Where are the apologists?
I see the attackers. Many of which are Jewish or Christian believers who are attacking others for their interpretation of the Bible.
How much of your beliefs are rooted in DYOR versus how much is from tradition?

How does this work?
Islam is built on the prophets of the Bible—yet to accept Islam, you must reject the longest-standing, most historically corroborated body of literature on the planet, with thousands of manuscripts, miracles, fulfilled prophecies, dozens of authors, and no errors or contradictions in 1,500 years—all in favor of one man’s word and nothing more.
I have questions:
Where was this teaching for the previous 2,000 years?
How does the “last prophet” contradict every previous prophet?
How is Jesus a prophet who says He is the Messiah, accepted as a prophet but rejected as the Messia

How does Satanism really work?
To be a Satanist, one has to believe in and worship Satan. That means they believe in God, the Bible, and Jesus. (Demons know Jesus is real.)
But why would someone choose to be on the losing team?
Why reject your creator in favor of His enemy?

Part 7 Continued.. who was Simeon? (7/7)
“Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace.” (Luke 2:29)
Simeon acknowledged that God had seen him and blessed him.
How often do we forget or explain away the blessings?
Do you want to be seen like Simeon? There is no book or special words. It’s just your relationship with Yahusha, Jesus Christ.

Part 6 Continued.. who was Simeon? (6/7)
“For my eyes have seen Your salvation.” (Luke 2:30)
God kept His promise.
How long do you think Simeon waited? Decades? When did he first receive this word from God?
“No word of God will ever fail" (Luke 1:37)

Part 5 Continued.. who was Simeon? (5/7)
“When the parents brought in the child Jesus…” (Luke 2:27)
Jesus looked like a normal baby.
Knowing God meant that Simeon was allowed and blessed to see what others missed.
The significance of this baby. The savior and a fulfilled promise and prophecy.

Blasphemies in our modern culture are subtle.
A child’s movie where you hear “family is our fortress”
A modification of “God is my fortress.” (Psalm 62)
Do not be mistaken. The enemy is clothed in light.

Part 4 Continued.. who was Simeon? (4/7)
“And he came in the Spirit into the temple…” (Luke 2:27a)
This moment was not accidental or routine. Simeon moved when the Spirit led him.
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” — John 10:27
He had to be in a relationship with the Lord in order to know and hear His voice.

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10:9
What do you believe?

Part 3 Continued.. who was Simeon? (3/7)
“And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.” (Luke 2:26)
How many men in the Bible received promises like this? Abraham was promised countless descendants. God gave Simeon a personal promise. Simeon was well advanced in age when it was fulfilled.
Imagine if he had given up on it, assuming it wasn’t meant for him or that he hadn’t heard clearly. Yet he continued to live faithfully, led by the Holy Spirit—a life shaped by trusting God to keep His promises. And he was one of the ver

Part 2 Continued.. who was Simeon? (2/7)
“Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon… righteous and devout… and the Holy Spirit was upon him.” (Luke 2:25)
Before Christ’s resurrection, the Spirit did not indwell everyone. This marks Simeon as a man living in rare closeness with God.

God cares about the little people, the small details—people who pursue Him and are met by Him.
Personal promises, guidance, encounters.
God is no respecter of persons, which means we can all find Him and have similar connections.
In the book of Luke we find an old man named Simeon, waiting on God.
Led by the Spirit, he holds the infant Jesus and declares God’s promise fulfilled. Simeon isn’t a king, a ruler, a genius inventor, a wealthy or powerful person of influence. Yet the Creator of the world chose to reveal His earthly presence to this man because Simeon was looking for God.
