Many fascinating things can be learned from the Christmas story! One thing cannot be denied! God always wanted a family! He started off creating one man and one woman! Not two men or two women but one man and one woman! The challenge got bigger when God wanted a son born of human parents! He looked over His creation to find the right parents. They had to be Jew for salvation comes by the Jew! The new millennium had just begun and the signs in the Heaven and earth were just right! The virgin birth predicted hundreds of years before by the Prophets was ripe for fulfillment! God found a young Jewish couple from Nazareth that were about to be engaged. Their names were Joseph and Mary. Then Joseph found his espoused bride pregnant? Joseph minded to put her away privately! Then an Angel appeared unto Joseph and told him his bride Mary was conceived by the Holy Spirit! So Joseph became the step-father of Jesus! Years later Jesus told us that pure religion was taking care of widows and orphans! God always wanted children to have both parents! My Bible says God hates divorce! He wants to come to the aid of the victims! It seems American culture today does not hold the values God has established for the well being of the family? Jesus God’s son could not increase the size of His family until He went to the Cross! Today Jesus Father is your Father! Christmas means many things but most important you are now in God’s family now and forever! Pastor Oscar Cope, Mount Vernon Baptist Church, Fairburn, Georgia.

The Game is On! Bible Study
The game is not over but it is on! So when is the game over? When every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord! I want to give you the ancient nations as listed in our Bible and then i want you to see the modern nations that make up those ancient nations today! Let us start with the Persian Empire. The nations today that make up the Persian Empire are Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan! So when you read end-times prophecies in your Bible they include these nations! American’s have you already noticed something? It was the Persian Empire that attacked us on 9-11. Our wars in the Middle East since have been with the Persian Empire! President Obama pulling us out of Iraq and the treasures gift to Iran has strengthened the Persian Empire! Thankyou America says the Islamist! Russia or God and Magog have been strengthened thanks to Hillary Clinton’s reset button with Russia! They have since taken territory and are one of two major players in the Middle East including Iran now as America is on the decline! However there is a bigger picture at home in America! I like the Greek translation of the word Magog in the Book of Revelation! The word translates as an Anti-Christian party! Is that like the Democratic party? I want to wish you a ? Hold it! Is it a happy holiday? Season’s greetings? Happy stocking filler? Tensile holiday? Music festival? Sorry! I remember now! Merry Christmas! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Homosexuality 1 Corinthians 6:9
Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men having sex with men!
The Race Debate? Adolf Hitler
It was written in his book Mein Kamph that the reason he hated the Jews was because they were Communists! He thought they killed more than 30 million Russians? He said they killed the intelligent ones? There next target will be Germany! He thought if we do not defeat them now we will suffer the same fate! He thought the Jews would expand their rule through the Russian Revolution! He said he only hated them because they were Communists! He believed they were the forefathers of the left, Marxism and Hellenism! He thought they destroyed all values and poisoned all theater? At the time 7 large newspapers out of 10 were owned by the Jews in Germany! Comment: No doubt Lenin, Marx and Trotsky were Jews! However Hitler forgot that The Russian Revolution was supported by Germany during World War I. This history was available to him and the German people? Why were there no red flags in their minds about Hitler’s conclusions? Czar Nicholas II of Russia made a lot of mistakes ruling Russia! From 1914-1917 Russia lost 10 million troops in this war! The Ottomans (Muslims) and the Germans were fighting Russia in World War I. As Russia was imploding from within the socialist parties were gaining strength! Germany knew that if Russia imploded from within they would drop out of the war! So Germany supported the socialists who were in exile from Russia! Lenin was exiled by the Czar who was the leader of the Bolsheviks. Germany supported Lenin with money and provided transportation for him through Germany back to Russia! The Russian Czar was also married to a German born woman! So history shows us that the blunder was made by the German government who could have executed Lenin instead of supporting him? President Woodrow Wilson offered Russia 300 million dollars to stay in the war with Germany! The Russians declined and so the United States enters the war in 1917. The Russian Revolution was really a bloodless coup but a civil war followed from 1918-1923. This was the war between the White army (land owners) and the Red army (Communists). This is where 10-15 million Russians died from war, disease, hunger and the Russian winters! The Jews suffered right along with the population during this civil war! Also the United States, Japan and others supported the White army (Land owners) during this civil war! Czar Nicholas and his entire family were executed! Hitler’s flawed reasoning for hating the Jews is based on no understanding of history! Germany helped Lenin succeed! Our Savior Jesus Christ is a Jew! Did the Christians in Germany not get that? We also know from the Bible that the anti-Christ will be a homosexual and a Jew! So we have the Savior and the destroyer of the world who are both Jewish! Race is the most deceptive tool Satan uses to get people to war against each other! My Bible says that greater in He who is in you than he who is in the world! That includes your race! Thankyou.

