Before the birth of Jesus, an angel appeared to Joseph and revealed that his fiancée, Mary, had conceived a child through the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:20–21). Mary would give birth to a Son, and they were to name Him Jesus. Then Matthew, quoting from Isaiah 7:14, provided this inspired revelation: “All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: ‘The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel’ (which means ‘God with us’)” (Matthew 1:22–23).
Seven hundred years earlier, the prophet Isaiah foresaw the virgin birth of the promised Messiah. He prophesied that His name would be Immanuel, which means “God with us.” By referencing the words of Isaiah, Matthew recognized Jesus as Immanuel. The name Immanuel expresses the miracle of the Incarnation: Jesus is God with us! God had been with His people always—in the pillar of cloud above the tabernacle, in the voice of the prophets, in the ark of the covenant—but never was God so clearly present with His people as He was through His virgin-born Son, Jesus, the Messiah of Israel.
In the Old Testament, the presence of God with His people was most evident when His glory filled the tabernacle (Exodus 25:8; 40:34–35) and the temple (1 Kings 8:10–11). But that glory was far surpassed by the personal presence of God the Son, God with us in person.
Perhaps the most significant passage in the Bible on the Incarnation of Jesus is John 1:1–14. John states that “the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning” (verses 1–2). John uses the term logos, or “the Word,” as a clear reference to God. John declares in verse 14, “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”
On the night of His arrest, Jesus was teaching His disciples. Philip had a request: “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.” It was a perfectly natural yearning. But Jesus replied, “Philip, I have been with you all this time, and still you do not know Me? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father” (John 14:8–9, BSB). Jesus had been showing them the Father all along. He was truly “God with us.” Whenever Jesus spoke, He spoke the Father’s words. Whatever Jesus did, He did exactly as the Father would do.
God took upon Himself human flesh and blood (1 Timothy 3:16). This is the meaning of incarnation. The Son of God literally “tabernacled” among us as one of us; He “set up His tent” in our camp (John 1:14). God showed us His glory and offered us His grace and truth. Under the Old Covenant, the tabernacle represented the presence of God, but now, under the New Covenant, Jesus Christ is God with us. He is not merely a symbol of God with us; Jesus is God with us in person. Jesus is not a partial revelation of God; He is God with us in all His fullness: “For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body” (Colossians 2:9, NLT).
God makes Himself fully known to us through Jesus Christ. He reveals Himself as our Redeemer (1 Peter 1:18–19). Jesus is God with us as Reconciler. Once we were separated from God through sin (Isaiah 59:2), but when Jesus Christ came, He brought God to us: “For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them” (2 Corinthians 5:19, NLT; see also Romans 8:3).
Jesus is not only God with us but also God in us. God comes to live in us through Jesus Christ when we are born again: “My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20, NLT). The Spirit of God lives in us, and we are His dwelling place: “For we are the temple of the living God. As God said: ‘I will live in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people’” (2 Corinthians 6:16, NLT).
Jesus is not God with us temporarily, but eternally. God the Son, never ceasing for a moment to be divine, took on a fully human nature and became ‘God with us’ forever: “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20; see also Hebrews 13:5).
When it was time for Jesus to return to the Father, He told His disciples, “I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever” (John 14:16, ESV). Jesus was speaking of the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Godhead, who would continue to bring the presence of God to dwell in the lives of believers. The Holy Spirit carries on the role of Jesus as teacher, revealer of truth, encourager, comforter, intercessor, and God with us.

