Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

This attack is on the Free world

I decided that I was not happy with the interpretation given concerning this latest dream from Dana Coverstone, so I have done my own.

Distraction Dream




I think it is essential to look at everything through the filter of “distraction”. The dream is about an attack on the Free world, everything else is a coordinated distraction.

1. Large passenger plane — flying high, briskly, at 35,000 feet. This was the US just a few years ago, flying along like everything is hunky dory. However, Dana is clear to say that this is not an American plane but rather a plane with an American flag. To me this represents the free world with the US as the leader of the free world.

2. The plane began a slight descent — normal angle, nose up. Perhaps this is the response to the Pandemic when Trump was still in office. Again, the entire free world made this response.

3. Large layer of churning clouds below. This is the rest of the world. The free world is flying oblivious to the situation in the rest of the world that is churning (primarily China and Russia).

4. At this time we had some watchmen begin to sound the alarm and yet those in the “American” flag plane are oblivious, unworried, distracted. In this dream everyone is distracted, those on the plane, even those in Chinese and Russian strategy meetings. The only two who are not distracted are Putin and Xi.

5. Then suddenly the plane did a complete nose dive. We had a stolen election, Jan 6th, shutdown of our oil pipelines, opening of our border, catastrophe in Afghanistan, and worldwide inflation. In other words “the plane headed straight down” and the people on board made no changes in their activity. The plane is headed for “an explosive end” and yet the people just keep doing what they are doing — this is where we are right now.

6. At this point naval ships surround Taiwan — that is the military exercise the China just ran the last two weeks. This was part of Chinese strategy and this strategy is all about distraction. It looks like the Target is Taiwan but that is the distraction, the dream ends with the US being the target. The rebuke is not to Taiwan but to those flying in the airplane with the US flag being distracted and not praying.

7. He sees the Chinese leaders sitting near a red button with angry rhetoric and hollering. Again, a distraction over nuclear war.

8. What really stands out in this dream is the rocking chair from Cracker barrel that does not belong in China or Russia. I don’t think that Xi or Putin should be seen in a rocking chair, the only world leader that would make sense for is Biden. That I think is the point. Biden does not belong. He is old, he is out of touch, he is illegitimate. He is being manipulated by both Putin and Xi.

9. The picnic lunch of the Russians outside the church to me refers to the invasion of Ukraine. In this picture the empty wine bottles depict spilled blood the generals are drunk on this blood, but Putin has not drunk it, rather something is causing him distress. Meanwhile he is calm, focused, and connected by phone with the Chinese leader.

10. Putin is calmly looking at his cell phone that is connected to the Chinese leader while he also is in that rocking chair. Everything is a distraction, the big message has not yet been sent, but it will be sent by both Russia and China to the US. This dream is focused on 4 powers: The US, China, Russia and Europe. China and Russia are working in coordination while manipulating or “rocking” Joe Biden. Rocking chairs are associated with putting babies to sleep.

11.The scene switches to Taiwan to discuss how to help Taiwan after being surrounded. That is what is happening currently in Taiwan. Europe lets US and UK handle the crisis. Remember, UK is the mother of harlots and the US is the Great Babylon. The world is going to hate her and burn her with fire. So then it is not clear, is this simply a distraction to put all the onus for what happens on the US and UK? Or is this revealing Europe’s lack of responsibility and accountability? It is probably both, the globalists know that the biggest hinderance to their plans is the US and UK, meanwhile the people in Europe are probably every bit as distracted as those in the US. Remember he makes it clear it is not an American plane but rather a plane with a US flag on it. So then it could represent the free world with US being the “leader of the free world” is the plane that is crashing. The leaders wipe sweat off their brow because they realize this is a pretty serious situation. The threat is very serious to the free world, if they lose Taiwan they lose their role as the leader of the free world. These are the ones flying that plane which is taking a nosedive.

12. There is a split screen and the leaders hit send at the same time. This is clearly a synchronized strike. Both leaders have been playing Biden (the rocking chair) in a synchronized fashion. He then sees large rain of bombs on Ukraine. We also see missile silos in Europe are opened but no missiles coming out, just smoke. Is this some kind of cyber attack? Does the smoke indicate a fire of some kind of attack that disabled them? We also see China launch a missile that explodes directly over the center of the US causing the power to go out on that plane. If the plane represents the free world and the power went out it could also be the same thing as seeing the missile silos open, smoke coming out but no missiles, the power has gone out.

In other words Russia was playing the West with their attack on Ukraine using it to make the west think they were weak and could be defeated so that the west and Biden would openly fight against Russia. This gives Russia the justification to strike NATO. Likewise China with Taiwan. Once the US no longer states that Taiwan is part of China they gave China the justification to attack the US. Biden is acting and doing what they want, just as the rocking chair is doing what they want. They wanted Biden to openly call for removing Putin, to openly fund Ukraine and to help in sinking their ships. The only way they can become the new world power is to take out the US and they needed this justification.

This event causes absolute panic on the plane waking everyone up. Obviously it looks exactly like an EMP but whatever it is doesn’t matter. The event causes absolute panic to the free world, it wakes them up, all of their distractions are now turned off. Interpret it any way you want but whatever your interpretation it must result in all the power and devices and distractions being shut off and the entire world waking up in an absolute panic.

