The Fellowship of the Apostles: Adjusting our thinking for the age of grace

Romans 2:3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

This is a key thought, that we are all sinners, we are all saved by grace, but not to sin again, but to be delivered from sin. In the apostate church they are very strong to condemn anyone that judgest them that commit sins and yet they have the whole verse backwards. They think that since you should not judge others that we are now free to sin without being judged. That is not what they said. If judging others for sins is a sin, then condemning anyone who judges others for sins is hypocrisy. They claim to be inclusive but they exclude the apostles and the word of God. What Paul is saying here is much closer to "be strict with yourself and general with others". Paul is not saying that condemning sin is a sin, that would be absurd, Paul condemns sin. No, he is saying being a hypocrite where you publicly pretend to be a Christian while secretly living in sin, that will bring the judgment of God down on your head.

Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

This is also quite interesting. Many think that you judge yourself based on the gifts given to you. But Paul didn't say that. The issue is not that this brother has a great gift and that brother doesn't. It is about faith, not gifts. Do you have the faith to take up the cross of Christ and follow Him even though it means death to your self and your flesh?

1 Corinthians 4:6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

This verse is mind blowing. On the surface Paul is simply comparing himself to another minister of Jesus Christ. No big deal really. However, Apollos is also the name of a Greek God which is a shadow of the AntiChrist. So on another level Paul is comparing himself to the Antichrist. What is the difference between a genuine Christian and the Antichrist? Pride. People will follow the antichrist because they "think of men above that which is written". Think about Hitler and the Nazi's, they were puffed up for one against another. That is why they killed Jews, Gypsies, Christians and the mentally ill in the Holocaust.

1 Corinthians 4:9 For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.

Can you imagine some brother telling you this? You would think he needs to go to God and get this straightened out. This is not Paul in a moment of weakness, this is the word of God. So flip this around, God is a master warrior, He did set forth the apostles last, they were appointed to death, they were made a spectacle to angels and to men. Why did He do that? Because there can be no doubt that what they were sharing was not for personal gain, or covetousness. Their testimony cost them something. In a world full of deceit it was important that this be the case.

1 Corinthians 7:36 But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.

What a contrast to this sinful, adulterous age. How many men get divorced or get a mistress because they think their wife "has passed the flower of her age"?

1 Corinthians 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

Paul is going through all the examples in the Old Testament of the Israelites sinning and being judged by God, being strewn about the wilderness. The Bible will adjust your thinking so that you are not proud, thinking you can stand on your own. It is by grace we stand, not of ourselves, not of our own strength, but of God and of the Holy Spirit within us.

2 Corinthians 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;

This isn't simply about sins, it is about everything. Last night I asked the Lord for direction in this ministry and I was given the verse "unto Him that is able to do abundantly above all that we ask or think" and that word "think" stuck out like a neon light. Hence, that is my focus this morning.

Galatians 6:3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

That is the point of many of these verses.

Apophis and the Great Tribulation

If apophis does hit the earth in 2029 that would have to be during the Great Tribulation. One can see how a catastrophe of that magnitude could lead to Armageddon.

 

[ZNP]

Ten prerequisites for the seven year tribulation

1. We need the Jews in Israel and controlling Jerusalem. Too many prophecies require the Jews to return to the land.

2. We need the Red heifers. There are many prophecies that say the sacrifices and oblations start up again and for that to happen the instruments must be cleansed and sanctified with the ashes from a red heifer.

3. We need the UN. It is very clear that the end of the age is the fulness of the nations and in a couple of instances, most notably one world government of Antichrist and all the nations being assembled for Armageddon, they need to be united.

4. We need a Holy of Holies. Many translations translate this as "temple" but it is actually a reference to the Holy place. That could also be the tabernacle of David. We have evidence that they have found all the objects in the Holy place and they have the Tabernacle of David. It is unlikely they could rebuild a temple in the time they have left, but to raise the Tabernacle of David, that would be relatively quick, maybe a weekend.

5. We need AI. The beast system and the image of the beast requires AI. It is necessary to make the Beast appear to be an invincible army. Many describe AI as a bigger threat than nuclear weapons.

6. We need Quantum computers and Starlink. To have the mark of the beast controlling what everyone on earth buys and sells you would have to have starlink and Quantum computers. You need the ability to monitor billions of transactions worldwide.

