Молитва о справедливости

Господь Иисус, есть те, кто пытается ввергнуть мир в голод, запасая пищу под землей и под океаном. Они отравили мир генетически модифицированными продуктами, оставив себе здоровую пищу. Итак, я призываю вас судить праведно и вершить правосудие, чтобы вы взяли кладовые, которые они спрятали. Так же, как они поступили, сделай с ними, чтобы они также ели отравленную пищу, которую они дали нам, и чтобы они также пережили голод, который они назначили для нас.

Господи Иисусе, есть те, кто похитил десятки тысяч младенцев и детей. Они пытали их, они убивали их, они даже пили их кровь. Итак, Господь, я молю, чтобы Ты судил праведно и исполнял праведный суд, чтобы то, что они сделали, было сделано и с ними. Пусть они будут замучены, убиты, и пусть их кровь станет пищей для Нефилимов. Они поклонялись богу пыток и жажды крови, пусть они станут пищей для бога, которому они поклонялись. Они обращались с людьми как со скотом, чтобы их откармливать и убивать, чтобы они проснулись и осознали, что сатана обращался с ними как со скотом, он их откормил и убьет и съест. Господи Иисусе, они пришли к власти через ложь и предательство других, так пусть и Антихрист, которого они привели к власти, тоже солжет и предаст их.

Господь Иисус, они пытались уничтожить землю, существ и жителей, чтобы сделать этот мир пригодным для правления человека греха. Это твой мир, который они разрушили, ты создатель, они согрешили против тебя, поэтому, Господи, я молю, чтобы то, что они сделали, было сделано с ними. Они хотели разрушить мир, которым вы правите, поэтому дайте им править миром руин. Ударь по водам наверху, отрави их их собственным оружием массового уничтожения, ударь по почве земли. Заберите у них контролируемые поля, а также бункеры и комплексы под землей, которые они отвели для себя. Господи, они наслали на мир саранчу и упадок, чтобы сделать его непригодным для жизни, поэтому, Господи, мы молим, чтобы Ты наслал саранчу и упадок на всех из них. Господи, как они сделали, да будет с ними. По слову твоему наведи проклятие плесени и плесени. Сожгите землю в горящую кучу.

Молитва за справедливість

Господи Ісусе, є ті, хто намагається загнати світ у голод, накопичуючи їжу під землею та під океаном. Вони отруїли світ генетично модифікованою їжею, зберігши для себе здорову їжу. Тож я закликаю вас судити справедливо і чинити своє правосуддя, щоб ви забрали сховища, які вони сховали. Як вони зробили з ними, так і їм доведеться їсти отруєну їжу, яку вони нам дали, і що вони також повинні пройти через голод, який вони призначили для нас.

Господи Ісусе, є ті, хто викрали десятки тисяч немовлят і дітей. Їх катували, вбивали, навіть кров пили. Тож, Господи, я молюся, щоб ти судив праведно і виконував праведний суд, щоб те, що зробили вони, було зроблено і з ними. Нехай їх мучать, убивають, і нехай їхня кров стане їжею для нефілімів. Вони поклонялися богу тортур і жадібності до крові, нехай вони стануть їжею для бога, якому вони поклонялися. Вони ставилися до людей як до худоби, яку вони відгодовують і вбивають, тож нехай вони прокинуться і зрозуміють, що сатана поводився з ними як з худобою, він відгодував їх і буде вбивати та пожирати їх. Господи Ісусе, вони прийшли до влади, обманюючи та зраджуючи інших, тож нехай Антихрист, той, кого вони привели до влади, також бреше та зраджує їх.

Господи Ісусе, вони намагалися знищити землю, створіння та мешканців, щоб зробити цей світ придатним для правління людини гріха. Це твій світ, який вони зруйнували, ти творець, вони згрішили проти тебе, тому, Господи, я молюся, щоб те, що вони зробили, так і з ними було зроблено. Вони хотіли зруйнувати світ, яким ви керуєте, тож дайте їм керувати світом руїни. Вдарте над водами, отруйте їх власною зброєю масового знищення, вдарте по землі. Заберіть у них підконтрольні поля, підземні бункери та комплекси, які вони собі відвели. Господи, вони наслали на світ сарану та хворобу, щоб зробити його непридатним для життя, тому, Господи, ми молимося, щоб Ти послав сарану та хворобу на всіх них. Господи, нехай так буде з ними, як вони зробили. За словом твоїм принеси прокляття плісняви та цвілі. Спаліть землю в палаючу купу.