The Lord Jesus “I told them to pray, they did not, they need to take it seriously now”. When did the Lord tell us to pray?

Luke 6:28 bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you.

Have we been doing that? No, cancel culture is where you cancel others rather than bless them.

Luke 10:2 And he said unto them, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the laborers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest.

Have you been praying for the Lord to send laborers into the harvest? Have you noticed how big the harvest is right now?

Luke 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint;

This is the parable about the unrighteous judge and the widow that prays continually that she be avenged of her adversary. Stop the Steal rally has been doing this, election audits have been doing this, but many Christians argue that it is not for Christians to disturb the unrighteous judge.

Luke 22:40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

If they had done this then maybe they would not have been distracted with all their phones, internet and other distractions.

Proverbs 27:14-27 Contrasting those who do not care about the state of their flocks with those that do.

14 The flatterer who loudly praises and glorifies his neighbor, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted as cursing him.

Fauci loudly praised Cuomo’s handling of the Covid crisis in NY. Now we suspect him of having sinister purposes. By following the guidelines NY had the worst outcome and that caused the pandemic to appear much worse than it otherwise might have and it prompted a call to shut down the entire US economy long before it might have been necessary. Many now think this was contrived to undermine Trump’s reelection.

15 A continual dripping on a day of violent showers and a contentious woman are alike;

Maxine Waters is a contentious woman. Stacy Abrams is a contentious woman. They are like a continual dripping.

16 Whoever attempts to restrain might as well try to stop the wind—his right hand encounters oil.

They refuse to be accountable for all the evil they have stirred up and caused.

17 Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.

This is why we need the fellowship. Steve Bannon’s war room is all about being a force multiplier, sharpening the countenance of all those who are listening so they could take action. The show is about equipping people with the facts.

18 Whoever tends the fig tree shall eat its fruit; so he who patiently and faithfully guards and heeds his master shall be honored.

Jesus is our master, make sure that when He returns you are patiently and faithfully guarding the fig tree.

19 As in water face answers to and reflects face, so the heart of man to man.

Speak from the heart and your passion will be reflected in the hearts of others. Psalms says “deep calleth unto deep”.

20 Sheol (the place of the dead) and Abaddon (the place of destruction) are never satisfied; so [the lust of] the eyes of man is never satisfied.

Misery loves company. Recently I have seen the testimony of Donald Marshall Revolution. I have no way to confirm or deny the truth of that testimony, however it does confirm that Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied.

21 As the refining pot for silver and the furnace for gold, so let a man be in his trial of praise.

So once again we return to where we started. The best praise comes out of this refining pot. All the insults, accusations and even threats towards Bannon were like the refining pot for silver. One thing about Bannon I really appreciate, he won’t let any guest go beyond what the evidence is. He pushes back, he challenges them to provide the “receipts”. He isn’t interested in yes men, he is interested in those who move the case forward with the evidence.

22 Even though like grain you should pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.

This is why the day of evil approaches, to pound the fools in a mortar with a pestle. Who knows, maybe some will repent. The Lord told us to pray for these leaders, have we?

23 Be diligent to know the state of your flocks, and look well to your herds; 24 For riches are not forever; does a crown endure to all generations?

This is the biggest complaint about Biden and Harris, they do not appear to have any concern about the state of their flocks. I heard one woman suffering from this open border saying “I am a democrat but I have learned my lesson”. But what is far more important to me and you is our judgement, not Biden's.

25 When the hay is gone, the tender grass shows itself, and herbs of the mountain are gathered in, 26 The lambs will be for your clothing, and the goats the price of a field. 27 And there will be goats’ milk enough for your food, for the food of your household, and for the maintenance of your maids.

The rapture is the gathering in of the grass, wheat is a grass. Be at peace the Lord has all things prepared for us at this time.

This is stunning -- The Lord will judge this!

If Biden splits Israel then God will split the US.

Simple method

1. Things Jesus Did

2. What Jesus said

3. What others said about Jesus -- those that knew Jesus were aware that He was overwhelmingly greater than all others, they knew He was divine. Pharisees and Sadducees never said he was a fake.

John 14:1-14 -- That where I am there ye may be also

14 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. 8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? 10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.

These verses are mind blowing. In the back of my mind there has always been this question, the end of the age the AntiChrist, the beast and the false prophet are in a pitched battle to establish their kingdom as a counterfeit to the Lord's kingdom, if that is the case why is the Lord rapturing all these saints right before the battle? Also, why do you leave the sleeping church here while taking those raptured saints? If this were a football game you are pulling the first string right as the game begins and leaving the bench players. As long as we are asking those questions, why does the Lord leave at the beginning of an age where He is bringing in His kingdom?

The Lord tells us here He is going to the Father and we need to believe that He is in the Father and the Father is in Him. The other option is to believe for the works sake. In this second option He tells us that we will do the works that He did and that whatever we ask of Him in His name He will do. If we ask anything in His name He will do it.

Consider what He is saying, for a few years He was on Earth and demonstrated all of the works He did, just like the prototype of some invention. It is like seeing an amazing new computer that can do all kinds of things. Now we learn it wasn't the computer, it was the software. Think of God the Father as the mainframe and Jesus as the software, and we are PC's that can plug into "the cloud". If we access this "cloud computer" using the name of Jesus everything we saw demonstrated by Jesus can be done by Him through us. That is a pretty awesome view of the last two thousand years, but there is more.

