Until that day when I drink it new with you

Luke 22:18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

Mark 14:25 Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

Mattew 26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

It appears that the day of the rapture we drink new wine with the Lord.

However, the oil is not new, they had purchased it and filled their vessels prior to this day.

Matthew 25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

This is a strong black and white word concerning the day of the rapture that we drink new wine on it, which would have to be immediately after harvesting the fruit of the vine, whereas it is not at the time of the new oil. The foolish virgins are locked out and told to go buy from those that sell and the perfect time to sell oil is after the harvest of the new oil.

The rapture is the harvest of this fruit of the vine, but as a result of the rapture and the beginning of the tribulation with all the fulfilled prophecies you now have a harvest of new oil to sell.
This word about new wine rules out a rapture prior to new wine whereas this word about the oil indicates it would take place prior to the feast of oil.

Another type -- the spies went into the land and came out with a giant bunch of grapes hanging on a pole between them. A picture of Jesus hanging on the cross between two thieves, spilling His blood. This was when they were supposed to enter the good land, but they gave an evil report -- 9th of Av. It is at the time of the harvest of the fruit of the vine.

Jesus is the vine, we are the branches.

https://rumble.com/v1epu5z-seven-most-important-warnings-08042022.html

He has 7 warnings, he admits he doesn't have them in order, but we can put them in order based on our theory that the rapture takes place on the 9th of Av, the feast of New wine.

1. Rapture -- this is likened to people holding a wall that is keeping a flood from crashing down on the people. This is the "restrainer" who is restraining the spirit of Antichrist. It also reminds me of the 3 gorges dam which I think will collapse at the time of the rapture, flooding the Yangtze river basin where 500 million people live and the industrial heartland of China. If Europe is to be the world power during the tribulation then obviously the US and China must be eliminated as potential powers. So what we see prior to the rapture is hundreds of thousands of Christians "holding the wall". Election integrity is part of the wall, attacking parents at school board meetings is part of the wall, prayer is part of the wall, warning about Jesus' soon return and preaching the gospel is part of the wall. Exposing and convicting the pedophiles is part of the wall.

2. After the rapture the Children of Israel went to war against the advice of God and suffered a big loss. That is the internal revolution that concludes with the Moloch and Baal worshippers setting off the suitcase nukes which in turn causes the collapse of the dollar.

3. However, on the flip side you will have the greatest revival as the believers who are left behind realize they are locked out of the heavens, they cannot enter that way and so they must go to those who sell oil, the feast of new oil, fifty days after the rapture. We are seeing prophecies that DJT returns as President and the whole country is rejoicing and cheering. However, this is not the rejoicing of those who are raptured, this is like the word "a day late and a dollar short". Now you wake up to the thieves and murderers that those who were raptured had been warning you about. During this time we'll see the fire we saw on Pentecost with the miracles we saw at the beginning of Acts.

4. Meanwhile, we will see the greatest technology release to try and sell the AntiChrist kingdom as a way to combat this great revival. This is like the carrot and stick approach. We will blow up your cities and burn your country to the ground with nukes like we did in the US if you don't take our Antichrist as leader, on the other hand if you do put your head in our yoke we have all these wonderful cures and technologies.

A confirmation of the rapture this weekend?

About a year ago I had asked the Lord to give me a rapture dream and He did. I have shared about that dream twice, maybe even three or four posts in this blog refer to it. But this morning I may have gotten a three day heads up. Regardless, what happened this morning was a very clear reminder of this dream so I'll give you a detailed account.

In the dream I am in the garden where Jesus' tomb is, I just knew it in the dream but do not recall seeing the tomb. Someone came up to me from a church I used to attend for 20 years, I didn't recognize this person, but I knew they were from that church (I had stood against the son of the "Prophet" being put in charge of the ministry since he had been guilty of sexually abusing several sisters who had volunteered, that caused me to be all but excommunicated, I was asked to leave the meeting hall because they did not want to talk about that). This brother asked me if I could help them with some yard work. I told them I already had a job but thanks. He asked me why I was thanking him and I said it was because he had remembered me.

I have already gone in detail what I felt the interpretation of this dream was. However, this morning the pastor of the church I meet at sent me a text at 9am asking if I could help him this Saturday at 8am clean up the yard of a house near the meeting hall. This is the first time anyone has ever asked me this since that dream and at the time of the dream I had not met with this church (this church is in South Dakota, I was living in NYC at the time of the dream). Anyway I responded that I had a meeting (a prayer meeting with the Gideon's every Saturday morning from 7:30am to about 9 am). I told him I had a meeting at that time, but when the meeting is over I'd be there.

