Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

Proverbs 19:1-12 Hasty feet miss the way

1 Better the poor whose walk is blameless than a fool whose lips are perverse.

We need a navigator, someone who can keep us on the right path. So who do you get. You have CNN or you have some poor news agency like Newsmax or NTD? You are better off with those whose walk is blameless than with those whose lips are perverse. For example, the NY Times is highly respected worldwide, yet they used some low level staffer, a clerk, as an anonymous source to disparage the Trump administration and portrayed him as a high ranking official in the administration. People thought it was the chief of Staff or Secretary of State. This is perverse. You are far better off with Steve Bannon than the NY Times. Why would Canada, Britain, Poland and the US all try to shut down the church? If your lips are perverse you have to shut down those whose walk is blameless.

2 Desire without knowledge is not good— how much more will hasty feet miss the way!

One thing that Bannon requires is “the receipts”, the evidence. There are a lot of people that watch and comment that desire certain things to happen. This is the motivation behind conspiracy theories. Hasty feet refer to Pelosi and her impeachment of Trump. They wrote up the articles of impeachment without the evidence, based on hearsay. Now they are humiliated and exposed as frauds. Likewise with Jacob Blake, they wanted the video of the cops shooting him to be proof of systemic racism rather than first looking for an understanding of exactly what happened and why.

3 A person’s own folly leads to their ruin, yet their heart rages against the Lord.

You did it to yourself. Twitter’s ruin is self inflicted. I fully expect them to lie and deceive others about the health of these tech giants, but the truth is the world has been warned. It isn’t just the US, but countries around the world from Australia to Uganda, they are all figuring out how to not allow these tech giants to do to them what they saw happen to the US president. If you are wise you will flee these companies while you have a chance. The same is true of the NBA, MLB and NFL. If parents turn off professional sports then the kids will not become fans and you will see a serious decline in interest from one generation to the next. The NBA made a big deal over Jacob Blake being shot, that was their folly, it led to their ruin with a drop in ratings of 40%, yet they are still raging against the Lord. MLB moved the All Star game from Atlanta to Denver even though 71% of Americans agreed with the voter integrity laws.

4 Wealth attracts many friends, but even the closest friend of the poor person deserts them.

These tech giants have assembled a large group of “friends” with their wealth, but what happens when the stock price collapses? They will be deserted. What happens to professional sports when the ratings collapse? they will be deserted.

5 A false witness will not go unpunished, and whoever pours out lies will not go free.

The lies have been pouring out from the mainstream media and the tech giants. Hunter Biden’s laptop is an example, the impeachment trials are other examples, the FISA warrants, are a third. This will not go unpunished. Think about the lie that requiring an ID to vote is racist. United Airlines claimed this was racist yet you can't fly on their airline without a picture ID. MLB said it was racist yet you can't pick up tickets to their games without a picture ID. The whole country knows this claim is a lie, they will not go unpunished.

6 Many curry favor with a ruler, and everyone is the friend of one who gives gifts.

Do not be deceived, Pelosi is not a ruler, Biden is not a ruler. I believe that this age will end with them seeing that the real ruler of Democracy is the “will of the people”. This government is “of the people, by the people and for the people”. It is not of Biden, or for Pelosi, or by congress. These people are animated by the Spirit. It is not by power or might, it is by the Lord’s Spirit. You need to see who the real ruler is if you are going to navigate the path that leads to life. Jesus is Lord working through His spirit in His people. Andrew Cuomo is pushing a law that will give $15,000 to illegal aliens in NY. The tax payers in NY will have to pay for this. Why is he doing this? He is desperate to buy the favor of friends who will otherwise vote him out of office, but doing this will offend and outrage all the NY citizens.

7 The poor are shunned by all their relatives— how much more do their friends avoid them! Though the poor pursue them with pleading, they are nowhere to be found.

Money does not make you rich because it is a vapor here today and gone tomorrow. Faith, hope and love are the things that make you rich. Yes, Twitter has lots of money, but do they have faith, hope and love? A navigator needs to be able to see through the fog, through the clouds. Twitter’s money is the fog, look for faith, hope and love to see who is really rich and who is really poor.

8 The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.

Navigating the path of life includes being able to see the future and who will prosper. What do I see? I see that the tech giants will perish. But I doubt everyone else sees that. They will hold onto the stock, they will defend the stock price, and that is a blessing because it allows those who see what is about to happen to get out. Where should they go? The service is essential, it is just that those who were offering it were fools, so go to someone who is offering the service and is not a fool. I suspect that Rumble and Parler will soon prosper. That said am I putting my money where my mouth is? No. I do not believe the US economy will prosper. I believe the day of the Lord includes judgement on the US. Salvation does not come from a good stock investment, it comes from the Lord Jesus. I am putting all my chips on Jesus and all my hope is on faith in Him. I believe that very shortly you will hear the world proclaim “blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord”.

9 A false witness will not go unpunished, and whoever pours out lies will perish.

He just said that a few verses ago! True, but the context was different. You can have a false witness in the media trying to manipulate public opinion, you can also have a false witness trying to convince people to buy stocks that are about to collapse. But wait, they did go unpunished. After the mortgage crisis where were the false witnesses that got punished? Not one in the US, no they got government bailouts and paid themselves bonuses. How do you reconcile the Lord’s word here with what we saw with our own eyes in 2008? Simple, what you saw with your own eyes was not the full extent of the falsehood. Investment banks were guilty and bankers and rating agencies were all guilty of being false witnesses. But obviously the government was also involved, the department of Justice was also involved. We tried to drain the swamp and who stood in the way? Judges, elected officials, election officials, the tech giants, the mainstream media, and foreign countries like China and Iran. The connection is being exposed like a nasty bloody chain that is trying to bring all of America into bondage. The Lord’s word is true, they will not go unpunished. We are still in the discovery phase.

10 It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury— how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!

The church needs to appreciate that we are princes, sons of God, our older brother is the king. It is not fitting that slaves of sin should rule over us. Google and Twitter and Facebook have been trying to rule over us. Telling us what we can and cannot say. This should be a wake up call to all of us.

11 A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.

Think about it, at some point you realized you were being lied to. Did anyone hold it to your account that prior to that you were echoing lies? Did anyone hold it to your account that you were rebuking those who were telling you the truth? This is wisdom, we don’t condemn people who are deceived, instead we overlook that offense to make it easier for them to see the truth and repent.

12 A king’s rage is like the roar of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.

You have to pick sides, everyone is picking sides and this is of the Lord. On one side they will suffer the rage of the Lord Jesus, on the other side they will enjoy the favor of the Lord Jesus. We are navigating a path that avoids the rocks, like falling into the teeth of the lion, and instead are seeking out that path that will cause His favor to shine on us.

Proverbs 19:13-29 Navigating through the fog

13 A foolish child is a father’s ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like the constant dripping of a leaky roof.

My father taught me the importance of navigating away from the rocks. We had a small boat and I went out with him before school to check our lobster pots. One morning the fog came in and once we dropped the pots back down we couldn’t see five feet in front of the boat. Our lobster pots were in among the rocks so this was quite scary, go the wrong way and we’ll be on the rocks. On the other hand you can’t just sit there because the tide and wind will push you onto the rocks. What to do? We could hear a bell buoy nearby so my dad decided to head towards it with me on the bow watching for rocks with an oar. Still once you get to the bell buoy you are now on the edge of the channel, but which edge? We got up to the buoy and my dad asked for the number, I didn’t realize these things had numbers, but I found it and told him. He then pulled out the map found the number and we were then able to figure out almost where we were. We then headed to the next bell buoy and when we had that number we knew exactly where we were. I never understood before why we needed that map. The Bible is our map, it helps us navigate in the most extreme circumstances.

14 Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.

The forefathers of this nation left us all kinds of great assets. The constitution, the bill of rights, a country that goes from sea to shining sea. But if you want a congress that is prudent, that is from the Lord. You look at the corruption, the lies, the hypocrisy overflowing from the Capitol you are seeing that we have lost the Lord’s favor. We have rejected Him and He is rejecting us. The issue is not a phony impeachment or a rigged election. The issue is that God’s people have rejected the Lord.

15 Laziness brings on deep sleep, and the shiftless go hungry.

So many people didn’t want anything to do with the government, didn’t care about the news, let someone else worry about that, they have more important things. They would rather watch football or some Hollywood movie than pay attention to what is going on. While you slept the thieves crept in. Until you deal with your laziness there will be no solution.

16 Whoever keeps commandments keeps their life, but whoever shows contempt for their ways will die.

To reject the laws of God is to show contempt for your ways. There are certain rules for a navigator. They know how to tell their location using the North Star and a clock. If your clock doesn’t work you have a real problem which is why Britain didn’t just develop a world class navy they also developed world class clocks. But what if you can’t see the North Star because of clouds? As a result they would have maps of the entire sky. The problem is the stars you can see at night change with the seasons. So not only did they have maps of all the stars, they had copies of these maps for every month. The navigator got a big room on a ship with these maps. You look and all you can see is the ocean in every direction, but a navigator who keeps these maps, these commandments, can see exactly where you are on that big wide open sea. I used to have contempt for that map my dad had, but once I gained an appreciation for it I realized that map could save my life.

17 Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done.

You want some investment advice? Be kind to the poor.

18 Discipline your children, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to their death.

No one likes to be mocked, ridiculed and insulted. When people are foolish and are deceived they may do this thinking they are doing the right thing. Even a father could be so offended he decides to let his son follow his foolishness to his death. Wisdom is not wisdom if it does not include faith, hope and love.

19 A hot-tempered person must pay the penalty; rescue them, and you will have to do it again.

Sometimes the only remedy, the only cure is to pay the penalty. We call this tough love. A person who gets into a bar fight, maybe it is better to spend six months in jail than for others to make excuses about how they are really a good person. When you do that you minimize the severity of their crime. This could lead to domestic violence. Every person who has rioted and looted this year must be prosecuted and pay the penalty. It is disgusting to me to hear of Kamala Harris and others bailing them out and letting them take part in more riots.

20 Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise.

