Ezekiel 7 The End Has Come -- An Unheard of disaster

1 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says to the land of Israel: “‘The end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land! 3 The end is now upon you, and I will unleash my anger against you. I will judge you according to your conduct and repay you for all your detestable practices.

Seven times the Lord says the end has come and it is the end to different things. This is referring to detestable practices and to the four corners of the land. First, the Ever Green Ship grounded in the Suez Canal and is now being held by the Egyptians. The word is that this ship was involved in trafficking of human beings and perhaps children. Seizing that ship is a sign to the world that the end has come for those involved in this detestable practice. Second, the Catholic church recently held a big conference including the Pope with prominent pro abortionists and pagans. The apostasy is out in the open, in your face, for all to see. Third, Maricopa county is doing a full forensic audit of 2.1 million ballots. The Democrats have fought tooth and nail to prevent this audit so it is a good bet they have something to hide. If this audit reverses the outcome for Arizona it will trigger audits in Wisconsin, Georgia, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Fourth, there is a rumor that the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan was from the white hats leaving the CIA and their drug operation in Afghanistan stranded. Fifth we can see the inflation already hitting the US and incredibly irresponsible spending bills that will bankrupt this country and send us into hyper inflation. Sixth, we are already seeing war break out between Iran and Israel and we see Russia, China and Iran joining together for joint operations. Seventh, we see vaccine mandates or else you are fired, forced vaccinations in Australia, and in France you can't enter a grocery store without a vaccine passport.

4 I will not look on you with pity; I will not spare you. I will surely repay you for your conduct and for the detestable practices among you. “‘Then you will know that I am the Lord.’

This is the second time He has promised to repay them for their detestable practices. This word is sure. The only salvation is in the Lord’s blood. Repent for your fornication, your fraud and your apostasy.

5 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “‘Disaster! Unheard-of disaster! See, it comes! 6 The end has come! The end has come!

You can see this end coming if you only look up. For many years people thought the story of Noah’s flood was exaggeration. No one had ever heard of a worldwide event where it would rain for 40 days and 40 nights. No one had ever heard of a flood that could go over the tops of the highest mountains. But then we discovered the town at the bottom of the Black Sea that was destroyed at the end of the last ice age. People realized that could have been where Noah was from. Later we discovered evidence of huge floods that came out of the tallest mountains in India and the US at the end of the last ice age. No one could explain it, they theorized great ice dams had collapsed, but once again there was evidence of this Biblical flood at the time of Noah. Then they discovered a huge thousand foot high chevrons in Madagascar caused by a giant tsunami also at the end of the last ice age and we discovered craters on the bottom of the Indian ocean from an asteroid. We then realized a giant asteroid hit the ocean at the end of the last ice age vaporizing a huge amount of water which went into stratosphere, circled the globe and then returned to earth as very hot rain. This could have been the cause of the forty days and forty nights of rain. So we realized we were not so smart, we thought this was impossible but there it was in the rock record, undeniable. However, an asteroid hitting the earth does not rise to “unheard of disaster”. No what really stood out was the extinction of hundreds of species on all six continents, animals that might have been domesticated, big herd animals that could plow the land and provide transportation and be useful in war. The exception was 13 large domesticated animals from Mesopotamia, apart from them the only other survivor of this flood was the Llama. It was as though someone had a barn full of these 13 animals (cows, pigs, sheep, goats and horses) and saved them all. Now that is something that no one has ever heard of and yet there are 200 independent flood myths of this event with uncanny similarities including references to a man with a boat who saved the animals. The oldest Chinese character for boat is composed of the words 8 and souls. Why would 8 souls be your word for boat unless you are referring to Noah, his three sons and their wives? Now that is truly an unheard of disaster that even if it were told you you would not believe. Still it would be hard to shock us today, we are familiar with plagues and asteroids, apocalyptic fires, tsunamis, nuclear disasters, etc. In fact the only thing that is truly unheard of today would be the rapture. Just as Israel leaving Egypt was a disaster to the Egyptians, the rapture at the end of the age will be a disaster to the world, an unheard of disaster. Don’t you love the way the Lord has these double entendres? No one can talk about the rapture without being ridiculed, as a result very few people do talk about it and therefore it is “unheard of” disaster.