Who exactly gets raptured out of the 7 churches in Revelation?

If you overcome in Smyrna you get a victor's crown, in Philadelphia they are told to hold onto their crown that no one takes it. In Smyrna they were slandered by the synagogue of Satan, they were in poverty and afflictions. In Philadelphia the synagogue of Satan comes and falls at their feet and confesses that God is with them. The ones in Philadelphia are the ones who overcame in Smyrna. You have to be an overcomer to be raptured and to be an overcomer you have to overcome the accuser of the brethren by the blood and by the word of your testimony. However, the first three churches do not appear to be on Earth when the rapture takes place, only the last four. So Smyrna may represent the dead in Christ while Philadelphia represents those who are alive at the Lord's coming.

Thyatira tolerates Jezebel, who was Jezebel, she persecuted the prophets of God. In Thyatira it is only the simple ones who don't know what is going on there, don't know the deep things of Satan that will overcome. If you do know what is going on then you had better be the faithful Antipas who is against all and is martyred. But they must hold onto what they have (deeds, love and faith, service and perseverance) and they are told that if they do the Lord's will to the end they will get an iron scepter. In Philadelphia He says He knows their deeds and that they have kept his command to endure patiently. So Philadelphia are those who have overcome in Thyatira. The word to them in Thyatira is what they need to do to overcome, the word in Philadelphia is about what they have done.

In Sardis there is a remarkable statement, if you overcome there He promises not to blot your name out of the book of life. That is shocking, I thought once your name was in the book of life it couldn't be blotted out. Righteous judgement is "as you have done it will be done to you". Some churches excommunicate those who "cause trouble", the Antipas who is against all. When you excommunicate someone you blot their name out. There is a very specific protocol to follow in order to do this. If you violate that protocol you are not "keeping the Lord's word" and "you are denying the Lord's name". When you decide that you make the rules and that you don't need to listen to the Lord you are denying that Jesus is Lord.

The ones who are raptured in Philadelphia they have kept the Lord's word. What does that mean? Does it mean some of these other churches have not kept the Lord's word? Does it mean that allowing Balaam to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, or tolerating Jezebel and her fornication and adultery involved not keeping the Lord's word? Does it mean that in some of these churches they are saying we don't need to keep the New Testament because it was written two thousand years ago and is out of date now? We can ignore this verse and that verse and some other verse? It also says they have not denied the Lord's name! Could it really be true that there are churches out there denying the Lord's name? Are they saying it doesn't matter if you believe in Allah, or Jesus, or Buddha, it is all the same? Is this what you mean by "all types of churches"? Some churches that keep the Lord's word, others that don't think it is necessary, some that have not denied the Lord's name others that are more all embracing than that? Do you mean that we have to be broad minded, some churches hold to the teachings of Balaam, some to the teachings of the Nicolaitans, some tolerate Jezebel, is that what you mean by many types of churches? Because the Lord condemns all that and tells you to repent of all that.

What do the overcomers in the other churches look like? They look like ones who are faithful unto death, they look like Antipas who was "against all". They are the ones who were excommunicated in Sardis and persecuted in Thyatira. They reject the teaching of Balaam, they reject the teaching of the Nicolaitans, they are not tolerant of Jezebel.

I don't think that the things he is saying are a "fulfillment" of what John saw in Revelation 12, but it could certainly be a sign that those who are familiar with Revelation 12 could not possibly miss the symbology.

Are Current events in Taiwan a sign of this event?

Revelation 12:1And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

What we are seeing on Earth is too much to be a coincidence. Based on all the signs we have seen in the last five years and all the prophecies we have to believe the time is very, very short before the Lord’s return. It is not a stretch to consider the “great red dragon” to be a reference to China.

3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

China has surrouded Taiwan with 7 strategic locations for their ships. China has also made some strategic alliances like BRICS. China is viewed as one of the two major superpowers at this point, perhaps the biggest economy on the planet and perhaps the biggest army and navy on the planet.

4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

The leader of China is a woman, she is childless and unmarried, so you could view her as a “virgin”. I think it is very clear that this verse refers to God’s people that are bringing forth the man child, the overcomers who like the church of Thyatira overcomers will rule the nations with a rod of iron.

