More concerning eternal salvation
1Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Fornication is the act of sex outside of marriage, a fornicator is one who that is who they are. They go to clubs with the intention of finding someone there to have sex with. Thieves are those who this is what they do, whereas someone may have stolen something at some time in their life. A person might get drunk once, that doesn't make them a drunkard. A drunkard is like the town drunk. This happens regularly and frequently, it has become who they are. So although every person is a sinner, born in sin, that comes short of the glory of God, not every person lives in a particular sin that defines them.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Yes, a fornicator, idolater, adulterer, thieves, drunkards, extortioners, they can all be saved. But after they are saved they are washed. To live in one of these sins is like a homeless man living in dirty, smelly clothes. When you get saved and baptized, you get washed. Then you are sanctified. You don't put those smelly clothes back on you put clean, new clothes on. To be sanctified is to be separated from that dirty lifestyle. Then you are justified. We are justified by faith. It takes faith to receive the Lord, it takes faith to be baptized, it takes faith to be sanctified. You are walking in the name of the Lord Jesus. That means you are walking in the person and work of Jesus. And, you are walking by the Spirit of our God. Within you the Spirit is leading and guiding you.
If these things are not the case then your faith is dead just like James said.
James 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
If you truly have faith in the Lord within you there will be the question "what prevents me from being baptized". That is a work of faith. Likewise after being saved and baptized you will be reviled when asked to return to your old lifestyle. That is a work of faith sanctifying you. Then instead of eating at the soup kitchen you will be led to serve there. This leading should be internal, the Spirit within you, and not some outward attempt to "be like God". The Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit should be leading and guiding you in your life. If so, then your faith is alive, if not then it is dead.
This is the problem I have with Once Saved Always Saved. Yes, there is eternal security, but there is also a living faith that we live and walk by every day. Yes it is true that there is nothing you can do to wash away your sins, it is only Jesus' blood that can cleanse you from sins. It is all of Him, and we are saved by grace. But it is also true that being saved we are also washed, and sanctified, and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. Many who teach the OSAS doctrine omit the second half. That is called a lie by omission. I believe in the full assurance of salvation, but I also believe all the other verses in the New Testament warning about those who turn aside from the narrow way that leads to life.

Shall I take the members of Christ and make them members of a Satanic cult?
1 Corinthians 6:15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
Is this really that big an issue in the church? Sure, there are Christians who have been caught with harlots, but the fact that it is such a big scandal indicates that this is not the norm, it is not typical, and we all understand how hypocritical it is for a brother or sister to be with a harlot.
But let's talk about what is really common, extremely common in Christianity. They have FreeMason's on the board of directors of denominations and pretty much any big mega church. The church is the body of Christ and by having a FreeMason on the board they have joined the church to FreeMasons. The FreeMasons provide money, a lot of it. With that money they buy expensive sound systems, they live stream their meetings, and they have a well equipped band. They may also be able to afford big concerts and other events that draw a lot of people to the "church". By joining the church, the Body of Christ, to FreeMasons they become one body, one flesh.
So then what is the influence of the FreeMasons. First they emphasize increase. It sounds good, people being saved is a wonderful outcome from the gospel. Jesus told us to be His witnesses baptizing people into the triune God. But then they use the goal of increase to put pressure on the pastor not to say anything that might offend people in the congregation! In other words, they censor the gospel so that the salt has lost its saltiness. They provide a lot of money and by all outward measures the church seems to be thriving, but they are putting the light of the gospel underneath a bushel basket. The money from the FreeMasons trumps the fellowship of the apostles. As a result Christianity shrinks from telling you the full counsel of God.
If you see a church with a lot of money and a board of directors, well that is like a mustard plant, a small herb, growing into a great tree where the birds of the field all roost. These birds are the ones who steal the seeds, the word of God. Why do you think these churches never talk about prophecy? In the Bible prophecy is over 25% of all scripture. Why do you think they never talk about the Antichrist and the mark of the beast? Their are birds roosting in these churches stealing these seeds of truth.

