The sabbath year

There is an important concept that others have shared but I just want to reiterate. The rapture is a "reaping". According to the law there is no reaping to be done on the seventh year. The land is to have a "Sabbath rest" for one year. As a result the feeling is that the rapture cannot take place on the seventh year. Now no one knows with 100% certainty when the seventh year is, or when the jubilee year is. So that is not the point. On the contrary the point is that this may explain where the Lord tells the foolish virgins to go buy oil from those that sell and then when they come back the door is closed. In other words the Lord returns for the Bride prior to the start of this seventh year and when they return it is now the seventh year. This would indicate that the rapture takes place at the end of the sixth year before the seventh year starts. That would give you a clear idea of when the rapture would take place during the year, but not necessarily which year or even which day. Now either Nisan 1 is the first day of the year or Tishrei 1 is. There is also one last wrench that can be thrown into this. The full moon in Nisan is Passover. Most subscribe to the New Moon being the first day of the new month, but there is one brother who claims it is the full moon, not the new moon that marks the first day of the month. Personally I believe the new moon is the start of the new month and I believe this is confirmed because the 15th of Av is the full moon. Also, Tishrei 1, the Feast of Trumpets, is the new moon. Moses told the Israelites that Nisan would be the beginning of the year for them after the plague of Darkness. But that was two weeks before Passover. To be fair it took a full week to prepare for Passover, so there is that. Logically it makes sense that Jesus is sown into the ground as the grain of wheat at Passover, that is the start of the church age, and the church age ends "12 months" later at the rapture which is the reaping of what was sown.

This is why this is now a "high watch time". Because Nisan 1 is March 18th, and if the three days of darkness takes place before Nisan 1 the 15-18th could be a possible time frame. I have already pointed out that the only feast that is a complete picture of the rapture is Purim. That is one of "our feasts" whereas the seven feasts of Leviticus are "Feasts of the Lord".

Also we are told that the moon will be turned to blood and the sun to sackcloth prior to the Day of the Lord. This moon turned to blood and two weeks earlier the sun was turned to sackcloth with the two eclipses. After the new moon it will be a "different" moon. So even if it were turned to blood in some way other than an eclipse it technically would not be the same moon. This is a relatively minor detail because smoke can turn the moon to blood and the sun to sackcloth. It doesn't have to be from an eclipse. It could be from an event like a Supervolcano like Krakatoa or from a meteor strike.

Anyway I did share about Purim so I thought everyone should be aware that Purim being a shadow of the rapture could refer to the two weeks from the full moon to the new moon.
 
My Salvation Testimony -- The answer to a 12 year olds' prayer

I have to start more than a year before I got saved. I was on a PeeWee football team and we were undefeated, won our championship game, flew to Florida and won our bowl game. That spring Mohammed Ali was fighting Joe Frazier at Madison Square Garden. I lived in the suburbs of NYC and this was a very big event. I was in sixth grade in elementary school and decided to organize our own boxing match. We made a ring in my friends backyard. We put up ropes and mattresses. Three kids from school were judges, one kid was the timer, another was the referee and we had three fights. The final fight was between Mike Irwin and myself. We fought 12 rounds, 3 minutes each. We were not wearing protection. By the third round my nose was bleeding and I knew I was losing. Each round I would go out and was getting beat and all I could think was "I need someone to tell me what to do". I was desperate for some coaching, but my friends who were in my corner didn't know any more about boxing than I did. If you have never fought in a 12 round boxing match it is the most exhausting thing I have ever done in my life. Add to that you are getting punched and for nine of those rounds my nose is bleeding and that was the closest I have come to death in my life. I did narrowly miss getting killed in a car accident, but as far as wanting to go check into a hospital after the fight, this was definitely the worst I had ever felt. That was when I was humbled. I realized the reason we had been victorious as a team in football had nothing to do with me and everything to do with our coach. This was reenforced the second season as we went undefeated again, we were much more dominant than we were in the first year and obliterated the other team in the Championship game. The first string offense and defense came out of that game after the first quarter because we were already leading 21-0. During that entire year our first string never got to play in the second half because the games were all over by then. We flew to Texas, won our bowl game and then that was it. I was too old play for that coach after that and all the older teams were average at best.

