This is a reference to the rapture

Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:

I didn't see this before. We have promises that out of our belly will flow rivers of living water, we have promises to be shown the hidden manna, we have promises of never hungering and never thirsting. So then, how can this verse be fulfilled without contradicting those promises? Simple, those for whom the living water is flowing out of their bellies, those with the hidden manna, those who are never hungering and never thirsting, they will be raptured. They are the ones feeding the body of Christ at the right time.

This corresponds with the Lord's word that not one stone will be left upon another. There are Christians who rely on others to get their bread and water. They haven't exercised themselves to go directly to the Lord. So once the rapture takes place all those stones that are relying on others will be cast down. They will have to exercise themselves to go to the Lord for a word.

The word that the Lord spoke against the US

Jeremiah 50:1 The word that the Lord spake against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.

Babylon was the superpower, the golden head. When I was in China they referred to Americans as "golden hair" as everyone in Asia has black hair. Babylon was filled with idols and the US, unlike all other countries welcomes any and all idol worshippers. Every corporate logo is an idol and they build giant cathedrals called "stadiums" with the names of these idols. If you look at the Superbowl halftime show or the Grammies, or Disney or many other places you can see that the US is filled with Satanic worship and witchcraft. Fauci and the Pfizer vaccine is considered sorcery. It doesn't matter if the main stream media tells us what to think, the rest of the world is not stupid. They see that the pandemic was created in a bioweapons lab with US dollars and they know that the vaccine is killing people. They also know that the US is a profligate spendthrift printing money like crazy while everyone holding US debt is the one paying the price. They also know that if they want to switch to a reserve currency they will have to fight a war to do so. Khadaffi tried, others talked about it, and they all ended up dead.

So the US to me is Babylon, they were a "house of God", they did distribute the Bible worldwide like fine gold. But their cup is filled with the poison of snakes. God's judgement will fall on this nation, the Bible says "Judgement must first start with the house of God" and so I believe before you can get Armageddon and all the terrible judgement in the Tribulation you must first see judgement on America.

My goal is to go through Jeremiah 50 and 51 with this view in mind that this is talking about the judgment coming on the US and on "the Chaldeans". The Chaldeans are always referred to as great warriors. The US has a formidable military. We are not just woke professors, liberals with pink hair screaming about castrating children and having the right to kill babies. We are also a country with the most formidable military in human history.

Marduk is broken in pieces

Jeremiah 50:2 Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces. 3 For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.

Marduk is a Babylonian god, it is a matter of idol worship. Some view the name as referring to a Calf and indicates prosperity, others say the name refers to "calf of the storm" and signifies the resistance in Babylon to Assyria and others think the name refers to an arrow. So then, if the US and particularly the cities of NY and Washington DC signify Babel and Babylon, then who is this god that they are worshipping. We currently have several apostate versions of Christianity in the US. One is called the prosperity gospel which bears some resemblance to the worship of Marduk, another one is called Dominion theology which also bears some resemblance to Marduk, and yet we also have an entire nation that was willing to go to war with Assyria (Iraq and Afghanistan) over the allegation of WMD's and their involvement in 911. We know that much of the justification for that war, if not all of it, was a lie.

I also see that what God is saying here in Jeremiah is that the judgement on Babylon (the US) is a judgement on the apostate church.

The Lord will smite the phony shepherds and the sheep will be scattered

Jeremiah 50:4 In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the Lord their God.

This would be a reference to the left behind which in my understanding will be more than 80% of the real Christians.

5 They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the Lord in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.

This will be a major wake up to them realizing they have been misled and so now they will come to the Bible seriously to learn the way of salvation.

6 My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place.

There are many "pastors" who have caused the believers to go astray. These doctrines of once saved always saved have made people complacent, lazy and deluded. Many churches have become "bless me clubs" where the main goal is to become prosperous. They don't experience the Lord, instead they claim that their wealth is proof of being blessed by God.

7 All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the Lord, the habitation of justice, even the Lord, the hope of their fathers.


These were wolves in sheep's clothing making merchandise of the saints.

All that spoil her shall be satisfied

Jeremiah 50:8 Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.

Is Babylon a city? Americans will have to flee places like the East and West coast and probably even the Gulf coast. They will have to flee military bases. These will be destroyed.

