Regardless of how you want to think, must realize that what we are aware of is behind what they can actually do and here he is showing that not only do they have the capability for something like the Mark of the Beast they already are putting the infrastructure in place to roll it out.

James 2:13 for judgment [will be] without mercy to him that has shewn no mercy. Mercy glories over judgment.

I think we all realize time is very short, the Lord's return is imminent. We are like those cramming for the Final exam. I am reminded of Bill Belichick the day before the Superbowl between New England and Seattle. He was practicing this one play and drilling into this new cornerback how to defend it. Then it was that play and the interception the cornerback made that won the game for them. That is the kind of lesson we are looking for at this point.

Praying over this I was reminded of something that happened to me more than 40 years ago. I was in high school in England. I had done something wrong for which I was punished and only after punishing me did they learn I had done something else wrong as well. The headmaster told me if he had known about both things at the same time he would have expelled me but didn't think it was right to expel me over this newly discovered infraction (basically I had written something that was seen as insulting to one of the teachers).

A few months later we are taking our final exams and the teacher I had insulted gave the class a list of ten questions and told us that the final exam would be three essay questions from that list. I thought no problem, I'll look at these questions the night before the exam. When I did I was shocked, each question was so broad that each one covered an entire chapter in the textbook. I was one of the top three students in the class but some of these questions I had no idea about, in fact when I looked at them more closely I realized he had never even talked about these things. That made me angry, I realized it would take several hours to prepare for just one of these questions. Then I asked "which questions did he talk about"? I then figured out that there were only three questions and they basically covered the entire semester. I figured he has to ask at least one of these questions and maybe even two of them. So I changed my strategy and decided to completely focus on these three, ignore the other seven. I knew I'd get 0 on those so I had to get 100% of these to have a chance. Well on the exam he asked all three. I felt like I had guessed fast ball down and away, guessed right and got all of it and was watching it sail over the wall. In all my school experience never did I crush an exam like that, completely and totally aced it.

A few days later the scores were posted and I got the lowest grade in the class, I got a 25. If I had gotten a 95 and someone else had gotten a 100 I wouldn't have believed it. This I knew was completely bogus. However, this was a favorite teacher to many and if I complained to the headmaster this teacher would have been fired. I was visiting from the US for a year and the idea of coming, being an obnoxious little insulting kid and then getting this teacher fired was something I didn't want to do. But then I thought "maybe I have no choice"? I had been accepted to university, got into my first choice, and they said that as long as my grades didn't drop below a certain level I was in. So I pulled out the pencil and paper and did the calculations to see if this grade would drop me below that point. It didn't. So in reality this test score was in the grand scheme of things meaningless to me. But what about others? If I do nothing he could keep doing this to others and that would be on me.

Finally I came up with a solution. I was in the Royal Air Force and this teacher was our commanding officer. We had to return our uniforms and mine was missing a button. So I decided I'd let him judge (as you have done it will be done unto you). If he made me pay in any way for that button then he would pay for the exam. I went up to him at lunch and he was so terrified he was shaking and wouldn't even look at me. I told him about the button and he waved his hand and said "forget about it". So, I forgot about the button and test.

Thirty years later my older brother is back at the school for a reunion and this teacher seeks him out to tell him how much he appreciated me. Imagine remembering a student for 30 years, particularly one that he obviously disliked at the time. Mercy is a powerful thing. The golden rule says that as you have done unto others it will be done unto you. We all want to be treated with mercy, so then the golden rule is really commanding us to treat others with mercy. The Lord's coming will include His judgement so the last lesson I would leave with everyone is this, Mercy glories over judgement.

1 Jn 5 -- You have been warned

1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. 2 This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands.


Wow, I just love reading the apostle’s fellowship, it is so obvious why they are overcomers. Please notice, John doesn’t say “this is how we know that others love”. He is giving you a way to discern if you love the children of God, not a way to impose self righteous judgement on others. It is so simple, keeping God’s commands is an exercise of love towards others. The world would have you believe that the Bible is misogynist and homophobic. The Bible condemns sins and justifies sinners. The world condemns sinners and justifies sin.