7. You need BRICS. This is a tricky transition. You have to collapse the US dollar to force people to make the change, but you have to have another currency already set up for this transition.

8. You need to be able to sell your UFO abduction story. If you don't have a great deception ready to go then the whole world will be converted to the Lord. You have to lay the groundwork for people to actually buy into the great deception.

9. You need weapons of mass destruction. The prophecies of a third of people dying would have been completely impossible prior to nuclear weapons and Intercontinental missiles.

10. You need an apostasy. The Bible says a departure from the faith comes first. We see this in the Old Testament when Moses comes down from the mountain to see many Israelites have departed from the faith.

2024 is the first year in human history that we have had all ten of these. Also there is an expiration date on these. The Jews could sacrifice the red heifers now, but in about two or three years it would likely be too late. Likewise with the Beast system. Revelation describes it rising out of the sea. In a few years it will already be fully risen. The same thing with collapsing the US dollar. It is possible that Trump could turn things around in four years so that the dollar is no longer teetering on the precipice. Generally I would not believe a politicians could do that, but with Elon Musk on the team, and with AI and robots in their toolkit, I would argue that it is very possible.

Red Lines leading to the destruction of the Great Babylon

In September of 2021 Putin said deploying Nato weapons and infrastructure in Ukraine was a red line. Many are arguing that this line has been crossed by Ukraine using American satellites.

He also said deployment of soldiers in Ukraine was a red line. That line was crossed in April of 2023.

In December of 2021 he said weapons to Ukraine was a red line. That line was crossed in February 2022.

In June of 2022 Putin said Long range missiles were a red line. This latest policy change by Biden crosses that line.

In December of 2023 Putin said that western made missiles fired into Russia was a red line. That line has also been crossed.

In September of 2023 Putin made it clear ATACMS for Ukraine was a red line.

In October of 2024 Putin said authorizing Ukraine to use long range missiles to strike deep within Russia was a red line.

If Russia were to attack the US with a surprise nuclear attack he would be justified. The US is clearly at war with Russia, and without a doubt the US is far superior to Russia militarily. They cannot win a war of attrition.

I Come In The Darkness Dream 11-13-24 & 11-18-24

 

[ZNP]

Here is what the Bible says concerning the Jews and the temple at the end of the age

1. Antichrist sets up a winged idol in the Holy Place, which in several places it translates as "Temple", but I would argue should be translated as sanctuary. This could be either in the Holy Place or the Holy of Holies.

2. The Jews begin to offer oblations and sacrifices which then cease when the idol is put in the sanctuary.

3. Amos prophesies that the Tabernacle of David will be raised again at the end of the age in what appears to be the 70th week of Daniel.

4. There is no prophecy anywhere in the Old or New Testament that says a Temple will be built.

5. Instead we are told that the outer court will be given to the nations to trample.

6. We are also told that these are perilous times. That is the context of the prophecy in Amos and also the context of the end of the age in the New Testament.

So how come the Christian theologians do not put this prophecy in Amos into their eschatology? You have to have the tabernacle of David being raised somewhere in your understanding and it is fully missing.

On the other hand we are told in the New Jerusalem there is no Temple. So what happened to it? Not only is there no prophecy that a third temple is built there also is no prophecy that a third temple is destroyed. Also, if you are in perilous times why are you building a temple? Also, why build a temple if from the get go you have to give away most of the property for it?

These are critical questions. But regardless of how you interpret the end times you must agree that Amos clearly says the tabernacle of David will be raised again and that has not happened yet, so that is one of the prophecies of the Old Testament that must be fulfilled. On the other hand if no temple is built there is no prophecy in either Old or New testament that cannot be fulfilled because you have both the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies in the Tabernacle of David. You can measure them and you can put an idol in them.

The Unleashing 11-13-24

@3:04 PM Shared 11-14-24

“Father God, in Jesus Christ’s Name, I pray. It looks like it’s supposed to rain, but it looks eerie. It feels unnatural, it almost feels scary. So, God, what’s going on? Father God, what’s going on? Is it time? Is it time? What’s going on, God? It feels unnatural (I’ve been feeling this for days). As gloomy and as dark as it looks, it makes me think the darkness is starting to fall, but it’s overcast Father God (I was in prayer).”

