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.