36 days, 11 hours, 48 minutes until our Once and Future President, Donald John Trump is restored to his Rightful Office as the President of the Greatest Nation on the GLOBE.
Not that I’m counting, mind you.
Livestream from Antarctica. Half an hour until the local solar midnight sun.
LOL, at the moment the sun was due south, on the other side of the south pole, McToon went to make a mark where a shadow was falling, called McKeegan over to the camera, and McKeegan joked, “oh, shit, it set.”
LOL! “Land of the midnight sun” actually MEANS something!
Wait until noon, bros!
kayshun = cation
anyun = anion
OHHHHH KAYYYYY
I thought anyuns and karats were what you put in stew.
Particularly when you took a break from work without traveling — a stay-kayshun.
Yeah I was wondering WTF he was talking about until he said “anion” in contrast.
If he had read “cation” wrong I could have understood it but it was spelled a different way. A very different way.
Job 2: reduce chemical ignorance.
LOL!!!
Job 3: Profit!!!
loosely along that vein
Job 2 🕙
10 He replied, “You are talking like a foolish[b] woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?”
In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.
footnote
Job 2:10 The Hebrew word rendered foolish denotes moral deficiency.

Note by the way that that equatorial mount is nearly vertical. Appropriate for almost 80 degrees latitude.
Cyrillic is throwing them for a loop.
Yeah – there was some comedy potential there! Wasted!
“What’s that called, Dave?”
“A burner phone!”
LOL!
Screwed by no international plan, he can’t activate WhatsApp, because there’s no SMS to his burner phone, so he can’t communicate.
Somebody lied in the chat, saying that the sun was overhead in Massachusetts. NOPE. IMO that was dropped to feed the flerf doubters.
I’m in the Eastern time zone and the sun is NOT overhead right now.
MC Toon didn’t catch that, or if he did, no mention.
Toon also missed the Spanish message. He’s tired!
LOL he gave that POS app of Flat Earth Dave permission to have his location!!!!
Potato App LOL
That way Flat Earth Dave leaks his location in Antarctica, which FE Dave says you can’t go to.
What an excellent troll!!
Why does a flerfer have an app? LMAO!!!
Remember my post about the insecure app? That’s the one.
YIKES!!!
So he’s deliberately letting Flat Earth Dave leak his location info–pointing to a place Flat Earth Dave says people aren’t allowed to go to.
To get to the other side?
“Dave’s not here, man!”
LMAO! Question from “Hugh Jarsz”!!! 😂 🙃
Any relation to Hugh Janus?
They’re next door to each other.
They’ve been through a lot together!
LOOOOOOL!!!
I was commenting to The Fiancee about Mount Adams, in Washington, making sounds like it might erupt.
She said, “at least that’s some distance away. All the volcanoes closer to us are quiet.” And I replied, “well, there’s Lassen — that last erupted around 1920…..[I was close, it last erupted 1914-1917], and La Perouse was supposed to have seen Shasta erupt from the coast in the late 1700s [1786]….but the one we really don’t want to see cut loose is the Long Valley Caldera — last time it went foom, it dropped ash all the way to Missouri.”
Yeah, there are a lot more active volcanoes than people realize. This is from my notes:
According to the U.S. Geological Society and other state volcanic monitoring services, there are around 200 active volcanoes in the 12 states. Ranked from most to least volcanoes, here are those states and the number of volcanoes within each state’s borders:
1. Alaska: 141
2. California: 18
3. Oregon: 17
4. Washington: 7
5. Hawaii: 5
6. Utah: 4
7. Idaho: 4
8. New Mexico: 3
9. Arizona: 2
10. Nevada: 2
11. Colorado: 1
12. Wyoming: 1
As if that wasn’t worrisome enough, we have CCP tentacles all over USA.

