Judgement on Babylon is also on Feast of new wine
Jeremiah 51:57 And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.
This sounds like the Feast Belshazzar made for his thousand lords. At that time the handwriting was on the wall, today it is on the internet. This sounds like they will be drunk and this feast will be the Feast of new wine.
58 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.
The United States has been protected by two great oceans. They have served as walls that protect us. They will be broken. Gates lead into the cities. These cities are going to be burned with fire and as a result no one will be entering the city after everyone flees. Imagine you live in NYC and you must flee on foot across bridges into New Jersey or Pennsylvania. If you have ever seen this area to the west of NYC it would be exhausting to walk it. You will be out in the sun, walking on concrete for twenty or thirty miles. Few people today are prepared for that, they will have blisters, sun burn, and be exhausted.
59 The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this Seraiah was a quiet prince. 60 So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon. 61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words; 62 Then shalt thou say, O Lord, thou hast spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.
This was unheard of in human history. This is a reference to radioactive fallout hence no one will live there and it becomes desolate. Usually beasts would overrun an abandoned city very quickly so if that is not happening the radiation must be severe.
63 And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates: 64 And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
This is a very particular judgement. Jesus said that is you stumble little children that you would get this judgement of having a mill stone tied around your neck and being tossed into the sea. This is also the description of the stock market collapse we see in Revelation 18. When you get a devastating attack like this all orders to buy are immediately cancelled and instead the open orders to sell drive the stock market to complete collapse. Many people own stocks on margin, meaning they have borrowed some of the money. If the stock price drops too low the bank that loaned the money can force them to sell. However, if the price drops too quickly they will not be forced to sell in time and not only will the investors go bankrupt but all the banks will collapse as well. These large banks and investment banks are in the sights of the Lord. Apparently they were involved in Epstein island, or some other aspect of trafficking children.

Smorgasbord of Judgments and 144,000 Servants of light
Vicki Goforth Parnell, Audible Voice, 7-13-2023
I'm sleeping and I sit straight up in my bed when I hear this. I grab my ink pen pin.
Shout the alarm have it declared you're safe with me as all declare. Taiwan Has Fallen. A season has come instead of plenty it's none. A harvest of air, and the shelves, are they not bare. A slice of good pie no longer for thee. Instead, judgments do I give from me. A butcher's delight by Putin's hand, as blood is spilled all throughout your land.
Daughter, the time has come for Babylon to eat her ill-gotten fruit. Fruits of discord. Fruits and seeds from your own hands I now give back to thee. A tossed salad of hate from countries afar of those who no longer wish to participate in your poisoned Food Bar. A little of this, a lot of that, is all you receive as plenteous is now gone and my will is done.
Famine, war, strife, and discord is what you shall eat from here on, out. O nation of Babylon, once known as the beautiful and free. A marker has been reached in my timeline that when passed, all will see, that it's no longer you, who has forgotten me, but I have forgotten thee!
I hide my face from your cries your pleas O Babylon until a time when true repentance of heart is once again found inside of thee.
I see the deep things of the heart, O foolish Babylon. There will be no faking your way out of this one, of your love for me, for all to see.
I strip you of your pride. You'll soon have dung to eat as my children of Israel once ate for their sins against me.
Your house is your land, your authorities mean nothing now when there's nothing to eat. Fighting and stealing as money now fails, are just part of what this judgment against you entails.
A day’s wages for wheat that's poisoned to eat, for your nation's people have forgotten me. But for mine who are left, these things to see. You must bless every bite, every drink that comes to thee. Whether it be packaged or opened and free the power of My Name Jesus is all that shall be able to protect thee.
O foolish children who eat in haste, do you now see why in times past your parents would bless their food and pray to me before eating or drinking at a meal? Did I not command you to do so in my holy word?
These are not idle words. A thankful grateful heart who gives thanks to me for all they have and all they shall receive is also a body protected by me. For I know the enemy, and I know him well. I am the only one who can protect thee. Your food is poisoned. O America, which is Babylon to me, your air is poisoned, yet none can see –yet; the effects upon thee but you will.
