The Last will be First, and the First will be Last

2020 has been one of the most unprecedented times in history, and the rules that govern the World seem to be changing constantly. But Scripture shows us that G3D has not bound Himself by Man’s Laws and has done as He wishes to manifest His Will.

Primogeniture is the right, by law or custom, of the firstborn legitimate child to inherit the parent’s entire or main estate. It was a long standing tradition before written history, but G3D has ignored this custom over and over.

Starting with Adam and Eve’s first children Cain and Abel, Cain the older brother should have received preference over his younger brother, but because Cain did not bring the finest of the fruits of the soil, and Abel brought the best of his flocks, G3D showed favor over Abel’s offering. This anger over not being recognized lead to Cain killing Abel, but the history of Mankind did not follow Cain’s legacy and instead flowed through his younger brother Seth (ref. Genesis 4).

Abram had been promised decedents as numerous as the stars in the sky (ref. Genesis 15:5), but due to his and his wife Sarai’s advanced ages, they believed they needed to find another way to have children. After Sarai gave her handmaiden Hagar to Abram, Hagar became pregnant and began to despise and torment Sarai who responded with greater unkindness. The illegitimate child was named Ishmael and rather than being a blessing as the first borne of Abram’s family, Ishmael would be “a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers”. After the birth of Isaac through Sarah, Abraham sent Hagar and Ishmael away because G3D told Abraham that though He would “make the son of the slave into a nation also, because he is your offspring” it would be “through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned” (ref. Genesis 21:12-13).

Isaac, the second born of Abraham, married Rebekah who gave birth to a set of twins: Esau and Jacob. While she was still pregnant, the babies wrestled with each other within Rebekah’s womb, causing her extreme fear, but the Lord explained “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.” Esau, the first born, resented his birthright, but was the favorite of his father Isaac because Esau was a skilled hunter and brought his father wild game from the open country. Rebekah knew that her younger son Jacob had G3D’s blessing and loved that he preferred to stay at home, rather than venturing out in the wild like his older brother. Rebekah went so far as to devise a plan to trick her blind husband Isaac so that he would give Jacob the birthright before passing away (ref. Genesis 27: 1-29).

Like his parents before him, Jacob showed favoritism among his wives and children. He loved his second wife Rachel and her sons Joseph and Benjamin, but his first child, Reuben, came from his first wife Leah. But despite being the default leader of the twelve tribes of Israel, Reuben would not inherit the most desired titles: the priestly tribe, which went to his younger brother Levi, and the royal tribe, which was crowned upon Judah. Ironically, neither of these tribes officially received the double portion from the firstborn birthright. Jacob adopted the sons of his favorite child, Joseph, so they could share equally with Jacob’s other sons. The younger son Ephraim, was given favor over his older brother Manasseh, and even when their father Joseph tried to correct his father’s Jacob’s blessing, Jacob crossed his hands to ensure that Ephraim, the younger was given the greater blessing (ref Genesis 48:1-22).

Despite officially receiving the birthright, the tribe of Ephraim was overlooked by G3D who would bring forth the Messiah through the line of David, from the Tribe of Judah.

Judah’s older sons Er, and Onan, were systematically married to a woman named Tamar, but since both were “wicked in the sight of the Lord” (ref. Genesis 38:7), G3D kills them. Because Judah did not give his last and youngest son to Tamar as a husband, Tamar tricked Judah into impregnating her instead. Tamar births a set of twins, Zerah, the official firstborn, and Perez who is the forefather of Boaz and his son Obed, and his grandson Jesse of Bethlehem (ref Ruth 4: 18-22).

When the Lord told Prophet Samuel that He had rejected Saul as King over Israel and would declare a new king, He directed Samuel to Jesse of Bethlehem, informing him that one his sons would be king. Jesse’s oldest son Eliab, a tall and handsome warrior, was thought by Prophet Samuel to be a fit successor to King Saul, but G3D rejected all of Jesse’s sons and instead David, the youngest, was anointed the future King of Israel (ref. 1 Samuel 16:1-13).

