NTEB SUNDAY SERVICE: The Birth Of Jesus In A Stone Manger At Migdal Eder Is What The Bible Has To Say About How It All Actually Happened

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The true story of the birth of Jesus takes place in a stone manger in a part of the city of Bethlehem known as Ephratah, this is Migdal Eder, the tower of the flock!

First of all, the wise men never made it to the birth of the baby Jesus, they got there two years later when He was around two years old, so says Matthew 2:9-11 (KJB). You can take that fairy tale off the table. Next, Jesus was not born in a cow barn or a cave, he was born in the shadow of the Tower of the Flock, or Migdal Eder in Hebrew. This is the exact same place where Benjamin was born, where King David was born, and where the prophets said that the Messiah would come.

“And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.” Micah 4:8 (KJB)

Benjamin was the ‘son of my sorrow’ as well as the ‘son of my right hand’, a beautiful type of Jesus at His First and Second Advent. He was born at Migdal Eder. King David has a throne that King Jesus will sit on during the Millennium, and David was born at Migdal Eder also. Since we know that God loves to do things in three’s, it makes perfect sense that He who is the ‘volume of the book’ would also be born at Migdal Eder in a stone manger as the perfect Lamb of God. Migdal Eder, the Tower of the Flock, is an overlooked and largely unpreached hot spot that sees a ton a prophetical fulfillment. On this Sunday Service, we take you to Migdal Eder to see what the Bible says about the birth of the baby Jesus.

Study Notes For Today’s Sunday Service

In order to understand the location and timing of the birth of the baby Jesus, you have to start where everything else starts in the Bible, back in Genesis. For you see, the birth of Jesus is intimately connected with the birth of Benjamin. Let’s begin with where Jesus was born according to the scripture.

“Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.” Matthew 2:2 (KJB)

Jesus at 2 years old:

“When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.” Matthew 2:9 (KJB)

What a great question! Where is He that is born King of the Jews??? As it turns out, Jesus was born right here:

“But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.” Micah 5:2 (KJB)

Now let’s look at the birth of Benjamin:

“And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour. And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.” Genesis 35:16-21 (KJB)

“And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem” Genesis 48:7 (KJB)

Migdal Eder first appears in Genesis 35:21 and it’s a tower just north of the city of David in Bethlehem, Ephratah to be specific, and it is the place where Jacob buried Rachel after she gave birth to Benjamin. In its earliest days, the tower of Migdal Eder was a military structure, in later years becoming the Tower of the Flock where the Levitical shepherds would inspect the sacrificial lambs.

“And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.” Micah 4:8 (KJB)

By the time of the birth of Jesus, Migdal Eder is the place where the spotless lambs were wrapped in swaddling clothes to be inspected for sacrifice at the Temple in Jerusalem. Inspected by shepherds.

As Rachel lay dying, she desired that her son Benjamin should be called Benoni, which means ‘son of my sorrow’, but Jacob wanted his name to be called Benjamin, which means ‘son of the right hand’, sound like anything you know from scripture? Does not Isaiah 53:3 say that Jesus was a ‘man of sorrows’ and doesn’t Ephesians 1:20 tells us that He is now seated at the ‘right hand’ of God? There’s a lot happening at the birth of Benjamin that absolutely foreshadows the birth of Jesus and the work He will do at the First Advent.

Regarding the birth of the baby Jesus, we see in Luke 2:7 that He was laid in a manger, a stone structure that Levitical shepherds would normally use to inspect the sacrificial lamb. You see, Mary and Joseph were not sent to a first century hotel, and they were not sent simply to a barn, no, the only place that had room was the place where lambs were sacrificed. Migdal Eder. And those swaddling clothes? Why, they were for the lambs to protect them from getting bruised so they could be sacrificed ‘without spot’ according to the Law. Just coincidentally, Jesus is the lamb ‘without spot and blemish’ in 1 Peter 1:19.

“But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.” 1 Peter 1:19-21 (KJB)

Behold, the Lamb!

All through the Bible, salvation and redemption is connected with the shed blood of the Lamb for the forgiveness of sins.