Really? I remember as a kid I was a fool. I was completely clueless about what wisdom was, it was a total mystery. Could it really be this simple, listen to advice and accept discipline? Consider Malcolm X, he is counted among the wise today but in his youth he was one of the biggest fools.

21 Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.

Denzel Washington said “no one plans to fail, they fail to plan”. But that wasn’t the only thing he said in that speech. He also said that when you go to bed push your slippers way under the bed so in the morning you will have to get on your knees to get them, and while down there pray to God. The Lord’s purpose will prevail, are you aligned with the Lord’s purpose? Pray. Read the word and little by little you will be.

22 What a person desires is unfailing love; better to be poor than a liar.

A liar is truly a big flashing red light alarm. If you are dating a girl and she is a liar, that is all you need to know, extricate yourself from that relationship as soon as you can. If you are in business with someone and learn they are a liar, remove yourself from that contract as soon as possible. If you learn that the NY Times is a liar, or CNN, or MSNBC, or Facebook, or Twitter, or Google then terminate your relationship with them. It is better to be poor, use a different search engine, use a different source for your news. Everyone wants unfailing love, it is very hard to find, so you will find liars promising that. Don’t fall for it.

23 The fear of the Lord leads to life; then one rests content, untouched by trouble.

Really, untouched by trouble? There are a lot of scary things happening today and so far I have been “untouched”. That doesn’t mean I have hid in the basement, no I have been on the streets protesting injustice. It doesn’t mean I have been silent, no I speak every day. Hiding in the basement, being silent and avoiding confrontation is not equivalent to “the fear of the Lord”.

24 A sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not even bring it back to his mouth!

We got into this situation with a corrupt government selling us out to foreign nations because we were lazy and we slept. Now it is time to rise and eat. These giants are our food. Slay them.

25 Flog a mocker, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke the discerning, and they will gain knowledge.

When Twitter’s stock price collapses, when the board of directors fires the CEO and other key personnel, when the lawsuits hit their backs like lashes from a whip. Then the simple in other companies will learn prudence. The discerning will gain knowledge from this rebuke. CNN has seen a drop in ratings of 40%, you can be sure others are taking notice.

26 Whoever robs their father and drives out their mother is a child who brings shame and disgrace.

Twitter kicked out their biggest and best accounts how idiotic is that. With the investors and advertisers this will bring shame and disgrace. Twitter censored the people who use the service with bogus excuses and prevented the truth from getting out about Biden prior to the election. The main value of Twitter is to disseminate the truth that everyone needs quickly and widely. They violated their entire reason for existence, they insulted their customers and got rid of their biggest and most profitable customers. What a shame and disgrace.

27 Stop listening to instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge.

Wisdom is not once for all. Just ask the captain of the Exxon Valdez what happens if you stray from the path.

28 A corrupt witness mocks at justice, and the mouth of the wicked gulps down evil.

This has been on full display these last three months as they claim there has been no evidence of election fraud and the lawsuits are frivolous.

29 Penalties are prepared for mockers, and beatings for the backs of fools.

Yeah! Amen and Amen.

Jeremiah 9:1-9 -- They make ready their tongues like bows to shoot lies

1 Oh, that my head were a spring of water and my eyes a fountain of tears! I would weep day and night for the slain of my people. 2 Oh, that I had in the desert a lodging place for travelers, so that I might leave my people and go away from them; for they are all adulterers, a crowd of unfaithful people.

We have a covenant, a contract, a constitution. The politicians sell themselves out to the highest bidder. We are seeing evidence of the Biden family doing this for years, working together with the Kerry family. There is a list of all the key figures in the government doing this as well. We see the FBI is involved, the tech giants, and the major media outlets.

3 “They make ready their tongue like a bow, to shoot lies; it is not by truth that they triumph in the land. They go from one sin to another; they do not acknowledge me,” declares the Lord.

“They make ready their tongues like a bow to shoot lies.” What a fantastic description of what we are seeing happening right now. First, we have polls telling us for months how Biden was leading by 10-14%. With a lead like that this should have been a huge sweep. Yet with our own eyes we could not see anyone interested in his rally’s and we saw all of the interest in the Trump rallies. We saw crowds like we have never seen at any political rally before. They are all clearly Trump supporters. We heard the Biden camp encourage all their voters to mail in the votes because “of the pandemic”. This sets the stage to believe that most mail in votes are for Biden. Then we saw them change the laws in Pennsylvania to count votes that arrive days after the election. This allows them to count how many they will need before stuffing the ballots. Finally, they change the laws to allow ballots that don’t have a postmark and where the signatures don’t match. “They have made their tongues ready like a bow to shoot lies”. They are not interested in triumphing by truth. One sin to the next, cover up the past sins so that we can go on to the next sins. The changes to the laws all are like loading an arrow into your bow.

4 “Beware of your friends; do not trust anyone in your clan. For every one of them is a deceiver, and every friend a slanderer.

There are many who hate Trump because he is a “slanderer”. I tell them that this is irrelevant, the question is not why do those who don’t vote for him not vote for him, the real question is why do those who do vote for him do that? So I was told he was buying their votes. So I asked this person how much would it cost to buy their vote? They were outraged at even the suggestion that they would be so corrupt as to sell their vote. So I pointed out how slanderous and insulting it was to accuse these voters of that. They responded “you can say whatever you want, it just goes in one ear and out the other, I don’t pay that any mind, I’m a Christian”. I said, OK, do you treat the Lord’s words that way as well? No? Well what about “with what judgement you judge you shall be judged?”

5 Friend deceives friend, and no one speaks the truth. They have taught their tongues to lie; they weary themselves with sinning.

They have been taught these lies from the media.

6 You live in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me,” declares the Lord.

No one can deny that in the US the laws and government have refused to acknowledge the Lord now for years, decades.

7 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says: “See, I will refine and test them, for what else can I do because of the sin of my people? 8 Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaks deceitfully. With their mouths they all speak cordially to their neighbors, but in their hearts they set traps for them. 9 Should I not punish them for this?” declares the Lord. “Should I not avenge myself on such a nation as this?”

I am a teacher and have learned to expect these kinds of traps every year from the parents of students. For example a parent was not happy that I require a 50% score or better on an online assignment before I will put it in the gradebook. The student can redo them, I only keep the highest grade, and I give them the answers to half the questions on a video where I work out the first half of the assignment. Still she wasn’t happy so she complained that she “didn’t like the tone” of my grading policy where I say “I do not accept grades less than 50%” and wanted it changed to a much more kid friendly “I don’t want to accept grades less than 50%”. But if you say that then it isn’t clear, do you accept them or not. It was a trap.

Jeremiah 9:10-26 You had better learn how to wail

10 I will weep and wail for the mountains and take up a lament concerning the wilderness grasslands. They are desolate and untraveled, and the lowing of cattle is not heard. The birds have all fled and the animals are gone. 11 “I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals; and I will lay waste the towns of Judah so no one can live there.” 12 Who is wise enough to understand this? Who has been instructed by the Lord and can explain it? Why has the land been ruined and laid waste like a desert that no one can cross?

We have just learned that the Biden family has been selling influence all over the world, but that China is the key country with business dealings in excess of $1 billion. Is it any wonder that all the manufacturing jobs go to China while the politicians make promises to get a fair trade agreement with China but never deliver on that promise?

13 The Lord said, “It is because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them; they have not obeyed me or followed my law. 14 Instead, they have followed the stubbornness of their hearts;they have followed the Baals, as their ancestors taught them.” 15 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “See, I will make this people eat bitter food and drink poisoned water. 16 I will scatter them among nations that neither they nor their ancestors have known, and I will pursue them with the sword until I have made an end of them.”

I have discovered that many Americans do not understand any of this. They don’t know how devastating it is to the economy to lose manufacturing jobs. They don’t understand how voter fraud could be “very rare” and yet change an election. They don’t understand how 0.04% of the popular vote could equal 7.4% of the electoral college votes, the only votes that matter.

Voter Fraud is very rare and other lies.

Let's consider this election as an example.

1. Many people think the election can turn on two "swing states" which refer to states where the vote is very close. So you don't need voter fraud in 48 states, so right there you can say that 96% of the states don't have any voter fraud.

2. These states are called "swing states" because they are closely contested. Let's say 10 million people vote in the state, 100% of those votes can be legitimate. No fraud. But now one candidate has 5,100,000 votes and the other has 4,900,000 votes. The election hinges on 200,000 votes, not 10 million. So if I have voter fraud on 200,000 votes that is only 2% of the votes in that state, and that state is only 1 out of 50 which is also 2%. So then 99.96% of the vote can be legitimate, and yet that 0.04% that is fraudulent.

Still how can such a tiny amount affect the election?

Pennsylvania has 20 electoral votes, if you win the state, even by a very tiny margin you get all the electoral votes. That is 7.4% of the electoral college votes needed to win. So manipulating 0.04% of votes turns into a 7.4% swing in the electoral college. A close election will generally be decided by 7% of the vote.

17 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Consider now! Call for the wailing women to come; send for the most skillful of them. 18 Let them come quickly and wail over us till our eyes overflow with tears and water streams from our eyelids. 19 The sound of wailing is heard from Zion: ‘How ruined we are! How great is our shame! We must leave our land because our houses are in ruins.’”

How did our education become so poor that people don’t know about the electoral college and don’t understand simple math? The schools are run by the cities, and the school system is a great way the politicians can sell themselves like prostitutes. You give them $1 million for their campaign and then they give you a contract for $10 million to supply the schools. Our schools were forced to switch out all our desks and chairs after the last election. Why? We had no issue with the desks, what we needed was $70,000 for tutoring and instead we got $500,000 worth of desks we didn’t want or need. Well these desks were triangles, a very useless design unless you put four of them together to form a square. These desks require the kids to sit in groups of four, which is a slick way to lower standards. Now four kids get the credit for the work they produce. Consider your own experience in school when you did group work, did everyone pull their own weight? No teacher wanted this, but it was forced upon us, and it gets worse. Not only do they waste $500,000 for the school making it look like our schools are well funded, but then they have to create an entire justification for this which forces all teachers to now teach kids in groups of four.

20 Now, you women, hear the word of the Lord; open your ears to the words of his mouth. Teach your daughters how to wail; teach one another a lament.

