Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

Luke 18:18-43 Blind beggars

18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, even God.

Big trap. When you go to learn karate everyone wants to learn how to punch but the first thing you learn is how to protect yourself from getting punched. You are not standing on your goodness, the minute you do that you open yourself up to attack. I was touched by something Michael Jordan said. He said if he had known in the beginning what he knows now he would never have allowed him to be set up as an example in the “Be like Mike” campaign. They attacked him for going to Atlantic city. He didn’t break any laws. He didn’t violate his team's curfew. His gambling was legal and he paid his debts. What was the basis to attack him? Because he had set himself up as an example to young kids and some parents didn’t like his gambling. You will never succeed in gaining the kingdom based on your goodness. Don’t let anyone call you good. There is none good, only God. I am but a worm and an unprofitable servant. The best I can do is what I am supposed to do.

20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father and mother. 21 And he said, All these things have I observed from my youth up. 22 And when Jesus heard it, he said unto him, One thing thou lackest yet: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. 23 But when he heard these things, he became exceeding sorrowful; for he was very rich.

Many people are worried, how can I have the assurance of salvation. You need a revelation that Jesus is your righteousness. As long as we are depending on our own righteousness we’ll fall short. "Sell what you have" that is what Paul talked about in Philippians where he said he counted everything as dung. All your achievements, all your accolades, all the nice things people say about you is dung. Because if you think that means something then when they attack you, insult you and vilify you that will also have to mean something.

24 And Jesus seeing him said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

How is it that Christians lose all common sense. You sit in a meeting listening to a gang member who committed adultery, stole, killed and lied but who has since repented and been forgiven. He has given up all his money and is following the Lord as a faithful servant called to minister. He isn’t trusting in his righteousness. He has humbled himself, confessed his sins, doesn’t pretend to be good, and the Lord’s grace pours through him. Wake up. As long as you think you are “rich” or “righteous” you will fall short. The difference between you and him is that he is fully aware that he is not entering the kingdom based on his righteousness.

25 For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Much of the kingdom is a matter of threading the needle. To walk the narrow road that few find is to thread that needle. To stand for righteousness but not in your own strength, to return again and again to an unrighteous judge asking him to “do his job” despite his insults is to thread the needle. To be the little seven year old with their hand up, I want to do it even though you make mistake after mistake.

26 And they that heard it said, Then who can be saved? 27 But he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

The point is you can never win this battle unless you are one with God. Rioting and looting is not one with God. To not worry about what men say but to just follow the Lord by faith, that is what it means to be one with God.

28 And Peter said, Lo, we have left our own, and followed thee. 29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake, 30 who shall not receive manifold more in this time, and in the world to come eternal life.

Our life is a time of sowing, we reap in the next age. This is the fundamental issue with the prosperity gospel, they base their “faith” in what they have reaped in this age. That is foolish. The apostles are our examples, they were beaten, imprisoned, stoned, excommunicated and killed.

31 And he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets shall be accomplished unto the Son of man. 32 For he shall be delivered up unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon: 33 and they shall scourge and kill him: and the third day he shall rise again. 34 And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hid from them, and they perceived not the things that were said.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, Jesus is the author of our faith. He was mocked, shamefully treated, spit upon, scourged and killed. Anyone who wants to follow Him needs to also take up their cross. Did you all notice the Lord said "we go up to Jerusalem"? I was always taught that the work the Lord did on the cross was accomplished by Him alone, we had no part in it, and yet here He says "we go up to Jerusalem". I believe that the Lord went to the cross 2,000 years ago and accomplished redemption for us, and that at the end of the age you will see His people as one follow Him and complete that work.

35 And it came to pass, as he drew nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging: 36 and hearing a multitude going by, he inquired what this meant. 37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. 38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. 39 And they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. 40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, 41 What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. 42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole. 43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

Jericho was a cursed city. If these protestors would humble themselves to be one with this blind man then the Lord could heal them so that they could receive their sight. You want to be made whole, well the healing is right here in the word of God. BLM protestors asking for reparations, they are blind beggars.

Luke 19:12-27 Three groups of believers

12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called ten servants of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said unto them, Trade ye herewith till I come. 14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not that this man reign over us.

This story is cut short, in the other gospels it describes beating and killing the servants. The idea is that Luke is written to those that are raptured at the beginning of the age. You will see the beginning of this hatred, but not the full bloom. Mark is written to those who are raptured in the middle of the tribulation and there you will see the more extreme version of this story. Consider this quote for a little more context on “the citizens hating Him”. From George Orwell’s 1984: “Nearly all children nowadays were horrible. What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the Spies they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the discipline of the Party. On the contrary, they adored the Party and everything connected with it… All their ferocity was turned outwards, against the enemies of the State, against foreigners, traitors, saboteurs, thought-criminals. It was almost normal for people over thirty to be frightened of their own children.” We aren’t there yet, but we do hear about “The enemies of the state”, and “traitors, saboteurs, and thought criminals”. Recently Biden and Facebook have both encouraged people to turn in their neighbors and family members. It is not hard for us to imagine them becoming ferocious. Again there is a progression from fearing to speak for the Lord lest they put you out of the synagogue to the time will come when whoever kills you will think they are offering service to God.

15 And it came to pass, when he was come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, unto whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading. 16 And the first came before him, saying, Lord, thy pound hath made ten pounds more. 17 And he said unto him, Well done, thou good servant: because thou wast found faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. 18 And the second came, saying, Thy pound, Lord, hath made five pounds. 19 And he said unto him also, Be thou also over five cities.

I think it is easy enough to understand that the ten pounds represents the gifts that the Lord has given. Some are more gifted than others. The one with 10 talents or 5 talents used those gifts for the glory of God. When the Lord returns at the end of the age they will have a powerful testimony of God’s grace and power. However, they were trading on the Lord’s gifts at a time when other citizens were in full rebellion against Him.

20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I kept laid up in a napkin: 21 for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that which thou layedst not down, and reapest that which thou didst not sow.

This man is not a thief, he didn’t try to steal the talent. He also is not a liar, doesn’t pretend that someone stole it or give some story to explain why there is no interest. On the other hand he doesn’t want to be put out of the synagogue. He is “humpty dumpty”, he is attempting to hedge his bets. We have Christians who are "Jesus freaks" preaching the gospel (like Noah), we have others who are nominal Christians but in reality are in the apostasy (like the Concision), and then we have a third group which are the passive, let's not make waves, Christians (like Lot).

22 He saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up that which I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow; 23 then wherefore gavest thou not my money into the bank, and I at my coming should have required it with interest?

