Thanksgiving or "why this waste"?
Mark 14:1 After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.
This word craft is what "witch craft" is based on. My understanding is that it is the same thing a prosecuting attorney will do to a witness. They look for any possible way to discredit that witness and they will take a mole hill and turn it into a mountain. In the movie "the insider" the whistleblower had once returned a can opener he bought online that didn't work. It costs $8, he returned it, and since he bought it with a credit card he had every right to return it and cancel payment. They tried to use that and infer he was a thief. You might think the two things have nothing to do with each other, a high level executive in the cigarette companies blowing the whistle on lies they have told and returning a cheap item he bought online that didn't work. But that is how they operate, it is like a rock climber looking for the smallest crack or bump they can use as a handhold. However the Holy Spirit is our defense attorney. Talk to the Holy Spirit, follow His leading. If you are wrong, you must deal with that. For example, I had leased a car for 42 months and then after 36 I went to see about returning the car. I did not realize I still had six months on the lease. While there they talked to be about leasing another car. My plan was to return this car but then I learned I still had six months so I decided to hold on and told them the earliest I'd be interested in considering another car would be in four months and I gave them the criteria my wife would want. Four months later they texted me they had that car and would I like to look at it. I wanted to ignore that text but the Lord convicted me about keeping my word. I went in, they had done everything I had asked and although I had not considered this a verbal agreement the Lord did. So I wound up getting the new car. A second time the Lord spoke in a message I was listening to about unintentionally offending others, that this also was something we should confess and repent of. I had never thought that it was my issue if someone misunderstood me and got offended. But that message caused me to apologize.
As long as the enemy has even the slightest thing to complain about it will be like that prosecutor attacking you, but if you confess, repent and take the Lord's blood your defense attorney will object and the judge will agree and block that line of attack by the prosecutor.
Now in Jesus case they couldn't attack anything, so the next line they will take is to find a friend who is a weak link and attack them. Judas was the weak link that they used to get to Jesus.
2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.
This is a big deal to the watchmen. We have little hints like this that the rapture will be on a feast day. In the Old Testament there are prophecies about it being "an appointed day". This expression "an appointed day" is a reference to a holiday, or a feast day. However, I believe it cannot be one of the feasts mentioned in the Bible because when Jesus said "no one knows the day or the hour" everyone knew the day and the hour of those feast days. Because of that I have thought that it is a feast day that has come about since Jesus was crucified, a day that no one knew of at the time of the disciples. For example, Christmas is not in the Bible, but since it dates back to ancient Babylon I think that is an iffy example because Jesus was clear that no man or angel knew the day. There are two feast days that are specifically mentioned in the New Testament that were not mentioned in the Old Testament. You have the feast of new wine, Pentecost, which is 50 days after the day that Christianity uses. You also have Hanukah, the dedication or the rededication of the temple. The problem with that is that even though those days are not mentioned in the Old Testament the disciples knew both of those days when Jesus said "no one knows the day" so that also seems very iffy to me.
You then have Halloween, a harvest festival, tied in with the occult, that seems like a dress rehearsal for the demons and the three days of darkness. This is the only holiday we have that is specifically celebrated at twilight, at the "twinkling of the eye". Also there are three days: Halloween, Day of the Dead and All Saints day. But it is very hard to see anything of raptured saints in that day. Still no one knew the day or the hour of that appointed day at the time of Jesus.
The other option is Thanksgiving. This is directly tied to the book of Acts and that really does give us a view of both the raptured saints and the left behind saints. This is a true feast day, Halloween is not a feast day. And there is a midnight hour for this feast to wake up all the Christians who have been sleeping. So let's examine this day.
There are three presidents in the US who declared a day of thanksgiving. The first one was Washington who declared this day as a day for the nation to give thanks for coming through the revolutionary war. He had no ulterior motive, the day was fully given to God. This is like Barnabas who gave a free will offering, a thanksgiving, to God. The second president was Lincoln, he thought that having a day of thanksgiving would help unite the country at a time of civil war. He did have an ulterior motive that calling for this day would help his presidency. He is like Ananias who kept back part of the holiday for himself. Like Ananias Lincoln also died. Finally, we have FDR who also had an ulterior motive. He thought this holiday would help kick off Christmas purchases and get the economy out of the doldrums. If he were honest Thanksgiving was for God and Black Friday was for his economy. But he wasn't honest and he too was killed in office, just like Saphira. I think this depicts the two kinds of Christians, one kind are fully sold out to the Lord, like Barnabas, sons of consolation. Like Enoch they are dedicated to the Lord without any guile. The other kind are those who are hypocrites, they portray themselves as sold out but at midnight they will be on line to buy some item for Black Friday sales. To them Black Friday is as big a holiday as Thanksgiving. Also, to be fair, this day is a day that "no one knew the day" at the time Jesus was speaking to the disciples.
Then in Acts there are several responses to this event when Ananias and Saphira die.
Acts 5:11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.
12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
13 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.
14 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
This sounds like an accurate description of the rapture. At the time of the rapture there will be great fear for the rest of the world. Also, at the same time that some are raptured the false prophets will be slain. It will be like when Elijah called down fire and 400 prophets of Baal were slain. To be a prophet of Baal means it was your career and you were paid to do what you did. This doesn't mean that a servant of the Lord cannot be full time and supported by the ministry. But, it does mean that many prophets prophecy for money just like Balaam and Judas. Also these signs and wonders are prophesied to take place during the tribulation to help the left behind saints. Finally, this is the point in the book of Acts where the real persecution of the church begins and saint Stephen is martyred and Saul of Tarsus is rounding up Christians.
Finally, the horrors of war during the revolutionary war were every bit as horrific as the holocaust. They starved and froze to death, they had primitive doctors and the treatment was similar to torture. Imagine having limbs amputated without anything to put you to sleep or numb the pain. Think of people dying from gangrene or frostbite. These are horrific ways to go and Washington saw it all. And yet he gave thanks to God. There was a great sacrifice made, a great price was paid, but now we had a country that was ours. When Barnabas sold his house that was a great sacrifice, but now we had a church that was ours and he gave all that was sacrificed to the church. If you highly value the church you will give thanks, if you do not value the church you will think "why this waste"? The same is true of the Holocaust. If you highly value the Jews returning to the land of Israel you will give thanks. If you do not value the Jews returning to Israel then you will say "why this waste"?