Job's Test?
Job 1:8 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? 9 Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? 10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. 11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
This test reminds me of 1 Corinthians 3:12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
If everything that you have has been consecrated to the Lord, then it is no longer your house, or your car, or your land. Also, if you are one with the Lord in all that you do so that you are a coworker with Him, then it is not the work of your hands. Who wants to spend a lifetime building up something that will be burned to the ground and disappear in a day? This is the lesson that Job learns, consecrate all that you have and all that you are and all that you do to the Lord. If Job had done that then the Lord's word of wisdom will protect you from all harm:
Luke 12:33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
I am retired. It has come to my attention how utterly bored some people are. Their bags have waxed old. TV has them bored, it has waxed old. Their job if they still have one is waxed old, everything they thought would satisfy them has waxed old. Many ask me if I am bored, what do I do, etc. The answer is no, I am in the word every day, I am discovering things I never saw before, and it has not waxed old. I got saved when I was 12 years old in 1972. At the time I was seeking for something I could give my whole life to that would not wax old. I thought of a number of things I could do but in each case I realized that would wax old. The story of Job is how the bag that he put his treasure in waxed old, the thieves stole it, the moth corrupted it, and poof, it was all burned and he suffered loss. He made a mistake and clearly his mistake was that his treasure was not in the heavens. Once he repented then everything turned around.

China, Russia, and Iran to hold ANTI-US SUMMIT in Beijing. Could they be prepping for World War 3?
He gives a nice exposition on the current geopolitical situation surrounding this meeting of the worlds evil empires today.
I think there are couple of Biblical parallels
John 11:47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. 48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation. 49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, 50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
In the Old Testament I would say the parallel is to Esther
Esther 6:12 And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered. 13 And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.

OSAS only shares a third of the story
1 Corinthians 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
They emphasize that you were bought with a price. But then they describe "glorify God in your body, and in your spirit" as though that is works of the flesh and that you can't do that. Yes, if Jesus indwells you by The Spirit you can do that. Not of yourself but of Him.
Finally, do they even mention "which are God's"? Everything we have, everything we own, everything we do should be consecrated to God. If your car belongs to God when He says He has need of it you just hand it over, simple. Same with your house, your money, etc. Either it all belongs to God or it doesn't. If everything belongs to God then why would anyone think that the car, or house or airplane is evidence of God's blessing -- the prosperity gospel. If everything belongs to God then you belong to God and then all that is God's is also yours.

Dead Sea Scroll Reveals Day of Jesus Second Coming Based on Daniel and Isaiah
At 5:50 of this video he says the final jubilee is when people will be freed. But, that would not be the rapture, nor would that be during the 70th week since the last year of the 70th week would be the 490th year and the jubilee would be the next year. This day would be a Yom Kippur, the day of Judgement. So then, the day of Judgment does not occur during the 70th week, but the first day after the 70th week is over.
At 6:10 he asks how many churches are celebrating Yom Kippur or even talking about it. This is ignorant. When Jesus ordained the Lord’s table that includes the idea that we are examining ourselves to see if we are in Christ. That means that the Lord’s table is the New Testament version of Yom Kippur. So then every church celebrates it and most likely they read the verses about examine yourself to see if you are in Christ, and so most if not all talk about it as well.
Now we can debate when the jubilee year is, but what we will all have much more agreement on is that Yom Kippur is the 10th day of Tishri and according to the typology of David reigning in Hebron for 7 1/2 years before coming to Jerusalem we can conclude that the rapture will be approximately 6 months prior to Yom Kippur.
This aligns with Exodus. The last plague prior to the Passover was the three days of darkness. That is a shadow of when the rapture takes place because during the rapture those who are left behind are cast out into outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. After this plague it is a new beginning for those left behind with Moses signifying one of the two witnesses. He tells them that Nisan is going to now be the first month of the year for them. So then, both this idea of the Jubilee and Yom Kippur being the end of a 7 1/2 year period and Nisan 1 being the beginning following the rapture all point to the rapture and three days of darkness taking place prior to Nisan.

1 Corinthians 8:3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
This works both ways. The Lord knows your heart. There are those who think they are doing all kinds of things in the name of the Lord and He will say to them "depart from me you workers of iniquity, I never knew you". There are others who are despised and shunned, but God knows them, He knows they love Him, and He knows that love has caused them to pay all that they have for that love.