  • “Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.” Genesis 3:21 (KJB)
  • “And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:” Genesis 4:2,4 (KJB)
  • “And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.” Genesis 22:13 (KJB)
  • “He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.” Isaiah 53:7 (KJB)
  • “But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:” 1 Peter 1:19 (KJB)
  • “That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Ephesians 5:27 (KJB)
  • “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” John 1:29 (KJB)
  • “How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” Hebrews 9:14 (KJB)
  • “Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.” Isaiah 16:1 (KJB)

Every step in the life and ministry of Jesus was according to “all the Law” of Moses

“Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.” Matthew 3:13-15 (KJB)

“And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.” Luke 2:39 (KJB)

The events that took place surrounding the birth of Jesus fulfilled the legal requirements according to the Law of Moses, for Jesus to be certified as a “spotless lamb” to be offer as a sacrifice for the sins of many.

O Little Town of Migdal Eder

Bethlehem is called the “City of David” because that’s where David was born, and what was David? A shepherd of sheep! Abel and Moses were shepherds also, Jesus is the Chief Shepherd and the Shepherd of our souls.

David’s Birth:

“Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehemjudah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men for an old man in the days of Saul.” 1 Samuel 17:12 (KJB)

Prophecy of Jesus Birth:

“But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.” Micah 5:2 (KJB)

The Feast of Tabernacles

The birth of Jesus is on or around the time of the Feast of Tabernacles. His return at the Second Advent will be on or around the time of the Feast of Tabernacles. During the Millennium observing that feast day will be mandatory.

“And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.” Zechariah 14:16 (KJB)

In Psalm 19, we read this:

“Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.” Psalm 19:4,5 (KJB)

Jesus announces that He is the Saviour on the Feast of Tabernacles.

“Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.” John 7:14 (KJB)

“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.” John 7:37 (KJB)

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: As America Turns 250, Zohran Mamdani And The Democratic Socialists Of America Ironically Take Control Of New York City

Zohran Mamdani As The Socialist Kingmaker Is Turning New York Into A Political Machine As The Democratic Party’s Left Wing Gains Real Power

You talk about irony, man, this is one for the record books. As America is already knee-deep in celebrations of our 250th year of our founding as a Constitutional Republic, the recently-elected Socialist mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani has launched a coup. House Democrats were left stunned on Tuesday night after two of their colleagues — including the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus — lost primaries to left-wing, Mamdani-backed Socialist challengers. Like it or not, we’ve now come face to face with National Democratic Socialism under the leadership of a fiery, Jew-hating, charismatic leader. Hmm, what does that remind you of? Achtung!, America, the wolf is at the door, and he’s hungry.

“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiasties 1:9 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Trump’s declaration that “America the Beautiful will NEVER be a Communist Country!!!” may sound like a bold defense of the Republic, but it collapses under the weight of his own actions. You cannot publicly warn America about communism while publically lending credibility to the most prominent Socialist mayor in the country. That is not conviction, that is contradiction. Mamdani does not need Trump to endorse his ideology; he only needs Trump to normalize his presence, elevate his status, and treat him as a legitimate governing partner. And Trump has done exactly that. Once that happened, the Socialist left has already gained something far more valuable than applause: respectability. This is how radical movements advance in America. They do not usually arrive wearing the uniform of revolution; they arrive through elections, headlines, photo-ops, federal meetings, political compromise, and carefully managed public relations. A man can be denounced as dangerous on Monday and then treated as a respectable stakeholder on Tuesday, and suddenly the line between opposition and accommodation disappears. Trump may think he is controlling the narrative by calling Mamdani a communist, but the more he centers him, meets with him, and speaks of him as someone he can work with, the more Mamdani becomes a national figure instead of merely a New York City Democratic Socialist. The real danger is not only Zohran Mamdani’s socialism, but the broader collapse of moral clarity in the American political class. At 250 years old, America is not being threatened merely because radicals are running for office; she is being threatened because too many leaders who claim to oppose radicalism are helping make it respectable. Today we visit the Democratic Socialist Revolution underway in America, and show you just what that might mean for our immediate, short-term future.

Warning: The Passion Translation Is Not A Bible, But A Charismatic Paraphrase That Adds To Scripture And Promotes New Apostolic Reformation Doctrine

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Passion Translation Is Not A Bible, But A Charismatic Paraphrase That Adds To The Words Of God And Promotes New Apostolic Reformation Doctrine

The Passion Translation controversy is not merely an argument over Bible version preference, translation style, or whether modern English sounds more “readable” than old English. It is a much deeper issue than that. At its heart, The Passion Translation represents the ongoing attempt by modern charismatic Christianity to replace the fixed words of God with emotional experience, mystical interpretation, and so-called “apostolic” revelation. That is why Bible believers are sounding the alarm, and rightly so.

“Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Proverbs 30:6 (KJB)

The Passion Translation is marketed as a Bible, promoted like a Bible, quoted like a Bible, preached from like a Bible, and used devotionally by millions as though it were Scripture. But when examined honestly, it reads far more like a charismatic paraphrase than a faithful translation of the words of God. It does not simply tell the reader what the verse says. It repeatedly tells the reader what Brian Simmons and the Passion Translation team think the verse should feel like. That is a major difference.

The King James Bible says:

“Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.” Proverbs 30:5 (KJB)

“Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Proverbs 30:6 (KJB)

God’s words are pure, full stop. Man is not invited to improve them, intensify them, romanticize them, update them with charismatic catchphrases, or insert “heart language” that the Holy Ghost did not place there. A Bible translation should be judged by its faithfulness to the text, not by how emotionally moving it sounds. The Passion Translation reverses that order. It often prizes tone, atmosphere, feeling, and devotional impact over textual accuracy. That may appeal to the modern worship culture at Hillsong and Bethel, but it is deadly to Bible doctrine.

“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” 2 Timothy 4:2 (KJB)

This is where the New Apostolic Reformation connection becomes impossible to ignore. NAR-style Christianity thrives on modern apostles, prophets, impartations, signs, wonders, fresh revelation, destiny language, kingdom-now expectation, and emotional encounter with God. The Passion Translation fits that ecosystem perfectly. It gives that movement a Bible-sounding text already flavored with its own vocabulary and assumptions. It is spiritually deadly if you value Bible truth. When a charismatic preacher stands up and says “the Bible says,” but then reads from a paraphrase that has already inserted charismatic interpretation into the verse, the listener is no longer hearing the words of God. He is hearing doctrine smuggled into the form of Scripture. That is not Bible translation, that’s doctrinal manipulation.

The King James Bible says:

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJB)

The Passion Translation does not train people to study, it trains them to feel. It gives them an instant devotional high, a warm spiritualized impression, and a mystical experience of the verse — but too often at the expense of the actual words on the page. That matters because doctrine is built on words. Paul did not say vaguely inspiring things by accident. The Holy Ghost gave precise words, precise grammar, precise doctrine, precise distinctions. That is especially important for Church Age truth. Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, Colossians, and the rest of Paul’s epistles cannot be safely handled by a paraphrase that rewrites doctrine into emotional experience.

A new believer reading The Passion Translation may come away thinking the Christian life is mainly about supernatural encounter, prophetic destiny, impartation, emotional intimacy, and mystical union language. But a Bible believer reading the King James Bible learns sound doctrine, rightly divided truth, the finished work of Christ, the difference between Israel and the Church, law and grace, prophecy and mystery, and the believer’s standing in Christ. That is the difference between spiritual emotion and spiritual truth.

The Passion Translation’s defenders often say, “It helps people love the Bible.” But that is the wrong defense. A paraphrase that changes the words of Scripture is not justified because people enjoy reading it. Golden calves are always popular. The question is not whether people like it. The question is whether it is faithful to the preserved words of God, and it is not.

The Bible says:

“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” John 17:17 (KJB)

Truth sanctifies. Not mood. Not atmosphere. Not spiritualized paraphrase. Not the passion of a translator. The words of God are the issue.

The Passion Translation is especially troubling because it comes at a time when much of professing Christianity is already moving away from doctrinal preaching and toward emotionally charged worship experiences, prophetic impressions, dreams, visions, and spiritual entertainment. In that environment, TPT does not correct the error. It feeds it. It gives the modern church exactly what it already wants: a Bible that sounds like Hillsong, Bethel, and the NAR prayer room. That is not a compliment.

A Bible believer does not need a Bible that sounds like the worship industry. A Bible believer needs the Book that reproves, corrects, instructs, divides truth from error, exposes false doctrine, and magnifies the Lord Jesus Christ according to the Scriptures.

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:” 2 Timothy 3:16 (KJB)

Notice the first thing Scripture is profitable for: doctrine. Not emotional atmosphere. Not spiritual goosebumps. Not a “fresh word.” Doctrine.

The Passion Translation weakens that because it blurs the boundary between what God said and what man wants the reader to feel. Once that boundary is gone, anything can be made to sound biblical. NAR impartation theology can sound biblical. Modern apostolic authority can sound biblical. Dominionist kingdom language can sound biblical. Mystical union language can sound biblical. And why? Because the paraphrase has already done the theological work before the reader ever opens the page. That is why the warning is necessary.

