CHRISTMAS. Part-Three.

Three Kings.

Wise men or the Magi, set out from Babylonia and followed the long awaited bright star. It took them one year to get to Jerusalem and they headed for the palace to seek the King of Israel.

There they met the mad, paranoid king Herod who was bemused of their arrival. But he had a hidden agenda as so many do!

The Magi eventually found Jesus and presented Him their gifts. But on leaving an angel told them to go a different way. Thus when Herod found out, he felt mocked. But his intentions was not to honour Jesus, rather to start a genocide, in which every male child up to two years old was murdered.

Matthew 2:1-11,  2:15-18, Genesis 35:16-20,  Jeremiah 31:15.

The Bastard. Part-One.

Illegitimate.

Seventy years ago across many parts of this world it was a scandal to have a child out of wedlock, but many young woman fell victim to devious men. Promises were made, but never kept.

Today nearly everyone born here in the U.K. is from couples living together or the product of one night stands and people don't even have any shame about their actions.

When we are dealing with God, it becomes a whole different matter. He says 'Anyone who is not with Me is a Bastard. This verse troubles many religious or ritual following Church goers.

But you have to make your own choices?

Hebrews 12:8.
