3 Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.

I find this verse amazing, because think of what it is saying, if you wake up at the end of the age then you will know at what time the Lord will come to us. There are Christians all over the world, how could this be? But this is what is happening, as soon as Christians begin to wake up they begin to search out the internet and the Bible and very quickly they will come in contact with other Christians who are awake and very soon you will be clued in. It isn't hard, you read the comments during a live feed and people will refer to other sites, soon you find someone like Ken Potter who invites a whole variety of different watchmen. You can go to his site and go through all his videos so even if you came to the party late you can catch up pretty quickly. Likewise, many of these others will refer to the various teachers that have helped them. You could wake up on a Monday and by the next Monday you have found 20+ sites that are focused on the Lord's coming.

I don't think there is another time in the last 2,000 years where this prophecy could have been fulfilled. True, if you lived in London or NYC and were near a very good library it would have been similar, but today all you need is a connection to the internet, you can be in Indonesia or Senegal or Mauritania, doesn't matter.

Open your eyes and you will see the spirit of Antichrist


Invictus means unconquered. It is a reference to a poem that says "I am the captain of my soul" indicating that this person refuses to receive Jesus as Lord.

The use of I Am is also rebellion against God who is the I am.

322 is the number for the Skull and Bones society and that is repeated twice.

The imagery is of ten black birds being released by the bombs indicating the ten kings that rule with the Antichrist.

Obama gives a threatening word -- be careful what you wish for, followed by one guy dropping a bomb and the other two soldiers turning into zombies.

Today we heard that bombs were dropped in Russia.

Also the movie "2,000 Mules" premiers today, this movie represents evidence that the 2020 election was stolen beyond any reasonable doubt. This threatens Obama and we can anticipate that he will burn down the world rather than give up power.

Ramadan just ended and the evening of the sixth of May is the 74th birthday of Israel. Because this is on the Sabbath they will celebrate this on Thursday, May 4th.

A couple of interesting coincidences here

1. The blood moon this month will be located coming out of the womb of Virgo, just like a child being born.

2. This coincides with the 74th birthday of Israel.

3. It also coincides with the 2nd Passover.

As believers we don't believe in coincidences, we believe in God.

2000 Mules

Saw the movie -- this reminds me of Esther holding a party for the King and Haman. I was in the first showing in Sioux Falls and it was completely sold out.

In the movie there is Geotracking evidence where they looked at just 5% of the country, focusing on the key swing states in the 2020 election. They put little pins on each drop box for ballots and then sorted for cell phones that visited at least 10 drop boxes. They then identified Non Profit organizations that these mules were also going to (the theory is they pick up filled out ballots at the non profit and then take them to the drop box). So they sifted out and only looked at those who went from the non profit to the drop box and did this over ten times. They found 2,000 mules doing this. In addition many of the drop boxes were under video surveillance so they were able to match video with these mules. The mules would wear rubber gloves, stuff a number of ballots into the box and then take a picture of the box (presumably as evidence they dropped off the ballots so they could be paid).

They were able to then identify these mules and about a third of them were involved in Antifa riots, many had felony records, and they were also able to identify the non profit organizations and get an idea of their prevailing ideology. The movie Rigged went into the funding of these organizations by Zuckerberg, Soros and others.

They were able to estimate the number of illegal ballots and it was more than enough to swing the election for Biden.

They also talked to several whistleblowers talking about how the ballots are gathered, how much they are paid, and how the process works.

Everyone can have their own opinion, but you don't get to have your own facts.

1. This was systematic fraud on a grand, national scale that was more than enough to change the outcome of the election. That is the fact.

2. It is not possible to argue that this fraud was on behalf of Trump as the cities in which this fraud was tracked in this movie all had overwhelming majorities voting for Biden with the drop box ballots. It is not reasonable to think that whoever was doing this was voting for both candidates and there weren't enough drop box ballots for Trump for them to have voted for Trump.

3. If we do not have election integrity then we no longer have a democracy, instead we have a cartel running the country with the pretense of a democracy. Although the amount of money spent through these non profits came to $1.6 billion it is easy to see with $9 Trillion in government spending that these "donors" can be paid back several times over. Therefore it is absurd to think this is a one time event. Either we clean it up or the crooks will run the country and rob every single dollar from our government.

