When people have to wear masks at work it causes online communication to double and triple. The government wants all communication going through the a network that they can monitor and listen to.

Forcing people onto various platforms is not a useless ploy to flex your power, it will give the government real power and knowledge to know who to go after to shut down dissent.

What is the prosperity gospel? Why do I refer to them as false prophets?


The idea of false prophets like Balaam as a feature of the apostasy at the end of the age is intertwined throughout the entire ministry. Therefore it is good to put this in the blog to document the contrast with the true gospel.

1Jn 3:11-24 Marvel not if the world hate you

11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

The Lord’s command is that we love one another. If you are born of God you can’t get around that, you can’t come up for excuses, you know that even if it costs you a lot, just as it cost the Lord alot, you must do the right thing because you must love one another.

12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

When crooks get caught they lie, if that doesn’t work they have no other choice but to kill.

13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

An article in the Atlantic, a major periodical is titled “A large portion of the electorate chose the sociopath”. It is stunning, four years ago all you heard from some was the need to resist and challenge the election results. Now the same people speak hate towards anyone who would do that now. The hateful speech they spew out is truly amazing.

14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

There is no qualification as to political affiliation or pet issues. It doesn’t matter to me who you voted for, if you voted, or if you think there was fraud or not.

15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

There has been a lot of hate spewing out and that speech reveals the heart of a murderer. I think we all know instinctively that the level of hate speech we are hearing reveals murderers among us.

16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

In the same way we can perceive the love of God in those who risk all to speak the truth. A truck driver came forward as a witness that he drove over a hundred thousand ballots across the border from NY to Pa. That is illegal. When the feds came to question him it wasn’t about his testimony but rather it was to threaten him and his family. But he stood strong and recorded them. There was a woman that refused to certify the election because they violated the protocols. She was threatened but she also stood strong.

17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

Zuckerberg gave $400 million to certain states to manipulate the election. He certainly has “the world’s goods” and he certainly sees the needs of many, but he has decided to go all in to get his way despite the prayers and pleas of millions of people. There is no love abiding there.

18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

These witnesses are loving in deed and truth. We have seen a number of politicians give lip service to doing something while doing nothing. You have to love in deed and in truth.

19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. 20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

You have to listen to your conscience. There are over 2,000 affidavits from people who have done that.

22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

We are asking that every legal vote be counted and every illegal vote not be counted. We are asking that the law and the constitution be honored, the contract we all agreed to.

23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

We have been commanded, believe on the name of Jesus Christ. He was raised from the dead. He was the light that shone in the darkness and the darkness did not overcome it. That is where we have our faith. And we are commanded to love one another. Believing on the name of Jesus includes believing that He will move within His people. It includes trusting the army of God to hear His voice and to respond to Him.

24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

Some of the prophecies pointing to the next 12 days.

First, the Psalms point to prophecies on a year by year basis beginning with 1901. Some of the posts show how various psalms appear prophetic. For example the same year that Stalin famously said there is no God, the Psalms says "the fool says there is no God". The year Stalin dies the Psalms says "the fool has said there is no God". Psalm 48 celebrates the Jews returning to the land just as they did in 1948. Psalm 67 tells them not to worry about certain kingdoms that are threatening them, God will give them to Israel and sure enough during the 6 day war when they got Jerusalem they also got those lands. There are many more examples pointing to each Psalm being prophetic of the year. Psalm 117 splits the Bible, the word of God and the water in the word. You have the exact same number of chapters on each side of Psalm 117. This psalm tells the Gentiles to rejoice, you can trust in God's word, and the gematria says that the hidden revelation will be revealed. Every single word in Hebrew is also a number as every single letter signifies a number. As a result when you say "Jesus" you are actually saying a number. So then you can see significant meanings in various numbers. 117 is used repeatedly for "Let it divide". The year 2017 was very significant because in that year we had the Revelation 12 sign in the heavens and that was when the watchmen really began to fire on all cylinders warning of the Lord's imminent return. 2017 was also the year that Donald Trump said that Jerusalem belongs to Israel. Trump/Pence and his son in law named Jared (Hebrew for descend) has the interesting meaning of "Trumpets will descend". There there is a prophecy from a Jewish Rabbi from about 500 years ago (I have posted the link to this in my blog). He said that on the Jubilee the Ottoman Empire would relinquish their hold on Israel (he made this prophecy before the Ottoman Empire controlled Israel) and that the word would go out for the Jews to return to Israel. This happened in 1917. He said in the next jubilee Jerusalem would be returned to Israel, this happened in 1967, and he said the next jubilee will be the 120th and then judgement would come. 2017 was the 120th jubilee and therefore the 6,000th year for man. That fulfills the prophecy in Genesis that it took six days to create Man and then on the seventh God rested. The seventh would refer to the Millenial kingdom.