Hey, you don’t want to learn math or government, then you better learn to wail.

21 Death has climbed in through our windows and has entered our fortresses; it has removed the children from the streets and the young men from the public squares.

What do you think happened to Detroit when they sent the manufacturing to China? Why do you think the water in Flint was poisoned? When you lose your tax base, you lose your ability to provide basic services.

22 Say, “This is what the Lord declares: “‘Dead bodies will lie like dung on the open field, like cut grain behind the reaper, with no one to gather them.’” 23 This is what the Lord says: “Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, 24 but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” declares the Lord.

The church is the ark where you will be saved from this coming calamity.

25 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will punish all who are circumcised only in the flesh— 26 Egypt, Judah, Edom, Ammon, Moab and all who live in the wilderness in distant places. For all these nations are really uncircumcised,and even the whole house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart.”

The problem is our heart. Why are we willing to ignore politicians who are robbing us blind? Why are we willing to listen to empty promises year after year after year and yet when they were in power they did nothing. The problem is we aren’t circumcised in our heart. Why are we willing to let our schools become the laughing stock of the developed world?

Jeremiah 17:1-6 -- Miserable women and purposeless men

The sin of Judah is written down with an iron stylus; With a diamond point it is engraved upon the tablet of their heart And on the horns of their altars.

It turns out that both Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren wrote concerning the flaws of the Dominion / Smartmatic voting system being able to be used to manipulate votes. They have found in both Michigan and Pennsylvania votes that were switched from Trump to Biden. They have affidavits from engineers who designed and built these systems. The sins have been written with an iron stylus, they are engraved on the hearts of those who have perpetrated this fraud. Mike Lindell has produced three movies detailing the fraud, Peter Navarro has published three volumes detailing the fraud and Sydney Powell is pushing forward with her lawsuits concerning the fraud. The people running this country are miserable women and purposeless men.

2 As they remember their children, So they remember [in detail] their [pagan] altars and their Asherim Beside green trees on the high hills.

Who are they worshipping? The Feminist movement has revolutionized human society. Women are encouraged to be independent, autonomous, self reliant. Women are taught to despise getting married and raising a family. It is the dream of multinational corporations. You double the workforce, cutting labor costs and you double the market you can sell to. The people working for you are not tied down to families so they are free to move about the globe. Feminist movement is a movement that worships the pagan altars of multinational corporations. Healthcare costs for singles are a fraction of that for married couples.

3 O [Jerusalem] My mountain in the countryside, I will give [to the Babylonians, as the cost of your sin] your wealth and all your treasures as plunder, And throughout your territory, your high places of sin.

There will be a very high price to pay for this crime. This is a sin of rebellion. They think they can ignore God’s ordination. The entire transgender movement is an extension of this. The multinational corporations want cheap labor, no strings attached, no expensive healthcare or maternity leave. They know people need to have relationships so they push fornication, sex outside of marriage. They are strong proponents of abortion for the same reason. Every baby that is aborted is one less baby that they will pay for through their health benefits. This makes for miserable women and purposeless men. What was “Babylon”? It was a city where an idol, an image, a companies logo was stamped into every brick. Their “goal” was to build a city that would reach to the heavens but all they got was a confused mess. Everyone speaking nonsense and confusion. That is who you want to give your wealth and treasure to? The result of that is our culture crumbles to dust. Every enduring culture is focused on families. The major religions are focused on families. Pagan religions sacrifice the children on their altars.

4 And you will, through your own fault, let go of your [grip on your] inheritance That I gave you; And I will make you serve your enemies In a land which you do not know; For you have kindled a fire in My anger Which will burn forever.

This country is an inheritance for the righteous. The rest of the world envies our freedoms, but now you will become their servants while God’s disgust and anger will burn forever. The lies, the hypocrisy, the evil, the blood guiltiness, they have all kindled a fire. The Lord is angry, this anger will burn forever. Christ and the church was our inheritance. You let go of that for a gospel that isn’t a gospel. Where is the good news in being a 65 year old woman with three cats and an ice cream cake for your retirement party?

5 Thus says the Lord, “Cursed is the man who trusts in and relies on mankind, Making [weak, faulty human] flesh his strength, And whose mind and heart turn away from the Lord.

There are two choices, trust in God, or trust in man. Trust in the Bible or trust in the words of Zuckerberg and Gates. Bill Gates wants to “dim the sun” as a solution for climate change. To do this he wants to spew air pollution in the stratosphere to reflect sunlight. This is not a joke or a conspiracy theory. He has said this plainly. He is a college dropout, dropping out of college as a freshman but the entire world should trust him because he is a billionaire. “Cursed is the man who trusts in and relies on mankind”. Zuckerberg declares what is and is not fake news. Later he admits he had no basis on which to do that and made a mistake, but not before the damage is done. A very significant number of people who voted for Biden have said they did not know about Hunter Biden’s laptop and had they known they would not have voted for him. They didn’t hear about it because Zuckerberg declared it was fake news. He also gave $400 million dollars to fix the election by influencing poll workers. You may think that was generous but a significant portion of the $6 trillion of the “stimulus” bill will go back to him one way or another. Key people from Facebook are now working in Biden’s administration and whereas Trump was trying to take away the 230 provision that protects them from being sued Biden will protect it. Zuckerberg will get his $400 million back several times over. “Cursed is the man who makes the flesh his strength”.

6 “For he will be like a shrub in the [parched] desert; And shall not see prosperity when it comes, But shall live in the rocky places of the wilderness, In an uninhabited salt land.

Right now Biden and Harris are claiming that prosperity has come. Yet they live in a parched desert. Washington is surrounded by barbed wire and soldiers. The border crisis is a national embarrassment and Harris who is in charge of it is in hiding. Biden is a rubber stamp for the most extreme actions that violate the constitution. They are violating both the first and second amendments, people’s right to worship, people’s right to speak their opinion, and the right to bear arms and protect this country from tyranny. More than 70% of the country disagrees with many of the things he is doing. He is the most unpopular president in history! The press is covering for him and as a result only 33% of Americans still trust the press to tell them the truth. In a democracy this is the definition of an uninhabited salt land.

Jeremiah 17:7-15 It will be a day like no other.

7 “Blessed [with spiritual security] is the man who believes and trusts in and relies on the Lord And whose hope and confident expectation is the Lord.

I went to the rally to “Stop the Steal” in Washington DC this weekend. It was blessed. They opened with prayers, sang hymns, sang God bless America, danced and praised the Lord. Many were there with verses from the Bible, some with signs that “Jesus saves” and they marched in an orderly fashion, being submissive to the police, to the Supreme court. All they wanted was truth and justice. Today we are seeing many things happen that were unimaginable just a few years ago. But if you are one who believes and trusts and relies on the Lord it is as though you are in a strong tower. We are not “hiding” I speak everyday. But we are not caught up in the trivial nonsense and cancel culture and riots and looting. Instead we are praying, praising, and trusting in the Lord.

8 “For he will be [nourished] like a tree planted by the waters, That spreads out its roots by the river; And will not fear the heat when it comes; But its leaves will be green and moist. And it will not be anxious and concerned in a year of drought Nor stop bearing fruit.

One main focus for prayer was to protect and strengthen the whistleblowers. We are aware of the intimidation tactics used by these forces, the cancel culture, the threats of being terminated, and they knew that “we need to stand as one”. Some were on the forefront like Mike Lindell and we knew we had to stand with him so that he need not be concerned.

9 “The heart is deceitful above all things And it is extremely sick; Who can understand it fully and know its secret motives? 10 “I, the Lord, search and examine the mind, I test the heart, To give to each man according to his ways, According to the results of his deeds.

There is a reason that widespread fraud on a massive scale is not done in these elections. If the vote is extremely close no one really knows who is going to win. If someone wins by 0.1% of the vote then really it was a toss up and no one is going to really question it regardless of who wins. But if you have to manufacture millions of votes, that is really way too much to ask of these crooks. The people at the top are truly very stupid, no one can really understand how stupid they are. They think that because they have created this “extensive voter fraud organization” that they control the vote. But then the Lord puts his thumb on the scale, He tests the heart, and their entire organization is crushed. What is coming out now is far worse than just a stolen election. Herbert Hoover started the “deep state” when he realized digging dirt on powerful people would help establish the power of the FBI. As a result their is an entire hidden infrastructure, a “deep state” of crooks. They are kept in line by mutual assured destruction. If one falls they all fall which is why they are so shrill about any suggestion that they are crooked.

11 “Like the partridge that hatches eggs which she has not laid, So is he who makes a fortune in ways that are unjust. It will be lost to him before his days are over, And in the end he will be [nothing but] a fool.”

This is an important point. The Bible says that the antichrist destroys the mighty but not by his power. He is simply at the right place at the right time and takes credit for it. Instead of giving all glory to God and being humbled by the process he instead thinks he is some kind of genius and in the end will appear as nothing but a fool. At the end of the age the multifarious wisdom of God will be on full display.

12 A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning, Is the place of our sanctuary (the temple).

Jesus is Lord and will be like Solomon when He rules. The story about Solomon asking for a sword to divide the baby in half and give it to each woman established Solomon in the eyes of the people and caused them to fear. In the same way the judgement that the Lord displays at the end of this age will cause all those who would even consider evil to fear for 1,000 years. This is the one thing that no ruler has been able to figure out for all of human history, how do you separate the wicked from the faithful?

13 O Lord, the hope of Israel, All who abandon You will be shamed. Those who turn away on earth will be written down, Because they have abandoned the Lord, the fountain of living waters. 14 Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; Save me and I will be saved, For You are my praise.

