Romans 10:1-17 -- Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God

10 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. 4 Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

This chapter presents the way of salvation and it begins with the example of the Jewish people. So learn from them, they sought to establish their own righteousness and did not submit to God’s righteousness. If you are zealous for God that is great, but your zealousness needs to be based on a knowledge of Jesus Christ, the righteousness of God. You cannot possibly understand the law unless you know Christ, He is the culmination of the law. What the Lord has done is for everyone who believes, that we may be righteous in Jesus.

5 Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.” 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

There are two very different approaches to righteousness with God. In one approach you are assembling a bunch of rules on how you must live in order to establish your own righteousness. In the second approach you are rebuked from this approach. It isn’t about you climbing some mountain, or descending into some pit, Jesus has already been crucified, died and resurrected. Righteousness by faith is not about you doing anything but rather you receive in your heart that God has raised Jesus from the dead. If that word is in your heart then the word “Jesus is Lord” will bubble up within you. You don’t need to hope to fulfill some requirements to be righteous and be saved. No, if you believe that God has already raised Jesus from the dead and if you testify that Jesus is Lord with your own mouth, then you will be saved. It is a promise that you can take to the judgement seat of Christ.

10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”

We all have experiences where we were put to shame. What happened? I had an experience where the Lord told me to speak something but I refused. Had I not rejected that word but been faithful to speak it as told I would not have been put to shame. Let me use a more worldly example to help people understand this. During a Superbowl, the championship game in the NFL, the entire game had come down to this last few plays. Seattle had the ball on the goal line. If they score they win. The quarterback threw the ball and the defensive back made a truly great play to intercept that ball. This player was a rookie. A few days before the Superbowl they had been in practice and they had been running that exact same play in practice and the coach had been on him about how he was to defend it. He hadn’t done it in practice but here in the game he won the game for them. You take that word, you believe it, you receive it in your heart, and then you act on it. If you do that you will be saved.

12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Stop looking at yourself! You have way too high an opinion of yourself. Your salvation is not dependent on who you are, or who your parents are, or your culture, or what clothes you wear, what songs you like. We are all different, but that does not matter, it is the same Lord who is Lord of all. He is Lord of the kid in the gang, or who grew up on the street or the one with the trust fund. Jesus is the one who richly blesses all who call on Him. If salvation was of you, then you would be the one who would be glorified. Salvation is of Jesus, He is the one who is glorified.

14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

This is the part that we can play. We have nothing to do with our own salvation, but we can play a role in bringing the good news to others. Do you want to hear the word of God? Do you want to instill faith in others? Do you want to be a “sent one”, an ambassador of the gospel? That is what you are and what you are doing when you share the good news that Jesus is Lord and that God has raised Him from the dead with others.

16 But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?” 17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.

What a great revelation. ‘My faith is so weak, so small, I wish I was strong in the faith but I am not.’ Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. If you feel you are weak in the faith then the real problem is that you are not in the word of God. If you are physically weak, then go to the gym. Read the Bible, pray over the Bible, listen to sermons, fellowship with others, sing hymns and songs of worship. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

Romans 10:18-21 The one thing you cannot do if you want to be saved.

18 But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”

This is a very big prophecy. Isaiah prophesied of this, Jesus said that the gospel would be preached throughout the entire earth and then the end would come, and here Paul reiterates this. This age had a mission, the Lord said “I will build my church”. That was His overarching mission for the age. Within that mission preaching the gospel to the entire earth was a critical component. Right now we are seeing all kinds of protests against governments, they are claiming that the government has not treated them justly. Perhaps it was because of who they were, or where they lived, or the color of their skin, or the money in their bank account. These governments are all corrupt, they have plundered their people, so there is no reconciliation. If they confess the sins and make it right they will have to give all that plunder back. But meanwhile the gospel has been preached throughout the entire earth. The church has been built and has also struggled with this. “There is no Jew nor Gentile, no slave nor free, no male or female.” The righteousness of God is the foundation that we stand on in the church. Didn't everyone hear the gospel? Yes, but not all received it.

19 Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says, “I will make you envious by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding.” 20 And Isaiah boldly says, “I was found by those who did not seek me; I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me.”

