Exodus 12:31-49 We leave as a conquering Army

31 During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship the Lord as you have requested. 32 Take your flocks and herds, as you have said, and go. And also bless me.”

Remember this, we didn’t leave with our tails between our legs, we didn’t flee like criminals, we marched out as a victorious army led by God. We warned Pharaoh, he refused to listen, he paid the price for that arrogance. Many Christians right now are watching intently for the Lord's coming, looking at the signs. This to me is the big sign, we conquer Pharaoh and the worldly system and then leave (raptured) as a conquering army just as Jesus resurrection was the victory over death and the grave.

33 The Egyptians urged the people to hurry and leave the country. “For otherwise,” they said, “we will all die!” 34 So the people took their dough before the yeast was added, and carried it on their shoulders in kneading troughs wrapped in clothing. 35 The Israelites did as Moses instructed and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold and for clothing. 36 The Lord had made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, and they gave them what they asked for; so they plundered the Egyptians.

We left as a conquering army that had plundered them. That was our severance pay. That is where the gold and silver for the tabernacle came from. That is where we got the bronze to make the brazen altar. They paid us, but it went to the Lord. The worldly system is based on debt, currency is created when you borrow money, in a very real sense debt is what makes the world go round. In essence they create currency to represent your future labor. When you die your estate is liable for the debt you are carrying. But, what happens at the rapture, who will be responsible then? Will life insurance pay out? Definitely not, there is nothing in the contract to cover "the rapture". Mortgages, car payments and credit card debt will all be left hanging. You can go to court against those who remain, but imagine what happens if 10% of the world is raptured, 700 million people. The court system would be in total chaos. It would be decades before you could sort it out. The cost to litigate it would be too much and so most debt would be written off. There could be 35 million Americans. The average American has $90,000 in debt (mortgages, car payments, credit card payments). That is a $3 trillion dollar hit to the US financial market, but worldwide it would be double or triple that. This is not a trivial loss to the global equity market. As usual God is righteous in His judgements. They are saying that either you submit to our vaccine which will mark you as belonging to the elites or else we will kick you out because "we will all die". So then, the Lord says fine, they will all go. They are threatening to give these nano particles to all people from the youngest to the oldest and also on our food, on our herds. Everyone they threaten will be saved.

37 The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Sukkoth. There were about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children.38 Many other people went up with them, and also large droves of livestock, both flocks and herds.39 With the dough the Israelites had brought from Egypt, they baked loaves of unleavened bread. The dough was without yeast because they had been driven out of Egypt and did not have time to prepare food for themselves.

What a sight that was.

40 Now the length of time the Israelite people lived in Egypt was 430 years. 41 At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the Lord’s divisions left Egypt. 42 Because the Lord kept vigil that night to bring them out of Egypt, on this night all the Israelites are to keep vigil to honor the Lord Of the generations to come.


The Lord is very precise in keeping time, in celebrating the festivals, in every appointed day. There is a reason for that and it is prophetic. To tell everyone exactly what would happen from the very beginning, just another way we can see how awesome our God is.

43 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “These are the regulations for the Passover meal: “No foreigner may eat it. 44 Any slave you have bought may eat it after you have circumcised him,45 but a temporary resident or a hired worker may not eat it.

You have to be a believer. Circumcision is a sign of the covenant. The term “slave” here is not equivalent to what was meant by Southern slavery. You couldn’t purchase anyone until they were old enough to sign the contract themselves. The contract was not for life (unless the slave chose to not go out free), instead the contract was an agreed upon payment in return for a certain amount of labor. What we call “employees” the Bible calls slaves.

46 “It must be eaten inside the house; take none of the meat outside the house. Do not break any of the bones. 47 The whole community of Israel must celebrate it.

