Luke 2:1-7 ( The Birth of Jesus(Jesus😊1st❤)) "2 (a)In those days Caesar Augustus issued ain decree that s census( speaking of the word, " Census" it reminds me moderate today how just like every 10 years we used to have one census to check how many people in different locations to see how many people in each family/ household in varies locations ( or locale) and where people are required to register to tell how many people in your family? Do you remember how the government sent people to lock on your doors to ask or confirm how many people are in your household or family? :) So that the government can allocate or distribute fundings for specificilly needs of the people accordingly to its populations base in different locations. Base on count the populations for each location and each family too. For examples, how many people in each family. specifically according to its population, its people's needs fairly and each family's real needs is/ are too). With above sharings in mind in Christ. May God grant those in authories His wisdom to govern His people accordingly to God's ways and with His love too. In Jesus'name, i pray( John 13:34). Amen.

Behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 14 Make yourself an ark of gopher wood.

Make a lower, second and third decks. 17 For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven. Everything that is on the earth shall die. 18 But I will establish my covenan with you, and you shall come into the ark, you and your sons( 3 sons( Shem, Ham and Japheth ( Genesis 6:10b ESV) ), your wife and your sons' wife with you( Noah😊1st❤)."( Genesis 6:9-18 ESV) Matthew 5:27-30 ( Lust)( Jesus 😊1st❤quoted what others said and what he said too in Christ) Matthew 5:27-30 "27 " You have heard that it was said, ' You shall not commit adultery.' 28 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eyes cause you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell."( Matthew 5:27-30 ESV). I love God's words in Christ.

Genesis 7:6-10 " 6 Noah was six hundred (600) years old when the flood of waters came upon the earth. 7 ( a) And Noah(😊❤) and his sons( Shem, Ham and Japheth from Genesis 5:32b ESV " 32 After Noah was 500 years old, Noah(😊❤) fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth."( Genesis 5:32 ESV) Now back to Genesis 6:7-10 "7 And Noah(😊❤) and his sons( 3 sons= "... Shem, Ham and Japheth." from Genesis 5:32b ESV) and his wife(1) and his ( 3)sons' wives ( 3 ) went into the ark to escape the water of the flood." "(Genesis 7:6-7 ESV So far in Christ. Math time : 1+1+3+3=8 Noah( 1) + his wife( 1)+ Shem( 1) + Ham( 1) + Japheth( 1) + 3 of the sons' own wive 1+1+1+1+1+ 3= 8 Or 1+1+3+3=8 total family members in Noah's family( included Noah himself) is family of 8 members in Christ. Back to Genesis 7:7-10( yes repeat verse 7 too) Genesis 7:7-10 "7 And Noah(😊❤) and his sons( 3 sons= "... Shem, Ham and Japheth." from Genesis 5:32b ESV) and his wife(1) and his ( 3)sons' wives ( 3 ) went into the ark to escape the water of the flood. 8 Of clean animals and of animals are not clean (Have you ever wonderful why God allow both clean animals and unclean animals in the same ark with Noah's family of 8 members together? What do you think ? Hint or answer in Genesis 7:9 ), and of the birds, and of the everthing that creeps on the ground, 9 two (2) and two( 2), male( M) and female( F), went into the ark with Noah(😊❤), as God( 😊100%❤) had commanded Noah(😊❤). "( Genesis 7:6-9 ESV so far in Christ. God had commanded Noah and Male and female make baby. God was and is thoughtful because i think God doesn't support extinction theory i think in Christ. Since God said in Genesis 6:17-19 "17 For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven. Everything that is on the earth shall die. 18 But I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall come into the ark, you and your sons( 3 sons( Shem, Ham and Japheth ( Genesis 6:10b ESV) ), your wife and your sons' wives with you( Noah😊1st❤)." 19 And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ark to keep them 😊 alive 😊 with you. They shall be male and female. 20 Of the birds according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the ground, according to its kind, two 😊😊 of every sort shall come in to you 😊 to keep them❤❤ alive❤ . 21 Also take with you every sort of food that is eaten, and store it up. It shall serve as food ❤ for you ❤ and for them ❤❤ ." 22 Noah(😊 ❤) did this; he did all that God(😊100% ❤) commanded him."( Genesis 6:17-22 ESV) Even in Genesis 6:16 show God was and is thoughtful because He command Noah to built a roof for air for the animals and birds and ect .. for food storage too for humans and all animals too let us read Genesis 6:16-22 again "16 Make a roof for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above and set the door of the art in its side. Make a lower, second and third decks. ( so 3 decks) 17 For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven. Everything that is on the earth shall die. 18 But I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall come into the ark, you and your sons( 3 sons( Shem, Ham and Japheth ( Genesis 6:10b ESV) ), your wife and your sons' wives with you( Noah😊1st❤)." 19 And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ark to keep them 😊 alive 😊 with you.

