Isaiah talks of the rapture in the context of the birth of a savior

Isaiah 26:16 Lord, they came to you in their distress;
when you disciplined them,
they could barely whisper a prayer.
17 As a pregnant woman about to give birth
writhes and cries out in her pain,
so were we in your presence, Lord.
18 We were with child, we writhed in labor,
but we gave birth to wind.
We have not brought salvation to the earth,
and the people of the world have not come to life.


Consider the contrast here between man trying to save himself by his own works with the birth of the savior. The last days are compared to a woman in labor having birth pains and bringing forth a man child who is to rule all nations. Meanwhile the nations are also struggling to give birth to the antichrist, a pseudo Christ, a false Christ, like giving birth to the wind. Psaki claims Joe Biden "saved Christmas", they did not bring salvation, the country is in a worse mess now than a year ago or two years ago. You have the birth of a savior juxtaposed with the birth of the antiChrist. You have a woman in labor struggling to give birth and we celebrate this at Christmas. This is our situation today. Everyone is struggling to give birth, some are struggling for righteousness, others are struggling to impose their rule over the world.

19 But your dead will live, Lord;
their bodies will rise—
let those who dwell in the dust
wake up and shout for joy—
your dew is like the dew of the morning;
the earth will give birth to her dead.


The dead in Christ rise first. This is a direct reference to the rapture at the end of the age in the context of Christmas and the birth of a savior and the birth of the antichrist.

20 Go, my people, enter your rooms
and shut the doors behind you;
hide yourselves for a little while
until his wrath has passed by.


This is a direct reference to the rapture prior to the Lord's wrath.

21 See, the Lord is coming out of his dwelling
to punish the people of the earth for their sins.
The earth will disclose the blood shed on it;
the earth will conceal its slain no longer.


This is the beginning of the tribulation. The purpose is to punish the people of the earth for their sins. They have concealed their sins like concealing the blood shed and the dead. This will now be fully uncovered.

Thief -- The Pre-Tribulation Rapture (4)

1Thessalonians 5:2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

The 70th week begins when the AntiChrist confirms a covenant with the many concerning Jerusalem. This is like a major fire alarm going off worldwide for all Christians to understand. Likewise the AntiChrist and the False prophet will push the mark of the beast. If you don't get it you will be beheaded. Everyone will know that this is the tribulation, so how could they be surprised? Yet the rapture comes like a thief in the night.

1Thessalonians 5:4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.

Clearly a lot of people will be surprised. How could you be surprised by a mid tribulation rapture? This must refer to a pre tribulation rapture.

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

Sardis is told very clearly to wake up and repent and if they don't the day will come upon them like a thief in the night and they won't know at what time the Lord will come. Once the Antichrist is in power and chopping off heads everyone will be awake. This has to be referring to a rapture prior to that.

Daniel 5:1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand. 2 Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein. 3 Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them. 4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

The Lord said that when He came they would be eating and drinking, I think this depicts the wantonness of the Earth when the rapture takes place. Also in a figure it depicts their blasphemy towards God. The believers are vessels of God. Here the rulers are abusing the believers and blaspheming God. I also feel this is what we are seeing happen in the US right now. For two years the people appealed for justice and election integrity. Exit polls showed that 73% of voters were unhappy with the direction the country is going in or else angry over the direction. That would indicate that 73% voted to get rid of the people in power which were Democrats. And yet, the results are coming in slow as molasses that the results were much closer to 50%. This is unbelievable. If people were voting for republicans 3:1 are we really to believe half of these Democrats won their election? So again, I would say this election is a big banquet for those in power and they are abusing the people of God and mocking God.

5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.

I am wondering if this refers to the rapture? We have some supernatural, terrifying event for all the fleshly inhabitants of the earth that wakes them up from their revelry. What does that writing say? We find out that it says you have been weighed in the balance and found wanting. This is exactly what the rapture says to those who are left behind.

6 Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.


We are told repeatedly that this is the response of the world when the Day of the Lord begins. What better way to kick it off than the dead in Christ rising and along with those who are alive being raptured to the Lord.

7 The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom. 8 Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof.

We know there will be a "great delusion" given which is that UFO's took the people. But no one with any common sense will believe it. For one thing I have heard that babies who are less than 2 years old will all be taken and yet the narrative they will try to spin is that the aliens took the bad people (since all the ones who were taken were preaching Jesus).

