A web that was spun around and through the Body of Christ over the past few decades is now coming to light, and it is thick, strong, and sticky. It is a web that for a long time remained hidden in the shadows, but those shadows no longer exist. 2020 removed those shadows. And though the brooding darkness hovers overhead like a gathering storm, there is still light in the Body of Christ that is still exposing and confounding that darkness. What is troubling is that there are many in the Body, including the leadership, that remain entangled in that demonic web of deception, even now. But, I pray that their eyes will be opened to the truth that is there to set them free.
In recent days I have been reading of too many pastors and other commentators misusing the Scripture regarding meat sacrificed to idols in both Romans and 1 Corinthians in order to make a point about the vaccine. I even received an email (a bulk email) myself from a former pastor of mine. He, like a good many others, nearly always take the tact that the ones who are against something are of the weaker conscience, and those who are for something are of the stronger conscience. They then either conclude that we as Christians are to quit judging each other regarding gray areas OR we are to love each other OR both.
Romans 14:1-3 is often quoted, “1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him,” and 1 Corinthians 8:9-13 which says, “9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.”
With those two passages they will then go on to make the point of application that we are not to judge one another’s choice to take the vaccine or not to take the vaccine. We are to love each other even when we do not agree on such ‘gray areas’. Taking the vaccine is violating the conscience of some believers, and Christians who have had the vaccine ought to show them compassion even if they do not understand. Plus, those who are not taking ought to be gracious with those who have. No matter whether one takes the shot or does not take the shot, the Biblical response is to be loving and compassionate. So long as what is done is done in faith and with thankfulness, then we must not condemn one another’s decision. Thus, the leadership are in the usual position of calling the Body to be non-judgmental and tolerant.
But, dear pastors and others who are using these passages to make this point, here’s the deal. The vaccine is not a non-judgmental gray area, nor is not taking the vaccine merely a matter of violating one’s conscience. Meat sacrificed to idols is a serious thing, and not to be taken lightly.
But, for the sake of argument, let’s just say that it was merely a matter of conscience. How then should the “strong” Christians respond to the “weak”? Well, according to Paul under inspiration of the Holy Spirit, they ought not to have taken the vaccine in deference to those who are weaker. The Apostle Paul said that he’d rather go without meat his lifetime so as not to cause his brother to be wounded in his faith. How would the weaker brother be wounded in his faith? He/she would be wounded by either turning from Christ or would end up eating meat in unbelief and without thankfulness and thus, would be sinning. Therefore, those Christians at this present time who have taken the vaccine in faith and with thankfulness, ought to have forgone (waived) their liberty for the sake of those who are the so-called weak. It is quite clear from both passages that there are times when the strong are to give up their liberty for the sake of the weak. But, has this been called for in the Church? No, this is not taught. Instead, the strong to do what they want, the weak fall, and everyone is called on to plain and simply get along, even at the expense of truth.
And that is what the sticky web is all about: stifling the Truth in the name of being non-judgmental.
The Bible however, does not teach this. It is quite the opposite. The Body of Christ is taught to reprove, rebuke, and exhort with patience and sound doctrine. Second Timothy 4:1-4 says, “1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” Furthermore, Jesus said that He is the Truth (John 14:6) and the Holy Spirit whom He sent to indwell us is called the Spirit of Truth (John 15:26).
The suffocation of truth is strongly linked to the spirit of antichrist as Daniel 8:12 reveals, “12 And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.”
So, what is the truth in the situation regarding the vaccine? Are Romans 14 and 1 Corinthians 8-10 actually applicable? Since “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works,” (2 Timothy 3:16-17), what are the true points of Romans 14 and 1 Corinthians 8-10?
Threefold Points of Romans 14 and 1 Corinthians 8-10
1.) What we eat with thanksgiving or what we do with thanksgiving is done unto God, and each of us will be accountable before God who is our Master. Thus, we are not to judge each other regarding non-holiness/non-salvation issues. If two believers differ on an issue yet neither one of them is going to fall into sin by giving in to something they cannot do in faith, then they are to agree to disagree and not despise each other. So, quit judging, and quit fighting.
2.) However, we are to judge (make a judgment call) whether or not what we are doing will or is causing another to stumble and fall by emboldening them to do something without thanksgiving and without faith. Everything we do is not only for God’s glory (because we are His servants) but is also done for the edification of our fellow believers. This takes selflessness and unadulterated agape love. It is better to go without than to cause another to sin because of your liberty.
3.) And finally, there is a warning to those who consider themselves strong and liberated and knowledgeable. These are to beware lest they fall. Christians are not to presume that they are spiritually safe no matter what they do and call it faith. No. Not only can such liberty lead to another believer falling, but can lead to that liberated Christian’s fall. Thus, it’s better to do without than to inadvertently commune with devils and commit idolatry.
Indeed, all of the advice that Paul gives in both Romans 14 and 1 Corinthians 8-10 is actually to the “strong” believer. They are the ones who are to give up their rights for the sake of the “weak.”
Is Partaking in Thankfulness and Faith Enough?
In 1 Corinthians 10, Paul references the example of the children of Israel who had seen God’s wonders firsthand in Egypt, had seen the walls of water of the Red Sea on either side of them as they passed through on dry ground, who had drunk water from the Rock and eaten bread from heaven (manna), those same people broke off their jewelry and had a golden calf idol formed and called it Jehovah God. Even so, the Corinthian believers who were going up to the idol temples for business and fellowship and eating meat sacrificed to idols were not only causing their weaker brothers and sisters in Christ to stumble because of their liberty but were in danger of falling themselves.
How were they in danger of falling? I mean, wasn’t it permissible to eat meat sacrificed to idols? The Apostle Paul warns them that what they are doing in the idol temples when the meat was being sacrificed and then partaken of was actually communion with the devils behind the idols. And one cannot partake of both the Lord’s supper and the table of demons any more than the Israelites could worship a golden calf even if they did call it Jehovah God.
Were the Corinthians thankful for the meat in the idol temple? Yes. Were they eating it in faith. Yes. But their faith was as misguided as the Israelites who ate and drank and rose up to play around their idol, and as reprehensible and unacceptable as drinking blood or committing sexual immorality whether done in faith or with thankfulness or not. Partaking with faith and thankfulness is not always enough. Sometimes it is polluted no matter how you look at it. A little manure in a batch of cookies still taints the entire batch. Even if you eat it in faith and with thanksgiving you’re still eating baked goods with manure in them.
The same is true of the vaccine.
How so?
Did you know about the aborted fetal cells being used in the research for the vaccines? Did you know about the aborted baby cells that actually end up in the product? Is partaking of aborted fetal cells ever acceptable even if done with thanksgiving and the name of the common good?
Perhaps you say that aborted fetal tissue is not actually in the vaccine you’ve taken or will take, but aborted fetal cells were only used in the research for it and was necessary for the making of the vaccine. Really? Do you hear the defense you just used? How can something so immoral and reprehensible be deemed acceptable? How is it that leaders like Pat Robertson, Gordon Robertson, Franklin Graham, numerous pastors and leaders around this nation and the world dare to shrug this off? Did you even know that countless little unborn children between the ages of 3-6 months old were extracted from their mother’s womb and then savagely sliced and diced by scientists in nothing short of an Occult ritual (think Molech/think Aztecs) for the sake of extracting the very cells that were used in vaccine research?
My point is this. To partake of this vaccine, is to partake of the sacrifice. For, is this not akin to what the Corinthians were doing going up in the idol temple? Is this not the same as partaking of the table of demons? After all, the baby was sacrificed on the altar of Science, used in the production of vaccines which in turn wound up in the serum of the vaccine which in turn is partaken of by Christians in their arm.
Did God ever approve of child sacrifice? No. Would God’s gift to His Church therefore be a vaccine that utilizes sacrificed fetal cell lines in any capacity?
The Web Ever So Skillfully Woven
This is not merely a matter of conscience. This is not a matter of free choice. This is not a matter of being non-judgmental. This is not about getting along even when we disagree. Romans 14 and 1 Corinthians 8-9 cannot be applied here. This is not a gray area. Its’ not innocent like that! However, 1 Corinthians 10 can be applied to the situation at hand, for it seems that this is a case of misplaced trust and inadvertent idolatry. Oh the web of deception knitted with adept handiwork.
“But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication…Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth,” (Revelation 2:14, 16).
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ who are reading this, I am going to be very blunt with you right now. Please, please, do not allow the enemy to lull you into a false sense of security, thinking that with this vaccine all will return to normal. This is a trap, and is a way to get Christians to commit idolatry and partake of the modern meat sacrificed to idols – the vaccine.
“To summarize, if the in vitro lab test is part of the production manufacturing protocol, and it almost certainly is, then the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are no different ethically than the AstraZeneca vaccine or any other vaccine grown in fetal cell lines. In both cases, the production of the vaccine depends on the ongoing use of the illicit fetal cell line. To accept the vaccine means accepting the continued use of cells originating from an aborted child. Given the horrifying way aborted children are still being butchered for scientific research, this is not a time for complacency.”
“Moms have a saying about evil when kids want to argue that a little wrong should be okay. “It’s like poop in brownies. If I baked you a pan of brownies and told you that I accidently got some of the baby’s poop in the mix while stirring the batter, would you eat a brownie from the pan?”
Obviously, no. It does not matter if there is the tiniest smudge of poop, or if there is one or two bigger chunks, nobody is having it. In the professional realm, we call this “zero-tolerance.” A company that has a zero-tolerance policy for sexual abuse, for example, is not going to engage in a debate about whether one case of employee abuse is acceptable while two or three would cross a line. None of it is acceptable.
To bring this idea into the COVID-19 vaccine and aborted fetal cell line debate, I propose that the pro-life community get back zero-tolerance of the evil of abortion. Stop arguing about whether testing is better than production and specifically demand that all testing and production be ethically performed. Then focus energy on demanding an end to the use of aborted children in research and an end to abortion absolutely. As the Pontifical Academy for Life and the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith instruct, that should have been the guiding principle all along.”
“Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Interviews Dr. Theresa Deisher,” July 17, 2020, (the 12 minute mark explains 5-6 month old babies whose organs are harvested while they are still alive – that’s right, they are still alive when they are cut into for their beating hearts) https://www.bitchute.com/video/U2i5UzXj3hln/
“And you know what’s really alarming is that lack of outcry over human babies born alive at 5-6 months old so that their hearts can be attained beating. And they have to be beating to be used in the research that’s being done. If the heart has stopped beating it’s not useful. You cannot use it. And so these babies are delivered alive and their hearts cut out without anesthesia. I wouldn’t do that to a mouse.” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at this point clarifies that this is a fetus that is 5 months old that is “live” birthed for this purpose. Dr. Deisher continues, “Their hearts are cut out. Or they cut through their faces to get good brain tissue.”
“Certain scientists will purchase the heart, another scientist would purchase the brain, and they purchase the legs, the eyes…the body parts are sold for research.”
“Theorigin of the abortion-tainted vaccines, fetal cell line will sicken you – LifeSiteNews 1-12-21,” (interview of Pamela Aker by John-Henry Weston of Life Site News) January 14, 2021, https://www.bitchute.com/video/aogFUnP9C2O0/
“The spike protein by itself is in the words of one researcher ‘kind of floppy’. It doesn’t tend to keep its shape very well. And so scientists actually genetically engineered a spike protein that will keep its shape…and so this original design of this protein…they took that genetic information and they transformed cells to produce the spike protein…and that original experiment was done in HEK293 cells. So the spike protein that the vaccines code for was originally developed effectively in aborted fetal cells. And an additional way that the aborted fetal cells was used in the project is before they were going to inject this mRNA into a human being to see if you could get human cells to make coronavirus spike protein you would want to test that in cell culture, you’d want to test that in the laboratory because it’s a lot less expensive and dangerous than testing it in a human being…And so the cells that this was tested in were also HEK293 cells. And this has all been published in the literature…documenting that both of these vaccines used HEK293 in their testing…These also have to go through quality control testing…So the testing with these aborted fetal cells may actually be ongoing in the production of these vaccines.”
“There is a whole industry based on these aborted fetal cells in basic science research that I think people aren’t super familiar with.”
What is HEK293? Was it just one baby? And what about the other fetal cell lines such as WI-38, MRC-5, and PER.C6?
“For HEK293…people say ‘oh…there wasn’t documentation that that was an elective abortion…this is a bit disingenuous or ignorant on the part of these authors because in order to produce a viable cell line there’s a number of things that kind of go into that. And it is a very difficult thing to do…the number system that’s involved there (HEK stands for Human Embryonic Kidney) but 293 stands for…the 293rd experiment that this particular researcher did to develop a cell line. And that doesn’t mean that there were 293 abortions, but for 293 experiments you need far more than one abortion. And we’re talking probably hundreds of abortions.”
“Why couldn’t HEK293 have been just a spontaneous abortion? Why couldn’t it have just been a miscarriage? Because, you know, the hospital lost the documentation about this particular baby that was used to develop the cell line and so we don’t really know whether it was an elective abortion or a spontaneous abortion. Well, we have all the reason in the world to believe that it was actually an elective abortion that was done on purpose because the researchers who’ve been involved in this sort of thing have gone on record saying basically that you need to get that tissue within about 5 minutes of the abortion in order for it to be optimally viable. And if you wait an hour it’s useless…So this had to have been a baby that was aborted and they knew that that tissue was going to be used for research so they could get there within that 5 minutes to an hour window, preferably within the first 5 minutes in order to get that tissue preserved.”
(at 20 minutes and 40 seconds mark) “I was gonna say it’s even worse than that. Because – and this is where I always sort of issue a warning in case there are any little ears listening to me talk on a recording – because it’s a lot more graphic even that what I described. Because in a lot of cases the babies – because it is done on purpose for research purposes – so they will actually deliver these babies via Cesarian section. The babies are in some cases still alive when the researches start extracting the tissue, to the point where their heart is still beating and they are generally not given any anesthetic because that would disrupt the cells that the researchers are trying to extract. So, they are removing this tissue while the baby is alive, and in extreme amounts of pain. So, this makes it even more sadistic…likened to what the Aztecs used to do when they would consecrate their temples. They would literally rip out the beating hearts of the victims they were slaying on top of the temples and then sort of cast their bodies down the side. This is pretty much exactly the same thing that these researchers are doing.”
At about the 37 minute mark addressing adverse reactions including autism: “… but also it makes sense when you think about it from natural law if you’re going to do something as heinous as inject into yourself the remains of somebody who was murdered there’s going to be a natural consequence to that. Like you can’t just do that and not have any negative effects.”
“those who knowingly and voluntarily receive such vaccines enter into a kind of concatenation, albeit very remote, with the process of the abortion industry. The crime of abortion is so monstrous that any kind of concatenation with this crime, even a very remote one, is immoral and cannot be accepted under any circumstances…We are living through one of the worst genocides known to man. Millions upon millions of babies across the world have been slaughtered in their mother’s womb, and day after day this hidden genocide continues through the abortion industry, biomedical research and fetal technology, and a push by governments and international bodies to promote such vaccines as one of their goals…Bio-medical research that exploits the innocent unborn and uses their bodies as “raw material” for the purpose of vaccines seems more akin to cannibalism than medicine. We also ought to consider that, for some in the bio-medical industry, the cell lines of unborn children are a “product,” the abortionist and vaccine manufacturer are the “supplier,” and the recipients of the vaccine are “consumers.” Technology based on murder is rooted in hopelessness and ends in despair. We must resist the myth that “there is no alternative.”… The Lord said that in the end times even the elect will be seduced (cf. Mk. 13:22). Today, the entire Church must urgently seek to be strengthened in the doctrine and practice of the faith. In confronting the evil of abortion, more than ever [we] must “abstain from all appearance of evil” (1 Thess. 5:22). Bodily health is not an absolute value. Obedience to the law of God and the eternal salvation of the souls must be given primacy. Vaccines derived from the cells of cruelly murdered unborn children are clearly apocalyptic in character and may possibly foreshadow the mark of the beast (see Rev. 13:16).” (Bishop Athanasius Schneider is auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of St. Mary in Astana, Kazakhstan.)
“The most prominent cell line, called HEK 293, comes from an abortion performed in the 1970’s. It’s labeled 293 because that’s how many experimental attempts the researchers needed to get a working cell line. Therefore, though the abortion-to-experiment ratio is not precisely one-to-one, hundreds of abortions went into the project, even if they didn’t result in the working line.
HEK stands for human embryonic kidney. To harvest a viable embryonic kidney for this purpose, sufficiently healthy children old enough to have adequately-developed kidneys must be removed from the womb, alive, typically by cesarean section, and have their kidneys cut out. This must take place without anesthesia for the child, which would lessen the viability of the organs. Instead of being held, rocked, and comforted in the time intervening between their birth and their death, they have organs cut out of them alive.
There is no way that a spontaneous abortion could result in the cell line (as the kidneys cannot remain viable past the brief window in which they must be harvested) or that some brilliant researcher found a way for great good to come out of a rare tragedy by making use of a child’s body donated to science after it was aborted. The deliberate killing of an unwanted child (a little girl, in the case of HEK 293) took place in the tortuous manner it did precisely to obtain her organs for research. The harvest of her organs was the direct cause of her death, prior to which, she was a living child, outside the womb…”
“…The information about how HEK 293 was created may call vividly to mind the current scandal of Planned Parenthood, who is selling human tissue to the highest bidder, and performing abortions in specific ways to obtain organs and preserve their viability—for the right price. Put more bluntly, the abortion industry performs vivisections on viable, healthy, and well-developed living children for massive profit, on a massive scale. What we are seeing now is the explosion of an industry trafficking in children’s bodies, which began with experiments in the 1970’s, including those on which the available COVID-19 vaccines rely.”
“To summarize, appropriation of evil in its strictest sense is not about contribut- ing to, but about benefiting from evil. In cooperation cases, the obvious evil to be done is prospective, while in appropriation cases the gravely wrong act has already happened. However, the appropriator now becomes the principal agent (compared to the cooperator, who remains an auxiliary agent), and is faced not so much with an external and visible problem, but with a more internal and intangible one, of how to justify his profiting from a grave evil already committed.” (pg 480, “The Ethics of HEK 293,” by Alvin Wong, MD. “https://www.pdcnet.org/C1257D43006C9AB1/file/5265B61D5497F52585257D94004802BB/$FILE/ncbq_2006_0006_0003_0077_0099.pdf
“Self-deception, the second moral hazard, occurs when the cooperator becomes self-deluded about the nature of his or her own intentions in acting. Particularly if working in very close quarters with the principal agent, it is very difficult for a cooperator not to get swept up into the principal agent’s project in such a way that he or she wills its success. If he or she is an employee of the principal agent, the cooperator’s career advancement may very well be tied to such success. Rather than candidly acknowledging a sea-change or a gradual shift in his or her moral stance, the cooperator might simply develop an elaborate scheme of self- deceiving rationalization instead… If another agent’s evil acts contribute in some way to our own objectives, par- ticularly in an ongoing manner, it is difficult not to view them in a more positive light than we otherwise would. Moreover, it is tempting to accustom ourselves to the benefits that flow from appropriation that we would be inclined to decide against taking steps to eliminate the wrongdoing, if the opportunity presented itself… Similarly, self-deception about one’s motives is also possible in appropriation cases.” (M. Cathleen Kaveny, “Appropriation of Evil: Cooperation’s Mirror Image,” Theo- logical Studies 61 (June 2000): 306 from “The Ethics of HEK 293,” by Alvin Wong, MD. “https://www.pdcnet.org/C1257D43006C9AB1/file/5265B61D5497F52585257D94004802BB/$FILE/ncbq_2006_0006_0003_0077_0099.pdf pg 482)
The Christians in Rome were divided and debating certain issues, especially the eating of meat and feast days. Why? Likely because they were a mixed group of both Jews and Gentiles. The Jews were used to eating kosher foods and keeping certain feast days unto the Lord. They were likely stricter regarding what to eat or not eat, and would not touch meat from the marketplace that had been sacrificed to pagan gods. Instead, they ate only vegetables.
On the other hand, the Gentiles were used to eating meat from the marketplace that had been sacrificed in the pagan temples and knew nothing of the God’s Biblical feast days.
Both sides held strong convictions. Both sides ate their food thankfully. Both sides appear to have been secure in their beliefs. But, they were also harsh in their judgments of the other side, and drew in new converts to this fruitless, divisive dispute. Paul therefore makes it clear that each of them was the Lord’s servant, and they were here to please Him not people. Thus, they were to quit judging each other in these matters, for each will give an account before God (vs 11).
However, Paul states that Christians are to judge whether or not what they are doing is causing another to stumble or fall away. In this case, the Christian is not to let their “good be evil spoken of” (vs. 16) but instead are to avoid such liberty in order that they not cause another Christian be emboldened to do what they see as a sin, “for whatsoever is not of faith is sin” (vs 23). Thus, “It is good neither to eat flesh nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak,” (vs 21). But this takes true selfless agape love – the style of love that regards another and perceives what is really going on in their brother or sister in Christ.
1 Corinthians 8-9
First Corinthians 8-9 is essentially the same as Romans 14, only in the case of the Corinthians the two Christian groups at odds were those who had “knowledge” that idols were nothing, and those who still felt that idols were very real. Yes, the knowledgeable ones knew there are principalities and powers who are also called gods (vs 5), but Lord God is all that matters for He is supreme over all (vs 4 and 6). Therefore, these knowledgeable believers not only boldly ate the meat but ate it within pagan temples precincts. This was not only their way of dining out, but was often where business was conducted. So, since they knew that idols were nothing and there is only one true God, they felt at liberty to eat in the pagan temples.
However, there were other Corinthian Christians who still believed idols to be very real. Did they think the meat was tainted by these gods? Were they superstitious? The passage is not clear. But, they did not want to go up to the idol temples, and to do so would have been detrimental to them spiritually.
Thus, Paul emphatically states to the “knowledgeable” Christians, “take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become[s] a stumbling block to them that are weak…when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ,” (vss. 9 and 12). Paul then goes on for twenty-seven verses giving himself as an example of sacrificing one’s rights for the sake of the Gospel. Christians of the Western world would do well to learn from Paul regarding giving up their rights for the edification of other Christians. But, that is another topic for another time!
1 Corinthians 10
First Corinthians 10 explains that Christians are not ever so strong that they cannot fall into various forms of temptations, and one of those is that of idolatry. Paul goes on to explain that the Lord’s supper which we partake of is a communion with believers as well as with Christ because that which we partake of, namely the bread and juice, makes us intimately connected with each other and Jesus our sacrificial lamb. Even so, Paul informs, that the pagans partake of their pagan altar and commune with the demons behind the idol, and he thus states that “I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils. Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?” (vss 20b-22). Though the Corinthians believed that all things were lawful for them because they were free in Christ, Paul made sure that they knew that not all was expedient (appropriate) nor edifying.
However, Paul goes on to explain that if one was buying meat in the marketplace, one was not to ask questions as to where it came from, but were to buy it and eat it thankfully. That being said, if one were invited to an unbeliever’s house for dinner, and someone there said to the believer that the meat had been sacrificed to an idol, the believer was not to eat the meat out of respect for the one who informed. But otherwise, one was to eat meat with thanksgiving and in faith, because God had blessed them with it.
“Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.”
On Monday, August 23rd, the FDA supposedly “approved” the Pfizer vaccine. The pdf approval letter is readily available online for your perusal.
I want to remind you of Jesus’ strong advisement to not be deceived (Matthew 24), and the fact that deceivers will get worse and worse as the day of the Lord draws near. The passage of 2 Timothy 3:13 is incredibly potent and applicable in our present situation. Quote, “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” These evil people are laboring intensely for the purpose of pain, sorrow and maliciously corrupts others. These in who are intent on the destruction of humanity, are coupled with seducers who are sorcerers (goes, 1114), which is a wizards who mutters spells, and whom “Plato mentions [are]…in company with pharmakeus (5332) which word is akin to pharmacist or druggist, meaning an enchanter with drugs, and sophistes, a cunning cheat.” Deuteronomy 18 speaks strongly against this practice. All in all, this deception is misleading and seducing, and causes one to wander off, like wandering stars (4105), which in Greek is the root for the word “planet” which are indeed, wandering stars. And wandering stars are not what we want to be, for they are doing what is contrary to a star’s nature. In Jude these are equated with false teachers, fallen angels, Sodom, and the like.
Thus, we must stay awake. We must remain vigilant. We must not fall prey to the tactics of the enemy. We must not allow ourselves to be lead astray in anything. After all, the enemy is still seeking to steal, kill and destroy whatever little sheep is not paying attention (John 10:10).
Why am I saying all this?
This FDA letter of approval is deceptive, for they are cunningly using slight of hand, a magician’s trick to get everyone to think that the vaccine is safe, effective and worthy of being mandatory. However, the EUA vaccine has not really been fully approved at all. And yet, businesses and schools are being called upon to make it mandatory.
Please, read the following article written by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Meryl Nass which came out yesterday on the Children’s Health Defense website. It is truly eye opening, and beyond imperative that you know. I have portions of it below for your convenience. To read it in its entirety, please select the link below the quote.
He who has an ear to hear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. The time is short. Jesus is at the door, and soon will be calling His spotless Bride home. Let’s not be deceived. Let’s be ready.

