The New Testament Ministry

2 Corinthians.

Chapter 1 -- The New Testament ministry is an answer to the Lord’s prayer: “thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”.

Chapter 2 -- Obedience to the Lord will always result in victory.

Chapter 3 -- The goal of this ministry is that we would all be the Lord’s letter of commendation with the word of God engraved on our hearts. We behold are reflect the Lord as a mirror image, and our rapture is us going from glory to glory in a mirror image of the Lord's resurrection.

Chapter 4 -- We are transformed into a weapon of warfare as a result of our renouncing evil.

Chapter 5 -- The ministry in a single word: reconciliation. We have the ministry that reconciles man to God, God to man, and man to man.

Chapter 6 -- This ministry is likened to the festival of dedication known as Hanukkah. “Come out from them and be separate”. Hanukkah is a celebration of light and there are eight days to this celebration. The last eight chapters of 2Corinthians give us this light.

8 days of light

Chapter 6 -- we see the fair exchange. You exchange your life of service for an eternal salvation.

Chapter 7 -- we must heed our spirit and not walk by sight.

Chapter 8 -- we see the privilege of participating in God’s move. Satan would threaten us, but all he can do is to cast us out. If we have already come out and become separate there is nothing he can do to you. The rapture is our being separated just like the waters above being separated from the waters below.

Chapter 9 -- The historical viewpoint, the bird’s eye view of what is going on and realize “we don’t want to be on the wrong side of history”. If this were Nazi Germany you would want to be standing against the Nazi's. If this were at the time of Acts you would want to be standing with the Lord's apostles.

Chapter 10 -- We see the enemy “weaponize free speech”. The enemy will insult and slander because he has no case. We cannot be ignorant of Satan’s devices if we are going to stand up for the Lord and bring in the Kingdom. We are seeing testimonies concerning Satanic cults like the FreeMasons, these educate us so that we are not ignorant of Satan's devices.

Chapter 11 -- Once you see through that device you can then see the counterfeit apostles, the pseudo apostles, and learn how to discern.

Chapter 12 -- we see the Lord’s second coming and we see that there are three categories of saints. There are those who were able to receive the light in the previous chapters, they are raptured first to the third heavens. Then there are those who were stumbled by the counterfeit apostles and the weaponized speech. They will need to take a repeater class for a few years.

Chapter 13 -- Finally the Lord comes a third time where we will all appear before the judgement for the things we have done.

49x more earthquakes per day than in the 1930s

During the 1930s, over 10 years (120 months) there were a total of 2,680 earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 to 4.0.

That is a rate of 0.73 earthquakes per day (magnitude 2.5 to 4.0)

In the last 3 months of 2021 from July 21st we have had 3,203 earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 to 4.0 worldwide.


That is a rate of 35.59 earthquakes per day (magnitude 2.5 to 4.0)

That is 49x's more earthquakes per day.

Isaiah 47 -- The multitude of thy sorceries

I am interested in looking at this word as it applies to us today. Babylon refers to an evil, Satanic system that worshipped Baal and Ashteroth. It is a worldwide system that is both religious (a one world religion) and commercial (one world economy with multinational corporations). Although they are trying to be united and work as one it is a Satanic system. Post #2363 demonstrates how Hollywood is part of this Satanic system. I have given many other posts throughout this blog which show that FreeMasons trace their religion back to Babylon. Trump tower is built as a temple to Baal, I put that in #2351. We have seen Babylonian ritualistic worship ceremonies at the Superbowl and Olympics demonstrating how this is a one world religion.

47 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.

The Chaldeans were the most fearsome of all warriors. The "virgin" daughter of Babylon would refer to the US. We are a "daughter" of the UK, as a "christian" nation we would be considered a virgin, and at one time our parents were the most fearsome warriors on this planet, so this generation is "the daughter of the Chaldeans". Not only so but with all of this "woke" culture and people being so incredibly sensitive and easy to offend we are not the "son" but rather the "tender and delicate" daughter. But, no more.

2 Take the millstones, and grind meal; remove thy veil, strip off the train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers. 3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and will spare no man.

