In case you don't understand why they want crime to increase

Mark 11:18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, for all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

After the rapture the AntiChrist will be released to do his worst and that means making every person get vaccinated (Satan's equivalent to taking his blood instead of the precious Blood of Jesus). Now if you refuse you won't be able to claim you are a Christian because you were left behind, you were obviously rejected by Jesus so now you are simply a rebellious trouble maker and the reason for the collapse of society. You will become the scapegoat.

Releasing felons from jail, refusing to prosecute violent felons, prohibiting police from chasing or stopping criminals and prohibiting people from defending themselves from criminals are all part of this plan. This should clue you in as to how close we are.

Rise up and stand forth, in the midst

Luke 6:6 And it came to pass on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered.

Much of the teaching in Christianity causes your hands to become withered. Not allowed to talk about politics, means can't talk about the vaccine or election fraud, etc.

7 And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath; that they might find how to accuse him. 8 But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man that had his hand withered. Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. 9 And Jesus said unto them, I ask you, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do harm? to save a life, or to destroy it? 10 And he looked round about on them all, and said unto him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored. 11 But they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.

This account is essentially the same as in Mark, but in Matthew you hear about a man having a sheep that falls into a pit and pulls it out. There is more explanation for the Jews concerning helping someone on the Sabbath than in Luke or Mark.

So this is a very important story as it appears in all three gospels, look at the central point:

Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.

Each one of us will be required to stand up in the midst, to take a stand for righteousness.

9 And Jesus said unto them, I ask you, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do harm? to save a life, or to destroy it?

The world is trying to pass laws saying it is not lawful to do good. I saw a woman on the news who was attacked, doxed, and ridiculed for giving gas to a trucker so that he wouldn't freeze in -30 degree weather. I also see on the news that they want to mandate the vaccine to children even though statistically it has been shown that the vaccinated kids are 132 times more likely to get sick from Covid and everyday we see more healthy kids dropping dead after being vaccinated.

Difference between Mark and Matthew and Luke.

Luke 12:33 Sell that which ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief draweth near, neither moth destroyeth. 34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

This verse is very similar to a verse in Matthew but there is no similar verse in Mark. That is interesting because in the tribulation you will have the Mark of the Beast where you cannot buy or sell without taking the mark. It is almost as though the Lord makes it so that this temptation of money is taken away from the believers which helps them mature quickly. We need to do three things: confess that Jesus is the Son of God, love Him and Listen to Him. Taking money away will help the believers love the Lord.

Where your treasure is there will your heart be also.

Thirty Lessons on how to overcome the accuser of the brethren (20-22)

Saying 20

24 Do not envy the wicked, do not desire their company; 2 for their hearts plot violence, and their lips talk about making trouble.

Maxine Waters is a good example of someone who plots violence and her lips talk about making trouble. So the warning here is don’t desire their company, they seem to have an organization and influence, stay away from them, don’t envy what they have built up, don’t desire to get involved with them because they will ultimately all be judged for their crimes.

Saying 21

3 By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; 4 through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.

We need to appreciate the wisdom that the Lord has displayed in building His house. He has filled the church with rare and beautiful treasures. Recently I was considering all the incitement to violence and hate and the attempt to divide us with a race war. What is the best inoculation to this virus? Then it hit me: love one another as Jesus has loved you. If you lived this life it is hard to believe people could fall for this transparent attempt to divide us. While doing this blog I have discovered so many unique and rare saints. You have someone like Vicki Goforth Parnell with bizarre and weird dreams. I am very thankful for her but have no desire to do what she does. Likewise with Dr. Barnett. I never wanted to go to seminary or do any of that, but I am very thankful for this brother to give a solid, trustworthy word. I am thankful for Stan who has studied prophesy for over 40 years. To me trying to vet these prophets on the internet is something I have no patience for. So I am very thankful that this brother has done that work for me. Pastor Sandy Armstrong with his focus on Hebrew, a language I never studied, and the prophecy in the Psalms (a topic I never studied previously) and gematria (another topic I never studied). I am thankful for Dr. Barry Awe who helped sort out all the calendars when I had become completely confused by them. It really helps me appreciate the Lord's word that He would "prepare a place for you". Many different members of the body, many different functions, and yet one body.

