Rumors of War

Matthew 24:6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

I find this verse quite interesting, why would "rumors of wars" be a sign of the Lord's coming? I always used to think this was some kind of joke, wars, that is bad, but a rumor of a war? Well consider what we have seen, we had Washington DC surrounded by troops and barbed wire due to a "rumor of war". We had the biggest cyber attack on US soil, we had a cyber attack which shut down the pipeline, and we have evidence that the Pandemic was an act of war. It used to be we either were at war or we weren't but now the deep state, traitors, and people with their secret plots of evil have made "rumors of war" a major industry. What is "Q" if not a rumor of war. I remember after 9/11 they would have threat level orange, or threat level red, and it was absurd. The way you manipulate people in a democracy is with fear. Is this pandemic real or a rumor? Regardless of what you think the answer is you have to admit that the authorities are not being transparent and we are not getting straight, honest answers. After all how does the government manipulate the populace to hand over all power and authority to the central government, they give you scary rumors of imminent threats and wars.

Then look at what is next "famines and earthquakes". This translation has left out pestilences. Darby is an excellent translation and it says "and there shall be famines and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places." The discrepancy is because the difference in spelling in the two words is very similar, hence some translators may have thought it was simply a repetition. But look at it, not "a famine" but "famines". I read the news that we have a shortage of chicken, not only so but there are many other things that the supply chain is having a hard time filling. Lumber has gone through the roof, we have shortages of gasoline, etc. I don't think that famine only refers to food, but rather shortages of any essential commodity. Sri Lanka has declared bankruptcy, Russia has stopped payint their debts in US dollars. We even have a shortage of workers while at the same time having record unemployment. The real impact of the pandemic is that it has caused a disruption to the supply chain. It is very possible that the pandemic was an act of war (though that is just a rumor at the moment) and that the purpose was to disrupt the supply chain (for example shutting the pipeline down to cause gasoline shortage). This is how the Antichrist will seize power. But these in turn lead to "pestilences". Not one pandemic, but a plural number of diseases. Shanghai a city of 26 million is locked down tight and the US has announced two new deadly variants are impacting our country. When they first shut down NYC they told us it would be for one month, that was twenty five months ago. There is a prophecy that says it will be like when someone dreams and in the dream they eat a big banquet feast but then wake up to discover they are still starving. All of these optimistic proclamations from politicians will be like these dreams. Besides, it is simply science. You have wars and famines for over a year, all the great slums of the world cannot shut down for that length of time nor can they "socially distance". These slums like those in Brazil, South Africa and India become breeding grounds for more virulent pestilences that will spread worldwide. I see videos of our border and there is a constant stream of immigrants into the country, over 2 million this year and that number is about to grow exponentially. They are rounded up and kept in super spreader pens until everyone has been exposed and then they are bused and flown all over the country. Anyway I think we are just on the cusp of "pestilences". After that it says "earthquakes", we have had a 34% increase in earthquake activity this year. Strange how the "news" doesn't report that. So think how strange this is, we have a worldwide pandemic that shuts down the world's economy with countries mandating vaccine passports and quarantine camps and instituting martial law. Perhaps we have seen something similar to this in history but never on this scale. We are also seeing rumors of war as well as wars. Manipulating people with "rumors of war" is a relatively new phenomenon. True false flag events became a common tactic once we had democracies, but calling 50% of the US population "terrorists" and throwing people into solitary confinement who were only guilty of trespassing, that is altogether new for this country. Wars are from tyrants and sociopaths who don't care if your kids die to make them richer and more powerful. Rumors of war are how these tyrants will rule under the illusion of a democracy. Famines are another sign of mismanagement by human government. We see three kinds of governments: open totalitarian regimes, phony democracies, and third world inept regimes. Finally there is geologic evidence that this catastrophic end of the age event is coming and they are hiding it from us. We can see it in the increase in earthquakes, the dramatic rise in Schumann Resonance, the huge increase in reported meteor events, and people who have videotaped their cameras or telescopes spotting these objects.