Because of this many expected the Millenial kingdom to begin in 2018, that was four years ago. However, the fig tree prophecies were then revealed to us. The first says that the generation that sees the Jews return to Israel would see "all these things fulfilled". They returned in May of 1948. A generation is 70 years, but if you are rebellious it is 80 years but they are trouble and sorrow, indicating the tribulation. As a result we expect all things fulfilled by May of 2028. Seventy years would have been 2018, however, there is a second fig tree prophecy that the Lord is upset that after 3 years there is no fruit on the fig tree. He agrees to give it one more year, to dung it, and if it still has no fruit to then cut it down. Three years takes us to 2020, the year of the pandemic, a bioweapon, that we were lied to repeatedly about and which was used to maximize deaths. There was no fruit of righteousness and you can imagine the Lord was angry.

Some of the prophecies pointing to the next 12 days, part 2

The year 2021 in the Hebrew calendar, the number for that year is the same word as "dung". So then, it was "the dung" year. It should be noted that the Hebrew calendar begins on Nisan 1, the same month as the Passover. The Bible gives a very precise description of the signs in the heavens with the stars that tell you the start of the year. Dr. Barry Awe does a wonderful job of discussing this, quite marvelous and well worth hearing. However, to keep it simple Nisan begins after the equinox, the month will always begin on the New Moon. This year that would be April 2nd. So then the dung year ends April 1, 2022. The Lord is going to be looking for fruit from this tree over the next 12 days.

Then in Psalms 2020 was prophesied of in Psalm 120 and talks about being surrounded by liars. Psalm 2021 is where we are now. Psalm 121 is the only Psalm in the book of Psalms with an infinite form of Lamed. Lamed is the 12th letter of the alphabet (they have 22 letters). The 11th letter is a Kof and it means the crowning achievement. There are only a few letters in Hebrew which are written special if they are at the end of a word. Kof is one of them, it goes down, it descends. Lamed is another one, it signifies the shepherd's staff and it goes up, above all the other letters. It means to rise, but since it is in the infinite form it means "the year of rising". Then there is a very interesting gematria with this psalm. The chariot that came and took Elijah to the heavens had a gematria of 222. The word 222 is the same number as the speaking of God. The gematria of Psalm 121 is 2220. When you multiply a number by ten it is the ultimate, so then in this year we have "the ultimate speaking of God". 2021 has certainly been very special and a whole lot has been revealed but "ultimate speaking of God" has not yet occurred, therefore we are looking with great expectation at the next 12 days.

Psalm 121:1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains:
From whence shall my help come?
2 My help cometh from Jehovah,
Who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:
He that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel
Will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 Jehovah is thy keeper:
Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day,
Nor the moon by night.
7 Jehovah will keep thee from all evil;
He will keep thy soul.
8 Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in
From this time forth and for evermore.


This Psalm is a very clear promise to keep us from all evil that is about to come on the Earth.

Then there was the Dana Coverstone dream that referred to 2021 as the Passover. When Elijah was raptured he split the Jordan river and crossed over before being taken up (reminiscent of the Passover and crossing the Red sea) this was then followed by Elisha taking the mantle of Elijah and splitting the Jordan and crossing back over. If we see a rapture over the next 12 days it will be followed shortly by Passover which is next month.

