Oklahoma Bible teacher and beloved brother in the Lord,
Les Feldick presents a unique and in-depth study of
the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ.
Tonight the last full moon of the year will reach
peak illumination at 11:37 pm (EST).
According to the folks at the Old Farmer's Almanac,
December's moon is a "Micromoon" which is the opposite
of a "Supermoon". This means that tonight's moon is
at its farthest point from the earth.
In astronomical terms, this is called its "apogee".
Specifically, December's Micro Full Moon is about
252,000 miles from Earth.
In the tradition of my Cherokee ancestors, this
month's full moon is called the "Snow Moon".
It is also called the Christmas Moon.
I like days
with a snow white collar,
and nights when the moon
is a silver dollar.
And hills are filled
with eiderdown stuffing
and your breath makes smoke
like an engine puffing.
I like days
when feathers are snowing,
and all the eaves
have petticoats showing,
and the air is cold,
and the wires are humming,
but you feel all warm...
with Christmas coming!

I believe first and foremost that in order to stop election fraud
completely in it's tracks, a thorough housecleaning needs to be done
within the unhallowed halls of power in Washington DC.
This action would eliminate most of the dead wood in Congress-
which would include almost all the Democrats-and quite a few
turncoat Republicans as well. The presidential usurper in the
White House a.k.a. Joe Biden would need to be removed from power.
Ditto for VP Kamala "Missing In Action" Harris.
Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell, and the
rest of the career politicians who have been holding sway over this nation
for years now, making themselves extremely wealthy at the expense of the
responsible, hard-working American taxpayers, would also need to take a hike.
Wishful thinking, I know.
However, I think the greatest threat to election integrity and to our freedom
in general comes from a source known for it's increasing promotion of appalling
wickedness in this land while masquerading as the "mainstream news media".
The once respectable field of objective and accountable journalism
is long dead in the United States of America.
With the exception of very few credible media outlets today, we must
now contend with a bunch of overpaid and arrogant shills pushing the agenda
of the political Left, (Communism, The Deep State, etc.) who have no problem
in showing their open contempt for the average, freedom-loving, patriotic
American citizen and especially, white, evangelical Christians.
What was once considered and respected as the "Voice of the People" has
now become one of We The People's most flagrant enemies. I can only imagine
how many members in good standing of this galling and ill-disposed group
were "bought and sold" during the 2020 Presidential Election.
The insolent, out-of-touch talking heads of 21st century media in America
should be reminded that history, and especially bad human history,
can and often does repeat itself.
Take the fate of Julius Streicher, the infamous Nazi propagandist, whose
virulent anti-Semitic newspaper, Dur Sturmer, or "The Storm" sent untold
numbers of innocent human beings to their deaths in Hitler's concentration camps.
Although Streicher never physically murdered anyone, his poison pen, which
fostered a hate-driven campaign of lies and gross distortions against Jews in
Germany and across Europe, would eventually be his undoing.
At the Nuremburg trials, he was the first newspaper editor to be found
guilty and convicted of "inciting genocide". He was executed at the gallows
right along side of his fellow Nazis who were guilty of committing murder
and other atrocities during the war.
"Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea
in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men, astrologers
from the east, came to Jerusalem, asking, "Where is He who
has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star
in the east at its rising and have come to worship Him."
(Matthew 2:1-2)
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.
O star of wonder, star of light,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light.
Born a King on Bethlehem's plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never,
Over us all to reign.
O star of wonder, star of light,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light.
Frankincense to offer have I;
Incense owns a Deity nigh.
Prayer and praising, voices raising,
Worshipping God on high.
O star of wonder, star of light,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light.
Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom;
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
Sealed in the stone cold tomb.
O star of wonder, star of light,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light.
Glorious now behold Him arise;
King and God and sacrifice;
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Sounds through the earth and skies.
O star of wonder, star of light,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light.