The issue is not that Brian Simmons is passionate. The issue is not that people find the wording beautiful. The issue is not that it has helped someone in a difficult season. The issue is whether Christians have the right to call something “the Bible” when it repeatedly expands, interprets, and reshapes the inspired text. They absolutely do not.

The King James Bible believer is not being narrow-minded here. He is being obedient. God did not tell us to preserve the feeling of His words. He gave us His words, and His promise to preserve them forever. There is no promise to preserve a ‘message’.

“For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.” Psalm 119:89 (KJB)

The Passion Translation is unsettled by design. It is interpretive, expansive, experiential, and movement-friendly. It is the kind of Bible product that could only thrive in a generation already trained to value experience over exposition, the Laodicean Church Age. That is why it must be duly marked and avoided. The faithful pastor, teacher, parent, and Bible believer should warn others plainly – The Passion Translation is not a trustworthy Bible translation. It is a charismatic paraphrase that repeatedly adds to the text, changes the tone of doctrine, and aligns naturally with New Apostolic Reformation thinking. Use it as Scripture, and you will eventually absorb its theology. Stick with the Book.

Anthony Fauci Is The Perfect COVID Villain For Donald Trump Because He Absorbs Public Fury While The Biden Pardon Keeps Prosecution Out Of Reach

Everyone is talking right now about the explosive closing shot that Tulsi Gabbard was instructed to level against Anthony Fauci as she was being forced out of office. Bringing Anthony Fauci to justice is quite tantalizing indeed, I’m all for it. But wait a second. If Fauci is the perfect villain, Operation Warp Speed is the evidence that the villain didn’t act alone. The Deep State pushed it, Big Pharma profited, social media censored it, and Biden may have mandated. But, but, but… Trump rushed it, promoted it, and claimed credit for it as the ‘Father of the Vaccine’. You cannot take down Fauci without implicating the people who made his reign of terror possible, people like Donald John Trump.

“A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.” Proverbs 19:5 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Donald Trump did not merely allow the vaccine program to happen. He championed it. He branded Operation Warp Speed as one of the greatest achievements of his presidency. He wanted credit for compressing years of vaccine development into months. He even allowed himself to be called, and reportedly called himself, the “father of the vaccine.” That phrase may haunt him more than anything else in the COVID record. Because if the mRNA rollout is now part of the reckoning — and it must be — then Trump is not standing outside the scandal pointing in, he is standing inside the room. Fauci may be the face of the lockdowns and the public-health arrogance, but Trump is the man who took ownership of the rushed and quite deadly vaccine program that became the foundation for the mandates, the pressure campaigns, the censorship of injured people, and the destruction of trust in American medicine. Trump can rage against Fauci. He can release documents. He can blame Biden’s pardon. He can even say the Deep State protected the guilty. But he cannot easily explain away the fact that he still wants applause for Operation Warp Speed. He wants to condemn the COVID regime while preserving his trophy from that same regime. That, dear Christian, is a politically fatal contradiction. Today we bring you Tulsi Gabbard’s last message in its entirety, and revisit the dark time in world history that will be forever known as The Plannedemic.

  • “I met you at the car dealership earlier this year. We spoke briefly, then you handed me a card and told me to check out the website. You left. A few minutes later, you returned to tell me not to forget to look up the website. I told you…” I already did. I already subscribed.” In that short time we spoke, I experienced from you…a total stranger…peace, joy, kindness, gentleness, compassion, and love. I am convinced that God sent you to share the Good News that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. For that, and for the work you are doing for the Kingdom of God, I say…Thank you and God Bless You.” Sonia Merced

  • I just want to thank you for the teachings you give every Sunday night on radio.  You are such a blessing to me. I absolutely love your way of teaching the scriptures.  I don’t have a church where I can have fellowship and teaching, so you have been my teacher for many months now. Thanks God you are there for all of us who have no church to go to.  I pray that the Lord will bless you abundantly in your ministry, and your loved ones too.  You are such a blessing to me, and many others, in these last days before the rapture.  Thank you so much Geoffrey, from the bottom of my heart. May the Lord keep you, until He comes back for us. You are in my prayers.” Donald Godin
  • “Thank you for the work  you are doing brother.  Your page and your testimony were a blessing to me this morning as I came across it for the first time.  Thank you for the reality of your testimony and what God has done for you in introducing you to Jesus our Lord.  God has brought me, in salvation, to Himself as well, through His love and mercy and grace in salvation.  How can we praise Him enough?  How can we not share this good news!?  I pray this day for God’s blessing on your ministry that He may save many souls through the work He has called you to.  Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)” Mark and Melissa