3 In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

Do you see how intricately tied keeping God’s laws are to overcoming the world? These laws lead us to Jesus Christ, they lead us to salvation. Satan is the ruler of the world and it is critical to Satan to lead us away from Jesus Christ, he does that with his laws. What do they argue? Keeping God’s laws are burdensome, they are out of date, they are homophobic, etc.

6 This is the one who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. 7 For there are three that testify: 8 the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.

What hypocrites! If you claim the law of God is burdensome then you are claiming that Jesus Christ is burdensome. He is the incarnate word of God, He is the fulfillment of the law of God, He is the expression of the invisible God.

9 We accept human testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son. 10 Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony. Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. 11 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

The age of Grace is a trial. Satan the ruler of this world is on trial, God has testified against Him by raising Jesus from the dead. God’s testimony is that He has given us this great gift of eternal life and this gift is given to us by giving us Jesus Christ. We receive Jesus and with that gift we get eternal life. This is what it means to keep the laws of God.

Concluding Affirmations

13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

This is so important. First and foremost you must have the assurance of salvation. The word salvation is very significant, if you can save yourself then it isn’t salvation. The word salvation means you can’t save yourself, it is only Jesus Christ that can save you. Knowing that you are a failure and a sinner is simply the prerequisite to calling on the Lord to be saved.

14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

How do you ask according to God’s will? Simply ask according to the word of God, the word expresses His will. This doesn’t mean that you say to yourself I want this or I want that and then you go look for a Bible verse that seems to agree with that. This is what the entire prosperity gospel is built on. They want to be rich in the world, so equate being “rich” with being “blessed” and then you are off and running. Sadly, according to that equation the only apostle who was “blessed” was Judas when he had the silver after betraying the Lord.

15 And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.

Wow, that is just great. Step 1, pray according to the will of God, not according to your will, your lusts, your desires. Step 2 know that God hears you. Step 3, if God hears then know that you will have whatever you asked. For example “God I need to have the full assurance that I have eternal life.” I have prayed according to God’s will, I know He has heard me and now I know I have what I have prayed for, the assurance of salvation.

16 If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give them life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that you should pray about that.

We are not called to judge and condemn our brothers and sisters, but we are called to pray for them. Once again, step 1 pray according to the will of God, not my opinion, not my desire for vengeance or to spread gossip. Here it is, did you see someone commit a sin, then the will of God is that you pray that God will give them life. Often we pray that God would enlighten them, shine on them, expose them, cause them to repent, confess, etc. But God’s will is that you pray that God give them life, that is the power that enables us to overcome sin and the world. One analogy is of a fish swimming upstream while leaves and sticks are floating downstream. If the world is a stream flowing down to the ocean then the only way to stop floating downstream is if you have life. So then, what is this “sin that leads to death”? Look at Judas, in his heart he saw Jesus as an opportunity to boost his career and to get rich. It was the same sin we saw in Balaam and he was rebuked by a donkey. The angel said that had it not been for the donkey he would have been killed. He was a prophet for hire willing to curse God’s people in exchange for money.

17 All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death. 18 We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them.

Here is another verse indicating God’s will that you can pray. Are you worried about being safe where the evil one can’t harm you? Once again we receive Jesus Christ, we are born of God, and then we keep His word to us, we obey it, and it will keep us safe.

19 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.

If you weren’t clear on this last year hopefully you are now fully clear on this. When we say that people need to “wake up” we mean they need to see that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. When they see this it will cause a revival as people turn to the Lord for salvation and eternal life.

20 We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

Do you need understanding? Do you need to know Him who is true? Everything is so confusing, who do you believe? Here is another verse that you can pray over. God will hear and you will receive.

21 Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.


There are two basic concepts in the world. Democracy is based on the rule of the people. For thousands of years everyone was told that the common man was too stupid to rule himself. This is why the founding fathers called it “an experiment” and knew that it would only be by the grace of God that we could keep this republic. The other basic concept is that government is by elites (Emperor, King, Caesar, General, Dictator, Oligarchs, etc). We all know this, now what John is telling you is that this second form of government is to be ruled by idols. You have been warned, do not choose to be ruled by idols.

