The below "A Christmas Story" is an allegorical tale based on Christmas and the current oppression of the Palestinians who are persecuted by the same hatred that persecuted the Christ child and His blessed mother and St. Joseph 2,000 years ago.

The Herods, a cross between the Borgias, Hitler and Stalin.

Herod, Idumean dictator of Palestine 2,000 years ago.

MATTHEW 2

CHAPTER II.

The offerings of the wise men: the flight into Egypt: the massacre of the innocents: and the return from Egypt.

1 Now *when Jesus was was born in Bethlehem of Juda, in the days of king Herod, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem.

2 Saying: Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and we are come to adore him.

3 And Herod the king hearing this, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

4 And assembling together all the chief priests, and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them where Christ should be born.

5 But they said to him: In Bethlehem of Juda: For so it is written by the prophet:

6 *And thou Bethlehem, the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come forth the ruler, who shall rule my people Israel.

7 Then Herod privately calling the wise men, inquired of them diligently the time of the star's appearing to them:

8 And sending them into Bethlehem, said: Go, and search diligently after the child; and when you have found him, bring me word again, that I also may come and adore him.

9 And when they had heard the king, they went their way: and behold the star which they had seen in the east, went before them, until it came and stood over where the child was.

10 And seeing the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

11 And entering into the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and falling down they adored him: *and opening their treasures, they offered him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

12 And having received an answer in sleep, that they should not return to Herod, they went back another way into their own country.

13 And when they were departed, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph, saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into Egypt, and be there until I shall tell thee.  For it will come to pass that Herod will seek the child to destroy him.

14 Who, rising up, took the child and his mother by night, and retired into Egypt:

15 And he was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying: *Out of Egypt have I called my son.

16 Then Herod perceiving that he was deluded by the wise men, was exceeding angry, and sending, killed all the men children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.

17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying:

18 *A voice in Rama was heard, lamentation and great mourning: Rachel bewailing her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

19 But when Herod was dead, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph in Egypt,

20 Saying: Rise, and take the child and his mother, and come into the land of Israel: for they are dead who sought the life of the child.

21 Who, rising up, took the child, and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

22 But hearing that Archelaus reigned in Judea in the room of Herod, his father, he was afraid to go thither: and being warned in sleep, retired into the parts of Galilee.

23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled, what was said by prophets: That he shall be called a Nazarene.

LUKE 2

CHAPTER II.

The birth of Christ: his presentation in the temple: Simeon's prophecy.  Christ, at twelve years of age, is found amongst the doctors.

1 And it came to pass, that in those days there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that the whole world should be enrolled.

2 This enrolling was first made by Cyrinus, the governor of Syria.

3 And all went to be enrolled, every one into his own city.

4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of *David, which is called **Bethlehem: because he was of the house and family of David,

5 To be enrolled with Mary, his espoused wife, who was with child.

6 And it came to pass that when they were there, her days were accomplished, that she should be delivered.

7 And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him up in swaddling-clothes, and laid him in a manger: because there was no room for them in the inn.

8 And there were in the same country shepherds, watching, and keeping the night-watches over their flock.

9 And behold an Angel of the Lord stood by them, and the brightness of God shone round about them, and they feared with a great fear.

10 And the Angel said to them: Fear not: for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, that shall be to all the people:

11 For this day is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ, the Lord, in the city of David.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you: You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling-clothes, and laid in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the Angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying:

14 Glory to God in the highest: and on earth, peace to men of good will.

15 And it came to pass that after the Angels departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us go over to Bethlehem, and let us see this word that is come to pass, which the Lord hath shewed to us.

16 And they came with haste: and they found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in a manger.

17 And seeing, they understood of the word that had been spoken to them concerning this child.

18 And all that heard, wondered: and at those things that were told them by the shepherds.

19 But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart.

20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all the things they had heard, and seen, as it was told unto them.

21 *And after eight days were accomplished, that the child should be circumcised: his name was called *Jesus, which was called by the Angel, before he was conceived in the womb.

22 And after the days of her purification, *according to the law of Moses, were accomplished, they carried him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord,

23 As it is written in the law of the Lord: *That every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord.

24 And to offer a sacrifice, according as it is *written in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtle-doves, or two young pigeons.

25 And behold there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Ghost was in him.

26 And he had received an answer from the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.

27 And he came by the spirit into the temple.  And when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law;

28 He also took him into his arms, and blessed God, and said:

29 Now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word, in peace:

30 Because my eyes have seen thy salvation,

31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people:

32 A light to the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people, Israel.

33 And his father and mother were wondering at these things which were spoken concerning him.

34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother: *Behold, this child is set for the ruin, and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be contradicted.

35 And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that out of many hearts thoughts may be revealed.

36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was far advanced in years, and had lived with her husband seven years from her virginity.

