The Month of Sivan -- A revelation of the divine Messiah
The Letter Zion is associated with Sivan.
This is in the sign of the twins, God with us. He is both God and man. The word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld His glory. Jesus is both the suffering servant and the righteous judge. During this month there is a great opportunity for unbelievers to become converts. This is the only sign in the heavens depicting man and that Jesus is the second Adam. The torah came in human form. God gives this during this month because He is opening the door for "the wicked twin" to become a convert. This is why we offer up two leavened loafs, they depict human beings (twins) that the door is open for both to come into the covenant.
The tribe associated with this month is Zebulun. This tribe was most known for charity to Issachar, and Issachar was most known for teaching Torah. Zebulun became the benefactor to those who teach the word and so they were blessed. Zebulun also represents the blue of the ocean, the blue of the sky and the blue of the throne of glory. It is the month of steps that lead to the heavens. You have to go from the ocean, to the sky to the throne of glory.
Matthew 4:12 Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee; 13 and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali: 14 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
15 The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
Toward the sea, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles,
16 The people that sat in darkness
Saw a great light,
And to them that sat in the region and shadow of death,
To them did light spring up.
17 From that time began Jesus to preach, and to say, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
This is the month in which things are revealed. Things which have been hidden are brought into a revelation. This is the month where the Torah was given. The month where heaven and earth come together, they make a connection and there is revelation.
During this month the ark of the covenant came to rest upon the mountain tops. The rain ceased. The judgement, the correction, the purification ceases and we begin to see the waters recede indicating a new beginning.
The rabbis will say "David, King of Israel, is alive and he endures". His kingdom is renewed just like the moon is renewed every month. Jesus will be revealed, He will be concealed, and then He will be revealed again!
When is the Master coming? When the people who sit in darkness see a great light.
This month is also connected to the prophet Zephaniah. The Torah is independent of time and space. Given at an unknown location and unknown time. He has gone ahead of you and fixed your mistake, fought your battles. He is three days ahead of you. Sivan represents this mystery of three where past, present and future all come together and we experience a new creation.
God reigns, God reigned, God will reign. This will be the response to the rapture. You will see that God reigns and makes all things new, you will realize that everything they told you in the Bible was true and that God reigned telling you the end from the beginning, and you will know that the kingdom of the heavens is at hand with Jesus bringing in his millenial reign.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.
The word for workmanship is "masterpiece" and we will be unveiled at the end of the age. That is the rapture, the unveiling of the Lord's masterpiece and the appropriate month for this unveiling is Sivan, when the whole world sees that Jesus was manifested in the flesh and walked among them.
The frequency of the letter Zion is spirit, sustenance and struggle. It is the number 7. Everything is related to 7. It is a focal point where everything comes to perfection which is why the rain stopped. Everything comes into its reality.
The letter can depict sustenance from God or if the letter is spelled out it can depict a sword. The sword of the spirit. We are equipped during this month to fight our spiritual battles. We fight with the weapons God has given us and it is with the frequency of the number 7 indicating the church is the warrior.

To celebrate Shavuot you are supposed to count out seven complete sabbaths. Then it is the next day.
If a Sabbath is depicted by the number 7, then 70 is complete sabbaths or true meaning of sabbath. So then 70 sevens is the true meaning of 7 sabbaths.
The true meaning of Shavuot was God incarnated in the flesh who has come to make a covenant with man. This covenant is a marriage proposal.

Prayer for the Truth
Lord as I search for the truth concerning the rapture let me not wander down fruitless paths.
Teach me the truth. Open me to your light. Remove from me the erroneous concepts. Make me to understand your word in a deeper way. Strengthen me in your word and in this pursuit. Take away from me those who would mislead and deceive. Lord Jesus grant me graciously to be blessed in this pursuit. Make me to go after every golden grain of truth, incline me to hear your speaking in the word. Turn away those who would distract and hinder this pursuit. Revive me with fresh revelation. Help me as I pursue You. Save me from myself, uphold me daily, and hold me close. Lord we are looking for the redemption of our body, and I am praying that you would shine on me. Please hear me as I pray, consider me, and come upon me with your Spirit that will guide me into all the truth. Every morning seek me and revive me again. Turn away my eyes from worthless things.