The Fulfillment of the Feast of Trumpets

We have been careless with God's word. Let us go over this appointed feast again, carefully.

The Feast of Trumpets

1. It starts the time referred to as “Jacob’s trouble”. Therefore we think that the tribulation begins on this day.

2. It is the day of the awakening blast — certainly seems like that would be the rapture. However, who is blowing the trumpet? All of Israel is to blow the trumpet. This is not God who is blowing the trumpet, rather it is Israel. Yes, the two are certainly related but we need to cut the word finely here. The Lord comes on the "last trump" and yet all of these Israelites have been blowing the trumpet prior to that last blast, they are to blow it at least 99 times (if you consider the 100th time is the last blast) or they are to blow it 100 times, either way they are not the Trumpet of God, rather when we blow the shofar it reminds God to be merciful in judgement.

3. Day of judgement — opening of the books and opening of the gates. The gates are opened so that we can enter in and the Lord can come out. But this is a process, it is not "in the twinkling of an eye" that all this takes place.

4. The hidden day -- I am going to make the claim that the Revelation sign on September 23, 2017 was this "hidden day". It woke up many saints, not all, but quite a few all over the globe have been "blowing the trumpet" ever since. That was also the day that the door was opened, the day of the awakening blast.

5. The wedding of the Messiah -- Are you Pre-trib, Mid-Trib, Post-trib? If you think there will be a pre tribulation rapture then surely you must agree that it is absurd to think that on the same day the first fruits are raptured there is the wedding. That doesn't make sense. In typology Jacob had two wives, one was "weak eyed" which I have heard interpreted means "blue eyes", hence Gentile. Jacob married her first, fulfilled her week (7 days which at the end of the age will be 7 years) then he married Rachel, that is the Jews and their day should be part of their covenant. So I would see that wedding to be Feast of Trumpets.

6. The coronation of the Messiah -- This I can believe will take place with just the Pre-tribulation rapture. Think of the coronation of Solomon, it took place during a massive rebellion. Only the closest and most faithful were there.

Let them be for signs. — Signals

Genesis says the Sun, Moon and Stars are for signs, for signals. There is no bigger sign or signal than the Revelation 12 sign.

Let them be for seasons — moed — divine appointments. The Feast of Trumpets is a divine appointment. It tells us that we all will need to appear before God. According to Amos these ten days are a time for us to "prepare to meet thy God". That is the purpose of the "awakening blast". It is to wake the believers up to prepare to meet thy God. It is that trumpet that announces the bridegroom comes.

The concept of this day is to be remembered by God. We remember Him and He remembers us. So then what have we done since that Revelation 12 sign? We have been sharing the word, sharing our testimonies, sharing our gifts of praise, and worship, our dreams and visions. We are blowing the trumpet to let God know that we remember Him and to remind Him to be merciful to us. This is what it means that the virgins had oil in their lamps. We have a well of experiences and revelation and dispensation from the Holy Spirit to draw on to keep our lamps lit for the last four years.

This is the day that Isaac was bound by Abraham. When God hears the Shofar He is moved to go from a seat of judgement to a seat of mercy. The blowing of the horn is a reminder to show mercy and not judgement. There is a terrible judgement coming, a glittering sword has been drawn and ready to slay us. We are sounding the trumpet to remind God to be merciful, just like the Angel calling to Abraham not to slay his son, there is a ram over here, offer the ram instead.

It is a day of blowing. An acclamation of joy, a battle cry, an alarm, to rejoice and to shout. This is what we have been doing for the last four years, but really, it was from March 2020 when the Pandemic shut everything down that God gave us a Holy Sabbath to blow that trumpet. To God it is evening and morning, one day. We had sunset at the equinox of March 2020, at the equinox in September of 2021 we will have the sunrise of the next day.

We need a certain sound from the Trumpet to prepare for battle. This is what the testimonies, teachings, and ministry of the word have been. A sound to prepare us for battle.