9 Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied. 10 Now the queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed: 11 There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers; 12 Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation.

So this is problematic. Many feel that Daniel depicts the saints who are raptured while his three colleagues are tossed into the fire are the tribulation saints. So how does someone who is raptured explain the rapture to those who are left behind? Perhaps they watch a Youtube video?

13 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry? 14 I have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee. 15 And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof: but they could not shew the interpretation of the thing: 16 And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom. 17 Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.

This reminds me of Abraham telling the King of Sodom he wouldn't take a shoe lace from him.

18 O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour: 19 And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down. 20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him: 21 And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will. 22 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this;

This sounds like the history of the US from WWII to today.

23 But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:

This sounds like what we have seen these last two years.

24 Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.

25 And this is the writing that was written, Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin.

26 This is the interpretation of the thing: Mene; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.

27 Tekel; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.

28 Peres; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

We have many prophesies saying that the US is judged and will be attacked by Russia and China and in a single hour will be cast down.

29 Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom. 30 In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain. 31 And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.

Lamentations 1:1-6 -- How did this happen from A to Z

Everyone has an opinion and to everyone their opinion is right. Doesn’t matter if we are talking about Abortion, or Climate change, or Election fraud, or whatever. It is like someone playing chess and they think they are making a good move, best possible move, without realizing what will happen four or five moves later. So let’s look at what is about to happen to the US and ask ourselves not “how did this happen” as what we are seeing here hasn’t quite happened yet, but rather “how does this path that we are on lead to what happens here”?

1 How deserted lies the city, once so full of people! How like a widow is she, who once was great among the nations! She who was queen among the provinces
has now become a slave.

Look at the changes! I grew up in the same town that Norman Rockwell grew up in. When I look at his paintings it is remarkably similar to what life was like where I grew up. As a young boy, say 8 or 9 I would walk to the beach from home, perhaps a thirty minute walk, stay there all morning, walk home for lunch, go back in the afternoon and stay all afternoon. There was no concern for safety, no concern about needing my Mom to drive me. In High School I spent a year in England, visited Italy, in college I visited Mexico, after graduate school I lived in Taiwan for about 8 years. The US was great among the nations. I saw it. We were “queen” among the provinces. But the US is quickly going from being great and a queen to being a slave and that is what we need to look at, how does the path we are on lead to this?

2 Bitterly she weeps at night, tears are on her cheeks. Among all her lovers there is no one to comfort her. All her friends have betrayed her;
they have become her enemies.

Look at the friends and lovers of the US. We have made a big mistake. Initially it was God that we put our trust in, God was our friend, God was our lover, and we listened and obeyed Him. But just like the church in Ephesus we have left our first love. The US used to be considered a Christian nation, but somehow they decided we needed to be more “ecumenical” and embrace everyone. Our lovers now include the LGBTQ, and pro abortionists. Abortion is the human sacrifice to the god’s Baal (career) and Molech (fornication).

3 After affliction and harsh labor, Judah has gone into exile. She dwells among the nations; she finds no resting place. All who pursue her have overtaken her
in the midst of her distress.

We had feast days like Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and July 4th but these have all been corrupted. These days were days to worship the Lord, get together with your family and the church, to worship the Lord and to have rest. Instead we have exchanged them for affliction, harsh labor and exile. This is because we dwell among the nations. They despise Thanksgiving and July 4th, Christmas has become Xmas and Easter is all about painted eggs and chocolate rabbits rather than the Lord’s birth and resurrection.

4 The roads to Zion mourn, for no one comes to her appointed festivals. All her gateways are desolate, her priests groan, her young women grieve,
and she is in bitter anguish.

Why is this? Why did people stop going to church? To me this is when the “leaving your first love” became more than a warning but a reality. The Lord said that this road will lead to the taking away of your lampstand. Lamentations is a description of that lampstand being taken away. It begins with taking away the appointed festivals. They replace the story of Jesus birth with the story of a “red nosed reindeer”, they mock the Bible’s description of a rapture with a jolly fat man in a red suit whose name, Santa, is simply a modified form of Satan. The holiday is no longer about a savior being given to us but rather of how it is all about buying trinkets and toys. Believing in Jesus is replaced with believing in Santa. You have been deceived, you have been robbed, and the priests were defeated by the likes of profane cartoons and Christmas lights, football games, and all the other “friends and lovers” we exchanged for Jesus.