It shall serve as food ❤ for you ❤ and for them ❤❤ ." 22 Noah(😊 ❤) did this; he did all that God(😊100% ❤) commanded him."( Genesis 6:16-22 ESV) Now back to Genesis 7:10 "10 And after seven( 7) days the water of the floor came upon the earth."( Genesis 7:10, and above also meant to share Genesis 7:6-10 ESV and Noah had his three sons( Shem, Ham and Jepheth( Genesis 6:32b ESV) when he was 500 years old in Genesis 6:32 and in Genesis 7:6 the Bible said Noah was 600 years old. In Genesis 7:6 "6 Noah was six hundred (600) years old when the flood of waters came upon the earth." ( Genesis 7:6 ESV 600 minus(-) 500= 100 years difference and i hope to end this sharing with Genesis 6:9 Again from previous sharing in Genesis 6:9-10 "9 These are the generations of Noah(😊❤) Noah (😊❤) was a righteous( 😊❤) man, blameless(😊❤) in his generation. Noah(😊❤) walked with God( 😊100%❤). 10 And Noah had three son, Shem, Ham and Japheth."( ESV) Today from Genesis 6:9 (😊❤) "9 These are the generations of Noah(😊❤) Noah (😊❤) was a righteous( 😊❤) man, blameless(😊❤) in his generation. Noah(😊❤) walked with God( 😊100%❤)."( Genesis 6:9 ESV) Since..." ... Noah (😊❤) was a righteous( 😊❤) man, blameless(😊❤) in his generation. Noah(😊❤) walked with God( 😊100%❤)."( Genesis Today how does this apply to us. Since Noah was a righteous man and blameless in his generation and to me most importantly "...Noah(😊❤) walked with God( 😊100%❤). " too. How about you(us) today are you also like Noah(😊❤) righteous? Are you also like Noah(😊❤) blameless today too? And most important are you willing to listen to God and walk with God like Noah did at his time too? Genesis 6:9 9 These are the generations of Noah(😊❤) Noah (😊❤) was a righteous( 😊❤) man, blameless(😊❤) in his generation. Noah(😊❤) walked with God( 😊100%❤)."( Genesis 6:9 ESV) In Old Testament, we have Noah (😊❤) and in New Testament, praise God for Mary ( female) and Joseph( ma their obedience to listen to God for follow God's will and to have His redemption plan through Jesus' life in Christ. In Jesus'name, i pray( Ephesians 1:7 "7 In him(Jesus😊1st❤) we have redeemption through his( Jesus') blood(😊❤), forgivenss😊❤) of our trespass( or our sins), according to the riches(😊❤) of his( Jesus'😊1st❤) grace( 😊❤)."( Ephesians 1:7 ESV Amen.) Ephesians 1:8-10 "8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and ( all) insight 9 making known to us the mystery of his( Jesus'😊1st❤) will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ ( Jesus😊1st❤) 10 as( like) a plan for the fullness of time, to unite (😊❤) all things in him(Jesus😊1st❤), things in heaven (😊❤) and things on earth."( Ephesians 1:7-10 ESV) Ephesians 1:7 "7 In him(Jesus😊1st❤) we have redeemption through his( Jesus') blood(😊❤), forgivenss😊❤) of our trespass( or our sins), according to the riches(😊❤) of his( Jesus'😊1st❤) grace( 😊❤)."( Ephesians 1:7 ESV Amen.)
Genesis 7:11-16 "11 In the six hundredth( 600) year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeeth (17th) day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened. 12 And rain fell upon the earth forty( 40) days and forty ( 40) nights. 13 On the very same day Noah(😊❤) and his sons, Shem and Ham and Japheth, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them enter the ark, "( Genesis 7:11-13 ESV so far, a family of 8 member again Noah(😊❤, 1 ) and Noah's wife( 1), Noah's 3 sons and their sons' own each one wive = or 3 = the three wives of his sons with them entered the ark. ) Now resume back to Genesis 7:14-16 "14 they and every beast, according to its kind, and all the livestock according to their kinds😊❤ , and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, according to its kind😊❤ , and every bird, according to its kind😊❤, every winged creature😊❤. 15 They 😊❤😊❤ went into the ark with Noah(😊❤), two( m + f) and two( m + f) of all flesh in which there was the breath of life. 16 And those that entered, male( m) and female( f) it all flesh, went in as God(😊100%❤) had(😊❤) commanded( 😊❤) him( Noah😊❤). ( Do you know who shut the door of the ark? ) And the LORD ( 😊❤) shut him( Noah 😊❤) in."( Genesis 7:11-16 ESV ( " in" in what? in the ark). May Jesus walk with you too. In Jesus'name, i pray( remember "...the LORD ( 😊❤) shut him( Noah 😊❤) in."( Genesis 7:16 b ESV)...and wait for the LORD to Genesis 8:15-19 " 15 Then God(😊100%❤) said to Noah(😊❤), 16 Bring out with you( Noah😊❤)every living thing(❤) that is with you( Noah😊❤) of all flesh- birds(😊❤😊❤) and animals(😊❤😊❤) and every creeping thing(😊❤) that creeps on the earth- that they may swarm (😊❤) on the earth, and be fruitful(😊❤) and multiply(😊❤) on the earth(😊❤)." 18 So Noah(😊❤) went ( 😊❤) out, and his sons( 3 sons) and his wife(1) and his sons' wives with him( Noah😊❤). 19 Every beast, every(😊❤) creeping thing(😊❤), and every(😊❤) bird(😊❤), everything(😊❤) that moves(😊❤) on the earth(😊❤), went out by families from the ark( or the ship)."( Genesis 8:15-18 ESV. Amen.) May the Lord our God spare you as God protect Noah( 😊❤) and his family of 8 members ( included Noah) and all living animals and birds too. Which is your favorite part of this sharing in Christ ? To me, is Genesis 7:16 "16 And those that entered, male( m) and female( f) it all flesh, went in as God(😊100%❤) had(😊❤) commanded( 😊❤) him( Noah😊❤ And the LORD (😊❤) shut him( Noah 😊❤) in."( Genesis 7:16 ESV ( " in" in what? in the ark). May Jesus walk with you too as He is with me too in Christ. In Jesus'name, i pray( hope in Genesis 8:15 -19 too in Christ just Romans 5:12-21( Death through Adam, and life through Christ(Jesus 😊1st❤ ) and Romans 6:1-14( Dead to sin, Alive in Christ(Jesus 😊1st❤); Romans 4:1-25; Romans 4:1-25( Abraham justified by faith( trust😊❤) and Romans 4:1-12( Abraham😊❤ justified by faith😊❤) from ESV too in Christ, and Romans 8:1-39😊❤ ).