Another point he makes is that Lazarus was in the grave for four days and this has been 4 years since the Revelation 12 sign. He thinks that the Lord may return on Sept 23/24 because that would be the four year anniversary of the Revelation 12 sign (not the only reason, he sees very strong confirmation in the "predictive programming" from Hollywood)

The interesting thing about that day is that to my knowledge it isn't a "known" day. So it may be that when the Lord says "no one knows the day" he meant it wasn't a Jewish holiday, it wasn't a known day.

Ezekiel 7:7-11 "Doom has burst forth, the rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed".

7 Doom has come upon you, upon you who dwell in the land. The time has come! The day is near! There is panic, not joy, on the mountains.

The mountains refer to the elites. There is panic right now for the elites. When you have a complete collapse in the economy and world order it is always the elites whose heads get put on a spike. Why are they so desperate to start a race war between whites and everyone else? Whites make up 50% of the US, if 49% of the US is fighting with the other 49% then the 2% might be able to escape notice. But now we can see it, this is so obvious even Charles Barkley pointed it out. They are so desperate they want to convince you that a cop who saved a girl from being stabbed to death only days after another girl was stabbed to death was somehow wrong for shooting the girl with the knife. What is wokeism, it demonstrates the panic among the mountains, among the multinational corporations, among MLB, among athletes, among pundits, they are all being cancelled. The vaccine mandate in NYC is evidence of panic, correction officers, teachers and the military are all rejecting this mandate. The Afghanistan fiasco has sent Biden's approval plummeting. Cuomo is out, Newsom is being recalled, they are in a panic.

8 I am about to pour out my wrath on you and spend my anger against you. I will judge you according to your conduct and repay you for all your detestable practices.

Wokeism is a detestable practice. They pontificate about how you have to listen to and believe every woman, ignoring the Bible’s requirement of having at least two witnesses before bringing a charge against an elder. With Kavanaugh one woman from twenty years previously without any specifics or details that can be verified, but with Cuomo or Biden they have 3, 7, even 10 witnesses and they ignore it. It is virtue signalling and it is hypocrisy. These pedophile rings and human trafficking rings are detestable. CRT is detestable.

9 I will not look on you with pity; I will not spare you. I will repay you for your conduct and for the detestable practices among you.
“‘Then you will know that it is I the Lord who strikes you.

What is the point of having these public confessions of being guilty because you are white? You want people to take pity on you? It is pathetic, like Megan Markle giving us a sob story even though she lives in a mansion, is a royal, and had the most magnificent wedding anyone could ever imagine. Still she is “oppressed”. Do you honestly think the Lord or anyone else is going to look on her with pity?

10 “‘See, the day! See, it comes! Doom has burst forth, the rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed!

Wow, one wonderful expression after another! It is like a combination thrown by a prizefighter. “Doom has burst forth!” It sounds like a dam has burst. I can see that the audit in Maricopa county could be such an event, it could expose corruption that cannot be ignored and will cause all the other states to do an audit as well. I can see that the Ever Green ship could be such an event, perhaps from testimony given by Ghislain Maxwell. I have heard that her testimony is thousands and thousands of pages at this point. I could see that the new variants in Covid from India, South Africa, and Brazil could be such an event. As a virus spreads it mutates, if you are practicing social distancing and using thermometers the least virulent strains will be the most successful, in this way it will become similar to the common cold. However, the most terrifying places are India, South Africa and Brazil because they have the worst slums in the world. In a slum the most virulent strain will be the most successful. As the strains mutate the vaccines we have will become less and less effective. I could also see forcing Americans to pay for abortions around the world could be the issue that we have a civil war over. Doom has burst forth in Afghanistan as we just armed the Taliban with billions of dollars of state of the art weapons. All of these events could be the “doom has burst forth” but what really comes to mind is the 3 Gorges dam. If that dam bursts then it will truly be doom to the world. The Yangtze river basin represents the biggest manufacturing economy in the world. It would be wiped out. The electricity from the Dam generates the digital currency the world is trying to switch to, that also would be destroyed. Such an event would be so devastating to China it is hard to predict how they would react. But “doom has burst forth” is probably the best way to describe what will happen. Then “the rod has budded”! Wow! This is a reference to Aaron’s budding rod, it shows which of the 12 tribes God chose, it was a type of the outstanding resurrection. The first rapture will be such a resurrection, it will be “the rod has budded”. “Arrogance has blossomed”. Isn’t that true, can’t you see that? If you can’t see that arrogance has blossomed among Biden’s administration, among the mainstream media and among the tech giants then your eyes are closed. We have news anchors saying it is no longer necessary to be fair and balanced in their assessment of the news. Tech giants are censoring people at their whim, even the President of the United States. Biden is ruling by fiat, signing executive orders without any regard to the law, to the will of the people, or to the constitution. Arrogance has blossomed.