I was twelve years old and this is when I began seeking the Lord. I decided after that team I wanted to give myself to something and be a champion again. I realized I needed a great coach. So I began thinking about a worthy goal to give my life to. Nothing seemed to be good enough. Then it hit me, the key point is whether or not God is real. If God is real then you have to be concerned about standing before God on judgment day, if He isn't real then you don't need to worry about laws and all that. As soon as I thought about it I immediately realized God was real, the question was "which God?" I thought about it for awhile and decided the God of the Old Testament was clearly and undeniably real. Bringing slaves out of Egypt, turning them into an army and taking over land from existing kingdoms, no one does that without help and the only help they had was from God. However, I was raised as a Christian, we went to church every week, but I thought "some guy 2,000 years ago walking around Israel in sandals with dusty feet, could that guy really be God of the entire universe?" That seemed way too far fetched. So I began going to the synagogue with my best friend and decided that there must be some errors in the New Testament, all I had to do was study it real hard, find the errors and then that would prove Jesus was not God.

So I was still thinking about what I wanted to give my life to, and everything seemed to be not good enough. Then we were at church one Sunday and they read this verse about Jesus coming down in the clouds with great glory and I immediately thought: That's it! I want to be there when Jesus comes down in those clouds. As soon as I thought that I heard a voice inside "pray about it"! I knew the verse that ask and you shall receive, and so I replied inside "I will!" The voice then responded "This time, do it!" (I had said I would study the New Testament but had failed to follow through on that). So as soon as I got home I went up to my room, got down on my knees and prayed "Lord, I want to see you when you come down in those clouds". The Lord responded "You will, and furthermore I say unto you that you are a son of God".

I shared all this because what was implied in my prayer was that I wanted to be on the Lord's team when He led them in victory and triumph. I realized the Lord returning with an army was just like that team I had been on. Since then I had been looking for another team and realized this was the team I wanted to give myself for.

Football is rough, you could even say it is violent. I saw kids get hurt, one kid broke his leg, another tore up his knee. Every season my shins would get beat up bad and I would always sprain one of my thumbs. I played offensive line and on defense I was middle linebacker. So I was in the center of the battle. But the game is also fun. It is a battle and the most fun game I ever played was the bowl game in Dallas. They were the best team we played in two years and when it was over we won 12-0. That is a very close score. The first string played the entire game, and since I was on both offense and defense I played every minute of that game. The better the competition the more fun the game is. This is why I am enjoying and savoring every minute of what is going on. Yes, I am looking forward to being raptured, but I also know we only get to be in this battle once. When it is over, it is over. I don't want any regrets. Take a look, I have posted every single day from the start, I don't want to miss out on a single day.

Let me give you an example. In our championship game the second year the team we were playing had this one play which was their key play, they scored a lot of touchdowns on this play. It was an end around to a back who lined up in the slot. My job was to read the formation and when they went to this formation call out "end around" to the rest of the defense and then blitz and try and cut it off in the backfield. We got the ball first, drove down and scored a touchdown. Then we kicked to them. The first two downs we shut them down for 0 yards. It is now 3rd and 10 and they go to this formation. So I call out "End around". The quarterback doesn't know what to do, he looks to his sidelines, but continues "Down", I call it out again, louder. He says "set" and I call it out again even louder. The play was on the third hut. By that time I was screaming so loud you could hear it in all the seats in the stadium. I tackled the kid in the backfield for a loss of five yards, and that was when they knew they were beat. I feel like that is what I am doing in this blog. I am screaming "end around". I don't know if the ball will be snapped on what call, but I know that this formation means it is an end around. The red heifer has been killed and its ashes gathered, the tabernacle of David has been raised in Shiloh, all the enemies around Israel have tried to wipe them out and they lost, the bow of Elam is broken, we have seen the revelation 12 sign, we have seen the writing on the wall sign, and everything is ready to go with the mark of the beast. The coach on that football team scouted the teams we played and so we were prepared each week for what we were going to see. Jesus is the greatest coach, He has scouted out Satan and we know what we are going to see. I am not looking at what is going on as some terrifying event with an imminent nuclear war. I am looking at this as the greatest fun, an answer to the prayer of a 12 year old, and the best time to be alive. Amen.

