Called By Christ To Be ONE: Still and always the most significant person in world history

Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Still and always the most significant person in world history

Exclusive: Hanne Nabintu Herland on how Christmas was pagan, Christian and now pagan again

As yet another paganized Western Christmas celebration has come to an end, we are drifting further away from the deeper meaning of existence found in the Nativity of Christ' story.

Christmas is now a generic, winter holiday that serves consumerism and atheist pop culture. It is about decorations, mistletoe, chocolates, gift-giving and celebrating evergreens. Santa Claus – originally Saint Nicholas (270-343), one of the greatest Church Fathers – has become a bizarre, pop-culture fixation that works excellently in retail markets. Each year,$1 trillion is spent on Christmas gifts and festivities, many going into debt to meet the holiday expectations.

This was recently pointed out by Strategos History' editor, author Simon Vincent, who explains how Christmas has been "appropriated by secular forces, and redesigned as a time for unrestricted indulgence in food and alcohol, all in the name of Santa." Christmas, it is claimed, was originally a pagan festival, a Roman Saturnalia hedonist feast or a Yule in Germanic paganism that was "stolen" by the early Christians.

The drastic reinvention of Christmas has happened over the past 150 years, Simon Vincent points out, as "Santa Claus has replaced Christ and lavish gluttony has replaced the humble Nativity Fast. Obsessive materialism in the form of stress-inducing gift shopping has replaced charitable care for the poor and sick. A season for a trillion dollars in revenue has replaced a season for spiritual reconciliation with God. It is actually the modern man that has copied pagan Saturnalia and called it Christmas."

The nihilist twisting of historical facts in order to diminish the deeply spiritual meaning of the Nativity story of Jesus, speaks volumes of the diminishing awareness in the West of its own recipe of success in history.

When reexamining the Christian roots Western civilization, it is impossible to exaggerate the importance of the Eastern philosopher, Jesus' influence on the West. The message of the world's most famous spiritual leader was revolutionary in its definition of the value of each human life. Robert Palmer, a distinguished historian at Princeton and Yale, state in "A History of the Modern World" that Christian philosophy was revolutionary in that its definition of humanity was inclusive of all people.

It was Christianity that introduced the principle of equality, which unleashed the remarkable idea that each man, regardless of class, gender, race or status has a genuine worth. Christian theology in the Middle Ages and Spanish scholasticism was the origins of what we call modern human rights.

The founding father of what today the largest religion in the world, with over 2 billion followers, the very image of God – Jesus son of Mary – outlined the solution to civil strife, division, hatred and war. His message was that of humility and love, opening man's heart to the realities of the deeper metaphysical dimensions, revealing the meaning of existence in communion with God.

The Christian Christmas message leads man out of this earth's darkness and chaos, and into the light. It provides a path to save man's soul from meaninglessness, greed and desperation. It gives answers to existential, inner questions about the very meaning of life. The entry of God's existential light into the world is why we celebrate Christmas.

H. G. Wells, the famous English writer, commented: "I am an historian, I am not a believer, but I must confess as a historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center of history. Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all history."

Jesus is repeatedly voted the most significant person in world history, as described by professor Steven Skiena and Charles Ward in "Who's Bigger? Where Historical Figures Really Rank."

"As the centuries pass, the evidence is accumulating that, measured by his effect on history, Jesus is the most influential life ever lived on this planet," writes historian Kenneth Scott Latourette.

The revolutionary story of Jesus – all he said and did from his birth in Bethlehem to his death in Jerusalem – is described in the Bible, the Holy Scriptures.

This is the most-read book in world history and the most significant historical text in our civilization.

About this book, the first president of the United States, George Washington (1732-1799), said: "It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible."

Immanuel Kant, German philosopher (1724-1804), summed up the Jesus impact this way: "I believe that the existence of the Bible is the greatest benefit to the human race. Any attempt to belittle it, I believe, is a crime against humanity."
