The Rock Almighty A Christmas Quiz And Wednesday Christmas Week Classic Concert With Skillet
-Gary Kurz
I think it is safe to say that one of the most celebrated days of the year in our country is Christmas. It is such a popular holiday that often those not of the Christian faith participate in the festivities. It is also safe to say that this day is widely celebrated around the world, even in cultures that are not Christian in culture or persuasion, such as Japan and China. They too call it "Christmas".
Despite the widespread recognition of this holiday, Christians the world over lament how commercialized Christmas has become and how convoluted the reason and meaning. We see signs hanging in department stores that say "remember the reason for the season", but it seems the author of this Yule-time slogan had customer spending in mind rather than something spiritual.
There are myriad examples we could site regarding the world's commercialization of this sacred Christian holiday and the loss of festive understanding, but too often we Christians come up short ourselves in this theological arena. As our Lord said, sometimes we need to remove the beam from our own eye.
How much do you really know about Christmas? How much of what you think about Christmas is Bible and how much is world? Could you pass the following quiz on this topic? Test your knowledge. There are no trick questions, but you might be surprised by some of the answers. Score 5 points for each correct answer. I will leave it up to you to decide whether you passed or not.

The Rock Almighty: Research Summation Advances Faith And Tuesday Classic Christmas Concert, FireFlight
Traditional Christianity generally concentrates on the Four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The teachings of Christ stand by themselves. The entire Judeo- Christian heritage embraces the Holy Spirit that includes both lunar/solar and solar calendars. Our foundation is the Almighty God. The lunar/solar calendar fostered by Judaism worships father God. For several thousand years, the Jewish lunar/solar calendar existed side by side with the Egyptian solar calendar. The Roman Empire adopted the Egyptian calendar when the cultures of Egypt and Rome were merging. At the inception of Jewish and Egyptian calendars, prehistoric societies had a structured culture. Complete with agricultural class, royalty and priesthood, religion and calendar implementation had priority. The given date for Creation via the Jewish calendar is 3,761 B.C.E. Egyptian calendar science begins between 4,241 B.C.E. and 4,236 B.C.E. Averaging 3,761 B.C.E. and 4,241 B.C.E. reckon 4,001 B.C.E. years midway between the two calendar systems. Time split at the year 4,000 B.C.E. produced the Hebrew Calendar and the Egyptian Calendar for this example. The most amazing component in nearly every deep chronology is the one offered by and interpreted from, the Holy Bible. The sheer mention of Bible references throws a new spiritual light upon the work.
I later returned to the begat genealogy following Adam to unscramble the rest of the computations. I had the gut instinct impression that I was on the right track to full perception of the recorded eras. Realizing that I detoured away from the mainstream religious opinions of Adam's Creation story was my first confrontation. Each character in the genealogy listed a primary age until his first-born son and a secondary age extending to the end of his lifetime. I strongly felt the Mayan Calendar represented clues to explain the ages. My first step was to double the Mayan 400-year-l/s-Baktun-cycle. I set aside repeating 800-year blocks in the generations from Adam through Jared. I began solving for the other pieces of the puzzle. Writing helped me to understand the bigger picture. I developed new terminology such as the 800-year Generation Cycle to improve clarity.
I knew from the flood scriptures 12 months of 30 days each (Genesis 8:3, 4) occurred for a 360-day calendar year. Five days remained following a 360-day midpoint length of year. The 360-day midpoint fell after 354-days, or 355-days per lunar year, depending on how approximated, and before the 365-day-solar-year. I reasoned that 360-years were the midpoint of a cycle that matches a 360-day midpoint length of year. Since then, I have incorporated accepted Mayan Calendar terminology to aid in defining time lengths. The 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year was a modification of earlier work. I also adopted the Mayan Tun word to indicate the 360-day midpoint length of year. Numerical matching concepts were also taking shape. A 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year numerically matches with a 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle. My approach likewise numerically matches a 360-day-Tun-year with a 360-year-Tun-cycle. Conversions for computations between 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-years and 360-day Tun-years allowed developing the cognitive plan for the primary age category from Adam through Jared. I broadened the terminology by applying hyphenated phrases and meanings to the 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle and 360-year-Tun-cycle.
