Nostalgia ain't what it used to be! Many of us wistfully look back to a "golden age" in our nation's past, or our personal past, when life was "simpler", and everything was just right. But there never has been a golden age like. The prophet Isaiah tells us, however, that one day the perfect golden age WILL come, and through the arrival of the Messiah. Isaiah 9:1-7 is the Christmas passage you often hear in "Handel's Messiah", and it describes who the Messiah is and what He will do when He finally returns to set up His rule on planet earth. Christmas is just the beginning of the story!

Do Christians legitimately believe that Jesus is the fulfillment of Isaiah 7:14? Doesn't "almah" just mean "young woman", and Isaiah was talking about his wife, and not the virgin Mary some 700 years later? Dr. J takes a look at Isaiah in the original Hebrew, and in the Greek translation done by Jewish scribes 200 years before Christ (the Septuagint), and gives an answer. And the hope that this passage brings still brings hope to people every Christmas season.

I have heard recently statements from podcasters and "journalists" and "historians" that Hitler and the Nazis were "cool" or perhaps just misunderstand. Winston Churchill was actually the bad guy of World War II. Really? Listen in to this analysis of the facts of WW2, and the jargon which passes itself off as legitimate history to uninformed people these days.
