At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved,

Jeremiah 50:44 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?45 Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.

This verse is quoted often, "at the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved". One interpretation is that the meteors or nuclear bombs, whichever it is, causes the Earth to be moved from its axis of rotation.

A second interpretation that does not contradict that is that Babylon is such a huge part of the world's economy that when they fall the whole world is impacted.

NEXT WEEK? This SHOWS The Rapture Is Coming SOONER Than You Think!


He focuses on the negative, so from the Edenic dispensation we get Abel, from the Ante-Diluvial dispensation we get Noah + seven more souls. From the Post Diluvial you get Abraham, from the Patriarchal you get Isaac, Jacob and his 12 sons and the 70 souls that came into Egypt. From the legal we got many, many men of faith like David, and Elijah, Moses and Joshua and Caleb. Ultimately when Jesus was crucified you get the 500, and then in the church age you get millions and millions more throughout the 2,000 years. My point is it is like getting gold or silver from ore, most ores are less than 1% gold or silver.

Pattern is Prophecy

Acts 19:24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;

Today our silversmiths make microchips for computers and the internet and they too have "no small gain".

25 Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.

26 Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:

Again, they are now portraying AI as a "god" and asking AI to hold a church service and AI to write a bible. The Beast system involves a digital currency that is completely controlled by a centralized Quantum computer, AI, a social credit score, and RFID chips implanted in your body (the mark of the beast). The beast army will be soldiers connected to this AI system by chips implanted in their brains.

27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.

We are told during the tribulation that the whole world will worship this beast system. The Bible also prophesies that the Lord will destroy this beast system with the breath of his mouth.

Mark 13:26-37 The Lord is at the doors

26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

This refers to the rapture. I subscribe to the theory that Luke is speaking to those who are raptured prior to the tribulation and Mark is written to those who are left behind and Matthew is for Israel. What is interesting is when they asked the Lord for the signs they would see this verse is only in Mark and Matthew. Luke does not have this verse because this will not be a sign that the raptured saints will see.

28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: 29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.

The fig tree signifies Israel. In 1948 Israel as a nation was reformed, that was the fig tree being planted. In 1949 their first Knesset met, that was the seed sprouting. In 1950 they had an official constitution, that was Israel putting forth leaves. All things will be fulfilled, according to Psalm 91 a generation is 70-80 years. So all things need to be fulfilled by 2030, and that refers to Jesus returning in glory in the clouds. This term “it is at the doors” is also very significant. One day Noah entered the ark, the door was shut, and from that point no one could enter in, the flood began. This is given to us as an example of the rapture. A door in heaven is opened, once we enter in, the door is closed. The foolish virgins went and bought oil at the last minute, then they came knocking on the door for the Lord to let them in, but it was too late. Right now we know that “it is at the doors” but at some point in the future those doors will be closed and then it will be too late.

30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.


The seventieth week is 7 years long, so that means it must start by 2023 to fall within this parameter. In 2017 we had the Revelation 12 sign during the Feast of Trumpets to let us know that Jesus was at the door. There is a story about a fig tree that hadn't born fruit after 3 years and the farmer decided to dung it for a 4th year. This year on the Jewish calendar is the "dung year". It is also the fourth year since the Revelation 12 sign. Now is the time to find the fruit of righteousness on this tree. This year will end with Tishrei 1 which is around September 21.

