You put off the day of disaster and bring near a reign of terror

Amos 6: 2 Go to Kalneh and look at it; go from there to great Hamath, and then go down to Gath in Philistia. Are they better off than your two kingdoms? Is their land larger than yours? 3 You put off the day of disaster and bring near a reign of terror.

Wow, that is exactly what happened with Hitler. Chamberlain put off the day of disaster, and instead he brought in a reign of terror. He appeased Hitler rather than confronting him head on, and early.

I played sports for many years, pretty much ten years straight and I was on a number of teams: swim team, hockey team, football team, rugby team, track team. But there is one play that has bothered me over and over and over again.

I was in England our house was playing another house for the school rugby championship. Their team had the best scrum half in the school and probably in all of England. Our team had the best fly half in the school though he had one flaw which is he couldn't tackle. I knew this going into the game, and I was made the inside center. Now I knew that if the scrum half on their team broke free our fly half would not be able to tackle him and as it turned out that is what happened, he scored a try and that was the difference in the game. What I should have done and it would have been very forward of me is to suggest I be the fly half and our fly half be the inside center and we simply move our "quarterback" over one man. I doubt anyone would have listened to me even though our captain who assigned the positions was a close friend. On the other hand I could have talked to the fly half before the game and told him if the scrum half breaks free we switch, I will tackle him and you take my man. This would have been unorthodox, but I believe he would have agreed, he had to have known he was going to have a problem with the scrum half.

This is the point, look at the situation, examine it, figure out where your weaknesses are and where their strengths are and do something to prevent a reign of terror.

Our strength is the word of truth. We don't have the weapons that the globalists have, we don't have the resources that they have, we don't control the media and the UN and so many other power centers. But we have the light that shines in the darkness and the darkness does not overcome it. We have many saints who are very skillful but are they ready to stand up and meet the enemy head on? We have to be able to meet their strength head on.

Christians will be vilified just as the Jews were in WWII. A woman was just arrested in the UK for praying silently.

18 I will love thee, O Lord, my strength. 2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Call upon the Lord


3 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

That is how you will be saved

4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. 5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. 6 In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

God will hear in His temple.

7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. 8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. 9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

Uh oh, now y'all in trouble!

10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. 11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. 12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire. 13 The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

Hail stones and coals of fire, nice combination!

14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them. 15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. 16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. 17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

Yes, the rapture is Biblical

18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay. 19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me. 20 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. 21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

This is a test, will you keep the ways of the Lord or will you wickedly depart?

22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me. 23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.

Will you focus on His word or allow the world to mess with your mind.

24 Therefore hath the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight. 25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright; 26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.

As you have done it will be done to you.

27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks. 28 For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. 29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.

Into the battle my brothers, let's run through a troop! Let's leap over a wall! Let's show up in heaven with a testimony!

30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. 31 For who is God save the Lord? or who is a rock save our God? 32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. 33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places. 34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. 35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great. 36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

Wow, so much to learn from the Lord!

37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed. 38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet. 39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. 40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me. 41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the Lord, but he answered them not. 42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

Wow, so much better than being a doormat.

43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me. 44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me. 45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places. 46 The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. 47 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me. 48 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man. 49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name. 50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

Thank you Lord! You are the lion of the tribe of Judah.

Mark 4:21-34 Do your job

A Lamp on a Stand

The previous parable was “the parable of the sower”. If you are the sower your job is to sow seeds, you don’t need to worry about birds or thorns or rocks. If I were the farmer, if that is my land, my heart, then I should be focused on dealing with the rocks, dealing with the thorns and trying to build up a deep and rich soil for a heart. But now we are talking about a lamp. If you are lamp on a stand your job is to shine the light.

21 He said to them, “Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don’t you put it on its stand? 22 For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. 23 If anyone has ears to hear, let them hear.”

We have a purpose, we have a function, you need to do it. Right now we are watching Attorney Generals coming down hard on Covid19 violations while ignoring looting, rioting, rape and even murder. They release these criminals back on the streets to commit even more heinous and vicious crimes. Your job is to keep people safe, not enforce the totalitarian state. Do your job. We see the FBI holding onto Hunter Biden’s laptop for a year even though the evidence of criminal behavior that by law must be reported within 24 hours was all over the laptop. Do your job. To put the light under a bowl or a bed indicates that they are being bribed, nice paycheck, nice house, nice benefits, whatever it is they will be judged for it.