This verse is a very wonderful picture that the whole world lies in the evil one and that he is a liar and a thief and a murderer.

The question for this blog is can this continue like this for another year?

2 Peter 3:4 and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

So is this true? We have seen wars for the last 2,000 years. We have seen several pandemics during these two thousand years. We have seen famines and we have seen earthquakes in various places. Rumors of war appear to be a relatively new development as we have had democracies that need to manipulated by the rulers.

But, have we ever seen all of these things taking place at once all over the globe before? Was it ever like this before? A real estate company in China is about to go bankrupt and the entire world's economy is shaken. That has never happened before. Russia invades Ukraine and all of a sudden we are talking about famine due to reducing exports of wheat and fertilizer and Sri Lanka declares bankruptcy.

What we are seeing for the first time is how interconnected the entire world is where something happens in one corner of the globe and the entire globe shakes the same day. We are also seeing things happen much faster, one after another. You get the sense that the world is speeding up and moving towards a climax. The question for this blog is can it continue like this for another year? Could the natural disasters continue to increase at an ever increasing rate, could the lockdowns, martial law, and quarantine camps continue to increase at an increasing rate, could the wars and rumors continue to increase? I don't think so. I feel like the world's economy is a "runaway train" and when we hit the curve we will crash. People seem to have had it, they realize people are lying and they are refusing to take it anymore. People realize they are being manipulated, that the elites are mocking them and we have come to a breaking point. I don't believe it can continue as it has been any longer.

Many argue that "no one knows the day or the hour" of the rapture, but I'm not interested in when the rapture takes place. Right now I am wondering about the tribulation, the last seven years of the age, and as far as I can see that begins with the Feast of Trumpets. The Feast of Trumpets is September 25th and 26th of 2022. Post #1965 gives a wonderful explanation of the biblical calendar. My point is simple, if the Tribulation begins with the Feast of Trumpets I believe it must be in 2022.

Lord, give us a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear

Deuteronomy 29:29 These are the words of the covenant which Jehovah commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.

2 And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that Jehovah did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land; 3 the great trials which thine eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders: 4 but Jehovah hath not given you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day. 5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxed old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxed old upon thy foot. 6 Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink; that ye may know that I am Jehovah your God. 7 And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them: 8 and we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of the Manassites. 9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.

We read this and think how could they possibly still not see or hear? You saw 10 plagues in Egypt, you crossed the Red sea, all of these incredible wonders, how do you not see? What about us? Israel returns back to the land after 2,000 years according to the prophecies in the word of God. The Holocaust killed 1/3 of all Jews on Earth just as the crucifixion of Jesus killed 1/3 of the Godhead. Still you don't believe the book of Revelation when it says 1/3 of those living on Earth will die?


You saw the 9 harbingers related to 911, yet you don't see? You saw the Revelation 12 sign, the sign of Jonah, and now you see Ezekiel 38 playing out right before your eyes and yet you still can't see or hear? I could go on but the real issue is not to list all the signs, and wonders, and prophecies that have been fulfilled. After all the copyright for the vaccine they want to give everyone is 666, don't worry about that, a worldwide pandemic just like Joel prophesied about, don't worry about that, and we learn that we are compassed about with liars just like Psalm 120 prophesied about. The real issue is we need a heart to know. We need eyes to see and we need ears to hear. The real issue is that we need to go back to the covenant we made with God and honor that.

You stand before the Lord that He may be unto thee a God

Deuteronomy 29:10 Ye stand this day all of you before Jehovah your God; your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, even all the men of Israel, 11 your little ones, your wives, and thy sojourner that is in the midst of thy camps, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water; 12 that thou mayest enter into the covenant of Jehovah thy God, and into his oath, which Jehovah thy God maketh with thee this day; 13 that he may establish thee this day unto himself for a people, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he spake unto thee, and as he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

14 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath, 15 but with him that standeth here with us this day before Jehovah our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day 16 (for ye know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which ye passed; 17 and ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them); 18 lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from Jehovah our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood; 19 and it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to destroy the moist with the dry. 20 Jehovah will not pardon him, but then the anger of Jehovah and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book shall lie upon him, and Jehovah will blot out his name from under heaven. 21 And Jehovah will set him apart unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law.

