NTEB SUNDAY SERVICE: The Birth Of Jesus In A Stone Manger At Migdal Eder Is What The Bible Has To Say About How It All Actually Happened

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The true story of the birth of Jesus takes place in a stone manger in a part of the city of Bethlehem known as Ephratah, this is Migdal Eder, the tower of the flock!

First of all, the wise men never made it to the birth of the baby Jesus, they got there two years later when He was around two years old, so says Matthew 2:9-11 (KJB). You can take that fairy tale off the table. Next, Jesus was not born in a cow barn or a cave, he was born in the shadow of the Tower of the Flock, or Migdal Eder in Hebrew. This is the exact same place where Benjamin was born, where King David was born, and where the prophets said that the Messiah would come.

“And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.” Micah 4:8 (KJB)

Benjamin was the ‘son of my sorrow’ as well as the ‘son of my right hand’, a beautiful type of Jesus at His First and Second Advent. He was born at Migdal Eder. King David has a throne that King Jesus will sit on during the Millennium, and David was born at Migdal Eder also. Since we know that God loves to do things in three’s, it makes perfect sense that He who is the ‘volume of the book’ would also be born at Migdal Eder in a stone manger as the perfect Lamb of God. Migdal Eder, the Tower of the Flock, is an overlooked and largely unpreached hot spot that sees a ton a prophetical fulfillment. On this Sunday Service, we take you to Migdal Eder to see what the Bible says about the birth of the baby Jesus.

Study Notes For Today’s Sunday Service

In order to understand the location and timing of the birth of the baby Jesus, you have to start where everything else starts in the Bible, back in Genesis. For you see, the birth of Jesus is intimately connected with the birth of Benjamin. Let’s begin with where Jesus was born according to the scripture.

“Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.” Matthew 2:2 (KJB)

Jesus at 2 years old:

“When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.” Matthew 2:9 (KJB)

What a great question! Where is He that is born King of the Jews??? As it turns out, Jesus was born right here:

“But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.” Micah 5:2 (KJB)

Now let’s look at the birth of Benjamin:

“And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour. And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.” Genesis 35:16-21 (KJB)

“And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem” Genesis 48:7 (KJB)

Migdal Eder first appears in Genesis 35:21 and it’s a tower just north of the city of David in Bethlehem, Ephratah to be specific, and it is the place where Jacob buried Rachel after she gave birth to Benjamin. In its earliest days, the tower of Migdal Eder was a military structure, in later years becoming the Tower of the Flock where the Levitical shepherds would inspect the sacrificial lambs.

“And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.” Micah 4:8 (KJB)

By the time of the birth of Jesus, Migdal Eder is the place where the spotless lambs were wrapped in swaddling clothes to be inspected for sacrifice at the Temple in Jerusalem. Inspected by shepherds.

As Rachel lay dying, she desired that her son Benjamin should be called Benoni, which means ‘son of my sorrow’, but Jacob wanted his name to be called Benjamin, which means ‘son of the right hand’, sound like anything you know from scripture? Does not Isaiah 53:3 say that Jesus was a ‘man of sorrows’ and doesn’t Ephesians 1:20 tells us that He is now seated at the ‘right hand’ of God? There’s a lot happening at the birth of Benjamin that absolutely foreshadows the birth of Jesus and the work He will do at the First Advent.

Regarding the birth of the baby Jesus, we see in Luke 2:7 that He was laid in a manger, a stone structure that Levitical shepherds would normally use to inspect the sacrificial lamb. You see, Mary and Joseph were not sent to a first century hotel, and they were not sent simply to a barn, no, the only place that had room was the place where lambs were sacrificed. Migdal Eder. And those swaddling clothes? Why, they were for the lambs to protect them from getting bruised so they could be sacrificed ‘without spot’ according to the Law. Just coincidentally, Jesus is the lamb ‘without spot and blemish’ in 1 Peter 1:19.

“But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.” 1 Peter 1:19-21 (KJB)

Behold, the Lamb!

All through the Bible, salvation and redemption is connected with the shed blood of the Lamb for the forgiveness of sins.