Did the Bible tell us the day and hour? No, but it told us the secret.
Luke 16:17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
The Bible tells us that no one knows the day or hour of the rapture. Sort of, not exactly. However it does say this
Matthew 24:50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
This is the evil servant that beats his fellow servants. So there will definitely be many "servants of the Lord" that will be caught by surprise by the Lord's coming. In fact the Lord also says this:
Revelation 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
So not knowing the hour that the Lord is coming is a punishment to those who will not watch for the Lord's coming.
So then how do we reconcile this verse:
Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
It must be fulfilled, but so must this verse
Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
The Lord told us the secret -- it will be as the days of Lot. The days of Lot include the day that God told Abraham what He was going to do in Sodom. It also includes the day the angels told Lot what God was going to do.
Abraham was told a few days before and Lot was told a few hours before. How many days before?
Well we see that in the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. We can surmise that Lazarus was not dead when they sent word to Jesus and that he had been dead in the grave for four days when Jesus raised him from the dead. That would tell us that at the very least it was four days prior to the rapture "Abraham", "those who are watching", that is "the prophets" will be told. There will also be another warning for Christians who are not watching but are living in Sodom about 12 hours before.
Therefore it is impossible for someone to read the Bible, and read the book of Enoch and read other spiritual books from the days of Jesus and discern the day of the rapture. However, it is not impossible to know what we are expecting to see four days before and 12 hours before.
In Luke we learn two people died, not just one. Lazarus and the rich man. We learn that Lazarus sat at the gate of the rich man. The rich man was dressed in purple and he had five brothers and they all should have been believing in what Moses said. So we are expecting to see these two die four days before. We also know from the story of Samson that the rapture takes place on a great sacrifice to Dagon which will occur four days after these two die. We can infer that the worship of Dagon today is carried on by the Catholic church. In the story of Elijah calling down fire we learn that this did not occur on a Pagan holiday but rather it was God that called them all together, and by all we are talking about 850 religious leaders that were "false prophets". Put this altogether with the prophecy of Malachi and it is easy to interpret that the Pope will die, four days later they will hold his funeral in St. Peter's Square and 850 false prophets from the world's religions will all gather there.
Jesus also said that the rapture would be as the days of Noah and one of those days was the day that Methuselah died. Methuselah had a prophecy that when he died the end would come. The oldest man to live. So we can look for a similar prophecy in the Bible and we have Isaiah 17 saying Damascus, the oldest continually inhabited city will become a ruinous heap.
Sure enough we consider Jerusalem to be the center of the world's religions and in Jerusalem there is a place called "Damascus gate" and Damascus lies by that gate. So we go to the Damascus gate in Jerusalem and we see the Church of St. Stephen, a Catholic church.
We can also infer from John 5 that the rapture takes place during the season of Purim and we can infer from John 11 that Jesus got the message concerning Lazarus on the Equilux, waited until the Equinox, and then two days later arrived in Bethany to raise Lazarus from the dead.
Did the Bible tell us the day and hour? No, but it told us the secret.
Luke 16:17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

This is the evil servant that beats his fellow servants. So there will definitely be many "servants of the Lord" that will be caught by surprise by the Lord's coming. In fact the Lord also says this:
Revelation 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
So not knowing the hour that the Lord is coming is a punishment to those who will not watch for the Lord's coming.
So then how do we reconcile this verse:
Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
It must be fulfilled, but so must this verse
Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
The Lord told us the secret -- it will be as the days of Lot. The days of Lot include the day that God told Abraham what He was going to do in Sodom. It also includes the day the angels told Lot what God was going to do.
Abraham was told a few days before and Lot was told a few hours before. How many days before?

