They're Back!
Luke 11:24 The unclean spirit when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and finding none, he saith, I will turn back unto my house whence I came out. 25 And when he is come, he findeth it swept and garnished. 26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more evil than himself; and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first.
We are seeing this play out right now. Over the last 4 years we kicked out a whole lot of unclean spirits from our country, and our country was swept and garnished. Economy performed better than ever, especially in the inner city and among minorities. But now what is happening? The border is thrown open and it is not simply refugees coming across, the refugees present themselves to the authorities, they have nothing to fear and will be shipped around the country. No, we have had 2,000,000 "got aways" these are criminals who cannot show up to the authorities because we have their fingerprints and mugshots. They have come back with all of their friends just like the Lord said.
What you heard for the previous 4 years were the demons and evil spirits crying and screaming about being kicked out of the country. Well, "they're back"! And it will be seven fold worse than it was.
I see videos of smash and grab thugs and turns out we just released them from jail. We have a guy who had multiple felonies and they released him so he could then take his car and drive it through a parade. Six dead and 62 injured. Another man is let out and goes on a stabbing spree in NYC. They're back!
Christians need to stand up and pray that these demons be sent to waterless places, that they be locked up, that they be cast out. Pray in the name of Jesus, as children of God use His authority. Make sure you cover yourself in the blood of Jesus before you pray, repent of any sins and wash away all stains.

Daniel 5:1-6 -- The writing on the wall -- Ten days till the Feast of Trumpets
1 King Belshazzar gave a great banquet for a thousand of his nobles and drank wine with them.2 While Belshazzar was drinking his wine, he gave orders to bring in the gold and silver goblets that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken from the temple in Jerusalem, so that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines might drink from them.3 So they brought in the gold goblets that had been taken from the temple of God in Jerusalem, and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines drank from them. 4 As they drank the wine, they praised the gods of gold and silver, of bronze, iron, wood and stone.
This is an act of blasphemy against God. However, I doubt this is the only act of blasphemy, rather I suspect this was the final straw. Everyone is quite animated with this election year, the things that President Trump has done has motivated everyone. People feel vehemently one way or the other concerning the MAGA movement. He has said some very offensive things. For example he claimed that mail in ballots would not be secure and would be subject to fraud. Wow, what a reaction that brought. Fraud is incredibly rare. Now they are very specific when they say that. What is incredibly rare is a person trying to vote twice. But election fraud in this country, rare? That is an insult to our intelligence. In 1948 we had the box 13 scandal where Lyndon Johnson stole that election. JFK won his election over Nixon because he won Illinois, and Texas. Both of these were razor thin margins and the feeling is that dirty tricks by Daley and LBJ’s apparatus made the difference. Then of course JFK was assassinated and the American people were force fed the “Oswald is a lone gunman” even though it was laughable. During the Watergate investigation with Nixon one of his operatives outlined all the dirty tricks that he used but seemed to feel that what he was doing wasn’t all that bad as “everyone does this”. Reagan beat Carter in his first term because of the oil embargo. It was the 70s and it seemed the world was running out of oil. What happened to that? The whole thing was a lie. Kissinger working with OPEC had different refineries shut down to make it appear there was a shortage of oil. They were willing to shoot the US economy in the foot to undermine Carter. In 2000 we had the debacle in Florida with Bush and Gore. It is very important that US elections appear fair and free but anyone who has been paying attention knows they aren’t. They know in key swing states there are ridiculously long lines at inner city polling stations. In other countries election day is a vacation, not in the US. So this is how they lie to you. In a tight election it will all hinge on one or two states. You don’t need to have fraud in 48 states, so right away if you say that 96% of the elections are free and fair that is true, even if there is fraud in every single election. Then even in a state like Florida you don’t need to do anything about 96% of the vote. If the election is tight less than 1% will swing it one way or the other. The Box 13 scandal involved 200 votes, that is all it took. So I can tell you that 99.9% of votes are not fraudulent, so what, it is that 0.1% that swings the vote. So the point is not to debate each and every election as to whether or not there was fraud, the point is that election fraud can be exceedingly rare and at the same time extremely common. It can be rare that any one vote is fraudulent but at the same time very common that election fraud takes place, even “everybody does it”. So a month ago the Democrats were telling everybody that you don’t need to worry, election fraud is very rare, and then a month later they are screaming that this election will be stolen by fraud. Which is it? If you tell me you are worried about election fraud this election I fully agree with you. But shouldn’t the Democrats apologize for saying not to worry? In my opinion the election fraud we have seen over the last 72 years is like seeing little termites run around. This year it is like falling through the floor and discovering your whole house has been eaten up by termites.
