  • The Three Kings Were MAGI-Astrologers?

    The Three Kings Were MAGI-Astrologers?
    Dec 15 2025
    ***Durante los últimos años, he publicado este mensaje por estas fechas. Normalmente espero hasta después de Navidad, ya que la mayoría de las personas de origen latino celebrarán pronto el Día de Reyes. Este año decidí publicarlo mas temprano. ¡Confío en que esto les traiga luz hoy, en el nombre de Jesús! For the last few years, I have published this message around this time. I usually wait until after Christmas because Three Kings Day will be celebrated soon by most Latin people. I trust this will bring light to you today in Jesus' Name! When I was raised in Puerto Rico in the 60's, we celebrated Christmas, but "Reyes" or "Kings" was THE celebration of when the three Kings or Magi came to worship Jesus. The night before Three Kings day celebrations on January 6 were special nights. Children all over the island would leave grass out (generally with a manger built or prepared for the occasion) to feed the camels of the Three Kings, and they in turn would leave presents. Many times, Reyes was a much bigger celebration than Christmas. We loved Reyes! As you grow up, and begin to follow Jesus, you learn a few things if you will study. For example, the names and the numbers of the wise men that came from the East are never mentioned in the New Testament. Not only that, the word translated as wise men (magoi) is not the Greek word for kings (basileon)! Oops! So much for the tradition of the Three Gentile Kings that came to worship baby Jesus, all based on human invention. None of it is Scriptural! The above may be disconcerting for the unlearned, but the truth will not oppress you. The truth of God's Word will make you free from the traditions of men, if you will allow it. (John 8:32) Here comes much food for thought. The Wise Men that Came to See Jesus were Magi - Astrologers? Does anybody but me have a problem with the tradition that the wise men were astrologers of the Magi caste from Babylon? I hope not. For many years, as a Christian, that “scratched” at me on the inside. We know from Scripture how much God despises all the pagan practices of idolatry that include sorcery (deals with potions and spells), witchcraft (those that cast spells-incantations and curses and invoke (evil) spirits to get their will done), necromancers (those that attempt to speak to the dead, mediums), soothsayers (fortune tellers, and that includes the Ouija boards of today, tarot cards, divination, psychics), spiritists (those that channel evil spirits to tell your fortune), and astrologers (those that tell of events past, present, and future by “reading” the stars and planets). Here are a few verses of Scripture that put in view God’s perspective: Do not defile yourselves by turning to mediums or to those who consult the spirits of the dead. I am the Lord your God. (Leviticus 19:31 NLT) I will also turn against those who commit spiritual prostitution by putting their trust in mediums or in those who consult the spirits of the dead. I will cut them off from the community. (Lev. 20:6 NLT) Men and women among you who act as mediums or who consult the spirits of the dead must be put to death by stoning. They are guilty of a capital offense. (Lev. 20:27 NLT) And do not let your people practice fortune-telling, or use sorcery, or interpret omens, or engage in witchcraft, or cast spells, or function as mediums or psychics, or call forth the spirits of the dead… The nations you are about to displace consult sorcerers and fortune-tellers, but the Lord your God forbids you to do such things. (Deuteronomy 18:10-11, 14 NLT) Manasseh also sacrificed his own son in the fire. He practiced sorcery and divination, and he consulted with mediums and psychics. He did much that was evil in the LORD’s sight, arousing his anger. (2 Kings 21:6 NLT) God calls these practices evil and wicked in the sight of the Lord, arousing His anger, spiritual prostitution, and a capital offense. He is the same today. He has never changed His mind on the subject. (Malachi 3:6) Here is one portion in the Scripture that specifically referred to the astrologers of Babylon (Isaiah 47:1-5), the very caste that the wise men that came to worship Jesus were supposed to belong to! So, disaster will overtake you, and you won’t be able to charm it away. Calamity will fall upon you, and you won’t be able to buy your way out. A catastrophe will strike you suddenly, one for which you are not prepared. “Now use your magical charms! Use the spells you have worked at all these years! Maybe they will do you some good. Maybe they can make someone afraid of you. All the advice you receive has made you tired. Where are all your astrologers, those stargazers who make predictions each month? Let them stand up and save you from what the future holds. But they are like straw burning in a fire; they cannot save themselves from the flame.” (Isaiah 47:11-14 NLT) God mocks them! They cannot save themselves from the flame! Destruction was coming ...