11 Violence has arisen, a rod to punish the wicked. None of the people will be left, none of that crowd—none of their wealth, nothing of value.

Very true. Black Lives Matter has had close to 600 violent riots in the last twelve months. They justify looting, rioting, and even when they get what they want as they did with Chauvin trial they are still calling to “burn it all down”. All of these things are a warning of what is about to happen.

John 11:1-4 This is not unto death but that the Son of God may be glorified thereby

The story of Lazarus depicts the rapture from a different perspective than Matthew, Mark or Luke.

1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

A lot of ideas as to the meaning of Bethany. House of obedience, house of affliction, house of sheep? However if we read this chapter we can see that Bethany is a picture of the church. They are praying, they are worshipping, they are serving, and they are a testimony of the Lord who is the resurrection. They are all brothers and sisters.

2 And it was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

They are also deplorables. If you remember the story the pharisee is taken aback that Jesus doesn’t know what manner of woman this is that is touching his feet. She was forgiven, she poured out the costly ointment on the Lord, and that ointment depicted something a bride would give to her betrothed. So we also see they depict the redeemed of the Lord, the bride of Christ. But we see this from a different perspective, we see that they have paid the price, they have poured themselves out on the Lord.

3 The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

This is an interesting prayer. If you are praying for someone who is sick do you pray “Lord this is he whom you love”? But here we see the true “prosperity gospel”. They poured out the costly ointment on the Lord, they have a relationship with the Lord, just like James says, when they pray the Lord hears.

4 But when Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby.

Why was this man born blind? So that the works of God may be made manifest. Why did Lazarus get sick and die? So that the Son of God may be glorified thereby. At the end of the age we should look at everything that is going on and realize this is so that the Son of God may be glorified thereby. Why is our government corrupt, so corrupt that there is no way for us to deal with it? This is not unto death but so that the Son of God may be glorified thereby.

We need a different perspective. The things that happen to us are an opportunity to allow the Christ within us to be manifested. This is the hope of glory, Christ in me.

John 11:5-9 Did the Lord just confirm this brother's prophecy about Sept 23/24?

5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. 6 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he abode at that time two days in the place where he was. 7 Then after this he saith to the disciples, Let us go into Judaea again. 8 The disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

This is the situation we are in right now with the censorship, false flag attacks (the phony Whitmer attack organized by the FBI and evidence that the January 6th riot was also a false flag event organized by the deep state). We have people who have been in prison since January 6th and haven’t even been charged with a crime. That essentially put an end to the Stop the Steal rallies. Since that time the Lord has been outside of Judah (the lawgiver in this case signifying Washington DC).

9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day?

What? There are 12 hours in the day during the Equinox, all other days there isn’t. Is this a clue as to the day that Lazarus is raised? Later we learn that the Passover of the Jews is at hand, the Passover takes place after the Vernal Equinox. According to the Old Testament the Vernal Equinox is the end of the year, Passover is in the first month of the year, immediately after the equinox. The feast of trumpets takes place immediately after the Autumnal Equinox. The Fall equinox is September 22, 2021 and we just had someone giving us a prophecy that the evening of September 23rd and morning of September 24th is when Revelation 12: 4 Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. Takes place (Post 1557)

John 11:9b-16 If a man walk in the day he stumbleth not

The evening of the 23rd or morning of the 24th of September is the 17th of Elul. That is the day that Germany passed the Nuremberg laws in 1935. "In 1935, Nazi Germany passed the Nuremberg laws, a set of racist policies directed primarily against Jews. The Nazis blamed the Jews for poverty, unemployment, and the loss of World War I. Jews were banned from any professional jobs and Jewish stores were boycotted. Anyone with even one Jewish grandparent was stripped of German citizenship, with no basic rights. Within 10 years, the Nazi genocidal machine had swept through eastern Europe, leaving 6 million Jews murdered."