But that is only an indication of the depth of the corruption. The Ghislaine Maxwell trial is revealing how utterly despicable and wicked the elites are. Epstein island has a pagan temple where they perform Satanic rituals which include drinking blood taken from terrified kids and pedophilia. The horrors that we are seeing get exposed are beyond anything that anyone could believe. The truth is far beyond what any conspiracy theorists could have come up with. This involves presidents, royalty, even clergy in the Catholic church.
5 Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. The king watched the hand as it wrote. 6 His face turned pale and he was so frightened that his legs became weak and his knees were knocking.
This is some scary stuff. Imagine fires so bad that people have to evacuate the state of California. Imagine the smoke is so bad half the country is choking. Imagine a horrific famine that results from the floods, rats, and locusts in China. Imagine a plague of scorpions. Imagine a pandemic that continues to grow and spread around the world. Imagine the US economy tanking and the US dollar suffering massive inflation. That is a scary thought. You might say “the writing is on the wall”, but what does it all mean?
Now imagine that during all of these events the world leaders are partying and carousing because they were able to steal an election and now are printing money like a counterfeiter trying to stock up for the winter. They are blasphemous towards God and His vessels of mercy. Then what happens, we see a hand, not a person but just the hand posting up on the wall, or in this case, the internet, that Bill Clinton was found guilty in a tribunal, Hillary Clinton has been found guilty, Nancy Pelosi has been found guilty, Bill Barr, 32 Governors, John Podesta, and the list goes on and on. Over 700 people in the US and Europe have been arrested. Flights to Gitmo have increased 900%. Now that is some terrifying stuff. Why did Bezos step down? Where is Tom Hanks? Where are all these people accused of treason and pedophilia? Why have 19 congressmen announced their retirement. This is being posted on the internet but there is no response, they have turned pale, their legs are weak, their knees are knocking. The Laptop from Hell is a runaway best seller and Biden is silent! How do you ignore the accusations? Bannon is completely destroying the number of CNN viewers. Twitter has been exposed, Facebook has been exposed, and we are seeing polling that is terrifying Biden. Anyone saying they want to investigate the 2020 election and impeach Biden is getting nominated to run for the republicans.
These arrogant, blasphemous people had built guillotines on which to kill their enemies similar to what Haman did in the book of Esther and apparently they are being sentenced to death on these same guillotines. Donald Trump recently mocked them saying Pelosi was wearing a mask to cover her entire face. All Pelosi has to do is come forward, take her mask off and point out how ridiculous this is, unless of course she can't. My wife and I heard Biden talking yesterday and it did not sound anything like him! We have seen them do green screen with Biden, CGI with Biden, what is going on?
Biden celebrates his "inflation reduction act" the same day news comes out that inflation is higher than ever and the stock market tanks. Now that is some bad optics. Denmark and UK are now greatly reducing who can get vaccinated as the evidence comes out that this is harmful and liability will be next. Meanwhile Biden is sending billions to Ukraine as though his life depends on how they do while Russia sends blunt and crystal clear warnings that they will nuke the US if they don't stop. The writing is on the wall, China is in a real estate bubble as it pops and they can no longer feed their people. Rather than go through another famine like the great leap forward they will start a war with Taiwan and the US. The lights are about to go out in Germany and it will be a long cold winter for them, something Biden told us would happen. The elites are cancelling their events and heading for their bunkers. 10 Days till the Feast of Trumpets.