If you are going to invest you have three options. You can start your own business like Bill Gates did, or you can invest in the stock market like Warren Buffet did, or you can simply put the money in the bank. All three are valid options. If you are a ten talented person I think the best option is to start your own business. If you are a five talented person I think the best option is to invest in businesses that others start. If you are a one talented person the best option may be to put the money in the bank. But, if you are the Lord Jesus, your best option is to invest in everything. During this age the Lord has invested in all of us, when He returns that is when He will settle accounts. During an outbreak of “cancel culture” being silent is equivalent to being wicked. He claims to fear the Lord and yet acted in a way that showed He didn’t fear the Lord.

24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take away from him the pound, and give it unto him that hath the ten pounds. 25 And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds. 26 I say unto you, that unto every one that hath shall be given; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him.

This is the secret. Do you think Jobs and Wozniack knew how big Apple would become when they started in the garage? What they knew was that they had something. They invested in what they had and it continued to grow bigger. Do you know why Microsoft became a giant? They bought an operating system from a company that didn’t know what they had and then promised to sell an operating system to IBM based on what they bought. It is a prime example of someone thinking they didn’t have anything and selling what they did have. When you think your little experience or little word or little vision is too small and insignificant you aren’t being humble, you are being wicked. You are insulting the Lord who gave that to you. When you see some little garage operation grow into Google, or Amazon.com or Apple you are seeing the glory and power of God.

27 But these mine enemies, that would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

Right now on the internet there is this huge debate about premillennial rapture, post millennial rapture, etc. Look, the Lord here is dividing the believers into three groups. Those that start ministries, those that invest in ministries, and those that hide what they have been given. If you are actively involved in ministry whether as the minister or someone contributing to that ministry you have a very good chance to get a “well done” at the Lord’s return. If you have been hiding what the Lord has given you will likely get a rebuke as a wicked servant. You aren’t an enemy, you aren’t going to be slain, but there will be no reward for you when the Lord returns. Since we have these three groups why would they all be raptured together? I would compare the pre millennial rapture to Gideon’s army which only had 300. They go up to heaven and kick Satan out. Throughout the Bible we see that God’s people are not all lumped into the same category and do not all receive the same judgement.

Free Masons -- Understand as irrational animals do and that will destroy them

Jude 10 Yet these people slander whatever they do not understand, and the very things they do understand by instinct—as irrational animals do—will destroy them.

Recently it has become clear that many of our world leaders, namely Obama, Biden and Harris, are Free Masons. This is a religion that teaches you are free from sin in the same way a rattlesnake is free from sin. The snake is a killer by nature, therefore it is not sin for it to kill. They understand that they are “irrational animals” hence for them to act accordingly is not sin. This is why they slander the Bible because it says that homosexual sex is sin, or that transgenderism is sin, or that murder is sin.

So why is this “irrational” since it appears to be hyper rational. A Christian will throw off every weight and encumbrance of sin in order to run the race. These ones are also running the race but they throw off the guilt of sin. But here is the major flaw, the irrationality that will destroy them. Free Masons take an oath to never testify against another Free Mason. The oath even says they would choose perjury over convicting another Free Mason of sin. So the very same religion that teaches you are “free” to do anything you wish that will make you feel good or help you advance says there is an exception and that exception is to to tell the truth concerning another Free Mason. This is like telling a snake you can bite anything you please except for me. So you bite people because it is your nature, therefore you are free from sin and yet I admit you have the power to choose who to bite and who not to. The second really big problem with this is that Free Masons are a secret society, so it is very possible a Free Mason could be on trial for a crime and the jury and judge would not know they are a Free Mason. Therefore they have hand signals they make to let other Free Mason’s know who they are. But those signals can be read by anyone which defeats the whole “secret society” gambit.

Right now we are seeing hundreds of people involved in the pedophile rings and trafficking of children being arrested. They then "flip" and testify against others, after all, they are rats by nature and that is what rats do.

So look at what Jude says: and the very things they do understand by instinct—as irrational animals do—will destroy them.

Luke 19:28-48 Separating the wheat from the chaff

28 And when he had thus spoken, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem. 29 And it came to pass, when he drew nigh unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples, 30 saying, Go your way into the village over against you; in which as ye enter ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat: loose him, and bring him. 31 And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say, The Lord hath need of him. 32 And they that were sent went away, and found even as he had said unto them. 33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? 34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him. 35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they threw their garments upon the colt, and set Jesus thereon.

He just gave us a parable about three different servants. This colt is also a “servant” but one on which “no man ever yet sat”. I have heard from those that raise horses that it is generally not an easy thing to ride a colt on which no man ever sat. But what I get from this is that each one of us has our place in God’s kingdom. This colt doesn’t really fit into one of the three groups that Jesus already shared, so it is the other side of the coin. On one hand we have those who have ten talents, those with five talents and those with one. On the other hand the Lord has cattle on a thousand hills and He knows each one and has a purpose for each.

36 And as he went, they spread their garments in the way. 37 And as he was now drawing nigh, even at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen; 38 saying, Blessed is the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. 39 And some of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples. 40 And he answered and said, I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.

I heard something that someone shared on a Youtube video. He said at the end of the age you see the angels separate out the wheat from the chaff and throw the chaff into the fire but they gather the wheat into the barns. Right now we are seeing a separation. The streets are filled with hate, riots, looting and killing. It is like the chaff is being separated out. The way they separate out the chaff is to take a big shovel full of the wheat and throw it in the air. The wind blows the chaff away. Right now the media, Youtube, and social media are acting like the wind. You see the chaff being driven by the wind into protests full of fire. Meanwhile the wheat is also being separated out. This is where the sound of praise is. People crying out peace in heaven and glory in the highest. You can also see this on Youtube, on social media, and on church broadcasts.

41 And when he drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over it, 42 saying, If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 43 For the days shall come upon thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, 44 and shall dash thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

“The city” refers to Jerusalem. Jesus is drawing nigh to Jerusalem. This peace treaty that is about to be signed by the many is a very powerful indication that Jesus is drawing nigh to the city. The stolen election, the blatant fraud, the pushing of a radical Sodom and Gomorrah policy, this is all evidence that Jesus is drawing nigh and the demons are going nuts.

45 And he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold, 46 saying unto them, It is written, And my house shall be a house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of robbers.