Doa untuk Keadilan

Tuhan Yesus, ada orang yang mencoba membuat dunia kelaparan sambil menimbun makanan di bawah tanah dan di bawah lautan. Mereka telah meracuni dunia dengan makanan hasil rekayasa genetika sambil menyimpan sendiri makanan sehat untuk dimakan. Jadi saya memohon kepada Anda untuk menilai dengan benar dan untuk melaksanakan keadilan Anda bahwa Anda akan mengambil gudang yang mereka sembunyikan. Seperti yang telah mereka lakukan kepada mereka bahwa mereka juga harus makan makanan beracun yang telah mereka berikan kepada kita dan bahwa mereka juga harus mengalami kelaparan yang telah mereka tetapkan untuk kita.

Tuhan Yesus, ada yang menculik puluhan ribu bayi dan anak-anak. Mereka menyiksa mereka, mereka membunuh mereka, mereka bahkan meminum darah mereka. Jadi Tuhan, saya berdoa agar Anda akan menghakimi dengan benar dan melaksanakan penghakiman yang benar bahwa seperti yang telah mereka lakukan, itu akan dilakukan kepada mereka. Semoga mereka disiksa, dibunuh dan semoga darah mereka menjadi makanan bagi Nefilim. Mereka menyembah dewa siksaan dan haus darah, semoga mereka menjadi makanan bagi dewa yang mereka sembah. Mereka memperlakukan orang sebagai ternak untuk digemukkan dan dibunuh, jadi semoga mereka sadar bahwa Setan telah memperlakukan mereka sebagai ternak, dia telah menggemukkan mereka dan akan membunuh dan melahap mereka. Tuhan Yesus, mereka berkuasa dengan berbohong dan mengkhianati orang lain, jadi mungkin Antikristus, yang mereka bawa berkuasa, juga berbohong dan mengkhianati mereka.

Tuhan Yesus, mereka telah mencoba untuk menghancurkan bumi dan makhluk-makhluk dan penghuninya untuk membuat dunia ini layak untuk diperintah oleh manusia durhaka. Ini adalah dunia Anda yang telah mereka hancurkan, Anda adalah pencipta, mereka telah berdosa terhadap Anda, jadi Tuhan saya berdoa semoga apa yang telah mereka lakukan itu akan dilakukan kepada mereka. Mereka ingin menghancurkan dunia yang Anda kuasai, jadi beri mereka dunia kehancuran untuk diperintah. Serang air di atas, racuni mereka dengan senjata pemusnah massal mereka sendiri, serang tanah bumi. Ambillah dari mereka ladang-ladang yang dikuasai, dan bunker serta kompleks di bawah bumi yang mereka sisihkan untuk diri mereka sendiri. Tuhan, mereka telah mengirimkan belalang dan penyakit busuk ke dunia untuk menjadikannya tidak dapat dihuni, jadi Tuhan kami berdoa agar Engkau mengirimkan belalang dan penyakit busuk ke atas mereka semua. Tuhan, seperti yang telah mereka lakukan semoga itu dilakukan kepada mereka. Sesuai dengan kata-kata Anda, bawalah kutukan jamur dan jamur. Membakar bumi menjadi tumpukan yang menghanguskan.

न्याय के लिए प्रार्थना

प्रभु यीशु, वे लोग हैं जो भूमिगत और समुद्र के नीचे भोजन जमा करते हुए दुनिया को अकाल में डालने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं। उन्होंने अपने लिए खाने के लिए स्वस्थ भोजन रखते हुए आनुवंशिक रूप से संशोधित भोजन के साथ दुनिया को जहरीला बना दिया है। सो मैं तुझ से बिनती करता हूं, कि तू खरा न्याय और न्याय से काम ले, कि तू उनके छिपे हुए भण्डारोंको उठा ले। जैसा कि उन्होंने उनके साथ किया है कि उन्हें भी वह जहरीला भोजन खाना होगा जो उन्होंने हमें दिया है और उन्हें भी उस अकाल से गुजरना होगा जिसे उन्होंने हमारे लिए नियत किया है ।

