Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

Ezekiel 35 The Lord has heard the revilings of Hollywood

1 Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it, 3 and say unto it, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make thee a desolation and an astonishment.

Who is this Mount Seir? It is easy to know that it refers to the Edomites, that they were the descendants of Esau, the twin brother of Jacob. He is the older brother that will serve the younger. He is the profane one who sold his birthright for a pot of beans. He is the one that Jacob dressed up like and acted like he was Esau to steal the blessing. To be fair to Jacob since Esau had already sold the birthright the blessing for the firstborn should have been Jacob’s. They celebrated all kinds of evil that befell Israel. According to Romans 9 Abraham’s seed is through Jacob and not Esau, Paul compares these two to the flesh and spirit warring with each other. But, they are both the seed of Abraham. Our heritage according to the Spirit is the word of God, so then, what would be the fleshly version of the word of God? This is Hollywood. If you look at all the great movies and their themes they are all Biblical. Recently Hollywood has been completely focused on apocalyptic themes. But previously major themes for Hollywood movies have been of resurrection, or David versus Goliath, or transformation, or forgiveness, or mercy, or even salvation. Christians are supposed to be the people of the book but more and more they have been corrupted and become the people of the movies.

4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah. 5 Because thou hast had a perpetual enmity, and hast given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end; 6 therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: since thou hast not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue thee.

This is what predictive programming is. People in Hollywood are aware of this coming calamity and they think it is funny to encode this in their movies. They are spectators, cheering the coming destruction, or as the Lord says “they love blood”. They want everyone to know that they knew and if you say why didn’t you tell us they’ll say we did but you were too stupid to see it. There is a perpetual enmity between Hollywood and born again Christians. Even the term “born again” reminds you of Jacob getting the birthright from Esau.

7 Thus will I make mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation; and I will cut off from it him that passeth through and him that returneth. 8 And I will fill its mountains with its slain: in thy hills and in thy valleys and in all thy watercourses shall they fall that are slain with the sword. 9 I will make thee a perpetual desolation, and thy cities shall not be inhabited; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

Oops, think how far Hollywood has fallen in just two years. Because of the pandemic movie theaters have gone bankrupt and are being shut down. Many are located in Malls which are also going bankrupt and being shut down. Because of this the “big releases” of new movies have gone out with a whimper. But imagine what happens when the whole world sees that they knew about the coming destruction and didn’t tell anyone. They will be vilified and reviled.

10 Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas Jehovah was there: 11 therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast showed out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I shall judge thee.

Hollywood is composed of storytellers. They have even dabbled in Bible stories like Jesus Christ Superstar (a broadway musical but still part of the performing arts) and the Ten Commandments. These are the two nations of the Jews and the Christians. They have truly shown their hatred of these ones. For example they ridiculed and mocked Mister Rogers Neighborhood. A Christian ministry to children. They set up their own vile shows like Captain Kangaroo and a bunch of garbage cartoons for Saturday morning. The Lord is going to do unto them according to their anger.

12 And thou shalt know that I, Jehovah, have heard all thy revilings which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to devour. 13 And ye have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard it. 14 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate. 15 As thou didst rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

When this judgement comes Hollywood will realize and come to know that the Lord heard all of their blasphemy. All the vile things they said, all of their revilings of Christians. He has seen how they magnified themselves against the Lord Jesus. During the millenial reign the whole earth will rejoice and they will be made desolate.

I am looking forward to the Tribulation

But this is because my view of it has changed dramatically.

What was it that kicked off the apostolic age? It was Jesus ascension. I think that the rapture will kick off a similar "golden age" for the gospel. It will be miraculous with an incredible harvest. I think that the Lord has planned everything to maximize the number of people who receive Him and are saved. When Jesus went to the Father in the ascension He poured out His spirit and His apostles did the works that they had seen Him do. Likewise when the rapture takes place I think the Spirit will be poured out and you will see believers stand up around the world doing the works that we have seen done by Jesus and the apostles. Will Satan kill them? Sure, but that is because he has lost. Killing the believers is an admission of defeat, it is like saying "uncle" in a fight.