This entire chapter on the way of salvation is framed within the context of Israel being rejected. They heard the good news but didn’t accept it. The problem is not that they couldn’t understand it, people with no understanding received it. The problem was not that they weren’t seeking hard enough, people who weren’t seeking at all found Jesus. The problem was not that they didn’t pray enough, asking for a revelation, Jesus revealed Himself to those who didn’t even ask. The problem was envy. They wanted to have their own righteousness. They wanted to be the one who climbed the mountain, the one who went into the pit and climbed out by their own strength. Think about how angry they are that they have studied, and prayed, and sought so hard and yet they have been left far behind by the church that Jesus has built.

21 But concerning Israel he says, “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.”

To declare that “Jesus is Lord” indicates that you obey Him as Lord. Being baptized is simply one example of this obedience, but our entire Christian life should be one of obeying the Lord’s speaking to us, even if we think we are too smart for that word. Having an attitude that the word that others obey is not something you need to obey is to be obstinate. Disobedient and obstinate both indicate that you are proud and arrogant. “Jesus is Lord” not you. Believe it and speak it and you shall be saved. You let the word come into your heart, get rooted in your heart until it flows right out of your mouth. Do that and you shall be saved.

Let’s make this really simple. The world is a heap of collapse, everyone trying to climb on top of others to get to the top of that heap. For thousands of years human history has been filled with those who want to be called “the greatest”. We have forgotten many of them, and many others had their lives end tragically or violently. In the end none of those people are able to save us. You can call on their name, read their words, it won’t matter, you won’t get saved. We have now come to a moment in history where the entire world will realize we need the savior. We’ll have famines, plagues and wars and to make it even worse we’ll realize that our rulers have played us. They took our jobs, our houses, our money and even our children to make themselves rich. Every empire has ended in a heap of collapse.

So then, if you want to be saved there is one thing you can’t do. Many people talk about the things that you need to do to get saved. You need to pray, yet some people have gotten saved who didn’t pray. You need to seek the Lord, yet some people have gotten saved who weren’t seeking for the Lord. You need to understand the gospel, yet there are people who have been saved who don’t have any understanding. In truth the Lord has already done everything you need, you simply need to receive it. But there is one thing that you can do that will prevent you from being saved. If you seek to have your own righteousness, if you pray to have your own righteousness, if your labor is for your own righteousness. As long as you want to be Lord you will not be able to call “Lord Jesus”. As long as you are envious of Jesus as Lord you won’t be able to receive His words. Your pride and arrogance will make you disobedient and obstinate.

But suppose that isn’t you. You are very happy to receive the work Jesus has done for you and to worship Him as Lord. However, you are weak in the faith, what can you do? Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. How much word can you hear? You can listen to hymns and songs of praise. You can listen to sermons. You can fellowship with others. You can read the word. You can be as strong in the faith as you want. You can pray, seek the Lord, and study the word. All of these things can help you grow in grace and become strong in the faith.

“What not to do if you want to be saved”, some will assume there is some big sin. The “unforgivable sin”. So let’s address that. Matthew 12:31 For this reason I say unto you, Every sin and injurious speaking shall be forgiven to men, but speaking injuriously of the Spirit shall not be forgiven to men. 32 And whosoever shall have spoken a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this age nor in the coming [one]. The Pharisees had rejected Jesus saying that He cast out demons by the prince of the demons. They were envious of Him. They wanted to have their own righteousness. They wanted to be Lord. As a result they couldn’t hear Him, they rejected Him and they were disobedient and obstinate. This is the one thing you can’t do if you want to be saved.

Yes but that resurrection is the chosen to the marriage supper. They are given by Jesus the work they will do in the kingdom of heaven which is their reward . Then they will return with Christ to establish the Kingdom on earth, destroy evil and reign for the 1,000 years. Also, the church of believers as a whole will be shielded and protected as explained in Rev chapter 12 the man child caught up is the chosen I’m describing but the church as a whole minus the chosen will remain but it’s a short time until the kingdom is set up

No idea what you are saying. The saints are "raptured" to the marriage feast. No believers go through the Great tribulation because that is when the wrath of God is poured out.