A Master class in the fear of the Lord
Zephaniah 1:1 The word of Jehovah which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.
Zephaniah is a descendant of the king. He is not an outsider. This would be like someone today who is descended from Teddy Roosevelt and FDR speaking the word of God to us.
2 I will utterly consume all things from off the face of the ground, saith Jehovah.
This gets our attention. We have seen 97 food processing plants catch fire and burn down in the last 18 months. We have seen tens of thousands of cows drop dead and millions of chickens slaughtered because they have bird flu. We see shortages in baby formula and a host of other things, particularly something called DEF which means the trucks cannot run. We have also heard that we have a big shortage in fertilizer which will cause a greatly reduced harvest. In short we have had dreams, visions, signs and manufactured shortages that have caught our attention, that God is going to consume all things from off the face of the ground.
3 I will consume man and beast; I will consume the birds of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the face of the ground, saith Jehovah.
This verse begins and ends with consuming man from off the face of the ground. First He will consume man and beast. This sounds like the crime spree we have seen nationwide. Shootouts in the street. Scary videos from the subway. Mass murders at elementary schools. Then He wipes out birds with bird flu, empties the ocean of fish, and then He will deal with the stumblingblocks and the wicked. This sounds like the Attorney Generals who act as stumblingblocks for prosecuting criminals, letting people out of prison, and looking into election fraud. He will also consume the wicked. This sounds like Epstein and all those that went to Pedophile island. It sounds like Joe Biden and the laptop from hell with Hunter Biden. It sounds like Hillary Clinton and the Steele dossier. It sounds like Pelosi, Schumer and Schiff and this January 6th investigation. It sounds like all those politicians and people like Psaki who encouraged mobs outside the house of the Supreme court justices to intimidate them.
4 And I will stretch out my hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarim with the priests; 5 and them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship, that swear to Jehovah and swear by Malcam; 6 and them that are turned back from following Jehovah; and those that have not sought Jehovah, nor inquired after him.
This sounds like the Moloch and Baal worshippers, the swamp in Washington DC, all the bioweapons labs producing their snake venom, their priests (people like Fauci), all those who are drinking blood, and all these religious leaders who are hypocrites, wearing a mask of being a follower of the Lord but not seeking Him and not inquiring of Him.
7 Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord Jehovah; for the day of Jehovah is at hand: for Jehovah hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath consecrated his guests.
We should be very clear, this is what the book of Zephaniah is about. The Lord has prepared a big banquet, a wedding banquet, and this will include a sacrifice. His masterpiece, the church, has been sanctified, but also all these ones who have not inquired or sought after the Lord will also play a key role as a sacrifice.
The book of Hebrews refers to Jesus saying that God did not desire a sacrifice but prepared Him a body. Jesus' body was the sacrifice. Jesus told all His believers that they needed to take up their cross and follow Him. Paul said that we needed to present our bodies a living sacrifice. Unfortunately, we come to the end of the age and not everyone did that. The day of the Lord is at hand and when He gets ready for the banquet it is very clear that many believers have turned back from following the Lord, they have not sought the Lord and they have not inquired of Him. Now you can plead with them to repent. But for those who do not have a suitable fear of the Lord they are about to get a master class in what the fear of the Lord is.

Curses on the Apostasy
Zephaniah 1:8 And it shall come to pass in the day of Jehovah’s sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king’s sons, and all such as are clothed with foreign apparel.
