50 days

Let's discuss this concept of 50 complete steps to the Feast of Weeks. The way in which you count is very important.

15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:

Seven complete sabbaths from the resurrection of Jesus. We have seven churches. We need to see all seven, complete. The last of the seven is Laodicea, a church where the Laity rules. We are seeing this today, where churches are set up to please people. Do not say things that will send the crowds away. Don't talk about sin, don't talk about hell. Preach a prosperity gospel, preach once saved always saved, Do not talk about repentance, or sanctification. So this is the first thing we see to make this count, in other words this is a description of the church age.

16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the Lord.

Unto the Morrow, that to me sounds like unto the Millenial kingdom. God describes the creation as seven days, each a thousand years. The term "unto the Morrow" sounds like the day after the day of the Lord.

How do we make AI to serve man and not destroy him?

Job 41:1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?

This is what the Lord will do at the end of the age.

Ezekiel 38:3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: 5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: 6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.

Being a Christian is not simply about being cleansed by the blood of Jesus and made clean, it is also about becoming the warrior of the Lord to bring in His kingdom.

2 Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn? 3 Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee? 4 Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?

The problem with AI is who is going to serve who? Is man going to become a servant to the computer or will the AI serve man? In the Antichrist Beast empire man will become a servant of AI. In the Millennial kingdom of the Lord AI will become a servant to the Lord. All of these technologies like nuclear power, robots, drones and AI can be used for good as well as for destruction. The question is who will it serve, Satan or the Lord Jesus Christ. Job needed to learn that simply being redeemed does not answer these other questions like how do we make AI to serve man and not destroy him?

Job 41:10 None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?

We should learn this, all things

Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

For example, we hear that they have created these cell phones to track us and create a data base on us. So, we pray Lord Jesus, as they have done to us, let it be done to them. Let them be tracked. Let the cameras and listening devices and AI be turned on them to track them, to hunt them and to do unto them as they have done to others.

We hear how they have created AI to replace people and take their jobs. So Lord we pray, as they have done may it be done to them. They dug a pit, may they fall into the pit they have dug. All these things we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, Lord of All, who has redeemed and justified us by His blood. Amen.

11 Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

All he needed to do was pray

Job 42: Then Job answered the Lord, and said, 2 I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee. 3 Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

We listened to Job complain for the whole book about how God was not fair and now at the end he realizes all he needed to do was to pray. Every time you desire to complain think of it as a reminder to pray instead.

Feast Of Weeks Rapture Patterns In The Gopels


I have several issues with this however, it also brings out some very interesting revelations that I think do shine a light on the rapture.

1. Shavuot is a picture of Moses ascending up the mountain to heaven to get the covenant from God. Jesus fulfilled this on ascension day. I have shown from the Bible that at the very least ascension day had to have been 49 days after Resurrection day. Therefore Jesus would never be telling the disciples to tarry in Jerusalem until the Spirit is poured out on them if that was the same day as Shavuot because they obviously would be staying until the next day since that is why they were all gathered in Jerusalem. So although the Bible does not tell us directly that Jesus ascended on Shavuot we can put the pieces together and realize this certainly was the case.

2. The reason I was reluctant to embrace Shavuot as a picture of the rapture is because it is a picture of the ascension. However, 2 Timothy 2:12 if we endure, we will also reign with him this verse tells us that we will reign with Christ if we endure. So this verse may be pointing to the rapture and the harvesting of "early figs" could also be a type of the rapture.

3. So then, how does this fit with Lot? I think that Lot refers to the left behind saints, just like the end of Luke describes those left behind after the ascension. What the rapture does is once and for all end all debates over who is telling the truth and who isn't. This allows those who are left behind to focus on their ministry. Also, everyone was scared on Shavuot because of the thunder and lightning and this could refer to the fire falling on Sodom and Gomorrah. At the time of the rapture those left behind must flee to the hills just like Lot. This will be in the US where many Christians will have to flee the coasts to go to the inner part of the country. Fifty days later we can have the killing of the 3,000 false prophets of Baal.

I think this solves the riddle of the Pentecost's


He ties Jesus appearing three times after the resurrection in John to the first rapture, the tribulation saints, and the nation of Israel all being saved at the end of the age.