Luke 15:3-4
3 So he told them in parable:
4 "What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, do not leave the ninety- nine in the opened country, and go after the one that is lost, until he find it?
5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing😊❤.
6And when he comes home, he calls together his friends❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ and his neighbors❤❤❤❤❤❤❤, saying to them, ' Rejoice😊 with me😊❤, I have found my sheep that was lost.'
7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy😊❤ in heaven😊❤ over one sinner❤ who repent ❤ than over ninety- nine (99) righteous persons😊❤ who need no repentance."( Luke 15:3-7 ESV)

John 1:1-18( The Word( Jesus😊1st❤) became Flesh)
"1 In the beginning was
the Word(Jesus 😊1st❤),
and
the Word( Jesus😊1st❤) was with God,
and
the Word( Jesus😊1st❤) was God.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
3 Through him( Jesus😊1st❤) all things were made; without him( Jesus😊1st❤) nothing thar has been made.
4 In him(Jesus😊1st❤) was life, and that life was the light of men.
5 The light shines in the darkness,
but the darkness has not understood it.
6 There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John (😊❤).
7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light( Jesus😊1st❤),
so that through him(Jesus😊1st❤)
all men might believe( trust).
8 He( John😊❤) himself was not the light( Jesus 😊1st❤); he ( John the Baptist) came only as a witness to the light(Jesus😊1st❤).
9 The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.
10 He( Jesus
😊1st❤)
was
in the world,
and
through
the world
was made
through him( Jesus😊1st❤)
,
the world
did not
recognize him(Jesus😊1st❤),
the world did not recognize him(Jesus😊1st❤).
11 He( Jesus😊1st❤)
came to that which was his own,
but his own did not receive him(Jesus😊1st❤).
12 Yet to all who received him(Jesus😊1st❤),
to those
who believed in his( Jesus') name(Jesus😊1st❤),
he gave the right to become children(
😊❤
😊❤
😊❤😊❤
😊❤
😊❤
😊❤) of God( 😊100%❤).
14 (a)The Word( Jesus😊1st❤) became flesh "( " flesh" " A strong, almost crude, word that stresses the reality of Christ's humanity."( ESV))
"and made his dwelling among us."( John 1:14 ESV or above is John 1:14b ESV)
"... made his dwelling among us.
We have seen his glory, "( ESV)
" The Greek for " made his dwelling " is connected with the word for "tent/ tabernacle"; the verse would have reminded John's Jewish readers of the Tent of Meeting which was filled with glory of God( Exodus 40:34-35
"34 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
35 And Moses(😊❤) was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on it, and the glory of the LORD(😊❤) filled the tabernacle."( Exodus 40:34-35 ESV)
"Christ(Jesus😊1st❤) revealed his glory to his disciples by the miracles he performed(( please)see John 2:11
" 11 This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus(😊1st❤) performed at Cana in Galilee. He(Jesus😊1st❤)
thus revealed his glory, and his( Jesus'😊1st❤) disciples
(😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤) put their faith( trust) in him( Jesus(😊1st❤))."( John 2:11 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
Now i repeat
"Christ(Jesus😊1st❤) revealed his glory to his disciples by the miracles he performed(
John 2:11) and by his death and ( his= Jesus') resurection."
( ESV)
Pause. Now resume back to
John 1:14
"14 The Word( Jesus😊1st❤) became flesh
and made his dwelling among us.
We have seen his glory,
the glory of
the One (Jesus😊1st❤)

