The Mark of the Beast is NOT Sunday Worship

It appears necessary to refine an issue regarding the nature of the mark of the beast.  Specifically, the Seventh Day Adventist Church (SDAC) claims that the "mark" of the beast is Sunday worship.  This is a result of their fixation with an old view that the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) is the whore of Babylon and because the RCC removed one of the ten commandments, regarding the command not to make an image of any idol, and split the final commandment, regarding coveting that which belongs to another, into two commandments in order to make up the ten.  This, they say, constitutes the changing of times (Sunday worship instead of traditional Saturday - Sabbath) and laws (altering the commandments) as mentioned would occur in the book of Daniel, chapter 7.

In Revelation 13 we read:

Rev 13:16-17  And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:  (17)  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

The Strong's concordance entries for the word, "mark", and associated root or source words are as follows:

G5480 χάραγμα    charagma    khar'-ag-mah

From the same as G5482; a scratch or etching, that is, stamp (as a badge of servitude), or sculptured figure (statue): - graven, mark.

G5482 χάραξ charax khar'-ax

From charasso (to sharpen to a point; akin to G1125 through the idea of scratching); a stake, that is, (by implication) a palisade or rampart (millitary mound for circumvallation in a siege): - trench.

G1125 γράφω graphō graf'-o

A primary verb; to grave, especially to write; figuratively to describe: - describe, write (-ing, -ten).

It is very clear from the meaning of the word used that an indelible mark, as in one that is written or engraved or stamped, is being referred to.  This is why it is "received".  The act of Sunday worship does not fit such a description, whether literally or figuratively, since Sunday worship is not something one receives but is something one does, and it is not a mark that can be received in oneself, whether literally on the skin of the right hand or forehead, nor can it be a figurative description of choosing to worship on Sundays, for the act of Sunday worship is not a thing received but an action taken.  The claim that it is the "thought" of it that is a mark in the forehead or the act of working on the true Sabbath that is the mark in the right hand is stretching any idea of metaphor well beyond the ridiculous.  As evidence and a reason for eternal condemnation, which the mark will be, it must not be possible to change, it must be evident at all times and not only when it is convenient or on certain days of the week.  A person worshiping on Sunday who wishes not to do so may be under duress, oppressed by a government.  How would that stack up in court?  Well, it wouldn't, so it provides no ground for an accuser in the great court of God Almighty.  Everything done by the Lord is absolutely free of any, even the slightest, incertitude, and is absolutely legally perfect meeting every requirement of all the true law, for He will never condemn any person except that his own conscience has already condemned him clearly and unambiguously.  Thus has God warned us, that by our own words we are justified and by our own words we are condemned and that we will be judged by our own measures of others for such measures are expressed by our words, words of accusation and condemnation.  Do not judge, whether in word or thought or deed, and you will not be judged.  That is tough and we will all be found to be hypocrites, yet God affords every soul a right to his own defence.  Ours is Christ.

Finally, how can anybody refuse to trade with a person who chooses not to worship on a Sunday?  How can such a bizarre idea be enforced?  How can anybody prove that you worship God on a Saturday and since when was it a requirement to worship God specifically on the day of rest, the Sabbath?  Doesn't a true believer continually worship God from the heart, in spirit and in truth, all the time?  Alternatively, could that person not be an atheist?  What if he is a pagan and worships the earth on "earth day" only once a year but does not take part in any other worship?  Doesn't the global false religion include all deities in one giant hodge-podge pantheon, with pagan idols, such as Gaia, being the chief gods of that pantheon?  Isn't that what the ecumenical movement merging with environmentalism is all about?  Surely atheists must also be accommodated in such a scheme!

No, Sunday worship is not the "mark of the beast", and the SDAC, just like every other so-called "Christian" church, has gone astray.  Many years ago, the Lord led me through various denominations, including the SDAC.  Personally, I was born to Catholic parents, not strict Catholics but Catholics nonetheless.  I have spent a little time in a few other denominations, also, and wondered why it was that I found no home among any of them.  Certainly I found true believers as well as many who pay lip service but I found no home.  The words of the Lord came back to me one day years after I quit searching; "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head."  Likewise, I think, it is also true for those who really have placed their trust in the Lord and do not look to mankind and this world for their home.  After all, we are merely sojourners in this corrupt and dying world.  Our eternal home is yet to come.

In considering why the SDAC makes such a claim, I wander off-topic here but I do so in order that a more complete picture of things becomes apparent, since all these issues are related to these final days and seeing how things connect helps us to perceive where we are in terms of God's plan.  Of course, this is only what I currently believe so take it all with a pinch of salt.

The SDAC, much like every other denomination, whether protestant or otherwise, has made the same old mistake of concluding that it was the true vessel of God's word.  The Lord reveals a thing, simply a single aspect, to a person or group of people, and they, having found this revelation to be true (with the SDAC it was the revelation that Friday sunset through to Saturday sunset was still the true Sabbath), they conclude that they are somehow special and above others, somehow closer to God, and hearing from Him correctly where others are not.  Man (not God) then, in his pride, creates a "church" on this basis and it becomes infused with the ways and traditions of men instead of revelation from God through His Spirit.  Any little thing the "chief prophet" has to say becomes sacrosanct and unquestionable.  In the RCC, the pope is the chief example of this, wherein the RCC claim is that the pope is infallible.  It is so ridiculous and laughable that it would be a bad joke except that so many deceive themselves into accepting it as truth.  Again, it is the problem of the "traditions of men".  Each denomination has some basis, some revelation, given to it that it has used as its claim to a monopoly of "the truth".  Consequently, none of them are the true Christian Church, the true Body of Christ, and it is the reason that they all differ on so many points.  They cannot all be correct.  Bear in mind that every single one of them can be traced back to the RCC at some point in the past, whether directly or indirectly, which is the reason they are all converging again, since the (spiritual) conditions in the world at the return of the Lord will be very much like those at His departure, including the presence of the true Christian Church as an organised entity in the world.  The RCC was the outcome of a state-corrupted Christian Church, after the true church had already been corrupted to some extent with the introduction and tolerance of Roman pagan ideas and celebrations.  The state simply made it all "official" and the RCC was born.  The true church, a group of scattered believers, now went out into the world, the "wilderness", and every "Christian" denomination will have a handful of true believers in it, as wanderers awaiting the return of their spiritual nation, whether they see it in their lifetime or not.  Just as physical Israel was in a diaspora, its people scattered among the nations (the wilderness) and has come back into existence as an existential entity, likewise will occur for spiritual Israel, which is the true Body of Christ.  This is the mission of the final manifestation of the "Elijah to come", for in "restoring all things", which is to restore all truth to the understanding of scripture and God's plan, all actual believers will recognise the truth and come out of the false churches and unite once again as the true Christian Church, whereupon can begin the final tribulation of the saints, the final great persecution of the true followers of Yeshua the Christ, most especially by those in the false churches who reject the message of the two witnesses and prefer the worldly church in which they partake.

