Can we find such a one as this is

38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?

39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:

40 Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.

It is very possible that Joseph already had had dreams of what was going to happen. It is also possible that he prayed that God would let Pharaoh know. But here is the thing that these verses clearly tell us. Joseph was not simply a "dreamer" as his brothers called him, nor was he simply someone who interpreted dreams as the Butler said. He was someone who took these things to God and prayed about them and prayed to discover what he should do in response to what the Lord had revealed to him. Pharaoh doesn't promote him because he interpreted the dream, he promoted him because he had a plan on how to respond to the famine.

46 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

How about that? He is ruler over all of Egypt by the time he is 30. We need a vision, many "horrible" things happen to all of us, for example our brothers will sell us into slavery and tell our father we were eaten by wild animals, and we are falsely accused of rape and tossed into prison, these things happen to all of us. Instead of complaining about how unfair God is, why not see this as God's spectacular training to prepare you to rule.

47 And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.

48 And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.

We have been told that war and famine is coming. The dollar will collapse and there will be economic chaos. Some people say you need gold and silver. Perhaps. but for the poorer among us I will tell you what you need. During a famine a can of sardines will be like pure gold. There is a company called "Joseph's Kitchen" and you can buy enough food to feed one person for a year for $1,000. That works out to $3 a day. You can't beat that. They sell everything you need to make bread from grains of wheat. It can be stored for 25 years. Even if you are poor no one can buy food cheaper than $3 a day. It is a great deal.

You can also buy cans of fruit and tuna fish and sardines and beans, etc.

When the famine comes every one of those cans will be like pure silver and pure gold.

CRY FOR MERCY

Jeremiah 16:10-13 10 And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the Lord pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God? 11 Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith the LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law; 12 And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me: 13 Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; where I will not shew you favour.


My son, CONTINUE TO WARN MY CHILDREN, for I AM opening their eyes and softening their hearts. CRY REPENT NOW! to the stiff-necked people, who REFUSE to see the sin that they wallow in. Just as pigs think the slop they are being fed is good, so do My children who eat the slop being served by false pastors and false prophets. I tell you now - I will BRING DOWN all those who speak lies in My Name to My children and cause them to believe a lie. My children follow after the things of this world and worship the many idols that flood this nation. Mystery Babylon is no longer a mystery - for it is the nation of America.

My son, many believe America cannot be Mystery Babylon for they have been taught lies and doctrines of devils. America has ALL the attributes of every empire before: The MIGHT of Rome The PHILOSOPHY of Greece The WEALTH of Babylon The IDOLS of Egypt. All the GREATNESS and SIN of these past empires make up America. The lawlessness and hatred of the people will be judged and brought down.

My son, the flagrant sin of Sodom is now being worshipped in My house. I will BRING DOWN the houses with My Name over the door, who have allowed in this abomination. The false pastors who have promoted this sin and participate in secret will taste the same death as those who practice such abomination. I say, REPENT NOW! and turn from your wicked ways.

My son, SHOUT THE ALARM!! WAR IS AT THE DOOR!! SHOUT PREPARE AND BRACE YOUR HOUSE - FOR MUCH DEATH AND DESTRUCTION IS NEARBY. Warriors who have seen battle will weep when the destruction of America is complete. Many will not believe their own eyes are seeing such carnage. THE ONLY HOPE IS FOUND IN ME. ANCHOR YOURSELVES TO THE ROCK AND TRUST IN ME TO GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE CHAOS. The wars now will not cease until I return and stop them. Israel's troubles have begun and will not stop, for her enemies have set a snare for her, and she will be trapped. Then will they call upon My Name to save them. America - your death is now complete in the spirit, and the reality will soon manifest at your door. REPENT NOW!! for GREAT PERSECUTION is coming upon My children. REPENT NOW!! Oh, America, and CRY FOR MERCY! I AM coming soon, oh, so very soon!

Amen. Lord Jesus

Joanie Stahl & Melissa Discuss 3 Warning Dreams & Where the Church Is At!


