*****************************
400. 666 - October 30, 2021
This is going to be a long one, so, if you're interested, hang in there.
I was an atheist in my young years, from age 10-24. When I became a Christian, on March 18, 1979, and began going to church and meeting with believers, and attending my first prophecy seminar, in Connecticut, I was reading and studying 8 hours a day in my bedroom, and became so enthralled with Bible prophecy and reading biblical literature, I hardly ever left the room. I was raised Catholic, and saw another side to religious thinking I never realized or understood existed.
Back when I was involved in full-time ministry, doing public seminars and giving private Bible studies in homes, one of the questions most frequently asked was, "What's the mark of the beast?" With it was asked why the number 666 is the mark, is it the bar codes, is it to do with technology, is it to do with witchcraft, and other commonly held misunderstandings that continually float around out there. From advertising, a lot of people knew of my seminars in their area and because they only cared about those questions, they'd show up for a slide presentation I used to do on the history of the number 666. They'd be so blown away I never saw them again. Without any background information covered for weeks before that evening, two and half hours of what I placed before their eyes and ears was shocking enough to cause some people to weep where they sat, or get so angry they'd just get up and walk out.
Once the internet came along and began to get used by more and more people, those questions exponentially increased, and were asked on any and every discussion board or forum that had religious discourse and exchange of ideas.
I recently mentioned Michael Scheifler's Bible Light Homepage, where more information exists on that topic than any other site I know of but, I have not recently checked, either. Another name you might look up is Jim Arribito. Jim put together a slide presentation on the subject of 666. A friend of mine, in Massachusetts, had a tray of those slides and knew I would really like to see them. Those original slides became my first exposure to the lengthy history of the number. I talked with Jim, copied the slides, and began to photograph things everywhere I went, to add to the evidence. I ended up with a presentation of hundreds of slides I presented on 2- 8' screens, and showed that presentation in different states and places over the years. I still have them, and the projectors, and the screens, though I haven't shown the presentation in many years, and I doubt the slides are even usable anymore. I haven't continued, precisely because the web has all the information at the touch of a keyboard. If you look up 'Jim Arribito 666' you'll find hits that will take you to various sites or YT channels where his video presentation is available. It's dated because it was made back in the late 80s but, the information is timeless. Here's one I came upon -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44GX1FKjX9A
Jim passed a way in an Alaskan plane crash, with his two young sons and several other passengers, in 1990. His passing was quite a blow at the time. His vision for getting a unique message out with distinctive evidence was seen as vital back then.
The confusion comes when people have made the mistake of believing the mark and the number are the same thing. That is incorrect. The only verses in the Bible that address the subject state it so plainly, I never understood how such a mistake could be made.
Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
If you just read the verses, it is plain to see there is a "beast," which is symbolism for a power of some kind: an empire, kingdom, nation, etc., and there is a mark of the beast, a name of the beast, and a number applied to a man at the head of the beast power. The number is not the mark. People see the number 666 and immediately think they are seeing something that is a mark of the beast. The number has shown up in quite a few ways over the years; most recently as a number used for a patent on vaccines and a lot number of vaccine production, as well as something Bill Gates is into. I don't take close notice because it's all part of the same misunderstanding and pile of 666 mistakes heaped up over the decades. Some citizens have refused to own the number on their mailbox, or any other numbered item of identification. It creeps them out. It isn't hard to understand why.
If you take things in their order, as they are spoken by the angel speaking to John, you first find out who or what the "beast" is. Big subject. I have already stated what had been the common understanding for centuries among Christians, especially during the Reformation of the 16th century but, it was understood well before that time, and since. If you take all the marks in Daniel, all the marks in Revelation, all the marks in all the other places in Scripture that reference the power of apostasy that would corrupt the church and call forth an exit from it, there is one, and only one power in human history that meets all those dozens of identifying marks: the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church system.
It is the 'Little Horn' power in Daniel, the first Beast of Revelation 13, and both books carry information throughout their pages identifying the power. It is also the Mother of abominations in Revelation 17 and 18. Paul warned of it, Peter warned of it, Jude warned of it, John warned of it, and Christ warned of it in his sermon about last day-events, in Matt. 24:15 and Mark 13:14. It is the great falling away, the apostasy of all ages.
Understanding marks given about ancient Babylon helps to identify modern, spiritual, prophetic Babylon, and why many books have been written on the subject, especially 'The Wine of Roman Babylon,' by Mary Walsh, which can still be found today; and 'The Two Babylons,' by Alexander Hislop, which, as well, is still reproduced today. Many other books exist on the topic, as well, from back in a time when these issues were crucial to the development of the RCC in America in the 19th century. I have mentioned The Great Controversy, by E.G. White. No other book will blow your mind like that one. Foxe's, Book of Martyrs, is another, if you can stomach it. I could never get through it.
I might venture into placing a list of the marks here, at some point but, for now, suffice to say if you want the historic Protestant position on this subject, there is only one answer that can be given from a study of Scripture and history. The Beast is the Roman Catholic Church and its Papacy.
This is not an indictment upon Catholics, by any means. Remember what I mentioned last time - "Come out of her, My people..." Rev 18:4. The RCC and her "daughters" and those of any other faith or no faith, contain God's people, yet to be exposed to truths that shall change their lives forever.
So, the Beast is the RCC and its Papacy. Remember - mark, name, number of a man.
What is the mark of the Beast? First, it's helpful to know the original Greek word for 'mark' is 'charmaga.' The word means a stamp or brand, or etching, or even a carving of some kind, like statues. Well, nobody is going to have a statue put into their foreheads but, symbolically, remember that principle and premise: Revelation is a book of symbols, and they all have meanings. A charmaga could be a stamp used to authenticate authoritative documents. A king takes his ring, presses it into wax or clay and the stamp represents his authority. Want to know what the mark or stamp of the Beast's authority is? It's pretty easy.
First, find out what the seal or stamp, mark, etching of God's authority is. Rev. 7 gives a clue, the opposite of the mark of the beast.
Rev 7:2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
Rev 7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
The Greek word for "seal" in the original? Sphragizo. It's meaning? Another word used to mean a stamp or signet used to attest or authenticate an authoritative declaration or document.
Unlike modern Bibles, the King James Version uses the article "in" the forehead, not on. Huge difference between modern versions that state "on." In the forehead has a much deeper meaning because behind the forehead is the frontal lobes; the seat of critical thinking, reason and decision making. We are talking choices here, not bar codes or tattoos, nor injections from evil drug companies, dangerous as they both are. Thought, reason, decisions of loyalty to God or man is the constant issue in Revelation.
Next stepping stone. Does the Bible give any other info on what the seal of God is? Of course.
Isa 8:16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
The ten commandments are called the testimony of God, the two tables of testimony, written by the finger or hand of God on stone tablets, handed to Moses to be revered and obeyed by the nation of Israel. The law was obeyed by all of God's people before that time, of course, like Abraham, Gen. 26:5, and will always be obeyed by some group of believers on this Earth.
The word 'seal' is found 26 times in the KJV. You may know of the six seals of Revelation. Seals are spoken of, all throughout the Bible. It is used to signify a stamp or image pressed into a lump of wax or clay upon the edge of a scrolled document of authority, to seal it. A nice clue is found in 2 Tim. 2:19 -
"Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity."
Here's another:
Esther 8:8 Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring: for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse.
Seals contained names of those in authority. They contained at least three basic details: the name, the title and the territory of the one in authority. Even the Presidential Seal of the United States contains that information - President - title, United States - territory. Because we elect a president every four years, the name changes but, in ancient times, kings remained in power until death, which could be decades. Seals contained names, and titles and territories to distinguish authority. Does the law of God have a seal within it? It does.
Exo 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exo 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
Exo 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
Exo 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Exodus 20:8-11 contains the fourth commandment. It is the only commandment God tells His people to remember. It is the only one that contains all the elements of an ancient seal.
When you see "LORD" in capitals throughout the Old Testament, you are actually looking at the "tetragrammaton" which is YHWH, or some scholars mark it is YHVH. It is the name of God, and in ancient Hebrew, vowels were not included, the same as many ancient languages. Only consonants were used. Vowel markings began to be developed and carefully inserted for pronunciations of words. In this case many believe God's name is rightfully, Yahweh. Some believe Jehovah or Yehovah, because there is no hard 'J' in the ancient language, nor in many modern languages, where a 'J' might be printed but, the pronunciation is a 'Y.' While there are many takes on the vowels that should be used for God's literal name, the name is in the fourth commandment.
His title is there, as well. The LORD made. He is the Maker, the Creator. His territory? The Earth; the atmosphere, the land, the seas, all of it. In reality, the entire cosmos, the universe. The fourth commandment of the decalogue, the moral law, the standard of righteousness before God and man, is the seal of the living God. The seventh-day Sabbath is the stamp of God upon believers. Why is it placed IN the forehead? Because we are created in Christ Jesus, new creatures, born-again, recreated in God's image to a standard of righteousness and holiness, as we abide in Christ. His decision to save me, forgive me, change me, ready me, as I decide to cooperate with my Creator. "...choose ye this day whom you shall serve... as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
The process of salvation, based on Gods authority, His seal, is a choice. God's choice to save me. My choice to accept the invitation of the process of change: forgiveness, sanctification, and someday, glorification of eternal, immortal life.
The Sabbath is God's mark of authority and claim upon His people.
Exo 31:13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
Exo 31:17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
Exo 31:18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
The Sabbath is a sign, a mark of God's authority and ability to change His people, to impart to them His character. And it was marked, etched in stone by His own hand.
Okay, so, we have God's seal of authority. "I am to be obeyed because I am the Creator. I AM. Remember that."
So, what is the mark, the stamp of authority of the Roman Catholic Church and its Papacy? Guess. Of course. The change of the Sabbath to Sunday, which in their ten commandments is the third commandment. Why? Because they removed the second commandment, on image worship, and split the tenth into two, 9 and 10. Crafty? You may have no idea. The very word is used in Daniel to describe the great apostate power. But, let Rome speak for herself:
"I have repeatedly offered $1,000 to anyone who can prove to me from the Bible alone that I am bound to keep Sunday holy. There is no such law in the Bible. It is a law of the holy Catholic Church, alone. The Bible says, 'Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.' The Catholic Church says: 'No. By my divine power I abolish the Sabbath day and command you to keep holy the first day of the week.' And lo! The entire civilized world bows down in a reverent obedience to the command of the holy Catholic Church." Father Thomas P. Enright, C.S.S.R., lecture at Hartford, Kansas, Feb. 18, 1884.
"Question: How prove you that the Church hath power to command feasts and holy days?
"Answer. By the very act of changing the Sabbath into Sunday, which Protestants allow of, and therefore they fondly contradict themselves, by keeping Sunday strictly, and breaking most other feasts commanded by the same Church.' Daniel Ferres, Manual of Christian Doctrine, pg. 67, 1916.
“You may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify.” James Cardinal Gibbons, Faith of Our Fathers, 92nd ed., pg. 89
Mark that. The 92nd edition. Gibbons was referred to as "America's Pope." He was the Archbishop of Baltimore, and wielded a lot of influence. That influence became the sound of alarm for many Protestants speaking out against the traditions and position of the Papacy against the Constitution of the United States. Didn't know that? I'm not surprised.
“The Catholic Church, … by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday” The Catholic Mirror; the official publication of James Cardinal Gibbons, Sept. 23, 1893.
"Is Saturday the seventh day according to the Bible and the Ten Commandments? I answer, yes. Is Sunday the first day of the week and did the Church change the seventh day - Saturday - for Sunday, the first day? I answer, yes. Did Christ change the day'? I answer, no!"
"Faithfully yours, J. Card. Gibbons"
“Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change was her act... And the act is a mark of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things.” Letter from H.F. Thomas, Chancellor to Cardinal Gibbons, 1895.
"How prove you that the Church hath power to command feasts and holy days?
"By the very act of changing the Sabbath into Sunday, which Protestants allow of, and therefore they fondly contradict themselves, by keeping Sunday strictly, and breaking most other feasts commanded by the same Church.' Henry Tuberville, An Abridgment of the Christian Doctrine, pg. 58, 1833; copied in, A Manual of Christian Doctrine, Daniel Ferres, pg. 67, 1916.
“...the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact.” Catholic Record of London, Ontario, Sept 1, 1923.
"Nowhere in the Bible is it stated that worship should be changed from Saturday to Sunday... Now the Church... instituted, by God's authority, Sunday as the day of worship. This same Church, by the same divine authority, taught the doctrine of Purgatory long before the Bible was made. We have, therefore, the same authority for Purgatory as we have for Sunday." Martin J. Scott, Things Catholics Are Asked About, pg. 136, 1927.
"For example, nowhere in the Bible do we find that Christ or the Apostles ordered that the Sabbath be changed from Saturday to Sunday. We have the commandment of God given to Moses to keep holy the Sabbath day, that is the 7th day of the week, Saturday. Today most Christians keep Sunday because it has been revealed to us by the church outside the Bible." Catholic Virginian, Oct. 3, 1947, p. 9, art. "To Tell You the Truth."
“Protestants do not realize that by observing Sunday, they accept the authority of the spokesperson of the Church, the Pope.” Our Sunday Visitor, February 5, 1950.
"Question: Which is the Sabbath day?
"Answer: Saturday is the Sabbath day.
"Question: Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
"Answer. We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday." Peter Geiermann, C.S.S.R., The Converts Catechism of Catholic Doctrine, pg. 50, 1957
"Regarding the change from the observance of the Jewish Sabbath to the Christian Sunday, I wish to draw your attention to the facts:
"1) That Protestants, who accept the Bible as the only rule of faith and religion, should by all means go back to the observance of the Sabbath. The fact that they do not, but on the contrary observe the Sunday, stultifies them in the eyes of every thinking man.
"2) We Catholics do not accept the Bible as the only rule of faith. Besides the Bible we have the living Church, the authority of the Church, as a rule to guide us. We say, this Church, instituted by Christ to teach and guide man through life, has the right to change the ceremonial laws of the Old Testament and hence, we accept her change of the Sabbath to Sunday. We frankly say, yes, the Church made this change, made this law, as she made many other laws, for instance, the Friday abstinence, the unmarried priesthood, the laws concerning mixed marriages, the regulation of Catholic marriages and a thousand other laws.
"It is always somewhat laughable, to see the Protestant churches, in pulpit and legislation, demand the observance of Sunday, of which there is nothing in their Bible." Peter R. Kraemer, Catholic Church Extension Society, Chicago, Illinois, 1975.
"Of course these two old quotations are exactly correct. The Catholic Church designated Sunday as the day for corporate worship and gets full credit – or blame – for the change." This Rock, The Magazine of Catholic Apologetics and Evangelization, p.8, June 1997 [this statement regarded the accuracy of statements placed here, from the Our Sunday Visitor, quoted above].
Dozens of such statements from the Church of Rome can be placed here and pretty easily found online. I used to put so many up on the screens in seminars, people sat, literally dumfounded. Protestants try to get around all this with some really strange, if not foolish reasoning, and the RCC just puts their backs against the wall, every time, and has, for centuries on this subject. Mother puts her daughters in place, rather spectacularly most of the time.
The name of the Beast, the RCC and its Papacy. The mark of its authority, the change of the seventh-day Sabbath of the fourth commandment of the moral law.
It should be understood that Daniel 7:25 states the Little Horn power "Thinks to change times and laws." It cannot change anything by any authority from God but, she thinks she can, and claims it all. So be it. From her own mouth she condemns herself. Her show of historical success in making tradition stand over Scripture may seem strong but, in the end, God brings her to nothing.
Does all this mean Sunday is the Mark of the Beast, prophetically speaking, in a last-day timeline, now? No. The issue in Revelation, as well as Daniel, is the law of God. The Papacy has no authority to change anything, regardless of what she thinks or gets away with. Now, what if a nation makes a religious law? More clout and circumstance and consequence. There are two beasts in Rev 13. Who or what is the second beast? THAT power is the one that shall make an image to the first beast and create a law that puts Sunday in lockdown mode. The law shall ultimately go planetary and that is when the mark of the beast is the final decision maker for all humanity: God's law or man's law? Which shall we choose? In my study, The United States is the second beast of Revelation 13. While that may seem totally impossible now, wait and see circumstances change in the future. There will be, like was tried in the 19th century, a national Sunday law. The Papacy has been calling for it for well over a century and moving upon Catholics in America to see it done.
That does not mean breaking the Sabbath, the fourth commandment, is just overlooked by Heaven, when people have truth spread out before them. Nay. When light shines, it's time to get in line. We cannot steal, we cannot commit adultery, we cannot take the Lord's name in vain, we cannot bow down to images, we cannot covet our neighbor's goods or wife (or husband, daughter, or son either). If we cannot break those commandments, how is it breaking the Sabbath command, the only one God says to specifically remember, gets a pass from professed Christianity? They do not even try to keep Sunday anymore. They used to, both Catholics and Protestants. These days, it's an hour in church and out the doors to do whatever people want to do. Good luck with that policy when people have to face God. Seriously. "Sin is transgression of the law." All or any of it.
No, Sunday is not yet the prophetic mark of the beast but, it is the historic mark of Roman Catholic supremacy among professed adherents of the Christian faith. That cannot be cast aside.
The number of a man, 666. I certainly do not make this something I would call foundational, to build something upon. No, there is far more information in the Bible and history to show the Beast is the Papacy and the RCC. That said, how does a number fit to the man? First, 7 is the number of days God created for a week. Over 100 languages in the world use a form of 'Sabbath,' for the seventh day, like Sabbado, Ab-sabt, etc. The week is seven days because the Creator made it that way. Come up with a better answer for thousands of years of human history. Why is a week seven days? Because God made it, not man. Of course, some calendars now place Sunday as the seventh day but, as far as the Bible goes, the Bible only names one day of the week; the seventh-day, which we refer to as Saturday, or Saturn's day. God calls it the Sabbath, the Rest day. On the seventh day God rested, blessed and sanctified that day: He separated it, and made it holy. It is special, by design.
On the 6th day man was created. 666; a triple denunciation of man's religion and the authority of man. The number can actually be seen in Roman and other pagan history and you can find plenty of examples of artifacts online. Just because of its placement as it is in the Bible, Satanists obviously love the number but, it predates all of that by millennia. Hey, the Devil has been busy.
There is more, though. The Pope has many titles. Francis took 8 of them. They get pretty involved and complicated. Look them up.
More well known and common titles are Pontifex Maximus, a title borrowed from pagan Rome, obviously. Dux Cleri, Chief, or Leader, Head or Captain of the Clergy. Holy Father, which is something Christ mentions in His denunciations of the religious leader's system of corruption in His day, in Matthew 23:9.
JP2 mentions this in his book, Crossing the Threshold of Hope, 1994. On page 7 we read:
"Returning to your question, I would like to recall the words of Christ together with my first words in St. Peter's Square: "Be not afraid." Have no fear when people call me the "Vicar of Christ," when they say to me "Holy Father," or "Your Holiness," or use titles similar to these, which seem even inimical to the Gospel. Christ himself declared: "Call no one on earth your father; you have but one Father in heaven. Do not be called 'Master'; you have but one master, the Messiah" (Mt 23:9-10).
These expressions, nevertheless, have evolved out of a long tradition, becoming part of common usage. One must not be afraid of these words either."
And there you have the policy that stands against the principle. Rome believes it can change anything; any law, any doctrine, any command, any thing it deems necessary. Their 'living church' creates traditions that supersede the plain statements of the Bible on matters of doctrine and faith.
As a matter of fact, in that first question asked the Pope, in chapter 1, are contained these words:
"Confronted with the Pope, one must make a choice. The leader of the Catholic Church is defined by the faith as the Vicar of Jesus Christ (and is accepted as such by believers). The Pope is considered the man on earth who represents the Son of God, who "takes the place" of the Second Person of the omnipotent God of the Trinity."
Vicarius Filii Dei - Latin for "Vicar of the Son of God." "In place of Christ." Antechristos. She makes it quite simple and easy. Why Protestants, Evangelicals, Fundamentalists, Orthodox churches and others have drifted from this is quite the scandal but, they are, after all, daughters of their Mother, as they carry on her traditions and doctrines. The title can be found in various Catholic documents. I have copies of the Our Sunday Visitor magazine where this matter is taken up, twice, to address this subject and it is plainly admitted the title is one for the Pope. The RCC is not happy with those admissions. She tries to claim no such title ever existed for any pope in any prominent way. History, her own history, foils her, as researchers have discovered over time.
Roman numerals are the counting system of Latin, the language of Rome. V,I,C,U (same as V with a U pronunciation, and can be seen all over the RCC world and ancient Latin/Roman world as well), L and D have corresponding numbers. 5,1,100,50, 500. Add them all up from the Latin title and you get 666. It is the number of a man, the "man of sin," as Paul wrote it, in Second Thessalonians, chapter 2. There is lots of important information in that letter from the apostle. Again, by itself, not a major argument. Added to dozens other identifying marks... it all works together.
And there it is. The Beast, it's name, mark and number. I have yet to see a better understanding on the subject after 42 years of study and research. The hand/glove illustration just fits so easily, I believe it is absolutely the truth. And there is so much more.
Needless to say the RCC fights against this position tooth and nail, and has for hundreds of years. It is a shame, no, a crime, a religious, spiritual crime, the Protestant Reformation, that changed Europe, which its vital principles went into the creation of America, has so waffled from the truth, it now sees the Pope as an ally and friend. Asleep they are, overthrown and destroyed they shall become, in their apostasy from the truth.
666. The authority of man, the claimed authority of a man at the head of a system of faith that is the antithesis of the religion of Christ. He is called Pontifex Maximus; the chief bridge builder; between God and man, Heaven and Earth, even "Purgatory" and Earth, if there was such a wretched place.
Again, remember this - "All the world wondered after the beast." Rev 13:3. Wondered. The Greek word in the original manuscript means admired. All the world admired the beast, the Papacy. Well, JP2 certainly filled that role and his successors have pretty much failed to meet the prominence of his role in world affairs. That is all going to change. Watch.
I'll build on this as time moves along.
He that has eyes to see and ears to hear...
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
I was an atheist in my young years, from age 10-24. When I became a Christian, on March 18, 1979, and began going to church and meeting with believers, and attending my first prophecy seminar, in Connecticut, I was reading and studying 8 hours a day in my bedroom, and became so enthralled with Bible prophecy and reading biblical literature, I hardly ever left the room. I was raised Catholic, and saw another side to religious thinking I never realized or understood existed.
Back when I was involved in full-time ministry, doing public seminars and giving private Bible studies in homes, one of the questions most frequently asked was, "What's the mark of the beast?" With it was asked why the number 666 is the mark, is it the bar codes, is it to do with technology, is it to do with witchcraft, and other commonly held misunderstandings that continually float around out there. From advertising, a lot of people knew of my seminars in their area and because they only cared about those questions, they'd show up for a slide presentation I used to do on the history of the number 666. They'd be so blown away I never saw them again. Without any background information covered for weeks before that evening, two and half hours of what I placed before their eyes and ears was shocking enough to cause some people to weep where they sat, or get so angry they'd just get up and walk out.
Once the internet came along and began to get used by more and more people, those questions exponentially increased, and were asked on any and every discussion board or forum that had religious discourse and exchange of ideas.
I recently mentioned Michael Scheifler's Bible Light Homepage, where more information exists on that topic than any other site I know of but, I have not recently checked, either. Another name you might look up is Jim Arribito. Jim put together a slide presentation on the subject of 666. A friend of mine, in Massachusetts, had a tray of those slides and knew I would really like to see them. Those original slides became my first exposure to the lengthy history of the number. I talked with Jim, copied the slides, and began to photograph things everywhere I went, to add to the evidence. I ended up with a presentation of hundreds of slides I presented on 2- 8' screens, and showed that presentation in different states and places over the years. I still have them, and the projectors, and the screens, though I haven't shown the presentation in many years, and I doubt the slides are even usable anymore. I haven't continued, precisely because the web has all the information at the touch of a keyboard. If you look up 'Jim Arribito 666' you'll find hits that will take you to various sites or YT channels where his video presentation is available. It's dated because it was made back in the late 80s but, the information is timeless. Here's one I came upon -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44GX1FKjX9A
Jim passed a way in an Alaskan plane crash, with his two young sons and several other passengers, in 1990. His passing was quite a blow at the time. His vision for getting a unique message out with distinctive evidence was seen as vital back then.
The confusion comes when people have made the mistake of believing the mark and the number are the same thing. That is incorrect. The only verses in the Bible that address the subject state it so plainly, I never understood how such a mistake could be made.
Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
If you just read the verses, it is plain to see there is a "beast," which is symbolism for a power of some kind: an empire, kingdom, nation, etc., and there is a mark of the beast, a name of the beast, and a number applied to a man at the head of the beast power. The number is not the mark. People see the number 666 and immediately think they are seeing something that is a mark of the beast. The number has shown up in quite a few ways over the years; most recently as a number used for a patent on vaccines and a lot number of vaccine production, as well as something Bill Gates is into. I don't take close notice because it's all part of the same misunderstanding and pile of 666 mistakes heaped up over the decades. Some citizens have refused to own the number on their mailbox, or any other numbered item of identification. It creeps them out. It isn't hard to understand why.
If you take things in their order, as they are spoken by the angel speaking to John, you first find out who or what the "beast" is. Big subject. I have already stated what had been the common understanding for centuries among Christians, especially during the Reformation of the 16th century but, it was understood well before that time, and since. If you take all the marks in Daniel, all the marks in Revelation, all the marks in all the other places in Scripture that reference the power of apostasy that would corrupt the church and call forth an exit from it, there is one, and only one power in human history that meets all those dozens of identifying marks: the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church system.
It is the 'Little Horn' power in Daniel, the first Beast of Revelation 13, and both books carry information throughout their pages identifying the power. It is also the Mother of abominations in Revelation 17 and 18. Paul warned of it, Peter warned of it, Jude warned of it, John warned of it, and Christ warned of it in his sermon about last day-events, in Matt. 24:15 and Mark 13:14. It is the great falling away, the apostasy of all ages.
Understanding marks given about ancient Babylon helps to identify modern, spiritual, prophetic Babylon, and why many books have been written on the subject, especially 'The Wine of Roman Babylon,' by Mary Walsh, which can still be found today; and 'The Two Babylons,' by Alexander Hislop, which, as well, is still reproduced today. Many other books exist on the topic, as well, from back in a time when these issues were crucial to the development of the RCC in America in the 19th century. I have mentioned The Great Controversy, by E.G. White. No other book will blow your mind like that one. Foxe's, Book of Martyrs, is another, if you can stomach it. I could never get through it.
I might venture into placing a list of the marks here, at some point but, for now, suffice to say if you want the historic Protestant position on this subject, there is only one answer that can be given from a study of Scripture and history. The Beast is the Roman Catholic Church and its Papacy.
This is not an indictment upon Catholics, by any means. Remember what I mentioned last time - "Come out of her, My people..." Rev 18:4. The RCC and her "daughters" and those of any other faith or no faith, contain God's people, yet to be exposed to truths that shall change their lives forever.
So, the Beast is the RCC and its Papacy. Remember - mark, name, number of a man.
What is the mark of the Beast? First, it's helpful to know the original Greek word for 'mark' is 'charmaga.' The word means a stamp or brand, or etching, or even a carving of some kind, like statues. Well, nobody is going to have a statue put into their foreheads but, symbolically, remember that principle and premise: Revelation is a book of symbols, and they all have meanings. A charmaga could be a stamp used to authenticate authoritative documents. A king takes his ring, presses it into wax or clay and the stamp represents his authority. Want to know what the mark or stamp of the Beast's authority is? It's pretty easy.
First, find out what the seal or stamp, mark, etching of God's authority is. Rev. 7 gives a clue, the opposite of the mark of the beast.
Rev 7:2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
Rev 7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
The Greek word for "seal" in the original? Sphragizo. It's meaning? Another word used to mean a stamp or signet used to attest or authenticate an authoritative declaration or document.
Unlike modern Bibles, the King James Version uses the article "in" the forehead, not on. Huge difference between modern versions that state "on." In the forehead has a much deeper meaning because behind the forehead is the frontal lobes; the seat of critical thinking, reason and decision making. We are talking choices here, not bar codes or tattoos, nor injections from evil drug companies, dangerous as they both are. Thought, reason, decisions of loyalty to God or man is the constant issue in Revelation.
Next stepping stone. Does the Bible give any other info on what the seal of God is? Of course.
Isa 8:16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
The ten commandments are called the testimony of God, the two tables of testimony, written by the finger or hand of God on stone tablets, handed to Moses to be revered and obeyed by the nation of Israel. The law was obeyed by all of God's people before that time, of course, like Abraham, Gen. 26:5, and will always be obeyed by some group of believers on this Earth.
The word 'seal' is found 26 times in the KJV. You may know of the six seals of Revelation. Seals are spoken of, all throughout the Bible. It is used to signify a stamp or image pressed into a lump of wax or clay upon the edge of a scrolled document of authority, to seal it. A nice clue is found in 2 Tim. 2:19 -
"Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity."
Here's another:
Esther 8:8 Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring: for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse.
Seals contained names of those in authority. They contained at least three basic details: the name, the title and the territory of the one in authority. Even the Presidential Seal of the United States contains that information - President - title, United States - territory. Because we elect a president every four years, the name changes but, in ancient times, kings remained in power until death, which could be decades. Seals contained names, and titles and territories to distinguish authority. Does the law of God have a seal within it? It does.
Exo 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exo 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
Exo 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
Exo 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Exodus 20:8-11 contains the fourth commandment. It is the only commandment God tells His people to remember. It is the only one that contains all the elements of an ancient seal.
When you see "LORD" in capitals throughout the Old Testament, you are actually looking at the "tetragrammaton" which is YHWH, or some scholars mark it is YHVH. It is the name of God, and in ancient Hebrew, vowels were not included, the same as many ancient languages. Only consonants were used. Vowel markings began to be developed and carefully inserted for pronunciations of words. In this case many believe God's name is rightfully, Yahweh. Some believe Jehovah or Yehovah, because there is no hard 'J' in the ancient language, nor in many modern languages, where a 'J' might be printed but, the pronunciation is a 'Y.' While there are many takes on the vowels that should be used for God's literal name, the name is in the fourth commandment.
His title is there, as well. The LORD made. He is the Maker, the Creator. His territory? The Earth; the atmosphere, the land, the seas, all of it. In reality, the entire cosmos, the universe. The fourth commandment of the decalogue, the moral law, the standard of righteousness before God and man, is the seal of the living God. The seventh-day Sabbath is the stamp of God upon believers. Why is it placed IN the forehead? Because we are created in Christ Jesus, new creatures, born-again, recreated in God's image to a standard of righteousness and holiness, as we abide in Christ. His decision to save me, forgive me, change me, ready me, as I decide to cooperate with my Creator. "...choose ye this day whom you shall serve... as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
The process of salvation, based on Gods authority, His seal, is a choice. God's choice to save me. My choice to accept the invitation of the process of change: forgiveness, sanctification, and someday, glorification of eternal, immortal life.
The Sabbath is God's mark of authority and claim upon His people.
Exo 31:13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
Exo 31:17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
Exo 31:18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
The Sabbath is a sign, a mark of God's authority and ability to change His people, to impart to them His character. And it was marked, etched in stone by His own hand.
Okay, so, we have God's seal of authority. "I am to be obeyed because I am the Creator. I AM. Remember that."
So, what is the mark, the stamp of authority of the Roman Catholic Church and its Papacy? Guess. Of course. The change of the Sabbath to Sunday, which in their ten commandments is the third commandment. Why? Because they removed the second commandment, on image worship, and split the tenth into two, 9 and 10. Crafty? You may have no idea. The very word is used in Daniel to describe the great apostate power. But, let Rome speak for herself:
"I have repeatedly offered $1,000 to anyone who can prove to me from the Bible alone that I am bound to keep Sunday holy. There is no such law in the Bible. It is a law of the holy Catholic Church, alone. The Bible says, 'Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.' The Catholic Church says: 'No. By my divine power I abolish the Sabbath day and command you to keep holy the first day of the week.' And lo! The entire civilized world bows down in a reverent obedience to the command of the holy Catholic Church." Father Thomas P. Enright, C.S.S.R., lecture at Hartford, Kansas, Feb. 18, 1884.
"Question: How prove you that the Church hath power to command feasts and holy days?
"Answer. By the very act of changing the Sabbath into Sunday, which Protestants allow of, and therefore they fondly contradict themselves, by keeping Sunday strictly, and breaking most other feasts commanded by the same Church.' Daniel Ferres, Manual of Christian Doctrine, pg. 67, 1916.
“You may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify.” James Cardinal Gibbons, Faith of Our Fathers, 92nd ed., pg. 89
Mark that. The 92nd edition. Gibbons was referred to as "America's Pope." He was the Archbishop of Baltimore, and wielded a lot of influence. That influence became the sound of alarm for many Protestants speaking out against the traditions and position of the Papacy against the Constitution of the United States. Didn't know that? I'm not surprised.
“The Catholic Church, … by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday” The Catholic Mirror; the official publication of James Cardinal Gibbons, Sept. 23, 1893.
"Is Saturday the seventh day according to the Bible and the Ten Commandments? I answer, yes. Is Sunday the first day of the week and did the Church change the seventh day - Saturday - for Sunday, the first day? I answer, yes. Did Christ change the day'? I answer, no!"
"Faithfully yours, J. Card. Gibbons"
“Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change was her act... And the act is a mark of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things.” Letter from H.F. Thomas, Chancellor to Cardinal Gibbons, 1895.
"How prove you that the Church hath power to command feasts and holy days?
"By the very act of changing the Sabbath into Sunday, which Protestants allow of, and therefore they fondly contradict themselves, by keeping Sunday strictly, and breaking most other feasts commanded by the same Church.' Henry Tuberville, An Abridgment of the Christian Doctrine, pg. 58, 1833; copied in, A Manual of Christian Doctrine, Daniel Ferres, pg. 67, 1916.
“...the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact.” Catholic Record of London, Ontario, Sept 1, 1923.
"Nowhere in the Bible is it stated that worship should be changed from Saturday to Sunday... Now the Church... instituted, by God's authority, Sunday as the day of worship. This same Church, by the same divine authority, taught the doctrine of Purgatory long before the Bible was made. We have, therefore, the same authority for Purgatory as we have for Sunday." Martin J. Scott, Things Catholics Are Asked About, pg. 136, 1927.
"For example, nowhere in the Bible do we find that Christ or the Apostles ordered that the Sabbath be changed from Saturday to Sunday. We have the commandment of God given to Moses to keep holy the Sabbath day, that is the 7th day of the week, Saturday. Today most Christians keep Sunday because it has been revealed to us by the church outside the Bible." Catholic Virginian, Oct. 3, 1947, p. 9, art. "To Tell You the Truth."
“Protestants do not realize that by observing Sunday, they accept the authority of the spokesperson of the Church, the Pope.” Our Sunday Visitor, February 5, 1950.
"Question: Which is the Sabbath day?
"Answer: Saturday is the Sabbath day.
"Question: Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
"Answer. We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday." Peter Geiermann, C.S.S.R., The Converts Catechism of Catholic Doctrine, pg. 50, 1957
"Regarding the change from the observance of the Jewish Sabbath to the Christian Sunday, I wish to draw your attention to the facts:
"1) That Protestants, who accept the Bible as the only rule of faith and religion, should by all means go back to the observance of the Sabbath. The fact that they do not, but on the contrary observe the Sunday, stultifies them in the eyes of every thinking man.
"2) We Catholics do not accept the Bible as the only rule of faith. Besides the Bible we have the living Church, the authority of the Church, as a rule to guide us. We say, this Church, instituted by Christ to teach and guide man through life, has the right to change the ceremonial laws of the Old Testament and hence, we accept her change of the Sabbath to Sunday. We frankly say, yes, the Church made this change, made this law, as she made many other laws, for instance, the Friday abstinence, the unmarried priesthood, the laws concerning mixed marriages, the regulation of Catholic marriages and a thousand other laws.
"It is always somewhat laughable, to see the Protestant churches, in pulpit and legislation, demand the observance of Sunday, of which there is nothing in their Bible." Peter R. Kraemer, Catholic Church Extension Society, Chicago, Illinois, 1975.
"Of course these two old quotations are exactly correct. The Catholic Church designated Sunday as the day for corporate worship and gets full credit – or blame – for the change." This Rock, The Magazine of Catholic Apologetics and Evangelization, p.8, June 1997 [this statement regarded the accuracy of statements placed here, from the Our Sunday Visitor, quoted above].
Dozens of such statements from the Church of Rome can be placed here and pretty easily found online. I used to put so many up on the screens in seminars, people sat, literally dumfounded. Protestants try to get around all this with some really strange, if not foolish reasoning, and the RCC just puts their backs against the wall, every time, and has, for centuries on this subject. Mother puts her daughters in place, rather spectacularly most of the time.
The name of the Beast, the RCC and its Papacy. The mark of its authority, the change of the seventh-day Sabbath of the fourth commandment of the moral law.
It should be understood that Daniel 7:25 states the Little Horn power "Thinks to change times and laws." It cannot change anything by any authority from God but, she thinks she can, and claims it all. So be it. From her own mouth she condemns herself. Her show of historical success in making tradition stand over Scripture may seem strong but, in the end, God brings her to nothing.
Does all this mean Sunday is the Mark of the Beast, prophetically speaking, in a last-day timeline, now? No. The issue in Revelation, as well as Daniel, is the law of God. The Papacy has no authority to change anything, regardless of what she thinks or gets away with. Now, what if a nation makes a religious law? More clout and circumstance and consequence. There are two beasts in Rev 13. Who or what is the second beast? THAT power is the one that shall make an image to the first beast and create a law that puts Sunday in lockdown mode. The law shall ultimately go planetary and that is when the mark of the beast is the final decision maker for all humanity: God's law or man's law? Which shall we choose? In my study, The United States is the second beast of Revelation 13. While that may seem totally impossible now, wait and see circumstances change in the future. There will be, like was tried in the 19th century, a national Sunday law. The Papacy has been calling for it for well over a century and moving upon Catholics in America to see it done.
That does not mean breaking the Sabbath, the fourth commandment, is just overlooked by Heaven, when people have truth spread out before them. Nay. When light shines, it's time to get in line. We cannot steal, we cannot commit adultery, we cannot take the Lord's name in vain, we cannot bow down to images, we cannot covet our neighbor's goods or wife (or husband, daughter, or son either). If we cannot break those commandments, how is it breaking the Sabbath command, the only one God says to specifically remember, gets a pass from professed Christianity? They do not even try to keep Sunday anymore. They used to, both Catholics and Protestants. These days, it's an hour in church and out the doors to do whatever people want to do. Good luck with that policy when people have to face God. Seriously. "Sin is transgression of the law." All or any of it.
No, Sunday is not yet the prophetic mark of the beast but, it is the historic mark of Roman Catholic supremacy among professed adherents of the Christian faith. That cannot be cast aside.
The number of a man, 666. I certainly do not make this something I would call foundational, to build something upon. No, there is far more information in the Bible and history to show the Beast is the Papacy and the RCC. That said, how does a number fit to the man? First, 7 is the number of days God created for a week. Over 100 languages in the world use a form of 'Sabbath,' for the seventh day, like Sabbado, Ab-sabt, etc. The week is seven days because the Creator made it that way. Come up with a better answer for thousands of years of human history. Why is a week seven days? Because God made it, not man. Of course, some calendars now place Sunday as the seventh day but, as far as the Bible goes, the Bible only names one day of the week; the seventh-day, which we refer to as Saturday, or Saturn's day. God calls it the Sabbath, the Rest day. On the seventh day God rested, blessed and sanctified that day: He separated it, and made it holy. It is special, by design.
On the 6th day man was created. 666; a triple denunciation of man's religion and the authority of man. The number can actually be seen in Roman and other pagan history and you can find plenty of examples of artifacts online. Just because of its placement as it is in the Bible, Satanists obviously love the number but, it predates all of that by millennia. Hey, the Devil has been busy.
There is more, though. The Pope has many titles. Francis took 8 of them. They get pretty involved and complicated. Look them up.
More well known and common titles are Pontifex Maximus, a title borrowed from pagan Rome, obviously. Dux Cleri, Chief, or Leader, Head or Captain of the Clergy. Holy Father, which is something Christ mentions in His denunciations of the religious leader's system of corruption in His day, in Matthew 23:9.
JP2 mentions this in his book, Crossing the Threshold of Hope, 1994. On page 7 we read:
"Returning to your question, I would like to recall the words of Christ together with my first words in St. Peter's Square: "Be not afraid." Have no fear when people call me the "Vicar of Christ," when they say to me "Holy Father," or "Your Holiness," or use titles similar to these, which seem even inimical to the Gospel. Christ himself declared: "Call no one on earth your father; you have but one Father in heaven. Do not be called 'Master'; you have but one master, the Messiah" (Mt 23:9-10).
These expressions, nevertheless, have evolved out of a long tradition, becoming part of common usage. One must not be afraid of these words either."
And there you have the policy that stands against the principle. Rome believes it can change anything; any law, any doctrine, any command, any thing it deems necessary. Their 'living church' creates traditions that supersede the plain statements of the Bible on matters of doctrine and faith.
As a matter of fact, in that first question asked the Pope, in chapter 1, are contained these words:
"Confronted with the Pope, one must make a choice. The leader of the Catholic Church is defined by the faith as the Vicar of Jesus Christ (and is accepted as such by believers). The Pope is considered the man on earth who represents the Son of God, who "takes the place" of the Second Person of the omnipotent God of the Trinity."
Vicarius Filii Dei - Latin for "Vicar of the Son of God." "In place of Christ." Antechristos. She makes it quite simple and easy. Why Protestants, Evangelicals, Fundamentalists, Orthodox churches and others have drifted from this is quite the scandal but, they are, after all, daughters of their Mother, as they carry on her traditions and doctrines. The title can be found in various Catholic documents. I have copies of the Our Sunday Visitor magazine where this matter is taken up, twice, to address this subject and it is plainly admitted the title is one for the Pope. The RCC is not happy with those admissions. She tries to claim no such title ever existed for any pope in any prominent way. History, her own history, foils her, as researchers have discovered over time.
Roman numerals are the counting system of Latin, the language of Rome. V,I,C,U (same as V with a U pronunciation, and can be seen all over the RCC world and ancient Latin/Roman world as well), L and D have corresponding numbers. 5,1,100,50, 500. Add them all up from the Latin title and you get 666. It is the number of a man, the "man of sin," as Paul wrote it, in Second Thessalonians, chapter 2. There is lots of important information in that letter from the apostle. Again, by itself, not a major argument. Added to dozens other identifying marks... it all works together.
And there it is. The Beast, it's name, mark and number. I have yet to see a better understanding on the subject after 42 years of study and research. The hand/glove illustration just fits so easily, I believe it is absolutely the truth. And there is so much more.
Needless to say the RCC fights against this position tooth and nail, and has for hundreds of years. It is a shame, no, a crime, a religious, spiritual crime, the Protestant Reformation, that changed Europe, which its vital principles went into the creation of America, has so waffled from the truth, it now sees the Pope as an ally and friend. Asleep they are, overthrown and destroyed they shall become, in their apostasy from the truth.
666. The authority of man, the claimed authority of a man at the head of a system of faith that is the antithesis of the religion of Christ. He is called Pontifex Maximus; the chief bridge builder; between God and man, Heaven and Earth, even "Purgatory" and Earth, if there was such a wretched place.
Again, remember this - "All the world wondered after the beast." Rev 13:3. Wondered. The Greek word in the original manuscript means admired. All the world admired the beast, the Papacy. Well, JP2 certainly filled that role and his successors have pretty much failed to meet the prominence of his role in world affairs. That is all going to change. Watch.
I'll build on this as time moves along.
He that has eyes to see and ears to hear...
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Smart phones, smart appliances, smart dirt?
"We have the technology."
You might not be old enough to remember the TV program, The Six Million Dollar Man. Lee Majors played the hero. Basically a bionic half man/half bot reality of technology. A spin-off, The Bionic Woman, with Lindsay Wagner, came next. That was at the beginning of Hollywood's real rollout of TV education for what would come. The percentages of imagination vs. reality in all these programs and movies as they were released, maybe no one really knows but, I have to believe at least a fair percentage of reality was infused into them. Star Trek... nobody is going to experience getting "beamed up" anytime soon or be diagnosed by a Tricorder but, in the next decade or two? We must keep in mind knowledge exponentially increases with each passing year.
We all know nano-technology exists, and this virus event has brought to light a horror movie of nano-stuff in the Pharma-fluids they are calling "vaccines." MILLIONS of people know it now and if anything should be on the docket of the Justice Department and Congress to investigate, there it is but, the JD and Congress are now far too corrupt, far too owned by special interests to do much of anything to protect American citizens. That has become so blatantly obvious the smell of victory in the nostrils of the Chinese wafts to them like the aromas out of an oriental restaurant at lunch hour.
Technology on such small scales seems impossible to produce but, it's done, and is done so well, Dr. James Tour and his teams, have come up with bots that can actually heal the broken spines of mice! Taking that to the level of human spinal injuries is a worthy cause, if ever there was one. Tour recently spoke to Congress about the benefits of Graphene Bots. I have mentioned Dr. Tour on this blog because of his field of knowledge regarding organic chemistry. Watching him speak on the subject as it regards abiogenesis is not only informative but, almost entertaining. The man is a firebrand when it comes to that subject.
Dr. Tour made a video about the Virus that I could not watch because it just went against everything I have read and now seen that this is a manufactured, nano-bioweapon, and coupled with the prescribed "vaccines," will work to potentially harm the immune systems and organs and blood of every person who has taken them, over time. Some, instantly, or hours, or days, weeks, or months and others it may take years. Maybe those who only took one injection will escape truly serious issues. Time will tell on that but, hundreds of millions of people, a couple billion, have been injected, and have materials in them that shall harm them in some way, at some point.
I now share a link to an article that is telling us "smart dirt" to produce "smart food" has been invented. Dirt, ground, that has been sprayed with nanobots, that will infuse into food supplies, nay, that the food, itself, will be sprayed with these particles, and the entire civilized world will have nano-particles, "nano-entities," replicating inside them that can be controlled: via satellites, cell towers, any agency that can put the proper frequencies out there, to turn things on and off. Yeah, tell me about it. Evil on this level is off the charts. And it is all being put out there as a great way to detect toxins in the food supply. It is all for our health, you see. There needs to be better words to describe such diabolical intentions. Satanic is all that is left, and Satanic seems too weak to describe such people and such activity and movements.
This Plandemic has been, just one part of a series of intended ventures by elite totalitarians, to literally control planet Earth, and at this point, tell me, aside from God, who or what can stop them?

So... see anything familiar? The underlined portions of what nanoentities are, have been found in the various "vaccine" vials investigated by researchers around the world!!!
We have seen the recent articles, and I posted one on this blog, of how "vaccines" will be introduced into the food supply.
Here's an article that breaks down what these nanoentities are, and to expect to begin to see these abbreviations on food labels soon:
https://shepherdsheart.life/blogs/news/10-secret-things-you-didnt-know-about-nano-entities
Like many people, I have been exposed to "conspiracy theories" about a coming controlled, dystopian society seen for years through various Hollywood productions and books, like George Orwell's '1984;' basically prepping the populace for such a series of events to pull it all together. The Plandemic is just a part of a possible, potential conspiracy, if not probable and definite, for the wealthiest and most powerful people on the planet to do, now, what a lack of technology could not afford them to pull off in previous decades. Now, it is here. Everything necessary, is here. Control the narrative, the flow of information, as you dumb-down society through entertainment, the education of children and youth, and keep things constantly chaotic to create a river of mis and disinformation; buy-off those you need, outright buy and own any and all companies needed to produce the infrastructure, weaken societal resolve year by year, and at some point, you take control. It is all possible, if not probable, and those who believe such a thing could never actually happen are living in another era where such a thing could not and would not happen in America. But, we now have a world economy. We now exist in a literal web of world-wide connections, where loyalty to flags and constitutions and laws are nowhere near as important as money and power. Patriotism is so low on the scale, over 500 American patriots languish in a D.C. jail, most for just being on the steps of the Capitol building, or inside, just looking around, taking video and pictures, while the Attorney General and despotic Democrats and Republicans call these people "terrorists." Parents are now "terrorists." So, in my mind this is all not a theory. This is all conspiracy truth, now. All of it. Technology fires, technology weather, technology illness and technology 'cures,' technology food, technology buying and selling, technological life... there is NOTHING that seems too elaborate to believe anymore. Nothing.
"We have the technology."
God help us.

402. Jesse Watters Recaps Everything - Oct 31, 2021
I don't have cable, don't watch cable news, and every once in a awhile, if something catches my eye in the YT sidebar, I may watch a Carlson, or Ingraham monologue about something. I know who Jesse Watters is but, I haven't watched any of his monologues.
You know my position: If God does not step in and do something to stop the marching Marxists bent on destroying our Republic, America is lost. I'm going to add to that in this blog.
Watters did a monologue, posted yesterday. I happened to be watching something else, which finished, and YT threw up the next video at the top of the sidebar, in its automatic loading sequence, which I normally turn off. The video is titled 'Watters Exposes Corruption in Washington.' DUH. Talk about late to the party. I will say this, though. That brief monologue is so jampacked with info and examples, it is one of the best quick inspections of D.C. corruption I believe I have seen. There's nothing new in it. It's a collection of what we know and how the MSM and Washington establishment do absolutely nothing to stop it but, just hide it all.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUupTMljhyA
What really struck me was Watters' final words:
"Blatant corruption is staring us right in the face. Are your eyes open, yet?"
Well, I'm older, and my eyes got opened in the 80s and 90s, as a result of really paying attention to things, to see what was affecting prophetic events in America and around the world. Even more so in '09, when I discovered the nature of major problems with the official story of what happened on 9/11. At that point there was little more sleep to awake from, as to the corruption in D.C. It just keeps getting more outrageously open and pompous, and sickening.
If you are not awake yet, you are comatose. If you are awake... yeah, so, now what? Watters will just say, "Hey, all I can do is report the news and vote." Uh, huh. That is what they all say. At least Carlson has put together a documentary on the lies that have gone into the government response of what took place on January 6th, and the Leftists are having cows over it, and it isn't even released yet. I think the first episode airs tomorrow night. The Marxists are doing the same, saying the same about Carlson, exactly the same as they did about Trump and those patriots who took a stand for truth, freedom, liberty, and election integrity at the Capitol on 1/6. It is word for word the same type of ugly, hypocritical, empty rhetoric.
I go back to Watters' final words; "Are your eyes open yet?" As good as the short monologue is, it is meaningless. He's preaching to a choir that was awake to it all before he got on FOX. Now, Jesse. Tell us what Americans are supposed to do about it, as you refrained from getting into the election steal, the current Fauci/Pharma cabal to maim and kill people, happening by the hundreds of thousands, just in America, and the coming transhumanistic takeover of people through the food supply! No, no. You can't report on that stuff. That's too Alex Jones-type news, FOX would never go near. Carlson getting into UFOs is out there enough for them.
So, let's say we are all awake, Jesse. All people who love the principles of Americanism; they love freedom, liberty, American Judeo/Christian culture, proper education for our children and grandchildren, actual, decent, healthy food to eat, free and honest elections, protected borders, real criminal justice, a strong military and economy and all the rest. Now what? Everything that makes America, America, is under attack. Now what? Never do these talking heads offer any counsel on what to do, what can be done, and how to do it. They would never advocate for civil disobedience. They'll report on it but, frankly, Mr. Watters, your attitude is offensive to patriotic Americans standing up against tyranny, while you pundits do nothing. It's junk food for news junkies. That's all you feed anybody.
At least when Bush tried to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants, Ingraham, Rush, Hannity and others said to burn the D.C. phone lines down, melt them with protest, and it happened, and the amnesty push went dead in the water. Today, talking heads in professed Conservatism do nothing but, show us how corrupt everything is. We know that already! And once everybody that can awake, does...
Then what?
Cheers to all those in America, in all those professions, who are standing up, walking out, speaking out, protesting, marching, and demanding tyrannical mandates cease. More power to you, and may millions join you.
If Leftists are afraid, good. Government leaders; elected civil servants, and all leaders in the fabric of American society should have a healthy respect and fear of a united American citizenry. They should definitely fear an awakened refreshment of patriotism, and principled acknowledgement of corruption among their elected civil SERVANTS. Do the job, according to law, or get out. No more wannabe kings and queens. No more disregard of the Constitution, no more telling Americans, illegals can have more than citizens, no more of any of it. Straighten out or get the hell out. Americans in every single suspicious precinct in America, mostly Leftist run cities and states, should line the walls and closely watch what is happening, in shifts, and record anything that even projects a whiff if impropriety, as voting proceeds. They should remain as polls close and counting proceeds, and everything MUST be completed by morning, not days later. Every single ballot should be inspected, and use as many people as necessary. Any ballot not meeting lawful requirements gets tossed, period. Otherwise, there will never be another honest election in America again.
What will happen on Nov. 2, in Virginia? Does anybody expect it to be an election controlled by integrity if people are not watching everything like hawks? Does anyone honestly think McAuliffe and his minions will not do anything and everything to steal this election like 2020 was so easily pulled off? Seriously? Criminals addicted to power and getting away with things, actually gambling and risking, will never stop, unless they are stopped by citizens. If the media is stating the race is neck and neck, know factually Youngkin is ahead. That's a no-brainer. If McAuliffe wins, an instant protest from Youngkin should take place, and call for close inspection of every element of voting procedures. There is no way around it, if nobody in D.C. or the states, will actually stand up and meet the needs of the rule of law. "Eternal vigilance." That is the remedy for all Americans.
I feel odd writing this because I do not get involved with politics, I don't generally vote. I have believed it has been crooked for decades of my adult life but, this attack on the Republic, if not stopped, means America is lost, and nobody benefits from that, except the elitists and their club of political criminals and others bent on taking away inalienable rights granted Americans by God, and turning the nation into China, literally.
And yet, I still ask: if we are all awake, can anything really be done by citizens to save the United Sates of America?
Honestly, I'm still looking to secession. That is the only practical thing that can be done but, that's pretty much a non-issue in D.C. because Republicrats enjoy their club.
So, once again, it finally comes down to God. God must run an intervention. I hope He does.
You know my position: If God does not step in and do something to stop the marching Marxists bent on destroying our Republic, America is lost. I'm going to add to that in this blog.

403. It Doesn't Get Anymore Powerful Than This - November 1, 2021
Christine Anderson is an alternative member of the European Parliament, from Germany. She took a public and impassioned stand against the entire medical/political cabal, stating it as powerfully as it can be done.
https://twitter.com/SikhForTruth/status/1454093966715019282
Recently, Laura Ingraham had a monologue I watched, seeing it in the sidebar on YT, "Where Have All The Men Gone?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jan2QRtEtkk
I asked the same question months ago, watching female doctors come forward, in a seemingly absence of male doctors, up to that point, taking a stand against the entire medical cabal. It has been that way for a long time. The most boisterous members of the House, both parties, are women. What has happened?
One of the most powerful proponents of freedom and liberty in the German Parliament is Alice Weidel. She turns the place upside down when she speaks. This is not an endorsement, just an observation. She is a Conservative, the media constantly calling her a far right extremist, obviously but, even without knowledge of German, watching her speak and reading a translation can bring goosebumps to your flesh, if you are someone who loves passionate stance for common sense principles and the rule of law. Angela Merkel cannot hold a candle to this bright light.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAddVTKrpdQ
In France, Marine Le Pen and her niece, Marion Marechal, are firebrands for Conservative principles, speaking out against the Socialization and Islamization of their country.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkn6R4tUzl0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2A3vAnuCbE
Women entered politics a long time ago, and history has had its queens, both good and evil. The Bible has plenty of strong female characters in its history of the Israelites. Nothing new here.
I just have to admit, while I am a believer in God's order for humanity, "do not allow women to usurp authority over men," right now, there do not seem to be men actually standing up for anything in American politics and civil service. Some names stand out, like Rand Paul but, other names, always in the news, talk a good game but, really don't do anything to cause upheaval of the D.C. applecart and motivate change.
The Democrat Party has its AOC led "Squad." The GOP... not so much. Boepert and MTG get in the news. The GOP apparently has a "Force" of freshman members that rarely make it into the news. Of course, the AOC squad will always be in the Leftist run news, by default.
Regardless of what anyone thinks of women in politics or positions of authority, the question, Where have all the men gone?, remains an important and instigative one, especially now.

I just have to admit, while I am a believer in God's order for humanity, "do not allow women to usurp authority over men," right now, there do not seem to be men actually standing up for anything in American politics and civil service. Some names stand out, like Rand Paul but, other names, always in the news, talk a good game but, really don't do anything to cause upheaval of the D.C. applecart and motivate change.
The Democrat Party has its AOC led "Squad." The GOP... not so much. Boepert and MTG get in the news. The GOP apparently has a "Force" of freshman members that rarely make it into the news. Of course, the AOC squad will always be in the Leftist run news, by default.
Regardless of what anyone thinks of women in politics or positions of authority, the question, Where have all the men gone?, remains an important and instigative one, especially now.

404. Okay, Back to Drums - November 2, 2021
I think I have really reached a point where I see, I literally see the divide in this world between those with common sense and those without it. It does not matter which subject is on the table. Critical thinking, logic, common sense, is either employed or non-existent, regardless of the issue.
Someone sent me an email this morning about a new law in Philadelphia taking away traffic signs and stops because they are racist. ?!?! You cannot make this stuff up.
I was replying to a comment on my YT channel and saw a video in the sidebar I thought I'd check out. It was a Nashville drummer comparing Ludwig drum sets. He mentions he does Country and R&R gigs and recordings. In his opening comments he mentioned how different these Ludwig sets sound. Now, bear in mind, this is a comparison video about drums, specifically shells, and how they affect sound; in this case the shell materials and the bearing edges, is what he wanted to emphasize. Then, as if it has no bearing on the comparison, at all, he tells viewers the sizes of the drums are different, the bass drum muffling is different, and the heads on the kits are different. ???
I see this over and over and over in such videos, even videos from drum shops that do comparison videos. "We used these heads because..." and they proceed to tell us how the low end was changed, or whatever.
The very essence of a comparison is to make as many things in the comparison as equal as possible. In the case of comparing drums: same sizes, same heads, same room, same mics and if mounting and lugs and hoops are significantly different, so be it but, they have to be mentioned as artifacts that can make a difference in final results.
I have shown bearing edges do not make significant differences that can be ascertained in any dramatic way when it comes to playing a full set of drums with cymbals and all, especially in the context of a band. Just listening to drums-only shows so little tonal variation it staggers the mind how the subject of bearing edges could have possibly become as big as it is. Add in the live sound system or studio equipment, and everything becomes a matter of electronics. Whatever acoustic properties a drum might have, can be so manipulated and morphed, the same sized drum from every category, from every company on the planet will make, literally no major differences live or on a recording.
It is amazing to see the number of young players asking what to do to get such and such, from so and so's bass drum sound, and then find out an edrum patch was used to augment the recording. Next to nothing you hear on a recording, I'll even go so far as to say nothing of the drum set's acoustic properties are the final thing you hear on a recording, with the possible exception of drums on a Jazz recording but, even then, things are manipulated by just mics, reverb, compression, and final mastering. All of that is an artform, in and of itself.
Go back into the 1950s and you'll hear drums sounding like whatever drum set was used and heard in the studio. Even back then, before all the electronic wizardry came along; microphones affect tone, rooms affect tone, and player sticks and touch affect tone, and obviously stereo systems affect tone and human ears affect tone, person to person. The variables are many.
At least, as a standard, legitimate comparison, if one wants it to be real, make all things equal, as much as possible, or no such "comparison" is made, as far as what drum shells may do to sound.
Would drummer's themselves, consider a test of speed between vehicles legitimate, if a truck was placed next to a dragster, just because they had the same engines in them? If you want to say engines affect speed, you put different engines in the exact same model vehicles.
"All things being equal." That is the bottom line for comparing anything, including drums. When it comes to comparing the proclaimed affects of drum shells - Same sizes, same heads, same hoops, same mounting, same mics, same positions, same room, same recording equipment, same player, same sticks.

405. A Tribute to Gene Krupa, by Steve Dunfey - November 2, 2021
I just read this at the Not So Modern Drummer website and just felt the urge to place it here because it is just so well put together and the closing quote from comedian/musician Steve Allen is golden.
https://www.notsomoderndrummer.com/not-so-modern-drummer/2021/8/23/a-tribute-to-gene-krupa
I had Gene on my mind because I saw a video this morning, at YT, of a performance by Gene and his band on the Ed Sullivan Show. Man, it is pure Gene all the way, and the band sounded great. That video is at the top of the page of the tribute article, which is an added bonus.
When I was young, Buddy was on tv a lot more, and I just gravitated to him, and he became a great influence upon me, even if I couldn't understand five percent of what he was doing or his band was playing. I never saw much of Gene, and didn't listen to Jazz, aside from Buddy's Big Band albums I had, and the revered, Rich vs. Roach album. Then I saw The Gene Krupa Story, 1959, with Sal Mineo in the title role, and a whole new world opened up. Gene had drums in his heart and he played with a lot of soul and spirit. Gene was just, plain cool.
Here's the tribute:
Gene Krupa: A TributeAugust 31, 2021 admin
by Steve Dunfey
On January 17, 1909, legendary jazz drummer Gene Krupa was born on the South Side of Chicago. On what would have been his 85th birthday this year (1994), drummers should celebrate the notoriety Krupa brought to drums and drumming. As the late jazz writer George Frazier put it, "He helped create a new culture. Never again would the drums know the obscurity of being a purely rhythm instrument.
Many drummers are already aware of the "firsts" that Krupa brought to drumming. He was the first drummer to be recorded with a bass drum—despite the fears of recording engineers—with McKenzie & Condon's Chicagoans in 1927. Krupa was also the first to popularize the extended drum solo, through his recording of "Sing, Sing, Sing" with the Benny Goodman Orchestra in1937. And he was the first jazz musician to become a matinee idol, appearing in over twenty feature films.
But what is most notable about Krupa's career was his consistent, lifelong enthusiasm and love for the drums. As Louie Bellson says, "The Lord gives us all something special. He gave a certain thing to Buddy Rich, a certain thing to Jo Jones, and he gave to Gene that wonderful quality of showmanship. Now, that doesn't take away from his playing; he was a great, solid player too. But there was something about him when he got behind a set of drums. You could put twenty other drummers on stage with Gene and your eyes would go right to him. His stature behind a set of drums, his love for the drums, and the way he approached the instrument just made him stick out above other people.
Krupa once told author Burt Korall, "I'm a child of vaudeville. The first thing you have to do is get their attention." Korall goes on to say, "Expressiveness was his primary concern; the showmanship merely was a means of holding the audience until his musicality became apparent to those who came to see and hear him play. Krupa had a profound effect on his fans. He met you on your own level. An affable, gentle man, he made you part of his music. Krupa loved music deeply and lived his passion through his drums."
Krupa's flair for showmanship brought a visual excitement to what was an already exciting sound. As author Bruce Crowther says, "His handsome, overwrought, gesticulating presence—both onstage and onscreen—changed beyond recognition the role of the jazz drummer and provided a lasting visual image of the swing era." As to the sound of Krupa's drums, his Chicago musical cohort, guitarist Eddie Condon, said, "Krupa's drums went through us like a triple bourbon."
Burt Korall identifies the essentials of that sound: "Krupa's snare drum sound was central to the character of his work. Crisp, clean, with a suggestion of echo, it enhanced the excitement of his performances. While playing 'time' or patterns across the set, Krupa also established engaging relationships between the bass drum and the other drums, and between the cymbals and the drums. He used rudiments in a natural, swinging, often original way."
And he had chops. Bellson says, "I would say that Gene was a great influence on every drummer. He brought drums to the foreground. Before his time, it was, 'Oh well, we've got 17 musicians and a drummer.' When he came into the picture, drums became a solo instrument. He added that great integrity to the drum section. When you see a drum soloist, even today, Gene is responsible for that."
Krupa, in his own words, made the drummer "a high-priced guy". With his charisma and popularity, he turned his respect and study of Black drummers like Baby Dodds, Zutty Singleton, and Chick Webb into an acceptance of jazz drumming by a broad listening public. It could be said that Krupa appropriated the style of these innovative Black drummers in the same way that Benny Goodman popularized Fletcher Henderson's arrangements and Elvis Presley appropriated the styles of Black rhythm and blues artists. In doing so, he brought a respectability to drums and drumming that extends to today's contemporary drummers.
According to Burt Korall, "Krupa struck a balance between instinct, the roots of jazz, and a scientific approach to drumming." The language came directly from Chick Webb. But Krupa formalized, simplified, and clarified it. Krupa thrust the drum-set into the foreground, making it not only a source of rhythm but of musicality and color as well. Before Krupa, only the great Black drummers had so powerfully mingled these key elements.
As authors Richard Cook and Milford Graves put it, "Krupa's impact on the jazz rhythm section is incalculable." Though Black percussionists who had worked for years in the shadow of the front men had some cause to be resentful, Krupa's respectful investigation of the African and Afro-American drumming tradition was of tremendous significance, opening the way for later figures as diverse as Max Roach, Elvin Jones, Andrew Cyrille, and Milford Graves.
Krupa was passionate about racial matters on and off the band-stand. While leading his own orchestra in the 1940s he made trumpet great Roy Eldridge the first Black musician to play as a section man with a white orchestra. On one occasion, Krupa used his fists to subdue the operator of a York, Pennsylvania restaurant who made "unfair and ungentlemanly" remarks towards Eldridge and then asked him to leave. For his statement on integration Krupa was arrested, jailed, fined ten dollars, and released.
In 1946, Krupa was one of the first swing band leaders to embrace the bop movement, hiring Gerry Mulligan as an arranger and bop instrumentalists like trumpeter Red Rodney. Up to that point, Krupa was not very cymbal-oriented. But he began to use the ride cymbal to keep time and lightened up somewhat with the four beats on the bass drum—using it to drop bombs behind the ensemble and soloists. As drummer Mel Lewis puts it, "He reached a midpoint between swing and bop and made what he did work."
Jazz historian Gunther Schuller describes Krupa's career this way: "In his commitment to real jazz—even in its more advanced bop manifestation—Krupa, with his fame, brought first-rate jazz to untold numbers of listeners who otherwise never would have had contact with it. He and his bands consistently aspired to the best and could always be relied upon to play with high discipline, enthusiasm, and an exuberant swing. Given the vagaries of the commercial world in which jazz has always had to fight for its survival, this was no small achievement. Krupa's commitment to jazz was sincere and unassailable. He was even more of a jazz fan than his thousands of admirers, with an almost childlike, inexhaustible enthusiasm for the music and a clear appreciation of that which was genuine. His relation to jazz was primarily emotional and instinctual—uncomplicated. He loved the spontaneous energy of jazz—and supplied a great deal of it in his drumming—and he thrived on that rhythmic feeling that separates jazz (in this case in the form of swing music) from most other forms of music."
From his early recordings with the Austin High School Gang in Chicago to his underrated small-group recordings of the '50s,'60s, and '70s, Krupa always played with an exciting emotional intensity. Even after suffering from heart attacks, emphysema, leukemia, and ruptured spinal discs, Gene's intensity still comes across on his final, 1972 recording "Jazz At The New School"—a Chicago-style romp with Eddie Condon and Wild Bill Davison. That he could play at all with these ailments—and just a year before his death from leukemia—is a testament to his personal courage. That he brought down the house as if it were Carnegie Hall in 1938 is indicative of the enduring power of his personality and his drumming. As Burt Korall says, "Krupa's playing on this recording goes beyond individuality. The drummer sums himself up for us; he consolidates his image for the last time on record. He leaves behind a vivid memory—of swing, charm, facility, and authority."
As comedian Steve Allen says, "Had Gene Krupa never been born, I doubt whether drums would be played the way they are today or if contemporary drummers would be as respected and recognized as they are. I'll always remember him not only as a jazz innovator and contributor, but as the true definition of a gentleman, and as a very special friend." So, may we all.

The Last UPDATE
The reason this is going to be my last UPDATE on the Covid situation is because there is only one of two ways this goes, no surprises, either way. Either new information gathered by independent investigation sources put the nails in the box and shuts this down, or nothing will stop it, and the entire world is a deep trouble.
Fauci is finally being turned on, although one of the big newspapers is actually looking into the group that exposed Fauci and company's Beagle experiments. Expose evil, get investigated by evil. No surprises there.
While people are waiting to see if Fairfax County, VA will attempt another steal operation in the ongoing VA election, new information comes forward that my own suspicions were proved correct: the injection fluids, otherwise known as "vaccines," are not all sent out as one. Different lots from the manufacturers have shown to be more deadly than others, and spread out across American regions. Some locations showing more adverse reactions and deaths, than others. The only thing these instances have in common are manufacturing lot numbers.
It seems the information is now exposed and on the table, that this is not a manufacturing, quality control issue but, a planned, enforced or mitigated experiment to see how things go with various batches. Bare in mind; the FDA did not approve anything but, what was released to the public in the EUA (Emergency Use Authorization). People have been receiving shots of what is on the shelves, not clinically approved fluids by standard procedures and tests. That would not take place until the shelves are empty of the early roll-out fluids, and even Walensky, head of the CDC, stated the early roll-out may show more adverse reactions that later versions.
What makes this all worse is that Congress apparently approved of a change of definition for vaccines, just months before the exposure of Covid-19 in the states, to include the mRNA version. The issue is now, who knew and when did they know it.
This continues to show evidence to be a medical murder event, filled with wicked leaders and wicked and/or ignorant followers.
Put it all together with the "nanoentities" planned for dispersal into soils and food, described the same as weird stuff discovered in the vials of vaccines, some obvious, and others, like those Dr. Fleming researched and found only impurities and toxins enabling blood deoxygenation, and the whole event becomes clear. An enormous, well-planned medical experiment for serious nefarious purposes, rolled out in waves so nothing would seem too out in the open and obvious. It was all kept covert, by plan, and the larger list of players will develop as time moves along, especially as children suffer serious adverse effects and parents become enraged.
The horses are out of the barn. If this is not stopped, by the weight of the evidence, and righteous indignation towards the perpetrators, the world can know the Great Reset is going forward, and death beyond imagination is coming.
https://basedunderground.com/2021/11/03/jab-roulette-some-covid-vaccine-lots-found-to-be-far-deadlier-than-others/
That story is going viral on many platforms today. Many other, so many other stories are out there, literally hour by hour, showing this event is the biggest, most nefarious and diabolical happening in the history of medicine and governments against mankind.
On another front...
Looking at the view count since I posted the blog on 666, people are not too happy with my take on the subject. I always found that interesting because some power, some entity has to be the Beast and own the number 666 for a man at the top of its food chain. If I stated Islam was the Beast, and some Mullah or intended Caliph the man of sin, professed Christians would be fine but, Muslims would be ticked off. If I stated China was the Beast... well, at that point hardly anybody but, the CCP and their minions around the world would be upset. You see my point, though. It would be impossible NOT to offend some group of people with the truth.
Because I want people to decide things on the weight of the evidence, I'm going to put a blog together that lays out, point by point from Daniel and Revelation why the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church is the only power in the history of the world that can possibly be the great power of apostasy, lies and deception God warns the world of.
Stay tuned.
Fauci is finally being turned on, although one of the big newspapers is actually looking into the group that exposed Fauci and company's Beagle experiments. Expose evil, get investigated by evil. No surprises there.

That story is going viral on many platforms today. Many other, so many other stories are out there, literally hour by hour, showing this event is the biggest, most nefarious and diabolical happening in the history of medicine and governments against mankind.
On another front...
Looking at the view count since I posted the blog on 666, people are not too happy with my take on the subject. I always found that interesting because some power, some entity has to be the Beast and own the number 666 for a man at the top of its food chain. If I stated Islam was the Beast, and some Mullah or intended Caliph the man of sin, professed Christians would be fine but, Muslims would be ticked off. If I stated China was the Beast... well, at that point hardly anybody but, the CCP and their minions around the world would be upset. You see my point, though. It would be impossible NOT to offend some group of people with the truth.
Because I want people to decide things on the weight of the evidence, I'm going to put a blog together that lays out, point by point from Daniel and Revelation why the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church is the only power in the history of the world that can possibly be the great power of apostasy, lies and deception God warns the world of.
Stay tuned.

406. Is Putin Really The Enemy? - November 3, 2021
Some years ago a friend began to point to speeches Vladimir Putin was making. In reading them, it became obvious that man is not what the Main Stream Press and most voices on Conservative talk-radio make him out to be.
By the time Trump got into office, and began addressing needs for he and Putin to get together and make a better world, the MSM and voices in talk-radio, began to rev up the angst and dangerous nature of Putin. 'Hope' was a word that actually had some bite to it. Why were they stating such wrong things about Putin, if one just went by what the man was consistently stating? I admit to having my doubts but, the more I read Putin's speeches, the more American, and Conservative American he seemed, than most "Americans" in politics; certainly on the Democrat side, at least, and frankly, sounded more American and certainly more Conservative than most of the GOP.
He made a recent speech at the Valdai Discussion Club; a Russian think-tank forum on Russian and global matters. Here's a link to the full transcript:
https://valdaiclub.com/events/posts/articles/vladimir-putin-meets-with-members-of-the-valdai-discussion-club-transcript-of-the-18th-plenary-session/
Putin mentioned the United States numerous times, in varying ways and contexts, both pro and con. He began by mentioning China and the wisdom of its people. A strong nod to where he sees the world going if the West does not get its act together. But, you see, the West is now saturated with Marxism and Progressivism which he stated Russia had already been through, at the hands of Bolsheviks. He stated the same thing is happening to the West and the U.S. in particular, and warning; to continue down this path will destroy this nation.
I can guarantee you, if my father heard this speech it would have dropped his jaw.
I'm placing here a portion of the speech:
"We look in amazement at the processes underway in the countries which have been traditionally looked at as the standard-bearers of progress. Of course, the social and cultural shocks that are taking place in the United States and Western Europe are none of our business; we are keeping out of this. Some people in the West believe that an aggressive elimination of entire pages from their own history, “reverse discrimination” against the majority in the interests of a minority, and the demand to give up the traditional notions of mother, father, family and even gender, they believe that all of these are the mileposts on the path towards social renewal.
Listen, I would like to point out once again that they have a right to do this, we are keeping out of this. But we would like to ask them to keep out of our business as well. We have a different viewpoint, at least the overwhelming majority of Russian society – it would be more correct to put it this way – has a different opinion on this matter. We believe that we must rely on our own spiritual values, our historical tradition and the culture of our multiethnic nation.
The advocates of so-called ‘social progress’ believe they are introducing humanity to some kind of a new and better consciousness. Godspeed, hoist the flags as we say, go right ahead. The only thing that I want to say now is that their prescriptions are not new at all. It may come as a surprise to some people, but Russia has been there already. After the 1917 revolution, the Bolsheviks, relying on the dogmas of Marx and Engels, also said that they would change existing ways and customs and not just political and economic ones, but the very notion of human morality and the foundations of a healthy society. The destruction of age-old values, religion and relations between people, up to and including the total rejection of family (we had that, too), encouragement to inform on loved ones – all this was proclaimed progress and, by the way, was widely supported around the world back then and was quite fashionable, same as today. By the way, the Bolsheviks were absolutely intolerant of opinions other than theirs.
This, I believe, should call to mind some of what we are witnessing now. Looking at what is happening in a number of Western countries, we are amazed to see the domestic practices, which we, fortunately, have left, I hope, in the distant past. The fight for equality and against discrimination has turned into aggressive dogmatism bordering on absurdity, when the works of the great authors of the past – such as Shakespeare – are no longer taught at schools or universities, because their ideas are believed to be backward. The classics are declared backward and ignorant of the importance of gender or race. In Hollywood memos are distributed about proper storytelling and how many characters of what color or gender should be in a movie. This is even worse than the agitprop department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
Countering acts of racism is a necessary and noble cause, but the new ‘cancel culture’ has turned it into ‘reverse discrimination’ that is, reverse racism. The obsessive emphasis on race is further dividing people, when the real fighters for civil rights dreamed precisely about erasing differences and refusing to divide people by skin colour. I specifically asked my colleagues to find the following quote from Martin Luther King: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by their character.” This is the true value. However, things are turning out differently there. By the way, the absolute majority of Russian people do not think that the colour of a person's skin or their gender is an important matter. Each of us is a human being. This is what matters.
In a number of Western countries, the debate over men’s and women’s rights has turned into a perfect phantasmagoria. Look, beware of going where the Bolsheviks once planned to go – not only communalising chickens, but also communalising women. One more step and you will be there.
Zealots of these new approaches even go so far as to want to abolish these concepts altogether. Anyone who dares mention that men and women actually exist, which is a biological fact, risk being ostracized. “Parent number one” and “parent number two,” “'birthing parent” instead of “mother,” and “human milk” replacing “breastmilk” because it might upset the people who are unsure about their own gender. I repeat, this is nothing new; in the 1920s, the so-called Soviet Kulturtraegers also invented some newspeak believing they were creating a new consciousness and changing values that way. And, as I have already said, they made such a mess it still makes one shudder at times.
Not to mention some truly monstrous things when children are taught from an early age that a boy can easily become a girl and vice versa. That is, the teachers actually impose on them a choice we all supposedly have. They do so while shutting the parents out of the process and forcing the child to make decisions that can upend their entire life. They do not even bother to consult with child psychologists – is a child at this age even capable of making a decision of this kind? Calling a spade a spade, this verges on a crime against humanity, and it is being done in the name and under the banner of progress.
Well, if someone likes this, let them do it. I have already mentioned that, in shaping our approaches, we will be guided by a healthy conservatism. That was a few years ago, when passions on the international arena were not yet running as high as they are now, although, of course, we can say that clouds were gathering even then. Now, when the world is going through a structural disruption, the importance of reasonable conservatism as the foundation for a political course has skyrocketed – precisely because of the multiplying risks and dangers, and the fragility of the reality around us.
This conservative approach is not about an ignorant traditionalism, a fear of change or a restraining game, much less about withdrawing into our own shell. It is primarily about reliance on a time-tested tradition, the preservation and growth of the population, a realistic assessment of oneself and others, a precise alignment of priorities, a correlation of necessity and possibility, a prudent formulation of goals, and a fundamental rejection of extremism as a method. And frankly, in the impending period of global reconstruction, which may take quite long, with its final design being uncertain, moderate conservatism is the most reasonable line of conduct, as far as I see it. It will inevitably change at some point, but so far, do no harm – the guiding principle in medicine – seems to be the most rational one. Noli nocere, as they say.
Again, for us in Russia, these are not some speculative postulates, but lessons from our difficult and sometimes tragic history. The cost of ill-conceived social experiments is sometimes beyond estimation. Such actions can destroy not only the material, but also the spiritual foundations of human existence, leaving behind moral wreckage where nothing can be built to replace it for a long time.""
The leader of Russia gave that speech? No wonder the main stream press makes such an enemy of Putin and Russia. They are the new Bolsheviks. Putin made it clear as day. Marxist Progressives are the enemy of traditional culture, which has held the world together for thousands of years and any nation or empire that veered from it, fell and was vanquished by lesser powers that took advantage of the festering weakness.
It was tragic Trump did not have the fortitude to stick out his original attempts to partner with Putin to make a better world. Putin obviously still has the fortitude to plant his feet in a Conservatism Trump, himself, did not engage or take in. Had he done so, in true sincerity and conviction, I'd imagine he'd still be in the White House.

407. Meaningless - November 4, 2021
Someone sent me an email of a good speech a citizen gave, before some committee, about mandates. She quoted from the Declaration of Independence, she put together her words and wrote them down and recited them well. She got some facts incorrect, and that made her speech meaningless to the people sitting in front of her. To those sitting behind her, she got applauded. Of course, at this stage of this event and this game, it would have been meaningless, even if the woman got her facts straight.
In Tuesday's election, in New Jersey, the GOP challenger to Democrat Gov. Murphy, was ahead and could claim a county that got 100% of it's votes counted. It was ultimately declared a victory for Murphy, when 40,000 votes appeared overnight in that same county. The New Jersey election became meaningless.
If you say the GOP did well in Virginia, Fairfax county, the state's largest, is bypassing state law and said it will be counting votes until Friday. Predicting what will happen seems pointless, accept to say, that race is meaningless. At the very least it may be meaningless, if Democrats are allowed to flagrantly violate its own laws of election procedures.
In Minnesota, one county found over 20,000 votes corrupted by one thing or another from last year's election. Thousands of votes were cast, all from the same address. Fraud. Biden "won" the state by 20k votes. No, Trump won the state. Now what?
In every state that audits their vote counts, discrepancies are found, meaningful discrepancies but, the results are meaningless. They show what everybody already knew a year ago. If nothing is done, audits are meaningless. The Joe Biden demolition show will destroy America; and every speech, every rally, every news article, every pundit, and every politician basically standing alone in a desert of corruption crying out against that political corruption all around them, is all meaningless if those who took an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic, do not adhere to their oaths of office.
It seems plausible to fight for every ounce and inch of honesty and integrity you can advance. That is the patriotic thing to do. But, few are willing to state, if the voting system is not protected from fraud and corruption, if the courts are overseen by corrupt, activist judges...
I do not mean to be a defeatist. I just want someone, I require someone to inform me how the corruption can be overturned, when the system to overturn corruption has been corrupted and government - elected civil servants in power - have stated point blank they are not going to do anything to challenge the 2020 election results. Everybody KNOWS it was stolen from tens of millions of Americans who voted for the winner, who is still out there speaking at rallies telling his supporters the last election was stolen from him, and 500 people who protested that corrupt fraud are sitting in a jail, having horror stories to tell about the treatment they have received, and the smashing of due process they are owed, by law, and nobody is doing anything about it. To the contrary, Congress held hearing s to prove these people are insurrectionists, in yet another dog and pony show, incredibly revolting display of not just partisan politics but, absurdity times a thousand. Tucker Carlson has released his three-part series on what took place on January 6th, and while I have not seen it, I'm going out on a short limb and state it is pretty much meaningless. Everybody already knows that event was no insurrection.
I am a realist. I try to live by truth, by facts, by data, by the weight of evidence. If someone told me, if I practice hard every day I will get as fast as Gergo Borlai, I know that is not true, with no facts, or data, or weight of evidence to back that up. It's just that simple. If I practice 3 hours a day I will reach my speed potential, which I reached when I was younger, when I used to practice more than 3 hours a day but, just telling me, based on some hope, if I practice hard, at 66 years old, I'll get as fast as the fastest players on Earth, is a fool's errand. There are physical facts that cannot be overcome.
If 330,000,000 people in America, stood in their streets and said, We want all 2020 election votes audited, that might seem pretty powerful but, it's a toothless junkyard dog. The very system put in place to change traitors for patriots in Washington, in the states, is corrupted. Those in power and control are telling Americans to go pound sand. What next? I ask again, what next?
More and more it is becoming plain to me, the biblical days of Noah, the description of the population of the planet then, matches the scenario now, with more and more accuracy. Yes, people are trying to do the righteous thing, in protesting. Do not forget, last year's vote was the same shellacking of Democrats, and somehow, in the dead of night, Democrats gained control of the House and Presidency. The FBI did nothing. No alphabet agency did anything. No legislature did anything. Actually, the facts show they pushed against things being checked out, as they continue to do now.
If all states did audits and found the problems, the fraud, the criminal actions, and it shows Trump won the election handily, then what? By the time the courts address it all, all the way to SCOTUS, Biden's term will be done, and another election takes place, and the same result shall rare its ugly head all over again. Systemic corruption, is systemic corruption.
Hundreds of thousands of jobs might be saved as people stand up and say NO to mandates, and force businesses to drop mandates because everything will crash if they don't. Yet, more businesses are declaring injection mandates. This is not over by a long shot. That's the private sector. The public sector does not seem to be moving a muscle, does it? This game of chicken has a long way to go, and now that 5-11 year old children are going to be injected, tell me; what happens when those same children become serious ill, or die, by regions, by lot numbers on vials, here and there, as the biggest medical criminals in human history are still running around telling the world the sky is falling. Something like 25 million people are in that age group. How many are reflecting on the catastrophe coming, and it's affect on parents? But, wait, the injected parents are developing dangerous blood clots, as I type. Families are going to be devastated beyond comprehension. New studies continue to emerge every week, crying out, STOP THE SHOT!
Entire nations have said, No to the injections because of just a few adverse reactions, or they have administered common medicinal products, like Ivermectin, and seen the virus all but eradicated from their populations, while the heaviest injected nations show constant reoccurrence and sick people: "vaccinated" people.
If you believe in God, you know God is the only avenue now. It is up to Heaven to act, it is up to the great Sovereign of all to act, if, indeed, He will. I see no evidence He has decided to save America from its neglect and foolishness.
If you do not believe in God, tell me what avenue you shall pursue to cleanse the corruption.
Whatever you decide, tell me how it is not meaningless.

408. The Infighting Begins - November 5, 2021
I get tired of being drawn back into this but, if one thing is certain, like "death and taxes," sooner or later every movement, every group, every body of people taking a stand on something will experience infighting. It is the ancient wedge of Satan from the very beginning of rebellion.
History is saturated with infighting. There is not a body of people in time that has not gone through it, and to see it begin now is no surprise. It is sad, though.
Spain, France, Italy, Germany, USA, Japan and other nations have had researchers discover various, odd elements in vials of the vaccine. Each group has found different things, to one degree or another. You've seen the videos and interviews. Shocking microscopic things, animate and inanimate, that do not belong in a "vaccine."
Dr. Richard Fleming, someone I have mentioned as a doctor standing up against the cabal, came out with his investigation of some vials and found blood clotting factors but, nothing else except, what he called "garbage," numerous times, and seemed to have an attitude that those who claim to have discovered other things are...
I put the ellipsis there because he does not come right out and state anything negative. It's a tone. He found nothing, therefore, anybody else telling us different, is not being accurate or honest or is just doing a shoddy job of research. That is what I took away from his video presentation.
Next, Stew Peters has Dr. Kavin McCairn on, who worked side by side with Fleming on his project, and while he also would not state anything point blank, his whole attitude was; all these people claiming to have found weird stuff in the vials should not have put that out there. He never gave Peters a straight answer as to why. It was an odd interview. McCairn was careful but, his intentions were clear.
Here we have dozens of PhD, Masters, and other degreed medical researchers and professionals from around the world, not just claiming but, SHOWING what they have found in vials of Pharma fluids called "vaccines," and it did not take long before the infighting began, which now places a cloud over the work of dozens, because of two who say they got it right. It never fails. Not even to bring in the fact investigators are have found different lots of manufactured vials, containing elements that are more physically dangerous than others, based on adverse reactions in place where some lots have gone; which would explain why Fleming and McCairn did not see anything but, impurities in their research. In such a critical moment, though, to take a stand against your colleagues risking careers and livelihoods in going public with their research, is typical of how Satan begins placing wedges between brethren. It never fails. Ever.
Thankfully, Peters is a man that shall explore all avenues and re-invite people back on and just ask them what the deal is. Watch carefully. Those honest souls, just showing what they found, will not cast aspersion on Fleming and McCairn. They will just state what they found, again. They will not throw Fleming and McCairn under a bus of suspicion, unless they have evidence to the contrary.
I have seen this play out time after time in my own experiences with church bodies. Revival is never left alone to grow. Infighting always takes place at some point, to derail revival and reformation. It is just the way Satan works and even if you warn people of it, it still comes in and does its dirty work of separating people. The Devil has been far too successful with this wedge to ever stop using it.
Dr. Ben Carson is well known for his surgical work in children, as well as Trump choosing him for a cabinet position. Carson speaks all over the world on both health and spiritual issues. He recently spoke on FOX's Bartiromo program and stated vaccinating young children is not the way to go because the facts, the data, the studies show two things: children are not susceptible to the virus in numbers higher than a typical flu season, and no long term studies have been done to see what kind of effects these fluids will have on them. His voice would be the most well-known at this point. Will anything slow down? NO. This is not about a VIRUS, this is not about anyone's HEALTH. THIS IS ABOUT CONTROL and taking out as large a chunk of the human population as possible. They will not relent unless they begin losing money. That is the god of the cabal. They are making money, they are seeing the results they need to see: sickness, adverse reactions and deaths. They know the fluids will do their job, and a time-release effect planned for, will take place. Hundreds of millions will die from various medical complications created by the mRNA process on human blood and immune systems. The corporate media cabal will continue to cover it up until the numbers rise to something impossible to do so. By then, it will be too late.
The infighting can only weaken, not strengthen resolve to stand up and say, STOP the SHOTS. Right now, both Fleming and McCairn believe the shots should be stopped but, as the cycle of infighting continues, others will come on board claiming, not only nothing odd in the vials but, also, no need to stop the shots. The wedge will become as large as Satan can make it. Brethren will end up standing against brethren. It will get ugly, as people feel more threatened. The corporate media will be more than happy to pick up on it, once they can interview people less dangerous to the plan and cause, than Fleming and McCairn. Empires have come and gone when this process hits full tilt. I mean, c'mon. Just look at four years of Trump having to deal with the most ridiculous trash ever thrown on an elected civil servant, in a plastering of hypocrisy from media that they simply do not care about. The majority of Americans no longer look at corporate media with trust and belief and they still put useless fodder, even dangerous fodder before people to consume. When an agenda is put in place, it moves forward until something arises to stop it and then new plans are put into gear to keep subjugation continuing. The aim is world-wide control and domination. Satan does not relent and his chosen agents do not relent, and if minions wake up, new useful idiots are found to keep things progressing. It is a war. An actual, literal war for the mind.
You are in it, whether you want to be or not. Fight or be overthrown. That's it. Truth versus error. Righteousness versus sin. The war does not end until Christ returns to close up shop on this rebellion. Think that's crazy? Hey, all I can do is tell you what I believe and leave the results with God.
I'm getting more into that, tomorrow.
History is saturated with infighting. There is not a body of people in time that has not gone through it, and to see it begin now is no surprise. It is sad, though.
Spain, France, Italy, Germany, USA, Japan and other nations have had researchers discover various, odd elements in vials of the vaccine.

409. Identifying the Beast of Bible Prophecy - November 6, 2021
As this Blog morphs into more and more thoughts on Bible prophecy and last-day events, it's because our world is changing so rapidly the subjects of drums, drummers, and drumming becomes less and less important. All other subjects will shrink to utter insignificance as the final events grab the attention of all humanity. We live our daily lives until those closing events arrive.
Consider one example. How much would drums, drummers, and drumming concern you if your house fell into a sinkhole today. Gone, swallowed by the Earth. If the drums were your favorite part of the contents, sure, you'd miss them. The reality of the situation would overshadow loss of a drum set pretty quick, though. Consider that the situation for the entire globe. Events are coming that will make all life turn on its head. Identifying the Beast of Bible prophecy is just one small aspect of as total picture.
So, again, another long one. If you are interested, hang in there.
First, full disclosure. Three different concepts of understanding Bible prophecy exist as the major exhibits in Christendom. Preterism, the belief that most prophecies have already been fulfilled. Historicism, the belief that prophecy is in a constant state of fulfillment in historic fashion and events. The third is Futurism, the belief that most prophetic events will be fulfilled at the close of time. I am a Historicist, and I am one for simple reasons which shall make themselves clear. I may have already touched on that subject but, after writing over 400 of these blogs, I forget what's been placed before the reader since I began this section of the website.
I'll do this in two posts. The first will address Daniel, chapter 7. We will see that Daniel and Revelation are like sibling books. Information exists in Daniel that mirrors Revelation. The two books should be understood together.
While a lot of details can be enlarged upon, for brevity, such as it will be, I'll just stick to the main points.
Daniel has a march of empires found in chapters 2, 5, 7, 8, 10, and 11. The other chapters provide important details and filler information. The march of empires of Daniel can be found in any dictionary, encyclopedia, or history book of the ancient era, etc. Nothing fancy here. Daniel, itself, states the empires that would arise in that section of the world. Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, the division of the Roman Empire into the tribal nations which became the nations of Western Europe is that march. Then a power arising out of them. Then a last nation/empire is mentioned in Revelation so, that one will wait. Right now, the Little Horn power of Daniel 7.
Daniel 7 begins with a recap, with different characters, of the empires mentioned in Daniel 2. The date was 553 B.C., around 50 years from the vision used in Chapter 2. There, the king had a vision of a statue. Head of Gold, chest of silver, stomach of brass, legs of iron, feet of iron and clay, and a stone cut out of a mountain without man's hands, that strikes the image and shatters it. Babylon was a golden empire. Ancient archaeological finds and scrolls place over 11 tons of gold covering things in the king's throne room. Chariot races were held on the top of the massive walls that surrounded the capitol. One of the ancient wonders of the world was found there, the hanging gardens of Babylon, watered by the Euphrates river. Modern-day Iraq sits on that region, though you can look at ancient maps and see the territorial boundaries of each of these ancient empires, each one bigger than the former.
The second metal of the statue was silver. Less valuable than gold, the Medo-Persian empire began as a dual power. Ultimately the Persian influence became the ruling authority, as we generally hear of the Persian empire today, which is modern Iran.
Brass/Bronze was the third metal seen on the king's dreamt statue. Brass was a fitting symbol. Grecian armor that protected it's armies was made of brass.
The legs of the statue were iron; the Iron monarchy of Rome, the empire in power at the time of Christ's life on Earth. It crushed everything in its path to broaden the boundaries of its empire to a massive 2.2 million square miles.
The feet were a combination of iron and clay, totally unsuited to keeping the statue erect. The ten toes represent the ten barbarian/tribal nations of early Western Europe, which can be found in a dictionary or encyclopedia, quite easily. It is important to understand the identity of those nations, for they figure into understanding things in Daniel 7.
Alemanni - Germany
Visigoths - Spain
Suevi - Portugal
Franks - France
Burgundians - Switzerland
Lombards - Italy
Anglo-saxons - Great Britain
Vandals - ?
Ostrogoths - ?
Heruli - ?
The last three tribal kingdoms have no earthly posterity today. Why? They inhabited parts of today's Germany, Poland, Italy and Scandinavia, as well as northern Africa. What happened to them?
It is mentioned that various things were done to try and hold the toes together, "mingling the seed of men." The most popular angle was marrying a daughter of one king to the son of another. Nonetheless, no ruling empire exists today. Rome did not fall. The prophecy says Rome was divided, and that is exactly what happened, and stayed that way.
The Stone in the vision that strikes the image and shatters it, is the second coming of Christ, which will end all the nations of this Earth and establish His everlasting, physical kingdom.
A power arising out of the Euro tribal nations is added, in Dan. 7: its rise, existence, and destruction. It is not a political empire. That is very important. Beasts are used to describe the empires, arising out of the seas, which is a prophetic symbol for heavily populated areas. The use of animals for nations remains common, today. The Eagle is a symbol for America, the Bear for Russia, the Panda for China, the Kangaroo for Australia, the Beaver for Canada, Elephants and Donkeys for Republicans and Democrats, etc. We will eventually be searching and looking at the kingdom of the serpent.
The Historicist position begins in the times of the prophet and moves forward from there. At the time of Daniel's vision, Babylon was the empire in power.
The lion with eagles wings is Babylon. Archaeology has discovered many things that mark the place of Babylon in history. Wall reliefs, statues, coins. The lion with wings is a common one. Wings are found over 60 times in the Bible to denote speed, majesty, power, and other aspects of natural and national life.
The Bear with one side raised and three ribs in its mouth, is Medo-Persia, ultimately one side rising; Persia. The ribs denote the three kingdoms Persia defeated to increase its size: Babylon, Lidya and Egypt.
Next is Greece, described as a four-headed Leopard, with four wings. Greece conquered quickly but, the 5 years it took Alexander to conquer, found him removed from the earthly stage quickly, as well, and four generals took the kingdom - Cassander, Lysimicus, Ptolemy and Seleucus.
Rome is pictured as a non-descript beast, with "great iron teeth" and “nails of brass” that just crushed everything in its history, and it had ten horns on it. This beast was different from the others. It terrified Daniel to behold it. Rome was Rome. Nothing need more be said, save for the one thing that remains its ultimate crime: it crucified the innocent Messiah at the behest of the apostate leaders if the Jews.
The ten horns are obviously likened to the ten toes in chapter 2, the nations arising out of the divided Roman empire. Here, we now get into the matter at hand.
Out of the ten arises another horn. Marks are given to describe it.
Verse 8 - It arose among the ten horns - it is European.
It uprooted three of the ten horns - As previously mentioned, the Heruli in 493, The Vandals in 534, and the Ostrogoths, in 553. Uprooted, no roots, gone.
The horn has the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things; more pompous than all rulers before him, using wisdom and intrigue to gain and maintain power.
verse 20 - It was more ‘stout’ than the others - fatter, larger, held more territory.
verse 21 - It made war with the saints, God’s people - it’s a persecuting power.
verse 24 - It would arise ‘after’ the first ten.
It would be different than those before it. The previous were political powers, that had religions. The Little Horn is a religious power that has some political aspects. Big difference.
Verse 25 - It speaks great words ‘against’ the most High - the word translated against is from the word ‘Tsad’ - which means, an adversary at the side of. “My horse against yours,” meaning, in a race, my horse is equal to or better than yours.
It thinks to change times and laws.
It rules for “three and half times,” or three and half years of biblical/prophetic time.
There is only one power in the history of the world that can meet these ten marks: the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church. The RCC is just a continuation of the divided Roman empire, with a Pontifex Maximus, just like pagan Rome.
It is obviously European, it’s headquarters, it’s national existence, as a kingdom with 9 acres, at the Vatican, Rome, Italy.
The Papal armies, those national armies rendering allegiance to the popes, went to war with and defeated, destroyed the three tribes that were “Arian” nations, considered heretics by the Roman Catholic Church.
The Papacy has used more intrigue and craft to maintain control of its claimed sovereignty than any nation or denomination before or after it. It is the oldest power on planet Earth, with levels and orders of powers no other religion has ever had. It has a man in power that is considered infallible when he speaks from the chair, which is a throne at the Vatican, high and lifted up. It is claimed the apostle Peter ruled from that throne. It is golden, surrounded by angels, and a staircase rising to it. The staircase and throne are not used today but, "speaking from the chair" is a term for pronouncements of a pope, considered perfectly guided by the Holy Spirit, and thereby making the pope infallible, which was a doctrine officially decided in 1870.
While the modern Vatican “nation” sits on 9+ acres of land in Rome, the territory and power of the Vatican upon Europe, and its influence on the globe has been greater than any and all nations before it. At one time, you could not be crowned or accepted as a king unless a pope or emissary of the pope was there to put the crown on your head.
The Roman Catholic Church has persecuted more people than any other power in history. Various historians claim anywhere from 50-200 million people lost their lives at the hands of the Papacy or its armies, and its Inquisitions, because they were considered “heretics.” Some of its greatest champions, like “Saint” Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuit order, considered the removal of heretics a blessing conferred upon him and his order, by the Papacy. The venerated Catholic apologist, “Saint” Thomas Aquinas wrote, in his Summa Theologica:
“With regard to heretics two points must be observed: one, on their own side; the other, on the side of the Church. On their own side there is the sin, whereby they deserve not only to be separated from the Church by excommunication, but also to be severed from the world by death. For it is a much graver matter to corrupt the faith which quickens the soul, than to forge money, which supports temporal life. Wherefore if forgers of money and other evil-doers are forthwith condemned to death by the secular authority, much more reason is there for heretics, as soon as they are convicted of heresy, to be not only excommunicated but even put to death.
“On the part of the Church, however, there is mercy which looks to the conversion of the wanderer, wherefore she condemns not at once, but “after the first and second admonition,” as the Apostle directs: after that, if he is yet stubborn, the Church no longer hoping for his conversion, looks to the salvation of others, by excommunicating him and separating him from the Church, and furthermore delivers him to the secular tribunal to be exterminated thereby from the world by death. For Jerome commenting on Gal. 5:9, “A little leaven,” says: “Cut off the decayed flesh, expel the mangy sheep from the fold, lest the whole house, the whole pasture, the whole body, the whole flock, burn, perish, rot, die. Arius was but one spark in Alexandria, but as that spark was not at once put out, the whole earth was laid waste by its flame.” "
Dozens of such beliefs, statements and dogma can be found throughout Roman Catholic historical writings.
It did arise “after” the ten horns. Rome divided by 476 A.D. The Papacy gained control over all churches and heretics with the decree of emperor Justinian, in 533, when he left Rome and went to Constantinople. He left Rome in the hands of the pope, and by 538, Vigilius, even considered one of the weaker popes, had reign over what was left of the empire. With the removal of the Ostrogoths in 553, the RCC and Papacy had absolute power in Europe. What you are about to read is from Roman Catholic sources, well known in Catholic and Protestant history:
“Pope Boniface VIII proclaimed 1300 a year of Jubilee (the first Holy Year) and granted plenary indulgences (the remission of temporal punishment in Purgatory) to the tens of thousands of pilgrims to Rome. It was at this time that he began to occasionally dress in imperial regalia and exclaim, "I am Caesar, I am the Emperor." He commissioned so many statues of himself that he was accused of encouraging idolatry.
“When King Philip the Fair of France imprisoned the bishop of Parmiers, France, Pope Boniface VIII believed that King Philip encroached upon his spiritual authority. Pope Boniface VIII then summoned thirty-nine French bishops to a synod in Rome. King Philip ordered the bishops not to attend. When they did attend the synod, King Philip of France promptly confiscated their property.
“On November 18, 1302, Pope Boniface VIII issued his most famous bull, Unam sanctam. He declared sole power over all spiritual and temporal matters, "...it is altogether necessary to the salvation for every human creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff."
https://www.culturalcatholic.com/PopeBonifaceVIII.htm
One might wonder why any pope would call himself Pope Sixtus. Five popes chose that name. Its sibling variant spelling is, “sextus,” meaning 6th. Sixtus means “Polished,” and “sixth born.” Man was born on the 6th day of creation. The religion of man is labeled with the triple denunciation of 666. The history of the papacy is one of the power and authority of man. It claims that power was granted by God. Does the Papacy speak great words equal to God? DOZENS of statements could be placed here, and I placed many up on the screens in my seminars. Here are a few, and can be found all over the web, or in various historical works.
“The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Chapter XXVII, p. 218, ” Cities Petrus Bertanous
“But the supreme teacher in the Church is the Roman Pontiff. Union of minds, therefore, requires, together with a perfect accord in the one faith, complete submission and obedience of will to the Church and to the Roman Pontiff, as to God Himself.” (Pope Leo XIII, Encyclical Letter, “On the Chief Duties of Christians as Citizens”, dated January 10, 1890, trans. in The Great Encyclical Letters of Pope Leo XIII, p. 193
“The Pope is of so great dignity, and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as it were God and the vicar of God.” Ferraris Ecclesiastical dictionary
“All names which in the Scriptures are applied to Christ, by virtue of which it is established that He is over the church, all the same names are applied to the Pope.” On the Authority of the Councils, book 2, chapter 17
“The infallibility of the pope is the infallibility of Jesus Christ Himself. . . whenever the pope thinks, it is God Himself, who is thinking in him.” (Fritz Leist, Der Gefangene des Vatikanus, p. 344. Quoted in Symposium on Revelation, pp. 340-341)
Protestantism is a movement on Earth to stand against these “great words” spoken to be equal with God. I did a quick search while writing this blog and found many appropriate statements on this subject on this page, the first hit on the search list:
https://thechristianlife.com/blasphemous-roman-catholic-church-statements/
I did not research the site, and make no endorsements of it beyond the information on that page.
The Papacy, as already mentioned previously in the 666 blog post, claims to have the authority to change the Seventh-day Sabbath of the Fourth commandment, written by the finger of God in stone, to the first day of the week, Sunday, the venerabilis de solis, the venerable day of the sun; in its doctrinal third commandment. It removed the Second commandment, on the worship/bowing down before images, and split the Tenth commandment in two, to retain ten commands in its doctrinal position on the Moral Law. It invented a host of Holy Days of Obligation and other laws and decrees, that began a train of apostasy for over 1500 years. Before the second millennium, priests were married, if they so chose. Peter, himself, claimed to be the first Pope by the RCC, was married. Pope Leo, the Great, changed that. The Greek and Russian Orthodox churches split from Rome because of the many, man-made rules and laws Rome was constantly coming up with. Which is not to say the Orthodox churches do not have their own lists of man-made traditions but, Rome pushed hard enough to cause that schism in the 11th century. The real Reformation was yet to come, even though history shows many groups of believers rising up against the Roman Church’s apostasy from the simplicity of the Scriptures being the only rule of faith, practice, and discipline for the believer.
What about time? Simple. The position of biblical historians, commentators and clergy was a unified Historicist position. With the growing influence of the Reformation in Europe, two 16th century Spanish Jesuit priests sought to counter that influence with a different approach to prophetic interpretation. Lucius Alcazar and Francisco Ribera took up the task and produced the early versions of what we call Preterism and Futurism, today. Alcazar claimed all prophecies were already fulfilled, and placed 666 on emperor Nero, which can be found today in most Catholic Bibles with notes. Ribera claimed all prophecies were yet to be fulfilled, and became the father of Futurism, which dismantled Daniel and Revelation’s stinging finger pointing at the RCC and Papacy as the fulfillment of God’s greatest apostate antagonist. It became the “Counter Reformation.” Today, because of the Oxford apostasy and its tentacles, most of professed Protestant and evangelical, fundamentalist churches and ministries teach Roman Catholic, Preterist or Futurist interpretations of Bible prophecy. Thankfully not all, as God continues the Reformation, which shall continue to the end of time.
The final mark is the historical uninterrupted reign of this power. The Bible speaks of it as a time, times, and half a time. A “time” is considered a year, in Scripture. Three and half years of prophetic time.
A biblical month and thereby year, contains 30 days to a month and 360 days to a year. Modern astronomy and calculations have made workable methods of dealing with a 365 day-a-year movement of the Earth around the sun; the Solar calendar. Ancient methods were used to address problems that naturally arose in those times with use of Lunar calendars.
Three and half prophetic “times” equals 1260 years of historic time, which is also the 42 months of prophetic time mentioned in Revelation. From 538 A.D., the establishment of the politically ruling Papacy, to 1798, is 1260 years. What happened in 1798? Napoleon sent his chief of staff, General Louis Alexandre Berthier, to Rome, taking Pope Pius the VI captive, who died in exile in 1798. The Papacy received a deadly wound. Yes, if that strikes a bell, we now shall move to Rev. 13, next time.
It alarms most Protestants to find out all their denominations or heritage used to teach that the Papacy was the Little Horn power of Daniel 7, the power also mentioned in chapter 8 and 11 (verses 30-45). The Protestant Reformation had different doctrinal hassles but, for 300 years it was united on the position the Papacy/Roman Catholic Church was the great falling away mentioned by the Apostle Paul.
Again, take no offense. I mean none. This is not an indictment of faithful Roman Catholics, or even believers in all other churches and fellowships. This position has faded with the times of apostasy the “daughters” of Mother Rome have fallen into, themselves. This message did not die and shall never die and more and more, as the Papacy regains power and influence, which is prophesied, this message will gain more and more influence until its agitation becomes so great, apostates will put forth almost superhuman effort to stand against it and defeat it and everything else that comes with it, in the Three Angel’s messages of Revelation 14, and messages through the end of the book.
At one time, in the early 20th century, the RCC stated there was only one Protestant church left, the Seventh-day Adventist Church. That church, too, has gone into apostasy, and Protestantism is a scattered field today, but, that will yet change at some point. Events are building. No, the majority shall never be on the side of truth. Never. Never has happened, never will happen but, the necessary ingredients to fulfill prophecy will come into place, in God’s time and order, notwithstanding the ‘Laodicean’ condition of Christendom at this point in time.
God will have a people who keep His commandments and guard the faith of Jesus, the faith once delivered to the saints; the sanctified ones who abide in Christ and His way, truth, and life. From all corners of the globe shall that remnant be constructed to make the final stand.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Consider one example. How much would drums, drummers, and drumming concern you if your house fell into a sinkhole today. Gone, swallowed by the Earth. If the drums were your favorite part of the contents, sure, you'd miss them. The reality of the situation would overshadow loss of a drum set pretty quick, though. Consider that the situation for the entire globe. Events are coming that will make all life turn on its head. Identifying the Beast of Bible prophecy is just one small aspect of as total picture.
So, again, another long one. If you are interested, hang in there.
First, full disclosure. Three different concepts of understanding Bible prophecy exist as the major exhibits in Christendom. Preterism, the belief that most prophecies have already been fulfilled. Historicism, the belief that prophecy is in a constant state of fulfillment in historic fashion and events. The third is Futurism, the belief that most prophetic events will be fulfilled at the close of time. I am a Historicist, and I am one for simple reasons which shall make themselves clear. I may have already touched on that subject but, after writing over 400 of these blogs, I forget what's been placed before the reader since I began this section of the website.
I'll do this in two posts. The first will address Daniel, chapter 7. We will see that Daniel and Revelation are like sibling books. Information exists in Daniel that mirrors Revelation. The two books should be understood together.
While a lot of details can be enlarged upon, for brevity, such as it will be, I'll just stick to the main points.
Daniel has a march of empires found in chapters 2, 5, 7, 8, 10, and 11. The other chapters provide important details and filler information. The march of empires of Daniel can be found in any dictionary, encyclopedia, or history book of the ancient era, etc. Nothing fancy here. Daniel, itself, states the empires that would arise in that section of the world. Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, the division of the Roman Empire into the tribal nations which became the nations of Western Europe is that march. Then a power arising out of them. Then a last nation/empire is mentioned in Revelation so, that one will wait. Right now, the Little Horn power of Daniel 7.
Daniel 7 begins with a recap, with different characters, of the empires mentioned in Daniel 2. The date was 553 B.C., around 50 years from the vision used in Chapter 2. There, the king had a vision of a statue. Head of Gold, chest of silver, stomach of brass, legs of iron, feet of iron and clay, and a stone cut out of a mountain without man's hands, that strikes the image and shatters it. Babylon was a golden empire. Ancient archaeological finds and scrolls place over 11 tons of gold covering things in the king's throne room. Chariot races were held on the top of the massive walls that surrounded the capitol. One of the ancient wonders of the world was found there, the hanging gardens of Babylon, watered by the Euphrates river. Modern-day Iraq sits on that region, though you can look at ancient maps and see the territorial boundaries of each of these ancient empires, each one bigger than the former.
The second metal of the statue was silver. Less valuable than gold, the Medo-Persian empire began as a dual power. Ultimately the Persian influence became the ruling authority, as we generally hear of the Persian empire today, which is modern Iran.
Brass/Bronze was the third metal seen on the king's dreamt statue. Brass was a fitting symbol. Grecian armor that protected it's armies was made of brass.
The legs of the statue were iron; the Iron monarchy of Rome, the empire in power at the time of Christ's life on Earth. It crushed everything in its path to broaden the boundaries of its empire to a massive 2.2 million square miles.
The feet were a combination of iron and clay, totally unsuited to keeping the statue erect. The ten toes represent the ten barbarian/tribal nations of early Western Europe, which can be found in a dictionary or encyclopedia, quite easily. It is important to understand the identity of those nations, for they figure into understanding things in Daniel 7.
Alemanni - Germany
Visigoths - Spain
Suevi - Portugal
Franks - France
Burgundians - Switzerland
Lombards - Italy
Anglo-saxons - Great Britain
Vandals - ?
Ostrogoths - ?
Heruli - ?
The last three tribal kingdoms have no earthly posterity today. Why? They inhabited parts of today's Germany, Poland, Italy and Scandinavia, as well as northern Africa. What happened to them?
It is mentioned that various things were done to try and hold the toes together, "mingling the seed of men." The most popular angle was marrying a daughter of one king to the son of another. Nonetheless, no ruling empire exists today. Rome did not fall. The prophecy says Rome was divided, and that is exactly what happened, and stayed that way.
The Stone in the vision that strikes the image and shatters it, is the second coming of Christ, which will end all the nations of this Earth and establish His everlasting, physical kingdom.
A power arising out of the Euro tribal nations is added, in Dan. 7: its rise, existence, and destruction. It is not a political empire. That is very important. Beasts are used to describe the empires, arising out of the seas, which is a prophetic symbol for heavily populated areas. The use of animals for nations remains common, today. The Eagle is a symbol for America, the Bear for Russia, the Panda for China, the Kangaroo for Australia, the Beaver for Canada, Elephants and Donkeys for Republicans and Democrats, etc. We will eventually be searching and looking at the kingdom of the serpent.
The Historicist position begins in the times of the prophet and moves forward from there. At the time of Daniel's vision, Babylon was the empire in power.
The lion with eagles wings is Babylon. Archaeology has discovered many things that mark the place of Babylon in history. Wall reliefs, statues, coins. The lion with wings is a common one. Wings are found over 60 times in the Bible to denote speed, majesty, power, and other aspects of natural and national life.
The Bear with one side raised and three ribs in its mouth, is Medo-Persia, ultimately one side rising; Persia. The ribs denote the three kingdoms Persia defeated to increase its size: Babylon, Lidya and Egypt.
Next is Greece, described as a four-headed Leopard, with four wings. Greece conquered quickly but, the 5 years it took Alexander to conquer, found him removed from the earthly stage quickly, as well, and four generals took the kingdom - Cassander, Lysimicus, Ptolemy and Seleucus.
Rome is pictured as a non-descript beast, with "great iron teeth" and “nails of brass” that just crushed everything in its history, and it had ten horns on it. This beast was different from the others. It terrified Daniel to behold it. Rome was Rome. Nothing need more be said, save for the one thing that remains its ultimate crime: it crucified the innocent Messiah at the behest of the apostate leaders if the Jews.
The ten horns are obviously likened to the ten toes in chapter 2, the nations arising out of the divided Roman empire. Here, we now get into the matter at hand.
Out of the ten arises another horn. Marks are given to describe it.
Verse 8 - It arose among the ten horns - it is European.
It uprooted three of the ten horns - As previously mentioned, the Heruli in 493, The Vandals in 534, and the Ostrogoths, in 553. Uprooted, no roots, gone.
The horn has the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things; more pompous than all rulers before him, using wisdom and intrigue to gain and maintain power.
verse 20 - It was more ‘stout’ than the others - fatter, larger, held more territory.
verse 21 - It made war with the saints, God’s people - it’s a persecuting power.
verse 24 - It would arise ‘after’ the first ten.
It would be different than those before it. The previous were political powers, that had religions. The Little Horn is a religious power that has some political aspects. Big difference.
Verse 25 - It speaks great words ‘against’ the most High - the word translated against is from the word ‘Tsad’ - which means, an adversary at the side of. “My horse against yours,” meaning, in a race, my horse is equal to or better than yours.
It thinks to change times and laws.
It rules for “three and half times,” or three and half years of biblical/prophetic time.
There is only one power in the history of the world that can meet these ten marks: the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church. The RCC is just a continuation of the divided Roman empire, with a Pontifex Maximus, just like pagan Rome.
It is obviously European, it’s headquarters, it’s national existence, as a kingdom with 9 acres, at the Vatican, Rome, Italy.
The Papal armies, those national armies rendering allegiance to the popes, went to war with and defeated, destroyed the three tribes that were “Arian” nations, considered heretics by the Roman Catholic Church.
The Papacy has used more intrigue and craft to maintain control of its claimed sovereignty than any nation or denomination before or after it. It is the oldest power on planet Earth, with levels and orders of powers no other religion has ever had. It has a man in power that is considered infallible when he speaks from the chair, which is a throne at the Vatican, high and lifted up. It is claimed the apostle Peter ruled from that throne. It is golden, surrounded by angels, and a staircase rising to it. The staircase and throne are not used today but, "speaking from the chair" is a term for pronouncements of a pope, considered perfectly guided by the Holy Spirit, and thereby making the pope infallible, which was a doctrine officially decided in 1870.
While the modern Vatican “nation” sits on 9+ acres of land in Rome, the territory and power of the Vatican upon Europe, and its influence on the globe has been greater than any and all nations before it. At one time, you could not be crowned or accepted as a king unless a pope or emissary of the pope was there to put the crown on your head.
The Roman Catholic Church has persecuted more people than any other power in history. Various historians claim anywhere from 50-200 million people lost their lives at the hands of the Papacy or its armies, and its Inquisitions, because they were considered “heretics.” Some of its greatest champions, like “Saint” Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuit order, considered the removal of heretics a blessing conferred upon him and his order, by the Papacy. The venerated Catholic apologist, “Saint” Thomas Aquinas wrote, in his Summa Theologica:
“With regard to heretics two points must be observed: one, on their own side; the other, on the side of the Church. On their own side there is the sin, whereby they deserve not only to be separated from the Church by excommunication, but also to be severed from the world by death. For it is a much graver matter to corrupt the faith which quickens the soul, than to forge money, which supports temporal life. Wherefore if forgers of money and other evil-doers are forthwith condemned to death by the secular authority, much more reason is there for heretics, as soon as they are convicted of heresy, to be not only excommunicated but even put to death.
“On the part of the Church, however, there is mercy which looks to the conversion of the wanderer, wherefore she condemns not at once, but “after the first and second admonition,” as the Apostle directs: after that, if he is yet stubborn, the Church no longer hoping for his conversion, looks to the salvation of others, by excommunicating him and separating him from the Church, and furthermore delivers him to the secular tribunal to be exterminated thereby from the world by death. For Jerome commenting on Gal. 5:9, “A little leaven,” says: “Cut off the decayed flesh, expel the mangy sheep from the fold, lest the whole house, the whole pasture, the whole body, the whole flock, burn, perish, rot, die. Arius was but one spark in Alexandria, but as that spark was not at once put out, the whole earth was laid waste by its flame.” "
Dozens of such beliefs, statements and dogma can be found throughout Roman Catholic historical writings.
It did arise “after” the ten horns. Rome divided by 476 A.D. The Papacy gained control over all churches and heretics with the decree of emperor Justinian, in 533, when he left Rome and went to Constantinople. He left Rome in the hands of the pope, and by 538, Vigilius, even considered one of the weaker popes, had reign over what was left of the empire. With the removal of the Ostrogoths in 553, the RCC and Papacy had absolute power in Europe. What you are about to read is from Roman Catholic sources, well known in Catholic and Protestant history:
“Pope Boniface VIII proclaimed 1300 a year of Jubilee (the first Holy Year) and granted plenary indulgences (the remission of temporal punishment in Purgatory) to the tens of thousands of pilgrims to Rome. It was at this time that he began to occasionally dress in imperial regalia and exclaim, "I am Caesar, I am the Emperor." He commissioned so many statues of himself that he was accused of encouraging idolatry.
“When King Philip the Fair of France imprisoned the bishop of Parmiers, France, Pope Boniface VIII believed that King Philip encroached upon his spiritual authority. Pope Boniface VIII then summoned thirty-nine French bishops to a synod in Rome. King Philip ordered the bishops not to attend. When they did attend the synod, King Philip of France promptly confiscated their property.
“On November 18, 1302, Pope Boniface VIII issued his most famous bull, Unam sanctam. He declared sole power over all spiritual and temporal matters, "...it is altogether necessary to the salvation for every human creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff."
https://www.culturalcatholic.com/PopeBonifaceVIII.htm
One might wonder why any pope would call himself Pope Sixtus. Five popes chose that name. Its sibling variant spelling is, “sextus,” meaning 6th. Sixtus means “Polished,” and “sixth born.” Man was born on the 6th day of creation. The religion of man is labeled with the triple denunciation of 666. The history of the papacy is one of the power and authority of man. It claims that power was granted by God. Does the Papacy speak great words equal to God? DOZENS of statements could be placed here, and I placed many up on the screens in my seminars. Here are a few, and can be found all over the web, or in various historical works.
“The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Chapter XXVII, p. 218, ” Cities Petrus Bertanous
“But the supreme teacher in the Church is the Roman Pontiff. Union of minds, therefore, requires, together with a perfect accord in the one faith, complete submission and obedience of will to the Church and to the Roman Pontiff, as to God Himself.” (Pope Leo XIII, Encyclical Letter, “On the Chief Duties of Christians as Citizens”, dated January 10, 1890, trans. in The Great Encyclical Letters of Pope Leo XIII, p. 193
“The Pope is of so great dignity, and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as it were God and the vicar of God.” Ferraris Ecclesiastical dictionary
“All names which in the Scriptures are applied to Christ, by virtue of which it is established that He is over the church, all the same names are applied to the Pope.” On the Authority of the Councils, book 2, chapter 17
“The infallibility of the pope is the infallibility of Jesus Christ Himself. . . whenever the pope thinks, it is God Himself, who is thinking in him.” (Fritz Leist, Der Gefangene des Vatikanus, p. 344. Quoted in Symposium on Revelation, pp. 340-341)
Protestantism is a movement on Earth to stand against these “great words” spoken to be equal with God. I did a quick search while writing this blog and found many appropriate statements on this subject on this page, the first hit on the search list:
https://thechristianlife.com/blasphemous-roman-catholic-church-statements/
I did not research the site, and make no endorsements of it beyond the information on that page.
The Papacy, as already mentioned previously in the 666 blog post, claims to have the authority to change the Seventh-day Sabbath of the Fourth commandment, written by the finger of God in stone, to the first day of the week, Sunday, the venerabilis de solis, the venerable day of the sun; in its doctrinal third commandment. It removed the Second commandment, on the worship/bowing down before images, and split the Tenth commandment in two, to retain ten commands in its doctrinal position on the Moral Law. It invented a host of Holy Days of Obligation and other laws and decrees, that began a train of apostasy for over 1500 years. Before the second millennium, priests were married, if they so chose. Peter, himself, claimed to be the first Pope by the RCC, was married. Pope Leo, the Great, changed that. The Greek and Russian Orthodox churches split from Rome because of the many, man-made rules and laws Rome was constantly coming up with. Which is not to say the Orthodox churches do not have their own lists of man-made traditions but, Rome pushed hard enough to cause that schism in the 11th century. The real Reformation was yet to come, even though history shows many groups of believers rising up against the Roman Church’s apostasy from the simplicity of the Scriptures being the only rule of faith, practice, and discipline for the believer.
What about time? Simple. The position of biblical historians, commentators and clergy was a unified Historicist position. With the growing influence of the Reformation in Europe, two 16th century Spanish Jesuit priests sought to counter that influence with a different approach to prophetic interpretation. Lucius Alcazar and Francisco Ribera took up the task and produced the early versions of what we call Preterism and Futurism, today. Alcazar claimed all prophecies were already fulfilled, and placed 666 on emperor Nero, which can be found today in most Catholic Bibles with notes. Ribera claimed all prophecies were yet to be fulfilled, and became the father of Futurism, which dismantled Daniel and Revelation’s stinging finger pointing at the RCC and Papacy as the fulfillment of God’s greatest apostate antagonist. It became the “Counter Reformation.” Today, because of the Oxford apostasy and its tentacles, most of professed Protestant and evangelical, fundamentalist churches and ministries teach Roman Catholic, Preterist or Futurist interpretations of Bible prophecy. Thankfully not all, as God continues the Reformation, which shall continue to the end of time.
The final mark is the historical uninterrupted reign of this power. The Bible speaks of it as a time, times, and half a time. A “time” is considered a year, in Scripture. Three and half years of prophetic time.
A biblical month and thereby year, contains 30 days to a month and 360 days to a year. Modern astronomy and calculations have made workable methods of dealing with a 365 day-a-year movement of the Earth around the sun; the Solar calendar. Ancient methods were used to address problems that naturally arose in those times with use of Lunar calendars.
Three and half prophetic “times” equals 1260 years of historic time, which is also the 42 months of prophetic time mentioned in Revelation. From 538 A.D., the establishment of the politically ruling Papacy, to 1798, is 1260 years. What happened in 1798? Napoleon sent his chief of staff, General Louis Alexandre Berthier, to Rome, taking Pope Pius the VI captive, who died in exile in 1798. The Papacy received a deadly wound. Yes, if that strikes a bell, we now shall move to Rev. 13, next time.
It alarms most Protestants to find out all their denominations or heritage used to teach that the Papacy was the Little Horn power of Daniel 7, the power also mentioned in chapter 8 and 11 (verses 30-45). The Protestant Reformation had different doctrinal hassles but, for 300 years it was united on the position the Papacy/Roman Catholic Church was the great falling away mentioned by the Apostle Paul.
Again, take no offense. I mean none. This is not an indictment of faithful Roman Catholics, or even believers in all other churches and fellowships. This position has faded with the times of apostasy the “daughters” of Mother Rome have fallen into, themselves. This message did not die and shall never die and more and more, as the Papacy regains power and influence, which is prophesied, this message will gain more and more influence until its agitation becomes so great, apostates will put forth almost superhuman effort to stand against it and defeat it and everything else that comes with it, in the Three Angel’s messages of Revelation 14, and messages through the end of the book.
At one time, in the early 20th century, the RCC stated there was only one Protestant church left, the Seventh-day Adventist Church. That church, too, has gone into apostasy, and Protestantism is a scattered field today, but, that will yet change at some point. Events are building. No, the majority shall never be on the side of truth. Never. Never has happened, never will happen but, the necessary ingredients to fulfill prophecy will come into place, in God’s time and order, notwithstanding the ‘Laodicean’ condition of Christendom at this point in time.
God will have a people who keep His commandments and guard the faith of Jesus, the faith once delivered to the saints; the sanctified ones who abide in Christ and His way, truth, and life. From all corners of the globe shall that remnant be constructed to make the final stand.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Dansby Swanson, of the World Series winning, Atlanta Braves, thanks the Lord for His peace, for Swanson's heroics to rev up the Braves push for wins in the series.
Kanye West continues to hold worship services, recently attended by Justin Bieber and Brian Warner. Don't know who Brian Warner is? How about Marilyn Manson, his music career name? Now, I'll be honest and say, watching this short video seemed to place Warner in a position he was not comfortable with, as far as one could see his eyes but, needless to say, if Warner has truly given his heart and mind to Christ, his conversion would be one of the greatest I have seen in my lifetime. Any sinner converted to Christ is a great thing, that Christ said causes angels in heaven to rejoice but, Marilyn Manson? I remember the first time I heard his "music." It was so incredibly creepy and satanically disturbing, I had to turn off the program I was listening to on the radio.

https://www.christianheadlines.com/contributors/milton-quintanilla/43-percent-of-americans-believe-being-christian-is-a-significant-part-of-being-truly-american-study-shows.html
43% is down from 53% in a 2015 survey. I would have stated being "Christian" is not a significant part of being truly American. Such a position goes against the very documents the Founders placed in authority for the nation. While I obviously believe the Creator God was understood to varying degrees by the Founders, Jesus Christ is not mentioned in the Declaration or Constitution or any other Federal document, to my knowledge, even though certain people in the original Congress attempted to place it there. Jews, Muslims, and other faiths believe in deity, and while I would not accept those faiths or their beliefs, per se' (seeing it is obvious all religions teach some basic tenets everyone agrees with), their rights as Americans are granted them by the Creator, even if some citizens are atheists. That is the overwhelming significance of being American. There is no union of church and state, though there is the understanding of not removing God from the affairs of state. There is a difference. I have gone over it numerous times and won't get into here.
"Truly" American is anyone who agrees the Founding documents, the rule of law and adherence to it, for all citizens, are the basis for America, itself. Frankly, being an atheist puts one out of step with the history of this nation, as stated in the Declaration and writings of most of the Founders but, everyone knows Franklin and Jefferson were not "Christians." They believed Christ was a great man, taught great things that should be followed but, Christ being deity was not something they believed. Others in government believed the same thing.
I marvel that those points seem so foreign to so many Americans.
https://www.christianheadlines.com/contributors/michael-foust/white-evangelicals-are-the-only-religious-group-to-believe-2020-election-was-stolen-poll.html
That headline coincides with the previous one and survey it was taken from. Considering I just saw a recent headline stating the majority of Americans believe the election was stolen, an obvious disparity exists in surveys and polls taken, which is always a problem, and why I look at all of them over the top of my glasses.
To state only white evangelicals believe the election was stolen is not even born out by the article itself.
"The poll, released Monday, found that 31 percent of all Americans believe the "2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump," while 67 percent reject the idea.
But among white evangelicals, the belief in a stolen election is popular. Exactly six in 10 (60 percent) white evangelicals believe the election was stolen – a number significantly higher than that of white Catholics (40 percent), white mainline Protestants (37 percent), Hispanic Catholics (19 percent) and black Protestants (18 percent)."
Four other groups are stated right there. The headline is wrong, intentionally or unintentionally but, it is erroneous.
Frankly, those unwilling to look at the subject, objectively, based on the weight of the evidence, are not truly Americans, and I do not care what faith they profess. The ONLY thing that grants legitimate power and authority to a citizen to change the government is honest elections. That's it. No other legal option exists, without violence, so, if any voice claims fraud took place and claims to have significant evidence, any true American should sit down and look at it. I would not give a whit to a professed American too ignorant of principles of Americanism to be honest and forthright enough to allow any legitimate claim, from a president no less, to be closely examined. "Oh, Trump is just sore loser." Says the one ignorant of what took place before the election, the day of the election, the wee morning hours the day after the election, and which proceeded for days and weeks beyond the election, and testimony now exists it took place in this past week's New Jersey election!
I apologize to no one for this position. The election was, point blank, stolen by various procedures of fraud and criminal activity across the nation, which have been exposed for anyone to see over the last year. Any professed American, patriot, Conservative, civil servant too ignorant or gutless to address this subject and its affect on American civil service, and every other facet of law and order it touches, including a Commander in Chief of the armed forces, is not worthy of consideration for enough intelligence to comment on American politics. They are traitors to the principles of Americanism.
The National Day of Prayer is concerning itself with the vast numbers of Christians being persecuted all over the world at present. An estimated 340 million people are under duress and persecution because of their faith. In places like North Korea, China, Afghanistan, Central African Nations, India, and other places, including, truth be told, America, at the hands of those in power who detest the Christian faith and do all they can to make life as hard as possible for believers, Christians are being harassed, oppressed and persecuted. May God remember and help each one to stay hopeful and faithful.

https://www.faithwire.com/2021/11/01/atheists-demand-members-of-congress-stop-taking-part-in-national-prayer-breakfast/
Man, give it a rest, would ya? Atheists, priding themselves on their intelligence, are really in the dark when it comes to simple civics. Individual members of the Federal, State or Local governments have a right to do whatever they want, as individuals. The National Day of Prayer is a tradition, not a law. "Congress shall make no law... ." Atheists need to get some facts down before they begin haranguing everyone in sight.
“Are we really still doing this in 2021?” FFRF co-president Annie Laurie Gaylor said in a statement. “Year after year, scandal after scandal, and still not a single prayer has been answered.”
Gaylor went on to say the separation of church and state is being disrespected with participants’ mixture of politics and faith and that “their god doesn’t give a fig for their mimosa-driven pleas.”
Number one, how would an atheist, not in the actual circumstances, know what prayers have been answered or not? Number two, the separation of church and state has ZIP to do with a traditional day of prayer among civil servants who profess belief in "Natures God." To make a claim for God, Himself, on what He cares about or does not, is the height of arrogance and, frankly, stupidity. Having spent my youth as an atheist, I find such commentary embarrassing, in and of itself but, as an American, wholly ridiculous and needing some severe education.
One must wonder, would atheists try to impeach Winsome Sears, the new Lieutenant Governor of VA, for thanking Jesus for her victory last Tuesday? I am not stating Christ helped her one way or the other but, she certainly has the freedom and liberty to proclaim that as an elected civil servant.
Confusion. That is the condition of our current world. It is the condition of prophetic, spiritual Babylon. We are there.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Any professed American, patriot, Conservative, civil servant too ignorant or gutless to address this subject and its affect on American civil service, and every other facet of law and order it touches, including a Commander in Chief of the armed forces, is not worthy of consideration for enough intelligence to comment on American politics. They are traitors to the principles of Americanism.
The National Day of Prayer is concerning itself with the vast numbers of Christians being persecuted all over the world at present. An estimated 340 million people are under duress and persecution because of their faith. In places like North Korea, China, Afghanistan, Central African Nations, India, and other places, including, truth be told, America, at the hands of those in power who detest the Christian faith and do all they can to make life as hard as possible for believers, Christians are being harassed, oppressed and persecuted. May God remember and help each one to stay hopeful and faithful.

Man, give it a rest, would ya? Atheists, priding themselves on their intelligence, are really in the dark when it comes to simple civics. Individual members of the Federal, State or Local governments have a right to do whatever they want, as individuals. The National Day of Prayer is a tradition, not a law. "Congress shall make no law... ." Atheists need to get some facts down before they begin haranguing everyone in sight.
“Are we really still doing this in 2021?” FFRF co-president Annie Laurie Gaylor said in a statement. “Year after year, scandal after scandal, and still not a single prayer has been answered.”
Gaylor went on to say the separation of church and state is being disrespected with participants’ mixture of politics and faith and that “their god doesn’t give a fig for their mimosa-driven pleas.”
Number one, how would an atheist, not in the actual circumstances, know what prayers have been answered or not? Number two, the separation of church and state has ZIP to do with a traditional day of prayer among civil servants who profess belief in "Natures God." To make a claim for God, Himself, on what He cares about or does not, is the height of arrogance and, frankly, stupidity. Having spent my youth as an atheist, I find such commentary embarrassing, in and of itself but, as an American, wholly ridiculous and needing some severe education.
One must wonder, would atheists try to impeach Winsome Sears, the new Lieutenant Governor of VA, for thanking Jesus for her victory last Tuesday? I am not stating Christ helped her one way or the other but, she certainly has the freedom and liberty to proclaim that as an elected civil servant.
Confusion. That is the condition of our current world. It is the condition of prophetic, spiritual Babylon. We are there.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

411. Here It Comes - November 7, 2021
If you are fervently going to news sites that actually investigate and report news, not make it up as each day arrives, you know hospitals in various nations have begun to report massive entrance of sick people that do not have Covid or a variant. It's being called a "mystery" illness.
https://www.infowars.com/posts/hospitals-in-america-australia-and-sweden-are-swamped-with-people-sicker-than-ever-and-they-dont-have-covid/
In Michigan, a 72-bed emergency wing filled, and beds lining hallway walls with patients. What do they have? Myocarditis, blood clots, stomach pains, severe headaches, and a growing list of things that the "mystery" illness is producing, and cooperation by main stream news is spitting in the faces of the world. No. It is not a mystery to those who have been speaking out about the onslaught of injectable fluids being called "vaccines," with definitions being changed all over the place to accommodate this technological destroyer of human immune systems and blood life, and lunatics promoting them, and rising numbers of adverse effects now reaching totals, not even the real figures, that prove the entire event has been nothing but, a man-made, nefarious and diabolical enterprise to make money and reduce the human population to serfdom, if not casket occupants.
Never has the world seen such evil. The most barbaric societies in history could not match the designs of this wicked, satanic cabal in control of everything humanity has faced in the last two years, and is facing, and will yet face.
For those citizens who just cannot practice critical thinking, for whatever reasons... there is nothing to say. For those who do, and somehow cannot see what is actually, really happening at the hands of heartless, fiendish devils running the program, I hope you wake up at some point but, honestly, it does not matter. Two-thirds of Americans have been injected, and two-thirds of Americans are going to suffer unconscionable reactions, and when the little children begin reacting... there is going to be outrage beyond imagination but, the cabal already has their plans in place to handle it all.
What is going to happen when millions of people develop blood clots? The cabal will come out with another "vaccine" with cruel and vicious claims of its necessity to inject into everyone, to stop the wave of the "mystery" illness.
Another dystopian movie, a Dramedy, has been released about a man surviving some kind of holocaust, catastrophic string of man-made/natural disasters killing man-kind, who builds a robot to take care of a dog he has. He is dying from radiation poison. He feels the burden to see to it the dog is cared for. The A.I. robot will take care of his dilemma. The entire premise is fraught with intention of what is coming, one way or another. Hollywood has been putting these movies out for 30 years now. It's like they are part of the cabal, as well, priming the world for events that shall change everything, so nobody does much of anything to stop it when the reality strikes.
Bill Gates is out there talking about the necessity of a U.N. biological terrorist-attack police force to defend the world from weaponized smallpox and such. And there you have the intentions of these wicked excuses for human beings. The time has arrived for them to just state it right out what they are going to do. They will control the attacks and provide the force to keep things under control. It is just the Hegelian Dialectic played out over and over and over again. The controlled battle of opposites. Create the chaos, provide the remedy.
https://www.infowars.com/posts/red-alert-bill-gates-warns-bioterrorists-could-release-smallpox-at-airports/
It is here. The voices spoke out for a couple generations, even longer, about what would come if citizens did not hold their elected civil servants accountable and responsible to their oaths of office. Australia and New Zealand are gone. The top gig-holder in New Zealand, a Premier or whatever they have there, has come right out and said the only source of truth is the government and all other sources are to be considered misinformation. Those are lines right out of Orwell's, '1984.' It is astonishing these political tyrants can be so openly bold now but, they are. This is their moment and they are going full-tilt.
I'll say it again; God is mankind's only hope now. That's it. Christ is the only hope, not as just Saviour but, true King and Conquering Hero. And yet, prophecy predicts a false revival before the true. Events arriving to make it seem evil is being pushed back when evil is actually at the helm. Confusion shall abound. Satan is going in for the final spectacle of deceit and deception.
Do you get the picture; the bigger picture?
Even so, COME, Lord Jesus.

