Luke 2:25-35
"And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. So he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him according to the custom of the law, he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said:“Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, According to Your word; For my eyes have seen Your salvation Which You have prepared before the face of all peoples, A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of Your people Israel.”
And Joseph and His mother marveled at those things which were spoken of Him. Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, “Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against (yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”

When Jesus was born He was prophesied over by Simeon, who the Holy Spirit was upon. He spoke of the coming change that would happen in the world because of the birth of Jesus. He was destined to bring down religion and make a way for His disciples to rise up out of the traditions of man and the dictatorship of Ceasar Augustus.
The same thing is happening today, and in the midst of all the trouble that's going on worldwide, God will shine His great light once again and pour out His Spirit on those who are ready to be a part of this end-time change that will culminate in the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ!
The stage is already set and the handwriting is on the wall. What has been prophesied thousands of years ago is coming to pass even as I write this blog post! Every day that passes brings us closer to the revealing of the man of sin and the last great outpouring of God's Spirit that will bring pockets of revival all over the world.
The Lord told my wife, "The Small Will Be Great, And The Great Will Disappear".
John the baptist quoted the Prophet Isaiah in Luke 3:2-6
“The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; Make His paths straight. Every valley shall be filled And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough ways smooth; And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.’ ”
What's coming is inevitable, unavoidable, and will change the world as we know it. Every soul on earth will have a choice to make, life or death, Heaven or Hell, God or satan.
As always, the choice is yours!
In Christ,