“Great evil daughter, great evil has come. The time of the unleashing has arrived upon your world.

Hear Me now, daughter, hear Me now. The time of unleashing,. The time of the unleashing. The time of the unleashing has occurred upon your world. The unleashing, daughter, the unleashing of it all.

The unleashing of the nuclear weapons upon your world, followed by the unleashing of all Hell.

All the kingdom of darkness that has not been bound and sent back to the abyss reserved until the time they’re thrown into the Lake of Fire. If you had not prayed this way and others, daughter, you would have all of Hell, except for those designated to be released a few moments later. (Understand the abyss, pit, deep— they’re all the same).

Great sorrow has come to your world.

The eerie calm, daughter, that is you feeling in the spirit what’s about to erupt and be unleashed. Some call it super sensitivity, I call it being in tune with My Holy Spirit. Being in tune with the spirit realm that’s converging with your physical realm. The unrest that’s in these realms are merging. They’re merging, daughter, they’re merging. An unleashing.

An unleashing of nuclear power, of nuclear weapons of mass destruction I declare shall come to your world.

I shall burn this world with a man-made product manufactured by the blueprints of the kingdom of darkness, of the fallen angels, and nephilim. But I shall unleash My own fire and I shall melt this world. I shall purge it removing all the filth and the sin.

A new earth and a new Heaven shall come forth, not ever touched by sin ever again. An unleashing, daughter, it’s time for an unleashing. It’s time for the unleashing of all these things. It’s time, daughter, it’s time. This is what you are feeling.

Triggered, triggered, triggered by the election of Trump.

Donald J Trump. And when the world turn their eyes upon him, a mere man, a mere person, a mere inferior being to Me, God Almighty then you initiated the destruction because it was not just your nation, daughter, but the whole world has risen up saying ‘He will save us.’ No, he will not! No, he will not, daughter, no he will not. He is the enemy in disguise, yet he is still in between choices. There’s still hope for him, daughter, but not for much longer. He’s going to have to choose just like every man, woman, and child that comes to the age of accountability, comes to the age of realizing that they need a Savior, that they can’t do it on their own. They are not their own savior. The fallen angels, lucifer is not the savior. Satan cannot save them.

It takes the Blood of My Son to save each man, woman, and child.

So their souls, their souls, their souls can be redeemed instead of being cast into Hell where all souls go if they’re not bought by My Son’s Blood. So the unleashing goes forth and it goes forth now. I have commanded it from My Throne and My Son has carried that order out. Now is the time for the unleashing. It’s time for the unleashing. It’s time for the unleashing. The unleashing of nuclear power being used. The unleashing of the darkness to come. The unleashing of war and the invasion of Babylon. The unleashing of war around My Beloved Land, Israel. The unleashing. The unleashing of the man of sin. The unleashing. The unleashing of the One Word Religion. The unleashing of the One World Government. The unleashing of the One World Money. The unleashing of antichrist’s regime. The unleashing of hunting down My children left behind that refused to live godly according to My Word to obey what My Son has instructed. The unleashing, the unleashing, daughter, is now upon your world. This is what you are feeling, daughter. It’s like when you open something that’s been vacuum sealed and you hear that whoosh, that air escaping. Daughter, this is that eerie feeling. It begins with nuclear weapons. That time is now. It’s time for dirty snow as I have called it to you symbolically, daughter. Dirty snow. It’s time for dirty snow to be spread around and contaminate this world. A just reward for the fallen angels for destroying My world I created. The unleashing, daughter this is what you’re feeling. This is it. This is it. This is it. This is it. I wish for none to perish, so it’s time to repent and repent now. Those that My Spirit is calling, i’s time to repent and come to the arms of My Son. Come to His Cross. Come to His Cross where you crucified Him. Come to His Cross where you tried to take His life. Come to His Cross where victory was bought for each one that comes. Repent of your sins. Ask for forgiveness and He will wash you clean with His Blood that He shed. Every drop He shed was not in vain. It was shed for the whole world, all that will come and all that’s been chosen. If not, many of you, I say, will burn. Many of you shall burn. You will burn. You will burn. You will burn. And many of you will be left in a world barely livable and recognizable. This is the heritage of what the fallen angels produce. Corruption, decay, misery, death, pestilence, plagues, famine. All a product of sin that you allowed in when you chose them over My Son and Me. It’s the time of the unleashing. This is the heaviness in your heart. This is what you’re feeling. The unleashing, daughter. It’s done. It’s done. It’s declared. It’s commanded. It’s been brought forth by My Son. It’s time for the unleashing. Unleash/unleashing definition: A strong or violent force to be released or become unrestrained. To throw, shoot, or set in motion forcibly. Verses Zechariah 14:12; Ephesians 6:12; Job 40:11-13; Hosea 5:15; John 3:16-17; 2 Peter 3:9-14; Psalms 78:34; Malachi 3:1-6; Amos 8:7-10; Matthew 7:7

