Some of the most exciting insights is that ALL ACTUAL EVIDENCE - Scriptural, linguistic & sociological - INDICATES that the Angelic Annunciation of Christ's Birth was made to 'Lady-Shepherds', and that 'Children of all ages - with their Pet-Sheep-Dogs' - and their 'Mothers, Grandparents & likely a Great-Grandparent or two, were ALL at the Nativity!

THE MAGI‘S-GIFTS

Learn how the ‘Gifts of the Magi’ SPECIFICALLY met the needs of Joseph & Mary's 'Night-Flight' into Egypt:

> > 'Gold' provided for finances: to get to Egypt, live on as needed and return to Israel when Herod was dead.

> > 'Frankincense' is a great immune-system strengthener and fighter of infections & diseases of all kinds - very important for moving to a new country: Egypt.

VIRGIN MARY NEARLY STONED

Though very disturbing to our hearts, we learn how Virgin Mary was 'Cast out of her Synagogue' when Joseph began 'private divorce proceedings' (Mat 1.19), how they talked of stoning her to death, how her parents also cast her out of the home & family . . .

. . . how young Mary FLED in distress - and to some degree for her life - over 100 miles (perhaps by foot) to seek refuge with her far-removed & aging Aunt Elizabeth - who also happened to be miraculously pregnant: for “Baby John” who became "The Baptist".

Obviously, Elizabeth BELIEVED Mary's story about the Angel's Annunciation of her Virgin Birth of Jesus-the-Christ - and TOOK HER IN, HIDING HER from the Galileans!

Mary truly suffered unbelievable heartache at being rejected by her 'Church' (Synagogue), family, fianceé & friends - her support-group threatening to stone her to death - even though she may have been the purest person on Earth!

God compensated her in three ways:

[1] SHE WAS the Sacred Mother of the Christ Child: SHE bore Him, SHE raised Him, SHE was with Him at His Death-Resurrection & Ascension, and SHE - for ALL eternity - will have THIS exalted position!

[2] Though ALWAYS rejected by her earthly family, friends & Synagogue, her story of the Virgin Birth was BELIEVED by ALL those who believed in her Son. Thus all of Christ's Disciples learned of her plight immediately and compensated accordingly, making her the Most Beloved of all Early Church Leaders, WHICH she was, for WHO she was.

[3] God promised that ALL generations would call her 'Blessed', and after 2000 years there is not the slightest waning in this quest. In fact, the largest dues-paying member organization on Earth are those in her Honor!

Merry Christmas!
