May God bless you as we celebrate His Son. Praise God for His gift of eternal salvation only possible through Jesus Christ - the Lord! Will next Christmas be celebrated in heaven? We are that close.

1 Thessalonians 5:

⁴But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. ⁵You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. ⁶So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled. ⁷For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. ⁸But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. ⁹For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. ¹⁰He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. ¹¹Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

He's about to come back a second, and last, time as King of Kings! Praise the Lord God Almighty!
Be ready!

Matthew 24:
32 “Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches bud and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near [Israel: re-established May 14, 1948] . 33 In the same way, when you see all these things, you can know his return is very near, right at the door. 34 I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass from the scene until all these things take place.

Isaiah 66:

⁸ Who has ever heard of such things?
   Who has ever seen things like this?
Can a country be born in a day [Israel Independence Day - May 14, 1948]
   or a nation be brought forth in a moment?
Yet no sooner is Zion in labor [The Holocaust]
   than she gives birth to her children.
⁹ Do I bring to the moment of birth
   and not give delivery?” says the LORD. [Israel is about to be completely reborn, with enemies no more]
“Do I close up the womb
   when I bring to delivery?” says your God.