Babylon is the one responsible for destroying Israel. WWII was not solely the responsibility of Hitler and the Germans. On the contrary the elites around the world became alarmed at the Russian revolution. They were scared of communism and so they funded the "German miracle" with money from the Rothschilds, Ford, and elites from around the world. The goal was to put a wall between them and communism. This is why Hitler turned from the Battle of Britain to attack Russia. Rather than being the biggest blunder it was the puppeteer pulling the puppet strings. Well, WWII officially ended on October 24th, 1951 when a peace treaty was signed. The 70th anniversary of that date is three days from now. We are told in Jeremiah that after 70 years the Lord will visit Babylon for what they did to Israel. God intended to teach Israel a lesson, to turn them back to Him, but they went too far with the Holocaust and the gas chambers, so the Lord will take vengeance on them and will spare no man.

4 Our Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel. 5 Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for thou shalt no more be called The mistress of kingdoms. 6 I was wroth with my people, I profaned mine inheritance, and gave them into thy hand: thou didst show them no mercy; upon the aged hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke. 7 And thou saidst, I shall be mistress for ever; so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end thereof.

Who is this that is saying she will be "the mistress of kingdoms"? Ford and the Rothschilds represent bankers and industrialists. Multinational corporations. Hollywood with their movies going worldwide. The NBA and other sports franchises trying to appeal to a global market. Many of those corporations began in the US and are considered US companies by many, but the reality is that the US is only 5% of the world's population and so is not their major market. So although we may think of Coca Cola or Disney as a US corporation, their leaders don't. They are globalists.


8 Now therefore hear this, thou that art given to pleasures, that sittest securely, that sayest in thy heart, I am, and there is none else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children: 9 but these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood; in their full measure shall they come upon thee, in the multitude of thy sorceries, and the great abundance of thine enchantments.


Hollywood could say "there is none else besides me" even though there is Bollywood and there are movies made in Hong Kong as well. The point is not that this is a true statement but an arrogant one. Pride goes before a fall and the prophecy is of a very big fall. But I want to focus on the "multitude of thy sorceries". It refers to both sorceries and witchcraft, spells and potions. For example, the cigarette industry realized that making people addicted to nicotine was the most profitable business strategy and so they hired chemists to make their cigarettes as addictive as possible and viewed them as means to get your "nicotine fix". However since they were a drug they should have been treated as a drug which would have destroyed their business model so they brought in some of the best lawyers to craft a strategy of plausible deniability. The addictive drug was sorcery and the lawyers strategy to get around the law was witchcraft. The NFL did the same thing with CTE. The Catholic church did the same thing with pedophile priests. Many years ago products were made to last, you could buy a phone that would last you a lifetime, today we have "planned obsolescence" where these items will break and will not be worth fixing. All of these are "enchantments". They hired some wizard to come in and cast a spell and all of sudden the company was twice as profitable even though the products were poorer quality.

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 thy heart, I am, and there is none else besides me.

Yes, this worked as long as no one saw them and that is why they had people sign Non Disclosure agreements (NDAs). But eventually we had whistleblowers come out.

11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know the dawning thereof: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it away: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou knowest not.

So because they were extremely deceitful and tried to hide their wickedness their judgement will be the same. As they have done it will be done unto them.


12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast labored from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail. 13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels: let now the astrologers, the star-gazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from the things that shall come upon thee.

It seems these are the same people -- the prognosticators, the talking heads on TV. In other words they control the media, they use the media to manipulate public opinion, this is their plan on how to save themselves. We saw this during the litigation with the tobacco companies as they threatened massive litigation against CBS. We can see today that the main stream media is fully controlled and is simply the mouthpiece of the elites.

14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: it shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before. 15 Thus shall the things be unto thee wherein thou hast labored: they that have trafficked with thee from thy youth shall wander every one to his quarter; there shall be none to save thee.

We are seeing this play out now. CNN has seen an 80% drop in their ratings. They are going to become as stubble. Rachel Maddow was the most significant pundit on MSNBC, she sees the writing on the wall and has run for cover. Facebook, Twitter, and Google have all been exposed for trafficking with the wicked and so people are moving to other platforms. They will all be stubble, unable to save Babylon.