Some of the prophecies pointing to the next 12 days, part 3

There are many more signs and prophecies, I have posted everything I have seen in this blog. However, let's talk about what this means for the immediate future.

Over the next 12 days we see two things happening, God's people being taken out of the Earth which is about to suffer the tribulation (this event is commonly referred to as the rapture, or the redemption of our body, or our rescue, hope of glory, etc).

At the same time the firstborn of every man and beast in Egypt will die. I suspect this refers to the collapse of the US dollar as the reserve currency. This will have a global impact. Obviously the US will be hit the hardest, like a stone tossed into a pond and sinking to the bottom. If you don't understand the impact that the US currency will have on you just think of Venezuela and the collapse of their economy, same thing.

This will be followed by Russia uniting with a host of Islamic nations and attacking Israel. This will be like Pharaoh chasing the Israelites across the Red Sea. This war is prophesied of in Ezekiel 38 and Israel will be delivered in miraculous form. This will take place prior to the Feast of Trumpets, about the end of September (first new moon after the equinox). This victory will allow the AntiChrist to confirm a covenant with the many that Israel can rebuild their temple. That will be the official start of the 70th week, what we call the last seven years of this age. The first half is "the tribulation" and the second half is called "the great tribulation". During the first half one fourth of all the people on earth will die, during the second half one third of those who are still alive will die.

During the tribulation the Antichrist and False prophet will roll out "the Mark of the Beast" -- you can't buy or sell without this mark on your body and if you receive this mark you can't be saved. This mark divides those that belong to Jesus from those that belong to Satan.

Wow, the number of verses pointing to this event are amazing.

The book of Song of Songs, tied to the Shulamite woman going into King David's palace before Absalom, a type of the Antichrist who exposes his insurrection after the rapture.

As of today if the Bear has 3 ribs in his mouth the ribs would refer to the cities they have seized in Ukraine and not 3 countries. We are starting to see the Bear devour flesh, but I suspect the "much flesh" in the prophecy indicates tactical nukes, so as bad as it is as of today it is about to escalate significantly.

Zelensky keeps saying how great Ukraine is doing and how they are "resisting" Russia. I think at some point Russia decides to stop playing nice. I know that sounds horrible to describe the war so far as "Russia playing nice". However, the reality is Russia controls the skies and if they decide to use their top weapons Ukraine will be devoured. Tactical nukes are designed to kill much flesh just as those vacuum bombs are also.

Two very interesting OT Types of where we are right now

I have seen that David's years in Ziklag represents end of this age prior to him reigning in Hebron for 7 1/2 years (the next 7 1/2 years), and at the same time the rebellion of Absalom also represents this time right now. Think of them as two transparencies that you can put over our current events.

So let's look at these two types and we can learn a lot about what is happening right now.

1st -- when David was in Ziklag he was hiding from a corrupt regime of King Saul but at the same time was busy fighting the Amalekites, what we now call "the deep state". They were Moloch and Baal worshippers, they sacrificed children, they drank blood, they tried to fight in the shadows by provoking wars and fighting between two powers. They pick off the weak and infirm.

This pandemic would be something the Amalekites would think of. Forcing children to wear masks knowing it will reduce IQ by 21 points is something they would do. Shutting schools down knowing it will cause a spike in deaths among children is something they would do. Using CRT to divide and conquer -- that also is something of the Amalekites. Creating a vaccine that kills people, hiding the data, and forcing people to get the shot is also a move of these snakes. Meanwhile bringing all these things out into the light is something that David and his army would be doing. So then the last 2 years we can see that we are watching King David (Jesus) fighting the Amalekites from Ziklag (a city of the kings but in the hands of the deplorable Philistines at the time).