When King David was planning on revealing his successor as King, he makes reference to his family’s unlikely history. “Yet the Lord, the G3D of Israel, chose me out of all my father’s house to be king over Israel forever. For He chose Judah as leader, and from the House of Judah He chose my father’s household, and from my father’s sons He was pleased to make me king over all Israel. And of all my sons-for the Lord has given me many sons-he has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the Kingdom of the Lord over Israel” (ref. 1 Chronicles 28:4-5).

For generations, G3D did not chose those the World thought worthy, nor did He use the systems that the rest of the Nations of Mankind favored. Since the beginning, G3D looked at the heart of Abel and found his offering worthy because he brought his best, likewise David the shepherd boy, was chosen over his accomplished older brother, because David loved G3D. This is one of the most important Prophetic Principles: G3D will not chose His Select based on what the World valued, but on their Hearts.

As the World begins to reorganize and a New Era of G3Dly Administration begins, we must remember that the systems of men are inherently flawed and will ultimately fail. But G3D will chose His Select and ensure that they receive the blessings that He has deemed them worthy of. Those who have been overlooked or forgotten by the World, but who have been faithful to G3D, will be remembered by Him and they will be blessed and given power in this new era.

Christ’s Transfiguration on the Eighth Day

Though Sukkot was a seven day festival, on the eighth day, they were required to have an additional day set aside as a separate special event. This day not only marked the moment when Christ publicly revealed Himself to the World, but also the day of His Transfiguration.

Sukkot was considered the most joyous time of the year and as a Fall Harvest Festival was comparable to Thanksgiving. There were two well-known celebrations that had been incorporated into the Sukkot ceremony over generations. The Water Libation Ritual and the Lighting of the Candelabra both took place in the Women’s Courtyard, which made both processions completely available to the public.

The Water Libation ceremony involved a priest drawing water from the Pool of Siloam, which was fed by the Gihon Spring, which ran under the City of David. This spring was the same one where King Solomon was anointed by High Priest Zadok (1 Kings 1: 38-39) and was reminiscent of how King David would be the source of the Messiah’s lineage, but also how the Messiah would be a source of life to the Nation of Israel and eventually the World. The priest would take the water from the spring and pour the water and wine together onto the altar as a plea to G3D to send the showers in the upcoming rainy season.

It was a prophetic performance foretelling the moment after Christ’s death on the Cross, when a soldier pierced Jesus’ side with a spear and immediately there spilled out both blood and water (John 19:33-34). This was a fulfillment of G3D’s declaration that He would “pour out on the House of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of Grace and Supplication, and they will look on me, the one they have pierced”. While the onlookers were praying for physical water, G3D had intended to send His Spirit upon His People.

The only descriptions we have of the Lighting of the Candelabra come from the Talmud which stated that “Men of piety and good deeds would dance… with lighted torches in their hands, singing songs and praises. Levites without number with harps, lyres, cymbals, trumpets, and other musical instruments (were) there upon the fifteen steps leading down from the Court of the Gentiles to the Court of the Women.” (Sukkah 51 a-b; 53a) Supposedly, seventy-five foot high candlesticks were erected in front of the Temple, whose light could be seen in every courtyard of the city.

After the week-long celebration, on the eighth day, the entire country rested and gathered at the Temple. It was during the water libation ceremony that Christ stood and said in a loud voice “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of Living Water will flow from within them” (John 7: 37-39). Also on the eighth day He declared in front of the giant candle in front of the Temple “I am the Light of the World. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the Light of Life” (John 8:12)

Also on the eighth day, Jesus brought Peter, James, and John to the Mount of Olives (John 8:1) to pray. It was there that Jesus was transfigured before them, His Face shining like the sun, and His Clothes were as white as Light. Moses and Elijah appeared before them as well.

One of the most significant virtues practiced during Sukkot was the concept of Ushpizin. Though it did not receive its name or become fully conceptualized until after the Destruction of the Second Temple, Ushpizin was the anticipation that guests would arrive at your shelter and you would have the blessed opportunity to attend to and provide for them. Some version of this practice might have existed in the First Century since Peter upon seeing all this responded “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters-one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”.

A bright cloud covered them and a Voice from the cloud declared “This is My Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased. Listen to Him!”

