We live in troubled times. The 7 years of God's End Times likely begin on or about Sept. 17-28, 2020 with many tribulations occurring soon thereafter (ie. evil events by Satan &/or judgements by God).

If you suddenly die before you are a Born Again, True Christian, you are doomed to eternity in Hell. With End Times starting soon, many more people (thousands to millions to billions more) will die through Satan's evil plans. DO NOT ignore this warning, nor procrastinate!

Here is what you need to know, and take immediate action on:

Step 1 of 3 to WW3

Today, President Donald Trump gave his speech at World Economic Forum (WEF), in Davos Switzerland.

Trump presented a long list of amazing improvement for USA and the world since taking office 1 year earlier. I haven't fact checked this long list, but will leave that task for others.

Davos treated him with subdued respect and tolerance, perhaps as they might if Hitler had given a speech there in 1938, just before WW2. 

 Trump's audience was perhaps scared of the personal consequences to them if they spoke out, or made a scene, so as to cause Trump to feel a need to retaliate against them.

I had previously proposed today, Jan. 21, 2026, as a Sum=68 day (ie. 1+21+20+26= 68) as Step 1 of 3 towards WW3.

CNN states that a Russian-Ukraine peace deal is now almost impossible after Trump's speech.

https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/21/europe/analysis-ukraine-greenland-trump-davos-latam-intl

Ukraine got badly hit by a Russian attack on Kyiv on the 20th, so half of the city is now without heat &/or electricity.  But that occurred on the 19th, not the 21st, so is not likely what was anticipated.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwy1lpgqenxo

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/21/russia-ukraine-war-list-of-key-events-day-1427

I see nothing else for Ukraine that seem significant for WW3.

For Israel and Gaza, I don't see any major, obvious event pushing us significantly closer to WW3

https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2026-01-21/ty-article-live/trump-we-think-we-know-the-location-of-body-of-the-last-israeli-hostage-in-gaza/0000019b-de80-d195-a9bb-de81cb990000

Araghchi, Iran's Foreign Minister lost his invitation to Davos on the 21st, over the massive killing of Iranian protesters.  On the 20th, he was allowed to post an OP-Ed article in WSJ, justifying Iran's actions, and directly threatening the US if they intervene.

https://www.wsj.com/opinion/irans-regime-defends-its-crackdown-46a2f59a

Therefore there is nothing pushing to WW3 on the 21st from Iran.

I see nothing remarkable, from neither China nor Venezuela, as to WW3.

I therefore conclude, if an event has occurred that moved us another step closer to WW3 (and I am not certain it has), then it is likely Trump's speech at Davos, at the WEF meeting.

Trump at Davos

I posted the following comment on WEF's YouTube Channel for Trump's speech:

The evil ones of the world, who historically skimmed parasitically off most efforts achieved. are likely greatly threatened by Trump, and his future plans. 

The evil powers will soon command the bear to rise and devour much flesh as prophesied in the Bible, at Daniel 7:5. The 3 ribs in the bear's mouth are likely USA, UK, and France; the only 3 NATO countries with nuclear weapons. 

The WW3 method used will likely follow the 1986 prophecies of Henry Gruver, where he had a vision of a Russian nuclear attack upon USA. It will be at least 7 nukes, 3 East Coast USA, 4 West Coast USA.

Nuked sites in N. America are likely NYC, Washington DC, Miami, Seattle, San Francisco, LA, & San Diego.
 

Note that this vision was before the collapse of USSR in 1991. Note in his prophecy, he refers to “Russia", and never refers to “USSR”. In 1986, nobody knew about the collapse of USSR in 1991, 5 yrs. after the vision. Almost everybody, including so-called USSR experts, was shocked in 1991 when the USSR suddenly collapsed.

WW3 will likely be over in 24 hours, with 2 billion dead or dying, as prophesied in Bible Rev. 6:7-8.

[Rev 6:7-8 KJV] "7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."

 After that will be the rise of the AntiChrist, as the evil dictator over all of Earth for 7 years, then the 2nd. Coming of Jesus Christ.

Warning to Atheists, Christians, & Everybody Else

With 2 Billion dead or dying with WW3, if we assume it is equally distributed between Christian's & non-Christian (as I have no reason to assume otherwise), there are 2.3 billion Christians today, so 28.75% of the world population, so that would be 575 million Christian's, and 1.425 Billon non-Christians who die in WW3.