31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

Most of us understand “turkey day” to refer to the fourth Thursday in November, it is an idiom we all understand. This phrase “no one knows the day nor the hour” is a Jewish idiom for the Festival of Trumpets. A typical day for the Jews begins at sunset. However, this festival begins at a new moon. They need two witnesses to testify they saw the new moon, then they blow the trumpets to signify the day has begun. So when Jesus said this the disciples understood He was talking about the festival of Trumpets. Paul said that these festivals are a shadow of things to come. The age began with Jesus being sacrificed as our Passover. That was the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, which became our Lord’s table. He was raised on the feast of firstfruits. The Lord ascended on Shavuot and then the church was born on Pentecost. Those are the first five festivals of the Jewish year, they were each very significant in the move of God in this age. Many of us think the fifth festival has two aspects, the Spirit is poured out at the beginning of this age and then the Spirit steps aside at the end of this age. Pentecost is a hidden feast, you can see it implied in the OT, but not directly mentioned. The fifth feast for the Jews is the festival of Trumpets. Jesus referred to it here, and not only so He said “neither the Son, but the Father”. This is a very significant expression. When a man got married he would first have an engagement contract with his bride (the New Testament), he would pay the price for her (Jesus sacrificing Himself for us) then he would go and prepare a house for them to live in (Jesus said I go to prepare a place for you). Once the house was ready He would then go and get His bride. However, the Father had to tell Him when it was ready, hence no man knoweth but the Father. There is a certain level of surprise to the bride, but we have many indications in the Bible that we will get a one week warning that the Bridegroom is coming. This Feast of Trumpets is a seven year warning, a one week warning, for the Jews. The festival of Trumpets is also the time when the Messiah marries His bride. Once again, Jesus referred to this when He said “you will not see me again until you say ‘blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord’”. This also is a reference to the wedding. When a Jewish man was going to get married the rabbi would “call him up” to the front to read from the Torah. When he approached the congregation would say “blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord”. What I am seeing from a variety of watchmen is the consensus that the Feast of Trumpets is an ideal time for the tribulation to begin. That said there is no reason to think that the rapture and the tribulation will be on the same day. On the contrary all we can really say is that the pre tribulation rapture should take place prior to the tribulation.

33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

Many Christians will say that since we don’t know the day and the hour there is no reason to watch. This is a misunderstanding. On the festival of trumpets you have to watch for the new moon precisely because you don’t know the day and the hour. You don't know the day, you don't know the hour, but the witnesses do know what to watch for, what signs will signal the beginning of this day.

34 For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.

Every one of us has been assigned a job to do by the Lord. You want to be doing that job faithfully when He returns.

35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: 36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

This is a reference to the High Priest. He would walk around the temple at night and if he found those who were supposed to be watching sleeping he would set their clothes on fire. They would wake up, throw off the cloak and run naked in shame. The same thing the Lord warned the lukewarm church in Laodicea of.

37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

Three times we are told to watch. Think of the audacity of believers who teach we don’t need to watch. They say “if you are ready at the Lord’s return that is all that matters”. Time and time again we are told that honoring God’s word, keeping His word, meditating on it, is to honor God. When the Lord tells us to watch and take heed repeatedly to this word, you have a lot of chutzpah to tell saints they don’t need to watch and don’t need to take heed to this word.

verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

2Kings 9:31 And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?

32 And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs.

33 And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode her under foot.

34 And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, and bury her: for she is a king's daughter.

35 And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.

36 Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the Lord, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel:

37 And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.

This story reminds me of the Lord's word. Jezebel being thrown down and eaten by the dogs is what will happen after the rapture to the apostate church. I think that Jezebel depicts the apostate church. What is interesting to me is that we will have this strange character named Jehu pronounced king immediately before this and then come charging in. If they blow the trumpet at the top of the stairs I presume we will see him coming down the stairs, or perhaps the escalator.

Proverbs 24 -- Rare and beautiful treasures fill the house

Saying 20

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

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

Saying 21

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

We need to appreciate the wisdom that the Lord has displayed in building His house. He has filled the church with rare and beautiful treasures. Recently I was considering all the incitement to violence and hate and the attempt to divide us with a race war. What is the best inoculation to this virus? Then it hit me: love one another as Jesus has loved you. If you lived this life it is hard to believe people could fall for this transparent attempt to divide us.

Saying 22

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

A great example of this is given to us in the movie “MoneyBall”. The story is about a General Manager of a small market baseball team trying to compete in a league where some teams had budgets two or three times greater than him. He ultimately teams up with a guy just out of college without any experience in baseball. They use statistical analysis to find players who are undervalued, guys they can get at a big discount. He is incredibly successful setting a new record for consecutive victories in a single season. We have challenges they are not insurmountable, rather we need guidance and the Lord has already filled His house with these rare and beautiful treasures that can provide that guidance.

Paul's Testimony

18 And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,


There are many pastors and ministers whose ministry seems to deviate over time. Perhaps they are influenced by the winds and waves, perhaps the donors, perhaps the sentiment in the community or their fading popularity.

