What's in the cards for the coming year? Time will tell.... and RCMP Letter from 21 Year Veteran Corporal Richard Mehner

 Hail King John III...











Continuing on just to let others knows .... 





RCMP member sent on unpaid leave writes his powerful letter you must read:

Long, but great read.

RCMP MEMBER SENT ON UNPAID LEAVE WRITES THIS POWERFUL LETTER YOU MUST READ:

HI EVERYONE,

Since most members make a goodbye email before they leave, I figured I should as well, despite the “special” circumstances around my departure. Anyways, my time here in the RCMP is up. For now. The low T wannabe tyrants in Ottawa have decided that I can no longer serve as a police officer because I refuse to tell them if I have submitted to their “vaccine” edict. I’ve served in the RCMP for 21 years and one of the first things I said to any person I ever arrested was “you don’t have to say anything to me.” Unfortunately, our government has told me that I have to tell them what’s in my body, and if the right drug is not inside me, I have to get it as condition of my continuing employment, human rights be damned. Why did I put vaccine in quotations above you ask? More on that later. Buckle up and tighten the straps on your government mandated shame muzzle, this goodbye email will likely ruffle some feathers.

My journey to this point of our dystopian, medical, apartheid state started like many of yours. Watching the television almost 2 years ago as reports started coming in of some strange virus out of Wuhan. I was a little concerned, but not much. You see, for the last 10 years of my life I had spent a lot of time as an amateur researcher of history and learned to my dismay that the official narrative of most events is usually a little suspect at best. Like weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, or the January 6th “insurrection” in D.C., the examples are sadly numerous.

I’ve also always been a very independent person. Following the herd has never appealed to me. When a belief is put forth to me I always evaluate it for myself and don’t simply accept it’s veracity based on the authority behind it. For example, during the last Federal Government census, I could not help but notice that the gender section had 3 boxes. Male, Female and other, which was a blank box. For real, the Federal Government of Canada allowed you to make up your own gender on the last official census. I found this to be a combination of amusing and insane. Feeling particularly bull headed and cheeky at the time, I naturally chose Minotaur as my gender. Yes, that’s right, on the Canadian government census my gender is that of a mythical giant man with the head of a bull.

So back to my Covid journey. I was skeptical of the pandemic from the start but decided to wait and see what evidence would surface of this dangerous pandemic. So I sat back and quietly observed. At that time, and still at the time I’m writing this, I was the admin NCO on the watch. I was in the unique position of seeing every file that came through PRIME in the 46 hour window I was at work each week. Naturally, this included all sudden death files. Pay attention now, have another sip of your latte if you have to. Since the pandemic began, until now, I was in a position to see every single sudden death file that came through our detachment area. What did I notice in this position? Nothing. No upwards trend whatsoever. Funny enough, I didn’t see people dropping dead in my neighbourhood either.

This was a very stark contrast to what I saw in media. A non-stop chorus on TV, radio, and internet, of case counts, hospitalizations and deaths. At no time in my life had I seen anything like it. A complete disconnect between my observed reality and that which was portrayed by my government and the government subsidized mainstream media. And they were reporting deaths in care homes. Care homes? When did the media ever report deaths in care homes unless it was some sort of instance of gross negligence? It’s called end of life care for a reason. People go to care homes at the end of their life. Death is the natural consequence, and this fact used to be understood as common sense.

When the statistics started showing that the vast majority of anyone dying from Covid, either had one or more co-morbidities, or was older than the average life expectancy, my skepticism of the pandemic narrative only grew. Then in the summer of 2020, I got Covid. For a few days I was really tired and shivered a lot. Then it was over. I survived the “deadly” disease like the vast majority of anyone else who caught it. To be honest, I’ve had worse plus, and worse hangovers.

At the end of 2020 I became convinced we were all being force fed a giant load of absolute bullshit. Don’t believe me? Look at world population statistics. Here’s a sample. At the end of 2018, the world population was 7,631,091,040 and that year 57,625,149 people died. This showed an overall death rate of .76%. I know some of you are shocked by this, but yes, 57 million people died of all types of causes in 2018. When you reach the end of your life, you die. At the end of 2019, the world population was 7,713,468,100 and 58,394,378 died. Naturally, because we had more people reaching the end of their lives, more people died. The death rate that year was .76%. Now let’s see what 2020 brought us. The year of the pandemic. At the end of 2020, the world population was 7,794,798,739 and 59,230,795 died. The death rate was .76%. Yes. That’s right. In the year of the deadly pandemic the world’s population grew by 81,330,639 people and the death rate did not change by even a hundredth of a percent. The media never once pulled back the lens to show this, they continued to show the narrow focus of case counts and Covid deaths. Even going so far as to change causes of death so that someone who died “with” Covid in their system was counted as someone who died “of” Covid. The Western world shut down over a disease about as deadly as the common flu. And our rights were shut down along with it.
Despite this disease having a non existant effect on the overall death rate of the world’s population the call came out for a mass vaccination. Since I was already skeptical of the pandemic, I was naturally skeptical of the need for a “vaccine”. Oh look, vaccine is in quotations again. Why am I doing that?

