We are in a time period where the LORD has released a supernatural hunger for the revelatory truth of His Word (cf. Amos 8:11 i.c.w. Matthew 4:4).

 

Amos 8:11:
11 “The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign Lord, “when I will send a famine through the land – not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.

 

Matthew 4:4:
4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” (cf. Deuteronomy 8:3)

 

 

This spiritual hunger goes hand in hand with the compassion of Christ, which helps the voice of the Lord to be perceived or heard in a greater dynamic. In this regard, I was led to the Bible passage from Matthew 15:32-37 where the LORD multiplied the five loaves of bread and a few fish so that in the end there were seven baskets of bread left.

 

Matthew 15:32-37:
32 Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way.”
33 His disciples answered, “Where could we get enough bread in this remote place to feed such a crowd?”
34 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”
35 He told the crowd to sit down on the ground.
36 Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, and when he had given thanks, he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and they in turn to the people.
37 They all ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

 

The Greek word for ‘compassion’ used in Matthew 15:32 is ‘splanchnịzomai’ and means, among other things ‘to be seized with compassion’ or even ‘the middle voice’ as it refers to the bowels or innermost parts (Note: Word explanation from the Elberfelder Study Bible with word key number 4531 and the Strong’s Concordance with word key number G4697).

 

This form of compassion is akin to a golden ring with a gemstone set in its center, wherein it is clear that hunger among God’s people is dependent upon the compassion of the LORD to be satisfied. In this, faith in the people of God has a significant role. It is the spiritual hunger for the Word of God and the related faith in the people of God that cause the LORD to fill the ‘empty space’ with the release of the revelatory truth of His Word by satisfying the hunger with the presence of His Word.

 

The effect of God’s mercy with the hunger in His people is accompanied by the presence of the hollow space in the form of an ‘empty stomach’ and ‘empty baskets’ that contribute to the multiplication of the revelatory truth associated with the presence of His rest, namely the seventh day (Note: Shabbat), over which Jesus Christ governs (cf. Matthew 12:8).

 

Matthew 12:8:
“… 8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

 

It is the hollow measure of a basket that contributed to the freedom of the people of Israel and to the safeguarding of apostolic doctrine, as Moses was kept in a box of reeds and the apostle Paul was also brought to safety in a basket (cf. Exodus 2:3; Acts 9:25 i.c.w. 2 Corinthians 11:32-33).

 

Exodus 2:3:
3 But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile.

 

Acts 9:25:
25 But his followers took him (Note: Paul) by night and lowered him in a basket through an opening in the wall.

 

2 Corinthians 11:32-33:
32 In Damascus the governor under King Aretas had the city of the Damascenes guarded in order to arrest me.
33 But I was lowered in a basket from a window in the wall and slipped through his hands.

 

 

From this it is clear that in the context of Jesus’ multiplication of bread, it was in Jesus’ interest to give revelatory truth about the meaning of true freedom and the vitality of His apostolic truth as well as the day of His rest, which includes the period of relationship with the Heavenly Father (cf. Genesis 2:2-3 i.c.w. Exodus 20:11).

 

Genesis 2:2-3:
2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.
3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

 

Exodus 20:11:
11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

 

It is the rest of God that is linked to His promise (cf. Hebrews 4:1).

 

Hebrews 4:1:
1 Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it.

 

The Holy Spirit is currently drawing together many believers in Christ worldwide in their respective fellowships into ‘a crowd’ of saints whose stomachs growl with hunger as a lion growls. It is the longing in their spirits for apostolic teaching filled with God’s revelatory truth in order to move forward effectively and confidently in faith with Christ Jesus (cf. Acts 2:42).

 

Acts 2:42:
42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

 

The release of revelatory truth results in some being initially fearful of this presence. The reason is because they do not yet know this dimension of truth. This truth is the drawing power of the Heavenly Father that draws the respective saints into the center of Jesus Christ, the living Word of God in order to internalize and be satisfied with His revelatory teaching (cf. John 6:44a).