There will also be another warning for Christians who are not watching but are living in Sodom about 12 hours before.
Therefore it is impossible for someone to read the Bible, and read the book of Enoch and read other spiritual books from the days of Jesus and discern the day of the rapture. However, it is not impossible to know what we are expecting to see four days before and 12 hours before.
In Luke we learn two people died, not just one. Lazarus and the rich man. We learn that Lazarus sat at the gate of the rich man. The rich man was dressed in purple and he had five brothers and they all should have been believing in what Moses said. So we are expecting to see these two die four days before. We also know from the story of Samson that the rapture takes place on a great sacrifice to Dagon which will occur four days after these two die. We can infer that the worship of Dagon today is carried on by the Catholic church. In the story of Elijah calling down fire we learn that this did not occur on a Pagan holiday but rather it was God that called them all together, and by all we are talking about 850 religious leaders that were "false prophets". Put this altogether with the prophecy of Malachi and it is easy to interpret that the Pope will die, four days later they will hold his funeral in St. Peter's Square and 850 false prophets from the world's religions will all gather there.
Jesus also said that the rapture would be as the days of Noah and one of those days was the day that Methuselah died. Methuselah had a prophecy that when he died the end would come. The oldest man to live. So we can look for a similar prophecy in the Bible and we have Isaiah 17 saying Damascus, the oldest continually inhabited city will become a ruinous heap.
Sure enough we consider Jerusalem to be the center of the world's religions and in Jerusalem there is a place called "Damascus gate" and Damascus lies by that gate. So we go to the Damascus gate in Jerusalem and we see the Church of St. Stephen, a Catholic church.
We can also infer from John 5 that the rapture takes place during the season of Purim and we can infer from John 11 that Jesus got the message concerning Lazarus on the Equilux, waited until the Equinox, and then two days later arrived in Bethany to raise Lazarus from the dead.
Did the Bible tell us the day and hour? No, but it told us the secret.
Behold, The Aurora Dancing Lights Dream

From "Prophetic dreams and visions from my Lovely Jesus" channel.
I dreamed again, my lovely Jesus Christ. I have tried, tested, discerned, and prayed about it and it has proven to be from You once again. Dear sweet powerful Holy Ghost Spirit, bring it all to my remembrance once again and don’t let me write one word not from Father God’s Heaven, in Jesus Christ’s Name.
I found myself going into this dream on what I knew was somehow Staten Island, New York. I was there long enough to see the Statue of Liberty in the distance lit up with lights. Then, suddenly, I found myself on top of the Statue of Liberty. I mean literally on the top, standing in between the spikes of her crown. There are 7 spikes in total. I’m standing from my estimation somewhere above her right eye when looking her directly in the face. It’s cloudy outside, I noticed as I looked at the sky. The sky doesn’t look natural, not even the lights of the everyday bustle of life present. As I looked out across the waters, I couldn’t help but notice everything seemed covered in a film, like the air was dirty as if everything had a sepia (brown-like) color. Everything has a dimness to it wherever I look. Even the lights of the buildings seemed to have been dimmed. It’s eerie and unnatural looking over the whole area where I’m at in New York. I looked up at the night sky again, covered in clouds in most places. I could see stars here and there, so the dark film wasn’t a full darkness. This reminds me of how it’s described in part when darkness fell for 3 hours on the crucifixion day, I thought to myself. The areas affected were darkened yet they could still see the stars, its reported. Even the clouds look like there was a sepia film over them. A feeling of apprehension and dread filled my being. Something has happened here to cause everything in every direction to appear in such a darkened state. I also had an understanding that this is not covering the whole world. I looked out across the water and land once again, from my vantage point on top of the Statue of Liberty, not liking the uneasy feeling of dread that is spread throughout my body and mind. “Jesus Christ, my Love, what is it?” I asked Him out loud. I felt a strong, uncontrollable desire to look up into the sky once again. As I did, I saw a round red blood moon that was shining somehow through the dirtiness of the air that even though it was still seeable, it too, looked like a film coating of dinginess was over it. My mouth dropped open as I exclaimed, “The Blood Moon! It’s the time of Purim, of God’s judgment for the world, and deliverance for His people once again!” I’m not sure how much time passed as I stood staring at the red moon, no longer covered by the clouds that seemed now as if fixed in its position for me to see. “Father God”, I whispered, “Please have mercy in judgment.” All of a sudden I began to see bits and pieces of color appearing in the sky. And then quickly the sky was lit up with them. “It’s the dancing, colorful Aurora Lights!” I exclaimed, “they’re here!” The time is now and I knew whatever caused the dinginess in the air was contributing to the lights being vibrantly seen. This is in addition to the hole in the earth’s ozone layer and the weakening of our magnetic field where the Black Rock is losing its magnetic ability. Then I heard a voice fill the sky around me that I recognized as my lovely Jesus Christ. “I have done everything for My children to be prepared. I have told them when this is happening. I have told them how to prepare. I’ve given them signs in the sky that relate to My return. I’ve given them biblical background… the deliverance of My people. This is the end, Daughter. I take My children home. Those that are willing, waiting, and ready. I take them home. Your scholars, and My people, and others that studied the Word of God, My written Word, have misinterpreted the meaning of many things, not rightly dividing it and discerning it with the Holy Spirit leading them. This is why there’s so much fighting and error among My children. The fallen ones have come in with their heresy, with their twisting of Scripture, with their new divine revelation, and it’s not of Me. My Word must be spiritually discerned and the true discernment comes from My Holy Ghost Spirit. The fallen ones have some understanding as time goes by of what things mean, but they look to My true prophets, My true children, to get an understanding of what it really means, because their hearts are blackened and their minds darkened.” After He spake, I stood there on top of the Statue of Liberty with the dancing aurora lights all around me which were beautiful to behold, but to me I knew the fierce judgment of a Holy God behind them. For soon and very soon the 3 Days of Darkness will fall in the coming hours and what is to follow is worse in that it will bring the unleashing of all that is evil to our world. For those who are ready for Jesus Christ’s return, they will soon find deliverance has come for them. Just as in the days of Esther and the Jewish people in this time of Purim. Then I awoke.