The words,
" ...grace and truth" ( John 1:14b ESV)
"The corresponding Hebrew terms are often translated
" ( unfailing) love and faithfulness"( see ( please read) Psalm 26:3; Proverbs 16:6)
Now openning of Psalm 26:3
😊❤
"3 for( because) your love (❤)

the Bible said,
"6 Through love(😊❤) and faithfulness(😊❤)
sin is atoned for;
through the fear of the LORD(😊❤) a man avoid evil."( Proverbs 16:6 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
Now back to the word ,
" grace" in John 1:14b
" A significant Christian concept( ..checked out John 4:2; Galatians 1:3; Ephesians 1:2), through John( the Baptist) never uses the word after the prologue( in verse John 1:1-18).
Now openning
John 4:2
"2 although in facr it was not Jesus(😊1st❤) who baptized, but his disciples."(John 4:2 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
" - and all the brothers with me,

Luke 2:1-7
( The Birth of Jesus(Jesus😊1st❤))
"2 (a)In those days Caesar Augustus issued ain decree that s census( speaking of the word,
" Census" it reminds me moderate today how just like every 10 years we used to have one census to check how many people in different locations to see how many people in each family/ household in varies locations ( or locale) and where people are required to register to tell how many people in your family? Do you remember how the government sent people to lock on your doors to ask or confirm how many people are in your household or family? :) So that the government can allocate or distribute fundings for specificilly needs of the people accordingly to its populations base in different locations. Base on count the populations for each location and each family too. For examples, how many people in each family. specifically according to its population, its people's needs fairly and each family's real needs is/ are too). With above sharings in mind in Christ. May God grant those in authories His wisdom to govern His people accordingly to God's ways and with His love too. In Jesus'name, i pray( John 13:34). Amen.
Now resume back to Luke 2:1-7
"2 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that census should be taken of the entire Roman world.
2 ( This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)
3(a) And everyone( include Joseph and Mary( and baby Jesus impregnated by God's good Holy Spirit in Christ in Mary's womb)
went to his own town (" own town " " probably the town of their ancestral origin. ( from Nazareth...to.... to the town of Bethlehem, the town where David was born( 1 Samuel 17:12; 1 Samuel 20:6 ) "( Zondervan NIV Study Bible) will back to this again in verse 4 of Luke 2:4 later. )
Again Luke 2:3-7
"3 And everyone( include Joseph and Mary( and baby Jesus impregnated by God's good Holy Spirit in Christ in Mary's womb)
went to his own town (Bethlehem) to register( to report there "to register").
4 So Joseph
(😊❤) also went up
from
the town
of Nazereth in Galilee( city)
to Judea,
to Bethlehem(
see :) the town of David( 1 Samuel 17:2; 1 Samuel 20:6), because he( Joseph😊❤) belonged to the house and line of David. "( Luke 2:1-4 so far Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
( Pause. just like Matthew 1:1-17( The Genealogy of Jesus(😊1st❤) said in Christ. Please read it in Christ.
" Nazareth... Bethlehem" i repeat now again in Christ
" Bethlehem, the town where David was born( 1 Samuel 17:12;
1 Samuel 20:6), was at least
a three- day trip
from Nazareth. "( Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
The word,
" Judea" ( Luke 2:4a) "The Romans designation for the southern part of the Holy Land, earlier included in the kingdom of Judah."( Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
Now back to Luke 2:5-7
"5 He(Joseph😊❤) went there to register with Mary(😊❤, " with Mary😊❤" " Marry too was of the house of David and probably was required to enroll. In Syria, the Roman province in which the Holy Land was located, women😊❤
12 years of age and older were required to pay a poll tax and therefore to register."( zondervan NIV Study Bible)
), who was pledged to be married( " pledged to be married"( please see Matthew 1:18) to him and was expecting a child(Jesus😊1st❤).
6 While they( Joseph, Mary, baby Jesus(😊1st❤) in Mary's womb by the Holy Spirit(😊❤))
were there( Bethlehem), a time came for the baby to be born,
7 and she gave birth to her firstborn a son(Jesus😊1st❤). She wrapped him(Jesus😊1st❤) in cloths and place him(Jesus 😊1st❤) in a manager, because there is no room for them in the inn."( Luke 2:1-7 Above all in all Zondervan NIV Study Bible and all parenthesis parts and symbols of love also for and in Christ Jesus(😊1st❤) too in Christ. The word,
" manager" " the feeding trough of the animals. This is only a indication that Christ( Jesus😊1st❤) was born in a stable. Very early tradition suggests that it was a cave, perhaps used as a stable."( Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
Genesis 6:9-22( Noah😊❤ and the flood)
"9 These are the generations of Noah(😊❤)
Noah (😊❤) was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah(😊❤)
walked with God( 😊100%❤).
10 And Noah had three son, Shem, Ham and Japheth.
11 Now the earth was corrupt in God'sight and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God saw the earth, and behold it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
13 And God said to Noah, " I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Make yourself an ark of gopher wood. Make rooms in the art, and cover it inside and out with the pitch.
15 This is how you are to make it: the length of the ark 300 cubits, its breadth 50 cubits, and its height 50 cubits.
16 Make a roof for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above and set the door of the art in its side. Make a lower, second and third decks.
17 For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven. Everything that is on the earth shall die.
18 But I will establish my covenan with you, and you shall come into the ark, you and your sons( 3 sons( Shem, Ham and Japheth ( Genesis 6:10b ESV) ), your wife and your sons' wife with you( Noah😊1st❤)."( Genesis 6:9-18 ESV)
Matthew 5:27-30
( Lust)( Jesus 😊1st❤quoted what others said and what he said too in Christ)
Matthew 5:27-30
"27
" You have heard that it was said, ' You shall not commit adultery.'
28 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 If your right eyes cause you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell.
30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell."( Matthew 5:27-30 ESV). I love God's words in Christ.