Based on surveys I and others have done, I estimate for N. America 0.5% of Christian's are Born Again Christians with an intimate, lovingly obedient relationship with Jesus Christ as their God, LORD, Messiah, Saviour, King, and friend.  That equates to 2.875 million who are likely saved, with their names still in the Book of Live, who come home to God early.

That means that 572.125 million Christians (28.6% of the dead) who die in WW3 are:
  • luke-warm; or
  • have favorite sins that they chronically love to practice as iniquity, and are therefore workers of unrepented iniquity, and therefore likely died in their sins; or
  • deceived pseudo-Christians who are members of cults; or
  • Self-righteous Christians, with a false works-based pseudo-salvation  without reliance on Jesus Christ; or
  • Hypocrites; or
  • Wolves in sheep's clothing; or
  • Reprobate-minded with strong delusion; or
  • Similar defects in their salvation.
The 1.425 billion non-Christians all died in their sins, so have no expectation of salvation.

Therefore there are 1.977115 billion (ie. 99.85625%)
 who die in their sins, and just 2.875 million (ie. 0.14375%) who are saved to an eternal life of love, joy, peace, and fulfillment during WW3.

Pretty sad statistics, for saying humans had 2,000 years to perfect our knowledge of God, and God's rules about salvation.

The Solution

The above calculated odds aren't good.  

You have a 25% chance of dying in WW3, and if you do die, you have a 99.856% chance of dying in your sins.

That means you have a 24.964%  chance of dying in WW3, and ending up in Hell (ie.  0.25 × 0.99856 × 100%= 24.964%).

If you die in your sins, you will eventually be  resurrected by God for your trial at the Great White Throne, found guilty, then thrown alive into the Lake of Fire, where there will be no rest, neither day nor night, but burning and torment for ever & ever.  There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

If you survive WW3, there are only two choices:
  • Hope for God's post-WW3 revival, where you are scared straight, with a "Come To Jesus" moment, and are finally truly saved
  • You die in your sins through persecution by the AntiChrist.
Instead, I suggest you protect yourself and your family, by reading the following ASAP, and following the recommendations:

https://et-manitoulin.blogspot.com/2019/12/gods-26-commandments-for-christians.html

I suspect, based on Bible prophecy, and the signs in the planets and stars, that  WW3 will occur some time between today and March 19, 2026 (3+19+20+26= 68).  That gives you less than 57 days to take immediate, urgent, high priority, corrective action to save yourself, your family, and friends.

If you are totally jaded &/or deceived, please pass the link on to a friend who cares.

Property Confiscations Soon?

The Norwegian government sent 13,500 letters to citizens, informing them "preparatory requisitions" may soon be necessary for defense in war;  confiscating their homes, vehicles, boats,  machinery, etc.

https://www.vigilantfox.com/p/something-deeply-disturbing-is-happening-99d?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=975571&post_id=185244041


https://www.euronews.com/2026/01/19/norway-advising-citizens-of-preparations-for-wartime-property-requisitions-military-says

WEF and its minions promoted their New Economic Order and Financial Reset with:

"You'll own nothing, and be happy!"

When they take our stuff, will we be promptly & fairly compensated?

For example, if I'm still paying the new car loan when they take my new car, will they pick up (or cancel) my payments for the car they took?  

Alternatively, am I stuck, continuing to make monthly car loan payments for a car I no longer have?

Is Norway the only country polite enough to warn their citizen about what soon comes?

Is Normay a fearmonger?

Time will tell.

Remember, God owns everything, and God will protect and defend the righteous.

[Mat 6:34 KJV] "34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."

Trump's Board of Peace

 Amit Segal raises many valid concerns about Trump's Board of Peace:

"... Trump’s new “Board of Peace” doesn’t mention Gaza, Palestinians, or reconstruction at all. 

Instead, the charter focuses on member states, leaders, and voting procedures. According to the document, each country gets a three-year free trial—but a billion dollars buys you a permanent seat at the table. 

And who holds the power to interpret the charter, dissolve the board, and appoint his own successor? The chairman, of course—Donald J. Trump.