24 “Consider carefully what you hear,” he continued. “With the measure you use, it will be measured to you—and even more. 25 Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.”

Wow, we don’t generally realize this. Many people will do whatever they are told to advance their career. Rather than shine the light they’ll cover it up because of the bowl or the bed, the paycheck or benefits. But here we learn that with what measure you measure it will be measured to you. Cuomo dished it out to Kavanaugh saying we need to pay attention when women file a complaint, well ten or eleven women filed a complaint against him and then the AG determined the complaints are credible and there is sufficient evidence to try him. We have an expression “what goes around comes around”. The day of judgement will come when your corruption will be revealed and then you will have to pay for it just as you did to others. Our job is to be the light, we are not to allow anyone to put a bucket or a bowl over our light, and regardless of how dark it is we need to shine. The Lord is not surprised by what is going on, the New Testament is 27 books, that is three times nine. The lamp on Hanukkah has nine lamps, the Lord will supply all the oil we need to shine.

The Parable of the Growing Seed

26 He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. 27 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. 28 All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. 29 As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.”

This is cool. You have no idea who is listening or what word that you sowed is growing in someone’s heart. Often you discover a year or a few years later that those words made an impact. The word of God is powerful, trust it to do its work.

The Parable of the Mustard Seed

30 Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? 31 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. 32 Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.”

This is really ridiculous. Mustard is an herb and is often put in a garden to repel other pests. The idea that the “mustard” plant would become a tree for birds to roost in is as ridiculous as a bunch of crows sitting on a scarecrow. But this is what our government has become. They are supposed to expose and root out corruption, instead they have become a roost for every foul bird. These are the same birds that are stealing the word of God from people in the parable of the sower.

33 With many similar parables Jesus spoke the word to them, as much as they could understand. 34 He did not say anything to them without using a parable. But when he was alone with his own disciples, he explained everything.

The end of the road for cowards

Amos 6:4 You lie on beds adorned with ivory and lounge on your couches. You dine on choice lambs and fattened calves. 5 You strum away on your harps like David and improvise on musical instruments. 6 You drink wine by the bowlful and use the finest lotions, but you do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph. 7 Therefore you will be among the first to go into exile; your feasting and lounging will end. The Lord Abhors the Pride of Israel 8 The Sovereign Lord has sworn by himself—the Lord God Almighty declares: “I abhor the pride of Jacob and detest his fortresses; I will deliver up the city and everything in it.”

France was content to ignore the ruin that Hitler was inflicting on Eastern Europe. France thought their Maginot line was an impregnable fortress. It was detested, Germany just went around the wall. As a result Paris was delivered up and everything in it. These are not idle threats from the Lord. If you have ever been to one of these "5 star restaurants" that is what is described here. A little music in the corner, wealthy people eating little delicacies and selling their latest perfume. All these rich people with their tv shows and youtube channels showing them lounging by the pool, going to feasts, and having their personal trainer work with them for two hours a day so they don't get fat. That is the picture, meanwhile in the real world Detroit is in shambles, Baltimore is in shambles, Chicago, NYC and LA are more dangerous than being in a war zone. The US manufacturing was shipped overseas crushing our labor market. Our real estate is sold off to foreigners pushing the price of real estate sky high while the bottom 80% of this country slides into poverty. They promote defunding the police under the banner that they are helping minorities, as a result looting is out of control, stores are shutting down and those who live in these neighborhoods see the ruin that this caused. Do you think God approves of these gated communities with their private security?

9 If ten people are left in one house, they too will die. 10 And if the relative who comes to carry the bodies out of the house to burn them asks anyone who might be hiding there, “Is anyone else with you?” and he says, “No,” then he will go on to say, “Hush! We must not mention the name of the Lord.” 11 For the Lord has given the command, and he will smash the great house into pieces and the small house into bits.

Just read the diary of Anne Frank. This was the case for those Jews who were not rounded up first. It was true of the Jews in France. What are these "great houses" and these "small houses"? If we look at Germany we get a picture. Some people hid out in churches, others hid out in the attic. With today's technology and drones it will be easy to see those who are hiding and smash them. You might think "why? These are good people." The problem was they needed to hit them head on from the very beginning, but they were fearful, they didn't want to make waves, they were afraid of getting hurt, etc. Why did you let them insult and castigate you for years? The Lord said "if they don't welcome you in this city shake off the dust as a testimony against them and move to the next city". If all the Jews had done that, selling their houses, their businesses and left Germany then the Germans would have cast Hitler out of office as being an idiot and a demigod. But they didn't they ignored the Lord's advice, listened to their own mind, and so now this is where that road for all the cowards ends up.