When did Lazarus die?
We are not told but we have some hints. Jesus gets the message that Lazarus is very sick and says that there are 12 hours in the day. That suggests he got the message on the equilux and two days later is the equinox at which point He returns to Bethany to discover that Lazarus has been in the grave for four days. We must assume that it took at least two days to get to Bethany otherwise they would have sent the message that Lazarus was sick after he had died. This means that Lazarus was sick during Purim.
What is the story of Purim? The Jews who were slated to die were instead saved, snatched from the jaws of death. That is also the story of Lazarus.
Passover is the first month of the year where Jesus conquered death on our behalf, and the last month of the year is when we have Purim, that is when those who had put their trust in Jesus were raised from the dead.
But in Luke we learn that the rich man also died, the man dressed in purple. This is also the story of Purim, instead of the Jews being killed Haman and his ten sons were put to death.

How your testimonies can cause unbelievers to fall down on their face and worship God
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. 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.
The secret is not one great, fantastic testimony. The secret is if everyone speaks for the Lord. When I first started this blog it was on another platform and my thought was that no one would be interested, perhaps ten other people in the whole world. I intentionally made the title something that would repel anyone not interested in the Bible. I wanted something the opposite of click bait so no one would click on this and then think "this is not what I was looking for". I did not advertise and in the days of fancy Youtube videos and deep fakes and all the other bells and whistles I wanted something stripped bare of all that. I did not want to attract anyone that wasn't simply interested in knowing what the Bible says. But that was not my only burden. The word "summary" was used because I knew many people are busy, I wanted to search and sift through any other posts and share links. This way someone could save time and see anything that was relevant and new for that day, basically the same way a newspaper used to work. This is the concept of sharing your top ten percent, skim off the cream and share that.
But look what happened, in the last few years the number of people sharing on the rapture, expounding on scripture, experience dreams and visions, it has exploded. It is this fact, that all are speaking, that people are being convinced of all, they are being judged of all and that the secrets are being made manifest.
We discovered the prophesies in the Psalms, we examined many of the doctrines surrounding this topic, debunking some and confirming others, we included the testimonies of people from around the world, we interpreted the signs in the heavens, the Revelation 12 sign and the Writing on the Wall sign, and we did all things unto edifying. The truth that God is in us is undeniable, it has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt. Amen.

