May we speak with all boldness

Acts 4:25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

When you watch the news understand the heathen are raging and the people are imagining vain things.

26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.

When you see the WHO and the WEF all instituting various rules and laws and controls and ways to enslave know that they are not coming against you, they are coming against the Lord Jesus.

27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, 28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.


We have seen this before, played out over and over again fro the last 2,000 years. Toughen up, He that is with us is greater than whatever is with them.

29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, 30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.

Are you able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against thee with twenty thousand?

31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.

33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

When I was 12 years old I did this. I realized it was time to think about what I wanted to do with my life and that was when I realized it all depended on whether or not God was real. I immediately dismissed that question realizing God was obviously real, but then, which religion is the true one. If God is real you must take Him into account and realize that down the road He will come and ruin your plans if you didn't account for Him. My first thought was that the Jewish religion was obviously real since no way the Jews could leave Egypt and form a nation without God's help. However Christianity seemed too far fetched. One guy walking around in sandals getting his feet covered with dust, this guy is God?

So I began going to the synagogue with my friend who was Jewish, joining him for Passover, etc. However, shortly after this I was saved, came to believe in Jesus. So this is the big question, Jesus is coming, He is coming with a huge army, you can read Revelation to see exactly what He is coming with, He doesn't want it to be a secret. Are you able to meet Him with your army? Because if not now is the time to make peace. All you need to do is confess your sins, repent of them, confess that Jesus is Lord and obey Him. No need to go to hell. Your sins will be washed away.

Why does the Satanic Worldly system hate this so much?

Nehemiah 10:28 And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nethinims, and all they that had separated themselves from the people of the lands unto the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one having knowledge, and having understanding;

When you go to church on the Lord's day morning you are separating yourself from the people of the land. When you don't go to the bars and the clubs and the rock concerts you are separating yourself from the people of the lands. I heard recently that despite close to 50% of America identifying as a Christian, only about 20% go to church. 80% don't. Now consider how many Christians will go to church and then go to a professional football game, or basketball game, or go home and watch these games on the TV. When you dedicate the Lord's day to the Lord you separate yourself from the people of the land.

29 They clave to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God's law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the Lord our Lord, and his judgments and his statutes;

So what are the issues we are seeing? People are fleeing San Francisco, why is that? 100,000 a dying each year from opioids, why is that? 85,000 children go missing each year, why is that? Why do we have endless wars, do you know the answer to that? Bottom line is that the commandments and statutes of the Bible would prevent the banking industry growing into a cancer that creates the mortgage meltdown or that profits from wars. These commandments and statutes would strengthen the family unit and nuclear family. Ultimately the cause of all the major issues in the US and other countries could be effectively treated if we would simply observe and do the commandments and statutes of the Lord.

30 And that we would not give our daughters unto the people of the land, not take their daughters for our sons:

Oh they scream that this is racist. Really? Paul shared that marriage is when a husband and wife are yoked together. You don't want to be unequally yoked. How are you going to raise your children? What if the father and mother are in disagreement about keeping and observing the commandments and statutes of the Lord? Suppose the father wants to take his children to the "game" and the mother wants to take them to church. There is no fellowship between light and dark. It is absurd to think prior to getting married that the husband will change, after all why wouldn't he think the wife will change? Why do you think almost 50% of all marriages in the US end in divorce? If we didn't have those divorces we also wouldn't have all the poverty associated with single parent families or the mental issues and drug abuse associated with it. Inner city gangs use single parent families as a source of the lowest level foot soldiers for their gangs. Eliminate those divorces and you eliminate so many other ills in this country.

31 And if the people of the land bring ware or any victuals on the sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy it of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day: and that we would leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.

Why are you supporting businesses that hate you and hate your way of life and hate your faith in God?

32 Also we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God; 33 For the shewbread, and for the continual meat offering, and for the continual burnt offering, of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin offerings to make an atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.

Make the most important thing the most important thing.

They hire false pastors to lead the church astray

Nehemiah 13:1 On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found written, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God for ever;

2 Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing.

We are seeing this today, the big mega churches are funded by Jesuits and others who do not want anything about the rapture or the antichrist taught. They hire these false pastors to lead these mega churches, people who are associated with Freemasons and worship Satan. They hire them to curse the believers, lead them astray, and to teach "once saved always saved" that you don't need to walk faithfully before the Lord.

29 Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.

Normal isn't coming back, Jesus is

Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the daily [sacrifice]shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

The term sacrifice is inserted because the translators didn't understand what the "daily" was referring to. Also this term could be translated as the "always" or "the continual".

So then another valid translation for this using modern phrases would be "from the time that normal shall be taken away". We have a common expression today that "normal isn't coming back, Jesus is". I would argue that when the rapture takes place normal will be completely and permanently taken away. This is the point that "God's Roadmap to the End" is making in the video released today.

A covenant with Death

Isaiah 28:14 Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scoffers
who rule this people in Jerusalem.
15 You boast, “We have entered into a covenant with death,
with the realm of the dead we have made an agreement.
When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by,
it cannot touch us,
for we have made a lie our refuge

and falsehood our hiding place.”

An overwhelming scourge sounds like the worldwide pandemic. At that time everything was a lie. They forced people to wear masks that did not protect them. One church had a pregnant woman taken out by the police because she lowered her mask to breathe. They shut down churches while leaving the casinos open. They shut down the mom and pop stores while leaving the big box stores like Walmart and Costco open. They told you that the vaccine would prevent people from transmitting the disease, and then we hear from the company that made the vaccine that they never tested it to see if it would prevent transmission. They said if you get the vaccine you won't get sick. That was a lie. Then they said not as many would get sick. That was a lie. Then they said that even if you get sick it won't be as sick and that also has been proven to be a lie. They said that the governors who were putting sick people into old folks homes to infect everyone were the "gold standard" of how to respond to this. They said you could not use Ivermectin or HCQ, that was a lie. Where were the pastors to stand up and defend the flock from these lies? Almost all of them agreed with these rules.

Acts 5:4b What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God

#NotMyPresident

16 Then Memukan replied in the presence of the king and the nobles, “Queen Vashti has done wrong, not only against the king but also against all the nobles and the peoples of all the provinces of King Xerxes. 17 For the queen’s conduct will become known to all the women, and so they will despise their husbands and say, ‘King Xerxes commanded Queen Vashti to be brought before him, but she would not come.’ 18 This very day the Persian and Median women of the nobility who have heard about the queen’s conduct will respond to all the king’s nobles in the same way. There will be no end of disrespect and discord.

Hillary Clinton did wrong to our entire political system when she declared that Trump was not her president.

Illegitimate Biden

Esther 3:1 After these events, King Xerxes honored Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, elevating him and giving him a seat of honor higher than that of all the other nobles. 2 All the royal officials at the king’s gate knelt down and paid honor to Haman, for the king had commanded this concerning him. But Mordecai would not kneel down or pay him honor.
3 Then the royal officials at the king’s gate asked Mordecai, “Why do you disobey the king’s command?” 4 Day after day they spoke to him but he refused to comply. Therefore they told Haman about it to see whether Mordecai’s behavior would be tolerated, for he had told them he was a Jew.
5 When Haman saw that Mordecai would not kneel down or pay him honor, he was enraged. 6 Yet having learned who Mordecai’s people were, he scorned the idea of killing only Mordecai. Instead Haman looked for a way to destroy all Mordecai’s people, the Jews, throughout the whole kingdom of Xerxes.

Steve Bannon has been vociferous in refusing to acknowledge that Joe Biden is the legitimate president of the US by focusing on issues with the election, mail in ballots and the machines. Steve Bannon is also an outspoken Christian (apparently he is Catholic, but one who is very clear that Jesus is the Lord).

Since being elevated to President Joe Biden has sought how to destroy all Christians. He has weaponized the DOJ against the protestors on January 6th, he has labeled parents who go to school board meetings as domestic terrorists, he has called everyone who voted for Trump a domestic terrorist and a white supremacist.

A people who keep themselves separate

Esther 3:8 Then Haman said to King Xerxes, “There is a certain people dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom who keep themselves separate. Their customs are different from those of all other people, and they do not obey the king’s laws; it is not in the king’s best interest to tolerate them. 9 If it pleases the king, let a decree be issued to destroy them, and I will give ten thousand talents of silver to the king’s administrators for the royal treasury.”

The apostate church does not keep themselves separate. They have members of the LGBTQ+ community speaking from the pulpit, putting on shows in the sanctuary, conducting story hour for the children, etc. They attend professional sporting events and are indistinguishable from everyone else at those events. They go to rock concerts, clubs, bars, and are involved in various online dating platforms. There is no separation, no sanctification, no way to distinguish them from the world. This is not referring to the apostate church, it is referring to those who truly do worship the Lord and are separate unto Him.

