As we see in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, the rapture is the sudden taking away of the dead in Christ along with believers who are alive to meet with the Lord Jesus Christ and spend eternity with Him. Many people, however, feel that the rapture is not real because they have heard of it for so long and it hasn’t happened yet. Whatever anyone thinks about the reality of the rapture does not matter. It is in your best interest to study and believe only what the word of God says about it. The Bible says that the day will come like a thief in the night and you must be prepared if you do not want to be left behind (1 Thessalonians 5:1-.

When Noah announced to everyone that a flood was coming to destroy the whole earth, they laughed at him. He started building the ark, and they laughed even more. Years passed, and no flood came. Just before he went into the ark with his family, the people were still drinking and rejoicing like every other day, but a few days after, they had all drowned. Today, many people are living recklessly, ignoring the reality of the rapture. However, the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 15:52 that the rapture will happen suddenly. Only those who are prepared for it will be saved while the rest will be left on the earth to suffer.

One thing I know for sure is that the day the rapture happens, many people will be caught by surprise. There will be a lot of regrets from people who heard about the rapture, but who lived their lives without bothering to prepare for it by giving their lives to Jesus Christ and living holy. Unfortunately for them, it will be too late because the rapture will only happen once. 

Beloved, are you ready for the rapture?

Is Rapture Real?

Male security guards lose focus as endowed lady runs into field n@ked during game attended by Prince Harry (video)

Microsecondnews Reporter November 21, 2024 0 1 minute read

On-field male security guards were dazed when a woman interrupted the Canadian Football League’s Grey Cup championship game on Sunday by running completely n@ked across the field during a match between the Toronto Argonauts and Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

The more common streakers are male, and the guards have no qualms about chasing them and wrestling them to the ground on the pitch.

But this time, it was an endowed woman who decided to pull off her clothes down to her panties before running into the pitch.

The security men momentarily remained rooted to a spot, apparently unsure how to handle the situation, as the lady, full of smiles, ran across the field.

Videos of the incident captured by spectators are now going viral.

The unidentified brunette woman was seen streaking across the field during the fourth quarter at BC Place Stadium in British Columbia, Canada.

The woman wore tan boots and carried a dark-coloured coat.

At one point she fell to the ground while trying to run backward.

She later raised her arms in the air and then calmly walked toward two police officers who escorted her off the field.

The woman was seen wearing her jacket as she exited the field with two officers.

She has now been banned from the BC Place Stadium.

The CFL’s Grey Cup championship game is arguably the biggest sporting event in Canada.

There were 52,000 people in attendance at the 111th edition of the Grey Cup, including Prince Harry and the Jonas Brothers.

I don’t really understand the kind roads they are building or patching in Enugu.

Road where supposed to be smooth and even.

But within a week after construction they are are not bumping and uneven. It press like something melting. When heavy sun heat it and vehicle drive through it they starts to deteriorate with uneven surface. The old road before was even. But as soon as the lay new asphalt on to the old road within a week. Everything became so bad.

What they are not doing currently? Could it be low quality bitumen ? Or there is not enough cement and sound? Or there is something they are not mixing yo make it harden fast?

The Newly Constructed Rode In Enugu Is No Longer Smooth

Buhari came in in 2015 and bastardized the whole Nigerian system,nothing was left normal ,every sector completely messed up except few roads and bridges constructed.

The banking system collapsed
University crumbled
Economy destroyed
Security destroyed

Buhari n his ministers such as malami,sadiya,emefiele,zainab,hadi sirika,ngige,lai , colluded to destroy the system n ruin innocent lives.

They made naijeriya a Fulani enclave and destroyed the indigenous population.

They murdered in cold blood numerous people of Benue n plateau and southern Kaduna.

After all these they were let go with not a scratch on them except emefiele.

And were supported all through by Yorubas leading to the emergence of this cruel Yoruba rule.

These people will not go to their graves in peace,all they have done to innocent souls will be required of them.

Buhari N Clique Destroyed NIGERIA And Was Let Go

Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has challenged a court ruling that banned the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) from disbursing monthly allocations to his state.

The Nigerian government recently confirmed that it has stopped the October monthly Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) revenue payment to the state.

According to the Spokesperson of the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation, Bawa Mokwa, on Friday, the decision to stop the payment was made in respect of a court order.