Remember, “not a bone of Him was broken”. All of these ordinances point us to how great our God is. Today the house of God is the church. We eat the Lord’s table where two or three are gathered together at the very least. The church life is a corporate life. This is a picture of a corporate salvation, just like the first rapture which is of the church in Philadelphia. However we see the salvation in stages, this age, the age of grace, began with the Lord's table with Jesus being our Passover feast. That was the time at which we were thrust out of Egypt. The death and resurrection of the Lord at that time as well as our baptism during this age depicts us crossing the Red sea. We have a destination, it is the good land, the coming kingdom. The key stop on this journey will be Mount Sinai, which depicts Pentecost shortly after the Lord's crucifixion. Then again, at this same time the children of Israel crossed the Jordan river. Both in the old and new testament our salvation is depicted in stages, you have seven churches in Revelation depicting the stages by which this community, the church, is saved. Likewise in the book of Numbers you see the Israelites going through stages as well where they are purified.

48 “A foreigner residing among you who wants to celebrate the Lord’s Passover must have all the males in his household circumcised; then he may take part like one born in the land. No uncircumcised male may eat it.

The term foreigner is not racist. It is about a covenant. If you don’t have a covenant with God you have no business eating this feast. Circumcision is the Old Testament sign of the covenant. In the New Testament the sign is that God has circumcised our heart with the cross of Christ. You must embrace the cross and take up your own cross if you wish to partake of this salvation. If you do not know the Lord Jesus and have not received Him as your savior then you are a stranger to the covenant and promises of God.

49 The same law applies both to the native-born and to the foreigner residing among you.” 50 All the Israelites did just what the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron. 51 And on that very day the Lord brought the Israelites out of Egypt by their divisions.

And that is the key, fear God, obey his commandments. Do exactly what the Lord commands and the Lord will bring us out when He raptures the church. The Lord is transforming us into a kingdom people, a priestly people, a people conformed to His image.

"Put on the Armor of light"

Think about Mike Lindell, he is very up front and honest about his past drug use and criminality. He has clearly repented and confessed his sins and his foundation to help others is a testimony that there are works associated with his faith, his faith is not dead.

When he was on Jimmy Kimmel's show Kimmel tried to discredit Mike's investigation into election fraud saying that Meth addicts are frequently paranoid. Mike's response was perfect, he said that if what Jimmy was saying was true then his past drug use would mean he would no longer be able to exercise his rights as a citizen and that with this one statement Kimmel was pulling the rug out from anyone who had ever abused drugs. That is the armor of light. If you try to keep your past secret it is a liability, but if you bring it into the light, confess your sins and have works worthy of repentance then you are protected with the armor of light.

Now compare this to Fauci who said that he has always advocated for having an open mind about the pandemic coming from the Wuhan lab. That isn't true. You can find story after story after story where he did everything he could to kill any suggestion of a lab origin and attempted to discredit those saying this. If Fauci had been up front and honest and confessed to being wrong it would be a minor issue, but his insistence to the contrary is a powerful motivator for others to bring out the spotlight and search because he is plainly trying to cover up something far worse than him simply being wrong. That is what it is to be clothed in darkness. As they searched they discovered that Fauci was motivated to hide the Wuhan Lab's involvement because he had funded research at that lab into the very same kind of bioweapons. He lied about this as well and did that under oath to the Senate hearing committee. Senators are calling on him to resign and even suggesting he should be tried in a criminal court and go to prison.

When you come to the Lord the very first thing the Lord demands of you is to confess your sins and deal with them. For example, simply confessing that you were a former drug addict might not be sufficient, perhaps trying to help others get free of addiction is one way the Lord would lead you to deal with your sins. By coming into the light you are also putting on the armor of light. That armor will protect you. If you do get into the warfare with evil spirits they will surely look for a way to attack and harm you. The best protection is to put on the armor of light. They will be looking for your hidden sins. Confess and repent of all your sins first, put on the armor of light.

Acts 4:1-20 -- Is it right to listen to you?

4 The priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to Peter and John while they were speaking to the people. 2 They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people, proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead. 3 They seized Peter and John and, because it was evening, they put them in jail until the next day.4 But many who heard the message believed; so the number of men who believed grew to about five thousand.

One of the first questions you ask yourself after getting saved is why are so many greatly disturbed by the apostle’s teaching? Anyone paying attention to the news realizes that there are many who are greatly disturbed by the gospel and are actively doing whatever they can to seize people preaching the gospel and to shut them up.

