Luke 4:33 Now in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice, 34 saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

Just because the Demon recognizes Jesus Christ does not mean it isn't a Demon. There are two things that separate demons from believers, first "what have we do to with you". A believer would never have this attitude. Second, "did you come to destroy us?" Paul told us that if anyone comes to us with a different gospel let them be anathema. Demons know about the Lord's coming, they can recognize Him and they know about their judgement that is to be executed shortly. What they don't know is the gospel of grace.

Luke 8:28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, “What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!”

This is a second example, "I beg You, do not torment me". They have no clue about the gospel of grace. What they do know about is wrath, and torment and judgement.

Acts 16:16 Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling. 17 This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” 18 And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And he came out that very hour. 19 But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to the authorities.

This is my point, it is called "predictive programming". This is where people (maybe even believers) pick out prophetic words from Hollywood movies and demonic music videos. We saw recently in the lawsuit involving Britney Spears that she is a "slave girl" who is bringing her masters much profit. Do not be surprised if these demon possessed slaves working for the movie industry and music industry have a prophetic word. Demons know about the coming judgement, they know about Jesus Christ, they know about torment and fire and fallen angels. You can see all of that in these things that come from this spirit of divination, what you can't see is the gospel of grace. What you can't see is the way of salvation. The Lord will not allow these foul creatures to speak His name or preach His gospel or witness to His grace.

2Peter 1:19 And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;

I have heard a number of prophecies from many different sources. Some of these words have been confirmed. But the words and prophecies of the Bible are a light that shines in a dark place. It is a sure word, a word of life and grace. It is a word of salvation. Compare that with these dark sayings of judgement, torment, destruction and hell fire.

What is happening in Kabul is a warning of the imminent tribulation

1. When they say peace and security, then sudden destruction comes upon them and they will not escape.

2. The picture of people in the plane looking like people in "the ark" is a beautiful picture of the Lord rescuing us with the rapture.

3. The people clinging to the outside of the plane, like those at Noah's time trying to get into the ark when it was too late. Another picture of the coming destruction.

4. They released 5,000 ISIS prisoners. The common phrase is "when we go up they go down". At the time of the rapture the fallen angels will be poured out onto the earth.

Hosea 7:1-7 The sins are exposed, the crimes are revealed

Gill summarizes this chapter: They are charged with ingratitude to God, sinning in a daring manner against mercy, and with falsehood, thefts, and robberies, Hosea 7:1; with want of consideration of the omniscience of God, and his notice of their sins, which surrounded them, Hosea 7:2; with flattery to their king and princes, Hosea 7:3; with adultery, which lust raged in them like a heated oven, Hosea 7:4; with drunkenness, aggravated by drawing their king into it, Hosea 7:5; with raging lusts, which devoured their judges, made their kings to fall, and brought on such a general corruption, that there were none that called upon the Lord, Hosea 7:6; with mixing themselves with the nations of the earth, and so learning their ways, and bringing their superstition and idolatry into the worship of God, so that they were nothing in religion, like a half baked cake, Hosea 7:8; with stupidity and insensibility of their declining state, Hosea 7:9; with pride, impenitence, and stubbornness, Hosea 7:10; with folly, in seeking to Egypt and Assyria for help, and not to the Lord; for which they would be taken as birds in a net, and sorely chastised, Hosea 7:11; with ingratitude, hypocrisy, and deceitfulness; for all which they are threatened with destruction, Hosea 7:13.

1 whenever I would heal Israel,

the sins of Ephraim are exposed

and the crimes of Samaria revealed.

For example, we saw with Trump’s presidency an attempt to “drain the swamp”, to heal the political corruption, and at that time it was revealed. The FBI, the FISA warrant scandal, the Russia hoax, the two bogus impeachments.

They practice deceit,

thieves break into houses,

bandits rob in the streets;

They used a pandemic and BLM protests, riots and looting to try and get Trump out of office. Zuckerberg spent $400 million to get election officials to commit fraud and steal the election. Everyone was practicing deceit from the tech oligarchs, the politicians, election officials, mainstream media, ...

2 but they do not realize

that I remember all their evil deeds.