True repentance of heart a bending of the knee, in honor to me would have stopped or lessened some of these things. O Babylon that comes your way now I shall force feed you these things until you until you're overfilled. As judgment's hand falls harder and harder upon thee.
My disobedient stiff-necked wayward people of Babylon including those belonging to me. How about another slice of judgment's pie. There are eight slices to an average pie. Mine has more, for you have become a greedy people demanding more than what is yours.
No more. I say no more. I give it to you now for all to see. Rulers who have betrayed you from within with allegiances to enemies you once named as friends.
A bank account that's depleted, that's controlled by evil men of 13. When by choice you abandoned your love for me. I am a God of love but also a Man of war whose skills outweigh all of Earth's man's strategies, their guns, and their atomic toys.
Now to the world, I say, “Eat up,” for your unrepenting hearts, I give to you, the Man of Sin, my two end-time witnesses.
Destruction and desolation go hand-in-hand as part of my judgment on ungodly lands.
My anger has come of that you shall see, as I remove my bride and take the restrainer with me.
Woe has come to your world, and all will soon see, and not just the one, count them there's three.
Gabriel, it's time to blow your trumpet. I'm coming for those found waiting and ready in me. No more delays I hear my bride crying now for me. I'm coming my children hold on I'm coming.
A new season has begun the season of the beast, but also the season for me, Jesus. A time of my true Witnesses. A time of my mighty Army to March. Arise O Warriors of light. Arise, hear your Captain command you to arise. Take up your arms O sealed ones of my father. I hereby call you into official duty. Await your coming orders from me. Stay on your knees and await your instructions. Receiving gladness of heart, you will fight with me.
It's time to begin gathering in the Harvest. It's time to physically protect what is mine. It's time to wage war on the enemy, my glorified ones. It's time it's time it's time. Arise O Servants of light. Arise. Arise. Arise Mighty Warriors in me. Arise to your full calling O 144,000 it's time to take your place in me.
To arms! To arms! To arms this day! Be prepared to receive holy orders coming your way! Little children. For some, what seems like the end, is really only the beginning. For those who live humble selfless lives in me.
I come children. I come in many ways. I come as a bridegroom. I come as the Captain of the Host. I am already here as Savior and Righteous Judge.
I come children and I will not be stopped for I am God. Who can stop me!

Let's compare Passover The Lord's Table with Feast of New Wine, because these two feasts fit together like Lego blocks
Luke 2:41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
Passover is the feast for our Parents and you need to go up to Jerusalem to celebrate this.
John 4:20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
But the Lord's table is not like that. The Lord's table is the worship that is in Spirit and in Truth.
Acts 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
We don't go up to Jerusalem to celebrate Pentecost, we depart from Jerusalem with the promise of the Father.
Passover is kept on a specific day each year, Paul said that we keep the Lord's table on "whatever day".
Luke 22:1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
The "feast of unleavened bread" is equated with Passover as if they are two sides of the same coin. The term Passover reminds us of the lamb that is sacrificed for us. It reminds us that the price was paid with the blood of the lamb to leave Egypt.
Pentecost is the Feast of New wine. Again two sides of the same coin so we get the bread and the wine. Pentecost is the only Feast to the Lord with a Greek name indicating that the church is gone to the Gentiles. Instead of counting sabbaths we are counting days, indicating a change in the calendar, another indication of the change of the age. Pentecost means 50, an indication of the completion of grace. New Wine reminds us that you don't put new wine into old wine skins, the church has to be a new wine skin to hold the Holy Spirit. But it also reminds us that the New Wine, signifying the Spirit, is going to burst the old wine skins of religion and human government.
Luke 22:7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
On this day you must kill the passover.
On the day of the feast of New wine you must pour out the wine as an offering to God. The next day, the 9th of Av you must burst the old religion.
