The only "Tit for Tat" doctrine in the New Testament

1Thessalonians 3:12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: 13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

This is the goal of the ministry in building up the saints and the church. Are we in a spiritual warfare? Yes. But that should not result in bickering, insults, ridicule and mockery. Instead we need our hearts established, unblameable in holiness before God. That will only happen if we increase and abound in love towards one another and toward all men. That is right, towards all men. The New Testament does not say that you fight hate with hate, you respond to hate with love. There is no "tit for tat" doctrine in the New Testament except for "as you have been forgiven so forgive others"

Let us remember, Let us pray

Isaiah 53:1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?

Lord have mercy on us that we would believe the report that your arm would be revealed to us

2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

A root out of dry ground, didn't have any advantages from birth. No comeliness, no one desired Him. Lord have mercy on us that we would see your beauty and desire You.

3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Lord we repent for having hid our face from you, forgive us. We repent for having been with those who despised and rejected You. We pray for mercy that we would esteem you above all others.

4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

Lord we pray for discernment that we would not be so deceived again.

5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Thank you Lord for this medicine, the cure for our sinful condition.

6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Amen Lord, forgive us.

7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

So many today complaining about being oppressed and afflicted. Lord we need this medicine, we need to see the crucified Christ.

8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

Lord you have shown us the path to deal with oppression and unrighteousness and you have given us the strength with your grace and Holy Spirit to walk this path.

9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

Lord, cleanse our tongue that there would be no violence neither deceit in our mouths.

10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

Jesus, give us the revelation that all things work together for good when you have the power of resurrection.

11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

Thank you Lord for your justification.

12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Thank you Lord that you have made us joint heirs with you.

I have created the waster to destroy

Isaiah 54:15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

You will be attacked, ridiculed, mocked, rejected, despised, and not esteemed. You will be oppressed, you will have to bear your cross, but the cross of Christ leads to the resurrection of Christ as well.

16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.

You hear about these guys developing killer weapons, AI, Drones, goggles that see in the dark, that see through walls, and all the various tracking devices. The people who invented these things were created by God! He created them, you think He doesn't know about the little toys they are making? The instruments of war are all fully under the Lord's sovereignty, focus on the Lord and do not worry about the enemy. Don't be ignorant of his devices, but also don't worry about them, in nothing be anxious.

17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.

You are for a testimony of the greatness and goodness of the Lord.

Heaven's Proclamation of the Time Era of the Beast 7-2-23@10:03am Remake

The right to rule over the earth has been returned to the Lord's children. Satan being cast to the earth means he no longer is in heaven, no longer in a position of authority!

The timeline of the beast has been fully activated as of 7/2/23. Don't be a fool and fall for Satan's deceit again, allowing AI to take charge of you. It is a modern day tree of the knowledge of good and evil designed to make you "like" God.

Revelation 22:6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.

This is for anyone having a problem with the angel visitations to Vicky Goforth Parnell.

Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

According to this prophecy this is where we were July 2nd, 2023

Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

It is time to realize we have been made kings, past tense, and we are to exercise that authority on earth today. Not according to the flesh, but through prayer and faith in God's word.

The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought

Psalms 33:8 Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

This is the revelation that we see at the end.

9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

Seeing all the prophesies fulfilled should fill you with awe.

10 The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

So don't fear them, the man to fear is Jesus.

11 The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

Amen Lord, to you be the glory and the honor and the dominion forever and ever, amen.

Psalms 24:1 The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

Pray accordingly. Man was supposed to be a manager appointed by God to manage the earth, Satan deceived man to take the position, but he is simply a manager that must report to the owner, God. You can bring a charge against him just as you could bring a charge against your boss, but be careful, do everything by the book, dot the i's and cross the t's.

Do you trust in your way?

Hosea 6:13 Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.

14 Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.

Do you sow to the Flesh or to the Spirit?

Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Be warned

2Peter 2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

Because great was the fall of that house.

Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Daniel 2:21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

Lord I pray that we would understand your word, and in that understanding give us knowledge and wisdom. Lord I pray we would have eyes to see and ears to hear that you are the one who changes times and seasons and you are the one who removes kings and sets up kings.

22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.

Lord we pray you would reveal the deep and secret things to us. Show us what is in the darkness and show us the light that dwelleth with You.

The Lord will show us His salvation

Psalms 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

We are in a warfare, we need to be in a secret place, we need to hide under the shadow of the almighty.

2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

The name of Jesus, the blood of Jesus and the word of God are all a fortress to us. Make sure you are in, behind and under this protection.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

If you are in the Lord you will be warned, advised or in some other way kept from the snares of the enemy including pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Don't speak your truth or even worse, your opinions. Advance with the word of God in front and behind and you will be protected.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

The Lord knows the enemy, He knows what He is doing, planning, there is no better partner, guide, captain, or intelligence officer than Jesus.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

The Lord is an expert at putting the enemy to an open shame, even if you are outnumbered a thousand to one.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

This life is more exciting than any other life you can imagine.

9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

Obviously, those things do not come into the Lord's dwelling just as the plagues in Egypt didn't come into Goshen.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

Don't forget the angels, I think I have been saved from harm at least three times in my life thanks to them, maybe four. Actually probably five times.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Yep, that was my experience.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.


Forgot about that, I don't think that was from angels, think that was more the power of resurrection.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

On the battlefield the Lord's name is the first and most powerful gift we have.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Think of the seven year tribulation as an opportunity to see the Lord's salvation.