5 Her foes have become her masters; her enemies are at ease. The Lord has brought her grief because of her many sins. Her children have gone into exile,
captive before the foe.

Yes, our children have gone into exile because of this. God wanted each of us to be an owner of a business and then to teach our children. So in the same way that Rockefeller taught his son to take over the business, or Trump was taught to take over the business, we would teach our kids. Instead we have all become employees, a word that is synonymous with the Biblical definition for slave. Our kids are taken from us and taught by the state for 16, 17, 21 years. It seems they keep adding and extending the indoctrination. First you have compulsory school through 6th grade, then through HS, then they want preschool, then they also want to add four years of college. Not only so but then they addict your kids to the internet. So at what point are parents teaching their kids anything? If you aren’t teaching them anything what exactly is the basis for them to honor their parents? I can understand Rockefeller’s kid learning for thirty or forty years how to run the business from his dad and so he honors his dad, but really, if you don’t teach your kids anything what is the basis for them to honor you? And what exactly is the point of the indoctrination from the nations, to teach your kids to go into exile in a submissive, obedient way.

6 All the splendor has departed from Daughter Zion. Her princes are like deer that find no pasture; in weakness they have fled
before the pursuer.

How weak they look. No wonder the kids do not honor the parents. The pasture is being devoured, every time you turn around something else has disappeared, you are weak, you are fleeing, and you are not a predator, you are the prey. Jesus is the lion of the tribe of Judah, you traded Him away. Jesus is our strength, He is the one who will lead us to pasture. You forsook the great shepherd of the sheep.

Hogwash

I include this here as historical evidence of how some try to make everything in the Bible and explain away the prophecies.


According to this guy when the Bible says that the great river Euphrates will dry up to make way for the kings of the East he says this is not literal but spiritual. Hogwash.

What happens when NYC and San Francisco see conservatives flee? The city becomes a dumpster fire. As a result many more liberals have "gotten mugged" and become conservatives.

Now consider what happens to the world when the rapture takes place? The people who are taken are all salt and light. They are all making their little niche a safer place to live. Take that protection away and the world becomes a dumpster fire. That is what the tribulation is. It helps people see the contrast, no longer is it is debate, now it's real.

2Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

New Hope! : It Will Be like in the Days of Noah! Jesus is Coming Quickly! Rapture Dreams & Visions!
She makes a very interesting point at the 34 minute mark.

Noah you have 40 days of rain.

After Jesus baptism you have 40 days in the wilderness

From Noah's flood 40 days takes you to 27th of Kislev which is the midst of Hannukah, clearly a festival that depicts the tribulation and the antichrist.

I'm thinking the baptism of Christ depicts the rapture. That is when God says from heaven "this is my beloved Son, hear Him".

This would mean that the forty days of rain delineate the pre rapture saints with the saints in the tribulation.

Lamentations 1:7-12 -- How did this happen from A to Z

7 In the days of her affliction and wandering Jerusalem remembers all the treasures that were hers in days of old. When her people fell into enemy hands, there was no one to help her. Her enemies looked at her and laughed at her destruction.

There is a great picture here, “no one to help her”. We were commanded to take one day a week as a day of rest to come and worship before the Lord. If we had done that we would have had a strong community. Everyone would know everyone, when trouble comes we would not be alone but rather there would be the church as one new man that could stand together against the stratagems of the evil one. But you traded that away for a job that paid more. However, when you got that job that paid more you needed to get the nicer house in the nicer neighborhood with the nicer school and higher taxes and all that goes with it. So you were still on the hamster wheel chasing that carrot just in front of your face. Meanwhile you were building the treasure cities for Egypt, which is what makes this so funny.

8 Jerusalem has sinned greatly and so has become unclean. All who honored her despise her, for they have all seen her naked; she herself groans
and turns away.

That is right, all who honored her despise her. It is one thing to be despised, pretty much everyone listed in Hebrews 11 was despised, but to go from being honored to being despised that is a very big fall. Think about Moses, he chose to be despised rather than to have some temporary honor with the Egyptians. I have seen many believers take a different path, they don’t want to be associated with the “despised Christians”, the “deplorables”, no they want to still attend the country club, so they attend a church that gets rid of all that “Jesus freak” stuff. They go to a church that will not offend the nations. They sinned greatly in despising their brothers and sisters and they have become unclean. Many of these churches openly reject the fellowship of the Apostles and even the Lord’s words. We call that the “apostasy”, the “falling away”. Repentance means you remember from whence you have fallen and you return.