Saying 22

5 The wise prevail through great power, and those who have knowledge muster their strength. 6 Surely you need guidance to wage war, and victory is won through many advisers.

A great example of this is given to us in the movie “MoneyBall”. The story is about a General Manager of a small market baseball team trying to compete in a league where some teams had budgets two or three times greater than him. He ultimately teams up with a guy just out of college without any experience in baseball. They use statistical analysis to find players who are undervalued, guys they can get at a big discount. He is incredibly successful setting a new record for consecutive victories in a single season. We have challenges they are not insurmountable, rather we need guidance and the Lord has already filled His house with these rare and beautiful treasures that can provide that guidance. We are going up against AI and this is the contrast with AI, it is one mind to bind all the minds together and to rule them all. That is what Nueralink will do and no doubt this will be used primarily to build a formidable army, but it won't be able to compete with the masterpiece that the Lord is building. AI will be controlled by the wicked who plot violence and who talk of making trouble. As a result this will be the fatal flaw in the programming of AI, it will lack the wisdom to dwell in prudence. AlphaGo and the AI that taught itself chess have this one fatal flaw, they lack prudence. This works in a two dimensional game with a set of rules and where you can predict every possible move. It doesn't work when you throw a billion wrenches into the mix along with God.

Sin is Sin, we all need the blood of Jesus to wash us clean

Luke 16:18 Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth one that is put away from a husband committeth adultery.

In Luke it is crystal clear, sin is sin. Don't even try to explain away sin. The harm is to you, your wife, your kids, the community. Does this condemn you? We all are condemned and are sinners. We all need Jesus. This is also a reference to the apostate church which is described as a harlot, particularly in Hosea.

But look at what Mark says:

Mark 9:43 And if thy hand cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed, rather than having thy two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire. 44 where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 45 And if thy foot cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life halt, rather than having thy two feet to be cast into hell. 46 where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 47 And if thine eye cause thee to stumble, cast it out: it is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell; 48 where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

If you are a Christian and wind up in the tribulation there will be a guillotine chopping heads off. The Lord is telling you it is better to enter life maimed than to go into unquenchable fire. If you take the mark and worship the beast that is equivalent to spiritual adultery. There is no salvation after that. You need to cut this off, and if that means the guillotine, then so be it.

Then look at what Matthew says

Matthew 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28 but I say unto you, that every one that looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. 29 And if thy right eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell. 30 And if thy right hand causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body go into hell. 31 It was said also, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32 but I say unto you, that every one that putteth away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, maketh her an adulteress: and whosoever shall marry her when she is put away committeth adultery.

This goes into even greater detail about pornography, and references some rabbinical teachings for the Jews.

Thirty lessons on how to overcome the accuser of the brethren (23-25)

Saying 23 -- Wisdom is too high for fools

7 Wisdom is too high for fools; in the assembly at the gate they must not open their mouths.

Why do you think they want to censor you? They are unable to debate openly, they get exposed as fools. So then, what happens when they do open their mouths in the gate? You get offensive TV, you get repulsive movies, you get people calling evil good and good evil.

Saying 24 -- Schemers and Mockers are fools

8 Whoever plots evil will be known as a schemer. 9 The schemes of folly are sin, and people detest a mocker.

This was Trump’s error: he was a mocker. He thought it was his skill, talking about “sleepy Joe” or “little Rubio” or how thirsty someone was. People detest a mocker. If Trump had refrained from mocking others he would have been more popular and far less “unpopular”. The problem was that many people detested him to the point they were willing to scheme to get him out of power. These sayings lay out for us the narrow way that leads to life. Now we are seeing some of the other paths people take. Trump may think his mockery is clever, but it created a number of people who hated him. The people scheming to get rid of Trump may think they are clever, but those schemes were the folly of sin. They left a long trail of bread crumbs leading to them and they will be known as evil schemers. These are two examples of fools that should not open their mouth in the gate because wisdom is too high for them.

