What is a cult?

Dictionary definitions are useless, if you compare the early church to the dictionary definition you would define the early church as a cult. The Bible is also difficult to use as they don't use the word "cult". The Bible, both old and new testaments are far more focused on "false prophets", "antichrists", Jezebel and the synagogue of Satan.

However, in my opinion the very best book on exposing and dealing with cults in the New Testament is the book of James. It seems that every apostle had his ministry founded in his mistake (Peter denying the Lord, Mark backsliding, and Paul persecuting the Body of Christ). Among these James was a "cult leader" of the "concision". A ministry is when the Lord rescued you from something you are then able to rescue others. The word that the Lord gave you which saved you, that is the word you can then share to save others. So there is no one better at helping us to be saved from a cult than James who was overtaken by this error. In my opinion His book exposes the full range of cults including Hitler. But there is one verse that totally obliterates the religious cults, the kind of cults that most people equate with cult leaders and the type that most people are deceived by.

James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

A cult is basically an imbalanced response to the world. First, some will not look after orphans and widows. What that means is the cult is all about supporting the cult leader. You sell flowers at the airport to raise money for his ministry. This kind of religious cult will be so focused on supporting their false prophets ministry that they will exclude all other charitable work. Helping orphans and widows does not refer to the members of the church. If I have to be a member and give all my worldly goods to your organization for you to then help me you are not helping orphans and widows, you are using and abusing your members. So pay careful attention to how these leaders live (not what they say). If they live in a mansion, fly on private planes, drive luxury vehicles, have big gold chains, that should be a very big sign. This does not mean that dressing like a slob, driving a broken down jalopy, or living in a shack is a sign of holiness. The leader of the church is supposed to be an example to the flock.

The second way in which people become unbalanced is the second portion "keep oneself from being polluted by the world". Very often the religious cult will do that, they are so strict about keeping themselves unblemished that they fully cut themselves off becoming dependent on that cult leader. It feeds a holier than thou attitude which would be inoculated against if they were caring for orphans and widows during the day. Remember we are not to go out of the world, but rather to be witnesses to the world. This is the Jim Jones and Charles Mason version of cults.

On the other hand you have those who do contribute to charities which care for widows and orphans but they are polluted by the world. We refer to this kind of cult as "the apostasy". These are religious leaders who portray themselves as pious and sanctified but tell you repeatedly how it is not necessary to listen to the Lord's word or the fellowship of the apostles. "What they said about elders is out of date, what they said about head covering is out of date, what they said about sin and the flesh and hell is out of date." The Lord cared for tax collectors and prostitutes, but He wasn't polluted by the world. Today we have extremists on both sides, and their behavior is cultic. Everyone today seems to be worried about religious extremists, but secularism is just another form of a cult, those who are completely spotted by the world.

If you meet with Christians who care for widows and orphans on the one hand, but on the other are very serious about not being polluted by the world then you will be able to find that narrow way that leads to life.

The US has become the kind of cult that pretends to care for widows and orphans but is polluted by the world. I think most people will agree that the poor which are often widows and orphans are the most oppressed. They were the victims of the mortgage meltdown, they were the ones who wind up fighting in wars and getting killed by roadside bombs. Do you think the huge multinational corporations like Coca Cola, MLB, and Facebook are concerned about the poor? Is it possible that the 1% who have gotten rich and powerful by taking widows houses and giving long prayers as a pretense for being holier than thou have had a change of heart? After the lies the NFL told us concerning CTE and the cigarette companies told us about their product not being a drug, and damage that sugar drinks have done to the nations health and MLB condemning the US while doing business with China, a country actively involved in genocide I am not inclined to listen to them.

The multinational corporations are focused on polluting you with the world. They worship the creature, they serve the flesh and they want to pollute you with the world, so they are a cult.

The election audit has revealed that these large multinational corporations are paying 100's of millions of dollars to steal the elections. If you control who counts the votes you control the democracy and this is what China and Russia do. Our democracy depends on free and fair elections and the only way to confirm that no one is stealing the elections is to do an audit.

James 4:4 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? 2 You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight.