“The FDA decrees that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine under the EUA should remain unlicensed but can be used “interchangeably” (page 2, footnote 8) with the newly licensed Comirnaty product……the FDA pointed out that the licensed Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine and the existing, EUA Pfizer vaccine are “legally distinct,”…There is a huge real-world difference between products approved under EUA compared with those the FDA has fully licensed. EUA products are experimental under U.S. law. Both the Nuremberg Codeand federal regulations provide that no one can force a human being to participate in this experiment. Under 21 U.S. Code Sec.360bbb-3(e)(1)(A)(ii)(III), “authorization for medical products for use in emergencies,” it is unlawful to deny someone a job or an education because they refuse to be an experimental subject. Instead, potential recipients have an absolute right to refuse EUA vaccines…
At least for the moment, the Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine has no liability shield. Vials of the branded product, which say “Comirnaty” on the label, are subject to the same product liability laws as other U.S. products…people injured by the Comirnaty vaccine could potentially sue for damages.Pfizer is therefore unlikely to allow any American to take a Comirnaty vaccine until it can somehow arrange immunity for this product.
Given this background, the FDA’s acknowledgement in its approval letter that there are insufficient stocks of the licensed Comirnaty, but an abundant supply of the EUA Pfizer BioNTech jab, exposes the “approval” as a cynical scheme to encourage businesses and schools to impose illegal jab mandates.
The FDA’s clear motivation is to enable Pfizer to quickly unload inventories of a vaccine that science and the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System have exposed as unreasonably dangerous, and that the Delta varianthas rendered obsolete.
Americans, told that the Pfizer COVID vaccine is now licensed, will understandably assume COVID vaccine mandates are lawful. But only EUA-authorized vaccines, for which no one has any real liability, will be available during the next few weeks when many school mandate deadlines occur.
The FDA appears to be purposefully tricking American citizens into giving up their right to refuse an experimental product.
While the media has trumpeted that the FDA has approved COVID vaccines, the FDA has not approved the Pfizer BioNTech vaccines…And the FDA has not licensed any Moderna vaccine, nor any vaccine from Johnson & Johnson — so the vast majority, if not all, of vaccines available in the U.S. remain unlicensed EUA products.
Here’s what you need to know when somebody orders you to get the vaccine: Ask to see the vial. If it says “Comirnaty,” it’s a licensed product. If it says “Pfizer-BioNTech,” it’s an experimental product, and under 21 U.S. Code 360bbb, you have the right to refuse. If it comes from Moderna or Johnson & Johnson (marketed as Janssen), you have the right to refuse.
The FDA is playing bait and switch with the American public — but we don’t have to play along. If it doesn’t say Comirnaty, you have not been offered an approved vaccine.“

