I don’t know about you, but I discovered Revelations 12 while reading a book (not the bible of course) a few months ago. I had NEVER heard of the birth of Jesus in such an interesting perspective….One from a Spiritual Realm.
Basically, there was an enormous Red 7 headed Dragon with its mouth open Wide to Devour Jesus Right as he was born. Yea, this Blew my mind! GOD came down and Snatched up Jesus right as he was born before the Dragon could do Anything.
Then, a War broke out in Heaven. I would LOVE to watch this on DVD, Seriously. How epic would this be? You’d need a 4D 2160 HD (twice a 1080) TV to be able to barely capture and see what went on. Haha, ok joking, but for real.
So the Dragon lost and was hurled down to Earth. After being thrown down from Heaven, he continuously pursued Jesus, Mary, & Joseph. The Earth opened it’s Mouth (This again I’d like to see on DVD) and swallowed an attack the Dragon made in order to keep it from Mary. Pretty Crazy sounding I know, But aren’t most of the things God does are Crazy Sounding? So, the Dragon/Satan went after & waged war against the rest of the people in the world who keep God’s commands and follow Him.
There’s a good amount of information that I left out, and if you’d like to read the whole Chapter, it isn’t very long. Click Here for the Link to the scripture.
So yea. I had Never heard of this version of what happened when Jesus was born. It was a Bigger Deal than any of us can really grasp, because Satan sure as heck tried to stop it. However, I sit back and Laugh, because I Believe and Know That God is SOOO Much stronger & powerful than Satan.
We mostly think of Rejoicing because our Savior is born, but we might forget what also was happening. Satan Knew that Jesus was being born! The Son of God! You Know that Satan wasn’t just gonna sit back and let this Happen without trying to do anything. And he still failed….HAHA!!
Anyways, our time in Cambodia is ending soon, and on midnight of Happy New Years we will be Flying to Kenya!!! (this will be noon the 31st for you East Coasters).
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