The Pillar of fire and cloud

During the church age we follow the Lord's leading, and it is the pillar of cloud by day and fire by night.

The fire represents the word of life spoken by the spirit filled saints. The cloud represents the cloud of witnesses who have gone before us andd given us their testimony.

Psalm 4:1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. 2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

This word for glory is a reference to a glorious abundance. The first time it was used was when the sons of Laban were saying that Jacob had taken away all that was their father's, all his substance, but they said all his "glory". So that story is a good example of what this Psalm is about. Jacob was in distress, Laban kept changing his wages and tricking him. He called to God and God answered him in his distress so that every time the wages were changed it worked out for good and not evil for Jacob. Personally I believe the account describes how Jacob figured out how to breed animals to get certain traits. But how do the sons of men respond, instead of giving God glory and appreciating what a great discovery this is concerning God's creation they instead are seeking after lies. They want to put all the dots together to somehow prove that Jacob was the one who was a cheat.

3 But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him.

This is what the self righteous do, they must come up with a "proof" that others are wrong in order to justify themselves. They refuse to acknowledge God's hand in what has happened. So the response is, hey God is going to hear when I call and you will continually get slapped down by God's hand until you are humbled beneath that hand to give God the glory and stop trying to justify yourself.

4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

Exactly, when you realize that Jacob didn't cheat anyone, rather he learned how to breed animals to get certain traits, then stand in awe.

5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.

Everything has a cost. A life of crime has a cost, and a life of pursuing righteousness also has a cost. We only have so much we can invest. Do not look at how much money you have, instead God is looking at how much of your life you are investing. Remember when Jesus saw the poor widow casting in two mites into the temple treasury and said she had cast in more than all the rich people because she had cast in all her living, all that she had. If I have $100 million and give $1 million to charity, I have given 1% of my living. If I have $10 to my name and I give $10 to charity I have given 100% of my living, all that I have. It does not require any trust in the Lord to give 1%, but if you give 100% then you are "all in". Your trust is fully in the Lord.

6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

This is glory when everything seems hopeless, you put all your trust in the Lord and He lifts up the light of His countenance upon us. Imagine when Jacob is trusting that still small voice within and then the sheep start having babies and every one is according to how he is going to get paid. The gestation period is 152 days, so on the 153rd day the light of God's countenance is lifted upon Jacob.

7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.

I grew up in a house with a giant tree in our backyard that had been hit by lightning. You could see the scar wrapping around the trunk. Every time I looked at that I imagined what it would have been like to be in the house at that moment with that huge crack of lightning hitting that tree right outside the window. But that is not something you control, hence the expression "to be hit with lightning" meaning a freak accident outside your control. But when those baby lambs are being born it is quite different, it is like discovering electricity and now it is in your control. Now you can flip a switch at any time and the room will light up.

8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.

Only then do you truly have peace that surpasses man's understanding.

Psalm 5:1 Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.

Jacob learned how to breed certain traits, OK, but that is also the same idea behind bioweapons.

2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.

This is the idea behind a mRNA vaccine. They are designing a vaccine that will instruct the human body to make whatever they want the body to make.

3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

The same revelation that can be used for good can also be used for evil.

4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

However, those who have an evil intent for this technology will not dwell with God.

5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

To use revelation about God's creation to kill and destroy the creation is foolish. They think this will make them powerful, they don't realize they will never be able to stand in the sight of God this way. He hates all workers of iniquity. There are two viable strategies for Jacob to increase his wages when Laban changes them. He can kill all baby sheep that do not fit that bill or, like Jacob he can learn to breed them so that more will fit that bill. Suppose you want to rule the world as king and 20% of the people support you. One approach is a coup in which you try and kill the 80% that don't support you, or the other viable approach is to help the 20% to grow in grace and stature so that the 80% realize you are a really great king. That is what a bioweapon is, it is an evil worker of iniquity, designed by a fool who wants to be king.

6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

That is what happened during the Pandemic, we were surrounded by "fake news". That is all them that speak leasing. The Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man that wrought that evil.

7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

If you have fully put your trust in the Lord you will not follow these evil ones nor be deceived by them because you have already set yourself to come into the Lord's house and trust in the multitude of His mercies.