Joe Biden recently said now is the time for us to come together and be healed. No one takes him seriously. Thugs attacked women and children and old people in the streets of Washington DC after the rally and Biden was silent. Biden has supported the “defund the police” at a time when the riots and looting have become rampant. Homicides in some cities are up 20%. But when the Lord takes over we will have healing, we will come together, we will have a leader that can lead us in a right path. There were over 500 violent protests by Black Lives Matter in the last year and yet they are described as 93% peaceful. There was one riot that happened at the same time as a “Stop the Steal” rally and it was called an insurrection with calls for tens of millions of Americans to be punished. What was so terrible? Many were charged with trespassing. One man had a confederate flag but he has been identified as a Democrat and was not part of the rally. A number of the people identified as having planned the riot have been identified as either Black Lives Matter members or members of anarchist groups also not part of the rally. It is possible that the rally (riot) was responsible for killing one person, a policeman, however, no one has been charged with that crime and we still don’t have the cause of death for the policeman (this is three months later). No one believes this. It is becoming more and more obvious that the claims of “white supremacists” were false and are being exposed.

15 Behold, they keep saying to me, “Where is the word of the Lord [that is, the disaster that you prophesied]? Let it come now!”

The pandemic was prophesied in Joel, 911 was prophesied in Habakkuk, the reason for the judgements at the end of the age were prophesied in Amos. Daniel gave us specific time frames down to the day. A great sign in the heavens was prophesied in Revelation 12 and was seen on September 23, 2017, the Festival of Trumpets. The Festivals of God are a shadow of the things to come. The Lord told us this time would be like the Days of Noah. During that time Noah was mocked for years and years as the ark was preparing. He was a preacher of righteousness that was seen as a funny punchline right up until the day Noah and his family entered the ark and closed the door. It is interesting that the Lord said they went about completely ignorant of the impending judgement right up until that day. Yet, it didn’t start raining for another week. At the end of this age our preaching of Jesus as the only savior will be seen as a joke right up until the day of the rapture. Even though the judgement may not come for another week (7 years), it will be the rapture that stops the world in its tracks. It will be “the day like no other”, it will be “the day of the Lord”.

Jeremiah 17:16-27 Who do you worship?

16 But as for me, I have not tried to escape from being a shepherd [walking] after You, Nor have I longed for the woeful day [of judgment]; You know that, whatever I said Was [spoken] in Your presence and was from You.

Speak knowing that every word is being recorded and will be repeated at the judgement. Even safer, speak the word of God.

17 Do not be a terror to me; You are my refuge and my hope in the day of disaster. 18 Let those who persecute me be shamed, but as for me, protect me from shame; Let them lose courage, but let me be undaunted. Bring on them a day of tragedy, And destroy them with double destruction!

I have been trying to focus on the truth and yet it is clear many are not interested in the truth. They have decided that Trump is a terrible human being so they don’t care how he loses so long as he loses. So they persecute people for speaking the truth. His rallies were incredible in how many people were clearly supporting him. The contrast with Biden was stark. We were told that 25 Republicans would lose in this election and not one did, instead quite a few Democrats lost. Any unbiased observer would say that those Republicans won because those massive crowds that were supporting Trump also voted for everyone else on the ticket. Trump got an incredible record number of votes and yet we are being told that Biden got even more? It doesn’t make sense, if all those people wanted Biden why did they vote against everyone else in the party and all their initiatives? What is a double destruction? Losing an election is a small loss, getting caught in fraud and criminal behavior that is twice as bad.

19 Thus the Lord said to me, “Go and stand in the public gate, through which the kings of Judah come in and go out, and [stand] also in all the gates of Jerusalem; 20 and say to them, ‘Listen to the word of the Lord, kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the people of Jerusalem who enter through these gates.

This is what the “Stop the Steal” rally did in Washington DC and all the other rallies around the country are doing. Those rallies stood in the gate and spoke to the rulers as well as all the people of the US.

21 Thus says the Lord, “Pay attention for your own good, [and for the sake of your future] do not carry any load on the Sabbath day or bring anything in through the gates of Jerusalem. 22 You shall not carry a load out of your houses on the Sabbath day nor do any work, but keep the Sabbath day holy [by setting it apart as a day of worship], as I commanded your fathers. 23 Yet they would not listen and obey and control their behavior; but they were stiff-necked in order not to hear and take instruction.

Relax, it is the Sabbath day, the day that we rest. God will do the work. We stand in the gate and pray, sing hymns, praise and worship before the Lord. Stand still and see the salvation of our God. The Pandemic has been a forced sabbath on the land.

24 But it will come about, if you listen diligently to Me,” says the Lord, “to bring no load in through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but keep the Sabbath day holy by doing no work on it, 25 then kings and princes who will sit on the throne of David will enter through the gates of this city, riding in chariots and on horses—the kings and their princes, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city will be inhabited and endure throughout the ages. 26 People will come from the cities of Judah and the places all around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin, from the lowland, from the hill country and from the South (the Negev), bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and incense, and bringing sacrifices of thanksgiving to the house of the Lord. 27 But if you will not listen to Me and keep the Sabbath day holy by not carrying a load as you come in the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will kindle a fire in her gates that cannot be extinguished, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem.”’”

We are standing in the gap for this country. This is not about wanting one person to win, this is about honoring God and worshipping Him in holiness. What does it mean to keep the sabbath, it is a day for your family and you to meet together with God. It is a day dedicated to God and not to commerce, not to business, not to the multinational corporations. Who do you worship? God or Mammon?

Hebrews 8 -- A Perfect Work

1 Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, 2 and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being.

Remember we learned in the previous chapter that a priest intercedes for us with things that we need God’s help for. Here we find that our High priest is at the right hand of the throne of the majesty in heaven. Doesn’t get better than that, and He serves the true tabernacle that is set up by the Lord, not by a mere human. So when we pray we need to make sure we are praying concerning this true tabernacle, not something man made.

3 Every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer.

The old covenant is full of the regulations concerning the priesthood, gifts and sacrifices. If you are going to have a new covenant you need a new priesthood, gifts and sacrifices. This is a complaint made by the Judaizers, it is a fair complaint and so we need to look at this. This is why John the Baptist said “behold, the Lamb of God”.

4 If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.

Another very good point. You need to have a standing. We are learning from the best, we are kings and priests to God. We need to have a standing and we need gifts and sacrifices, otherwise this is just one of many, many cults that come and go. John the Baptist was a priest and Jesus as the lamb of God was offered as a gift prescribed by the law. We have been made priests to God, but not based on this earthly covenant.

5 They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”

Moses told them they couldn’t just do this any way they wanted, it had to be according to a pattern that was shown them on the mountain because the temple they built on Earth was patterned after the true temple in the heavens. Therefore the earthly temple is a shadow of the heavenly one. The passover feast that the Jews keep was a shadow of the real one, the feast of unleavened bread and of the firstfruits is a shadow of the real one. The shewbread table, the lamb and the altar of incense are shadows of the heavenly ones. It is like some Twilight zone episode where everything they have been doing is a shadow.

6 But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.

Whoa! If the old covenant is a shadow of the heavenly one, then the promises which are earthly are a shadow of heavenly ones. In Deuteronomy there are promised blessings for those who keep the covenant, but they are all earthly. You will have an abundant harvest, your enemies will not be able to defeat you, etc. All of those promised blessings are to you in this life on this earth, whereas the promises that Jesus gives us to have a well of water that never runs dry, to be able to come to the Father through Him, and to know the resurrection life, these are eternal and heavenly.

7 For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.

This is a very good point. In the Old Testament we are told clearly that God did find something wrong with the old covenant and that He would make a new covenant.

8 But God found fault with the people and said: “The days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. 9 It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and I turned away from them, declares the Lord.

This must have been a very hard verse for those trying to say we still were in the old covenant and had to keep it. I suppose one way to deal with this would be to make a special translation where this verse is not there, or perhaps change your translation of the word “make a new” to “renew”, so the days are coming when I will “renew” my covenant with them, or “make new my covenant with them”. Many of these cults are based on these slight changes to the word of God. They do not cut the word of God straight.

10 This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 11 No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. 12 For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”

The problem with changing one little word in the Bible is that you then have to go through and change lots and lots of other words. I heard a pastor share a message and he said that regardless of what you think about this pandemic (there are several theories running around) he believes that in the end it is something that God has allowed. This would never have taken place had God not allowed it. He also pointed out that the offerings to the church have dried up. I suspect this is true around the world, not just in Christian churches but also synagogues and mosques. So then he called for two weeks of prayer and fasting to repent of the sins. But look, if we are going to be priests in the new covenant interceding for the people we need to have gifts and offerings. We need to pay attention to this because in the new covenant “they all will know me from the least to the greatest”. If there is sin that needs to be repented of by God’s people it will be due to a lack of faithfulness, a lack of knowing God. It will be because when because of the time God’s people ought to be teachers they need someone to teach them again what the elementary truths of God’s word are. We have a new covenant, that is an elementary truth. We all know God, that is an elementary truth. We all need to be able to discern between good and evil, that is an elementary truth. Perhaps what is really happening is that we are graduating from the elementary teachings and going on to maturity. Perhaps we have been brought out of slavery to sin, God took us by the hand and led us out during the church age, and now it is time for us to enter into the good land to rule and reign with Jesus Christ, the Lord of all.

13 By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.

I don’t think we fully appreciate that today because there have been many failed attempts at making something “new” like “new coke”. Likewise there are people who love antiques and old cars and they call them “vintage”. But the point is this, if you have a “new” covenant then the old one is now “outdated”. That is a very big deal in the legal world. If you have a will and it is “outdated” you don’t have anything. A testament is different from a will because the person has already died. So anyone holding to the Old Testament can claim it is a legal document that is still in effect, that is true. But who died: a bull, a dove, a lamb? Your legal contract is based on the death of a some animals, the new testament is based on the death of the Son of God. So then, do we want to go back to the way things were in the 1800s or 1900s or has the Lord made that obsolete and something that will soon disappear? This is so difficult to know, what was the main point again?

1 Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, 2 and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being.

Why would anyone want to go back?

It is alarming to me that so few people understand where money comes from. When you try and explain their eyes glaze over.

So let's look at this from a very different perspective, one that most if not all of us are familiar with. When you buy a house where does the money come from? If you don't have $300,000 or whatever the total cost is, how are you able to buy a house? You get a mortgage. But what is a mortgage? It is a contract, a covenant. You are making a legally binding covenant to pay the rest of the money for that house at a prescribed time and in prescribed amounts.