This explains the what assuming we have the right what.
It partially explains the why, but something is missing and it’s likely this
Meaning the administration is piggybacking off this these tests to create the hysteria necessary for passing this legislation to get a renewal and upgrade in existing law. To do that they’ve been disingenuous and non transparent. It will be interesting to see how Kirby and others spin this tomorrow.
Now here we have another what and why from.
Beware of the Dog
@Robbull951
Okay, here it is; DOD/NSA has intel and is searching for something prior to Jan 20…The “aerial craft” witnessed flying over the East Coast is in part managed, operated and controled by: Office of Global Access (OGA), a branch of the CIA Science and Technology Directorate established in 2003.
Most of OGA’s operations involve stray nuclear weapons, downed satellites or adversaries’ technology.
You can take this one to the bank! They (OGA) are looking for something or someone (adversary) on the East Coast and in one part of the West Coast. My guess is that a submarine crossed over our SOSUS warning nets on either coast and now there is an active “manhunt” for this sub and/or ground-based mass casualty weapon hidden in a cargo container or automobile that was in the cargo container.
MISSION OBJECTIVES of the OGA currently:
1.Deploy advanced surveillance assets to triangulate any communication indicative of the device’s presence.
2.Coordinate with federal and local law enforcement to establish a rapid response framework.
3.Maintain civilian safety and minimize public panic while advancing intelligence operations.
ASSETS IN PLAY:
•Low-Altitude Surveillance Aircraft: Actively monitoring cellular and satellite communications.
•Special Operations Units: Positioned for rapid deployment upon confirmation of target location.
•Cyber Intelligence Teams: Engaged in deep-dive analysis of known terror networks’ digital activity.
OGA will continue leveraging advanced ISR:
(Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance) methods, including “low and slow” aerial tactics, to enhance signal acquisition.
There is word that the American and British govt. might be preparing to escalate our DEFCON status if actionable intelligence confirms a mass casualty weapon is on the loose.
It’s plausible, but I’m not seeing “hysteria.” People seem to be just puzzled and annoyed.
That’s fair… meantime we have another view…
https://rumble.com/v5zfevz-military-drone-expert-says-he-knows-whats-going-on-with-the-drones.html
Frankly this leaves us where we started from. We know jack until the govt explains it. And at this point they aren’t trusted.
Wyatt’s explanation is the one that makes best sense.
AND logic, both Faresh’s & Wyatt’s explanations make sense to me
From JD. Rucker a bit of a slant on the one above. He rates this one as middle of the pack for possibles.

One of my favorite volcanoes is Parícutin, in Mexico.
In 1943, a local farmer named Dionisio Pulido was tending his cornfield when he noted a small area of volcanic activity. Between his discovery and 1952, it grew into a mountain over 1,000 feet above where his cornfield had been and swallowed two villages.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Par%C3%ADcutin
Love that story!!!
In the early parts of its growth, he insisted that it was HIS volcano, and people wanting to look at it should pay him (since he wasn’t making money off of corn). This approach became less viable as the volcano expanded past the area of his cornfield.

I would argue that they don’t look like idiots.
Well……dogs look like canines; cats look like felines.
look like = appear to be
I guess you both missed it.
They don’t look like idiots, they are idiots.
“they don’t just look like idiots”
WHOA!!!
That’s funny. Slopodopolous deactivates his X account.
Years ago, Slopodopolous had a Sunday talk show gig. If he still does, wonder what, if anything he’ll say today.

By that last sentence, surely he means within the bounds of the Constitution. Otherwise, since nobody else would fund ice skating drag queens, the government did.
I think I see what he’s doing, and it’s pretty brilliant!
Do elaborate please…
Not the southern one in Colorado…that’s El Paso County and it’s red.
Very interesting!
I am happy to hear that. Those contacts would mean a lot to a grieving widow.

GENTLE MARY LAID HER CHILD
1 Gentle Mary laid her Child
Lowly in a manger;
There He lay, the undefiled,
To the world a stranger:
Such a Babe in such a place,
Can He be the Savior?
Ask the saved of all the race
Who have found His favor.
2 Angels sang about His birth;
Wise men sought and found Him;
Heaven’s star shone brightly forth,
Glory all around Him:
Shepherds saw the wondrous sight,
Heard the angels singing;
All the plains were lit that night,
All the hills were ringing.
3 Gentle Mary laid her Child
Lowly in a manger;
He is still the undefiled,
But no more a stranger:
Son of God, of humble birth,
Beautiful the story;
Praise His name in all the earth,
Hail the King of glory!