We have a covenant with God and there is a price to pay if you violate that covenant. We want God to honor it, well it is a two way street.

22 And the generation to come, your children that shall rise up after you, and the foreigner that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses wherewith Jehovah hath made it sick; 23 and that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and a burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which Jehovah overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath: 24 even all the nations shall say, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger? 25 Then men shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of Jehovah, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, 26 and went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods that they knew not, and that he had not given unto them: 27 therefore the anger of Jehovah was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curse that is written in this book; 28 and Jehovah rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as at this day. 29 The secret things belong unto Jehovah our God; but the things that are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

What does this mean all of these curses coming upon the US? It is because they forsook the covenant of Jehovah, the God of their fathers. God brought them here and yet they served other gods.

The Lord had to Spit in this guys face to wake him up to what is going on.

Matthew 26:67 Then did they spit in his face and buffet him: and some smote him with the palms of their hands,


I think this verse is easy to understand.

Mark 8:23 And he took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village; and when he had spit on his eyes, and laid his hands upon him, he asked him, Seest thou aught?

But this is not.

Mark 10:34 and they shall mock him, and shall spit upon him, and shall scourge him, and shall kill him; and after three days he shall rise again.

Yep, that is how I understand spitting in someone’s face. And that is just 2 chapters laters in Mark.

Mark 14:65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the officers received him with blows of their hands.

Yep, Mark seems really clear on how we would understand someone spitting in our face.

Luke 18:32 For he shall be delivered up unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon:

Luke too seems to get it.

John 9:6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay,

But this story by John and Mark seems really strange. I went to a number of commentaries and in every case they dodged the issue of spitting in the face being a very big insult. So then, let’s take a look at this chapter to see if the context helps at all.

Mark 8:14 And they forgot to take bread; and they had not in the boat with them more than one loaf. 15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod. 16 And they reasoned one with another, saying, We have no bread. 17 And Jesus perceiving it saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? do ye not yet perceive, neither understand? have ye your heart hardened? 18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember? 19 When I brake the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve. 20 And when the seven among the four thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces took ye up? And they say unto him, Seven. 21 And he said unto them, Do ye not yet understand?

22 And they come unto Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man, and beseech him to touch him. 23 And he took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village; and when he had spit on his eyes, and laid his hands upon him, he asked him, Seest thou aught? 24 And he looked up, and said, I see men; for I behold them as trees, walking. 25 Then again he laid his hands upon his eyes; and he looked stedfastly, and was restored, and saw all things clearly. 26 And he sent him away to his home, saying, Do not even enter into the village.

Now I get it, this is what Paul said.

2Corinthians 11:20 For ye bear with a man, if he bringeth you into bondage, if he devoureth you, if he taketh you captive, if he exalteth himself, if he smiteth you on the face.

When the Lord told them to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod he was referring to their teachings and laws that would bring them into bondage, that would devour their houses, and wealth, take captive the churches, they exalt themselves and they smite you in the face. When we point out their hypocrisy that is what they are doing. When we say "rules for thee but not for me" that is what they are doing. They release felons from prison to kill and steal but put those that were trespassing in the capitol into solitary confinement, that is what they are doing. When they tell us that white supremacists are the biggest threat to this country even though it has been decades since white supremacists killed anyone and yet this man who was very clearly and publicly a black supremacist is ignored to go and shoot up a subway car. This is what they are doing. Beware of that teaching that has blinded you. The Lord had to spit in this guys face to wake him up to what is going on.

Zechariah 9 -- The gospel and new wine skins

Zechariah shows us that the way of victory, the way we must go is the same way that the Lord went at the beginning of this age. Jesus is the author and perfecter of our faith.

