The Birth Of Jesus Christ

By

The Twelve Apostles

Bethlehem

Judah is the tribe of Israel, destined for leadership and warfare. The word Judea, refers to the tribe of Judah and the descendants of Judah, just like Israel and Israelites, or Benjamin and Benjamites. But Jerusalem is bigger than Judea. Jerusalem is a kingdom with different cities in it. Judea is on the northern side of Jerusalem. That is where Bethlehem is. That was where Jesus was born.

Registration Order

In the three hundred and ninth year of the era of Alexander, Augustus published a decree that all persons should go to be taxed in their own country. Joseph therefore arose, and with Mary, he went to Jerusalem, and then came to Bethlehem, that he and his family might be taxed in the city of his fathers.

Virgin Birth Of Jesus

The time was nearly due for Jesus to be born, and Mary longed to see Elizabeth, and she and Joseph turned their faces toward the Judean hills. And on their way they came to Bethlehem, the day was done, evening getting dark, and they must tarry for the night. But Bethlehem was thronged with people going to Jerusalem; the inns and homes were filled with guests, and Joseph and his wife could find no place to rest except in a cave where animals were kept; and there they have to sleep. And when they came by the cave, Mary confessed to Joseph that her time to deliver was due, and she could not go on in the city, and she said, “Let us go into this cave.” At that time the sun was very near going down, about to set.

And Joseph hastened away, that he might fetch her a midwife; and when he saw an old Hebrew woman who was of Jerusalem, he said to her, “Please come with me, good woman, to a cave, and you will see a woman there, just ready to deliver a baby.” It was after sunset, when the old woman and Joseph reached the cave, and they both went into it. And behold, it was all filled with lights, greater than the light of lamps and candles, and greater than the light of the sun itself. The Star of Jesus, which some people call the Star of Bethlehem came into the cave and was very radiant. The infant was then wrapped up in swaddling clothes, and sucking the breasts of his mother St Mary.

When Joseph and the woman saw the lights, they were surprised. There lights were inside the caves, because the Hosts of Angels and Saints of Heaven came into the cave, glorifying God Almighty, just as the Israelites were seeing Archangel Raphael in the form of pillar of fire and pillar of cloud, because they were not yet highly developed in spirit.

The old woman asked St Mary, “Are you the mother of this child?”

St Mary replied, she was. On which the old woman said, “You are very different from all other women.”

St Mary answered, “As there is no child like my son, so neither is there any woman like his mother.”

The old woman answered, and said, “O my Lady, I have come here that I may obtain an everlasting reward.”

Then our Lady, St Mary, said to her, “Lay your hands upon the infant.” The woman did so and became whole, healed. And as she was going out, she said, “From henceforth, all the days of my life, I will attend upon and be a servant of this infant.”

At midnight came a cry, a child is born in yonder cave among the beasts. And lo, the Promised Son of God has arrived.

Holy And Virgin Birth Of Jesus Christ

Mary was already pregnant, before she was betrothed to Joseph, before Joseph paid her bride price. God the Father came to the world in the person of Jesus Christ, and by His power as Almighty, entered the womb of Mary. That is why Jesus is called the FirstSon of God, because Himself is God Almighty and He is also the Holy Spirit. The first simply means the First Being to exist. It also means the original, complete and perfect God Almighty. Therefore, Jesus had no biological and earthly father, and He is God Almighty, who came to the world to save humanity from sins, from eternal death and destruction in the hell fire.

After Jesus was born, he loved the child and two of them, Joseph and Mary, took care of the child. In order to have the right to keep Mary with himself, Joseph had to pay the bride price of Mary. By so doing, joseph became the caretaker, and not a husband. Physically, Jesus had body and blood, but spiritually Himself is God Almighty, without any father and without any mother, without beginning and without end. He did not need any body from humanity because Himself created man.