Trump set up the “Space Force” which is a funny name for a wing of the military that monitors all telecommunications traveling through satellites. They know exactly what evil deeds were done. When he says that the election was stolen this is not conjecture or speculation. A great example recently was Biden's speech after the Kabul failure in which he blamed the failed attempt at nation building saying the US is not good at nation building. Wow, so much for the Marshall plan and what we did with Japan. OK, except almost 20 years ago Biden was one of the biggest and most vocal proponents of nation building when we were first in Afghanistan.

Their sins engulf them;

they are always before me.

If the Lord knows their sins why not judge them, why allow them to continue?

3 “They delight the king with their wickedness,

the princes with their lies.

4 They are all adulterers,

burning like an oven

whose fire the baker need not stir

from the kneading of the dough till it rises.

When you cook you will first preheat the oven. What we are seeing right now is the oven get preheated while the dough continues to rise. Everything that has happened in the first months of Biden’s administration has convinced more and more people that he is a liar and that those who facilitated this fraud are liars. After the election people learned that the Hunter Biden scandal was not fabricated but real. 6% of those who voted for Biden said they wouldn’t have voted for him had they known that. Biden’s move to destroy women’s sports has convinced many more. Biden’s lies concerning not banning fracking or getting people $2,000 checks is convincing still more. Even the Democrats are now saying that Biden is not fit to be the one solely responsible to hold the nuclear football. The exposure of Cuomo’s lies is also revealing their lies about who really managed the Covid crisis well and who didn’t. With every scandal, with every revelation it is like bread rising. The second impeachment was all about the January 6th riot and ultimately what did Trump do once it was taking place. They wanted to blame him for not sending in the troops and not doing more to keep it secure. The problem with that argument is that Nancy Pelosi is responsible for keeping it safe and she turned down troops offered to her from the President. They claimed election fraud was a lie and censored any reference to it. However the Peter Navarro report and the Mike Lindell movie obliterate that argument. They can try to censor those but tens of millions have already seen the movie from start to finish and the same thing with the Peter Navarro report. The evidence has travelled around the world. Now with the collapse in Kabul his support has imploded. 70% of the country wants him gone, even the mainstream media is no longer covering for him.

5 On the day of the festival of our king

the princes become inflamed with wine,

and he joins hands with the mockers.

6 Their hearts are like an oven;

they approach him with intrigue.

Their passion smolders all night;

in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.

7 All of them are hot as an oven;

they devour their rulers.

All their kings fall,

and none of them calls on me.

This is what the FISA scandal has revealed as well as the Steel Dossier, the FBI works as a kingmaker and also to bring down those that don’t join hands with them.

Behold the Passover lamb and His witnesses

When Jesus began His ministry John said "behold the lamb of God". That told us exactly how and when He would be put to death. The Passover was instituted by God to display the sins and crimes of Egypt. They had killed those little babies, which are likened to lambs. Jesus death on the cross displayed the sins and crimes of the Romans and Jews. It was the "videotape" evidence of their guilt. Maybe many of the other trials and convictions would have been harder to prove they were guilty. For example we have videotape evidence of a cop shooting a thirteen year old kid, but the kid was holding a gun which he had fired, the kid was out at 2am with another man who was a convict. So as terrible as that video is it isn't perfect evidence of a crime the way Jesus' crucifixion was.

That said, Jesus said that we were His witnesses. During the Passover you don't just have the lamb, you also have the witnesses. These are the ones who have put the blood on the doorpost. Our mouth is our "door" to our heart. The eyes and ears may be windows, but the mouth is the door. The witnesses must put the blood of the lamb on the lintel above the door.

Deuteronomy 6:9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

How do you write the law of God on the doorposts? The law of God is a portrait of God, the blood of the lamb is also a portrait of God, an expression of God manifested in the flesh. The witnesses need to have Jesus, the incarnated word of God, the Lamb of God who died for us, on their mouth.

The age of grace is two thousand years which to God is like two days.

Hosea 6:2 After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence.

This age is like a trial where the evidence is presented that this age is corrupt, the rulers are evil, and they need to be judged. We are the witnesses in this trial.

Revelation 6:9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. 10 They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” 11 Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been.