1 The burden of the word of Jehovah, in the land of Hadrach, and [on] Damascus shall it rest; (for Jehovah hath an eye upon men, and upon all the tribes of Israel 2 and also [on] Hamath [which] bordereth thereon; on Tyre and Zidon, though she be very wise. 3 And Tyre hath built herself a stronghold, and hath heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets. 4 Behold, the Lord will take possession of her, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire. 5 Ashkelon shall see [it], and fear; Gazah also, and she shall be greatly pained; Ekron also, for her expectation shall be put to shame: and the king shall perish from Gazah, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited. 6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines; 7 and I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; but he that remaineth, he also shall belong to our God, and shall be as a leader in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite. 8 And I will encamp about my house because of the army, because of those that pass by and that return; and the exactor shall not pass through them any more: for now have I seen [it] with mine eyes.

It is very easy for us to become too focused on Israel and forget that God is the God of the whole earth. I did not grow up in Israel yet I saw and I heard what God of the Israelites had done.

9 Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion; shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, thy King cometh to thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly and rIding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass. 10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle-bow shall be cut off. And he shall speak peace unto the nations; and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.

So many of the prophecies in this chapter have been fulfilled with the Lord’s first coming. It is a prophecy of the Lord’s kingdom over the whole earth and of the gospel going out to the ends of the earth.

11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant, I will send forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water. 12 Turn again to the stronghold, prisoners of hope! even to-day do I declare I will render double unto thee. 13 For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will raise up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and make thee like the sword of a mighty man. 14 And Jehovah shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet, and will march with whirlwinds of the south. 15 Jehovah of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, [and] make a noise as from wine; and they shall be filled like a bowl, like the corners of the altar.

This is part of the gospel, it is part of the New Covenant, you can certainly read about this in Ephesians, Corinthians, Timothy, Peter, and Revelation. The Lord’s people are being turned into an army through the gospel. They are just and they are lowly, but they are also like a bow filled with arrows and they are like the sword of a mighty man. They shall devour and they shall tread down. We are seeing this army devour the criminals from this election fraud. In Maricopa county they released a letter detailing massive election fraud after only reviewing 20% of the ballots. Why did they release it now? Biden’s DOJ was going to shut it down. Now the entire world knows that Arizona’s results were a fraud, that those who were telling us it was the most secure election ever were lying, and if Biden’s DOJ tries to shut it down now it will be a confirmation that this fraud is nationwide and the election was phony. These people, the “deplorables” were lowly, but they had excellent investigators, they had thousands of honest people who walked according to their conscience regardless of the cost, and they were volunteers. No one paid them millions of dollars to do this investigation. Over 150 million people have seen the evidence of election fraud. Biden is now polling at less than 40% approval! An honest poll might find that 75% of Americans do not trust him and think he is a liar. That is huge, if they had uncovered election fraud on November 6th people would have thought it was Trump and that would have divided the nation. But over the last seventeen months as more and more is revealed about Biden and his administration people have been able to wake up to the fraud. 10% of those who voted for him said they wouldn’t had they known about the Hunter Biden scandal. How about those who are seeing the border crisis and voted to stop the “human rights abuses” at the border, no doubt they are regretting that vote now. What about those who thought that electing Biden would cause the riots and protests to stop? How about those who are alarmed at what is happening in Afghanistan, Ukraine, Israel, or Taiwan? How about the small business owners who are being destroyed by his policies, or those on Wall street seeing the inflation and realizing the world is going to abandon the US dollar for cryptocurrency? A recent poll found that 60% of small businesses that closed in the pandemic have not reopened. His first national address to the country got less than a third of the viewers that Trump’s first address did. All of these things help convince people that the claim that Biden got 11 million more votes than Obama is absurd.

Still others like Bill Maher and Nicki Minaj that were a mouthpiece for liberals have become repulsed at “cancel culture” and censorship. Many of our minorities have been solidly Democrat but they came from socialist regimes like Cuba and Venezuela. They are alarmed at what is happening and realize they saw the same thing in the countries they fled.