5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

I think this refers to the rapture before the tribulation. I know that many interpret this to be Jesus but I don’t think it fits very well.

6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

She flees into the wilderness for 42 months, or 3 1/2 years. Just another good reason to think this is talking about the start of the 70th week.

7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

I believe that what we are witnessing in the US with the cancel culture, the poisonous rhetoric used by the Main stream media, and the election steal we are seeing various states is the result of this “great red dragon” deceiving the US and the world. I think Trump does return to the Whitehouse and Biden and his minions are cast out. This will have a wide ranging impact, not just on the US but on the whole world.

10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

This is the cancel culture strategy. Without a doubt this verse is talking about something much bigger and more universal than that, but the principal is the same. The people who employ this tactic of accusing people night and day are one with Satan and when He is thrown out they are too.

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. 13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

This persecution sounds like the 42 months of the tribulation. There is great rejoicing in heaven for those who are raptured. Those are the ones who dwell in the heavens. The rapture exposes all the lies that Satan has told and demonstrates to the whole world that God is faithful and will fulfill everything He said He would fulfill. Satan can no longer speak authoritatively from heaven or act authoritatively like he has a position in heaven. However, like a cornered animal he is very dangerous and he has great wrath and he is now on Earth.

14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

If there is any reference to the US in the book of Revelation this is it. There are several countries that use the Eagle as a symbol, but clearly the “great” eagle would be the US. The US is also considered the “bread basket of the world” so to come here to be nourished makes sense. Also, this country more than any other has bible believing Christians and bibles from which “the woman” could be nourished.

15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

I find it incredible the number of floods we are seeing in Asia (China, Taiwan and Japan). However, I think this may refer to the 3 Gorges dam collapsing and flooding the Yangtze river basin where 500 million people live.

16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

Sounds amazing. Imagine the 3 Gorges dam collapsing and then a giant earthquake opening up and swallowing up the Yangtze river flood.

17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

We have been warned about this, that as we go up the missiles come down. There have been numerous prophecies that Russia will attack us, Pakistan, Iran, and N. Korea will attack us. This may indicate that China will also attack us. The only salvation is to get on your knees and pray to Jesus.

Luke 8:16-25 Light overcomes the darkness

16 “No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. 17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.

It was disgusting to see Delta Airlines object to the election integrity laws in Georgia. No one can use their airline without a picture ID, yet they have the nerve to accuse Georgia of being racist because you need a picture ID to vote. Likewise with Coca Cola, no one can buy stock in that company or attend a shareholder meeting without a picture ID, what hypocrites to blame Georgia for requiring a picture ID. The NBA is even worse, they have the gall to complain about the election integrity in the US while being partners with China where there is no election integrity. The church is a light, a lampstand, we cannot allow businesses to cover up the light. There are a lot of things that are hidden, but they will all be disclosed and brought to light. Stacy Abrams came out against this law as being racist, but now says she was never against voter ID. The lies, the hypocrisy will all be brought out into the open.

18 Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.”

To me it is like finding a vein of gold in the ground. Keep digging. They don’t conceal things unless they are really important, really valuable, so keep digging. But there is a warning, there are those who think they already have and stop digging. They even tell others to stop digging and worse they may try to stop you from digging by force. Even what you think you have will be taken away from you. Just remember, Jesus is Lord. You need to be very clear in your spirit that you are walking according to Him. Revolver.news is a news agency that did just that, digging into what really happened on Jan 6 and they have uncovered powerful and convincing evidence that the Jan 6th event was orchestrated by the FBI as an intelligence operation that they did not brief the President on. That, by definition, is treason. Tucker Carlson has been at the tip of the spear revealing this to the country and now we learn that the NSA is spying on him despite having no legal basis to do so. Project Veritas was also on the tip of the spear revealing the lies and deceit behind the Pfizer vaccine and in return the DOJ raided his house and handed his list of contacts over to the NY Times with whom they are currently involved in lawsuits. CNN, NY Times, DOJ all think they have something, but that is about to be taken away from them because their job is to be the light not to cover up the light.

19 Now Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd.20 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.” 21 He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.”