This is the conclusion of the prosecution. Once the prosecution rests the defendants still have an opportunity to present a defense. Therefore after they give their testimony they still need to wait a little longer until the trial is concluded and there is a judgement. However, when a guilty party has no defense they will often do something desperate like "kill more servants just as the others had been killed".

The Jewish year begins with the Passover lamb being slain, the crime is committed and the witnesses are there. To be a witness is to eat the bread of affliction during the feast of unleavened bread. After that you present the law enumerating the charges and offenses, the feast of Pentecost celebrates the Israelites coming to Mount Sinai where the Law was given after the Passover feast. Then when the trial is concluded you have a deliberation of the Jury. This is called "the days of awe" or "Jacob's trouble". It is the ten days from the Festival of Trumpets to the day of Atonement which is when the judge announces the verdict. The Jewish year can be viewed as a trial.

So then let's return to our role in this trial, we are not the lamb of God but there have been many martyrs and their blood is also part of the evidence against this evil age. If you have an evil ruler on trial for murder it is very relevant if there are multiple offenses of this crime that are similar. If you had a serial killer it would be very important to present evidence not only of Jesus crucifixion but also of all the other crimes and sins they have committed. Therefore the Jewish year does not just have "the Passover" but there is also a second Passover for those who missed the first one. That to me is what the fifth seal being opened is all about.

Revelation 6:12 I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, 13 and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. 14 The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

15 Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. 16 They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?”

This is the point in the trial when the criminal knows he is doomed. I suspect that this is immediately after the first rapture. But we are given a very interesting clue, "the whole moon turned blood red". That will not ever happen 50 days after the Passover because the Passover is always on a full moon. You will never get a full moon 50 days later. Nor will it happen on the Festival of Trumpets because that is always on a new moon unless it is a jubilee year in which case it will be ten days later, still not a full a moon. Nor will it ever be on the feast of atonement because that is always ten days after the New moon. There are only two festivals that occur during a full moon, Passover and Tabernacles. (Of course 2nd Passover is also during the full moon).

Revelation 6:7 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: 3 “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.”

Look at this! Passover refers to God standing over the house to prevent it from being broken into by the avenging angel. Here we see the exact same thing. Also we are told that the Lord's return will be like a thief in the night for those who are not paying attention. The only Jewish festival with a "thief in the night" is Passover, the avenging angel went through all the houses of the Egyptians and stole the firstborn of man and beast.

Another interesting point about Passover, they celebrate the meal the evening before the full moon, then they leave Egypt immediately after and that night you have your full moon, the first night in the desert. Likewise we see the fifth seal with the blood of the martyrs seemingly the night before the sixth seal when we see the blood moon.

Hosea 8:1-7 Sow to the wind reap the whirlwind


1 “Put the trumpet to your lips!

An eagle is over the house of the Lord

because the people have broken my covenant

and rebelled against my law.


Every believer needs to sound the warning. Why do you think Germany attacked the Jews viciously during WWII? Because of hyperinflation the entire economy was in a shambles. The Germans didn’t know what happened or why but they did know that bankers and those in charge of that industry had to see what was happening and did nothing. You don’t warn the world of the coming judgement during the Day of the Lord then of course they will blame you when it comes.


2 Israel cries out to me,

‘Our God, we acknowledge you!’

3 But Israel has rejected what is good;

an enemy will pursue him.


Let’s be honest, today they are rejecting all sorts of things that are good. One of the BLM founders has bought four homes worth $3 million and yet not a penny of that donated to them has helped the real victims of crimes. They are simply a shake down racket. Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., Gandhi, and Malcolm X have all been rejected by Antifa, who thinks violence, rioting and looting is the way. Now they are turning on themselves. BLM is turning on Biden, and Antifa is turning on both BLM and Biden.


4 They set up kings without my consent;

they choose princes without my approval.

With their silver and gold

they make idols for themselves
to their own destruction.



Election fraud is very real. According to the constitution God has given His consent to majority rule, but not to election fraud.


5 Samaria, throw out your calf-idol!

My anger burns against them.

How long will they be incapable of purity?


6 They are from Israel!

This calf—a metalworker has made it;

it is not God.

