Matthew 1:18-25 (NIV). [18] “This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. [19] Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. [20] But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. [21] She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” [22] All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: [23] “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). [24] When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. [25] But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.”
“Good News of Great Joy” By In Touch Ministries:
“Through Jesus, we receive eternal life—and divine joy.”
“When an angel of the Lord appeared to the shepherds, he gave them good news of great joy for all people: The long-awaited Savior was born! Then the angel was suddenly “joined by a vast host of others—the armies of heaven—praising God” (Luke 2:13 NLT).
The good news they proclaimed that day had to do with more than just Jesus’ birth. It anticipated His sinless life, which qualified Him to be God’s sacrificial lamb. It looked ahead to His crucifixion and resurrection, which signaled the Father’s acceptance of Christ’s payment for our sins. It also encompassed His future ascension into heaven (Mark 16:19). And it envisioned Pentecost, when the Spirit would indwell believers (Joel 2:28; Acts 2:17), as well as the time Jesus would return as King. The angels rejoiced because salvation was here (2 Corinthians 6:2).
Jesus spoke about joy because He wanted us to experience the satisfaction that comes from a relationship with Him. Such profound contentment isn’t dependent upon outward circumstances; rather, it is the fruit of the Holy Spirit in you.
The angels in heaven rejoiced at the announcement of Jesus’ birth, and the shepherds praised God. Are you experiencing the divine joy that overflows from a Spirit-filled life?”

The Heart of the Matter is, Your. Heart. Matters.
What goes into your heart matters. What comes out of it matters, too. For people who didn’t have EKG’s, cardiologists, or heart hospitals, the ancient Hebrew people were pretty wise about matters of the heart. Solomon in particular seemed to have a deep understanding of the way the heart functions, and his Book of Proverbs is full of references to it. With all of our technology, do you think we…

Matthew 1:18-25 (NLT). “This is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. But before the marriage took place, while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant through the power of the Holy Spirit. Joseph, to whom she was engaged, was a righteous man and did not want to disgrace her publicly, so he decided to break the engagement quietly. As he considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. “Joseph, son of David,” the angel said, “do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit. And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” All of this occurred to fulfill the Lord’s message through his prophet: “Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’” When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded and took Mary as his wife. But he did not have sexual relations with her until her son was born. And Joseph named him Jesus.”
“Support Others” Advent Devotional 18th December - By Words of Hope:
“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel (which means, God with us).” (Matt 1:23)
“The giant sequoia tree is one of the largest tree species in the world, often reaching almost 300 feet tall. However, their roots run very shallow. Sequoias grow in groves, and their roots intertwine, so when strong winds blow, the trees hold each other up. It’s a beautiful picture of mutual support. They can grow that tall because they support each other. 
Mary was called by God to do something incredible, but so was Joseph, who was called to support and protect her. They probably felt isolated, yet they weren’t alone. An angel, a cousin, shepherds, wise men. And of course, more than anyone else, God was with them. “‘They shall call his name Immanuel’ (which means God with us)” (v. 23). When we choose to follow God’s call, we aren’t alone either. One of the treasures of the Christian life is what the New Testament calls koinōnia, which means “fellowship, communion, participation.” I know a lovely older woman who, every week, studies the “Prayer Concerns” page of the Sunday worship bulletin and makes a plan to personally support every person named—a card or a note, a phone call, a visit. She even delivers fresh-baked bread. What a transforming effect this simple ministry has had on the congregation! What could you do to support someone today?
Today’ s Activity: Send a Christmas card to someone who needs your support. You can find a printable card to color at woh.org/AdventCalendar.”

We don't normally focus so much on the character, Joseph, during Christmas. But Joseph’s daring faith in the Lord is commendable. He believed God when He revealed that Mary was chaste, though it may mean a lifetime of ridicule and scorn. That must have been truly challenging. Furthermore, He accepted the Messiah as his own child and raised Him with love. (Matthew 1:18-25). Maybe, you too are facing a challenge? Do you need God’s help to prevail in an overwhelming struggle? Pray for God’s wisdom and strength to help you obey Him in the midst of your struggle. This life is not without challenges, but with Jesus on your side you will always be an overcomer.