The seemingly "dead tree", the lost Body of Christ, will come back to life, in a real sense resurrected, and the apparently "living tree", the global religion of the end, the whore of Babylon (a whore has many lovers which equates to many gods) perhaps headed up by the RCC in concert with the UNEP, will collapse as the world is split by this great earthquake, the coming of the two witnesses, among which is the final "Elijah" to come.  A question now is whether the final manifestation of the (first) beast will be under China's CCP or under the UN/EU/USA.  Could there be a merging of all these into one totalitarian socialist superstate?  How does the beast from the abyss, the other leg of the beast out of the many waters and the brotherhood of Islamic nations, play into this?  Time will tell.  These issues will gradually become more clear as we near the end.

As always, assume much of this is speculation, but do not assume that being speculation means it is incorrect.  Speculation means, simply, unproven beyond doubt or having incomplete evidence.  That I have touched upon many things with evidence already does not prove them true but does provide an impetus to be alert to what is going on regarding all the aforementioned entities.  As the Lord said, "Watch!"

More on the Mark of the Beast

Rev 13:15-18  And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.  (16)  And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:  (17)  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.  (18)  Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

For a long time many have speculated about the meaning of the "mark of the beast".  I have touched on the topic in previous years and also more recently.  In this post, I wish to emphasise a point I made previously, that the "mark" need not be a complex device like a buried microchip or flexible circuit and, indeed, it need be nothing more than a simple identifier, a tattoo that fluoresces under a suitable light, as one possible example.

The mistake people often make when attempting to understand scripture is to "read between the lines" when there's really nothing there or, at least, nothing they think they can see.  We have a tendency to project onto unassailed mysteries our own understanding, built up from our own experiences and knowledge, which can lead to adding to the scripture that which it does not contain and missing that which it does contain.  This is a dangerous mistake to make but I see people making it all too often.  In that regard, I have also fallen into that trap on various occasions.  None of us are immune and the only immunity we can have is the understanding given to us by God through His Spirit.  Without that, we are lost in every sense of the word.

Strong's concordance on the word used at the beginning of each of those verses, the word, "And":

G2532    καί    kai    kahee

Apparently a primary particle, having a copulative and sometimes also a cumulative force; and, also, even, so, then, too, etc.; often used in connection (or composition) with other particles or small words: - and, also, both, but, even, for, if, indeed, likewise, moreover, or, so, that, then, therefore, when, yea, yet.

A cumulative force implies grouping things even if not normally connected and a copulative force implies that something does not merely add to a previous one (or to a group) but is intrinsically part of a previously noted thing.  This shows something being added to a previous item and, potentially, being an intrinsic part of the previous item, but it does not stipulate precisely the relationship between the two.  However, it is the word translated as, "that", which follows "And" in verse 17 which can make the difference in our understanding.

G2443 ἵνα   hina hin'-ah

Probably from the same as the former part of G1438 (through the demonstrative idea; compare G3588); in order that (denoting the purpose or the result): - albeit, because, to the intent (that), lest, so as, (so) that, (for) to. Compare G3363.

So, to make a long story short, there is nothing in the scripture that indicates the physical need for the mark in order to trade, but it only indicates that we will not be allowed to trade if we do not have the mark, regardless of whether that is enforced purely by lawful requirement or through a physical mechanism.

Note the words used at the beginning of verse 16 above, "And he causeth... ".  This is then added to by the words,  "And that..." at the beginning of verse 17.  Taken together we can read verses 16 and 17 as, "(16) And he causeth... (17) And (he also causeth) that...", or, "(16) And he causeth... (17) And (to also cause) that...", since the connective, "And" combined with the word, "that" (seemingly a conjunction in this case), in verse 17 is adding and conjoining (or indicating an existing union) to "things that he (the Beast) causeth", to denote either a consequence or an a-priori reason for what "he causeth", that is, an additional thing the beast causes as a product of the first thing he caused, being the intended purpose of the first cause which is the "mark."  I know that is a big mouthful but I suspect you understand the point I am making.

This shows us the purpose of forcing people to receive the mark, that nobody may buy or sell except the one with the mark.  This is made clear already in the translation of just about any version of the bible.  However, what it does not tell us is that the mark is somehow necessary for the mechanics of the transaction itself and therein is the error many have made, to assume that, without the mark, trade is not possible.  It only indicates enough to see that one is not allowed to trade except he that has the mark.  This can be merely a legally enforced requirement.  The "beast" only needs to demand that you have the mark if you are going to trade in its economic system.  One may still be able to trade in some form (such as bartering, for example, or illegally without the mark, though do not hope for these things since they are speculative) but not within the normal (legal) channels of commerce now controlled by a global superstate, the final full manifestation of "the beast".

To conclude, I can only say that it is not necessary that "the mark of the beast" be anything more complicated than a literal mark of some kind, such as a tattoo that fluoresces under infrared or ultraviolet light (making it easy to capture in an instant using modern digital image processing and suitable lighting), or perhaps some other elementary approach, but I cannot simply rule out the idea of an implanted integrated circuit of some kind, though having such a thing in the forehead seems unlikely since it would cause a visible protrusion or distortion of the surface of such a thin layer of skin over the bone.  It seems more likely to me that having an embedded electronic circuit required for the actual transaction process would simply be an option (sold easily under the guise of "convenience" and "security") to having some kind of electronic plastic card, but having the mark, as a tattoo normally invisible under ordinary light or in some other simple form, will be mandatory so that should you fail to produce that identifier then, regardless of your ability (or otherwise) to actually engage in trade, you will simply be denied the right to do so.  Such a mark can easily carry enough information to both identify the "beast" and yourself (perhaps by way of a global account number), but merely identifying the beast is itself enough to meet the criteria of the prophecy.  Although it could be, the mark need not be engaged as part of the mechanics of the actual trade.  One can see how easily this approach already fits with the goals of the Gates Foundation, the WHO and the UN.

The one thing to remember is that having "the mark of the beast" then identifies a person as the legal property of the "beast", which is easily understood if considering that a global superstate led by a satanic head will inevitably be socialist (or communist, though practically no different).  In such a system an individual is not sovereign, is without rights except those afforded it by the state (certainly, no God-given rights will be tolerated under such a regime since God would be utterly denied) and, like all other capital, is the property of the state.  Since such a state that attempts to usurp God as the highest authority will be destroyed, so, too, all its property.

The Image of the Beast

There is much hype these days about what the "image of the beast" really is.  In previous posts I have clearly outlined what that expression refers to, the UN, including supporting historicity of the UN's creation and capacity for global influence (created by, and it's "voice" given to it by the second beast, the USA).  Many, however, are obsessed with a bizarre concept of the word, "image", as being some kind of A.I.-controlled robot or cybernetic being, an "image" of the coming son of perdition often erroneously called "the beast", all a load of sci-fi-like falderal and a product of corrupt modern culture.  It is the consequence of the same old ongoing problem (which I have previously touched upon) of interpreting ancient language using modern concepts of various words outside of the scripture itself.  The scripture always provides its own interpretation if we are prepared to look and see it without preconceptions which we cling to out of pride, blinding us to what the Lord is telling us.  I want to put to rest the meaning of "image" as used in the new testament scriptures.

First of all, the word translated as "image" in some versions of the bible or "likeness" in others in the book of Matthew, chapter 22, where Yeshua was being tested by the disciples of the Pharisees with the Herodians regarding the issue of taxation, is the same Greek word as that used for "image" in Revelation, chapters 13, 14, etc.  The English representation of that word, used to help us pronounce it correctly (or as near to correct as possible), is "eikon" or "ikon".  It is Strong's concordance number G1504.

Mat 22:17-21  KJV  Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?  (18)  But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?  (19)  Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.  (20)  And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?  (21)  They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

Here are the Strong's concordance entries related to the word in question, although they are really not essential except to note that it is the same word for "image" or "likeness" used in both Matthew 22:20 and Revelation 13:14.

G1504

εἰκών eikōn i-kone'

From G1503; a likeness, that is, (literally) statue, profile, or (figuratively) representation, resemblance: - image.

G1503

εἴκω eikō i'-ko

Apparently a primary verb (perhaps akin to G1502 through the idea of faintness as a copy); to resemble: - be like.

Sometimes the argument turns to the false argument of appeal to authority, wherein a naysayer may claim that they are appealing to the authority of a scholar of ancient Greek.  However, should God have required that we refer to scholars of ancient Hebrew and ancient Greek in order to correctly interpret His word then He should have supplied such a scholar with every printed copy or, at the very least, provided us with irrevocable evidence that the scholars involved in the translation are our true source of understanding, rather than His Spirit.  This would be similar to the way that the Roman Catholic church hierarchy, the Mohammaden Imams and the ancient Hebrew Scribes and Pharisees operated, keeping the common people from understanding and lording their authority over the masses of the "great unwashed".

Not so God, that is never how the Ever Living God operates, for He is generous and kind, though He hides Himself from the arrogant and proud but is a glorious, blazing fire and brilliant light before any humble servant who truly loves His name.  The Lord has given us all we need to understand the scripture through and in His Spirit.

Think about what a person in the days of, let's say, Julius Caesar, meant by using the word for "image".  Were not the artistic busts of ancient emperors called images?  Now consider what the Lord Himself was saying when he asked those trying to cause Him to stumble (regarding a question on taxation) about whether or not it is lawful (for the Jews) to pay tribute to Caesar.  The Lord referred them to a minted coin, wherein there was an "image" or "likeness" (depending on which specific bible version one uses) of Caesar imprinted upon it.  The only possible understanding of this is that, like in today's world and alike throughout all the history of minted coinage, there's an image of the head of the king or queen or principle governing person, in this case, Caesar, on at least one side of the coin.

So, we see that the word, image, is referring to a head, such as that of a bust or the head on a coin, that is, a head without a body, being an image of what it represents because it identifies its own source directly.  Therein lies the obvious clue to identifying the "image of the beast".  A beast is an empire of some kind, like a powerful nation or group of nations, whether physical or spiritual, united under some common system of governance, which is made clear to us in the book of Daniel in the old testament scriptures.  The reference to being a beast is a parable of what it represents.  In the case of the coming global government, the uniting system or ideology will be global socialism or communism, which is why Revelation 13:15 indicates that all are made to worship, that is, give total obeisance, to the image of the beast, since under statist regimes, the state is almighty and there can be no greater authority and, therefore, no greater God than the state, a central tenet of socialist and communist systems.  The head is the governing entity and the body is all the rest.  One can also associate other specific biological elements with sociological elements, such as energy and goods transport with the cardiovascular system, information communications systems (whether snail-mail, on-foot messenger or the modern Internet) with the nervous system, military and police forces with biological defenses such as immune systems, etc.  This is not just lucky, it is a persistent and consistent theme in all creation... just like we see that the mathematical equations used to model energy transfer all come back to the same forms regardless of the manner of energy transfer, the form of the energy or the medium in which it moves, likewise we see systems throughout creation that emulate one another so that the concept of parables makes perfect sense.  God has always spoken through parables because parables are analogous systems of ideas and processes and God is a consistent designer.  Without that consistency, the universe is simply not possible for it is founded on a uniting principle, the justice and righteousness of God.  (There is much to that last line but I will leave it to you to understand it more deeply so that you gain something immensely valuable by that process... if you work at it).

So, the head of the beast is the governing entity, and the image of the beast is merely a head without a body.  This aligns perfectly with the form of the UN.  We see it is much like the head of the first beast, whose current incarnation is the EU government (even in appearance and structure they have striking similarities) but it has not a body, no specific nation or empire, whether physical or spiritual, over which it directly rules, though the second beast seeks to elevate it to being the governing head over all who live on the face of the earth.

Now, whether or not the question is settled for you remains to be seen, for it is your choice to believe or disbelieve regardless of the evidence.  That is how humanity has always operated since the fall of Adam and the only thing that blinds us to the truth is our own pride.  Be very wary of your own propensity for the sin of pride, a flaw suffered by every human being save for the Lord Himself.  We must be ever vigilant to guard against our own vanity and arrogance for it is like a venomous serpent, with its head raised, waiting to spit venom into our eyes to blind us and waiting to strike at any moment once we are blind, taking us down to the pit of destruction.  As the word says, the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom... but one who is proud does not fear God.  As always, seek God on your understanding of this and test anything anyone tells you against the revealed word of God, for therein you will find an answer to every question but only if you seek it through the eyes and understanding afforded you by the Spirit of the Ever Living God, and for that you must be born again, or otherwise you do not have His Spirit at all and, without that, you are as a dead man, having no true sight or correct hearing or real understanding.

Big Boom Maybe Not 2022 After All?

After writing the post about the possible collision of the two stars in a very tight binary orbit, I decided to do a little more research to try and come up to date about the state of things.  Among a few other things, I found an article which indicates that the 2022 estimate may be in error because of a typographical error made when using a set of tabulated data from as long ago as 1999.  The result is that all the calculations were sufficiently off that they no longer think 2022 is a good estimate.

How just one typo had us expecting a supernova in 2022

Oh well, es la vida.

Who knows, maybe it can still happen, maybe in the next few years.... but only God really knows.

Satan's "Climate Crisis"

The WEF, UN, international organisations (all of them) promoting fear of the climate are utterly godless, for their god is a pagan god, the earth, a created thing.  Fear them not!  They are blind men leading the blind and all of them shall fall into a pit!

Fear only God, the Ever Living, He who is, was and ever shall be.  He says...

Gen 8:21-22  And when the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, the LORD said in his heart, "I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intention of man's heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done.  (22)  While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease."

No climate crisis but, certainly, catastrophes, for the sin of mankind weighs heavily on the earth and those cataclysms must come... 

Isa 24:19-23  The earth is utterly broken, the earth is split apart, the earth is violently shaken.  (20)  The earth staggers like a drunken man; it sways like a hut; its transgression lies heavy upon it, and it falls, and will not rise again.  (21)  On that day the LORD will punish the host of heaven, in heaven, and the kings of the earth, on the earth.  (22)  They will be gathered together as prisoners in a pit; they will be shut up in a prison, and after many days they will be punished.  (23)  Then the moon will be confounded and the sun ashamed, for the LORD of hosts reigns on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and his glory will be before his elders.

Mat 24:4-8  And Jesus answered them, "See that no one leads you astray. (5)  For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will lead many astray. (6)  And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. (7)  For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. (8)  All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.

Love God and worshipfully fear Him only, out of love and respect, for He is your life and your future and your loving Father in heaven, but He cannot co-exist with sin and that must come to an end.

The Two Witnesses -- 2022 or Soon After?

This post is somewhat, in part one might say, directed at a certain person with whom I had contact some years ago but that contact has been lost.  Nevertheless, there is content here for any reader also.

Some time in 2019 I came across an article regarding a possible very significant astronomical event that is expected to occur in 2022.  The event is the collision of two stars which currently orbit one another in a decaying orbit.  The collision, if it occurs, is expected to create a huge amount of light visible to the naked eye on earth.  I decided to publish this post when I stumbled again across another article regarding that event and how there is a rabbi who believes it is a major sign of the coming Messiah.

Rabbi Claims Jesus Christ Will Return in 2022, Bases His Prediction on Astronomy

https://www.christianpost.com/news/rabbi-claims-jesus-christ-will-return-2022-bases-prediction-on-astronomy.html

Among other things, I expect we will see some great cataclysms take place that year, which is only a year away.  Perhaps the beginning of sorrows in earnest.

It occurred to me that this could signify the coming together of the two witnesses, the huge light indicating the presence of the power of the Holy Spirit operating through them, beginning when they finally meet.  According to a certain person's prophetic revelation, they will meet through "marvelous signs".  I will not describe much more about that person except to say that I now almost entirely understand all his dreams related to me by his young caregiver.  The revelation about how the witnesses meet, however, was not given to him in a dream but he heard the voice of God speaking and he wrote it all down.  Shortly thereafter he passed on and went to be with the Lord.  I have kept all notes and information I could manage to keep regarding his dreams and that final prophecy since I believe that they were all true revelations.  At this point I am unable to reveal more of what the elderly man said, since I believe his final wishes were to keep what he said and not make it public, but one small, single line I will reveal for the sake of a certain young man.

A certain person, possibly located in Portugal, who may be reading this blog will know who that man was, for that reader is a young man who was a caregiver for the elderly gentleman, and I have since seen another video he published some time ago, which I also understand, regarding the two witnesses.  He wrote me the revelation given to the elderly man shortly before his death and among numerous things it contained the following line; "though they cannot meet.... but marvelous signs make them meet..."

Indeed, since they come from such diverse places on the earth, marvelous signs will be needed for them to meet, and if those two stars come together, that will be, I suspect, a sign that they will meet.  Watch, then, for marvelous signs.  Perhaps they will be visible to all or only to those involved, I do not know, but watch in any case.  God bless that young man who, at his elderly friend's request, never revealed to me his name or his dear old friend's name, may the Lord Ever Living bless him for all the days ahead.

Addendum 2021-03-02

I should point out a couple of issues with the article linked in this post.  As usual, reporting has been sensationalised, "so," thought I, "perhaps I should make that fact explicit."  Not that you wouldn't notice, but just in case you don't.

First of all, the article is entitled (very entitled), "Rabbi Claims Jesus Christ Will Return in 2022, Bases His Prediction on Astronomy."

NO he did NOT!  The rabbi made NO such claim.  The rabbi merely spoke of such events preceding or relating to the appearance of the Messiah.

At the beginning of the article, we read, "A rabbi in Israel is predicting that Jesus Christ might return in 2022 when astronomers foresee two large stars colliding and creating a light visible from Earth."  Notice the definite change in tone, "... might return...", typical of sensationalistic reporting being toned down somewhat but, clearly, not enough, still not correct.

Later, we read the rabbi's own words which neither indicate nor discount a precise coincidence of stellar events and the appearance of the Messiah.  The "will" and "might", in 2022, are added by the author of the article, obviously operating as click-bait.

I guess that I assume most people have a critical eye and ear regarding things being said and claims that are made but, looking around these days, that is an unsafe assumption.  I hope that my efforts thus far encourage you to fine-tune your own mental filters in order to pick apart the tricky language so often used, especially in mass media and also from those who make sensational claims about scripture, regardless of the source.  Context, my friends, context and logic.

SARS-CoV-2, Lockdowns, Vaccines and Murdered Children

Firstly, I want to remind you that the most important thing here is to anchor yourself to Christ, to the immovable rock of ages, so that your anxieties will be subdued under the power of almighty God.  Note in these verses how the disciples failed to comprehend that their lives were always safe because God has a plan for each of them and the Lord did not choose them willy-nilly but quite specifically and deliberately.

Mat 8:23-27  And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him.  (24)  And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep.  (25)  And they went and woke him, saying, "Save us, Lord; we are perishing."  (26)  And he said to them, "Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?" Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.  (27)  And the men marveled, saying, "What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?"

Note how, in the following verses, it was only when Peter took his eyes (thus focus and thoughts) off the Lord and set them upon the turmoil of his surroundings that he then began to sink.  We must stay ourselves on the Lord, continually keeping Him at the forefront of our thoughts in all circumstances, now more so than ever before.

Mat 14:25-33  And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea.  (26)  But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, "It is a ghost!" and they cried out in fear.  (27)  But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid." (28)  And Peter answered him, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water."  (29)  He said, "Come." So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus.  (30)  But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, "Lord, save me."  (31)  Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" (32)  And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.  (33)  And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."

By "he saw the wind", it is understood that he saw the waves caused by the wind, and this made Peter afraid.  So, the following information and possible (let me repeat that, "possible", not definite) scenario is not intended to frighten but to cause you to think, consider the times we are in, recognise the spiritual "climate", and not do as the Pharisees and scribes of two thousand years ago did, failing to recognise the time of their visitation.

Please watch this video.  It is about an hour long, granted that is considerable, but it elucidates on the situation in which we find ourselves:

Dr. Matthew Whiteside, Dean of Science Department at Crown College breaks down the shocking truth about COVID-19.

https://rumble.com/vbxs05-settled-science-the-truth-behind-covid-19.html

A relevant article:

Biocompatible near-infrared quantum dots delivered to the skin by micro-needle patches record vaccination.

https://stm.sciencemag.org/content/11/523/eaay7162.full

Dr. Matthew Whiteside is a PhD holder in an area known as chemical ecology and is the originator of the "quantum dot" technology we have been hearing about for more than a year now.  This technology will be the ideal instrument by which the globalist super-state will be able to "mark" everybody, as per the revelation about the mark of the beast, chapter 13 of the Book of the Revelation.

Although we do not know if this or some other means will be used as the mark, we can be reasonably certain that the FIDO Alliance's technology, in particular the use of biometrics, can be combined with the mark of the beast (by which, whatever form it takes, it is a mark identifying a human being as the property of some kind of worldly empire or state, the beast), so that no person may be able to engage in any kind of trade if he or she does not have the mark.

Though I had considered the quantum dot technology as a possible candidate for the mark of the beast, it was not clear to me a year ago how it could be used to specifically signify the beast (that is, the name of the beast or the number of his name, 666).  However, on further consideration more recently it became apparent that it need not be some kind of RFID or complex mark but can be very simple, quite literally simply the number "666" marked under the skin using a series of quantum dots, or the literal name of the beast or the number (666) as the three pairs of bars used as delimiters on modern UPC barcodes (the three isolated pairs of bars at the start, middle and end of a universal product code, those bars that are extra long, on their own actually are each a 6) with the unique personal identity number, linked to your account in the IMF, implemented in the barcode itself, and using biometric security to enable access.  Even if you have an account and they have your biometrics, without the mark then you are unable to trade.  The use of a barcode was obvious dating back to when barcodes first appeared on products but how it could be used without disfiguring a person's face (if used on the forehead) was not so obvious until the last few years.  Quantum dot technology makes barcoding human beings a perfectly viable means of implementing the "mark of the beast", reducing human beings to nothing more than the equivalent of sheep or cattle.

This seems to me a plausible scenario, primarily because it does not require the more expensive option of a subcutaneously implanted electronic device and also because, before the beast requires that you receive a mark, the introduction of IMF accounts in an international cashless system of commerce can take place with barely a whimper of complaint by billions of people already indoctrinated with the idea of cashless transactions and the need for increased security in local, national and international trade.  We are already so familiar with cashless transactions and remote purchasing, which was especially accelerated by the "plandemic" lockdowns, which seemed completely unnecessary at first but the reasons for them become more apparent in that they have greatly accelerated the process of removing cash from transactions and conditioned many people to this method of trade who would, otherwise, not have done so.  Note that although I use the made-up term, "plandemic", seemingly implying some kind of conspiracy, it need not be viewed that way.  Whether the "pandemic" (which does not actually meet the death rate criteria of a true pandemic) was planned or accidental is, well, incidental, since in either case the globalist powers are taking advantage of it.

It also becomes clear why, even though there are perfectly good non-vaccine treatments available for the COVID-19 disease, so many governments are conspicuously opposed to them.  They want people to become conditioned to the idea of having identifying marks embedded in their skin, since the quantum dot technology is being used in many so-called "vaccines" for the current "crisis".

So, the order of events may simply be this:

1.  The plandemic "forces" lockdowns and increased need for Internet security and cashless transactions, thereby conditioning people to this newer way of trade and into accepting a loss of freedom and privacy for greater "security".

2.  Forced "vaccinations" used to condition people into accepting a level of totalitarian control (big government forced intervention) they would otherwise not tolerate, once again for perceived greater "security", in this case "health security" or "safety".

3.  The forced "vaccinations" introduce people to the idea of quantum dot technology being used as an identifier marking "who is safe" and isolating "who is not safe", once again using the fear of death (overhyped danger of "the virus") to control people and condition them into allowing embedded identifiers in their own flesh.

4.  Ongoing media hype about dreaded virus mutations (which, at this point, really appear to be deaths caused by the vaccines and not by a new mutant form of the virus) in order to keep people in a perpetual state of fear and to cause the mob-mentality of fearful people to attack anybody who does not conform and accept the "vaccine" in this so-called "new normal".  This alleviates the need for a very large police force to police the people and force them to accept such onerous government "intervention" in their lives.

5.  Simultaneous media hype about climate catastrophes (always somewhere you cannot go and see for yourself) in order to keep the climate alarmism alive and use it to manufacture new laws revolving around environmentalism, by which people will be stripped of property rights and freedoms as well as a massive reduction in access to essentials leading to a greatly increased mortality rate (the beast has long, sharp, green claws).

6.  The building of the new temple in Jerusalem and, under the direction of the false pope (whom St Francis prophesied would come), placing the false ark, known as "The Ark of Hope", containing the ten false commandments (based on militant environmentalism) in the temple as a symbol of the new global religion to "unite" all religions under the common goal of "saving the planet".  Whether this occurs before the son of perdition is revealed or not is something I really cannot guess at but it would seem to me a precondition to usher in the false messiah.

7.  The ongoing manufactured turmoil (including deliberate banking security weaknesses introduced to make electronic fraud and theft easier) around the world in the areas of finance and commerce leading to national governments capitulating to the UN and the IMF and implementing cashless systems linked to the IMF and/or the World Bank and perhaps other international bankster-run organisations, forcing everybody to have an international account along with the required account number, as well as accepting biometric security as necessary for the effectiveness of "the system" in defeating fraud and theft.  Other claims will include the need to identify terrorist and international pedophile ring activities and so forth.  Who could oppose that?  Certainly not a planet full of terrified people!

8.  The banksters continue to allow a certain level of insecurity in the system in order to eventually force everybody who wants to engage in "legitimate" trade to receive "the mark".  Alternatively, "the mark" becomes the next means of identifying "vaccinated" people after a new and worse plandemic takes place.  This can be done by forming the patches with micro-needles used to "inject" the "vaccine" in such a manner as to created the pattern of quantum dots necessary to depict the mark of the beast.

9.  Eventually, the son of perdition has to make an appearance and may come in as "a saviour", seemingly, as if by magic or supernatural power, alleviating all the distress and seemingly subduing all the turmoil, even wars and the like.  He will then take his place at the temple and declare himself god.  Whether he appears before or after the appearance of "the mark" is debatable but, perhaps, his appearance will usher in the forced requirement for the mark, so it may at first be voluntary.

The mark may be a subcutaneous tattoo using rows of quantum dots forming a UPC barcode containing a person's identity code (linking to that person's account) along with the three pairs of double bars that indicate 666.  Since, due to having used human tissue (of murdered children) for decades now in the design, testing and manufacture of many products (not just vaccines), and the implementation of "organ donor" programmes and the massive trade in human organs that already exists, humans are now, more than ever, seen as no more valuable than any other commercial product, which is precisely how socialism views the human being, merely as an economic unit to be used and eventually discarded and, as much as possible, recycled.  Alternatively, a simple label indicating the number or name of the beast (remember, the beast is not a person but a state, an empire of some kind) made with rows of quantum dots may suffice, although it may be possible to fake with a false tattoo using a clear, matte plastic label placed over the skin.  You will note that the scripture in Revelation chapter 13 does not indicate that a person (and therefore a person's account) is identified by the mark but only that the mark must simply be present to allow a person permission to trade.

In any case, whatever form the mark takes, the result is a combination of the mark with the already existing biometric database, powerful face recognition and identification software and video surveillance all connected to powerful servers (perhaps Google, Amazon, NSA, etc.) via the new, very high speed 5G networks, which can provide both instant account access and strong security.  A simple LED array of an appropriate emission spectra can be used to "light up" the mark and make it highly visible in the normally visible light range.  This can operate quite literally like a camera flash so that the mark of the beast appears for a very brief instant but enough for today's high performance digital imaging and image processing technology to capture, process and recognise it, although perhaps too fast for the human eye.

Just remember, although this may appear a viable course of events at this point in time, it is still speculative but your focus on the Lord will both alleviate anxiety and, simultaneously, cause your understanding and perception to be led by His Spirit, so you will not need to speculate as you watch the events unfold and correctly perceive their significance.  He is the one to direct your path, not your pastor or friend or priest or any other person; Christ only.

At this point, all who refuse the mark of the beast will be denied basic needs to live since they will be unable to even purchase food and clothing for themselves.  Is it any wonder that the Lord, Yeshua, specifically spoke about these particular needs when He exhorted believers to trust God for all things and seek first God's kingdom and His righteousness and "all these (other) things will be added to you also"?  Yes, they are very basic and seemingly obvious (after the fact, of course) but it is the specificity of using them explicitly in the discourse that should make clear He knew well ahead of time what we should prepare for.  He did this on numerous occasions with other issues, also.

Mat 6:25-33  "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? (26)  Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? (27)  And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? (28)  And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, (29)  yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. (30)  But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? (31)  Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' (32)  For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. (33)  But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

If you are not already near or at that place of total trust, you really, really need to work at it and rush towards that now because all who receive the mark of the beast are then the property of the beast and, with the beast, go to perdition.  As the scripture clearly points out, this calls for the patience and the faith of the saints.

Mat 24:13  But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

Do not fear, for we are in the world for a time such as this.  We are to be the growingly bright lights in a deepeningly dark world, the darker the world then the brighter we must shine for the Lord and for all the lost souls awash in the misery of this final madness.

Kamala Devi Harris - Prophesied by William Branham?

(A brief note to somebody who may be reading this blog, someone with whom I have had contact years ago and who related to me the dreams of his dear old and now departed friend... peradventure the pale red (pink?) lotus in The Whitehouse is, indeed, a sign to the prescient?  You will know what I mean; just recall his three dreams in one night.  The lotus will mean more but perhaps this is to let us all know.)

Cautionary note:  I decided to clearly point out that I do not condone nor condemn the prophetic visions and claims of William Branham.  I cannot say whether or not he was a genuine prophet at some point and perhaps wandered away from truth in the imaginations of his heart.  Those who have read my blog over the years will know that I have never declared any contemporary of our age to be a true prophet for we can only know what is prophecy by its fulfillment.  I do know that the Lord has, at times, given me foresight into things to come but it is usually difficult to comprehend until the events take place.  This He has done through many people and the only safe thing to do in such instances is simply present the information as given, not add to it nor take from it, and do so only when definitely directed to by the Lord.

Kamala, as in the name of the (suppositious) vice president of the former USA, who, by all accounts including, it would appear, the prophecies of William Branham, will become "president" (but not through election; rather she will simply assume - i.e. take - power), has the meaning of "lotus" or "pale red" in Sanskrit.  However, Branham had referred to her sometimes as a "goddess" of some kind.  What is very interesting here is that the name, Kamala, is an alternative name for the Hindu goddess, Lakshmi, and that name literally means "sign" or "mark".  Yikes!!!

Branham prophesied that, due to women being able to vote, they would make a wrong choice and following that a woman would become a powerful leader in the USA.  He describes her as being well dressed and attractive and like a goddess but with a very cruel heart.  Note that he did not say that she would be elected, only that she would gain power, come into power.  This event apparently precedes the destruction of the world, which would be world war three and the cataclysms that are described in the Book of the Revelation to John, but we do not know by how long.  Many thought the prophecy of "the women" electing the wrong person was a reference to J. F. Kennedy's election but it seems it may in fact be a reference to Biden because we know what powerful sway the Democrats have over the female vote, especially through the demonic power of feminism whose core is witchcraft (essentially demon worship).

So, Kamala, the name of a Hindu goddess, whose alternative name is Lakshmi which means a "sign" or a "mark" is going to take control of the remains of the USA after which the great tribulation may get started... possibly not before the two witnesses are on the scene or, alternatively, perhaps they turn up immediately after the great war... that may be a better fit to Revelation 10 and 11.  Maybe something like this: Harris takes control as president, then some catastrophes and war come, then there's the great war, then the two witnesses and then the end.  The whole thing is tribulation, really.  In any case, whatever happens, all is according to God's perfect timing.

Interesting also is her surname, Harris, which derives from Henry and means "home ruler".  Now ain't that just dandy?

In fact, her entire name is Kamala Devi Harris.  "Devi"?  Really?  Guess what Devi means?  You ain't gonna believe this... it derives from a Sanskrit word and means "goddess".  Devi... "is the Hindu mother goddess who manifests herself as all other goddesses."  Goddesses would, to the feminists, mean "women", of course.  Just as Branham indicated, America is a nation that revolves around women and is ultimately ruled by women.  "Devil" would seem more accurate but false gods are often devils in the end, are they not?

We are in the time of the end, folks, of that you can be without any doubt at all.  Put your trust in the Ever Living God, be born again of water and of the spirit for only a living spirit can inherit a living body.  Do we need God to make it all more obvious?  How long until people truly awaken from the sleep of death?  A great revival must come in order for the tribulation to begin, so watch what happens, watch very carefully, do as the Lord Himself said, "Watch!"

Restoring a Few Old Posts

I decided to restore a post regarding the beast, second beast and image of the beast.  There is much wrong-headed belief in the world regarding the meaning of "beast" in the scripture but one requires only a modicum of historical knowledge, some research skills and understanding of the book of the prophet, Daniel, to see that much of what is passed off as "the beast" and "the image of the beast" is nonsense.  You can find the post via this link:

The Second Beast Enforcing Worship of the Image of the Beast

Regarding the mark of the beast, in a 2014 post I provided a link to the technical alliance of companies via which this mark will come into being, an alliance called "The FIDO Alliance".  It's stated aim was to establish the technical specification for much greater online financial transaction security and to then implement it.  It is enough to simply place that link here so that you can look into it yourself.  Their (publicly stated) goal was, and still is, to do away with traditional passwords and use more secure means of enabling online financial transactions but a key issue of what I pointed out was the implementation of biometrics as one central component in the new system.  It is hardly news now but is still worth bearing in mind.  Note that these companies are strongly associated with the international banksters.  What I did not realise back then was that a pandemic would be used to bring about the conditions to further accelerate implementation and enforce this highly controlled and monitored system or, at the very least, to set up the conditions by which such a total control system could be passed into law by fearful and compliant, godless governments.

The FIDO Alliance

The destruction of the USA as a nation was already clearly in sight.  There will be no unity, only division and those who continue to pursue the idea of a United States of America will only be disappointed.  The nation has been judged but we saw this coming years ago, many before me and many after me.  I was not alone in this prophecy.  However, I want you to be certain that there are many individuals in the USA who are faithful and of whom our eternal Father in heaven is always mindful to watch over them.  The destruction of a nation does not equate to the complete destruction of its people but is about destroying an irrevocably corrupted culture.

As Ancient Egypt, so, too, America

The USA Is Dead

The Broken Eagle

Repent, America, You Can Yet be Saved

Long Shadows

Goodbye, Great Eagle

I should point out, however, that the existence of the USA as a nation may be brought back after the Lord returns, but it will not be what it currently is or ever was and will not be raised again in this time of the end.

Regarding the plandemic and what will soon follow (wars, pestilence, fear and panic):

The Perfect Storm

Do not be frightened by these things for those in, and who remain in, Christ are established on the immovable rock forever.  All storms will pass... ALL of them!

Regarding the deceit of the rapture, an easy escape from tribulation hoped for by millions the world over and a stumbling block for any who are careless with the word and have not loved the Lord more than the world (there is more that could be written on this, plenty more, but this is more than sufficient):

The Lie of the Rapture

Note that there is a Greek, word (παρουσία -- pronounced "parousia") in the scripture which many claim means "a catching away" but that is incorrect.  The word simply refers to the appearance of Christ, the arrival of the Great King.  The mention of the "catching away" of the saints is simply a reference to what occurs immediately upon completion of the removal of the sinners from the land.  Once the "trash" is taken out, the angels "harvest" the sons of God, gathering them together for the great wedding feast of the Lamb.  Where exactly?  I will leave that to you to uncover, but the scripture does not hide it; we simply need to understand.

παρουσία (parousia) appears in the following verses:

As "coming", 22 times -- Mat 24:3, Mat 24:27, Mat 24:37, Mat 24:39, 1Co 15:23, 1Co 16:17, 2Co 7:6-7 (2), Phi 1:26, 1Th 2:19, 1Th 3:13, 1Th 4:15, 1Th 5:23, 2Th 2:1, 2Th 2:8-9 (2), Jam 5:7-8 (2), 2Pe 1:16, 2Pe 3:4, 2Pe 3:12, 1Jo 2:28.

As "presence", 2  times -- 2Co 10:10, Phi 2:12.

On the issue of antichrist, is it a spirit or a person?  It is a spirit, if you adhere to scripture, but a spirit that inhabits the wicked, all the sons of perdition:

Misconception of the Meaning of Antichrist

There are many scriptures, mostly prophetic, which are misinterpreted in our day and age.  This is not surprising because the true church is yet to return into the world as an organised entity.  As I have said already, like physical Israel, so, too, spiritual Israel has had its own diaspora and that must come to an end, by the prophesying of the final Elijah to come.  As another example of the mistreatment of scripture, you may like to read this old post about that thing referred to as being like a mountain all on fire which was cast into the sea:

As it were a Great Mountain...

The belief in the return of the nephilim is something to be carefully scrutinised for it will mislead many into seeking signs that will not come, the appearance of beings of great stature or other such things of the ancient past.  There may be something about the whole saga regarding the illegitimate progeny of mankind with fallen angels in these end times but there is no need for an actual physical reappearance of such beings in full for the son of perdition to arise.  Daniel was not talking about the nephilim when he prophesied the "mingling with the seed of men":

Daniel 2:43 and the Seed of Men

Daniel spoke extensively on the conditions in the time of the end.  One of those was referring to travel, about many people traveling "to and fro".  Many have misunderstood this, although it is perhaps of little consequence, but I pointed it out because we must be ever vigilant with regards to how we understand scripture.  Unfortunately, critical thinking is something which has not been taught in the classrooms of western nations for decades.  I was one of the "lucky" ones.

A Note on Travel in Daniel

These are some of the posts I published regarding the two witnesses.  There may be a few items in these old posts that I would modify now because my understanding has grown since then but I will leave them as they were and perhaps discuss the issues further in later posts.