It will be broken in pieces,
that calf of Samaria.



The calf was an idol for the agricultural economy. Cows were the engine that transformed the landscape as well as providing milk, cheese and meat. Recently the US dollar was the “petro dollar”, oil was the engine that transformed the cities as well as providing the basic ingredients in fertilizer. But they want to change that to a digital dollar. Biden’s unconstrained spending spree will break the petro dollar into pieces.

7 “They sow the wind

and reap the whirlwind.

The stalk has no head;

it will produce no flour.

Were it to yield grain,

foreigners would swallow it up.


Accusing Trump of not listening to the science is sowing to the wind. But now even liberals like Bill Maher know that they have lied to the people and the states like Texas and Florida which were supposedly run by idiot science deniers are actually the states doing the best. They are realizing the Cuomo and Whitmer intentionally spiked the deaths by sending infected people into nursing homes. They are going to reap the whirlwind. They were hoping to have the pandemic end now that Trump is out of office but it is too late, too many millions have had it, now we have new and different strains. The economy is set up to receive a knockout blow. They encouraged BLM riots and looting as a way to make it look like Trump was the cause of chaos, they sowed to the wind but now they are going to reap the whirlwind as Antifa and BLM realize they have been played. They are on record accusing Trump of being a fascist in the way he treats people on the border yet the border is three times worse now. Their hypocrisy is on display for all to see. They are ignoring the science, packing people like sardines into the border, they are insulting americans paying millions and millions of dollars to house illegal aliens in hotels while leaving American veterans on the streets homeless. All of their words will come back to haunt them as a whirlwind.

This is a wonderful warning to the entire world.

1. "The fear of being left behind"

and

2. Revelation 12:4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born.


And listen to Gen Milley, no one foresaw the collapse of an army that size that quickly. The US is the Great Babylon and it says that her destruction comes in one hour.

Proverbs 22:1-8 -- The issue with Capitalism

A good name is more desirable than great riches;

to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.

This is the fundamental problem with capitalism. Corporations are supposed to only be focused on great riches. Studies have shown that this causes corporations to act as psychopaths. If corporations are indeed "persons," their mental condition can accurately be described as pathological. Corporations have no innate moral impulses, and in fact they exist solely for the purpose of making money. As such, these "persons" are systemically driven to do whatever is necessary to increase revenues and profits, with no regard for ethical issues that might nag real people. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/our-humanity-naturally/201103/why-corporations-are-psychotic

2 Rich and poor have this in common:

The Lord is the Maker of them all.

I have met billionaires, I have met people who were royalty, I have met the family of famous rock stars like the Rolling Stones, I have met people who were royalty but have been deposed, and I have met people who were poor, uneducated, and happy to make minimum wage. What is amazing is how similar they all are. If you gave them all the same clothes and put them in a lineup I would not be able to tell them apart. Some of the dumbest people I ever met were making $100,000 or more a month. Some of the most ordinary people I have ever met were the kids of the elites.

3

The prudent see danger and take refuge,

but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.

Think about Bernie Madoff. The man was very wealthy and very successful before he even started his ponzi scheme. Why do it? Why trade a good name for riches, and very temporary riches at that. It wasn’t the prudent thing to do, it tells me he was “simple”. Surely once he started down this path he kept going until he had to pay the penalty.

4

Humility is the fear of the Lord;

its wages are riches and honor and life.

I suspect this is the big issue. Bernie Madoff lacked humility. He probably had a bad quarter and rather than admit to it, rather than let people see “he wasn’t all that” he thought he could cheat. Cook the books and as long as many people signed up for his fund he would be able to cover anyone wishing to pull money out.

5

In the paths of the wicked are snares and pitfalls,

but those who would preserve their life stay far from them.