" May it be to me😊
as you have said❤." Then the angel left her."( Luke 1:26-38 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
Matthew 1:18-25
( The Birth of Jesus Christ(😊1st❤))
"18 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ( 😊1st❤)
came about: His mother Mary😊
was pledged to be married to Joseph😊
, but before they came together, she was found to be with child( Jesus😊1st❤) through the Holy Spirit(😊❤)
.
19 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, " Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit(😊❤).
21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus( 😊1st❤ ) because he( Jesus😊1st❤)
will save
his people from their sins." "( Matthew 1:18-21
what does the name " Jesus" mean? " the meaning is more specifically explained in the rest of the verse."( ESV )
Jesus(😊1st❤) is the Christ( Messiah) the Lord( Jesus😊1st❤) and Jesus is "... Immanuel "- which means , " God with us."( Matthew 1:23b Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
and he(Jesus😊1st❤) will save his people from ( from what?) Sins. ( that is right from sins. Now the word, " save"
lead us to openning Luke 2:11
" 11 Today in the town of David a savior(Jesus😊1st❤) has been born to you;
he ( Jesus😊1st❤) is the Christ( Messiah) the Lord( Jesus😊1st❤). "( Luke 2:11 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
Resume back to Matthew 1:22-25
"22 All this book took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophets:
23 " The virgin will be with child(Jesus😊1st❤) and will give birth to a son, and they will call him( Jesus😊1st❤)
Immanuel"- which means, "God(😊100%❤
with us."( Matthew 1:18-23 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
Now for a wrap in Matthew 1:24-25
"24 When Joseph😊 woke up,
he did what the angel(😊) of the Lord(😊❤) had commanded him and took Mary(😊) home as his wife.
25 But he( Joseph 😊)had no union with her ( Mary😊) until she gave birth to a son( Jesus😊1st❤). And he( Joseph😊) him( Jesus😊1st❤) the name Jesus(Jesus😊1st❤)."( Matthew 1:24-25 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)