He has gone "to prepare a place for us" and in the Father's house "there are many abodes". When the saints are raptured Jesus receives us unto Himself that where He is we may be also! So where is He? He is in the "cloud" fully connected to all the believers. For two thousand years we were trained to be one with Him in our Spirit, well the next step is to be with Him where He is still being one with Him in the Spirit. It seems to me that this promise to do anything that you ask in my name will become intensified. It is like the Lord coming in the clouds with a whole host of His saints following behind Him as the calvary. The rapture does not remove the saints from the battle, it takes them to a higher level.

Now compare this to transhumanism. This was described in the TV show "the six million dollar man". They can replace your body parts with "better" and "stronger" parts. They can put soldiers into robotic shells so that they can carry six hundred pounds of gear and travel at 20 mph and do that all day without getting tired. They are mingling the use of AI to make us smarter, and even integrating the human brain with computer brains. In actuality robots can replace many of the jobs that people do today. All the computer needs is lots and lots of data. For example we have pilots flying drones remotely. Every single flight provides the AI data with which the AI can learn to fly. After a decade of data the AI can fly the drones better than the humans. They can drive the vehicles, fly the planes, build the cars, respond to orders on the internet to package, load, and ship products to people. 3 D printers allow a computer to build products with less manpower. They even have 3 d printers that make houses. Transhumanism is a counterfeit to what the Lord is doing. But transhumanism is also Satan's poor imitation of what the Lord is doing.

Biggest global power grab in our lifetimes

Does that sound like the coming of the AntiChrist? Is the WHO the eminence front? Can people get fooled again? I can't explain!

1Corinthians 11:23 -- 34 Do this in remembrance of Me.

1Corinthians 11:23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

Keeping the Lord’s table is how we remember the Lord, it is how we proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes. Many have talked about the Old Covenant festival of trumpets being a holy convocation for the Messiah’s wedding. But in the New Covenant our holy convocation of the wedding is the Lord’s table. We have also talked about how the festival of Trumpets was proclaiming the coronation of the king, but when we proclaim the Lord’s death we are sounding the trumpet of the Lord’s victory over death, that He is the conquering king who ascended to the throne. We are counting to the day the Lord comes by keeping the Lord's table, it is the New Testament version of the Passover feast.

Many people are confused by this whole get vaccinated or lose your job rule. What do you do? You proclaim the Lord's death until He comes. We have been teaching that the world is a condemned building and that the whole world lies in the evil one. This should not be a surprise.

27 So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. 29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. 31 But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment. 32 Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be finally condemned with the world.

Again, many of us have been talking about the Old Covenant’s day of Atonement which is a day of judgement. From the Festival of Trumpets you have ten days of awe to examine yourself. But the fulfillment of this in the New Testament is the Lord’s table. The Lord says that when He comes if He finds you feeding the children of God then He will say well done, but if you are out drinking with the world He will make your portion with the hypocrites.

We have been disciplined by the Lord in many ways, trained to live economically, eliminate sin from our lives, and to have some self respect. I explained to my son the difference between all these whiny protests and the Civil Rights movement in the 60s. Martin Luther King Jr. did not lead people to write letters of protest or to call their congressman. He said if the bus doesn't treat us with respect then we will walk. Even the elderly chose to walk several miles to and from work rather than ride the bus. Very quickly the bus company realized they would go broke without the blacks. That was self respect. When DeBlasio gave his mandate to teachers at the end of August 50% of teachers were not vaccinated. They should have all decided to walk out, instead the Union meeting was fully controlled and directed in a deceitful way to lead everyone to a feeling of helplessness. The worldly system includes the unions, the only union we need is the church. If 50% of NYC teachers had resigned on the first day of school DeBlasio's mandate would have collapsed. But they didn't have the spine or the self respect to do that. Think about that, you eat the Lord's table, His body and His blood which He willingly gave on Calvary and you don't have the spine to stand up to this pathetic vaccine mandate? You ate in an unworthy manner and you ate and drank judgement on yourself. The Lord's table indicates what you are made of. Are these cowards really composed of the risen Lord?

33 So then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, you should all eat together. 34 Anyone who is hungry should eat something at home, so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment. And when I come I will give further directions.

Yes, at the end of the age when the Lord comes there will be further directions.

1Corinthians 12 -- A more excellent way for Oneness and Diversity

1 Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. 2 You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols. 3 Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

There are two different messages: "Jesus be cursed" and "Jesus is Lord". Now the gifts of the Holy Spirit are not based on race, or ethnic background, or age or sex. It is based on whether or not you have the Holy Spirit. One message attempts to curse Jesus, the other proclaims that Jesus is Lord. When we talk about diversity of gifts we are not including those who are seeking to curse the Lord and His people. For too long Christians have been confused, thinking that being meek means we need to be one with everything and everyone. No, the Bible says “as much as is possible be at peace with all people”. The caveat is “if it is possible”. It is not possible to be at peace with someone who is seeking to curse you and the people of God.

