Good morning and welcome to our first service on Sunday mornings. We have two services, the first of which is our Bible prophecy update that we do weekly.

And then a second service is the actual sermon. And we're currently in the book of Hebrews, but today is going to be the Christmas sermon.

And that will be live streamed at 11.15 a.m. Hawaii time. We're going to look at the power of faith over fear as it relates to Joseph

and the birth of the Savior.

And we're also going to talk about why it is that we even celebrate Christmas, knowing

of its pagan origins and that Jesus was not born on December 25th.

So are we good? Is everybody okay with that? We're going to talk about that. That'll be at 1115 today.

For those of you that are watching by way of YouTube or Facebook, we want to redirect you at this time to J.D.Farag.org. And there you will have the uncensored

and uninterrupted entirety of today's prophecy update. All right, I want to talk with you

about what's just around the corner, despite everything that seems to be coming

against us in the world today, with everything that's happening in the world today.

Doubtless, you've heard this saying just around the corner.

Usually it's in the context of something like, hey, it's really been a hard winter or dark winter,

dare I say, but spring is just around the corner. Well, you probably already know where I'm going with this, so I'll get right to the point.

Yes, it's really getting dark.

It's really getting bad.

But the rapture is just around the corner.

Yeah. Thank you. the rapture is just around the corner.

I'll take it a step further and suggest that by virtue of the fact that it's getting so bad with everything that is happening and everything that is against us, that is actually evidence

of just how close we really are.

And we've talked about that before.

In fact, I think we talked about that last week.