Let's compare the 70 weeks in Daniel with the Lord's word about forgiving someone 70 x 7. This number 490 is very significant because the name of Jesus appears 490 times in the even books of the New Testament and 490 times in the odd books in the New Testament, and so together the New Testament gives us a testimony of the forgiveness of Jesus Christ, mentioning His name 980 times. Not only so but if you go 1960 years from 70 AD you get a testimony (2 x 980) of Jesus and His forgiveness before Armageddon.

There is another pattern: 7 weeks, 52 weeks and 1 week. 7x7x4 = 196 add that to 70 and you get 266 AD. At that time the Gallic empire and the Xi Jin Dynasty were established. 52x7x4 + 266 = 2002. That is right after 2001 when we had 911 and the warning shot that everyone in the US would suffer the same judgment if they did not repent. This is also when the Gulf war began, starting a 28 year period that will culminate in Armageddon.

Last night I had another dream. A few days ago I asked the Lord to help make me more empathetic for those who are left behind. In this dream it was one person after another coming up to me saying they couldn't afford to eat. One guy was going to go live in a cabin where he wouldn't have to pay rent but would have to live off the land. Another wasn't even collecting social security even though he was eligible and apparently the reason was that the money they paid was essentially worthless. You feel so helpless and powerless to help others. But then I woke up with the verse

John 11:40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

My understanding was to pray, asked the Lord to bless what you have and He can multiply a few fish and a few loaves of bread to feed five thousand.

God Gave Him An INTENSE DREAM That Is Hard For Him To Share! The Alerts Are Sounding Now

Let's all be clear, what is coming is from the Lord. He is Lord of all and He is the one who is allowing this. You will not be able to escape because everyone needs to make a public confession of your faith in the Lord or of your worship for AntiChrist. This is that time during the exam when they say pencils down. The Lord needs your answer now and so they will find you. They will use dogs, infrared goggles, drones, satellites, spies, etc. At some point you will need to crawl out of your hole and look for water or food. If you cook food they'll find you. So yes, you can dig a hole and hide there for awhile eating cold canned food. But in the end whether that is a few weeks or months you will come out of that hole and need to make a public confession.

There are a number of types and shadows of the last days with the Antichrist.

Nimrod, Nebuchadnezzar, Antiochus Epiphanes, Adonijah, Absalom, the Caesar at the time of the early church, and of course Hitler.

Interesting that this movie depicts the Caesar at the time of the early church as being a preview of the last days with the Antichrist.

As for Musk there is no doubt in my mind that he is a man of faith, just not the Christian faith. Satanists are not atheists.

The other mistake people make about the Antichrist is to equate him with someone very mean. He could just as easily be someone giving you candy, like the man in the van offering the little girl walking to school candy. I was once told by small children in Sunday school that Halloween was good because you get candy.

It's one, two, three strikes your out in the old ball game.

I think this brother does an excellent job of expounding on the 70th week in Daniel and showing that the 70th week referred to Jesus' ministry beginning with the baptism by John the Baptist, the crucifixion was when He was cut off and that the stoning of Stephen was the Jewish religions doubling down on their rejection of Jesus as the Messiah.

Because of this he shows, and I agree, that the idea there is a 2,000 year gap from Messiah being cut off to the 70th week is in error.

However, I refer to the seven year tribulation in Revelation as the 70th week. Why would I do that if I agree with His teaching (I add the link at the end of this discussion).