CNN’s ratings are dropping by 40 even 60% while Steve Bannon and Dan Bongino are seeing their ratings skyrocket. Companies that bowed to “cancel culture” saw their sales plummet. The NBA has been exposed as hypocrites condemning the US while bowing to the CCP.

Platforms like Twitter, Facebook and Youtube have tried to censor what people say. As a result they have lost millions of users and new platforms like Gab, Rumble, and FrankSpeech have risen up to replace them. Elon Musk's bid to buy Twitter has completely exposed them, basically saying they trust Saudi Arabia to decide what is and is not true while allowing free speech in the event that Musk buys Twitter would threaten democracy.

16 And Jehovah their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people; for [they shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted up upon his land.

This is a reference to the rapture at the end of the age.

17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Corn shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maidens.

This is a reference to the word of God. At the end of the age there will be “new wine” just as the Lord’s ministry at the beginning of the age was “new wine”. Notice, you can’t put the new wine into old wine skins. The Lord shut down the church meetings prior to this, because this new wine would have burst the wine skins. The pastors are all kept in that pit without water, afraid to say anything that would threaten their tax exempt status. The new wine skins are in cyber space and are in rallies in the street.

No food no Peace

He said this during the broadcast and it hit me, I wanted to emphasize this. If you see countries declare bankruptcy, or experience famine then you know there will be no peace.

For the next 7 days this sunspot will be facing the Earth. If it fires out a flare it can take two days to arrive. So let's say the next 9-10 days we have a very high chance of a major CME hitting earth from these sun spots.

Behold, they prevail nothing

John 12:18 For this cause also the multitude went and met him, for that they heard that he had done this sign. 19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Behold how ye prevail nothing; lo, the world is gone after him.

It is abundantly clear that in seven months there will be a massive victory for this populous movement at the polls. The Congress will see a clean sweep, a third of the Senate will be up for reelection and that will give them a massive victory there as well. The populist movement is controlling the precincts, they are controlling the school boards, once they control congress and the senate then they will impeach Biden and Harris. How can they turn this around? You can't undo what happened in Afghanistan. You can't undo what you have done at the border. You can't undo the present collapse of the world's economy. They aren't falling for false flag events. The FBI is looking like fools, or worse, like criminals. No one is paying any attention to CNN or MSNBC anymore. No one is buying the "white supremacists" argument, and the vaccine mandate is another cause for a rift. This populous movement includes Nicki Minaj and Bill Maher! You can't describe it is right wing Evangelical nut jobs. You can't describe it as rural white trash. The two biggest issues to voters in California is inflation and crime! That is the liberal stronghold! So much for shutting down the pipeline or defunding the police. Biden has tried to blame Trump, no one bought it, he tried to blame Putin and even MSNBC debunked that.

They can't wait until November 2022, they have to act now just like at the time of Jesus.

Zechariah 10 -- At the time of the latter rain some will beseech the Lord and others will listen to sorcerers.

1 Ask of the Lord rain in the time of the latter or spring rain. It is the Lord Who makes lightnings which usher in the rain and give men showers, and grass to everyone in the field.

The Lord gives us a beautiful picture of what it will be like “in the time of the latter or spring rain”. Once again the spring harvest festival is the festival of the firstfruits. The Spring rain helps both the firstfruits ripen and the fall harvest sprout. The rapture is likened to the harvest, but prior to the harvest you will have this rain and at this time you will have God’s faithful people beseeching Him for this rain. The rain is a blessing that falls from heaven, it is a fresh word from God. What have we seen these last few years? Dana Coverstone’s dreams went viral and along with them many other rapture dreams. I have watched many of these and have noticed that for a great majority of them we are talking about new believers and believers who have recently repented, often as a result of these dreams. Then there are those who have focused on the signs in the heavens, a topic many Christians are completely unfamiliar with but which is also very relevant since we have recently seen quite a few of those signs that were prophesied. We also have those that help us understand the Hebrew and the Greek. There are those who are preaching the word both from the old and new testaments. The Lord has made this, the rain, at the latter time. Just like James said, if you receive the rain from heaven you should have something to show for it, the grass in the field.