 

John 6:44a:
44a “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, …”

 

We cannot understand the mysteries in Christ Jesus in terms of wisdom and knowledge without the drawing power of the Heavenly Father because it is He who draws us to His Son (cf. Colossians 2:2-3).

 

Colossians 2:2-3:
2 My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

 

Jesus’ message is like the dew covered manna that the people of Israel ate in the wilderness (cf. Exodus 16:13b-15; Matthew 4:4).

 

Exodus 16:13b-15:
…, 13b and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.
14 When the dew was gone, thin flakes like frost on the ground appeared on the desert floor.
15 When the Israelites saw it, they said to each other, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread the Lord has given you to eat.

 

Matthew 4:4:
4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” (cf. Deuteronomy 8:3)

 

It is the revelatory teaching of Christ that springs from the hidden realm of His sonship and is like the dark firmament with its shining stars, for it was the manna that fell overnight and led to the questioning of the people (cf. Job 38:7 i.c.w. John 10:34).

 

Job 38:7:
7 while the morning stars sang together and all the angels (Note: sons of God) shouted for joy?

 

John 10:34:
34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods” ’? (cf. Psalm 82:6)

 

 

It is the presence of the dew of Christ, namely His revelatory Word that transforms us in our kingship in Christ Jesus which comes with a higher quality. It is akin to what happened to King Nebuchadnezzar, so that he began to pass through the dimension of the face of God in the form of the bull and the eagle in order to comprehend the governmental presence of the Heavenly Father (cf. Daniel 4:33).

 

Daniel 4:33:
33 Immediately what had been said about Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled. He was driven away from people and ate grass like the ox. His body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird.

 

This process of transformation brings with it greater humility, which is accompanied by higher knowledge of the reign of God, as God gives grace to the humble and exalts him in due time (cf. Daniel 4:34-37 i.c.w. 1 Peter 5:5b-6; James 4:10).

 

Daniel 4:34-37:
34 At the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my sanity was restored. Then I praised the Most High; I honored and glorified him who lives forever. His dominion is an eternal dominion; his kingdom endures from generation to generation.
35 All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back his hand or say to him: “What have you done?”
36 At the same time that my sanity was restored, my honor and splendor were returned to me for the glory of my kingdom. My advisers and nobles sought me out, and I was restored to my throne and became even greater than before.
37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble.

 

1 Peter 5:5b-6:
... 5b All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” (cf. Proverbs 3:34)
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.

 

James 4:10:
10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

 

King Nebuchadnezzar’s phase of humility development was heralded by the loud voice of a supernatural watchman angel, which is equivalent to the quality of the ‘middle voice’ in the form of compassion mentioned earlier (cf. Daniel 4:10-11a.31-32).

 

Daniel 4:13-14a.31-32:
13 “In the visions I saw while lying in bed, I looked, and there before me was a holy one, a messenger (Note: watchman), coming down from heaven.
14a He called in a loud voice: …
31 Even as the words were on his lips, a voice came from heaven, “This is what is decreed for you, King Nebuchadnezzar: Your royal authority has been taken from you.
32 You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like the ox. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes.”

 

In this progress of humility, Nebuchadnezzar came to know the realm of God’s holiness as he was set apart from the society of men. In this, the king passed through the presence of two facets of the face of God, which were the bull and the eagle (cf. Revelation 4:7).

 

Revelation 4:7:
7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle.

First, he internalized the governing presence of the LORD as he ate grass like an ox.

 

It is the throne of God covered with a green covered rainbow and likewise Jesus spoke to His sheep about the importance of abiding in the presence of God in the form of grass (cf. Revelation 4:2-3 i.c.w. John 10:9; John 14:6).

 

Revelation 4:2-3:
2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it.
3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald (Note: greenish in color) encircled the throne.

 

John 10:9:
9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.

 

John 14:6:
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. …”

 

The ‘bull’ is connected with the Hebrew letter ‘Aleph’ and carries the numerical value ‘1’, which is why it is no coincidence that the king Nebuchadnezzar first behaved like an ox by eating grass. Furthermore the ‘Aleph’ means among other things ‘ox, leader, strength, master/LORD’.