Isaiah 47 -- The multitude of thy sorceries
With this as a background ask yourself about the NIH, WHO, and the Pharmaceutical industry. Do you think they have a multitude of sorceries and witchcraft? We know they have lied, and lied, and lied. We know that the pandemic was not nearly as serious as they pretended, that if it were not for the way they treated the sick it would have been even less serious, and we know that it was man made. The virus was man made, the inflated positive tests were man made, the high death rate was man made. People who died "with Covid" were listed as having died of Covid. The ventilators were the same as a death sentence. Preventing the use of HCQ killed tens of thousands. We also know the purpose of the man made pandemic was to get people to take the vaccine. They knew people were not taking the flu vaccine even though deaths from the flu were also greatly exaggerated. This is a common strategy of the Satanists, you want people to do something so you you create a crisis that will get them to cry out for a solution and then the solution you give them is what you wanted to coerce them to do in the first place. That is the context of the vaccine.

It is a bait and switch. They are not allowed to mandate an experimental vaccine so the FDA has fully approved a vaccine which they have mandated. However, they don't give you the approved vaccine because you can sue them if you get sick, so instead they give you the experimental one for which the companies are fully protected from liability. However, if you don't get the mandated vaccine you will be fired and yet when you go to comply they give you the experimental vaccine. This is a deceitful lie. How could you possibly trust these people?

We know that those who have made this vaccine have used genetic engineering, other than that we have no idea what is in the vaccine or how it works. It doesn't give you immunity to Covid, it doesn't prevent you from spreading Covid, people who have been vaccinated can shed the disease (spread it) and it doesn't protect you from dying from Covid. Why do they call it a vaccine? This is simply another lie.

To make things worse, the vaccine has very significant adverse effects. Far more significant than other "vaccines" which were never approved because they were too dangerous. Yet they want to mandate this for every single person. It is not only a lie but it is negligent homicide with a sinister intent.

So why is it that you cannot buy or sell unless you are "vaccinated"?

Isaiah 47 -- The multitude of thy sorceries
So then if this is the case why didn't God warn us? We were told very clearly from day 1 to not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The mainstream media and Hollywood are the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you thought Trump was the "good guy" well he was the one responsible for bringing forth the vaccine, if you thought Biden was the good guy he was the one who mandated the vaccine. You were deceived into trusting one of them. The Lord is the only good shepherd, if you are His sheep then you know His voice. We were told to eat from the Tree of Life.

The entire world was given a Sabbath rest when the pandemic hit. Had you focused on eating God's word you would have realized that the day of the Lord is at hand. You would have known about the signs of the Lord's coming, you would have known about Satans strategy and you would not have been deceived by the whole "good guys and evil guys". You would have known that the main stream media was lying to you.

So then was Eve deceived? Yes. Did she take the fruit and give it to Adam as well? Yes. This was because she ignored God's word and instead thought that the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was a tree to make one wise and she bought into the whole deception hook, line and sinker.

Does this mean they are condemned? No. It means they will be embarrassed, ashamed, and exposed. It means they will need to repent and turn to God, focus on the Lord, focus on the crucified and resurrected Christ.

The Legal case against Satan -- he has tried to steal souls from God by fraud. According to the word of God he needs to pay back those souls seven fold. This is God's mercy, all those who have been deceived will have to be returned to God as well as many more who were deceived throughout the age of Grace. However, during the Tribulation there will be no deceit, people will know plainly and clearly that taking the mark of the beast will been damnation.

Daniel 2:43 And whereas thou sawest iron mingled with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave to one another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

Proverbs 8:6-9 How do you know who to listen to?

There are a whole lot of people screaming and trying to be heard, no one has time to listen to all them so how do you decide?

6 Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say;


The first reason we should listen to someone is because they have trustworthy things to say. The Washington Post, NY Times, Twitter, Facebook and Youtube have all had to retract their claim that the Pandemic came from nature and was not created in a lab. They are not trustworthy, don't listen to them.

I open my lips to speak what is right.