Jesus is called the son of Abraham, as the Son Of Promise, the Promised Son of God, and is also called the son of David, because He came from the tribe of Judah. As far as a person is born here on earth, he is the son of man, because the woman gives birth to both man and woman, and because the woman is also a man in a different form. It is like saying that a child is the son of his father and also the son of his grandfather.

Here on earth, people have their respective fathers and mothers. But in heaven, all are brethren, the sons of the living God, even so without mother. Just as the candlelight can spread into many candlelights without having a wife, and as one fire can spread into many separate fires without any wife or mother. And God Almighty is Consuming Fire, because spirit is fire.

Only Jesus was born in this special way. It was necessary that Jesus came in this special way, so that He will be perfect, and because the work of salvation which He came to do was a very hard and difficult work. Of all the reincarnations of Jesus, this holy and virgin birth remains special and different, even so greatly.

Visit By Two Angels
Two persons clad in snow-white robes, who are archangels Cherubim and Seraphim, came in and stood before the child and said, “All strength, all wisdom and all love be your, Emmanuel.”

Angels Appear To The Shepherds

Now, on the hills of Bethlehem were many flocks of sheep with shepherds guarding them.
The shepherds were devout, were men of prayer, and they were waiting for a strong deliverer to come.
And when the child of promise came, a man in snow-white robe appeared to them, and they fell back in fear. The man stood forth and said,
“Fear not! behold I bring you joyful news. At midnight in a cave in Bethlehem was born the prophet and the king that you have long been waiting for.”
And then the shepherds all were glad; they felt that all the hills were filled with messengers of light, who said, “All glory be to God on high; peace, peace on earth, good will to men.”

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly hosts praising God and saying:

"Glory to God in the highest,

And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!"

And then the shepherds came with haste to Bethlehem and to the cave, that they might see and honour Him whom the ancient men and prophets of God call Immanuel (Emmanuel). And as the shepherds were engaged in praising God, at that time, with the Hosts of Angels and Saints of Heaven doing the same, the cave at that time seemed like a glorious temple, because both the tongues of Angels and men united to adore and magnify God, on account of the birth of the Lord Christ. When the old Hebrew woman saw all these evident miracles, she gave praises to God, and said, “I thank you, O God, you God of Israel, for that mine eyes have seen the birth of the Saviour of the world.”

Now, when the morning came, a shepherdess whose home was near, prepared a room for Mary, Joseph and the child; and here they tarried many days. And Joseph sent a messenger in haste to Zacharias and Elizabeth to say, “The child is born in Bethlehem.”

The Expectant Shepherds

The shepherds were Israelites, who delighted in the ways of God. They were saints of God. They were on their own as shepherds, but they were not ministers of God. For a long time, the coming of Jesus Christ was very important to them. They were expecting the coming and birth of Jesus Christ. That is why they are called the expectant shepherds.

That is why the Hosts of Angels and Saints of Heaven tell the children of God to be attentive to whatever they are doing for God. Let them put their hearts, spirits, mind and time in what they are doing for God. They have to be earnest, because when crisis shall befall the world, Jesus shall deliver, save, all the children of God all over the world.

That was why when Jesus was born, the shepherds were made to know that Jesus was born. This alone is a great blessing. But many Israelites did not know that Jesus was born, because they were not watchful or were stubborn. Such people do not receive the blessing of the coming of Jesus Christ, which the Hosts of Angels and Saints of Heaven shared out when Jesus was born. Only those people who were zealous received the blessings.

Most often, Angels do not move alone. They move in groups, in legions, as multitudes of Angels, just like soldiers on parade.

When there is a major event, the heaven informs the world. Usually it is only those who are spiritually developed or inclined that do know of such important events or developments.

Jesus Speaks As A New Born Baby

Jesus spoke even when He was in the cradle, and said to His mother: “Mary, I am Jesus the Son of God, that word which you have brought forth according to the declaration of the Archangel Duma (Archangel Gabriel) to you, and my Father has sent me for the salvation of the world.” Even babies inside the womb are spiritually awake, and can know what is happening in the world.