The pictographic representation of the Hebrew letter ‘Aleph’ is a ‘bull’s head’.

The ‘Aleph’ is the so-called ‘father letter’ because everything begins with the Father and the Hebrew word for ‘Father – āb’ begins with an ‘Aleph’ (cf. Revelation 1:8).

 

Revelation 1:8:
8 ‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, ‘who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.’

 

 

Nebuchadnezzar’s internalizing of God’s governmental presence resulted in the release of dew into the atmosphere, so that he entered the dimension of God’s Word as king, as the manna at the time of the people of Israel in the wilderness went along with the dew (cf. Exodus 16:13b-15 i.c.w. John 6:33-35).

 

Exodus 16:13b-15:
…, 13b and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.
14 When the dew was gone, thin flakes like frost on the ground appeared on the desert floor.
15 When the Israelites saw it, they said to each other, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread the Lord has given you to eat.

 

John 6:33-35:
33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”
35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

 

The process of Nebuchadnezzar’s internalization and the subsequent moistening of his body with dew carry hidden within them the statement of Jesus, who said that no one can come to Him unless the Father draws him (cf. John 6:44a).

John 6:44a:
44a “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, …

 

After King Nebuchadnezzar went through these stages, his mind transformed into a prophetic mindset, which is evident by the description of the hair that was like eagle feathers in size, so that he developed a holy prey mentality, to which the length of the nails that were like bird claws are an indication.

 

I consider the filling of the ‘hollow measure’ of seven times by king Nebuchadnezzar to be the seven baskets of bread filled by Jesus (cf. Daniel 4:32c i.c.w. Matthew 15:37).

 

Daniel 4:32c:
“… 32c Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes.”

 

Matthew 15:37:
37 They all ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

 

In conclusion, the transformation of Nebuchadnezzar’s kingship in a prophetic context includes the following:

 

He entered into the holiness of God (Note: separated from society) in order to recognize God in character as Father (Note: grass eaten like an ox; cf. Hebrews 12:14). The result was that Nebuchadnezzar entered into the sonship of Christ and quality of His living Word (cf. John 1:14 i.c.w. John 6:33-35), ultimately to be active in the power of the testimony of Jesus, which is the Spirit of prophecy (cf. Revelation 19:10e).

 

It is the prophetic mindset represented by the ‘feathers of an eagle’ that corresponds to the dimension of the birds (Note: spirit realm). From this results that seductive influences of humans (Note: earthly realm), like that of ‘Delilah’ at the time of Samson are prevented (cf. Judges 16:4 ff.) in that they cannot become active because we are already in another, namely higher dimension than that of the human level (cf. Isaiah 40:31).

 

Isaiah 40:31:
… 31 but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

 

Amen and Amen.

 

In His Wisdom,

Beloved People of God,

 

This prophetic word is meant to serve us as a piecework and guideline for the new biblical year 5782/2022. We encourage every reader to pray over this word and to proclaim the plan of the Father over the coming year.

 

 

On the eve of 09/06/2021 we as Body of Christ have entered the new biblical year 5782 together with the Jewish people. This is of importance to us who have been grafted as wild olive shoots into the precious olive tree, as we partake in the fatness as the anointing of the root (cf. Romans 11:17-18).

 

Romans 11:17-18:
17 If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.

 

 

According to Zechariah 2:8b, Israel is the apple of God’s eye with Jerusalem functioning as His pupil; so for us as Christians from the gentile nations it is beneficial to look at our lives and environment through Israel. This will result in walking confidently and with enlightened eyes into our future with Jesus Christ.

 

Zechariah 2:8b:
… 8b for whoever touches you (Note: Israel) touches the apple of his eye.

 

The revelations we receive by this approach contain strategies helping us to position our lives in the center of the will and peace of God, just as Epaphras prayed (cf. Colossians 4:12).