412. The Vatican, A.I., and Transhumanism - November 7, 2021
https://insidethevatican.com/magazine/the-world-and-the-church-meet-at-vaticans-health-conference/
That is a link to a very interesting report, from a Catholic Magazine and author, about this year's Conference on Health held at the Vatican, back in May. It's a truly disturbing read because, even Catholics, I state again, are confused on where Francis stands on normally standard Catholic positions on issues.
The conference was "attended" by individuals from many medical and other professional backgrounds. The opening three paragraphs contain enough information to realize the intent and direction the conference took:
The Vatican held its fifth Vatican Conference on Health, “Exploring the Mind, Body and Soul: How Innovation and Novel Delivery Systems Improve Human Health,” this spring, from May 6 to 8. World-famous presenters participated, ranging from corporate CEOs and heads of medical institutions to model Cindy Crawford and rock band Aerosmith’s lead guitarist Joe Perry. (Much of it was virtual.)
"Dr. Anthony Fauci, US Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and the United States’ chief Covid-response strategist, led off the three-day series of online sessions with a discussion of his approach to understanding public health threats and formulating responses to them. CEOs of Pfizer and Moderna spoke about Covid and vaccines developed by their respective corporations. Reports on the conference noted that much attention was given to Covid vaccines and overcoming vaccine “hesitancy.”
"Of particular interest to those looking at the future of the health sciences were discussions of “gene editing” and the recent technology known by the acronym CRISPR, developed to facilitate it. Changing our genetic codes, said conference participants, holds promise of correcting harmful genetic mutations that can cause disease. However, as conference presenter Jamie Metzl, prominent “futurist” and author of the book Hacking Darwin: Genetic Engineering and the Future of Humanity has warned, it opens up the possibility, even likelihood, that people will eventually use this technology in pursuit of creating a “superman,” and indeed a “super race,” as is the goal of the “Transhumanist” (and related “Posthumanist”) movements."
Please, read the article and others on that page. If you believe the Vatican is not part of the world cabal of control freaks, think again. While the site is pro-Catholic, the bewilderment is profuse.
While readership here has declined since I posted the 666 blog and yesterday's post on Daniel 7 and the antichrist, it would be foolish of me to be dissuaded from continuing commentary on Bible prophecy. Even if no one reads anything anymore but, people research other sites where information from a Protestant perspective is given, that's fine with me.
The Vatican is a State power. It is not just a church. It is a nation, with a head; the Popes. It has its own bank, it owns various properties and businesses all over the globe, through subsidiary corporations. It involves itself in international affairs, and has for over a thousand years. Right now, with it's 1+ billion adherents' lives under the influence of its "Papa," why would the Vatican hold a Conference with a line-up of the world's most medically notorious elements who are involved in this nefarious event? The Physician's Declaration Covid Summit was held in Rome this year and now, as of October 22, almost 13,000 physicians and medical professionals have signed the document calling for medical freedom from medical tyranny. Various websites have now been developed, with constant articles from medical professionals on what is happening and what can and should be done to address the virus and fallout from "vaccines." Would someone venture to state the Vatican is unaware of that meeting and the movement it has spawned, including the influence of Dr. Robert Malone, the man who invented the mRNA technology? To state so would be to reverse the well-known phrase. "Is the Pope Catholic?" Well, today, millions of Catholics aren't too sure anymore. The Sedevacantists have more material to prove their beliefs, than ever.
The article closed:
"It’s difficult to tell whether the real purpose of the conference was to present the truth or to just buy the Church a place at the world table: “We are trying to do important work to show that [the] Church can be a part of this discussion, that the Church can help people to be more sensitive,” he added. “So, if we only blame others and condemn others, what can we really achieve? No one cares today about our condemnations.”"
Indeed. The Church of Rome has long played the, "If you can't beat them, join them," game. It has been a strategy for centuries. The very understanding and practice of "the ends justify the means," has been a standard for the Jesuit order since its inception. Most Catholics have no idea the Jesuit order has been banned from most countries over the centuries, in some cases more than once, except for the United States.
I am enclosing a picture. It is a shot taken from the back of the Great Hall of Paul VI, the Vatican Auditorium. Nobody, even without a sense of pareidolia, mistakes what they see. And there is so much more on those 9+ acres.

The Great Hall of Paul VI, the Vatican Auditorium, holds over 6,000 people. It was designed and constructed in the 1970s. To say a serpent is not visible in the design is to state someone is blind. Why would such a design have been employed? The same reason many such serpents are seen in the Vatican because the Roman Church is just a continuation of much of the Roman empire, which used serpents throughout its realm to visualize the intent and power behind it - the ancient serpent deity, which Bible students know, is Satan. Impossible!, you say?
The Papal crest of Pope Gregory XIII, above the doors to the Gallery of Maps, at the Vatican. At the center is a winged serpent, or dragon. To see more, just take a look at a site dedicated to Gregory XIII and artwork surrounding his reign.
https://www.romeartlover.it/Gregorius.html
There are serpents/dragons in more artwork in the Vatican than any other place associated with religion in the world, save for China. Why? I will address that when we do the study on Revelation 13.
Suffice to say, "and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority"

UPDATE: 666
There are plenty of Catholic apologists out there who have taken it upon themselves, most being laymen, to undo the Protestant placement of the number 666 upon the popes, referring to the phrase Vicarius Filii Dei, which means Vicar of the Son of God. They like to claim it is not an "official" title of the popes; it's just a description. Fine with me. All the rest of the marks in Scripture, delineating the RCC and Papacy as the great falling away and enemy of Christ in prophecy, are also descriptive.
One thing that often intrigues, if not amuses me, is the Donation of Constantine. An enormous painting resides at the Vatican of emperor Constantine bequeathing the empire, in the form of a statue, into the hands of Pope Sylvester I. It is based on a document that proved to be one of the great forgeries of all time. Look it up. Plenty of info is out there about it.
Then thing is, the term "Vicarius Filii Dei" is in that document, and no Catholic argues that. While it is supposed to be a document from the 4th century, it was actually produced in the 8th century, by an unknown forger. It was proved to be a forgery in the 15th century. The Roman Catholic Church used that document for CENTURIES to establish its primacy in Western Europe. Now, they like to call it a forgery to remove any take at all upon the term, Vicarius Filii Dei. In my book, sorry, history is what it is. The term, the description, the supposed title may be fake but, so it the Papacy. It is a fake, man-made power and organization completely opposed to the Gospel of Christ. His "vicar" on Earth is the Holy Spirit, as He stated. It is not a pope, nor a priest one must confess sins to, nor is it any organized physical "ark of salvation." While gospel order is biblical, no membership in any denomination can save anyone. No allegiance to anything on Earth can save anyone from the penalty and power of sin. Personal allegiance to Christ, through the Spirit, unto the Father, to "Jerusalem above, the mother of us all," is the path to eternal life.
When I was a Catholic, I saw religion as an empty round of ceremonies. I found it easy to drift into agnosticism and atheism. I knew and know many sincere Catholics, and sincere people in all denominations. Regardless of how large they are, and what they do to promote good on earth, they cannot save a single soul. I know far more about Catholicism today then I ever knew before I was born-again, in 1979. I continue to learn things about the Church of Rome, the more research I do. It IS the power of apostasy in prophecy. If I were not sure of much else in life, of that I am certain.
As I stated in the 666 post, that number is not the premier evidence of the Papacy's rebellion against God. Nay. Even if it has nothing to do with a title or description of the office of a pope, it is an indictment of the man-made religion the Roman Catholic Church has stood for, for almost 2000 years. Its apostasy began right in the first century and picked up steam with each succeeding one, until the "Pontifex Maximus" - which is an "official" title of the pope - ruled the fading Roman empire, and through craft and manipulation kept it going for centuries beyond the end of the Caesars and emperors of Rome's long, pagan history.
There is one thing I know. Principle never has to back down in the face of policy. The policy of Rome is to rule when it can, and manipulate and ingratiate itself, when it cannot.
From the book, The Great Controversy, 1888, pg. 563 -
"Romanism is now regarded by Protestants with far greater favor than in former years. In those countries where Catholicism is not in the ascendency, and the papists are taking a conciliatory course in order to gain influence, there is an increasing indifference concerning the doctrines that separate the reformed churches from the papal hierarchy; the opinion is gaining ground, that, after all, we do not differ so widely upon vital points as has been supposed, and that a little concession on our part will bring us into a better understanding with Rome. The time was when Protestants placed a high value upon the liberty of conscience which has been so dearly purchased. They taught their children to abhor popery, and held that to seek harmony with Rome would be disloyalty to God. But how widely different are the sentiments now expressed."
From the 19th century Christian Journal, the Signs of the Times:
"The Lord has pronounced a curse upon those who take from or add to the Scriptures. The great I AM has decided what shall constitute the rule of faith and doctrine, and he has designed that the Bible shall be a household book. The church that holds to the word of God is irreconcilably separated from Rome. Protestants were once thus apart from this great church of apostasy, but they have approached more nearly to her, and are still in the path of reconciliation to the Church of Rome. Rome never changes. Her principles have not altered in the least. She has not lessened the breach between herself and Protestants; they have done all the advancing. But what does this argue for the Protestantism of this day? It is the rejection of Bible truth which makes men approach to infidelity. It is a backsliding church that lessens the distance between itself and the Papacy.
"It is souls like Luther, Cranmer, Ridley, Hooper, and the thousands of noble men who were martyrs for the truth's sake, who are the true Protestants. They stood as faithful sentinels of truth, declaring that Protestantism is incapable of union with Romanism, but must be as far separated from the principles of the Papacy as is the east from the west. Such advocates of truth could no more harmonize with "the man of sin" than could Christ and his apostles. In earlier ages the righteous felt that it was impossible to affiliate with Rome, and, though their antagonism to this system of error was maintained at risk of property and life, yet they had courage to maintain their separation, and manfully struggled for the truth. Bible truth was dearer to them than wealth, honor, or even life itself. They could not endure to see the truth buried under a mass of superstition and lying sophistry. They took the word of God in their hands, and raised the standard of truth before the people, boldly declaring that which God had revealed unto them through diligent searching of the Bible. They died the cruelest of deaths for their fidelity to God, but by their blood they purchased for us liberties and privileges that many who claim to be Protestants are easily yielding up to the power of evil. But shall we yield up these dearly bought privileges? Shall we offer insult to the God of heaven, and, after he has freed us from the Romish yoke, again place ourselves in bondage to this antichristian power? Shall we prove our degeneracy by signing away our religious liberty, our right to worship God according to the dictates of our own conscience? February 19, 1894
Regardless of the subject matter; critical thinking, weighing evidence, remaining true to principle are and will ever be the benchmarks for gleaning and understanding truth.

The church that holds to the word of God is irreconcilably separated from Rome. Protestants were once thus apart from this great church of apostasy, but they have approached more nearly to her, and are still in the path of reconciliation to the Church of Rome. Rome never changes. Her principles have not altered in the least. She has not lessened the breach between herself and Protestants; they have done all the advancing. But what does this argue for the Protestantism of this day? It is the rejection of Bible truth which makes men approach to infidelity. It is a backsliding church that lessens the distance between itself and the Papacy.
"It is souls like Luther, Cranmer, Ridley, Hooper, and the thousands of noble men who were martyrs for the truth's sake, who are the true Protestants. They stood as faithful sentinels of truth, declaring that Protestantism is incapable of union with Romanism, but must be as far separated from the principles of the Papacy as is the east from the west. Such advocates of truth could no more harmonize with "the man of sin" than could Christ and his apostles. In earlier ages the righteous felt that it was impossible to affiliate with Rome, and, though their antagonism to this system of error was maintained at risk of property and life, yet they had courage to maintain their separation, and manfully struggled for the truth. Bible truth was dearer to them than wealth, honor, or even life itself. They could not endure to see the truth buried under a mass of superstition and lying sophistry. They took the word of God in their hands, and raised the standard of truth before the people, boldly declaring that which God had revealed unto them through diligent searching of the Bible. They died the cruelest of deaths for their fidelity to God, but by their blood they purchased for us liberties and privileges that many who claim to be Protestants are easily yielding up to the power of evil. But shall we yield up these dearly bought privileges? Shall we offer insult to the God of heaven, and, after he has freed us from the Romish yoke, again place ourselves in bondage to this antichristian power? Shall we prove our degeneracy by signing away our religious liberty, our right to worship God according to the dictates of our own conscience? February 19, 1894
Regardless of the subject matter; critical thinking, weighing evidence, remaining true to principle are and will ever be the benchmarks for gleaning and understanding truth.

413. Breaking News, Serious "Spike" Education - November 8, 2021
I assume I have had Covid because, last year I went through a week of a strange headache and dry cough. Never had it before. My wife had the same but, a little worse, and for a little longer.
Over a year later, though I feel fine, I sense a lack of oxygenation in my upper chest, especially when exercising or playing drums. I just figured it's part of getting older. I find it a little difficult to take a strong, full intake of air.
Today, I watched an interview with Dr. Peter McCullough, world-renowned heart physician working out of Dallas, Texas. He's a fairly mellow guy, soft spoken, direct but, passionate about the effects of this Covid event. As time has gone on, his demeanor is getting far more serious and outspoken. His recent interview with Alex Jones is a tour de force of information on what is and is going to happen because of the virus and especially, the injections.
New research shows the spike proteins can stay in your system for 15 months. Symptoms can persist, return, morph and show up in different ways until the immune system ultimately kicks it out. Once that happens, the strengthened immune system become THE greatest preventative against variants and mutations. That is the science being discovered all over the globe, which the medical, tyrannical cabal does not want people to know and understand. They have completely reversed every aspect of truth and news about this event. The lies have become unbearable.
Once injected, once, twice and receive booster shots, the human system is unable to deal with the onslaught of spike proteins growing within it. Therefore, the complete overdrive of the cabal to push and push harder for everybody to receive two or even three shots and boosters.
McCullough is not a doom and gloomer. He says there is hope for those injected that have not experienced any serious effects, after 1 or even 2 shots. People need to be aware and have blood tests to make sure things are okay, though. Do not take booster shots. The idea of injecting anybody under 30 is totally non-medical science, from McCullough's point of view but, small children? That is heinous.
For me, I'll keep trucking and dump this gig at some point. I'm taking the various things being suggested by the medical community that actually cares about defeating this thing once and for all.
Time will tell how this works out for all humanity.

414. A GREAT QUESTION - November 9, 2021
So, I head over to Red Voice Media's site this morning and a video is there that has someone asking a question, and what a question it is! Simple, honest, to the point and very direct. A 30 second video is all that is needed to ram the whole point home without data, without studies, research, investigation, testimonies and all the rest. Without all that, everyone still has a valid reason not to cooperate and comply.
“You are telling me it’s needed. It’s required. It will stave off COVID-19. I just have one question before I put the vaccine in my arm, and I challenge all of us to ask this question and wait for an answer. Are you ready? Here we go. Why the f**k should we trust you mother f**kers?... I’ll wait.”
https://www.redvoicemedia.com/2021/11/watch-man-challenges-everyone-to-ask-this-one-powerful-question-to-those-pushing-the-covid-jab/?utm_source=home-headline
Not the most polite question I have ever heard but, certainly one of the best; and so good, in fact, in this day and age it could be used for a host of subjects, maybe most all subjects.
Think if you were asked that question. How would you answer? How would the closest people in your life answer? How would your employer answer? How would you answer your employees?
HOW WOULD ALL POLITICIANS ANSWER THAT QUESTION???
I would submit, most of them could not answer that question truthfully. They have nothing to offer for evidence.
Most people in positions of authority could not answer that question truthfully.
Do people trust you? Why? Do they have reason to? You can be sure we all have a track record that would show why people should not trust us, for one reason or another, at some point in our lives. Human beings are so frail, the strongest of us can be tempted and fall. Remaining true to principle as the needle is to the pole, is the destination people of faith strive for. Gaining and holding trust is the biggest factor in all human relationships.
I just changed my virus protection this morning. I have been using a free subscription for years and it has worked okay for my needs on the web. I decided this day I would purchase more protection. I was just about to click the button to pay, when I thought I would read the cancellation policy of the company, which was highlighted and underlined. Good night in the morning! What a complex and ridiculous, jump through hoops policy. I closed out the window, did some searching and found that company, used by hundreds of millions of people, was found to be sending user information to a third party company they owned, who sold it to big retailers, etc. and did so for seven years before being caught! Did they tell their subscribers? No. Were it not for a guy into investigating these kinds of things, who blew the whistle, and a U.S. senator who tweeted he was going to begin an investigation, this situation would still be going on.
The company dropped the third part company they owned and operated, as the scandal grew but, for me, TRUST EVAPORATED. I cannot think of a far more serious breach of trust than that which you put into a virus protection company.
In the world of religion, organized religion, enormous trust factors play out day to day. Trust in ministries and clergy to proclaim the truth, trust in financial areas, as they are supported, trusting children in their care in various activities... it's a long list of constant trust factors happening every week, of every year. Constant scandals show trust was misplaced so often, it puts a dark cloud over all churches and ministries. The Roman Catholic Church pedophile scandals have been raging for decades now. Evangelical clergy and ministries engaging in all kinds of sin and corruption. Hey, I know nobody is perfect and we all fall but, when the trust factor between parties is either never established or broken somehow, it's a big deal. I remember the Jimmy Swaggert and PTL scandals back in the 80s. Today, a long list of scandals can be compiled of shocking revelations made about the most revered people in ministry. We shake our heads in disbelief. How can it be? Because humans are weak if not abiding in Christ, literally, moment by moment. It is not just the title of a hymn. It is a fact of spiritual life.
That man asked the most salient question of our times. Why should we trust pharmaceutical companies, politicians, the Fauci medical cabal, the CDC, the FDA, the WHO, China, the Biden administration, any and all pushing injections, when they disregard, neglect, reject, marginalize, vilify, and fight against THOUSANDS of medical professionals, news outlets interviewing them and reporting their professional findings and reasoning, and even government lowball statistics of what the injections are doing to people, every minute of every day, with a malicious and vacant main stream press supporting the cover-up?
We can not trust the main stream press to tell the truth. They are part of the corporate cabal pushing the agenda. We cannot trust the agencies and players associated because they have been caught lying, over and over again. We cannot trust politicians who waffle and even tell flagrant, gross lies about this event and everything else happening in D.C., or most every country on Earth, because they lie and twist the truth with abandon.
Who can we trust?
For me, as weak and foolish as I am, as faulty and malfunctioning; I trust Christ, the Creator. Why? He died for us, so we can live. He did not have to. He chose to. He is the truth, the way, and the life. He is trustworthy. He proved it, and proves it everyday to those who will and do trust Him. Iesou Christos can be trusted.
All of that which we cannot trust, would be trustworthy, if everyone placed their trust in Christ and just sought to live the Golden Rule - Do to others as you would have them do to you. Just that one principle, if faithfully and sincerely applied at all times, would dramatically and drastically change the entire world.
Unfortunately, that principle is fading faster with each passing day. That is why Christ said, before He returns, the love of many will grow cold. That is why He asked, when He returns, will He find faith on the Earth? That is why the Bible states only a remnant, only a small part of the world's population, will be faithful and obedient to God's will and commandments in the last days.
That man's question is so important, its necessity to go astronomically viral is acute.
Who do you trust? Why do you trust them? Why should you trust them? Can they truly be trusted, especially with your life? That is the issue, both in the temporal affairs of this event, and most importantly, with eternal affairs.
God says to test Him, to prove Him, to implore Him to show He is trustworthy for your allegiance and affections, spirit, soul, and body, to be placed upon Him.
In 42 years of practicing the Christian faith, private ministry in homes or public seminars and preaching for a great deal of those years, I never met a person who could say anything negative about Jesus Christ. They may not understand Him. They may not like what they see as restrictions upon their choices in life but, ask them to sincerely reflect on why those restrictions are made and why Christ gave them, they may still reject Christ but, not the reason for the restrictions themselves. Christ was right. Christ can be trusted. The reasons for that are innumerable. When we are weak, He is strong. Nobody who ever lived, had the internal might and strength of Yeshua Messiah.
Consider Him.
Even so, Come, Lord Jesus.

415. The Spartacus Letter - November 9, 2021
I just got an email from a friend that sent me to a link showing the Spartacus Letter. It is a 48 page open letter to the world, with 550 footnotes. That is not a typo. I don't think I have ever seen a 48 page letter with 31 of those pages, footnote.. Heavily documented. Ya think?
The group putting the letter out is named ICENI - Institute for Coronavirus Immergence Non-profit Intelligence.
https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21ABJ0uPPqsRXjGq8&cid=9CD1499205284186&id=9CD1499205284186%2112052&parId=root&o=OneUp
The letter's opening will give you the info necessary to know what's in the document:
"Hello,
My name is Spartacus, and I’ve had enough.
We have been forced to watch America and the Free World spin into inexorable decline due to a biowarfare attack. We, along with countless others, have been victimized and gaslit by propaganda and psychological warfare operations being conducted by an unelected, unaccountable Elite against the American people and our allies.
Our mental and physical health have suffered immensely over the course of the past year and a half. We have felt the sting of isolation, lockdown, masking, quarantines, and other completely nonsensical acts of healthcare theater that have done absolutely nothing to protect the health or wellbeing of the public from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Now, we are watching the medical establishment inject literal poison into millions of our fellow Americans without so much as a fight.
We have been told that we will be fired and denied our livelihoods if we refuse to vaccinate. This was the last straw.
We have spent thousands of hours analyzing leaked footage from Wuhan, scientific papers from primary sources, as well as the paper trails left by the medical establishment.
What we have discovered would shock anyone to their core.
First, we will summarize our findings, and then, we will explain them in detail. References will be placed at the end."
The last footnote, #550, is a link to a document put forth by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Counsel of Europe, titled:
The brain-computer interface: new rights or new threats to fundamental freedoms?
https://pace.coe.int/pdf/530e7fc5f84b879f4cdced9fb1de7fb70a569dc30e935e46bb686ab365275afe/resolution%202344.pdf
It is a document produced in October of 2020, addressing the science of BCI: Brain - Computer Interface. The science of nanoparticle computers used in the brains of humans for various results. They are real, they exist, they can be used for nefarious purposes, and the document is a recommendation for restrictions to be placed on the science and its applications.
I have told you, over and over, truth always comes out. Truth just finds its way into any discussion where people are looking for it, regardless of those who would like it hidden. In the case of the world elitist cabal, NWO, Great Reset, they are so confident of success, they have little reason to believe anything needs now to be hidden: they shall be victorious in their agenda to control the global populace, is what they have determined and pursue.
So, while the world is heaping gross misconduct on the part of researchers finding strange particles and substances in the vaccine vials, the information behind what they may be finding is already out there, in the open, telling humanity what is coming.
A 17 page letter, with 550 footnotes, filled with mind-blowing information.
When Dr. Zev Zelenko first called this event the distribution out of a bioweapon, he was not just ahead of the curve, he could see, just from the side issues and basic news, something was seriously wrong. Now, the data, the science is there to prove it all. HUMANITY IS UNDER ATTACK. Dr. Zelenko now calls it first degree murder. A cursory assessment would show him correct. A detailed assessment is grounds for massive civil uprising and disobedience.
https://www.redvoicemedia.com/video/2021/11/video-covid-jabs-are-premeditated-first-degree-murder-says-dr-zelenko/

416. Astroworld - November 10, 2021
If you were wondering if I'd comment on last Friday night's Astroworld festival, down in Houston, here are my thoughts, after looking at some things in the last few days.
Houston. Astroworld. 8 dead. Hundreds effected by something few seem to understand. Testimony from concert goers, who showed up early in the day, that odd frequencies and sounds blasting from PA systems were causing headaches and fainting all over the grounds. Based on fan testimony, many left the grounds before the concert began, no longer able to deal with the effects of the frequencies and sounds pummeling them all day long. Many pled with festival security and medical personnel to stop the sounds but, to no avail.
By the time the Scott set began, it was a definite, typical satanic scene of props, effects and attitude. More fainting people, and right in front of the stage a dead youth passed over the crowd as Scott sang "Dead," in an eerie and creepy way.
Scott's apologies and condolences are falling on deaf ears of those in attendance, who saw what happened to people all around them, and Scott's reactions from the stage.
I wrote about the effects of frequencies quite some time ago. It's a fascinating subject. While most Western music is tuned to A440, other frequencies exist that are more than pleasant. They can seem to make your blood jump and sizzle inside your veins. That's how I describe it.
I'm sure you know of long held experiments in frequency science where various tones can cause water, sand, salt and other things vibrate into incredible figures and shapes on metal plates. Falling water can be bent by various frequencies. YT is filled with videos of it all. Just type in 'sound therapy frequencies,' and a myriad of videos will pop up: 432 and 528Hz are favorites but, music created around many different frequencies have been put together. Some are incredibly relaxing.
Here's an online tone generator you can sample:
https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/
You will notice, as you go further up the scale, sound can become, not just aggravating but, harmful. Around 650Hz my eardrums begin vibrating. By the time I get to the 700 range, I have to stop the generator. At around 1200Hz things calm down again.
I don't know what frequency was played over the PA system at Astroworld but, it had a definite deleterious effect on the crowd.
The questions being asked, logically; was this some kind of experiment? Does it have to do with 5G? With the vaccines? With crowd control? With crowd coercion? Mental manipulation? Creation of a live, real-time PTSD experiment? The truth will eventually come out. Suffice to say some of the young people there were scared stiff, literally. They testified they could not move. Somehow a wave, two waves of people began pushing back and forth, one moving forward, the other pushing back to avoid being crushed at the front barriers. Eight young people perished in the chaos. Many dozens, to testified hundreds were hurt.
I see no reason to believe this was not some kind of foul experiment. This Covid event has shown the world, evil is not just among us but, attempting to control us, if not actually kill us.
The more people ask questions - and they deserve answers, especially parents of youth killed or hurt at the concert - the more the Press will deflect and begin the disinformation campaign. Answers will come from those willing to stand up and present science and history and money trails, and character assessments, and details of management and crowd control problems, etc., etc., and the truth will emerge, just like it has with Covid.
How many will believe the truth, based on the evidence, and how many will reject and just go with the flow of "official" explanations? Just look at what has already taken place in the last couple generations - the JFK assassination, the MLK assassination, Ruby Ridge, Waco, 9/11, Las Vegas, Covid, just to name some things that suffer wide differences between official explanations, versus trails of evidence telling far different stories.
Critical thinking. It always comes back to that. Who has the capacity to weigh evidence and draw logical conclusions and who does not have that capacity and just trust and believe whatever they are told by hand-picked "experts" and officials in place to explain things?
The handlers of wicked events, false-flag operations, and all the rest, want no one to have the capacity to employ critical thinking. They just want quiet compliance. They are working toward that goal.
Houston. Astroworld. 8 dead. Hundreds effected by something few seem to understand. Testimony from concert goers, who showed up early in the day, that odd frequencies and sounds blasting from PA systems were causing headaches and fainting all over the grounds. Based on fan testimony, many left the grounds before the concert began, no longer able to deal with the effects of the frequencies and sounds pummeling them all day long. Many pled with festival security and medical personnel to stop the sounds but, to no avail.
By the time the Scott set began, it was a definite, typical satanic scene of props, effects and attitude. More fainting people, and right in front of the stage a dead youth passed over the crowd as Scott sang "Dead," in an eerie and creepy way.
Scott's apologies and condolences are falling on deaf ears of those in attendance, who saw what happened to people all around them, and Scott's reactions from the stage.
I wrote about the effects of frequencies quite some time ago. It's a fascinating subject. While most Western music is tuned to A440, other frequencies exist that are more than pleasant. They can seem to make your blood jump and sizzle inside your veins. That's how I describe it.
I'm sure you know of long held experiments in frequency science where various tones can cause water, sand, salt and other things vibrate into incredible figures and shapes on metal plates. Falling water can be bent by various frequencies. YT is filled with videos of it all. Just type in 'sound therapy frequencies,' and a myriad of videos will pop up: 432 and 528Hz are favorites but, music created around many different frequencies have been put together. Some are incredibly relaxing.
Here's an online tone generator you can sample:
https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/
You will notice, as you go further up the scale, sound can become, not just aggravating but, harmful. Around 650Hz my eardrums begin vibrating. By the time I get to the 700 range, I have to stop the generator. At around 1200Hz things calm down again.
I don't know what frequency was played over the PA system at Astroworld but, it had a definite deleterious effect on the crowd.
The questions being asked, logically; was this some kind of experiment? Does it have to do with 5G? With the vaccines? With crowd control? With crowd coercion? Mental manipulation? Creation of a live, real-time PTSD experiment? The truth will eventually come out. Suffice to say some of the young people there were scared stiff, literally. They testified they could not move. Somehow a wave, two waves of people began pushing back and forth, one moving forward, the other pushing back to avoid being crushed at the front barriers. Eight young people perished in the chaos. Many dozens, to testified hundreds were hurt.
I see no reason to believe this was not some kind of foul experiment. This Covid event has shown the world, evil is not just among us but, attempting to control us, if not actually kill us.
The more people ask questions - and they deserve answers, especially parents of youth killed or hurt at the concert - the more the Press will deflect and begin the disinformation campaign. Answers will come from those willing to stand up and present science and history and money trails, and character assessments, and details of management and crowd control problems, etc., etc., and the truth will emerge, just like it has with Covid.
How many will believe the truth, based on the evidence, and how many will reject and just go with the flow of "official" explanations? Just look at what has already taken place in the last couple generations - the JFK assassination, the MLK assassination, Ruby Ridge, Waco, 9/11, Las Vegas, Covid, just to name some things that suffer wide differences between official explanations, versus trails of evidence telling far different stories.
Critical thinking. It always comes back to that. Who has the capacity to weigh evidence and draw logical conclusions and who does not have that capacity and just trust and believe whatever they are told by hand-picked "experts" and officials in place to explain things?
The handlers of wicked events, false-flag operations, and all the rest, want no one to have the capacity to employ critical thinking. They just want quiet compliance. They are working toward that goal.

417. Here's What Is Coming - November 10, 2021
I mentioned to my wife a couple weeks ago, the only thing that would actually change the tyranny is if the tyrants begin to succumb to the effects of the injections. Now that people in the semi-closer circles of minions around Gavin Newsome, tyrant governor of California, claim he is experiencing serious side effects from his booster shot and has not been seen in public since Oct. 27th, Bell's Palsy to be more precise, perhaps a series of dominoes will begin to fall. Of course, BP is not necessarily permanent so, maybe the clan in CA are just waiting for Newsome to get over the effects. On the other hand... if he has fallen to one, more are logically in store.
Of course, anyone in politics that is just a pawn to the Great Reset agenda, will be quaking in their shoes if they have received the injections, and those who have not, will not. "Okay for me but, not for thee," has become the chorus for the biggest despotic song in history.
Let me share with you what is coming. How soon? I cannot say. No one can but, what we do know is this is coming at some point, and I base this on predicted signs that existed in past history, as Christ referred to them as "the days of Noah." Make no mistake about this, these things are either here and growing, or coming, and will bring about a condition of things the world, as a body of people, have only seen once before.
Gen 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
The Hebrew word translated 'evil' is "ra" or "ra'ah." It's a word with various translations but, essentially it just means "bad." Mankind imagined bad things all the time, thought upon them, practiced bad things, continually.
Who gets to describe "bad?" Who gets to define "bad?" God does, not man. And God's determination of what is "bad" is far broader than man's determination.
When the Bible states, "as a man thinks in his heart, so is he," a principle, a truth is stated that has the deepest meaning any human can come face to face with. In God's eyes a man is not what he does. A man is what he thinks, which is the foundation for what he does, the springboard, the genesis of all actions. Most people can think and hold off acting on really bad thoughts. The younger one is, the more potential for acting on thoughts and saying or doing things they regret but, any person, any age; I would state every person, every age, has constant potential for thinking bad things and eventually doing them. The entire world was filled with such examples in the days of Noah. Bad existed everywhere. The same is happening again. Wickedness is everywhere. Somehow, the very English word became popular for something cool back in the 80s and 90s. "Wicked" meant something acceptable to people. It still does.
Gen 6:11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
Gen 6:12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
I write about corruption often because that sign is so prevalent and expansive now, it is impossible to miss for anyone with any spiritual sense. There is nothing, no institution that has not experienced the effects of corruption upon it.
The Hebrew word means "decay." When something decays, it breaks down. When the rule of law breaks down or decays, violence results. Violence has always been around but, America and Europe and all continents, really, have been watching violence build in all sectors of society never seen before on such nationwide scales. In America, the summer of 2020 showed the nature of violence that broke down from any rule of law and cities burned, were broken and still are, as even now looting takes place in broad daylight and nothing is done. But, this is all just the beginning. Violence, like corruption, the decay of civilized society, will continue and get worse.
Consider how the young play endless hours of digital games composed of little but, violence. The more precise the software becomes, the more gross the flow of blood. Same with violence in movies and television. Back when I was a kid, romantic comedies seemed to be the lion's share of movies released. Today? Crime and horror movies have that share. The more detailed the blood, the more viewers like it. What happens when movies run out of gas for gore? Some people believe "The Purge" is going to become reality. Time will tell. Violence is going to grow, exponentially.
Another event had signs that correlate to our time. The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities of the plains in the days of Lot and Abraham.
Aside from God using Sodom as a sign for problems Israel fell into, with pride, lots of food to eat, nice homes to live in, laxness, frivolity, and making money, the last days of Sodom and Gomorrah were a scene of something building in our world that shall not be stopped. Homosexuality. Recent surveys show a majority of "millennials," consider themselves part of the LGBTQ sector of society.
Open, bold, even violent homosexuality caused the destruction of the cities of the plains, found in Genesis 19.
Gen 19:4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
Gen 19:5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
A social get together, a welcome wagon? Nay. The term "know" in the Hebrew is "yada." Yes, that yada; as in yada, yada, yada, a la the Jerry Seinfeld show. It is the same yada as in, Adam "knew" his wife, and they had a son.
The inhabitants of Sodom, all the men of the city, pressed upon Lot to give them his guests so they could sexually abuse them to their pleasure, however they wanted.
God told Abraham if just ten righteous people existed in Sodom, He would not destroy it. He destroyed it.
The homosexual movement may be the greatest sign of the times that Christ is returning soon. It does not matter what you think of it. It is not going away, it shall grow and ultimately be accepted by the entire world. Impossible, you say? You can say it. God's word defeats it, and all other naysaying about what He has told about the end, from the beginning, so we can know He is God, and there is no other.
Wickedness, evil, corruption, violence, sexual perversity. It will all get worse as the effect of it all breaks down civilization. What would you try and do to stem the tide of all that, if your time on earth was bound to controlling it all? Think about it.
The Devil knows he has but a short time, since the crucifixion of Christ, is what the Bible says. Two thousand years is a month to extraterrestrial creatures: angels, who have existed for who knows, but God, how long. Nobody knows when angels were created, or how long they have existed. Satan knows his time is short, though. What could be done to delay the inevitable: his destruction in the cleansing fire of God's glory at the end of all time? How about an attempt to mellow everybody out but, keep them under your control? He is, after all, the ruler of this world, prince of the power of the air. He does not want to perish for his rebellion. He likes having such influence and control over humanity. His gig is pain and suffering, deception and deceit. He hates God. He hates humanity. I'm sure he hates himself. He's enjoying himself, though. But, the eventual fulfilling of unrighteousness throughout the world means his time is marked. Christ is returning to end his reign of terror and woe. What could Satan do to slow things down and stretch out his reign?
Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, in 1971, has stated what he and his cohorts are after: genetic modification of all humans to make them "happy" and mellow, compliant and controllable, so the world can exist in a veritable paradise and chimerical "green" utopia. They want to balance everything, and everybody gets along in a world without corruption. It sounds so good, why would anyone reject it? Because Heaven shall not exist on Earth until God establishes it, through Christ, not Klaus Schwab. And so, this event, this virus/vaccine event, spoken of as the Great Reset for Schwab and his elitist cabal, is Satan's attempt to gain time, to keep everything from spinning out of control, which signals his end as the ruler of this world.
"Let’s listen to Klaus Schwab dictating: “The fourth industrial revolution will affect the very essence of our human experience”! This new era of the Great Reset will: “lead to a fusion of our physical, digital and biological identity”.
https://wsimag.com/economy-and-politics/64272-our-freedom-versus-schwabism
Sovereign states are abandoned, abolished. Everything homogenizes into one, big, happy, human family, controlled by technology in humans, not for humans. Transhumanism.
Of course, to the elitists who believe they are gods and capable of addressing all world problems through their intervention, this is all a "conspiracy theory." I don't how something becomes a theory when Schwab has been quoted dozens of times about what he is after. At the WEF website, it all looks so utopian but, their intentions are there for anyone to see. They don't hide it. They believe this Great Reset of divesting everyone of property and rights and personal gain, and just providing everyone with a basic income, basic housing, basic life all humanity can have, to equalize it all and balance it all, is so nefarious it staggers the imagination.
Something will take place to see that utopian hell does not manifest. Millions, billions may die but, God will have a people, a remnant, that shall keep the commandments of God and have the faith and testimony of Jesus to warn the world of what is happening, via the Three Angel's Messages of Revelation 14, and the final cry of Revelation 18. Look them up. See what is proclaimed and has been since the 1800s. Detours of the weaknesses of mankind among God's servants has kept this boat floating on a sea without chart or compass for a long time now but, that shall change at some point. God shall take the reigns and this wagon is going to blast through every barrier and the final events will be rapid ones.
I'll get into a verse by verse look at those messages in the times ahead.
Nonetheless, it will get ugly beyond description before Christ returns. We have been warned. We have been exposed to what is going to happen, so we can prepare. It is happening now. It will grow and expand and become global. The world is going to end. Whether or you not you believe it makes no difference. God is in control. Not man, and certainly not Satan. God sits on His throne, Sovereign over all.
If He says the end of this world shall be like the days of Noah and the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, that is exactly what He means.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
UPDATE: Apparently Gavin Newsome was seen at a wedding last weekend, wearing a mask, and did not attend the reception. While phones were reportedly taken at the door, Vogue got a picture of him standing in the background in one of its exclusive shots. So much for inside information about his condition.
Of course, anyone in politics that is just a pawn to the Great Reset agenda, will be quaking in their shoes if they have received the injections, and those who have not, will not. "Okay for me but, not for thee," has become the chorus for the biggest despotic song in history.

418. Australia Pleads For Help - November 11, 2021
In America, November 11th is a day the Veterans of the Armed Forces are honored. Men and women who gave their lives and the living who still carry a love for America in their hearts, even through all the pain and suffering so many beheld during their time in a uniform. America has been worth the fight for them, though so many are now seeing a side of government and military command they had not seen before, or did but, it was not close enough to them to recoil in disgust. Now, being forced to receive a potentially deadly injection or be drummed out of the military with a dishonorable discharge, KNOWING of those who have already suffered severe reactions or death to the shots, they are against the wall, having to make a decision NO HUMAN BEING should be asked to make, let alone those willing to put life on the line to serve their country and family they serve to protect from hostile entities abroad. When those hostile entities are at home... our hearts go out to them.
While Democrat states, run by political hacks and despots, suffer under various aspects of tyranny; in Australia, an entire continent suffers under the heavy-handed weight of the New Word Order.
I have written about the situation there for months. I know what is happening there yet, I must admit, at the end of this 4 minute video, tears filled my eyes.
Australia is part of American culture. It has been a travel destination desired by so many, and many end up staying there because of the freedoms enjoyed. Because the nation cares about it immigrants and their affect on their culture, immigration must be accompanied with sponsorship and promise of employment.
The Sydney Opera House is known by most, if not all the civilized world. In America, while I have never eaten there, Outback Steakhouse is a commercial everyone has seen or heard at some point. Crocodile Dundee and Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter have engraved places in the American palette of influences on this culture.
As a drummer, I know some of the finest instruments on the planet come from the many specialized species of trees only known in Australia.
Australia began as a British penal colony. Today, the entire continent has become a prison, all based on a virus that poses no more threat to Australians than the yearly flu. What has happened in Australia, from the viewpoint of someone living in the freedom and liberty of Texas, is shocking, stunning, outrageously abominable and reprehensible. Harassment, oppression, and persecution is now the fabric of that once great nation/continent. It is jaw dropping.
THIS is what is going to happen to all the world, if citizens of the world do not raise their free voices of liberty and speak up, cry out, and stand firm against medical tyranny and the wicked, evil New World Order/"Great Reset" of destruction of all economies, all property ownership, all freedoms and liberties, all sense of humanity, lost to the despicable plans of transhumanism elitists want all remaining humanity enveloped with; ruled, owned and literally operated by nefarious technology.
Watch this video. See what is there? It is going everywhere where people do not rise up against it now, before it hits.
https://rumble.com/voz9ro-australians-beg-the-world-for-help-this-is-an-official-sos-message.html
I will add a video by British physician and author, Dr. Vernon Coleman. He lays out the situation for the entire planetary population if the medical tyranny is NOT STOPPED. Even if it is, the risk of an extinction event is real; actually, seriously real, because of what has been unleashed upon humanity.
https://rumble.com/vmxtmh-share-this-everywhere-an-old-man-in-a-chair-the-most-important-video-i-will.html?mref=23gga&mrefc=5
Do I sound defeated? Like I keep saying, this event must become a God event soon; a God intervention, a Divine appointment or He will not have to destroy the world by fire, unless it would be to cleanse the microscopic invaders from land, sea and air that shall be left. Yes, that will eventually come, anyway, per the judgment of God upon the wicked but, I'm talking now. Medical professionals the world over are warning now, NOW something must be done or humanity is on the precipice.
God help us.

419. The Dangers of Biblical Ignorance - November 12, 2021
There is a curse upon the church down through the ages; biblical ignorance. Especially does that become a problem when people in positions of authority and responsibility are ignorant of what the Bible teaches. Untold problems are created. I just read something that is a perfect example.
I already commented on NY Gov. Kathy Hochul's sermon on everybody getting vaccinated because it is God's will. Yeah... NO. She was a guest speaker, she's not in a church position of authority, that I know of, and she got blasted pretty good on social media for that and other biblically ignorant and foolish claims she made.
But here is a quote from someone claiming to be in a position of authority. In an article about the government being okay with having a church speak for it, as long as it promotes the injections, a Presbyterian minister is quoted in the opinion piece below:
"Across the United States, government officials are using God to sell the public on more COVID vaccinations. Nobody seems to mind, least of all the American Civil Liberties Union.
The Washington state Department of Health produced an ad featuring Presbyterian minister Liz Kearney. Dressed in her clerical collar, Kearney offers a mini-sermon: “There’s actually very little in the Bible about protecting our personal rights, but there is a lot about responsibility to one’s neighbor.” Lest viewers miss the religious nature of Kearney’s message, they are shown a stained glass window and an oversized Bible.
Maybe Kearney’s interpretation of the Bible is correct. Maybe it’s not. But since when are leftists fine with having the government use tax dollars to promote a state-sponsored Bible lesson? They’ve cried “separation of church and state!” at far less overt connections to religion."

I can assure Mr. West, the author of the article, that Kearney's interpretation is not correct. Not even close. Yes, the Bible has plenty to say about loving our neighbors. It also says something extremely important about personal rights, and it came to my mind instantly, in reading her remark. It's found in the book of Acts, chapter 21 - the apostle Paul visiting Jerusalem. He's not popular with the Jews and they see him in the temple and a riot breaks out. He asks the Roman captain of the guard if he can speak to the people and is allowed. He speaks, people flip out and scream for him to be hauled away as a criminal, rabble rouser. The guard is trying to figure out how this guy can cause such a ruckus and they take him into a nearby building to scourge him and get him to talk. Here's the dialogue:
Act 22:25 And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?
Act 22:26 When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.
Act 22:27 Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea.
Act 22:28 And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.
Act 22:29 Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
Here is a prime example of Paul protecting his personal rights made in the rule of law of the Roman empire of his time. It happens again, in chapter 23. Certain Jews make an oath not to eat or drink until they kill Paul. They conspire with the religious leaders on how to pull it off. Paul's nephew hears the plot, goes to see Paul, now locked up because of another riot caused by his speaking the truth, and tells Paul what is happening. What does Paul do? Tell the young guy not to worry about it? No, he seeks to protect his personal rights and he tells his nephew to go and tell the chief captain what he heard. Off he goes, the captain hears him out, decides to put together a small army, with Paul seated on a horse and sent off with incredible protection to see the governor, because he's a Roman citizen, and sends a letter to the governor, with the guard, explaining the situation. The governor reads the letter and tells Paul he'll hear what he has to say and do so when his accusers arrive to confront him.
The Jews bring a big entourage, and have a famous orator speak against Paul. Paul speaks, and the governor tells Paul he'd like to hear more, another time. Paul is kept under house arrest. When that time arrives, Felix asks Paul to share more of his testimony and his faith. Felix' wife is a Jewess, so he is familiar with aspects of the faith, and when Paul tells him anything and everything allowed, Felix draws aback, under conviction. He knows Paul should go free but, to show the Jews a favor, he keeps Paul under house arrest for two years.
In chapter 25, Porcius Festus had come into the position held by Felix. He makes a visit to Jerusalem, and the religious leaders get an audience with him, accuse Paul, and want him sent to them that he should be judged by them (but killed per the original plot before he ever gets to Jerusalem). Festus says, No, I think I'll have him stay where he is and when I get back I'll check into this myself, and he invites the religious leaders to come and accuse Paul all over again.
They lay all kinds of charges against Paul, can't prove one of them but, to show the Jews a favor, Festus asks Paul if he'd like to go back to Jerusalem and address everything according to Jewish law. What does Paul answer? He pulls out the big guns of personal rights owed to him by Roman law:
Act 25:10 Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.
Act 25:11 For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.
Act 25:12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.
Some time passes and king Agrippa and Bernice, his sister, visit Caesarea and when Festus tells him about Paul, Agrippa states he'd like to hear the man speak. Big pomp and ceremony show takes place, Festus repeats some of the history about Paul, and chapter 26 opens up with Agrippa giving Paul opportunity to speak for himself. Paul speaks and Festus interrupts him and tells him he's mad but, Agrippa is so moved he tells Paul, "Almost, you have persuaded me to be a Christian." When Paul finished speaking the king rose up and they had some discussion and it was decided:
Act 26:32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
Paul was sent to Rome and the book of Acts closes with him residing in house arrest for two years, witnessing to many, many people, and seeing conversions even among those of Nero's "household."
"Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you. All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household." Philippians 4:21, 22.
When Paul pushed his personal rights, he was enabled to witness to who knows how many people, from kings to servants.
In this time, right now, every single American has the personal right, the moral obligation, based on the rule of law, both man's and God's, granted by the Great Lawgiver, to say "NO" to getting a dangerous injection and possibly, lethal devise inserted into them, based on the weight of evidence the government tyrants and their minions are doing everything they can to hide from Americans.
When professed Christians ignorantly make statements about the faith, they cause confusion or worse. They will be held responsible and accountable to God for the influence of their words, their misguided judgment, their actions, and their heresy.
"Yet Washington isn’t the only state to use government-endorsed religion to advance vaccinations. In Nevada, a nonprofit funded by a state agency produced an ad declaring that “For some, getting the COVID-19 vaccine is an act of faith.” This message is followed by the pro-vaccine testimony of a Baptist pastor in a church sanctuary."
I'll state this. For many, NOT getting the injection is an act of faith for God's immune system to protect them, and using common sense, logic and reason to decline being injected with something that has brought severe life changes to hundreds of thousands of people, and death to over 17,000 Americans, that we know of, based on VAERS. We can be certain that number is monstrously higher.
"Even more troubling is Hochul’s hijacking of religion to support across-the-board vaccine mandates.
“I’m not aware of a sanctioned religious exemption from any organized religion. In fact, they’re encouraging the opposite,” she told reporters. “They’re encouraging their members, everybody from the pope on down is encouraging people to get vaccinated.”
In other words, banning religious exemptions is okay because some religious leaders endorse vaccination. But Hochul has no right to pick your spiritual leader for you, or to tell you what your religious views about COVID-19 vaccines should be. That smacks of state-dictated theology."
I want you to remember this. Back in 1889, the Blair Bill came up before Congress. It was a prosed law to officially make America a Christian nation and declare that SUNDAY should be kept free from secular amusements and work. The Bill was defeated, largely because of the testimony of a Seventh-day Adventist minister, Alonzo T. Jones, who spoke truth with power and joined it to history, both religious and secular history, showing religious laws NEVER do the general public any good but, cause numerous problems to develop. Jones' small book, The National Sunday Law, is not just a fascinating read, recounting his testimony before Congress but, is a wealth of principles that shall become necessary to address what is coming; what is here, right now: Government hijacked religion.
It does not matter what side of religion gets hi-jacked, liberal or conservation, Catholic or Protestant or Islam or any other.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. "
As Mr. West states, Leftists would explode with fury if ministers were used to promote birth, rather than abortion. The hypocrisy of Marxist Leftists remains the greatest threat to the Republic.
Eternal vigilance is necessary now, more than ever, to protect our personal rights from encroaching tyranny, in the guise of any religion or any ideological policy against the rule of law and Liberty granted by our Constitution, and Sovereign Creator.
Tomorrow, we get into the Beast of Revelation 13.
I already commented on NY Gov. Kathy Hochul's sermon on everybody getting vaccinated because it is God's will. Yeah... NO. She was a guest speaker, she's not in a church position of authority, that I know of, and she got blasted pretty good on social media for that and other biblically ignorant and foolish claims she made.
But here is a quote from someone claiming to be in a position of authority. In an article about the government being okay with having a church speak for it, as long as it promotes the injections, a Presbyterian minister is quoted in the opinion piece below:
"Across the United States, government officials are using God to sell the public on more COVID vaccinations. Nobody seems to mind, least of all the American Civil Liberties Union.
The Washington state Department of Health produced an ad featuring Presbyterian minister Liz Kearney.

*****************************
420. The Beast of Revelation 13 - November 13, 2021
Another long one. You should see how long it could be.
If you have not read #409, please do that first, to get important information related to this study. It's a study on Daniel 7, identifying the power of antichrist and the Little Horn power of apostasy.
I'm going to do a review of Daniel 7 to begin this, without looking at Daniel 7. We are going to look at the first Beast of Rev. 13, and in doing so, immediately the connection between the two books can be seen. As I stated last time, they are "sibling" books. Though written 600 years apart, by two different authors, God arranged that they be used to interpret prophetic symbols, to gain insights, and help identify the characters portrayed.
I mentioned the Bible supplying its own "keys" to unlocking the meaning of terms used in symbolic prophecy. A main one used is "seas." Beasts rising up out of seas, or oceans, bodies of water. That is simply explained for the student in Rev. 17.
Rev 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
Seas, great bodies of water, represent multitudes of people that make up nations and languages. Easy enough.
Rev. 13 opens with a beast rising out of water, again. The Apostle John is standing on the shore and sees a beast come out of the sea with seven heads, ten horns, crowns on them and on the heads is written "blasphemy." Notice the next set of details:
Rev 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
John could instantly think, "This looks like a composite of Daniel's beasts, 600 years ago." Lion, leopard, bear, 10 horns on seven heads, crowned.
The dragon, which is the Devil (Rev 12:1-9), gives this beast its power, seat, and authority. This is a power controlled by the Devil, used by the Devil as an implement of deception and force among men.
Let's dig a little. Like Daniel 7, John sees a seven-headed beast with the body of a leopard, which was the Grecian empire in Daniel's vision. The feet of the beast were that of the Bear, which was the Persian empire, and the mouth of the beast is that of a lion, which was the empire of ancient Babylon. Like the fourth beast of Dan.7, it has ten horns, and in this case they are shown crowned. They are kingdoms.
Seven total heads were shown to Daniel. Lion, Bear, 4- headed leopard, and the non-descript beast. The ten horns represented the nations/kingdoms that arose out of the fourth Beast, which was the Roman empire. John sees them as kingdoms, yet in the future.
The influence of Greece takes up the main body of the beast. In the Western world, Greece remains part of almost every system used today, from arts, sciences, language, sports, philosophy, architecture and design, Democracy, and even trial by jury.
The foundation of the beast sits on four bear's legs. Predating Greece by centuries, Persian architecture has a long and vast history. Even aspects of agriculture were rendered to the establishment of the Western peoples and empires. Mathematics used today were developed in Persia. Some historians claim the wheel, itself, and road systems made for them, were a development of Persian ingenuity. The textile industry is said to have been established by Persia and today, the "Persian rug" remains a term known all throughout the West. According to the historian, Herodotus, the postal system, as we know its use today, was created by the ancient Persians.
The mouth of the beast is that of the Babylonian lion. It speaks Babylon, and what was the most prominent thing Babylon gave the world? Confusion. It's attitude of the desire to make a name for itself, with the building of the tower on the plains of Shinar (Gen. 11:1-9), and the spread of people and languages across the Earth, was the foundation of all that became Babylon. Regardless of how much gold Babylonian kings had to work with, or its irrigation system to water its ancient wonder of the world, confusion will always be the thing the Bible reckons Babylon responsible for, under the judgment of the Almighty. The mouth of this beast speaks a conglomeration of confusion. More on that in a future look at prophetic Babylon but, the thing repeated by John as a defining mark is that the beast's heads have written on them - blasphemy, and the mouth of this beast speaks blasphemy, verses 1, 5 and 6.
We have reference to the ten barbaric tribes that became the early kingdoms/nations of Western Europe and the reminders of Daniel's vision in the first year of Belshazzar's reign, is established for John.
We need to get a handle on what blasphemy is, according to the Bible. Men may define blasphemy in many ways but, the Bible is very clear in it. We find our necessary definitions in the Gospels of John and Luke.
Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one.
Joh 10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
Joh 10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
Joh 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
Mark it. For a man to make himself out to be equal with God, to be divine, is blasphemy.
Luke 5:20 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
Luke 5:21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
Mark it. Only God forgives sin, period. A person may forgive someone who sins against them but, in relation to salvation, God, alone, can forgive sin weighed in the scales of eternal judgment.
With those two concise definitions, let's proceed.
The dragon, Satan, gives this beast its power. From the time of Christ, Satan, working through Heord, the Jewish pawn/king of Rome, and working through the fourth beast of Daniel's visions, the Roman empire, itself, killed the Messiah. Moving forward in time, Satan gives this new, conglomeration beast its power.
The Greek word used for 'power' is "dunamis," where we get our English word "dynamite" from. Satan gives this beast explosive, world changing power.
Satan gives this power its "seat." The seat of power in the USA is Washington, D.C. The seat of Power in Russia, is Moscow. In China, Beijing. Here, the Greek word is "thronos," and obviously all powers in ancient times had potentates on thrones. This power has a ruler on a throne, as well.
Satan gives this power its authority. Because we already know, from Daniel, who the Little Horn power is, we can just use that to blend into John's vision. The first Beast of Rev. 13 is the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church and its system of religion. It's quite easy to nail down.
Satan, working through Rome, through emperor Justinian, gave the Papacy its place in religio/political history, with his decree of 533 a.d. proclaiming the pope ruler of the churches and corrector of heretics. By 538, the reign of John, even as one of the weakest popes in history, had control of the Western empire. Where is the papacy's seat of power? Rome. Who gave it authority? Rome.
Just do an image search of the popes on their thrones. Regardless of the lack of the typical regalia worn by past popes, early and pre-20th century (current popes wear enough), they are kings that sit on thrones. Modern seats are more fancy chairs but, as you look at all the images, remember you are supposed to be looking at the representative of the humble Nazarene on Earth. Was Jesus ever carried on shoulders sitting on a throne, with the ancient pagan Flabella flanking Him? Rhetorical question, of course.
What's next?
Rev 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Rev 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
A deadly wound. "Thanatos," meaning death: the reason the creators of the Avengers chose the name, Thanos, for the great enemy of the universe in the movie series.
As we saw in Daniel, in 1798, Napoleon took Pope Sixtus captive, he died in exile and there was no one on the throne in Rome. The beast received a deadly would. Even newspapers of the day had headlines stating a "deadly wound" was given to the Papacy. Yet, by 1800, a new pope was on the throne in Rome; Pope Pius VII, and by 1870 the doctrine of infallibility was made dogma. By 1929, with the Lateran treaty, Mussolini granted Rome some previous territories and it's own little nation: a 9+ acre plot in the heart of Rome, and the deadly wound has been continually healing.
"Wondered." The Greek word, "thaumazo," means to admire. All the world admires the Papacy. With the modern RCC, Vatican 2, and it's choice of Pontiffs, a pope generally ends up on lists of the ten most admired men in the world, every year. John XXIII was a tremendously popular pope. Pope John Paul's death captured the interest of the world and JP2 became one of the most loved and powerful popes in all Roman Catholic history. But, the Bible is clear. Satan is the power behind the seat, Satan is actually worshipped, as people worship the Beast. Now, right here is where Catholics want to stone the Protestant messenger and position of identifying the Beast as the Papacy. Sincere Roman Catholics worship the Devil?!? Are you nuts? Heretic!!! Lunatic!!!
Well, yes, in Rome's eyes I am definitely a heretic, like Protestants before me. My parents were taught never to go into a Protestant church, never to play with Protestants, never sing a Protestant hymn. Protestants were taught the same about Roman Catholicism. So, remember a vice-versa exists here. While societal things changed in the 20th century, that does not change a letter, though, of the description of this biblical character and power, which continues. No offense to Roman Catholics, at all. Remember, I was raised in the Catholic Church. All my relatives, both sides, are French Roman Catholics. One of my aunts flipped out when she found out I became a Protestant. She laid into me when she found out. I was shocked and knelt down and began to pray, which made her even angrier. My mother joined me. My father was just astonished at the whole scene. We left, with all three of us weeping. I had an uncle write me a very unfortunate letter of disapproval, which he apologized for before he passed away. Regardless of personal feelings and circumstances, I come to this conclusion based on the weight of evidence.
I baptized my mother, shocked as she first was, into the truth of Protestantism. My father, though he remained a Catholic, never went to Mass after Vatican 2 changed so many things but, he knew I was right. People who say I was born Catholic, I'll die a Catholic; I was born Baptist, I'll die a Baptist, have pretty poor reasons for being either.
The Beast is worshipped. The term simply means to bow down to. All the world admired and bows down to this power. Tell me, how many rulers of the nations were at JP2's funeral? How many nations have bowed down to RCC positions in the fabric of world society? You might say scandal has ruined much of that influence. Indeed. The history of the church of Rome is littered with scandals. The death of John Paul, itself, contained enough intrigue to see books authored trying to explain his odd, untimely death. It is said he was going to bust open corruption in every quarter of the church. He died.
The Catholic Church claims over one billion members. Nothing else comes close. "Who is like the Beast?" They call that reason to believe they are God's true church. Protestants call that, all the world wondered after the beast. Numbers mean nothing to God. Faithful obedience to a Thus Saith the Lord, is what is called "great delight" in heaven.
1Sa 15:22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
1Sa 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
1Sa 15:24 And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
Who can make war with the Beast? How can it be done? Money? Fat chance. Arms? Even the CCP treads lightly where Catholicism is concerned. The fastest growing church on Earth is the underground church in China. China hates Christianity but, after watching what the Papacy and RCC accomplished in the Eastern Bloc in 1989, it watches the Catholic Church very carefully since then. I would predict when communism collapses in China, it shall largely be at the hands of the RCC. In the vast corridors of history, the Papacy made war a commonality. It made persecution an artform. Atheists love to use the RCC as something so opposed to Christ, because of its history, the very nature of God is maligned. The idea of a God who could do what Rome, His supposed church and its "Vicar" in His place, has done in 1500 years, is a complete travesty.
I will now get into the thick of it. I'll get back to war in a minute.
Blasphemy. To claim to forgive a man's sins. To claim equality with God. I already addressed this in our study of Daniel 7 but, I'll add more.
Everybody knows the position of the RCC and forgiving sin. The confessional, the rite of forgiveness, is the bulwark of Catholic power over its adherents. You cannot go to God, to Christ, yourself. You must go to a priest for forgiveness.
“And God himself is obliged to abide by the judgment of his priest and either not to pardon or to pardon, according as they refuse to give absolution, provided the penitent is capable of it.” Liguori, Duties and Dignities of the Priest, p.27
Alphonsus Di Ligouri is one of the many "saints" in the Catholic Church. The book quoted from has more statements in it, of which can be termed biblical blasphemy, than any other Catholic book I know of. No doubt Ligouri was sincere. He was just sincerely wrong. I only need to post the beginning paragraphs of that large volume to make the point of the position of the Roman Catholic priest in its system of religion.
"IN his epistle to the Christians of Smyrna, St. Ignatius, Martyr, says that the priesthood is the most sublime of all created dignities: “The apex of dignities is the priesthood.” 1 St. Ephrem calls it an infinite dignity: The priesthood is an astounding miracle, great, immense, and infinite.” 2 St. John Chrysostom says, that though its functions are performed on earth, the priesthood should be numbered among the things of heaven. 3 According to Cassian, the priest of God is exalted above all earthly sovereignties, and above all celestial heights he is inferior only to God. 4 Innocent III. says that the priest is placed between God and man; inferior to God, but superior to man. 1 St. Denis calls the priest a divine man. 2 Hence he has called the priesthood a divine dignity. 3 In fine, St. Ephrem says that the gift of the sacerdotal dignity surpasses all understanding. 4 For us it is enough to know, that Jesus Christ has said that we should treat his priests as we would his own person: He that heareth you, heareth me; he that despiseth you, despiseth me? 5 Hence St. John Chrysostom says, that “he who honors a priest, honors Christ, and he who insults a priest, insults Christ.”6 Through respect for the sacerdotal dignity, St. Mary of Oignies used to kiss the ground on which a priest had walked."
"Jesus has died to institute the priesthood. It was not necessary for the Redeemer to die in order to save the world; a drop of his blood, a single tear, or prayer, was sufficient to procure salvation for all; for such a prayer, being of infinite value, should be sufficient to save not one but a thousand worlds. But to institute the priesthood, the death of Jesus Christ has been necessary. Had he not died, where should we find the victim that the priests of the New Law now offer? a victim altogether holy and immaculate, capable of giving to God an honor worthy of God. As has been already said, all the lives of men and angels are not capable of giving to God an infinite honor like that which a priest offers to him by a single Mass."
That one paragraph contains enough error, heresy, and blasphemy to drop the subject. As I stated, the book is saturated with such exaltation of man in the place of God.
The entire Old Testament sacrificial system, from the slaying of the rams to gain coats of skin to cover Adam and Eve's nakedness, to the death of every, single animal sacrifice to atone for sin, showed the death of the Messiah to come. His death was necessary to atone for the sins of the world. He died, once, for all. No repeated mass, no repetition of Christ's death in the mass is necessary. Jesus died, once, for all.
Heb 9:25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
Heb 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Heb 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Heb 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Heb 10:11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
Heb 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
Much more could be added but, the truth is plain to see. Christ died for the salvation of mankind, not to establish a human priesthood. Exactly the opposite. The Book of Hebrews states over and over Christ took away the old system of priests and animal sacrifices, and He becomes our High Priest, in Heaven: both sacrificial Lamb on Earth, and Priest in the Heavenly sanctuary above. No earthly priests are necessary. All believers are called a priesthood of God. Peter is the one who wrote that! 1 Peter 2: 5,9. How can a sinner forgive man's sins before God? The Catholic Church claims its necessity and power. The Bible states its futility. Each and every soul can go to Christ, themselves, to commune with Him in prayer, in service, and in forgiveness of sin unto salvation.
Concerning the power of priests to turn the wafer into the flesh of Christ, in Roman Catholic Communion, Ligouri writes:
"But our wonder should be far greater when we find that in obedience to the words of his priests HOC EST CORPUS MEUM God himself descends on the altar, that he comes wherever they call him, and as often as they call him, and places himself in their hands, even though they should be his enemies.
"And after having come, he remains, entirely at their disposal; they move him as they please, from one place to another; they may, if they wish, shut him up in the tabernacle, or expose him on the altar, or carry him outside the church; they may, if they choose, eat his flesh, and give him for the food of others. “Oh, how very great is their power,” says St. Laurence Justinian, speaking of priests.” A word falls from their lips and the body of Christ is there substantially formed from the matter of bread, and the Incarnate Word descended from heaven, is found really present on the table of the altar! Never did divine goodness give such power to the angels. The angels abide by the order of God, but the priests take him in their hands, distribute him to the faithful, and partake of him as food for themselves.”
"Were the Redeemer to descend into a church, and sit in a confessional to administer the sacrament of penance, and a priest to sit in another confessional, Jesus would say over each penitent, “Ego te absolve,” the priest would likewise say over each of his penitents, “Ego te absolve,” and the penitents of each would be equally absolved.
"The sacerdotal dignity also surpasses the dignity of the angels, who likewise show their veneration for the priesthood, says St. Gregory Nazianzen. All the angels in heaven cannot absolve from a single sin. The angels guardian procure for the souls committed to their care grace to have recourse to a priest that he may absolve them : “Although,” says St. Peter Damian, “angels may be present, they yet wait for the priest to exercise his power, but no one of them has the power of the keys of binding and of loosening.”
"St. Francis of Assisi used to say, “If I saw an angel and a priest, I would bend my knee first to the priest and then to the angel.”
"The saint assigns the reason of the superiority of the priesthood over Mary; she conceived Jesus Christ only once; but by consecrating the Eucharist, the priest, as it were, conceives him as often as he wishes, so that if the person of the Redeemer had not as yet been in the world, the priest, by pronouncing the words of consecration, would produce this great person of a Man-God. “O wonderful dignity of the priests,” cries out St. Augustine; “in their hands, as in the womb of the Blessed Virgin, the Son of God becomes- incarnate.”
"Hence priests are called the parents of Jesus Christ: such is the title that St. Bernard gives them, for they are the active cause by which he is made to exist really in the consecrated Host."
"“Thus the priest may, in a certain manner, be called the creator of his Creator, since by saying the words of consecration, he creates, as it were, Jesus in the sacrament, by giving him a sacramental existence, and produces him as a victim to be offered to the eternal Father. As in creating the world it was sufficient for God to have said, Let it be made, and it was created - He spoke, and they were made- so it is sufficient for the priest to say, “Hoc est corpus meum”, and behold the bread is no longer bread, but the body of Jesus Christ. The power of the priest, says St. Bernardine of Sienna, is the power of the divine person; for the transubstantiation of the bread requires as much power as the creation of the world.”
Power equal to God, power to create Christ, power over angels, which the Bible sufficiently states man was made lower than. If most Roman Catholics read that book, they'd be astounded. Most have little idea what confessing sins to a priest regards, from the position of the church. Protestants became such because of this heresy, this gargantuan, erroneous power structure over men. "Protestants" no longer protest. Too old fashioned. Too confrontational. We all just need to get along and save the world. According to the Bible, that is not how God sees it.
As I stated, almost every page of the book, considered one of the great masterpieces of theology in the RCC, has such statements of the priest's power to forgive sin, being a replacement, a stand-in, a vicar, a representative of Christ, in place of Christ: antechristos.

Rev 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
There is one statement that has such a compilation of blasphemy that I always used it in seminars, when it comes to that verse. Blaspheming God: claiming equality with, forgiving sins. Blaspheming His name, pick one. King of kings, Lord of lords. Sovereign. Creator. Saviour. Rome claims it all for their popes and priests. But, blaspheming the angels in Heaven? Well, we've already seen Ligouri's position on that superiority. Here is that statement I just mentioned:
“The Pope by reason of the excellence of his supreme dignity is called bishop of bishops. He is also called ordinary of ordinaries. He is likewise bishop of the universal church. He is likewise the divine monarch and supreme emperor, and king of kings. Hence the Pope is crowned with a triple crown, as king of heaven and of earth and of the lower regions. … Moreover the superiority and the power of the Roman Pontiff by no means pertain only to the heavenly things, to the earthly things, and to the things under the earth, but are even over angels, than whom he is greater. So that if it were possible that the angels might err in the faith, or might think contrary to the faith, they could be judged and excommunicated by the Pope. For he is of so great dignity and power that he forms one and the same tribunal with Christ. So that whatever the Pope does, seems to proceed from the mouth of God, as according to most doctors, etc.” Lucius Ferraris, Prompta Bibliotheca Canonica, Juridica, Moralis, Theologica nec non Ascetica, Polemica, Rubricistica, Historica, article, “Papa”. Ferraris' encyclopedia is considered one of the great volumes of Catholic theology by the church.
Angels must have been wide-eyed when that statement was written. But, you see, Lucifer was cast out of Heaven for claiming equality with Christ, for claiming he could run the universe better than God could. Thrust out, He now seats himself in the Roman Catholic Church and rules men through that system of pagan traditions, man-made rules, laws, doctrines, and blasphemy.
I found a website that has many of the statements I used in seminars, known to Protestants for the ages they persisted in, through the rule of Pontiffs in the "chair of Peter." By the way, when people kneel before the pope and his ring is kissed, that act of homage, not even Peter, himself, allowed (Acts 10:25,26), and the ring supposedly contains a bone chip of the apostle. Kissing dead bones. Done all the time in both the RCC and Orthodox churches. I have seen and photographed the lipstick marks on such glassed containers. Sincerity of faith, to be sure. Sincerely wrong, to be certain.

The text also states the power would rule for 42 months. That is the same time period as the 1260 days of Daniel 7. Biblical days, months, calendar years equaling out to prophetic days, months and years. The 1260 years of papal supremacy, 538 to 1798: the establishment of the political papacy to the deadly wound given by Napoleon to Pius VI.
Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Rev 13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
Rev 13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
Having addressed persecution in commentary on Daniel 7, I'll add just one source here, which proves the RCC made war with the saints. It should be mentioned the RCC did not always persecute "heretics" and put them to death. Like any other system, "absolute power corrupts, absolutely." Over time, what was then seen as the authority and job of the state, guided by the church, the church took control of, itself. The millions of people who died for their beliefs, on several continents, at the hands of Rome, no person with a knowledge of history denies. In 2000, Pope JP2 apologized for the Church's role in persecution. Francis did the same in 2016. Let it be stated Protestant churches fell into the same role of corruption and absolute power, persecuting itself, as "heretics," and Catholics in their several nations, through Protestant ecclesiastic tribunal decisions to persecute and penalize with imprisonment and death. Like Mother, like Daughter. While both parties claim it was just elements of the times, the RCC claims it as a right; a right never dogmatically renounced, nor can it be.
This is a link to an 84 page paper on the subject of the numbers of Catholic persecutions of people put to death. It addresses the various totals stated by different historians and background of these historical estimations:
http://static1.1.sqspcdn.com/static/f/827989/15116787/1321289366180/50+million+protestants+killed.pdf?token=6rP1VZSoLKfFGBpLeB5t910305M%3D
It does not matter if any of the totals of persecuted believers to death are accurate. It matters in the sense of subliminal guilt but, even if the RCC never put a single person to death, it's doctrinal position is what matters, for the Beast believes it can and must make war with the saints.
Roberto Bellarmino, sometimes called "the Hammer of Heretics," one of the most diehard papists in Catholic history, lived in the times of the 16th century Reformation. He was a Jesuit priest, rising to Archbishop, then Cardinal, and ultimately, in 1930, canonized with sainthood, and proclaimed a "Doctor of the Church," by Pope Pius XI. A small man, who never wanted anything more than to be a teacher and writer, he became one of the giants of Catholic history and a definitive supporter of the doctrines of papal supremacy.
'The church,' says Luther, has never burned a heretic.' . . I reply that this argument proves not the opinion, but the ignorance or impudence of Luther. Since almost infinite numbers were either burned or otherwise killed, Luther either did not know it, and was therefore ignorant, or if he was not ignorant, he is convicted of impudence and falsehood, — for that heretics were often burned by the Church may be proved from many examples. Cardinal Robert Bellarmine, Disputationes de Controversiis, Tom. ii, Lib. III, cap. XXII, ― Objections Answered, 1682 edition.
"Among the chief heretical beliefs of the Anabaptists and Antitrinitarians of our time there is one that says that it is not lawful for Christians to hold magistracy and that among Christians there must not be power of capital punishment, etc., in any government, tribunal, or court. Stefania Tutino translation of De Laicis, p. 5.
In reply to the point - Experience shows that terror is not useful, Bellarmine wrote:
"I reply, experience proves the contrary - for the Donatists, Manicheans, and Albigenses were routed and annihilated by arms."
In reply to the argument that Christ gave the church a spiritual sword, the Word of God, not a material one to address converting or persecuting, Bellarmine replied:
"As the church has ecclesiastical and secular princes, who are her two arms; so she has two swords, the spiritual and the material; and therefore when her right hand is unable to convert the heretic with the sword of the spirit she invokes the aid of the left hand and coerces heretics with the material sword."
Bellarmine believed, wholeheartedly, in the right of the church to control the secular power to punish heretics.
A time will come when all people on Earth will bow down to the authority of a pope, propped up by all power, signs, and lying wonders, achieved through the Devil's deceptions through the man of sin, the son pf perdition, that wicked servant of rebellion and disobedience to a plain Thus saith the Lord. It does not matter what kind of guy the pope seems to be. It does not matter that he seems religious or sincere. They have made claims to supremacy over all Christendom, in the name of Christ, in the place of Christ. It is a blasphemous entity.
Given the scope of the internet, you can read plenty of rebuttals to the claims of Protestantism. I would close with the words we have read: If any man have an ear, let him hear.
Right now, all of this seems a subject for past history, not current events. Bear in mind, Bellarmine, staunch supporter of the doctrine of handling the material sword to persecute and remove heretics, like Augustine, like Aquinas, like others in Rome's history before him, was made a saint in 1930, and a Doctor of the Church, in '31. Hardly an antique move of religion in past history. Despite popish apologies, Rome has never recanted or abolished its position on punishing heretics, nor any other doctrine exposed in these studies. She has never erred, nor can she, is her official position.
Persecution of Christians by professed Christians, is coming again. Christ said it. It shall happen. Right now secularism seems to be the greatest danger to religious faith and freedom and liberty of conscience. In the future that shall change. I'll address that when we look at the second beast of Rev. 13.
Remember this. Rome says, We are the true church, therefore we teach the truth.
Protestantism states, We teach the truth, therefore we are the true church.
There is a huge gulf between those two propositions. Yet, the RCC and Evangelical churches draw closer and closer together with each passing year.
The number of churches in Protestantism, which Rome claims is reason enough to reject it, shall be dealt with in a future study on prophetic Babylon.
The Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church is the only power in world history that meets all the marks of identification in Scripture exposing the power of 'antechristos," putting itself "in place of Christ."
Just keep watching. Various voices for over half a century have been promoting a one world order, and some have put forth the idea that a pope should be in that order, being both a political/state ruler, and a religious one, of a denomination, organization, conglomerate corporation of over 1 billion people. Regardless of detours, scandals, upheavals, and their own heretics, the deadly wound shall be completely healed one day, soon enough, and then shall the end come.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
If you have not read #409, please do that first, to get important information related to this study. It's a study on Daniel 7, identifying the power of antichrist and the Little Horn power of apostasy.
I'm going to do a review of Daniel 7 to begin this, without looking at Daniel 7. We are going to look at the first Beast of Rev. 13, and in doing so, immediately the connection between the two books can be seen. As I stated last time, they are "sibling" books. Though written 600 years apart, by two different authors, God arranged that they be used to interpret prophetic symbols, to gain insights, and help identify the characters portrayed.
I mentioned the Bible supplying its own "keys" to unlocking the meaning of terms used in symbolic prophecy. A main one used is "seas." Beasts rising up out of seas, or oceans, bodies of water. That is simply explained for the student in Rev. 17.
Rev 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
Seas, great bodies of water, represent multitudes of people that make up nations and languages. Easy enough.
Rev. 13 opens with a beast rising out of water, again. The Apostle John is standing on the shore and sees a beast come out of the sea with seven heads, ten horns, crowns on them and on the heads is written "blasphemy." Notice the next set of details:
Rev 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
John could instantly think, "This looks like a composite of Daniel's beasts, 600 years ago." Lion, leopard, bear, 10 horns on seven heads, crowned.
The dragon, which is the Devil (Rev 12:1-9), gives this beast its power, seat, and authority. This is a power controlled by the Devil, used by the Devil as an implement of deception and force among men.
Let's dig a little. Like Daniel 7, John sees a seven-headed beast with the body of a leopard, which was the Grecian empire in Daniel's vision. The feet of the beast were that of the Bear, which was the Persian empire, and the mouth of the beast is that of a lion, which was the empire of ancient Babylon. Like the fourth beast of Dan.7, it has ten horns, and in this case they are shown crowned. They are kingdoms.
Seven total heads were shown to Daniel. Lion, Bear, 4- headed leopard, and the non-descript beast. The ten horns represented the nations/kingdoms that arose out of the fourth Beast, which was the Roman empire. John sees them as kingdoms, yet in the future.
The influence of Greece takes up the main body of the beast. In the Western world, Greece remains part of almost every system used today, from arts, sciences, language, sports, philosophy, architecture and design, Democracy, and even trial by jury.
The foundation of the beast sits on four bear's legs. Predating Greece by centuries, Persian architecture has a long and vast history. Even aspects of agriculture were rendered to the establishment of the Western peoples and empires. Mathematics used today were developed in Persia. Some historians claim the wheel, itself, and road systems made for them, were a development of Persian ingenuity. The textile industry is said to have been established by Persia and today, the "Persian rug" remains a term known all throughout the West. According to the historian, Herodotus, the postal system, as we know its use today, was created by the ancient Persians.
The mouth of the beast is that of the Babylonian lion. It speaks Babylon, and what was the most prominent thing Babylon gave the world? Confusion. It's attitude of the desire to make a name for itself, with the building of the tower on the plains of Shinar (Gen. 11:1-9), and the spread of people and languages across the Earth, was the foundation of all that became Babylon. Regardless of how much gold Babylonian kings had to work with, or its irrigation system to water its ancient wonder of the world, confusion will always be the thing the Bible reckons Babylon responsible for, under the judgment of the Almighty. The mouth of this beast speaks a conglomeration of confusion. More on that in a future look at prophetic Babylon but, the thing repeated by John as a defining mark is that the beast's heads have written on them - blasphemy, and the mouth of this beast speaks blasphemy, verses 1, 5 and 6.
We have reference to the ten barbaric tribes that became the early kingdoms/nations of Western Europe and the reminders of Daniel's vision in the first year of Belshazzar's reign, is established for John.
We need to get a handle on what blasphemy is, according to the Bible. Men may define blasphemy in many ways but, the Bible is very clear in it. We find our necessary definitions in the Gospels of John and Luke.
Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one.
Joh 10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
Joh 10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
Joh 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
Mark it. For a man to make himself out to be equal with God, to be divine, is blasphemy.
Luke 5:20 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
Luke 5:21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
Mark it. Only God forgives sin, period. A person may forgive someone who sins against them but, in relation to salvation, God, alone, can forgive sin weighed in the scales of eternal judgment.
With those two concise definitions, let's proceed.
The dragon, Satan, gives this beast its power. From the time of Christ, Satan, working through Heord, the Jewish pawn/king of Rome, and working through the fourth beast of Daniel's visions, the Roman empire, itself, killed the Messiah. Moving forward in time, Satan gives this new, conglomeration beast its power.
The Greek word used for 'power' is "dunamis," where we get our English word "dynamite" from. Satan gives this beast explosive, world changing power.
Satan gives this power its "seat." The seat of power in the USA is Washington, D.C. The seat of Power in Russia, is Moscow. In China, Beijing. Here, the Greek word is "thronos," and obviously all powers in ancient times had potentates on thrones. This power has a ruler on a throne, as well.
Satan gives this power its authority. Because we already know, from Daniel, who the Little Horn power is, we can just use that to blend into John's vision. The first Beast of Rev. 13 is the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church and its system of religion. It's quite easy to nail down.
Satan, working through Rome, through emperor Justinian, gave the Papacy its place in religio/political history, with his decree of 533 a.d. proclaiming the pope ruler of the churches and corrector of heretics. By 538, the reign of John, even as one of the weakest popes in history, had control of the Western empire. Where is the papacy's seat of power? Rome. Who gave it authority? Rome.
Just do an image search of the popes on their thrones. Regardless of the lack of the typical regalia worn by past popes, early and pre-20th century (current popes wear enough), they are kings that sit on thrones. Modern seats are more fancy chairs but, as you look at all the images, remember you are supposed to be looking at the representative of the humble Nazarene on Earth. Was Jesus ever carried on shoulders sitting on a throne, with the ancient pagan Flabella flanking Him? Rhetorical question, of course.
What's next?
Rev 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Rev 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
A deadly wound. "Thanatos," meaning death: the reason the creators of the Avengers chose the name, Thanos, for the great enemy of the universe in the movie series.
As we saw in Daniel, in 1798, Napoleon took Pope Sixtus captive, he died in exile and there was no one on the throne in Rome. The beast received a deadly would. Even newspapers of the day had headlines stating a "deadly wound" was given to the Papacy. Yet, by 1800, a new pope was on the throne in Rome; Pope Pius VII, and by 1870 the doctrine of infallibility was made dogma. By 1929, with the Lateran treaty, Mussolini granted Rome some previous territories and it's own little nation: a 9+ acre plot in the heart of Rome, and the deadly wound has been continually healing.
"Wondered." The Greek word, "thaumazo," means to admire. All the world admires the Papacy. With the modern RCC, Vatican 2, and it's choice of Pontiffs, a pope generally ends up on lists of the ten most admired men in the world, every year. John XXIII was a tremendously popular pope. Pope John Paul's death captured the interest of the world and JP2 became one of the most loved and powerful popes in all Roman Catholic history. But, the Bible is clear. Satan is the power behind the seat, Satan is actually worshipped, as people worship the Beast. Now, right here is where Catholics want to stone the Protestant messenger and position of identifying the Beast as the Papacy. Sincere Roman Catholics worship the Devil?!? Are you nuts? Heretic!!! Lunatic!!!
Well, yes, in Rome's eyes I am definitely a heretic, like Protestants before me. My parents were taught never to go into a Protestant church, never to play with Protestants, never sing a Protestant hymn. Protestants were taught the same about Roman Catholicism. So, remember a vice-versa exists here. While societal things changed in the 20th century, that does not change a letter, though, of the description of this biblical character and power, which continues. No offense to Roman Catholics, at all. Remember, I was raised in the Catholic Church. All my relatives, both sides, are French Roman Catholics. One of my aunts flipped out when she found out I became a Protestant. She laid into me when she found out. I was shocked and knelt down and began to pray, which made her even angrier. My mother joined me. My father was just astonished at the whole scene. We left, with all three of us weeping. I had an uncle write me a very unfortunate letter of disapproval, which he apologized for before he passed away. Regardless of personal feelings and circumstances, I come to this conclusion based on the weight of evidence.
I baptized my mother, shocked as she first was, into the truth of Protestantism. My father, though he remained a Catholic, never went to Mass after Vatican 2 changed so many things but, he knew I was right. People who say I was born Catholic, I'll die a Catholic; I was born Baptist, I'll die a Baptist, have pretty poor reasons for being either.
The Beast is worshipped. The term simply means to bow down to. All the world admired and bows down to this power. Tell me, how many rulers of the nations were at JP2's funeral? How many nations have bowed down to RCC positions in the fabric of world society? You might say scandal has ruined much of that influence. Indeed. The history of the church of Rome is littered with scandals. The death of John Paul, itself, contained enough intrigue to see books authored trying to explain his odd, untimely death. It is said he was going to bust open corruption in every quarter of the church. He died.
The Catholic Church claims over one billion members. Nothing else comes close. "Who is like the Beast?" They call that reason to believe they are God's true church. Protestants call that, all the world wondered after the beast. Numbers mean nothing to God. Faithful obedience to a Thus Saith the Lord, is what is called "great delight" in heaven.
1Sa 15:22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
1Sa 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
1Sa 15:24 And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
Who can make war with the Beast? How can it be done? Money? Fat chance. Arms? Even the CCP treads lightly where Catholicism is concerned. The fastest growing church on Earth is the underground church in China. China hates Christianity but, after watching what the Papacy and RCC accomplished in the Eastern Bloc in 1989, it watches the Catholic Church very carefully since then. I would predict when communism collapses in China, it shall largely be at the hands of the RCC. In the vast corridors of history, the Papacy made war a commonality. It made persecution an artform. Atheists love to use the RCC as something so opposed to Christ, because of its history, the very nature of God is maligned. The idea of a God who could do what Rome, His supposed church and its "Vicar" in His place, has done in 1500 years, is a complete travesty.
I will now get into the thick of it. I'll get back to war in a minute.
Blasphemy. To claim to forgive a man's sins. To claim equality with God. I already addressed this in our study of Daniel 7 but, I'll add more.
Everybody knows the position of the RCC and forgiving sin. The confessional, the rite of forgiveness, is the bulwark of Catholic power over its adherents. You cannot go to God, to Christ, yourself. You must go to a priest for forgiveness.
“And God himself is obliged to abide by the judgment of his priest and either not to pardon or to pardon, according as they refuse to give absolution, provided the penitent is capable of it.” Liguori, Duties and Dignities of the Priest, p.27
Alphonsus Di Ligouri is one of the many "saints" in the Catholic Church. The book quoted from has more statements in it, of which can be termed biblical blasphemy, than any other Catholic book I know of. No doubt Ligouri was sincere. He was just sincerely wrong. I only need to post the beginning paragraphs of that large volume to make the point of the position of the Roman Catholic priest in its system of religion.
"IN his epistle to the Christians of Smyrna, St. Ignatius, Martyr, says that the priesthood is the most sublime of all created dignities: “The apex of dignities is the priesthood.” 1 St. Ephrem calls it an infinite dignity: The priesthood is an astounding miracle, great, immense, and infinite.” 2 St. John Chrysostom says, that though its functions are performed on earth, the priesthood should be numbered among the things of heaven. 3 According to Cassian, the priest of God is exalted above all earthly sovereignties, and above all celestial heights he is inferior only to God. 4 Innocent III. says that the priest is placed between God and man; inferior to God, but superior to man. 1 St. Denis calls the priest a divine man. 2 Hence he has called the priesthood a divine dignity. 3 In fine, St. Ephrem says that the gift of the sacerdotal dignity surpasses all understanding. 4 For us it is enough to know, that Jesus Christ has said that we should treat his priests as we would his own person: He that heareth you, heareth me; he that despiseth you, despiseth me? 5 Hence St. John Chrysostom says, that “he who honors a priest, honors Christ, and he who insults a priest, insults Christ.”6 Through respect for the sacerdotal dignity, St. Mary of Oignies used to kiss the ground on which a priest had walked."
"Jesus has died to institute the priesthood. It was not necessary for the Redeemer to die in order to save the world; a drop of his blood, a single tear, or prayer, was sufficient to procure salvation for all; for such a prayer, being of infinite value, should be sufficient to save not one but a thousand worlds. But to institute the priesthood, the death of Jesus Christ has been necessary. Had he not died, where should we find the victim that the priests of the New Law now offer? a victim altogether holy and immaculate, capable of giving to God an honor worthy of God. As has been already said, all the lives of men and angels are not capable of giving to God an infinite honor like that which a priest offers to him by a single Mass."
That one paragraph contains enough error, heresy, and blasphemy to drop the subject. As I stated, the book is saturated with such exaltation of man in the place of God.
The entire Old Testament sacrificial system, from the slaying of the rams to gain coats of skin to cover Adam and Eve's nakedness, to the death of every, single animal sacrifice to atone for sin, showed the death of the Messiah to come. His death was necessary to atone for the sins of the world. He died, once, for all. No repeated mass, no repetition of Christ's death in the mass is necessary. Jesus died, once, for all.
Heb 9:25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
Heb 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Heb 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Heb 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Heb 10:11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
Heb 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
Much more could be added but, the truth is plain to see. Christ died for the salvation of mankind, not to establish a human priesthood. Exactly the opposite. The Book of Hebrews states over and over Christ took away the old system of priests and animal sacrifices, and He becomes our High Priest, in Heaven: both sacrificial Lamb on Earth, and Priest in the Heavenly sanctuary above. No earthly priests are necessary. All believers are called a priesthood of God. Peter is the one who wrote that! 1 Peter 2: 5,9. How can a sinner forgive man's sins before God? The Catholic Church claims its necessity and power. The Bible states its futility. Each and every soul can go to Christ, themselves, to commune with Him in prayer, in service, and in forgiveness of sin unto salvation.
Concerning the power of priests to turn the wafer into the flesh of Christ, in Roman Catholic Communion, Ligouri writes:
"But our wonder should be far greater when we find that in obedience to the words of his priests HOC EST CORPUS MEUM God himself descends on the altar, that he comes wherever they call him, and as often as they call him, and places himself in their hands, even though they should be his enemies.
"And after having come, he remains, entirely at their disposal; they move him as they please, from one place to another; they may, if they wish, shut him up in the tabernacle, or expose him on the altar, or carry him outside the church; they may, if they choose, eat his flesh, and give him for the food of others. “Oh, how very great is their power,” says St. Laurence Justinian, speaking of priests.” A word falls from their lips and the body of Christ is there substantially formed from the matter of bread, and the Incarnate Word descended from heaven, is found really present on the table of the altar! Never did divine goodness give such power to the angels. The angels abide by the order of God, but the priests take him in their hands, distribute him to the faithful, and partake of him as food for themselves.”
"Were the Redeemer to descend into a church, and sit in a confessional to administer the sacrament of penance, and a priest to sit in another confessional, Jesus would say over each penitent, “Ego te absolve,” the priest would likewise say over each of his penitents, “Ego te absolve,” and the penitents of each would be equally absolved.
"The sacerdotal dignity also surpasses the dignity of the angels, who likewise show their veneration for the priesthood, says St. Gregory Nazianzen. All the angels in heaven cannot absolve from a single sin. The angels guardian procure for the souls committed to their care grace to have recourse to a priest that he may absolve them : “Although,” says St. Peter Damian, “angels may be present, they yet wait for the priest to exercise his power, but no one of them has the power of the keys of binding and of loosening.”
"St. Francis of Assisi used to say, “If I saw an angel and a priest, I would bend my knee first to the priest and then to the angel.”
"The saint assigns the reason of the superiority of the priesthood over Mary; she conceived Jesus Christ only once; but by consecrating the Eucharist, the priest, as it were, conceives him as often as he wishes, so that if the person of the Redeemer had not as yet been in the world, the priest, by pronouncing the words of consecration, would produce this great person of a Man-God. “O wonderful dignity of the priests,” cries out St. Augustine; “in their hands, as in the womb of the Blessed Virgin, the Son of God becomes- incarnate.”
"Hence priests are called the parents of Jesus Christ: such is the title that St. Bernard gives them, for they are the active cause by which he is made to exist really in the consecrated Host."
"“Thus the priest may, in a certain manner, be called the creator of his Creator, since by saying the words of consecration, he creates, as it were, Jesus in the sacrament, by giving him a sacramental existence, and produces him as a victim to be offered to the eternal Father. As in creating the world it was sufficient for God to have said, Let it be made, and it was created - He spoke, and they were made- so it is sufficient for the priest to say, “Hoc est corpus meum”, and behold the bread is no longer bread, but the body of Jesus Christ. The power of the priest, says St. Bernardine of Sienna, is the power of the divine person; for the transubstantiation of the bread requires as much power as the creation of the world.”
Power equal to God, power to create Christ, power over angels, which the Bible sufficiently states man was made lower than. If most Roman Catholics read that book, they'd be astounded. Most have little idea what confessing sins to a priest regards, from the position of the church. Protestants became such because of this heresy, this gargantuan, erroneous power structure over men. "Protestants" no longer protest. Too old fashioned. Too confrontational. We all just need to get along and save the world. According to the Bible, that is not how God sees it.
As I stated, almost every page of the book, considered one of the great masterpieces of theology in the RCC, has such statements of the priest's power to forgive sin, being a replacement, a stand-in, a vicar, a representative of Christ, in place of Christ: antechristos.
You can read it here:

Rev 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
There is one statement that has such a compilation of blasphemy that I always used it in seminars, when it comes to that verse. Blaspheming God: claiming equality with, forgiving sins. Blaspheming His name, pick one. King of kings, Lord of lords. Sovereign. Creator. Saviour. Rome claims it all for their popes and priests. But, blaspheming the angels in Heaven? Well, we've already seen Ligouri's position on that superiority. Here is that statement I just mentioned:
“The Pope by reason of the excellence of his supreme dignity is called bishop of bishops. He is also called ordinary of ordinaries. He is likewise bishop of the universal church. He is likewise the divine monarch and supreme emperor, and king of kings. Hence the Pope is crowned with a triple crown, as king of heaven and of earth and of the lower regions. … Moreover the superiority and the power of the Roman Pontiff by no means pertain only to the heavenly things, to the earthly things, and to the things under the earth, but are even over angels, than whom he is greater. So that if it were possible that the angels might err in the faith, or might think contrary to the faith, they could be judged and excommunicated by the Pope. For he is of so great dignity and power that he forms one and the same tribunal with Christ. So that whatever the Pope does, seems to proceed from the mouth of God, as according to most doctors, etc.” Lucius Ferraris, Prompta Bibliotheca Canonica, Juridica, Moralis, Theologica nec non Ascetica, Polemica, Rubricistica, Historica, article, “Papa”. Ferraris' encyclopedia is considered one of the great volumes of Catholic theology by the church.
Angels must have been wide-eyed when that statement was written. But, you see, Lucifer was cast out of Heaven for claiming equality with Christ, for claiming he could run the universe better than God could. Thrust out, He now seats himself in the Roman Catholic Church and rules men through that system of pagan traditions, man-made rules, laws, doctrines, and blasphemy.
I found a website that has many of the statements I used in seminars, known to Protestants for the ages they persisted in, through the rule of Pontiffs in the "chair of Peter." By the way, when people kneel before the pope and his ring is kissed, that act of homage, not even Peter, himself, allowed (Acts 10:25,26), and the ring supposedly contains a bone chip of the apostle. Kissing dead bones. Done all the time in both the RCC and Orthodox churches. I have seen and photographed the lipstick marks on such glassed containers. Sincerity of faith, to be sure. Sincerely wrong, to be certain.

The text also states the power would rule for 42 months. That is the same time period as the 1260 days of Daniel 7. Biblical days, months, calendar years equaling out to prophetic days, months and years. The 1260 years of papal supremacy, 538 to 1798: the establishment of the political papacy to the deadly wound given by Napoleon to Pius VI.
Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Rev 13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
Rev 13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
Having addressed persecution in commentary on Daniel 7, I'll add just one source here, which proves the RCC made war with the saints. It should be mentioned the RCC did not always persecute "heretics" and put them to death. Like any other system, "absolute power corrupts, absolutely." Over time, what was then seen as the authority and job of the state, guided by the church, the church took control of, itself. The millions of people who died for their beliefs, on several continents, at the hands of Rome, no person with a knowledge of history denies. In 2000, Pope JP2 apologized for the Church's role in persecution. Francis did the same in 2016. Let it be stated Protestant churches fell into the same role of corruption and absolute power, persecuting itself, as "heretics," and Catholics in their several nations, through Protestant ecclesiastic tribunal decisions to persecute and penalize with imprisonment and death. Like Mother, like Daughter. While both parties claim it was just elements of the times, the RCC claims it as a right; a right never dogmatically renounced, nor can it be.
This is a link to an 84 page paper on the subject of the numbers of Catholic persecutions of people put to death. It addresses the various totals stated by different historians and background of these historical estimations:
http://static1.1.sqspcdn.com/static/f/827989/15116787/1321289366180/50+million+protestants+killed.pdf?token=6rP1VZSoLKfFGBpLeB5t910305M%3D
It does not matter if any of the totals of persecuted believers to death are accurate. It matters in the sense of subliminal guilt but, even if the RCC never put a single person to death, it's doctrinal position is what matters, for the Beast believes it can and must make war with the saints.
Roberto Bellarmino, sometimes called "the Hammer of Heretics," one of the most diehard papists in Catholic history, lived in the times of the 16th century Reformation. He was a Jesuit priest, rising to Archbishop, then Cardinal, and ultimately, in 1930, canonized with sainthood, and proclaimed a "Doctor of the Church," by Pope Pius XI. A small man, who never wanted anything more than to be a teacher and writer, he became one of the giants of Catholic history and a definitive supporter of the doctrines of papal supremacy.
'The church,' says Luther, has never burned a heretic.' . . I reply that this argument proves not the opinion, but the ignorance or impudence of Luther. Since almost infinite numbers were either burned or otherwise killed, Luther either did not know it, and was therefore ignorant, or if he was not ignorant, he is convicted of impudence and falsehood, — for that heretics were often burned by the Church may be proved from many examples. Cardinal Robert Bellarmine, Disputationes de Controversiis, Tom. ii, Lib. III, cap. XXII, ― Objections Answered, 1682 edition.
"Among the chief heretical beliefs of the Anabaptists and Antitrinitarians of our time there is one that says that it is not lawful for Christians to hold magistracy and that among Christians there must not be power of capital punishment, etc., in any government, tribunal, or court. Stefania Tutino translation of De Laicis, p. 5.
In reply to the point - Experience shows that terror is not useful, Bellarmine wrote:
"I reply, experience proves the contrary - for the Donatists, Manicheans, and Albigenses were routed and annihilated by arms."
In reply to the argument that Christ gave the church a spiritual sword, the Word of God, not a material one to address converting or persecuting, Bellarmine replied:
"As the church has ecclesiastical and secular princes, who are her two arms; so she has two swords, the spiritual and the material; and therefore when her right hand is unable to convert the heretic with the sword of the spirit she invokes the aid of the left hand and coerces heretics with the material sword."
Bellarmine believed, wholeheartedly, in the right of the church to control the secular power to punish heretics.
A time will come when all people on Earth will bow down to the authority of a pope, propped up by all power, signs, and lying wonders, achieved through the Devil's deceptions through the man of sin, the son pf perdition, that wicked servant of rebellion and disobedience to a plain Thus saith the Lord. It does not matter what kind of guy the pope seems to be. It does not matter that he seems religious or sincere. They have made claims to supremacy over all Christendom, in the name of Christ, in the place of Christ. It is a blasphemous entity.
Given the scope of the internet, you can read plenty of rebuttals to the claims of Protestantism. I would close with the words we have read: If any man have an ear, let him hear.
Right now, all of this seems a subject for past history, not current events. Bear in mind, Bellarmine, staunch supporter of the doctrine of handling the material sword to persecute and remove heretics, like Augustine, like Aquinas, like others in Rome's history before him, was made a saint in 1930, and a Doctor of the Church, in '31. Hardly an antique move of religion in past history. Despite popish apologies, Rome has never recanted or abolished its position on punishing heretics, nor any other doctrine exposed in these studies. She has never erred, nor can she, is her official position.
Persecution of Christians by professed Christians, is coming again. Christ said it. It shall happen. Right now secularism seems to be the greatest danger to religious faith and freedom and liberty of conscience. In the future that shall change. I'll address that when we look at the second beast of Rev. 13.
Remember this. Rome says, We are the true church, therefore we teach the truth.
Protestantism states, We teach the truth, therefore we are the true church.
There is a huge gulf between those two propositions. Yet, the RCC and Evangelical churches draw closer and closer together with each passing year.
The number of churches in Protestantism, which Rome claims is reason enough to reject it, shall be dealt with in a future study on prophetic Babylon.
The Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church is the only power in world history that meets all the marks of identification in Scripture exposing the power of 'antechristos," putting itself "in place of Christ."
Just keep watching. Various voices for over half a century have been promoting a one world order, and some have put forth the idea that a pope should be in that order, being both a political/state ruler, and a religious one, of a denomination, organization, conglomerate corporation of over 1 billion people. Regardless of detours, scandals, upheavals, and their own heretics, the deadly wound shall be completely healed one day, soon enough, and then shall the end come.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Have you seen the videos of the Professor/Body Language guy watching a Bill Gates interview? Talk about Gates pointing a finger and three pointing back at him. And there are a bunch of these videos now, regarding his comments about his relationship to dead pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein.

I don't even really agree with a lot of the information out there about body language but, those people are obviously certain they can read Gates, and it doesn't look good for Bill and misinformation/disinformation. When I watch doctors commenting on this COVID and mRNA technology event, as a danger to humanity's health, there is no underlying body language to condemn them. They all speak like they know exactly what they are talking about. No hesitations. No nervousness. Nothing but, solid conclusions from solid research and medical knowledge, while Fauci flip-flops, backsteps, reverses, sidesteps and denies, denies, denies, even when point blank caught lying. You cannot make this stuff up.
So while all these people out there have or are pummeling the unvaxxed in their verbal attacks, like Howard Stern, Gene Simmons, other celebrities and political entities, like non-president Biden, more and more celebs and political entities are speaking out against the mRNA injections or other particular types of "vaccines."
How entertaining, or astonishing would aliens find this current warfare among humans? Is Bill Gates going to go after Senator Rand Paul? Is he going to go after Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of the mRNA technology? How about the tens of thousands of medical professionals around the world speaking out, writing, demonstrating their concerns and outright fears, in study after study?
Fauci says, the science, the science. Heart expert, Dr. Peter McCullough, says, the science, the science. Who is misinforming the public about the science?
This is an actual, literal war now. Two sides have aligned and it is consistently heating up. Alex Jones' moniker, InfoWars, is accurate. Jones, himself, put out a profanity-laced response to Gene Simmons. It's pretty rough, to say the least but, at the end of it he shows Simmons clips of various injection proponents admitting to the failures of the fluids, and how Simmons is flat-out wrong in his assessment of the situation between the vaxxed and the unvaxxed.
One side has detractors crazy enough to wish death on the other side. Some of them have died, most likely from adverse effects of the injections. They were perfectly fine and healthy enough to attack the unvaxxed. Then, they die. Does anybody on their side wake up? Nope. As if there were not enough problems dividing countries, Covid has now become THE greatest divider in human history. Worse then Thanksgiving dinners busted up by discussion of Donald Trump, this year's dinners are already busted up by families not inviting the unvaxxed.
As force from one side gets used more and more, to control humanity, pushing the forced side to the walls of freedom and liberty, they are only going to cause more stands and push back.
Do you know what the dividing line will ultimately be? Death. People, if the science is correct, are going to begin dying at such an alarming rate those pushing misinformation and disinformation, lies, distortions, perversions of truth, and government tyranny will have nowhere to go, because too many billions of people have refused to get injected. Too many will be able to stand and say, YOU ARE THE PROVEN LIARS AND TYRANTS! YOU ARE THE DEVILS BEHIND ALL THIS! But, by then, too late.
It is beyond sickening the subject will be corralled by death. As one side seeks to terminate free and open discussion, supposedly a hallmark of real science, the other side just has to stand and watch the horror of what the liars and planners have put into action.
The executioners have already planned for any possible blowback but, as Dr. Vernon Coleman has stressed, the miscalculations of what is going to happen will be something the planners will not be able to avoid - death, because the science predicts an extinction event. If protocols are not discovered that can stop the march of nanoparticle destruction of the human species on planet Earth, we are in more trouble than a meteor, the size of Nebraska, hitting the globe at 30,000 mph.
So, the aliens look at all this and decide this is the craziest species they have yet encountered out there, and now that the planet is covered with nanoparticle death, they traverse on to see if any actual intelligence can be found somewhere else in the galaxy.
God help us.

The executioners have already planned for any possible blowback but, as Dr. Vernon Coleman has stressed, the miscalculations of what is going to happen will be something the planners will not be able to avoid - death, because the science predicts an extinction event. If protocols are not discovered that can stop the march of nanoparticle destruction of the human species on planet Earth, we are in more trouble than a meteor, the size of Nebraska, hitting the globe at 30,000 mph.
So, the aliens look at all this and decide this is the craziest species they have yet encountered out there, and now that the planet is covered with nanoparticle death, they traverse on to see if any actual intelligence can be found somewhere else in the galaxy.
God help us.

422. Dr. Scott Youngblood - 7 Minute Education Feast - Nov. 17, 2021

That link is to a video of Dr. Scott Youngblood, educating the San Diego Board of Supervisors with a 7 minute slide presentation on Covid, vaccines, mandates, etc.
I've never heard of the man, being a local doctor (as far as I know), in the San Diego area but, he's a Rock star now, to those at that meeting, especially in Gavin Newsome's tyrannical California. But, you see, truth is truth. It does not matter who it makes angry or who it makes happy. A response to truth has nothing to do with it being truth. Truth is truth. Truth always does that. Some are gratified by it and some hate it. Those who hate it and recoil, demand a halt, and attempt to censor or ban or keep it hidden in some way because there is some light shining in darkness and things get revealed and exposed. They cannot call the truth error. Well, they can, and do. They will lie, cheat, twist, pervert, and do anything they can to defeat the truth.
When I write a blog, I read it through a couple times to check for typos. Spell check does its job but, sometimes I miss them because other things underlined in red are not spelled correctly because they aren't even words, like "vaxxed," "unvaxxed," or they are names, etc. Then there are the words that are spelled correctly but, the wrong word to use in context. It can be a small word and sometimes the brain will put the right word in your mind as you read along because of years of reading comprehension. Same with misspelled words. Other times, the right spelling but, wrong word can mess up the comprehension of a sentence's meaning. Those are the ones I really need to catch.
The mRNA injections carry code meant to tell and give cells something; instructions. As we eventually approach 1,000,000 adverse effects in America, recorded in VAERS, only 1-10% of the real figures of what is happening, anyone with half a percentage point of common sense would realize something is so wrong with these vaccines they must be halted. Period. Improper information, typos that are ruining how cells read instructions, are being injected into people. Take away all the possible nefarious reasons behind the virus and "vaccines." Take away all the research done on them and what researchers have found in them. The fact is, the injections are harming as many people as the virus, itself. WHY would the main stream media, and Fauci, and Gates, and politicians, and all the other censors out there, like the tech social platforms, not cover that? Rather, they call it "misinformation" when the numbers are coming from VAERS, and other recognized, international reporting systems. Why are some of the world's TOP medical scientists being shut down about this? Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and all the rest are not allowing anything to be seen or heard, under the guise of "misinformation." Since when is disagreeing with a medical issue "misinformation?" Doctors do it in hospitals every single day, patient to patient, problem to problem, approach to approach.
Doctors could not tell me why I had a stroke. They guessed. They put me on meds, one of which had a massive class action lawsuit against it. I did my due diligence. I always research. I have done research since the day I was born again and began to actually study for once in my life.
Less than two thirds of Americans have been injected. More than half but, less than enough to satisfy the Gates/Fauci cabal, even when BOTH have now come out and stated the vaccines are not working, and Fauci even mentioned the situation in Israel, where the majority of the population are injected yet, new cases are exploding. Fauci's plan? Booster shots. More of the same. More spikes replicated in the humans injected. More "typos" confusing cells, messing up people's immune systems. More development of over 25 different possible adverse effects exploding all around the world. The msm stays hitched to their corporate masters. The mouthpieces of madness continue to place blame on the unvaxxed with TOTAL disregard of natural immunity among billions of people. They continue the fear, which is no longer working so now, they must use force.
The term "endemic" is being tossed around, trying to get people used to the idea that this virus will never go away. EVERYONE MUST BE VACCINATED. Well, the Flu never goes away, either and every year tens of thousands of people die. Except... last year, which should raise an enormous red flag. Every flu season, No masks, No mandates, No official reasons, remedies, or radical ramrodding things down people's throats, No big difference between states run by Republicans versus Democrats. People choose for themselves whether to get vaccinated against new flu strains. But , now...
Dr. Youngblood hit it out of the park. He was able to make a coherent case against mandates in just 7 minutes. The powers that be will call it "misinformation." The mandates are the ONLY answer. The injections are the ONLY protocol. Down with any other voices, down with any other approaches and remedies and products. ONLY the OFFICIAL PUSH for VACCINATION WILL BE ACCEPTED.
If common sense does not tell you there is something wrong with that, you do not have any common sense.
For those who do, who see, who understand, and who stand up and say, NO! More power to them, ESPECIALLY now that the cabal is vaccinating little children.
Here's a question. Fauci is all over main stream media. Interviews and even a totally failed documentary about him. Why will he not do an interview or have a public debate on the Tucker Carlson program or the Stew Peters' Show or any of the other dozens of podcasts out there?
NEFARIOUS is the only logical explanation for all of this. All of it.

423. Rappers to Rockers Flying The Flag - November 17, 2021
Ted Nugent has a new song and video out, 'Come and Take It.' It's Classic Nugent: in your face Hard Rock. Nobody in America, that knows of Ted Nugent, questions his respect and love for the principles of Americanism and the Constitution. In many respects, he has been a lone voice in the music industry, save for Country and Gospel music. In Rock, down through the decades, he has stayed consistent. Love him or hate him, he does not back down and stands immovable on principles of freedom and liberty and justice for all.
The way things are now going, he is no longer alone. From Rap to Rock more and more voices are rising to speak out against tyranny, and in some cases their songs are on the top of the charts. Americans, well, at least half of them anyway, are hungry for voices standing up against the destruction of America, if not the destruction of freedom and liberty in the whole world, where it has been experienced. That is why millions have come here, and go anywhere freedom and liberty are principles woven into the fabric of society and civilization.
I am predicting the radical Marxist Leftists are going to go after Nugent for this new song. They will accuse him and it of promoting violence. It will not phase him, and just give him a platform to speak his mind on the Communist infiltrators and their junk ideology.
Going after Nugent will just ignite a fire under more musicians to speak out, which will ignite more Americans to speak out. Just like in Christian history: the blood of the martyrs was the seed of the Gospel, going after popular music acts will plant seeds all over the place, in minds that have not seen the reality of what is happening yet. Tyranny always uses force; police state action. They cannot have a rational conversation over the usefulness of their ideas. They have no useful ideas, only thoughts of control, and if you disagree you must be shut down. It happening in Australia and New Zealand now, and other countries. Just speaking out on social media can get you arrested. It is coming to America, it is even here, already, in some cases where people lose employment for personally speaking out.
Back in July of 2020 I mentioned the start of a musical partnership with guitarist, Gary Hendrickson, and the production of patriotic music addressing aspects of God, country, family, patriotism, rule of law, current events, American history, and more. I knew in my bones there was a need, and Americans would respond. Gary came up with incredible music, some of which was really outside his normal zone of writing. I wrote lyrics for over 3 dozen songs. I know, I mean, I KNOW that music would have been a successful venture, no doubts in my mind. None. The timing was right, the content was good, and despite communication issues, things moved along and we came right down to the end: mixing and mastering and... well, as I later mentioned, Gary decided to pull out over marketing differences. I had a vision. I saw a wide field of audience, even those not really into the kind of Hard Rock Gary normally produces, because Gary was writing variations that were genius. I do not abuse the term. He wrote some magnificent music to set the lyrics to, and I knew this was going to be received by a potentially huge audience.
I recently wrote to Gary and appealed to him to release some of it, even if it wasn't finally mixed or mastered, and put it on his website because people would appreciate it and need it right now. I did not receive a reply so, I guess Gary has moved on and that's a choice I'm saddened by but, for that short season of time, I felt involved in something really important and worthy of all effort to make it work. I now see the realization of my original thoughts and feelings, as more and more artists speak out on what is happening, and success is following their efforts and stands taken.
Over a hundred million people do love the principles of Americanism, hate the corruption in their faces day in, day out, know things cannot keep going this way without complete rupture and demise, and feel the need to have something spearhead a movement to conquer the evil in our midst. Make no mistake, it is evil.
The Beatles changed the world. No one can disregard their place in history. For better or worse, music changed the world in that first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, 1964, and what transpired after it.
Can music be the spearhead to change things now? It has certainly been used to corrupt a couple generations. Can it now be used to bring back a time when, yes, there was plenty to agree to disagree on but, at least people were free to do so. Now? That simple premise is threatened and under attack. We are engaged in a literal war now. A war of principle versus policy. A war of ideologies. A war of liberty versus tyranny. A war for the survival of, not only America but, all of Western civilization.
I'm really expectant to see music spearhead a movement of freedom and liberty in America. Who will the artists be? The well-known and familiar? Entirely new ones, with bold ideas?
Time will tell. The time is now.

424. Later to the Discussion on "Dislikes" - November 18, 2021
I was watching a YT video this morning on how to mix tracks using Audacity. Going through all my woes and wins expressed on the Recording Blog, I'm now certain I can mix and master any drum solo recordings I may yet get into or release current raw recordings of. It takes awhile for concepts and instructions to get through the massive swirl of stuff constantly spinning around in my mind but, if I persist, later than sooner, something clicks.
Anyway, as I was watching, I noticed there were no dislikes on the video, which seemed odd because the guy was not the most articulate fellow and his teaching skills were lacking cohesiveness. In checking out another video, I noticed the same. I went to my own channel, REFondrums, and saw the same there. All the Dislikes were gone.
I did a search and found that YT decided to experiment with the entire "Dislike" subject back in the Spring. No surprise here but, it has become, almost a game, where viewers gang up on a video creator and "dislike" their videos into oblivion. YT can be a very mean place because of anonymity. There is no accountability or responsibility where people are basically anonymous and invisible. One might think the really young would be the biggest offenders but, no. All ages get involved in voicing opinions they would never do, face to face. If they don't feel like it, or cannot type well enough to express themselves, or for whatever other reason, they can just click "Dislike."
Personally, I'd like to know why dislikes are registered on my own videos. Is it a technical thing? Is it content? Is it my personality? Is it my weight gain? Is it any number of other parameters that caused someone to dislike a video? You can't know.
I take the time to respond to negative comments. Rational discourse is important. I can generally diffuse people that might really disagree with something and we may end up agreeing to disagree but, at least we entered into a useful path to try and understand each other. Some people, no. There's no open door to walk through. They hit and run. That's it.
Totally removing the Dislike option, at least as far as viewers looking for guidance about watching a video as time worthy, seems ill-advised. If I see a large number of dislikes, I'm going into the video figuring I won't be there long because I will experience what and why people disliked the video.
YT claims to have done a lot of research on this since they first disabled the option. Ultimately, you can still dislike a video but, the numbers will not tabulate for viewers. Creators can view dislike numbers behind the scenes though, and still get an idea of how a video is being received.
Here's what really caught my attention. In reading articles on the subject (and there are plenty of them), I saw the exact, I mean exact same positions and attitudes as exist in the overall American society now: Right, Left, "Center." Comments on articles went back and forth like heated political commentary. It was seriously bothersome to see conspiracy theories of why this has been done, by those on the Right, and to see the "tin foil hat" accusations by people on the Left, and people in the center that see both sides and can't seem to develop a definitive position, or just don't care. People either take YT at its word or not. It's the same as how people see every politician.
The reason for that is YT's positions on previous issues. They have staked their flag. It's color is blue. It tolerates Red only just so far, then, warnings, censoring, bans and all the rest. Some commenters on the Right claimed the usual Google/YouTube Leftist bent they have - which is decidedly true, banning everything in sight not in keeping with their own ideology - being the reason to derail the dislike option because of all the dislikes appearing on everything involving Joe Biden and his supporters. "Let's Go Brandon," and all that. Insult Donald Trump all you like. Biden? No. Can't do that. Witness the ridiculous debacle in Congress right now over the Gosar video.
The people on the Left in the dislike discussion just get into how people's feelings get hurt when dislikes get tallied, and people on the Right are just unfeeling morons. I mean, it is the exact same thing as reading comments on anything and everything political, these days.
It just totally confirmed my own convictions America is hopelessly divided. It's hopeless. Does not matter what subject you pick, everything has been shaved down to Right, Left, Center, and right now, as America spins out of control (as far as people on the Right are concerned), people in the Center are moving Right in droves. That's important as far as elections. That includes numbers of people moving into the "We think the 2020 election was not honest" category. YT has decided to ban discussion on that subject, discussion on anything Covid, not in harmony with the "official" position, and other subjects where evidence to the contrary can be shared. It's juvenile and hypocritical, really, given YT's entire reason for starting up to begin with: to give any and all people a voice. They like to claim, as most people on the Left do, that "misinformation" must not be allowed. Funny that.
When it comes to health, YT has no reasonable or demonstrable people able to comment on the subject as part of their team. That means Anthony Fauci is controlling discussion on YT. Who else is there, seen as the figurehead of the "official" position on Covid for the last 23 months? Considering Fauci's constant waffling and extreme unwillingness to engage dissention on his opinions, this little, 80 year old man, with an investigated, checkered medical past is hardly the guy you want out front, 24/7. Same with Bill Gates. I have learned more about Bill Gates in the last 23 months than in the last 23 years, and most all of it is damning. To put walls around Fauci, as YT has done, from at least hardline commentary on the Right (FOX news hardly has that position anymore), shows, not only the political stripe of YT handlers but, also incredible ignorance of science, as rendered by top people in medical science fields commenting on the last year and half against Fauci's protocols.
My YT channel is about drums and drumming. I don't get into anything else so, as much as I truly dislike Google/YT's attitude towards open discussion... Oh, I have to mention this. I see something new is afoot in online jargon. If you are canceled, banned, etc., you have been "zuckered." Man, is that appropriate. A zucker punch.
I haven't placed anything on YT in months so, it isn't as though my channel is a prime mover in my life. I have some things coming up. Just finishing up details on some new drums and set-up and the like. I have a little over 1000 subscribers and I'm fairly certain 90% of them are not that seriously into what I present. I really appreciate those who tune in and leave comments that are encouraging to me, as the videos are a blessing to them. That seems the spirit of what YT was supposed to be about but, no longer.
If YT has, indeed, placed this moratorium on the Dislike button to safeguard video creators from actual bombardment that means nothing to actual content and just satisfies the childish attitudes of the bombers, so be it.
If they have placed this moratorium to safeguard their own ruling ideology from being overturned by dissension and another side of evidence, it's just one more reason to realize how Marxist big tech is and how dangerous it thereby has become to everything that makes America, America.
It has become my position Google (and its tentacles, like YT), is not American in nature, not American in practice, and exists as an entirely hypocritical organization practicing Marxism, while enjoying capitalism that has made it the gargantuan company it is.
That attitude is permeating all society now and at some point a rupture will take place.
I saw an article yesterday about a police officer who discovered piles of bricks on skids on a side street in Kenosha. No building or construction site around. It appears, like the riots and chaos of 2020 and pallets of bricks found in various cities around the nation, a demonstration of violent disagreement with a perceived Rittenhouse acquittal is being staged.
To me, the difference between Antifa and Google is zilch. Judgment day will come for both. Trust me. They will Dislike it.
Anyway, as I was watching, I noticed there were no dislikes on the video, which seemed odd because the guy was not the most articulate fellow and his teaching skills were lacking cohesiveness. In checking out another video, I noticed the same. I went to my own channel, REFondrums, and saw the same there. All the Dislikes were gone.

When it comes to health, YT has no reasonable or demonstrable people able to comment on the subject as part of their team. That means Anthony Fauci is controlling discussion on YT. Who else is there, seen as the figurehead of the "official" position on Covid for the last 23 months? Considering Fauci's constant waffling and extreme unwillingness to engage dissention on his opinions, this little, 80 year old man, with an investigated, checkered medical past is hardly the guy you want out front, 24/7. Same with Bill Gates. I have learned more about Bill Gates in the last 23 months than in the last 23 years, and most all of it is damning. To put walls around Fauci, as YT has done, from at least hardline commentary on the Right (FOX news hardly has that position anymore), shows, not only the political stripe of YT handlers but, also incredible ignorance of science, as rendered by top people in medical science fields commenting on the last year and half against Fauci's protocols.
My YT channel is about drums and drumming. I don't get into anything else so, as much as I truly dislike Google/YT's attitude towards open discussion... Oh, I have to mention this. I see something new is afoot in online jargon. If you are canceled, banned, etc., you have been "zuckered." Man, is that appropriate. A zucker punch.
I haven't placed anything on YT in months so, it isn't as though my channel is a prime mover in my life. I have some things coming up. Just finishing up details on some new drums and set-up and the like. I have a little over 1000 subscribers and I'm fairly certain 90% of them are not that seriously into what I present. I really appreciate those who tune in and leave comments that are encouraging to me, as the videos are a blessing to them. That seems the spirit of what YT was supposed to be about but, no longer.
If YT has, indeed, placed this moratorium on the Dislike button to safeguard video creators from actual bombardment that means nothing to actual content and just satisfies the childish attitudes of the bombers, so be it.
If they have placed this moratorium to safeguard their own ruling ideology from being overturned by dissension and another side of evidence, it's just one more reason to realize how Marxist big tech is and how dangerous it thereby has become to everything that makes America, America.
It has become my position Google (and its tentacles, like YT), is not American in nature, not American in practice, and exists as an entirely hypocritical organization practicing Marxism, while enjoying capitalism that has made it the gargantuan company it is.
That attitude is permeating all society now and at some point a rupture will take place.
I saw an article yesterday about a police officer who discovered piles of bricks on skids on a side street in Kenosha. No building or construction site around. It appears, like the riots and chaos of 2020 and pallets of bricks found in various cities around the nation, a demonstration of violent disagreement with a perceived Rittenhouse acquittal is being staged.
To me, the difference between Antifa and Google is zilch. Judgment day will come for both. Trust me. They will Dislike it.

425. Archbishop Carlo Vigano - November 19, 2021
I have mentioned Archbishop Vigano in the past, here, in relation to comments made during Trump's first term. He has spoken out against things he sees wrong with positions Pope Francis has taken and called on him to resign back in 2018. He is not on the favorites list of the Vatican. He was an apostolic nuncio, a diplomat, or ambassador, if you will, from the Vatican to the U.S.A., 2011 - 2016.
The RCC, like any organization, sees Vigano in both a positive and negative light. He is a active, non-stop hero to some and a loaded, rolling cannon who needs to keep his mouth shut, to others. He exposed corruption in the Vatican financial system back in 2012. In regards to the pedophile scandals within the RCC, Vigano has some question marks about his refusal to investigate some claims made against Cardinal McCarrick back in 2018. McCarrick is a serial predator that ruined the lives of many young priests and others. Vigano believed the Pope should resign be cause of his lack of investigating charges against McCarrick. So goes the merry-go-round of Vatican intrigue.
I bring him up this morning because of an open letter, a call to all people of faith to join together to rise up as one against the NWO, Great Reset, Globalist Totalitarians.
In the past I remember other such calls to clasp hands together, between Catholics, Protestants, and other religious faiths. Back in the 1980s there were calls to join together to fight Communism, abortion, world hunger, and other big issues. Those alive remember the explosion of interest when the eastern Bloc of Communism and "the Wall" came down in 1989, then the Soviet Union, itself, collapsed. JP2 was found to be the major inspiration and guide for that movement of millions of people in Eastern Europe and Russia. It was discovered the Vatican has communication systems that rival anything the CIA has.
Archbishop Vigano has become quite a popular guy with Evangelicals because of his speaking out on issues they concur with. His recent open letter is another example. Titled "An Appeal For An Anti-Globalist Alliance," it has received praise from people of faith and castigation from sectors of society, like the LGBTQ movement, who see it as the ravings of a mad man.
The letter can be found here, where I originally saw it:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/11/huge-exclusive-archbishop-carlo-maria-vigano-calls-people-faith-unite-worldwide-anti-globalist-alliance-free-humanity-totalitarian-regime-video/
"Fundamental rights, which up until yesterday were presented as inviolable, have been trampled underfoot in the name of an emergency: today a health emergency, tomorrow an ecological emergency, and after that an internet emergency."
Indeed, Vigano's protests cover a wide range of topics. Speaking about "tomorrow" and "after that," causes me to wonder if Vigano is not privy to coming events.
You see, just because a voice within the RCC claims harmony with those outside of it, does not necessarily make it so. Vigano is a Vatican insider. He has worked for the "Holy See" since around 1973. He has doctorates in Vatican and Civil Law. This guy is no slouch when it comes to understanding world events in our time. He has been a big supporter of Trump, who had his own things to say about the way the Vatican does things, like having a wall around it. Statements from the Pope about border security are pretty duplicitous, all things considered.
"This global coup d’état deprives citizens of any possibility of defense, since the legislative, executive, and judicial powers are complicit in the violation of law, justice, and the purpose for which they exist. It is a global coup d’état because this criminal attack against citizens extends to the whole world, with very rare exceptions. It is a world war, where the enemies are all of us, even those who unwittingly have not yet understood the significance of what is happening. It is a war fought not with weapons but with illegitimate rules, wicked economic policies, and intolerable limitations of natural rights."
From an American patriotic, Conservative point of view, he's insightfully correct. I would have the reader be aware of something, though. When I did evangelism and spoke on prophecy and the RCC I showed something that never failed to cause gasps in the assembly. It is the Extreme Oath of Induction of the Jesuit priest. It came to light in a court proceeding and ended up on file in the Congressional Record. It was a contested case of someone running for office. Interestingly, when that book of the Congressional Record was examined, the page showing the record of the proceedings for the date, in 1913, was torn out. I remember speaking with a gentleman in TN, back in the 1990s, where I was holding a seminar, in the Collegedale area. He claimed to have a copy of the Record with the oath. I was leaving the day I spoke with him and he was reticent to show it to me because of the dangers that came with it. I was undeterred but, the timing never worked out.
The oath can be seen all over the web. RC denials are also all over the web. When you read the oath, keep in mind the policy of looking as Protestant as possible, even to complete denunciation of the pope, that the Roman Church might be gainer in the end.
https://www.alamoministries.com/content/english/Antichrist/jesuitoath.html
I question anything and everything I see from the Vatican and RCC. In the last 40 years I have read, from volumes of the RCC itself, it's history and positions on "heretics." It is not an institution that should be trusted. It has many fine and sincere people in it, like all institutions do. Just look at the FBI as an example. Yet, within these institutions are vipers. They existed in the leadership of the Jews in Christ's day, and they exist today, as well, in all churches, all institutions. The FBI pats itself on the back for its abilities to infiltrate and operate within organizations it is investigating. The same can be said for all kinds of organizations and corporate espionage. If anyone thinks the Jesuit Order, with its close to 500 years of experience, is not miles ahead of any and all organizations on Earth, when it comes to infiltration, think again.
It will be interesting to see how Vigano's plea is acted upon by people of faith. It may figure highly into the subject of prophetic Babylon and the triad union found in the book of Revelation. We'll get there.
For now, I express caution on Vigano's call. He may be one of the sincere ones. I might watch for a couple things. Vigano's untimely demise, or the untimely demise of Francis, and rise to Cardinal and the Chair of Peter by Vigano.
Oh, trust me, stranger things have happened.

