISTMAS

Although we celebrate it, Christmas isn’t a feast with Christian origins; Yahshua never asked for his birth to be celebrated, but His death. The primitive Church did not celebrate it either. Is was in the IV century that the feast to god sun was already the 25th of December coinciding with the winter solstice, and to substitute the celebrations of Roman and Greek and gods of other cultures to the worship to God and the saints, which happened in times of Constantine when he converted to Christianity.

When we look at our house in Christmas and see it empty, with no Christmas decoration, it is really our soul which is empty, empty of worship to Yahshua, but we only decorate our houses - our souls - in Christmas, when it should be all year round, so that we worship every day.

In the different Christmas decoration options, the most popular one is the nativity, or the manger, which is an external sign that we are believers in Yahshua, but using carved images which are idolatry and are prohibited in the 2nd commandment; instead we should tell our children about the birth of Yahshua every week of their lives, and not use the easy way of the material manger, in the place of the more real spiritual manger: our souls.

Then as we go out to the streets we see the decorated trees and the father Christmas, imported from several cultures, giving out sweets, all the lighting, and we see how bright and shiny paganism is, with the marketing that fills our minds so that we covet the latest in unnecessary presents, when what we should really do, is not to accept the celebration of paganism mixed with the birth of the Messiah.

People’s hearts is what God really cares for, and in Christmas the majority are more receptive and compassioned, although less every time, influenced by the spirit of the material things instead of loving one another with love from God, helping the poor also by donating, something typical of Christmas when it should actually be done every month, from our salaries.

Amongst others, an analysis of the history of the Christmas tree, shows us the abominable reality. It’s the symbol of many pagan cults, embodying the cult to spirits of the dead and gods; it was used when a king died and had no sons, so to keep his power over the people it was made believe that in the tree, planted on the tomb, the dead would be alive in the tree. Presents were brought and offerings, making the typical decoration of nowadays mixing it with Christian icons, not very holy as you can see.

Also in the tree, we find a symbol of ourselves, as in the Bible, trees are compared with men; so we either give or not spiritual fruits, like trees, and we decorate them with luxury presents and shining lights, just like we do with ourselves, we give cult to ourselves with so many material things that the consumers' society sells us, but of course this is for those who can afford it, because today it’s hard to get to the end of the month.

Jingle bells, Jingle bells… goes the Christmas song, places decorated with little golden angles that remind us that God is worshipped by the cherubim, and  …He inhabits the praises of Israel. Psalm 22:3; cherubim like the ones in the Jewish temple, at the entrance, on the walls, on the curtains and in the holy places. Which reminds us that they also exist, those beings that God created above us; may God bless them so that the enemy does not deceive them.

So, this year how will you decorate your soul, with worldly things or with those from God?

Although it is not the date of the birth of the Messiah, (September/October year 6 or 7 before Christ, according to the experts in the subject), once more paganism mixing cults with Constantine, maybe with good will of government politics to increase power, but God cares for our hearts. Every day is Christmas. Merry Christmas to all in the name of Him who was born to die for us: Immanuel – Jesus Christ – Yahshua.

 

BEFORE DEVELOPING THIS BIBLE STUDY, I WOULD LIKE THE READER TO FOCUS IN THESE TWO TEXTS:

ISAIAH: CHAPTER 9

6For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever.

This is one of the clearest texts in the Bible about the birth and the nature of the Messiah. Yahshua, the Son of God, Yahweh. 

LUKE: CHAPTER 2

8And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

Today we could interpret this the following way: There were people of God in the region who kept the good news of the Messiah, to bless those people that learn with them, the things of God. Today those same pastors are waiting for the coming of the Messiah in the hearts of those to whom they preach.

9And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

The day of great joy in the highest and on earth. This is what must be celebrated in Christmas, even if the date does not coincide with the real one; This is the message that we must take to our neighbour so that God touches their hearts and for the Glory of God.

15And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven,  the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.  16And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 17And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. 18And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

All those who hear the preached message are amazed.

19But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.

Mary and any soul, when knowing the Messiah and from the Messiah, wonder about Him who has been born in her heart.

20And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

 

THE BIRTH OF THE MESSIAH: THE SON OF GOD IS BORN IN YOUR SOUL

BIBLE TEXT ABOUT THE LIFE OF YAHSHUA UNTIL THE BEGINNING OF HIS MINISTRY, WITH SPIRITUAL COMMENTS.