Luke 22:8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.
So with the Passover there was an upper room where they would all gather to eat at the Lord's table. Likewise at the rapture we will be caught up to an upper room, the banqueting room referring to a house of wine, where we will eat the wedding feast with the Lord.
Luke 22:15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
The story is like a sandwich. We eat the Passover which becomes the Lord's table when Judas leaves, and we do this before the Lord suffers. Likewise at the beginning of the church age the church enjoyed the feast of New Wine before the tribulation of the age of grace. Then at the end of the age of grace it begins with the church enjoying the House of Wine before the Lord suffers in the tribulation with the tribulation saints, ending with with the Rescue of Israel seven years later, no doubt at the time of Passover.
At the Lord's table we drink the wine and the Lord tells us He won't drink of this again until He drinks it anew with us in the Father's kingdom. At the Lord's table the wine we drink is the Lord's blood poured out for our salvation. However, for two thousand years during the age of grace we partake of the body and blood of Jesus and so we can experience the fellowship of His sufferings and the outstanding resurrection. The saints will all have marvelous experiences of answered prayer and experiences of the Holy Spirit and of the Lord. Many martyrs will pour out their blood, but all the saints have given their life to the Lord. These experiences are new wine, and we will hear all the great works of God throughout the 2,000 years that were done throughout the whole earth.
On the day in which Jesus was betrayed He took the cup and gave it to us. We see the same thing happen on the day of the rapture. Some saints will be taken, but many like Judas will have betrayed the Lord for thirty pieces of silver. There are pastors and priests who have allowed their ministry to be controlled by the money bag. When they are left behind they will be fully exposed and like Judas will commit suicide or have some other version of a cursed ending.
The church is the gentile bride of Christ, Israel is the Jewish bride. The biggest day for weddings in the Jewish calendar is 7 days after the 9th of Av. The Jews were lying down in the graves for seven nights and it wasn't until the seventh night they realized the curse was over. This is the same story that we see in the tribulation where the Jews are rescued seven years after the church.
Luke 2:41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
Passover is the feast for our Parents and you need to go up to Jerusalem to celebrate this.
John 4:20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

We are Spies of the good land
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
When we read about the 12 spies who spied out the good land we are reading about the testimony of those who are born again during the church age.
Numbers 13:4 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
It means Renowned — son of mindful
This reminds me of the Bereans who were more honorable because they would study to see if these things were so. It also reminds me of the Lord's word that ye search the scriptures because in them you think you have life and yet you will not come to the Lord even though the scriptures testify of Him.
5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
It means Judge — Son of Cave dweller
This reminds me of the church in Ephesus that judged those who said they were apostles and weren't. This church left their first love and became judges of the law rather than doers of it.
6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
This means Dog — Son of he will be facing
This reminds me of someone who is living in light of the coming judgement, they have a healthy fear of God which according to Proverbs is the beginning of wisdom. It also reminds me of the story the Lord told of the tax collector who prayed to be forgiven by God being a sinner while a pharisee standing nearby thanked God that he wasn't like that sinful tax collector.
7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
It means He redeems son of Jehovah has added
This reminds me of Martin Luther and the protestant reformation. Prior to that people were paying indulgences and had a very sketchy understanding of what the Lord accomplished on the cross. However this is very much self centered and reminds me of the doctrine that no one can be saved but those who God adds and so you should not preach the gospel to others.
8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
This means Salvation — Son of fish or posterity
The early church used the sign of the fish to indicate they were Christians because in Greek the letters make an acrostic for Jesus Christ. This reminds me that Jesus gives us eternal salvation and that He will make us fishers of men.
9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
This means My deliverance — son of healed
It reminds me of deliverance ministry, healing ministries, and this obsession with miraculous ministries. This was thought to aid in the preaching of the gospel but opened the door to all kinds of scam artists.