5 The next day the rulers, the elders and the teachers of the law met in Jerusalem. 6 Annas the high priest was there, and so were Caiaphas, John, Alexander and others of the high priest’s family.7 They had Peter and John brought before them and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”

This is the "buried lead". If you are speaking in the Lord's name it is a declaration that these pompous human representatives are not "the Lord". The essence of the spirit of antichrist is that the false Christ portrays themselves as Lord. This is the essences of totalitarian regimes, they want to be Lord and therefore they cannot tolerate the church. They want to control what kids are taught, they want to get rid of mothers and replace them with "birthing people", they want to control what people say, and they want to control what you do, where you go.

8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people! 9 If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed, 10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. 11 Jesus is “‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’ 12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

The builders are supposed to be the experts and the cornerstone is the most important stone for the entire building. It establishes the lines for the walls so they are straight and so that the building is in the proper place. These experts rejected Jesus as being a stone fit for the wall, and yet He has become the cornerstone. That really makes you question whether or not they know what they are doing. Consider this last election, there are people in the media who are supposed to be “experts”, talking heads concerning national security, diplomacy and economy. Look at how fast everything has come undone with Biden. Look at how quickly they are ready to admit he is not mentally fit to be president. They were supposed to be experts, not choosing Trump will expose them the same way rejecting Jesus exposed the phony religious leaders. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dr...go-cognitive-test-to-assess-mental-impairment

13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.

These rulers were able to rule by intimidating those who were uneducated. There are many rules about what clothes you can wear, what the fibers can be made of, how you should behave if you put on new clothes, new clothes should be inspected to make sure they don’t have improper fibers, which arm should put on the shirt first, which shoe you should tie first, what clothes to wear of the Sabbath, on holidays, on intermediate days, while praying. Altogether there are 613 rabbinical commandments. You would need a degree to know all of them and making a mistake in these is a simple way to see that someone is uneducated and therefore unqualified to be a leader. Yet three years with Jesus and they are no longer intimidated by this.

14 But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say.

This is where you get to when you have the facts. Fauci is trying to say that a year ago he was open minded to the possibility that the pandemic came from a lab. The problem is he was giving interviews everyday. We have the video evidence, the interviews, the long list of journalists who questioned him. They aren't going to lie for him because it would make them out to be a liar. There is nothing they can say.

15 So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin and then conferred together. 16 “What are we going to do with these men?” they asked. “Everyone living in Jerusalem knows they have performed a notable sign, and we cannot deny it. 17 But to stop this thing from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them to speak no longer to anyone in this name.”

This is what I find so interesting, why did they feel threatened? Why did they feel they must “stop this thing from spreading any further”?

18 Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judges! 20 As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.”

That is the answer! Why does anyone listen to these guys? They are the rulers, the elders and the teachers of the law. Why does anyone care what they say? The reason is that we believe they are giving us the word of God. Once people have to ask “which is right, to listen to you or to listen to God” the entire edifice they have constructed collapses. This is the fundamental question that Jesus’ ministry forces you to ask. Prior to this Emperors, Kings, Pharaohs, and Caesars all claimed divine right. They claimed they were speaking for God. Once this question began to be asked Kings coordinated with Priests. Kings would claim a holy war and the Priests would back them up. The laws would have a legalized slavery and the Priests would justify this in the preaching. But this question by Peter was echoed by Martin Luther, and throughout this age. We have come to realize that the rulers played us when they told us the crusades were a holy war. We were played when they told us that the Vietnam war was a war to protect the US from communism. We were played when they told us that Iraq was responsible for 9/11 and that they had weapons of mass destruction. This age has been about being with the Lord and learning to stand on our own two feet and to stop being played by everyone claiming divine right to rule. I am a science teacher, I teach about viral infections, I teach about many of the issues involved in this pandemic and what Fauci was saying was contrary to much of what I taught. I assumed that he knew more than I did and I listened intently to hear why this virus was the exception to the rule. He never explained that. Instead he said that "to question him was to question science". That didn't work for me, I knew that when major discoveries are made everyone thinks you are wrong, and the debate is vigorous, to question a theory is science.