8 Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

At this time you need the Lord's light to shine bright so you can see the path that you are to go.

9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

Think about Fauci. Years ago he tells us that the best vaccine is to recover from a virus but now he tells us that everyone must get this vaccine whether or not they recovered from Covid. There is no faithfulness in his mouth. Think about Fauci saying that Cuomo putting sick people back into the retirement homes was the "gold standard" of how to deal with this disease. His throat was an open sepulchre.

10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.

Amen Lord. Destroy thou them. Let their counsel be exposed to the world. Let their emails and communications be discovered, shine a light on them, that they may be seen for the evil wickedness they have done. Cast them out of office, for all authority comes from You and they have rebelled against You.

11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

Amen, Lord let those that trust in you rejoice. Let us shout for joy because You defend us! Let us love Your name and be joyful in You, our savior.

12 For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

There is a flood of news

The two biggest stories I have seen so far

1. Elizabeth Warren is accused of having operated the autopen on behalf of Joe Biden during his presidency. She was asked how she could say that Joe was sharp as a tack last July. She corrected that saying what she said is that she has not seen any decline! If Joe Biden died shortly after the election that statement would still be true. How deceitful these people are. Either Elizabeth Warren is a brazen liar or else she may have been the one acting as president for the entire four year term of Joe Biden. Either way we are talking about treason.

2. Meanwhile this hearing on the hill about Covid19 vaccine is the dam bursting. Lawyers start your engines, let the lawsuits begin.

This relates to the latest prophetic speakings of Vicki Goforth Parnell.

Psalm 18:1 I will love thee, O Lord, my strength. 2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. 3 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.



4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. 5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. 6 In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. 7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. 8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. 9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet. 10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.



11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. 12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire. 13 The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire. 14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.



15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. 16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. 17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.



18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay. 19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me. 20 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. 21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God. 22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me. 23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.



24 Therefore hath the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight. 25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright; 26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward. 27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks. 28 For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.



29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall. 30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. 31 For who is God save the Lord? or who is a rock save our God? 32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. 33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places. 34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. 35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great. 36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.



37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed. 38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet. 39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. 40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.



41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the Lord, but he answered them not. 42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets. 43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me. 44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me. 45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.



46 The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. 47 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me. 48 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man. 49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name. 50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

In the Twinkling of an eye

Paul's ministry is to complete the word of God (Colossians 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;) Therefore I expect this concept to be in the Old Testament.

Psalm 73:19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.

We are raptured, rescued, snatched out of the way of certain harm in the blink of an eye. So the flip side of that is that sudden destruction comes in the blink of an eye.

Proverbs 10:10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.


To wink with the eyes is different from blinking, but similar. It is a signature move of the Freemasons and satanists. With what measure you measure it will be measured to you. They winked with the eye and caused sorrow, well in the blink of an eye destruction will come to them.

1Corinthians 15:52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

Now compare this with this verse in Ezekiel

Eze 1:14 And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.

The angels move at the flash of lightning, and these will be the ones who rapture the saints.

Lam 4:6 For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her.

Once again the overthrow at the time of rapture is in a moment, a flash, a blink of the eye.

Jer 4:20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.

At the exact same time as the rapture we have destruction.

Isa 47:9 But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.



Job 34:20 In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.



Num 16:21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.



Exo 33:5 For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.

Haggai 2, Proverbs 7:20, and Second Passover


I think what we need to understand is that there will be many different calendars all operating at the same time because there are many different people. For those raptured it is one day, for those left behind it is a different day, for the world it is yet a different day. 2nd Passover aligns with those who are given a second chance and it aligns with "as the days of Noah" where the world is destroyed. But to the Jewish leaders who are being rebuked it can also align with Shavuot because the rapture will tell everyone who has God's covenant and who doesn't.

I Saw The Great DECEPTION ARRIVE! They All Fell For it #rapture #jesus #endtimes #tribulation

I think many people are giving too much credit to the idea that people will see the rapture and that will cause them to get saved. I suspect unless they have already heard the gospel and that seed has already been planted they won't. Think about the guards watching Jesus tomb, think about the lie that was spread that his disciples came in the night and stole the body. That would make perfect sense to anyone who had not already received the gospel.