9 For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.

An assembly of great nations: Russia, Iran, N. Korea and Venezuela. You may not think of Venezuela as a great nation but they have great reserves of oil and gold. China will also be in the alliance. The arrows, the missiles, they will all hit the mark.

10 And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the Lord.

They will spoil our country and our military. My understanding is that China wants our farmland.

The New Land

11 Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;

Take a look at how they despise Evangelical Christians, destroy the church, and have become rich by milking the tax payers, this is what will bring God's judgment on them. Not all stock brokers and bankers are evil, think of "It's a Beautiful Life" describing an idealized version of banking that was not completely fiction. But the 2008 mortgage crisis was man made, they destroyed the poor, the architects of this crisis knew exactly what they were doing, everyone else assisted them, and then no one went to jail when it was over despite violating the law and their fiduciary responsibility.

12 Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.


The "hindermost of the nations" means the last in a long line of nations, hence what we call "the new land" or "the new world". The US will become a wilderness, a dry land, a desert. I think we would not call this a desert but a plain, the great plains. My understanding is that the US coastline about 5-10 miles from the ocean will be wiped out along our entire coastline. Basically people will have to flee to the land between the Rockies and the Appalachian mountains.

This is the vengeance of the Lord

Jeremiah 50:13 Because of the wrath of the Lord it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.

God is extremely angry and as a result these cities will not simply be destroyed and pillaged, they will be uninhabited. This indicates they will be contaminated with radiation and radioactive dust.

14 Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the Lord.


"All ye that bend the bow"! That is not just one country. This may include Europe as well as China. How has America sinned against the Lord? Could be abortion, could be the pandemic, could be the vaccine, could be blaming Iraq for 911, the list is very long. Now with this movie "The Sound of Freedom" it could be from Child trafficking, Disney, Biden throwing open the border, etc. Think of the millions of children who have been stolen and trafficked. They all have parents, aunts, uncles, friends. When they hear that the US is the prime customer for this crime they will spare no arrows.

15 Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the Lord: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.

The foundation of a country is righteousness and justice. That has fallen. Biden has thrown our walls down. We used to have border security, we used to protect children, we used to put criminal in prison. This is the vengeance of the Lord. We have rained drone attacks on other countries, we have put together the "coalition of the willing" to attack a country for manufactured reasons. We seized the assets of other countries and froze their bank accounts. As we have done it will be done to us.

16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.

The US will be overrun with foreigners from China, Russia, the UN, etc. No one is going to be able to farm in this situation. If the US stops growing food you are talking about a major hit to the world's food supply.

Everyone needs to see the vision of this verse

Colossians 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

These feast days, these holy days that we are celebrating and that the Bible gives us are a shadow of a future event. When you celebrate Passover and follow all the steps according to the law what you are doing is tracing out the shadow of a future event which is Jesus crucifixion. You celebrate it on a particular day at a particular time because that is the day and the time in the future when it will take place. However, once Jesus is sacrificed as the lamb of God it is insulting to continue to celebrate the Passover, instead you need to now celebrate the Lord's table. The Lord's table begins with us celebrating what Jesus did for us on the cross but it ends with us looking forward to that day when we will drink the cup with the Lord anew in the kingdom.

That day is also a very big day and that day also casts a long shadow on history. On the one hand that day is a day of life, of resurrection, and of joy and rejoicing. But it also tells the world that judgment is coming, and if judgment is coming it must begin with the house of God. That is a day when "no stone will be left upon another". According to the NT every believer is supposed to be an active member of the church, a person who has a personal relationship with the Lord every day and a person who is involved in ministry. In reality it is probably one out of six believers who actually do. The other five are all resting on other stones to do the work. They are resting on the pillars. When the pillars are removed they will hit the ground.

This is what we see on the 8th and 9th of Av. The 8th of Av is the feast of New wine, the 9th of Av is when God curses the children of Israel for unbelief. What everyone needs to see is that these days are a shadow, it means there is some huge coming event that is going to take place on these days that is leaving a shadow on human history.