  • “Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.” Genesis 3:21 (KJB)
  • “And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:” Genesis 4:2,4 (KJB)
  • “And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.” Genesis 22:13 (KJB)
  • “He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.” Isaiah 53:7 (KJB)
  • “But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:” 1 Peter 1:19 (KJB)
  • “That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Ephesians 5:27 (KJB)
  • “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” John 1:29 (KJB)
  • “How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” Hebrews 9:14 (KJB)
  • “Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.” Isaiah 16:1 (KJB)

Every step in the life and ministry of Jesus was according to “all the Law” of Moses

“Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.” Matthew 3:13-15 (KJB)

“And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.” Luke 2:39 (KJB)

The events that took place surrounding the birth of Jesus fulfilled the legal requirements according to the Law of Moses, for Jesus to be certified as a “spotless lamb” to be offer as a sacrifice for the sins of many.

O Little Town of Migdal Eder

Bethlehem is called the “City of David” because that’s where David was born, and what was David? A shepherd of sheep! Abel and Moses were shepherds also, Jesus is the Chief Shepherd and the Shepherd of our souls.

David’s Birth:

“Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehemjudah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men for an old man in the days of Saul.” 1 Samuel 17:12 (KJB)

Prophecy of Jesus Birth:

“But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.” Micah 5:2 (KJB)

The Feast of Tabernacles

The birth of Jesus is on or around the time of the Feast of Tabernacles. His return at the Second Advent will be on or around the time of the Feast of Tabernacles. During the Millennium observing that feast day will be mandatory.

“And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.” Zechariah 14:16 (KJB)

In Psalm 19, we read this:

“Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.” Psalm 19:4,5 (KJB)

Jesus announces that He is the Saviour on the Feast of Tabernacles.

“Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.” John 7:14 (KJB)

“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.” John 7:37 (KJB)

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Catholic Nun Kicked To The Ground In Jerusalem As Attacks On Christians And Roman & Orthodox Catholics Rise Across Israel

Attacks On Christians And Catholics Are Rising In Israel As Catholic Nun Is Kicked To The Ground On The Streets Of Jerusalem

To this lost world, there is little to no distinction made between biblically born again Christians and members of cult and fringe groups like the Roman Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witness and Seventh Day Adventists. To them, it’s all the same, it’s all Christianity. So for the sake of our discussion today, we will label all of it as “professing Christianity”. That said, there is a verifiable rise on Christians in Israel at the hands of radical Orthodox Jews, and it grows worse by the day. In our story today, we see a Roman Catholic nun kicked to the ground by Orthodox Jews, and this is just the tip of the end times iceberg.

“As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.” Romans 11:28 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the attacker was not some nameless shadow from a vague “troubled region.” Israeli police arrested a 36-year-old Jewish suspect, and AP reported that the assailant seen in the video was wearing tzitzit, the fringes worn by observant Jewish men. AP also noted that Christian leaders and organizations have been warning of a growing trend of violence and harassment against Christian clergy and pilgrims, often by ultra-Orthodox Jewish youth. There it is. Not rumor, not propaganda, not replacement theology hysteria. A documented pattern. The Rossing Center’s reporting on attacks against Christians in Israel and East Jerusalem says that in known 2024 cases, the perpetrators were Jewish individuals, “primarily young men from ultra-Orthodox and national-religious circles,” driven by a mix of nationalist fervor and religious extremism, especially among ultra-Orthodox nationalist groups. The 2024 report documented 111 incidents, including physical attacks, attacks on church properties, harassment, and defacement, while coverage of the report noted that most victims were clergy or people wearing visible Christian symbols. The Rossing Center’s 2025 report says the harassment and violence are continuing to escalate across Israel and East Jerusalem. Your King James Bible clearly says that this lost world is preparing itself to receive Antichrist in the coming “strong delusion”. Today we bring you everything you need to know about the Jews, Christians, cults and the scripture of truth.