The Antediluvian Calendar order stems from natural, uniform lunar and solar motion. This lunar/solar calendar plan appreciates without special intercalations. I was able to work out the rules for Cainan's ages by applying the solar-side of lunar/solar separation from Seth's primary 105-year age forward. Doubling the 400-year-l/s-Baktun-cycle for an 800-year Generation Cycle fit the secondary ages as a place value unit. By investigating further the literal Hebrew definitions of Adam, Eve and Seth, I gradually gained a more comprehensive viewpoint for the ages of early people. Where I may have been in moderate disagreement with some Church teachings - the Bible words and information remains intact as written so long ago. Numerical matching seemed infallible regarding day and year age numbers and literal Hebrew meanings served to adjust remaining topics. Theologians may consider what I was doing incorrect according to routine principles. Nonetheless, new facts forced me to accept the calendar framework in favor of things once alleged true. I was working with absolute time, going deeper into the calendars than anyone had ever gone before. The research gradually affected my past beliefs in a learning process, modifying them to accommodate the new. A permeated faith would drastically change my life. In short, the spirit of God did "afflict my soul." Personal theology had to oblige Bible study purely for time purposes. I developed a hybrid philosophy to permit calendar science. I wanted to learn about God. I overcame the prime obstacle by addressing calendar issues instead of the usual theological. One major contention glared back. Adam's era commenced an 800-year Generation Cycle. Either this information was ordained to Adam directly with life from God or else Adam, or his forerunners had figured it out on their own merit through tireless observation of the skies.
I was chipping away at that thing arbitrarily called the time barrier. Several years before, I did not understand, nor did I believe completely. I had been stumbling on the fringes of new age ideology and not quite sure of what I was doing. The interaction between the Jewish Calendar and the other main calendar systems of the Sun Kingdoms and Egyptian were obviously exerting more influence on the modern era than I had given credit to or imagined. For the last several years, I had wrestled with the serious study of time. I had adopted some of the previous religious ideas that worshipped time. A single omnipotent deity could rule over many angels or deities, since all were intangible. Only names and customs had changed. The calendar was the source and outlet for the miraculous. The ancient Jews knew that to worship on the wrong day profaned God.
The Bible tells of ancient people worshipping false idols and sacred pillars. Seth and his planetary feminine counterpart Venus were significant time deities too. Great balls of rock and ice hurtling through space were not the focus of prayer. Instead, they were accessing the supernatural regularly and consistently by doing vast time projections. Egyptian solar worship dedicated the sun and stars as natural timekeepers. Physical, inanimate objects were ritualistic tools to study time. The Sun Kingdoms devoted their purposes to heavenly exploration for lunar/solar time. Last to the group were those practicing a 364-day-Ethiopic-calendar, including the Enochian Sect.
Numerically matching numbers of days per year, versus years per cycle, agrees with ancient doctrines. I have no physical monuments, edifices, nor even the slightest trinket of these pagan beliefs. In Judaism and Christianity, God has no form or flesh. God remains intangible and therefore spiritual. Age to age, anything material eventually has value, a price and is a candidate for destruction, thievery or persecution. The Son of God gave proof of life after death. Jesus is the Paschal lamb of God that gave the blood sacrifice for humanity. Christ's life of over 30 years, the miracles performed, the later acts of the apostles done in His name, and the calendar version that we now call A.D. are all from an immutable, living God. Christ was comparable with the center of time. Christ knew the futures of others many places in the four gospels. Some interpretations relate symbolism of the 12 disciples to the new 12-month Julian Calendar year. Christmas and Easter indicate a transition process from the old 10-month Roman solar year and concern to overlay Christian celebrations onto solstice and equinox festivals. New Testament events render testimony to advance supernatural faith. My testimony summarizes calendar research to add one more.

The Rock Almighty. Sweet Land Of Liberty and Christmas Week Concert Monday With Bloodgood
Our freedom was a God-given gift given to those who so valiantly fought for this liberty. These brave patriots hungered for freedom of choice, for their rights, and to worship according to the dictates of their own heart. The patriots fought with every fiber of strength they had, both bond and free.
When we pledge allegiance to our flag, what does that mean to us? Do we take our freedom for granted? Many countries have no rights and are not at liberty to say what they feel or to worship as they please. In some countries, Christianity cannot be preached among the people. Newspapers, media, and even the Internet are all government controlled. Do we think of the freedom we possess? Have you ever thought about the patriots who fought for the liberty that we enjoy? These brave men desired to live in a free land, not ruled by a monarchy.