10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
This means God is my fortune — son of acquaintance
This reminds me of the prosperity gospel, preaching about being blessed and equating that with fortune. The church becomes a "bless me" club. When you are preaching the gospel that Jesus is eternal salvation you can focus on how we are all sinners condemned and we will have to face God's judgement in the future and only the Lord's blood washes us clean. Or, if you don't want to offend people by talking about sins you can turn the gospel into a magic show, healing ministry and a bless me club.
11 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
This means My fortune — son of my horse
Once again, all about "me". My fortune, my horse. Some churches emphasize how it is your hard work, teach from Proverbs, lift yourself up by your bootstraps doctrine.
12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
This means My Kinsman is God — Son of Camel driver
Some churches emphasize that we are sons of God and it borders on being a cult. We are royalty, sons of the King, hallelujah. They don't emphasize that Jesus humbled himself and became a servant of all.
13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
This means Hidden — Son of Who is like God
Then there are those who are focused on the hidden mysteries of God and that we are to be transformed into the image and likeness of God. Sounds wonderful but again is all focused on me, on being transformed, not on becoming fishers of men or standing at the judgement seat. If you emphasize that we have been commissioned to be fishers of men and we will all have to stand at the judgement seat one day, then that motivates people to be doers of the law, not just spectators.
14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
This means Hidden (occult) — Son of “rich”
The other problem with being obsessed with hidden, secret mysteries is it opens the door for the occult, for the Jesuits to come in and subvert the church, and for Freemasons.
15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
This means Majesty of God — Son of decrease
The majesty of God is not a thing to be grasped. If you try to imitate it with grand cathedrals, and pompous displays and rituals you are fully into the tree of the knowledge of good and evil trying to be like God rather than filled with the life of God.
All twelve of these are giving us something from the Bible, but only Caleb and Joshua give us the principles that will cause us to live out a life one with the Lord Jesus.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
When we read about the 12 spies who spied out the good land we are reading about the testimony of those who are born again during the church age.
Numbers 13:4 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
It means Renowned — son of mindful
This reminds me of the Bereans who were more honorable because they would study to see if these things were so. It also reminds me of the Lord's word that ye search the scriptures because in them you think you have life and yet you will not come to the Lord even though the scriptures testify of Him.
5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
It means Judge — Son of Cave dweller
This reminds me of the church in Ephesus that judged those who said they were apostles and weren't. This church left their first love and became judges of the law rather than doers of it.
6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
This means Dog — Son of he will be facing
This reminds me of someone who is living in light of the coming judgement, they have a healthy fear of God which according to Proverbs is the beginning of wisdom. It also reminds me of the story the Lord told of the tax collector who prayed to be forgiven by God being a sinner while a pharisee standing nearby thanked God that he wasn't like that sinful tax collector.
7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
It means He redeems son of Jehovah has added
This reminds me of Martin Luther and the protestant reformation. Prior to that people were paying indulgences and had a very sketchy understanding of what the Lord accomplished on the cross. However this is very much self centered and reminds me of the doctrine that no one can be saved but those who God adds and so you should not preach the gospel to others.
8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
This means Salvation — Son of fish or posterity
The early church used the sign of the fish to indicate they were Christians because in Greek the letters make an acrostic for Jesus Christ. This reminds me that Jesus gives us eternal salvation and that He will make us fishers of men.
9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
This means My deliverance — son of healed
It reminds me of deliverance ministry, healing ministries, and this obsession with miraculous ministries. This was thought to aid in the preaching of the gospel but opened the door to all kinds of scam artists.
10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
This means God is my fortune — son of acquaintance
This reminds me of the prosperity gospel, preaching about being blessed and equating that with fortune. The church becomes a "bless me" club. When you are preaching the gospel that Jesus is eternal salvation you can focus on how we are all sinners condemned and we will have to face God's judgement in the future and only the Lord's blood washes us clean. Or, if you don't want to offend people by talking about sins you can turn the gospel into a magic show, healing ministry and a bless me club.