God has gone up with a shout. For the Lord Himself will descend with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God. This is a response to us. We blew the trumpet, we called on God to remember us, to have mercy on us, then He will descend to rescue us from this judgement that is coming. And the Lord shall be seen over them and shall blow the Shofar.

Blessed are you if you know the sound of the shofar (sound of the rapture blast). Think about that! The sound of your testimony of the Lord is the sound of the shofar and it is also the sound of the Lord's rapture blast. What have we been charged to do? To partake of the body and blood of Jesus and in so doing we remember Him. That is the sound of our testimony, He then responds and He remembers us, that is the sound of our salvation, our rapture.

Jacob’s trouble will be as a woman who is in labor. That is what the Revelation 12 sign was, it was on the Feast of Trumpets and it was the sign that the woman is in labor. When the woman is in labor she is trying to bring forth a man child but there is always the risk that she will die, that the forces of evil will prevail. This is what we saw when Solomon was crowned king, and this is what we see today. The Lord is not concerned about all those who are in rebellion, He can deal with them, He is concerned about those who love and worship Him, whose vessels are filled with oil and who have been watching and waiting on Him.

So think about it, the whole process is like a wheel. We blow the trumpet, the Lord hears, He remembers, He comes to rescue us. Then when we get rescued what happens? Think about Lazarus, he was a type of the pre tribulation rapture. He was raptured before the Lord went to the cross. This caused a great revival among the Jews so that the leaders said that if they don't kill Him now the whole world will follow Him.

The rapture will spark believers around the globe to "blow the trumpet". They will shout, they will praise, they will wake up. It will be another "awakening blast".

Revelation 12:1-4 -- The Dragon

1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven;


This is a thorny issue for many Christians. We know that horoscopes and astrology is condemned in the Bible. However we also know that when God created the stars and put them into the heavens they are for signs. It is not just for seasons and times, but also for signs. A great example is during the Lord’s birth when the Magi said they saw His star. Apparently Daniel taught them what the star would be that would signify the Lord’s birth, and that may have been based on Balaam’s prophecy in Numbers 24. So the truth is God created the heavens. There are 12 zodiac signs that we pass through over the course of a year and these 12 from the first sign of the Virgin, or the woman, the daughter of Zion, the bride of Christ, or in this case “a woman clothed with the sun”. To the last sign, Leo, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. This is the alpha and omega of the year and they tell the redemption story. I think you can go off on the deep end reading the story in the stars and it will never be better than the word of God. But when it comes to the signs that are clearly referred to in the word of God like this one, then it is quite interesting.

a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:


There is a website unsealed.org that goes into great detail about these signs, if you have an hour and half they have a very informative video that shows you the signs in the heaven when Jesus was born, what the Magi saw, what the star of David was, etc. I thought it was well worth my time, and the visual was very helpful, first time anyone explained to me what they are looking at. So it turns out on September





23rd, 2017 this sign appeared in the sky. There are 9 stars in the constellation Leo plus the three planets Mars, Mercury, and Venus (the ancients called them wandering stars) are in her crown. The Moon is under her feet. She is clothed with the Sun, the Sun goes where the clasp that holds the ancient clothes would have gone.

2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.


Jupiter is the child that she bears. This is interesting because at the time of the Lord’s birth we saw something similar and Jupiter represented the Jesus in His earthly ministry as a king. If you look closely at Jupiter it has stripes like the crucified Christ had on His back and it has a big round wound where the spear was put in the side of Jesus. The only planet brighter than Jupiter is Venus which is called the morning star. The morning star signifies the resurrected Christ. But here the child she is delivering, the man child, is represented by Jupiter as well. These are the ones in the Church that are one with the Lord in His ministry, they are the ones who are bearing their cross and following Him.

3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

So surrounding this woman are a number of constellations that depict the dragon, a serpent, a scorpion, and even Hercules fighting with a serpent. But this dragon “appeared”. We are talking about a wonder in the stars. This is what Jeffrey McGaha is discussing in his videos. What we learn in those videos is that the entire world that lies in the evil one knows about this wonder. Only Christians who have this superstitious fear of looking at the stars lest you be accused of astrology are ignorant.