For those who turn justice into poison

Amos 6:12 Do horses run on the rocky crags? Does one plow the sea with oxen?

Wow, I can’t stand this. You warn people of the impending danger and it is like they are on drugs, “can Hitler’s tanks get through our concrete barricade”? No, he can’t, so they are complacent. But Hitler didn’t go through the concrete barricade, he went around it. So the real question was can Hitler’s tanks drive through the forest of Belgium? Yes! Learn from the mistakes the French made, learn from the mistakes the British made, learn from the mistakes the Jews made. All of these are examples for us to help us find God and find life.

But you have turned justice into poison and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness—

Kari Lake followed the rules of the election and challenged the results according to those rules, the judge looked at her evidence and agreed to proceed on two counts and as far as I am concerned the evidence was overwhelming that the election for governor of Arizona was stolen. Yet the judged ruled against her and then her opponent wanted to fine her for going to court. This is turning justice into poison. The January 6th hearings are the same, we can see from the videos key people in that riot that were never charged even though we know their names and can identify them. Yet others who seem to have simply had minor infractions of trespassing are put in jail for almost two years and then found guilty. This "righteousness" is now "bitterness".

13 you who rejoice in the conquest of Lo Debar and say, “Did we not take Karnaim by our own strength?” 14 For the Lord God Almighty declares, “I will stir up a nation against you, Israel, that will oppress you all the way from Lebo Hamath to the valley of the Arabah.”

You think you are so strong, so impregnable, with your riches and fortresses and high tech weaponry. Well the Lord is going to humble you. He will bring those to oppress you. This will teach you a lesson. Don't trust in chariots, don't trust in horses, trust in the Lord. Do righteousness and justice.

Mark 4:35-41 Jesus Calms the Storm

35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” 36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. 37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” 39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. 40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”
41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”

We had a furious squall, there was a vaccine mandate for many with a lot of insults hurled at anyone who didn't get the vaccine. That storm seems to have quieted down. Likewise with the battle over the rise in crime in the cities and the defund the police movement. That storm has also quieted down. There is another squall over election fraud versus the insurrection of January 6th. That also has died down. Then there is another squall over teaching CRT in the classroom and race baiting. Some people believe this is critical to teach that racism is systematic in this country, others believe that this teaching is reverse racism. What is interesting is how much all these battles seem to split the country in half. Visualize for a moment the super rich in their mega yachts, private planes and gated communities. People that are paying $200,000 a year for their private security while screaming that we need to defund the police for everyone else. These are people who know that they are the source of the problem, they are outnumbered 99 to 1, but if they can just get the 99 to fight with each other 45 versus 44, then we will be too distracted to see who the real problem is.

We have seen the evidence presented of major crimes by governors, presidents, rioters, looters, and many others and yet for some reason no one arrests them. For four years we can be calling to “lock her up” or “drain the swamp” or whatever and yet nothing happens.

State legislators ask for the routers or the codes to open up and investigate their voting machines and they are ignored.

Here we get a picture of what is going on, the wind, the waves, these are controlled by demons. The race baiting, the fraud, the lies, the deceits, all the crimes that make everyone crazy and stir up a furious squall, these are demons, evil people with an evil agenda. We are being played and if we would grow up this whole squall would cease. Being against pollution doesn’t mean I have to be for AOC to get $10 trillion to “solve” this problem. Being against bias doesn’t mean I have to be for teaching elementary school kids to be “anti racist racists”. Being against crooked cops doesn’t mean I have to be for making the inner city unsafe. The real issue that we should all get behind is something called the Jubilee. The idea is that the US started out as a place that was “a land of opportunity” where those who worked hard could succeed. But year by year some people became more wealthy to the point they could use their wealth to tip the scales of justice. This is the real elephant in the room. A billionaire that gets caught committing a crime will not be treated the same by the justice system as a poor person. This guy from FTX is being treated special because he gave money to the Democrats even though he defrauded investors of $8 billion. As you get trampled by this elephant you may think that the issue is pollution. You saw your community destroyed by some multi national corporation. Or you may think the issue is corrupt cops who framed your dad for a crime to cover for someone with power. Or you might think that the people teaching you about this “systematic racism” are your friends, not realizing that the most systematically racist thing in this country is the public school. The elephant in the room is the 1% who feel much safer when 45% are fighting the 44% and who want to make sure we are too stupid to realize what they are doing.

