Christmas
What is Christmas?
Is it a holy day that our Father gave us to worship HIM? Is it the day of His Son, the Messiah's birth?
or
Is Christmas given by church father's to use the world's ways to worship the Father the way the children of Israel substituted true worship with a golden calf?
Did they syncretize his birthday to match the day the world worshipped the sun god thereby changing the Father’s calendar as Daniel prophecied that the 4th empire would do?
*
The Father did not give us Christmas to worship Him. And, it is not His Son's day of birth.
The Key for the true answer is found through searching the Scriptures for the Father’s True Calendar.
*
“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in TRUTH.” (John 4:24)
*
With that said, if we worship HIM by way of Christmas, then we worship HIM in falsehood, not truth, no matter how good it may seem. Many of us have wonderful memories of this season. But when we come to the knowledge of truth, then we need to walk in it. Otherwise, it is golden calf worship.
*
The Father gave us HIS ways to worship HIM. Why fight changing to the way of true worship because that is what you are used to doing or it is what the many who are on the broad path are doing.
*
I choose to be set apart unto worshipping HIM in spirit and in TRUTH and to raise HIS HERITAGE IN TRUTH. I forgive those who in the church have unknowingly taught falsely. But, I must not walk in church falsehoods any longer. I am the Father's daughter, not the church's.
I have no respect for nor desire to follow that which is contrary to TRUTH as defined by YHWH's WORD.
*
I love ABBA and I love HIS ways put forth in HIS WORD. HE has given us wonderful HOLY DAYS to worship HIM and therein do I delight.
*
Messiah as the 2nd Adam was born in the spring on the 6th day of the 1st biblical month of Abib. He was then circumcised 8 days later on the day of Passover, the same day He became the Lamb of YHWH 33 years later! He was born in Bethlehem Ephrathah (The Fruitful House of Bread) at Migdal Eder (The Tower of the Flock!) where Rachel gave birth to Benjamin (Son of My Right Hand!) to foreshadow Messiah's birth!
*
There where the Shepherds were at the Tower of the Flock wrapping Temple lambs in swaddling cloth in preparation for Pesach, Passover, was also the Messiah the Lamb of YHWH!
*
Rachel first named her son Benoni (Son of My Sorrow), but Ya’akov said Benyamin instead. Messiah fulfilled both for he is Ben Yosef and also Ben David!
*
Upon this understanding we see how Messiah fulfills the Father's Holy Convocations so that we may discern correctly the times and seasons by observing His Divine Calendar so that we may not be caught unawares, but rather being the Goodman of the House who knows.
*
When we correctly apply the Scripture in full from Bereshiyt, Genesis to Hazon, Revelation then our lamp is full of oil, meaning the Spirit of YHWH within us imparts the understanding of the Scripture that we may apply it and be ready appropriately with full lamps of oil.
*
My blessings to you Mishpochah!
Let us walk rightly and in truth!
With great shalom!