The Green Warning Dream
3-16-25@ 10:36 AM, Prophetic dreams and visions from my lovely Jesus channel on Youtube.
"Be still, Daughter." As I looked all around me, all I could see was green. The color green, almost a Kelly Green in its color, green swirling all around me and then it abruptly stops and it’s gone. Now I’m standing near what looks like a marble fountain. The water was green, yet I seemed not surprised. “Preparations. Preparations,” I heard spoken out loud then continued. “For festivals and festivities honoring patrons and saints that no longer focus on them, but have become a time of festivals and feasting to honor false gods and their created traditions. I hate your feast days and traditions, O world. They are foolishness. You should be preparing for this!”I heard the voice thunder in a loud booming voice. Then, suddenly, everything went totally black. I could see nothing, not even my hands before me. The voice thundered again in the darkness, “But before this, Babylon shall endure this.” Then suddenly the dark blackness was whisked away as if by an unseen hand. Now again I found myself outside, but now it appears to be dark as at night because there are outside lights where I’m at I could see, wherever this location is. I’m not sure until I looked over and I saw what looked like a piece of land in the distance. I realized I’m on some type of boat in the water. I feel it’s somehow so I can better observe something. As the boat draws closer to the land, it’s as if my eyesight has increased substantially. There are decorations of green I saw, even though the city’s lands are still a good ways from me. I heard a loud booming noise coming from the area of the brightly lit cities on the land masses before me as I’m still in the boat a good distance away. Then suddenly, I saw what looked like a ball of roaring flames that erupted now with clouds that appeared grey with a tint of purple in great billows that began forming into a mushroom-type cloud. While also a bright flash has occurred of light. There was a moment in this time that all seemed to be happening at once, even when the sky appeared to have a moment of redness to it. Then the clouds kept billowing and the fires were spreading. It looked alive. There were what looked like fire tornadoes forming in the area, causing more destruction. I didn’t see the actual point zero from this far away, but the destruction was evident. There’s so much smoke, ash, debris, destruction, not to mention the radioactive particles in the air that visibility is becoming harder to see clearly and fully. I’m in stunned shock. I’m looking at the scene before me in horror, as I realized there’s nothing more I can do to help these people in New York in all that’s come. I warned, now warning time is over. I heard the booming voice that filled the sky once again declare with great authority, “No more warnings will be given, for this matter is settled in the Courts of Heaven. All choices have been made. Even mercy has been given to some. Now I proceed without delay.” Then I awoke. I realized there really is nothing more I can do. I warned all who would listen, with many rejecting these warnings as foolishness. So Father God and Lord Jesus Christ, let Your perfect will be done in this matter and all other locations to come, in Your Son’s Name I pray, because You are just, holy and righteous in all Your ways.

