Grace and peace in Messiah for the new year,
God has left Himself a witness to all the world by sovereignly seeing to it that people everywhere have to pay homage to His Son Yeshua in beginning new years at this time each year till now for nearly 2000 years. Other cultures may have their own reckoning, but the Sovereign Lord of history has them all bowing the knee and confessing with their mouths the pre-eminency of the Son of God/the Son of Man, both of the Jews and also of the Gentiles. This new year brings us that much nearer to the return of the Righteous Judge of all the Earth and King of Peace; the anti-christ spirit in the world will intensify and make further inroads through the falling away of those who know the truth but have given parts of it over to those who will profane it/Him. As the Lord Jesus warned us, let us be watchful and prayerful that we not fall into temptation. (I’m not sure that I will succeed in this if Peter, John, and James (Jacob) didn’t, but at least we have the Holy Spirit in us to help us.)
