- The sun in December passes through a cluster of 51 stars in the constellation called Capricornus symbolized by the sea goat. This represents Jesus as the goat of atonement slain for the redeemed.
- “God hath given it to you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the Lord” This is what is written for the goat of the sin-offering. (Lev 10:16-17) The purpose and its fulfilment was the reason Christ came to the earth. (Heb 9:11-14). God demands in this season that we demonstrate our unconditional love for one another as true followers of Christ.
- Pray for the Body of Christ to preach more about the second return of Christ, not to redeem, but to judge. Pray that in the midst of all the festivities there will be sobriety with regard to the reality of this Savior and Redeemer, who will return as Judge over Creation. (Pro 11:30b)