प्रभु यीशु, वे हैं जिन्होंने दसियों हज़ार शिशुओं और बच्चों का अपहरण किया है। उन्होंने उन्हें प्रताड़ित किया, उन्होंने उन्हें मार डाला, उन्होंने उनका खून भी पी लिया। इसलिए भगवान मैं प्रार्थना करता हूं कि आप धार्मिकता से न्याय करेंगे और धार्मिकता से न्याय करेंगे कि जैसा उन्होंने किया है वैसा ही उनके साथ किया जाएगा । उन्हें सताया जाए, मार दिया जाए और उनका खून नेफिलिम के लिए भोजन बन जाए। उन्होंने अत्याचार और रक्त वासना के देवता की पूजा की, ठीक है कि वे उस देवता के लिए भोजन बन सकते हैं जिसकी वे पूजा करते हैं। उन्होंने लोगों को मोटा करने और मारने के लिए मवेशियों के रूप में व्यवहार किया, ताकि वे यह जान सकें कि शैतान ने उन्हें मवेशियों के रूप में व्यवहार किया है, उसने उन्हें पाला है और उन्हें मार कर खा जाएगा। प्रभु यीशु वे झूठ बोलकर और दूसरों को धोखा देकर सत्ता में आए हैं, इसलिए हो सकता है कि एंटीक्रिस्ट, जिसे वे सत्ता में लाए हैं, वे भी झूठ बोलें और उन्हें धोखा दें।

प्रभु यीशु, उन्होंने पाप के मनुष्य के शासन करने के लिए इस दुनिया को बनाने के लिए पृथ्वी और प्राणियों और निवासियों को नष्ट करने की कोशिश की है। यह आपकी दुनिया है जिसे उन्होंने बर्बाद कर दिया है, आप निर्माता हैं, उन्होंने आपके खिलाफ पाप किया है, इसलिए भगवान मैं प्रार्थना करता हूं कि जैसा उन्होंने किया है वैसा ही उनके साथ किया जाए। वे उस दुनिया को बर्बाद करना चाहते थे जिस पर आप शासन करते हैं इसलिए उन्हें शासन करने के लिए बर्बादी की दुनिया दें। ऊपर के पानी पर प्रहार करो, उन्हें सामूहिक विनाश के अपने हथियारों से जहरीला करो, पृथ्वी की मिट्टी पर प्रहार करो। उनसे नियंत्रित क्षेत्र, और जमीन के नीचे बंकर और परिसर ले लो, जिसे उन्होंने अपने लिए अलग रखा है। भगवान उन्होंने इसे निर्जन बनाने के लिए दुनिया पर टिड्डियां और तुषार भेजा है इसलिए भगवान हम प्रार्थना करते हैं कि आप उन सभी पर टिड्डियां और तुषार भेजेंगे। प्रभु, जैसा उन्होंने किया है वैसा ही उनके साथ हो। अपने वचन के अनुसार फफूंदी और फफूंदी का श्राप लाओ। पृथ्वी को झुलसा देनेवाला ढेर बनाकर जला दो।

Isaiah 14:28-32 A Prophecy Against the Philistines (leftists)

28 This prophecy came in the year King Ahaz died:

Uzziah was a tough king on the Philistines, and Hezekiah was also a tough king, but Ahaz was not. To better understand this prophecy let’s use Biden as a stand in for Ahaz and the leftists who are getting everything they want under Biden as the Philistines. That would make Trump equal to Uzziah and we have yet to see Hezekiah appear.

29 Do not rejoice, all you Philistines, that the rod that struck you is broken; from the root of that snake will spring up a viper, its fruit will be a darting, venomous serpent.

The leftists greatly rejoiced in Trump’s defeat. This is the first twist, this prophecy came in the year that Ahaz died, didn’t say it came after Ahaz died. The root of that snake, if you are talking about Trump, is of course the MAGA movement and the Deplorables.

30 The poorest of the poor will find pasture, and the needy will lie down in safety.

So that movement is made up of the poorest of the poor. They are finding pastor, they are being led to take over precincts in the political process and to take over school boards.

But your root I will destroy by famine; it will slay your survivors.