You can understand that but what does that have to do with money? The bank takes that mortgage and puts it in a column of "assets". That piece of paper tells them they will receive payments over the following years. In the debit column they then write a check for the amount your house is worth and "poof" the money is created.

Money is a covenant. We have a covenant God and as long as we regard the covenant as sacred all is well and good. However, what happens if you no longer worship the God whose kingdom is established on righteousness but rather worship those little scribblings in the book with the debits and the assets. This is what has always happened in any society that has a fiat currency (money is created whenever a debt is incurred). The biggest bank robbers are those people that print the currency. They begin to write billion and trillion dollar checks right and left. It is easy. Someone gave me $400 million to help me get elected, here is a check for $40 billion.

Once that happens money is no longer a covenant (no one has any intention or faintest hope to pay that debt off) rather it is an idol. They are worshipping idols. Not only so it is pagan worship, they have many, many gods. Facebook is a god, Twitter is a god, Google is a god, NY Times is a god, etc. The list is endless.

Proverbs 20:1-5 -- Every Contact leaves a trace

1 Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise.

The mainstream media involves the news, but it also involves things like “the Kardashians” and “NFL football”. Why have Americans been asleep to the steal? They have been drunk and befuddled by the “entertainment media”. Imagine getting into a brawl over a game played by multi millionaires. A game that in no way shape or form impacts your life. How are people befuddled by this stuff? I like football, I like basketball, but in reality I could care less about Lebron or any of the rest.

2 A king’s wrath strikes terror like the roar of a lion; those who anger him forfeit their lives.

What is happening to Liz Cheney? She was elected by Wyoming a couple of weeks ago to the Congress, she was supposed to be a leader of the Republican party yet she decided to vote for impeachment without looking at evidence or considering that 75% of the people in Wyoming voted for Trump. The people of Wyoming were outraged calling her and calling the state republican party. Her website crashed, her voice mail is full, she doesn’t answer her phone, she hasn’t responded yet to the Republican party in Wyoming. So various counties have passed a resolution to censor her and to have her resign! She has only been in office for a few weeks! Liz Cheney is not the Lion, the Lion is the people of Wyoming who she was elected to represent.

3 It is to one’s honor to avoid strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel.

No one was quicker to quarrel than Nancy Pelosi and the squad who wrote up the articles of impeachment without even seeing the evidence. Since they did that evidence has come out that a key witness implicating Trump supporters is actually a BLM and ANTIFA activist who organized and planned the riot. Evidence has come out that this riot was perpetrated by people who planned it prior to Trump’s speech and didn’t even attend Trump’s speech. Video has shown Trump supporters pulling people away from trying to break into the Capitol and calling on police to call for backup to put a stop to it.

4 Sluggards do not plow in season; so at harvest time they look but find nothing.

Our hats are off to all those hard working people who diligently spent 16 hours a day finding the evidence of voter fraud and painstakingly going through videos of the event at the Capitol to untangle the web of lies and deceit. We have learned that some police actually let the rioters into the building. We have learned that some of these people carrying out the riot are connected to Hillary Clinton and have been trained by the US government to carry out false flag attacks.

5 The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out.

This is where crooks make a major blunder, they think they can hide in the shadows, lurk in the deep. We have developed tremendous techniques that can expose lies. The basic principle in forensics is that every contact leaves a trace. You can’t steal hundreds of thousands of votes without leaving a lot of evidence that can be traced back to you. They don’t control the narrative, they don’t control the media as much as they want to. If this were Communist China you can sort of get away with it because no other story is allowed to get out and no other investigation is allowed to take place. But trying to do this before you completely control the media is overreach.

Proverbs 20:6-13 Differing weights and differing measures, the Lord detests them both.

6 Many claim to have unfailing love, but a faithful person who can find?

A lot of people were disheartened by the recent events in the US. But they are missing this key point. At the end of the age the Lord is looking to see if He can find faith. These people like Sydney Powell and Rudolp Giuliani who are being slandered and sued yet are still pursuing the truth, those are faithful people.

7 The righteous lead blameless lives; blessed are their children after them.

You can’t look at your life simply by what you have been able to amass. If like organized crime you have left a legacy to your children which is a curse you have to consider that. Bernie Madoff was very rich, his kids grew up privileged right until they discovered he was a crook. It was so crushing for his kids to go from privileged elite to despised by one and all that one even committed suicide.

8 When a king sits on his throne to judge, he winnows out all evil with his eyes.

Let’s flip this around, the ones who are winnowing out evil with their eyes are kings. Pelosi, the squad and their ilk did not winnow any evil. They are not kings, they are usurpers. These people doing the investigation whether journalists or lawyers or citizens, they are kings. They have a position, a seat, and they sit on that throne and rule.

9 Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin”?

You had better be covered with the blood of Jesus. This is not trivial, if you want to be covered with the Lord’s blood you have to obey the Lord and that includes confessing sins and repenting.

10 Differing weights and differing measures— the Lord detests them both.

The impeachment of Trump is a great example. They want to try Trump for “inciting the riot” because he called for a peaceful protest when in fact you can get quotes from Pelosi, Schumer and Maxine Waters that clearly incite rioting. They impeached Trump for “colluding with Russia” and found that he didn’t yet they ignore the fact that Biden clearly colluded with the Ukraine. Be assured, the Lord detests this.

11 Even small children are known by their actions, so is their conduct really pure and upright?

Again, this is a key principle in forensics, every contact leaves a trace. “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks”. We can see into your heart by the words you speak. Actions speak louder than words. We can also know your heart by your actions.

12 Ears that hear and eyes that see— the Lord has made them both.

We have the power of observation. You can see a lot if you look.

13 Do not love sleep or you will grow poor; stay awake and you will have food to spare.

This is the warning with the Stop the Steal rallies. Wake up or you will grow poor.

Proverbs 20:14-17 Lord fill their mouth with gravel

14 “It’s no good, it’s no good!” says the buyer— then goes off and boasts about the purchase.

I love to do return on investment analysis. I recently bought a bicycle and the cost was $3600 when you added in all the accessories. The people checking me out were worried, but I was quite happy. Why? I had done the Return on Investment analysis and calculated that riding this bicycle instead of driving my car to work would give me a 48% return on investment at the least, and perhaps many times greater than that at the most (if it allowed me to work an extra year). I used to work as a stock broker and it is very difficult if not impossible to find any investment that gives you a 48% return on investment. But, wouldn’t a cheaper bicycle do even better? It has been my experience that at 6:30 am I need motivation to drive off to work on my bicycle, remembering that I paid so much is one motivation, the other is having a really good bicycle that is a pleasure to ride. If you buy a cheap bicycle that you hate and never ride you don’t get any return on your investment.

15 Gold there is, and rubies in abundance, but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel.

I shared my spreadsheet with the bike shop. I told them they should use this to sell better bikes and more expensive bikes. Why? I don’t want them to go out of business.

16 Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger; hold it in pledge if it is done for an outsider.

What is going on with our border? What is going on with NY which is going to give $15,000 to illegal aliens who lost their jobs during the pandemic. I suspect this is a hoax, how does an illegal alien provide proof of a lost job and a loss of $15,000 if they are undocumented? My guess is NY is trying to get all the illegal aliens coming across the border to come to NY. Why? Because all the residents are fleeing to states like Florida.

17 Food gained by fraud tastes sweet, but one ends up with a mouth full of gravel.

Let’s hope so. Biden, Pelosi and Schumer are all rejoicing and feasting writing trillion dollar bills. They are clearly acting like the food gained by fraud is sweet, but let’s pray that the Lord honors His word that in the end their mouth is full of gravel.

Proverbs 20:18-22 Wait for the Lord, He will avenge you.

18 Plans are established by seeking advice; so if you wage war, obtain guidance.

The Stop the Steal rallies have moved to the next stage of waging war. We have realized we need to boycott many, many businesses. We have pushed lawsuits and election integrity laws through the legislative process. Others are publishing the evidence of election fraud and millions of Americans are pumping this evidence out so that every day their are millions of people pushing out the truth. We are also establishing new platforms (Rumble, Gab and Frankspeech).

19 A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid anyone who talks too much.

You have to discern between news, evidence, receipts and just gossip. I am not interested in stories that seem to slander or insult groups of people, I am interested in evidence of corruption and fraud by elected government officials. I am interested in holding government officials accountable for their actions. Along those lines I am not interested in much of the information on the Hunter Biden laptop concerning his personal life. Even if it was criminal that is for the FBI and police to deal with, not me. However, I am interested in the information that ties Joe Biden to China and exposes Joe Biden’s hypocrisy and corruption.

20 If someone curses their father or mother, their lamp will be snuffed out in pitch darkness.

The father and mother of this country refers to the founding fathers, the constitution, and the great men like Martin Luther king Jr. There are those who claim people who quote MLK Jr are racist because of that quote. That is the same as cursing your father or mother. There are those who say that the amendments to the constitution are not absolute, they are cursing their mother and father. There are those who are actively trying to replace American citizen voters with aliens brought in across the border, they are cursing their father and mother.

21 An inheritance claimed too soon will not be blessed at the end.

Our inheritance has yet to be claimed after 2,000 years. We have received the Spirit which is the promise of this inheritance, a foretaste, but have yet to claim our inheritance and this is the reason for it. We need to grow and be matured in order to claim our inheritance.

22 Do not say, “I’ll pay you back for this wrong!” Wait for the Lord, and he will avenge you.

Amen and amen! Lord hear our prayer. Honor your word.

Proverbs 20:23-30 Beatings purge the inmost being

23 The Lord detests differing weights, and dishonest scales do not please him.

This is the second time he says this in this chapter, so why is it necessary to repeat this. Yes, the Lord hates corruption of our government and rulers, but you also have to apply that word to Himself. What is the standard by which He is going to decide who is raptured and who isn’t?

24 A person’s steps are directed by the Lord. How then can anyone understand their own way?

Look at all of the stumbling over this matter of the rapture, if you can’t understand your own way how on earth are you going to understand God’s way?

25 It is a trap to dedicate something rashly and only later to consider one’s vows.

The New Testament ministry is likened to the Festival of Hanukkah which is the festival of rededication. The New Testament begins with the assumption that you have fallen and need to repent of your sins. Some may not fully appreciate that this is where it begins for all of us until they are left behind after the first rapture.