19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:

You can know a lot about a minister of the word of God by who their enemies are and who their friends are. Consider some of these pastors who are always invited to the Whitehouse and have powerful political friends. Nancy Reagan was involved in the occult, George Bush was in the Skull and Bones, a FreeMason group, Hillary Clinton was involved in the Lesbian movement and witchcraft, Obama was involved in Islam and built his campaign stage to look like the throne of Zeus, Trump tower is built as a temple to Moloch. Joe Biden took the oath of office on a Freemason Bible. Why would anyone serving the Lord Jesus put up pictures of themselves with people associated with the occult?

20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,

This is a brilliant way that the Freemasons and Jesuits influence Christianity. They will get on the board of directors, they don't tell the pastor what he can say, they simply tell him what not to say. Don't talk about the rapture and don't talk about the Antichrist, and so there are certain topics that are "off limits". Likewise if you discover the public persona of one of these pastors is quite different from who they are in private, that is a major sign to run.

21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

I have also seen this, that some pastors have a message for their members which is different from what they speak to those who are without. That is a sign of a cult. We are children of the light, we walk in the light, we have renounced the hidden things of darkness.

22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:

We need the spirit of a martyr. We are not trying to save our ministry or ourself. We are here to be witnesses of the Lord and to speak the truth regardless of what may befall us.

23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.

Paul had a tremendous amount of revelation, his ministry is a major turning point in human history and apparently, by his own testimony, bonds and afflictions helped him with that. We should look at everything that comes to us as coming from the Father's hand and is a blessing.

24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

This is power. Why has the church become something with the appearance of godliness but powerless? Because they are moved by these things. People don't like this verse or that verse, fine we'll remove them from our Bible. They are spineless, they are not standing against the forces of evil.

25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.

27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

James told us there is a greater judgment on those who teach the word of God. If you shun to declare all the counsel of God then you will have their blood on your head. Do not show up to the judgement saying "I only spoke the truth, only spoke the Bible". Not good enough. Did you shun to share the whole counsel of God? Think of the mockery and ridicule you get when you point to July 26th as the 8th and 9th of Av and say that this day appears to be the shadow of the rapture and subsequent judgement on the apostate church. In August it looks like the ten kings are rising and in September it looks like the Antichrist is confirming the covenant with the many for seven years. That is the kind of fellowship that people shun declaring.

28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

The Lord said that if you are here feeding the sheep at the right time when He returns then you are blessed. It was not the right time to share this word about the 9th of Av in the 1950s or 1960s. But now, with talk of a beast system (AI, chips in the brain, and quantum computers) and with talk of King Charles being the Antichrist, and Agenda 2030 being the 7 year covenant that Daniel mentioned, now is the right time.

29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

Remember the story of Jezebel being thrown out of her tower and eaten by the dogs? That is coming after the rapture. You want to be humble, on the first floor, not up high in a tower, and you want to be on the right side. Now is the last chance to renounce any affiliation with Jezebel. I heard members of Trump's inner circle saying anyone who knows about this child trafficking, they have until July 20th to step forward as a whistleblower, after that you will be one of the guilty ones.

30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

In the last couple of years we have seen people speaking perverse things that are stunning. I saw some comedian joking about how Jesus loves her the most because she got all these shots and boosters and never got Covid and then she collapsed. I saw some LGBTQ+ person saying how the LGBTQ community has so much to offer to the children of the church's congregation (he was speaking from the pulpit) and then the lights went out as you could hear thunder and lightening drown him out as he tried to say that it wasn't God's judgement.

31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

I began this blog in 2020 after getting Covid in March of 2020. I had to move from another platform to this one after they froze my account. But I would also point out that "I never ceased". I have posted the word of warning every single day since starting.

32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

The focus of this blog is everything to do with the rapture and that includes the word of grace that is able to build you up. I view the rapture as the Lord taking out the front row of the church. All those who do everything that everyone else relies on. When they are raptured the second row must step forward.

33 I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.

The prosperity gospel is so blatantly obvious that it is from the pit of hell. Please note that with this blog I never tried to monetize it. I don't sell books or Tshirts or in any way try to make merchandise of those who read this. I never shared paypal accounts or any of that other stuff. I did not want anyone to think there was any other motive for this blog than to warn people.

34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.

I appreciate ministries that allow us to partner with them by contributing. I appreciate the Gideon's that I can give them money to print and distribute Bibles. But in my case the only one who would have any say in what I could and could not say was the Lord Jesus.

35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

What those who are raptured will leave behind for those who are not raptured is an example, that it is more blessed to give than to receive.

