Last night I was asking the Lord why my prayer life was so different from others like Vicky Goforth Parnell. I asked him for a dream and in this dream I was sitting at a table and this woman came up to me and asked why I had her name on my name tag. The name was "Dorothy". So I looked up the meaning of Dorothy and it was "Gift of God".

Romans 12:6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith;

I think this was the Lord's answer to my prayer. Why am I asking about Vicky, we have different gifts and that is according to the grace given to each of us, and as such we need to exercise those gifts according to our faith.

1Corinthians 7:7 I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.

I think the speed with which the US changes as they roll out AI is going to shock people. It will seem like the entire world has changed overnight while at the same time people will realize we have been working towards this ever since WW2 when they invented the computer to break Enigma

The Beast system is rising

Daniel prophesied that knowledge would increase.

Prior to WW2 it was estimated that knowledge doubled every century. After WW2 it was thought that knowledge doubled every 25 years. Today it is thought that knowledge is doubling every year and that it could even get to the point where it is doubling every 12 hours.

Imagine this is the very end of the sixth day mentioned in Genesis 1. Six thousand years ago it was waste and void, but now the earth is filled like the garden of Eden and we even have the tree of Life in the center of the garden (Jesus Christ and the Bible). But now we also have AI, the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil which is also in the center of the garden. This will make one wise and appear like God. But the result is that we will be expelled from the garden and robots and AI will take over and replace us. We have Jesus Christ and the church. But we also have those who will choose the tree of death instead of the tree of life. All these ones are about to discover that they are now naked. Imagine you have a student who for 3 years has been an A+ student and done marvelous work. But then we decide to test this student and discover that it was chatGPT that did all that work. The student is "naked". We ask them to write something and it is like using a fig leaf instead of clothes. It is a pitiful excuse for clothes.

Who is telling them that they are naked? AI is. It used to be a hundred years ago no one had an issue with a simple paper written by a sixth grader. But now we expect pictures, references, and all kinds of bells and whistles that AI does. God was happy with us developing at our own rate. He never said we were naked despite the fact that He is omniscient. But AI has short circuited everything.

Now there are three curses that will arise. Is AI cheaper and more efficient than human labor? Yes. But, AI will eat dust. As the AI replaces people the businesses using AI will lose customers. At first the cost will seem a small fraction of what human labor would cost, but as humans become unemployed all the consumers will dry up and so will the income for these companies. AI will reduce labor costs by 90%, but it will also reduce income by 90%. So then it will have to eat dust.

Meanwhile man will have to work by the sweat of their brow and women will have much more difficulty raising children. But in the end God knew all about AI and knew it was a total waste of electricity. What is the point of building billion dollar computers with billion dollar transmission and billion dollar software to do jobs for Fortune 500 companies if there are no customers for your products? It is not sustainable whereas people learning and growing and developing is sustainable.

Let's talk about elite capture. Stan talks about how much he appreciates the platforms because you can quickly, easily and for no money reach thousands and tens of thousands of people. But you have to look at how the whole game plays out. These platforms don't care about you if you have a thousand subscribers. But if you get to 100,000 then they check you out. They can shadow ban you and if you say anything they don't like about the worship of Moloch or their god then they don't care about the rules, they suspend you and delete you and you lose all the content you have posted on there as well as all those subscribers you have built up. It is a major loss. To avoid that people begin to act like puppets on a string not saying certain words. They think they are clever but in reality sound like puppets on a string. Then you hear them saying they don't dare to talk about certain topics. This is how they control you. Now you may think that you have some site somewhere that is real clever about getting around these restrictions, but the reality is that churches and pastors and preachers all over the globe are like animals in the zoo. They are all captured and people who see them can't help but see how they have been captured. Either they say nothing or if they do hit a critical topic they make it very clear they are in a prison and are unable to discuss it as they should.

9 He went on to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it to some farmers and went away for a long time. 10 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants so they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 11 He sent another servant, but that one also they beat and treated shamefully and sent away empty-handed. 12 He sent still a third, and they wounded him and threw him out.

13 “Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my son, whom I love; perhaps they will respect him.’

14 “But when the tenants saw him, they talked the matter over. ‘This is the heir,’ they said. ‘Let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 15 So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

“What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? 16 He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.”

When the people heard this, they said, “God forbid!”

17 Jesus looked directly at them and asked, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written:

“‘The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone’?
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”


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.

