Sheep today graze on the hills surrounding Bethlehem. The red circle is the location of Bethlehem today.
“But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
Too little to be among the clans of Judah,
From you One will go forth for Me [Yahweh] to be ruler in Israel.
His goings forth are from long ago,
From the days of eternity.” Mic. 5:2
Micah 5:2 is an amazing prophecy of Israel's coming King. It specifically states Israel's Messiah will be born in Bethlehem. The verse also states the Messiah will bring lasting security and His rule will be eternal.
Ephrathah is the ancient name of Bethlehem and is directly tied together in these verses:
So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem). Gen. 35:19
... and may you achieve wealth in Ephrathah and become famous in Bethlehem. Ruth 4:11b
God wanted to make sure the prophecy about the coming Messiah being born in Bethlehem was understood to be the city located just five miles south of Jerusalem.
One reason for mentioning Ephrathah was that there were other cities named Bethlehem. In the United States there is Auburn, Washington, and Auburn, Alabama. There's Pittsburgh, PA and Pittsburgh, ND. And there are 47 cities named Washington in the U.S.
So to distinguish Bethlehem from say Bethlehem in Zebulum (Josh 19:15) the Lord tied Bethlehem to its ancient name Ephrathah (sometimes spelled "Ephrath").
Bethlehem was known for being where King David was born (1 Sam. 17:12). But Bethlehem's main claim to fame was being the place where almost all the sacrificial sheep were born. There were 20,000 or so sheep needed just for Passover each spring.
Today shepherds tend sheep around Bethlehem ... seen in the distance
Bethlehem's proximity to Jerusalem and its surrounding grassy lands made it a logical place to raise the tens of thousands of sacrificial sheep each year.
At the time of Jesus, in the weeks before Passover, shepherds would LEAD (literally) the sheep (In the U.S. we DRIVE the sheep) north to Jerusalem to be sold as Passover lambs.
So it's important to note that in the middle of all those thousands of sacrificial sheep being born, Jesus was born. John the Baptist tied this fact together while baptizing at the Jordan River.
The next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29
Kenny, our Israeli guide, points out Herod's Tomb, top left in the picture.
On trips to Israel it's easy to stand on the southern edge of Jerusalem and see across the shepherds' fields to Bethlehem. It's also interesting that you can see King Herod's tomb, a distant mountaintop prominently carved flat.
King Herod was a nasty man who was so worried about being dethroned that he had three of his sons killed, as well as one of his wives. When he knew he was dying he ordered many of the prominent men around the city to be rounded up. Once he died, they were to be killed to make the day of his death a day of great mourning.
Fortunately, just after Herod died his sister, Salome, rescinded the order.
So looking across that ancient terrain you have the King by Might contrasted with the King by Right.
Today, one is dead and One is alive.
Merry Christmas!

Excess Deaths In Britain

Why would they think we'd be concerned that the Covid va((ines would cause this??
Texas Sues Pfizer For False Advertising
Recently Texas launched extraordinary legal proceedings that could have wide-ranging political ramifications across the developed world.
Following a lengthy state investigation, Republican Attorney-General Ken Paxton sued pharmaceutical giant Pfizer for “false, deceptive, and misleading acts and practices” related to its Covid-19 vaccines.
Paxton didn’t mince words. “We are pursuing justice for the people of Texas, many of whom were coerced by tyrannical vaccine mandates to take a defective product sold by lies,” he said in his November 30 statement.
“The facts are clear. Pfizer did not tell the truth about their Covid-19 vaccines. Whereas the Biden administration weaponized the pandemic to force illegal public health decrees on the public and enrich pharmaceutical companies, I will use every tool I have to protect our citizens who were misled and harmed by Pfizer’s actions.”