4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

This also occurred at that time. At the bottom of Hydra, the tail of the great serpent, on October 8th 2017 we had a large meteor shower from these cluster of dragon constellations. On that date you had about 200 meteors per hour, over the course of a day there were over 3,000 meteors. Since there are around 10,000 visible stars in the night sky with the human eye, this represents about a third. This sign in the heaven of the woman about to give birth was given on September 23, 2017. On October 8th 2017 we get a further confirmation, a second warning, that we could see 3,000 meteors hit the Earth.

The previous video talks about Nimrod, the Nephilim, and that the Luciferians think in terms of generations, even 50 generations ahead. This video shows that from the first verse of the Bible God has the plan of salvation and is also telling us the end from the beginning.

What is really cool about his is that it explains why things that happened 4,000 or 3,000 or 2,000 years ago is so relevant to today. We are witnessing a battle between God and Satan and for these guys a thousand years is as a day. Not much has changed.

We are Fools for Christ

The last day of the Hebrew year 2021 is April Fool's day, since there is compelling Biblical basis to say this first hidden rapture will be this year I wonder if it will be on April Fool's day.

Psalm 74:22 Rise up, O God, and defend your cause; remember how fools mock you all day long.


Christians who are talking about the Day of the Lord, His coming and the rapture are being mocked. The rapture will be their "rising up" and God defending His cause.

Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.


Proverbs 1:32 For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them;

Chapter 1 of Proverbs presents a picture of the end of the age with two groups, those that fear the Lord and those that are complacent.

Proverbs 3:35 The wise inherit honor, but fools get only shame.


If you are wise you will be raptured, that will be a great honor, if you are left behind then you will get only shame.

Isaiah 44:25 who foils the signs of false prophets and makes fools of diviners, who overthrows the learning of the wise and turns it into nonsense,


This is who our God is and this will be fulfilled in the first rapture.

Jeremiah 50:36 A sword against her false prophets! They will become fools. A sword against her warriors! They will be filled with terror.


This is what the tribulation will be for all the false prophets.

1Corinthians 3:18 Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise.

This is my point, among those who think they are wise in this age they consider the Jesus freaks to be fools.

1Corinthians 4:10 We are fools for Christ, but you are so wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are honored, we are dishonored!


This is my point, our testimony is that we are fools for Christ, hence what better day to be raptured?

Revelation 12:5-9 The Man Child throws the bums out

5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

The last time we have had a sign similar to the one in 2017 was 3915 BC, and it looked very similar to the prophecy that the seed of the woman would bruise the serpent's head, but the serpent would bruise His heel. We need to break this down because there are two phrases “she brought forth a man child” and “her child was caught up unto God”. I have always assumed these two events happen together, but they are separated with “and” so they are clearly presented as two distinct events. Being caught up to the heaven depicts the rapture which takes place after the birth of the man child. We are also told that this “man child” is destined to rule, hence to replace the existing rulers. In Luke we get a very distinct account of the mount of Transfiguration saying it was about eight days after the Lord said these words. The words it is referring to are the words sending them out into the world to proclaim the kingdom of God. That is the birth of the manchild. Eight days later you are to circumcise this child, offering him up to God. This is the rapture.

6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

One of the problems we have with these signs is we try to get them to say too much. If you are on the road heading to the Lord’s return and you see a great sign on the side of the road you would never expect the sign to be at the destination, what would be the point? Also, what is the point of creating the stars for a sign, telling us about the sign, if God didn’t want us to see and pay attention to the sign? So this is a sign telling us that the church (the woman) is going to have a “man child” that will be caught up to heaven. That is the rapture. The Lord told us to watch, if you were watching this would have certainly been warned with this sign that we are almost there. The New Testament says that the man of lawlessness (the antichrist) is revealed when those that restrain are taken away. So the man-child were those who were restraining, once they are raptured “all hell breaks loose”. Today we see “those who restrain”. They ask difficult questions of the authorities that they cannot answer, like “is the vaccine safe”, and “is it effective against the virus” and “where did this virus come from” and “why did you lie about this before”. They have censored these people, blocked them from asking questions, and talking about violating all constitutional rights to shut them down. They ask difficult questions concerning Hunter Biden, his laptop, who is "the big guy", and details about the bioweapons research Hunter's hedge fund was financing. They accuse anyone asking questions of "treason". The battle is clearly on. Then we see a catastrophic meteor shower, perhaps 3,000 meteors hit the Earth causing massive damage at the same time that the man child is caught up to heaven. There are many prophecies, dreams and visions to this effect. At this time God’s people flee into the wilderness. Perhaps this is because of the vaccine mandate? Perhaps they are fleeing from the one world government. We know that the dragon gives his power to this one world government and that this government is headed by the antichrist. It is hard to predict ahead of time but already we are seeing millions of people fleeing the conflict in the Ukraine and we know that after this event it will be like the dams bursting.

