Celebrate   

   The Coming Ruler    

  We're not just remembering the birth of our Savior.  

We celebrate the promise of a Leader from out of this world.

He will judge between the nations...  Isaiah 2:4

The government will be on his shoulders.  Isaiah 9:6

The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him...  Isaiah 11:2

I will put my Spirit on him and he

will bring justice to the nations.  Isaiah 42:1

Bethlehem's story is wonderful, especially for youngsters.

That was then.

He is coming again.

Wise men still seek him, and men would be wise to get their hearts in order. 

The Spirit informed Isaiah 700 years before the birth,

and we're still waiting for the thousand-year reign of the Lord

on earth, leading to final judgment.

What's taking so long?

A thousand years is like a day, with God.

Note: We're having some difficulty with a wrinkle our "blogspot" friends introduced recently. So, we decided to have a Merry Christmas - and return in the Happy New Year, after we solve our technical issue. 

  Come January, look for Views By the Sea on Facebook, or search jxdonut.blogspot.com. We don't post all blogs on Facebook. 

   Lastly, we are working on a special series for January that should be more significant than anything we've published in four-plus years. Make a note. 

I appreciate you, and God bless you.