MATTHEW: CHAPTER 1

First of all we will take a look at the genealogy of Yahshua only to come to a conclusion about a hidden clue, you may go directly to the comment on these first paragraphs and then review it if you need to:

1The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 2Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; 3And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; 4And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; 5And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; 6And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias; 7And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; 8And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; 9And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias; 10And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias; 11And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:

12And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; 13And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; 14And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; 15And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; 16And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

17So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

14 GENERATIONS + 14 GENERATIONS + 14 GENERATIONS = 14+14+14, ó 14 x 3 = 42. Plus the generation of the sons of God since the passion of the Messiah 43 generations, or months, or times. 43 months x 30 days = 1290 days. Blessed who waits 1335 days. To find out where all this takes us to, read the following prophecy of Daniel, then we carry on with the text: 

THE END OF TIME: PROPHECY OF Daniel

BIBLE TEXT

DANIEL: CHAPTER 12

11And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.   12Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

Blessed and holy is him who awaits with faith for the coming of the time of the Messiah and believes in Him.

13But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

1290 - 1335 = 45 days is one and a half months; which represents one time (one month) and half time (half month) this is 45 days. Prophetically, it comes from the Bible text: times, time and half.

Seeking for this in the Bible prophetic clock we find the fulfilment in the crucifixion of the Messiah and the rent of the veil in the temple, and also with the destruction of the temple in the year 70 a.D. when the sacrifice is taken and the worship because there is no temple; half time of history of humanity, that may be explained in two ways:

45 days is 1.5 months, which is 1.5 as half of 3, and 3 is: the Messiah resurrected the third day, which lets us understand that the third day, or time, the same as in the third literal day, the Messiah resurrected, means that the third day of humanity alter the Messiah, the kingdom of God will come.

The other way is that the time of humanity is 7 days, like creation, seven days, half of seven is 3.5, which is explained as follows and what we call the similarity of prophetic times:

The week is 7 days, at half of the week means half of the history of Bible time and of the spiritual history of humanity, because humanity will live 7 days of 7 times, which is: Time: the time of humanity. Times: the time of the Jews from Abraham to 2000 and the time of the Gentiles from 2000. Half, is the middle of those two times, which in the history of man is how we divide it: history before Christ and history after Christ, because the Messiah came in the half or midst of time: In the midst of the week (of time) he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease: Daniel 9:27. Because Passover is the Messiah. Both prophetic texts take us to the same conclusion, the prophecy was fulfilled in Yahshua, and the prophecy of Daniel corresponds with the genealogy of Matthew and with real history.

 

MATTHEW

CONTINUATION ON CHAPTER 1

BIRTH OF YAHSHUA CALLED THE MESSIAH

18Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

Virgin Mary symbolises every soul in which the Messiah is fathered by the Spirit. She, any of us, does not consider herself worthy. This fathering does not come from Joseph as he represents our flesh, because Yahshua is born in us by faith not by works from the flesh, our moral, or our efforts of justice.

19Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly.

Joseph, our flesh, normally does not use the mind or soul, for the things of God, but to rationalize and to explain in a scientific way how things work. Therefore he wanted to leave Mary secretly, because he did not have the mind of Yahshua. It’s necessary to be born again to accept to deny oneself. 

20But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.  21And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Don’t be afraid of receiving Yahshua in your soul, for He is EMMANUEL, God with us. This is how it is prophesized that the Messiah would be born from a virgin. Isaiah 7:14.

22Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us24Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

First of all what calls our attention is the name of the son of Joseph and Mary, the angel says Emmanuel, which is God with us, and when He is born is called Yahshua, which is the Salvation of God, but salvation, who is it for? For us, which means that Yahshua’s name in reality was: God our Saviour; this is what this child who came to the world was. Yah-Shua, like Yah-Weh. There are other roots of the name of God, in the Tetragramathon YHWH which are also valid.

The Lord also makes us aware of His plans using dreams. But Joseph did not know Mary; which means he did not have marital relationship with her until Yahshua was born; this means that man does not know the Lord until the seed of the Gospel gives fruit in our mind, and that fruit is Yahshua.

 

CHAPTER 2

THE VISIT OF THE WISE MEN

1Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod

The Messiah comes to the World in the middle of the kingdom of Satan over men. Identically, the same happens in every man nowadays.

the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

Those who have a wise spirit, and also those who have in them powers from high places, come to worship Him who is the King of the spirits. This also means that the wise of the World will recognize in us the wisdom of God, which is superior to human wisdom.

3When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

The devil is troubled as he sees how his time is coming to an end in a soul where the Messiah has been born. And all Jerusalem with him, means all men of religion in the world, who know that with their works they may not justify themselves before God, that the day of the Lord has come.