2 For the teraphim (household idols) have spoken vanity (emptiness, falsity, and futility) and the diviners have seen a lie and the dreamers have told false dreams; they comfort in vain. Therefore the people go their way like sheep; they are afflicted and hurt because there is no shepherd.

At the same time that the Lord is sending blessing from heaven the world is getting their speaking from sorcerers. A modern sorcerer works for the pharmaceutical companies and in the bioengineering world. Fauci is the modern day sorcerer. Let’s consider what he has spoken carefully. When he was advising Trump he was the one saying not to worry about Covid 19 and he advised against shutting down traffic from Wuhan to the US. There were very knowledgeable scientists in both China and the US warning that this could become a pandemic as early as January and yet Fauci was with those ridiculing and mocking them. He told everyone that they didn’t need masks and later said he said that knowing it was a lie because we were short of masks. Why were we short? Since Fauci had been advised of the potential threat of this pandemic as early as January, even though he disagreed, shouldn’t he have seen that the US was stocked with PPE just in case? When Trump said that HCQ could be used to treat Covid Fauci said that scientists had determined that it was not effective and even dangerous. That was a lie. Scientists had not determined any such thing and only now have we learned that it is the opposite, scientists have determined that HCQ is effective if used early. Fauci originally told us the shut down would be for a month and that was about 14 months ago. He has since mandated masks and yet studies have been done which show masks are not effective and actually increase the risk of respiratory illness. He has mandated the vaccine for everyone even if they had already recovered from Covid. Yet a few years earlier he was asked if a person who had recovered from the Flu should still get the flu shot and he said no, he said the best vaccine is to recover from the virus. What we are seeing is the flock of sheep separating into two groups, one following the lord and the other following the sorcerers, the “household idols” that speak vanity on TV. They listen to these talking heads on their TV even though they lie, they comfort in vain (the vaccine is neither safe nor effective) and they have given false dreams (we'll shut down for two weeks). The CDC has admitted there is no scientific reason why those who are vaccinated should wear a mask. However, the people on the TV speaking vanity are outraged. If you don’t have to wear a mask how would they know who is vaccinated and who isn’t? Think how idiotic that is. They tell you that you must get vaccinated to protect yourself from the virus. If you are vaccinated why would you care if someone else isn’t, aren’t you protected? The people listening to them are afflicted. Their kids have to stay home, businesses are shut, and there is evidence that the vaccine carries significant risks that they are unable to assess since the data on that is kept from them. They are like a flock of sheep without a shepherd being attacked and ravaged by the wolves. Every day their numbers dwindle and shrink more and more.

"I've never seen anything like it!" Reminds me of "the death star".

The Mandate of Hell

Do what we say or else you die. This is what some are inferring is the purpose of vaccinating everyone with a "vaccine" that actually compromises your immune system so that with every shot you become more and more susceptible to the next variant sweeping the world. As a result if you don't get the next "booster" you die. Couple this with a social credit score and if you are not completely submissive and obedient to these evil overlords then they pull the plug and you die.

So not only do they want to reduce world population by 7 billion to 500 million, but they also want to make sure that those 500 million are completely obedient to their evil masters.

Zechariah 10:3-5 True shepherds compared to the army of the Lord

3 My anger is kindled against the shepherds [who are not true shepherds] and I will punish the goat leaders, for the Lord of hosts has visited His flock, the house of Judah, and will make them as His beautiful and majestic horse in the battle.