7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,


There are two groups of Christians, the stronger group that will be raptured to the heavens and with the Lord kick Satan out, and the weaker ones who will be on Earth for the first half of the tribulation. The last six months have made it very clear that there is a “war in heaven”. The war is concerning abortion, race baiting, law and order, election fraud, the vaccine mandate, and censorship. But that is simply the symptoms of the disease. The cause of the disease is that the whole world is under the ruling of the Evil one. Until Jesus kicks Satan out and locks him up in the pit these things will continue. Placing this verse after the first seven verses suggests that this war is “the tribulation”. On Earth we see this political struggle where Trump declares he will “drain the swamp” and yet the deep state seems too big and wide. In heaven it is the same, Jesus went to heaven two thousand years ago to drain the swamp in heaven of the dragon. The rapture is a major victory where the Lord is able to raise a faithful army despite the whole world lying in the evil one. We see this heavenly battle reflected on Earth as various servants of God placed throughout positions of authority are fighting against this deep state. I know many are discouraged but this war has been going on for six thousand years and only recently have all the ugly despicable acts and sins of these Luciferians come to light. This is a major advancement in this war, we are now shining a light on them and sprinkling salt on them.

8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.


What do we learn about Satan? He deceiveth the whole world. This is what the war is over, we have learned that these media giants, tyrannical governments and tech giants are deceiving the whole world. We are learning about their deception with false flag events, various assassinations including JFK and 911. We now know that all these terrorist attacks were a deception, the OK city bombing, the Madrid bombing, and on and on. They will be cast out of heaven which I think will include being cast out of the US government as well. It is no wonder that people are trying to discern what the Ukraine invasion is all about with a more skeptical eye.

This is why it is called the tribulation. The world doesn’t realize that the people who are restraining evil are keeping the whole world from going to hell. But once those who are one with the Holy Spirit are removed, then there is nothing left to restrain the evil. I like the picture as well, as they go up the evil ones come down. The lawless one will be revealed, and things will get really bad. We are moving towards casting the bums out. The audit in Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania is definitely on a path that leads to throwing the bums out. The cyber symposium by Mike Lindell is on a path to reveal election fraud in all 50 states to cast the bums out. Rand Paul and others are on a path to cast Fauci and his ilk out. Revolver, the news agency is on a path to cast the deep state involved in January 6th out. According to the account here there is a war that is going on, not a single battle, but a war on many fronts. We are dealing with the Pandemic, and with the election fraud, and with pedophiles, and with collusion and corruption between politicians, the deep state, and the tech and media giants. Donald Trump just filed a 118 page civil lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and all the key leaders of the Deep State, just another example of us getting close to throwing the bums out.

Russia invades Ukraine

The evacuation from Kabul began at the 50th anniversary of Nixon taking the US off the gold standard. At Nixon's time they cut a deal with Saudi Arabia that they would only sell their oil for US dollars, in return the US would provide security. This made the US dollar the world's currency and ushered in 50 years of fabulous wealth for the US where we could simply print money any time we wished. Venezuela, Libya and Saddam Hussein all at one time or another tried to sell their oil for something other than US dollars and, well let's just say it didn't turn out for them.

However, after seeing the pitiful display in Afghanistan Saudi Arabia made a new deal with Russia for their security. While the world is focused on people left behind, the alarm bells went off on August 15th that the US dollar as a world currency is finished. Since that time we have seen dramatic inflation.