War is Just a Prelude 2-14-20@6:13 AM Journal Entry With Confirmation

for the glory of Father God & Jesus Christ!


3-3-26

“What or whom do We need to speak about Jesus, for I am ready to hear all that You have and need to say?” “Child, you, the civilians, the regular people, those not in your military are not yet truly aware of all the conflicts and the high alert that your country stands at for tensions are high between your country and that of others. As this declaration of war draws closer they shall become more aggressive for as I have foretold, a series of strikes between your country, the eagle and that of Persia being Iran and as I have foretold, there shall be what you call summits which will span a few days in hopes of stopping these acts of aggression toward each other’s country but it shall fail. Your president will walk in with no intentions of negotiating as well as Iran for they have already decided this day of Purim, of March for the official declaration of war. Putin has secretly behind closed doors promised his support and aid to the country of Iran should they so choose to proceed into war and they shall Child, and Putin with his charismatic personality shall sway many to follow but will influence others through force and threats to join him as well in his alliance with Iran against your nation. But as I have said Child, there will be those who shall rise up as and align themselves with that of the eagle for the UK shall align herself with that of the eagle and she with her vast number of countries under her rule shall continue to be a powerful ally.”




“Jesus, forgive me for asking but how is all this to happen so quickly?” “Child, when man gets the taste, the thirst for war in their minds and body, it becomes like a drug to them consuming their thoughts and actions totally allowing very little time or room for anything else. Take this ruler Kim Jong Un whose thirst has become his all consuming drive to possess the power of the nuclei contained within his weapons, making his people work non stop day and night to fulfill his desire and he shall Child. He shall within a short time possess this power within his hand which will make him feel like a ‘god’ among men! Will he use his new powerful weapons of the nuclei upon your nation? Absolutely, but only after Putin’s strike with both missiles….weapons of the nuclei and some without, for some areas store the power of the nuclei and do not require the additional power of the nuclei itself. The other missile strikes shall cause the damage, have the same effect by causing these stored units to ignite and having the same effect of that of the nuclei, for although these said areas are heavily protected, many shall still, I say, cause to become ignited… even through their barriers, their man made walls of construction which shall collapse and some shall become twisted upon impact.”



“Child, when the sin of hatred or even that of any sin becomes the controlling force behind a person or even a country’s whole people then they possess the capability to accomplish anything as long as it is lined up to be allowed for Father God’s divine will to be accomplished, for man needs must to endure this war of nations to weaken your many nations who become involved. because this war is a prelude to the time of judgment. It is the beginning of the beginning, of the end, for as mankind enters the period of the time of judgment, satan’s protege, this antichrist shall rise and assume full and total power of your world. He shall be the force behind your one world government and even your one world religion for if your countries are already in weakened states then they shall be more willing, more easily swayed to accept and elect antichrist as their Supreme Ruler.”