Here is what I am impressed with. Everyone has a job to do. Some are pastors taking care of the flock, some are out on the streets preaching the gospel, some are feeding the homeless, and some are watchmen. This sister faithfully shares her dreams and the messages the Lord gives her. I have really enjoyed these last few years seeing these ones faithfully carrying out the job the Lord has given them each day. No one is the end all and be all. Cloud 9 blessings shares dreams, Crystal Love for Jesus shares dreams, God a Minute has been an encouragement, who also sees what everyone is sharing and then gives us the nice simplified summary. Some people have a more specialized ministry focusing on studying one aspect of the word like these signs in the heavens. Others are a more general teaching of the truth like DTBM. Some have really done a nice job looking at specific prophesies concerning Psalm 83, Ezekiel 38, Zechariah, armageddon, etc. One sister did a three part special on the USA being Mystery Babylon. I still remember the brother who shared about the different agendas of the three synoptic gospels, Luke being the burden for those in the pre tribulation rapture, Mark for those in the mid trib and Matthew for those who go through the tribulation. That has made a deep impression on me helping put many of the pieces together. Stan Johnson has a burden for forty years to do his prophecy club. U B Ready is faithfully sharing every week, almost every day. And Vicki Goforth Parnell burst onto the scene as well, giving us daily intelligence briefings from the Father God, the Lord Jesus and Michael the Archangel. This has really been wonderful seeing all these different ones coordinating and it is all done by the Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit in each one.

3 And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

This word "Keep His commandments" reminded me of the gospels where it says that Mary kept all these things in her heart. The fact that we keep our experiences of the Lord's speaking to us in our heart is evidence that we know that we know Him.

The word for Keep means
  1. to attend to carefully, take care of
    1. to guard
    2. metaph. to keep, one in the state in which he is
    3. to observe
    4. to reserve: to undergo something

τηρέω tēréō, tay-reh'-o; from τερός terós (a watch; perhaps akin to G2334); to guard (from loss or injury, properly, by keeping the eye upon; and thus differing from G5442, which is properly to prevent escaping; and from G2892, which implies a fortress or full military lines of apparatus), i.e. to note (a prophecy; figuratively, to fulfil a command); by implication, to detain (in custody; figuratively, to maintain); by extension, to withhold (for personal ends; figuratively, to keep unmarried); by extension, to withhold (for personal ends; figuratively, to keep unmarried):—hold fast, keep(- er), (pre-, re-)serve, watch.


It is the same word that Paul used when he said "I have kept the faith". Peter used this word when he said we have an inheritance that is "kept in heaven for you".

Three Days of Darkness & Giants 01/18/2024

The point of these eyewitness accounts and dreams is that you will not be able to go down into a bunker for a few years, you will not be able to run and hide, you will not be able to fight. The only thing you can do is to give your life to the Lord, serve Him, worship Him, and trust in Him.

The point is not "when". Yes, it could be in ten years, or it could be in ten days. What difference does it make, if you knew it was in ten years what could you possibly do to prepare other than to preach the gospel, build up your faith, and keep the commandments of Jesus. That is what we need to do today.

How many people say "I'll believe it when I see it". Well, that is the point, during this time period you will see it. You will see that the only thing protecting you from these things will be Jesus Christ and His blood. You will see that fallen angels, demons and Nephilim have no respect for you, or your weapons, but they do respect Jesus Christ, Lord of All.

Matthew 13:33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

I love how sparse this is. It is like a short story that is really, really short. So let's see if we can figure this out. In the gospels we are told to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, we are also told that the leaven is the human traditions. We don't know much about this woman, is she good like Mary or wicked like Jezebel? But we do know that this is not a reference to Jesus, He is never described as a woman, nor is it a reference to the Triune God. This leaven is not a reference to the mystery hidden from the ages. We also know that leaven makes the bread rise, which means it is airy, fluffy, filled with air. When you go to a Cathedral it might be 7 or ten stories high and yet is simply one giant airy chamber. Think of all these churches that appear so big, so airy, so "inflated". We do know that the church is referred to as a woman, to the bride of Christ. We also know that the first woman partook of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The word of God is likened to grains of wheat, women are the ones who grind the grain and make bread, and this woman has hid leaven in the flour, the word of God. We also know that leaven does not add to the nutrition. It will make the loaf look bigger without actually being more food. I see this all the time. I am always searching the internet for a message or a word or insight. Often you will see a great title, the message is an hour long, and fifteen minutes in you still have not gotten anything from the word. It is click bait. What I really like more than anything is the five minute message where the person gets to the point, shares something of value, and then that is it. No fluff, no inflating it, rather it is like a five pound bag of flour instead of two fluffy loaves of bread.