Great Summary
God has graciously gifted you and me with this one life to live at the end of all things. Make no mistake about it, we are the final generation. This world is quickly coming undone, and the time we have left to be zealous for good works is quickly drawing to a close. The long dark night is coming soon upon the earth, and even now we are watching the sun setting on the horizon. Before the darkness fully comes, we must be like those faithful servants going out to the highways and byways, sharing the good news about the free gift of salvation through Jesus' finished work upon the cross.

2018 Beginning of the "ten days of Awe"?
The Prophecies of Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel (1140 – 1217)
“When the Ottoman (Turks) conquer Jerusalem (which they did in 1517, 300 years after his prophecy),
they will rule over Jerusalem for eight jubilees (400 year s [Jubilee years are celebrated every 50 years], and they did exactly that, ruling Jerusalem through 1917).
Afterwards, Jerusalem will become a no-man’s land for one Jubilee, and then in the ninth Jubilee, it will once again come back into the possession of the Jewish nation (which is exactly what happened, even the strip of land dividing Israel’s West Jerusalem and Jordanian controlled East Jerusalem was referred to as “no man’s land,” until Jerusalem was taken by Israel during the Six Day War in 1967)
– which would signify the beginning of the Messianic end time.” (The tenth Jubilee which began in 2018)
The 9th jubilee would have concluded in 2017 and the tenth Jubilee begun in 2018.
Not only so but we had the great Revelation 12 sign on the Feast of Trumpets in 2017 as a sign warning of the ten days of Awe. It looks like the Revelation 12 sign may have been a one year warning and the ten days of Awe (ten years?) began at the Feast of Trumpets 2018?

A Rock Vision with Warning 9-16-22@8:08am
please note, the Red Heifer is sacrificed at the dedication of a new temple. It is done right after it's second birthday. Therefore the only use for these red heifers is in about 6 months. The only reason to bring them to Israel is if you are planning on dedicating the third temple in six months.
You might think they would want to use these five cows to breed Red Heifers for the future. However, if they were going to do that you would think they would be much more discreet about it and do that in Texas.
Instead they have a big ceremony where they receive these five cows, say it is time to rebuild the third temple, announce that a train will be completed from the airport going directly to the Temple mount by Passover and this Rosh Hashanah begins a new Messianic age.

Do not be carried away with dates, numbers and "coincidences".
The Satanists and FreeMasons have to do certain things on "special days" because it makes it look like they can prophecy.
On the flip side we can look at all the major events that took place on Hebrew holy days, that is prophetic.
The problem we have is that prophecy is really very clear in hindsight. For example, with all the signs we are seeing and what we have seen in the past we would think Elul 29 would be a very bad day to be in the stock market. But we don't know that for a fact. Bible prophecy is not designed to help you profit financially from the judgement on the world. Rather it is to warn you that where your treasure is there will your heart be also.
So, yes, I think the signs are clearly pointing to the tribulation, the 70th week, the last seven years beginning this fall, most likely on Rosh Hashanah. But do I know that to be the truth? Nope. What I do know is the truth is that Jesus will return shortly and that should motivate me to be in His word and to repent of all my sins, unforgiveness and root of bitterness. What I do know is that I should be preaching and warning everyone that this worldly system has been condemned, it is time to get out and give yourself fully to the Lord.

Jesus Baptism and the start of the tribulation
Matthew 3:1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, 2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
This blog is focused on the rapture, but a lot of other things take place around the same time as the rapture. As a result many of the posts have been about "those days". But one of the really big things that happens at the same time as the rapture is we have the two witnesses, the "two olive trees" begin their ministry. Their ministry seems to begin at the same time as the rapture and go till the midpoint of the tribulation where they are killed. Jesus told us that John was Elijah who is to come and since I think He was referring to one of these two witnesses let's look at what this says with the idea that "those days" refers to the days immediately before the rapture and tribulation begin.