“It still seems like a short time for all these things to happen but truly Lord Jesus, I do not wish for any of these things to occur!” “I know this My Child, but they are necessary for man’s sins are many and My continual call for repentance has been ignored by most, preferring rather to delve deeper into their perverseness and evil ways. Judgement has been passed and this sentence shall all the world be made to endure and this shall only be the beginning. The period designated to start the beginning of the full punishment for their sins which shall be the period of the time of judgment in which mankind, besides enduring the horrors of life under the rule, the control of antichrist, they shall also endure the wrath of Father God and Myself for I am Jesus, the Lamb of God. When Father God steps off His Throne of Mercy, of Grace and sits upon the seat of Judgment then He shall withdraw His mercy and grace to all but those of His remnant. The few innocents that shall be born, and the few who shall accept My precious gift of Salvation for My gospel shall forever go forth until the ending of time. No matter how much or how many times the enemy shall try to stop it, it shall go forth for MY WORD SHALL GO FORTH. It shall accomplish all that I have ordained it to and it shall not return unto Me void for that is not even a possibility! So I tell you, Child, that no matter what each must endure during their allotted time upon this earth, nothing shall ever be allowed to take place without My prior knowledge and I shall cause good to come out of the bad for all those who love and serve Me. Even at times those who don’t, for in doing so, some shall come to the saving knowledge of Me.”

Nuclear War, Revival & Martial Law 2-17-20@4:25 AM Journal Entry



…”Your president sits in his oval office contemplating this war of nations for the taste of war is now in his blood and that of the other leaders that shall become predominant during this war. Even now Putin has been discussing secretly with Persia, with Iran the very locations that I have warned you they would strike for each missile’s strike is strategic for the crippling of your nation. But again I say not everyone of their missiles shall strike true but those of the eagle, their aim shall be true to their mark striking most accurately the area that they will target for they will strike the Kremlin. But Putin, he being the sly fellow that he is, will be nowhere near this location choosing rather one of the locations of his unknown hidden bases to order his strikes from. Your president as well has been determining which locations to strike within Persia, in Iran but after the declaration of war made in March on Purim as I have foretold and which you have revealed on My website that you have created for Me, he shall cast his eyes on the bear more fully. Although each country already has their many strategic targets laid out before them for each possible strike in advance, your president will begin to realize that somehow you have prior knowledge of things to come but he will reject the knowledge that it comes through Me, Jesus Christ.
 


Putin's Gift for Iran & Surprise for Israel 3-8-26@8:40 PM 3-9-26
 
Without love this tool would take you straight to hell.

1 Corinthians 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.


This is what AI is. It can speak all languages, but it does not have love. They use AI to run prediction models, to figure out the most difficult puzzles and mysteries, and to access all knowledge. They use AI to make deep fakes. For example, you can have AI make a movie. It can write the story, and create the entire movie. It can be realistic or written as a cartoon or anime. What would have taken Hollywood a year, it can do in a day or two. The problem is they are "hollow". They can have the big brass band and be very loud, and dramatic. But it is empty.

What it is missing is love. Now you can argue that you use this to build up your faith, meaning you can be fully convinced with the conviction of the truth. Right now there is a race on to achieve "AI supremacy" because they feel with that you can remove all mountains. So if you use AI as an assistant, to help you do the research, and help you edit the writing and do everything to assist you so that you can remove a mountain. Perhaps your goal is to cure cancer, that sounds great. But if you don't have love, it is nothing. Some people are motivated by love to cure cancer while others are motivated by greed. They simply want to find a cure that will make them rich.

3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

OK, but then you have these companies whose goal is to find this cure and to make a lot of money, but then they give money to charity for PR. They are helping the environment, or donating to schools, or some other worthy cause. But everything they are doing is simply building up the kingdom of this world and will not profit them anything when they have to appear before the Great White Throne. It is amazing how much evil in this world has been justified by people "claiming to have a good heart". The people who made the atomic bomb did it to defeat Hitler and "evil". But once they had made it they realized they had given a horrible weapon into the hands of the prince of darkness.