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: From Golden Statues To Passports With His Name And Image, Donald Trump Is Preparing America And The World For Antichrist

America’s 250th Anniversary Trump Passport And Golden Doral Statue Show The Nation Bowing Before Political Image Worship

No American president has ever branded himself across the national consciousness like Donald Trump. Washington didn’t do this, Lincoln didn’t do this, and Reagan did not do this. Donald Trump has fused the presidency with celebrity, merchandise, spectacle, and personal self-exaltation in a way absolutely unprecedented in American presidential history. He has branded himself as the image of America just as Stalin did in Russia and Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany. Tell the Liberals to call off their rallies, they don’t have to worry about Donald Trump becoming a king, he is already a god.

“And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.“ Acts 12:21,22 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, there are moments in a nation’s decline when the symbolism becomes so obvious that it no longer needs interpretation. A golden statue of Donald Trump raising his fist now stands at Trump National Doral, and at nearly the same time, America is preparing limited-edition 250th anniversary passports featuring Trump’s image and gold signature above the name of the United States of America. That is not normal. That isn’t “patriotic branding.” That is the machinery of national identity being slowly bent around the image of one man. Reports say the passport design would mark the first time a living American president has appeared in a U.S. passport, a staggering break with American presidential tradition. The Bible tells us that one of the chief characteristics of Antichrist is not merely political power, but self-exaltation. He is not content to rule; he must be seen, admired, worshipped, and placed above all others. In our Constitutional Republic, the passport belongs to the citizen. The presidency belongs to the office, and the country belongs to the people. But when the ruler’s image is stamped onto the national identity document, when golden statues rise on elite properties, when one man’s name and face become the movement, the product, the brand, and the banner, we are no longer talking about ordinary politics. We are watching a dress rehearsal for the coming image-based worship system of Revelation 13, and we will prove that to you, and much, much more.

Today, we are literally and actually sounding the end times alarm that the Antichrist kingdom is being prepared in Washington DC, and that Donald Trump is the foreunner of the coming Antichrist.

Israel’s Pride Land Festival At The Dead Sea Is A Prophetic Slap In The Face To The God Who Burned Sodom And Gomorrha

There are moments when the Bible believer looks at the headlines and feels like they are watching the pages of Scripture rise up, walk off the page, and rebuke the modern world in real time. Israel’s planned Pride Land LGBTQ+ festival at the Dead Sea in June 2026 is one of those moments. Think about the arrogance of it! The very people, the Jews, to whom “were committed the oracles of God”, the word of God, are now the same people who spit in God’s face promoting what He hates. At NTEB, we have always stood with the Jews, supported the nation of Israel and prayed for the peace of Jerusalem. But that support is not a ‘blank check’, and we absolutely call all Christians everywhere to stand against this ‘Pride Land at the Dead Sea’ abomination. Pray for the salvation of the Jews and Israel.

“But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.” Genesis 13:13 (KJB)

The Dead Sea region is not just a pretty desert backdrop for rainbow flags, DJs, hotel packages and global Pride tourism. It is the biblical landscape associated with Sodom and Gomorrha, a place forever linked in the word of God with rebellion, sexual perversion, divine wrath, and the fire of Almighty God falling from Heaven. The same God who rained brimstone and fire on Sodom is now being openly mocked by a generation that thinks judgment is impossible because they have festivals, branding, sponsors, hashtags and hotel reservations. But God is not mocked.

“Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.” Jude 7 (KJB)

That verse says Sodom and Gomorrha were set forth for an example. An example of what? An example of what happens when a people gives itself over to fornication and strange flesh. An example of what happens when sin is no longer hidden in shame, but paraded in the streets with pride. An example of what happens when man shakes his fist in the face of God and declares evil to be good. And now, in the very region where that example still screams from the pages of your King James Bible, Israel is preparing to host what is being promoted as the Middle East’s largest LGBT festival. That is not progress, that’s a provocation. What the world calls inclusion, God calls abomination.

“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” Leviticus 18:22 (KJB)

Now, you can put a rainbow over it, you can attach tourism dollars to it. You can call it diversity, equality, freedom, love, expression, identity or celebration. But the King James Bible still calls it what it is. Sin. It’s an abomination. And no committee, court, government, sponsor, activist group or religious compromiser has the authority to edit what God has already written.