The Twelve Apostates

On the issue of being careful when we read scripture... I recall, in secondary school, a teacher I had for mathematics warned us to be careful when we read the exam questions, to read what is actually written rather than what we think is written.  We are prone to see what we believe rather than what is actually before us.  This is known as "confirmation bias", but it appears in different forms and has a few other names.  I have written a little on the necessary care in reading scriptures as already noted above, and here is another sample:

The Rubbish They Claim

Connected to the issue of being careful in reading scripture is to be careful in assessing the claims of prophecy, especially on-line where so many "wannabe prophets" publish endlessly their false and nonsensical claims.  It is not difficult to learn to discern, so in addition to what I suggest (and it is only that... suggestion), seek the Lord on all such matters (including on whether this person writing this blog is true or false!!!):

Things We Already Know

Something on just a little of my personal experience regarding the world hidden from our eyes.  There have been numerous experiences but there is little point in their publication.  I only do this so that any who truly believe, that is, trust the Lord may gain confidence that He is always with them.  On the issue of what exactly faith is, faith is not merely belief, for even demons believe in the Son of Man.  Faith is really an old fashioned word for the noun form of trust... but the prerequisite for trust is, of course, belief.  That is, faith (noun) is the characteristic from which trust (verb, an action) springs.  Be careful to understand that when you read the bible translated into English or another non-Greek and non-Hebraic language, for such is often based on interpretations decades or centuries old so it is important to gain better understanding of the use of language back then.  Our modern forms of the languages we speak often mislead us because they are so corrupted.

When Michael Called

My own field of electronic design engineering required extensive scientific studies at the undergraduate level but I did not cease my studies upon graduation.  I have been a life-long student of truth, in all its forms where ever I can find and uncover it.  The study of physics was, and in some sense still is, one of my greatest pleasures.  I have come to realise that the Lord chose this engineering profession for me because of its logical rigour and He wanted to instill in me the desire to uncover all truth and expose all lies.  That is part of my mission, to restore the truth to the understanding of those whom the Lord will send my way.

Howl, Ye Rich, Howl for Your Riches Fly Away Forever!

Those who enjoy the benefits of their great success, gained at the expense of us all, now wish to deny us the same opportunities that gave them what they have.  They are like the wicked pharisees (and not all of them were, but a good number) of the days when our Lord and Saviour walked among us, whom He accused of refusing to enter the kingdom by God's appointed way and denying others access to it, also.  They had the riches of the poor, unpaid wages of those who were struggling, in their houses, and possession of lands and property unjustly gained, apart from that justly gained.  Today's self-appointed, unelected "leaders", the uber-wealthy, whose wealth is the product of the freedoms they have enjoyed plus that which they have kept from those to whom it belongs, those same wicked now want to deny to all those they consider lesser people the rights and freedoms which gave them their own opportunities for success.  Worse still, they want to take all that is left, all that belongs to the people, to themselves to control and use as they wish.  They want to deny us our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and, eventually, our very lives.  Because of their perverse and ignorant beliefs that we are nothing more than evolved pond scum, they are deep in the darkest and strongest of all delusions and they will pay the eternal price.  God is patient and unwilling that anyone should perish but, ultimately, God will not be mocked.

The destruction of the wicked will come, like a huge and unstoppable tornado, like a firestorm in a cyclone, on the day of reckoning, the day of the Lord.  I dread that day, for I have already seen even just a glimpse of it, a day of darkness and terror the likes of which mankind has never known, but it surely is coming and will come, of that there is no doubt, and it is coming sooner than many may think.

The witnesses will be frustrated because, in spite of the plagues of fire and hail and blood and drought they bring upon the land, few shall turn from their wickedness and the witnesses will go to their deaths in despair at the hard-heartedness of humanity, but they will arise to eternal life and glory and to the shock and utter horror of their enemies who, having denied the Ever Living God, will not believe their own eyes.

Then the end will come, that great a dreadful day when the earth is swept clean of the wicked and of all that causes sin.

Howl, you wicked, howl and cry out you unrighteous rich, you who trod down the poor of the earth and deny the people that which God gave to all, for all your riches have turned to dust and all your power is now in the mouths of the maggots in your graves and your worm will never perish, nor your souls see the warm light again.

James 5:1-6 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days. Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the righteous person. He does not resist you.

A Message to the Self-Appointed Elitists

Why the "great reset", Schwab? You're nothing more than a James Bond movie villain, all self-important and, yet, a great, big nothing... nothing more than a sock-muppet for the globalist banksters, the children of the devil, the sons of perdition of the synagogue of Satan.

The children of Satan feel their hegemony threatened by a growing middle class, the global reduction in poverty and starvation and the increased mobility of the masses, which all leads to more free people and, therefore, greater difficulty for the self-appointed "gods" to control all things. They threaten us continually with stories of shortages and lack and starvation and overpopulation, fear-mongering continually through their main stream media outlets, decade after decade, always a catastrophe in another ten years, decade after decade, but the people grow wealthier, happier, more free, live longer, there is less starvation and suffering per capita than there has ever been throughout all history. The world is far from perfect but it is much better than it has ever been, yet the wicked want to return us all to serfdom and even wish death upon nineteen out of every twenty living souls, their hearts are filled with hatred and murder and their houses with wealth robbed from the poor.

The catastrophes never come so they make them come by every means at their disposal. They want to live in palaces, be fed and clothed and do as they please, with a slave race to take care of all their needs and selfish desires, from providing high tech gadgets and farming crops and maintaining houses and boats and planes for them to providing them a source of live organs to help them live forever if at all possible... without God... but they despise us all and want never to look upon our faces nor see us anywhere in their field of vision. They figure that five hundred million people is more than enough, thus the figure on the "Georgia Guide Stones", few enough to hide from but sufficient to serve them and keep their psychotic Satanic vision alive.

Guess what, you fools? The devil does not care a tinker's toss about you, for you are merely his play things. I've got news for you saggy, execrable sacks of defilement under God's wrath who, like your maggot-ridden mentor, Marx, probably have never done an honest day's work in your wretched, miserable lives... the earth does NOT belong to you; it belongs to Yeshua and He is back soon and will deal with you according to your wickedness and your folly... for we see the clear signs of the coming harvest, the wheat clearly showing itself to be wheat but the darnel clearly showing itself to be the worthless thing that it is, prepared only for a furious conflagration after the seven bowls of God's wrath have been poured out upon you. The harvesting angels will have no trouble distinguishing the children of wrath from the children of light.

Rom 9:22 ASV What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath fitted unto destruction:

Remember, you wicked and worthless ones, you who are no better than animals and instincts; the money changers cast out of the temple and the wicked vineyard renters killed by the great king are your predecessors, your spiritual fathers, for you are the children of the robber barons, the children of destruction, you are the spiritual descendants of the wicked servants who put the Lord to death, and upon you will come all the vengeful wrath of the unjustly shed blood of every innocent soul since the world began!

Even if you manage to silence every righteous soul in this world, there are two coming whom you will never silence and they will be such thorns in your sides that you will reel as if drunk and stagger as if weighed down by a millstone, and although, for just one moment, you may believe that you have won, ultimately you will be destroyed.

Yet the Ever Living God extends to you an opportunity to repent, just as He does for every living soul... but I know you will not.
