Just over 2,000 years ago Christ was born, and
so significant was his entry upon the earth that the entire world
measures TIME as the number of years
Before his birth (BC “Before Christ”) and After his birth
(AD 'Anno Domini' “In the year of our LORD”).
The time and date Christ came in world history was not arbitrary,
because God does nothing haphazardly. Everything in HIS TIME is
perfectly planned precisely, and Jesus’s entrance on the timeline
of the world was at a particular intersection of very specific events:
- Prophetically: Daniel 9 prophecy that exactly 173,880 days from the decree by King Darius that the messiah would enter Jerusalem (fulfilled on Palm Sunday)
- Covenantal: The “Fullness of the Time” was completed (based on the timing of ...)
- Dispensational: From Adam to Moses/2,000 years, and Moses & The Law to Christ/2,000 years
- Political: Roman rule over the world made possible…
- Logistical: ...Roads and commerce which provided…
- Cultural: …a common language and sharing of culture which made the spreading of the Gospel possible!
Friend, joyfully celebrate Christmas this and every year on December 25th,
but this month and day are not what is important.
Rather, are You Living Your Life as...
BC without knowing Christ as LORD and Saviour
-or-
AD where Christ is the Lord on the timeline of Your Life?
God Bless Your Day
Jesus Loves You
