Dying with the Lord and having a blessed hope

  1. 1 Kings 11:26, which reads:
"And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon's servant, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow woman, even he lifted up his hand against the king."

We must take the way of the cross, we must believe and obey, then we must confess our sins and repent from them. After that we must put our flesh to death. We are to crucify the flesh with the passions and the lusts. Jeroboam did not do that, he was rebellious and divisive. This is what happens if you do not put the flesh to death, you will be conformed to this evil age.

Micah 4:5:
"All the nations may walk in the name of their gods, but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever."

There is no expression of Jesus in the unbelievers, or in Jeroboam. Simply grasping at power and position.

2 Timothy 2:11
"Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with him, we will also live with him."

This is our blessed hope. The people in the world are "hopeless". They walk in the name of their gods, their idols. They express the flesh with its desires.
  1. 2 Kings 13:13, which reads:
"And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat upon his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel."

As a whole the church age has been a mixed bag. We have had successes and failures. When we have godly leadership like Elisha it is easy to walk the path of righteousness and when we have evil advisors the church has also become corrupt. Ultimately there is only one Savior and that is Jesus Christ, Lord of Lords and King of kings.

Nahum 2:6:
"The river gates are thrown open and the palace collapses."

This is not necessarily a bad thing. We need to learn the lesson that Jesus is on the throne and nothing happens outside of His sovereignty. If you build with wood, hay and stubble it will collapse. If your house is infested with termites it will collapse. This is how we learn. The Lord allows us to go after our own idea, discover that everything is collapsing and then we turn to Him for salvation and now we are willing to walk the narrow way that leads to life.

Titus 2:13
"While we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ."

During the church age we have learned a lot, we have gotten into the word, we have filled the earth with the gospel of Jesus Christ and we also have equally horrific failures. Ultimately, the one constant for the last two thousand years is that we are waiting for the appearing of the glory of our Great god and savior, Jesus Christ.

I hesitated in sharing this

https://rumble.com/v2jc1bk-the-soul-leechers-dream-12-8-22-614am-uploaded-4-19-23.html

The Soul Leechers Dream 12-8 -22@ 6:14am (Uploaded 4-19-23)

But then this morning I had a dream where there were leeches all over both of my arms. I pulled them off my right arm and pulled over half of them off my left arm when I got sprayed with blood after pulling another one off.

I think the Lord was not happy that I had not shared this and was making it clear to me that these leeches are parasites sucking the blood of His children.

Let us consider what Joel says about this sign in the heavens

Joel 2:31 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.

In 2017 we had the Revelation 12 sign (the first half). Since that time we have only had one time when we had a solar eclipse followed two weeks later by a blood moon. Last Fall (October 25 and Nov 8).

Then, look at what Joel says happens from this point with the blood moon to the next time the sun and moon are darkened.

3:1 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,


There is a restoration of the captivity of God's people and He divides them into two groups, Judah and Jerusalem. Usually it is "Judah and Israel" so this is "rare". There are two ways to look at this and both are valid. First we can see this as referring specifically to the Jews who have returned to Israel with their captivity with regards to the temple mount in Jerusalem. However, the church is the Jerusalem which is above and we are told that every word in the Bible is profitable for instruction to the church, so this can also be a reference to the church. Judah is 1/12th of the tribes of Israel and I suspect that about 1/12th of the Christians will be raptured prior to the tribulation. So then this could also refer to the rapture, Israel would refer to the left behind saints and their captivity is not ended at this time.

2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.


This sounds like the Ezekiel 38 war and what we are seeing is Russia, Iran, Ethiopia, Libya and all the countries mentioned in Ezekiel 38 gathering together and becoming allied against Israel.

3 And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.

This took place on Epstein island. We have learned that Disney land is a place where they have facilitated the trafficking of children and we also learn that the open border with Mexico has facilitated human trafficking. This is all coming out into the light today.

4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;

5 Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:

6 The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.

Tyre and Sidon are wealthy cities of trade and commerce like NYC and London. What we are also seeing right now is a collapse of the US dollar as a reserve currency, a collapse of the banking system and people fleeing to gold and silver. The reason these currencies are collapsing is because of the corruption and theft of our crooked politicians and corporate oligarchy.