666 Honeycomb Clue 🍯 2030 2nd Coming Rapture Soon!


Saul commanding the army to not eat reminds me of this commandment that is given to not talk about the rapture, don't talk about the signs being fulfilled. Jonathan's eyes are opened and he sees that Saul's command troubles the army and had he not given that command they would have had a much greater victory. Imagine if right now millions of Christians all over the world were talking about the signs being fulfilled and the rapture! Then when it happens the entire world would hit its knees. Because no one is talking about it they will leave open the great delusion about alien abduction for some people.

There is honey on the ground

1Samuel 14:25 And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground.

Right now there is honey on the ground for anyone who is a believer and has been preaching the return of the Lord. You have the mark of the beast, you have the copyright being 666, you have the pandemic causing a worldwide shutdown of the economy (a Sabbath rest declared by God) which was prophesied of by Joel and indicates the day of the Lord is at hand. You have the Revelation 12 sign in 2017, you have the two cows born with the 7's on their heads indicating the seven years of plenty and the seven years of famine beginning in the Fall of 2023. You have, for the first time in human history, the alliance described in Ezekiel 38 with Russia that could lead to the war in Israel. You have ten kings rising next month with BRICS. You have the seven year covenant being confirmed in September at the UN. You have King Charles and this idol that his been built to him called "The Savior of the World".

26 And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath.

What is wrong with Christians, they should be out there preaching the gospel, warning the world, saying all these things the Lord told us about 2,000 years ago that everyone has said were fanciful allegories are coming true. Why are they afraid to speak/

27 But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.

Do you know why Jonathan didn't hear His father's command? It was because he was out on the front lines fighting the battle while all these cowards were sitting in camp.

28 Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food this day. And the people were faint.

29 Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.

Saul is a type of the Antichrist, it is a deceitful, self promoting, egotistical spirit in the church. It appeals to a bunch of yellow bellied cowardly Christians afraid to get out there and preach the gospel.

There was a woman in the UK who was arrested because the police thought that she might be praying. They couldn't hear anything, she didn't have a sign, wasn't blocking traffic, but they supposed she might be praying and since she was near an abortion clinic that would be breaking the law. They asked her, she said "she might be" and so they arrested her. This is just like Daniel being arrested for praying. I shared this recently while preaching the gospel and told people the good news is that it is still legal in the US to pray.

The honey is right there, take it and use it for the gospel!

Could CBDC's Be Rev.3:10? !! "IF So" we are Sooooooo Out of Here!


(I think this is a reference to Revelation 13, not Revelation 3). He reads the article and it is so clear that this is the beast system being instituted to control what you buy and it is put in force by the Agenda 2030 Covenant. They want to control what you buy based on "climate change" agenda. This proves the covenant being confirmed at the UN this September for seven years which King Charles was the architect of is in fact the covenant that Daniel referred to that starts the seven year period known as the 70th week (or to Christians as the tribulation).

Jeremiah 50:17 Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.

Interesting, the Ottoman Empire did "devour" Israel, turned it into a wasteland. Then the Babylonians (England and the US) have controlled Israel since then.

18 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.

Assyria, are we talking about Iraq, Turkey and Syria? Can you imagine the US being punished as those two countries have been punished!

19 And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and Gilead. 20 In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.

Jeremiah 50:21 Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the Lord, and do according to all that I have commanded thee.

This is where we had the first Gulf War. Think of how awesome the US appeared at that time.

22 A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.


The entire earth saw that battle and that great destruction.

23 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!

The US was the hammer of the whole Earth, how are they cut asunder and broken? How has the US which was so formidable become a desolation among the nations.

Jeremiah 50:24 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the Lord.

A snare is a trap that someone steps into, and "thou are also found" indicates that the US has a terrible secret. Remember when the US blamed Saddam Hussein for 911 and also for WMD's. Supposedly we were invading Iraq to find WMD's. Well this indicates that the US will be caught with WMDs. I suspect this refers to the pandemic which was a bioweapon designed in labs paid for by the US.

25 The Lord hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the Lord God of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.


We don't know what this is referring to. Perhaps the only suggestion of this has come from Vicki Goforth Parnell's dreams and visions of some incredible armoury that Putin and our enemies have hidden underground.

26 Come against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left. 27 Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation.


I learned this many years ago. You don't want to get on the wrong side of the Lord. When the Bible says "vengeance is mine, saith the Lord" embrace that word. If you have an enemy let God deal with him because the things God will do will be far worse than anything you would do.