1. First we must understand the significance of 70 weeks. A week is a period of 7 (in this case it is years), 70 weeks = 7x70, or 490. That should immediately remind people of Jesus saying that you should forgive 70 x 7 times. That would indicate that Jesus was still forgiving after his crucifixion and that it was when Stephen died that the period of 70x7 ended for the nation of Israel.

2. We know that the Jews were given 70x7 times to sin, repent and be forgiven. But the nations weren't. When the Jews stoned Stephen what does it say?

Acts 8:1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.

That event scattered them to Samaria which was a mixture between Jews and Gentiles.

4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.

They were not preaching everywhere prior to this.

26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. 27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.

The stoning of Stephen was the end of the 490 years. But the other thing we should be reminded of is 7x7 = 49. Every seven years is called a Shemitah, then after seven shemitahs, the next year, the fiftieth year, is the year of Jubilee.

So the gospel to the Jews of having a chance to be forgiven closed in Acts 7, in Acts 8 the Jubilee is declared among the Gentiles. But that is not exactly what this said. They were scattered abroad from Jerusalem. Judaea is still part of Israel and so is Samaria.

490 years later leads us to the Byzantine empire, a critical step for the gospel of Jesus Christ to go throughout the whole earth.

490 years later Canute became king of England, a Christian, aiding with the gospel. The Song dynasty also formed expanding the silk road and trade along it bringing the gospel to China.

490 years later you have the exploration of the new world.

490 years later you have the internet, web browsing, and Youtube allowing the gospel to go to the entire world. However, it has since taken another 40 years of testing for this truly to become something that everyone on earth uses.

The goal of preaching the gospel to the entire world took 1,960 years + 40 years, just as it took 2,000 years from Adam to Abraham, or from Abraham to Jesus. Think of this gospel as a river and wherever the river goes it brings life to the desert.

3. This concept is reenforced in the New Testament. If you divide the New Testament into odd and even books the odd books have almost twice as many words and the even books. However, both odd and even have exactly 490 mentions of Jesus. So then think of the New Testament as a testimony (two signifies a testimony) that Jesus shed His blood that we may be forgiven. So then 980 becomes a testimony of Jesus' forgiveness. Then consider the church age to be a testimony of that, two 980 year periods as a testimony of a testimony of Jesus' forgiveness. The number four refers to God's creation. Jesus work of salvation as seen in the creation over the last 1960 years from Stephen's stoning is what the church age is. That period concluded in 1994 when people could begin to browse the internet. The next forty years that testimony was uploaded and shared on the internet to people all over the earth.

The point of these three points is that 70 weeks is not random, it is not something that Daniel pulled out of his hat, it is a fundamental pattern in the Bible. Think of 490 to refer to ten jubilees and 4 refers to the creation. It takes a complete set of jubilees worked into creation to bring them into salvation. It took four of them to work God the Father into the creation, four of them to work God the son into the creation and four of them to work God the Spirit into the creation.

4. But now, in 2024 we have had 12 of these complete jubilees plus a 40 year period of testing for each of the Godhead to arrive at where we are today. This means time is up. In the book of Revelation it describes the angel announcing that the gospel of grace has ended. It is absurd to say that the gospel of grace ended when Stephen was stoned.

5. Pattern is prophecy. There is a pattern in Abraham being saved that is prophetic for us today. There is also a pattern in Jesus going to the cross that is prophetic for us today. The reason we have described many of the events of the last seven year tribulation as being the 70th week is because there is a pattern there that fits the prophecies in Revelation and the New Testament.

Romans 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

God made an eternal covenant with Abraham, and with David. This covenant was confirmed by Jesus when He died on the cross. The church age has been a foretaste of this power and grace through the Holy Spirit. But there are many, many prophecies in both the Old and New Testament that will be fulfilled by people who rejected Jesus being saved, and that includes the Jewish nation. The Jews as a nation have to be saved last because it is their rejection of Jesus that gives the nations an opportunity to get saved. God intentionally chose the most obstinate of all people to give His holy word to. One reason was so that salvation could come to the Gentiles.

4. But now, in 2024 we have had 12 of these complete jubilees plus a 40 year period of testing for each of the Godhead to arrive at where we are today. This means time is up. In the book of Revelation it describes the angel announcing that the gospel of grace has ended. It is absurd to say that the gospel of grace ended when Stephen was stoned.