Earlier in the week, while the crowds were clamoring to hear His Teachings and see His Miracles, there were whispers about who Jesus truly was. When Jesus asked His Disciples, they repeated the rumors that had been spread, but Peter recognized that Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of the Living G3D (Matthew 16:13-20; Mark 8:27-30; Luke 9: 18-20). Christ’s Transfiguration not only confirmed this, but also showed that Jesus was G3D Himself. The Sons of Thunder would have realized later that while Moses face shown brightly after coming down the mountain after talking with G3D, Jesus was not reflecting G3D’s light, but was the source of it.

Like the Spring Feasts, Passover and Pentecost, which revealed Christ’s identity as the Body of G3D and the Final Offering, and was the moment that the Spirit first became available to all Mankind, Sukkot was the revealing of G3D’s Glory, which had been dwelling in Jesus’ Tabernacle. G3D used the newly added Jerusalem Temple ceremonies to further prove who He was to the audience that had gathered from all over the world to participate in the mandatory Fall Feast.

The eighth and greatest day of Sukkot was the day that G3D decided to reveal Himself to the entirety of Israel through His Son, through His declarations that He was the Source of Living Water and the Light of the World. Though Apostle Peter had understood that Jesus was the Messiah just a few days earlier, it was during the Transfiguration that the Disciples realized that Jesus was the G3D of Israel as well.

During this Season of Sukkot, Believers need to recognize that the festival was not about living in tents, as Peter originally thought, but how the Presence of G3D dwelt within the first Tabernacle. Likewise, the Messiah was the True Source of Light and Living Water to not only Israel, but the whole World.

Sukkot: The Forgotten Fall Feast

Often referenced to as simply “The Festival”, Sukkot: The Festival of Tabernacles or Ingathering, was one of the most important and eagerly looked forward to celebrations in the Jewish religious calendar. It was once one of the most important Jewish celebrations, and one of the most important moments in Christianity, but most modern Believers have never heard its name.

Sukkot, the festival of booths, would start on the fifteenth day of the seventh month and last seven days. The first day would be holy and people would not be allowed to work, and on the eighth day they would observe a holy convocation and hold a solemn assembly. The people of Israel would be required to travel to the location of the Tabernacle to observe this feast every year, and celebrate by taking natural plant materials and making temporary shelters, which they would live in for seven days. This would stand as a reminder to the generations of future Israelites that G3D made the people of Israel live in booths when He brought them out of the land of Egypt and they relied on Him for everything and He faithfully provided (ref. Leviticus 23:33-43).

Sukkot is not mentioned again until the construction of the Temple, when a permanent location for the festival was established. After the week-long festival in Jerusalem, when King Solomon consecrated the Temple and Altar starting on Rosh Hashanah, the citizens went back to their homes, but the faithful citizens returned on the fifteenth day of the seventh month to celebrate Sukkot (1 Kings 8:64-66; 2 Chronicles 7:8-10). They celebrated for seven days and had a holy convocation on the eighth day, as Scripture laid out, and King Solomon dismissed them on the twenty-third day.

After the Exile of the Northern Kingdom and the Destruction of the Temple, there was a push for religious revival in Israel and it began with the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem and the dedicated teaching of the Law. Starting on Rosh Hashanah, Ezra the Scribe read the Book of the Law of Moses to the assembly in Jerusalem on the first day of the seventh month. On the second day, they realized that they had not been celebrating Sukkot, one of the most important holidays mandated by G3D. They discovered that they were to live in temporary shelters during this celebration, and that they should proclaim this word and spread it throughout their towns in in Jerusalem. Messengers proclaimed “Go out into the hill country and bring back branches from olive and wild olive trees, and from myrtles, palms and shade trees, to make temporary shelters”.

Excited about trying to keep the instructions they had just been given, “the people went out and brought back branches and built themselves temporary shelters on their own roofs, in their courtyards, in the courts of the House of G3D and in the Square by the Water Gate, where Ezra the Scribe was preaching, and the one by the Gate of Ephraim.” Many people had been forced into exile after the initial destruction of the Temple, but “the whole company that had returned from exile built temporary shelters and lived in them.” It had been hundreds of years, but “from the days of Joshua, son of Nun, until that day, the Israelites had not celebrated it like this. And their Joy was very great”. Ezra continued to read from the Book of the Law of G3D, and “they celebrated the festival for seven days, and on the eighth day, in accordance with the regulation, there was an assembly (ref. Nehemiah 8).

This Sukkot celebrated by Ezra the Scribe may have rejuvenated the country’s passion for the Lord’s Feasts as we see that it has become regularly celebrated by the time of Christ’s Ministry.

After the feeding of the five thousand and four thousand and the explanation that followers would need to eat Christ’s Flesh and drink His Blood, many of the crowds abandoned Him and He essentially stayed in the Galilee region to avoid being captured by the religious elites who sought to kill him (ref. John 6:21-66).

As the Festival of Tabernacles was drawing near, Jesus’ brothers encouraged Him to leave Galilee and head to Judea so that His Disciples could see the miracles He was known for. In reality, His brothers did not believe in Him, and even suspected that He was out of His Mind (ref. Mark 3:21), but they still recognized that it was necessary that every devout Jew go to Jerusalem to observe the Fall Feast.

Christ insisted they go without Him, but after they had left for the festival, Jesus went to Jerusalem in secret and remained hidden. It wasn’t until halfway through the celebration that Jesus went up to the Temple Courts and began to teach (ref. John 7:1-14).

On the eighth and last day of the festival and during the water libation ceremony, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of Living Water will flow from within them”, essentially declaring Himself the true source of Living Water (ref. 7:37-38). It was also on the eighth day, in front of the giant candles that lit up the Temple, that Jesus declared that He was the Light of the World and that whoever followed Him would never walk in Darkness, but would have the Light of Life (ref. John 8: 12). It would also be on this day that Christ would be transfigured on the Mount of Olives (ref. Matthew 17:1-11; Mark 9:2-13; Luke 9: 28-36; John 8:1)

Multiple times, Sukkot, one of the most significant of G3D’s Feasts, was forgotten and not celebrated as faithfully and joyfully as G3D expected. This failure to observe the eight day festival may have been a key reason why Israel constantly turned from Him, since they trusted in their own strength and works rather than G3D’s Providence. After the Temple dedication was completed, Solomon ensured that his countrymen return to celebrate Sukkot as well. When Ezra the Scribe was leading the religious revival during the reconstruction of Jerusalem’s Walls, the people felt the need to ensure that the whole country make an effort to observe the holiday. Even during Christ’s time on Earth, He felt is was important that He participate and it was the timing of some of His most important public declarations about Himself and the date of His Transfiguration.

The recognition and celebration of Sukkot by modern Believers should be encouraged since, along with Passover and Pentecost, it was the timing of one of Christianity’s most important events. During this current moment of crisis and fear, we need to recognize that this life is temporary and that G3D will faithfully provide for His People. That was the core message G3D wanted the Israelites to learn from the holiday, and it’s a lesson we need to remember especially now.

Yom Kippur & the Scarlet Cords of Fate

As Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Judgement, approaches and the Nation’s attention turns to the nomination of a new Supreme Court Justice, America is gripped with the question of what Justice truly is. Fortunately for Believers, we don’t have to worry, as Christ fulfilled the Fall Feast of Yom Kippur.

The first instance of red cords seen in Scripture is the birth of Patriarch Judah’s grandsons through deception by his daughter-in-law Tamar, after the deaths of Judah’s two wicked older sons. (Genesis 38). While she was giving birth to a set of twins, the first son put out his hand and the midwife tied a red string to confirm that this was the firstborn. This child, later named Zerah, pulled back his arm and his brother, Perez was born instead, though officially Zerah broke the womb first and was thus considered the firstborn. But it was through Perez’s lineage that the kingly Tribe of Judah would birth King David and eventually, Christ Himself. Though Zerah, who was adorned with the red string, had the responsibility of the first born son, it was Perez who would carry the burden ultimately.

During the reconnaissance mission within the fortress of Jericho, the two spies sent in by Joshua were discovered and searched for by the local government, but were hidden in the thatched roofing of Tamar the Prostitute’s home, which was in the city’s wall. In exchange for saving their lives, she requested that her family be spared during the siege of Jericho. They promised that as long as she left out the red rope she let them outside the city from, they would know not to attack anyone within that home. Tamar eventually married Salmon and was the mother of Boaz, and the great grandmother of King David.