This is what the Lord showed me

7 This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me: He was preparing swarms of locusts after the king’s share had been harvested and just as the late crops were coming up. 2 When they had stripped the land clean, I cried out, “Sovereign Lord, forgive! How can Jacob survive? He is so small!” 3 So the Lord relented. “This will not happen,” the Lord said.

We have several previous “pandemics”. SARS, MERS, Ebola and all of them ceased. They were a token of what the Lord would do and He relented when we prayed. Taiwan paid attention and after SARS in 2004 they instituted strict measures which they followed in December, long before anyone else was taking Covid19 seriously. Taiwan appeared paranoid. But six months later it is clear that they took those warnings to heart. They only had 6 dead and they had the lowest morbidity rate per capita of any country by a very large margin.

4 This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me: The Sovereign Lord was calling for judgment by fire; it dried up the great deep and devoured the land. 5 Then I cried out, “Sovereign Lord, I beg you, stop! How can Jacob survive? He is so small!” 6 So the Lord relented. “This will not happen either,” the Sovereign Lord said.

We have had several “apocalyptic” fires in California and Australia. Again, they were a token of what the Lord would do and He relented when we prayed.

7 This is what he showed me: The Lord was standing by a wall that had been built true to plumb, with a plumb line in his hand. 8 And the Lord asked me, “What do you see, Amos?” “A plumb line,” I replied. Then the Lord said, “Look, I am setting a plumb line among my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.


The Lord is going to build His house straight and true. So while He has listened to our prayers in the last few decades and relented, He will spare us no longer. These previous cases were warnings, now it is the real thing.

9 “The high places of Isaac will be destroyed and the sanctuaries of Israel will be ruined; with my sword I will rise against the house of Jeroboam.”

The high places of Isaac may be translated as the altars of laughter. The sanctuaries of the US are not the house of God, they are the TV and Youtube. They will be destroyed. It is very difficult to be making jokes at a time when the Earth is on fire. Already with Corona virus these comedies like Saturday Night Live can’t operate because it violates social distancing. They are ruined. The Lord will rise against this new world order. Jeroboam didn't want the people to return to the Lord so he set up idols and said that they were to worship before these idols. He was the forerunner to set up a new "world order" for Israel.

Freedom is not free

Amos and Amaziah

6:10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent a message to Jeroboam king of Israel: “Amos is raising a conspiracy against you in the very heart of Israel. The land cannot bear all his words. 11 For this is what Amos is saying: “‘Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will surely go into exile, away from their native land.’” 12 Then Amaziah said to Amos, “Get out, you seer! Go back to the land of Judah. Earn your bread there and do your prophesying there. 13 Don’t prophesy anymore at Bethel, because this is the king’s sanctuary and the temple of the kingdom.” 14 Amos answered Amaziah, “I was neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but I was a shepherd, and I also took care of sycamore-fig trees. 15 But the Lord took me from tending the flock and said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’16 Now then, hear the word of the Lord. You say, “‘Do not prophesy against Israel, and stop preaching against the descendants of Isaac.’ 17 “Therefore this is what the Lord says: “‘Your wife will become a prostitute in the city, and your sons and daughters will fall by the sword. Your land will be measured and divided up, and you yourself will die in a pagan country. And Israel will surely go into exile, away from their native land.’”

Amos sets his face as a flint, he knows God is speaking through him. That is his strength. We should not be surprised or think it a strange thing that these attacks would include a false witness. Instead the Lord said we should rejoice that we are counted worthy to suffer reproach for His name. The Lord told us that the weak and foolish things of the world have been chosen by Him to confound the wise. That is what the previous visions do, they expose the wise who would ignore the Lord’s warnings and who would appease the antichrist and open the door for a reign of terror. He exposed the foolish trust in their leaders who had designed a “fortress” to protect them from God’s judgements. Amaziah’s job is to protect Israel as a priest to God. He should be warning them and getting them to repent and return to the Lord that they might live. Instead he is forbidding this warning to be spoken, so as a result Israel will be ravished. This is just like a husband is supposed to protect and provide for his wife, but because he isn’t doing that it is a just judgement that his wife becomes a prostitute after the nation has been carried off to Babylon. There is a consequence in whatever we do. If you shut your ears to the Lord’s word there is a consequence. Amaziah’s wife becomes a prostitute, his sons are killed, and he dies in a pagan land. It’s like the saying “freedom is not free”. You need to pay the price, you can pay God now or you can pay God later, but one way or another you will pay the price.