4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. 7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

Would you let a wicked, evil person who desires to bring you harm take care of your kids? Would you let your kids sit in front of a TV and allow them to teach your kids? Yes, there is a great diversity of gifts, some people have a word of wisdom, some a word of knowledge, other have a word of faith and still others gifts of healing. There are those who get prophetic words, dreams and visions. What is common to all is that God is speaking to us through all these people. It is always the same Spirit. Mr. Roger's Neighborhood was an example of the diversity of gifts. But there are many other TV shows that are perverse and do not be so naive as to think that this only refers to the adult TV shows. Hollywood does not discern what is healthy for children, they would have never carried Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. Mr. Roger's Neighborhood was a TV show devoted to teaching children what it means to love your neighbor, that is not a message Hollywood tries to give.

Unity and Diversity in the Body

12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.

The Body is always dealing with foreign attacks on it. Viruses, bacteria, all kinds of things are coming into contact with the Body on a daily basis. We know that some of these things are trying to steal the word from us, just like the birds that eat the seeds sown. Some are trying to choke the word by censoring it, banning it, and ridiculing it. Some don’t want to receive the word because of hidden sins that make their heart stony. Think of the field as your elementary school and all the kids are there receiving the word. You cannot allow the birds to steal the word from them, the stony hearts of those who are teaching your kids to prevent the word from growing and the weeds from growing up to choke out the word in that school. If you want a successful crop you need to deal with the birds, the stones and the weeds.

15 Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18 But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

We are one because we all have the same Spirit, we are diverse in our expression of that Spirit which is expressed in our gifts. There has to be a balance between “diversity” and “oneness”. What many are doing is making the illusion of diversity the thing that is our fundamental oneness. It isn’t a diversity of gifts but a diversity of flesh. The flesh lusteth against the Spirit, they are requiring that everyone be one with those who are saying “Jesus be cursed”. We cannot be one with that, the Spirit wars against the flesh. This is the fact, you will never get peace and unity with the Holy Spirit and the Flesh.

21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” 22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

Cancel culture is when one part of society says to another “we don’t need you”. What we are seeing now is that one part of US society is saying “we don’t need you” to those who proclaim that “Jesus is Lord”. However, everyone who has the Spirit, who proclaims that “Jesus is Lord” cannot agree. Every member of our Body is indispensable. We cannot allow any member, especially the ones that seem less honorable, to be “cancelled”. I heard a very interesting interview with this Hollywood actress. She was very famous having been the star of a long running and highly rated TV show. She said that Hollywood was notorious for having an "anything goes" attitude regarding deviant behavior. But when they found out that she had voted for Trump they cancelled her. They have the illusion of diversity and inclusion, but that does not include conservatives or Christians. Rather they will include any form of the flesh but war against the Spirit.

27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. 28 And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? 31 Now eagerly desire the greater gifts.

Yes, every member is indispensable, but there is still an order, a headship in the body. We must all be one with the fellowship of the apostles. That is how you determine if the speaking is of the same Spirit or not. Perhaps we are not clear if the speaking is one with the fellowship of the apostles, what then? The fellowship of the prophets could help clear that up, teachers can help us, guidance, different tongues, etc. Every member can help us stay balanced and on the path that leads to life.

And yet I will show you the most excellent way.

The way that the church in Ephesus took is not “the most excellent way”. They discerned, examined and judged those who called themselves apostles and weren’t. That was certainly one way to do this, but it wasn’t excellent because they forsook their first love. Our first love is the savior who saved us from sin. Instead of loving the sinner and preaching the gospel of salvation they forsook their first love and became self righteous, judgmental, and sectarian. Jesus is the way, He is the more excellent way, and if we take this way we will express Him.

1Corinthians 14:1-20 -- "Brothers and Sisters, stop thinking like children"

This may be one of the most important and most misunderstood chapters in the entire Bible. Without a doubt those that attack Paul for being sexist support that claim almost exclusively on this chapter.

1 Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy.

This chapter tells believers how to meet, there is no other chapter in the Bible that gives such a clear picture of what a church meeting is supposed to be. First, follow the way of love. Jesus told us that if we love one another all will know that we are His disciples. That is the overriding principle. When faced with tough decisions for the congregation you should first make sure that you are following the way of love. In the previous chapter Paul has given us the way of love.

13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

This is the overriding principle for everything the church does. However, in this chapter we are told to also desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy. The word prophecy means to “speak for”, “speak forth” and “speak before”. It is not simply predicting, or speaking before something happens. A press secretary is considered a “prophet” in the Bible. They are speaking for someone, they are speaking forth something that is being pronounced, and in some cases they are speaking “before” something happens. The church, as the embassy of the Kingdom of Heaven, should be the Lord’s prophets.

2 For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit. 3 But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort. 4 Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves, but the one who prophesies edifies the church. 5 I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified.

It seems obvious reading this that tongues were an issue with the church meetings. First, tongues were not fulfilling the mission of the church as an embassy. You are here, in this city, representing God to the people. This meeting is for the Lord to speak to the people through His prophets. If the people don’t understand what you are saying, what is the point. The church is not some ridiculous secret society where people who visit have no idea what is going on. Therefore speaking a clear and intelligible word is greater than speaking in tongues unless someone also interprets. If you interpret the tongue so that people understand, then it is really no different than prophesying. But the way Paul says this it sounds like one person is speaking in tongues and another person is interpreting. Instead what I have seen is that people will speak in tongues, and then interpret what they just said. Why? Why not just tell us directly what God has said? What was the point of speaking something that no one understands first? You aren’t edifying the church that way, you are edifying yourself. Contrast that with the Dana Coverstone dreams. He doesn't interpret but when he is finished with the dream he has others step forward to interpret. This does look like the Biblically sound approach.