11 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
This means My fortune — son of my horse
Once again, all about "me". My fortune, my horse. Some churches emphasize how it is your hard work, teach from Proverbs, lift yourself up by your bootstraps doctrine.
12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
This means My Kinsman is God — Son of Camel driver
Some churches emphasize that we are sons of God and it borders on being a cult. We are royalty, sons of the King, hallelujah. They don't emphasize that Jesus humbled himself and became a servant of all.
13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
This means Hidden — Son of Who is like God
Then there are those who are focused on the hidden mysteries of God and that we are to be transformed into the image and likeness of God. Sounds wonderful but again is all focused on me, on being transformed, not on becoming fishers of men or standing at the judgement seat. If you emphasize that we have been commissioned to be fishers of men and we will all have to stand at the judgement seat one day, then that motivates people to be doers of the law, not just spectators.
14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
This means Hidden (occult) — Son of “rich”
The other problem with being obsessed with hidden, secret mysteries is it opens the door for the occult, for the Jesuits to come in and subvert the church, and for Freemasons.
15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
This means Majesty of God — Son of decrease
The majesty of God is not a thing to be grasped. If you try to imitate it with grand cathedrals, and pompous displays and rituals you are fully into the tree of the knowledge of good and evil trying to be like God rather than filled with the life of God.
All twelve of these are giving us something from the Bible, but only Caleb and Joshua give us the principles that will cause us to live out a life one with the Lord Jesus.
Jesus: The Lord is Salvation
16 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
Oshea means salvation, Jehoshua means Jehovah is salvation. Joshua was not born Joshua, he was transformed to be Joshua. This is a picture for us. Jesus is the image of the invisible God, He lives inside of each of us, if we allow Him to fill us and flow through us we will ultimately be transformed to express Him. This is not something to be grasped. Rather for us we are servants going to the cross, but for others they will see Jesus in us.
17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:
18 And see the land, what it is, and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;
19 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;
20 And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.
The time of the firstripe grapes is the time of Pentecost, the feast of New Wine. The church age is the time of first ripe grapes. Many of the doctrines beginning with Peter going to the Gentiles were "first ripe grapes". The church is the new wine skin filled with the new wine. Some can read this passage and they see "dominion theology" thinking that we are spying out Satan's kingdom. This is false, the good land is Jesus Christ, the incarnated word of God.
Colossians 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
We can walk in this good land which is Jesus, we are rooted in this land and we are built up in this land. We bring forth fruit as long as we abide in Him.
16 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
Oshea means salvation, Jehoshua means Jehovah is salvation. Joshua was not born Joshua, he was transformed to be Joshua. This is a picture for us. Jesus is the image of the invisible God, He lives inside of each of us, if we allow Him to fill us and flow through us we will ultimately be transformed to express Him.

20 And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.

Colossians 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
We can walk in this good land which is Jesus, we are rooted in this land and we are built up in this land. We bring forth fruit as long as we abide in Him.
Church history: we are well able to take this land vs we are not able
Numbers 13:21 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
22 And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
Children of Anak refer to the giants. According to Enoch the fallen angels came down to Mount Hebron.
23 And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
The forty days of searching out the land could refer to the 40 jubilees that was the age of grace. Many think that a jubilee is the first year of a cycle of seven shemitahs, hence 49 years from one jubilee to the next. That would be 1,960 years.
26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.
I think this describes the church age, what we have been doing for the last 40 jubilees or 2,000 years is spying out the good land of Jesus Christ and bringing back the fruits of the land.
27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
This is the temptation to the apostasy, become partners with the world. We need our singers to become part of the world's singers. We need our preachers to preach on the radio, TV, etc.
30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
We have seen this throughout the last two thousand years brothers with no money, no support, just faith and a calling accomplishing great things.
31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
This is the apostasy, this is laodicea, always afraid that the world will squash the church like a bug.
32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
Numbers 13:21 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.

Laodicea cries out!
