Lamentations 3:41-47 -- Dealing with the cancer

41 Let us lift up our hearts and our hands to God in heaven, and say: 42 “We have sinned and rebelled and you have not forgiven.

This would be the first step. Third world countries call the CIA the “cocaine importing Agency”, they made billions as did the military members and police that assisted this business. Often the drugs were delivered to the drug dealers by the police. So you can understand why those felons who have gone to jail for selling drugs have such a great distrust of the police. When people call for defunding the police these are the ones they want defunded. All the naive suburban middle class who have allowed this cancer to grow throughout the country creating a deep state think the calls to “defund the police” are idiotic, not knowing the full story. Even if 99% of the police are upstanding, that 1% operating with impunity are every bit as bad as any cartel member. They have filled this country with blood and the Lord is coming in to deal with this cancer. This cancer has been exposed in this trial of the supposed plot to kidnap Governor Whitmer which it now has been shown was both funded and planned by the FBI as a prelude to Jan 6th.

43 “You have covered yourself with anger and pursued us; you have slain without pity.

Sorry, but this must be the attitude. We have learned when you deal with drug addicts they will lie every possible way, they will look for a weak link, they will appeal to your pity. This cancer must be dealt with without pity. We call this "tough love".

44 You have covered yourself with a cloud so that no prayer can get through.

What is this cloud? You know O man what is right. The Lord has given you the word, you need to do it. Confess your sins, deal with every one of them. The way this operates is they get compromising information about some sin a person has done and they use that as leverage against them to commit other sins (we’ll pay you to do the dirty work or we’ll expose your sins and you go to jail). Therefore you have to confess these sins otherwise you are still a slave to them.

45 You have made us scum and refuse
among the nations.

Nice how that works. The third world knows your sins, they know who you are, and as that knowledge grows you find it increasingly difficult to do anything. You are despised universally. It is interesting that this sounds like a drug addict. The American people were like drug addicts mesmerized by Hollywood, Madison Avenue, the TV, etc. They still thought that they were a bastion of freedom and charitable works becoming more and more removed from reality. Now when they are trying to wake up and sober up they realize the truth, the US is considered scum and refuse among the nations.

46 “All our enemies have opened their mouths wide against us.

This stuff works when you are operating in the shadows. But when the information about these secrets come to light they look extremely shameful and disgusting. As a rule it is very easy to get documentaries about their sins whether you are talking about American Oligarchs aiding and abetting the Nazis in Germany along with European aristocracy and the Catholic church. You can read about the CIA working with the Mafia to assassinate JFK and you can read about 9/11 being an inside job. It may seem like you have a very big and powerful organization with thousands of people involved, but now hundreds of millions are learning that Vietnam was used as cover for the CIA to import drugs into this country for distribution by the drug dealers, or that terrorist attacks in the US and Europe were perpetrated by these secret agencies working in concert. The other day I saw an incredible documentary about Covid. In an earlier test run the "deep state" created HIV in a lab then added it to a small pox vaccine given to 2,000 people in Africa and that is how the AIDS epidemic began. Not only so but they had a very cheap cure called HCQ which works on all viruses but they kept that part quiet. Then the guy who invented Covid first published the cure many years ago. Before releasing it on the world the elites needed to have the cure, HCQ, Ivermectin, Vitamin D and Zinc. You use all but Ivermectin as a prophylactic and then if you get sick you use Ivermectin. After publishing the cure they then released the disease while Fauci prohibits the use of any treatment other than Remdesivir which was also created in a lab by the same guy who created Covid. It turns out Remdesivir doesn't help, all it does is destroy your kidneys. When Trump told the world they could use HCQ then Fauci mocked him to scorn. Now please note, at this time the elites including Fauci were all taking HCQ prophylactically. Not exactly "how to win friends". This is all public knowledge, two years later and more than 5 million deaths later. The world is waking up, they are looking at this foul loathsome creature, they are saying "we know what you have done". Judgement is coming.

47 We have suffered terror and pitfalls, ruin and destruction.”

One of the best things about the JFK assassination is reading how many “witnesses” were murdered. Although some of these witnesses were innocent people doing the right thing most were involved with the plot. It is one of those crimes that takes a hundred people, helps the careers of four or five people, and then those few realize the best thing for their career is to kill the other 95. Then you have pitfalls of death bed confessions like Howard Hunt’s. Of course there is the ruin of the Mainstream media that operated as yes men to the CIA to the extent they have lost all credibility. Finally there is the wanton indiscriminate destruction blowing up federal buildings and the Twin Towers. Why did the banks feel they were immune from prosecution for the Mortgage meltdown crisis? They knew enough about 9/11 to bring down the whole house of cards. You have to deal with this cancer or it grows and becomes worse and worse.

Lamentations 3:48-50 They have violated Noah's covenant with God.

48 Streams of tears flow from my eyes because my people are destroyed.

How, why? Let’s just look at modern history, you had the Russian revolution which terrorized the rich elites. They understandably wanted to build a bulwark against the Soviets by building up Germany and it was worthy of a Disney evil genius how they made the Germans become beholden to them. They engineered the most onerous peace treaty which the Germans would not be able to ever get out from under. Then they came in with their money and built up a useful idiot, Hitler, to run a Fascists regime and pumped billions into their industry to build up a state of the art manufacturing. This is how the German miracle took place, it was paid for the by the rich elites. Now you might think this doesn’t make sense, who wants to invest in creating a megalomaniac who will set fire to Europe? Why would the Rothschilds and European aristocracy do this? What you have to understand is that war is exceedingly profitable business for these ones, government will borrow huge sums of money making banks very rich, they will buy all sorts of guns (remington), tanks and jeeps (Ford, etc) oil and gas (standard oil) and on and on. Pushing the world to war was very good business for all involved. Obviously Hitler went too far when he started bombing London, I mean that is close to the Queen’s castle, so they applied pressure for him to turn his attention to the real target, Russia. From any logical or military point of view attacking Russia was idiotic, stopping the battle of Britain was idiotic, but from the elites point of view it made perfect sense. Still, they are very greedy and will not allow themselves to take a loss, so even though they played both sides and were going to come out with a profit anyway, they wanted to get their investment in Germany back. Hence, the Final Solution. Make the 11 million gassed in the Holocaust pay. Take everything they own, even their gold fillings. Now that may seem like ancient history but that crime, their involvement in one of the most heinous and evil acts in human history is what motivates them to this day. You have to hide that sin. How can you hide it without a really powerful CIA. When you have committed a horrible crime like that it makes you very paranoid that someone will find out and expose you. That is the impetus behind the CIA, that is the impetus behind filling the deep state power positions with like minded people who are also compromised by their own sins. The cold war, the terrorists attacks, these were all designed to convince us we needed a super powerful NSA and CIA. JFK, Watergate, 9/11 it all flows from there. Vietnam was simply feeding and watering your garden of evil doers.