This is now the second time He has said this, you need to hear God’s word and put it into practice. This word suggests that many families, even Jesus' family will have people who are not interested in hearing God's word or putting it into practice. Abraham had a son according to the Spirit and he also had children according to the flesh. Once again I suspect this is what God desires to make sure the word is spoken to everyone.

22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set out.23 As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger. 24 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!” He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. 25 “Where is your faith?”he asked his disciples.

This election fraud is a squall. If you read the founding fathers writings concerning this possibility they anticipated it. This is the reason we have the electoral college 40 days later, they knew that it could take 40 days to find and prosecute the fraud. This is why if a state can’t certify the vote they let their representatives vote. It is fully constitutional to decide that the vote by the public was fraudulent, cannot be properly counted and so let the elected representatives vote for the state and assign the electoral college. Finally, even if that process cannot be done you can have each state get one vote for the President. So relax, where is your faith, the constitution is not under threat. Already we have people at the highest levels in Arizona, Georgia and Michigan talking about "recalling" their electoral votes. That is enough to completely invalidate the election results. You better believe this is a big storm, but the Lord had said we are going to the other side, amen, so be it.

In fear and amazement they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.”

Some people thought that “running out the clock” was a viable strategy for the Democrats. The idea is this, if you can’t reverse the results by December 14th, then you lose. But think about this for a minute, there are 73 million people who voted for Trump. In addition there are many others who voted for Biden and are now feeling the election was fraudulent. A recent Quinnipiac poll found that only 31% of Americans trust our elections. The information and investigations will continue until it is finally resolved to everyone's satisfaction. A democracy cannot survive if 70% of the population does not trust the elections. Light overcomes darkness, the darkness has never understood that.

I love watching the situation with the election audits and Kyle Rittenhouse and the Steele Dossier and Durham investigation and CIA in Afghanistan, etc. I view the Deep state security apparatus like the placenta and muscles of a woman. They have always been able to control everything going on within, yet we have this baby which has been growing for nine months until the baby overwhelms the Deep State, there is no way the deep state can keep that baby in, first they are stretched to the limit and then finally the dam breaks and that baby is coming out and will not be denied.

The deplorable way they have treated the January 6th prisoners is coming out, the deplorable way the prosecutor tried the Rittenhouse case came out, the deplorable way the BLM rioters are supplied with pallets of bricks is coming out, the CIA's drug operations, Hunter Biden's corruption, Joe Biden's corruption, it is all coming out.

Now we see these Moloch and Baal worshippers doing it in public, it is all coming out. We have been praying for the Lord to come and for the Lord to judge, but before judgement can be passed all the evidence and all the witnesses must testify, this is what we are seeing. In every way we are seeing how corrupt, how evil, and how compromised they are from the sole of their feet to the crown of their head.

The Bible compares the tribulation to the refining fire, and it compares those people who are left behind to "rejected silver".

This analogy helps us understand the purpose of the tribulation and why there would be multiple raptures. You take ore, you melt it down and since silver is much more dense than the rock it forms in it will drip down to the bottom while the slag will float on top. You then draw out all the melted silver which is pure. The slag is "rejected silver" but it still has a certain portion of silver in it just as the ore did. So you can double or triple the amount of slag, and do the process again and once again gain certain amount of silver, once again leaving yourself with slag. Do this several times to get all the silver you can from the ore.

Calendars?

There has been a lot of debate about calendars and after reviewing all the various theories and debates I have come to several conclusions.

1917 Balfour Declaration
1967 Jews regain Jerusalem
2017 Trump declares Jerusalem the capital of Israel

These three things tell me these were Jubilee years.

If those were Jubilee years then 2022 is a Shemitah year and Rabbi Jonathan Kahn's work on the Shemitahs confirms many other years.

There is a list of three or four events that took place on the 9th of Av this last 100 years. This tells me the calendar, at least on those years was accurate.

The Revelation 12 sign that appeared in 2017 was the day after Rosh Hashanah, that tells me it was a major warning on the year that Israel turned 70. This tells me that the interpretation of a generation being 70-80 years is correct.

Four years later was the "dung" year on the Jewish calendar. That tells me that is also correct and that the prophecy about cutting down the tree after dunging it for a year and seeing if it then bears fruit indicates the tribulation begins this coming year with Rosh Hashanah.

I subscribe to the theory that Nisan 1 must be after the Equinox and Tishrei 1 must also be after the Equinox.