Meanwhile, Fubara’s legal team, led by Mr. Yusuf Ali, SAN, has filed a motion at the Court of Appeal in Abuja, seeking to overturn the ruling.

The ruling, issued by Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court on October 30, was made in response to a lawsuit filed by the faction of the Rivers State House of Assembly led by Hon. Martins Amaewhule. The lawsuit sought to stop the CBN from releasing funds to the state, citing Fubara’s refusal to present the state’s 2024 Appropriation Bill as directed by the court.

Governor Fubara, however, has argued that the Amaewhule-led faction had ceased to be legitimate lawmakers after defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Fubara’s appeal, registered as CA/ABJ/CV/1303/2024, was considered alongside five additional appeals stemming from the same case.

The ruling date will be communicated later.

A woman in a DINK relationship has divided opinion online after sharing a video explaining the benefits of it.

Although the acronym looks a bit suspect for some reason, it doesn't stand for anything that outlandish - however, a host of social media users have still taken offence to it.

Sana Akhand, 35, sparked a fiery debate in the comment section of one of her TikTok posts after uploading a clip detailing the reasoning behind her and her husband's decision to become DINKs.

For those who have no idea what these four letters stand for, it simply refers to a couple who have 'Dual Income, No Kids'.

These people have two lots of earnings to play with and don't have to spend a penny on any little Rugrats, so as you can imagine, they've often got a nice amount stashed away in the bank.

There's love and marriage, but just no baby carriage, essentially.

Whether it's to prioritise their careers, achieving financial stability or simply because they just don't want to, DINKs choose not to bring any new life into this world.

In Sana's case, it all comes down to her and her spouse's decision to put themselves first in life and protect their 'core values of freedom'.

In the video, which was originally shared online last year, the content creator said: "When my husband and I started dating, we both fell in love with how independent we were and how dedicated we were to our careers, ambition, our purpose and our devotion to our own individual happiness.

"So early on - I was 24 when we were dating - we decided that we were not interested in having kids. But I also knew that I was very young and I may change my mind.

"So I never made any definitive decisions, I just said, 'Yes, not having children sounds really, really nice but I can't promise you that at 24'."

Woman In DINK Relationship Divides Opinion After Explaining The Benefits

The family of Mr Abdul Olatunji, a Nigerian businessman imprisoned in South Africa, has appealed to the Federal Government and the Chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, to intervene in what they describe as a case of false and malicious charges.

Speaking at a press briefing in Ikeja, Lagos, on Wednesday, the family, represented by Mr Ben Abraham, founder of Zarephath Aid, alleged that Olatunji is a victim of xenophobia, judicial corruption, and state-sponsored persecution.

Olatunji, who has been in detention since 2019, is said to face life-threatening conditions in prison.

Abraham, whose organisation focuses on international criminal justice, revealed that Olatunji’s ordeal has taken a toll on his family, including the death of his mother due to the trauma.

He urged the Nigerian government to act swiftly to prevent further harm to the businessman.

“If the Nigerian government does not intervene, a citizen who has consistently brought glory to Nigeria and enhanced the lives of Nigerians in South Africa will die any moment now. He is being targeted by rogue South African agents,” Abraham said.

Originally from Osun State, Olatunji moved to South Africa in 2009 and became notable in the hospitality and tourism industries. As CEO of Hydro Club, a hospitality consultancy in Johannesburg, he employed and supported many Nigerians, earning him recognition in the Nigerian diaspora community.

However, his family claims his success made him a target of xenophobic competitors and corrupt officials. In 2019, Olatunji was accused of theft and sentenced to 15 years. His supporters insist the charges were fabricated under a scheme they termed “#DestroyAbdul.”

A petition to the Attorney-General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, detailed allegations of wrongful arrest, denial of bail, coerced confessions, and other legal abuses. Although granted leave to appeal in November 2024, Olatunji has faced challenges, including lawyers withdrawing due to alleged intimidation from South African authorities.

His brother, Abdul Sesan, expressed fears for Olatunji’s life, citing deteriorating health, physical abuse, and the confiscation of his legal documents. Despite hiring nearly 20 lawyers, all withdrew under pressure, forcing Olatunji to represent himself in court.

“This is not just about one man,” Abraham said. “This is about Nigeria protecting its citizens abroad. Abdul is not a criminal but a victim of deliberate persecution.”

After the capture of Simon ekpa,the Yoruba who hardly felt a scratch from ekpas menace have been the main folks praising his capture online.