Luke 1:17-25
"17And he(Zechariah😊❤) will go on before the Lord( Jesus😊1st❤ )
, in the spirit(😊❤)
and power of Elijah(😊❤ ), to turn the hearts(❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤)
)
of the fathers
to their children and disobedient to the wisdom(😊❤ )
of the righteous(😊❤ )- to make ready(😊❤) a people(❤ )
prepared for the Lord(Jesus😊1st❤)."
18 Zechariah asked the angel, " How can I be sure of this? I am an old man and my wife is well along in years."
19 The angel(😊❤ Gabriel, God's servant too )
) answered,
" I am Gabriel.
I stand
in
the presence❤
of God( 😊100%❤), and I have been sent to speak(❤) to you( " you" 😊❤ or "you"
😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤) and to tell you this good news( "good news" 😊❤).
20 And now you will
be silent
and
not able
to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their proper time."
21 Meanwhile, the people were waiting(...) for Zechariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the temple."( Zondervan NIV Study Bible
Pause. ( If he is dead, we need to pull him out from the temple of God by the string attach to one of his feet perhaps. People might "...wondering why he stayed so long in the temple.
22 When he came out, he could not speak( have you ever experience unable to speak moment too because wow or amazed moment too? I had too in the past too but thank God(😊100%❤) for Jesus(😊1st❤) totally have healed me too anyways let's not sidetrack let back to the Scriptures meaning Zechariah could not speak to them( the people) because of Luke 1:18 he said and the angel(Gabriel
Luke 1:19-20) explain why Zechariah will be silent and not able to speak( Luke 1:20a) until the day this happens because he ( "you"= Zechariah) did not believe my words, which will come true at their proper time like Luke 1:20 b indirectly mentioned in Scripture. Now go back to the basic of what the Scriptures said original and then move forward. In Jesus'name, i pray(back to Luke 1:18-21, then Luke 1:22-25 as a wrap in Christ Jesus(😊1st❤ )). Amen.
Luke 1:18-25 again
"18 Zechariah asked the angel, " How can I be sure of this? I am an old man and my wife is well along in years."
19 The angel(😊❤ Gabriel, God's servant too )
) answered,
" I am Gabriel.
I stand
in
the presence❤
of God( 😊100%❤), and I have been sent to speak(❤) to you( " you" 😊❤ or "you"
😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤) and to tell you this good news( "good news" 😊❤).
20 And now you will
be silent
and
not able
to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their proper time."
21 Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the temple.
22 ( a)When he came out, he could not speak to them( because Zechariah didn't believe( trust) what the angel( Gabriel's word in Luke 1:20b) that is why "..
he( Zechariah ) couldn't speak to them )
It teaches us today in Christ to have faith in God(😊100%❤ )
and trust in Jesus(😊1st❤ ) by faith( believe or trust) without doubting like Zechariah did in Luke 1:18 that lead to Luke 1:19-20, and after that were Luke 1:21-22 and later he need sign language too, you will see what i mean later hopefully in Christ. In Jesus'name, i pray( John 14:6(😊❤ )) Amen.
Anyways, back to Luke 1:22-25( yes again for verse 22 too)
Luke 1:22-25
"22 When he( Zechariah) came out,
he could not speak to them.
They
realized
he had seen a vision in the temple( God's temple😊❤, one might asks why? ) , for(" for" means because) he ( Zechariah❤)
kept making signs( see 😊❤) to them(❤) but remained unable to speak.( until John the baptist was born later on in the Bible Luke 1:63 "63 He( Zechariah) asked for writing tablet( he used writing tool to express his thought) , and to everyone's astonishment( wow or amazed) he wrote, " His name is John." "(Luke 1:63 Zondervan NIV Study Bible. Bible study here in Christ and for Christ too)
Now back to Luke 1:23-25
" 23 When his time of service was completed, he returned home( Do you know where Zechariah and Elizabeth live? Luke 1:39 " 39 At that time Mary(😊❤) got ready and hurried to a town
in the
hill country of Judea,"( Luke1:39 Zondervan NIV Study Bible so Bingo " a town in the hill country of Judea, "( Luke 1:39 b Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
Now resume back to Luke 1:24-25( Do you see my thought flow in Christ Jesus(😊1st)❤
by His good Holy Spirit(😊❤)? Do you know?
Anyways,
back to Luke 1:24-25 for a wrap in Christ and also share something at the end to make sure to recap something i misse to say yesterday to ensure there is peace to everyone too. In Jesus'name, i pray( John 14:6; Luke 1:24-25). Amen
Luke 1:24-25
"24 After this his ( Zechariah😊❤
's wife) wife Elizabeth(😊❤) became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. ( Do you know how many months it takes for a child to give birth back then and now too😊❤? )
25 " The Lord(😊❤) has done this for me, "
she ( Elizabeth😊❤) said.
" In these days he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace among the people."( Luke 1:24-25 Zomdervan NIV Study Bible and above all in all also meant to share in Christ Luke 1:17-25 Zondervan NIV Study Bible) John the Baptist was Elizabeth's son( John the Baptist) and Zechariah was Elizabeth's husband so Zechariah was also John the baptist's biological father too. In Jesus'name, i pray( my boss(es) are good bosses and i have given free rides to others( coworkers) after work to many Caucasian American, Italians American, African American, Puerto Americans and other nationalities too(all equal to me in Christ) and include brothers and sisters in Christ too and also give free ride to Jew too and other people( nationalities) outside of work.

sent the angel Gabriel(😊❤)
to Nazareth, a town in Galilee,
27 to a virgin pledges to be married to a man named Joseph(😊❤)
, a descendant of David.
The virgin's name was Mary(😊❤).
28 The angel( Gabriel) went to her and said, " Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord (😊❤) is with you."
29 Mary was greatly trouble at his words and wondered what kind of greating this might be.
30 But the angel sais to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary😊, you have found favor 😊❤
with God(😊100%❤).
31 You will be with a child( baby Jesus😊1st❤) and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus(😊1st❤).

33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever😊❤; his( Jesus') kingdom will never end."
34 " How will this be, " Mary asked the angel, " Since I am a virgin? "
35 The angel answered, " The Holy Spirit(😊❤) will come upon you, and the power of the Most High(😊❤) will overshadow you.
So
the holy one to be born will be called the Son(Jesus😊1st❤)

6 Both 😊❤😊❤
of them
were upright😊😊 in the sight of God(😊100%❤), observing all the Lord's commandments😊❤ and regulalations blamelessly.