This battle we are seeing over having an audit done is because of sin. Someone has sinned and is willing to kill to cover it up. If you ignore it you will regret it, you will allow a killer to get away with murder. Therefore do the entire investigation under an intense spotlight. Make sure you monitor and observe what is going on at all times and let's get to the bottom of it because we are "directly over the target". We are touching on the sin that will expose this killer. The thief comes not but to kill, steal and destroy. Look at Afghanistan, look at the Ukraine, look at the Southern border, look at the inflation, this stolen election has consequences.

It is the Last Hour

1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour.

2Peter 2:1 But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their lascivious doings; by reason of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And in covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose sentence now from of old lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not.

Consider where we are right now. Imminent economic collapse, on the eve of a surprise nuclear attack. They have prepared bunkers and they have stocked them with food, but not enough for 350 million people. What good is telling everyone what is coming?

If they don't tell anyone they could evacuate to a very safe bunker underground right before the strike. There would not be any mass hysteria, no giant traffic jams, riots or looting to make it difficult to get to safety. Also, since you know this is going to happen in advance you can take action to protect your investments. Financially this catastrophe could be very good for you. You could come out from your hole in the ground in a few months owning the entire US.

But what happens afterwards, will they still want you to be the governor, or president? There will be four groups of people, those who died, those who were injured or suffered loss, those who were not directly harmed but were spectators, and then those like yourself who profited. Some of those who survive will realize you were a gutless coward only looking out for yourself. You can argue you did it for "the greater good" (translated means your greater good and all those who profited along with you). There will be those in the grey area who don't know what to think, kind of confused by the "greater good" argument. There will be those who are oblivious only talking about what the Kardashians did the day before, and then there will be others like yourself who acted in self interest.

All those who acted in self interest will be those who profited and it is now in their own self interest to push this "greater good" narrative talking about how heroic it was to say nothing. Those who are befuddled with the Kardashians will parrot this rather than admit they are clueless as to what is going on. As a result you can fill the airwaves with everyone talking about how courageous it was to say nothing and let millions of people die "for the greater good". But you will have a problem with those who know you are a gutless coward. So you need to get control of their ability to speak. Censor them and pass laws like Australia where you can go in and change their posts in social media. You want to get ahead of this thing.

You can even figure out who is on to you prior to the event, say with a worldwide pandemic that you start and begin to label them as terrorists. When you say they are the biggest threat to this country it is true, they are the biggest threat to you for sure. The world is going to want an enemy, someone to blame and someone to hate so you need to give them that person. Also suggest that those who died were being judged by God. Don't say it directly, rather say things like "we should not say this" and "those who say this are being cruel and insensitive". You plant the seed of this being true while at the same time explain that no one would say this because we are too kind. If the people who died were being judged by God then your crime in doing nothing to save them is mitigated.

Romans 8:1-30 -- Where did Mardi Gras come from?

The Gift of Christ Jesus

1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

It is fascinating to me that there are two distinct variations here, those that live according to the flesh and those who live according to the Spirit. This is evident in the celebration of Christmas for Christians versus the celebration of Xmas for non Christians. We have seen the “battle to put Christ back into Christmas”. This festival reveals those who have the mind of the spirit versus those who have the mind of the flesh. It becomes even more stark with the celebration of Lent and Mardi Gras in places like New Orleans.

5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.

Once again, there are those whose mind is on the flesh. You have Christmas parties, gifts, and all kinds of ads to get you to buy stuff you don’t need. On the other hand you have beautiful Christmas plays and pageants, beautiful hymns of praise, candle light services and many other examples of those who are celebrating with the mind set on the Spirit. In this festival you are in the Spirit and Spirit is in you. Likewise with Lent and believers fasting for the Lord compared with the flesh pot of a celebration known as Mardi Gras.

9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. 12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

This holiday comes with an obligation. I am against the commercial aspects and worldly aspects of this holiday. Yet even so there is an obligation on you because your children will not understand and will think that being a Christian means you are stingy and cheap. I find it interesting that “Santa” is merely a rearrangement of the word “Satan”. The story is a lie and they try to force parents to lie to their children and then have children equate this lie with the Bible. It is an evil poison designed to inoculate young children from believing and receiving the gospel. However, according to the Spirit there is an obligation to treat others with love and charity during this time. We even call it “the Christmas spirit”. The same is true of Mardi Gras, somehow many believe it is part of the worship of the Lord to have this fleshly sinful party each year just like that depicted in the Bible when Israel worshipped the Golden calf.