What is the business of Simon ekpa with the Yorubas, when they didn't raise as much hassle in the hey days of the Fulani menace,even when 3 of their chiefs were killed by the Fulani.

I doubt if the Simon ekpas menace has touched any Yoruba person. Except maybe security officials.

Why do the Yorubas not want to see an independent Biafra but yet always claim that the igbos are a problem to them?

What a tragic irony!

A civil society coalition, Lagos indigenous Youth has said certain unscrupulous individuals, impersonating the coalition has taken to the media to discredit the industrious son of our leader, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

In a press statement signed by Hon. Tunde Azeez Coordinator Coalition of Lagos indigenous Youth said the post making rounds in some section of the media did not originate from members or executives of the Coalition of Lagos Indigenous Youth.

According to him, Mr. Seyi Tinubu is a proud and industrious son of Lagos. 

"We stand firmly in support of him and will back him should he express interest in running for the office of Governor of Lagos.

"We strongly caution the faceless Ibrahim Whyte and his cohorts to cease blackmailing Mr. Seyi Tinubu while falsely impersonating our group.

Hon. Tunde further warned that should this act of defamation and impersonation persist, they will be compelled to take legal action against whoever is behind such evil act.

"It is difficult to believe that in this age and time, some faceless group could desperately discredit the Trailblazzer who at no point discuss Political aspirations with any individual or group in such manner.

"We state categorically that Lagos is home and will remain home for the Mr Seyi Tinubu not just as an indigene but also as a critical player dedicated to helping Young people", the statement added.

Why Many Fails At Parenting.

> Ngozi Orabueze, a staunch loyalist of separatist leader Simon Ekpa, has declared that the sit-at-home observed on Mondays in the Southeast should continue, despite Ekpa’s recent arrest by Finnish authorities.

Orabueze, who identifies herself as the Chief of Staff in the Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE), reaffirmed her support for the controversial protest action. Ekpa, the self-proclaimed Prime Minister of BRGIE, was arrested on charges related to terrorism and violence.

Ekpa has been a vocal advocate for enforcing the sit-at-home protest, purportedly in solidarity with the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu. His social media platforms have frequently featured posts supporting the violent implementation of the action.

Reports indicate that the Nigerian government is seeking Ekpa’s extradition, despite his Finnish citizenship.

In a recent post on X, Orabueze expressed gratitude to the Finnish government for what she described as protecting “our Able Prime Minister, H.E. Simon Ekpa, from the terrorist Nigeria state headed by President Tinubu, Christopher Musa, and Godswill Akpabio.”

She further stated, “As Biafrans all over the world converge in Finland next week for the Biafra Independence Re-Declaration on December 2nd, we wish to inform Biafrans that the Monday Sit-at-home in all Biafraland, voluntarily agreed upon by all Biafrans, must be maintained.”

Orabueze also praised the Biafra Defence Forces for their efforts to “eliminate terrorists wearing Nigeria army and police uniforms in our land.”

She commended Biafrans for raising awareness globally about alleged atrocities committed by the Nigerian government, including what she described as “gross human rights violations, terrorism, forced disappearances of innocent citizens, and the killing of peaceful protesters in Nigeria and Biafraland.”

According to her, Finland had received evidence supporting these claims, which, she said, highlighted violations of international human rights laws by the Nigerian government.

Cinderella Saved The Child But Was Treated As Her Mother By The Child！

A friend in distress! My friend (who'll be responding in the comments) is facing a shocking situation. After ending a 2-year relationship, her ex-boyfriend is now suing her for ₦10m in damages!

The backstory: He paid her house rent and other expenses during their relationship. However, she realized she couldn't continue due to his disrespect, poor communication, and other personal issues. Despite his proposal, she refused to marry him, leading to the breakup.

Now, he's taking her to court, demanding reimbursement for all expenses. Has anyone faced a similar situation? What advice can you offer? Share your thoughts and help my friend navigate this challenging situation!"

Urgent Advice Needed

I remember several years ago, after completing my degree, I was fortunate enough to secure a job. I worked diligently, but my boss at the time disliked me immensely. Every day, there was drama—one issue after another—leaving me extremely stressed about work.

At some point, I was accused of insulting my colleagues—a disaster on top of another disaster. I remember going on my normal leave, as is the right of any employee, only to be informed by my colleagues that someone had been hired to perform my duties while I was away. What a nightmare!