26 A wise king winnows out the wicked; he drives the threshing wheel over them.

The Lord is “the wise king”. There is a purpose to this age and the conclusion, the “Day of the Lord”. To winnow out evil is to take a pitch fork and throw the wheat into the air to let the wind blow away the chaff. But after that you still need to remove the wheat from the stalks so you drive a threshing wheel over the wheat. It is crushing and more intense than winnowing.

27 The human spirit is the lamp of the Lord that sheds light on one’s inmost being.

At the beginning of this chapter we were seeking guidance, light from the word as a lamp to our path. But now at the end the Lord is shining a light on your innermost being, examining you.

28 Love and faithfulness keep a king safe; through love his throne is made secure.

The best story about this for me is David Tyree. He was a player on the Giants, he was arrested for selling drugs and could have been cut as a result. However, the coach showed him mercy because he repented and was honest about his mistake. Later in the Superbowl Tyree made two catches that were instrumental in the Giants winning. The first was a touchdown, the second is considered the most incredible play in the history of the Superbowl. That coach’s throne was made secure through love.

29 The glory of young men is their strength, gray hair the splendor of the old.

There are two aspects to glory. One is to do well and be successful, the other is to live long on the earth.

30 Blows and wounds scrub away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being.

Wow! The Lord clearly is not familiar with our Political correctness. There are those who claim to be Christians but refuse to accept the teaching of the Day of the Lord because they reject the idea that beatings purge the inmost being.

Jeremiah 18 -- Lord you know all their plots to kill me

1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 “Go down to the potter’s house, and there I will give you my message.” 3 So I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel. 4 But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him. 5 Then the word of the Lord came to me. 6 He said, “Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does?” declares the Lord. “Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, Israel. 7 If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down and destroyed, 8 and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned. 9 And if at another time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be built up and planted,10 and if it does evil in my sight and does not obey me, then I will reconsider the good I had intended to do for it.

This is what we are seeing with the US constitution. Our country was formed as a new form of government, it was an experiment in democracy, and it can be reformed. The scandal with the Biden family needs to be investigated. How deep and far reaching is it? We have an indication from a variety of documents and activities during the Obama administration that Biden, Clinton, Kerry and Obama were all compromised. They were selling influence to billionaires, banks involved in money laundering, a wide variety of countries, and even the Chinese government and spy master. This influence appears to include the FBI, the major media outlets like ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, NY Times, Washington Post, and the tech giants of Facebook and Twitter. This election appears to be fraudulent. The massive “mailed in ballots” not being counted by election night allows them to see which states must be won and by how many votes, and then they can make changes according to how many votes they need and who already voted. This is a combination of the appearance of evil in some cases and overwhelming evidence in other cases. The incredible arrogance to just ignore questions about this, claim that it is a smear campaign without denying any of the authenticity of the evidence, and to then think they will be able to steal the election is very insulting to the God in whom we trust.

11 “Now therefore say to the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem, ‘This is what the Lord says: Look! I am preparing a disaster for you and devising a plan against you. So turn from your evil ways, each one of you, and reform your ways and your actions.’ 12 But they will reply, ‘It’s no use. We will continue with our own plans; we will all follow the stubbornness of our evil hearts.’” 13 Therefore this is what the Lord says: “Inquire among the nations: Who has ever heard anything like this? A most horrible thing has been done by Virgin Israel.

Consider how evil this plan was. For months you promote bogus polls of Biden winning by double digits. You pass laws allowing ballots to be turned in by mail, that postmarks are not required, and that the signature doesn’t need to match our records. You also pass laws that these can be received after the election is over, allowing those committing fraud to see who has voted and make sure they don’t send in ballots for them. Then on election day you declare states for Biden when only a small percentage of the vote is in yet refuse to declare key states for Trump even though they may have 95% of the vote in. Why? So that it gives the appearance that Biden is winning in both the popular vote and electoral college votes. How can they behave this arrogantly? Simple, they control the narrative, they control what you hear, and they think they can control what you will think.

14 Does the snow of Lebanon ever vanish from its rocky slopes? Do its cool waters from distant sources ever stop flowing? 15 Yet my people have forgotten me; they burn incense to worthless idols, which made them stumble in their ways, in the ancient paths. They made them walk in byways, on roads not built up.

What we have learned is that the Chinese approach is an ancient way. They involve your family, buy up your family, and get you compromised through them. They take a long term view investing in people for ten or twenty years, even longer. With every contact their tentacles reach further and further into the government and administration. While they enrich themselves they send our economy overseas and turn beautiful cities like Detroit into a wasteland.

16 Their land will be an object of horror and of lasting scorn; all who pass by will be appalled and will shake their heads.

It is unimaginable. In the 50s Detroit was the envy of the whole world, today it is an object of horror. For countries like China, Japan and Europe with thousands of years of history a collapse like that in a single generation is an object of horror and scorn.

17 Like a wind from the east, I will scatter them before their enemies; I will show them my back and not my face in the day of their disaster.”

Now is the time to pray and repent. Once the day of disaster hits they will be scattered like dust in the wind. At that time the Lord will not hear your prayers.

18 They said, “Come, let’s make plans against Jeremiah; for the teaching of the law by the priest will not cease, nor will counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophets. So come, let’s attack him with our tongues and pay no attention to anything he says.”

Basically they put their fingers in their ears and yell “lalalalala”.

19 Listen to me, Lord; hear what my accusers are saying!

Maybe they won’t hear him, but the Lord will.

20 Should good be repaid with evil? Yet they have dug a pit for me. Remember that I stood before you and spoke in their behalf to turn your wrath away from them. 21 So give their children over to famine; hand them over to the power of the sword. Let their wives be made childless and widows; let their men be put to death, their young men slain by the sword in battle.

By all means, let Hunter Biden be judged, let Jim and Joe Biden be judged. Let Kerry’s step son be judged. Let Kerry and Clinton be judged.

22 Let a cry be heard from their houses when you suddenly bring invaders against them, for they have dug a pit to capture me and have hidden snares for my feet. 23 But you, Lord, know all their plots to kill me. Do not forgive their crimes or blot out their sins from your sight. Let them be overthrown before you; deal with them in the time of your anger.

Lord, we pray that you would suddenly execute the subpoenas, and bring to light all their sins in discovery. Thank you for Project Veritas and their exposure of CNN’s fraud and deceit.

Hebrews 9 -- The mystery of powerful prayer

1 Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary. 2 A tabernacle was set up. In its first room were the lampstand and the table with its consecrated bread; this was called the Holy Place.3 Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place, 4 which had the golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant. This ark contained the gold jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded,and the stone tablets of the covenant. 5 Above the ark were the cherubim of the Glory, overshadowing the atonement cover. But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.

All of this is significant, but gets us off the key point, hence we can’t discuss these things right now.

6 When everything had been arranged like this, the priests entered regularly into the outer room to carry on their ministry. 7 But only the high priest entered the inner room, and that only once a year, and never without blood,which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance. 8 The Holy Spirit was showing by this that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still functioning.

The New Testament gives us the way into the Holy of Holies. This is a stunning conclusion. Once again making this discovery all the bigger. You have to combine everything about the regulations concerning the temple with the verse they quote from Ezekiel that “they will all know me from the least to the greatest”. By itself these two things do not conclusively prove this conclusion, but if you then look at the Lord’s word “I am the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father but by me” it does. There is nothing in the first covenant that would allow anyone but the High Priest once a year to come unto the Father, however the new covenant clearly discloses the way into the most Holy Place.

9 This is an illustration for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered were not able to clear the conscience of the worshiper. 10 They are only a matter of food and drink and various ceremonial washings—external regulations applying until the time of the new order.

The derivative conclusion of this is that the lambs and bulls being offered didn’t really clear the conscience. But we are told that they are peace offerings, sin offerings, and trespass offerings. The only way to reconcile all of these verses is that when God saw the Jews offering up bulls and lambs it pointed to the future. God knew that Jesus was the lamb of God that would take away the sins of the world. I find this extremely intimidating, this is like a chess player looking 40 moves in advance. He knows that there will be cult leaders trying to change a word here, a word there, to distort the word of God. You set up the Bible as this incredibly complex jigsaw puzzle and you are able to catch all the liars, all the scam artists, all those who would portray themselves as angels of light.

11 But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here,[a] he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say, is not a part of this creation. 12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining[b] eternal redemption. 13 The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. 14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death,[c] so that we may serve the living God!

Once again, let’s return to the purpose. Hebrews is written to river crossers, we are going on from the elemental teachings to maturity. We are going on from the foundation laid by Paul to the ministry of James concerning doing a perfect work. We are going on to become men of righteousness who like Elijah could pray and God would hear their prayers. The blessing on the temple by Solomon was that if we would repent and pray towards this house that God would hear. How much more powerful if we pray towards the perfect tabernacle not made with hands? They needed the blood of bulls and goats to even be able to function in that covenant, how much more powerful is the blood of Christ not only to cleanse our conscience but to enable us to serve the living God!

15 For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.

Wow! An excellent attorney is generally the privilege of only the wealthiest and the most powerful people on this earth. I taught forensics and one lesson I always told my students was that in America you get the justice you can afford. In this country nothing is more difficult than to convict a rich person with the best legal team of a crime. Look at our lawyer! He knows the puzzle pieces better than anyone. The hidden mysteries in the bible are truly amazing.

16 In the case of a will,[d] it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, 17 because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living. 18 This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood. 19 When Moses had proclaimed every command of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves, together with water, scarlet wool and branches of hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people. 20 He said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.”[e] 21 In the same way, he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and everything used in its ceremonies. 22 In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

Can we see the connection between a legal document, a covenant, which in this case is a will, and forgiveness? When man sinned he was kicked out of the garden, he was excommunicated from God. This is equating being cut off from communicating with God, being cut off from entering the most Holy Place, with our inheritance. The “will” which gave us our inheritance “forgave” us. Our inheritance is God, it is being able to communicate with God, it is being able to pray like Elijah and having God listen and respond.

