Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

The rock on which we stand

Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

The New Jerusalem has 12 gates and the understanding of that is that there are many different experiences of entering into the New Jerusalem. Jesus is the only way, the only road that you can take, but you can come to salvation from many different places. There are children who are saved very young, others rejected Jesus their whole life before repenting on their death bed. Some are saved from street gangs, others are saved from people who had failed without committing felonies. Some are saved on death row, others are saved with their whole life in front of them. What is common to all is that we all come to see that we need Jesus. All of the apostles were Jews so we can see how many of them got saved. But Revelation also says that a third of all Jews remaining alive during the tribulation will be saved when Antichrist is trying to wipe them out and Jesus returns in the clouds to rescue them. Many if not most of us need to be on the edge of the cliff before we will turn to the Lord. So then pray for people to get saved with that understanding.

2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

This is not the best approach to present the gospel to someone, telling them they don't have knowledge. So this chapter is not his message to the Jews. Instead Paul is using the Jews as an example for us, the church. When we get saved we all will have a zeal for God, but at the same time it is usually if not always not according to knowledge.

3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

This is a very common temptation for the church. We need to be aware of this. We must be fully informed of God's righteousness. This is the foundation that we stand on. If you try to build the church on any other foundation it will not stand. Once Saved Always Saved is right when they emphasize that righteousness is by the blood of Jesus alone. We don't stand on our righteousness we stand on the blood of Jesus. We must have a thorough understanding and revelation of that before we can even start to build. My brother tells me that most of the work of painting is not painting. Meaning the prep work is what takes most of the time. The prep work has been done for us by Jesus Christ and all the Old Testament saints right up to and including John the baptist.

4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

Think of the law as the prep work and Jesus Christ completed the prep work that had to be done before anyone could be a New Creation and walk in the resurrection life and build on the foundation that Jesus laid.

Ask God for a crowbar

Romans 10:5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

There are two different types of righteousness. That which is of the law and that which is of faith. It is important to let people try to accomplish the righteousness of the law. When I was 12 I thought that I too could be a "Christian" with a good testimony if I wanted to, it was just that "I didn't want to". Later I discovered that when I did want to I was incapable and fell short of the glory of God and was a sinner.

6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

This is what the righteousness of the law does. I will climb that mountain, I will plumb that depth, I will stand in victory, I will reveal the depths of knowledge and the hidden mysteries.

8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

Faith is when you believe that Jesus Christ is the victor, in Jesus Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Faith says, here is the word, believe it, receive it.

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

If you want victory, if you want to stand on that mountain then believe in Jesus, receive Jesus and take up your cross and follow Him. If you want all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge then open the word of God, pray, dig into it, and ask God for a crowbar to open up the word of God.

 

[ZNP]

Righteousness ≠ Salvation

Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

This is the problem with much of Christianity, we believe unto righteousness, that is true. But being justified by faith is not the sum of salvation. Confession is made unto salvation. You can't be a spectator Christian that is "saved". Once you start confessing Jesus Christ with your mouth that is when you are no longer a spectator but are on the field of battle. Don't think you are saved because twenty years ago you believed in Jesus Christ. Rather testify to this, confess your faith, be a witness of the resurrected Christ. That is when the attack will come, that is when the persecution will come and that is when you will have a genuine experience of Christ's salvation.

11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

It doesn't say "are not ashamed" but "shall not be ashamed". Believed is past tense, shall not be ashamed is future tense. I can be a new Christian, a novice in the word of God, sharing my faith, being attacked by the smug, self righteous, know it all attackers and the promise is that "I shall not be ashamed".

12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

Why are you calling "Lord, Save me!" if you have already believed unto righteousness? According to Once Saved Always Saved doctrine you are "already saved". No, you are already justified and made righteous by the blood of Jesus, bur right now I am under attack being mocked and ridiculed and I need the Lord to save me right now.

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

How does Christianity miss this? The person has already believed on Jesus in their heart, they are already justified, they are already righteous and yet Paul is saying to this person "If you shall call upon the name of the Lord right now you shall be saved".