4. This movie is being played in every state. One can expect the two showings this week will have millions seeing this movie. It then will be streamed on the internet. You may be a Democrat, a Republican or an Independent. You may want to move on from the 2020 election, you may not even be convinced by the evidence. However, know this, the cry for investigations, trials, impeachment are going to be impossible to ignore or hold down any longer.

5. There were several candidates for various offices who passed out flyers after the movie. This movie gives the evidence that people need to take a bold stand and claim election fraud and they will make that claim. From now to November you will hear this everywhere.

6. If we had 7% growth in the economy and 1% inflation and no threat of war and human rights abuses at the border had been eliminated as promised then the majority of Americans might not care. But instead we have 8.4% inflation, the economy is shrinking by 1.4%, Russia is threatening to nuke Britain, and our border crisis is at least 5 times worse than it was. Recent polls show 70% of Americans blame Biden. He is the most unpopular president in history. His wife's book sold 250 copies! Hunter is going to be indicted, Durham is going to bring down Clinton, and no one listens to the mainstream media anymore. CNN+ got 10,000 subscribers (probably government agencies, intelligence agencies, and news organizations worldwide). They have 0 influence on what people think. MSNBC ratings are down dramatically. If you are not listening to Steve Bannon you are missing the highest rated news cast worldwide. If you are not listening to Tucker Carlson you are missing the highest rated news cast in the US. Rachel Maddow is gone. Joy Reid has imploded. Morning Joe is only watched by elites in the beltway. Zuckerberg has lost 50% of his net worth. Twitter is in the hands of Elon Musk. Rumble, Gettr, Gab, and Truth Social are all in the process of replacing these. Disney has also been exposed and will go the way of Netflix. You need to wake up. If you are not paying attention to what is going on you are sitting on an iceberg that has been melting. perhaps at one point you represented 57% of the consensus, now it is much closer to 20%.

Once again, this is not about any one political party, it is about the integrity of the US election. Yes, I do believe this has a lot to do with the rapture. Anyone who has read a good portion of my posts on this blog would understand that.

Romans 11:1-10 Let their banquet table become a snare and a trap

1 I ask then: Has God totally rejected and disowned His people? Of course not! Why, I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin!

Paul was preaching the gospel to the gentiles, he was teaching that the cross of Christ was the real circumcision, and that the things that happened in the Old Testament were types and shadows for us today. All of that is true and yet God has a covenant with the Jews and that has not been annulled.

2 No, God has not rejected and disowned His people [whose destiny] He had marked out and appointed and foreknown from the beginning. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel? 3 Lord, they have killed Your prophets; they have demolished Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.
4 But what is God’s reply to him? I have kept for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal!

The same is true today. We can itemize every point of the apostasy that the Catholic church is now teaching and yet the Lord has reserved some in the Catholic church that have not known the deep things of Satan. There are many denominations that have a name that they are alive and yet are dead, that doesn’t annul the fact that there are some in those denominations that will walk in white with the Lord.

5 So too at the present time there is a remnant, selected by grace. 6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer conditioned on works or anything men have done. Otherwise, grace would no longer be grace [it would be meaningless].

Now this is a difficult point to understand, kind of like calculus. To every church in Revelation the Lord begins by talking about their works and commending them for their works but then He goes on to point out the issues that He does have. Fundamentally I would say the issue is they have left their first love. Once you do that other issues come in, self righteousness, tolerating evil, and ultimately practicing evil. James says that faith without works is dead. However, what happens in religion is they have good works without faith. The Bible describes those as “filthy rags”. It is like a mop filled with blood that is simply smearing the blood all around. You aren’t cleaning up anything. We see this in all these Christian ministries that tolerate sin. They are filled with sin, they never dealt with the sin, but they think their good works will save them so they are preaching a gospel that says it is OK to be filled with sin as long as you also do some vain hat tip to the Lord. We really see this fully expressed with the Jews. They will be very strict in how they keep the Passover and yet they will also tell you that they don’t believe in God. It is like an egg. The inside of the egg is faith, the shell are these religious practices. They lost the chicken a long time ago and yet they are still holding onto the shell.