The Time is ripe

Amos 8:1 This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me: a basket of ripe fruit. 2 “What do you see, Amos?” he asked. “A basket of ripe fruit,” I answered. Then the Lord said to me, “The time is ripe for my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.


I think before the fires in Australia, in California and the Coronavirus it would have been very hard to make sense of this. The point is “the time is ripe”. This word was locked up before but now the time is ripe and so you can understand it. The mortgage crisis really brought it home to me that God can spare them no longer. They knew what they were doing, they knew all these people would lose their houses and the economy would have a melt down, but they also knew the Government would bail them out and the poor taxpayers would have to pay. In Hebrew "ripe fruit" is a homonym for "the end". You want to know what to look for to know we are at the end? Look for ripe fruit. Look for the golden grains of the wheat to be ripe and look for the black, poisonous grains of the tares to be ripe.

3 “In that day,” declares the Sovereign Lord, “the songs in the temple will turn to wailing. Many, many bodies—flung everywhere! Silence!” 4 Hear this, you who trample the needy and do away with the poor of the land, 5 saying, “When will the New Moon be over that we may sell grain, and the Sabbath be ended that we may market wheat?”— skimping on the measure, boosting the price and cheating with dishonest scales, 6 buying the poor with silver and the needy for a pair of sandals, selling even the sweepings with the wheat.


For the last two years we have seen people being silenced, censored, de-platformed, shadow banned, etc. We have seen the Main Stream media completely ignore major stories while droning on and on about absurd and idiotic stories. The world has been saying "go to sleep, nothing to see here" while many believers have been trumpeting the warning of what is taking place. Elon Musk trying to make an army of cyborgs is straight out of the Bible. All the steps taken for a "vaccine passport" and trying to prevent people from traveling or even buying or selling is straight out of the Bible. Russia invading the Ukraine and the Euphrates river drying up is straight out of the Bible. We were told about the signs in the heavens that we have seen, we were told about this latest government that Israel has formed. For those who are awake we have heard the midnight cry that the Bride groom cometh.

What is going to happen is that those who refused to heed the warnings will wake up suddenly with many, many bodies flung everywhere. The rapture will have taken place, the bombs will have come down, and Satan with all the fallen angels will be cast out of heaven. That is when they will wail. But true repentance means you realize that you are reaping what you have sowed. Did you trample the poor? Did you do away with the needy? Did you cheat people, did you have dishonest scales? Were you profiting from human trafficking or sweat shops? Did you put filler and sweepings into the food you sold? If so, welcome to the world you helped build, time to learn to wail.

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

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

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

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

You have to discern between news, evidence, receipts and just gossip. I am not interested in stories that seem to slander or insult groups of people, I am interested in evidence of corruption and fraud by elected government officials. I am interested in holding government officials accountable for their actions. Along those lines I am not interested in much of the information on the Hunter Biden laptop concerning his personal life. Even if it was criminal that is for the FBI and police to deal with, not me. However, I am interested in the information that ties Joe Biden to China and exposes Joe Biden’s hypocrisy and corruption. Election fraud should concern every American. The pandemic that started in the bioweapons lab and was funded by Fauci should concern every person on Earth. Supply chain problems, inflation, the border crisis, and the alarming surge in crime should concern every American. This push for a war with Russia over the Ukraine should concern the US and all of our allies.

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

The father and mother of this country refers to the founding fathers, the constitution, and the great men like Martin Luther king Jr. There are those who claim people who quote MLK Jr are racist because of that quote. That is the same as cursing your father or mother. There are those who say that the amendments to the constitution are not absolute, they are cursing their mother and father. There are those who are actively trying to replace American citizen voters with aliens brought in across the border, they are cursing their father and mother. Removing historical markers to people like Teddy Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, and George Washington are examples of cursing your father and mother. This past week West Point removed a portrait of Robert E. Lee. Now Robert E. Lee was the general who led the Confederate troops, but he also was the cadet that graduated from West Point with the highest honors ever, and by all accounts he was a very brilliant general, one of the very best in our history. It used to be we could understand that Hitler was evil, a psychopath and a megalomaniac while at the same time looking at the strategy of Blitzkrieg and learn from it. Regardless of their faults, we should not ever curse our father or mother.

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

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

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

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