if you had the rapture and this cataclysmic shower of meteors on the Earth on this day it would be a fitting response from God. "Doom has burst forth, the rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed"

With this as the context let's consider what the Lord said:

John 11:9b-14 If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. 10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him. 11 These things spake he: and after this he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus is fallen asleep; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. 12 The disciples therefore said unto him, Lord, if he is fallen asleep, he will recover. 13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they thought that he spake of taking rest in sleep. 14 Then Jesus therefore said unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

The Lord is coming to "awake Lazarus out of sleep". Why the play on words? We are told repeatedly that we need to wake up and watch. At the Lord's second coming the dead in Christ will rise first, but also the church will need to wake up. The Lord's coming we need to wake up, and He will rapture us who are alive and remain as well as those who have died.

15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

This verse reminds me of what Paul said in Philippians where he said that the things which happened to him worked out for salvation for our sakes. The rapture of the saints will be a tremendous help for any Christians who are left behind to believe. Think of what that will do for all those believers on the earth who are not raptured, it should help them to believe.

16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

People disparage Thomas but he gives us a great sense of what is happening at this time. What we are seeing today does not make sense to most people. You have an experimental vaccine, there are some risks with it, OK, but people can make informed decisions and in many cases it could be the best option for them. But the government doesn't allow informed decisions, it censors all debate, is opaque with the data and ignores all protocols for approving a vaccine. On top of all that they are mandating the vaccine, something that is extremely unusual, even though the risks from this vaccine are much worse than other vaccines that were cancelled because they are too risky. People are getting fired, fined, and prevented from buying anything if they are unvaccinated. Now if this was happening in China or Russia or Iran we could chalk it up to totalitarian dictators run amok. But this is happening worldwide, Australia, France, the US, Canada. The urgency is incredible. This has caused many people to severely question and doubt the government. We have caught them in numerous lies and falsehoods. What is going on? Some Christians see this as the "Mark of the Beast" even though it is quite clear that regardless of how similar it may be it is not "The Mark of the Beast", at least not yet. The antichrist has not been revealed, we don't have one world government and no one is required to worship the beast in order to get the mark. Also, technically it isn't a mark. So how do you explain the entire world going crazy?

Watch the video on post 1557. If he is correct then all the world leaders are aware of this object, they know when it will hit, and they are not revealing this because there is nothing they could do to stop it and creating a panic with the hysteria would only make things worse.

They know the only thing that can keep society sliding into anarchy and a barter system is if they impose this Covid19 vaccine. Covid stands for Certificate of Vaccine ID, 19 stands for the letters A. I. It is a computer system for keeping track of every person. With this they can impose a digital currency and prevent any bartering.

John 11:17-28 Jesus is here and is calling us

17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.

This verse reminds me of the Wizard of Oz. Dorothy lands in Oz, her house falls on the wicked witch, and they need the coroner to certify that the witch is “really, really dead”. If you had been dead for 4 minutes then maybe you weren’t really dead, if you were dead for four hours then maybe you weren’t really, really dead. But dead and buried for four days? He is really, really dead.

18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off; 19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.

This is the situation today. The church in the USA is the closest neighbor to Jerusalem in Israel. Trump was virtually the only one in the world willing to recognize Jerusalem. If you look solely at the actions then the administration of Obama and now Biden is very much not “nigh unto Jerusalem” but rather much friendlier to Iran, Afghanistan and anyone wishing to do harm to Israel. Trump’s “loss” in 2020 was just as much a loss to Israel as it was to the deplorables. Martha and Mary represent the deplorables, two women who are seemingly powerless other than the fact that Jesus loves them and will answer their prayers.

20 Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary still sat in the house.

Great picture here of today. I went to many of these rallies and prayer meetings in Washington DC, Atlanta and Harrisberg. They were filled with Christians, but they were “Martha”, those who are running around and doing things. Meanwhile there are still those Christians who are worshipping the Lord in the church meetings oblivious to what is going on with these others at the rallies.

21 Martha therefore said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 22 And even now I know that, whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.