9 Her filthiness clung to her skirts; she did not consider her future. Her fall was astounding; there was none to comfort her. “Look, Lord, on my affliction,
for the enemy has triumphed.”

Christians who are “pro abortion”? Some of these churches became involved in human trafficking and pedophile rings. The fall is truly astounding. The Pope’s Snake room is just one example of how astounding this fall is. The enemy has triumphed -- you have to see this was not some error by a few, it was the stratagem of the evil one. There are Satanists who have infiltrated churches. They use them for a cover. In the same way that Satan disguises himself as an angel of light they disguised themselves as pastors of megachurches and priests and bishops. In that role they took part in pedophilia, child trafficking, and Satan worship. One of the key aspects of Satan worship is to defile the bread and wine of the Lord's table and to do that they want an ordained priest to first bless it. Satanists want to enter the church but the door is closed. So they object to certain teachings, they push for failing denominations to stop listening to the Bible, they teach that the Bible is allegorical and not meant to be taken literally. Well you can be sure they are taking their triumph literally. They despise the Christians because they believe in God more than these apostate believers do.

10 The enemy laid hands on all her treasures; she saw pagan nations enter her sanctuary— those you had forbidden
to enter your assembly.

OK, when I said that this has not happened yet but is a glimpse of what is about to happen, well sure, this has happened, we see this in many countries, even in Canada. The Catholic church is another example of a place about to be pillaged of all her treasures. The Lord told us to keep our treasure in the heavens where thieves and rust cannot break through. You ignored that. There are churches with billion dollar trust funds. From what I understand that is trivial compared to the money stored up by the Catholic church. This is a shadow, the real treasure is the word of God.

11
All her people groan as they search for bread; they barter their treasures for food to keep themselves alive. “Look, Lord, and consider, for I am despised.”

You despised the Lord, of course you are despised. The Lord was a man of sorrows, we esteemed him to be among the transgressors, so you are reaping what you sowed. This is what repentance is all about, look at your mistake and repent. Lift up the Lord, worship Him. Consider the word of God to be your bread that you live by.

12 “Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look around and see. Is any suffering like my suffering that was inflicted on me, that the Lord brought on me
in the day of his fierce anger?

No, but that is because no one else was so blessed, so rich, so great, a queen living in peace and security, and yet despised the Lord who had caused all this.

Lamentations 1:13-18 -- How did this happen from A to Z

13 “From on high he sent fire, sent it down into my bones. He spread a net for my feet and turned me back. He made me desolate,
faint all the day long.

We used to think it was a conspiracy theory to say the Military had weapons to influence the weather, but now we know it is true. One thing in particular is a ray gun that can start forest fires. Wouldn’t it be amazing if the floods in China and the fires in America were “sent from on high”? Meanwhile the US is a place where a net is spread for your feet all day long. Cancel culture and a litigious society looking to sue someone has spread a net. Salesmen are liars, they are cheats. Trying to protect yourself from scam artists is now a full time job every day.

14 “My sins have been bound into a yoke; by his hands they were woven together. They have been hung on my neck, and the Lord has sapped my strength. He has given me into the hands
of those I cannot withstand.

What a great picture. For example let’s say you voted for Biden. You knew he was pro abortion, but you didn’t care. You knew the last four years were years of peace with no wars, but you didn’t care. You knew the last four years were years of a great economy, but you didn’t care. Now suppose that decision is a mistake, the economy crashes, inflation takes off, we are in a war, the border is flooded with millions of immigrants, some who take your job, others who work for cartels and turn the cities into a hellscape. Now when you try to support your family that yoke is horrible and you have all those sins hanging on your neck like a yoke. Because you know this is what you chose.

15 “The Lord has rejected all the warriors in my midst; he has summoned an army against me to crush my young men. In his winepress the Lord has trampled Virgin Daughter Judah.

The first thing they did was to allow transgenders to trample the virgin daughter of Judah. They will trample them in the bathroom, in the locker room, in the spa, and on the fields for sports. Meanwhile your army that was so respected is now focused on “equity” rather than merit. Afghanistan is evidence that the Lord has rejected all the warriors in my midst. Where are the soldiers for Christ? All these great big denominations are a complete compromise. They have sat by silent or even supportive while the country rejects God and His laws.

