SEVEN INTERESTING FACTS!
1. God does not consider the Sun to be a star. (Gen. 1:16 - And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: He made the stars ALSO.).
2. The sin that caused the fall was not Adam eating the forbidden fruit; it was his failure to trust God; by believing Satan, he was basically calling God a liar. (Gen. 3:4 - And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die.).
3. Noah did not limit the animals to one male and one female. (Gen. 7:2 - Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.).
4. Mary had other children besides Jesus. (Mt. 1:25; 13:55-56 - And knew her not UNTIL she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called His name JESUS. - - - Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And His sisters, are they not all with us? (From where) then has this man all these things?).
5. The Magi (wise men; number not given; there were three gifts) were not a part of the "Nativity Scene," but found Jesus, Who, no longer a "babe" but now a "young child," most likely about one year old, living in a home. That is why Herod wanted all male children from birth to two years of age, killed; he was unsure of His age; so he "bracketed" the age to be sure.(Mt. 2:11, 16; And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary His mother, and fell down, and worshipped Him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto Him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. - - - Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.).
6. Jesus, as God, created the Universe. (Jn. 1:1-3, 14 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. - - - And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.).
7. Hell is not the eternal destination of those who reject the Lord. Their eternity will be in the Lake of Fire! (Rev. 20:10-15 - And the devil that deceived them was cast into the Lake of Fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever. And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the Book of Life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the Lake of Fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the Lake of Fire.
[Note: It is not because of works that they are sent to an eternity in the Lake of Fire; it is because they failed to believe God, and their names were not in the Lamb's Book of Life! 1 Jn. 5:4-5; Rev. 3:5 - For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God? - - - He that overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the Book of Life, but I will confess his name before My Father, and before His angels.]
TRUST GOD TODAY; HIS SON DIED FOR YOU!