I Send Destruction 4-5-23@ 5:14pm


Amos 3:7

Father God what are you going to do to this nation America? I am going to tear it in half tomorrow. From the inside out. Both politically and physically. Great devastation and destruction I send from within the ground. I shake and I quake this ground O harlot. Now has come the time to be called the divided states physically, civilly and politically. I divide you now in every way, civil war, political war, families divided and now physical dividing of your land. I bring devastation, a time of woe, a time of sorrows, woe upon woe, devastation and sorrows. My angel of death strikes will he pass over you?

Here are my seven thunders

1. I command to the heavens to the planets to no longer spin but to have strange anomalies by those observing them. Stars will fall from heaven and storms from the Sun will lash out at the Earth. This will allow the heat of the sun intensify. These storms will make it difficult to breathe properly for those not fully trusting me.

2. Great holes shall open up in the earth and oceans deep, great cavities within the earth. This will release demons and fallen angels imprisoned in the stones and mountains. The ocean and waters will go down as they fill up these great cavities.

3. The Nephilim shall return. The three days of darkness. Nephilim technology will be brought to the surface. The cloning technology and the Lazarus machine, allowing minds to be transferred into clones. Antichrist will possess the last piece of technology he needs to complete his mark.

4. A curse upon mankind. Because of man's stiff neck he will become the food supply.

5. In addition an invasion of aliens. Demons, hybrids and fallen ones in disguise. Some with false peace and false wisdom, others with cruelty taking the shape of reptilians.

6. Removal of all remaining plants and vegetation. Including that which man has altered. I take the animals and plants including the creatures in the water.

7. A command issued from heaven for the collapsing of Earth's structure. Crumbling, greater holes, cave ins and sink holes.

This month of April it all changes for your world.

Beware the leaven of the Pharisees

12 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

I have heard that pastors have agreed to not talk politics from the pulpit. However, I was watching a docudrama on British government under Wilson and he said "everything is politics".

So how exactly can you "not talk politics" from the pulpit? Are you going to not talk about the war?

How about sin, do you ignore that because it is a "political issue" as they redefine what is and is not sin?

How about crime in the city? Pastors are supposed to be shepherds, protecting the flock from the wolves, but now you have agreed to be some limp wristed useless shepherd?

What about abortion? What about hell? What about the ecumenical movement trying to create one world religion? What about the collapse of the dollar, the attempt to bring in one world currency and the mark of the beast? What about AI?

What about the fulfillment of prophecies with 911, the Banking crisis and the worldwide Pandemic?

Do you really think the government has the constitutional right to dictate to churches what they can and cannot say? Did the government have the constitutional right to shut the churches during the Pandemic?

Which do you think is right? Should the Pastors obey this rule or obey the Lord Jesus?

There is nothing hid that shall not be known

2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

This is a promise we can stand on. God says He watches to make sure every word is fulfilled. You can be sure that they can try and cover up the Hunter Biden laptop, but it will be known and proclaimed from the housetops. You can be sure Pfizer will try to hide what took place with the vaccine but that too will not be hid, rather it will be proclaimed from the housetop. You can also be sure there is something in Ukraine they are desperately trying to hide, that would explain many in our government thinking that Ukraine is the most pressing concern to the US (bigger than 100k Americans dying from Fentanyl, bigger than the attack on our food supply, bigger than the imminent collapse of the US dollar). What they are telling you is if that secret they are trying to hide is known they will be put to death, so for them it really is the biggest concern.

So then in your closet speak prayers to God and stand with those who are bringing all the secrets of wickedness to light, it is foolish to stand against them.

Be not afraid of them

4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

They are trying to make you afraid. Why do you think they want 87,000 IRS agents with guns? They know it is a huge job to make 200 million taxpayers fear. Why do you think they arrest Trump with an absurd indictment? It may look like a joke to Trump, but to you it would be serious. Without the spotlight of the media and excellent lawyers would they be able to convict you of bogus charges? They want you to fear. Why do you think they have been openly abusive to the January 6th defendants? They want you to fear. Don't get out of line or this will happen to you as well.

But know this, many of the things they are doing will get them cast into hell. They have no power to cast you into hell, far better to die for the Lord than to join with them and go to hell.

Also, get it into your head that you are not afraid to die, what you are afraid of is receiving the same judgement that they are going to receive.

Many think "if everyone who knew they were wrong would take a stand they couldn't do anything". That is known as the restrainer, the Holy Spirit operating in His body. Those saints will be taken away at the rapture prior to the tribulation getting bad. So put that thought out of your mind. Instead, think like a mighty man of David, I will stand my ground even if it is 800 against 1. All of these cowards went along with "wokism" because they thought they were part of the majority. Actually they were simply spineless cowards. They trust that you will act like a spineless coward because they are spineless cowards. Fill your spirit with faith.

Get an insurance policy, now

8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:

9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.

Confessing Jesus before men is an insurance policy.

Be rich towards God

13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.

14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

If this were you, would your brother listen to the Lord? There are judges that have been appointed as a "divider" over you. However, Jesus is the one who will judge the entire earth. He is the one who will burn up all the works on earth. Imagine you are a very successful person on earth, you might have been a chancellor of the schools, or a preeminent lawyer, or an industrialist who built an entire industry. You have amassed great wealth and now you are 80 years old. What is the point? Perhaps you see the once great education system of the US being led by despicable people. Maybe you see the great US justice system now totally depraved and run by despicable people. Maybe that great industry you built up has now taken control of the political system and is driving the country onto the rocks. You always knew that this would be the case. You always knew regardless of how rich and powerful you became one day you would be replaced by someone you had no control over. Eighty years from now will anyone even remember you or will the kingdom you built up be a pile of rubble and dust? How about 800 years from now? Do you remember Richard II? He was king 800 years ago.

15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

Everything the world does is to tell you that the things you possess will change your life. The clothes, the car, the house, the computer, etc. This is a constant lie told to you by the world. Think of this as a gauge on an airplane, if you are completely clear and at peace that your life does not consist of the things you possess, then everything is fine. But, if you are focused on buying a boat, or a new suit, or a new car, or a second house, or the latest phone, then know this gauge is giving you a warning.

16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.

19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

Consider a different parable. The ground of a certain poor man brought forth pitifully. From an early age he was despised, rejected, ridiculed and ignored. In his despair he turned to the Lord in prayer. Daily he would spend time in the word because Jesus was his only friend. He loved to serve at the soup kitchen feeling that he was at a large banquet of the king. He loved to speak to others about the Lord, feeling it was his opportunity to go to the Lord's "cocktail hour". Over the years he had laid up a lot of treasure in heaven and was rich towards God. Then one day the Lord said to him "this night thy soul shall be required of thee". Now, who is rich and who is poor? Who is going to be welcomed into eternal habitations and who will be the outcast?

And know this

This phrase means that this is in addition to everything He has already said.

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

40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

Consider a football team, they have an offense and they have a defense. On offense as a Christian there are many things you can do score and be rich with God.

But defense is a very different game from offense. I remember when I first started to play basketball, I was terrible. I had never played so couldn't really shoot or handle the ball well. But I had played other sports so I applied what I knew. I would choose to defend the best player on the other team and deny him getting the ball. I would be all over him from the minute they got the ball. I didn't care if he stood at half court or if he ran all over the court to get free. I figured if I could nullify their best scorer and if I could rebound, then I would be a valuable asset to the team. This is the attitude you should take. If you took this attitude you would never use terms like "tin foil hat conspiracy theory". The church is the apple of the Lord's eye, it is the focus of Satan's plan. Anticipating a thief breaking in to the church is a given. Expecting that thieves and liars will fill our government because that is where the money is, that is a given. The question is not if, it is how, and when. Those are the only relevant questions. I don't ask "who" because Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light. I also don't worry about where. I focus on where I am, and I have to trust that others will focus on where they are. I once played for a national championship PeeWee team, two years in a row, undefeated. We were drilled repeatedly to "do your job". I wasn't worried about anything but my job. My only concern was when we have to sit and watch the game film a few days later would I be where I was supposed to be doing what I am supposed to be doing.

The hidden things of dishonesty

4 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

This is the only verse in the New Testament using this word translated "dishonesty". It has three types of definitions.

1. the confusion of one who is ashamed of anything, sense of shame
2. ignominy, disgrace, dishonour
3. a thing to be ashamed of

There is a reason why these people would behave in a way that is obviously dishonest. They have something to hide, something they are ashamed of, something of dishonor and disgrace. For example, King Edward abdicated the throne, he tried to sell this "love story" as the reason. However, the royal family and the British government tried to hide his disgraceful collusion with Hitler to try and get back to power. The people hiding the truth were not involved in the shameful act, but if it got out the damage would be widespread. In another example one of the Cambridge spies was working as art historian at Buckingham Palace. When the Queen and the government discovered this they didn't fire him because they were afraid of the scandal it would cause.

Step 1 -- we receive mercy. We are all sinners. Each one of us has sin we are ashamed of, the Lord is merciful, He washed us white as snow, as a result of renouncing the hidden things of dishonesty we are no longer a slave to those sins. This is what every whistleblower must go through.

Psalm 83:1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

You cannot pray this prayer if you are keeping silent.

2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

If you are paying attention this is where we are right now.

3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

Do we need to listen to the crafty council? W.H.O. trying to take over sovereignty over the US, election fraud, Soros backed DAs, open border, selling out the US government to China, collapse of the US dollar, exit from Afghanistan being a quid pro quo to China for helping Biden get elected, desperate attempt to keep things in Ukraine secret as Russia threatens to make them public.

4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

This is precisely what is going on today with the US.

5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;

Edom is "red", like Rothschild (Red Shield). It is a reference to bankers and Hollywood, the evil side of the Jewish family. They claim they are Jews but actually edomites, cousins to the Jews. Ishmaelites are the Arabs. Yes, they are primarily moslem, but that is not the focus, the focus here is on where they live, the Middle East. The Hagarenes are descendants of Moab, the product of Lot's incest. But also reminiscent of "Hagar". Trying desperately to make God's promises to be fulfilled in your own flesh. This is compromised, corrupt religion.

7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

Philistines are halfway between Egypt and Israel. They are your typical nominal Christians, in name only. Amalek respresents the flesh, always warring against the Spirit and you can see Amalek has two other allies with them Gebal and Ammon.

8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.

This is a reference to Assyria, that is the Islamic state. You have three different forms of religion allied with bankers, Hollywood, the flesh, and worshippers of Moloch, Baal and Dagon. We have this "Abraham house" signifying this collusion: Judaism, Catholicism, and Islam all united in one center. They are all allied against Jesus Christ, Lord of Lords and king of Kings.

https://rumble.com/v2giskw-mudslide...-trains-and-russian-predictions-04062023.html

There is only one day in the NT that is the appointed time for the rapture and that is the Lord's table. There is only one day in the year that all Christians celebrate the Resurrection and that is Resurrection day.

I have already shared that I had a rapture dream that made me believe the rapture takes place on the Lord's day.

This resurrection day Dr. Barry Awe shares the amazing sign in the heaven that comes straight from Revelation 12 for the rapture.

Scariest Dream Anyone Has Sent Me 04/07/2023

https://rumble.com/v2go7os-scariest-dream-anyone-has-sent-me-04072023.html

THIS JUST HAPPENED TO THE SUN! GREAT CONCERN AHEAD

The Key of knowledge

52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

Knowledge is a key, it allows us to open doors. For example, how do you transmit a million different phone calls by satellite from one part of the earth to the other? To do that you need knowledge but that knowledge will open the door to do all kinds of things.