13 Dispatches were sent by couriers to all the king’s provinces with the order to destroy, kill and annihilate all the Jews—young and old, women and children—on a single day, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, and to plunder their goods.

Brace yourself, it is coming. All those Christians left during the tribulation, your goods will be plundered and their will be an orchestrated government operation to exterminate you.

Expose the deeds of darkness

Psalm 37:32 The wicked lie in wait for the righteous, intent on putting them to death;
33 but the Lord will not leave them in the power of the wicked or let them be condemned when brought to trial.


Do not be naive, just like those who lay in wait to kill Paul, they lay in wait for you. Just like Paul was warned by a child do not ignore the warnings that the Lord will send your way.

Deuteronomy 18:9 When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. 10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you.

Again, do not be naive. There are an estimated 6 million Freemasons worldwide, another 6 million Mormons in the US, and about 1.5 million witches and pagans in the US as well as 700,000 Satanists in the US. What we are talking about is not "strange" or "superstitious". FDR, Truman and Ford were all freemasons, notice how two of them became president without winning an election. George Bush and George W Bush were both members of the Skull and Bones club. Mary Todd Lincoln and Nancy Reagan were involved in the occult. Hillary Clinton was also said to have gone to seances to commune with the dead.

Ephesians 5:11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.

Many believers are correct to say that they want no part of this, however, we are charged to expose these evil practices known as "the deeds of darkness".

Job 5:12 He thwarts the plans of the crafty, so that their hands achieve no success.

Look to the Lord in prayer for Him to thwart the plans of the crafty.

Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

Persecution & Med Beds 06/22/2023

2020 pandemic was a very big event fulfilling prophecy. Therefore we need to understand what it was all about. Yes they were flexing their muscles and showing us what they can do and yes it was a dress rehearsal for the mark of the beast, concentration camps, seizing bank records and instituting a social credit score. Yes, it paved the way for the WHO to seize power from every government. But in addition to all that we know and should not forget that they were doing genetic testing on the whole world. Look at how many times China tested people. They were looking for something. According to this "dream" they were looking for genetic markers for those who belong to Satan.

We know that when the Bible talks about Noah it says that God made man in His image (Genesis 5:1), then in chapter 6 we learn that the genetic makeup of man became mingled with "the sons of God". This created a race of "Nephilim". "But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord". One interpretation is that Noah's genetic makeup had not been corrupted. The flood was designed to wipe out the mixed race of humans and angels.

Apparently, even though all the "giants" have been wiped out, these genetic markers specific to the fallen angels are still in man and that is what they were looking for. That may sound fantastic but we should remember they were demanding everyone to be tested, and some people were tested again and again. At my job they told us it was "random" but it seemed to be anything but random.

There is an interesting thing that happens to trees in the winter. When it begins to get cold the trees will actually cut off the leaves so that they fall. The problem is not that the leaves stop producing sugar, it is that the tree knows if we get an early snow or ice storm those leaves will make it much more likely that big branches will be broken off. So cutting the leaves off is designed to protect the tree for the long term even though in the short term there is a loss. It is the same with the tribulation. We think that the "evil" ones are doing all sorts of terrible things to kill and cut off the believers. But all of this, like that tree, was created by God. The judgment is coming, it will kill the mold, and the mildew, and the bugs. Otherwise those things would continue to grow and spread. But when the judgement comes some will be ready for the Lord's coming immediately, some will need more time to ripen, and others will need every last minute. The things we see in the tribulation are actually there to help all these other ones to ripen. Being cast into outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth causes genuine believers to repent and consecrate themselves to the Lord. Causing the believers who are left in the tribulation to be martyred gives them a powerful testimony of the Lord for eternity. Even the demons and all the fantastic things that happen in the tribulation cause those who doubted to repent of their unbelief.

We must obey God rather than human beings

Acts 5:27 The apostles were brought in and made to appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the high priest. 28 “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man’s blood.”

29 Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings! 30 The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead—whom you killed by hanging him on a cross. 31 God exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior that he might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins. 32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”

What is the apostasy? It is the church no longer obeying God or God's word, but rather obeying human beings. Right now there is a big debate among Christians, the majority of Christians think that it is bigoted and lacking in love to take the Bible literally and be so harsh on sin. They think that God loves everyone and speaking of sin and hell simply drives people away. They teach once you are saved you are always saved and no longer have to worry about sin. But after three days of darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth, after seeing the believers they thought were wrong be raptured, they have repented. Now they are determined to preach about sin and they no longer compromise with the word of God but say they must obey God.