7 Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head:

8 And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the Lord hath spoken it.

Sabeans are always portrayed as very wealthy thieves. They robbed Job. What did the world do to the Jews during the Holocaust? That is what the Lord will do to the children of the Gentiles during the tribulation. This is a period of time when "as you have done it will be done unto you". We are seeing this with the grooming of children in the public schools in the US and with the CRT being taught to them. You robbed others children, now your children will be robbed.

9 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:

10 Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.

11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Lord.

12 Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.

We are not just hearing the drumbeats of war, they are proclaiming it loud and clear. Putin, Biden and all the various generals are all proclaiming a war. They are telling people to wake up, they are gathering their ships and tanks and soldiers together.

13 Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.

What we have seen every day, every week, every month is revelation after revelation that their wickedness is great. We are learning about the vaccine, about the pandemic and about the Biden crime family. Today on Mario Bartiromo a senator who had seen the banking data revealed that the number of family members is much more than they had thought, now numbering nine, the number of corrupt transactions was much more than they thought, with thousands of pages documenting all the payoffs, and in every way the wickedness is very great and the wine press is full to overflowing.

14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.

This is where we are at now, there is so much stuff happening it seems overwhelming. The DA Bragg's bogus lawsuit against Trump, the Mar a Lago raid on Trump, evidence on Fauci, bank records on Biden, Mayorkas handling of the Southern border, the revelations of the claim that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russia disinformation was fraudulent, Ukrainian officials partying at five star hotels on the US dime. With all of this we also know that "the Lord is near" and His return is imminent.

15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.

This is now the second set of eclipses (April 20th -- solar eclipse, and May 5th lunar eclipse).

16 The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.


The heavens and the earth shall shake sounds like the war in heaven where Satan and the fallen angels are cast out while the earth shaking sounds like the sixth seal. Many earthquakes in the Bible take place when the dead rise out of the graves and so I suspect the sixth seal refers to the dead in Christ rising. The loudest noise ever recorded on earth was when Krakatoa erupted, hence "the Lord also shall roar" is probably a great sound that accompanies the dead rising and this great earthquake.

"And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood." (Revelation 6:12)

"For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine." (Isaiah 13:10)

"And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day." (Amos 8:9)

The greatest earthquake we can see in earth's history (not human history) takes place with a super volcano. Such an event would be cataclysmic, the dust in the air will block much of the sunlight and put us into a prolonged winter. Crop yields would collapse, and contribute to a "great tribulation".

Because you made lies your refuge and hid under falsehood

Isaiah 28:1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!

Ephraim is the son of Joseph who got the blessing that he would be greater than Manasseh, his older brother. When you look on the blessing to Joseph you see that he represents the blessing of scientists. When you look at human history you see that the scientists were first German and then during WW2 they moved to the US and the US became the leading scientific nation. So we can look at "the drunkards of Ephraim" as the church in the US that was drunk on the world's wine. The US at this point is the fading flower and the fat valleys.

2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.

A storm is coming, it will be "as" a tempest of hail (bombs falling from the sky everywhere) and it will be like a destroying storm (wind ripping the houses apart), "as" a flood of mighty waters overflowing (a tsunami or flash flood). In this way God is going to cast the drunkards of Ephraim, the apostate church down to the earth with His hand.

3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:

The "crown of pride" of the US is that they are the lone superpower. The way we left Afghanistan trod that pride under foot. The deal that Saudi Arabia has made with Russia and China has trod that crown under foot. Germany is working with Russia for another pipeline, trodding that pride under their feet.

4 And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.

The US will be like an offering to God which He will eat up while it is still in his hand. Some fruit is made into wine and can take months or years before it is consumed. Some is canned and put into jars and also can take a long time before being consumed. However this will be like having a piece of fruit in your hand that you eat up in a matter of minutes. The US will be devoured rapidly.