426. More Identifying Marks of Rome - November 20, 2021
Before we take a look at the second Beast of Revelation 13, I'd like to show you a few more concise identifying marks of the first Beast found in other biblical references.
We identified the first beast as the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church; a position known and taken by all Protestants for at least three centuries before apostasy in its own ranks began to waver and water down that understanding.
The one driving element that gave the Reformation such a unifying force and power was the knowledge and understanding that their position in history was foretold by virtue of their enemy which was the entire known Christian church at that time, ruling an empire, persecuting all others that would not bow to its rule, and yet living in such wealth and debauchery, Martin Luther, the German priest, when visiting Rome stated, if there's a hell Rome is built on top of it. It is a city whence proceeds every known vice and sin. He was shocked at how the priesthood in Rome lived, and how the Pope, himself, was surrounded by gold and jewels. He was not representative of the lowly Carpenter of Nazareth but, of the proud Pontiffs of Caesars.
There are dozens of identifying marks of the power of antichrist in Scripture; not just more within Daniel and Revelation, as we shall yet see but, within many other books, as well.
1Tim 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1Tim 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
1Tim 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
1Tim 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
1Tim 4:5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
Paul warns, again, as he did in Acts 20:28-30, and a passage we shall visit next, that a major apostasy was going to occur and take away many believers. They will give heed to doctrines of devils. Strong words. Bear in mind, he is speaking of professed believers who depart the faith. Hypocrisy shall be seen and heard and their conscience seared with a hot iron. You remember the illustration I used in another post; the wounded ranch hand, gored by a bull. What to do with a gaping would? Sear it closed with a hot iron and hope the victim does not internally bleed to death. It was a practice known for ages. Paul states the conscience of the apostates shall be seared with a hot iron. He takes an opposite approach. The searing keeps truth from working into the conscience. It has been blunted and seared over by the hot iron of apostasy, and lies shall be believed as truth.
Look at the two marks he lays down next. Forbidding to marry. Anyone with any knowledge of the RCC knows that their priests are not allowed to marry. That was not always so. Peter, himself, had a wife. The gospels mention he had a mother-in-law. If Peter was married, when did celibacy enter the apostate church? Documents show the idea was found as far back as the fourth century. Gregory the Great made it mandatory in the 11th century for all priests everywhere, though documentation can also be found that well into the 12th century priests were still marrying.
Seven Popes were known to be married. Eleven popes were the sons of other popes or priests. Six popes were known to have children beyond the 12th century into the 16th century. Scandals have been a constant source of grievance for the RCC over time, persisting into the 21st. While many Catholic authors praise the affects of celibacy on their priesthood and history, Protestant authors and Catholics, as well have been ready to file a stream of scandals, debauchery, and "sin" associated with the strains of celibacy that gave rise to rebellion by entire villages and cities where such scandals rocked society and priests were run out of town. Books written on the practices of priests, via the confessional, became literary sensations. Books on both convent and monastery life could not be printed fast enough to meet the demands of both Catholic and Protestant readers.
This is not to state Protestant ministry has not seen its share of problems but, the clergy can be married and address natural desires God placed in man, to be met by the confines and blessings of marriage. Demanding celibacy creates pressures beyond the capability of normal men to bury and keep dormant. The entire situation becomes a daily burden of thought and action or lack thereof.
The apostle Paul chose to be unmarried, which, itself, is argued because Paul was a young priest and priests were commanded to be married by Jewish law. It is logical to conclude when Paul became a Christian, leaving a very promising life of the Jewish priesthood behind, his wife may have seen to it Paul was no longer invited into their home and out he went. The emotional pain Paul may have suffered made it easier to just stay single, all things considered. Jews considered family members who became Christian converts, dead to them.
The second mentioned identifying mark of apostasy is commanding to abstain from foods God created to be received with thanksgiving, if it is set apart as food in the Word (don't miss that point). The Greek word translated "meat" in the KJV, is "bromata," which means food. Some may remember the product, Bromo-Seltzer, a tablet dropped into water which helped with indigestion.
When I grew up in the Catholic Church it was common, because of Church law, to only eat fish on Fridays. Many other calendar days are set apart for fasting in the RCC. Fasting is a common, biblical activity but, not demanded by decree. The Roman Church, consistent with its foundation of man-made religion by twisting and perverting truth, simply stated because Christ was crucified on a Friday, people should not eat red meat or any animal flesh but fish only on that day. The Council of American Bishops dropped the prohibition of eating other animal flesh on Fridays, in the latter 20th century, though during the 40 days of Lent, the prohibition remains.
Many, if not most Catholics have no idea that passage of Scripture exists. Nor are they aware of the next example of warning.
2Thes 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2Thes 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
2Thes 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2Thes 2:4 Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Paul wrote to the church at Thessalonica that they should not be shaken up by any reports that Christ was imminently returning. A "falling away," an "apostasia," is what the Greek word is, where the English word, "apostasy" comes from; would come first. It would reveal "the man of sin." Christ called Judas the son of "perdition." The son of ruin and destruction. The man of sin would ruin and destroy the "faith once delivered unto the saints," Jude 1:3,4.
2Cor 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people."
There is a temple in heaven which the earthly temple was patterned after. There is the temple of the believer, as the Spirit of God dwells within. No other temples are required, warranted, necessary or allowed. The Vatican is a temple of apostasy.
We have seen just some of the statements from the Church of Rome, itself, on the exaltation of popes and its Papacy; "in place of Christ."
"But since We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty,..." Pope Leo XIII, Encyclical, The Reunion of Christendom, 1894.
Once again, just do an image search of the Vatican, St. Peter's Basilica Bernini's Hall, and look at the temple created for popes to say the Mass, to be high and exalted, to rule the earth. That is the final and ultimate goal of Rome. To rule the Earth. That all humanity should be Roman Catholic, for that is the teaching of Rome. JP2 went around the world as an ambassador for Rome, liking everybody, and seeking unity with everybody, loved and admired but, never has the doctrine of relationship to the RCC for salvation been rescinded or removed. It remains. Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Sallus: Outside the Church there is no salvation.
Paul wrote more:
2Thes 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
2Thes 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
2Thes 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2Thes 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2Thes 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2Thes 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
The mystery of iniquity had already begun to be seen in Paul's day. The mystery of godliness is that God became a man, in Christ, 1 Tim. 3:16. The mystery of iniquity is that of a man seeking to become God. That was Lucifer's downfall, "I would be like the Most High," and he continues to work it out through Rome, through the Pontiffs: the chief bridge builders between God and man - Pontifex Maximus. Whether the Caesars or popes, no matter. It is all the same thing, a continuation of an empire of man on behalf of the pagan gods of Olympus or the God of the Bible. It is all a counterfeit path to heaven. Paul could see a policy at work that would lead to a great falling away.
Heresies, apostasy, not Judaism, another whole problem in the church but, pagan ideas, philosophy, opinions that were becoming entrenched in certain places where such philosophers could stand and speak and twist the words of Paul, the writings of the other apostles and the even Gospels and teachings of Christ but, God allowed it to develop, so a demarcation between truth and error could be more easily seen and defended against. The apostle John wrote his Gospel and epistles to specifically address many false teachings that were floating around and gaining ground. Peter and Jude wrote against what was happening among false teachers drawing away disciples after them. It began early and man-made traditions, perversions of truth, well-suited to meet the Gentile masses and more easily convert them to the new faith, became the rule. It caused dramatic divisions and history has it all written down.
Satan has and shall yet use the Papacy to showcase ALL his power, signs and lying wonders he can produce, to deceive the world. Those who do not love the truth will believe the lies: they shall have no shield against them. We have not yet seen the final display of deception planned for the globe, putting the Man of sin on top of a heap of apostasy so big, it reaches heaven and God shall strike it down in total embarrassment and dust when Christ returns. How many popes shall be resurrected to see Christ return in power and glory they claimed for themselves? How many will cry for the rocks and mountains to fall on them and hide from their eyes the face of the Lamb, piercing their souls with truth and terror?
This is not just one church among thousands of others. It is not just choosing liturgical worship over more simple forms. It is not about a man that walks around with a silver crucifix, wearing white all the time. It is about apostasy from truth. There are no thrones, no regalia, no crowns, no miters, no jewels, no gold, no bowing before and kissing rings and feet, no architecture meant to bring heaven to Earth and all the rest of man-made religion's exaltation, in the truth of God's word about Christ and His church, His body. He is the Head of the body and there is no room for "infallible" Vicars. No room for priests, for all believers make a priesthood of Christ and He is High Priest in the heavenly sanctuary. No arch bishops or cardinals or popes. No nuns, for that matter, no convents and monasteries, no stations of the cross, no scapulars, no penance prayers and roseries, no statues, no candles, no borrowing from pagans and redesigning the faith to suit the tastes of perspective converts.
John Henry Newman was one of the founders of the Oxford Movement, otherwise known as the Oxford Apostasy, a movement to return the Anglican Church into the fold of the Roman Catholic Church. He left the Anglican Church in 1845, was ordained a Catholic priest and ascended to the position of Cardinal, made so by Pope Leo XIII, in 1879. He became one of Rome's greatest champions, canonized in 2019. He wrote, in his work, An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine, 1878:
"Confiding then in the power of Christianity to resist the infection of evil, and to transmute the very instruments and appendages of demon-worship to an evangelical use, and feeling also that these usages had originally come from primitive revelations and from the instinct of nature, though they had been corrupted; and that they must invent what they needed, if they did not use what they found; and that they were moreover possessed of the very archetypes, of which paganism attempted the shadows; the rulers of the Church from early times were prepared, should the occasion arise, to adopt, or imitate, or sanction the existing rites and customs of the populace, as well as the philosophy of the educated class.
"There is no reason to suppose that the license here spoken of passed the limits of harmless though rude festivity; for it is observable that the same reason, the need of holydays for the multitude, is assigned by Origen, St. Gregory's master, to explain the establishment of the Lord's Day also,...
"It is not necessary to go into a subject which the diligence of Protestant writers has made familiar to most of us. The use of temples, and these dedicated to particular saints, and ornamented on occasions with branches of trees; incense, lamps, and candles; votive offerings on recovery from illness; holy water; asylums; holydays and seasons, use of calendars, processions, blessings on the fields; sacerdotal vestments, the tonsure, the ring in marriage, turning to the East, images at a later date, perhaps the ecclesiastical chant, and the Kyrie Eleison, are all of pagan origin, and sanctified by their adoption into the Church." quotes from pages 371, 372, 373, 374
Newman was honest. He stated the case. The Roman hierarchy did what they felt necessary to make it easier for pagans to join the faith. Some of the things they did, from the establishment of Sunday, "the Lord's Day," to entire calendars of holy days, and all the rest Newman mentions, were adopted into the Roman Church. Much more could be added, like December 25th and Christmas, and Easter, sunrise services. Where did rabbits, eggs and Ishtar fertility rites, all well know and practiced times of festivity or solemn grief, worm their way into the faith? Just check out the apostasy of ancient Israel described in Ezekiel:
Eze 8:13 He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.
Eze 8:14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
Eze 8:15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
Eze 8:16 And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.
The 40 days of weeping for the death of Tammuz, son of the sun god, turned into the forty days of Lent in the Roman Church. There was no 40 days of weeping before the death of Christ. It was a pagan ritual Rome used to link the well known religion of pagans to the new faith, being corrupted with each passing decade and century, until a complete falling away had taken place, and it considered itself the ONLY true church. Complete blindness and delusion.
The only way you can worship the sun in the East is at sunrise. They turned their back on God's temple and practiced paganism. Sunrise services every Easter are completely pagan in nature. The Bible says Christ rose before sunrise that day. It was dark. He did not emerge from his tomb at day break. The women went to the sepulcher "as it began to dawn," "at the rising of the sun," "very early in the morning," "while it was yet dark," and were told by the angel Christ had already risen. Matt. 28; Mark 16; Luke 24, John 20:1.
The Catholic tradition of sunrise services, bequeathed to ignorant Protestant daughters, has nothing to do with what actually happened on the first day of the week.
Notice the judgment that comes next:
Eze 9:1 He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
Eze 9:2 And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.
Eze 9:3 And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side;
Eze 9:4 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
Eze 9:5 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
Eze 9:6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
Eze 9:7 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
Eze 9:8 And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
Eze 9:9 Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.
Eze 9:10 And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.
Eze 9:11 And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
Because of the great apostasy at that time, the corruptions of the faith, the abject paganism the leaders brought in, the people of God and the City of Jerusalem fell to the Babylonians. It was a horrible, devastating event. God said to the destroying angels to mark those who cried and sighed for those abominations that caused the downfall. They were to be spared. What Ezekiel saw in vision came to pass as the actual destruction of Jerusalem and those living within it. So it is now. The seal, the mark of the living God placed in the foreheads of his people, and a mark of apostasy placed in the foreheads or hands of the rebellious, will set all humanity apart. Obedience to God, obedience to man. Which shall mark each of us off?
As we have seen, the seal of God is the authority of God's seventh-day Sabbath of the fourth commandment of the Ten Commandments, the moral law. The mark of apostasy is the Sunday, the ancient pagan day and bequeathed to Christianity by the Roman empire through the Roman Church, put in place of God's Sabbath, the only commandment He specifically said to "Remember."
When Sunday becomes national and international law, the the apostasy of mankind shall be full, and the mark of the beast goes into effect. A time of trouble shall commence to give humanity one last chance to choose the right side and be converted to truth, to Christ, and be free of man-made religion.
Think it cannot happen?
We now live in a time of "mandates," technological control; a dividing of all humanity based on injections, penalties for resistors, bans, forced compliance, blockades and embargos. It is all leading up to final events and the end of the world and Christ's return in power and glory. Not "reality" TV, not a Hollywood blockbuster, not the newest fantasy series of books or sci-fi novel but, the actual end - of - the - world.
We'll look at Revelation 13:11-18 next.
We identified the first beast as the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church; a position known and taken by all Protestants for at least three centuries before apostasy in its own ranks began to waver and water down that understanding.
The one driving element that gave the Reformation such a unifying force and power was the knowledge and understanding that their position in history was foretold by virtue of their enemy which was the entire known Christian church at that time, ruling an empire, persecuting all others that would not bow to its rule, and yet living in such wealth and debauchery, Martin Luther, the German priest, when visiting Rome stated, if there's a hell Rome is built on top of it. It is a city whence proceeds every known vice and sin. He was shocked at how the priesthood in Rome lived, and how the Pope, himself, was surrounded by gold and jewels. He was not representative of the lowly Carpenter of Nazareth but, of the proud Pontiffs of Caesars.
There are dozens of identifying marks of the power of antichrist in Scripture; not just more within Daniel and Revelation, as we shall yet see but, within many other books, as well.
1Tim 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1Tim 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
1Tim 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
1Tim 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
1Tim 4:5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
Paul warns, again, as he did in Acts 20:28-30, and a passage we shall visit next, that a major apostasy was going to occur and take away many believers. They will give heed to doctrines of devils. Strong words. Bear in mind, he is speaking of professed believers who depart the faith. Hypocrisy shall be seen and heard and their conscience seared with a hot iron. You remember the illustration I used in another post; the wounded ranch hand, gored by a bull. What to do with a gaping would? Sear it closed with a hot iron and hope the victim does not internally bleed to death. It was a practice known for ages. Paul states the conscience of the apostates shall be seared with a hot iron. He takes an opposite approach. The searing keeps truth from working into the conscience. It has been blunted and seared over by the hot iron of apostasy, and lies shall be believed as truth.
Look at the two marks he lays down next. Forbidding to marry. Anyone with any knowledge of the RCC knows that their priests are not allowed to marry. That was not always so. Peter, himself, had a wife. The gospels mention he had a mother-in-law. If Peter was married, when did celibacy enter the apostate church? Documents show the idea was found as far back as the fourth century. Gregory the Great made it mandatory in the 11th century for all priests everywhere, though documentation can also be found that well into the 12th century priests were still marrying.
Seven Popes were known to be married. Eleven popes were the sons of other popes or priests. Six popes were known to have children beyond the 12th century into the 16th century. Scandals have been a constant source of grievance for the RCC over time, persisting into the 21st. While many Catholic authors praise the affects of celibacy on their priesthood and history, Protestant authors and Catholics, as well have been ready to file a stream of scandals, debauchery, and "sin" associated with the strains of celibacy that gave rise to rebellion by entire villages and cities where such scandals rocked society and priests were run out of town. Books written on the practices of priests, via the confessional, became literary sensations. Books on both convent and monastery life could not be printed fast enough to meet the demands of both Catholic and Protestant readers.
This is not to state Protestant ministry has not seen its share of problems but, the clergy can be married and address natural desires God placed in man, to be met by the confines and blessings of marriage. Demanding celibacy creates pressures beyond the capability of normal men to bury and keep dormant. The entire situation becomes a daily burden of thought and action or lack thereof.
The apostle Paul chose to be unmarried, which, itself, is argued because Paul was a young priest and priests were commanded to be married by Jewish law. It is logical to conclude when Paul became a Christian, leaving a very promising life of the Jewish priesthood behind, his wife may have seen to it Paul was no longer invited into their home and out he went. The emotional pain Paul may have suffered made it easier to just stay single, all things considered. Jews considered family members who became Christian converts, dead to them.
The second mentioned identifying mark of apostasy is commanding to abstain from foods God created to be received with thanksgiving, if it is set apart as food in the Word (don't miss that point). The Greek word translated "meat" in the KJV, is "bromata," which means food. Some may remember the product, Bromo-Seltzer, a tablet dropped into water which helped with indigestion.
When I grew up in the Catholic Church it was common, because of Church law, to only eat fish on Fridays. Many other calendar days are set apart for fasting in the RCC. Fasting is a common, biblical activity but, not demanded by decree. The Roman Church, consistent with its foundation of man-made religion by twisting and perverting truth, simply stated because Christ was crucified on a Friday, people should not eat red meat or any animal flesh but fish only on that day. The Council of American Bishops dropped the prohibition of eating other animal flesh on Fridays, in the latter 20th century, though during the 40 days of Lent, the prohibition remains.
Many, if not most Catholics have no idea that passage of Scripture exists. Nor are they aware of the next example of warning.
2Thes 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2Thes 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
2Thes 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2Thes 2:4 Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Paul wrote to the church at Thessalonica that they should not be shaken up by any reports that Christ was imminently returning. A "falling away," an "apostasia," is what the Greek word is, where the English word, "apostasy" comes from; would come first. It would reveal "the man of sin." Christ called Judas the son of "perdition." The son of ruin and destruction. The man of sin would ruin and destroy the "faith once delivered unto the saints," Jude 1:3,4.
2Cor 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people."
There is a temple in heaven which the earthly temple was patterned after. There is the temple of the believer, as the Spirit of God dwells within. No other temples are required, warranted, necessary or allowed. The Vatican is a temple of apostasy.
We have seen just some of the statements from the Church of Rome, itself, on the exaltation of popes and its Papacy; "in place of Christ."
"But since We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty,..." Pope Leo XIII, Encyclical, The Reunion of Christendom, 1894.
Once again, just do an image search of the Vatican, St. Peter's Basilica Bernini's Hall, and look at the temple created for popes to say the Mass, to be high and exalted, to rule the earth. That is the final and ultimate goal of Rome. To rule the Earth. That all humanity should be Roman Catholic, for that is the teaching of Rome. JP2 went around the world as an ambassador for Rome, liking everybody, and seeking unity with everybody, loved and admired but, never has the doctrine of relationship to the RCC for salvation been rescinded or removed. It remains. Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Sallus: Outside the Church there is no salvation.
Paul wrote more:
2Thes 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
2Thes 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
2Thes 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2Thes 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2Thes 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2Thes 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
The mystery of iniquity had already begun to be seen in Paul's day. The mystery of godliness is that God became a man, in Christ, 1 Tim. 3:16. The mystery of iniquity is that of a man seeking to become God. That was Lucifer's downfall, "I would be like the Most High," and he continues to work it out through Rome, through the Pontiffs: the chief bridge builders between God and man - Pontifex Maximus. Whether the Caesars or popes, no matter. It is all the same thing, a continuation of an empire of man on behalf of the pagan gods of Olympus or the God of the Bible. It is all a counterfeit path to heaven. Paul could see a policy at work that would lead to a great falling away.
Heresies, apostasy, not Judaism, another whole problem in the church but, pagan ideas, philosophy, opinions that were becoming entrenched in certain places where such philosophers could stand and speak and twist the words of Paul, the writings of the other apostles and the even Gospels and teachings of Christ but, God allowed it to develop, so a demarcation between truth and error could be more easily seen and defended against. The apostle John wrote his Gospel and epistles to specifically address many false teachings that were floating around and gaining ground. Peter and Jude wrote against what was happening among false teachers drawing away disciples after them. It began early and man-made traditions, perversions of truth, well-suited to meet the Gentile masses and more easily convert them to the new faith, became the rule. It caused dramatic divisions and history has it all written down.
Satan has and shall yet use the Papacy to showcase ALL his power, signs and lying wonders he can produce, to deceive the world. Those who do not love the truth will believe the lies: they shall have no shield against them. We have not yet seen the final display of deception planned for the globe, putting the Man of sin on top of a heap of apostasy so big, it reaches heaven and God shall strike it down in total embarrassment and dust when Christ returns. How many popes shall be resurrected to see Christ return in power and glory they claimed for themselves? How many will cry for the rocks and mountains to fall on them and hide from their eyes the face of the Lamb, piercing their souls with truth and terror?
This is not just one church among thousands of others. It is not just choosing liturgical worship over more simple forms. It is not about a man that walks around with a silver crucifix, wearing white all the time. It is about apostasy from truth. There are no thrones, no regalia, no crowns, no miters, no jewels, no gold, no bowing before and kissing rings and feet, no architecture meant to bring heaven to Earth and all the rest of man-made religion's exaltation, in the truth of God's word about Christ and His church, His body. He is the Head of the body and there is no room for "infallible" Vicars. No room for priests, for all believers make a priesthood of Christ and He is High Priest in the heavenly sanctuary. No arch bishops or cardinals or popes. No nuns, for that matter, no convents and monasteries, no stations of the cross, no scapulars, no penance prayers and roseries, no statues, no candles, no borrowing from pagans and redesigning the faith to suit the tastes of perspective converts.
John Henry Newman was one of the founders of the Oxford Movement, otherwise known as the Oxford Apostasy, a movement to return the Anglican Church into the fold of the Roman Catholic Church. He left the Anglican Church in 1845, was ordained a Catholic priest and ascended to the position of Cardinal, made so by Pope Leo XIII, in 1879. He became one of Rome's greatest champions, canonized in 2019. He wrote, in his work, An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine, 1878:
"Confiding then in the power of Christianity to resist the infection of evil, and to transmute the very instruments and appendages of demon-worship to an evangelical use, and feeling also that these usages had originally come from primitive revelations and from the instinct of nature, though they had been corrupted; and that they must invent what they needed, if they did not use what they found; and that they were moreover possessed of the very archetypes, of which paganism attempted the shadows; the rulers of the Church from early times were prepared, should the occasion arise, to adopt, or imitate, or sanction the existing rites and customs of the populace, as well as the philosophy of the educated class.
"There is no reason to suppose that the license here spoken of passed the limits of harmless though rude festivity; for it is observable that the same reason, the need of holydays for the multitude, is assigned by Origen, St. Gregory's master, to explain the establishment of the Lord's Day also,...
"It is not necessary to go into a subject which the diligence of Protestant writers has made familiar to most of us. The use of temples, and these dedicated to particular saints, and ornamented on occasions with branches of trees; incense, lamps, and candles; votive offerings on recovery from illness; holy water; asylums; holydays and seasons, use of calendars, processions, blessings on the fields; sacerdotal vestments, the tonsure, the ring in marriage, turning to the East, images at a later date, perhaps the ecclesiastical chant, and the Kyrie Eleison, are all of pagan origin, and sanctified by their adoption into the Church." quotes from pages 371, 372, 373, 374
Newman was honest. He stated the case. The Roman hierarchy did what they felt necessary to make it easier for pagans to join the faith. Some of the things they did, from the establishment of Sunday, "the Lord's Day," to entire calendars of holy days, and all the rest Newman mentions, were adopted into the Roman Church. Much more could be added, like December 25th and Christmas, and Easter, sunrise services. Where did rabbits, eggs and Ishtar fertility rites, all well know and practiced times of festivity or solemn grief, worm their way into the faith? Just check out the apostasy of ancient Israel described in Ezekiel:
Eze 8:13 He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.
Eze 8:14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
Eze 8:15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
Eze 8:16 And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.
The 40 days of weeping for the death of Tammuz, son of the sun god, turned into the forty days of Lent in the Roman Church. There was no 40 days of weeping before the death of Christ. It was a pagan ritual Rome used to link the well known religion of pagans to the new faith, being corrupted with each passing decade and century, until a complete falling away had taken place, and it considered itself the ONLY true church. Complete blindness and delusion.
The only way you can worship the sun in the East is at sunrise. They turned their back on God's temple and practiced paganism. Sunrise services every Easter are completely pagan in nature. The Bible says Christ rose before sunrise that day. It was dark. He did not emerge from his tomb at day break. The women went to the sepulcher "as it began to dawn," "at the rising of the sun," "very early in the morning," "while it was yet dark," and were told by the angel Christ had already risen. Matt. 28; Mark 16; Luke 24, John 20:1.
The Catholic tradition of sunrise services, bequeathed to ignorant Protestant daughters, has nothing to do with what actually happened on the first day of the week.
Notice the judgment that comes next:
Eze 9:1 He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
Eze 9:2 And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.
Eze 9:3 And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side;
Eze 9:4 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
Eze 9:5 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
Eze 9:6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
Eze 9:7 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
Eze 9:8 And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
Eze 9:9 Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.
Eze 9:10 And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.
Eze 9:11 And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
Because of the great apostasy at that time, the corruptions of the faith, the abject paganism the leaders brought in, the people of God and the City of Jerusalem fell to the Babylonians. It was a horrible, devastating event. God said to the destroying angels to mark those who cried and sighed for those abominations that caused the downfall. They were to be spared. What Ezekiel saw in vision came to pass as the actual destruction of Jerusalem and those living within it. So it is now. The seal, the mark of the living God placed in the foreheads of his people, and a mark of apostasy placed in the foreheads or hands of the rebellious, will set all humanity apart. Obedience to God, obedience to man. Which shall mark each of us off?
As we have seen, the seal of God is the authority of God's seventh-day Sabbath of the fourth commandment of the Ten Commandments, the moral law. The mark of apostasy is the Sunday, the ancient pagan day and bequeathed to Christianity by the Roman empire through the Roman Church, put in place of God's Sabbath, the only commandment He specifically said to "Remember."
When Sunday becomes national and international law, the the apostasy of mankind shall be full, and the mark of the beast goes into effect. A time of trouble shall commence to give humanity one last chance to choose the right side and be converted to truth, to Christ, and be free of man-made religion.
Think it cannot happen?
We now live in a time of "mandates," technological control; a dividing of all humanity based on injections, penalties for resistors, bans, forced compliance, blockades and embargos. It is all leading up to final events and the end of the world and Christ's return in power and glory. Not "reality" TV, not a Hollywood blockbuster, not the newest fantasy series of books or sci-fi novel but, the actual end - of - the - world.
We'll look at Revelation 13:11-18 next.
*****************************
427. America in Bible Prophecy - November 21, 2021
Prophecy is filled with creatures. Symbolism for empires, nations, religion, ideologies, powers and the like. My first exposure to it all, around 13 years old, was opening the family Bible, the Roman Catholic Douay Version, and reading some things in Genesis. Talking snakes. Weird. Of course, it never dawned on me the serpent could have been minding its own business and Lucifer used it like some puppet or ventriloquist's doll to mesmerize Eve.
Then a world-wide flood, plenty of animals associated with that story, "clean" and "unclean." What was that all about? Seemed to me all animals are dirty. Lie on the ground you get dirty.
Then the sacrificial system came up. Lots of animals and blood in there. Then the whole list of creatures you can eat or not eat; more clean and unclean stuff.
Bizarre.
Then I decided to give the Bible another chance and went to the back of the book. Yikes. Dragons, beasts, more animals, and all the rest, and I closed the book and thought Christians are crazy.
There was nobody to explain anything to me. I drew natural conclusions.
Everything is in the Bible for specific reasons and if we allow the Bible to explain itself, those reasons begin to fall into place and make sense. Guided and aided by the Holy Spirit, not only does the Bible make sense, it becomes alive: a living source of education, influence, energy, direction and hope upon the life.
Christ, the Messiah, the Son of God, Son of man, Immanuel - God with us, is called the Lamb of God. He sacrificed Himself for the sins of the entire world. How is that possible? Because He is the Creator. The Creator died for His creation. The depth of such a story is phenomenal. No other story like it existed. Ancient systems could not grasp it. Even the nation God chose to represent Him could not see it. The Messiah's chosen disciples couldn't really grasp it, either. He told them He had many things to tell them but, they could not bear them then. Until Christ rose and met them and explained to them, they were emotionally drained and defeated. Then, it all changed and the twelve and those early disciples were used to literally change the world.
Revelation, The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to Him, and He gave to the angel and the angel gave it to John, is filled with imagery for safeguarding the message. John was a religious, political prisoner on the rocky island of Patmos when he had his visions. If the actual names of nations and powers bearing weight on international events were told him, everything he wrote down would never have made it off the island. It would have been destroyed. God used symbolism found in various aspects of descriptive forms to tell a story. The final story of mankind's existence on Earth, right into a New Earth and eternal existence in paradise. To onlookers, just like me, at 13, it all seemed the ramblings of a mad man. To those down through history who would use principles of Bible interpretation, it became a roadmap and source of strength.
Satan has used various nations, powers, kings, rulers and such to attempt to derail God's plans, century after century. He fails because God knows the end, from the beginning. There is nothing Satan can do to overcome God's plans. It is impossible. You'd think he would just give up but, hatred is a energy that seems endless. There is much hatred in America, today. The love of many grows cold, just as Jesus predicted. It's all over the world but, in the grand scheme of things, the United States of America has had more influence on the modern world than any other nation. No other nation in world history has granted such freedoms and liberty to its citizens. No other nation was able to provide such decent and even wealthy conditions for so many. It is not perfect. Not by a long shot but, the world wants to get here. Why? FREEDOM. LIBERTY.
Is the USA in Bible prophecy? Without question. God has not left the unique nature of this country out of the grand scheme of His plans. Watch how it pulls together.
Another long one. Hang in there.
Revelation 13. The dragon, Lucifer, gives power and authority to a blasphemous entity, which we have seen is the Papacy and the Roman Catholic Church. The deadly wound was given to the Papacy in 1798, exactly as the prophetic time periods played out. All the world wondered after, admired this beast, even though its history was abominable. How could that be?
A second beast is seen and it makes all the difference. Did a nation rise into existence around the time the first beast received its deadly wound and was healed and carried on?
Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.
This beast came up out of the "earth." If all the other beasts are described as coming up out of the seas, and seas, bodies of water represent peoples, nations, languages and great civilization, then earth would logically represent the opposite. This beast arises out of a sparsely populated area of the globe.
Native Americans came across the Bering Straits and scattered across North America. Hundreds of various tribes and nations existed but, the continent was not Europe, nor Asia by any reckoning of population or civilization. Nor was it South America, with the Inka, the Mayans, the Aztecs and other nation/empires that had very sophisticated systems of governance, agriculture, and architecture. In North America, it is shown the Cherokee was the most prominent, with a system of education and agriculture that rivaled those of European nations. Despite the Cherokee, the Comanche, the Apache, Sioux, Iroquois, Navajo and so many others, the North American continent was not a heavily populated spot on the globe compared to other Continents with nations that can match the marks in prophecy for a nation that would arise in the late 1700s.
In 1789 the U.S. Constitution was ratified. Despite any unethical actions of the growing government against Native Americans, history always plays out the same. Nations are overtaken by other nations. Native American nations were overtaken by the new nation of the United States. The fall of the USSR saw the end of national domination in our world. New nations have arisen from conflicts but, none have been overtaken, and no new nation arose at the prophetic time of the second beast, save for Australia, which was basically a British penal colony and did not become a nation until 1901, over a century from the prophetic time period placed before us.
Notice the descriptive qualifications. The beast has two horns, like a lamb but, it ends up speaking like a dragon. Think, what animal looks like a two horned lamb yet grows up to be a dangerous animal. The American Bison certainly fits the description. One minute it just plays like any lamblike creature when young, and grows up to be a ton plus of "don't mess around with me." If you have seen video of what happens to people who get too close to one, you know the animal, though it seems tame and docile, is not. It roamed the American plains by the tens of millions for centuries.
Two horns, symbols of power but, no crowns. This nation of prophecy is not a kingdom. Interesting. The USA had a beginning unlike any other nation in history. Two powers freely existed, to operate in tandem: civil freedom and religious freedom. No state religion. No kingdom of priests or potentates. The United States of America recognized the Sovereignty of God and His granted sovereignty to the individual. It was a radical departure from governments before it.
Yet, though it spoke like a lamb, a nation populated by European Christians seeking freedom from their own British persecuting overlords, and became the source for more Christian evangelism, missionary work, and literature to circle the globe than any ten nations combined, its character changed. It speaks as a dragon, the devil. Lies, deceptions, murder.
I will not get into the politics of American intrusion into the affairs of nations, the corruption and all. We can see enough of it right now, as I type. Constant war, more than any nation in existence. A military industrial complex that controls just about everything. A "deep state," behind-the-scenes power structure; black budgets, thuggery upon American citizens... yeah, it speaks like the devil right now but, notice the rest...
Rev 13:12 And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Rev 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Rev 13:14 And deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
What was the great power of the Roman Catholic Church for ages? The granted power to deal with heretics. The power of persecution. It made war with the saints, the sanctified ones, those who desired to live only by a thus saith the Lord, not a thus saith the pope or king, queen, or any other power of despotism. The Bible states this beast will exercise all the power of the first beast before it. America shall become a persecuting power.
Don't jump to political conclusions, here. Just because Marxist Leftists have no use for God or professed Christians and Christian standards and ethics, and will harass, oppress, and even persecute them, and wish to annihilate them if they could, does not remove the history of professed Christians who would put people in the stocks for not going to church. There is NOTHING more dangerous than religious zealots who desire to make "bad" people "good" and use the power of the state to pull it off. America is going to have a more severe problem with religious persecution than any other nation that has existed. Impossible, you say?
Right now, in the last five years we have seen professed Christians at each other's throats over Donald Trump. Now, we see great divide in churches over Covid and masks and vaccines. It is a convoluted mess out there, in the name of Christ. What can possibly happen to pull anything together? The Left would root out the Right, religion or otherwise, if they could. Patriots by the hundreds sit in jails because they exercised their right as free citizens and protested a corrupt, criminal election just one year ago. America is now a bowl of scrambled eggs the world literally stands back and gasps at. A mentally impaired old man is in the seat of power. Radical Leftists are working to make Chinese Communism the reigning influence and power within our borders. We stopped a 20 year war and left thousands of Americans and allies behind, as well as billions of dollars worth of military equipment our enemies now have to use in any way they please. The insanity of the nation is one of mass confusion. Remember that. Confusion.
America began with the very principles of Protestantism to guide it and propel it to staggering dimensions the whole world stood startled at. American industry, "American Ingenuity" was a force to be reckoned with. Rome saw America as the biggest field to conquer in its 1500 year history. Far more than the Roman empire, the American empire became the focus to gain control of. Do a search on "make America Catholic" and watch what you get. America has been in the crosshairs of Rome for a century and half.
Just ask yourself how the Supreme Court of the United States can have six of nine justices on it. How Congress can have a 30% share of Catholics, a professed Catholic Speaker of the House and President? If you know anything about the history of America, you know the Founders held to typical Protestant ethics and distain of Romanism. Though one of the Founders was, indeed, a Roman Catholic, with popes making derogatory statements about the American governments position of religious and civil freedoms, Rome was seen as an institution to guard against. Where did that position go? How did it fade so?
In a previous post, I mentioned Alonzo T. Jones, a Seventh-day Adventist preacher and author who spoke before Congress when the "Blair Bill" was posed to turn Sunday into a nationally legislated day of rest, in 1889. Jones was an editor of The Protestant Magazine, an Adventist journal at the turn of the 20th century. He wrote dozens of books, tracts, papers and such and one is titled, "The American Papacy." Some quotes from that work.
"SINCE the year 1856, a book entitled “Our Country” has been largely circulated, and it has excited a great deal of attention throughout the United States. The book was written for the American Home Missionary Society, its object being to present “facts and arguments showing the imperative need of home missionary work for the evangelization of the land.” In a startling as well as splendid array of facts, it presents the growth, the size, the resources, and the perils of our country.
"Among the perils to our country, the author rightly places Romanism, and by many excellent quotations proves that it is indeed a peril. We quote a passage or two:—
“There are many who are disposed to attribute any fear of Roman Catholicism in the United States to bigotry or childishness. Such see nothing in the character and attitude of Romanism that is hostile to our free institutions, or find nothing portentous in its growth. Let us, then, first compare some of the fundamental principles of our Government with those of the Catholic Church.
“The Constitution of the United States guarantees liberty of conscience. Nothing is clearer or more fundamental. Pope Pius IX., in his Encyclical Letter of August 15, 1854, said: ‘The absurd and erroneous doctrines or ravings in defense of liberty of conscience, are a pestilential error—a pest, of all others, most to be dreaded in a State.’ The same pope, in his Encyclical Letter of December 8, 1864, anathematizes ‘those who assert the liberty of conscience and of religious worship,’ also ‘all such as maintain that the church may not employ force.’”
“The pacific tone of Rome in the United States does not imply a change of heart. She is tolerant where she is helpless. Says Bishop O’Connor: ‘Religious liberty is merely endured until the opposite can he carried into effect without peril to the Catholic world.’ ...The Archbishop of St. Louis once said: ‘Heresy and unbelief are crimes; and in Christian countries, as in Italy and Spain, for instance, where all the people are Catholics, and where the Catholic religion is an essential part of the law of the land, they are punished as other crimes.” ...
“Every cardinal, archbishop, and bishop in the Catholic Church takes an oath of allegiance to the Pope, in which occur the following words: Heretics, schismatics, and rebels to our said Lord (the pope), or his aforesaid successors, I will to my utmost persecute and oppose.’”
“Cardinal Manning advises Romanists throughout the world to enter politics as Romanists, and to do this especially in England and the United States. In our large cities the priests are already in politics, and to some purpose.... We are told that the native Catholics of Arizona and New Mexico are not energetic as the Protestants who are pushing into these Territories. True, but they are energetic enough to be enough to be counted. The most wretched members of society count as much at the polls as the best, and too often much more.”
"All this and much more is true of Romanism. And although there is just cause for fear that the principles of Romanism will let be legalized by the laws of this nation, we are certain that it will never accomplish this of itself nor in its own name. We are perfectly assured that if ever Romanism gains such power in this Government, it will be through the mediumship and by the instrumentalities of the National Reform party; for, as crafty, as crud, as bitterly opposed to our free institutions as Rome is, as this book shows she is, and as men know that she is, yet the National Reformers are willing and even anxious to join hands with her, and enlist her in the promotion of their scheme of so-called reform."
The National Reform Movement existed to make Sunday the legislated day of rest in America.
Other authors began writing on the dangers of encroaching Catholicism in America. Major American cities began seeing more and more Catholic mayors, along with upheavals that led right into the Civil War, as the pope sided with Jefferson Davis and the South. Lincoln is recorded in Charles Chinoquy's "Fifty Years in the Church of Rome," a biographical sketch of a Catholic priest from Canada, who became a Protestant minister. He knew Lincoln because he defended him in a St. Louis court case, and saw him acquitted. He wrote how his conversations with Lincoln saw the President concerned about Catholic influence behind riots in the North East, and feared if the people knew what he knew, everything would turn into a religious war. The tribunal established to hunt down and prosecute the plot to assassinate Lincoln, found all the players to be Roman Catholics. Did you know that? General Harris, who presided over the military tribunal wrote two books on the subject. He delineated the conspirators in no soft way and exposed them all and their Catholic influence. Not exactly the stuff we learned in American History classes.
The Vatican, the Roman Catholic Church, is the epitome of a union between church and state. America set up the exact opposite: a wall of separation between church and state. God is recognized as a vital part of the fabric of the American populace and its affairs but, the Civil power is not to establish or stand in the way of the religious freedom of conscience, guaranteed to people of faith, any faith. 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.'
The history of America is one of tension between the two great influences that propelled it to prominence but, they exist to the benefit of all mankind, at least as a principle. As John Adams stated, the Constitution can only work with a religious people. It is inadequate to govern any other. Basic principles of honesty and integrity must exist for the United States of America to function correctly. As those principles fade, so fades freedom and liberty.
What does the prophecy state?
Rev 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Rev 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Fire, in Scripture, is representative of the presence of God. All through the Bible, from the consecration of the temple, to the upper room, fire represents the presence of power of God. "Our God is a consuming fire."
A movement shall arise, out of the dragon-like quagmire, to simulate religious revival. Not just religious revival but, a revival that brings down fire, the claimed presence and power of God with it. "Miracles" will attend this movement, this revival, of such great wonder it shall captivate the entire nation, and the entire world. Satan shall work through this false revival to bring about a monstrous force of influence upon the whole planet and as the "revival" spreads, America, the once Protestant principled and guided nation, will repudiate it all and make an image to the first beast, the Roman Catholic Church.
We have all seen various Pontiffs come to America and be given grand gestures of admiration at tax payer's expense. No such thing would ever have been seen in America before the first half of the 20th century. But things are different now. Catholics have fought bravely in two world wars. Hollywood and its series of movies with priests and nuns, not then least of which, The Sound of Music, captivated American Protestant audiences. John F. Kennedy, for all the upheaval of a Catholic becoming President, proved to be one of the most popular in American history and many believe his assassination began the downturn of the American spirit.
All the world admires the beast that had the deadly wound and was healed. America shall be the final ointment of healing of that wound and shall make an image, the spitting image of the Papacy and become a persecuting power and stand against anyone or anything that goes against the "miracle working revival" taking the country and the world by storm.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establish of religion. What establishment of religion could the American government grant the Roman Catholic Church?
Rev 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
The Papacy shall rally behind the American revival and influence it to just carry on as she always had century after century. Kill those who dissent from religious rule. Anyone who speaks out against this constitutional cataclysm of union between church and state shall be persecuted unto death.
Before a death decree is established, the rule of embargo shall be established, and those who refuse to unite in the revival shall not be allowed to buy or sell. Coercion of any and all types shall be used to bring all Americans on board with this "revival." The mark of Catholic influence and authority shall be established by law in America, and in the world - Sunday. As I established already, Rome has claimed, century after century, her change of the seventh-day Sabbath to Sunday is the mark of her power and authority. Protestants have no grounds for keeping Sunday, if they claim to go by the Bible alone, for doctrine and practice. Sunday IS NOT in the Bible. The first day of the week is never made any kind of special day for weekly convocation. Sunday is a tradition of apostasy developed over time by the Roman Catholic Church and never in human history has there been a century when Sabbath keepers have not existed, even in the early centuries before the Reformation and during it. Did you know that? Many Anabaptist groups were Sabbath keepers. The Seventh-day Baptists existed a couple centuries before Seventh-day Adventists and other Sabbath keeping groups around the world today. They were persecuted for challenging the Reformers for following in the steps of Rome and not truly departing from their adherence to "Mother."
As I already showed, Sunday was almost made a national law in the 1880s. The National Sunday Movement, The Lord's Day Alliance, and other such groups exist to promote and see Sunday established by law in America. The Roman Catholic Church and its popes constantly promote the policy that Sunday should be shut down from labor and unnecessary activity, for the good of society. Pat Robertson, when he ran for president, had written a book, The Ten Offenses, addressing America's need to return to keeping the Commandments.
"History shows that those who founded the United States consciously intended America to be a Christian nation, guided above all else by the truths of the Bible," says veteran broadcaster and best-selling author Pat Roberston. In The Ten Offenses, Robertson calls Americans to reclaim their spiritual roots—to reaffirm the central role of God’s fundamental laws—before it is too late. Following are Robertson's thoughts on each of the Commandments."
He is decidedly WRONG. Those who founded the USA understood the blessings people achieve when they have faith but, NEVER did they promote the notion America become a Christian nation. The proof of that exists in the fact the name Jesus Christ does not occupy space on any document of Founding authority produced by the Founders, themselves. Thrust from some existed but, were always voted down.
What did Robertson comment about the Fourth Commandment:
"Commandment Four: Observe a Sabbath Rest
Remember to observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. –Exodus 20:8 (NLT)
What day is the Sabbath day? The seventh day of the week, and yet Robertson lifts off and promotes another day in its place, while not even quoting the entire commandment, and featuring the Roman Catholic abridged version of it, the third commandment of their law.
"Most Americans seem to have the attitude that Sunday is the one day out of seven we get to do exactly what we want without anyone else placing demands on our time. Most of us—those who don’t have to work weekends, at any rate—would likely say, “Sunday is my day.” To that, God would say, “Yes, and no.”
"According to the God of the Bible, Sunday belongs to Him. First and foremost, when God set aside one day of the week for the Sabbath, He intended for us to take time out from all our other mental and physical activities to focus our body, mind and soul on Him.
"The God who made us knows what will benefit us and what will harm us. Yet in our mad pursuit of money and success, Americans have come to believe that God does not know what He is talking about. We think that His laws stand in the way of our achieving what we believe is the materialistic “American dream.” The Fourth Commandment is an offense to commerce, entertainment, and sports."
https://www.crosswalk.com/faith/spiritual-life/reclaim-the-blessing-of-the-ten-commandments-1255450.html
The fourth commandment mentions nothing of Sunday. Sunday was and is still a pagan day of worshiping the sun god, in whatever form they believed or believe in it today. The fact that Christ rested on the Sabbath, and rose the first day of the week to continue his ministry shows, even by his own practice in death, the Sabbath commandment remains binding. Sunday is just the first day of the week, that's it. A normal work day. God's command to remember the Sabbath is to remember He is the Creator of the universe and He has the authority tell His creation how to live, what to do and not to do. The Sabbath is a weekly reminder of that fact. Creation is God's testimony to His authority. And we should wonder why Satan has used Darwinian thought to ransack God's place as Creator and Lord?
The Catholic Church says, No. The day of rest is now Sunday, because Christ rose that day. I know what day He rose. What day did He rest? The seventh day of the week, the Sabbath that He established at Creation.
Think of our world right now. Upheaval everywhere, and I mean everywhere. Global tension beyond known history, threats of nuclear war and human annihilation, not to mention the current medical insanity of what these "vaccines" contain and potentially can do to the population of Earth.
The world stands at the brink. What next? According to prophecy, a false revival of miracle working power, attended by an angel of light arresting the attention of the entire globe. Shouts of "peace and safety" arise. Sunday shall be established by law, in America, then throughout the world, then becoming the mark of the beast, received IN the forehead, the frontal lobes, the seat of reason - by choice, or in the hand, that which makes deals and works - by decision, to go along to get along.
Common sense and logic might state such a situation in a world filled with Muslims and other faiths, that persecute Christians, is ridiculous. Never happen. What do you think happens when a pope, whoever it is when the events hit, walks into a hospital and cleans it out? What do you think happens when a pope clasps hands with major professed, but apostate Protestant clergy, and and people are healed in every direction? What will happen when a pope seems to heal the sick children of Islam and Hindi and Buddhism? And the world is beholding an "angel of light" that endorses all the pope is doing? Can we even imagine a world under such deceptive influence? Unity! Peace! All is good! Come aboard! Don't forget, Satan works through the Man of sin with all power, signs and lying wonders and the world will be captured in the delusion.
A final call will go out from God's remnant people to, "Come out of her, MY people, that you be not partakers of her sins or receive of her plagues." Millions abide in confusion right now. Tens of millions, hundreds of millions of sincere people looking, searching, needing truth in a world saturated with lies and corruption. They shall hear it and everything will click and fall into place and they shall take their stand. All humanity shall reach the close of human probation, all cases decided, all people among sheep or goats. The world will be enraged at the arrogance of anyone, any group that would stand up and condemn so great a revival bringing peace and harmony to the globe. Calling the angel of light the Devil?!? Away with such fools.
And when the seven last plagues begin to fall on a rebellious world, the Lord's people will be blamed, and the death decree established.
Babylon, the final triad of man's powers on Earth and the final showdown between Lucifer and Christ is coming. America shall be in the thick of it.
When? I cannot say. No one can. We can only watch the signs of the times and events as they happen and put the pieces together as they are made available. Close? Yes, of course, close. How close? Things could change in a day, a week, a month, a year, a decade, a generation to put the final pieces together. No one knows. The fact is, it is not hinging on the Devil. It is hinging on a people getting ready. Until that remnant is ready to go, time drags on.
The most important thing is not knowing the day or the hour but, knowing Christ as Lord and Saviour, being sanctified by His recreative power and becoming Christlike in character. THAT is the most important thing. Christ is coming for a clean church, not a dirty one. No spots, no wrinkles. That means washing and ironing. That means heat. That means persecution. Persecution is coming. Yes, it exists at the hands of radical, militant Islamists and others towards Christians today but, nothing compared to what is coming.
Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
"Here is the patience of the saints. Here are they which keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus."
Christ's faith is what believers need. His faith, His strength, His focus. That is what shall keep them in the time of trouble that is coming, such as never existed or ever shall again.
America. The nation most blessed in history shall be the nation, disregarding those blessings and the truth of God, shall become the nation that starts the final ball rolling into destruction. That is not that strange, is it? After centuries of blessing and guidance from their LORD, the Hebrews lost ten tribes to apostasy, and the last two saw it's leaders and people cry out for their Messiah to be crucified. They still reject Him today.
"Come, let us reason together, thus saith the Lord."
When people refuse to obey God, they begin to lose the ability to reason. Lose the ability to reason and humans become little more than animals, open to any suggestions for survival. A death decree will make perfect sense to the world, launched into the plagues. Did Pharaoh back off in the first ten plagues? No. He went headlong into destruction in the sea, pursuing the Hebrews he blamed for his own choices and faults.
At the end of time, two classes. Those who reflect the character of Christ and those who reflect the character of Satan. The one has always blamed the other down through time. It's never the rebel's fault. It's always someone else' fault. There is nothing new under the sun. But, Christ shall burst through the corridors of time and space and save His people in that darkest hour, with hundreds of millions, billions, maybe trillions of angels in the greatest rescue of all time. The planet will shake and crack and be destroyed by the power and glory of His return.
No pen can truly describe it. No painting can capture it. No sermon can make it as powerful and alive as it shall be.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
Then a world-wide flood, plenty of animals associated with that story, "clean" and "unclean." What was that all about? Seemed to me all animals are dirty. Lie on the ground you get dirty.
Then the sacrificial system came up. Lots of animals and blood in there. Then the whole list of creatures you can eat or not eat; more clean and unclean stuff.
Bizarre.
Then I decided to give the Bible another chance and went to the back of the book. Yikes. Dragons, beasts, more animals, and all the rest, and I closed the book and thought Christians are crazy.
There was nobody to explain anything to me. I drew natural conclusions.
Everything is in the Bible for specific reasons and if we allow the Bible to explain itself, those reasons begin to fall into place and make sense. Guided and aided by the Holy Spirit, not only does the Bible make sense, it becomes alive: a living source of education, influence, energy, direction and hope upon the life.
Christ, the Messiah, the Son of God, Son of man, Immanuel - God with us, is called the Lamb of God. He sacrificed Himself for the sins of the entire world. How is that possible? Because He is the Creator. The Creator died for His creation. The depth of such a story is phenomenal. No other story like it existed. Ancient systems could not grasp it. Even the nation God chose to represent Him could not see it. The Messiah's chosen disciples couldn't really grasp it, either. He told them He had many things to tell them but, they could not bear them then. Until Christ rose and met them and explained to them, they were emotionally drained and defeated. Then, it all changed and the twelve and those early disciples were used to literally change the world.
Revelation, The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to Him, and He gave to the angel and the angel gave it to John, is filled with imagery for safeguarding the message. John was a religious, political prisoner on the rocky island of Patmos when he had his visions. If the actual names of nations and powers bearing weight on international events were told him, everything he wrote down would never have made it off the island. It would have been destroyed. God used symbolism found in various aspects of descriptive forms to tell a story. The final story of mankind's existence on Earth, right into a New Earth and eternal existence in paradise. To onlookers, just like me, at 13, it all seemed the ramblings of a mad man. To those down through history who would use principles of Bible interpretation, it became a roadmap and source of strength.
Satan has used various nations, powers, kings, rulers and such to attempt to derail God's plans, century after century. He fails because God knows the end, from the beginning. There is nothing Satan can do to overcome God's plans. It is impossible. You'd think he would just give up but, hatred is a energy that seems endless. There is much hatred in America, today. The love of many grows cold, just as Jesus predicted. It's all over the world but, in the grand scheme of things, the United States of America has had more influence on the modern world than any other nation. No other nation in world history has granted such freedoms and liberty to its citizens. No other nation was able to provide such decent and even wealthy conditions for so many. It is not perfect. Not by a long shot but, the world wants to get here. Why? FREEDOM. LIBERTY.
Is the USA in Bible prophecy? Without question. God has not left the unique nature of this country out of the grand scheme of His plans. Watch how it pulls together.
Another long one. Hang in there.
Revelation 13. The dragon, Lucifer, gives power and authority to a blasphemous entity, which we have seen is the Papacy and the Roman Catholic Church. The deadly wound was given to the Papacy in 1798, exactly as the prophetic time periods played out. All the world wondered after, admired this beast, even though its history was abominable. How could that be?
A second beast is seen and it makes all the difference. Did a nation rise into existence around the time the first beast received its deadly wound and was healed and carried on?
Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.
This beast came up out of the "earth." If all the other beasts are described as coming up out of the seas, and seas, bodies of water represent peoples, nations, languages and great civilization, then earth would logically represent the opposite. This beast arises out of a sparsely populated area of the globe.
Native Americans came across the Bering Straits and scattered across North America. Hundreds of various tribes and nations existed but, the continent was not Europe, nor Asia by any reckoning of population or civilization. Nor was it South America, with the Inka, the Mayans, the Aztecs and other nation/empires that had very sophisticated systems of governance, agriculture, and architecture. In North America, it is shown the Cherokee was the most prominent, with a system of education and agriculture that rivaled those of European nations. Despite the Cherokee, the Comanche, the Apache, Sioux, Iroquois, Navajo and so many others, the North American continent was not a heavily populated spot on the globe compared to other Continents with nations that can match the marks in prophecy for a nation that would arise in the late 1700s.
In 1789 the U.S. Constitution was ratified. Despite any unethical actions of the growing government against Native Americans, history always plays out the same. Nations are overtaken by other nations. Native American nations were overtaken by the new nation of the United States. The fall of the USSR saw the end of national domination in our world. New nations have arisen from conflicts but, none have been overtaken, and no new nation arose at the prophetic time of the second beast, save for Australia, which was basically a British penal colony and did not become a nation until 1901, over a century from the prophetic time period placed before us.
Notice the descriptive qualifications. The beast has two horns, like a lamb but, it ends up speaking like a dragon. Think, what animal looks like a two horned lamb yet grows up to be a dangerous animal. The American Bison certainly fits the description. One minute it just plays like any lamblike creature when young, and grows up to be a ton plus of "don't mess around with me." If you have seen video of what happens to people who get too close to one, you know the animal, though it seems tame and docile, is not. It roamed the American plains by the tens of millions for centuries.
Two horns, symbols of power but, no crowns. This nation of prophecy is not a kingdom. Interesting. The USA had a beginning unlike any other nation in history. Two powers freely existed, to operate in tandem: civil freedom and religious freedom. No state religion. No kingdom of priests or potentates. The United States of America recognized the Sovereignty of God and His granted sovereignty to the individual. It was a radical departure from governments before it.
Yet, though it spoke like a lamb, a nation populated by European Christians seeking freedom from their own British persecuting overlords, and became the source for more Christian evangelism, missionary work, and literature to circle the globe than any ten nations combined, its character changed. It speaks as a dragon, the devil. Lies, deceptions, murder.
I will not get into the politics of American intrusion into the affairs of nations, the corruption and all. We can see enough of it right now, as I type. Constant war, more than any nation in existence. A military industrial complex that controls just about everything. A "deep state," behind-the-scenes power structure; black budgets, thuggery upon American citizens... yeah, it speaks like the devil right now but, notice the rest...
Rev 13:12 And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Rev 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Rev 13:14 And deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
What was the great power of the Roman Catholic Church for ages? The granted power to deal with heretics. The power of persecution. It made war with the saints, the sanctified ones, those who desired to live only by a thus saith the Lord, not a thus saith the pope or king, queen, or any other power of despotism. The Bible states this beast will exercise all the power of the first beast before it. America shall become a persecuting power.
Don't jump to political conclusions, here. Just because Marxist Leftists have no use for God or professed Christians and Christian standards and ethics, and will harass, oppress, and even persecute them, and wish to annihilate them if they could, does not remove the history of professed Christians who would put people in the stocks for not going to church. There is NOTHING more dangerous than religious zealots who desire to make "bad" people "good" and use the power of the state to pull it off. America is going to have a more severe problem with religious persecution than any other nation that has existed. Impossible, you say?
Right now, in the last five years we have seen professed Christians at each other's throats over Donald Trump. Now, we see great divide in churches over Covid and masks and vaccines. It is a convoluted mess out there, in the name of Christ. What can possibly happen to pull anything together? The Left would root out the Right, religion or otherwise, if they could. Patriots by the hundreds sit in jails because they exercised their right as free citizens and protested a corrupt, criminal election just one year ago. America is now a bowl of scrambled eggs the world literally stands back and gasps at. A mentally impaired old man is in the seat of power. Radical Leftists are working to make Chinese Communism the reigning influence and power within our borders. We stopped a 20 year war and left thousands of Americans and allies behind, as well as billions of dollars worth of military equipment our enemies now have to use in any way they please. The insanity of the nation is one of mass confusion. Remember that. Confusion.
America began with the very principles of Protestantism to guide it and propel it to staggering dimensions the whole world stood startled at. American industry, "American Ingenuity" was a force to be reckoned with. Rome saw America as the biggest field to conquer in its 1500 year history. Far more than the Roman empire, the American empire became the focus to gain control of. Do a search on "make America Catholic" and watch what you get. America has been in the crosshairs of Rome for a century and half.
Just ask yourself how the Supreme Court of the United States can have six of nine justices on it. How Congress can have a 30% share of Catholics, a professed Catholic Speaker of the House and President? If you know anything about the history of America, you know the Founders held to typical Protestant ethics and distain of Romanism. Though one of the Founders was, indeed, a Roman Catholic, with popes making derogatory statements about the American governments position of religious and civil freedoms, Rome was seen as an institution to guard against. Where did that position go? How did it fade so?
In a previous post, I mentioned Alonzo T. Jones, a Seventh-day Adventist preacher and author who spoke before Congress when the "Blair Bill" was posed to turn Sunday into a nationally legislated day of rest, in 1889. Jones was an editor of The Protestant Magazine, an Adventist journal at the turn of the 20th century. He wrote dozens of books, tracts, papers and such and one is titled, "The American Papacy." Some quotes from that work.
"SINCE the year 1856, a book entitled “Our Country” has been largely circulated, and it has excited a great deal of attention throughout the United States. The book was written for the American Home Missionary Society, its object being to present “facts and arguments showing the imperative need of home missionary work for the evangelization of the land.” In a startling as well as splendid array of facts, it presents the growth, the size, the resources, and the perils of our country.
"Among the perils to our country, the author rightly places Romanism, and by many excellent quotations proves that it is indeed a peril. We quote a passage or two:—
“There are many who are disposed to attribute any fear of Roman Catholicism in the United States to bigotry or childishness. Such see nothing in the character and attitude of Romanism that is hostile to our free institutions, or find nothing portentous in its growth. Let us, then, first compare some of the fundamental principles of our Government with those of the Catholic Church.
“The Constitution of the United States guarantees liberty of conscience. Nothing is clearer or more fundamental. Pope Pius IX., in his Encyclical Letter of August 15, 1854, said: ‘The absurd and erroneous doctrines or ravings in defense of liberty of conscience, are a pestilential error—a pest, of all others, most to be dreaded in a State.’ The same pope, in his Encyclical Letter of December 8, 1864, anathematizes ‘those who assert the liberty of conscience and of religious worship,’ also ‘all such as maintain that the church may not employ force.’”
“The pacific tone of Rome in the United States does not imply a change of heart. She is tolerant where she is helpless. Says Bishop O’Connor: ‘Religious liberty is merely endured until the opposite can he carried into effect without peril to the Catholic world.’ ...The Archbishop of St. Louis once said: ‘Heresy and unbelief are crimes; and in Christian countries, as in Italy and Spain, for instance, where all the people are Catholics, and where the Catholic religion is an essential part of the law of the land, they are punished as other crimes.” ...
“Every cardinal, archbishop, and bishop in the Catholic Church takes an oath of allegiance to the Pope, in which occur the following words: Heretics, schismatics, and rebels to our said Lord (the pope), or his aforesaid successors, I will to my utmost persecute and oppose.’”
“Cardinal Manning advises Romanists throughout the world to enter politics as Romanists, and to do this especially in England and the United States. In our large cities the priests are already in politics, and to some purpose.... We are told that the native Catholics of Arizona and New Mexico are not energetic as the Protestants who are pushing into these Territories. True, but they are energetic enough to be enough to be counted. The most wretched members of society count as much at the polls as the best, and too often much more.”
"All this and much more is true of Romanism. And although there is just cause for fear that the principles of Romanism will let be legalized by the laws of this nation, we are certain that it will never accomplish this of itself nor in its own name. We are perfectly assured that if ever Romanism gains such power in this Government, it will be through the mediumship and by the instrumentalities of the National Reform party; for, as crafty, as crud, as bitterly opposed to our free institutions as Rome is, as this book shows she is, and as men know that she is, yet the National Reformers are willing and even anxious to join hands with her, and enlist her in the promotion of their scheme of so-called reform."
The National Reform Movement existed to make Sunday the legislated day of rest in America.
Other authors began writing on the dangers of encroaching Catholicism in America. Major American cities began seeing more and more Catholic mayors, along with upheavals that led right into the Civil War, as the pope sided with Jefferson Davis and the South. Lincoln is recorded in Charles Chinoquy's "Fifty Years in the Church of Rome," a biographical sketch of a Catholic priest from Canada, who became a Protestant minister. He knew Lincoln because he defended him in a St. Louis court case, and saw him acquitted. He wrote how his conversations with Lincoln saw the President concerned about Catholic influence behind riots in the North East, and feared if the people knew what he knew, everything would turn into a religious war. The tribunal established to hunt down and prosecute the plot to assassinate Lincoln, found all the players to be Roman Catholics. Did you know that? General Harris, who presided over the military tribunal wrote two books on the subject. He delineated the conspirators in no soft way and exposed them all and their Catholic influence. Not exactly the stuff we learned in American History classes.
The Vatican, the Roman Catholic Church, is the epitome of a union between church and state. America set up the exact opposite: a wall of separation between church and state. God is recognized as a vital part of the fabric of the American populace and its affairs but, the Civil power is not to establish or stand in the way of the religious freedom of conscience, guaranteed to people of faith, any faith. 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.'
The history of America is one of tension between the two great influences that propelled it to prominence but, they exist to the benefit of all mankind, at least as a principle. As John Adams stated, the Constitution can only work with a religious people. It is inadequate to govern any other. Basic principles of honesty and integrity must exist for the United States of America to function correctly. As those principles fade, so fades freedom and liberty.
What does the prophecy state?
Rev 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Rev 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Fire, in Scripture, is representative of the presence of God. All through the Bible, from the consecration of the temple, to the upper room, fire represents the presence of power of God. "Our God is a consuming fire."
A movement shall arise, out of the dragon-like quagmire, to simulate religious revival. Not just religious revival but, a revival that brings down fire, the claimed presence and power of God with it. "Miracles" will attend this movement, this revival, of such great wonder it shall captivate the entire nation, and the entire world. Satan shall work through this false revival to bring about a monstrous force of influence upon the whole planet and as the "revival" spreads, America, the once Protestant principled and guided nation, will repudiate it all and make an image to the first beast, the Roman Catholic Church.
We have all seen various Pontiffs come to America and be given grand gestures of admiration at tax payer's expense. No such thing would ever have been seen in America before the first half of the 20th century. But things are different now. Catholics have fought bravely in two world wars. Hollywood and its series of movies with priests and nuns, not then least of which, The Sound of Music, captivated American Protestant audiences. John F. Kennedy, for all the upheaval of a Catholic becoming President, proved to be one of the most popular in American history and many believe his assassination began the downturn of the American spirit.
All the world admires the beast that had the deadly wound and was healed. America shall be the final ointment of healing of that wound and shall make an image, the spitting image of the Papacy and become a persecuting power and stand against anyone or anything that goes against the "miracle working revival" taking the country and the world by storm.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establish of religion. What establishment of religion could the American government grant the Roman Catholic Church?
Rev 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
The Papacy shall rally behind the American revival and influence it to just carry on as she always had century after century. Kill those who dissent from religious rule. Anyone who speaks out against this constitutional cataclysm of union between church and state shall be persecuted unto death.
Before a death decree is established, the rule of embargo shall be established, and those who refuse to unite in the revival shall not be allowed to buy or sell. Coercion of any and all types shall be used to bring all Americans on board with this "revival." The mark of Catholic influence and authority shall be established by law in America, and in the world - Sunday. As I established already, Rome has claimed, century after century, her change of the seventh-day Sabbath to Sunday is the mark of her power and authority. Protestants have no grounds for keeping Sunday, if they claim to go by the Bible alone, for doctrine and practice. Sunday IS NOT in the Bible. The first day of the week is never made any kind of special day for weekly convocation. Sunday is a tradition of apostasy developed over time by the Roman Catholic Church and never in human history has there been a century when Sabbath keepers have not existed, even in the early centuries before the Reformation and during it. Did you know that? Many Anabaptist groups were Sabbath keepers. The Seventh-day Baptists existed a couple centuries before Seventh-day Adventists and other Sabbath keeping groups around the world today. They were persecuted for challenging the Reformers for following in the steps of Rome and not truly departing from their adherence to "Mother."
As I already showed, Sunday was almost made a national law in the 1880s. The National Sunday Movement, The Lord's Day Alliance, and other such groups exist to promote and see Sunday established by law in America. The Roman Catholic Church and its popes constantly promote the policy that Sunday should be shut down from labor and unnecessary activity, for the good of society. Pat Robertson, when he ran for president, had written a book, The Ten Offenses, addressing America's need to return to keeping the Commandments.
"History shows that those who founded the United States consciously intended America to be a Christian nation, guided above all else by the truths of the Bible," says veteran broadcaster and best-selling author Pat Roberston. In The Ten Offenses, Robertson calls Americans to reclaim their spiritual roots—to reaffirm the central role of God’s fundamental laws—before it is too late. Following are Robertson's thoughts on each of the Commandments."
He is decidedly WRONG. Those who founded the USA understood the blessings people achieve when they have faith but, NEVER did they promote the notion America become a Christian nation. The proof of that exists in the fact the name Jesus Christ does not occupy space on any document of Founding authority produced by the Founders, themselves. Thrust from some existed but, were always voted down.
What did Robertson comment about the Fourth Commandment:
"Commandment Four: Observe a Sabbath Rest
Remember to observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. –Exodus 20:8 (NLT)
What day is the Sabbath day? The seventh day of the week, and yet Robertson lifts off and promotes another day in its place, while not even quoting the entire commandment, and featuring the Roman Catholic abridged version of it, the third commandment of their law.
"Most Americans seem to have the attitude that Sunday is the one day out of seven we get to do exactly what we want without anyone else placing demands on our time. Most of us—those who don’t have to work weekends, at any rate—would likely say, “Sunday is my day.” To that, God would say, “Yes, and no.”
"According to the God of the Bible, Sunday belongs to Him. First and foremost, when God set aside one day of the week for the Sabbath, He intended for us to take time out from all our other mental and physical activities to focus our body, mind and soul on Him.
"The God who made us knows what will benefit us and what will harm us. Yet in our mad pursuit of money and success, Americans have come to believe that God does not know what He is talking about. We think that His laws stand in the way of our achieving what we believe is the materialistic “American dream.” The Fourth Commandment is an offense to commerce, entertainment, and sports."
https://www.crosswalk.com/faith/spiritual-life/reclaim-the-blessing-of-the-ten-commandments-1255450.html
The fourth commandment mentions nothing of Sunday. Sunday was and is still a pagan day of worshiping the sun god, in whatever form they believed or believe in it today. The fact that Christ rested on the Sabbath, and rose the first day of the week to continue his ministry shows, even by his own practice in death, the Sabbath commandment remains binding. Sunday is just the first day of the week, that's it. A normal work day. God's command to remember the Sabbath is to remember He is the Creator of the universe and He has the authority tell His creation how to live, what to do and not to do. The Sabbath is a weekly reminder of that fact. Creation is God's testimony to His authority. And we should wonder why Satan has used Darwinian thought to ransack God's place as Creator and Lord?
The Catholic Church says, No. The day of rest is now Sunday, because Christ rose that day. I know what day He rose. What day did He rest? The seventh day of the week, the Sabbath that He established at Creation.
Think of our world right now. Upheaval everywhere, and I mean everywhere. Global tension beyond known history, threats of nuclear war and human annihilation, not to mention the current medical insanity of what these "vaccines" contain and potentially can do to the population of Earth.
The world stands at the brink. What next? According to prophecy, a false revival of miracle working power, attended by an angel of light arresting the attention of the entire globe. Shouts of "peace and safety" arise. Sunday shall be established by law, in America, then throughout the world, then becoming the mark of the beast, received IN the forehead, the frontal lobes, the seat of reason - by choice, or in the hand, that which makes deals and works - by decision, to go along to get along.
Common sense and logic might state such a situation in a world filled with Muslims and other faiths, that persecute Christians, is ridiculous. Never happen. What do you think happens when a pope, whoever it is when the events hit, walks into a hospital and cleans it out? What do you think happens when a pope clasps hands with major professed, but apostate Protestant clergy, and and people are healed in every direction? What will happen when a pope seems to heal the sick children of Islam and Hindi and Buddhism? And the world is beholding an "angel of light" that endorses all the pope is doing? Can we even imagine a world under such deceptive influence? Unity! Peace! All is good! Come aboard! Don't forget, Satan works through the Man of sin with all power, signs and lying wonders and the world will be captured in the delusion.
A final call will go out from God's remnant people to, "Come out of her, MY people, that you be not partakers of her sins or receive of her plagues." Millions abide in confusion right now. Tens of millions, hundreds of millions of sincere people looking, searching, needing truth in a world saturated with lies and corruption. They shall hear it and everything will click and fall into place and they shall take their stand. All humanity shall reach the close of human probation, all cases decided, all people among sheep or goats. The world will be enraged at the arrogance of anyone, any group that would stand up and condemn so great a revival bringing peace and harmony to the globe. Calling the angel of light the Devil?!? Away with such fools.
And when the seven last plagues begin to fall on a rebellious world, the Lord's people will be blamed, and the death decree established.
Babylon, the final triad of man's powers on Earth and the final showdown between Lucifer and Christ is coming. America shall be in the thick of it.
When? I cannot say. No one can. We can only watch the signs of the times and events as they happen and put the pieces together as they are made available. Close? Yes, of course, close. How close? Things could change in a day, a week, a month, a year, a decade, a generation to put the final pieces together. No one knows. The fact is, it is not hinging on the Devil. It is hinging on a people getting ready. Until that remnant is ready to go, time drags on.
The most important thing is not knowing the day or the hour but, knowing Christ as Lord and Saviour, being sanctified by His recreative power and becoming Christlike in character. THAT is the most important thing. Christ is coming for a clean church, not a dirty one. No spots, no wrinkles. That means washing and ironing. That means heat. That means persecution. Persecution is coming. Yes, it exists at the hands of radical, militant Islamists and others towards Christians today but, nothing compared to what is coming.
Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
"Here is the patience of the saints. Here are they which keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus."
Christ's faith is what believers need. His faith, His strength, His focus. That is what shall keep them in the time of trouble that is coming, such as never existed or ever shall again.
America. The nation most blessed in history shall be the nation, disregarding those blessings and the truth of God, shall become the nation that starts the final ball rolling into destruction. That is not that strange, is it? After centuries of blessing and guidance from their LORD, the Hebrews lost ten tribes to apostasy, and the last two saw it's leaders and people cry out for their Messiah to be crucified. They still reject Him today.
"Come, let us reason together, thus saith the Lord."
When people refuse to obey God, they begin to lose the ability to reason. Lose the ability to reason and humans become little more than animals, open to any suggestions for survival. A death decree will make perfect sense to the world, launched into the plagues. Did Pharaoh back off in the first ten plagues? No. He went headlong into destruction in the sea, pursuing the Hebrews he blamed for his own choices and faults.
At the end of time, two classes. Those who reflect the character of Christ and those who reflect the character of Satan. The one has always blamed the other down through time. It's never the rebel's fault. It's always someone else' fault. There is nothing new under the sun. But, Christ shall burst through the corridors of time and space and save His people in that darkest hour, with hundreds of millions, billions, maybe trillions of angels in the greatest rescue of all time. The planet will shake and crack and be destroyed by the power and glory of His return.
No pen can truly describe it. No painting can capture it. No sermon can make it as powerful and alive as it shall be.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

428. "The American Papacy" - November 21, 2021
In the previous post I noted a tract written by Alonzo T. Jones titled, The American Papacy. I have posted it here, in its entirety with page and paragraph notation.
Jones wrote dozens of books and tracts regarding subjects of world and American history, prophecy, Christian living, Church order and organization, and other subjects. He was a "mule skinner" in the Union army, and upon his conversion to Christianity he became one of the most powerful Protestant voices in America closing out the 19th and opening the 20th century.
Though this 14 page booklet was printed 132 years ago, it's truths, principles and insights are as alive and real today, as they were back then.
*************************
The American Papacy.
SINCE the year 1856, a book entitled "Our Country" has been largely circulated, and it has excited a great deal of attention throughout the United States. The book was written for the American Home Missionary Society, its object being to present "facts and arguments showing the imperative need of home missionary work for the evangelization of the land." In a startling as well as splendid array of facts, it presents the growth, the size, the resources, and the perils of our country. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 3.1}
Among the perils to our country, the author rightly places Romanism, and by many excellent quotations proves that it is indeed a peril. We quote a passage or two:— {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 3.2}
"There are many who are disposed to attribute any fear of Roman Catholicism in the United States to bigotry or childishness. Such see nothing in the character and attitude of Romanism that is hostile to our free institutions, or find nothing portentous in its growth. Let us, then, first compare some of the fundamental principles of our Government with those of the Catholic Church. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 3.3}
"The Constitution of the United States guarantees liberty of conscience. Nothing is clearer or more fundamental. Pope Pius IX., in his Encyclical Letter of August 15, 1854, said: 'The absurd and erroneous doctrines or ravings in defense of liberty of conscience, are a pestilential error—a pest, of all others, most to be dreaded in a State.' The same pope, in his Encyclical Letter of December 8, 1864, anathematizes 'those who assert the liberty of conscience and of religious worship,' also 'all such as maintain that the church may not employ force.'" {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 4.1}
"The pacific tone of Rome in the United States does not imply a change of heart. She is tolerant where she is helpless. Says Bishop O'Connor: 'Religious liberty is merely endured until the opposite can he carried into effect without peril to the Catholic world.' . . . The Archbishop of St. Louis once said: 'Heresy and unbelief are crimes; and in Christian countries, as in Italy and Spain, for instance, where all the people are Catholics, and where the Catholic religion is an essential part of the law of the land, they are punished as other crimes." . . . {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 4.2}
"Every cardinal, archbishop, and bishop in the Catholic Church takes an oath of allegiance to the Pope, in which occur the following words: Heretics, schismatics, and rebels to our said Lord (the pope), or his aforesaid successors, I will to my utmost persecute and oppose.'" {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 4.3}
"Cardinal Manning advises Romanists throughout the world to enter politics as Romanists, and to do this especially in England and the United States. In our large cities the priests are already in politics, and to some purpose. . . . We are told that the native Catholics of Arizona and New Mexico are not energetic as the Protestants who are pushing into these Territories. True, but they are energetic enough to be enough to be counted. The most wretched members of society count as much at the polls as the best, and too often much more." {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 4.4}
All this and much more is true of Romanism. And although there is just cause for fear that the principles of Romanism will let be legalized by the laws of this nation, we are certain that it will never accomplish this of itself nor in its own name. We are perfectly assured that if ever Romanism gains such power in this Government, it will be through the mediumship and by the instrumentalities of the National Reform party; for, as crafty, as crude, as bitterly opposed to our free institutions as Rome is, as this book shows she is, and as men know that she is, yet the National Reformers are willing and even anxious to join hands with her, and enlist her in the promotion of their scheme of so-called reform. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 5.1}
In saying that the National Reformers are willing and even anxious to join hands with Romanism in America, we only state the sober truth, as proved by the following statement from an editorial in the Christian Statesman of December 11, 1884:— {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 5.2}
"Whenever they [the Roman Catholics] are willing to co-operate in resisting the progress of political atheism, we will gladly join hands with them." {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 5.3}
What the Statesman designates as "political atheism," is nothing more nor less than the present form of government and the present Constitution of the United States. To oppose National Reform is to them sheer atheism; and to oppose the kind of government, which they indorse is political atheism. That no religious test shall be required of a civil ruler, is declared by Rev. M. A. Gault to be "the infidel theory of government."—Statesman, December 24, 1885. The theory of government taught in our national Constitution" is declared by Rev. A. M. Milligan to be "the infidel theory."—Speech in the New York Convention. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 5.4}
The Statesman of December 1, 1884, further says:— {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 6.1}
"We cordially, gladly, recognize the fact that in South American republics, and in France and other European countries, the Roman Catholics are the recognized advocates of national Christianity, and stand opposed to all the proposals of secularism. . . . In a world's conference for the promotion of national Christianity, many countries could be represented only by Roman Catholics." {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 6.2}
It is beyond question, therefore, that what the Statesman means is, that whenever the Roman Catholics are willing to co-operate with the National Reformers in the scheme for the establishment of national Christianity in the United States, the National Reformers "will gladly join hands with them." But the Roman Catholics are always ready to co-operate in that thing. That is one of Rome's clearest characteristics. Rome hates our present form of government and our present Constitution as heartily as do the National Reformers. Rome, too, would readily enough brand our present system of government as "political atheism," if the National Reformers had not already done it for her. And every body may rest assured that the National Reformers will have the pleasure of "gladly" joining hands with Rome, just as soon as they shall have gained a position of sufficient importance to make it to the interest of Rome to join hands with them. In fact, this is exactly what Roman Catholics are commanded to do, in his Encyclical Letter published in 1885, Pope Leo XIII. Says:— {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 6.3}
"All Catholics should do all in their power to cause the constitutions of States, and legislation, to be modeled on the principles of the true church, and all Catholic writers journalists should never lose sight, for an instant, from the of the above prescriptions." {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 7.1}
From the foregoing quotations from the Statesman, it is seen, that in European and South American countries the Roman Catholics are the recognized advocates of national Christianity; National Christianity is the object of the National Reform movement; our Constitution and legislation have to be remodeled before this national Christianity can he established; to remodel our Constitution and legislation in the aim of National Reform; but this is exactly what "all Catholics" are by the Pope ex cathedra commanded to do, all and not to lose sight of it for an instant. Therefore, what the National Reformers propose to do with our Constitution and legislation is precisely what the Roman Catholics in this country are commanded by the Pope to do. Therefore the aim of National Reform and the aim of Rome are identical; and why should they not "gladly join hands"? {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 7.2}
But that the National Reformers will gladly join hands with Rome, is not all of the story—not near all. They actually and deliberately propose to make overtures to Rome for co-operation. They actually propose to make advances, and repeated advances, and even to suffer rebuffs, to gain the help of Rome in their Romish scheme of "National Christianity." Proof of this is in the Christian Statesman of August 31, 1881, where Rev. Sylvester F. Scovel, a leading National Reformer, says:— {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 8.1}
"This common interest ["of all religious people in the Sabbath"—Sunday] ought both to strengthen our determination to work, and our readiness to co-operate in every way with our Roman Catholic fellow-citizens. We may be subjected to some rebuffs in our first proffers, and the time is not yet come when the Roman Church will consent to strike hands with other churches—as such; but the time has come to make repeated advances, and gladly to accept co-operation in any form in which they may be willing to exhibit it. It is one of the necessities of the situation." {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 8.2}
Notice, the advances are all on the side of the National Reformers. They are now only willing to make advances, but are willing to be subjected to "rebuffs," and, being rebuffed, to make "repeated advances," to overcome the coquetry and gain the treacherous favor of "the mistress of witchcrafts." And why this willingness? Because "it is one of the necessities of the situation"—and the italics are his. Shades of Wickliffe, and Luther, and Zwingle, and Milton, and Wesley, and of all the martyrs! was there ever in the world a more humiliating, a more contemptible surrender to the papacy? How many of the American people are ready to join in it? But know of a surety that every one who joins in the National Reform movement thereby joins in a scheme for the delivery of this free land into the hand of the Papacy. Just here, please read again the quotations from Dr. Strong's book, at the beginning of this article, and see whether the National Reformers in joining hands with Rome, do not equally with Rome show themselves the enemies of the United States Government, and of American institutions—the enemies of human right and human liberty. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 8.3}
It is true, as Mr. Scovel says, the National Reformers now receive somewhat cool treatment, and perhaps sense rebuffs. The Catholic Church does not to any considerable extent directly aid in the National Reform movement. She is too crafty for that. She knows, as well as they, that "it is one of the necessities of the situation," and she is determined to have the surrender come from them. We personally know a gentleman, who, riding in the railroad not long since, fell into conversation with a Catholic priest, and finally said to him, "What is your church going to do with the Religious Amendment movement? Are you going to help it forward? Are you going to vote for it?" "Oh," said the priest, "we have nothing to do with that. We leave that to the Protestants, we let them do all that. They are coming to us, and we only have to wait." {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 9.1}
And when in December, 1855, the demand for a national Sunday law reached the point at which it was supported by six millions of petitioners, Cardinal Gibbons came out with a letter to Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts, the leader of the Protestant side, heartily endorsing the national Sunday bill, and gladly adding his name to the number of petitioners. And on the strength of the Cardinal's letter, Dr. Crafts and the W. C. T. U. added seven million two hundred thousand Catholics to the six million names already obtained. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 10.1}
Such is the attitude of the Catholic Church at present; and as the National Reformers find themselves more in need of help, and when, by repeated advances, and in spite of repeated "rebuffs," they have come to her and made the proper surrender, she will let her power and influence be felt. Let the Reformers do the work, as they are doing, and bring the matter to the point of being voted upon, then there will be found at the polls every Catholic voter its the United States whom the political priests can rule, casting his ballot for the Religious Amendment, which, in the words of the Pope, will "cause the Constitution of" the United "States, and legislation, to be modeled on the principles of the true Church," and by which, as the Archbishop of St. Louis says, "heresy and unbelief" will become "crimes," and will be "punished as crimes," as in the Christian countries" of Italy and Spain. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 10.2}
It may be of interest to inquire, What was the subject which drew from Mr. Scovel this expression of willingness, it not anxiety, to gain the co-operation of Rome? He was writing of a movement of the Catholic Church in Europe, for the strict observance of Sunday; and it is to compel everybody to keep Sunday that the National Reformers want the Constitutional Amendment, and legislation under it. Now as the Catholics in Europe are earnestly engaged in it, the question occurs to the National Reformers. "Why shall we not join hands with the Catholics in America, so that we can win? True it is, we may be subjected to some rebuffs in our first proffers, for time has not come when the Roman Church will strike hands with other churches—as such; but the time has come for us to make repeated advances and gladly accept co-operation in any form in which they may be willing to exhibit it. It is one of the necessities of the situation. For without the help of Rome, we cannot compel people to keep Sunday. But if we can enlist with us the powerful hand, and the masterly organization, of Rome, our success is assured." That is the sum and substance of this proposition of the National Reformers. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 11.1}
SOLD INTO THE HANDS OF ROME
Then, when the time comes for the enforcement of the laws which they now demand, what is to hinder the
Catholics from assisting in the work, and that, too, is the Catholic way? Every priest in the United States is sworn to root out heresy. And Monsignor Capel, in our cities and at our very doors, defends the "Holy Inquisition." And when, by Constitutional Amendment, the refusal to observe Sunday becomes heresy that can be reached by the law, what then is to hinder the Catholics from acting a prominent part in rooting out the heresy? Certainly when the National Reformers shall have been compelled by the necessity of the situation to call on the Catholics for help to make the laws, it would not be in their power, even were it in their disposition, to repeal the laws independent of the Catholics; so there would then be nothing left but the enforcement of the laws—by Catholics, if by nobody else. This view of the case alone ought to be sufficient to arouse every Protestant and every American to the most uncompromising opposition to the National Reform party. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 11.2}
It is of no use for the National Reformers to say that they will not allow the Catholics to do these things. For when the National Reformers, to gain the ends which they have in view, are compelled by "the necessities of the situation" to unite with Rome, having, by the help of Rome, gained those ends, it will be impossible, without the help of Rome, to make them effective, or to reverse them, or to hinder Rome from making them effective in her own way. When the thing is done, it will be too late to talk of not allowing this or that. The whole thing will then be sold into the hands of Rome, and there will be no remedy. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 12.1}
In a resolution at a meeting in Glasgow, Scotland, October 5, 1875, Dr. Joseph. P. Thompson well declared that "the papacy, as exemplified in the Vatican Decrees, is the most perfected of all existing forms of tyranny."—Our Country, page 50. And Lord Macaulay made no mistake when he wrote the following:— {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 12.2}
"It is impossible to deny that the polity of the church of Rome is the very masterpiece of human wisdom. . . . The experience of twelve hundred eventful years, the ingenuity and patient care of forty generations of statesmen, have improved that polity to such perfection that, among the contrivances which have been devised for deceiving and oppressing mankind, it occupies the highest place."—Essays, Von Ranke. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 13.1}
And it is into the power of this "most perfected of all existing forms of tyranny;" it is into the hands of this mistress of human deception and oppression, that the National Reformers deliberately propose to surrender the United States Government and the American people. But just as surely as the American people allow the National Reform party, of anything else, cart of seeming friendship for Christianity, or for any other reason, to do this thing, they are undone. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 13.2}
Many people think that those who are directing attention to the dangers of religious legislation, are exerting themselves to no purpose, some claiming that there is no possibility of the success of National Reform, and others declaring that there is no danger if it does succeed. But as the National Reform party is allied with Rome, there is danger. Then put with this the almost universal demand for more rigorous laws, more vigorously enforced, for the stricter religious observance of Sunday, the very thing above all others at which the National Reform movement aims—and the danger is increased, and is imminent. In view of these facts, there is great danger that through the sophistry of the National Reform arguments, thousands upon thousands of people who favor Sunday laws will be induced, with ill-informed zeal, to support the National Reform movement, and so they and the whole nation be delivered into the hands of Rome. There is danger in the National Reform movement. We know it; and by the evidences we here give in their own words, it is high time that the American people began to realize it. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 13.3}
If the National Reformers and the Catholics, or any others, want to keep Sunday, let them do it. If they have not religion enough to lead them to do it without the aid of civil laws to compel themselves to do it, then let them have laws to compel themselves to do it. But Heaven forbid that they shall ever succeed in securing the laws that they ask, by which they will compel others to do it. And we do most devoutly pray, God forbid that they shall ever succeed in their scheme of putting into the hands of Rome the power to enforce religious laws and to correct heresy. God forbid that they shall ever succeed in making free America a slave to Rome. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 14.1}
The success of the National Reform movement will be the success of Rome. Therefore, to support the National Reform movement, is to support Rome. How many of the American people are ready to enter into the National Reform scheme?

*********************************
In light of American history, I would ask if the invitation of all people of faith to join Archbishop Vigano in his attempt to thwart the movements of the Globalist Totalitarians remains such, at face value.
Jones wrote dozens of books and tracts regarding subjects of world and American history, prophecy, Christian living, Church order and organization, and other subjects. He was a "mule skinner" in the Union army, and upon his conversion to Christianity he became one of the most powerful Protestant voices in America closing out the 19th and opening the 20th century.

*************************
The American Papacy.
SINCE the year 1856, a book entitled "Our Country" has been largely circulated, and it has excited a great deal of attention throughout the United States. The book was written for the American Home Missionary Society, its object being to present "facts and arguments showing the imperative need of home missionary work for the evangelization of the land." In a startling as well as splendid array of facts, it presents the growth, the size, the resources, and the perils of our country. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 3.1}
Among the perils to our country, the author rightly places Romanism, and by many excellent quotations proves that it is indeed a peril. We quote a passage or two:— {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 3.2}
"There are many who are disposed to attribute any fear of Roman Catholicism in the United States to bigotry or childishness. Such see nothing in the character and attitude of Romanism that is hostile to our free institutions, or find nothing portentous in its growth. Let us, then, first compare some of the fundamental principles of our Government with those of the Catholic Church. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 3.3}
"The Constitution of the United States guarantees liberty of conscience. Nothing is clearer or more fundamental. Pope Pius IX., in his Encyclical Letter of August 15, 1854, said: 'The absurd and erroneous doctrines or ravings in defense of liberty of conscience, are a pestilential error—a pest, of all others, most to be dreaded in a State.' The same pope, in his Encyclical Letter of December 8, 1864, anathematizes 'those who assert the liberty of conscience and of religious worship,' also 'all such as maintain that the church may not employ force.'" {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 4.1}
"The pacific tone of Rome in the United States does not imply a change of heart. She is tolerant where she is helpless. Says Bishop O'Connor: 'Religious liberty is merely endured until the opposite can he carried into effect without peril to the Catholic world.' . . . The Archbishop of St. Louis once said: 'Heresy and unbelief are crimes; and in Christian countries, as in Italy and Spain, for instance, where all the people are Catholics, and where the Catholic religion is an essential part of the law of the land, they are punished as other crimes." . . . {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 4.2}
"Every cardinal, archbishop, and bishop in the Catholic Church takes an oath of allegiance to the Pope, in which occur the following words: Heretics, schismatics, and rebels to our said Lord (the pope), or his aforesaid successors, I will to my utmost persecute and oppose.'" {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 4.3}
"Cardinal Manning advises Romanists throughout the world to enter politics as Romanists, and to do this especially in England and the United States. In our large cities the priests are already in politics, and to some purpose. . . . We are told that the native Catholics of Arizona and New Mexico are not energetic as the Protestants who are pushing into these Territories. True, but they are energetic enough to be enough to be counted. The most wretched members of society count as much at the polls as the best, and too often much more." {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 4.4}
All this and much more is true of Romanism. And although there is just cause for fear that the principles of Romanism will let be legalized by the laws of this nation, we are certain that it will never accomplish this of itself nor in its own name. We are perfectly assured that if ever Romanism gains such power in this Government, it will be through the mediumship and by the instrumentalities of the National Reform party; for, as crafty, as crude, as bitterly opposed to our free institutions as Rome is, as this book shows she is, and as men know that she is, yet the National Reformers are willing and even anxious to join hands with her, and enlist her in the promotion of their scheme of so-called reform. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 5.1}
In saying that the National Reformers are willing and even anxious to join hands with Romanism in America, we only state the sober truth, as proved by the following statement from an editorial in the Christian Statesman of December 11, 1884:— {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 5.2}
"Whenever they [the Roman Catholics] are willing to co-operate in resisting the progress of political atheism, we will gladly join hands with them." {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 5.3}
What the Statesman designates as "political atheism," is nothing more nor less than the present form of government and the present Constitution of the United States. To oppose National Reform is to them sheer atheism; and to oppose the kind of government, which they indorse is political atheism. That no religious test shall be required of a civil ruler, is declared by Rev. M. A. Gault to be "the infidel theory of government."—Statesman, December 24, 1885. The theory of government taught in our national Constitution" is declared by Rev. A. M. Milligan to be "the infidel theory."—Speech in the New York Convention. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 5.4}
The Statesman of December 1, 1884, further says:— {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 6.1}
"We cordially, gladly, recognize the fact that in South American republics, and in France and other European countries, the Roman Catholics are the recognized advocates of national Christianity, and stand opposed to all the proposals of secularism. . . . In a world's conference for the promotion of national Christianity, many countries could be represented only by Roman Catholics." {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 6.2}
It is beyond question, therefore, that what the Statesman means is, that whenever the Roman Catholics are willing to co-operate with the National Reformers in the scheme for the establishment of national Christianity in the United States, the National Reformers "will gladly join hands with them." But the Roman Catholics are always ready to co-operate in that thing. That is one of Rome's clearest characteristics. Rome hates our present form of government and our present Constitution as heartily as do the National Reformers. Rome, too, would readily enough brand our present system of government as "political atheism," if the National Reformers had not already done it for her. And every body may rest assured that the National Reformers will have the pleasure of "gladly" joining hands with Rome, just as soon as they shall have gained a position of sufficient importance to make it to the interest of Rome to join hands with them. In fact, this is exactly what Roman Catholics are commanded to do, in his Encyclical Letter published in 1885, Pope Leo XIII. Says:— {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 6.3}
"All Catholics should do all in their power to cause the constitutions of States, and legislation, to be modeled on the principles of the true church, and all Catholic writers journalists should never lose sight, for an instant, from the of the above prescriptions." {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 7.1}
From the foregoing quotations from the Statesman, it is seen, that in European and South American countries the Roman Catholics are the recognized advocates of national Christianity; National Christianity is the object of the National Reform movement; our Constitution and legislation have to be remodeled before this national Christianity can he established; to remodel our Constitution and legislation in the aim of National Reform; but this is exactly what "all Catholics" are by the Pope ex cathedra commanded to do, all and not to lose sight of it for an instant. Therefore, what the National Reformers propose to do with our Constitution and legislation is precisely what the Roman Catholics in this country are commanded by the Pope to do. Therefore the aim of National Reform and the aim of Rome are identical; and why should they not "gladly join hands"? {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 7.2}
But that the National Reformers will gladly join hands with Rome, is not all of the story—not near all. They actually and deliberately propose to make overtures to Rome for co-operation. They actually propose to make advances, and repeated advances, and even to suffer rebuffs, to gain the help of Rome in their Romish scheme of "National Christianity." Proof of this is in the Christian Statesman of August 31, 1881, where Rev. Sylvester F. Scovel, a leading National Reformer, says:— {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 8.1}
"This common interest ["of all religious people in the Sabbath"—Sunday] ought both to strengthen our determination to work, and our readiness to co-operate in every way with our Roman Catholic fellow-citizens. We may be subjected to some rebuffs in our first proffers, and the time is not yet come when the Roman Church will consent to strike hands with other churches—as such; but the time has come to make repeated advances, and gladly to accept co-operation in any form in which they may be willing to exhibit it. It is one of the necessities of the situation." {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 8.2}
Notice, the advances are all on the side of the National Reformers. They are now only willing to make advances, but are willing to be subjected to "rebuffs," and, being rebuffed, to make "repeated advances," to overcome the coquetry and gain the treacherous favor of "the mistress of witchcrafts." And why this willingness? Because "it is one of the necessities of the situation"—and the italics are his. Shades of Wickliffe, and Luther, and Zwingle, and Milton, and Wesley, and of all the martyrs! was there ever in the world a more humiliating, a more contemptible surrender to the papacy? How many of the American people are ready to join in it? But know of a surety that every one who joins in the National Reform movement thereby joins in a scheme for the delivery of this free land into the hand of the Papacy. Just here, please read again the quotations from Dr. Strong's book, at the beginning of this article, and see whether the National Reformers in joining hands with Rome, do not equally with Rome show themselves the enemies of the United States Government, and of American institutions—the enemies of human right and human liberty. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 8.3}
It is true, as Mr. Scovel says, the National Reformers now receive somewhat cool treatment, and perhaps sense rebuffs. The Catholic Church does not to any considerable extent directly aid in the National Reform movement. She is too crafty for that. She knows, as well as they, that "it is one of the necessities of the situation," and she is determined to have the surrender come from them. We personally know a gentleman, who, riding in the railroad not long since, fell into conversation with a Catholic priest, and finally said to him, "What is your church going to do with the Religious Amendment movement? Are you going to help it forward? Are you going to vote for it?" "Oh," said the priest, "we have nothing to do with that. We leave that to the Protestants, we let them do all that. They are coming to us, and we only have to wait." {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 9.1}
And when in December, 1855, the demand for a national Sunday law reached the point at which it was supported by six millions of petitioners, Cardinal Gibbons came out with a letter to Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts, the leader of the Protestant side, heartily endorsing the national Sunday bill, and gladly adding his name to the number of petitioners. And on the strength of the Cardinal's letter, Dr. Crafts and the W. C. T. U. added seven million two hundred thousand Catholics to the six million names already obtained. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 10.1}
Such is the attitude of the Catholic Church at present; and as the National Reformers find themselves more in need of help, and when, by repeated advances, and in spite of repeated "rebuffs," they have come to her and made the proper surrender, she will let her power and influence be felt. Let the Reformers do the work, as they are doing, and bring the matter to the point of being voted upon, then there will be found at the polls every Catholic voter its the United States whom the political priests can rule, casting his ballot for the Religious Amendment, which, in the words of the Pope, will "cause the Constitution of" the United "States, and legislation, to be modeled on the principles of the true Church," and by which, as the Archbishop of St. Louis says, "heresy and unbelief" will become "crimes," and will be "punished as crimes," as in the Christian countries" of Italy and Spain. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 10.2}
It may be of interest to inquire, What was the subject which drew from Mr. Scovel this expression of willingness, it not anxiety, to gain the co-operation of Rome? He was writing of a movement of the Catholic Church in Europe, for the strict observance of Sunday; and it is to compel everybody to keep Sunday that the National Reformers want the Constitutional Amendment, and legislation under it. Now as the Catholics in Europe are earnestly engaged in it, the question occurs to the National Reformers. "Why shall we not join hands with the Catholics in America, so that we can win? True it is, we may be subjected to some rebuffs in our first proffers, for time has not come when the Roman Church will strike hands with other churches—as such; but the time has come for us to make repeated advances and gladly accept co-operation in any form in which they may be willing to exhibit it. It is one of the necessities of the situation. For without the help of Rome, we cannot compel people to keep Sunday. But if we can enlist with us the powerful hand, and the masterly organization, of Rome, our success is assured." That is the sum and substance of this proposition of the National Reformers. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 11.1}
SOLD INTO THE HANDS OF ROME
Then, when the time comes for the enforcement of the laws which they now demand, what is to hinder the
Catholics from assisting in the work, and that, too, is the Catholic way? Every priest in the United States is sworn to root out heresy. And Monsignor Capel, in our cities and at our very doors, defends the "Holy Inquisition." And when, by Constitutional Amendment, the refusal to observe Sunday becomes heresy that can be reached by the law, what then is to hinder the Catholics from acting a prominent part in rooting out the heresy? Certainly when the National Reformers shall have been compelled by the necessity of the situation to call on the Catholics for help to make the laws, it would not be in their power, even were it in their disposition, to repeal the laws independent of the Catholics; so there would then be nothing left but the enforcement of the laws—by Catholics, if by nobody else. This view of the case alone ought to be sufficient to arouse every Protestant and every American to the most uncompromising opposition to the National Reform party. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 11.2}
It is of no use for the National Reformers to say that they will not allow the Catholics to do these things. For when the National Reformers, to gain the ends which they have in view, are compelled by "the necessities of the situation" to unite with Rome, having, by the help of Rome, gained those ends, it will be impossible, without the help of Rome, to make them effective, or to reverse them, or to hinder Rome from making them effective in her own way. When the thing is done, it will be too late to talk of not allowing this or that. The whole thing will then be sold into the hands of Rome, and there will be no remedy. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 12.1}
In a resolution at a meeting in Glasgow, Scotland, October 5, 1875, Dr. Joseph. P.

And it is into the power of this "most perfected of all existing forms of tyranny;" it is into the hands of this mistress of human deception and oppression, that the National Reformers deliberately propose to surrender the United States Government and the American people. But just as surely as the American people allow the National Reform party, of anything else, cart of seeming friendship for Christianity, or for any other reason, to do this thing, they are undone. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 13.2}
Many people think that those who are directing attention to the dangers of religious legislation, are exerting themselves to no purpose, some claiming that there is no possibility of the success of National Reform, and others declaring that there is no danger if it does succeed. But as the National Reform party is allied with Rome, there is danger. Then put with this the almost universal demand for more rigorous laws, more vigorously enforced, for the stricter religious observance of Sunday, the very thing above all others at which the National Reform movement aims—and the danger is increased, and is imminent.

There is danger in the National Reform movement. We know it; and by the evidences we here give in their own words, it is high time that the American people began to realize it. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 13.3}
If the National Reformers and the Catholics, or any others, want to keep Sunday, let them do it. If they have not religion enough to lead them to do it without the aid of civil laws to compel themselves to do it, then let them have laws to compel themselves to do it. But Heaven forbid that they shall ever succeed in securing the laws that they ask, by which they will compel others to do it. And we do most devoutly pray, God forbid that they shall ever succeed in their scheme of putting into the hands of Rome the power to enforce religious laws and to correct heresy. God forbid that they shall ever succeed in making free America a slave to Rome. {April 15, 1889 ATJ, TAMP 14.1}
The success of the National Reform movement will be the success of Rome. Therefore, to support the National Reform movement, is to support Rome. How many of the American people are ready to enter into the National Reform scheme?

429. Puppets - November 23, 2021
The more you observe the world, at least from a biblical worldview, and using some logic and common sense, you begin to see everything and everyone against freedom and liberty are puppets who control other puppets, who control puppets down the line.
If you believe there is good and evil, and if you believe there are agents of both, and if you just watch how these agents act, who want control, you begin to see such a convoluted patchwork of scheming and lies and all the rest that they push onto those who expose them, it almost, almost becomes a comedy of errors. But, people are dying. There is no comedy element to all this.
Fauci has lied from the beginning, so has Bill Gates. They are puppets themselves, caught in their own webs of deceit. Never in the history of medical explanations has the goalpost been moved so many times in addressing an out break. Videos have been made of Fauci fouling up every other statement he makes. Gates is just plain creepy. All one needs do is read the research and investigation people have done on him and his money trail to know he is a puppet. Walensky is a puppet. Biden is so obviously a puppet it is embarrassing. Well, no, he still has enough cognizance to say, No. He doesn't have to be used like this to destroy the Republic. He could refuse. He won't, though. Being President is too much fun for him. He gets to sniff children and eat ice cream all the time. I'm dead serious.
In Germany, a Dr. refused to be a puppet anymore, jumped off the clinic he works at, and left behind a suicide note stating he could no longer dispense this bioweapon on patients. The accuracy and chain of custody of the note are obviously being disputed. The government does not want that information out. The puppets there will do all they can to make the Dr. look like a mentally stressed and sick man, and they'll offer condolences to his family while they destroy his name and character.
https://stessnews.online/2021/11/17/germany-dr-thomas-jendges-head-of-clinic-commits-suicide-covid-19-vaccine-is-a-genocide/amp/
Doctors dispensing a fluid they KNOW is dangerous because they are not stupid, are puppets. It is wholly conceivable money has made the difference for all of them. A certain dollar figure per shot, a lump sum for their cooperation. Look, the world is filling up with evil, just as the Bible predicted. It is a man-made, manipulated virus, and a man-made, manipulated injection they had to change the definition of the word "vaccine" for, to add this agent to the list and make it acceptable to the growing millions now realizing this event is an enormous play for world control.
The most heavily vaccinated countries are seeing the greatest rise in "cases." They are blaming the unvaccinated. Australia, Austria, Slovakia, and other nations are finally dropping the hammer. Get vaxxed or get completely separated from your fellow man you pose a threat to. And yet Africa, with no serious medical fabric to its continental society, has no raving deaths from Covid, and after trials where they saw the dangers of the vaccines, are refusing them on a national level, and the continent is doing okay, to the bewilderment of the world-wide medical community. That's BS. The puppet masters are pissed off Africa will not cooperate. There is no bewilderment. There is angst. Sweden already proved the virus was not the killer the fearmongers stated, and keep stating, yet, Sweden pushed the injections and now they are seeing great rises in cases. Huh? Yeah. It's the same all over the world.
The word "immunity" has become so rare and so vilified, no one dare use it, save for those with common sense. Never in the history of the world has a virus not met a wall of immunity resistance and ultimately died out. Yet the Puppet masters demand the entire world get injected with their cure, which they now tell us does not cure, does not immunize, does not protect, wears off in 2-6 months, and booster shots will be the future for everybody, while they bury more and statistics of adverse reactions.
In the EU, stats got released that over 30,000 have died from the shots, and well over 1,000,000 have had serious adverse reactions. Those numbers, like VAERS, can be guaranteed to be very, very low of actual counts.
If money is the root of all evil, one can be sure it is flowing like a 40-day rain river. Pay offs for aid, for silence, for compliance for anything and everything. Honesty is no longer a serious commodity in our world. "Everybody has their price," is, indeed, a fact when it comes to anyone not controlled by the Spirit of God. Even those controlled by the Lord can walk away and succumb to the temptation of enrichment.
Why did Jesus state, point blank, when He returns, shall He find faith on the Earth? Because there will not be that much of it. A remnant will have it. They are referred to as the 144,000. I do not believe it is a literal number because of the way it sits within symbolic imagery in the passages it is found. At times, it seems certainly possible it is a literal number. I hold to principles of biblical interpretation to maintain my position in the face of dwindling numbers of humanity who care about righteousness.
Matter of fact, the easiest way to know puppets exist is to behold the absolute lies about Kyle Rittenhouse. Man, o, man, if ever there existed a platform for lawsuits against slander and libel, Kyle Rittenhouse, if he so chooses, will become a very wealthy young man.
I have said nothing about him and his situation because from the beginning the evidence showed the guy was acting in self-defense. I did not watch the trial, did not care because it was more obvious than a train wreck he was not a murderer. It was such a no-brainer, only a puppet on strings would pursue criminal charges against him. The puppet show apparently put on by the prosecution proved to be the scissors that cut the thin strings holding them up. Big-time crash and burn.
The reaction from the puppet mobs was so predictable, it would have kept Las Vegas from taking bets. And the useful idiots cannot say anything other than, White supremacy, white supremacy, and more white supremacy, when ONLY "WHITE" PEOPLE were directly involved in the incident! You cannot make this stuff up. But, oh, they mean 11 white people on the jury. White jury, white defendant, white attorneys, white judge: pigment of skin tone means Rittenhouse was guilty and his people let him off.
Ignorance like that is not only dangerous to rational thought and response but, just a show of absolute puppet control.
Even the despicable actions of the lunatic who plowed into the Christmas parade are now predictable. People are more and more coming under the complete control of Satan. The problem is, the most dangerous are not plowing into parades. They are on the evening news every night, telling their lies, and people no longer practicing critical thinking are sucked into them, and acting as planned - scared mice, shivering, willing to do whatever told to them in how to stay safe, and damn the rights of people who refuse.
Everybody wonders about who the puppet masters are. The George Soros-type billionaires? The world banksters? Klaus Schwab and his World Economic Forum? The gigantic, nation-size powerful pharmaceutical companies, apparently holding the world hostage at this point? They cannot, by law, be held responsible or accountable for anything these concoctions do to humanity. What does that leave? A tsunami of lawsuits against governments, doctors, hospitals, and anybody not protected by contracted agreements, like governments made with the pharma companies. Which, then, obviously puts the American Congress and other national government bodies on strings. Puppets everywhere.
Well, the obvious puppet master is Lucifer, Satan, the Devil. He and his legions of puppet angels who originally rebelled with him in heaven, after being deluded by his lies, run the world. He is called "the god of this world" (2 Cor. 4:4", and that is a fact. Yes, God overrules him and his forces all the time but, when it comes to mankind's choices, they choose his sophistries every day, not God's truth.
Beneath him, the puppet masters are the ones who have the most money. It is said 13 families run the world. Did you know almost 500 new billionaires were made during this pandemic? I've seen 1,000 in some headlines. Does anybody actually know? There are over 2000 of them in the world today. Only estimates exist for their total wealth, in the tens of trillions of dollars. Wealth beyond imagination.
Below them are the puppets paid to enrich their coffers by cooperation in any vein they choose: war, especially, because wars are profitable. Medical, currency movements, infrastructure, and down the ladder it goes. I mentioned in a previous post, the two investment companies that basically have their fingers in every piece of the world pie, Blackrock and Vanguard. Others exist below them. The ten biggest have a total of around $33 trillion of control.
Puppets. The world is filled with puppets, and no one free from control. No one. NO ONE. Everyone is under the control of two powers: God or Satan. If you are not decidedly under the control of God, by default you are under the control of the Devil. There are no free agents looking for a better team to play with. Only two teams exist, biblically speaking. It is extremely simple. We are on God's team or, we are on Lucifer's. No other teams exist. We are separated from righteousness in birth. At some point we must choose to change teams and join God's by new birth, or we remain on the losing side. All the wealth, stackable to the Moon and back a thousand times, is worthless to God, who owns the universe.
The world IS going to end someday. The puppet masters under Satan have no control over that. No matter what they do to get and maintain control, it is way out of their hands because they cannot control truth. If they shut down every, single technological avenue of truth, they will never stop it. So, just kill off the planet's population, leaving behind the top puppets, and carry on, controlling everything. They had a plan, long conceived, now being carried out and that continent of Africa... monkey wrench. Millions rising up... money wrenches. A handful, then dozens, now hundreds of alternative news outlets telling the truth of what is going on... monkey wrench. The puppet masters are up against a clock, now. Time is not on their side and frankly, even if they had everything under control... then there's GOD. Tough break on that one. Christ knows every heart, every mind, every moment of every day coming, and He has a plan, too, which the puppet masters cannot possibly defeat. Impossible. Literally.
So, for those who see the bigger picture, we have faith God may let things get very dark but, light will yet appear and the wheels of the gospel will always continue to turn and move towards the great day when Christ finally calls it a day and closes up shop on this corporate cabal of puppet masters and all their strings, and pulverizes it to dust and darkness.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
If you believe there is good and evil, and if you believe there are agents of both, and if you just watch how these agents act, who want control, you begin to see such a convoluted patchwork of scheming and lies and all the rest that they push onto those who expose them, it almost, almost becomes a comedy of errors. But, people are dying. There is no comedy element to all this.
Fauci has lied from the beginning, so has Bill Gates. They are puppets themselves, caught in their own webs of deceit. Never in the history of medical explanations has the goalpost been moved so many times in addressing an out break. Videos have been made of Fauci fouling up every other statement he makes. Gates is just plain creepy. All one needs do is read the research and investigation people have done on him and his money trail to know he is a puppet. Walensky is a puppet. Biden is so obviously a puppet it is embarrassing. Well, no, he still has enough cognizance to say, No. He doesn't have to be used like this to destroy the Republic. He could refuse. He won't, though. Being President is too much fun for him. He gets to sniff children and eat ice cream all the time. I'm dead serious.
In Germany, a Dr. refused to be a puppet anymore, jumped off the clinic he works at, and left behind a suicide note stating he could no longer dispense this bioweapon on patients. The accuracy and chain of custody of the note are obviously being disputed. The government does not want that information out. The puppets there will do all they can to make the Dr. look like a mentally stressed and sick man, and they'll offer condolences to his family while they destroy his name and character.

Doctors dispensing a fluid they KNOW is dangerous because they are not stupid, are puppets. It is wholly conceivable money has made the difference for all of them. A certain dollar figure per shot, a lump sum for their cooperation. Look, the world is filling up with evil, just as the Bible predicted. It is a man-made, manipulated virus, and a man-made, manipulated injection they had to change the definition of the word "vaccine" for, to add this agent to the list and make it acceptable to the growing millions now realizing this event is an enormous play for world control.
The most heavily vaccinated countries are seeing the greatest rise in "cases." They are blaming the unvaccinated. Australia, Austria, Slovakia, and other nations are finally dropping the hammer. Get vaxxed or get completely separated from your fellow man you pose a threat to. And yet Africa, with no serious medical fabric to its continental society, has no raving deaths from Covid, and after trials where they saw the dangers of the vaccines, are refusing them on a national level, and the continent is doing okay, to the bewilderment of the world-wide medical community. That's BS. The puppet masters are pissed off Africa will not cooperate. There is no bewilderment. There is angst. Sweden already proved the virus was not the killer the fearmongers stated, and keep stating, yet, Sweden pushed the injections and now they are seeing great rises in cases. Huh? Yeah. It's the same all over the world.
The word "immunity" has become so rare and so vilified, no one dare use it, save for those with common sense. Never in the history of the world has a virus not met a wall of immunity resistance and ultimately died out. Yet the Puppet masters demand the entire world get injected with their cure, which they now tell us does not cure, does not immunize, does not protect, wears off in 2-6 months, and booster shots will be the future for everybody, while they bury more and statistics of adverse reactions.
In the EU, stats got released that over 30,000 have died from the shots, and well over 1,000,000 have had serious adverse reactions. Those numbers, like VAERS, can be guaranteed to be very, very low of actual counts.
If money is the root of all evil, one can be sure it is flowing like a 40-day rain river. Pay offs for aid, for silence, for compliance for anything and everything. Honesty is no longer a serious commodity in our world. "Everybody has their price," is, indeed, a fact when it comes to anyone not controlled by the Spirit of God. Even those controlled by the Lord can walk away and succumb to the temptation of enrichment.
Why did Jesus state, point blank, when He returns, shall He find faith on the Earth? Because there will not be that much of it. A remnant will have it. They are referred to as the 144,000. I do not believe it is a literal number because of the way it sits within symbolic imagery in the passages it is found. At times, it seems certainly possible it is a literal number. I hold to principles of biblical interpretation to maintain my position in the face of dwindling numbers of humanity who care about righteousness.
Matter of fact, the easiest way to know puppets exist is to behold the absolute lies about Kyle Rittenhouse. Man, o, man, if ever there existed a platform for lawsuits against slander and libel, Kyle Rittenhouse, if he so chooses, will become a very wealthy young man.
I have said nothing about him and his situation because from the beginning the evidence showed the guy was acting in self-defense. I did not watch the trial, did not care because it was more obvious than a train wreck he was not a murderer. It was such a no-brainer, only a puppet on strings would pursue criminal charges against him. The puppet show apparently put on by the prosecution proved to be the scissors that cut the thin strings holding them up. Big-time crash and burn.
The reaction from the puppet mobs was so predictable, it would have kept Las Vegas from taking bets. And the useful idiots cannot say anything other than, White supremacy, white supremacy, and more white supremacy, when ONLY "WHITE" PEOPLE were directly involved in the incident! You cannot make this stuff up. But, oh, they mean 11 white people on the jury.

430. Jesus Said It - November 24, 2021
As I look at headlines and listen to or read political commentary by "Conservatives," most professing belief in God and Christ, I am seeing, over and over again, the reason why America and the world is in the condition it's in. It may be, it is disgusting, repulsive, sad, tragic, horrific and any other descriptive term you'd choose to use but, it is not surprising, nor is it shocking really because for 2,000 years hundreds of millions, billions of people with access to a Bible could read for themselves the very conditions we are seeing from the teachings of Jesus, when He walked this Earth.
It is easy, truly easy to show conditions called signs of the times and last-day events have taken place all throughout the centuries. Ghastly, gut wrenching things - natural disasters, disease, war, famine and all the rest. So, when people in the Christian faith bring out signs of the times, people yawn.
There is a definitive statement in the Bible that cuts that attitude to shreds, aside from other principles I'll mention. It's found in a letter from the apostle Peter.
2Pet 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
2Pet 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
2Pet 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
2Pet 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
2Pet 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
Scoffers existed in the days of Noah. A beautiful Earth, existing for almost 1800 years, with moral conditions breaking down until the life of the human race was threatened with complete and total debauchery, God stepped in and flooded the planet. He put an end to all life on Earth, save for one family left to cooperate and warn the world around them as multitudes came and watched the building of a boat where no water to be seen in any direction existed.
One day, as people scoffed, came and left, derided, laughed and partied like some tail-gate parking lot ritual, animals began to approach, thousands of them, in pairs, male and female, and others by seven, quietly, orderly, and walked up the ramp into the boat, or flew through the great opening, leaving the multitudes stunned. Then, the moment came when the great ramp became useless. A door closed the great opening up tight. The astonished and curious multitude watched. Nothing happened. Fools! They closed themselves in with all those animals! Talk about a floating septic tank! And the partying went on, with even more raucous chiding of the old man and his family. All was forgotten how thousands of animals and birds and insects representing each family, each kind of God's creation moved with determined intent at the instructions of their Creator. Sin was closing the last gaps of reality and reason for the human race.
As the partying went on, as kids threw rocks at the boat, and found ways to climb on top, the skies began to get gray. An intensity such as never was seen by human eyes developed in the skies above. Dense, thick, dark clouds gathered as far as the eyes could see and then, it happened.
We cannot imagine the multiplied terror that came next. The entire Earth heaved. The flood waters heaved. Mountain ranges crashed upwards. The waters burst like battleship cannons as debris, rocks, boulders, chunks of Earth shot into the atmosphere as the great deep exploded.
Five months later, all life was gone. The boat settled on dry ground, the family and life on board went forth and began again.
People scoff at that today. Animals just walking into a boat? The world covered with water? How stupid are you?
Well, I'm intelligent enough to see the planet is covered by 2/3 of water presently, the only known planet to be so. Change a few parameters caused by the flood and the entire surface of the Earth would be covered with water again.
What is coming this time is fire, the fire of the Lord; the glory, the consuming glory of Christ that shall ignite the globe when He returns. But, that will not yet be the end. That comes a thousand years later.
Anyway, what do the headlines tell us today? They tell us homosexuality is becoming common place, in the mind of humanity, anyway. And that is only some cultures, not all. Some cultures have enough common sense to retain the obvious: there are only two sexes, male and female, and the history of humanity has been functioning with a man and a woman entering into relationships that foster the upbringing of children, and the world continues on, millennia after millennia. The same goes for the animal kingdom as well. That's how God created it. But, humans cannot stand any restrictions. They cannot abide by standards given by an invisible "God." They rebel, though they consider it heightened intellectual capacities being unleashed. All cultures will succumb at some point.
If I were to state Joe Biden is mentally ill, well, nobody would really argue that. If I claimed Nancy Pelosi is mentally ill, well, she has demonstrated some odd moments of locution so, maybe I'd not really strike a nerve there, either. If I stated AOC is mentally ill... even there, she is 'out there' enough, nobody would strike back, even members of her own political party. Now, if I said Donald Trump were mentally ill, millions would instantly agree, and millions would instantly rise up to defend him. If I said Barack Obama were mentally ill, exactly the same. How about Tulsi Gabbard? Calling Tulsi Gabbard mentally ill would seem to instantly make me mentally ill. There are few people in politics more calm, stable, reasonable, and polite. No, I disagree with her political positions. They are self-evident enough to be left of center, Marxist wealth-redistribution policies. But, her military service and all? She's a decent human being, taking her at face value.
Now, I'm going to take it a step further. Is anybody mentally perfect? Nope. Every human has a bent to sin. Sinning is, at the very least, stupid, if not mental illness. Sin hurts us, whether we believe it or not. Sin hurts others, whether we care or not. Sin hurts God in ways we cannot understand. Sin is death. Sin is so destructive it threatened the universe, it threatened Heaven, it took the life of God, who came as a Babe in human flesh to save the mentally ill people who hate Him.
Now listen. It is easy to look at the religious leaders calling for Christ's death because He trampled all over their corrupt religious system, and be disgusted. It's easy to look past ignorant Romans that put Him on a cross. But, if I asked Tulsi Gabbard if she is born-again, loves Jesus Christ, and lives by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God; if I got any answer other than Yes, at the very least, that makes Tulsi Gabbard mentally deformed in some way because sin is a mental illness we need salvation from. Tulsi Gabbard may know she is a sinner but, the very remedy is available to her yet, it comes with restrictions, standards, laws, principles, rules way beyond the Golden Rule. To deny a Thus Saith the Lord is mental retardation at some level. That's just the way it is, and it does not matter how many degrees anyone has in how many subjects and from how many institutions. Sin is a mental illness. We are all mentally disabled, ill to some degree.
Iniquity, transgression and sin. That is how the Bible describes the human condition. We are iniquitous. We are selfish, we are warped when placed next to the standard of Christ. The act of carrying out what we are is transgression. Sin is the final act. We sin because of what we are. Without a change to what we are, in the mind, where sin begins, we are lost. We all share a common mental illness. We all have the mystery of iniquity working within us. We need the mystery of godliness to take over. Even after conversion, after new birth, spiritual birth, iniquity, its strength, is so deep we shall struggle with things throughout life. The older we get, the weaker our physical bodies and our minds become as DNA copying errors multiply and cells break down. So, you look for your glasses when they are around your neck or on your head. For some ridiculous reason you put your keys in the cupboard or fridge. Thinks that's funny? Yeah, you'll get there, only my generation will be gone before we can have that last laugh, and so will you before the generation coming up behind you.
The entire world is mentally ill to some capacity. It is so obvious to see and yet, very little from professed Christian Conservative commentators is heard that it is becoming obvious as a train wreck Jesus Christ is returning to Earth, based on the signs He gave and a whole lot more given by other writers. It is not a sign here a sign there, separated by decades. EVERYTHING is coming unglued. Everything is madness. Everything is losing all sense, all standards, all restrictions, all logic, all honesty, all integrity... EVERYTHING wrong is becoming right in the minds of a generation that just one generation earlier was seen as complete and utter foolishness and madness.
Professed Christians see the madness and want to stop it, change it, return things to normal when normality is going, not because of Covid but, because of sin!
Yes, I want to see it stop. I do not want my religious freedom, my freedom of conscience derailed by mentally ill, two-faced liars and pirates in Washington, D.C. I speak out. I take my stands for the Constitution and rule of law but, never can it be set aside that things are the way they are because of sin; the advancement of sin, which is darkness, which is covering the Earth, which means Christ is returning to the world and it is coming to an end.
You can say you are an agnostic, an atheist, a Muslim, a Buddhist, or anything else of thousands of religions and philosophies out there. Nothing has the accuracy of Bible prophecy to tell humans what is happening. Nothing. It is telling us the scoffers are growing exponentially. Mental illness is rapidly taking control. I recognize it and have for almost 43 years now, as God telling humanity the end of all things is at hand and has been for over a century and a half of definitive signs falling into place and shouting at the world, the King is coming.
The word, "iniquity," appears 262 times in the KJV. Most of those times are in the Old Testament. The times it appears in the New Testament are serious:
Matt 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Matt 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
Matt 23:28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Matt 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Luke 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
Those are the places where Christ used the term. I'll add one more, from Paul:
2Tim 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, The Lord knows them that are his. And, Let every one that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Some people, many, if not most, cannot read stuff like this. They recoil. They either have no interest or cannot handle spiritual truth, or worse, flat out reject it and think their way out of conviction. That is iniquity working within them.
I've already commented on the confusion being placed out there that this Covid event is setting up a last-day Beast and 666 and all. Sidetracks, distractions, confusion. Sincere but, wrong. Biblically incorrect. The Beast is here, has been and is actively positioning itself to gain world influence and dominance, behind the scenes mostly. Shakeups will yet come within the Roman Church. The whole world is going to shake. Everything that can shake, will shake.
If you do not believe me, please, tell me where I err. Tell me why the world is going mad. Explain to me why cultures are being dismantled in favor of nothing, which is what is being proposed. Nothing. I guess that makes sense, seeing "science" tries to tell us everything came from nothing. One Democrat Congresswoman advances the idea all prisons should be shut down and prisoners freed. She denied it, then had her own position read back to her when the notion's insanity was placed in front of her. Even longtime, lifelong Democrats and career politicians do not know what to do with the madness but, the Marxist base is clamoring for it all so, they capitulate and Republicans astoundingly cooperate, as though they have no party platform anymore.
As I have said many times, this is not a political issue. It's a church issue, and the waffling of Christian churches, for a couple centuries now, has allowed this to come along. Today, they are horrified at what their recalcitrance and insubordination to the Lord has caused; at least those who see it. They want their 'Happy Days' America back.
Too late now.
What is left now is to get sane; Christlike, godly sane, asap.
Jesus said it. "You must be born again."
Even so, come, Lord Jesus

Sin hurts us, whether we believe it or not. Sin hurts others, whether we care or not. Sin hurts God in ways we cannot understand. Sin is death. Sin is so destructive it threatened the universe, it threatened Heaven, it took the life of God, who came as a Babe in human flesh to save the mentally ill people who hate Him.
Now listen. It is easy to look at the religious leaders calling for Christ's death because He trampled all over their corrupt religious system, and be disgusted. It's easy to look past ignorant Romans that put Him on a cross. But, if I asked Tulsi Gabbard if she is born-again, loves Jesus Christ, and lives by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God; if I got any answer other than Yes, at the very least, that makes Tulsi Gabbard mentally deformed in some way because sin is a mental illness we need salvation from. Tulsi Gabbard may know she is a sinner but, the very remedy is available to her yet, it comes with restrictions, standards, laws, principles, rules way beyond the Golden Rule. To deny a Thus Saith the Lord is mental retardation at some level. That's just the way it is, and it does not matter how many degrees anyone has in how many subjects and from how many institutions. Sin is a mental illness. We are all mentally disabled, ill to some degree.
Iniquity, transgression and sin. That is how the Bible describes the human condition. We are iniquitous. We are selfish, we are warped when placed next to the standard of Christ. The act of carrying out what we are is transgression. Sin is the final act. We sin because of what we are. Without a change to what we are, in the mind, where sin begins, we are lost. We all share a common mental illness. We all have the mystery of iniquity working within us. We need the mystery of godliness to take over. Even after conversion, after new birth, spiritual birth, iniquity, its strength, is so deep we shall struggle with things throughout life. The older we get, the weaker our physical bodies and our minds become as DNA copying errors multiply and cells break down. So, you look for your glasses when they are around your neck or on your head. For some ridiculous reason you put your keys in the cupboard or fridge. Thinks that's funny? Yeah, you'll get there, only my generation will be gone before we can have that last laugh, and so will you before the generation coming up behind you.
The entire world is mentally ill to some capacity. It is so obvious to see and yet, very little from professed Christian Conservative commentators is heard that it is becoming obvious as a train wreck Jesus Christ is returning to Earth, based on the signs He gave and a whole lot more given by other writers. It is not a sign here a sign there, separated by decades. EVERYTHING is coming unglued. Everything is madness. Everything is losing all sense, all standards, all restrictions, all logic, all honesty, all integrity... EVERYTHING wrong is becoming right in the minds of a generation that just one generation earlier was seen as complete and utter foolishness and madness.
Professed Christians see the madness and want to stop it, change it, return things to normal when normality is going, not because of Covid but, because of sin!
Yes, I want to see it stop. I do not want my religious freedom, my freedom of conscience derailed by mentally ill, two-faced liars and pirates in Washington, D.C. I speak out. I take my stands for the Constitution and rule of law but, never can it be set aside that things are the way they are because of sin; the advancement of sin, which is darkness, which is covering the Earth, which means Christ is returning to the world and it is coming to an end.
You can say you are an agnostic, an atheist, a Muslim, a Buddhist, or anything else of thousands of religions and philosophies out there. Nothing has the accuracy of Bible prophecy to tell humans what is happening. Nothing. It is telling us the scoffers are growing exponentially. Mental illness is rapidly taking control. I recognize it and have for almost 43 years now, as God telling humanity the end of all things is at hand and has been for over a century and a half of definitive signs falling into place and shouting at the world, the King is coming.
The word, "iniquity," appears 262 times in the KJV. Most of those times are in the Old Testament. The times it appears in the New Testament are serious:
Matt 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Matt 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
Matt 23:28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Matt 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Luke 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
Those are the places where Christ used the term. I'll add one more, from Paul:
2Tim 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, The Lord knows them that are his. And, Let every one that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Some people, many, if not most, cannot read stuff like this. They recoil. They either have no interest or cannot handle spiritual truth, or worse, flat out reject it and think their way out of conviction. That is iniquity working within them.
I've already commented on the confusion being placed out there that this Covid event is setting up a last-day Beast and 666 and all. Sidetracks, distractions, confusion. Sincere but, wrong. Biblically incorrect. The Beast is here, has been and is actively positioning itself to gain world influence and dominance, behind the scenes mostly. Shakeups will yet come within the Roman Church. The whole world is going to shake. Everything that can shake, will shake.
If you do not believe me, please, tell me where I err. Tell me why the world is going mad. Explain to me why cultures are being dismantled in favor of nothing, which is what is being proposed. Nothing. I guess that makes sense, seeing "science" tries to tell us everything came from nothing. One Democrat Congresswoman advances the idea all prisons should be shut down and prisoners freed. She denied it, then had her own position read back to her when the notion's insanity was placed in front of her. Even longtime, lifelong Democrats and career politicians do not know what to do with the madness but, the Marxist base is clamoring for it all so, they capitulate and Republicans astoundingly cooperate, as though they have no party platform anymore.
As I have said many times, this is not a political issue. It's a church issue, and the waffling of Christian churches, for a couple centuries now, has allowed this to come along. Today, they are horrified at what their recalcitrance and insubordination to the Lord has caused; at least those who see it. They want their 'Happy Days' America back.
Too late now.
What is left now is to get sane; Christlike, godly sane, asap.
Jesus said it. "You must be born again."
Even so, come, Lord Jesus
>>>>>A Hypersonic Missile Stew Peters Program>>>>>
I have been watching his program for some months now and this one was volcanic. Especially is that the case for the segment with Dr. David Martin. I've seen interviews with him since last year. Of all those commenting on this event, I do not believe anyone has been more direct and emphatic, with more documentation than him. The final segment with Deanna Lorraine was pretty mind blowing, as well.
The devils are revving up their engines. They are far from through with their plans. And now... well, you'll see. NOBODY in the government of the United States can be trusted to do the right thing and adhere to their oaths to protect the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

I have had my doubts about Trump all along and expressed them here over the last five or six years. Now my doubts are confirmed.
For those who want to go to Attorneys General to address this madness, as suggested, so be it. Frankly, there is only one basket I can see putting any and all eggs in: the hands of Almighty God.

431. I Hate Lies - November 25, 2021
Today is Thanksgiving, here in America. A bizarre one it has turned out to be, too. Family scheduling will cause us to get together with them tomorrow and today will just be a day of cooking for us.
If there's one thing I am always thankful for, it's truth.
Truth, to me, is the most important commodity in the world. It is more important than all precious metals or stones, more important than any and all career paths; it is the weaving of threads that holds together civilization.
Trust exists on a basis of truth.
Lie, trust evaporates, disintegrates, breaks down to dust of disappointment, pain, anger and feelings of vulnerability.
We have all been lied to. Everyone. First, by the "father of lies," Satan. Christ called him the father of lying and a murderer, John 8:44. His lies told in Heaven caused a rebellion wherein one third of the angelic host rebelled with him and were ultimately cast out. Our world is now their permanent field of conflict with Heaven.
Satan than lied to Eve, and that train of disastrous choices developed what we have today; a world where lying is so common and so accepted, it is done with complete impunity, regardless of where and why it is done. Depending on what lies are told and what it accomplishes and for whom, you can get away with lying about anything and everything and someone who benefits from your lying will protect you.
Not a day goes by where lies are not told by politicians, by corporate news, and by individual citizens of all countries and nations to each other, to other nations, and the world is now one enormous, gargantuan web of lies and deceit. "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor," is now a suggestion, not a direct command by which all humanity will be weighed against.
When I was exposed to the biblical message, back in 1979, I was stunned. As a Catholic, then atheist, the Bible was just some old book. It held no consequences for my daily existence. I knew nothing of what was actually in it, yet I argued against it for hours with friends who said it is necessary but, they themselves, were ignorant of its contents.
Eleven days after meeting a Bible instructor at my door, I gave my life to Christ and had a very dramatic and powerful experience that literally rocked my world and changed it forever. I was a liar. I lied for convenience sake. I lied to my parents, to teachers, to others in authority, just like everyone else around me. I was taught to lie by friends who did it. It was as natural to do as breathing. My parents did not teach me to lie. No way. As far as I knew they did not lie, aside from the various "innocent" lies of Santa Clause and all the rest. Those are lies, by the way. They offer absolutely no benefit to any child, period. It does not matter how innocent tales of Old Saint Nick are, they build a platform in the child's mind, a springboard. If parents can lie about a guy in a red suit, an Easter Bunny, a Tooth Fairy, or anything else, lying as such, must not be totally bad. But, it is, and when I found out I shall be judged by every single lie I ever told, as well as the results of breaking the other nine commandments... clinging to Christ for forgiveness, and weeping hot tears of guilt and remorse made more sense than all the gold and silver and accolades a career in Rock music could have ever afforded me.
Guilt is like a fever. A fever is the body's way of removing toxins. Guilt is a way of exposing toxins of sin that must be removed because sin kills. "The wages of sin is death." It's an odd way of describing it. Wages. I work for somebody in sinning? Who? Lucifer. I am an employee of the great Rebel and death are the wages I'll get paid.
People have lied their way to most important or elevated positions humanity has to offer in the world of commerce. Manufacturers lie all the time. Marketing lies. Ads lie. You cannot lie your way to being a King or Queen. That's a matter of birth but, you can certainly lie once you sit on the throne. Lying is everywhere.
Surveys taken over time show more and more people believe aspects of lying are okay. Little "white lies" are okay, however an individual defines them. I basically was raised with a religious system of sin. In the Catholic church there are venial sins and mortal sins. Levels of sin.
That is not how God sees sin. "Sin is transgression of the law," period. What did Adam and Eve do? I mean, c'mon, they ate a piece of fruit from a tree. So small a departure from righteousness. Call it a Tooth Fairy issue. I mean, seriously? Thrust out of the Garden and immortal life taken away because of a piece of fruit? They eventually got old and died because they took a bite?
Our reasoning is just in line with Satan's sophistries. God told the pair EVERYTHING was theirs to enjoy but one, simple, obvious thing. They were given a PLANET to enjoy, to populate, to make ever more beautiful year after year of endless life. They were the ultimate soul mates, made that way by design. Happiness was so built into their existence nothing could tear it down but, a simple choice to disobey a simple command, because an enemy exists, one out to destroy them. Pay attention, do as I require, pass the test, and all shall be fine. Disobey and you shall begin to die: because only a drop of poison can kill us, right? A microscopic bit of toxin can kill us. We know a drop of poison from some snakes can kill ten elephants. SIN IS POISON. It kills.
With Adam and Eve, right away the results of sin were seen. The woman blamed the serpent and the man blamed God for giving him his wife! Their innocence was gone. They did not confess their sin. They tried to hide it. And from there, here we are today, where lying means nothing, unless, of course, you are lied to. Then people get ticked off and hurt. Do to others what you would have them do to you makes a whole lot of sense when you get lied to.
A mentally deranged man, a lunatic, filled with rage, who already ran over his child's mother, let out of jail on $1000 bond, raced, zig-zagging through a Christmas parade, killing and wounding people of all ages, children to the elderly. Right now, today, the corporate media is spinning the story to make it seem it was a vehicular accident. LIES. Professional liars coming into the homes of the world 24 hours a day. Lying is a way of life.
Right now the biggest human lie in history is being perpetuated by a group of individuals so sick and wicked they believe they can just lie with impunity and protection, and pull off the greatest crime against humanity ever conceived. THAT is the event called Covid -19. The lies behind this event, propping up the event, manifesting itself within the event, tied to other events, are so densely packed it is mindboggling. It truly is.
People have gotten so used to lies, that their ability to critically examine things told to them has been warped. People have been numbed to trust entities that should not only, not be trusted but, exposed and prosecuted.
Those who are telling truth about the event are lied about. Well, look, people in control lied about Jesus Christ, the ultimate truth-teller. If humans will lie about God in human flesh, there is nothing they will not lie about.
As near as I can tell, by examination, there is not one, single aspect of the Covid-19 event that has not been propped up by lies. Not one. The lies are still being told. The medical cabal in control of the event has openly lied to governments. The Pharma companies have lied to the world. Politicians are lying to citizens on every continent. Corporate media outlets lie with such abandon there is obviously no such thing as shame anymore.
"Truth has been cast down to the ground." Another major sign of the times. It is not just here and there. It is EVERYWHERE.
Are you a liar? You WILL be held responsible and accountable for every single lie you have ever told. You WILL die because of your lies. I don't mean the natural death everybody dies. I mean the second death: the punishment for a life of sin never repented of.
For some people, many, if not most today, no big deal. They will live how they want, get away with what they can, hopefully not get caught, live the life they choose, or struggle with a life they did not, based on lies of others, die and that's it. Yeah, but, that's not just it. That's the whole point. The first death is not the end. Resurrection awaits. Judgment awaits. A consuming fire awaits, the horror of missing out on eternity awaits and THAT is the biggest shock and excruciatingly bitter pill to the mind humanity does not realize. The reality of TRUTH. God exists. Heaven exists. Eternal life or death are real, and when those who lied their way through life face that truth and reality, no human words will convey the horror of realizing what has been lost.
The lie that this life is all there is, is an abomination. No, as I have stated in other posts, there is no biblical truth to a place called "hell," where "souls" burn forever and ever. There is the truth that God is a consuming fire and sinners will be consumed in a final event termed the 'second death,' which shall be forever. No appeal. No new trial. The weight of the life will determine whether someone has connected to Christ or not, connected to truth or not, connected to love or stayed with self to determine how to live. Each life testifies to what we are: a blessing or a danger to peace and harmony and righteousness because "affliction shall not arise a second time." This is never going to happen again. Once sin is destroyed, that's it. Gone forever, never to rise up again. Lucifer gone, devils gone with him. Liars gone. Willfully rebellious humans gone. No excuses. Plenty of reasons but, no excuses. All had and have an opportunity to connect to their Creator and be given eternal life.
I know the facts behind the Covid event because I have read and watched the investigations of researchers searching for truth and exposing the lies. Bold-faced lies. Lies that have cost MILLIONS of lives, and the intent is BILLIONS of lives. The vaccination lies may not ever be prosecuted in this life but, they cannot escape the tribunal of the Almighty. They will face their lies someday, and they shall shake with fear and horror multiplied by ten thousand times, for what they have done and are doing, when the eyes of Christ penetrate their souls. Everybody not forgiven will face their lies someday.
You cannot lie and get away with it. It is impossible.
May God have mercy on our souls for what lies have cost.
*Addendum - I want to add something here. Truth.
"Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:31,32.
Do you remember the definitions and differences between freedom and liberty? Freedom is something granted by God, in the heart and mind. Nobody can control how you think. Your thoughts, beliefs, convictions are yours. You are free to think as you please. Liberty is legal freedom. Liberty is the God granted ability to act out your freedom of thought. Within the rule of God's law and man's laws, we are at liberty to live as we please, go where we choose. As long as we remain civil, we are free and at liberty to live our lives unmolested by public or private removal of said liberties guaranteed by the Constitution.
Jesus said the truth shall make you free and if the Son makes us free we shall be free, indeed (verse 36).
Free. That does not mean we shall always have liberty. No faithful people of God down through history always had liberty. The martyrs of Rome were free to believe in Christ. Caesar could not stop them but, they did not always have liberty to act out those freedoms in a guaranteed rule of law. They suffered cruel and horrifying deaths for their faith. The same for the martyrs during the Catholic Inquisitions and persecutions. The same during the reign of terror of Napoleon and to our time. God's people have been and always will be persecuted by an unbelieving majority if there are no laws protecting them.
America has had guaranteed liberties for over 200 hundred years. We have seen this event remove those liberties. Truth is being denounced at every turn. The elitist cabal has more money and power than humans have ever had in all history. That power is nothing, it is less than air in the presence and power of God.
Truth shall never be stopped until it has done its work on Earth. Regardless of 99 99/100% rejection of it, the truth shall always make a people free from sin, free from fear, free from sophistry and lies for those who trust in God's truth to guide and direct them.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

432. DEMOCIDE - November 25, 2021
Everybody knows what Genocide is, the killing, the destruction of a particular class - Jews, Negroid, Caucasoid, Women, Christians, etc. Genos, means birth or kind. The killing of a particular kind of humanity, or culture group, religious group, etc. Genocide has taken place, and is still taking place today, in some parts of the world.
Democide, though, is slightly different, by definition, which makes it enormously different in results.
"Democide is a concept proposed by U.S. political scientist Rudolph Rummel to describe "the intentional killing of an unarmed or disarmed person by government agents acting in their authoritative capacity and pursuant to government policy or high command." According to Rummel, this definition covers a wide range of deaths, including forced labor and concentration camp victims; killings by unofficial private groups; extrajudicial summary killings; and mass deaths due to governmental acts of criminal omission and neglect such as in deliberate famines as well as killings by de facto governments, i.e. civil war killings. This definition covers any murder of any number of persons by any government."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democide
democide:
The murder of any person or people by a government, including genocide, politicide and mass murder.
https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/democide
Democide is happening, right now, and has been since December of last year, with the release of the Pharma, animal killer, non-human tested, untried, emergency authorization use, responsibility-free, accountability-free, preplanned and executed plan to genetically weaken and modify all humanity through the technology found in the mRNA injections, which they can change and modify at will as time passes, for "greater efficacy."
Democide. The Unvaxxed. That would be genocide now, because the more people learn, the more they will resist injection so, if the last remedy is physically rounding them up and injecting them, that's genocide. Once all humanity is injected, DEMOCIDE. The indiscriminate killing of people by government.
Thankfully, as information gets out, the forces employed to round people up will learn they are going to eventually get sick and/or die because of lies told to them and their cooperation will dry up. That leaves the cabal with a couple billion people to deal with. What can they do?
Well, Bill Gates has already told us. He mentioned the possible terrorist use of a bioweapon in smallpox form, and the world needs people to oversee such a possibility. The United States government has purchased 1.3 million dollars of smallpox vaccine; an illness supposedly wiped out a generation ago but, no, vials of smallpox were found in a Pennsylvania Merck lab, supposedly incidentally discovered by a lab worker cleaning out a freezer. Main stream news have all covered it. FBI investigation, frankly, is not worth a first grader looking into it at this point in FBI history. Meaning no offense to sincere and devoted FBI agents with distinguished careers but, recent events tell Americans those at the head of the agency are not patriots and are not to be trusted to fulfill their oaths. To the contrary.
So, while Pharma can change the concoctions to make sure everybody succumbs to its effects, hey, let's pull a false flag and blame some patriot group for unleashing smallpox on the world. Then everybody will get the "vaccine," which will finish off what the mRNA has not yet done or will do, according to the cabal's calculations.
Stories are everywhere now of athletes dropping dead on playing fields all over the world. ANY question asked about vaccines taken can get your live broadcast snipped. In one 24 period, 12 babies were still born in one hospital. Young kids are not just getting sick but DYING from heart failure, Myocarditis, and the main stream news refuses to cover it all. They will cover smallpox vials discovered but, NOT WHAT THE INJECTIONS ARE DOING TO MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WORLD-WIDE.
Conspiracy, anyone? No theories here. Vaccinated nations are showing worse cases than unvaccinated nations. Two plus two, anyone?
An interview with Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, one of the first to speak out about the event, with Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, on Brighteon.com
https://www.brighteon.com/7d55613e-a983-4b52-b884-23d423771900
As I have stated before in previous posts, I am a Historicist when it comes to Bible prophecy so, some comments made at the end of that interview I would not subscribe to but, the medical information is acutely necessary.
I want to be so done with this. I want the world to rise up and say, ENOUGH!!! DONE!!! Get out of our faces or face permanent backlash! But, every single day seems to bring new facets of what is happening. The evil, the wickedness, the Devil's control has become so overt, yet with all the information available, what in the hell is wrong with people to get injected with these satanic serums? It's absolutely astounding. Billions of people are going to die sooner or later, from the, now shown adverse 40 effects the technological fluids can cause in the human system.
Watch the interview. Mike Adams can hardly speak at some points, it is so mind-numbing what these inhuman beasts are doing. May God strike them down. Seriously, my compassion for any hope of change and repentance for these people is gone.

AUSTRALIA - GENOCIDE
I already posted an Australian plea for help back in #418. Watching the video just shocks and breaks the heart how anything so mad and insane could be happening in a stated "free nation."
Recently an MP took a stand and called out for civil disobedience. Calls from the gallery tried to shout him down but, he pressed the issue and made his point. Where are all the voices of freemen in Australia? The majority of the people seem satisfied their government is working for them. Or, they are now afraid to stand up and face the consequences. Freedom and liberty always have consequences. Always.
Now, the Aboriginals are calling for help as they are literally being forced out of their homes, and coerced under great pressures to take the injections or be removed from their lands. Some are being forcefully injected. They are convinced genocide is taking place and will get steadily worse without international intervention. The entire continent is beginning the slide into democide, with the "unvaxxed" being the target now, but the entire population of every continent is the target.
How many thousands of medical voices must speak out before the other side of this demonic coin is seen?
Stew Peters lays out a call and challenge to all people of influence to use their platforms to bring attention to this. It should happen but, I doubt it will because the very people who have the money and platforms to help have already sided against the "unvaccinated" in this nation.
Watch the plea from the spokesperson for the various aboriginal tribes and realize this is not about a virus or the health of nations.

This is decidedly the outworking of a plan to take over planet Earth and reduce it to slavery, servitude and compliance to the evil dictation of a world elite. "We will own nothing and be happy."