So yes, it looks a lot less like a reconstruction plan for Gaza, and a lot more like a demolition of the UN...."

https://x.com/AmitSegal/status/2013618258058854630

Re-posted, in part, by Amir Tsarfati here:

https://t.me/beholdisraelchannel/67766


My Interpretation

In addition to Amit's valid concerns and questions,  I suggest this Board of Peace will soon become (ie. shortly after WW3, likely occurring on or before Mar. 19, 2026) the AntiChrist's tool for his evil dictatorship over all the Earth.

I therefore suggest there will likely be, ultimately, 10 members to this Board, one for each of the world's zones; just as prophesied in Dan 7:23-24

[Dan 7:23-24 KJV] "23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. 24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings."

The 3 kings subdued by the AntiChrist are likely the USA, UK, and France; the only 3 NATO  nations with nuclear weapons, who are likely the 3 ribs in the teeth of the bear, when he (Russia) is commanded to rise and devour much flesh in Dan. 7:5.

[Dan 7:5 KJV] "5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh."


Get Safe

The only safe place is under the protection of God, the One and only God, Creator of Heaven and Earth, the God of the Holy Bible.

Psalm 91 says 1,000 to your left will fall, and 10,000 to your right, but the pestilence will not touch those who are a child of God.

Killing Deep State Parasites

 This is big news:

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/globalist-deep-state-panic-mode-after-trumps-cash-cut

Trump is on the move.

If USA will no longer be the cash cow to fund the Deep State, and Trump is using the USA to cut off all other cash cows for the Marxist-Leftist-Deep State operations around the world, then it's a life or death struggle:

USA vs. Marxism-Left-Islamists

Trump vs. Deep State

Trump & the USA must be stopped before they destroy all of the parasitic plans of the evil ones.

While this sounds like Good vs. Evil, we need to consult with God, for God knows best.

This isn't the first time that God has had to clean house.

Of course, there was man's fall from the Garden of Eden.  

Next, the Fallen Angels misled humans into total depravity, requiring God to raise up Noah, the Ark, and the Great Flood.  

After the Flood, Nimrod thought he had a better idea, with a One World Government and the Tower of Babel.  God had to confuse man's one language into many tongues, creating many independant nations; thereby slowing or stopping Nimrod's evil plans.

Next, King Nebuchadnezzar had become the most powerful of all man's governments, so God used him to defeat His wayward, evil family in Israel and Judah.

Nebuchadnezzar went way beyond what God commanded, with evil, cruelty, arrogance, and blasphemy; so God brought 7 years of madness and grass eating for the former King.  Nebuchadnezzar's offspring weren't much better, so God brought King Cyrus to totally destroy Nebuchadnezzar's dynasty, and Babylon itself.

The gold, silver, bronze dynasties prophesied by Nebuchadnezzar's idol statue and dream have all come and gone.  The Greek-Roman empire, represented by the iron legs of Nebuchadnezzar's dream have been with man for more than 2,000 years.

The right leg is now at war with the left leg, so that both are soon destroyed, thereby clearing the way for AntiChrist's evil One World kingdom.

Two thousands years ago, God prophesied in the Book of Daniel, and again in the Book of Revelation  about Mystery Babylon, and the Scarlet Woman, The Whore; who was riding the 7 headed beast.

It appears that these enemies of God are the USA.

God is using Trump and the USA to self-cleanse the USA of its parasites by the Deep State-Marxists-Islamists parasites. The Marxist-Left-Islamists will soon retaliate, attempting to save themselves by  attacking Mystery Babylon and the Whore.

God isn't interested in the apparatus of state, God is interested in the people trapped within all evil states, held as slaves of the evil states.

True freedom is coming for all enslaved people, all around the world.  God will soon deliver judgment on the evil apparatus of evil governments that abuse God's people.

Witness the thousands of Christians slaughtered in Africa by Islamists.

Witness ~12.000 Iranian civilians killed for protesting against the repressive Islamic State of Iran.

The Millenial Kingdom of King Jesus is coming soon.

I suggest our self-destruction will likely occur in 3 additional stages:

Jan. 21, 2026 where:   1+21+20+26= 68

Feb. 20, 2026 where:  2+20+20+26= 68

Mar. 19, 2026 where:  3+19+20+26= 68

These dates have signs in  the planets & stars, plus they follow the previous Sum=68 pattern:

WW1 began: 7/28/1914  so:  7+28+19+14= 68

WW2 began: 9/1/1939   so:   9+1+19+39= 68

The current conflict in Ukraine vs. Russia began on 24 February 2022  so:   24+2+20+22= 68

Like WW1, WW2, Russia-Ukraine War; and now I suggest WW3, their start dates all add to 68.