I know that this may not perfectly align with the constellations as described in Josephus, but you have to realize over the last 2,000 years the Sun has moved around the galaxy and as a result we are not exactly in the same alignment as it was during the time of Josephus. So I take those constellations as a guide but not a hard and fast rule.

I believe that the Enoch calendar is a valid calendar for angels, not for God's people. If you are preparing for a wedding the bride will be on one timetable while the servants who are preparing for the event will be on a different timetable.

I also subscribe to the moon telling us the day. New moon = 1st. Granted if the moon is not sighted in Jerusalem on the prescribed day then the month starts the next day. So, there is a fudge factor of 24 hours.

So then you can claim that the 9th of Av begins the evening of Aug 6th or the evening of Aug 7th.

Also, since a day in the Bible begins at sundown if the 9th of Av begins Aug 6th it runs into Aug 7th, and if it begins Aug 7th it runs into Aug 8th.

So then, what time is the rapture? We are given three different times, you have the midnight cry for the ten virgins, you have the twinkling of the eye for when we are changed, and you have the sun risen in the sky in the morning for Sodom and Gomorrah.

If it is sunset, 7:30pm, in Jerusalem (Twinkling of the eye) it will be 12:30am in Beijing (the ten virgins) and it will be 8:30 am in San Francisco (Sodom and Gomorrah).

Luke 8:26-39 Election fraud by a legion of demons living in the tombs.

26 They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is across the lake from Galilee. 27 When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs.

For the last 12 years or so election fraud has been carried out by stuffing the ballots with votes from dead people. This is why they don't purge them from the roles even though in this computer age it would be a simple thing to do.

28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torture me!” 29 For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places. 30 Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him. 31 And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss. 32 A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission. 33 When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

What this reminds me of is ANTIFA. It turns out that they are being funded by George Soros. Also it is very strange, the BLM movement has collected huge sums of money, I may have even heard that it is over a billion dollars, yet they collect it through a service that collects money for the Democratic party. This is strange because if you are donating money to them you might think that it is for charitable purposes, to help inner city, or some other cause but no, it is not a charitable tax deduction. Instead you made a campaign contribution to the Democratic party. It is a sneaky way for a billionaire like George Soros or a company like Google to pretend they are making charitable contributions to BLM when in reality what they are doing is making big fat campaign contributions to the Democrats. So what happens when this gets exposed, that a bunch of big fat politicians and CEOs were using ANTIFA not to help the inner city but rather to deceive and take advantage of minorities. They just wanted a black face on the riots. That’s right, the demons who were in these people who didn’t know any better will go back to where they belong and all those “swine” will be drowned. This is the problem with election fraud, you can't pull this off without many people finding out and soon you have so many crooks at the till it is too obvious what is going on. If you have a politician who used a few crooks to help him get elected he skims a little money off of a government contract and pays them back. We call that "pork". But like a malignant cancer this corruption grows year by year. Soon you can't believe certain people are being elected and the reason is it isn't a little fraud anymore, it is massive. So then the crooks do what they do best, they intimidate the common people, soon running for office means six months of attack ads and non stop smears and insults. Soon no one wants to be a politician but the slimiest of people. It is a solitary place and as one President once said, if you want a friend, get a dog. But how can they continue to steal elections if their candidate is so repulsive? Simply discourage people from voting. As long as you can keep voting down below 50% you can always steal an election. How hard is it to stuff ten thousand ballots? Maybe you hire ten guys to work all day and you pay each one $1,000. No problem, once the guy is elected he'll send you a contract worth $1,000,000. If it is a bigger election simply scale up and send him a contract for $10,000,000. Soon you realize this would be a lot easier and cheaper if we could use a Xerox machine and there you go, now we have digital votes with machines. So why is it that we can't put a stop to this? Organized crime controls a few judges, they threaten to kill others, and to many politicians were helped to get into their job, so if one falls they all fall. So you have a legion of crooks, they all want to get paid, you cut off the government funding completely, totally. Tell these demons to go back to the fat cats that were financing them in the first place and get them to pay you. Facebook, Twitter, CNN, Walmart, etc. These stocks all plunge into the water and drown like a sinking stone.

34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside,35 and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 36 Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed man had been cured. 37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left.