433. Things to Consider - November 27, 2021
I go about making some new experimental drums and all the processes necessary, my mind is never far from the elements of the end of time.
Keep some things in mind as time moves forward, concerning last day events.
The wicked always blame the righteous for their problems. They never take the blame for their own actions.
Elijah got blamed for drought by king Ahab.
Jesus was blamed for lack of crowd control.
The disciples were blamed for the same, especially the lack of interest in the religion of the Sanhedrin being replaced by the Gospel, and Paul was blamed for starting riots.
Nero blamed Christians for the burning of Rome.
Other examples exist and always will. Today, the unvaxxed are being blamed. That's an obvious one. The time will come when Sabbath keepers will be blamed for world problems. The seven last plagues, the worst scourges the world has ever seen, will be blamed on Sabbath keeping Christians who are just following the practice and teaching of Christ and cannot be shown otherwise from a Thus saith the Lord.
Common sense would say, if Sabbath keepers are against God and truth, He would judge them, not the rest of the world keeping Sunday, in the big miracle working revival coming. Which, more logic being used, people should wonder what happened to it when the close of human probation takes place and the final judgments begin to fall. Remember, the ten plagues in Egypt? The first three fell on everybody. The last seven, only on the Egyptians who took their stand against Jehovah. Yet Pharaoh blamed Moses and the Hebrews, when it was his obstinacy that caused God's judgments to fall.
Buying and selling issues. That's a big one. How can anybody or any group control buying and selling for the whole world? #1, technology. Everything has been moving towards digital money for decades. Social scores are coming, like already exist in China. Play along, you can do pretty much everything. Resist and your name and face and personal history goes into a directory any Chinese person can see, in some cases, on billboards! Get on the list and if your social score is low enough, nobody will buy from you or sell to you. You become a social Leper, a community pariah.
The same will come for God's people and the issue will not be a vaccine, or any health matter, or any tattoo or whatever. The issue in both Daniel and Revelation is God's law versus man's law. Sabbath keepers will become religious outcasts. Rage will especially be fumed at them when the truth of God's word has its affect on multitudes who take stands for Christ and His Sabbath. Almost superhuman efforts will be put forth to stop them and their message, God's message.
It was only a year ago that restaurants refused to serve Trump supporters. People are being led down the path Satan designs, and at some point, seventh-day Sabbath keepers shall receive the ire and vitriol of a world populace who sees them as in the way of peace, safety and prosperity.
People question the possibility that Sunday can become such a world issue. Right now, Sunday is just a day, no different than any other. People may go to church in the morning, then go do whatever they want until Monday sets in. The Catholic Church does not condone that. Violating Sunday sacredness is a mortal sin in their system. And many other churches would like to see Sunday shut down from normal activities. The economy of America and other nations uses Sunday for production and buying and selling. Making money seven days a week is part and parcel of life for many. How can Sunday possibly return to the once "Blue Law" status it had in this nation?
For one, catastrophe. Let's say Yellowstone blows. The volcanic power of the Caldera would shock the world. American states would be under ash. Air quality for three quarters of America would be compromised. A catastrophe of such prominence would, of necessity, require a shutdown of energy use. The logical conclusion, just like the supposed "oil crisis" of the 70s, shut down the gas stations on Sunday. Shut down businesses. Conserve energy.
Have you forgotten how the "climate change" radicals loved the way lockdowns kept auto exhaust of the atmosphere?
Sunday laws will require a need, an emergency, and know the Satan has plenty to put forward for that need. Any number of man-made, natural disasters or events could signal a need to shut down Sunday to conserve energy, to bring families back together, to promote church attendance, etc., etc.
Back all that up with a false, miracle-working revival and things will fall into place just as the Bible predicts.
I will again mention the role of Hollywood in cultural affairs. The effort to promote life beyond Earth, visiting this world, remains a major subject well beyond movies and television now. While I believe in life beyond this world; biblically, spiritually, or scientifically there is no reason for anybody from a peaceful, harmonious universe overseen by the Creator, needing to come and check out this mess we call Earth.
I do believe everything being thrown at humanity in the guise of ET and UFOs, etc., is all in Satan's plan for an "angel of light" demonstration of power and wonders to deceive the world. All we can do is watch for it.
Questions people often ask.
How can you call the Roman Catholic Church the Beast and antichrist when there are millions of good people in it and does so much good in the world?
First mistake, no one is good. Christ said so.
Mat 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
Mat 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Humans measure goodness by other humans. Goodness should be measured by placing ourselves in front of the Lord. No one is good by that standard. All have sinned and come short of the glory [character] of God.
I know what the questioners mean, judging goodness against a human standard. The issue is not people, though. The issue is never people. The issue is truth, doctrinal truth, life saving truth versus error. There must be an arbiter, a source for distinguishing truth. The RCC claims it is that arbiter and decides what truth is and declares it so. The other side states the Bible is truth, that is the measure and standard. If the Bible is the standard, the Papacy and the Roman Church are an apostate organization, regardless of its membership. It is antichrist; it has put itself "in place of Christ." God says to come out of her and stand on the truth.
The pope, any pope, might be a nice dinner guest but, that is not the matter the Bible addresses. The Bible states so clearly that salvation is not through an organization. It is not through men, alive or especially dead ones. It is not through rituals. It is not through "traditions." It is through a personal connection an individual makes to their Creator and Saviour. A recognized, acknowledged spiritual need; repentance and request for forgiveness from past sins; and choice to follow Christ in the present and future life, however long that may be in this earthly sojourn; and ultimately belief, trust, faith that eternal life exists and shall be granted in the day of resurrection or translation when Christ returns.
Living that life is between the believer and Christ without human intervention that requires allegiance to. Fellowship is part of the Christian experience. Its benefits are there. Its requirement for salvation? No. Not as far as the Bible states the plan of salvation.
The body of believers ascribing to the truth have the task to get the message out to as many as they can. Organized efforts to do that have taken place for 2000 years. Small groups may organize home churches, rent buildings, or own property and buildings but, all of that is a vehicle for evangelism and fellowship, not salvation.
There are no popes, cardinals, archbishops, bishops, priests, fathers, mothers, nuns, masses, rituals, and all the rest that makes up Romanism, in the Bible. Whatever churches still practicing her doctrines and traditions to one degree or another, is on them: their leadership that has put it all in place. Everything from the more liturgical churches, like Anglicans/Episcopal, to Lutherans, to Methodists, to Baptists, to other organized bodies all have traditions they believe, that originally came from "Mother" Rome.
Every individual must decide for themselves who, what, when, where, why and how salvation from the penalty and power of sin is addressed and is attained. Rome stands "in the place of Christ" and makes it all a man-made complication, a religious business, with innumerable levels and groups, committees and offices in a gargantuan organization foreign to the history of God's people and religion seen in Scripture. It claims to be the same and offers its biblical examples but, when such matters are studied through, subject by subject, their house crumbles to uselessness. For 2000 years there have been bodies of believers standing against the apostasy of the Church of Rome for very succinct reasons of her apostasy from truth.
Much of this becomes more startling because Protestants stopped protesting and the issues are not as acute as they once were for many centuries. Rome has not changed her doctrines, her traditions, her practices, nor her aims. She has only changed her approach to those ends.
God's religion is not a popularity contest, not a power trip, not a business regarding money, property, holdings, and all the rest that makes up Wall Street.
James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
How can that principle be applied to an organization that is an actual nation, with international headquarters, with a king, a ruler, that sits on thrones, that men swear allegiance to, when Christ said, My kingdom is not of this world?
The sincere Roman Catholic reading this may be offended and upset. I have seen it often enough. Being upset at truth does not make it error. Propping up error with an international organization does not make it truth.
The Catholic church likes to tell Protestants there is no verse or verses of Scripture that state the Bible and the Bible alone is the only rule of faith, practice and discipline for believers.
2Tim 3:15 And because from thy infancy thou hast known the holy scriptures which can instruct thee to salvation by the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
2Tim 3:16 All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice:
2Tim 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work.
That is quoted from the Douay Version of the Bible, the Roman Catholic version. What does the passage plainly state?
The Scriptures instruct of salvation by faith in Christ. All Scripture is inspired of God, not men, and connection to the Word of God can make someone "perfect," complete, finished, furnished or supplied with everything a person needs to live in every good work known from the Book. The Scriptures supply it all. The Scriptures should be the focus.
Romanism stands between that simplicity and the believer as a requirement to be added on. No. Christian perfection of character is a connection to Christ with nothing between the believer and their Creator and Saviour, Jesus Christ. It is a spiritual process, not a physical one of religious rituals.
The Jews made that crucial mistake. They had the sanctuary services. Going through the physical round of ceremonial laws is what they concluded brought them salvation, when they missed what the entire system was instructing them in - receival and acceptance of a Messiah to come, Whom they ended up crucifying and rejecting, until the spiritual reality of it all was opened up to them by the preaching of Christ's disciples.
It is no different for the Roman Catholic who trusts the system for salvation and finds out that is not God's plan. It is no different for the professed Protestant believer who, when asked if they have salvation answers, "Yes, I go to church every week." Salvation is not walking into a building and attending worship services. It is not connection to an organization. It is a living, personal connection to a living Saviour that makes you a spiritual member of the body of Christ where He is the Head, period, and through the influence and work of the Holy Spirit, submits His counsels and directions to His people, through various spiritual gifts. Being a pope is not one of them. Baptizing babies is not one of them. Praying to saints is not one of them. Rosary beads and penance is not one of them. Trying to stay out of "Purgatory" and "Hell" through good works is not one of them. Focus is to be on Christ, alone, and His way, truth, and life, and His faith imparted to the believer, is the plan of salvation.
Am I saying "works" are not important? Of course not.
Plants produce flowers and fruit because that is their created nature.
Eph 2:8 For by grace you are saved through faith: and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God.
Eph 2:9 Not of works, that no man may glory.
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus in [for] good works, which God hath prepared that we should walk in them.
That is from the Douay Version, as well. Grace through faith saves a person. The are spiritually created, born again, for good works. Romanism is a cart before the horse. Believers do not do good works to be saved. They do them because they are connected to Christ and live in His will. It may seem a slight difference but, the difference derails millions and millions of people trying to work their way into Heaven performing rituals and deeds that are worthless to offer Christ to save us.
I have done seminar meetings using only a Catholic Bible and people sat astonished that Protestant positions are seen in Catholic Bibles. God has left no excuses for ignorance.
Something that is not just a slight difference would be this:
Gen 3:15 I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.
That is the Douay version of Genesis 3:15, the first promise in the Bible. Notice a crucial difference with other translations:
Gen 3:15 and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
In the Catholic Church, Mary is considered Co-Redemptrix with Christ. A co-redeemer. Catholics pray to her, rather than Christ, and are taught she will go to Jesus and offer up their petitions to Him and certainly He will not turn down His mother's pleas. Trust is in Mary. That is just another antichrist - in place of Christ. Mary, hundreds of "saints," popes, priests, confessionals... it is all in place of Christ. Christ crushes the head of the serpent (Satan), with His life, sacrifice, and return, not Mary. Yet throughout the Catholic world, images and paintings can be seen of Mary standing on the serpent. The claim is made Mary was assumed, caught up into Heaven, and made the Queen of Heaven. The Bible is silent on such an event and position. The only place the Queen of Heaven is mentioned is regarding Babylon:
Jer 7:16 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me; for I will not hear thee.
Jer 7:17 Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Jer 7:18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
Jer 7:19 Do they provoke me to anger? saith Jehovah; do they not provoke themselves, to the confusion of their own faces?
The 44th chapter has an entire rebuttal of the people to God; that they will keep making offerings to the queen of heaven so things will go well for them. Apostasy: which brought down the judgment of God upon Jerusalem with the destruction that came from the Babylonian armies.
From Babylon to ancient Rome, pagan religions had queens of heaven and also "madonnas;" the worship of the mother and child. Such worship can be seen in pagan religions all throughout the world. The worship of the child in Catholicism is a standard that has existed for ages. There is no child. Christ grew up to become a man, the Son of man. Where did worship, veneration of Mary as mother, and Christ as child come from? Paganism. Borrowed, adapted, modified, like so many other doctrines and traditions of Romanism, to make it easier for pagans to join the ancient faith. But, it was not "the faith once delivered unto the saints," as stated in Jude 1:3. It was an apostate faith.
In Rev. 12, Rome teaches the woman is Mary, when an obvious reading of the whole chapter shows the woman is a symbol for Christ's church down through history.
Dozens and dozens of such differences exist between what the Bible states and what the Catholic Church teaches.
How did all this confusion begin? The subject of ancient and prophetic Babylon answers that question.
I'll address that next time.
Keep some things in mind as time moves forward, concerning last day events.
The wicked always blame the righteous for their problems. They never take the blame for their own actions.
Elijah got blamed for drought by king Ahab.
Jesus was blamed for lack of crowd control.

For one, catastrophe. Let's say Yellowstone blows. The volcanic power of the Caldera would shock the world. American states would be under ash. Air quality for three quarters of America would be compromised. A catastrophe of such prominence would, of necessity, require a shutdown of energy use. The logical conclusion, just like the supposed "oil crisis" of the 70s, shut down the gas stations on Sunday. Shut down businesses. Conserve energy.
Have you forgotten how the "climate change" radicals loved the way lockdowns kept auto exhaust of the atmosphere?
Sunday laws will require a need, an emergency, and know the Satan has plenty to put forward for that need. Any number of man-made, natural disasters or events could signal a need to shut down Sunday to conserve energy, to bring families back together, to promote church attendance, etc., etc.
Back all that up with a false, miracle-working revival and things will fall into place just as the Bible predicts.
I will again mention the role of Hollywood in cultural affairs. The effort to promote life beyond Earth, visiting this world, remains a major subject well beyond movies and television now. While I believe in life beyond this world; biblically, spiritually, or scientifically there is no reason for anybody from a peaceful, harmonious universe overseen by the Creator, needing to come and check out this mess we call Earth.
I do believe everything being thrown at humanity in the guise of ET and UFOs, etc., is all in Satan's plan for an "angel of light" demonstration of power and wonders to deceive the world. All we can do is watch for it.
Questions people often ask.
How can you call the Roman Catholic Church the Beast and antichrist when there are millions of good people in it and does so much good in the world?
First mistake, no one is good. Christ said so.
Mat 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
Mat 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Humans measure goodness by other humans. Goodness should be measured by placing ourselves in front of the Lord. No one is good by that standard. All have sinned and come short of the glory [character] of God.
I know what the questioners mean, judging goodness against a human standard. The issue is not people, though. The issue is never people. The issue is truth, doctrinal truth, life saving truth versus error. There must be an arbiter, a source for distinguishing truth. The RCC claims it is that arbiter and decides what truth is and declares it so. The other side states the Bible is truth, that is the measure and standard. If the Bible is the standard, the Papacy and the Roman Church are an apostate organization, regardless of its membership. It is antichrist; it has put itself "in place of Christ." God says to come out of her and stand on the truth.
The pope, any pope, might be a nice dinner guest but, that is not the matter the Bible addresses. The Bible states so clearly that salvation is not through an organization. It is not through men, alive or especially dead ones. It is not through rituals. It is not through "traditions." It is through a personal connection an individual makes to their Creator and Saviour. A recognized, acknowledged spiritual need; repentance and request for forgiveness from past sins; and choice to follow Christ in the present and future life, however long that may be in this earthly sojourn; and ultimately belief, trust, faith that eternal life exists and shall be granted in the day of resurrection or translation when Christ returns.
Living that life is between the believer and Christ without human intervention that requires allegiance to. Fellowship is part of the Christian experience. Its benefits are there. Its requirement for salvation? No. Not as far as the Bible states the plan of salvation.
The body of believers ascribing to the truth have the task to get the message out to as many as they can. Organized efforts to do that have taken place for 2000 years. Small groups may organize home churches, rent buildings, or own property and buildings but, all of that is a vehicle for evangelism and fellowship, not salvation.
There are no popes, cardinals, archbishops, bishops, priests, fathers, mothers, nuns, masses, rituals, and all the rest that makes up Romanism, in the Bible. Whatever churches still practicing her doctrines and traditions to one degree or another, is on them: their leadership that has put it all in place. Everything from the more liturgical churches, like Anglicans/Episcopal, to Lutherans, to Methodists, to Baptists, to other organized bodies all have traditions they believe, that originally came from "Mother" Rome.
Every individual must decide for themselves who, what, when, where, why and how salvation from the penalty and power of sin is addressed and is attained. Rome stands "in the place of Christ" and makes it all a man-made complication, a religious business, with innumerable levels and groups, committees and offices in a gargantuan organization foreign to the history of God's people and religion seen in Scripture. It claims to be the same and offers its biblical examples but, when such matters are studied through, subject by subject, their house crumbles to uselessness. For 2000 years there have been bodies of believers standing against the apostasy of the Church of Rome for very succinct reasons of her apostasy from truth.
Much of this becomes more startling because Protestants stopped protesting and the issues are not as acute as they once were for many centuries. Rome has not changed her doctrines, her traditions, her practices, nor her aims. She has only changed her approach to those ends.
God's religion is not a popularity contest, not a power trip, not a business regarding money, property, holdings, and all the rest that makes up Wall Street.
James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
How can that principle be applied to an organization that is an actual nation, with international headquarters, with a king, a ruler, that sits on thrones, that men swear allegiance to, when Christ said, My kingdom is not of this world?
The sincere Roman Catholic reading this may be offended and upset. I have seen it often enough. Being upset at truth does not make it error. Propping up error with an international organization does not make it truth.
The Catholic church likes to tell Protestants there is no verse or verses of Scripture that state the Bible and the Bible alone is the only rule of faith, practice and discipline for believers.
2Tim 3:15 And because from thy infancy thou hast known the holy scriptures which can instruct thee to salvation by the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
2Tim 3:16 All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice:
2Tim 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work.
That is quoted from the Douay Version of the Bible, the Roman Catholic version. What does the passage plainly state?
The Scriptures instruct of salvation by faith in Christ. All Scripture is inspired of God, not men, and connection to the Word of God can make someone "perfect," complete, finished, furnished or supplied with everything a person needs to live in every good work known from the Book. The Scriptures supply it all. The Scriptures should be the focus.
Romanism stands between that simplicity and the believer as a requirement to be added on. No. Christian perfection of character is a connection to Christ with nothing between the believer and their Creator and Saviour, Jesus Christ. It is a spiritual process, not a physical one of religious rituals.
The Jews made that crucial mistake. They had the sanctuary services. Going through the physical round of ceremonial laws is what they concluded brought them salvation, when they missed what the entire system was instructing them in - receival and acceptance of a Messiah to come, Whom they ended up crucifying and rejecting, until the spiritual reality of it all was opened up to them by the preaching of Christ's disciples.
It is no different for the Roman Catholic who trusts the system for salvation and finds out that is not God's plan. It is no different for the professed Protestant believer who, when asked if they have salvation answers, "Yes, I go to church every week." Salvation is not walking into a building and attending worship services. It is not connection to an organization. It is a living, personal connection to a living Saviour that makes you a spiritual member of the body of Christ where He is the Head, period, and through the influence and work of the Holy Spirit, submits His counsels and directions to His people, through various spiritual gifts. Being a pope is not one of them. Baptizing babies is not one of them. Praying to saints is not one of them. Rosary beads and penance is not one of them. Trying to stay out of "Purgatory" and "Hell" through good works is not one of them. Focus is to be on Christ, alone, and His way, truth, and life, and His faith imparted to the believer, is the plan of salvation.
Am I saying "works" are not important? Of course not.
Plants produce flowers and fruit because that is their created nature.
Eph 2:8 For by grace you are saved through faith: and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God.
Eph 2:9 Not of works, that no man may glory.
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus in [for] good works, which God hath prepared that we should walk in them.
That is from the Douay Version, as well. Grace through faith saves a person. The are spiritually created, born again, for good works. Romanism is a cart before the horse. Believers do not do good works to be saved. They do them because they are connected to Christ and live in His will. It may seem a slight difference but, the difference derails millions and millions of people trying to work their way into Heaven performing rituals and deeds that are worthless to offer Christ to save us.
I have done seminar meetings using only a Catholic Bible and people sat astonished that Protestant positions are seen in Catholic Bibles. God has left no excuses for ignorance.
Something that is not just a slight difference would be this:
Gen 3:15 I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.
That is the Douay version of Genesis 3:15, the first promise in the Bible. Notice a crucial difference with other translations:
Gen 3:15 and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
In the Catholic Church, Mary is considered Co-Redemptrix with Christ. A co-redeemer. Catholics pray to her, rather than Christ, and are taught she will go to Jesus and offer up their petitions to Him and certainly He will not turn down His mother's pleas. Trust is in Mary. That is just another antichrist - in place of Christ. Mary, hundreds of "saints," popes, priests, confessionals... it is all in place of Christ. Christ crushes the head of the serpent (Satan), with His life, sacrifice, and return, not Mary. Yet throughout the Catholic world, images and paintings can be seen of Mary standing on the serpent. The claim is made Mary was assumed, caught up into Heaven, and made the Queen of Heaven. The Bible is silent on such an event and position. The only place the Queen of Heaven is mentioned is regarding Babylon:
Jer 7:16 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me; for I will not hear thee.
Jer 7:17 Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Jer 7:18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
Jer 7:19 Do they provoke me to anger? saith Jehovah; do they not provoke themselves, to the confusion of their own faces?
The 44th chapter has an entire rebuttal of the people to God; that they will keep making offerings to the queen of heaven so things will go well for them. Apostasy: which brought down the judgment of God upon Jerusalem with the destruction that came from the Babylonian armies.
From Babylon to ancient Rome, pagan religions had queens of heaven and also "madonnas;" the worship of the mother and child. Such worship can be seen in pagan religions all throughout the world. The worship of the child in Catholicism is a standard that has existed for ages. There is no child. Christ grew up to become a man, the Son of man. Where did worship, veneration of Mary as mother, and Christ as child come from? Paganism. Borrowed, adapted, modified, like so many other doctrines and traditions of Romanism, to make it easier for pagans to join the ancient faith. But, it was not "the faith once delivered unto the saints," as stated in Jude 1:3. It was an apostate faith.
In Rev. 12, Rome teaches the woman is Mary, when an obvious reading of the whole chapter shows the woman is a symbol for Christ's church down through history.
Dozens and dozens of such differences exist between what the Bible states and what the Catholic Church teaches.
How did all this confusion begin? The subject of ancient and prophetic Babylon answers that question.
I'll address that next time.
*****************************
434. Lee Strobel - Life After Death?
If you do not know who Lee Strobel is, I'll let you look him up. He was an atheist, then became a Christian, is an author, and speaker on the subjects of Christ and Christianity from historical, literal perspectives. His new book addresses a very serious and important subject - life after death. He almost died and went about researching the subject of death and people leaving their bodies at death, etc. He claims over 900 cases of such experiences have been studied and documented and written about in peer reviewed literature.
I have already posted things about the subject of death, the spirit, the soul, "hell," etc.
How about a quick recap?
You are born, you live, you breathe your last and die, you go back to the earth humanity was created from, a resurrection from death awaits for the righteous and the wicked, 1000 years apart.
The "spirit," biblically speaking, literally, is a movement of air, breath, wind, and metaphorically is used for the intelligent nature of humans.
The "soul" literally means "life" in the original words of Hebrew and Greek, biblical manuscripts were written in. Souls simply means people.
Metaphorically it is used to express the emotional nature of humans and animals. Note: animals are never called spirits in the Bible but, they do have "souls." That is not to say animals don't have brains or think. They are not held spiritually or eternally accountable or responsible for their thoughts, as humans are. But animals obviously have emotions, pretty much the same as humans, though not as deep, because humans operate on deeper levels of thought. We all know animals are happy, contented, angry, afraid, they grieve, they mope, they experience joy, etc. Nobody expects an animal to design a house or skyscraper as humans do. Humans have the higher intellect by creation and design.
Soul and spirit are not used in the Bible to refer to some kind of entity that gets out of the body at death. That is not Hebrew theology, that is Greek philosophy. Plato, to be exact, though others toyed with the topic before him. He popularized the notion. The body is troublesome, evil, bad news and when we die, the "soul" gets out of its prison and goes to paradise to live in eternal bliss, or whatever else the Greek mind could think up.
The Hebrew concept of life is that a human is a physical being, an intellectual being, and an emotional being. All three are to be influenced by the spiritual, made spiritual. Intellect and emotions now, physical when eternity grants immortality. Until then the body may suffer and cease to exist: death. And death means death, not the body dies and a ghost goes to heaven or hell.
The issue is what happens when a person dies?
Biblically, the breath of life goes back to God, who gave it to Adam, and the body goes back to the dirt it was made from. No ghost-like entity goes to Heaven or "hell." That is a foreign concept to the Bible's statements about life and death. You shake your head and say, "Whoah. Not so."
All anyone needs is Genesis to get the foundation, and everything from that point on is in harmony with what Genesis states.
Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Dust/ground + breath of life = living soul, a breathing creature.
aphar adamah, neshamah chay = chay nephesh.
No ghosts, no "spirits," no "souls" meaning ghosts or invisible entities floating around. Physical body, physical breath, physical life.
That is the consistent makeup of a human being throughout Scripture, unadulterated by Greek philosophy. Anything having to do with "spirits" as ghostlike entities, is condemned by God, because it is a foul and erroneous, dangerous concept which opens doors to Satanic deceptions.
Believers are to be sanctified spirit, soul and body. Our minds, our emotions our physical bodies, the totality of life as humans, are to be sanctified, set apart for holy use by God.
If you study the Bible from that basic foundation begun in Genesis with the creation of man, any other portion of Scripture that seems to speak for the Greek philosophical view of man will be seen as a misunderstanding of the passage or a commentary on the futility of the philosophy. Here's a good example of the triad of humanity -
Mary visits Elisabeth, both are pregnant: Elisabeth with John the Baptist, and Mary with the Messiah. Mary greeted her, the baby jumped inside Elisabeth and she, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, proclaimed Mary to be blessed among women. Then Mary stated:
Luke 1:46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
Luke 1:47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Luke 1:48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Emotionally, she was enlarged in heart by the presence of the Lord.
Mentally, she seemed to explode with wonder at what happened to her; to be pregnant, having never "known" a man, and she was carrying inside her the very Hope of Israel and the world.
Physically, her life was one of low estate and humble domain among mankind and God was exalting her beyond any woman in human history, then or since.
Mary was not exclaiming some entities inside her were all excited. That's ridiculous. She was a living, breathing human being that came from and lived in lower, humble tiers of society. She: her mind, her thoughts and feelings, expressed her joy and wonder of it all.
Strobel's new book claims to offer scientific evidence of life after death, which is clinical death, as medical science understands life and death. A blind person "dies" and leaves their body and "sees" things, comes back into their body, comes back to "life" and describes what they "saw," still blind. Strobel's conclusion, a soul, a spirit gets out at death. GREEK PHILOSOPHY.
I have not read Strobel's book. What I always find incredible is the usual lack of expected Satanic interference in such affairs. The Bible lays the foundation, the walls and the roof of truth. Whatever is not in harmony with those aspects of the building are not to be accepted for they will weaken the structure.
Take the blind person's death and experience. Are Christian's so blinded themselves that they do not believe Lucifer can interfere with such experiences? He cannot interfere with machinery seeming to indicate a patient is "dead?" He cannot interfere with the mind of the patient and put thoughts, detailed thoughts into it? Why not? People who hear literal voices that cause them to do crazy things are recognized by believers to be influenced by demons. The Devil can and does get into our minds, and places thoughts in them, thoughts that can take on a visual context.
Many in fields of science discuss the nature of brain chemicals at "death," and what can happen to a person's "last" thoughts, which can seem to explode with ideas, colors, visual places and things, smells, feelings, sensations of touch and the like.
Just because a person "dies" clinically speaking, for a short period of time - minutes, generally - and sees things, and then comes back to life is absolutely no proof of anything but, an experience science may not be able to explain. That in no way removes the nature of supernatural deception.
If the Bible, alone, is the only rule of faith, practice, belief, and discipline for the Christian, then that is either so, or not so.
Right now, today, for years, creationists have debated those who claim Christian experience but, believe the world is millions of years old because "science" says so. The Bible does not say so. What do I believe? The Bible. God gets it right every time. Man's understanding, especially apart from God's influence, is a quagmire of constantly changing "facts."
How many people, when they "die" see a vision if light, a being of light, and they move through tunnels of light, ascending and walking into light of unexpected warmth and feelings?
"Angel of light," anyone?
Do you think the Devil is not involved in a plan, a plot, a deception to deceive the very elect?
The state of the dead, communicating with the dead, being advised, encouraged, educated by the dead has been a hallmark of Hollywood for almost a hundred years. The supernatural holds the attention of billions of people.
The final deceptions are about to be leveled at humanity and a false premise of death is going to be used to deceive the world.
Gen 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
There is the judgment placed upon Adam. Did God lie to him? Do you see a statement from the Creator that his body would go back to the ground but, an immortal, ghostlike entity inside him would go to heaven? Would you call that a judgment against Adam's sin? Seriously?
The first pair disobeyed God. The penalty was death. Adam dies at 930 years of age, and has been in his grave for 5,000 years and knows it not. When he awakes in the resurrection of the righteous, only a second will seem to have transpired. He knows no time. He knows no space. He has gone back to the ground he was made from. His thoughts stopped. His mind, emotions and body ceased upon his last breath, which went back to God who breathed it into him to give him life to begin with.
That is why death is called "sleep" in Scripture. "He died and slept with his fathers." "Lazarus sleeps." "Oh, okay, then Lazarus will be alright." "No, Lazarus is dead." Death is a called sleep because it is just a temporary state. When you sleep are you aware of anything around you? No. Some hours later you wake up and know nothing of what has transpired through the night. So it is with death.
There is no such thing as "soul sleep," as some call it. The soul is the life. The life does not sleep. While you sleep what is the ghost inside you doing? It's an eternal, immortal soul, they claim. It does not need sleep. Well, what is it doing for hours every night? Playing imaginary Canasta? Leaving your body every night to hang out with other "souls?" What if its out floating around and you wake up to go to the bathroom? What are you? Just a shell that has to relive fluids from itself? Think!
When humans die, the life ceases to exist. Adam is some molecules in the dirt. God shall pull the trillions of them together and a new, immortal, eternally youthful Adam shall emerge from the dirt again, and so shall all the hundreds of millions of believers who have died down through the ages, on resurrection morning.
As I said, I have not read Strobel's book. Based on an interview I heard on the radio, I say, Beware.
Lee Strobel has yet some studying to do on the subject of what life is, and is not, as it is delineated in the Bible. He currently seems to be under the influence of science, falsely so-called, and the teachings of Greek philosophy, which have perverted the simple testimony of Scripture, Genesis to Revelation.
He's a smart man. I reckon he'll figure it out at some point, hopefully.
Even so, Come, Lord Jesus.

God shall pull the trillions of them together and a new, immortal, eternally youthful Adam shall emerge from the dirt again, and so shall all the hundreds of millions of believers who have died down through the ages, on resurrection morning.
As I said, I have not read Strobel's book. Based on an interview I heard on the radio, I say, Beware.
Lee Strobel has yet some studying to do on the subject of what life is, and is not, as it is delineated in the Bible. He currently seems to be under the influence of science, falsely so-called, and the teachings of Greek philosophy, which have perverted the simple testimony of Scripture, Genesis to Revelation.
He's a smart man. I reckon he'll figure it out at some point, hopefully.
Even so, Come, Lord Jesus.

435. Omicron - November 28, 2021
In less than a week, I have seen the new South African variant, Omicron, go "viral," and start a panic. Fauci knows little to nothing about it, states scientists need to get together and discuss it, cannot state factually if the variant has been contained but, the fear and planned intentions on the part of Marxist Leftists went into gear instantly. NY is now in another state of emergency. Gov. Hochul doesn't even know if the variant exists in her state. More lockdowns. The same is taking place all over the Marxist/Leftist run world.
Calling it madness is meaningless at this point because the cabal does not care about health. None of this has been about citizen health from the beginning. As millions wake up to that and take to the streets of their respective nations, the only thing the cabal can do is use police force to keep their control.
Every virus goes through stages of mutation. Why have the msm and Fauci cabal not informed the public of this fact from the beginning?
You cannot inject away a virus, especially a man-made, manipulated virus. That's why flu shots are changed every season. Everybody knows this and yet, everything went from one shot to two and now "boosters" are everything.
Dr. Peter McCullough is out there warning the booster shots are far worse than the first injections. DO NOT TAKE THEM he says. Considering his position the world of medicine and cardiology, it's a warning worth considering.
It's now a revolving door situation. New mutations, new booster shots, round and round it goes. NONE of the shots work. None of them. They all wear off in as little and two months. Fauci, the CDC others now admit this. A monster was created. The American/Wuhan virus bioweapon was created to do a job and it failed to do that to the extent the planners intended. Each generation of the injections gets stronger, and each generation of humanity is now open to them WITH NO TESTING, NO RESEARCH, NOTHING BUT EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION. The virus stages will grow stronger, as humanity grows weaker.
Two things are now linked together. As parents learn of the dangers of masks and lockdowns and separation of children from friends and extended family; and they learn about the dark side of education with Critical Race Theory being pushed on their children, as well as the Transgender cabal's wishes to corrupt anything and anyone, any age with their miasma of corruption, parents are speaking out. They've had it. Police power is being used to shut them down at school board meetings.
What do you think is going to happen when their children begin having heart attacks and other organ failures because of the injections? A tipping point is coming. In some cases, like a recent school board meeting down near Austin, Texas, it has arrived. Schools are hiring private security and using them to remove parents who speak out, or attempt to in PUBLIC MEETINGS.
Two distinct sides now exist around the world. The elites and the lower classes. Covid has exposed it all. It does not matter anymore how the virus began. That horse is way out of the barn now. What exists now is the beginning of police state force to control the planet.
When Dr. David Martin exposed this event to really have its beginnings going back to 1985, it was a slap upside the head, eye-opener for me. Forces are at work to make things as confusing for humanity as possible, to keep things in a constant state of turmoil and upheaval. War, and the fallouts of war, disease and the fallouts of disease, pharmaceuticals and the fallouts from drugs and "medicines" which "do harm," technology and the fallout of it, all designed to be used to control humanity.
Lucifer has engineered it all, of course. That's the bottom line but, in the aid he has found in the human family, he has twisted and perverted every aspect of humanity into devils like himself.
We each MUST remember we do not wrestle against flesh and blood.
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
That was written 200 years ago. It held true before that time, since, and certainly now. Yes, I believe Anthony Fauci is a dangerous person, with harmful intent meant upon humanity. Klaus Schwab, George Soros, "the bloodline families," i.e. the Rothschild's, etc., Bill Gates, Zuckerberg and so many others but, they are all puppets of the master puppeteer. They exist in darkness and spiritual wickedness because they are following a master who has promised them control. They think they are in control. Lucifer is not in control, let alone these poor, demented, sorry souls who think wealth gives them power and control to run a planet.
Sure, my generosity of spirit has worn extremely thin to no longer existent against these monsters but, in the end they are foolish human beings like the rest of us. They shall meet their end like every tyrant in history.
The penny is moving faster now, down into the funnel. The world is coming to a head of rebellion, just like the lies of Lucifer brought it to a head in Heaven.
God is in control. Chaos can exist shore to shore here. Death has and will yet reign among the human race, as people succumb to the effects of the virus and its trumpeted remedy, which people are recognizing is not a remedy, at all. It's another tool to aid the virus to grow stronger as humans get weaker.
Omicron. Sounds like an enemy from some superhero movie. An actual, real, true superhero exists. Well, honestly, angels are superheroes, with capabilities far beyond humans but, the Commander of the Heavenly host is at the top of the superhero mountain, Jesus Christ. The Son of man is watching and waiting for a people to emerge; christlike in character, ready to make the final stand. When that number is reached, the four winds of strife held back by the angels in charge of it all, will let go, and strife is coming beyond human understanding and control. Lucifer and his host will be given more and more control over humanity to show the universe more and more of his character and how his demise must ultimately take place, and it will, in due time.
I'm not against "prepping." I am staunchly for a more important preparation, though, which is spiritual preparation. When this gig hits, sanity will be on the verge for all humanity. It will seem madness is in total control. Only spiritual strength will keep people going to the end. Many will meet death. There is no way around that. That need not bring fear. Death is but a temporary condition, like sleep. God is in control, and resurrection day awaits for all the faithful down through the ages.
Have you ever seen videos of soldiers returning home to reunite with loved ones? Gets me in the throat every time, and tears run down my cheeks.
The greatest reunion in human history is coming. No doubts, no misinformation, no lies. Christ IS COMING AGAIN.
We've got a ways to go, yet. I may fall asleep before the great event. I was sure the end would have come decades ago but, time has a way of moving along and years turn to decades and decades into a lifetime.
Hope is the great food from Heaven. Hope and truth. No one can take those away.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

436. Over and Over and Over Again - November 28, 2021
Why do some things have to be repeated over and over and over again?
For one, the U.S, public education system has a constant flow of new children that must be dumbed down, and kept away from aspects of American history and both sides or all sides of all issues. The NEA is now a thinktank for Marxism. Obviously, then, as children grow into adulthood they will have to be told, educated about truths they never had exposure to. Each new generation presents another round of this atrocity.
The United States of America is not a Democracy. A democracy is a rule of the majority. That is not the system of governance America uses, and the Founders made it this way because of the obvious and historical dangers of both a majority rule, or the rule of single individuals. Both can obliterate freedom and liberty. So they put in place a Constitutional Republic that employs some aspects of a democracy. The nation functions with the rule of law all citizens live under, none above. They are free to vote, an aspect of a democracy but, safeguards have been put in place to assure that majorities in any large, populated state can decide the outcome of national elections by sheer numbers. That is the function of the State Electors and the Electoral College.
Now, in one paragraph the nature of governance of the U.S.A. was laid down. How is it 99% of all politicians and news media refer to the USA as a Democracy? By design. By intentionally attempting to move the American populace away from its foundations and establishing a rule of the majority, which, by various machinations, like amnesty for illegal immigrants, elected civil servants are stealthily trying to pull off.
America must remain a Constitutional Republic or the outcome must and will be socialism, fascism and ultimately totalitarian Communism. It may go so far as single ruler authority, as China is close to now, with the lifelong appoint of Xi as its leader.
Then comes the next point, growing out of the previous paragraphs some might question the legitimacy of.
Tell me, exactly what is wrong with a conspiracy theory?
Every single crime with unknown criminals, motives, weapons, etc., all begin in a room of federal, state or local law enforcement agents - detectives detecting information as true or false - as theories, based on accumulated evidence. If more than one perpetrator gets into the mix, a conspiracy theory is on the table. More evidence nails it down or dissolves it.
Calling something a conspiracy theory has become the ultimate and final arbitration of red flag truth vs. error for people uneducated into the role of law enforcement. I mean, c'mon. Since the, what, 1950s, television programs featuring crime fighting have been placed before the American populace. Before that, radio crime fighters existed. Movies had the same, since the Keystone Cops. A whodunit IS A CONSPIRACY THEORY-based form of entertainment. Real life contains real conspiracies of real criminal activity. Nobody denies that. How can it be people trust elected civil servants and appointed civil servants so much they cannot possibly commit crimes against citizens? Where did such a notion come from? History stands against such a conclusion, in every land, on every continent.
Why do some people, tens of millions of people, need to constantly be reminded of this, especially when they watch conspiracy theories every, single week on TV and in movie theaters throughout the nation? It's unbelievable.
Calling tens of thousands of medical professionals "conspiracy theorists" because they are not receiving the shots, and speaking out against the entire Covid event, should logically cause people to ask, Why? Why would half a staff of hospital nurses walk away from their careers? Thousands of them now. Why would thousands of doctors risk their careers speaking out against the injections, on multiple levels, no less? These doctors and nurses are medical professionals, not reporters, not entertainers, not politicians. They know and understand illness and how to treat it from acute care protocols. Why did they begin to rise up and speak out in the Spring of 2020? Calling them conspiracy theorists, when they now have 18 months of evidence to back up their concerns, should be a tremendous cause of pause on this entire event.
This is not to mention the thousands of medical professionals in fields of mental health who have spoken out against lockdowns of healthy people in the same time frame, especially the harm to children.
How did Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates become the ipso-facto sovereigns of viral infections in the USA? Just saying Fauci is the head of the NIH... so what? No other voices are allowed? No other studied positions? Fauci constantly, constantly states "the science." Go against him and you are going against "the science." Has anybody counted the number of times he has said that in interviews? Since when does any branch of science function as science without varied opinions, conclusions, questions, and accumulated evidence from more than one party? Exactly what source of "science" is Fauci constantly referring to? Just studies within the NIH and NIAID?
Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, America, even Australian researchers, not under the influence and control of Fauci, before totalitarian force was employed there to shut everything and all dissension down, showed findings of at least very questionable, if not outright dangerous ingredients in the "vaccines."
Fauci has lied to Congress, more than once. Why is he walking around free? Is that not a logical question to ask? If I ask it, based on the evidence of Fauci's own testimony, weighed against documents from his own agencies, it is called a conspiracy theory. SO WHAT?!? If evidence exists, why is not being investigated by federal authorities? Because the evidence shows the FBI was involved in criminal activities against Trump, now against parents, and against Kyle Rittenhouse, etc., etc., etc. Not theories. FACT. There just doesn't seem to be enough evidence Congress can or is willing to go with as to who within the FBI is responsible. Levels and levels of people involved, all covering their asses and careers. That does not mean FBI agents did not commit and employ dirty deeds, if not criminal, federal criminal activity against America citizens, innocent of crimes. It just means nobody in D.C. has the guts to really pursue criminal prosecution against them.
Then the real elephant in the room is the 2020 election. So much evidence has been compiled by so many people, to call the election results a conspiracy theory tells me the people who say it are literally ignorant morons and/or paid agents of lies. At this point the majority of people on both sides know if this was about Republican fraud, it would be 24/7 news... endless news cycles of shouting conspiracy theories!!! We know that because they are still shouting Russian collusion conspiracy theories that their own forces have shown to be empty and pointless! Still, they promote it. Why? Because they are demented people, or pawns of demented people, or both.
This post was ignited by an article I read about Joe Rogan. I don't watch Joe Rogan. I have hardly any idea who the hundreds of guests have been on his podcast in the last... I think the article said, eleven years. The article tore him up.
Then I see an article against Kari Lake, the former journalist/ news reporter running for governor in Arizona, calling her a conspiracy theorist because she aims to get to the bottom of the 2020 election in her state. She is articulate, certainly determined, seems a true patriot conservative, and is obviously easy on the eyes, and to take her on as a conspiracy theorist seems a fool's errand because she is quite likely to get elected.
It really is unfortunate more than 1/3 of Americans are willing to trust such bogus and one-sided sources of information. Do I get news from main stream media? No. They lost me in the 90s, as untrustworthy. FOX was the holdout. No more. Untrustworthy, as well. That leaves NewsMax. Nope. Anti-Trumpers right from the start, now pushing their vax mandate, and as people watch Cortez and others say, 'Not happening,' and leaving the network, expect viewership to decline, as well, and cause NewsMax to fade into the sunset of corrupt news organizations.
I get my news from sources I believe have not lied to me yet, like Gateway Pundit, Red Voice Media, The Liberty Daily, Zero Hedge, News Target and their associated sites, NOQ Report, SGT Report, Revolver, Bad Blue, the National Pulse, InfoWars, and others. When I see something I find out is not true, based on the evidence, they get removed from my favorites list. Yes, I often see inflated headlines that run real close to click bait on some sites but, that does not prove their articles and news stories are inaccurate.
Once again, corruption is the answer. In times like these corruption is always the answer to why truth has to be repeated over and over and over again. Darkness does, indeed, cover the earth, and gross darkness the people.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

So, Here We Go: Conspiracy Theory???
From the Text box for a new video from Dr. Vernon Coleman:
Please watch and share this vital video. Thanks to the jab lovers for the thumbs down.
The journal quoted is "Circulation" Nov 8 2021 vol 144 issue suppl_1
The title of the article is "Abstract 10712 Mrna Covid Vaccine Dramatically Increases Endothelial Inflammatory Markers and ACS Risk as Measured by the PULS Cardiac Test: a Warning'
Please note this video has been suppressed (not by BNT) and the comments have been hacked. The source article is easy to find. But please make sure you find the right one.

Now, when you watch this 4 min. video, ask yourself where is the theory? It is based on the findings of a study in a very credible medical journal, and calls the study "a Warning." A warning of what? Injection caused heart disease. Heart attack by "vaccine." No theory. Conclusive data and truth. And obviously the study is just one of many with the same findings and conclusions.
Will everyone injected die of heart attacks? If someone stated 10% would die of heart attacks after taking two shots and a booster shot of the mRNA fluids, is that not enough to instantly STOP all injections everywhere around the world? Do the math. 10% of 4.25 billion people is 425,000,000 people! Who in their right mind would push such a possibility on the human race??? Nobody. Only people out of their minds would push such a risk.
You can call that my opinion. So be it. I'd call it common sense. Only wicked, evil people would push such a program on the human race, when statistics are there and have been since last year the vaccines are dangerous, in many cases far more dangerous than the virus.
Dr. Coleman has been compiling a list from news sources on side-effect cases. It's a long list but, only a tiny fraction of what is happening around the world:

Now, when you watch this 4 min. video, ask yourself where is the theory? It is based on the findings of a study in a very credible medical journal, and calls the study "a Warning." A warning of what? Injection caused heart disease. Heart attack by "vaccine." No theory. Conclusive data and truth. And obviously the study is just one of many with the same findings and conclusions.
Will everyone injected die of heart attacks? If someone stated 10% would die of heart attacks after taking two shots and a booster shot of the mRNA fluids, is that not enough to instantly STOP all injections everywhere around the world? Do the math. 10% of 4.25 billion people is 425,000,000 people! Who in their right mind would push such a possibility on the human race??? Nobody. Only people out of their minds would push such a risk.
You can call that my opinion. So be it. I'd call it common sense. Only wicked, evil people would push such a program on the human race, when statistics are there and have been since last year the vaccines are dangerous, in many cases far more dangerous than the virus.
Dr. Coleman has been compiling a list from news sources on side-effect cases. It's a long list but, only a tiny fraction of what is happening around the world:

437. Am I Saying...? - November 29, 2021
Mark Levin, the Conservative radio program host, has a thing he likes to say - "There. I said it!"
Love him or hate him, he says things others won't say, in his own inimitable way.
When you state strong things, controversial things, people's minds tend to implode and shrink back from accepting things that seem outrageous. "Wait. What?" There's the common reply.
Let me address some things you might think I have stated, which I have not, and you would know that, if you have read these blogs consistently but, for those just dropping in now and then and reading certain things that catch their eye...
In this year of our Lord, 2021, there are many professed Christians who believe Catholics are not "saved," or Protestants are not "saved," or all non-professing Christians are not "saved."
You might think I am saying Roman Catholics are not "saved," because of my Protestant position on the RCC in Bible prophecy.
First, as far as the Bible goes, no one is "saved," done deal. I have addressed that before but, the Bible places the process of the plan of salvation pretty succinctly. In various places and ways it states, we are saved, we are being saved, and we shall be saved. It's a process. Justification, Sanctification, Glorification. Forgiven, cleaned up, made immortal when Christ returns.
I am not a Calvinist. I do not believe the Bible teaches once a person connects with Christ, they cannot disconnect. I do not believe in Calvin's doctrine of eternal security. John Calvin was a strong Protestant of the 16th century. Many in the Christian faith see his writings as sacrosanct. Many do not.
A member of my extended family is a Calvinist. I challenged his beliefs, writing a short email that ended up being a 72 page treatise because there is so much information, pretty much found in every book of the New Testament, that stands against "Calvinism." His reply was to just let the issue sit. I know he cannot gainsay all that the Bible states on the subject. Still, even the person who takes the position of the Reformer John Wesley (founder of the Methodist church), on the subject, which is basically - once saved, always saved, as long as you stay saved - has to address everything the Bible states.
Practically speaking, God is judge, not us, and any Roman Catholic living up to the true light they have can be heaven bound. God judges according to what a man has, not according to what he doesn't. Three passages that speak volumes:
1Pet 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
1Pet 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
2Cor 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
2Cor 8:12 For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
Judgment, inspection of evidence against the charges, begins at the house of God, not those professing no faith or in a confused faith, as you and I see it. It begins with those professing to abide in truth. Does the life match the profession? The investigative judgment will determine that. As Christ said:
Matt 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
Matt 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
It actually gets more refined than that. Every thought, every word, every act shall be judged. It is all written down in God's record keeping, including every tear, every hurt, every pain, everything of our lives is written down so the entire picture can be truthfully weighed. The Bible states all of that. If we abide in Christ; repentant, forgiven, covered by the efficacy of His blood in his sacrifice for us, our sins are not there for the Adversary to use to condemn us. If we do not abide in Christ, then Satan has the goods to show we are not saved, we are just religious actors, hypocrites, and ultimately lost.
The end of it is that plenty of people in all professed faiths called Christendom, are not going to Heaven. That also means, based on God's method of judgment, if 99% of what a person believes is not truth but, 1% is, God will judge the direction of the life based on a person's adherence and faithfulness to that 1%. He's not trying to keep anyone out of Heaven. God wants everyone to be saved, 2Pet 3:9. That's His desire. It's our choice to accept the grace and invitation of the plan of salvation or reject it. God is looking for willing minds. Are people willing to know the truth? Do they have an open mind God can converse with, through various agents of His?
Now, again, many believe God does choose people to be saved or lost from eternity. An individual's choice means nothing. That's another aspect of Calvinism I flat out and absolutely reject, based on the full testimony of Scripture. I find that a gross attack on God's character worse than most others. Yes, God knows who will be saved and who will not. His foreknowledge is not His choice. Otherwise we have to believe God chose Lucifer to rebel and cause this whole mess to begin with. Nay.
I am certainly in no position, nor are you, to judge the little old woman who loves God and Christ as she understands Him, saying her rosary beads every day, constantly in a mode of prayer for herself, her loved ones, and this spiritually poverty stricken world. She may pray to "Mary," to all the Catholic "saints," and walk on her knees to all the stations of the cross in the Catholic traditions and God shall judge her as He knows her heart and mind. That is His business, not ours. The reverse is true, as well. The Roman Catholic who believes all Protestants are lost, simply because they are not Catholics (Outside the Church there is No Salvation, the Catholic Church is the Ark of Safety), is standing at the dock, as the boat of true salvation, based on what each individual has done with the true light they have, sails into port on the other side.
The same goes for those who have never heard of the plan of salvation down through the ages. God has His system of judgment. Christ is the light that shines on every man that comes into the world, John 1:9. Everybody has some kind of aspect of true light that shines on them, upon their conscience, and they shall be judged according to what they have, not according to what they don't have.
Regardless of organizations and doctrines from them, and how they are judged, individuals are judged as individuals.
Because of what prophecy states about America, about Romanism, about religious legislation and Sunday, am I saying that all people keeping Sunday are lost? Of course not. I do not know what they know about God's commandments, the Fourth in particular. Plenty of professed Sabbath keepers will be lost. Keeping a day from work does not save people. That can be nothing more than a religious habit; dry, empty, void of spiritual life. Why they keep it is what brings them into closer harmony with their Creator. The depth of the Sabbath truth is not about a 24 hour period. The 24 hour period is about the Creator and what He did, and why He set the 24 hours apart from the rest of His seven-day week.
The present and future will decide the case for each living person, as events, as truth is spread across the globe.
A literal Hebrew, the Jewish person who only knows imagery of the Roman Catholic "Jesus," in works of art he's been exposed to, absolutely knowing that cannot be the biblical Messiah, has been given a false subject to base a decision upon. God will judge him on what truth he does have and should be responsible and accountable for. God knows. We do not.
There are millions in this world who know nothing more of Christianity than scandals they see in the news. Will God judge people based on scandals in the news? God forbid. Light is light, darkness is darkness. All have some kind of light upon the mind, the conscience that God shines on people. He knows what that is, in each life.
The infinite God, Creator is Judge. Only He can be. Christ, the Son, lived as fallen mankind lives, tempted in all points as we are, yet without sin. His judgment seat is perfect. No mistakes shall be made.
Rev 19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
Rev 19:2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

Dr. Carrie Madej
Dr. Carrie Madej is a very strong soul. She's fearless; gained by standing up for what she believes, fortified by her personal connection with God. She is well read, well studied, and has good common sense, which always stands out in an age of mind-numbing lockstep. Her medical background is strong and has to be, to stand against the flow of corporate-controlled misinformation and disinformation being pushed on humanity every hour of every day.
She has been one of those mercilessly attacked by the msm as being a "conspiracy theorist." Ding, ding, ding, ding! Someone who deserves a listen, then. And the other times I have seen her interviewed I am informed, as well as encouraged.
I don't know what her faith is, as far as a doctrinal statement she follows but, many of the things she believes mirror my own understanding after 40+ years of study.
In this broad ranging interview of only several questions, she covers a great deal of ground involving this Covid event up to this point and where things are heading, without getting into the specifics of prophetic interpretation others have gotten into.
Make no mistake, though. It does seem every whistleblower and every medical professional speaking out is someone who believes in God and realizes the very real battle between good and evil taking place.
She is interviewed by Sherry Strong of Children's Health Defense, Canada.

438. "Living" Nano Bots - December 1, 2021
So much of what cartoons and sci-fi had to offer when I was a child has come to pass and the newest headline of the day puts it way past the Jetson's.
Everybody in this world, everybody, is either in some kind of harmony with God, or not. People truly connected to their Creator can be so at many levels, for obvious reasons of age and perceptions and cognizance. People not connected to God come in plenty of varieties, as well. There are a lot of really nice people in this world that make no profession of any kind of faith. They may have been raised by very loving parents who had a grip on sound morals and decorum for balanced human beings, who had no connection, or professed connection to any deity.
The thing is, as I mentioned in a previous post, there are only two great powers vying for humanity - The Creator and the Adversary of souls - Lucifer. Everybody is under some kind of control from one of those two powers; no players waiting for a better deal to come along from agents working to find better offers. This is it. God's side, or not.
Humans freely profess (well, depending on the nation and culture you live in), what they do or do not believe. America has become a theological melting pot from zero understanding and faith in a deity, to complete faith based on the capacity to understand deity that each person has and employs.
There's a reason Christ said to be like little children. Their existence is based on simplicity. Simple belief, simple faith. They don't complicate things. The older we get, the more circumstances of life complicate things but, Christ asks His people to think like children; keep it simple. God is, therefore, everything is under control.
Now to the actual subject matter of this post - Bots. An astounding article has been recorded in the Jerusalem Post, for Nov. 30, 2021.
https://www.jpost.com/science/scientists-create-first-living-robots-that-can-reproduce-study-687430
We have all seen the mazing advancement for robotic development in the last couple decades. Each year produces more refined machines. Add in A.I. and Hollywood has been happy to take it and run. Of course, sci-fi from the 60's and 70's and up to the turn of the millennium has entertained millions with constant takes on what science could do, wanted to do, and eventually ends up doing. No, Scotty is not going to beam anybody up anytime soon but, that headline above: living robots that can reproduce? Rosie, from the Jetsons? No. Nanobots. Microscopic robots. More specifically, xenobots.
The reason this is monumental is because Covid has introduced a new type of "vaccine," recently placed within definition changes of what a vaccine is. The new "vaccine" functions as code that can replicate in human cells. It changes cells. It weakens the immune system. Let not Dr. Anthony Fauci bamboozle you with "science;" his definition and protocols of science. The mRNA technology IS AN ATTACK ON HUMAN CELLS. As more and voices speak out, and more and more people begin dying from organ failure caused by the codes being written by nanobots swimming in the bloodstreams of billions of people, it is a race against time whether the elites, the small group waging war on humanity via medical/pharma development and their lies, can kill enough of them to render the rest powerless.
Now, scientists at the University of Vermont claim to have created "xenobots" that can self-reproduce, self-heal.
You read that correctly. The prefix, "xeno" means stranger, strangeness, foreign or foreigner. The very terminology is an affront to human beings. Strange, foreign molecular machines, self-producing inside human beings, or any living creature or plant. Not just cellular code but, actual molecular bots.
I had mentioned a PhD chemist that is on the boards of various companies into nanobot technology. He shows experiments where these bots can join together and repair a broken spinal column in mice, and the mice can walk again. It is absolutely astounding. That said, it is one thing to inject billions of nanobots into a human being, programmed to repair, and injecting one bot into a human that can reproduce by itself, thereby placing untold numbers of living machines into humans that can and will do far more than repair a paraplegic. They are bots, programmable nanorobots, xenobots. Foreign elements.
If anybody with half a mind thinks such technology will not be used by very powerful entities to completely change the human genome, you are a fool. mRNA technology is now, today, weakening the human genome of billions of injected people, whether they know it or believe it or not.
A nanobot is still a robot but, creating robots that can reproduce by themselves?
"Scientists from the University of Vermont have reportedly built the first living robots, also claiming that they have the ability to reproduce.
"The peer-reviewed study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Monday, states that artificially intelligent-designed "xenobots" have presented a new way of biological self-replication.
"Less than a millimeter long, xenobots were originally first presented to the public in January of last year, where they could self-heal using stem cells of the African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, of which the AI robot is named after. The experiments at the time presented their ability for movement and collaboration to work together in groups.
"Researchers from Tufts University and Harvard University said that the discovery of biological reproduction from these robots is different from any animal or plant that is known to science. Researchers used AI to test billions of body shapes to make the xenobots improve in kinetic replication - which occurs at the molecular level.
"In the end, the supercomputer came up with a C-shape, and researchers found that it was able to find other tiny stem cells and a few days later the bundle of cells become new baby "xenobots." The scientists were stunned to discover that they were able to self-replicate spontaneously.
"The researchers affirmed that the living machines are contained in a lab and can be destroyed easily if there was any concern. However, the team said that this discovery could be beneficial for advancing regenerative medicine."
If you believe that last, underlined sentence, you are living in a fantasy-world. Such development would be targeted by every single weaponized nation on Earth.
The literal possibility of changing the entire human race is now on the table. To even think, let alone believe such technology would remain in the hands of those who just want to medically help humanity is an ignorance of staggering proportions. Even the idea that self-productive robots in a human being is in any way a benefit to humanity, when the potential for catastrophe is so obvious, is jaw-dropping.
Transhumanism is not just a thought in Ray Kurzweil's mind. Transhumanism is now a potential planetary threat. I say 'threat' because that is exactly what a race to control the technology becomes and should it be implanted into one bloodstream and thereby rendered sufficient to move from one human being to another, or animal to a human being, those who trust in politicians and scientists to be careful and circumspect 100% of the time are blind and the perfect pretense of control exists. First, incarcerated criminals, or the military. National guards, police forces. If you think elitists are not seeing planetary utopia here, with Robocops and Roboarmies controlling humanity, what's left of it, you are grossly living in a dream-world.
This is on the heels of an evil, elitist attempt to bioweapon remove more than 6 billion people.
The time has come for God to arise and move the right arm of Providence again, as he did 4,000 years ago and destroyed the population of Earth in a deluge before it completely and totally corrupted itself. It is bad enough to be spiritually under the control of Satan. Some are then physically under the control Satan and the rebel hosts. Such ancient premises pale in comparison to human beings under the control of men, under the control of Satan. The potential here makes Communism seem like a day at the beach.
Do you remember this quote from a previous post:
"But if there was one sin above another which called for the destruction of the race by the flood, it was the base crime of amalgamation of man and beast which defaced the image of God, and caused confusion everywhere." The Spirit of Prophecy, Vol. 1, chap. 7, pg. 69 - 1870.
The amalgamation of man and beast. Today, the amalgamation of man with robots. The ramifications are critical and monstrously colossal.
God help us.
Everybody in this world, everybody, is either in some kind of harmony with God, or not. People truly connected to their Creator can be so at many levels, for obvious reasons of age and perceptions and cognizance. People not connected to God come in plenty of varieties, as well. There are a lot of really nice people in this world that make no profession of any kind of faith.

You read that correctly. The prefix, "xeno" means stranger, strangeness, foreign or foreigner. The very terminology is an affront to human beings. Strange, foreign molecular machines, self-producing inside human beings, or any living creature or plant. Not just cellular code but, actual molecular bots.
I had mentioned a PhD chemist that is on the boards of various companies into nanobot technology. He shows experiments where these bots can join together and repair a broken spinal column in mice, and the mice can walk again. It is absolutely astounding. That said, it is one thing to inject billions of nanobots into a human being, programmed to repair, and injecting one bot into a human that can reproduce by itself, thereby placing untold numbers of living machines into humans that can and will do far more than repair a paraplegic. They are bots, programmable nanorobots, xenobots. Foreign elements.
If anybody with half a mind thinks such technology will not be used by very powerful entities to completely change the human genome, you are a fool. mRNA technology is now, today, weakening the human genome of billions of injected people, whether they know it or believe it or not.
A nanobot is still a robot but, creating robots that can reproduce by themselves?
"Scientists from the University of Vermont have reportedly built the first living robots, also claiming that they have the ability to reproduce.
"The peer-reviewed study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Monday, states that artificially intelligent-designed "xenobots" have presented a new way of biological self-replication.
"Less than a millimeter long, xenobots were originally first presented to the public in January of last year, where they could self-heal using stem cells of the African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, of which the AI robot is named after. The experiments at the time presented their ability for movement and collaboration to work together in groups.
"Researchers from Tufts University and Harvard University said that the discovery of biological reproduction from these robots is different from any animal or plant that is known to science. Researchers used AI to test billions of body shapes to make the xenobots improve in kinetic replication - which occurs at the molecular level.
"In the end, the supercomputer came up with a C-shape, and researchers found that it was able to find other tiny stem cells and a few days later the bundle of cells become new baby "xenobots." The scientists were stunned to discover that they were able to self-replicate spontaneously.
"The researchers affirmed that the living machines are contained in a lab and can be destroyed easily if there was any concern. However, the team said that this discovery could be beneficial for advancing regenerative medicine."
If you believe that last, underlined sentence, you are living in a fantasy-world. Such development would be targeted by every single weaponized nation on Earth.
The literal possibility of changing the entire human race is now on the table. To even think, let alone believe such technology would remain in the hands of those who just want to medically help humanity is an ignorance of staggering proportions. Even the idea that self-productive robots in a human being is in any way a benefit to humanity, when the potential for catastrophe is so obvious, is jaw-dropping.
Transhumanism is not just a thought in Ray Kurzweil's mind. Transhumanism is now a potential planetary threat. I say 'threat' because that is exactly what a race to control the technology becomes and should it be implanted into one bloodstream and thereby rendered sufficient to move from one human being to another, or animal to a human being, those who trust in politicians and scientists to be careful and circumspect 100% of the time are blind and the perfect pretense of control exists. First, incarcerated criminals, or the military. National guards, police forces. If you think elitists are not seeing planetary utopia here, with Robocops and Roboarmies controlling humanity, what's left of it, you are grossly living in a dream-world.
This is on the heels of an evil, elitist attempt to bioweapon remove more than 6 billion people.
The time has come for God to arise and move the right arm of Providence again, as he did 4,000 years ago and destroyed the population of Earth in a deluge before it completely and totally corrupted itself. It is bad enough to be spiritually under the control of Satan. Some are then physically under the control Satan and the rebel hosts. Such ancient premises pale in comparison to human beings under the control of men, under the control of Satan. The potential here makes Communism seem like a day at the beach.
Do you remember this quote from a previous post:
"But if there was one sin above another which called for the destruction of the race by the flood, it was the base crime of amalgamation of man and beast which defaced the image of God, and caused confusion everywhere." The Spirit of Prophecy, Vol. 1, chap. 7, pg. 69 - 1870.
The amalgamation of man and beast. Today, the amalgamation of man with robots. The ramifications are critical and monstrously colossal.
God help us.

439. The Felonious Records of Drug Companies - December 3, 2021
One of the most incredible issues I have discovered in the Covid event, one that is truly mind numbing, is the felonious record major drug companies have. BILLIONS of dollars in both civil and CRIMINAL settlements have been rendered by Glaxo Smith Kline; Pfizer; Eli Lilley; Merck; Johnson & Johnson; Astra Zeneca; Bristol Meyers Squibb; and dozens of other companies. It is a shocking fact that somehow escapes the minds of people now under the care/control of these giant corporations literally ruining the lives of millions of people, or killing people with the current EUA concoctions. The criminal duplicity and cooperation of the radical Leftist press just adds to the horror of it.
Pharma companies have knowingly harmed and killed people. They make so much money selling their drugs they know if they get caught in fraud of any kind, or willful endangerment, they can pay huge fines and just continue on.
To know that the American Congress passed laws to protect these dangerous corporations from lawsuits, regardless of whatever adverse effect their products place upon humanity, is such an egregious affront to the rule of law, it's sickening. To know that nations have signed agreements with the companies pushing mRNA concoctions, to remain free from all legal responsibility and accountability is a type of "1984" control that should instantly cause any reasoning person to pause before trusting anything these companies produce.
I have never been one to use pharmaceuticals at any time in my life. When I became a Christian and got into biblical health and read things about the use of drugs and the effects upon the immune system, even more so did I refrain from using any kind of product that contains harmful toxins.
All naturopath MDs know drugs do not cure disease. Drugs attack elements of disease but, acute care medicine does not care about treating causes of illness. They treat symptoms illnesses develop. There is a huge difference between treating pain, and treating what is causing the pain. Drugs do not cure disease. The human body cures illness with the body systems God designed to do the job. Weaken those systems and extend your chances of succumbing to the illness.
When drug companies KNOW their products will cause harm but, they weigh percentages of harmed people versus profits, you're dealing with an evil entity; entities so wicked and diabolical God places their existence in Bible prophecy, and you should realize you're dealing with something to avoid. And yet, 5 billion people have put their lives into their hands thus far, trusting companies producing agents that are killing people. It's one thing to get a headache, a stomach ache, dizziness, watery eyes, and the like, which in and of themselves are tell-tale signs you are putting something dangerous into your body and causing your body systems to fight off something invasive, along with the energy necessary to go to war with what has already made you sick but, to die from an injection of something supposedly designed to protect you is sheer lunacy.
If all the human race had was seeing the numbers of professional and amateur athletes dropping like flies after injections, the world should STOP and take notice but, of course, the corporate controlled press just tells the world, nothing to see here, just move along.
Nothing about this event and the people out in front of it should be trusted. It amazes me, with all the information out there about Anthony Fauci, he is still walking around a free man, continuing to be a controlling factor for 330 million lives in America. Any man pompous and bold enough to exclaim, "I am the science," should be rendered moot just by common sense. Investigation of what is behind such an expression of ego and self-proclaimed authority should have been ongoing from the start, as soon as medical professionals began challenging his claims about this event.
I cannot imagine the grief and horror coming upon parents forcing their children to be injected. The stupidity (and I call it that because everybody has access to information showing exactly what this event is and how it is being handled and could be warned), is so gross, so prevalent, and so atrocious this world-wide cognitive dissonance may be the greatest cause of human suffering in the history of mankind. Before this event is finally over, and based on actual, empirical medical science, which has done no actual phase-three testing to know, this is estimated to go on for many years to come. It has been over 20 years in the planning. It may take another 20 to fully realize what the cabal is after - depopulation and control of humanity, to give "Mother Earth" a break.
The drug companies are convicted felons. That fact can never be left out of the discussion. It is one thing when a convicted felon serves their time and attempts to reenter civilized society as a changed person. It is altogether something else when they serve their time and commence to commit crime again. The drug companies flaunt their power in shocking ways.
When children by the tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, begin developing heart problems, dying from heart attacks, blood clots, or joining the growing ranks of the neurologically impaired, and parents realize this is on them... you tell me. What is going to happen?

440. Totalitarianism Is Here - December 3, 2021
As I contemplate being an American, seeing America being trashed by maniacal yet surgical politicians, and watching a continued wave of fear being used to destroy the world, literally, because that is the plan - ruin everything and elitists take control of what is left - I am left feeling very... small and insignificant. Billions of people are feeling that way. The plan is the plan and nothing is going to stop it, as far as the planners are concerned. Something is coming that will stop it, though. And they shall be powerless to withstand it. But, that is yet hence.
I saw Australia being gone many months ago. Abject tyranny. Austria has now joined it, and Germany has launched its attack upon the unvaccinated. Lockdowns, regardless of whether or not anyone is sick, are being used to terrify and threaten those who freely choose to reject any necessity of a vaccine for an illness more than 98% of people recover from, if they have it in a serious condition. They are uncooperative, therefore, they lose their liberties.
It is almost impossible for me to realize, just two years ago I almost went to Germany to perform at a Spring festival. I thought about the performance and planned for it, for months. Then the "Plan" struck it's executive blow and here we are: people losing freedom and liberty to live as they choose because they will not choose an injection.
When leaders refuse truth, refuse to look at evidence, or do, and reject it because acceptance of it would derail their plans, you are dealing with people who have lost not just civility but, humanity. Study after study has come out showing the vaccinated are dying or suffering a growing list of serious adverse effects. They are shedding their vapors of sickness because the "vaccines" do not work and were not meant to work. Leaders do not care. EVERYONE MUST BE INJECTED. Common sense tells me something is seriously wrong with people who make such demands when the evidence declares such a move can by deadly. No halt of injections is even suggested in most nations, let alone demanded by national leaders. Frankly, all you Trump fans out there can revel in polls stating he would handily beat Biden in '24 but, while Trump still promotes the injections, he is either far too self-centered to admit he was wrong about his entire handling of the event, or he is too stupid and should not be president of the only superpower on Earth, which is going to soon change when China takes that role and America possibly collapses from a bunch of things the planners have put into motion.
The diabolical nature of those control freaks who are not happy until they have absolute power, will face God someday. I rest in that fact. Whatever they get away with now, they cannot get away from then. "Vengeance is Mine. I will repay, saith the LORD."
The desire to control any civil human being is a sickness, a mental illness. Criminal activity must be controlled and yet, what do we see? Criminal activity from the highest to the lowest estate of humanity and nothing is done to stop it. Those trying to stand up for civility and liberty are the ones being threatened, coerced, and incarcerated. If that does not tell you how sick this planet is, what could? Perversion, with all its allurements and temptations is rampant. Few, if any, are not affected by it. But for the grace of God, humanity, as in the days of Noah, would succumb to it and effectually destroy itself.
Did you know that exact thing is coming? The Bible predicts a time when the world will turn on itself, all classes, all people not numbered with the remnant under the full influence of Christ and the Holy Spirit.
Rev 17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
That's some serious imagery, right there. The time is coming when humanity is going to turn on those who control it, all religious and political powers and leaders that have brought on the end of the world with their quests for dominance and control; from the Great Mother Whore, to her daughters, and to every station of power and control below her.
I'm going to post a study on prophetic Babylon tomorrow.
As serious as the current event and situation is, the cabal and their injections are not the beast, or mark of the beast, or anything other than tyranny and despotism. Technology and the modern world has just enabled it to have far more reach than previous generations under the control of political overlords.
I'd like you to consider what is referred to as the Three Angel's Messages of Rev. 14. They are the final messages of warning and guidance for the world before Christ returns:
Rev 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
Rev 14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
Rev 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
Rev 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
Rev 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
The breakdown is significant.
1. Angel = messenger; a movement of a message for the world. The final task for God's people on Earth.
2. The messages are the everlasting gospel, the good news that shall go to everyone, everywhere. Despite the serious nature of each message, God considers it good news. Would you not be thankful to be awakened by screaming, and a banging on your front door in the middle of the night by a neighbor who sees your house on fire? Good news comes in many shapes and forms.
3. Fear - Reverence, Respect God. In an age where God is obviously not, a message goes out to the world to recognize the rightful place 'the LORD of all the Earth' should have.
4. Give glory, i.e. make something obvious about God. That is the Greek word for glory. To make some thing shine, obvious, like the noonday sun. The Bible states, whatever you eat, drink or do, do all to the glory of God, 1 Cor. 10:31. The message contains the element of healthful living. Human beings are not garbage cans, free to dump whatever they want into them. People are to make something obvious about God with good health, whether physical or spiritual. In THIS current event, how much more appropriate could a message be? Remember the first chapter of the book of Daniel is not some vision of empires but, a story of obedience to God and His health laws, and the blessings that follow abiding in them, not the diet of Babylon.
The word 'glory' is found in the KJV over 400 times, and if you place the original meaning of the Hebrew and Greek words in those verses: shine, shining, obvious, as well as character, when it applies, a wealth of understanding can be found in the First Angel's message.
5. The judgment hour has commenced: the investigative judgement. The judgment that begins at the house of God, 1 Peter 4:17-19. Every thought, every word, every action ever committed has all been written down and shall be weighed against every profession of faith. There is a prosecuting attorney - the Adversary of souls, the accuser, Rev 12:10. There is the Defense Attorney, our Advocate, Iesous Christos, 1 John 2:1; and there is a Judge, also Christ, 2 Cor. 5:10. Consider the ramifications of that. There is a Jury, as well, the Father and an innumerable host of angels, Daniel 7:9,10. No scene in all the Bible has more import for humanity professing belief in God.
6. A message to worship the Creator. In an age of disbelief in Creation, a message goes out to all the Earth to worship, to bow down and recognize the authority of the Creator. Timely? Indeed. And what is that act of worship God has asked humanity to remember? The seventh-day Sabbath of the fourth commandment of the moral law, the royal law, the law of liberty, Exo. 20:8-11; James 2:8-13.
7. A message warning of the fall of spiritual, prophetic Babylon, and the forced influence of her wine and fornication. Wine creates inebriation and confusion. The more confused people are, the easier they are to control because their power to reason is violated and truncated.
8. The third message is the most fearful ever given to man. Consider Noah. For 120 years he preached righteousness and a warning that a flood was coming to destroy the Earth. To believe it meant to help build and enter the Ark when finished. To reject was to drown in the convulsions of a planetary catastrophe but, the Third Angel's message is far more terrifying. Do not bow down to the Roman Catholic Church Papacy, nor the apostate United States of America and its apostate Protestants, to comply with legislation of Rome's mark of authority, the change of the Sabbath from the seventh to the first day of the week: Sunday. Sunday legislation nationally and ultimately, internationally. If you believe she has the authority, or if you do not but, still bow to the demands to cease normal weekly activity on that day, especially if you step on God's holy day (Isa. 58:13,14), you shall drink of God the unfiltered, unmixed of mercy wrath of His indignation upon a planet steeped in rebellion, brought forth by the seven last plagues, the fall of 150 lb. hailstones, and the destruction of Earth by the blazing, fiery, cataclysmic return of Christ of which no appeal exists, and your destiny is sealed forever with the sentence of eternal death.
From the moment the final calls go out and people reject the warnings and call to come out of Babylon or receive of her plagues, the minds of the lost will be tormented day and night by driving madness, which shall lead to the convulsion already mentioned. We either reason with God or lose the ability to reason. Can we picture the nature of a planetary population under the control of Satan; mad, insane with rage as the plagues fall, and they realize they have been duped, deceived, and there is nothing left but to turn on their deceivers and tear them limb from limb?
9. Then there is the patience, the endurance of the sanctified ones who keep, or guard the 10 commandments of God, the standard of judgment for all humanity, and they guard the faith of Jesus. They are the remnant. The last of the true church, the body of Christ, with Him as Head, not man; not any man or group of men.
When I first learned these messages 42 years ago, and then began to preach and teach them, I marveled at the cohesion and connectedness of them to all the teachings of the Bible. They are so unique and worthy of contemplation, they are designed to simply state the case that shall exist for every person on Earth to decide upon. There is hardly a subject in the Bible they do not touch. A garment woven so tight, it cannot be penetrated.
Did you know that is how the Bible describes a baby in the womb? Knitted, woven together. Under an electron microscope the entire human being is a vast connection of molecular woven designs. All living things are woven together with living thread and connections. Translators use the English words covered, fenced, knit, or woven for the Greek and Hebrew words. The church, the body of Christ, is stated to be knit together in love.
The Three Angel's Messages have been going out to the Earth by believers since the 1850's. The final events are pulling into place, slowly but, surely, and ultimately, as that penny speeds its way down that funnel, the final events will be rapid ones. The differences between sheep and goats, righteous and unrighteous, obedient and disobedient, faithful and faithless shall become more and more apparent. Which side will we ultimately be on?
Get ready, get ready, get ready! I hear the voice of a coming God.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

6. A message to worship the Creator. In an age of disbelief in Creation, a message goes out to all the Earth to worship, to bow down and recognize the authority of the Creator. Timely? Indeed. And what is that act of worship God has asked humanity to remember? The seventh-day Sabbath of the fourth commandment of the moral law, the royal law, the law of liberty, Exo. 20:8-11; James 2:8-13.
7. A message warning of the fall of spiritual, prophetic Babylon, and the forced influence of her wine and fornication. Wine creates inebriation and confusion. The more confused people are, the easier they are to control because their power to reason is violated and truncated.
8. The third message is the most fearful ever given to man. Consider Noah. For 120 years he preached righteousness and a warning that a flood was coming to destroy the Earth. To believe it meant to help build and enter the Ark when finished. To reject was to drown in the convulsions of a planetary catastrophe but, the Third Angel's message is far more terrifying. Do not bow down to the Roman Catholic Church Papacy, nor the apostate United States of America and its apostate Protestants, to comply with legislation of Rome's mark of authority, the change of the Sabbath from the seventh to the first day of the week: Sunday. Sunday legislation nationally and ultimately, internationally. If you believe she has the authority, or if you do not but, still bow to the demands to cease normal weekly activity on that day, especially if you step on God's holy day (Isa. 58:13,14), you shall drink of God the unfiltered, unmixed of mercy wrath of His indignation upon a planet steeped in rebellion, brought forth by the seven last plagues, the fall of 150 lb. hailstones, and the destruction of Earth by the blazing, fiery, cataclysmic return of Christ of which no appeal exists, and your destiny is sealed forever with the sentence of eternal death.
From the moment the final calls go out and people reject the warnings and call to come out of Babylon or receive of her plagues, the minds of the lost will be tormented day and night by driving madness, which shall lead to the convulsion already mentioned. We either reason with God or lose the ability to reason. Can we picture the nature of a planetary population under the control of Satan; mad, insane with rage as the plagues fall, and they realize they have been duped, deceived, and there is nothing left but to turn on their deceivers and tear them limb from limb?
9. Then there is the patience, the endurance of the sanctified ones who keep, or guard the 10 commandments of God, the standard of judgment for all humanity, and they guard the faith of Jesus. They are the remnant. The last of the true church, the body of Christ, with Him as Head, not man; not any man or group of men.
When I first learned these messages 42 years ago, and then began to preach and teach them, I marveled at the cohesion and connectedness of them to all the teachings of the Bible. They are so unique and worthy of contemplation, they are designed to simply state the case that shall exist for every person on Earth to decide upon. There is hardly a subject in the Bible they do not touch. A garment woven so tight, it cannot be penetrated.
Did you know that is how the Bible describes a baby in the womb? Knitted, woven together. Under an electron microscope the entire human being is a vast connection of molecular woven designs. All living things are woven together with living thread and connections. Translators use the English words covered, fenced, knit, or woven for the Greek and Hebrew words. The church, the body of Christ, is stated to be knit together in love.
The Three Angel's Messages have been going out to the Earth by believers since the 1850's. The final events are pulling into place, slowly but, surely, and ultimately, as that penny speeds its way down that funnel, the final events will be rapid ones. The differences between sheep and goats, righteous and unrighteous, obedient and disobedient, faithful and faithless shall become more and more apparent. Which side will we ultimately be on?
Get ready, get ready, get ready! I hear the voice of a coming God.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

441. A Dedication to a King - December 4, 2021
When I was doing public ministry and began to get into the rougher subject matter that I knew would upset people, I told them ahead of time the very Bible they were using would tell them who the antichrist is. At some point I would direct them to the very beginning of their Bible. Not Genesis. Before Genesis, in the King James Version, there is a written dedication to the king, from the translators, thanking him for the opportunity to do their work.
Up to that time the Geneva Bible was in common use, save for the obvious Douay Version but, that version, the Roman Catholic Bible, remaining or translated from the Latin, mostly sat in monasteries because it became a crime, punishable by imprisonment or even death, to own, read, and propagate the information found in the Holy Scriptures.
I vividly remember an exhibit of Bibles at the Beinecke Library, at Yale, in New Haven, CT. It was 1979, the year I was born again. A friend from church who was going to Yale at the time, took me to see it. Bibles with chains on them. Bibles were intense works of art. The task of hand printing was arduous enough but, the artwork on many pages, vines and all, as well as depictions of biblical history and events, was jaw dropping. The chains served two purposes. One, protect the works from theft and two, protect the work for being read by anyone but, clerics.
When the invention of the printing press took place, in the 15th century, the first book printed was an enormous Bible, the Gutenberg Bible, named after the inventor. Seeing one in a glass case at the library was breath taking. The printing of the Bible in the vernacular languages of the people throughout Europe exploded an understanding of the Christian faith and gave Reformers a platform to, not just preach but, show crowds what the Scriptures taught and biblical ignorance gave way to a faith, long hidden and perverted by the church of Rome.
In the times of the 16th century, the Reformation had already been going on for centuries. Many men, many people, from different European nations, always had hand-copied versions of the Scriptures, refused to live by the dictates of man, and became enemies of the growing Roman church. The simple reason? The biblical truth versus the man-made traditions and superstitions that began to take its place.
The people of the Alps; the Vaudois, the Albigenses, the Waldenses, the Hugenots, the Moravians and others, took their stand against Rome's apostasy back into the 8th through 12th centuries and beyond, well into the 17th and 18th centuries. John Wycliffe, the English Reformer, called the "Morning Star" of the Reformation, took his stand in the 14th century and made it his mandate to see to it a child could read a Bible and know the difference between truth and error. Catherine of Siena, the powerful female Reformer, took her stands in the 14th century. John Huss, the Czech Reformer, took his stand in the 14th into the 15th century. William Tyndale, Thomas Cromwell and others from Great Britain were taking stands in the 15th century and early 16th centuries. Even Italy had its great Reformers, Girolamo Savonarola being one of them, a Catholic Domincan friar, who, like so many others, was killed for his faith and proclamations of reform, at the end of the 15th century.
When the 16th century opened up, armies of spiritual warriors for truth had taken their stands against Romish doctrines and apostasy. Martin Luther, John Calvin, Huldrych Zwingli, Erasmus, John Knox and dozens of others began to see their work for the Lord increase to the point one nation after another was leaving the ranks of the Papacy and Roman Church, and becoming "Protestant."
The term derives, not from the ministry of Martin Luther, placing his 95 grievances against Catholic doctrines and practices before the citizens in Wittenburg, Germany but, from the protest of the evangelical Princes at the Diet of Spires, in 1529, in who stood before the King Charles and said the civil power and the church have no right to persecute and prosecute anyone who takes spiritual stands against the majority, based on their understanding of a Thus Saith the Lord. They should be left alone to believe according to dictates of conscience, not declarations of clerics or royals. Considering the Diet was established to crush the Reformers and their influence, such a victory as the Princes achieved changed the face of Europe and the entire Western world and ultimately, the place of freedom of conscience all over the habitable globe.
It was unfortunate the Reformation had its own inquisitions against groups like the Anabaptists (Mennonites), who took their stand in the 16th century and went even deeper into the Scriptures and proclaimed complete separation from the doctrines and practices of Mother Rome must take place.
As I mentioned before, the "Counter Reformation" developed, mostly from the rise of Ignatius Loyola and the Jesuit Order and theological positions it put out there, that challenged the proclamations of Protestants that the Papacy was the power of antichrist, according to the Scriptures. The Council of Trent convened to make some changes to the perceptions of clerical abuse and even attempt to align itself a little closer to Scriptural truth on issues of salvation, etc., but, in the end, the Council held the Roman Catholic line on grave differences between the Church and the Reformation. Despite that, and the heavy persecution upon it anywhere the Roman Catholic Church had political influence and power, the Reformation continued into the 17th century with the Puritan movement, which not only protested against the Roman Church but, also the Church of England. The "Pilgrims" left their homeland and took their stand against church abuses towards faith outside established ecclesiastical norms, and sailed to America. They had their own problems with the same issues of abuse to "outsiders," though.
Richard Baxter, author of "The Reformed Pastor," had great influence in the 17th century, as well as John Flavel and his works, over two dozen of them, influenced a generation and beyond.
The one book that made the most powerful difference for the Western world was the King James Bible. The translators wrote a dedication to the king and in that dedication we find these words, that most new or modern King James Bibles do not include:
"TO THE MOST HIGH AND MIGHTY PRINCE JAMES, BY THE GRACE OF GOD KING OF GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE, AND IRELAND, DEFENDER OF THE FAITH… The Translators of the Bible wish Grace, Mercy and Peace, through JESUS CHRIST our Lord.
"And this their contentment doth not diminish or decay, but every day increaseth and taketh strength, when they observe, that the zeal of Your Majesty toward the house of God doth not slack or go backward, but is more and more kindled, manifesting itself abroad in the farthest parts of Christendom, by writing in defence of the Truth, (which hath given such a blow unto that man of sin, as will not be healed,) and every day at home, by religious and learned discourse, by frequenting the house of God, by hearing the Word preached, by cherishing the Teachers thereof, by caring for the Church, as a most tender and loving nursing Father.
"...whose allowance and acceptance of our labours shall more honour and encourage us, than all the calumniations and hard interpretations of other men shall dismay us. So that if, on the one side, we shall be traduced by Popish Persons at home or abroad, who therefore will malign us, because we are poor instruments to make God’s holy Truth to be yet more and more known unto the people, whom they desire still to keep in ignorance and darkness; or if, on the other side, we shall be maligned by self-conceited Brethren, who run their own ways, and give liking unto nothing, but what is framed by themselves, and hammered on their anvil; we may rest secure, supported within by truth and innocency of a good conscience, having walked the ways of simplicity and integrity, as before the Lord; and sustained without by the powerful protection of Your Majesty’s grace and favour, which will ever give countenance to honest and christian endeavours against bitter censures and uncharitable imputations."
The identity of antichrist, the Little Horn power of Daniel and the beast of Revelation were well known, understood and proclaimed for centuries. Of all the doctrinal disputes Protestants had and maintained down through time, that understanding was universal among all churches that separated from the Roman Catholic dominion. Why has it been removed from newer printings of the KJV? My very first Bible when becoming a Christian has the dedication in it. Newer editions do not. Why? The results of the British, Oxford apostasy, mentioned in a previous blog. The understanding of prophetic events changed radically because of the influence of the Jesuit authors Alcazar and Ribera, their positions of Preterism and Futurism, and Anglican preachers and clerics who desired to see the Church of England return to the Roman Catholic fold; held conferences and meetings using those Jesuit views, attended by men who were influenced, and changed the face of Protestantism with new (old) interpretations of prophecy.
John Wesley and his brother, Charles, continued the Reformation in the 18th century. Methodism, or the Methodist Church was established to carry on reforms and bring things yet closer to the simplicity of biblical religion. John Whitefield, the "Trumpet of the Lord," with a seemingly magical, cannon-like voice, could preach to thousands and be heard as though people were conversing with him two feet away. He had massive influence in his ministry in America.
The 19th century saw Reformers like Charles Finney and Charles Spurgeon take stands against Romanism, yet all of Europe and America began to cool towards the one position every Reformer held in common for centuries: the Papacy was "antechristos."
The most prolific religious authoress in history, Ellen Gould Harmon, later married James White and her works on all subjects of Christian life have literally spanned the globe. From the mid 1800's into the early 20th century she took stands against the Roman Catholic Church that had not been seen for a half a century and more. The Seventh-day Adventist Church began as a very small spattering of believers that grew into an international church that truly surprised onlookers at the speed of which it happened. The Catholic Church proclaimed the SDA denomination was the last bastion of Protestantism, at the beginning of the 20th century. It was to be the spearhead to finish off the Reformation unto the return of Christ. Unfortunately, like all churches and movements before it, time and delay took its toll. The church is but a faint shadow of what it was to the Reformation in the 19th century.
The Protestant Reformation was established by God to bring light out of darkness, the dark ages of Roman Catholic supremacy, and it shall not die. It shall increase as we near the close of time. The Three Angel's messages of Revelation 14 and the final message from the angel of Rev. 18 shall do their work until everything closes with the glory of God covering the Earth, and Christ shall return.
The delay? Babylon.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

*****************************
442. Prophetic Babylon - December 4, 2021
The term or name Babylon, is found 294 times in the KJV. That is a pretty prominent subject matter, and deserves specific attention.
Ancient Babylon was a masterpiece of architecture and engineering, the wealthiest place in the Near Eastern world, with some of the most powerful kings known to history.
Why would Babylon be mentioned thousands of years after its place in ancient history?
1Pet 5:13 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.
That verse has had a great deal of interpretation and controversy over the centuries. What I find most telling is Roman Catholic commentary states that "Babylon" is Rome; that Peter was saluting other churches from Rome. The term Babylon was understood in the ancient world as a place of tremendous wealth and power and authority over so many cultures they can hardly be numbered. In Peter's day, Rome was that place of power and culture and influence.
Ancient Babylon had fallen centuries before. It is more likely that Peter used the term geographically because many Jews, now converts to Christianity, as well as pagans who connected to the faith, lived there, remaining in Babylon after the Jews were allowed to return to their homeland in the reigns of Cyrus and Ahasuerus.
The use of Babylon in Revelation, though, at the close of the first century, takes on grave importance.
Rev 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
Rev 16:19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
Rev 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Rev 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Rev 18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
Rev 18:21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
What is the term symbolically used for? God desires readers and Bible students to study ancient Babylon to get clues to this modern Babylon. Fair enough.
I'll confine myself to some of the Old Testament references to ancient Babylon. I can't cover them all, that would take a whole book but, in looking at its beginnings, middle and end, we can gather enough information to make a sound judgment.
Gen 10:8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
Gen 10:9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
Gen 10:10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
We begin with a genealogy. Cush was the father of Nimrod. Not much is known about Cush or what his name means. Cushites are generally known as Ehtiopians in biblical times. The etymology of the name is pretty much nil. It does not mean "black," as some believe. It has no similarity to the Hebrew words translated "black." I have seen definitions that Cush means, dark. More specifically, a dark countenance. I have also seen it means 'to mix,' and games of chance originated from his rule. It is virtually impossible to know, factually speaking. What we do know is Cush fathered Nimrod. If his name means dark countenance, and/or to mix things, his influence on his son were certainly made clear.
Nimrod. I have seen an etymology that the name derives from the Hebrew 'marad,' which means 'rebel' or 'rebellious.' Nimrod was a mighty hunter. History shows he was a hunter of, not just animals but, men. He was a tyrant. The saying developed that he was a mighty hunter before the Lord. That does not mean he stood before God and the Lord said to him, "Nice job, Nimrod." Quite the opposite. The word, "before" is derived from a Hebrew word meaning the part of the face that turns. Ultimately the meaning is "turning his face from the Lord." He became the first of the "godmen." He was a subject that became well known in various cultures for hunters, or bold warriors or champions in the ancient world, like Gilgamesh, often pictured holding a lion, which he supposedly killed with his bare hands. Nimrod has been pictured wearing the kronos, the crown of horns, depicted for killing a bull with his bare hands. Nimrod and other Babylonian kings or deities are often pictured wearing a triple-tiered crown - ruler of the heavens, the earth, and the underworld.
Nimrod stood in place of the Lord before the people. He was the first ancient priest/king, both a religious and political leader. The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Babel and Shinar. Babel means confusion. That becomes clear in chapter 11, the story of the tower of Babel. Some key points:
Gen 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
Gen 11:4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
Gen 11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
Gen 11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
Gen 11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
The tower was an actual defiance of God's promise to never again destroy the earth with a flood. Not trusting in God's word, believing God to be untrustworthy, they decided to build a tower so huge and so tall, the people could go into it and be protected from another flood.
God decided to change their plans, confuse their one language into many, and the frightened people gathered together with others who understood their speech and they scattered, creating the populated regions and nations of the ancient world. They went into the building project so they could not be scattered. They got scattered, anyway.
Notice, creating a name for themselves, distrust leading to defiance of God's word, leading to confusion. The name of the city in the ancient language is Babilu, meaning the 'gateway to god' or 'gateway to heaven.'
Dan 3:1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
Isa 21:9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.
Dan 3:4 Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages,
Dan 3:5 That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:
Dan 3:6 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
Dan 3:7 Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
Dan 3:29 Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.
The story of the fiery furnace and the three Hebrews has been told, who knows how many millions of times down through the millennia. The chapter contains a lot of information pertinent to our subject matter.
Religious/civil decrees.
Compelling of the conscience two ways - big celebration-dedication/ physical punishment.
A universal decree made by a religious priest/political king.
The word 'worship' appears 8 times in the chapter and yet the decree is a civil decree commanding all political and military leaders to bow down. Babylon was the epitome of a union of church and state.
As a sidelight, it is interesting to note that 4 lists of instruments are mentioned. Only 3 of them contain 6 instruments - 666. Does music matter to the existence and designs of Babylon?
Rev 18:21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
Rev 18:22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
Make no mistake, modern Babylon uses music just like ancient Babylon.
Dan 5:1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
Dan 5:2 Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein.
Dan 5:3 Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them.
Dan 5:4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
The night Babylon was overthrown by the Medes and Persians, the king threw a massive party. He got drunk and made the mistake of a lifetime, capping off a lifetime of self-indulgence and sin. In the ancient world, while military victory meant their gods were more powerful than yours, the desecration of religious articles was not done. In this case, Belshazzar demanded the golden articles used in the Hebrew temple services were to be brought to the feast and used to drink their booze and eat their food, and what took place was the offence of mixing the sacred with the pagan, and God brought Babylon down through a terrific way foretold in Isaiah:
Isa 45:1 Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
Isa 45:2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
Isa 45:3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
More than a century before Cyrus was born, the prophecy was given; he would subdue nations, that God would loose the loins of kings, to open the two leaved gates and make crooked places straight.
Babylon was an absolute fortress. The walls were so wide chariot races were held on them, and the walls were doubled, so thick penetration was impossible. How would the armies of Cyrus bring down Babylon?
The night of Belshazzar's feast everybody got drunk, including the military and those guarding the gates. The river Euphrates kept any invasive forces from even getting close to the gates. What did the Medes and Persians do? They damned the river and rerouted it another direction, leaving the river bed dry enough for the armies to go under the gates, open them, and met almost zero resistance that night Babylon fell.
Dan 5:4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
Dan 5:5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
Dan 5:6 Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
Some of Daniel's words to Belshazzar that night, after the king's knees shook from terror, seeing the hand writing on the wall, which was a fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy:
Dan 5:22 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this;
Dan 5:23 But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:
Though he knew better, the king would not humble himself, nor glorify God. The mighty priest/kings of Babylon took glory to themselves:
Dan 4:29 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.
Dan 4:30 The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?
Dan 4:31 While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.
Of the dozens of places that could be used to create a list of offenses and sins of Babylon, I'll use two more.
Eze 8:13 He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.
Eze 8:14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
Eze 8:15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
Eze 8:16 And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.
Eze 8:17 Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
I have mentioned Tammuz, previously. You can read a great deal about that person/deity. Some historians state his ideal goes all the way back to Babylon, being the child of Semiramis, wife of Nimrod, or Ishtar, Eoster, and other pagan female deities modeled after her. As Nimrod's "soul" was said to ascend into the sun upon his death, Semiramis made the claim the sun impregnated her, and Tammuz was the son of the sun god. Other stories claim Tammuz was a simple man who loved nature, somehow got in the face of a Babylonian king who had him put to death but, he resurrected and ascended to heaven and became the god of nature and fertility, protector of shepherds, of the fields of grain production and agriculture and the like. The deity was well known in the region and many different types of worship surrounded him, culture to culture, in Spring, with the many fertility rites that existed.
The other major offense was sun worship, sunrise services held in response to the resurrection of Tammuz. They neglected the truth, got caught up in paganism, ended up rejecting the truth and honoring the venerable day of the sun.
The branch to the nose was a symbol of worshipping the deities of agriculture and desiring their blessing. If you look it up, you can see many examples of stone relief work archaeologists have found in various digs throughout the Near East regions of ancient Mesapotamia, of various kings or deities holding branches of trees. One picture of a relief work in particular, which I used in my 666 slide presentation showed the branch held to the nose of one king.
Spring fertility rites, sunworship and sunrise services, blessings granted by deities were all part of the influence of ancient Babel. It did nothing but, breed confusion.
Lastly -
Rev 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
Rev 17:2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
Rev 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
Rev 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
Rev 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Rev 17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Modern, spiritual prophetic Babylon is portrayed as a woman who commits fornication with the kings of the earth.
The world has been made drunk from the wine of that fornication.
Her colors are purple and scarlet.
She is adorned with gold and jewels.
She is a mother of harlots, other women who have committed fornication with the world.
She has been made drunk with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.
Now, just putting these marks, signs, details together:
Nimrod, the rebel > the Roman Church and its Papacy have almost two millennia of rebellion against the truths of God's word.
The first "godman" > the popes: god on earth statements.
A priest/king of a kingdom after the flood > the popes are priests and kings of the Roman church, rulers of Vatican City/State.
Nimrod and the people wanted to make a name for themselves > Popes considered themselves Caesar, emperors, rulers of Europe, changing their names to various kings or Catholics or popes who ruled before them.
Nimrod out himself before the Lord > popes titled and seen as Pontifex Maximus; the bridges to heaven.
Was worshiped: bowed down to > seen throughout the history of the Papacy.
He wore crowns, including the triple-tiered variety > Just look it up on any image search and see the triple-tiered, jeweled crowns various popes wore.
He began the kingdom of Babilu, the gateway to god and heaven > The RCC is doctrinally touted as the only path to salvation. Recent statements by 21st century popes do not nullify that historic position. "Outside the church there is no salvation" and loyalty to the pope is the only way to heaven. Statements by Romanists down through the ages can be stacked to a ceiling of such pomposity and heresy.
He defied and circumvented the truth of God > the RCC and Papacy have kept the Bible from people or completely nullified or perverted its common meanings with traditions and man-made rules and laws.
He caused the beginning of great religious confusion > The book of Romans opens with a comment of the great faith of the Roman church, Rom. 1:7,8. The empire changed the church in Rome into an apostate, religious monarchy.
The use of images - aside from the obvious, if you have access to a Douay Rheims Catholic Bible, or a Bible with the Apocrypha in it, read Baruch, chapter 6. It is 72 verses long, and everything God states that is wrong with Babylonian image use is found in the Roman Catholic Church, and can be seen in any image search. If you are Catholic, as I was, you have seen or see it throughout the Catholic world.
Making religious/civil decrees > Sunday laws are Roman Catholic, borrowed from pagan Rome, taken from all religious/civil cultures before it, all the way back to Babylon.
Compelling of the conscience two ways: big celebration-dedication/ physical punishment > the history of Romanism is one of either, and the coming false religious revival that shall threaten people loyal to God's word and commandments, shall once again prove the point.
A universal decree made by a religious priest/political king > declarations made by the Holy See, ex cathedra, from the chair, the throne of Peter, said to be infallible. Endorsements of Sunday legislation for the entire world, is just common place in Papal encyclicals.
Babylon was the epitome of a union of church and state > The RCC/Vatican.
The use of music to set-up, impress and motivate people > The RCC has employed grand music in its services for ages. Indeed, the piano forte was invented by a Roman Catholic monk. Its music is generally unsurpassed. It houses some of the world's greatest pipe organs. Many Classical composers wrote masses and other forms of music for the Church.
The mixing of the sacred with the pagan > If I could show you the slide program I used to use on this subject... but, I cannot. In sending you to Michael Scheifler's Bible Light page, who had the greatest collection of examples to be seen on the web, I find the site no longer functions. That is a real shame. I wrote to Mr. Scheifler and received no reply. In some cases links to his site from other websites will render the page requested, like this one - https://www.remnantofgod.org/666.htm but, pictures do not load, at least in things I have found. Here's an example of the kind of research Michael Scheifler has done, if the page loads for you - http://www.aloha.net/~mikesch/666.htm
There are other sites that depict the mixing of the sacred with the pagan, like this one - https://www.markbeast.org/mark-beast-paganism.html I do not endorse every doctrinal position at that site but, that particular page gives some examples that address the subject. Other examples exist in book form, like the previously mentioned, Hislop's - The Two Babylons and Walsh's - Babylon Mystery Religion. If you happen upon a used, I believe out of print, "New Illustrated Great Controversy," examples exist, as well. Many websites show examples of this mixture of paganism and professed Christianity in greater or lesser degrees.
Not giving God all the glory but, glorifying themselves > The history of the popes assails the truth of the humble Saviour from Nazareth. Bowed before, feet kissed, carried on thrones on shoulders, it is so far removed from Christ it is abomination.
Spring fertility rites, sunworship and sunrise services, blessings granted by deities > All used by Rome for religious purposes, including blessings and protection from its over 10,000 "saints." Ever wonder what bunnies and chicks and eggs have to do with the resurrection of Christ?
And again,
Modern, spiritual prophetic Babylon is portrayed as a woman who commits fornication with the kings of the earth > the history of Romanism is filled with concords and treaties and deals made with political powers and nations to gain more and have more influence among nations.
The world has been made drunk from the wine of that fornication > Why are there so many churches? Why so much wrangling and confusion in Christianity? It all stems from the interference of Rome down through the ages, light having to come out of darkness, preconceived opinions and beliefs held on to regardless of a thus saith the Lord, and unwillingness to be like noble Bereans and study for themselves, rather than rely on clergy for truth.
Her colors are purple and scarlet, she is adorned with gold and jewels > any image search will justify the claim purple and scarlet are Rome's colors, and all kinds of statues, images, crowns, crosses and the like are covered with gold, silver, jewels, and the riches of the earth.
She is covered with names of blasphemy > Again, the claim for men to be in place of God, the power to forgive sin, the Mass: the reenactment of the death of Christ over and over, 24 hours a day somewhere on Earth, the constant rejection of the Spirit of truth century after century, even changing the truth to whatever she feels like and deems necessary, and a host of other vilifications she has committed as the Mother of abominations.
She is a mother of harlots, other women who have committed fornication with the world > apostate Protestant churches still practice her doctrines. They are the Mother's daughters. They have yet to fully separate from her influences.
She has been made drunk with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus > Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. If you believe God grants you authority to kill dissidents and heretics for the betterment of the world, becoming drunk with such power is no stretch. Persecution, while apologized for by modern popes, has never been deleted from their doctrinal positions made down through the ages. If the Catholic Church can persecute, it will persecute, by its own admissions. The modern Papacy's cordial attitude towards other faiths is no more true or reliable than the Donation of Constantine.
“It has often been charged… that Catholicism is overlaid with many pagan incrustations. Catholicism is ready to accept that accusation and even to make it her boast… the great god Pan is not really dead, he is baptized” — The Story of Catholicism p. 37.
Rev 18:7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
Isa 47:8 Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
Isa 47:9 But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.
Isa 47:10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.
Zep 2:15 This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand.
The Catholic church has been around so long, just her time span convinces her she is the true church and will never come down. Prophecy states otherwise.
Based on that which we have studied thus far; Daniel, Revelation and other biblical evidence to reveal the antichrist beast of prophecy, not much would have to be added to show that list, partial at that, is enough information to show the Protestant Reformation had no trouble at all showing the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church was Babylon and had fallen. What they missed was the fact she is a mother of harlots, and the church groups who continue to practice the doctrines and traditions of Mother, are those harlots, as they, themselves, fornicate with the kings of the earth and their influence upon the world grows weaker with each generation, as truth gets more diluted with sophistry and confusion.
The prophecy states, "fallen, is fallen." The Catholic church fell centuries before the time of the Three Angel's messages should go out to the world in understood determination, back in the 1800's. Who then, is said to be fallen, twice? The daughters of the whore, who fell in their own ages, refusing to press on into more truth, and modern apostate Protestantism now cozying up to Mother, more and more with each passing decade.
Be assured, again, there are millions of sincere worshipers of God in all churches and groups, including well beyond confines of professed Christianity. The final call to the world states, Come out of her MY people. God's people are in Babylonian confusion and shall hear the call as time continues on, right to the close of Earth's history. The remnant shall be made up, make the final witness and stand, and Christ shall return in such power and glory it shall be the end of this world, it's sin and confusion.
Count on it. The Word of God cannot fail.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Ancient Babylon was a masterpiece of architecture and engineering, the wealthiest place in the Near Eastern world, with some of the most powerful kings known to history.
Why would Babylon be mentioned thousands of years after its place in ancient history?
1Pet 5:13 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.
That verse has had a great deal of interpretation and controversy over the centuries. What I find most telling is Roman Catholic commentary states that "Babylon" is Rome; that Peter was saluting other churches from Rome. The term Babylon was understood in the ancient world as a place of tremendous wealth and power and authority over so many cultures they can hardly be numbered. In Peter's day, Rome was that place of power and culture and influence.
Ancient Babylon had fallen centuries before. It is more likely that Peter used the term geographically because many Jews, now converts to Christianity, as well as pagans who connected to the faith, lived there, remaining in Babylon after the Jews were allowed to return to their homeland in the reigns of Cyrus and Ahasuerus.
The use of Babylon in Revelation, though, at the close of the first century, takes on grave importance.
Rev 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
Rev 16:19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
Rev 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Rev 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Rev 18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
Rev 18:21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
What is the term symbolically used for? God desires readers and Bible students to study ancient Babylon to get clues to this modern Babylon. Fair enough.
I'll confine myself to some of the Old Testament references to ancient Babylon. I can't cover them all, that would take a whole book but, in looking at its beginnings, middle and end, we can gather enough information to make a sound judgment.
Gen 10:8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
Gen 10:9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
Gen 10:10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
We begin with a genealogy. Cush was the father of Nimrod. Not much is known about Cush or what his name means. Cushites are generally known as Ehtiopians in biblical times. The etymology of the name is pretty much nil. It does not mean "black," as some believe. It has no similarity to the Hebrew words translated "black." I have seen definitions that Cush means, dark. More specifically, a dark countenance. I have also seen it means 'to mix,' and games of chance originated from his rule. It is virtually impossible to know, factually speaking. What we do know is Cush fathered Nimrod. If his name means dark countenance, and/or to mix things, his influence on his son were certainly made clear.
Nimrod. I have seen an etymology that the name derives from the Hebrew 'marad,' which means 'rebel' or 'rebellious.' Nimrod was a mighty hunter. History shows he was a hunter of, not just animals but, men. He was a tyrant. The saying developed that he was a mighty hunter before the Lord. That does not mean he stood before God and the Lord said to him, "Nice job, Nimrod." Quite the opposite. The word, "before" is derived from a Hebrew word meaning the part of the face that turns. Ultimately the meaning is "turning his face from the Lord." He became the first of the "godmen." He was a subject that became well known in various cultures for hunters, or bold warriors or champions in the ancient world, like Gilgamesh, often pictured holding a lion, which he supposedly killed with his bare hands. Nimrod has been pictured wearing the kronos, the crown of horns, depicted for killing a bull with his bare hands. Nimrod and other Babylonian kings or deities are often pictured wearing a triple-tiered crown - ruler of the heavens, the earth, and the underworld.
Nimrod stood in place of the Lord before the people. He was the first ancient priest/king, both a religious and political leader. The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Babel and Shinar. Babel means confusion. That becomes clear in chapter 11, the story of the tower of Babel. Some key points:
Gen 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
Gen 11:4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
Gen 11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
Gen 11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
Gen 11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
The tower was an actual defiance of God's promise to never again destroy the earth with a flood. Not trusting in God's word, believing God to be untrustworthy, they decided to build a tower so huge and so tall, the people could go into it and be protected from another flood.
God decided to change their plans, confuse their one language into many, and the frightened people gathered together with others who understood their speech and they scattered, creating the populated regions and nations of the ancient world. They went into the building project so they could not be scattered. They got scattered, anyway.
Notice, creating a name for themselves, distrust leading to defiance of God's word, leading to confusion. The name of the city in the ancient language is Babilu, meaning the 'gateway to god' or 'gateway to heaven.'
Dan 3:1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
Isa 21:9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.
Dan 3:4 Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages,
Dan 3:5 That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:
Dan 3:6 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
Dan 3:7 Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
Dan 3:29 Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.
The story of the fiery furnace and the three Hebrews has been told, who knows how many millions of times down through the millennia. The chapter contains a lot of information pertinent to our subject matter.
Religious/civil decrees.
Compelling of the conscience two ways - big celebration-dedication/ physical punishment.
A universal decree made by a religious priest/political king.
The word 'worship' appears 8 times in the chapter and yet the decree is a civil decree commanding all political and military leaders to bow down. Babylon was the epitome of a union of church and state.
As a sidelight, it is interesting to note that 4 lists of instruments are mentioned. Only 3 of them contain 6 instruments - 666. Does music matter to the existence and designs of Babylon?
Rev 18:21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
Rev 18:22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
Make no mistake, modern Babylon uses music just like ancient Babylon.
Dan 5:1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
Dan 5:2 Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein.
Dan 5:3 Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them.
Dan 5:4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
The night Babylon was overthrown by the Medes and Persians, the king threw a massive party. He got drunk and made the mistake of a lifetime, capping off a lifetime of self-indulgence and sin. In the ancient world, while military victory meant their gods were more powerful than yours, the desecration of religious articles was not done. In this case, Belshazzar demanded the golden articles used in the Hebrew temple services were to be brought to the feast and used to drink their booze and eat their food, and what took place was the offence of mixing the sacred with the pagan, and God brought Babylon down through a terrific way foretold in Isaiah:
Isa 45:1 Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
Isa 45:2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
Isa 45:3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
More than a century before Cyrus was born, the prophecy was given; he would subdue nations, that God would loose the loins of kings, to open the two leaved gates and make crooked places straight.
Babylon was an absolute fortress. The walls were so wide chariot races were held on them, and the walls were doubled, so thick penetration was impossible. How would the armies of Cyrus bring down Babylon?
The night of Belshazzar's feast everybody got drunk, including the military and those guarding the gates. The river Euphrates kept any invasive forces from even getting close to the gates. What did the Medes and Persians do? They damned the river and rerouted it another direction, leaving the river bed dry enough for the armies to go under the gates, open them, and met almost zero resistance that night Babylon fell.
Dan 5:4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
Dan 5:5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
Dan 5:6 Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
Some of Daniel's words to Belshazzar that night, after the king's knees shook from terror, seeing the hand writing on the wall, which was a fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy:
Dan 5:22 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this;
Dan 5:23 But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:
Though he knew better, the king would not humble himself, nor glorify God. The mighty priest/kings of Babylon took glory to themselves:
Dan 4:29 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.
Dan 4:30 The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?
Dan 4:31 While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.
Of the dozens of places that could be used to create a list of offenses and sins of Babylon, I'll use two more.
Eze 8:13 He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.
Eze 8:14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
Eze 8:15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
Eze 8:16 And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.
Eze 8:17 Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
I have mentioned Tammuz, previously. You can read a great deal about that person/deity. Some historians state his ideal goes all the way back to Babylon, being the child of Semiramis, wife of Nimrod, or Ishtar, Eoster, and other pagan female deities modeled after her. As Nimrod's "soul" was said to ascend into the sun upon his death, Semiramis made the claim the sun impregnated her, and Tammuz was the son of the sun god. Other stories claim Tammuz was a simple man who loved nature, somehow got in the face of a Babylonian king who had him put to death but, he resurrected and ascended to heaven and became the god of nature and fertility, protector of shepherds, of the fields of grain production and agriculture and the like. The deity was well known in the region and many different types of worship surrounded him, culture to culture, in Spring, with the many fertility rites that existed.
The other major offense was sun worship, sunrise services held in response to the resurrection of Tammuz. They neglected the truth, got caught up in paganism, ended up rejecting the truth and honoring the venerable day of the sun.
The branch to the nose was a symbol of worshipping the deities of agriculture and desiring their blessing. If you look it up, you can see many examples of stone relief work archaeologists have found in various digs throughout the Near East regions of ancient Mesapotamia, of various kings or deities holding branches of trees. One picture of a relief work in particular, which I used in my 666 slide presentation showed the branch held to the nose of one king.
Spring fertility rites, sunworship and sunrise services, blessings granted by deities were all part of the influence of ancient Babel. It did nothing but, breed confusion.
Lastly -
Rev 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
Rev 17:2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
Rev 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
Rev 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
Rev 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Rev 17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Modern, spiritual prophetic Babylon is portrayed as a woman who commits fornication with the kings of the earth.
The world has been made drunk from the wine of that fornication.
Her colors are purple and scarlet.
She is adorned with gold and jewels.
She is a mother of harlots, other women who have committed fornication with the world.
She has been made drunk with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.
Now, just putting these marks, signs, details together:
Nimrod, the rebel > the Roman Church and its Papacy have almost two millennia of rebellion against the truths of God's word.
The first "godman" > the popes: god on earth statements.
A priest/king of a kingdom after the flood > the popes are priests and kings of the Roman church, rulers of Vatican City/State.
Nimrod and the people wanted to make a name for themselves > Popes considered themselves Caesar, emperors, rulers of Europe, changing their names to various kings or Catholics or popes who ruled before them.
Nimrod out himself before the Lord > popes titled and seen as Pontifex Maximus; the bridges to heaven.
Was worshiped: bowed down to > seen throughout the history of the Papacy.
He wore crowns, including the triple-tiered variety > Just look it up on any image search and see the triple-tiered, jeweled crowns various popes wore.
He began the kingdom of Babilu, the gateway to god and heaven > The RCC is doctrinally touted as the only path to salvation. Recent statements by 21st century popes do not nullify that historic position. "Outside the church there is no salvation" and loyalty to the pope is the only way to heaven. Statements by Romanists down through the ages can be stacked to a ceiling of such pomposity and heresy.
He defied and circumvented the truth of God > the RCC and Papacy have kept the Bible from people or completely nullified or perverted its common meanings with traditions and man-made rules and laws.
He caused the beginning of great religious confusion > The book of Romans opens with a comment of the great faith of the Roman church, Rom. 1:7,8. The empire changed the church in Rome into an apostate, religious monarchy.
The use of images - aside from the obvious, if you have access to a Douay Rheims Catholic Bible, or a Bible with the Apocrypha in it, read Baruch, chapter 6. It is 72 verses long, and everything God states that is wrong with Babylonian image use is found in the Roman Catholic Church, and can be seen in any image search. If you are Catholic, as I was, you have seen or see it throughout the Catholic world.
Making religious/civil decrees > Sunday laws are Roman Catholic, borrowed from pagan Rome, taken from all religious/civil cultures before it, all the way back to Babylon.
Compelling of the conscience two ways: big celebration-dedication/ physical punishment > the history of Romanism is one of either, and the coming false religious revival that shall threaten people loyal to God's word and commandments, shall once again prove the point.
A universal decree made by a religious priest/political king > declarations made by the Holy See, ex cathedra, from the chair, the throne of Peter, said to be infallible. Endorsements of Sunday legislation for the entire world, is just common place in Papal encyclicals.
Babylon was the epitome of a union of church and state > The RCC/Vatican.
The use of music to set-up, impress and motivate people > The RCC has employed grand music in its services for ages. Indeed, the piano forte was invented by a Roman Catholic monk. Its music is generally unsurpassed. It houses some of the world's greatest pipe organs. Many Classical composers wrote masses and other forms of music for the Church.
The mixing of the sacred with the pagan > If I could show you the slide program I used to use on this subject... but, I cannot. In sending you to Michael Scheifler's Bible Light page, who had the greatest collection of examples to be seen on the web, I find the site no longer functions. That is a real shame. I wrote to Mr. Scheifler and received no reply. In some cases links to his site from other websites will render the page requested, like this one - https://www.remnantofgod.org/666.htm but, pictures do not load, at least in things I have found. Here's an example of the kind of research Michael Scheifler has done, if the page loads for you - http://www.aloha.net/~mikesch/666.htm
There are other sites that depict the mixing of the sacred with the pagan, like this one - https://www.markbeast.org/mark-beast-paganism.html I do not endorse every doctrinal position at that site but, that particular page gives some examples that address the subject. Other examples exist in book form, like the previously mentioned, Hislop's - The Two Babylons and Walsh's - Babylon Mystery Religion. If you happen upon a used, I believe out of print, "New Illustrated Great Controversy," examples exist, as well. Many websites show examples of this mixture of paganism and professed Christianity in greater or lesser degrees.
Not giving God all the glory but, glorifying themselves > The history of the popes assails the truth of the humble Saviour from Nazareth. Bowed before, feet kissed, carried on thrones on shoulders, it is so far removed from Christ it is abomination.
Spring fertility rites, sunworship and sunrise services, blessings granted by deities > All used by Rome for religious purposes, including blessings and protection from its over 10,000 "saints." Ever wonder what bunnies and chicks and eggs have to do with the resurrection of Christ?
And again,
Modern, spiritual prophetic Babylon is portrayed as a woman who commits fornication with the kings of the earth > the history of Romanism is filled with concords and treaties and deals made with political powers and nations to gain more and have more influence among nations.
The world has been made drunk from the wine of that fornication > Why are there so many churches? Why so much wrangling and confusion in Christianity? It all stems from the interference of Rome down through the ages, light having to come out of darkness, preconceived opinions and beliefs held on to regardless of a thus saith the Lord, and unwillingness to be like noble Bereans and study for themselves, rather than rely on clergy for truth.
Her colors are purple and scarlet, she is adorned with gold and jewels > any image search will justify the claim purple and scarlet are Rome's colors, and all kinds of statues, images, crowns, crosses and the like are covered with gold, silver, jewels, and the riches of the earth.
She is covered with names of blasphemy > Again, the claim for men to be in place of God, the power to forgive sin, the Mass: the reenactment of the death of Christ over and over, 24 hours a day somewhere on Earth, the constant rejection of the Spirit of truth century after century, even changing the truth to whatever she feels like and deems necessary, and a host of other vilifications she has committed as the Mother of abominations.
She is a mother of harlots, other women who have committed fornication with the world > apostate Protestant churches still practice her doctrines. They are the Mother's daughters. They have yet to fully separate from her influences.
She has been made drunk with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus > Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. If you believe God grants you authority to kill dissidents and heretics for the betterment of the world, becoming drunk with such power is no stretch. Persecution, while apologized for by modern popes, has never been deleted from their doctrinal positions made down through the ages. If the Catholic Church can persecute, it will persecute, by its own admissions. The modern Papacy's cordial attitude towards other faiths is no more true or reliable than the Donation of Constantine.
“It has often been charged… that Catholicism is overlaid with many pagan incrustations. Catholicism is ready to accept that accusation and even to make it her boast… the great god Pan is not really dead, he is baptized” — The Story of Catholicism p. 37.
Rev 18:7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
Isa 47:8 Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
Isa 47:9 But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.
Isa 47:10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.
Zep 2:15 This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand.
The Catholic church has been around so long, just her time span convinces her she is the true church and will never come down. Prophecy states otherwise.
Based on that which we have studied thus far; Daniel, Revelation and other biblical evidence to reveal the antichrist beast of prophecy, not much would have to be added to show that list, partial at that, is enough information to show the Protestant Reformation had no trouble at all showing the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church was Babylon and had fallen. What they missed was the fact she is a mother of harlots, and the church groups who continue to practice the doctrines and traditions of Mother, are those harlots, as they, themselves, fornicate with the kings of the earth and their influence upon the world grows weaker with each generation, as truth gets more diluted with sophistry and confusion.
The prophecy states, "fallen, is fallen." The Catholic church fell centuries before the time of the Three Angel's messages should go out to the world in understood determination, back in the 1800's. Who then, is said to be fallen, twice? The daughters of the whore, who fell in their own ages, refusing to press on into more truth, and modern apostate Protestantism now cozying up to Mother, more and more with each passing decade.
Be assured, again, there are millions of sincere worshipers of God in all churches and groups, including well beyond confines of professed Christianity. The final call to the world states, Come out of her MY people. God's people are in Babylonian confusion and shall hear the call as time continues on, right to the close of Earth's history. The remnant shall be made up, make the final witness and stand, and Christ shall return in such power and glory it shall be the end of this world, it's sin and confusion.
Count on it. The Word of God cannot fail.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

443. RFK Jr. - December 5, 2021
A friend sent me a link to an interview Tucker Carlson did with Robert Kennedy Jr. I had just watched one the day before. He suffers from a rare condition called Spasmodic Dysphonia, which causes the voice to shake, or sound labored. It began in the 1990s. I remember hearing him speak when the condition was not present. It's quite a shock but, while his delivery is effected, his knowledge is not. It is amazing the amount of information and data the man can rattle off at will, off the top of his head.
Because of a story and link from InfoWars some time ago, I began my exposure to Kennedy's work reading a research paper he composed on the subject of vaccines and Autism. It was incredibly well documented. Logically, all this information and data is constantly rehearsed, interview to interview and article to article, and it's constantly refreshed. Still, he knows what he is talking about.
Every interview I have seen impresses me tremendously. The man is a force to reckon with, and yet, he is being vilified by the msm, by the acute care, drug hawking medical institution and pharmaceutical cabal, and by his own admission, even members of the Kennedy clan.
Listening to him, I marvel he's a lifelong Democrat. We are the same age, and I know what I have seen of the radical changes of the Democrat party so, certainly he has seen it, and now, faced with being marginalized, ostracized, with typical charges of "conspiracy theorist" being seen everywhere (just do a search for RFK Jr.), he has written a book about Fauci, the pharma cabal, Gates, deep state, and certainly Carlson was impressed to read the book and finish it into the early morning hours.
The interview is astonishing. I mean that, seriously. At the same time, Carlson's choice to ask people to listen beyond Kennedy's condition is telling. If his concern is accurate, he is acknowledging his audience may not have the depth of character necessary to obtain any usefulness from it.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/Wat8dWFnAiBH/
He laments the nature of current American politics, the control domestic enemies are using to tear apart the Constitution, the power of the money holders and all, and as I listened I began to realize that with all his facts, with all his passion, with all his place in D.C. society for decades, while the book will be a best seller, I cannot help but feel it will be preaching to the choir. Nothing will change.
He states at the close of the interview he wishes Democrats and Republicans would work together. Does it escape him they already do, as Republicrats/Demoblicans and that is why the nation is in the situation it is in? Traitors to their own platform exist in the GOP. Traitors to their oaths exist in majority numbers in both parties. Radical, Marxist Leftists are in control of the nation because the GOP traitorously rejected any responsibility to investigate the criminal activity that took place in last November's election. I have zero respect for Marxists, and no respect for cowardly traitors. They are destroying America, by design, and the current events of the last 5 years, planned and executed with great precision beginning over three decades ago, mean one thing to me: these people are not going to stop of any accord of their own. Trillions of dollars are at stake. The love of money is the root of all evil and unless they are stopped, no book by RFK Jr. is going to stop them. No books by any authors are going to halt the progress of their plans to change the world and control it.
When George Orwell wrote "1984" he took from actual events he saw that could expand very easily: two world wars and all the effects upon populations and civilizations from them, especially the Atom bomb; the rise of Communism in Russia, and other events caused him to write a novel that apparently was seen as more than a novel even back then, just a few years past the end of WW2. It's purpose was apparently satire, yet it became increasingly clear it was history in the making: reality.
I have never read the book. I have read so much about it, like here-
https://www.sparknotes.com/lit/1984/context/historical/why-orwell-wrote-1984/ - but, I never had the motivation to actually read it. I know people who have, and discussed it with them. I can see over the last four decades whatever is in Orwell's novel, line by line and thought by thought, has become moot. We have been steadily advancing in its basic premise all my lifetime. Now, we have one man, Anthony Fauci, controlling a medical narrative with a complicit, biased Press. As RFK states in the interview, everything but, the second amendment has been dismantled from Constitutional authority without a single instance of the rule of law being followed to do so. And people think a book by RFK on the Fauci/Gates cabal is going to stop these people from continuing to see their aims accomplished?
I have mentioned the need for citizens of the world to rise up for over a year but, consider the impact: let's say there are 10 million people in your nation. Far less than 1% physically protest your actions with words and deeds, and 60% of the rest are under your control already by fear you have created, or useful idiot, minion status aiding your cause and plans. The remaining numbers, whatever they think or believe, mean little, as they are only watching what develops. Just place those percentages to the populations of any nation. Are you going to worry? The military is under your control. The police forces are under your control. Over 3,000 Sheriffs in Office exist in 47 states in America. That can pose a real problem if they joined together but, as such, regardless of the powers they have, as elected civil servants, political divides exist that would make their presence in the current crisis fairly hampered.
People are quite excited about the influential prospects of RFK Jr's book. As much as the man impresses me, I can't get excited about any impact the book will have to stop this totalitarian takeover.
It is unlikely America will turn into Australia. On the other hand, the only thing that will stop the progress of the takeover of all rights and rule of law is the American populace stopping them. I have consistently asked, can that take place? I see no evidence of it thus far. The nation is not united enough to pull that off. So the book, as great and thorough as it might be, will only actually convince those refusing the injections they are right in doing so. The cabal could not care less, as long as those who can stop them are retained in their aid and abetting of the crimes.
"THE REAL ANTHONY FAUCI - Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health."
That title is right up the alley of the choir. Just listening to the interview I would trust everything in the book is accurate and yet, once again, we have a war on "democracy," NOT a war on the Republic and rule of law. Already the book displays a weakness in what is being warred upon, and for Kennedy to bring up the assault on the Bill of Rights in the interview is perplexing. That has become so common now it is almost pointless to address, though I believe I should and must, and leave the results with your own mind and thought process. America is not a Democracy. It is a Constitutional Republic employing some aspects of democracy under the rule of law, not a majority of citizen beliefs.
If you live in a state with protectors of the Constitution at the helm, things will go okay, even if struggles exist with Marxist influence in those states. Sheriffs can stop the progress of the cabal in individual counties. They have that kind of authority. Most Americans are not aware of that. I wasn't, until recently. The event has certainly caused reasons and openings for a lot of education. What it has also done is show the world that evil exists in monumental ways hidden behind titles like 'doctor,' 'expert,' "director,' and abbreviations like N.I.H., C.D.C. and W.H.O., and some people will stop at nothing to create and control anything that serves their control-freak nature. But, again, almost half the world seems to have lost the ability or desire to practice and utilize critical thinking. So much is falling upon blinded eyes and deaf ears.
I hate to be a downer or a killjoy but, if God does not step in, in some overt way to stop this, the world is going totalitarian. Billions will be debilitated or dead. The rest will be pushed into servitude. They do not care about babies, children, adults, the elderly, nobody. They do not care about humanity. They only care about themselves and "Mother Earth." They care more about Snail Darters than babies in wombs. That is sickness, mental aberration, neural disconnections of some kind, and certainly moral ineptitude.
We are watching darkness cover the Earth and gross darkness the people. And all we are beholding is not even what is yet to come in the fulfillment of prophecy about spiritual, prophetic Babylon. THEN we shall really behold lunacy on parade, and then God will definitely step in and make it known He is God and there is none other. It cannot come soon enough for me.
Until then, more and more will speak out. The book will become a best selling entity and RFK Jr. will be a hero and a fool in national and international eyes. Humanly speaking, very little, if anything will change and stop the progress of the elitist takeover of planet Earth.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

444. It Takes Millions - December 6, 2021
Having been someone that believes it takes millions of people to change things, not thousands (depending on your national population), when tyranny develops enough to completely remove liberty for a national populace, it was heartening to watch an interview with Australian, Graham Hood, on the Stew Peters program. Hood has been fearlessly speaking out about the tyranny the governments of his continent have employed to control the population there.
For those of us who have watched the despotism unfold 'down under,' it seems more like a Hollywood dystopian, 1984-like production blockbuster, where the beginning of a film portrays the tyranny before heroes rise up and change things. The problem has been lack of rising up in enough numbers to make a difference. Apparently, that is now changing.
Mr. Hood reports that more than a million citizens are taking to the streets to peacefully protest, and he mentions "cracks" are beginning to show in the tyrants' control.

The population of Australia is closing in on 26,000,000. Studies show it takes at least 3.5% of a population to peacefully protest to show enough people are against something to warrant change. In Australia's case, that's 910,000 citizens and they have exceeded that point, according to Graham Hood, and some video of the protests are shown to provide a backdrop for his comments.
If America gets to the place Australia has, it would take 11,655,000 citizens to make enough impact upon society and government to show the backlash to tyranny is serious enough to begin backing off.
I always go back to 1989 and the European Eastern Bloc. So many millions took to the streets Communism was overthrown overnight. Then came the protests in the USSR. By 1992, the world changed, literally. And yet, here we are today, with a handful of people around the globe controlling the lives of billions.
I have tried to stay hopeful but, I'm a realist. It did not seem enough Australians had the will to stand against the oppression placed upon them. I may have been wrong. America? Big crowds at Trump events are not going to cut it.
Most tyrants learn and know snake heads must be cut off to contain outbreaks of consistent dissension and dissidence. Graham Hood would be seen by the Australian government as a head of a snake of resistance. May God protect him. I'm surprised he has not already been arrested. Others have, just for posting resistance on social media.
Other nations, like Austria, Germany and Greece, are developing more and more tyranny, especially against the unvaxxed, even more so than fear-mongering about Covid, itself. As predicted by just about every Conservative news source, Omicron is a non-starter, even stated so by physicians from South Africa where it first showed itself but, the cabal is flagrantly crying out the sky is falling because of it. Now we find out information the mRNA technology is designed to produce variants!
Will enough people rise up in Europe to make a difference? Ursula Ven Der Leyen, head of the European Union Commission, has suggested discussion must now take place for the mandated injection of every citizen in the E.U. to stop the pandemic. Surely she knows, because the entire elitist cabal knows, the injected are the ones spreading the virus back and forth now, as people with natural immunity remain out of the discussion, or should be but, that's against the corporate-controlled narrative. Cries of throwing out the Nuremberg Code instantly hit the web at Van Der Leyen's suggestion. And, of course, the msm misinformation, disinformation campaign has been underway for awhile trying to convince readers and listeners the Code is not violated by injection mandates. Lies like that have become so prevalent, the reasons to trust anything stated by corporate controlled news have evaporated. A school child could read the Code and recognize the violation of it by mandated injections of an experimental "vaccine," especially for an illness over 98% of people recover from, and the vast majority of those who do not are the elderly with weakened immune systems. Add in all the products and remedies available to treat the illness, there is ZERO REASON for any vaccines or mandates, at all.
It remains to be seen if 3.5% of the world's citizens will rise up in protest against the tyranny and see to it the harassment, oppression, and even persecution, cease.
In some cases, depending on governments and law structures, individual states can lead the way. Florida, under the leadership of governor Ron DeSantis and the state legislature, has resisted the federal tyranny, and the state has the lowest case numbers in the nation. State by state, where the rule of law means anything, could see freedom and liberty restored to God given status it must retain.
At this point, extremely sad to say, DeSantis and Florida seem to be the only state taking concrete stands against D.C. corruption.
As the mandates continue and over 1 million truck drivers leave their work rather than take the injections, the economy is going to wobble, if not be stretched to snapping.
I'll tell you what, if ever anything raised its head to show China should not be the world's manufacturer of goods and supplies, this is it. Made In America should NEVER have been replaced with Made in China but, that's another subject.
I'm not into predicting things. I believe in principles and when they are violated, the number of things that can go wrong exponentially increase. I only know the world is coming to its end, again. If I'm alive to see it, so be it. If I go to sleep, so be it. As the world gets crazier, the closeness of the event draws energy for God's people, and vice versa.
Hang on. It's going to be a bumpy ride.
For those of us who have watched the despotism unfold 'down under,' it seems more like a Hollywood dystopian, 1984-like production blockbuster, where the beginning of a film portrays the tyranny before heroes rise up and change things. The problem has been lack of rising up in enough numbers to make a difference. Apparently, that is now changing.

445. Confusion Is Not A Place - December 7, 2021
Confusion is not a place. It's a condition. Confusion results from a combining of truth and error. The mind cannot decide what is right in that mixture. Confusion results from opposing information attempted to be put together. Call it water and oil if you will. Those are the classic elements that do not mix.
The subject of spiritual, prophetic Babylon is not about places. It's about people with a spiritual condition. Places can be and are involved but, those places exist because of the condition of confusion.
The angelic host became confused by the sophistries of Lucifer and one third of them were ultimately cast out of Heaven.
Eve became confused by Lucifer's deceptions in the Garden.
When the Hebrews went into Egypt, at first as a gracious invitation, it became abject slavery for 400 years. When the Exodus took place, the condition of confusion among two million people composed of Hebrews and Egyptians who left with them, caused constant problems, so much so Moses just wanted to die from the frustration, pressures and stress.
The Hebrews were taken captive by surrounding nations numerous times. The captivity to Babylon is the second most well-known instance of corporate bondage, next to their Egyptian captivity. When the people were given freedom from Babylonian and then Persian servitude, only 50,000 of over 1,000,000 people left. The confusion of their environments in the cultures of Babylon and Persia caused them to get used to it all and the majority chose to stay, rather than go back to their homeland. Over time, more left and returned to Jerusalem, after the original groups who left rebuilt the city but, never was there a time in Hebrew history where a condition of confusion did not cause them severe problems.
How many churches, denominations, fellowships, groups and all that exist today, would have existed or exist now, were Christ here on Earth, preaching and teaching? One. Just one.
It's important to remember that disagreements and confusion existed soon after Christ returned to Heaven.
The ministry of the former member of the Sanhedrin, Saul of Tarsus (the apostle Paul), became such a contested matter, the first Christian counsel was called together to address him and his teachings and how different parties saw the results; all written in Acts 15. The issue was a serious confusion about the "Law of Moses," God's laws Moses wrote down in a book, that gave guidance, instructions and commands about the expected life of the new nation taken out of Egypt.
Later in Acts 15, Paul and Barnabas had a disagreement over the usefulness of the young convert, John Mark.
Act 15:37 And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.
Act 15:38 But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
Act 15:39 And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;
Act 15:40 And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.
They were pretty worked up, to be sure, and these were men who loved each other in the faith and traveled together as they evangelized. Paul and Barnabas had disagreements that turned into a fierce argument over John Mark's character and his actions. Paul was confused.
At one point in Paul's ministry he had to confront the apostle Peter.
Gal 2:11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
Peter was acting the hypocrite towards Gentile converts and Paul confronted him about it. Peter was confused.
The church at Corinth had a whole lot of problems and each chapter of that book, the first letter Paul sent to that congregation, contains counsel addressing those issues and complications that existed. The church at Corinth had a lot of confusion in it over who to follow:
1Cor 1:11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
1Cor 1:12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
1Cor 1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
Corinth had doctrinal problems, practice problems, male/female issues, decorum issues... Corinth was a mass of confusion, being a major seaport that was a Mediterranean hotspot. Anything and everything could be found there. The church became so infused with the spirit of the environment it was a total mess. There was a member sleeping with his father's wife and Paul told them he needed to be removed, asap.
1Cor 5:1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
Paul warned of an apostasy so great it caused him tremendous heartache and tears:
Act 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
Act 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
Act 20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
Act 20:31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
The church at the center of the empire had its own problems: the body of believers in Rome. Paul opens Romans with commendation of the faith of that church, so great, the whole world heard of it. By the time he closes the letter:
Rom 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
Rom 16:18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
Peter, Jude and John all wrote things to address confusion that befell or would befall the body of Christ and divide it. Things happened within, not pressures without, that did tremendous damage to the faith, including giving rise to the man of sin, the son of perdition, the little horn beast power of prophecy and the great Mother whore and her daughters. Do you understand how dangerous confusion is?
By the close of the first century large divisions had taken place in the original church, the body of Christ. The matter was laid out before the apostle John, in the Revelation:
Rev 2:1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
Rev 2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
Rev 2:3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
Rev 2:4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
Rev 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
Rev 2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Rev 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
Putting aside the opening imagery, the first church era had a great deal of good to commend and some serious faults to address and correct. They left their first love, that free and clean experience of coming to Christ, being born again; the peace, the joy, the wonder, the strength of purpose, the changes, all of that was defeated and the era fell into contention among brethren. The Lord points out one particular group, the Nicolaitans, that caused a lot of problems.
Many more examples could be placed here. Confusion among the ancient Israelites, confusion among the early Christians, confusion today exists because of a condition. Places and people can be specifically added into it all but, the condition arises when people will not do what God commands. If they are born into confusion of any kind, God has the task of working out the circumstances of each and every life to bring them from spiritual darkness into some degree of light. In God's great plan, the duration of each life may be very different and God works to bring people along as each one has capacity to cooperate.
Regardless of where you sit for a religious service, the condition of Babylon, of confusion can exist.
Right now, as I type, the vast majority of the world's population is in such confusion the world literally seems to be going mad. Well, it is.
In the Hebrew, words translated "confusion" in the KJV mean "mixture," or "shame," "disgrace," a "confounded" - "disappointment," "empty, worthless, desolation," and in the Greek, "instability," and "disorder."
Jeremiah said it well:
Jer 3:25 We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.
That sums up religious confusion. It held true at the tower of Babel, it held true for ages before and after Christ, and it holds true today.
Then the issue arises, what do people not obey? The voice of the Lord. What is that supposed to mean?
The Messiah said it well:
Matt 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
He was quoting Deuteronomy 8:3. There's another passage in Deuteronomy that bears notice to this subject:
Deu 12:29 When the Lord thy God shall have destroyed before thy face the nations, which thou shalt go in to possess, and when thou shalt possess them, and dwell in their land:
Deu 12:30 Beware lest thou imitate them, after they are destroyed at thy coming in, and lest thou seek after their ceremonies, saying: As these nations have worshipped their gods, so will I also worship.
Deu 12:31 Thou shalt not do in like manner to the Lord thy God. For they have done to their gods all the abominations which the Lord abhorreth, offering their sons and daughters, and burning them with fire.
Deu 12:32 What I command thee, that only do thou to the Lord: neither add any thing, nor diminish.
What you just read is from the Douay Rheims Bible, the Roman Catholic translation. How then, did the Roman church get so confused and change so much and corrupt so much? The very process of mixing is condemned by God. His people are not to take anything from paganism, heathenism, abject worldliness and mix it into His religion, His faith, His church, His law, or His character. The nation of Israel, the early church, the modern church are all guilty of mixing things into the faith that do not belong there. Our lives become a mixture of things that do not belong there and more confusion results. Once the confusion sets in, it can be extremely difficult to be rescued from it. Drowning people get confused by their environment and can thrash and whip up a frenzy, making rescue difficult, if not even dangerous to a rescuer.
Plenty of professed Christians say to themselves, "I'm not a Roman Catholic, I'm not a Protestant, I'm not a pagan or heathen. I don't do what they do. I'm okay."
That is the exact opposite of the truth. What did Christ state to the Laodicean church, representing the era we now live in?
Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Rev 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
That's an awful condition. It is no different than being in Babylon because Babylon in prophetic reasoning is not a place. It's a condition that affects people in various places.
What did Christ say to the women at the well?
The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:19-24
People get caught up into places, buildings, organizations, institutions and the like. They can misplace their lives as a result.
Jesus said God is looking for people who will worship Him in Spirit and in truth: intelligently, thoughtfully, reasonably, rationally, faithfully in the Word of God.
God calls people out of Babylon, out of confusion: misplaced allegiance and loyalty, misplaced obedience to mixtures of empty, worthless disorder. It does not matter where you sit for a religious service. It does not matter if you never sit in a place of religious worship and think those that do are weak and foolish. If you have the condition of spiritual confusion on anything God has spoken upon, in truth, you're in Babylon and need to get out of it and onto the platform of eternal truth, led by Spirit of God, Who guides into all truth.
Wars have been fought, literally for centuries over religion. As many or more people have been killed in the name of religion than all other reasons combined. Why? Confusion.
We all suffer from it to some degree. We are all products of our daily environments and the entrapments the Enemy has set up for each of us.
The time to come out of confusion is now.
One the THE biggest areas of modern Babylonian error of confusion and entrapment is that the ten commandments, some or all of them, as written by God, Himself, are not important anymore. They are gone, done away and serve no purpose, no standard, no judge of character. The confusion of that erroneous belief will cause more people to slip, if not hurdle into death, than most other mixtures of Satan's lies combined. Another is that humans have ghostlike entities living inside them that get out at death. Another is that once a person connects to Christ, that connection cannot be broken. Another is that Christ comes in some divided event; secretly first and then seven years later in power and glory and a big rebuilding party takes place on earth for a thousand years. Having taught on those subjects for decades, and placed before people the incredible amount of information the Bible gives us, to explain itself, it has astounded me people can, so easily be led astray and fight tooth and nail to preserve their errors and religious idols from exposure.
Confusion works, that's why Satan uses it so effectively. It is growing, it is going to envelope the Earth in finality, save for those shrouded by the glory of God's light of truth that shall encompass the globe. And then shall the end come.
If you do not know God, get to know Him. If you know Him, examine yourself whether you be in the faith; Christ's faith; His way, His truth, and His life.
Christ is coming. I hope we'll all be together with Him, when He heads back home with His redeemed.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
The subject of spiritual, prophetic Babylon is not about places. It's about people with a spiritual condition. Places can be and are involved but, those places exist because of the condition of confusion.
The angelic host became confused by the sophistries of Lucifer and one third of them were ultimately cast out of Heaven.