Now consider the rebellion of Absalom who is a type of the antichrist and who seizes Jerusalem after the pre-tribulation rapture. Prior to his insurrection he set himself up outside the gate of Jerusalem telling anyone with a beef that he agreed with them and would support them if he were king. This is the kind of double dealing that Zelensky is referring to. He was promised help that never came while at the same time Russia was given the signal to go ahead and take Ukraine, they would do nothing. The same is happening at our Southern border. You want to come to the US, no problem, we'll pay for you, do whatever you need if you simply support this corrupt regime. The same thing is happening with the law courts with criminals being released on the street. The same thing is happening in the school system where they allow them to do as they please and if the parents object the DOJ investigates the parents. The same thing is happening with Pfizer and anyone who wants to push the vaccine and masks (masks cause the use of the internet tech giant platforms to double and triple).

So then the scene is set for the rapture and arrival of the Antichrist to seize power.

There will be a rapture of the church from this world whether you believe it or not.


1. 911 was a warning of how corrupt the government is.

2. 2017 — pedophile rings revealed, people went to prison, Epstein had been doing that for years. We all saw how corrupt this world is.

3. Sammy Davis Jr was a Satanists, Bob Hope was a handler for a woman enslaved, etc.

4. 2020 — how big a warning can that be and everyone is ignoring it. Who in the world has the power to shut down Vegas, NBA, NFL, etc.

In the 120th year there is a worldwide judgement. 120th jubilee is the 120th year.

5. 68 = “to repent and to return” in Hebrew.

6. 888 = Jesus, 153 = the fish, the sons of God, the church. The one’s that will be brought to Jesus

351 = numerical value for the church. 71 = the Holy Spirit (Jonah = Dove). 710 = fullness of Holy Spirit.

7. Add the chapters up for the first four books of the Bible and you have 153 = sons of God reading forward and the church reading backward. In Numbers 2 we have a physical representation of the church based on the camping around the tabernacle. The number 4 is the same letter for the door, and Jesus is the door for our salvation.

So then the first four books tells you it is about the cross and the door opening for the 153, the sons of God (which in typology refers to the church).

Deuteronomy gives you the number 959. If you subtract 888 (Jesus) you get 71 (Holy Spirit).

Now take the whole numerical value of the first four books (the number of verses) and you get 4894, subtract that from this year 5782 (2021) and you get 888. Another way to look at this suppose I take 888 out of the first four books like processing gold out of ore so I can see Jesus Christ in all His glory. Then I get 4894, this year.

Take all 5 books of the Torah 5853 (verses) and subtract this year 5782 (2021) you get 71 = Holy Spirit.

Now guess what, they did these calculations before and came up with nothing because one verse was missing. The verse was “after the pandemic” that was the key. Once that verse was included everything fell into place. This means that when Moses wrote the Torah God knew there was a pandemic coming and 2021 would be “after the pandemic”. When exactly in 2021 (begins Nisan 1 of 2021 and ends April 1, 2022) would you say it is “after the pandemic”? January 18th of 2022 the WHO said the worst of it could be over by the middle of this year. Most mask mandates are over, and federal vaccine mandates for businesses have been blocked. During the State of the Union address March 1, 2022 we saw them remove the vaccine mandate. So then if the pandemic is “over” it ended this month.

Logos - word of God, Virgin added together = 888. Mary is the virgin, add the Logos to her and you get Jesus Christ.

8. Jonah (dove, meaning holy Spirit) told Nineveh — 40 days and y’all gonna get it. They repented. Then children of Israel in the wilderness for 40 years, again some made it into the good land, many did not. Then Jesus is crucified and 40 jubilees later it is 2000 years later. After 40 jubilees judgement is coming.

9. Now when you take 71 (dove, fullness of joy, and praise), the holy spirit and you multiply by ten you get the fullness of the Holy Spirit, 710. Now 710 equals the Holy Spirit, the fullness of Joy and the Candlesticks (the church). Go to gospel of John and John the Baptist tells us that the fullness of Joy is to hear the voice of the Bridegroom, that is the 71 that God put in the Torah.