7 What then? Israel failed to obtain what it sought. Only the elect obtained it, while the rest of them became callously indifferent. 8 As it is written, God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that should not see and ears that should not hear, down to this very day. 9 And David says, Let their table become a snare and a trap, a pitfall and a just retribution rebounding like a boomerang upon them];
10 Let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see, and make them bend their back forever.

No one can deny that Israel really did seek to obtain God’s favor. Their rabbi’s have done a very diligent and scholarly work attempting to answer every obscure and even trivial question. But what has happened, the banquet table has become a snare to them! There is an unwritten yet understood rule in “polite society”. You do not preach righteousness at their banquets. If you are a “Jesus freak” you will not be invited to the parties, banquets and all the different events of the “beautiful people”. It is a subtle “cancel culture” at work. What we are seeing today with “cancel culture” is the full blown blossoming of this. Facebook is like the banquet table for the unwashed masses. What are we seeing, they are enforcing this “unwritten rule” you cannot say anything that the hosts disagree with. You thought it was “your” facebook page but you are sadly mistaken, it is Zuckerberg’s Facebook and all those who agree with Zuckerberg agree that he has the right to censor anyone he wishes for anything he doesn’t like. Now we are seeing that “cancel culture” is like a rebounding boomerang that is taking them out as well. It is as though they have bouncers at their parties and if there aren’t any Christians to throw out then they’ll throw out whoever is closest to the door. As a result we see that they are blind to what true justice is. One minute they say that you need to believe all women when one woman brings in allegations over 20 years old that cannot be substantiated. Yet when ten women bring in allegations against Cuomo that can be substantiated and are current, they try to ignore them. They justify abortion because it is a woman’s body, she has the right to decide what she wants to do and not do with her own body. Yet they then demand that everyone get vaccinated regardless and that anyone who refuses be excluded from “polite society”. They are outraged that Trump might be guilty of nepotism and yet ignore the very obvious nepotism in Biden’s administration. They take two years to investigate Trump for criminality and when the investigation reveals that Hillary Clinton and Obama’s FISA courts were the guilty ones they ignore it. They impeach Trump over his request to investigate corruption by Hunter Biden and yet ignore the evidence of the corruption by Hunter Biden. They were screaming about collusion with Russia but when it turns out it was the Biden crime family, Clinton crime family and Kerry crime family that were colluding they are silent. They tolerate the crooks robbing them blind so it is righteous judgement that they will serve these crooks forever.

Romans 11:11-18 The Cancel culture

11 So I ask, Have they stumbled so as to fall? By no means! But through their false step and transgression salvation [has come] to the Gentiles, so as to arouse Israel and so to make them jealous.

People went along with Cancel culture for years. There is no way that Bill Maher went to various parties without being complicit. Yet when they see the boomerang hitting others it wakes them up. They thought they were a champion for free speech and independent thought but one day they realize they are blind and bending the back for robbers. This process is fully described in the book “The Help”. A few women were abusive racists, lying and slandering others. Most just went along to get along not wanting to be shunned from “polite society”. A few people were outcasts and they could thumb their nose at “polite society”. The blacks were “the help” and they got an inside view of all of this. Yes, the homes were nicer for the “polite society” but the friends, the neighbors, the society, even the food was better for the blacks.

12 Now if their stumbling has so enriched the world, and if failure means such riches for the Gentiles, think what an enrichment and greater advantage will follow their full reinstatement!

This is the point of the chapter, they went down a path that leads to hell. When they get reinstated they also will provide us with an inside look at hell, like spies. The Bible says we are not ignorant of Satan’s devices. Why is that? Because each of us has been a victim of some of these devices. Look at those who are fighting for election integrity. They were slandered, did that bother them? No, they expected that. In fact they laugh as they see the Democrats meltdown, they know this is the expression of a guilty person who has been caught.

13 But now I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I lay great stress on my ministry and magnify my office, 14 In the hope of making my fellow Jews jealous, and thus managing to save some of them.