Right now, as I type, the vast majority of the world's population is in such confusion the world literally seems to be going mad. Well, it is.
In the Hebrew, words translated "confusion" in the KJV mean "mixture," or "shame," "disgrace," a "confounded" - "disappointment," "empty, worthless, desolation," and in the Greek, "instability," and "disorder."
Jeremiah said it well:
Jer 3:25 We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.
That sums up religious confusion. It held true at the tower of Babel, it held true for ages before and after Christ, and it holds true today.
Then the issue arises, what do people not obey? The voice of the Lord. What is that supposed to mean?
The Messiah said it well:
Matt 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
He was quoting Deuteronomy 8:3. There's another passage in Deuteronomy that bears notice to this subject:
Deu 12:29 When the Lord thy God shall have destroyed before thy face the nations, which thou shalt go in to possess, and when thou shalt possess them, and dwell in their land:
Deu 12:30 Beware lest thou imitate them, after they are destroyed at thy coming in, and lest thou seek after their ceremonies, saying: As these nations have worshipped their gods, so will I also worship.
Deu 12:31 Thou shalt not do in like manner to the Lord thy God. For they have done to their gods all the abominations which the Lord abhorreth, offering their sons and daughters, and burning them with fire.
Deu 12:32 What I command thee, that only do thou to the Lord: neither add any thing, nor diminish.
What you just read is from the Douay Rheims Bible, the Roman Catholic translation. How then, did the Roman church get so confused and change so much and corrupt so much? The very process of mixing is condemned by God. His people are not to take anything from paganism, heathenism, abject worldliness and mix it into His religion, His faith, His church, His law, or His character. The nation of Israel, the early church, the modern church are all guilty of mixing things into the faith that do not belong there. Our lives become a mixture of things that do not belong there and more confusion results. Once the confusion sets in, it can be extremely difficult to be rescued from it. Drowning people get confused by their environment and can thrash and whip up a frenzy, making rescue difficult, if not even dangerous to a rescuer.
Plenty of professed Christians say to themselves, "I'm not a Roman Catholic, I'm not a Protestant, I'm not a pagan or heathen. I don't do what they do. I'm okay."
That is the exact opposite of the truth. What did Christ state to the Laodicean church, representing the era we now live in?
Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Rev 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
That's an awful condition. It is no different than being in Babylon because Babylon in prophetic reasoning is not a place. It's a condition that affects people in various places.
What did Christ say to the women at the well?
The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:19-24
People get caught up into places, buildings, organizations, institutions and the like. They can misplace their lives as a result.
Jesus said God is looking for people who will worship Him in Spirit and in truth: intelligently, thoughtfully, reasonably, rationally, faithfully in the Word of God.
God calls people out of Babylon, out of confusion: misplaced allegiance and loyalty, misplaced obedience to mixtures of empty, worthless disorder. It does not matter where you sit for a religious service. It does not matter if you never sit in a place of religious worship and think those that do are weak and foolish. If you have the condition of spiritual confusion on anything God has spoken upon, in truth, you're in Babylon and need to get out of it and onto the platform of eternal truth, led by Spirit of God, Who guides into all truth.
Wars have been fought, literally for centuries over religion. As many or more people have been killed in the name of religion than all other reasons combined. Why? Confusion.
We all suffer from it to some degree. We are all products of our daily environments and the entrapments the Enemy has set up for each of us.
The time to come out of confusion is now.
One the THE biggest areas of modern Babylonian error of confusion and entrapment is that the ten commandments, some or all of them, as written by God, Himself, are not important anymore. They are gone, done away and serve no purpose, no standard, no judge of character. The confusion of that erroneous belief will cause more people to slip, if not hurdle into death, than most other mixtures of Satan's lies combined. Another is that humans have ghostlike entities living inside them that get out at death. Another is that once a person connects to Christ, that connection cannot be broken. Another is that Christ comes in some divided event; secretly first and then seven years later in power and glory and a big rebuilding party takes place on earth for a thousand years. Having taught on those subjects for decades, and placed before people the incredible amount of information the Bible gives us, to explain itself, it has astounded me people can, so easily be led astray and fight tooth and nail to preserve their errors and religious idols from exposure.
Confusion works, that's why Satan uses it so effectively. It is growing, it is going to envelope the Earth in finality, save for those shrouded by the glory of God's light of truth that shall encompass the globe. And then shall the end come.
If you do not know God, get to know Him. If you know Him, examine yourself whether you be in the faith; Christ's faith; His way, His truth, and His life.
Christ is coming. I hope we'll all be together with Him, when He heads back home with His redeemed.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

446. MTG, Kyle and Wood. Not a Power Trio - December 9, 2021
I have written or mentioned those three people before. More so, Wood, being Lin Wood, the Georgia attorney, on his 1776 speech he gave at a rally addressing election fraud. That was quite some time ago. Attorney turned preacher in that one. From my point of view, pretty inspirational and every interview I saw him in portrayed a calm, articulate, erudite Southern gentleman who knew what he was saying and doing and why.
Kyle Rittenhouse... yeah. Walk around with an AR-15 in the midst of a riot of lunatic Leftist protestors burning, looting, wrecking a city and see what happens. Yes, his decision to do so was legal; something detractors are ignorant of and even when they find out the truth of that, they still want the kid hung. Calling him a white supremacist is just plain stupid. Nobody shot was a "person of color," a term I am so tired of hearing, for reasons I have mentioned plenty of times now. Everybody is a shade of brown. Nobody's count of skin melanin makes them any different than any other human being. There is the human race and no other, regardless of skin pigment.
Kyle worked as a lifeguard in Kenosha. He claimed he wanted to protect the city his father lived in, which he considers 'my community.' Seems he should have stayed on his father's front porch or in the driveway to do that (if he has a front porch), to protect his dad's property. Roving out into the trenches of the political poop, for a 17 yr. old... not a move I imagine his mother or father would endorse but... in the course of events he offered to protect a car dealer's lot from any rioters. ??? Things went downhill from there.
Margorie Taylor-Green, outspoken GOP Congresswoman, speaks a great game but... I have been left unimpressed the more I am exposed to her.
One might think the three of them would make a pretty good power trio. Not.
I don't know them. I have no burden to put them down but, all of sudden a situation has arisen involving them.
Rittenhouse goes on television and does an interview with Tucker Carlson. I just watched some of it, and read the transcript, to make sure anything I type is accurate. Like I said before, excruciatingly simple self-defense and only radical Leftists would see it otherwise. The jury saw it for what it was. That said - again - going on Carlson's program Rittenhouse seemed like a typical teenager, on the "nice kid" side of things, someone who had no business carrying a weapon in the midst of a 'war zone' in America. Even being 18 now, he hardly seems someone you put in uniform and place them on a battlefield, like millions of 18 year old kids have been in American history. 'Naive' just constantly came to mind, and yet there was a constant profusion of, almost seemingly scripted things the guy said, like he was coached. And Carlson was totally softball and gave the kid an easy pathway. No, I do not believe Carlson should have acted the devil's advocate and interviewed him the way typical Leftists would but, c'mon. They spoke before the interview and it just seemed more a whiffle ball process. This is 2020 we're talking about, not the 1940s. Most 17 year old boys are pretty street smart by that age. Only kids living in very rural areas, homeschooled, etc., would have a natural Lassie come home, Timmy-kind-of-vibe.
He had some odd things to say. He goes off on a tangent about his original attorneys, Lin Wood and John Pierce. ??? He didn't know what a militia is? He supports the BLM movement, an organization run by avowed communists whose intention is to ruin principles of Americanism? He was not surprised by the verdict but, when it came he collapsed like a house of cards? He looked off camera one too many times for me. Not in a way to collect his thoughts but, as though people were there he wanted to connect with. Attorney's? Family? They just came at odd moments. He's not into politics but, speaks pretty concise statements about rights and rule of law subjects? His comment about the FBI?
I had seen comments he thinks the 2020 election was fair and honest but, unless I missed it, I didn't see it in the transcript. The whole interview seemed... something wrong took place in some way. A nice kid, yeah. That said, something rubbed me the wrong way.
This all came about because I saw an interview with Lin Wood on the Stew Peters program, and apparently Lin Wood has been excoriated since Rittenhouse's comments. Many well-known Conservatives are trashing him. Trashing an attorney? That is plain stupid on the face of it. You'd better have more than the testimony of an 18 year old kid to back you up if you are going to say things about an attorney of Wood's stature. He expressed himself as usual, showing actual evidence of what went down, and listening to Kyle and then to Wood... again something is really off the wall here. Rittenhouse is already under the shadow of possible federal charges, if they pursue it. I would not a lawsuit from Lin Wood over me, as well.
And Green goes off and decides to try and get Rittenhouse a Medal of Honor? Seriously? I mean SERIOUSLY? A Medal of Honor? Kyle Rittenhouse did nothing to deserve such an honor. That's absolutely ridiculous. People do not receive Medals of Honor for simply defending themselves. They receive Medals of Honor for heroics above and beyond the call of duty; mind blowing stuff typical soldiers do not do in times of war. Green is allegedly saying things about Wood, stoking the fire.
I comment on all this because we are truly living in a time when you simply do not know who to trust. One or two of this triad of public figures is either lying or ignorant of things they should know. None of them have any excuses, not even young Rittenhouse, who seemed not just honest but, coached for that Carlson interview. Call me jaded. Call me suspicious. I just see something wrong and if Rittenhouse believes he has been publicly defamed by everybody from the non-president on down, Wood certainly has been, and I'd expect lawsuits are going to fly like flocks of birds heading South for the winter.
America, the current nation, is hardly America anymore. Rittenhouse will be hounded by radicals the rest of his life. Wood is retiring, apparently so, his career will not be affected but, his name certainly has and will be. Green... I have come to see her as all talk, and silly to no action. Those who are in Conservative communication, to not contact Wood and get his side before making public statements? Man, that's not only vacant of any principles of sound journalism but, disingenuous from the standpoint of Conservatism.
Wood claims it's a deep state psyop. Wouldn't surprise me, at all.
Who gets used, who stands true ground, who makes deals, who turns coat colors, who speaks truth?
Good luck trying to figure it out these days.
For me, you know the answer. God and His Word. That cannot fail me.
Kyle Rittenhouse... yeah. Walk around with an AR-15 in the midst of a riot of lunatic Leftist protestors burning, looting, wrecking a city and see what happens. Yes, his decision to do so was legal; something detractors are ignorant of and even when they find out the truth of that, they still want the kid hung.

IGNORANCE
Don't get me wrong here. I greatly appreciate the work that The Gateway Pundit does. The Hoft Brothers and their team have been on the money for every event that has taken place since I first came across their site. Their investigations are consistently proven correct, time and time again.
That said, just going there now to check the day's news, I am sitting here shaking my head at what I see. The Headline: PURE EVIL: The United Nations Unveils a Statute at its NYC Headquarters that Resembles the Beast from the Book of Revelation
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/12/pure-evil-united-nations-unveils-statute-nyc-headquarters-resembles-beast-book-revelations/
Yeah, no. It does not. Not even close. To me it looks more like a modern version of a Babylonian winged lion, well known in antiquity.
Then I decided to just do a search and see if any images other than the one shown in the article exist, and found this headline: UN HEADQUARTERS: STATUE OF LION WITH WINGS AS DESCRIBED IN DANIEL’S DREAM ERECTED
https://www.israel365news.com/263929/un-headquarters-statue-of-lion-with-wings-as-described-in-daniels-dream-erected/
And there you go. Interesting the Israeli news outlet pegged it, and GP missed it by 600 years.
This is the kind of ignorance that exists in spiritual, prophetic Babylon. Just reading the text, seeing the description of the Beast of Rev 13 would show anyone the statue and the vision are nothing alike and yet, the GP article quotes the verses. I can only scratch my head. Some people want prophecy to be fulfilled so badly they clutch at anything they think resembles prophetic literature, from the Bible to Nostradamus to some sage from antiquity.
I'm not fan of the UN. Far from it. Frankly, the statue does not look very regal. Then I read the Israeli news article and the cosmetics of the statue made perfect sense:
"A statue with Biblical implications has been erected recently outside the United Nations headquarters in New York City. The statue, entitled the ‘guardian for international peace and security, is situated on the Visitor’s Plaza outside UN Headquarters. According to the UN, the ‘guardian’ is a “fusion of jaguar and eagle.” It was donated by the Government of Oaxaca, Mexico."
Notice the wording - guardian for international peace and security. Now take a look at something from the First letter to the Thessalonians:
1Thes 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
1Thes 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
That's the KJV and many other translations. How about another version:
1Thes 5:3 For when they shall say: Peace and security; then shall sudden destruction come upon them, as the pains upon her that is with child, and they shall not escape.
That is the Douay Rheims, Roman Catholic version.
As it happens, the Greek word translated "safety," is asphaleia and it literally means "security."
Safety is a feeling or state of being safe from harm or danger. Security is the actual process or act of making things secure from harm or danger. Peace and security implies actions taken by the world to make itself secure from some kind of outside threat or danger. Remember all the things I have mentioned about the entire UFO/UAP subject and what lies ahead.
Anyway, never forget this point. The Roman Catholic Church and its Papacy is called 'Mother' of abominations for a reason. There is nothing on Earth she does not have tentacles into, in some way, shape or form. While most nations consider themselves way too sophisticated to be bound by religious ideals, Rome is Rome, and nothing stops her from gaining ground in world affairs where she can, by stealth.
I also saw a recent "insider" article claiming Francis is dying, possibly from cancer and things are underway to prepare the next conclave to elect a new pope, sometime in 2022. Whether or not that is true remains to be seen but, the Vatican, with all it surface problems and scandals, is never to be counted out of world affairs, ever.
Articles like this new one in GP, making claims about Revelation, just keep creating unfortunate distractions through biblical ignorance. It behooves people to study the Bible for themselves because those who do not will be led astray.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Real, Not Rare
realnotrare.com
The Fauci/Gates/Pharma/Leftist Press cabal just keeps telling the world, "Keep moving along. Nothing to see here. Everything is OK. Just take your shots and boosters and we'll beat Covid."
Lies.
realnotrare.com is a website devoted to real people, having real adverse reactions which are ubiquitous, multitudinous, ever growing and not rare.
It's an important website. It's a necessary website. It's a challenging website.
People pleading for help because their lives have been adversely effected by an experimental drug; a genetic modification code inserted into their bodies by injection, based on false trust.
Of course there has never been a drug that someone has not had an adverse reaction to. No one argues that. But now, MILLIONS of people have been affected by any of over 2 dozen serious side effects, and NO INFORMED CONSENT WAS OFFERED. NO WARNINGS. NOTHING but, TRUST US. WE ARE THE SCIENCE.
Well, that last line is very true. They used science to develop something killing people, maiming people, rendering once vibrant and healthy people of all ages bedridden, debilitated, or dead.
The website is not pejorative. They are not about investigations. They are about pleading for help. No one can help them. Their bodies and minds are under attack from a genetic code and diabolical elements in the fluids being injected. There is no help. There is no cure. Not yet.
Physicians around the world, now awake to the dangers, are working feverishly to find a remedy to remove the mRNA from human cells. If they do not, they know this is a planetary changing event of the darkest, most psychopathic minds known to human history.
Millions will turn into billions, at some point in the future. Real people. Not statistics. Not percentages.

447. Does Opposition Prove Truth? - December 10, 2021
"If you don't have opposition, then you are not a threat. ... you shouldn't antagonize and try to create opposition but, you should welcome it as a sign you are on the right track, when you get it."
Before I state who said that, I know that sentiment is a prevalent one in Conservative circles of any kind, secular or religious. And, it probably exists in Leftist circles, as well. Why not? It's an open-ended philosophy.
When I was in ministry I could not tell you how many people came up to me after a discourse and told me the conference (the leadership) is against you so, keep it up. You're doing something right," or "You're doing God's work," or "You're preaching the truth, Brother," simply because leadership opposed me.
In thinking about that, I ended up making comments against that sentiment, in sermons.
First, doesn't that depend on who is being discussed? I am opposed to Communism. Should a Communist feel they are on the right track because I am opposed to their ideology? Don't you think Communists tell each other, "You are being opposed, Comrade so, you know you are on the right track." Do you figure Joe Biden is not surrounded by people telling him he's on the right track because Conservatives oppose his administration and its direction of dismantling the Republic?
Just because you create opposition does not mean you are on the right track. Empirical evidence based on some authoritative source determines if you are on the right track, according to the source and nothing more. It does not matter if dozens or hundreds or thousands approve. Every person in history has found ways to gain and hold an audience, including incredibly evil and wicked people with nothing but, despotic intentions they thought made sense. That source we go by is either correct information or it is not, based on... exactly. Tell me what world view is absolute for everybody's thinking and practical application to life? It does not exist. I can tell you what one I believe should be used. I can tell you what one I do use. Whether or not anyone else uses it, is the issue.
Just because I had a life changing experience in 1979, regarding the Christian faith, and my belief, the Bible is the truth, and give reasons for that belief and experience, in no way means if atheists attack me I must be on the right track. That assessment can only work when two parties agree on the source, the standard by which a right track can be determined. How many people have that in this world? I believe radical, militant Islam is a danger to the population of our world. I make no apologies for that position. If I receive opposition from Muslims, does that mean I am on the right track? How? The same way that they feel they are on the right track because I oppose their religion? How does that work? It doesn't.
If leadership in the denomination I used to belong to opposed things I proclaimed and stood for, a reason why must be ascertained and examined. Logically, an outsider would say, "Don't you all believe the same doctrines?" The answer should logically be, Yes. If No is the answer, why? That means somebody believes something erroneous that is shaping their positions and responses. Confusion and conflict cannot creep in where people are on the same page.
Leadership accused me of all kinds of stuff. Given the chance to speak for myself I could easily show people mistakes to out and out lies being told about me. Yes, misinformation and disinformation campaigns exist in churches, too, sadly enough. Lucifer began the very first one, in Heaven. He's still at it. He will be until he is reduced to ashes.
There is no empirical evidence that can show just because someone opposes you, you are on the right track. Heretics have opposition. Heretics are convinced they are on the right track but, they are heretics. Roman Catholics are often opposed to what I believe, as a Protestant 'heretic.' Does that prove I am correct? Absolutely not. The only thing that proves I am correct is a Thus Saith The Lord, found in the Book. That proves it to me, regardless of opposition, because the Roman Catholic Church believes and teaches the living church and magisterium is more important than the word of God, the Bible. So, me being opposed to a Roman Catholic's doctrines is no proof they are on the right track because they do not hold to the same source and standard of determining truth as I do.
Do you see the dilemma?
This can come down to the very fine line of work upon the conscience the Holy Spirit is involved with. Based on the Bible, the atheist, like I was, has no reason to become a Christian just because of written information found in the Bible. The Holy Spirit's work upon my conscience made the difference. That was not a Bible instructor or some preacher. That was internal, within me, and had to be reckoned with. Conscience is beyond human understanding. That's because it is of divine origin. Do you believe any other empirical evidence exists for another source? Mutations? E.T.? If that is your source, how do you make authoritative?
So, who stated the opening remarks? I was answering a reply to one of my YT videos when I saw in the side bar a video by actor, John Schneider, about the Alex Baldwin shooting situation, on the set of the movie, Rust. I had seen an interview Schneider did on Fox news, on YT. I know John is a professed Christian, and a political Conservative in a very Leftist community, he has pretty much left behind and started his own thing. I didn't know he had a YT channel so, I checked it out. The opening statement is from a live segment he did, walking around town, broadcasting it.
I agree with everything John states about gun safety protocols on the set of a movie and in general. He began using such gun-safety protocols back in 1975, he states in one of his recent videos. And many of the principles he espouses in the live broadcast make perfect sense to me but, for John to tell people, if they receive opposition they can know they are on the right track, is a misnomer. Matter of fact, as a gun owner himself, I was intrigued by comments that stated some things he said were incorrect. Not heavy opposition by any means but, should Schneider then conclude he is on the right track because someone opposed something he stated? Well, that must depend on a mutually agreed upon standard source for gun mechanics and operation.
The reason people in this nation go back and forth is because no standard source of information all agree upon as absolute, exists. At one time the Constitution and Founding documents were that source. All might have agreed on the limitations those principles placed upon elected civil servants but, issues come up that the Founders could not have addressed. What then? Such develops the differences between political parties. But, even there, should AOC think she is on the right track because people in her own party oppose her? God forbid. From my point of view she is a radical, big-government socialist. I can be guaranteed my opposition would be seen by her that she is on the right track. The Constitution and Bill of Rights do not back her up and should give her no confidence she is on the right track. If that source is removed, it's just majority wins; which is a pure democracy, something the Founders saw as very dangerous to freedom and liberty. That is why they established the nation as a Constitutional Republic with a representative form of government, employing some particular aspects of a democracy. Otherwise the nation should run on the rule of law, not whims of a majority.
This notion of opposition proves truth is a mess-maker, if ever there was one.
In Christ's day, people told Him the leaders were upset with Him, He should tone it down some. Did He? Did it propel Him because He knew they were against Him? No. His standard and source for what He taught and did was the Father in Heaven and His written word, which was the Old Testament at that time. For the leaders it was the rabbinical commentaries that had more clout than the very word of God they were supposed to be guardians of. They couldn't even agree with each other. Paul set off a huge argument between the two major groups just by stating the resurrection as a fact. The Sadducees did not believe in a resurrection, while the Pharisees did.
It is a fact Christ just bypassed the entire system and called His own disciples and began what could be considered a church within a church, and time and events would separate them in totality at some point. Christ did not speak truth because He was opposed. Christ spoke truth because He is the truth, the living embodiment of every heavenly principle stated in the Bible. He fulfilled prophecies spoken of Him centuries before His time on Earth. He predicted future events Himself, and is constantly proven true yet, only for those who accept the authoritative source for truth - the word of God.
The reason conflict exists in this world is because people cannot or will not accept a mutual standardized, authoritative source of information as absolute truth. In America, elected civil servants do not even agree that source is the Constitution and Bill of Rights, anymore.
Millions of people have been shown the fulfillment of prophecies and yet, they make to decision to put their lives in God's hands. I don't know if prophecies exist in the Quran or other religious texts. Seeing for myself the accuracy of Bible prophecy convinced me, as an atheist, God is real, God is, and I had a decision to make. I made it.
Conflict exists because no authoritative source exists for all, that all accept. That leads to confusion. That confusion is the mind of Babylon.
That is the choice. The mind of Christ or the mind of spiritual Babylon.
I don't know how much time remains in this world. I'd make a choice today. You don't know if you will live past the moment you read this. There are zero guarantees of daily life for any one us; especially now, right now in this age of technological and "medical" take over.
It's dangerous time.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Before I state who said that, I know that sentiment is a prevalent one in Conservative circles of any kind, secular or religious. And, it probably exists in Leftist circles, as well. Why not? It's an open-ended philosophy.
When I was in ministry I could not tell you how many people came up to me after a discourse and told me the conference (the leadership) is against you so, keep it up. You're doing something right," or "You're doing God's work," or "You're preaching the truth, Brother," simply because leadership opposed me.
In thinking about that, I ended up making comments against that sentiment, in sermons.
First, doesn't that depend on who is being discussed? I am opposed to Communism. Should a Communist feel they are on the right track because I am opposed to their ideology? Don't you think Communists tell each other, "You are being opposed, Comrade so, you know you are on the right track." Do you figure Joe Biden is not surrounded by people telling him he's on the right track because Conservatives oppose his administration and its direction of dismantling the Republic?
Just because you create opposition does not mean you are on the right track. Empirical evidence based on some authoritative source determines if you are on the right track, according to the source and nothing more.

448. The Fall of Babylon, Parts 1, 2 and 3 - December 11, 2021
The Judgment of the Mother of Harlots.
Some recap. Based on the books of Daniel, Revelation, Old Testament and New Testament writers, and the march of history, itself, only one power has existed that can meet all the marks and descriptions in prophecy for Antichrist, the Beast, and the great apostasy from the early body of Christ: the Roman Catholic Church and its Papacy.
As shocking and offensive as that is to people (understandably so), down through the centuries, those who take the position ask - Can you provide the world with another power that meets all the marks placed upon this dangerous religio/political power of prophecy? No king, no other religion, including Islam, which a lot of evangelicals go for, and why? Because they make the mistake of believing Israel has a major place in last-day events. It does not. It can not. Prophecies concerning literal Israel ended in the first century. Prophecies that seem to predict the nation of Israel rising in the 1940s address the return of the people from Babylonian/Persian captivity millennia ago. How did those prophecies become central to prophetic interpretation? The Roman Catholic Jesuit priest and writer Francisco Ribera, the father of Futurism.
Ribera's positions were championed by another Jesuit priest at the time of the 16th century Reformation, Cardinal Roberto Bellarmino. Bellarmine had written debates with Martin Luther. So great was his influence in Catholic history he was canonized as a saint in 1930 and proclaimed a Doctor of the Church.
Ribera's position hung on the premise all prophecy stopped with the fall of the Roman empire and would not find meaning again until the end of time, after the "raptura" of the church, which is a dead give away where the concept began, and then the Antichrist, a single individual would be revealed during a seven year period of great upheaval on Earth, which is Ribera's take on the 70th week of Daniel's prophecy in chapter 9. Bellarmine championed Ribera's positions. It was all part of the 'Counter Reformation;' to take the finger from the Reformation pointing at the Papacy as the man of sin, the Little Horn, the Beast, and the antichrist apostasy, and pointing it somewhere else, way into the future.
Different churchmen of the Anglican/Church of England took it upon themselves to proclaim Ribera's and Bellarmine's writings, some having the desire to return to "Mother." Dr. Samuel Maitland, Professor James Todd are a couple of men involved in the great changes of understanding prophetic events as the Reformers understood them. John Henry Newman, who left the church and became a cardinal in the Catholic church and was part of The Oxford Movement, otherwise known as The Oxford Apostasy, in that great school in England, used Ribera's writings to claim the Papacy cannot be antichrist. John Keble, Edward Pusey and Richard Froude were some of the main proponents of the movement. The meetings the perpetrators held caused a great stir. Further agitation had begun in the ministry of the Presbyterian Scotsman, Edward Irving. He pastored a "mega-church" in London of a thousand members. He began to hold meetings endorsing the positions of Ribera and furthered the cause of Futurism. A gentleman by the name of John Nelson Darby became a disciple of the positions of Ribera, through the work of Irving. Darby was one of the leaders of the Plymouth Brethren. Darby had a disciple, though they never met, by the name of Cyrus Ingersoll Scofield. Readers may recognize the name tied to his 'Scofield Reference Bible,' having copious notes which champions the path of Futurism in prophetic interpretation. From there, Hal Lindsay became a well known author of 20th century books on the "rapture," a seven-year tribulation, and all the rest of the erroneous doctrinal positions first planted by the Roman Catholic Jesuit priest, Francisco Ribera; all designed the derail the locomotive of the Reformation that was literally changing the Western world. Unfortunately, it worked. The 'Left Behind' movie series continues to propagate Roman Catholic prophetic interpretation designed to destroy the influence of the Reformation. Ribera has gone "mainstream."
While Ribera's work caused Catholics to stop leaving Mother, it took three centuries for his work to influence Protestant churches but, here we are today; the vast numbers of professed Protestants, more prone to being called Evangelicals or Fundamentalists or Pentecostals, etc., waiting for a single antichrist figure to emerge after the church is "raptured" away in some invisible event. The founders of today's denominations would be shocked and incredibly disheartened to see the condition of those churches today.
I used to put all this information up on the screens for attendees of seminars in the 80's and 90's and long since lost all those overhead transparencies in a move but, in doing a search for readers not familiar with the info, I found a website that lays out the history pretty well.

Revelation 17 and 18
*The Roman church became "Mother" in a wide-ranging apostasy in the first centuries.
*Her Harlot daughters are the churches that continue her traditions and doctrines.
*The kings of the Earth are obviously all the nations that have engaged in various types of agreements with the Vatican down through the centuries, as well as previous pagan nations which influenced her apostasy from pure doctrine and biblical truth. She "fornicated" with nations and a mixed wine of abominations has made the Christian world drunk with confusion.
*The whore sits on "many waters." Water being a symbol for multitudes of people and nations and languages, GOD states Mother is involved everywhere on earth. The nations have influenced her and corrupted her and she has lasted longer than any other institution in history. She has influenced the nations. She has influenced everything called Christian in modern times. Islam cannot come close to being the Beast. Yes, Islam is an "antichrist," as John stated many antichrists existed in his day. Things 'in place of Christ' always exist. That is not the same as the prophetic characters involved in Daniel and Revelation.
*She also sits on a scarlet colored beast with seven heads and ten horns. This is interesting because there are no crowns on the horns, yet the angel told John the horns would be kings that would arise later. Ah, back to the barbaric tribes of Europe that became the modern nations of today? Not quite.
The similarities are obvious but, distinctions from previous characters also exist.
*Names of blasphemy are on the heads. I have previously addressed how the Bible defines blasphemy and the Catholic Church teaches it.
*She holds a cup filled with abominations. That is not an oft used word in our day. The word is a powerful, descriptive term conveying things so gross and corrupt they are stomach turning. The Greek word is "bdelugma" and it means something detestable from idolatry. The Hebrew word means the same, basically, and the term is found over 150 times in the Bible. Imagine the people of God burning their children in sacrifice to the pagan deity Molech. Abomination.
Yet, many of those times the word portrays something most people would not even find offensive in this day and age. Things like lying, corrupt business practices, pride - a proud heart, justifying the wicked and condemning the just, scorning righteousness, the prayers of those who turn away from God's law, vain offerings, things people call 'food,' and dozens of other things common in modern life are considered an abomination to God. Jesus summed it up this way:
And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. Luke 16:14,15
Bare in mind, the Roman Catholic Church, despite all the good things it does in this world by helping and feeding the poor, etc., is FILLED with abominations. The same goes for her daughters. The same goes for every individual on Earth. Doing good does not outweigh or do away with bad. God does not overlook sin because we do good things. That is not how it works. Life is not about good over bad. NONE of us, from God's viewpoint, could ever have more good than bad in our life's history. The very necessity for Christ to die for mankind proves that point. We cannot come close, by lightyears, to saving ourselves with our own good works. Good works without the spirit of our Lord in our hearts are called an abomination! We are lost in the woods of darkness and confusion without the light of Christ shining in our minds, guiding our way. It does not matter who you are or what you do, you are lost without the gift of salvation. ALL HAVE SINNED and come short of the glory, the character of God. The only way out of the predicament is God's invitation to let Him save us from ourselves and cooperate in that process. It is not a one-time event, either. It is a lifetime of cooperation and paving a direction in life.
The Mother of abominations has caused immense, colossal confusion in that which is called Christendom. She has caused confusion throughout the entire globe from her fornications with the kings of the Earth and has filled her cup with abominations and moral impurities. The screen, the veil of piety does not fool God. God sees what she is, despite sincere ones in her midst. She has claimed prerogatives of God. She has spilled the blood of millions who stood against her. Her robes and jewels and crowns and liturgy and the entire mammoth edifice of her religious fraud is an abomination to the Creator. She is the antithesis of Christ.
I'll pick this up in Part 2.

And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. Luke 16:14,15
Bare in mind, the Roman Catholic Church, despite all the good things it does in this world by helping and feeding the poor, etc., is FILLED with abominations. The same goes for her daughters. The same goes for every individual on Earth. Doing good does not outweigh or do away with bad. God does not overlook sin because we do good things. That is not how it works. Life is not about good over bad. NONE of us, from God's viewpoint, could ever have more good than bad in our life's history. The very necessity for Christ to die for mankind proves that point. We cannot come close, by lightyears, to saving ourselves with our own good works. Good works without the spirit of our Lord in our hearts are called an abomination! We are lost in the woods of darkness and confusion without the light of Christ shining in our minds, guiding our way. It does not matter who you are or what you do, you are lost without the gift of salvation. ALL HAVE SINNED and come short of the glory, the character of God. The only way out of the predicament is God's invitation to let Him save us from ourselves and cooperate in that process. It is not a one-time event, either. It is a lifetime of cooperation and paving a direction in life.
The Mother of abominations has caused immense, colossal confusion in that which is called Christendom. She has caused confusion throughout the entire globe from her fornications with the kings of the Earth and has filled her cup with abominations and moral impurities. The screen, the veil of piety does not fool God. God sees what she is, despite sincere ones in her midst. She has claimed prerogatives of God. She has spilled the blood of millions who stood against her. Her robes and jewels and crowns and liturgy and the entire mammoth edifice of her religious fraud is an abomination to the Creator. She is the antithesis of Christ.
I'll pick this up in Part 2.
The Fall of Babylon, Part 2
The Great Mother of Harlots in Revelation 17 is active in world affairs.
Ask yourself these questions of any faith you know of. Is any Christian denomination or group a nation? The Vatican is. Is any religious leader in the world anywhere close to the kind of personage popes are, throughout the world? Name one. The Dali Lama? A Rabbi? A leader in Islam? What other process to pick a new leader draws the attention of the world like a papal conclave does? Even liberal, leftist news media that cannot stand the Catholic church and anything it stands for, considers the election of a new pope news it must cover. Is the same true for the election of any other religious leader on earth? No. Can you name the President of the Southern Baptist Convention? How about the Archbishop of Canterbury? What about the Patriarch of the Eastern Orthodox Church? How about the Lamas of Buddhism? Any leaders within Confucianism? I'm guessing people know the names of atheists, like Richard Dawkins or Neil DeGrasse Tyson better than any religious leaders but, the Pope; Francis, Benedict, John Paul, people all over the planet know those names. Over 1 billion people are claimed to be members of the Roman Catholic Church. One seventh of the world's population.
Revelation 17 describes the efforts of Mother to control the Earth.
Rev 17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Rev 17:7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
Rev 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Strange, right? It is unlikely any more cryptic language is found anywhere else in prophecy. Was, is not, yet is.
I have seen a fair number of interpretations for Rev 17. I have generally been less than 100% convinced any of them are 100% accurate but, here is the one that makes the most sense to me at this point, and I reckon future events will reveal more information to fill in blanks.
Remember, I am a Historicist, believing prophecy is in a constant state of fulfillment from the time of the prophet onward. I am not a Preterist or a Futurist. Both of those are the children of Roman Catholic Jesuit priests who attempted to ruin the influence of the Protestant Reformation through those systems of interpretation.
Rev 17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
Mountains in the Bible are generally literal ones like Mt. Zion, which Jerusalem sits upon, or Mt. Sinai, where the Ten Commandments and the Law were given. Notice this use of the term, though:
Jer 51:24 And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the LORD.
Jer 51:25 Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.
Jer 51:26 And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the LORD.
Babylon sat in the desert. It has an elevation of less than 100'. God called it a destroying mountain. Mountains are also symbolic for nations. Consider the spiritual connotation of God stating Babylon sits on seven mountains, 7 being the number of perfection in Scripture. The Mother sits on perfect destruction through her fornication. The entire world is about to be destroyed because of the influence and dominion yet to be taken by the Vatican. But, there is more to the prophetic imagery.
Dan 2:35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
In Nebuchadnezzar's dream, a stone cut out of a mountain, without hands, struck the metallic image and crushed it. The stone is said to become a mountain that filled the whole earth. The stone is the second coming of Christ. His kingdom shall be set up on this earth and fill it someday. Mountains are synonymous with kingdoms, nations, powers, etc.
The woman sits on seven mountains. Interestingly, Rome is called the City that sits on seven hills. Interesting sidelight but, not the definitive meaning here.
Seven kings are those seven mountains, seven kingdoms. Five were fallen by the time John had the visions.
Historically, a number of options have been proposed. This one seems pretty factual to me. In the history of Israel and its captivities, and the region's empires - Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece. They had fallen by John's time.
One is - Rome, John's day.
One is yet to come - the American empire, the second beast of Rev 13. Which continues a short space of time, which fits the age of the USA.
The beast that was, is not, is of the seven and goes into perdition? There is only one possible choice there, based on the term "perdition." Satan and the Papacy. Both are part of the seven. One set them up. The other borrowed from them. The man of sin is referred to as the son of perdition, the disciple of Satan, himself, whom he uses to bring about a movement of false miracles and wonders to entrap the world at the end of time. Satan, himself, shall be transformed into an angel of light. Together Satan through the Papacy shall literally rule the world through lies, wonders and "miraculous" signs.
Yes, yes, calling a pope a disciple of Satan seems so off the wall in modern times as to be totally ridiculous. Stay biblical, though. If you lose that direction, it all sails past you. This is all from Heaven's point of view, not modern mankind's. Remember, the antichrist is "in place of Christ." The Church of Rome makes that claim over and over and over throughout her history. She is Antichrist. She had a deadly wound, which is healing, and almost fully healed. When she rises to the top of the world's mountains again, the end shall come.
Rev 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
If this represents the ten horns of the European tribes that formed the main nations of Europe after the division of the Roman empire, they had not received their place when John received the vision. If a day of prophetic time equals a literal year, one hour would be around 15 days, if that is what is meant. If the term one hour means a very short space of time, something, some major event will turn the world on its head and the Papacy and the ten kings yet to come will control the Earth until Christ returns to conquer it all.
Bear in mind the idea has been in the mind and plans of the elitist rulers of this world to divide the planet into ten divisions for a long time, via the UN and Club of Rome.
https://www2.ministries-online.org/biometrics/rome.html
The Club of Rome is a Euro/world think tank. All of these elitist outfits exist for one purpose and one purpose alone - save planet earth at all costs, as though the planet God made cannot protect itself and will, even at the loss of human life trying to ruin it. No, I am not a climate change denier, nor am I a supporter of such nonsense. Earth's climate changes all the time because of varying factors within the "Constants" of creation. I believe the Creator and His word. He made the world to exist, even in the face of humans trying to control it. The Bible says the world grows old like a garment. It is NOT GOING TO LAST IN ITS PRESENT STATE. It's going to end and there is zip the world can do about that. That does not mean we should trash it. Far from it. Nor does it mean an elitist group should have control all over humanity in how they live. Far from it.
There are 27 or 28 (depending on your source), nations in the European Union. It cannot be the fulfillment of this biblical prophecy. Things have yet to develop to bring about these ten "kings."
The chapter finishes out with an allegiance, then a revolt on the woman which is that great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth.
Bear in mind there are few kings left in the nations of this world and most of them are just figureheads of times since past. They have no real power. Parliaments, a Congress or other law making bodies now exist. In the nation of the Vatican, though, one king reigns with absolute power in its affairs. Not the US president, not the Russian president, nor the Chinese president has such power.

The Fall of Babylon, Part 3
Babylon is made up of the Beast, the Image to the Beast, and the Kings of the Earth: The RCC, the American empire, and the kings of the Earth. The Papacy, apostate Protestantism and paganism. Just about everything fits into that simple triad in one way or another. The Woman in scarlet and purple, gold, jewels, and abominations in her cup sits on top of it all. Now? Not totally but, that is coming, based on seemingly miraculous powers at her hand.
Think of it in terms of the events of Fatima, Portugal, 1917. If you are not familiar with it, look it up and read what happened. A "miracle" witnessed by a crowd of somewhere between an estimated 50 -70,000 people, took the Catholic world by storm. Magnify that event by 1000 times and you'll get what's coming in the final showdown between Christ and Lucifer on this Earth.
Rev 18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
Rev 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Rev 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
Again, in prophecy angels are considered messengers, symbolic for God's people giving a message. In this case, the entire world shall be lighted up with the power of this message at the close of time.
Babylon is fallen, is fallen. Done, gone, no appeals, no turning back. Rome, American and world apostate Protestanism, and the paganism all over this globe stand in defiance of God and His law. The triad of Babylon is under the control of devils. I have already addressed the subject of death, as far as the Bible describes it, and you should know for certain the error of the immortality of the "soul" is going to play a massive part in how devils gain and maintain control in the final days. Every foul spirit shall be within Babylon. Just like the days of Noah, the thoughts of people were only evil, continually. And catch this: the planet becomes a cage of unclean and hateful birds. Most of the unclean birds in the dietary restrictions God gave his people, are predators. A cage of predators, gnawing to get out and prey. THAT is what the world shall become. A mindset of predation.
Aside from the fornication already discussed, another aspect is added - wealth. The businesses of the world have been made rich through fornicating with the Whore and her lovers.
Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Rev 18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
Rev 18:6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
The final call goes out to come out of Babylon so you do not receive the judgments upon her sins, nor the plagues about to fall upon her (chapter 16). She and her daughters and lovers are going to receive double what she has caused in this world.
Rev 18:7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
Rev 18:8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
Rome has always been arrogant, always been audacious, always been so sure of herself. Millions of her "children" leave her fold and she just gains more. One must wonder how any organization with the history of scandals Rome has attained and maintained, can hold onto the affections of over a billion people. How can that be? It causes her to say, I am no widow. I am married to Christ and nothing can stop me or bring me down. And yet, Christ is going to, in the most awful scourges the world shall ever see.
If 'one day' is symbolic for literal time, this event is going to take place in one year. The agony the population of this world shall be in will be so excruciating the only answer shall be to kill, eradicate, annihilate those on Earth who refuse to go along with the laws of men in defiance of the law of God: a formal death decree. Are we not on that path now in seeing the attitudes towards those who refuse to be injected with an experimental fluid harming and killing people all over the world? That is but a small example of what the cage of unclean and hateful birds shall want to do when the plagues fall.
Rev 18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
Rev 18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
What a change from seeing the smoke that arises at the end of a papal conclave. This smoke shall be the smoke of her destruction. She shall burn.
In one hour her judgment comes. Again, possibly a couple weeks or just statement to mean the end shall burst and come quickly, all things considered throughout world history.
Rev 18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
Rev 18:12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
Rev 18:13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
When people claim the Bible endorses slavery, they are obviously ignorant of that passage. By the end of the first century, when John had these visions, slavery was condemned; making humans merchandise was condemned. Never in Scripture do we see people bought and sold by God's people. They retained servants of conquered nations. Common practice for all nations in that time. They also gave life to many who would have starved to death or killed in any number of other ways, after their nations were conquered. Their nations were conquered because they dropped into abominations and literally perverted the ancient world.
Rev 18:14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
Rev 18:15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
Rev 18:16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
Rev 18:17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
Rev 18:18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
Rev 18:19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
There really is not anything in this list that is not the whole of commerce on Earth. Right now, as I type, ships are standing still off the shores of California and a supply-line crisis exists in America. What happens if the shipping lanes of the entire globe come to a halt? They shall, you shall see.
Babylon - Rome, DC, Beijing, Moscow, Paris, all the world's capitols shall burn when humanity sees they have been duped by liars and despots and the angel of light's big dog and pony show, and shall commence the destruction of everything committed to power over humanity. It was all fake, worthless, poisonous, deadly.
One hour being mentioned so many times I pretty much conclude a two week period is going to be so severe it shall bring the world to literal chaos and destruction of the physical monuments to power Babylon has built.
Rev 18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
Rev 18:21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
Do you know or remember what Christ once said about a millstone?
Mat 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 18:5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
Mat 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
A millstone, you've seen them, used to grind down grain, generally with an ox or two walking around that circle, and the stone does its work. They could weigh anywhere from a few hundred pounds to well over a ton and half. Such a stone is imparted to the thoughts of the reader, hung around a person's neck who mistreats Christ's children, and put around the neck of the Whore of Babylon and cast into the sea. You must remember this. God wants all, everybody, every person who has ever been born to come to repentance and be saved to eternal life. For Him to pronounce such a judgment upon Babylon means they have gone so far past any notion of righteousness they are deserving of no compassion whatsoever. Right now, so much is still in secret but, they day shall come when all shall be revealed.
Rev 18:22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
Rev 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
Rev 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
No more music and entertainment. No more arts. No more business. No more electricity, considering candles were the light back then but, today, imagine the power going off all over the globe. Marriage ceases. The world stops. And notice, once again, the use of the term 'sorceries.' The Greek word used there? Pharmakeia - medications. Get the picture? People seduced to take a medication to control them? Seriously? Is that not a crazy conspiracy theory??? No. It is not. It is a beginning of the end, and the Vatican is in the thick of it, somehow, someway.
Come out of Babylon, of apostasy, of confusion, and take a stand for the truth of God and do so now because time really is running out.
The choice is one of two women. The woman of Revelation 12; clothed with the sun - the light of righteousness; standing on the moon under her feet - the light of reflection from the sun - the Bible; and a crown of 12 stars on her head, the work of the twelve apostles to begin the church of Christ.
How many churches consider themselves the church of Christ? They all do! Yet, they cannot all be, can they? The Bible gives the description of Christ's true body of people at the end of time.
Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
God's people keep His commandments, all ten of them, as He wrote them in stone. And they have the testimony of Jesus. What is that?
John 3:32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
John 3:33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
Joh 4:44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
John 7:7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
Joh 13:21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
Joh 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
There is a sermon in each of those passages. Collectively, they state what Jesus testified to: the Bible and what it says about Him, about evil in this world, about rejection, betrayal, and His relationship to the Spirit of truth testifying about Him. His people experience all that in some way.
There is another aspect to consider.
Rev 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
When I looked at the subject of death and the terms 'soul' and 'spirit' and the original Hebrew and Greek words they are translated from, and how they are used in the Bible, we saw the soul represents the emotional nature of man and the spirit represents the intellectual nature of man. Along with the physical nature that is what makes up a human being: we are rational, thinking, emotional, physical creatures made in the image and likeness of God. We are to worship God in spirit and in truth; meaning thoughtfully, mindfully, "think on these things," Phil. 4:8.
The Greek word translated 'spirit' is 'pneuma,' meaning a movement of air, whether wind or breath. The brethren that have the spirit of prophecy are those who mindfully consider, and literally breathe prophecy. They do not run from it, as not understandable. They study to show themselves approved unto God, workers that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the world of truth, 1Tim 2:9, and proclaim it. They breathe in the atmosphere of prophecy and understand it. It has been opened to them through various gifts of the Spirit.
This is my small part of that process in my little corner of the world. The time shall come when the entire planet is covered with the messages of truth for this time, directing souls to lifesaving information from God's word.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Next week, the Seven Last Plagues.
Think of it in terms of the events of Fatima, Portugal, 1917. If you are not familiar with it, look it up and read what happened. A "miracle" witnessed by a crowd of somewhere between an estimated 50 -70,000 people, took the Catholic world by storm. Magnify that event by 1000 times and you'll get what's coming in the final showdown between Christ and Lucifer on this Earth.
Rev 18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
Rev 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Rev 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
Again, in prophecy angels are considered messengers, symbolic for God's people giving a message. In this case, the entire world shall be lighted up with the power of this message at the close of time.
Babylon is fallen, is fallen. Done, gone, no appeals, no turning back. Rome, American and world apostate Protestanism, and the paganism all over this globe stand in defiance of God and His law. The triad of Babylon is under the control of devils. I have already addressed the subject of death, as far as the Bible describes it, and you should know for certain the error of the immortality of the "soul" is going to play a massive part in how devils gain and maintain control in the final days. Every foul spirit shall be within Babylon. Just like the days of Noah, the thoughts of people were only evil, continually. And catch this: the planet becomes a cage of unclean and hateful birds. Most of the unclean birds in the dietary restrictions God gave his people, are predators. A cage of predators, gnawing to get out and prey. THAT is what the world shall become. A mindset of predation.
Aside from the fornication already discussed, another aspect is added - wealth. The businesses of the world have been made rich through fornicating with the Whore and her lovers.
Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Rev 18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
Rev 18:6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
The final call goes out to come out of Babylon so you do not receive the judgments upon her sins, nor the plagues about to fall upon her (chapter 16). She and her daughters and lovers are going to receive double what she has caused in this world.
Rev 18:7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
Rev 18:8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
Rome has always been arrogant, always been audacious, always been so sure of herself. Millions of her "children" leave her fold and she just gains more. One must wonder how any organization with the history of scandals Rome has attained and maintained, can hold onto the affections of over a billion people. How can that be? It causes her to say, I am no widow. I am married to Christ and nothing can stop me or bring me down. And yet, Christ is going to, in the most awful scourges the world shall ever see.
If 'one day' is symbolic for literal time, this event is going to take place in one year. The agony the population of this world shall be in will be so excruciating the only answer shall be to kill, eradicate, annihilate those on Earth who refuse to go along with the laws of men in defiance of the law of God: a formal death decree. Are we not on that path now in seeing the attitudes towards those who refuse to be injected with an experimental fluid harming and killing people all over the world? That is but a small example of what the cage of unclean and hateful birds shall want to do when the plagues fall.
Rev 18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
Rev 18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
What a change from seeing the smoke that arises at the end of a papal conclave. This smoke shall be the smoke of her destruction. She shall burn.
In one hour her judgment comes. Again, possibly a couple weeks or just statement to mean the end shall burst and come quickly, all things considered throughout world history.
Rev 18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
Rev 18:12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
Rev 18:13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
When people claim the Bible endorses slavery, they are obviously ignorant of that passage. By the end of the first century, when John had these visions, slavery was condemned; making humans merchandise was condemned. Never in Scripture do we see people bought and sold by God's people. They retained servants of conquered nations. Common practice for all nations in that time. They also gave life to many who would have starved to death or killed in any number of other ways, after their nations were conquered. Their nations were conquered because they dropped into abominations and literally perverted the ancient world.
Rev 18:14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
Rev 18:15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
Rev 18:16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
Rev 18:17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
Rev 18:18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
Rev 18:19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
There really is not anything in this list that is not the whole of commerce on Earth. Right now, as I type, ships are standing still off the shores of California and a supply-line crisis exists in America. What happens if the shipping lanes of the entire globe come to a halt? They shall, you shall see.
Babylon - Rome, DC, Beijing, Moscow, Paris, all the world's capitols shall burn when humanity sees they have been duped by liars and despots and the angel of light's big dog and pony show, and shall commence the destruction of everything committed to power over humanity. It was all fake, worthless, poisonous, deadly.
One hour being mentioned so many times I pretty much conclude a two week period is going to be so severe it shall bring the world to literal chaos and destruction of the physical monuments to power Babylon has built.
Rev 18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
Rev 18:21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
Do you know or remember what Christ once said about a millstone?
Mat 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 18:5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
Mat 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
A millstone, you've seen them, used to grind down grain, generally with an ox or two walking around that circle, and the stone does its work. They could weigh anywhere from a few hundred pounds to well over a ton and half. Such a stone is imparted to the thoughts of the reader, hung around a person's neck who mistreats Christ's children, and put around the neck of the Whore of Babylon and cast into the sea. You must remember this. God wants all, everybody, every person who has ever been born to come to repentance and be saved to eternal life. For Him to pronounce such a judgment upon Babylon means they have gone so far past any notion of righteousness they are deserving of no compassion whatsoever. Right now, so much is still in secret but, they day shall come when all shall be revealed.
Rev 18:22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
Rev 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
Rev 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
No more music and entertainment. No more arts. No more business. No more electricity, considering candles were the light back then but, today, imagine the power going off all over the globe. Marriage ceases. The world stops. And notice, once again, the use of the term 'sorceries.' The Greek word used there? Pharmakeia - medications. Get the picture? People seduced to take a medication to control them? Seriously? Is that not a crazy conspiracy theory??? No. It is not. It is a beginning of the end, and the Vatican is in the thick of it, somehow, someway.
Come out of Babylon, of apostasy, of confusion, and take a stand for the truth of God and do so now because time really is running out.
The choice is one of two women. The woman of Revelation 12; clothed with the sun - the light of righteousness; standing on the moon under her feet - the light of reflection from the sun - the Bible; and a crown of 12 stars on her head, the work of the twelve apostles to begin the church of Christ.
How many churches consider themselves the church of Christ? They all do! Yet, they cannot all be, can they? The Bible gives the description of Christ's true body of people at the end of time.
Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
God's people keep His commandments, all ten of them, as He wrote them in stone. And they have the testimony of Jesus. What is that?
John 3:32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
John 3:33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
Joh 4:44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
John 7:7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
Joh 13:21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
Joh 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
There is a sermon in each of those passages. Collectively, they state what Jesus testified to: the Bible and what it says about Him, about evil in this world, about rejection, betrayal, and His relationship to the Spirit of truth testifying about Him. His people experience all that in some way.
There is another aspect to consider.
Rev 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
When I looked at the subject of death and the terms 'soul' and 'spirit' and the original Hebrew and Greek words they are translated from, and how they are used in the Bible, we saw the soul represents the emotional nature of man and the spirit represents the intellectual nature of man. Along with the physical nature that is what makes up a human being: we are rational, thinking, emotional, physical creatures made in the image and likeness of God.

449. Christian UFOlogy? - December 12, 2021
If you have been reading this blog you know I have brought up the UFO phenomenon quite a few times, especially in the context of last-day events.
Yesterday I came in contact with my first exposure to "Christian UFOlogy." I watched an interview with interest and was disappointed within just a few minutes of the discussion. I watched about three quarters of it, and gave up.
While I know millions of Christians believe in life beyond Earth (beyond that of the angelic host), in God's created universe, I don't come upon many who biblically demonstrate why, and I had absolutely no idea there was a category of 'Christian UFOlogists.'
I'm not going to mention any names, simply because I have no burden to have anybody exposed to or influenced by the positions of, at least the one person I saw and any others promoting things that are decidedly unbiblical. I felt like I was watching some ancient philosopher or "Church Father" conflating ideas floating around out there, trying to make everything fit a text they consider important. In this case, someone taking ideas from outside the Bible and squeezing them into the biblical model of life.
I suppose it isn't much different than professed Christians trying to squeeze evolution into a text that screams fiat creation. The way they twist Scripture to be able to suit modern neo-Darwinism is not only quizzical but, sometimes painful to read. Believing what I do about spiritual, prophetic Babylon it is not difficult to place such positions into the ranks of Babylonian confusion.
The hard truth is, there are many "Christians" who "believe."
James 2:19 You believe that there is one God, you do well; even the demons believe and tremble.
Intellectually believing God exists does not make one a Christian. That is all well and good to believe but, again, walking into a barn does not make one a horse. Walking into a church does not make one a Christian. Believing God exists does not make one a Christian. Being born-again, rendering the life into God's care and guidance, and being given new life by the influence of the Holy Spirit making Christ alive in you, makes you a Christian; someone owned by Christ. You become His by acceptance and submission to His plan of redemption.
You say, "That's a pretty narrow definition, don't you think?" Yeah, well, Jesus said, "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." Matt 7:14
I'm no "saint." Being born-again almost 43 years ago does not make things all smooth and sufficient today. I mess up more today then I did when I was 24. I may have more questions now than I did when my life was so amazingly changed.
That said, I know what I know when it comes to the Bible. There's plenty I do not know but, I am one who requires evidence. I have seen UFOs, twice in my life, as I mentioned quite some time ago, in an earlier blog. I am hardly an expert but, I have looked into the UFO phenomenon for 40 years and must place the phenomenon within the confines of biblical declarations, not try to fit it into places it can't happen. Twisting Scripture to state things it does not, carries a pretty stiff penalty:
2Pet 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
2Pet 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
I have addressed Genesis 6, and Ezekiel's "wheel," and such, and how those passages of Scripture are really twisted to state things they absolutely do not, if the Bible is allowed to interpret itself and you keep things in context.
You may recall my mentioning the Mike Douglas Show, June of 1979, and two guests he had on, Betty Andreasson and author Raymond Fowler, and the subject of his book, "The Andreasson Affair."
I actually found a recording of that segment of the program:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuYx5VVmlRI
Now, as I mentioned before, in 1979, after just being baptized several days before that interview, I heard something in that discussion that caused me to literally jump out of my chair at the dining room table. It is not in the recorded interview for some reason. Guest host, Mike Farrell, of M.A.S.H. fame, asked a couple questions. One is in the recording, the other, if not others he may have asked as well, is not. He asked about her experience and the book mentioning her experience having a religious element. The recording does not sound tampered with but, I remember her answer like it was yesterday. She stated that these aliens had benevolent intentions but, she was told by them, a small group of people would not go along with them when they eventually revealed themselves and they would have to be dealt with. For me, bells went off, big time, in light of last-day events. "The Remnant" of Rev 12:17. Why that is not on the recording is a mystery. I know what I heard, though. So did my parents, who were sitting in the living room watching when I exploded out of my chair and began "preaching." Admittedly, they were then clueless but, we heard what we heard.
The Betty Andreasson experience is one of the most well-known abduction stories out there. She considers herself a Christian. I never read the book, nor much about her and don't know anything about her faith. Being from Massachusetts I might expect her to be a Roman Catholic as a great deal of Southern New England was back then but, I don't know. I should read the book and see if what she stated in the interview is in the book as well, though based on Farrell's question, it probably is not or he'd have had his answer already.
Christian UFOlogy, to me, is a misnomer. While I have stated the reasons I believe the Bible alludes to life beyond Earth, there is nothing in it to conclude extra-terrestrials have ever visited this world or actually live on it, let alone have produced hybrid humans, mating with females. That is such a gross misinterpretation of Genesis 6 it is mockery of Scripture. Yet, that seems to be the launching pad for "Christian UFOlogy."
I do not believe there is anything that can actually be called, Christian UFOlogy. The Bible makes no statements about UFOs. Does ancient Catholic artwork depict what looks like flying saucers? Yes. That is not the Bible. That is the depiction of events in the life of Christ by artists no longer around to tell us what those things they painted are and why they are inserted into the paintings.
I certainly believe there can be plenty of Christians who look into the subject of UFOs. It is the same as the claim America is a Christian nation, rather than a nation with a lot of Christians in it. There is no such thing as a Christian nation because Jesus said, point blank, "My kingdom is not of this world." His kingdom is a spiritual one, not yet physical for us until it is made so on the New Earth. For something called Christian UFOlogy to plant ideas in minds of believers and non-believers that ETs of all kinds traipse around this planet and have been doing so since creation, getting here in vehicular transportation, even from other galaxies, is so outrageous, with zero biblical evidence, it is an embarrassment to the faith. Why? Because there is no biblical evidence to back up such beliefs. None. Certainly not Genesis 6 and Ezekiel 1. And the person interviewed offered nothing to substantiate his claims, just agreeing with the interviewer, not a professed believer, who ended up saying he and the professed Christian are on the same page. (sigh)
I had no evidence the professed Christian is one, save for his own word. He said nothing, offered no "fruit" of the reality of his faith in Christ. "You shall know them by their fruits." This is why Jesus said to "judge righteous judgment." I don't know if the man is born-again or not. He may be. I do not know because he offered nothing to stake his claim in salvation. I wish the secular interviewer asked him what he believes the Bible states that causes him to believe life exists beyond Earth, let alone visits here and has done so for thousands of years. In any event, someone who loves the Lord will always look for an avenue to witness for the faith. It's just a natural result of being born-again. Like the woman at the well (John 4:1-42), who found out the Man she spoke with was the Messiah, and ran back to town telling everyone she met and passed, she found Him, and the whole town came out to meet Him: it just sprang up out of her, and does with all who truly believe and have made a living connection with Christ.
I'll admit, I should have hunted down his website and seen what's there before writing this. [Before posting this, I did, and remain convicted his positions are unbiblical and a mixture of truth and error]. Not many Christians who believe in life beyond Earth have biblical reasons why they believe that. They just take a common sense approach: a vast, seemingly limitless universe, a couple trillion galaxies, God is love, creates angels, why not fill the universe with creatures to have a relationship with? Some angels go rebel, and one planet's reps fall, and a plan is already in motion to bring the pair and their offspring back into the fold, and the Bible states point blank angels and sons of God were there to see the creation of this world, and their neighborhood in the galaxy.
I mean, the guy did not mention God or Christ in any portion of the interview I saw. How can any, and I mean ANY abduction scenario or experience not be brought into some context of the Creator and Saviour of the world they were abducted from?!?
Do I have an explanation of the thousands of abduction cases out there? Not a biblical one by exact description. Again, never can a professed Christian exclude Satanic and demonic activity. They are foolish if they do. Never can a believer exclude mental and emotional trauma or delusions, illusions, dreams, nightmares, brain-chemical deficiencies, or any other neurological possibilities. Just because a claim is made, does not make it true. Just because they are hypnotized certainly does not make it true. Hypnotism can be the Devil's playground.
Common sense. We emphatically now know the technology exists and was used to change votes, in real time, in previous elections. That has been proven beyond any reasonable doubts. If people can mess with technology in real time, you think Lucifer cannot mess with it in real time, and by that I mean any lie detector machine on the planet. Lucifer, angels occupy dimensions we do not understand, and have abilities far beyond what we understand. Screwing up a read out from a machine would be like children building sand castles. It is astonishing to me a professed Christian is willing to believe the power ETs supposedly have, as demonstrated in the Andreasson abduction, yet deny the powers angels have? Seriously? And outright deny any demonic involvement in claimed abduction cases? Claiming physical evidence exists?
I did a search based on his statement, of physical evidence for alien abductions. The very first hit:
https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/aliens/wheresphysev.html
"One MIT physicist, a fervent proponent in alien abductions and in the process of scientific inquiry, has confirmed that there is not one, single, independently confirmed piece of scientific evidence for an alien abduction. Not one. In fact when pressed further, most proponents themselves back off the importance of such 'conventional' data, and point instead to what they refer to as the real evidence for abductions; that is, the similarities in the stories themselves, and the sincerity and emotionality with which they are told. This then is the true heart of the alien abduction phenomenon and the focus of our documentary."
I am no fan of Leftist-biased PBS. I place the link and statement here because as far as I am aware, the statement is true.
Watching YT videos of supposed evidence of alien abduction cannot, by definition be called empirical evidence of extraterrestrial involvement. I remain convinced, by the weight of evidence, the only living creatures we can know of, based on the Bible, that would do harm to a human being, are Lucifer and the angels cast out of heaven. That's it. Allusions in the Bible to life beyond Earth place such life in harmony and loyalty to God. The 99 sheep need no rescue or salvation. They would not harm people created in God's image. Such a notion is ludicrous.
The guy interviewed denied devils/demons are physical. The very first promise in the Bible denies such a claim:
Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee [the serpent, i.e. Lucifer], and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
The seed of the woman would ultimately bring forth a real, physical Messiah: Immanuel, God with us. The devil's seed, Rome, apostate Israel, would bruise the Messiah's "heel." Though crucified, the Messiah rose from the dead and lives forevermore. Messiah would give a head wound to Lucifer, a mortal wound, in which a real, physical creature would die and stay dead forevermore. Just because angels are supernatural, above the natural elements of our world, does not mean they are not physical. Supernatural physicality is not non-physical. It's a different physical than our existence of solid, liquid and gas. Christ walked through walls after His resurrection, right into the presence of His disciples. Was He physical? Yes. Was he bound by our dimension? No.
Satan is the god of this world - 2Cor. 4:4; the "archon:" the prince, the ruler of this world - John 12:31, 14:30, 16:11; he is the "archon" of the power of the air - Eph 2:2; he is Beelzebub, the "archon:" the prince, the chief of devils." His powers are beyond what humans can understand a living creature possessing. He and his hosts are supernatural creatures that can morph into other forms, they are liars, deceivers, our adversaries and accusers, who can possess people's minds, and thereby their bodies and bind them, control them... any believer who denies the biblical record of Lucifer, his fall, and the angel's who fell with him, cannot be called a Christian with a biblical worldview. The guy interviewed denied that the Bible states anything about angels being fallen!
Luke 10:17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
Rev 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Rev 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Just because something supernatural is shown in the Bible cannot instantly be charged to ETs. That is preposterous, especially when we already have biblical information of creatures who are supernatural and determined to destroy us. Good grief. Please, do let us have common sense.
I have stated, based on the evidence available, UFOs can be mistaken natural occurrences, international corporate inventions, international military inventions, or demonic activity. As a Christian, those are my options. Just because I believe in a populated universe does not mean I can have any room for acknowledging Grays, Lizards, and the rest of the supposed 4 or 5 dozen other ET species people claim to have communication with. How naive do you want rational people to be? I was an atheist. Any rationality I claimed to have towards God was shattered when my life was supernaturally changed in being born-again. That opened up a whole new paradigm. That does not mean I can invent paradigms to suit whatever is believed out there. Christians are supposed to have a biblical worldview. That is the sourcebook for information for getting to know God and the plan of salvation in human history. Of course it is out of harmony with the world because the world is out of harmony with the Creator of the world, and Christians cannot be friends with it in any way that would threaten or damage our connection to God. I had the continual impression the man interviewed had been "unequally yoked together with unbelievers," 2Cor 6:14.
I cannot deny "abductees" have had some kind of experience. I deny those experiences have anything to do with beings from other worlds. Not if the Bible is allowed to speak for itself.
This "Christian UFOlogy" is all going to play out in time ahead. I reckon it shall become part of the final, overmastering delusion. I have no doubts about that and become more and more convinced of it, almost by the week. Millions of professed Christians are going to be deceived because they are in spiritual, prophetic Babylon, confused, and shall be shocked beyond words when they realize they have been duped and conned and betrayed, and the fault shall lie at their own doors because they refused to acknowledge a complete and contextual Thus saith the Lord.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

I want to add something to this. Earth is not a vacation destination. Earth is the warzone of the universe. It is the cesspool of the universe. With all its grandeur and majesty remaining after the Flood, it is a foul place where the greatest danger to life are the creatures made in the image and likeness of the Creator. Would you visit a war zone for a vacation? Would you visit a foul smelling, polluted, rancid place for a vacation, where the highest life forms routinely kill each other? Yeah, neither would anyone living beyond our world, living as unfallen creatures in worlds not corrupted by sin, totally blessed and in harmony with their Creator. Unless that line of reasoning can be biblically erased, that is the logical position to hold on ET and alien abductions.
Then there is the logic of prohibition. Adam and Eve were prohibited from eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Would it not be logical to believe inhabitants of the universe are prohibited from coming near this world until this mess is over and done with? Lucifer and those who followed in his rebellion were irrevocably cast out of Heaven at the crucifixion of Christ. He and they are not allowed to pollute that place with their lies and deceptions. The angels see the truth in total clarity and saw it when Lucifer worked to have Christ killed. The universe sees that as well. The live in peace and harmony with Heaven. They have no need to visit here because their worlds are far more beautiful and bountiful.
Christianity is a religion with the Bible as its sourcebook of truth. The only way to put ET visitation to Earth in it, is to twist it and conform it to outside information. That is called - heresy.
Yesterday I came in contact with my first exposure to "Christian UFOlogy." I watched an interview with interest and was disappointed within just a few minutes of the discussion. I watched about three quarters of it, and gave up.
While I know millions of Christians believe in life beyond Earth (beyond that of the angelic host), in God's created universe, I don't come upon many who biblically demonstrate why, and I had absolutely no idea there was a category of 'Christian UFOlogists.'
I'm not going to mention any names, simply because I have no burden to have anybody exposed to or influenced by the positions of, at least the one person I saw and any others promoting things that are decidedly unbiblical. I felt like I was watching some ancient philosopher or "Church Father" conflating ideas floating around out there, trying to make everything fit a text they consider important. In this case, someone taking ideas from outside the Bible and squeezing them into the biblical model of life.
I suppose it isn't much different than professed Christians trying to squeeze evolution into a text that screams fiat creation. The way they twist Scripture to be able to suit modern neo-Darwinism is not only quizzical but, sometimes painful to read. Believing what I do about spiritual, prophetic Babylon it is not difficult to place such positions into the ranks of Babylonian confusion.
The hard truth is, there are many "Christians" who "believe."
James 2:19 You believe that there is one God, you do well; even the demons believe and tremble.
Intellectually believing God exists does not make one a Christian. That is all well and good to believe but, again, walking into a barn does not make one a horse. Walking into a church does not make one a Christian. Believing God exists does not make one a Christian. Being born-again, rendering the life into God's care and guidance, and being given new life by the influence of the Holy Spirit making Christ alive in you, makes you a Christian; someone owned by Christ. You become His by acceptance and submission to His plan of redemption.
You say, "That's a pretty narrow definition, don't you think?" Yeah, well, Jesus said, "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." Matt 7:14
I'm no "saint." Being born-again almost 43 years ago does not make things all smooth and sufficient today. I mess up more today then I did when I was 24. I may have more questions now than I did when my life was so amazingly changed.
That said, I know what I know when it comes to the Bible. There's plenty I do not know but, I am one who requires evidence. I have seen UFOs, twice in my life, as I mentioned quite some time ago, in an earlier blog. I am hardly an expert but, I have looked into the UFO phenomenon for 40 years and must place the phenomenon within the confines of biblical declarations, not try to fit it into places it can't happen. Twisting Scripture to state things it does not, carries a pretty stiff penalty:
2Pet 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
2Pet 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
I have addressed Genesis 6, and Ezekiel's "wheel," and such, and how those passages of Scripture are really twisted to state things they absolutely do not, if the Bible is allowed to interpret itself and you keep things in context.
You may recall my mentioning the Mike Douglas Show, June of 1979, and two guests he had on, Betty Andreasson and author Raymond Fowler, and the subject of his book, "The Andreasson Affair."
I actually found a recording of that segment of the program:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuYx5VVmlRI
Now, as I mentioned before, in 1979, after just being baptized several days before that interview, I heard something in that discussion that caused me to literally jump out of my chair at the dining room table. It is not in the recorded interview for some reason. Guest host, Mike Farrell, of M.A.S.H. fame, asked a couple questions. One is in the recording, the other, if not others he may have asked as well, is not. He asked about her experience and the book mentioning her experience having a religious element. The recording does not sound tampered with but, I remember her answer like it was yesterday. She stated that these aliens had benevolent intentions but, she was told by them, a small group of people would not go along with them when they eventually revealed themselves and they would have to be dealt with. For me, bells went off, big time, in light of last-day events. "The Remnant" of Rev 12:17. Why that is not on the recording is a mystery. I know what I heard, though. So did my parents, who were sitting in the living room watching when I exploded out of my chair and began "preaching." Admittedly, they were then clueless but, we heard what we heard.
The Betty Andreasson experience is one of the most well-known abduction stories out there. She considers herself a Christian. I never read the book, nor much about her and don't know anything about her faith. Being from Massachusetts I might expect her to be a Roman Catholic as a great deal of Southern New England was back then but, I don't know. I should read the book and see if what she stated in the interview is in the book as well, though based on Farrell's question, it probably is not or he'd have had his answer already.
Christian UFOlogy, to me, is a misnomer. While I have stated the reasons I believe the Bible alludes to life beyond Earth, there is nothing in it to conclude extra-terrestrials have ever visited this world or actually live on it, let alone have produced hybrid humans, mating with females. That is such a gross misinterpretation of Genesis 6 it is mockery of Scripture. Yet, that seems to be the launching pad for "Christian UFOlogy."
I do not believe there is anything that can actually be called, Christian UFOlogy. The Bible makes no statements about UFOs. Does ancient Catholic artwork depict what looks like flying saucers? Yes. That is not the Bible. That is the depiction of events in the life of Christ by artists no longer around to tell us what those things they painted are and why they are inserted into the paintings.
I certainly believe there can be plenty of Christians who look into the subject of UFOs. It is the same as the claim America is a Christian nation, rather than a nation with a lot of Christians in it. There is no such thing as a Christian nation because Jesus said, point blank, "My kingdom is not of this world." His kingdom is a spiritual one, not yet physical for us until it is made so on the New Earth. For something called Christian UFOlogy to plant ideas in minds of believers and non-believers that ETs of all kinds traipse around this planet and have been doing so since creation, getting here in vehicular transportation, even from other galaxies, is so outrageous, with zero biblical evidence, it is an embarrassment to the faith. Why? Because there is no biblical evidence to back up such beliefs. None. Certainly not Genesis 6 and Ezekiel 1. And the person interviewed offered nothing to substantiate his claims, just agreeing with the interviewer, not a professed believer, who ended up saying he and the professed Christian are on the same page. (sigh)
I had no evidence the professed Christian is one, save for his own word. He said nothing, offered no "fruit" of the reality of his faith in Christ. "You shall know them by their fruits." This is why Jesus said to "judge righteous judgment." I don't know if the man is born-again or not. He may be. I do not know because he offered nothing to stake his claim in salvation. I wish the secular interviewer asked him what he believes the Bible states that causes him to believe life exists beyond Earth, let alone visits here and has done so for thousands of years. In any event, someone who loves the Lord will always look for an avenue to witness for the faith. It's just a natural result of being born-again. Like the woman at the well (John 4:1-42), who found out the Man she spoke with was the Messiah, and ran back to town telling everyone she met and passed, she found Him, and the whole town came out to meet Him: it just sprang up out of her, and does with all who truly believe and have made a living connection with Christ.
I'll admit, I should have hunted down his website and seen what's there before writing this. [Before posting this, I did, and remain convicted his positions are unbiblical and a mixture of truth and error]. Not many Christians who believe in life beyond Earth have biblical reasons why they believe that. They just take a common sense approach: a vast, seemingly limitless universe, a couple trillion galaxies, God is love, creates angels, why not fill the universe with creatures to have a relationship with? Some angels go rebel, and one planet's reps fall, and a plan is already in motion to bring the pair and their offspring back into the fold, and the Bible states point blank angels and sons of God were there to see the creation of this world, and their neighborhood in the galaxy.
I mean, the guy did not mention God or Christ in any portion of the interview I saw. How can any, and I mean ANY abduction scenario or experience not be brought into some context of the Creator and Saviour of the world they were abducted from?!?
Do I have an explanation of the thousands of abduction cases out there? Not a biblical one by exact description. Again, never can a professed Christian exclude Satanic and demonic activity. They are foolish if they do. Never can a believer exclude mental and emotional trauma or delusions, illusions, dreams, nightmares, brain-chemical deficiencies, or any other neurological possibilities. Just because a claim is made, does not make it true. Just because they are hypnotized certainly does not make it true. Hypnotism can be the Devil's playground.
Common sense. We emphatically now know the technology exists and was used to change votes, in real time, in previous elections. That has been proven beyond any reasonable doubts. If people can mess with technology in real time, you think Lucifer cannot mess with it in real time, and by that I mean any lie detector machine on the planet. Lucifer, angels occupy dimensions we do not understand, and have abilities far beyond what we understand. Screwing up a read out from a machine would be like children building sand castles. It is astonishing to me a professed Christian is willing to believe the power ETs supposedly have, as demonstrated in the Andreasson abduction, yet deny the powers angels have? Seriously? And outright deny any demonic involvement in claimed abduction cases? Claiming physical evidence exists?
I did a search based on his statement, of physical evidence for alien abductions. The very first hit:
https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/aliens/wheresphysev.html
"One MIT physicist, a fervent proponent in alien abductions and in the process of scientific inquiry, has confirmed that there is not one, single, independently confirmed piece of scientific evidence for an alien abduction. Not one. In fact when pressed further, most proponents themselves back off the importance of such 'conventional' data, and point instead to what they refer to as the real evidence for abductions; that is, the similarities in the stories themselves, and the sincerity and emotionality with which they are told. This then is the true heart of the alien abduction phenomenon and the focus of our documentary."
I am no fan of Leftist-biased PBS. I place the link and statement here because as far as I am aware, the statement is true.
Watching YT videos of supposed evidence of alien abduction cannot, by definition be called empirical evidence of extraterrestrial involvement. I remain convinced, by the weight of evidence, the only living creatures we can know of, based on the Bible, that would do harm to a human being, are Lucifer and the angels cast out of heaven. That's it. Allusions in the Bible to life beyond Earth place such life in harmony and loyalty to God. The 99 sheep need no rescue or salvation. They would not harm people created in God's image. Such a notion is ludicrous.
The guy interviewed denied devils/demons are physical. The very first promise in the Bible denies such a claim:
Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee [the serpent, i.e. Lucifer], and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
The seed of the woman would ultimately bring forth a real, physical Messiah: Immanuel, God with us. The devil's seed, Rome, apostate Israel, would bruise the Messiah's "heel." Though crucified, the Messiah rose from the dead and lives forevermore. Messiah would give a head wound to Lucifer, a mortal wound, in which a real, physical creature would die and stay dead forevermore. Just because angels are supernatural, above the natural elements of our world, does not mean they are not physical. Supernatural physicality is not non-physical. It's a different physical than our existence of solid, liquid and gas. Christ walked through walls after His resurrection, right into the presence of His disciples. Was He physical? Yes. Was he bound by our dimension? No.
Satan is the god of this world - 2Cor. 4:4; the "archon:" the prince, the ruler of this world - John 12:31, 14:30, 16:11; he is the "archon" of the power of the air - Eph 2:2; he is Beelzebub, the "archon:" the prince, the chief of devils." His powers are beyond what humans can understand a living creature possessing. He and his hosts are supernatural creatures that can morph into other forms, they are liars, deceivers, our adversaries and accusers, who can possess people's minds, and thereby their bodies and bind them, control them... any believer who denies the biblical record of Lucifer, his fall, and the angel's who fell with him, cannot be called a Christian with a biblical worldview. The guy interviewed denied that the Bible states anything about angels being fallen!
Luke 10:17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
Rev 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Rev 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Just because something supernatural is shown in the Bible cannot instantly be charged to ETs. That is preposterous, especially when we already have biblical information of creatures who are supernatural and determined to destroy us. Good grief. Please, do let us have common sense.
I have stated, based on the evidence available, UFOs can be mistaken natural occurrences, international corporate inventions, international military inventions, or demonic activity. As a Christian, those are my options. Just because I believe in a populated universe does not mean I can have any room for acknowledging Grays, Lizards, and the rest of the supposed 4 or 5 dozen other ET species people claim to have communication with. How naive do you want rational people to be? I was an atheist. Any rationality I claimed to have towards God was shattered when my life was supernaturally changed in being born-again. That opened up a whole new paradigm. That does not mean I can invent paradigms to suit whatever is believed out there. Christians are supposed to have a biblical worldview. That is the sourcebook for information for getting to know God and the plan of salvation in human history. Of course it is out of harmony with the world because the world is out of harmony with the Creator of the world, and Christians cannot be friends with it in any way that would threaten or damage our connection to God. I had the continual impression the man interviewed had been "unequally yoked together with unbelievers," 2Cor 6:14.
I cannot deny "abductees" have had some kind of experience. I deny those experiences have anything to do with beings from other worlds. Not if the Bible is allowed to speak for itself.
This "Christian UFOlogy" is all going to play out in time ahead. I reckon it shall become part of the final, overmastering delusion. I have no doubts about that and become more and more convinced of it, almost by the week. Millions of professed Christians are going to be deceived because they are in spiritual, prophetic Babylon, confused, and shall be shocked beyond words when they realize they have been duped and conned and betrayed, and the fault shall lie at their own doors because they refused to acknowledge a complete and contextual Thus saith the Lord.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

450. A Stiff Reason I Must Reject Radical Leftism - December 12, 2021
Record breaking tornadic activity wipes out some towns, kills almost 100 people and injures 100s more. Tens of thousands of people are in shock, mourning, grief stricken, in dire and overwhelming situations. Stunned elected officials have no words. Clergy are almost silent, pummeled by the destruction in every direction. What can you say? We watch as drones fly above the wasteland that was towns and life, and videos the aftermath, and we just sit and shake our heads in disbelief that such destruction can take place so quickly.
All I see everywhere are headlines stating Democrats and Leftists blame Republicans and climate change deniers for the disaster. ?!?!?!
I can only agree with Dr. Michael Savage that Liberalism is a mental illness.
It is a hatred of humanity. It is void of all that is logical and prone to common sense. It has no cognizance of anything beyond its narrow field of view, which is my way or shut up.
I will remember Rush Limbaugh stating we will always need some Liberals around to show and remind us of what dangers face a Constitutional Republic and American way of life.
When even a lifelong employee of Leftist news organizations, states on his way out that he fears America is burning with us inside, you know something is truly upside down.

Leftism is the destruction of freedom, liberty, and life of any society that fully engages it.
An oddly interesting, if not cryptic editorial, copied and pasted verbatim:
"Karma is a bitch, the old saying goes.
Today we have an epidemic alright, but it’s not from the CCP virus, it’s from ‘progressives’ lining up to take the shot, along with their children.
There is no longer any doubt that these ‘vaccines’ have nothing to do with health, and everything to do with control, CCP style. It’s Nazi fascism with Chinese characteristics.
The long-term health effects are unknown, but we already know from the Pfizer/FDA data itself that an unacceptable percentage of those vaxed will suffer severe adverse reactions and death. The long-term effects suspected are increased cancers, blood clots, autoimmune disease, etc.
The spike proteins uploaded to the human body by the trillions are a toxin.
Massive vaccinations will cause a long-term health crisis for the West, which will result in trillions in healthcare costs piled on top of our already bloated budgets and runaway irresponsible spending by the Biden* presidency.
But wait, almost half the country wants nothing to do with the experimental gene therapies being forced upon us. These people just want to live their lives in freedom, especially medical freedom. They will not take the jab, no matter what. They especially will not allow their children to receive the death shots.
So we will end up with patriot ‘pure bloods’ and ‘progressives’ diseased by the hundreds of millions.
This is an experiment that Darwin could only dream of.
Talk about a ‘control group’.
Maybe God developed evolution and natural selection? Maybe there is no difference between God and science?
The science tells us that American patriots will survive and thrive, ‘progressives’ for the most part won’t.
How’s that for unintended consequences for the globalist depopulation cabal?"

451. The Confusion is Exponential - December 13, 2021
Over the decades I have come across people who believe Jesus Christ is divine, and existed before becoming a Babe in Bethlehem. They admitted they could not understand the incarnation but, they believed it.
Today, those numbers are dramatically fallen. Among American adults, Active Christians (meaning those who attend church four times a month or more), and the Unaffiliated; those with no formal connection to any religious faith, a new survey claims, while 91% of Americans celebrate Christmas, as little as 15% believe Christ existed before Bethlehem. 40% of professed Christians do not believe Christ existed before Bethlehem. That is astonishing.
https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2021/december/christmas-jesus-birth-son-god-existence-lifeway-survey.html?utm_source=wnd&utm_medium=wnd&utm_campaign=syndicated
More and more people are learning the connections between the ancient feast of Saturnalia and other pagan festivals and "Christmas." Jesus was not born on December 25th. Plenty of pagan deities were, though, and the infusion of the "Christmas" story into those myths became just one more natural progression of Romanism's attempt to modify the faith to make it easier for pagans to join it.
Obviously Santa Clause (or "saint" whoever), gift giving, parties, decorations and all the rest have nothing to do with the birth of the Messiah, add to that Black Friday, gross debt, incredible loneliness and you have a situation that is not even a shadow of the truth.
I've commented on Christmas before and it is what it is but, my observations look at the practical results of conflating the popular stories and myths with the actual, biblical text of the incarnation and the theological position that should be taken by professed Christians. The two have culturally become so entwined as to be little more than mass confusion; Babylon.
The Bible is silent on observing the birth of Christ. Yet the entire world has come to the place where Christmas traditions rule, and the entire biblical truth of "God with us," has gotten pushed aside for 40% of "Active Christians."
The entire plan of salvation, the entire religion of the Bible is based on the reality of the necessity for the Creator to die for His creation to save it from the power and penalty of sin. God became a man to accomplish that.
1Tim 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
And look how Paul emphatically claims it. "Without controversy." Nobody in the first century church had a question about the fact that God was manifested in the flesh. God became a man, to live as mankind, to struggle as mankind, to save mankind. Everybody in the faith believed that.
Basically we have a world, the professing Christian world, that has this story about a baby born in a manger that ended up being crucified. "What a shame. How terrible," says the world.
When I was a young Catholic boy I never knew Jesus Christ is the Creator. The Bible states it point blank but, I don't remember ever hearing such a truth. I don't remember it being taught in Catechism. When I found that out my mind exploded with wonder.
Frankly, this is one of the reasons proponents of Darwinism and Materialism and Naturalism are seen as those who not only disbelieve but, completely abandon the purpose of salvation to nothing: meaningless. I'm okay. Your okay. Live life. Die. Done. That is their worldview. If they can just empirically prove everything came from nothing, they can defeat the influence of religion in the world and things will be rational. So they think.
Did you see the comment made by a local official in an American city that things have become like the movie, The Purge? Destruction of property and looting at will. In Chicago, an expensive car dealership castigated Mayor Lori Lightfoot for her total lack of dealing with the situation, as that dealership was busted into and an enormous amount of dollar value theft of jewelry was taken out by thieves, looters at will.
We are drawing near to the end of the world, my friends. It is far worse then people imagine.
If Christmas stopped this year. If it was never observed again, the world would carry on. Some cultures have for ages. They are not professed Christian societies. They don't do Christmas. Right now, in Kentucky, thousands of people have far more on their minds than Christmas. Their homes were blown away. Their jobs and places of business were flattened. Their lives are in chaos. Lives were damaged and lost. December 25th will come and go, and benevolent organizations will do what they can to try and lift the spirits of people devastated by the tornadoes but, something so much worse is taking place than all the tornadoes in American history.
People have been injected with microscopic invaders that studies are showing will cause health problems for all who have received 2 or more shots. An event is taking place unlike any other in human history, that makes Christmas, or the lack thereof, meaningless if you do not believe God became a man to live and die for man, in his place, to save mankind from the power and penalty of sin. "ALL have sinned..." All have no hope without the plan of salvation. Pretty lights, trees, ornaments, candy canes, hot cocoa, eggnog, gifts piled to the ceiling, families, dinners, caroling, all of it is totally useless and meaningless to salvation of humankind. All the good that is done, all the love, all the beneficence, all the help, all the better side of humanity that may be seen, means nothing to the salvation of every person engaged in the entire cultural experience.
To have even 1% of professed Christians not believe Christ existed before He became a man shows a dangerous lack of instruction on the basics of the faith. 40%? That's a catastrophe. Half the population of planet Earth carrying microscopic invaders in their blood, there is no word in the English language that can state the enormity of the situation and what is coming, and even all that pales in comparison to the world, a lost world, facing the King of kings and Lord of lords when He returns in power and glory and is destroyed by the brightness of His coming.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Today, those numbers are dramatically fallen.

And look how Paul emphatically claims it. "Without controversy." Nobody in the first century church had a question about the fact that God was manifested in the flesh. God became a man, to live as mankind, to struggle as mankind, to save mankind. Everybody in the faith believed that.
Basically we have a world, the professing Christian world, that has this story about a baby born in a manger that ended up being crucified. "What a shame. How terrible," says the world.
When I was a young Catholic boy I never knew Jesus Christ is the Creator. The Bible states it point blank but, I don't remember ever hearing such a truth. I don't remember it being taught in Catechism. When I found that out my mind exploded with wonder.
Frankly, this is one of the reasons proponents of Darwinism and Materialism and Naturalism are seen as those who not only disbelieve but, completely abandon the purpose of salvation to nothing: meaningless. I'm okay. Your okay. Live life. Die. Done. That is their worldview. If they can just empirically prove everything came from nothing, they can defeat the influence of religion in the world and things will be rational. So they think.
Did you see the comment made by a local official in an American city that things have become like the movie, The Purge? Destruction of property and looting at will. In Chicago, an expensive car dealership castigated Mayor Lori Lightfoot for her total lack of dealing with the situation, as that dealership was busted into and an enormous amount of dollar value theft of jewelry was taken out by thieves, looters at will.
We are drawing near to the end of the world, my friends. It is far worse then people imagine.
If Christmas stopped this year. If it was never observed again, the world would carry on. Some cultures have for ages. They are not professed Christian societies. They don't do Christmas. Right now, in Kentucky, thousands of people have far more on their minds than Christmas. Their homes were blown away. Their jobs and places of business were flattened. Their lives are in chaos. Lives were damaged and lost. December 25th will come and go, and benevolent organizations will do what they can to try and lift the spirits of people devastated by the tornadoes but, something so much worse is taking place than all the tornadoes in American history.
People have been injected with microscopic invaders that studies are showing will cause health problems for all who have received 2 or more shots. An event is taking place unlike any other in human history, that makes Christmas, or the lack thereof, meaningless if you do not believe God became a man to live and die for man, in his place, to save mankind from the power and penalty of sin. "ALL have sinned..." All have no hope without the plan of salvation. Pretty lights, trees, ornaments, candy canes, hot cocoa, eggnog, gifts piled to the ceiling, families, dinners, caroling, all of it is totally useless and meaningless to salvation of humankind. All the good that is done, all the love, all the beneficence, all the help, all the better side of humanity that may be seen, means nothing to the salvation of every person engaged in the entire cultural experience.
To have even 1% of professed Christians not believe Christ existed before He became a man shows a dangerous lack of instruction on the basics of the faith. 40%? That's a catastrophe. Half the population of planet Earth carrying microscopic invaders in their blood, there is no word in the English language that can state the enormity of the situation and what is coming, and even all that pales in comparison to the world, a lost world, facing the King of kings and Lord of lords when He returns in power and glory and is destroyed by the brightness of His coming.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

452. In the Age of "Let's Go Brandon" - December 14, 2021
There's a lot of stuff I don't pay much attention to and it took me awhile before I checked out what "Let's Go Brandon" actually stands for. The background story is pretty amusing, I have to admit. Now it's everywhere, and now, as per usual, Leftists running social media sites and other places are censoring the phrase. I'll admit, as well, it's a better phrase than "F--- Joe Biden." I have never had any respect for the man. I have always just seen him as a Maryland gangster and creepy individual, even when politics/national issues meant nothing to me. Dropping the F bomb by the tens of thousands of American citizens at sporting events is not a great example or promotion of civility to the world.
This is not about "Brandon," though.
You will never see or hear me state every group, philosophy, ideology, or every professed faith does not have its share of people who speak and act before they think. Every group has those proponents. Every group contains ignorant people; people who do not practice critical thinking and weigh evidence before drawing conclusions. It is also found in the top tiers of leaders of groups, not just those without positions of responsibility and trust. Sometimes it appears those at the top are the ones who practice the least amount of critical thinking.
I do not believe in making fun of people. Do you know why? Two reasons. One, making fun of one person may place their supporters out of reach for the truth because they get offended or hurt. It is useless to needlessly offend anyone. Offending someone just to offend them is an act of incivility and only makes situations worse. Two, the Bible speaks against it:
Pro 26:18 As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
Pro 26:19 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
"Oh, c'mon. I'm just kidding." No, it is often the case those who make fun of others are not kidding around. They mean what they say. It's a deception. Comics make their living doing it. A recent SNL broadcast, apparently said something really disgusting about a man's wife; a man who is definitely an enemy of Leftists, and been literally hunted down by them and had a nighttime FBI home invasion to take him into custody on completely bogus charges. Comedy is no longer funny. It's as politically charged with a lack of critical thinking as anything else.
Hyperbole is the same. Exaggeration under most circumstances is understood as such, when people are trying to make points about various subject matter. The thing is, the hyperbole can cover a heinous act or plan.
Take, for example, Professor Stephan Lewandowsky. He's the chair of cognitive psychology at the University of Bristol, in England. Is this statement just making sport of people, just hyperbole? Calling people who refuse the injection "hardcore refuseniks," he stated:
“They’ll refuse anything – ‘I’m not going to wear a mask’, ‘I’m not going to get vaccinated’, ‘I don’t think climate change is happening’, ‘Covid is a hoax’, and, you know, ‘Hillary Clinton is actually a reptilian shapeshifter’."
Funny stuff, right? Because I have actual, scientific and personal health reasons, as well a religious reasons why I will not take the injections, nor wear a mask, for that matter, I believe Hilary Clinton is a reptilian shape shifter.
So, now that he has made fun of me in a ridiculous way, what's the purpose?
“You’re getting to people who hold a cluster of very exotic beliefs – now, they’re very difficult to reach.”
“In the ideal world, time and money permitting, you can engage even those people in a very slow, long-term process where you affirm their right to have those beliefs… rather than telling them something about themselves they don’t want to hear, let’s put it that way.
“So you tell them something positive, and then engage in what is effectively the same as a deradicalisation process for former terrorists, or cult members.
“Because we’re really talking, when we get down to that small number of committed refusers, we’re talking about the psychology of cults and extremism, and it’s a very similar psychology.”
I would watch a debate between Mr. Lewandowsky and any, ANY knowledgeable person on the other side of this discussion. He would be disemboweled. Yes, that's hyperbole.
In a debate, the man would be literally turned inside out (more hyperbole). He could not survive such an ordeal (yep, more).
In a world where so much has been done to change it, just why are there not debates on this topic? Why is it Fauci and company are never interviewed with someone on the other side of this situation? If ever there was a reason to present two sides of an issue, this is it but, no. These elites are right because they say so, and that settles it. Fauci is the science. I would even venture to say such a debate, a real debate of sufficient length to address the topic, might end up being the most watched televised event in history. That would certainly feed an ego, would it not? You would think Fauci would jump at the chance to be seen by billions of people mopping the floor with another person too ignorant to realize he is the science. And yet, no such debates take place. The answer as to why is so obvious it is almost painful to contemplate: not only is Fauci not the science, he has no science or protocols to back up what he has espoused for years. His own character and practices would be laid out for a planet to see and he cannot risk that. The cabal cannot risk that. The plan cannot risk that.
So, now that Lewandowsky has informed me I am a radical terrorist and cult member, and an extremist, I need to be aware he'd like to see me in some kind of Orwellian reeducation camp. Not hyperbole.
The rest of the article is just as in-your-face. You should take a look at it because if the elites get their way, it will happen. It is already happening in Australia and New Zealand and on the very precipice in Europe. I'll add Oregon and California and New York because only radical, demented minds would order people to wear masks inside their own homes, and then feel free to walk around without a mask on, get photographed and basically be informing people, "I am not like you. I am better than you. I am not bound by the rule of law I create." They will not add, "I am a hypocrite" but, I will.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/covid-people-one-university-of-bristol-hillary-clinton-b1971695.html
As more and more people rise up, a confrontation of historical, epic, even biblical proportions is coming.
I will add and end with this. I have mentioned the Christian authoress, Ellen White, a number of times in this blog. White was a seventh-day Sabbath keeper, a member of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination. In her role as a messenger for the Lord, having the spiritual gift of prophecy, she saw lots of stuff. In her writings she states those who shall keep the Sabbath of the Lord when the time of trouble builds and bursts, that remnant shall be called, "Old fashioned," "strait-laced," "extremists," "mad," "radical," "insane," "visionaries," and other tin-hat-type derogatory denunciations for their "hardcore refusenik" position.
Well, Jesus was called Beelzebub, prince of devils. The disciples were called ignorant - "idiotes," obviously the Greek word we get the word 'idiot' from. Christians down through the ages have been called just about everything you can imagine. Anybody expecting anything different today is just being unreasonable and naive. Reading what Jesus said about how His people would be treated is anything BUT, a positive PR program.
The Babylonian mindset is being laid out right now, as it always has been but, with a world-wide singularity of intention. From the unvaccinated 'refuseniks' now, to those blamed for every problem on planet Earth, to come, those who stand for truth always have been and always will be vilified and castigated, blamed, lied about, slandered and denounced as traitors of some kind or other. That's reality, not hyperbole.
Get ready.

Rogan/McCullough Interview: Hope?
A 3-hour interview by Joe Rogan of Dr. Peter McCullough is going viral for a good reason. McCullough stays medical. This is not to say he could not go nuclear. He endorses the work of people who have but, the good doctor stays with the medical data addressing the medical event, not so much the "why" of it, and he knows boatloads of it.
I have had great concerns for people I know who have been injected. While there are differences of opinion and belief as to how this event is going to ultimately play out, McCullough presents data that those who have had a couple shots and have not had any severe reactions may never have them: their immune systems may be robust enough to address the mRNA ingredients in their bodies. That said, getting more shots, per the "official" propaganda, is decidedly not a good move and he explains why.
A great deal of information is presented with some I was not familiar with, after reading so much about this event in the last 23 months, and McCullough does a great job of it.

18 U.S. CODE 241 and 242
The United States of America is a Constitutional Republic. It operates by the Rule of Law, not the whims of a majority. Well, it should operate by the rule of law no one is above. Corruption has drastically changed that. The federal, state and local governments basically do whatever they want today, unbound by the limits of the rule of law. The laws are there, nonetheless. Here are two -
18 U.S. Code § 241 - Conspiracy against rights
If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or
If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured--
They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 696; Pub. L. 90–284, title I, § 103(a), Apr. 11, 1968, 82 Stat. 75; Pub. L. 100–690, title VII, § 7018(a), (b)(1), Nov. 18, 1988, 102 Stat. 4396; Pub.

18 U.S. Code § 242 - Deprivation of rights under color of law
Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

The violation of these two laws has been more rampant during this "pandemic" than anything America has seen in my lifetime. The severity is there. If anyone dies from any kind of conspiracy that deprives citizen's rights, they can be held accountable by and under the rule of law.
I am no "expert" of U.S. law, and came upon these two laws and some explanation of them, applying to this situation, watching a Stew Peters program; a segment with Karen Kingston. She continues to impress me more and more with her tenacity to research in every available area of life this event has touched our lives.
https://www.redvoicemedia.com/2021/12/stew-peters-show-time-to-arrest-covid-tyrants-peter-navarro-live-australia-bombshell-and-more/?utm_source=home-featured
The Kingston segment begins around 41:27. The opening segment of Australia is also riveting.
California has been at the forefront of violating law and rights for a long time yet, back in 1879 and beyond, CA used to be a real United State based on the rule of law. This is from the CA State Constitution -
ARTICLE I DECLARATION OF RIGHTS [SECTION 1 - SEC. 32]
( Article 1 adopted 1879. )
SEC. 1.
All people are by nature free and independent and have inalienable rights. Among these are enjoying and defending life and liberty, acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and pursuing and obtaining safety, happiness, and privacy.
(Sec. 1 added Nov. 5, 1974, by Proposition 7. Resolution Chapter 90, 1974.)
SEC. 2.
(a) Every person may freely speak, write and publish his or her sentiments on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of this right. A law may not restrain or abridge liberty of speech or press.
SEC. 4.
Free exercise and enjoyment of religion without discrimination or preference are guaranteed. This liberty of conscience does not excuse acts that are licentious or inconsistent with the peace or safety of the State. The Legislature shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.xhtml?lawCode=CONS&article=I
Regarding section 4, the State had argued back that Covid was dangerous to the peace and safety of the State and its citizenry and nobody argued it, until it became a real roadblock to common sense. Once a church hit the courtroom, a judge stopped the state from demanding churches stay closed. They have no right to impose closures when people are free to exercise their faith and rights of assembly, and the medical data did not back the extremes of the government's mandates.
The only thing that stands in the way of seeing the end of this event and the complete subjugation of law throughout it, by those in positions of elected civil service who violate rules of law, are sheriffs, attorneys general and judges, committed to the rule of law. As bad as things are, if people stand up and tell elected civil servants they are violating the law and will be held accountable, it is as Dr. Peter McCullough states: It's a game of chicken. If the people do not back down, they shall prevail.
18 U.S. Code § 241 - Conspiracy against rights
If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or
If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured--
They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

The violation of these two laws has been more rampant during this "pandemic" than anything America has seen in my lifetime. The severity is there. If anyone dies from any kind of conspiracy that deprives citizen's rights, they can be held accountable by and under the rule of law.
I am no "expert" of U.S. law, and came upon these two laws and some explanation of them, applying to this situation, watching a Stew Peters program; a segment with Karen Kingston. She continues to impress me more and more with her tenacity to research in every available area of life this event has touched our lives.

The Kingston segment begins around 41:27. The opening segment of Australia is also riveting.
California has been at the forefront of violating law and rights for a long time yet, back in 1879 and beyond, CA used to be a real United State based on the rule of law. This is from the CA State Constitution -
ARTICLE I DECLARATION OF RIGHTS [SECTION 1 - SEC. 32]
( Article 1 adopted 1879. )
SEC. 1.
All people are by nature free and independent and have inalienable rights. Among these are enjoying and defending life and liberty, acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and pursuing and obtaining safety, happiness, and privacy.
(Sec. 1 added Nov. 5, 1974, by Proposition 7. Resolution Chapter 90, 1974.)
SEC. 2.
(a) Every person may freely speak, write and publish his or her sentiments on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of this right. A law may not restrain or abridge liberty of speech or press.
SEC. 4.
Free exercise and enjoyment of religion without discrimination or preference are guaranteed. This liberty of conscience does not excuse acts that are licentious or inconsistent with the peace or safety of the State. The Legislature shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.xhtml?lawCode=CONS&article=I
Regarding section 4, the State had argued back that Covid was dangerous to the peace and safety of the State and its citizenry and nobody argued it, until it became a real roadblock to common sense. Once a church hit the courtroom, a judge stopped the state from demanding churches stay closed. They have no right to impose closures when people are free to exercise their faith and rights of assembly, and the medical data did not back the extremes of the government's mandates.
The only thing that stands in the way of seeing the end of this event and the complete subjugation of law throughout it, by those in positions of elected civil service who violate rules of law, are sheriffs, attorneys general and judges, committed to the rule of law. As bad as things are, if people stand up and tell elected civil servants they are violating the law and will be held accountable, it is as Dr. Peter McCullough states: It's a game of chicken. If the people do not back down, they shall prevail.

453. Another New Protected Class - December 16, 2021
Most of us watching world events knew this was coming sooner or later in America. I find it totally offensive to the rule of law and my own sense of right and wrong but, nobody has a right not to be offended.
Ilhan Omar, Radical Democrat Congressional Rep from Minnesota, fostered and enabled a law to be passed, 219-212 that oversees Islamophobia around the world. I immediately ask myself what does Congress have to do with overseeing anything around the world associated with religion? They do nothing about persecution of Christians by Muslims or other faiths in other nations, including this one. They do nothing about persecution of any other religions by Islam. They do nothing about persecution of dissidents in China or North Korea or elsewhere. Why should Islam gain special attention and an "office" established to oversee what is happening to Islam?
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/12/democrats-unanimously-pass-ilhan-omars-anti-islamophobia-act-cut-free-speech/
https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/5665
Now remember, a phobia is an irrational fear of something. The very term is a misnomer. People generally do not have an irrational fear of Islam or Muslims. The have a great deal of caution towards radical, militant Muslims performing terror attacks all over the world. That is not a phobia. That is a common sense reaction to facts and the woe associated with them.
https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/
Aside from Omar's personal history and radical, politically Marxist positions, I find it odd she can say whatever she wants to about Israel and Israelis but, a law now opens the door to deny free speech to people who see radical, militant Islam in a negative way? Seriously?
People defame, misrepresent, slam and castigate Christians with abandon in America and nothing happens. Nothing should happen. Free speech is free speech. Slander upon individual Christians is another matter but, even there most Christians let it go, knowing what Christ said, If they hate Me they will hate you. Love your enemies. Do good to those who despitefully use you.
Radical Democrats have become radical haters of those who object to their ideology of Marxism and their - anything we want is right so, sit down and shut up if you don't like it - mentality.
Ilhan Omar is an enemy of the Republic of the United States of America. She is a "domestic" enemy who stands up for "foreign" enemies. She literally speaks against the principles of Americanism. It is astonishing someone with her beliefs could be elected to the Congress of the United States. Well, the United States are not, anymore, so that is the reason why, for all intents and purposes.
I believe in the Constitution, of course, and no religious test shall be held for any elected office BUT, Islam has laws that stand against the laws of the Republic. They cannot be harmonized. Ben Carson made that point when he ran for the presidency in 2020, speaking about Sharia law. People were upset but, no one could undo his reasoning. He just laid out the facts. And, of course, Carson was accused of "Islamophobia."
I most emphatically and irrevocably believe no religious faith can contain a protected class. I hope the Senate strikes the law down. America does not need another specifically protected class. All Americans are protected by class restrictions none can or should change - "Race," religion, place of origin, etc. Sexual preferences in no way should be a protected class but, now that is too. Islam, by default, is already protected by the Bill of Rights, as are all religious faiths. It should receive no other specific protections.
Of course, a Leftist reading this, or someone that has affinity towards radical, militant Islam, could call me a hater. Oh, well. Nothing I can do about that. I'm not about to change my thoughts and positions on Ilhan Omar or what she stands for, nor radical, militant Islam.
I wonder how long those who believe as I do will retain liberty to declare those beliefs.
I remember back in the 90s talking with church members, preaching sermons, and mentioning on the radio program the time would come when "hate crimes" will be followed by "hate speech" and ultimately "hate thought." And here we are.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

545. The Mother of All Criminal Charges - December 17, 2021
If you are old enough to remember Sadam Hussein's "Mother of all wars" comment, you'll realize filing a criminal complaint against Who's Who list of players in the Covid event, like Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, Boris Johnson (UK PM), Tedros Ghebreyesus (WHO), Radiv Shah, Pharma CEOs, Peter Daszak, and others, for "Crimes Against Humanity," should be the first of others that shall come. Especially is that the case when a former Pfizer CEO is one of the people involved in filing the complaint for citizens of the UK and other nations. It includes an open letter from a holocaust survivor.
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/big-pharma-execs-gates-fauci-uk-officials-charged-with-crimes-against-humanity-in-international-court/
https://dailyexpose.uk/2021/12/10/uk-team-file-complaint-of-crimes-against-humanity-with-the-international-criminal-court/
https://www.globalresearch.ca/stop-the-covid-holocaust-open-letter/5755902
This is huge news. It's something that should have been done a year ago but, hindsight is 20/20.
Once again, I must, based on the weight of evidence, state that I believe this goes nowhere, simply because the International Criminal Court is populated with people from the same cabal responsible for this event. The ICC has no jurisdiction unless it is in cooperation with a nation's request. The UK, which is a group of nations, is not filing the complaint. Individual citizens are.
An eerily creepy looking building (its a building surrounded by a cage), the ICC is basically a Rottweiler with no teeth.
A case already filed against Bill Gates and his foundation and Adar Poonawalla, basically the Anthony Fauci of India, on behalf of citizens of India to the India Supreme Court for crimes against humanity, proceeds but, the power of the world's elite, at this point, is so massive they have been able to pull off the Covid event, planned decades ago. True, in India the Pharma companies to do not have immunity from legal prosecution, which is a good thing. Just the same, the money involved, remembering these companies already have criminal convictions against them and huge fines paid out, are almost impregnable. Well, for all intents and purposes, they are impregnable. They are literally "biblical" in nature when it comes to enemies of humanity. Their god is money. How many whistle blowers are necessary to convince people of that remains an open-ended situation.
Hey, I'll hold out a sliver of hope. Maybe someone on the court has a relative that has suffered from the injections. Of course, that would be pointed out as a conflict of interest and render that person null and void.
Like in America, few courts and judges are willing to listen to evidence on cases that could or will backlash upon them. If Grand Juries can be convened, an outcome might be different.
At the very least the case is now out in the open, as is the one in India. The court documents can be downloaded and viewed by any interested parties and rehearsed before millions of readers of alt news sites.
If the Main Stream News were not in the pockets of the cabal, the 24/7 news cycle would have brought all this evidence to light probably before the event could have even launched. That is what investigative reporting is and does. Multinational corporations that own the msm companies control what people are exposed to. I mean, c'mon, that's how the fear factory kept churning out fake news about cases and deaths for months and is still doing so with each new "variant," and will continue to do so as long as they can maintain control.
Have you noticed the absolute viral explosion of "fact check" sites. Yeah, of course, that's all part of the plan to control the narrative.
It does not matter what you say to me. My worldview is biblical. The Bible states as it was in the days of Noah, that's the way it's going to be before Christ returns, and that means wall to wall, sea to sea corruption.
A pushback will come, yes but, then a different type of corruption will take control. A corruption of religion and state joined at the hip.
People who believe corruption run by secular elites means the end of the world, have no understanding of what corruption by a combination of religion and government can pull off in the name of God. Of course, death is death, regardless of who persecutes and why. Christ did make the case known to his disciples and therefore us, that those who think they are doing God service by persecuting dissenters, will be the worst thing to come at God's people at the end of time.
Right now, many are claiming cognitive dissonance is behind the continued fear, ignorance and cooperation of millions of people and the medical community. Include money and payoffs in that reason, as well. That is not the same impetus as religious conviction. Religious conviction brings about fanaticism that is a force very little can keep down and stop.
I have been stating for 40 years things are going to get worse and here we are, some doing better than others but, we are watching a world going mad. It is a true world war and we are really not wrestling, fighting against flesh and blood. We are fighting Satanic forces waging war on humanity. It does not matter if those forces are secular or religious. If they are under the control of the father of lies and the murderer from the beginning, while the gates of hell cannot prevail against the church of Jesus Christ, it most certainly can prevail over everything else.
God help us.

455. The Seven Last Plagues, Parts 1 and 2 - December 18, 2021
Life is a classroom. Every day of life people are learning things about themselves, others, and things around them or far away. Life is an education and all of it is at the hands of a Creator with a singular purpose in mind: saving the human race from sin. With all there is to learn, that lesson, salvation from the effects of sin, is the one that seems totally lost on the human race. As time moves along, century after century, the human race draws ever closer to another world-wide, cataclysmic event. Sin is alive, in the sense that a fire is alive. Fires gains strength with combustion. Sin gains strength with an emotional fire of pleasures that can ruin us.
As I type, the singer, Billie Eilish, has related how pornography, since she was eleven years old, destroyed her mind. As the world population practices sin, which is transgression of God's moral law - the Ten Commandments - the power of sin increases. It shall increase to the point where a final generation of planet Earth shall reflect the image, the character of the great rebel and archdeceiver. A world lost in sin, save for those who connect to God and allow Him to save them from the corruption that is in the world through lust.
For many people the logical thing to do is just leave the planet to itself; leave the population to itself to be wiped out, finally, by the effects of sin on each and every mind. Of course, that leaves Lucifer and his host, as supernatural creatures, to yet exist. One could suppose, they too, would turn on each other and finally destroy themselves, somehow. Maybe Satan would commit some kind of suicide. Then, that's it.
Well, Earth, despite what beauty it has retained after the Flood and after constant physical upheaval, millennia after millennia, is a blight, a cancerous cell, or tumor, if you will. The universe is meant to be free of sin, free of the curse and all its effects. Therefore the Creator is going to remove it from existence and replace it with a New Earth someday.
God is love. Like any human parent there are times when "tough love" is required in the education process of children. Notice this passage in Isaiah:
Isa 26:9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
Isa 26:10 Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
Isa 26:11 LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.
Judgments; physical calamity and catastrophe, personal upheavals in life, all kinds of suffering is a consequence of sin, somehow, some way. God sends or allows it all to happen, that humans will learn the way of righteousness. If nothing bad ever happened, if God shielded the world from the effects of sin, righteousness would never be learned; people would just get worse and worse in dealing unjustly; and what we see today, right now, is a cascade of elitists, top on down, attempting to gain full control of the world because power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Many will ask, "Why is God allowing it all to happen?" Because the classroom is coming to a close, again. The demonstrations of God's love to a lost world are showing the universe that Lucifer was wrong in his rebellion of lies against God, His law and His character. Lucifer is a liar. The universe sees it, many on Earth see it. All do not yet see it but, they shall, and unfortunately they shall exhaust their chances for repentance and change towards righteousness in the process.
Never forget, a universe filled with life exists. I have addressed that previously and the Bible alludes to life beyond Earth to let us know it's there but, our concentrations must be on here, not out there. They are fine. We are not. We are the lost sheep and need rescuing. The 99 are safe and okay. The sons of God are fine; in peace and harmony with the Creator.
So, with that background, now let's look at the seven last plagues. Most are familiar with the first ten plagues, that fell upon Egypt when Pharaoh refused to let the Israelites leave. They were not just random scourges. Each was designed to make a point, that Pharaoh and the Egyptians should learn righteousness; learn that there is no God but Yehovah, and He must be obeyed, for our good and peace and happiness, in a world fraught with sin and rebellion.
You can read about those plagues in Exodus chapters 5 - 15. I'll list them here:
1. Water became blood
2. Frogs
3. Gnats
4. Flies
5. Death of livestock
6. Boils
7. Hail
8. Locusts
9. Darkness
10. Death of the Firstborn
There is a sermon in each of those events. Suffice to say, the Egyptians had many deities they worshiped. They worshiped the Nile river. Frogs were seen as a type of representation of deity. Livestock was precious, in some cases, also worshiped. It remains so in India, with their religion and deities, today. Men were gods, in the case of Pharaohs. They had sky deities, and obviously, as most pagan societies, they worshiped the sun. Logic would scream the death of the first born, especially with the Hebrews observing the first Passover ceremony and not losing their firstborn, that the God of the Hebrews was an all powerful deity with powers exhibited in real-time. It caused plenty of Egyptians to acknowledge Him, and they left Egypt with the Hebrews.
God attempted to educate the Egyptians that their gods were nothing. They had no power to save them, protect them, advance them, nothing. Yehovah made that point so clear yet, He knew Pharaoh's heart and mind; knew how Pharaoh would respond, and chose that Pharaoh to be the example of satanic rebellion necessary to make a point about the worthlessness of rebellion against the Creator. Each plague was designed to show Pharaoh and his house, the Egyptians, and even the Hebrews that Yehovah is God alone. The first three plagues fell upon all. The last seven, only upon the Egyptians. Rather than kneel before such a deity, Pharaoh got more and more aggravated and vengeful. It cost him his kingdom and his life when the armies of Egypt drowned in the Red Sea.
The Seven Last Plagues are of the same quality of heaven's education process for all the world, and all the watching universe. Just and true and righteous are His ways. Each plague designed to show the futility of rebellion and choices made against God's authority.
Part 2
Revelation, chapter 15 opens the scene. John, in vision, sees the redeemed standing on the sea of glass, mingled with fire. Imagine a building so big its floor is like a sea. It reflects the glory of God from every direction and it seems on fire. There the redeemed stand victorious before their Creator and Father of all that is good. Despite the catastrophe about to take place, John is given another view of victory for God's people to reassure him.
Then he sees the temple in Heaven and seven angels, with golden breastplates, carrying bowls with a plague in each one. The wrath of God, unmingled with mercy (Rev 14:10), is about to be poured out on planet Earth. In times past, the judgments of God contained a mixture of mercy. Even in devastation, God has shown elements of mercy, forgiveness, and hope that all is not lost. God is in control. He owns all the silver, all the gold, and cattle on a thousand hills. All is His, not ours. He is in control and gifts mankind with all we have. The earth is His and the fulness thereof. The universe is His and in His control. Choose to obey. Choose to cooperate. Choose to fellowship with your Creator. Receive the promise of eternal life when this mess is finally over. But, for the world, probation shall close. Investigative judgment will cease, all cases decided. Execution of judgment will begin. God's people, the remnant that keep, guard the commandments of God and the faith and testimony of Jesus, will be protected from the worst scourges ever experienced by the human race.
Remember the plagues are God's statement to a rebellious world thinking they have everything under control. Whether or not the plagues are the result of a world waxing old as a garment or supernatural in nature is moot. God is in control of all, and His timing is perfect. The world has turned on God, turned on His people and removed their ability to buy and sell and threatened them with physical harm if they will not cooperate. God responds.
Rev 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
1. Bad, wicked ulcers - Cries of peace and safety, security went up from the lips of billions caught up in delusions and deceptions because they refused to acknowledge a Thus saith the Lord. There is no safety or security apart from God. Whether something from the dissolving of nature's barriers to ultraviolet rays or supernatural in nature, skin cancer breaks out upon humanity. All those who chose the mark of man's authority in matters of religion, all those who looked to the American apostasy for guidance, develop unexplainable sores on their bodies.
Rev 16:3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
2. The seas become as the blood of a dead man - Upon death, blood coagulates, becomes jelly-like. If you remember in our look at the fall of Babylon, the merchants of the Earth bewail her fall as their ships upon the sea no longer provide commerce. And here is that event. Every living thing in the oceans die. Oxygen is destroyed in a coagulated, thick gelatinous mess. Ships sink, world commerce halts. The world goes ballistic in terror of what is happening.
Rev 16:4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
Rev 16:5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
Rev 16:6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
Rev 16:7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
3. All freshwater sources becomes blood - Anyone who has seen the effects of a "red tide" know the results of oxygen deprived water from bacteria that fills areas and fish just die by the tens of thousands. From the oceans to all bodies of fresh water: streams, rivers, lakes, taps are flowing red, and the Bible states point blank, it is blood. God's people have been persecuted to death down through the ages, right to the end of time. If mankind is so bloodthirsty, God gives them blood to drink. The world grows insane with horror and hate. Remember: a cage of every unclean and hateful bird - predators. The world fills with predators in a cage, hungering to get out.
Rev 16:8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
Rev 16:9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
4. The scorching of the skin with heat and fire - Some call this a complete destruction of the Ozone layer, something natural. Whether natural or supernatural, the timing is in God's hands, not man's. And as Isaiah recorded, men will not learn righteousness when God's judgments arrive. They should but, no. They blaspheme God's name - His character - and blame it all on Him, not themselves and their own rebellion and choices. They do not repent. They would tear God off His throne if they could. In calling His character into question they boldly reveal their own. They chose the day of the sun, the Sunday, not God's Sabbath rest. If they want to worship the venerabilis dei solis, so be it. God gives it to them.
As the world grows in shock in its terror, the promises of God are sure:
Isa 33:14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
Isa 33:15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;
Isa 33:16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
Isa 33:17 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
God's people, in prisons, dungeons, out in the caves and strongholds of the wilderness, cast out of society, demonized, hunted, like in times past and now, God's promises are there. Their bread and water shall be sure. No, no seven course meals and merrymaking. Bread and water. Simple sustenance to get His people through the time of trouble such as never was, or ever shall be.
Rev 16:10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
Rev 16:11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
5. Darkness. Like back in Egypt, God repeats some things because it is always the same. The Devil uses what works. He deceives by creating an atmosphere of intelligence, expertism, man-made authority which always, ALWAYS goes bad without the guidance of God. Picture the scene. A supernaturally controlled darkness falls over Rome, the Vatican, and over each Roman Catholic church and property, the kingdom of the Beast. Can you imagine the anger that rises? The world is in gross pain. They chose the Papal light for authority but, it is not light. It is darkness. It is subjugation of light. It is deception in the name of Christ. Jesus is the way, the truth and the light. God's people fellowship in His light. He is the light that shines on every person born into this world so, there are no excuses. All had a chance to live in the light of God's presence and watch-care but, the world wants its way, not God's. He offers His truth, His spoken words that proceed from His mouth to His earthly children. They choose the words of men and disaster is the result.
This sets up the unique nature of the sixth plague.
Rev 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
Rev 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
Rev 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
6. The drying up of the Euphrates river - Remember, Revelation is a book of symbolism. What was the literal Euphrates river? It was the foundation of a support system for all of ancient Babylon. What is the support system of modern, spiritual, prophetic Babylon? State power. The union of church and state. As the plagues envelope the Earth, the nations realize what has happened with their foolish choices. They pull back their support of the Vatican and her daughters. Everything is falling apart. Everything is in chaos.
The kings of the East.
Isa 41:1 Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.
Isa 41:2 Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow.
Isa 41:3 He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet.
Isa 41:4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.
Isa 41:5 The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.
Isa 41:6 They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage.
Isa 45:1 Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
Isa 45:2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
Isa 45:3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
Isa 45:4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
Isa 45:5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
Isa 45:6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
Isa 46:8 Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.
Isa 46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
Isa 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
Isa 46:11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
God called Cyrus over a century before he was born, to be a deliverer for His people, captives in Babylon. He came from the East, defeated Babylon, with Darius, the Mede, and ultimately let God's people go home.
It is claimed Cyrus was shown Isaiah's prophecy, written almost a century and a half before Cyrus was born, and it moved the king greatly, and resulted in the king allowing the Jews to go home and rebuild their temple.
The confusion on earth during the sixth plague sets up the return of Messiah, who shall come like lightening that shines from the East to the West (Matt. 24:27), to recuse His people from a death decree. Kill God's people, all will be well, is the insanity of a world gone mad. The tables are completely turned.
Rev 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Rev 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Rev 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Rev 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Three unclean spirits, like frogs.
While God's angels are pouring out the plagues, and the return of Christ is set up to go, Satan's angels get busy in the midst of the chaos. How do frogs catch their prey? Their tongues.
Out of the mouths of Satan's paganism, the Catholic Church and her daughters - apostate Protestantism, goes the final impact of fake religious revival. Speaking in tongues, confused gibberish, with more false "miracles" and wonders to hold the union of rebellion together; to convince the nations of the world to hang on, the answer is at hand. Death to all the Sabbath keepers, the troublers of Israel, the reason for the destructions at hand.
Remember what you are seeing right now in this world, of an attitude building towards the "unvaccinated." The attitude of blame and vengeance lives. It will get exponentially worse at the end of time. The hatred, the ultimate appearance of the character of Satan shall be revealed in all humanity, to show the universe the time has arrived. The final battle between good and evil.
Rev 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
Rev 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
Christ is not coming secretly. He is coming as a surprise to the world! Nothing secret about it.
His promise is to those who have watched and prayed and guarded the garment of righteous He has clothed them with. The world walks "naked," no covering of Christ's righteousness. Their shame is fully revealed. The battle of Armageddon, Har Megiddo, the mountain of slaughter, awaits.
Jdg 5:18 Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.
Jdg 5:19 The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.
Jdg 5:20 They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
Jdg 5:21 The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.
From the song of Deborah, the prophetess who led Israel to victory, a slaughter took place by the waters of Megiddo. A slaughter is going to take place at the end of time, as sure as the essence of the stars moving in constant perfect order in their created paths.
1Kings 18:17 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
1Kings 18:18 And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.
The unrighteous consistently blame the righteous when trouble falls. Ahab blamed Elijah for the drought plaguing the land. It was not Elijah's fault. It was Ahab's, for forsaking God's commandments and worshiping Baal and the false god's of the nations around them.
1Kings 18:19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table.
One of the greatest stories in the Bible. The battle on Mount Carmel. The fire of the Lord fell and not only devoured the sacrifice but, licked up all the water Elijah had the priests of Baal drown the sacrifice in. The people cried out, Yehovah, He is God! Yehovah, He is God!
Then another slaughter took place; the judgment of God came upon the false religious leaders; the priests and prophets of Baal; worshippers of the sun god, the corrupters of the nation.
1Kings 18:40 And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.
Rev 16:17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
Rev 16:18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
Rev 16:19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
Rev 16:20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
Rev 16:21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
7. The Earthquake and Hail - Never has the world experienced such an Earthquake, a literal Earthquake. The entire planet shall shake and the mountains shall fall into the earth, cities collapse to rubble. 150lb. hailstones fall, as the artillery of God pummels the satanic rebellion and destroys the great monuments to human ingenuity. They are all shattered like clay before the Almighty.
Rev 19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
Rev 19:18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
Rev 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Rev 19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
Psa 50:3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
Psa 50:4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
Psa 50:5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
Psa 50:6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.
2Th 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
2Th 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
2Th 1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
2Th 1:10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
2Th 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
Rev 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
Rev 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Rev 6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Rev 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Rev 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Rev 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
The wrath of a Lamb? Seems contradictory, doesn't it? Well, Jesus is the Lion and the Lamb. He is all in all. And while one might think the Lion should be represented in the cataclysm of the second coming and end of the world, the Lamb is chosen to represent the scene. Christ is the Lamb who was sacrificed for the world, and the kings of this earth, the supposed great men, they cannot stand that thought of self-sacrifice unless it involves money and wealth but, all the gold and silver will not help them in the day the glory of Christ is revealed. They are portrayed as crying out for rocks and mountains to fall on them rather than look into the Face of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Jer 4:23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
Jer 4:24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
Jer 4:25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
Jer 4:26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.
Jer 4:27 For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
Jer 4:28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.
Jer 4:29 The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
Jer 4:30 And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
Jer 4:31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.
The prophet Jeremiah beheld the land after the destruction of the Babylonian armies. It is a bigger scene, though. Telltale words and phrases enlarge the event. It is the destruction of prophetic Babylon and all the world when Christ returns. The planet becomes a wasteland. Aftershocks take place. All life is gone. Darkness. The Earth may be knocked out of its orbit. It just floats in the darkness of space. Satan bound. Rebel angels bound and for a 1000 years must contemplate their senseless, foolish, destructive revolt and rebellion against the kingdom of God.
I addressed the millennium in another post and what happens at the very end. The lake of fire kindled by the full glory of God (Our God is a consuming fire), that shall consume the planet. Lucifer gone, his angels gone, the rebellious of all ages gone, the curse of sin gone. Everything reduced to ashes. God shall recreate the Earth from the ashes of the old. Peace again restored. Harmony, tranquility, a universe to explore. A continuation of creation and fantastic things from the voice of God. The redeemed shall travel the universe with Christ and testify to its inhabitants what their experiences were like to have lived and fought the good fight of faith.
Yeah, in light of the influence of Hollywood, it all seems a fantasy, a tale, just a story from an ancient book. You can believe that if you want. Your choice. God is trying to educate you, instruct you, to get you ready for what is to come. Nobody denies Cyrus lived as a king. Why would anyone deny God called him before he was born, written down over a century before anyone knew his name, and that the whole Bible is filled with truth?
The Bible is two thirds prophecy. Did you know that? Even in all the history there is prophesy. God is God because He can tell us the end, from the beginning. Things to come are already seen by Him; known from eternity. You. He knows you. He knows your life. He knows every struggle. He knows every event and knew it all before you were born.
Psa 56:8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
It's all written down. Goes knows. He cares. He loves you. You are not alone. He's calling you. He really is.
What will you answer?
"As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
As I type, the singer, Billie Eilish, has related how pornography, since she was eleven years old, destroyed her mind. As the world population practices sin, which is transgression of God's moral law - the Ten Commandments - the power of sin increases. It shall increase to the point where a final generation of planet Earth shall reflect the image, the character of the great rebel and archdeceiver. A world lost in sin, save for those who connect to God and allow Him to save them from the corruption that is in the world through lust.
For many people the logical thing to do is just leave the planet to itself; leave the population to itself to be wiped out, finally, by the effects of sin on each and every mind. Of course, that leaves Lucifer and his host, as supernatural creatures, to yet exist. One could suppose, they too, would turn on each other and finally destroy themselves, somehow. Maybe Satan would commit some kind of suicide. Then, that's it.
Well, Earth, despite what beauty it has retained after the Flood and after constant physical upheaval, millennia after millennia, is a blight, a cancerous cell, or tumor, if you will. The universe is meant to be free of sin, free of the curse and all its effects. Therefore the Creator is going to remove it from existence and replace it with a New Earth someday.
God is love. Like any human parent there are times when "tough love" is required in the education process of children. Notice this passage in Isaiah:
Isa 26:9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
Isa 26:10 Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
Isa 26:11 LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.
Judgments; physical calamity and catastrophe, personal upheavals in life, all kinds of suffering is a consequence of sin, somehow, some way. God sends or allows it all to happen, that humans will learn the way of righteousness. If nothing bad ever happened, if God shielded the world from the effects of sin, righteousness would never be learned; people would just get worse and worse in dealing unjustly; and what we see today, right now, is a cascade of elitists, top on down, attempting to gain full control of the world because power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Many will ask, "Why is God allowing it all to happen?" Because the classroom is coming to a close, again. The demonstrations of God's love to a lost world are showing the universe that Lucifer was wrong in his rebellion of lies against God, His law and His character. Lucifer is a liar. The universe sees it, many on Earth see it. All do not yet see it but, they shall, and unfortunately they shall exhaust their chances for repentance and change towards righteousness in the process.
Never forget, a universe filled with life exists. I have addressed that previously and the Bible alludes to life beyond Earth to let us know it's there but, our concentrations must be on here, not out there. They are fine. We are not. We are the lost sheep and need rescuing. The 99 are safe and okay. The sons of God are fine; in peace and harmony with the Creator.
So, with that background, now let's look at the seven last plagues. Most are familiar with the first ten plagues, that fell upon Egypt when Pharaoh refused to let the Israelites leave. They were not just random scourges. Each was designed to make a point, that Pharaoh and the Egyptians should learn righteousness; learn that there is no God but Yehovah, and He must be obeyed, for our good and peace and happiness, in a world fraught with sin and rebellion.
You can read about those plagues in Exodus chapters 5 - 15. I'll list them here:
1. Water became blood
2. Frogs
3. Gnats
4. Flies
5. Death of livestock
6. Boils
7. Hail
8. Locusts
9. Darkness
10. Death of the Firstborn
There is a sermon in each of those events. Suffice to say, the Egyptians had many deities they worshiped. They worshiped the Nile river. Frogs were seen as a type of representation of deity. Livestock was precious, in some cases, also worshiped. It remains so in India, with their religion and deities, today. Men were gods, in the case of Pharaohs. They had sky deities, and obviously, as most pagan societies, they worshiped the sun. Logic would scream the death of the first born, especially with the Hebrews observing the first Passover ceremony and not losing their firstborn, that the God of the Hebrews was an all powerful deity with powers exhibited in real-time. It caused plenty of Egyptians to acknowledge Him, and they left Egypt with the Hebrews.
God attempted to educate the Egyptians that their gods were nothing. They had no power to save them, protect them, advance them, nothing. Yehovah made that point so clear yet, He knew Pharaoh's heart and mind; knew how Pharaoh would respond, and chose that Pharaoh to be the example of satanic rebellion necessary to make a point about the worthlessness of rebellion against the Creator. Each plague was designed to show Pharaoh and his house, the Egyptians, and even the Hebrews that Yehovah is God alone. The first three plagues fell upon all. The last seven, only upon the Egyptians. Rather than kneel before such a deity, Pharaoh got more and more aggravated and vengeful. It cost him his kingdom and his life when the armies of Egypt drowned in the Red Sea.
The Seven Last Plagues are of the same quality of heaven's education process for all the world, and all the watching universe. Just and true and righteous are His ways. Each plague designed to show the futility of rebellion and choices made against God's authority.
Part 2
Revelation, chapter 15 opens the scene. John, in vision, sees the redeemed standing on the sea of glass, mingled with fire. Imagine a building so big its floor is like a sea. It reflects the glory of God from every direction and it seems on fire. There the redeemed stand victorious before their Creator and Father of all that is good. Despite the catastrophe about to take place, John is given another view of victory for God's people to reassure him.
Then he sees the temple in Heaven and seven angels, with golden breastplates, carrying bowls with a plague in each one. The wrath of God, unmingled with mercy (Rev 14:10), is about to be poured out on planet Earth. In times past, the judgments of God contained a mixture of mercy. Even in devastation, God has shown elements of mercy, forgiveness, and hope that all is not lost. God is in control. He owns all the silver, all the gold, and cattle on a thousand hills. All is His, not ours. He is in control and gifts mankind with all we have. The earth is His and the fulness thereof. The universe is His and in His control. Choose to obey. Choose to cooperate. Choose to fellowship with your Creator. Receive the promise of eternal life when this mess is finally over. But, for the world, probation shall close. Investigative judgment will cease, all cases decided. Execution of judgment will begin. God's people, the remnant that keep, guard the commandments of God and the faith and testimony of Jesus, will be protected from the worst scourges ever experienced by the human race.
Remember the plagues are God's statement to a rebellious world thinking they have everything under control. Whether or not the plagues are the result of a world waxing old as a garment or supernatural in nature is moot. God is in control of all, and His timing is perfect. The world has turned on God, turned on His people and removed their ability to buy and sell and threatened them with physical harm if they will not cooperate. God responds.
Rev 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
1. Bad, wicked ulcers - Cries of peace and safety, security went up from the lips of billions caught up in delusions and deceptions because they refused to acknowledge a Thus saith the Lord. There is no safety or security apart from God. Whether something from the dissolving of nature's barriers to ultraviolet rays or supernatural in nature, skin cancer breaks out upon humanity. All those who chose the mark of man's authority in matters of religion, all those who looked to the American apostasy for guidance, develop unexplainable sores on their bodies.
Rev 16:3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
2. The seas become as the blood of a dead man - Upon death, blood coagulates, becomes jelly-like. If you remember in our look at the fall of Babylon, the merchants of the Earth bewail her fall as their ships upon the sea no longer provide commerce. And here is that event. Every living thing in the oceans die. Oxygen is destroyed in a coagulated, thick gelatinous mess. Ships sink, world commerce halts. The world goes ballistic in terror of what is happening.
Rev 16:4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
Rev 16:5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
Rev 16:6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
Rev 16:7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
3. All freshwater sources becomes blood - Anyone who has seen the effects of a "red tide" know the results of oxygen deprived water from bacteria that fills areas and fish just die by the tens of thousands. From the oceans to all bodies of fresh water: streams, rivers, lakes, taps are flowing red, and the Bible states point blank, it is blood. God's people have been persecuted to death down through the ages, right to the end of time. If mankind is so bloodthirsty, God gives them blood to drink. The world grows insane with horror and hate. Remember: a cage of every unclean and hateful bird - predators. The world fills with predators in a cage, hungering to get out.
Rev 16:8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
Rev 16:9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
4. The scorching of the skin with heat and fire - Some call this a complete destruction of the Ozone layer, something natural. Whether natural or supernatural, the timing is in God's hands, not man's. And as Isaiah recorded, men will not learn righteousness when God's judgments arrive. They should but, no. They blaspheme God's name - His character - and blame it all on Him, not themselves and their own rebellion and choices. They do not repent. They would tear God off His throne if they could. In calling His character into question they boldly reveal their own. They chose the day of the sun, the Sunday, not God's Sabbath rest. If they want to worship the venerabilis dei solis, so be it. God gives it to them.
As the world grows in shock in its terror, the promises of God are sure:
Isa 33:14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
Isa 33:15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;
Isa 33:16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
Isa 33:17 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
God's people, in prisons, dungeons, out in the caves and strongholds of the wilderness, cast out of society, demonized, hunted, like in times past and now, God's promises are there. Their bread and water shall be sure. No, no seven course meals and merrymaking. Bread and water. Simple sustenance to get His people through the time of trouble such as never was, or ever shall be.
Rev 16:10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
Rev 16:11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
5. Darkness. Like back in Egypt, God repeats some things because it is always the same. The Devil uses what works. He deceives by creating an atmosphere of intelligence, expertism, man-made authority which always, ALWAYS goes bad without the guidance of God. Picture the scene. A supernaturally controlled darkness falls over Rome, the Vatican, and over each Roman Catholic church and property, the kingdom of the Beast. Can you imagine the anger that rises? The world is in gross pain. They chose the Papal light for authority but, it is not light. It is darkness. It is subjugation of light. It is deception in the name of Christ. Jesus is the way, the truth and the light. God's people fellowship in His light. He is the light that shines on every person born into this world so, there are no excuses. All had a chance to live in the light of God's presence and watch-care but, the world wants its way, not God's. He offers His truth, His spoken words that proceed from His mouth to His earthly children. They choose the words of men and disaster is the result.
This sets up the unique nature of the sixth plague.
Rev 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
Rev 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
Rev 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
6. The drying up of the Euphrates river - Remember, Revelation is a book of symbolism. What was the literal Euphrates river? It was the foundation of a support system for all of ancient Babylon. What is the support system of modern, spiritual, prophetic Babylon? State power. The union of church and state. As the plagues envelope the Earth, the nations realize what has happened with their foolish choices. They pull back their support of the Vatican and her daughters. Everything is falling apart. Everything is in chaos.
The kings of the East.
Isa 41:1 Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.
Isa 41:2 Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow.
Isa 41:3 He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet.
Isa 41:4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.
Isa 41:5 The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.
Isa 41:6 They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage.
Isa 45:1 Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
Isa 45:2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
Isa 45:3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
Isa 45:4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
Isa 45:5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
Isa 45:6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
Isa 46:8 Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.
Isa 46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
Isa 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
Isa 46:11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
God called Cyrus over a century before he was born, to be a deliverer for His people, captives in Babylon. He came from the East, defeated Babylon, with Darius, the Mede, and ultimately let God's people go home.
It is claimed Cyrus was shown Isaiah's prophecy, written almost a century and a half before Cyrus was born, and it moved the king greatly, and resulted in the king allowing the Jews to go home and rebuild their temple.
The confusion on earth during the sixth plague sets up the return of Messiah, who shall come like lightening that shines from the East to the West (Matt. 24:27), to recuse His people from a death decree. Kill God's people, all will be well, is the insanity of a world gone mad. The tables are completely turned.
Rev 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Rev 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Rev 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Rev 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Three unclean spirits, like frogs.
While God's angels are pouring out the plagues, and the return of Christ is set up to go, Satan's angels get busy in the midst of the chaos. How do frogs catch their prey? Their tongues.
Out of the mouths of Satan's paganism, the Catholic Church and her daughters - apostate Protestantism, goes the final impact of fake religious revival. Speaking in tongues, confused gibberish, with more false "miracles" and wonders to hold the union of rebellion together; to convince the nations of the world to hang on, the answer is at hand. Death to all the Sabbath keepers, the troublers of Israel, the reason for the destructions at hand.
Remember what you are seeing right now in this world, of an attitude building towards the "unvaccinated." The attitude of blame and vengeance lives. It will get exponentially worse at the end of time. The hatred, the ultimate appearance of the character of Satan shall be revealed in all humanity, to show the universe the time has arrived. The final battle between good and evil.
Rev 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
Rev 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
Christ is not coming secretly. He is coming as a surprise to the world! Nothing secret about it.
His promise is to those who have watched and prayed and guarded the garment of righteous He has clothed them with. The world walks "naked," no covering of Christ's righteousness. Their shame is fully revealed. The battle of Armageddon, Har Megiddo, the mountain of slaughter, awaits.
Jdg 5:18 Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.
Jdg 5:19 The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.
Jdg 5:20 They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
Jdg 5:21 The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.
From the song of Deborah, the prophetess who led Israel to victory, a slaughter took place by the waters of Megiddo. A slaughter is going to take place at the end of time, as sure as the essence of the stars moving in constant perfect order in their created paths.
1Kings 18:17 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
1Kings 18:18 And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.
The unrighteous consistently blame the righteous when trouble falls. Ahab blamed Elijah for the drought plaguing the land. It was not Elijah's fault. It was Ahab's, for forsaking God's commandments and worshiping Baal and the false god's of the nations around them.
1Kings 18:19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table.
One of the greatest stories in the Bible. The battle on Mount Carmel. The fire of the Lord fell and not only devoured the sacrifice but, licked up all the water Elijah had the priests of Baal drown the sacrifice in. The people cried out, Yehovah, He is God! Yehovah, He is God!
Then another slaughter took place; the judgment of God came upon the false religious leaders; the priests and prophets of Baal; worshippers of the sun god, the corrupters of the nation.
1Kings 18:40 And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.
Rev 16:17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
Rev 16:18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
Rev 16:19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
Rev 16:20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
Rev 16:21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
7. The Earthquake and Hail - Never has the world experienced such an Earthquake, a literal Earthquake. The entire planet shall shake and the mountains shall fall into the earth, cities collapse to rubble. 150lb. hailstones fall, as the artillery of God pummels the satanic rebellion and destroys the great monuments to human ingenuity. They are all shattered like clay before the Almighty.
Rev 19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
Rev 19:18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
Rev 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Rev 19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
Psa 50:3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
Psa 50:4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
Psa 50:5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
Psa 50:6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.
2Th 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
2Th 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
2Th 1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
2Th 1:10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
2Th 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
Rev 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
Rev 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Rev 6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Rev 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Rev 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Rev 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
The wrath of a Lamb? Seems contradictory, doesn't it? Well, Jesus is the Lion and the Lamb. He is all in all. And while one might think the Lion should be represented in the cataclysm of the second coming and end of the world, the Lamb is chosen to represent the scene. Christ is the Lamb who was sacrificed for the world, and the kings of this earth, the supposed great men, they cannot stand that thought of self-sacrifice unless it involves money and wealth but, all the gold and silver will not help them in the day the glory of Christ is revealed. They are portrayed as crying out for rocks and mountains to fall on them rather than look into the Face of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Jer 4:23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
Jer 4:24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
Jer 4:25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
Jer 4:26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.
Jer 4:27 For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
Jer 4:28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.
Jer 4:29 The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
Jer 4:30 And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
Jer 4:31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.
The prophet Jeremiah beheld the land after the destruction of the Babylonian armies. It is a bigger scene, though. Telltale words and phrases enlarge the event. It is the destruction of prophetic Babylon and all the world when Christ returns. The planet becomes a wasteland. Aftershocks take place. All life is gone. Darkness. The Earth may be knocked out of its orbit. It just floats in the darkness of space. Satan bound. Rebel angels bound and for a 1000 years must contemplate their senseless, foolish, destructive revolt and rebellion against the kingdom of God.
I addressed the millennium in another post and what happens at the very end. The lake of fire kindled by the full glory of God (Our God is a consuming fire), that shall consume the planet. Lucifer gone, his angels gone, the rebellious of all ages gone, the curse of sin gone. Everything reduced to ashes. God shall recreate the Earth from the ashes of the old. Peace again restored. Harmony, tranquility, a universe to explore. A continuation of creation and fantastic things from the voice of God. The redeemed shall travel the universe with Christ and testify to its inhabitants what their experiences were like to have lived and fought the good fight of faith.
Yeah, in light of the influence of Hollywood, it all seems a fantasy, a tale, just a story from an ancient book. You can believe that if you want. Your choice. God is trying to educate you, instruct you, to get you ready for what is to come. Nobody denies Cyrus lived as a king. Why would anyone deny God called him before he was born, written down over a century before anyone knew his name, and that the whole Bible is filled with truth?
The Bible is two thirds prophecy. Did you know that? Even in all the history there is prophesy. God is God because He can tell us the end, from the beginning. Things to come are already seen by Him; known from eternity. You. He knows you. He knows your life. He knows every struggle. He knows every event and knew it all before you were born.
Psa 56:8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
It's all written down. Goes knows. He cares. He loves you. You are not alone. He's calling you. He really is.
What will you answer?
"As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
*****************************
456. Trust the Doctors? Why? - December 22, 2021
I guess I'm just gettin' old. I thought I posted this already.
Medical doctors have long and pretty much ever continuing education processes. They 'specialize,' in our modern times. As knowledge increases, the amount of information available about cells exponentially develops, which affects treatment of anything affecting them; and we are made up of around two trillion of those living, microscopic "cities."
A medical doctor is someone people should be able to trust. Did you know the Hippocratic Oath is no longer part of the modern physician's process? "Do no harm," was Hippocrates' pledge to a patient. It is claimed that principle is not found in the oath. By whom? Why, the NIH, at their website:
"It also does not explicitly contain the phrase, "First, do no harm," which is commonly attributed to it."
https://www.nlm.nih.gov/hmd/greek/greek_oath.html
And yet, the Classic oath contains the very principle, just stated in a slightly different way:
"I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice."
The very next paragraph states this:
"I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody who asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art."
https://www.medicinenet.com/hippocratic_oath/definition.htm
The parts about harm and injustice, drugs and abortions is pretty interesting, given exactly what is taking place right now, today, all over the world. It is not just suggested, it is being forced! Spontaneous abortions and still births are literally skyrocketing. The pharmaceutical industries are actually controlling the world right now, just as Bible prophecy warned. Businesses filled with "doctors."
The oath is not something doctors are forced to swear by. It's tradition has waned over the years and modern oaths have replaced the classic one. Obviously Hippocrates' deities he swears by would not make much sense, and modern versions do not even mention deity except in this way:
"Above all, I must not play at God."
The Covid event has more physicians playing God than, possibly, in all human history. When people have to sue a hospital to be allowed to take for treatment a simple drug that won a Nobel Prize for its inventors (Ivermectin), you know something is so wrong it boggles the mind. Judges are now being asked to define medical treatment? Well, not exactly. They are being asked to enforce the time honored practice of informed consent and freedom and liberty of a doctor and patient, together choosing an appropriate plan of attack against illness. When "doctors" refuse that freedom and liberty, should doctors be trusted?
NOBODY knows the number of people who have died from Covid because from the outset, "doctors" set protocols in place to skew and inflate those numbers. The CDC and FDA have been shown to be corrupt in so many studies and investigations, that too, boggles the mind. A constant parade of changing the goalposts. Real doctors began speaking out against those protocols and against the principles of the oath, and they were descended upon by the "top docs" in control of the event's information.
The vaccines, given to us by companies committing felonies and paying fines of billions of dollars over the years for doing so, are shrouded in mystery of a new technology, mRNA, that even the inventor claims is dangerous (Dr. Robert Malone), and has been speaking out against it for 2 years now. The definition of a "vaccine" had to be changed to accommodate this new technology.
NOBODY knows the actual number of people that have been harmed by severe adverse effects of this new "vaccine" because, again, protocols have been put in place by "top docs" which skew and marginalize cases by only allowing people who have had severe reactions to be counted as such beyond two weeks after the injection. Drop dead ten minutes after and that patient will not be counted. WHY NOT?
Beyond the nation's and world's "top docs" like Fauci, and all the rest, "top docs" like Malone, and Peter McCullough, Zev Zelenko, David Martin, all the Frontline Doctors and such, are trashed by the greater medical community for speaking out on a list of subjects negatively effecting treatment of this man-made, manipulated natural virus that affects all kinds of animals and people exposed to them. Veterinarians have prescribed, forever, that you isolate the sick, NOT the healthy but, "top docs" went to work locking down the world for a bad case of Flu, if you even felt any symptoms at all; not to mention those with natural immunity. Possibly BILLIONS of people make up those numbers. Two years later, lockdowns continue as lives are destroyed, not by the virus but, "doctors" reactions to it. A woman in MN was just sentenced to 90 days in jail for violating an executive order, opening her bistro, while big, corporate fast-food chains continue to rake in money. The power trips of "doctors" sand politicians has shown the world a side of humanity the 21st century has not seen in the Western world. This is the stuff of dictatorships and third-world countries.
Then came all the studies, literally hundreds of them, addressing the facts of lockdowns and the negative effects associated with them. Those doctors, also trashed by the "top docs" in control, keep showing their studies, some being fired and losing their careers.
"Doctors" have totally shut down in some kind of trance, where common sense and integrity have given way to FEAR and money and silence. How can anyone, taking any oath of medical service to humanity, just carry on in the midst of truth and investigations showing what has taken place at the hands of the world's "top docs," who are now called psychopaths by tens of thousands of logical people in all professional branches of modern medicine? There is no other logical term to use for the moves of the Fauci medical cabal.
WHY SHOULD ANY HUMAN BEING TRUST DOCTORS FOR THEIR HEALTH? Tell me. I want to know. I want to understand.
This event has changed the paradigm for billions of people being injected with something that can or will eventually ruin their lives, if not kill them, BY DESIGN.
How in any mind of sanctified reasoning did such a situation arise?
Here's our choice. Trust doctors, successfully treating people against the wishes of the "top docs," with alternative remedies, who are calling this virus and it's "top doc" cure a bioweapon and crime against humanity, or trust the "top docs" promoting incessant fear, paranoia, and an injection found to contain a host of weird things, as the world watches athletes drop dead on sporting surfaces around the world, and dozens of whistleblower nurses tell the world what is happening in their hospitals of the "health care" being given to patients dying in front of them in alarming numbers, when they are threatened with loss of job or worse if they speak out.
I trust God, yes. He is the same, yesterday, today and forever.
Doctors? Not so much.
Medical doctors have long and pretty much ever continuing education processes. They 'specialize,' in our modern times. As knowledge increases, the amount of information available about cells exponentially develops, which affects treatment of anything affecting them; and we are made up of around two trillion of those living, microscopic "cities."

