Jesus the Judge Jesus came as a Baby but will return as a King. Branch Press announces their new Christmas Card for 2008 called Jesus the Judge. This prophetic card is designed to help people to understand the signs of the times in the light of Biblical Prophecy. ‘But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro and knowledge shall increase.’ Daniel 12:4 ‘From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that He is near, at the very gates.’ Mark 13:28-29 ‘As it was in the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man’ Mat 24:37 (The Days of Noah were categorised by rebellion against the moral laws of God, in Greek Apostasia, lawlessness, the earths crust coming under pressure, signs in the heavens and true believers a tiny minority mocked by the world which, like Sodom and Gomorrah, has become a stench in God’s nostrils and is ripe for sudden, unexpected judgement.) ‘God is our refuge and strength, a very well proved help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth be moved, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea;’ Psalm 46:1-2 ‘The earth lies polluted under its inhabitants… Therefore a curse devours the earth, and its inhabitants suffer for their guilt; they are scorched and few men are left.’ Isaiah 24:5 ‘The kings of the earth …, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and His anointed, saying, “Let us burst their bonds asunder, and cast their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord has them in derision. Then He will speak to them in His wrath and terrify them in His fury…’ Psalm 2:2-5 ‘...when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flames of fire, inflicting vengeance upon those who do not know God and upon those who do not obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus. They shall suffer the punishment of eternal destruction and exclusion from the presence of the Lord…’ 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9 'who do not obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus. They shall suffer the punishment of eternal destruction and exclusion from the presence of the Lord…’ 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9 ‘And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent’. John 17:3 INSIDE READS: JESUS CAME AS A BABY And while Joseph and Mary were at Bethlehem, the time came for her to be delivered. And she gave birth to her first - born son and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. Luke 2:6-7.

Miracle Babies Steve Downes is an Eastern Daily Press Reporter in Norfolk.

Later their baby Ezekiel was born perfect – no cystic fibrosis! Donato Anzalone is a Pastor in Lugano.

'A Star is Born' 5 3/4" x 8 1/4" A Communist Atheist Nuclear Physicist finds Christ and meets an Angel! PRICE per card including envelope:- 70p each Delivery 10p per card Personalised cards with company logos and addresses fixed charge + £50 regardless of quantity.	A Star is Born 'I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to these things to the Churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright Morning Star.' Revelation 22:16 A man was having lunch with his cousin, our Ambassador to Georgia, at his residence in Tbilisi. There he met a Georgian neighbour who told him this story: "I was a communist atheist, nuclear physicist in the space programme in the Soviet Union. I looked at all the stars in the universe and saw that they were dead. They had no life as we know it. I contrasted this with the millions of organisms, insects, birds, fish, flowers and all the beauty of Planet Earth. As a scientist I knew, if I was honest, that there must be a Creator. So I went to Church to look for Him and I found Him. I became a Christian. Then one day an Angel appeared to me and said. 'You are to be a Priest!' He shrugged his shoulders at the absurdity that God should choose a former atheist. 'So I became a Priest.' He is now Father Zachariah in the Georgian Orthodox Church in Tbilisi, Georgia. 'For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. Ever since the creation of the world His eternal power and divine nature, invisible though they are, have been understood and seen through the things He has made. So they are without excuse;' Romans 1:19-20 To order today print: ORDER FORM

'Snow Geese' by Marcia Gibson-Watt 8 1/4" x 5 3/4" An Atheist Scottish Farmer finds Christ through the Snow Geese PRICE per card including envelope:- 70p each Delivery 10p per card Personalised cards with company logos and addresses fixed charge + £50 regardless of quantity.	The Snow Geese There was a Scottish farmer who did not believe in the Christmas story. The idea that God would become a man was absurd. His wife, however, was a devout believer and raised their children in her faith. The Farmer sometimes gave her a hard time, mocking her faith and belief in the incarnation of God in the baby of Bethlehem. 'It's all nonsense', he said, 'Why would God lower Himself to become a human like us? It's a ridiculous story'. One snowy Sunday evening his wife took the children to Church while the Farmer relaxed at home. After they had left, the weather deteriorated into a blinding snow storm. Then he heard a loud thump against the window. Then another thump! He ventured outside to see what was happening. There in the field was the strangest sight, a flock of geese! They had been migrating south but had become disorientated by the storm. They were stranded on his farm, unable to fly or see their way. The Farmer had compassion on them. He wanted to help them and realised his barn would give them shelter for the night. He opened the barn doors and stood back, hoping they might make their way in. But they didn't realise it would be a shelter for them. So he tried to shoo the geese in but they ran in all directions. Perplexed, he got some bread and made a trail to the barn door. But they still didn't catch on. Nothing he could do would get them into the warmth and shelter of the barn. Feeling totally frustrated, he exclaimed, 'Why don't they follow me? Can't they see this is the only place where they can survive the storm? How can I possibly get them to follow me?' He thought for a moment and then realised that they would not follow a human. He said to himself, 'How can I possibly save them? The only way would be for me to become a goose. If only I could become like one of them. Then I could save them. They would follow me and I would lead them to safety.' At that moment he stopped and realised what he had said. The words reverberated in his head. 'If only I could become like one of them, then I could save them.' Then, at last, he understood God's heart towards mankind. He fell on his knees in the snow and worshipped Him!

'Storm Without, Peace Within' 5 3/4" x 8 1/4" Christ is revealed in a photo taken out of an aeroplane in an electrical storm. PRICE per card including envelope:- 70p each Delivery 10p per card Personalised cards with company logos and addresses fixed charge + £50 regardless of quantity.	STORM WITHOUT, PEACE WITHIN A plane, on a scheduled flight from Australia to New Zealand, flew into an electrical storm. Thunder and lightening surrounded the plane which fell about the sky in an alarming manner as the pilot fought to keep control. The passengers started screaming, believing a crash was inevitable, as a spirit of panic filled the cabin. At the back of the aircraft two ladies were praying. They reminded Jesus that He had calmed a similar storm on the Sea of Galilee. Would He please do it again? At the simple and child-like request the plane was immediately restored to level flight, while the peace of God filled the cabin and calmed the passengers. Outside, however, the storm continued unabated. The two ladies realised no one would believe their story so they took a photograph out out the window, of the thunder and lightening. How could there be such peace within and storm without? This is the photograph! Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. In the storms of life even the greatest sinner can come to Him and receive His peace. This was the discovery of Davey Falcus, a Crime Boss who ran the drugs racket in Newcastle on Tyne. This is testimony. 'On 16th August 1995 I picked up a Bible and read 'He who seeks finds.' Totally desperate and on the verge of suicide, I called out to Jesus Christ asking for forgiveness. There was no answer so I went on shouting till I got one! To my utter amazement and joy a bright shining light filled the room. Wave after wave of pure bliss rolled over my body. Then I saw a vision of Jesus Christ. He said to me, 'Son, your sins are forgiven, go and sin no more.' It was the most beautiful experience of my life. Today I have joy, peace, love and contentment. No longer is my mind full of fear, paranoia and violence. The voices are now silent and He has set me free from drugs, alcoholism and cigarettes. I found the answer to all my problems in Jesus Christ. I am now a Minister and Evangelist preaching all over the world in prisons, schools and on TV and radio. Jesus is now my best friend!"
