EPIPHANY AROUND THE WORLD
BY JOE ALLEN,PHD.
The Psamist David said it best when he wrote," Delight thyself also
in The Lord, and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart." The
Epiphany marks the coming of The Savior. When He came to earth as a
man He came to bring us all God's Blessings. He came to forgive, cleanse and heal all sin and
infirmaties. Who would think that little babe in the manger would be

God in the flesh? The crowd some 33-yrs. later cried out," Crucify him,
let Him be crucified." Especially just days before those blood thirsty people
demanded his death, they had shouted," Hosanna, blessed be him who comes in the Name of
The Lord." Reffering back to the scripture in Psalms 37, people always
wanted what they wanted, and...right now, no excuses!
Did you know that the Babe Christ had been marked for death since before he was
born of Mary?The precious ointment the three wise men brought as gifts, frankincense
and Myrr were Egyptian embombing fluids!
The angry crowd clammored for His death, and let go Barabbas, a common muderer and thief.
Isn't that just like you and I? The sinful flesh overtook their minds and demanded Jesus'
execution. They are not delighting in The Lord, yet they still, sought
out God's Blessings. If they, you and I get what we deserve, we would face a terribly painful
death. But CHRIST ROSE FROM THE DEAD ON THE THIRD DAY OUT OF THE SEALED TOMB!
The Holy Scripture declares The Epiphany of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Blame this additude on self and Satan. The old serpent came to divide,
seek us and destroy us. The Devil goes about as a roaring Lion seeking whom he may devour.
Anytime the devil trys to undo our relationship with Jesus, just tell the fowl beast
about his future.He is doomed! Satan is the only one who has NO CHANCE
of being redeemed and saved. He is sin incarnate, causing us to have itching ears
and go along with any wind of false doctrine that would remove the blessed thought of The
of the Second Epiphany, the Second Coming of Christ, first in the clouds to rapture the saints, (living and sleeping), then at the middle of the Tribulation battle, in the flesh, to rule and reign on this earth for some 1,000 years while The Beast is chained up
to be let loose for a little season some years later.
Oh death, where is thy sting, of grave, where is thy victory. Of course
both are with The Christ!
At His first Epiphany He came as a sinless baby, but, at His second coming He is coming
back as The Almighty King.
Our redemption is in Christ,