  • The Serpent On The Pole: The Story of our Great Redemption- #20

    The Serpent On The Pole: The Story of our Great Redemption- #20
    Jul 29 2025
    Pronto viene en nuestro idioma: This is one of 34 short messages taught by using my book "The Story of Our Great Redemption" as my preaching notes! Everybody in the Church at large has heard of John 3:16: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.(John 3:16 NKJV) Have you heard this next verse before? And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up. (John 3:14 NKJV) That was John 3:14, a rarely quoted verse in the same teaching of Jesus to Nicodemus. Yes, that is only two verses before John 3:16, yet it is seldom used or quoted. Mostly, in Holy Spirit-baptized (tongues- talking), healing-believing circles, this verse is used to refer to divine healing. The connection to healing should be obvious, but there is much more. Notice the emphasis of Jesus on using the serpent on a pole as referring to His death on the cross. Why would He use the serpent as a symbol of His sacrifice, and not refer to Himself as the spotless Lamb of God on the cross? No question that He was the spotless Lamb of God offered up for us as a sacrifice (1 Peter 1:19), but then something evil and sinister happened to Jesus on the cross that merited identification with the serpent. We study this powerful truth as it relates to His sacrifice for us. Be mightily blessed! Freely download my books below on this subject of Jesus going to hell for us and read the following FURTHER proofs of the decent of Jesus for us into hell itself. _______________________ Download the free book that was the basis for most of this study, “The Story of our Great Redemption: Beyond Human Imagination!” That's the link to get the free 194-page book. I've published five different versions on this subject since 1977. The latest 2013 version in Spanish,“Tres Días y Tres Noches en el Corazón de la Tierra” is 290 pages long. Obviously, the Lord taught me a few more things from His Word. That is the most complete version I have published. In its pages are many of the extra things I brought out in these podcasts that were not in previous versions. Get the free "Tres Días..." PDF here. Glory to God! __________________ Did the Soul Of Jesus Descend to Hades After His Death on the Cross? Scripture, 2 partial articles, and the Early Church Fathers on this mighty Subject Most of what follows was generated with Google AI, though it is also accesible in The Ante Nicene Fathers 10 volume set of books. Using AI it was extremely easy to find. AI also generated some interesting articles. I didn't add these patristic references in my books on this subject published in 1977, 1978, 2010, 2011, and 2014, both in English and in Spanish. I've published 5 books on the subject. Thankfully, my printed books on the subject have found their way to Bible schools, Bible studies, pastors, ministers, and other believers around the world. I've based myself in my books on Scripture references as the Lord has taught me over the years. It is important to note that I am certainly not alone in teaching this subject from the Old and New Testament. The earliest scriptural reference goes back to the prophetic Word in Psalms 16:10 and in other references I quote from the book of Psalms. Peter taught on Jesus descending into Hades in the first recorded message after the Holy Spirit fell in Acts 2:24-31. Many of the early Ante-Nicene Fathers, such as Ignatius of Antioch, Polycarp, Justin Martyr, Tertullian, and Irenaeus of Lyons, believed that Christ descended to the realm of the dead, which they often equated with Hades or Sheol. It is important to note that the interpretation of Christ's descent to the dead varied among early Christian writers, with different understandings of the precise nature and purpose of this descent. However, the concept of a descent to the realm of the dead was widely accepted, and passages like Acts 2:24-31 played a role in shaping this understanding. References to Jesus in Hades (or the underworld/realm of the dead) in the second century AD can be found in a number of Christian writings: Irenaeus of Lyons (c. 130 - c. 202 AD): In his work Against Heresies, Irenaeus mentions Jesus' descent into the regions beneath the earth (commonly understood as Hades), noting that Jesus preached there and declared remission of sins to believers. Melito of Sardis (c. 180s AD): In his sermon On Pascha, a liturgical work for Christian Passover, Melito of Sardis proclaimed that Jesus appeared to the dead in Hades. He describes Christ's victory over death and Hades, including the imagery of Christ binding "the strong man," which could refer to exorcism and deliverance from demonic forces. Clement of Alexandria (c. 150 - c. 215 AD): In The Stromata, Clement writes about the Lord preaching the Gospel to those in Hades, specifically mentioning those who perished in the flood, and connecting it to 1 Peter 3:18-20. The Gospel of ...

