He who is referred to as Immanuel, which
means ?God with us? , was to be born. At
the time of Jesus? birth the Jewish nation
was under bondage to the Romans.
Following the prophecy the whole Jewish
nation longed for a time when the ?Son? was
to be born in order to deliver them from
Roman bondage. Hawthorne states: ?And

We desperately need a new world! For weeks
I have been thinking on this subject and
making notes and marking scripture refer-
ences. My mind has lived again through some
of these wonderful teachings of the Bible
which tell us of a day that is coming when
there will be a new world order!
This world can never be a new world as long
as we are all together in it - those who love
God and those who reject the Lord Jesus
Christ. Not all the world?s peoples can share
in the wonderful blessings ahead which are
promised to those who love the Lord.
Therefore I want to encourage brethren to
show love to one another. We, Kalomo town
ecclesia, have introduced inter-ecclesial
Bible studies where we look at, among the
topics, ?Love.? John 3:16. As we are looking
forward to the soon-coming of Christ let us
share and show love.
time was to be a sign to Judah that God
was with the royal line of David to deliver
them from their enemy.? Religious rites of
the Jews were not meeting the needs of
the people at the time that Jesus was
about to be born. They had become
formal. This was one of the reasons why
the Jews were looking forward to a
deliverer.

I thank God for CAT?s tireless efforts in
remembering me by feeding me with Gospel
News. You revive my spirit spiritually. I some-
times think of copying the editorial on the
front page of every Gospel News but there
again it would need much stationery. The
editorial comments that you make really
build me up. The current one you wrote
about FRAGILE I really enjoyed, even though
before I could read it my son stole it. Yes, he
never asked for it, only I found it at his home
with his wife reading it and the guy was just
smiling over it and that?s how I lost that, but
I thank the Lord because he likes our Bible
literature very much.
I would like to request 10 Bible Basics and 12
of the 40 lesson books and a DVD disc which
you said is of a higher quality version and
don?t stop sending me Gospel News.
