Amos 3:7, “Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.”

Have you been jaded through the multiplicity of false prophecies of false prophets? How about all those “feel good” words from the Lord that never came to pass? There are MANY false prophets out there, most of whom are under the auspice of the New Apostolic Reformation. For them a prophet is “learning” and it does not matter if they are 100% accurate in their prediction. Here is an excellent article on this topic: “When a Prophet Speaks and His Words Do Not Come to Pass,” http://www.letusreason.org/latrain23.htm. However and in spite of the NAR’s excuses (even through the deft misuse of Scripture), God’s word says otherwise. For more info on the “Kundalini” spirit behind this and the evil that is being called good, please tune into Andrew Strom’s “Kundalini Warning,” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXolizIy6_g

However, there is such thing as a real prophet. And Pastor Coverstone appears to be one of those (though he NEVER calls himself one), for one after one of his dreams are coming to pass. I will continue to observe and keep this post updated…

This brief article is to point out that Pastor Coverstone’s dreams appear to have come to pass and appear to be coming to pass. According to Deuteronomy 18, this is one of the ways to know if a dream or word is from the Lord. The other way to know is found in Deuteronomy 13. It is there that things get more tricky because God is testing His people. Basically, if the dream or vision or word comes to pass, but the dreamer of that dream then encourages people to follow after other gods, false doctrine, or anything that leads them away from the truth, then the man dreaming it is a false prophet.

Upon examination thus far, Pastor Coverstone is not such a false prophet. And though Pastor Coverstone does not deem himself to be a prophet in any way, God appears to have made him one on behalf of Himself to this nation. After all, through these visions and dreams God’s message of warning and repentance is resounding across America. Indeed, Pastor Coverstone does appear to be God’s prophet to America, and the word of the Lord through Him does appear to be coming to pass. For God does not bring anything upon a nation until He first warns them. Amos 3:7, “Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.” Through Pastor Coverstone God appears to be doing this.

More than anything, however, I encourage everyone to get back to the Word of God. No matter how real a dream, no matter how incredible the fulfillment, everything must align with God’s Word. How will you know if a dream or vision or prophecy aligns with God’s Word unless you are in the Word constantly and hold it in highest honor? There is a lot of double speak out there. There are a lot of false prophets who quote scripture and then dream something contrary to scripture. But, how will you know this unless you are rooted and grounded in God’s Word.

Do you think reading and understanding God’s Word is rocket science? It’s not! But, it is spiritually discerned (1 Corinthians 2:14). In other words, only Christians can understand it as the Holy Spirit leads us into all truth (John 16:13). For it is only the Spirit that knows the mind of God. So, you do your part: read. And let the Spirit do His part: lead you into all truth.

NOW, here are some of the ways that Pastor Coverstone’s dreams have come to pass so far. To begin with, the dream he had back in December of 2019 came to pass regarding the hospitals, people on ventilators, people wearing masks, fearful people, angry protestors, barriers in cities, courthouses surrounded, burning cities, absolute chaos. To view this dream connect with this link:

Yet another dream, which is mentioned at about the 4 minute and 50 second mark of the same above video, is also coming to pass. In that dream, called Part 2, Pastor Coverstone saw the calendar again, this time flipped to September, then October, and then November. A fist then hit November, and chaos ensued. Businesses were shuttered; there was armed fighting in the streets; the evaporation of monetary wealth, Washington D.C. burning, politicians making backroom deals, and schools were completely closed to the point of cobwebs hanging in the classrooms. Interestingly enough, all of this already happening. Schools are closed. Businesses have been shuttered. And of course politicians are always making deals, the demonically inspired BLM is about to explode, and anyone paying attention to the economy right now knows that something odd is brewing and all is on the verge of collapse.

He yet dreamed another dream (In June) in which he was going to the bank where he was greeted by the president of the local bank. He told her that he needed $10 in quarters for a yard sale. It was then that she let him that she couldn’t give him what he wanted because the U.S. Mint was no longer making change. Plus, she told him to prepare for hyper inflation, and for $1 and $5 bills to follow soon after that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TdpMSMP9x4 (this dream mentioned at the 9 minute mark). This dream has indeed come to pass.  “Yes, There’s A National Coin shortage,” July 21, 2020, https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/07/21/fact-check-america-midst-national-coin-shortage/5439455002/ and “National Coin Shortage: Pennies, Nickels, Dimes, Quarters, Part of Latest COVID-19 Shortage,” June 20, 2020, https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2020/06/20/coronavirus-shortage-coin-supply-pennies-nickels-dimes-quarters/3230828001/

*********

And then there’s the dream of the wolves who sit in the pews, stir up the sleeping people, and then surround the preaching pastors. Basically, it is about attacks on the pastors who are told by the courts and those even in their congregations to be quiet about moral issues etc. There will be threats; there will be intimidation; there will be protests against the churches. It is a sinister and dark dream, and it is coming to pass as well. Here is the link to the dream. 

Here are some links of how it is coming to pass:

**********

Here is yet another dream Pastor Coverstone posted on Facebook July 26th. To view this dream, please connect with this link:

(Even if you are not on Facebook you should be able to view this). In summary, this dream was about how in the month of August a demonic war will be waged against Christian ministers sexually, including lust and pornography; divorces among pastoral staff will rise, and such sin will be exposed. He goes on to say that there are a type of “demonic sleeper cells” working against the ministers and through the ministers and against Christian marriages via sexual oppression, depression, suicide, and drug overdoses. The main thrust of the dream had to do with Christian ministers coming under attack, and Pastor Dana emphasized praying for the pastors. Furthermore, in the dream he mentions United States Postal Service cutbacks (at about the 3.5 minute mark), unemployment being up to 50%, and the coming violent outcry against our government.

In confirmation of this dream, a friend of mine had a dream before ever hearing Coverstone’s dream, and in my friend’s dream their pastor divorced his wife. My friend was shocked upon awakening from such a dream! And then my friend opened their phone to my message about Coverstone’s dream, and proceeded to watch it. My friend was beyond stymied!

Well, in a few ways at least this dream is finding fulfillment.

On August 7th Jerry Falwell Jr. was put on and agreed to an “indefinite leave” of absence from his job as chancellor of Liberty University.  https://www.forbes.com/sites/jemimamcevoy/2020/08/07/jerry-falwell-jr-put-on-indefinite-leave-after-latest-in-a-long-string-of-scandals/#398bb438319a Really, this is nothing new for the Falwells: https://washingtonpress.com/2019/06/19/jerry-falwell-jr-s-pool-boy-scandal-just-escalated-with-nude-photo-revelation/ Then, on August 26, 2020 it was declared that Jerry Falwell, Jr. resigned as president of Liberty University. “Jerry Falwell Jr. Confirms He Has Resigned from Liberty University,” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/aug/25/jerry-falwell-jr-resigns-liberty-university-backtracks

Other ministers are also coming up against exposure as well, such as Evangelist Perry Stone Jr. Here is the Voice of Evangelism’s official statement: https://media.timesfreepress.com//news/documents/2020/07/30/1596142257_VOE_Media-Response_TFP.pdf

Update 11/10/20

On top of this, divorce in the U.S. has risen dramatically since the planned pandemic hit. Here is an article regarding that:

Divorce rates in America soar 34% during COVID; surge not unexpected, says Rose Law Group Partner and Family Law Director Kaine Fisher

Furthermore, there are suicides happening too, as well as an increase of people calling in to suicide hotlines (https://www.sacbee.com/news/coronavirus/article241493126.html; https://www.kxan.com/news/coronavirus/are-suicides-on-the-rise-during-the-covid-19-pandemic/).

Quote:

“Thanks to the new lockdowns that are being instituted all over the country, the number of Americans that are filing for unemployment benefits is starting to rise again…”The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits rose last week to 778,000, evidence that the U.S. economy and job market remain under strain as coronavirus cases surge and colder weather heighten the risks.The Labor Department’s report Wednesday said jobless claims climbed from 748,000 the week before. Before the virus struck hard in mid-March, weekly claims typically amounted to roughly 225,000.” Overall, more than 70 million new claims for unemployment benefits have been filed in 2020. As I discussed yesterday, we have never seen anything like this before in all of U.S. history.”

Below are several more dreams regarding America for the months of September, October, November and December of 2020 as well as January 2021. There are also additional dreams which will continue to be added as Coverstone shares them.

September Dream:

This September dream was FULFILLED. The Church rallied, repented and prayed up a storm. The fires of persecution are on the rise all across America, and the fires of revival have been popping up all over the nation as well, from California, to Texas, to Kentucky, to D.C., from events such as The Return, Prayer March 2020, and “Let Us Worship” rallies led by Sean Feucht being held in many cities across America. And even now, Evangelist Mario Murillo is answering God’s call to hold a tent crusade in Fresno, CA. in spite of restrictions and whatever might be leveled against him. Before his group even set up the tent, they have been going through the city, and people are coming to Jesus left and right, black and white. God is on the move!!!

October dream:

This is the October dream’s link via facebook, https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10223283065174706&id=1527064913

The dream of October has glimpses of voter suppression, false prophets being exposed, leaders ready to explode, etc. Here are a few links regarding this exact issue, and thus, is a partial fulfillment of this dream.

Leadership

11/25/2020

The firecracker leadership portion of the dream definitely appears to be coming to pass right now. And anyone can look it up to see it. The state governors are having power truly go to their heads. Oregon’s governor is threatening people with arrest and telling police to disregard calls about drugs and to instead check on people’s Thanksgiving gatherings. Portland can burn down at the hands of protestors, but law abiding families cannot meet for Thanksgiving or else they’ll be charged with a misdemeanor. California’s governor has called for Californians to cease traveling and limit Thanksgiving gatherings to no more than 3 families outdoors, while he recently was caught dining indoors with a group of unrelated people at the French Laundry restaurant and proceeded to fly to Hawaii for the holiday. In Maine a local restaurant is under severe legal fire by the local state government after the owner appeared on FOX news. Pennsylvania’s government is restricting the sale of alcohol the day before Thanksgiving. Thus alcohol is non-essential. New Mexico’s governor just ordered a lot of the state’s grocery stores to be closed for two weeks, and those allowed to remain open have heavy restrictions on how many can enter at a time. This is causing many to stand in line for hours just to get necessities. Thus, food is non-essential. In Los Angeles (this is the only county in California doing this) all restaurants have been ordered to stop serving outdoors by the LA County Department of Health even though they have none of their own county data to prove the necessity of this decision, and the one who officially declared this does not even have a medical degree nor is she elected. Nevertheless, power has gone to these leader’s heads, and they are ready to blow.

12/04/2020

Quote from the article below: “In addition, the Governor has reduced the capacity of the stores that remain open to the point that many in New Mexico are being forced to wait in line for hours just to get food and supplies.”