God told us that the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars are for marking day, night, months, years, and signs.

Here is what I see on these 3 critical dates:

The Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars are in a major conjunction, with Mars in Sagittarius.

The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Moon, Mars, and Saturn are in a parade of the planets, with Mars (war planet), in Capricorn, where Capricorn may represent Iran.

The Sun, Mercury, Mars, and Saturn are still in a parade of planets, this time with Mars exactly in the water stream of Aquarius.

These three dates likely bring us closer & closer to WW3, with nuclear war and WMD's, likely described in the Bible by Daniel 7:5 (bear= Russia, 3 ribs destroyed= USA, UK, and France, the 3 NATO countries with nuclear weapons), and as described in Rev. 6:7-8 with the pale horse with Death and Hell, where 1/4 of the Earth are affected.

This likely means that of the 8 billion humans on Earth today, 2 billion will be dead or dying from WW3; all over in less than 24 hours.

After that, will be the rise of the AntiChrist, as the evil dictator over all the Earth.

After 7 years of hell on Earth, look up, for our Saviour Jesus Christ will then return to save the righteous Born Again Christians. 

If you are not yet a Born Again, lovingly obedient Christian with an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, you (ie. a deceived Christian, luke-warm Christian, self-rightrous Christian, hypocrite, wolf in sheep's clothing, pseudo-Christian who follows a cult, agnostic, atheist, or a heathen) are all in trouble, and great danger.

Get ready for what soon comes, by fearing God; learning about God through His holy word in the Bible; loving God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength; loving all others as yourself; forgiving all others, and holding no bitterness; developing an intimate, lovingly obedient relationship with Jesus Christ as your God, LORD, Messiah, Saviour, and friend. After receiving the fiery baptism of the Holy Spirit as a Born Again Christian, you will receive sufficient strength to get all iniquity (ie. wilfull, premedidated, or chronic sin) out of your life, so that you hate all sin (retaining no favorite sins), just as God hates all sin; and you will love all things that God loves.

To help you quickly achieve the above transformation, I offer God's 26 Commandments for Christians, a quick summary of 300+ Bible verses, and a prayer:

After Venezuela, Get Ready for WW3

By Venezuela, Trump has wacked the hornet's nest, and they will soon respond. 

In the Bible, Daniel 7:5 describes the bear, who is commanded to rise, and devour much flesh. I think that means WW3, with 2 billion people dead or dying within 24 hours from the start of nuclear war. The bear (ie. Russia) has 3 ribs in its mouth, which likely represent USA, UK, and France; the only NATO countries with nuclear weapons. 

God said the Sun, Moon, & stars are for days, nights, signs, seasons, and years.

Jupiter entered the constellation of Gemini on Dec. 27, 2025; just as it did July 4, 1776; start of US Civil War; US troops into the Viet Nam war in 1965; 9/11; etc. 

The start of WW1, WW2, and Russia-Ukraine War all start on Sum=68 dates.  

WW3 will likely begin sometime on or between Jan. 21, 2026 (1+21+20+26= 68), and Mar. 19, 2026 (3+19+20+26= 68).  

There is no protection for you & your family, except through God. 

Get ready for WW3 by humbly & contritely confessing all your sins to God; repenting your sins (ie. permanently turning away from your favorite sins, then turning back to God); fearing God; learning about God; loving God with all your heart, mind, soul & strength; loving all others as you love yourself; forgiving all others & holding no bitterness; hating all sin just as God hates all sin; loving all things that God loves; establishing an intimate, lovingly obedient relationship with Jesus Christ as your God, LORD, Messiah Ssviour, and friend.

High Watch WW3 on March 19, 2026

Erin, an End Times Prophetess of God, posted her latest prophecy on Dec. 19, 2025 that seems, as I am interpreting it, to suggest WW3 will likely occur on March 19, 2026

Here is her prophecy:

I am not a Prophet, so my interpretation may be way off.  For what it's worth, here are my thoughts:

The Russians who fought against the Communist Revolution (ie. The Reds) in the Civil War of 1918-20 were called "White Russians." ("Belye Russkie" in Russian). Note that this is different from the ethnic group of White Russians (ie. "Belorussy" in Russian).

The white, non-polar bear likely represents non-Communist Russian bear.

