I will walk in the faith that I know the truth.

1Jn 2: 26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that would lead you astray.

Take a look at chapter 2 and you can learn about those who "would lead you astray".

21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

For example Fauci has pushed the idea that everyone needs to be vaccinated whether or not they have recovered from Covid. Some questioned that and he rebuked them saying that to question him is to question science. The problem is we have dug up a video from ten years earlier of Fauci being asked if you still need the Flu shot if you have already had the flu and he said no, that the best vaccination is to get the flu and recover from it, so if you had the flu you don't need the shot. Whenever someone tries to scam you they will take on this air that they are the experts and they know better than you. But "we know the truth". We may not know all the facts, but we know the truth, Jesus is the truth. Inside we may get this nagging voice saying "hold on, that's not true" and we need to listen, that will keep us from those "who would lead you astray". Another example, as a teacher you have to get certain shots to teach. I was told that the vaccine mandate was the same as mandating those shots. But I teach science and I knew that wasn't true. Those vaccines took 50 years to develop and while they worked on them they had several failed attempts and even though those attempts failed while they were trying them they were touted as "safe and effective". Everyone makes that claim until it is disproven. I also knew that the Nuremberg laws made it illegal to mandate and experimental vaccine. To me the lesson is don't let someone intimidate you into thinking they are the expert, the Lord told you, "you know the truth".

1Jn 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesseth not Jesus is not of God: and this is the spirit of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it is in the world already.

This is how you can know the false teachers. Every false teacher has one thing in common, doesn't matter if they are Muslim, or Jehovah Witness, or Moonies, or whatever. They may say that Jesus was a prophet, a man of God, or a philosopher. They may be very respectful of Jesus, but they will still tell you that you need something else in addition to Jesus for salvation. That is how you know they are false teachers.

When you make a mistake you will continue to make the same mistake until you figure out why. The problem is not that someone else lied, or deceived you or tricked you. Putting the blame on others will never protect you from being scammed. You have to figure out what you did that left you open to being scammed.

So why were they duped?

1. They watched too much TV. They let MSNBC and NPR and CNN lie to them and they treated them like authorities. Prior to 2020 there was plenty of evidence to not trust them. For 3 years they told you daily "orange man bad" and "where there is smoke there is fire" with regards to the Mueller investigation. But what happened when Mueller submitted his findings, they went silent. If they had spent a few minutes to find out what the Mueller report said then they would have lost trust in CNN, MSNBC, and NPR and would not have allowed them to dupe them about the vaccine.

2. They were willing to let Fauci tell them what to think rather than to think critically. I also had complete trust in Fauci when he first started speaking, but I was listening for an explanation that I could then share with my students. I wanted to be educated about why, the people who were duped did not care about why, "just tell me what to do". That is how you become mindless.

3. People were willing to turn against the people trying to help them. I am the only person in my family who is a scientist. Yet they were willing to believe I was "anti science". As a teacher I had all my shots and yet they were willing to believe I was "anti vaxx". That doesn't make sense. Why are you so willing to listen to someone on TV who is not providing any evidence for their claims, and yet they are telling you to ignore people close to you who are warning you that this was a lie.

These are three major mistakes that each of us should become aware of and learn from.

In this particular case the logic was completely distorted. I was warning people that something was not right and Fauci was not to be trusted. They wanted to know why. How could I possibly know why? Answering that question can take years, it is absurd to respond "it doesn't make sense so I'll go ahead and trust him" even though he was clearly lying. They would also ask for proof that the vaccine was dangerous. Again, faulty logic, the vaccine maker should be the one required to give you proof it is safe, not the other way around. How would I have access to that proof? It took six months after the vaccine mandate before a judge ordered the Pfizer documents released.

Instead what people should have been asking was "why are they violating the law concerning experimental vaccines?" Also, "why are they mandating a vaccine to people with little or no risk from Covid?" Also, "why do you have to mandate a life saving wonder vaccine that will save lives?"

Everyone should have known that something was rotten, it didn't smell right, and they should have refused to take the vaccine. Even if they decided they would take the vaccine they never should have required others to take it if they didn't want it and they most certainly should not have insulted, ridiculed, mocked and shun those who questioned Fauci and the vaccine.

Unless people deal with those issues they will continue to be duped.

Deuteronomy 7:15 NIV
The LORD will keep you free from every disease. He will not inflict on you the horrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but he will inflict them on all who hate you.

There was a panic that we saw among people over this "pandemic" that demonstrated a complete lack of faith in the Lord Jesus and the word of God. I am not saying that going to the doctor or taking medicine is due to a lack of faith, what I am saying is that the "panic" was a symptom of a lack of faith.