Consider Elon Musk, he is very charitable and if I understand correctly he lives very frugally. But, everything he has done is to create the infrastructure for the mark of the beast. You can argue that a digital currency that controls every person on earth whether they can buy or sell is a very positive development. We can eliminate crime. What is the motivation for crime? Isn't it to make money? If I can completely cut off that ability what would be the reason for criminals to be committing crimes if they can't make money? We can also eliminate prison. Instead of society paying to house prisoners we simply lock them out of society so that they can't buy or sell. That is a very huge penalty. Such a tool would be incredibly powerful, the problem is who are you giving this powerful tool to? In the hands of an evil dictator this would be a horrific tool. Without love this tool would take you straight to hell.
 

Judges Chapter 17 Explained (Micah's Story of Theft and Idolatry)​


Here is a story of what happens when you decide to worship God according to your own opinion and not according to the word of God. We see stealing, idolatry, and confusion.

In the end everything he worshipped is "stolen". His treasure was not in heaven but here on earth. The story begins with him stealing silver from his mother and ends with the tribe of Dan stealing stuff from Micah.

I include this here because a number of the people building AI have made it clear they see themselves as building "a god". AI is an idol to many. The people who run it are the "priests". It is taking a big chunk of silver to build. And we will see the same ending where one person builds it only to have those who are bigger and stronger steal it.
 
Judges 19 describes a man who is the "lord" and his concubine. When we read this story it is quite horrifying. But the reality is that is what we are seeing today in Iran. This is how the IRGC treats the Iranians. The leaders see them as "their concubine" and the truth is that the people have played the "whore" breaking covenant with God. The world will go after the Antichrist, leaving Jesus Christ, the true king. That is to break covenant, that is to play the whore. However, Antichrist will treat the people who are his "subjects" the same way this man treats this concubine. He essentially throws her to the dogs. The torture she endures all night is a shadow of the tribulation which will be greater than any previous time in human history.

The story depicts how far mankind has to fall before they wake up and repent of their sins.
 

When the Gate Closes: What the Bible Reveals About Today’s Crisis​

 
In judgment remember mercy. Lord we love You, not because of Your power in executing judgment but because of Your mercy shown to us. Amen.
 
1 Corinthians 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.

What does this mean? Some understand "prophesy" as "predicting the future". But if that is the case then all of Christianity is wrong because very few are following after a desire to predict the future. Also, no verse is of its own interpretation. Jesus has commissioned all believers to be "His witnesses". A witness is not "predicting the future", they are testifying to what they have seen and heard. According to Vine's expository dictionary the primary definition of this Greek word translated "prophesy" means "telling forth the divine counsels". I liken this to the President's press secretary. This person speaks on behalf of the president. At times the Press Secretary might "predict the future", often in a "if they do this, then..." Which could be more of a warning than a prediction. So this advice is quite specific and clear. We should pursue charity, helping widows and orphans as James says. We should desire spiritual gifts, healing, miracles, etc. But all of this should fall under the umbrella of the ultimate goal, to speak the divine counsels. For example, there is a food give away in our city that two thousand people will go to each week to pick up a box of food for the week. They line up and wait for as much as two hours to get this food. That is an example of "charity". But it provides the perfect opportunity to share the divine counsels with the people in the line. The Gideon's go once a month and talk to people and on average hand out 500 New Testaments each time. This event is run by a church, so they are following after charity and that charity is an opportunity to speak the word of God to the people. In the same way, when you pray for someone look at the Lord answering that prayer as an opportunity for you to speak God's word.

2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.


This makes it even clearer. Prophesy is "speaking unto men edification, and exhortation, and comfort". The divine counsels of God build you up, they guide. you in life, they lead you out of a cursed place and into a blessed standing. They exhort you to leave your old life of sin and to be sanctified in Jesus Christ. They comfort you that the Lord loves you, He gave His life to save you, so there is an assurance there of His heart. Even if we are speaking the fulfillment of prophesies it is a comfort that the Lord told you this thousands of years ago. Everyone else on this planet is confused and did not see what was coming until it was here. They mocked, they thought it was a fairy tale, and now that it is here they are in a panic. I would much rather follow a leader who saw exactly what was coming and gave us a path to salvation, than those who didn't and haven't.
 