49 My eyes will flow unceasingly, without relief,

Why is there no relief? The facts on these things have already come out. Where is the press? Where is the justice department? Why haven’t the law courts dealt with this? They are not your press or your law courts, they belong to the rulers. Could it be any clearer? If someone commits mass murder against the US (911) nothing happens and the investigation is horribly flawed. On the other hand if someone trespasses in the Capitol building they are summarily executed or locked up in solitary confinement. Walls "don't work" or are "too expensive" at the border where 2+ million illegal aliens come across but they are just what they need to protect Washington DC.

50 until the Lord looks down from heaven and sees.

What is the covenant God made with Noah, it was the government's job to deal with murder. If you fail to do that you violate your covenant with God and you are no longer legitimate. We show God this, let Him see, and then it is on God to bring judgement. This is the job of the royal priesthood. This is why they fear the saints.

Comparing the most vaccinated countries with the least vaccinated

The compelling reason to have a vaccine mandate is that it is good for society and will lead to herd immunity and put an end to the pandemic.

Ten most vaccinated based on https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2021/health/global-covid-vaccinations/

Gibraltar -- 119% vaccinated 2,969 deaths per million

Pitcairn -- 100% vaccinated No Data

UAE -- 91% vaccinated 215 deaths per million

Portugal -- 89% vaccinated 1,861 deaths per million

Brunei -- 87% vaccinated 221 deaths per million

Singapore -- 87% vaccinated 139 deaths per million

Chile -- 86% vaccinated 2,017 deaths per million

Cayman Islands -- 86% vaccinated 165 deaths per million

Cuba -- 85% vaccinated 735 deaths per million

Malta -- 84% vaccinated 1,074 deaths per million

Ten least vaccinated based on https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2021/health/global-covid-vaccinations/

Burundi <1% vaccinated and 3 deaths per million

Congo <1% vaccinated and 64 deaths per million

Haiti <1% vaccinated and 66 deaths per million

Chad <1% vaccinated and 11 deaths per million

Guinea- Bissau 1% vaccinated and 73 deaths per million

Yemen 1% vaccinated and 64 deaths per million

Ethiopia 1% vaccinated and 58 deaths per million

South Sudan <2% vaccinated and 12 deaths per million

Tanzania <2% vaccinated and 12 deaths per million

Mali <2% vaccinated and 31 deaths per million

Deaths per million are from https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Tell me again how great this vaccine is?


Chad <1% vaccinated as of Dec 29th, 2021

Dec 31, 2020 104 total dead

Dec 29, 2021 181 total dead

Chad — 77 dead since Jan 1 2021

Chad 43% of the dead were in 2021.

So then in 2021 the death rate dropped to about 8 per million, maybe lower, in 2021.

Gibraltar (highest vaccinated country on Earth)

6 dead as of Dec 31, 2020

100 dead as of Dec 29, 2021

In Gibraltar 94% of their dead have come after the vaccine was out.

Gibraltar had 178 dead per million prior to the vaccine and now they have 2,969 dead per million.

(I pull this data off of Worldometer, anyone can do the research, it is tedious, but have at it)

Lamentations 3:51-66 As they have done may it be done unto them

51 What I see brings grief to my soul because of all the women of my city.

There was a six year old girl shot and killed on the streets of NYC yesterday and her mother is now in the ICU. All this evil that is perpetrated by the elites and the Deep state, the victims are the women of the city. They are the ones who are raped, they are the ones who see their kids shot and killed on the street or caught up in drugs or in gangs. A couple of days ago a healthy 3 year old got the vaccine and died of a heart attack in one day. The CDC has an exemption from getting the vaccine, none of their children are vaccinated.

52 Those who were my enemies without cause hunted me like a bird.

It can be very confusing, you can go to work for a company and be the hardest worker, the most upright, the most trustworthy, and they will hunt you and try to destroy you. It doesn’t make any sense until you realize they are a criminal enterprise and they can’t have someone with a sense of truth and justice in their midst. They are hunting down Christians because we are the ones standing strongest against one world government with a one world religion headed up by the Pope. This is why they are trying to destroy the US.

53 They tried to end my life in a pit and threw stones at me; 54 the waters closed over my head, and I thought I was about to perish.

I have seen this on survival shows, they know they can’t catch the animal so they try to drive it towards a trap where they can kill it. It takes planning, preparation and teamwork for them to do this. One example of those who were enemies without a cause hunting you like a bird: when JFK was killed a police officer named Tibbits was also killed. For years this was a bizarre part of the story because no one believed Oswald killed him so why did the conspirators target this guy? It turns out his nickname was JFK because of how closely he resembled the president. The conspirators did not anticipate the Zapruder film, but they did anticipate more than 3 gun shots. So they needed to switch bodies with the president with a man who had only been killed with 3 shots from the rear. However, it was a complete failure which is why the man working on making Tibbits look like JFK removed his brain as there was no other way to hide the paths of the bullets. In the end the autopsy done in Washington was of the policeman Tibbits, not JFK, neither Bobby or Jacqueline thought the body was JFK, and the brain was brought in later, after the body, of a third person.

55 I called on your name, Lord, from the depths of the pit.

This is where we are now, the earth is filled with violence and with blood. They can’t hide it anymore and it seems all of the elites are completely dominated with these satanic secret societies. Ghislaine Maxwell was just found guilty, she is looking at a possible 65 years in prison, she still has another upcoming trial, and i suspect there are a hundred very powerful people who see this and are terrified. They had 100 witnesses in the Ghislain Maxwell trial even though they only used four. This victory will embolden them in future trials. This conviction establishes the island as a pedophile island used to illegally traffic underage girls. There are witnesses, there are videotapes, flight logs, photographs, and who knows, Maxwell may cooperate.

56 You heard my plea: “Do not close your ears to my cry for relief.”

Now is the time for God’s people to cry for relief. Not to the courts or the unrighteous judge, but to God himself. Cry concerning these pedophile rings, cry concerning election fraud, cry concerning the travesty at the border, concerning the illegitimate Biden regime, concerning inflation, concerning the genocidal Covid policies.

57 You came near when I called you, and you said, “Do not fear.”

We are not alone, in fact we are the 99% and God will hear our voice and God intends to deal with this. The Lord told us He would. They are the tares that have grown up alongside us and will be tossed into the fire.

58 You, Lord, took up my case; you redeemed my life.

I am very impressed with those who have taken up the case in this last year. Rudy Giuliani, Sydney Powell, Mike Lindell, Steve Bannon, just to name a few. There are people of conscience, Godly people, who have answered the bell and risen to the challenge. I heard Bannon say “We love the fight”, I love that attitude. We have seen MTG take up the cause of the January 6th protestors who are being abused in prison. We have seen Revolver news take up the cause and expose the FBI running entrapment schemes.

59 Lord, you have seen the wrong done to me. Uphold my cause!

There are plenty of Youtube videos showing the wrong that is being done, the response should be to uphold their cause. I saw on the news all these stories about the deplorables so I decided to see for myself and went to the first stop the steal rally in Washington DC and talked to them. They had a cause and I wanted to stand with them to uphold their cause. I also learned about the vaccine. According to the basic claim you are helping society if you get vaccinated. So I checked the data, CNN has a website showing the vaccinated countries and how many are vaccinated. I figured if getting vaccinated really does make a significant difference we will see a 50% drop in deaths since they got the vaccine or some other really significant number. Instead I saw the opposite. The countries with the highest vaccination rates have some of the highest mortality rates whereas those countries with around 1% vaccination rates have the lowest. The countries with the highest vaccination rates are now seeing a huge spike in this Omicron and Delta cases. Whereas for the countries with the lowest vaccination rates the pandemic is over. So I looked closer, let's just look at 2021 since that is when the vaccine would really have had an impact. I found that 94%, 96%, even 98% of their deaths took place in 2021 after vaccinating their entire country. The vaccine is the pandemic.

60 You have seen the depth of their vengeance,
all their plots against me.

The kidnapping attempt of governor Whitmer and the January 6th "insurrection" were examples of the depth of their vengeance and their plot against MAGA. It was the Deep state trying to discredit MAGA. The pandemic and the vaccine are also their plot against us. Who could have imagined the depth of their vengeance?

61 Lord, you have heard their insults, all their plots against me— 62 what my enemies whisper and mutter against me all day long.

Deplorables, insurrectionists, racists, white supremacists, homophobic, and on and on.

63 Look at them! Sitting or standing, they mock me in their songs. 64 Pay them back what they deserve, Lord, for what their hands have done.

Yes pray that God would honor His word, that they would reap what they have sowed. Recently a man on a phone call with Joe Biden said "Let's go Brandon" to which Biden replied "Yes, I agree, Let's go Brandon". This can be viewed as code for "F*** Joe Biden" but in reality it is far more about the lies and censorship the mainstream media says. It was alarming that the President of the US could be so clueless. His undeniable dementia was put on display for the whole world to see. However, this was not what the media saw, they saw this as "insurrection". These are the same people who showed a picture of a decapitated President Trump, who portrayed Caesar wearing a Trump mask being stabbed in the park every night, who six days into his presidency called for his removal by any means possible. The problem isn't that they are stupid it is that they are wicked and evil.

65 Put a veil over their hearts, and may your curse be on them!

Beautiful! This is what they have tried to do to us, to put a veil over our heart so we would not see and not know the truth. They have tried to put a curse on us, well may that curse rebound and land on them.

66 Pursue them in anger and destroy them from under the heavens of the Lord.

They pursued us, so Lord pursue them! They have tried to destroy us from under heaven so Lord destroy them from under the heavens.

Lamentations 4:1-12 Unbelief

This chapter is the photographic negative of the gospel. The gospel is filled with testimonies of people who were poor but now are rich, who were destitute or ruined or drug addicts or in one way or another in a terrible situation but their life was turned around with the gospel. We call that to “reverse the curse”. Well now that all those Jesus freaks are gone the blessing that came with them is unravelling as well.

1 How is the gold become dim! how is the most pure gold changed! The stones of the sanctuary are poured out at the head of every street. 2 The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold,
How are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!

I visited Taiwan in the 1980s and this is the way they viewed the US. They would talk of how tall and how strong the Americans were. The country was viewed as being very rich and the people very esteemed.

3 Even the jackals draw out the breast, they give suck to their young ones: The daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness. 4 The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst: The young children ask bread, and no man breaketh it unto them.

Wow. They used to look on them as fine gold, beautiful earthen pitchers, a work of art. Now they are being compared to jackals and ostriches for cruelty. Their children are starving in the streets and they ignore them. This has been a complaint for years that kids in the inner city are ignored, that is why they get into gangs. The parents are single parents, they are working two jobs, they need assistance, after school programs, and yet the Americans ignore the kids when even Jackals will act like a community, instead they are like ostriches that bury their head in the sand and ignore their own children.

5 They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: They that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.

This is what is about to happen and it is just. When they were feeding delicately at some fancy restaurant did they care about these desolate wandering the streets? When they were being brought up in luxury were they concerned about kids digging through garbage dumps? So then, as you have done it will be done unto you. The main lesson of the Lord’s command to do unto others as you would have them do unto you is to treat people with mercy. They didn’t treat others with mercy and now the the tables have been turned. One last chance to repent, like the thief on the cross and admit you deserve your judgement.

6 For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom,
That was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands were laid upon her.

There are two raptures of the Christians. Many are raptured prior to the tribulation like Noah who escaped the flood. The rest are delivered out of the tribulation like Lot who was rescued from Sodom and Gomorrah. Lamentations is giving us an eyewitness account of what it is like for those in the tribulation who were not raptured beforehand. It is a warning that all who fear the Lord will heed.

7 Her nobles were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk; They were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was as of sapphire. 8 Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: Their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.

We have seen this in the US as well. We now have gyms everywhere, for people to go to the gym is common these days. Fifty years ago or seventy years ago after the War you didn’t see this anywhere. This is not something that 70% of the world does, this is something the rich and the elite can afford. What you consider common in the US is still quite extraordinary for the majority of people on this planet.

9 They that are slain with the sword are better than they that are slain with hunger; For these pine away, stricken through, for want of the fruits of the field.

Take a look at poorer countries, the vast majority of the population will have a garden, raise chickens, do things to supplement their food, even have a cow. Americans have no idea how to do any of that. So what should you do if you are left behind? If it were me I would become much more bold, no way I’m going to stop speaking, you will have to kill me. I would much rather be a martyr at this point than to try and survive for three years. I don’t want to be Lot being saved by the skin of my teeth in a very humiliating way.

10 The hands of the pitiful women have boiled their own children; They were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.

Do you really want to go through that? Take a stand for the Lord otherwise the depth that you will sink to will scar you for eternity. If you watch the TV series "The Wire" which describes drug dealers and the police in Baltimore, you see that some of the mothers push their own kids to do that job. They call them "dragon ladies". They live in luxury while their husband serves out a life sentence their kid has to go out onto the streets to keep her happy. There are women in this country that have boiled their own children. As you have done it will be done unto you.

11 Jehovah hath accomplished his wrath, he hath poured out his fierce anger; And he hath kindled a fire in Zion, which hath devoured the foundations thereof.

Remember this is the goal. The corruption of the deep state is way beyond anything you would imagine. Take the most evil people, assume 1% of the world is aligned with them and will do anything they need to to get rich, advance their career, or feed their lusts. Even if 99% of the world is not that evil it still means you have 75 million who are that evil. If you ask a cartel member what it means to “do anything” or if you ask a snuff porn film maker what it means, or Satanist, or a dictator like Stalin you would have an idea of what this 1% do. They must be destroyed, they must be burned to the ground. The point of the gospel was that you don’t have to be destroyed with them, you could receive Jesus, confess your sins, repent, and obey the Lord’s word. This judgement was only for Satan and his angels, why would you give away your salvation to experience their judgement with them?

12 The kings of the earth believed not, neither all the inhabitants of the world, That the adversary and the enemy would enter into the gates of Jerusalem.

Unbelief, it is a terrible sin. Don’t say “we didn’t know”. You knew, you were warned, you mocked at any discussion of hell and judgement, you made all kinds of human arguments about why a God of Love would not judge serial killers, genocidal maniacs, sociopathic cartels, pedophile rings, satanists, etc.

Lamentations 4:13-22 Judgement begins in the House of God

13 It is because of the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, That have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her.

Dr. Fauci as head of the NIH is a “priest” in the US government. He funded research at the Wuhan Bio weapons laboratory to combine various bat viruses in order to make them more transmissible to humans, something known as “gain of function”. This is the same lab that we now believe the pandemic came from and the same type of virus the pandemic is. He was asked in a congressional hearing if he had ever funded gain of function research at the Wuhan lab and he said no. This is just one example of the sins but you can be sure that these sins have shed the blood of the just in the midst of this country.

14 They wander as blind men in the streets, they are polluted with blood, So that men cannot touch their garments.

Dr. Fauci is a good example of this. There was a time when he was on TV daily with his discussion of the pandemic, now no one will touch him.

15 Depart ye, they cried unto them, Unclean! depart, depart, touch not! When they fled away and wandered, men said among the nations, They shall no more sojourn here.

Rand Paul and Steve Bannon are the two loudest proclaiming for him to depart. Worldwide we are seeing protests in Europe, the US and other countries that used to listen to Fauci but no more. This is just, they have tried to make the unvaccinated equated with "the unclean" or "the untouchables". As you have done it will be done unto you.

16 The anger of Jehovah hath scattered them; he will no more regard them: They respected not the persons of the priests, they favored not the elders.

Fauci is an elder, a priest, a dignitary. When he is exposed as a liar who had no regard for human life people lose all respect for these leaders and have no confidence they are actually concerned for their lives.

17 Our eyes do yet fail in looking for our vain help: In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.

We thought the CDC would help, that was vain help. We thought Big Pharma could save with their vaccine, that is now been proven false as the Delta variant and Omicron variant are both very prevalent among the fully vaccinated. We had a group of Democrat legislators from Texas run to DC on a charter plane, everyone of them had been vaccinated and six tested positive for the new variant. That is about 12%!

18 They hunt our steps, so that we cannot go in our streets: Our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.

This is the plan, to force the vaccinations. So far the protests have stopped this. Universities, colleges, the military, hospitals, they have all attempted to mandate the vaccine and failed. Now that people can see that it is all but useless and that Fauci has been lying to them it is very doubtful those that didn’t trust the vaccine before will change their mind. As a result the US is now paying $30 an hour to send people door to door with the vaccine and threatening to censor your phone calls and text messages if you say anything about the vaccine. Still we have seen they are gathering a database of all that are not vaccinated. They will then institute a house quarantine on anyone not vaccinated and if they catch you outside of the house you will be charged, fined, and perhaps even put into a quarantine camp. If you said this two years ago they would have thought you needed to go to the looney bin.

19 Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the heavens: They chased us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.

This attempt to vaccinate everyone is worldwide. Which is even creepier, they won’t answer basic questions about the efficacy and risks of the vaccine and yet everyone worldwide must take it and in some countries they are doing forced vaccinations. It is in Australia, Austria, Germany, Greece, the UK, Canada, etc. etc.

20 The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of Jehovah, was taken in their pits; Of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the nations.

Again, this is a vision of what it will be like in the tribulation after the first rapture. There are many Christians who think the best strategy is to not say anything, don’t make waves, and yet they appreciate those believers who taking a stand. They thought they could simply hide in their shadow.

21 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz: The cup shall pass through unto thee also; thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked. 22 The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity: He will visit thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will uncover thy sins.

Judgement begins in the House of God. The goal is that you would confess your sins, repent of them, turn and allow the Lord to save you by obeying His commands.

Proverbs 16:10-12 Their mouth betrays justice

10 The lips of a king speak as an oracle, and his mouth does not betray justice. 11 Honest scales and balances belong to the Lord; all the weights in the bag are of his making. 12 Kings detest wrongdoing, for a throne is established through righteousness.

Fauci betrays justice. He is not speaking with an honest scale. In one hearing he categorically denies having financed gain of function research. In the next hearing he admits he financed gain of function research but insists that didn't kill anyone. A year ago he insisted the evidence was clear that the virus originated from natural origins and not from a lab. We now know there is no evidence at all that this originated naturally and all evidence points to a lab origin. When he pointed away from the lab he was privately thanked by people who work in that lab doing gain of function research. Because of his connections to the lab where the virus originated he should have been one of the very first to be aware of what had happened yet he was advising the president to not shut travel to Wuhan, he did not have the PPE ordered and as a result we didn't have adequate PPE at the start of the pandemic, and he said the evidence was overwhelming that HCQ was not effective at treating Covid19 and instead was dangerous. These decisions are all responsible for deaths and are either due to clear and undeniable deceit or else gross negligence. He held up Cuomo as the gold standard for following the guidelines and castigated Desantis, though we now know it was exactly the opposite and Cuomo may yet be prosecuted for the deaths of people due to his policies.

The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the Elders

18 Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say I am?” 19 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.” 20 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “God’s Messiah.”

This is reported in all three gospels, only in Luke does it not mention the part about Peter telling the Lord He didn’t need to go to the cross. I liken this account to the 9th of Av when the spies returned from spying out the good land to give their report. Since Luke is referring to those who are raptured prior to the tribulation, representing Joshua and Caleb there is no reference to this part of the story.

21 Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.


Do you have a problem with this? They are given a revelation of Jesus that they are to keep to themselves. Obviously when we read the book of Acts we learn that they were very vocal to say that Jesus was the Christ, the son of God, but at this point in time they need to keep quiet because it is through the resurrection and ascension that God designated Jesus as the Son of God.

22 And he said, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.”

He must be killed. Pr 22:3 The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty. Jesus saw the danger, was He prudent? Did He take refuge, did He advise the disciples to hide themselves? Jesus continued to keep going to Jerusalem and the cross, so was He simple? Did He pay the penalty? Was He a ransom for our sin? He must be raised to life. There are many out there who will try every possible way to avoid having Jesus as Lord. They will go so far as to crucify Him. They are conceited, they are envious, they would rather fail than have Jesus be Lord. Pr 22:4 Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life. Clearly the Lord was not simple, He saw the danger, but He humbled Himself to be a servant, to fear the Lord. There are people who do see the danger approaching from this pandemic, from climate change, and from these protests. They see the schools shutting down, they see visions of armed riots, and they see the collapse of the economy. So what do we do, are we afraid of Herod the Tetrarch who goes around chopping heads off, or do we fear the Lord who has set His face to go to Jerusalem? Are you going to run and hide yourself, or are you going to proclaim the kingdom? Did you really think you would cast out demons without a fight? Pr 21:12 The Righteous One takes note of the house of the wicked and brings the wicked to ruin. That is why it must be this way. The Lord is prudent, He does see the danger, and He fears God. Man’s sin is going to be judged, that is the danger, so He became a ransom for us to pay the price for us. Pr 21:22 One who is wise can go up against the city of the mighty and pull down the stronghold in which they trust. Think of the public school system. For inner city youths, for young men of color, for the poor it is not too much to say they have been a failure. The United States generally scores 28th on international exams comparing school systems. However, we spend far more per student than the countries scoring at the top of these exams. When you consider how we do for the money we are far worse than 28th. This is because the Son of Man was rejected by the elders. The first year they did one of these international exams Finland scored first. All the reporters ran to the political leaders to ask them what they did. They were confused, they hadn’t done anything. They had simply told the educators to figure out the best way to educate and the politicians had basically kept their hands off. In the US controlling funding for the school system is very big money, no way the political leaders, the “chief priests and rulers” will keep their hands off. That is why we have one of the worst education systems “for the money”. On the one hand the death and resurrection of Jesus demonstrated that He was the one chosen by God, just like Aaron’s budded rod did. Pr 21:15 When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers. On the other hand Jesus' crucifixion becomes a judgement on the elders and chief priests who rejected Him and sentenced Him to die.

23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.

This chapter is written to those who want to be the Lord’s disciple. Pr 20:6 Many claim to have unfailing love, but a faithful person who can find? You want to be able to heal the sick, cast out demons, and proclaim the kingdom. The Lord is faithful, are you? For two thousand years there have been many Christians in the church meetings claiming to have unfailing love for the Lord. But, during the tribulation will the Lord be able to find any that are truly faithful?

24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. 25 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self? 26 Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. 27 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”

These words are written for our admonition. The Lord’s crucifixion and resurrection was a very big day in human history, but the 2nd coming of the Lord is also a very big day in human history.

15th of Av in Luke is the day they go up the Mount of transfiguration

28 About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray. 29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. 30 Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. 31 They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem.

This word “departure” is a direct reference to the Exodus. Jesus was sacrificed as our Passover, His death and resurrection was His exodus, and He opened the way for all of us to cross the Red Sea and follow Him. Likewise at the end of the age there will be a transfiguration, and some of us will see the Lord in glory on the mountain top. The firstfruits will be raptured to the Lord. At that time we will see Moses and Elijah, the two witnesses. So look at this chapter as a word to us at this moment in time.

One of the big issues with this chapter is that it says “about eight days after Jesus said this” whereas in the gospels of Matthew and Mark it says after six days. So which is it? Some say that the rapture takes place after six days of God creating man, the six thousand years. However it is about 8 days after the Lord giving the word to follow Him to take up your cross. The 8th day is a new beginning, it is the day of resurrection. The rapture is a transfiguration and it is a new beginning.

I listened to a youtube video of a Pastor who had a prophetic dream. His dream saw the catastrophe we would have in March and in June, he saw the Lord pointing to these months. He saw the riots and protests. He saw that this would get worse in September and then He saw that in November it would be catastrophic.

He also said there are some here that will not taste death until they see the Kingdom of God. Jesus is our salvation (not guns, not gold) and there are some of us that will be raptured to the Lord before they taste death.

32 Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.

It is time for us to wake up. The rapture will certainly be a wake up call for all of God’s people who are left behind. Isn't it interesting the times we are told about the disciples being sleepy. The enemies strategy, his TV, his drugs, his music, movies, all that stuff is designed to cause the believers to fall asleep.

33 As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.) 34 While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35 A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.”

Instead of making fun of Peter, let’s all admit we are about to enter into a terrifying time, none of us knows what to do or what to say. So then, once again, forget everything else, just focus on one thing Jesus is the Son of God, the one that God has chosen, listen to Him.

36 When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves and did not tell anyone at that time what they had seen.

The Lord’s first coming was somewhat private, only the disciples saw Him, the second coming will be public, in glory, and at that time every knee will bow. Likewise this first rapture will be somewhat private unlike the one at the end of the age.

37 The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him. 38 A man in the crowd called out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child. 39 A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him.

What a wonderful picture of the Black Lives Matter protests. The looting, the rioting, the anti semitic comments, the vandalism against various statues, it is like an epileptic boy having convulsions that throw him into the fire and try to destroy him. These things damage the movement, they damage the community, they damage the people involved. His father is there, men that were involved in the Civil Rights Movement in the sixties, and they are praying someone will help their children, someone will cast this demon out of them.

If you want to follow the Lord you have to be all in.

40 I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they could not.” 41 “You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”

Why is the Black Lives Movement like what we have seen? Over 500 of their protests became violent. They call looting "reparations". They destroy local businesses, many of which are black owned. The leaders have bought millions of dollars of real estate and haven't spent anything on the inner city. Giving money to the BLM movement is actually giving money to the Democrat party. So then why are these kids suckered by what is clearly an ugly political dirty trick. Two reasons, they are unbelieving, it seems to them there has not been any progress, they don’t believe their parents know what they are doing. The second reason is this is a perverse generation. The looters are perverse, the rioters are perverse, racists slurs are perverse. There are athletes that used to be millionaires, but have lost everything and they blame “the Jews”. Be a man, take responsibility for your own actions, your own perverseness. That is why you are now broke.

42 Even while the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, healed the boy and gave him back to his father. 43 And they were all amazed at the greatness of God. While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples, 44 “Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men.” 45 But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.

The situation is about to get very bad. The only way to prepare yourself is the word of God. We are going to be delivered into the hands of men, do not lean to your own understanding, hold fast to Jesus. Over the last year we shared that the vaccine would be mandated, that was absurd we were told, that would be unconstitutional. Biden and Psaki both denied it. Then when they mandated it for Federal workers we said it would be mandated for everyone. Again, denial and again that became reality. We said they would mandate it for kids, denial, but it became reality. Now we know that they will fine people who are not vaccinated, they will put them under house arrest, if they find them outside of their home it will be a felony. Ultimately crossing state lines will only be legal with a vaccine passport. It is sad how many Christians are "against the mandate" and yet are complying with these orders and telling others to do so as well. The reason the Son of Man is delivered into their hands is because He is not complying with their orders.

46 An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.47 Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him. 48 Then he said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest.”

I saw something, protesters tore down a statue in the UK and replaced it with a statue of one of the leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement. It is a fork in the road, and trying to boost your own ego is the wrong way to go. The reason they provoke others by attacking George Washington and Abraham Lincoln is because they are conceited and they are envious. This is a very basic lesson for believers, that pride goeth before a fall, or “death to ego”. There are going to be a lot of believers who after the rapture are essentially beginning in “first grade”. There is only one position in this army, a follower of Jesus.

49 “Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.” 50 “Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”

This is another error I have seen them make. They are telling everyone who is protesting what they have to stand for. Some people are concerned about climate change, some people are concerned about the ethical treatment of animals, and some are concerned about racism. None of them are against you, they are all for righteousness. They are all for the Kingdom. Do not stop them, if they aren’t against righteousness then they are for you. This is another elementary school lesson, there are many ministries in the Body of Christ but one body.

51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. 52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him; 53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. 54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?” 55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them. 56 Then he and his disciples went to another village.

The Lord has appointed us to proclaim the kingdom, to cast out demons and to heal the sick. He hasn’t appointed us as Judge and executioner. Jesus is Lord. We proclaim the kingdom, He will do the rest. If Facebook doesn’t welcome you do not pray that God curses them, merely go to Rumble or Getter or to some other village. There are those who want to control the "goal of the revolution". To them the goal is not Jerusalem, it is some lesser city in this age. They don't have eternity in view. Maybe their goal is the 2022 midterms or the Covid mandate. Once again, anyone who is for righteousness is not against us, however the Lord knew the foundation of this revolution would be His blood. That is the only thing that will give us a rock to stand on.

57 As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” 58 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

Many people think they need a budget, they want committees to raise money for the work. The Lord has turned the entire age and He didn’t have any of that. What you need is the Lord. If you don’t have the Lord all of that is a waste, and if you do have the Lord none of that will make any difference. "Follow the Lord wherever He goes"? The Lord said if they don't welcome you in this city shake the dust off and go to the next. They are not welcoming us in NYC, can't work here, can't eat at a restaurant here, soon may not be allowed to worship indoors here. So then, shake off the dust (job, house, possessions) and move to the next city. In other words following the Lord means no place to lay your head.

59 He said to another man, “Follow me.” But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” 60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”

There was no social security in those days, instead there were familial responsibilities. We still have familial responsibilities, Paul said that if we don’t take care of our family we are worse than an infidel. But, you can’t use this as an excuse to not follow the Lord. Examine yourself and examine your heart.

61 Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.” 62 Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”

It sounds reasonable, but the Lord’s picture translates what they are really saying. They are plowing the field and yet are looking back from where they came from. It is like Lot’s wife who looked back no Sodom and was turned to a pillar of salt. If you want to follow the Lord you have to be all in.

Exodus 15 -- Defeating tyranny in 10 steps, part 1

1 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord: “I will sing to the Lord, for he is highly exalted. Both horse and driver he has hurled into the sea.