If you weren't panicked you would say "thank you for this vaccine, now can I see the research on this that shows it is safe and effective?" They refused to show you that. So you then ask "well, by law you can't mandate an Experimental Use vaccine without showing me the research, so it is not an acceptable response to refuse, that is illegal." They would respond that you are anti science and anti vaxx, to which you would then respond "I am neither, but you are clearly a liar, a cheat and a slanderer. I don't trust you, so no, I will not take your vaccine."

Psalm 91:3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 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.

Prophetic Dreams & Visions from My Lovely Jesus

Pray about this in Jesus Christ's name. Jesus appeared to Middle Eastern Muslim every night, recited entire Gospel of John: 'God is moving' By Leah MarieAnn Klett, Assistant Editor Thursday, September 19, 2019

A church planter working in the Middle East has shared the miraculous ways the Gospel is moving across the persecuted region, including how Jesus appeared to a Muslim man every night for weeks, reciting to him the entire Gospel of John. As part of The Gospel Coalition's Something Needs to Change event held Wednesday night, David Platt, author and pastor of McLean Bible Church, held an interview with a missionary identified only as Yazim. “He lives and works in a part of the Middle East where, not only is it illegal to share the Gospel, it’s life-threatening to talk about how the Gospel is advancing,” Platt said. Speaking via simulcast with a disguised voice, Yazim began by stating, “God is moving inside the Middle East with dreams, visions, and personal visitations.” He shared the story of a man who lived about 50 kilometers outside of an unnamed Middle Eastern city known for vast opium use. “This man said this to us when we visited him: ‘A man wearing all white knocked at my door every night and I couldn’t look at him because his face was so shiny and bright,’” Yazim recalled. “‘When he would come inside, he asked me to write down what he said. As I wrote, I fell asleep. The next night, he would come again for the next month.’” Yazim asked the man, “What did you write? May I see your notebook?” The man showed Yazim his notebook. In it was written: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him, and without him was not anything made that was made," the opening portion of the New Testament book of John. “He had the whole book of John verbatim in his notebook,” Yazim revealed. “Jesus visited him every night until he finished the book. The amazing thing is, the man actually asked us, ‘who was this man that visited me?’” “I learned a valuable lesson: God will do his part, but we still have to do ours,” he added. Platt revealed that Yazim’s own conversion story is miraculous: His wife was a devout Muslim who, profoundly depressed by the demands of Islam, decided to take her own life. However, that very night, she heard the Gospel for the first time and dedicated her life to Jesus. Following that event, she and her husband decided to stay in their homeland and dedicate their lives to sharing the Gospel despite the risks. “Our focus is to make disciples who make disciples who then start new churches,” Yazim said. “We believe that what God commanded us to do is Matthew 28. We believe that if you make disciples, churches will grow.” Yazim and his wife revealed they hope to plant ten more churches, but making disciples takes time and funding, as new Christians must be taken to secret locations to be trained. “This training, along with supporting the leaders, will cost $25,000 for ten churches to be developed,” he shared. Platt, who earlier in the night announced the proceeds from his latest book will go to “urgent needs in the world,” said, “Well, Yazim, we praise God for what you’re doing on the front lines in the Middle East. We want you to know from your brothers and sisters who are behind you on those lines that you’re not alone.” “Count us in for that $25,000 to plant ten churches in the Middle East,” Platt declared. Such stories of Jesus appearing in visions to Muslims throughout the Islamic world are not uncommon. According to Mission Frontiers magazine, out of 600 Muslim converts, 25 percent experienced a dream that led to their conversion. Last year, a former Muslim-turned-pastor who started hundreds of churches in Pakistan told The Christian Post that many Muslims are making decisions to convert after Jesus Himself had visited them in dreams and visions. “It's very dangerous for anyone to preach the Word of God face-to-face in non-Western countries,” the pastor told CP. “God reveals things through dreams to evangelists/pastors. People in the East are more uneducated and unable to read the Bible so God uses this method to reach them.” “[People] are very faithful in the East, placing themselves in positions to see the signs of God by studying the Word of God,” he added. “Eastern people watch for the signs and miracles to show that the Word of God is alive. It is a privilege, one not everyone can share in — to own a Bible in the East. In the West, people look more for wisdom, like the Greeks of old. They do not always rely on faith, which can't be seen.”

Matthew 12:1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.

2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;

4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?

5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.

7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

9 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:

10 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.

14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.