Our relationship to Jesus is one where we can talk to Him but at the same time we never forget that He is Lord. Martha is walking close to the line here, “where were you Jesus?” almost blaming the Lord for her brother’s death. But she immediately catches herself and is “you can do all things”. This is not the prayer of a “great spiritual giant” who has had a chance to rewrite his own biography. Nope, this is the truth. This is what it really was like. No one understood how this was all going to play out and if they say they did they are not being honest. People saw Trump as Jehu, that was true. People saw Clinton as Jezebel, also true. But did anyone know on January 6th that we would be here in August? No. Over the last eight months I have heard people becoming depressed that nothing is happening, and that Lazarus death is a foregone conclusion. On the other hand the situation has continued to grow like the belly of a pregnant woman. The insistence that this baby is going to come out and nothing will stop it is also quite obvious.

23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. 24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

I also saw this. Some of us spoke faith -- trust in the Lord, He is the God of resurrection, this is of the Lord, the battle is the Lord’s. Every time we said this we got an amen from everyone else. Kind of like the father of the epileptic boy “I believe, Lord help my unbelief”.

25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, though he die, yet shall he live; 26 and whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die. Believest thou this? 27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, even he that cometh into the world.

This is funny because it is true. When confronted she falls back on the foundation, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, He is Lord, He is my savior. But what about in this situation, today? Do you believe that Jesus Christ who conquered death two thousand years ago is going to do that again today, in your life? Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the hope of glory in you? I love what Mike Lindell has said repeatedly, he thanks the Lord for the election fraud because he sees that this is an opportunity for the Lord to be glorified.

28 And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Teacher is here, and calleth thee.

This is wonderful. When you are in this battle you realize it takes the whole body, you need help. I listen to Steve Bannon who gives three hours of news everyday. He was on the forefront of this battle and was bringing in various people every day to testify what they were doing. It is like hearing different commanders from different theaters in the war give a report. It soon became apparent that the battle was being waged by Christians, by believers and then it became apparent it would not be good enough if we only had Martha (the serving ones) we also need Mary (the worshipping ones). The saints who are praying and worshipping the Lord are like the air support that we need. Soon Bannon was opening his newscast with rabbis and pastors giving a word of prayer. This was a game changer because Christians worship the Lord Jesus and they follow Him, they don’t follow Trump or some other man. We need to see that the Lord Jesus is here and is calling us.

So this section in John gives us a different perspective and may explain the 2 days that the Lord waited and the four days that Lazarus was in the grave.

From Adam to Jesus is about 4 thousand years and to God that is like four days that Adam was in the tomb. According to the book of Ephesians we were dead in our trespasses and sins when we heard the gospel.

As for waiting for two days that could refer to the age of grace and it will be two thousand years before the Lord comes, raises the dead and we are raptured.

Ezekiel 7:12-27 The time has come! The Day has arrived!

12 The time has come! The day has arrived! Let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller grieve,
for my wrath is on the whole crowd.

If I buy a house or a car I am going to “rejoice”, it is new, it is exciting, I want to enjoy it. However, if I am taken captive then I cannot rejoice, cannot enjoy it, because I am being taken as a slave. On the other hand if I have to sell my car or my house to pay off my debts I could feel sad about losing it, but no need, since you are being taken as a slave you would have lost it anyway.

13 The seller will not recover the property that was sold—as long as both buyer and seller live. For the vision concerning the whole crowd will not be reversed. Because of their sins, not one of them will preserve their life.

There is no jubilee year for them to hope in. The Lord’s second coming is a jubilee, it is when our inheritance is restored to us. But that is for those who trusted in the Lord. Noah’s flood was a jubilee year for Noah, after the flood he basically could inherit the whole earth. But that is only true if you are in the ark, the Lord is talking to those who are not in the ark. They did not accept the gospel of salvation when it was preached to them.

14 “‘They have blown the trumpet, they have made all things ready, but no one will go into battle, for my wrath is on the whole crowd.

The believers are blowing the trumpet, telling people to wake up! The Lord has made all things ready, but none of those who remain after the rapture would respond. Courage is an expression of faith, hope and love. If you have no faith, hope or love then you will be a coward and afraid to go into battle. You trust that as long as you are with the majority, with the crowd, then you will be ok. You are not walking by faith, you are walking by sight.

15 Outside is the sword; inside are plague and famine. Those in the country will die by the sword; those in the city will be devoured by famine and plague.