 

Colossians 4:12:
12 Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured.

 

 

As God’s people we are currently in the biblical cycle of the ‘eighties’ that are connected to the Hebrew letter ‘Pe’ which refers to ‘mouth’. This is the decade connected to 'the verbal expression of knowledge', and thus is the basis for the coming years within this biblical decade (cf. Habakkuk 2:14 i.c.w. Proverbs 18:21).

 

Habakkuk 2:14:
14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.

 

Proverbs 18:21:
21 The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

 

 

The biblical year 5782 is connected with the Hebrew letter ‘Beth’, which also carries the numerical value ‘2’.

 

The Hebrew letter ‘Beth’ means ‘house’ and is also used for the ‘temple of God’. Furthermore, it has the pictographic representation of the ‘layout of a house’ and indicates the ‘inside of a house’.

 

The word ‘house – bajit’ appears for the first time in Genesis 7:1 and finds there its use in connection with the fellowship within the family of ‘Noah’ (Note: ‘rest’) as a fellowship of promise (cf. Hebrews 4:1ff.).

 

Genesis 7:1:
1 The Lord then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.

 

Since Jesus was born in ‘Bethlehem’, the ‘house of bread’, and is also called the ‘bread of life’ and the ‘Word of God’, it is clear that the quality of the Word of God within the fellowship of saints moving forward in Christ Jesus is at stake (cf. Micah 5:2 i.c.w. John 6:35; John 1:1; Revelation 19:13).

 

Micah 5:2:
2 “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.”

 

John 6:35:
35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

 

John 1:1:
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

 

Revelation 19:13:
13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.

 

Furthermore, the Word of God as the Torah, meaning the teaching of God, begins with the Hebrew letter ‘Beth’ (Note: ‘Bereshit’ means ‘in the beginning’), thus heralding the beginning of God’s creation. This ‘house’ comprises a ‘spiritual house’ since it comes forth from the mouth of God and God is Spirit (cf. John 4:24a).

 

John 4:24a:
24a God is spirit, …

 

Every ‘beginning’ initiated by God bears the distinction of being His own, since everything ‘first’ belongs to the LORD, sanctifying things to come as well as producing blessings (cf. Romans 11:16 i.c.w. Ezekiel 44:30; Proverbs 3:9-10).

 

Romans 11:16:
16 If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.

 

Ezekiel 44:30:
30 The best of all the firstfruits and of all your special gifts will belong to the priests. You are to give them the first portion of your ground meal so that a blessing may rest on your household.

 

Proverbs 3:9-10:
9 Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; 10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.

 

The Hebrew word for ‘beginning’ also means ‘first, best, first fruit, birthplace of a time dimension in the form of a starting point’ with which the ‘inside of the house’ is filled. (word explanation taken from the Elberfelder study bible to the word ‘beginning – rē’šît’ with the word key number: 7395).

 

Thus, these explanations point to the quality of the spiritual fellowship of saints who have allowed themselves to be joined together by God’s Spirit as living stones to bear His presence together and glorify Him as Father (cf. 1 Peter 2:5 i.c.w. John 4:24).

 

1 Peter 2:5:
… 5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

 

John 4:24:
“… 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”

 

 

In Christ Jesus, the supernatural realm as the eternity impacts the natural realm as the temporary time in order to bear witness to the dimension of the Father (cf. John 3:31 i.c.w. John 14:9b).

 

John 3:31:
31 The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all.

 

John 14:9b:
… 9b Anyone who has seen me (Note: Jesus Christ) has seen the Father. …

 

The impact of the supernatural world through Christ Jesus into the realm of the natural world reveals the eternal standard of God, which results in each person having to make a decision as to which world they will live or act from (cf. John 8:23).

 

John 8:23:
23 But he continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. …”

 

This is about the communication of the Father speaking from His inner being in His wisdom to the ‘outer world’. This wisdom can act like a wall for people who are not spiritually minded and move in humanism, so that they do not come to the knowledge of the truth because they define themselves by their own knowledge and human standards (cf. 1 Corinthians 1:20-25 i.c.w. 1 Peter 5:5b).

