Psalm 130
1 Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
2 O Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my pleas for mercy!
3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness,
that you may be feared.
5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in His word I hope;
6 my soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning,
more than watchmen for the morning.
7 O Israel, hope in the Lord!
For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
and with Him is plentiful redemption.
8 And He will redeem Israel
from all his iniquities!
John 1:14
The Word became flesh
and made His dwelling among us.
We have seen His glory, the Glory of the One and Only Son,
Who came from the Father,
full of grace and truth.
Romans 3:24
And all are justified freely by His grace
through the redemption that came
by Christ Jesus.
Luke 2:38
Coming up to them
at that very moment,
she gave thanks to God
and spoke about the child
to all who were looking forward
to the redemption of Jerusalem.

We watched the "Mary" December 6th film yesterday.
I read the information published when "Passion of the Christ" was released in 2004. The script is the liturgy of the Catholic Church. A Historical Reenactment done by Catholics and the Church of England Anglican and Episcopalian Good Friday Services. Methodists Churches and Presbyterian Churches do the same. The Historic reenactment is called The Way of the Cross. Based upon the Scriptures and also Mystics who do what Prophecy is, Prophecy is one voice, that of the Holy Spirit. The Mystics go back from the 1400 to 600 AD. The Catholic Church records their vision of Jesus Christ, and then before allowing the vision to be studied, verifies the facts. The mystics usually did not know each other and didn't know their vision was the one voice of the Holy Spirit. The vision overlap. The Way of the Cross is their visions woven together. Holding up over these many centuries.
And in this, I expect a Film to be Scripture-based about Mary. It was entertainment, but actually deleted and changed Luke 1 and 2. Omitted the few and important Scriptures. Uninformed. Misrepresented. Antisemitic.
Mary and Joseph wander the Sahara desert. Never does the arid area of Israel look worse. Not authentic.
It would be understandable to fluff up human interaction and emotion, but deleting 50% of Scripture isn't acceptable to me. My husband said, turn this off. The costumes? Movies often refer to other references that are tie in. Like Morpheus in The Matrix. The Temple costumes were, in fact, identical to the middle age jester costumes. You certainly didn't have to know history to see the costuming was more than foolish, these costumes mocked religion and the Jews. Antisemitic. This is not what we hope for. Ever.
The History of Mary includes a Christmas Miracle of Unity.
Beyond Unity.
The miracle of Peace in the Temple, representing Peace on earth for ALL.
The welcoming of Mary and Joseph with God's Only Son, as they were received in the Temple as an unwed mother and fiancé with infant son. Not because they invented Mary as "a child nun" with parents failing to explain the movie's destiny of Mary.
Mary's Parents are one opinion one moment and the next off to never see them again. As if. This history is for boys and men. Men train to be priests. Back to marriage sprung on oppressed women. So, one minute, add in a nunnery that did not exist. Next, create the oppression of men on women regarding marriage.
Omit, omit, omit. OMIT Branch of David Scriptures. David's Davidic Line for the Salvation of God's Mystery, Might and Plan.
Never explaining the taciturn and unwelcoming, unsmiling, un majestic guy named Gabriel. In blue. Heaven, in the Scriptures, is white clothing. Again, Gabriel appears in the Sahara Desert. If the movie wanted to be authentic, someone with some knowledge should have assisted in this.
Omissions with the Antisemitic nature, omit Scriptures Luke 1 verses 5 to TWENTY THREE, when the majestic, Archangel Gabriel appears in.... gasp, where the Jester hat people work and worship. The Temple of God in Jerusalem. Where Jesus worshiped God. Omit Zechariah meeting Gabriel, who stands in the presence of GOD. Omit Zechariah. Omit the family relationship. Omit prior knowledge, now, Surprise to his wife Elizabeth about Mary. Omit majestic leaping in the womb, just some baby kicking. No miracle there. No miracle there. No miracle there.
Lotta water down of bias. The movie vision of Gabriel is less than dramatic or spectacular. Yep, the wind blew his muffler. In the Sahara.
Psalms 130:7
Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with
the LORD is unfailing love
and
with Him is full redemption.
Luke 2:14-18
When the angels went away from them into Heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem
and see this thing that has happened,
which the Lord has made known to us.”
And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby
lying in a manger.
And when they saw it, they made known the saying
that had been told them concerning this child.
And all who heard it wondered
Luke 2:26-29
And it had been
revealed
to Simeon by the Holy Spirit
that he would not see death
before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
And he came in the Spirit into the temple,
and when the parents brought in the child Jesus,
to do for him according to the custom of the Law
he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said,
“Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace,
according to Your word;
for my eyes have seen
Your Salvation
that You have prepared
in the presence of all peoples,
a Light for revelation to the Gentiles,
And for Glory
to your people
Israel.”
33 And his father and his mother
marveled
at what was said
about Him.
Abba, Father,
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel,
for He has visited and redeemed His people
and has raised up a horn of salvation for us
in the house of his servant David
As He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from of old,
that we should be saved from our enemies
and from the hand of all who hate us;
to show the mercy promised to our fathers
and to remember His Holy Covenant
The oath that He swore to our father Abraham,
to grant us
that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies,
might serve Him without fear
In holiness and righteousness before Him
all our days.
And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High;
for you will go before the Lord to prepare His ways,
to give knowledge of salvation to His people
in the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy
of our God.
Whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high
to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Blessed be the Highest Name
of Jesus Christ
Bless the Holy Spirit as the
Light of mankind
Light of the Nations
Light of Heaven
Blessed be our Father
bringing us His exact nature
in Jesus Christ,
Lamb of God
Savior of the world
Forever
and ever.
Alleluia Amen!
♔ Lord Jesus Saves †