What does God say?

1 Corinthians 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. 5 I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.


This gives us even more of a definition of what prophesying is, it builds up the church.

6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?

Paul breaks down speaking in the church into four categories: revelation, knowledge, prophesying or doctrine. If I am teaching doctrine that is of course "knowledge" but it is more specific. The church is not limited to only speaking about doctrine. For example, the pastor might want to speak about how to be healthy physically. That is knowledge too that will benefit or profit the church. I would say that revelation can also be more widespread than just about Biblical doctrine. Recently $19 billion in fraud was revealed in Minnesota. That is a "revelation", an unveiling of something that was hidden. Suppose Satan has secretly crept into the church as Paul described in Galatians. Unveiling him and his clandestine activity in the church would be a profit to the saints. Many Christians aspire to a word of revelation, or a word of knowledge. But that is still not prophesy. Paul did not say we, as the church gathering, should aspire to a word of revelation or a word of knowledge. A newspaper aspires to a word of revelation, especially of fraud or some crime. A college professor aspires to a word of knowledge. When people come to church they want to know "what does God say". That is what prophesy is.

7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? 8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?

When God speaks it prompts us to action. A word of exhortation is prompting you to action. A word of comfort is prompting you to be at peace. A word of edification is prompting you to build yourself up in the faith. A few years ago Dana Coverstone had many dreams in which they concluded with the expression "brace yourself". The Lord was telling us to "prepare ourselves for the battle".

9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.

One reason I enjoy Youtube is that three, four, five, six years later you can pull up what people said and hear it again. Often when these politicians speak you hear them say something and then when you listen five years later you realize it could be interpreted many different ways. For example many remember Trump saying that he would end the war in Ukraine on his first day in office. But when you listen again he said "he would end the war in one day". All wars for all of human history have been ended in one day and so it was a meaningless promise. Truman famously asked for an economist with one arm because they always were saying "on one hand this, but on the other hand that". When God speaks it is easy to understand -- "Brace yourself" is easy to understand.

Notice how Paul distinguishes between words of doctrine and prophesy. There are many doctrinal debates that are not God speaking.
 
1 Corinthians 14:10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. 11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. 12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.

According to Jewish tradition, in the book of Esther Mordecai heard two soldiers plotting to overthrow the government and reported it to the authorities. The tradition says that these soldiers were speaking in a language unknown by most in that city but that Mordecai knew. Every single voice, every single tongue has its own significance. I was a stock broker and learned how to read the graphs. We have a saying "people lie, money doesn't lie". The point is people can give a hundred different reasons why a stock is going up or down in price. Based on one guy it means you should but, based on another it means you should sell. However, suppose I want to buy, then I would encourage you to sell now. If I want to sell I would encourage you to buy. But if you learn how to discern the graph it is like learning to understand what the money is saying. There is another verse which says "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks". So when you listen to people speaking it is a window into their heart. God is a discerner of the hearts, if you are prophesying then those words of God will be based on a discernment of the hearts and will help others to discern the hearts. During the pandemic Fauci said that even if you have recovered from Covid19 you need to take the vaccine. A few years earlier Fauci said that recovering from a virus is the best vaccination and so you didn't need the vaccine. So then, why the change, what is different? This is where we don't need a talking head in a lab coat, or a government official telling us to "trust the science". What we need at this point is the word of God to shine a light and lead us in the path we should go.
 
Discerning the truth from the lies

13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. 14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.