Because it’s not a f^#king vaccine!!!

A vaccine is created when a virus from nature is made harmless in a lab and then cultivated there. The vaccine, created from the neutered virus, is then injected into a person. The body then reacts to the vaccine just like it would to the unaltered, dangerous virus. However, because the vaccine is a modified harmless version of the virus, it doesn’t cause disease and the body’s natural immunity is able to “learn” how to cope with the virus. This “learning” is lifelong and is why people develop an immunity to whatever they were inoculated against. People who have been vaccinated against Measles do not get Measles, and the same with mumps etc etc. None of the so called Covid “vaccines” meet this definition. If you were wondering why “vaccinated” people are still getting Covid, and spreading it, this is why. The fact that “vaccinated” people still get Covid and spread it should tell you that this madness will never end as long as you buy into the official narrative.

How these new Covid “vaccines” work is based on a brand new technology never used on a massive scale. Particularly in regards to the 2 “vaccines” most heavily promoted, Moderna and Pfizer. These drugs use artificial Mrna technology. Think of Mrna as the software of our bodies. The operating instructions. Pfizer and Moderna use artificial Mrna based on a computer algorithm. These instructions are encapsulated in something called a nano lipid. A nano lipid is a tiny envelope of fat. There are trillions of these nano lipids in the Pfizer and Moderna shots. Once injected they circulate through your body through your body’s lymphatic system. Upon the nano lipids dissolving, your body receives new instructions for its immune system. These instructions tell your immune system to make spike proteins which resemble the spike proteins of the Covid virus. This is the key distinction you need to be aware of. Your body is being instructed to make the very pathogen that your immune system builds a defense against. This is completely uncharted territory and nothing like this has ever been done on the human population on such a large scale. The drug companies themselves have admitted they don’t know the long term side effects. When a recent FOIA request was sent to the FDA in the US, requesting the safety data they had on the Pfizer vaccine, the FDA asked a judge for 75 years to comply with the request. Nothing sketchy there.

To make matters worse. Every single Western nation has passed legislation shielding these drug companies from civil liability, if their vaccines harm people. While this legislation was passed years ago, it still applies to the Covid “vaccines.” You heard right. If the Moderna Covid “vaccine” harms you, you cannot sue Moderna. Same with every other drug company that makes any vaccine, Covid “vaccine” or not. They all have civil liability immunity for the vaccines they manufacture. Vaccine injury compensation has been paid out in the US under a tax funded program called the vaccine injury compensation fund, not as a remedy through civil lawsuits. Established in 1986, this fund has paid out $4.4 billion in claims. In Canada, we had no such vaccine injury fund until June of 2021. Hand on chin emoji goes here.

Make no mistake here. This is a large scale drug trial and whoever was jabbed is taking part. Having educated myself about these new drugs I was very skeptical when they started promoting them. Additionally, nearly all the drug companies making Covid “vaccines” have a very checkered history in quality control and ethics. J and J has payed 9 billion in settlements throughout it’s lifetime and Pfizer has payed $4.6 billion. Not for their vaccines of course, for their other pharmaceuticals. Moderna was founded in 2010 and their Covid “vaccine” is the first product they have ever put on the market. Information has since come to light that the Moderna “vaccine” was finishing in development in December of 2019, immediately before the pandemic hit. It’s almost like they were anticipating something. Do I dare put my hand on my chin and gaze thoughtfully upwards a second time?