10. 2294 means to be revealed. That is the number in Psalm 117 and 119 to know when the reveal is coming — the reveal is about a window, a door opening for the Gentiles.

There will be a rapture of the church from this world whether you believe it or not.

Return and Repent

WWI began 07/28/1914. 7+28+19+14 = 68. In Hebrew the word for "repent and return" is the same as the number 68.

WWII began 1/9/1939. 1+9+19+39 = 68

Ukraine invasion began 2/24/2022. 2+24+20+22 = 68

This invasion will be the beginning of WWIII.

When WWI began no one thought it was the start of a world war. When WWII began no one thought it was the beginning of a world war.

Revelation 4 -- The rapture of the church

1 After this I looked,


It is crucial to know what “after this” is referring to. That last three chapters have been talking about Jesus walking in the midst of the seven golden lampstands, it has all been about the seven churches. So then “after this” is “after the church age”. In the first three chapters John refers to the church over 20 times but will not mention the church again until chapter 19 when they are coming out of heaven with the Lord. We are told repeatedly “behold I come quickly” and in this chapter John says “I looked”. Don’t blink or you will miss it.

and, behold, a door was opened in heaven:


This is a clear reference to Isaiah 26 “open ye the gate” and to Psalm 118 “open the gate of righteousness”. Isaiah 26 is read every year at the festival of trumpets and Jesus quoted Psalm 118 saying we wouldn’t see Him again until we said “blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord”. This opened door in heaven is a reference to those verses. I believe this door was opened in 2017 at the Feast of Trumpets, and started the ten years of awe, Jacob's trouble. I also believe that many believers have "looked" and they have beheld all kinds of prophecies and signs that tell us of the Lord's imminent return.

and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me;

Once again, a clear reference to the “trumpet of God” which the New Testament says is accompanied with the raising of the dead and the rapture of the saints.

Zechariah 9:14 Then the Lord will appear over them; his arrow will flash like lightning. The Sovereign Lord will sound the trumpet; he will march in the storms of the south, 15 and the Lord Almighty will shield them. They will destroy and overcome with slingstones. They will drink and roar as with wine; they will be full like a bowl used for sprinkling the corners of the altar. 16 The Lord their God will save his people on that day as a shepherd saves his flock. They will sparkle in his land like jewels in a crown.

which said, Come up hither,

Another reference to the Lord’s quoting of Psalm 118. The week before a wedding a bride groom will be “called up here” in the synagogue to read the scripture and when that happens the congregation will all say “blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord”. But here it refers to be caught up in the rapture.

and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.


So John is caught up to the heaven to see something that will happen in the future, it is a direct reference to the return of Jesus. It is also a clear reference to Jesus as the bride groom and the resurrection and rapture of the saints. Also, consider that the things that must be after this chapter are better seen from the heavens. We get raptured up before all the things happen in the rest of the book of Revelation.

2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.


This is the coronation of Jesus.

3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

The rainbow is a direct reference to Noah, which of course is another reference to the rapture (8 people in the ark, the number 8 refers to Jesus, 1 + 7, 7 refers to the church, they are in the ark and are rescued from the judgement of God on the earth).

4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. 5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

He has just spent three chapters talking to us about the golden lampstands, the seven churches, and now he sees the seven lamps of fire burning before the throne. The church has been raptured to the throne.

6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. 7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. 8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

This looks like the coronation of the Lord Jesus and He is there in heaven with His bride by Him.

9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, 10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Isaiah 14:1-27 Zombie apocalypse greets the Fallen angels

1 The Lord will have compassion on Jacob; once again he will choose Israel and will settle them in their own land. Foreigners will join them and unite with the descendants of Jacob. 2 Nations will take them and bring them to their own place. And Israel will take possession of the nations and make them male and female servants in the Lord’s land. They will make captives of their captors and rule over their oppressors. 3 On the day the Lord gives you relief from your suffering and turmoil and from the harsh labor forced on you, 4 you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon: How the oppressor has come to an end! How his fury has ended! 5 The Lord has broken the rod of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers, 6 which in anger struck down peoples with unceasing blows, and in fury subdued nations with relentless aggression. 7 All the lands are at rest and at peace; they break into singing. 8 Even the junipers and the cedars of Lebanon gloat over you and say, “Now that you have been laid low, no one comes to cut us down.”