When people are vilified who “speak what is right” you now know that not only was it right but the truth they spoke was “over the target”. In contrast many of these "mainstream media" like CNN and MSNBC fill their shows with trivial garbage that is not news and when so many momentous things are happening it isn't right to be wasting people's time with it.

7 My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness.


You cannot possibly discern wisdom if you are clueless about wickedness. Why would WAPO, NY Times, Twitter, and Facebook all knowingly speak words that are not true? There is some form of wickedness at play here. They have sold themselves to do wickedness. Think of how they pushed the Russia collusion hoax for two years, dropped it as soon as we learned that the real culprits were Clinton and Obama, and then banned the story about Hunter Biden's laptop which was proof of Biden's collusion.

8 All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse.


All of them, not some of them. NY Times is called “the paper of record”. Not for me, not anymore. My dad used to be a vice president there, I don’t say this lightly. When you find a news source that is operating in a crooked or perverse way, you have to cross them off the list otherwise you will suffer loss.

9 To the discerning all of them are right; they are upright to those who have found knowledge.


“To the discerning”. Yes, it does take a certain amount of work. I get it, we are all doing our jobs, don’t have a lot of time to spend getting the news, so who has time to do this “discerning”? I was commuting back and forth to work and listened to the news. I wanted to know the outcome of the Mueller investigation, what did he find out, how come it seemed so certain they would find something to convict with and yet they didn’t? However, every time I turned on CNN it was always the same thing “orange man bad”. There was no knowledge. I could listen for 30 minutes a day for a month and learn absolutely nothing. So I stopped wasting my time with them.

This will become exponentially worse after the rapture. You will be forbidden to say that it was the rapture, or that Jesus is Lord, or preach the gospel under pain of death. As far as they are concerned it will kill two birds with one stone. There are many who are in power who think the ideal population for the Earth is 500 million. To kill 7 billion is no big deal to them. Hence the Pandemic, the wars, and yes chopping off heads of Christians. Nero is a type of the Antichrist and Hitler was a type of the Antichrist and so was Stalin and Mao. They all had one thing in common, they had no qualms about killing millions of people, especially Jews and Christians.

Acts 1:1-10 -- I make known the End from the Beginning

There is a verse in which God says He makes known the end from the beginning. There is another verse that says that which was is that which shall be. So, we can look at the first ascension to see what the second ascension will be like and what the third, etc. Think about it, the Lord said we must take up our cross and follow Him. Suppose there is a believer and this one balked at taking the cross, they "backslid". But then they see the rapture, the saints are taken, and this one repents. What do they need to do? They need to take up their cross and follow the Lord. It doesn't matter if you are Peter, or Paul or James or saints living today or saints during the rapture, everyone of us has to take up our cross and follow Him. Seeing the Lord ascend to heaven was a major motivation to them and you see them spend days in prayer and then they are on fire. I suspect we'll see the same thing repeated at the end of the age.

1 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.


This is very specific. Everything Jesus began to do and to teach until the day He was taken up to heaven. He was taken up “after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles”. Once again, what are those who are raptured, the firstfruits, going to be doing prior to that? They will be writing about all that Jesus did and taught and will be giving instructions to all those who will be left behind.

3 After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”

The timing is fascinating. Jesus is raised from the dead after His suffering, He is with the apostles and disciples for 40 days and then is taken up. They remain until Pentecost when they are baptized with the Holy Spirit. Paul talks about "unto all the riches of the full assurance of faith". We all have faith, but with every "rich" we get from the word our faith grows and grows until we arrive at the full assurance.

6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” 9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.

