So shall you know that I am the Lord your God
Joel 3:1 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, 2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
Just in case anyone wants to refer to the 1918 flu, or the Black plague or some other pandemic we have some more key criteria concerning the days that Joel was talking about 2,500 years ago. This is referring to a time when God brings again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, a time when you have the United Nations and can plead with all the nations in one spot. It is a time when the Jews have been brought back after being scattered to all the nations, and not just that but when Israel is returned to the land that God gave them the UN will part that land and divide it with others. So yes, all those things were true during the pandemic in 2020, they were not true in 1918 or any previous plague.
3 And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
There are some very definite sins that God is going to hold to their account, perhaps the Holocaust, the pogroms, and a whole bunch of other things we may not be aware of.
4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head; 5 Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things: 6 The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.
The Day of the Lord is a reckoning, a judgement. Human trafficking, theft, murder, these are things that they will be held to account for.
7 Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head: 8 And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the Lord hath spoken it.
As you have done it will be done unto you. Many are arguing about the sins of Israel in driving the Palestinians off the land, but here the Lord says that this is a fulfillment of His word to judge them for the sins they committed. Slave traders give up the right to complain about being made into a slave.
9 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: 10 Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. 11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Lord.
This is part of the message when they blew the trumpets in 2021. Sure enough the Gentiles came and the wars have begun.
12 Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.
The judgement takes place at the Day of Atonement which is ten days after the feast of Trumpets. I believe that 2020-2021 was the fulfillment of the feast of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement will take place in 2031.
13 Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.
In Revelation this language is used for Armageddon and the judgment on the nations.
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
This is what the feast of Trumpets is all about, it is a warning that Armageddon is near, the pouring out of the wrath of God is near, and now it is time to make a decision, are you for the Lord Jesus or for Satan?
15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. 16 The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
As for me I will choose the Lord Jesus. He will be mighty.
17 So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more. 18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth out of the house of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim. 19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land. 20 But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. 21 For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the Lord dwelleth in Zion.

THE BATTLE IS REAL
Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
My son, I know many in My body are facing BATTLES every day. I know of their fears and weaknesses and their feelings of rejection. I know the BATTLES for many are overwhelming, and many want to give up. I know the BATTLES ARE REAL, but I AM here to tell you - I AM WITH YOU!! Take your eyes off of the world and all the chaos, and focus on Me!
My son, the coming days will be filled with DARKNESS and CHAOS. Many will perish because they have taken their eyes off of Me and turned to themselves for salvation. They forget that the BATTLES are not in the flesh - but in the spirit. My children MUST! MUST! MUST!!! learn to WALK IN FAITH and trust in Me for their salvation. The times ahead from this point forward will be SPED UP, and the ruler of this world will have his rule for a short time. The evil in this world will now grow much worse, and you must be anchored to THE ROCK that will not move. I AM THAT ROCK!! BE ANCHORED TO ME!! REPENT NOW.
My son, My REMNANT will be under constant attack. Satan hates you as much as he hated Me. The BATTLES ARE REAL, and you must learn to use the sword effectively! Did I not say that your knees would be bloodied?? Your BATTLES are not fought face-to-face in armed conflict, but are fought on your knees - using the WORD OF GOD as your weapon. Many have been in BATTLES already, but those BATTLES are just TRAINING for what lies ahead.
My son, tell My REMNANT - YOUR DAYS TO SHINE LIE JUST DAYS AHEAD. Equip yourselves with My ARMOR daily, and strengthen yourselves with PRAYER daily. Remember, I have told you many times that this nation and it's people have CROSSED THE RUBICON, and there will be NO going back. My Mighty Hand of judgment will continue to bring this nation down - NEVER to rise up again. (Note - Please see the video "Detestable Things" from 7/27/22 where the Lord first mentioned to me that the Rubicon has been crossed.") REVOLUTION, CHAOS, and WAR are what this nation worships - and that is what she will have. REPENT NOW and turn from your wicked ways. REPENT DAILY and cleanse your house of all sin. I AM COMING SOON BECAUSE THE BATTLE IS MINE!!!
Amen. Lord Jesus

God's judgement cannot sleep forever.
"I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; and that His justice cannot sleep forever." Thomas Jefferson 1781
"If God doesn't judge America, He will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah" Billy Graham
Revelation 8:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

"Some of the most arrogant stuff you would ever see"
Biggs: Hunter's stunt backfired on Bidens
Isaiah 13:11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
Lord Jesus, we remind you of Your word, you are the incarnated word of God, we look to you to cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease and to lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

