"..And Simeon blessed them, Behold this child is
set for the fall and rising again of many in
Israel; and for a sign which SHALL BE SPOKEN
AGAINST; 35..(Yea, a sword shall pierce through
thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many
hearts may be revealed." Luke 2:34-35
Every ungodly
profanity bears testimony that Jesus is a sign
that would be spoken against. Jesus is the only
one the atheists fight, as Simeon testified to
Mary.
WHERE
JESUS LIVED
The course of
World Empires had moved from Egypt to Assyria,
to Babylon, to Medo-Persia, to Greece.....
Greece developed the city-state during the
period between the Old and New Testaments.
Socrates the Greek Philosopher was a
contemporary of Malachi ...... In 27 B.C. the
Roman Republic under its first Emperor, Caesar
Augustus, became the Roman Empire.... Thus Jesus
and the Roman Empire grew up at the same time.
Thirty three years later the Early Church and
the Roman Empire continued to grow at the same
time.
The Romans
called the Mediterranean Sea "Mare Nostra", Our
sea. They controlled its entire
perimeter.....Except for a short time in Egypt,
Jesus spent his entire life in a small area
southeast of the Mediterranean
Sea.
Jesus was
born about 5 B.C. in the Year of Rome 749 and
the Year of the World 3970 at the season when
other Passover Lambs were born. Herod the Great
(who gave the order to kill all children of
Bethlehem two years old and under) died on the
13th of March 4 B.C. (about 18 months after the
birth of Jesus.)
"The Jewish
100", a ranking of the most influential Jews of
all time, ranks Jesus at the top next to Moses.
Every
newspaper, every calendar, every letter gives
testimony to the birth of Jesus. No one else who
ever lived has trillions of pieces of literature
marked with the year of their birth. Every
church steeple and spire across the world
testifies of Jesus.