OK, there will be a lot of people happy that “the Great Babylon” has fallen. The Harlot sits on seven mountains, signifying the seven continents. Companies like Nike, Apple, and McDonalds have their factories in many of these lands and the people are oppressed or in the case of McDonalds they are burning down forests to create prairies for their cattle. People in these sweat shops will rejoice. This would even apply to China, the people in these factories are slaves but with the market for their goods collapsing there is no point in them working like slaves. To put an end to the obscene consumption of the US is something that will cause the people who have had to work under this rod of oppression to rejoice.

9 The realm of the dead below is all astir to meet you at your coming; it rouses the spirits of the departed to greet you— all those who were leaders in the world; it makes them rise from their thrones— all those who were kings over the nations.

Wow! This is not talking about the dead in Christ who have risen first. This is referring to the zombies who rise after them to greet the fallen angels. Joe Biden's victory was with 12 million dead people voting for him, so it is only fitting that they greet him now.

10 They will all respond, they will say to you, “You also have become weak, as we are; you have become like us.” 11 All your pomp has been brought down to the grave, along with the noise of your harps; maggots are spread out beneath you and worms cover you.

This is one scary scene from a horror movie, let’s call it “A royal welcome for the damned”.

12 How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! 13 You said in your heart, “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon. 14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.” 15 But you are brought down to the realm of the dead, to the depths of the pit.


Amazing how we can simply gloss over some of the verses in the Bible. In Revelation it says that when the Manchild is raptured to the heaven there is no longer place found for Satan and his angels and he is cast to the Earth. Well here we see all of these fallen angels on Earth, and those who died and are eternally damned are roused from the dead to greet them! Fallen angels and Zombies all in one chapter, what an incredible horror film.

16 Those who see you stare at you, they ponder your fate: “Is this the man who shook the earth and made kingdoms tremble, 17 the man who made the world a wilderness, who overthrew its cities and would not let his captives go home?” 18 All the kings of the nations lie in state, each in his own tomb. 19 But you are cast out of your tomb like a rejected branch; you are covered with the slain, with those pierced by the sword, those who descend to the stones of the pit. Like a corpse trampled underfoot, 20 you will not join them in burial, for you have destroyed your land and killed your people. Let the offspring of the wicked never be mentioned again.

Wow, what a cursed group. They aren’t even allowed to share the same cemetery with the rest of the dead. I suppose we’ll see Stalin and Hitler and of course Michael Jackson at the front leading them in dance.

21 Prepare a place to slaughter his children for the sins of their ancestors; they are not to rise to inherit the land and cover the earth with their cities. 22 “I will rise up against them,” declares the Lord Almighty. “I will wipe out Babylon’s name and survivors, her offspring and descendants,” declares the Lord. 23 “I will turn her into a place for owls and into swampland; I will sweep her with the broom of destruction,” declares the Lord Almighty. 24 The Lord Almighty has sworn, “Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will happen.

This judgement will be intense. The rapture is a judgement of those who have fought the good fight and have kept the faith. This group has a different judgement. At the time of Hitler they wanted to separate out the Jews from the Nazis. Today they are separating out the vaccinated from the unvaccinated. Eventually the only ones who will refuse to get the mark of the beast under pain of death will be believers. This is Satan and his minions saying we don’t want a single believer in our midst. Well here we see that as you have judged it will be done unto you. Here we see the promise that God is going to sweep up everyone of these foul, loathsome, evil creatures whether fallen angel, demon, or man and send them to the pit of hell. This is the purpose of the Great tribulation, think of it as an industrial process designed to purify mankind of all the evil and wicked people who follow and attach themselves to Satan.