Now with the invasion of Ukraine by Russia they are predicting widespread food shortages (a nicer way of saying famine) and history has taught us that famine leads to civil war and chaos. The Arab spring was the result of a much smaller food shortage. This time 33% of the world's wheat imports, as well as fertilizer and 10% of oil imports are threatened. Iran is attacking Saudi Arabia and if they can shut down their oil exports you will see the biggest catastrophe in our lifetime.

The US will still have hundreds of millions of people. However, our dollar will be close to worthless if it is no longer the reserve currency, we will be unable to import anything especially oil, and it will take us some time to get back on our feet with our own oil industry.

Now there are numerous visions, dreams and prophecies that Russia will attack the US and eliminate us as a factor during the seven year tribulation.

Zephaniah 3:1-5 -- The unjust knoweth no shame

1 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city! 2 She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the Lord; she drew not near to her God. 3 Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.

Let’s look at this recent case with Hunter Biden. They found pictures and emails on his computer implicating Hunter, Joe, and Hunter’s brother in a corruption scheme selling access to key policy makers. However a day later the response is that this is a Russian disinformation campaign. So then that claim proves someone is lying and it proves this is a very big story about corruption. If it is true Joe Biden’s campaign is lying about it because they realize it is evidence of him committing a felony and selling out the country. If Biden’s campaign is right in saying this is Russian disinformation that the NY Post is publishing that is equally concerning. Rudy Giuliani is the one pushing this story, they are accusing him of spreading lies. So it is confusing, but what is telling is what everyone agrees to be true. First, even the campaign agrees that the pictures that were found on his computer are true. They depict Hunter Biden as a profligate person and a drug addict. During the first debate Joe Biden defended his son saying that he had problems, he couldn’t deny he had been kicked out of the military due to his drug use. But, he was working through these problems (cue the Rocky theme music) and like many other Americans who had drug problems he was picking himself back up and rebuilding his life. These pictures prove that depiction was a lie because the multi million dollars he received for a job involving making introductions was given to him by both the Ukrainians and Chinese while he was a profligate and drug addict. Also, no one denies that he was making millions of dollars from both the Chinese and Ukrainians to make introductions when his father was Vice President. What is also stunning to me is that Joe Biden has said repeatedly that he didn’t ever talk to his son about his business. Really? I have a son and daughter who are both working and we often talk about their business and how that is going. This claim by Joe tells me he knew there was a horrible conflict of interest and appearance of evil. So much so that he has to even deny he knew anything about it. Also, no one denies that Joe Biden pressured the Ukrainian government to fire the man who was investigating his son’s business for corruption. So what exactly do they deny? The emails are from Hunter complaining that he has to give half of his money to his dad, that he gets no respect, and it describes him setting up a meeting with Joe Biden on a certain day. Joe’s campaign has a very specific denial, they say on the date in question that there was no meeting set up with this man “on the calendar”. Yes, there was a large gap in his schedule that is unaccounted for on this day and they don’t deny that he might have met with this man, only that “it wasn’t on the calendar”. This is how liars respond to accusations. Any honest person would have said “I never met this person”. Also when asked if he received money from Hunter he says “he never talked to his son about his business”. Again, trying to pass off an answer to a question not asked as an answer to the question that was. But this is only part of the scandal. The second part is that Facebook and Twitter both blocked every attempt to reference this article from the NY Post. The hypocrisy in this action was incredible. They tried to give various justifications that were absurd. They said it was their policy to not accept a story like this unless Hunter Biden approved! That is laughable. It is like saying we won’t accept stories of Trump’s tax return unless he first approves! So they were excoriated by a variety of news outlets around the world and have since rewritten their policy and completely been exposed for their deceit. But that too is only part of the story. Apparently the FBI also had this evidence and dismissed it as “Russian disinformation”. Think about that for a minute. There was a three year investigation of Trump due to the allegation made by Clinton’s camp of Trump working with the Russians. They spent millions on the investigation, had an impeachment hearing, and did everything in their power to find evidence that would indict the president. During this time I supported the investigation 100%. My thought was if he is guilty I want to know, if he is innocent I want to know. Many complained about the time and expense and my position was “it is well worth the cost to know the answer to this question”. Yet now you actually have real, physical evidence that proves, unequivocally that there was interference in our government at the highest level. Either you have Ukrainian and Chinese buying influence with the Vice President, or you have Russians spreading disinformation during a presidential election. You have clear evidence of the crime they spent three years investigating and they just dismiss it out of hand without opening an investigation? One year later the NY Times prints an article that wow, the Hunter Biden Laptop was real! Not only so but the Daily Mail prints an article saying that Hunter Biden's hedge fund invested in Bioweapons research into deadly pathogens in Ukraine.