5 In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people, 6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.

If you are standing and watching for the Lord, if you are manning the ramparts and sounding the alarm and warning others, if you love the Lord's appearing then you will be crowned with the Lord of Hosts for glory. This is the final exam, it is an opportunity for you to shine, it is also a time when many will be exposed and fail.

7 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.

We saw this during the pandemic. All the priests and prophets should have taken a stand to repudiate the government for trying to shut down the churches and violate the US constitution. They erred in vision because they should have seen the fulfillment of the prophecies and realized this was the Lord declaring a sabbath rest worldwide because the day of the Lord was at hand. They stumbled in judgement because they should have seen that at this point it was more important than ever to be teaching the prophecies concerning the day of the Lord.

8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.

So why didn't they do that? The apostasy is not some "coincidence". Satanists have infiltrated the boards of many churches influencing what is and is not taught. This is why the apostate churches do not teach the prophecies and are inaccurate about many of their end times doctrines.

9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: 11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.

It is like a jigsaw puzzle, you have to put it together. You take one piece of the puzzle and try to find out where it will fit, and then another and another. Some of these puzzles have a thousand pieces. At first no one knows how the pieces go together but little by little they piece it together.

12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.

During the last few years if you spent your time in the word working on this puzzle you would have found rest, and peace and joy. But if you spent your time in the world, in their movies, in binge watching their shows, watching sporting events, then you will have bitterness of soul.

13 But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

When you go to church everyone appears to be for the Lord, but this exposes who is for real and who is phony. It is a brilliant way to expose and reveal the frauds that they might be snared and taken.

14 Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.

This is the first expression that all can see. If you are filled with the Holy Spirit, lamps burning, serving the Lord you would not be "scornful". The people who are scornful towards those warning concerning the Lord's coming are the "drunkards of Ephraim". They don't want to hear this talk because they are eating and drinking with the drunken of the world.

15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: 16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

The "overflowing scourge" is the pandemic. Many churches and pastors and priests made a covenant with the authorities concerning this. They shut the doors, they encouraged the members to submit to the restrictions and to get the jab. They made lies their refuge and so they fell for lies. They hid under falsehood and so falsehood became their downfall. Jesus Christ is a precious corner stone, a sure foundation. Those who have faith in the Lord will not fall for these tricks and traps so easily.

Why are you cutting deals with the devil?

Isaiah 28:17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

The Pandemic was the test. Those that fail that test will be swept away. If you turned your "sanctuary" into a "refuge of lies" then you will be swept away in this storm.

18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

Why are you cutting deals with the devil? Don't you know the whole world lies in the evil one?

19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.

This is why we see a little drip out day by day. Every day a little more is revealed of Fauci being a liar, of the vaccine causing sudden death syndrome. It will be a vexation to understand the report, so they won't want to, they'll want to listen to MSNBC or NPR comfort them that they are right. That is their "refuge of lies". But the members of the church will awaken one by one and they will find themselves on a sinking ship as those who continue to listen and trust in them shrinks everyday.

20 For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.

Don't you hate that? Have you ever tried to sleep when the cover is too small and it is too cold? These priests and pastors did all this because they needed the money to build their building, pay their staff and do all that they had to do to compete with the world. But now they see their members shrinking every day and it isn't enough to keep the lights on and pay the staff and take care of the place.

21 For the Lord shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.

Yes, right now we are seeing a strange work, a strange act. The valley of Gibeon is where Joshua defeated the enemy and the sun stood still and God rained hailstones on them. Mount Perazim is where David had a great victory as a result of God's intervention. This is not all "gloom and doom", there will be those believers who take a stand for the Lord and will see a marvelous victory like David did and like Joshua did.

22 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord God of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.


In the heavens you have two fish that are on a line, that is their bands. One will be taken by the Lord, the bands will be cut, the other will be left. If you are mocking, then your bands will not be cut, they will be made strong.

23 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.


Do you realize that is the point of the all the fellowship you are seeing now from the watchmen, this is the Lord being merciful, saying "give your ear to me, hear my voice".

24 Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground? 25 When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place? 26 For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him. 27 For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod. 28 Bread corn is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it with his horsemen. 29 This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.