When we go through this forum on many of the threads we can see that videos that had been shared to prove one point or another have been taken down. There is a systematic censorship going on. So if you had not followed these issues on a daily basis, if a few years later you want to now study it and examine the evidence you can't. It is gone. In the same way I suspect shortly after the rapture the entire internet will be under the complete control of this Antichrist system with all the content they want removed gone.

Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?

Psalm 24:1 The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place?

4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

5 He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

10 Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

This is why we need to pay attention to prophetic fulfillment in the news

John 7:41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? 42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? 43 So there was a division among the people because of him.

At the time of Jesus' birth when the Magi came it said "all of Jerusalem was troubled". So then it was a news story that people should have paid attention to and remembered. Then when they killed the babies that also was a news story that people should have remembered and connected to the story of the Magi.

If your treasure is on earth you are going to be cleaned out.

Matthew 12:39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.

This verse has always bothered me, does he know? Did he stop him?

But let's consider what Jesus is actually saying, it is a scary thing for the thief. He is sneaking into a house at night, if the owner knows he is coming he could shoot him dead as he enters the house. The thief is in a precarious place if he loses the element of surprise.

Now consider what we have been seeing, a pandemic that was made in a bioweapons lab. Every single nation joined hands to experiment with a variety of ways to keep the populace under control when in reality the virus was not all that deadly. They exaggerated greatly the risk while also downplaying the things you could do like HCQ, Vitamin D, Ivermectin, etc.

Second the vaccine mandate, does it set the stage for people to die from heart attacks?

The stimulus money, they knew it would cause inflation. Was that actually the plan?

Then look at this war between Russia and Ukraine, over three years, what has been accomplished other than killing a whole bunch of men?

Suppose that the elites which are 0.1% of the world, that is like 8 million people, they know all kinds of things are coming, how do they keep their positions as rulers of the world. Perhaps they feel they can manage 800 million people, but not 8 billion.

My point is look at this verse from the point of view of the thief. Can he possibly pull this off without the Lord knowing? No. If the Lord knows won't he tell His faithful servants and won't they be shouting it from the housetop? Yes, of course. He can shadow ban them, he can flood the airwaves with bogus stories so no one knows what to believe, he can use AI and deep fakes, he can keep people working so hard with two jobs they don't have time to consider what is going on, that is my point. The Lord's army is like millions of army ants, and the elites are doing everything in their power to reduce the risk.

All I am saying is perhaps the people who are in charge are not stupid, they are not bumbling fools, that everything that has happened is exactly what they wanted to happen. Perhaps all the confusion is part of their plan. Maybe all the people who have died is part of the plan.

For example for my whole life when people were telling you about how long until we would have this or that thing it always took longer, much longer than they predicted. But now all of a sudden with AI it is exactly the opposite, today in 2025 we are ahead of where they predicted we would be in 2030, and they made that prediction only two years ago. Others have noted this too that every single prediction concerning AI has been off, saying it would take much longer to get to some point than it actually took. Imagine I tell you that it will be ten years before we have an issue with AI taking jobs but in reality it is going to be two years. You can consider this is an issue to watch, but it isn't urgent, then a year later you wake up and realize this is urgent! The thief is coming to rob you, and they are going to take your job. But they want to come in the night when you are sleeping. Don't worry about it, you have years before this will be an issue when in reality you only have a few days. For example, Elon Musk is testing out self driving Teslas in Austin Texas as Taxis this June. You might think that it will take years before it takes all the taxi jobs but that would be a mistake. Testlas have already been in use throughout the entire US mapping the streets. They can already navigate every major city. Then Elon said once the cities pass laws people who have Teslas can rent them out as taxis when they aren't using them. Imagine you are home from work and meanwhile your Tesla is out working as a taxi for ten hours. Perhaps you make $200 a night. You only need $600 a month to pay the note on your car. In other words, at the snap of a finger we could go from a few taxis in Austin Texas to every Tesla in the country working as a self driving taxi.

What can we do to prevent our house from being broken into? The only house I can see that is safe is God's house. The only way we can keep ourselves from being robbed is if our treasure is in heaven. If your treasure is on earth you are going to be cleaned out.