CHNT THEORY MASTER POST + EVIDENCE
> only evidence from within the text itself, no patreon spoilers
!! IN HONOUR OF SEASON TWO BEING ANNOUNCED HERE IS A BREAK DOWN OF EVIDENCE AND UNKNOWNS ACROSS SEASON ONE !!
0. background info
1. sydneys death
2. lucille and fire
3. jedidiahs project
to be added to ..?
0. BACKGROUND
- CHNT files exist as evidence for a celestial trial from the agents
- THE LIMN is where camp exists, seemingly a bubble formed around sydney where time and space are distorted.
* the limn impacts memories
- per agent knowledge, camp takes place at site 2 (ranked in most relation to the resurrection/the Limn) and the characters are ranked as entities most thought to be in relation to the limn
- episode 1 takes place approximately 2 and just over a half years after the resurrection (952 days)
- Anomalies are pockets of unreality within the existence of “earth”, seemingly ranked in correlation of proximity to camp (anomaly1 being the bonfire… etc)
- there are two KNOWN types of magic discussed (cthonic and celestial) (cthonic being necromancy, occult and metaphysical, celestial being ‘heavenly’, time and space)
- NOTE: Elijah has cthonic abilities
- Jedidiah APPEARS to have celestial
relations- likely clock of meantime related.
- Matthew is unknown to be an anomaly, human, or aptitude of some kind
- agents exist on a train (implied in file, semi confirmed), which navigates through space and time. agents appear to be celestial guardians responsible for keeping order and preventing universe death
- “in-between” announcement song is heavily train themed,
- the agents are connected to the sanatorium, thought to receive the cassette tapes through this method
- Tony 1 & Tony 2 are the only canon agents we know of currently (agents 15+16)
- Agents appear not to be overly affected by the magic system (not affected in FILE16 + FILE32)
- sun, moon and sky (known celestial bodies) ARE impacted by magic
- AGENT23 Names the files, Agent1 appears to be overseeing the nature of the “trial”. Agents appear to be numbered in correlation to the trial
1. schrödinger’s Sydney
Of Note:
Sydney struggled with hallucinations which went away seemingly after his resurrection (FILE 3) Sydney also lost the ability to astral project post res. his soul is tied down to his body
Sydney has a natural interest in the cthonic, participating in magic and rituals pre-resurrection (FILE 28, FILE 33)
particular emphasis on the fact sydney is safe in camp, he can’t be hurt in camp. leaving camp grounds results in hypoxia (FILE 6)
Sydney mentions his death, seemingly unknowingly, very frequently. Examples include; file 1–> “Most Likely To Get Killed As Consequence Of Reckless Thirst For Forbidden Knowledge”, file 6–> “Like, am I immortal? Am I already dead?”, the infamous file 14–> “ive always wanted to be killed by something that loved me”, file 16 ->sydneys childhood dreams, file 23-> “being a bit paranoid is better than rotting alive”, “necromancy is pointless.. without death you cant live”, file 25-> “constantly tired, constantly afraid, not even allowed to die” when referring to the fox-hunt
Theory: Sydney’s death was via drowning
Sydney is connected to the unknowable shape in the lake (like the journals, anything connected to sydneys death and resurrection seem to impact reality itself to hide it)
Up And Adam reminds Syndey and meets with Sydney in bodies of water. Adam is known to be interested in tormenting Sydney based off his memories
Soren’s rabbit was disposed of in the lake
The lake is associated with decomposition (file 13)
Sydney has always been afraid of the water (file 17)
abandoning a child in a lake huh? thats what motherhood means to you?(file 18)
thoughts: sydneys primary symptoms out of the camp is struggling to breathe (hypoxia)- typically related to drowning. the limn is known to reconstruct/mess with memories to keep its nature hidden, including masking how sydney died. i believe sydneys fear of the water stems not from childhood but from his death. as well, the unknowable object in the lake appears related to sydney
2. who is Lucille
lucille has a large association with fire, including the bon fire and her flame thrower
lucille, sydney and sorren are the only ones to step foot on the death fields (file 4)
lucille lived on camp before sydney (file 34), but the origins of camp are unknown
lucille’s appears to know everything at camp, similar to sydney
with lucilles presence at the camp all year around, just like sydney, and seemingly no mentions of her leaving the camp even for small periods of time,
as we infer Sydney’s soul is connected to the lake, Lucille’s is possibly connected to the bon fire. with her fire imagery and puppet imagery, and the fact she knows everything occurring within camp always, just like sydney when he speaks with the bonfire, i theorize the bonfire is tied to Lucille in some aspect
3. Jedidiah’s Project
the timeline at chnt goes
- Jedidiah has been distant for 6 years ish, Sydney died before becoming a camp counsellor (file 34), there were 4 months where sydney was in the hospital (approx hospitalized june/july?), sydney was resurrected 2.6 years ago since the first episode. jedidiah has been working on his new project for the last year and a half
Jedidiah does not remember how he resurrected Sydney, his memories were contained to his journal
Jedidiah has agent connections, through his clocks, through the tonies and potentially lucille..?
Jedidiahs project is likely black market/illegal, with the fairymarket sigil (file 8). “if you found out what I was working on, you’d die a horrible death” (File 34)
my theory: what jedidiah is working on is likely related to health, life force and energy and necromancy. we know jedidiah was investigating magic for the sake of Sydney’s health pre-resurrection, so why would he stop after sydney has been brought back? what do you do when a machine stops working? you turn it off and on again. my theory is what hes doing is finding a method to cure sydney, to take care of him fully and mold his body into something free of his chronic illness- whether that requires killing him to start over, or not
ANYWAYS THATS ALL FOR NOW!!!
HAPPY CHNT Season 2 soon………..