There is more than one way to skin a cat. Paul knew that having a vibrant ministry that is bringing in a change to the world would stir someone like himself to jealousy. Why was he so zealous to ride around the country locking up Christians, was he jealous? If so that jealousy was instrumental in his salvation. I was trained in lifesaving (to be a lifeguard). If a person is drowning very often they are fighting and thrashing about. You can use that to save them. You get close enough that they try and lunge at you and then you keep backing up. If you do that they may just swim into shore without you even touching them. Think about what a great lesson this is, two thousand years ago the Jews were the "polite society" and the Christians were the deplorable outcasts. However, we are looking at a reversal of fortunes now at the end of the age. Likewise AntiChrist's kingdom will threaten Evangelicals, receive their kingdom or be outcasts. My feeling is if they want to kick you out of their society then go, you will have better results preaching the gospel elsewhere.

15 For if their rejection and exclusion from the benefits of salvation were [overruled] for the reconciliation of a world to God, what will their acceptance and admission mean? life from the dead!

Wow, this is the flip side of “cancel culture”. If you cancel the Lord and His people what you have actually done is to reject and exclude yourself from the benefits of salvation. When I read the book “The Help” I see two different groups, one is toxic and the other is loving. The toxic group by excluding the others has wound up excluding themselves.

16 Now if the first handful of dough offered as the firstfruits [Abraham and the patriarchs] is consecrated, so is the whole mass [the nation of Israel]; and if the root [Abraham] is consecrated, so are the branches.


This idea that all whites are racist because of what some whites did in the past is false. The book the Help was based on Jackson Ms in the 1950s. I was there in Jackson in the 1950s (just a baby). That doesn’t make me “toxic”. I have patriarchs that are holy, my uncle had his house bombed by the KKK because he was operating a charity to help black churches that had been bombed. There is a toxic culture, a toxic teaching, but it isn’t from the patriarchs in the Bible. You have a choice, identify with Jesus, and the apostles, or else identify with fallen man. The teaching of the apostles is a handful of dough that is holy. If that is the bread you are eating then you also will be holy. The word of God is the root of God’s people, if you are attached to that root then you also will be holy.

17 But if some of the branches were broken off, while you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among them to share the richness [of the root and sap] of the olive tree, 18 Do not boast over the branches and pride yourself at their expense. If you do boast and feel superior, remember it is not you that support the root, but the root you.

This pride and feeling superior is the first step towards self righteousness. This is what the Lord meant when He said that the church in Ephesus had left their first love. To be broken off from the tree is what the Lord meant when He said that if you don’t repent He will take away your lampstand.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/20...-vaccine-40-times-higher-previously-recorded/

German Study: Number of Those Suffering Severe Complications After Taking COVID Vaccine Is 40 Times Higher Than Previously Recorded

Numbers 21:7 And the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, because we have spoken against Jehovah, and against thee; pray unto Jehovah, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. 8 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a standard: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he seeth it, shall live. 9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it upon the standard: and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked unto the serpent of brass, he lived.

Moses Lifted up the bronze serpent in the wilderness and those that saw it were healed from the serpent bites. Jesus was lifted up on the cross and those that saw it were healed. Now, if this is also a type of the "lifting up" or rapture of the church and seeing that heals those in the apostasy who were murmuring against the manna (word of God).

Now if that is the case this gives us a very clear idea of "when" the rapture is. It doesn't necessarily give you a date unless you figure the first fulfillment was when Jesus was lifted up on the cross on Passover and the second fulfillment would be when the church is lifted up (on 2nd Passover?). But what it very clearly does say is that everyone is bitten by these serpents, they then see that they are all going to die, so they ask Moses for prayers, and that is when the bronze serpent is lifted up.

If the "vaccine" is the serpents biting everyone then it will not be till everyone realizes this is a deadly shot that they repent, turn, and see the rapture. This is why I have included this news story because you can see that people are examining the data -- you have researchers, you have people like Naomi Wolf, and you have actuaries from Life Insurance companies all going over this. It will be days when these studies make it to the front page of major news outlets worldwide. It will also be days till the 2nd Passover which coincidentally is a blood moon/solar eclipse. This is also when I Pet Goat seems to suggest a Islamic Jihad war breaks out with nuclear bombs.