As we are hit with all these shortages we are becoming acutely aware of the perils of globalism. I heard that there is an eighteen month wait on windows. As a result, for the lack of a window a house cannot be built. Ships can't unload and wait for weeks off the coast. When they do unload the cargo is ruined. Truck drivers are not allowed to drive because they aren't vaccinated. It can take six months to get a new tire. Again, for the lack of one part a truck cannot be used. The shortage in fertilizer is one example, the shortage in DEF is another, and the shortage in oil and gas is still a third. I recently heard that NATO can't build tanks because they can't import titanium. It turns out that all these "princes" are clothed in foreign apparel and now are about to be punished for it.
9 And in that day I will punish all those that leap over the threshold, that fill their master’s house with violence and deceit.
The mortgage crisis in 2008 was a case of filling their master's house with violence and deceit. The brokers who were selling NINJA loans were deceitful, knowing that in a few years they would snatch the house right out from under these ignorant borrowers. The companies that sold these mortgages knew what was going on, they were the "master's house". Lehman brothers and all the rest knew exactly what they were doing.
10 And in that day, saith Jehovah, there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and a wailing from the second quarter, and a great crashing from the hills.
Reminds me of the noise of a cry from the Wuhan fish market. That is where they claimed the pandemic originated from. The second quarter is a reference to the institutions of higher learning, which reminds me of CRT and all the ways in which the left have infiltrated our universities. A great crashing of the hills. The ivory towers, the talking heads, the mainstream media are all crashing down as people wake up and realize they are frauds.
11 Wail, ye inhabitants of Maktesh; for all the people of Canaan are undone; all they that were laden with silver are cut off.
Yep, there goes the stock market. To stop the inflation they have to raise interest rates and slow down the economy. However, by raising interest rates they make it very expensive to finance a car or house. So then we will see the economy grind to a halt with a great depression. Usually if they raise interest rates people will move their money from stocks to bonds. The problem is they are intending to raise interest rates so much in the future that you would be nuts to buy bonds now. People fled to Crypto thinking that was safe not realizing it was highly leveraged and with interest rates rising people needed to get out. This leaves silver, which unfortunately is a critical component in computers and electronics. We are looking at a massive failure of apocalyptic proportions. Famine, inflation, great depression, and people hoarding essential commodities.
12 And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps; and I will punish the men that are settled on their lees, that say in their heart, Jehovah will not do good, neither will he do evil.
This is a very common teaching in Christianity. The goal is to keep the pews filled and the collection plate full. You do that by telling people everything is hunky dory and don't worry. If you tell them the truth they will hate you, they will flee, and the board of directors will kick you out and get a new preacher.
13 And their wealth shall become a spoil, and their houses a desolation: yea, they shall build houses, but shall not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but shall not drink the wine thereof.
This is the judgement on those that do not keep all the commandments in the Torah. Deuteronomy lists these curses. We are betrothed to God, we have a covenant, and if you do all these things there are consequences, severe consequences. I am not "making this up", I am simply reading the word of God. This is what God says He will do. He warned us repeatedly. If you were raised on the "Once Saved Always Saved" doctrine know this, they had to twist scriptures, and ignore many, many scriptures to bring that teaching to you.

The Great Day of the Lord is near.
Zephaniah 1:14 The great day of Jehovah is near, it is near and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of Jehovah; the mighty man crieth there bitterly.
What! All these things we have seen taking place in the last 12 years tells us that "the great day of the Lord is near"! Do you know what the "voice of the day of Jehovah" is? The voice of the Lord has the same numeric value as "the chariots of God", those fiery chariots that took Elijah up as a type of the rapture (and which Israel has called their latest military exercise, oh the irony). This is now the second reference to this event here in chapter 1. We were told about the feast the Lord is preparing, the wedding banquet, and now we hear about "222" the voice of the Lord, the rapture. You would think the rapture would be a joyous occasion, but not for "the mighty man" who is left behind. Again, oh the irony. Not so mighty now.
15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, 16 a day of the trumpet and alarm, against the fortified cities, and against the high battlements.
If you have a healthy fear of the Lord you may be able to be saved from this. If not, you will probably learn this fear in the school of hard knocks. I have seen a few documentaries and docudramas about the Great depression, I have also read the "Good Earth" a book about the famine in China. Combine that with a book about Nagasaki and Hiroshima, the Rape of Nanking, and the black plague and you will have an idea of what the tribulation will be like.