If you really speak out they want to arrest you and the only thing restraining them is their fear of the people. We have a populist movement. Like Zechariah said, "not by power or by might but by my Spirit says the Lord"

You can't serve two masters. Either the church is the church of God or the church must submit to Facebook or the board of directors or whatever platform you think is most important.

Let's discuss "no one knows the day or the hour"

Rapture Wiggle Room Looking At Hosea 6:2


1. There are reasons why watchmen seem to ignore this despite them being well aware of this verse. First, Revelation 3:3b "if therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee". People (I don't say believers) use the verse no one knows the day or hour as an excuse to not watch. Clearly from this verse it is not to be used as an excuse to not watch. That is the first point, yes, 2,000 years ago "no one knows the day or hour" but it is like the night watchmen at the temple, just because you didn't know in advance when the thief was coming doesn't mean that if you were watching you wouldn't see him coming. The Lord gave us many, many signs to watch for.

2. Yes, this verse tells us ahead of time that no one will know the day or the hour, but that doesn't say no one will know the year and this verse in Hosea is a very powerful prophecy pointing to the year. You simply need to know the year that Jesus ascended.

3. Also, in Colossians Paul tells us the feast days are dress rehearsals, they are prophetic telling us of things to come. Therefore it makes perfect sense to study them for their prophetic meaning. On the one hand you can interpret "no one knows the day or the hour" to mean that the rapture is not on a feast day. However, on the other hand you can take verses in Daniel saying that Satan will try to change times and seasons to indicate that the calendar will be corrupted and that is why no one knows the day or the hour. In fact, the verse in Daniel indicates that Satan is worried about us knowing when these feast days are because they are prophetic and they will tell us what is coming.

4. Another way to interpret this is that there are two feasts where no one knows the day or the hour, Shavuot and Trumpets. Some say Jesus was referencing these feasts by saying this.

5. Another way to interpret this is that every feast refers to resurrection from the dead and can indicate rapture. Jesus rising from the dead on the third day along with many others that were seen in Jerusalem on the day of resurrection is one example. You could argue that the seven day feast of unleavened bread indicates the entire church age, so the end of that week would also be the end of the church age which takes place with the rapture. Shavuot appears to be a very accurate picture of Jesus' ascension, so you could argue that since we are told He will return as you saw Him leave that we'll see Jesus return on ascension day. You could also argue that the Feast of new wine (Pentecost) is the 8th of Av and that the 9th of Av is a picture of God's judgement on the apostate church which coincides with the rapture and that Moses calling up the Levites is a picture of the rapture. Then you can argue that Hanukkah is a very good picture of the mid tribulation rapture and that Purim is also a picture of the rapture that kicks off the tribulation. The point is that there is no one feast that points to the rapture, rather there are many feasts. There is a nice parallel between the last day of the Feast of unleavened bread and the 15th of Av. The 15th of Av is one of the happiest days in the Jewish calendar. It marks the end of the forty years of judgment and death in the wilderness. To me it is like the happiness you would feel when the seven year tribulation is over. It is also a very clear picture of the dead in Christ rising and coming out of the graves. But the same can be said of the last day of the Feast of unleavened bread. If you go through the church age feasting on unleavened bread, you purged all the leaven out of your home and out of the things you consume that would indicate a faithful servant of the Lord during the church age. When the church age comes to an end we know there will be a rapture. On the other hand if you were faithless and left behind in the tribulation but repent and then are saved it is like a mirror of the feast of unleavened bread. The feast of unleavened bread begins with the sacrifice of the lamb, the tribulation also begins with the sacrifice of the lamb.

The Feast of Unleavened Bread

If anyone eats of this bread he will live forever. So it is a picture in the church age if you receive Jesus you will be saved and He will become your blessed hope which includes the rapture. When this feast is over Jesus again meets with the disciples for the second time, only this time doubting Thomas is there and Jesus tells him to see that it is really Him and to be doubting no longer. This is like those who are doubting about the rapture. That is the second time that Jesus appeared to them, then at the time of the ascension it says Jesus had appeared 40 times. That is a period of trial and testing, just as Jesus was fasting in the wilderness for forty days. After the rapture there will also be a forty day period of trial and testing for those left behind.

Let's return to this "no one knows the day or the hour"

There is nothing in the Bible that would suggest we as believers don't know the year. In fact the Jews were rebuked for not knowing the time of their visitation. With that in mind let us consider what Jesus told us, He said that the sign of Jonah would be given to this adulterous age.