National Prayer Summit with NAR coming up October 30th and 31st, 2020 —

(Sadly, I must note, that Mario Murillo will be in attendance at this summit. I am not aware of him being NAR, but most if not all the others of those in attendance are NAR and are false.) https://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word.html?ID=24412&fbclid=IwAR2iaFLTyu84KUzHKf6Yo06pw0AlumZ8k5yYe7bF4IxIAYJXJYpHCQbO4go

Other false and mixed signal “prophetic” predictions can be found at the Elijah List website. It is imperative to note, that all of these so-called prophets and prophetesses not only back Trump, but see him as Cyrus the great, the superhero of heaven, savior of the U.S., and that if one does not vote for him then they are in the wrong boat. If this is really what God wants, time will tell.

Here are a few sources regarding why the NAR are false prophets and false teachers:

The New Apostolic Reformation: Influence and Teachings

“Rick Joyner Knighted by the Knights of Malta,” http://sherryshriner.com/rick-joyner.htm

NAR pastor of Bethel Church in Redding, CA. Bill Johnson, who has a popular school of ministry and is the source of the popular music group Jesus Culture, teaches that Jesus had to be “born again”, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIpVvz63IAg

“In response to a question about how he cultivates gifts such as prophecy, Johnson replied, “When I taught my boys to ride their bikes I took them to the park where there was a lot of grass so that when they fell, they fell safely. You have to create a context for people to learn the gifts, to operate in the gifts of the spirit. You have to give them permission to not get it right. In fact at our school we actually require our students to fail three times their first year. At least three times or they can’t graduate.” – Bill Johnson from the article, “True Prophecies by False Prophets,” https://midwestoutreach.org/2020/03/19/true-prophecies-by-false-prophets/

November Dream:

This does appear to be unfolding right in front of us, for right now the “obvious winner” of the presidential election is “not so obvious” as Trump takes voter fraud claims to court and ballots are recounted. And right now, just like in the dream, the democrat candidate is racing toward the White House. There are also protests around the country. I will post links below this video regarding some of these things. I await the further fulfillment of this dream in the days ahead, but it has begun.

This video of November 11th by End Times Productions presents the trap that has been set for Americans. Blue helmets were mentioned both in this November dream of Coverstone and in his first dream as well (in the orange shirt near the top of this article). There are at least two scenarios that could lead to those helmets in America.

“Proclamation on United Nations Day, 2020,” an official proclamation of the U.S. president on October 23, 2020, https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/proclamation-united-nations-day-2020/

Quote from the proclamation:

“The United States proudly remains the largest and most reliable supporter of the UN and its founding principles. It is in that spirit that we call on all nations to join the United States in working to ensure the UN continues to live up to its noble ideals of liberty, prosperity, and the pursuit of world peace.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 24, 2020, as United Nations Day.

December-January dream:

 

In this dream of December and January, blackouts are predicted in the Southwestern U.S. even up into Canada in spots. This video by Christopher Green covers the fact that upwards to 200,000 Californians are about to have their power purposefully shut off for several days by PG&E. No one can figure out why they are about to do this. Makes no sense. Here is the AMTV link with this breaking news story (in the video, Christopher Green documents the sources regarding this): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0BMEjAainQ To be continued….

Update: 12/03/2020

This dream of December/January also speaks of depression wearing a mask with a sinister smiley face on it who is pushing people down in deep dark depression. Pastor Coverstone also saw food lines in this dream. Here is an article from November 27, 2020 that addresses both food lines and depression: “We Haven’t Seen This Much Suffering On Thanksgiving Since The Great Depression,” https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/we-havent-seen-much-suffering-thanksgiving-great-depression?fbclid=IwAR37Ciu3AF8pceOhdz-uTlV3xKV7iwBa7Lzrh4HQqoDFuC9fAb3KUseGKaE

September 8th: Lady Liberty Dream

For commentary on this dream please visit this link: https://holylight4u.wordpress.com/2020/09/09/pastor-coverstones-dream-of-lady-liberty/

 

Renewal of the Bride:

This vision was recounted on September 22nd (even without a facebook account you should be able to connect and watch this link). We need to “be able to run, so stick to the instructions…Stay braced and occupy until I come.”

September 14 dream plus a more recent dream: posted November 3rd

Dream of September 14th and Vision of September 15th: From Spirit to Flesh (posted October 9th)

This also recounts the vision of the Renewal of the Bride which was shared in the link above from the 22nd. The man in that vision of the Renewal is also the “lumberjack” in the dream that Coverstone talks about in this video. The lumberjack dream is about the death of a tree in a field of trees (Maple?) which have come to life from the top down. The large significant tree in the field of trees that is tapped by the lumberjack likely is symbolic of something demonic, for trees do not bleed nor do they grow from the top down. Usually in the Bible trees are symbolic of angelic entities/principalities or a nation or a human leader, like in Ezekiel 17 and 31 and also Daniel 4. So, something demonic is going on, and this year has been important regarding this.

Dream of September 26th: Ready or Not

This dream portrays an epic battle scene akin to The Lord of the Rings, and either Christians will be ready for the ensuing spiritual battle….or….they will not be ready. There is no in between. This reminds me of Coverstone’s dream of November, wherein the white spirit says that those who have not prepared will be found wanting in the end. So, which are you? Ready? Or, not?

October 20th: Death of a Candidate

Along with a presidential candidate lying in state on December 17th, this dream also addresses the destruction of liberty from the west to the east and a possible shut down of the grid/internet. Pastor Dana does not give an interpretation, but these are my initial thoughts regarding the symbolism in this dream.

Dream posted October 28th: Hold Your Breath

Dream of Americans doing normal things that are suddenly taken off guard by rising waters, but how Christians are braced and ready and unafraid. In the end Christians are encouraged to remain braced and to hold our breath a while longer.

Dreams published November 3rd: The Quaking of America: “Now It’s Up To You Church,” and the Prayer Wall.

One of these dreams is from September 14th and the other is more recent.

Below are three dreams given by God to Pastor Dana Coverstone regarding America in the up coming months of September through November of 2020. God has been warning America for years that as a nation she needs to repent, but America has not. Instead, the nation has gotten worse in her sin and depravity. God then allowed this planned pandemic to give one last warning to America, and to give a wake-up call to His Church. But, that window of time is swiftly closing. Have you heeded the warning? Have you awakened? If not, do so while there is still time; for the time is short, and the call is urgent.

September: ARISE MY BRIDE!

October: Explosive Situations

(This article and any updates can be found at this link: https://wordpress.com/page/holylight4u.wordpress.com/3076)

Did you know that the Psalms are not just pretty songs? Did you know that they are not merely poetic? They are prophetic. That’s right. In an article entitled, “The Time Is At Hand: Psalm 2 and Where We Are Right Now,” (https://holylight4u.wordpress.com/2020/07/10/the-time-is-at-hand-psalm-2-and-where-we-are-right-now/) a worldwide plot against God via this pandemic is revealed, and how Psalm 2 has never been fulfilled in history until right now. Psalm 11 is another such Psalm that is at present being fulfilled. Psalm 2 expressed that there is a worldwide plot against God; Psalm 11 expresses the plot to destroy the righteous and all humanity through the means of arrows, and this destruction, through the means of sharp, piercing weapons, strikes the core of the image of God. And though the devil has done this for centuries and his tactics remain similar, it is imperative to understand what the enemy of our soul is up to right now.

And so, We begin our journey in Psalm 11 which reads as follows:

Psalm 11:1-3

“1 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David In the. Lord I put my trust; How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain”? 2 For look! The wicked bend their bow, They make ready their arrow on the string, That they may shoot secretly at the upright in heart. 3 If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?”

And indeed, though there is nothing new in this, the enemy is, in the year 2020, planning the demise of the righteous and all of humanity. In David’s day, the strategy of wicked people involved a bow and arrow. The Hebrew word used for arrow, hes, means an arrow but also means something that pierces (Strong’s #2671), and comes from the verbal root hasas meaning “to divide, cut off, to divide or separate out something for a purpose” (Strong’s #2686) (*Quote from The Complete Word Study Dictionary: Old Testament.). Arrows are created for the purpose of killing. They are sharp; they are deadly. Even so, the enemy of our soul goes about seeking whom he may devour, in order to steal, kill and destroy them. He shoots his fiery darts with great stealth and finesse, aiming with great precision. He ultimately wants us dead, and through the years has often resorted to physical and emotional tactics to accomplish this goal.

Genesis 6

With his arrows sharpened and ready, the enemy attempted the corruption of man’s seed in Genesis 6 so that the Savior could not come to begin with, because he knew that God predicted that the seed of the woman would crush the seed of the serpent (Genesis 3:15). Through fallen angels trying to mix themselves with humanity in order to corrupt humanity’s DNA, Satan did his best to undermine God’s plan of redemption. But God sent a flood and wiped out everyone and everything but Noah and seven others who still had pure DNA. As it says in Genesis 6:9b, “…Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.”

Unredeemable 

When the Genesis 6 attempt was foiled, the enemy turned to Nimrod who “began to be a mighty one” (altering his DNA) and who unified the world with one voice and one mind against God in the building of the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11. But, God stepped in with confusion and dispersion. Again, the enemy did not succeed in his plan of defiance and destruction. Nevertheless, he continued his rebellious plans, from the death of Jesus on the cross, to martyring Jesus’ early Church followers, the Dark Ages’ believers, and the Reformers. His tactics were not only physical however, for he also corrupted the Church with paganism, infiltrated Christian universities with liberal theologians and professors, defiled the Bible with corrupted translations, and in recent years has polluted the Gospel with deceptive prophets, lying signs and wonders, New Age and Occult philosophies being taught from the pulpit and propagated in books and CDs and all other manner of technology.

But, the enemy doesn’t just want us physically dead and emotionally unstable; he wants us eternally, irredeemably, spiritually damned. And so, he is resorting back to the corruption of human DNA. The first time, in Genesis 6, he did this to pollute the seed of the woman so that Jesus could not come, and thus, man could not be redeemed. When Jesus came, he died for mankind, the race of Adam, who had been made in His image. At the present time, the enemy’s attempt is as sinister as ever. Satan wants us to be in his image, in his likeness, and thus, be unredeemable, for redemption through Christ is only for humanity not any other fallen beings. This would indeed mark them as Satan’s own seed and not God’s seed. Not only this, but He is aiming to keep Christ’s Bride from being worthy by corrupting her genetically.

So, what is Satan’s fiery-dart-arrow-empowered plan this time?

The Ultimate Goal: To be Worshiped

Revelation 13:16-18

“11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666” (emphasis mine).