“And as it was in the days of Noe [Noah], so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed,” (Luke 17:26-30).
“37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be,” Matthew 24:37-39
Days of Noah
The world was anything but normal in the days of Noah, and yet the people acted as though it was completely normal. It was “abnormally” normal. They still married, fixed meals, partied, etc. Nevertheless, the fallen angels had taught people great wickedness, from the art of war to that of genetic manipulation. There were hybrids everywhere: animals, vegetables and human. But, the people just dismissed these godless mixtures, for all they wanted to do was have fun and for life to go on as it always had. So what if things were not as God wanted them to be — with seed producing only after its kind (Genesis 1:11-12, 21, 24-28). That was then. This was now.
To add insult to injury, the fallen angels had taken human wives and had children by them. These children were called the Nephilim, who were the giants of old, and these giants were hybrids by birth — part human and part angel. Though some of this information stated here is from various non-biblical, Jewish historical sources, enough is stated in the text of Genesis 6 that informs one of the fact that fallen angels, who are referred to as “sons of God” in the text, were marrying the daughters of men, and that children called Nephilim (meaning “the fallen ones”) were being born to them.
And as a note of clarification, to be a “son of God” means that one is a direct creation of God, like Adam. Thus, no human at that time of Genesis 6 could be called a “son of God.” There are very few places in the Old Testament that use the term “son of God”, and each time it is equivalent to an angelic being. This is true in the Septuagint which is a Greek translation of the Old Testament nearly 300 years before Christ (completed in 132 B.C.). It is interesting to note that Christians are called sons of God because via the born again experience, we are made direct creations of God — new creations in Christ!
But, I digress…
Days of Lot
Moving on, the days of Lot were no different than the days of Noah in the volume of their wickedness coupled with people living as though things were completely normal when they were anything but normal. People went to work, raised livestock, had parties, married, had babies, and harvested crops. However, sexual immorality was rampant, and sexual perversion was commonplace, specifically among the men — after all, ALL of the young and old men of the town surrounded Lot’s house the night the angels came to get him (Genesis 19). Think about that. During the day, it all may have looked quite normal. Then, the night came, and the men molested any and everyone, especially strangers in the town. Furthermore, they were proud, prosperous and had need of nothing, had too much free time, and with that free time committed abomination and abused the poor, widows and orphans. Ezekiel 16 explains, “49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.” And yet, they lived like everything was normal.
Today
Even so, TODAY people are trying to get back to normal, but things are anything but normal. Australia is back in martial law lockdown; Europe is a ticking time bomb of people protesting face masks and vaccine green passes; China and North Korea have ferociously intensified their persecution of Christians, and China is preparing for war with Taiwan; Afghanistan is a bloodbath; Germany is still reeling from catastrophic flooding; South Africa is in upheaval as is most of South America and Cuba; Canada has imprisoned pastors who dared to be real pastors, and Montreal is now in an uproar over vaccine green passes; and Israel, once seen as the beacon of hope in this perilous world, has been tightening the noose around the necks of the unvaccinated while enforcing green passes just to get back to normal.
Furthermore, in the name of science and the greater good, genetic experiments have been ongoing since at least the 1930s if not before. In the laboratory, researchers and scientists have been mixing and mingling genetically anything and everything, from food to animals to people. Not only this, but they have been sacrificing babies. That’s right. No, I’m not talking your basic evil abortion that vacuums the baby out of its mother’s womb. Rather, I’m referring to the kind wherein the doctor extracts the baby of about 5-6 months old via C-section, and then proceeds to cut it open while it is still alive causing great pain, and then doles out its organs one by one to scientific researchers. This is a pre-paid, pre-planned, sadistic slaughter on the altar of science, done in a way akin to the barbarism of the Aztecs and the worshipers of Molech. This is Occultism plain and simple.
From those aborted babies come what are called “cell lines” in which scientists grotesquely grow vaccines and/or in which they test the vaccines. These cell lines come from hundreds of aborted babies who were sacrificed in the same savage way. And it is inevitable that fragments of the cell lines get into the person who allows the vaccine to be injected into their body in the name of safety, for the sake of travel or going to school. Yes, this abomination has been happening, and is happening right now. https://holylight4u.wordpress.com/2021/08/15/an-abomination-in-the-temple-of-the-holy-spirit/
And then there is aggressive sexual deviance. Think Sodom. Think the men of all ages storming Lot’s door. Think about the great pride that riddled the city, the arrogance that brought them down to sulfur and mounds of salt. Think “gay pride”. Think the modern day San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus singing about coming for your children, converting them stealthily through any and all means necessary. (“”A Message From the Gay Community” Performed by the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus,”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArOQF4kadHA.
TODAY many are talking of “normal’ again, talking of travel again, talking of going to college, talking of hopes for next year, talking of the holidays to come, talking of going to ballgames, and the like. Most are ignorant (willfully or otherwise) and insensible to what is and has been happening, and are content to remain ignorant and insensible. Just like the days of Noah. Just like the days of Lot. Aside from millions being displaced because of natural disasters riddling nation after nation, violence escalating in large cities, the unborn still being sacrificially slaughtered, perversion persisting in our school curriculum and movies and online and in popular music, and protests over lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and green passes being ordered, people keep getting married, keep working, keep having parties and BBQs, going to state fairs, baseball games, and restaurants. Essentially, even though things are not normal, people are grasping for normal and acting as if all will get better soon.
Remember Lot’s Wife
But, Jesus goes on to say in Luke 17, “31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.32 Remember Lot’s wife.33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.”
What is this passage about? Let’s take it from the top. Verses 31-33 is speaking about not clinging to this life, not holding on to normal. Lot’s wife missed Sodom. From Ezekiel 16 we assess that it was a very prosperous city. Everyone in the city and neighboring cities that associated with Sodom had plenty to eat, plenty to drink, plenty to wear, lots of parties, endless fun, and great excess and extravagance, and they were proud of it. Maybe she missed this. Maybe she missed the good old days and all that she had. The word “look” carries with it the idea of regarding with favor or care. In other words, she looked back with homesickness for Sodom.
Jesus warns that we are not to be like Lot’s wife. We are not to turn back. We are not to hold on to our things, to our good times, to our memories of this world that is passing away. We are not to cling to this life nor to life itself nor are we to seek to save it — even by a so-called vaccine. For whoever seeks to save their life will actually lose their life.
We can see this unfolding right now in our world. We’ve all been looking back like Lot’s wife. We’ve all desired “normal.” But, Jesus says, let it go.
Many have been afraid and have run to the vaccine in order to prolong their life and save themselves from an unseen germ. But, Jesus said, do not be afraid when pestilence comes (Psalm 91, Matthew 24), but rather, trust in Him as one’s deliverer. After all, would Jesus have one trust in godless science rather than Him? Would He have us to believe that He would use child sacrifice as a means of salvation? And yet people in their fear have run to science for the sake of saving their own lives or even those of another. But, their trust is misplaced and all about clinging to life.
The Night
Indeed, Luke 17:31-33 is happening right now around the world. Jesus called this time period “night” in verse 34 when He said “in that night.” Can it mean simply the time of day? Yes. But, when looking at this passage, it mentions night as the time when three things are happening: two are sleeping, two women are working, and two men are in the field working. Well people may sleep at night, but people do not work at night, especially in Jesus’ day when they did not have electric lights or even solar powered lights. This “night” to which Jesus is referring more than likely is that metaphorical time when men get drunk (Luke 21:34-36; 1 Thessalonians 5:7), when all is morally and spiritually dark (Romans 13:12), when Jesus will come as a thief to those who are not expecting Him (1 Thess 5).
In the words of a man by the name of Adrian Rogers in his incredibly inspired sermon entitled “How to Have Steadfast Hope in a Shaky World,”
“You say, “But Pastor, these are dark days.” Yes, they are, but they are gloriously dark, because the darkest hour of the night is just before the dawn. You see, our hope is not in politics. Everybody’s talking politics these days. Our hope is not in sociology; our hope is not in science. Our hope is a sure hope, and that is the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.” https://www.lwf.org/pdfs/HOW-TO-HAVE-STEADFAST-HOPE-IN-A-SHAKY-WORLD-2176-TRANSCRIPT.pdf (emphasis mine)
And indeed, things are getting “gloriously dark”. For as this night closes in all around us, Jesus’ return for His Bride is all the more immanent.
Taken
Jesus continues in Luke 17, “34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.”
What does this mean?
The meaning of this passage lies in the word “taken”. In the Greek this word (3880, paralambano) is comprised of two words: para (3844, “very close beside” — expresses great nearness that the English language cannot convey) and lambano (2983, “aggressively take, to take with the hand, to take what is one’s own to oneself, to seize”). The two words together means to be taken aggressively, to be taken or joined to the one taking, to be received near to the one seizing. Its verbal form is that of a future passive indicative. This means that the action of the verb is not being done by the person, but rather is being done to the person.
What ties this all together is the very cryptic phrase, “Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.” This is from Job 39 which states, “27 Does the eagle mount up at your command, And make its nest on high? 28 On the rock it dwells and resides, On the crag of the rock and the stronghold.29 From there it spies out the prey; Its eyes observe from afar.30 Its young ones suck up blood; And where the slain are, there it is.””
We Are The Eagles
To put it succinctly: The body is Jesus, and the eagles are Christians. The Church is built upon the solid Rock of Christ (Psalm 27:5; Psalm 40:2; Song of Solomon 2:14; Matthew 7:24-27; Matthew 16:18; 1 Corinthians 10:4), just like the eagles nest on high and reside in the stronghold of the rock. As the Church we are to commemorate the death of Christ by partaking of the bread and wine, representative of His blood shed for us. After all, Jesus said, “53…Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.”
Is this literal? No. But, it is spiritual. for Jesus was the spiritual bread, is the spiritual rock, and is the spiritual water. Unless we partake of Him by believing, will have no part in Him. Nevertheless, as you can see from the passage in John, Jesus is indeed, the body and the blood of Job 39:30 and Luke 17:37. And we as the young eagles are called to be vigilant and watchful and discerning of the times, ever looking for Jesus’ immanent return, ever listening for His call. And that is exactly what Luke 17:34-36 is talking about. The “great snatch”, the “catching away,” “harpazo” in the Greek, the “rapture” in the Latin. After all, the ones sleeping and working are seized up close to someone. Who is that someone who is doing the snatching to Himself? Jesus.
Noah’s Seven Days of Waiting
But, as for now… we are in those “seven days” of Noah in Genesis 7:4, 10, the days just before God shut Noah in the ark. Perhaps, could it be, that we have been in this window of time, this seven days, wherein everything came to a stand still. Could this strange interlude that has been given us correspond to the seven days of Noah and his family and the animals being shut away in the ark? Since the days like the days of Noah precede Jesus’ REVELATION of Himself as reveals Himself as seen in the Book of Revelation, could it be that we are right now smack dab in the middle of those seven days of waiting?
When everything locked down in Care Centers/Rest homes/Assisted Living facilities back in mid-March of 2020 followed by schools and businesses and then families quarantining at home and weddings being canceled left and right, I felt STRONGLY from the Lord that He was giving that time of rest and confinement to get closer to Him, to close ourselves away with Him, to seek His face, to get back into His word, to return to our FIRST LOVE and to see that the time of His return was NEAR, even at the door. It was His gift of mercy to the Church specifically, that they might have time to wake up like the virgins of Matthew 25, and to make sure that their lamps have extra oil. He was taking what the enemy intended for evil and turning it for the good of His people. We all know that the enemy has set his snare to steal, kill and destroy the Church, to infiltrate with fear, to overcome with worry, to get their eyes off of the Lord’s SOON return, and to lay the groundwork, the foundation of the Beast System, the One World Order. But, mercifully God has given us time to rally, to shake ourselves, to wake up from our slumber, and to arise. He has given us time.
Warning and Encouragement
I implore you, do not look back on “normal” like Lot’s wife looked back on Sodom. We are living in the “days of Noah” and in the “days of Lot” that Jesus talked about 2000 years ago. We are seeing the new world order being established as all other constitutions of the world crumble like something yellowed, old and brittle. We are seeing the book of Revelation spring to life in living color as the 4 horses of Revelation 6 charge out of the starting gate and as we see persecution/martyrdom rise exponentially worldwide. Indeed, we are seeing the world shaking to and fro like a drunkard and everything fall apart (Isaiah 24), and the deep darkness just before dawn.
Yes, it is “gloriously dark”, for a thick spiritual darkness, inky black, is all around us. Some are asleep. Some are working. Some are ready. Some are not. And some are wondering why Jesus is delaying His coming. But I want to remind you that we are not defeated. We are not battling Satan from a position of defeat or weakness. We are not down to the last round of ammunition. We are not down to the last small group of rag tag, disheveled rebels. No. We are victors. We are winners. The enemy has been defeated.
I want to encourage you once more and remind you, Jesus said, “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh,” (Luke 21:28). Walk with your heads up. Do not crumple. Do not bend. Do not break. Do not bow down to the golden image erected by our earthly rulers (Daniel 3), even those telling us to bow down to a syringe and science. Do not compromise. Quit acting like we have to capitulate from a position of weakness. Yes, it is dark — it is gloriously dark, so dark that our lights shine out all the brighter like the stars in the heavens just before break of day (Philippians 2:15). “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.” (Isaiah 60:1-2).
Our King is coming! Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus! The Spirit and the Bride say “Come!” (Revelation 22)

