@JennyStreeter3@HoustonChron I guess I’m missing the context. He just said it was already reported…. I haven’t read or thought about the Chron in years when their unfiltered politic bias started showing
İsa Mesih’in Beytlehem’de bir yemlikte doğduğunu ve ilk ziyaretçilerinin çobanlar olduğunu herkes bilir. Ama işin içine tarihsel "Efrata" detayını kattığınızda, o bilindik doğum sahnesi bambaşka ve tüyleri diken diken eden bir anlama bürünüyor.
Eski Ahit’te Mika peygamber (Mika 5:2), Mesih’in doğacağı yeri bildirirken sadece Beytlehem demez, özel olarak eski adını kullanır: "Ama sen, ey Beytlehem Efrata, Yahuda boyları arasında küçüksün; yine de İsrail’i yönetecek olan Biri senden çıkacak."
Peki neden özellikle Beytlehem Efrata ve neden ilk müjde oradaki çobanlara verildi?
Beytlehem Efrata bölgesi, Kudüs Tapınağı’na sadece birkaç kilometre uzaklıktaydı. Yahudi sözlü geleneğine (Mişna) göre, Efrata çayırlarında ve oradaki "Migdal Eder" (Sürü Kulesi) etrafında otlatılan koyunlar sıradan kasaplık hayvanlar değildi. Bunlar, Kudüs Tapınağı’nda Fısıh (Pesah) bayramında günah kurbanı olarak kesilmek üzere özel yetiştirilen "kusursuz tapınak kuzularıydı."
Luka 2:8’de gece kırda sürülerini beklediği söylenen çobanlar da sıradan çobanlar değil, tapınak için doğacak kurbanlık kuzuların kusursuz ve yarasız kalmasından sorumlu tapınak çobanlarıydı. Bu çobanlar, kurbanlık bir kuzu doğacağı zaman onu Sürü Kulesi’nin altındaki mağaraya götürür, yeni doğan kuzu sağa sola çarpıp yaralanmasın, lekesiz kalsın diye onu temiz bezlerle kundaklar ve taş yemliğe yatırırlardı.
Şimdi Luka 2:12’de meleğin çobanlara söylediği şu sözü tekrar okuyun:
"İşte size bir işaret: Kundağa sarılmış ve yemliğe yatırılmış bir bebek bulacaksınız."
Melek çobanlara herhangi bir adres tarif etmedi. Çünkü "kundağa sarılıp yemliğe yatırılmak" o çobanların her gün kurbanlık tapınak kuzularına bizzat yaptığı işlemdi! İşareti duyar duymaz nereye, hangi mağaraya bakacaklarını tam olarak biliyorlardı.
Yıllar sonra Vaftizci Yahya’nın İsa’yı gördüğünde "İşte dünyanın günahını ortadan kaldıran Tanrı Kuzusu!" (Yuhanna 1:29) diye haykırmasının arkasında da bu muazzam tablo yatar. Dünyanın günahı için kurban edilecek olan gerçek Tanrı Kuzusu, tesadüfen bir ahırda değil; tam olarak tapınak kuzularının doğduğu yerde, onların sarıldığı bezlere sarılarak ve onların yatırıldığı yemliğe yatırılarak dünyaya gelmişti.
Bible prophecy is being fulfilled before our eyes…. whether you like President Trump or not (please hold your comments—this isn’t about him, nor do I care to hear it), he has already fulfilled one of the last prophecies in the Bible prior to Jesus’ return. Like it or not, President Trump has done far more for Christians than any other sitting President. Moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel back to Jerusalem and recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is one of the prophecies that must be fulfilled. No other President in history has done this, but Donald Trump did.
We haven’t seen anything yet!! What the world is experiencing right now is just the tip of the iceberg!!!
Just in case anyone wonders where I stand: The 7-year tribulation will be worse by far than anything anyone could imagine. If you think this is our last pandemic or “natural” disaster, you are sadly mistaken. Read the book of Revelation. As a Christian, I’ve heard about the corruption and debauchery of the end-times most of my life. It appears the book of Revelation is unfolding right before us. We shouldn’t be shocked either, given the state of immorality in our world. Every day, the boundaries of sin seem to be pushed further and further, and allowing Muslims to be elected into office is just speeding things up. The line between right and wrong has slowly been erased by society, television, and pop culture. Witchcraft, spiritualism, and “New Age” belief systems are being celebrated and exalted, even among some who profess to be Christians. We have been removed further from the world God created and intended. We need to take this time to re-evaluate ourselves. We need to prepare and repent. Jesus will return just as His Word tells us. This is a huge wake-up call to all who take the time to read this, and I am taking it seriously. I want to go home to my Father when my time is up.
Until the Lord calls me away from this world to the next, I want to make it clear that I believe in Jesus Christ as the true Lord and Savior. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God, was sacrificed on the cross, died for our sins, and rose again. He loves us all dearly (far more than we deserve) and forgives our sins if we repent. His Word says, “whoever believes in Me will not perish but have everlasting life.”
Please share—don’t EVER fear spreading the word of Jesus Christ! 🙏🏼
Oil crashed the day after Democrats took Congress. Then Van Jones went on CNN and admitted the quiet part out loud.
The day after the election, Brent crude fell 8.7% in a single day. WTI fell 13% on the week. Worst week for oil since COVID. Nothing about the war changed overnight. Only the election ended.
And it is still falling this morning. WTI is down near $87 a barrel. Tankers are still getting hit near the Strait of Hormuz. But the fear is gone, right on schedule.
The official story is that traders think a Democrat Congress will force Trump to end the Iran war. Maybe. Hold that thought.
Because then Van Jones went on CNN and bragged about how they did it. His exact words: 'The Republicans never figured out what we were doing.'
Jones said Democrats ran something called the American Accountability Network. Tens of thousands of real people. Not bots. Coordinated to post the same message, everywhere, every day.
And the message never changed. Everything is unaffordable. Gas costs too much. And it is all the Republicans' fault. Jones said they tied kitchen table pain to Democrats on a positive and Republicans on a negative.
The scale he claimed: 32.5 million hits a day on Instagram. 88.8 million on X. 185 million on Facebook. That is not a campaign. That is a flood. And it was aimed at your gas tank.
This was not some random group either. The network's own partner list includes the DNC, the DCCC, the DSCC, MoveOn, the AFL-CIO and the SEIU. The whole machine, working one message.
So here is the question people are asking now. If the crisis was real, why did oil fall off a cliff the morning after the votes were counted? Inventories actually went down that week. Less oil sitting around usually means higher prices. Prices crashed anyway.
They did not win on policy. They won on volume. They manufactured a crisis, pointed it at your gas tank, and flooded every feed in America until it worked. And Jones said the network is not going away.
What were you paying for gas on Election Day?
