Should You Be Merry About Christ-Mass? By Maria Merola Wold It all began at the Tower of Babel about 2,200 years before the birth our Messiah in Bethlehem. Nimrod (the grandson of Noah) started a cult with his mother/wife Semiramis where they offered up babies in a “Child-Mass” on altars to Molech aka Satan each year at the “Winter Solstice.” For twelve days leading up to December 25th, hundreds of child-sacrifices were conducted on the altar to this pagan deity. For each of the twelve months in the coming New Year, there were twelve days of blood sacrifices that were meant to give the sun-god the “life-force” from these innocent children. And then by December 25th, they declared that the sun-god had come back to life. They called it the “rebirth of the sun.” When Nimrod was later executed for his crimes against children, his wife/mother became pregnant, and she concocted a story in order to keep this pagan religion alive in Babylon. She told them that Nimrod had impregnated her by the rays of the sun on March 25th (the Vernal Equinox, Easter Sun-day). Exactly nine months later, on December 25th, Semiramis gave birth to another son and she named him Tammuz. We can read about this in Ezekiel 8:14 and how angry YaHuWaH was toward the House of Yahuwdah (Judah) for worshiping Tammuz. Semiramis then told the Babylonians that Nimrod had been reincarnated (reborn) on December 25th through her new-born son Tammuz and that he was the god of the sun and she was the goddess of the moon.

Die terugslae van 2016 Ons publiseer graag ons suksesse maar swyg liewer oor ons neerlae. Saam met soveel seën het ons in hierdie jaar ook terleurstellings in geloof beleef. Hoe verklaar ons dit aan die hand van die Skrif en hoe vermy ons dit in die toekoms?

Matt 6:33....Maar soek eers... Jesus praat oor die lewe en oorvloed waarvoor Hy gekom het: Die alles sluit oa in alles wat tot die lewe en godsvrug dien (2 Per 1:3). Maar dit alles word slegs ontsluit deur gesag, (koninkryk) wat in werking tree in geregtigheid - die volkome stand van onskuld waarmee ons voor God staan op grond van die offer van Jesus in Sy sterwe en opstanding. Ons hoef nie meer te soek nie - ons het gevind wanneer ons oortuig is van dit waarvan God op grond van Sy Seun se offer aangaande ons oortuig is! Dan soek ons nie meer nie, dan leef ons die oorvloedslewe!

Jak 1:25 ...Die woord vir gelukkig is "makarios"; wat beteken; versadig; vervulde en in balans. Balans verwys na ons wandel wat in balans kom met ons volmaaakte stand, soos wat ons oortuig word van dit wat ons sien. Jesus gebruik dieselfde woord in Sy bergpredikasie wat profeties dui op die gevolg van die ontdekking van die nuwe skepping in Christus. Dit waarna Jesus verwys in die saligsprekinge is nie iets wat ons doen nie, maar is die gevolg van wat Jesus se opstanding met ons gedoen het.
