The Holy One of Israel has been very patient with the followers of the false prophet Mohammed in Indonesia but even His patience wears out and judgment must fall harder and harder on the wicked for their evil, and injustice.

| Christian ex-governor of Jakarta unjustly jailed |
The Christian ex-governor of Jakarta jailed under the false charge of blasphemy.
This Sindonesian injustice comes with a heavy price which Indonesia has just begun to suffer for their evil.
The wicked Muslims of Sindonesia followed in the footsteps of their unmerciful god of no compassion and demanded evil against a Christian and what we see happening there is an example of what has and will happen everywhere the King of the Universe and His followers are targeted for abuse by the dragon, Satan and his followers.
Watch China after the dragon, Satan's war on believers there with his puppet Xi.

As I wrote the other day ;
Scary Christmas and Shaky New Year!

The end of the road for the evil cabal !
The closer President Trump gets to unveiling his fake peace plan for Israel the more cut in pieces he and his administration are, and the more divided, cut in pieces America becomes.
This America arrogance and evil in dividing Israel which began long ago with the degenerate Democrats (Carter) under the guise of peace has reached it's end and we shall all see what God meant when He said ;
And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

WHY 33 DAYS
for Mariam's purification, under the Law of Moses?
Two turtledoves or two pigeons were required by The Law if the family could not afford a lamb. See Leviticus 12:8.

from the Spurgeon study bible (I think ?)
The incarnation and birth of Christ
“But
thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of
Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler
in Israel; whose goings forth have been from old, from everlasting.”
Micah 5:2
“Go,”
saith the Father, “and thy Father’s blessing on thy head!” Then comes
the unrobing. How do angels crowd around to see the Son of God take off
his robes! He laid aside his crown; he said, “My father, I am Lord over
all, blessed for ever, but I will lay my crown aside, and be as mortal
men are.”
He strips himself of his bright vest of glory; “Father,” he
says, “I will wear a robe of clay, just such as men wear.”
Then he takes
off all those jewels wherewith he was glorified; he lays aside his
starry mantles and robes of light, to dress himself in the simple
garments of the peasant of Galilee.
What a solemn disrobing that must
have been! And next, can you picture the dismissal!
The angels attend
the Saviour through the streets, until they approach the doors; when an
angel cries, “Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lifted up ye
everlasting doors, and let the king of glory through!”
I think the
angels must have wept when they lost the company of Jesus—when the Sun
of heaven bereaved them of all its light. But they went after him.
They
descended with him; and when his spirit entered into flesh, and he
became a babe, he was attended by that mighty host of angels, who after
they had been with him to Bethlehem’s manger, and seen him safely laid
on his mother’s breast, in their journey upwards appeared to the
shepherds and told them that he was born king of the Jews.
The Father
sent him! Contemplate that subject. Let your soul get hold of it, and in
every period of his life think that he suffered what the Father willed;
that every step of his life was marked with the approval of the great I
AM.
For meditation:
When we think of the birth of the Son of God, our eyes are rightly
focused on earth. But are we in danger of forgetting God the Father in
heaven, the one who so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten
Son (
John 3:16)? May we remember to give “Glory to God in the highest” (
Luke 2:14).

A Psalm of Thanksgiving for God’s Justice
To the Chief Musician; on Muth-labben. A Psalm of David.
I will give thanks and praise the Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell aloud all Your wonders and marvelous deeds.
I will rejoice and exult in you;
I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
When my enemies turn back,
They stumble and perish before You.
For You have maintained my right and my cause;
You have sat on the throne judging righteously.
You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked and unrepentant;
You have wiped out their name forever and ever.

The enemy has been cut off and has vanished in everlasting ruins,
You have uprooted their cities;
The very memory of them has perished.
But the Lord will remain and sit enthroned forever;
He has prepared and established His throne for judgment.
And He will judge the world in righteousness;
He will execute judgment for the nations with fairness (equity).
The Lord also will be a refuge and a stronghold for the oppressed,
A refuge in times of trouble;
And those who know Your name [who have experienced Your precious mercy] will put their confident trust in You,
For You, O Lord, have not abandoned those who seek You.
Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion;
Declare among the peoples His [great and wondrous] deeds.
For He who avenges blood [unjustly shed] remembers them (His people);
He does not forget the cry of the afflicted and abused.
Have mercy on me and be gracious to me, O Lord;
See how I am afflicted by those who hate me,
You who lift me up from the gates of death,
That I may tell aloud all Your praises,
That in the gates of the daughter of Zion (Jerusalem)
I may rejoice in Your salvation and Your help.
The nations have sunk down in the pit which they have made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.
The Lord has made Himself known;
He executes judgment;
The wicked are trapped by the work of their own hands. Higgaion (meditation) Selah.
The wicked will turn to Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead),
Even all the nations who forget God.
For the poor will not always be forgotten,
Nor the hope of the burdened perish forever.
Arise, O Lord, do not let man prevail;
Let the nations be judged before You.
Put them in [reverent] fear of You, O Lord,
So that the nations may know they are but [frail and mortal] men. Selah.
Psalms 9