Quote: “A group of independent experts at the University of Caen, headed by Mr. Gilles Eric Seralini, a French microbiologist conducted an experiment of genetically modified corn consumption in rats running for their full lifespan, i.e 2 years, and the results of this study were published in a scientific journal. The study examined 180 rats, by feeding them different amounts of a strain of weedkiller-resistant GM corn (NK603); water containing Roundup, which is the world’s bestselling weedkiller; and a combination of these two. After 2 years, 50 to 80 per cent of all the female rats that were fed the corn or weedkiller have developed at least one large tumour, compared with 30 per cent from a small control group. The study also reported that male rats in the treated groups were more likely to develop serious liver and kidney damage. In the images below, you can see pictures of couple of those rats developing cancerous tumors. The researchers think that consumption of this GM corn can increase the chances of breast cancer, liver and kidney damage in humans as well.”

He says:
“I refute the claims of the biotechnology companies that their engineered crops yield more, that they require less pesticide applications, that they have no impact on the environment, and that they are safe to eat.

I am deeply grieved as I write this to you. A revelation has come to me in the past three days that has left me weeping. Please, bear with me as I reveal step by step what has come to light. It is truly an abomination that is in our midst. And so I am compelled to write this. Do with it as you will… but I do pray that you are cut to the heart with this information, and that you hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to the Church.
To begin with, we know from 1 Corinthians 10 that God uses Old Testament stories and characters as examples for us of what to do and especially what not to do. Paul relates to the Corinthians that the Israelites who had seen the mighty signs and wonders of God had easily called the golden calf “our God” who brought us up out of Egypt, and Aaron their leader crafted the calf and its altar and proceeded to call a feast to “the Lord”. In other words, their deception was so great that they called the calf by God’s name and worshiped it as though it were God Himself. They did not think of it as an idol because they called it “God.” They did not think they were sinning because in their minds they were worshiping “God.” (Exodus 32)
Sadly we see yet another example in King Solomon who, though said to be the wisest man who ever lived, built an altar to the god Molech on the Mount of Olives (1 Kings 11) opposite the Temple of the living God. And as you known, this god was one with a cow’s head and was one to whom babies were cast alive into its flaming belly.
Later King Josiah tore down this altar along with a host of other high places that riddled the land of Judah, and cleansed the Temple of God from all of the filth that Israel had set up within and upon its very walls (2 Kings 22; 2 Chronicles 34). It is then that the Law was found and brought and read to King Josiah and he was cut to the heart, for though he had torn down all of the altars, he came to know the stark reality that the curse of God was upon the land because of this grave sin (Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28). And though he and the people covenanted with God while he lived, the Lord was clear through the Prophetess Huldah that once King Josiah died judgment would come to the people. And it did.
The Corinthian Christians who considered themselves very wise indeed, felt that they could go up to the idol temples, do business transactions there, and eat the meat that was freshly sacrificed while there because they “knew” that none of it was really real. But Paul deftly points out that they as Christians when they partook of the Lord’s Table they were in fact “communing” with each other and communing with Christ whose sacrifice they were commemorating. This was an intimate fellowship, a partnership, a joint participation. It in effect, it made them members of each other and of Christ; they took upon themselves the blood sacrifice of Christ. Even so, when the Corinthians partook of the sacrificial meat in the pagan temple, they were in fact “communing” intimately with demons and being made one with the pagan worshipers present. To think otherwise was a complete deception and poisonous wormwood spreading among them, for it emboldened other Christians to do the same.
Hebrews 12 speaks of poisonous wormwood, a “root of bitterness,” that unless cut off and rooted out will poison many. This is not an emotion of resentment as some claim, nor was it complaining or dissatisfaction, but rather, the root of bitterness is linked very much with Deuteronomy 29:18-19. It reads beginning in verse 18, “Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;19 And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst…” This poison that Paul is warning about in the book of Hebrews has to do with idolatry like the children of Israel committed in the wilderness around the golden calf, where they call something God that is not God, and in so doing is idolatry. After all, Paul throughout Hebrews is explaining to them that going back to the sacrifices of Judaism is sin, looking for something additional to Christ is sin, seeking for any other type of salvation is wormwood that will poison many.
The sin of Israel aligns with the sin of the Corinthians which aligns with the sin of the recipients of the book of Hebrews which aligns with American Christians today, for there is indeed a root of bitterness and the communing with pagan devils while firmly believing that God will bless them.
I am so heavy-hearted as I write this…
Of what am I referring?
As we all know by now that aborted fetal cell lines were used in the production of the COVID-19 vaccines. Even the Vatican has admitted and justified the use of these aborted fetal cells in the production of these vaccines, and daringly calls it “morally acceptable” (https://www.vaticannews.va/en/vatican-city/news/2020-12/vatican-cdf-note-covid-vaccine-morality-abortion.html). And Christian leaders are telling Christians that they must “love their neighbor” by getting the vaccine. After all, it is the loving thing to do since it is done for the “common good” and there is no other option.
Do you know what the word vaccine means? Think golden calf (a calf is a young cow). Think Molech (whose head was that of a cow). A secondary definition of cow is “a domestic bovine animal regardless of sex or age” (Webster’s New Explorer Encyclopedic Dictionary, pg 418). The Latin word vaccinus means “of or from cows” (Webster’s New Explorer Encyclopedic Dictionary, pg 2038). In English, the word is vaccine, and these vaccines are used with aborted fetal cells. Again… think Molech.
It gets worse. Way worse. Way more grievous. Way more evil.
In order to attain a useful aborted fetal cell line for research, one must harvest them within 5 minutes to an hour of an abortion. This is planned. This is prepared for. This is paid for monetarily and is big business around the world. The mother signs something saying they can do this for research. They do a C-section, removing the baby ALIVE from its mother’s womb, and then in Aztec-like fashion they cut open the living baby and remove the baby’s organs. This happens while the baby’s heart is still beating. This means the baby is in extreme pain.
I’m weeping…
This is nothing new. This has been done for thousands of years. This is an Occult religious ritual. This is sacrificing children, only this time instead of for Molech or the god of the Aztecs it is done on the altar of “science”. This is abhorrent.
And hundreds, countless numbers of little ones were sacrificed in this fashion to be used in the research of vaccines. And fragments of the aborted babies get into the vaccines themselves. J&J acknowledges this, as does AstraZeneca. Pfizer and Modera deny up and down that aborted fetal tissue is in their vaccines, yet they admit that they used aborted fetal cells in their testing. (https://cogforlife.org/2021/01/07/covid-19-vaccine-hek293-testing-and-production-are-ethically-equal/). This is morally reprehensible! This is an abomination!
But it gets worse…
This has not only been done in the COVID-19 vaccines, this has been done with many vaccines including the Hepatitis A vaccines, MMR vaccines, the chickenpox vaccines, the shingles vaccines, etc. And these aborted fetal cell lines are listed in the ingredient list on the side of the box!!! (https://cogforlife.org/prove-it/). Do you know how many children have been given these vaccines in order to attend school? Do you know how many people have opted to get the Hepatitis A vaccine so that they could travel, including myself for a mission’s trip when I was 20????!!!!
Satan has been very busy, and like Balaam has found a way to make Christians, who hate abortion, guilty of abortion. Just as Balaam taught Balak (Numbers 22-24) how to make the children of Israel to sin that God’s blessing might not rest on them, Satan has ushered in vaccines for the “common good” in order to pollute us that God’s blessing might no longer rest upon us as a nation or as a Church. For, not only have we taken into our bodies (that are the Temple of the Holy Spirit – 1 Corinthians 6) vaccines that were grown in aborted fetal cultures, we have participated in (however vicariously) the brutal sacrificial slaughter of these children. “Israel was holiness unto the LORD, and the firstfruits of his increase…The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit…Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD.For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water…in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents…” (Jeremiah 2:3a, 8, 12-13, 34). Like the church at Pergamus, we’ve had a stumbling block of idolatry put in front of us (Revelation 2:14).
Vaccines save? How dare they!!!! Since when did vaccines take the place of Christ or were made equal with Him? Since when did we need to add vaccines to God’s glory? What absolute blasphemy!!!!! How dare we provoke the Lord to anger with such careless statements of profound stupidity? Is our God not moved by this? Will He not act? Do they doubt His justice? (Psalm 94)
“Trust the science” they say. Trust the science??? You mean the science that takes living babies of 3-6 months in age from their mother’s womb, cuts them open ritualistically, and then uses their little body parts in research, and then jabs that into people’s arms???? Does God condone such madness, such barbarism, such evil????? Is this what we are to consider miraculous and God’s gift to us against disease???? Is this loving???? Who do we think we are to put our trust in pharmaceuticals, which Scripture portrays as witchcraft and sorcery which are abominations to God? (Deuteronomy 18:9-12; Isaiah 47:9-13; Gal 5:20; Rev 9:21, 18:23, 21:8, and 22:15)
“Love thy neighbor” they say. Oh how noble, how considerate of the most selfish generation that has ever lived!! (said sarcastically – 2 Timothy 3). What puffed up, feel good deception!
Plain and simply, we are guilty. We have taken into our arms vaccines that have been grown in aborted fetal cell line cultures of babies that were ritualistically sacrificed on the altar of science. This suddenly is not about abortion done “somewhere out there” by “someone else” anymore, but has become very personal very fast. The blood of the unborn is on our hands. It’s on my hands. Literally. And we are sick because of it. Ever wonder why there is so much cancer, so many diseases, so much pain, and so little healing? The aborted baby cells are “immortalized” in the lab by a cancer promoting substance. And then those who partake of such a heinous substance called a vaccine, whether knowingly or unknowingly, are adversely effected. It has been our golden calf, and we have drunk the dregs of it (Exodus 32:20), and been plagued for it (Exodus 32:35). We have allowed for this abomination into our bodies that are the temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6), and this poison into the Body of Christ that is the Temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3).
Some will say “We didn’t know.” I know I surely didn’t. But, according to Scripture, when it comes to blood guilt and sin “knowing” does not matter. What matters is that we know now. What matters is brokenness. What matters is sincere repentance. (Deuteronomy 21:1-9; 2 Samuel 21; 2 Samuel 11; 2 Kings 22; 2 Chronicles 34; 2 Samuel 24).
And that is exactly it…God has revealed this grave evil, this foul wormwood that is poisoning the Body of Christ to bring us to repentance and to root it out of our hearts and lives before it destroys us entirely. For a broken and contrite heart He will not despise (Psalm 51:17). “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9) “And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much… Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.” (James 5:15-16; 19-20)
As you can see, this information is heavy, but I felt the burning need to let others know so that they might clearly see, and hear what the Spirit is saying, and repent.
As for me, I have repented with weeping and fasting before the Lord, and am waiting on Him concerning what is next.
Quote: “To summarize, if the in vitro lab test is part of the production manufacturing protocol, and it almost certainly is, then the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are no different ethically than the AstraZeneca vaccine or any other vaccine grown in fetal cell lines. In both cases, the production of the vaccine depends on the ongoing use of the illicit fetal cell line. To accept the vaccine means accepting the continued use of cells originating from an aborted child. Given the horrifying way aborted children are still being butchered for scientific research, this is not a time for complacency.”
“Moms have a saying about evil when kids want to argue that a little wrong should be okay. “It’s like poop in brownies. If I baked you a pan of brownies and told you that I accidently got some of the baby’s poop in the mix while stirring the batter, would you eat a brownie from the pan?”
Obviously, no. It does not matter if there is the tiniest smudge of poop, or if there is one or two bigger chunks, nobody is having it. In the professional realm, we call this “zero-tolerance.” A company that has a zero-tolerance policy for sexual abuse, for example, is not going to engage in a debate about whether one case of employee abuse is acceptable while two or three would cross a line. None of it is acceptable.
To bring this idea into the COVID-19 vaccine and aborted fetal cell line debate, I propose that the pro-life community get back zero-tolerance of the evil of abortion. Stop arguing about whether testing is better than production and specifically demand that all testing and production be ethically performed. Then focus energy on demanding an end to the use of aborted children in research and an end to abortion absolutely. As the Pontifical Academy for Life and the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith instruct, that should have been the guiding principle all along.”
“Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Interviews Dr. Theresa Deisher,” July 17, 2020, (the 12 minute mark explains 5-6 month old babies whose organs are harvested while they are still alive – that’s right, they are still alive when they are cut into for their beating hearts) https://www.bitchute.com/video/U2i5UzXj3hln/
Quote: “And you know what’s really alarming is that lack of outcry over human babies born alive at 5-6 months old so that their hearts can be attained beating. And they have to be beating to be used in the research that’s being done. If the heart has stopped beating it’s not useful. You cannot use it. And so these babies are delivered alive and their hearts cut out without anesthesia. I wouldn’t do that to a mouse.” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at this point clarifies that this is a fetus that is 5 months old that is “live” birthed for this purpose. Dr. Deisher continues, “Their hearts are cut out. Or they cut through their faces to get good brain tissue.”
“Certain scientists will purchase the heart, another scientist would purchase the brain, and they purchase the legs, the eyes…the body parts are sold for research.”
“Theorigin of the abortion-tainted vaccines, fetal cell line will sicken you – LifeSiteNews 1-12-21,” (interview of Pamela Aker by John-Henry Weston of Life Site News) January 14, 2021, https://www.bitchute.com/video/aogFUnP9C2O0/
Quote: “The spike protein by itself is in the words of one researcher ‘kind of floppy’. It doesn’t tend to keep its shape very well. And so scientists actually genetically engineered a spike protein that will keep its shape…and so this original design of this protein…they took that genetic information and they transformed cells to produce the spike protein…and that original experiment was done in HEK293 cells. So the spike protein that the vaccines code for was originally developed effectively in aborted fetal cells. And an additional way that the aborted fetal cells was used in the project is before they were going to inject this mRNA into a human being to see if you could get human cells to make coronavirus spike protein you would want to test that in cell culture, you’d want to test that in the laboratory because it’s a lot less expensive and dangerous than testing it in a human being…And so the cells that this was tested in were also HEK293 cells. And this has all been published in the literature…documenting that both of these vaccines used HEK293 in their testing…These also have to go through quality control testing…So the testing with these aborted fetal cells may actually be ongoing in the production of these vaccines.”
“There is a whole industry based on these aborted fetal cells in basic science research that I think people aren’t super familiar with.”
What is HEK293? Was it just one baby? And what about the other fetal cell lines such as WI-38, MRC-5, and PER.C6?
“For HEK293…people say ‘oh…there wasn’t documentation that that was an elective abortion…this is a bit disingenuous or ignorant on the part of these authors because in order to produce a viable cell line there’s a number of things that kind of go into that. And it is a very difficult thing to do…the number system that’s involved there (HEK stands for Human Embryonic Kidney) but 293 stands for…the 293rd experiment that this particular researcher did to develop a cell line. And that doesn’t mean that there were 293 abortions, but for 293 experiments you need far more than one abortion. And we’re talking probably hundreds of abortions.”
“Why couldn’t HEK293 have been just a spontaneous abortion? Why couldn’t it have just been a miscarriage? Because, you know, the hospital lost the documentation about this particular baby that was used to develop the cell line and so we don’t really know whether it was an elective abortion or a spontaneous abortion. Well, we have all the reason in the world to believe that it was actually an elective abortion that was done on purpose because the researchers who’ve been involved in this sort of thing have gone on record saying basically that you need to get that tissue within about 5 minutes of the abortion in order for it to be optimally viable. And if you wait an hour it’s useless…So this had to have been a baby that was aborted and they knew that that tissue was going to be used for research so they could get there within that 5 minutes to an hour window, preferably within the first 5 minutes in order to get that tissue preserved.”
(at 20 minutes and 40 seconds mark) “I was gonna say it’s even worse than that. Because – and this is where I always sort of issue a warning in case there are any little ears listening to me talk on a recording – because it’s a lot more graphic even that what I described. Because in a lot of cases the babies – because it is done on purpose for research purposes – so they will actually deliver these babies via Cesarian section. The babies are in some cases still alive when the researches start extracting the tissue, to the point where their heart is still beating and they are generally not given any anesthetic because that would disrupt the cells that the researchers are trying to extract. So, they are removing this tissue while the baby is alive, and in extreme amounts of pain. So, this makes it even more sadistic…likened to what the Aztecs used to do when they would consecrate their temples. They would literally rip out the beating hearts of the victims they were slaying on top of the temples and then sort of cast their bodies down the side. This is pretty much exactly the same thing that these researchers are doing.”
At about the 37 minute mark addressing adverse reactions including autism: “… but also it makes sense when you think about it from natural law if you’re going to do something as heinous as inject into yourself the remains of somebody who was murdered there’s going to be a natural consequence to that. Like you can’t just do that and not have any negative effects.”
Quote: “those who knowingly and voluntarily receive such vaccines enter into a kind of concatenation, albeit very remote, with the process of the abortion industry. The crime of abortion is so monstrous that any kind of concatenation with this crime, even a very remote one, is immoral and cannot be accepted under any circumstances…We are living through one of the worst genocides known to man. Millions upon millions of babies across the world have been slaughtered in their mother’s womb, and day after day this hidden genocide continues through the abortion industry, biomedical research and fetal technology, and a push by governments and international bodies to promote such vaccines as one of their goals…Bio-medical research that exploits the innocent unborn and uses their bodies as “raw material” for the purpose of vaccines seems more akin to cannibalism than medicine. We also ought to consider that, for some in the bio-medical industry, the cell lines of unborn children are a “product,” the abortionist and vaccine manufacturer are the “supplier,” and the recipients of the vaccine are “consumers.” Technology based on murder is rooted in hopelessness and ends in despair. We must resist the myth that “there is no alternative.”… The Lord said that in the end times even the elect will be seduced (cf. Mk. 13:22). Today, the entire Church must urgently seek to be strengthened in the doctrine and practice of the faith. In confronting the evil of abortion, more than ever [we] must “abstain from all appearance of evil” (1 Thess. 5:22). Bodily health is not an absolute value. Obedience to the law of God and the eternal salvation of the souls must be given primacy. Vaccines derived from the cells of cruelly murdered unborn children are clearly apocalyptic in character and may possibly foreshadow the mark of the beast (see Rev. 13:16).” (Bishop Athanasius Schneider is auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of St. Mary in Astana, Kazakhstan.)
Quote: “The most prominent cell line, called HEK 293, comes from an abortion performed in the 1970’s. It’s labeled 293 because that’s how many experimental attempts the researchers needed to get a working cell line. Therefore, though the abortion-to-experiment ratio is not precisely one-to-one, hundreds of abortions went into the project, even if they didn’t result in the working line.
HEK stands for human embryonic kidney. To harvest a viable embryonic kidney for this purpose, sufficiently healthy children old enough to have adequately-developed kidneys must be removed from the womb, alive, typically by cesarean section, and have their kidneys cut out. This must take place without anesthesia for the child, which would lessen the viability of the organs. Instead of being held, rocked, and comforted in the time intervening between their birth and their death, they have organs cut out of them alive.
There is no way that a spontaneous abortion could result in the cell line (as the kidneys cannot remain viable past the brief window in which they must be harvested) or that some brilliant researcher found a way for great good to come out of a rare tragedy by making use of a child’s body donated to science after it was aborted. The deliberate killing of an unwanted child (a little girl, in the case of HEK 293) took place in the tortuous manner it did precisely to obtain her organs for research. The harvest of her organs was the direct cause of her death, prior to which, she was a living child, outside the womb…”
“…The information about how HEK 293 was created may call vividly to mind the current scandal of Planned Parenthood, who is selling human tissue to the highest bidder, and performing abortions in specific ways to obtain organs and preserve their viability—for the right price. Put more bluntly, the abortion industry performs vivisections on viable, healthy, and well-developed living children for massive profit, on a massive scale. What we are seeing now is the explosion of an industry trafficking in children’s bodies, which began with experiments in the 1970’s, including those on which the available COVID-19 vaccines rely.”
Quote: “To summarize, appropriation of evil in its strictest sense is not about contribut- ing to, but about benefiting from evil. In cooperation cases, the obvious evil to be done is prospective, while in appropriation cases the gravely wrong act has already happened. However, the appropriator now becomes the principal agent (compared to the cooperator, who remains an auxiliary agent), and is faced not so much with an external and visible problem, but with a more internal and intangible one, of how to justify his profiting from a grave evil already committed.” (pg 480, “The Ethics of HEK 293,” by Alvin Wong, MD. “https://www.pdcnet.org/C1257D43006C9AB1/file/5265B61D5497F52585257D94004802BB/$FILE/ncbq_2006_0006_0003_0077_0099.pdf
“Self-deception, the second moral hazard, occurs when the cooperator becomes self-deluded about the nature of his or her own intentions in acting. Particularly if working in very close quarters with the principal agent, it is very difficult for a cooperator not to get swept up into the principal agent’s project in such a way that he or she wills its success. If he or she is an employee of the principal agent, the cooperator’s career advancement may very well be tied to such success. Rather than candidly acknowledging a sea-change or a gradual shift in his or her moral stance, the cooperator might simply develop an elaborate scheme of self- deceiving rationalization instead… If another agent’s evil acts contribute in some way to our own objectives, par- ticularly in an ongoing manner, it is difficult not to view them in a more positive light than we otherwise would. Moreover, it is tempting to accustom ourselves to the benefits that flow from appropriation that we would be inclined to decide against taking steps to eliminate the wrongdoing, if the opportunity presented itself… Similarly, self-deception about one’s motives is also possible in appropriation cases.” (M. Cathleen Kaveny, “Appropriation of Evil: Cooperation’s Mirror Image,” Theo- logical Studies 61 (June 2000): 306 from “The Ethics of HEK 293,” by Alvin Wong, MD. “https://www.pdcnet.org/C1257D43006C9AB1/file/5265B61D5497F52585257D94004802BB/$FILE/ncbq_2006_0006_0003_0077_0099.pdf pg 482)
The vaccine has begun to be mandated, and is nearing full approval from the FDA. Freedom of choice is no longer an option on the table. ‘My body, my choice’ is no longer viable. The Federal government has already mandated that all Federal employees be vaccinated. By September 15th, or earlier if the vaccines are granted full FDA approval, all branches of the U.S. military must be vaccinated, and state after state are signing on to require vaccines for all state employees. New York, Hawaii, California, Oregon, Washington, and Pennsylvania are doing so right now. Restaurants and bars in big cities are mandating not only that their employees all have the shot, but that all customers have the shot, or else they will not be allowed admittance. And the call for a federal mandate that all health care workers to receive the vaccine has been sounded.
So many are overwhelmed and do not know what to do. And fear is gripping many hearts as they face the stark reality set before them. How are they going to pay the rent, the mortgage, the car payment, house or car insurance, or for basic necessities like groceries?
And when people look to churches, they find they are not a soft place to fall nor a firm foundation upon which to stand. Regretfully, they have proven to be no help, as church leadership makes it sound like it is our Christian duty to get the vaxx, because Jesus would have wanted it. It is the loving thing to do. It is the selfless thing to do. It is the Christian thing to do. Which is a bunch of “twisted Scripture” garbage from the pit of hell! No where in the Bible does it say that we are to seek to save our own life. Jesus says in Luke 17:33, “Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.” We are not even told to save others. Jesus saves. It is He who came to seek and save that which is lost (Luke 19:10), and to lay down His life as a ransom for many (Mark 10:45). We are not called to do that. Jesus tells us as His followers to, “19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Any guilt trip that says otherwise is the devil twisting Scripture as usual — and he is exceptionally adept at it. Do not fall prey to this tactic!
And then there are those whose very identity is all wrapped up in their work, and they are in shock over the choice set before them. Who are they without their job?
It’s as if the oxygen has been sucked out of the room, and everyone is gasping for air. A wall of water just hit us, and we have been left disoriented and confused.
On Thursday night, my online pastor, Pastor JD Farag and his Calvary Chapel congregation in Kaneohe, Hawaii gathered before the Lord with weeping and much prayer regarding this situation that is increasingly intensifying by the minute. As they studied Isaiah 37 and the story of King Hezekiah who was up against the overwhelming blasphemous terror of the army of Sennacherib, they like King Hezekiah came before the Lord in brokenness but with much faith.
Faith.
Indeed, it has boiled down to that one pivotal, powerful word: faith. In what are we putting our faith? Story after story after story in the Bible points us to this very question: in what do we put our faith?
When King Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20 was up against several armies way beyond Judah’s capacity to defeat, he and his people came before God and cried out for help. Then, marching out in praise and faith they came upon their enemy who had already been slaughtered by the Lord. It reads, “22 And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.23 For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.24 And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.25 And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.”
The same is true of King Hezekiah up against Sennacherib’s bombastic words and mighty army. When King Hezekiah stood in faith, 185,000 Assyrians were slaughtered by the Angel of the Lord. (Isaiah 37). When Joseph was sold into slavery, all odds were against him. Nevertheless, he believed God, and because of that many lives were saved, including those of his brothers who had sold him (Genesis 50:20).
Right now we are up against the Red Sea on one side and Pharoah’s army on the other (Exodus 14). In the natural, death is on every side. There appeared to be no way out for them even as there appears to be no way out for us. But, let us not limit God, nor stipulate how or in what way He must deliver us. Let Him be God.
In my own life, I was faced with losing my job as chaplain at a health care facility a year ago. And it was not just any job. I’ve had many other jobs including ministry jobs, but this was a perfect fit. Everything about it was made for me. On top of that, it was a miracle job. I had not sought this job out nor had it been listed in an online job search engine nor had I even applied for it. God literally gave it to me when I least expected it. And then, the so-called Christian facility decided to suddenly add a job requirement with which I could not in good conscience comply. Furthermore, they were not open to discussion. The official job requirement was stated in such a way that if one even dared to question it or resist it in any way, they would be terminated “effective immediately,” and it would be deemed a “voluntary resignation.” So, for a week, I quietly packed up my office, and the final two days of that week, I said goodbye to the residents. Then, I sent in my letter of “forced” resignation. And though things have not gone the way I might have requested, God has since blessed me in many unexpected ways.
While working as a prayer worker while in seminary, a woman called in one time with terrible financial trouble. As she was speaking, the Holy Spirit revealed to me that the real problem was not her lack of funds nor a lack of faith, rather, it was that she was serving money and not God. She was serving money by fearing the lack of it. Think about that. All of her mind and heart was wrapped up in making money, having money, dealing with money, needing money to make her feel secure. In so doing, she had become its slave. We are either serving God, or serving money. One or the other is our master (Luke 16:13). So, I prayed along those lines, and she was astounded at the incredible accuracy of the Holy Spirit inspired prayer.
Now, I must make you aware that this whole trusting thing can lead to answers that we would not have chosen. Sometimes it means living with another family member. Sometimes it means taking a job that you think is beneath you. Sometimes it means we have to scrimp and save on things we used to think were necessities but really they were excess — like vacations, dinner out, car washes, coffee out, and even buying soda pop or candy or chips. Sometimes, it means setting out on a new adventure that is initially scary, but just may be bigger and better than you’d ever have imagined!
That being said, the question still is: in what have you put your faith? Money? A job? Or… God who gave you both money and a job and has been and still is the Provider of every need that you have or ever will have? (Philippians 4:19). Now is our test of faith (Psalm 11). Do we really believe God will take care of us? Do we really believe His word, or is our soil too rocky so that word could not go deep enough in to the soil of our hearts? (Mark 4 and Matthew 13’s parable of the sower).
As we face the Red Sea, go one on one with Goliath like David, face the frightening reality of Sennacherib, enter the loneliness of betrayal and slavery in Egypt like Joseph, cry out to God regarding the multitude of Moab and Ammon, let us chose to believe. Let’s not be like the children of Israel who, after seeing miracle after miracle of God’s wondrous plagues and provision, falsely accused God of not caring and worshiped the golden calf instead. Let’s quit clinging to our comfort zone, our security blanket – after all, it’s just a blanket unless God is holding us in it!
We’re at the Red Sea. What will you do? Go back to slavery or even death with Pharoah? Fearfully run into the sea and drown? Or… will you stand back and see the salvation of the Lord?
God knows what you need even before you ask Him (Matthew 6:8). Fear not, little sheep. He will not fail you now. Time to stand in faith in Him, for without faith, it is impossible to please Him.
In Christ,

P.S. Please, please pray for one another as fellow Christians. So many in the Body of Christ are going through terribly tough times. Not only are Christian livelihoods and freedoms at stake in the U.S. and Europe, around the world millions of people have lost EVERYTHING because of their Christian faith, because of wildfires that have burned their towns and regions, because of flash floods that flushed everything away, because of churning tornadoes, because of pelting hail that smashed their homes, and tropical storms that blew everything to smithereens. Please, remember to pray for our displaced brothers and sisters in Christ who do not know where their next meal is coming from, where they’ll be able to get their medication, where they are going to sleep tonight, what they are going to do to provide for their families, and what tomorrow holds. Pray that they experience God’s promised provision (Matthew 6:11; Luke 11:3), and that they in the midst of their great affliction will willingly present the hope of the Gospel to a lost and hurting world who desperately needs Jesus.

Stories of Others Before Their Own Red Sea and Links:
Nancy Hill is a cardiac nurse at a hospital in Bellingham, Washington. She along with 300 other employees of St. Joseph’s Medical Center rallied against Governor Inslee’s mandate. She is a mother of five who homeshools her children and assists her parents in their home. Nevertheless, she is willing to lose her job for the sake of conscience. And the 299 others gathered with all of their stories, needs, children, hopes and dreams also appear willing to lose their jobs.
In Raleigh, North Carolina other dedicated nurses such as Karen Helm and Cheryl Morneau (sp?), along with hundreds of others, are willing to lose their jobs too. And then there are those at University of Colorado Hospital, and the nurses of Forth Worth, Texas, including ER nurse Keli Culver and ICU/NICU nurse Jennifer Cantu, the nurses who stood in the rain for hours in the Twin Cities, Minnesota who are willing to lose their jobs and homes, those who stood in the sun in Riverside, California, and those who bravely gathered in Honolulu, Hawaii, and even non-medical staff in medical facilities like Kyle Tautfest who is a security guard in Washington state.
And then there are restaurant works, social media workers, volunteers, and the list goes on of those who are affected by this insanity.
We are only 9 days into August, and the list of events happening in August alone are accumulating so fast that I’ve decided to post them already. I will continue to update as the month progresses. So, please feel free to check back!
The word “apocalyptic” is definitely being used these days as wildfires wipe out entire towns as well as hundreds of thousands of acres, as floods churn through cities leaving devastation and shock in their wake, and as other catastrophic events from tornadoes, to storms, to heat waves, to plagues, and the like ravage the world. And though all of this is horrifically devastating and looks a lot like what people have seen in movies and leaves those who experience such surreal events in shock and awe, they are nothing compared to what the book of Revelation has in store. However, it is a glimpe of what is coming, and Jesus did guarantee that we would see these things just before He returns.
While fires burn, snow falls, rivers roar, reservoir levels fall, heatwaves soar, militaries of the world flex their muscles, Israel pursues an illusive peace, and vaccine mandates loom ever nearer, larger and larger protests fill the streets of the cities of the world, and lives are being turned upside down, all too many people (Christians included) are seeking for vacations and a way back to normal. But, if you are a Christian, please realize the serious nature of the hour in which we are living, for indeed, we are in the final moments of this Age. We will not be returning to normal, nor should we want to do so https://holylight4u.wordpress.com/normal/. Our hearts desire should be the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20), righteousness (Matthew 6:33; Matthew 5:6), and God’s Kingdom come (Matthew 6:33; Matthew 6:10; Luke 11:2). Let’s not be caught up in worry or pleasure or busyness, but rather, let’s pray that we might be found worthy to escape all the things that are going to come upon the earth (Luke 21:34-36). Let’s be washed in the Word of God in order to keep our garments without spot and wrinkle (Ephesians 5:25-27). And let’s pray for one another as the darkness grows darker all around the world (John 13:35; Ephesians 6:18; 1 Thessalonians 5:17).
If you do not know Jesus, today is the day. Do not wait. Jesus is coming SOON, and you do not want to be left behind. What is unfolding around the world today is NOTHING compared to what is coming. Please take seriously the thought of where you’re going to spend eternity, and on how you’re getting there. You see, Jesus is eternal life itself. Without Him, we have no hope. Unlike any other religion of the world, the God of Christianity so loved this world (including you) that He sent His only begotten Son Jesus down. Jesus took on human flesh, dwelt among us, died for us, and then defied death by resurrecting from the grave. It is because of Jesus’ sacrifice that our sins can be forgiven. It is because of Jesus’ resurrection that we have hope of eternal life. All you need to do is acknowledge that you are a sinner (that you have done things wrong, that you have displeased God, that you are unworthy), believe that Jesus died and was resurrected for you, and confess out loud that Jesus is Lord. It’s as simple as ABC. Admit. Believe. Confess. Just believing this makes you righteous. In Christianity we do not earn our way to heaven. Salvation is a gift. We believe, and God credits it to us as righteousness. https://www.jdfarag.org/abc
Jesus is coming soon. Let’s be ready!

“Then said he [Jesus] unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven….And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.” Luke 21:10-11, 25-26.
God says, “…I [will] stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it…If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts…if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it…if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast…when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?” (Ezekiel 33:13, 15, 17, 19, 21).

“On Monday 9 August , authorities said 98 people were affected by flooding in Paris, one of the worst-hit areas of flooding that left streets and houses submerged in murky waters and isolated entire communities. In the hardest hit regions of Paris, residents who escaped the floods gradually returned to their homes and places of desolation. The real extent of the disaster is only now becoming clear: an assessment of the damaged buildings, some of which will have to be demolished, is under way, and efforts are being made to restore gas, electricity and telephone services. The disruption of communications networks has made it difficult to estimate the number, which is still missing. Recall that at the end of July, West Germany also suffered from a severe flood, which also hit Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.” (Video below)

“And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”” Revelation 6:5-8
“…and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.” 1 Timothy 4:3
Quote: “A group of truck drivers furious about public health restrictions amid the COVID-19 pandemic has vowed to protest by shutting down all major highways in Australia next week.Plans to protest vaccine mandates and other restrictions by blocking highways in and out of every Australian state on Tuesday, August 31, were first detailed in a viral video featuring a man who identified himself as a truck driver on Monday, according to Daily Mail Australia.The man urged Australians to stock up on groceries and other supplies before the protest disrupts the supply chain. Several other truckers have since made their own videos pledging to take part in the effort to “shut down the country.””It’s on. The truckies are doing it,” the truck driver says in the original video. “The truckies are going to shut down the country. What that means is you need to go shopping now, get what you can for the next week or two, load your fridge, freezers.””
Quote: “There is no religious exemption in Catholicism,” Holtschneider said (president of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities), citing Vatican teaching on the matter. He notes that they may accept other religions as a basis for exemption…
“Dr. Jeffrey C. Barrows, senior vice president of bioethics and public policy at the Christian Medical & Dental Associations, started fielding similar calls in late July, maybe a half dozen so far, from colleagues who feared taking the vaccine conflicted with their Christian beliefs…“Our official position is we are recommending that people get the vaccines,” said Barrows. “We do feel that the benefit of being vaccinated against COVID-19 outweighs the risks.””
Quote: “This new requirement includes well-defined exemptions to the vaccine. Individuals with legitimate medical reasons or sincerely held religious reasons will be exempt. The exemptions do not include personal or philosophical objections…Employees who refuse to be vaccinated will be subject to dismissal from employment for failing to meet legal job qualifications. The state will work with labor organizations on meeting collective bargaining obligations and adhering to civil service rules.”
Quote: “Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will request approval for the COVID-19 vaccine to become mandatory for all U.S. military service members by mid-September, according to a memo he sent to all Defense Department employees.”I want you to know that I will seek the President’s approval to make the vaccines mandatory no later than mid-September, or immediately upon the U.S. Food and Drug Agency (FDA) licensure, whichever comes first,” Austin wrote in the memo.”
Quote: “Washington Governor Jay Inslee is requiring state employees, healthcare and long-term care workers get the vaccine.This also includes contractors, volunteers and other positions who may be onsite at health care sites or with the state…King County also mandated its 13,500 employees will be required to get the vaccine as well. More than 80 percent of employees are already vaccinated…Gov. Inslee said about 500,000 people are under this umbrella.”
Quote: “The Biden administration is considering using federal regulatory powers and the threat of withholding federal funds from institutions to push more Americans to get vaccinated — a huge potential shift in the fight against the virus and a far more muscular approach to getting shots into arms, according to four people familiar with the deliberations. The effort could apply to institutions as varied as long-term-care facilities, cruise ships, and universities, potentially impacting millions of Americans…”
Quote: “Lake Powell is the second-largest reservoir in the USA, right behind Nevada’s Lake Mead, which also stores water from the Colorado River. Both are shrinking faster than expected, a dire concern for a seven-state region that relies on the river to supply water to 40 million people and a $5 billion-a-year agricultural industry.They are among several large bodies of water in the West that have hit record lows this summer, including the Great Salt Lake in Utah. California’s more than 1,500 reservoirs are 50% lower than they should be this time of year.In 1983, Lake Powell’s water exceeded its maximum level of 3,700 feet (1,127 meters) and nearly overran Glen Canyon Dam. The lake reached a record low of 3,553 feet (1,082 meters) last week.”
Quote: “Nestled inside the 2,702-page text is Section 13002, titled “National motor vehicle per-mile user fee pilot.” That pretty much covers the meat and potatoes of this section’s purpose: piloting a program that would tax drivers based on their annual mileage rather than at the pump…The bill specifically notes that this mileage information can be tracked via third-party OBD-II devices, OEM-collected telematic data, information from insurance companies, a smartphone app, or “any other method that [Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg] considers appropriate.” It doesn’t address provisions for the privacy of this data, nor how it will keep the information safe from bad actors, or even prohibit the sale of the data to non-government entities.”
Quote: “Scott Faber, Senior Vice President of Government Affairs at the Environmental Working Group, says the letters fall far short of what the DoD should be doing. “Imagine if your neighbor called and said, ‘Hey! I’m going to start sending toxic waste into your backyard, just letting you know’. That’s ridiculous right? Shouldn’t the Department of Defense be responsible, if they know the irrigation water is contaminated, to clean it up as quickly as possible?” Faber said.Faber points out the PFAS contamination issue impacts more than just the military or the farms themselves. It trickles out to all of us through the food supply.”We don’t know which farmers are impacted. We don’t know how much PFAS is in the irrigation water these farmers are spraying on their crops that we ultimately eat. We don’t know how much of this irrigation water is being used to water animals that we either eat or the products of which we ultimately eat. We should know that. It shouldn’t be a secret whether or not the food we’re eating might be contaminated with a toxic forever chemical,” said Scott Faber with the Environmental Working Group.””
Quote: “HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – All state and county workers in Hawaii will need to provide proof of vaccination by Aug. 16 or be subject to weekly testing at their own cost ― and could be fired if they don’t comply ― under tough new vaccine requirements announced Thursday by Gov. David Ige.The rules, which would cover tens of thousands of government employees, represent the most dramatic effort yet to get more shots in arms and drive down a surge in COVID infections statewide. In addition to all state and county departments, the University of Hawaii is covered by the protocols…He [Governor Ige] added that those who don’t follow the order “could be subject to termination.””
Quote: “We’ve covered our fair share of fights onboard Spirit Airlines, but today is no laughing matter: Spirit Airlines is experiencing a total meltdown that has led to extraordinary measures across the network. Unconfirmed reports of riots and bedlam have been reported in both Puerto Rico and Florida. As the day progresses, the situation is getting worse…As of 5:00pm ET, Spirit Airlines has canceled 277 flights today, representing 36% of its schedule according to FlightAware data. 159 flights have been delayed, representing 20% of its schedule…Perhaps you can imagine the situation. Flight cancellations and delays means passengers may be stranded for days. Gate agents have no answer. Passengers become agitated. Agents disappear. Passengers become more agitated.”

“Then said he [Jesus] unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom…” Luke 21:10
“And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.” Luke 17:26-30
“…the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose….There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.” Genesis 6:2, 4-8
“And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD….And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;…we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.” Genesis 18:20-22 and 19:1,13
“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” 1 Thessalonians 5:3
“And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.” Revelation 6:4
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:1-7

Quote: “…it’s not hard to understand the timing and location. The Chinese navy in recent weeks has been rehearsing an invasion of Taiwan. The three carriers are a warning—that an attack on the island democracy could have profound consequences.”
Though the Navy is conducting large scale exercises across 17 time zones worldwide, the military aircraft activity happening over the U.S. is not only the Navy. Yes, the Navy’s planes are over the sea, and a few are over the U.S. But, most are not Navy. What this former Special Ops member is saying is that there are a lot of “heavies” moving in the U.S. skies which are not related to this Navy exercise. “From Noon-7pm”, he counted 107 “supply craft” “moving across the U.S.” This includes C-17s, C-130s, and C-5s in the “U.S. only.” These are aircraft that move supplies and military equipment or even troops. On Saturdays he watches the movement of military planes a lot, but has never seen it this heavy on a Saturday. He speaks about this at about the 29 minute mark.
Quote: “LSE 2021 is a globally integrated exercise designed to test advanced warfare concepts across the full-range of maritime and amphibious operations under Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO). LSE 2021 will take place Aug. 3-16, 2021, in the U.S. Pacific Fleet, U.S. Fleet Forces, and U.S. Naval Forces Europe areas of operation.”

“And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.” Revelation 6:7-8
“16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.17 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you…36 I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.37 And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.” Leviticus 26:16-17; 36-37
“16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:16-17
“But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” 2 Timothy 3:13
Quote: “This resistance comprises a diverse group of Washington employees who feel called to take a stand. They are Washington State Patrol troopers, Washington State Department of Transportation biologists, teachers, and more.Some do not want the vaccine because of health concerns. Others are vaccinated but don’t want to turn over private medical documents to the state under threat of termination.Many have religious convictions they need to uphold. They are particularly disgusted that the governor’s office purposefully wrote the religious exemption form to disqualify as many religious staff as possible.Others don’t think it’s your business if they choose vaccination or not. Their body, their choice, their right to keep it private.”
Quote: “A Chicago mother says a Cook County judge has taken away her parental rights after learning that she is not vaccinated against COVID-19.In what all parties agree is a very unusual and perhaps unprecedented step, a judge at Chicago’s Daley Center has stripped Rebecca Firlit of custody because she refuses to get a vaccination shot.”I miss my son more than anything. It’s been very difficult. I haven’t seen him since August 10th,” Firlit told FOX 32 News in an exclusive interview.”
Quote: “NSW premier Gladys Berejiklian has confirmed that once the state has reached the key milestone of 70 per cent of eligible adults fully vaccinated, restrictions will be eased for people who have been double jabbed only. The NSW government is considering October 18 as the date when lockdown settings can be relaxed, but in order to prevent the state’s hospital infrastructure from being overwhelmed, unvaccinated people will still need to observe a number of lockdown measures, while fully vaccinated people will be granted additional freedoms. “If you’re not vaccinated, don’t expect any freedoms at 70 per cent” the premier said.”

Quote: “Frank Dahlquist, a fire captain who works for King County, predicted the state will lose experienced, and not easily replaceable, firefighters because of the mandates. “In 2020, we were essential, and in 2021 we’re fired,” Dahlquist told the crowd. “Is that right? Is that right to anybody? Absolutely not.””
Quote: “The Pentagon on Wednesday ordered all active-duty service members to be vaccinated with the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine days after the Food and Drug Administration granted it full approval.In a memo seen by Reuters, the Pentagon ordered the military to start the process immediately but did not put a specific timeline on when it should be completed.”
Quote: “The Nelson siblings—a 16-year-old junior and 17-year-old senior at Springs Charter School, located in Temecula, California—were stopped on the first day of school for not wearing a mask…The Nelson siblings were accosted during their first class, where school Principal Rebecca Fabozzi told one of the youngsters: “if you don’t leave the classroom, I will physically remove you!”The students were taken to the office, and they were then instructed to leave campus—an order they refused to follow.The school administration then chose to call the police, bringing the School Resource Officer into the situation. It was also at this point when the parents of the siblings were contacted. The Nelsons then contacted the pastor of their church, and together they all went down to the Springs Charter School campus.Gary Nelson, father of the two students and the source of FreedomWire’s report, was then informed that the kids were no longer allowed back on school grounds—and if they showed up again, masked or not, they would be arrested for trespassing!…as bad as that is, it gets worse…the children threatened with physical violence and suspended indefinitely, but the entire school was put into an active lockdown as if there was a shooter on campus. It was complete overkill for a situation as minor as two unmasked students, but the school stood by its decision.”
Quote: “Vietnam will deploy troops in Ho Chi Minh City and prohibit residents from leaving their homes, authorities said on Friday…The government said it was preparing to mobilise police and military to enforce the lockdown and deliver food supplies to citizens.Police with loudspeakers were seen driving around residential areas on Friday instructing people to follow protocols and assuring them food supplies would be provided.The defence ministry plans to send 1,000 military medics and medical equipment over the weekend, according to a military document reviewed by Reuters.The government also extended restrictions on Friday in the capital Hanoi by a further 15 days, state media reported.”

Quote: “SEATTLE — Gov. Jay Inslee expanded his COVID-19 vaccine mandate Wednesday, now requiring most state employees, health care workers, K-12 and higher education employees and child care providers to get fully vaccinated or face losing their jobs.Inslee’s office said the mandate is among the strictest in the country, so far, with the state choosing not to allow a testing alternative due to the cost of tests. Also, the state said test out options in settings like schools are not efficient in preventing COVID-19 infection.”
Quote: “New data from Israel on the effectiveness of Covid-19 vaccines over time is causing U.S. health leaders to rethink their position on vaccine booster shots in the U.S., National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins said Tuesday.“The people who got immunized in January are the ones that are now having more breakthrough cases,” Collins said during an interview on “The Hugh Hewitt Show,” referring to Covid infections in fully vaccinated individuals.

German citizens have reacted similarly and have held several anti-lockdown protests demanding an end to the government’s mandates. A Berlin court recently issued a ban on all anti-lockdown protests…Despite the court’s ban of such demonstrations, thousands joined protests in Berlin where some 600 protestors were detained…
New York City also announced last week that it will require proof of vaccination for individuals to participate in indoor activities, such as eating in restaurants and going to the gym or theater, making it the first U.S. city to do so. This vaccine policy will go into effect mid-September…”This is a miraculous place, literally full of wonders. And if you’re vaccinated, all of that is going to open up to you. You’ll have the key,” New York City’s Mayor Bill de Blasio said. “If you’re unvaccinated, unfortunately, you will not be able to participate in many things.”…
Boston’s Acting Mayor Kim Janey, a Democrat, also spoke out against NYC’s vaccine mandate, likening vaccine passports to slavery.”

More than 80 percent of employees are already vaccinated…Gov. Inslee said about 500,000 people are under this umbrella.”
August 8, 2021: “From today nine Victorian state-run vaccination clinics will be able to offer the AstraZeneca jab to those aged between 18 and 39.They previously had to see their GP for an appointment, but the expanded rollout will allow an additional 200,000 vaccines to be administered to those within the age bracket.Premier Daniel Andrews has told residents they can make a booking online.The state has also launched its first drive through state run clinic in an effort to meet the 70 per cent vaccination target and avoid future snap lockdowns.”
Quote: “President Isaac Herzog met with Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz on Wednesday, saying the Health Ministry is facing the “biggest challenge humanity has known in decades,” and calling on the Israeli public to get the third jab…”Every Israeli contemplating the vaccination should not just think of protecting his family, but also protecting Israelis who cannot get vaccinated,” Herzog said.”
Quote: “Israel’s coronavirus cabinet announced Tuesday night that starting Aug. 20, the country will revive its full green pass system.

That was the message delivered by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in a ruling issued Monday that will allow the public university’s requirement that all students and employees receive a COVID-19 vaccine before the start of the fall semester to stand.The court said that colleges and universities may decide what is necessary to keep students safe in the decision denying a request for an injunction made by a group of eight students seeking to block the mandate, alleging that it violates their constitutional rights. “People who do not want to be vaccinated may go elsewhere,” wrote Judge Frank Easterbrook in the decision.”
Quote: “Several hundred Israelis have demonstrated in Tel Aviv against new coronavirus restrictions and vaccination…Israel has in recent days rolled out a booster vaccine shot for older citizens, reimposed mask requirements indoors and restored “green pass” restrictions requiring vaccine certificates for entering enclosed spaces such as gyms, restaurants and hotels.”
Quote: Governor “Ivey told reporters last Thursday that “folks [are] supposed to have common sense,” when it comes to getting their shots, adding: “It’s time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks, not the regular folks. It’s the unvaccinated folks that are letting us down.”In her op-ed, she acknowledged that there are risks that come along with the vaccine, but noted that the benefits “far outweigh” any risks. “The hard, cold facts show the vaccine is saving lives. This virus is deadly serious, and in the United States, the pandemic is unfortunately becoming one of the unvaccinated,” Ivey wrote.She later added, “We have a weapon today to battle COVID-19 that we didn’t have a year ago. It’s up to you to use the good common-sense God gave you to do what is best for you and your loved ones.””
Quote: “Health department workers and community outreach groups have kicked off a “doses to doors” COVID-19 vaccination campaign in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, where just 49% of residents have received at least one jab. The program, which officials say offer a convenient way for residents to get the shot without having to worry about travel, was met with mixed reaction on Twitter. “They don’t move that fast to help people when they know a hurricane is coming,” one Twitter user wrote…In nearby South Carolina, Gov. Henry McMaster has tried to block such door-to-door efforts, drawing a rebuke from the White House…”We’re not confrontational, it’s not like you have to get the shot,” Robert Dawkins, a volunteer with Action NC, told WBTV.com. “But our job is to dispel rumors and things. We get people that will say ‘yes I will get the shot,’ but the follow-up has always been the issue. Will they go? How can we get people to go out and go? So, now that the health department is out with us, we miss that middle man.””
Church Corruption
“But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” 2 Timothy 3:13
“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.” 2 Timothy 4:2-5
“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.” 2 Peter 2:1-3
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.16 Ye shall know them by their fruits…Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Matthew 7:15-16a, 21-23
Quote: “I was very surprised, then, to say the least, to read the following information which arrived in an email from Athanasius (Martin Blackshaw): “I have concerns about a letter from Fr. Paul Robinson (SSPX) in response to the faithful in Colorado who have been asking the SSPX to supply priest letters preventing them from being forced into vaccination in order to keep their jobs. This is the new law in Colorado that comes into effect in September. Anyway, to cut a long story short, Fr. Robinson says the SSPX priests don’t need to sign letters because the faithful have their own human rights to stand on. He attaches a template letter for them to use if they have a conscience issue with the vaccines. but reiterates the SSPX position that it approves the vaccines under certain circumstances. In other words, don’t look to us for leadership, it’s every conscience for itself and the choice is yours. Very worrying!“”
Note: this is a disgusting, nauseating article, and is a horrific example of misunderstanding the word of God and His instruction to love one another. It is a foul stench that they are calling an aroma of incense. It is Pan piping away a melancholy, mesmerizing tune in order to lead the clueless, trusting sheep over the cliff to their death.
Note: this is not only nauseating, but blasphemous! Evil, evil man! Deceived and being deceived! How dare you boldly proclaim something so blasphemous and think that God will not strike you!
Quote: “COVID-19 vaccines are a gift from God and an answer to prayer, one of the nation’s top health authorities told Baptist News Global in an exclusive interview July 22.“Give God the glory but roll up your sleeve,” said Francis Collins, an evangelical Christian who heads the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md.It is not enough for Christians to say they trust God to deliver them or to pray for God’s protection from illness when they are unwilling to partake of the means of protection God has made available, he said…Another trusted source of counsel is clergy, Collins said. Even though some clergy may be criticized for such advocacy, they have a platform and the trust to encourage vaccination.“This is a place where most clergy can play an important role. To the point of setting up vaccination clinics in their fellowship halls. That sends a message.”Pastors and other faith leaders are needed to be “ambassadors for the truth,” he urged. “Do not grow tired of doing good.””
Note: Though the above article was published back in January 2021, it has just come to my attention in August and is still shows the true horrors of abortion used in the making of vaccines, and how the Catholic Church and Pope say that it is all necessary.
Quote: “On Thursday, Vatican News confirmed that both Pope Emeritus Benedict and Pope Francis have received the currently available COVID-19 vaccines, themselves providing an example, ostensibly, for the Church as a whole. In the world’s eyes, I suspect this spells the end of any claim a Catholic might otherwise make for religious exemption to required reception of the current vaccines…The pope and former pope’s actions here may make life difficult for Catholics whose personal conscience recoils at the irreconcilable dissonance of the Vatican press office statement that “it is morally acceptable to receive COVID-19 vaccines that have used cell lines from aborted fetuses in their research and productions process.”…
A favorite exhortation of TV pundits lately is to follow the science, which is excellent advice if actually taken to heart, and exactly what the word con-science means—with science, or with knowledge. If we are to uphold our individual responsibility to form our consciences, we are obligated to actively pursue the knowledge of truth, which is ensured only by exploring and vetting a variety of sources and perspectives, even and especially while doing so has become increasingly difficult. Two truly excellent sources have come about in the past weeks to assist Catholics in the task of forming their individual consciences with regard to the vaccine…
…when money is the motivator, voiced dissent does not speak as loudly as refusal…
…If concern for our neighbors does not burden our hearts into the acceptance of evil as a means to an end, even a good one such as the prevention of COVID-19, there exist other mechanisms of coercion that appeal to our own self-preservation. These are the social disincentives to refusal of ethically-tainted vaccines, from which our Church will now not protect us. Instead of saying, “my Church objects,” those whose informed Catholic conscience now binds them to refusal of the vaccine must now only say, “I object.””
Quote: ““It may be that the church should first think about speaking of the virtue of courage in terms of some of our members feeling called and inspired to be among the early adopters of the vaccine,” he said. “I also think the call to love our neighbors would be an appropriate place for pastors to emphasize that as Christians take the vaccine perhaps on the front end of the process by showing some courage, we have a chance to finally help make a dent in this awful disease and to, in the end, demonstrate love for our neighbors.”…
…“The new iteration of it is a kind of anti-elite, anti-science, anti-empirical kind of universe that I think the right wing in America is inhabiting,” he said. “While taking a vaccine shouldn’t be political in any way, if it is a political statement to trust science and scientists when it comes to something like a vaccine, then it’s a statement we’ll have to make for the well-being of the whole. It’s individualism versus concern for the common good, and I think Christians are called to concern for the common good.””
Conquering and to Conquer
“And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.” Revelation 6:1-2
“And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many…” Daniel 8:23-25
Quote: “Israel’s foreign minister will fly to Morocco on Wednesday for a visit that will help cement ties between the two countries less than a year after they signed a deal to normalize relations…The visit will be the first by an Israeli minister since the signing of the “Abraham Accords,” the U.S.-brokered normalization agreements between Israel and four Arab states: Morocco, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan.”
Quote: “As the world marks the first anniversary of the Abraham Accords, highlighting the new relationship between United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israel, the Chief Rabbinate in the UAE has created a special prayer for synagogues around the world to mark the historic occasion.The prayer will be distributed to more than 1,000 synagogues around the world, including those associated with the Rabbinical Council of America…“We are very excited to celebrate the first anniversary with the rest of the region and prayer is one way we can do that,” said Senior Rabbi Dr. Elie Abadie. “Our community has had the opportunity to host many Emiratis for Shabbat (Sabbath – ed.) over the last year and we have had dynamic conversations about our commonalities and what unites us. This prayer furthers that.””
Quote: ““The Jerusalem Center is the first research institute in Israel to sign cooperation agreements with think tanks in both the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. We intend to expand collaboration to other countries within the framework of the Abraham Accords and beyond,” the JCPA said in a statement.Gold said the following before the signing ceremony: “We at the JCPA decided to create a network of research institutes in the Persian Gulf region and in other countries. Our goal is to create an array of cooperation agreements with the countries of the Abraham Accords and to convey a message to the United States, Europe and other countries of a realistic understanding of the challenges that we share – the danger of Iran’s policies in the region and in the world.”
Quote: “India’s air force chief is wrapping up a four-day visit to Israel on Friday, amid mounting outrage in New Delhi over the government’s alleged use of Israeli spyware to hack the phones of opposition parties, journalists and activists.Air force chief RKS Bhadauria arrived in Israel on Tuesday after visiting the United Arab Emirates, where he held meetings with his Emirati counterpart Major General Ibrahim Nasser M Al Alawi, the Indian air force reported. “As strategic partners, India and Israel enjoy strong, multi-dimensional ties, an important pillar of which is defence cooperation & military level exchanges,” the Indian air force said in a statement on Twitter.”Both sides will discuss enhancement in the depth and scope of bilateral exchanges between the two Air Forces,” it added.”… Bhadauria’s visit comes just weeks after a consortium of media organisations reported that 50,000 phone numbers had been earmarked for potential surveillance by the military grade Pegasus software, sold by Israeli company NSO Group to clients around the world… Though NSO’s client in India is yet to be confirmed, the military-grade software is only sold to governments, placing Narendra Modi’s government under heightened scrutiny. Neither the Indian government nor NSO has denied working with each other…”This organisation [NSO] cannot work without the knowledge of the Israeli establishment, so here is a case where the Israeli establishment is involved in keeping an eye on Indian public personalities, but the government is unmoved and enhancing its military relationship with Israel. This is how this government works.””
Quote: “The recent conflict between Hamas and Israel didn’t circumvent Israel growing relations with the UAE and even response from Saudi Arabia and a few Gulf partners, including Oman and Bahrain, sanctioned a needed legitimacy to foresee a possible alliance in the aftermath of Abraham accord.If one talks about the geostrategic complexities, India stands closer to achieve some significant space in this new shift…The Abraham Accord has the potential to change old narratives on Israel, and India can play a more aggressive role in the region. The UAE role is most important here and this will also establish when and how Saudi Arabia would officially join this new alliance. At the bilateral level, Saudi-Israel relation is still shaped in secrecy…Indian story needs a change both in perception and in reality. In the aftermath of the Abraham Accord, these emerging contacts among India, Israel and the Gulf countries can serve the interest of all parties based on mutual trust and shared strategic values.”
Quote: “In addition to their bilateral exercises, China and Russia are also to interact militarily with other nations as well. Also in August, China and Russia will participate alongside Belarus, Israel, Mongolia, Serbia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan for the annual International Army Games, which will run from August 22 to September 4. On Thursday, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that a contingent of People’s Liberation Army equipment had crossed the Sino-Russian border at Zabaikalsk station.In Beijing, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Colonel Wu Qiang told reporters Thursday that such games play “an active role in enhancing the friendship between the Chinese military and the military of participating countries, including Russia, strengthening exchanges in the field of training and improving the level of actual combat training.””
“The games will be followed in September by the biennial Peace Mission exercise of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.The eight-member bloc includes both China and Russia as well as India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Military representatives of these nations met Wednesday in the Tajik capital of Dushanbe to discuss regional affairs and express their unanimous support for joint security and counterterrorism measures such as the Peace Mission drills.”
Persecution
“Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.” Matthew 24:9-10
Quote: “On July 28, a pastor and his wife were brutally assaulted by a mob of radical Hindu nationalists wielding an iron chain and wooden clubs…As the attack continued, a person passing by stopped his vehicle and rescued Pastor Maniraj and his wife. This person took the couple to the nearby hospital for emergency treatment.“I was so scared when my husband fell to the ground and there was no one to help,” Pastor Maniraj’s wife told International Christian Concern (ICC). “I tried to get help from people who were passing by, but many refused. Praise the Lord that one person came forward and took my husband to the hospital.””
Quote: “Afghanistan’s Christians are already mostly underground…Due to the spreading insecurity, the likelihood of a civil war in the already war-torn country is growing more and more likely. The Christian community has never been welcomed in the country and now is feeling even more threatened as the US troop withdrawal peels back another layer of stability and security.Whatever the structure of the Church inside Afghanistan, if the Taliban fully assumes control, the Afghan church will face a difficult road. Women’s rights, which have increased over the years, will likely be rolled back and the investment of nearly $1 trillion in the 20-year long conflict will have little to show in terms of sustainable development and progress.”