What is the root of the leftists movement? Some say that George Soros is funding it, obviously the oligarchs like Zuckerberg have contributed hundreds of millions to swing (steal) the election. The Lord takes them down with a one - two punch. First he destroys these oligarchs with famine. What happened to Coca Cola and MLB when they moved the All Star game out of Atlanta? The ratings plummeted. What happened to the NFL and NBA when they got woke? They went broke. What about Budweiser and Fox? Same thing. The ratings across the board are down 40%. Facebook and Twitter have both shot themselves in the foot, forcing people to move to other platforms like GETTR. Now with the Ukraine war that knocked out 33% of the world's wheat imports as well as the lion share of fertilizer and 10% of the world's oil imports. Not only so but we are seeing the collapse of the real estate bubble in China, something much bigger than the mortgage meltdown in the US, the destruction of the Russian economy, and China was locking down cities with a new strain of the pandemic. We are also about to see the response to two assassination attempts on Putin and they are working out a deal with 100 countries to dump US dollars at the same moment. That is the famine. We have record high interest rates in the US and a banking collapse along with stagflation. Then they will destroy “your survivors”. We are talking about what happens after Babylon (the US) is burned with fire, stripped naked and devoured. After the Zombies and fallen angels have their little get together. After all that the survivors who get to see the fruit of what they did, only then will they be slain.

31 Wail, you gate! Howl, you city! Melt away, all you Philistines! A cloud of smoke comes from the north, and there is not a straggler in its ranks.

There is a suggestion that we will see nuclear missiles coming to us from “the North” which would be over the North pole, hence Russia. “There is no straggler” suggests all these missiles hit at one instant. A cloud of smoke indicates an attempt to confuse us and prevent us from seeing and communicating. This would be an EMP explosion which would take out all of our telecommunications. It could be a two week communications blackout. Melt away indicates all these leftists will try to disappear and pretend they never had anything to do with this.

32 What answer shall be given to the envoys of that nation? “The Lord has established Zion, and in her his afflicted people will find refuge.”

When the UN peace keepers arrive in the US what will they find? A spiritual revival of Biblical proportions. So big that Isaiah was able to see it thousands of years ago. The leftists have tried to curse and destroy the church, instead it will be much more prevailing.

1John 4:19-21 How we identify the Antichrist

19 We love because he first loved us. 20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 21 And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.

This is the basic principle for how we know the antichrist and the spirit of the antichrist. What was it that Antiochus, Titus, and Hitler all had in common? They did not love their brothers and sisters. They elevated their words above the words of God. They reject the Lord’s word to love others even as He has loved us. On the contrary, instead of being willing to die for others they were all very willing to have others die for them.

So then how do we know “The Antichrist”? We can see that there have been many antichrists, many who have chipped away at the recognition of Jesus Christ as Lord and savior. Many who have elevated their words and their commands over His. Titus was an example of the antichrist just as Judas was a type of the false prophet. Titus used cunning deceit to destroy Jerusalem. He told the Jews that if they wanted to celebrate Passover they could, then when they entered Jerusalem he locked the gates and kept them locked in there until they all starved to death.

Daniel 8:23 “In the latter part of their reign, when rebels have become completely wicked, a fierce-looking king, a master of intrigue, will arise.

This is what the Hunter Biden “laptop from hell” reveals. It is evidence that Biden for many years was completely wicked, that John Kerry and Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama were also complicit. They could not have accomplished this without the help of Adam Schiff, some in the FBI, and NSA, and some of the judges. The major news outlets like CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC as well as the NY Times and Washington Post are also complicit. Of course Twitter, Facebook and Youtube are working with them as well as google. In other words those who are selling out this country, the rebels, also translated as “the transgressors” have become completely wicked. At this time a “fierce-looking king”, “a master of intrigue” will arise. Fierce looking king can also be translated as impudent.

Gill says it refers to “impudent brazen faced man, who had no shame nor fear in him; regarded neither God nor man” Impudent means “not showing due respect for another person”, rude. Brazen means bold and without shame. The very first thing you will notice in the antichrist is that he is rude, does not show the proper respect for other people, and is shameless. The second thing is that he is a master of intrigue, he understands dark sentences, riddles. He is well versed in wicked politics and can penetrate into the secrets of others. In my own opinion based on my observation we are seeing “wicked politics” by the Democrats and their allies.