The day I returned to work, I found a new employee sitting at my desk and using my computer. I didn’t know where to sit or what tasks to perform. I ended up spending the whole day on a bench. Eventually, we started sharing the computer I had been using—taking turns to get work done. It was such a struggle!

One day, the assistant to my boss called me aside in a humane manner and told me, "There’s no work for you here. If you can, start applying elsewhere because they’re just waiting for you to make a small mistake to get you fired." I was left in a dilemma.

Then, one day, while caught in city traffic, I was late to work by about ten minutes. My boss immediately wrote to the HR office, saying he was unwilling to continue working with me. One HR officer told me I could either write a resignation letter or wait to be fired. Seeing how messy things had become, I decided to write a one-month resignation letter.

From the day I wrote that letter, my boss stopped following up on me. I kept reporting to work out of defiance until the one month ended, and I was paid my benefits. Life moved on.

The first challenge after leaving work was waking up in the morning and not knowing where to go. You find yourself hating the workplace you left—you don’t even want to pass by it anymore. Former colleagues start distancing themselves, and some even ghost you completely. Neighbors and relatives begin gossiping about you. If you’re not careful, you might fall into depression or even contemplate suicide.

I was able to fight through life without a job, and now I’ve managed to stand strong outside formal employment

Fired Before ? Let’s Share Experiences And Inspire Each Other

Aside from the poor renumeration and incentives, I count it as an Honor to be a Teacher because if people are to understand the real meaning of "Teacher" then, we would do better in our Jobs to groom and nurture these kids. If you teach a child, you've taught a Nation. It is a Noble Profession that has being ridiculed here in Nigeria.
Three days ago, I asked my Boss for a loan of 130k to enable me pay my rent. But he said the amount I'm requesting for is too much and it will take me over four months to repay if 30k is deducted from my 40k monthly salary. He also went further to say that he cannot afford to give me four months salary at once, that what if I get another job and leave or something happens?. I tried to make him understand that while we hope and pray for better job opportunities, I can assure him that even if I have to leave, I will still pay back the loan. He asked that I reduce the amount I'm asking for to 60 or 70k. These amounts can't solve the issue at hand and I don't have any other source to get the rent.
Secondly, he asked that I write a formal letter to that effect and also get a colleague to append his signature as a guarantor/Surety in case I leave. This is the first time I'm asking for a loan.
This is a sch I have sacrificed so much for. Whenever they call me, I answer. Saturdays, Sundays and anyday my services are needed, I'm always eager to avail myself. I've been here for 3years and have been so committed to growing the sch. My landlord has been harassing me, and the psychological effect of this harassment has taken a toll on me. Mentally and emotionally, I have being down. I'm not angry with him cos it's his decision to do whatever he likes with his money. He's a very rich man and federal worker who owns a big sch, so money has never been an issue to him. Times are so hard.

Have you ever wondered which states in the U.S. are the wealthiest? With a massive economy and diverse industries, it’s no surprise that some states consistently dominate the wealth charts. Let’s dive into the top five richest states in America, uncover what makes them economic powerhouses, and why they’re living the American dream.

What Makes a State “Rich”?

Before we jump into the list, let’s clarify what “rich” means in this context. A state’s wealth is typically measured by its Gross Domestic Product (GDP)—the total value of goods and services produced. Other factors, like industry presence, innovation, and overall quality of life, also play a significant role.

> By Chukwudi Akasike

Alhaji Tajudeen Baruwa, who was recently adjudged the President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers by an Appeal Court, speaks to CHUKWUDI AKASIKE about the delay in his reinstatement, among other related issues

How do you feel about the court ruling affirming you as president of the National Union of Road Transport Workers?

Of course, I am happy. There is no way we will not be happy because I believe in justice and Nigerians also believe in justice. I also do not believe in violence because I am a man of peace. That is why you see me going to court over the leadership of the National Union of Road Transport Workers. It (judgment) shows that the masses today can go to court and expect justice to be done to their matters. It is a thing of joy to our members that they can seek justice in the court and get justice.

But those who lost against you in court are also members of the union. Have you reached out to them about your aim to ensure and sustain unity in the NURTW?