I suggest this is a continuation of Erin's previous dream, of the injured sick bear she prayed over.

I suggest the 3 bears signal 3 months.

The wobbly bear is today and the next month. The injured bear is 2 months from now. The almost dead bear is 3 months from now.

Erin's dream was Dec. 19, 2025. Three months from that is March 19, 2026.

This date (3+19+20+26= 68), is just like:

WW1 began: 7/28/1914
7+28+19+14= 68

WW2 began: 9/1/1939
9+1+19+39= 68

The current conflict in Ukraine vs. Russia began on 24 February 2022

24+2+20+22= 68

Like WW1, and WW2, and Russian-Ukraine War, their start dates all add to 68.

The avalanche likely represents WW3, nuclear war, which kills everything in its path of destruction.

According to the Bible, 1/4 of the Earth is killed in WW3.

[Rev 6:8 KJV] "8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."

Dan. 7:5 has the bear commanded to rise and devour much flesh. That bear has 3 ribs in his mouth, likely representing USA, UK, and France; the 3 NATO countries with nuclear weapons; and also the 3 main antagonists of Russia, constantly poking the bear.

[Rev 18:10 KJV] "10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come."

Mystery Babylon is on many seas, on 7 mountains, and is the richest, most powerful nation, and has badly corrupted the entire world.

A modern religious movement called the Seven Mountain Mandate reinterprets this as seven cultural spheres (Family, Religion, Education, Media, Arts, Entertainment, Government) that Christians should influence to bring God's kingdom to earth, with some modern interpretations connecting Babylon's power to Western nations like the USA.

I therefore suggest USA is Mystery Babylon. Unlike Ninevah that repented its sins in sackcloth and ashes, USA continued in its sins, and is therefore about to be judged by God by using Russia as the tool of God's punishment.

One hour destruction likely signals WMD's (Weapons of Mass Destruction ie. biological, EMP, nuclear weapons, etc.); all of which Russia possesses.

In 1986, Prayer Walker Henry Gruver had a vision of a Russian surprise nuclear attack on USA and UK.

It will be at least 7 nukes, 3 East Coast USA, 4 West Coast USA.

Nuked sites in N. America are likely NYC, Washington DC, Miami, Seattle, San Francisco, LA, and San Diego.

https://youtu.be/tj23b8LyTx8?list=PL...uTbFOsI8dWTU_Q

Russia will be aided by China (red dragon); possibly N. Korea, and others?

Jupiter will be in Gemini from Dec. 27 2025 till May 21, 2026. Jupiter was in Gemini at:

USA's birth: July 4, 1776;

USA's Madrid Fault Quake: Dec.16, 1811

From 1965-9-18 to 1965-11-20 Jupiter was in Gemini. Viet Nam War for US troops was from 1965 to Mar. 29, 1973. As Jupiter entered Gemini on 1965-9-18, US troops in Viet Nam had their first major battle with Viet Cong troops at An Ninh on the same day.

For USA's terrorist attack on Sept. 11, 2001, Jupiter was in Gemini from 2001-7-14 to 2002-7-23.

For USA and Israel attack Iran: Jun 13-21, 2025, Jupiter entered Gemini on 2025-6-13.

My Conclusions & Recommendations

God loves you, and all of His creation.  God  want you to be a part of His loving family for all eternity.

Unfortunately, I sense there are many so-called Christians who are in terrible danger, but they don't realize it.

We are all sinners, and everybody occasionally sin, but only ~0.5% of Christians usually try to meet all of God's expectations.

The other 99.5% of so-called Christians chronically rebel against God; as they are luke-warm at best, or backslidden, or hypocrites, or wolves in sheep's clothing.  If they refuse to change their lifestyle of chronic, favorite sins; then they won't make it to heaven.  Instead, God will judge them, find them guilty, then throw them into the Lake of Fire, where they will have no rest, neither day nor night, but suffer burning & torment for ever & ever, with gnashing of teeth & weeping.

The greatest danger isn't from the government, nor terrorists, nor criminals, nor war.

The greatest danger Christians face are incorrect assumptions.

Jesus saw the same erroneous assumptions in His day, and strongly warned the Pharisees and the people.  The Pharisees & most others thought they understood the scriptures (they didn't), and they thought they were made righteous by all their religious rituals (they weren't).