Why do we celebrate the fourth of July? On July 4, 1776, Thomas Jefferson wrote the "Declaration of Independence." This document inspired every patriot to fight for his liberty. As General George Washington stood before the Continental Army with the document in his hand, he took a look at the weary men before him in their tattered clothes, and he realized they had not eaten a decent meal for months. These underfed men were a sight! Washington knew his men needed to be inspired and this document would do the trick.
As he read the declaration out loud, not a sound was heard as the men listened. They were touched when he came to the part, "…We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."
As these patriots listened to every word, they were buoyed up, inspired, ready to fight for their freedom against the tyranny placed upon them. The fire inside them grew and no one could stop the need they felt for liberty. The "Declaration of Independence" was inspired of God.
Many of these patriots were willing to die for freedom. Nathan Hale, a 23-year-old artist and schoolteacher, felt the conviction of his beliefs so strongly that he agreed to go on a dangerous mission for George Washington. He was caught with sketches of British gun emplacements and the penalty for being a spy was to be hanged. As he marched up the steps of the gallows, he held his head high. When he turned to face the people, he declared boldly, "I regret that I have but one life to give for my country."
Many of these brave men were even willing to die for their liberty, for their family, for peace and equality. The Continental Army consisted of farmers and merchants, not learned in the way of combat. Many were barefoot and in tattered clothes. They lacked enough food for everyone and many times went hungry but yet they still fought for what they believed in. The patriots knew the value of freedom and were willing to pay the price.
When Thomas Paine saw the sad condition of the Continental Army, he wrote, "These are the times that try men’s souls…Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: ‘Tis dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to set a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed, if so celestial an article as Freedom should not be highly rated."
They lost many battles but won the battles that made a difference. The crossing of the Delaware will never be forgotten. Many were sick, fatigued, and their feet were wrapped with cloth to protect them from freezing weather. George Washington knew the Continental Army was outnumbered, but he was inspired to take his army across the Delaware in a terrible blizzard. He suspected the Hessians would be drunk from the Christmas festivities.
In the early hours of the morning, the surprise attack was a never-forgotten battle of victory that shocked the Hessians, who were German mercenaries, skilled fighters, paid by the British to cut down the patriots. After a count was taken, it was discovered that not one patriot had been killed in that battle. This victory turned the war around.
The British were stunned at what had happened. They looked down their noses at the Americans and considered them as untrained and uneducated rabble. When they found the Continental Army to be so strong and stubborn, they changed tactics. They moved a part of their forces to the south with the idea of moving northward, capturing one state at a time.
In August of 1780 in South Carolina, a great and terrible battle took place. The British were gaining an advantage. When all seemed lost, General de Kalb and his men continued to valiantly fight for freedom. He believed in the cause of liberty so much that he refused to give up even though he knew they had lost the battle. He received eleven wounds, both musket ball and bayonet, before he collapsed and fell to the ground. British General Cornwallis had been watching from a distance and when he saw the courageous General finally fall to the ground, he sent his aides to retrieve him with a stretcher. Three days later he died in the name of freedom. General Jean de Kalb was the most courageous and valiant man Cornwallis had ever seen in the face of battle, fighting until he dropped, not giving up his cause for liberty. Even though he was the enemy, Cornwallis paid him the highest military honor at his burial.
Most of the victories in the south came from Francis Marion and his men because the northern armies were not familiar with the territory. Colonial Francis Marion knew how to deal with the enemy in his own homeland. He was known as the Swamp Fox and had the deadliest fighting command in the whole revolution. He had trained his men to disappear into the thick forest and swamps of South Carolina without a sound. Hidden from sight, they would strike and then quickly move through the woods like silent shadows, fading into the forest and undergrowth. Francis Marion and his men tormented the British army with one ambush after another. This frustrated the British officers because they were helpless in the woods and swamps.
After eight long years, the patriots beat the greatest military power in the world. Have we ever thought about the tremendous price these men paid for our freedom? The next time we look at our flag, remember the cost as you pledge your allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and remember that we are "one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all." That’s what helps us stand out as a great nation. Without God’s help, we would never have won the war.
Alexis de Toqueville, a French Statesman, visited our country in the early 1800s. He said that he looked for the "greatness of America." It was not until he witnessed the faith of the American people in their churches that he found the true greatness here. He said, "America is great because she is good. If America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great."
Samuel F. Smith wrote, "My country, ‘tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing; Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrims’ pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring! Our fathers’ God, to thee, author of liberty, to thee we sing; Long may our land be bright with freedom’s holy light. Protect us by thy might, Great God, our King!"