3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
This is the point of the tribulation. The point is to turn people back to the Lord.
4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan, 6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
This is amazing. Why? Why does everyone go out to him? Do you know that wars like WWII are a great time for revival. The old saying "there are no atheists in the foxhole" is true. The same is true during famines and depressions. He eats locusts and wild honey? It sure seems like we have a collapse in civilization and a famine. When it says "everyone went out to him" this is during the tribulation. It wasn't on day 1 of his ministry, it is reference to the entire ministry. This reminds me of when I used to finish wood furniture. You sand it down to a certain level, that is what we are seeing today with all these Christians telling people to repent the day of the Lord is at hand. Then you apply a coat of finish and let it fully dry and harden. This allows you to sand it down even smoother. I feel that the Lord right now is preparing the earth, coating the earth with this finish, the Bible. Baptizing, immersing, everyone into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Then during the tribulation He will apply even finer sandpaper to really get a smooth finish.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Think about during the tribulation. Why are there still pastors and preachers left behind? John is not saying this about all pastors and preachers, only about those who were left behind. Perhaps they bought into the "Once Saved Always Saved" doctrine and told people they don't need to worry about the tribulation. Oops, that would be awkward.
8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: 9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
This was a version of OSAS, they taught that all the children of Abraham will be saved. John is saying that is not true, if you have truly repented of your sins then you should have fruit worthy of repentance.
10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wow, so even if you are a tree, filled with the life of God, if you are not bringing forth fruit you will be cut down and cast into the fire. A lot of churches and pastors teach that if you are born of God you are a child of God, you have the life and nature of God, so you will be saved for eternity. Here, John is saying that is not good enough, you need to also bring forth fruit.
11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
Yep, that is the Great Tribulation. During the first three and half years the disasters, wars and plagues are not super natural, they are simply the result of having evil rulers and choosing Antichrist to lead you. But the last three and a half years after the two witnesses are killed and caught up to heaven, then you will have the wrath of God poured out, that is to be baptized with fire.
12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
So we have two different analogies here. In the gospels we are told that the Lord would send out His angels before the tribulation to gather up the tares into bundles to be burned and the wheat into his barn. That is what we are seeing now, this polarization. You have to pick a side, no one can sit on the fence. But here we see the wheat being rolled over with the tribulum which causes the chaff to separate from the grains. Then you need a good wind, which is why the temple mount used to be a threshing flood. Mountain tops often have the best wind. What you do is take a shovel full of the wheat and chaff and throw it up in the air. The grains fall straight back down while the wind blows the chaff away. This is what the tribulation is, separating the wheat from the chaff. There are "christians" who are chaff. They come to the meetings, but they don't have faith. Put them under intense pressure, then toss them in the air and the wind will blow them away.
13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
I think this may signify the rapture. Jesus is certainly the man child who is to rule the nations with an iron rod, but He ascended to heaven and the man child in Revelation 12 is "caught up" or "snatched up" before the dragon can devour them. Have you ever seen a son that looked exactly like the father, he has the image and likeness of the father and when you see him you see his father? That is what we see in Revelation 12, these Christians look exactly like Jesus. They express Him.
14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
All ministry comes out of our failing and shortcomings. Peter denied the lord three times, Paul was there when Stephen was killed, Mark abandoned the ministry, James was a cult leader. It looks like here that John the Baptist, Elijah who is to come, also needs to repent, hence his ministry telling others to repent. This reminds me of the story of the little kids calling him a baldy and then he calls for a bear to come out and mall them and kill them. Anyway it is very clear that John the Baptist needed Jesus to baptize him, which ultimately will happen.
15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
I think the rapture will be a "baptism" on those who are left behind. It will cause them to repent, to confess their sins, and to be immersed into the word, into worship, into prayer.
16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
You see this verse reminded me of the church in Philadelphia: 9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Jesus, the man child goes straight up, and the raptured saints, the church in Philadelphia also "go straight up" and that becomes a testimony to all that Jesus loved them. It also kicks off the ministry of John the Baptist, one of the witnesses, during the tribulation.