The tribulation refers to a 7 year period, the great tribulation refers to the last 3 /12 years of this period. Yes, there will be believers left behind during the first 3 1/2 but they will all be raptured by the end of that time just as Lot was rescued from Sodom and Gomorrah. Genesis describes three raptures -- Enoch prior to the flood, Noah goes through the flood, and Lot is rescued from the fiery judgement right at the very end.

Psalm 83 Let them be confounded and dismayed that they may know that Jesus Christ is Lord


1 O God, keep not thou silence: Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.


O Lord, look on us for we are calling on You.


2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult; And they that hate thee have lifted up the head.


Lord, those that hate you are not hiding anymore. They are puffed up, they are proud, they strut.


3 They take crafty counsel against thy people, And consult together against thy hidden ones.


CRT is crafty counsel. Trying to turn kids into Antifa warriors is crafty counsel. This bioweapon is crafty counsel. Manipulating Putin into destroying Ukraine is crafty counsel.

4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

Lord, Israel, your centerpiece is at the heart of everything going on. They have to first destroy the US to get to Israel. We have a covenant with You, we have a contract that You will save, so we are calling on You, honor your word to us, your people.

5 For they have consulted together with one consent; Against thee do they make a covenant: 6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagarenes; 7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre: 8 Assyria also is joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot. Selah

Lord, the deep state has joined together. The NIH and CCP, Biden and Xi, the FBI and CIA, the CDC and FDA.

9 Do thou unto them as unto Midian, As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon; 10 Who perished at Endor, Who became as dung for the earth. 11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; Yea, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna; 12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession The habitations of God.

Lord Jesus, this is your church, your possession, your habitation they want to steal.

13 O my God, make them like the whirling dust; As stubble before the wind.

O Lord, make them like the drought stricken west that we see on the news. Dry up all their reservoirs, all their lakes. Fill the air with the dust, have them chop down their trees, abandon their crops.

14 As the fire that burneth the forest, And as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire, 15 So pursue them with thy tempest, And terrify them with thy storm.

Lord, we call on You. Pursue them like the fires in the West where they must continually retreat from the wall of flames. Create firenados, and terrify them with the storm. With hurricane Ida, with Fred, and Grace, and Nora. Fill the oceans with storms that terrify them.

16 Fill their faces with confusion, That they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.

As the world collapses around them we ask that this would cause them to seek You. To repent and to call on Jesus who is Lord. To confess that they are nothing and can do nothing and that they need your salvation. May your name be glorified.

17 Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever; Yea, let them be confounded and perish;

Lord, put them to shame over Ukraine. May all the evil deeds be exposed. May we see video clips of everything they said over the last twenty years and put them to shame. May they be dismayed over the glittering sword of the Lord that has left it’s sheath to execute your judgement on the earth. And Lord, confound them on every side. Confound them with the election audits, confound them with the recall votes, confound them with the Epstein investigation, confound them with Afghan witnesses to the CIA crimes, confound those who are compromised with foreign countries or who are secretly working with the globalists or the Satanists. Confound them with the trucker convoy and with inflation.

18 That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, Art the Most High over all the earth.

Yes, Lord, remember your word that every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. We pray that you would remember your word to fulfill it. Amen.

Something about the Bible I love but used to hate

When you read the Old Testament it is filled with references to kingdoms and people you have never heard of. Who are the Assyrians? What about the Babylonians? Gog, Magog, Nineveh, etc. Eventually I learned that although these people and kingdoms have long since turned to dust their spirit is still here. The great Babylon today does not refer to Iraq, it refers to the materialistic USA. So at first it is hard to figure out what God is talking about but that is a minor issue, it is fun to figure it out because in reality every word in the Bible is about Jesus, it is about us, it is about our heart, and sin, and grace, and God's love and salvation.

But here is what I love about all this. It is so easy to read about some great abusive kingdom, the Pharaoh of Egypt, or Nineveh's mistreatment of the Jews, or the vicious Assyrians, yet where are they today? Just dust. Yet in the midst of all this tiny Israel is still here! How? We had Roman Empire, Greek Empire, Babylonian Empire, Medo Persian Empire, one after the other "great" empires came and went and yet Israel is still here. That is the power of the word and the spirit of this word. Everything else is vanity, a great big statue that will become dust after a few hundred years.