6 Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction?

Paul has had a tremendous impact on the church and the believers over the last 2,000 years. He also told us that he spoke in tongues more than us all. But that had nothing to do with the good he has been to us. It is the revelation, knowledge, prophecy and word of instruction that has built the church. So then Paul is an example of what he is saying, he is not asking us to do anything that he himself did not do. Take Paul as your example.

7 Even in the case of lifeless things that make sounds, such as the pipe or harp, how will anyone know what tune is being played unless there is a distinction in the notes? 8 Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle? 9 So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air.

Clear, intelligible words, that is the focus. If you play a clear tune we can all sing along. If you are sounding a clear alarm we can all react appropriately. If we have no idea what you are saying we will tune you out.

10 Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning. 11 If then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and the speaker is a foreigner to me.

The key principle is love and that means your meeting must be welcoming, inclusive. Making someone feel like a foreigner is not love.

12 So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to excel in those that build up the church.

By all means be eager for the gifts. All believers are. But try to excel at building up the church. It is hard, you have to work at it, but that is what Paul is encouraging you to do. Don’t give up.

13 For this reason the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that they may interpret what they say.

Now he is saying, hey if you do speak in tongues pray to the Lord that He will also give you the gift of interpretation. If you have both gifts then in the meeting simply give us the interpretation. Recently I have been seeing people share their “dreams” online but they then give us the interpretation as well. Still, you could have taken a 15 minute video talking about a dream and the interpretation and distilled it down to a 2 minute prophecy.

14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. 15 So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my understanding.16 Otherwise when you are praising God in the Spirit, how can someone else, who is now put in the position of an inquirer, say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since they do not know what you are saying? 17 You are giving thanks well enough, but no one else is edified.

This verse is huge and always ignored. I am not aware of anyone picking this up before. The person who is hearing your speaking in a church meeting “is put into the position of an inquirer”. The church meeting is not your private worship time or prayer time. Some people are speaking and some are listening. Those that are hearing are “put into the position of an inquirer”. You cannot understand this chapter unless you understand that.

18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. 19 But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.

5 intelligible words in a meeting are worth much more than 10,000 words of gibberish. What he has done is focus on “return on investment”. How can a church meeting be most effective? Clear, intelligible words, words of instruction, prophecy, encouragement, revelation, knowledge. These words will build up the church much, much more effectively than gibberish.

20 Brothers and sisters, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults.

An adult has learned they don’t want to waste their time. They don’t want to spin their wheels getting nowhere. When I listen to various youtube posts I am in the position of an inquirer. My first question is "will this person shed light from the word of God?" I listen for a minute and there is nothing from the Bible, I may skip a minute forward, still nothing, skip two minutes forward, still nothing. I don't waste my time, I find some people are full of light and insight on the word, those are the ones I am seeking out.

When you get to heaven you will discover that many that you thought would be there are not.

Biden's visit will mean that Jerusalem is split -- Do that and God will split the US

Getting a strategic grasp on the Bible

A ministry of prayer

18 And he spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint;

I think there has been a terrible misunderstanding of what a real ministry of prayer looks like.

2 saying, There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, and regarded not man:

It is easy to see this today. We live in a "democracy" and yet it seems like our elected representatives do not fear God and do not regard man. When parents objected to what was being taught to their kids the DOJ labeled them as domestic terrorists. Arguing for abortion rights by many of these elected officials is proof they do not fear God.

3 and there was a widow in that city; and she came oft unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

The church is a widow. Going often to the unrighteous judge is not a reference to going into our prayer closet to the Lord, He is the righteous judge. The context could not be any clearer, this is not referring to believers but unbelievers (those that do not fear God) and they are not in a religious organization they are in the city (government organization) and they are acting like tyrants (they don't regard man). This widow is going "oft" to him. How do you go to a judge "oft". Sounds like you are going to court, making appeals, perhaps public protests, etc.

4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5 yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest she wear me out by her continual coming.

I believe this is why the Supreme court is discussing overturning Roe v. Wade. They realize that if 50 states keep coming up with various laws to restrict abortion that they can be worn out dealing with these various rules and laws over and over again.

6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge saith. 7 And shall not God avenge his elect, that cry to him day and night, and yet he is longsuffering over them? 8 I say unto you, that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

Pro life groups bringing appeal after appeal to the Supreme court is called prayer and faith by the Lord. However there are those who pretend to be spiritual Christians saying "why are you doing this, you should be in your prayer closet". They argue that Christians are not supposed to appeal to unrighteous judges to be avenged of their adversary. In brief they usurp the Lord's word and make themselves out to be the Lord telling Christians what they should and should not do while nullifying the word of God.

If you wonder why Hillary Clinton has committed a crime and yet has not been arrested? Or why Obama has not been arrested for violating the FISA warrants law? Or why those guilty of election fraud have not been arrested yet and the 2020 election decertified? The answer is simple, the judges are unrighteous and we are deplorable widows.

They are like scorpions and we are like ants. Now ants can easily take down a scorpion but they have to be coordinated. There is no single ant that is going to take down a scorpion, but a hundred ants, a thousand ants, can easily devour a scorpion.