17 And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against Jehovah; and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as dung.
This is the diagnosis. The cure is the blood of Jesus which washes away all our sins. Repent of your sins, confess to Jesus that you need His blood to cleanse you. And then walk in His ways according to the Holy Spirit and the word of God. Repent of your arrogance, it is God who made you and not you Him. He wants people who are constituted with His word, renewed in their spirit.
18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of Jehovah’s wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he will make an end, yea, a terrible end, of all them that dwell in the land.

Seek meekness, it may be ye will be hid in the day of the Lord's anger
Zephaniah 2:1 Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation that hath no shame; 2 before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of Jehovah come upon you, before the day of Jehovah’s anger come upon you.
We have seen our leaders act shamelessly. Nancy Pelosi is putting on a complete show trial that is illegitimate. Doesn't have members named by the Repubicans, she refuses to answer questions herself, and now all the evidence is coming out that the whole January 6th event could have been prevented if she had heeded the warnings she was given two weeks beforehand. The FBI is trying to set people up with the Whitmer kidnapping, that entire thing fell apart, and now we have video evidence of the real ringleaders of the January 6th insurrection and none of those guys are arrested or charged. Meanwhile they are having a show trial accusing Trump of instigating an insurrection by telling people to go and protest peacefully while Schumer was calling for the whirlwind to fall on the heads of the Supreme court justices and in response a man tried to assassinate Kavanaugh. They are shameless and the Lord tells us they will be like the chaff when the wheat is threshed on the threshing floor. Right now this is the wheat harvest, and the world is about to discover all the wheat is gone and all they have is chaff blowing in the wind.
3 Seek ye Jehovah, all ye meek of the earth, that have kept his ordinances; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye will be hid in the day of Jehovah’s anger.
To be hid in the day of the Lord's anger is to be raptured. However, I don't think we really understand this term "meek". Moses was the meekest man on earth. When his brother and sister accused him and judged him Moses said nothing. When others like Korah accused him he again said nothing. We do not see Moses defending himself, or acting self righteously or with any selfishness. However, when he sees them sin against God he breaks the ten commandments, rebukes them, calls for the Levites to see who is on the Lord's side, and they go through the camp and kill the sinners. Yet when God wants to wipe them all out and start again he is the one pleading for them. He was fully committed to God's name being glorified and the kingdom being brought in. There was nothing weak or timid about Moses.
Zephaniah 2:1 Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation that hath no shame; 2 before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of Jehovah come upon you, before the day of Jehovah’s anger come upon you.

Judgement on the Philistines
Zephaniah 2:4 For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation; they shall drive out Ashdod at noonday, and Ekron shall be rooted up.
These are the major cities of the Philistines. I would liken Samson to the MAGA movement. I would compare giving his wife away to the Mortgage meltdown in 2008. This story of him tying the tails of 300 foxes together and putting a firebrand in each to burn up the wheat fields, I would compare that to scaler wave (they have waves from two different satellites in space fired at earth, and where they intersect they will cause fire. We think this is how they are burning up 97 food processing plants in the US. I would liken Delilah to the deep state. Capturing him, putting out his eyes, and then bringing him into their temple I'd liken to the January 6 hearings. Being driven out at noon day would therefore mean they will be put to an open shame for all to see. It will be televised. Pelosi is from San Francisco and Schumer from NYC. We also know that the tech giants and Hollywood are the roots supporting and feeding this monstrosity. So this looks like judgement proclaimed on Washington DC, NYC, San Francisco, LA and Seatle.
5 Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea-coast, the nation of the Cherethites! The word of Jehovah is against you, O Canaan, the land of the Philistines; I will destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.