Liyar = Blossom

Liyar is the 2nd month on the Jewish calendar after Nisan.

Song of Solomon 2:13 The fig-tree ripeneth her green figs, And the vines are in blossom; They give forth their fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

It is the month that the vines are in blossom.

Exodus 25:33 three cups made like almond-blossoms in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three cups made like almond-blossoms in the other branch, a knop and a flower: so for the six branches going out of the candlestick:

The Lampstand is covered in blossoms.

Genesis 40:10 and in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and its blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:

In the butlers dream the blossom indicated he would be raised out of prison and restored.

Song of Solomon 2:15 Take us the foxes, the little foxes, That spoil the vineyards; For our vineyards are in blossom.

This is the month that the Lord grabs the foxes that are spoiling the vineyard.

Ezekiel 7:10 Behold, the day, behold, it cometh: thy doom is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.

Commentators interpret this verse referring to Nebuchadnezzar, the Assyrian and a type of the AntiChrist.

Romans 11:25-36 The ingathering of the Gentiles

25 Lest you be self-opinionated (wise in your own conceits), I do not want you to miss this hidden truth and mystery, brethren: a hardening (insensibility) has [temporarily] befallen a part of Israel [to last] until the full number of the ingathering of the Gentiles has come in, 26 And so all Israel will be saved. As it is written, The Deliverer will come from Zion, He will banish ungodliness from Jacob.

“Until the full number of the ingathering of the Gentiles has come in”. This is the harvest at the end of the age. We are likened to “wheat” but there is a spring wheat and a summer wheat. There are several harvests and the final one is referred to as the “ingathering”. The first one is celebrated with the Festival of Firstfruits. This is a hidden truth. Very easy for Christians to be wise in their own conceits saying they are going to heaven. Don’t miss this point about God banishing ungodliness. Once again the way God banishes ungodliness is by filling us with Himself so there is no room for ungodliness, filling us with faith, filling us with His word.

27 And this will be My covenant (My agreement) with them when I shall take away their sins. 28 From the point of view of the Gospel (good news), they [the Jews, at present] are enemies [of God], which is for your advantage and benefit. But from the point of view of God’s choice (of election, of divine selection), they are still the beloved (dear to Him) for the sake of their forefathers. 29 For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.] 30 Just as you were once disobedient and rebellious toward God but now have obtained [His] mercy, through their disobedience, 31 So they also now are being disobedient [when you are receiving mercy], that they in turn may one day, through the mercy you are enjoying, also receive mercy [that they may share the mercy which has been shown to you—through you as messengers of the Gospel to them].

This is something we can empathize with. We were once dead in our offences and sins, then we saw the Lord, confessed and repented. They will follow the same path.

32 For God has consigned (penned up) all men to disobedience, only that He may have mercy on them all [alike].

For eternity we will all be alike in that we all received mercy from God.

33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unfathomable (inscrutable, unsearchable) are His judgments (His decisions)! And how untraceable (mysterious, undiscoverable) are His ways (His methods, His paths)!

Isn’t this great! He started the chapter worried about God annulling His covenant and cutting off His people forever only to realize that God’s plan of salvation is based on His showing mercy to every one of us alike. If you are worried that you may not be raptured, remember God is glorified in showing mercy. He showed you mercy, so you in turn show others mercy. You want God to show you mercy, right? Well the Lord’s commandment to do unto others as you would have them do to you then commands you to show others mercy.

34 For who has known the mind of the Lord and who has understood His thoughts, or who has [ever] been His counselor? 35 Or who has first given God anything that he might be paid back or that he could claim a recompense? 36 For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. [For all things originate with Him and come from Him; all things live through Him, and all things center in and tend to consummate and to end in Him.] To Him be glory forever! Amen (so be it).

When you see this it is truly wonderful. Every single person has value and a purpose. They are like little precious stones. You might have to clean them up a little, but when you do you will discover emeralds, sapphires, and all manner of precious stones.