As I was already skeptical about the entire pandemic narrative, I decided a long time ago that I was not going to take any of these “vaccines”. So as I had decided to sit back and watch how the so called pandemic unfolded, I decided to observe the vaccination campaign. One of the first things I noticed is that people like me were completely ignored and never talked about. What do I mean by people by like me? I mean people who had Covid and recovered. Suddenly, natural immunity didn’t exist anymore. Everyone had to get the vaccine regardless of whether they had natural immunity or not. Wait….. what? No one would ever suggest someone who had measles or polio should get vaccinated against those diseases. Why was natural immunity suddenly not talked about anymore? But if you knew where and how to look, it was talked about, and studied. The largest study was in Israel where the researchers concluded that natural immunity conveyed 27 times more protection than vaccination. Not double, not triple, 27 times! Fast Forward to recent times where an attorney in the US submitted a FOIA request, to the CDC, requesting records of any patient, who had a previous Covid infection, who was subsequently re-infected and then transmitted the Covid to another person. The CDC could not produce a single record of this ever happening. Yet for some bizarre reason, neither the government nor the media will ever talk about natural immunity and Covid together.

And now we are able to see much of the results of this mass vaccination campaign. And despite what you’ve been told, it’s not good. Data from the UK is showing that vaccinated adults under 60 are dying at twice the rate of the unvaccinated. American VAERS data shows these Covid “vaccines” have caused more deaths than all other vaccines combined in the last 30 years. In Europe, FIFA data has revealed a 500% increase in cardiac events and sudden deaths in soccer players. Very recently, the American Heart Association released a study which demonstrated that Mrna “vaccines” dramatically increase markers related to heart conditions. A recent German study showed that the higher a jurisdictions’ vaccination rate, the higher it’s mortality rate. On November 11th of this year, a Doctor Nagase came forward to report a record 13 still born births, in a 24 hour period, at BC Children’s hospital. They average 1 per month. During a very recent Ontario provincial parliament debate, MP Rick Nicholls confronted the health minister about a sharp rise in still births from vaccinated pregnant women in Ontario. All he got for his efforts was deflection. Despite this new evidence beginning to come light, there has been absolute silence in the media. Instead, they now want to vaccinate our children. Children are at a near zero risk from Covid. Vaccinating children with these experimental drugs, with unknown long term side effects, which are starting to show increasing adverse effects, is absolutely criminal.
Since I refuse to go along with this coerced “vaccination” campaign, I am being forced onto Leave without pay. Despite the fact that approximately 70% of the Federal workforce gets testing as an option, for some inexplicable reason, the RCMP, the CBSA and Federal Corrections have a mandatory vaccination order. I refuse to go along with this. This is nonsensical, illegal and unethical. I will continue to refuse and I have obtained legal representation, along with hundreds of other federal employees. We will get our day in court and we will win. Some may ask where our union stands on the issue. The answer is they didn’t. Our union leadership immediately bent the knee and offered no resistance whatsoever. Despite these setbacks, those who are fighting this know we have the truth on our side. The truth, at the moment, may be mere pebbles rolling down a slope. This will inevitably become an avalanche. So in reality, this isn’t a goodbye email, it’s a “see you in 2022” email.

Before I go, let me say this. Don’t be afraid. The government, and their mouthpieces in the mainstream media, have promoted a nonstop campaign of fear for almost 2 years now. Turn off your television and radios. Do your own research and question everything. Knowledge begins with asking questions. With each new variant they will try and frighten you, despite the fact that never in the history of virology has a virus ever mutated to become more deadly. Selective pressures always favour a more contagious, but less deadly mutation. The new “scariant” is Omicron. They don’t tell you that they skipped Mu and Xi in the Greek alphabet. Why? Because Mu or Xi just don’t sound scary. When you hear some brain dead parrot repeat the talking point “trust the science,” politely ask them to provide a definition of science. They never can because they don’t know. What they are really saying, but are too stupid to realize, is that they are saying “trust authority and don’t ask questions.” This, my friends, is the antithesis of science.

And get some sunshine. The latest German study, you know, actually science, showed an inverse relationship between vitamin d and Covid mortality rates. The study showed, given high enough vitamin d levels, a mortality rate of zero could be achieved. In addition, please don’t let them inject this “vaccine” into your children. Why on earth would you allow an experimental drug to be injected into your children, from pharmaceutical companies that have a history of civil litigation settlements, where these same companies have blanket legal immunity from the vaccines they create, for a disease that your children are completely safe from? It’s insanity. And the latest video where Trudeau explains he is excited to begin vaccinating children, looks completely psychotic and unhinged. Keep these lunatics away from your children. Your children are going to be just fine with their natural immunity.

.
I don’t know how many people will get to read this. I suspect that once certain ranks are aware of this email it will be pulled from the server. That right there speaks volumes in itself. Silencing the last message of a 21 year veteran who was forced to leave simply because he didn’t tell the government whether he had a drug in his body or not, doesn’t portray a leadership of transparency or good faith. On the contrary, it demonstrates both cowardice and a complete betrayal of any professed principles. Before I go, if any of you believe in courage and freedom. You aren’t alone. In fact, many members feel this way and they have created their own website: mounties4freedom.com. Another concerned group of freedom loving Canadians has created action4canada.com. Check them out when you have time.