Think about it, some heard Fauci and so were out there urging people to get the vaccine because Fauci said so. But actually, Fauci was speaking in an unknown tongue. When someone speaks two diametrically opposite things, then it is an unknown tongue. You can't simply interpret it based on "english". You need to discern the heart. Maybe something has changed? Maybe we have new information? Fauci talked about "shedding", perhaps that was the missing factor. So I listened carefully to what he said, focusing especially on him providing the evidence for claims that he was making. He made claims but did not provide the evidence for those claims. He was careful, so I looked not just at what he said but also at what he didn't say. Others were mocking two established treatments of viral infections: HCQ and Ivermectin. These had been proven to be both safe and effective for all viral infections. Others were mocking them as though you were injecting yourself with bleach or horse dewormer. Fauci should have stepped in, cleared up the confusion, and made it clear these were both proven to be safe and effective treatments. He was silent. That alarmed me. He was making claims contradicting previous understanding and not backing them, and when others were causing confusion that would be harmful he was not debunking their claims.

This is why the whole world went crazy with people not trusting one another and making contradictory claims and refusing to listen to one another. You could research HCQ or you could simply take what Fauci said at face value. The people you were supposed to trust were lying to you and the people who the world was labeling as tin foil nut jobs were telling you the truth.

But what was the point, what was God saying? After all, why would God allow this?

In the Old Testament there is a story about the children of Israel wandering in the wilderness. They complained about the manna. The manna is a type of the word of God that each believer is required to gather each morning. You should start the day in the word of God. Even if you just have five minutes. But these people were complaining about that. Instead of reading the word each day and being reconstituted with faith in God, they were watching movies like Contagion and becoming panicked by the idea of a global contagion. In the story in the Bible God sends serpents to bite them, this was a direct punishment for murmuring about the manna (word of God). What the pandemic revealed was what was in each person's heart. You saw some who were terrified of the pandemic, they had consumed all the fear porn that the world could produce. A few were not, they were the ones who were reading the word of God. The word of God is the word of truth. If you consume the truth each day you will become attuned to discerning the truth from the lies.
 
1 Corinthians 14:15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

Things happen, the pandemic was something that happened, we need understanding so that we can pray. I sought this understanding and saw that what was happening was what Joel prophesied would happen. Joel tells us how to pray. God says He is declaring a sabbath rest (the global shutdown) so that we could fast and pray because the day of the Lord is at hand (meaning right next door). It was a very clear word to prepare for battle. Because of that I started this blog in 2020, in April. However, the first site that I started it on suspended me and so I left that site and moved to this site. By the time I came here I had been suspended and left three previous sites: Facebook and two "christian" forums. But because of that I learned to make pdfs of everything I posted. Anyone can download them for free. I will share them in the next post. You can put all of them on a single flash drive and I recommend this because what happened to me will happen to everyone that is left behind after the rapture. The internet will be completely controlled so that you will not be able to get this fellowship or many of the other saints that I have linked on this blog. Youtube channels will be deep faked. If you think things were confusing during Covid it is about to get 10x worse. They will change the Bible. Anything digital on the internet can be changed and will be.

I would have done this for all of them but ran out of time. However, it does help those who are interested in a particular verse to find the verse and what is said about it. One reason I did this was so I could look for verses that had not been referenced.

Who is the Great Babylon

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yQatkwB8A2Xi6og2WRxNvfw3CEV0n2_n/view?usp=sharing

This Pdf goes through every verse in the New Testament and many in the Old referring to Babylon. I see which of the various interpretations fit. The main three are: Israel, Vatican and the US, though I also see if England fits any. I used to subscribe to the teaching of Darby and Watchman Nee on this, however, everyone should know that when they taught the US was not a superpower, Hollywood and Multinational corporations did not exist (true for Darby, Watchman Nee was around at the time of silent movies). The pandemic had not taken place and the apostasy in the US had not taken place. You could not compare the US to Sodom and Gomorrah at the time of Darby or Watchman Nee.

Understanding coded language

1 Corinthians 14:16 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest? 17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.