16 “This is why I weep and my eyes overflow with tears. No one is near to comfort me, no one to restore my spirit. My children are destitute because the enemy has prevailed.”

What were your eyes watching while the enemy was causing your children to become destitute? I suspect the reason you weep is because you realize you were listening to Balaam teach the children of Israel to commit fornication by using Hollywood. You weep because you chose Jezebel to rule over you even though you knew how evil she was. There were Christians who were warning you but you rejected that warning. You know that you are the one responsible for what has happened. You knew about Germany and thought that they were horrible people for allowing Hitler to take power and yet you yourself have done the very same thing.

17 Zion stretches out her hands, but there is no one to comfort her. The Lord has decreed for Jacob that his neighbors become his foes; Jerusalem has become
an unclean thing among them.

In the day of calamity there is no one to comfort her. No one is near. Her army has failed her. Her friends and lovers betrayed her. Now can you understand why the church is so important and why we keep the Lord’s day as a day to worship Him? All those believers you despised, those “Jesus Freaks” that embarrassed you in front of your boss and the Country club set, the deplorables, they were an army that wouldn’t have failed you.

18 “The Lord is righteous, yet I rebelled against his command. Listen, all you peoples; look on my suffering. My young men and young women have gone into exile.

How did you get here? You rebelled against the word of God. You refused to obey the word of the apostles. You rejected Jesus as your Lord and savior and looked elsewhere.

Exodus 19:11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai...

16 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.

17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.

Was the blood moon the three day warning?

Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.

Lamentations 1:19-22 -- How did this happen from A to Z

19 “I called to my allies but they betrayed me. My priests and my elders perished in the city while they searched for food to keep themselves alive.

Your priests and elders exchanged the word of God for the world. They did things to increase the flock but in order to do that they diluted the word of God and erased the most offensive portions. Eventually their flock was nothing but a large flock of chickens. We understand that the word of God is our bread and that we live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. We also know that physically if we eat junk food our health will suffer. Hollywood, TV and mainstream media is junk food with no nutritional value.

20 “See, Lord, how distressed I am! I am in torment within, and in my heart I am disturbed, for I have been most rebellious. Outside, the sword bereaves; inside, there is only death.

OK, it is bad, but remember, you chose this path because being a witness for the Lord Jesus would also cause torment (ridicule). Sure the sword bereaves now and inside there is only death, but you chose this path because you didn’t want to lose your friends in the world or offend the people of the world. This is like the story of the good Samaritan where there was a certain man who "went down to Jericho". This book is a story of how the Church left the Jerusalem which is above and went down to Jericho.

21 “People have heard my groaning, but there is no one to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my distress; they rejoice at what you have done. May you bring the day you have announced so they may become like me.


The day is coming, it is closer now than at any time in the last two thousand years. It is highly likely that this is the summer the Lord warned us about when He said when you see the fig tree bud you know summer is near. But why is no one to comfort you? All those who love the Lord’s appearing would comfort you unless of course you were asleep, you were eating and drinking with the drunken and the Lord came like a thief in the night. All those ones you despised, didn’t realize how much you would need them and miss them but they were stolen from you when you needed them most. Again, in the story the Lord told there was a priest and a levite that saw this man and instead of comforting him they passed by on the other side. When the Lord said the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night, this man was beat up in the street by thieves in the night. Open your eyes, the streets filled with "thieves in the night" is a sign.

22 “Let all their wickedness come before you; deal with them as you have dealt with me because of all my sins. My groans are many
and my heart is faint.”

It is so easy to point the finger at others and be completely blind to our own faults. We think we are rich and are clueless that we are blind and wretched and naked. But consider this, it is very difficult to do anything about what others do, and yet very easy to do something about what you do. I would suggest that you repent, confess your sins, consider where you have fallen from and return to the Lord. Embrace being a deplorable, embrace the crucified Christ, go outside the city to be one with Him.

Lamentations 2:2 Your kingdom is brought down to the ground in dishonor

2 Without pity the Lord has swallowed up all the dwellings of Jacob; in his wrath he has torn down the strongholds of Daughter Judah. He has brought her kingdom and its princes
down to the ground in dishonor.