Anyways, I have taken up too much of your time as it is. Always laugh at those who would spread fear, and see you in 2022.

Corporal Richard Mehner, your “vaccine” free Minotaur
P.S. Chief Supt. De La Gogondiere,
I taped a copy of this letter on your office door, Martin Luther style. If you don’t understand the historical reference I invite you to look it up.

Elaine Dewar Collection - Canada - Why is " Cloak of Green " not included by her on her blogger now?

Elaine Dewar put up with a lot of shit and abuse for writing "Cloak of Green" in 1995.
... so much so that she does not even mention it at her blogger now... speaks volumes.

IndieMediaEastcoast Canada says:

Brazil was key with the UN Agenda 21 years ago…. I was just allowed back on Twitter and was asking Jason Bosch on Twitter if he had read Elaine Dewar’s book “Cloak of Green” 1995? I had been recommended the book about 10 years ago and then one day around 2014 I found a copy at the library at Mount Allison University and it had not been checked out since the 90s…. ordered some copies from the local bookseller but its difficult to find and costs a lot on Amazon … this sort of important book about the UN and NGOs from Elaine -she put up with a lot of abuse for writing it– is why what Cory Morningstar says of “woman to the front” is so important and probably Cory knows of the book but its another case of the woman who truth tells being attacked.. and David Suzuki being worshipped in Canadian society instead of Dewar for her journalistic efforts.. One quote that stood out: “Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?” – Maurice Strong

Distraction Media : Derailed Joseph Gregory Hallett's "Hidden King" Story in 2020, 2021 - Trio of Shills Gathering for Photo Op & More

"Dave Mahoney" with "QCharlie Ward" and "Huna Flash" - House of Huna cult... trio of grifters from the "Grift Factory of Shills" ... Dave the 'truther' in Spain @ Mahoney.TV is behind a pay wall of 'b.s. news' and you can expect more distraction media from old boomers QCharlie Ward and House of Huna Flash, adept at grifting money, conning simpletons...


as for Global Guru Huna Flash - who famously said that the vaxx was no big deal and just a little pinch on his interview in 2020 with so-called 'ex-CIA agent' Michael Jaco -- this NZ Maori guru Huna Flash has a very special cult following of the gullible and seriously has some big money behind his efforts as he is jet-setting constantly around the world for his 'ceremonies' ... he states he will soon be head-quarterered / based near Roswell New Mexico USA [he is an operative ] ... no idea why so many are conned by this guy .. at all - - boggles the mind.

Big News claims Dave? 
What? More 'distraction media' with his fellow grifters online and on Instagram.

Alas, efforts from Kata List Productions..

Keep Calm Tantramar & Kingof.UK (bitchute.com)

... continued peaceful call to keep calm and promote King John III in stealthy mode artivism / memes and videos.... creations continue by me in earnest since 2018 for Joseph Gregory Hallett... Instagram.. Bitchute.. #kingjohniii #commonlawcourt    King of UK - YouTube


Tarot by Janine "the white hats are coming to save us" is a boomer Canadian shill -- she has put out some video content on Greg Hallett in late May 2020 -- she felt she needed to make the video
after receiving multiple emails about Hallett.. her Instagram is closed to comments... 
somehow when speaking she got his name wrong .. why?
and since then her channel has exploded and she is part of the 'well funded distraction media' - she does not use the word God. 

Based in Calgary Alberta Tarot by Janine sought out and did videos with another 'white hats' disinfo shill Carrie Kohan, a wealthy metis Canadian woman who is living in Portugal and had inserted herself into the "Hidden King" film series last year by emptying the 'King's cave' of Greg's items and inviting Dave Mahoney and Lee Dawson to visit with her... same tactic last year was used by Huna Flash of inserting himself into the "Hidden King" story by visiting Greg Hallett and put a colourful "Lemurian" decorative blanket on him...
Greg Hallett is no stranger to people who befriend him to sabotage him... they are the 'shitties'... they are always coming out of the woodwork to mess with him it seems..

"you're like a big sister to me" says Huna.. "I just love Michael Jaco" says Janine.... why?
Huna Flash used the expression..

Meanwhile at Gab... 