1. Jonah was spit up onto the beach after being in the belly of the great fish for 3 days and 3 nights. That would be a reference to Jesus resurrection.

2. Jonah walked a half days journey into the center of the city of Nineveh and began preaching. That would be a picture of the half a year it took to get to Pentecost when all the disciples began to preach to Jerusalem to repent.

3. In Jonah's preaching he said after 40 days the city would be destroyed. In 70 AD Jerusalem was besieged and destroyed on the 9th of Av which is the day after the Feast of New wine when Peter and the disciples began to preach.

If Jesus was crucified in either 30AD or 31AD this prophecy would fit perfectly, like a glove.

Now then we can also apply Hosea 6:2 with the same lens. 2 days could refer to 2,000 years. The prophecy is to the Jews, at the end of 2,000 years they are revived and on the third day they are raised up. If Jesus ascended in 31 AD then the deadline to revive the Jews at the end of 2,000 years would be ascension day 2031. That would be when Jesus returns in glory in the clouds and all the Jews say "blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord". Seven years before this time would be 2024.

Now Jesus returning in the clouds is not the end of the seven year tribulation. The end is after Armageddon and He returns before Armageddon.

But my point is that this prophecy clearly points to 2024 and cannot refer to any later year.

I think we can also eliminate a 30AD crucifixion as that would have meant He returns prior to ascension day in 2030 and the tribulation begins in 2023. But that is simply a matter for historians at this point.

To put this into an analogy. If this were a football game you have both teams on the field ready to kick off the ball. The ref has the whistle in his hand, his arm is up and when he blows the whistle the kickoff team can kick the ball. We are at that moment right before the whistle is blown.

the last day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread

What is so special about the last day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread? What makes it special is not the death of the Egyptians or the fact God “saved” the Israelites from slavery. Rather, God would teach Pharaoh one final lesson about His power, and His people would pass from bondage and death to freedom and life.



What did the Apostle Paul say about the Cloud that traveled with Israel after leaving Egypt?

“For I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea; and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.” (1st Cor. 10:1-2)
Today we are baptized in Yeshua and He baptizes us in the Cloud, which is the Spirit. When you were baptized, you went into the sea, just as they did. Paul didn’t want them to be ignorant but to understand. We are not baptized into Moses but into Yeshua.

Today is a special day. What makes it special is not the death of the Egyptians or the fact He “saved” the Israelites from slavery but because God would “be honored through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord,” as He told Moses in Ex. 14:4.

On the first day of Unleavened Bread God sanctified — “set apart” — the first-born of Israel because of the death of the first-born of Egypt. When Messiah Yeshua died on the cross, He sanctified you and me. It happened then and is happening now. You might not see yourself as sanctified but the only reason we are sanctified is due to the bread and blood of the Messiah. We celebrate freedom, and there’s nothing wrong with that. We were not sanctified when we got baptized, just as the people of Israel were already sanctified at Passover and were not baptized until seven days later.

Yeshua rose from the grave during the morning watch. God did not kill His son in Moses’ time but in Yeshua’s time. The Apostles did not rejoice at Yeshua’s death, they fasted. They were in fear of their death. Although the Apostles were free and they were clean but they were not in a spirit of bouncing joy at Yeshua’s death. The children of Israel were not bouncing for joy at the death of the first born of Egypt. They were in fear and terror, too.

Yeshua was resurrected on the third day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, also called First Fruits. Whether that was on a Shabbat or on a Sunday is not where we should place our focus. The children of Israel were on the edge of the wilderness on the Third Day, they weren’t at the shore of the Red Sea yet.

The Apostles did not understand at the time that Yeshua would arise from the dead. His resurrection was as “a thief in the night.” They were not expecting it, they were caught unaware. We are to watch the things of God, not the things of this world.

There’s a tremendous beauty when we go through the true baptism and the Spirit of God travels with us and through us. This is when we passed from death into life. The days of Unleavened Bread are days of life and not death. Purity and truth died on the cross. They had no hope, no future. They didn’t know that He would be resurrected at the time of their darkness and sorrow.

Yeshua’s resurrection was the beginning of the New Testament but the Apostles had no idea what that meant when they were eating the Last Supper with Yeshua.

We need to pay attention to all of God’s holy times. All seven days of Unleavened Bread are important in some way. But make note that there isn’t a holy convocation for all of Israel on the third day but on the First and Seventh days of Unleavened Bread.