How do you "take away the key of knowledge"? One way of course is our school system. At first it appears to be very useful, teaching everyone essential knowledge. But not really, how do children graduate HS without being able to read? Two hundred years ago the school's made sure you could read by the sixth grade. Read the writings of the founding fathers and you discover they were extremely literate, very deep thinkers. Today that is becoming more and more rare.

The first step is you replace interesting reading material with material that is deadly dull. We used to have readers based on Bible stories that taught children to read. Thought provoking, meaningful, stories that would impact you for your entire life. Those were replaced with Dick and Jane books, the most boring, the most dull readers anyone could imagine. They made children across the nation hate reading.

Then you replace all that with movies and video games. Children were spending eight hours a day watching mindless TV which soon was replaced by even more mindless video games. That is almost 3,000 hours a year. Imagine if that time had been spent reading. If every child in this country read hundreds of books each year we would be exceedingly literate nation, but ever since we had public school run by unbelievers the key of knowledge has been taken away bit by bit.

They are now about to deliver the finishing blow -- ChatGPT. Children will be able to give the computer their HW assignment and it will write their report or answer the questions. No need to read at all, no need to study at all. From the fourth grade on you will see children use this and if you dare give the child a poor grade they will fire the teacher. So to keep their jobs teachers will use the same AI to grade the papers. You will cut people completely out of the loop and as a result critical thinking skills will be all but lost.

Why do lawyers do this? Lawyers are paid to get a result in a law court, that result rests on their being able to convince a jury of Americans to agree with them. Innocent people do not want to have to pay lawyers whereas guilty people will not only pay them but appreciate them. Therefore there is a financial incentive to become expert in convincing Americans that a lie is the truth. Advertising is a great example of this. Soon no one knows what the truth is anymore, like Pilate, they have no idea what truth is. Everyone is a liar, good is evil, and evil is good. As a result the lawyer is rich, lives in a gated community and sends his children to private boarding school.

So although lawyers are educated and could read, they chose not to enter the door that knowledge would open, choosing rather to deceive others. As a result the Lord has declared woe to them. AI will replace lawyers. AI will take away the key of knowledge from their children just like all the other children.

Who is that Faithful and wise steward?

41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?

42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?

43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.

This should be our most important question as we see the Day of the Lord approaching. Knowing when is not nearly as important as this. I used to prepare students for a big statewide exam at the end of the year. I had colleagues that would have a big sign up with a daily count down to the exam. 56 days until...45 days until...etc. Not only did I not do that I often didn't know when the exam would be until about two weeks before hand. My thought was it is important to know when the exam is so you can show up on time, but other than that it is a waste of time. It is far more important to be prepared to pass the exam than to be reminded every day of when it is. I didn't want to waste one minute. If we could maximize the time spent preparing the students we would have the best results, and we did. My thought with this blog is to provide something for believers to eat, to chew on, daily. Some word that will prepare them for the Lord's return.

45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;

46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

There is so much that I don't know. I was surprised when I first heard Pastor Dana Coverstone's dreams. I had never spent time with dreams and visions prior to that. So I didn't know how to respond, instead I simply kept an open mind towards the Lord. But that is not what I have seen from some Christians, there are some who are very bold to accuse others of being false prophets, misleading people and attacking people for speaking the word of God. That was shocking to me to see the arrogance of some to rebuke others as though they are the arbiter of truth. Are there false prophets? Yes. Do the believers need to know how to discern false prophets? Yes. I have gone into detail about that and I have shared links to others who have also taught on that. But hearing a word you have never heard before is not evidence of a false prophet. What is the basis for these ones accusing others of being a false prophet? It is because they have said in their heart that the Lord delays His coming. Their accusations and slander is simply one example of beating the menservants and maidens. It is stunning that Christians would do this to one another. But it is even worse than that, they also do it because they eat and drink with the drunken. They enjoy the world, they enjoy the worldly pleasures, they allow the world to befuddle their senses and so they don't want believers to be sounding the warning concerning the Lord's return.

47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

This is interesting. As a teacher I saw this all the time. A new teacher has no idea of how to maximize every minute of the class time. As a result they don't maximize the time, but the principal understands it is a process. So a new teacher will have horrible results, but the tongue lashing will be quite gentle from the principal. But if an experienced teacher of ten years or more were to have the same results the tongue lashing will be serious. They will put you on probation, the first step towards being fired.

49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?

We focus on the fact that God loves the world and desires all to be saved. That is true. But at the same time the Lord's death and burial didn't simply provide the basis for us to be forgiven and saved, it also provides the basis for the Lord to judge and execute judgment. He came to save us, and He came to judge sin. Both are true.

50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

Baptism is an act of faith, obeying the word of God to be saved. It is a public declaration of that faith. However, baptism is also a judgement on the flesh, on the world, and on the old man.

51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

If you are provoking division in your family this does not mean you are doing something wrong. The reason preaching the Lord Jesus provokes a strong response is because people are sinning, they want to continue sinning, your testimony is disturbing their conscience, and they are blaming you for the lack of peace. That is best case scenario, worst case scenario is that they are worshipping Satan and have given themselves to Satan and your words are like acid on their face.

53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

Again, this isn't your fault. This is the fulfillment of the Lord's word. Each one of us is strategically placed to split and divide Satan's kingdom so that it will fall. Our testimony will make it so that all are without excuse when they appear before the Lord's judgement seat.

54 And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.

55 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.

56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?

The US is the West and Russia is the North. What we are seeing right now in the US is a cloud rising. Therefore we know a storm is coming. The cloud refers to lies, weaponized DOJ, the MAGA movement, etc. It is rising and a storm is coming. Meanwhile we are seeing a South wind blowing. A south wind means it is blowing from the south to the North. We are seeing a realignment of the middle east from the Petro dollar to BRICS. We are seeing this wind fan the flames in the Ukraine and fan the flames in Taiwan. We are seeing the war erupt into flames in the Middle east with over 100 missiles fired into Israel. Anyone who is an expert on geopolitics would know that we are at war, WWIII has begun. They would know that fighting over who has the reserve currency and fighting over the oil exports, that these are so fundamental we will have a full fledged WW. So why are they "not discerning this time"? They are hypocrites. Liars. Actors on a stage pretending all is well.

57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

Why would they ignore Biden's compromise with China, or his quid pro quo with the Chinese. He left the weapons in Afghanistan as a quid pro quo for them helping him with the Presidential election.

58 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.

59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.

Now is the time to give diligence that you might be delivered from Jesus Christ, Lord of Lords, King of kings and judge over all the earth.

What is the Lord telling us?

Luke 13:1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?

3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

First, the things that are happening on the front page of the newspaper are a warning to us. A fire in California destroys every home in a town. That is a warning to you of what is about to happen to you unless you repent. A tornado destroys a town -- warning. An earthquake destroys a town -- warning.

Second, stop thinking that some people are worse sinners than you. The better analogy is everyone has AIDS, some are in the later stages and closer to death, but everyone has the same disease, and when you see someone dying of AIDS know that unless you get cured that is how you will die too.

Third, evil rulers are all under the Lord's sovereignty. We are not fighting a war against flesh and blood, our warfare is against spiritual rulers in high places. The Lord uses Satan the same way your father might use a cane to beat you.

Listen to what the Lord is telling you when you read the news. Food shortage -- except ye repent ye shall likewise perish from a famine. Worldwide pestilence -- except ye repent ye shall likewise perish from the plague. Violent criminals in the streets of our cities -- except ye repent ye shall likewise perish.