To me this lesson is loud and clear. The church may seem small, insignificant. The deep state can boast of working for a hundred generations to seize power, of ruling the world for thousands of years, and yet here we are at the end of the age and everything revolves around the people of the book.

The first five books tie in with this year and the rapture.

Dear Normies...


"Conspiracy Theorists" told you Russiagate was (a lie).
We were right.

"Conspiracy Theorists" told you Spygate was real.
We were right.

"Conspiracy Theorists" told you Covid was a hoax.
We were right.

"Conspiracy Theorists" told you that the ultimate goal was endless vaccines and a digital tracking system.
We were right.

"Conspiracy Theorists" told you that there were safe, cheap and effective therapeutics that could have saved countless lives.
We were right.

"Conspiracy Theorists" told you that the vaccines would be ineffective and harmful. That they would cover up the data to protect the narrative.
We were right.

"Conspiracy Theorists" told you Biden and the Democrats stole the election. That his administration would be an epic disaster.
WE. WERE. RIGHT.

2021 is "the ultimate voice of God" and He is saying "this is the beginning of their end"

History of Israel -- a long list of people who God asked to represent Him but they had other plans, something more important than what God had planned for them.

I was asked where I see us at this point in history?

I see the fall of Babylon as referring to the US, it is simple to prove. So the key thing is that the fall of Babylon -- the US, takes place in a single hour. That would have been completely impossible at the time of the apostle John but very believable today.

The good news is that the last seven years of this age is very well documented with a precise timetable. There are several people on line who have done a wonderful job with this. Prophecy Club sees himself as having special insight into this timeline even though I don't fully agree with what he shares I do respect the extensive work he has done in this area. DTBM is the guy who seems to be the real expert on the history in the Bible, I love all his messages.

That said the timeline in the book of Revelation is not my interest. I'm much more focused on making the first rapture which takes place prior to the start of the tribulation, maybe even six months before.

What is most important -- I think the tribulation has a very high probability of starting this September. There are extensive prophecies in the Bible which point to this. The best people to listen to for this are S4C Global Community (Pastor Sandy) and Dr. Barry Awe.

There are also amazing prophecies in the book of Psalms that point to the first rapture taking place this month. Granted, people have been very excited ever since the Revelation 12 sign in 2017, so there have been many who have been wrong again and again with their guesses. That said all of the prophecies, types, shadows they have dug out of the word all fall apart starting mid April.

So then where are we right now? Many think and teach that Ezekiel 38 takes place prior to the tribulation. Israel burns the fuel from the wreckage and buries the dead for seven years, so sounds like Ezekiel 38 is God providing for Israel before the tribulation. Also, this miraculous victory sets the stage for the Antichrist to confirm the covenant which is the official start of the 7 years.

So then I see this current invasion of Ukraine growing. Russia has no choice after Biden debanked him. The best way to respond to this debanking is for Putin to take over the Mid East. To do that he must ally himself with Islamic nations -- this is the Gog/Magog army that Ezekiel 38 talks about. So then buckle up, this battle in Ukraine is not about to end, it is about to blow up into a massive world war.

One of the prophecies from Psalms says that this year (ending April 2nd with the start of the Jewish new year) is "The ultimate speaking of the Lord" and what He is saying is that these world leaders are fools not knowing what is coming. This is the beginning of the End for them.

Putin is not a good guy, the Lord is gathering him to Israel for destruction.

Babylon the Great = The US

1. Babylon has made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication -- that sounds like Hollywood to me. You could only say this of the US, no one else.

2. Isaiah 13:19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans’ pride, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

The only country that could be called "the glory of kingdoms" for this last 80+ years is the US.

3. I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters

The US sits upon the Atlantic ocean, the Pacific ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the arctic ocean. Not only so but we have a base on Antarctica and sit on that ocean as well. Who else has as many bases as the US does around the world? No one else sits on many waters, certainly not Rome.

4. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and [b]decked with gold and precious stone and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations

In the Bible the word of God is likened to fine gold. What nation has "the word of God" in their hand? What nation distributed Bibles to the whole earth? This cup is full of abominations. We bring Hollywood to the whole earth in this cup of the US being a "Christian" nation.

5. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth:

This is why people think it is Rome but consider this, the US is the only country with bases on all seven continents. If the seven mountains (not hills) refer to the seven continents then the only possibility is the US.