There will be many in the “church” that will be rebuked. They have turned the Lord’s house into a den of robbers. Probably the clearest example is that of the pedophile priests in the Catholic church. About 6% of all priests were pedophiles. Instead of dealing strictly with them the Catholic leadership moved them around, trying to sweep this under the rug. They convinced victims to settle for a pittance plus an apology from the Bishop. Everything was done outside of the courts, sealed away from public scrutiny. Why did they do this? Well it appears that about 50% of priests were involved in sexual relationships, mostly with other consenting adults. Since they were supposed to have a vow of chastity it would be embarrassing to them if this were revealed and they would have been defrocked. No one ratted anyone out because they were all afraid of being exposed. This is how it becomes a den of robbers, everyone has something to hide. I have heard of 5 megachurch pastors who were involved in child trafficking and have since been convicted of their crimes in military tribunals. They "stepped down from ministry" because it is much more unsettling to criminals to see accomplices disappear without knowing who, what, when or why.

47 And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him: 48 and they could not find what they might do; for the people all hung upon him, listening.

You can be sure that if you share these things that there are those in the shadows that are seeking to destroy you. Jesus going up to Jerusalem has “become personal”. The chief priests and scribes want to destroy Him and He is going to destroy them and put them to an open shame. Stick close to Jesus, stay in His wake, it will be those who hesitate that get picked off.

Joshua 2 -- Time to cut a deal

1 And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there.

This book gives us the battle plan. The first place we come to is a cursed city, a walled city, and when we spy this out we come to a harlot’s house. A harlot is a person who is for sale. Right now it has become abundantly clear that many of our politicians are for sale. The Hunter Biden laptop and Anthony Weiner laptop is merely the tip of this iceberg. The difficulty we are seeing in having our elected officials deal with the obvious cases of voter fraud is further evidence that they have sold themselves. We now have a Chinese spy who has defected and has the names of every government official working with China. There have already been over 700 arrests.

2 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the country. 3 And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all the country.

Yes, right now we are searching out the entire country for their corruption and sin.

4 And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they were: 5 And it came to pass about the time of shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them. 6 But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.

I went to six of these protests concerning this election and you can see a lot of the focus is on the elected officials. There are calls to “primary them” or to vote them out of office, or to prosecute them. What we need to realize is that some of these officials, these “harlots” are courageous. They are doing the right thing but they are not fools.

7 And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate. 8 And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof; 9 And she said unto the men, I know that the Lord hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.

It is so obvious that they are terrified and faint. Their ratings are plummeting but they are silent because they don’t know what to do about it. They have tried to steer people away from these stories with their algorithms or to censor the stories and that has only blown up in their face. It has caused a stampede to sites like Rumble. They can’t control the story, they can’t censor it, they can’t deny it, and they can’t ignore it with thousands of emails and phone calls every day to the representatives and with the protestors on the street.

10 For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.

This country has had a history of conquering tyrannical rulers. We defeated King George in the Revolutionary war when the British were the superpower of the day and we defeated Germany and Japan during WWII. This is a constant refrain from the protestors, some are calling this 1775, others are pointing to their military service to uphold democracy. Arizona audit is a major victory. The convictions of hundreds of criminals in these military tribunals is a victory.

11 And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the Lord your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.

The protestors are people of faith. They sing hymns, they pray prayers, they quote scripture. Their heart has melted.

12 Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the Lord, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my father's house, and give me a true token: 13 And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.

A week ago Giuliani said he had 234 affidavits. A week later he said he had over 1,000 affidavits. People are cutting deals, they are lawyering up and exchanging immunity for their testimony. Last I heard he has over 5,000 affidavits.

14 And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the Lord hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee. 15 Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall. 16 And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.

These things take time, and we are seeing that those who do testify have to hide their identity because they receive a whole host of threats against themselves and their family and because the media will viciously attack and defame anyone who does come forward.

17 And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear. 18 Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee. 19 And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.

No double crossing or back stabbing.

20 And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear. 21 And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.

This is the problem that these crooks and thieves have. Yes, these government officials are “harlots” but some of them are also people with a conscience and they can see how this war is going to go. How do you win, you are trapped in your little city. They can only operate in the dark, what happens when the spotlight is on them?

22 And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not. 23 So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all things that befell them: 24 And they said unto Joshua, Truly the Lord hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.

Every single day the story gets bigger, the evidence grows, the hearings are public, and everyone accused of criminal behavior has fainted. Where are they? Why haven’t they denied the charges? Why are they not refuting the allegations of fraud and misconduct? There are stories out that Pelosi has already been arrested, convicted and executed. Trump was making a big deal that the other day "Pelosi" had a mask on that went from her forehead all the way to her chin. He was insinuating that it wasn't Pelosi, it was an actor. The story is all over the internet, all she would have to do if it were false is make a small press conference about anything. Bezos has just stepped down from running Amazon.com, that is stunning. Robert Downey Jr. just unfriended all his fellow actors, is this because they wanted to distance themselves from him (he was on the Lolita express).

They're Back!

Luke 11:24 The unclean spirit when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and finding none, he saith, I will turn back unto my house whence I came out. 25 And when he is come, he findeth it swept and garnished. 26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more evil than himself; and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first.

We are seeing this play out right now. Over the last 4 years we kicked out a whole lot of unclean spirits from our country, and our country was swept and garnished. Economy performed better than ever, especially in the inner city and among minorities. But now what is happening? The border is thrown open and it is not simply refugees coming across, the refugees present themselves to the authorities, they have nothing to fear and will be shipped around the country. No, we have had 250,000 "got aways" these are criminals who cannot show up to the authorities because we have their fingerprints and mugshots. They have come back with all of their friends just like the Lord said.

What you heard for the previous 4 years were the demons and evil spirits crying and screaming about being kicked out of the country. Well, "they're back"! And it will be seven fold worse than it was.

Daniel 5:1-6 -- The writing on the wall

1 King Belshazzar gave a great banquet for a thousand of his nobles and drank wine with them.2 While Belshazzar was drinking his wine, he gave orders to bring in the gold and silver goblets that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken from the temple in Jerusalem, so that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines might drink from them.3 So they brought in the gold goblets that had been taken from the temple of God in Jerusalem, and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines drank from them. 4 As they drank the wine, they praised the gods of gold and silver, of bronze, iron, wood and stone.