So what is God going to do? We have seen what Biden, and NY Times, and Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, and Google have done, now, what do you think God will do? He will swallow up all the dwellings of Jacob. You thought you were so big, so powerful, just like Satan, well judgement has been declared. Facebook will be swallowed up. CNN and MSNBC will be swallowed up. Google, Youtube, and Twitter will be swallowed up. In God’s wrath He will tear down the strongholds of the daughter of Judah. She should have known that Judah is the lawgiver and yet Biden is doing many things that are contrary to the law, contrary to the constitution. Not only so but He will bring her kingdom and its' princes down to the ground in dishonor. Joe Biden will be brought down in dishonor. Everyday we hear about Hunter Biden’s laptop revealing the sin and corruption of Joe Biden and His lies. Everyday we learn more and more about how the election was stolen. A few months ago the message they pushed was no election fraud, freest and fairest election ever. Since then election fraud has been found in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, and Pennsylvania to just name a few. So then the claim became there is not enough election fraud to make a difference. How do you know? You have never checked? You lied to me a few months ago but now I am supposed to listen to you? Biden will be brought down in dishonor. All of these tech giants will be brought down in dishonor. Fauci will be brought down in dishonor. There is a very long list of people that will be brought down in dishonor. How do I know this, how can I predict, maybe people will just get tired of this and move onto something else. You see they accused these people of being liars, nut jobs, tin foil hat conspiracy theorists, deplorables, insurrectionists, and now that they have enough evidence to know they are not only right but can prove it, now you think they will stop? It is one thing to be arrogant and proud, but to touch the apple of the Lord’s eye, that is something you need to get on your knees and pray to the Lord for forgiveness. And yes, with God their is forgiveness that He might be feared. Think about that if you are Biden or Harris or Zuckerberg. There are people as we speak cutting deals to avoid spending the rest of their life in prison or even for getting the death penalty for treason. They are ratting you out. That is how I know your kingdom will be brought down to the ground in dishonor.

Lamentations 2:3-11 God is love, and yes there are things He hates.

There is a tradition that during this siege of Jerusalem Jeremiah was living on Golgotha, the place of the skull, in one of the "eye sockets" that make this hill look like a skull. In other words he is abiding in the cross of Christ and looking at the destruction that takes place on all those who refused to take the way of the cross.

3 In fierce anger he has cut off every horn of Israel. He has withdrawn his right hand at the approach of the enemy. He has burned in Jacob like a flaming fire
that consumes everything around it.

The judgement will come like the wildfires in California. They have several levels to indicate the fire risk. Extreme, critical, and “Run!” "Every horn of Israel" refers to our defense. A cow uses its horns to defend itself. Cut off the horns and they are defenseless. The key to the spiritual warfare is the cross of Christ. That is where Jesus defeated Satan and put him to an open shame.

4 Like an enemy he has strung his bow; his right hand is ready. Like a foe he has slain all who were pleasing to the eye; he has poured out his wrath like fire
on the tent of Daughter Zion.

The crimes are all being dripped out little by little so that all those who are awake can know the truth. What you don’t see is God stringing his bow like an enemy. An enemy doesn’t put it on the front page that they have strung the bow to attack. They don’t warn you and God is picking them off one by one. But then when the attack comes it will be the pouring out of his wrath like fire. This is what we have seen. Already 23 congressmen and Senators have announced they would not be running for reelection. Typically you might get 3 announce this. They are being picked off behind the scenes. The Ghislaine Maxwell trial is being diplomatic, yet everyone knows this touches the very heart of the elites. Some people think Epstein is not really dead. But what is happening, evidence of Election fraud is being dripped out so that now the majority of Americans think the 2020 election was stolen. Evidence of these pedophile rings going all the way to the Clintons is being leaked out. Corruption with the deep state involving FISA warrants that involve Obama is being leaked out. We now know that the same guy who helped create the virus in the Wuhan lab that is behind the pandemic is the same guy who published that using HCQ and Ivermectin is the cure. The elites knew about and have been using the cure for the last two years while outlawing everyone else from using it, censoring anyone who talks about it and slandering and firing doctors who ignore them. But this guy is also the guy who invented Remdesivir, the only allowable treatment by Fauci. This does nothing to cure Covid and only destroys your kidneys. This information has also been made public. Not only so but Hunter Biden's laptop and Ashli Biden's diary are both getting into the public. The Lord is stringing His bow and when He strikes He will be pouring out His wrath like fire.