I am reminded of when I was a junior in college. We were going to go on a six week field trip to the desert of Nevada and to the High Sierras to map geologic structures. On that trip we met rattlesnakes and a black panther. Prior to going I had this whistle around my neck and so this guy assumed it was in case I ran into trouble on this trip, perhaps lost in the woods and so he asked me what the whistle was for thinking it would be a good joke to all his friends who were with him. I told him when we came to a big box store like Walmart, we go to the front door, blow the whistle and declare "Jesus is Lord!" and then fan out to preach the gospel. I would probably get arrested if we did that today, but it was a different time back then.

Sent with a message from God

Romans 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

Preacher --> Hearing the gospel --> Believing the gospel --> Sharing your faith --> Persecution --> Calling on the Lord to be saved --> Salvation testimonies

15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

But now there is another little point to understand, you can't come from God with a message without being sent. We are told to be the Lord's witnesses so that means we have been sent. But what Paul is telling us is not that we need to take some other step before we can share our faith, what he is telling us is that this step has already been taken. The Lord knows your faith, He also knows what this person you are talking to needs and He also has arranged for you to be sent to them. So then when you are speaking pray to be one with the Holy Spirit. You have been sent, you have faith to share, you have a message that this person needs to hear, and the Holy Spirit wants to get that message out. The message is not what you think, that is why you must be praying and walking in oneness with the Holy Spirit. If you are then you will have incredible experiences of "having been sent" with a message from God that this person needed to hear.

This could be a great idea for a book. I could easily give you four or five experiences of this, ask around, you could collect 100 experiences and have a very powerful book.

Who wants to have experiences of Christ like the Apostles did?

Romans 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

But take a look at Christianity. 90% of the members are spectators. They come and hear the sermon every week, but they are not participants. So then did they really believe the report or have they been deceived into thinking they have?

17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Read every biography of men of God whether it is George Mueller starting an orphanage or Hudson Taylor bringing the gospel to China and the fundamenat beginning is the word of God being heard by them and faith in that word being the core of their ministry. The fundamental word for me is Colossians 2 -- 'All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Jesus Christ, the incarnated word of God.'

18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

Yes, everyone sitting in the pews has heard. Every believer that is left behind after the rapture will have heard.

19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.

I like to illustrate this concept with a hypothetical. Suppose the music minister stands up in a meeting that is filled with the saints and their families. He says "who would like to learn to play the piano, come on up here". There is going to be a six year old girl who rushes up there. She wants to learn. There are a lot of other people in that congregation who also want to learn, but they are not foolish, they know it is a lot of work and they are afraid of looking like a fool. But that girl all she knows is if the music minister can play the piano, why can't she. Maybe three years later she is playing beautifully, and that nine year old girl is making all the others who were afraid to come up angry.

20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me. 21 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

This is the way it is with Christianity.

A Remnant that has not bowed the knee to Baal

Romans 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying, 3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. 4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. 5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

7,000 men was probably less than 0.1% of all Jews living at that time. The things that happened with the Jews were done for an example to us. 144,000 is less than 21x 7,000. The Jews are less than 5% of the world's population and so if we compare 7,000 at the time of Elijah to the number that are raptured at the end of the age it is likely a very similar comparison. Christians today teach that the entire church gets raptured, thinking that 100% of Christians get raptured. But how many of them bow the knee to Baal? Do you bow your knee to your job, or your career, or your pursuit of financial well being? If a woman gets an abortion for the sake of her career then that is bowig the knee to Baal. We could itemize all the ways in which people prioritize their job and money and their status in the community over their faith in Jesus. That is what it means to "bow the knee to Baal".

We don't know how many will be raptured, using one method we could estimate that one sixth of born again Christians will be taken, but in another way we could say that the 144,000 represents the number that will be taken. Another way is to say that the tribe of Levi being taken up when Moses came down from the mountain represents those raptured and that would be about 8% of genuine Christians which is likely 4% of those claiming to be Christians. No matter how you cut it, the number will be a remnant.

The word is only used twice in the Greek translation of the Bible, once in 2 Kings 19:4 and once here. The word is unique in the New Testament to the book of Romans and that is significant because each book in the New Testament has some unique words which describe the unique agenda of each book. The word means "that which is left". If only a few are taken in the rapture then "that which is left" is a large number. However, here Paul is focused on those who are saved when the majority of Jews are rejecting Jesus. So in this usage "that which is left" is a small number. This concept is woven into the entire Bible, and whether we are looking at the tribe of Levi, or the two spies who gave a good witness, or the time Elijah prayed to God. The bottom line is that it is a minority, and could be a very small minority that will be saved. Instead of theorizing on that it is more profitable to theorize on how many Christians have not bowed the knee to Baal.