To me as a trade unionist, I believe there is no winner and there is no loser. As a journalist interviewing me, you are a member of one union or the other. Being a journalist, I know you can be a unionist. You may not be very active in trade unionism, but you are a member of a union. What I am saying in essence is that every member of the union is our person. It doesn’t matter if a member is part of the union that lost or won, he or she is still a member of the union so far the person follows the dictates of the law governing the union and the country. We are together to achieve great things for the union, and that is what matters most.

Have you reached out to NURTW members to calm them down not take the law into their own hands?

Well, I don’t think that we need to reach out to anybody to calm down. The point is that the people should obey the law. I don’t think there should be any argument about that. Whatever the dictates of the law, you as a citizen have to obey the law. It is when you obey the law that we can now sit down to have one-on-one discussions.

How did you feel in 2023 when it dawned on you that you have been removed as the NURTW president?

I did not feel bad because I always believed in the slogan of the union, ‘The struggle continues’. Again, I can say that I was not removed. They (my opponents) came there with thugs and tried to break all the doors of our office (NURTW national secretariat in Abuja). I had to move out of the place. They cannot come there and say they have removed me; I have my followers, but I told them (my followers) to calm down and that none of them should fight because we are all members of the same union.

I also told my members during the attack by the thugs that they should realise that we all are members of the same union and should not fight. I told them that we should not destroy the union with our actions. So, we allowed them to enter and we left the premises (of the NURTW national secretariat). I applied caution and restrained myself and my followers from fighting back or doing anything against the law.

As the legal battle went on before you eventually got judgment, did you at any point lose hope that victory would come your way?

As a human being, you should know that you must put your hope in Almighty Allah. As far as court cases are concerned, nobody can truly say the outcome until judgment is delivered. You cannot predict what the judiciary will say on any case until judgment is pronounced. You cannot say you are going to win or lose. That is why every man must pray and rely on God. But I knew at some point that I would win because I rely solely on God.

At a point, the crisis rocking the union took a frightening turn when a group of armed thugs invaded the NURTW national secretariat in Abuja and in the process, a security guard was killed. Where do you think the thugs came from? Who were their sponsors?

Everybody knows where the thugs came from. They were brought from Lagos. The sponsor of the thugs is my opponent. He spent almost nine years, and eight months in office as NURTW president and didn’t want to leave the position.

How many years is the president of the NURTW expected to stay in office?

An NURTW president is expected to spend four years, for one tenure, and eight years, for two tenures. My predecessor spent nine years as NURTW president. He completed Gidado’s remaining one year and did four years for two terms, making it nine years.

Why did members of the union not raise the alarm at that time?

When Alhaji Gidado died, Najeem (Yasin) was the deputy president then. So, it was automatic for him (Najeem) to complete Gidado’s tenure. We did not feel bad; we supported him to be there because we didn’t want any crisis in our union.

What triggered the crisis that led to the attack on the union’s national secretariat by thugs?

To me, only the general secretary can explain that to you. You know that I am a career officer. So, those who should answer that question know more than I do about what started the crisis in 2023.

Based on the Appeal Court’s ruling on November 8, Musiliu Akinsanya, also known as MC Oluomo, has been removed as the NURTW president. Why have you not been reinstated as the NURTW president?

You know that the law is a process, and we must follow the due process of the law. You cannot just bring any person and put them there as the union’s president because you have court judgment. Due process has to be followed. We are following due process to ensure that I am reinstated as the NURTW president, and I know MC Oluomo is not above the law; I am also not above the law. So, MC Oluomo cannot say he will not vacate that position.

Has MC Oluomo reached out to you after the judgment?

I will not answer that question directly. I will only tell you that MC Oluomo is very junior to me, and as of today, MC Oluomo is not a member of the union. So, whatever anybody tells you is not correct.

If you are saying he is not a member of the union, how did he get screened, win the election, and become the president of the union?

There was no election. The constitution of the union is very clear. Our election is once in four years, which we did in May and August. You know we are now in November; so, there was no election. You can ask them to tell you who was at the meeting where such a decision (making MC Oluomo the president of the union) was taken. They said they held a meeting, but he (MC Oluomo) is not even a zonal chairman. So, who were the people in the meeting they talked about? Was there any president (of the NURTW) in that meeting?

Are you not afraid that MC Oluomo’s occupation of the position of the union’s president may trigger another round of legal tussle over the leadership of the NURTW?