This is what we are seeing thousands of ants, at school board meetings, becoming Precinct members, investigating Pfizer's documents, auditing elections, holding rallies, speaking in blogs, on Youtube, Gab, Gettr, Rumble, etc.

What we are seeing is described in this dream.

A thorn bush

3 Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to the mountain of God, unto Horeb. 2 And the angel of Jehovah appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. 3 And Moses said, I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 4 And when Jehovah saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. 5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

Moses is 80 years old, a "burning bush" signifies that God is going to speak through Moses, that he will be a burning bush and yet not consumed.

The bush is an acacia plant which is a thorn bush. In Genesis 3:18 we see that the result of man's fall was that the earth brought forth thorn bushes. Thorns signify sin. So God is going to speak through Moses, a sinful man (a murderer). This addresses two of his primary concerns: I am too old to do this job and I can't do it, I am a sinful man.

Now consider that, many attacked Christians for supporting Trump because he is a sinful man. If you are a Christian then why are you backing a "sinful man". This is true, Trump is a sinful man and we are told that we can know false prophets by their fruits. But here is the issue, every person is a sinful man, just because it may be better hid with some than with others, the idea that God cannot use a sinful person is absurd and clearly debunked in the Bible. Moses was a murderer, a fugitive from the law. David was an adulterer. Peter denied the Lord three times. Paul was there when Stephen was martyred.

No what we should do is judge by the fruit. What was Hillary Clinton's fruit -- pure evil, lies and deceit. What was Trump's fruit -- rude, crude, yet honest and trustworthy. This is not a political endorsement, there is only one Lord and there is only one name by which we may be saved. Rather what I am saying is we don't reject Moses because he is "a thorn bush", we don't reject David because he is a sinner, we don't reject Peter or Paul because they were sinners. Instead we look to see if there is fruit of repentance. The only ones to reject are those who claim to have no need of repentance.

What does "confirmed" mean?

Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

1. First mention is in Numbers

Numbers 30:14 But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.

We are told of the daughters of Babylon and the daughters of Israel, etc. The US is the "daughter" of the UK. So if a daughter makes a covenant and the father keeps silent then that is considered "confirming the covenant".

2. Confirming the Law

Deuteronomy 27:26 Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.

You confirm the law by doing the law. So if a contract requires I pay you a certain amount for the house, I confirm the covenant by paying you that amount. Jesus death on the cross confirmed the covenant.

3. Shaking hands is a confirmation of the covenant

Ruth 4:7 Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel.

Today we "shake on it". However, I think the Jewish tradition is far better when confirming anything serious after all people shake hands all the time. It could certainly be misconstrued, but no one (except Russian leaders) take off their shoes in public to confirm their agreement or disagreement.

Now let's apply this to the Antichrist. If he is the leader of the reformed Roman Empire then he doesn't have to make the covenant with Israel, he merely needs to keep silent when other countries, "daughters of the European powers" make the covenant. He also needs to abide by that law, so if the covenant recognizes that Jerusalem belongs to the Jews he would need to recognize that. The way he might "shake hands on it" would be to put the embassy for this Roman empire in Jerusalem or some other sign.

Therefore, although the antichrist has yet to be revealed (though some would dispute that saying they have seen lightning falling from heaven already) the covenant is clearly the Abraham Accords. The covenant was made by the daughter of this Roman Empire and they said nothing.

1Corinthians 14:21-34 Who are you going to be faithful to?

21 In the Law it is written: “With other tongues and through the lips of foreigners I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.”

The prophecy about tongues in the Old Testament was that it would be a sign of unbelief. This is not meant to be insulting. It can be very difficult to speak for the Lord, we all start somewhere, and these dreams have helped some very young Christians to speak. It is like having a basketball court where the baskets are only six feet off the ground for small kids to play.

22 Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is not for unbelievers but for believers.

As a new believer our faith is weak, perhaps the simplest way to begin speaking in a church meeting is in tongues, just like a baby starts by speaking gibberish. But you continue to grow and you pray that you could interpret. Soon not only can you speak in tongues but you can also interpret. Now, cut out the tongues and just give us the interpretation. Now you are prophesying. But understand this, prophesying is for "the big boys". You can definitely get "hurt".

23 So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and inquirers or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind? 24 But if an unbeliever or an inquirer comes in while everyone is prophesying, they are convicted of sin and are brought under judgment by all, 25 as the secrets of their hearts are laid bare. So they will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, “God is really among you!”

This was my experience. I discounted what the preachers were saying, I figured they were well able to hoodwink me. But when other saints began to share, that is when I saw that God was really among them. There was one brother named Raul. He was learning to read and was in his thirties. I figured this brother was way too simple to hoodwink me. It is very powerful when we all speak, even if it is only five words.

26 What then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation.

Every single one of us should have something. It can be a hymn we were enjoying. I remember I once went on a field trip for Geology and so missed the church meetings. While on the bus I discovered a new hymn, figured out how to sing it, and sang it to myself on the bus. The next week I shared this hymn with the church. They were stunned because they also had discovered the same hymn during the meeting I had missed.

Everything must be done so that the church may be built up.

The guiding principle is love, but if you love someone you will build them up. So the corollary of the Lord’s word that we are to love another and then everyone will know that we are His disciples, is that everything we do must be done to build up others.

27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. 28 If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and to God.