5. Pattern is prophecy. There is a pattern in Abraham being saved that is prophetic for us today. There is also a pattern in Jesus going to the cross that is prophetic for us today. The reason we have described many of the events of the last seven year tribulation as being the 70th week is because there is a pattern there that fits the prophecies in Revelation and the New Testament.

Romans 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

God made an eternal covenant with Abraham, and with David. This covenant was confirmed by Jesus when He died on the cross. The church age has been a foretaste of this power and grace through the Holy Spirit. But there are many, many prophecies in both the Old and New Testament that will be fulfilled by people who rejected Jesus being saved, and that includes the Jewish nation. The Jews as a nation have to be saved last because it is their rejection of Jesus that gives the nations an opportunity to get saved. God intentionally chose the most obstinate of all people to give His holy word to. One reason was so that salvation could come to the Gentiles.

AntiChrist is a counterfeit Christ.

A counterfeit bill is going to look just like the real thing. Hence I expect a forerunner, I expect a "gospel", I expect a counterfeit worship by the Jews. It is not going to be the real thing because they won't have the real sacrifice. However, I see no evidence in the Bible that a temple will be rebuilt during this counterfeit Christ reign. Instead I think the tabernacle of David will be raised, just as Amos says.

Suitcase nuke threat

My understanding is that they will hit 10 cities at once, and that each suitcase nuke takes out an area of about 3 square miles. I think the reason for this is because if you take out a select 10 electric substations in the US you will take down the entire grid in the US. However, this is better than an EMP because although you take down the whole grid you don't destroy every single device that uses electricity. Once you replace the substations you can bring the grid back up. It is possible to target a specific electric substation while only destroying one. with any single suitcase nuke. These substations take 2 years to manufacture. However, I understand that we import many of them from China. So China would know the location and exact specifications of these substations. They could also manufacture them prior to the attack so that six months later they could bring in troops, restore order and turn the lights back on.

This would also mean that they would not cause a secondary nuclear crisis to nuclear power plants because they have generators that operate off of diesel in the event of a blackout. As long as you had enough diesel they could keep running and you can imagine that would be the primary concern of the US military and national guard. So you don't want to fry everything. You want the trucks to still work which will supply these power plants with diesel and you want their generators to work.

However, without electricity electric trains would also not work. Also, gas stations with gasoline and diesel would not be able to pump gas. That would not completely shut down supply trucks. For example, if a truck were filled with diesel when it ran out of fuel it could refill its tank with the diesel it is hauling. But it would certainly reduce transportation to the most essential vehicles. Obviously within a week or two weeks in a best case scenario the US could respond by putting gasoline generators and pumps in these gas stations. The problem is that without electricity you don't have refrigeration or freezers. A lot of food will get tossed out. Also, if you can't transport food for two weeks the major cities will be completely out of food and that will be causing major problems nationwide. It is not like you would have a single site, there would be cities in every state in a crisis. Looting and riots will break out after a few days. Without electricity you don't have street lights or phones or security systems. In a few days the cop cars will also be out of gas.

To stay warm people will be lighting fires so there will be many more fires and without fuel the fire department won't be able to put any of them out, especially since without electricity they won't be able to pump water. Most water towers will be empty by the end of the first week. Toilets won't flush. Dysentery will be a major problem, in the winter hypothermia will be a major problem, and the dead will be piling up. Hospitals will not be able to help anyone, ambulances won't run, riots and looting will cause many more to die. Without police people will be defending themselves with their own guns.

So even if you could get a few gas stations up and running in a few weeks and create supply routes for trucks, think how dangerous it would be. You are the only truck on the road, roving gangs with guns will probably be acting as pirates to steal the truck and everything on it.

So many more will die of famine.

I believe that is the plan in order to make it very easy for their military to roll in six months later and take over without anyone firing a shot. Think of some guy with a thousand rounds living in Mad Max realm. Six months is 180 days. If they simply shoot five bullets a day they'll be out of ammo in six months. I would suspect in the first week or so no one is thinking about conserving ammo and might use up 500 bullets. But then if they only shoot three bullets a day they'll be out in six months.