Think about this, the Pharisees want to make it "illegal" to follow Jesus. They want to say that for His disciples to eat violates the law and for His disciples to be healed violates the law. Think of the hypocrisy, the priests profane the sabbath when the circumcise children on the sabbath day, but that is OK with them. Circumcision, that is OK, but healing is not.

When the Antichrist takes power we will see the same thing. He will make it illegal to eat certain foods because it violates their religion. Everything that feeds and heals your soul will be made illegal.

Matthew 12:15 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

16 And charged them that they should not make him known:

17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.

19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.

20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

This is the contrast between the Lord and His servants and everyone else. Everyone else is talking about likes and subscriptions and donating to their platform, buying their merchandise and monetizing their ministry. The Lord is not. No advertising. No hawking Tshirts, videos and books. No begging for donations. No striving, no crying, no one hearing his voice in the streets.

Where does the Bible say that the Jews rebuild the temple?

2Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

This appears to be the only verse in the NT saying that the Antichrist will sit in the Temple, hence a temple will be here at the end of the age.

However, Vine's entry for the definition of this word "Temple" is used of the inner part of the Temple in Jerusalem, in Mat 23:35, RV, "sanctuary."

So it might simply be referring to the Holy of Holies. Here is what is bothering me, there is no mention of the temple being destroyed in Jerusalem during the last seven years and yet in Revelation it says clearly in the New Jerusalem there is no Temple.

Revelation 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

Ephesians tells us clearly that the church is the temple of God.

Ephesians 2:21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

And we are also told in the Gospels that the previous temple took 46 years to build.

John 2:20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple G3485 in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

Then we know that Jesus said He would build His church, and that this was a fulfillment of Zechariah's prophecy.

Zechariah 6:12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:

That word "Branch" can refer to Jesus being a nazarene. The church is the temple that Jesus has built up, just as He said, destroy this temple and in three days He would raise it up. That is a reference to Hosea. The church age is 2 days, 2 thousand years, at the start of the 3rd day, Jesus' Millennial kingdom, He will raise up the temple.

Amos 9:11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:

I know that Antichrist will set himself up in the Sanctuary, where the mercy seat is, but I don't see any prophecy or reason why it would be a "temple" instead of the tabernacle. My understanding is that they will set up the Tabernacle of David in Shiloh where they will sacrifice the Red Heifer. It is King David who brings the ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem, that would be Jesus during the Millennial reign. This could happen this spring. The Antichrist sitting in the sanctuary could refer to the tabernacle of David and not the Temple.

I had a weird dream last night, one reason it was weird was because I had it three times. Every time I fell asleep I returned to the same dream. I knew it was important, but couldn't understand it. But then when I was considering this matter of Israel rebuilding the temple it seems like I got some insight.

So the dream was that I got a job at a store that made and sold shirts. I was looking at all these great designs for shirts and suggesting all kinds of great shirts to make but they never made any shirts and they kept laying off people but for some reason they kept me.

So when I woke up I was wondering what the signficance of shirts is and all I could come up with was the Lord's word about not putting a patch on an old garment which was a reference to the church being a new garment, and when I googled the significance the meaning had something to do with glorious attire.

But then when I was considering this matter of the temple being rebuilt I felt this is what it was referring to. All these various Bible expositors have come up with all these great, beautiful teachings about how the temple has to be rebuilt, but suppose the temple is never rebuilt. There is no prophecy that says it will be and even more important there is no prophecy that says the Temple will be destroyed again at the end of the age.

Before I had gone to sleep I had seen this prophecy about raising the Tabernacle of David, so my thought is the Lord may have been confirming to me that the Temple will not be rebuilt (the shirt won't be made) instead the tabernacle of David will be raised in Shiloh and the Antichrist will set himself up in the sanctuary, the Holy of Holies of the tabernacle of David.

First you must bind the strong man

22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.

23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?

24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

You can't plunder the house until you bind the strong man. For example, you have to eliminate election fraud, that will bind the strong man, the one who decides who is and who is not elected, then you can deal with all the other corruption. You have to bind the ones who censor your speech, then you can have reasonable and logical discussions concerning the truth, shine a light in the darkness and root out corruption. There is a reason why the First Amendment is the first Amendment. That is by far the most important safeguard to our constitution.

Joy Reid is a race hustler

34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

The things she says are racist and should get her fired. The fact that she is not fired tells you how evil is this generation of vipers. Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid have a treasure chest of evil things that they speak on a daily basis.

This is the judgment on this wicked generation

43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

This is a prophecy. The last state of this wicked generation will be seven times worse than what you are seeing right now.
