Merry Christmas – OmegaBooks

First off, a Merry Christmas to all readers and followers, and to those who have websites and blogs I follow as well. On top of that, have a blessed New Year.

Christmas of course is the celebration of the birth of Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, regardless of whether one thinks He was born on December 25 or not. Many claim He was born more likely in fall or autumn due to the fact within the Gospels that harvest time was near, and others claim that the date of December 25 was chosen by early religious authorities to appeal to the pagans who worshiped Mithras and other false gods who supposedly were born on December 25. The fact that He was born is good enough for me!

Further, the Biblical Book of Isaiah, Chapter 53, prophesies His birth and purpose, using passages such as—verse 4: Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; verse 5: But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.; verse 7: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter,; verse 12: he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. And other verses. In Isaiah Chapter 7 is this key prophetic verse 14: Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. The Gospel of Matthew Chapter 1 verse 23 verifies this prophecy: Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Speaking of ‘prophecy,’ just as my The Prodigal Band Trilogy is called what it is called because the Gospel of Luke Chapter 15 Parable of the Prodigal Son was a key inspiration for the trilogy, the second novel of the trilogy is called The Prophesied Band for a reason: it contains ‘prophesies’ or, really, predictions, about the future, including some ‘end-times’-like scenarios—when the novel was published in 1998.

Here are some examples, or should I say, snippets indicating predictions which seem to be happening in these days, all from The Prophesied Band.

Readers and followers of this site as well as the Omega Books blog have been a blessing to me and my ‘mission’ to tell the world about the benefits and blessings of accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior using the story of a fictitious rock and roll band modelled after Luke 15’s The Parable of the Prodigal Son as inspiration. There are now over 100 followers and likely close to 1,000 downloads of my FREE PDF novel The Prodigal Band. While I do not have a lot of book sales, I am doing fine financially and in these days of Covid hysteria promoted by the mainstream and alternative media click-bait artists as well as various government bodies, the Lord has blessed me with several visits from loved ones over the past two years…no lockdowns for us! When we went to El Paso to shop the past couple of days we didn’t even have to wear a mask, and no one bullied us over it either. (Folks, there are advantages with living in rural remote far west Texas).

The next post will be in early January, 2022, but not sure what the post will be, and it could be something completely different…I’m running out of snippet categories!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Blessings!
