John the Baptist

John the Baptist Day – June 24th

Today, June 24th, is celebrated as St. John the Baptist Day or the Nativity of John the Baptist Day. He came to prepare the way of the Lord! In many countries it is a public holiday, tied to the Midsummer celebration of the season of summer usually held at a date around the Summer Solstice. It has pagan pre-Christian roots in Europe as a ‘good-luck’ goddess, Fortuna, day. But to followers of Christ, John was a per-curser to Christ himself, and a shadow of the Prophet Elijah prophesied to come at the end. He will baptize in the Holy Spirit and in fire! According to Jesus, there is no one greater, born of woman, than John in the Kingdom, except one.

Great Signs in the Heavens

More ‘Great Signs‘ are taking place in the Heavens for all to see. There is a ‘Grand Celestial Alignment’ of planets along with the Sun and Moon taking place in the mornings to come and is set to peak on Friday, June 24, 2022. They will appear before sunrise in the order of their distance from the Sun. First in the order: Saturn in the constellation of Aquarius; Jupiter, Neptune (unseen) and Mars in Pisces; the Moon in Aries; Venus and Mercury along with the Sun, in Taurus. This is a span from one Cardinal Point in the Zodiac to another, the celestial Bull of Taurus and the Man with the water pitcher in Aquarius. This represents a quarter of the Zodiacal clock.

To Comfort My People

The German composer, Handel, opened his famous concert, Messiah, with this song from Scripture. The Prophet Isaiah wrote in chapter 40 a message to “Comfort My people, Israel” to let them know their appointed time has come to deliver them and remove the yoke of those who serve themselves of them.

“Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare/appointed time is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she has received of the LORD’s hand double for all her sins.

The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all people shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.”

Isaiah 40:1-5