"Doctors" have totally shut down in some kind of trance, where common sense and integrity have given way to FEAR and money and silence. How can anyone, taking any oath of medical service to humanity, just carry on in the midst of truth and investigations showing what has taken place at the hands of the world's "top docs," who are now called psychopaths by tens of thousands of logical people in all professional branches of modern medicine? There is no other logical term to use for the moves of the Fauci medical cabal.
WHY SHOULD ANY HUMAN BEING TRUST DOCTORS FOR THEIR HEALTH? Tell me. I want to know. I want to understand.
This event has changed the paradigm for billions of people being injected with something that can or will eventually ruin their lives, if not kill them, BY DESIGN.
How in any mind of sanctified reasoning did such a situation arise?
Here's our choice. Trust doctors, successfully treating people against the wishes of the "top docs," with alternative remedies, who are calling this virus and it's "top doc" cure a bioweapon and crime against humanity, or trust the "top docs" promoting incessant fear, paranoia, and an injection found to contain a host of weird things, as the world watches athletes drop dead on sporting surfaces around the world, and dozens of whistleblower nurses tell the world what is happening in their hospitals of the "health care" being given to patients dying in front of them in alarming numbers, when they are threatened with loss of job or worse if they speak out.
I trust God, yes. He is the same, yesterday, today and forever.
Doctors? Not so much.

457. My Patriotic Duty?!?!? - December 22, 2021
BREAKING: Biden says getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is 'your patriotic duty'"I honest-to-God believe it's your patriotic duty," Biden continued.
https://thepostmillennial.com/biden-says-getting-vaccinated-is-your-patriotic-duty
Is that right. Well, Mr. Non-president, I dissent from your understanding of "patriotic" and "duty."
Never in the history of modern mankind, except two instances, was anybody openly coerced to be injected against their will, as a citizen group. WW1 and WW2 saw those instances.
The Third Reich's, monstrous use of humans for medical experiments in the destruction of Jewish people at the hands of the lunatic Adolf Hitler brought about the Nuremberg Code, to protect people from such satanic activity. It was not a patriotic duty for Germans to accept Hitler's lunacy then, and it certainly is no patriotic duty for Americans, HEALTHY AMERICANS now, to get injected with God knows what and risk probable adverse reactions FAR WORSE than a sore arm. Was it a patriotic duty to get injected and lose all physical capacity and no longer be able to aid and care for one's children and/or spouse?
First, I'll take the chance and make the claim Joe Biden does not know what honesty before God is. He will find out what dishonesty before God is, someday.
Honesty before God does not include criminal fraud to get elected.
Honesty before God does not include corrupt business practices and misdemeanors with your son, and the Communist Chinese. Nor is it threatening other nation's representatives and bragging about it on stage.
Honesty before God does not include mandating people get "vaccinated" with untested, less than verifiable fluids of experimental use, especially as anyone with any skills of observation can read, that the world is watching people drop dead after taking the injections for an illness no worse than a bad flu. For people with healthy immune systems NO VACCINE is necessary, ESPECIALLY FOR CHILDREN!
No possible patriotic duty - love of country - would cause anyone to violate principles of common sense and logic to inject themselves with something that may not only NOT KEEP YOU FROM GETTING SICK, as we watch millions of "vaccinated" people get sick all over again but, cause you to get ill and even die. That is not immunity. That is stupidity. When did stupidity become a patriotic duty? One shot became two. Then boosters. Now three shots. Five boosters, lifelong boosters. If madness has become a patriotic duty, patriotism has become a duty to insanity.
Mr. Non-president, I never had and have absolutely zero respect for you, as you defile the offices you have held as an elected civil servant, and now, the office of the presidency.
The only possible way I would get injected, is by force; which obviously you are moving closer and closer to, as the criminal you are, abusing freedom, liberty, and the role you serve in to protect all citizens from tyranny, including those choosing to trust God's given immune system or remedies that actually work, rejected by you and your criminal cabal.
The only thing I will say to you, honest-to-God, is that an elderly, mentally disabled person such as yourself, is suffering abuse at the hands of your handlers, whoever they are. Nobody should have to go through that.
Beyond that, may you actually find honesty before God as a personal experience before you become totally incapacitated.
May God help you to see what honesty before Him really is, before it is too late.

458. The Age of Distrust - December 24, 2021
Everybody distrusts something or someone. We generally have what we believe is good reason to do so. Others have no good reasons, they just have a "feeling."
What makes someone untrustworthy? Generally speaking, drifting from the truth or outright falsification and lies. You cannot trust people who lie. You cannot trust people who bear a false witness against their neighbor.
When God states hatred for lies and false reports and unjust, uneven "weights" (imagery of scales and purposefully weighing one side down to one's own profit), over and over again; 1- you know it's a big problem, and 2 - God repeats Himself to get through our dense, filtered minds. You see, many trust people others do not. People agree to disagree about people they know.
People will disagree with me about not having trust in Donald Trump, as he continues to pump support for Covid injections. Sorry, not sorry. I no longer see the man as viable. He had the election stolen from him. But for whatever reasons he fast-tracked pharma companies, with all the information available about them and problems with them... well, suffice to say the man surrounded himself with traitors for four years so, it seems reasonable to believe Trump is not a man that does much vetting. A POTUS who cannot properly vet people close to him is not a person that should be president.
We can agree to disagree on that but, common sense speaks to me and I do not trust Donald Trump. I did not trust Mike Pense well before he got the VP position because of things he did and did not do in his home state, as governor. Why would Trump even consider him? Only Trump could say. Pense continues to stand up for his egregious moves after the 2020 election. My own misgivings and lack of trust were proven true.
There's a news guy on Newsmax my wife likes. I never heard him. I don't much care for Newsmax. I came upon an interview that man did and I had to both raise and squint my eyebrows at what the guy was saying. For whatever reasons my wife likes the man, I would not trust him as far as I could throw a longhorn.
I have been shocked to read how various huge ministries have had people in positions of trust who betrayed that sacred trust. Scandals have existed since the beginning of mankind. In one sense, nothing is a shock or surprise because people are very frail, weak and prone to sinning and exercising foolish choice under the right circumstances. All have sinned... the Bible states a fundamental truth. All have sinned and come short of the character of God. And then, of course, there are those who believe God, Himself, is not trustworthy. I always find it interesting how atheists can spend so much time speaking against someone they do not believe exists. I did the same thing when I was young. At some point, I became more agnostic than atheist but, I still found the idea of God less than tangible and worthy of pursuit. That all changed, obviously, and now, regardless of what happens in my life, I know it isn't God's fault. It's mine; my choices.
I had been coming to a place where the adage, profitable news is bad news, was getting so accurate, my mind does not need the stress. I'm seeing more and more click bait and exaggerated headlines. It's mentally taxing to try and find actual news that means something to my own daily existence. I'm just walking away.
Okay, so all this is leading up to something I have seen over and over and over again. It never ceases. It is one of the Devil's tried and true hammers and wedges: getting brethren to fight amongst themselves. I did a blog about this not too long ago but, lately I have become or been left rather empty by the constant parade of buffoonery Conservatives feel the need to call news on their websites. I'm really weary of seeing it all. It's the same for Leftist sites, of course, and hardly any of it is actual news. When Tucker Carlson takes the time to bash CNN, it just seems an oxymoron or, at least beating a dead horse. Feuds. I could have called this post; Feuds.
Then I began to see things in the community of those speaking out against the plandemic: calling into question the findings of their colleagues.
Then the whole gig with Kyle Rittenhouse and attorney Lin Wood.
Now I am seeing feuds developing between Conservative news sites; in particular, Stew Peters and Gateway Pundit. Peters was doing an interview of someone Gateway did an article about, raising questions about the guy. Peters has the man on to get his side. In doing so, Peters stated things about GP that seemed odd. I did my own due diligence and found Peters was wrong.
If GP is wrong, and the man can be trusted; if Peters is wrong, and the man cannot be trusted; if both are wrong and the man is not to be trusted, regardless...
God have mercy, who can you trust?
Here's the news. Only those who know God, trust God. That said, knowing God is not necessarily a barrier to keep us from making foolish choices and becoming our own worst enemies.
I have had enough betrayals and events in life to give me reason to trust no one, period. That's a sad but, true conclusion.
I have been writing posts on Bible prophecy. While the news can be personal positions taken, and often is, because of biases, the apostle Peter stated prophecy is of no private interpretation. That's because the Bible must be allowed to interpret itself. It will explain itself, comparing Scripture with Scripture. Truth emerges.
If you interview a liar, a good liar, a pathological liar, a professional liar, getting at the truth is difficult. Because we live in a world where the Devil's lies about God are believed by a huge number of people, if not the majority of people, establishing truth by humanity is not possible. There has to be a bottom line source for truth. Man's news is not that source. I suggest and proclaim the Bible is. The Bible is so true, it does not worry about portraying most every character in it as flawed. That's the truth, isn't it? Everybody is flawed. Is that the final truth? Well, you can believe that if you want to, and daily evidence may seem to establish it as truth.
The Bible says God became a man, to live as a man, to die as a man but, do what no man can do... resurrect from death to save mankind from itself and the death facing each of us. That's the news, and it's good news, not bad news. But, in reality, it only becomes trustworthy news when you experience it. The testimony of others can only go so far. You have to experience the gospel, the good news, to be able to fully trust it.
I have reached that place that prophecy is rapidly fulfilling and I know the end of all things is at hand. The rest is becoming background noise, distractions, a headache waiting to pounce.
Tomorrow is the day Christendom claims Christ was born. He was not born on December 25th. Nor did the wise men see Him as a babe in a manger. The Bible states when they came He was living in a house, not just born in a stable. Why do you think Herod had all the male children killed who were two years old and younger? Every manger scene is definitively wrong, according to the Bible. It's an amazing piece of false news, which is why people sing carols about an event that means zip to their lives. They are far more impressed with yard decorations than the fact God became a baby to work out a plan to save mankind from death, the second death. The final death the lost will experience.
Hey, I think little while lights look nice. I think people being a little nicer at this time of year, more charitable, more compassionate is a good thing. Giving gifts to those you love is a nice thing, although, if it is a truth that Christ was born tomorrow, and He was given gifts, why do people give gifts to each other and not Him for becoming a babe, and a lad, and a man, and sacrificing Himself for us? Yeah, you see, the whole gig has been conflated with the ancient feast of Saturnalia, and today, that ancient feast is overtaking what the 25th of December is supposedly about. The ancient character of the real December 25th celebrations get stronger and stronger in society.
It's all a sign things are growing ever weaker, ever more untrustworthy, ever more corrupt and shrouded with spiritual darkness.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
That is the news you must come to trust.

459. Jabbed for Jesus??? - December 24, 2021
I did not expect to post another blog today but, really? Seriously? C'mon. I mean, c'mon.
https://t.me/realKarliBonne/61874
Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of jolly old England, has a message for his citizens and citizens of the world.
Getting jabbed is not just for us but, friends and family and everyone we meet. Jabbed for Jesus. It must be, because Boris said that is the teaching of Jesus Christ.
Asking Boris what Gospel that is found in would be pointless, of course, because Christ never taught such a thing.
But, here is what is strange to me. I can understand protestors calling the injections a "jab," in a negative, mocking and pejorative way. Those trying to persuade people? Has anyone ever heard the term 'jab' used in a blatantly positive way? I never have. When somebody gets "jabbed" it's always in an invasive way. Why would anyone promoting the injections use that term, which was started by those protesting the injections? They started it as a negative term. Why would various people like Johnson and others, even in the medical community, use the term?
It is one thing to volunteer service which might harm you, as an act of service and sacrifice for others. It goes farther than that when young men were drafted to fight for their country in times of war.
Are we now being told we should join up and risk adverse reactions, over 30 of them now, suffered by millions of people around the globe, more than the actual deaths the virus caused? In places where it has become mandated for all, are they now cannon fodder for the elitists in a war against an illness no worse than a bad flu?
I ask again... where did the flu go?
I hope Brits tell Boris to go pound sand for Jesus because, that's what He taught, right? No, that is not hyperbole. Jesus told His disciples to shake the dust off their feet towards people who reject the Gospel message. What's one of the ways to get dust off your shoes? You pound the ground with them to shock and shake it off.
Propaganda. Relentless, elitist, warped propaganda. Get jabbed for Jesus.
Sick.
Talk about sheep in the midst of wolves.

460. Who, What, When, Where, Why and How? - December 25, 2021
News reporters used to actually investigate things and report. Today, they just copy and paste stuff they find online; they create news, they create stories along a corporate infomercial and information saturation to gain an end result. Nothing could be more clear than an actual investigation of this "pandemic" to know it is an actual "plandemic."
News is based on a selection of who, what, when, where, why and how list of information. I'm going to follow that line of reasoning on this subject and you will see there can be no mistaking what is happening and what is coming, and what shall happen when it gets here.
This week I'm going to get into details of what the Bible states about the second coming of Christ. I am seeing information at plenty of Christian websites and news sites that the second coming of Christ is drawing near. Mind you, that is across denominational belief packages of information. You might think every denomination must at least have that doctrine down solid and in harmony. Nope. Not the case. Like most biblical subjects, confusion abounds on that subject, too; maybe more so than all others.
The books that compile the Bible have so much information on this subject it's astonishing to me there can be so much confusion on this matter. That said, like everything else in religion, and Christianity in particular, confusion is Satan's way of keeping things off-balance and keeping people unprepared. There is not an event in life that does not involve preparation.
Today, December 25th, millions of people made plans and prepared to visit those who prepared for their visit. Accommodations, meals, activities... tremendous amounts of preparation. Tomorrow, millions of people will prepare to take back to stores gifts they don't want, and stores make preparations to receive the long lines of people returning stuff.
Even if you live in a city; if it has trees, it has squirrels, who spend most of their time preparing food stores for winter. Preparation is all around us in nature, all the time.
Life is about preparations. BILLIONS of people are not preparing for the event of the ages. There are more people preparing for the collapse of society (they are called "preppers"), than people are preparing for the return of Jesus Christ to this world; to close up shop and call it a day on rebellion.
Preppers prepare for everything imaginable. They have good reason because at some point, collapse is going to come. Collapse is already happening in locations around the nation and the world. It will get worse. Food supplies, water, essentials we use every day are going to get scarce and inflation is going to drive prices through the stratosphere.
I can remember various societal and political prognosticators back in the 1990s, stating the Southwest is going to run out of water; the aquifers are running dry. More people moving there and using water than it can possibly rain and keep aquifers at levels people can count on. The Trinity aquifer, sitting under Northeastern and Central Texas, was 500' below normal when I came here. In some places it is below 1,000'. Wells have to be drilled that deep just to retrieve decent water and people spend $40-50,000 to drill a well around here. Surface water ways have replaced underground water for growing populations: areas of land turned into lakes are now supplying water for dozens and dozens of counties here. One has been prepared and is filling up as I type, not but a few miles away. Reservoirs of massive acreage have been created in a system that cascades down through North and Central Texas. No joke. Fresh water is becoming scarce all over the Earth.
Jesus told the woman at the well (John 4:1-42), that He is the spiritual water of life, springing up in anyone who receives Him into their heart and mind. The number of people preparing for that water, and retaining that water, and sharing that water is dwindling in America. Fewer and fewer people are making preparations for eternity. The number of scoffers grows, exponentially; guided by atheistic scientists and educators. You are born, you live, you die, that's it! There is no God, they proclaim. Science proves it! Man, are they wrong. Science actually suggests the exact opposite. That's another subject.
Some form of the word "prepare" appears over 200 times in the KJV, addressing daily life, life events, national events, and prophetic events. Preparation is a constant in life. The parable of the Ten Virgins and their oil lamps is one of preparations and the second coming of Christ (Matthew 25:1-13).
There is no historical doubt Messiah came. Aside from the Bible, numerous accounts exist of His real, physical presence and life on Earth. He promised to come again, and He shall, when things naturally divide into just two camps on Earth - the sheep and the goats, as Christ described it.
He spoke of preparation to be made about the event:
John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Mat 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
Mat 25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
Mat 25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Mat 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Preparation and victory are based on truth. Without it, preparation cannot be made.
The Who of the matter is self-explanatory. Christ is our Subject matter. He came, He promised to come again and He will come again.
WHAT will happen when He returns? I'm going to combine HOW with it. How does it take place?
EVERYTHING associated with the second coming of Christ, in all the Bible, is associated with a catacliymic, catastrophic event - the end of the world as we know it.
The disciples asked Christ about the event and conflated two subjects - the destruction of the temple and the end of the world. Christ did not correct their error but, placed similarities of both together. What happened at the destruction of the the temple in 70 ad, shall be the same kind of things that happen before and when Christ returns. Matt 24, Luke 21 and Mark 16 record that speech.
Mat 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
Mat 24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Mat 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
False Christs.
Wars and rumors of war.
Famines, Disease, Earthquakes in diverse places: different places, not just all over but, in places not generally associated with earthquakes.
Persecution.
False prophets.
False signs and wonders.
Humanity grows callous and cold.
Daniel's abomination of desolation shall circle Jerusalem (then, and thereby, God's people at the end of time).
Great tribulation, a time of trouble where all the world enters a time of incredible woe.
Christ returns fast and bright, like lightening, from east to west. The angels gather up His people as He circles the globe and they all return to Heaven.
Mat 24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
Mat 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
And there it is. Caracasses for the scavengers. And Jesus goes out of His way to deny the use of the word 'secret' having anything to do with His return.
His return is a death sentence carried out when He comes.
He closed his speech about His return with a parable about a wicked servant.
Mat 24:50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
Mat 24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
The second coming is anything BUT, secret. It is a surprise event, not a secret, invisible event.
Why did Paul state, twice, "alive and remain?"
1Thes 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. [the idea existed that those who slept (were dead) would not resurrect]
1Th 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. [Jesus died, rose and ascended to heaven, so will those who die in the faith]
1Th 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. [the dead in Christ shall not stay behind when the living are translated and taken back to heaven with Christ]
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: [self-explanatory]
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. [those remaining alive???]
1Th 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Why does Paul speak of those remaining alive? Because everybody else is destroyed by the second coming. The world is destroyed and every living thing on it.
Check out this passage from Luke, just like in Matthew's recorded speech of the second coming:
Luk 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
Luk 17:27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Luk 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
Luk 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
Luk 17:30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
Luk 17:31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
Luk 17:32 Remember Lot's wife.
Luk 17:33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
Luk 17:34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
Luk 17:35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Luk 17:36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Luk 17:37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
Where can only apply to "taken" or "left." The disciples either asked Christ where those who are taken, are taken or where those who are left, are left. The cryptic answer came, where the eagles gather. Why? They are either taken away in death or left behind in death and become metaphoric carrion for eagles; or vultures, etc.
Those alive and remain rise with the resurrected righteous to meet the Lord in the air and ever be with Him, for eternity.
Signs of the times in Earth's nature, in human society, in celestial events will precede the return of Christ. Things out of the ordinary. Upheaval, violence, rebellion, natural and man-made disasters, everywhere, all over the place. When Christ returns it is not secret. It is a surprise, when it should never be such a thing, if people were paying attention and preparing!
1Th 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
The "thief in the night" angle, that futurists use to portray a secret second coming before the real second coming (what a twisting of Scripture), miss the point in its entirety. This is not some guy dressed in black that creeps in and gets the money and jewels. This is a home invasion that shocks the home owners out of their sleep and they get killed! Why? Paul explains:
1Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
1Th 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
1Th 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
1Th 5:7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
1Th 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
1Th 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
People live in spiritual darkness. They do not want truth; it's responsibilities and accountability. They want to sleep in drunkenness and self-pursuits, regardless of the signs of the times calling them to wake up!
How does the event transpire? How does it take place? Ah, here we run straight into a truth vs. error situation, big time.
Remember the studies where the Spanish Roman Catholic Jesuit priests and authors, Lucius Alcazar and Francisco Ribera came into discussion? Each concocted a line of prophetic interpretation to a dissuade Catholics from being influenced by the Protestant Reformers, pointing their biblical fingers at the Papacy and the Church as being the antichrist power of prophecy. Alcazar came up with Preterism: most all the prophecies have already been fulfilled, and Ribera: most of the prophecies will be fulfilled in the future. Concerning the second coming of Christ, the event got formed into a secret event; the Raptura; the rapture of the church.
I have to address this and put it out of the way now. The "secret rapture" doctrine is the pervasive doctrine in professed Christianity today. I covered the historical process of the ascendance of futurism in the study on Babylon. Here's what it entails.
Based on Ribera's coverage of Daniel, chapter 9, the church is whisked away, raptured, and antichrist shows up, and a seven year period of tribulation takes place. At the end of the seven years, Christ returns and sets up an earthly kingdom. Notice this:
Acts 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
Acts 1:7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Acts 1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Acts 1:10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
Acts 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven
The disciples wanted to know when Christ would establish His kingdom on Earth. Jesus told them that was an NTK subject matter (Need To Know), and they didn't. They only needed to know they would be empowered to spread the message.
Christ then ascended into the clouds and was gone from their sight. They were stunned. Two angels stood there and said, Gentlemen, take your head out of the clouds and get busy with the work He gave you to do. "this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven."
He ascended into a cloud, He shall return in clouds: but, clouds of angels, fire and glory:
Psa 50:3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
Mat 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Mat 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Mat 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Mar 13:26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
Mar 13:27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
Mar 14:62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1Th 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Now, if that were not enough to inform us Christ returns physically, visibly, audibly, and gloriously, we have this statement:
Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
There are so many more statements regarding the nature of Messiah's return, it's shocking people can be so easily led astray. How does futurism and its proponents pull it off? We just read it.
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
This is extremely important.
The Greek word translated "caught up" is "harpazo." It means to seize or snatch or carry off by force. We already saw noise associated with Christ's return: the shout of the Archangel, the trump of God. Nothing secret there, nor shall the 'catching up' of God's people be secret. They ascend into clouds just as Christ ascended, seen by people standing there and watching. The people of God shall ascend; Christ does not come down and touch the Earth. The doctrine of Christ establishing His kingdom on Earth does not take place at the second coming. No. As we saw in previous studies, it shall take place at the end of the thousand years.
Rev 12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up [harpazo] unto God, and to his throne.
That statement about Christ being 'caught up' goes in hand with Acts and Christ's ascension. Nothing secret or invisible. Every place the world 'harpazo' is translated shows something happened that had a physical, observable nature to it, even this next passage, oft used by futurists to promote a secret rapture of the church before a second coming, the one second coming of Christ.
2Co 12:1 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2Co 12:2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
2Co 12:3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
2Co 12:4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
First, Paul speaks of visions and revelations. The experience had that foundation. Was he taken physically or just in a dream or vision, he could not tell. It just happened. He was caught up, taken to heaven and saw the home of the redeemed. He saw and heard things he could not repeat. Quite an experience. There is nothing in the text that mentions it was a secret event. There is no mention of anyone there to see what happened. Paul just saw heaven, period, and he was not about to hold that out as some big reason to listen to him and put him on a pedestal or be exalted. That is the context of the passage.
This idea that the people of God shall be snatched away, secretly, a secret rapture, which an entire series of movies have been based upon, is a lie.
The "Saint" Jerome translation and Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible come into play here. The term in the Latin for "caught up" is "rapiemura," from "rapio." The masculine and feminine participles are "rapturus" and "raptura." The English of that is "rapture."
The secret rapture of the church is the work of a Roman Catholic translator (Jerome), and an invention of a Jesuit priest with the sole function of stopping the Protestant Reformation from calling the Papacy and Roman Church, the antichrist. Evangelicals have now been suckered back into Rome, despite any protests about other aspects of Romanism, if they even do that anymore, and they are clueless to it all because they have become the daughters of the harlot mother.
Believing in a secret rapture, out of nowhere, at any time, is leaving millions of people totally unprepared for what is actually taking place now, the investigative judgment, and what shall take place from here on in.
The necessity of truth can never be underestimated.
I'll get into Part 2 next.
News is based on a selection of who, what, when, where, why and how list of information. I'm going to follow that line of reasoning on this subject and you will see there can be no mistaking what is happening and what is coming, and what shall happen when it gets here.
This week I'm going to get into details of what the Bible states about the second coming of Christ. I am seeing information at plenty of Christian websites and news sites that the second coming of Christ is drawing near. Mind you, that is across denominational belief packages of information. You might think every denomination must at least have that doctrine down solid and in harmony. Nope. Not the case. Like most biblical subjects, confusion abounds on that subject, too; maybe more so than all others.
The books that compile the Bible have so much information on this subject it's astonishing to me there can be so much confusion on this matter. That said, like everything else in religion, and Christianity in particular, confusion is Satan's way of keeping things off-balance and keeping people unprepared. There is not an event in life that does not involve preparation.
Today, December 25th, millions of people made plans and prepared to visit those who prepared for their visit. Accommodations, meals, activities... tremendous amounts of preparation. Tomorrow, millions of people will prepare to take back to stores gifts they don't want, and stores make preparations to receive the long lines of people returning stuff.
Even if you live in a city; if it has trees, it has squirrels, who spend most of their time preparing food stores for winter. Preparation is all around us in nature, all the time.
Life is about preparations. BILLIONS of people are not preparing for the event of the ages. There are more people preparing for the collapse of society (they are called "preppers"), than people are preparing for the return of Jesus Christ to this world; to close up shop and call it a day on rebellion.
Preppers prepare for everything imaginable. They have good reason because at some point, collapse is going to come. Collapse is already happening in locations around the nation and the world. It will get worse. Food supplies, water, essentials we use every day are going to get scarce and inflation is going to drive prices through the stratosphere.
I can remember various societal and political prognosticators back in the 1990s, stating the Southwest is going to run out of water; the aquifers are running dry. More people moving there and using water than it can possibly rain and keep aquifers at levels people can count on. The Trinity aquifer, sitting under Northeastern and Central Texas, was 500' below normal when I came here. In some places it is below 1,000'. Wells have to be drilled that deep just to retrieve decent water and people spend $40-50,000 to drill a well around here. Surface water ways have replaced underground water for growing populations: areas of land turned into lakes are now supplying water for dozens and dozens of counties here. One has been prepared and is filling up as I type, not but a few miles away. Reservoirs of massive acreage have been created in a system that cascades down through North and Central Texas. No joke. Fresh water is becoming scarce all over the Earth.
Jesus told the woman at the well (John 4:1-42), that He is the spiritual water of life, springing up in anyone who receives Him into their heart and mind. The number of people preparing for that water, and retaining that water, and sharing that water is dwindling in America. Fewer and fewer people are making preparations for eternity. The number of scoffers grows, exponentially; guided by atheistic scientists and educators. You are born, you live, you die, that's it! There is no God, they proclaim. Science proves it! Man, are they wrong. Science actually suggests the exact opposite. That's another subject.
Some form of the word "prepare" appears over 200 times in the KJV, addressing daily life, life events, national events, and prophetic events. Preparation is a constant in life. The parable of the Ten Virgins and their oil lamps is one of preparations and the second coming of Christ (Matthew 25:1-13).
There is no historical doubt Messiah came. Aside from the Bible, numerous accounts exist of His real, physical presence and life on Earth. He promised to come again, and He shall, when things naturally divide into just two camps on Earth - the sheep and the goats, as Christ described it.
He spoke of preparation to be made about the event:
John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Mat 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
Mat 25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
Mat 25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Mat 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Preparation and victory are based on truth. Without it, preparation cannot be made.
The Who of the matter is self-explanatory. Christ is our Subject matter. He came, He promised to come again and He will come again.
WHAT will happen when He returns? I'm going to combine HOW with it. How does it take place?
EVERYTHING associated with the second coming of Christ, in all the Bible, is associated with a catacliymic, catastrophic event - the end of the world as we know it.

Famines, Disease, Earthquakes in diverse places: different places, not just all over but, in places not generally associated with earthquakes.
Persecution.

False signs and wonders.
Humanity grows callous and cold.
Daniel's abomination of desolation shall circle Jerusalem (then, and thereby, God's people at the end of time).
Great tribulation, a time of trouble where all the world enters a time of incredible woe.
Christ returns fast and bright, like lightening, from east to west. The angels gather up His people as He circles the globe and they all return to Heaven.
Mat 24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
Mat 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

The second coming is anything BUT, secret. It is a surprise event, not a secret, invisible event.
Why did Paul state, twice, "alive and remain?"
1Thes 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. [the idea existed that those who slept (were dead) would not resurrect]
1Th 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. [Jesus died, rose and ascended to heaven, so will those who die in the faith]
1Th 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. [the dead in Christ shall not stay behind when the living are translated and taken back to heaven with Christ]
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: [self-explanatory]
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. [those remaining alive???]
1Th 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Why does Paul speak of those remaining alive? Because everybody else is destroyed by the second coming. The world is destroyed and every living thing on it.
Check out this passage from Luke, just like in Matthew's recorded speech of the second coming:

Luk 17:31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
Luk 17:32 Remember Lot's wife.
Luk 17:33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
Luk 17:34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
Luk 17:35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Luk 17:36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Luk 17:37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

Those alive and remain rise with the resurrected righteous to meet the Lord in the air and ever be with Him, for eternity.
Signs of the times in Earth's nature, in human society, in celestial events will precede the return of Christ. Things out of the ordinary. Upheaval, violence, rebellion, natural and man-made disasters, everywhere, all over the place. When Christ returns it is not secret. It is a surprise, when it should never be such a thing, if people were paying attention and preparing!

The "thief in the night" angle, that futurists use to portray a secret second coming before the real second coming (what a twisting of Scripture), miss the point in its entirety.

Based on Ribera's coverage of Daniel, chapter 9, the church is whisked away, raptured, and antichrist shows up, and a seven year period of tribulation takes place. At the end of the seven years, Christ returns and sets up an earthly kingdom. Notice this:
Acts 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
Acts 1:7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Acts 1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Acts 1:10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
Acts 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven
The disciples wanted to know when Christ would establish His kingdom on Earth. Jesus told them that was an NTK subject matter (Need To Know), and they didn't. They only needed to know they would be empowered to spread the message.
Christ then ascended into the clouds and was gone from their sight. They were stunned. Two angels stood there and said, Gentlemen, take your head out of the clouds and get busy with the work He gave you to do. "this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven."
He ascended into a cloud, He shall return in clouds: but, clouds of angels, fire and glory:
Psa 50:3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
Mat 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Mat 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Mat 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Mar 13:26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
Mar 13:27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
Mar 14:62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1Th 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Now, if that were not enough to inform us Christ returns physically, visibly, audibly, and gloriously, we have this statement:
Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
There are so many more statements regarding the nature of Messiah's return, it's shocking people can be so easily led astray. How does futurism and its proponents pull it off? We just read it.
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
This is extremely important.
The Greek word translated "caught up" is "harpazo." It means to seize or snatch or carry off by force. We already saw noise associated with Christ's return: the shout of the Archangel, the trump of God. Nothing secret there, nor shall the 'catching up' of God's people be secret. They ascend into clouds just as Christ ascended, seen by people standing there and watching. The people of God shall ascend; Christ does not come down and touch the Earth. The doctrine of Christ establishing His kingdom on Earth does not take place at the second coming. No. As we saw in previous studies, it shall take place at the end of the thousand years.
Rev 12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up [harpazo] unto God, and to his throne.
That statement about Christ being 'caught up' goes in hand with Acts and Christ's ascension. Nothing secret or invisible. Every place the world 'harpazo' is translated shows something happened that had a physical, observable nature to it, even this next passage, oft used by futurists to promote a secret rapture of the church before a second coming, the one second coming of Christ.
2Co 12:1 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2Co 12:2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
2Co 12:3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
2Co 12:4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
First, Paul speaks of visions and revelations. The experience had that foundation. Was he taken physically or just in a dream or vision, he could not tell. It just happened. He was caught up, taken to heaven and saw the home of the redeemed. He saw and heard things he could not repeat. Quite an experience. There is nothing in the text that mentions it was a secret event. There is no mention of anyone there to see what happened. Paul just saw heaven, period, and he was not about to hold that out as some big reason to listen to him and put him on a pedestal or be exalted. That is the context of the passage.
This idea that the people of God shall be snatched away, secretly, a secret rapture, which an entire series of movies have been based upon, is a lie.
The "Saint" Jerome translation and Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible come into play here. The term in the Latin for "caught up" is "rapiemura," from "rapio." The masculine and feminine participles are "rapturus" and "raptura." The English of that is "rapture."
The secret rapture of the church is the work of a Roman Catholic translator (Jerome), and an invention of a Jesuit priest with the sole function of stopping the Protestant Reformation from calling the Papacy and Roman Church, the antichrist. Evangelicals have now been suckered back into Rome, despite any protests about other aspects of Romanism, if they even do that anymore, and they are clueless to it all because they have become the daughters of the harlot mother.
Believing in a secret rapture, out of nowhere, at any time, is leaving millions of people totally unprepared for what is actually taking place now, the investigative judgment, and what shall take place from here on in.
The necessity of truth can never be underestimated.
I'll get into Part 2 next.
Who, What, When, Where, Why and How - Part 2
Alright, we have the Who, What and How figured out.
Christ returns visibly, audibly, powerfully, fast and bright in a cataclysmic and catastrophic, world-ending event, ONCE. He died once, for all. He is returning, once, for His people down through the ages, "asleep" in their dusty beds to be awakened and resurrected to immortal life, and for the living, who shall be changed in a moment and translated. The world shall be left in complete ruins and death.
WHEN? Well, we already saw Jesus told His disciples it was not necessary for them to know when. The Father knows and that is enough. For the believer it is about doing His "Father's business" sharing the good news and occupying till Christ returns. And Jesus said it plainly enough:
Mat 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
Mat 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
Mat 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Mat 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Mat 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
By virtue of the signs of the times we can know and realize when it gets close but, the year, the day, the hour, No. Anyone who predicts such information is in error, however sincere they might be.
Skeptics like to point out verse 34 as a reason to reject Christ. Obviously that generation passed away and Christ did not return. Ah, indeed but, what was the original question the disciples asked?
In chapter 23, Christ's denunciation of the entire Jewish system of man-made religion they concocted, rattled the disciples. Christ closed His address to them:
Mat 23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
Mat 23:30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
Mat 23:31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
Mat 23:32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
Mat 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Mat 23:34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
Mat 23:35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
Mat 23:36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
Mat 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
Mat 23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
Mat 23:39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Mat 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
Mat 24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Mat 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
Context is so important when studying God's word. The context is not two separate events. Christ denounced the religious leaders and told them their house, the temple, which Christ said was His Father's house that they turned into a den of thieves, would be left desolate.
The disciples, all flustered, left the temple with Jesus and showed Him how magnificent it was. He told them not a single stone of it would be left erect. That was completely fulfilled. When the Romans attacked Jerusalem, multitudes of people ran into the temple. They were slaughtered to the extent blood ran down the temple steps. The building was torched. It collapsed. The fires were hot enough to melt all the gold in the temple and used for the temple services. Roman soldiers saw gold dripping down into the foundation stones and were commanded that every stone should be removed that all the gold could be retrieved. Christ said what He meant, and meant what He said.
The disciples believed such an event must be the end of the world. They were wrong but, the events leading up to the destruction of the temple matched what would take place before Christ returned so, Jesus just spoke of it all as a single event. THAT generation did see the fulfillment of the event they asked about: the destruction of the temple. The second coming: if Christ told them the two events would be separated by 2000 years... well, that would have been pretty disheartening, yes? I have been a Christian for almost 43 years and I have seen a buildup of signs and events that surely Christ should have returned by now but, no. Four decades have passed and more may pass into history. The ebb and flow of time moves along. What is Christ waiting for? That question and its answer is crucial.
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Eph 5:27 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.
Christ waits for a clean church. He is coming for a sanctified, clean and holy church, not a dirty, compromising, vacillating, indecisive and faithless church.
James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Jas 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
Jas 1:7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
When Christ has an unwavering church, He will come for them because their very nature will cause a reaction of severe rebuke and attack. Persecution exists in our world. "All they that live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." Some say persecution is worse now than during the era of the Roman empire. Africa, Asia, even in Europe and North America Christians are being harassed, oppressed and persecuted solely for their faith. They are not criminals. They are just in the way of Satan gaining full control of Earth. He never will, until Christ returns and leaves him with a destitute, destroyed planet he and his angels can wander and ponder all they caused for a thousand years. Right now, the world is not filled with the light of Christ in the faces of a final remnant of believers. Not yet.
There is also another answer to when:
Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
When the Gospel goes to every thinking and reasoning person within a timeframe of solidarity, the sheep and goats shall be determined, human probation will close, all cases decided, and the final events will proceed: the seven last plagues, the rescue by Christ and with it, the end of the world. You take about power! The lowly carpenter and preacher, returns in a display of power so unimaginable it can not be portrayed by any pen, any brush, any camera, any computer generated imagery, nothing. Nothing, no media is capable and adequate to portray the second coming of Christ.
The WHERE is obvious, as well. He came to Earth; He's coming back to Earth. This planet. This speck in the universe. This is the great battlefield between good and evil. Here it wages, here it shall be decided.
WHY? Because God is love. He loves His children. He wants us with Him. He wants us free from the plague of sin and death. Christ is our Friend, "a friend that sticks closer than a brother." He is our Saviour, our Guide, the Captain of our salvation, our High Priest in Heaven, and our conquering KING of kings and LORD of Lords.
He is in Heaven and wants us there with Him; humanity reunited with loved ones lost to death.
I had a friend. Her was quite a character. A big man with huge hands and a huge heart. He had a handle bar mustache and a big voice and laugh. Man, I sit here and weep, just thinking about him and seeing him again some day; seeing my mother and father, meeting my guardian angel that I have given plenty of grief in 42 years. Sometimes I think my life has been little more than one long stretch of pain. More scars than I can count on a body wearing out, and a heart tired of this world and its mass confusion of endless nonsense and ignorance. I submit, hanging on to the truth would be more than impossible if this was all there is.
The thing is, this is all we deserve. We deserve death. But God is love. In His great love, in His character is a spot for me, and you, and every person that has ever lived or shall live. It's quite incomprehensible but, that is the nature of God, our Creator and our Saviour. He offers us an invitation. Those who critically think it through will see the eternal wealth of it.
Sin and righteousness are about to meet head to head someday in the near future, in a final showdown, and Christ will come and rescue His people from a planet gone absolutely insane with madness of self. He will come and take them home to experience things we cannot even imagine.
It isn't a fairy tale. It isn't an empty hope just because some haughty scientists and professors claim it is. None have an answer how the universe is so finely tuned to remain orderly and support life. They cannot come close to explaining how life actually, really, empirically began. THEY are the ones with the stories. They are the ones who create everything from nothing by some cosmic accident, some math formula; not the intervention of Divine power and creative design.
All matter from no matter? Incredible, magnificent complexity from nothing? No thing. No purpose, no design, no mind, no material into all material? Talk about a fairytale.
It is far easier and logical for me to believe the Creator spoke, and it stood fast. A miracle from God makes far more sense than a miracle from... nothing.
Christ came. He's coming again. Prepare ye the way of the Lord.
Rev 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Rev 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
...I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. verse 16
Rev 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Christ returns visibly, audibly, powerfully, fast and bright in a cataclysmic and catastrophic, world-ending event, ONCE. He died once, for all. He is returning, once, for His people down through the ages, "asleep" in their dusty beds to be awakened and resurrected to immortal life, and for the living, who shall be changed in a moment and translated.

461. NASA Working With Priests and Theologians? - December 27, 2021
NASA, the National Aeronautics Space Agency, is working with priests and theologians to figure out how the general public would react and how to tell the world, and what to do about civil unrest if the world finds out life has been discovered elsewhere in the universe.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/12/nasa-enlists-priests-assess-world-react-alien-life/
https://www.ctinquiry.org/
Enlisting the aid of the Center for Theological Inquiry, NASA feels the need for some kind of plan to address this bridge and how to cross over it.
What we are talking about here is microbial life, not sentient life. What would a religious world think if microbial life is discovered somewhere else? Why such a find would create civil unrest is not mentioned. Frankly, civil unrest developing from NASA telling the world they have discovered microbes, when the world is being pummeled by elitists and a plan to depopulate the world which is already causing civil unrest, seems a nonstarter, to me, if not a planned distraction.
In recent surveys, almost 60% of Americans professing Christianity are open to the idea life exists beyond Earth. That number rises to around 80-85% for atheists and the "nones," those with no kind of religious affiliation.
https://religionnews.com/2021/08/23/for-atheists-the-idea-of-aliens-seems-real-religious-people-doubt-it/
Does that seem like groundwork for civil unrest? Hardly. Especially if that discovery is just microbial. I'd call it a probable collective yawn. Hardline evangelicals believing life of any kind only exists on Earth, by God's design, would be the ones most upset. Civil unrest from them is highly unlikely. If anything, ministries taking hardline stands would have to go into damage control, not promote civil unrest.
Right now the skies of the world are filled with stuff nobody can explain. Terms like "Tic-Tacs," "orbs," "Gimbles," "disks," "cubes," and others are used to describe what hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people have seen and continue to see all over the globe: all sizes of shapes, colors, floating, incredible speeds... it's everywhere. Dozens and dozens of YT channels place videos up for public assessment every single day, every single week. There are even channels and websites looking at anomalies on Mars that are strange, indeed.
Jean Ward - YouTube
ArtAlienTV - YouTube
Admittedly, a large percentage of UFO sightings have reasonable explanations. It's that pesky 10% that can't be explained that drives the movement. That does not even single out all the 'abductions' claimed all over the world. That's a whole other subject. Most of the stuff claimed for discoveries on Mars, the same; most of it being pareidolia but, that small percentage of items that drops your jaw is naggingly in your face.
So, why is NASA claiming concerns over civil unrest if alien life is discovered? Is that just a typical "nanny state" attitude; a citizens are dumb and we have to baby them, attitude? Is it admission of things they already detect and they are just testing the waters?
You know me. I do not trust professional liars and compromisers that make up the United States government. Politicians, agencies, all of it, cannot be trusted to tell Americans the truth about anything. And everything told, is just driven by agendas of some kind.
If NASA is working with theologians, something is up. That is my logical conclusion. The government, by and large; those employed by government, could care less what religious people think, unless it means lack of money for them, less control over religious elements in society, and how to maintain whatever narratives are developed towards that end. Yeah, you can call me jaded, for sure. History proves the point, though. Current events prove it all the more. When you dumb down society you have to be careful what you drop in their laps. Reactions can be scattered, control threatened, results turned upside down. Contingency plans must be put into place. "What if" gets a lot of think-tank time.
Everything is about reelection, not governing according to Constitutional limitations upon government. Everything is about money, not seeing to it Americans are the most free people on Earth, given liberty to pursue life as they choose, within the rule of law, and owning what they procure in their lives.
If NASA thought for a moment a declaration of life found elsewhere in the universe would dismantle the money flow into its coffers, no such declaration would ever be made. It's just that simple. NASA does not care how people will react, save for what blowback hits them and costs them budget money for whatever they are into. If anything, given the current events, government agencies want to destabilize society in typical Hegelian types: cause the problem, provide the remedy.
You know I already believe life exists out there, and the reasons why. I've stated them numerous times here. "Life as we know it" is so limited to begin with, it is foolish to believe Earth life is all there is. That's my belief.
I agree with those who say, when it comes to science; evidence, empirical evidence, observation, testing must be the standard for belief. No evidence, no declarations, regardless of logic and reason and religion. Believe what you want for whatever reasons you want but, controlling society based on your unempirical, unscientific beliefs, is wrong.
That does not mean science and religion are such opposites they cannot function in tandem. Far too many scientists down through history functioned just that way, and saw science as a way to understand God, the Creator, and His wonders, all the more. Science was seen as a way of understanding the mind of God, through His creation. It just means because the Bible states God created the world in six days and all life upon it, it cannot be looked at as empirical science. There is no way to observe or test creation. We were not there to observe it, and it cannot be duplicated or tested. The same goes for the Big Bang. Both are beliefs. Both have unexplained, problematic aspects based on current scientific understanding. That's just the way it is. It's unfortunate one class of belief foams at the mouth at the other class gaining any kind of influence in society. Especially when both classes often work side by side in labs and institutions all over the world. Science does not stop because some people believe in a Creator. The unprofessional prejudice that dominates the world of secularism and materialism in science holds back scientific discovery, if history is any example of what believers can discover.
If NASA wants the opinions of religion, something is up, big time.
You already know I believe "ET" is going to be an issue in last-day events. I have no doubts of that. An "angel of light" is going to manifest itself. I believe the world is getting crazier, and "ET" will be a major player in bringing "peace and safety" to a society fragmenting into atoms. If Satan can use NASA, he will. If Satan can use religion, he will. The adversary uses anything and everything to deceive, to distract, to devour with confusion whatever and whoever he can. There is definitely no mystery there.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Enlisting the aid of the Center for Theological Inquiry, NASA feels the need for some kind of plan to address this bridge and how to cross over it.
What we are talking about here is microbial life, not sentient life. What would a religious world think if microbial life is discovered somewhere else? Why such a find would create civil unrest is not mentioned. Frankly, civil unrest developing from NASA telling the world they have discovered microbes, when the world is being pummeled by elitists and a plan to depopulate the world which is already causing civil unrest, seems a nonstarter, to me, if not a planned distraction.
In recent surveys, almost 60% of Americans professing Christianity are open to the idea life exists beyond Earth. That number rises to around 80-85% for atheists and the "nones," those with no kind of religious affiliation.
https://religionnews.com/2021/08/23/for-atheists-the-idea-of-aliens-seems-real-religious-people-doubt-it/
Does that seem like groundwork for civil unrest? Hardly. Especially if that discovery is just microbial. I'd call it a probable collective yawn. Hardline evangelicals believing life of any kind only exists on Earth, by God's design, would be the ones most upset. Civil unrest from them is highly unlikely. If anything, ministries taking hardline stands would have to go into damage control, not promote civil unrest.
Right now the skies of the world are filled with stuff nobody can explain. Terms like "Tic-Tacs," "orbs," "Gimbles," "disks," "cubes," and others are used to describe what hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people have seen and continue to see all over the globe: all sizes of shapes, colors, floating, incredible speeds... it's everywhere. Dozens and dozens of YT channels place videos up for public assessment every single day, every single week. There are even channels and websites looking at anomalies on Mars that are strange, indeed.

Admittedly, a large percentage of UFO sightings have reasonable explanations. It's that pesky 10% that can't be explained that drives the movement. That does not even single out all the 'abductions' claimed all over the world. That's a whole other subject. Most of the stuff claimed for discoveries on Mars, the same; most of it being pareidolia but, that small percentage of items that drops your jaw is naggingly in your face.

462. An Everest of Lies - December 28, 2021
I'll turn 67 in a day. Doesn't mean much. The difference between December 31st and January 1st is just 24 hours. It's just the end and beginning of man-made calendars; a way to track time.
What does make a difference is truth, and therefore, lies. 2020 and 2021 have been, in my lifetime, the most saturated, drowned, thoroughly impregnated years of lies I've ever experienced.
In the last week, four soccer players have dropped from heart seizures. Aside from all the other players and athletes that have been chronicled from dropping down with chest pain, or dropping dead with heart injuries, a short time after receiving the injections, four players in a week? Consider that soccer players (football around the world) are so in shape it is truly incredible. They move more than any other sport over a field as large or larger than any other team sport, save for Polo. If you play professional soccer, so many players dropping to the ground, let alone dying, in any other year, would cause headline sensations with numbers like the world is seeing. One study shows a 100% increase over the last 6 years, combined. What will the 2022 season result in? What will a comparison show from 2015-2020 vs. 2021-2026?
https://thecovidworld.com/analysis-of-football-injury-data-from-2015-2021-are-heart-related-injuries-more-frequent-in-year-2021/
A 100% increase. How can this be happening? Is it not unprecedented? Yet, the main stream news is silent, save for some chosen voices to proclaim it's a mystery, just one of those things.
Lies. Lies of commission and lies of omission. Lies so egregious it is unfathomable sane minds would proclaim such verbal and written poison. Children and teens are dying all over the world in alarming numbers, not the usual medical statistical counts. Heart problems. Major headlines? Nope. Just one of those things that happens. Really? Like, when?
More and nurse whistleblowers coming forward with horror stories of what they are seeing in hospitals. Doctors lying to their patients. Doctors, hospitals refusing to take in unvaccinated patients for illnesses or injuries not associated with Covid. The medical community has gone totally rogue and radical. It does not make any sense.
God hates lying. I know, I have addressed this before but, today I include an interview, another interview, with former Pfizer Vice President of the Allergy and Respiratory departments of that company, Dr. Michael Yeadon, conducted by Lifesite News.
The article on the interview is in-depth, with many links to other important sources, and in it, Yeadon uses some form of the word "lie," or other synonym, like 'false' or 'wrong,' so many times it is stunning.
How and why does a man with his kind of background go nuclear on what drug companies and governments are doing to the human race?
I see this stuff everyday, now. It is not new, nor is it surprising, nor is it even eyebrow raising anymore. What it is, is singularly impressive because of who and why it is being expressed. The same can be said for all the other medical professionals speaking out in such forceful ways.
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/exclusive-former-pfizer-vp-your-government-is-lying-to-you-in-a-way-that-could-lead-to-your-death/
The site also has a page of all kinds of information addressing the Covid event. It's quite a source, in and of itself.
https://lifefacts.lifesitenews.com/covid-19/
If you already know the truth of what is happening, even you might be impressed with that source page, the categorical breakdown, and the huge lists of links within each category.
If you are not familiar with what is happening, which would seem impossible at this point in time but, given the constant push to be injected and the lack of truly monumental, if not "biblical" backlash, I remain surprised at just how many people remain ignorant of what is taking place on a global scale.
Dr. Mary Holland is a researcher. She is one of the lionesses speaking out. She spoke to the UN about the Nuremberg Code being violated with vaccine mandates. Gutsy, considering the UN NWO agenda is part of the cabal behind all this takeover.
https://healthimpactnews.com/2016/n-y-law-professor-addresses-u-n-on-government-vaccine-policies-violating-the-nuremberg-code/
And mind you, she gave that speech back in 2016. Her use of the word "may" in her speech could now be a definitive "will" and "are."
Do a search on violation of the Nuremberg Code. If you use Google or a search engine using its protocols, page after page of hits stating the code is not being violated with vaccine mandates because the general health of the world must be considered. Lies of omission. And Dr. Holland mentions the UNESCO "Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights," something I was unaware of, that 193 countries adopted. It, too, demands the necessity of informed consent. And yet, lies upon lies and more lies have just pushed it all aside.
I know, people come here to read stuff about drums and drumming but, 2020 changed all that for me. Now, humanity is actually involved in a struggle beyond the scope of anything in history. Yes, I still play and record and make drums and write things here, like the new DIY page but, nothing is bigger right now than the Covid event, the Plandemic, the elitist agenda for control of the world, and what happens now and in the near future.
God help us.

463. Back to Drums and Drumming - December 29, 2021
Well, I turn 67 today, and almost didn't make it.
Yesterday was not a great day for my blood pressure. I decided to rearrange my drum set. I always do this, and always go back to one of two configurations. I try something for awhile and it just doesn't work out for one reason or another. Something is just not right and cannot be overcome because of what the instrument is; something that involves placement of various components in a particular element of reach, player to player. Kinesiology is involved. Logistics is involved. "Muscle memory" is involved.
When I got into big drum sets, beginning with the influence of Ginger Baker, back in the mid-60s, and then Carl Palmer and Billy Cobham. I always split two toms in front of me, a 12 and 13, or 13 and 14. Then in the early 90s, recording some early cassette tape versions of Concepts for Solo Drum Set, I did a drum battle with myself and moved all the drums to my left and parked a 10" tom in front of me for one set in the battle. My world changed and that 10" tom, regardless of what has been left or right of it for the last 3 decades, stays in front of me. I decided to change that. Rather than 3 toms up top, I tried 4.

My world changed and that 10" tom, regardless of what has been left or right of it for the last 3 decades, stays in front of me. I decided to change that. Rather than 3 toms up top, I tried 4.
I tried going back placing the 9,10,11 and 12 in front of me, centering the split of the 10 and 11 and placing some cable hats there. When you have a big set of drums there are lots of things to address, as far as footprint of hardware and dozens of adjustments to make. Then comes the mental and physical adjustments to strike it all. The 9 was not happy being placed a little farther back to accommodate the placement of the hi-hats in some rational position. I kept dropping a stick or something and I found myself hesitating for a nanosecond before going for it and it was goofing me up. To keep things in an ergonomic lateral line, the other three toms were placed a little farther away. So were the 6 and 8 above the hats but, the floor toms remained where they always are.
Just a couple of extra inches of distance in front of me created a constant train wreck of hoop clicks and off-center strikes. Moving my limbs out farther in front of me, then pulling them back in when getting to the floor toms in their usual positions, just created a kinesiology killing field. Push the floor toms out a couple inches, then. Nope. Messes with cymbal positions. Sooner or later I'd get the sweep of motion correct, yes? No. Plus, everything was pushed further left and adding the tube drums I made, almost put them behind me. It was all creating a less then enjoyable experience.
Other problems exist, as well, and I decided to put things back the way they were; 10" tom centered in front of me.
Now, that is not even what this post is about.
Is it just me or did whoever came up with curved rack bars place a curse upon mankind? I have found curved rack bars to be the biggest blood pressure antagonist I have ever encountered in my lifetime of setting up drums.
I resisted even trying a rack for years. When I finally did, floor battles ceased, most of them; the territorial conflagrations and saber rattling over tripod floorspace. And all kinds of easier mounting options arose. That was with a Pearl, straight and square tube assembly.
When I made the ever enlarging stacked plywood set, I decided to try a round bar rack and bought a no-name rack off ebay for a fantastic price. I've never seen it again. It's just like a Gibraltar and it came with more clamps, with more adjustability. I've not come upon clamps like these since. The one plague: setting up a curved bar.
Every time I reset the drums and cymbals and have to adjust placement and height of the curved rack bars, I come close to losing my mind.
WARNING: Before you purchase a rack with curved bars, consider the following:
Clamps for assembling racks address both horizontal and vertical adjustments in one. With straight pipes, no problems. You can just pass a pipe through one side to the other. With curved pipes... !!!!!AGHHHHH!!!!!
Curved pipes must be placed perfectly horizontal or the clamps will not close correctly on them. If the bar is twisted just slightly out of perfect horizontal, you are actually creating an oblong necessity to clamp the pipe. It's geometry. You have to loosen the vertical tension to be able to turn the clamp to perfectly follow the curve. Addressing that from two sides, and then having the height off the floor enter the process, side to side, and also addressing the rack legs and foot pieces, and my BP must hit 300 over 150. Just the slightest angle being off and it's so maddening I almost get to the point of picking the whole thing up and throwing it out the door. Just when you think you have it right, you stand back and notice your legs are crooked: something is getting yanked out of plumb when you tighten things back up, or the whole assembly rocks back and forth, not sitting perfectly flat on the floor. It's insane.
With all the renovations and designs in hardware to decrease set-up time, a curved rack bar is not one of them. A curved rack bar is a curse to time-saving endeavors. I know someone is reading this, nodding their head and saying, "Man, you got that right."
I see absolutely no advantages with a curved bar, and a book-full of problems.
I couldn't take it anymore. I ordered a straight pipe. Should be here in a few days. Everything will just have to sit until it arrives. I should have ordered a straight side-bar, as well. That's a second nightmare. Maybe I will. It just makes so much more sense.
I am guessing the curved rack came along to try and aid a triple tom set-up and enable the placement of the left and right toms get slightly closer to the player, and maybe that's an issue with typical tom mounts these days. I don't use typical tom mounts. I use modified snare drum stands which can extend any distance necessary to keep things in line.
Anyway, if you are in the market for a rack, consider the above, at least if you are a player that has a large kit and you rearrange things periodically and tweak stuff, etc.
What will I do with the curved pipe? Idk. Ebay or Craigslist, maybe. Maybe I'll try and use it for something out in the shop. We'll see. Drums? Yeah, no.

464. Should I Try Again? Nope. - December 29, 2021
So, me sits here and thinks, I wonder if there are any new drum forums out there. I do a search and find many have succumbed to social platforms that captured and retain the time involvement of so many today, and forums are vanishing.
I have written about drum forums before. Sooner or later something is written that gets people upset and decorum and "community" fall apart pretty fast. The faceless atmosphere of the web leads to reckless behavior so often it ends up sending people away much faster than drawing members in. Which is why I have been a member of various forums and call it quits time and again.
One that's been around since 1996 has not had a new post since 2020. It seems Covid might have increased participation but, not at that one forum. Matter of fact, in attempting to register, a window popped up stating no new registrations are being taken. Hm. Something happened there.
Another forum that's been around for quite a while but, I've never participated, came up in the search list. I went there and checked out the rules and regs and found what I need to know about the "community's" ability to remain rational and civil:
"Political, Religious or other "Hot Button" Posts:
While in the past we have allowed some discussion on these matters, _____________ has decided to ask its members to refrain from posting these hot button issues that can often produce negative sentiment amongst members. So, please do not post anything of a political or religious or otherwise controversial nature in the forum. We appreciate and value everyone's diverse background but wish to help maintain the sense of community that has been built by avoiding these topics. There are other online forums dedicate to these subjects and we encourage you to visit them to discuss those issues. Moderators will close and/or delete any thread or post that they deem violates this rule."
First, like any family or group or community, differences of belief, convictions and opinions exist. Tabling issues that "produce negative sentiment," is just closing a door on communication. If you truly do "appreciate and value everyone's diverse background" then maintaining a sense of true community is finding rational ways to communicate; not shut it down. The purpose of moderators is to control incivility and promote rational discussion. It does not matter how people disagree, if they remain civil and agree to disagree.
Is there a subject not affected or intertwined with music, which is intertwined with drumming? Certainly NOT political or religious matter. How many entertainers make a living putting political or religious commentary to music? Then how can discussion of political or religious views not be part of a community on a drum forum?
Like I mentioned last time I hit this topic, Covid has affected the world-wide music industry, from the manufacture of instruments, to the use of them in live or recorded circumstances and the places that is all done. How can a discussion of anything regarding Covid not be part of any discussion forum? I should not have to go to another forum to discuss something that is affecting the music industry.
"Lets Go, Brandon." Democrats find that offensive. Republicans find Joe Biden offensive. Joe Biden's administration is now affecting all citizens' ability to buy musical instruments, as inflation keeps rising on all goods, because of administration policies surrounding Covid and the economy: federal, state and local levels.
When I am told I cannot discuss something, that is censorship. Not how I discuss it. That is a separate matter. Public decorum can place bounds on words and attitudes and should, if all ages and people of the world are involved. If I can't discuss something in a civil manner because it's a "hot button" issue, it tells me the forum cannot retain civility and rational discussion among its members in its community, which tells me "an empty truck makes the most noise." The people not mature enough to have rational discussion complain and make noise and rather than people in positions of responsibility asking them to cool their jets and just post their comments in a civil way, they just shut everything down. That's a recipe for problems retarding growth.
If everything on drum forums comes down to "What kind of sticks do you use, what drums do you play," etc., maybe that's fine for the really young members but, for those who have deeper concerns about their chosen field of endeavor, musically speaking, life is a lot bigger than what cymbals I use.
The issue should not be subject matter but, individual forum members. Why shut down an entire thread where most are being civil and rational because one or more members will not be? You address the elements that refuse to be civil and shut them down, not the whole thread, not an entire subject germane to music and drumming in it.
Censorship is everywhere now and it is a sure sign of societal demise, and greater elitist, totalitarian control. A truly free society, knows freedom and liberty of speech is essential. It is a God-given right. If I cannot state that on any discussion forum, that forum is not a measure of successful use of my time. It cannot be. It does not understand the principles of the first Amendment and the principles of Americanism.
Nobody has a right not to be offended. Everybody has a right to express themselves, and is that not what music is: self-expression? Discussion about music and musical instruments must retain that avenue of freedom of expression and its Source, as the Founders understood it, or it falls away from what the Founders set up here, in America.
I obviously have no use for profanity. Today, it hardly exists as once defined. Music contains lots of profanity these days and while people have a right to speak it, they don't have much much common sense or civility or decorum to speak it around children, and for many of us, still, females. If they want to speak it around their children, ladies, so be it. I feel sorry for their children who will grow up and use it ten times more than their parents because that is the process of life and society in all civilizations throughout all time but, to use such language in a setting like a church... you might be free to scream it but, you're dense as a brick if you think anyone will be placed on notice you have anything rational to say.
Common sense, critical thinking, logic and reason. It's all disintegrating.
If I cannot discuss God and religion, anywhere in America, regarding any subject matter it applies to, and what affects it in society - including music and drum forums - something is vitally and fundamentally wrong.

465. Pedophilia and Sex Trafficking - December 30, 2021
The first time I heard about "pedogate" and "pizzagate" I rejected it. I had to. It was too insane, too disgusting; so reprehensible it could not possibly be true. Evidence and connecting links over time caused me to have to address it in my thinking, and finally, I have no doubts. There are names of people we know, in all walks of life who are so wicked and evil they sexually abuse children, they get involved with sex trafficking and they should be incarcerated.
The end of the Ghislaine Maxwell trial just adds more logical proof to the subject. The judge sealed all evidence in the case. Why? Because names are involved and everything those names are involved with; in politics, in entertainment, in sports, in religion, in business, in law enforcement, in the military, in all walks of life that would cause outrage such as this nation has probably never seen before.
Reportedly, the FBI confiscated evidence containing tens of thousands of photos and videos that contain enough evidence to bury just as many people that Epstein involved in his filthy empire. Big names of top tier people in society that would become the offscouring of that same society, should society learn about their activities.
So, what we logically have is a massive coverup, maybe the biggest coverup in criminal history yet. And that means these same names will continue their pedophilia and sex trafficking ways, whether Epstein and Maxwell are involved or not. New players will emerge to take their place. Money will drive that effort easier than an alcoholic reaching for a bottle is he does not get serious help.
What God sees is beyond our comprehension. He sees it all. Every person involved, every act, all the pain and suffering and perversion, as the cesspool of sin that Earth has become, grows larger with each passing year.
At some point, Epstein and Maxwell's empire was a conspiracy theory. That's all it was. Now, Epstein is dead, more than likely, if not surely, murdered. Maxwell will suffer consequences for her deeds, and the entire empire once thought to be a conspiracy theory, has toppled, save for the names of all the victims and the perpetrators. That means, in reality, it has not toppled. It will just morph into a revamped empire of money, victims and perpetrators.
The judge in this case did a disservice to humanity that cannot be estimated. Every name, regardless of position and place in society, should have been brought to justice because we are supposed to be a nation that operates as a Constitutional Republic under the rule of law that nobody is above. We see, in case after case, we are not.
I could go further back but, from September 11, 2001 to today, the rule of law has ceased to exist for all. It only exists for those without the money or position among elites to hover above it. The rest of us are cast aside as the cannon fodder they see us as. And now, we see death all around us from a manufactured, man-made, manipulated virus and the refusal to recognize any and all legitimate remedies, based on evidence, and the insane push, the literal push to see every human being "vaccinated" for an illness the evidence shows is no worse than a bad Flu, which, for all intents and purposes, it replaced for the last couple years, because the Flu somehow mysteriously vanished.
"Conspiracy theories?" If you believe that, you are so uninformed and so in a fog bank of mind control and psychological manipulation you may as well be in a literal "Matrix."
At this point one must wonder if there can be a 'red pill' to wake people up.
What will it take?
Still, more than half of humanity remains free of pharma fluid in their bodies. Unless the elites attempt to force inject everyone (no easy task by any stretch of possibilities), their takeover remains a real-time experiment they will have to improvise on as time moves along.
God will step in at some point because the message of the everlasting Gospel will do its vital work, and the Creator has reason to see to it humanity does not become a transhuman experiment to every last person.
Of course, God chose one man, and thereby his wife, his three sons, and their wives, to continue the human race, 4,000 years ago, when He destroyed the wicked world with a deluge. So, there is precedent but, then all could decide under the weight of conviction. Transhumans, losing ability for self-autonomy, would be a different situation.
I believe God will step in and take down the elitist cabal, not only because of its threat to humanity but, also because there are greater concerns, prophetically speaking.
I would not be surprised to see military tribunals established and every elitist will meet the fate they deserve for crimes against humanity. That does not save the world by a longshot. That will just open the field for the final players to step on to it, and the final movements will begin.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

466. The Vindication of Church and State?!?! - December 31, 2021
So, it's New Year's eve in America. Other parts of the world have crossed the timeline for the new year. In America, well, pushers of Covid hysteria, as usual, have tried to put a damper on celebrating, not that there is anything to celebrate. The difference between tonight and tomorrow morning, as far as Anthony Fauci and the rest of the cabal are concerned, is just another day to keep trying to push the agenda and gain control of the world. Plenty of people are writing plenty of articles on what to expect in 2022. It's pretty much all bad news, near as I can tell.
I am concerned with an article I just read that brings up a subject of greater import than the cabal's agenda... much greater, because it has prophetic possibilities written all over it.
http://frontlinesohio.com/index.php/2021/12/29/vindication-of-church-state-ohio-clergy-hear-call-to-civic-duty-slideshow/
"Is America too young to die? Some people believe this is the most critical time in America’s history. While citizens want to engage the culture, many believe it is a leap of faith to have pastors involved in civic government. There is a growing trend in the Buckeye Bible Belt, not of separation of church and state, but rather the vindication of church and state."
That's the opening paragraph. The article goes on to feature a list of full-time ministers getting into local and state and hopefully federal politics, if things go as they hope.
Everybody knows the principle, the generalized dogma of a wall of separation between church and state, as created by the Founders.
Secularists beat it to death in ways the Founders absolutely never intended, as attested by their own writings. The Founders wrote nothing about removing the influence of God from the politics and social fabric of the nation.
On the other hand, professed Christendom, the conglomeration of denominations, churches and Christian groups in America, tend to push the pendulum in the other direction.
NOTHING has been more dangerous to society down through the last 2000 years than religious people governing from a position of Christian dogma or, the rule of godlessness. Both end up killing people.
Professed Christians are the ones who put people in the stocks for not going to church in times past, or on chain gangs for breaking "Sabbath" (Sunday) laws. By the same token, China, North Korea, and other godless nations just persecute any and all people of faith, if their deity is seen as a threat to the authority of government, which in China, is god, for all intents and purposes.
Personally, I have no problem with clergy in roles of civic office. First, the Constitution states no religious test shall be held over anyone seeking public office. That means being a professed Protestant, or Catholic, or member of any other faith or no faith can be made a reason you cannot hold political office, unless your religious faith or anything you hold true can be shown to oppose the principles of the Federal Constitution and laws of the nation or state or locality one resides in, in harmony with the Federal and State Constitutions. Such a conflict of interest simply cannot be allowed.
Factually, there are policies and doctrines held by the Church of Rome, as well as Islam, and certainly atheism, that stand directly opposed to a nation that believes all rights and freedoms come from God, not man, even the right to disbelieve in God. If you do not believe that, you have no business being in an office of an elected civil servant because you cannot possibly remain in harmony with what the Founders established as the United States of America and serve its citizens.
The Federal Constitution does not mention God, the Creator, as other documents, like the Declaration of Independence does. Recognition of the Creator does not establish a national Church, like the Church of England, or the Catholic Church in Spain, or the Orthodox Church in Russia. It just recognizes the highest Power mankind must acknowledge for the good of society.
The issue is the separation of church and state, not God from state.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
As long as those in positions of religious clergy do not seek to make laws respecting an establishment of religion, like Sunday, for example; shutting down the nation on Sunday - which is possibly THE most ancient establishment of religion known on Earth - the state and the church can both function free of each other's interference and yet encourage principles of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness and both act as watchdog's, as well as a free Press, to guard those rights.
That's one side. Here's the other. What political party do these clergy belong to because, no political party in this nation is in harmony with the principles and truth of God in all respects. Where does God give those called to be ministers in the faith, permission to join entities that oppose, through party platforms, the laws of God? How does someone involved in full-time ministry have time to enter secular politics? They can claim they can do it. Personally, saving souls and saving America are two very different things. There is nothing in the Bible that says God's people are called to save political nations. Christ's kingdom is "NOT OF THIS WORLD." Christians are ambassadors for Christ.
2Cor 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
2Cor 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Ambassadors do not get involved in the political affairs of a nation they are an ambassador to. They represent the interests of the citizens of their own nation or kingdom residing in that nation or dealing with it in various affairs. Ambassadors do not vote in elections of nations they are ambassadors to. That's a fact that should be kept in the forefront. Ambassadors are apolitical, when it comes to another nation's politics, unless asked what their positions are from that of their own nations laws. If the nation they reside in threatens citizens of the nation they represent, or threatens the nation they represent in any way, then they move into action.
And look, politicians have nothing to do with legislating righteousness. God forbid! Christ said if you look at a woman with lust in your heart you have committed adultery. Do you want politicians legislating lust in the heart so people can be righteous? It's an absurd notion. Some states have laws against adultery as a physical act, not a though process. And yet, here we are in times of hate crimes, hate speech and hate thought and hate police to monitor and address it all. Mankind climbs into the seat of God, Himself. Persecution results.
Now, I can hear readers saying, "Yeah, right, so Christians are threatened throughout America and the clergy should be involved as ambassadors of the kingdom to protect citizens of God's kingdom." That sounds reasonable. The thing is, elected civil service does not address morality, which is what the clergy exists to address. Immorality runs rampant in America, obviously but, that is a condition brought about by godlessness and worldliness of churches and professed Christians weakening their witness to the world around them; not secular government representatives. One need not be a member of the clergy to remain faithful to principles of morality. All people of faith are supposed to do that. Now you get the idea why Jesus said, when He comes again, shall He find faith on Earth? He asked a rhetorical question.
As we have seen in prophecy, only a remnant of people in all the human race maintains the faith of Jesus at the end of time. The rest of the world, professing religious faith of one variety or another, involves itself in total rebellion against the law of God, the moral law, the Ten Commandments. The entire world divides over the law of God versus the laws of men.
Clergy in politics is a slippery slope. Well would it be if all elected civil servants truly had faith in God and acted accordingly. The nation would be a far more sound and liberty-driven place to live. What did John Adams state?
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
The bottom line is this. Godlessness abounds, as prophecy predicts. Is God asking politicians to change that or is God calling His people to live godly, righteous lives, with clergy calling mankind to repentance and salvation in Christ, to make an impact? The latter is biblical. The former?
Ask yourself why so many denominations exist, which we saw in our study of prophetic Babylon, is spiritual confusion, and then ask yourself if clergy from all denominations entered politics if any thing would get better or, would the same differences and squabbles separating churches be the rule of the day because the Christian church is split over many moral issues, that then affect laws made to address those issues. Not all Christians believe homosexuality is a sin, right? I do because the Bible is plain as the noonday sun on the subject but, the very Catholic Church's foundational principle is that the Bible is not the last word. The living church, and the magisterium of the church, its hierarchical clergy is the last word. So, Protestant clergy want to run things by biblical principle and Catholic priests want to run things according to Canon Law, and Imams want to run things according to Shariah Law, and atheists want God out of politics altogether. Seems to me a recipe for more confusion, not just in religious circles but, all circles; if clergy become politicians. Sure, they claim they just want to adhere to the Constitution but, have you forgotten the minister of Barack Obama and his radical Leftist ideas? Jeremiah Wright is hardly the only radical Leftist in professed Christian ministry.
Just because clergy enters politics does not come close to bringing America back to God and away from the insanity of this place and time. Only truth can do that, and the churches cannot agree on truth. You think they will agree on secular law? Good luck with that.
The Bible predicts a union of church and state that shall be based on false wonders and miracles and errors and lies, that shall bring the world to an end. That is the truth. Logically, when I see an article "vindicating the union of church and state" I see big trouble coming: inquisition, persecution, and remember, again, what Jesus said:
"They shall put you out of the synagogues: yes, the hour comes, that whosoever kills you shall think that he offers service to God." John 16:2
It happened then and it has happened in every century since then, and it shall happen at the close of time.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

As long as those in positions of religious clergy do not seek to make laws respecting an establishment of religion, like Sunday, for example; shutting down the nation on Sunday - which is possibly THE most ancient establishment of religion known on Earth - the state and the church can both function free of each other's interference and yet encourage principles of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness and both act as watchdog's, as well as a free Press, to guard those rights.
That's one side. Here's the other. What political party do these clergy belong to because, no political party in this nation is in harmony with the principles and truth of God in all respects. Where does God give those called to be ministers in the faith, permission to join entities that oppose, through party platforms, the laws of God? How does someone involved in full-time ministry have time to enter secular politics? They can claim they can do it. Personally, saving souls and saving America are two very different things. There is nothing in the Bible that says God's people are called to save political nations. Christ's kingdom is "NOT OF THIS WORLD." Christians are ambassadors for Christ.
2Cor 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
2Cor 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Ambassadors do not get involved in the political affairs of a nation they are an ambassador to. They represent the interests of the citizens of their own nation or kingdom residing in that nation or dealing with it in various affairs. Ambassadors do not vote in elections of nations they are ambassadors to. That's a fact that should be kept in the forefront. Ambassadors are apolitical, when it comes to another nation's politics, unless asked what their positions are from that of their own nations laws. If the nation they reside in threatens citizens of the nation they represent, or threatens the nation they represent in any way, then they move into action.
And look, politicians have nothing to do with legislating righteousness. God forbid! Christ said if you look at a woman with lust in your heart you have committed adultery. Do you want politicians legislating lust in the heart so people can be righteous? It's an absurd notion. Some states have laws against adultery as a physical act, not a though process. And yet, here we are in times of hate crimes, hate speech and hate thought and hate police to monitor and address it all. Mankind climbs into the seat of God, Himself. Persecution results.
Now, I can hear readers saying, "Yeah, right, so Christians are threatened throughout America and the clergy should be involved as ambassadors of the kingdom to protect citizens of God's kingdom." That sounds reasonable. The thing is, elected civil service does not address morality, which is what the clergy exists to address. Immorality runs rampant in America, obviously but, that is a condition brought about by godlessness and worldliness of churches and professed Christians weakening their witness to the world around them; not secular government representatives. One need not be a member of the clergy to remain faithful to principles of morality. All people of faith are supposed to do that. Now you get the idea why Jesus said, when He comes again, shall He find faith on Earth? He asked a rhetorical question.
As we have seen in prophecy, only a remnant of people in all the human race maintains the faith of Jesus at the end of time. The rest of the world, professing religious faith of one variety or another, involves itself in total rebellion against the law of God, the moral law, the Ten Commandments. The entire world divides over the law of God versus the laws of men.
Clergy in politics is a slippery slope. Well would it be if all elected civil servants truly had faith in God and acted accordingly. The nation would be a far more sound and liberty-driven place to live. What did John Adams state?
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
The bottom line is this. Godlessness abounds, as prophecy predicts. Is God asking politicians to change that or is God calling His people to live godly, righteous lives, with clergy calling mankind to repentance and salvation in Christ, to make an impact? The latter is biblical. The former?
Ask yourself why so many denominations exist, which we saw in our study of prophetic Babylon, is spiritual confusion, and then ask yourself if clergy from all denominations entered politics if any thing would get better or, would the same differences and squabbles separating churches be the rule of the day because the Christian church is split over many moral issues, that then affect laws made to address those issues. Not all Christians believe homosexuality is a sin, right? I do because the Bible is plain as the noonday sun on the subject but, the very Catholic Church's foundational principle is that the Bible is not the last word. The living church, and the magisterium of the church, its hierarchical clergy is the last word. So, Protestant clergy want to run things by biblical principle and Catholic priests want to run things according to Canon Law, and Imams want to run things according to Shariah Law, and atheists want God out of politics altogether. Seems to me a recipe for more confusion, not just in religious circles but, all circles; if clergy become politicians. Sure, they claim they just want to adhere to the Constitution but, have you forgotten the minister of Barack Obama and his radical Leftist ideas? Jeremiah Wright is hardly the only radical Leftist in professed Christian ministry.
Just because clergy enters politics does not come close to bringing America back to God and away from the insanity of this place and time. Only truth can do that, and the churches cannot agree on truth. You think they will agree on secular law? Good luck with that.
The Bible predicts a union of church and state that shall be based on false wonders and miracles and errors and lies, that shall bring the world to an end. That is the truth. Logically, when I see an article "vindicating the union of church and state" I see big trouble coming: inquisition, persecution, and remember, again, what Jesus said:
"They shall put you out of the synagogues: yes, the hour comes, that whosoever kills you shall think that he offers service to God." John 16:2
It happened then and it has happened in every century since then, and it shall happen at the close of time.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

467. Oh, Wiki! - January 2, 2022
Pretty much anyone who has spent time looking at Wikipedia has come across something they know is incorrect. We have seen articles exposing how Wiki works, how moderators will change things, minute by minute, to keep things focused on a Leftist narrative. Still, millions use it for some basic info on a variety of topics. Many see it as a "take the meat and throw away the bones" kind-of source of information.
I was curious what Wiki had to state about people standing up against the official narrative about Covid-19, based on a search I did for a medical doctor speaking out against it. When I do a search, on Start Page, if Wiki has an article on it, it appears off to the right of the search list. On this particular search the Wiki box stated something I knew was false. I decided to see what Wiki has to say about various people at the front of the resistance to the medical tyranny taking place.
I was familiar with Robert Kennedy Jr. before Covid. I read a research paper he and others composed that speaks to the matter of current vaccine ingredients, autism, and other adverse reactions children have experienced. It was shocking, to say the least. Kennedy is NOT anti-vaccine. Kennedy is anti-toxic ingredients put into vaccines. What does Wiki state about him?
Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. (born January 17, 1954) is an American environmental lawyer, author, conspiracy theorist and anti-vaccine advocate.
When Covid struck in the main stream media, my adverse reaction was pretty much instantaneous. That was January, of 2020. In doing my own research I quickly began to come upon names of people speaking out about the illness, its origins, the medical establishment's treatment of it, and ultimately the push for a vaccine at the expense of all other successful treatments physicians were using.
What does Wiki have to state about some of these physicians? I tried to list them as I recall being exposed to them and this list is by no means exhaustive.
America's Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) is an American right-wing political organization.[1][2][3] Affiliated with Tea Party Patriots co-founder Jenny Beth Martin and publicly led by Simone Gold, the group is opposed to measures intended to control the COVID-19 pandemic, including business closures and vaccination. The group promotes falsehoods about the COVID-19 pandemic and COVID-19 vaccines.
Simone Melissa Gold[3] (née Tizes)[4] is an American physician, attorney,[2] author, and the founder of America's Frontline Doctors, an American right-wing political organization known for spreading misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic.[5][6][7] She gained notoriety when a video of an America's Frontline Doctors press conference in front of the US Supreme Court Building went viral in July 2020.[1][8] She is known for speaking out against the COVID-19 vaccine, stating that "[w]e doctors are pro-vaccine, but this is not a vaccine."[9]
On January 5, 2021, Gold spoke at a rally in Washington D.C., telling attendees to refuse to be vaccinated for COVID-19 and the next day took part in the 2021 United States Capitol attack. She spoke from the rotunda of the Capitol and was later arrested for her participation in the storming, having admitted she entered the building.
Stella Gwandiku-Ambe Immanuel (born 1965) is a Cameroonian-American physician and pastor. In mid-2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, a video went viral on social media platforms in which Immanuel said hydroxychloroquine can cure COVID-19, and that public health measures such as social distancing and the wearing of face masks are ineffective and unnecessary. The platforms removed Immanuel's videos and posts, which they said promote misinformation related to the pandemic.[1]
Judy Anne Mikovits (born 1957 or 1958) is an American former research scientist who is known for her discredited medical claims, such as that murine endogenous retroviruses are linked to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). As an outgrowth of these claims, she has engaged in anti-vaccination activism, promoted conspiracy theories, and been accused of scientific misconduct. She has made false claims about vaccines, COVID-19, and CFS, among others.
From there, the dam burst, as more and more medical professionals began to speak out; creating a virtually endless list around the world. Some of these are listed next, as I was exposed to their calls for actual scientific protocols for treating Covid.
Robert Wallace Malone is an American virologist and immunologist. His work has focused on mRNA technology, pharmaceuticals, and drug repurposing research. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he has been criticized for promoting misinformation about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.
Peter Andrew McCullough (/məˈkʌlə/;[1] born December 29, 1962) is an American cardiologist.[2] He was vice chief of internal medicine at Baylor University Medical Center and a professor at Texas A&M University.[3]
Dr. McCullough is recognized internationally as a leading figure in the study of chronic kidney disease as a cardiovascular risk state, having over 1,000 publications to his name and over 500 citations in the National Library of Medicine.[4]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, McCullough promoted misinformation and falsehoods about COVID-19, the COVID-19 vaccine, and COVID-19 treatments.
Vladimir (Zev) Zelenko (born 1973)[1] is a Ukrainian-American family physician known for promoting a three drug combination of hydroxychloroquine, zinc sulfate and azithromycin as part of an experimental outpatient treatment for COVID-19 that he has promoted as the Zelenko Protocol. He has also promoted unfounded medical advice, conspiracy theories, and misinformation about COVID-19 vaccination.[2]
Sherri J. Tenpenny is an American anti-vaccination activist who supports the disproven hypothesis that vaccines cause autism.[1] An osteopathic physician, she is the author of four books opposing vaccination. A 2015 lecture tour of Australia was canceled due to a public outcry over her views on vaccination, which oppose established scientific consensus.[1] A 2021 Center for Countering Digital Hate analysis concluded that Tenpenny is among the top twelve people spreading COVID-19 misinformation and pseudoscientific anti-vaccine misinformation on social media platforms. She has falsely asserted the vaccines magnetize people and connect them with cellphone towers.
Michael Yeadon is a British anti-vaccine activist[1][2] and retired pharmacologist who attracted media attention for making false or unfounded claims about the COVID-19 pandemic and the safety of COVID-19 vaccines.[3][1] The Times has described him as "a hero of Covid conspiracy theorists"[4] and "a key figure in the antivax movement".[5] He previously served as the chief scientist and vice-president of the allergy and respiratory research division of the drug company Pfizer, and is the co-founder and former CEO of the biotechnology company Ziarco.
Vernon Coleman (born 18 May 1946) is an English conspiracy theorist,[1][2][3] anti-vaccination activist,[4][5] AIDS denialist,[6][7] blogger and novelist who writes on topics related to human health, politics and animal issues.
Coleman's medical claims have been widely discredited and described as pseudoscientific. He was formerly a newspaper columnist and general practitioner (GP).
Having listened to all these people, numerous times in various interviews, etc., I know Wiki can be nothing more than a Leftist indoctrination center. There is no other logical conclusion I could come to. Wiki slyly states opinion as fact. "Discredited" means a Leftist or Leftist group or organization, etc., has stated something against something or someone. Wiki, itself, has to be fact-checked before anything it states can be accepted as accurate. I just placed the opening paragraph or two on each of these people and many more people can be listed; and the distortions, the DISINFORMATION is incredible. It is all designed to mislead. The tracks of truth and error can lie very close, and can be manipulated, and Wiki does a truly professional job of it.
It is almost as foolproof as believing if Wiki states anything against someone, they are likely to be a person people should take positive note of, when it comes to Covid-19.
Wiki shows the obvious divide in America now; which is at war. You can imagine what Wiki states about Alex Jones, and while I do not subscribe to everything Jones puts out there, his moniker for his website - InfoWars - is perfectly accurate: a war of information to free or control the minds of people. It is taking place and has been, literally, for ages.
This war will continue to take place until the end of the world. The bottom line is, the war, the greater war is between Christ and Satan; forces of one versus forces of the other. Lucifer is a liar and the father of lies; a murderer, mankind's adversary, and the original instigator of deception and confusion. From there, it filters down through human actors and agents under his influence and control.
Nobody has to be foaming at the mouth to be controlled by the Devil and his agents. Judas is the prime example. Judas Iscariot was considered the "brightest of the bunch." He is the one disciple Christ did not call. He decided to follow Jesus and make a name for himself. Indeed, how he did. When was the last time you met someone named Judas?
Evil does not always foam at the mouth. It often portrays an intelligent and talented front of refinement and trustworthiness.
The world has been at war since Adam and Eve were tempted and fell.
God put enmity; hatred, between the seed of the woman, Adam and Eve's children, and the seed of the serpent: i.e. Lucifer and those who follow his lies and wickedness; and the war for the mind has raged ever since, and will until the close of time.
2Cor 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
2Cor 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
This Covid event has taken the battlefield to a forefront never seen in world history. Though the two sides have always existed, such a sharp line being drawn between the two sides, on a world-wide scale, has never been since since the Deluge. The division of humanity will continue on, until only two, final, irrevocable sides exist: those for Christ and His truth, and those against Christ and His truth.
Truth and character will be the final determination amongst mankind. Truth and character. The faces and lives of all humanity will reflect the truth and character of Christ, or the lies and character of Lucifer. Light or darkness. Warm love or cold hatred. It's happening now, all around us. Common sense versus fear. True science versus "science, falsely so called." The plan of God versus the agenda of men.
Events like these show a great deal about character. When the final test arrives: the law of God versus the traditions of men, a demarcation of character will shine or, show darkness; and all Heaven will see who is safe to save, and who would just continue the reign of sin and rebellion if allowed to.
God wins. The truth will triumph and those who believe and live it, will triumph with it.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

468. There Is Only One Answer - January 2, 2022
I just watched a 3 hour interview of Dr. Robert Malone with Joe Rogan.
I find it fascinating that both Peter McCullough and Robert Malone may have now addressed more people via Joe Rogan's podcast than any other platform they have been exposed on, maybe more than all others combined.
Both men were reticent to state the kind of conclusions drawn by others, like Zev Zelenko, and other doctors who state point blank, this is a totalitarian scam to gain control of the world, and that's okay because, as yet, with all the smoking guns there are to draw that conclusion, that kind of information just gets attacked, instantly, and the purpose for McCullough and Malone and others in their field, is to educate and present data, and fight for the children of this world being changed, literally changed as human beings through this event. They are being changed because they are very social creatures that not only interact through physical means but, are educated to speak by physically seeing parents, siblings and friends speak, and their facial expressions and learn societal interaction through modes of physical contact and sensation. Lockdowns, masks, tents, injections, all of it and more is developing a generation where studies are now showing a 20% drop in I.Q. in children. When Malone said that my jaw dropped. So quickly the demise is happening.
My wife works in a pediatric dental office. She just told me she sees a huge influx of children diagnosed with ADD and ADHD, Austism or, as she says it is stated, "in or on the spectrum:" developmental problems. Some have already attempted suicide. Malone mentioned suicide among children has reached epidemic proportions. Drug use, the same.
I have frequently mentioned the military industrial complex. Malone mentioned another, the medical industrial complex. Another can be added, the financial industrial complex. There is also the technology industrial complex. And all of them are funded and/ or owned by companies so huge, they have far more power than national governments.
The aspect of mass psychosis being perpetrated upon the world's people, through technology, gaining more and more influence and control in people's lives, has also been a driving force being used to control populations and Malone's take on that seemed to really hit home with Rogan.
Both men got into how to stop this. For me, a non-starter. If God is left out of this, as not just an answer but, THE answer, the money moguls shall win. There is nothing to stop them.
In Naples, Italy, the mayor attempted to lock down New Year's eve, for a second time. This time, all throughout the city, as far as eyes could see, fireworks were shot off in an amazing display of resistance to the tyranny. It's an incredible two minute and twenty-seconds of explosive "WE ARE NOT BOWING DOWN ANYMORE!" That's the limit for videos on the social platform the person who uploaded that video could show but, as yet I haven't been able to find out just how long the fireworks continued.
Here's the thing. People in power do not care about fireworks and resistance. They care only about money, power and control. Resistance is just pestiferous to the money towers. No one will state openly that bringing down tyrants is the only way to stop tyranny because whoever does will be arrested for anarchy or revolution, whatever so, everybody stays in the peaceful lane. Peace is no threat to tyrants. It's an oxymoron. It seems logical to believe unless physical resistance to tyranny takes place, for instance, in Australia. Until not only do people peacefully resist but, form defensive lines stopping rogue police from arresting people standing up for liberty, police will just do their jobs because they are part of the overriding psychosis. They know what they are doing is wrong, yet, they do it anyway. "Just doing my job," they say. The immorality of their actions is not enough to convict them and stop them.
Over 12,000 requests for religious exemptions have been given to the DoD and all of them have been denied. All military must be injected. Why? Because soldiers might get sick. Natural immunity? Doesn't matter. Injections required. Get injected or get out, with a dishonorable discharge, when the dishonor is totally in the laps of those in the DoD.
Nurses had to physically leave their jobs and leave hospitals in an organizational mess without their constant work and many hospitals are now backing down from mandates. Tens of thousands of truckers refuse injections but, the government does not care about breaking supply lines. That just figures into the weakening of the national fabric of society.
The money towers are going for control of planet Earth. This is the biggest event of its kind in all human history. Peaceful demonstrations? Do people honestly think Vanguard and Black Rock and other gigantic investment corporations, that have no loyalty to any national flag, any national Constitution, any culture or people care about peaceful protest? What possible threat can such actions be to them?
They are testing the waters of forced injections. Two-thirds of the world's population are saying, No. What is the path, then? Logically, force "vaccinate" or destroy economies and bring humanity to starvation. And what will stop them from doing either or both?
God. The Creator. The almighty Sovereign of the universe. That is the only avenue to march towards and down. Only God can stop these maniacal lunatics.
While Joe Rogan sat there and said "Jesus f_ _ _ _ _ _ g Christ," at one point, it became obvious calling on God is not a path He believes in. Malone? He's planning a big rally in DC on Jan. 23rd. Standing in a spot in Washington, D.C. all day, listening to people speak about resistance, will stop the tyrants? Seriously?
I can appreciate both of them speaking out and providing a platform to do it but, no. Rallies will not stop this evil. Talking about it, educating people, warning people will wake people up but, that will not stop what is being perpetuated in this event. This is a coordinated, physical event. Injections are not ideas.
Robert Kennedy's book about Fauci and the cabal is selling so fast, merchants are stopping its sale! Kennedy's publisher had to openly state never has such a thing happened in it's existence. A best seller, removed from the marketplace? Something making money for all involved, stopped? It's a physical piece of information to wake people up, and well it should and I hope it does but, the money moguls... they just stop its sale. They literally physically control EVERYTHING. All industries, all governments, everything is under the control of their money.
It is so easy for these monsters to pull this off because God is no longer a vital influence and fellowship of the vast populations of nations. Mankind is on its own. Mankind loses.
Why don't people see that? Because they do not have a living connection with God. They can't see it. Man is their post to lean on. Man is their answer. Man is their strength. Man is their savior.
Man will fail them, every time, in every way.
God, help humanity to see the One Answer that can stop this march of evil.
More specifically, help mankind to see why this evil is in control to begin with. It did not happen overnight. It did not happen in one year, nor in one decade. This is the failure of generations to maintain a living connection with God.
I would remind you of history. The Protestant Reformation changed the world. Nations stood up to the power of the Papacy; died to be free and have liberty from religious tyranny. The United States of America was founded on the principles of the Reformation.
I know the Bible and history show the Mother of abominations is the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church. Despite hundreds of millions of faithful believers, whom I could stand next to in resisting the current evil, its hierarchy, its centralized control as an actual nation, far more than a church, has its hands in everything. As outlandish as that seems, Bible prophecy powerfully stakes its claim on that truth and the entire Western hemisphere was changed as a result. The decline of the principles of the Reformation has allowed this great evil to rise. It must never be forgotten that God has spoken on this matter. Voices within the Church of Rome are calling on humanity to resist the evil surrounding us. An invitation to all humanity is being given. Sincere voices? Maybe. Maybe not.
People have no idea what is coming; far worse than what the Faucis and the Gates, and the Schwabs, and the Rothchilds of this world are attempting now.
The end of the world is coming, some day, exactly as God has stated it will.
With all that is happening, affecting daily life -
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
I find it fascinating that both Peter McCullough and Robert Malone may have now addressed more people via Joe Rogan's podcast than any other platform they have been exposed on, maybe more than all others combined.
Both men were reticent to state the kind of conclusions drawn by others, like Zev Zelenko, and other doctors who state point blank, this is a totalitarian scam to gain control of the world, and that's okay because, as yet, with all the smoking guns there are to draw that conclusion, that kind of information just gets attacked, instantly, and the purpose for McCullough and Malone and others in their field, is to educate and present data, and fight for the children of this world being changed, literally changed as human beings through this event. They are being changed because they are very social creatures that not only interact through physical means but, are educated to speak by physically seeing parents, siblings and friends speak, and their facial expressions and learn societal interaction through modes of physical contact and sensation. Lockdowns, masks, tents, injections, all of it and more is developing a generation where studies are now showing a 20% drop in I.Q. in children. When Malone said that my jaw dropped. So quickly the demise is happening.
My wife works in a pediatric dental office. She just told me she sees a huge influx of children diagnosed with ADD and ADHD, Austism or, as she says it is stated, "in or on the spectrum:" developmental problems. Some have already attempted suicide. Malone mentioned suicide among children has reached epidemic proportions. Drug use, the same.
I have frequently mentioned the military industrial complex. Malone mentioned another, the medical industrial complex. Another can be added, the financial industrial complex. There is also the technology industrial complex. And all of them are funded and/ or owned by companies so huge, they have far more power than national governments.
The aspect of mass psychosis being perpetrated upon the world's people, through technology, gaining more and more influence and control in people's lives, has also been a driving force being used to control populations and Malone's take on that seemed to really hit home with Rogan.
Both men got into how to stop this. For me, a non-starter. If God is left out of this, as not just an answer but, THE answer, the money moguls shall win. There is nothing to stop them.
In Naples, Italy, the mayor attempted to lock down New Year's eve, for a second time. This time, all throughout the city, as far as eyes could see, fireworks were shot off in an amazing display of resistance to the tyranny. It's an incredible two minute and twenty-seconds of explosive "WE ARE NOT BOWING DOWN ANYMORE!" That's the limit for videos on the social platform the person who uploaded that video could show but, as yet I haven't been able to find out just how long the fireworks continued.
Here's the thing. People in power do not care about fireworks and resistance. They care only about money, power and control. Resistance is just pestiferous to the money towers. No one will state openly that bringing down tyrants is the only way to stop tyranny because whoever does will be arrested for anarchy or revolution, whatever so, everybody stays in the peaceful lane. Peace is no threat to tyrants. It's an oxymoron. It seems logical to believe unless physical resistance to tyranny takes place, for instance, in Australia. Until not only do people peacefully resist but, form defensive lines stopping rogue police from arresting people standing up for liberty, police will just do their jobs because they are part of the overriding psychosis. They know what they are doing is wrong, yet, they do it anyway. "Just doing my job," they say. The immorality of their actions is not enough to convict them and stop them.
Over 12,000 requests for religious exemptions have been given to the DoD and all of them have been denied. All military must be injected. Why? Because soldiers might get sick. Natural immunity? Doesn't matter. Injections required. Get injected or get out, with a dishonorable discharge, when the dishonor is totally in the laps of those in the DoD.
Nurses had to physically leave their jobs and leave hospitals in an organizational mess without their constant work and many hospitals are now backing down from mandates. Tens of thousands of truckers refuse injections but, the government does not care about breaking supply lines. That just figures into the weakening of the national fabric of society.
The money towers are going for control of planet Earth. This is the biggest event of its kind in all human history. Peaceful demonstrations? Do people honestly think Vanguard and Black Rock and other gigantic investment corporations, that have no loyalty to any national flag, any national Constitution, any culture or people care about peaceful protest? What possible threat can such actions be to them?
They are testing the waters of forced injections. Two-thirds of the world's population are saying, No. What is the path, then? Logically, force "vaccinate" or destroy economies and bring humanity to starvation. And what will stop them from doing either or both?
God. The Creator. The almighty Sovereign of the universe. That is the only avenue to march towards and down. Only God can stop these maniacal lunatics.
While Joe Rogan sat there and said "Jesus f_ _ _ _ _ _ g Christ," at one point, it became obvious calling on God is not a path He believes in. Malone? He's planning a big rally in DC on Jan. 23rd. Standing in a spot in Washington, D.C. all day, listening to people speak about resistance, will stop the tyrants? Seriously?
I can appreciate both of them speaking out and providing a platform to do it but, no. Rallies will not stop this evil. Talking about it, educating people, warning people will wake people up but, that will not stop what is being perpetuated in this event. This is a coordinated, physical event. Injections are not ideas.
Robert Kennedy's book about Fauci and the cabal is selling so fast, merchants are stopping its sale! Kennedy's publisher had to openly state never has such a thing happened in it's existence. A best seller, removed from the marketplace? Something making money for all involved, stopped? It's a physical piece of information to wake people up, and well it should and I hope it does but, the money moguls... they just stop its sale. They literally physically control EVERYTHING. All industries, all governments, everything is under the control of their money.
It is so easy for these monsters to pull this off because God is no longer a vital influence and fellowship of the vast populations of nations. Mankind is on its own. Mankind loses.
Why don't people see that? Because they do not have a living connection with God. They can't see it. Man is their post to lean on. Man is their answer. Man is their strength. Man is their savior.
Man will fail them, every time, in every way.
God, help humanity to see the One Answer that can stop this march of evil.
More specifically, help mankind to see why this evil is in control to begin with. It did not happen overnight. It did not happen in one year, nor in one decade. This is the failure of generations to maintain a living connection with God.

Why Words Matter
Johnny is off to war.
Johnny is in the war.
Johnny is from the war.
The differences are plain. Off, in, from. Words matter. "From" has multiple possible meanings. Maybe Johnny was born in the war. Maybe Johnny has noticeable physical or mental or emotional circumstances in life that developed from the war.
Johnny died from Covid.
Johnny died with Covid.
The medical difference is a canyon of distance; a world of contrast. For months now, the CDC, and various nations and various studies have all downgraded the numbers - which were used to scare citizens in 24/7 main stream news cycles - of the people who actually died from sole complications of Covid. Italy, for instance, has released a number so significant, trust in anything Italian authorities state about anything is now pretty much lost on the Italian citizenry. 97% of people said to have died in Italy from Covid, actually died WITH Covid. They had previous conditions that would have, or might have taken their life, regardless of Covid. When the CDC admitted only 6% of deaths were actually attributed solely to Covid, why did that not make national news for at least a 24-hour news cycle? Would I know about the Italian situation if I did not see it on an alt news site? No.
I'm watching an interview Dr. Peter McCullough did with Alex Jones last week. Peter McCullough, world renowned physician, on InfoWars. Just imagine that happening two years ago. Not happening. Never. Jones has been a pariah in America for decades. McCullough did an interview WITH Alex Jones, in his studio. Second time. Where McCullough would have stayed miles FROM Jones two years ago, to day he does interviews WITH him. Why? Because main stream news and medical forces are trying to stop McCullough and colleagues from getting the truth out. InfoWars will allow them to speak and show documentation, charts, slide presentations, whatever they want to do and do it for hours, not 3 minute interviews.

Everything has changed in two years. "Trusted" news agencies are now the lightweights, the jokes, the jerks of information peddling. The only people who trust them are those who have lost the ability to critically think a matter through. They robotically listen and obey.
The "conspiracy theorists," doing what the main stream press once did, just keep investigating and digging and do not create news to report. They just report pertinent information, whether it is "news" or not. It may become news. It may not but, the driving force is the overwhelming purpose of supplying people with information to make up their own minds. The internet is now saturated with such outlets.
When I was in ministry I used to say, Anybody with a photocopier can now become a ministry, and people chuckled. It was true, though. The lack of denominational leadership to tell the truth caused the rise of such ministries like flowers in a watered desert across the denominational world.
Yeah, words have meaning and meanings have purpose, and purpose is what keeps people vital and energized.
That works in both camps, too; Left and Right.
Pay attention to words. Especially, the Words of God.
I trust all news.
I trust most news.
I trust some news.
I trust scant news.
I trust no news.
Here's a headline I just saw:
Unprecedented: Deaths in Indiana for ages 18-64 are up 40%

469. Two Horrifying Reports - January 5, 2022
A week ago I was lamenting curved rack bars, ordered a straight bar, got it, and spent the last couple days working on a new set-up. Was going to go right into the drum room and finish up today. I got sidetracked.
Reading headlines just brings more bad news. Emmanuel Macron, France's elitist "leader," just wants to "piss off" the unvaccinated by making it more and more difficult for them to go about normal, daily life. I did not believe anyone would be so stupid to say something like that so, I checked it out and news sources around the world have articles on his comments. Only an elitist, or a moron, believing they are totally isolated from reproach and accountability, would make such comments. And articles are quick to point out Macron has a large enough following to win reelection. So, there you go. Mass psychosis.
The non-president Biden's numbers continue to tank, which needs no fact checking on.
FEMA is running drills for what to do if an EMP or nuclear warhead is set-off in the atmosphere. Hm.
Some Euro Covid/injection protesters hacked Pfizer, Moderna and J&J and added information to an older story that the vax vials are sent out in numbered lots of potency: a literal experiment upon unsuspecting victims of adverse events around the world, especially Europe and America. Not surprising at all. Definitive murder on any scale of justice.
Dr. David Martin has now put together a packet of information for attorneys general, and any and all others showing the crimes of Fauci and the rest of the cabal, and how they are being committed, with inferences that any and all people cooperating with the agenda are now legally responsible and can be tried for complicit negligence. They know or should have known, by law, what they are doing. Will attorneys general take up the fight? Forgive me for being skeptical.
Then this, and I said, NO WAY. But... of course... WAY.
https://healthimpactnews.com/2021/fbi-declassifies-files-on-the-cias-involvement-in-satanic-ritual-abuse-and-child-sex-trafficking/
https://medicalkidnap.com/2019/10/21/christian-churches-redefine-the-meaning-of-orphan-to-justify-participating-in-child-trafficking/
Now, on the face of it, knowing the world is going mad, and darkness covers the Earth; gross darkness the people; no surprises. Just more sin and wickedness but, these stories report things straight from Satan's conference room.
Sex trafficking of children and minors is rampant. THAT is the real pandemic. A pandemic is an illness that travels to other continents. Sex trafficking is a pandemic. It is on ALL Continents, in all countries.
I've done a lot of public speaking in my life. I could count on one hand the number of times I mentioned child sex abuse and sex trafficking. It just was not something "out there" to comment upon. Today? It would have to be 100% part of any seminar I'd give on signs of the times.
The life of a step-daughter brought me into contact with CPS (Child Protection Services). There wasn't much any of their representatives did that gave me cause to respect the agency. One of them told me, Overworked, underpaid, burn-out, high turnover were constant problems that plagued the agency. I'm going to make an educated guess those who even catch an inkling of information what CPS is involved in run for the hills, asap, when they realize what is happening.
Nothing would surprise me about the CIA. The simmering to boiling, ongoing feud between them and the FBI, which can also do things that do not surprise anyone at this point, reveals corruption in the international agency that just connects dots no citizen of the world should have to connect.
I know corruption exists in churches. I have seen its ugly head and experienced its wrath. I was not prepared for what the second article gets into, though. I have no words. "Vengeance is mine. I will repay, saith the LORD." That's all I would state.
If we knew what God knows, what God sees, worldwide, we'd implode, spirit, soul and body.
If you read the articles and watch any of the videos, expect to be... well, pick any negative emotion. You'll experience at least a dismal trio of them.
Even if I do not make it, and I mean that sincerely, in all reality, I hope Jesus comes imminently soon to end the nightmare that is Earth. For the sake of children, I hope Jesus returns and powders the perpetrators of such evil as these articles report upon.
May God watch over the hearts and minds of the children exposed to such Satanic abuse, and make it nothing but a memory that passes into nothingness when eternity grants them a universe to explore and enjoy.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
I'm adding an addendum to this. I just wrote a previous post about words having meanings. What is an orphan? The second article gets into that. An orphan is someone with no one. No parents or known adequate relatives to care for them. That is what I always understood. Orphans were children with no families. Not today. The definition has changed. "Orphan" can mean any number of things that make a child adoptable. That means children can be taken from parents, especially in third-world countries, and made "orphans" that end up in Child Protect Care Services around the world. From there... the tragedy train continues down its baleful tracks.
Everything uncovered about these subjects, with profuse documentation, not theory, conspiracy or otherwise, seems to go nowhere. Why? Logically because so many people in positions of authority and power are involved, massive walls and coverups are successfully employed.
Judgment has arrived - "...the hour of His judgment has come."
Judgment will be executed.
Yes; even so, come, Lord Jesus.

470. You See? You Cannot Trust Politicians - January 6, 2022
In just hours, last Jan. 6, people were testifying of the odd things that happened at the Capitol involving Capitol police, men dressed in black, and other strange characters. In days, then weeks, and months, today, the alt news is now saturated with video and investigative evidence that the events of Jan.6 were a set up by FBI agents, Capitol Police, and paid characters to instigate and in some cases physically lead citizens into the building, and then turn on them. In many cases, this "attack" shows people just walking around, filming things with their phones; totally innocuous. If that was an insurrection, somebody missed the memo.
Ashli Babbit was shot to death by an agent. She posed no threat. At worst, she was trespassing. She was unarmed. She's dead. The shooter, now known; no charges of any kind. You know all this, if you read alt news investigative reports and research.
With all this video and testimony now known, D.C. politicians are choosing to be blind to it, have an agenda and will never let it go for the sake of the truth, nor prosecute the actual perpetrators of what happened.
I hate politics because I cannot stand politicians. They are lying, compromising, scheming, conniving vipers and rats that cannot be trusted. They simply cannot be trusted.
Dan Crenshaw, Ted Cruz, both Texas Reps, are traitors. They have sided with enemies of the Constitution and rule of law, for political expediency. They have lost all possible credibility with true patriots and Conservatives.
Donald Trump, yet still pushing these deadly pharmaceutical fluids against a mountain of evidence of their dangers. The whole crew of them, including Rand Paul, who talks such a good game but, does nothing to actually stand on the rule of law to address the Fauci/Gates cabal and rattle every cage he has to, to do something to stop the Pharma adverse reaction locomotive. He now states, if the GOP gains the House and Senate in November, he'll pursue criminal charges. It is ALL THEATER. It is all show, for reelection. It is all a sham, while hundreds of innocent patriots sit in jail and in some cases, literally rot with unattended illnesses, totally cut off from family, friends, and at times, against the law, their own attorneys. One year in, and many have yet to go before judge.
To need the results of an election to enforce the rule of law... what the hell is that!?!? That is an open admission the justice department is too corrupt to do their jobs. Washington, D.C. is the most corrupt and dangerous city on planet Earth. It is filled with nothing but, reelection hounds.
Maybe they are all, every last one of them, under the deadly hands of deep state agencies, threatened by them, and their families, too. Would that surprise anyone? When it comes to an oath you swore to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic, it may be a reason but, it is no excuse.
Anybody who questions whether or not the USA is the second beast of Revelation 13 is asleep at the wheel.
America? It's gone and only something worse will replace it; whether its political, religious, or the coming prophetic renegade combination; actual, historic, Constitutional freedom and liberty is gone. Get in the way, the wheels of political machinery will crush you. You don't even need to actually get in the way. Just association can destroy you.
America, the great Western empire of freedom and liberty, the final empire of Bible prophecy, has become a shock to the world, no better than any pagan empire before it. The place where citizens must wear masks and get injected to keep their jobs but, illegal aliens by the tens of thousands, unto unknown millions, can just walk right in, year after year; untested, unvetted, carrying who knows what on them or inside them.
We are all sinners, prone to betraying sacred trusts. We all have our struggles, our fears and pains but, politicians... I would not give a nickel-plated copper quarter for any of them. They will just sell you out, if the price is right. They are all bought and paid for. None can be trusted to uphold their oaths.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen!
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

When it comes to an oath you swore to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic, it may be a reason but, it is no excuse.
Anybody who questions whether or not the USA is the second beast of Revelation 13 is asleep at the wheel.
America? It's gone and only something worse will replace it; whether its political, religious, or the coming prophetic renegade combination; actual, historic, Constitutional freedom and liberty is gone. Get in the way, the wheels of political machinery will crush you. You don't even need to actually get in the way. Just association can destroy you.
America, the great Western empire of freedom and liberty, the final empire of Bible prophecy, has become a shock to the world, no better than any pagan empire before it. The place where citizens must wear masks and get injected to keep their jobs but, illegal aliens by the tens of thousands, unto unknown millions, can just walk right in, year after year; untested, unvetted, carrying who knows what on them or inside them.
We are all sinners, prone to betraying sacred trusts. We all have our struggles, our fears and pains but, politicians... I would not give a nickel-plated copper quarter for any of them. They will just sell you out, if the price is right. They are all bought and paid for. None can be trusted to uphold their oaths.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen!
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

471. The Difference Between Rogan and Peters - January 7, 2022
Some follow-ups. You are probably aware of them already.
Ted Cruz... played his political odds wrong and stated things about January 6, 2021 that got him absolutely pummeled in Conservative media. Tucker Carlson had him on and Cruz attempted to undo what he said. Carlson was having none of it. Cruz got quite defensive, if not vociferous, and just continued to dig himself deeper into the hole he already dug for himself. At least, that's how I saw it. Cruz should have been done already, for actions before the 2020 election and after but, I'd imagine he is done, now. His only future rests on "Beto O'Rourke," or some other equally dangerous character. If O'Rourke runs again, against Cruz, people will not vote for Cruz but, against O'Rourke, to keep that radical, gun-grabbing Leftist out of national politics. If any strong Conservative (if there is such a thing in politics), primaries against Cruz, I'd imagine Cruz loses, big-time. He just cannot be trusted.
Red Voice Media, that carries the Stew Peters program, apologized to readers for comments made on one of his programs against the Gateway Pundit and one of its proprietors, by Peters and his guest. If you remember, I mentioned Peters program and was upset enough to check things out myself and saw that Peters was wrong. I don't watch Peters every day so, I don't know if Peters, himself, apologized for his comments. I just find such stuff worthless to fight evil, true evil, and saw it all the time amongst ministries trying to get a message out to the world and constantly fighting among themselves, incessantly. I walked away from it all. I have enough trouble dealing with myself and real enemies of truth and faith without dealing with lies and BS between people supposedly on the same team but, like all the independent ministries out there, all independent atoms, not part of any true association or body of organized marching towards Zion, independent news with no actual standard of conduct or message, also goes over deep ends and begin to assault each other. Nothing new under the sun.
That said, Peters had Dr. Robert Malone on again and it was a great segment. I use that word with due respect.

The difference between Joe Rogan's interview and Stew Peters is blatantly obvious. Rogan does not have half the knowledge Peters does about this event so his questions to Malone were almost naive and timid. Peters knows what he knows, and why he knows it, and wastes no time and just goes for it. It's not a style difference. It an information difference. Malone, for his part, has respect for both men. He mentioned on post interviews that Rogan was well-prepared to ask the medical questions. Peters has all that, and when it comes to the who, what, when, where, why and how of the matter, Peters, again, has information to just blast off with, literally. His opening monologue was so concise and powerful, Dr. Malone said it brought tears to his eyes. Then they had a tremendous interview where the good doctor was placed in positions of ability to answer tough questions in a way he would not answer the same kind of questions as in his interview with Rogan.
Knowledge truly is power. When we read that Jesus is the Way, the TRUTH, and the Life, that He IS the WORD of God in human form, the power of His daily existence drove people crazy or, into wonderment and joy. In just three and half years He shook the entire nation of Israel into a frenzy of taking sides on information. The same is true in every age.
Today, two sides exist. Well, three, if you count the undecideds, which always exist. The two greater sides are those who make decisions based on the weight of evidence, wherever it leads, and those who make decisions based on the weight of the bottom line: money or, guarding institutions, whatever they may be, which also involves money.
Policy versus principle. That has always been the great dividing line in every age. So it is now, and so it shall ever be, until Christ returns to demonstrate that principle means more than policy. Principles do not change. Policy always changes, adapted to address bottom lines.
This Covid event, as Dr. David Martin and others so ably and concisely point out, is an event based on paper trails, money and policies going back three decades, in particular, and really, are as old as the Father of lies. Those who care about truth and principle and evidence, data, information, see it. Those who just care about being led, because of fear, do not see it. They trust in the voices continually placed before them and just follow whatever they say without any critical thinking. Even Dr. Malone has mentioned numerous times, anyone saying anything about the World Economic Forum, the Great Reset/New World Order, to him, were just crazy conspiracy theorists. Now, he is living the results of that agenda, as he has been vilified and censored and shut down in every direction. Now, he sees it: he is experiencing it.
I once had a friend call me from a phone booth one evening, very upset. I studied the Bible with him. He was baptized and became an energetic member of the congregation I was a member of at the time. I was involved in presenting information on corruption in the denomination. It caused a fair amount of commotion, especially within the leadership, which were guarding the institution at all costs.
A meeting was held for the congregation I was a member of. I chose not to go. Even my mother came away from that meeting asking me what on Earth was I saying and doing?!? I then rehearsed for her the truth of the matter, and showed her the documentation, the full truth of personal letters I wrote, in context, and other truths covered up or rejected, and she reversed her thinking. I was lied about at the meeting but, it was done by the pastor, a seemingly decent fellow. Others in the congregation believed the lies of leaders about me. It was a hanging, without a body.
My friend who called me was very agitated and upset. I could hear he was literally shaking from what he experienced. Up to that time, he questioned things I spoke about. He could not bring himself to believe it UNTIL, he experienced it, himself. Everything he said at the meeting, every question was either shot down or quibbled about or just ignored. He EXPERIENCED the actions and attitudes of POLICY over PRINCIPLE. I wanted people to see it, so, I stayed away. I had my experience. I had nothing to defend. I have seen the same process work itself between people over and over and over again. It is always the same. Many said I should have been there to defend myself. Maybe the pastor would not have so boldly placed lies before the congregation. But, you see, my absence opened the way for his betrayal of sacred trust. It hurt, yes but, the most important thing was that a demarcation could be established.
At the end of time the final demarcation of people committed to truth and principle will stand against the side of lies and policy. Truth will guide and protect God's remnant people. The rest, the majority of the human race, will be held captive by lies and false wonders, designed to do so. The free versus the captive.
Covid is just a preview of what is coming. The elitists, as strong as they seem now, bent on world domination, will eventually fall away, as another top-tier threat takes takes it "healed" and final place against the government of God.
Remember, this is not a final battle between atheists and believers. No, no. This is a final battle between true believers and professed believers. Massive events and changes are coming to set the stage for the final events, which shall be rapid ones. Even the elitists will "believe." Hopefully, many will be truly converted. Some with the greatest hatred or disbelief in God will become His finest servants in what lies ahead. And some of those who have been mighty servants for the Lord will fall to deceptions and delusions.
Prepare. Ask God to know the truth, that it can and will make you free.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

472. Being Sincerely Wrong - January 8, 2022
Where's the Pope? I don't mean, where is he physically. Where is he at in this "vaccine" event? For a man who continually speaks about the downtrodden of the Earth, popes tend to miss things so obvious it is impossible to miss them. They don't miss them. They use them. They plan around them.
In looking at the Vatican news feed, Francis received a batch of new ambassadors. The Vatican is a nation, a state power, and every nation has an ambassador there, and likewise, the Vatican to each nation on Earth that participates. The Vatican is the only church organization that has such a role in world affairs; because the RCC is not just a church. It is the epitome of a union between church and state. Her flag flies in march of nations at any such event where a parade of flags is shown.
While Christ said His kingdom was not of this world, Francis is the sovereign of a kingdom on Earth. As such, his pronouncements are both religious and secular. He often tells the world that we must consider the "refugees." The "unvaccinated" are becoming refugees in their own nations, driven from jobs and activities available to anyone one else that has received the mandated number of injections to be part of the acceptable crowd. The very nature of such a thing is so repugnant to every concept of liberty, for the Pope to be silent about MILLIONS of adverse reactions to the injections can only be possible if the Vatican took a distinctive side in this event, and it has. Francis pleads for the "justice" for all to be vaccinated, the side of the elitist cabal pushing the vials of possible or definite debilitation and death. And that includes children. Adverse reactions in children!
Did you know the data shows almost no difference between those injected and those not injected getting the illness? The "vaccine" does not work. A 1% difference is not a rate of safety anyone should feel victorious about. When Dr. McCullough shared that data in his interview with Joe Rogan, I was not surprised, of course. All the other data shows negatives in all other categories. What began as a list of 27 adverse effects is now over 40, last I saw. How can the leader of the Roman Catholic Church impress upon over 1 BILLION members of his flock to take an injection of a fluid NO ONE outside Pharma companies actually knows the complete list of ingredients of, and has been shown to contain bizarre and mysterious pharmaceutical chattels, by researchers from at least seven nations?
In the Vatican news feed I saw a picture of parents presenting their baby to the Pope. The Pope is upset people have pets instead of children. He calls that selfish. I'd call that their business, not the Pope's but, "Papa" has the need for more and more Catholics to populate the Earth, as he sees the population of Islam increase by far greater numbers. Anyway, the two parents looked thrilled, the baby looked happy, the Pope is smiling, and the positions of Protestantism, protesting the doctrines of Romanism, would obviously be seen as an ugly madness. Yet, when I look at pictures of things inside St. Peter's basilica, I know I am looking at things that have zero to do with Jesus Christ and His spiritual kingdom within His sheep. Nay. Those pictures show a kingdom of man, so pompous and glorified, it can only be signs of apostasy. Those parents, proud and joyous as they are of their son, and their church, are in spiritual, prophetic Babylon.
I heard a short, little story once, many years ago, of a marksman on a shooting range: a long shooting range, for prospective military snipers. It was testing time. Each shooter took their positions, conducted their measurements of distances, wind speeds, temperature and all, took aim, and fired away. One particular marksman was quite thrilled with his performance. Bullseyes. He expected high praise. When his number came up and he heard "Zero!," he flipped out. He challenged his superior with strident protest. He hit bullseyes. His scope told him so! "You hit bullseyes, private," came the reply, "on the wrong target! Stand down!"
The private was sincere. He saw, what he saw. He was sincerely wrong. He shot at the target next to his line of fire. So close, and yet so far.
Sincerity is not necessarily truth. Let's face it, either Christianity is true, or Islam is true, or Judaism is true, or Buddhism is true, or no religion is true and atheism is true but, despite the sincerity of billions of adherents, they cannot all be true.
I believe biblical Christianity is true for very specific reasons. With them, I must believe the Papacy is not true. It is false. Despite all its sincere adherents, it is a false, man-made religion of apostasy from the truth, prophesied to be so by numerous Bible writers who wrote down what they saw and heard in visions or dreams or from actual events taking place in their day: centuries apart from each other. God tells the end, from the beginning. That is what He stands upon to prove He is God, the Creator and Sovereign of the universe. He tells the future with pinpoint accuracy.
I see people in the news marginalized because they refuse to be injected and they are medical professionals. Why would medical professionals, plus members and employees of the CDC, no less, and other medical organizations NOT take the injections? They'd rather get fired? Why? What do they know? They know the truth. They know what they are seeing in their respective hospitals and practices. They know what they are reading and watching from individuals speaking out. And yet, based on the evidence, they are vilified, they are marginalized, with the rest of humanity refusing injection. Both sides contain sincere adherents. Both sides cannot be correct. One side is sincerely wrong. From my point of view it is the side not willing to dialogue the issue, that claims it has the "experts" of "science" telling them it is safe and effective and necessary and woe to those who will not cooperate. And the Pope, Sovereign of Vatican State, has taken that side. Of course, so has Franklin Graham and other evangelical leaders. Franklin's ignorance of the truth is another face of the inadequacy of critical thinking in this world. Graham does a great deal of good with his ministries for the poor of this world. Stating Jesus would take the mRNA injection, when its patented inventor, Dr. Robert Malone, has been warning the world for over a year now, makes Jesus ignorant of truth. Impossible. Jesus IS THE TRUTH. He cannot be ignorant of it.
All these people using Jesus to lecture the world on what they should medically decide is a mockery of the principle of making choices, "line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little;" to gather information and make sound decisions. That is the choice of sovereign individuals, not leaders of religious organizations, nor medical organizations, nor political organizations, not ANY organizations, any person, or anything, period. God has given sovereignty to each individual over their own body and mind and health. That's it. No other entity has authority. Not Graham, not Francis, not Fauci, not Biden (God forbid), or anyone else.
The world, in growing darkness, is closing in on that individual right, that sovereignty, that truth and principle.
Evil is winning. Make no mistake about it. Darkness is covering the Earth. As far as the game board, evil is winning. As far as eternal reality, God wins. Truth wins. Liberty wins. His people win, in the end.
A rough ride is ahead.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

473. Fourth Catholic Priest Lays Out Great Reset - January 10, 2022
First there was Cardinal Raymond Burke, back in 2020, warning about the New Word Order and the deeper connections within the "pandemic."
Then Archbishop Carlo Vigano calling on all Christians to rise up against the "Great Reset."
Then LA Archbishop Jose' Gomez, proclaimed an elitist leadership class are working to remove Christianity from the world.
Now we have Catholic Priest, Frank Unterhalt, writing an article, loaded with references, on the Great Reset takeover.
https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/the-carefully-planned-step-by-step-guide-global-elites-are-using-to-implement-the-great-reset/
The article is spot on, near as I could tell. All of these men, part of a denomination, an actual nation - the Roman Catholic Church Vatican - coming forward to describe and warn of a movement that threatens their nation and all nations. As a Bible believing Protestant, believing as I do the prophetic scenarios laid out by Protestants since the 16th century, I have to wonder why current leadership of the evangelical churches are not rising up to state, if Rome is warning of something, Rome has a plan; what is Rome up to? These men are not in harmony with the current Pontiff, who just wants the whole world to get along, and nothing seems to be a sin anymore. And evangelicals love the guy. Francis has been confusing Catholics since he took office.
What do we have here? I am not saying each of the four men above are not sincerely concerned for satanic elements trying to gain control of the world but, that is nothing new. There have always been monsters trying to do that. I would say, Xi Jinping, China's leader, is among that lot. He just walks a less antagonistic line before the world, while persecuting any dissenters in his own land. China wants the world. The Vatican wants the world. The elitist, bankster cabal wants the world. A massive showdown is coming. I already know the Vatican comes out on top because Bible prophecy predicts it. That is what causes my focus upon Catholic prelates asking for the world Christian population to rise up with them to stop the cabal, while the Pope is playing footsie with the kings of the earth.
I have seen "Fatima" lined up with the pronouncements of these Catholic leaders. Fatima, the supposed appearance of "Mary" to three Portuguese children, back in 1917, came with prophecies of its own regarding terrible judgments coming upon the world, including a "civil war" of sorts, within the Catholic Church, itself. The event ended with a "miracle" of the sun. Drenching rain left 50-70,000 people at the site soaked to the bone. Something in the sky took place which dried everyone out. For me, of course, it was not Mary, it was Lucifer, the prince of the power of the air, who placed his "seat" in the RCC millennia ago: the great apostasy Paul warned of; leading to the rise of the man of sin. He has been sizing up for the final showdown of signs and wonders and "miracles" within a false "Christian" movement. Fatima was just the beginning.
Now, I realize many professed Christian ministries are looking at today's events and stating 666 is on the way. That's been happening for awhile now. They are incorrect, as I have laid out here in previous posts but, as so many have taken a stand FOR Trump, the vaccines, and all the rest of it, there are few voices putting all the pieces of the puzzle together as to what is really taking place. Their silence is deafening. The Hasidic Jew, Dr. Zev Zelenko, has been in the forefront of piecing this all together for almost two years now, while at the same time helping thousands of patients get over Covid with simple items, easily available. He has given so many interviews, the last one I watched, he was hoarse from so much speaking.
There are so many voices speaking out but... where are the leading voices of apostate Protestantism? Franklin Graham has stated Jesus would take the vaccine. He qualifies that Christ is God and wouldn't need to but, that is really beside the point raised. Graham is not putting the pieces of the Covid puzzle together. How is that?
Things are so backwards, its really strange. It was not that long ago, the 1980s, when evangelical voices were speaking out against the elitist powers of the world. The Eastern Communist Block and the USSR came down at the hands of the Vatican's influence in Europe and beyond. What newspaper or magazine did not make that plain at the time? I was excited to preach fulfillment of prophecy from the book of Daniel back then, and much more.
Today? Apostate Protestantism is just walking back into Mother's arms, not just coexisting without protest but, cooperating with her to make the world a 'better place,' ignorant of the history and facts of the aims of the Papacy. It is astounding to behold. Abortion was an issue both elements could join upon. Immorality, another. Both Mother and "daughters" have been drawing ever closer for almost one hundred years now, and actually, since events of the 19th century.
The time will come when Protestants "clasp hands" with Rome in such a way that their union will merge upon the powers of the state and make demands elected officials will see they have little choice but to cooperate with.
It is obvious enough, even now, that atheist groups are speaking out about it. They see it. Apostate Protestants do not.
Things are rapidly changing. Overmastering delusions are coming to deceive, if possible, even the very elect.
"Babylon is fallen, is fallen." "Come out of her, My people."
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
Then Archbishop Carlo Vigano calling on all Christians to rise up against the "Great Reset."
Then LA Archbishop Jose' Gomez, proclaimed an elitist leadership class are working to remove Christianity from the world.
Now we have Catholic Priest, Frank Unterhalt, writing an article, loaded with references, on the Great Reset takeover.
https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/the-carefully-planned-step-by-step-guide-global-elites-are-using-to-implement-the-great-reset/
The article is spot on, near as I could tell. All of these men, part of a denomination, an actual nation - the Roman Catholic Church Vatican - coming forward to describe and warn of a movement that threatens their nation and all nations. As a Bible believing Protestant, believing as I do the prophetic scenarios laid out by Protestants since the 16th century, I have to wonder why current leadership of the evangelical churches are not rising up to state, if Rome is warning of something, Rome has a plan; what is Rome up to? These men are not in harmony with the current Pontiff, who just wants the whole world to get along, and nothing seems to be a sin anymore. And evangelicals love the guy. Francis has been confusing Catholics since he took office.
What do we have here? I am not saying each of the four men above are not sincerely concerned for satanic elements trying to gain control of the world but, that is nothing new. There have always been monsters trying to do that. I would say, Xi Jinping, China's leader, is among that lot. He just walks a less antagonistic line before the world, while persecuting any dissenters in his own land. China wants the world. The Vatican wants the world. The elitist, bankster cabal wants the world. A massive showdown is coming. I already know the Vatican comes out on top because Bible prophecy predicts it. That is what causes my focus upon Catholic prelates asking for the world Christian population to rise up with them to stop the cabal, while the Pope is playing footsie with the kings of the earth.
I have seen "Fatima" lined up with the pronouncements of these Catholic leaders. Fatima, the supposed appearance of "Mary" to three Portuguese children, back in 1917, came with prophecies of its own regarding terrible judgments coming upon the world, including a "civil war" of sorts, within the Catholic Church, itself. The event ended with a "miracle" of the sun. Drenching rain left 50-70,000 people at the site soaked to the bone. Something in the sky took place which dried everyone out.

474. I'm Embarrassed to be French - January 10, 2022
Yep, I'm 100% French, both sides of the family. I've mentioned that before. French Roman Catholic background; France to Canada to Rhode Island, where the clans are located. My parents moved to Connecticut shortly before I was born.
I've always been fine with my French heritage. Emmanuel Macron is changing that.
Like all Euro nations, they all have their good and bad eras, with good leaders and despots coming and going.
Something about President Macron seems to tip that scale for me. I could as easily say Macron is an embarrassment to France. Especially seeing as a rabid Leftist elitist of the 21st century, while allowing "migrants" from anywhere storm into his nation and literally terrorize French citizens, doing nothing about it, he has the absolute audacity and brazenness to state that any citizen not injected is not a citizen of France.
“When my liberty becomes a threat to the liberty of others, I become an irresponsible individual,” he added. “An irresponsible individual is no longer a citizen.”
When I first commented on this, that statement was not in any of the articles I read. Bad enough he said he wanted to "piss off" French citizens, approximately 5 million of them who refuse to get injected with the experimental gene therapy fluid; to which those citizens promptly relied, "Wait and see how we continue to piss you off."
Unless the statement noted was incorrectly translated (I tried finding a full text of his interview in English, or even French and translate it using Google translate), anyone refusing to be injected because they have God given liberty and freedom to make such choices for their health; while it may be assumed, and certainly NOT proven, they may threaten someone else's health, (and studies show the opposite is true, with the "shedding" the "vaccinated" are potentially liable for), they have no effect on anyone else's liberty. Others are free to get injected and have. Maybe I'm wrong but, are murderers in French prisons no longer citizens? Do they automatically lose their citizenship when they become a threat to their countrymen? If murderers are still citizens but, the "unvaxxed" are not, an absolute mentally unstable man is leading France over a cliff of no return.
Like all these elitist, Draconian Leftists around the world, they allow hundreds of thousands to millions of people into their nations without any, ANY vetting or testing, and that is okay with them. Citizens who make a choice, an intelligent choice, to allow natural immunity and/ or simple remedies to keep them healthy either before, during or after getting the virus, they are vilified and denounced, and their citizenship questioned? Seriously? Sorry, not sorry, only an idiot would draw such a conclusion and run a nation that way. Ah but, Macron is not an idiot, well, maybe but, for the sake of discussion, his attitude towards the 'unvaxxed' is part of "the plan." Pissing off the unvaxxed; "that's the plan," he said in the interview.
My being French has no affect on my life at all, living in America. I do feel sorry for French citizens having such a political buffoon for a leader; literally destroying their nation in front of their eyes. Well, the same is happening in America, Canada, and all nations where Leftists are in control. It's like Leftists live to destroy anything that leads to any kind of peace, prosperity, harmony, tranquility or common sense government. Well, you see, they are of their father, the devil, who did exactly the same thing in Heaven. The 'mystery of iniquity' began with him, in him; the lofted angel; highest of God's created creatures. He just could not stand his position any longer and began disturbing the peace and harmony with dissension and sophistries, and ultimately bringing about war in Heaven. He and the rebel angels who sided with him got thrown out of Heaven and were expelled to Earth at the crucifixion of Christ, Rev. 12:1-17.
Revelation 12 is an abbreviated history of the Christian church. Satan hates God and hates those who love God. Actually, he hates everybody. There is no love in him. Well, that's not exactly true. He loves himself; thinks very highly of himself: "I would be like the Most High." It shall ultimately destroy him. Before that happens, Lucifer must, he is driven to destroy anything and everything around him. That's what Leftists do. They cannot leave peace alone. They must agitate and ruin people who think a different way. They must lie about them, or ruin them, marginalize them, separate them from their society because they hate them. Macron hates citizens who disagree with his pompous authority trip. He is not a servant. He's a totalitarian devil in a suit.
Of course I know such hypocrisy exists in professed Christianity. Jesus saw it in His day and proclaimed it would exist right to the end of time. Thankfully not all hypocrites are in all positions of all authority.
I hope France survives. France, like Italy, and Spain, and Greece for that matter, rejected the Reformation. They all had potent reform movements and preachers of righteousness but, Catholicism remained the major religious influence both spiritually and politically. In Greece its the Orthodox traditions. Today, France, like most of Europe, is generally secular-minded, agnostic, atheist and dead to truth as it is in Jesus. That will change, of course, when the false revival sweeps the world but, right now, the French are stuck with this globalist hypocrite.
Did anyone think the time would come when your citizenship would be based on your decision to get injected by a "vaccine?" Actually, some did. Some have watched this globalist, totalitarian movement very closely and tried to warn the world for decades. And here we are.
If those claiming those injected will all end up with AIDS - Auto-Immune Deficiency Syndrome - are correct, billions will begin dying and succumb to a host of illnesses they'll have no immune system to protect them from. The horror that awaits is unfathomable. I hope they are wrong. Very wrong.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

475. Fomenting Civil War - January 11, 2022
I had been under the mistaken belief that the National Guard is under the control of state governors. Well it is but, the President has ultimate control. When Governor Ron DeSantis, of Florida, wants to put into action a process to develop Florida's own State Guard, not under a president's control, a scenario instantly comes to mind: civil war.
While I have seen civil war or, at the very least, civil insurrection taking place in America, I have been against it because there is no way citizens can fight a war against today's heavily armed police forces nor certainly against the Armed Forces. No kind of guerilla warfare could overcome the firepower.
There are those who say the police and military forces would, first, be divided because far too many soldiers would never fire upon American citizens. I used to believe that. Look at the numbers of soldiers unwilling to take the Covid injections, though. Very small number. I'd say it would be equal to those who would not fire upon American citizens by the time all the propaganda war and disinformation of "enemies" of America within were pumped upon military forces day in, day out. The vilification of "rebel" citizens be news cycles 24/7, just the way it has been for those citizens who protested the 2020 election and government corruption last January 6. They have been branded "insurrectionists." A total misrepresentation fortified by lies. Even now that the lies have been exposed, those hundreds of arrested people remain in jails with no court dates yet. In America? Yes. A totally corrupt American government at the helm showing the free world how its done, Baby.
The Federal government has been out of control for decades now; growing ever more pompous and dangerous to the principles of Americanism. Today... well, anyone who cannot see the Federal government as the enemy of the Constitution its elected civil servants swear oaths to protect, are wearing main stream news cycle blinders.
If Ron DeSantis remains governor long enough to actually put together a State Guard; a militarized State Guard - to some degree because the Florida state budget could never fortify the State Guard with the same weaponry and tech the Federal military has at its disposal - how would that work? Invasion from sea? What about land? Well, you say, who would invade by land? Well, look at Australia using its military to round up aboriginal peoples refusing to get vaccinated. What if it came to that in America, state by state? If the Supreme Court does not strike down Biden's injection mandates, does anyone think the regime will not go postal and see to it every single American gets implanted with these literal bioweapon fluids? What then? DeSantis says, "No. We will not enforce a Federal mandate on injections." So, National Guard troops engage in conflict with State Guard troops? That seems impossible in America? Remember Antifa? Remember a corrupt FBI? Remember legions of radical Leftist agitators? Imagining the first shot being fired is no stretch, whatsoever. Once its fired and all hell breaks loose and the horses are out of the barn...
It must never be forgotten power corrupts and absolute power corrupts, absolutely. There is no stopping point for madness. There is no stop sign in front of people who believe they own the road. So, do we then have a civil war erupting at the borders of Florida? People also forget that elected civil servants these days, get elected by mere thousands, tens of thousands of votes statewide, in states where millions live. There is always a large proportion of people against the incumbents. They generally work as hard as they can to do all they can to ruin the work of any incumbent they disagree with; and when it comes to Leftists, nobody works harder than them to bring down those who disagree with them. They have no moral standard, no guidelines, no source of authority so, they lie, cheat, steal, do whatever they have to, to win. Yes, I mean that across the boards. I also mean that hard left. Center Left citizens watch, far more than they participate. But, the Democrat Party has come to see that all they need are some hard-liners, young hard-liners, to develop insurmountable energy to do the corrupt party's bidding. The GOP does not have that kind of support. Trump showed an individual can have that kind of support. The GOP is just as corrupt as the Democrats but, they don't have the core or base to be as godless and corrupt as they are.
Corruption breeds more corruption. Biden is mentally impaired; that can used to block just about all criticism of his actions. It will wear out soon enough, as his health declines but, for now, "never let a crisis go to waste," especially if a crisis is created, which Covid was and continues to be.
If the American federal government goes lunatic and mandates injections for all, there will be civil disturbance, civil unrest, and more than likely, civil war of some sort. I'd guess that is exactly what Democrats and even the GOP wants. Bring it to them, hype it, wipe them out, problem solved, we get to rule as we decide, Civil War 2.0 over and done, mission accomplished, now everybody sit down and shut up.
That's history, Dear Reader. That's how it's done, over and over throughout human history. Create the problem, provide the remedy, get to be top dog.
Why are Democrat run cities and states attempting to change criminal codes and releasing felons all over the place? I have even seen political cartoons about this happening. Reasonable conclusions can be drawn that elements are being placed on the streets of America to foment more disturbance and unrest and use it all to control a narrative exactly like the situation used to turn a peaceful protest on January 6, 2021 into a corrupt police state false-flag operation. Until Capitol Police started to man-handle women, including senior citizens present, and children, the protest was peaceful. Once the flash grenades started going off, once the FBI infiltrators went to work, things were peaceful. Boisterous but, peaceful. It was no insurrection by any stretch of imagination, unless the definition of 'insurrection' is changed and hey, if you can change the definition of "vaccine" to suit the occasion, why not change the definition of any word to suit your agenda?
Have we forgotten how D.C. was fenced and circled with National Guard troops? The political theater was over the top, if not nauseating. These people know no bounds. Nothing is more important and will not be done to gain TOTAL CONTROL of America. I truly believe that. And unfortunately, too many Americans are too mind-numbed by television and other activities to see what is happening right in front of them. Still, 50% of Americans trust main stream media and news outlets. That is depressing, in and of itself.
It must also be remembered, it is a minority of people speaking out from the medical community on what these "vaccine" vials of death are doing, and these top professionals in their fields are being attacked and threatened with losing their medical licenses if they do not cease and desist. A tiny minority. What does that tell us? It tells us the majority of all categories of professionals, in all aspects of American life are on the side of corruption. Do you get that? The Federal, state, local governments, education systems, medical institutions, all major media outlets and sources, the vast network of fabric that makes up America is basically on the side of corruption. Every virus variant is used to fear monger, and more people are heading for their injections, than rising up against them. A third of Americans are holding strong. If SCOTUS sides with the State and mandates are allowed, even though they obviously violate the Nuremberg Code and other such principles, what stops the Federal government from using National Guard troops to see to it every house is visited, and every member of every household is injected? America is hardly America anymore. Nothing is off the table. They are injecting children! They want to inject babies! They are lunatics.
No, we are not there yet. That is not the point. Nothing is there yet, until it IS THERE at some point. Evil does not stop. Evil endlessly marches. It gets there, sooner or later, if not held in check.
Patriots cannot win a civil confrontation of arms. Only God can have such a victory and patriots must be appealing to God to save America or America is toast.
I read in the last week that Pfizer put one million dollars into Trump's inauguration. So, there you go. Then, this morning, I watched this:
https://verumetinventa.wordpress.com/2021/08/26/robert-kennedy-jr-trump-took-1-million-from-pfizer/
Trump cannot save America. He never could. No podcaster can save America, nor any group of them together. No doctors can. Nobody can. Not unless God decides to use them in some marvelous way, like a Deborah or Jonathan. While that is always possible, it remains to be seen if God would choose that route.
I believe it is important and the duty lies upon all Americans to save America by pen and voice and actions. Freedom and liberty are granted by God. The longer they are preserved, the better for our children and grandchildren.
If Americans are not vigilant, America will fall. Nothing can prevent it.
While I have seen civil war or, at the very least, civil insurrection taking place in America, I have been against it because there is no way citizens can fight a war against today's heavily armed police forces nor certainly against the Armed Forces.