Genesis 7:6-10
" 6 Noah was six hundred (600) years old when the flood of waters came upon the earth.
7 ( a) And Noah(😊❤) and his sons( Shem, Ham and Japheth from Genesis 5:32b ESV " 32 After Noah was 500 years old, Noah(😊❤) fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth."( Genesis 5:32 ESV)
Now back to Genesis 6:7-10
"7 And Noah(😊❤) and his sons( 3 sons= "... Shem, Ham and Japheth." from Genesis 5:32b ESV) and his wife(1) and his ( 3)sons' wives ( 3 ) went into the ark to escape the water of the flood." "(Genesis 7:6-7 ESV So far in Christ.
Math time :
1+1+3+3=8
Noah( 1) + his wife( 1)+
Shem( 1) + Ham( 1) + Japheth( 1) +
3 of the sons' own wive
1+1+1+1+1+ 3= 8
Or 1+1+3+3=8 total family members in Noah's family( included Noah himself) is family of 8 members in Christ.
Back to Genesis 7:7-10( yes repeat verse 7 too)
Genesis 7:7-10
"7 And Noah(😊❤) and his sons( 3 sons= "... Shem, Ham and Japheth." from Genesis 5:32b ESV) and his wife(1) and his ( 3)sons' wives ( 3 ) went into the ark to escape the water of the flood.
8
Of clean
animals
and
of
animals
are not
clean
(Have you ever wonderful why God allow both clean animals and unclean animals in the same ark with Noah's family of 8 members together? What do you think ? Hint or answer in Genesis 7:9 ),
and
of the birds, and
of the everthing
that creeps on the ground,
9 two (2)
and
two( 2),
male( M)
and
female( F),
went into the ark with Noah(😊❤), as God( 😊100%❤) had commanded Noah(😊❤). "( Genesis 7:6-9 ESV so far in Christ. God had commanded Noah and Male and female make baby. God was and is thoughtful because i think God doesn't support extinction theory i think in Christ. Since God said in Genesis 6:17-19
"17 For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven. Everything that is on the earth shall die.
18 But I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall come into the ark, you and your sons( 3 sons( Shem, Ham and Japheth ( Genesis 6:10b ESV) ), your wife and your sons' wives with you( Noah😊1st❤)."
19 And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ark to keep them 😊
alive 😊
with you.
They shall
be male
and
female.
20 Of the birds according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the ground, according to its kind,
two 😊😊
of

come in
to you 😊
to keep them❤❤

21 Also take with you every sort of food that is eaten, and store it up.
It shall serve as food ❤
for you ❤
and for them
❤❤
."
22 Noah(😊
❤)
did this;
he did all that God(😊100%
❤)
commanded him."( Genesis 6:17-22 ESV)
Even in Genesis 6:16 show God was and is thoughtful because He command Noah to built a roof for air for the animals and birds and ect
.. for food storage too for humans and all animals too let us read Genesis 6:16-22 again
"16 Make a roof for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above and set the door of the art in its side.
Make
a lower, second
and
third decks.
( so 3 decks)
17 For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven. Everything that is on the earth shall die.
18 But I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall come into the ark, you and your sons( 3 sons( Shem, Ham and Japheth ( Genesis 6:10b ESV) ), your wife and your sons' wives with you( Noah😊1st❤)."
19 And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ark to keep them 😊