Numbers 14:1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. 2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness! 3 And wherefore hath the Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt? 4 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
This is the church in Laodicea, the church ruled by the people, that appears at the end of the age, the end of the 40 jubilees. Bunch of yellow bellied cowards want to go running back to the world. Murmuring against Moses is like rejecting the Bible.
5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel. 6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes: 7 And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land. 8 If the Lord delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.
That is the message we have been sharing these last few years.
9 Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us: fear them not.
Bunch of clueless cowards. Fear God, that is the one you need to fear and that is the one those giants in Israel fear.
10 But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the Lord appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.
So after hearing all this, the glory of the Lord appears. Could that be a reference to the rapture?
Numbers 14:1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. 2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness! 3 And wherefore hath the Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt? 4 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.

Isn't this talking about the tribulation and those left behind?
Numbers 14:11 And the Lord said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them? 12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
Jesus talked about those who would be locked out of the marriage feast where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. Sounds like this is what He was referring to.
Numbers 14:11 And the Lord said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them? 12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
Jesus talked about those who would be locked out of the marriage feast where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. Sounds like this is what He was referring to.
Not one stone will be left upon another
Numbers 14:13 And Moses said unto the Lord, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them
14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou Lord art among this people, that thou Lord art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
15 Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
16 Because the Lord was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.
The unbelievers have heard about the rapture, if they don't see it you know they will be crowing about that.
17 And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
18 The Lord is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
19 Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
20 And the Lord said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
21 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.
The Lord's blood washes us from all sin, so think how big a deal unbelief is. Why would you fear the creature instead of the creator? The whole earth will be filled with the glory of the Lord. Many of us have wondered if the pre tribulation rapture will be secret. No, because the whole earth will be filled with the glory of the Lord. However those who love a lie will embrace the great deception as an explanation. Satan would not be going to all this effort to explain where the fallen angels came from and what happened to those who were raptured if it was going to be secret. No, everyone will see it and those that prefer to believe the lie instead of the gospel will be condemned as a result of that.
22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice; 23 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
This is a warning from God, fear Him. He allows you to tempt him ten times, but in the end you will pay a very steep price for that.
24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
Numbers 14:13 And Moses said unto the Lord, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them
14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou Lord art among this people, that thou Lord art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.

Judgement on the Apostates
25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea. 26 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 27 How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me. 28 Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you: 29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me.
This sounds like the tribulation to me.
30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
This sounds like the pre-tribulation rapture
31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
This sounds like the tribulation saints.
32 But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness. 33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
In other words the tribulation saints will bear the whoredoms. Not the unbelief, but the whoredoms. Do you get that? All these Christians who say "no one can know the day or the hour" or that tell us to stop talking about the rapture and the Lord's coming. The problem is not that they cannot understand what the Bible is saying. The problem is they love the world and don't want to understand what the Bible is saying. God knows the heart, it wasn't a problem of understanding, it was a problem of whoredom.
34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
For 40 jubilees we have searched the word, the Bible is the land that we have searched out.
35 I the Lord have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
Every knee will bow, if you claim to be a believer that should have been lesson #1.
36 And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land, 37 Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the Lord.
This is what I expect will happen right after the rapture to all those pastors who misled and taught phony doctrines misleading the believers.
38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still. 39 And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
40 And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the Lord hath promised: for we have sinned.
This is utter rebellion. God has said your judgement and yet you think you can erase that? Humble yourself beneath the mighty hand of God and maybe he will have mercy on you.
41 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the Lord? but it shall not prosper. 42 Go not up, for the Lord is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.
How are people so dismissive of spiritual warfare. Would you get into the ring with Mike Tyson? Do you really think spiritual warfare requires less training? You seriously think it is harder to become a blackbelt in Karate than to be on the front lines in spiritual warfare. No wonder God has no respect for them, they have no respect for the things of God.
43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the Lord, therefore the Lord will not be with you. 44 But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and Moses, departed not out of the camp. 45 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.
25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea. 26 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 27 How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me. 28 Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you: 29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me.
