Over the weekend the Israeli Defense Force began scaling back it's operations in Bethlehem and the cities outlying areas as the arrival of more than 60 thousand Christian pilgrims began, which will actually double the population of the little town of Bethlehem.
As thousands of Christian pilgrims and tourist began crossing from Jerusalem into Bethlehem, the Israeli Defense Force pulled it's forces out of the city and suspended operations saying they wanted the pilgrims and the Palestinians to have the opportunity to enjoy and benefit from the
holiday season.
Christians pilgrims from around the world will celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ this Christmas eve at the Church of Nativity in Manger Square and these festivities will be broadcast around the world from the little town of Bethlehem.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The Christmas Eve celebration in the little town of Bethlehem is evidence that Bible prophecy has been fulfilled and will be fulfilled in the future.
With the hustle and bustle of getting ready for Christmas, buying the gifts, the family coming to visit and, of course, the big Christmas dinner, often we forget about the real reason for the season.
The town fathers in the little town of Bethlehem both Christians and Moslems will be very busy on this Christmas Eve as the world watches on a special sattelite telecast from Manger Square and the Church of the Nativity. They will be watching the festive celebrarion of the birth of Jesus Christ.
The Bible reveals over three hundred prophecies of the first coming of Jesus Christ which were all fulfilled in absolute detail by the one who claimed to be the Son of God. The death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ did prove that the babe born in Bethlehem was who He said He was and will do what He said He will do. He will come back to earth once again.
Our world today seems to be ready to fulfill all of the prophecies of His Second Coming. And it could be today that Jesus Christ calls us to be with Him.
At Christmas time we look back to the birth of Jesus Christ but we must look forward to His coming. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