Saying 25 -- Rescue those being led away to death

10 If you falter in a time of trouble, how small is your strength! 11 Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. 12 If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?

I have been very impressed with those who have not faltered in time of trouble. Mike Lindell, Rudy Giuliani, Steve Bannon, etc. They have been working every day to hold back those staggering toward slaughter. There are clearly people who think the best thing to do right now is to keep your head down, don’t make waves, and hope everything passes. That is foolish. The only reason Cancel culture, censoring, and all the other heinous things that are being done even can happen is because of the “silent majority”. If 50 or 60% of this country would raise their voices in opposition to all these things then this would be over immediately. The best way to deal with a bully is to punch him in the nose.

Let's consider a specific example of this. There are those who use the smallpox and polio vaccine as an example of why we should accept the vaccine mandate.

No one is denying that the vaccine that eliminated smallpox or polio were great developments. All we are saying is that bringing them in as support for the vaccine mandate is idiotic.

1. Both of those vaccines took 50 years to develop, had several attempts that were neither safe nor effective and it wasn't until we had 12 years of data that we mandated them. Therefore they are evidence that supports the vaccine hesitant that are arguing against a vaccine mandate of an Experimental vaccine.

2. Was there ever a pandemic in human history that was ended with a vaccine? No. Your use of the smallpox vaccine suggests you may not understand that and have confused the two issues.

3. What has always worked in the past is human immunity, staying home if you are sick with symptoms, and treatments that help boost the immune system. I have used HCQ twice and both times it worked remarkably well. Not just for me but also for my wife and son. We have learned that there is a direct correlation between how serious you get sick from Covid and how much vitamin D you have in your system. Take vitamin D and you won't end up in the ICU. We have also learned that Quercetin and Zinc is a very powerful way to boost your immune system to viral infections.

4. There is a reason that using a vaccine is not only not going to work at putting an end to the pandemic but could actually cause new and deadlier variants. We know the virus mutates rapidly. We also know there are hundreds of millions of people worldwide who are infected with one variant or another and we know the vaccine does not give you immunity to the entire virus but only one piece of it. So a variant like Delta or Omicron will arise and there is no protection. All you are doing with this vaccine is creating an environment where variants will be favored.

Also, they have snarky remarks about using bleach is simply a fool being a parrot for foolishness. HCQ is used as a bleach at a concentration of 10,000x greater than what you use as a therapeutic. Try taking 10,000 Tylenol and see how long you last. The people who make jokes about HCQ are fools and should not have opened their mouth in the gate.

I appreciate Djokovic, he was courageous in his stance against the vaccine and that had to raise awareness and credibility to many others around the world. Not only so but he paid a very high price and so all those who justify themselves because of how much it would have cost to do the right thing will not have a case. In the final analysis we remember Mohammed Ali because he took a courageous stance against the Vietnam war and paid a price. I expect we'll remember Djokovic for the same reason, paying a price to take a stance against the vaccine mandate. Of course the best example is Schindler, of Schindler's list fame.

Take up your cross and Follow the Lord

Luke 6:21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. 22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. 23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy: for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for in the same manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

This is fascinating, this is not in the book of Mark. In Luke you are blessed if this happens because it is your choice to follow the Lord, during the tribulation it will no longer be your choice, so there is no blessing associated with it. Therefore we can see this verse as a prophecy of what the tribulation will be like and also a confirmation that there will be a pre-tribulation rapture.

Another fascinating difference between Mark and Luke

Mark 9:49 For every one shall be salted with fire. 50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost its saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace one with another.