Verses Amos 5:20-26; 8:1-10, Hosea 2:11, Jeremiah 32: 27, 31, Isaiah 1:4-31, Colossians 2:8; 18
Isaiah 1:4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
The US used to be called "a Christian nation" and that was expressed in everything. "Father knows Best" was an example of our TV shows, "A beautiful life" was an example of our movies. But now the US is seen as evildoers whereas years ago we were seen as charitable. Now we are seen as corrupters pushing our media on others, using propaganda and multinational corporations. Initially we cleaved to the Lord, but the US forsook the Lord in the last fifty years. Now our big events like awards ceremonies and Super bowl provoke the Holy One unto anger. We were taking the lead nationwide but now we have gone backward.
5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
Since the Vietnam war we have been stricken. We should have woken up with the assassinations of JFK and RFK and Martin Luther King Jr. 911 and the Mortgage meltdown were both evidence that the whole head of the US was sick and the whole heart faint.
6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
The AIDS epidemic was horrible and yet Fauci continued to be the guy in charge as we developed more gain of function viruses and unleashed Covid19 on the whole world.
7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
Look at Detroit, it is shocking. Portland Oregon and Washington DC are overrun with the homeless camped out on the sidewalks. The illegals are devouring our country in our presence.
8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
It is disgusting what has happened to "organized Christianity". These big mega churches (not the cottages but the estates), they have LGBTQ flags out front, they have Transgender preachers speaking from the Pulpit. As a result the genuine believers are left in cottages in the middle of a garden of cucumbers, a cesspool of fornication.
9 Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
Billy Graham gave this warning and Wilkerson gave this warning. Many have given this warning for the most part it has been ignored and scorned.
10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. 11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
Today is the celebration of St. Patrick, a man who is said to have brought Christianity to Ireland. How do they celebrate this? By getting drunk. Like it or not this "holy day" is associated with people going from one bar to another getting drunk, just one day long party of drinking. What did the Lord say about the evil servant who beats his fellow servants and eats and drinks with the drunken? How many Christians will also celebrate this festival with the drunkards. Even if they don't get drunk, they will eat and drink with the drunkards.
12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? 13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
An oblation is when you get washed in the water of the word. A vain oblation is when the word no longer has any affect or impact on you. I heard a very interesting message on the fruit of the spirit from Galatians 5. I thought everything the Pastor said was good, it was beneficial, and it was Biblical. What struck me though is what he didn't say. The context of Paul's word was to contrast the works of the Spirit with the works of the flesh. But it was as though they had redacted any mention of that from the word of God.
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
A new moon was a three day weekend. Our appointed feasts would be July 4th and Thanksgiving.
15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
So their sermons from the word of God are vain, they don't actually wash the people of the defiling works of the flesh. Then when they do get a three day weekend or appointed feast it is given to fleshly pursuits so that the Holy One hates them. So then, what is the result? God hides his eyes from you, He won't listen to your prayers. He is disgusted, your hands are full of blood.
16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; 17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
This is what we should be doing. Instead of pleading for the widow they stole their houses during the mortgage meltdown. Instead of judging the fatherless the CIA imports drugs that gangs of kids who are fatherless sell.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
The Lord's blood can wash you from your sins. You need to confess and repent and you can be white as snow.
19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
Many who teach once saved always saved ignore this condition: "if you be willing and obedient". Baptism signifies that you are willing and obedient to be separated from your old life and immersed into the triune God. Yet they often don't teach this. They tell you that you are saved by believing in the Lord, which is true. But they neglect to tell you that if you be willing and obedient you shall eat the good of the land.
21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
A harlot sells her body for money. This is what politicians do now with backroom deals. DOGE is exposing the extent of how much they have sold America to the highest bidder.
22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water: 23 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
This is what we are learning from DOGE and from the last four years with "RINOs" and all the other corrupt politicians who will tell you anything but do something very different. It isn't just politicians, it is lawyers, bankers, pharmaceutical companies and companies that manufacture food.
24 Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies: 25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin: 26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
This is a process of refining silver. You melt down the material and the silver is heavy and will sink while all the impurities rise to the surface and you scoop them off.
27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness. 28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed. 29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen. 30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water. 31 And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
This word is very clear, and Jesus said every jot and tittle of the law will be fulfilled. What you saw with the Palisades fire is simply a statement by God that what He said will happen will happen.

The US used to be called "a Christian nation" and that was expressed in everything. "Father knows Best" was an example of our TV shows, "A beautiful life" was an example of our movies. But now the US is seen as evildoers whereas years ago we were seen as charitable. Now we are seen as corrupters pushing our media on others, using propaganda and multinational corporations. Initially we cleaved to the Lord, but the US forsook the Lord in the last fifty years. Now our big events like awards ceremonies and Super bowl provoke the Holy One unto anger. We were taking the lead nationwide but now we have gone backward.
5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
Since the Vietnam war we have been stricken. We should have woken up with the assassinations of JFK and RFK and Martin Luther King Jr. 911 and the Mortgage meltdown were both evidence that the whole head of the US was sick and the whole heart faint.
6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
The AIDS epidemic was horrible and yet Fauci continued to be the guy in charge as we developed more gain of function viruses and unleashed Covid19 on the whole world.
7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
Look at Detroit, it is shocking. Portland Oregon and Washington DC are overrun with the homeless camped out on the sidewalks. The illegals are devouring our country in our presence.
8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
It is disgusting what has happened to "organized Christianity". These big mega churches (not the cottages but the estates), they have LGBTQ flags out front, they have Transgender preachers speaking from the Pulpit. As a result the genuine believers are left in cottages in the middle of a garden of cucumbers, a cesspool of fornication.
9 Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
Billy Graham gave this warning and Wilkerson gave this warning. Many have given this warning for the most part it has been ignored and scorned.
10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. 11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
Today is the celebration of St. Patrick, a man who is said to have brought Christianity to Ireland. How do they celebrate this? By getting drunk. Like it or not this "holy day" is associated with people going from one bar to another getting drunk, just one day long party of drinking. What did the Lord say about the evil servant who beats his fellow servants and eats and drinks with the drunken? How many Christians will also celebrate this festival with the drunkards. Even if they don't get drunk, they will eat and drink with the drunkards.
12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? 13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
An oblation is when you get washed in the water of the word. A vain oblation is when the word no longer has any affect or impact on you. I heard a very interesting message on the fruit of the spirit from Galatians 5. I thought everything the Pastor said was good, it was beneficial, and it was Biblical. What struck me though is what he didn't say. The context of Paul's word was to contrast the works of the Spirit with the works of the flesh. But it was as though they had redacted any mention of that from the word of God.
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
A new moon was a three day weekend. Our appointed feasts would be July 4th and Thanksgiving.
15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
So their sermons from the word of God are vain, they don't actually wash the people of the defiling works of the flesh. Then when they do get a three day weekend or appointed feast it is given to fleshly pursuits so that the Holy One hates them. So then, what is the result? God hides his eyes from you, He won't listen to your prayers. He is disgusted, your hands are full of blood.
16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; 17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
This is what we should be doing. Instead of pleading for the widow they stole their houses during the mortgage meltdown. Instead of judging the fatherless the CIA imports drugs that gangs of kids who are fatherless sell.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
The Lord's blood can wash you from your sins. You need to confess and repent and you can be white as snow.