This question that Peter asks is very similar to what God told him on the mount of transfiguration: “this is my beloved Son, hear Him”. Peter took that to heart and so asks these rulers

“Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you or to Him?”

This is what was so revolutionary about Jesus ministry. If Jesus is Lord then the rulers, elders and priests better be one with Jesus, otherwise why should we listen to them? Those that are not one with the Lord are greatly disturbed by our speaking and will do everything to shut us up.

Acts 4:21-37 -- The rulers band together against the Lord.

21 After further threats they let them go. They could not decide how to punish them, because all the people were praising God for what had happened. 22 For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old. 23 On their release, Peter and John went back to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them. 24 When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “you made the heavens and the earth and the sea, and everything in them.25 You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of your servant, our father David: “‘Why do the nations rage and the people plot in vain? 26 The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the Lord and against his anointed one.’

We are about to see the nations rage, right now they are plotting in vain. Globalism is the rulers banding together against the Lord. If we can stand on our own two feet then all these leaders become superfluous. In the New Testament leaders are servants, they are very different from the leaders you have in the world. What is happening today, people are questioning why we need to listen to them? If you are a taxpayer you are paying for the police department. If the police department is not protecting and serving you, then why are you paying for them? This is the same question Rosa Parks asked. This is the same question every boycott asks. We pay for the federal government to serve and protect us. If they are sending our kids to go overseas and die in wars so that some oil company or defense contractor can get rich, why are we listening to them? The CDC is supposed to keep us safe from Pandemics. SARS was a potential pandemic in 2004, they should have developed a vaccine for it. We now think that being exposed to SARS in 2004 made some countries much safer from the Covid19 pandemic, this is why Vietnam and Taiwan were not impacted. If the CDC had a vaccine for SARS they could have given this to us this summer and we wouldn’t have this catastrophe with colleges and schools reopening. If they are not doing their job why are we paying them?

27 Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed. 28 They did what your power and will had decided beforehand should happen. 29 Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. 30 Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”

They will always brand these as “conspiracy theories” and connect them to crazy conspiracy theories. But Peter tells you right here that this age began with a conspiracy against Jesus. Historians have shown that Hitler conspired to seize power in Germany and then to start WWII, the US conspired to ramp up the Vietnam war with a phony claim of an attack on our Navy. Bush conspired to falsely accuse Saddam of having Weapons of Mass destruction to get that war. JFK was killed by a conspiracy to change US foreign policy. Tucker Carlson has just released a three part series showing that the January 6th event was a false flag event designed to silence Trump supporters. You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. We are being set free to stand on our own two feet and to be able to hear the voice of God’s beloved Son.

31 After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.

This word will shake the earth. What is happening in Beirut and Belarus and Portland will take place across the entire globe. People are asking “why should we listen to you?” That is earth shaking. And, people are being filled with the Holy Spirit, and they are speaking the word boldly. The Virginia election is shaking the earth.

32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. 33 With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all 34 that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales35 and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need. 36 Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means “son of encouragement”), 37 sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles’ feet.

Right now we are in the midst of an economic disaster. China is on the brink of a famine, North Korea has admitted to being in a famine, the western US is in a very severe drought on an apocalyptic scale. China has cash and will buy up food from around the world which is why corn prices have risen 50% in the last four months. That in turn will cause third world countries to have a very deep famine. The real issue is not that there isn’t enough food, the real issue is that it isn’t shared equally. The richest 1% own 44% of the world’s wealth. The church can weather this storm by sharing everything they have. The tribulation will be a massive storm.

1Timothy 4 -- What is the apostasy?

1 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.