And this is what the kingdom of heaven is like. Is it evil? Is it good? That is not so clear. What is clear is they are mixing their traditions with the word of God, they are inflating it, giving click bait titles, and the bigger the loaf looks the less nutrition it has (white flour rises better than whole wheat).

Jesus talks about hell 70 times in the New Testament,

47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

A lot of people say they don't believe in hell, they even have Bible teachers who try to deny it's existence. But what is justice? Don't we sever the wicked from the just all the time? Isn't that what a court of law and a prison does? No one has an issue with us having a trial and convicting a murderer or a thief. Why do we try and say that God is not just for doing the same thing? We have "life in prison" sentences, so why do we think God doesn't send people to hell for eternity? We teach about heaven, but would it really be heaven if it were filled with murderers and rapists and thieves? Jesus talks about hell 70 times in the New Testament, so don't listen to those who try and tell you it doesn't exist.

12 Reasons For A 2024 Spring Passover Rapture


I like Nisan 1 for the start of the 70th week. The Jews expect Elijah to show up for Passover, well the 2 witnesses show up after the rapture. In the plagues we have 3 days of darkness that can be felt, and that occurs after the rapture but before Passover. The mass exodus after Passover appears to signify the tribulation saints who then live in the wilderness supported by God.

In the plagues we have 3 days of darkness that can be felt, and that occurs after the rapture but before Passover. The mass exodus after Passover appears to signify the tribulation saints who then live in the wilderness supported by God.
The 10 Plagues of Egypt in Order are: water turning to blood, frogs, lice, flies, livestock pestilence, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, and the killing of firstborn children.

The first 8 all could take place during the church age. Water turning to blood indicates the economy, frogs indicate unclean spirits in the worldly economy, lice and flies indicate the spreading of pestilence, sickness on the cattle indicates the economy grinding to a halt, pestilence would be like pandemic. Hail and locusts would be natural disasters. All of these have taken place during the last two thousand years and have been completely ramped up since 2017.

1. We are learning how much blood is involved in our economy. Discover what the cigarette companies did, the NFL did, the companies that made Teflon did, etc. One revelation of the horrors after another, all to make a dollar.

2. The frogs fill the houses. It is incredible how many of these "frogs" can fill a house. People who worship some sports team or Hollywood star will wind up filling their houses with these junky things depicting these unclean spirits.

3. Lice and Flies are the kind of uncleanness you see in the world. They are covered with various sicknesses you get from these. You get ulcers from eating food contaminated by flies, and you see someone with lice in their hair it tells you a whole lot about how unclean their lifestyle is.

4. The pandemic caused our economy to be shut down, just like the engine of the agricultural society, their cattle, being sick.

5. Hail is destruction falling from the sky like a blizzard or tornado or hurricane or flood, or hail. We have seen it all in the last few years.

6. Locusts eat up everything. The US is being filled with people as locusts as 10 million come across our southern border. They fill the cities and eat up everything. The mayor of NYC is claiming they will be bankrupt trying to care for them. They fill up their schools causing children to have to stay home.

This is where we are at right now. The next plague is 3 days of darkness which can be felt. Jesus referred to those who are not raptured as being cast out into outer darkness.

If you are left behind you need to begin again from the beginning, which is Passover. Separating yourself from the world and putting the Lord's blood on your mouth, or the door to your heart.