37 And she was a widow until fourscore and four years: who departed not from the temple, by fastings and prayers serving night and day.

38 Now she at the same hour coming in, gave praise to the Lord: and spoke of him to all that looked for the redemption of Israel.

39 And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.

40 And the child grew and waxed strong, full of wisdom, and the grace of God was in him.

41 And his parents went every year to Jerusalem, *at the solemn day of the Pasch.

42 And when he was twelve years *old, they went up to Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast.

43 And after they had fulfilled the days, when they returned, the child, Jesus, remained in Jerusalem, and his parents knew it not.

44 And thinking that he was in the company, they came a day's journey, and sought him among their kinsfolks and acquaintance.

45 And not finding him, they returned into Jerusalem, seeking him.

46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, hearing them, and asking them questions.

47 And all, that heard him, were astonished at his wisdom, and his answers.

48 And seeing him, they wondered.  And his mother said to him: Son, why hast thou done so to us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee, sorrowing.

49 And he said to them: How is it that you sought me? did you not know, that I must be about the things that are my Father's?

50 And they understood not the word that he spoke unto them.

51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth: and was subject to them.  And his mother kept all these words in her heart.

52 And Jesus increased in wisdom, and age, and grace with God and men.

A Christmas Story

Bugsy Milikovski Herod, again 2,000 years later. Bugsy Herod heard from wise men that a child was to be born in Israel, he inquired and heard that he name of the child was to be Palestine and Palestine would be the rightful kingdom over the land. He said to the wise men: "Go, and search diligently after the child; and when you have found him, bring me word again, that I also may come and adore him.(Mt 2:8)"

Mt. 2:9 And when they had heard the king, they went their way: and behold the star which they had seen in the east, went before them, until it came and stood over where the child was.

10 And seeing the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

11 And entering into the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and falling down they adored him: *and opening their treasures, they offered him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

12 And having received an answer in sleep, that they should not return to Herod, they went back another way into their own country.

Luke 2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds, watching, and keeping the night-watches over their flock.

9 And behold an Angel of the Lord stood by them, and the brightness of God shone round about them, and they feared with a great fear.

10 And the Angel said to them: Fear not: for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, that shall be to all the people:

11 For this day is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ, the Lord, in the city of David.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you: You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling-clothes, and laid in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the Angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying:

14 Glory to God in the highest: and on earth, peace to men of good will.

Mt 2:13 And when they were departed, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph, saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into Egypt, and be there until I shall tell thee.  For it will come to pass that {Bugsy Milikovski} Herod will seek the child to destroy him.

14 Who, rising up, took the child {the Palestinians} and his mother by night, and retired into Egypt: {just across the border from Gaza}

15 And he was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying: *Out of Egypt have I called my son.

Then as had been before -

Mt 2:16 Then {Bugsy Milikovski} Herod perceiving that he was deluded by the wise men, was exceeding angry, 

and sending, killed all the men children that were in Bethlehem {Gaza this time}, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.

17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying:

18 *A voice in Rama {Gaza} was heard, lamentation and great mourning: Rachel bewailing her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

The children of Gaza were slaughtered just as the Holy Innocents had been murdered 2,000 years ago.

Sarcophagus of Herod after his death

Mt 2:19 But when Herod was dead, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph in Egypt,

20 Saying: Rise, and take the child and his mother, and come into the land of Israel: for they are dead who sought the life of the child.

21 Who, rising up, took the child, and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

Just as ALL Palestinians will one day have the full right of return enacted and fulfilled.

It is become increasingly clear that the Palestinians are only pawns to be used by any number of interests. All the Jews who had any conscience at all in Occupied Palestine, whether Sabras (born there) or not, started leaving in the 1980's. The obvious solution is for all Palestinian people to simply leave and go anywhere else. In about six months to 4 years when the world looks back in at what Occupied Palestine looks like when there are only the Jews and PNA left there for that length of time, what we will probably find is only rubble to be cleared and bodies to be buried. Cancer always finally destroys itself. I am quite serious, in preaching to the multitudes about the destruction of Jerusalem, which He foretold, Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ warned them to flee and not be there when the end came. The Christians listened and fled to Pella (East of the Jordan River) when Jerusalem fell and NONE of the Christians were harmed. 

The Perfidious and always bloody Jews where utterly destroyed by the Roman General Titus in 70 A.D. Jesus Christ speaking. Matthew 24:15 When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place: he that readeth let him understand. 16 Then they that are in Judea, let them flee to the mountains: 17 And he that is on the housetop, let him not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18 And he that is in the field, let him not go back to take his coat. 19 And woe to them that are with child, and that give suck in those days. 20 But pray that your flight be not in the winter, or on the sabbath. 

There will be right of full return when the ZioNazis are all gone. Let God deal with this plague of locusts. Right now the Palestinians are only human shields for the ZioNazis. Don't be used that way.
