How is it that this Man has learning

John 7:14 When the Feast was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple [court] and began to teach.

The things we have learned since the Revelation 12 sign are amazing. We have discovered so much hidden and woven into the word pointing to 2030 and 2023.

15 The Jews were astonished. They said, How is it that this Man has learning [is so versed in the sacred Scriptures and in theology] when He has never studied?

LOL, yep, most of these guys who are watchmen are not trained in seminary.

16 Jesus answered them by saying, My teaching is not My own, but His Who sent Me.

That is the secret, this isn't some canned sermon from the great Bible teachers of the past, it is simply reading the word of God, and seeking the Lord for answers.

17 If any man desires to do His will (God’s pleasure), he will know (have the needed illumination to recognize, and can tell for himself) whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking from Myself and of My own accord and on My own authority.

Again, very true. 80% of what I look at every day I don't share. The goal is to do His will, not to have click bait, or flashy posts, or make believe prophesies.

18 He who speaks on his own authority seeks to win honor for himself. [He whose teaching originates with himself seeks his own glory.] But He Who seeks the glory and is eager for the honor of Him Who sent Him, He is true; and there is no unrighteousness or falsehood or deception in Him.

Amen

GET READY! IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WORLDWIDE / FRIDAY THE 13TH


Reminds me of the days of Lot.

Genesis 19:1 It was evening when the two angels came to Sodom. Lot was sitting at Sodom’s [city] gate. Seeing them, Lot rose up to meet them and bowed to the ground. 2 And he said, My lords, turn aside, I beg of you, into your servant’s house and spend the night and bathe your feet. Then you can arise early and go on your way. But they said, No, we will spend the night in the square. 3 [Lot] entreated and urged them greatly until they yielded and [with him] entered his house. And he made them a dinner [with drinking] and had unleavened bread which he baked, and they ate. 4 But before they lay down, the men of the city of Sodom, both young and old, all the men from every quarter, surrounded the house. 5 And they called to Lot and said, Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know (be intimate with) them. 6 And Lot went out of the door to the men and shut the door after him 7 And said, I beg of you, my brothers, do not behave so wickedly.

Reminds me of the Purge.

Judge fairly and righteously

John 7:19 Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet not one of you keeps the Law. [If that is the truth] why do you seek to kill Me [for not keeping it]?

How many people are justifying the weaponization of the DOJ to try and "kill" Donald Trump because he supposedly is a bad person. Can you imagine justifying "murder" because someone said something you don't like or is an obnoxious jerk?

20 The crowd answered Him, You are possessed by a demon! [You are raving!] Who seeks to kill You? 21 Jesus answered them, I did one work, and you all are astounded.

It was definitely astounding to see Donald Trump as President. That seemed to be reality TV and not real life.

22 Now Moses established circumcision among you—though it did not originate with Moses but with the previous patriarchs—and you circumcise a person [even] on the Sabbath day. 23 If, to avoid breaking the Law of Moses, a person undergoes circumcision on the Sabbath day, have you any cause to be angry with (indignant with, bitter against) Me for making a man’s whole body well on the Sabbath?

Is there really any reason why Trump could not receive Jesus and get saved?

24 Be honest in your judgment and do not decide at a glance (superficially and by appearances); but judge fairly and righteously.

Let's be honest, everything they accused Trump of they are guilty of. They accused him of stealing an election, they accused him of trying to inject people with bleach, they accused him of being corrupt, and on and on.

25 Then some of the Jerusalem people said, Is not this the Man they seek to kill?

Some of the people? I think it is now over 50% agree that they are trying to "kill" Trump. If you judge fairly and righteously you will see that all of the attacks on Trump are pure hypocrisy.

PROPHECY-- SOUNDS OF WAR


Jeremiah 22:7-9 7 And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast them into the fire. 8 And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbour, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this great city? 9 Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them.

My son, record what I speak to you today - for soon THE SOUNDS OF WAR WILL BE ALL THAT IS HEARD. As nation wars against nation and people war against people, MY SPIRIT WILL FLOW to those who seek Me. The sounds of weeping and howling will be heard throughout all of America as My ARMIES OF INDIGNATION move across the land. The enemy is already INSIDE THE CAMP, and soon they will mobilize and take vengeance upon the people. These soldiers have no heart and will not show mercy. They will will steal, rape, and pillage in every corner of America.

My son, My children have not heard the warnings, nor have they repented of the wickedness they do. My children in America will now face the right hand of an angry God. Just as earthly fathers use their right hand to dole out correction on their children, I too will use My right hand on My children who refuse to repent and turn to Me.

My son, the SOUNDS OF WAR with all the violence will soon engulf America. The rebellions will start in the large cities and then move out to the rural areas. This army will be as the sands of the sea, covering large areas with bloodshed. Many Americans will stand and fight in the flesh, but THIS BATTLE IS SPIRITUAL AND MUST BE FOUGHT ON YOUR KNEES! I will protect and provide for those whose hearts are truly Mine. Those that repent daily and seek Me in all things. You, My chosen Remnant, will see and hear the SOUNDS OF WAR, but it will not come nigh you.

