1 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, These are two things, the Lord’s coming and our being gathered to Him, what we refer to as the rapture. It appears that the Lord comes secretly immediately before the rapture. we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. Everyone should be very clear that a rebellion occurs first and the man of lawlessness is revealed. There has been some wonderful exposition of Isaiah that the US is the transplanted vineyard of the Lord, the vineyard He surrounded with hedges to the East across the sea. Some have even overlaid the pattern of the temple and the items in the temple over the US and the pattern is quite fascinating. So let’s look a little closer at this, the antichrist who is to come, the “man of lawlessness” will be “impudent and brazen”. To a lesser degree we saw this with Hitler, but it will be on full display with the man of lawlessness. Second, he will be a master of intrigue. You would have to be to make a peace treaty between Israel and the Arab nations while also dealing with Iran, China, and Russia. But then Daniel says that he will destroy the mighty but not of his own power. The antichrist is used to destroy Jezebel. That is the rebellion that must take place first, it was Jezebel’s corruption that the Lord is going to judge. The antichrist destroys the mighty, destroys Jezebel and all of her confederates, but not of his own power. It will be the Lord Jesus with his saints as His army. They are the ones who are restraining the evil Jezebel. According to the type she hired 400 prophets of Baal, she controlled the media. Meanwhile a hundred prophets of the Lord were hidden in a cave. So it is the Lord that destroys Jezebel, but it is the antichrist who takes credit for it and as this unfolds he is revealed.

Proving voter fraud is quite simple based on the allegations made so far.

1. We can see if dead people voted, find out who they voted for and remove those ballots.
2. We can check the software to see if there is something written into the code to switch votes from Trump to Biden.
3. We can check the mail in votes to see if the person who is said to have voted actually did mail in that ballot.

So even if the Court doesn't want to disallow the 600,000 votes that were tabulated without allowing Republican observers it can still checked for fraud.

Statistical analysis used by forensic accountants can easily identify the counties where the fraud took place and therefore the best place to look for fraud. I would suspect that the the judge will put in a test, say choose 1,000 ballots at random from the 600,000 and determine how many are fraudulent. If none are then sorry, what they did was bad in not allowing you to observe but to disallow these votes would be a greater harm. On the other hand if 10 votes are fraudulent you could decide to take away 1% of those 600,000. If 500 votes are fraudulent then I don't see how you could count any of them. You have massive fraud estimated at 300,000 or more while they were disobeying the law and a court order to allow those observers in.

Suppose we don't know who the "dead people voted for". No problem, we know they must have "mailed in their ballots" as we can assume poll workers would have recognized a dead person at the poll. If the mail in ballots are split 80/20 then you remove that number of votes 80/20. That may seem unfair to Trump but it is still 80% of the problem and if you can get witnesses and people to confess it may be the best you can do.

If you find widespread voter fraud in the software, in dead people voting, in statistical analysis based on Bedford's law, and based on people who say they didn't vote by mail even though we have them voting by mail, then in that situation you can look very closely at other anomalies. 95% of Philadelphia voted when the national average is 67%, that demands a closer look if we have reason to believe there was fraud. Also there were a huge percentage of ballots mailed in that only voted for president and didn't vote for anyone else. Those ballots also need to be scrutinized.

Although it sounds like a very big job if you have thousands of people doing it then it can go relatively quickly. Also, you don't need to find every single instance of fraud prior to Dec 14th, if you find enough to change the outcome of the election you can rule on the election prior to the electoral college voting. Granted, the Democrats also have the right to file lawsuits, but if you know those lawsuits will only send more of you to jail I doubt they will be storming the gates to do that.

This doesn't mean that you shouldn't continue to investigate for every single instance of fraud and prosecute, it just means there doesn't need to be any delay in the election of President.
 
If there is no electoral vote by the time Trump's term ends........and the VP's too.......then the speaker of the house will take control.
Let us pray that Nancy Pelosi is NOT still the speaker if or when that happens. :eek::eek::eek:
 
"The Master of Intrigue" (Daniel 11:21)

Executive order September 12, 2018 —To prevent foreign powers from interfering in the election.

1. Focused on people in whole or substantial part located outside the US trying to interfere in US elections or undermine confidence in the US elections

Includes:

Unauthorized access of campaign infrastructure

Covert distribution of propaganda

proliferation of digital devices and internet communications

They can target foreign companies and related individuals suspected of interfering in US elections by conducting asset seizures. Freezing their assets and prohibiting transfers.