So then, in conclusion:

4 Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law. 5 The just Lord is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.

What they are accusing Biden of is the exact same thing they accused Clinton of. Let’s suppose for a minute that Clinton’s foundation was on the up and up. Foreign countries were not buying influence with her by contributing to her foundation. If that were true why did the contributions stop when she lost the election? Talk about no shame, Biden compares his drug addict son getting millions to “make introductions” to him as being similar to any other American trying to rebuild their life after suffering from drug addiction! Bill Clinton went to pedophile island and if Hillary had been president that would have been the front page news! Joe Biden’s “party” wants to pack the Supreme court with more than 9 Supreme court justices and he has the nerve to tell us that we should ignore that and instead focus on the President who nominated a Supreme court justice (his constitutional job) and the Senate who is confirming that nomination (their constitutional job)! He tells us he’ll let us know by election day how he stands on packing the Supreme court yet people are already voting now! There is no shame! Then he nominates a Supreme court justice who is as soft on pedophiles as is possible while also not being able to define what a woman is.

Pit Bulls for the Lord

Now compare Saul who was complacent and clueless with David's mighty men.

Over the last two years I have been so impressed with Steve Bannon, a pit bull who would not let go despite the odds. I would say he has led the ground game against this illegitimate Biden regime. He pushed the precinct strategy, he had heros like Dr. Malone and Dr. Wolf on who are exposing the pandemic as a bioweapon and the vaccine as a fraud. It was there actions that forced Pfizer to release 55,000 documents and then they organized an army of 1400 to go through the documents and then refer any issues to a second group of over 200 lawyers. He promoted the parents who went to the school board meetings. He has people at the Southern border exposing the invasion, people in Europe giving us the true story on the war, he brings on Project Veritas as they expose CNN, Revolver as they expose the January 6th farce. He has also been all over the election fraud with evidence of ballot stuffing and pushing for the election audits and calling for "it's the canvas not the count". He considers this the "ground game" while Mike Lindell's assault on the Dominion machines as the "air game". There are others, Tucker Carlson does a wonderful job of exposing the hypocrisy of this regime, particularly concerning the push for war in Ukraine and this SCOTUS nominee.

This is only one side of the war, the "Martha" side. There is also the "Mary" side. People like Pastor Sandy at S4C Community and Dr. Barry Awe. Pastor Sandy is wonderful in that every week he comes out with new messages concerning the Lord's imminent return. Dr. Barry Awe packages all of the Biblical references into two hour summaries every month. Then you have DTBM with very solid Biblical teaching as well as the late Chuck Missler. They fill the internet with powerful teaching. Dana Coverstone has taken massive attacks and yet his dreams have woken so many up. Prophecy Club has been plugging away for thirty years. I know some mock "dreams and visions" but this shows how clueless they are. One of the Biblical prophecies states that these dreams and visions are a sign at the end of the age. If we didn't have them then that would be a concern. Steve Fletcher is equally awesome, everyday finding some current event that ties into the Biblical prophecies as a sign. Then you have Godaminute everyday trying to keep everyone upbeat and encouraging everyone during this battle. My attitude is everyday to post from any of these guys. Although I don't post videos directly from Bannon or Lindell or Carlson you will see me tie the things in to an exposition on the word that I post. I feel like these posts are spiritual mortars pounding the enemy everyday. The Lord said His word would not return to Him void, and that is my sense, send out the word everyday.