Human Progress!
The whole hope of human progress is suspended on the ever-growing influence of the Bible! William H. Seward (1801-1872) He was Secretary of State from 1861-1869. He was a governor of New York and a United States senator!
Is God a Show Off? 2 Kings 5:11-14
Naaman the Captain of the Syrian Army had trouble following simple directions! Can i get a witness? First of all he was informed by his Jewish servant girl who was captured and made a slave through the spoils of war that there was a God in Israel who could heal his leprocy! Then Naaman sends money to the King of Israel trying to buy his healing? The King of Israel rent his clothes saying am i God? So Naaman mounts up his chariots with his army and heads for Israel! He stops his chariot at the front door of the Prophet Elisha! Elisha does not go out to meet the Captain but sends his servant girl out to tell him to dip in the Jordan River seven times! Naaman lost his cool! Naaman thought God would come down in a bolt of lightning and make a big show for the world to see! Like dazzle the elite! The Bible says Naaman left in a rage! Are there not better rivers in Syria? Well more servants saved the day! Naaman’s servants asked him why not just follow the directions? Naaman took their advice and dipped in the Jordon seven times and got healed! It was a humble little servant girl that birthed forth Jesus! The Angel went to the humble shepherds to announce the birth of Christ! God did not make a big show! He appears to a few to save many! Pride can keep you out of God’s purpose and plan for your life! About 60 years ago there was a young man dying of tuberculosis in the slums of Seoul Korea! The doctor sent him home to die! He was coughing up blood! A little teenage girl would come by each day as he lay on his cot dying and pray for him. He would insult her, spit on her and call her a Christian dog! She asked him if he would surrender his life to Christ? She kept praying and his health improved! God healed him and he started a ministry in the slums of Seoul Korea! Today this church has over one million members and is the world’s largest church! Pastor Cho commissioned us as missionaries to India from 1984-1987. Pastor Cho could never find this teenage girl even though he has looked for past 60 years? The world and even some in the church think you are wasting your time praying for the sick and dying! No money in it for me? Waste of my time? God will use what the world discounts or throws away to bring Glory to His Name! God’s love never discounts anyone! Not even you! James and Hamsa Sasse.

History and Faith! Joshua 10:12-13
If the Lord did stay the sun for a whole day then this should show up in historical records of other cultures because it would affect the whole earth! The records of the Chinese during the reign of Emperor Yeo, who lived at the same time as Joshua reports a ‘long day’. Heroditus, a Greek historian wrote that an account of a ‘long day’appears in the records of Egyptian priests! Another record in Mexico reports the same standing still for an entire day denoted as ‘seven rabits’, which is the same year as Joshua defeated the Philistines! The historical record of the Aztecs, Peruvians and Babylonians speak of a ‘day of twice natural length’. History and science support our Bible and it is the most dependable literature in existence!