On the Miracle of Christ’s Birth

Today's guest post is written by Radix Verum, you can follow her on Gab here

As Christmas approaches, we must take some time to consider the miracle of Christ’s birth, arguably the single most important event in human history. A miracle is an extraordinary phenomenon that the human mind cannot explain. For example, a person born blind suddenly gaining sight without any medical intervention. Without a human explanation, such an event would be a miracle. The Nativity celebrates the miraculous incarnation of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God. Orthodox Christians spend forty days in preparation for this wonderous feast and celebrate it for two whole weeks! 

“Therefore, the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” – Isaiah 7:14 

The Biblical Prophet Isaiah foretold of this miracle of the coming of the Lord and Savior. The birth of the Savior was hoped, prayed, and planned for. Jesus Christ, the Logos, the Living Word of God is constantly revealed to us in the Bible. Again and again, the Bible prophesizes the coming of the Lord. The Old Testament was written some 400 years before the New Testament and yet Christ is continually prophesized and unveiled. This time between the Old and New Testament is called the “400 years of silence” during which there were no other prophets. Christ came at exactly the right time to complete his mission.  

“Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.” – Daniel 9:25 

The Book of Daniel is an especially rewarding read, and we see the foreshadowing of the coming of our Lord. While it may take spiritual discernment and several readings to grasp the fullness of what is being said, once you see it, it cannot be unseen. Chapter Nine of the Book of Daniel predicts the exact day that our Lord and Savior will arrive. Daniel would have had no way of knowing what he was writing about, as the Angel Gabriel spoke to him. God’s planning is meticulous and perfect. 

“But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.” – Micah 5:2 

“Therefore, will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.” – Micah 5:3

The scriptures contain these subtle, yet beautiful references to the coming of Christ, and His ministry is revealed. How He would live, how He would teach, the heavenly nature of His kingdom. 

“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.” – Malachi 3:1

Malachi presents one of the most beautiful prophecies concerning John the Baptist and the paving of the way for Christ’s ministry. Malachi 4:5 tells that this messenger is “Elijah the prophet” which is fulfilled in the New Testament. The Gospel of Mark declares John the Baptist as this messenger. Malachi had predicted a metaphorical Elijah, not a literal one. 

Orthodox Christians believe that Jesus Christ was born supernaturally in the Virgin Mary, the Holy Theotokos (Mother of God). Christ was not born of natural and human means; he was conceived inside the Virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit. This is so incredible, and the implications are manifold. This means that Christ, the eternal Son of God came into the world fully human, but also divine. Unlike the rest of humanity since the days of Adam and Eve, Christ was born to a virgin and was born holy, blameless, and sinless. Thus, the birth of Christ signifies the beginning of a new creation. In Luke we read:

 “And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God. And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, how shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore, also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible. And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.” – Luke 1:26-38

Just imagine for a moment what it would have been like for Mary to be visited by an angel and be told that she would conceive and give birth to the Son of God by the Holy Spirit. Note also that Mary consents to this, she is not ordered to agree nor is she commanded. She makes the choice to be obedient unto God. Remarkably, the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ would be born in Bethlehem, the “city of David,” thus fulfilling Biblical prophecy, specifically Micah 5:2. In Matthew we read:

“But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.” – Matthew 1:20 

Once again, the Holy Spirit is identified as being the means with which Mary becomes pregnant. This also shows a connection between the Holy Spirt and Christ, the mystery of the Holy Trinity signaled. 

In the Gospel of John, we learn more about the divinity of Christ, the Logos, who existed in the beginning before the Incarnation:

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.” – John 1:1-10

This is so incredible, that Christ a divine being would choose to incarnate into the world and be born in a manger and take on the flesh and dwell amongst us for our salvation. This virgin birth of a holy and divine being brought sinless into the world, stands in harsh contrast to Adam. In this is revealed God’s supernatural intervention in the world. The Nativity is an amazing miracle, it signifies this intervention by God, this meeting between God and humanity. In Christ Jesus, the heavenly man meets the earthly one and they are united. In this, we see how God mysteriously goes from divine glory to human suffering and weakness, to truly become one with us. To take away the sins of the world. 

As we celebrate the Nativity let us remember the profundity of God coming to man, that man may return to God from his fallen state and be united to Him through Christ forever. St. Gregory of Nyssa, in his Homily on the Nativity refers to the Nativity as a “re-creation,” a “second communion” of God with mankind. 

