00:00:07.490 --> 00:00:11.820
Most of the world plans to celebrate Christmas on December 25.

2
00:00:12.460 --> 00:00:20.399
As every year, gifts are purchased, banquets are organized,
and people plan to spend time with friends and family.

3
00:00:21.179 --> 00:00:21.824
However,

4
00:00:21.834 --> 00:00:30.174
the world has entered a time like never before and it is important to
understand what God reveals about

5
00:00:30.184 --> 00:00:38.109
the timing of such important events as the first advent of Christ and
His second coming in glory.

6
00:00:40.100 --> 00:00:47.920
Christmas is the commemoration of the birth of Jesus,
the only hope of salvation from sin, as His name indicates:

7
00:00:48.469 --> 00:00:56.962
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS:
for he shall save his people from their sins.

8
00:00:56.972 --> 00:00:58.079
(Matthew 1:21).

9
00:00:58.460 --> 00:01:03.503
Jesus came to bring salvation to the world,
through His life and sacrifice.

10
00:01:03.513 --> 00:01:09.689
What can we learn about the timing of Jesus' first coming according to
the biblical account?

11
00:01:10.549 --> 00:01:16.290
In this video you will discover the true date of Christmas this year
according to God's calendar.

12
00:01:17.349 --> 00:01:24.558
The real Christmas falls on the 24th day of the seventh month as
described in the article Christmas 2.

13
00:01:24.568 --> 00:01:24.700
0.

14
00:01:25.379 --> 00:01:30.299
We invite you to read it to learn the details of how this day was
discovered.

15
00:01:31.129 --> 00:01:38.680
This year, following God's calendar, Christmas or Jesus' birthday is
on October 27 to the 28th.

16
00:01:41.409 --> 00:01:46.700
This is the true Christmas in which we commemorate the birth of the
Savior of the world.

17
00:01:47.260 --> 00:01:52.256
And we give thanks for the love He has given us by choosing to come to
this

18
00:01:52.266 --> 00:01:56.719
world knowing that He could lose everything if His mission failed.

19
00:01:57.629 --> 00:02:05.290
It was because of His great love that God sent His Son to grant us
forgiveness of our sins and to give us salvation.

20
00:02:06.189 --> 00:02:08.586
But that is not the whole story.

21
00:02:08.596 --> 00:02:10.093
God does not change.

22
00:02:10.103 --> 00:02:20.344
Just as the wise men from the east were guided by a star to see the
King who had been born, again God has orchestrated not just one star,

23
00:02:20.354 --> 00:02:21.539
but two comets.

24
00:02:21.830 --> 00:02:31.120
They show the time of Jesus' second coming and this time He comes with
power and glory as King of kings and Lord of lords.

25
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:40.639
The trajectory of these two comets forms the sign of the Son of Man
that God has directed in fulfillment of Jesus' prophecy.

26
00:02:41.169 --> 00:02:49.110
So His people, who await His coming, may have faith and hope despite
living in this troubled world.

27
00:02:50.169 --> 00:02:54.148
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven:

28
00:02:54.158 --> 00:02:57.482
and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn,

29
00:02:57.492 --> 00:03:03.791
and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with
power and great glory.

30
00:03:03.801 --> 00:03:04.870
(Matthew 24:30).

31
00:03:04.870 --> 00:03:13.593
The sign of the Son of man is the sign that we must continue to look
up to in faith, for this is the sign that shows His second coming,

32
00:03:13.603 --> 00:03:17.469
just as the wise men followed the sign at His first coming.

33
00:03:18.340 --> 00:03:19.544
Be among the wise,

34
00:03:19.554 --> 00:03:25.673
filling your lamp with the oil provided by this sign and share with
others so that they may

35
00:03:25.683 --> 00:03:31.590
know of His soon return in the clouds and their faces also shine with
the blessed hope.

36
00:03:32.849 --> 00:03:38.074
And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament;

37
00:03:38.084 --> 00:03:44.586
and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and
ever. (Daniel 12:3)