The adoption to sonship = rapture of the overcomers

14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God Are the children of God. 15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

Christmas is a holiday for children. My parents really went all out, I would be up at the crack of dawn and sure enough something had happened from the night before. New gifts were there and the stockings were filled. Those gifts testified that you were children of your parents and heirs. The rapture is a testimony that all who are raptured are children of God and co heirs with God. This term “adoption” refers to a legal declaration that you are heir to the father’s business. This is a big deal in families where a father has a great business. Some children of the father may find themselves disqualified from being heirs, that is sad, but it happens. At the rapture some will be left behind, they will get a second chance but it will still be sad. As it says in Amos if you are not raptured on that day it will be a bitter day for you. Your singing will turn to mourning.

The idea of Santa in the middle of the night coming down chimneys and giving gifts is the photographic negative of Jesus Christ rapturing all the overcomers who are likened to a treasure and the rapture to the Lord coming as a thief (by coming down the chimney?). In the world those the world despises will very often turn out to be the ones the Lord treasures. The “Cinderella” that does all the work so the evil sisters can go to all the balls. Imagine waking up on this Christmas day and instead of finding gifts under your tree you find all those who were doing all the work have been taken.

18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.

Christmas is all about wearing brand new Christmas clothes. There is a glorious celebration and children wait in eager expectation for this day. In the rapture we are “liberated from the bondage of decay”. He doesn’t just say “believers” but rather “creation”. What about our pets? If you were raptured what would happen to your dog or cat? Creation is waiting eagerly because they all will be liberated from decay.

22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

This is the hope of the gospel. The rapture is likened to the birth of the manchild. Once again Paul is talking about the hope that we wait for patiently, just like we had to wait each year for Christmas.

Pray for what we ought versus the “letter to Santa”.

26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

Another part of this religious festival is that kids are to write a letter to Santa praying for things they want. This can be fleshly or it can be spiritual with the Spirit interceding for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

These are the things we need. We need to be conformed to the image of His Son, we need to know the firstborn Son of God and we need to be born again to be the children of God. We need to be called, we need to be justified, and after all that we need to be glorified. Again, the rapture is the glorification of those who have been born again, called and justified.

Cleansed of any thought of draining the swamp

Luke 18:32 For he shall be delivered up unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon: 33 and they shall scourge and kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

Imagine if the things that are happening today were prefigured in what happened 2,000 years ago. The Lord would have been mocked, nasty little comedians doing despicable mocking on TV, and He would have been shamefully treated. They would create dossier's full of lies, they would have had the NSA spying on Him, and they would have spit on Him. Finally they would have punished him by scourging which is supposed to "cleanse" you. We rip out the flesh from your back with little fish hooks and you will be cleansed of any thought of draining the swamp.

Luke 23:27 And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him. 28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. 29 For behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave suck. 30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. 31 For if they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

There are consequences to crucifying the Lord Jesus. As you have done it will be done to you. This is merciful, it gives you an opportunity to confess your sins and repent. This word was fulfilled in 70 AD, however, pattern is prophecy and we will certainly see this fulfilled again during the 70th week.

How exactly is God going to do that?

12 And Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him. 13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: because thy supplication is heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.


I used to think that Zacharias was praying for a son. But that doesn't make sense. He was in the temple, burning incense because it was his month as Priest to do this for the people. This is a big prayer meeting of the church. I don't think they had come together to pray for an elderly couple to have a son. Look at his response, he can't believe that he and his wife are going to have a son, yet you think that is what he was praying for?

14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. 15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb. 16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn unto the Lord their God. 17 And he shall go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to walk in the wisdom of the just; to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him.

No, I think Zacharias was praying that the children of Israel would turn to the Lord their God. I think he was praying that Elijah would come, as promised in the word, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and for the disobedient to walk in the wisdom of the just, and to make ready a people for the Lord. This prayer is according to the word of God, this is God's will, and he is praying that the kingdom would come. So then Zacharias is joining with God in heaven to pray that His will would be done. But how exactly is God going to do that? He is going to work through man and what man would He work through than a man who has joined His will to God?