A practice run of this has already begun, as the world leaders of Psalm 2 lay the foundations of a new world order. They started with a planned pandemic which led to a worldwide quarantine and sheltering in place, which in turn led to the premature deaths of the depressed, lonely and isolated elderly and widows, who already had weakened immune systems, which in turn led to the collapse of businesses, and the implementation of mandatory face masks in several states including Texas and Washington state and around the world including China and Israel and now Scotland since July 10^th. Mere control, however, through fear is not the enemy’s ultimate goal, but rather, to corrupt humanity’s DNA and create worshipers in his own image, kill the righteous and in so doing, defy God and defeat Him. Ultimately, Satan wants to be worshiped.

How does the enemy plan to get there from here? The Mark. But, how does he plan to implement this? For years, people have discussed a chip being placed under the skin. But, in recent days, all over the internet in articles and on youtube there is a lot of talk about ID2020, Crypto Currency 060606, the DARPA Hydra Gel Tattoo, Quantum Dot, Global Vaccination, and so forth. (Please check out my article for links, “Days of Preparation: A Founder’s Warning and Modern Day Testimonies,” https://holylight4u.wordpress.com/a-founders-warning/).

Before we can determine if any of this tattoo, ID, vaccine stuff could possibly apply to Revelation 13 and the Mark of the Beast, we must first understand what the word in the Greek means and if there is an equivalent in the Hebrew. Proverbs 25:2 states, “2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.” So, let’s begin our treasure hunt!

Tatoos and Worship

The Greek word for “mark” is charagma meaning, “an engraving, something graven or sculptured.” It comes from the word charasso that means “to engrave, to carve, to cut in” (The Complete Word Study Dictionary: New Testament, by Spiros Zodhiates, Th.D. (Strong’s #5480 feminine noun, also compared to #5481 masculine noun).

When I read those words, “cut in”, my mind immediately took me to Leviticus 19:28 which reads, “You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD,” (emphasis mine). What are these “cuttings” and “print marks” that God despises?

A “cutting”, (the Hebrew word seret, Strong’s #8296), refers to a self-inflicted cutting of one’s body for a religious reason. It comes from the verbal root sarat (#8295) meaning “to cut or to injure oneself.” When the passage speaks of “print”, the word in Hebrew is ketobet (#3793) which means, “a mark, an inscription,” and comes from the verbal root katab (#3789) that is all about writing and/or engraving. And lastly, when the passage mentions “marks” the word in Hebrew is qaaqa (#7085) meaning, “a tattoo, a mark,” and “indicates incised marks or patterns on a person’s body.”

Here’s the deal. Satan is a copycat. First of all in Exodus 13:9, 16 and Deuteronomy 6:8 and 11:18 express how God’s people were to bind His word on their foreheads and on their hand. In Ezekiel 9:3-6 it also says, “3 Now the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub, where it had been, to the threshold of the temple. And He called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn at his side; 4 and the Lord said to him, “Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.” 5 To the others He said in my hearing, “Go after him through the city and kill; do not let your eye spare, nor have any pity. 6 Utterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the temple,” (emphasis mine). Furthermore, Revelation 7:2-3 states, “2 Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, 3 saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”” And in Revelation 22:4 it tells of the New Jerusalem, the Lamb and His Bride, “3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. 4 They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.”

The Mark: Worship and Luciferase

Satan knows that such marks are an outward expression of worship, and are to be for God alone. However, he, unlike God, is not all-knowing nor all-powerful nor present everywhere at once. Thus, the enemy has for a long time been inspiring technological advances in computers and scientific advances in DNA and virology and vaccine research in order to achieve his goal of world dominance and worship. And he will not be using a chip. His grand plan is to use a mark, but not just any mark.

This mark will not only be a sign of worship, but will transform the worshipers into the image of the one they are worshiping. Why? Because again, the devil is a copy cat. Just as God made us new creations in Christ when we first believed, and is transforming us into the image and likeness of His Son, the devil wants to do the same. How will he do this? By changing one’s DNA. So, what does this have to do with ID 2020, DARPA Hydra Gel Sensor Vaccines, Quantum Dots and mandatory global vaccination? EVERYTHING!!!

If you haven’t already connected the dots, quantum or otherwise, I will put it as succinctly as possible. The enemy’s new arrows of Psalm 11 appears to be the multi-mini-needle point quantum dot, light tattoo vaccine which the Bible refers to as the mark of the Beast. The mark will probably be a tattoo vaccine that will alter the DNA of the receiver. And it makes sense Biblically that this mark will be a “tattoo”, because tattoos in the Bible are all about worship. Though this tattoo may not be visibly seen, it will be “scannable”. This will not be done merely for health, but will be done as an act of worship. Furthermore, if one refuses this mark, there will be dire consequences: no buying, no selling, and almost certain death upon refusal. After all, this technology will be used to link each person to 5G and to the new Crypto currency of the new world order economy. Thus, it is directly linked to one’s economic welfare as well as their eternal destination. And yes, there is such technology, and yes, they are preparing to use it.

“M.I.T. engineers have developed a way to store medical information under the skin, using a quantum dot dye that is delivered, along with a vaccine, by a microneedle patch. The dye, which is invisible to the naked eye, can be read later using a specially adapted smartphone. Credit: Second Bay Studios”. (Diagram/picture and quote are from this link: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/invisible-ink-could-reveal-whether-kids-have-been-vaccinated/). The lower picture, according to this same website, is an up-close, “microscopic” view of the “microneedle array.” This microneedle array will penetrate the skin like little snake bites and will deliver something called Luciferase which are self-illuminating particles that will become a sort of barcode beneath the skin composed of little glowing dots. (Please check out Anthony Patch’s link below for more details).

As Creepy and crazy as that sounds, it gets creepier still!

The Plan: The Mark and the Image of the Beast

For, it is not merely about tracking each person and the new world economic system, it is also about changing humanity’s DNA, and in this way, it makes its deepest mark of all. Billy Crone teaches on this extensively, so I will not go into detail here, but instead will refer you to his videos on youtube via Prophecy Watchers. In short, however, he explains CRISPR and how science can now slice out items from our DNA that are unwanted and can then splice into us the genetic code that they deem acceptable. There is even talk of the removal of the “God-gene”. Why? So humanity will no longer look like God, but instead will be formed into the image of the Beast, the seed of the Serpent. It all goes back to what the snake said in the garden of Eden in Genesis 3:4-5, “4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” This lie is still alive, and will inspire the worldwide worshipers of the Beast to take the mark, that they might be like their god, and they will literally become the seed of the serpent.

And I want to be very clear because the Bible is clear, anyone who takes the mark CANNOT be saved by Jesus. “9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.” (Revelation 14:9-11). You cannot wear the mark of God and of Satan. You cannot wear both marks. Only one.

Recent Discovery Concerning Graphine Oxide

Something new just came to my attention four days ago. This news is pertaining to Graphine Oxide in the COVID vaccines.

Graphine Oxide, also known as GO, is known as a “wonder nanomaterial,” which is “200 times stronger than steel, yet is invisible. It has “high electrical conductivity,” and thus has been used in RFID chips and wrist smart phones and tablets, and “could dramatically increase the power and energy densities as well as the life span of traditional lithium ion batteries.” When it becomes Graphine Oxide (oxide has to do with oxygen being added to it), it is used in water filtration for it is “hydrophilic dispersing readily in water and common organic solvents…It is also fluorescent, which makes it suitable for bio-sensing and disease detection…GO can easily be mixed or modified with different polymers and other materials, to create composite materials with enhanced physical, chemical and electrochemical properties in a process known as functionalisation.” (“Graphene Nanomaterials: Properties, Processes and Applications,” 2017, https://www.mpoweruk.com/graphene.htm).

Though various scientific websites state that Graphine is not toxic, none of them are quite sure how it is in vivo, meaning, in a living thing. However, what is being found is that Graphene Oxide is indeed treated as a toxin in the human body. This toxin is not only present in all of the COVID-19 vaccines, but it also causes the symptoms of what they are calling Sars-CoV-2. Graphene has been transmitted via masks, swabs, previous flu vaccines and now all of the COVID-19 vaccines. Thus, all of the masking and swabbing and even flu vaccines actually helped to bring about the “illness” they are calling COVID-19.

Why is Graphine Oxide being addressed in this article? Number one: it’s in every one of the vaccines. Number two: it is a form of luciferase. That’s right. Luciferase.

Now, what exactly is Luciferase? The College English Dictionary defines it as “the enzyme responsible for bioluminescence in some organisms” (“Luciferase,” https://www.thefreedictionary.com/luciferase), and the American Heritage Medical Dictionary states that Luciferase is “”An enzyme present in the cells of bioluminescent organisms that catalyzes the oxidation of luciferin and ATP, producing light,” (“Luciferase,” https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/luciferase).

According to Wiley Online Library, “Graphene oxide and graphene quantum dots are attractive fluorophores that are inexpensive, nontoxic, photostable, water-soluble, biocompatible, and environmentally friendly.” (“Fluorescence and Sensing Applications of Graphene Oxide and Graphene Quantum Dots: A Review,” https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/asia.201700814)

And what are quantum dots? Science Direct defines them as, “Quantum dots are nanometer-size luminescent semiconductor crystals and have unique chemical and physical properties due to their size and their highly compact structure.” (“Quantum Dot,” https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/materials-science/quantum-dot).

Lee Austin on the Before It’s News website astutely states, “Big Pharma is correct when they emphatically state their jab doesn’t contain Luciferase. However, it appears the graphene contained within the operating system of the shot does create Luciferase once it gets inside the body. In essence, graphene turns light into an electrical current, having the fluorescent properties of a biosensor, an analytical device, used for the sensing of chemical substances, merging the biology of man with a synthetic detector.” (“Graphene Creates Luciferase & A Fluorescent Electrical Current,” article by Lee Austin, July 19, 2021, https://beforeitsnews.com/spirit/2021/07/graphene-creates-luciferase-a-fluorescent-electrical-current-2519632.html).

What does this all mean? We are closer to the Mark than we were before. Much closer. Uncomfortably close. Frighteningly close.

We’re Even Closer Now

As of September 25, 2021, an article was published showing how much closer we are to the ability to utilized the micro-needle vaccine patch.  Here is the link: “3D Printed Vaccine Patch Offers Vaccination Without a Shot – Outperforms Needle Jab in Boosting Immunity,” September 25, 2021, https://scitechdaily.com/3d-printed-vaccine-patch-offers-vaccination-without-a-shot-outperforms-needle-jab-in-boosting-immunity/

On the Precipice

Some may ask, does this mean we are right now in the Great Tribulation? The answer is no. We are not in the Great Tribulation YET. But, we are right on the precipice of it! The foundation of the new world order is being laid by all government leaders at this time, the new economic network is being prepared by every nation, the mark of the beast is either being or is already created, and the planned pandemic and riots are successfully setting up all people of all nations for a one world government and one world leader who will promise them world peace. And just around the corner is a great war of many nations against Israel, and right now there are already rumors of war. We are closer to the Great Tribulation than at any other time in history, which means we are also closer to the return of Jesus for His Bride than at any other time in history as well! Though the enemy is chomping at the bit, the members of secret societies are getting giddy, the elites of the world smell blood, and the people of the world are unwitting, willing pawns in this chess game, God is still on the throne and will have His way, and only His timing will prevail.