This is what many dreams, visions and prophecies have said. The recent Millstone dream by Dana Coverstone described a big rope tied to a big stone wraps around the coastline of the US and drags it into the sea. We have heard that as many as 12 cities on our coast will be attacked (Houston, Miami, Boston, etc). We are told that suitcase nukes will go off in these cities, so yes, after that you would have no inhabitants there.
6 And the sea-coast shall be pastures, with cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks. 7 And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed their flocks thereupon; in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening; for Jehovah their God will visit them, and bring back their captivity.

A possession of stinging nettles and saltpits
Zephaniah 2:8 I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, wherewith they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border. 9 Therefore as I live, saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, a possession of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall make a prey of them, and the remnant of my nation shall inherit them.
One thing that has completely dominated the news is this whole LGBTQ+ agenda in which they are grooming kids in public school. We were shocked to learn they had pornographic books in the school libraries, books so filthy that when someone read one of these in a school board meeting they were censored. We have slowly been made aware of how evil is Disney and how their theme parks are prime locations for kids to be kidnapped and trafficked. But here we learn that God is watching this news as well, He has heard this. To make things worse they magnify themselves, a school board is supposed to operate at the whim of the parents but they set themselves above the parents and wanted the DOJ to arrest anyone who showed up to complain. Complying with these wishes the DOJ was willing to classify anyone complaining at a school board meeting as a domestic terrorist. One father of a girl raped at school by a boy who entered the girl's bathroom and then was transferred to another school where he raped a girl there too, when this father complained they dragged him out in handcuffs.
I got to see stinging nettles in England. I hated them, they stick to your clothes and if you try and pull them off they sting. They are like this whole cancel culture woke mob. A salt pit would be the most desolate place, no way any plants can grow in a salt pit. This is what the public school system is going to become. A habitation of this despicable woke cancel culture mob and salt pits. The only solution is to pull your kid from this cursed place.
10 This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of Jehovah of hosts.
Is this a play on words for the Pride movement? Their parades are disgusting. They reproach believers and yet their behavior is abhorrent. Pride is an appropriate term, they are arrogant to the point of being repulsively noxious.
11 Jehovah will be terrible unto them; for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the nations.
Thank you Lord. Remember your word, to do it. Amen and amen.

The train is coming, get out of the way.
A personal testimony -- We refused to get the vaccine and so my wife and I had to leave our jobs. I then urged her to sell her house so we could go somewhere we could work. After much prayer she did that. There was a lot of complaining from members of her family that she sold it for too little. However, inside I was thrilled and had complete peace and assurance from the Lord we did the right thing. Since that time the 30 year mortgage interest rate has risen 3%, that means the value of her house for the person who bought it (a company that flips houses) dropped by $200,000. If she had waited till now, just six months later she would have lost $200k.
When the Lord speaks you need to respond immediately. Sitting around and twiddling your thumbs is a decision you will regret.
The tribulation is coming -- you need to repent, take the Lord's blood and be baptized into the triune God.
If you wait till the tribulation begins you can still be saved, but so as through fire. You will lose everything.

Politically incorrect
Zephaniah 2:12 Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword. 13 And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria, and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like the wilderness.
I am not interested in the fulfillment of this prophecy at the time of Zephaniah. I see this book as a picture of what the world will be like right before the great day of the Lord. I view this prophecy like a fractal (similar patterns recur in progressively smaller scales). We have already been told that we are right before the great day of the Lord and now we are being told, oh yeah, three more groups that will be slain by God's sword, they will be destroyed and left desolate. So when we look around the US can we see these three? Ethiopians, Assyrians, and Nineveh? Well Nineveh was the city that enslaved the Jews, Jonah despised them and held street protests against them. I would argue that the plantation owners became the KKK after the Civil War, from there they became Jim Crowe infiltrating the police, justice department and politicians. That has since evolved into the Democratic party. Obviously half of all democrats associate themselves with that party because they like the siren song they sing. I'm not talking about them, I'm talking about the leaders of the party, the elites, the ones who are steering the party. Lyndon Johnson, you may think he was great for the Civil Rights movement, but how many did he send to die in Vietnam. How have blacks fared as a result of Lyndon Johnson's domestic policies? Bill Clinton sent all the manufacturing jobs to Mexico, how did Detroit fare as a result? Joe Biden sponsored the crime bill that filled our prisons with black men and minorities. Then who would the Assyrians be? That would be Ilan Omar and her posse. Finally the Ethiopians would refer to this BLM charitable organization which just enriches itself, these rap stars which push sex and violence and drugs.