5 The Lord is like an enemy; he has swallowed up Israel. He has swallowed up all her palaces and destroyed her strongholds. He has multiplied mourning and lamentation
for Daughter Judah.

Hey, don’t worry about this. True, the Lord of all is like an enemy who will swallow you up, but this is the same Lord you have been mocking and ridiculing for years. So hey, no big deal. Don't you remember, this is "allegorical" not literal. These are "myths", you got nothing to worry about. So don't worry as you see people fleeing your sinking ship like rats.

6 He has laid waste his dwelling like a garden; he has destroyed his place of meeting. The Lord has made Zion forget her appointed festivals and her Sabbaths; in his fierce anger he has spurned
both king and priest.

Like a garden? My dad used to have a really nice garden and as soon as the winter was over I had to go out and turn the soil. To lay waste like a garden is to completely turn over the soil and when you do that you get all the roots and rake them out. In the near future you will have only the distant memory of Thanksgiving or Christmas (you can get a photo of Norman Rockwell photos to help you remember what life used to be like).

7
The Lord has rejected his altar and abandoned his sanctuary. He has given the walls of her palaces into the hands of the enemy; they have raised a shout in the house of the Lord as on the day of an appointed festival.

We are seeing a hint of this now. But it is only a hint because you still have the firstfruits, you still have the church in Philadelphia. Once they are raptured you will see God reject His altar, abandon His sanctuary, and give the walls of her palaces into the hands of the enemy. I just heard a video of a woman who is on the PTSA for some state saying that parents who are against CRT are “anti children” and that they need to die. She may sound like a lunatic right now, but shortly that will be the shout you hear in the house of the Lord. In Canada some minister said “Burn it all down” at the sight of people burning down churches in Canada.

8 The Lord determined to tear down the wall around Daughter Zion. He stretched out a measuring line and did not withhold his hand from destroying. He made ramparts and walls lament;
together they wasted away.

And why not. In one church they found a graveyard of hundreds of kids. The Catholic church has been involved in an incredibly extensive pedophile ring of priests. Many religious leaders have been implicated in child trafficking. The crimes are horrendous and God is going to tear it all down. As one person once said “if it take a village to raise a child it also takes a village to allow the children to be abused”. Meanwhile we are hearing Sheriffs, police chiefs and border security all lament that they are wasting away.

9 Her gates have sunk into the ground; their bars he has broken and destroyed. Her king and her princes are exiled among the nations, the law is no more, and her prophets no longer find visions from the Lord.

When your gate sinks into the ground you can’t open it. Right now our gates are opened wide and they estimate over 2 million immigrants will stream into the country this year. But the day is coming when no one will want to come into the country. First no one wanted to come into these denominational churches, then that led to the apostasy to keep the church from dying, that in turn led to the law being no more and the prophets no longer find vision, and you can see the result, no one wants to live in this country. That will be the finishing touch. God leaves the church, the blessing leaves the country, and soon everyone on earth will know it.

10 The elders of Daughter Zion sit on the ground in silence; they have sprinkled dust on their heads and put on sackcloth. The young women of Jerusalem have bowed their heads to the ground.

Where did we go wrong? You forsook the counsel of God, the whole counsel of God. You failed to obey His speaking. You compromised with sin. Who are the "elders" of the daughter of Zion. I suppose that would mean someone like Joe Biden. About a year ago while on a phone call concerning Santa Claus one person he talked to closed with wishing him a merry Christmas and "Let's go Brandon". This expression "Let's go Brandon" is code for "F*** Joe Biden". It became a number 1 single, it is chanted across the country in huge stadiums, everyone by now knows what this means and yet Joe Biden said "yes I agree, Let's go, Brandon". How could this person be an elder? They told us "inflation is good" and "Afghanistan was a victory". Everything they say is turning out to be a lie and the biggest one is about the vaccine being a cure. The day will come when all will see the vaccine was the real virus and then these elders who should have known better and warned us will bow their heads to the ground.

11 My eyes fail from weeping, I am in torment within; my heart is poured out on the ground because my people are destroyed, because children and infants faint
in the streets of the city.

That’s right, you have some people who could care less about God’s people and about the children and infants. But there are some who actually do care, they were simply deceived. They confused being meek with “not making waves” and being godly with being a smiling buffoon. They realized that God is love and ignored that there were things that He hated.

Jeremiah did warn them but they refused to follow him to Golgotha.