18 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.

Bzzzz! Wrong answer. God works through men and God is a God of miracles. When you pray you need to pray believing that God will do it. If I am praying God's word, praying according to God's will, then it is easy to believe God will do this. We should not be going through the motions, rather you pray until you have the full assurance that it is done. Now there have been a number of people in the Bible who have prayed for a confirmation. One principle is that by the mouth of two or three witnesses let a thing be established. So you might ask the Lord for a second or third witness to confirm this word. But we are supposed to know the God we are praying to and thinking that He could not use an elderly couple doesn't make any sense, what about Abraham and Sarah?

19 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak unto thee, and to bring thee these good tidings. 20 And behold, thou shalt be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall come to pass, because thou believedst not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.


All he can think about is this word and yet because of unbelief cannot speak anything about it. You see this kind of superstition all the time, people are afraid to "jinx" themselves. You see it in the church, many respond to the prophesies "when I see it I'll believe it". OK, but that means you are not a man of faith, you walk by sight and not by faith.

This then is the big lesson to take away. We don't want to become lunatic Christians who go to the other extreme. 'I saw a license plate that had a number so I looked up Strong's and that number was for the word "silence" and so I knew the Lord was speaking to me to keep silence'. We can laugh, but it is easy for new believers to behave like this. It is like a pendulum so that later they have a visitation from Gabriel and they are like "nah, that sounds too hard, it is impossible".

No, the lesson is that as Christians we are to learn to hear the Lord's speaking.

How do I know this angel is really from God? Ask the angel what do you think of Jesus Christ, who is He? They are required to tell you and a fallen angel will reveal himself just as an angel of God will reveal himself.

Then if this angel knows your prayers that is further revelation that they are coming from the throne of God where those prayers are kept.

Third, fill yourself up with faith. If a tire is flat it will not do well, likewise if you are flat you will not do well. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Fill yourself with the word of God, listening to His voice, daily. If this is your daily practice it will become very easy for you to hear his voice. Everything in the world is designed to distract you from hearing God speak. It is like basketball, if you watch a basketball game and the visiting team is shooting a free throw you will see the people in the crowd doing everything in their power to distract the player.

God is going to accomplish His will by working with the men on the field. Pray that you will be one of those men.

Romans 8:31-39 A festival of Gifts

31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

This is another aspect of this holiday. “Santa knows who's been naughty and nice”. There is a judgement on this holiday. There are those who get “coal in stocking” signifying the fires of hell. But for others God “gives them all things”. The best gift is Jesus but with Jesus we also get a lot of other gifts. Ken Peters had a dream of the tribulation and in it he saw a revival to end all revivals, all the saints in the Lord acting in the gifts, he described it as people all over the world doing the miracles of Jesus at this time.

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

This is a holiday that is all about the love of God. But it is also about conquering through Him who loved us. Conquering what? A major story is “the Christmas Carol” that talks about scrooge getting a new heart. This was then turned into a cartoon with “How the Grinch stole Christmas” by Dr. Seuss. This is a holiday where we conquer selfishness and greed and it speaks to the New Covenant where God gives us a new heart, a heart of flesh. We often look at how horrifying the tribulation will be but "in all these things we are more than conquerors". In that same dream by Ken Peters he saw his wife being beheaded because she wouldn't take the mark of the beast and he also was beheaded. But after that he was able to see that the executioner repented.

In a nutshell the rapture doctrine refers to many different verses in the New Testament.

1. In the gospels we hear of many stories from the Lord describing a reward/judgement of His servants. You have the parable of the ten virgins, you have the story of the master returning and getting an account from His servants, you have the servants who are watching for the return of their master, you have the two that are in the bed and the two that are in the field. In every case there is a warning that some will be taken and some will be left.

2. We have a direct warning from the Lord to the church in Sardis that if they do not repent and watch for His return that He will come as a thief and they will not know when He comes. In other words the Lord's secret coming will not be a glory to them but a shame.

3. We are given three different analogies to explain how "no one knows the day or the hour" is a charge to watch for his coming. He compares His coming to a thief (no one knows the day or the hour a thief comes therefore you must watch), He compares His coming to a baby being born (no one knows the day or the hour that the baby will be born therefore you must watch) and He compares His coming to a harvest (no one knows the day or the hour that the harvest should take place therefore you must watch).

