We have been having a conversation on the MYTH of Christmas where we clearly established that Christmas does not accurately represent the birth of Jesus Today we delve into the significance of the Birth of Christ that is usually blurred by the masquerading both in the church and in society purporting to be the celebration that surround this event that shaped human history…Where do we begin? We will have to go back in time to what the Prophets had said about this significant event and what we should ideally be drawing from and celebrating, WHENEVER we reference the Birth of Christ and NOT necessarily on a particular DATE. To do this let us look at a couple of scriptures: Isaiah 7:14 14 "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. Already from the word go the focal point is NOT the DATE but: THE LORD’s SIGN: --THE VIRGIN --WILL CONCIEVE ---GIVE BIRTH TO A SON ---NAMED IMMANUEL -Therefore the DATE is NOT as important as the SIGN Isa. 9:6 6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace This often quoted scriptures during Christmas pageants and services, completely gloss over the HUGE implications of what they represent and are sadly relegated to be read ONLY during these occasions when NO ONE will pay them any further attention until the NEXT CHRISTMAS EVENT! Isaiah 9:6 is probably one of the MOST Power packed scriptures in the ENTIRE Bible that in ONE SENTENCE basically SUMS UP THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION OF WHO CHRIST IS, incorporating both His Divinity and Humanity and gives us insight into WHO HE REALLY IS! This is what the REAL Smokescreen about Christmas is REALLY about, this is what the TARGET really IS! Truth be told, it has been pretty successful up until now when God is granting us discernment so that we can deconstruct it for the sake of future generations. Let us examine the TRUE implications:
