A Deceitful Balance and the Judgement of Nations

When the judgement of men fails, consistently and persistently, to maintain justice, inevitably the Ever Living God will have no choice but to step in and change the situation, overturning the wicked judges and evil courts but, in so doing, should the whole nation be operating under unjust laws then ineluctably will the whole nation also be overthrown.

 

A particular preacher on YouTube has made a video regarding a word he claims the Lord has given him but, I believe, his initial interpretation is incorrect.  The word given involves a balance scale and something to the effect of America's unjust balances.  His initial interpretation was that it was generally about wrong judgement by people and the media about numerous issues but I do not think it is so general.  Rather, I believe it to be much more specific.  I will not name him, for I do not believe his intent is anything other than doing God's will, regardless of whether he has correctly understood it or not.  It is not for me to correct him if and where he goes wrong, it is for the Lord to do so. 

 

The balance scale is about justice but not merely justice in any everyday situation.  A balance explicitly refers to justice as executed in a court of law, since the balance is a tool used to resolve (or prevent) disputes over weights and measures, so, too, the court of law is the tool used to resolve disputes regarding the law.  An unjust balance (that is, a deceitful balance), then, specifically refers to an unjust (deceitful) court of the law.  Such corruption can arise either through corruption of the judge or other court officials and/or the enforcement of corrupt law instituted through corrupt government officials.  I think we are seeing both on an enormous scale in every western, purportedly Christian (but clearly now apostate), nation.  Our laws now resemble biblical principles about as much as a crooked carrot resembles the planet Saturn.

 

Balance scales do not refer to the opinions of the mass media or of the people in general or politicians or anything at all outside of the courts but refer explicitly to the law courts of the justice system, which are supposed to act completely independently of outside influence or money or power or the personal opinions of the officials but, obviously, do not.  Were we to place Saturn and a bent carrot on one such current day balance they would probably be deemed equal.  After all, the wicked, from their God-hating, anti-christian dogma, claim that mankind is not more than a worm, even less, even a virus.  How can such thinking, rooted in the lie of "dimwitian" evolution, ever hope to maintain a just court system when it refuses to distinguish correctly even those things which are clearly and unambiguously obvious to all and sundry?  Well, it can't!

 

They put bitter for sweet, darkness for light, wrong for right, evil for good.  They destroy the distinction between man and woman and exemplify the irrelevant distinctions between people of differing skin colour, favouring one over the other, while screaming at the righteous with accusations of racism.  They allow and even encourage "marital" unions between two or more men or women, and now even between humans and their pets, saying nonsensical things like "love is love".  Well, yes, that is true, and indeed it is a pointless and obvious type of tautology, but what they do has no relation to love and is about as close to love as freshly deposited fecal matter is to a polished ruby.  Satan's way is to destroy all distinctions because it is only by the underlying information upon which created things have their distinguishing form that makes them distinct from one another.  Without that, there is nothing, so in destroying distinctions, Satan succeeds in destroying God's creation.  Without differing form arising from differing specific information (what an engineer such as myself would call a specification) everything is nothing more than random energy.  A tree, for example, is mostly carbon, but so is a piece of plastic.  Are we to say that they are equal?  Further, both are conglomerations of protons, neutrons, electrons and other assorted subatomic components, and even those can be reduced, so, materially they are the same.  But are they the same in reality?  Clearly their distinct form is not inherent in the substance from which they are made but comes from the specific arrangements of their constituent elementary parts, arrangements superimposed on those elementary components, arrangements which we describe using specific information, or specification, which arises in no place in nature but comes only from a mind.  Such an obvious fact should be enough to extinguish any stupid ideas about reality that stem from the beliefs of materialists but, clearly, they persist in their perverse beliefs.  This is obviously not because they really believe those things to which they adhere but because they find belief in the true Creator completely unacceptable.  After all, to do so would require they change their ways and give up the sins they so love to do.  Thus did the Lord send them strong delusion for they so choose to believe a lie and hate righteousness and truth.

 

Interesting how this all comes back to that same old strong delusion, the delusion sent and permitted by God for those who have refused to receive a love of the truth (which they did not receive not because it was not offered, as some people posit, but because they refused and rejected it), that strong delusion of the willful belief in a lie which in its modern incarnation is called Darwinian evolution, though it has existed long before Darwin was born, having its roots in ancient pagan beliefs and superstitions. 

 

Shall the Lord, the Ever Living God, not now judge the nations?  I think it not far off.

 

 

Symptom of the Times

Happened across this on the web... a comparison of Gollum and the Turkish President, Erdogan.  Honestly, I am not sure which is which. 😆

 

The man responsible for this has been jailed... because a "world leader" has the spine of a jellyfish and skin thinner than air.  What a pathetic "leader", not fit for a job in waste collection.

It is symptomatic of the era we live in that so many, from the lowest, most worthless, government-dependent parasitic wastrels, always screaming about racism and climate change and with all the capacity of a burnt peanut for independent thought, to those in high office who are so lacking in character and strength that they cannot tolerate the tiniest discomfort that may cause self-reflection, typically the characteristics of infants, are the loudest and hold places of power and influence, a complete inversion of the correct order of things.  This inversion is everywhere; calling good evil and evil, good; putting light for darkness and darkness for light, bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter... just as the ancient prophet warned.

Still, we must remember that even the wicked must have their day so that, just as the righteous fill up their full measure of righteous deeds, so, too, the wicked will fill up their full measure of wicked deeds, their cups overflowing with sin, so that on the day of judgement they will have no recourse and no escape from the fate they willingly chose of their own free will... eternal death.

I guess there is still a faint, fading hope that the likes of Recep Erdogan and his ilk can yet repent back toward the only true Ever Living God but,  honestly, that hope is nothing more now than a distant, flickering candle about to be inundated by a storm, the final storm.

The Fury of the Condemned

The devil is in a furious rage, he has only a few years left before he is locked up for a thousand years after which he comes out in one last fit of fury and is then cast into unquenchable fire.  His children, the children of the lie, being all of the spirit of Satan, are expressing the devil's hatred toward humanity, an infernal hatred for the image of God, born of envy and pride.  The unquenchable fires of Gehenna are licking at their heels.  Although humanity is a severely corrupted image of God, it is still His image and He intends to correct it permanently, He will not tolerate this corrupted form forever.

Rev 12:12 KJV  Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

The devil's time has been short since he was cast out of the realm of high authority but he still exerts authority over the unrepentant children of perdition and his time is now almost over, so his anger and rage and hatred toward humanity is through the roof.  He is acting out but his inevitable end ineluctably approaches and, just as no man can stop the stars in their paths, the devil cannot stop the eternal clock.  His time is just about up.  God rules eternity and everything in-between.

So, why does the Ever Living allow this insanity to continue, seemingly unabated?  In order that the wicked are fully condemned, they will be condemned by their own words.  They must fill up the full measure of sin and, thus, be forever sentenced, never to return.  There must be left absolutely no possibility of any hope of escape, no possible alibi, no possible excuse available to them, when they stand before the great seat of judgement, that could cast the slightest, even infinitesimal, doubt upon God's righteous judgement and upon the complete condemnation of their thoroughly wicked and utterly and completely evil souls.  They will have not even a skerrick of the image of God remaining, nothing at all left worth saving.

In order to bring this about at the appointed time of the end, the Lord, the Ever Living God, takes the one who restrains out of the way, releasing from their long standing stations the powerful angels who hold back the four winds.  Once they are freed, these angels of destruction, exemplified by the four winds, are sent forth to bring calamities upon the earth.  Each type of calamity represented is mentioned in the outcome of the release of the four horsemen; death by war, by famine, by plague and by the beasts of the earth, just as the Lord had described to Isaiah would happen to Israel for their relentless rebellion against God.  These are the four winds, that is, four spirits, of destruction held back until the right time for their release.  This is the tribulation.

At the same time The Ever Living pours out upon His elect His Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth and of prophecy.  These two actions, taking out of the way the one who restrains and the great outpouring of the Holy Spirit, work together as the latter rains before a great harvest, to bring both the darnell and the wheat to full maturity so that the harvesting angels, who go out ahead of the Lord on His return, gather the darnell in bundles to be burned (the third and final woe and the reason the nations mourn) and never mistake wheat for darnell.  This is in precise accordance with the words of the Lord, Yeshua.  Upon His return, as stated in Revelation, the kingdom of the world has become His kingdom, so all that is filthy and sinful is removed out of it and His elect will then shine in the Kingdom of their Father.  Immediately after that is the wedding feast in Israel, which is the gathering of the wheat into His barn and, simultaneously, the seven plagues in the valley of Yehoshephat, the valley of judgement, where the "bundles of darnell to be burned" are stored up for destruction.

Do not be like the many foolish virgins who, even now, think they will escape in the early hours of the night, the great darkness, before the darkest hour which, by definition, is midnight, and they are unprepared for the long, dark night ahead, but be like the wise virgins who knew ahead of time that they would have to wait right through to beyond midnight, the darkest hour, before their Lord would return and gather them into the wedding feast.  These are the ones who, in the midst of global persecution and calamity, will walk between the waters on dry ground, that is, through the nations untouched by the enemy, as the witnesses raise their staffs and part the waters making a way for the faithful, which is to part the unrepentant nations, protecting the righteous in Christ, and then bring calamity upon the world for their stubborn refusal to repent and acknowledge God.

I have spoken before, in years gone by, about the foolishness of the "rapture" belief and I have shown extensively, with multiple absolutely clear scriptural references, that it is completely contrary to the teachings of the Lord (though I will not republish them now, for that time is past, and had you followed my blog then you would already know) but, even now, millions of foolish virgins abound, cowering before the fury of the wicked and hoping to escape soon.  Do not be like them.  Just as Noah did not at all escape the great flood but went right through the midst of it protected by the ark, a symbol of God's promise, pray that, by the ark of the covenant that is implanted in your heart, the Holy Spirit of God that is His mark upon your soul, God will protect you through these last tumultuous days and years and that you will hold to your faith even unto the end, even death.  For such there awaits the crown of eternal life in the never-ending kingdom of the eternal Ever Living God.

Another Old Post Coming To Pass

I have republished two old posts dating back to May, 2017, and September, 2015, regarding the Great Eagle, entitled, "Goodby, Great Eagle" and "The Broken Eagle" (click the links or see below).  When I first wrote them, after some incidents working prophetically over previous years regarding the destruction of the eagle, I did not perceive how they would come about but, now, it is clear for all to see.

Therefore, as with any other old posts which I have archived and republished, I have done likewise with these, not altering anything but keeping them as they were written.  I hope that this helps your faith in God to know that He knows all that is happening, all that has happened and all that is about to transpire, for ever and forever and ever.  Despite our failings, He does love us, but do we love Him?

We have but a short time left.

The Calm is Coming to an End

I have re-published on old post, dated 2017-04-17 and entitled, "There is a Calm Before the Storm."  You can see it at the bottom of this blog.  I kept all my old posts on the blog server and simply placed them into draft status, just in case I would find a reason to bring them out in the future.  You never know when you will want to do that.

The post speaks of that dream in which the Lord visited me in 2011 but I did not indicate that fact in 2017 because, at that time, I decided not to publish any such personal things.  However, regarding this one, I have changed my mind, thus speaking about it more directly in recent posts.  Interestingly, another point I had not mentioned was the secular date of that dream, the early morning of the 22nd of April, 2011 (those numbers again?  Go figure!)

Not all details are shown in that old 2017 blog post but significant details, perhaps the primary details, are referred to.  I thought that, maybe, anybody reading my posts may wish to know a little more.  As long as it helps to strengthen and encourage the true believers, the children of God, then I will bring out some hidden treasures, both new and old, once in a while. 

Keep sage, sane, sound and saved and make your heartfelt prayers known to the Ever Living God.  Remember, He is in control no matter how crazy things appear to be.  All is being done to bring the crop of humanity to complete maturity before the harvesters come and remove the wicked from among the righteous on that great and terrible day.

Did the Spirit of God Speak?

Sometimes I write things in this blog or in my personal notes that, unknown to me at the time of writing, are prophetic.  The Spirit of God sometimes moves a person to speak or write and he does not always know the source of that information.  Maybe the prophets of old experienced that quite often.  Perhaps this was another such event.

According to certain medical sources (noted in a video I have linked below), the first known case of COVID-19 infection was believed to have occurred on the 1st of December, 2019.  That is the same date that I posted the addendum at the end of the blog post, entitled, "Monstrous Evil", the post itself dated the 21st of November, 2019.  At the bottom of the post you can see the following... 

Addendum 2019-12-01.

The world needs a war.  Yes, you read that correctly and, as much as I loathe war, the world is now at a point where the only thing that can help western civilisation to survive is war.... [etc].

Then, as mentioned in an earlier post, entitled, "The Great Storm Now Barely Begins" (dated the 10th of April, 2020), the Ever Living God spoke to me, around early to mid March, saying, "Now it begins."  As noted in that post, I did not at first understand the meaning of what He said but now I believe I have some idea.  I did not write down a record of what He said at the time He said it (which is something I do only sometimes, especially if He tells me to), but I clearly recall the event because it struck me with great anxiety at first.

Although fighting a viral outbreak is often compared to war, I have little doubt, at this point, that the "fallout" of this pandemic, this viral war, will be a war fought with more "conventional" though extremely deadly and destructive weapons, perhaps the final great war.  That is why I used the word, "Barely", in the title of that post on the 10th of April.  I believe this is the event which just gets the ball rolling for the last time.

Furthermore, I believe that 2022 will be the year to begin the time of reckoning, the beginning of the time of Jacob's trouble, the beginning of the great catastrophes, no longer the pangs but the real pain and, perhaps, the first appearances of the two witnesses in the public sphere (maybe at that time or soon thereafter), although their official final ministry may begin at a later date.

If Pastor of the "Hope of the World" ministry, Jonathan Cahn, in Lodi, New Jersey, USA, was correct about the last Jewish calendar sabbatical (i.e. "shmitah") year beginning during September of 2014 then the next such year, which is the 7th year when the land is meant to rest, begins on the 7th of September, 2021, but ends (ending the 7 year cycle) on the 26th of September, 2022, which is the end of the Jewish calendar date of Elul 29, 5782 (at sunset) and the beginning of the following Jewish calendar date of Tishrei 1, 5783, beginning the new Jewish year at sunset.  That date is, by our secular calendar, 22-09-26 (year-month-date).  Note those numbers; 22, is associated with the two witnesses (among other things) and 26 is the gematria of YHVH, the tetragrammaton.  The appearance of 11 has also been prominent and it is associated with chaos and the two witnesses but if it refers to a month then perhaps November of 2022 is a time to keep in mind.  Although these are secular dates I believe that God works all things for the benefit of those willing to see His hand in action, those who love Him.  He made it clear that the current pope Francis is an evil man through a prophecy given to St Francis centuries ago, by the fact that the current pope took the name of the very man who prophesied the coming of a false pastor of the Catholic Church.  For those willing to see and accept it, God makes things pretty obvious sometimes.  For the past (more than a) year the Lord has been bombarding me with those numbers mentioned above, but I simply never understood why.  I made lots of conjectures about it in my own notes but lacked solid evidence for many of those ideas.  Perhaps I now have the answer.  At this point, I believe that the date, the 26th of September, 2022, marks the beginning of the final seven years until the day of the Lord.  I may be wrong on that but, for now, I will go with it.

It is true that we cannot know the precise day or hour of His appearing but we can know the season.  It is also clear to me that, as the time draws near, our ability to narrow the range of possibilities will improve until that day finally comes.  It would seem apropos, to me anyway, that He should return almost (if not) precisely 2000 years, which is 40 Jubilees, after His death on the cross and subsequent resurrection.  There is much disagreement about exactly when that occurred, some saying year 30, some year 29, a few claiming other dates, and perhaps that is the source of our inability to know the precise time of His return.  Maybe God set it up that way from the beginning.  Another possibility is that the final seven years has already begun and in 2022 we will be half way through it.  That seems less likely to me but it may be something to be mindful of. 

Here is a link to a 55 minute video outlining significant issues and inconsistencies and, frankly, outright lies that have been peddled by the mainstream media and politicians and other completely untrustworthy groups (as usual, connected with the UN) regarding the pandemic we know as COVID-19.  It is well worth viewing.

"The first documentary movie on CCP virus, Tracking Down the Origin of the Wuhan Coronavirus"   (NTD)

Also, here is an 11 minute video regarding this same issue on a channel I like a lot, run by a woman who keeps her identity secret (for good reasons) but is one of the best investigative citizen journalists I have ever encountered.

"Made in China"  (The Truth Factory)

Anyway, hope you got something out of my post and hope you find valuable information in the videos linked above.

Note that although I indicated that fighting a viral pandemic is akin to a type of war, the Chinese Communist Party has itself clearly stated that they consider themselves to actually be at war, in particular with the USA but also, essentially, with all western nations.

The war has, indeed, begun.

Observe the Numbers - Part 3 - Following up the follow-up

Now looking at the figures, it looks like the global pandemic death rate (daily deaths) is surging again.  I guess my initial guess was not on the money, after all, and I spoke too soon.  I wonder if it is related to a broader pattern?  Will have to wait and see.

I'll do some more digging and see if there is some way of getting a handle on this.

__________________________

Addendum 2020-04-18:

Actually, I suspect that the sudden jump in numbers of deaths is mostly (if not entirely) a result of recent revelations out of China where admission to a much higher mortality rate has been made (and is anybody surprised by that?... of course not!)  Most of those deaths would have been prior to the past week, perhaps even before March, and I suspect the numbers are yet a lot higher than has been admitted to so far, so this would severely skew the information, since all such reporting of past deaths, being that nothing is known about precisely when they occurred, are likely to be piled onto the data all at the same time, when they were finally reported and not when they occurred.

The result is that we may never know the true daily rate of deaths from this plague.  Lying governments and the criminal globalist enterprise we call "the U.N. and the W.H.O.", obstruct, skew, obfuscate and falsify data in every area into which they gain a foothold.  It is merely the way of the spirit we call, satan, the great liar and the father of lies.  After all, as pointed out in a much older blog post, the UN is the image of the beast referred to in the Book of the Revelation to John and, therefore, a type of "government" operating under the control of satan.  Remember that it is the dragon (a reference to the eternally lost, fallen one) who gives his power to the beasts and the image of the beast, that is, to their statesmen and representatives.  And what is his power?  It is the power to deceive.

I suspect that we will never see a full rollback of the rapidly growing totalitarian police state conditions now prevalent in western nations, even if the plague is completely eliminated.  That is the nature of the oppressive, controlling, evil spirit, that which we call, satan.

 

Observe the Numbers - Part 2 - Follow-up

It would seem that my post, "Observe the Numbers" (2020-03-29) was pretty much "on the money".  Note the global COVID-19 fatality rate graph (daily deaths) on this page...

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/worldwide-graphs/

(Scroll down for the graph, "Daily Deaths", which is the death rate, a little over half way down the page.)

You will see it peak at around April 7th and roughly level off until around the 9th, then go into a rapid decline.  Although the bars on the graph are a bit "bumpy", a smooth fitted curve would indeed show the peak around the 7th to the 8th.

Although I did say I would comment on this, right now I have little time to do so and will have to defer my post on this issue for another day.

Bread and Circuses

The expression, "bread and circuses", is, according to various sources, attributed to the Roman poet, Juvenal.  It speaks of the appeasement of the populace in an attempt to satisfy their base lusts for entertainment and filling the belly in order to distract them from the real problems resulting from a collapsing empire.

It has long been apparent to me that we live in the age of "bread and circuses".  For almost my entire 54 years of life to date, westerners have been obsessed with entertainment, mostly sports (circuses, games) and later, food (bread) with a plethora of televised cooking shows over the past three decades.  This is a clear signal of a collapsing empire, just as happened with Rome, and given that we really do still live in Rome, being a latter days version of it (consider how all of our governments and public institutions are closely related to the structures of ancient Rome), then it is not a stretch to recognise that the modern obsession with bread and circuses is an indicator of how close we are to the end.

However, what has really struck me is a popular television series, called, "Master Chef", which has risen to enormous popularity since its beginning a number of years ago.  This program, in its modern incarnation, began in Australia as a remake of a similar program that originated in Britain decades earlier.  The modern incarnation, however, has reached epidemic popularity around the world with now more than sixty countries airing their own versions of the program.

What really stands out, to me, anyway, is that this is a show which combines both bread and circuses and, given its huge global popularity, I cannot help but laugh out loud at how incredibly clear such a sign of the impending end can be and yet pass so many by unnoticed in the context of history, its apparent importance being about the show itself and its contestants rather than what it really indicates.  Such great importance has been placed on this program for all the wrong reasons.

Anyway, I thought that I would mention that in passing.

The Great Storm Just Barely Begins

I have been thinking about the Lord's visitation to me in 2011, when He came to me in a dream on the day of the anniversary of His resurrection (by the Jewish religious calendar, not the secular calendar).  We stood on a beach, something like a small, hidden cove, and the ocean was to the west, the land to the east and, looking north, there appeared a great long, dark cloud low on the distant north horizon, from as far as the eye could see from east to west.  The Lord, with His right hand, grasped my left shoulder and, with His outstretched left arm, He pointed north, saying, "Look, a huge storm is coming."  Recently, about a month ago, in the Spirit He said to me, "Now it begins."  At that moment I did not know or understand what He meant but, now, I think He was referring back to that "storm" He pointed out all those years ago.

This morning, when I finished my morning prayer, the Lord said to me, absolutely clearly, "Read Isaiah 51."  So I did...

Isa 51:1-23 ASV  Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek Jehovah: look unto the rock whence ye were hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye were digged.  (2)  Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.  (3)  For Jehovah hath comforted Zion; he hath comforted all her waste places, and hath made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Jehovah; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.  (4)  Attend unto me, O my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall go forth from me, and I will establish my justice for a light of the peoples.  (5)  My righteousness is near, my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the peoples; the isles shall wait for me, and on mine arm shall they trust.  (6)  Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment; and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.  (7)  Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye dismayed at their revilings.  (8)  For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation unto all generations.  (9)  Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Is it not thou that didst cut Rahab in pieces, that didst pierce the monster?  (10)  Is it not thou that driedst up the sea, the waters of the great deep; that madest the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?  (11)  And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.  (12)  I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou art afraid of man that shall die, and of the son of man that shall be made as grass;  (13)  and hast forgotten Jehovah thy Maker, that stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fearest continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he maketh ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?  (14)  The captive exile shall speedily be loosed; and he shall not die and go down into the pit, neither shall his bread fail.  (15)  For I am Jehovah thy God, who stirreth up the sea, so that the waves thereof roar: Jehovah of hosts is his name.  (16)  And I have put my words in thy mouth, and have covered thee in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.  (17)  Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, that hast drunk at the hand of Jehovah the cup of his wrath; thou hast drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.  (18)  There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand among all the sons that she hath brought up.  (19)  These two things are befallen thee, who shall bemoan thee? desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword; how shall I comfort thee?  (20)  Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net; they are full of the wrath of Jehovah, the rebuke of thy God.  (21)  Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:  (22)  Thus saith thy Lord Jehovah, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath; thou shalt no more drink it again:  (23)  and I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee, that have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over; and thou hast laid thy back as the ground, and as the street, to them that go over.

I would recommend you look up words in Strong's concordance, words, among others, such as Rahab (H7293) - "From H7292, bluster (blusterer): - proud, strength.", wherever you do not have an absolutely clear understanding of the meaning of a word or verse in the context of the chapter and recognise its context today, remembering that Christians are Israel, also.

If you do not have a bible with Strong's numbers, you can download e-Sword, which is free bible software and, among many other features, includes copies of the bible in many versions among which is the King James version with Strong's numbers and a Strong's Concordance is also available.

Observe the Numbers

Given what I posted last time, I thought it would be interesting to observe something, not that it makes any difference to anything but my scientific background compels me to always observe and try to understand things.  My thought is that the global pandemic death rate will peak at around (roughly) the 9th of April and then flatten and decline thereafter.  It would be very telling if it does, for reasons I may mention later... if it does.  Just thought that I would mention this in passing.

Stay safe, sage, sound and saved in Christ.