If a farmer understands all this why shouldn't a prophet or a priest understand all the various precepts and pieces to this puzzle?

A word to the kings

We have all been given dominion, hence everyone of us needs to view our life as a king. It is very easy for us to look at someone else and see their faults, put yourself under that same spotlight, give yourself the same advice and criticism you give to others.

Deuteronomy 17:1 Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the Lord thy God any bullock, or sheep, wherein is blemish, or any evilfavouredness: for that is an abomination unto the Lord thy God.


We call this “regifting”. You get a gift you don’t want so you simply wrap it up and give it to someone else. Treat God the way you want to be treated. No one will outgive God. Give Him the best and He will give you the best.

2 If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the Lord thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the Lord thy God, in transgressing his covenant, 3 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded; 4 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel: 5 Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.

Sinning is bad, this takes it to the next level where you serve these idols and worship them. As a king not only are you not to do this but you are also required to have a spine and stand up to this idol worship. So let’s look at the difference. For example, abortion can be what its proponents argue it is, birth control for women who feel overwhelmed by being pregnant. Is it a sin to kill a baby? Yes. But that doesn’t mean that the woman getting the abortion worships idols and is serving other gods. That said, the unreasonable and illogical response to Roe v. Wade, first the hokey justification in the first SCOTUS decision and then the unhinged response to the decision to override it, these things reveal that there is something behind the curtain that they will not admit. That is worshipping and serving these gods. We see the worship of Moloch in halftime shows at the Superbowl and also at the Olympics opening ceremony. In the NT we don’t throw physical stones, we speak words of life that expose sin. That is how we stone people in this age.

6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death. 7 The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you.

It is crucial to put evil away from you. If you discovered a cobra in your babies crib you would not argue for understanding, equity and all creatures being good.

8 If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which the Lord thy God shall choose; 9 And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall shew thee the sentence of judgment: 10 And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the Lord shall choose shall shew thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee: 11 According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall shew thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.


All of us will lack wisdom and need God’s light and inspiration. We must embrace the word of God, and embrace fellowship with those who are in the word and know God. None of us is an island to ourselves, we will all need counseling, and advice.

12 And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the Lord thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.


Think about that, ignoring the fellowship of the priests and levites comes with a death sentence. Once again, this death sentence is carried out differently in the NT. Jesus said He was the vine and we were the branches. If we get cut off from the vine then we dry up and are gathered up and tossed in the fire. If you reject the Lord’s word to you through a priest or prophet you are cutting yourself off from the vine. When the Lord Jesus speaks to you then you must obey and until you do you will be cut off from the supply of life. Just like Peter said, to whom shall we go, you have the words of eternal life.

13 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.


We are born rebellious, it is part of our sin nature. We need to learn the fear of the Lord.

14 When thou art come unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me; 15 Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the Lord thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.

Rule #1, do not become unequally yoked with unbelievers.

16 But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the Lord hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.

The bible is very favorable towards multiplying your flocks and your herds. But horses are for war. A single horse could be for transportation, but “multiply horses to himself” is for war. This is like the warning that Eisenhower gave us about the industrial military complex. If you multiply horses to yourself you must feed them and care for them. The costs rise to maintain this “standing army”. It makes those who favor war richer and more influential. You may think that it is smart to have a solid army because the best defense is a good offense. But this is like a cancer on your country and on your economy. Soldiers and cavalrymen would be the strongest and best men, so that is a major drain on your agricultural economy. Also these men expect to get paid and paid better than if they took care of their father’s farm. Why are you paying them? If they are simply a standing army it is a major drain, the only way to justify them is to go to war. Once you go down this path to multiply horses to the king then you are taking the path of war.

17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away:


One wife is out of love and to raise a family. Multiply wives is all about creating strategic alliances. The problem with a strategic alliance is that they will never fully align. Egypts goals and Israel’s goals may align on a single point, but not on every point. Therefore every time you go to make a move one of your strategic partners will have an issue with that and so you will wind up compromising to maintain the relationship. You should be able to do whatever the Lord says without Egypt or Syria or Lebanon having a say in that. I do not post on Facebook because they try to censor me. I have to make a choice, be faithful to the word of God or compromise with Facebook. I left Facebook.

neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.