Compare King Saul being anointed king with King David being anointed king
Everything was easy for Saul.
1. He was a head taller so he was always the biggest and tallest.
By comparison David was the "runt of the family".
2. He did nothing to be chosen, God sent Him to Samuel, but that was because he was seeking something that was lost.
By comparison David was the one who was left in charge of watching the sheep and making sure none were lost.
3. Then almost immediately he is presented to Israel as king and they all cheer. He hides but when the Philistines attack he then calls all Israel to come help him fight.
By comparison after David is anointed the next thing we see is he is going up against Goliath on his own and slaying him and leading all of Israel in victory.
If you look at Saul becoming king there were prophecies fulfilled, and everything he did people cheered. With David it was many, many years of being pushed down by his brothers and by King Saul so that He had to fully trust in God long before he begins to reign.
King Saul was a novice when he began to reign in contrast David was reigning for years before he actually sat on the throne.
1 Timothy 3:6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

Our best guess on the day in which Lazarus dies is the Equilux in Jerusalem, and that is today. The way several of us read this chapter is that this is the day that Jesus tells the disciples that Lazarus is dead. From Luke 16 we learn that Lazarus dies and the rich man dressed in purple also dies.
None of us knows for sure who this is referring to, but my best guess based on stories from Samson, Elijah and Esther is that the rich man refers to the Pope and Lazarus refers either to Damascus or the US (we could see a collapse of the US dollar today as a response to a surprise attack on the US).
Also the news yesterday that AI will replace coders is confirmation that the Beast system is here. Everything that is important in today's economy and warfare is connected to computers and involves coding. If you cut humans out of the loop we will no longer be in charge nor will we be able to "supervise" AI or put up "guard rails". There are two aspects to super intelligence: strategy and tactics. Tactically speaking AI is already at super intelligence. AI can control hundreds of drones in a drone swarm better than any human can, it isn't even a close contest. Even if you have better strategy, having a massive deficit in tactics can make this an impossible deficit to overcome.
As for the collapse of the US dollar we have been seeing a rapid rise in the price of gold and silver, with the most important ratio being a comparison of the return on investment between various indexes on the US stock market and gold. It has clearly out performed the Dow industrials. The S&P 500 index is less clear, but it has outperformed that as well. In order to see it you would have to take into account fees and tax liability. That was prior to a trade war and a hot WW3, now that we are in both the flight to gold will become a stampede, especially if there is a surprise attack on the US or if Iran goes nuclear and Damascus is destroyed.
So then if this takes place today we can correlate out current position with the day Jesus flipped the tables on the money changers. That would put us four days out from the rapture and the three days of darkness might refer to the first three days that Lazarus was in the grave.