Just by the way...
... watch out for a large earthquake around the 9th and up to the 13th of April.  By large, I mean one that is deadly.  Don't know whether or not this is due but watch out, anyway.

Life in Draconia

I fell asleep in Australia and awoke in Draconia.

As I sit here the prime minister of Australia is being grilled, on television, by nitpicking and foolish young "journalists" who seem intent only on tripping him up instead of offering the support a government and nation under enormous stress actually need.  I cannot express just how vile and disgusting those on the left really are, there simply are no words.

As the prime minister said, these are draconian measures that are being implemented, and he is not taking this lightly, nor is he kidding.

So, this is life under a police state, or the beginning of it, anyway.

Do not shake hands, do not stand closer than one point five metres from another person, do not congregate in public or in private, do not go out if it is not essential, do not do what you normally do, so, do nothing.  I am not angry about this, it was inevitable because of the insane policies of the left which have made the transmission of infectious diseases across the planet easier and quicker than anything in all of history.  Knowing the wickedness of the UN, however, it will be their opportunity to exert their long-sought after totalitarian global control through their bribed-by-China, morally compromised W.H.O.  I hope and pray they never get their way.

Welcome to Draconia.

Correction:  I mistakenly wrote here that it was on the 12th of January when I first published an update to a post regarding the seeming need for war but the correct date is the 1st of December, 2019, at the bottom of the post entitled, "Monstrous Evil" (that post published first on the 21st of November, 2019).  I said that this world needs a war, not because I like war (I despise it) but because the current state of morality and truth in western civilisation is at an all time low and has, as far as I can tell, leapt off the cliff and into the bottomless abyss, and a war seems to possibly be the only thing left that can shake the nations to the core and bring some level of correction back into the national psyche.  Such events have a historical precedent.

Well, I guess we have a war of sorts, though not the way I had imagined.  If these current events do not begin to bring some correction back into the social conscience of our societies, then only a truly devastating war stands a chance, but that will really be the end.  The scriptures tell us that it is coming, so, I guess this current crisis will ultimately have no impact aside from large numbers of lives lost.  I feel deep sadness, now, but know that for those in Christ the hope of the resurrection remains... and there is no true hope but that hope which is in the Lord.

Addendum 2020-03-26.

I want to be absolutely clear on something in case anybody reads into what I wrote something that I definitely did not write.  This so-called pandemic is not the wrath of God.  If it was then the devastation would have been very rapid and immeasurable and there would be nothing but hopelessness confronting the godless hordes.  The widespread outbreak of a viral infection causing socio-economic collapse of western nations is, if anything at all, merely a consequence and a warning; a warning because things will only grow worse the more we ignore God and consequential because it is the result of mankind turning his back on God for far too long, the eventuality being that God is withdrawing His protection from the consequences of our sins.  This type of thing is clearly described in the Book of the Revelation to John where it speaks of the one who restrains being taken out of the way.  Anybody who has read the posts I wrote a couple of years ago, regarding the false ideas about a rapture, knows precisely what I mean.  In any case, if these events are the beginning of that final withdrawal of God's protection then we are truly in the time of the end, but only time will really tell.  Whatever time it may be in prophetic history, it is wise to be prepared as if we had already entered into the final years of mankind's self-rule.  Personally I believe that they are but, again, time will tell.

However, here is something interesting... listen to this video from 31:48 ...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oryu8QIcQrU 
(Pastor Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries).

Pastor Biltz points out that in the very first passover the Israelites were couped up in their houses while the destroying angel passed through Egypt killing all the firstborn but passed over the Israelites.  So, what do we see happening right now as passover approaches us in two weeks time?  People are couped up as a destroyer goes about the earth (perhaps as a sign that signifies more than just our moral failures), so this coming passover the Jews will be couped up indoors, just as it was during the first passover roughly 3500 years ago.  Not only will physical Israel be couped up indoors but, likewise, the extended family of spiritual Israel, which are the true Christians.

I recommend you watch the entire video since Pastor Biltz always has significant insights.  I do not necessarily agree with all that he says but one does not have to be in perfect agreement to learn and discover things others may offer some, even partial, insight into.