Are we talking about the mainstream media, the government officials and the tech giants? Right now one of the big stories is that people are leaving these platforms, these media outlets and even these cities in droves. Change of address forms for NYC have doubled in the last six months. Ratings for the mainstream media have tanked as people realize they have lied and cannot be trusted. New platforms that support free speech have been started and people are fleeing Google, Youtube, Facebook and Twitter. If the "pigs" refer to these rich multinational corporations then those "tending the pigs" would refer to the people working in these companies and perhaps to the stockholders who are watching their investments tank and the stock brokers tending those investments.

38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.

Yet even so there are many testimonies and individuals popping up on Youtube (or Rumble). Epoch Times, NTD, Newsmax, etc. The "Walk Away" movement is a movement of people who have left the Democratic party, they share their testimonies similar to what the Lord is asking this man to do. Not only so but we have those who are involved in politics exposing the corruption and making sure we have free and fair elections. Mike Lindell is a great example, Steve Bannon is another, and yes, Donald Trump is draining the swamp.

Let's pray according to the Lord's word

34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

I am tired of Christians who pray according to their own opinion, their own understanding and ignore the Lord's word to us. The war in Ukraine was prophesied in the Bible, China surrounding Taiwan was prophesied, Iran and Israel fighting was prophesied. Enough with this "can't we all get along" doctrine of diplomacy. No, we cannot all get along. We cannot get along with people who are trafficking children, performing human sacrifice to their satanic gods, or stealing widows houses. I am tired of people justifying sin, compromising with sin, and then pretending that "this is the way of the world" and if you don't go along you are naive and a fool. The day of the Lord is a day of reckoning. Yes, we want people to repent of their sins, confess and turn to Jesus and be saved. But for those who refuse there will be a day of reckoning. We are not backing down from this fight. Now it is the Lord Jesus who will send the sword, not us. We are not called to do that, the only sword we wield is the sword of the spirit. By all means pray that people would repent of sins and one way to encourage them to repent is to let them know that yes, the sword is coming, you can guarantee that.

35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.


You think it is ugly now? How about when your children are turning you in to the authorities or your brothers and sisters? You want to see someone repent, go ahead and turn in your dad for January 6th and then later learn that it was a false flag event conducted by the deep state and you helped the traitors. And I am tired of hearing the atheists cry about how God can't do this and He can't do that because it is unrighteous. God gave us the word. The word will make one wise, able to discern what is going on. You ignored the word that God gave to you and then want to blame God because you are a fool and were taken advantage of by your enemy? God is going to laugh at you, He will laugh when your calamity comes on you. The same arrogant person who didn't need God and dismissed the word of God just got exposed as being a pompous fool.

36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

My main enemy is myself. My ego, my opinion, my foolish ignorance, my arrogance and pride. These are my biggest enemies. The people who know you best know this. I am tired of hearing these baby Christians always talking about "the enemy" and "Satan's attack". Really? In my experience I can tie everything that has ever happened to me to be under the Lord's sovereignty. I had some bad things happened but I ignored the still small voice of the Lord and He allowed those things but drew a line, you can punish him this much, but no further. Jesus is Lord, whatever He tells you to do, just do it.

Luke 8:40-48 We have been bleeding for 12 years

40 Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. 41 Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader, came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come to his house 42 because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying.

In the last chapter we had Jesus marveling at the faith of the centurion. In this chapter He is rebuking His disciples “where is your faith”? In this chapter his cloak is touched by faith and that stops the bleeding. This girl is “about twelve”. 12 years ago was 2009, the mortgage meltdown. At that time the banks defrauded the American people out of homes knowing that when everything collapsed the US government and the taxpayers would bail them out. Anyone in the banking industry knew that those who designed this system were crooks whereas some of those who made money off of it might have been sleazy and stupid but not really aware of how criminal it was. Yet, despite the criminality and premeditation inherent in those who set it up no one went to jail. Instead the US taxpayer bailed out the criminals so that they could continue to give themselves million dollar bonuses. At that time the politics in this country changed, the common man realized if you don’t stand up now they will take your job and your house.

As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her.