It used to be we would see what was going on in some other part of the world and think how terrible it was. Now we see it happening in our country. Our border is thrown open and people are pouring in. Whether they are with the cartel or are just desperate for a better life the reality is to get here they had to survive the sword and no doubt they will use the sword to continue to survive. As for the plague we like to think that after a year it is fading. I don’t think so, I think we have three new deadly strains, worse than the first strain. There will be no way to contain it in the cities. So stay in the city and the plague and famine get you, go to the country and marauding gangs with guns and machetes get you.

16 The fugitives who escape will flee to the mountains. Like doves of the valleys, they will all moan, each for their own sins.

This reminds me of Lot escaping Sodom for the mountains. The US is clearly and unequivocally becoming Sodom and Gomorrah. By executive order everyone must submit to the laws of Sodom and Gomorrah.

17 Every hand will go limp; every leg will be wet with urine. 18 They will put on sackcloth and be clothed with terror. Every face will be covered with shame, and every head will be shaved.

Can you imagine the shame if you were a Christian and you had gotten involved with the apostasy, mocked and ridiculed Christians who were warning about the Lord’s coming and it was time to wake up, and you are left behind? What if you were a bishop or cardinal, or some other self important religious person? Your face will be covered with shame.

19 “‘They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be treated as a thing unclean. Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord’s wrath. It will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs, for it has caused them to stumble into sin.

Say goodbye to the US dollar. Surely you can see that. I read that the debt per taxpayer is now $800,000. I know that 80% of Americans would have no hope in paying that off, which means the US is bankrupt. We have financial obligations that we will not be able to pay. All those countries lending us money (buying our bonds) know this. All they have to do is dump them on the market resulting in interest rates to spike to push us over the edge.

20 They took pride in their beautiful jewelry and used it to make their detestable idols. They made it into vile images; therefore I will make it a thing unclean for them. 21 I will give their wealth as plunder to foreigners and as loot to the wicked of the earth, who will defile it. 22 I will turn my face away from the people, and robbers will desecrate the place I treasure. They will enter it and will defile it.

People are so foolish. If you do not fear the Lord you are a fool. Disrespect Him and He will totally and completely destroy you in every way imaginable. Disrespect His people, His bride, and be prepared for the fire of hell.

23 “‘Prepare chains! For the land is full of bloodshed, and the city is full of violence. 24 I will bring the most wicked of nations to take possession of their houses.

Today the most wicked of nations is China, Russia, Afghanistan, Iran, etc.

I will put an end to the pride of the mighty, and their sanctuaries will be desecrated.

Say goodbye to these Denominational churches where the elites go. The Lord will put an end to the pride of the US.

25 When terror comes, they will seek peace in vain. 26 Calamity upon calamity will come, and rumor upon rumor.

This is what wokeism is all about, rumor upon rumor. Find something that someone said ten years ago and bring terror on them for it. Social media is a platform for spreading rumor upon rumor. The two impeachments, the Steel dossier, these were all based on rumors that were false. So, as you have done it will be done to you. With what judgement you judge you shall be judged.

They will go searching for a vision from the prophet, priestly instruction in the law will cease, the counsel of the elders will come to an end.

Now that is funny. The people with a vision and with priestly instruction and with counsel from our elders, these are the ones who are being held in derision. Once they are taken away then people will seek for them but will not find. They didn’t appreciate what they had until it was gone.

27 The king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with despair, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. I will deal with them according to their conduct, and by their own standards I will judge them. “‘Then they will know that I am the Lord.’”

By their own standard! What standard is that? You only need one woman to accuse Kavanaugh or ten women are not enough to accuse Cuomo? Trump is guilty of nepotism even though his kids are not profiting while he is president yet Biden’s kid is getting tens of millions of dollars because Biden is vice president and now president. Biden passes stringent laws concerning guns that apply to everyone but his son. Chauvin is “guilty, guilty, guilty” on three counts that everyone thought were mutually exclusive while OJ is innocent? What kind of sliding, slippery standard is this?

Matthew 14:1-13 -- The Birthday party from Hell.