22 Noah(😊
❤)
did this;
he did all that God(😊100%
❤)
commanded him."( Genesis 6:16-22 ESV)
Now back to Genesis 7:10
"10 And
after
seven( 7) days
the water of the floor came upon the earth."( Genesis 7:10, and above also meant to share Genesis 7:6-10 ESV and Noah had his three sons( Shem, Ham and Jepheth( Genesis 6:32b ESV) when he was 500 years old in Genesis 6:32 and in Genesis 7:6 the Bible said Noah was 600 years old. In Genesis 7:6
"6 Noah was six hundred (600) years old when the flood of waters came upon the earth." ( Genesis 7:6 ESV
600 minus(-) 500= 100 years difference and i hope to end this sharing with Genesis 6:9
Again from previous sharing in Genesis 6:9-10
"9 These are the generations of Noah(😊❤)
Noah (😊❤) was a righteous(
😊❤)
man, blameless(😊❤)
in his generation. Noah(😊❤)
walked with God( 😊100%❤).
10 And Noah had three son, Shem, Ham and Japheth."( ESV)
Today from Genesis 6:9
(😊❤)
"9 These are the generations of Noah(😊❤)
Noah (😊❤) was a righteous(
😊❤)
man, blameless(😊❤)
in his generation. Noah(😊❤)
walked with God( 😊100%❤)."( Genesis 6:9 ESV)
Since..."
... Noah (😊❤) was a righteous(
😊❤)
man, blameless(😊❤)
in his generation.
Noah(😊❤)
walked with God( 😊100%❤)."( Genesis
Today how does this apply to us. Since Noah was a righteous man and blameless in his generation and to me most importantly
"...Noah(😊❤)
walked with God( 😊100%❤). " too. How about you(us) today are you also like Noah(😊❤) righteous? Are you also like Noah(😊❤) blameless today too?
And most important are you willing to listen to God and walk with God like Noah did at his time too?
Genesis 6:9
9 These are the generations of Noah(😊❤)
Noah (😊❤) was a righteous(
😊❤)
man, blameless(😊❤)
in his generation. Noah(😊❤)
walked with God( 😊100%❤)."( Genesis 6:9 ESV) In Old Testament, we have Noah (😊❤)
and in New Testament, praise God for Mary ( female) and Joseph( ma their obedience to listen to God for follow God's will and to have His redemption plan through Jesus' life in Christ. In Jesus'name, i pray( Ephesians 1:7
"7 In him(Jesus😊1st❤) we have redeemption through his( Jesus') blood(😊❤), forgivenss😊❤) of our trespass( or our sins), according to the riches(😊❤) of his( Jesus'😊1st❤) grace( 😊❤)."( Ephesians 1:7 ESV Amen.)
Ephesians 1:8-10
"8 which
he lavished upon us,
in
all wisdom
and
( all) insight
9 making known to us the mystery of his( Jesus'😊1st❤) will,
according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ ( Jesus😊1st❤)
10 as( like) a plan for the fullness of time,
to unite (😊❤)
all things in him(Jesus😊1st❤),
things
in
heaven
(😊❤)
and
things
on
earth."( Ephesians 1:7-10 ESV)
Ephesians 1:7
"7 In him(Jesus😊1st❤) we have redeemption through his( Jesus') blood(😊❤), forgivenss😊❤) of our trespass( or our sins), according to the riches(😊❤) of his( Jesus'😊1st❤) grace( 😊❤)."( Ephesians 1:7 ESV Amen.)
Genesis 7:11-16
"11 In the six hundredth( 600) year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeeth
(17th) day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth,
and
the windows
of the heavens
were opened.
12 And
rain fell
upon the earth
forty( 40)
days
and
forty ( 40)
nights.
13 On the very same day Noah(😊❤) and his sons, Shem and Ham and Japheth, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them enter the ark, "( Genesis 7:11-13 ESV so far, a family of 8 member again Noah(😊❤, 1 ) and Noah's wife( 1), Noah's 3 sons and their sons' own each one wive = or 3 = the three wives of his sons with them entered the ark. )
Now resume back to Genesis 7:14-16
"14 they and every beast, according to its kind, and all the livestock according to their kinds😊❤
, and
every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, according to its kind😊❤
, and every bird, according to its kind😊❤, every winged creature😊❤.
15 They 😊❤😊❤ went into the ark with Noah(😊❤), two( m + f) and two( m + f) of all flesh in which there was the breath of life.
16 And those that entered, male( m) and female( f) it all flesh, went in as God(😊100%❤) had(😊❤) commanded( 😊❤)
him( Noah😊❤). ( Do you know who shut the door of the ark? ) And the LORD ( 😊❤) shut him( Noah 😊❤) in."( Genesis 7:11-16 ESV ( " in" in what? in the ark). May Jesus walk with you too. In Jesus'name, i pray( remember "...the LORD ( 😊❤) shut him( Noah 😊❤) in."( Genesis 7:16 b ESV)...and wait for the LORD to Genesis 8:15-19
" 15 Then God(😊100%❤) said to Noah(😊❤),
16 Bring out with you( Noah😊❤)every living thing(❤) that is with you( Noah😊❤) of all flesh- birds(😊❤😊❤)
and animals(😊❤😊❤) and every creeping thing(😊❤) that creeps on the earth- that they may swarm (😊❤)
on the earth, and
be fruitful(😊❤) and multiply(😊❤) on the earth(😊❤)."
18 So
Noah(😊❤)
went ( 😊❤) out, and his sons( 3 sons) and his wife(1) and his sons' wives with him( Noah😊❤).
19 Every beast, every(😊❤)
creeping thing(😊❤), and every(😊❤) bird(😊❤), everything(😊❤) that moves(😊❤) on the earth(😊❤), went out by families from the ark( or the ship)."( Genesis 8:15-18 ESV. Amen.)
May the Lord our God spare you as God protect Noah( 😊❤)
and his family of 8 members ( included Noah) and all living animals and birds too. Which is your favorite part of this sharing in Christ ? To me, is Genesis 7:16
"16 And those that entered, male( m) and female( f) it all flesh, went in as God(😊100%❤) had(😊❤) commanded( 😊❤)
him( Noah😊❤ And the LORD (😊❤) shut him( Noah 😊❤) in."( Genesis 7:16 ESV ( " in" in what? in the ark). May Jesus walk with you too as He is with me too in Christ. In Jesus'name, i pray( hope in Genesis 8:15
-19 too in Christ just Romans 5:12-21( Death through Adam, and life through Christ(Jesus
😊1st❤
) and Romans 6:1-14( Dead to sin, Alive in Christ(Jesus 😊1st❤); Romans 4:1-25; Romans 4:1-25( Abraham justified by faith( trust😊❤) and Romans 4:1-12( Abraham😊❤ justified by faith😊❤) from ESV too in Christ,
and Romans 8:1-39😊❤
). Amen.