Let’s look at Psalm 11 in its entirety:

“1 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David In the Lord I put my trust; How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain”? 2 For look! The wicked bend their bow, They make ready their arrow on the string, That they may shoot secretly at the upright in heart. 3 If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?”4 The Lord is in His holy temple, The Lord’s throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men. 5 The Lord tests the righteous, But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates. 6 Upon the wicked He will rain coals; Fire and brimstone and a burning wind shall be the portion of their cup. 7 For the Lord is righteous, He loves righteousness; His countenance beholds the upright.”

The Test

So, what is going on exactly? Why is God allowing this? Through this enemy-planned-pandemic, God is testing the hearts of His people. It says right there in verse 5, “the Lord tests the righteous”. No, He does not test us to sin. His testing is for our good, for it refines us and makes us stronger. It’s like a teacher testing his students. The teacher does not and should not want his students to fail. Every good teacher wants his students to succeed, to excel, to get an A on the test. Even so, God tests us and wants us to pass the test! Sometimes the testing shows a student’s weakness, an area that needs more study, more attention and effort. The same is true for us. When God tests us, He finds out if there is sin in us that needs to be cleaned out.

So, how is your heart? Did you know that God wants our hearts marked by His circumcision? (Romans 2:29). Did you know that God wants His law written on our hearts? (Jeremiah 31:33). Did you know that we are living letters of God to this world? (2 Corinthians 3:2). Can the world tell that you are marked for God and that Jesus is your King?

Right now, God is testing Christians through this planned pandemic. What is your grade?

Are “You” Ready?

Now, if you are a non-Christian, God is calling you to acknowledge that you are a sinner and to repent of your sin, for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. If we are honest with ourselves, we all know that we are not good enough for a holy God. But, He has provided a way to be cleansed of our sins. His name is Jesus. Jesus is the ONLY way, the ONLY truth, the ONLY life. There is no other name but the name of Jesus given to humanity by which we MUST be saved. When you repent of your sins, He is faithful and just to forgive you of your sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness! And when your confess Jesus out loud with your mouth, that He died for you, and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, you shall be saved. So, if you are not a Christian and you’re reading this article wondering what is going on, please be aware that Jesus defeated, is defeating, and will ultimately defeat Satan; Jesus wins. So, it’s time to repent and surrender to Him that you might be saved!

If you already consider yourself a Christian, I want to call your attention to Daniel 9. Read it, and follow Daniel’s example in repentance. This is IMPERATIVE. Do not think you are exempt. In Ezekiel 14:14, Daniel is listed as one of the three most righteous men. Daniel repented. Have you?

Now, if we have already repented and wept before our God regarding our sin and the sin of our nation and Church, then let’s not despair! Let’s not mourn as if we’ve lost the battle! The enemy army wants us in panic to flee as a bird to our mountain. He is preparing his arrow-like tattoo vaccine for our demise and keeps rolling out surprise attacks to throw us off, to keep us off balance. But, no matter what the enemy’s plans are at present or in future, God is still on His throne! God has coals of fire ready for the enemy! God has fire and brimstone ready to be poured out on all evil!! God has a burning wind ready to blow them all completely and utterly away!!! God wins! And when God is for us, who can be against us?!! (Romans 8:31).

So, it’s time to step out in faith, oh people of God. It’s time to step out in the authority that God has given us by His Holy Spirit. Remember, we who are marked by God, still have the power to trample on serpents and scorpions and all manner of evil. We have on the full of armor of God, don’t we? It’s time to pray up a storm, like never before! It’s time to pray for one another, for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ around the world, for our pastors who are under attack. Let’s make the enemy sorry that he ever messed with us! It’s time to spread the joy that Jesus is coming! It’s time to tell others boldly –strangers and family and friends– that the day of the Lord is at hand, that the time is short, that it is time to seriously seek the Lord NOW, that the day of salvation is TODAY! It’s time to call other Christians to repentance if they’ve not yet repented! It’s time, Bride of Christ, to wake up, trim your lamps, check to make sure you’ve got extra oil, and ARISE AND SHINE, for your light has come, for the glory of the Lord has risen upon you!!!!! (Isaiah 60:1).

Thy Kingdom Come!

Let’s see things from a Biblical perspective: Jesus is coming. Let’s take off our earthly glasses and instead see with Kingdom vision: JESUS IS COMING!!!! Yes, the world is going to get worse. They’ve been upside down a long time, and God is turning the world right side up right now. Everyone is getting dizzy; Those in the pit are getting stirred up; The Lamb is approaching the throne to take hold of the scroll; The angels of Revelation are preparing their trumpets and bowls; The LORD is testing the righteous; The foundations are shaking; The earth is groaning; The demons are screaming; The Bride is waking; The KING is coming!!!! Hallelujah!!!!!

Important Terms/Definitions

*Revival: only happens when God’s people repent. Regardless of all of the churches closing and basically falling like a house of cards, there are those from these churches, myself included, who are incredibly grieved and have repented and are calling others to do so. Yes, the Tribulation is nearly upon us, but that does not mean that God’s people cannot repent and be revived. Some are dubious about revival, speaking down even about Jonathan Cahn’s “The Return”. So, let me be clear. I am not referring to a bunch of lying signs and wonders nor the NAR nor feel-goodism nor ecumenism that mixes the godly with the profane that got us into our dire straights to begin with!! But, God still fulfills His word (Jeremiah 1:12; Psalm 138:2; Matthew 24:35), and He said in 1 Chronicles 7:13-14 that when all that we are seeing right now happens, that when God’s people repent, He will hear, He will forgive and He will heal. “The Return” of September 26th is all about repentance. So, let’s do it, and let God hear and do what He will do.

*Rapture: The Rapture is the transliteration of a Latin word taken from the Greek word Harpazo, which means, “to snatch or seize” by force, suddenly, without warning, and not in secret but openly. If you have trouble with this term, just call it harpazo or the great snatching away. Whatever you call it, it is immanent, whether post-trib, mid-trib, or pre-trib. I will not debate this issue. The Apostle Paul and the early church believed Jesus could come at any moment, and this is to the attitude of any true believer for the past 2000 years (Romans 13:11; I John 3:2-3; Galatians 5:5; Titus 2:13; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18). I hold to their “biblical” view regarding the immanent “snatching  away” of the Church. Furthermore, the language of Jesus and Paul is based in Jewish wedding terminology/phrases. The bride of the Jewish wedding was to be ready for her groom to return suddenly in the night. There is the sense of breathless expectation.

2 Peter 3:10-14,“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.”

More and more often I find myself in grief over all that is transpiring in this world, the absolute madness, the carnage, the devastation, the pain, the suffering. Since the Fall of mankind these things have been with humanity. But, something is different now. Things are suddenly intensifying and accelerating. Even the persecution of Christians has gotten dramatically worse. It seems to be open season on all called Christian. In China those in authority are withholding checks from the elderly and sick if they do not worship their president; they are also taking children from Christian parents and threatening to place them in reeducation camps. In Nigeria roving shepherds are slaughtering Christian families who are often betrayed by their neighbors. In India they are beating up Christian ladies gathered for prayer, usurping church buildings and placing their idols in them, and killing others. In America they are threatening pastors and churches that dare to obey God by meeting with fines and imprisonment and even bulldozing.

Indeed, it is just like Romans 8:22-23 says, “For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.” Everything is “groaning” which in the Greek means that what is deep inside comes out with frustrated moaning, compressed feelings of grief or anger or desire are vented. Like a tea kettle must let off steam because of the intense pressure inside, and a woman in labor groans in childbirth, we as Christians, and I definitely recently, have been sighing, groaning, weeping over the intense pressure coming upon and from within the world. For the entire earth and all of creation, from continent to continent, from ocean to ocean, from nation to nation, all is simultaneously travailing in great pain. It is everywhere. And I am feeling it, and my spirit is crying out internally and via external emissions.

Have you been feeling this too?

So, what is going on? Two things: A great transition from the kingdoms of this world to the Kingdom of our God, and…. the earth is passing away. The earth passing away is the topic of this article.

Second Peter 3:11 expresses this well when it says, “Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved…” In the Greek language, to be dissolved means, “to be loosed, released,” and has a secondary meaning of “destroy, annul.” At first glance, any reader or student may shake their head at the definition of “loosed, released,” but in that definition is great significance!

You see, Jesus holds all of creation together. In Christ the Creator everything created coheres, consists, is adjoined, stands together.

Colossians 1:15-17 reads, “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.”

Hebrews 1:3 declares the profound truth in this statement concerning Jesus, “Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high…”

In science there is the big question, what is it that holds an atom together? They explain it as a force. The scientists at CERN are attempting to blow this “force” apart in order to open a portal, to see what is on the other side of the portal. They are unsure what will lie beyond it, and they fully acknowledge that destruction could follow. But, they are unconcerned about that, and are undaunted by such possibilities. After all, their mascot is Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction, who dances upon the ash heap of a fallen world.

But, God has not placed the destruction nor the creation of this world into the hands of a bunch of blood drinking, occultist scientists at CERN, or any other person for that matter, not even the inventors of the atomic bomb. The end of this world will in no way look like the 1959 movie “On The Beach” wherein man wiped out mankind with nuclear weapons.

Why? Because Jesus is keeping everything from flying apart, holding it all together with His word. Think about that!! The force called gravity or electromagnetism, in all actuality, the powerful word of Jesus. Jesus is holding it all together not with His hands, but with His word!

But one day very soon… Jesus will let it all go… and the heavens and the earth will pass away and “shall be dissolved” (2 Peter 3:11-12), which means that everything will be “loosed/released” from the word of Jesus’ power, and everything will liquefy from fervent heat and be annulled.

And thus, the earth and all of creation is groaning collectively and simultaneously and is growing old and wearing out. Psalm 102:25-27 explains, “Of old hast Thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of Thy hands.26 They shall perish, but Thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt Thou change them, and they shall be changed:27 But Thou art the same, and Thy years shall have no end.” The earth is tired and worn out. Just as the physical body of a human being ages significantly through the years, even so the earth has aged and is elderly now and is worn thin like an overused piece of cloth.

Because the earth and all upon it is dying and destined for destruction, the Apostle Peter reminds us that we are to become all the more focused on living godly lives that are completely God-focused and God-centered. Furthermore, we as Christians are to be expectantly anticipating and eagerly desiring the coming of the day of God – Jesus’ return! We are called by God via Peter to expect and anticipate this, and therefore, are to be all the more zealously eager to be found, after intense inspection, to be blameless, without flaw, and with our minds kept in perfect peace in the sight of our great and awesome and holy God is who is an all consuming fire! (Deuteronomy 4:24; Hebrews 12:29).

Think about this one thing a moment: “that ye may be found of him in peace.” This is the peace of God which passes all understanding that will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). This is the peace that Jesus promised to leave with us that was not like what the world gives (John). This is the peace of Isaiah 26:3 which comes to those whose minds are “stayed” on God. This is a peace that holds us together even as the world and everything in it is falling apart. Jesus is returning for His own who are unshaken, undaunted, and at rest as they abide in Him. As Psalm 91:1-2 powerfully says, “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust,” and Psalm 27:1, 3, “The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?…Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.” In what will King David the psalmist be confident? That the Lord is his light and salvation and the strength of his life and that there is no need to fear. This is that peacefully confident state of mind that God wants to find His Bride in when He returns! He does not want us burdened and weighted down in our thinking with the anxiety, worry and cares of this life (Luke 21:34).

A woman of God and fellow Christian named Joanie Stahl who has a channel on youtube, went hiking in the woods with her husband for a few days at the end of May 2020. I don’t recall if this “get away” was preplanned, but either way, she needed the time to clear her head and hoped to hear from God. She kept asking Him different questions about the issues of the pandemic, face masks, test swabbing, lock-downs, failing businesses, the collapse of the economy, the vaccine, etc. She wanted His direction on what to share with others for their benefit. And then… God spoke. Essentially, as I recall, God said to her regarding everything she’d asked, “That’s not going to matter.” She was puzzled. How was it possible for it not to matter? It was affecting everyone’s lives and causing everything to be disjointed and out of sync. But God kept saying over and over to her in the time she was camping that “that’s not going to matter,” and finally, “all those things are not going to matter anymore, forever.”

I want to encourage us today. Everything that seems too big to us such as losing our job, schooling our kids at home, whether or not we have to wear a mask to get our groceries, who will win the election, or even bigger things like intensified persecution of Christians in every nation and the new world order being established worldwide right now via this pandemic, is not as big as it appears.

First of all, I want to remind you regarding the Goliath of our personal problems, God knows what we need even before we ask Him (Matthew 6:8). Remember? God clothes the lilies of the field more beautifully than rich King Solomon was ever arrayed (Matthew 6:29). And He promises to provide for our needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). So, why are you worrying? Why are you so focused on the problems of life when God is so much bigger? And remember too, it’s all passing away. Nothing we are going through now compares to our eternal weight of glory (Romans 8:18; 2 Corinthians 4:17)!! Second of all, regarding the Goliath of the new world order, remember what God said in Psalm 2 to the nations and peoples and leaders of the world gathered in unity overthrow God and His Anointed One. God in heaven laughs and holds them in derision!! And He warns the proponents and conspirators of this new world order to kiss the Son lest He be angry and perish in the way when His wrath is kindled but a little! (“The Time is at Hand: Psalm 2 and Where We Are Right Now,” https://holylight4u.wordpress.com/2020/07/10/the-time-is-at-hand-psalm-2-and-where-we-are-right-now/). And thirdly, when it comes to persecution, Jesus guaranteed we’d be persecuted and that we are blessed when we are persecuted (Matthew 5), that His grace is sufficient, His strength made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).

So, I encourage myself and the Christian who is reading this, let’s set our minds on things above and not on earthly things (Colossians 3:2). Take off the glasses of this world, and put on an eternal perspective. Let’s make sure our minds are full of peace, that our lifestyles and behavior are holy, and that we are eagerly anticipating the return of our King, our Beloved, our Bridegroom, Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord! Jesus is coming soon!!! Shake off your depression! Refuse to be anxious! Get up, Bride!!! Make sure your garments are white and wrinkle free, that your oil is full, that your lamps are trimmed and burning, that you are fully awake! This world is not our home! Stand up in elation and triumph and lift up your heads, for your redemption is drawing near!!!!

Isaiah 24: The Shaking of the World

Tags

a city whose builder and maker is God, Biblical Plagues, End Times, God's Kingdom, Heaven and earth will pass away, Hebrews 11:10, Hebrews 12:25-29, Ice Age Farmer, If I Were The Devil, Isaiah 24, jesus soon return, Last Days, Looking for a City, Pastor JD Farag, Revelation 11:18, Revelation 12:12, the day of the vengeance of our God, the defilers of the earth, the destroyers of the earth, the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the Kingdom of God

“1 See, the LORD is going to lay waste the earth and devastate it; he will ruin its face and scatter its inhabitants— 2 it will be the same for priest as for people, for the master as for his servant, for the mistress as for her servant, for seller as for buyer, for borrower as for lender, for debtor as for creditor. 3 The earth will be completely laid waste and totally plundered. The LORD has spoken this word. 4 The earth dries up and withers, the world languishes and withers, the heavens languish with the earth. 5 The earth is defiled by its people; they have disobeyed the laws, violated the statutes and broken the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore a curse consumes the earth; its people must bear their guilt. Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up, and very few are left… 19 The earth is broken up, the earth is split asunder, the earth is violently shaken. 20 The earth reels like a drunkard, it sways like a hut in the wind; so heavy upon it is the guilt of its rebellion that it falls—never to rise again. 21 In that day the LORD will punish the powers in the heavens above and the kings on the earth below. 22 They will be herded together like prisoners bound in a dungeon; they will be shut up in prison and be punished after many days. 23 The moon will be dismayed, the sun ashamed; for the LORD Almighty will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before its elders—with great glory.” Isaiah 24

To this point and in spite of evil throughout the centuries, we have been living in a time of the “favor” of the Lord. Jesus even said that that part of Isaiah 61 was fulfilled in Himself (Luke 4). He clearly and abruptly stopped reading at that point in the passage. The very next words He would have read, had He continued, would have been “and the day of the vengeance of our God” (vs 2b). God’s vengeance was not for then. But, today we have crossed that line. And the earth is literally shaking…everywhere.

How can I say this? Look around you. Read world news. Read what they are NOT talking about in the nightly news. The news is all over the internet from viable sources. The world is burning or flooded or plagued; every place hot is now cold, and what was cold is now hot; crops are wiped out in the heartland of America to Africa to the Middle East to Australia to China where they are “recycling” thrown away food. The sea and the waves are roaring tempestuously as tropical storms ravage different parts of the world from China to Texas. Right now you can go out for dinner (as long as you wear a mask and social distance), and you are able to go to the grocery store to pick up what you need for breakfast, lunch, dinner and every snack in between. But there is a day not too far away that you will be unable to do this either because of exorbitant prices or scarcity or both.

Here are some of the stats: Locusts have plagued Asia, Africa, and the Middle East; fires have charred Australia, Russia, Siberia, California and other parts of both the southwestern and northwestern U.S.; flooding is getting worse in China, has destroyed crops in parts of the U.S., and swamped India and Italy; heatwaves have soared exorbitantly high in places known for being cold like Siberia, and cold snaps have frozen places like South America with record frigid weather; strange inland hurricanes called Derecho devastated a 700 mile swath through several states including Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa where grain bins were destroyed and it wiped out 10 million acres of crops; and if this were not bad enough, the powers that be in America have instructed cattle farmers to euthanize their beef; there is a tin can shortage which means there will be a canned food shortage, a coin shortage, mounds and mounds of onions and peaches and shrimp have been recalled because of “possible” salmonella, and lemons, limes, oranges, potatoes,  have been recalled because of “possible” listeria. Furthermore, state governments have been hording large amounts of food (like peanut butter) in warehouses. (Sources for all this is listed below for your convenience).

Could we be in the beginning of this “shaking” spoken of in Isaiah 24? Sound intense? Pardon the expression, but “You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!”

Man has been and is polluting the earth, and I don’t mean with oil spills (although this is horrible) or car exhaust (which stinks). God even mentions those who are the “destroyers of the earth” (Revelation 11:18) and that the earth is “defiled by its people” (Isaiah 24:5). These destroyers are those who kill perfectly good animals for no good reason, dump gallons and gallons of perfectly good milk, and allow crops to rot in the fields. These destroyers are those who recalled perfectly good vegetables because one of them may or may not be contaminated. These destroyers have manipulated DNA, spliced genes, hacked the genetic code, created hybrid vegetables and animals, cloned animals and who knows what else, and are now incorporating all of this into vaccines. These are the destroyers who condone sexual immorality. These are the destroyers who turn a blind eye to adultery and other sexual perversions. These are the destroyers who mutilate their bodies or another’s body with sex changes. These destroyers are those who sterilize young girls, paralyze, and destroy the quality of life of millions of children with vaccines. These destroyers are those who are releasing genetically modified mosquitoes. These are the destroyers who practice eugenics via abortion and euthanasia via sedation and talk of quality of life, etc. These are the destroyers who have been poisoning our food supply for years via pesticides (that are not safe for consumption, nor have they proved it to be safe) and genetic engineering (the seeds abort themselves so that the plant does not continue producing). These are the destroyers who have tainted our water supply with fluoride, and sprayed our skies with heavy metals (chem-trails). These destroyers are those scientists and doctors who play god and really think that they will never be held accountable.

The rabbit hole goes deeper and deeper and deeper. Isaiah 24 goes on to say that the weight of the guilt of its rebellion lies heavily upon the earth. What we are witnessing today is the grave guilt of rebellious man and the death throes of this world (the land, the nations, the animals, and the people). Everything is passing away, and we are seeing it first hand. Jesus even said, “Heaven and earth will pass away…” (Matthew 7:16). Romans 8 speaks of the earth and all of creation groaning in anguish collectively, all together, with one voice. Second Peter 3:10 tells us that when Jesus returns, “the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.”

Some say, our hope is in the election. If so-and-so gets elected there is hope. Really? Do you really want to place your hope in a human? God was angry with Israel for placing their hope in Egypt, why would He see our hope in a politician any differently? God was angry with Israel for wanting a human king in place of His Lordship, why would He treat us any differently for placing our hope in a president? And really, how can one politician help against impending doom? What mortal or angel or scientist or guru or magician can fix this? This is a God-sized problem that can only be healed by our gut-wrenching repentance followed by His unmerited mercy.

This earth is dying. This earth is passing away. This earth is about to be shaken by Almighty God because of the godless, rebels who live upon it and destroy it with their debauchery and witchcraft. “Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea…” (Revelation 12:12). Those who call this world “home” are in for a rude awakening. Americans and Europeans may not be hungry now, but the hunger is coming at breakneck speed to their front door. The desperation is coming like a freight train. The darkness is descending like a tidal wave. The Judge is coming through the door; Psalm 96 and 98 and Isaiah 24 incredibly portray this powerful picture!!

Remember, Christians, this world is not our home. If is inferred in Revelation 12:12 that Christians are one of the heaven dwellers. Even Abraham, an exceedingly rich, prominent and well-respected man, “looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God” (Hebrews 11:10). Second Peter 3:11-14 says, “11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells. 14 So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.”

The Apostle John writes, “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever,” (1 John 2:15-17, emphasis added is mine).

Are we looking for God’s Kingdom? Or are we still too caught up in this life? Are we conducting ourselves in holiness and in complete, unadulterated devotion to God? Or are we more concerned about what others think or feel or how we think or feel? Do we even care that this world is polluted with sin and filth and depravity? Are we grieved by the evil that has been listed in this article, or is it like water off of a duck’s back? Are we still clinging to even the good things of this world like Lot’s wife clung to Sodom?

“See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:29 For our God is a consuming fire.” (Hebrews 12:25-29)

It’s all coming to an end, and God’s Kingdom is coming very soon. And all that can be shaken will be shaken. All that can be removed will be removed. I pray that from now on when you look around at the beauty that is here that you will think, “I haven’t seen anything yet! God has created a city for us. Jesus has built on to His father’s house for us (John 14). And Jesus promised to come soon to get us and take us home (John 14)!”

Until then, let’s be selfless. Let’s share Jesus with someone today at the grocery store, while out on our walk, with our own family, with friends on facebook; write a letter and make someone’s day and encourage them that Jesus is coming soon; bake cookies and take them to your neighbor in Jesus’ name. Find a ministry that has their doors “open” and who is really sharing the Gospel and loving each other and give money to them or give to the poor personally or via reputable ministries so that you can lay up treasure in heaven (Matthew 6). Like the title of an old, eccentric, funny but very poignant movie, You Can’t Take It With You! (More to come on this topic of Kingdom Currency in a later article).

So shake off the shackles of this world. Relinquish all ties to this earth. Let go of its pleasures, even its goodness, for it all is passing away. Release your American dream, for it too is like a corpse. See things for what they are. It is time to move on. It is time to go home.

We Are At War: The Sword of the Spirit

We are at war whether we want to be or not. We can call ourselves passivists, anti-war, but open war is upon us whether we like it or not. As for myself, I hate war and want nothing to do with it. Nevertheless, I and you and all of us are involved in a very real, spiritual war that is raging all around us. Ultimately, the war is won. Jesus won it at the cross. But, there are still daily battles in which the enemy tirelessly engages us.

But we are not to be on the battlefield without armor on. That is why God has fully fitted us with the perfect armor in order that we might win the battles in our daily lives. He has given us a very ornate, impenetrable helmet of Salvation. First of all, this means that Jesus saved us and set us apart for holy service in His Kingdom. But the salvation does not end there. It is a minute by minute salvation for our minds as well. When we eagerly put on our helmets, our thinking is protected and becomes more and more Christ-like as we are transformed by the renewing of our minds by the Word of God.

Furthermore, we are equipped with the sparkling belt of truth. And this we found out is no ordinary belt, but rather, is the defining feature of a soldier. Whether on the battlefield or off, the Roman soldier was recognized because of this distinct belt. This belt even made the soldier walk differently, stand differently, and act differently. No one else walked or stood like a soldier, and no one else wore such a belt. This for the Christian is the belt of truth, for the truth makes us walk differently, talk differently, act differently. The truth is what sets us free. The truth is what distinguishes Christianity from all other religions of the world. Not only this, but the belt of truth is that upon which much of the armor is connected in some form or fashion including the breastplate of righteousness and the sword.

So, let us continue learning about other pieces of this elaborate, protective, and ornate armor. Today we’re going to discover the Sword.

In Ephesians 6:17-18 we read,

“Also take…the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God…”

Sword practice

In the time of Jesus, Rome was all about achieving power and keeping power. Thus, having an army ready for battle and in top notch condition was vital for attaining this goal. War was a way of life. Battles were the norm. To be apart of the Roman machine was a mark of distinction. To be a Roman soldier was a thing of pride. And to know the art of war was beyond imperative.

“Because the Roman army was so committed to warfare, Roman soldiers continually practiced the arts of warfare. One daily exercise was sword practice, which they undertook both in the morning and the afternoon. Every soldier practiced sword fighting by striking a six-foot-high wooden post that was firmly fixed in the ground. This post became the soldier’s “enemy” during practice. Just as he would if he were fighting a real enemy, the soldier would advance upon his target, strike hard with his sword, and then retreat” (Sword Power! By Rick Renner, https://renner.org/sword-power/)

The ancient Roman writer Vegetius described Roman sword-fighting tactics in his book Concerning Military Matters, saying, “They were likewise taught not to cut, but to thrust with their swords…a stab, though it penetrates but two inches, is generally fatal” (“Sword Power!” By Rick Renner).

The Machaira and the Belt:

There were different types of offensive weapons that the Roman soldier could utilize. A dagger called a pugio was on the left side of the belt; arrows would be attached on the belt, as well as the shield when not in use; and then there was the sword. Other weapons of war included a long sword (a spatha) and a short sword (a gladius); there was also a javelin (pilum) for throwing.

The specific type of sword mentioned in Ephesians 6:17 is the (#3162) machaira meaning, “A knife, a slaughter-knife, a sword for cutting.” It can be a generic term for sword, but throughout history it is said to have had a curve at the tip, was often sharp only on one side, was made for cutting, and was made to kill.

Interestingly enough, “Legally, the wearing of arms – especially a sword – at all times in public defined the soldier” (“The Roman Military Belt,” by Stefanie Hoss, http://www.academia.edu/212354/The_Roman_Military_Belt pg 29). It “separated soldiers from civilians by the right to wear arms – especially a sword – at all times in public” (“A Theoretical Approach to Roman Military Belts,” Stefanie Hoss, idea from Brunt 1975, pg 318). Therefore, the sword never left the Roman soldier’s side. Never. Not only was it legal for them to wear the sword at all times, but it was imperative, for the sheath of the sword was permanently attached to the belt. Other things could be removed from the belt such as the dagger and its sheath, but the sword’s sheath could not be removed. And a sheath without a sword would look very odd. According to Stephanie Hoss, “…the sword’s sheath was connected to the belt in a manner that probably took some time to take off. If one wanted to take off the sword, one usually took off the sword-belt with the sword in its sheath” (“A Theoretical Approach to Roman Military Belts,” Stefanie Hoss, http://www.academia.edu/4849015/A_Theoretical_Approach_to_Roman_Military_Belts, pg. 321). Thus, the Roman soldier went nowhere without his belt or his sword inseparably linked.

The Truth and the Word

Just as the belt and the sword were inseparable, the Truth and the Word of God are also inseparable. Time after time in Scripture the Word of God is equated with Truth from 2 Timothy 2:15 to Ephesians 1:13 to Colossians 1:5 to 1 Thessalonians 2:13 in the New Testament; to Psalm 119:43 and Psalm 119:151 in the Old Testament. Numbers 23:19 states, “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” Furthermore, Jesus in John 17:17 when praying to the Father asks that the Father “Sanctify them through Thy truth; Thy word is truth.” Not only this, but Jesus said that He Himself is “The Way, the Truth and the Life.” As we can see, God does not lie, God is truth, and therefore what He says is truth. His word and His truth are inseparable.

Rhema vs Logos

The sword to the Roman soldier was serious business, and was a matter of life and death. The one who treated it as such would live longer than a soldier who did not. For the enemy was out to kill them. It was kill or be killed. It was conquer or be conquered.

In Ephesians 6:17 it states that the Sword of the Spirit is the Word of God. The Greek word used for “word” in this instance is not the usual term of Logos referring to the written word (like the term used for Jesus when it says that He was the Word/Logos made flesh), but instead is the term Rhema. The Greek word Rhema (Strong’s #4487) means “to speak” particular sayings rather than complete sayings. It is from Rheo (#4483) meaning, “To say, speak, utter definite words”. Basically it has to do with being specific. In other words, it’s the exact Word of God needed for a specific situation.

“This is so powerful — and I want to tell you why! Had Paul used the word logos in this verse, he would have implied a “sweeping stroke” against the enemy, and this would never do. You see, the logos — although broad, heavy, wonderful, and full of general direction for our lives — is not sufficient to deal the enemy a fatal blow. We need to stab the enemy! This will require a rhema — a specific, quickened word from the Scriptures, placed into our hearts and hands by the Holy Spirit. With a rhema from God placed in our hearts and hands, we have real sword power to use against the enemy!” (Rick Renner, “Be Sure to Go to Sword Practice,” https://renner.org/be-sure-to-go-to-sword-practice/)

Important to Note

Thus, we see that the Word of God is a specific word of God, called a Rhema word. The Sword of the Spirit is meant to be used and made to kill. Sword practice is imperative. And even when not in a battle the Sword is never to be detached from the Belt of Truth, and the Belt is never to be taken off.

Example of How to Use the Sword

And excellent example of using a Rhema word, ie a specific, Spirit-inspired word, is found in Matthew 4:1-11.

“Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.”

Yet Another Way to Use the Sword

But, there is one more important thing to take note of, and that is this. The Sword of the Spirit is used through prayer. Though most if not all translations of the Bible do not capture this connection, in the Greek the connection is inseparable.

A more literal translation of Ephesians 6:17 ties it in with verse 18 and reads as follows,

“Also take…the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God through all prayer and petition, praying at every [all] time in the Spirit, and watching to this same thing with all perseverance and petition concerning the saints” (A Literal Translation of the Bible, by Jay Greene, Sr. 1985)

“Through All Prayer and Petition”

We are to take hold of the sword of God’s specific Rehma words for specific situations and continuously use it by means of earnest prayers and wishes made aloud and beseeching petition for particular needs. You see, the word for “prayer” literally means “to wish or pray or vow” aloud and with great earnestness. The word for “petition” means “to make one’s particular needs known” to someone superior to the one requesting. It carries with it the feeling of great need, even neediness, and of being reduced to want.

Through: #1223, dia means literally through or throughout, but has the implied meaning in this case of “by means of”. It also carries with it a sense of time and implies ongoing time, continuous time.

So, in reference to prayer in this passage it could read: “continuously use (God’s word) by means of prayer”.

All: #3956, Pas which literally means all and “includes the idea of oneness, a totality, or the whole” (The Complete Word Study Dictionary New Testament,” Edited by Spiros Zodhiates Th.D., page 1125).

Prayer: #4335, prosueche “offer prayer” in general from the verb, proseuchomai, “to wish to, to pray to” and is composed of two words: pros = to (4314) and euchomai = to wish, pray (2172)

#2172 euchomai literally means “to pray or vow” aloud, to speak out loud, “to desire earnestly.”

Petition: #1162, deesis meaning “to make known one’s particular need,” beseech as an inferior to a superior. From #1189 implies “To be reduced to want,” or can mean “to lack for oneself, to need”. So, a “prayer for a particular need, supplication.”

God wants us to come to Him with our great need, our earnest desires, our incredible wishes, to speak them out loud and often. But, He doesn’t just want us coming to Him with our own words. He wants us coming to Him with His own words. He wants us to be reading and memorizing and meditating upon His Logos (that is the whole Bible) so that in moments of distress the Holy Spirit can bring to our minds and quicken us with His Rehma Word (a specific passage from Scripture) for our individual situation, our specific necessity (John 14:26; I John 2:20).

Conclusion

Though the shield of faith can be viewed as an offensive weapon (as described in the article listed below), it is not offensive in and of itself, for it must be used in tandem with the sword. The Sword of the Spirit could be said to be our only truly offensive weapon in our God-given arsenal. We don’t have grenades that we can lob from a distance. We don’t have cannons with cannon balls that can blow our enemy away before they even reach us. We don’t have airplanes with bombs on board to send cascading down on the enemy’s military forces behind enemy lines. We don’t even have a handgun for protection. God instead has given us a Sword for wrestling in hand-to-hand combat with an enemy that is near enough to wrestle with, his rancid, sulfurous breath breathing in our faces.

And like the Roman soldier always wore his belt, even so we are to keep on our belt of Truth which is the Logos word of God (the whole Bible), upon which is the inseparable sword of the Spirit that is the Rhema word of God. This Sword of the Spirit is to be worn proudly every day in every situation and is never to be removed at any time. According to 1 Thessalonians 5:17 we are to “pray without ceasing.” In both Matthew 7:7 and Luke 11:9 Jesus encourages His followers to ask, seek and knock. In the Greek these words do not mean that we only ask once, but rather, the tense strongly implies that we are to continually ask and keep on asking, seek and keep on seeking, knock and keep on knocking. We are to be persistent like the widow with the unjust judge, for our God is not unjust (Luke 18). The sword of the Spirit which is the word of God is to be used in prayer and petition continually. And it is extremely effective and deadly to the enemy when we live a lifestyle of rightly dividing God’s Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15-16), when we live a lifestyle of prayer, and when we combine both the Word of God and prayer via the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

It is not called “the art of war” for no reason. It is an art. It is an art form in that we must practice. Remember the saying “practice makes perfect”? But it is also an art in that we must allow for inspiration, specifically, Holy Spirit-Inspiration. After all, it is the Holy Spirit’s sword. Thus, we must carefully listen for His still small voice in order to let Him direct us regarding what scriptures to use in prayer. Without His inspiration, the Sword will remain inactive at our side. God must teach our hands to war, even as He did for King David in Psalm 144.

“Also take…the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God through all prayer and petition, praying at every [all] time in the Spirit, and watching to this same thing with all perseverance and petition concerning the saints” (A Literal Translation of the Bible, by Jay Greene, Sr. 1985).

The enemy without ceasing, night and day, tirelessly wrestles against us. So, let’s diligently keep on praying the Spirit-inspired rhema word of God over each others’ lives, keeping in mind always that Jesus is praying for us (Romans 8:34) and that we are therefore “more than conquerors through Him that loved us” (Romans 8:37).

And,

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:35-39)

Knowing this, let us take up the Sword of the Spirit and persevere!

Great evil is descending on the world. These two youtube videos reveal the evil that is unfolding before our very eyes. This is heavy stuff. They are all about “resetting” the world. And they are using the children and dancing UN troops in their blue helmets, and they have their own music to move the masses with hopes of rising again, closing borders, a new world order behind closed doors, the storm will pass; we will survive. Plus, they are doing dastardly things in Australia and New Zealand. My heart is sickened! And more is constantly coming…

Who is “they”? The elite. The leaders of the world. The powers that be. The deep state. Secret Societies. And they are no joke nor conspiracy theory. They are those spoken of in Psalm 2. Please, read this article regarding this Psalm: https://holylight4u.wordpress.com/2020/07/10/the-time-is-at-hand-psalm-2-and-where-we-are-right-now/

Are you still thinking things are going to get better? Are you still planning vacations, going to work like usual, adapting to your kids being schooled from home, trying to avoid bad news, and hoping things will be all good by Thanksgiving? 

Please, know that things are not business as usual. Things are different. Can’t you feel it? Ask God to show you if you can’t feel anything. Listen to those who can detect the difference. Yes, this is a major inconvenience! But, it’s real; it’s here; it’s now. Ready or not, it has descended upon the world like a formidable, unexpected storm of tyranny, food shortages (have you noticed how many recalls there have been on food — on lemons because of possible listeria, onions and peaches because of possible salmonella contamination, as  well as the destruction of our meat supply at meat packing plants?), crazy weather,  including record cold in South America, record heat in places like Siberia, destructive flooding worldwide, locust plagues, etc.  (and it’s not man-made climate change; it’s God-caused). For more info regarding what is happening in the U.S. and worldwide please check out this article: “Isaiah 24: The Shaking of the World,”https://holylight4u.wordpress.com/2020/08/24/isaiah-24-the-shaking-of-the-world/ and “The Time is at Hand: And There Will Be Signs,” https://holylight4u.wordpress.com/2020/07/16/the-time-is-at-hand-and-there-will-be-signs/

But, God does not leave us helpless. God does not leave us alone. I encourage myself in this as well. He sent us His Spirit who never leaves us, and He gave us authority in Jesus’ name and taught us how to pray so that we are not defenseless. So, don’t just throw up your hands; don’t just roll over and play dead; don’t just say ‘whatever will be will be’. Remember who you are and the weapons He has given you for such a time as this!

“3For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4For the weapons of our warfare are not [a]carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6. “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the [b]wiles of the devil. 12For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of [c]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.13Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand…18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—” (Ephesians 6:10-13, 18, emphasis added is mine). May the Lord teach our hands to war! (Psalm 144:1).

Strangers Among Us: The Clergy Response Team

Dear Christian Reader,

My heart is incredibly grieved today. I tell you the hits just keep coming. Last evening via a LONG comment in the comment section of a Lynn Leahz program with Tony Koretz (of the youtube channel AMinuteToMidnite) from September 25, 2018 leaped off the page (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgsWfIOsO28). It propelled me to dig deeper, and in so doing, I uncovered a pocket of putrid filth.

Because the President declared the U.S. to be in a “national state of emergency” on March 13, 2020 (legally beginning March 1st according to the whitehouse.gov website (https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/proclamation-declaring-national-emergency-concerning-novel-coronavirus-disease-covid-19-outbreak/), FEMA is now in charge, at least through September 1st. This video explains what it means to have FEMA in charge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCl5FqLYeKE (15 min mark–FYI: Richie is rough around the edges, but he is a concerned Christian and ex-military sharp shooter). Celeste Solum who worked for FEMA for 20 years also speaks about what it means to have FEMA in charge (Celeste Solum – Blueprint for the AI 666 Beast System is now “Live”. Important Info!” April 21, 2020, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adNpirdjeHc). Did you know that FEMA is in charge?

If this is not disturbing enough, did you know that there is a FEMA Clergy Response Team? These volunteer clergy are upwards to 100,000 strong now, and are all about quoting Romans 13 as a reason to obey the government in the time of a national emergency. These clergy have taken FEMA classes online and in person, and accompany FEMA workers, etc on their missions in order to comfort and persuade those who do not want to leave their homes, who do not want to be relocated, who do not want to give up their farms, their guns, their kids, their crops, their animals; in other words, they do not want to comply.

This is what I am really writing about today: the FEMA Clergy Response Team. I am beyond grieved –grieved does not even touch how I feel– regarding this issue. This team has been dubbed, “Judas Goats” because they, in effect, lure the flock to their demise, but they are supposedly spared.

Have you been wondering why the churches of the United States caved so quickly? This just may be one of the main reasons why. Either their pastor or one of their leadership or someone at the top of their denomination (for most denominations are involved in this) quite possibly influenced the unprecedented closing of the church doors.

Just recently, 2,700 Evangelicals signed on to support the government and science being propagated in the media. (“2700 Evangelicals Warn Against Politicizing Coronavirus, Urge Christians to Take Vaccine,” August 20, 2020, https://www.christianpost.com/news/2700-evangelicals-warn-against-politicizing-coronavirus-urge-christians-to-take-vaccine.html). Though I am not sure if this is linked to the FEMA clergy thing, it can still be added in to an already very thick stew of intrigue and evil amidst God’s people. Second Timothy 3:13 says, “But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.” This is the case here.

Furthermore, the NAR has for years glorified the Republican party and the current president, stating that he is a man appointed by God, a Cyrus, and a friend of Israel. They have published books on their dreams, been invited on television programs, and spoken at conferences, etc. Thus, they too have built everyone up to believe this president and Republicans regarding everything and anything because God is behind it. Again, though I am not clear on if this is directly linked to the FEMA Clergy Response Team, they do appear to have worked in tandem to prepare the response of the sheep.

“Clergy Response Teams,” January 10, 2017 (note the date was 3 years ago) https://www.exposingsatanism.org/clergy-response-teams/

Quote from this source:

““They’re not using the term ‘quarantine’ – this is the term they’re going to be using – it’s called ‘social distancing’ don’t you like that one,” said the Pastor. He also highlighted how detention camps had been renamed to give them a friendly warm veneer. “Three months ago it was quarantine and relocation centers and now it’s ‘community centers’ and these are going to be activated at the local schools,” he said. Pastor Revere outlined the plan to carry out mass vaccination and enforced drugging programs in times of crisis such as a bird flu outbreak. “In the event of an outbreak or a bio-terrorist attack, there’d be a mass vaccination….they have a program nationwide ‘Pills in People’s Palm In 48 Hours’,” said the Pastor who was told that Walmart had been designated as the central outlet of this procedure… In another twilight zone Nazi-like spectacle, Pastors were asked to make a pledge or an affirmation during the meeting to fulfill the roles ascribed to them by FEMA. They were given assurances that they would be covered by full compensation in the event of resisters injuring them during property seizures and round-ups.”

Quote from this source:

“”TV Station Reporter Jeff Ferrell on KSLA – Shreveport, LA said “these clergy response teams had already been used when hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans.” Emergency Preparedness Director Sandy Davis explained to KSLA that the Clergy would already be known to people in the neighborhoods and they could explain the need to follow orders. Durell Tuberville, Chaplain of the Shreveport Fire Department said that when the government orders people to abandon homes, turn over guns, leave livestock behind, or whatever…(it) would be easier to accept if a minister is with the FEMA worker. Tuberville said “One of the biggest tools the clergy members would use would be the Bible itself, specifically Romans 13, the Bible states the government’s established by the Lord, you know. And, that’s what we believe in the Christian faith. That’s what’s stated in the scripture.””

Quote from this source:

“The Teams are alive and well. Thousands of Pastors have attended training over the years. Now that we’re in a lock down, keep your eyes & ears open. In my radio interviews in 2006-7 and again 2014 til now, I emphasized that FEMA would use the term “Social Distancing” instead of “Quarantine” as it’s more acceptable to the public. Well, here we are, with politicians, the media, and citizens using the term as if it’s cool or the right thing to do.”

If you have heard of this, perhaps you’d consider telling everyone about it again. If you haven’t, please consider looking into this and then passing on the word.

Please, research this carefully and prayerfully. Just when we think things can’t get any worse, we find out that yet more evil has been unfolding and is unfolding. Big Sigh!!! Indeed, what is next?

Do We Really Want to Go Back To “Normal”?

Tags

Alexis de Tocqueville, ambassadors of Christ, America is great because she is good, American Christianity, Christians in America, Christians longing for normal, End Times, God's Kingdom, Heaven is our home, Jesus' Return, Last Days, our citizenship is in heaven, Peter Marshall, Sin in America, the Kingdom of God, Titus 2:13

Those of you Christians who are awake to what is going on in America and the world, have you been grieving? I and my family have been grieving: grieving over all that made America good and great; grieving over our hopes we once held for the future; grieving over mask mandates, closed churches, milk toast pastors, the collapse of the economy, people who have lost their jobs, the masses of American’s swallowing lies hook, line and sinker, businesses in bankruptcy, friends who had planned to visit, hoped for vacations, saving up for future home renovations, buying a new car, and on and on and on. In other words, we’ve been grieving over “normal.” Oh how often I’ve said, I want to get back to normal. Have you wanted that too? Have you been grieving too?

But, in answer to that I’m going to ask another question. Are you sure you want to go back to “normal”?

Of course when I think of normal, I mean the good and godly America that really has not been around for a long time. It was the America of the 1950s and before that. It was that nation that filled Scotsman Peter Marshall, who was a former chaplain of the U.S. Senate (in the 1940s) and pastor of the church of the presidents in Washington D.C., with great pride and a sense of respect and awe. It was that nation that caused Alexis de Tocqueville to remark, “America is great because she is good; when she ceases to be good she’ll cease to be great.” And that goodness, he pointed out, came out of the churches, and was a righteousness that emanated from the church to the people and thus impacted the society.

But, that normal has not been around for quit awhile. Little by little that goodness became contaminated: in the colleges, in the seminaries, in the public schools, in the movies, in the music, in the churches and in the homes. Truly, no matter how much we love Jesus, we all have been impacted by the culture of sin around us.

So, let’s look at the real “normal” a second…

Broken families. High divorce rates. Addiction of all kinds including pornography, alcohol, drugs, food, shopping. Hearts and minds that have become desensitized to sin. Indulgence in movies teaching worldly philosophies and hedonistic, selfish, immoral behavior. Christian couples living together before marriage. Spiritually dead churches. Ministers who didn’t even believe the Bible is the inspired word of God. Lying signs and wonders in churches deemed as godly and good. False prophets declared greater than the prophets of the Bible. The approval of the homosexual lifestyle by church denominations. Christians constantly vacationing and investing in worldly pursuits. Christian individuals addicted to and worshiping the idol of busyness. And this is all just among Christians. I did not mention the normal out in the world such as the persecution of photographers, bakers and other business people who were fined or prosecuted for not catering to homosexual weddings, the murder of unborn, road rage, the Bible being removed from schools, prayer not allowed in schools or sporting events, teachers and coaches being fired or suspended for praying with their students or team, Satanism vying for equal treatment with Christians in schools etc., homosexual marriage, the sex slave trade, lying politicians, immoral sex education being taught in the schools, school shootings, sex being promoted in anything and everything, the worship of sports, and large numbers of children joining and/or dabbling in Wicca, Witchcraft, Satanism, and other Occultism.

That was our American normal. There was a whole lot more to list, and I’m sure you could add to it as well. But, you get the point.

So, every time I begin to desire returning to normal, I am struck with the grave realization that we cannot return to normal. Sin is there. Evil is there. Godlessness is there. Enslavement is there. The nation has not repented. A large number of churches have not repented either. America has forgotten God. Even the American churches have forgotten God. And God cannot bless a nation that does not honor Him. And who wants to return to a “normal” that does not have Him front and center and in the place of honor He belongs? And for what are we hoping and fighting when America is riddled with sin like cancer?

We long for “normal”, but just like when Israel resided in Egypt, normal meant enslavement. We cannot return to normal just like Israel could not return to Egypt. God was leading Israel to something far better than Egypt, a land flowing with the bounty of milk and honey. Just as God called Israel to be holy and set a part, He is calling us as Christians to do the same, to not look back but to look up, for He is leading us to “a land that is fairer than day, and by faith we can see it afar.” Except, it is not that far away anymore. It is at the door.

America is not our home. Please, let that sink in. Go ahead and grieve her loss. But in that loss comes great gain. For, all that we knew and loved in America – all the goodness and godliness and the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and the wholesomeness and family things and warm fuzzies – did not originate here. It originated in a Kingdom whose Builder and Maker is God, and His Kingdom is coming. We may think our hearts long for America, but in reality what we long for is our righteous King and His Kingdom. And try to wrap your hearts around this: We are citizens (Philippians 3:20) and ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20) of the eternal, heavenly Kingdom of God, who happen to reside in a temporary, earthly nation called America. Our allegiance is to God’s Kingdom and no other.

The next time you begin to pine for the good old days, remember, there are far better days in an eternity that is drawing nearer now than ever before in history. There may be very hard days ahead, but let’s set our hearts on the Promised Land not idolatrous Egypt. There may be grave persecution and tumultuous times, but let’s set our hearts on the righteous Kingdom, not our fallen, unrepentant nation. Let’s not be so obsessed with the things of this earth, no matter how good, that we are so covered with “earthiness”  instead of Christ. Let’s look to King Jesus for our peace and security, not our unregenerate, degenerate leaders. Let’s long for heaven, our real home, not this world that is passing away and is in its death throes. And let’s not look back to the days of our slavery with stars in our eyes because of some good we got out of it. Remember Lot’s wife. Do not look back. Instead, look up. Truly, let’s STAND UP at attention and LOOK UP in anticipation, for our King is coming soon! (Luke 21:28). This is our blessed hope! (Titus 2:13).

Prophecy Fulfilled at Breakneck Speed

Tags

Bible Prophecy fulfilled, Bible Prophecy in the news, biblical peace plan, Ecumenism, Jerusalem is Jewish forever, Luke 21:28, Pastor Ray Bentley, Pastor Ray Bentley Maranatha Chapel, prophetic news headlines, Revelation 17, Saudi Arabia says the Temple Mount is Jewish, the great prostitute of Revelation 17

Christian readers, there is still more Biblical prophecy being fulfilled right before our eyes, and at breakneck speed. Just over the past few days it has come to the attention of the watching world that a peace agreement was indeed, agreed upon by the U.S., Israel, and the UAE (United Arab Emirates). It is called the “Abraham Accord,” because according to the President and U.S. Ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, said Abraham was the “father of all three great faiths.” Only two other Arab nations have peace agreements with Israel: Egypt in 1979 and Jordan in 1994. More nations will follow this precedent soon. More than likely the two who will swiftly follow will be Oman and Bahrain, who were present and supportive of the peace agreement set forth on January 28, 2020 (https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/president-trump-unveils-middle-east-peace-plan-embraced/story?id=68586820). An ABC news article from January 28^th reads, “While ambassadors from Oman, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates attended the White House event — and received standing ovations when lauded by Trump and Netanyahu — the plan was widely rejected across the Muslim world.” They feel this is so grand that the President is being heralded as a “peace maker” and some are calling for the President to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. (https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/nobel-prize-peace-peacemaker-uae/2020/08/13/id/982022/)

A part of this August 13^th peace plan states that Israel will open its doors for Arabs to freely visit the site of the Al-Aqsa mosque, and all faiths will be welcomed with open arms in Jerusalem.

This is not only historic, it is a fulfillment of Bible prophecy and points to the undeniable fact that we are in the last of the Last Days. The Abraham Accord and it’s openness to Muslims being able to travel to and from Jerusalem completely aligns with passages of Scripture that state Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by Gentiles. Revelation 11:2 states, “2 But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months.” And Luke 21:24b says, “ And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.”

Not only this, but the ecumenical plan is marching forward via this peace plan, by calling Abraham the father of all faiths. Note, God called Abraham the father of all nations not faiths. Nevertheless, the great prostitute of Revelation 17 is gaining greater seductive power over the entire world and is promoting a facade of peace. Back in February 2019, the Pope was invited by the crown prince of the UAE, which was unprecedented, and while there he was welcomed to hold public mass for over 120,000 residents of the United Arab Emirates. Mass!! In a Muslim nation?! Indeed, the plot thickens! And Saudi Arabia was quoted as saying they too may invite the Pope to their nation, lauding a “new era of religious tolerance in the Gulf.” (“The Significance of Pope Francis’ UAE Visit is Impossible to Exaggerate (Nobel Committee Take Note),” https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/the-significance-of-pope-francis-uae-visit-is-impossible-to-exaggerate-nobel-committee-take-note).

Furthermore, it is said in Daniel 9:26, that “one” will come along who will make peace by signing a covenant with “many”, and by peace shall destroy many according to Daniel 8:25. Revelation 6:2 also says, “I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.” Are the horses of Revelation galloping yet? Maybe… Was the antichrist of the new world order a part of the recent peace accord with the UAE? More than likely. Do we know who it is? No. Could this be a part of the covenant made with many? Maybe. It certainly is of biblical proportions!

We are definitely living in interesting and exciting times. Over the past few months it has been hard to keep up with how swiftly Bible prophecy is coming to pass in the breaking news headlines. I hope by now you all have fastened your Biblical seat belts and are paying attention to the signs of the times. If you’ve not been paying attention, it is time to do so or else you are going to miss your exit!!! I remind you, things are happening fast – at warp speed. And Jesus said when you “begin” to see these things come to pass, do not cower and shudder and try to hide like everyone else, but instead, STAND UP with poise and at attention, even in elation, and LIFT UP your heads in anticipation and fearlessness for your redemption is drawing near!!! (Luke 21:28)