24 He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy those who are mighty, the holy people. I agree with Benson’s commentary that this refers to two groups of people: the mighty, and the common man. 25 He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. Regardless of who it is they are egotistical and narcissistic. Without any doubt we are seeing deceit prospering at this moment. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power. Wow, many think that Biden’s victory was so that this entire deep state of the mighty could feel secure.

Revelation 3:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

There are similarities between this person who was resuscitated and Jesus who was resurrected. With Jesus we say “who is like unto our God” and with this one they say “who is like unto this beast”. Causing the whole world to “wonder after him” implies a form of worship.

Because they forsook the Lord their God

1Kings 9:1 And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,

The church is the house of God, this word applies both to the temple in Jerusalem and to the church that is built in the New Jerusalem.

2 That the Lord appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon.


A reference to the second coming.

3 And the Lord said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.

The church is where the name of the Lord has been put, it is where his eyes and his heart are perpetually.

4 And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments: 5 Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.


This is a promise to the church.

6 But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them:

This is the apostasy. They have turned from following the Lord, they do not keep His commandments nor His statutes, and they serve other gods and worship them.

7 Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:

This is what happens to those left behind after the rapture.

8 And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and to this house?


This is what is described in Revelation concerning the Great Babylon. Revelation 17 refers to the religious Babylon. It is a very clear description of the Vatican, but the apostasy will be the ecumenical movement, all the "christian" churches that unite with the Vatican in this ecumenical movement. There are national churches in European countries, they will be part of this apostasy and there are many apostate churches in the US, they also will be part of this. Even in poorer countries catholic churches and priests appear to be on the top of the heap, people will be astonished at how far they fall at this time.

9 And they shall answer, Because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the Lord brought upon them all this evil.

Zephaniah 1 -- Rapture: the Lord's bidden guests to the sacrifice He has prepared

1 The word of the Lord which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah. 2 I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the Lord.

This is the judgement that has been declared for the Day of the Lord. This is the purpose of the Great Tribulation, to “utterly consume all things from off the land”.

3 I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumbling blocks with the wicked: and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the Lord.

This will be a major extinction event. We know that much of this extinction is due to man himself, he is the problem. So God is going to take the same strategy that evil men used with “the stumbling blocks of the wicked”. For example we tried to exterminate the Buffalo since the Indians depended on them. In the same way we have tried to come up with sensible laws that would protect the rainforest from being burned down to feed cows, or keeping fowls locked up in cruel sheds or overfishing of the ocean. Wicked men have ignored and violated these laws. Not because they aren’t necessary, but because if everyone else keeps the laws they can get rich while everyone else pays the price to keep the world from disaster. So guess what happens when those who are paying the price to keep the world from disaster are taken away in the rapture? It will be like a mad man driving a car without brakes.

4 I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarims with the priests; 5 And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by the Lord, and that swear by Malcham; 6 And them that are turned back from the Lord; and those that have not sought the Lord, nor enquired for him.

Here is the second issue that will be dealt with. People have forsaken God for idol worship. The great tribulation will cut that off. The NBA playoffs saw a 70% drop in ratings. Hollywood has had to stop the release of movies since the theaters were closed due to the Pandemic. The Oscars saw a huge drop in their ratings. Likewise with live shows like Broadway and TV shows like Saturday Night Live. Now, what do you think happens when things get real bad? Imagine a world with hyperinflation, over 20% unemployment, fires, floods, pandemic, riots, looting, and blackouts. Do you think they’ll say “let’s take a break from all this and go to an NFL game”? If the power goes out will anyone be watching the TV, or listening to the radio, or using the internet? The mainstream media surely represents many who have not sought the Lord nor enquired of Him.

7 Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord God: for the day of the Lord is at hand: for the Lord hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests.

The day of the Lord refers to the Great tribulation. God has prepared all of these things, these idol worshippers, and all these who boast against the Lord, mocking Him, for His sacrifice. He also has bid his guests. What exactly is the rapture? All those who loved the Lord and Loved His appearing are bidden to attend the Lord’s coronation and wedding. There is a great feast, a great celebration. How do you feed such a great banquet? Well something or someone is going to have to pay, to be sacrificed. When those who love the Lord are raptured, those who aren’t will be left behind to be sacrificed.