25 I will crush the Assyrian in my land; on my mountains I will trample him down. His yoke will be taken from my people, and his burden removed from their shoulders.” 26 This is the plan determined for the whole world; this is the hand stretched out over all nations. 27 For the Lord Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart him? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?

I definitely don’t believe that this judgement is for the majority of mankind. I believe it is for Satan, the fallen angels, and anyone throughout history that has “sold their soul to the devil”. I suspect it will be the 1%, the elites, the ones who rule the worldly system as kings and leaders.

Ezekiel 21:15 In order that the heart may melt, and the stumbling-blocks be multiplied, I have set the threatening sword against all their gates: ah! it is made glittering, it is whetted for the slaughter.

1John 4:1-18 -- How do we recognize the antichrist?

1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

If you acknowledge that Jesus was sent to us from God as the incarnated word, then you are acknowledging that the Bible is the word of God. On the other hand if you say that the Bible is out of date, it was written thousands of years ago and no longer applies, then you are not acknowledging that Jesus is from God who is the same yesterday, today and forever.

4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 5 They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.

There is a spirit in the world that speaks from themselves, they tell you that the Bible is not relevant, and you should listen to them. Many people listen to this. Those of us who are of God speak from the word of God, we acknowledge that Jesus is Lord and therefore we must obey everything He told us. Whoever knows God listens to that, whoever is not from God does not listen to that.

7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

So then, what is it that Jesus tells us to do that they tell us you don’t need to listen to? First and foremost it is to love one another even as Jesus loved us. If someone lies, or cheats, or steals, or betrays others, or acts deceitfully that is not love. Do not be deceived by what they say, look at what they do. Why do they call 75 million Americans deplorable and irredeemable? Why does Biden call them “chumps”? If they loved one another they would care about the concerns of these 75 million, but if they are liars and cheats they can’t be concerned because they are going to expose them. Therefore they say we don’t need to listen to them, they call them racists, xenophobic, homophobic, any excuse in the book to not listen to them.

9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.


Many want to know how to recognize the antichrist. What seems much more important to me is how to recognize God, and more importantly how to recognize God being lived out in the believers. I may not know all prophecies or all mysteries, but I do know if someone loves me or doesn’t. If you appreciated that you would know that people who love you have your back, they are trying to protect you from harm. Ignore them at your peril.

13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.

Here are three things. God’s word is living to us, it is a lamp to our path, that is we have His Spirit. The antichrist will be speaking gibberish, platitudes, cliches, anything but the living word of God. We have revelation, we have seen, and we have a testimony of God the Father sending His son to our savior and to be the savior of the world. Even if you think you haven’t had a revelation, there are many who are speaking the word of God who have seen and are testifying. These are three things that God has given to us so that we can know God and so that we can live in Him and that He also will be happy living in us.

15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.

Paul said that whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. When you say that Jesus is Lord you acknowledge that Jesus is the son of God. The spirit of antichrist does not acknowledge that Jesus is Lord. They exalt their words and their commands over His. This is the most important revelation, Jesus is the Son of God. If you have seen that you do have a revelation and if you testify of that then you are living in God and He in you.

16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.

You cannot skip the first fifteen verses and jump down to this one. You cannot claim that you are living in love while refusing to acknowledge that Jesus is Lord. You cannot truly have the revelation that God is love if you don’t have the Spirit shining on God’s word and if you don’t have a testimony of being saved by Jesus.

17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus.


The world claims that “God is love” is contrary to the day of judgement. How foolish is this? When you say that you deny this word here in John and thus you deny that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Denying the coming judgement is not love, you are making yourself out to be a liar who just wants others to listen to their words, another “antichrist”.

18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

The day of judgement is like a big exam. If you have prepared for the exam there is no need to fear it, the only one who would fear the day of judgement is one who has not been made perfect in love. So the world’s claim that God being love means there is no day of judgement indicates they fear the day of judgement and thus their claim to be one with us in loving others is deceitful.
