Christmas: The exclusive celebration of the Incarnation of the Word of God as Jesus Christ

While it is true that we have no specific command to celebrate Christmas on a particular day or way, it is not true at all that such is prohibited or is a “Christianized” pagan rite. Very plainly the angels celebrated the Incarnation of the Word of God as a blessing for themselves and all men.

Luke 2:10-14 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord And this [shall be] a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Until the Incarnation of the Word of God in flesh, and until His life and Word as witness had been published and He hated by the world and crucified and Resurrected, there were things waiting in heaven itself to be accomplished and which could only be accomplished by the One who had overcome in order to do those very things.

Ezekiel 21:26 –thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Remove the mitre and take off the crown; what is shall be no more. Exalt that which is low, and abase that which is high. I will overturn, overturn, overturn it! This also shall be no more , until he come whose right it is; and I will give it to him .

We see plainly that the book which when opened by Jesus Christ, (the seals were broken/opened in their order by the Lamb) brought about the completion of the age as He read it: the seven seals were broken in which the wrath of God was completed. Until the Word of God as Jesus Christ had been Incarnated, such a realization of the ending was simply a prophecy among the angels and men in a ageless war. While we have a sure Word of what the end will be, the Word we and heaven now have jointly was NOT known in heaven or on earth except by God until Jesus Christ was found worthy to open the book:

Revelation 5:1-14 And I saw on the right hand of him that sat upon the throne a book, written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to break its seals? And no one was able in the heaven, or upon the earth, or underneath the earth, to open the book, or to regard it. And *I* wept much because no one had been found worthy to open the book nor to regard it. And one of the elders says to me, Do not weep. Behold, the lion which is of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, has overcome so as to open the book, and its seven seals. And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God which are sent into all the earth: and it came and took it out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. And when it took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, having each a harp and golden bowls full of incenses, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sing a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open its seals; because thou hast been slain, and hast redeemed to God, by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation, and made them to our God kings and priests; and they shall reign over the earth. And I saw, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and their number was ten thousands of ten thousands and thousands of thousands; saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that has been slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. And every creature which is in the heaven and upon the earth and under the earth, and those that are upon the sea, and all things in them, heard I saying, To him that sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb, blessing, and honour, and glory, and might, to the ages of ages. And the four living creatures said, Amen; and the elders fell down and did homage.

Plainly celebrating the Incarnation of the Word of God is not unjust or selfish even if part of that celebration is a blessing on unjust merchants.

Luke Two is a blessing. But so is John One.

John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

The celebration of both portions of His total kingdom of the heavens and the earth is just and righteous for the righteous and the pure. But nothing is holy for the wicked and no amount of trying to merely avoid the wicked being blessed as part of a just loathing of wickedness does away the with glory of God in Jesus Christ in any way. While Lucifer and anti-Christ would love to do away with the celebration of Christmas as the celebration of the Incarnation of the Word of God in the guise of supposed religious principle of purity, his lies are plainly evident. Lucifer and anti-Christ, with their constant lies of “Christianity started with the a man named Jesus” would love for all to forget that in the Old Testament the phrase “and the Word of Jehovah came unto me Saying..” as personafying the pre-Incarnate Word of God which was God before anything was created by Him.

We have salvation as a result of the Incarnation, Preaching, Miracles, Witness, persecution by the Lucifer and anti-Christ through men, Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Yet we also have the Word Himself as both Creator and Redeemer and Author and Opener of the Books which must be read for all in his kingdom to blessed as a result of that initial Incarnation.

Merry Christmas. The Lamb that has overcome, the Lion of Judah and the Word of God has opened the seals and the last act is being worked out.

John 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Daniel 11:36 … for that that is determined shall be done.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