You see this as a teacher, some kids choose to cheat. That is the path they take and on that path there are snares and pitfalls. As long as Madoff could sign up more new money than people leaving he could keep up the illusion. The first snare is that the only way to do that is to have higher reported earnings than everyone else. Investing the money is risky, you could always have a bad quarter. You have to be opaque because at the end of each quarter you will have to have some bogus set of trades that shows you were getting better returns than the rest of the street. Your fund will grow into billions and billions but you don’t need research, anyone involved with the company would learn it was a sham. One lie becomes ten and ten lies become a thousand. All it takes is for one lie to become exposed and the whole house of cards collapses. It is very easy to turn down this path, but once you do it is very difficult to leave it and after only a few months it would be impossible to leave without confessing to your crime, destroying the entire company and going to jail.

6

Start children off on the way they should go,

and even when they are old they will not turn from it.

Compare Bernie Madoff with Warren Buffet. From a young age he saw profitable businesses as cash machines. As a kid he invested in a vending machine and realized it was like a box which you go to each day and get money out of. He took this approach to investing, and his life became very simple. Find a good business, understand it, realize it is like a stock that will keep spitting out money each month, and buy it. Gillette razor blades, Coca Cola, Car insurance. Those are the things he invested in and then spent much of his time playing bridge. No worries, just profit. If there was a bad month he had no problem putting out those numbers. In one meeting he said he wanted to thank his personal trainer but the man begged him not to. It was a self effacing joke that demonstrates a guy who is humble.

7

The rich rule over the poor,

and the borrower is slave to the lender.

This is the point. How do you make slaves? You lend money to them. At one point in my life my Dad told me he was shocked at how little money I had (he disapproved of me being a full time Christian evangelist). I said that is true, but I don’t have any debts. How many people can say that? How many are “debt free”? Biden’s policies are designed to make the US slaves. He might argue that the US was already on this path before he became president. That may be true but no one has embraced borrowing money (spending money you don’t have) more than he has.

8

Whoever sows injustice reaps calamity,

and the rod they wield in fury will be broken.

What a great picture of today. The two impeachments of Trump were injustice, the lies and slander about the previous administration were injustice, the election fraud is injustice. They will reap for everything they have done. The first time I ever voted it was Jimmy Carter versus Ronald Reagan. I thought no way I am voting for a Hollywood actor, I’ll vote for a Christian, and voted for Jimmy Carter. However, four years later I had changed my mind and voted for Reagan in his second term. Do you think anyone who didn’t vote for Biden is going to change their mind and vote for him (or Kamala Harris) in four years? There is no way. How about those who voted for Biden/Harris because they were with the #MeToo movement? It is very likely they will change their mind. How about those who voted for Biden/Harris because they felt Trump’s border policy was a human rights abuse. No doubt they will change their mind. How about many of the minorities who bought into the idea that Biden/Harris would improve their lives? We are going to have massive inflation, high unemployment and we will be swamped with immigrants taking low wage jobs. These four years will be a disaster for the poor and many of them will also change their mind. They are going to reap calamity. Also look at the rod they are wielding in fury accusing Trump supporters of insurrection, talking about reprogramming 75 million Americans, threatening to quarantine the entire state of Florida, or punish Georgia. This rod of “cancel culture” will be broken. MLB, NBA and NFL ratings are already down 40% across the board. Biden claimed he was far more experienced than Trump and would be much better at foreign diplomacy. How is that working out? War between Israel and Iran has already reignited, the exit from Afghanistan was a complete failure and humiliation, and now China appears to be emboldened to attack Taiwan.

Proverbs 22:9-16 The Sluggard says there is a lion outside

9

The generous will themselves be blessed,

for they share their food with the poor.


In the US the media and powers that be have tried to present a narrative of white versus all the various shades of brown, black, red and yellow. If you are part of the 1% you don’t want a 99% vs 1%, you would much rather have the 99% fighting among themselves. Generally it is 50/50 between white and all the various minorities. Divide and conquer is the strategy. However, in my experience it is never about white, black, brown, yellow or red. It is about some people being generous and some aren’t.

10

Drive out the mocker, and out goes strife;

quarrels and insults are ended.

