His victims, the baby boys of Bethlehem, are honored on this day for they were instrumental in providing cover so the Baby Jesus could be saved. The original intent was specifically for these children. Over the years other causes have jumped on the bandwagon laying claim to the feast.
This is the fourth day of the Twelve Days of Christmas, and the third feast day in a row (St. Stephen and St. John). The Twelve Days span from the birth of Jesus on Christmas Day to the Feast of the Epiphany, the manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles as represented by the Magi (Matthew 2:1–12).
On January 6 we celebrate the Epiphany, the day the Magi, Wise Men, and the many other prominent long-distance travelers arriving at the stable to honor the new Messiah. A magnificent Star of Bethlehem illuminated the sky like a beacon guiding them home. From kings, princes, priests, and rulers to shepherds and angels they were drawn to the Baby in the Manger.
This third feast in a row, the Feast of the Innocents, honors those innocent victims of King Herod who also died in their service to Jesus and Father Creator. Such a cowardly act by Herod that he should decide the fate of the new Messiah.
How arrogant for any human being to believe their Will was all-powerful like the Will of Father Creator. They have no concept of the power of the Creator’s Perfect Love for all of Creation.
In this day and age, it is so easy to get caught up in the frenzied, frantic, freaky, and fear-filled minds of the people. It is like a giant vacuum hose sucking everything in sight down into an endless Black Hole leading to the abyss.
But enough of this babble, we know the frayed edges of humanity where wounds are laid open and can never be healed is alive and well, but we can free ourselves of the dark influence.
You want to find inspiration and hope?
Seek out a quiet place and meditate. Purge your mind of all the worldly distractions, and free your spirit of all those other-worldly distractions. It may take some effort, but you can achieve this pathway to enlightenment.
When you achieve the state of peace and solitude ask Jesus to activate the Holy Spirit within you, long dormant while awaiting your call for help. As you have drifted farther and farther away from Jesus, who is the pathway to Father Creator, the Dark Side has harvested more and more weak and fear-laden Souls.
Rule number one in Creation, it is foolhardy to attempt to usurp control over any of the Creator’s Creations. Whatever action you take to accumulate power and possessions never intended for individuals and are not yours to take, is a direct affront to the Creator.
You can kiss off the Kingdom and embrace the void of the abyss where contaminated souls are transformed into anti-matter for all eternity. Perhaps you might call that Hell.
At present there are a considerable number of lost or contaminated souls walking the Earth who collectively represent a roadblock to salvation in the Kingdom for all others. Do not be surprised if substantial numbers of these contaminants are suddenly taken from the Earth to clear a better path for those of faith, or those who will seek out and find faith given a chance.
Not all of the seeds that are planted will grow, some must die away so that others will thrive.
And now back to our pathway to enlightenment. You are meditating, free of the worries and burdens of the real world, and beyond reach of the bad influences of the spirit world. Now what?
I mentioned you must ask Jesus to activate the Holy Spirit within you, long dormant while awaiting your call for help. What that means is Jesus is calling for the Holy Spirit to awaken in you those memories or DNA coding of the path to the truth. Jesus is the path to the truth and the truth guiding your salvation is knowing the Perfect Love of Father Creator is already within you.
When the Creator made Creation, to make it complete, the Creator became part of His own creation, not just humans but all life forces of his own Creation, thus everything that is has a life force of the perfect love of the Father.
End of lesson for the day.