My son, soon My body will realize the TIME OF PRESSURE is upon them, and they will wake up to the fact that THEY ARE STILL HERE! I tell you now, My body, to reach the lost and turn to Me, or the SOUNDS OF WAR will overtake you. Many, many will perish in the coming destruction of Mystery Babylon, and the whole world WILL GASP at her destruction. DO NOT SIT CALMLY IN YOUR HOME - THINKING NOTHING IS COMING! DON'T YOU HEAR THE SOUNDS OF WAR COMING CLOSER??? I LOVE YOU ALL. BRACE NOW!!

Amen. Lord Jesus

Pray for one another that we would be able to stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

Colossians 4:12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

If you disregard the warning from God, you need to repent.

Isaiah 48:1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.

This is a word to those who pretend to be following Jesus. Everyone has this affliction, and the only way to keep it in check is with a daily time in the word of God and prayer. Only a real relationship with the Lord Jesus can keep this in check.

2 For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The Lord of hosts is his name.

We all want this to be the case, even the apostate church. The problem is there is a price to pay and not all pay that price. The reason so many Christians mock and ridicule the watchmen community is because they are not ready for the Lord to return, they are not ready to pay that price.

3 I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.

In the 80s we theorized that Prince Charles could be the Antichrist, but he would have to be king. We theorized that the mark of the beast could only be in Europe because we couldn't fathom how it could be implemented in the whole world, we had no idea about deep fakes or neuralink or a "beast army" where each soldier is connected to the AI system. We had no idea about Agenda 2030, ignored Psalm 83, and I could go on. The point being is that if you are not paying careful attention every day and taking notes all this will happen to you very suddenly.

4 Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass; 5 I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.

I couldn't have forseen this 40 years ago, imagine Jesus and John and Paul seeing this 2,000 years ago.

6 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.

Yes, in the last two years I have seen as many "new things" from the Bible that I didn't know as in the previous 48 years.

7 They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.

8 Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.

Hey, if you want to claim you knew them then show me a Youtube video, or a Bible commentary, or a book or anywhere that it was published? We need to repent of all our sins. There is a song from Simon and Garfunkel called the Boxer which says "a man sees what he wants to see and disregards the rest". That is a sin. If you only see what you want to see from the word of God and disregard the rest, you need to repent.

9 For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.

10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

The three friends of Daniel went into the furnace of fire, it is a picture of the tribulation. If you want to go through the tribulation unharmed you need to take a stand for the Lord, just as absolute as they did.

11 For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.

When the Christ comes, will He do more miracles and produce more proofs and signs than what this Man has done?

John 7:26 And here He is speaking openly, and they say nothing to Him! Can it be possible that the rulers have discovered and know that this is truly the Christ?

One thing about Trump that is amazing is he speaks openly, holds no punches. That was what separated him from all other politicians.

27 No, we know where this Man comes from; when the Christ arrives, no one is to know from what place He comes.

Here is what is totally befudddling about Jesus, He puts this treasure in earthen vessels. I have been talking about Trump because everyone is familiar with his story. But the truth is that story is repeated in all genuine believers, it is mind boggling how these different ones speak the word of God. The analogy is to petrified wood. You look like some old tree branch on the side of the road that anyone could kick, but if you kick one of these you break your toe and discover they are not wood, they are jasper. They have been "reconstituted".

28 Whereupon Jesus called out as He taught in the temple [porches], Do you know Me, and do you know where I am from? I have not come on My own authority and of My own accord and as self-appointed, but the One Who sent Me is true (real, genuine, steadfast); and Him you do not know!

How are we supposed to know? Trump is a playboy, he is obnoxious, offensive, and speaks like a gangster with a sixth grade vocabulary. The way to know is to know the Bible, the word of God and to know the one who sent the believers. If you know Jesus and the apostles and now you see some very popular and financially successful preacher with his luxury car, mansion and private plane you will immediately be wondering "this guy doesn't seem to be sent from the ones I know".

29 I know Him [Myself] because I come from His [very] presence, and it was He [personally] Who sent Me.

This is what the Lord says. You have to have a personal relationship with the Lord. I remember the first time I saw a video by Dr. Barry Awe. He looked like a clown and I would have clicked away in the first five minutes, but the night before I had been praying for help from the Lord and that night I had a very strange dream where I saw Dr. Barry Awe. So when I saw him I immediately realized "this clown" is the one the Lord is sending to help me.

30 Therefore they were eager to arrest Him, but no one laid a hand on Him, for His hour (time) had not yet come.

Every one who is a faithful witness of the Lord does not have to worry about what they are eager to do. The Lord has appointed us a ministry and if we are faithful to Him and trust in Him we wont be stopped until it is fulfilled. 2Corinthians 10:6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. The Lord is ready to deal with all disobedience, but first we must fulfill all of our obedience. That gives the Lord the standing to judge others.