This is an act of blasphemy against God. However, I doubt this is the only act of blasphemy, rather I suspect this was the final straw. Everyone is quite animated with this election year, the things that President Trump has done has motivated everyone. People feel vehemently one way or the other concerning him. He has said some very offensive things. For example he recently claimed that mail in ballots would not be secure and would be subject to fraud. Wow, what a reaction that brought. Fraud is incredibly rare. Now they are very specific when they say that. What is incredibly rare is a person trying to vote twice. But election fraud in this country, rare? That is an insult to our intelligence. In 1948 we had the box 13 scandal where Lyndon Johnson stole that election. JFK won his election over Nixon because he won Illinois, and Texas. Both of these were razor thin margins and the feeling is that dirty tricks by Daley and LBJ’s apparatus made the difference. Then of course JFK was assassinated and the American people were force fed the “Oswald is a lone gunman” even though it was laughable. During the Watergate investigation with Nixon one of his operatives outlined all the dirty tricks that he used but seemed to feel that what he was doing wasn’t all that bad as “everyone does this”. Reagan beat Carter in his first term because of the oil embargo. It was the 70s and it seemed the world was running out of oil. What happened to that? The whole thing was a lie. Kissinger working with OPEC had different refineries shut down to make it appear there was a shortage of oil. They were willing to shoot the US economy in the foot to undermine Carter. In 2000 we had the debacle in Florida with Bush and Gore. It is very important that US elections appear fair and free but anyone who has been paying attention knows they aren’t. They know in key swing states there are ridiculously long lines at inner city polling stations. In other countries election day is a vacation, not in the US. So this is how they lie to you. In a tight election it will all hinge on one or two states. You don’t need to have fraud in 48 states, so right away if you say that 96% of the elections are free and fair that is true, even if there is fraud in every single election. Then even in a state like Florida you don’t need to do anything about 96% of the vote. If the election is tight less than 1% will swing it one way or the other. The Box 13 scandal involved 200 votes, that is all it took. So I can tell you that 99.9% of votes are not fraudulent, so what, it is that 0.1% that swings the vote. So the point is not to debate each and every election as to whether or not there was fraud, the point is that election fraud can be exceedingly rare and at the same time extremely common. It can be rare that any one vote is fraudulent but at the same time very common that election fraud takes place, even “everybody does it”. So a month ago the Democrats were telling everybody that you don’t need to worry, election fraud is very rare, and then a month later they are screaming that this election will be stolen by fraud. Which is it? If you tell me you are worried about election fraud this election I fully agree with you. But shouldn’t the Democrats apologize for saying not to worry? In my opinion the election fraud we have seen over the last 72 years is like seeing little termites run around. This year it will be like falling through the floor and discovering your whole house has been eaten up by termites.

5 Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. The king watched the hand as it wrote. 6 His face turned pale and he was so frightened that his legs became weak and his knees were knocking.

This is some scary stuff. Imagine fires so bad that people have to evacuate the state of California. Imagine the smoke is so bad half the country is choking. Imagine a horrific famine that results from the floods, rats, and locusts in China. Imagine a pandemic that continues to grow and spread around the world. Imagine the US economy tanking and the US dollar suffering massive inflation. That is a scary thought. You might say “the writing is on the wall”, but what does it all mean?

Now imagine that during all of these events the world leaders are partying and carousing because they were able to steal an election and now were printing money like a counterfeiter trying to stock up for the winter. They are acting extremely blasphemous towards God and His vessels of mercy. Then what happens, we see a hand, not a person but just the hand posting up on the wall, or in this case, the internet, that Bill Clinton was found guilty in a tribunal, Hillary Clinton has been found guilty, Nancy Pelosi has been found guilty, Bill Barr, 32 Governors, John Podesta, and the list goes on and on. Over 700 people in the US and Europe have been arrested. Flights to Gitmo have increased 900%. Now that is some terrifying stuff. Why did Bezos step down? Where is Tom Hanks? Where are all these people accused of treason and pedophilia? This is being posted on the internet but there is no response, they have turned pale, their legs are weak, their knees are knocking.

These arrogant, blasphemous people had built guillotines on which to kill their enemies similar to what Haman did in the book of Esther and apparently they are being sentenced to death on these same guillotines. Donald Trump recently mocked them saying Pelosi was wearing a mask to cover her entire face. All Pelosi has to do is come forward, take her mask off and point out how ridiculous this is, unless of course she can't.

Many of those posting these things are very close to Christians, they are close to the lampstand.

We will be going door to door to check if you have been vaccinated.

How quickly the unthinkable becomes real.

2017 Beginning of the "ten days of Awe".

The Prophecies of Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel (1140 – 1217)

“When the Ottoman (Turks) conquer Jerusalem (which they did in 1517, 300 years after his prophecy), they will rule over Jerusalem for eight jubilees (400 year s [Jubilee years are celebrated every 50 years], and they did exactly that, ruling Jerusalem through 1917). Afterwards, Jerusalem will become a no-man’s land for one Jubilee, and then in the ninth Jubilee, it will once again come back into the possession of the Jewish nation (which is exactly what happened, even the strip of land dividing Israel’s West Jerusalem and Jordanian controlled East Jerusalem was referred to as “no man’s land,” until Jerusalem was taken by Israel during the Six Day War in 1967) – which would signify the beginning of the Messianic end time.”

The 9th jubilee would have concluded and the tenth Jubilee begun in 2017.

Not only so but we had the great Revelation 12 sign on the Feast of Trumpets in 2017 signaling the beginning of the ten days of Awe.

This took place on the Feast of Trumpets during a Jubilee year, which is the 10th day of the 7th month. 3 1/2 years later by Jewish reckoning is 1260 days (360 day prophetic year) and that would be the 10th day of the 1st month, or April 20, 2021. Daniel said blessed is he that makes it to the 1335th day, that would be 75 days later, but again based on 30 day months, so 2 1/2 months later. That would be the 25th day of the 3rd month. that would be July 5th, 2021.

We need to understand signs, everyone uses the analogy of a road sign but I don't like that, it isn't Biblical. Instead I like two different Biblical signs. First, God tells us the first month takes place on a new moon when it is in Abib. This phrase refers to a star called Spica which means sheaf and is part of the constellation virgo. When the sun rises Spica can be seen sinking below the horizon. At sunrise you can see both the sun and the star. This is a sign that the year is beginning and is also a sign of the firstfruits of barley. However, you won't get that first sheaf of barley for another two weeks. So just like a road sign, this sign tells you what is coming up immediately. The other sign is the one the Lord referred to, when you see the Fig tree put forth her leaves you know that Summer is near, at the door. The fig tree puts forth leaves in the Spring time, but it is a sign of how near summer is. So the Lord said "this generation shall in no wise pass away". So it is a sign to "this generation" not that the Lord is returning that day, but is returning during this generation which in the context of human history is very near.

In the same way this Revelation 12 sign is a sign of what is very near, not that the woman is already pregnant but that this is on the immediate horizon. Using the above calculation of 1335 days from the Revelation sign bringing us to the 25th day of Sivan (approximately July 5th) we could ask if this is when the woman is giving birth what happened 42 weeks earlier, and that was when the Abrahamic accord was signed.

So then what would we be arriving at on July 5th? Well the best type of the rapture is in Exodus where they come to Mount Sinai and they are told to prepare themselves for the Lord will descend on the third day.