Trump was mocked for four years. If you don’t know what “the mocker” is just consider how the media, tech platforms and comedians treated Trump. You might think this is how comedians and the press treat all politicians. Really? There is a whole lot of material they could be using against Biden and Harris which they aren’t. I think many felt that Trump was the source, if you remove him from office we will get rid of strife, quarrels and insults. Well that didn’t happen, instead it has intensified by a factor of ten. Trump never suggested deprogramming 60 million Americans who voted for Hillary, many Democrats have done that. Trump never required the military to take a loyalty oath Biden is doing that. Trump never suggested quarantining an entire state, Biden did that. Trump never encouraged punishing a state for passing voting integrity laws, Biden did that. Biden is the one who left 15,000 Americans and 100,000 Afghanis behind for the Taliban, Trump never would have done that.

11

One who loves a pure heart and who speaks with grace

will have the king for a friend.

Love one another, keep on loving one another. Satan is the one who is sowing hate, the best way to stand against that is to love with a pure heart and speak with grace. Don’t stoop to their level.

12

The eyes of the Lord keep watch over knowledge,

but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.

CNN has been unfaithful and their words are being frustrated by the expose from Project Veritas. The two impeachments of Trump were based on the testimony from the unfaithful and their words have been frustrated. January 6th was a false flag event and Revolver news is doing a wonderful job of exposing that. Every day more and more people discover the media is lying to them. Their ratings are dropping and more and more people are waking up to the lies and the deceit. At this point Biden's base of support is around 30% of the country, that is lower than Nixon was when he resigned.

13

The sluggard says, “There’s a lion outside!

I’ll be killed in the public square!”

Why does it say sluggard and not coward? Too many are just too lazy to get the truth. They get scared because the Cancel Culture screams and shouts. But they are a paper lion. I went to a “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington DC and there were Antifa there to attack and threaten us. The problem was they were outnumbered 5,000 to 1. They were a paper lion. After that I went to another rally in Atlanta and this time they were better organized. They were dressed for battle, all carrying bats, they had trash can lids for shields, they had helmets. But they were still outnumbered 200:1, not only so but many in the rally were also prepared and were carrying guns to protect the crowd (Georgia, unlike Washington DC is open carry). The people who are “scared” of the “cancel culture” are sluggards. If they would actually do a little research before they listen to these thugs they would realize they were a paper tiger before bowing to them. MLB took a 40% hit to their ratings as a result of bowing to the Cancel Culture.

The mouth of an adulterous woman is a deep pit;

a man who is under the Lord’s wrath falls into it.

Wow! Why are some people deceived by these liars in the media along with the corrupt politicians? They are under the Lord’s wrath! To my understanding what is happening is like refining silver. All the dross is gathering together to be removed by the Lord. If you are under the Lord’s wrath you will fall for Pelosi, and CNN and the Squad.

Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,

but the rod of discipline will drive it far away.

Look at who the most foolish ones are, they are “children”. When I was in Atlanta I could see the twenty or so Antifa who wanted to start a fight, and I could see the thousands who were there for the Stop the Steal rally. The Antifa were all in their twenties, foolish children. The men in the rally with the rifles looked like men, some were cops, some were military. Less than a hundred yards away was a gang of thugs with baseball bats and I didn’t have the slightest fear, in fact there were women with small children and babies in the crowd and no one was the slightest bit nervous. There were real warriors defending the perimeter.

One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth

and one who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty.

Biden’s policies do both. Opening the border guarantees a large supply of cheap labor, that will oppress the poor in America. His $6 trillion in government packages is gifts to the rich. He will bring this country to poverty.

The Two Witnesses

John 1:7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.

John the Baptist, who was Elijah who is to come, came to testify concerning the light that through him all might believe. This is what the two witnesses do during the tribulation.

John 5:39 You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me,

The scriptures, the law and the prophets, testify concerning Jesus. They are the two witnesses.

Luke 9:30 Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. 31 They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem.

His departure -- his crucifixion, death, burial, resurrection and ascension? Yes, all of that is spoken of in the law and prophets. How about the way of salvation? Yes. These are our two witnesses, not men. The men who deliver this are irrelevant. What is a witness, the only thing that is relevant is what they witnessed, not who they are.

Revelation 11:3 And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”

To prophesy means to speak forth, to speak for, and to speak beforehand. A press secretary is a "prophet" for the president. The witnesses are simply the press secretary for Jesus.

Revelation 12:4 Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment he was born. 5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.” And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne. 6 The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.