14 And herds shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the pelican and the porcupine shall lodge in the capitals thereof; their voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds: for he hath laid bare the cedar-work.
"All the beasts of the nations" -- that is precisely what we are seeing with the southern border. Someone was at one spot by the river where they throw down their ID's before crossing and he counted 17 different countries. The cartel is running the entire human trafficking operation. We are filling our cities with "beasts" from all nations. Watch the news and see the crime in the streets. See the gangs. These gangs are like beasts lodging in the capitals thereof. And then look at some of these homeless encampments, they look like great herds of animals lying down in the midst of the city. And it isn't silent, you hear them "singing" that loud gangsta rap blaring out their open windows of their cars. Or the music of the low riders. But look at the abandoned buildings, the dilapidated areas of town and you can see the desolation in the thresholds. Usually the sheet rock is all broken up and you can see the structure of these condemned buildings.
15 This is the joyous city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none besides me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand.
Think about that! It is hard to even imagine Detroit in their glory days or NYC in its glory days or Washington DC, or Los Angeles. There was a day when NYC could claim "I am, and there is none beside me" but not today. The image of NYC today is of a frightening subway, a dangerous city, smelly,. crowded, streets filled with pot holes, crime, drugs, and a school system that stinks. Chicago, LA, Washington DC are all the same.

Woe to the oppressing city
3 Woe to her that is rebellious and polluted! to the oppressing city!
The character of this city, and its inhabitants, is, that it was "filthy", and polluted with murders, adulteries, oppression, rapine, and other sins: our Lord often calls them a wicked and an adulterous generation; and yet they pretended to great purity of life and manners; and they were pure in their own eyes, though not washed from their filthiness; they took much pains to make clean the outside of the cup, but within were full of impurity, Matthew 23:25. In the margin it is, "woe to her that is gluttonous". The word is used for the craw or crop of a fowl, Leviticus 1:16 hence some render it (t) "woe to the craw"; to the city that is all craw, to which Jerusalem is compared for its devouring the wealth and substance of others. The Scribes and Pharisees in Christ's time are said to devour widows' houses, Matthew 23:14 and this seems to be the sin with which they were defiled, and here charged with. Some think the word signifies one that is publicly, infamous; either made a public example of, or openly exposed, as sometimes filthy harlots are; or rather one "that has made herself infamous" ; by her sins and vices: (Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible)
I think this has to apply to both Washington DC and to NYC, the financial capital of the US. The oppressing city, again I think must refer to both Washington DC and NYC. Washington DC right now is oppressing the January 6th protestors. Locking them up in prison for 18 months for misdemeanor offenses, accusing them of murder when that is obviously false, accusing them of insurrection when that is obviously false. Likewise with NYC, they were one of the most severe lockdown and vaccine mandate cities in the country. The mortgage meltdown was oppression that was plotted and carried out from NYC and rubber stamped in Washington DC.
2 She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in Jehovah; she drew not near to her God.
These are the four charges against this city.
She obeyed not the voice of the Lord. We saw a concerted effort by the US government and the US commerce to remove God's voice from consideration.
She received not correction. 9/11 was a harbinger. It was designed to correct the US, cause them to repent and turn back to God. They did not do that.
She trusted not in Jehovah. This is so clear in the "build back better" program started by Obama. This was not based on trust in the Lord but in our own strength.
She drew not near to her God. This is so clear in the LGBTQ+ agenda of both the Obama and Biden administration. They are pushing God away and go insane anytime anyone tries to draw near to God.