Some observations about the Calendar

Tishri is supposed to be when the Sun is in the Scales, which it is now. That is because the day of Atonement, the day of judgment is Tishri 10. However, the Bible says that false scales are an abomination to God and that is what we are seeing right now with the weaponization of the DOJ. I have made many, many posts on this subject so I will not go into detail here. But it would be interesting if "changing the times and seasons" is a reference to this, where we think that it is Tishri but we are off by a month, hence it is false scales.

We do know that over thousands of years we do see a change in where the Sun is, so this does match what we know from astronomy that the position of the sun relative to the twelve constellations has changed by one constellation.

Also, in Jeremiah it says "the summer is over and we are not saved". In Israel they only have two seasons, summer and winter. So then, I was wondering when summer is over? I was reading something on Halloween and they said the Celtic culture celebrated this holiday as the end of summer and end of the harvest. That makes sense to me, from a farmers perspective summer would end when the harvest ends and we all know that is at the end of October.

Then, I have also heard many prophecies and dreams that when the saints are raptured the fallen angels and demons are cast to earth. That is supported by Revelation 12. So then the day after the rapture sounds like "halloween". Interestingly it starts in the evening just as the Jewish day starts in the evening. The next day is "all saints day" and the day after that is "the day of the dead" both are celebrating those who are in heaven. Sounds like you have two groups that are raptured, the dead in Christ and those who were alive and remain.

What I find interesting about all this is that this year the 30th of October would be the beginning of the Feast of ingathering for the Jews if their calendar is off by a month. Not only so, but the annular eclipse would be marking the Feast of Trumpets and October 15th would be the Feast of Trumpets, which if Israel invades Gaza would be a very big alarm that the end of the age is come. Interestingly they delayed the invasion because of rain, and if you cannot see the new moon you would delay the Feast of Trumpets, hence it is called "the longest day".

Here is what is also interesting, we have made a tremendous amount of Biblical references that point to the feast of ingathering as the feast that is about the rapture. In addition to this we have those verses that indicate the times and seasons will be changed. So this would help for all the pieces to fit together.

But why would we listen to the Celts? How would then know when the demons would be released on earth? Didn't the demons say to the Lord Jesus that it wasn't time for them to be judged? Read the gospels and it is clear the demons and fallen angels know when they are supposed to be released.

The Satanists say this is the biggest day of the year for them. If God has appointed feasts that are a dress rehearsal it would not be strange for Satan to also have dress rehearsals.

Is this the 7 day warning?

Jesus said that His return would be as the days of Noah. Methuselah died, Noah entered the ark and then seven days later the flood started. Methuselah, the oldest man, was a prophecy. His Father, Enoch, said that when he died the end would come. So my thought has been there should be a prophecy that when it is fulfilled is our seven day warning.

I am wondering if it is the prophecy in Isaiah 17 that Damascus will be a ruinous heap. Damascus is one of the oldest cities in the world, that corresponds with Methuselah being the oldest man. The prophecy is that it will be a ruinous heap, that corresponds to Methuselah dying. We know that the world will hate the Great Babylon (the US) and burn her with fire, this could be the event that precipitates that and then leads to Ezekiel 38 and ultimately Armageddon. The muslims are looking for an event that will galvanize 1.8 billion muslims to unite against Israel and this could be it.

So I will look further into this, but just an idea that this event would be a seven day warning.

Then Lot was given a 12 hour warning. In the evening we see a demonic riot outside his house, 12 hours later fire falls and destroys the city. I think a Jihad like demonic attack in the major cities like NYC, Paris, LA, Chicago, etc. would be our 12 hour warning.

The Burden of Damascus

Isaiah 17:1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

3 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the Lord of hosts.

These three places indicate a confederacy between Damascus (Syria), Aroer (Moabites and Ammonites) and Ephraim (the northern ten tribes of Israel). I have shared quite a bit on why I think Ephraim refers to the US. Joseph's two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim signify the double blessing from Science. The older brother, Manasseh would indicate Germany. This blessing moved to the US (the younger brother Ephraim) at the time of WW2. The only ally that Israel has is the US. There are about as many Jews in the US as in Israel. If you look at where they live in the world it seems they are evenly divided between the US and Israel with a few others scattered all over the earth.

What we have just discovered is a very deceitful alliance between the US and Syria. When Biden took office he removed the sanctions on Iran, resulting in them getting over $140 billion in revenue from their oil industry and rebuilding their nuclear research and development. He gave the Taliban $80 billion in weaponry as a "quid pro quo" to China for helping him win the US election. He recently gave Iran another $6 billion in a prisoner swap. Prior to Biden Obama was also very pro Iran and pro Syria. Obviously these actions do not reflect the will of the majority of Americans which support Israel in this war.

Damascus would be tied to both Iran and Hezbollah. Aroer would be tied to Hamas and Ephraim to the US. It seems this prophecy says these three places get wiped out at the same time beginning with Damascus.

This is significant because we have covered in many posts the connection with the destruction of the US as the great Babylon at the start of the tribulation immediately after the rapture. As the common saying "when we go up the bombs come down".

4 And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.

Jacob is a name that means "heel holder" or supplanter, it is the name of the untransformed Israel. You have many of God's people who are in a variety of states of maturity. Some have been transformed to "Israel" just like Simon becoming Peter or Saul becoming Paul. The transformed people of God are "the glory of Jacob" and they are removed in the rapture, hence "the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean". Those who are left behind will go through a very tough time in the tribulation.
