Jesus Christ was the life of the Father revealed in the flesh, using a Jewish Body. He was the manifestation of the Father. When He came to the Jewish people, He was misunderstood because the Messiah they were expecting was a Messiah who would be like the kings of Israel in the past - like David, Solomon, and all of the Jewish kings of Israel who delivered the people of God from the bondage of other tribes. They thought that the salvation He brought to them as a Messiah was physical and political. But they were mistaken. He came not to save them from physical and political bondage.
The Messiah in the Jewish Setting
When Jesus Christ came, He was born into the body of the creation of the Father Himself. The story goes to say that when Joseph contemplated separating from Mary, an angel appeared and said, “Don’t separate from Mary because He that is in her womb is from the Holy Spirit.” (Matthew 1:20) It was the Holy Spirit that created that body because the Father cannot dwell in a body that is a descendant of Adam and Eve. Everybody is concluded under sin; everyone had sin and came short from the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) The Father had to have His own residence, which He made sinless, yet living in the human realm, spotless, yet living in sinful man.
He had to be born physically. That is why He was born of a woman. A woman was used, though spiritually, the father of that body was the Holy Spirit. So when He came, He could physically claim that He was the Son of God in the Jewish Setting. His purpose was to save the Jewish people spiritually, so He brought them a different kind of message – the message that physical bondage is nothing compared to spiritual bondage. To be saved or to be redeemed from your tormentors and oppressors, you have to be cut off from Satan first, because he is the greatest oppressor and tormentor.
They did not understand that. All they understood was the physical bondage. The tribes wanted to have a King, a Messiah that would finally save them from those physical forces around them. However, He did not come in that fashion. He came humbly, was born in a manger, lived with them, and grew up physically with them.
God had a different idea of salvation. They thought that the Old Testament righteousness was enough. But it wasn’t enough in the sight of God. They would have to be born again in the spirit. That is why Jesus Christ, who was the Son of God in the Jewish setting, came and wanted to redeem them. But they rejected Him.
Salvation unto the Gentiles
He came to us and recreated everything for us. He brought us the New Man, which is the fulfillment of the New Testament. He brought us the New Testament and the fulfillment of that is the production of the new man, having the body of the first Adam but born again of the Spirit of the second Adam, whose loyalty and obedience is only to the Father, using the Jewish Son as the model of Sonship.
Jesus Christ, who brought the New Testament to us, is now in the position of the Father. The New Testament was waiting to be fulfilled and He had to be the one to appoint a Son, as He appointed a Son in the Jewish Setting. Jesus Christ Himself, as the Father, would appoint a Son and an heir that will come from the descendants of Adam and Eve. Why? Because the descendants of Adam and Eve are the focus of His salvation. It no longer matters whether one is Jewish or Gentile, because all are concluded under sin. The descendants of Adam and Eve needed to be saved. When the Father is able to produce a New Man, salvation would be completed.
The Jewish race was the chosen people. They had their own religion, their own sets of laws, which were given by the prophets, beginning with Moses. The religious system of the day was already in place and they thought that their religious system was the one that was acceptable to God. They thought that their religious system would make them closer to God. It was not so, for it was just a shadow of the things to come. (Hebrews 10:1) When He came, the Jews were blinded by religion; they did not know who the King of Glory was.
In the Gentile Setting, Christianity is supposedly the one that will be saved by Jesus Christ when He comes back again for the second time, because Christianity came from the words, or from the name Christ, meaning the follower of Christ. So they all know that Jesus Christ is the Savior, they accepted Him, so on and so forth. Christianity flourished and formulated its own system that became the Christian religion. The Christian denominations around it became the daughter of the greatest Christian religion, which stemmed from Rome. This is what we call Christianity, formulated by those who are supposedly the followers of Christ.
The Coming of the Appointed Son
The appointed time came when the Father would choose a Gentile Son from the descendants of Adam and Eve to imbibe the spirit of the Son. But they did not understand this because as the Jewish people in the Jewish Setting were waiting for the Messiah to come from heaven with a shout, with power, with glory, so is the Christian world also waiting for the Messiah to come down from heaven, to save them through the Rapture by literally translating them up into the air, saving them from the corruption of this world and from the problems or enemies that are besetting them.
But that is not the way it is. The Father has to have an appointed Son, who will become the model of His salvation, just like in the Jewish Setting. And this time, He has to choose one who is a descendant of Adam and Eve, whose father and mother are human beings. He would be imbibed by the spirit of the Father. Satan would be overthrown from that body and then the Son would be produced. The Son will be loyal to His Father, just like the Jewish Son in the Jewish Setting was loyal to the Father.