Make no mistake, this is a battle. Smallwell, Schiff, Pelosi, Fauci, these are the “goat leaders”. They make themselves out to be the “greatest of all time” but the Lord clearly has them in derision. He tells us He will punish them. Fauci’s involvement in the gain of function research at the Wuhan lab including this particular virus is now coming to light. Schiff’s involvement in phony impeachments of Trump and his obstruction of justice is also coming to light. Smalwell’s involvement with Chinese spies, Pelosi’s stock trades on inside information, it is all being revealed and they will be punished for their crimes. Liz Cheney was recently punished, Newsom is being recalled, Cuomo had to resign. They will all be punished while God’s people are transformed from sheep to a beautiful and majestic horse prepared for battle. Steve Bannon and his “War Room Pandemic” has been preparing God’s people for battle. Women’s groups rose up to organize the “Stop the Steal” rallies, a modern day Esther. Liz Cheney was kicked out of leadership because these ones rose up to get involved with the precincts in the Republican party. The audit in Arizona has discovered massive fraud and released the evidence. It is no longer possible to shut this down and we will see audits go on all over the country. Parents are flooding the school board meetings and expressing extreme displeasure at the curriculum, even voting board members out. This is nationwide, whether they are starting new platforms, responding to the cancel culture, organizing recall efforts, etc. What we are seeing is a beautiful and majestic horse prepared for battle.

4 Out of him [Judah] shall come forth the Cornerstone, out of him the tent peg, out of him the battle bow; every ruler shall proceed from him.

This is what we are seeing. We have cornerstones like Mike Lindell setting up new platforms and releasing compelling and damning evidence of fraud that has been seen by hundreds of millions of people. We have tent pegs like those who go to precinct meetings, school board meetings, or organize rallies. And we have the “battle bow” like Rudolph Giuliani and Steve Bannon who have relentlessly pursued these crooks.

5 And they shall be like mighty men treading down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle, and they shall fight because the Lord is with them, and the [oppressor’s] riders on horses shall be confounded and put to shame.

That’s right, the “deplorables” get their hands and feet dirty, sloshing through the mud and the muck in the streets. The “oppressors” like Zuckerburg and Gates ride on horses with hundreds of millions of dollars they can sprinkle around but they are confounded. The people they are giving money to are not like mighty men, rather they are like long haired hippies who were draft dodgers. They are great at screaming and yelling and shouting out threats. But they are disorganized and have a very high incidence of being killed by “friendly fire”. The cancel culture cancelling anyone, even their own armies. They are like those clowns caught on video camera running hidden ballots through the machines over and over again.

Zechariah 10:6-7 Then the redeemed of the Lord will be like a mighty warrior

6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah and I will save the house of Joseph [Ephraim]. I will bring them back and cause them to dwell securely, for I have mercy, loving-kindness, and compassion for them. They shall be as though I had not cast them off, for I am the Lord their God, and I will hear them.

Judah represent those who stand on the word (the law) and Ephraim refers to the redeemed of the Lord (when Jacob blessed them he crossed his arms, the redeemed are those blessed by the Lord’s work on the cross). We prayed for the truth to come out concerning the election fraud and the Lord answered with Peter Navarro’s report, Mike Lindell’s movies and the Arizona audit. Now with Durham's investigation coming out, and the investigation into Pfizer coming out, and the investigation into the pedophiles coming out this is like a flood that can no longer be held back. This is what we will see and the purpose of the tribulation. We'll see the believers return to the Lord and be absolute. We will see that the Lord is the one who will cause us to dwell securely. We will see a clear contrast between His mercy and loving-kindness and the administration of the Antichrist likened to a beast. Those who were left behind, cast off, will be as though they weren't cast off, there will be a great revival, everyone will know they are the people of God, and if they pray God will hear and answer them.

7 Then Ephraim [the ten tribes] shall become like a mighty warrior, and their hearts shall rejoice as through wine; yes, their children shall see it and rejoice; their hearts shall feel great delight and glory triumphantly in the Lord!

I would like to share a video with you but apparently can't. So instead if you look at the profile picture you can see a shot of the January 6 rally at Washington DC as people stood from the White House all the way to the Washington monument. They estimate at least 500,000 were there, but this verse is talking about during the tribulation. There will be millions, like a mighty warrior. Everyone is so focused on Armageddon and their millions, but this will be the army of the Lord.