When someone was discovered with leprosy, they were required to be quarantined and live outside the camp boundaries or city walls to prevent the spread of the disease. After the disease had subsided and cleared up, a priest would inspect the healed person and perform a cleansing ritual, which involved two live clean birds, a red string, cedar wood, and hyssop. One of the birds was killed in an earthenware jar over running water and the live bird, red string, and other items were dipped in the blood of the killed bird. The healed person would be splashed seven times with the blood of the dead bird using the little bundle, and the live bird would be allowed to be set free in the open fields afterwards.

This ceremony was extremely similar to the one done during the Yom Kippur sacrifice. Two goats which were identical in every way, had lots cast, with one goat given a red string around its neck where the High Priest would place the ceremonial knife and the other goat had the red string tied around its horns like a bloody crown. This second goat would have part of the red string around its horns removed and placed on the door of the Temple, before being led into the Wilderness. After the Yom Kippur sacrifice, the red string on the door would turn white when the released goat died in the Wilderness.

Simeon the Righteous, a very famous and respected High Priest, was known for several miracles during his forty years serving. One of the most well know was that the red string turned white on the day of Yom Kippur, which was extremely rare, every single year. This was significant since the citizens of Jerusalem usually had to wait several days or weeks for the sign to occur. This changing from red to white was thought to symbolize G3D forgiving the sins of the Priesthood and the Nation, and began to be known as the Consolation of Israel.

When Jesus was presented in the Temple, this is what Simeon, a righteous and devout man had been waiting for. Not only was Simeon’s name an allusion to High Priest Simeon the Righteous, but he was waiting on the sign, most recognized during his tenure. Simeon was surprised to realize that the true Consolation of Israel was not a piece of string, but the Messiah Himself.

In each case, the lives connected to the red string were spared the consequences that they would have faced otherwise. Zerah the first born of Tamar’s twins, bore the red string on his wrist, but was not required to carry on the family name, and instead Perez, his twin bore the weight of his family’s shame, before the redemption by King David. The two spies was hidden from the King’s guards and escaped down the red rope outside Rahab’s home. But that same red rope which spared the spies, was used as a sign for which house not to attack during the siege of Jericho. The red string secured the safety of Rahab and her family and she eventually married into the Tribe of Judah and gave birth to Boaz. It was through her family line that both King David and Christ would be born.

The cleansing ceremony to heal lepers and the Yom Kippur sacrifice both required two animals, with one being killed and the other one associated with the red string let free. Regarding the Yom Kippur sacrifice, the red string tied to the door of the Temple would eventually turn white after the goat led into the Wilderness finally died. When Christ was presented in the Temple, Simeon recognized Jesus as the true Consolation of Israel.

Several Jewish sources confirm that for forty years before the destruction of the Temple, starting after Christ’s Crucifixion, the red string never turned white, which is fitting since Christ fulfilled the Yom Kippur sacrifice fully.

Red string was a sign that the wearer would be freed from the consequences that would normally befall you. Whether it was relieving you of the weight of a legacy of sin, sparing your physical life, or allowing you to enter back into the loving embrace of society again, the red string was a sign of our salvation. Likewise we are covered by the blood of Christ and are spared from sin’s debt and are allowed to go free while he carried our burden instead.

Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Judgement, is no longer a day to afflict our souls and wait and pray hoping that we will receive a sign that G3D has forgiven our sins. We can now rest assured that we are free because Christ not only paid that debt, but He also fulfilled Yom Kippur.

Rosh Hashanah-Prophetic Date of New Beginnings

Christ’s Birth on Rosh Hashanah had been prophetically announced for hundreds of years in both subtle and bold ways. G3D told the Israelites to celebrate the day by blowing trumpets, but His People did not realize they were announcing their King.

Though G3D only stipulated that the day be set aside for the blowing of trumpets, the meaning behind this Prophetic Performance has changed over the ages.

Jewish tradition has taught two different origin stories regarding Rosh Hashanah. Some Rabbis have postulated that G3D began Creation on this day, while others argue that Adam was formed and had Life breathed into him on Rosh Hashanah.