1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus, 2 and he said to his attendants, “This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

For the believers the Lord’s ministry began with John baptizing Him into the death waters and raising Him up in a type. But for those who are reserved for the fiery judgement of Hell the Lord’s ministry began with them murdering John and seeing the Lord raise him from the dead. The Old Testament prophesied that before the Lord came Elijah would come to prepare the way (Malachi 4:5). Jesus told us that John the Baptist was Elijah for those who could receive it (Matt 11:14). Then at the end of this age we are told there will be two witnesses and they will also be killed and when the Lord raises them from the dead it will signify the beginning of their judgement. Many think that that the two witnesses will be Moses and Elijah.

3 Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, 4 for John had been saying to him: “It is not lawful for you to have her.” 5 Herod wanted to kill John, but he was afraid of the people, because they considered John a prophet. 6 On Herod’s birthday the daughter of Herodias danced for the guests and pleased Herod so much 7 that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.8 Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.” 9 The king was distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he ordered that her request be granted 10 and had John beheaded in the prison. 11 His head was brought in on a platter and given to the girl, who carried it to her mother.12 John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.

The birthday party from hell. Again, there is a very interesting correlation with the end of the age. When the two witnesses are killed it says that the people on Earth give gifts to one another because these two witnesses troubled them by telling them to repent of their sins.

13 When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick. 15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.” 16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.” 17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered. 18 “Bring them here to me,” he said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

So the timeline on this chapter is very strange. The chapter tells us the end at the beginning. The timeline goes from verse 3 straight to 21 and then verse 1 and 2 is Herod’s response. When you are contemplating the path of sin you should be aware of the end of that choice at the very beginning. Also, the Lord’s ministry was to His believers, but it was also a declaration of the coming judgement to those who belong to Satan. What is the 5th seal? We see under the altar the blood of those who have been martyred and they are crying out “how long O Lord will you not judge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” This all began with this beheading of John. This is why I tell the BLM movement, you should allow the Lord to train you, otherwise you will stumble and fall.

22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, 24 and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.

The war has started. In chapter 13 the Lord talked about being trained to stand against the enemy. In this chapter the war is on. I have heard some say that Elijah was wrong in talking about Herod’s sins. I can’t find that anywhere in the Bible. The main old testament action of Elijah was to stand against Jezebel. Then the main action John the Baptist took was to stand against Herod. Finally, at the end of the age the account of the two witnesses is this:

Revelation 11 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and one said, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. 2 And the court which is without the temple leave without, and measure it not; for it hath been given unto the nations: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. 3 And I will give unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. 4 These are the two olive trees and the two candlesticks, standing before the Lord of the earth. 5 And if any man desireth to hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth and devoureth their enemies; and if any man shall desire to hurt them, in this manner must he be killed. 6 These have the power to shut the heaven, that it rain not during the days of their prophecy: and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they shall desire.

This is why we think it is Moses and Elijah because this is what these two did.

7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that cometh up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their dead bodies lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. 9 And from among the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations do men look upon their dead bodies three days and a half, and suffer not their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb. 10 And they that dwell on the earth rejoice over them, and make merry; and they shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwell on the earth.

So this is what they do, they measure the temple, act as a light in the darkness, and war with the Beast.

11 And after the three days and a half the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them that beheld them. 12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they went up into heaven in the cloud; and their enemies beheld them. 13 And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell; and there were killed in the earthquake seven thousand persons: and the rest were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

When the world sees them rise they know their judgement has come. This is what Herod said of the Lord’s ministry. The demons know who He is and they know that His coming means they will be judged.

The theory is that this object will strike the Earth with a meteor shower on September 23/24th and it will be so catastrophic that all the world leaders are in a panic. This is why they are forcing the vaccine and the passport. They want to be able to maintain control after this event.

The date and time is stamped into Hollywood movies and TV shows so that after the event they can say they knew about it but didn't want to create a panic and mass hysteria. Maybe not the greatest decision for those killed but for those who survive they are now "better off".

It is also theorized that this is what the Bible refers to when it says that after the man child is caught up to heaven the fallen angels are cast out to the earth.

Ezekiel 21:1-15 -- Everything is wrapped up for the slaughter

1 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel, 3 And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.