23 It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence.

Every time I read the New Testament I am amazed by how people got healed and demons cast out. How do they do that? Well we have Christ, our High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek appearing for us in God’s presence. This is not a favor, this is our inheritance, we have a legal right to this.

25 Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. 26 Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But he has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27 Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

This is a once for all sacrifice. The accuser of the brethren tries to deceive us that this price has to be paid over and over ad infinitum. That is just a lie. But again, that is an elemental teaching. If you go onto maturity you see that Jesus does come a second time, not to suffer, not to pay the price for sin again, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him.

Proverbs 21:1-16 -- Prayers for 2021


1 The king’s heart is in the hand of Jehovah as the watercourses: He turneth it whithersoever he will.


Lord the hearts of these representatives are in your hands, just like running water. We pray that you would direct them to perform justice.


2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes; But Jehovah weigheth the hearts.


Lord, even those who committed fraud to steal the election think they are right. Lord we pray you would weigh the hearts.


3 To do righteousness and justice Is more acceptable to Jehovah than sacrifice.


Lord open our eyes to see that Christians standing for righteousness is acceptable in your eyes.


4 A high look, and a proud heart, Even the lamp of the wicked, is sin.


Lord convict the arrogant ones who think that 75 million Americans who voted for Trump are “morons” or “chumps” or “deplorables”. Open our eyes to appreciate our neighbor. Lord thank you that there are people standing for righteousness and justice for my sake, even if I don’t appreciate them.


5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; But every one that is hasty hasteth only to want.


Lord open our eyes to see your word is full of light, full of life, full of blessing.


6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue Is a vapor driven to and fro by them that seek death.


Lord this election fraud is a vapor, we pray you would breathe on it.


7 The violence of the wicked shall sweep them away, Because they refuse to do justice.


Lord we have prayed for them to repent, we have prayed that they would do justice, they have refused. They have refused to comply with court mandated audits. We pray that you would sweep them away.


8 The way of him that is laden with guilt is exceeding crooked; But as for the pure, his work is right.


Lord, what we have seen is exceedingly crooked. Hillary’s emails were concerning selling uranium to Russia. She was using a private server so that it would not become a public record and yet she was coded into Obama’s blackberry so He also knew what she was doing and approved it. That is crooked, but then it gets exceedingly crooked. Once her emails were discovered she feared Trump would reveal them so she concocted the Pee Pee hoax so that if he released emails between her and others concerning the sale to Russia she could claim he was colluding with Russia. Lord I thank you that it will be your job to judge.


9 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a contentious woman in a wide house.


These last four years we have seen what it is like to be the President in a wide house but having to abide with a contentious woman. Lord, this punishment has been on the whole country to have to listen to this day by day.


10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil: His neighbor findeth no favor in his eyes. Lord we have seen this.


People who are against capitalism are not against the corporate giants like Amazon.com or Google, no they are smashing windows of the pizzeria and cleaners. The people who are against the malfeasance of law enforcement are not against the FBI and those who tap your phone but they are against the little policeman in your neighborhood trying to keep you safe. They are attacking their neighbor, they desire evil, Lord weigh their hearts.


11 When the scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise; And when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge. 12 The righteous man considereth the house of the wicked, How the wicked are overthrown to their ruin.


Every contact leaves a trace. Yes, Pelosi was speaker of the house, one of the most powerful women in America but now the spotlight is on her for appointing Swalwell to the intelligence committee. Yes, Biden got millions from China and profited greatly but the day comes when the entire world sees your sins and shame. He may have considered himself “the big guy” but he will become the focus of derision and scorn.


13 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, He also shall cry, but shall not be heard.


Lord what are they doing with this shutdown? How are they playing politics with the stimulus money? The poor are crying, they have shut their ears, so Lord I pray that you also would not hear their cry.


14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger; And a present in the bosom, strong wrath.


I have heard numerous calls for the insurrection act and for martial law, and that is just today. There is strong wrath in this country, not to just “primary” those who are not acting but to recall them. Lord open the eyes to the strong wrath or else we will have a civil war.


15 It is joy to the righteous to do justice; But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.


There are so many standing for righteousness. Courage is contagious. But it is also a joy and a comfort within to know you are right with the Lord.


16 The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding Shall rest in the assembly of the dead.


This is a very dangerous time, Lord keep us in You, keep us in the way, keep us in the word.

Proverbs 21:17-31 A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty

17 He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: He that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.


Lord, lead us not into temptation.


18 The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; And the treacherous cometh in the stead of the upright.


Amen Lord, thy will be done. As you have promised let it be done unto your servants.


19 It is better to dwell in a desert land, Than with a contentious and fretful woman.


Agreed. Why allow Youtube and Facebook and Twitter to censor you and tell you what to think. There are other platforms that by comparison may be a desert land but at least you are not dwelling with a contentious and fretful woman.


20 There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise; But a foolish man swalloweth it up.


Lord save us from these fools like AOC. Yes, climate change is an issue, but giving AOC $100 trillion dollars is allowing the foolish man to swallow up our treasure.


21 He that followeth after righteousness and kindness Findeth life, righteousness, and honor.


Thank you Lord that there are still men and women like this today.


22 A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, And bringeth down the strength of the confidence thereof.


Lord thank you for your wisdom, the cross of Christ is the strategy that will bring down the city of the mighty.


23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue Keepeth his soul from troubles.


Lord thank you for warning us about social media. We have seen so many fall into this trap and bring troubles on themselves.


24 The proud and haughty man, scoffer is his name; He worketh in the arrogance of pride.


These tech giants have been exposed, working in the arrogance of pride. We have seen they use algorithms to force feed people what they want them to see, to not let them see what they don’t want them to see, and to punish anyone who disagrees with them. Lord, weigh the hearts.


25 The desire of the sluggard killeth him; For his hands refuse to labor.


Lord there is a much bigger privilege than white privilege, it is the privilege of living in the USA. This is the land that you made a covenant with us when the Pilgrims came here. You taught us that the Puritan ethic of labor would be rewarded.


26 There is that coveteth greedily all the day long; But the righteous giveth and withholdeth not.


Lord we here these ones in the street calling for reparations every day. Again, you know all, you know who gives and withholds not, you see the poor widows casting all their living in to help others.


27 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; How much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind!


Lord you are the one who knows the mind of man. Zuckerberg gave $400 million to tilt the scales in the election. He chose to violate laws to accomplish this end. Lord we trust in You to judge.


28 A false witness shall perish; But the man that heareth shall speak so as to endure.


Lord, the NY Times is a false witness. They pretended a clerk was a high level administration official as an anonymous source in order to smear the executive office. Twitter and Facebook are false witnesses, censoring critical stories concerning Biden for false and deceitful reasons. We pray that you would remember your word.


29 A wicked man hardeneth his face; But as for the upright, he establisheth his ways.


Lord we saw a wicked person harden their face in the Michigan hearings, the representative from Detroit. We heard her threats. Lord we pray you would establish our ways.


30 There is no wisdom nor understanding Nor counsel against Jehovah.


Lord keep us in You. You are the guarantee of victory.


31 The horse is prepared against the day of battle; But victory is of Jehovah.


Lord we have prepared ourselves for this day of battle, so we give it all to You because the victory is of You. May we listen and be attentive to the words You speak.

Jeremiah 25:1-11 -- Seventy years are fulfilled

1 The word came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. 2 So Jeremiah the prophet said to all the people of Judah and to all those living in Jerusalem: 3 For twenty-three years—from the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah until this very day—the word of the Lord has come to me and I have spoken to you again and again, but you have not listened.

According to James when you come to the Bible it is like coming to a mirror and seeing yourself. It is perfectly valid for historians to look at this word in context of the history, but that has been done and I am not interested in that. What I am interested in is what is this word speaking to us today? The word of God is sharper than any two edged sword piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit. That is what I am interested in. To understand this word we have to have an understanding of what Babylon and Judah represent. Judah was one of the twelve tribes of Israel and when Israel split into two kingdoms they were the ones that continued to worship in Jerusalem. They are also the tribe that King David was from and the tribe Jesus was descended from. They were the law givers, the covenant keepers. In the simplest terms I would say that Judah represents God’s people on earth where Jesus is their king. In a word it is the church. So then what does Babylon represent? This is the place that Abraham was called out from, it is a place that built a tower to the heavens in competition with God, a tower built and founded upon idolatry. But in the context of today we should also look at what Revelation 18 says:

2 And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird. 3 For by the wine of the wrath of her fornication all the nations are fallen; and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth waxed rich by the power of her wantonness.

So the first thing that stands out is “the great”. There are only a few nations right now that can consider themselves great. China, but they are usually referred to as Magog or the Great Dragon. Revelation refers to the Dragon and Babylon as both being “great” but also being different. You might also consider Europe as a kind of reformed Roman empire to be great as well. However, they are associated with Rome, not Babylon. Many bible scholars consider Babylon to refer to the USA. I think that would have been a very difficult theory to support a hundred years ago. A hundred years ago we were not

“a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird.”

However, Revelation is quite specific and says that Babylon “has become” this habitation of demons. In the last 70 years there has been an amazing “becoming” in the US that has shocked the rest of the world. In the sixties we had several key assassinations that forever changed our government. Since that time the military industrial complex has been firmly in charge of our country. 50 years ago we had our first gay pride parade. In the 1980s we had the AIDS epidemic and we had the Iran Contra affair.

3 For by the wine of the wrath of her fornication all the nations are fallen;

The Iran contra affair is a perfect example of what Revelation is referring to when it says that the wine of the wrath of her fornication all the nations are fallen. The CIA cut a deal to sell arms to Iran, illegally, to raise money to fund a coup in Nicaragua, also illegal. In the 1990s we had the collapse of the USSR and we also had the Gulf war.

and the merchants of the earth waxed rich by the power of her wantonness.

NAFTA also went into effect in the 90s. This bill gutted our manufacturing in the US outsourcing it to China, Asia, and Mexico. In the 2000’s we had 9/11 attack and also the mortgage meltdown. I could go on but the recent election and allegations of fraud and the complete refusal of the government leaders and officials to investigate this supports this verse that yes, the US could indeed be considered “Babylon the Great”. When you talk about the merchants of the whole earth getting rich from her it is very hard to make a case for any country other than the US.