Daniel 5:7-23 They have set themselves up against the Lord

7 The king summoned the enchanters, astrologers and diviners. Then he said to these wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this writing and tells me what it means will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around his neck, and he will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.” 8 Then all the king’s wise men came in, but they could not read the writing or tell the king what it meant. 9 So King Belshazzar became even more terrified and his face grew more pale. His nobles were baffled. 10 The queen, hearing the voices of the king and his nobles, came into the banquet hall. “May the king live forever!” she said. “Don’t be alarmed! Don’t look so pale! 11 There is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods in him. In the time of your father he was found to have insight and intelligence and wisdom like that of the gods. Your father, King Nebuchadnezzar, appointed him chief of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers and diviners. 12 He did this because Daniel, whom the king called Belteshazzar, was found to have a keen mind and knowledge and understanding, and also the ability to interpret dreams, explain riddles and solve difficult problems. Call for Daniel, and he will tell you what the writing means.” 13 So Daniel was brought before the king, and the king said to him, “Are you Daniel, one of the exiles my father the king brought from Judah? 14 I have heard that the spirit of the gods is in you and that you have insight, intelligence and outstanding wisdom. 15 The wise men and enchanters were brought before me to read this writing and tell me what it means, but they could not explain it. 16 Now I have heard that you are able to give interpretations and to solve difficult problems. If you can read this writing and tell me what it means, you will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around your neck, and you will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.” 17 Then Daniel answered the king, “You may keep your gifts for yourself and give your rewards to someone else. Nevertheless, I will read the writing for the king and tell him what it means. 18 “Your Majesty, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar sovereignty and greatness and glory and splendor. 19 Because of the high position he gave him, all the nations and peoples of every language dreaded and feared him. Those the king wanted to put to death, he put to death; those he wanted to spare, he spared; those he wanted to promote, he promoted; and those he wanted to humble, he humbled. 20 But when his heart became arrogant and hardened with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and stripped of his glory. 21 He was driven away from people and given the mind of an animal; he lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like the ox; and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he acknowledged that the Most High God is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and sets over them anyone he wishes.

The US used to be a great superpower, they had glory and splendor. All the other nations respected and feared us. But we have become arrogant.

22 “But you, Belshazzar, his son, have not humble yourself, though you knew all this. 23 Instead, you have set yourself up against the Lord of heaven.

This is true. Listen to Ron Reagan do commercials for atheists saying he isn’t afraid of burning in hell. He is probably the only one in California who isn’t. The abortion issue is clearly a case of setting your kingdom up against the Lord of heaven. In China they passed laws that clearly set themselves up against the Lord of heaven. After the pandemic if a church wanted to reopen they needed to hang the picture of the leader of China in the Sanctuary, they needed to sing the national anthem and they changed Bible verses to praise the CCP. In Belarus it is the only dictator left. Protests in Belarus, Hong Kong, Beirut, Portland all point to the fact that they have set themselves up against the Lord of heaven.

You had the goblets from his temple brought to you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand.

Money and the stock market are the gods of silver and gold. War and military might are the gods of bronze and iron. The monuments built by man are the gods of wood and stone. The house of congress is called "the temple of democracy" but has become the temple of Baal worshipping idols.

But you did not honor the God who holds in his hand your life and all your ways.

One thing is undeniable, these rulers are not honoring God. I watched an interview with Kamala Harris where they asked her if she smoked pot. She laughed, her father and half her family are from Jamaica, of course she smoked pot. The next day her father is interviewed, a very dignified professor, and he was disgusted with what she said, saying she was perpetrating ugly stereotypes. He totally repudiated any suggestion that what she said was true. Think how incredible this is. Her father publicly rebukes her even though it might hurt her chances of being elected. Think of the hypocrisy, what is the entire Black Lives Matter movement about if it isn’t claiming that Blacks need to be treated with dignity and respect. She claims she is for BLM yet she is pushing insulting stereotypes of blacks as potheads rather than dignified professionals. What about Nancy Pelosi, railing about Trump not wearing a mask, not mandating a shutdown, and then she is seen not wearing a mask in the hair dresser. She violated the law, and in California a state that has the worst case of the pandemic in the US. She then claimed she was tricked and didn’t know the law, this is the third most powerful person in the US and represents the people of San Francisco and she doesn’t know the law? Then she destroyed the hairdresser saying she was set up and caused her to be swamped with threats so that she had to close and move her business. Bill Clinton went to pedophile island that belonged to Epstein, and then when Epstein is in jail he mysteriously dies, not the first mysterious death to help Clinton.

Daniel 5:24 -31 Your Kingdom is given to the Medes and Persians

24 Therefore he sent the hand that wrote the inscription. 25 “This is the inscription that was written: mene, mene, tekel, parsin 26 “Here is what these words mean: Mene: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end. 27 Tekel: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting. 28 Peres: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.”

What we see today is quite similar. The US is divided. It is easy to see that the days of the US are numbered. It is also easy to see that the leaders of this country have been weighed in the scales and found wanting. The UN is dominated by two factions, an Islamic faction, and an Asian faction. If the US position of superpower were replaced today by the UN it would be by those two factions.

29 Then at Belshazzar’s command, Daniel was clothed in purple, a gold chain was placed around his neck,and he was proclaimed the third highest ruler in the kingdom. 30 That very night Belshazzar, king of the Babylonians, was slain, 31 and Darius the Mede took over the kingdom, at the age of sixty-two.

There have been prophetic dreams that California fires will be so bad that they have to evacuate the state on 9/11. Know this that evacuating on that day is not a coincidence. It is the writing on the wall. In my opinion 9/11 was the greatest crime committed by these blasphemous leaders in the US. It is ridiculous to claim that Al Qaeda did it. That crime set in motion many others leading us to this point. The pandemic has taken 9/11 to a whole new level. You have a virus created in a lab that targets the elderly (the average age of those who have died from Covid19 is greater than the average life expectancy). It is a virus designed to exterminate the elderly. Then we had political leaders like Andrew Cuomo who maximized this impact by sending sick people into nursing homes. Fauci financed this research and then did everything he could to obfuscate and delay our understanding of it costing more lives. They prohibited the use of effective treatments. Now they are mandating a vaccine which is more dangerous to many people than the disease. Meanwhile they use the pandemic as an excuse to bankrupt the middle class causing the tech giants to rake in a fortune. Our profligate Biden administration has hooked a vacuum cleaner up to the Fed and is vacuuming up dollars at an astounding rate, trillions and trillions of dollars. This “great banquet” is the final straw.