Let’s discuss what these demons teach. First, they will negate the necessity of faith in Jesus to be saved. As long as you do what you think is good then that is OK. Second they will undermine the faith in one God and Father. Since God is the God of all then “all Gods” are referring to this God. This is a direct contradiction to the word of the Lord that He is the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father but by Him. They will deny specific commands and laws in the Bible like capital punishment. This is arrogant and opens the door for anyone to treat God’s word in a way that you can pick and choose what you will receive and what you will reject. They will teach people to commit fornication. They will teach ecumenism as a way to short circuit preaching the gospel. On the surface ecumenism sounds good, the oneness of all Christians. But when someone denies the faith once for all delivered to the saints, that is not something you can tolerate. So what they are really teaching when they say “ecumenism” is to tolerate that woman Jezebel who calls herself a prophetess and teaches my servants to worship idols and commit fornication. That is what these teachings are doing. Also, instead of referring to preaching the gospel as preaching the gospel they call it “proselytizing” and condemn it as unfriendly. This is a big deal, you must not share the gospel with atheists, you must respect the “freedom of religion” of every person. So preaching the gospel is now “disrespectful” of someone’s freedom not to believe. Along these lines they teach you to worship in silence, just like Paul said, they worship dumb idols that make you dumb. They will teach there is no hell, that Islam and Judaism and Christianity all worship the same God. Again, blurring the lines of the gospel in an attempt to deceive the elect. They will undermine the faith by referring to certain passages in the Bible as “magic” and “God is not a magician”. They will confuse and distort what the Lord did on the cross. Jesus bore our judgement for sin on the cross. He didn’t commit sin, but He bore the full judgement for the sin that we have committed. In that way He has paid the full price for our redemption. But they will distort that and say Jesus became a sinner for us, it isn’t our sin, it is His. In this teaching liberating us from sin becomes liberating us to sin. They will undermine marriage and reject God’s condemnation of homosexual acts.

2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.

We see certain sects forbid the priests and nuns to get married. This sounds holy and chaste, but what has happened is that about 25% of priests do have sexual relations with other adults. As a result you have a serious problem. Either you don’t have enough priests or you cover up this behavior. This teaching pushes many priests into committing fornication which in turn compromises their ability to condemn sin. Then you have pedophile priests. If they excommunicate the pedophile priests they might in turn expose the priests who are committing fornication, so the whole house of cards comes down. So instead they simply shuffle the pedophile priests around from parish to parish. This teaching promotes a religion of lies, deceit, hypocrisy and evil.

4 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.


This becomes a distorted and twisted view of the Bible. God doesn’t forbid priests to marry, the Bible doesn’t, but because the Catholic church does people then think that God does. That in turn makes everyone think that if they are married they are somehow less holy or less consecrated to God. The backlash is what we are seeing now with an all out assault on God and the Bible.

6 If you point these things out to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed. 7 Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.


The worldly society is filled with godless myths. Santa Claus, Halloween, horror movies, zombies, vampires are all examples of godless myths. Don’t have anything to do with them.

8 For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. 9 This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance. 10 That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe.


Train yourself like someone going to the gym. We have put our trust in the living God who is the savior of all people. That is why we preach the gospel, that is why we speak of the Lord, that is why we teach people to repent of sin, that is why we obey the Lord’s word. We do His commands because we love Him and know Him. We know that He is the savior of all people and we want all to receive Him by faith and repent of their sins.

11 Command and teach these things.

The deceiving spirits mock the idea of “command these things” they even attempt to discourage you from teaching these things.

12 Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. 13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching. 14 Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you.

The Lord is coming and until He does come we need to devote ourselves to these things: public reading of scripture, preaching and teaching. Toughen up, don't let anyone look down on you for doing that.

15 Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress. 16 Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.

The more diligent we are the more we will progress. It is like the guy who goes to the gym and works out. When we preach and teach and read scriptures it can save those who hear, but it will also save us. Doing this is a salvation to you first and foremost.

We have an all sufficient Christ to finish this.

Matthew 14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? 29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, 30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

Babylon intended to build a tower and they didn't count the cost, didn't factor God into their costs. The Great Babylon also intended to build a tower and she didn't factor in God. The Antichrist and false prophet are intending to build a tower and they also are not factoring God into their costs.

Paul's testimony -- I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God

18 And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons, 19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews: 20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house, 21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. 22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: 23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. 24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. 25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. 26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. 27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

Satan's great claims -- "I will be like God"

"You have destroyed your land and killed your people." Why would the world leaders want to make a kill shot? Step 1 you take bribe money to allow all kinds of corruption and pollution to take place. Step 2 when the crimes are revealed you cover it up, hiding the slain in the earth. Step 3 eventually you realize you can no longer cover up the sins so rather than be accountable for your crimes you use your power to kill all those who would hold you accountable.