I will see thy face again no more

Exodus 10:21 And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt. 22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days: 23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings. 24 And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the Lord; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you. 25 And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the Lord our God. 26 Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the Lord our God; and we know not with what we must serve the Lord, until we come thither. 27 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go. 28 And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die. 29 And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more.

It is with this plague of 3 days of darkness that we get this phrase about seeing thy face no more. When the rapture takes place there will be many Christians that we will not see their face anymore. If we equate this darkness which can be felt to the "outer darkness" that the believers who are not raptured are cast out into, then this is where the rapture takes place. Passover refers to the start of our Christian life, all those who are raptured do not need to go through Passover again, but those who are left behind will need to begin again. Like Paul says in Corinthians, they are the ones building with wood, hay and stubble. Their works are burned up, they lose everything, but they themselves are saved. The exodus from Egypt is not a picture of the rapture, it is a picture of the believers leaving the worldly cities during the tribulation to live in the desert being supported by God with water from the rock and bread from heaven.

Instead of asking when is the rapture, ask when is the three days of outer darkness for those who are not raptured? It is right before Passover.

1Thessalonians 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

Wow, read this in light of the ten plagues in Egypt and Jesus telling those that He doesn't know that they are cast out into outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.

If you are not in the darkness you are in the wedding feast, you have received Jesus, your sins have been forgiven by His blood, and you are a witness of Him. That is because your day already began with the Passover, you have already eaten the lamb, you have already put the blood on the door. You have already left the kingdom of darkness for the kingdom of light.

But those who are in the outer darkness they have a problem with leaving the world, they have a problem with putting the blood on their door, they have a problem with abiding in the house and eating the lamb. So that is where they will start again, that is where the tribulation begins for them. It begins with them being in outer darkness, two weeks later they are eating the lamb in the house. That is the night that the day overtakes you as a thief. The Passover was when the avenging angel came out and took the firstborn like a thief in the night.

This verse says that the day overtakes you as a thief if you are in darkness, not if you are in the light! The rapture is not the thief, it is the avenging angel killing the firstborn of Egypt that is the thief. The raptured saints are not the ones in darkness, after they are raptured we have three days of darkness. Coincidentally Nisan 1 begins with a solar eclipse over Egypt (little Egypt in Illinois).

It is interesting that in the Bible the last seven years is referred to frequently as "the day of the Lord". In the Bible a day begins with evening at sundown and this "day of the Lord" begins with 3 days of darkness and a solar eclipse.

1 John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

What is it that the Lord tells those ones who are cast out into outer darkness, "depart from Me, I never knew you". They deceived themselves thinking they were Christians.

1 John 2:9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

Here is the biggest warning light, do you love your brothers or hate them?

One problem we have is past teachings may be clouding our understanding of the Bible. We have to be willing to abandon them.

For example, the 70th week refers to the last 7 years for Israel, but that doesn't mean that Armageddon takes place in those 7 years. Suppose the rapture takes place at the end of the church age, following that on Nisan 1 the 70th week for Israel begins, 7 years later Jesus returns to Jerusalem marking the end of the 70th week, then as Lord and King he defeats the Antichrist armies at Armageddon and the whole world completes their 6,000 years at Tishrei 1 and then appears before the throne on Day of Atonement.

This would allow Jesus to return in the clouds in glory before Israel turns 81.

It also would mean that the Solar eclipse that makes an X over the US and specifically over little Egypt will be the X that marks the beginning of the 70th week and the end of the Church age.

The rapture of Lazarus causes the whole world to turn to Jesus and cheer his entrance at the start of the tribulation, this is immediately followed by turning the tables on the money changers.

In 2017 we had the Balfour declaration for the Jews to return to Israel. That indicates that 1918 was a jubilee year and the first year of a shemitah cycle (this went into effect in Tishrei of 1917, if a Shemitah year begins in Nisan it would be in 1918. Then 49 years later we had 1967 when Israel regained Jerusalem, another jubilee year. Then December of 2017 Trump declared Jerusalem belongs to the Jews and so that also would be a jubilee year, the first year of a Shemitah. That means 2024 would also be the first year of a Shemitah cycle. It seems to me that the 70th week for the Jews is a direct reference to a Shemitah, a "week" of years and that this should either begin on Nisan 1 for the Jews or Tishrei 1 for the nations.