Whether Creation or Mankind began on the Head of the Year, most agree that both Cain and Abel may have been born on the First Day of the Seventh Month, and other famous Patriarchs may have been as well.

Noah, famous for his ark, was also supposedly born on the same day the Earth was reborn. After nearly a year since the beginning of the Flood, on the First Day of the First Month, the Flood Waters began to recede and Dry Land appeared, symbolically re-birthing a purified World as it emerged from the Waters, setting the precedent for our modern water baptisms. Before G3D established His Religious Calendar, the calendar was set with Rosh Hashanah as the start of the year, and it still the beginning of the civil calendar.

After a long unjust imprisonment, Joseph was remembered and released from prison on Rosh Hashanah. More importantly, he was promoted to Prime Minister over all of Egypt on this day. This public inauguration was repeated by King Solomon when he held his coronation and sanctified and anointed the Temple on Rosh Hashanah. Though Solomon had been privately crowned king much earlier, and the Temple had already been completed, Solomon chose the day the whole country would be blowing trumpets to officially begin his reign. This date became so popular, all future Kings of Judah were initiated to the sounds of the Rosh Hashanah trumpets, including Jesus, whose birth would have been announced by the sounds of the shofar.

Modern Jews celebrate the Lord’s Feast by blowing trumpets in anticipation of the Messiah, but most families focus on eating sweet foods, such as apples dipped in honey, to symbolize the hope for a new year filled with positive experiences. One of the most consistent items at the table, is an accidental birthday cake: a round challah bread. Through challahs are usually baked in a long strip, on Rosh Hashanah, they are kneaded into a round shape for Rosh Hashanah. Though the domed shape may be a reference to the construction of the Tabernacle, most bakers will say that their creation is meant to resemble a crown, for the G3D of the Universe. Others will say that the circular shape represents the cyclical nature of the year, or the never ending reign of the Messiah.

Most Jews use the day to celebrate the beginning of a new calendar year, but it also marks the countdown to Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Judgement. Rosh Hashanah is the day the events for the next year are decreed, but it is not till Yom Kippur that they are made permanent. A person’s health, wealth, and relationships for the next year are affected by how a person lived their previous year. Having been generous and thoughtful and caring to your friends, family, employees and customers, will mean that you will be blessed with more in the upcoming year. Being cruel, mean-spirited, stingy, and cheating or purposefully hurting others, will result in you losing money, worsened health, broken relationships, and possibly even death.

By giving to the poor and needy, making amends with those you have hurt and wronged, and trying to outweigh the evil you had done, as well as intense prayer and remorse, your fortune for the upcoming year could be changed.

Thankfully, Christ’s Sacrifice negated the need to do any of that. Since we are unable to ever fully pay the enormous debt we owe for our sin, G3D’s Grace means that Rosh Hashanah can be a day of celebrating all the Good He has done for us throughout the past year. Rather than contemplating how we can try to make up for all the mistakes we have recently made, we can recognize all the blessings He has rained upon His Faithful.

Rosh Hashanah may have been the beginning of Creation or the start of Mankind, and it set a trend of commencements on this day. Not only was it the supposed birthday of very important Biblical figures including the Patriarchs, it was also the date of the rebirth of the World after the Great Flood. Joseph was released from prison and given the position of Prime Minister over Egypt on this day. King Solomon was publicly coronated and consecrated and anointed the Temple on Rosh Hashanah.

Most importantly, Christ was born on this day. His Birth began a new World and a new Era. The Nation of Israel blew horns announcing the birth and crowning of their Eternal King. Jews bake round challah bread to symbolically crown the Messiah and in recognition of His Never-ending Reign. While some people worry about having done enough good to survive the next year, we can rest on the fact that G3D’s Grace and Christ’s Sacrifice has paid the price, and we do not need to fear Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Judgement.

Whether you celebrate the day by blowing the shofar, eating round challah bread or other sweet and yummy foods, or spending time with family and friends, take a moment to thank G3D for having provided throughout this past year of uncertainties. This next year will be exciting and major changes will be coming, but know that He has revealed His Plans to His Prophets and Christ is ruling and reigning today.