This is another type of strategic partnerships. Suppose you see a crisis in the banking industry but you own stocks in the banks? Can you sound the alarm or will you fear that this will cause you to lose money?

18 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites: 19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:20 That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.

Reading the Bible everyday and commenting on these verses, this is a great practice for everyone. I view this blog as my journal where I have written out the Bible and where I am learning to fear the Lord while also trying to do the Lord’s commandments, becoming humbled by the Lord’s word.

You will own nothing and be happy

Luke 20:1 And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders, 2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?

The world's leaders really beat you over the head with this. If you say anything they don't like you are "rebellious", labelled as a "domestic terrorist" and thrown into the DC gulag as an insurrectionist. Question the events that took place in the election and you could find yourself in "Twitter Jail" or "Facebook Jail" or "Youtube jail". These are the same people who refuse to acknowledge elections that they lose.

3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me: 4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?


This is why they hate the church. You can talk all you want about your authority, but they know that the people recognize the authority of God and the authority of the church.

5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not? 6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet. 7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.

They fear the word of God because this word has authority and they can't deny it.

8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

Their authority comes from the word of God, this is why tyrants get the backing of the religious leaders to seize power. So they can't attack the word of God.

9 Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.

Jesus is the king, He is the one who has gone into a far country for a long time. The world leaders and religious leaders are the ones who have been left to manage this vineyard.

10 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.

The servants of the Lord Jesus are the ones who are being beaten.

11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

Those that speak the word of God and are not simply a mouthpiece for the powers that be are the ones who are treated shamefully. Why else would Fox fire Tucker Carlson?

12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.

The censorship, the "cancel culture", this is all about the evil rulers trying to avoid paying their debts to the Lord Jesus.

13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him. 14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

This is the plan of all the bankers and the elites. This is the point of you will own nothing and be happy. This is why the vaccine is causing the #diedsuddenly syndrome. If you die who gets your estate? Your heirs. What if they kill you and your heir? Then the inheritance will be theirs. If you have wars, famine, great depression and plague all those people dying will leave everything to these elites. All they need to do is hunker down in their billionaire bunker for a year and everything will belong to them.

15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?

If you have not noticed these leaders are shameless liars. The Lord has to take it to this point so that there will be no excuse, no story, no lie.

16 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.

The leaders all know what the plan is. They know that Jesus just laid out their plan for world domination.

17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?

This plan for world domination is trying to make "one world government" and "one world religion". In other words, they want to be the head of the corner, the stone that unites the building into one building. They are rejecting Jesus because they want to be the cornerstone. But it isn't up to them, it is up to God.

18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

Take that word, believer it. Some will attack the Lord, they will be broken. Others will try to ignore the Lord, dismiss Him and ridicule the believers. They will be ground into powder.

19 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.

The word of God is written for our example

2Samuel 12:1 And the Lord sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor. 2 The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds: 3 But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter. 4 And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him. 5 And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the Lord liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die: 6 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.

This is what the bankers did during the mortgage crisis. I was a licensed stock broker, and to get my license I had to pass two tests concerning my fiduciary responsibility. Every banker, every stock broker, every mortgage professional knows the law. They violated that law by knowingly putting people into mortgages they couldn't afford. These are called balloon mortgages, for five years you might pay $1,000 a month and then it "balloons" to $2,000 a month, the person can no longer afford it, they miss payments, and the bank seizes the house. This person paid the bank $60,000 over those five years and now the bank gets the house back where they can sell it again, and the house has appreciated in value as well. To make things even worse, the banks took these mortgages that they knew would default and packaged hundreds of them into something called a "REIT" which they sold as a mutual fund to pension fund holders. So not only do they rob these people who are buying the house, they also rob these people who are saving money for their retirement. They knew exactly what they were doing, every bit as much as David knew what he was doing.

7 And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; 8 And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.

This is the US. How rich were we? At one point the US was the envy of the entire world. We had emerged victorious from WW1 and WW2, becoming the financial center of the whole world, the manufacturing powerhouse, the military superpower, and the scientific capital of the world.

