Every day miracles occur.  The problem is, we often aren’t watching for them.  Today people often say they do not believe (in much of anything).  Once in awhile however, there are occasions where miracles are hard to ignore.  And, better yet, they are all too often not shared with others to help with ridding the public of disbelief.

Recently one of those occasions occurred, but of course the media is not reporting it.  What makes this ‘experience‘ significant is it involves someone who we typically don’t see as religious — at all.  Angelina Jolie has been a known quantity for some time.  But we don’t equate her with anything remotely religious.

Read the following article and pray that this experience helps bring others to God.

Discovering the power of prayer

For those of you who have participated in this program at church, this article gives new meaning to the impact it can have on people.

However, if you never heard of it before, here’s the basic idea.  Christians around the world buy toys (gifts) for kids and put them into a shoebox.  They are then taken to the person’s church and distributed around the world.  Children all over the world who never even get to see a toy suddenly own one!  A great example of good people touching the lives of others.

The following article was submitted by Prophecy Newswatch.  It is about a couple that had their lives changed by one shoebox being sent to the Philippines.  An inspirational story for a Christmas season for sure.

You may have heard this story before, but given this time of year, it is appropriate to share this moving tribute to one great guy.  He demonstrates how our ‘small token’ of sharing can often have so significant an impact on others.  Please view the video below.  My guess is, if you start it, you will finish it.

A 27 Year Old Military Pilot’s Story

To add a little something of an uplifting nature (for a change), I’ve added this short video which captures a group singing a great Christmas carol in a Capella!  Pretty talented!!

That’s Christmas to Me

For those who are not religious at all, you may not find this post of particular interest.  However, for those who ‘believe’, this should be of significant import to you because the subject lunar phenomena has significant importance when they fall on Jewish holidays — as is the case of the one we are in now! 

First, let’s define exactly what we are talking about.  I refer to what is called a tetrad, which is four blood moons occurring within a one year time-frame with each of them falling on a Jewish holiday, and with a full solar eclipse in the middle.  This has only occurred three times since Christ was on earth.  We are now in the fourth occurrence as of April 15th, 2014.  Atheists refer to these as just happenstance.  However, they also refer to all of the blood moons that have occurred without specific particulars and with no mention of the Jewish holidays — which is what makes these distinctive.  The previous occurrences in history were: 1493-1494, 1949-1950, 1967-1968.

So what happened around the times of the first three you ask. 

In 1492 Columbus sailed from Spain to ultimately find the American continent.  So what’s the big deal?  It is conjectured by some that Columbus was secretly Jewish and/or was contacted by the Jews in Spain to help them flee the country.  Why?  Because queen Isabella ordered all Jews out of the country within ‘two weeks’.  (And were instructed to leave all their worthwhile worldly possessions behind.)  Consequently they wanted to find a place to run to — quick.  And because no countries at the time wanted them to move to their country, they had to find a new place to live. 

It was in 1948 that Jerusalem was formed as a Jewish state — hence the 1949-1950 tetrad.  This was done as a result of the 2nd world war and the extermination of six millions Jews.  (Obviously of significance to the Jews.) 

In 1968 the six-day war occurred which was fought between the Jews (Israel), Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and Lebanon.  While out numbered, out gunned, and flanked on all sides by people who wanted to kill all Jews, the tiny state of Israel beat all of their foes in ‘six days’!!  A noteworthy experience for sure.  (See details for that operation here.)

Which now leads us to today’s tetrad — 2014-2015.  So the question is, “What is this tetrad’s purpose?  What is it that God wants to bring our attention? 

Obviously I am in no position to make hasty claims.  But, may I point out at least three key facts?

1. All previous tetrads have not just fallen on Jewish holidays, but they were related to the Jewish people. 
2. There now exists conflict in the middle-east that is probably the most significant of its type in recent history.
3. And lastly, it should be noted that there are more Jews in the U.S. than in Israel.

So what can we presume from all of this?  It is hard to say, but it is my guess that it will be pretty spectacular!  I also wouldn’t rule out it including the USA. 

Also of interest is another phenomena which is occurring next year — a Shemitah year.  A Shemitah year is one which is defined in Jewish history.  It is a year where the Jews are to not harvest their crops.  The purpose is that God instructed them to do this to honor Him.  What is key to us, is that this year (2015) is also defined as a harbinger year.  The last harbinger year (2008) was when our stock market crashed.  The one prior (2001) was when 911 occurred! 

My point is, we all should be getting ready for potential problems in our near future.