To have directly or indirectly engaged in, sponsored or otherwise been complicit in foreign interference in a United States election. It applies to both US and foreign citizens, entities, corporations,

This law was put in place back in 2018 to deal with exactly what we are seeing alleged right now.

What actions count as foreign interference:

Any covert, fraudulent, deceptive or unlawful act or attempted action of a foreign government or any person acting as an agent or on behalf of a foreign government undertaken with the purpose or effect of influencing or undermining confidence in or altering the results or reported results of the election.

What have we seen that might fall under the jurisdiction of this law.

1. Dominion (Canadian company) and Smartmatic (British company) and Skytel (Spanish company)

these are foreign companies accused of election fraud. Therefore the US could freeze their assets as well as anyone that worked for them. Even if you are accused of running ballots through multiple times. So this law could even be used to put pressure on poll workers by freezing their assets.

Likewise there are allegations of the Post office dumping ballots, not delivering mail for Trump, or favoring Biden ballots. That would allow them to freeze the assets of Postal workers accused of this.

There are allegations of ballot harvesting in states where that was illegal, those people could have their assets frozen.

But it is worse. Diane Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton are investors in these companies. They would therefore be caught with the net of this law allowing discovery of all their emails and communications.

2. Media outlets who released bias polls with the purpose of influencing the election could also have their assets frozen: NY Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS and NPR. I suspect in some cases this law would be used to gain leverage and testimony of collusion. The media rushed to declare Biden the winner.

3. Facebook, Twitter and Google could also be caught up in this net. If it is shown that their algorithms were specifically designed to influence the election, alter the result of the election or even alter the reported results.
 
4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.

We just shifted from past tense to future tense. Before the day comes the rebellion takes place and the man of lawlessness is revealed. That takes place before we are gathered to the Lord, i.e. raptured. But in the future, after the rapture, He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshipped. It does not say that he does this prior to the rapture. That is not how he is revealed. He is revealed because he is uniquely impudent and brazen, because he is a master of intrigue, because he destroys the mighty, and finally, because he receives a head wound and is resuscitated, allowing an evil spirit to enter into him. However, after he is inhabited by that evil spirit he will oppose God, even setting himself up in the temple and proclaiming himself to be God. He doesn’t destroy the mighty with his own power, but he does take full credit for it.

5 Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? 6 And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. We know what is holding him back.

We may not be “master’s of intrigue”, we may not know the deep things of Satan, but all Christians know Jesus Christ and the Spirit of God. This is what is holding him back.

7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.

We are the salt and the light. When we speak the word of God it restrains evil and holds it back.
We must continue to do so right up until we are taken out of the way during the rapture.

8 And then the lawless one will be revealed,whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.

So if we are paying attention to current events what we are seeing is a rebellion. The allegations of voter fraud is based on a software company that is owned and operated by Diane Feinstein’s husband, and by Nancy Pelosi’s aid, and by Hillary Clinton’s foundation. But it must be much more widespread than that. Many Governors, mayors, and the Democratic party must be involved. The scale and scope of this is truly amazing. Laws were passed all over the country, often while the election was taking place. Judges were used to institute these changes. Polls were used to manipulate the impression of the election while the mainstream media has done everything in their power to create a narrative of fate accomplished. Tech giants have censored all stories that might be contrary to their narrative. Google, Facebook and Twitter are clearly pushing this agenda. What we are witnessing is a rebellion with Hillary Clinton at the epicenter. If Trump can win this election the world will truly marvel and concede he is a master of intrigue. However, those who are fighting this battle are Christians. You can see them in prayer for the country. They aren’t fighting for Trump or Biden to win, but rather that the election be legitimate and not stolen. They are standing for the constitution to be upheld and honored. I suspect that had RBG not died they might have gotten away with this crime, but her death was one thing they had not anticipated. You can be sure the ugly way they treated Kavanaugh will come back to haunt them when these lawsuits arrive at the Supreme court. There are also hundreds of people making signed affidavits. Again, they may not be a supporter of one candidate of the other, rather they are offended at the crime of stealing this election. It is interesting that thousands of dead people have voted. It is the Satanic version of the dead being raised to help support Jezebel and now these same dead that voted for her will also escort her back to hell with them. God is omnipotent, that means He can use anyone to accomplish His will. We will see the mighty hand of God as He executes judgement on Jezebel. However, it will be Trump who will take credit for it and that in turn will set the stage for further judgments on those who would not receive Jesus.