For 12 years we have seen this political extremist wind bleeding Americans. We are seeing some really scary developments from blacklists, censorship, and indoctrination camps. A totalitarian regime is being organized even down to voting machines that will allow them to insure victory. What they are really focused on, the big prize is the US dollar. If you can destroy the value of the dollar investors betting on this can become rich. This is how George Soros has made his billions. Many are looking at the policies of this government and in every case they are terrible causing inflation, economic collapse and the collapse of the US dollar. Don't think this is a mistake, if you bet against the dollar you can become very wealthy with policies like this. People steal elections so that they can get policies that will make them rich. The Pandemic is providing the globalists with leverage to bankrupt currencies around the world and to then replace them with a universal digital currency and a computer chip with your information injected into you. A computer chip like this would give the governments enormous power to control the world. But even more important, the base of this movement to bring justice and righteousness to a corrupt government in the US were the small business owners. These are the ones they are bankrupting due to the pandemic while the supporters of these leftists are getting incredibly wealthy (Amazon.com, FedEx, etc). If you attack the Trump supporters in their wallet they cannot donate to Trump’s campaign and they can’t focus on the election when they have to focus on saving their business.

Twelve years ago a two things happened, first a grass roots movement in this country started in response to the very clear corruption in Washington. That was like a little girl. It was this movement that got Trump elected but now with this election fraud she is in danger of dying. Meanwhile at the same time they robbed widows houses, similar to this woman who has been bleeding for the last twelve years. They both have become desperate to be healed.

44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped. 45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked. When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.” 46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.” 47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

She was trying to go unnoticed. We need to stop having that attitude. No one lights a lamp and puts it in a clay jar or hides it under the bed. No, that is true, but people do keep a journal with their testimonies and hide that under a bed or keep that in a clay jar. When you put your faith into action you will have a testimony and that testimony is a light to the rest of us. Do not hide it.

Luke 9:18-22 When Justice is done it brings terror to evil doers

18 Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say I am?” 19 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.” 20 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “God’s Messiah.”

If you see that Jesus is the anointed one of God and that He has been given to you, then you will know that He has given you the power and the authority to cast out demons and heal the sick. That brokerage firm filled with demons, they were shut down within a year of my leaving. These inner city youths, primarily young men of color (80% of the school) with a very high poverty index, are performing on par with schools like Stuyvesant, Bronx HS of Science, and other high schools ranked as the best in the country. When you look at them based on improvement from one year to the next, they are easily the number one high school in the city (for the class I teach).

21 Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.

I have been strictly warned not to say one thing about Jesus being the Messiah at my school. At the school it is all about the curriculum. At home it is all about praying for wisdom.

22 And he said, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.”

He must be killed.

Pr 22:3 The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.


Jesus saw the danger, was He prudent? Did He take refuge, did He advise the disciples to hide themselves? Jesus continued to keep going to Jerusalem and the cross, so was He simple? Did He pay the penalty? Was He a ransom for our sin? He must be raised to life. There are many out there who will try every possible way to avoid having Jesus as Lord. They will go so far as to crucify Him. They are conceited, they are envious, they would rather fail than have Jesus be Lord.

Pr 22:4 Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life.


Clearly the Lord was not simple, He saw the danger, but He humbled Himself to be a servant, to fear the Lord. There are people who do see the danger approaching from this pandemic, from climate change, and from these protests. They see the schools shutting down, they see visions of armed riots, and they see the collapse of the economy. So what do we do, are we afraid of Herod the Tetrarch who goes around chopping heads off, or do we fear the Lord who has set His face to go to Jerusalem? Are you going to run and hide yourself, or are you going to proclaim the kingdom? Did you really think you would cast out demons without a fight?

Pr 21:12 The Righteous One takes note of the house of the wicked and brings the wicked to ruin.


That is why it must be this way. The Lord is prudent, He does see the danger, and He fears God. Man’s sin is going to be judged, that is the danger, so He became a ransom for us to pay the price for us. This is the story of Passover. We put the blood on our door so that the Righteous one could take note, meanwhile He had already taken note of the house of the wicked. When the destroyer came and brought the house of Egypt to ruin the righteous one stood guard over our house because of the blood of the lamb.

Pr 21:22 One who is wise can go up against the city of the mighty and pull down the stronghold in which they trust.


Think of the public school system. For inner city youths, for young men of color, for the poor it is not too much to say the schools have been a failure. The United States generally scores 28th on international exams comparing school systems. However, we spend far more per student than the countries scoring at the top of these exams. When you consider how we do for the money we are far worse than 28th. This is because the Son of Man was rejected by the elders. The first year they did one of these international exams Finland scored first. All the reporters ran to the political leaders to ask them what they did. They were confused, they hadn’t done anything. They had simply told the educators to figure out the best way to educate and the politicians had basically kept their hands off. In the US controlling funding for the school system is very big money, no way the political leaders, the “chief priests and rulers” will keep their hands off. That is why we have one of the worst education systems “for the money”. On the one hand the death and resurrection of Jesus demonstrated that He was the one chosen by God, just like Aaron’s budded rod did. Here is the good news, you don't need the public school, you could do exactly what I did in a homeschool situation. I could share my curriculum, it is all online. The public school is the stronghold of the wicked, we need to pull it down.