4And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. 5And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judea: for thus it is written by the prophet:

The birth of the Messiah was prophesized in the Bible, and the Jews knew it and know it. Indeed, they are hard-hearted not receiving Yahshua, although today there are many Messianic Jewish who have received the Messiah, also known as the Christ.

6And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, art not the least among the princes of Judah: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.  7Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. 8And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. 9When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. 10When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. 

The wise men are a symbol of those from the world that seek for the truth in God, and that with their knowledge, sometimes even entering in dark practices and other abominations, realize that the One in front of all creation is God of all spirits. Therefore these men come to worship honour and glorify God in His Son Yahshua, sent for the salvation of the world. They offer the most precious for a king: gold, that represents spiritual richness, their own deep experiences in their heart; incense: their prayer to come to know God, and myrrh: the bitterness of their lives without God. A bit to do with what our Lord would experience, gold which is the richness of a King, in this case the King of kings, incense: His ministry of High Priest on intercession for love to man, and the bitterness of myrrh in those souls that hate Him for being full of goodness and spiritual love, souls of those who will be lost and the suffering of His passion, … they gave Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink. Mark 15:23.

12And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

 

KILLING OF THE CHILDREN

13And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. 14When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:

Now Joseph, a soul that indeed has Yahshua in him, as he has accepted him in the heart; takes the child and the mother, meaning that he carries the child in his soul Mary, and the child is the Messiah. He is instructed by the Lord to go to Egypt, in other words, to carry on living in the world, like any one, to learn to rely in the Lord who will teach him and will give him wisdom, signs and knowledge, for his life by God and to be light for others, bringing to others Him who is the Light of the World.

That we shall not leave alone others who still don’t believe, and if we do, we are hating them and the Messiah precisely does not want us to stop contact with those who are dead to the Spirit. Because the devil seeks ways to make us hate those who still don’t have faith. This is the opposite of the behaviour of the Messiah who mixes with the sinners to save them, without sinning, and giving the example to follow.

15And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son. 16Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men. 17Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, 18In Ramah was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not. 19But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, 20Saying, arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child’s life.

Once king Herod died, who represents Satan, which means, when the devil stops tempting a soul of a just converted to Yahshua, the same as he tempted the Messiah, is when he receives the instructions to go to Israel, which symbolizes to be part of the people of God: those who have received Yahshua, the Son of God, the Messiah. We will see Jerusalem as a city where the Messiah will be preached by Messianic Jews, because the Jews are beginning to recognize Yahshua as the promised Messiah, according to the prophecy of Romans 11.

21And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. 22But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee: 23And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets,  He shall be called a Nazarene.

 

CHAPTER 3

1In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, 2And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Here is John, any one who preaches the Gospel, the good news: Fear God and give Him Glory, because He saves His people by sending the Messiah. Repent: change your mind for the Messiah’s.

3For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord,

In our daily lives we cry in the wilderness when we preach the Gospel of the Lord, but when someone receives the Messiah, then we realise that God is still waiting with patience for those who open the door of their hearts to know the Truth, which is in the Messiah.

make his paths straight. 4And the same John had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey

The dress of those who preach is hair or camel coverage; the camel carries the presents to look for Isaac's wife, when the servant of Abraham, who symbolizes any one who looks for a wife for Isaac the symbol of the Messiah, who is the promised son, then the camels or angels come with us sent by Abraham, symbol of the Father, as army of God for the battle against the enemy who opposes to the ministry of finding a wife or soul for the Son of God. God covers us with angel’s dress; He makes of us the sent one, to find those souls who will be His. After you, brother, have read this: would you want God to send you and his army so they can help you finding the wife (those who believe and become disciples) for the Messiah?

5Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region round about Jordan, 6And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.

Then Jerusalem, those who are from God, listen to the Word of God from the mouth of those anointed to bring the message of the Holy Spirit.

7But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers,

To be part of the generation of vipers, means to be part of the fruit of the tree that God prohibited in Eden, whose fruit is to rely on the code of the knowledge of good and evil, which makes the moral with which to rule your life without asking nor sharing it with God; that is precisely the target of the serpent, or Satan, or viper, her generations are those who feel justified by their morals and religions or maybe by the Law of God, which was given to teach us that we are sinners and unable to be friends of God, free from a moral or conscience that accuses us when we fail. Thank God that Yahshua is our lawyer. He has already paid for us. To keep in the moral of God, we have the commandments of the Law of God, and sharing our feelings with Him. The golden serpent that Moses carried is the Law of God with which to condemn those who want to live justifying themselves saying they are trying to fulfil it instead of walking in love to their neighbours and to God.

who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance9And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 10And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Produce fruits worth of those who have changed their minds. Be the salt of the earth and the light of the world, because you carry the Messiah, because you are temple of the Holy Spirit.