This sounds like the tribulation to me.
30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
This sounds like the pre-tribulation rapture
31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
This sounds like the tribulation saints.
32 But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness. 33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
In other words the tribulation saints will bear the whoredoms. Not the unbelief, but the whoredoms. Do you get that? All these Christians who say "no one can know the day or the hour" or that tell us to stop talking about the rapture and the Lord's coming. The problem is not that they cannot understand what the Bible is saying. The problem is they love the world and don't want to understand what the Bible is saying. God knows the heart, it wasn't a problem of understanding, it was a problem of whoredom.
34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
For 40 jubilees we have searched the word, the Bible is the land that we have searched out.
35 I the Lord have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
Every knee will bow, if you claim to be a believer that should have been lesson #1.
36 And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land, 37 Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the Lord.
This is what I expect will happen right after the rapture to all those pastors who misled and taught phony doctrines misleading the believers.
38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still. 39 And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
40 And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the Lord hath promised: for we have sinned.
This is utter rebellion. God has said your judgement and yet you think you can erase that? Humble yourself beneath the mighty hand of God and maybe he will have mercy on you.
41 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the Lord? but it shall not prosper. 42 Go not up, for the Lord is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.
How are people so dismissive of spiritual warfare. Would you get into the ring with Mike Tyson? Do you really think spiritual warfare requires less training? You seriously think it is harder to become a blackbelt in Karate than to be on the front lines in spiritual warfare. No wonder God has no respect for them, they have no respect for the things of God.
43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the Lord, therefore the Lord will not be with you. 44 But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and Moses, departed not out of the camp. 45 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.
We have a future hope
Saying 26
13 Eat honey, my son, for it is good; honey from the comb is sweet to your taste. 14 Know also that wisdom is like honey for you: If you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.
It is a completely different view to losing, if you have found wisdom losing is simply a master class on winning. Evil people cheat so if they lose they assume the other person cheated. Wise people know that there is always a way for them to improve and win, so if you lose they are showing you your weakness and if you learn that you will become stronger and be able to win in the future. So, there is always a future hope for you.
Saying 27
15 Do not lurk like a thief near the house of the righteous, do not plunder their dwelling place; 16 for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.
After the January 6 riot they claimed that the people in the Trump rally beat a policeman to death. This turned out to be a lie that was quickly disproved, so they changed it to they killed him by spraying him with bear spray. However, no one has ever been killed by bear spray and so people were naturally skeptical and wanted to see the toxicology report. Finally they admitted he died of natural causes. The righteous do not quit because they know the accusation is a lie. Think about the movie concerning “The Hurricane”. Though the righteous fall seven times they rise again. However, now that this lie has been exposed it is like calamity striking the wicked and they are stumbling all over themselves. This is why you have to learn to be righteous and have a righteous stance. The enemy can come at you repeatedly but as long as you are standing on solid ground you can hold your ground. We stand on the blood of Christ. That is a terrifying stance to the enemy.
Saying 28
17 Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice, 18 or the Lord will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from them.
How many times have we seen that. Think about the year Jamieson Winston was gloating as the New Orleans Saints beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers twice during the regular season, but the Lord turned his wrath away and Tampa beat the Saints in the playoffs. Or consider the Kansas City Chiefs, their star receiver did a back flip into the end zone in the regular season as they beat Tampa Bay, but again the Lord turned his wrath from them and Tampa beat KC in the SuperBowl.
Saying 29
19 Do not fret because of evildoers or be envious of the wicked, 20 for the evildoer has no future hope, and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.
This is so awesome. Evil doers win by deceit. Once they have been found out it is over. This is why I was so impressed with Vince Lombardi. There was no deceit in his game, everyone knew it would be “the Packer sweep” but they executed it so well that no one could stop it. If you have to win by deceit what happens when others find out? Why do you think they are going crazy over these election integrity bills being passed in 47 states? Their deceit has been exposed and now they have no future hope.