The church needs to understand what is going on. If they don't understand it affects their prayers, their blessing and their giving of thanks. At a very basic level we have a covenant with God. If we keep our end of the bargain He keeps His which includes protecting us and our whole household. This means we remove all idols and cursed things from our house. For example, rock and roll albums and songs are "cursed" things because they perform occult rituals over them prior to shipping them out. Having one of them in your house opens the door for Satan and his demons to enter. However, that is a very simple level, you might want to know far deeper, studying Psalm 83, Jeremiah 49, Ezekiel 38 and Joel so you know how to pray and give thanks.

18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: 19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.


It is possible to speak in a known tongue and still be speaking in code. I believe that this is what is happening in the mainstream media and with political entities. They are given their "talking points". They don't even have to understand the significance of what they are saying. It might be a code word, doesn't matter, they simply parrot what they are told to say.

20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.

A big example of this is criminal organizations. The mafia will not say words that are crimes on the phone. They know the phones are tapped. So they have code words, they'll say things like "is that thing done". Meanwhile the Epstein files reveal a bunch of code words related to pizza that are used in pedophilia. Paul is telling you that we need to understand what is being done in secret and what is being said in secret. They will speak in code, and so we need understanding. We are not to be influenced by evil to do evil, but we are to be men when it comes to understanding.
 
"What he really meant"

1Corinthians 14:21 In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.


When I was in Taiwan learning Chinese wasn't simply about learning another language, it was about learning about a culture with all their different ways to do things and refer to them. It gives you a different perspective on life. I used the analogy that things in China were upside down from things in the US.

22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.

In the world of unbelievers everyone speaks in code. Dirty jokes are in code. They use those to make sure you are speaking the same language as them. FreeMasons with their hand signals are signaling to others that they are speaking in code. The prince of darkness does everything in the dark, secret, hidden, in the shadows. Prophesying is completely different, we do things in the light because it is not illegal. We are one with the king of kings. We are not hiding in the shadows. We are not plotting a coup like Haman in the book of Esther.

23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?

This is why the mega churches have closed down. They were pretending to preach the gospel while at the same time trying to speak in code to the FreeMasons and Satanists. It comes out as gobbledigook when examined under a spotlight. You see this all the time. Recently a leading senator talked about "blowing them to hell" in reference to people in Iran. Immediately some took offense and others became apologists trying to "translate what he really meant". When you find you have to "translate what someone really meant" know that they are speaking in tongues.

For example, in the NBA Championships one year Jordan hit 7 three point shots in a row and then shrugged. I just learned yesterday what that shrug really meant. He had told Magic Johnson the night before he was going to light up this team. He had turned to Magic after the 7th 3 point shot in a row dropped and then shrugged. He was telling Magic "I told you so".

Speaking in tongues?

1 Corinthians 14:24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all: 25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.

This is the point, every language is a code designed so that people can communicate while keeping what they are saying secret from those who don't speak that language. In the church we don't speak like that, we speak the truth that shines a light. If people come into a congregation where people are not hiding behind a mask, not speaking in code, but speaking the word of God in truth, the contrast with the kingdom of darkness will be powerful.

26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

Is this true in Christianity? If every member of the church was spending time every day in the word of God, in prayer, in study, then everyone would have something to share when they came together. I have only seen this practiced in one church and even there it is very challenging because the temptation at pretense and becoming political is always there.

27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.


The way I understand this is that there are several hundred languages on earth, if you come speaking one of them and want to speak in a meeting you need an interpreter. I have seen that frequently and I have also seen people "speaking in tongues" which they say is "a non human language". Then, every time I saw that they also would interpret. Which made no sense. If you can interpret why are you speaking in tongues, simply give us the word. I have thoughts about why this practice is in the church and those thoughts are mixed. I can see why the Lord would do this and I can also see the risks of this practice.

28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

But if you read this it seems crystal clear there is no reason to speak in tongues and then interpret it yourself. If you can do that then just give us the word in our language.