When somebody is not a member of a union, which court is he going to take me to? If someone is not a union member, you can’t be talking about any legal tussle. Which legal tussle are you talking about? There is no legal tussle or battle anywhere.

MC Oluomo is a strong loyalist of President Bola Tinubu. Are you worried that this may hinder your reinstatement as the president of the NURTW as directed by the court?

I don’t know what you are talking about. All I know is that I am President Bola Tinubu’s son. I am a Yoruba man and a member of the All Progressives Congress. So, everybody in Nigeria today is a son or daughter of President Tinubu. So, MC Oluomo is not the only son or loyalist of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. You and I and other Nigerians are Bola Tinubu’s sons now.

A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has called on the Federal Government to obey the court judgment that affirmed your leadership of the NURTW. Do you think the government has a hand in the crisis rocking the union?

I am not aware of that because there is no information from anywhere to that effect. No one has told me that the Federal Government has a hand in the crisis affecting our union. I only heard the rumour that a top government official had been supporting him (MC Oluomo). That is the rumour that is making the rounds. Up till yesterday (Wednesday), we also heard that this top government official told MC Oluomo that he should not leave office and that nothing will happen. But it is a rumour because I did not hear it from the top government official himself. You know how rumours fly in our union, and when they do not see anything, they will not say it. They must see traces before they can say it out.

Before the court judgment, can you say the relationship between you and MC Oluomo was cordial?

You are taking me back. I said MC Oluomo is my boy. We don’t have issues. He was a member of the union before, but now, he is no longer a member.

What is your view about the government’s interference in the affairs of your union and other unions like the Student Union Government, and market unions?

I am not aware that the government interferes in our union’s affairs. I can only speak for my union (NURTW) and not for other unions, groups, or organisations. In my union’s case, I can only advise the government to let the law take its course. Whoever wins should be allowed to lead, and whoever loses should wait for another election.

When NURTW is mentioned, what immediately comes to mind is thuggery and violence. How do you intend to erase this impression?

We are not in support of violence. That was why when some sponsored thugs came to attack our secretariat, we did not fight them. We in NURTW are not thugs. I am the father of a lawyer; my first daughter is a lawyer, my second daughter is a medical doctor, and I have two or three people in the university now. So, can you call me a thug?

Instead of fighting, I should think of my child, who is a lawyer. She will not be happy that her father is involved in violence. There is no thuggery in our union. Those who fight or get involved in thuggery are not members of our union; they are not drivers. In our union, we don’t fight. Even if we have any misunderstanding as union members, within the next 20 minutes or one hour, that misunderstanding must have been resolved.

What is your message to members of your union?

I will tell all members of the union to be calm. We don’t want any crisis in the union. That was why we went to court to seek redress on the issue concerning the leadership of the union. By the grace of God, I will be in office. So, everybody should be calm.

Top Govt Official Backing MC Oluomo To Take Over NURTW – Baruwa

Numbers 22:22-35
New International Version
22 But God was very angry when he went, and the angel of the Lord stood in the road to oppose him. Balaam was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him. 23 When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road with a drawn sword in his hand, it turned off the road into a field. Balaam beat it to get it back on the road.

24 Then the angel of the Lord stood in a narrow path through the vineyards, with walls on both sides. 25 When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, it pressed close to the wall, crushing Balaam’s foot against it. So he beat the donkey again.

26 Then the angel of the Lord moved on ahead and stood in a narrow place where there was no room to turn, either to the right or to the left. 27 When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, it lay down under Balaam, and he was angry and beat it with his staff. 28 Then the Lord opened the donkey’s mouth, and it said to Balaam, “What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?”

29 Balaam answered the donkey, “You have made a fool of me! If only I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now.”

30 The donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your own donkey, which you have always ridden, to this day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?”

“No,” he said.

31 Then the Lord opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road with his sword drawn. So he bowed low and fell facedown.

32 The angel of the Lord asked him, “Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? I have come here to oppose you because your path is a reckless one before me.[a] 33 The donkey saw me and turned away from me these three times. If it had not turned away, I would certainly have killed you by now, but I would have spared it.”

34 Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, “I have sinned. I did not realize you were standing in the road to oppose me. Now if you are displeased, I will go back.”

35 The angel of the Lord said to Balaam, “Go with the men, but speak only what I tell you.” So Balaam went with Balak’s officials.

Luke 2:1-20
King James Version
2 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.

2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David

5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.

20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