Both Mark and Luke have the part about Salt being good and not losing your saltiness. But only Mark says that everyone shall be salted with fire. This corresponds to the promise to the church in Philadelphia that they would be kept from the tribulation that was going to come on the whole earth. Once again, evidence that Mark is for those who go into the tribulation while Luke is for the church in Philadelphia.

Let your light shine

Luke 8:16 And no man, when he hath lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but putteth it on a stand, that they that enter in may see the light.

Another fascinating example, both Luke and Mark say the same thing about the lamp being put on a stand. The church is a lampstand. But that is not what Matthew says.

Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house. 16 Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

This is clearly a word to the city of Jerusalem.

Confused at why God would allow this vaccine to kill you and destroy your immune system?

5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.

They were complaining about the Manna. That is our daily bread where we live by the word of God. Not every Christian is praying and musing over the word of God everyday. This is why they are confused. They have no light, no leading, no daily speaking from God. I agree that if they were speaking with God every day through His word it would not make sense, but these ones weren't.

6 And Jehovah sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

So the question is why would God send these serpents? On the one hand it is impressing the children of Israel with how important it is to be in daily communion with the Lord. On the other hand we are being trained to enter the good land and we can't do that apart from the Lord. Apart from Him we can do nothing.

7 And the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, because we have spoken against Jehovah, and against thee; pray unto Jehovah, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

I don't think anyone will understand or stop being confused until they realize that they had sinned. They spoke against the Lord and they spoke against His servants who were warning everyone. They were pretend Christians. They were the ones that the Lord says "depart from me for I never knew you". Think of them dying in the wilderness as the "dearly departed".

8 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a standard: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he seeth it, shall live. 9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it upon the standard: and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked unto the serpent of brass, he lived.

Yep, the answer is to look upon the crucified Christ. You are heading to the cross. It is when we are on the road to the cross that we spend the most time on our knees in serious prayer.

Training is over

9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was priced, whom certain of the children of Israel did price; 10 and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.

We are being trained to be kings. I remember the Godfather training Michael, telling him someone will betray you. We need this training. We need to go through the cross. We need to be betrayed, sold out, so that when it really matters we will be ready and we will be inoculated.

Twice in my life I became "unequally yoked" with people I knew to be liars. I downplayed it, I trivialized it. I made excuses and let me tell you, I sure did live to regret that. You make excuses because there is a cost to pay, you are already entangled a little. It is like that song "a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest". But I learned my lesson. I learned that the cost I will have to pay if I disregard liars is far greater than the cost I will have to pay if I take immediate action.

As a result, when Fauci was lying about the vaccine I didn't need to know why. I knew that having had Covid was the best inoculation and Fauci telling people they still needed the vaccine wasn't true. I knew that mandating an EAU was illegal. I knew they were lying about HCQ, it was safe and effective and the idea that it was "bleach" was incredibly disingenuous. I knew when Fauci said "to question me is to question science" that he was a liar and that was it.

So when DeBlasio mandated the vaccine for teachers within 24 hours I was looking into what I needed to do for early retirement. I didn't have to know why he was lying. You don't need to lie about a life saving vaccine that is both safe and effective. If you have to lie about it then I don't want any part of it.

When we (my wife and I) both left our jobs we also needed to sell the house. No one wants to do that. We were still about ten years away from when we planned on retiring. But I had also had an experience where the Lord had told me to sell my investments and give to the Lord. Had I done what He told me I would have turned 20k into 100k in one day. I had very specific instructions -- sell this at the market, buy this at the market, put in a sell at this price, put in a buy at this price, with a price target of this other price. All of that took place in a single day. Since I would have been doing those trades on margin it would have been 100k. However, I didn't do it and ultimately my 20k became 0.

So I didn't care what my plans were, the Lord says sell and move, I was all in. Sure enough it was the best time to sell and we had enough to make our move. The Lord provides what you need, not what you want. We need these lessons, we need to reflect on our failures, on the times we didn't listen to the Lord so that it is easier for us to listen and obey in the future.