It is not for you to know times and dates. However, we are the Lord’s witnesses. No one would call a witness if they didn’t know anything, so what is given to us to know is Jesus Christ, the resurrected King. What are witnesses? They are the evidence in a trial. Mike Lindell released "Absolute 9-0". It is a movie where he presents the evidence that he says is undeniable and will result in the Supreme court ruling 9-0 concerning the election fraud. What he has is like having a video tape of the bank being robbed. As the data was flying back and forth between the US and China and votes were being switched someone was recording the entire thing. Surely they had this evidence the first week of November, so why wait seven months to release this? If they recorded all the evidence of election fraud and knew about it in November don't you think the NSA is also listening into phones, texts, emails, etc? They aren't simply going to say "the election was stolen" they also needed to know each and every person involved. Imagine the last seven months as lawsuit after lawsuit has been put forward. State legislators, Judges, people working with the Tech giants, the Biden administration, there must be many, many phone calls, texts, emails that will unravel the entire twisted web of deceit. This is why we could not know, because if we had we would have given it away and then they would have completely shut down all communication. Allow them to be overconfident, they let down the guard, and then you will hear and learn so much. Besides, the NSA has everything on tape, so the minute you identify someone like Dominion, or Kemp or Zuckerberg you can then go back in time to 2020 and 2019.

10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”

“He will come back in the same way”. Does this mean that God is making known to us the end from the beginning as He said in Isaiah 46? Imagine the age of grace began with the Lord’s ascension and ends in the same way.

Here we see they need to see the ascension, it is a great motivation to them. They dive into the word and prayer. "You will see him come back in the same way you have seen Him go".

Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23 And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

1. I tell you the end from the beginning.

Isaiah 46:8 Remember this, and show yourselves men; bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors. 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; 10 declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure; 11 calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country; yea, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed, I will also do it.

This is one of the crucial prophecies concerning the watchmen. There is no one like God, the prophecies prove this, the fact that He can tell you the end from the beginning is proof of this. This is our focus, what Has God said. I talk to people who are depressed and crying over what they are seeing take place. Why? Everything I see is a fulfillment of what God said would take place, that encourages me, fills me with faith in His word unto the full assurance of faith.


2. Does nothing without telling His prophets

Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord Jehovah will do nothing, except he reveal his secret unto his servants the prophets.

Not only are we told that God tells us the end from the beginning, but we are also told that God reveals these secrets to His servants, the prophets. This word is in the Bible though it may have been secret. We have to dig it out just like digging out gold or silver.

John 15:15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything I have learned from My Father I have made known to you.

I get it, many believers don't want to refer to themselves as "prophets". OK, how about servants, how about friends?

Genesis 6:13 Then God said to Noah, "The end of all living creatures has come before Me, because through them the earth is full of violence. Now behold, I will destroy both them and the earth.

The Lord told us His coming would be as the days of Noah. Surely this is a very significant "day of Noah" when God revealed to him what He was about to do.

Genesis 18:17 And the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do?

OK, you aren't a prophet, but how about a descendant of Abraham? Are you a member of the household of faith?

Daniel 2:47 The king said to Daniel, "Your God is truly the God of gods and Lord of kings, the Revealer of Mysteries, since you were able to reveal this mystery."

Enough with the whole "no one knows the day or the hour". Revealing the mysteries is a glory to God. We pray that God's name would be hallowed on Earth as it is in heaven. Revealing mysteries glorifies God.

Jeremiah 23:22 But if they had stood in My council, they would have proclaimed My words to My people and turned them back from their evil ways and deeds."

Revealing the council of God requires faith, to those in the world it will look like courage. Those who don't do this will be ashamed at His coming.

3. Because you did not know the day of your visitation

There were many things that had been prophesied that the Israelites should have seen. It was inexcusable that by the time of the crucifixion they were not fully convinced that Jesus Christ was the Messiah.

Luke 19:44 and shall dash thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

Once you knew that Jesus was the Messiah then you knew that Jerusalem would be destroyed by Titus.

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

How did they miss this? There were wise men that came, the whole city was in an uproar when they heard that the Messiah had been born, Daniel's prophecy had to have been something they were aware of so they knew this was the right time frame. There was a horrible massacre that took place of little kids that the entire country must have been aware of. Two people in the temple prophesied of Jesus being the Messiah. John the Baptist was the child of a priest and his birth must have also been a very big sign to the nation.

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

The Lord's ministry was a huge sign

Deuteronomy 18:15 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;

John 6:14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.

Examine Jesus' History

It is outrageous these phony "experts" telling people "nothing good comes out of Nazareth" just like today where these phony experts tell us that "no one knows the day or the hour". They pretend to know Jesus' background yet know nothing at all.