St. John of Kronstadt writes about the miracle of Christ’s birth in his Sermon on the Nativity of Christ:

“The Word became flesh; that is, the Son of God, co-eternal with God the Father and with the Holy Spirit, became human – having become incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary. O, wondrous, awesome and salvific mystery! The One Who had no beginning took on a beginning according to humanity; the One without flesh assumed flesh. God became man – without ceasing to be God. The Unapproachable One became approachable to all, in the aspect of an humble servant. Why, and for what reason, was there such condescension [shown] on the part of the Creator toward His transgressing creatures – toward humanity which, through an act of its own will had fallen away from God, its Creator?

It was by reason of a supreme, inexpressible mercy toward His creation on the part of the Master, Who could not bear to see the entire race of mankind – which, He, in creating, had endowed with wondrous gifts – enslaved by the devil and thus destined for eternal suffering and torment.

And the Word became flesh!…in order to make us earthly beings into heavenly ones, in order to make sinners into saints; in order to raise us up from corruption into incorruption, from earth to heaven; from enslavement to sin and the devil – into the glorious freedom of children of God; from death – into immortality, in order to make us sons of God and to seat us together with Him upon the Throne as His royal children.” – St. John of Kronstadt, The Word Became Flesh

God, in His infinite mercy and love for us, came into this world, took on the flesh, and offered Himself up as a sacrifice for our sins. 

Archimandrite Iachint Unciuleac writes “This miracle has torn History in Two: Panegyric on the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ”:

“Today Christ is Born! And the miracle of His incarnation surpassing the laws of nature have amazed all the earth, renewed the whole world, torn history in two; and flying across twenty centuries, is known to us today. Today the Messiah is born! And these tidings brought by the angels from heaven, first received by the shepherds, have flashed forth like lightning to all the ends of the earth.

These tidings, which frightened Herod and with him all Jerusalem (Mt. 2:3), have like a spiritual trumpet sounded forth from century to century, from region to region, from shore to shore; and today they have reached our hearts. Hearing these tidings the poor rejoice, the sinners are made glad, the blind can see, the sick are comforted, and the lame exalt. Having heard these tidings, the orators were stunned, for they have silenced the learned, put the philosophers to shame, and forbidden kings. At these tidings mothers rejoice, virgins sing, and infants dance.

Today Christ is Born! And the command from above that the Angels sang with joy, the shepherds proclaimed, the Virgin and Joseph heard, and the peoples repeated, have gone down through the ages like a hymn of peace made between man and God; and we hymn it also today.

Today the Lord has come to the world! And the star shining forth in the east that told of the miracle and called the three Magi to their path has carried across generations, cities, countless kingdoms, to numberless peoples; and we see it shining today in the vaults of the Church of Christ. Thus the miracle of the birth of Christ, the good tidings, the singing of Angels, and the shining of the star have gathered us together in church today, brethren, so that we may rejoice in the Lord and spiritually celebrate.” – Archimandrite Iachint Unciuleac, This Miracle has Torn History in Two

This is such a beautiful description regarding the miracle of Christ’s birth, and Archimandrite Iachint is correct. God has entered into the depths of human life, and has lowered himself, that we might be lifted up all the way to heaven! Only through divine providence could such an event happen. Such is the love God has for mankind! All the laws of nature were overturned, and the heavens opened and sang, and the Angels rejoiced. Such humility and mercy, how can one even begin to describe such a glorious mystery? This humble incarnation and manifestation would serve to fulfill all the prophecies of the Old Testament, and in so doing reveal His love for us. 

“Thy Nativity, O Christ our God,

Has shone to the world the light of knowledge;

For by it those who worshipped the stars

Were taught by a star

To worship Thee, the Sun of Righteousness,

And to know Thee, the Dayspring From On High,

O Lord, glory to Thee!”

– Troparion of the Nativity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Tone 4

This hymn hints at the Glory of the miracle of Christ’s birth. He is at once an infant, a newborn baby in a manger but also the Ancient of Days, human but divine, a son, but also the Father. He is the Word, Wisdom itself as well as a child. His mother, the Holy Theotokos cared for Him and loved Him as God the Father cares for and loves us. There is a profound mystery there – that should be contemplated. When Christ Jesus was born, we humans were reborn, we are brought back from the death of sin and given a chance for redemption and unity with God. The dead are themselves resurrected and delivered from the sting of death and mortality. 

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son. Surely, this is a great mystery. As Christians, we should be celebrating and remembering what the Lord has done for us. God himself coming down from the highest realm, becoming man, and thus becoming one flesh with us. We are the heirs of this wonderous act, and it is our duty to live our lives by the example Christ set for us.
