Happy ‘NEW’ Year 2024!

While most of the world celebrated a ‘NEW’-born babe, wrapped in swaddling clothes, placed in a feeding trough, The Perfect Gift Of God, given to ALL that He Loves, I couldn’t get over how quickly we passed from 2023 to the present, but may have missed The Presence!

The word “new” in the Bible has multiple meanings:

  • Chadhash

In the Old Testament, the word “chadhash” is commonly translated as “new” and means “fresh,” “bright,” or “new”.

  • Newness

For Paul, “newness” implies resurrection. It can also refer to the new age, or the kingdom of God that comes with Jesus.

  • New creation

Paul wrote that “if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!  (2 Cor 5:17).

  • New heavens and a new earth

John looks for new heavens and a new earth because the first ones have passed away (Rev. 21:1).

Other Bible verses that mention a new beginning include: 

  • Ephesians 4:22-24
  • Lamentations 3:22-23
  • Isaiah 43:18-19
  • 2 Corinthians 4:16-17
  • Genesis 1:31a
  • Colossians 3:9-11
  • Revelation 21:1-3

Personally, I was born in ‘NEW’-ark, ‘NEW’ Jersey, got saved and baptized in ‘NEW’ Milford, moved to ‘NEW’ Mexico, have been a ‘NEW’ creation in Christ since 1982. I’m presently celebrating the ‘NEW’ Year 2024, after celebrating the ‘NEW” Year 5784, in September 2023 and I’m literally heading toward the spring to celebrate the death of our Passover Lamb, Jesus, which God told Moses (*Exodus 12:2 says, “This month is the beginning of months for you; it shall be the first month of your year”.) would be ‘raised up’ and take away our sins, as far as the east is to the west and never to be brought up again, cast into the sea of forgetfulness and the proof is His resurrection that Sunday, on the feast of first fruits, counting 50 days up to Pentecost, when the promise of The Father, His Holy Spirit was poured out on all flesh!

The ‘This Is [the beginning of] That,’ of Joel 2, proclaimed by The Apostle Peter in Acts 2, is still being played out in our day, which is why I believe the enemy is going after our children today, because Herod couldn’t wait to kill the babies in Bethlehem, when Messiah was born and Satan wants to distort The Truth Of God’s Word, by taking away the true identity of the sons and daughters, who God says are going to prophesy [telling forth the divine counsels], he doesn’t want the young men to see visions (divinely granted appearances) or the old men to dream ‘divinely suggested’ dreams  The accuser of the brethren and the sisterhood does not want the men & women servants of God to prophecy [telling forth, predicting future events pertaining especially to God’s kingdom].

I don’t know about you, but I’m waiting for a ‘NEW’ Heaven and a ‘NEW’ Earth, according to Isaiah 65:17 and in the Revelation of Jesus Christ, the last book of the bible, God’s going to give us a ‘NEW’ name and He’s making everything ‘NEW’ – Revelation 21:5.

Jeremiah prophesied of the ‘NEW’ Covenant, which Hebrews tells us is the ‘NEW’ & Better Covenant, so I leave you with the below scriptures to read and meditate on a footnote at the bottom of this page to prayerfully consider, but please understand, The Word Of God states that no one scripture stands on its own interpretation, so like Job’s friends, I would say their words are certainly true, from their own perspective, but not Holy Spirit Truth and for all Solomon’s Wisdom, we all fall short of the glory, but clearly there are many ‘NEW’ things recorded in Holy Script, pointing to ‘NEW’ things that happened, are happening and those that will happen – and that’s The Truth!
