Second Journal entry of 2019

Good morning.  Here is my second journal entry for the year of 2019.  It seems impossible that this is the year 2019.  Wow!  I never thought about being alive in the year 2019.  I knew one day I would reach old age, but it seems only yesterday that I become an adult.  When you are young you can hardly wait to become an adult.  When you become an adult and all the issues hit in being an adult, you may say I wish I could turn back the clock and be young again.  You had it made when you were still under your parents roof.  They took on the weight of the world for you.  I thank God, I had loving, God fearing parents.  Not all  did.

When I came to my blog, I thought I would have something interesting to say.  Now that I am here, I don't have a clue what to write.  I am sitting here in my computer/sitting room contemplating what to post.  I think what actually came to my mind to make an entry was a forward I got in messenger from a friend.  It is about how bad President Trump is under attack from those in congress.  It was a very sad day when the Democrats took over the government.  They are blocking the President on every decision he has made.  The forward was a prayer over President Trump to be with him during this trying time.  The bible teaches that God is in control in every aspect of our lives.  He puts good and bad people in the country's leadership, to accomplish his plan.  Many do not believe this.  Some never have and others have changed their minds.  Yes, it is very important that we always remember the country's leadership in our prayers.

I felt coming here today, might have been a waste of my time.  Then I thought to myself, "This journal is actually for me personally.  I come and make entry's to put down my thoughts and prayers.  This is a way to make sense of things happening in my life.  It is therapy for me.  It doesn't have to make sense to anyone other than myself."

WHEN WAS THE MESSIAH BORN?

It is only natural for a person to adhere to conducts and beliefs that are biblically defensible.    Be ready always to give an answer to every man  that  asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear."   (1 Peter 3:15).                                 Christmas celebrations are generally observed to honor the supposed date of the birth of the Messiah.  But the facts are that Christ was not born on December 25.        " Christmas . . . was, according to many authorities, not cele-brated in the first centuries of the Christian church, as the Christian usage in general was to celebrate the death of remarkable persons, rather than the birth of Christ. ("Christmas",  Encyclopedia Americana).  How then, did the Romish Church fix on December 25th as Christmas-day?  Why, thus: long before the fourth century, a...

THE BOOK OF REVELATION

Many people stay away from the Book of Revelation because they find the symbolism frightening or confusing, or both!  But the Book of Revelation was meant to be a book of comfort to those caught up in the persecution at the end of the first century, says Ms Frances Taylor.  Christians in "Rome" had been blamed by Nero I for destroying much of the city.  They were often called "cannibals" because of their Eucharistic celebrations where they shared the "body and blood of Christ."  (they symbolically used bread and fruit of the vine for the body and blood.)   Domitian was another Emperor who persecuted the Christians at the end of the century; he was most likely the emperor who earned the designation "666".  The number 7 is very often mentioned in this book, which is the number that symbolizes completion and when in threes, God.  Domitian was considered the Satan, who clamed to be God, and fell short for the Christian, the greater danger was the los...

THE LIFE OF SAUL/PAUL

            Paul was born a Jew of the tribe of Benjamin.  He was also a Roman Citizen.  He was born in the Roman City of Tarsus.  In those days people had dual names.  Before he was known as apostle Paul, he was known as Saul of Tarsus.  Saul was his Hebrew name, Paul was his Roman name.  As Saul before his conversion he sought out the believers in Jesus.  He would hunt them down, bind them up and take them to Jerusalem to be killed.  Jesus did not change his name at his conversion.            Saul went to the high priest asking for letters to allow him entry into the synagogues at Damascus, so he could hunt down men and women that professed to be believers in Jesus. As he began his journey, he traveled down the road to Damascus.  As he drew near to the city, suddenly a light from heaven shone around him.  He fell to the ground and he heard a voice saying, "Saul, Saul why are t...