11I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: 12Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

Anyone who preaches to you and baptizes you in waters of repentance, brings you the seed that makes the Messiah be born in your souls, but He is the one who will baptize you with the Holy Spirit, He will immerse you in His Spirit until the Messiah is formed in you, and the fire that will burn everything that is not His, to clean our soul from unclean spirits and make in it a worthy house for the Messiah to reign.

 

baptism of yahshua

13Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 14But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 15And Jesus answering said unto him, suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. 16And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Then the Messiah within us takes us to be baptized by that brother who has brought us the good news: that God loves us and saves us in the Messiah. Once we have a personal relation with God is when we receive the baptism in the Messiah and feel how the Holy Spirit guides us to all the Truth, and the Father confirms that He in who we have believed, Is His beloved Son in whom He is well pleased.

 

CHAPTER 4

Temptation OF YAHSHUA

1Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.

Then man is taken by the Holy Spirit to the wilderness to experience the loneliness that is felt in the world once he has chosen to follow the Messiah instead of the world, which is God's enemy. In the same way the people of the Israel were taken to the wilderness to be tested by God, many left Him, but other believed.

2And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward He was hungry. 3And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

Command that these who are living stones, in other words, those who are your fruit, those who hear the Word of God from you, are made bread; I mention this for the pastors and religious leaders who feed themselves from the power they execute over those seeking God, instead of feeding from every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.

4But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Man will not live only by seeing children of God being born, but from his direct relationship with God. Here the Messiah confirms the comment of the previous paragraph.

5Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written,  He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.  8Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

This is confirmation that the god of this World is Satan, because man gave him his power, because man wanted to begin the journey of life with his mind, without God and disobeying Him. All kingdoms of the world are of Satan, but Yahshua following His objective does not accept and follows His way to the cross, which brings to us victory over death. Now all kingdoms are legitimately His, without worshipping His and our enemy, who wanted his own king, who is Yahshua, to worship him. Victory is from the King of kings, Yahshua, and ours in Him, because we will be in His throne to His request, and which we are given.

10Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

If we rebuke Satan and fight against him, he surrenders, but he is allowed to test us, for us to decide freely which side we are on.

 

YAHSHUA BEGINS HIS MINISTRY

12Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;  13And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim: 14That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, 15The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

A reminder that the Gentiles are those who are not Jews in the flesh, in other words, the rest of humanity. Because God is just and loves all men.

16The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up. 17From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand .

Once someone has been tested in his faith, and since the moment that person begins to walk with Yahshua in His yoke, one is considered elder in the faith. From this moment, one with Yahshua, begins the ministry of ambassador of the Gospel, in the places where one lives.

18And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 19And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

Yes, let’s imitate our Master and therefore invite others to become People of God or fishers of men, so they also announce the Gospel, and those who are People of God will come to Yahshua.

20And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.

They, leaving the networks of the World, followed Him.

21And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. 22And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him. 23And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. 24And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them. 25And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from beyond Jordan.

From here the Lord is in deep fight in His ministry of intercession.

 

THIS IS THE LAST TEXT THAT WE WILL STUDY. THE BEST DESCRIPTION OF WHO HE WAS, WHO HE IS TODAY, AND THE REPERCUSSION OF THE COMING OF THE SON OF GOD TO THE WORLD:

JOHN’S GOSPEL

CHAPTER 1

1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not…  …9That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name13Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Yahshua, Jesus Christ, existed before creation because it was Him who created the Universe and the heavens, the eternal region. Man exists in the mind of God before creation, each of us in particular, because God loves us all. It’s Christmas, God loves you, open your heart so that the Son of God is born in you. This is the best present… Is it Christmas in your soul? Hallellu-Yah!

 

  • Your want to know God, but you know the way is not through organized religion,, nor by sects, nor by society. The world has failed. ...I pray for them;  I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours... John 17:9. Prayer of Yahshua, Jesus Christ.


  • For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Prophecy of Isaiah 9:6.


  • I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Words of Yahshua - Jesus Christ. John 14:6.
  • If you really seek God, begin today the new life though the true hand of God. The Gospel is the message for all nations, no matter their race, their origins or culture. God is the saviour of those from humanity who open their hearts to Him.


  • ...Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.  1Corinthians 15:58.