Wake up, use some common sense!
Amos 3:1 Hear this word that the Lord hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, 2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
You can't have it both ways, if you call God your father then you will also have to agree that any discipline you get is from God, your father.
3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
God has given you His word, if you claim to walk with God then you must be in agreement with His word.
4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
There are no coincidences. You think you are so smart in debunking conspiracy theories and yet you believe in coincidences. The prophets that you are mocking and ridiculing, they are young lions crying out, because they have taken something, they do have a prey.
5 Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?
The middle class got snared by this pandemic. So how could they get snared if there is no snare? You think it is a ridiculous conspiracy theory, fine, so let me ask this, do you claim to be God's children and yet reject His word?
6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?
C'mon man! There is evil in the city. I will focus on the US since that is where I am most familiar but I could easily apply this all over the globe. Inflation is high, the major cities are in financial distress, the country is flooded with illegal aliens that they cannot afford to feed and house and yet they do not pay taxes. We are being threatened with WW3 if we don't send billions of dollars to a cocaine snorting dictator who insults us, telling us to stop whining. Everyone who did not vote for Biden is labeled a domestic terrorist and now we find out that 20% of mail in ballots were fraudulent. The US is on the verge of bankruptcy and the collapse of the US dollar and it seems those in charge would prefer that to losing the election in 2024. I'm not talking about the Joe Biden administration doing this, I'm saying the Lord has done this.
7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
The prophets you have been mocking and ridiculing, they were speaking from God. You have been insulting the Lord and His prophets. They warned you about Hunter Biden's laptop, you mocked them, they warned you about election fraud, you mocked them, they warned you about making the border secure, you mocked them. Well, now the Lord will have you in derision, He will laugh at you.
Amos 3:1 Hear this word that the Lord hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, 2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.

Why would Israel or anyone want a leader, a ruler, whose garments were covered with filth?
Zechariah 3:3 Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel.
I was reminded of when I played football, sometimes you would play on a rainy, muddy day. When the game was over some players were completely covered in mud and yet there would always be one or two who were pristine, not a drop of mud on them. Those were the kids who sat on the bench and never played, "never got their hands dirty". I was also reminded of a movie "Hacksaw Ridge" about a man of faith who was led by the Lord to join the army to fight in WWII but was convicted to not carry a gun. He was a medic and during the worst fighting he was saving people. When that battle was over he was covered in mud and blood and guts. For soldiers being covered in mud, blood and guts at the end of the battle is evidence that you were in the middle of it. The same is true of farmers, doctors and construction workers.
So then I thought about it the other way, who doesn't get mud and blood on their clothes when they work? Politicians, bankers and lawyers don't, they can wear a nice suit to work. But spiritually if you send thousands to die in a phony war you have blood on your garments before the Lord and if you rob widows of their houses in the mortgage crisis your garments are covered in filth.

Christmas
21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
This is not a NT or even an OT feast. It belongs to the apostate church.
22 Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
Yes, it is true that apostate churches will have big, beautiful services with "Holy Night" and "Hark the Herald Angles Sing" with a beautiful choir.
23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
But God rejects all that.
24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
These are the weighty things of the law.
25 Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
The apostate church wants you to believe that the Christmas tree, and all of the trimmings are not important, what is important is that they are remembering Jesus birth. But God does not see it that way.
26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
That star on the tree, that is the star of their god. That angel on the tree, that is their images. That tree, that is a symbol of the Babylonian religion. The apostate church justifies a mixture because that is the only way they will even lift the name of Jesus. But if you put poison into a gold cup the gold does not make it safe to drink the poison. If you wrap up a poisonous snake with Christmas paper that doesn't make the snake less poisonous. Christmas involves worship, it involves carrying this burden, and it isn't for the Lord, it is for the idolatrous gods you worship.

I had a dream, I am on the sidewalk talking to two guys when I see this man go up to a door, knock and take out a gun. Two people immediately open, military looking men (crew cuts, military age, etc). They are right at the door looking in both directions. I then see a man come out with an Uzzi also looking around. I realize something is about to go down here, time to get out of there. I think this dream was depicting the current tense situation in the US with the threats and probing attacks.
Acts 1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Compare this with Hosea 5:15-6:2
Hosea 5:15 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
6:1 Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
It seems that Jesus goes away and then 2 days later he returns, and during the 3rd day we live in His sight during the millennial reign. Jesus "went away" on the day of ascension, so perhaps 2,000 years later on the day of Ascension Jesus returns? That would be at the end of the tribulation when He saves the nation of Israel.