9 Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

This is how the US has treated the common man, the ones that Clinton called "deplorables". Their children are sent to die in wars around the world like Iraq, and Afghanistan. Meanwhile the bankers steal their houses and their pensions.

10 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. 11 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. 12 For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.

Know for a certainty that judgment is determined against the US by God.

1Jn 3:1-10 -- The Lord is manifested at the end of the age to destroy the works of the devil

1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

This has been the focus of the gospel and the age of grace that we might behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us. At the end of this age this mystery will be revealed, it will be the Lord’s masterpiece, the whole universe will see the sons of God. The world doesn't know us, when we preach the gospel of Jesus Christ they don't know us, when we warn them of the coming judgement they are still clueless. This is why the Lord said His coming would be as a thief in the night. At that time they will know we had the truth, that we were the sons of God, that we had the word that would light the way, but then it will be too late, we'll be gone.

2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

At the end of the age when the Lord appears His people will also appear “like Him”. If you want to be like Him in His resurrection then you must also be like Him in His sufferings and death.

3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

This is our hope. It is not simply to “be raptured” but to be “like Him”. We will be examined, just as He was. The accuser of the brethren will be the prosecutor. We will overcome by the Blood of the lamb and by the word of our testimony.

4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

Jesus was manifested to take away our sin. We have the hope that we will be like Him, like our older brother, the many brothers, that we too will take away the sins of the world. We need to take a stand against unrighteousness, be one with the Holy Spirit in our spirit to stand up to the evil one.

6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

At the end of the age there will be two types of people. Those that abide in the Lord and are not sinning and those that are sinning and don’t know the Lord. You have people protesting unrighteousness, but they are rioting and looting. That is sin and is evidence that they don't know Him and are not abiding in Him. Then there are others who are jellyfish, just go along to get along. They are not standing up for righteousness, they are not bearing their cross, they are not in the fellowship of His suffering. So they also are not abiding in Him. They are not walking according to faith and anything that is not of faith is sin.

7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

Isn’t it funny all the religious rules we have concerning who is a Christian, who is saved, who knows the Lord. These people who are stepping forward as witnesses of the sin despite the threats to themselves, their families and their career. They are doing righteousness and they are righteous even as the Lord is righteous. They are abiding in Him. They are heeding their conscience. They are called deplorables, by who? By the self righteous and by the wicked. Don't let them deceive you. He that doeth righteousness is righteous even as He is righteous.

8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Can we let this sink into our heart? The Lord was manifested so that He might destroy the works of the devil. The end of the age the Lord is manifested again, this time in His redeemed, transformed people, the army of God, to destroy the works of the devil. 911 was the work of the devil, the mortgage meltdown was the work of the devil, this bioweapon that killed many was the work of the devil. Turning the US into Sodom and Gomorrah is the work of the devil.

9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Those that are born of God will be manifested. They can’t sin, they can’t lie, they can’t go along with what is happening because they are born of God.

10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

It’s not just about doing righteousness it is also about loving your brother. Those who are of the devil don’t mind the fact that some will suffer because of their actions, it is all about what is best for them. But the children of God, their conscience bothers them not just about righteousness but also about the effect that this fraud will have on others.

I decided to retire because it was the strongest stance I could take against the vaccine mandate. For me to stay in my job I would be labeled as "non compliant", in other words not subject to the authorities. I was between a rock and a hard place. If I speak the word that the Lord has given me I would be in rebellion. The Lord says if they reject you in one city shake off the dust and go to the next. So, by retiring I will be shaking off the dust. However, it clings to you. The union has made it impossible to retire prior to DeBlasio's deadline if I listen to them. So I have had to consult with others who have retired. I tried to log into the system and for some reason it won't let me. They will cling to me but I will shake off the dust and do so prior to the first day I am to report back because on that day I'll be categorized as "non compliant".

I expect that during the tribulation all believers will have to make the same choice with regards to the mark of the beast. This trial that has come upon the world is not something strange, but rather something that all believers will have to go through.
