Happy New Year Message for All People of Earth 2026

On this last day of 2025, I thank the Lord for waking me from sleep this morning. My mind was full of thought upon rising, thinking about the volume of things we have to be thankful for, yet we have very little time to prepare for the events soon to come upon this earth. Many people are seeing the evidence that something huge is coming, although the vast majority of persons believe that life will continue as it has been for years. ************************************************************************************* I am no better than anyone else, as I was raised in Southern California, south Los Angeles specifically. I recall travelling through L.A., riding in my parents 1951 mercury, with no seat-belts, going to and from Church, seeing National Guard troops, with Bayonet Rifles, patrolling streets during riots. Yes, we went to Church on Gods Holy Sabbath Day, the Lords seventh day of the week. Every day of the week, the Lord created, and this is noted on the first page of the Best version of the Sacred Historical Scriptures. KJV ************************************************************************************ Genesis Chapter 1, God declares His creation days, and in Chapter 2, verse 2, He states His work was ended, so He rested on the seventh day, He blessed the seventh day in verse 3, and He sanctified the seventh day, or He made it Holy. Jesus Christ, and His Father God, with the Holy Spirit, were all there at Creation of this earth. See John 1:1-14, Hebrews 1:1-14, and 1John 1:1-10. Only the Holy Father, Son and Spirit, can make anything, especially a day they created, Holy. No sinful man, or so-called religious, or governmental body, can make anything holy. This is also related, Gods word also states in Malachi 3:6, and Hebrews 13:8, that Gods word does not change in any manner, or for any reason. Gods word also states that the things that happened in the past are, and will continue to happen as in the past, even to the extent that God requires the past occurrences to happen again. ************************************************************************************ I may be considered fortunate by some individuals, to have been raised by Dad and Mom living together, while raising sex children in a Christian household. Yes, they took us to Church weekly, and put all of us in Church school, from grades one through grade 12, and also some college years. I personally was educated in SDA Church schools 16 of 17 years, for which I am very thankful. As previously stated, I am not faultless, as each of us have natural tendencies to commit sin, and the Scriptures states in Romans 3:23, this very fact. We have all gathered characteristics from many elder ancestors, all of which had faults, so no person is sinless, only Christ who was both God and man who was tempted in all points as we are, yet He did not commit any sin. See Hebrews 4:15. ************************************************************************************ My older brother and I played catch in the driveway of our home, so sports was in our blood. We did not have Television until my High School years, but because of Church and school, I never considered sports for a career, it would have conflicted with Gods Holy Sabbath Law. These days, sports is huge, it is big business, money, attraction, and distraction for many persons. This is how the enemy of souls would have it, he, Satan invented sports to distract all people everywhere from the essential work of preparation for Gods Heavenly Kingdom. Satan wants worship, and has always wanted worship, as Isaiah 14:12-15, says, “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.” Revelations 12:7-9 “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Verse 17 “And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Rev. 13:4, “And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?” Verse 8, “And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Matthew 5:48 states “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” ************************************************************************************ We cannot achieve this perfection without spending much time in reading and studying Gods word. It is not just sports, but anything that monopolizes the majority of our time, money, talents, attentions, can be problematic and cause us to be found wanting, and without the wedding garments, oil, or the necessary preparation, for the soon coming of Jesus Christ. The definition of Christian, the noun, is one who professes belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ. In my simple understanding, after reading all the scriptures, from Genesis 1:1, through Revelations 22:21, a Christian believes in all the teachings of Jesus Christ. To the contrary, many persons believe that they can claim Christianity and yet believe what they choose to believe, and how much of Gods word, and His teachings. For me, those persons are partial Christians, or anti-protestants. ************************************************************************************ When we consider all the negative things we are daily confronted with in this life, there is no comparison to the life we will be privileged to live with Christ and the Father, in the Heavenly homes, and the earth made new. Let us all strive for the goal to make Heaven our Eternal home. May God Richly Bless us all, as we begin this New Year of 2026.