Pr 21:15 When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers.


On the other hand Jesus' crucifixion becomes a judgement on the elders and chief priests who rejected Him and sentenced Him to die. They have sentenced your kids to die. What have you got to lose? If 50% of the kids in this country walked out of the public school and went to homeschool at the church meeting hall it would be a terror to the evildoers.

Evil Cows

Genesis 41:1 And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river. 2 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, well-favored and fat-fleshed; and they fed in the reed-grass. 3 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill-favored and lean-fleshed, and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river. 4 And the ill-favored and lean-fleshed kine did eat up the seven well-favored and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke. 5 And he slept and dreamed a second time: and, behold, seven ears of grain came up upon one stalk, rank and good. 6 And, behold, seven ears, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them. 7 And the thin ears swallowed up the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.

The Hebrew word for "ill favored" is actually evil. It is hard for anyone to think of a cow being evil so translators have a problem with that. But let's think about this for a second, if the cows represent the economy, is it really an act of God that you have seven years of famine this bad? Right now we are seeing an extreme drought in California that has gone on for 22 years. As a result we are seeing bigger and bigger forest fires as well as forests dying. They blame "climate change" and yet strangely "climate change" operates much, much faster in California than in NY. But here is the strange thing, 80% of California's water goes to Agriculture. So if California grew crops that didn't need as much water the drought wouldn't be nearly as severe. Instead California grows crops like almonds which are one of the most water intensive crops there are. In truth California has been using more water than they had on a yearly basis for over 22 years. That was their choice. It wasn't because they needed water for people, it was because they chose to grow crops that guzzled water even though they didn't have the water. This was not some national necessity either, we have other parts of the country that get much more water than California and could have grown the almonds instead.

You might think this was simply a bad judgement call, but that is highly unlikely. First of all, the forest fires burning down the forests opens up more land for agriculture. Second, they are blaming everything on Climate change instead of their intentional use of water intensive crops. This in turn is the basis for a multi trillion dollar "green new deal" which is all about buying up technology manufactured in California like electric vehicles, solar panels, and lithium batteries. Now that is an evil economy.

California used to be the richest state in the US, but today by certain measures it is the poorest. But consider the pandemic, again you might think this was a virus from nature and was just one of those things. But that isn't true, it was a man made virus and the shut down cannot be justified as "respecting science". Rarely would a quarantine be recommended except in the very specific cases where the hospitals were overwhelmed. So a few select cities might have needed to be shut down for one or two months, but that is it. Not the whole country, not even all the cities. Why would they do it? Some think it was to help Biden get elected and it did help him. Some think it was to benefit certain multinational corporations like Amazon and it certainly benefited them. Some think it was to bankrupt the middle class because they are the backbone of democracy and there is certainly evidence that small businesses were hurt the worst and that China has played a major role in our policies. My point is that it was evil. These "evil" cows that will eat up all the fat cows and all the storehouses of food, they are evil because of evil people manipulating the situation for their own advantage despite the death and destruction that it will create.

There is another claim for why they have over hyped the response to the pandemic and that is to enforce a vaccine. Generally the vaccine is to cure the disease, but in this theory the disease is to mandate the vaccine. Much of the urgency and pressure to vaccinate is not logical nor does it respect the science. However, if the pandemic was manufactured to create an urgency for the vaccine that is a different story, then everything they have done and said makes sense. What then would be the purpose for the vaccine if not to cure the pandemic? There are several theories about that based on recent patents. I can't prove any of those theories, so I will leave it with what I can prove which is that the pandemic was hyped, the shut down was contrary to what science would recommend, and there should not be any pressure to get the vaccine. In fact based on statistical analysis and what we know about this virus I would estimate that 50% of the country should not get the vaccine, and another 25% of the country has no real compelling reason to get it. Instead I would recommend based on the data that only the high risk people with co-morbidities who have not previously had Covid19 should get the vaccine.