Nothing is more important and will not be done to gain TOTAL CONTROL of America. I truly believe that. And unfortunately, too many Americans are too mind-numbed by television and other activities to see what is happening right in front of them. Still, 50% of Americans trust main stream media and news outlets. That is depressing, in and of itself.
It must also be remembered, it is a minority of people speaking out from the medical community on what these "vaccine" vials of death are doing, and these top professionals in their fields are being attacked and threatened with losing their medical licenses if they do not cease and desist. A tiny minority. What does that tell us? It tells us the majority of all categories of professionals, in all aspects of American life are on the side of corruption. Do you get that? The Federal, state, local governments, education systems, medical institutions, all major media outlets and sources, the vast network of fabric that makes up America is basically on the side of corruption. Every virus variant is used to fear monger, and more people are heading for their injections, than rising up against them. A third of Americans are holding strong. If SCOTUS sides with the State and mandates are allowed, even though they obviously violate the Nuremberg Code and other such principles, what stops the Federal government from using National Guard troops to see to it every house is visited, and every member of every household is injected? America is hardly America anymore. Nothing is off the table. They are injecting children! They want to inject babies! They are lunatics.
No, we are not there yet. That is not the point. Nothing is there yet, until it IS THERE at some point. Evil does not stop. Evil endlessly marches. It gets there, sooner or later, if not held in check.
Patriots cannot win a civil confrontation of arms. Only God can have such a victory and patriots must be appealing to God to save America or America is toast.
I read in the last week that Pfizer put one million dollars into Trump's inauguration. So, there you go. Then, this morning, I watched this:
https://verumetinventa.wordpress.com/2021/08/26/robert-kennedy-jr-trump-took-1-million-from-pfizer/
Trump cannot save America. He never could. No podcaster can save America, nor any group of them together. No doctors can. Nobody can. Not unless God decides to use them in some marvelous way, like a Deborah or Jonathan. While that is always possible, it remains to be seen if God would choose that route.
I believe it is important and the duty lies upon all Americans to save America by pen and voice and actions. Freedom and liberty are granted by God. The longer they are preserved, the better for our children and grandchildren.
If Americans are not vigilant, America will fall. Nothing can prevent it.
A Perfect Example
When I write of radical Leftists saying and doing anything to gain control of a narrative, here's a perfect example.
https://summit.news/2022/01/11/la-times-columnist-says-mocking-anti-vaxxers-deaths-is-necessary/
"As Chris Menahan notes, the URL of the original article suggests the first headline was even worse and that it was subsequently changed by an editor.
"The first incarnation was called ‘Why Shouldn’t We Dance On The Graves of Anti-Vaxxers?’"
Reading Paul Joseph Watson is usually as strong, hyperbolic and sarcastic Right as you can get. In this case, he's almost too incredulous to go there and just lays out the case.
Do you know of any public figure on the Right mocking the death of anyone, let alone a Leftist dead from Covid complications? I don't. Death is tragic for families and friends and co-workers and neighbors. The Bible says death is the final enemy to be defeated.
So, the idea of mocking anyone who takes a position against any narrative is pretty disgusting. For a radical Leftist writer at the LA Times to mock the death of someone who protested lockdowns and vaccine mandates is beyond reprehensible, and to actually put the column out there to begin with, for public consumption, is just a display of Leftist lunacy and the lengths they go to. Nothing is off the table for them. The only things off the table are what few things left that remain sacrosanct, and apparently mocking dead people no longer is, and adding to that; its necessity for the good of the community. Seriously? Apparently, Yes.
Leftists are mentally deranged. They just are. Somehow, some way, they got warped. They have no filters, they have no souls (and I don't mean invisible entities living inside bodies, that get out at death).
I feel sorry for people who believe it is necessary to segregate society into the vaxxed and the unvaxxed. They are dangerous by default. Kamala Harris compares the protest last January 6, to 9/11! When was the last time Harris said a word about female genital mutilation? These people are the living epitome of inflating a balloon of exaggerations into a blimp of deceitfulness. And she is hardly alone. Leftists from every quarter have compared those patriots protesting government corruption with militant Islamic terrorists, except, they leave out militant Islamist.
Have mercy, what will they do if and when the vaxxed begin dropping like Autumn leaves, having disregarded all the warnings and pleadings? God help them. God have mercy on them, and all of us caught in this nightmare by man's design.

Another Last UPDATE
I know, I know. I stated awhile back this is the last update I'd share on the Covid tyrannical takeover. I just know circumstances can send people to this website for the first time and see these posts. Makes me think I should have listed them in reverse, newest first. Maybe I'll change them around that way.
I did not see this in a news feed, at a website. I was sent this in an email. Every person on Earth should watch the first 20 minutes of this video. The rest is just as jaw dropping.
Dr. Peter McCullough, getting stronger, more convicted, more precise and bringing the data into the discussion, presents current vital information of the Covid event; virus and vaccines.
The video may not last long on Vimeo, all things considered.
https://vimeo.com/664495314/18175305ba
I just received another email with a link to the entire series of interviews with a host of guests listed:
https://www.thecompleteguidetohealth.com/
Looking at the side margin subjects it may be the most saturated info-site on COVID available.
As long as I'm enclosing links to supersites, here's another, even called, The Rabbit Hole, associated with Mikki Willis, producer of the first warning video about the Covid event, Plandemic, seen by 1 billion people so far.

476. Microchips. Why Sweden? - January 13, 2022
I find this curious.
Sweden was the poster nation for not going hysterical with lockdowns. Sweden proved to the world Covid was not the death knell for planet Earth... well, at least as far as people dying from the virus. The entire event is meant to bring the world under the domain of "controllers."
So, why would a company in Sweden roll out a rice-sized microchip that can be used as a medical passport? Sweden proved to the world "vaccines" for Covid-19 are not even necessary. If they were actually "vaccines" perhaps the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions that weaken immune systems might get one. Anyone under 50? Unnecessary.
The CEO of the start-up company, Epicenter, tells the world, It's coming whether we like it or not. That's either really cryptic or seriously haughty for a start-up company CEO to proclaim. He's right, of course, if the world citizenry does not backlash this thing right now and say, Not happening. A start-up company taking the entire world by storm? Please. Common sense tells us the biggest money flows on Earth are behind this. It is all part of the plan. "Conspiracy theory?" Not anymore. They are just putting it out there; that's how confident they are that the fearmongering and propaganda programs have worked.
People are apparently lining up to get these chips implanted in their wrists. When the checking device hones in, it lights up under the skin. Perhaps it is just foolish young people wanting to look cool and be the first to have it.
EVERYTHING... EVERYTHING citizens of Sweden do will be tracked by such nano-computers. Anyone who thinks this chip will only be used for tracking vax status is simply mind-numbed. Even the company states they can be used "for all kinds of things."
First, having such a device IN YOU might have all kinds of negative effects. Look what RF devices cause being OUTSIDE people. The effects may not be seen right off. It may take awhile but, the negative effects will show up sooner or later, person to person. Think of having a Debit Card inside you. That is literally what people are using them for, buying. Just swipe your hand across the scanner, voila!
News reports state 6,000 people have had them implanted.
American backlash has been instant but, those are comments from the Right. And, as usual, "Mark of the Beast" commentary is popping up all over the place; Rev 13:16-18, etc. Having already addressed that at length, expect to see more and more of it. True, technology certainly goes into controlling buying and selling for a planetary population but, technology has nothing to do with the mark of the beast, because technology has nothing to do with the beast, the mark, or the number of a man's name at the head of the beast power.
The Beast/AntiChrist power - The Roman Catholic Church/Papacy/Vatican.
The Mark of the Beast - Sunday/National Legislation of the first day of the week, then international laws.
666 - In Roman Numerals (as well as various other number/letter systems, such as Greek), 666 is tied to a title used for centuries for the popes - Vicarius Filii Dei = Vicar of the Son of God. Vicar = In place of. AnteChristos = "In place of Christ." Vicarius Christi is a term John Paul 2 used for himself in his own book, Crossing the Threshold of Hope. In place of, in the stead of Christ. Nothing could be more simple. No tech needed. No tech used. Just the pomposity of "the man of sin," "the son of perdition" who exalts himself above all humanity.
Pope Leo XIII (and dozens of other pontiffs down through history), has made it so obvious:
"We hold upon this Earth the place of God Almighty."
No, they do not. But, they think they do. As do hundreds of millions of faithful Roman Catholics and more and more, professed Protestants continue to drift back to Mother. Some years back, a prelate of the Episcopal Church declared "What do we have to do to come home." Many see the Episcopal Church as Catholic Lite, and that is true, for all intents and purposes. But, when evangelicals cozy up to Rome, that is another matter, amnd that has been happening since the administration and work of JP2.
It is fascinating to see such an ancient premise be brought into the 21st century. We live in an age when "knowledge shall increase," and it has, exponentially. Mankind now knows more from the last decade than in all human history. It thinks it is smarter than God.
Convenience is part of the downfall of the human race. Access to information is so easy it would absolutely shock and astound people living 100 years ago. For the sake of convenience mankind is exposing itself to dangers no other era in human history has known. Fascinating, indeed.
Like debit cards, which are now universal, micro chips will get there, too. At some point, depending on how things go, my generation will die off, with its warnings. So will the next, and the younger generations now being born will find themselves in a totally tech-controlled world. The Totalitarians have this mapped out for 2030, and in some cases, 2025. That's well within my generation. The push is on. Predicting a backlash to it all is easy. Time will weaken resolve, though, as it always does.
Then there shall be the shock waves of death being predicted because of the injection and materials within them. Blood clotting. Massive amounts of stroke and heart attacks. An explosion of cancers. A planetary demise of neurological control. A sick, threatened, frightened world will reach for anything to stay alive.
Convenience is the carrot on the stick, held out before humanity. At some point, a grain of rice in the form of nanotechnology will be the answer to everything in regards to health. A 24/7 tiny dynamo able to ward off every invader and bring in Utopia. The slavery of mankind awaits.
The menace of evil never weakens. Power and control are intoxicating. A lot of old guys in the cabal are going to die and be replaced by young masters of money and merchandising, with far more energy to commit to the totalitarian plan.
The Vatican also has plans. The Vatican shall come out on top. Watch for it. Bible prophecy is never wrong.
God has plans, too, and the Sovereign of the universe comes out on top of it all.
Amen.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

477. New Documentary Las Vegas Shooting - January 13, 2022
It seems impossible to believe that horrific evening took place over four years ago, Oct. 1, 2017. Literally multiplied dozens of serious questions remain, totally unanswered by the LVPD. It seemed anybody and everybody with an IQ knew then and know now the "official" story was complete BS.
I never heard of Mindy Robinson until tonight. She has produced a new documentary on the event. She has put together an infinitesimal investigation and asks more questions than she makes statements; all of them unanswered. Watching just the first 40 minutes proves the official story is impossible. Not just improbable but, impossible.
https://www.jeffdornik.com/post/mindy-robinson-s-new-documentary-on-the-las-vegas-shooting-drops-the-truth-may-shock-you
I watched all kinds of videos after the attack. Fifty-eight dead, hundreds wounded, supposedly at the hands of one man. Nay. Not possible. I knew that then, based on the evidence. This documentary puts it all in concrete. Two hours and sixteen minutes of real time expose' and evidence.
Back in the 1990s I did a prophecy seminar in West Haven, CT. It was a memorable time for multiple reasons. A guy who attended the meetings told me one evening he believed the Kennedy assassination changed America and it has never been the same.
That day, and events since that day, show Americans their own government is a collection of seriously dangerous elements run by unbridled evil. Every war since then, Waco, 9/11, Covid and everything in between, including the Las Vegas massacre, tell us wickedness lives in Washington, D.C. and filters throughout the nation.
Deep State now targets Americans who believe the government; politicians, agencies, all of it, cannot be trusted. Americans want to trust their elected representatives. They want to believe their government cares about their life, liberty and pursuits of happiness BUT, far too many events, with contrary evidence to "official" stories existing, makes such trust impossible.
Watching this documentary will not do anything to uplift your trust. It will cause outrage at how life means little to nothing to powers in control, gaining more power every year, abusing authority and the rule of law, and making the lives of Americans miserable, BY DESIGN.
If I did not believe in God, having experienced Christ in my life, and know the Bible is alive, true, trustworthy, and offers hope, I'd have none. I'd be finishing out my life wondering what it was all for. Evil is pressing in; unrelenting, oppressive and in our face.
The citizens of Las Vegas... no protests, no demands for truth. They all know they have been lied to. I heard a radio talk-show host ask the question today, Are people tired of being Americans? I was done out in the shop and went about my day and did not hear any callers but, I'd say, YES. Americans are tired of being American because they see it is all for nothing. America has become corrupt at every level. You can scream, you can protest and they will not listen. They don't care. Rather, they will false flag you to prison. They hate patriotism. It offends them. They only care about power.
Well, look, the whole world is dying. It is. Christ said it would grow old like a garment. The threads can no longer hold together. Things are disintegrating.
At some point I figure some things are going to happen now. A demise of world population and totalitarian control of what's left. A false religious revival. The arrival of "ET," a la Satan. Perhaps another world war that basically ruins the planet and leaves only patchworks of survivors, that God will continue the Gospel with. Some combination and level of all the above.
I don't care what transpires. I know, ultimately, Christ WILL return. There will be a resurrection of the righteous from down through the ages. They will be given immortality and taken to Heaven and eternal life shall begin. It cannot be held off forever because the coin in the funnel is spinning ever faster. It will zip through the hole and the end of the world is going to take place and this madhouse is coming to an expected conclusion.
Nothing can stop the kingdom of Heaven from taking control of Earth and bringing back everlasting life. Nothing can stop the return of Christ. It may be delayed. It cannot be held back much longer. Two classes are naturally developing. When they are completely divided and the demarcation plain, Christ shall come.
A Psalm of Asaph. The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah. Psalm 50:1-6

The Satan Club, for Children
Every morning it seems I come face to face with something more weird, more outrageous, and... well, more satanic happening in this nation and in the world. It's to be expected, all things considered but, it still causes a serious pause.
https://www.infowars.com/posts/parents-horrified-as-school-hosts-satan-club-for-children/
So, the rub is crucial. Courts have decided, over and over, schools must allow religious clubs, as long as they offer no guidance or instruction for them: Bible clubs and such. Rooms, yes. Professionally paid government overseers/instructors, no.
The Church of Satan claims it's a religion, that has no deity or actual figure they worship. Satan, say they, is just a mythical figure that represents human freedom - whatsoever thou wilt. The 'do whatever you want' philosophy has always been and will always be a train wreck. Society cannot function without restraints and standards placed upon it. The rule of law, generating from an authoritative source higher than mankind has been the standard for all civilizations.
Of course, mankind is corrupt. It can be incredibly cruel to its fellow man. That's the effect of iniquity, transgression and sin. It has existed since Eve blamed the serpent and Adam blamed God, and Cain killed his brother Abel and will exist until Christ shatters the corruption of this world with His return. "Self" is the destruction of all that is stable and good. The religion of me, myself and I, will reduce western civilization of nothing, literally.
The French Revolution revolted against religious influence, especially as promulgated by a corrupt Church. A prostitute was chosen to represent the 'goddess of reason.' Heads came off a reported hundreds, if not thousands of priests throughout France, as well as the secular/professed religious aristocracy. In less than four years the entire philosophy was voted down by the French legislature, and thrown out by a society in total chaos.
Why do you think God states in His word, "Come, let us reason together." If people leave God out, reason goes with it.
Satanists call themselves a society of reason. No need for any superstitions, like God. Been there, done that. The French Revolution was a protest against superstition. They did not realize it but, it was actually a war against the corruption of faith, the perversion of faith; man-made hypocrisies and control.
Real faith is quite reasonable. True religion is and always has been a blessing to humanity. Why is Christianity so vilified in the West, now? Reason? No. Lack of reason.
Anyone who thinks children will be better off casting off the standards that have held civilization together for millennia, and thinking there is nothing and no one they will some day be accountable and responsible to, are watering seeds of chaos, guided by anything BUT, a mythical figure. Nay. An actual figure, a supernatural figure bent on the destruction of civilization and frankly, just look at civilization today. Where is life not made worse where secularism is in control? The godless can ONLY make things worse. It is impossible to make things better by removing faith in the Creator. The Founders of America knew that. Generations of citizens of America have known that.
Nobody argues hypocrisy exists. That makes a mess of things, too. Of course it does. That is not a sound reason to throw out the baby with the bathwater. Even atheists like Richard Dawkins realize an honest Christian society makes society better. He may think we are all crazy but, he cannot deny the order of a Judeo/Christian culture and civilization the West is built upon.
Teaching children any idea of Satan is harmless, is stupidity on parade. Worse; teaching children 'self' is the policy one should be guided by in life is the death knell of a civilization.
Welcome to the end of Western civilization.

So, the rub is crucial. Courts have decided, over and over, schools must allow religious clubs, as long as they offer no guidance or instruction for them: Bible clubs and such. Rooms, yes. Professionally paid government overseers/instructors, no.
The Church of Satan claims it's a religion, that has no deity or actual figure they worship. Satan, say they, is just a mythical figure that represents human freedom - whatsoever thou wilt. The 'do whatever you want' philosophy has always been and will always be a train wreck. Society cannot function without restraints and standards placed upon it. The rule of law, generating from an authoritative source higher than mankind has been the standard for all civilizations.
Of course, mankind is corrupt. It can be incredibly cruel to its fellow man. That's the effect of iniquity, transgression and sin. It has existed since Eve blamed the serpent and Adam blamed God, and Cain killed his brother Abel and will exist until Christ shatters the corruption of this world with His return. "Self" is the destruction of all that is stable and good. The religion of me, myself and I, will reduce western civilization of nothing, literally.
The French Revolution revolted against religious influence, especially as promulgated by a corrupt Church. A prostitute was chosen to represent the 'goddess of reason.' Heads came off a reported hundreds, if not thousands of priests throughout France, as well as the secular/professed religious aristocracy. In less than four years the entire philosophy was voted down by the French legislature, and thrown out by a society in total chaos.

478. The Freedom From Religion Foundation - January 14, 2022
Ignorance is not bliss.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation is an ignorant outfit if ever there was one. Yes, I am being that blunt.
I don't care of judges have sided with their ignorance, either. There are plenty of ignorant, activist judges in America, too.
They mean well; self-styled protectors of American life and liberty. They are ignorant, nonetheless. Or worse; they are evil. There is no other conclusion I can make, and I do not care what levels of education their leaders have amassed. I do care how successful they have been in removing American history from the fabric of society. Especially given they only have 35,000 members. I would not be surprised if they are funded by George Soros. Lawsuits cost a lot of money. Soros provides a lot of it for these radical Leftist organizations.
First - Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, nor prohibit the free exercise thereof.
Second, the Cross is not solely a Christian symbol, and predates the Christian religion by thousands of years. It has been and still is, in some cultures, a universal symbol of the sun. Look it up.
Third, the Bible is not solely a Christian book, obviously. How that is lost on the FFRF is lost on me. The vast majority of the book was written about the history of the Hebrew nation and Jewish people. How many people would the FFRF like to count who live by the Golden Rule and make no claim to Jesus Christ or Christianity?
Fourth, the history of America is Judeo/Christian, and the Founders agreed; while there should be a separation of church and state, there should NOT be a separation of God from state, and there is a HUGE DIFFERENCE.
Church organizations/denominations are man-made. God is not, obviously, and His sovereignty is absolute and the Founders understood America would not even exist were it not for the blessings and protections of the Creator.
So, how is it the FFRF cannot understand these basic principles and must constantly go after anything that has to do with religion and the state, which has zip to do with laws made by Congress or lower bodies of governance, that attempt to force everybody to worship or respond a certain way?
At issue this time is the seal of St. Francois County, MO. Their Great Seal states *In God We Trust,* has an eagle, the American flag, a pick and shovel, a cross and Bible, a portion of a Missouri map, and "Since 1821."
The FFRF has decided to take great exception to the cross and Bible. They claim they're establishments of religion, prohibited by the first amendment. Where's the law that forces people to worship or respond in a certain way? The seal is an expression of the founders of the county, not a law demanding adherence to an establishment of religion.
https://ffrf.org/news/news-releases/item/40296-remove-christian-bible-from-county-seal-ffrf-tells-mo-county
There are things in that article that are point blank wrong.
Now, historically, the God the Founders believed blessed them in starting this nation is the God of the Bible. While I do not endorse the use of the cross to express the full nature of the Christian religion, Christ is the Son of God; the God of the Bible, and the Son died on a cross for mankind. It does not matter if everyone believes that. That is part of the historical nature of America, and the mindset of the founders of St. Francois county.
It seems it should be consistent that the FFRF would go after the name of the county, as well. It's an establishment of the Roman Catholic religion, after all; one of their "saints." It should be changed, if they are remaining consistent.
Trying to unhitch the Bible from a desire to express what brought the county into existence back in 1821 is an insult to those who who had faith in a Creator and Sustainer of life. The FFRF does not care who they insult. They are insulted by the Great Seal of St. Francois County. They want the Bible and cross removed. They claim it does not represent all the people who live there. Then they are people ignorant of American history and the history of St. Francois County. Are they not free and at liberty to live elsewhere, in a county with a seal more to their liking?
Let's go farther. Here what the preamble of the Missouri Constitution states:
"We, the people of Missouri, with profound reverence for the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, and grateful for His goodness, do establish this Constitution for the better government of the state."
Is the FFRF going to try and have that removed and rewritten to reflect the apparent growing godlessness of the State and County citizenry?
What about 'In God we trust?' That's a recognition of an established religion. Should that not go, too? Well, they've tried that, and failed.
If the FFRF had their way, all mention of God would be removed from all American life of governance. They are offended. Tough bananas. Nobody has a right not to be offended. I am offended they want to remove something people living much closer to the founding of the nation saw no problem with depicting on their Great Seal. The Bible and cross are not establishments of a religion/church. They are historic facts of existence of faith in God, the Creator, the Author of the book depicted, which foretells and depicts the life and death of His Son. You say, "Well, that's a religion." Yeah, it is. And the Founders had no problem with it, and they wrote the documents, not the FFRF. But, it is not a church, nor an establishment of any particular church, like the Church of England, which controlled things in Great Britain for centuries. THAT is what the first amendment addresses. The Bible is not a doctrine. The symbol of the cross is not a doctrine. They are emblems of history that contain doctrines the county is not legislating upon or trying to interpret. They are symbols of American and county history.
We read from the Declaration of Independence:
"The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness
"We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intention
"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."
Nature's God, the Creator, the Supreme Judge of the world, the Protector through divine Providence, has a book He speaks of Himself in. It is the Bible.
That's our history. You cannot change it. You can try. And, truth be told, society is showing signs of that change, which will bring about the demise of America. That's what they want: a new America: a godless nation, run by the sole dictates of erring and feeble, weak and vacillating, corrupt and criminal human beings, unfettered and free of religion. That's called a pure democracy, which America is most assuredly not. The Founders established a Constitutional Republic, and no change in citizenry should change what they founded, with God's blessing.
John Adams stated "...the Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
That means the FFRF is an immoral organization. They do not really want to defend the Constitution. They want to redefine what it means and stands for. They want God and religion out, and man in. They want a godless government, which is the antithesis of what the Founders established and meant to endure all attacks, foreign and domestic.
The members of the FFRF will get a lot of what they want. Someday, though, they will stand before the Supreme Judge of the world. They shall get a lot of exactly what they do not want. What can I say? Choices have consequences.
I hope the elected leaders of St. Francois county tell the FFRF to go pound sand.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Babylon is Fallen, is Fallen
Man, what a week.
Confusion abounds and with it, the attack on children.
"Pastor Aaron Musser of St. Luke’s Lutheran Church of Logan Square in Chicago recently dressed in full drag for the Sunday service, wearing a long white dress emblazoned with a golden cross on its chest, a long blonde wig, and full makeup in order to lead the children’s message.
"The pastor began the message by calling the children up to the front to sit with him and asked if they’d ever seen a drag queen before. The kids responded in the negative. “I have an awesome story to share with you today,” Musser said. “I am also a boy most of the time when I’m here, but today, I’m a girl.”"

My wife used to go to the Lutheran church. I shared the link with her. She just came around the corner with her jaw dropped. Definitely not the Lutheran church of her youth.
I don't have to guess what Martin Luther would say.
Babylon is fallen, is fallen.
This has been going on for a couple centuries now. Confusion, corruption, coercion.
I do not endorse all the commentary in the article. There's just as much confusion there, as in St. Luke's Lutheran church.
God help people to see the truth as it is in Jesus, not drag queens or traditions of men but, a full and true Thus Saith the Lord.
And time hastens on apace.

479. Sabbath versus Sunday? - January 15, 2022
Our world is a "versus." It always has been, since the fall of humanity's first parents. It wasn't really a versus before that; Satan versus God. No. That's something in Lucifer's head, alone.
Football games will determine who wins top dog in the "versus" playoffs. Same with all sports. Same with politics. Same with commerce. Everything is "versus."
Today is Saturday, which is Saturn's day. Tomorrow is Sunday, which is Sun's day. Friday, which is Friga's day. That comes into play for some religions. Sabbath, which is God's day of rest; is the seventh day of the week.
You're probably familiar with Western culture's days of the week. Monday is Moon's day. Tuesday is Tyr's day. Wednesday is Woden's day. Thursday is Thor's day. Friday...Friga was Woden's wife, Thor, his son, and Tyr, his daughter. The god's of the Norseman's faith make up our week. Colorful, I guess.
Saturday and Sunday saw the god's of ancient Greece and Rome get a nod.
Did you know the Bible names only one day? All the days of the week are just referred to as first day, second day, etc., until the seventh day, which God calls Shabath; Rest. Sabbath, in English, Matter of fact dozens of languages, over 100, have some form of "Shabath" for the name of the seventh day of the week. Interesting, yes? It does not necessarily mean to stop because you're tired. It also carries with it the idea of pausing to reflect, in the same way an artist or sculptor pauses to look at their finished painting or sculpture.
God created Earth and our surrounding sights in the cosmos in six literal days. That is humanity's week. Ever wonder why humanity has a seven day week?
It was a planned pageantry and display of power in response to Lucifer's wanting to be like the most High and causing rebellion in Heaven. Basically God looked at the rebel and said, You want to be divine? You think you can run the universe? Can you do this? And the Creator proceeded to create. He not only created, he created beings, creatures that could procreate. There wasn't much Lucifer could do but, develop a deeper jealousy and hatred for Christ, who is the One who stepped forward to create everything.
People see Genesis as a fairytale. I did. Of course, I was a young teenager with zip for knowledge about spiritual matters contained in the ancient book called the Bible. My ignorance, despite being raised a Roman Catholic, caused me to reflect on Genesis and Exodus and totally freaked out at a creation week, a talking serpent, a worldwide flood, a burning bush, ten plagues and a pillar of fire and a crack in the Red sea, and sacrifices, blood, and all the rest, and I gave God one more chance and went to the back of the book. Whoah! We've got dragon's and beast's, and whore's and I closed the book and thought, Christian's are crazy! Atheism took place within me and I spent the next ten years defying any and all proponents of religious faith. I would discuss with anyone the foolishness of believing in God.
Nobody ever took the time to put it all into perspective, into a running order of events and reasons and the actual warfare taking place everywhere between forces of good and forces of evil; a reality not understood by the vast majority of Roman Catholics that made up my friends, nor Protestants I knew, as well. Nobody told me the Creator died for His creation. No. Evolution, right? Wrong. Creation.
When the whole picture is better understood, the Bible is not a bunch allegories and metaphors. It's a tapestry, a quilt of patches of history sewn together with a thread of such distinguished brilliance it is staggering. Six thousand years of history, much of it foretold ahead of time! Seriously? Yes. Almost two-thirds of the Bible is prophetic. Everything revolves around creation: the creation of the physical and the creation, the recreation of the spiritual, and someday, the recreation of the physical, again.
God created in six literal days, rested, paused, checked out what He made, and named the seventh-day of the week, Shabath, Sabbath, the day of rest to reflect on creation and recreation, and the promise that God shall bring creation back to its original forms and beauty, including those who love Him.
The controversy over Sabbath versus Sunday is not about a day of the week. It's about far deeper consequences of creation. Lucifer cannot create things out of nothing. He can pervert. He can tamper with creation. He cannot create from nothing. The Sabbath is the fourth commandment of the moral law because creation is a moral stand against Lucifer's rebellion, proven by the fact God creates from nothing. Lucifer cannot possibly run the universe. He's way out of his league, and he knew it dead on when creation week was displayed and all the morning stars and sons of God sang and shouted for joy to behold it all. Lucifer and the angels who rebelled with him, just walked off into a corner somewhere and brooded and planned.
Have you ever seen the actual, biblical fourth commandment? Let me show you a serious creative decision by men:
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
That is what you see on plaques and walls and decorative things. That is what you see in a Roman Catholic catechism, their third commandment. That is NOT the fourth commandment; not even as shown in a Roman Catholic Bible. Here's the fourth commandment from the Douay/Rheims Bible:
Exo 20:8 Remember that thou keep holy the sabbath day.
Exo 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and shalt do all thy works.
Exo 20:10 But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: thou shalt do no work on it, thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy beast, nor the stranger that is within thy gates.
Exo 20:11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them, and rested on the seventh day: therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it.
That is the fourth commandment of the Decalogue, the moral law; the law which is the standard all will be judged by. It is the longest commandment. It is the only commandment that names and identifies the Lawgiver: Yehovah our elohym: the Self-existent our God. Not much Lucifer can do about that one. The self-existent Lucifer? Not. The Sabbath is a direct rebuke to Lucifer's rebellion.
God blessed the day and sanctified it; set it apart for a holy use. The Israelites also had yearly Sabbaths to observe but, the seventh day of the week is a command for all mankind. It existed before any Jews existed, and it shall exist for all eternity. I'll get to that.
The resurrection of Christ on the early morning hours of the first day of the week - after He rested in the tomb on the Sabbath from His work of redemption - does nothing to change the reason why the fourth commandment exists. It cannot change the reason for the commandment, nor can it change the commandment, itself.
The Roman Catholic Church claims the authority and power to change the law of God. That haughty claim is one of the marks of antichrist: "he thinks to change times and laws," Daniel 7:25.
People who claim Sunday, the Sun's day, has taken the place of the Seventh-day Sabbath are ignorant of the entire scope of the devil's rebellion and God's answer to it, as well as the plan of salvation to recreate people lost to sin, and someday recreate the world to its original beauty, now marred by sin. You cannot change the Sabbath. No human or group of humans have any such authority. Christ never said a word about replacing it. To the contrary! He stated it would be in place 40 years after His ascension:
Mat 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Mat 24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
Mat 24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
Mat 24:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
Mat 24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
Mat 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
The Roman armies encircled Jerusalem. They were there to destroy it. The army was called away to fight another battle elsewhere. Christians saw that as a fulfillment of Christ's words and they fled the city. In 70 A.D. the Romans returned. The city was destroyed, the people killed in such numbers blood was claimed to have literally flowed down the temple steps, where thousands sought shelter. The Romans slaughtered with unbridled wrath.
Jesus said pray that your flight be not in the winter, for fleeing in the cold would be an extremely difficult situation. And pray your flight not take place on the Sabbath, which is the day of rest and reflection. The Sabbath was to be intact 40 years beyond Christ's resurrection. How then did the first day of the week replace the seventh day of God's commandment, written with His own finger? The ascension of the Roman Catholic apostasy.
The first day of the week is mentioned in the Bible in no capacity to be a replacement for the fourth commandment. Not even close.
The apostle John, being in the spirit on the Lord's day, tells us... well, what day is the Lord's? The seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God.
Mar 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
Mar 2:28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
The word 'man' is 'anthropos:' mankind. The Sabbath was made for mankind. Christ is Lord of that day because Jesus Christ created mankind and the entire universe.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
John 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
John 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
John 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Creation/recreation; being born-again is an act of creation, an act of Christ, the Creator. The enormity of that fact, the reason for that aspect of the plan of salvation, seems lost on the professed Christian world of Sunday-keepers.
The Sabbath cannot be replaced by another day. People say, "Well, Jesus rose to life on Sunday. He gives us new life. So, we rest on Sunday. Sabbath is for the Jews." No, the Sabbath was made for all mankind. And the fact is, the early church kept the Sabbath, the book of Acts makes that plain enough. It states the apostle Paul kept the Sabbath, as was his custom, or habit, and did so a total of well over a hundred times in the course of his ministry in various locations as Luke recorded it, and definitively speaking, his entire life. He knew of no change. He knew an apostasy was coming. He saw the man of sin, the son of perdition, claiming prerogatives of God; claiming the authority of Christ. He knew of no change to the fourth commandment by Christ or the Father. None. A preposterous thing.
The Sabbath is a weekly memorial of the creation. Remember it. The world has forgotten, by design of the rebel.
If you change the day, you have to change the reason. Nothing was created on the first day of the week. Genesis only gives a reference to God's glory, light, that shined upon a dark place in the universe where the Creator was about to show why He is the Creator, the Omnipotent, the Sovereign of the universe. God divided the light from the darkness and called it the first day. The first six days He created. The seventh day He and rested, blessed and sanctified: set it apart. It is HIS DAY. Nobody gets to change it, unless they have the power to create something from nothing.
Gen 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
If I set apart certain drums to make a drum set, does someone have the authority to change that arrangement? No. Ah. What if I give them permission? And that is where the Roman Catholic Church's Papacy and Vatican make their stand. They claim God gave the RCC and the popes and the Vatican permission to change whatever they want. So, Sunday it is! And the entire professed Christian world bows to the claimed authority of the Catholic Church. Heady stuff. No wonder Rome has been able to play their game for century after century. Her daughters do not really study God's book. If they did, they might protest. They might even cut mother's apron strings.
Entire congregations have gone from Sunday to Sabbath. Truth is powerful.
Well, wait, a reader might say. What about Acts 20?
Acts 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
First, the apostles and believers came together every day to break bread; to fellowship together:
Acts 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
Acts 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
Acts 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
The early church "broke bread;" fellowshipped and ate meals together every day, and the church grew, exponentially, as thousands and tens of thousands came into the faith. Then the Gentiles began to come into this new faith by hundreds of thousands.
Acts 20 says nothing about a change of the fourth commandment. It's Luke's recounting of their final hours with believers in Troas and the healing of Eutychus.
Acts 20:8 And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.
Acts 20:9 And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.
Acts 20:10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
Acts 20:11 When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.
Acts 20:12 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.
You will search in vain to find a single verse of Scripture that states the first day of the week replaced the seventh day as the day of rest of the fourth commandment. The fact is, Sunday keepers do not even keep the day holy, sanctified, set apart for remembering anything of creation. They go to church and then go about the day shopping, playing sports, whatever they feel like. Even Catholics go to mass Saturday evening and don't go to church at all on Sundays. BABYLON. Confusion.
The Roman church chides apostate Protestants for their recalcitrance when it comes to Sunday. Rome changed the day to suit their apostasy from the truth, making a difference between them and the Jews, making it easier for pagans to join their faith, all Sunday keepers already; and the long-standing tradition of Rome was taken up by the Reformation, save for groups like the Seventh-day Baptists, or before them, well before them, the Waldensians and people of the French and Swiss alps. Tombstones have been found stating the fourth commandment on them, in faith that someday the dead would be resurrected and recreated with immortality.
There are well over 500 Sabbath-keeping groups today. The Seventh-day Adventists probably being the most well-known, and even there, the world knows SDAs as the people who go to church on Saturday and don't eat pork or shellfish. Not exactly a recognition of a message they were supposed to give to the world.
It may seem impossible that the world could divide over a couple days, and that would be correct. It is not about a couple of days. It's about Lucifer's rebellion, the Sovereignty of the Creator and recreation of that which God owns: His people and His world, stolen by Satan, the Adversary. The Creator became a Man. The Creator died for His creation, to redeem it. The Creator rose from His grave and is coming again to recreate His people and then, 1000 years from now, recreate the world, now held captive by the great rebel. Creation is what this war is all about: Who can and who cannot.
Revelation makes it clear a people, a remnant, shall keep the commandments of God and the faith and testimony of Jesus Christ in these last days. There are ten commandments, not nine. The fourth commandment has a distinctive reason that can never be set aside. The truth is, throughout eternity the Sabbath shall be kept:
Isa 66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
Isa 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
Every month, every Sabbath the vast host of the redeemed shall go before the LORD and rejoice and worship before Him. Talk about a church service! Gathered on the sea of glass, mingled with fire, God on His throne, the emerald bow above Him reflecting on the sea of glass. An innumerable host, like the sand of the sea, with the angelic throng all gathered in one place? What a place!
Isa 64:4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
1Cor 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
There is a living connection between the Old and New Testaments. They are woven together. They state truths that cannot be denied without being very unreasonable.
"Modern" Christians are denying more and more of what the Bible teaches. Youth are leaving churches in groves. Old hands are joining the legion of Materialism and Naturalism through the pseudo-science of theistic evolution. Why do you think prophecy predicts a remnant? A justifiably small portion of what was the faith once delivered unto the saints, is what will manifest in these closing times. We're going on 8 billion people. I don't know how many people will take a stand for the truth in the near future and be martyred or make it to the end and be translated but, both groups will go through a creation experience unlike any other known to mankind. Brought back to life, even in the case of those whose cells have long since decayed back into the Earth, and those alive, changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, all given immortality.
The Christian faith, the biblical faith, grows at astonishing rates in China, North Korea, even Iran and other Islamic nations. The power of the Gospel changes lives. It changed mine. I was recreated in Christ; born-again, given new life. People see the things their religions do not possess; things that make sense, things that offer true paths and true hope. The seventh-day Sabbath grows much more fervently overseas. High prices are paid for taking stands in lands where Christianity is seen as the ultimate enemy. The Devil hates creation. He hates those recreated into Christ's likeness. His legions hate everything that is life, granted by God. He must war against creation. His weapon? The falsehood of Sunday. Yes, a host of other lies, too, of course but, Sunday is his great achievement among mankind.
Prophecy predicts a final showdown between two days: the seal of the living God and the mark of the beast. The seal of the living God is the Sabbath, the mark of His sanctifying power. It is not going away. Sunday? The mark of the beast; Sunday legislation? Sunday is doomed. So is a world that chooses it over the Creator's fourth commandment.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Football games will determine who wins top dog in the "versus" playoffs. Same with all sports. Same with politics. Same with commerce. Everything is "versus."
Today is Saturday, which is Saturn's day. Tomorrow is Sunday, which is Sun's day. Friday, which is Friga's day. That comes into play for some religions. Sabbath, which is God's day of rest; is the seventh day of the week.
You're probably familiar with Western culture's days of the week. Monday is Moon's day. Tuesday is Tyr's day. Wednesday is Woden's day. Thursday is Thor's day. Friday...Friga was Woden's wife, Thor, his son, and Tyr, his daughter. The god's of the Norseman's faith make up our week. Colorful, I guess.
Saturday and Sunday saw the god's of ancient Greece and Rome get a nod.
Did you know the Bible names only one day? All the days of the week are just referred to as first day, second day, etc., until the seventh day, which God calls Shabath; Rest. Sabbath, in English, Matter of fact dozens of languages, over 100, have some form of "Shabath" for the name of the seventh day of the week. Interesting, yes? It does not necessarily mean to stop because you're tired. It also carries with it the idea of pausing to reflect, in the same way an artist or sculptor pauses to look at their finished painting or sculpture.
God created Earth and our surrounding sights in the cosmos in six literal days. That is humanity's week. Ever wonder why humanity has a seven day week?
It was a planned pageantry and display of power in response to Lucifer's wanting to be like the most High and causing rebellion in Heaven. Basically God looked at the rebel and said, You want to be divine? You think you can run the universe? Can you do this? And the Creator proceeded to create. He not only created, he created beings, creatures that could procreate. There wasn't much Lucifer could do but, develop a deeper jealousy and hatred for Christ, who is the One who stepped forward to create everything.
People see Genesis as a fairytale. I did. Of course, I was a young teenager with zip for knowledge about spiritual matters contained in the ancient book called the Bible. My ignorance, despite being raised a Roman Catholic, caused me to reflect on Genesis and Exodus and totally freaked out at a creation week, a talking serpent, a worldwide flood, a burning bush, ten plagues and a pillar of fire and a crack in the Red sea, and sacrifices, blood, and all the rest, and I gave God one more chance and went to the back of the book. Whoah! We've got dragon's and beast's, and whore's and I closed the book and thought, Christian's are crazy! Atheism took place within me and I spent the next ten years defying any and all proponents of religious faith. I would discuss with anyone the foolishness of believing in God.
Nobody ever took the time to put it all into perspective, into a running order of events and reasons and the actual warfare taking place everywhere between forces of good and forces of evil; a reality not understood by the vast majority of Roman Catholics that made up my friends, nor Protestants I knew, as well. Nobody told me the Creator died for His creation. No. Evolution, right? Wrong. Creation.
When the whole picture is better understood, the Bible is not a bunch allegories and metaphors. It's a tapestry, a quilt of patches of history sewn together with a thread of such distinguished brilliance it is staggering. Six thousand years of history, much of it foretold ahead of time! Seriously? Yes. Almost two-thirds of the Bible is prophetic. Everything revolves around creation: the creation of the physical and the creation, the recreation of the spiritual, and someday, the recreation of the physical, again.
God created in six literal days, rested, paused, checked out what He made, and named the seventh-day of the week, Shabath, Sabbath, the day of rest to reflect on creation and recreation, and the promise that God shall bring creation back to its original forms and beauty, including those who love Him.
The controversy over Sabbath versus Sunday is not about a day of the week. It's about far deeper consequences of creation. Lucifer cannot create things out of nothing. He can pervert. He can tamper with creation. He cannot create from nothing. The Sabbath is the fourth commandment of the moral law because creation is a moral stand against Lucifer's rebellion, proven by the fact God creates from nothing. Lucifer cannot possibly run the universe. He's way out of his league, and he knew it dead on when creation week was displayed and all the morning stars and sons of God sang and shouted for joy to behold it all. Lucifer and the angels who rebelled with him, just walked off into a corner somewhere and brooded and planned.
Have you ever seen the actual, biblical fourth commandment? Let me show you a serious creative decision by men:
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
That is what you see on plaques and walls and decorative things. That is what you see in a Roman Catholic catechism, their third commandment. That is NOT the fourth commandment; not even as shown in a Roman Catholic Bible. Here's the fourth commandment from the Douay/Rheims Bible:
Exo 20:8 Remember that thou keep holy the sabbath day.
Exo 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and shalt do all thy works.
Exo 20:10 But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: thou shalt do no work on it, thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy beast, nor the stranger that is within thy gates.
Exo 20:11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them, and rested on the seventh day: therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it.
That is the fourth commandment of the Decalogue, the moral law; the law which is the standard all will be judged by. It is the longest commandment. It is the only commandment that names and identifies the Lawgiver: Yehovah our elohym: the Self-existent our God. Not much Lucifer can do about that one. The self-existent Lucifer? Not. The Sabbath is a direct rebuke to Lucifer's rebellion.
God blessed the day and sanctified it; set it apart for a holy use. The Israelites also had yearly Sabbaths to observe but, the seventh day of the week is a command for all mankind. It existed before any Jews existed, and it shall exist for all eternity. I'll get to that.
The resurrection of Christ on the early morning hours of the first day of the week - after He rested in the tomb on the Sabbath from His work of redemption - does nothing to change the reason why the fourth commandment exists. It cannot change the reason for the commandment, nor can it change the commandment, itself.
The Roman Catholic Church claims the authority and power to change the law of God. That haughty claim is one of the marks of antichrist: "he thinks to change times and laws," Daniel 7:25.
People who claim Sunday, the Sun's day, has taken the place of the Seventh-day Sabbath are ignorant of the entire scope of the devil's rebellion and God's answer to it, as well as the plan of salvation to recreate people lost to sin, and someday recreate the world to its original beauty, now marred by sin. You cannot change the Sabbath. No human or group of humans have any such authority. Christ never said a word about replacing it. To the contrary! He stated it would be in place 40 years after His ascension:
Mat 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Mat 24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
Mat 24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
Mat 24:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
Mat 24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
Mat 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
The Roman armies encircled Jerusalem. They were there to destroy it. The army was called away to fight another battle elsewhere. Christians saw that as a fulfillment of Christ's words and they fled the city. In 70 A.D. the Romans returned. The city was destroyed, the people killed in such numbers blood was claimed to have literally flowed down the temple steps, where thousands sought shelter. The Romans slaughtered with unbridled wrath.
Jesus said pray that your flight be not in the winter, for fleeing in the cold would be an extremely difficult situation. And pray your flight not take place on the Sabbath, which is the day of rest and reflection. The Sabbath was to be intact 40 years beyond Christ's resurrection. How then did the first day of the week replace the seventh day of God's commandment, written with His own finger? The ascension of the Roman Catholic apostasy.
The first day of the week is mentioned in the Bible in no capacity to be a replacement for the fourth commandment. Not even close.
The apostle John, being in the spirit on the Lord's day, tells us... well, what day is the Lord's? The seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God.
Mar 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
Mar 2:28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
The word 'man' is 'anthropos:' mankind. The Sabbath was made for mankind. Christ is Lord of that day because Jesus Christ created mankind and the entire universe.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
John 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
John 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
John 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Creation/recreation; being born-again is an act of creation, an act of Christ, the Creator. The enormity of that fact, the reason for that aspect of the plan of salvation, seems lost on the professed Christian world of Sunday-keepers.
The Sabbath cannot be replaced by another day. People say, "Well, Jesus rose to life on Sunday. He gives us new life. So, we rest on Sunday. Sabbath is for the Jews." No, the Sabbath was made for all mankind. And the fact is, the early church kept the Sabbath, the book of Acts makes that plain enough. It states the apostle Paul kept the Sabbath, as was his custom, or habit, and did so a total of well over a hundred times in the course of his ministry in various locations as Luke recorded it, and definitively speaking, his entire life. He knew of no change. He knew an apostasy was coming. He saw the man of sin, the son of perdition, claiming prerogatives of God; claiming the authority of Christ. He knew of no change to the fourth commandment by Christ or the Father. None. A preposterous thing.
The Sabbath is a weekly memorial of the creation. Remember it. The world has forgotten, by design of the rebel.
If you change the day, you have to change the reason. Nothing was created on the first day of the week. Genesis only gives a reference to God's glory, light, that shined upon a dark place in the universe where the Creator was about to show why He is the Creator, the Omnipotent, the Sovereign of the universe. God divided the light from the darkness and called it the first day. The first six days He created. The seventh day He and rested, blessed and sanctified: set it apart. It is HIS DAY. Nobody gets to change it, unless they have the power to create something from nothing.
Gen 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
If I set apart certain drums to make a drum set, does someone have the authority to change that arrangement? No. Ah. What if I give them permission? And that is where the Roman Catholic Church's Papacy and Vatican make their stand. They claim God gave the RCC and the popes and the Vatican permission to change whatever they want. So, Sunday it is! And the entire professed Christian world bows to the claimed authority of the Catholic Church. Heady stuff. No wonder Rome has been able to play their game for century after century. Her daughters do not really study God's book. If they did, they might protest. They might even cut mother's apron strings.
Entire congregations have gone from Sunday to Sabbath. Truth is powerful.

480. Hey ET! *Light* My Fire, Baby! - January 15, 2022
It is difficult for me to address a situation I believe is coming but, is almost hilarious, if it weren't so deceptive and believable to hundreds of millions of people.
Linda Moulton Howe is a well-known UFOlogist and investigator of the paranormal. She's been in her field for decades and has become somewhat of a mother figure for many. Her YT channel has 194k subscribers, literally increasing weekly, and is watched by, I don't know how many more viewers.
I check her channel weekly, look at the description titles and generally pass along. She is, by any definition, a seeker, and seemingly sincere. As a Bible believing Christian, I just see her in Babylon; a confusion with deep rabbit holes in every direction imaginable.
The current description title caused me to check out the program, which generally goes up once or twice a week. In listening to one particular segment, I heard nothing new but, more of the same I have heard or read for 40 years now. Beings of light are coming. They mean us well. There are enemies of humanity that are also here, planning mankind's demise, etc., etc. Hollywood-stuff.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZBZznUl8n8
The gentleman conversing with Linda is Adam Burns, a Graphic Designer, who has been going through hypnosis sessions to figure out what is happening to him. He's someone who has been having abduction experiences and telepathic communication with "Greys," the popular form of "ET" for over half a century now. The number of people who believe this, without any empirical evidence, is pretty amazing, to me. All people have are the testimonies of abductees. That's it. Some claim marks or holes in their bodies that came from "ET" exams. A few have produced "implants" of one type or another, supposedly put in them by "ET" and taken out by them or people that have experience with these tiny devices. It all makes for great books and movie subjects. None of it is empirical proof. Yet it is believed by millions and millions of people.
I have seen what Pharma is putting into vials of the injections: nanoparticles that any casual observer would ask what the heck is that stuff and what is it doing in a "vaccine?" People can put microscopic stuff in liquid and have it injected into things. Why should I believe abductees have things from "ET" inside them?
Empirical science is observation-based. Testing, repeating, concluding, based on concise and consistent physical evidence. Abductees can produce none of that. I feel for them. Their numbers increase exponentially. I'm not here to tell you what is happening to them. I have no way of knowing. That said, I do know what the Bible states about Lucifer, fallen angels that follow him, the nature of their supernatural abilities and deceptions, their general and some specific plans, and their ultimate finality: destruction.
I conclude; a great deal, if not all abductee experiences, are at the hands of those forces of evil.
Now, to listen to the abductees tell what "ET" has told them, what I believe is wrong. So be it. I just wrote the last post about "versus." Everything is 'this versus that' in our lives. What I have to guide me is my own experience. They also have theirs. I have a sourcebook containing actual lineage of humanity and a prophesied Deliverer, and dozens and dozens of fulfilled prophecies about world history and that Deliverer. Fulfilled prophecies centuries in advance is pretty hefty stuff. Thus far, I am unaware of any sourcebook "ET" claims to go by and share with their abductees. The common thread from them is life in light. Oops. Big mistake for a student of the Bible:
2Cor 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
I go back to that verse repeatedly because its foundation is another reference to the "versus." The light of God versus the light of Lucifer, the "light bearer." Everybody follows one or the other, to certain degrees of influence upon their lives.
I have placed in these blogs what various people in contact with "ET" has told them to tell humanity. In Mr. Burns' case, he had this to say about things "ET" has told him:
"There are big changes coming. Things on Earth are going to get worse before they get better. There are other beings that are trying to keep you (humans) down, that don't want love and light and higher consciousness. It's very complicated." Hypnosis Session, December 27, 2021
There's a lot more in his conversation with Howe, and all of it, I mean all of it, is an obvious deception, from a Scriptural point of view.
Personally, I would not place my mind under the influence of another human being in such a way. The supernatural is real. It exists. Dimensions beyond those we understand exist. At least, that is the conclusion one can draw from the Bible because supernatural beings are around us all the time, yet we see them not.
I know, I know, some will say what I believe is just a different slant on what abductees believe. Nope. Again, the difference is the Creator and His ability to tell the end from the beginning: prophecy. That is His declaration to humanity that He is in control and can be trusted. He knows what is coming. That is divinity.
2Pet 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
2Pet 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
2Pet 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
"ET" claims to have seeded life on Earth. Of course, they never seem to declare where they came from. They just exist as beings of light that take bodies, "containers," "vessels" to exist in and experience in. The universe is light, they are light, everything is basically light in the darkness of space and the universe is some kind of living light. Light, light, light. You'll forgive me if I see a pattern there. A pattern of counterfeit and deceit.
1John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Over and over the Bible refers to light, as a spiritual, intellectual, emotional reality. Christ is the light of the world. Walk in the light, etc., etc. It is not talking about particles. But, "ET" does talk about light as particles they exist from and in, and humanity needs that experience, that life, that existence. We need more evolution to attain it. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Nope. God creates. We are created in Christ Jesus unto good works. We are not meant to evolve by accidents. We are recreated; spirit, soul, and body = intellectually, emotionally and even physically we can experience a new found energy, a bounce in the step.
But, listen, great changes are coming. No doubt about that. "ET" is coming, sooner or later. No doubt about that, either. Fallen angels are going for the final deception upon mankind, seeking to see humanity and all life destroyed.
We hear about criminals who enjoy committing the most heinous crimes. Well, where does that come from? The mystery of iniquity began in Lucifer and continues on in any creature that refuses to reason with their Creator. Evil angels enjoy destruction. They delight in seeing suffering. They have no compassion. They no longer have any conscience. They are tools of their master. They will not stop until everything is destroyed, even though they know it means their end as well. They are insane. They are dangerous, deceptive, experts at human nature by 6000 years of observations, and God has warned us what they did, do, and shall do.
With each passing week I am certain Lucifer is going to use the entire gig of "ET" for last-day deceptions, sizing up the human race for the final dog and pony show; masquerading as Christ, using his angels to mimic a resurrection of the dead and a show of supernatural power such as the world has never seen.
Linda Moulton Howe would have me believe God exists in some universal light-form and we are all part of it. Kumbaya.
Well, God is God. He is above the physical universe. He created it. He takes the form portrayed in Scripture to be able to have fellowship with finite creatures in His creation. Oh! Wait! That's just what "ET" tells abductees! They are light and take forms to be able to interact. Indeed. Counterfeit.
They claim to have "souls," too. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! Red flag, red flag. Man, even from a view of common sense. Light has a soul, a ghost-like entity in it?
My choice is to believe the Bible. That is the logical choice for me because it has informed me of what people need to know, ahead of time, to not be deceived.
Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord Jehovah will do nothing, except he reveal his secret unto his servants the prophets.
Amos 3:8 The lion hath roared; who will not fear? The Lord Jehovah hath spoken; who can but prophesy? ASV
Linda Moulton Howe is a well-known UFOlogist and investigator of the paranormal. She's been in her field for decades and has become somewhat of a mother figure for many. Her YT channel has 194k subscribers, literally increasing weekly, and is watched by, I don't know how many more viewers.
I check her channel weekly, look at the description titles and generally pass along. She is, by any definition, a seeker, and seemingly sincere. As a Bible believing Christian, I just see her in Babylon; a confusion with deep rabbit holes in every direction imaginable.
The current description title caused me to check out the program, which generally goes up once or twice a week. In listening to one particular segment, I heard nothing new but, more of the same I have heard or read for 40 years now. Beings of light are coming. They mean us well. There are enemies of humanity that are also here, planning mankind's demise, etc., etc. Hollywood-stuff.

The gentleman conversing with Linda is Adam Burns, a Graphic Designer, who has been going through hypnosis sessions to figure out what is happening to him. He's someone who has been having abduction experiences and telepathic communication with "Greys," the popular form of "ET" for over half a century now. The number of people who believe this, without any empirical evidence, is pretty amazing, to me. All people have are the testimonies of abductees. That's it. Some claim marks or holes in their bodies that came from "ET" exams. A few have produced "implants" of one type or another, supposedly put in them by "ET" and taken out by them or people that have experience with these tiny devices. It all makes for great books and movie subjects. None of it is empirical proof. Yet it is believed by millions and millions of people.

COFFEE: A GIFT FROM GOD?!?!?
Okay, I'm set off, triggered, provoked.
Here's the headline:
The art of coffee making helps us slow down and appreciate God
"LSNTV's Arts & Culture correspondent Larissa Fedoryka has been thinking about how we all tend to go through the motions with our daily coffee rituals, without considering that coffee is indeed a gift from God."
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/the-art-of-coffee-making-helps-us-slow-down-and-appreciate-god/
I did not read the article. I do not need to read the article. I know what a coffee bean is and what it can do to people. My parents drank 14 cups a day at the restaurants they ran.
I hated the smell of coffee growing up, almost as much as I hated the smell of cigarette smoke. For them, the two went hand in hand or, rather, one in each hand.
I had one cup of coffee in my life. What am I saying? I had one gulp of coffee in my life. It not only tasted ridiculously bitter and foul, it became instantly obvious why people put milk, cream, sugar and every flavor known to mankind in it, to kill that bitterness and make it palatable. Those who love it black? I have no words. I do but, I'll refrain.
I have been to churches where big coffee urns are set up in Sunday school rooms and heard people, time and time again proclaim they could not start their day without a cup of coffee, as they went straight to the urn and got their morning fix.
Caffeine is one of the most powerful and addictive drugs known to man. Decaffeinated coffee is hardly better because of the chemicals used to pull the drug out of the beans. You cannot remove all the caffeine, and even if you could, that still leaves the rest of the problems floating around.
A quick search: toxins in coffee beans; the first ten hits:
https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/the-mycotoxins-in-coffee-myth (!!!) One of the weakest defenses of coffee I have ever seen. To state it has benefits to health is almost moronic. Here's a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice. Here's a drop of (name your poison). Yeah, that glass of orange juice is real healthy. So it goes with coffee. It's just a matter of dosage and time.

How about harmful chemicals in coffee beans:
https://www.businessinsider.com/chemicals-in-coffee-2015-3
"Coffee addiction is the developed world's second-most prevalent back monkey (after nicotine). Songs have been written about it, from Johann Sebastian Bach’s Coffee Cantata to Julian Smith's "Racist Coffee." Many people literally (the literal meaning of "literally") can't get through the day without it. It's no wonder why people really didn't like having coffee torn apart like this.
"And it's also not surprising that few coffee producers offer the public any useful information about the chemicals in their brew. Nescafé and Starbucks, just to choose two examples at random, nearly completely gloss over the chemicals in coffee on their websites. Their PR people are even less helpful, limiting their replies to things like "the finest coffee beans" and "pure filtered water."
"To get deep down inside the coffee bean, you have to search deep down in the Internet. On the USDA's website, there is a section called the Agricultural Research Service (ARS). And deep within the ARS website, there is a section called the Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN). And deep within GRIN, there is what looks for all the world like a rogue web page, containing something called Dr. Duke's Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical Databases.
"Not a Doonesbury gag, this is a complete database taken from Dr. James Duke's groundbreaking work Handbook of Phytochemical Constituents of GRAS Herbs and Other Economic Plants. Duke found over a thousand chemicals in coffee alone. Anything you want to know about the naturally occurring plant-based chemicals on the USDA's "Generally Regarded as Safe" list can probably be found in Dr. Duke's. Happy hunting!""
How about poisons in coffee beans:
https://naturespoisons.com/2014/02/04/caffeine-addicted-to-poison/
To read that article; anybody claiming coffee is a gift from God is on the fast, ignorance train to la la land.
Give me a break.
BABYLON. Confusion on steroids.
Unbelievable.
Well, no. Quite believable.
16 BILLION pounds of coffee beans harvested a year: that a billion people take in every morning on an empty stomach, no less, as they head off to work. Yum.

Hey, if you are desperate enough, and loving the "blessing" of tobacco enough, you can even find benefits of it:

Alcoholics rejoice! There are benefits to fermented liquids, too.
"Benefits" of some kind, some percentage, can be found in just about everything. In this fallen world of twisted life and twisted thinking; people are willing to risk health for their perverted appetites. Paul calls it the belly god:
(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) Philippians 3:18,19.
We all have our darlings sins, our pet indulgences, our denials of reality. Calling coffee a gift from God is an insult to the Creator who desires we be in health, while we so easily risk it.

*****************************
481. Dan Crenshaw, Superman and Jesus Christ - January 18, 2022
Dan Crensahw is a Congressman from down around Houston. He was a big deal for awhile. Something happened. Deep State threats? Does anyone claim to know? He seems to have done a 180 on former positions as a professed Conservative Patriot, now attacking his own.
The video shows him at a "town hall" meeting of some kind, taking questions. A teen ager repeats a quote of his back to him, about him using Superman and Jesus, and other 'heroes,' in the same paragraph. What erupts from there is significant.
https://www.redvoicemedia.com/video/2022/01/dan-crenshaw-confronted-to-his-face-over-direct-quote-that-draws-his-faith-into-question/
Dan Crenshaw's faith is Methodist. He has often been open about his faith, addressing matters throughout his life as a young boy, a Navy Seal, and a Congressman. His reaction to the teenage girl's question shows a real character flaw. Now, as you know, I believe it is not within the realm of man to judge someone's character or motives. 1. We cannot change anyone's character and we have enough problems with our own and 2., we cannot know true motives unless someone tells us what they are. God alone can change character and knows true motives.
So, let's say I just observe his reaction as a politician. Epic fail. To come back hard at a teenager, a young girl like that, in a seriously flawed, defensive manor, was poor enough to receive the expected response he got from members of the audience; especially in the current controversy about his congressional positions and public comments he has made about Conservatives and Patriots trying to stand up for principles of Americanism and calling out apostates within the GOP. Turning on the people who elected you to office? It has become commonplace in the Republican Party but, Crenshaw's backstabbing is most disheartening for constituents.
He shot back - no one can question his faith. Hey, man, you are the one who put Jesus and Superman in the same sentence. Don't attack us. He said to put a period after Jesus. Jesus is real, of course. Do not question my faith.
Well, I'd question the faith of anyone who puts Jesus Christ in the same paragraph with anyone, let alone a comic book character. For that matter, anyone in the same chapter or the same book. There are no heroes that compare to Christ. Such a concept is so shallow of understanding who and what Jesus is, a third-grader would know better. Crenshaw might have tried to calmly undo the knots he tied but, instead, he went after the girl and the audience was right to turn on him.
This is certainly not the first time I have seen professed believers put Christ in the same list as other prominent people in human history. It's so preposterous as to render such comparison's apostasy from the truth.
Jesus Christ is the Creator of the universe! He somehow entered a virgin, became a zygote, and a baby, and a boy, and a man, lived a life without sin, and offered Himself up to be sacrificed, killed in our place, and rose Himself from the dead to offer us enemies and sinners eternal life with Him. There is no second place, or third, or fourth, fifth or billionth behind that, on a list of heroes composed by ignorant humans, of which Dan Crenshaw shows himself to be. I mean, at least pick another person, not a comic book character, for pity's sake.
Whatever has happened to Dan Crenshaw, I'd expect it to cause him to either resign, not run again, or get blown out in primaries, if he does.
If I was atheist, as I used to be, and heard someone make such a comparison; knowing Jesus Christ was not a comic book character or made up in any way, I'd have dismissed such a comment as total nonsense. It is one thing to reject the deity of Christ and the plan of salvation. It is another thing to compare Him to a fantasy figure. That's just ridiculous. And as a former atheist, I'd have said the same thing if someone compared Gandhi or Churchill or any historical figure to a comic book character, or Crenshaw, for that matter.
This is why you can believe so many of God's people are out in Babylon, and just need some correct placement of information before them for things to click, as they shall take a stand; while many professed Christians will buckle and crumble when pressure and persecution comes.
Crenshaw has his political handlers who surely went to work creating spin and doing damage control and will try to right a capsizing boat. Good luck with that. He'll make an apology of some kind, saying he didn't have breakfast or something, and was feeling a bit grumpy. I don't know. Sorry, Dan. Apologize for your lack of understanding Jesus Christ and the Gospel but, substituting anything else will not, and should not fly.
If you are a professed Christian, and you think you can compare Jesus to another person in the human race, you are not yet a Christian. You do not know the Gospel. You have not truly accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour. If He can be compared to any other person, we do not have salvation from sin. Only the Creator could die for and pay the ransom for His entire creation. And no person, or group of persons, or the entire human race can compare to the Creator. Please. Do let us have common sense (and some theological foundations).
Maybe Crenshaw's pastor will have a good conversation with him. I hope so. Somebody needs to.
The video shows him at a "town hall" meeting of some kind, taking questions. A teen ager repeats a quote of his back to him, about him using Superman and Jesus, and other 'heroes,' in the same paragraph. What erupts from there is significant.
https://www.redvoicemedia.com/video/2022/01/dan-crenshaw-confronted-to-his-face-over-direct-quote-that-draws-his-faith-into-question/
Dan Crenshaw's faith is Methodist. He has often been open about his faith, addressing matters throughout his life as a young boy, a Navy Seal, and a Congressman. His reaction to the teenage girl's question shows a real character flaw. Now, as you know, I believe it is not within the realm of man to judge someone's character or motives. 1. We cannot change anyone's character and we have enough problems with our own and 2., we cannot know true motives unless someone tells us what they are. God alone can change character and knows true motives.
So, let's say I just observe his reaction as a politician. Epic fail. To come back hard at a teenager, a young girl like that, in a seriously flawed, defensive manor, was poor enough to receive the expected response he got from members of the audience; especially in the current controversy about his congressional positions and public comments he has made about Conservatives and Patriots trying to stand up for principles of Americanism and calling out apostates within the GOP. Turning on the people who elected you to office? It has become commonplace in the Republican Party but, Crenshaw's backstabbing is most disheartening for constituents.
He shot back - no one can question his faith. Hey, man, you are the one who put Jesus and Superman in the same sentence. Don't attack us. He said to put a period after Jesus. Jesus is real, of course. Do not question my faith.
Well, I'd question the faith of anyone who puts Jesus Christ in the same paragraph with anyone, let alone a comic book character. For that matter, anyone in the same chapter or the same book. There are no heroes that compare to Christ. Such a concept is so shallow of understanding who and what Jesus is, a third-grader would know better. Crenshaw might have tried to calmly undo the knots he tied but, instead, he went after the girl and the audience was right to turn on him.
This is certainly not the first time I have seen professed believers put Christ in the same list as other prominent people in human history. It's so preposterous as to render such comparison's apostasy from the truth.
Jesus Christ is the Creator of the universe! He somehow entered a virgin, became a zygote, and a baby, and a boy, and a man, lived a life without sin, and offered Himself up to be sacrificed, killed in our place, and rose Himself from the dead to offer us enemies and sinners eternal life with Him. There is no second place, or third, or fourth, fifth or billionth behind that, on a list of heroes composed by ignorant humans, of which Dan Crenshaw shows himself to be. I mean, at least pick another person, not a comic book character, for pity's sake.
Whatever has happened to Dan Crenshaw, I'd expect it to cause him to either resign, not run again, or get blown out in primaries, if he does.
If I was atheist, as I used to be, and heard someone make such a comparison; knowing Jesus Christ was not a comic book character or made up in any way, I'd have dismissed such a comment as total nonsense. It is one thing to reject the deity of Christ and the plan of salvation. It is another thing to compare Him to a fantasy figure. That's just ridiculous. And as a former atheist, I'd have said the same thing if someone compared Gandhi or Churchill or any historical figure to a comic book character, or Crenshaw, for that matter.
This is why you can believe so many of God's people are out in Babylon, and just need some correct placement of information before them for things to click, as they shall take a stand; while many professed Christians will buckle and crumble when pressure and persecution comes.
Crenshaw has his political handlers who surely went to work creating spin and doing damage control and will try to right a capsizing boat. Good luck with that. He'll make an apology of some kind, saying he didn't have breakfast or something, and was feeling a bit grumpy. I don't know. Sorry, Dan. Apologize for your lack of understanding Jesus Christ and the Gospel but, substituting anything else will not, and should not fly.
If you are a professed Christian, and you think you can compare Jesus to another person in the human race, you are not yet a Christian. You do not know the Gospel. You have not truly accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour. If He can be compared to any other person, we do not have salvation from sin. Only the Creator could die for and pay the ransom for His entire creation. And no person, or group of persons, or the entire human race can compare to the Creator. Please.

482. Americans Irrevocably Split - January 19, 2022
"The survey of 1,016 U.S. Likely Voters was conducted on January 5, 2022 by the Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology."
https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/partner_surveys/jan_2022/covid_19_democratic_voters_support_harsh_measures_against_unvaccinated
What did that survey conclude? When it comes to Covid, Americans are irrevocably split. With all the information out there now, the studies, the medical professionals standing up, the discoveries of what the vaccines are and are not, the vitally poor efficacy of them, the numbers of people adversely effected and dying from them, the testimonies of people suffering adverse effects, their children suffering adverse effects, the information gathered and made public about Anthony Fauci, the CDC, the NIH, and all the rest, 48% of Democrat voters want the unvaccinated dealt with. Fine them. Force them. Keep them in their homes. Put them in holding facilities. The majority of Democrats have "jumped the shark." They have shown themselves to be the least critical-thinking group of Americans in the nation, operating from fear, not facts.
SCOTUS has once again jumped the shark, buying into the totalitarian BS, and allowing hospitals, the very institutions guided by laws to treat all the sick and infirmed, to allow these institutions to mandate the experimental "vaccines," thereby reducing hospital staffs to dangerous, crippling levels because of medical professionals who know the truth - Pharmaceutical companies cannot be trusted, the proof is out there for them to see every day for the last two years, especially since the injection roll-outs, and they are saying, "No!" to them, for good reasons. Yet, aside from those of us who have listened to the medical whistleblowers in nursing, and world-renowned doctors speaking out, for TWO YEARS now, SCOTUS not only helped violate the Nuremburg Code but, left an enormous door open for a corrupt Congress to just vote for OSHA to HAVE the authority to mandate vaccines, and then it can be made concrete. All SCOTUS did was state OSHA does not have the authorization. Okay, says the corrupt; We'll change that. We'll give them the authority, then we can mandate ALL businesses mandate injections.
SCOTUS is a whole other situation and story. I conclude they are being threatened by something. They are voting according to those threats, not the rule of law. Logic forces that belief upon me. Sotomayor is the brunt of political cartoonists. Roberts... the same, for different reasons. When I was growing up, those black robes stood for the highest understanding of the rule of law in the land. Today, they stand for the worst partisanship in the land.
As I have stated before, Satan loves conflict. He loves dividing and conquering. He loves seeing suffering of any kind. His agents also feel the same way. They care not for truth, obviously. They care not for logic and common sense. They care not for the rule of law. They care not for unity on principles guiding Americans but, rather, would see fearmongering authoritarians guide them into ditches. It is not the blind leading the blind. No, the totalitarians see quite clearly what they are doing. They planned, they executed, they maintain, and a third of Americans or more are radically in favor of taking away the rights of their fellow citizens.
Anyone who thinks this can be brought back to principles of Americanism for all because of the voting booth is in for a rude awakening. While some Republicans say, "Wait till November," as millions of independent voters stake their claim against radical Marxist, Leftist enemies of Constitutional liberty, and promise a blowout against Democrats; Republicans have already shown their constituents and the nation, when they had all three branches of law making and purse strings, they cannot be trusted, are do nothings, and nothing has changed. For all his faults, they fought against Trump for four years. Come November they are going to become freedom fighters for liberty? Seriously?
Signs just keep screaming and pushing; America is hopelessly divided. Expect to see massive migrations from Democrat run cities and states, leaving the Marxists to ruin what is left. Great states will be reduced to federal handouts for survival but, there is no way constituents of better states will sit still for higher federal taxes only to go to states that have made choices to destroy themselves, or will they?
You see, in the end, rights, liberty are not a vote. They are principles of and from God. If it is not understood as such, no true and real principle will run the nation. Only expedience for votes will. Even now, charlatan Conservatives are being used to gain confidence and votes, only to let constituents down when lawmaking begins for these liars and cheats.
No religious test is to be used to hold people against for achieving an elected office. That's the law. Yet, voters should be made aware somehow, that people running for office KNOW that they KNOW rights and liberty come from God, not man. Right now, no branch of government shows it understands that. That means none of us are safe from tyranny. None of us are protected. None of us are anything more than a vote for election and reelection. We are cannon fodder, nothing more.
Dismal outlook? Realistic. If I'm wrong, show me how. What proof would anyone show me Washington, D.C. is the not the most corrupt city on planet Earth? Oh, some would say, there are third-world cities far more corrupt. Are they? Which ones have the history and guiding principles to start with, that America has? When much is given, much is required. God holds D.C. to a higher standard because of what was from the beginning. That makes their corruption that much more detestable.
No heroes are coming from the citizenry. Certainly not Donald Trump. If rumors of Hillary Clinton running for POTUS are true, and this comes down to Hillary and Donald again, that is proof ignorance levels in America are at an all-time high.
God help us.

483. The Political Pandemic - January 20, 2022
That's what this event was from the start. It was always more a political event than a medical event.
I smelled the rat back in January of 2020 as soon as the msm began reporting on it. Quickly came the reports that the virus had a chain from North Carolina to Wuhan, China because of the moratorium on messing around with these dangerous things. All the players were known, the money trail, the "gain of function" research and "success" was known early on. The corporate media held their tight grip on as much as they could and "conspiracy theory" became such a common term it just lost its flavor like day-old gum. It seemed the truth would never become well-known enough to make a difference, though.
Then more and more doctors began speaking out, because of the very agencies meant to help. The WHO, the CDC, the NIH and Fauci, Birx and others flip-flopping, concealing, lying; which caused more research, which caused more doctors and medical professionals to speak out, as each stage of the plandemic was blown so far out of proportion by news media and the controllers, they shot themselves in the foot with their fearmongering; at least for those thinking critically.
The totalitarians made enormous mistakes. They were so confident of success they just left their paper trail out in the open; well, in this case, their internet trail. Not just experts but, medical trail blazers got involved, speaking out, and the more they got blasted, they more they spoke out, doing interviews all day long, all over the world.
Australia went full tilt stupidmaster, as well as New Zealand. Far too many other nations watching saw their hysteria on steroids and took notice: this is coming to a nation near you.
In America, Democrats and Republicans, once again, showed they are the same party, locking down the nation when all history and medical science said, NO!
All of it was for the pumping of the vaccines. That was the money-making golden goose; the doorway to riches, absolute control and power to bring in the New World Order, which was recast as The Great Reset. Even today these fools are talking about having to recast everything from money, to education, to manufacturing, to farming, to everything being changed to return to "normal."
Then came 2022, an election year in America. Americans so pissed off, the Democrats and those GOP members part of the plan, part of the fearmongering, the stupidity and ignorance and nefarious undermining of EVERYTHING being said, done and used to bring health to sick people, they are shaking in their boots they are toast, come November. But!, will that really change anything when Democrats lose the House and Senate? Let's say all the evidence of a steal in 2020 is brought to justice and Biden is out and Trump is back in, what will change in America? I would say, Nothing.
The one thing that is driving a knife in the heart of this disgusting creature is the worldwide web. If it were not for the internet, what is happening would not be. Democrats are retiring and refusing to run again, Boris Johnson has backed off on all Covid restrictions. Fauci just seems like an old man without a grip, just going through motions, as evidence is unraveling his despicable and cushy life. Logic says other nations will follow Johnson's lead. Too many have not been injected. Too many known the truth. Too many have risen up. It cannot be contained or controlled by fear. The handlers and controllers did not count on the various elements of medical help that came along: Hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin, Zinc, and other easily obtained articles of treatment in the hands of real and true doctors, that began to beat back the bioweapon. Actually, they did know about Hydroxy. The paper trail shows that.
I'm not stating this is all over. No, no. I am just just stating the political nature of this event is just rearing its ugly head so obviously, it's sickening. In America, Democrats attained full control of the federal government by criminal activity, which more than half of Americans now see took place. The complicit press has failed. Their corporate controlled mimicry of words, phrases and Parakeet-speak, all failed. Epic fail upon far too many Americans to keep control of the event. Far too many already had zip for confidence in them already, myself included. 9/11 took care of that for me.
Australia, and the rest of the gang intent on bringing in the great reset, have lost the momentum provided by their decades of planning and execution. They may have to back off. Maybe. The lunatics in control may just destroy their entire continent. Time will soon tell. The same for Austria, New Zealand, Canada and other nations quickly pushing for mandatory injection. But, that cat is out of the bag, the horses are out of the barn and BILLIONS are awake.
One thing remains: control of the internet. If they cannot gain control of that, they now see any plans are open to inspection and revelation and exposing and failure. You cannot piss off billions of people and expect to win. If you can fake them out, you have a shot but, you cannot make them angry and expect them all to just sit and take it. Maybe in Communist nations, which is why it is being pushed so hard in America. First Socialism, Fascism, then full-blown totalitarianism. That said, I cannot and will not leave out the Creator and Sovereign of all. God has His plans, as well. Far more precise, far more compelling, and eternally important.
What God has done in all this I don't know. Factually, what Satan has done is equally foggy to figure out, save for knowing it includes deception. The professed Christian world sees all this as "the Beast" and "the mark," and other aspects of prophecy. They are wrong, and the confusion will only make things worse. A "cry wolf" situation is ultimately coming, leaving multitudes to, once again, lose confidence in God's word, which is always a win for Lucifer. We all know, as far as Christendom is concerned, Christ shall return some day, probably soon. How soon? Nobody knows. Doesn't matter what they say, nobody knows. Events unravel and for me, I have been disheartened and dismayed to see things happen as they as they have in the last 20 years. Detours have arisen. Major detours. Believers know the detours of Scripture. The 40 year wilderness wandering being the most well-known but, there are plenty of them in the biblical timeline.
Catholics don't talk much, if at all, about the second coming. Protestants have mispredicted the event numerous times and are doing it right now with this event. Despite the lack of interest or the overrun zeal for it, Christ will return. As He works to pull together a remnant, able to take the final stand, events will continue to tell us the time is nearing.
Right now, the political pandemic seems to be reaching its end. The planners will continue to plan. Remember, half of the world is injected with who knows what, capable of doing who knows what, aside from what is being seen throughout the human race: dozens of adverse events, including death. The human heart and bloodstream seem to be the biggest targets at present but, dozens of other threats continue to be exposed, connected to these toxic death shots.
Even if the Planners pull back, this event is not done. Unless medical research can find a remedy for the toxic injections, grief, such as the world has never seen, is coming. The thing is, now the world knows who to blame, and bet on that: they will blame and go after those responsible.
It almost seems another French Revolution is coming. Another Dark Ages. We'll see how God handles that. He is never without an infinite plan, an infinite way of escaping Satan's traps.
For now, the Political Plandemic has been exposed. It's an election year and reelection is all that matters. Good luck to Democrats at the polls. They played such a bad hand, with such evil in their cards, they deserve what is coming, and more, if an actual justice system gets involved. I won't hold my breath on that one. I expect the GOP to win big. It doesn't matter. It will slow down the death of America. It will not stop it. Prophecy has predicted that so, it is going to happen.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

484. This is How Confusion Works - January 20, 2022
A Friend just sent me an email and titled it "Babylon." Indeed.
https://usamagazinestudio.com/new-world-order-religious-headquarters-looks-to-open-up-2022/
Now, watch how this works.
"New World Order Religious Headquarters Looks To Open Up 2022"
"The Bible is very clear when it comes to the great apostasy that is to come to the earth in the last days and it appears as if we are in the midst of the great apostasy.
"In I Timothy the Bible says “now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons”, one of those deceptive doctrines that is roaming the earth is the idea that all religions can “coexist”.
1. Appeal to the Bible, which speaks of a departure from the faith. True.
2. Appeal to 1 Timothy for details. Half truth. Confusion.
3. The passage in Timothy has more to say, and does not say anything about the coexistence of all religions. Here is what is does state:

1. This kind of Kumbaya has been going on for decades.
2. What does the text actually state? *Forbidding to marry and *commanding to abstain from foods which God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who know the truth.
The Roman Catholic Church, since the eleventh century has forbid its priesthood and nuns to marry. Scripture is silent on any such mandate, save for Paul stating he believed it was right for him to remain unmarried and if others chose to, well but, better to marry than to burn with passion all the time (1 Cor. 7) Considering he was a member of the Sanhedrin, it was Jewish law that all such had to be married. Concluding Paul was married would not be unreasonable. It was also Jewish practice that becoming a Christian was anathema, to the extent families held burial services for those who did. A convert was dead them. Paul's wife and her family would have been shocked such a promising young member of their sacred institutions should abandon his faith. Celibacy is a Roman Catholic law, not a law given by God. It is a man-made tradition, which the RCC itself, did not practice. Peter was married. The Bible says so. Tradition over the word of God = Babylon.
The Roman Catholic Church, for centuries has commanded fasting on its religious calendar, and more so, commanding to abstain from meat on Friday's, a practice I grew up with. If it's Friday, it's fish sticks, or a trip to the local seafood restaurant. Amazingly enough, God did and has placed a total prohibition on consuming certain creatures of the waters. That which has fins and scales is edible. That which does not are scavengers and not considered food by God. Praying over anything God calls an unclean creature cannot make it usable for food, regardless of culture or appetite. You can pray over a bat all day long and that will never make it food in God's eyes or according to His word. The Creator gets to term "food," not us, the creatures. So, the RCC twists God's requirements, creates confusion, and thereby, along with dozens of other signs and marks, is rightly called Babylon, the Mother of Harlots.
The article completely misses or sidesteps the two central marks Paul chose to name in the whole passage.
That is how Babylon works. Confusion results from not allowing the Bible to interpret itself. Men add and/or take away and everything hits fog banks and error.
Obviously such a building complex is a sign of what Babylon does but, it is not necessarily a mark of who or what prophetic, spiritual Babylon is. There's a difference.
Babylon, the Mother, is the Roman Catholic Church system and its Papacy and Vatican. The Harlots of Mother are those religious institutions and people who follow Mother's teachings and traditions and exist in confusion as a result. Babylon is also made up of the "kings of the Earth." We should notice this building complex is to be placed in the United Arab Emerates. The kings are those who fornicate with her. They do not seek to marry her, for she claims she is married to Christ. Yet, she fornicates and commits adultery as she has taken in their pagan traditions and doctrines for centuries, as she perverted the faith once delivered to the saints. She fell centuries ago. Her daughters have fallen since they began to reject light that came to them down through the centuries and especially since the close of the 2300 year prophecy of Daniel 8 and 9. The three angel's messages of Rev 14 contains the final messages of warning to a dying world, along with the final message of Rev 18, to come out of Babylon.
It is not difficult to understand. It may be hard to see and realize where one is in Babylon but, hope is there to call them out, onto the platform of eternal truth and make a stand.
Far more confusion is coming. The father of lies will see to that. Truth will triumph, and those who believe and practice it, will triumph with it.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Now, watch how this works.
"New World Order Religious Headquarters Looks To Open Up 2022"
"The Bible is very clear when it comes to the great apostasy that is to come to the earth in the last days and it appears as if we are in the midst of the great apostasy.
"In I Timothy the Bible says “now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons”, one of those deceptive doctrines that is roaming the earth is the idea that all religions can “coexist”.
1. Appeal to the Bible, which speaks of a departure from the faith. True.
2. Appeal to 1 Timothy for details. Half truth. Confusion.
3. The passage in Timothy has more to say, and does not say anything about the coexistence of all religions. Here is what is does state:
1Tim 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1Tim 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
1Tim 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats [broma - foods], which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

485. Is YouTube deity? - January 21, 2022
I have had a YouTube channel for many years now. I've never been very active with it and it's all about drums and drumming. I'm always planning on posting new things and time just sails by.
YouTube is owned by gargantuan Google. It's run by devout, even radical Leftists. I don't know as it was in its beginnings. Today? Zero doubt.
Is YouTube deity? The question seems rather moot, I know. Silly. Nonsensical. Foolish.
Here's the thing. I came upon a link to a column by Conservative pundit, Todd Starnes.
https://www.toddstarnes.com/faith/youtube-pastor-macarthurs-sermon-is-hate-speech/
Apparently, well-known minister, John MacArthur, preached a sermon on human sexuality. He stated in the sermon people are either XX or XY. That's the science. No other chromosomal evidence beyond male or female.
YT called it hate speech and took down the sermon or edited out what "they" didn't like.
“Our team has reviewed your content, and, unfortunately, we think it violates our hate speech policy,” YouTube wrote to me. “We’ve removed the following content from YouTube: ‘There is no such thing as transgender. You are either XX or XY. That’s it. – Pastor John MacArthur.'”
Right away one should ask, Does the YT team know or don't they know if MacArthur's statement is true, and if it is hateful to state it? They think it is hate speech. That's how they think. Don't they know? Hate speech comes from hate, yes? Logically, then, John MacArthur hates anyone who disagrees with the science of human sexuality. Did the YT team, does the YT team have the ability to get into MacArthur's mind and know if he hates anyone? Only deity can do that. Unless MacArthur makes a statement he hates someone or some thing, how can anyone know what is a "hateful" statement from him? Because it offends some people? Jesus Christ offended people every single day of His ministry. I guess the YT team would censor Him, too, then, were He to be here and walk among mankind today, and post something on YT, which would surely tick a lot of people off?
Science is not hateful. Scientists can be. Anyone can be. But, there must be evidence. YT claims MacArthur's scientific statement is hateful. The evidence is on his side, though. That means YT is calling the science hate speech?
Let's take it that step further. Ministers were asked to preach sermons on human sexuality, protesting Canada's law that things said against the LGBT, etc., movement can be constituted as hate speech, and ministries can no longer work with those who want to leave the homosexual way of life.
If you preach a sermon on human sexuality somebody is going to get their toes stepped on. Immoral/impure thoughts, fornication, adultery, homosexuality, body mutilation... plenty of toes under the weight of biblical truth and conviction of sin. So, if the YT team claims they think MacArthur's sermon contained hate speech because he claimed science states there are only two sexes, can the YT team think and claim any and all sermons containing speech against sexual sin is hate speech and censor it?
Take it a step further. It the YT team thinks any sermon contains a message against anything or anyone practicing sin, as the Bible states what is sin - sin is transgression of the law - who may surely be offended by it, can they call it hate speech and censor it? Perhaps hate dogma? How about hate stuff? Everything that offends anyone can be called "hate stuff." Can Google censor biblical Christianity as hate stuff? Can YT censor the Bible? Sure. They are a private company. They can do what they want; be as reckless and dangerous and foolish as their team and policies dictate.
The fact that any kind of social platform site would do this, in America, shows why I constantly talk about prophetic detours. America has been thought of as a Christian nation. You know I disagree with the term. A nation with mostly, many, few or no Christians would be more appropriate. America cannot be a Christian nation because Jesus Christ is not named in any documents of law and authority the nation was founded upon. Plus, He specifically stated His kingdom is not of this world. No nation can be a Christian nation. Christians are ambassadors for Christ. America does not, or did not penalize anyone for the way they think. Jesus said if you look at a woman with lust in your heart you have already committed adultery. Does anyone want government; politicians, judges, police, attempting to arrest, try, convict and sentence people for the way they think???
That said, most Americans have professed the Christian faith, in some form or other, for more than a couple centuries but, things are changing. Things have changed. We all see it. Even atheists see it and drool.
I believe America is the second beast of Revelation 13 for very precise reasons. I have outlined them. America has a prophetic destiny. America is on a detour. America is a mess. Canada is becoming another Australia. Radical Leftists are trying to accomplish the same thing in America. The whole world is a mess.
If ministers preach sermons on the Ten Commandments and millions are offended, can we expect Christians to be persecuted by law? Looks that way. It already happens in Islamic or Buddhist nations, or totally secularized nations. Sweden, England, other nations are now persecuting Christians for their beliefs.
The devil will keep things moving in this direction as long as it works. The final dog and pony show can be delayed. He'd as soon the entire world become atheist. The way things are going he may get pretty close.
Nobody but God knows where things are currently heading to a pivotal end. Another dark ages, this time of technocracy? Or, shall it finally reach the place where the false revival comes in and the final deceptions take place, and the final rebellion, by professed believers, against the law of God?
Watch and see. Either way it's going to get ugly. And that's the interesting thing.
Right now, legal agencies are out there to help and defend Christians from harassment, oppression and persecution by godless government and businesses. What will happen when Christians are faced with a message and a people that are not only unpopular with the godless but, also the professed Christian churches? Will they defend Sabbath keepers being persecuted for their faith? I'd say some will, and see the truth as a result but, most will not. You see, a worldwide super-church is on the way, made up of any and all beliefs believing all paths lead to the same god. Check it out for yourself. Plenty of professed Christian churches are already a part of that movement and, you don't have to join it. You just need to cooperate with it or, just stay quiet about it. The mark of the beast is both in the forehead, in the frontal lobes, in the seat of critical thinking, judgment and reason, and also in the hand; that which is necessary to work, to make agreements, do just go along, to get along. The entire world will be in a camp standing against God for various and specific reasons; while a small remnant stands against the worldwide rebellion and apostasy for the same.
I don't have to guess where Google will stand. Their team has made that pretty plain. They have become an antichrist, putting themselves "in place of Christ." They are judging character and thoughts and censoring free speech. Even God allows mankind to say things they may or will regret and not censor them. Look at Google. He has not struck them down for being so confused and hateful towards His people.
Liberty and freedom of conscience are gifts from the Creator. No matter how things go in the near future, they'll be taken away from those who become a thorn in the world's side. Guilty of "hate stuff."
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

486. Who's Your Gatekeeper? - January 22, 2022
Who are your gatekeepers?
Gatekeeper
noun
1. a person in charge of a gate, usually to identify, count, supervise, etc., the traffic that flows through it.
2. a person or thing that controls access, as to information, often acting as an arbiter of quality or legitimacy:
Treating office gatekeepers with respect will improve your chances of scheduling a face-to-face meeting or job interview.
An open internet allows innovators to bypass traditional gatekeepers and promote their work on its own merit.
3. a guardian; monitor:
the gatekeepers of Western culture.
Every civilization has gatekeepers of some kind; those who monitor things and keeps things along a certain line of information. Religious gatekeepers are the most common, as well as political gatekeepers. Those with the most money are gatekeepers, by controlling, through various ways and means, those who present information to the citizenry.
Generally fathers are gatekeepers or have been in most civilizations with family structures. In civilized societies, the adage of: 'behind every good man is a good woman,' has been a normal ebb and flow of family life; the life of communities and nations.
Every subject develops gatekeepers. Doesn't matter what it is. Pick something. Religion, politics, sports, science, history, food, banking and commodities, and all the subdivisions of any and all of them; gatekeepers exist.
Gatekeepers are the people who others go to and ask - Is this true? Those who trust gatekeepers arrange their lives around those individuals or groups of individuals.
"The most trusted man in news." Ever hear that phrase? I heard it all the time growing up. Look it up. A man by the name of Walter Cronkite, an evening news anchor for CBS, was hailed the most trusted man giving the news every night. Watching the nightly news was almost like watching any other program on TV. It was the first show on the family's evening viewing list.
None of us regular folks out there, watching Cronkite, knew he was a globalist. We only remember how he cried when Americans landed on the moon.
Dan Rather was a gatekeeper. Another newsman. "No Mr. President. Are you?" That was his claim to fame or infamy, depending on one's political stripe. Cronkite did not have an either/or-type following. Rather did. Acting like that with a President in a televised news conference was a solid left hand uppercut or punch below the belt, depending on who you were and what you believed.
Unfortunately, the gatekeeper, himself, fell into infamy for just about everyone, by falsifying reports of another president. It sank his career on the nightly news. Today, careers are made and elevated by creating false news in the most appealing way possible. Professional lying news. Go figure.
Today, anyone with an IQ knows the main stream news is a biased, controlling gatekeeper in society. That has been proven so many times, in so many ways, it is only questioned by those in ignorance, not exposed to the truth or in denial of it. Millions are in denial and trust those who tell them what's going on in the world, night after night; ill-informed because the gatekeepers are owned by other, larger gatekeepers.
Who are the world's gatekeepers right now? The tech censors are certainly gatekeepers. They are controlling access to minds for information they consider a narrative that must be kept in play, out front, considered as truth. Anthony Fauci must be the gatekeeper for health. The Democrat Party must be the ruling class. Globalists must be the right side of all questions and everything else is a "conspiracy theory." gatekeeper Google. Who'd have thought the people behind a search engine could attain such power and control?
The international corporate controlled media outlets are gatekeepers. Television network news, main stream media companies, etc. are the biggest gatekeepers. Money is the biggest gatekeeper on the planet, as far as the multitudes are concerned. Those with the most money have the most say in what is seen and heard.
Think about the volcano in Tonga. If it were not for gatekeepers considering that important news, would you know about it? I wouldn't. The information would travel around and sooner or later I'd hear about the biggest volcano in the last 30 years. It was so big and powerful a possible tsunami was called a warning for the west coast of the USA, thousands of miles away. We all saw that. Why? Because it has/had possible impacts for hundreds of millions of people but, that is not the real reason, is it? No. Because the "vaccines" are having an impact on all humanity; 7.5 BILLION people will be impacted in some way by this entire Covid event and gatekeepers have worked hard for decades planning this event, executing the event and controlling access to information about every aspect of the event to insure its success. The number of billionaires created by the event means it was successful for them. And as long as the gatekeepers can control access to information, their "cha-chings" will keep on chiming, as their bank accounts increase. Those already billionaires are happy their plans have succeeded, even though a host of information outlets have arisen and exist to keep people informed with truth, not controlled by money but, by facts and data and reason and evidence. In some cases, the Gatekeepers are losing control of the gate. Thank God, for that.
For billions, deity is the ultimate Gatekeeper. For Jews and Christians, Jehovah is the first and last Gatekeeper. The Bible is their gatekeeper; the Old and New Testaments. It is the arbiter of truth. All information is filtered through its safety valves of 40 authors, writing 66 books and letters, covering a period of 1500 years.
I would have to say the only reason I knew something was amiss with the reporting of the beginning of the virus event was my 40 year exposure to Scripture and Bible prophecy, as well as my exposure to the problems with the "official" news coverage of various events down through the last few decades. I knew nothing of the players involved. I knew nothing of all the evidence. I just knew something was wrong in what was being reported. The Bible gave me that warning system within. As information became available, past the big gatekeepers, my feelings were backed up by evidence. Then the whole thing became riddled with holes and inadequacies of the official story; another "official" story exposed as a fraud.
The issue of who and what is your gatekeeper is vital today. Nothing can be more important to every person on the planet. If you do not have a gatekeeper you can seriously trust, you're in trouble. Even taking out aspects of eternal life, you're in trouble for temporary matters involved in the war for control of Earth right now. There are companies that have more power and control than governments and nations. There is nothing we can do about such levels of power. They have gates that cannot be brought down by typical human means. Circumstances may develop and take some down. It's nothing I'll figure out and execute sitting here in my living room, that's for sure. That's all God stuff. He can handle that.
Christ said the gates of hell shall not prevail against His church; His body of people "called out" from the influences of the world and entering His kingdom. Everything else is a question mark. Ultimately, everything else shall be prevailed against by "the ruler of this world." He is the gatekeeper of this world's flow of information and only that which is of God can blast through any walls of lies he puts up and controls things with. Lucifer, the prince of this world, the father of lies, the murderer from the beginning, the prince of the power of the air, the angel of light at work to deceive and keep people deceived, is the principle gatekeeper on Earth.
I know, I know. In today's world of technology and "science" such a proposition sounds like some video or board game. An ancient collection of writings from people who mostly never met or knew each other, with a central Character that is the Savior of mankind. I always thought it was nonsense, until I came upon Bible prophecy. There was no way to get around that. There were no atheistic answers to get around the accuracy of things predicted which came to pass centuries, millennia after the predictions. Science cannot explain that, nor explain it away. Something has to, though. It exists. It has to be addressed.
You may get Covid, you may not. Maybe you already have had it. You know you already have sin. Everybody has that. Without a remedy, you're dead. We will all die from the effects of sin. We shall all rise in one of two resurrections. Some will live forever. The rest will be destroyed from existence by the infinite character and presence of God.
Some people think this life is all there is. Some gatekeeper told them that.
Pick a Gatekeeper you can trust, and hang on. It's going to be a bumpy ride nobody escapes.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Those with the most money are gatekeepers, by controlling, through various ways and means, those who present information to the citizenry.
Generally fathers are gatekeepers or have been in most civilizations with family structures. In civilized societies, the adage of: 'behind every good man is a good woman,' has been a normal ebb and flow of family life; the life of communities and nations.
Every subject develops gatekeepers. Doesn't matter what it is. Pick something. Religion, politics, sports, science, history, food, banking and commodities, and all the subdivisions of any and all of them; gatekeepers exist.
Gatekeepers are the people who others go to and ask - Is this true? Those who trust gatekeepers arrange their lives around those individuals or groups of individuals.
"The most trusted man in news." Ever hear that phrase? I heard it all the time growing up. Look it up. A man by the name of Walter Cronkite, an evening news anchor for CBS, was hailed the most trusted man giving the news every night. Watching the nightly news was almost like watching any other program on TV. It was the first show on the family's evening viewing list.
None of us regular folks out there, watching Cronkite, knew he was a globalist. We only remember how he cried when Americans landed on the moon.
Dan Rather was a gatekeeper. Another newsman. "No Mr. President. Are you?" That was his claim to fame or infamy, depending on one's political stripe. Cronkite did not have an either/or-type following. Rather did. Acting like that with a President in a televised news conference was a solid left hand uppercut or punch below the belt, depending on who you were and what you believed.
Unfortunately, the gatekeeper, himself, fell into infamy for just about everyone, by falsifying reports of another president. It sank his career on the nightly news. Today, careers are made and elevated by creating false news in the most appealing way possible. Professional lying news. Go figure.
Today, anyone with an IQ knows the main stream news is a biased, controlling gatekeeper in society. That has been proven so many times, in so many ways, it is only questioned by those in ignorance, not exposed to the truth or in denial of it. Millions are in denial and trust those who tell them what's going on in the world, night after night; ill-informed because the gatekeepers are owned by other, larger gatekeepers.
Who are the world's gatekeepers right now? The tech censors are certainly gatekeepers. They are controlling access to minds for information they consider a narrative that must be kept in play, out front, considered as truth. Anthony Fauci must be the gatekeeper for health. The Democrat Party must be the ruling class. Globalists must be the right side of all questions and everything else is a "conspiracy theory." gatekeeper Google. Who'd have thought the people behind a search engine could attain such power and control?
The international corporate controlled media outlets are gatekeepers. Television network news, main stream media companies, etc. are the biggest gatekeepers. Money is the biggest gatekeeper on the planet, as far as the multitudes are concerned. Those with the most money have the most say in what is seen and heard.
Think about the volcano in Tonga. If it were not for gatekeepers considering that important news, would you know about it? I wouldn't. The information would travel around and sooner or later I'd hear about the biggest volcano in the last 30 years. It was so big and powerful a possible tsunami was called a warning for the west coast of the USA, thousands of miles away. We all saw that. Why? Because it has/had possible impacts for hundreds of millions of people but, that is not the real reason, is it? No. Because the "vaccines" are having an impact on all humanity; 7.5 BILLION people will be impacted in some way by this entire Covid event and gatekeepers have worked hard for decades planning this event, executing the event and controlling access to information about every aspect of the event to insure its success. The number of billionaires created by the event means it was successful for them. And as long as the gatekeepers can control access to information, their "cha-chings" will keep on chiming, as their bank accounts increase. Those already billionaires are happy their plans have succeeded, even though a host of information outlets have arisen and exist to keep people informed with truth, not controlled by money but, by facts and data and reason and evidence. In some cases, the Gatekeepers are losing control of the gate. Thank God, for that.
For billions, deity is the ultimate Gatekeeper. For Jews and Christians, Jehovah is the first and last Gatekeeper. The Bible is their gatekeeper; the Old and New Testaments. It is the arbiter of truth. All information is filtered through its safety valves of 40 authors, writing 66 books and letters, covering a period of 1500 years.
I would have to say the only reason I knew something was amiss with the reporting of the beginning of the virus event was my 40 year exposure to Scripture and Bible prophecy, as well as my exposure to the problems with the "official" news coverage of various events down through the last few decades. I knew nothing of the players involved. I knew nothing of all the evidence. I just knew something was wrong in what was being reported. The Bible gave me that warning system within. As information became available, past the big gatekeepers, my feelings were backed up by evidence. Then the whole thing became riddled with holes and inadequacies of the official story; another "official" story exposed as a fraud.
The issue of who and what is your gatekeeper is vital today. Nothing can be more important to every person on the planet. If you do not have a gatekeeper you can seriously trust, you're in trouble. Even taking out aspects of eternal life, you're in trouble for temporary matters involved in the war for control of Earth right now. There are companies that have more power and control than governments and nations. There is nothing we can do about such levels of power. They have gates that cannot be brought down by typical human means. Circumstances may develop and take some down. It's nothing I'll figure out and execute sitting here in my living room, that's for sure. That's all God stuff. He can handle that.
Christ said the gates of hell shall not prevail against His church; His body of people "called out" from the influences of the world and entering His kingdom. Everything else is a question mark. Ultimately, everything else shall be prevailed against by "the ruler of this world." He is the gatekeeper of this world's flow of information and only that which is of God can blast through any walls of lies he puts up and controls things with. Lucifer, the prince of this world, the father of lies, the murderer from the beginning, the prince of the power of the air, the angel of light at work to deceive and keep people deceived, is the principle gatekeeper on Earth.
I know, I know. In today's world of technology and "science" such a proposition sounds like some video or board game. An ancient collection of writings from people who mostly never met or knew each other, with a central Character that is the Savior of mankind. I always thought it was nonsense, until I came upon Bible prophecy. There was no way to get around that. There were no atheistic answers to get around the accuracy of things predicted which came to pass centuries, millennia after the predictions. Science cannot explain that, nor explain it away. Something has to, though. It exists. It has to be addressed.
You may get Covid, you may not. Maybe you already have had it. You know you already have sin. Everybody has that. Without a remedy, you're dead. We will all die from the effects of sin. We shall all rise in one of two resurrections. Some will live forever. The rest will be destroyed from existence by the infinite character and presence of God.
Some people think this life is all there is. Some gatekeeper told them that.
Pick a Gatekeeper you can trust, and hang on. It's going to be a bumpy ride nobody escapes.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

487. Project Serpo - January 24, 2022
As I have shared in previous posts, there are a number of reasons why I have come to believe "ET" will be used as a major deception in the last days. Over the last, almost 43 years now, I have come upon information that convinces me, more and more, my observations and convictions about this matter remain quite true. Only time will tell, of course. I'm not a prophet.
Again, when I use "ET" context is important. Yes, I believe in life beyond Earth. No, I do not believe we have been visited by life forms beyond Earth, save for angels, both good and evil. No, I obviously do not believe any life forms beyond this Earth are a danger to mankind, save for fallen angels. This is all based on my study of the Bible, and what Scripture states about anything that can be related to the subjects of "ET" and UFOlogy. So, when I state "ET" will be used as a last-day deception, I mean the subject, and however the father of lies chooses to portray "ET."
As I have written before, UFOlogy contains those who believe they are communicating with Extra-Terrestrials, generally benevolent beings but, they warn of dangerous threats from other worlds and other beings, as well. For me, that's a red flag. The Bible states the 99 sheep back in the pasture are just fine. One is lost. The Good Shepherd goes after it. Christ is the Shepherd. Earth, we are the lost sheep. The 99 are others that do not need salvation. Well, that counts out everybody on Earth because all have sinned and need salvation from the power and penalty of sin. Then, who are the 99? There is only one logical conclusion. But, that also means, by the parables themselves, that everybody else out there are in harmony with their Creator. There are no other-worldly species bent on destruction of worlds. That's Lucifer. That's a third of the angels who rebelled with him, as far as the Bible is concerned; not "ETs."
So, for me, and millions of Bible-believing people believing we are not alone in this vast universe, UFOlogy presents a perversion of the truth. As fascinating as the subject is, and with all the sightings and "abductions" and cattle mutilations and crop circles, and military testimonies, etc., Satan has been busy for centuries preparing the use of it all for last-day deceptions. God can keep all worlds notified in ways we cannot imagine, what transpires on Earth. None need come here, and I choose to believe God commands they do not come here. The only "aliens" that come here are God's angels and those angels that have followed Lucifer in His rebellion.
My wife tells me I need to constantly make that point clear or readers will be confused. So be it.
Hang in with me and take a look at another crate of information I came across to convince me about this.
Recently I came upon a web site about 'Project Serpo.' Those who are avid UFOlogists know of it. It was new to me. I spent a couple days looking at 60 pages of materials relating to the project.
Based on things I have shared about prophecy and last day events, if I asked you to guess what religion, what church "ET" has had contact with, care to guess?
If I asked you to guess what story of origins "ET" favors, care to guess?
The Project Serpo website just offered me more information on why I believe what I do about the use of "ET" for future deceptions, and it is on target.
Here's the website link: http://www.serpo.org/index.php
In a nutshell: aliens, from planet Serpo, crashed in NM. One survived. Named EBE #1 (Extra-terrestrial Biologic Entity), or ETE (Extra-Terrestrial Entity), it was studied, and as communication developed an exchange program was undertaken. Twelve Americans from three military forces would travel to Serpo for 10 years and return to Earth. The exchange took place in 1965. Some of the 12 returned in 1978. The last of the 12 died in 2014. Two stayed behind. Two perished. Eight returned.
The DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency), and the USG (United States Government) in general, have determined to begin releasing information regarding "ET" in a gradual process to condition Americans, as other governments condition their citizens, to realize life beyond Earth does exist, has visited Earth for "millions" of years, and we need to get on board with the rest of the galaxy.
Information from the website stops in 2016. The last shared visit of the Ebens, as they are termed, was supposedly in 2012, if I read correctly. Things are ramping up for full disclosure.
Certain things I read at the site are listed below, with some comments marked with a double asterisks **. You'll forgive me for not copying and pasting the individual pages the info is taken from. Once I hit pertinent info I was looking for and knew I would find, I just plowed through the pages. In some quotes the administrators of the site have placed links to various site pages for more information so, those will have to suffice. If you choose to go to the site, some site navigation may help you to track down the passages I've chosen to comment upon. They all come from a 60 page section of the site entitled "INFO RELEASES" - http://www.serpo.org/releases.php
Bare in mind, I see no logical way to determine the veracity and authenticity or truth of any of this information. Just like UFOlogy, itself, there is no way to know who to trust, what photos or videos are real, what testimonies are real and truthful, etc. A tremendous amount of faith must be extended to accept everything out there, especially when things considered true turn out to be fraudulent, and today with CGI and drones, it just makes it all the more difficult. "I want to believe" is a very common statement made by UFO enthusiasts. They just have not seen the fulness of actual proof necessary: their eyes upon an extra-terrestrial being that traveled here from another world. Testimonies, film, video, photos, literally tens, if not hundreds of thousands of them over 8 decades, as well as paintings down through the centuries, are all great but, they are not "proof." The testimony of scientists and media experts and all the rest of them, are people who may or may not be sincere, who have or have not experienced what they claim, and explanations for whatever they have seen or experienced may be known or unknown. It's all a barrel of information that could as easily be misinformation and disinformation, as true information. Who can be trusted, when I believe an Adversary is out there trying to deceive me and destroy me?
I saw 9/11. I watched towers collapse at free-fall speed. I have watched dozens of documentaries with camera angles from people all around NYC, as well as the Pentagon, and testimonies from people around Shanksville, and the Pentegon, and in NYC, even in the buildings. The characters, the paper trails, the money trails, and all that tells me the "official" story is BS. Whatever, whoever was involved, some radical Islamic militants did not take down three buildings in NYC with two airplanes and some fires. The official story is just as much a conspiracy theory as any other position out there. It's just more unbelievable.
I don't need to have any "proof" of "ET." I already believe life exists beyond Earth based on the testimony of Scripture, as I have shared. While that information can be called allusions or implications, they are sound enough to draw a logical conclusion. Life beyond Earth exists.
I believe the basic events within the history of UFOlogy have taken place, take place, will take place. I believe Lucifer has undertaken a campaign of deception geared to ultimately deceive the entire global populace for rebellion against God and His Word, which will lead to the end of the world as we know it. Earth's governments are involved, Hollywood is involved, many different agencies and players are involved. I have no burden to get into all the details. I'll leave that to the Readers of this.
So, let's take a look. Remember, these are selected passages from the INFO RELEASE section, containing 60 pages. My comments are preceded with **.
"http://www.serpo.org/release10.php
"QUESTION: What do you make of what Ebe #1 allegedly said about Mankind being genetically altered throughout time and that they established religions and Christ in particular on our planet? [An idea that was popularized in the 1989 bestseller, "The Gods of Eden" by William Bramley, ISBN# 0380718073]
"ANONYMOUS: If one reads the "Yellow Book" [the true and correct history of Mankind as relayed by the ETEs] and reads between the lines, one would come away with the thought and clear impression that the Ebens had something to do with Jesus Christ or, possibly, Jesus was one of them.
"Also, if you look at some events that are shown in the "Yellow Book," (remember, there are no dates shown in the "Yellow Book"), you can connect some incidents, such as Fatima, etc., with an Eben landing."
**As a Bible-believing Christian, as someone who has experienced being born-again and a radical, life-changing experience, you can imagine the Red flags and bells that went off when I read that. Do not miss the serious implications here. ALL humanity is going to be faced with choosing a "truth." Either choosing God and His Word as it interprets itself, or "ETs" version of things. There is God's book, the Bible. Or, there is "ETs" Yellow Book, an 8x11 translucent device that when placed close to the eyes begins to flash the history of everything. It's an impossible "book" to read. You can be exposed to it for 12 hours and stop. When you attempt to read again, it begins from the beginning. You cannot pick up where you left off. You must start from scratch again and when hour 13 begins, you'll get new information. Comments about it taking a lifetime to ingest the book are moot. Nobody has done it.
**Sometime back I wrote a post about Jesus being an alien. Technically, coming from Heaven, coming from another dimension, He was an alien to us. BUT!!! being "ET?" NOT.
**First hint for me. Fatima? Fatima, a Roman Catholic event, connected to an Eben landing? Here we go...
**From the commander of the exchange's diary:
"661 suggests we make up a calendar and a time system as long as we are here. Good idea, he will do that. The calendar will run on a seven day system. We will use our wristwatches to gauge a 24 hour period and then consider that one day.
**I found that interesting. Why seven days? Because Earth is set up for that cycle? I have asked the rhetorical question here before; why is civilization set up around the world on a seven-day cycle? Because that is what God, the Creator, set up. The astronauts chose a seven-day cycle calendar for a planet and populace that became obvious to them, did not function on a 24 hour-a-day, seven-day weekly cycle. Remember the final issues in the prophetic battle. The Seal of God versus the Mark of the Beast. The Seal is God's seventh-day Sabbath. The Mark of the RCC's claimed power and authority is changing the Sabbath to Sunday; God's fourth commandment to the RCC's third, in its doctrinal position of the moral law. Lucifer is not trying to change the weekly cycle. He's has perverted how it is to be regarded.
**President Reagan briefing, Camp David, 1981. A very interesting Read found on page 27a.
"During our initial program to study the alien's spaceship, we started many different projects. The first project, originally established in 1949, was to collect and evaluate medical information from the surviving alien creature -- EBE 1 and the recovered alien bodies. This project medically examined EBE 1 and provided our medical researchers with many answers to the evolution theories."
**Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!!! Oh, yes. The site is saturated with information about the Big Bang and macro-evolution, materialism, naturalism, all backed up by "ET." ORIGINS is on display from one aspect only. The confusion is almost outrageous, if it weren't so sad. Lucifer hates the Sabbath, the memorial of creation. With all his power, he cannot create from nothing. "I would be like the most High." Yeah, not happening. He can pervert, he can create from creation but, fiat creation? Nope. Logically, then, the premise of Naturalism, Materialism, Evolution all presided over by a deity which is the Universe, fits the ET deception quite well. For "ET" the universe is an entity. It is god. It is sentient. It is life. Oh, but it gets more involved than that.
**Pope Benedicts USA visit, 2008
"ALL visitations occurred at the sprawling Groom Lake Complex. During each visit, a representative from the Vatican WAS present. The pope was particularly interested in the religious activity of the Ebens. The Ebens worship a God. The pope feels their God is the same as ours. The Ebens worship God differently, but NOT so much. In fact, OSG brought artifacts of the Ebens' God that fits directly into OUR [Christian] God.
"Several Eben paintings, sculptured statutes and carved fetishes were similar to our God. In fact, the story of their God -- appearing thousands of years ago on SERPO and setting up religious sects on their planet -- is similar to our story of Jesus. The Ebens chant verses, which, when translated, are similar to OUR prayers. The Eben chants contain 26 verses which they repeat every day at their prayer hour, which is in the afternoon (SERPO day).
"The chants sound like Tibetan chants. On a particular Eben day of their year, the Ebens expand the chants to 38 verses. The extra 12 chants pertain to "angels" -- which we have translated to mean "saints" -- who have helped the Eben society. This information has NEVER been released.
"The basic beliefs/religion of the Ebens are simple. However, their practice is very complex. The ebens worship one (1) God, which they call an "Entity," and they have religious symbols that reflects other religious entities, which they call "sub-entities." This would be similar to our identification with saints."
**Protestantism does not have "saints." Biblically, the term means 'sanctified ones.' Thereby, all believers are saints, as they live a life undergoing the sanctifying influence of the Holy Spirit in their lives. And that is how the biblical writers use the term; for all believers, not specific, chosen people who performed at least one verified miracle in their lives, which is the criteria for Roman Catholic "saints."
**The constant referral to Roman Catholicism in this information speaks volumes for what is coming. Behold:
"The Ebens belief in life-after-death is similar to the Roman Catholic church and to some Eastern religions doctrines. Once an Eben dies, their soul [bioplasmic body] is taken from the body by these sub-entities (saints) and cleansed of all their sins. The soul is then taken to a midpoint, (Catholics would call it "purgatory") between Heaven and that midpoint. Then once the soul is ready, it is taken to the "Supreme Plateau," (Heaven) where it remains for an eternity.
"Their beliefs become much more complex at this point. Some souls, called "The Arranged" (that is their word), are prepared for entry back into the living society, i.e., this plane of existence. The Ebens believe that if they perform some specific act -- referred to as "karma" on Earth -- during their regular life, they then can come back to the living life in another body. The Ebens believe in reincarnation and the eternity of the soul. The Ebens do NOT believe that animals or their sworn enemies of other space-travelling races have souls."
**Roman Catholicism, paganism, Babylonian confusion. There should be NO question why the Bible contains so much information as to what a human being is and what happens at death, which is most decidedly NOT what popular religion teaches. It is what "ET" believes, though. Oh, yes. Mark it. The erroneous state of the dead has been and will be a tool of deception Satan is going to use right to the close of time. Spiritualism. Remember that. As I have showed you, the Bible teaches, point blank, cover to cover; death is death, not life. Death is referred to as a metaphorical "sleep" many, many times in Scripture, because the dead are in a temporal state, as it were, awaiting one of two resurrections. The body returns to the dust; the spirit, the breathe of life returns to God, and shall be breathed, as it were, back into the dead when all shall rise in the resurrection of the righteous, at the second coming of Christ, or the resurrection of the lost at the end of the 1000 years, whence shall come the destruction of Earth by a consuming fire, then the recreation of Earth. That is the whole point of resurrection. When a person dies, they are truly dead, not separated from their bodies in a ghostlike entity living inside them that departs. That is Greek philosophy. Hey, that's "ET" philosophy! Expect, KNOW, the immortality of a "soul" WILL BE USED by Satan for future deceptions beyond anything mankind has seen.
**Concerning "ETs" visit to Earth in 2008:
"MODERATOR's NOTE: When the attached was broadcast worldwide, many were startled and surprised at what the Vatican -- with the full blessing of Pope Benedict XVI -- had to say regarding ALIEN LIFE FORMS. However, when I read articles like the attached -- and there were MANY -- I knew instantly that it was sparked by Pope Benedict XVI's private 2-hour visit with OSR [Our Special Guest]. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to connect the chain of events and dots: The Pope visits America between April 15 - 20 + ANONYMOUS notifies me on Wednesday, 4-23-08 that the Pope met with OSR = The Vatican makes a stunning announcement on or about May 12-13, 2008 regarding ALIEN LIFE in our universe. Many thanx to MARK GRAFFIS for the attached of which he did not know that it was part of a much larger picture and will now be added and memorialized on the "Project SERPO" Web site."
**Whether or not the preceding paragraph is true, the Vatican is given center stage throughout this revelation, this pre-conditioning for Earth to know "ET" exists. Why the Vatican? Because it is the "seat" of the dragon, and the Papacy shall be used by Satan right to the close of time.
"Pictures also appear. "The YELLOW BOOK" tells the story of the Ebens' lives, their exploration of the universe, their planet, their societal life and other aspects, including the Eben's longtime relationship with Earth. It tells of their first visit to Earth about 2,000 years ago. It displays Earth as it was in those days. It also shows an Eben, who took the appearance of an Earth Human [Jesus Christ].
"According to "The YELLOW BOOK," this Earth Human established religion on Earth [Christianity] and posted the first ALIEN AMBASSADOR on Earth."
**Most all professed Christians would reject that. The time shall come, though, when the senses will be bombarded by things we cannot grasp and ONLY those with a tight connection to Scripture will make it through the deceptions coming. NO JOKE. REAL. The philosophic, deceptive attack on Christianity at its very foundations, not other religions, places this information squarely in the realm of last-day events.
"2) Reference our UNIVERSE from "The YELLOW BOOK": As for the universe, according to the Ebens, the universe was created in a split second, similar to our "Big Bang Theory," and expands over a period of billions of years. The Ebens don't refer to "years" as our years. They speak of time, but in terms of an "event clock," so to help us better understand, the Ebens detail our years as a point of reference.
"According to the Ebens, our universe EXPANDS for about 25 billion years. It then contracts back to its beginning shape. Once the universe CONTRACTS, it expands again REPEATING THE ENTIRE PROCESS. This is considered and referred to as "The Life Span of the Universe" by the Ebens ["Inflation" Theory]."
**That is not in harmony with Genesis 1, and statements throughout the Bible about the origins of the universe. Yes, indeed, the Bible states God 'stretches out the heavens.' Thousands of years ago God told mankind the expansion of the universe is taking place. He tells us the Earth hangs on nothing. He tells us of Earth's hydrologic cycle. He tells us so many scientific truths mankind had no knowledge of, from a modern scientific basis. INFLATION theory is not in there. "ET" says it is truth. Who will humanity believe?
"Notably, "Project Aquarius," Volume IX, which pertains to tracing the alien's first visitation of Earth back some 5,000 years. EBE reported that 2,000 years ago, his ancestors PLANTED A HUMAN CREATURE ON EARTH to assist the inhabitants of Earth in developing a civilization. This information was only vague and the exact identity or background information on this Homo-sapien was not obtained.
"Undoubtedly, if this information was released to the public, it would CAUSE A WORLDWIDE PANIC. MJ-3 has developed a plan that will allow release of Project Aquarius, Volumes I - III.
"The release program calls for a GRADUAL RELEASE OF INFORMATION over a period of time in order to CONDITION THE PUBLIC FOR FUTURE DISCLOSURES. Attachment 5 of this briefing contains certain guidelines for future public releases."
**Actually, when you think about it, if that info was released right now, it would be laughed at by most professing Christians. "ET" is the missing element. Pictures, film, video will not do it. The appearance of "ET" must take place, and it will, by far more than little Ebens. The angel of light has a dog and pony show, to end all dog and pony shows, preparing. Again, without our feet planted firmly into the solid foundation of biblical truth, the mind will not be fortified to withstand the deceptions and delusions coming.
**The gradual release of conditioning information is what is happening.
"QUESTION: In a previous "Project SERPO" release
http://www.serpo.org/release28.php
you stated that the EBENS were returning to the NTS [Nevada Test Site] in November 2009 ¹ for a visit to Earth. Did that visit occur and, if it did, what was the outcome?
"ANONYMOUS ANSWERS: Last month, on Thursday, November 12, 2009, a visit WAS made by the EBENS to a remote location on Earth, but it was NOT to the NTS, but instead to the little-known North Pacific Ocean desert island of JOHNSTON ATOLL/ISLAND ². The EBENS paid us a kindly visit for 12 hours between 0600 - 1800 on this U.S. territory [U.S. military time, local].
http://www.serpo.org/release32a.php
"The meeting specifically occurred on AKAU ISLAND, which is the North Island of the sprawling JOHNSTON ATOLL system. The EBENS landed on a flat portion of the northwest sector of this island. There were 18 (eighteen) officials from around the world who met the EBENS. They included the following [number of] representatives from our planet, Sol III:
"1 = The VATICAN
"2 = The UNITED NATIONS
"9 = The UNITED STATES of AMERICA"
I know why the Vatican is mentioned so often in this material. True or not, that is the agenda from the father of lies. The Vatican shall be exalted and used to deceive the entire world. Signs and wonders, "miracles" and startlingly real events are coming.
I have found it fascinating that many are willing to believe aliens can transform or morph into human looking beings but, absolutely deny the possibility Heaven exists, angels exist, as supernatural beings that can do the same, for righteous or nefarious purposes; given the unfallen or fallen category they belong to. People tell me I believe in fairytales yet, at least I have the fulfillment of prophecy to convince me I can trust the Bible. What do UFOlogists have? Pictures, film, video, and testimony from people, none of which can truly be authenticated without a serious measure of faith involved.
"ET" crashes because of an electrical storm? Seriously? You are able to traverse 40 lightyears of space and time in 9 months, and some lightning knocks you out of the sky? You get captured, you help humans with some knowledge, you set up an exchange. The humans are basically out for almost all of this 9 month journey. They wake up in time to see the closing distance to the planet you are about to explore, and walk around the ship. It is totally unknown to you. The planet is totally unknown to you. You have no factual idea where you are or how you got there. The ease at which Lucifer and his agents could pull off such a deception is literally child's play to them.
Whether or not all this information is true or a lie does not matter. Whether people went to another planet by Satanic trickery, delusion or reality is immaterial. It is there and being pushed to condition the world for the last, final great deception in the battles between good and evil: to disbelieve the Bible in favor of this con job.
'Project Serpo' and who knows what else; what other government programs exist and have existed, is all being used by Satan for the final confrontation between him and Christ. Know that some people in the highest positions of power on Earth are Luciferians. They live to do the bidding of their chosen master. They exist as people like any other. Behind the scenes they are warped and dangerous.
I have NO DOUBTS, none, that the Devil is going to use the entire "ET" scenario to deceive, if possible, the very elect. The rest of the world will be in the bag. They already are. Hey, the Vatican has placed them there. Not the Jews. Not the Buddhists. Not the Muslims. Not the CCP. The Roman Catholic Church Papacy and Vatican has given the go.
Even so, COME, Lord Jesus!
Again, when I use "ET" context is important. Yes, I believe in life beyond Earth. No, I do not believe we have been visited by life forms beyond Earth, save for angels, both good and evil. No, I obviously do not believe any life forms beyond this Earth are a danger to mankind, save for fallen angels. This is all based on my study of the Bible, and what Scripture states about anything that can be related to the subjects of "ET" and UFOlogy. So, when I state "ET" will be used as a last-day deception, I mean the subject, and however the father of lies chooses to portray "ET."
As I have written before, UFOlogy contains those who believe they are communicating with Extra-Terrestrials, generally benevolent beings but, they warn of dangerous threats from other worlds and other beings, as well. For me, that's a red flag. The Bible states the 99 sheep back in the pasture are just fine. One is lost. The Good Shepherd goes after it. Christ is the Shepherd. Earth, we are the lost sheep. The 99 are others that do not need salvation. Well, that counts out everybody on Earth because all have sinned and need salvation from the power and penalty of sin. Then, who are the 99? There is only one logical conclusion. But, that also means, by the parables themselves, that everybody else out there are in harmony with their Creator. There are no other-worldly species bent on destruction of worlds. That's Lucifer. That's a third of the angels who rebelled with him, as far as the Bible is concerned; not "ETs."
So, for me, and millions of Bible-believing people believing we are not alone in this vast universe, UFOlogy presents a perversion of the truth. As fascinating as the subject is, and with all the sightings and "abductions" and cattle mutilations and crop circles, and military testimonies, etc., Satan has been busy for centuries preparing the use of it all for last-day deceptions. God can keep all worlds notified in ways we cannot imagine, what transpires on Earth. None need come here, and I choose to believe God commands they do not come here. The only "aliens" that come here are God's angels and those angels that have followed Lucifer in His rebellion.
My wife tells me I need to constantly make that point clear or readers will be confused. So be it.
Hang in with me and take a look at another crate of information I came across to convince me about this.
Recently I came upon a web site about 'Project Serpo.' Those who are avid UFOlogists know of it. It was new to me. I spent a couple days looking at 60 pages of materials relating to the project.
Based on things I have shared about prophecy and last day events, if I asked you to guess what religion, what church "ET" has had contact with, care to guess?
If I asked you to guess what story of origins "ET" favors, care to guess?
The Project Serpo website just offered me more information on why I believe what I do about the use of "ET" for future deceptions, and it is on target.
Here's the website link: http://www.serpo.org/index.php
In a nutshell: aliens, from planet Serpo, crashed in NM. One survived. Named EBE #1 (Extra-terrestrial Biologic Entity), or ETE (Extra-Terrestrial Entity), it was studied, and as communication developed an exchange program was undertaken. Twelve Americans from three military forces would travel to Serpo for 10 years and return to Earth. The exchange took place in 1965. Some of the 12 returned in 1978. The last of the 12 died in 2014. Two stayed behind. Two perished. Eight returned.
The DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency), and the USG (United States Government) in general, have determined to begin releasing information regarding "ET" in a gradual process to condition Americans, as other governments condition their citizens, to realize life beyond Earth does exist, has visited Earth for "millions" of years, and we need to get on board with the rest of the galaxy.
Information from the website stops in 2016. The last shared visit of the Ebens, as they are termed, was supposedly in 2012, if I read correctly. Things are ramping up for full disclosure.
Certain things I read at the site are listed below, with some comments marked with a double asterisks **. You'll forgive me for not copying and pasting the individual pages the info is taken from. Once I hit pertinent info I was looking for and knew I would find, I just plowed through the pages. In some quotes the administrators of the site have placed links to various site pages for more information so, those will have to suffice. If you choose to go to the site, some site navigation may help you to track down the passages I've chosen to comment upon. They all come from a 60 page section of the site entitled "INFO RELEASES" - http://www.serpo.org/releases.php
Bare in mind, I see no logical way to determine the veracity and authenticity or truth of any of this information. Just like UFOlogy, itself, there is no way to know who to trust, what photos or videos are real, what testimonies are real and truthful, etc. A tremendous amount of faith must be extended to accept everything out there, especially when things considered true turn out to be fraudulent, and today with CGI and drones, it just makes it all the more difficult. "I want to believe" is a very common statement made by UFO enthusiasts. They just have not seen the fulness of actual proof necessary: their eyes upon an extra-terrestrial being that traveled here from another world. Testimonies, film, video, photos, literally tens, if not hundreds of thousands of them over 8 decades, as well as paintings down through the centuries, are all great but, they are not "proof." The testimony of scientists and media experts and all the rest of them, are people who may or may not be sincere, who have or have not experienced what they claim, and explanations for whatever they have seen or experienced may be known or unknown. It's all a barrel of information that could as easily be misinformation and disinformation, as true information. Who can be trusted, when I believe an Adversary is out there trying to deceive me and destroy me?
I saw 9/11. I watched towers collapse at free-fall speed. I have watched dozens of documentaries with camera angles from people all around NYC, as well as the Pentagon, and testimonies from people around Shanksville, and the Pentegon, and in NYC, even in the buildings. The characters, the paper trails, the money trails, and all that tells me the "official" story is BS. Whatever, whoever was involved, some radical Islamic militants did not take down three buildings in NYC with two airplanes and some fires. The official story is just as much a conspiracy theory as any other position out there. It's just more unbelievable.
I don't need to have any "proof" of "ET." I already believe life exists beyond Earth based on the testimony of Scripture, as I have shared. While that information can be called allusions or implications, they are sound enough to draw a logical conclusion. Life beyond Earth exists.
I believe the basic events within the history of UFOlogy have taken place, take place, will take place. I believe Lucifer has undertaken a campaign of deception geared to ultimately deceive the entire global populace for rebellion against God and His Word, which will lead to the end of the world as we know it. Earth's governments are involved, Hollywood is involved, many different agencies and players are involved. I have no burden to get into all the details. I'll leave that to the Readers of this.
So, let's take a look. Remember, these are selected passages from the INFO RELEASE section, containing 60 pages. My comments are preceded with **.
"http://www.serpo.org/release10.php
"QUESTION: What do you make of what Ebe #1 allegedly said about Mankind being genetically altered throughout time and that they established religions and Christ in particular on our planet? [An idea that was popularized in the 1989 bestseller, "The Gods of Eden" by William Bramley, ISBN# 0380718073]
"ANONYMOUS: If one reads the "Yellow Book" [the true and correct history of Mankind as relayed by the ETEs] and reads between the lines, one would come away with the thought and clear impression that the Ebens had something to do with Jesus Christ or, possibly, Jesus was one of them.
"Also, if you look at some events that are shown in the "Yellow Book," (remember, there are no dates shown in the "Yellow Book"), you can connect some incidents, such as Fatima, etc., with an Eben landing."
**As a Bible-believing Christian, as someone who has experienced being born-again and a radical, life-changing experience, you can imagine the Red flags and bells that went off when I read that. Do not miss the serious implications here. ALL humanity is going to be faced with choosing a "truth." Either choosing God and His Word as it interprets itself, or "ETs" version of things. There is God's book, the Bible. Or, there is "ETs" Yellow Book, an 8x11 translucent device that when placed close to the eyes begins to flash the history of everything. It's an impossible "book" to read. You can be exposed to it for 12 hours and stop. When you attempt to read again, it begins from the beginning. You cannot pick up where you left off. You must start from scratch again and when hour 13 begins, you'll get new information. Comments about it taking a lifetime to ingest the book are moot. Nobody has done it.
**Sometime back I wrote a post about Jesus being an alien. Technically, coming from Heaven, coming from another dimension, He was an alien to us. BUT!!! being "ET?" NOT.
**First hint for me. Fatima? Fatima, a Roman Catholic event, connected to an Eben landing? Here we go...
**From the commander of the exchange's diary:
"661 suggests we make up a calendar and a time system as long as we are here. Good idea, he will do that. The calendar will run on a seven day system. We will use our wristwatches to gauge a 24 hour period and then consider that one day.
**I found that interesting. Why seven days? Because Earth is set up for that cycle? I have asked the rhetorical question here before; why is civilization set up around the world on a seven-day cycle? Because that is what God, the Creator, set up. The astronauts chose a seven-day cycle calendar for a planet and populace that became obvious to them, did not function on a 24 hour-a-day, seven-day weekly cycle. Remember the final issues in the prophetic battle. The Seal of God versus the Mark of the Beast. The Seal is God's seventh-day Sabbath. The Mark of the RCC's claimed power and authority is changing the Sabbath to Sunday; God's fourth commandment to the RCC's third, in its doctrinal position of the moral law. Lucifer is not trying to change the weekly cycle. He's has perverted how it is to be regarded.
**President Reagan briefing, Camp David, 1981. A very interesting Read found on page 27a.
"During our initial program to study the alien's spaceship, we started many different projects. The first project, originally established in 1949, was to collect and evaluate medical information from the surviving alien creature -- EBE 1 and the recovered alien bodies. This project medically examined EBE 1 and provided our medical researchers with many answers to the evolution theories."
**Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!!! Oh, yes. The site is saturated with information about the Big Bang and macro-evolution, materialism, naturalism, all backed up by "ET." ORIGINS is on display from one aspect only. The confusion is almost outrageous, if it weren't so sad. Lucifer hates the Sabbath, the memorial of creation. With all his power, he cannot create from nothing. "I would be like the most High." Yeah, not happening. He can pervert, he can create from creation but, fiat creation? Nope. Logically, then, the premise of Naturalism, Materialism, Evolution all presided over by a deity which is the Universe, fits the ET deception quite well. For "ET" the universe is an entity. It is god. It is sentient. It is life. Oh, but it gets more involved than that.
**Pope Benedicts USA visit, 2008
"ALL visitations occurred at the sprawling Groom Lake Complex. During each visit, a representative from the Vatican WAS present. The pope was particularly interested in the religious activity of the Ebens. The Ebens worship a God. The pope feels their God is the same as ours. The Ebens worship God differently, but NOT so much. In fact, OSG brought artifacts of the Ebens' God that fits directly into OUR [Christian] God.
"Several Eben paintings, sculptured statutes and carved fetishes were similar to our God. In fact, the story of their God -- appearing thousands of years ago on SERPO and setting up religious sects on their planet -- is similar to our story of Jesus. The Ebens chant verses, which, when translated, are similar to OUR prayers. The Eben chants contain 26 verses which they repeat every day at their prayer hour, which is in the afternoon (SERPO day).
"The chants sound like Tibetan chants. On a particular Eben day of their year, the Ebens expand the chants to 38 verses. The extra 12 chants pertain to "angels" -- which we have translated to mean "saints" -- who have helped the Eben society. This information has NEVER been released.
"The basic beliefs/religion of the Ebens are simple. However, their practice is very complex. The ebens worship one (1) God, which they call an "Entity," and they have religious symbols that reflects other religious entities, which they call "sub-entities." This would be similar to our identification with saints."
**Protestantism does not have "saints." Biblically, the term means 'sanctified ones.' Thereby, all believers are saints, as they live a life undergoing the sanctifying influence of the Holy Spirit in their lives. And that is how the biblical writers use the term; for all believers, not specific, chosen people who performed at least one verified miracle in their lives, which is the criteria for Roman Catholic "saints."
**The constant referral to Roman Catholicism in this information speaks volumes for what is coming. Behold:
"The Ebens belief in life-after-death is similar to the Roman Catholic church and to some Eastern religions doctrines. Once an Eben dies, their soul [bioplasmic body] is taken from the body by these sub-entities (saints) and cleansed of all their sins. The soul is then taken to a midpoint, (Catholics would call it "purgatory") between Heaven and that midpoint. Then once the soul is ready, it is taken to the "Supreme Plateau," (Heaven) where it remains for an eternity.
"Their beliefs become much more complex at this point. Some souls, called "The Arranged" (that is their word), are prepared for entry back into the living society, i.e., this plane of existence. The Ebens believe that if they perform some specific act -- referred to as "karma" on Earth -- during their regular life, they then can come back to the living life in another body. The Ebens believe in reincarnation and the eternity of the soul. The Ebens do NOT believe that animals or their sworn enemies of other space-travelling races have souls."
**Roman Catholicism, paganism, Babylonian confusion. There should be NO question why the Bible contains so much information as to what a human being is and what happens at death, which is most decidedly NOT what popular religion teaches. It is what "ET" believes, though. Oh, yes. Mark it. The erroneous state of the dead has been and will be a tool of deception Satan is going to use right to the close of time. Spiritualism. Remember that. As I have showed you, the Bible teaches, point blank, cover to cover; death is death, not life. Death is referred to as a metaphorical "sleep" many, many times in Scripture, because the dead are in a temporal state, as it were, awaiting one of two resurrections. The body returns to the dust; the spirit, the breathe of life returns to God, and shall be breathed, as it were, back into the dead when all shall rise in the resurrection of the righteous, at the second coming of Christ, or the resurrection of the lost at the end of the 1000 years, whence shall come the destruction of Earth by a consuming fire, then the recreation of Earth. That is the whole point of resurrection. When a person dies, they are truly dead, not separated from their bodies in a ghostlike entity living inside them that departs. That is Greek philosophy. Hey, that's "ET" philosophy! Expect, KNOW, the immortality of a "soul" WILL BE USED by Satan for future deceptions beyond anything mankind has seen.
**Concerning "ETs" visit to Earth in 2008:
"MODERATOR's NOTE: When the attached was broadcast worldwide, many were startled and surprised at what the Vatican -- with the full blessing of Pope Benedict XVI -- had to say regarding ALIEN LIFE FORMS. However, when I read articles like the attached -- and there were MANY -- I knew instantly that it was sparked by Pope Benedict XVI's private 2-hour visit with OSR [Our Special Guest]. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to connect the chain of events and dots: The Pope visits America between April 15 - 20 + ANONYMOUS notifies me on Wednesday, 4-23-08 that the Pope met with OSR = The Vatican makes a stunning announcement on or about May 12-13, 2008 regarding ALIEN LIFE in our universe. Many thanx to MARK GRAFFIS for the attached of which he did not know that it was part of a much larger picture and will now be added and memorialized on the "Project SERPO" Web site."
**Whether or not the preceding paragraph is true, the Vatican is given center stage throughout this revelation, this pre-conditioning for Earth to know "ET" exists. Why the Vatican? Because it is the "seat" of the dragon, and the Papacy shall be used by Satan right to the close of time.
"Pictures also appear. "The YELLOW BOOK" tells the story of the Ebens' lives, their exploration of the universe, their planet, their societal life and other aspects, including the Eben's longtime relationship with Earth. It tells of their first visit to Earth about 2,000 years ago. It displays Earth as it was in those days. It also shows an Eben, who took the appearance of an Earth Human [Jesus Christ].
"According to "The YELLOW BOOK," this Earth Human established religion on Earth [Christianity] and posted the first ALIEN AMBASSADOR on Earth."
**Most all professed Christians would reject that. The time shall come, though, when the senses will be bombarded by things we cannot grasp and ONLY those with a tight connection to Scripture will make it through the deceptions coming. NO JOKE. REAL. The philosophic, deceptive attack on Christianity at its very foundations, not other religions, places this information squarely in the realm of last-day events.
"2) Reference our UNIVERSE from "The YELLOW BOOK": As for the universe, according to the Ebens, the universe was created in a split second, similar to our "Big Bang Theory," and expands over a period of billions of years. The Ebens don't refer to "years" as our years. They speak of time, but in terms of an "event clock," so to help us better understand, the Ebens detail our years as a point of reference.
"According to the Ebens, our universe EXPANDS for about 25 billion years. It then contracts back to its beginning shape. Once the universe CONTRACTS, it expands again REPEATING THE ENTIRE PROCESS. This is considered and referred to as "The Life Span of the Universe" by the Ebens ["Inflation" Theory]."
**That is not in harmony with Genesis 1, and statements throughout the Bible about the origins of the universe. Yes, indeed, the Bible states God 'stretches out the heavens.' Thousands of years ago God told mankind the expansion of the universe is taking place. He tells us the Earth hangs on nothing. He tells us of Earth's hydrologic cycle. He tells us so many scientific truths mankind had no knowledge of, from a modern scientific basis. INFLATION theory is not in there. "ET" says it is truth. Who will humanity believe?
"Notably, "Project Aquarius," Volume IX, which pertains to tracing the alien's first visitation of Earth back some 5,000 years. EBE reported that 2,000 years ago, his ancestors PLANTED A HUMAN CREATURE ON EARTH to assist the inhabitants of Earth in developing a civilization. This information was only vague and the exact identity or background information on this Homo-sapien was not obtained.
"Undoubtedly, if this information was released to the public, it would CAUSE A WORLDWIDE PANIC. MJ-3 has developed a plan that will allow release of Project Aquarius, Volumes I - III.
"The release program calls for a GRADUAL RELEASE OF INFORMATION over a period of time in order to CONDITION THE PUBLIC FOR FUTURE DISCLOSURES. Attachment 5 of this briefing contains certain guidelines for future public releases."
**Actually, when you think about it, if that info was released right now, it would be laughed at by most professing Christians. "ET" is the missing element. Pictures, film, video will not do it. The appearance of "ET" must take place, and it will, by far more than little Ebens. The angel of light has a dog and pony show, to end all dog and pony shows, preparing. Again, without our feet planted firmly into the solid foundation of biblical truth, the mind will not be fortified to withstand the deceptions and delusions coming.
**The gradual release of conditioning information is what is happening.
"QUESTION: In a previous "Project SERPO" release
http://www.serpo.org/release28.php
you stated that the EBENS were returning to the NTS [Nevada Test Site] in November 2009 ¹ for a visit to Earth. Did that visit occur and, if it did, what was the outcome?
"ANONYMOUS ANSWERS: Last month, on Thursday, November 12, 2009, a visit WAS made by the EBENS to a remote location on Earth, but it was NOT to the NTS, but instead to the little-known North Pacific Ocean desert island of JOHNSTON ATOLL/ISLAND ². The EBENS paid us a kindly visit for 12 hours between 0600 - 1800 on this U.S. territory [U.S. military time, local].
http://www.serpo.org/release32a.php
"The meeting specifically occurred on AKAU ISLAND, which is the North Island of the sprawling JOHNSTON ATOLL system. The EBENS landed on a flat portion of the northwest sector of this island. There were 18 (eighteen) officials from around the world who met the EBENS. They included the following [number of] representatives from our planet, Sol III:
"1 = The VATICAN
"2 = The UNITED NATIONS
"9 = The UNITED STATES of AMERICA"
I know why the Vatican is mentioned so often in this material. True or not, that is the agenda from the father of lies. The Vatican shall be exalted and used to deceive the entire world. Signs and wonders, "miracles" and startlingly real events are coming.
I have found it fascinating that many are willing to believe aliens can transform or morph into human looking beings but, absolutely deny the possibility Heaven exists, angels exist, as supernatural beings that can do the same, for righteous or nefarious purposes; given the unfallen or fallen category they belong to. People tell me I believe in fairytales yet, at least I have the fulfillment of prophecy to convince me I can trust the Bible. What do UFOlogists have? Pictures, film, video, and testimony from people, none of which can truly be authenticated without a serious measure of faith involved.
"ET" crashes because of an electrical storm? Seriously? You are able to traverse 40 lightyears of space and time in 9 months, and some lightning knocks you out of the sky? You get captured, you help humans with some knowledge, you set up an exchange. The humans are basically out for almost all of this 9 month journey. They wake up in time to see the closing distance to the planet you are about to explore, and walk around the ship. It is totally unknown to you. The planet is totally unknown to you. You have no factual idea where you are or how you got there. The ease at which Lucifer and his agents could pull off such a deception is literally child's play to them.
Whether or not all this information is true or a lie does not matter. Whether people went to another planet by Satanic trickery, delusion or reality is immaterial. It is there and being pushed to condition the world for the last, final great deception in the battles between good and evil: to disbelieve the Bible in favor of this con job.
'Project Serpo' and who knows what else; what other government programs exist and have existed, is all being used by Satan for the final confrontation between him and Christ. Know that some people in the highest positions of power on Earth are Luciferians. They live to do the bidding of their chosen master. They exist as people like any other. Behind the scenes they are warped and dangerous.
I have NO DOUBTS, none, that the Devil is going to use the entire "ET" scenario to deceive, if possible, the very elect. The rest of the world will be in the bag. They already are. Hey, the Vatican has placed them there. Not the Jews. Not the Buddhists. Not the Muslims. Not the CCP. The Roman Catholic Church Papacy and Vatican has given the go.
Even so, COME, Lord Jesus!
More Warnings From Babylon
A very interesting 13 min. video. I believe the speaker is Greek Orthodox, or perhaps a branch of Catholicism, protesting against the "Bergoglio Vatican" and its position on the "vaccines." The presentation hi-lites some statements by Cardinal Vigano and his statements about the Covid event. Most interesting, indeed.
While I deny the prophetic placement of the Covid event by so many in professed Christendom, the speaker is certainly strong and offers a powerful take on it, from the view of standing up against medical and governmental totalitarianism.
https://rumble.com/vrz371-terror-in-the-vatican.html
The intrigue here grows steadily. Four clergymen (thus far) from Catholicism speaking out against the positions of the Pope. There may be more making public statements I am not aware of. Fascinating. The sincerity is almost good enough to overcome the duplicity; knowing the aims of the Vatican and "Mother."
Keep an eye on this. Something key is taking place.

488. Truckers!!! - January28, 2022
If you look at any alternative news source, at least Conservative sources of news, you have read about the longest caravan in human history; longer than any marching army in antiquity; longer than any traffic jam or auto accident on any highway on Earth. It stands thus far at over 40 miles.
Thousands of truckers are involved in a North American protest that cannot even be a sight to behold because it's just too long to see. Truckers heading to Ottawa, Canada to protest the globalist, Leftist policies of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his injection mandates, are being joined by thousands of truckers from the USA. It's an unprecedented protest main stream news remains silent on, showing their normal corporate bias and agenda, or worse, as usual, writing the most negative-prone articles or televised news segments possible.
Truckers supply the vast majority of goods to citizens of nations once the ships are unloaded at ports. It's one of the most important, yet thankless jobs in the world.
So many of us in America, as kids, remember that chrome Bulldog on the hood of Mac trucks. I was always enamored with the look of Kenworth's when I saw them on the highway.
I cannot think of anything more cruel and damaging to the economy of any nation than telling truckers they must be injected to cross national borders. Truckers sit alone in their cabs with virtually no contact with other humans for hours and days, aside from gas stations and terminals.
Everybody now knows, or should know, the "pandemic" is OVER, reduced to something no more lethal than any flu or cold for most cases now. Injections have caused far more damage to all sectors of society than the original strain of this man-made, manipulated virus. The injected are now the factual, studied and helpless victims of new strains of the virus, as their immune systems cannot operate correctly because of the contents of the injections. And now, Dr. Jane Ruby has uncovered a new danger; never before seen, strange clotting of entire veins with rubbery material is discovered by more and more morticians, funeral directors and embalmers.

Of course, a truck full of CDC test monkeys crashing on a PA highway is not suspect for more health issues running rampant, right?
Attorney Thomas Renz, has gone nuclear on Anthony Fauci, with recent discoveries of military medical data showing a 300%nincrease in cancer among the troops.
https://www.redvoicemedia.com/2022/01/thomas-renz-goes-absolutely-nuclear-after-digging-into-dod-whistleblower-data-premeditated-murder-videos/
The dastardly attitude of leaders who are so determined to wreck their nations and their citizen's lives is mind-boggling. They are a curse to humanity and one can only hope and pray, as humanity wakes up to what has been done, leaders will be held responsible, accountable, removed from office, tried and and put away. In so corrupt a world, it is unlikely. Fauci should have been reduced to nothing more than an opinion a year and half ago, yet his constant presence is a continuing lethal mark on medicine and lives of Americans under his strange and hypnotic spell. The man has an action figure doll, a documentary, and countless covers of magazines and other media. He is now literally guilty of the death of Americans who believed his rhetoric of "science," as life-saving therapies were denied them in hospitals and doctor's offices across the nation. We all know this. We are outraged as it continues in the face of mounting evidence he has known, for years, decades, this was coming because it was planned. Plandemic. There is nothing else it can be called.
The truckers need a clear pathway to express their disdain and outrage at what has befallen them as one of the most important segments of modern society. Trucking organizations claim 90% of truckers in Canada have been vaccinated. I doubt that figure, and worse, these organizations should be heartily and happily endorsing this convoy of protest for all Canadians and Americans now facing the same shortage of truckers and more empty shelves and prices that shall escalate beyond anything seen in North American history.
In all my life, believing and knowing what I know about Bible prophecy and last-day events, I never expected to see such an attack on freedom, liberty, the rule of law and such tyranny from elected civil servants. Fauci is not even that. He's a paid civil servant, with the highest salary of any civil servant in D.C. The non-president is a walking train wreck of mindless mush and pawn usage by all around him.
Corruption. Corruption on top of corruption. Endless corruption.
May the truckers show a wall of protest that will not be denied.

Fauci should have been reduced to nothing more than an opinion a year and half ago, yet his constant presence is a continuing lethal mark on medicine and lives of Americans under his strange and hypnotic spell. The man has an action figure doll, a documentary, and countless covers of magazines and other media. He is now literally guilty of the death of Americans who believed his rhetoric of "science," as life-saving therapies were denied them in hospitals and doctor's offices across the nation. We all know this. We are outraged as it continues in the face of mounting evidence he has known, for years, decades, this was coming because it was planned. Plandemic. There is nothing else it can be called.
The truckers need a clear pathway to express their disdain and outrage at what has befallen them as one of the most important segments of modern society. Trucking organizations claim 90% of truckers in Canada have been vaccinated. I doubt that figure, and worse, these organizations should be heartily and happily endorsing this convoy of protest for all Canadians and Americans now facing the same shortage of truckers and more empty shelves and prices that shall escalate beyond anything seen in North American history.
In all my life, believing and knowing what I know about Bible prophecy and last-day events, I never expected to see such an attack on freedom, liberty, the rule of law and such tyranny from elected civil servants. Fauci is not even that. He's a paid civil servant, with the highest salary of any civil servant in D.C. The non-president is a walking train wreck of mindless mush and pawn usage by all around him.
Corruption. Corruption on top of corruption. Endless corruption.
May the truckers show a wall of protest that will not be denied.

489. One Year Later... - January 29, 2022
What a year it has been. Last year, on this weekend, I was in the hospital suffering a stroke. I could barely state my name and couldn't write it, couldn't tap out a simple paradiddle with my hands. They could not tell me why it happened. They prescribed some meds and sent me home after a bunch of expensive tests, and me up and walking around, to their dismay, 24 hours later. That was God, and the prayers of people who care about me, and when I got home, thankful to be vertical and ventilating, I determined to make it my job never to experience that again.
I decided to go back to being vegan. No more eggs or mozzarella. Just have to use the alternatives or leave them behind. I wanted to work out more, and play drums more than I was. I wanted to lose a bunch of unnecessary and potentially harmful weight, and get my act together.
The first thing I did was drop the meds. I found out one had a class action lawsuit against it and the other made my urine smell like a chemical factory. No way. Plus, I just felt lousy taking them. Gone.
I did some research and got some natural items - herbs, minerals, etc. - that have been shown in clinical studies to help with blood flow, cholesterol, stress, and other things that coincide with strokes.
I even came upon an oil that can literally kill skin cancer, which I have/had. I was asked about it in the hospital, the 3/8" circle of menace on my neck that had bothered me for at least 6 months prior, which I figured was squamous cell carcinoma. They told me to have it checked out. I checked it out myself. I was right. I had been putting stuff on it, various ointments which held it in check but, it began to grow and get worse. Black Seed oil. My wife, as well, two lesions she discovered. Rub it on twice a day and lo and behold the sore just shrank and went away. It's pretty amazing.
I decided to make a recording I had wanted to make for 25 years: Concepts for Solo Drum Set. I even recorded tracks for another 2 CDs. Added new pages to my website here, and Monday I'm going to add a solo with the current set-up and post it on my YT channel, which I haven't messed with for 8 months, since the promotion of the CD, in thanks to the Lord keeping me going.
I decided to get into prophecy studies here on the site and posted things I hope inform people what is coming and to think about a lot more than temporal matters.
I reconnected with someone last week, that I met online years ago, a guitarist from WV, who sent me some drumless tracks to jam to and see what we come up with. I'll be busy next week. :-)
I came upon a posting of Fjords on YT and fan of Legend asked some questions and I was happy to answer them. He contacted me and I'll be sending him some stuff in the mail. Seems like a nice young guy.
With all the garbage going on in America and around the world, at the hands of Leftist totalitarian lunatics, millions are finally rising up and saying, Not Happening. The healthcare workers, the Canadian and American truckers, the podcasters, the regular folks out there, all over the globe, from the outset of the event or finally seeing the truth, are rising up and making a stand. Brings tears to my eyes. More must happen. Lots more. GOD WILL MOVE and people WILL take their stand against tyranny and hopefully, treason and crimes against humanity. I have run out of pity and compassion for devils trying to destroy our lives with their lunacy.
Today, I thank my LORD for keeping me marching, however weak and frail and foolish I am. There is hope with God. I maintain, the only hope that matters. We are all broken in some way, to one degree or another. The Eternal Fixer can put us back together and make us whole again, ready to spend eternity with angels and the throngs that populate this vast, stupendous universe. I hope some of these totalitarians repent and experience salvation. They were all babies at one time; little children. Somehow, someway, they warped, and God can straighten them out. He is a God of righteousness and justice, as well. The guilty shall stand before God someday and answer for their sins.
I end these posts with "Even so, come, Lord Jesus" (Rev. 22:20) so often because that is the focus I have tried to keep centered upon for just about 43 years now. Christ is coming, some year, some month, some day, some hour and the end of all things shall take place. Yes, that is my faith. The only thing we actually have to bolster up that faith is our own experience and prophecy: the sure world of prophecy, 2Peter 1:19 -
2Pe 1:16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
2Pe 1:17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
2Pe 1:18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
2Pe 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
2Pe 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
2Pe 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Peter was there, with James and John, when Christ was transfigured before them on the mount, he heard the Father's voice praise His Son. He beheld the majesty of Christ in a portion of what it will be like when Christ returns in glory. Despite his own experience, he tells us prophecy, fulfilled prophecy is more sure than what he saw and heard with his own eyes and ears. It is light shining into dark places. Isaiah prophesied darkness would cover the earth and gross darkness the people. I quote that a lot, too. Darkness. Spiritual, mental, intellectual darkness. Satan has blinded the minds of those who believe not. It has nothing to do with intelligence. It has nothing to do with IQ. It has nothing to do with talent, as people deem such things important.
Nobody is smart enough to get into heaven. Nobody is talented enough and certainly not rich enough. There is only ONE WAY, that's it, to become a citizen of Heaven, a member of the family of God, and make it into eternity - You must be born again, John 3:3-8. You must be given new life, a new thought process, and new outlook and direction, a new purpose, "all things become new," and without that experience, you would not be happy in Heaven. You'd be miserable. You would want out so bad you'd about like to die to be around those who enjoy purity, holiness, righteousness, truth, and existence in God's presence. Matter of fact, you could not exist in God's presence without being born again and sanctified by the Holy Spirit, and glorified with immortality. "Our God is a consuming fire." Joined to sin, having a sinful character, full of self, you would cease to exist exposed to God's presence. That is why the Bible specifically states when Christ returns His very presence, His glory, His light, will slay unsanctified humanity.
Prophecy is shining in Earth's waning days of darkness. It is shouting to humanity to believe and get ready.
God has made this so easy and yet, it is so hard to let go of self, and let God control our lives. Everything about the Divine will is against what we think is right, what we want, what we desire, what we strive for. Why do you think Christ said to strive to enter through the strait gate? Because it's a daily battle, it's actual warfare no Olympian can manifest any amount of physical prowess to fight. No 'Strong Man' competitors can pull up or push up enough weight; no intellectual can write a brilliant enough treatise; no scientist can figure out how to gain entrance by anything man can do but, make a choice to let God make us understand sorrow for sin and by His grace forgive us for it, and give us strength, His strength, to obey and become more like Christ, living in His will each day.
Not many have the guts to make that choice and fight that daily battle and keep on fighting no matter how many times we fail because we are prisoners of hope, living by faith, not by sight, not by feelings but, by principle, the greatest of all, which is love. And that is God's love, not man's addictions, pursuits and trophies.
Not a single believer will go through life without pain of some kind: loss, grief, uncertainty, questions, and everything else humanity struggles with. The one difference? Hope. Faith, hope and love for God and our fellowman, guided by the more sure word of prophecy.
At 67, as tired as I am, I wake up every day and realize God has given me another day for some reason, some pursuit to make some kind of difference for someone, maybe just me; learning something new, or remembering something forgotten in the classroom of Christ.
"This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24
"And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation." Isaiah 25:9.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

*Incredible Commitment to Craftsmanship*
My cousin watched the blizzard out his windows yesterday, up in Rhode Island, and we sent some emails back ands forth. He sent me this link to Indian craftsmanship, making Dhols: large, two-headed drums involving a lot of steps. I found it fascinating to watch.
In the last couple days I have received a number of comments on my plywood-ring drums. The set keeps growing. I'll be doing some recording with the current set-up this week but, what I do to make those drums is nothing compared to the work these guys put into their instruments. Not just the craftsmanship but, the ingenuity, even teamwork, is fantastic.
It also goes to show how drum making, as far as drum shells, may contribute tonal nuances based on shape, depth and density but, sorry, not sorry, the super-hype manufacturers put out there about their plywood shells, or any shells, for that matter, is nonsense.
When you come to the end of this video, look at some others by other builders and tell me if you hear any significant differences because of the tree species used, or techniques involved. I don't.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QEN8hhkSyc
And with all the work and techniques that go into making those drums, they are using plastic heads, not skin, which is interesting because most "world" drums continue to use skin heads. There is a definite tonal difference between plastic and animal skin heads, especially in the feel of playing them for the individual. Drum shells and sound? Not so much.
As more and more players become exposed to and aware of this issue, hopefully the manufacturers will tone down their rhetoric and ultra-hype and get back to a lion's share of hardware innovation, like things used to be, in a more honest and simple time in the world of drums.

490. Whose PR Program is Best? - January 30, 2022
Right now, as I type, people, citizens, law-biding citizens of various nations around the world, are being vilified and pronounced and called every synonym for that word because they refuse to be injected with a controversial, potentially dangerous and deadly new technology fluid being called a "vaccine." In places where rational thought and liberty have been displaced by fear and "science falsely so-called," people can no longer patronize public establishments of entertainment, provisions, dining... you name it. I am free and basically have been since this event began, here in Texas. In other places and lands, the segregation is outrageous and normally Leftists would denounce it but, why is this segregation not only allowed but, demanded by many voices on the radical Left?
I still see people wearing masks, ignorant of the truth about their uselessness, even stated so by "official" spokespeople, as well as all the doctors and studies from all over the planet. I say nothing. They say nothing. We go about our business. Wear a mask if you want. I don't care. Do not tell me I have to, in your tyranny and/or total ignorance, or both.
In places where your business is now the business of tyrants, you may have lost your job, your career, your livelihood, and thereby your groceries, and have to order food online and have it delivered or you pick it up.
As you look at the condition of the world right now and think about prior times of such vilification; like Jews in Germany in WW2, or Japanese Americans during the same, or Christians in Africa or other areas of the globe where militant Islam has control, or even in America where Christians have been sued, even jailed for things like not baking something for homosexuals who want to get married, or not signing a marriage license for them (yes, it is as stupid and ignorant and unAmerican as it reads), we have all seen man's inhumanity to man. Tyranny is ever with the human race, somewhere, all the time. Most of us, collectively, do not undergo the terrifying aspects of such vilification and rejection by cultural societies. That is changing.
True Christianity has never been completely accepted by any civilization or culture. Never. There has always been harassment, oppression or persecution, wherever true Christianity has made an impact. Why is that? Even in America, where religion is Constitutionally protected, Christians have suffered at the hands of the irreligious, the zealots, the ignorant and the professed Christian hypocrites in positions of power or control.
There is little PR (Public Relations) that supports the lifechanging positions Christians take up in society. Even though anywhere true Christianity is, is made better for its presence, false Christianity has given it a bad name and the innocent are charged with the idiocy of the ignorant.
Look at this passage:
2Tim 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2Tim 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2Tim 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
2Tim 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Tim 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Perilous times have come and shall come at the hands of those who have a form of godliness but, deny its power to truly transform someone's life, and those who are transformed?
2Tim 3:10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
2Tim 3:11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
2Tim 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
2Tim 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
Paul describes his life after his conversion. What a PR program! Talk about exciting news to get people to sign up! If you do, you are told if you live godly in Christ YOU SHALL SUFFER PERSECUTION and the worst of it may come at the hands of hypocrites and fake Christians who have a form of godliness: all the trappings - church-goers, leaders, active members, visiting the sick, the incarcerated, handing out tracts and literature, and selling all kinds of merchandise in book stores... 'Lord, Lord, we did all these things in Your name! Why can't we get in!!?? Because I never knew you. Depart from me, you workers of iniquity because you refused to do the will of My Father in Heaven.'
Whew. Big PR right there. Being busy for the Lord is no guarantee you get through the gates. And you want to talk about false doctrine? Consider the millions of believers who sincerely believe God chooses people to be saved or lost so, no matter what you choose, no matter what you may think your experience is in Christ, if God has chosen you to be lost, that's unfortunate but, hey. We cannot challenge the Lord's decisions. To "hell" you go.
Personally, I cannot think of a worse character assassination upon the LORD. It is so atrocious it is nauseating to me. I have gone back and forth with believers who follow that line of unreasonable fodder and regardless of the mountain of consistent Scripture that states, point blank otherwise, they refuse to see it. They cannot gainsay, they cannot refute but, they refuse, they reject simple truth because they cannot admit they have been wrong. They cannot accept they have been taught something that is not completely in harmony with the entire testimony of the Bible. Some have shouted at me and stormed off or collectively looked at me with eyes that would kill if they could. When professed believers encounter truth versus their error they can get downright nasty. I have seen it far too many times. I have been literally threatened by professed believers. If the stocks still existed, I'd have been placed in them.
Now, with that background, think of what is coming, prophetically speaking. Anti-Christ, that which is "in place of Christ" gains dominance. "The whole world wonders after the Beast." The whole world is caught up in false wonders, signs, miracles, things they can see with their own eyes and hear with their own ears and sense to the core of their beings. Peace and safety!!! We are delivered!!! It's revival time!!!
The angel of light appears, with a throng of deceptive beings, and a world's adoration. The population of an entire planet is shouting and singing and feeling great... except this one little group of people - the remnant: that small association and assemblage of admirers of the truth and the true Saviour, the true coming King. They keep the commandments of God, all ten, and keep the faith and testimony of Jesus, which is the foundation of the salvation process. They cannot stay quiet. They must speak out. "That is not your saviour. That is the enemy of your soul. That is all a deception. You are not worshiping God in spirit and in truth, you are deceived. You are admiring the Devil and his man of sin. You are in Babylon. Come out of her and be not partakers of her sins or the coming last plagues and destruction of the world."
Oh, boy. Talk about PR. Talk about how to influence people and make friends. Popularity plus. Yeah, man, the world will look so kindly on that little group, that is like the little group that began this gig, 2000 years ago. The remnant: that which remains. The people who make the final stand on Earth. The last monkey wrench in Lucifer's gears and engines of delusion and control. They must be marginalized and silenced.
It is one thing to have a boss, or company, or mayor or governor or congressman or president on your case. What about a nation? What about all nations? What about all humanity looking at you as though everything bad happening is your fault? Every tv camera. Every commentator. Every voice not on Christ's side, the true side but, the false side, ranged on you, wherever you live on the planet. When human probation closes, when the plagues begin to fall, a seething world will blame the remnant for their problems, which they created with their own disobedience and rejection of the truth.
A great shaking will remove every fake professor of faith. Shaken out when the olive tree is shaken with a force the church has never experienced before. Oh, you think you'll be "raptured" out before that time? Good luck with that. Yeah, "the devils believe, and they tremble." They tremble because they know the truth and know their day is coming. When humans find out they have followed cunningly devised fables and are facing the seven last plagues, no fear ever experienced by mankind will match the fear of that moment, as it dawns on each professor of faith in lies and falsehoods: fake news from fake preachers of righteousness; the ministers of the angel of light. The world-wide party and celebration will turn into a world-wide epic fail of unimaginable proportions, as the Adversary glares over the world he has manipulated for destruction. Invitations to grace are over. All cases decided. Light or darkness dispelled into each and every soul and all final choices made. Characters reflect the Creator, Christ Jesus, or the father of lies. Terror? You cannot imagine what the mind will feel when all humanity sees they have been locked into a religious ruse.
The righteous, the remnant facing that 'cage of every unclean and hateful bird' (predators) will be facing a death decree. You've already had your freedoms and liberties taken away. You could not buy or sell, at any price. Everything you owned was taken away. You are in a jail cell somewhere or in the "munitions of rocks," in solitary, wilderness places, waiting, crying out to God to save you. You're empty and hungry, you smell like a dump, your breath would knock a buzzard off a garbage truck, the Adversary presses your futile life upon your mind and soul and Jacob's time of trouble has arrived. You wrestle with God, pleading for his blessing even though all you see is a life of sin, and it seems hopeless. The disciples felt hopeless when Christ was crucified. Believers down through time faced fire, stakes, wild animals, the amusements of wicked; cruel, demented humans no better than beasts. You'll await your death at the hands of humans under the control of demons. All is lost.
PR? Sound like a program you want to get involved in? You against the world? Not "the State of ______ versus you. No. The world versus you.
Well, here's the thing. God is so big. He spoke the universe into being. His power is beyond comprehension. His authority is absolute. His watchcare is constant. His timing perfect. His plan infinitesimally righteous and true.
At the darkest hour of His people, His remnant, He will place before the world a scene. A scene of Heaven, that all humanity shall behold. His law, in His sanctuary, in Heaven. Yeah, the PR program is about to be fulfilled. God's law, not man's apostasy from it, will shine. God's will, not man's arrogance will be felt in every soul.. He will shake the entire planet with an earthquake such as never was. The skies will collide with treacherous motion and terrifying upheaval. The demons begin to scream like banshees because they know what is coming. They know Who is coming. Their end of reign on Earth is about to be irrevocably demolished.
In the distance a small cloud is seen in the East. It grows larger and with it a sound that is earsplitting. Flame, tempestuous flame surrounds and burns within the cloud. The brightness of Christ and His Heavenly host is more than eyes can behold but, the righteous look at it all with wonder and astonishment. The blare of the trumpets of God attend the cloud: Christ the mighty Conqueror and billions of angels attend His way. The sound is so loud the mountains crack, the oceans upheave. All the tough people, the rough ones, the powerful, the richest, the famous, the big names tremble like babies and cry for rocks and mountains to fall on them rather than see His Face. Every gate is shattered, every lock busted, every chain falls to the ground, every door explodes, every roof flies off, every cave opened to view so His people can see His return. Yeah, man, the PR program is reaching its end.
The cloud come so close but, does not touch the ground. Graves burst open and captives of death down through the ages are immortalized in newness of eternal life and vigor and bright, glorious change 'in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.' The living are immortalized. His people begin rising up to meet Him as the procession moves East to West across the globe. Hailstones the size of refrigerators fall from the sky, crushing everything in sight. The trumpets blow, the millions, the billions are rising, as the glory of Christ slays the wicked lost and the hailstones do their work of retribution and destruction; the rebels who would not bow to the will of the Sovereign of the universe are gone. The towers of man's ingenuity and intellect are gone. Everything, everything will be brought to the dust of the Earth. The mountains are laid low, the islands devoured, the nations so great, reduced to nothing.
The throng grows; the excitement of moments drowning out all the life of pain, suffering, heartache, loneliness, sorrow, rebuke and vilification. It moves steadily around the Earth, gathering up His harvest in miraculous majesty, and then, home... No spaceships. No oxygen tanks. No suits. No. Robes of pure white; bright, shining, clean, covering new skin, new organs, new eyes and ears, new minds; everything so alive it is beyond capacity to understand. The very galaxies seem to be singing. The stars blast out a symphony of triumph with the angelic host. Their trumpets never silencing throughout the grand event; the most spectacular in all human history.
The PR program reaches the end... of Earth's chapters right now. The program shall go on, forever.
"You're crazy!" Am I?
"You are nuts!" Am I?
"You're an idiot!" Am I?
"You believe in fairytales!" Do I?
You tell me how an old book predicts the rise of an empire centuries before anyone even knows it's existence, and, it's demise when such powers seem impregnable. You tell me how some old prophets wrote of a Person to come, 1000 years before He arrived and predicted detailed elements of His life and death and resurrection and return to Earth. You tell me. What? You can't? No you can't. Because a Mind infinitely greater than yours gave us the information to know beyond any reasonable doubt He can be trusted with our lives. That's His PR program: Trust, faith, hope, experience, eternal life.
If you have a better PR program, let me know. Every other one ends in death. Not one ends in life, based on the principle of love and the existence of a Sovereign Creator of the universe Who is love, and tells the end, from the beginning. Not a one. The best they come up with is returning till you get it right or you evaporate into some essence of the universe. Give me a break.
Call me a fool. Call me a fanatic. I've got the Bible telling me, with authority no other volume contains, I can have hope. What do all your science books put together tell you? That everything will come to an end when the universe collapses back in on itself.
Yeah, I'd say your PR program is worthless to change anything for the better in the hearts and minds of mankind.
As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
I still see people wearing masks, ignorant of the truth about their uselessness, even stated so by "official" spokespeople, as well as all the doctors and studies from all over the planet. I say nothing. They say nothing. We go about our business. Wear a mask if you want. I don't care. Do not tell me I have to, in your tyranny and/or total ignorance, or both.
In places where your business is now the business of tyrants, you may have lost your job, your career, your livelihood, and thereby your groceries, and have to order food online and have it delivered or you pick it up.
As you look at the condition of the world right now and think about prior times of such vilification; like Jews in Germany in WW2, or Japanese Americans during the same, or Christians in Africa or other areas of the globe where militant Islam has control, or even in America where Christians have been sued, even jailed for things like not baking something for homosexuals who want to get married, or not signing a marriage license for them (yes, it is as stupid and ignorant and unAmerican as it reads), we have all seen man's inhumanity to man. Tyranny is ever with the human race, somewhere, all the time. Most of us, collectively, do not undergo the terrifying aspects of such vilification and rejection by cultural societies. That is changing.
True Christianity has never been completely accepted by any civilization or culture. Never. There has always been harassment, oppression or persecution, wherever true Christianity has made an impact. Why is that? Even in America, where religion is Constitutionally protected, Christians have suffered at the hands of the irreligious, the zealots, the ignorant and the professed Christian hypocrites in positions of power or control.
There is little PR (Public Relations) that supports the lifechanging positions Christians take up in society. Even though anywhere true Christianity is, is made better for its presence, false Christianity has given it a bad name and the innocent are charged with the idiocy of the ignorant.
Look at this passage:
2Tim 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2Tim 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2Tim 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
2Tim 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Tim 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Perilous times have come and shall come at the hands of those who have a form of godliness but, deny its power to truly transform someone's life, and those who are transformed?
2Tim 3:10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
2Tim 3:11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
2Tim 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
2Tim 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
Paul describes his life after his conversion. What a PR program! Talk about exciting news to get people to sign up! If you do, you are told if you live godly in Christ YOU SHALL SUFFER PERSECUTION and the worst of it may come at the hands of hypocrites and fake Christians who have a form of godliness: all the trappings - church-goers, leaders, active members, visiting the sick, the incarcerated, handing out tracts and literature, and selling all kinds of merchandise in book stores... 'Lord, Lord, we did all these things in Your name! Why can't we get in!!?? Because I never knew you. Depart from me, you workers of iniquity because you refused to do the will of My Father in Heaven.'
Whew. Big PR right there. Being busy for the Lord is no guarantee you get through the gates. And you want to talk about false doctrine? Consider the millions of believers who sincerely believe God chooses people to be saved or lost so, no matter what you choose, no matter what you may think your experience is in Christ, if God has chosen you to be lost, that's unfortunate but, hey. We cannot challenge the Lord's decisions. To "hell" you go.
Personally, I cannot think of a worse character assassination upon the LORD. It is so atrocious it is nauseating to me. I have gone back and forth with believers who follow that line of unreasonable fodder and regardless of the mountain of consistent Scripture that states, point blank otherwise, they refuse to see it. They cannot gainsay, they cannot refute but, they refuse, they reject simple truth because they cannot admit they have been wrong. They cannot accept they have been taught something that is not completely in harmony with the entire testimony of the Bible. Some have shouted at me and stormed off or collectively looked at me with eyes that would kill if they could. When professed believers encounter truth versus their error they can get downright nasty. I have seen it far too many times. I have been literally threatened by professed believers. If the stocks still existed, I'd have been placed in them.
Now, with that background, think of what is coming, prophetically speaking. Anti-Christ, that which is "in place of Christ" gains dominance. "The whole world wonders after the Beast." The whole world is caught up in false wonders, signs, miracles, things they can see with their own eyes and hear with their own ears and sense to the core of their beings. Peace and safety!!! We are delivered!!! It's revival time!!!
The angel of light appears, with a throng of deceptive beings, and a world's adoration. The population of an entire planet is shouting and singing and feeling great... except this one little group of people - the remnant: that small association and assemblage of admirers of the truth and the true Saviour, the true coming King. They keep the commandments of God, all ten, and keep the faith and testimony of Jesus, which is the foundation of the salvation process. They cannot stay quiet. They must speak out. "That is not your saviour. That is the enemy of your soul. That is all a deception. You are not worshiping God in spirit and in truth, you are deceived. You are admiring the Devil and his man of sin. You are in Babylon. Come out of her and be not partakers of her sins or the coming last plagues and destruction of the world."
Oh, boy. Talk about PR. Talk about how to influence people and make friends. Popularity plus. Yeah, man, the world will look so kindly on that little group, that is like the little group that began this gig, 2000 years ago. The remnant: that which remains. The people who make the final stand on Earth. The last monkey wrench in Lucifer's gears and engines of delusion and control. They must be marginalized and silenced.
It is one thing to have a boss, or company, or mayor or governor or congressman or president on your case. What about a nation? What about all nations? What about all humanity looking at you as though everything bad happening is your fault? Every tv camera. Every commentator. Every voice not on Christ's side, the true side but, the false side, ranged on you, wherever you live on the planet. When human probation closes, when the plagues begin to fall, a seething world will blame the remnant for their problems, which they created with their own disobedience and rejection of the truth.
A great shaking will remove every fake professor of faith. Shaken out when the olive tree is shaken with a force the church has never experienced before. Oh, you think you'll be "raptured" out before that time? Good luck with that. Yeah, "the devils believe, and they tremble." They tremble because they know the truth and know their day is coming. When humans find out they have followed cunningly devised fables and are facing the seven last plagues, no fear ever experienced by mankind will match the fear of that moment, as it dawns on each professor of faith in lies and falsehoods: fake news from fake preachers of righteousness; the ministers of the angel of light. The world-wide party and celebration will turn into a world-wide epic fail of unimaginable proportions, as the Adversary glares over the world he has manipulated for destruction. Invitations to grace are over. All cases decided. Light or darkness dispelled into each and every soul and all final choices made. Characters reflect the Creator, Christ Jesus, or the father of lies. Terror? You cannot imagine what the mind will feel when all humanity sees they have been locked into a religious ruse.
The righteous, the remnant facing that 'cage of every unclean and hateful bird' (predators) will be facing a death decree. You've already had your freedoms and liberties taken away. You could not buy or sell, at any price. Everything you owned was taken away. You are in a jail cell somewhere or in the "munitions of rocks," in solitary, wilderness places, waiting, crying out to God to save you. You're empty and hungry, you smell like a dump, your breath would knock a buzzard off a garbage truck, the Adversary presses your futile life upon your mind and soul and Jacob's time of trouble has arrived. You wrestle with God, pleading for his blessing even though all you see is a life of sin, and it seems hopeless. The disciples felt hopeless when Christ was crucified. Believers down through time faced fire, stakes, wild animals, the amusements of wicked; cruel, demented humans no better than beasts. You'll await your death at the hands of humans under the control of demons. All is lost.
PR? Sound like a program you want to get involved in? You against the world? Not "the State of ______ versus you. No. The world versus you.
Well, here's the thing. God is so big. He spoke the universe into being. His power is beyond comprehension. His authority is absolute. His watchcare is constant. His timing perfect. His plan infinitesimally righteous and true.

491. Is Klaus Schwab the Enemy? - January 30, 2022
Well... yes and no.
The Bible states this, emphatically:
Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Ultimately, the battles all humanity wages against are at the hands of Lucifer and the third of the angelic host who rebelled with him. They are the liars, the connivers and manipulators, the instigators, the steady flow of poison into human minds who let it in. They are the foundational enemies that have the lion's share of control.
The thing is, they groom agents, they lure agents, they use agents after their own darkness, and every minute of every day those agents spread their darkness and deceits and deeds somewhere on this planet.
Right now, Klaus Schwab, leader of the World Economic Forum, is the big boogeyman among Conservatives. One might have thought Bill Gates or George Soros could not be dethroned but, I see Schwab's name all over the place, lately.
We are all becoming used to Schwab's comment about everyone will own nothing and be happy. Talk about 1984 in our face. Demented. Here's a statement I just read, from an interview Schwab gave in 2017:
Schwab: “Yes, actually, there’s this notion to integrate young leaders as part of the World Economic Forum since many years. And I have to say, when I mentioned now names like Mrs. [Angela] Merkel, even Vladimir Putin, and so on, they all have been Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum. But what we are very proud of now, the young generation like Prime Minister Trudeau, president of Argentina [Alberto Fernández], and so on, that we penetrate the cabinets. So, yesterday, I was at a reception for Prime Minister Trudeau, and I know that half of his cabinet or even more than half of his cabinet are actually Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Form.”
https://rairfoundation.com/great-reset-globalist-klaus-schwab-explains-govt-takeover-of-industry-in-unearthed-video-must-see/
So, we already knew Trudeau is a globalist pawn and dreadful hypocrite, and the truckers have more than enough reasons to drive to that guy's front door and tell him to back off, they and Canadians have had it with his BS and smiling tyranny.
But, for Schwab to know more than half Trudeau's cabinet are cut from the same cloth, educated and trained from the same engine of totalitarianism? I logically ask myself how many such global leaders in Australia, Austria, the USA, and other nations are from the same devilish, policy-making cesspool?
I have used the term "angle of light" vigorously in getting into last-day events. The context is important.
2Cor 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
2Cor 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
2Cor 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Okay, so, what do we have? Paul is out their preaching and teaching, raising up new churches everywhere he travels. He is constantly going up against Judaizers; Jewish clergy, or professed Christian leaders bent on stopping him from spreading his "heresy" as they deem it. They call Paul a thief, dipping into offerings everywhere he goes. They call him a braggart, making a big deal out of all the churches he has raised among the Gentiles, while they, themselves make a big deal out of their own ministries. Paul tells it like it is. They are false, deceitful, professed ministers of righteousness just working for their master the devil; who transforms himself into an angel of light.
Klaus Schwab is not the newest, biggest boogeyman. He is just a pawn for his master. His god may be money, power, control, stuff... I don't care and it does not matter. His god is not Jehovah. His master is not Iesou Christos.
Schwab began as a baby like everybody else. I don't know his life history. It does not matter. It may provide insights into how he got to the place he's at but, he has made his choices and is a dangerous person, with ideas and agendas that are antithetical to the gifts of God to humanity in freedoms and liberties of choice and pursuit of happiness, even if mankind chooses to walk away from Him in their pursuits. Man is free to decide for himself who shall be his deity. Would that God could reach down and shake each person about to make wrong decisions for their lives and others. He cannot and remain true to His own character and principles. A judgment day will come for each and every person, and responsibility and accountability for every thought, every word, and every deed done in life shall be rendered with just penalty. The wages of sin is death. The gift of God is salvation as a free gift that shall cost you everything so you can gain everything. Think of Christ's parable of the pearl.
A man stumbles upon a pearl in a field. He is an honest man and does not pocket it. He rushes home, sells everything he has and goes and buys the field to gain the pearl of great price. His wife thinks he has flown off the hinges. Then he brings home the pearl and wide eyes fill the house.
Jesus is the pearl. He is the fortune waiting to be had if we will surrender all we are and have to God.
Klaus Schwab and his cabal want to be everything to everybody. He thinks he and his cohorts can balance out the problems in our world by controlling everyone. They'll own nothing and be happy because Schwabby and company will provide everything we all need. How divine of them. How thoughtful. How diabolical.
Somewhere along his life's timeline, Schwab warped. He is gathering other warped souls into and under his policies. They're like him. They follow their father, the devil, the adversary, Lucifer, the light bearer who went into darkness of mind.
So yes, Schwab is mankind's enemy. He has plans to turn all humanity into physical, digital, biologic entities with computer chips in our brains, something Elon Musk claims he's close to achieving. TRANSHUMANISM. The fusion of humanity with technology.
https://rairfoundation.com/exposed-meet-klaus-schwabs-2021-class-of-great-reset-soldiers/
But Schwab is just under the influence, if not control of the fallen angel who seeks to bring havoc and destruction upon the world, all in the name of "fairness," "equality," and "equity." Satan has these pawns all over the globe, their numbers are growing and as always, we see the Vatican and this Pope are part of the fun:
https://rairfoundation.com/archbishop-pope-francis-is-a-zealous-cooperator-of-the-globalist-great-reset-plot-video/
But, we ask ourselves the obvious, logical question, How is it Archbishop Vigano is allowed to speak his mind against "Papa?" The Pope is claimed to be the representative of Christ on Earth; holding the place of God on Earth. How is Vigano getting away with his rebukes of "Papa's" wheeling and dealing? How does he get to question "the Holy Father's" agenda? It is strange, indeed and worthy of close watching.
Francis, Schwab, Fauci, Gates, Biden, the Clintons and dozens, hundreds, if not thousands of other names in cogs and wheels, including popes and prelates, all under the influence and control of "the angel of light," and the big dog and pony show yet awaits.
Personally, while I might hope these agents of the Adversary are converted and born-again through God's grace, I tend to believe they have sold their souls to Satan and are on the fast train to perdition. There is no turning back for them. Power is too intoxicating and addictive. All that remains is mankind's reviling of them and their prosecution now, or before the judgment bar of God someday. Either way, their days are numbered.
So, we rise up, speak the truth, take the stand, and leave the results with God.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
The Bible states this, emphatically:
Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

https://rairfoundation.com/exposed-meet-klaus-schwabs-2021-class-of-great-reset-soldiers/
But Schwab is just under the influence, if not control of the fallen angel who seeks to bring havoc and destruction upon the world, all in the name of "fairness," "equality," and "equity." Satan has these pawns all over the globe, their numbers are growing and as always, we see the Vatican and this Pope are part of the fun:
https://rairfoundation.com/archbishop-pope-francis-is-a-zealous-cooperator-of-the-globalist-great-reset-plot-video/
But, we ask ourselves the obvious, logical question, How is it Archbishop Vigano is allowed to speak his mind against "Papa?" The Pope is claimed to be the representative of Christ on Earth; holding the place of God on Earth. How is Vigano getting away with his rebukes of "Papa's" wheeling and dealing? How does he get to question "the Holy Father's" agenda? It is strange, indeed and worthy of close watching.
Francis, Schwab, Fauci, Gates, Biden, the Clintons and dozens, hundreds, if not thousands of other names in cogs and wheels, including popes and prelates, all under the influence and control of "the angel of light," and the big dog and pony show yet awaits.
Personally, while I might hope these agents of the Adversary are converted and born-again through God's grace, I tend to believe they have sold their souls to Satan and are on the fast train to perdition. There is no turning back for them. Power is too intoxicating and addictive. All that remains is mankind's reviling of them and their prosecution now, or before the judgment bar of God someday. Either way, their days are numbered.
So, we rise up, speak the truth, take the stand, and leave the results with God.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
**71% Believe**
A total of 71% of Americans strongly or moderately believe there is life, besides on Earth, in the Milky Way galaxy. We are not alone.
https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/71-americans-believe-we-are-not-alone-universe
As many as 77% believe there is a possibility of some kind of microscopic lifeform in our galaxy. That's pretty high when no evidence can be put forth to prove that.
I believe life exists out there because of things the Bible states, having nothing to do with UFOs or UAPs, etc.
I hope you can see what is building here. I remain completely convinced "ET" is somehow being used by the father of lies to deceive the global populace into a final rebellion against God. Yep. No doubt in my mind. I don't know how, don't know when, don't know where but, I know who and why. That's easy.
Rev 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Rev 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Rev 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Rev 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Think about it, logically. Sure, there are deceptions in religions, and religion will be used to deceive, right to the very end. The supernatural and paranormal will be used; spiritualism, along with false religion. That's all Satan's stock and trade. The world is moving away from religion, though. The world's mind is becoming more secularized, more Materialistic and Naturalistic, in believing how the universe got here, even though zip for empirical proof exists for that, as well. More and more people professing religious faith are dropping creation "myths" and going with the everything-from-nothing scenario. Yeah, I know. It's crazy but...
Then there's technology, which is the biggest thing going, and all the stories of parallel worlds and multiple universes. Now those are fairytales, if you want some. At least the Bible offers prophecy fulfillments to have faith in it. The multi-verse is total fantasy.
So, with all the proposed "evidence" of extra-terrestrials visiting, and science convincing people there must be life out there, and probably in a whole bevy of universes to boot, what would you use to deceive people, if you know your time is short?
I'm going with a satanic circus of "Contact."

492. The Pope IS a COMMUNIST
When commentators refer to Pope Francis as a Communist, they are not being unjustly critical. Whether from a Protestant, doctrinal position or a secular, political position, Francis is a danger to his own church, certainly, and to the greater free world.
In the last week Pontifex Maximus has given speeches where his leadership should be called into question. Notice. Yesterday, January 31, Francis spoke to Italian tax collectors. His belief is not cradled in theological bedding. He flat out stated -
"Legality in the tax field is a way to balance social relations, subtracting forces from corruption, injustice and inequality. But this requires some training and cultural change. As is often said, in fact, the taxman is seen as a "putting their hands in their pockets" to people. In reality, taxation is a sign of legality and justice. It must favor the redistribution of wealth, protecting the dignity of the poor and the least, who always risk being crushed by the powerful. The tax, when it is right, is a function of the common good."
"You have listed among those things that the taxman supports, doctors. Please continue with the free healthcare system, please! And this comes from the taxman. Defend him. Because we will not have to fall into a paid healthcare system, where the poor have no right to anything. One of the beautiful things that Italy has is this: please keep it."
Both Communism, the forced redistribution of wealth; and socialism; government run services, like healthcare, are amply put on display by this Pope.
First, while the leader of more than a billion people in his flock looks back into antiquity to show how all civilizations have used taxes and tax systems, I'm questioning the use of taxes in a Western culture to help the poor. No, taxes were used to enrich kings and build armies and enlarge territories of ancient and modern nations. Marxism; this fantasy that government should take from the rich and give to the poor, has been a complete failure; a constant, consistent failure because corruption always interferes. The USSR was anything but, a balanced and fair system. It's legality was tyranny. The same goes for Cuba, China, North Korea and all Communist nations.
In Israel the nation had the system of tithes and offerings to help the priesthood, who had no inheritance of land for the tribe of Levi, chosen to be the priests of the theocracy; and free-will offerings, or a second tithe, was used to help the poor. God's system was fair and balanced. In the New Testament it is the same, tithes and offerings.
Rome did not tax to help anyone or anything thing but, itself, as a crushing power on Earth; the largest empire in antiquity; the very thing the Pope says legality in taxes should prevent. Rome crushed, just as prophecy predicted.
Government theft from the wealthy to help the poor will always fail simply because the number of people requiring assistance becomes greater than the collective class of people with the wealth, providing jobs and making profits. Right now, if the US government took all the money from all the wealthy, all of it, you would get a couple months of machinery of government paid for. Then it all comes to a screeching halt. Government is never the answer, it is always the problem. It is never the solution. It naturally gets bloated and corrupt. Which is why religion and guns are always under attack in nations where government runs everything. Freedom and liberty are dangerous to tyranny. They must be controlled. This is society and history 101.
The Pope even states the fact:
"Transparent money: this is the goal. The taxman is often perceived in a negative way if you do not understand where and how public money is spent. There is a risk of fueling suspicion and discontent. Whoever manages everyone's wealth has a grave responsibility not to get rich."
Well, that has been the end of every system of government known to man, even in God's ancient theocracy. Corruption is never an inactive force when politicians, mere mortal sinners, realize how easy it is to get money through taxation and spend it frivolously or aggrandize one's own war chest for further political contests and a career in politics. That is exactly what the Founders sought to deny. Citizens were to offer some time away from businesses and farms to run the new government for temporary periods and then go back to their lives in the free markets provided by this Constitutional Republic.
There is more in that speech that is dangerous and you can find it here:
https://cnsnews.com/article/international/cnsnewscom-staff/pope-francis-taxation-sign-legality-and-justice-it-must
I'd like to move on to another speech, one Francis gave Friday, January 28. It is an alarming statement of fascism this pope supports.
"ROME (AP) — Pope Francis denounced fake news about COVID-19 and vaccines Friday, blasting the “distortion of reality based on fear” but also urging that people who believe such lies are helped to understand true scientific facts.
"Francis met with Catholic journalists who have formed a fact-checking network to try to combat misinformation about the pandemic. Francis has frequently called for responsible journalism that searches for the truth and respects individuals, and his meeting with the “Catholic fact-checking” media consortium furthered that message.
“We can hardly fail to see that these days, in addition to the pandemic, an ‘infodemic’ is spreading: a distortion of reality based on fear, which in our global society leads to an explosion of commentary on falsified if not invented news,” Francis said.""
https://reclaimthenet.org/pope-francis-criticizes-social-media-for-allowing-misinformation-to-spread/
This is a jaw dropping barrel of spin. Like all other technocrats, the Pope sides with them in the dispensing of what "official" sources call "mis and disinformation." It needs to be stopped. We can't have people exposed to needless fear. They need to follow the "official" science and "official" "experts" and get their shots - when that very source has used all the fearmongering necessary for two years to gain access to humanities veins and inject them with fluids they knew caused at least 27 different adverse reactions, to now, over 40 existing among multiplied millions of people around the globe. There is no possible way the Pope is ignorant of that truth.
This leads to one logical conclusion and one logical conclusion only. Pope Francis knows what is happening around the world, with actual data on the actual dangers of an actual man-made, manipulated virus made in a biological warfare lab in Wuhan China, passing from a lab in North Carolina to China, via Anthony Fauci's NIH and its own wealth redistribution; as well as the intended actual adverse reactions of the new, experimental "vaccines." The Vatican has a vast information gathering system which keeps it abreast of everything going on in the world; a world it believes it should be top dog of. For Francis to bypass the facts, the data, the truth of this "plandemic" and toxic injection program makes him culpable, as part of the cabal trying to take control. Citizens are now attempting to take the Fauci, Gates, Schwab cabal to court for crimes against humanity! You think the Pope is ignorant of all this? No. He is siding with the entities he believes will come out on top and ultimately gain control over them.
Denmark, one of the first nations to go hysterical over the event, has now dropped all government restrictions upon its citizenry. Sweden never did lock down and is fine. England has reduced, to a minimum its restrictions. The entire globe is rising up against tyranny and while the Pope is supposed to be the guy who claims the right to lead the world, he is supporting the technocrats censoring all avenues of truth and injecting people with a dangerous and deadly, fake "vaccine." Not conspiracy theory, not fake news, not misinformation - TRUTH!
This is all par for the course for 'the man of sin.' The entire history of the Roman Catholic Church is a huge, mis and disinformation campaign. That is why it is the sole, possible entity that can be regarded as the "anti-Christ" in Bible prophecy; the only power in history meeting all the marks in Scripture describing that seat of the dragon.
This is no joke, Dear Reader. Pope Francis, like all popes, have a world map they consider. "We hold on Earth, the place of God Almighty." That is the doctrine. That is the practice. That is the end goal. All in the name of Jesus, which is why the destruction of the RCC and its Papacy and Vatican is assured. God will bring it down. It has put itself "in place of Christ." It is the power of apostasy and corruption prophecy focuses on.
He that has eyes and ears, let them realize the truth of what is building around free, liberty-loving citizens of Earth.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

493. Monday, Monday - February 2, 2022
The Mamas and Papas, one of the premier singing groups of the 60s, had great a hit, "Monday, Monday."
"Monday, Monday. Can't trust that day."
If I had a nickel for every Monday that contained an epic fail for trying to record a video for my YT channel, I'd have a fair pocket full of change to spend.
Well, to honor the LORD, who has kept me alive and kicking for another year since the stroke the last weekend of January, 2021, I thought I'd make a new video of the expanded, stacked plywood ring set. It just keeps getting bigger and a lot of fun to play.
"Monday, Monday" struck again. I could not play to save my life. After an hour of recording, I gave up and walked away.
I thought I'd try again yesterday and said, 'Nope. That's reality. That's life. Upload it as is.' I'm uploading the third attempt as I type; twenty minutes of - *You have got to be kidding me.* There was a time when anger would have hailed forth a torrent of self-doubt and cursing the darkness. Maybe getting older mellows us out but, I had to find it all typically humorous because I knew, I just knew nothing was going to go right.
I wonder if a pole or survey was taken, how many musicians experience the same thing: when the Red light goes on, brain freeze takes over. The mind is so incredibly complex; processing so much information in so little time, setting up a self-fulfilling prophecy seems to be a given at times.
It could be worse. Last week, as I tucked myself in behind that set, squeezing between cymbals and gong, the gong stand fell over. Next thing I know a gigantic explosion of metals hitting metals and drums took place and while I'm trying to hold up the gong stand and a few cymbal stands, the H8 recorder tipped over and hit the floor, the tilter of one of the cymbal stands broke and off dropped a China, taking chips out of wood hoops with it before it stopped crashing around, while the gong came off the stand, rumbling into the southern wall of the house, and when the noise subsided, I just stood there, in shock, not knowing what to let go of first.
Just one of those days. I've had smaller mishaps down through the years. That was the mother of all drum set crash and burns, for me. I actually wish I did have that on video. Now that would have made a pretty interesting YT upload.
Playing solo, for me, as much as I enjoy the challenge, is nerve racking enough, especially since the stroke. I have a slightly more difficult or slow time thinking ahead. Pulling off moves just seems to become new territory and a nanosecond of time blips out or worse, negative thoughts of a fail hit me like jumping off a cliff and next thing I know sticks take wing in every direction.
I had already tried recording something a few weeks before. I had the entire front of the set taken down, waiting for a new rack pipe to be delivered. I thought, 'Hm, what can I come up with with just left and right to work with?' It was a Monday, and already my brain was going into overdrive and telling me it was going to be a train wreck. Sure enough...
All drummers, all musicians develop habits; go-to moves you can play in your sleep. When your mind starts telling you the flow is not there, even those moves become brand new and that nanosecond hits and brain freeze, muscle memory paralyzation takes place and the house of cards comes down to one degree or another, player to player. For me, I sit there and try to figure it out. Just stop thinking that way. Have fun, forget the camera, forget it's Monday, forget the past.
More easily thought, than done.
I don't do this for a living and frankly, I can't remember a time when live or when the recording light went on, I had a constant surge of falling apart every couple of minutes but, I was always with other musicians. That creates an inventive atmosphere with more going on than just what I'm doing. I have always dropped my sticks but, just grab another and keep moving. It happens to every player out there, even the biggest names that ever sat behind a set of drums. Bodies and brains are just not perfect machines. As much computing and movement takes place, striking a stick on the edge of something that causes a drop just happens sometimes. Especially is that the case as the kit gets bigger, more involved and densely packed. Even the best players using a basic 4 pc. set can drop sticks. I've seen it.
I remember watching a YT video of one of Count Basie's drummers, playing a solo. He dropped every stick he had and a musician from the band had to pick one up off the floor and hand it to him. These were the best players in music. That is being live on stage, in the moment, and human. I've seen Buddy drop a stick. You do not get any more coordinated than Buddy Rich.
It isn't just dropping a stick though. For most, you get over any five second embarrassment when you grab another stick and keep going. Dropping both sticks? Yeah, that's epic fail time. At least drummers can keep time moving with their feet but, trying to record a YT video...
If I had a dime for all the video recording that never sees light of day I'd have enough pocket change for a tank of gas. In this case, as I wrote in the info box at YT, I'm just a temporary citizen of planet Earth and days like this come along to make the universe laugh a little. It's reality. It's life. You just keep marching along. Time forces that. It ain't stoppin' for anyone. Keep up, better days come along.
I'd actually love to see videos of top name musicians blowing takes. Humanity takes no prisoners.
I decided to upload parts of those two Mondays, in tribute to all the YouTubers who just have one of those days.
"Monday, Monday. Sometimes it just works out that way."

For me, I sit there and try to figure it out. Just stop thinking that way. Have fun, forget the camera, forget it's Monday, forget the past.
More easily thought, than done.
I don't do this for a living and frankly, I can't remember a time when live or when the recording light went on, I had a constant surge of falling apart every couple of minutes but, I was always with other musicians. That creates an inventive atmosphere with more going on than just what I'm doing. I have always dropped my sticks but, just grab another and keep moving. It happens to every player out there, even the biggest names that ever sat behind a set of drums. Bodies and brains are just not perfect machines. As much computing and movement takes place, striking a stick on the edge of something that causes a drop just happens sometimes. Especially is that the case as the kit gets bigger, more involved and densely packed. Even the best players using a basic 4 pc. set can drop sticks. I've seen it.
I remember watching a YT video of one of Count Basie's drummers, playing a solo. He dropped every stick he had and a musician from the band had to pick one up off the floor and hand it to him. These were the best players in music. That is being live on stage, in the moment, and human. I've seen Buddy drop a stick. You do not get any more coordinated than Buddy Rich.
It isn't just dropping a stick though. For most, you get over any five second embarrassment when you grab another stick and keep going. Dropping both sticks? Yeah, that's epic fail time. At least drummers can keep time moving with their feet but, trying to record a YT video...
If I had a dime for all the video recording that never sees light of day I'd have enough pocket change for a tank of gas. In this case, as I wrote in the info box at YT, I'm just a temporary citizen of planet Earth and days like this come along to make the universe laugh a little. It's reality. It's life. You just keep marching along. Time forces that. It ain't stoppin' for anyone. Keep up, better days come along.
I'd actually love to see videos of top name musicians blowing takes. Humanity takes no prisoners.
I decided to upload parts of those two Mondays, in tribute to all the YouTubers who just have one of those days.
"Monday, Monday. Sometimes it just works out that way."

494. I Actually Agree With Whoopie? - February 2, 2022
Well, as much as I have no interest in Whoopie Goldberg and things she says, I have to agree with her, over the recent backlash of comments she made on 'The View.'
"I mean, it's about the Holocaust, the killing of six million people, but that didn't bother you?
"If you're going to do this, then let's be truthful about it. Because the Holocaust isn't about race. No, it's not about race."
Co-host Joy Behar pointed out that the Nazis said the Jews were a different race.
Goldberg said: "But it's not about race. It's not. It's about man's inhumanity to other man."
"But it's about white supremacy," responded co-host Ana Navarro. "It's about going after Jews and Gypsies and Roma."
"But these are two white groups of people," countered Goldberg.
Co-host Sara Haines pointed out that the Nazis "didn't see them as white".
Goldberg continued: "But you're missing the point! The minute you turn it into race, it goes down this alley. Let's talk about it for what it is. It's how people treat each other. It's a problem."
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-60209527
First, my position once again. There is one race: the human race. The amount of melanin in someone's skin, or what continent they originate from, does not make a separate race of humans. That is the social engineering of godless Leftists, who still cannot agree on what race actually is. Caucazoid, Mongoloid, Negroid... it's all BS, and has been used to cause more pain, suffering and death than any other issue of the 19th and 20th centuries, into the 21st.
Jews are not a race. Jews are a culture, with a religious creed. They are not a separate race of people and it does not matter what the Nazis thought. The Nazis were lunatics. Since when do lunatics get to decide what race people are? Well, I could take that back because lunatics are in control of America right now and everything is inside out and upside down as a result.
Define how Jewish people are a race. If race means geographic region, that doesn't settle anything. It cannot mean religion. The law of the land states race, creed, religion, place of origin, etc. Race is seen as different than religion.
What makes Jews a separate race? Not region of origin. Plenty of cultures and people groups were living in that region before Israelites, and have ever since. They are not a separate race of people because of their geographical region, and more Jews live beyond Israel than within its borders.
As usual, the media has gone apoplectic and hysterical over someone's comments that do not fit the normal narrative. Goldberg said nothing that should be offensive to anyone. She is exactly correct. The Nazis were Caucasians who murdered other Caucasians, if you want to be "racist" about it. Not because of skin color or geographic location but, a perceived aspect of Jewish culture and the beliefs and policy of Adolph Hitler, who was THE lunatic of the 20th century, joined by others of equal or worse-than lunacy.
As soon as I saw this in the sidebar at YT, while placing a couple new videos up on my channel, I knew I had to state my own comments.
Are Italian Catholics a race? Are American Protestants a race? Are Hindis a race? What about Indian Buddhists? No. They are not.
Are Americans a race? Are Canadians a race? Are Mexicans a race? No. They are not.
Then what makes Jews a race? Far more than 6 million Christians have been killed for their faith. Try hundreds of millions, from all denominational backgrounds.
Gypsies are not a race. They are a culture group. I am so sick of "RACE." It's insane.
Goldberg, forced to apologize, twice now, is allowing her own Leftist culture to castigate her. She should, if her point is a correct principle, hold her ground. The hysterical gatekeepers are wrong. Calling Jews Caucasian, White, is not a denial of the Holocaust. It is playing into the hands of social engineering gatekeepers. They need to just shut up.
Don't even come close to calling me racist or anti-Semitic. I'm a Bible-believing Christian that has read about the biblical history of the Jews for four decades now, believing what the apostle Paul stated in the book of Hebrews:
Heb 11:32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
Heb 11:33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
Heb 11:34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
Heb 11:35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
Heb 11:36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
Heb 11:37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
Heb 11:38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
Heb 11:39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
Heb 11:40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
Every class of people, every nation, ever group has both nice people and levels of not so nice people, even animals within them.
Two classes of life kill their own - Ants and Humans. Humans are the most dangerous form of life on planet Earth. Skin color has zip to do with it. Man's inhumanity to man is the constant testimony that mankind needs severe help. Without the plan of salvation, mankind is lost, should be lost, and has zero reason for hope.
I don't know if Whoopie Goldberg has a connection to her Saviour. I hope she develops one. At the least, she should hold the line on her position because, as much as I might disagree with her on everything else, she's correct on this one.

The Reese Report
I almost hate to link this website, new to me, because what is on it is not just more of the same that has been reported but, he has a way of condensing it into mindboggling reports. I mean, our world is under attack from lunatics bent on planetary control through technology. That includes technology implanted in humans.
God help us.

The Disinformation Dozen
You cannot make this stuff up. The Biden administration came up with the dirty dozen of Covid disinformation. Remember. Misinformation is mistaken. Disinformation is on purpose; you know what you are doing.
Want the list? Of course you do. You need to be warned, right. Do not expect to see many prestigious medical professionals on the list. There are some doctors, yes, but, none are listed as Dr. _____. They are supposedly responsible for 65% of the disinformation being spread on the internet, especially the social platforms, which the report is about: stopping anything that goes against the official narrative. It's a manual on censorship. 1984. 20th century Marxists would be so proud.
1. Joseph Mercola. He's a Doctor but, why list that? Nobody needs to know he's a registered physician, right?
2. Robert Kennedy Jr. They refer to him as an antivaxxer. Regardless of how many times he states he is NOT anti-vaccine; he is anti-toxic, dangerous ingredients in vaccines, it does not matter. Leftists lie. That is their thing.
3. Ty and Charlene Bollinger. I have no idea who they are but, reading the report lets me know whoever wrote it is ignorant of the truth.
4. Sherri Tenpenny. Well known doctor involved in natural health. More... you know, this entire report is a disinformation campaign. It's all propaganda warfare. Who will you believe?
5. Rizza Islam. I have no idea who he is.
6. Rashid Buttar. He was one of the front-runners standing up in 2020. Dr. Buttar takes no prisoners. Would I love to see any one of these unfortunate ninnies in Biden's administration debate that man. They would not know what struck them.
7. Erin Elizabeth. Apparently she is associated with Dr. Mercola. I know nothing about her.
8. Sayer Ji. Never heard of him.
9. Kelly Brogan. Beats me. Apparently associated with Ji.
10. Christiane Northrup. Another physician, unknown to me, into natural health.
11. Ben Tapper. Another doctor, a chiropractor. Never heard of him.
12. Kevin Jenkins. Apparently he has spoken at events Robert Kennedy has spoken at. Hm. Guilt by association?
The people who put this report together are morons. I hate to be so blunt but, there is no other conclusion I could reach reading the absolutely opposite of the truth on every page.
Frankly, not knowing who 8 of the 12 are, well, 13 with the husband and wife team, I can easily imagine any of these people mopping the floor with any Biden administration choice in a debate on the topics of Covid 19 and vaccine efficacy/dangers. All these people would have to do is bring the data and evidence with them and sink the ships without saying a word on their own, if they were not public speaker-types. If they are, PLEASE, challenge any of them to a debate with Anthony Fauci or Biden's surgeon general, Vivek Murthy. The entire world would watch that slaughter. I would. And I would not feel sorry for Biden's champion to get unwound and unthreaded like an old sweater and be embarrassed to tears. Lies cannot be allowed to stand.
You'll notice two of the most prominent people standing up and drawing attention are not on the list: Drs. Robert Malone and Peter McCullough. You could add another 20,000 doctors to that list and any of them would run circles around a Biden admin. spokesperson. How about Jen Psaki? The poor thing would collapse from emotional drainage standing in front of billions of people, attempting to defend the biggest lies in the last century and a half.
So, there you go. 13 individuals you might want to check out. They are saying the exact opposite of what the report calls truth. That means, the 13 are probably broadcasting real truth. I know some of them certainly are. It goes without saying. Do they promote error? I don't know. Maybe. I know Biden lies every day, and Fauci, and all the rest of the cabal. I know the cabal is having the world injected with experimental fluids newly called "vaccines."
My thanks to those putting themselves out there, under incredible attacks and pressures, and any and all others trying to get the messages out to anybody and everybody. Ultimately, you can bet this dirty dozen report will only send more people to their information sites, even if all the tech censors remove them from their platforms.

495. Rogan Relents - January 24, 2022
I have only watched a few Joe Rogan podcasts, literally, and snippets of others that get into the news cycles.
Frankly, from what little I have seen I got the impression Rogan could not care less what anybody thinks of him or his podcast: not the guests, not the subject matter, not his decorum and use of foul language; when he seems to feel he's in the presence of those who would not be offended by it; meaning he does not care if anyone in his audience is offended by it. He and his guests just carry on conversations as he would in his own home. I assume he has children. Maybe they are of an age and culture that hearing their father use rough language is not a big deal to him or them.
So, if he's the tough guy, MMA cage-fight fan, announcer, promoter, whatever how is it he is bothered by Leftist "woke" mob minions and their handlers so fervently, if not frothing at the mouth, objecting to his conversations with Malone and McCullough? Thousands of podcasts and those two medical professionals, tops in their fields, wreak havoc among viewers and those who have probably never seen one, single podcast of his? They're just protesting because their comrades in wokeness are.
The protesting was quite expected though. Truth drives Leftists into feeding frenzies. They cry for blood.
The issue now is, why has Rogan told everyone he made a mistake and should have more people on who believe the opposite of Malone and McCullough? Has he ever done that before? I haven't seen any examples brought up by anyone.
Spotify. Did the owners side with his first amendment rights or, did they make a deal with Rogan? They'll side with him and leave Neil Young and Joni Mitchell at the roadside, IF he relents, apologizes and promises to put people on his podcast who will render another position? That's what he says he will now do. And who will that be? Fauci? Gates? Some Leftist podcaster that worships at the feet of Saint Fauci? I saw an article last night about some Leftist ranting and raving and they showed a picture of her with a picture of Fauci on her wall! Maybe Rogan should get her. I didn't read the article. The picture spoke ten thousand words to me.
I have no dog in this fight between Rogan, Spotify, and Rogan's new detractors and would be Inquisitors and stake burners. I know what I believe and why, and what Rogan talks about makes no difference to me. I have no desire to hear him take the Lord's name in vain every few minutes and I have no particular interests in guests I have seen he's had on. I watched his interview with Bob Lazar. Now that I think of it, they may be the only one I watched in its entirety, aside from Malone and McCullough.
So, if Joe Rogan really believes in the First Amendment, why did he placate the naysayers and those calling for his ouster? Why didn't he just say, "Hey. It's my podcast. Go make your own and have whoever you want on it. I'll continue to do the same," and leave it at that? What is it about the few among the empty trucks rattling down the road that causes intelligent people, free people, people with God's provisions and Constitutional guarantees of liberty and freedom of speech, to back up and try to make them happy? I don't get it. Only if someone does not know what they believe and why and really has no convictions or principles they hold sacrosanct, will they crumble under pressures of opponents and mudslingers like the Leftist mob.
This is why, regardless of his perceived or known faults, Trump draws tens of thousands of people to his rallies to hear him belt his opponents in the jaws of fake news and Leftism. I lost confidence in anything Trump may have been as POTUS and if he runs again and wins, he'd have to go a long way to prove himself to have learned from his mistakes in judgment while in the White House. He surrounded himself with GOP minions that did everything they could to disown and dismantle him. Rather than be the Trump that said "Your fired," so easily, he played their political games with their rules and now, here he is, outside looking in.
Actually, it also goes for those in Trump's legions who swing and then ask questions.
Will Rogan end up the same way? I believe he can be guaranteed a loss of fans and viewers if he plays games with these enemies of the Republic. Rogan became an overnight hero and pariah overnight, with just two interviews. The web increases reaction times, exponentially. Play the Leftist game and watch him crash and burn.
Actually, have Fauci on. Let him tell his tall tales for a couple hours and ask the right questions and watch the man squirm or get radically defensive, and let Americans see his lack of actual data and articulation and stamina for the truth that Malone and McCullough stood for and expounded so well.
I do not believe in giving Fauci any more attention. He needs to go away. Actually, he needs to be investigated, arrested and tried for crimes against humanity in an American judicial system, not a world court. The outcome might be the same: Fauci gets the usual Leftist pass but, at least the nation will see what he is and what he has done, whether the justice department does anything about it.
Frankly, I am now very curious who Rogan would pick to interview, claiming the other side is the truth. We'll have to stay tuned. I'm sure Jen Psaki could suggest someone. I'm sure Nancy Pelosi could. Or how about Mitch McConnell or Lindsay Graham? I'm sure Rogan could or will have a building filled with suggestions from such eminent Americans as them; people devoted to truth and the Constitutional oaths they took to protect it from all enemies, foreign and domestic. I can hear the John Philipp Sousa music already.
What Rogan should actually do is step aside and have McCullough and Malone back on to debate anyone from the other side. Or have Dr. David Martin on to debate anyone. That would fry the Left to acrid smoke. How about a panel discussion? Let Rogan moderate a panel discussion. Pick five from the data-driven side of things and pick five from the "Fauci-is-the-science" side. I'll bet a billion people would watch that, maybe a lot more. Maybe the entire English speaking world would watch that.
Go for it Joe. Go down in history as the man who set the world on fire.
Ah, but, we already know no such event would take place. The Leftist medical tyrants will not debate anyone. They just try to crush dissent.
We'd sure like to be proven wrong on that perception and belief. If Rogan worked this well, he could literally set the ground ablaze and change the 21st century, 2022 world. If he tried and got no takers from the Left, the case would stare the planet in the face.
Will he?
Frankly, from what little I have seen I got the impression Rogan could not care less what anybody thinks of him or his podcast: not the guests, not the subject matter, not his decorum and use of foul language; when he seems to feel he's in the presence of those who would not be offended by it; meaning he does not care if anyone in his audience is offended by it.

Now that I think of it, they may be the only one I watched in its entirety, aside from Malone and McCullough.
So, if Joe Rogan really believes in the First Amendment, why did he placate the naysayers and those calling for his ouster? Why didn't he just say, "Hey. It's my podcast. Go make your own and have whoever you want on it. I'll continue to do the same," and leave it at that? What is it about the few among the empty trucks rattling down the road that causes intelligent people, free people, people with God's provisions and Constitutional guarantees of liberty and freedom of speech, to back up and try to make them happy? I don't get it. Only if someone does not know what they believe and why and really has no convictions or principles they hold sacrosanct, will they crumble under pressures of opponents and mudslingers like the Leftist mob.
This is why, regardless of his perceived or known faults, Trump draws tens of thousands of people to his rallies to hear him belt his opponents in the jaws of fake news and Leftism. I lost confidence in anything Trump may have been as POTUS and if he runs again and wins, he'd have to go a long way to prove himself to have learned from his mistakes in judgment while in the White House. He surrounded himself with GOP minions that did everything they could to disown and dismantle him. Rather than be the Trump that said "Your fired," so easily, he played their political games with their rules and now, here he is, outside looking in.
Actually, it also goes for those in Trump's legions who swing and then ask questions.
Will Rogan end up the same way? I believe he can be guaranteed a loss of fans and viewers if he plays games with these enemies of the Republic. Rogan became an overnight hero and pariah overnight, with just two interviews. The web increases reaction times, exponentially. Play the Leftist game and watch him crash and burn.
Actually, have Fauci on. Let him tell his tall tales for a couple hours and ask the right questions and watch the man squirm or get radically defensive, and let Americans see his lack of actual data and articulation and stamina for the truth that Malone and McCullough stood for and expounded so well.
I do not believe in giving Fauci any more attention. He needs to go away. Actually, he needs to be investigated, arrested and tried for crimes against humanity in an American judicial system, not a world court. The outcome might be the same: Fauci gets the usual Leftist pass but, at least the nation will see what he is and what he has done, whether the justice department does anything about it.
Frankly, I am now very curious who Rogan would pick to interview, claiming the other side is the truth. We'll have to stay tuned. I'm sure Jen Psaki could suggest someone. I'm sure Nancy Pelosi could. Or how about Mitch McConnell or Lindsay Graham? I'm sure Rogan could or will have a building filled with suggestions from such eminent Americans as them; people devoted to truth and the Constitutional oaths they took to protect it from all enemies, foreign and domestic. I can hear the John Philipp Sousa music already.
What Rogan should actually do is step aside and have McCullough and Malone back on to debate anyone from the other side. Or have Dr. David Martin on to debate anyone. That would fry the Left to acrid smoke. How about a panel discussion? Let Rogan moderate a panel discussion. Pick five from the data-driven side of things and pick five from the "Fauci-is-the-science" side. I'll bet a billion people would watch that, maybe a lot more. Maybe the entire English speaking world would watch that.
Go for it Joe. Go down in history as the man who set the world on fire.
Ah, but, we already know no such event would take place. The Leftist medical tyrants will not debate anyone. They just try to crush dissent.
We'd sure like to be proven wrong on that perception and belief. If Rogan worked this well, he could literally set the ground ablaze and change the 21st century, 2022 world. If he tried and got no takers from the Left, the case would stare the planet in the face.
Will he?

496. General Michael Flynn, "Spiritual" and Babylon - February 5, 2022
The essence of prophetic, spiritual Babylon is religious confusion. It is a type of man-made faith that supersedes the faith of Jesus and the full Word of God. It becomes a cultural phenomena, owning to each and any region of the globe that begins to define what Christianity is, or what salvation is, beyond the statements of Scripture; and that boils down to tens of thousands of churches and religions and doctrinal beliefs.
In the beginning there was one faith, one church; a body of believers who followed the Old Testament and the teachings of Yeshuah, the Messiah. For three and half years His disciples "believed" but, they were not yet born again. After Christ rose from the dead and returned to Heaven to begin his ministry as Priest for His people in the Heavenly Sanctuary, His disciples were blessed and baptized with the influence of the Holy Spirit in their lives and the 'church in the wilderness' became alive again. 3,000 people, overwhelmed by truth and the Spirit of God and deep conviction of need were baptized on the day of Pentecost. Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of believers began to make up the body of Christ all throughout the Roman empire. But, not without struggles created by people who were spiritual. No typo. I stated it correctly.
Please understand this well. It is seriously important.
First, we have Ananias and Sapphira, Acts 5. So bad a possible influence, God took their lives where they stood, lest the infant church be corrupted by their duplicity.
Then Judaizers plagued the early believers; those who believed the entire "law of Moses" must be kept, and even after a general church conference to address Paul, His teachings and influence upon Gentile believers he ministered to, raising up new churches wherever he went; and it being decided by James, the head of the church (not Peter), that only a few certain things should remain in place to oversee the faith of the new believers and they put it in writing:
Act 15:29 That ye abstain from meats [food] offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
Aside from God's moral law, the "royal law," the "law of liberty," the Ten Commandments, that define sin and are the standard of righteousness all will be judged by, the leaders of the early church saw these four aspects of paganism, commonly practiced, should be put away, per the law of Moses. All else was seen as something that belonged to the theocracy of Israel, now gone.
Just because a believing pagan stopped eating food offered to idols, from the consumption of blood, from eating animals strangled (not bled according to God's word), and from fornication, did not mean he was Heaven bound. "You must be born again." Jesus said it. That settles it. Doing without being born again is worthless for salvation. You might have a nice reputation among your fellow man as someone who goes about doing good things for the community but, pagans do good things for their communities. Always have. Always will. Just as people will do bad things. All cultures have standards of "good" and "bad" behavior.
A friend sent me an email with a link to an interview with General Michael Flynn, on the Roman Catholic ministry Church Militant podcast. Based on Flynn's opening comments about spiritual warfare, I felt moved to write this blog post.
https://tv.gab.com/channel/church_militant/view/the-vortex-fix-this-mess-61f81873fbed90ac2597df46
Remember, prophetic, spiritual Babylon is confused. It will ultimately function upon the foundation of putting aside differences and joining together to save the world and do so at the rejection of God's law; specifically His fourth commandment, the seventh-day Sabbath, in favor of man's first day of the week, Sunday observance, legislated, becoming the law of the land.
While that may seem impossible, it is going to happen. The Roman Catholic Church and her daughters will see to it. The Devil will see to it with signs and wonders and fake miracles and a dog and pony show to shock and awe and move the world into compliance.
In the interview, General Flynn mentioned 'spiritual warfare,' right at the beginning. He also talked about the "Whole Soldier" concept. Physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. A top notch soldier is one with all those elements in place. That's Flynn understanding, and most other professed Christians of one stripe or another. We must be "spiritual." America is in a spiritual battle. That is now everywhere to see in just about any and all Conservative news outlets.
The Bible teaches the sanctification of body, soul and spirit: the physical, emotional, intellectual natures of mankind, 1 Thes 5:23. Those elements of human nature must be made spiritual, under the influence of Heaven. How? The Bible teaches all have been given a measure of faith, Rom 12:3. But, does that make everybody spiritual? The Bible says we are carnal, ruled by a fallen human nature. We might be "religious." We might be religiously active. Millions consider themselves "spiritual," even pagans. Being in tune with the universe makes them spiritual, as they devise it. "Spiritual" means... well, as many different things as there are people who consider themselves such. Bringing Christ into the life, supernaturally, being born-again, at God's supernatural hands, makes us spiritual, biblically speaking, in the positive sense. Oh, yes. There is a negative sense. I'll get to that.
Many professed Christians look at the word "religion" in a negative way. That's unbiblical, of course, James 1:26, 27, and part of what the cultural Christianity that exists today believes. I believe it is the same thing for what they see as being "spiritual." It's cultural, not biblical.
I once spoke with a woman. She had an evangelical church background of some kind. I forget all the circumstances. She and her husband split up. Her friend asked me to speak with her because she was having a hard time. At the base of the conversation she claimed she had a "good cry," and everything was okay. I was somewhat stunned. Since that time I have heard other Southern women state (never heard a man state it), the same thing. Having a 'good cry' is somehow tantamount to being okay and ahead in spiritual warfare. Having a 'good cry' makes one spiritually attuned to Christ.
I know we are accepted according to what we have, not what we don't have, 2 Cor. 8:12. God will judge people accordingly, as He sees fit, based on the truth we each have and how we received and followed it, in His grace through faith unto good works, Eph 2:8-10. I'm still moved to strike at the heart of this deception.
General Flynn is a Catholic. He believes in God. He believes in Christ and salvation as the RCC has taught him and as his life has moved along. He's been through hard times for sure, and is certainly a patriot. Is he spiritual? Are people who 'believe' in God spiritual? The devils believe and tremble, James 2:19. Something is amiss.
If people are allowed to define "religious" as something negative, which it most definitely is not, biblically speaking; and "spiritual" as something positive, etc., they begin making their own religion, which is certainly the basis for historical Catholicism; thrice baptized to make an ampler pledge, according to an ancient church father and saint of the church; infant baptism, celibacy, purgatory, etc., etc. The history of the Roman Catholic Church, its Papacy and its Vatican is one huge mountain of man-made traditions, laws and twisted doctrines claimed to be backed up by the Bible, its second level of authority. The living church, its magisterium is the first level of faith, not the Bible. Protestantism rejects that and claims the Bible alone is the only rule of faith and practice and discipline for the believer. And so has gone the last 2000 years of church history. But, today, more and more, Mother and daughters are putting differences aside, and fewer and fewer differences exist.
Evangelicals have created a cultural Christianity for themselves. It's the religion of Jesus in Hollywood, in sports, at the beach, in fashion, in all aspects of American life. For that matter, that of any and all nations and cultures that twist and turned the faiths of their fathers for the sake of "modernism." Laodecia creates an obvious cultural, self-seduced and delusional Christianity for itself. To a certain degree we have all fallen into Laodecianism; a condition of lukewarm faith towards Christ, Rev 3:14-22; leaving our first love, Rev 2:4; being influenced by the world incessantly trying to invade our minds, 1 John 2:15-17, James 4:4, Rom 12:2. These days, it may be, the vast majority of professed Christians are anything but, biblically spiritual, having backslidden more than marched to advance to higher ground.
To the degree that Paul even refers to new born babes in the faith as carnal, and the reasons why, 1 Cor. 3:1-4, the actual experience of being spiritual is something deeper than most professed believers experience; for how many are actually born again, and not just going to church?
"Are you a Christian?" "Yes, I go to church." !?!?! That is so prevalent it's frightening. It's just the culture. It's the way people think. "I believe. I sit in defined Christian assemblies of some kind, in some edifice of some kind, therefore I am spiritual." No. You are confused. You are in spiritual, prophetic Babylon. And now, the virtual church is upon us. That's another topic.
Just look up the word 'spiritual' in any concordance and check out the texts and passages where the word is found. It is found 27 times in the KJV. Look at the second hit:
Rom 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
What? The law is spiritual? But in pulpits all throughout professed Christendom preachers will tell their flocks the law is done away, no longer applicable, no longer valid and necessary. To follow it is a fool's errand, for no one can keep the law! You may be someone who has heard that from your own minister and heard it numerous times.
Paul says the law is spiritual and he was carnal, sold under sin, doing things he did not want to do, when he knew they were wrong but, his being, his human nature was constantly fighting him. What could he and we do in this spiritual battle?
Rom 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Rom 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
And someone says, See? I believe and am saved, am spiritual, and my human nature, my flesh is fallen and that's just the way it is! Can't be helped.
Nay!
Paul did not conclude at that point, and that is the very evidence of what Babylon is and why. It does not take in the whole truth but, parts here and there and creates for itself it's own path to Heaven, to the point that many "believers" conclude all religious paths lead to the same God and all shall be saved! Not happening.
Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
"See? There it is, Ray. I am spiritual. I am free from the law of sin and death."
Indeed. Free from the law of sin and death, NOT free from the God's law that points out sin and condemns us to death, for "the wages of sin is death." That is as much a law as the law of gravity. They are two very different things and Paul emphatically points that out:
Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Rom 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
Rom 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Rom 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Rom 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Most people, even professed Christians do not understand the principle that "spiritual things are spiritually discerned," and plenty of people who read those words of Paul will not understand their plain meaning, in context, in harmony with the rest of Scripture.
Do you see why Paul wrote, the god of this world has blinded the minds of those who believe not? 2 Cor. 4:3,4. People think wrong, they do wrong, even if they believe they are right.
No one is freed from the mirror of the Ten Commandments. No one. They point out sin and the need of salvation from it. Once forgiven by God's grace, because Jesus came in the likeness of fallen humanity, and got the victory over all sin, we can have the same, if we connect with Christ and maintain that connection through faith. No excuses. Those who are spiritually minded will see the truth in that. It is not complicated.
For the Catholic, doing good is salvation; salvation by works, salvation by being in "the ark of faith," the Roman Catholic Church, being baptized as a baby, faith in Papa, the representative of Christ on Earth and his infallibility when he speaks "from the chair." For the evangelical/fundamentalist, etc., the professed Protestant, grace saves and no works matter because we cannot keep the law to the degree of not falling in our born humanity. We are saved by God's grace through faith, led to repentance and being spiritually born again. Unfortunately, many believe once saved, you cannot be lost. The convoluted nature of error is so meticulously designed by the enemy of souls, it all makes sense to people who do not think things through; who do not practice critical thinking.
"As a man thinks in his heart, so is he."
The truth is in the middle. We are saved by grace, through faith, not works, lest those who seem stronger than others could boast but, we are all sinners in need of a Saviour from the penalty of sin and the power of sin in the life, that the law of God can be kept, in the faith of Jesus working within us. That is sanctification, biblical sanctification. We are saved unto good works, that we all should walk in the spirituality of the law; man's duty to God: the first four commandments, and duty to his neighbor, his fellowman: the second six commandments.
It is the theology of Justification, Sanctification and final Glorification and eternal, immortal life but, all of it, all of it, is essential to the process of salvation, the living connection between the Creator and His lost creature. Think. Just because a lost lamb is found, does that mean it cannot get itself lost again? No.
This is no offense meant to Michael Flynn or anyone else seeing our America tossed out the window in favor of socialism, fascism, communism and other "isms" bent on destroying the Republic. Much of what he states in the interview is admirable; though oddly, out of harmony with the history of the Papacy towards the American system of governance.
Calling ourselves 'spiritual' does not make it so, anymore than calling ourselves Christian, makes it so. I go back to the statement of the preacher who said, "The day you walk into a church and become a Christian, is the day you walk into a barn and become a horse."
1Cor 14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
The church in Corinth was a train wreck. In every chapter Paul addresses problems and confusion in that big city church of antiquity. Plenty of people in that church considered themselves 'spiritual.' They were very wrong, including on the truth of spiritual gifts. That's another subject.
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Spiritual wickedness? But, you thought being spiritual could only be a positive thing. Think again.
The Greek word can go either way. It means supernatural. Pneumatikos. Pneuma, is spirit, a movement of air, unseen but, felt, realized. Angels are everywhere. Do we see them? No. They are actively engaged in warfare over our lives, our minds, influencing how we think, and therefore what we do. Spirits that minister to us and spirits out to destroy us. Being spiritual, influenced by the supernatural, is not even close to a guarantee you are Heaven bound.
You MUST BE BORN AGAIN. We must be supernaturally connected to Christ and maintain that connection by abiding in Him, lest we deceive ourselves and create our own religion, our own faith, our own path to Heaven, unknown by its inhabitants. Being born again, like any baby, is just the beginning, not the end. The baby must eat and grow or it dies. Nothing could be more simple to see in real life, compared with spiritual life. No nutrition: death. No parenting, no care, no love, left alone, a baby would die. It is the same thing for being spiritual. New life in Christ, feeding on the Word of God, growing in faith - unto the fulness of the measure of the stature of Christ, Eph. 4. The entire chapter speaks to this issue. This is the necessity. And politics has nothing to do with it. If America falls right now, the gospel will not.
Babylon is developing. Babylon is gearing up for the final battle of Christ versus Lucifer, and religion - not secularism - will be the battlefield. Secularism is bad enough, to be sure but, nothing is more deceptive or dangerous that false Christianity. The Devil is going to use it to deceive the whole world, and he shall prove victorious when the sheep are divided from the goats.
"Luke 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"
Christ rhetorically asks the question that makes a profound statement: real faith, real godly spirituality shall not be found as much as humanity might believe.
Flynn makes some interesting observations of current American and world history and events, including what can only be called a gathering of Babylon, faithful people moving into politics to gain control of the nation. I wonder if Flynn would find Thomas Jefferson a worthy component? Jefferson was not a great man of faith, rejected the miracles in the Bible, and certainly was not born again or committed to any church, and knew the history of the joining of church with state and infernal problems it caused for humanity. He was not "spiritual." Yet he was one of the greatest Americans.
Flynn mentions two paths. The first is seeking truth, no matter how hard that can be or what develops when we learn it. Seek and follow truth wherever it leads. Problem. Either the Catholic faith, which he professes throughout the interview, is correct and what I believe is wrong, or Protestantism, as a principle, and the set of fundamental beliefs I have are correct, and Catholicism is wrong. They cannot possibly both be correct. They cannot be joined together for any cause. There is a difference between being a patriot of Americanism, and a patriot in the kingdom of God.
America was not founded on anything Roman Catholic, as Catholicism was known and practiced at that time. The one Roman Catholic who signed the Declaration was a prominent businessman that some would call a nominal Catholic. Roman Catholicism was understood to be a dangerous thing, which took away the rights of people and freedom of conscience, much like the Church of England practiced, which drove people from the shores of Great Britain to America. Yet, the same erroneous and dangerous platitudes of Christian faith, denying actual freedom of conscience, was part of the early history of America.
The Founders established something the Papacy spoke out against. The Declaration and Constitution were referred to as pestilent by Rome. America must be made Catholic! was the position of the RCC. Books by both Catholics explaining the need and agenda, and Protestants warning of that movement and negligence among Americans to see it, fill shelves in antique bookstores and libraries.
As sincere as Flynn is, and accurate of his rehearsal of why things are the way they are, I can only hope he follows the truth and takes a stand for it before his days are numbered. Truly, politically speaking, Trump should have chosen him to be VP, rather than the betrayer, Pence. Just the same, if Flynn believes his Catholicism is truth, it can only become a problem for Protestants because Romanism is the epitome of a union of church and state. The Vatican is not, never has been, and never will be a friend of the American Republic. Certainly not the current Pontifex Maximus.
The second path he mentions is the complex path of pain inflicted by humanism and secularism. Therein lies the battle that Protestant and Catholic and even unbelievers who love America should mount; a platform to fight together from as Americans. It makes sense politically, patriotically. Spiritually? Only if biblical truth is cast aside for political expedience and national survival, which shall ultimately water down truth to nothing, and just open the gates for the final demise of America and the world.
I consider myself a patriot, who loves the principles of Americanism but, I do not mix politics and religion. I am an "ambassador for Christ." I represent the Kingdom of God first. I have no spiritual warfare with Leftists, regardless of what spirit they are led by. America's problems could be settled by atheists, if they just maintained adherence to the rule of law and the Constitution. Ah, but Paul stated the carnal mind is not subject to the law of God, neither can they be. So? That does not mean atheists will not follow the laws of Federal, State and Local governments. Do you see the difference and issue at hand? Man's law is not God's law, regardless of American history of Judeo/Christian ethics.
Flynn speaks against the influence of Pope Francis and weak, fearful clergy in his denomination, not addressing political, doctrinal and spiritual issues America faces, from his Catholic viewpoint. Confusion exists in the Mother of confusion. It also exists in her Daughters, apostate and confused Protestant churches. Focusing on America more than their own backsliding from historic positions their church forefathers stood for, only opens the way for more confusion.
A true Christian author stated it this way - It is a backsliding church that lessens the distance between itself and the Papacy.
Watch, as more and more, all groups put aside differences and join together to save America and do so at the expense of the law of God. The only thing standing in their way? The remnant, keeping the commandments of God and having the faith and testimony of Jesus Christ.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
In the beginning there was one faith, one church; a body of believers who followed the Old Testament and the teachings of Yeshuah, the Messiah. For three and half years His disciples "believed" but, they were not yet born again. After Christ rose from the dead and returned to Heaven to begin his ministry as Priest for His people in the Heavenly Sanctuary, His disciples were blessed and baptized with the influence of the Holy Spirit in their lives and the 'church in the wilderness' became alive again. 3,000 people, overwhelmed by truth and the Spirit of God and deep conviction of need were baptized on the day of Pentecost. Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of believers began to make up the body of Christ all throughout the Roman empire. But, not without struggles created by people who were spiritual. No typo. I stated it correctly.

https://tv.gab.com/channel/church_militant/view/the-vortex-fix-this-mess-61f81873fbed90ac2597df46
Remember, prophetic, spiritual Babylon is confused. It will ultimately function upon the foundation of putting aside differences and joining together to save the world and do so at the rejection of God's law; specifically His fourth commandment, the seventh-day Sabbath, in favor of man's first day of the week, Sunday observance, legislated, becoming the law of the land.
While that may seem impossible, it is going to happen. The Roman Catholic Church and her daughters will see to it. The Devil will see to it with signs and wonders and fake miracles and a dog and pony show to shock and awe and move the world into compliance.
In the interview, General Flynn mentioned 'spiritual warfare,' right at the beginning. He also talked about the "Whole Soldier" concept. Physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. A top notch soldier is one with all those elements in place. That's Flynn understanding, and most other professed Christians of one stripe or another. We must be "spiritual." America is in a spiritual battle. That is now everywhere to see in just about any and all Conservative news outlets.
The Bible teaches the sanctification of body, soul and spirit: the physical, emotional, intellectual natures of mankind, 1 Thes 5:23. Those elements of human nature must be made spiritual, under the influence of Heaven. How? The Bible teaches all have been given a measure of faith, Rom 12:3. But, does that make everybody spiritual? The Bible says we are carnal, ruled by a fallen human nature. We might be "religious." We might be religiously active. Millions consider themselves "spiritual," even pagans. Being in tune with the universe makes them spiritual, as they devise it. "Spiritual" means... well, as many different things as there are people who consider themselves such. Bringing Christ into the life, supernaturally, being born-again, at God's supernatural hands, makes us spiritual, biblically speaking, in the positive sense. Oh, yes. There is a negative sense. I'll get to that.
Many professed Christians look at the word "religion" in a negative way. That's unbiblical, of course, James 1:26, 27, and part of what the cultural Christianity that exists today believes. I believe it is the same thing for what they see as being "spiritual." It's cultural, not biblical.
I once spoke with a woman. She had an evangelical church background of some kind. I forget all the circumstances. She and her husband split up. Her friend asked me to speak with her because she was having a hard time. At the base of the conversation she claimed she had a "good cry," and everything was okay. I was somewhat stunned. Since that time I have heard other Southern women state (never heard a man state it), the same thing. Having a 'good cry' is somehow tantamount to being okay and ahead in spiritual warfare. Having a 'good cry' makes one spiritually attuned to Christ.
I know we are accepted according to what we have, not what we don't have, 2 Cor. 8:12. God will judge people accordingly, as He sees fit, based on the truth we each have and how we received and followed it, in His grace through faith unto good works, Eph 2:8-10. I'm still moved to strike at the heart of this deception.
General Flynn is a Catholic. He believes in God. He believes in Christ and salvation as the RCC has taught him and as his life has moved along. He's been through hard times for sure, and is certainly a patriot. Is he spiritual? Are people who 'believe' in God spiritual? The devils believe and tremble, James 2:19. Something is amiss.
If people are allowed to define "religious" as something negative, which it most definitely is not, biblically speaking; and "spiritual" as something positive, etc., they begin making their own religion, which is certainly the basis for historical Catholicism; thrice baptized to make an ampler pledge, according to an ancient church father and saint of the church; infant baptism, celibacy, purgatory, etc., etc. The history of the Roman Catholic Church, its Papacy and its Vatican is one huge mountain of man-made traditions, laws and twisted doctrines claimed to be backed up by the Bible, its second level of authority. The living church, its magisterium is the first level of faith, not the Bible. Protestantism rejects that and claims the Bible alone is the only rule of faith and practice and discipline for the believer. And so has gone the last 2000 years of church history. But, today, more and more, Mother and daughters are putting differences aside, and fewer and fewer differences exist.
Evangelicals have created a cultural Christianity for themselves. It's the religion of Jesus in Hollywood, in sports, at the beach, in fashion, in all aspects of American life. For that matter, that of any and all nations and cultures that twist and turned the faiths of their fathers for the sake of "modernism." Laodecia creates an obvious cultural, self-seduced and delusional Christianity for itself. To a certain degree we have all fallen into Laodecianism; a condition of lukewarm faith towards Christ, Rev 3:14-22; leaving our first love, Rev 2:4; being influenced by the world incessantly trying to invade our minds, 1 John 2:15-17, James 4:4, Rom 12:2. These days, it may be, the vast majority of professed Christians are anything but, biblically spiritual, having backslidden more than marched to advance to higher ground.
To the degree that Paul even refers to new born babes in the faith as carnal, and the reasons why, 1 Cor. 3:1-4, the actual experience of being spiritual is something deeper than most professed believers experience; for how many are actually born again, and not just going to church?
"Are you a Christian?" "Yes, I go to church." !?!?! That is so prevalent it's frightening. It's just the culture. It's the way people think. "I believe. I sit in defined Christian assemblies of some kind, in some edifice of some kind, therefore I am spiritual." No. You are confused. You are in spiritual, prophetic Babylon. And now, the virtual church is upon us. That's another topic.
Just look up the word 'spiritual' in any concordance and check out the texts and passages where the word is found. It is found 27 times in the KJV. Look at the second hit:
Rom 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
What? The law is spiritual? But in pulpits all throughout professed Christendom preachers will tell their flocks the law is done away, no longer applicable, no longer valid and necessary. To follow it is a fool's errand, for no one can keep the law! You may be someone who has heard that from your own minister and heard it numerous times.
Paul says the law is spiritual and he was carnal, sold under sin, doing things he did not want to do, when he knew they were wrong but, his being, his human nature was constantly fighting him. What could he and we do in this spiritual battle?
Rom 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Rom 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
And someone says, See? I believe and am saved, am spiritual, and my human nature, my flesh is fallen and that's just the way it is! Can't be helped.
Nay!
Paul did not conclude at that point, and that is the very evidence of what Babylon is and why. It does not take in the whole truth but, parts here and there and creates for itself it's own path to Heaven, to the point that many "believers" conclude all religious paths lead to the same God and all shall be saved! Not happening.
Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
"See? There it is, Ray. I am spiritual. I am free from the law of sin and death."
Indeed. Free from the law of sin and death, NOT free from the God's law that points out sin and condemns us to death, for "the wages of sin is death." That is as much a law as the law of gravity. They are two very different things and Paul emphatically points that out:
Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Rom 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
Rom 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Rom 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Rom 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Most people, even professed Christians do not understand the principle that "spiritual things are spiritually discerned," and plenty of people who read those words of Paul will not understand their plain meaning, in context, in harmony with the rest of Scripture.
Do you see why Paul wrote, the god of this world has blinded the minds of those who believe not? 2 Cor. 4:3,4. People think wrong, they do wrong, even if they believe they are right.
No one is freed from the mirror of the Ten Commandments. No one. They point out sin and the need of salvation from it. Once forgiven by God's grace, because Jesus came in the likeness of fallen humanity, and got the victory over all sin, we can have the same, if we connect with Christ and maintain that connection through faith. No excuses. Those who are spiritually minded will see the truth in that. It is not complicated.
For the Catholic, doing good is salvation; salvation by works, salvation by being in "the ark of faith," the Roman Catholic Church, being baptized as a baby, faith in Papa, the representative of Christ on Earth and his infallibility when he speaks "from the chair." For the evangelical/fundamentalist, etc., the professed Protestant, grace saves and no works matter because we cannot keep the law to the degree of not falling in our born humanity. We are saved by God's grace through faith, led to repentance and being spiritually born again. Unfortunately, many believe once saved, you cannot be lost. The convoluted nature of error is so meticulously designed by the enemy of souls, it all makes sense to people who do not think things through; who do not practice critical thinking.
"As a man thinks in his heart, so is he."
The truth is in the middle. We are saved by grace, through faith, not works, lest those who seem stronger than others could boast but, we are all sinners in need of a Saviour from the penalty of sin and the power of sin in the life, that the law of God can be kept, in the faith of Jesus working within us. That is sanctification, biblical sanctification. We are saved unto good works, that we all should walk in the spirituality of the law; man's duty to God: the first four commandments, and duty to his neighbor, his fellowman: the second six commandments.
It is the theology of Justification, Sanctification and final Glorification and eternal, immortal life but, all of it, all of it, is essential to the process of salvation, the living connection between the Creator and His lost creature. Think. Just because a lost lamb is found, does that mean it cannot get itself lost again? No.
This is no offense meant to Michael Flynn or anyone else seeing our America tossed out the window in favor of socialism, fascism, communism and other "isms" bent on destroying the Republic. Much of what he states in the interview is admirable; though oddly, out of harmony with the history of the Papacy towards the American system of governance.
Calling ourselves 'spiritual' does not make it so, anymore than calling ourselves Christian, makes it so. I go back to the statement of the preacher who said, "The day you walk into a church and become a Christian, is the day you walk into a barn and become a horse."
1Cor 14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
The church in Corinth was a train wreck. In every chapter Paul addresses problems and confusion in that big city church of antiquity. Plenty of people in that church considered themselves 'spiritual.' They were very wrong, including on the truth of spiritual gifts. That's another subject.
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Spiritual wickedness? But, you thought being spiritual could only be a positive thing. Think again.
The Greek word can go either way. It means supernatural. Pneumatikos. Pneuma, is spirit, a movement of air, unseen but, felt, realized. Angels are everywhere. Do we see them? No. They are actively engaged in warfare over our lives, our minds, influencing how we think, and therefore what we do. Spirits that minister to us and spirits out to destroy us. Being spiritual, influenced by the supernatural, is not even close to a guarantee you are Heaven bound.
You MUST BE BORN AGAIN. We must be supernaturally connected to Christ and maintain that connection by abiding in Him, lest we deceive ourselves and create our own religion, our own faith, our own path to Heaven, unknown by its inhabitants. Being born again, like any baby, is just the beginning, not the end. The baby must eat and grow or it dies. Nothing could be more simple to see in real life, compared with spiritual life. No nutrition: death. No parenting, no care, no love, left alone, a baby would die. It is the same thing for being spiritual. New life in Christ, feeding on the Word of God, growing in faith - unto the fulness of the measure of the stature of Christ, Eph. 4. The entire chapter speaks to this issue. This is the necessity. And politics has nothing to do with it. If America falls right now, the gospel will not.
Babylon is developing. Babylon is gearing up for the final battle of Christ versus Lucifer, and religion - not secularism - will be the battlefield. Secularism is bad enough, to be sure but, nothing is more deceptive or dangerous that false Christianity. The Devil is going to use it to deceive the whole world, and he shall prove victorious when the sheep are divided from the goats.
"Luke 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"
Christ rhetorically asks the question that makes a profound statement: real faith, real godly spirituality shall not be found as much as humanity might believe.
Flynn makes some interesting observations of current American and world history and events, including what can only be called a gathering of Babylon, faithful people moving into politics to gain control of the nation. I wonder if Flynn would find Thomas Jefferson a worthy component? Jefferson was not a great man of faith, rejected the miracles in the Bible, and certainly was not born again or committed to any church, and knew the history of the joining of church with state and infernal problems it caused for humanity. He was not "spiritual." Yet he was one of the greatest Americans.
Flynn mentions two paths. The first is seeking truth, no matter how hard that can be or what develops when we learn it. Seek and follow truth wherever it leads. Problem. Either the Catholic faith, which he professes throughout the interview, is correct and what I believe is wrong, or Protestantism, as a principle, and the set of fundamental beliefs I have are correct, and Catholicism is wrong. They cannot possibly both be correct. They cannot be joined together for any cause. There is a difference between being a patriot of Americanism, and a patriot in the kingdom of God.
America was not founded on anything Roman Catholic, as Catholicism was known and practiced at that time. The one Roman Catholic who signed the Declaration was a prominent businessman that some would call a nominal Catholic. Roman Catholicism was understood to be a dangerous thing, which took away the rights of people and freedom of conscience, much like the Church of England practiced, which drove people from the shores of Great Britain to America. Yet, the same erroneous and dangerous platitudes of Christian faith, denying actual freedom of conscience, was part of the early history of America.
The Founders established something the Papacy spoke out against. The Declaration and Constitution were referred to as pestilent by Rome. America must be made Catholic! was the position of the RCC. Books by both Catholics explaining the need and agenda, and Protestants warning of that movement and negligence among Americans to see it, fill shelves in antique bookstores and libraries.
As sincere as Flynn is, and accurate of his rehearsal of why things are the way they are, I can only hope he follows the truth and takes a stand for it before his days are numbered. Truly, politically speaking, Trump should have chosen him to be VP, rather than the betrayer, Pence. Just the same, if Flynn believes his Catholicism is truth, it can only become a problem for Protestants because Romanism is the epitome of a union of church and state. The Vatican is not, never has been, and never will be a friend of the American Republic. Certainly not the current Pontifex Maximus.
The second path he mentions is the complex path of pain inflicted by humanism and secularism. Therein lies the battle that Protestant and Catholic and even unbelievers who love America should mount; a platform to fight together from as Americans. It makes sense politically, patriotically. Spiritually? Only if biblical truth is cast aside for political expedience and national survival, which shall ultimately water down truth to nothing, and just open the gates for the final demise of America and the world.
I consider myself a patriot, who loves the principles of Americanism but, I do not mix politics and religion. I am an "ambassador for Christ." I represent the Kingdom of God first. I have no spiritual warfare with Leftists, regardless of what spirit they are led by. America's problems could be settled by atheists, if they just maintained adherence to the rule of law and the Constitution. Ah, but Paul stated the carnal mind is not subject to the law of God, neither can they be. So? That does not mean atheists will not follow the laws of Federal, State and Local governments. Do you see the difference and issue at hand? Man's law is not God's law, regardless of American history of Judeo/Christian ethics.
Flynn speaks against the influence of Pope Francis and weak, fearful clergy in his denomination, not addressing political, doctrinal and spiritual issues America faces, from his Catholic viewpoint. Confusion exists in the Mother of confusion. It also exists in her Daughters, apostate and confused Protestant churches. Focusing on America more than their own backsliding from historic positions their church forefathers stood for, only opens the way for more confusion.
A true Christian author stated it this way - It is a backsliding church that lessens the distance between itself and the Papacy.
Watch, as more and more, all groups put aside differences and join together to save America and do so at the expense of the law of God. The only thing standing in their way? The remnant, keeping the commandments of God and having the faith and testimony of Jesus Christ.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Astrotheology
Astrotheology - The Foundation of ALL Religions?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADF9uoEdstk
I saw that link in the side bar just now. Four minutes. Okay, I'll check it out. Only needed less than a minute to know it is wrong. Well, I knew it was wrong before I clicked it on but, for the sake of catching a glimpse of this erroneous, new age, pseudo-history lesson position: all religions most certainly do not come from astrotheology. The Bible expressly forbids using the cosmos to determine anything about God and His religion beyond how fantastic He is to create it all, with all its unbelievable constants, as a testimony to His majesty and power. Matter of fact, God denounces the practice in a rather acrimonious way:
Isa 47:13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.
"Good luck with that," Isaiah could have written for his readers.
Add to that Genesis 1:16 states God created the stars after he created the Earth, not before. Big difference in sequential events of creation week versus Big Bang cosmology, BOTH I would remind you, are stories removed from empirical, observational, testable science.
To be sure, astrotheology was a prime mover for many ancient minds. The sun, the moon, the stars were deities for ancients. The video points out some reasons. Nobody could deny that. Astrologers of Babylon are mentioned several times in the book of Daniel. Yet the Bible, the Author of the Bible stands so far above the stars, the 16th verse of Genesis 1 states, "He made the stars also." "Oh, yes, in case you were wondering, He made those too. No big deal." That could easily be seen as some dry humor from Moses, if his writings displayed such a personality anywhere else. They don't. Now, Elijah...
Genesis 1:1; "In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth." It has zip to do with the reading or understanding the stars. It has nothing to do with astrotheology. It has to do with a Creator who spoke, and everything came into being. Power so great it is completely and irrevocably beyond human comprehension. The Bible states it as history and I accept that because God recreated me from an atheist to a Christian follower of His light upon my path, and threw in fantastic prophecies and their fulfillment to keep me going when the days get hard and weary. Trust, God says, and I do. Part of that prophetic journey are statements about the Messiah, some given 1000 years before His arrival.
If the topic line for the video was Astrotheology - The Foundation of Some Religions, I'd have not bothered. That's a given. All religions, including mine? As I thought. Unfortunate ignorance of the biblical concepts and statements of the character and authority and the power of Yehovah and His Son, and the Spirit of God.
21st century. Ignorance persists when it need not but, modern man is no different than ancient man. He thinks he knows best and has it all figured out. He doesn't. Some find that out, and view the cosmos to enter the mind of God from fabulous angles of how orderly the universe is, and yet variable, with new discoveries almost every month.
The Bible repeats this premise over and over again:
1Ch 16:26 For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
Psa 8:3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
Psa 8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
Psa 19:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
Psa 33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
Psa 33:9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
Psa 89:5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
Psa 104:2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: [King David stated 3,000 years before Edwin Hubble discovered it, the universe is expanding.]
There is a distinct reason the Bible states, twice, from the pen of David - "The fool hath said in his heart there is no God." Psalms 14:1 and 53:1.
It is a shame, a deep disservice to mankind, when intelligent people refuse to see what is right in front of them, night after night. No accident, no mathematical formula filling a blackboard put everything out there and us here. The Creator put it there, and us here, and invites us to know Him, and live before Him, forever.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

The Benny Report
My wife just sent me this link. I had to share it. I laughed a couple times but, seriously, it's pretty bleak and outrageous.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvbTw1OfH_c
I'm not generally a fan of NewsMax. That said, Benny Johnson's move from D.C. to Tampa Bay is an eye-opening report. I don't know as I have seen anything so brutal in so short a presentation, as to the hellhole Washington, D.C. is, being run by godless Leftists. Prepare for a jaw drop or two.

Jordon Peterson and Dr. Julie Ponesse
As I perused some alt news sites I frequent I came upon an interview of Jordon Peterson, conducted by Dr. Julie Ponesse, a PhD in Philosophy, drummed out because she refused a mask mandate. Peterson, you probably know, is a well known author and speaker and a clinical psychologist.
Peterson is considered an "intellectual," and normally, having heard him before this plandemic started, I'm generally not interested in interviews with him. Kind of a "been there, done that." Being that Dr. Ponesse is Canadian, and seeing one of my daughters lives in Canada, which causes me to pay attention to more news from Canada, and certainly the trucker's strike, I decided to watch. I'm only into it eleven minutes but, the contrast between Dr. Ponesse's refined and gentile demeanor and a revved up Peterson I have not seen before, is pretty interesting.
I have seen headlines in the last few days that Peterson has come to the place where he now believes in God, having been a well-known agnostic for so long, if not atheist at points in life, which I can relate to. My conversion came much earlier in my own history but, no matter. Connecting with God is connecting with God, regardless of when it happens.
I don't remember hearing Peterson so wound up about current events, and now the situation in Canada. He is struggling to choose words powerful enough to capture his disdain for what is happening there. Obviously, being Canadian himself, his fervor for describing his angst against the overwhelming authoritarian attitude of the Trudeau government is palpable. It looks to be a "fast" hour. Check it out.

497. Should I Be A Fan Of Joe Rogan? - February 7, 2022
If you have come here often enough to get a handle on my positions of subject matter I write about, you may already know where this goes. Maybe not. You know I state my convictions and do not concern myself with fallout from disagreement. Honestly, I don't get much communication from readers so, I really have no idea what people think about things I write. I'm just a drop in a vast ocean. I share because I like to and I need to, and I hope people are positively influenced.
"Positively influenced." That's actually a loaded point. Define 'positively' in today's culture.
The Joe Rogan phenomena continues to build. I found out today Joe Rogan is a professional comedian. I had no idea. I have never been a real fan of Rogan since my exposure to him from cage fighting commentary, or the tv program he hosted, Fear Factory; or his podcast. It's obvious the more people try to cancel him, the bigger he gets. That is a law of humanity. Tell a child not to touch and the child must now find out why. Try to censor someone, cancel them, marginalize them, and people wonder why and endeavor to find out for themselves. Then they find out the typical detractor was not forthcoming with facts and truth about the person they vilify, and that just increases the problem of trying to stop free speech, and in Rogan's case, a bigger and bigger audience.
State your own position against Rogan if you must. Try and take away his right to state it? A bridge way too far. And Leftists, as determined and unrelenting as they are, never seem to learn.
I've written about Joe Rogan a couple times, or mentioned him for a reason or two, especially regarding his discussions with Drs. Peter McCullough and Robert Malone.
I already knew checking out YT for a Joe Rogan comedy routine would include foul language and "bathroom humor." Choosing the first hit on the list, I found out the truth of that even before he went on stage. The host or announcer, whatever: "brother from another mother," used foul language just to introduce him.
This event took place in a theater in Atlanta. Atlanta has a cultural history of being pretty genteel, refined, ennobled and such. The Atlanta, Georgia accent is a favorite of mine, and I could bring some chuckles to people from Georgia when visiting there, and this Northern boy becoming Atlantan in the flick of a verbal switch.
I could not help but wonder about this gathering of Atlantans; young and old, male and female. Has it really become that common to use such crude language in front of anyone in public? I guess so. Especially considering this event looked like it was recorded for television.
Rogan came out on stage and in a couple seconds let forth a stream of what used to be considered absolute gutter-talk in mixed society, even among guys when I was young, let alone in public society. I watched around two or three minutes and that was it for me. I know this all began ages ago. There has never been a time when performers or comedians have not sought to stretch every boundary of public decency and how far they could go. When I was young, any comedians I listened to did not go there but, in my parents day, Lenny Bruce stretched the first amendment as far as he could take it, at the allowance of his audience. In my day George Carlin began to take things as far as he could go in social commentary, and then, of course, Richard Pryor broke loose.
Call it the way I was raised, the culture I was raised in but, I never saw the need for crude language. I was always taught swearing to make a point was a sign of inadequate knowledge of the English language. That is not to say I did not swear. I swore like any other teenager and young person in my day when not around adults, and not around girls. Old fashioned? Nowadays, girls speak more crudely then guys do. Go figure. Hey feminism, right? If guys can speak like morons, so can we and so should we. We are equal, after all.
I also came upon this YT video in a commentary about how things have changed: the fall of society.
http://themostimportantnews.com/archives/america-in-the-1940s-vs-america-in-2022
The differences are so alarming it may as well be aliens on another world.
Our culture is in rapid collapse now. If it has become acceptable in public society for comedians like Joe Rogan to express themselves in the most profoundly crude ways, society, American, Western society is now pointless. We look at radical, militant Islamists, Muslim terrorists as the epitome of evil but, they are not far off to call America, The Great Satan. And within the great Satan there are people in positions of power calling mothers, and fathers, and truckers, and average citizens who believe in freedom and liberty, terrorists. The darkness is so thick it sticks to walls.
For all his bravado, Rogan softened like a wet puppy before the "woke" mob and their protests against his podcasts with McCullough and Malone. That said a lot.
I thought to myself, as I watched that two minutes, the guy is 50ish, right? Married, children, maybe grandchildren, and this is acceptable, this is an admissible portrayal of a man in his family position to take in public?
My concern is far more for American culture as a whole, than Joe Rogan's crude behavior and commentary on American society.
Everybody gets "old fashioned" at some point, in all civilizations, especially as they near collapse, as all previous civilizations and empires have. All of them. The young come to see the old, not as wise and to be listened to but, out of fashion, and in the way of progress and freedom of expression.
The apostle Paul wrote this 2000 years ago. It could have been written yesterday. I have mentioned it before and I will mention it again, in the times ahead -
2Tim 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2Tim 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2Tim 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
2Tim 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Tim 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Does Paul offer a step by step program to bring things back to some kind of standard, generations previous to the last days had? No. Why? Because it is not possible. Yes, supernatural intervention into the hearts and minds of mankind can change things, radically but, there comes a time when the scales tip too far and there is no turning back. The influence of cooler heads and proficient advise is thoroughly rejected, the Spirit of the Lord is pushed away, and human nature takes it course: societies, civilizations crash down. That is coming for the entire world now.
Even if "revival" takes place; a revival of that which used to be, it is destined for corruption because the majority is never, EVER on the side of "the fulness of the measure of the stature of Christ." They'll take some, take variations of righteousness, as are convenient to each. Touch darling sins and idols and humans are invaluable at finding ways to cut corners on anything and everything godly. All of us are in that barrel, so the only thing that can naturally come is a second end of the world. That's it. Noah's flood came then. The then. The tempestuous fire of the Lord is coming next. It can be delayed, slowed down, circumvented to small degrees by variables of backsliding, rebellion and apostasy from truth on the professed side of God or by the general population coming to its senses before disaster strikes but, nothing can stop the events the shall lead up to the second coming of Jesus Christ and the end of the world as we know it. Nothing.
I am not a fan of Joe Rogan nor shall I become one if I remain in my right mind. However he is searching, if he is, I hope he finds Christ, as Saviour and Lord. I really hope God can lead him through his current world exposure of praise and disdain. I know if he meets Christ and accepts him into his life, he will rue the day, rue the moments of every foul word, course joke, immoral thought and action that have ever developed in his mind and passed his lips or proceeded from his hands.
I do not understand how so many professed Christians can call it like it is, as far as the fall of American Judeo-Christian culture and society, and all of Western civilization, and not see that things are this way because the return of the Lord draweth nigh and with it, the end of the world. Humanity is stiffening its resolve against the influence of the Holy Spirit. Weakness is everywhere. I read reports, studies of how so many professed Christians, flocks and clergy, are captured and afflicted by pornography. If studies show that Christians have the better sex lives, how can that be? How can pornography be so pervasive in Christian lives? Because people are lonely, tired, unfulfilled, unhappy, falling into drain swirls of life without the presence of Christ, and drowning. They don't want to. They want righteousness. They want to be like Jesus. They are just so tired of life being controlled by evil everywhere and they just cannot hang on any longer. That is the history of God's people down through time.
Well, for many, false doctrine colors their thinking. That's another subject but, in many ways evil is so prominent, so pervasive, calling sin by its right name is a prospect that will rain down acid and ash of volcanic immorality on top of your head so, preachers side-step, they hold back, they round corners, they become afraid of retribution and the standard, reliable rebuke of the unrighteous. Was Jesus, were the prophets not direct enough in what happens if you call sin by its right name? Do modern preachers expect that to change for them? They slew the prophets, they killed John the Baptist, they killed Christ, they killed his disciples, they killed believers in every age and they are killing believers right now, as I type, somewhere in this wicked world. Nothing changes. The Devil is the Devil in all ages. He deceives or he uses force. That is all he needs to get his job done within fallen humanity. That will never change.
Darkness covers the Earth, and gross darkness the people.
The only thing that shall irrevocably change are the circumstances that raise up a remnant that shall take the final stand against evil in this world; against the breaking of God's law, against God's standards, God's morality, and God's truth and love.
Call me old fashioned. So, what? I am, compared to the standards and morals of today,; and my standards and morals of my youth were foul to my parents day, and theirs to their parents, and so it goes back to the beginning of each nation, culture, society or civilization that becomes so uncivilized it collapses and things start all over again. This time, world-wide evil, world-wide corruption, world-wide darkness is descending. The world-wide penny is running more quickly down the world-wide funnel with each passing day. Things will get so confused in the pace of that penny, the world will cry-out "peace and safety" when sudden destruction is about to drop on them like an asteroid the size of Rhode Island.
My life is no example of preparedness. It should be. I know better. Bringing mind to action in the current flow of Western culture... honestly, if I totally lose my way I want Jesus to return soon and end this nightmare called the modern world, with its twisted values, morality, arrogance and haughtiness.
It's time to close up shop and call it a day. Warn your neighbor, your co-workers, your families. Don't expect anything but, condemnation. Warn them, as Christ bid us, and leave the results with God.
The end of all things is at hand; sometime, some day, closing in.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

498. This Is Unbelievable! - February 9, 2022
This is why I hate politics, because I cannot stand politicians.
1. I listened to Vernon Jones speak at a videotaped patriot rally. Democrat turning Republican. Seemed legitimate. I even wrote a blog about him, #361.
2. Then Stew Peters had him on, twice. The second time, Peters asked him about some scandals Jones was involved in, and exposed him for being a racist and sexual predator. I immediately wrote a blog reversing any positive thinking about Jones, #378.
3. Two days ago, Jones announced he is dropping out of the Georgia Governor's race and running for Congress, to serve Georgia better. !?!?
4. Today, I see that Trump is endorsing Jones!
5. Then I see General Mike Flynn is endorsing Jones!!
Did these people drop into Alice's hole somewhere and slide into Wonderland? Is it possible they are ignorant of Stew Peters' investigation and reporting about Jones? This is worse than a Biden, Psaki, Pelosi three-ring circus.
You cannot make this stuff up. HOW can both those men not have any people around them telling them what they should already know about the exposing of Vernon Jones? I see no retraction and apology from Peters. Quite the opposite.
In just 30 minutes a day those men could peruse any number of alt news sites and get enough information as to what is happening out there. This is sickening. That Jones would withdraw from the Georgia race for governor and just hop on over to the Congressional race is outrageous, in and of itself.
That Trump would endorse him, still not being careful and still making blind, ignorant decisions shows he has not learned a thing. Or, it is just a big club and these people are all part of it?
After just commenting on General Flynn and his position America is in spiritual warfare, now endorsing Jones??? My jaw drops open at the complete uniformed nature of what these people wade through life with.
Trust a politician? Are you serious? Ask me to trust a Mama Grizzly will do nothing as I walk three feet past her cubs.
Have mercy, what an absolute mess the American political landscape is. It's a dead zone, a scorched earth of intelligence.
God help us.

499. John Harvey Kellogg - February 10, 2022
I'd have to look for it but, I believe I have written about Kellogg before. John Harvey Kellogg was a doctor in the 19th and early 20th centuries. He was a fine doctor. He pioneered surgical techniques still used today. He understood the human anatomy better than most in his field and got into health and nutrition and proved countless points and remedies for establishing and maintaining good health. He founded Battle Creek Sanitarium, in Michigan, a fantastic hospital where people, including well-known dignitaries and the famous went for healing and health matters. JHK had become a Seventh-day Adventist in the mid-late 19th century, which is where my knowledge of him comes from. I became an SDA in 1979 and was a member of that denomination for 12 years. I've written about that, too.
Hollywood even made a movie about JHK and Battle Creek Sanitarium - "The Road to Wellville." It was, as most things Hollywood, over the top and untrue in many of its portrayals.
Most people have no idea that corn flakes were discovered, by accident, in the kitchen of the hospital. Kellogg was experimenting with grain batters. JHK's brother, Will, is the one who marketed the new breakfast cereal and founded the Kellogg company. The Kellogg brothers had a falling out. C.W. Post took advantage of the situation and began selling his Post Toasties, and founded that company. The breakfast cereal wars began.
JHK was, what many would call, a genius. He was a man of faith and tremendous blessing from the Lord. He married a Seventh-day Baptist, who had some different theological ideas, notably, Pantheism. JHK became so enamored with the concept it twisted his faith, and an out and out church war began in Battle Creek. An apostasy of a good 3,000 people from the SDA church took place there. Ultimately, the hospital burned down. The church burned down, and the fallout of those turbulent years set up what is known in SDA history as the "Alpha of apostasy." The "Omega" of apostasy was predicted and would develop and do its unfortunate work within the denomination, which holds true today. It's the reason the denomination went to war with me and many others before and since, for exposing that situation, and past and present history. I ultimately left that denomination in 1991.
Why is it so many institutions that began as Christian institutions, devoted to the search for truth and sharing it with the world, turn back to the world and its junk yard of failed and foolish philosophies? Most Ivy league schools were Christian missionary institutions, training people to take the gospel to the world. They have all become completely secular in nature. The second Battle Creek Sanitarium also failed, and was ultimately purchased by the US military, iirc. The devastation of the apostasy upon the SDA denomination caused the headquarters to be moved to Maryland. It didn't really help.
Now, the once 'American as apple pie' Kellogg company, gone totally Leftist and "woke" over the years, finds itself in another story of its defection from principles of Americanism, in funding illegal immigrants to live in America, and why not make its junk food for American breakfast tables. Oh, yes, the company does its advertising for "whole grain" and all. If anything doesn't sell well, it fades from shelves. Rather than educate people to the benefits of health, and thereby increase sales as people become more concerned with optimum health, as JHK used to promote and practice, money is the bottom line; perverted taste buds, wrecked by sugar dumped into children till they are bouncing off the walls at schools across America every morning. That is the target goal. Obesity in children, diabetes in children, have become epidemic. Ah, well. What can they say? They just make cereal and stuff. That "stuff" includes things made and sold all over the world.
The reason I rehearse this is a story someone sent me about the current Kellogg company; well, the foundation that controls the company.
Breitbart has a story on the ever developing apostasy from Americanism the Kellogg company is into, and it's incredible this company, once considered everything American, is now anything but slogans and advertising a shadow.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/02/08/kellogg-foundation-bankrolls-500-monthly-income-for-illegal-aliens/
"The left-wing W.K. Kellogg Foundation, which effectively controls the Kellogg Company, is bankrolling a pilot program that will provide hundreds of illegal aliens living in the United States with a guaranteed basic income.
"A coalition of activist organizations has teamed up to institute the pilot program across 13 counties in New Mexico where 330 illegal alien households will receive monthly payments of $500 for the next year.
"The W.K. Kellogg Foundation is bankrolling the program, local media reports:
"The New Mexico Economic Relief Working Group has partnered with UpTogether, a national nonprofit, to provide the monthly payments to qualifying families beginning in March. The coalition says the NM Immigrant GBI Project will be the first statewide [guaranteed basic income] effort. [Emphasis added]
"ERWG said 330 families from 13 New Mexico counties, including Doña Ana County, will receive monthly payments of $500 for 12 months beginning in March. The payments will be delivered through direct deposit or prepaid cards, and there are no conditions on what the money can be used for. Funding is coming from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and UpTogether, a news release states. [Emphasis added]
"Kellogg’s, effectively controlled by the left-wing W.K. Kellogg Foundation, has been financially involved in leftist advocacy efforts for years — including John Podesta‘s Center for American Progress, Black Lives Matter, racially divisive open borders organizations, billionaire George Soros’s Open Society Foundation, the far-left Tides Foundation, and GLAAD, among others.
"In 2016, Kellogg’s blacklisted Breitbart News, stating that its new coverage and millions-strong readership are not “aligned with our values as a company.”
"In response, Breitbart News launched a nationwide #DumpKelloggs petition — urging readers to boycott Kellogg’s. Within two days, the #DumpKelloggs petition garnered a quarter of a million signatures from Americans vowing not to buy Kellogg’s products." "
I'm not a fan or regular reader of Breitbart News. I used to be but, they just print so much nonsensical stuff that Leftists do. When news organizations give constant exposure to Leftist lunacy that has little to do with anything affecting my life, I go elsewhere for news.
I rarely purchase Kellogg products. I won't purchase any at all in the future. Of course, in reality almost all of United States manufactured goods are now Leftist or controlled by Leftist money and investment, and so many companies now outsource everything to Leftist nations, it's a barrel of muck.
America has lost its way. I have no confidence it will ever find its way back to its foundations. Regardless of the millions who want it to, regardless of truckers, and doctors and nurses, and parents who have had it all standing up, the apostasy from right principles is now too deep. Anything that develops will be a radical departure from founding principles; a pendulum swinging farther Left or far, in your face Right. Neither are the principles America was founded upon. Both are policies that bring trouble to true principles of freedom and liberty, especially freedom and liberty of conscience.
Watch it happen.
Hollywood even made a movie about JHK and Battle Creek Sanitarium - "The Road to Wellville." It was, as most things Hollywood, over the top and untrue in many of its portrayals.
Most people have no idea that corn flakes were discovered, by accident, in the kitchen of the hospital. Kellogg was experimenting with grain batters. JHK's brother, Will, is the one who marketed the new breakfast cereal and founded the Kellogg company. The Kellogg brothers had a falling out. C.W. Post took advantage of the situation and began selling his Post Toasties, and founded that company. The breakfast cereal wars began.
JHK was, what many would call, a genius. He was a man of faith and tremendous blessing from the Lord. He married a Seventh-day Baptist, who had some different theological ideas, notably, Pantheism. JHK became so enamored with the concept it twisted his faith, and an out and out church war began in Battle Creek. An apostasy of a good 3,000 people from the SDA church took place there. Ultimately, the hospital burned down. The church burned down, and the fallout of those turbulent years set up what is known in SDA history as the "Alpha of apostasy." The "Omega" of apostasy was predicted and would develop and do its unfortunate work within the denomination, which holds true today. It's the reason the denomination went to war with me and many others before and since, for exposing that situation, and past and present history. I ultimately left that denomination in 1991.
Why is it so many institutions that began as Christian institutions, devoted to the search for truth and sharing it with the world, turn back to the world and its junk yard of failed and foolish philosophies? Most Ivy league schools were Christian missionary institutions, training people to take the gospel to the world. They have all become completely secular in nature. The second Battle Creek Sanitarium also failed, and was ultimately purchased by the US military, iirc. The devastation of the apostasy upon the SDA denomination caused the headquarters to be moved to Maryland. It didn't really help.
Now, the once 'American as apple pie' Kellogg company, gone totally Leftist and "woke" over the years, finds itself in another story of its defection from principles of Americanism, in funding illegal immigrants to live in America, and why not make its junk food for American breakfast tables. Oh, yes, the company does its advertising for "whole grain" and all. If anything doesn't sell well, it fades from shelves. Rather than educate people to the benefits of health, and thereby increase sales as people become more concerned with optimum health, as JHK used to promote and practice, money is the bottom line; perverted taste buds, wrecked by sugar dumped into children till they are bouncing off the walls at schools across America every morning. That is the target goal. Obesity in children, diabetes in children, have become epidemic. Ah, well. What can they say? They just make cereal and stuff. That "stuff" includes things made and sold all over the world.
The reason I rehearse this is a story someone sent me about the current Kellogg company; well, the foundation that controls the company.
Breitbart has a story on the ever developing apostasy from Americanism the Kellogg company is into, and it's incredible this company, once considered everything American, is now anything but slogans and advertising a shadow.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/02/08/kellogg-foundation-bankrolls-500-monthly-income-for-illegal-aliens/
"The left-wing W.K. Kellogg Foundation, which effectively controls the Kellogg Company, is bankrolling a pilot program that will provide hundreds of illegal aliens living in the United States with a guaranteed basic income.
"A coalition of activist organizations has teamed up to institute the pilot program across 13 counties in New Mexico where 330 illegal alien households will receive monthly payments of $500 for the next year.
"The W.K. Kellogg Foundation is bankrolling the program, local media reports:
"The New Mexico Economic Relief Working Group has partnered with UpTogether, a national nonprofit, to provide the monthly payments to qualifying families beginning in March. The coalition says the NM Immigrant GBI Project will be the first statewide [guaranteed basic income] effort. [Emphasis added]
"ERWG said 330 families from 13 New Mexico counties, including Doña Ana County, will receive monthly payments of $500 for 12 months beginning in March. The payments will be delivered through direct deposit or prepaid cards, and there are no conditions on what the money can be used for. Funding is coming from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and UpTogether, a news release states. [Emphasis added]
"Kellogg’s, effectively controlled by the left-wing W.K. Kellogg Foundation, has been financially involved in leftist advocacy efforts for years — including John Podesta‘s Center for American Progress, Black Lives Matter, racially divisive open borders organizations, billionaire George Soros’s Open Society Foundation, the far-left Tides Foundation, and GLAAD, among others.
"In 2016, Kellogg’s blacklisted Breitbart News, stating that its new coverage and millions-strong readership are not “aligned with our values as a company.”
"In response, Breitbart News launched a nationwide #DumpKelloggs petition — urging readers to boycott Kellogg’s. Within two days, the #DumpKelloggs petition garnered a quarter of a million signatures from Americans vowing not to buy Kellogg’s products." "
I'm not a fan or regular reader of Breitbart News. I used to be but, they just print so much nonsensical stuff that Leftists do. When news organizations give constant exposure to Leftist lunacy that has little to do with anything affecting my life, I go elsewhere for news.
I rarely purchase Kellogg products. I won't purchase any at all in the future. Of course, in reality almost all of United States manufactured goods are now Leftist or controlled by Leftist money and investment, and so many companies now outsource everything to Leftist nations, it's a barrel of muck.
America has lost its way. I have no confidence it will ever find its way back to its foundations. Regardless of the millions who want it to, regardless of truckers, and doctors and nurses, and parents who have had it all standing up, the apostasy from right principles is now too deep. Anything that develops will be a radical departure from founding principles; a pendulum swinging farther Left or far, in your face Right. Neither are the principles America was founded upon. Both are policies that bring trouble to true principles of freedom and liberty, especially freedom and liberty of conscience.
Watch it happen.