This word of judgement is towards the holy places and towards Israel and Jerusalem. I understand Jerusalem as referring to the US because for the last 400 years, ever since the Mayflower compact, the people of this country have a covenant with God to make the US the new Jerusalem. Now the judgement is that the righteous and the wicked will be cut off. That is weird. The judgement is not towards the wicked or the righteous but towards the holy places in both the US and Israel. Yet their judgement is that the Lord will draw forth His sword from the sheath and cut off the wicked and the righteous from Israel and the US. This sounds like the Lord’s story about sending forth angels to harvest the wheat and the tares. They are cut off and the wheat is taken to the barn, the tares are tossed in the fire. Yet when that takes place it will be a judgement on those who are behind. Suppose you were ridiculing those who were warning of the Lord’s imminent return? Suppose you were working with or supporting those who were exposed to be the wicked?

4 Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the south to the north: 5 That all flesh may know that I the Lord have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more.

He doesn’t say that every person will be cut off but rather that He will cut every person off. However, this event will let every person on earth know that this is His intention and also that His sword will not return to its sheath anymore, in other words it is the day of the Lord, the beginning of the tribulation. Again, this sounds a lot like the rapture at the beginning of the tribulation.

6 Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of thy loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes. 7 And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt answer, For the tidings; because it cometh: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith the Lord God.

Sigh, yes, this definitely sounds like He is talking about the great tribulation at the end of the age.

8 Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished: 10 It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth the rod of my son, as every tree.

OK, so He really wants us to take a look at this sword. First, not only is it sharpened, it is also furbished meaning it sparkles in the sun to terrorize those that will be judged. Second, it makes no distinction between common thieves and those holding the sceptre. This is not the sword of man, this is not Sydney Powell's lawsuit, this is a sword that comes from God, from the heavens and that sparkles as the sun. When this meteor shower strikes it won't care if you are rich or poor, powerful or powerless.

11 And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.

Look at these lawyers: Rudolph Giuliani, Sydney Powell and Lin Wood. They are slayers. In 2018 the law was sharpened, if you can prove foreign countries were involved then you can freeze the assets of all involved. Dominion, Google, Facebook, Twitter, the Mainstream media, and a whole lot of people could have their assets frozen. Second, it is viewed as treason, that is even more serious than a felony and could be tried in a military tribunal. The US military seized the servers in Germany. If you wipe computers in the US but they communicated with the seized servers the evidence will be there, not only of the first crime but also of the second. But this is a human sword where man's law courts can corrupt the verdict, this sword has been given into the hand of the slayer. These demons will dance over your dead body.

12 Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon thy thigh.

Why is it that they are doing this? The corruption is not just about the Presidential election, this has been going on for years and a whole host of people will be brought down because of it. So think about that, how many elections will be overturned? How many corrupt individuals will be exposed? What we have learned is that the corruption is so deep it is everywhere. They are lawless and they mock God.

13 Because it is a trial, and what if the sword contemn even the rod? it shall be no more, saith the Lord God.

The power of these government officials is likened to a rod, a piece of wood, whereas the law is likened to a sharpened, glittering sword. They can talk a good game, but if this is me I put my money on the slayer with the sword in his hand rather than the braggart with a wooden stick. This audit has the power to condemn the rod, condemn those in authority. This glittering sword will not only remove the righteous and the wicked, it will also contemn human government. No one is "too big to fail" before God.

14 Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands together. and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which entereth into their privy chambers. Yes, this sword has been doubled a third time! You have

Giuliani’s team, Lin Wood’s lawsuit, and Sydney Powell’s lawsuits. These are three different and independent teams and their attack is often doubled in more than one state. Great men will be slain! Right now Biden, Harris, Clinton, Pelosi, Feinstein, Schumer, Cuomo, Kemp, Kerry and others have been either named or insinuated. This sword will enter into the most secret rooms, the very hidden places where we will find the evidence of this crime. Mike Lindell has revealed that the NSA has tracked all the election fraud that took place through the internet. The NSA can track phone calls, emails, any electronic communication. Afghanistan and all the corruption of the CIA turning that country into a drug supplier for their corrupt enterprise. Epstein and his pedophile island, there is a three fold judgement here.

15 I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter.

They have obviously fainted. If you were innocent you would be front and center of the camera claiming your innocence and fighting the slander. Instead they are completely silent while they are desperately trying to wash the blood off their hands like Macbeth’s wife. We are all so eager to see this resolved but the Lord enjoys these long, slow judgements as those who are guilty are terrified. They have slowly woken up to the fact that the military has all the evidence and has been on their case for years. Everything is wrapped up for the slaughter.