4. Revelation 12 describes a baby being snatched up, caught up to heaven, from being killed by God's enemies. This term "caught up" or "snatched up" is a Greek word describing being snatched out of the way of certain harm/death. The word is Harpazo and is the word that many refer to as "the rapture".

5. The word "rapture" is also used to refer to when a woman's water breaks during birth. This seems to be the description in Revelation 12.

6. Then there are many references by Paul to this rapture, with two distinct references in 1Corinthians to two different events.

7. The book of Revelation appears to refer to three different events with the third event referring to the salvation of the Jews as a nation.

8. Then of course we have multiple examples -- Lazarus is raised from the dead, Enoch is caught up to heaven prior to the flood and the sign of Jonah.

9. Jesus likened the end of the age to the days of Noah and the days of Lot. These depict believers being rescued from a flood and fiery judgement.

10. We are told clearly in the NT that believers are not appointed to wrath and we are also told that during the Great tribulation God pours out His wrath on the Earth indicating that the rapture of the believers takes place prior to this wrath being poured out just as Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed after Lot was rescued.

The Lion of the Tribe of Judah removes obstacles and causes of stumbling

Lord Jesus you have sent your servants to speak and warn the people of the US and they have not hearkened. They rose early and gave the people of this country plenty of warning, well in advance but they refused to hearken.

Jeremiah 25:12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith Jehovah, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it desolate for ever. 13 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations. 14 For many nations and great kings shall make bondmen of them, even of them; and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.

The US is the great Babylon. We have been the superpower ever since the end of WWII. Queen Elizabeth became queen in 1952 so her death ended her 70 year reign and should be seen as a warning of this coming judgement on the US as a superpower.

15 For thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, unto me: Take this cup of the wine of wrath at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. 16 And they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

The US has forced the world to drink their wine of fornication. Multinational corporations like McDonalds, Coca Cola, CNN and Hollywood have been given to the nations to drink and they have become mad. They reel to and fro, their economy goes from boom to bust, and they have sent a sword among them. The US and the CIA and the various agencies are horrible with sending a sword anywhere and everywhere on this earth.

27 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink ye, and be drunken, and spew, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you. 28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thy hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Ye shall surely drink. 29 For, lo, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name; and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished; for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith Jehovah of hosts. 30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, Jehovah will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he will mightily roar against his fold; he will give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.

As the US has done it will be done to them. Did we fill these other countries with men who took over? So it will happen to the US. Did we destroy their industry, pollute their land? So it will happen to the US. Have we bombed and droned and killed many? So it will be done to you.

Ezekiel 22:25 There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey: they have devoured souls; they take treasure and precious things; they have made her widows many in the midst thereof.

Your sins have been made manifest, what you did with the bioweapons labs, what you did with the vaccine, the whole world has seen your lies and your deceit.

Proverbs 20:2 The terror of a king is as the roaring of a lion: He that provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own life.

Lord Jesus we have prayed to you, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the king of kings, the Lord of lords, we pray that you would see and save. Lord deliver us from these evil men, heal your land, judge righteous judgement. Deal with those who stumble your children, they kidnap them, they traffic them, they groom them, and they try to brain wash them. May they sink in the ocean like a giant mill stone. Amen.

He will not fail

Isaiah 42:1 Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.

This is the Lord Jesus. We pray for justice, but God's answer is to show us His servant, uphold him, the chosen one, someone that God's soul delights in, a person that He can put His Spirit upon. This one will bring forth justice. Everyone seems to miss this, they think the end justifies the means. They think that their behavior can be excused because "they have a good heart". Sure they caused all kinds of harm, but they meant right. No, first behold the Lord, behold what manner of man He is.

2 He will not cry, nor lift up his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.

No advertising. Think of a flower, it doesn't say a thing, the bees are looking for it and not vice versa. The flower beholds the sun, it delights in the sun, and as a result it is full of nectar. The bees are seeking it out, and then we in turn are seeking out honey. You don't need a Madison avenue firm to sell honey. Think of what Peter said "where else can we go, you have the words of eternal life". If they need a marketing campaign then they don't have the words of eternal life.