 

[ZNP]

What does Paul really say about works?

Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

Once Saved Always Saved (OSAS) doctrine condemns "works based salvation" and this verse is one of the strongest supports for that. But they miss the first five verses. The reason someone does not bow the knee to Baal is because of grace. Prior to being saved they did bow the knee and often they were top lieutenants in that evil system, like Paul was. Paul thought he was doing a work for God. Just because someone is in Satan's kingdom doesn't mean they aren't deceived into thinking they are doing a work to God. You can be fully consecrated to the devil and not realize it. The proof, the evidence that someone is saved by grace is that they are refusing to bow the knee to Baal. This is why the way this doctrine of OSAS is often taught in a blasphemous way. Some teach that it is OK to bow the knee to Baal, as long as you prayed twenty years ago you are saved and no one can do anything about that. But how do I know that I am saved? Well for one thing you refuse to bow the knee to Baal. During the tribulation for those who are left behind they will be forced to make a decision, take the mark of the beast and worship Satan, or refuse to do that, get beheaded for your testimony and be saved. So this is the ultimate test as to who is and who is not really saved.

7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded. 8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear unto this day.

Why? Why? Why! God blinded them? God gave them a spirit of slumber! He gave them eyes that they should not see and ears that they should not hear! Why? This is a major theme of this blog. Why do football teams play each other and one wins and the other loses? Why do we have 32 teams in the NFL and yet only 1 team that wins the Super Bowl? We do this in many different sports, think of the Olympics, all the countries compete and only one person gets the gold medal. Think of the rapture being those who receive a reward at the end of the age. It is like being given a medal in the Olympics. Now let's compare this to Christianity. How many of them are spectators watching the game compared to those who are on the field playing in the game? About 30% of those who claim to be Christians are active church goers, and of those about 40% volunteer to help out in ministry and of those about half are very active in ministry. That works out to about 6% of Christians. Now if half of those win a reward at the Lord's return that would be 3%, similar to the number of people in the NFL that win the Superbowl.

9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: 10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway. 11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.

So then let's answer the question as to why we do this. Why we have the Olympics, or why we have it so that only 3% of those in the NFL win the Superbowl. It is because we are figuring out who is really listening, who is really seeing. We study Jerry Rice because we realize whatever he did was really right. We study Tom Brady and we study the "dynasties" like Pittsburg Steelers, San Francisco 49ers and New England Patriots because they were really listening and really seeing. Every year someone has to win, so winning one Super Bowl is not proof, but no one has to win repeated Super Bowls. Jerry Rice was not the fastest, tallest or strongest receiver. But he was the one that ran the hardest the longest. Tom Brady could not throw the ball as well as Marino, he wasn't as strong as Rothlesberger and he wasn't as fast as Michael Vick. But his ability to read defenses and understand what ever player on the defense was going to do was the best of any quarterback ever.

The thing that is common to all the truly greats whether it is Rice, or Brady or MJ or Bird is their work ethic. So that is what is twisted about condemning works based salvation. We have to work smart. We have to have eyes that see and ears that hear. But if you do have that then you need to also be very diligent in your work. We are not saved by our works, justification by the blood of Jesus is a free gift. However, we don't get a reward for something we have not done and worked hard at doing. Rewards are given out according to your works. If you do a work on your own apart from Jesus Christ He will say "depart from me you worker of iniquity, I never knew you". So working smart means we are working one with Jesus Christ. He is leading us, guiding us, correcting us, rebuking us, charging us and encouraging us.

First Fruits of the Church Age

Romans 11:12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: 14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.

There are different ways to motivate people. Parcels would always tell Lawrence Taylor how great some other defensive player was. He would always be trying to provoke Lawrence to emulation.

15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

Think about Kurt Warner, he was "cast off" from the team that drafted him. He stocked groceries, he played arena football, and then when he returned to the NFL we saw his fulness, "the greatest show on turf".

16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

This is another analogy. Those who are taken in the rapture are "the first fruit". If you have ever had a fruit tree you know that the first fruit that is ripe is a very small percentage of all the fruit that will get from that tree. The twelve apostles (I am counting Paul and I am not counting Judas) were first fruits of the church age.

