“And, behold you Zechariah shall be dumb, not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believes not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.” Commentary: Zechariah was a priest in the Temple a Jerusalem in 1st Century Judea. He and his wife Elizabeth were very old past able to have children. However while he was performing the duties of the priest office burning incense on the altar before the Lord an angel showed up! When the angel told him he and his old wife were going to have a son together and were to name him John his faith could not comprehend this and he fell into unbelief! He was following the science and did not believe! He did not have his Hebrew study Bible to check this out? When God shows up in your face you will not have time to reach for your Bible! So Mr. Z got a dumb spirit inserted into his soul! Why? Unbelief! God did not want him running around telling everyone how this could not happen! So he got muted! The difference was Mary believed the angel and followed the instructions to name the Son of God Jesus! So be it unto me Lord! After John the Baptist was born the dumb spirit left Zechariah and he could speak! Then when his family after the child was born wanted to name the baby Zechariah this priest said no! We will name him John! Did you know cancel culture is not a new thing! King Herod wanted to kill baby Jesus! The Chief priests and the Roman government sent Jesus to the Cross! Cancel culture! We must get rid of these nativity scenes! The Christmas trees have to go! They offend me! Never mind offending God! Merry Christmas! No Happy Holidays! In the word Christmas is the name Christ! They cannot mention his name! The cancel culture has a dumb spirit on their tongues! Satan has their tongue tied! They are bound headed for hell! And if you name Christ we will cancel you also! However the consequences like Judas of cancelling Christ are eternal consequences separated from God forever! Jesus came to give us life! To forgive us of a sin filled world of death and destruction! Jesus said if you deny me before men I will deny you before my Father! God can loose your tongue but only by believing the truth! Denying your lies and receiving the truth! That truth must be confessed by your mouth! Merry Christmas! James & Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