36 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.

Comparing Luke with Mark to see what will happen at the time of the rapture

Mark 11:13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

This story is not in Luke. But when we look in Luke we will see why. Right now we hear the Trump campaign talking about firing people in the deep state and replacing thousands of bureaucrats. So already we are hearing about the cursing of the fig tree, but Mark talks about those who are left behind after the rapture and Luke talks about those who are taken prior to the tribulation. So the cursing of the fig tree or in this case perhaps the Apple tree is something that is begun a little prior to the tribulation but after the rapture and after the tribulation begins it is done wholesale.

15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves; 16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple. 17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Our government is a den of thieves, I think of that there is no dispute.

18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.

The scribes and chief priests of our government are all those behind the scenes who plot strategy and pull strings. Fearing the people indicates a populist movement which is what Trump is leading.

19 And when even was come, he went out of the city. 20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

The roots of the den of thieves are all the money they get. During the tribulation the money changers will be flipped, the US dollar will no longer be the reserve currency and as a result they can no longer print money freely and so this corrupt fig tree will dry up from the roots. Money is the root of all sorts of evil.

21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

This will be the first lesson to those left behind. Why did you compromise with evil? You had no realization that you were far more powerful than they were. Learn how powerful prayer is, how powerful the Spirit of God is. It is not by might, it is not by power but it is by the My Spirit saith the Lord.

Luke 19:45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; 46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

This is the story in Luke. This is all we will see prior to the rapture. The tribulation is "the day of the Lord", it is in that day that the money changers tables will be flipped. Prior to that you will see some "cleaning house". You will see some begin to be cast out. Perhaps Biden will be impeached and Wray will be impeached.

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

In Luke it is crystal clear, sin is sin. Don't even try to explain away sin. The harm is to you, your wife, your kids, the community. Does this condemn you? We all are condemned and are sinners. We all need Jesus.

But look at what Mark says:

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

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

Then look at what Matthew says

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

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

Flee out of the midst of Babylon

Jeremiah 51:1 Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind; 2 And will send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.

This is describing a fire, when you fan a fire it will burst into flames and roar. In the last two years our borders have been wide open, millions of people have come across, we don't know who they are, many are young men of military age. We could easily have hundreds of thousands of military men already in the country who are here for this point. But not only within, also surrounding us. To the North you have Russia, to the South you have Venezuela. We also have spotted Iranian ships off the coast of Brazil and Chinese ships off the coast of Mexico. Not only so but Russian subs off of both coasts. We are surrounded and they are fanning the fires into flames. "The Sound of Freedom" is a movie about child trafficking. 120 million women worldwide have been trafficked and many men as well, and the US is the biggest customer of this. That will fan into flames the hate of very many against this country. The UK is investigating the vaccine and already the NYTimes has revealed that 30% of those who were said to have died with Covid did not die from it. The numbers were heavily inflated and that was the reason people shut down businesses and accepted this vaccine. This also will fan into flames the hate. Meanwhile investigations into the Nordstream pipeline being blown up keep pointing back to the US, that will cause Germany to fan into flames their hate for us. The arrogant people in the US rose up against the Christians, they mocked them, insulted them, and didn't want to hear their calls for righteousness. OK, now you reap what you have sowed.

3 Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his brigandine: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host.

Did US drones spare the young men in Afghanistan, or Iraq, or many of these other countries? No, OK as you have done it will be done unto you.

4 Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets.

Are we fighting a proxy war with Russia, fighting till the last man in Ukraine is dead? OK, with what measure you measure it will be measured to you.

5 For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the Lord of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.

This arrogance has even spread to our treatment of Israel. The Lord warned countries, if you touch Israel you touch the apple of His eye.

6 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the Lord's vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.

I'm not clear if this simply means the cities of Babel like NYC, Washington DC, San Francisco, Chicago, LA, Miami, etc. Or if this means the entire land of the US. Already there is this arrogant attitude of many in the US calling those in the center of the country "deplorables" and referring to it as "fly over country". When it talks about rising up against the Lord that sounds like NY TV, and Hollywood, and MTV, and CNN out of Atlanta, and Washington DC, etc. I look at this verse and it tells me you don't want to be in any of those cities, as well as twenty more that I could mention. In fact you don't want to be within five miles of any coastline (Atlantic, Pacific, or Gulf).