6. 18 And the woman whom thou sawest is the great city, which [k]reigneth over the kings of the earth.

What "great city" reigns over the earth? Surely not Rome. It used to be London but now it is clearly Washington DC.

7. and the merchants of the earth waxed rich by the power of her [e]wantonness.

This has to refer to the US.

8. 11 And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no man buyeth their [j]merchandise any more;

Again, this must refer to the US, certainly not to Rome, or Italy or even Europe.

Romans 12:1-10 -- True and Proper worship

1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.

Let’s look at what true and proper worship is.

2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Being conformed to the world does not just refer to Hollywood, or Wall Street but also to the religious world. CNN and MSNBC are trying to conform the world to an approved narrative. The world tries to tell Christians what “true and proper” worship is, instead let’s look at what the fellowship of the apostles is.

3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.

When 70 million Americans are called “deplorable” and “irredeemable” and “chumps” then know that this is not sober judgment. God has distributed to each one of us. In the world the talking heads on CNN want to be able to tell you what to think, that is the world. In the true and proper worship we know that God has distributed to each one, so we need to be open to one another. If you disrespect these 70 million as being “ignorant” or “racists” then you are thinking more highly of yourself than you ought. No doubt we have ignorant people in the US and we have racist people, but when you dismiss 50% of the population with these broad brush judgements you are thinking of yourself more highly than you ought.

4 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.

I have been very impressed in this battle against the election fraud how there are many different functions in the body. Pastor Dana Coverstone prophesied about this with his dreams. Others translated those dreams to the Body (Dream Exegesis). Still others have been serving, doing everything necessary to organize and set up these rallies and protests. Still others like Steve Bannon’s war room are there encouraging everyone to stand strong, to “brace yourself” as Pastor Dana Coverstone’s dreams repeated over and over. This requires that some give, give of their time and their money. Going to these rallies to me is an opportunity to be a living sacrifice. But the politicians are all responding to the phone calls and emails. Calling your representative and asking for justice just like the widow with the unrighteous judge. Some are taking the lead and they need to be diligent. These are the ones who are involved in the lawsuits. I listened to the testimony of one man who spent 25 or 26 hours to meticulously break down election results so that he could analyze them statistically. They are tracking down people to see if they requested ballots, they are checking voter registration records and death records and change of name records. They are taking affidavits from poll workers and those involved in the fraud. Finally there is the matter of showing mercy. There are a lot of people who were peripheral to the fraud, yes they were involved, but they regret it and would like to confess and become a witness. Show mercy to these ones, welcome them and encourage them. Likewise there are those who are diving into the word to see what the Lord has to say to us in these days.

9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

This is true and proper worship. You cannot wink at sin and still have “true and proper worship”. You cannot ignore evil and still have “true and proper worship”. These rallies are not about a man, they are about clinging to what is good. They often chant “hold the line” but that means we are not going to give up on our constitution and our rights to a free and fair election, free speech, and freedom of worship. To be a whistleblower who will be vilified and lose their job you need to "hate what is evil".

10 Be devoted to one another in love.

I did not understand why people voted for Trump, but on the other hand I did understand why people didn’t vote for Hillary Clinton. But the Bible says to be devoted to one another in love. So I asked them and I listened so I could understand. NAFTA took their jobs and the mortgage crisis took their homes. It made sense to me.

Honor one another above yourselves.

They figured out what was going on before I did. In the stock market the way you take over companies is to drive the price down, not up. This pandemic will enable them to gain control. It has been a tremendous boon to Amazon.com. Zoom has had a huge increase due to this shutdown. The internet has been a huge beneficiary of the school shutdowns and forcing every kid in the country to sit in front of laptops on the internet. People call this “the great reset”. You will be required to get the vaccine in order to take part in many different activities. They will track this by injecting a small RFID chip into you. This is the mark of the beast. The stimulus plans to keep the economy running during the shutdowns will bankrupt the US and cause us to move to a worldwide digital currency. If you don’t see this as the explanation for everything that is going on then you must conclude that they are acting irrationally, foolishly, and willfully damaging their own country.

31:20 into this he gives you the prophecy that this is the beginning of WWIII, it will result in Russia attacking and destroying the US and then heading south to attack Israel.