3 A bruised reed will he not break, and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: he will bring forth justice in truth.

A bruised reed cannot make music and smoking flax does not provide light. In the world it is a competitive situation, and that turns everyone into spectators. For every person in the NBA you have ten thousand that played basketball but have been turned into spectators. You want to bring forth justice in the US or anywhere else? Jesus is going to work with those ten thousand spectators and get them involved in the battle. Better to have ten thousand small candles than one bigger, bright candle. Better to have a choir of ten thousand voices than the song of one person we lift up.

4 He will not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set justice in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his law.

The Lord is working through us, He is transforming us, He is setting justice within each one of our hearts, and when He is done you will see the whole world will love the light and seek the light.

New things do I declare; before they spring forth I tell you

Isaiah 42:5 Thus saith God Jehovah, he that created the heavens, and stretched them forth; he that spread abroad the earth and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: 6 I, Jehovah, have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; 7 to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison-house. 8 I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise unto graven images. 9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.

We have a promise from God. He gave Jesus to us as a covenant, He gave Jesus as a light, and this light helps us to come out of the prison house, out of the dungeon. You can forget your idols, forget about the superstar athlete, or some guy who claims to be so smart. Forget about AI or money, God will not give His glory to any of them. God is the only one that tells us the end from the beginning. The former things, the things the Bible spoke about, they have come to pass. Pattern is prophecy, declaring new things that no one has ever seen before has come to pass, telling us the end from the beginning has come to pass.

Jehovah will go forth as a mighty man

Isaiah 42:10 Sing unto Jehovah a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth; ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. 11 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit; let the inhabitants of Sela sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains. 12 Let them give glory unto Jehovah, and declare his praise in the islands. 13 Jehovah will go forth as a mighty man; he will stir up his zeal like a man of war: he will cry, yea, he will shout aloud; he will do mightily against his enemies.

Stop all this nonsense about "45", it is the Lord that we will praise. It is the Lord who is going forth as a man of war through his saints and his body. There are thousands who are helping with the Pfizer documents, many whistleblowers helping with election fraud, many who are investigating Hunter Biden's laptop. We are revealing the sins of the deep state, revealing the schemes of the enemy at causing the US dollar to collapse and bring in their new one world digital currency. Is "45" one of the many tools that the Lord will use? Maybe, Samson used the jawbone of an ass, so it is certainly a possibility. But make no mistake, Q, "white hats", some of our MAGA officials, Tucker Carlson, and on and on, these ones are tools in the hand of the Lord Jesus, not in the hands of "45". Jesus is the man of war, He will shout aloud, He will do mightily against His enemies.

Yes, we have this big X on the US that is a harbinger of things to come. The question is whether or not the US being X'd out is a harbinger to the rest of the world, or if this X is a harbinger to the US?

I think the picture of President Trump looking at the eclipse with his naked eyes was a warning to the US.

A solar eclipse is considered a warning of judgment to the world. This one went over Washington DC and should be seen as a warning to the US of coming judgement. The second one may be seen as a judgement on the rest of the world that as the US has been X'd out, so they too will be X'd out.

They shall be utterly put to shame

42:14 I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry out like a travailing woman; I will gasp and pant together. 15 I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools. 16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not; in paths that they know not will I lead them; I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things will I do, and I will not forsake them. 17 They shall be turned back, they shall be utterly put to shame, that trust in graven images, that say unto molten images, Ye are our gods.

All these people so arrogantly boasting, mocking God, ridiculing the believers, accusing people of being false prophets, beating up the servants of God. Through all that the Lord held his peace, He was still, He refrained Himself because you had a chance to repent. You had a chance to be forgiven of your pride and arrogance and presumptuousness.

The targum says "as pains on a woman with child my judgments will revealed on them". This is personal, deep pain that you cannot escape. It isn't something happening somewhere else on the news, no it is happening to you. And this judgment will lay waste all those who are lifted up. For two thousand years we warned this was coming and when it comes that Jesus would save and deliver. This will take place just as we said. People that trust in graven images (cash) or molten images (coins) will be utterly put to shame. All those 0s in your brokerage account, they will become 0.