Do not be surprised to see the Demons possessing people

Luke 4:33, 35 And in the synagogue there was a man, that had a spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice,...35And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst, he came out of him, having done him no hurt.

Luke 4:41 And demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying, Thou art the Son of God. And rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

Luke 9:1 And he called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

Luke 10:17 And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject unto us in thy name.

Luke 11:19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. 20 But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then is the kingdom of God come upon you.

Today we see the kingdom of God come upon us, therefore it should be no surprise to anyone if we also see the sons of the kingdom casting out demons.

Luke 20:1-8 Some Black belt level stuff

1 One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the good news, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, together with the elders, came up to him. 2 “Tell us by what authority you are doing these things,” they said. “Who gave you this authority?”

Great question. If a cop comes up to you they need to show you their badge, that tells you by what authority they are acting as a cop. Teachers also have to be certified. We go through a lot of different tests. We get fingerprinted and there are a number of required professional developments that we must have. We even do the same thing with people who teach the Bible, they go to seminary and get a degree. Apparently the Chief priests had discovered a major weakness in Jesus, He hadn’t been certified to teach the people the Bible.

3 He replied, “I will also ask you a question.

Great response, need to learn this little trick.

Tell me: 4 John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or of human origin?”

Oh snap! The chief priests certification was from man. The thing that made them so proud,

walking around in flowing robes, being greeted with respect in the marketplaces and having the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

That certification came from man. But when Jesus was baptized

John 1:32 And John bore witness, saying, I beheld the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him. 33 And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptise with water, *he* said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is who baptises with [the] Holy Spirit 34 And I have seen and borne witness that this is the Son of God.

Jesus’ certification to preach took place at that Baptism. Was it from heaven or from man?

Luke 3:21 And it came to pass, all the people having been baptised, and Jesus having been baptised and praying, that the heaven was opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form as a dove upon him; and a voice came out of heaven, *Thou* art my beloved Son, in thee I have found my delight.

It is a great question, you should ask this of everyone that wants to represent God. If someone wants to tell you that they are speaking the words of God to you, then by all means find out by what authority they are making this claim.

5 They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’ 6 But if we say, ‘Of human origin,’ all the people will stone us, because they are persuaded that John was a prophet.” 7 So they answered, “We don’t know where it was from.”

How slimy. This is the perfect illustration of the difference between someone who is really seeking and someone who absolutely refuses to hear God’s word. They weren’t asking the question because they wanted to learn something. This is what is known as a “gotcha question”. It probably works on many people, but when you do this to Jesus you are the one that is exposed. If you speak the word of God from the Bible they will do the same thing. They are afraid to deny that the Bible is the word of God because the people are all persuaded that it is, but they refuse to obey the Bible so instead they claim ignorance.

8 Jesus said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

This is some Black belt level stuff right here. Learn from Jesus. Imitate Him.

Luke 20:19-47 Those who misaim and those who have missed the mark

19 The teachers of the law and the chief priests looked for a way to arrest him immediately, because they knew he had spoken this parable against them. But they were afraid of the people. 20 Keeping a close watch on him, they sent spies, who pretended to be sincere. They hoped to catch Jesus in something he said, so that they might hand him over to the power and authority of the governor.

We are not ignorant of Satan’s devices, that is of course if you read the Bible and the fellowship of the apostles.

21 So the spies questioned him: “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not show partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.

Beware of those that lay it on thick like this.

22 Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

This is a “wedge issue”. A question designed to divide. Think about today with the Black Lives Movement. There are those that are crying to defund the police, there are others that think that would be catastrophic. All of this attack about "white supremacy" is a wedge issue. The country is basically 50% white and 50% non white so there is big effort to "divide and conquer". Charles Barkley was brutally honest the other day saying he thinks this is politicians trying to divide us so that they can stay in power. The Lord, preaching righteousness was a threat to their political power just as the church preaching righteousness is a threat today.

23 He saw through their duplicity and said to them, 24 “Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they replied. 25 He said to them, “Then give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

Man has been made in the image of God. We should have God’s laws inscribed on our heart. This is what the Lord will be looking for when He returns. Everyone in the whole debate to defund or not defund has missed the boat. There has not been a righteous, just and trustworthy government for the last two thousand years. Both sides of this debate are condemned. If you see the injustice of our government that is great, that should turn you to realize we need the Lord Jesus to return and set up His kingdom. Everything we have tried to do has failed. Recently there has been a big brush up over Juneteenth versus July 4th with some claiming July 4th is not their independence day and others claiming this is the best country in the world. They are both true, they are both making a case for repenting and turning to the Lord.

26 They were unable to trap him in what he had said there in public. And astonished by his answer, they became silent.

Once again, learn from Jesus. He isn’t crying about the “lame stream media” or their “gotcha questions”. Their gotcha questions prove that He is ready to rule. If you don’t have authority over the “lame stream media” how can we trust you to have real authority?

27 Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus with a question. 28 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died childless. 30 The second 31 and then the third married her, and in the same way the seven died, leaving no children. 32 Finally, the woman died too. 33 Now then, at the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?” 34 Jesus replied, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage, 36 and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children, since they are children of the resurrection. 37 But in the account of the burning bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ 38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”

If you don’t believe in the resurrection of the dead then you don’t have any authority to teach the law of Moses. You can’t claim that these laws were given by God and that you are sitting in Moses seat. By what authority did Moses do these things? He was sent by God at the burning bush. If you deny the resurrection of the dead you are denying the authority of Moses and therefore the authority you have from sitting in Moses' seat. Likewise with the rapture, we have a sect of Christians who deny that truth. We have a sect of Christians like the Herodians who have completely sold out to the Romans to be their puppets.

39 Some of the teachers of the law responded, “Well said, teacher!” 40 And no one dared to ask him any more questions. 41 Then Jesus said to them, “Why is it said that the Messiah is the son of David? 42 David himself declares in the Book of Psalms: “‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand 43 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’ 44 David calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?”

Jesus has already silenced the gotcha questions of the lame stream media, this isn’t for them, it is for the teachers who say “well said”. Many people are willing to admit that Jesus was a great teacher, a great prophet, who has had a profound impact on human society. But do you see He isn’t simply a great man, He is the Son of God?

45 While all the people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples, 46 “Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.47 They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”

Jesus has already demolished the authority by which they speak. But what really exposes them is that they devour widows’ houses. You could never rally the entire country to go fight in Vietnam or Iraq without the chief priests and teachers of the law standing with these rulers. You couldn’t get away with the mortgage crisis and saying the banks are too big to fail without the assistance of the chief priests and teachers of the law. Our rulers have been devouring widow’s houses. It is not unrealistic to think the people don’t understand what happened, but the shepherds are supposed to protect the sheep from the wolves. Are the prayers real or just for show? If you are a pretend shepherd you will be punished severely.