100K Christians Forcibly Starved
Despite a near-total media blackout, 120,000 Armenian Orthodox Christians have been under blockade by their Muslim neighbors for pretty much the entirety of the year.
For nine months, these Armenian Christians were being starved to death by a blockade that was imposed on them by the government of Azerbaijan.
The area where these Christians were blockaded was the Nagorno-Karabakh region (or, as the Armenians call it, the Artsakh region). This is where tens of thousands of families were trapped and starved, until finally, in September, they accepted exile from the homeland and fled across the mountains to escape persecution.
While those in the West might look at what’s happening in Armenia as being completely separate from the war currently raging in Israel, it’s really worth mentioning that that’s not how the Muslim nations see it. For many Muslim leaders, this is all part of a broader conflict between the forces of the West (specifically Christendom and Judaism) versus the Islamic forces of the Middle East.
The Crusader-Crescent war that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan mentioned in a recent speech is a reference to the Christian crusaders versus the Crescent symbol of Islam. And he included what’s currently happening in Azerbaijan as just one example of that broader conflict—one battle in a larger war.

No wonder the bad guys love mail-in ballots!
17% of mail-in voters admit that in 2020 they voted in a state where they are “no longer a permanent resident”
21% of mail-in voters admitted that they filled out a ballot for a friend or family member.
17% of mail-in voters said they signed a ballot for a friend or family member “with or without his or her permission”
8% of likely voters say they were offered “pay” or a “reward” for voting in 2020.
The results of these survey questions show that voter fraud was widespread in the 2020 election, especially among those who cast mail-in ballots. If we have elections, expect this to happen again.

Fake Meat, Real Problems
Fake meats are not about your health or the environment—they’re a tool to phase out farmers and ranchers and replace them with an ultra-processed food product that can be controlled by patents.
Remember that if government and corporate entities are able to take control of the food supply via fake food, they also control the people.
Creating lab-grown meat is “insanely expensive” and plagued by bacterial and viral contamination.
Despite the pharmaceutical-style manufacturing, lab-grown meat isn’t considered a pharmaceutical product, which means no human testing is required.
You should direct your food dollars not to corporate supermarket chains or fake food products but to small farmers growing real food.
Expect the bad guys to ban canning in the future!

In the event of a banking collapse, whoever takes over a bank takes the bank’s assets as collateral. Your deposits are “owned by the bank.” If you have a mortgage (1st or 2nd or secured line of credit) the bank owns your house. Same with cars financed through the bank.
This means if the government steps in to “Save the day” those assets with bank liens would then be owned by the government. They will dictate the new terms of your loan. You will own nothing and be (forced to be) happy.
And if these assets now owned by the banks must be sold to pay the creditors, you only receive a pro-rata return. When you put money in the bank you’re in the position of an unsecured creditor….you split anything left after the secured creditors are paid.
Even stocks/securities are now not owned by you. Your broker statements make it LOOK like you own stocks, but ownership has been replaced with a new legal concept called “security entitlement.”
This means if the broker goes bankrupt, “Safe Harbor” goes into effect. Whoever takes over the brokerage only pays you a pro-rata amount of what’s left after the new owner takes what they think is fair. You have no input.
This new view of stock ownership also makes you an unsecured creditor, and it has quietly been upheld in the courts here in the U.S. and around the world. Again, this also includes bank deposits whether or not they exceed the $250,000 “insured by the FDIC.”
If a crash happens, it’s too late to do anything. I’m not giving financial advice! I’m just pointing out a Biblical warning of which we should be well aware:
The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower becomes the lender’s slave. Prov. 22:7
When you hear ding-bats screaming "From the river to the sea," they're saying they want Hamas to conquer Israel. But the Bible says that's not happening. Instead, a Jew will ultimately rule the world from Jerusalem. Go God.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to take up a Jan. 6 case that challenges the most frequently charged felony from that day could upend more than 330 criminal cases and eliminate the most potent weapon wielded by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
On Dec. 13, the High Court granted certiorari to a petition of appeal from Jan. 6 defendant Joseph W. Fischer, 57, of Jonestown, Pennsylvania.
Mr. Fischer is among the hundreds of defendants in cases regarding the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach who are charged with corruptly obstructing an “official proceeding”—the joint session of Congress that met to tally Electoral College votes and hear objections from members.
The DOJ put the Jan. 6 protesters in its sights with the unprecedented use of a 2002 evidence-tampering statute to prosecute them for delaying the counting of votes from the 2020 presidential election.
The Supreme Court's decision could knock the heart out of hundreds of prosecutions and quash the unorthodox use of a law not designed to apply to anything but corrupt accounting practices.