This is what you get when you elect a radical left-wing lunatic for Mayor. Maybe next time the people of Chicago will wise up and vote for competence over radicalization, but I would not hold my breath.

This was the final straw for Judas
Mark 14:3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head. 4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
This is how some might view the revolutionary war. Why this waste? They paid the price so that we could be free of the evil monarchies. This is how some might view the Holocaust, why this waste, they did it because they paid the price for the Jews to be atoned for and so they could return to the land of Israel.
5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
I get it, some people don't see it this way. Those people who died in the Revolutionary war, they could have instead served the king of England and perhaps paid out 300 pence in taxes to him over their lifetime. Likewise with those who died in the Holocaust, they could have continued working in Germany and paid taxes for the German government. If your goal is to bring in the kingdom of heaven to the earth then you will appreciate and give thanks for their sacrifice. If that is not your goal, then you will complain "why this waste".
6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. 7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
These deaths meant something, they meant something for everyone that survived them. It is fitting that millions of people give thanks for their sacrifice.
8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.
This should be what each of us ascribes to, a ministry that anoints the Lord's body (the church) before the burying and resurrection.
9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
The same is true of those who died in the Revolutionary war and for those who died in the Holocaust.
10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.
This was the final straw for Judas.

I have wondered for a while why you hate Trump? The other haters' motivations are pretty obvious, but I don't really understand yours? I don't mean that as standoffish or inflamatory either, I haven't forgot you were the only one brave enough to show face on election night and admit the election win, and I respect that actually a lot and like you best of the haters clique, but at the same time it makes me more curious then why you hate Trump but also are like unclear why exactly? Hence I figure I just try to ask directly and try to be clear but maybe am overthinking.
So many members of Trump's fandom tried to defend the indefensible. Now the wheels are coming off the MAGA cart.
Well elaborate, we know why you hate Trump lol. Let me ask it another way; what is it like lately that has got under your skin about Trump or that you find disgusting? Or is this just like the general hate programming?
Programming, you finally guessed it. They did it long before ww2 but after ww2 the government via the Army, FBI ect. spent millions upon millions of dollars on programs like Project Camelot, COINTELPRO ect. and many other programs. They gave funding to Colleges hired Cognitive Scientist,Behavioral Scientist,psychologist ect. to do study after study on how to control mass populations by the information being told to them. Neither the Left nor the Right are immune from it but will never admit to it because part of the programming efforts is to cause those influenced to believe it was their own decision.
Programming seems an appropriate discussion. Entire cultures are based in it from birth. And later in life it can be changed to varying degrees based upon many factors. Group-think.
You can force people to do anything you want but to do it they have to believe they were never forced into it and that they resisted that force and came to their own conclusion on the subject matter their own selves. For instance if you wanted to hide things that they will eventually find out you cause them to not believe it by denying it their own selves. The Epstein files for example regardless of what they include will be denied by both sides by saying either the Left put things in them when they were in office or removed things or that when the Right was in office they removed or added things. AI, fake news ect. will aid in the process because both will deny anything in the files as truth and blame the other for it being fabricated in the files. Those on the Left will defend the Left and those on the Right will defend the Right and the reason why is in their programing they made the decision themselves that the side they chose was truthful and correct and the other was not.
In a general sense yea, but for TB he can be cool sometimes though. I'm sure they've tried but I believe their programming ain't perfect, humanity's more dare I say spiritual nature and the religious nature of reality will always inevitably shine through and can overcome any programming.
And in Christ in Spirit even the virused programming of the flesh can be overcome/debugged to ever-increasing degrees - renewal of the mind.
Yup - the box, the needle, the programming, the reasoning… Elmo
look up malignant narcissist and IMO he fits everything in that description IMO.He’s very close to being a demon. Surely there is something demonic helping him there is just too many instances that he keeps slipping through.