Can’t get any clearer than that. You don’t speak in tongues in a meeting unless you know it will be interpreted. This can also refer to someone visiting from another country and speaking to the church. If someone came to NY speaking in Chinese we would want an interpreter. No one is going to have a church meeting where a 90 minute message is given in Chinese if no one understands Chinese.

29 Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.

Once again, you have speakers and you have listeners. If you are listening you are put in the position of an enquirer and you are to weigh carefully what is said. The reason people twist what Paul says in this chapter about women speaking is they are ignoring the context.

30 And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop. 31 For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.

It is very clear in this chapter that men and women are in the meeting. When Paul says “you can all prophesy” there is no distinction made. This is an example of "weighing carefully". Those with an axe to grind will jump on a single word, pull it out of the context and then distort what was said.

32 The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets. 33 For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—as in all the congregations of the Lord’s people.

Second major issue, God is not a God of disorder. I used to meet in a church that as a rule allowed thirty minutes or more in every meeting for anyone to stand and speak. But they exercised strict control to make sure everything was done in good order. It is very tough to stand in front of two hundred and speak because they are weighing carefully what you are speaking, there is a judgment going on. I have seen people rebuked. I have also seen people try to rebuke someone and have that rebuke backfire and rebound onto them. I have seen elders and church leadership rebuked. I have seen this happen in meetings with thousands of saints. These meetings can become very intense, full of light, where people are convicted of sins, the secrets of their hearts are laid bare and they worship God that He is truly in the midst.

34 Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. 35 If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.

This is the verse, used more than any other, to accuse Paul of being sexist. If this were the only thing that Paul had ever said on the subject they would have a good case. But already in this chapter Paul has said that they all can prophesy. He has also made it clear that those who are listening are put in the position of questioning what they are hearing, weighing it for themselves. Here he connects this woman speaking with her having a question that she wants to ask. In chapter 11 of this same letter he says that a woman should have her head covered when she prays or prophecies. Therefore it is absurd to say that Paul is forbidding her to pray or prophesy in the meeting. Instead he is forbidding her from standing up to question someone who just spoke in the meeting. I have seen this practiced, it is very difficult to keep things in good order. Therefore only the elders question, rebuke or challenge anything that is said. Generally they tell the person to sit down, occasionally they will give a correcting word. If you let everyone do this the meetings would be like social media, total chaos. What happens if an elder tells someone to sit down who was speaking the word of God? I had an experience once where Witness Lee told me to sit down in a training with thousands of saints. I was speaking on the verse in Peter about multiplied grace. No one questioned him, but over the next few meetings one by one people stood up to share how that testimony had helped them, how it matched their experience of what multiplied grace was. Even the elders began to talk to him privately about this. Over time Witness Lee publicly shared that he had made a mistake. You do it in good order, you don’t allow chaos to reign, and you trust in the Spirit. But you know that the atheists will not accept this. He said “I do not permit a woman to speak”. This is true, he also shared that in the Body of Christ there is no male or female. He shared that in Galatians, the first letter he wrote. He also shared that when you speak you need to have your head covered. So here where he says he doesn’t permit a woman to speak. He says she should ask her husband. That is her head covering. This is the secret. How do you rebuke an elder of sin? You must have your head covered. Paul says when you speak you must speak as oracles of God. How? Well every word in the Bible is an oracle of God. Speak the words of the Bible. When you speak in the church you must have your head covered. I don’t mean you must wear a doily, I mean that Jesus must be Lord of the words you are speaking. There have been a number of times I knew that if I speak this word it will cause me very great trouble. I also knew that the Lord was speaking clearly that I must speak it. It all comes down to “who are you going to be faithful to”? In the end I pray Lord have mercy on me, you know I am always going to choose to be faithful to You. That is what it means to have your head covered. Now when I speak it is not the “woman” who is afraid, but I am speaking the words of the Lord, as oracles of God.

The Distraction Dream -- really a call to prayer. Likewise with Stan when he saw some "really bad news" and then a Newspaper with big tall letters in red with an exclamation mark at the end of the 2nd line.

1st thing is a plane flying high with the American flag. This is the American economy flying high. This is the leader of the free world flying high. This is the free world flying high.

2nd we see the plane make a normal descent and then a nosedive and on board no one changed what they were doing (reading magazines, listening to headphones). Our economy, our country, our freedoms are in a nosedive. Have you changed your behavior?

As soon as the pandemic hit and they shut down NYC I began two to three hours a day in the bible. I was a teacher and we were shut down with Zoom classes, so that alone saved me two hours a day if not three. I immediately swallowed up that free time by diving into the Bible. I knew this pandemic was mentioned in Joel and meant the Day of the Lord was at hand. Joel described it as a fast and so I fasted from TV and Movies. Soon I began this blog. I realize the first post of this blog was March of 2021 but this blog actually began on another forum that censored me and so I moved to Christian Chat.com in 2021.

Stan thinks the change in behavior needs to be for everyone "to go to church". I disagree. There are many, many prophecies that describe the Day of the Lord as judgement on the phony religion, judgment on the false prophets, judgment on those who say they are doing all these things in the name of the Lord and yet He says He never knew them. Look at Christianity, it has been co-opted by these laws that threaten to take away their tax exempt status. Did they push back on all the things done by the government? The answer for 98% was no. Did they begin to teach from Joel and let everyone know that this was a sign of the Day of the Lord being at hand? No. Did they explain to the members that the shutdown was actually a fast proclaimed by the Lord and you needed to use this time to come to Him? No.