 

1 Corinthians 1:20-25:
20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.
22 Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

 

1 Peter 5:5b:
… 5b All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, …

 

 

=> Humanism is the government of the flesh and the soulish over the spiritual as well as the exaltation of the earth and its persecution over the heavenly.
The goal of humanism is to rob the purpose of God through a proud thought pattern that exalts itself above the knowledge of God.
Humanist assertions support the view that humans are their own God and thus the creators and masters of their own destiny. This results in a breeding ground for atheism, which is associated with a reversion to ancient forms of worship and encourages the influx of spiritual powers of evil that support or inspire them.
Humanism is designed by Satan to bring about the independence of creation from its Creator, which includes self-glorification and a strict self-governing existence without accountability to anything not touched or tasted by the intellect of the five senses. <= (The explanation put in ‘=>’ is based on a definition to the term ‘humanism’ from the ‘Prophet’s Dictionary’ by Paula A. Price, Ph. D.; page 269)

 

As we move in the decade of ‘Pe – mouth’ from which the ‘Beth – house’ emerges it is revealing to us that the ‘house of creation’ encompasses life in the ‘fullness of God’ which, like the universe, is continuously expanding.

 

The dimension of ‘Beth’ includes also the ‘apostolic quality’ which has its seat in the instruction of God and in the ‘triumph of Jesus’, since the Hebrew word for ‘house’ carries the numerical value ‘412’ and is related to other aspects of the communicating of God (cf. Acts 2:42.46; Acts 5:42).

 

Acts 2:42.46:
42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. …
46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, …

 

Acts 5:42:
42 Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.

 

 

Our Lord Jesus was born in a simple shelter, which according to Isaiah 1:3a is associated with a manger and two animals, namely an ox and a donkey (cf. Luke 2:12).

 

Isaiah 1:3a:
3a The ox knows its master, the donkey its owner’s manger, …

 

Luke 2:12:
“… 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

 

We recognize in the two animals mentioned a reference to the Hebrew letter ‘Beth’, so that this is about the fellowship in the time of the Father. The word for Father in Hebrew is ‘Abba’ and begins and ends with an ‘Aleph’ which means ‘bull’, and the face of the ‘bull/ox’ is related to the ‘power of the Father’. The present ‘donkey’ is related to the ‘discernment of times’ as it is the symbol of the tribe of Issachar, who recognized and understood the times (cf. Genesis 49:14 i.c.w. 1 Chronicles 12:32).

 

Genesis 49:14:
14 “Issachar is a rawboned donkey lying down among the sheep pens. …”

 

1 Chronicles 12:32:
… 32 from Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do – 200 chiefs, with all their relatives under their command; …

 

Furthermore, there were two groups of people who honored Jesus in the beginning of His ministry. They were the wise men and the shepherds.

 

These two groups of people are indicative of discerning the times and faithful leadership, as well as the proper understanding of giving into the Kingdom and communicating divine revelation (cf. Matthew 2:9-11 i.c.w. Luke 2:8.15-19).

 

Matthew 2:9-11:
9 After they (Note: the wise men) had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was.
10 When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.
11 On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.

 

Luke 2:8.15-19:
8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. …
15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.
17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.
19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.

 

 

The Herrenhuter motto for the Gregorian year 2022 is taken from the Gospel of John 6:37, where it says:

 

John 6:37:
37 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.

 

Based on this scripture for the new Gregorian year 2022, it is clear that we as the people of God are encouraged to go boldly forward in the quality of the Word of God, which is Jesus Christ, and His instruction. And by doing so, it is that from the presence of the Sonship of God we allow the power of eternity to flow into temporary time.

 

This has the consequence that people decide for or also against the truth of God and thus choose their stay to live in the ‘upper’ enlightened or in the ‘lower’ unenlightened world.

 

Amen and Amen.

 

A spirited and sweet year 5782,

 

Daniel & Tina Glimm