Here is what I understand God expects from those seeking salvation:  

Fear God, for this is the beginning of wisdom, and pleases God.  Know God through reading His Word in the Holy Bible, for this is worthy of boasting.  Believe in God and His Son, Jesus Christ, who is fully God and fully man. The wages of sin is death.  Jesus willingly died for the sins of all humans, paying the price for all the sins of those who truly believe in Him, and His teachings, and follow Him.  Love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength.  Love all other humans, as you love yourself.  Forgive all the trespasses of others, and hold no bitterness.  Decide that Jesus Christ is your God, LORD, Messiah, Saviour, and friend.  Humbly & contritely confess all your sins to God; and to each other.  Choose to hate all sin, just as God hates all sin, and love all things that God loves.  Decide to let your old sinful self, a child of Satan, to spiritually die off; so that you can be spiritually Born Again as a loving, obedient child of God.  Get baptized by full water immersion in the name of God The Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.  Pray for & receive the fiery baptism of the Holy Spirit. Get all iniquity (ie. willful, premeditated or chronic sin) out of your life. Trust in God's promises that He will ensure that no temptation exceeds what you can resist, and God will ensure there is always an avenue of escape from all sin & temptation; therefore there is no valid excuse for sinning. Speak to ourselves in psalms, hymns, and spiritual song, making melody in our hearts to the Lord.  Humble & forsake yourself and your fleshy desires by picking up your cross daily and following Jesus,  becoming a fisher of men, sharing your testimony and preaching the Gospel to every creature.  Resist &/or flee from temptation & sin, do good works, be the salt of the Earth, and a light to the world; all for the greater glory of God. Believe in, manifest, guard, and promote with others the Fruit of the Holy Spirit:   faith, longsuffering, patience, meekness, gentleness, temperance, goodness, righteousness, godliness, joy, peace, truth, and love.  Watch! while we occupy until He comes.  Develop an intimate, loving, obedient relationship with Jesus Christ by reading the Bible every day, praying continuously,  meditating on God's word every day, fellowshiping with other Christians, worship and praise God & do holy communion on a regular basis.  When you fail, stop quickly, confess & repent your sins, then pray for God's help to strengthen yourself so as to better resist all same & similar sins in the future.

That is when you are truly safe.

Merry Christmas: Its Origin

 Merry Christmas

On December 25, in the year 4 BC (Tevet 10 on the Hebrew calendar) the Holy spirit came upon the virgin Mary, causing her to conceive.  I suggest that the Christian celebration of Christmas on Dec. 25th is additional evidence that life begins at conception.

[Luke 1:35 KJV] "35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God."

[Matthew 1:18-20 KJV] "18 Now 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. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. 20 But 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."

Nine months later, likely on September 29, 3 BC (God’s Feast of Tabernacles, Tishri 15 on the Hebrew calendar), Jesus Christ was born in the town of Bethlehem, located in present day Israel.

We know these dates from the Dead Sea Scrolls, clues provided in the Bible, astronomical signs, and Bible prophecies.  For example:

1,800 years before Jesus’ birth, God told Abram:

[Gen 12:2-3 KJV] "2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."

Around 700 years before Christ was born, the prophet Isaiah wrote,  

[Isa 7:14-15 KJV] "14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. 15 Butter and honey shall He eat, that He may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.”

[Isa 9:6-7 KJV] "6 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. 7 Of 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. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this."

and Prophet Micah wrote:

[Mic 5:2 KJV] "2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall He come forth unto Me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting."

About 600 years before Jesus was born, the prophet Jeremiah wrote:

[Jer 23:5 KJV] "5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth."

Depending on how you interpret the Bible, there are between 44 to 300 Bible prophecies about the “Coming Messiah”, all of which were fulfilled by Jesus Christ; as God, the only begotten Son of God, Son of Man, LORD, Messiah, Saviour, and friend of all humans.

[John 3:16-18 KJV] "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.  17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.  18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."


Everybody is Commanded

We are all called to have an intimate, lovingly obedient relationship with Jesus Christ as our God, LORD, Messiah, Saviour, and friend.

In John 14:15 KJV, Jesus is recorded as saying: 
"If ye love Me, keep My commandments."

[1John 2:4 KJV] "4 He that saith, ‘I know Him’, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him."

[1John 5:2 KJV] "2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep His commandments."


May you find peace that surpasses all understanding, and many blessings through choosing to be an obedient child of God.


Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