It may be time to bring in the 2nd String

Let's consider where we are today and what we have accomplished in this battle for a city that is set up on a hill as a light to all the nations.

Arizona will announce their results shortly from the first stage of the audit, they will announce significant fraud which will require that the election be decertified for Biden at the least and will most likely lead to them certifying it for Trump or else holding a special election.

Meanwhile Georgia is well on the way to doing the same thing and not only decertifying Biden's win but also flipping at least one Senate seat which will flip the Senate from Democrat to Republican control.

Add to that Pennsylvania has also announced a full forensic audit and the fraud there is so brazen that it is plain to see how that will turn out.

When these three audits flip both the Presidency and the Senate it will provoke every state in the US to conduct their own forensic audit.

You will discover widespread and massive fraud through this.

Not only so but a Chinese spy has defected and provided the US with the 20 year plan of the CCP to steal the US election. Many more people will be found guilty as a result of this, and their crime will be treason.

Not only so but on the same day Trump announces a class action lawsuit against the tech giants for working with the election fraud to censor and deplatform people, as well as censoring information about HCQ which caused many to die, and working with child traffickers to exploit children for sex.

You can be sure that the intelligence gathered in the last 8 months from military intelligence as well as the 800+ tribunals they have had concerning pedophile rings and treason gives them plenty of evidence to convict and win the lawsuit which could be worth $1 trillion. You can also be sure that within these companies there are already people contacting their lawyers to cut a deal.

If the Lord raptures the deplorables tomorrow I hope those Christians who are left behind will learn from this. They were mocked, ridiculed, persecuted and treated abusively yet they set their face like flint to bring down these crooks. Stop being passive, hoping that "can't we all just get along". Stand up for the truth and be a preacher of righteousness.

Luke 21:1-11 -- Using the Pandemic for a power grab

1 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. 2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. 3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: 4 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

Our life can be a living sacrifice that is acceptable to the Lord. So many are very concerned about how that is going to be judged. Here the Lord makes it clear He doesn’t look at your gift in terms of how many dollars it is worth, but rather how much of your living it is worth. The rich man that gave out of his abundance didn’t give any of his living, whereas the poor woman who gave out of her poverty gave all of her living. That is how we will be judged. You can’t fake that.

5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, 6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

Imagine a rich person gave money for a wing of a hospital to be built with his name on it. He may feel how great this building and its gifts are, and yet with wars and riots and natural disasters it could be that not one stone is left upon another. So there you are appearing before the Lord at His judgement seat and your life’s work has gone up in smoke. So the Lord is not judging the money but the living that was sacrificed. He also isn’t looking at the buildings you built but the people who were built up by you. Those people will also be standing at the judgement seat of Christ.

7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? 8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. 9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.

So how are we going to “not be deceived”? First of all you need to realize there is a purpose for the wars and commotions. They need to come to pass. Jesus said that the meek will inherit the earth, but how do we know that is true? Therefore Caesar Nero tested this, Napoleon tested this, Hitler tested this. It is necessary for these wars to take place because it is the test that proves God’s word is true. What about the commotions? You can read Gandhi and see what Bible verses he based his protests on and his non violent resistance. But not everyone is persuaded, so you need to have the commotions of the Black Panthers and ANTIFA and the looters and rioters to prove that all the treasures of wisdom are hidden in God’s word. In Daniel we see that the three guys with Daniel refused to worship the Golden idol, but by throwing them into the furnace of fire Nebuchadnezzar was able to see and be converted. Likewise Darius threw Daniel into the lion's den because he prayed to God. Delivering Daniel from the Lion's den is how Darius was able to believe.

But this is a sign of the Lord's coming, it is the apostasy. The falling away is also the setting yourself up as something. Recently Senator Warnock said that we could save ourselves and that the meaning of Easter is more transcendent than Jesus Christ. Easter is a pagan holiday, you would think a pastor would refer to resurrection day or the crucifixion, rather than "Easter". His tweet sounded good, a commitment to helping others we can save ourselves, but it denies the Lord who bought us. It is by definition a false prophet. According to the book of Revelation this would be the White Horse of the Apocalypse. The apostasy is a false gospel, and as Paul said it isn't even a gospel. Imagine telling someone who is drowning that he can save himself. This is a way to justify yourself while others drown, it is their own fault.

10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

We have had many different people all with their theory on how to raise a great empire. They have all come and gone. Alexander the Great, the Egyptian Pharaohs, the Roman Empire, this is necessary to test their wisdom and knowledge against God’s word. It is amazing how often an apostasy, some false doctrine, accompanies major wars in history. Rulers have to manipulate people into going to war with these false doctrines. World War II, The Vietnam War and the Gulf Wars were all started with false flag operations designed to manipulate the people to go to war. Right now the mainstream media in the US is acting as the "apostasy" to lead people astray into a race war. When corrupt rulers are exposed they do this to distract the populace. January 6 is a modern example of an FBI operation designed as a false flag so they could accuse MAGA of being dangerous. Don't question the powers that be or they will throw you into solitary confinement for trespassing. Better to have them fighting against each other than to be united in fighting against the leaders. They are particularly focused on any force that can unify and organize against their corrupt regime, hence the attack on the church. This is the Red horse of the apocalypse.

11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

The earthquakes reveal the inner workings of the earth. The famines have really helped us to understand how to best cultivate the land. The pestilences have taught us a lot about healthy practices and the need for sanitation. Before we can rule and reign on this earth we need to learn from all these things, they are all necessary, they all need to come to pass before we can be fully prepared to meet the Lord. Famines and pestilences refer to the Black Horse and the Grey horse of the apocalypse. Famine and pestilence often follow war. When all the men are sent to war it causes a loss in manpower for the production of food. The destruction and poverty associated with war often result in unsanitary conditions and pestilence. However, pestilence can be used as an act of War. Genghis Khan tossed infected bodies over the walls of cities in Europe as a weapon of war. This pandemic was an act of war. It doesn't make sense, why would rulers who desire power want to hurt the people who are taxpayers? I was reminded of the story of how the Kimberley mine would "hobble" the slaves who tried to steal diamonds. They break the legs of these people. Once they are healed they can continue to work in the mines but are unable to run away. This pandemic has been designed in a bio weapons lab from the common cold. It is very possible that this cold virus is taken from a virus that school children have already been exposed to. This could explain why children and teachers have been virtually untouched by this pandemic. However, the elderly may never have seen it so they have died at the highest rate. The slave owners don't care about the elderly, they are an expense, not a source of revenue. Also online sales have skyrocketed during the pandemic, so the big tech companies have not been harmed, if anything they have profited. On the other hand small businesses owned and operated by the middle class have been hit very hard with tens of thousands of bankruptcies already and many more projected. So then a company like Amazon is benefitting in two ways, increased sales and decreased competition. Tax revenue may drop a little, but the costs of caring for the elderly will also drop significantly. This could explain the irrational demand to shut down all businesses and schools. The pandemic was designed to give the world's government more power and so the response is about this power grab.