This is the great deception of our day: sinners no longer want forgiveness, they want affirmation. They no longer want mercy from God, they want applause from man. They do not want the blood of Jesus Christ to cleanse them from sin; they want the world to reclassify sin as virtue. That is why Pride is such a perfect word for the movement. Pride was the original sin of Lucifer, and it remains the chief operating system of a world in rebellion against God. Israel, of all nations, should know better.

This is the land where the prophets preached. This is the land where the Law was given. This is the land where the Son of God walked, preached, healed, was rejected, crucified, buried, and rose again the third day according to the scriptures. This is the land where Jesus Christ will return at the Second Advent to rule and reign from Jerusalem. And yet, in that same land, the spirit of Sodom is being invited in, celebrated, platformed and packaged as a vacation experience. End times insanity.

That is why this story is so spiritually explosive, it shows you the condition of modern Israel: back in the land physically, but still in unbelief spiritually. God has preserved Israel. God has regathered Israel. God has plans for Israel. But modern Israel is not righteous simply because it is Israel. The ‘rightly dividing’ and dispensational Bible believer understands the difference between God’s covenant purposes for Israel and the present spiritual blindness of Israel.

“For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.” Romans 11:25 (KJB)

That blindness is on full display when the land of the prophets becomes a stage for the sins of Sodom. Don’t miss the prophetic irony. The Dead Sea is called dead for a reason. It is a lifeless, salt-choked body of water in a region that stands as a grim reminder of judgment. And now Pride Land wants to transform that barren desert into a “colorful pride city.” Man says, “Look what we can build.” God says, “Remember what I burned.”

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;” Romans 1:18 (KJB)

Romans 1 is not ancient history. It is this morning’s headline. It is the moral map of the last days. When a people rejects the God of the Bible, God gives them up. Then He gives them up again. Then He gives them over. That is not revival. That is judgment already in motion.

“For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:” Romans 1:26 (KJB)

Hey man, that’s not hate speech, so don’t get mad at us for saying it. That is Holy Scripture. The Bible believer doesn’t rejoice in anyone’s destruction. We preach against sin because souls are at stake. The same Bible that condemns sodomy also offers salvation to the sodomite, the fornicator, the drunkard, the idolater, the liar, the thief, the religious hypocrite, and every lost sinner who will come to Jesus Christ by faith.

“And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” 1 Corinthians 6:11 (KJB)

That is the message Pride Land will never preach. Pride says, “Celebrate yourself.” The gospel says, “Deny yourself.” Pride says, “Be who you are.” The gospel says, “Ye must be born again.” Pride says, “No repentance required.” The Bible says without repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ, there is no salvation. Modern Israel needs the same gospel the Gentile nations need. America needs it. Europe needs it. The Middle East needs it. The LGBTQ+ activist needs it. The religious Jew needs it. The Catholic priest needs it. The Baptist preacher needs it. The atheist needs it. Every sinner needs the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

But make no mistake: when Israel hosts a Pride festival by the Dead Sea, it is not a harmless cultural event. It is a prophetic alarm bell. It is Sodom remembered not with trembling, but with celebration. It is the last-days world wrapping itself in a rainbow and daring the God of Heaven to respond. And He will. The first time God judged Sodom with fire from Heaven. The next time, the whole world is headed for the fire of the Day of the Lord after the Church is removed in the Pretribulation Rapture and the time of Jacob’s trouble begins.

“The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.” Joel 2:31 (KJB)

This is why we preach, this is why we warn, this is why we do not soften the edges, trim the verses, or apologize for the Book. The same Bible that tells us what happened to Sodom also tells us what is coming upon a Christ-rejecting world. Pride Land at the Dead Sea is not just crazy. It is a signpost. It is a warning. It is a flashing red light on the prophetic dashboard. The King is coming, but Israel is not even close to ready. But Israel will be made ready in the time of Jacob’s trouble. The gentile nations are not ready. The professing church is asleep. The world is drunk on pride, lust, money, religion, technology and rebellion. But Jesus Christ is ready, and the Bible believer had better be ready too. He is coming soon.