Tyranny controls people by creating a terrifying enemy whether internal or external. In this case it was the Egyptian army. They will harass you, imprison you, attack with a thug caste system, and seek to control what you say and think. Dissent will be equated to treason. To “sing to the Lord, for He is highly exalted” would have been equal to treason to Pharaoh. They impose this tyranny with both the horse and the rider. So the government leaders will call for censorship and make free speech illegal. Protests are now evidence of insurrection. Meanwhile the horses of Big Tech and the mainstream media carry this message far and wide. This victory throws both the politician trying to become a dictator and the large corporations supporting that effort into the sea. This is what the recall efforts for Newsom, Cuomo and others will do. This is what the laws passed by Poland, Hungary and proposed by Florida will do. This is what the collapse of their ratings will do.

2 “The Lord is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

The Lord is our strength. The church is headed up by the Lord and follows Him, they will see the victory. Only 3% of those living in the American colonies rose up to fight against Britain, the Superpower of the day, and they defeated them. It doesn’t take every Christian on earth or even every Christian in the US, just a portion of them following the Lord will be enough.

3 The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is his name.

It is time that the Lord Jesus, the warrior, be revealed to the world.

4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his army he has hurled into the sea. The best of Pharaoh’s officers are drowned in the Red Sea.

Tyrannies and wannabe dictators will target individuals. We saw this at Smith College with the phony “Eating while Black” scandal. Four people were fired from their jobs or lost their jobs over the scandal and they attempted to get everyone else at the University to conform ideologically even though it was plainly evident to be bogus. They target universities because they are historically a hotbed of activism. Well, you reap what you sow. The Lord in turn hurls their best officers into the sea. Twitter, Google, Youtube, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, CNN, NY Times and Disney are just a few of the examples of their “best officers”. All of these companies have been exposed and people in the US and around the world are leaving these services as fast as they can. CNN and MSNBC are mocked daily. Brian Stelter's ratings are abysmal. CNN producers are being exposed as pedophiles. Ghislaine Maxwell's conviction is simply the beginning of the end for them.

5 The deep waters have covered them; they sank to the depths like a stone.


Stock prices are highly leveraged based on projected growth rates over the next five years. A company that is projected to grow by 15% per year due to rapid expansion into a worldwide market who now is seeing a 15% decrease due to their blatant censorship and arrogance could see a very rapid drop in stock price of 80% or more. In other words the stock will sink like a stone. At the moment Twitter is the only one that has taken a massive hit, but the Lord is about to hit them with a severe judgement.

6 Your right hand, Lord, was majestic in power. Your right hand, Lord, shattered the enemy.


Apple, Amazon and Google all acted together to try and destroy Parler. That violates antitrust laws. When companies violate antitrust laws the response is to “shatter them”, break them up. During the tribulation they will be shattered by the Lord's right hand.

7 “In the greatness of your majesty you threw down those who opposed you. You unleashed your burning anger; it consumed them like stubble.

Microsoft and the other tech giants want to identify every computer with a “fingerprint” so that not only can they delete posts they disagree with but they can also go and shut down your computer as well. Imagine if in the very near future when Twitter deletes your tweet not only is the tweet deleted but your computer is shut down as well. This is the ultimate dream of tyrants, to be able to have an internal surveillance system so powerful that they can monitor every person what they are saying and then harass and target individuals. Well, the Lord has His own internal surveillance system and He knows who opposes Him and He will throw them down. He will unleash His anger on them and you will see their laptops being shut down like a grass fire sweeping through the plains or the slopes of Colorado.

8 By the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up. The surging waters stood up like a wall; the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.

What we are seeing today in the US has caused great indignation to the Lord.

9 The enemy boasted, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake them. I will divide the spoils; I will gorge myself on them. I will draw my sword and my hand will destroy them.’

We see this with every tyrant. They send out a thug caste of scary young men in order to shut down society. Already in Europe they want to divide up the failed restaurants and give them to a communal ownership. First you bankrupt these private businesses and then you can just take them over without even having to pay a dime. This is how they will pay for their new “communist system” by taking everything the middle class has built up.

10 But you blew with your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.


Twitter will sink like a stone, Antifa will sink like lead.

11 Who among the gods is like you, Lord? Who is like you— majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?


The Lord delivered Israel from the Egyptians, he delivered the Americans from the British and He can deliver us now at the end of this age.

12 “You stretch out your right hand, and the earth swallows your enemies.


We saw this during WWII. The US getting involved was like the Lord stretching out His right hand. Once that happened the earth swallowed up the fascists and those belonging to the emperor.

13 In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling.

We have been redeemed by the Lord, we belong to Him. Anyone tries to mess with us they are messing with the Lord because we belong to Him.

Exodus 15 -- Defeating tyranny in ten steps, part 2

14 The nations will hear and tremble; anguish will grip the people of Philistia.


Ha! Tyrants try to seize power by creating terrifying internal and external enemies. Terrorists, domestic terrorists, pandemics, any excuse to suspend the rule of law. Well, when they see the Lord destroy the huge tech giants as well as all those politicians who tried to become tyrants then they will be the ones who are terrified. Tyrants will set up a gulag, a prison system outside of the law. Well, once again when they see what the Lord does to these ones they will become imprisoned, anguish will grip them.

15 The chiefs of Edom will be terrified, the leaders of Moab will be seized with trembling, the people of Canaan will melt away; 16 terror and dread will fall on them. By the power of your arm they will be as still as a stone— until your people pass by, Lord, until the people you bought pass by.

The Lord has given the order, the church is on the move, we are passing by, setting up our own economy, heading to the Lord’s Holy dwelling. This will be the promised “city on a hill” as an example to the rest of the world. Woke companies being exposed, companies like the NBA with incestuous relationship with China have seen their ratings crash and burn, and the Chinese themselves are seeing the entire world rise up in total disgust against them as evidence that they released the pandemic intentionally comes out as well as the genocide they perpetrate against their own people.

17 You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of your inheritance— the place, Lord, you made for your dwelling, the sanctuary, Lord, your hands established.

Every knee will bow, every tongue confess when they see the Lord’s shining wisdom in what He has built up in the church.

18 “The Lord reigns for ever and ever.” 19 When Pharaoh’s horses, chariots and horsemen went into the sea, the Lord brought the waters of the sea back over them, but the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground. 20 Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron’s sister, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed her, with timbrels and dancing. 21 Miriam sang to them: “Sing to the Lord, for he is highly exalted. Both horse and driver he has hurled into the sea.” 22 Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the Desert of Shur. For three days they traveled in the desert without finding water. 23 When they came to Marah, they could not drink its water because it was bitter. (That is why the place is called Marah.) 24 So the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What are we to drink?” 25 Then Moses cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. He threw it into the water, and the water became fit to drink. There the Lord issued a ruling and instruction for them and put them to the test. 26 He said, “If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you.” 27 Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees, and they camped there near the water.

This is what happened when people left Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Google etc. It took awhile to set up alternate sites like Gab, Parler, Rumble, DuckDuckGo, Dissenter, and so on. You have to learn to actually go to the websites you need like Mike Lindell’s site and other sites. I don’t allow CNN or these other sites to gather my approved news anymore, I have to search around and dig, but Gateway Pundit, BonginoReport, Revolver, and Veritas are all good sites, National File sometimes has good stuff, the Daily Wire is well worth subscribing to, Newsmax, and Epoch times.

Hebrews 1 -- Let us learn from the best

1 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe.


If we want to be river crossers (Hebrews) then we need to listen to the word of His Son. Jesus is superior to the angels and prophets. There might be some hidden treasures of wisdom with them, but we are told in Colossians that all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Jesus Christ. The Lord is heir of all things, and through Him God created the universe. So you can be quite confident that it is with His words you will discover whatever it is you need.

3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.


When you are in the battle you need to be sustained by the powerful word. Also, the Lord is the “exact representation”. Too many people are careless and inexact. I have recently seen people equate “Day of the Lord” with “End of Days” and “Apocalypse” with “Armageddon”. This is inexact.

4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.


When we get a word from Jesus we are getting a much superior word. Jesus is Lord and is sitting at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. You are getting a word from the throne. Angels are not on the throne, they are the servants. They do not inherit all things, they did not create the universe, they are not the radiance of God’s glory, they are not the exact representation of His being. We want to cross this river, we need to be very particular, very specific about who we get our word from. Prophets spoke the word of God but Balaam was also a prophet who spoke the word of God. Angels are servants of God but Lucifer can also disguise himself as an angel of light.

5 For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father”? Or again, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son”? 6 And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God’s angels worship him.”


God will speak to the angels and give them a word, He will speak to the prophets and give them a word, but that relationship is not on the same level as His relationship with His son. God wants all the angels, all the servants, all the messengers to worship His Son. This is a key goal of this age, that every knee would bow, that every voice would worship the Lord Jesus.

7 In speaking of the angels he says, “He makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire.”


They are spirits, a breath, a spoken word, and a burning flame. They can animate, they can enlighten. But they are not forever. They do not sit on the throne, they do not wield the sceptre. Why do you think the call for justice is being ignored? Why do you think we are getting lip service from public officials about fighting for the integrity of the elections while doing nothing?

8 But about the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom. 9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.”

Maybe, if we love righteousness and hate wickedness we should listen to the Lord. Why not ask the guy who has gone before us and been victorious? If you have Michael Jordan on your basketball team why is he sitting on the bench? In the same way since we are on Jesus’ team let’s make sure He is on the floor, He is the one doing the speaking.

10 He also says, “In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.


The Lord is laying a foundation. He has done it before, He knows what He is doing. Have faith in Him. We have a chance to learn from the very best.

11 They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. 12 You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.”


The sooner you realize this the better. The “great reset” is all about the worldly system perishing and wearing out. We have seen many “great resets” in the past, we just call them a collapse of the empire. “The Fall of the Roman Empire” for example. The wealthiest and richest people see their kingdom crumbling, they know that it is wearing out and they fear change. The French revolution was change. The Russian revolution was change. The cultural revolution in China was change. They hope to do a “great reset” so that they control the change. They understand that the world’s economy is unsustainable, it is going to go over a cliff. Generally when that happens the bigger they are the harder they fall. So the great reset is their attempt to make sure they cushion the fall with lots and lots of poor people. They are keenly aware that their years will end. John D Rockefeller was the richest man in the world in 1920, 100 years later many of his descendants are simply middle class, and his family is no longer a ruling power.

13 To which of the angels did God ever say, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”?


Make no mistake, making the enemies of Jesus a footstool for His feet is a key goal for God during this age. If you are the body of Christ, then surely you know who the feet are. There are some very humble believers, they are not billionaires, they are not the “elite”, they are not the “experts” you see on TV telling you what you are supposed to think. But by the end of this age those billionaires and elites will be a place for the most humble members of the Body to rest. We have an expression “take a load off your feet”. These members are the ones who are carrying the load. Well the rich, the famous, the “beautiful people” are destined to become a beautiful footstool fit for the king.

14 Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?


So then, let’s talk about the salvation that we are to inherit.

The AntiChrist gets a 3 1/2 year ministry just as Jesus did. All those who were not crystal clear on choosing Jesus will be able to see the contrast. He will speak blasphemies, great swelling words, he will be a master of intrigue, and He will spread his message of peace and security to all (except of course those who worship Jesus, they will get their heads chopped off).

Then just as Jesus ministry was cut off by the cross, the antichrist's ministry will be cut off by the Great Tribulation, judgement on this earth.

Jesus ministry was His making a covenant with us with His body and blood. Antichrist will likewise "confirm the covenant with the many" but that will be a deceit.

What happens to the Christian nations after the rapture?

Luke 11:24 “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ 25 When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. 26 Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first.”

This is what happened, Jesus cast out these unclean spirits, in response we cleaned up our house, we swept it and put it in order. Now these unclean spirits went through arid places, desert places, third world countries and could find no rest. So they see how nice the US or Europe is looking and so they want to go back to those countries. But they need 7 other spirits more wicked than the first. This is the apostasy designed to turn the lampstand away from God. What is restraining these evil spirits? The light, the salt, the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit steps aside "the final condition is worse than the first".