Matthew 3:1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, 2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
This blog is focused on the rapture, but a lot of other things take place around the same time as the rapture. As a result many of the posts have been about "those days". But one of the really big things that happens at the same time as the rapture is we have the two witnesses, the "two olive trees" begin their ministry. Their ministry seems to begin at the same time as the rapture and go till the midpoint of the tribulation where they are killed. Jesus told us that John was Elijah who is to come and since I think He was referring to one of these two witnesses let's look at what this says with the idea that "those days" refers to the days immediately before the rapture and tribulation begin.
3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
This is the point of the tribulation. The point is to turn people back to the Lord.
4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan, 6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
This is amazing. Why? Why does everyone go out to him? Do you know that wars like WWII are a great time for revival. The old saying "there are no atheists in the foxhole" is true. The same is true during famines and depressions. He eats locusts and wild honey? It sure seems like we have a collapse in civilization and a famine. When it says "everyone went out to him" this is during the tribulation. It wasn't on day 1 of his ministry, it is reference to the entire ministry. This reminds me of when I used to finish wood furniture. You sand it down to a certain level, that is what we are seeing today with all these Christians telling people to repent the day of the Lord is at hand. Then you apply a coat of finish and let it fully dry and harden. This allows you to sand it down even smoother. I feel that the Lord right now is preparing the earth, coating the earth with this finish, the Bible. Baptizing, immersing, everyone into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Then during the tribulation He will apply even finer sandpaper to really get a smooth finish.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Think about during the tribulation. Why are there still pastors and preachers left behind? John is not saying this about all pastors and preachers, only about those who were left behind. Perhaps they bought into the "Once Saved Always Saved" doctrine and told people they don't need to worry about the tribulation. Oops, that would be awkward.
8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: 9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
This was a version of OSAS, they taught that all the children of Abraham will be saved. John is saying that is not true, if you have truly repented of your sins then you should have fruit worthy of repentance.
10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wow, so even if you are a tree, filled with the life of God, if you are not bringing forth fruit you will be cut down and cast into the fire. A lot of churches and pastors teach that if you are born of God you are a child of God, you have the life and nature of God, so you will be saved for eternity. Here, John is saying that is not good enough, you need to also bring forth fruit.

Daniel 5:7-23 They have set themselves up against the Lord
7 The king summoned the enchanters, astrologers and diviners. Then he said to these wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this writing and tells me what it means will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around his neck, and he will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.” 8 Then all the king’s wise men came in, but they could not read the writing or tell the king what it meant.
It is very interesting, in the last few years we have had this "intelligence drops" called Q drops. (Do not confuse Q with Qanon, they are two very different things). It seems the point of the Q drops is to terrorize the corrupt rulers just like this hand with the writing on the wall.
9 So King Belshazzar became even more terrified and his face grew more pale. His nobles were baffled. 10 The queen, hearing the voices of the king and his nobles, came into the banquet hall. “May the king live forever!” she said. “Don’t be alarmed! Don’t look so pale! 11 There is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods in him. In the time of your father he was found to have insight and intelligence and wisdom like that of the gods. Your father, King Nebuchadnezzar, appointed him chief of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers and diviners. 12 He did this because Daniel, whom the king called Belteshazzar, was found to have a keen mind and knowledge and understanding, and also the ability to interpret dreams, explain riddles and solve difficult problems. Call for Daniel, and he will tell you what the writing means.” 13 So Daniel was brought before the king, and the king said to him, “Are you Daniel, one of the exiles my father the king brought from Judah? 14 I have heard that the spirit of the gods is in you and that you have insight, intelligence and outstanding wisdom. 15 The wise men and enchanters were brought before me to read this writing and tell me what it means, but they could not explain it. 16 Now I have heard that you are able to give interpretations and to solve difficult problems. If you can read this writing and tell me what it means, you will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around your neck, and you will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.” 17 Then Daniel answered the king, “You may keep your gifts for yourself and give your rewards to someone else. Nevertheless, I will read the writing for the king and tell him what it means. 18 “Your Majesty, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar sovereignty and greatness and glory and splendor. 19 Because of the high position he gave him, all the nations and peoples of every language dreaded and feared him. Those the king wanted to put to death, he put to death; those he wanted to spare, he spared; those he wanted to promote, he promoted; and those he wanted to humble, he humbled. 20 But when his heart became arrogant and hardened with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and stripped of his glory. 21 He was driven away from people and given the mind of an animal; he lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like the ox; and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he acknowledged that the Most High God is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and sets over them anyone he wishes.