4 And though the Lord has sent all his servants the prophets to you again and again, you have not listened or paid any attention. 5 They said, “Turn now, each of you, from your evil ways and your evil practices, and you can stay in the land the Lord gave to you and your ancestors for ever and ever. 6 Do not follow other gods to serve and worship them; do not arouse my anger with what your hands have made. Then I will not harm you.” 7 “But you did not listen to me,” declares the Lord, “and you have aroused my anger with what your hands have made, and you have brought harm to yourselves.”

This is talking about the church. So during the same time that the US was “becoming a dwelling of demons” the Lord was warning the church. There have been people warning about the teaching concerning excessive grace that does not require holy living. Gospel messages that don’t include the call for repentance from sin. The prosperity gospel that equates monetary blessings with spiritual blessings and turns the worship of God into the worship of mammon. Of course when we talk about the Lord warning the church we have to go to Revelation 2-3 where we see the warning concerning Jezebel and her fornication and the deep things of Satan. We are warned that if we don’t repent the Lord will come as a thief and we won’t know the day or hour. Philadelphia is warned to hold fast what they have and not to let anyone take their crown.

8 Therefore the Lord Almighty says this: “Because you have not listened to my words, 9 I will summon all the peoples of the north and my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,” declares the Lord, “and I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants and against all the surrounding nations. I will completely destroy them and make them an object of horror and scorn, and an everlasting ruin.10 I will banish from them the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom, the sound of millstones and the light of the lamp. 11 This whole country will become a desolate wasteland, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

This is the portion that brought me to this word. This is the word in Jeremiah that Daniel refers to when he says he realized that they would be in Babylon for 70 years. The prophecy in Daniel is fully concerned with Jerusalem and it was 70 years ago on January 23, 1950 that Israel recognized Jerusalem as their capital. That would be an interesting coincidence except for the fact that we also have Israel making peace treaties with several countries concerning Jerusalem this year, which is another portion that Daniel prophesied about. So then if Babylon represents the US (we are examining this hypothesis) then after 70 years, after Jan 23, 2021 the Lord will bring the King of Babylon who includes “the peoples of the North” apparently this king is a globalist and is working with China, Russia and Europe. The lord will bring this king against the church. What are they planning on shutting down churches, making it illegal to preach the gospel, requiring pastors to marry people in violation of the New Testament? Are they going to require that the churches pay for abortions? Will they go as far as what they are doing in China where churches have to have a portrait of Xi in the sanctuary and sing the national anthem as part of their worship service. What does it mean to make them “an object of horror and scorn and everlasting ruin”? I am reminded of Lot. The account of the angels going to deliver him is certainly an account of horror. But in addition it is an account of scorn as the people tell him to shut up why should they listen to Lot. Of course once fire falls on Sodom and Gomorrah it was a place of everlasting ruin. Lot is a type of the rapture according to Jesus, but not of the glorious rapture at the beginning of the tribulation but rather the rapture of those who barely escape the fire in the middle of the tribulation. So then it appears that after Jan 23, 2021 the Great tribulation would begin and that during this time the Christians who remain are made an object of horror and scorn and everlasting ruin. If that is true then during these seventy years from 1950 to 2020 the church became “a desolate wasteland”. Desolate is a place of bleak and dismal emptiness. That has certainly been a major concern for many denominations in the US over these last 70 years. What has been true of these denominations is that they have not listened to the Lord’s word. Again and again they have argued that this word or that word no longer applies to today. They have treated the Lord’s word and His name as though it were vain and empty.

Jeremiah 25:12-37 Butchers drive sheep with fear to the slaughter

12 “But when the seventy years are fulfilled, I will punish the king of Babylon and his nation, the land of the Babylonians,[b] for their guilt,” declares the Lord, “and will make it desolate forever. 13 I will bring on that land all the things I have spoken against it, all that are written in this book and prophesied by Jeremiah against all the nations. 14 They themselves will be enslaved by many nations and great kings; I will repay them according to their deeds and the work of their hands.”

This word “fulfilled” means that there has been a full 70 years. So that would be January 24th of 2021. Once again, going back to our hypothesis that Babylon refers to the US they are saying the US will be enslaved by many nations (Europe, China, and Russia?). There is evidence that the pandemic was actually the first step in a war to incapacitate the US. There have been joint military maneuvers of China and Russia and there have been strict trade embargoes placed on both China and Russia which have pushed both countries to the brink of famine and social unrest. Europe just made a deal with China to work as partners with China picking up Europe’s debt. So it is possible that these three are already allied against the US. Also we had a massive cyber attack on the US which would be the second stage of an attack. In addition the election fraud appears to be an attack by China, Iran and our enemies to seize control of the US.

15 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take from my hand this cup filled with the wine of my wrath and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it. 16 When they drink it, they will stagger and go mad because of the sword I will send among them.”

I hate to recount the hypocrisy and bald faced lies of the press that we are forced to drink and just make us mad. But for illustration purposes let's look at one example. When Jacob Blake was shot it provoked anger and riots. There was outrage at the police. The facts of the case were that there was a warrant for his arrest, he was resisting arrest, he was in violation of a court order to stay away from his girlfriend and he was potentially kidnapping his three children who were in the back seat. He had attacked police previously with a knife and was shot reaching for a knife. Still the reaction was to riot and loot and for the press to scream about police brutality. Compare that with January 6 where a woman who was trespassing in the capitol building was shot and killed. She did not have a criminal record, she did not have a weapon, and as far as has been reported she was not involved in violent behavior. But this time the outrage from the media was directed at her. Both Jacob Blake and this woman were in the wrong. We don’t like to see either person get shot or hurt but in both cases I can understand the police seeing the need to use deadly force. What I don’t understand is the incredible hypocrisy of the press. This woman, a veteran, was treated as something to scrape off of your shoe whereas Jacob Blake was treated like a martyr and a saint.

17 So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand and made all the nations to whom he sent me drink it:18 Jerusalem and the towns of Judah, its kings and officials, to make them a ruin and an object of horror and scorn, a curse—as they are today; 19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, his attendants, his officials and all his people, 20 and all the foreign people there; all the kings of Uz; all the kings of the Philistines (those of Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the people left at Ashdod); 21 Edom, Moab and Ammon; 22 all the kings of Tyre and Sidon; the kings of the coastlands across the sea; 23 Dedan, Tema, Buz and all who are in distant places; 24 all the kings of Arabia and all the kings of the foreign people who live in the wilderness;25 all the kings of Zimri, Elam and Media; 26 and all the kings of the north, near and far, one after the other—all the kingdoms on the face of the earth. And after all of them, the king of Sheshak will drink it too.

No way I want to try and figure out what each and everyone represents, only that what happens to the US will affect the entire world. We are already seeing massive censorship from Tech giants like Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube. There is a reason we call these corporations "multinational".

27 “Then tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Drink, get drunk and vomit, and fall to rise no more because of the sword I will send among you.’ 28 But if they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink, tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: You must drink it! 29 See, I am beginning to bring disaster on the city that bears my Name, and will you indeed go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword on all who live on the earth, declares the Lord Almighty.’

There are a lot of people who are resisting the censorship. But they will be forced to drink this swill. What has happened this week has been called Orwellian. The way in which China monitors its populace is certainly Orwellian. But taking control of the media is a third step in a war, you want to control the flow of information. What you are seeing is the Lord Almighty beginning to bring disaster on the city that bears His name. Once again this is about Jerusalem and the disaster will ultimately end up there. However, since the Mayflower compact the US was consecrated as a city on the hill, a light to the nations, the New Jerusalem. So I see references to Jerusalem are at times a reference to Washington DC, rather than Jerusalem in Israel.

30 “Now prophesy all these words against them and say to them: “‘The Lord will roar from on high; he will thunder from his holy dwelling and roar mightily against his land. He will shout like those who tread the grapes, shout against all who live on the earth. 31 The tumult will resound to the ends of the earth, for the Lord will bring charges against the nations; he will bring judgment on all mankind and put the wicked to the sword,’” declares the Lord.

A description of the Great Tribulation.

32 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Look! Disaster is spreading from nation to nation; a mighty storm is rising from the ends of the earth.” 33 At that time those slain by the Lord will be everywhere—from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned or gathered up or buried, but will be like dung lying on the ground.

I learned during the mortgage meltdown the extent to which they would lie. All of the indicators showed that the mortgage backed securities were worthless and should collapse and yet on paper they were still highly rated and “trading” at a high price. However, if you tried to short them you would not be allowed to so everyone knew they were going to collapse, they were just hoping to sell a few more to the unwitting public. It is the same today. The stock market is still high even though the economic devastation worldwide has been unprecedented. On top of the pandemic, and the looming economic collapse we have natural disasters that threaten to be truly Biblical in scale. I know this term has been used frequently in 2020 but the catastrophe that is about to happen is so great that in an hour the entire situation worldwide will change.

34 Weep and wail, you shepherds; roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock. For your time to be slaughtered has come; you will fall like the best of the rams. 35 The shepherds will have nowhere to flee, the leaders of the flock no place to escape. 36 Hear the cry of the shepherds, the wailing of the leaders of the flock, for the Lord is destroying their pasture. 37 The peaceful meadows will be laid waste because of the fierce anger of the Lord.

The Pandemic has been especially hard on churches that have shut down. They are being destroyed and you can hear the pastors wailing about the loss of offerings that has bankrupted them. Now consider that you are a pastor of a church that made excuses for why we no longer needed to listen to the Lord’s word. In place after place you made compromises with Jezebel and the prophets of Baal. The rapture comes and you and your flock are left behind. There will be no place for you to hide. The time of your slaughter will have come. Finally let’s consider one other thing, the Lord said “my sheep hear my voice” and they follow Him. Sheep follow shepherds because they hear the Lord’s voice. But butchers drive sheep with fear. They don’t know the butcher so they run from them and are driven by fear to the slaughter. Do you hear the Lord’s voice? Or are you running in fear from the butcher towards your slaughter?
