The Oldies Got it First.....


There are few people who recognized early this man with a mission. As mentioned in my previous posts, there are His mother, His step father, the group of Animal caretakers and the group of respectable men from far away places. Of course the king who almost killed Him had a hint of His birth. I would like to add few more who were certain that indeed the baby that was born was the Man with the Mission.
One of those was a couple of old age, in fact they knew about Him and His coming ahead of His own mother and step father. The message again came from the strange creature who has been doing the legwork in preparation of His coming. The old woman was the cousin of His mother and the old man, her husband was a religious worker working in their place of worship. the message of the strange creature for the old man was not directly about the Man with the Mission but about their own son who will play a big role in introducing this Man with the Mission to people around their place. For them, the highlight of the news was about them bearing a child in their old age. Hehehehehe, They've been waiting for that for a long time... In their culture, it was a disgrace for couple not to have a child, so, somehow they have been living as a couple ridiculed for a long time for not having a child. But the time has come.... and in their old age!! The old woman got pregnant ahead of her cousin, and one day when the two pregnant women met, the child in the old woman's womb recognized the child in another womb and was jumping and leaping inside the womb. That strange movement of the child was very noticeable as declared by his old mother hehehehe. I wonder how does it feel to have something leaping and jumping inside your womb. So this was the time they knew who is the Man with Mission even if He was not born yet.
Another old man who knew He was the one because he was living a good life and was promised by the Deity that he will see the Man with the Mission before he die. And when the time of the presentation of the child in the house of worship came, the Deity told him to go to and have a glance of the child. Wow!!! this is the moment that he has been waiting for... he did not waste his time and went... The parents the child were surprised with what the old man said.

Another old woman had a privilege to know and see Him as a baby. These old woman has been staying in the house of worship for long, in fact she almost live there. Day and night she was wishing that she could see this Child before she dies. that same moment that the old man saw the child that was also the time that this old woman had a glance of Him.

So these are the early birds, all oldies, what was common among them aside from their ages? We'll I guess was all of them were expecting the coming of this "Man with the Mission" . Where did they get this idea that this man is coming?