  • Aquellos Que No Conocen La Historia Están Condenados A Repetirla

    Aquellos Que No Conocen La Historia Están Condenados A Repetirla
    Jul 21 2025
    El título de mi mensaje fue lo que Edmond Burke expresó (1729-1787): "Aquellos que no conocen la historia están condenados a repetirla". George Santayana lo escribió así: "Aquellos que no pueden recordar el pasado están condenados a repetirlo". (The Life of Reason, 1905.) Me sorprendió la cantidad de odio que hay por todo lo que es o se considera judío. Los judíos son para algunas voces en las redes sociales los monstruos de la codicia, la pedofilia, el mal gobierno, las guerras, las hambrunas, la dominación mundial, el anticristo, el diablo y más. Han sido acusados de todas las cosas tenebrosas y malvadas imaginables. Esta tendencia no es nueva. Históricamente, los judíos han sido odiados a lo largo de la historia y acusados, a menudo falsamente, de que eran la escoria de la tierra.[1] Aunque este artículo aborda mucho más que el antisemitismo, empiezo con ese tema. No soy judío, así que no tengo razón religiosa o motivada para hacerlo. Pero afirmo claramente que estoy en contra de todas las formas de antisemitismo. Cuando estudiaba en la universidad a finales de los 1980's estudié mucho sobre el antisemitismo a través de la historia. [2] No hay duda sobre el odio a los judíos en la religión del Islam desde que se estableció. He leído el Corán o la "escritura" del Islam. El Islam no es una religión de paz y amor, y el odio musulmán hacia los judíos (y cristianos) no es un fenómeno moderno como los apologistas han querido hacernos creer en años recientes. Las raíces del antisemitismo islámico son tan profundas como cuando Mahoma comenzó a difundir su religión falsa.[3] Pocos conocen el odio del Imperio Romano contra los judíos. Muchos países han hecho de los judíos sus enemigos. Sin embargo, muchos creen erróneamente que el odio hacia los judíos fue un incidente aislado en Alemania durante la era nazi. Si hacemos una ligera lectura de las redes sociales modernas se encuentran muchos que niegan la veracidad histórica del Holocausto, y muchos que acusan a los judíos de todos los males bajo el sol. El cristianismo tuvo un papel importante que desempeñar en la promulgación del antisemitismo. Si tuviera espacio, les hablaría del virulento antisemitismo del reformador protestante Martín Lutero. Era uno de los peores que odiaban a los judíos, y sin embargo, muchos siguen su doctrina de "sólo creer" como si fuera la verdad del Evangelio. No es sostenible bíblicamente hablando, pero eso es para otro artículo. No soy católico, así que no estoy defendiendo la oposición católica a Lutero. Para más detalles, lea el excelente libro, Martin Luther's Anti-Semitism: Against His Better Judgment, por Eric W. Gritsch. El autor Eric W. Gritsch rastrea el antisemitismo de Lutero y cómo este influenció a Europa al odio contra los judios y a "La Solución Final" bajo Hitler. También sugiero leer el tratado que Lutero escribió mostrando su odio contra los judíos, Los judíos y sus mentiras. Honestamente, suena como propaganda nazi. Aquí encontrarás algunos extractos: https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/martin-luther-quot-the-jews-and-their-lies-quot. Estudié el Holocausto profusamente así que estoy desagradablemente sorprendido por la cantidad de ignorancia, y la negación que existe sobre el tema entre algunos cristianos. Leí los comentarios de una mujer en una de las redes sociales que afirmaba que los registros de la Cruz Roja mostraban que fueron 221,000 judíos matados por los nazis en los campos de concentración, y que no fueron los aproximadamente 6 millones afirmados por las historia. Esa mujer mostraba ignorancia crasa de los hechos históricos. Los nazis llevaban registros meticulosos. Las fuerzas aliadas encontraron muchos libros de registro, pruebas físicas, y listas detalladas. La Cruz Roja no tenía todos los números de muertos que se registraban en los documentos nazis. Además, miles de judíos fueron arrastrados de las calles, sacados a la fuerza de sus propiedades, casas, y negocios. A menudo estos eran fusilados abiertamente e instantaneamente. En muchas ciudades y pueblos se encontraron fosas comunes llenas de cadáveres judíos. Lo mismo tomó lugar dondequiera que iba la maquinaria de guerra nazi. Asesinaron a hombres, mujeres y niños sin misecordia. Una forma espantosa en que los soldados nazis se deshacían de los bebés fue arrancándolos de los brazos de su madre judía y estrellándolos contra alguna pared. Había otras formas en que se deshacian de los judíos mientras conquistaban Europa. Muchos fueron conducidos en trenes y enviados a la muerte en los campos de concentración donde eran exterminados como sabandijas en los cuartos de gas venenoso, y otros fueron incinerados en los hornos. El Holocausto de los judíos fue un hecho histórico que nunca debe ser negado, reescrito, modificado u olvidado. Desafortunadamente, muchos han olvidado el horrible costo en vidas humanas causado por los nazis. Parece que muchos ...