And now, a Son has been produced out of the fallen Adamic race. The Father has now a dwelling place. The Messiah has finally come! But did they recognize it? No. I am shouting it here on TV, through the ACQ-KBN and what was the reaction of many of these religious leaders? It is the same as the reaction of the religious leaders in the days of Jesus Christ in the Jewish Setting. They rejected Him, maligned Him, beat Him, spat on Him, scoffed at Him, rejected Him, ridiculed Him and ascribed all kinds of evil against Him. They did not know that Jesus Christ would come in that manner, that He would produce a Son, and when that Son will come into the awareness of being mature in the will of the Father, he becomes the Son.
The Son means the residence of the Father, the manifestation of the Father, the manifestation of Jesus Christ, who is now the Father. The spirit of the Father now dwells in the body of His Appointed Son – who has been made the firstborn among the descendants of Adam and Eve, who are the focus of His salvation. Blessed are those that will accept it and in due time will know that what I am saying is true. Unfortunately, even when this is over, many will not even believe it. The glorification would come and would happen, yet they would still deny it.
How Christmas Should be Celebrated
Christmas loses its meaning when you do not know the purpose of the coming of the Son of God. He came so He could produce a Son, so He could make salvation take effect in the focus of His salvation, which is the progeny of Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve unfortunately are not here anymore but their descendants multiplied, to include you and me, and every race, every tribe, and everyone that calls himself or herself a human being, man or woman. They are the descendants of Adam and Eve and they should be saved, not by means of religion or by the ways and means of denomination that we know of today. No! It is always through the Son.
Many are celebrating Christmas in a shallow manner. For them it is just a holiday, a time of reunion, a time when we gather together. They just put up a Christmas tree, eat a sumptuous meal and enjoy the fellowship of family members. Many people use the symbol of Him being born in a manger, but it is all symbols!
He came so He could make salvation take effect and produce a Son through repentance. This is the only way Christmas would finally have meaning.
The real meaning of Christmas is when we are born in His spirit. The celebration of Christmas means He was born and now He is also born in us. His Spirit is born in us and we are His children—His sons and daughters, who are born of the new spirit of obedience through repentance.
So whether we celebrate Christmas or not, the most important thing in the life of a person is to repent and be born again in the spirit and become a child of God and come into the Kingdom and serve the Father. The model is the Son.
When we celebrate Christmas, we put up a Christmas tree and we have a sumptuous meal to thank the Father for what He has done. But our celebration is not shallow because we went deeper into the meaning of why He came for the first time. The purpose of His coming is to save us and the only way He can save us is when He finally can live in us, when His Spirit can live in us, unlike the religious and denominational way where you raise your hands and then accept Him as your savior.
Do you think He has already lived in you by faith? No! It is through the spirit of obedience that will be given to us as gift from Him after we repent. It is impossible to receive that spirit without repentance. It is impossible for us to change without us desiring for it and without us cooperating with the Almighty Father through repentance.
The Real Meaning of Christmas
So, whether you celebrate Christmas or not, it does not matter at all. We are celebrating it knowing the purpose of His coming. So, when we celebrate it as we do here in the Kingdom, we are thankful that He came for the first time and we understood why He came. We understood and we received that purpose. The purpose is for us to be born again in His Spirit through repentance and then come into the Kingdom of God and become His children – His sons and daughters. This is fulfilled in our life today.
There are so called Christians who believe in Jesus Christ but they do not believe in the celebration of Christmas. As I said, it does not affect your salvation. The most important thing is repentance.
A Special Pronouncement of Blessings
I would like to pronounce a special blessing for you this Christmas. May the Father bless you abundantly and may the desire of your heart be fulfilled by the Father in your life. May He shower upon you blessings that you need this Christmas. Remember, He came to save you not only from your physical bondage, but most especially from your spiritual bondage. So the greatest gift that you will receive from Him is when you come to repent and be given a new spirit. The blessings that will come after seeking the Kingdom of God will be yours. All of these things will be added unto you, child of God, son and daughter of God, do not worry about your life. Put them into the hands of your Creator and you will receive the greatest gift this Christmas, His life, and you, being born again in the Spirit, will become His son or daughter, and He becomes your Father. A relationship is formed. Receive this gift today. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