Logic is simple, Daniel refers to the 70th week, the 70th Shemitah of the Jews. That refers to a seven year period. When does a Shemitah start? On the first day of the year. When is the first day of the year for the Jews? Nisan 1. We know that 1917, 1967, and 2017 were key events indicating Jubilee years which are the first year of a Shemitah cycle. Therefore 2024 should also be the first year of a Shemitah cycle.

That doesn't mean it has to be 2024, but if not 2024 the next Shemitah begins in 2031 and by then there is no math that says the generation that sees the fig tree generation put forth tender leaves will see Jesus return in the clouds in glory within 80 years.

Also there is a remarkable prophecy concerning all the Popes that says this Pope is the last one. He is currently 87, so he would be 94 in 2031.

Also there is a remarkable prophecy from a rabbi that predicted 1917, 1967 and said that 2017 would be the last jubilee before the Day of the Lord.

Also we have Red heifers that will be ready for sacrifice this spring, it is highly unlikely we'll have any in 2031 (In all of Israel's history there have only been ten times they have had certified red heifers and they can only be sacrificed when they are a specific age, so you have about a 1/400 chance).

Also we are seeing AI rise (the beast system rises at the start of the tribulation) but seven years from now it will have completely and totally risen. Already they are predicting AGI in 12 months and 40% of the world's jobs replaced this year by AI.

Also we have already seen Psalm 83 war and are on the cusp of Ezekiel 38 war. Very hard to believe this will be another seven years of this before full out Ezekiel 38 war.

Also, it seems that the Lord's crucifixion marked the end of the fourth day and that the millennial kingdom will begin 2,000 years from that. The time frame for the crucifixion is between 29AD and 33AD with 30AD being my first choice. This means 2030 or 2031 should be the start of the Millennial kingdom. Therefore everything points to Nisan 1 2024, especially since it is marked with an X by this solar eclipse over little Egypt.

Israel: God’s Prophetic Timepiece 01/19/2024

Why do we have a hope? Because we are sanctified.

How do we become sanctified?

John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

The word "sanctify" indicates separating yourself from the unclean things to God. This verse indicates that the lies, and distorted words are the unclean things and that the truth is the word of God. We need to be separated unto the word of God. Separate yourself from the idiot box unto the truth, God's word is truth.

Ephesians 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

We became sinful and unclean through the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. We get cleansed from that and sanctified by washing in the water of the word of God.

1Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

There are those who worship the God of war, there are those who worship the god of self righteousness and moral superiority. If you listen to the idiot box you think it is telling you important truths when in reality it is trying to polarize you and get you to hate, fight, and become anxious. I have outlined the coming destruction of the US and the world in detail, I have highlighted the sins, the errors, and the coming judgement. This does not cause me to become anxious, on the contrary, seeing Jesus and the prophets tell us all this would come upon us thousands of years ago fills me with faith that Jesus is Lord, He is the way of salvation, and instead I am filled with thanksgiving that I chose Him and gave myself to Him many years ago. When I was 12 I realized what I did with my life depended on whether or not God was real, I knew that if one day we had to appear before the judgement then you should be living your life with that judgment in view. I am very happy I realized that.

Hebrews 13:12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

We cannot be separated unto God without the blood of Jesus. It is our ticket into the Holy of Holies. Without that ticket you don't get into the presence of God. Sanctification is to be separated from common things to Holy things, and only God is Holy.

1Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

If you are sanctified unto God then the Lord will also be sanctified in your heart. Many people have "special treasures". You go into their house and there are things in there they treasure. Perhaps it is a painting, or a piece of furniture, etc. My mom had a baby grand piano which had a prominent place in our living room. Perhaps you have trophies or awards on the wall. Peter is telling us that in our heart Jesus must have the prominent place, like that piano, you must always be ready to sit down by Jesus and give an answer to every man that asks you a reason for the hope you have.
