    Luke 1:67-80( Zechariah's Song)
    " 67 His father Zechariah was filled with Holy Spirit(😊❤) and prophesied:

    fourteen from David(😊❤) to exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ( Jesus😊❤)."( Matthew 1:17 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
    So that Luke 1:69-70 again make sense in the Bible

Only God knows why i share this before resume back to Luke 1:74-80
    "74( a) to Rescue us from the hand of our enemies( pause. Jesus said love our enemies. In Jesus'name, i pray( Matthew 5:43-48). Amen.
    Jesus said in red words in Christ.
    Matthew 5:43-48(Love for Enemies, NIV) Jesus quoted and said in the Bible.

      Genesis 8:6-12
      "6 At the end of forty (40)
      days Noah(😊❤) and all the beasts( all the clean and unclean animals and birds except sea animals) and all the livestock that were with him in the ark.
      And God(😊100%❤)
      made a wind
      blow over
      the earth, and
      the waters
      subsided(❤).
      2 The fountains
      of the deep and
      the windows of heaven( or rains) were closed, the rain( see 😊❤) from the heavens( remembering in Genesis 1:1 that God created heavens and earth that we live in remember?) was restrained,
      3 and the water receded from the earth continually. At the end of 150 days the waters had abated,
      4 and in the seventh(7th) month, on the seventeenth( 17th) day of the month,
      the ark
      came to rest
      on the mountain of Ararat.
      5 And the water continued to abate until the tenth( 10th) month;
      in the tenth(10th) month,
      on the first day of the month,
      the tops of the mountain were seen."(Genesis 8:1-5 ESV and all parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ Jesus(😊1st❤) also for and in Christ Jesus. God loves you( John 3:16😊❤). In Jesus'name, i pray( Luke 2:1-7( The birth of Jesus) and John 14:6😊❤). Amen.
      Luke 2:1-7( The birth of Jesus(😊1st❤))
      "2 In those day Caesar Augustus issue a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.
      2( This was the first census that took place while Quirinus was governor of Syria.)
      3 And everyone😊❤ went to his own town( Do you remember Joseph😊❤and Mary also went to the town of Bethlehem😊❤
      to register too that we went over by God's grace(Ephesians 2:8😊❤ ) too in Christ
      ?) to register.
      4( a) So Joseph(😊❤ )
      also went up ( " went up" not talking about physical geographic location of a place but it's a Biblical language of honor just check your map. Geographic wise Galilee is above, Samaria and Samaria is above Judea but we have respect for Jerusalem which a town within Judea. When you go the temple, you said " go up"😊❤
      instead of go down. One must it custum and culture at Jesus' time too in Christ So we honor the word " go up" from the town of Nazareth in Galilee( For examples, just like NY city has 5 Boroughs(Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island )
      Thus within Galilee there are towns back then in Jesus' time and Nazarth is one of the town of Galilee. Anysways , let's not sidetrack but resume back to Scriptures in Christ) and resume back to the original Scriptures said by resume back to Luke 2:4 again and then Luke 2:5-7.
      Luke 2:4
      "4 So Joseph also went up ( " went up" to Jerusalem
      (within it, a town called " Bethlehem") from the town of Nazareth( Jesus😊1st❤
      of Nazareth) in Galilee to Judea( physical geographic Galilee is above Judea but in Jesus(😊1st❤)'s time people said "go up" to from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea( within was / is town called Bethlehem)
      ;
      to Bethelem(😊❤)
      the town of David(😊❤), because he(Joseph😊❤) belonged to the house and line ( Mary😊❤ also belonged to the line of David)
      of David.
      5 He(Joseph😊❤ obey God through the what the angel told him) went there to register with Mary(😊❤), who was pledged to married to him and was expecting a child( baby Jesus😊1st❤).
      6 While they( Joseph and Mary, and baby Jesus😊1st❤ in Mary's womb by the Holy Spirit(😊❤))
      were there,
      the time
      came
      for the baby(Jesus😊1st❤)
      to born,
      7 and she( Mary😊❤) gave birth to her firstborn a son(Jesus😊1st❤).
      She( Mary😊❤) wrapped him(Jesus😊1st❤) in cloths( must under the custum and the cloths too if you can too. Do you know what our Lord is wrapped in cloths) and place him(Jesus😊1st❤) in a manager(Do you also understand what a manager is? We all know what a hospital is but what about a manger in Christ), because
      there was
      no room
      for them( Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus(😊1st❤) in the inn. "( Luke 2:1-7 Above all in all above in Christ from Zondervan NIV Study Bible. And all parenthesis parts and symbols of Christ also for and in Christ too. The Bible makes sense. When you travel from Nazareth in Galilee to Judea to Bethlehem the town of David(😊❤)
      , it takes 3 days back then. They do not have airplanes, or ships, or trains but they walk with their donkeys and it makes sense they hope to look for an inn but no room for them( Joseph😊❤
      , Mary😊❤, and Jesus( 😊1st❤) in the inn( or moderate day language today we called it hotel or motel and the Bible called it " inn " in Jesus(😊1st❤)'s time . When you travel a far, it make sense to first try to go to a hotel or inn but unfortunately "...because there was
      no room
      for them in the inn"( Luke 2:7b Zondervan NIV Study Bible so they went to a manger instead. A Lamb of God( Jesus😊1st❤ John 1:29😊❤)
      from heaven came back down to a manager, not in a palace or hospital but born in a manger?
      Do you also know what a manger is in Christ Jesus(😊1st❤ )?
      From high mobility to low mobility in Christ.( Philippians 2:1-11😊❤ ) in Christ.
      In Jesus'name, i pray( John 14:6😊❤; Luke 2:1-20😊❤). Amen.

    Calvinist teaching alert! Stated in message: “What is the marvelous light? The light of being chosen…the light of being pitied.” WHAT!? There is only one “light” we are called into and being referred to in this verse. John 3:16
    My identity is in Jesus Christ! Alone! Plain and simple. Not a denominations teaching script for identity in Christ. He desires and chooses that all people come to the knowledge of his plan of salvation…available to anyone who calls upon his name and wants a relationship with him. This is offered to “whosoever!”

    Piper, did you have any notion what was truly at stake in the last election? Due to your silence, I’m led to believe you knew exactly what was going to happen. What else are we supposed to think? Do you have a predilection toward chaos? Destruction? You call it Christian?