By using suitcase nukes you don't know who attacked you. But then I suspect Russia will also use their poseidon torpedos which will cause 240 million Americans to be homeless refugees. Without a car or truck how much ammo can you carry? Most infantry soldiers can only carry 210 rounds. So now that guy can only shoot one round per day and still they'll be out in six months.

So my idea is they will target ten cities and particularly ten electric sub stations to bring down the whole grid. We have three separate grids so you would have to take out at least 3 substations in each of those grids. However, it is divided up even more than that. So if someone were an expert on this they could probably identify the targets necessary to do this. However, if they wipe out the entire US coastline five miles deep then you can be sure the grid will also be wiped out.

The scary thing is that our military also uses the domestic electric grid. You take down the grid they will be severely crippled. Now if your navy were to return they could set up command centers in every port. Therefore I think they are luring them out of the US prior to this attack and then before they can set up these command centers they will hit the coastline with the Poseidon torpedos wiping out all of our ports, at least temporarily.

In this attack I expect 60 million will die and 180 million will become refugees. The majority of that 180 million will die since they are not used to camping and hiking and would be unable to feed themselves or keep themselves warm. I don't believe rural towns could handle 180 million refugees in this situation and would use their guns to defend themselves and their town.

If this were to take place prior to Thanksgiving then mid May the UN forces could roll in. How many people would still be alive? Perhaps 100 million, a third or even a fourth of what we had prior to the attack. For the most part they would be out of ammunition. Their might be a few pockets of prepper communities, but that would be easy to overcome.

Acts gives us an outline of the Church age

Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Jesus gives us our mission after appearing 40 times to the believers. The number 40 indicates a test and every time that Jesus appeared to them depicted in the gospels was a test. The Road to Emmaus was a test. Not listening to the sisters who said they had seen Jesus risen was a test, doubting Thomas was tested, Peter going fishing was tested.

This witness in Jerusalem begins:

Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

This depicts the word of God going throughout the entire earth.

41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. 42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

This is the church age. They are seen to have lived in one accord and to boldly preach the gospel in word and in deed.

Acts 4:36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus, 37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

This is a thanksgiving offering. A thanksgiving offering is a freewill offering. In the US we have a national holiday that is designed to remind everyone to be thankful. The first time the US declared a national day of Thanksgiving was when George Washington did it after the revolutionary war. You could compare him to Barnabas, a son of consolation. This offering was made immediately after "the apostles with great power gave witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus". George Washington saw that power and gave thanks.

Acts 5:1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. 3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

The second time the US declared a national day of thanksgiving was when Abraham Lincoln did it. However, his thought was that this might unite the country and avoid a civil war. He was doing this for political purposes. The South recognized that. It is no coincidence that he died in office. When you give thanks to God make sure you are being honest and not manipulative. The third time the US declared a national day of Thanksgiving was when FDR did it. He wanted a national holiday to kick off the Christmas season and to get people out buying stuff. He thought this would help stimulate the US economy to get out of the great depression. Again, it is no coincidence that he also died in office. Also note that Lincoln and FDR were both president during the worst wars in US history. A generation is 70 years, 80 if it is rebellious. It was less than 75 years from Washington declaring a day of Thanksgiving to Lincoln, that would make it a submissive generation. Then from Lincoln to FDR was more than 75 years, making it a rebellious generation and from FDR to today is 83 years making it a rebellious generation. But look at what happens next?

11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things. 12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch. 13 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them. 14 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.) 15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them. 16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.

The church age began in this way. Think of the age having two bookends, this is one of them. The other one will be when the dead in Christ rise first, and then those who remain are caught up to the Lord.

Immediately after this we have persecution. The religious leaders are indignant, the church needs to get deacons to help make sure the poor are fed, and then Stephen gives his message that Jesus is the Christ and is stoned to death. Some argue that this is the end of the 70th week in Daniel. That is it is the end of Jesus giving them 70x7 times to be forgiven. This is also how the seven year tribulation will be. In the middle of it the two witnesses die, being a conclusion to the 70x7 times of forgiveness to the world. After that the Great Tribulation begins. So Stephen gives us a preview of the two witnesses, and prior to that you will see the church struggling to feed the poor during this period of tribulation. You will also see the apostle arrested and put in prison and give a bold testimony to those in power.
