Excellent message! Couldn't help thinking how the suicidal and murderous paradox sounds just like Satan, who "was a murderer from the beginning." He himself was his own first victim. In exchanging the glory of God for the self made image he could be apart from God. And he propagated or reproduced himself in getting angels and mankind to sin as he did. Jesus said Satan is the father of lies, but don't forget that every father has children. The implications of that is pretty profound when you think about it. It should often make us pause in wonder and marvel in worship to God in His making us (the redeemed) sons of God! The Son of God appeared to destroy the works of the devil! Yeah, that bit led me down that trail of thought.

Luke 2:39-45(Mary😊❤ Visit Elizabeth😊❤) "39 At that time Mary(😊❤) got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, 40 where she( Mary😊❤) entered Zechariah( 😊❤)'s home and greeted Elizabeth(😊❤). 41 When Elizabeth(😊❤) heard Mary(😊❤) 's greeting❤, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth (😊❤) was filled with the Holy Spirit(😊❤).

He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he( John the Baptist😊❤) will be filled with the Holy Spirit(😊❤) even from ❤ birth❤."( Luke 1:15 Zondervan NIV Study Bible) Dear Heavenly Fatherly in heaven, thank You for both Mary(😊❤) and Elizabeth(😊❤) that come together and we thank you for baby Jesus( 😊1st❤) in Mary's womb by imprenanted by the Holy Spirit(😊❤) and baby John the Baptist(😊❤) in Elizabeth's womb too. Both important women carried both blessing to Your people . John the Baptist prepared the way for the Lord( Jesus😊1st❤).

My wife and I are exciting for Sunday :) too. Thank you God for You're amazimg to me in Christ. In Jesus'name, i pray. Amen. Now resume back to Luke 1:42-45 "42 In a loud voice she( Elizabeth😊❤) exclaimed: " Blessed are you ( Mary😊❤) among women, and blessed is the child(Jesus😊1st❤) you will bear😊❤! But why am I( Elizabeth😊❤) so favored❤ that the mother( Mary😊❤) of my Lord ( Jesus😊1st❤) should come to me(Elizabeth😊❤)? 44 As soon as the sound of your greeting😊❤ reached my ( Elizabeth's) ears, the baby( John the Baptist😊❤) in my womb leaped for joy😊❤. 45 Blessed😊❤ is she ( Mary😊❤) who believe(trust😊❤) that what the Lord has said 😊❤ to her( Mary😊❤) will be accomplished😊❤!"( Luke 1:39-45 Zondervan NIV Study Bible.

Whereas Mary😊❤ had baby Jesus(😊1st❤) in her womb. There are no crying baby yet but the baby( John the Baptist😊❤) leaped in her( Elizabeth's) womb. Baby John the Baptist😊❤ leaped for joy 😊❤ when near Jesus( 😊1st❤) in Mary's womb(Jesus😊1st❤). In Jesus'name, i pray( John 14:6😊❤). Amen.

The Bible said, " 44 As soon the sound of your greeting😊❤ reached my ( Elizabeth's) ears, ...the baby( John the Baptist😊❤) in my womb leaped for joy😊❤."

The marriage to Jesus does not involve sexual intercourse or nakedness. Our heavenly bodies will not have erotic desires and reproductive abilities like how the angels of heaven do not. Despite the absence of sinful nature and erotic desires in heaven and even within the marriage to Jesus, nakedness is not permitted. We will be wearing white linen to wear in order to represent righteousness. So God does not like nakedness even in the absence of lust and the absence of sinful nature. And there is indication that God does not like sexual intercourse even within marriage. In Exodus 19:15, God told men not to have sexual intercourse with their wives when He was about to come down onto Mount Sinai. So there is obviously something about sexual intercourse and nakedness that God does not like. We are taught that marriage is an illustration of Jesus's love for us. However, it is probably only the non-private components of earthly marriage that illustrate the marriage to Jesus. The erotic components of marriage do not have anything related to Jesus's love for us. God probably had to temporarily allow sexual intercourse within earthly marriage for reproduction which will no longer be in heaven. That being said, even if He may not like sexual intercourse and nakedness, He permitted it within earthly marriage, so it is not a sin to do so in this context.
