... 2011... A busy, jumble of activity.. Underlying unsettled times.. Appropriate, perhaps, to end this year with orderly, solid Timeless Words...

Tidings of Comfort and Joy

~ISAIAH 9:2-7~

"The people who walk in darkness

Will see a great light;

Those who live in a dark land,

The light will shine on them.

Thou shalt multiply the nation,

Thou shalt increase their gladness;

They will be glad in Thy presence

As with the gladness of harvest,

As men rejoice when they divide the spoil.

For Thou shalt break the yoke of their burden and the staff on their shoulders,

The rod of their oppressor, as at the battle of Midian.

For every boot of the booted warrior in the battle tumult,

And cloak rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us;

And the government will rest on His shoulders;

And His name will be called  WONDERFUL COUNSELOR,  MIGHTY GOD,  ETERNAL FATHER, PRINCE OF PEACE.

There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace,

On the throne of David and over his kingdom,

To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness

From then on and  forevermore,

The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this."