What we are looking at is a court ruling against these cities. Again, 911 was a warning to both NYC and Washington DC.
3 Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they leave nothing till the morrow.
Crazy spending by Biden is an attempt to grab up every possible dollar they can while they can. We have videos of Schumer, Pelosi, and others "roaring" about January 6, and about guns, and about transgender rights, and about Roe v. Wade. They know they will be voted out of power in November so they are desperate to not leave anything till then.
4 Her prophets are light and treacherous persons; her priests have profaned the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
The prophets are the talking heads on the mainstream media. They are a joke. Kramer was telling us six months ago "to buy the dip" while Bannon was warning of economic collapse. Glad I didn't listen to Kramer. You can see this in all the anchors and pundits on CNN and MSNBC, it is so easy to get clips of them saying one thing and then six months later or a year later admitting that was false (Steel Dossier, Russian disinformation, Hunter Biden laptop, transitory inflation, etc).
The priests would refer to Janet Yellen and Fauci. They have profaned the sanctuary. They are liars, deceitful, treacherous, profane people. They haven't just done things that harm people, threaten kids, bankrupt the economy, they have done violence to the law. They have attacked and undermined the constitution. They have destroyed the faith and trust we have in our institutions.
5 Jehovah in the midst of her is righteous; he will not do iniquity; every morning doth he bring his justice to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.
Watch Steve Bannon's War room pandemic, every morning they are bringing to light justice. Dr. Naomi Wolf is exposing the vaccine, he brings on all the people who exposing election fraud, he has covered the trucker convoy, he is on top of the transhumanism developments. He has exposed the groomers and woke corporations. But these people know no shame. Watch Rand Paul question Fauci, watch Psaki tell us to quit complaining about our Peloton being late, watch Joe Biden tell us the economy is a success, or the withdrawal from Afghanistan was a success.
6 I have cut off nations; their battlements are desolate; I have made their streets waste, so that none passeth by; their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant.
The US is without excuse. We have seen what God has done. We have seen what trusting in God can do. The founding fathers were men of faith. We have six thousand years of human history where we have seen "the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire" and we know exactly the path these empires take that leads to their ruin.
7 I said, Only fear thou me; receive correction; so her dwelling shall not be cut off, according to all that I have appointed concerning her: but they rose early and corrupted all their doings.
Do not misunderstand the Lord's mercy. Yes, He is slow to anger and great in mercy. He only asked this of us: fear Him and receive correction. He never even demanded that we be perfect. Simply fear Him and when He corrects you receive it.
This is the case from the prosecutor. The request was reasonable, measured, fair and merciful. They have rejected all of that and as a result they are rebellious, polluted and oppressing the rest of the world.

The US is without excuse. We have seen what God has done. We have seen what trusting in God can do. The founding fathers were men of faith. We have six thousand years of human history where we have seen "the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire" and we know exactly the path these empires take that leads to their ruin.
7 I said, Only fear thou me; receive correction; so her dwelling shall not be cut off, according to all that I have appointed concerning her: but they rose early and corrupted all their doings.
Do not misunderstand the Lord's mercy. Yes, He is slow to anger and great in mercy. He only asked this of us: fear Him and receive correction. He never even demanded that we be perfect. Simply fear Him and when He corrects you receive it.
This is the case from the prosecutor. The request was reasonable, measured, fair and merciful. They have rejected all of that and as a result they are rebellious, polluted and oppressing the rest of the world.
All Nations
Zephaniah 3:8 Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
Yes, you can apply this chapter to Jerusalem, and yes you can apply it to Washington DC and NYC, but let's be honest, London, Moscow, Berlin, Rome, they are all the same. This is the defense, how can you say the US is worse than Amsterdam or Berlin, or London, or Rome? Is the US really worse than Iran, N. Korea, Cuba, or Russia? Surely China is worse than the US.
This is true, so the judgement on the US will be a warning to the rest of the world. Judgement begins in the house of God. If this is what happens to the US what will happen to you?