Pruning the tree of unbelief

Romans 11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

Think about 70 AD, the temple was destroyed and the Jews were scattered to the four corners of the earth. Paul is describing this as branches being broken off of a tree and the church being grafted onto this tree. The word of God is the tree, the temple is only a branch that was broken off. It was two thousand years from Abraham to Jesus and so they have just as long a contribution to this tree as Christians do.

19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. 20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

We stand by faith and the reason you are broken off is due to unbelief. How many churches today are diseased by unbelief? How many stand 100% for the word of God? So let's not be highminded. This is a contagious disease that afflicts many religious people.

22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

How many in Christianity have an unbalanced view of God. They talk only of His love and goodness, and completely ignore His severity and willingness to cut off unbelief.

23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.

There you go, "OSAS" can apply to a branch that has been cut off and is destined for the fire. You were part of the tree, you were cut off, and yet if you repent you can be grafted in again, a second time.

24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

God is going to get the glory. He will be revealed as "the Savior". It will not be by power or might but it will be by His Spirit.

God has put all under unbelief that God might have mercy on all

Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

God made them blind, but the reason was so that we could be saved.

26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

We were saved from our sins, they will be saved from their sins. God had mercy on us, God will have mercy on them. The things that have happened to the Jews have turned out to be God's mercy to us.

28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.

We need enemies. That is how we learn and are matured. When I played football I appreciated the good teams, the teams that pushed us to our limits. I liked them much more than the teams we beat by 45 points. Those teams made us better. Now when it comes to those who attack, ridicule and mock Christians the best are those who know the Bible. Those are the ones that push us the hardest to study, and learn and improve.

29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

What a scary thought! Suppose a man is called to be a Christian, he is gifted, but then allows a root of bitterness to grow and goes from being absolute for Jesus to being absolute to attack Christians. That guy will be your greatest adversary, he will push you the hardest and so God is not repenting that He gave this person the gifts and calling. It is a scary thought because you might think "look at all the Lord has given me and brought me through". That may be true. But was it because one day you would become the greatest adversary? Herschel Walker looked like this huge superstar and Minnesota sent a whole lot to Dallas to get him from them. But rather than making Minnesota the winner this made Dallas a dynasty. Or think about the Colts trading Marshall Faulk to St. Louis Rams, he was the essential piece to them becoming the greatest show on turf.

30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: 31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

The common thread in all those "terrible" or "great" trades is unbelief and mercy. I am always reminded of David Tyree. His coach showed him mercy when he could have cut him from the team and then David Tyree prayed in faith before the Super Bowl and caught a touchdown and caught the "helmet catch" considered the greatest catch in Super Bowl history and his coaches mercy was repaid by his faith as the Giants beat a heavily favored Patriot's team. It truly illustrated that we should not be high minded but fear.

32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

Benediction

33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! 34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? 35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? 36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

The restrainer is in a tug of war with the prince of darkness

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

We are in a spiritual war and there is a huge amount to do and very few who will do it. Despite all that we have sent the gospel to the four corners of the earth and look at the result. People have woken up, not all, but enough that all across the globe people are not willing to be ruled by despots and evil dictators. It used to be just a few decades ago no one could see the church having a powerful voice and would think that talk of Satanists, demon possession, Nephelim, and the Prince of darkness were all myths. But today if your eyes are open it is vey clear. We have 12 apostles and Satan has a council of 13. We have the New Testament and they have their magik books. Aleister Crowley must have written over 50 books, essays, and testimonies. The council of 13 works with FreeMasons and the CIA to manipulate and control global populations. These organizations are based on loyalty to Satan, not to any one nation.

However we have promises from the Lord Jesus that whatever is done or said in secret, in darkness, in the closet will be proclaimed from the housetop. This blog is my proclaiming from my housetop. We need to speak the truth, we need to speak light and life and we need to pray for the promises given to us in our covenant with God to be fulfilled. Jesus also promised us that we could ask whatever we will in Him and He will do it. We can ask for Epstein and all those working with him to be revealed as well as all the things they have done and said in secret. We can ask for George Soros to be revealed with all of his plans. We can pray about other leaders in this dark age like Donald Trump, Barak Obama, Hillary Clinton, Emmanuel Macron, Putin, Netanyahu, Xi, etc. We can pray about those in the occult who are casting spells in public like Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny, Kendrick Lamar, Usher, Rihanna, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and King Charles.

There are many other ways in which you can present your body a living sacrifice. Soup kitchens, children's work, evangelism, etc. There is no excuse, either you are a spectator Christian or you are on the field of battle doing your reasonable service.

2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

One major issue we have is Christians who are not spectators, they are involved, but they are conformed to this world. You do not fight fire with fire. Satan comes to lie, steal and kill, Jesus came to give life and that we might have it abundantly. The occult teaches to curse your enemies, Jesus taught us to bless our enemies, to bless those that persecute us. We are ambassadors of the kingdom, we are trying to pull people out of the fire right up to the moment we are snatched out of this world. The royal law demands that we show mercy to sinners if we want God to show mercy to us. With the Lord Jesus there is forgiveness that He might be feared. Think of how terrifying it is to the enemy when Saul of Tarsus is forgiven and converted, or when a member of one of the families of the council of 13 is converted, or someone familiar with the inner workings of the CIA or of Epstein or of any of these rulers. Why do you think 100 close associates of the Clintons "committed suicide". They are terrified of whistleblowers, they are terrified of light shining on them and exposing all their dark deeds. We are not of the darkness we are of the light and as children of the light we walk in the light.

3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

To think soberly of yourself is similar to what they teach in Judo. You are to be balanced. Don't think too highly of yourself and at the same time recognize that you have been given a measure of faith and that the Body of Christ needs you to serve according to that measure of faith. If you hide away what you have been given the Body of Christ suffers loss.

4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: 5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

We need this revelation. If you are an ear you hear the Lord speaking to you. If you are an eye you will see dreams and visions. If you are a nose you smell something is not right or you smell a heavenly sweetness. We need each one to function. We need the discernment that comes with the proper function and we need to be careful about judging others as there are believers with different functions from us, and yet it is still one body.

6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

Again, this is just like Judo. When you prophecy it needs to be balanced. Perhaps you have seen or heard something from the Lord. Don't add to it, don't take away, stay balanced. People want every single prophecy, vision and dream to be about when the rapture is. That is absurd. We are in a war, the battlefield spans the entire globe, the various events and battles and needs are great. Right now the church should be one with the Holy Spirit in restraining evil on this earth and we will continue to wage this battle right up until we are "harpazo'd" out of here.

7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; 8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

So when you have a gift, lets say your gift is exhortation, then you need to wait on that gift. In other words you will see that there is a need for some to get exhortation, but you are like a running back looking for daylight, a little space where you can run through. We have the term "get open" which means get to a place where the Lord can pass you the ball. Another way to look at this is you are always ready as though the moment could happen so fast. For example, I was with my brothers and sister cleaning up my Mom's house after we had to put her into a home. The situation had become very tense as my sister had insulted my older brother and he was saying he had had enough and looked to be ready to quit. My sister was extreme in her demands that the house be returned to a state where there was no trace my Mom ever lived there. So I picked up a tray of stones my mom had taken from the river that runs through the property and said I would take them out to return to the river. My sister said we could simply throw them outside and tried to talk me out of this. But I said, no problem, it will be fun. To that she blew up "We are not here to have fun". That was a watershed moment where everyone realized they had gone too far, dial it back, and let's all reset.

9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

Without dissimulation is unfeigned, without hypocrisy. Satan uses "love" as a cloak. All these pride churches use "love" as an excuse to ignore the fellowship of the apostles. People who commit evil will often claim that it is "out of love". The Bible says the heart is deceitfully wicked, anyone who claims "I have a good heart" really has a deceitfully wicked heart. Social Security sounds like love, "Give us your money, we'll hold onto it until you retire, and then we'll give it back to you". Anyone who has looked into Social Security realizes it is the spirit of Judas "why was this not given to the poor? This he said not because he cared about the poor but because he held the money bag and took whatever was put in it".

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

Social media has really exposed the hypocrisy and failing of many who call themselves Christians. Where is the kind affection towards one another with brotherly love? Where is the preferring others posts over yours?

11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

The only way we can not be slothful in serving the Lord is if we are filled with the Holy Spirit. Our flesh, our old man, our self, these will all drag their feet. It is like a car, it must be tuned up, filled with gas and oil, and the tires must be properly inflated. If all this is your case spiritually then you will not be slothful. Paul says "in business". Many people say their job is their ministry. When I was a teacher that is how I viewed my job. I was not permitted to use the position of teaching as a platform to speak Jesus. But what you can do is not be slothful, be fervent, and know that what you are doing is serving the Lord. That attitude is a powerful testimony.

12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

We are "rejoicing in hope", you don't have wait until you see the fulfillment to rejoice. During tribulation you don't need to grumble, complain, and moan. Rather be patient, that is a testimony. Whenever anything arises you don't need to be anxious, or treat it as a "crisis", rather you can instantly go to prayer.

13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

This is the right attitude, you are always looking to fill a need.

14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

Remember, we do not fight this war by cursing others but rather by blessing them, especially those that persecute you. Think of Balaam beating his donkey because it wouldn't do what he said only to then realize that donkey saved his life. He was persecuting the donkey and the donkey was blessing him.

15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

It is a big turn off to many if you are so high minded you are of no earthly good. There is a man named "Kellerman" who for years and years said that Tom Brady would "fall off a cliff" because of his age. He was wise in his own conceits. Finally one day he had to admit he had been wrong. Someone pointed out to him that from the first time he said that right up to the time Brady won his 7th Super bowl that Tom Brady had had a second "hall of fame" career. Kellerman was wise in his own conceits. He had seen the impact age had had on many and assumed it would be the same. But all he did was make a fool of himself.

17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

The idea of "payback" is a fleshly idea of a natural man. We do not want "payback" for the things we have done, we want forgiveness and mercy from God. The royal law says "as you have done it will be done to you", therefore if you want mercy you must extend mercy to others. But don't use this concept of "extending mercy" as a cloak for being dishonest hiding your corruption. It has been extremely difficult to get the names and deeds of those who went to Epstein Island. You have the right to extend mercy to those who have harmed and abused you. But you don't have the right to do that for people who have harmed and abused others. That is not honest.

18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

I have an assignment from God to take care of this ministry, this blog. I am not trying to pick a fight with anyone. Even if you are in the council of 13, or you are a FreeMason or in the CIA. I am concerned with your salvation, not trying to war with you. The Lord told us that we war not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. My battle is with the spiritual forces of evil, not with any person. That said if people want to attack me there is little I can do about that. I am not changing course simply because some person doesn't like it, I have to answer to the Lord. If I have the mandate from the Lord and I have the Life and Peace from the Spirit, then I follow the path lit for me by the word of God.

19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

I have seen firsthand the Lord take vengeance on those that thought to raise a hand against His ministry or His servant. I am fully convinced that as expert as the Lord is in blessing others He is equally expert in taking vengeance and repaying those that would dare attack His ministry. I have seen some of the most horrible things happen to those that did this and I am fully persuaded, if this needs to be done I am going to leave this job up to the Lord, that is His job to do, not mine.

20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers

Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

This verse is often misquoted or simply referenced without the quote incorrectly. Many said that if the government mandated the vaccine then you must be subject to them based on this verse. But Fauci is not "the higher powers", neither was Joe Biden who was President. The higher powers refers to the law and there is a law that states the requirements for mandating an experimental vaccine. "Every soul" in this verse includes Fauci and it includes Joe Biden. This verse is not telling us we must obey Joe Biden because he is president, rather it is saying we all must obey the law including Joe Biden and Fauci.

In the case of the vaccine mandate it was illegal, they did not obey the law. First, you cannot mandate an experimental vaccine if you have effective therapies. HCQ and Ivermectin were both effective therapies proven safe for over 50 years. As a result they had to mock and ridicule these. They called HCQ "bleach" and they called Ivermectin "Horse dewormer". HCQ requires one pill for one liter of water. If you put 10,000 pills into one liter of water then yes, it would behave like bleach. But on the other hand if you took 10,000 pills of Tylenol you'd be dead, so it is an absurd complaint. Ivermectin works against all single celled organisms including viruses, and that is true in both humans and horses. The difference is the dosage. Secondly, if you are going to mandate an experimental vaccine you are required to provide all the research, that is why these vaccines come with these folded up papers the size of a giant poster filled with research. But with the vaccine for Covid they gave you a blank piece of paper. That was illegal.

We are one with the Holy Spirit in restraining evil. We do this because they are violating the law. Epstein island was evil, and it violates international laws concerning slavery. The corruption discovered in Minnesota is evil and it also violates US laws. We also have evidence of illegality in our elections. As Christians we are not encouraged or advised to support any politicians or political party. You can do that as a citizen, but I would not dare to say the New Testament endorsed any of the candidates. However, as Christians we are advised, right here in Romans 13 to restrain evil and hold every soul on earth accountable to the higher powers, namely international law.

A revenger to execute wrath

Romans 13:2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

I refused to take the covid vaccine, I was called "Anti Vaxx". But that was slander. I had gotten all my shots required to teach in NYC, and I taught science. I was not "anti vaxx", rather I was against those who resist the ordinance of God and that included international law concerning mandating an experimental vaccine.

3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

The ruler in this case is not Fauci, it is not Biden, it is the law. The law was not a terror to me, nor was I afraid of the law. But it does condemn all those who mandated that vaccine and then fired people and mocked people who didn't take it. Will they be prosecuted? That is yet to be seen, but what is certain is that they shall receive to themselves damnation.

4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

Once again, people ascribe this to Joe Biden or Fauci. No, they were the ones resisting the law. There were people who took a stand with the law, and for them the law was a sword that they bore. There have been many who stood against the evil and stood with God. We have already been told that "vengeance belongs to God", He is the "revenger" who will execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. However, it is essential that some take a stand, that they make it clear they are violating the law. Otherwise these people could claim ignorance. There is a principle in the law "no harm no foul". Before you can sue someone in civil court you must be able to show harm. Losing a job, losing a house, these are legitimate harms. This is how we restrain evil. It is not our job to be "a revenger to execute wrath". No our job is to speak the truth in love.

5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

So now there are two reasons we must be subject. First, if you are not subject to the law but violate it then you will bring God's wrath on yourself. The second reason is that if you do not stand against evil men who are violating the law and harming others, then you are not following your conscience. You cannot say "oh, I didn't know" because every person has been given a conscience and knows when they do something that offends their conscience.

6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

This is why we pay taxes. We do not pay taxes so that "Learing centers" in Minnesota can steal $9 billion and send it to terrorists gangs in Africa. Rather we are paying taxes so that the proper authorities can investigate and prosecute those who steal. As taxpayers we have a righteous stance to demand righteousness and to stand with the Holy Spirit to restrain evil.

7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

The path that leads to life is narrow. Look at social media, is it filled with those who are giving honor to whom honor is due? Are people giving ICE agents the proper fear that they are due? Are they treating those who are there to uphold these laws, like police, the honor they are due?

he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

OK, maybe you say you are. You pay your taxes, you aren't protesting in a way that is illegal, etc. But as Christians we are held to a higher standard. If you belong to one political party are you loving those who belong to another? Jesus loved us while we were yet sinners, so claiming that they are sinners is not a valid excuse for not loving them.

9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

The law doesn't simply say you can't steal your neighbors ox. It says if you see your neighbors ox wandering free you are to return it to him.

10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

Once again take a look at social media, it sure looks like people are working ill to their neighbors. Doxing them, canceling them, doing whatever they can to harm those they disagree with.

11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

SJW stands for "Social Justice Warrior". Christians are warriors of light. The SJW's are full of works of darkness. If you are going to enter the spiritual warfare you cannot have any word that you say said in darkness. Suppose we are in a courtroom and I am being prosecuted and the prosecutor is reading what I have written here. Would I be ashamed? People say some very ugly things and then when you shine a light on that they will say "it was a joke" or they will argue that it was justified because someone else said something very insulting. Put on the armour of light, that means every word must be able to stand under the spotlight, every action must be able to stand under the spotlight. That also means every inaction needs to stand under the spotlight. I have seen people condemning people they think are unrighteous because of allegations. That is not right, we are "innocent until proven guilty". Wait until they are convicted of sin otherwise you allow Satan, the slanderer to go around slandering people and you are helping that slander to become harm.

13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

How many politicians and Tele evangelists have been exposed for doing the very things they publicly condemn?

14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

"How do I know when I have reached the start of the new day?"

That's easy -- Look for the Ring of Fire to light the sky (Feb 17th) that ushers in the darkness for three days before the destroyer of four arrives to destroy by the light of the blood red moon (March 3rd).