8 And it shall come to pass in the day of the Lord's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.

Today we see corruption and want it to be punished. It will be on this day. When you see some of these people and the things they are wearing the only way to describe it is "strange apparel".

9 In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit.

We are seeing many protest “abuses of power” and “corruption”. But we are learning as we dig down deeper that this has been full of violence and deceit. Trump claimed that he would “drain the swamp”. Then for four years while president there was a never ending string of accusations against him and investigations to impeach him. Many of these claims have been completely unfounded, others have been shown to be fabricated by his political opponents. Then we had a story hit from a major media outlet that provided physical evidence that Biden’s son received millions of dollars from both Russian and Chinese sources as a way to buy influence with his father, the Vice President. This story was based on emails from Hunter Biden and these various sources. However Twitter and Facebook censored the stories. Their rationale was completely hypocritical in light of their history of running anti Trump stories. There can be no more illusion that these major media outlets censor and manipulate news stories based on their own biases. The country has been filled with deceit and this deceit has led to violence.

10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills. 11 Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off.

We have not got to that day yet. That day will take place after the rapture, after He has bid his guests. But you can get an idea today. This is when the merchants of the world cry who will buy our stuff. This is the judgement that comes on the Great Babylon in one hour.

12 And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The Lord will not do good, neither will he do evil.

No one properly considered the implications of the rapture. Instead they have stupid ideas about cars crashing and planes falling from the sky. The rapture will make a very clear distinction between those who are enjoying the Lord’s banquet feast and those who are paying for it. Instantly you will have those who are in heaven and those who are in hell. Not the “real” hell yet, simply a glimpse of how really horrible hell can be. There are many Christians who are "settled on their lees" who say the "Lord will not do good, neither will He do evil".

13 Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.

Again, we have just seen a glimpse of what is about to happen. Watch the fires in California. There was a vineyard burned down, the owner standing on the ashes said “everything they had built up over the years was gone”. There were houses burned up, again people saying everything they had built over the years was gone. Unless you repent and turn to the Lord this is what the Great Tribulation will be for you.

14 The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the Lord: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.

Once again, we have seen a glimpse of this as well. We have seen coaches of NBA and NFL teams as well as players crying bitterly on the news. Rafael Nadal discovered he is now suffering from ill effects from the Covid vaccine. A few months prior to this he was saying that Djokovic knew the consequences that he would suffer for not getting vaccinated, I guess we can assume that Nadal also knew the consequences he would suffer for getting the vaccine. NYC prohibited Djokovic from playing even though they are not mandating vaccines for people to watch the matches. But without Nadal or Djokovic they saw a drop in their ratings. Who knows when the next shoe will drop.

15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, 16 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers. 17 And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung. 18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

They will be treated as dust and dung. Take away the breath of the Lord and that is all that we are. All these people have tried to take away the breath of the Lord. So, fine, without the word of God you are nothing but dust and dung. The whole “circle of life” thing that you embrace. With what judgement you judge you shall be judged.

Acts 1:1-11 I tell you the end from the beginning

1 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.

The former book is the gospel of Luke. That book presents the gospel to those who are raptured in the first rapture. They are like the honor students, for them the gospel began months before Jesus was born whereas Mark is the “Cliff notes” version which begins with the ministry of John the Baptist. Luke says he is writing this for Theophilus, those who love God. He also says that the gospel tells us all about Jesus from beginning to the day he was taken up to heaven. But Acts includes this final part “after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had chosen”. The Lord’s ministry had this goal to give instructions to the apostles and it didn’t stop at his crucifixion, those instructions continued right up until He was taken up. The Lord’s ministry is an example for us. It is the pattern.

3 After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”

There is a basic principle that God tells us the end from the beginning. We are here right now giving many convincing proofs from the Bible, from our experiences, from the signs in the heavens, from dreams and visions that everything we are witnessing is what we were told must happen. We are also talking about the kingdom of God. We are also told by the Lord that we need to be watching and waiting for His return and here the disciples are told to be watching and waiting for “the gift my Father promised”. To be baptized with the Holy Spirit is to be immersed “with” the Holy Spirit. Jesus did this for forty days after His resurrection, but it has also been 40 Jubilees since Jesus ministry.