Hosea 11:1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

Matthew 2:14-15 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.


Big Sign

Isaiah 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

John 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. Luke 23:18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas.


When I heard these people at the Stop the Steal rallies being called "deplorables" I knew I had to check it out. Jesus was a deplorable. When they declared that those who are unvaccinated were "othered" and would become the offscouring of all things I knew that being one with the unvaccinated was where Jesus was.


Zechariah 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

John 12:13-14 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord. And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written.

The Lord doesn't come to you in a Mercedes, or in a private airplane.

Psalm 41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

Mark 14:10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.

The January 6th false flag event, the betrayal of the deep state, the two impeachments, the Mueller investigation. All of this shows you who Judas is. All of their attacks tell you what the false prophet is most concerned with.

Zechariah 11:12 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.

Matthew 26:15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

There are two groups, those without morals, without any guiding principles other than to take bribes, and then there are those who walk by faith. Election fraud was carried out with bribes, it is very clear that this was something of this corrupt religion and false prophets.

Zechariah 11:13 And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prized at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.

Matthew 27:5-7 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.

With His stripes we are healed


Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Matthew 27:26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.


He was numbered with the transgressors


Isaiah 53:12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Matthew 27:38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.


He was pierced


Psalm 22:16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

John 20:27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.


They gave me vinegar to drink

Psalm 69:21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

John 19:29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.




Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

John 19:34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.


They cast lots upon my vesture

Psalm 22:18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

Mark 15:24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.


Not one of His bones is broken

Psalm 34:20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

John 19:33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs.


Buried in a rich man's tomb

Isaiah 53:9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

Matthew 27:57-60 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple: He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.

4. If you don’t watch I’ll come at a time you don’t know

3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and didst hear; and keep it, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee

Matthew 24:40 Then shall two men be in the field; one is taken, and one is left: 41 two women shall be grinding at the mill; one is taken, and one is left. 42 Watch therefore: for ye know not on what day your Lord cometh. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through. 45 Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath set over his household, to give them their food in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

When the Lord says no one knows the day the context is to explain how this means we must watch. This is like watching to make sure your house is not broken into or your business. Think of hackers, the steal isn't done is few minutes. They will break into your computer system, then they will snoop around, they might leave code that allows them to lift data, they will download files, they will be there for months. So your computer security guys are watching everyday for these intrusions, they are putting protocols in place to make the system safer, they are educating the workforce. That is what He means by "watch". That is what He means by "give them their food in due season". That is like a "patch" being released which protects from newly discovered vulnerabilities.

Matthew 25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.

Again here we see that we don't know the day or the hour because it forces us to watch Jesus. If you are walking with the Lord everyday, if you are in prayer and fellowship with Him then He will not say "I know you not". There are other verses about Noah, Abraham and those of us who are prophets, servants or friends of the Lord that tell us He will tell those that He knows. So if you are saying "no one knows the day or the hour" it indicates that you don't know the Lord and He doesn't know you.

Mark 13:33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 34 It is as when a man, sojourning in another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, to each one his work, commanded also the porter to watch. 35 Watch therefore: for ye know not when the lord of the house cometh, whether at even, or at midnight, or at cockcrowing, or in the morning; 36 lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

If you were the Butler of a great house and the Lord had gone on a trip you would have many ways of watching for His return. There is the phone, there are train, boat and plane schedules. You might learn that his business abroad is now over and He is returning, giving you a good way to estimate His return. Watching is not simply sitting by the window and watching, but it includes getting the house ready for the return. Doing jobs that are not easy to do while the Master is in the house.

Luke 2:8 And there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.

This is another example of what it is to watch. CRT in schools, the shepherds should hear the sheep making a big commotion and they should be on top of this driving away the wolves. Election fraud, the shepherds should be on top of this and again drive away the wolves. Open borders, phony pandemic, vaccine mandate, the wolves have circled the sheep, where are the shepherds?

Luke 12:37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and shall come and serve them. 38 And if he shall come in the second watch, and if in the third, and find them so, blessed are those servants. 39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have left his house to be broken through.

Blessed are those servants whom the Lord finds watching.

Luke 21:36 But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

1Corinthians 6:13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

1Thessalonians 5:6 so then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober.

Revelation 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.)

5. When shall these things be?


Matthew 24:3 And as he sat on 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?

Mark 13:4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when these things are all about to be accomplished?

Luke 21:7 And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when therefore shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when these things are about to come to pass?

Anytime someone talks about the signs of the Lord's coming someone will say "no one knows the day or the hour". Why didn't the Lord say that when the disciples asked Him "when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming?" They asked this in Matthew, Mark and Luke and in each instance the Lord responded in great detail.

There are several women who prefigure the rapture: the Shulamite woman, Rahab, Ruth and Esther. These women are quite different but think about it, when the Lord returns there will be many that are raptured and they are all in different situations. Esther was the queen, in the palace while Mordecai was a deplorable on the street, locked out of the city center, and a protestor. Rahab is a prostitute in a Canaanite city. Canaan signifies commerce. We have key people working in some of these companies, with CNN, with Facebook, with Amazon.com that are critical at helping us spy out the situation. Where do you think we got all these affidavits of election fraud, or who blew the whistle on many of these expose's that have come out the last few months. Ruth has nothing to do with the government or with the corrupt Canaanites, but she is one who is willing to humble herself and become nothing to take care of her mother in law. The rapture is for all those walking in faith. Esther is a great example of someone who took up their cross and followed the Lord. Mordecai is a great example, Rahab is a great example and Ruth is a great example. So what about the Shulamite woman? Ultimately this a romance, a love story. Like Mary there are those who have chosen the better part. Loving the Lord, worshipping the Lord, in the end is the better part.

"No one knows the day or the hour"

There is a fascinating theory that has recently been proposed, I'm not sure who came up with this first but I am pretty sure it wasn't me. Still here is the theory. As this planet X system passes by the earth many things will happen that seem to have been accurately and precisely described in the book of Revelation in the same order as well. However, the worst thing that will happen is that Earth's rotation will stop and the axis of rotation will tip over to about 90 degrees to the sun. This will be short term perhaps for a day or two.

What happens at this point is that a flood about 800 feet deep (it depends on what your latitude is) will hit the US, Europe and China. Because of Earth's rotation the Ocean is bulging out at the equator and has moved away from the poles. If the rotation stops you get this huge flood heading from the equator towards the poles. I think NYC will be under a flood 800 feet deep but not exactly sure if it is 800 or 900.

The second thing that happens is that when the Earth tips over half of the Earth is pointed at the sun and there will be no night and the other half is pointed away from the Sun and there will be no day.

So the theory is this, once this happens "no one knows the day or the hour". Our hours are based on the Earth rotating 15 degrees per hour, if it stops rotating you would have no idea what the hour is. Likewise our day is based on the sun rising and falling, if the axis of rotation tips over so that it is facing the sun there will be no sunrise and no sunset on earth, how would you know what day it is.

The thing I like about this interpretation is that it is a very precise answer to the question of when, telling you the exact time over two millenium, and yet the meaning for the casual observer is the exact opposite of what the Lord is saying. The only way to understand this word is to pay close attention to everything the Lord is saying.

"No one knows the day or the hour"
And there is another interesting addition to this from Generation2434. We are told that no one knows the day or the hour and yet we are also told that the feasts are a shadow of things to come. As a result many have taken this verse to be a reference to the Feast of Trumpets. However, we have come up with two competing theories, one the Feast of Trumpets takes place 10 years before the end of the age since it is 10 days before Atonement, and yet that time has come and gone, the other is that it is 7 years before the end of the age, which would be 2021 based on other prophecies, yet that time has come and gone. So Generation2434 has pointed out that during a jubilee year the Feast of Trumpets takes place on Atonement, if 2028 is a jubilee year then Feast of Trumpets and Atonement could both be fulfilled the same day and so "no one knows the day or the hour" could also refer to the Feast of Trumpets.

I would add one more thing, every failed prediction of when this day is has been a fulfillment of the Lord's word here.
