What CHILD+ is This?

Incarnation 2010
Meditation #1
Haste!
Haste!
to bring HIM+ laud,
The BABE+ ,
the son of Mary.
.
Acclaim, praise... the lauds... are the first fruits of our lips, upon rising in the morning. Traditionally, they are the last 3 Psalms in the Book of Psalms. Practically, the lauds can be any praise, acclamation, or worship done early in the morning.
.
But, why the haste?
.
The key to "haste" is in Psalm 2, a Messianic Psalm. Towards the end, it says:
.
Kiss the SON+,
lest HE+ be angry,
and ye perish from the way
when HIS+ wrath is kindled
but a little.
.
Kiss the SON+...
.
That means to fasten oneself unto HIM+, a means of attachment, to touch. Translated thus, it means to LOVINGLY attach oneself to the SON+.
.
Lest HE+ be angry...
.
Yes. Disobedience, hypocrisy, and willful sin will put Christians on the WRONG SIDE of HEAVEN. It is a fearful thing to fall into the Hands of the LIVING GOD+.
.
And ye perish from the way...
.
The way here is the Hebrew word meaning "road" . Figuratively, it stands for the "manner of life." We all know what perish means.
.
When HIS+ wrath is kindled...
.
Who is this Messianic Psalm talking about? The SON+ !
.
Christians, do not let anyone fool you: The SON+ has anger and will return ... not as a BABE+ nor as a meek, sacrificial LAMB+. HE+ will come with a Rod of Iron and HE+ will take vengeance, this time.
.
Not only does Psalm 2 talk about that , but listen to The Apostle's words in I Thessalonians 1:7,8, 9 :
.
And to you who are troubled
rest with us,
when The LORD JESUS
shall be revealed
from Heaven
with HIS+ mighty Angels,
.
In flaming fire
taking vengeance on them
that know not GOD,
and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL
of Our LORD JESUS CHRIST:
.
Who shall be punished
with everlasting destruction
from the presence of The LORD,
and from the glory
of HIS+ power.
.
Yes. HE+ has wrath against ALL disobedience and HE+ will not be placated. No excuses will stand. No-one will be able to hide behind the cloak of group membership or the doctrine of his "church."
.
...But a little...
.
The Hebrew says "in" a little. But a little would mean that it wouldn't take much provocation for HIS+ wrath to occur. In a little, the literal translation, would indicate that the time is short before HIS+ wrath occurs. Either way, it is true. Therefore:
.
Haste, haste
to bring HIM+ laud,
The BABE+,
The son of Mary.
.
What CHILD+ is this?
.
Whose child are you ??