The US used to be a great superpower, they had glory and splendor. All the other nations respected and feared us. But we have become arrogant. It is incredible how we have forgotten our history, not ancient history, but even the history of our fathers. How can Germany return to a fascist rules with this vaccine after just one generation? How can Austria, Greece, Australia and Canada do this?
22 “But you, Belshazzar, his son, have not humble yourself, though you knew all this. 23 Instead, you have set yourself up against the Lord of heaven.
This is true. Listen to Ron Reagan do commercials for atheists saying he isn’t afraid of burning in hell. He is probably the only one in California who isn’t. The abortion issue is clearly a case of setting your kingdom up against the Lord of heaven. In China they passed laws that clearly set themselves up against the Lord of heaven. After the pandemic if a church wanted to reopen they needed to hang the picture of the leader of China in the Sanctuary, they needed to sing the national anthem and they changed Bible verses to praise the CCP. In Belarus it is the only dictator left. Protests in Belarus, Hong Kong, Beirut, Portland all point to the fact that they have set themselves up against the Lord of heaven.
You had the goblets from his temple brought to you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand.
Money and the stock market are the gods of silver and gold. War and military might are the gods of bronze and iron. The monuments built by man are the gods of wood and stone. The house of congress is called "the temple of democracy" but has become the temple of Baal worshipping idols.
But you did not honor the God who holds in his hand your life and all your ways.
One thing is undeniable, these rulers are not honoring God. I watched an interview with Kamala Harris where they asked her if she smoked pot. She laughed, her father and half her family are from Jamaica, of course she smoked pot. The next day her father is interviewed, a very dignified professor, and he was disgusted with what she said, saying she was perpetrating ugly stereotypes. He totally repudiated any suggestion that what she said was true. Think how incredible this is. Her father publicly rebukes her even though it might hurt her chances of being elected. Think of the hypocrisy, what is the entire Black Lives Matter movement about if it isn’t claiming that Blacks need to be treated with dignity and respect. She claims she is for BLM yet she is pushing insulting stereotypes of blacks as potheads rather than dignified professionals. What about Nancy Pelosi, railing about Trump not wearing a mask, not mandating a shutdown, and then she is seen not wearing a mask in the hair dresser. She violated the law, and in California a state that has the worst case of the pandemic in the US. She then claimed she was tricked and didn’t know the law, this is the third most powerful person in the US and represents the people of San Francisco and she doesn’t know the law? Then she destroyed the hairdresser saying she was set up and caused her to be swamped with threats so that she had to close and move her business. Bill Clinton went to pedophile island that belonged to Epstein, and then when Epstein is in jail he mysteriously dies, not the first mysterious death to help Clinton.
Daniel hasn't even looked at the writing on the wall yet and still he knows what is going down. He knows the history, he knows their sins, he knows the God who executes judgement. He knows the God who is not mocked, who says you reap what you sow. These evil rulers are sadists, they like to inflict pain, they like to inflict mental anguish on people. Well this story shows how God is doing that to them. This king is about to die, it could have been done secretly and quickly, but that would not be just. They liked to terrorize their victims first so in the same way they are reaping what they sowed. They liked Satanic rituals to terrorize kids well in the same way God is terrorizing them. Daniel knows all this and it is critical to understand this piece of the puzzle to understand that writing on the wall.