This is not as idiotic as it sounds. Think about WWII being funded by the Rothschilds who were in London. Why back Hitler in a war that almost destroyed England? Well first of all when Hitler was attacking England they pulled the strings and sent him off towards Russia, so almost doesn't count here as they were still in charge. Second they made a lot of money during this war with both the Germans and the allies. Third, they made sure they didn't take a loss in Germany (hence the final solution) so they could get all their gold out of Germany before they were destroyed. This is the Satanic wisdom, the wisdom that is not from above but from below. The Satanists represent 1% of the world, the elites, and they maintain control and get rich by having 49% fight against 49%.

Look at the divide and conquer strategy they have employed in the US. Ultimately it won't work anymore but that doesn't matter, by that time 85% of the country will be vaccinated with the kill shot which gives them greater control over the populace. By mixing your DNA with the graphene oxide they can identify each and every person on the planet at all times, track you and if necessary kill you quite easily and quickly. Sure the adverse reactions to this are extreme, just sweep that under the rug. It gives them full control over your entire life including all financial transactions and that is real power.

They that plow iniquity

Job4:8 Even as I have seen,they that plough iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.


Plowing means to cut the soil to prepare it for planting. To plow iniquity means to cut into iniquity to prepare it for planting your seeds of wickedness. To lie, to steal, to kill, these things are work. Planning and preparing to rob a bank, this is work, this is "plowing". This pandemic was designed in a bioweapons lab, they experimented for years, they tested out certain strains, they had to study bioengineering, and all this to "cut the ground" and prepare it to plant the vaccine. The vaccine is the seed they are sowing, it is the wickedness that they are going to sow. In this analogy creating a worldwide pandemic was to "plough iniquity" and then to mandate the vaccine was to "sow wickedness".

PR.16:28 A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

We saw this in the Virginia election. The entire strategy of the Democratic candidate was to sow strife and try and divide people by race. However Youngkin focused on policies, ignored all that, and the people rejected the strife, they rejected the race baiting.

The rain began on the 17th of Chesvan, that was Nov 3rd 2020, election day. After 40 days the earth was covered with the rain, that was December 14th, the day they certified the election. A year later at 17th of Chesvan the earth was completely dried up. The election in Virginia, the "Let's go Brandon" chants, the F Joe Biden chants all show that the earth has completely dried up.

Noah was on the ark with 7 others a type of Jesus and the 7 churches

During the flood every living thing was wiped out, just like the destruction from the pandemic, shutdown, and vaccine mandate.

According to this typology the "ark" came to rest on the Mount "reverse the curse" in June.

On the 9th of AV Noah released the raven (that was the same Day Biden fled from Afghanistan). From that day his presidency has been seen as illegitimate by the majority of people and the ravens began eating his carcass.

The dove was also released and was at first unable to find anywhere to perch but after a couple of weeks it did. As a result of Afghanistan Israel is looking for new allies. Already Russia appears to be cutting a deal with the Middle East for security to replace the US.

By the 27th of Chesvan the earth was completely dried up. That will be December 3rd. That is the day the debt ceiling extension ends.

No one knows the day or the hour (Matthew)

Matthew 24:36 But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

Think about that! No one knew? Really, so then why did Noah build an ark? Why was he preaching to everyone? The context of this is not that we don't know there is a coming judgement, nor is it that we are not to prepare for it, nor is it even that we don't have a very clear idea of when it is about to happen. Surely Noah knew when the ark was prepared, he knew when he had gathered all the animals. He might not have known that it would three days from today, but He knew it would be very soon. This word is not spoken to Noah, a preacher of righteousness but to all those in the world who were laughing at him and going about their daily business.

42 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

You don't prepare your house to repel a thief when you see him coming, you do it before that. We will see the apostasy, the house of God being broken into. We are the Lord's servants, He expects we are there preventing the house from being broken into. Paul gave the same admonition to Timothy. If you want the Lord to say "well done good and faithful servant". The point of this word is you prepare for this thief even though you don't know when he is coming. Also if you are the butler to a great house you may not know the precise hour that the Lord will come but you probably have a very good idea. Perhaps he went on a 3 day weekend, maybe he calls before returning, maybe you know what train he will be on.

