Isaiah
Chapter 60 1 1 Rise up in splendor! Your light has come, the glory of the Lord shines upon you. 2 See, darkness covers the earth, and thick clouds cover the peoples; But upon you the LORD shines, and over you appears his glory. 3 Nations shall walk by your light, and kings by your shining radiance. 4 Raise your eyes and look about; they all gather and come to you: Your sons come from afar, and your daughters in the arms of their nurses. 5 Then you shall be radiant at what you see, your heart shall throb and overflow, For the riches of the sea shall be emptied out before you, the wealth of nations shall be brought to you. 6 Caravans of camels shall fill you, dromedaries from Midian and Ephah; All from Sheba shall come bearing gold and frankincense, and proclaiming the praises of the LORD.
Ephesians
Chapter 3 2 if, as I suppose, you have heard of the stewardship 1 of God's grace that was given to me for your benefit, 3 (namely, that) the mystery 2 was made known to me by revelation, as I have written briefly earlier. 5 which was not made known to human beings in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit, 6 that the Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body, and copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
Matthew
Chapter 2 1 1 When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, 2 behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, 2 saying, "Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star 3 at its rising and have come to do him homage." 3 When King Herod heard this, he was greatly troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 Assembling all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born. 4 5 They said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the prophet: 6 'And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; since from you shall come a ruler, who is to shepherd my people Israel.'" 7 Then Herod called the magi secretly and ascertained from them the time of the star's appearance. 8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and search diligently for the child. When you have found him, bring me word, that I too may go and do him homage." 9 After their audience with the king they set out. And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them, until it came and stopped over the place where the child was. 10 They were overjoyed at seeing the star, 11 5 and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother. They prostrated themselves and did him homage. Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. 12 And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their country by another way.

Catholic Fundamentalism Interpretation:
From Isaiah, chosen to receive downloads from The Programmer about the future.
Rise in splendor, you are to be downloaded with the glory of The Programmer. While others wander in the fog of ignorance, The Programmer gives you light, and your brilliance will guide those who cannot see as well. Look up, look around, they all gather to you. Your sons come from afar, and you will have nurses to carry your daughters. You shall be radiant at what you see, your beating heart will overflow, for you will be able to see and gain riches from underwater and the wealth of nations will be brought to you. Caravans shall be brought to you, and your closeness to The Programmer's programming ability will gain you gold and spices from Sheba and even foreigners will praise the Lord.
I think you've heard of the awareness of The Programmer's ability that was given to me so I could help you. Namely, that knowledge was made known to me by directly writing it into my CPU, as I've briefly described. This download wasn't provided to those in earlier gene rations as it was only been downloaded to us by The Holy Wireless Connector, that the gentiles are able to make the same downloads and, thereby, be uploaded into Heaven, members of the same Program and equal partners in the promise through The Program through the New Programming Log.
When Jesus Christ (The Program, in perfect, loving, human form) was downloaded as a baby in Bethlehem, when Herod was King, we saw that studiers of The Programmer arrived in Jerusalem from the east. They asked, "Where is the newborn kind of the Jews? We saw that The Programmer had scheduled Him and have come to worship him." When the earthly king, Herod, heard this, he was afraid that he would lose power, and so was the entire Jerusalem religious/political establishment. He got all the Jewish studiers of the First Programming Log and asked them where this king would be born. They said, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it was written by one authorized to receive downloads directly from The Programmer, 'And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are great among the rulers of Judah, since from you shall come a ruler who is to guide my people Israel."
Then, Herod spoke to the Magi in secret, and got details of The Program's download. He sent them to Bethlehem, and ordered them, "Go, and find the child, tell me where he is, and I will go and worship him." Then, they set out, and the Manifestation of the Download preceded them until it stopped over where The Program was. They were overjoyed, and on entering the house, they saw The Program with Mary, his mother. They fell down and worshipped Him. Then, they gave Him gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
The Programmer had them warned in a dream not to return to Herod, so they went back to their country, (also probably populated by children of Abraham), by another way. |