There have also been great signs from heaven, particularly the great sign in Revelation 12 of the woman giving birth to the man child. See post 1022 for a great summary of these signs.

Luke 21:12-24 See the end from the beginning

12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. 13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

This is a very big but, one minute He is giving us a sweeping view of the 2,000 year history and now He is telling the apostles that before the nations are tested, before the kings are tested, before the scientists and farmers and health care workers are tested that they need to be tested. We need proof that this word can stand the test first. There needs to be a testimony that the fellowship of the apostles is a trustworthy word that can withstand the gates of hell. This is the foundation word of this entire age. What did we see in Daniel? Daniel and his three associates were tested by fire and by lions. As a result of this test it was declared that their God was the real God and everyone needed to hear their word.

The Lord is telling the apostles that He appreciates their interest in how this will all end but before any of that happens they are going to be tested.

14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: 15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

All of us have been given this word, not simply Peter and Paul. The story of Saint Stephen is a fulfillment of this word. The word that the Lord gave them they have given to us. I see these people who have lost everything in these fires in California. I just wish I would see one of them holding a Bible saying “I still have this, I’ll be fine”.

16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. 17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. 18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish. 19 In your patience possess ye your souls.

Twice He says “for my name’s sake”. This is how you can settle your mind. The suffering you are going through is for “His name’s sake”. The way you respond will be a testimony, it could be a glory to the Lord or it could be a shame. Really, be prepared so you aren’t shocked, and glorify the Lord. Now we can understand why He chose Judas. The Lord has given us an example of how to go through this, we will be betrayed so He needed to be betrayed to give us the pattern on how to go through this.

20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. 22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

This is a direct reference to 70 AD and the army of Titus. This is how it works. Those who are in power must hear the testimony of the apostles. They despise it, hate it, persecute it, and even put them to death. But the testimony has been made and it will stand for 2,000 years. Meanwhile those leaders will then be utterly and completely destroyed and disappear like dust being blown by the wind. Those are “days of vengeance”. Not yours, not ANTIFA’s, but God’s. A solid testimony of the Lord lays the groundwork for Him to then come in and take vengeance because they wouldn’t listen to His word. Not only so but the Lord tells us "the end from the beginning". Look at how the age began and you will see how it will end.

23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. 24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

Once again, a sweeping view of the last 2,000 year history for the Jews. They were led away captive to all nations, it is called the diaspora. Jerusalem was trodden down of the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles were fulfilled. It wasn’t until 1948, after the holocaust, that the Jews were able to return. Definitely “great distress” in the land. But even in 1948 Jerusalem was not returned to the Jews. It has only been in the last two years that the US and a few other countries have recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Luke 21:25-28 The powers of heaven will be shaken

25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars;

I don’t understand why Christians who claim to believe that every word of the Bible is the inspired word of God ignore this. There have been amazing signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars over the last few years. We have had a number of lunar eclipses taking place on holy days of Israel and solar eclipses taking place at key times as well. The signs in the stars like the great sign from Revelation 12 have also been seen.

and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

At best we are just starting to get a glimpse of this. Every time they use the terms “apocalyptic” to refer to a fire, or flood, or some other disaster it means we are starting to get a glimpse. If the powers of heaven are going to be shaken it should not come as a surprise that the powers of the earth would also be shaken. We are told in Daniel that each nation has spiritual forces associated with it. "Men's hearts failing" we have had a suicide rate that has risen at epidemic levels and correlates very closely to the increasing use of social media.

27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

Seriously, seeing the powers of the US government shaken could be the key event that immediately precedes our seeing the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory? I think this just jumped to the conclusion of the great tribulation, it is not clear to me how "public" the first or second rapture will be.

Who is the “they”? It refers to all those who didn’t see or refused to see Jesus, His power and glory, during this age. Right now there is a privilege to see and believe in Jesus, but then everyone will see. Today you can embrace Jesus, then you will be terrified.

28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

The rapture is referred to as "the day of redemption". Here the Lord's reference to "your redemption draweth nigh" refers to the rapture. On the one hand we don't know the day or the hour, but on the other hand we do know the signs and when see these things happening we know the day of redemption draws nigh. There are signs in the sun, moon and stars that will let you know the day is drawing near. On earth you will have distress of nations which could refer to a pandemic, it could refer to a global shutdown of the economy, it sounds like a great depression and hyper inflation. With perplexity sounds like the craziness we are seeing today where down is up, evil is good, and who knows what the truth is. The sea and the waves roaring sounds like the record breaking hurricane seasons that we have seen. Men's hearts failing them sounds like the epidemic we have seen with suicide. Finally the powers of heaven shaken sounds like the great powers like the US and China having their governments shaken (that is what would be visible as a sign to the disciples). This is Luke which is supposed to be to those who are raptured at the beginning of the tribulation, so how does this then jump to "Seeing the Son of Man coming in a cloud". I have an idea, those that are raptured at the beginning of the tribulation will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud. This is huge, because this would mean the very last sign we will see prior to the rapture will be "the powers of heaven will be shaken"

We know from Revelation that when the Man child is raptured Satan and his angels are cast to heaven, so that would be the powers of heaven shaken, but that occurs after the rapture.

We know that "our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."

And we know that when we are raptured "He that restrains will step aside" allowing the antichrist and the working of evil to be revealed. The teaching is that He that restrains refers to the Holy Spirit, but if we are the Body of Christ, then aren't we the hands and feet of the Holy Spirit? If we are wrestling against these powers doesn't that mean we are restraining these powers?

The Lord said that we should watch and prevent the house from being broken into, that is a wrestling against the liar and the thief.

What is happening right now? We are going to see the US government shaken. They are trying to avoid this but it is impossible. The audits will reveal massive fraud, a stolen election, and destroy the legitimacy of our elected officials and therefore of our government. The audit will reveal treason on a widespread and massive scale. Not only so but it will reveal a Satanic cult that has infiltrated and spread through the entire society. We should not be surprised by this, Satan tempted Jesus saying the entire world was under his control, do you really think there aren't many people out there that fell to that temptation? We are about to see "the powers of heaven shaken".