45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46 It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ 49 and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 50 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. 51 He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Wow! If you are the wise and faithful servant you will be expecting the Lord to return on the day He does return. That is very clearly what this warning to the wicked servant is saying. This word that everyone keeps quoting is a warning to wicked servants who are not faithful and wise. Not expecting the Lord on the day He returns and not being aware of the hour in which the rapture takes place is a sign of a wicked servant.

This portion of Matthew uses this warning three times: it is for those who are rejecting the preaching of righteousness from Noah, it is for church leaders to stand up to the apostasy, and it is for the Lord's servants to be faithful and wise giving the members of the household of God their food in their proper time. In none of these three examples is this word an excuse to not preach of the Lord's soon coming, on the contrary it is a warning to be faithful and to be on our toes.

Matthew 25:6 “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ 7 “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ 9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’ 10 “But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut. 11 “Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’ 12 “But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’ 13 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

Once again the context of this verse is the opposite of how many use it when they quote it. We have a wedding, in the Jewish tradition there was first an engagement ceremony, for us this was at Pentecost when the Lord gave us the Holy Spirit as a promise. Then He goes to prepare a place for them and has two years to return to get His bride. You have two years of anticipation. This doesn't mean that the bride goes about her business for two years never seeing her betrothed. I would think she would see him every day and if not at least every weekend. Surely she would see the progress on the place He is preparing. But look at those who are locked out of the wedding, "I never knew you". You never came to see the Lord on the weekends, you never fellowshipped with Him during the week, you were not in the word, in prayer, and we know this for a fact because your vessel doesn't have any oil in it. So yes, the bride doesn't know the day or the hour, but she knows the house is ready and it could be any day now.

The Lord does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants

Amos 3:7 Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.

Does this apply to the rapture? Why wouldn't it?

1Corinthians 15:51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—

This obviously applies to the rapture. It is one of the mysteries.

Ephesians 1:9 he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,

Surely the rapture is included in the mystery of God's will.

Ephesians 6:19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel,

Surely the rapture is included in "the mystery of the gospel". Ask yourself, what is the one topic that most preachers are afraid to touch?

Colossians 1:26 the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. 27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ.

The hope of glory is a reference to the rapture and therefore is part of this mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations but is now disclosed to the Lord's people.

1Timothy 3:16 Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.

Taken up in glory includes the rapture. The rapture will be a vindication to the Lord. He will be glorified in that day.

Revelation 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and didst hear; and keep it, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

Many Christians have forgotten "how" they received the revelation of the mystery. Today they open the books and parrot what has been taught. They do not allow a fresh reading, they do not allow anyone to question the accepted dogmas. That is not how we received and didst hear.

In the same way this mystery is being unfurled at the end of the age, many Christians will refuse to receive it because they have forgotten how they had first received and heard. If you do not wake up there is a warning, the Lord will come as a thief and you will be clueless. Imagine how embarrassing it will be for those who have pretended to be Bible scholars to have the Lord come and they were completely clueless. It would be as bad as what happened to the Jewish scholars when Jesus was born the first time. The prophecies in Jeremiah and Daniel and other places were more than sufficient to let them know when and where He would be born but they treated that as some trivia question. As a result the Lord's first coming was as a thief (say goodbye to Jerusalem).

Some very interesting historical references (however he uses the Torah calendar which I feel is clearly non Biblical, so when he says the month is Kislev I would say it is really Chesvan).

2Timothy 3 -- Unveiling impostors (part 1)

3 But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come.

It is very interesting to me that there appear to be two completely different narratives playing out on the internet. There are those who are compiling video footage of natural disasters, strange phenomena and economic indicators claiming these are grievous times, and then there are those who are telling us it was just like this in the 70s, nothing to see here. A video of a person filling a duffle bag with stuff from the shelves of a Walgreen's while the security guard watches is making the rounds. It is due to San Francisco passing laws to not to pursue or engage with shoplifters and for the most part to not prosecute either. As a result 17 Walgreen's stores in San Francisco are shutting down. The border has been thrown wide open and we are on track to have several million illegals enter the country this year. This human traffic is controlled by the cartels. This is very profitable business for them so you can be sure that the cartel controlled gangs in the US cities will get bigger and scarier.

