Epiphany
Be a Wise Man or Woman
1-7-23
Yesterday was the Feast of the Epiphany, when it was revealed to the Magi (the three wise men) by the star in the East that Jesus was the Son of God. The Epiphany also commemorates the Baptism of Christ where God revealed to the whole world that Jesus was His Son, and the Wedding of Cana, where Jesus himself revealed His divinity to the Jews through his First Miracle of turning water into wine. The Feast marks the end of the Christmas season for Christians.
When Jesus therefore was born in Bethlehem of Juda, in the days of king Herod, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem. Saying, Where is he that is born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to adore him. (Matthew Chapter 2:1 )
The word "epiphany" comes from the Greek “epiphaneia” meaning "revelation from above." In our secular society "epiphany" is defined as "a usually sudden manifestation or perception of the essential nature or meaning of something."
We don't have epiphanies anymore.
There are no revelations and even if there were, there is no "above." A sudden manifestation or perception of the essential meaning of something ABSOLUTELY never happens anymore.
Humans as a species have become as dumb and ignorant as a bag of rocks.
We prefer to be dumb, blind and deaf. Since an absolute truth doesn't exist, there is no need for revelations or epiphanies. There is only a need in how we feel at a given moment - the relative truth... or more aptly, the relative feeling.
But, but, but... Napoleon, even if there is a God, he doesn't talk to us anymore or send down miracles or massive stars in the sky to follow.
Um, yes HE does. We are just too dumb and narcissistic to see and hear.
Our modern day 🎇Star in the East🎇 to save us from the evil bioweapons destroying mankind was Omicron. It is no accident that omicron means "little O" as opposed to omega which means "big O." God is saying † "look, I sent you a sign of what I can do for your little world. Heed it!" †
God, the Omega sent it to us, the omicron. God's gift stopped the bioweapon virus we created. It should have stopped EVERYTHING we are doing to ourselves in the name of ignorance and evil. It didn't. Because we don't care, and we are not wise.
Unlike the three wise men who were shown a sign in the sky from God and followed it to find the Truth, we pooh-poohed God's sign, followed nothing and buried the truth. In fact, we took God's gift of life and immediately began a gain of function experiment on it to weaponize and kill more humans in the future.
We are truly repulsive.
I wish I lived in a time when epiphanies were recognized as revelations from God and were heeded. Life would be easier and more peaceful. But I don't. I live in a period of the dark ages, where humans dig in the dirt and hide their eyes from the sun.
There are no epiphanies anymore. People aren't dying from the bioweapon clot shots. A 24-year old top athlete didn't just technically die on the playing field in front of millions of eyes from the clot shot induced heart attack. The rate of excess deaths and lowered birth rates is NOT happening. The millions of adverse reactions to the clot shot and documented in VAERS never happened. I swear, if God Himself literally came from the heavens and bellowed to all mankind to stop all the bioweapons madness, we would put our hands over our ears and say "nah, nah, nah...."
We, as a species, are truly awful and deserve everything coming our way.
Still, there are those very few people who still believe in epiphanies and follow them. There are those few wise men and women who see the 🎇Star in the East🎇, and follow it to the Truth. There are those few wise men and women who bring gifts to the Truth, knowing that thankfulness and homage is the ONLY response to God's protection and unending love for us. If we follow epiphanies, bearing gifts for thankfulness, God will help us through our lives. If we ignore epiphanies, and bear nothing but hate and scoff, God will leave us on our own.
I don't want to be left on my own. Life is too hard. I need God's epiphanies and His help. I need to be a wise man or woman. Do you?
I learn so much from reading your posts especially about important historical events in Jesus's life. Like the celebration of Epiphany and the event of Circumcision. These are new celebrations for me as I was raised in a Congrational Bible church. My paternal grandmother was Lutheran and my Fraternal grandmother was Methodist so I really never considered myself a Protestant as I identified as a Christian. I once belonged to a prayer group of Catholic women and loved the experience. Thank you for sharing your religious life and your prayers that are humbling and inspiring. May God bless you and Pug in this new year!!
Sadly, no surprise.
So few will listen, when God speaks.
"John 14:
15“If you love me, you will keep[f] my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you forever. 17 This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, because he abides with you, and he will be in you."