31 And besides, many of the multitude believed in Him [adhered to Him, trusted in Him, relied on Him]. And they kept saying, When the Christ comes, will He do [can He be expected to do] more miracles and produce more proofs and signs than what this Man has done?

Every day more and more are believing on the Lord. You can complain about Biden, but many have turned to become more absolute for the Lord because of him. You can complain about the apostate church and all those mocking and ridiculing the watchmen but everyday more and more people are believing that the tribulation is starting and the rapture is about to take place.

But some said, What? Does the Christ come out of Galilee? 42 Does not the Scripture tell us that the Christ will come from the offspring of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?

John 7:32 The Pharisees learned how the people were saying these things about Him under their breath; and the chief priests and Pharisees sent attendants (guards) to arrest Him.

The major platforms have suspended, demonetized and deplatformed people saying these things. I was suspended from Facebook, they wouldn't tell me what rule I broke or what the offensive post was, so I deleted my account and moved on. However, I have noticed that those who do stay on Youtube or these other platforms are forced to speak in code and they will break it up where they say a few words and then point to other words they won't say, etc.

33 Therefore Jesus said, For a little while I am [still] with you, and then I go back to Him Who sent Me. 34 You will look for Me, but you will not [be able to] find Me; where I am, you cannot come.

That is the central point of the message, we are awaiting a rapture, a rescue from this evil age. We are simply here as witnesses to turn as many as possible to the Lord. We understand the whole world lies in the evil one and is a condemned building.

35 Then the Jews said among themselves, Where does this Man intend to go that we shall not find Him? Will He go to the Jews who are scattered in the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

No, we intend to go to heaven to be with the Lord.

36 What does this statement of His mean, You will look for Me and not be able to find Me, and, Where I am, you cannot come?

It means that after the rapture there will be great confusion. It means many will be crying out to go to but they will be left behind.

37 Now on the final and most important day of the Feast, Jesus stood, and He cried in a loud voice, If any man is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink!

Unlike all these other religions which tell you to fast, pray, climb that mountain, sit in a monastary for a month, wait for some spirit vision.

38 He who believes in Me [who cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me] as the Scripture has said, From his innermost being shall flow [continuously] springs and rivers of living water.

This is how you know who does believe in the Lord. Some who pretend to will use canned messages and commentaries and soon it becomes very obvious their is no springs of living water and fresh revelation.

39 But He was speaking here of the Spirit, Whom those who believed (trusted, had faith) in Him were afterward to receive. For the [Holy] Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified (raised to honor).

The Spirit flowing through us has been processed, it was incarnated, lived a human life, crucified, buried, resurrected and ascended. Regardless of where you are in life it can supply you.

40 Listening to those words, some of the multitude said, This is certainly and beyond doubt the Prophet! 41 Others said, This is the Christ (the Messiah, Anointed One)! But some said, What? Does the Christ come out of Galilee? 42 Does not the Scripture tell us that the Christ will come from the offspring of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?

These are not trolls, this is a valid point, dig into this more and discover where He is from. We saw a lot of criticism like this of the watchmen, they thought it was trolls, but it was valid and constructive criticism and identified where they should be digging next.

43 So there arose a division and dissension among the people concerning Him.


That is a negative consequence. No reason to have a division, both are right. Jesus is the prophet, He is the Christ, and He appears to have come out of Galilee but the Bible says He should be born in Bethlehem. Investigate that.

44 Some of them wanted to arrest Him, but no one [ventured and] laid hands on Him.

Are you also deluded and led astray?

John 7:45 Meanwhile the attendants (guards) had gone back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, Why have you not brought Him here with you? 46 The attendants replied, Never has a man talked as this Man talks! [No mere man has ever spoken as He speaks!]

The question I would ask is why should Jesus be arrested?

47 The Pharisees said to them, Are you also deluded and led astray? [Are you also swept off your feet?] 48 Has any of the authorities or of the Pharisees believed in Him?

Wow! We saw this during the pandemic. Many people were asking questions and instead of answering the questions this is what we heard, shut up and do what the experts are telling you to do.

49 As for this multitude (rabble) that does not know the Law, they are contemptible and doomed and accursed!

Whoa! Was Hillary Clinton living back then? Did the Pharisees just call the people deplorable? Irredeemable?

50 Then Nicodemus, who came to Jesus before at night and was one of them, asked, 51 Does our Law convict a man without giving him a hearing and finding out what he has done?


Ouch, the questions just expose what phony hypocrites these rulers are.

52 They answered him, Are you too from Galilee? Search [the Scriptures yourself], and you will see that no prophet comes (will rise to prominence) from Galilee.

Talk about bringing judgment to yourself, "search the scriptures" but don't talk to Jesus and hear from Him first before condemning Him? Does the scripture say anything about the prophet being born in Bethlehem? You know about 30 years ago when 2,000 children were slaughtered because the Magi came to see the new born king?

53 And they went [back], each to his own house.

Examples to all that believe

1Thessalonians 1:7 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.

8 For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.

9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;

10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

All that believe should sound out the word of the Lord