Gays and Abortion! 2 Kings 23:7-10
King Josiah of Judah was a reformer! Previous Kings or political leaders established evil as the acceptable behavior! Jerusalem and the surrounding country was polluted with high places of idol worship and wicked lifestyles! Josiah took action and destroyed the high places and the wicked priests! Verse seven says he broke down the houses of the wicked sodomites that were located by the House of the Lord! Homosexual prostitutes set up their operations next to the House of Worship! Today in America they are in the House of the Lord! They are ordained priests in the church! It goes on in verse 10 that Josiah destroyed the Temples of Moloch! Moloch was a god that required child sacrifice for worship! The Altar of Abortion sacrifices millions of children in America! The children are murdered with our tax money! The decline of America that Obama wants is coming to pass! It will be replaced with a one world government as our Bible predicts! There will be no borders for sovereign states! Then as the anti-christ and the false prophet control the world they will require worship from you! Your choice will be worship or death! Who will the false prophet or world religious leader be? Who will be the anti-christ be? We know from scripture that the anti-christ will rule from Jerusalem and the false prophet from Rome! We know the anti-christ will be a Jew and will be a homosexual! I believe the false prophet will be a Muslim! A Jew and a Muslim will rule the world for 7 years! Then Christ returns to earth to rule the earth for a thousand years! The church will be taken up to Heaven just preceding the tribulation period of seven years! Our Christ, the anti-christ and the false prophet! The good and the bad and the ugly! If Hillary takes the White House the end times prophecy will accelerate! We could easily merge into the one world system as she continues to sell out America for cash! Under her rule Islam will grow rapidly since she owes the Muslims millions of dollars worth of favors! Abortion will increase and more children sacrificed! This election is about the destiny of America! God is no respecter of persons! The righteous are saved and the wicked condemned to Hell! God does not change but we have to! When time closes for all of us in this life our decisions determine our destiny! Choose life and Christ and not death! God Bless! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Pride! 2 Kings 20:17-18
Please don’t get me wrong! King Hezekiah was a good man! God healed him from death, turned back time for him and added 15 years to his life! Pride is the most celebrated word in America but the least talked about word in the church! Gay pride day? Pride is like a bottle of poison that tastes like candy with no warning label on it! It always follows success! If you do not believe you suffer from episodes of pride then you are as blind as our first parents Adam and Eve! We have ten words for pride in the Hebrew and three words in the Greek in our Bible. Here are some definitions for pride from these root words; Arrogancy, swelling, pomp, haughtiness, loftiness, elation, grandeur, proud, raging, exhaultation, presumption, self-confident boasting, smoke without flame or smoltering, and ties and binding. Remember Samson got tied! The word i have not listed yet is the one i like best! Pride means to turn your back! Some people turn their back on God! Peter did! I don’t know him? Jesus did not turn his back on Peter! Have people turned their backs on you? Friends or family? Church members or a Priest or Pastor? Have we turned our backs on them? I have asked Jesus why i should try to establish a relationship with them? Jesus asked me do i want to be like them or like me? The Middle Eastern Christians who were beheaded this past two years did not turn their backs on Jesus! Do we turn our backs on the poor, widows, orphans and single moms? After success King Hezekiah showed off his wealth to the Babylonians! After this Isaiah warned him that this would result in Babylonian captivity and his sons would live in their palace court as eunuchs! We believe Daniel was a eunuch in the court there during their 70 year captivity however it did not impede his Prophetic words as recorded in our Bible! Pride was the very first sin and the sin that causes us to turn our backs on God and others! Humble yourself that you may turn people’s heart towards God! Jesus humbled himself even to death on a Cross! Thankyou James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Science and Faith Psalm 90:10
It has been said that those good in the sciences are good in math! We have a Book in the Bible named Numbers! God is so merciful i can even figure out Numerology in the Bible! King David wrote this Psalm around 1000 B.C So the above scripture was written about 3000 years ago! David was inspired by the Holy Spirit when God told him few people live past 70 years old! So how would science verify the Bible? How would we do the math? I know some people lie about their age like Bob Hope and Jack Benny! However except for Obama birth certificates and death certificates tell the story! I went to the 2010 census report for the United States. This report is done every 10 years. They have a category for the 65-74 age group which includes both men and women. According to the chart those living in this category make up 7 percent of the population! So what percent are living in the 70-74 age group? No data but you can figure about 2 percent or less? What are the percentages for 3rd world countries? The health care industry and the whole food industries do not want you to see these statistics! However they can improve you quality of life but not your length of life! Everyone wants to be in that number when the Saints go marching in! However all go marching out! This is March madness and turbo shakes will not change your score! Thankyou.