2 For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

and yet Paul talks about how men will have become shameless. I am going to illustrate this using Trump to illustrate how we know that these are grievous times. I see no hope for any government other than Jesus. I see this as evidence that we are in the grievous times of the last days. In the 2016 election we knew that as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had violated laws when she set up her own server for her emails. As Secretary of State those emails were often referencing State secrets. If anyone working for the State department had done this they would have been fired and prosecuted for a felony. So to commit this crime and then ask us to vote for her as though it was a simple mistake, that was an outrageous insult. There is an involved process people go through to get security clearance and they are fully educated on how serious it is to violate it. The idea that she didn’t know that she was violating that was insulting. After Trump was elected they went through years of investigations to see if he had colluded with Russia. During this time it was confirmed that Russia had indeed interfered with the election and had also hacked the DNC’s server. These facts condemn Hillary even more, it is as though they were pointing one finger at Trump and three fingers were pointing at them. She had to know that there were Russian and Chinese hackers working for those countries to hack into multinational corporate servers. As Secretary of State she was privy to the up to date intelligence on these hackers. How is a government employee going to afford to keep their server secure from them when fortune 500 companies can’t keep their servers secure? As for Biden Kamala Harris said during the campaign that she believed the women who alleged sexual misconduct by Biden. If that is true then how is it a few months later she is willing to run on the same ticket with him? The point is not how bad Trump is but how grievous the times have become. If you support Trump then you should also be able to realize that if he did not have these personal failings and flaws he would have been reelected. Almost all those who dislike Trump dislike him for these reasons. Finally, Trump is transparent. We are learning that the Clintons and the Bidens are very bad people (Bill Clinton apparently frequented Epstein's pedophile island while Biden is a Free Mason, a satanic cult).

Lover of self —

During the pandemic over 150,000 Americans have died, many more have become extremely sick. People have lost their jobs, and may lose their homes. Yet Trump complains about what the pandemic is doing to him, that this was some evil plot to keep him from being reelected. There is evidence of this, but it comes across as completely narcissistic.

Covetous —

"The beauty of me is that I'm very rich." Donald Trump. This is a very interesting comment in how "truthful" it is. He seems to be saying that the reason he is "attractive" or "interesting" is because he is rich. It really shows what the time is like with many worshipping idols.

Boastful —

"I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created." Donald Trump. Once again a very interesting comment, in the end he really does get an A+ for his handling of the economy, but it shows that people are taught to boast. Resume writing skills focus on teaching people to boast and to spin.

haughty

"My Twitter has become so powerful that I can actually make my enemies tell the truth." Donald Trump. Pride goes before a fall, his boasting was not good, it provoked Twitter into banning him.

railers

“Ariana Huffington is unattractive both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man — he made a good decision.” Donald Trump. One thing Trump was very good at was insulting people, it was his super power.

disobedient to parents

Trump encouraged Americans to disobey governors orders concerning social distancing, masks, and the shut down of business. In reality we have political leaders who are disobedient to the constitution, that in turn becomes an example for others to be disobedient to them.

unthankful

On Thanksgiving Trump was asked what he was most thankful for and he said he was most thankful for himself.

unholy

"I've said if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her." Donald Trump.

without natural affection

"What is it at 35? It's called check-out time." — Trump on relationships with women.

implacable

Obama once made a joke about Trump, since that time he has been implacable concerning Obama.

slanderers

"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending the best. They're not sending you, they're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing those problems. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. They're rapists and some, I assume, are good people, but I speak to border guards and they're telling us what we're getting." Donald Trump. How did Trump get elected? It is simple, this is what our political campaigns have become, six months of slandering one another.

3 days of darkness?

There is an interesting comparison between the ten plagues in Egypt with the end times. It seems that this pandemic and all the other "plagues" are man made, a last ditch attempt by Satan to keep his kingdom. I suppose we could view it as a tit for tat response by "pharaoh" for what God did to Egypt years ago.