Stan, like myself, sees that rocking chair as being a representation of the US. Think of a chair as a throne. Take away the chair and Xi is sitting on the floor. The US is China's biggest trading partner, it is that relationship which has caused them to grow into the world's biggest economy (if only temporarily -- I understand that at present they have shut down 45 cities representing 40% of their GDP).

Stan thinks that it is China, Russia and the US communicating concerning Taiwan. But in reality the only ones with cell phones in the dream are Putin and Xi. Putin is also sitting in the same rocking chair as Xi. So I would interpret the same. Putin is enthroned on America, take that away and he is sitting on the ground. From my understanding Putin is now one of the richest men in the world, that wealth is certainly a result of this free world economy that the US is the leader of.

Stan's interpretation differs from mine right here where we see Putin calmly not touched by the boisterous generals. He thinks it is because America is really in charge, I think it is because Putin knows that this invasion of Ukraine that has all his generals so boisterous about is really a distraction and the real event will be when he and Xi hit the send button to attack the US simultaneously. Xi circling Taiwan was a distraction as well, he knew the real target would first be the US.

Next he sees the Europeans ceding authority to the US and UK as meaning they are really in charge, I see it as meaning that Europe is staying out of the ring to let the big superpowers fight it out among themselves and destroy themselves.

Wiping the sweat from their brow is a very graphic illustration here. When Adam sinned the judgement is that

Genesis 3:19 in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

So this is pointing to the fact that they will return unto the ground as dust.

Ezekiel 44:18 They shall have linen tires upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with anything that causeth sweat.

This word is pointing out that these leaders are not wearing the linen which signifies the righteousnesses, rather they are clothed in their own sinful deeds which cause sweat.

Luke 22:44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.

When the Lord Jesus was crucified 1/3 of the Godhead was put to death. As a result during the Holocaust 1/3 of the Jews were put to death. This picture of the European leaders now are here on the eve of their crucifixion and they know it. Are they putting their trust in the Lord? Nope, they are putting their trust in the US and the UK.

However Stan and I are in agreement that the explosion that happens above the plane with the American flag indicates some kind of EMP that knocks out power in the US. I think it is the missile that detonates above the clouds over the center of the US, he thinks it is suitcase nukes and that the missile was "stopped".

He then goes off the rails by trying to sell EMP shields as though "that will give you a really big advantage". I have scoured the word of God and cannot see any hint that there is anything that will give you "a really big advantage" other than the name of Jesus. If there is no power then there is no gasoline. If there is no electricity it doesn't matter that your house is protected.

The conclusion of this dream is that everyone in that plane wakes up, all the power is off, they panic and the purpose is so that they would seriously hit their knees and pray. Everything in this dream is about how God's people are distracted and need to wake up and this event will cause them to wake up.

Would you give your daughter in marriage to a looney tunes?

Luke 17:27 People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

This is a sign the Lord gave us of His coming, how are we supposed to understand this? One person tried to say that the number of marriages were coming back to normal and that was a sign, I thought that was ridiculous but it got me thinking. If that is not how we are supposed to understand this verse, then how are we to understand it?

The phrase "given in marriage" really stuck out, it reminds me of matchmakers. Among the common people matchmakers are relatively rare, but among the rich and famous this is still a very standard practice. For example we need a match for Prince Charles, so a matchmaker comes along and says we have this wonderful girl named Diana, she comes from the right family, and ultimately Diana is given in marriage to Charles. This is not about the two of them "falling in love" but rather a match that makes sense for the royal family. If Diana had been from the wrong family she would never have been considered. This idea of the "wrong family" was portrayed in the movie "Look who is coming to Dinner" indicating that interracial marriages which were once shunned were now changing. We see that as well in "eating and drinking", there was a time when Blacks in the US could not use a water fountain for Whites and could not eat in a restaurant for Whites. This is how human society has been arranged for the last two thousand years. South Africa had apartheid, India has the caste system, etc.

However, you could argue that we recognized that this wasn't right in the sixties and tried to do away with it. The world's religions have become "ecumenical" with interfaith marriages happening all the time, and interracial marriages happening all the time as well. Today there is only one group that is shunned from the world and that is "Jesus freaks".

Now let's consider Noah and his day. You want your son to marry a nice young girl so you go talk to the family and say you have a wonderful son. What does he do? He is a carpenter and makes wonderful things. Like what? You are cornered and have to admit he has been working with Noah for the last 50 years on that boat which is the laughing stock of the whole town. They built a boat on land and have no way to get it to the water. No, he doesn't get paid to do that. No one is going to give their daughter in marriage to your son. He is a looney tunes.
Now let's fast forward to today. Same thing, your son is a wonderful carpenter, makes beautiful boats. Sounds good until you learn he has decided not to get the vaccine because he thinks it is a sign we are in the last days and because of that he lost his job. No one is going to give their daughter to you.

Everyone in the world has made a covenant with the world like a marriage contract. If you are a fundamental Christian who believes the Bible is the word of God and that includes the rapture, the Lord's coming and witnessing concerning Jesus then you cannot have a marriage covenant with the world. Your covenant is with Jesus. The Lord was telling us that this would be the case more than ever when He returns which is so hard to believe since we thought "we had gotten past all that".
