CHRISTMAS GREETING FROM PATRIARCH MOSES


To the Christ’s priesthood and faithful children of God.

! CHRIST IS BORN! GLORIFY HIM!

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ!

Today is the birthday of Jesus Christ.

When Jesus was born in Bethlehem, he was immediately searched to be killed by the soldiers of King Herod that forced him to emigrate in a nearby country.

When he started to preach, they tried to throw him down from the crag in Nazareth that forced Him again to leave native land and to make a conclusion, that: "Only in his home town is a prophet without honor".

Jesus preached no more than four years, and still the Devil’s children succeeded to crucify Him together with the sermons, which he brought to people in a clear understandable way. What is left from his sermons it is only grandiloquence and the separate fragments of the precepts, which sometimes do not have fullness and simplicity which Jesus brought to people: how to build God’s Kingdom inside your heart and on the earth. And that what left and is taught to people looks like unattainable utopia. At what are mocking the representatives of the other confessions.

What for then Lord comes on earth if He is treated in such a way?

Because the love of God to us and to the part of the fallen angels is unsurpassed.

And there is a time for everything. There is time to sow and time to reap. There is time to be persecuted and time to build. The free possibility is given to everybody to reveal oneself in good or in evil. That’s how everybody chooses their further destiny and will get for their doings good for good, evil for evil.

I believe and I know that the time of the God’s Kingdom is approaching, that’s why Devil and his children are so raging. Therefore they persecuted us and destroy the God’s Church so much. Because there will be no place for them among the God’s and they will go into that hell and ruin which they have been created up to the present day.

Let’s return to Christmas.

Why soldiers and the crew of King Herod did not come to bow before Jesus? Before Jesus the Savior, who came to teach people how to live in harmony with Heavenly Father and to build on earth His Kingdom, the Kingdom of Happiness.

Why do they search him to put to death? Because their father is Satan who has estranged himself from God because of pride and when he had fallen down from the Skies, he became the prince of this world. And he does not want the Kingdom of God to be here, about which Jesus taught people all his life. Therefore Devil has sent his children to find everything, that belongs to God and to destroy it in every possible way. Because there are God’s children and Devil’s children on the earth, about what Jesus teaches in the chapters 8 and 10 of John.

God’s children, today Herod again sends his warriors – the children of Devil, to persecute, to destroy the Church of Jesus and to belie It. Jesus taught: «They persecuted me; they will persecute you also, because the world loves its sinful."What is the evidence of that you are the true God’s Church.

Devil says: "I will strike a pastor, and the sheep will scatter". And he does so, he has struck the Patriarch, but the faithful did not scatter, and moreover, they have approved themselves and gained a foothold, as those of God. As God sowed the grain of the eternal life in your hearts not for that. The chaff that was sowed by Devil has germinated along with the grain, thus pulling out the chaff, the weak grain is pulled out partially too.

A prince of this world is Satan, he has everything corrupted on the earth, to exterminate the people of God and make the earth far more unhappy and cynical. And we, the God’s children, in this world we have nothing, except for the defense God and hope on Him.

Remember, that the Omnipotent God created the Universe and our planet, then who is against us, if the Lord is with us?! In fact we are His children; we try to fulfill His holy will that is in our hearts.

Remember, that every hair on our heads is counted up and will not fall down without His will, because the spirit of each person that lives on earth is in His hands. And Satan is on the earth, only as an ensign in army, to train us to be stronger. And the weak and the betrayers will be sifted, because God does not need such in the development of His Kingdom. Kingdom of creativity and creation, which is built on justice and the God’s love and trust to each other.

To be in the Holy Spirit, as brothers and sisters, as the children of Father, that in the Skies. And this holiday is for us, the God’s people, the people of the good will, who are persecuted by the demoniacs.
That we unite in one saving family, for the development of Divine’s Kingdom on the earth.

And the Angels of God call us in these Christmas days:

"Glory in the Skies to God and on earth peace between the people of good will !"

Congratulate you on this great holiday of Christmas!

CHRIST IS BORN! LET’S GLORIFY HIM!

With love in Christ.

Your persecuted Patriarch Moses +
