Luke 2:11-14
New International Version (NIV)
“Today in the town of David a ‘Savior’ [Yasha: Deliverer, Help, etc..] has been born to you; he is the ‘Messiah’ [Mashiyach: Anointed, Dedicated, etc..], the ‘Lord’ [YH-WH: Name, Word and Works, of Abraham’s ‘Elohiym]. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a great company of the ‘heavenly’ [shamayim: sky (or, clouds, space), air, etc..] host appeared with the ‘angel’ [malik: messengers, ambassadors, etc..], praising ‘God’ [ha-‘Elohiym: the-Magistrates, the-Judges, etc..] and saying, “Glory to ‘God’ [ha-‘Elohiym: the-Magistrates, the-Judges, etc..] in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom ‘his’ [ha-ga’al: the-deliverer’s, the-redeemer’s, etc..] favor rests.”
An important point to not miss? Why is the 25th of December not in the Bible? A fair question to ask. “What birth, exactly, are we declaring?” The questions will not be about what we thought, rather, “Did we bother to think?” The facts not always what we thought! Now a link to a historian’s analysis. Never believe blindly!
Paraphrasing ‘YH’shua’ (YH saves), ” ‘Your will’ (YHWH ‘Elohiym’s, the ‘Father’s’ (Principal’s) ‘Will’ (Word and Works) be done ‘on earth’ (IN US) as it is in heaven.”