6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

It is not for us to know times or dates, however what is for us to know is Jesus. We are to be His witnesses. Not only so but what we will receive is not some secret information about what the Lord is going to do, no we will receive power to actually work together with the Lord to do what the Lord is going to do. There is a strong contrast between what the Lord says here about the date of restoring Israel with what the Lord says in the gospels when asked "when will these things be and what will be the sign of your coming". The Lord gave a detailed and comprehensive answer to the signs we would see prior to His coming. How do you reconcile the two? The signs of the Lord's coming given in the gospels helps empower us to be His Witnesses.

9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.

That is the rapture. To me all these various "rapture events" are like transparencies, you can put them all together one on top of another and they show a human body, peel them off one by one and you go through that body one slice at a time. Lazarus being raised portrays the rapture, propelling Jesus into Jerusalem to the acclaim of all at Palm Sunday. The resurrection of Jesus and the dead is the fulfillment of the feast of unleavened bread and the wave offering, and gives us a view of the rapture. Jesus ascension to heaven is a view of the rapture, the wave offering of two loaves on Shavuot is a view of the rapture. Each one is not telling you the date, they are telling you the fact.

10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”

Again, God is telling us the end from the beginning. The way the church age begins is the way it will end. So then our focus should be to remain in “the city of God, the city of Peace” until the end of the age, to give many convincing proofs that the Lord resurrected and is alive, to speak on the kingdom of God, and to be the Lord’s witnesses.

We are not ignorant of Satan's devices

One very confusing angle that some have taken has been something called "predictive programming" where TV shows and movies appear to be predicting future evil events. Why would the perpetrators of 911 or the Pandemic or the Ukraine war tell us ahead of time they were planning on doing this and doing it in a such a way? To understand that you have to understand that Satan is not simply trying to rule the world, that he is already doing, he wants to "replace Christ". That is what "AntiChrist" means, and to do that he wants people to worship him. Predictive programming is a satanic version of prophecy. However, only God can tell you the end from the beginning. Therefore Satan tells you his plans before they take place and that is his counterfeit of prophecy.

The second point is what do you do with a book like Enoch or Jasher? The Bible is our covenant with God, it is a legal document, and anything that is not in the Bible is not part of our covenant. However both Jasher and Enoch are mentioned in the Bible and even quoted. it is common for a legal contract to reference other documents. In fact, many contracts include "incorporation by reference" clauses, which allow the terms of other documents to be included in the contract. For example, a contract might reference a company's employee handbook, a set of technical specifications, or a set of industry standards. This is how we should look at these books of the apocrypha.

The first day of the week

24 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

This is very confusing to me. The Sabbath day is the "seventh" day, and Passover is on the 14th day, hence it would be a sabbath day and it is called the "Passover Sabbath". Therefore if Jesus went into the tomb in the evening it was either the start of the 14th or the start of the 15th. Either way, the third day would be 16th or the 17th, but the first day of the week would be the 15th?


So then I think this verse is referring to two different calendars. There is no Friday, Saturday or Sunday on the calendar in the books of Moses. However, the theory is that at the time of Hezekiah when the sun dial went backwards we changed from a 360 day year to a 365 day year. As a result the calendars needed to change.

Jesus was crucified on the Passover sabbath, but it wasn't just Jesus that was crucified, but also the Old Covenant. Many teach that what began as a Passover feast ended up as the Lord's table. There is a transition here from One covenant to the next and as a result from one calendar to the next.

This is important because many people think we should only refer to the Hebrew calendar, but it seems to me that this verse saying that Jesus rose on the third day and also on the first day of the week indicates that the NT is talking about a different calendar from the one Moses gave us.

Is there an Asherah at Windsor Park

She does a nice job of looking at some prophecies in Isaiah 17, tying them to some extra Biblical books indicating that England and the US may be the locations of where many of God's people fled to.

Apparently the apostasy has gone full idolatry just like Ezekiel said. Mention that Queen Elizabeth, the head of the Anglican church is tied up in pagan symbology and they go nuts. Point out that we have satanic celebrations at the Superbowl, Grammies and Olympics and they want to bury their head in the sand. So since we are over the target let's continue:
