Fruit of the Pure at Heart

One bucketful with my old backhoe and I could tell right away that I was into some really good dirt. I guess a lot of folks don’t know good dirt when they see it, or maybe there’s a lot of people who’ve never had the opportunity to work with soil and so wouldn’t be able to distinguish one type of dirt from another, but I’ve been working gardens and such for decades, and this loam from the edge of the woods looks and smells like it belongs under some tomato plants.

I took the opportunity this morning to remove a big old plum tree from my back yard. The thing just hasn’t produced any plums for several years now. It sends root runners out into my garden and plum saplings are constantly shooting up from the roots and always in places where I don’t want them. That tree was a sort of landmark here and I had mixed emotions about getting rid of it. My dogs seem to feel the same because it was a good shade tree for those hot summer days of dripping doggie tongues, but it’s out of there now and we’re all just going to have to get used to it. There are plenty of shade trees out there. Filling the hole in the yard is where the fresh dirt comes in.

While I was tugging at the stump with the backhoe I was reminded of that fig tree that Jesus cursed for the same reason I got rid of my plum tree – non-productivity. He used the incident with the tree to demonstrate to us how He feels about things (or people) that do not avail themselves of opportunity to bear fruit. He wasn’t pleased to say the least. There are several ways to bear fruit for Jesus, He said that if we even give a disciple a cup of water there’s a reward for us. We have opportunities all the time to encourage our brothers and sisters to hold fast to their faith.

If we know that we are supposed to bear fruit to the glory of the Lord and yet do not do so, we might find ourselves in the same predicament as that fig tree. When I first read that passage about that fig tree, my interpretation was that Jesus was hungry and went to the tree for a fig to eat and was disappointed and angry because He was hungry and there was nothing to eat on what should have been a fruitful tree. I should have known better, Jesus just ain’t that shallow nor vindictive. He knew what it was like to be hungry. No, He was, as is typical for Him, using the incident as a teaching moment – all the way to the next day when the tree was dead and shriveled up. Did you get the message? I must admit, it took me a while, but the more I come to know Jesus and His ways, the easier things like that are to understand.

Jesus’ ministry is full of lessons for us if we but open our eyes and hearts to His remarkable truth. His time to establish His covenant and His ministry was very short, so every word He spoke had profound meaning – He didn’t waste words or opportunities to make impactful lessons for His followers. He continues to do so today, if we choose to listen with our hearts. He said in the Sermon on the Mount that blessed are the pure at heart for they shall see God. Wow! But didn’t the scriptures say that we cannot lay eyes on God or we would die? What did Jesus mean by saying the pure at heart shall see God? This one is yet another opportunity to understand Him, for we know from scriptures that one day we will all stand before – and thus see – God; even the not pure at heart will see God then, so what did He mean?

He was speaking of the here and now, we have the opportunity to see God, not with our eyes, but with our hearts. But only if that heart is pure; honest, and never trying to fool ourselves into believing things that go against Jesus’ teaching. If we are completely honest with our Lord, even about things that make us uncomfortable or ashamed, it’s only then that we can allow Jesus to teach us things – more often than not, things about ourselves – and chastise us when we’re wrong, and a window miraculously opens that blesses us with the opportunity to experience fellowship with the Almighty in ways we never imagined. We “see” God in nature, in His Word, in the heavens, in the hearts of our fellow travelers, and this simply as a result of surrendering our foolish pride to a hitherto unexperienced and unpracticed purity, or honesty with God, but just as crucially, with ourselves.

The kind of purity of heart to which Jesus refers is of a profound nature and of necessity cannot be casually inculcated. It might require a complete rethinking of our political leanings – we might find ourselves entertaining notions we would otherwise have rejected in our quest for this consummate fellowship with God. Maybe we stop and fish our wallet out to help that beggar we always held in disdain because we were so convinced he could get a job if he was worth his salt. We come to realize things like those “illegal” aliens we have always abhorred might just deserve a bit of empathy and maybe even some help to get a leg up in a callous world that has been cruel to them at every turn. When you determine to become pure at heart as Jesus means it, you begin a journey that you will be on for the rest of your life if you are sincere.

Then at some point, like being hit with a bale of hay going sixty miles an hour, you will realize that you actually can see God – it’ll be so obvious when you realize that you could have seen Him all along – if only you’d been looking with your heart instead of your eyes. When we are admonished to watch as well as pray, this is the same sense – we are to watch with our hearts as well as our eyes. When we see evil overtaking the world, we have the full opportunity to see it for what it is and not what some talking head tells us, because God has given us a conscience as our moral compass to guide us. Many people can be convinced that some evil thing is somehow good if they do not have a moral bearing from the Holy Spirit. That’s one of the many things that separates the believers from those who are not pure at heart.

Walk confidently through this journey, always remembering He is beside you at every step. When something goes awry, take courage that you are not facing it alone. Pray for the purity of heart of which this post speaks, and be prepared for some uncomfortable bumps in the road for the Lord promises that He chastises those He loves, and it’s not always pleasant while it’s happening, but if you are sincere, you’ll come out a better person for it. A better person with increasing purity of heart which will increasingly allow you to “see” God. And you’ll also find yourself becoming a fruitful tree.

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

Perils of Serving the Wrong Master – Here and Beyond

Jerusalem burns, flames fanned by high winds. Southern Israel experiences a huge sandstorm blown in from one of the many Mediterranean area deserts. Although the (mostly European descended) people who have moved into the Holy Land are not indigenous to the area, they have arrogated to themselves the identity of those who do have legitimate claim. They seem to be hell-bent on destroying the last of the true semitic peoples, the Palestinians, in Israel.

The once upstanding United States has become the number one supporter in the genocide being perpetrated on the Gazans, and by doing so, has become possibly the most hated nation on earth. Trump has ordered US military forces to attack the Houthis, the only country in the world that can be seen as heroic in their efforts to help the intensely suffering Gazans, although the Hezbollah group in Lebanon put up a valiant effort for a while, before a multinational coalition put an end to Syria as the world knew it. Lebanon got a president installed who looks to be pro-western, i.e., easily bought – so Hezbollah is in a precarious situation for now. The Houthis continue unabated despite heavy bombardment from what appears to be a hopelessly incompetent Trump led military. For Netanyahu – anagram of Yemen – enemy!

All in all, it looks like a pretty dismal situation for people who prefer peace and especially for folks who hate to see the starving children of Gaza. A flotilla of intended aid for the Gazans was attacked by Israeli drones en route similar to how Israel blocked the Turkish aid boat Mavi Marmara in 2010, but that time they actually boarded a boat and killed some people. Erdogan bloviated as usual, but did not respond effectively, also as usual.

The world sees the evil of the Gaza genocide for what it is, but when decent folks call it out, the perps don’t seem to mind, in fact if I didn’t know better, I’d swear they enjoy the publicity – they LIKE being regarded as evil. When someone likens Benjamin Netanyahu to Satan, he takes it as a compliment, like his boss (Satan) will be proud of him for being seen as Satanic. Jesus said these people who call themselves Jews but art not, are a synagogue of Satan and they seem to know it. There’s a video I happened to see a few days ago about an incident some time ago after the Zionists burned a little 18-month-old boy alive and word got out about it and the civilized world were shocked by it’s repugnance, wherein the Zionists, to demonstrate their arrogance, threw a big party and were dancing joyfully with sign posters of pictures of the little boy and celebrating that evil act – and videoing it! That was something you might expect to see in some burning corner of hell with demons dancing and shouting to celebrate an unimaginably horrid evil event. And there it was for all the world to see – the kind of evil these people perpetrate on the world, and we send them bombs.

There are also places in the pits of hell reserved for Joe Biden and Donald trump which they have earned themselves by supplying support for genocide, but there are so many others – John Hagee, Mike Huckabee (at one time I thought he was a respectable Christian person – boy was I wrong!), almost the entire US Congress and Senate, the vile Supreme Court – especially the vile Roberts who was appointed by the equally vile George Bush. Bush supported Israel by launching the murderous Iraq war. Anyone who even remotely supports Israel in its headlong rush to hell killing so many innocent people will find themselves on the wrong side of things when they face judgement. The witch Madeline Albright may already be roasting, but there are other witches equally culpable – Nikky Haley, Victoria Nuland and Hillary Clinton come to mind.

At some point I would not be surprised if this crowd will finally just openly declare their support for Satan and I also won’t be surprised to see congregations of megachurches following along. They already do in reality, but there might still be a few well-meaning but deceived members who actually believe they are following the Christian Way who will finally see guys like Hagee, Osteen, and Copeland and so many more for who they really are, but for the life of me I don’t understand how these folks are allowing themselves to be so thoroughly deceived already. Maybe they should read their own Bibles instead of letting frauds like Hagee tell them what it says.

I follow some video channels where they speak of earthquakes and volcanoes on the increase. Some predict a huge solar event that will wreak havoc on life here on earth. We are continuing to stare down the barrel of a nuclear conflagration with no one (except maybe Vladimir Putin) trying to avoid it. Weather events of late have grown intense almost everywhere – rainstorms unlike anything the world has ever seen, tornadoes everywhere, even in places that don’t normally see them, floods all over the world are commonplace, a huge power outage in Europe completely shutting down whole countries, and we don’t seem to be able (or willing) to connect the dots to God’s displeasure at the growing evil in the world. These events are merely the beginning of sorrows – things will get much worse.

There’s a Way to deal with the impending disaster the world is facing. It’s found in the Bible and His name is Jesus Christ. He told us the road would get bumpy at the end and the evil of the world is the specific cause. The angels are already pouring out those bowls of disaster for humanity. We endured the Covid (and inoculation) scam, but that was just a sample of the plagues that loom. Our precious leaders have other depredations cooking in their biolabs and are just waiting for the orders to unleash them and I think they’re going to be much worse, much, much worse, than Covid.

All in all and according to prophecy, we haven’t seen anything yet. If I read Revelation 18 correctly, some country is about to get destroyed by a nuclear attack – I think it will be the US, although there is ample room to interpret that modern Babylon to be London or even Israel, but I think Israel has a big part to play in the very end, so it would be less apt to be the place leveled in Rev 18 – at least the way I read it. Besides, I once heard a preacher say that if God doesn’t destroy the US for its evil ways, then He owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology – and I really believe the United States’ days are numbered. There has never been such a powerful and decadent place in the world, not even in ancient Rome or Athens.

Get out your Bible and read it – live by what it says, our time here is growing short. Stop chasing after wealth; when the end gets here, you’ll see the futility of it – all the riches of Elon Musk, George Soros, and the Zionist billionaires who run the world today will not avail them – in fact it will testify against them – you’ll see. Learn about Jesus Christ – store up your treasure in His Kingdom where it will be safe until we get there. Treasures such as help for the poor, loving our neighbors, a helping hand to an indigent old person – all these things can be considered to be deposits in the account that matters.

We have reached a point in history where we can no longer look to our leadership for guidance, nor can we rely on their wisdom and judgement – they are all in it for the money and power. They no longer look out for the interests of their countries, the only thing that matters to them, the only thing that guides their decision-making, is how much wealth they can gain by what they do. Remember the passage in the Bible when Satan tempted Jesus and offered Him all the wealth and power? Jesus turned Saan down, but there are a lot of rich guys in the world today who took the devil up on the same offer – now they must pay their debt to him – with the blood of innocent people and especially Christians. Hang on folks, it’s about to get crazy for believers.

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

A Promise for the Poor – the Salt of the Earth

This post is to reach people with no hope to convince them that they have good reason to hope. The key to understanding this is to be able to zoom out, as it were. We have to exercise the vision that the Almighty has so generously given us and see that the life we are caught up in right now is but a small part of a reality that is difficult – but not impossible – to comprehend. At least we have the opportunity to comprehend enough of it to understand where we fit in the grand scheme.

God, our Creator, left us a road map so that we can find Him. He also left us with the promise of another life after this one. There are many religions in our world, and they teach many differing accounts of our existence and our future, and I don’t want to get too far into what their adherents believe, because the intent of this post is to share what I have been taught by the Spirit of God. What I believe is real – God has brought me through storms in this life that I don’t see many others having to endure. I understand we all have our own bumpy roads to travel, and I can only speak of my own experiences. Following the road map that God left us has worked for me, and since it has, I’m bound to share what I have learned.

We all have a need to connect, a yearning in our hearts to learn what our lives are all about, and it’s like we all walk around with this electric cord in our hand looking for a place to plug it in. Once we locate the correct receptacle, we expect to be able to power up our inquisitive minds and find the answers we all seek. Ok, maybe that’s a weak analogy, but you get the idea. Please hear me out – I’m writing to tell you that the only place you can connect to find the meaning of life is Jesus Christ. He is the only Being in all of this crowded universe that can direct our paths to the Kingdom of the Almighty God. In the Holy Bible, He tells us: [John 14:6]:”Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.“

This passage gives us a lot of information if we study it. The Christian religion, for those who faithfully follow it, recognizes Jesus as the source of all truth. The religion of Islam even recognizes Jesus, who they call Isa, to be a great prophet, so if He is indeed a prophet, and prophets don’t lie, then when He says He is the only way to God, He is giving us the greatest bit of information a human being can embrace. I do not consider Christianity to only be another religion of many in the world. Jesus Christ stands triumphantly upon the top of all of the world’s religions. The very last thing I want to do is to offend anyone of any other faith, but I’m here to tell you that if you’ll just look at how the world is shaping up in these later days, you can easily see with which faith that Satan, from whence all evil emanates, has chosen to do battle. It is Christianity – faithful Christians are being persecuted and executed in several places in the world.

It’s painfully obvious that many peoples of all walks are dying in diverse places by the sword, but as opposed to ethnicities who have been historically persecuted because of their behavior, Christians are dying because of their faith. This has happened throughout history – Christians died before the crowds in the Roman coliseum. The Catholic church, in the dark ages a bastion of evil, burned Christian believers at the stake for heresy if their beliefs were not approved by the “church”. The Bible, in Revelations 12 metaphorically speaks of a woman giving birth to a male child and a vicious dragon (Satan) was standing before her to kill the child as soon as it was born, but the child (Jesus) was taken up to Heaven and the dragon waged war on the woman (the true Church) thereafter. The dragon is indeed waging war on Jesus’ people, but we do not fear him, for our Lord is greater. We may end up leaving this life as He did, but our reward awaits us in the next. When you’ve been around in this world as long as I have, you realize this world has nothing to offer – regardless of what the decadent wealthy people would have you think. Our time here is short, but the next life will last forever.

Jesus referred to us common folk as the salt of the earth, meaning we have more value than we realize, but we must keep our “flavor”. We must accept our stations in life, no matter how humble – in fact, the poor will inherit eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven. [Luke 6:20]: “And he (Jesus) lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.” When we get caught up in the lusts and the desires of the world and choose to follow after the ways of the worldly people – the rich – we start to lose our flavor; our saltiness, and when this happens, we become worthless to Him. We are good for nothing anymore other than to be trampled underfoot by those people we want to be like. [Matthew 5:13]: “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.”

You, no matter how poor, how hopeless, or destitute, are exactly the person that Jesus Christ is seeking to invite into His magnificent Kingdom. If you are burdened with a heavy load of sins from your past, He stands ready to forgive you and wash your sins away with His own precious blood. It is not humanly possible to understand how much He loves you. He died for you so that you would get this opportunity to accept His offer of eternal life, such is His desire to have fellowship, companionship with you. What a Friend! All authority on earth and in Heaven has been given to Him, and one day He will return to collect His people who will be given kingship with Him. The evil ones who run the world now – in service to Satan – will finally see justice. Unfortunately, a lot of people who are not in leadership positions but have lost their saltiness to desires of the flesh, will not be allowed into the Kingdom either.

Losing the chance to receive eternal life in the Paradise of God will be an unimaginable loss, and it is very easy to avoid. The only thing we have to do is to accept Jesus Christ for who He says He is, repent and be baptized into His Church. We must live for Him, and if the situation requires it, we must be prepared to die for Him as have so many martyrs before us. It might look to be a fearsome fate, but death is something we all must endure anyway, and it would be much easier to endure when the time comes, knowing that we are but moments from joining Him in Paradise.

Regardless of what Satan would have you believe, living for Jesus ain’t half bad. Choosing to live a Spiritual life gives us an opportunity to appreciate God’s creation in ways that worldly people don’t understand. We learn some meaningful things about our lives and the lives of others that we wouldn’t have explored without the Spirit to reveal them to us. Jesus said: [Revelation 2:17]: “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.” That hidden manna nourishes us spiritually and gives us knowledge that is only reserved for Jesus’ people, and it can only come from the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

Wherever you are, whatever your station in life, Jesus stands at the door of your heart and knocks. He said if you but open the door for Him that He would come into your heart and dine with you – and you with Him. That means He is ready to walk with you – all the way to that magnificent Kingdom He promises you – and Jesus Christ keeps His promises. Will you open the door?

Forget this world – there’s nothing here for decent people anyways. Look to the light of Jesus Christ’s salvation. I can promise you’ll be eternally glad you did. Please share this post with friends, relatives, and people you don’t know – our time here is getting very short and our love for Jesus and each other is all that matters now. This site is not monetized, so I don’t need the numbers – not on this earth anyways, but I would like to help the message of salvation get spread far and wide – especially to the salt of the earth in places like Appalachia, the Ozarks, and as far as the Tondo in Manila, Khayelitsha in Cape Town, Kibera in Nairobi, Dharavi in Mumbai, Ciudad Neza in Mexico City, Orangi Town in Karachi, Kangari in Nairobi, Mathre in Nairobi, Rocinha in Rio de Janero, Makoko in Lagos, and folks in Indonesia and Malaysia. Jesus loves you all! Remember that great angel flying across the world with the Gospel! [Revelation 14:6]: “And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people…”

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

Get On the Right Side of Things this Good Friday

It’s a nice morning in the Ozarks, not too warm, cloudy with a good chance of a nice spring rain, and I don’t have to battle my conscience over not working in the garden thanks to the weather. Tomorrow is Good Friday, and maybe during the short time we humans have left here on the earth we should all take time out to remember the sacrifice Jesus made for us so long ago. There may not be that many more Good Fridays left for us to do so.

We can’t imagine the turmoil He went through on that day, culminating in His arrest and crucifixion. His betrayal by one of His followers, Judas, was possibly one of the toughest things He had to endure, and if you look around to the world that purports to be Christian today, you can see other iterations of that same betrayal being played out. Today’s false prophet “followers” of Christ are the same as Judas, the only difference is that they have a somewhat higher price tag – evangelical pastors of the megachurches are worth millions nowadays, rendering the 30 pieces of silver Judas received a mere pittance. Instead of betraying the Savior with a kiss, they betray Him by leading His would-be flocks into the abyss – all the while operating under the banner of Christianity. The pew warmers to whom they preach don’t know, or more accurately don’t want to know they are being misled, they just pile the dough into the offering plate to assuage their consciences in the duplicitous expectation of purchasing themselves admission into Jesus’ kingdom. They will realize too late that they have no more hope of inclusion in the Kingdom of God than those marshmallow eggs their kids and grandkids will eagerly seek come Sunday.

On this day of remembrance America stands at a crossroads in our spiritual evolution, and for many that isn’t a good thing. We watch as our “leaders” take our nation down this path Satan has chosen, and few even bother to intimate that they realize we’re headed the wrong way, in fact, I’d be willing to wager that there are more folks speaking out against America’s support of evil like genocide coming from outside the nation’s churches than from within them. It’s like Satan has this country in his grip from every angle, and the “faithful” are the most silent about it. Maybe this is because they are also among the most culpable. They sit on the pews listening to blatant falsehoods from verbose hypocrites behind the pulpits, never bothering to fact check them from their own Bibles – and go on about their business, which in most cases is supporting whatever evil happens to be the flavor of the day – with no hint of conflict with spiritual conscience. The key giveaway for these churches is that Satan completely leaves them alone – they do not endure attacks from the authorities because they do not promulgate truth. Truth, which is a fundamental trait of – and requirement by – Christ, is the greatest enemy of the Satanic authorities, and they are all about showing it to be so. People who speak out are being censored, jailed, deported, etc. right here in the land of the free.

The leaders of America are almost all captive to the Synagogue of Satan, there’s no denying it although in most circles it is forbidden to point out. You won’t hear on CNN or FOX of senators and congresspeople having to consult with their AIPAC (Israeli/Mossad) handlers before they debate or vote on any bill that comes before them. Whatever might concern Zionist Israel is indeed of primary concern in Washington these days. Aside from the Zionist lucre that showers them, there are many who believe officials in Washington fear their names might appear in Epstein lists, so these ones are especially careful to obtain permission from AIPAC before even breathing. And you’d think Trump would grow tired of embarrassing himself and America by showing himself to be Netanyahu’s chair boy, but today’s Trump seem to be all about golf and pushing chairs in slavish obedience to the murderous Bibi.

Today’s Israel is a country practicing pure evil; they have made a deal with the devil, and anyone and everyone who supports them are doing Satan’s bidding, I don’t care what Hagee says – he’s a liar of the darkest and most evil kind. If you have an inkling of spirituality about you and are a member of that kind of Synagogue, get away from them. Have the filth of the false preachers like that washed from you by the blood of Christ. By all means, come out from among them, for their punishment will be horrific as the wrath of God comes down upon those (Israel and their supporters) who are avowed enemies of Jesus Christ. Never forget, although they claim to be, these people are not Jews (re Jesus Christ, Revelation 2:9, 3:9). So, who are you going to believe, Jesus Christ, or John Hagee? They are definitely saying two opposing things which means one of them is lying, so which one do you believe? One day this man will stand before Jesus Christ, and will be required to give an account of himself as he knows he is convicted by his bloody hands (and his considerable wealth) – are you going to be standing behind him then like you do now? If you choose to do so, your hands will be covered with the blood of innocent Palestinian children just like his.

Our Lord and Savior didn’t go through the pain and humiliation of Calvary so that He could be mocked today, especially by those who purport to be His servants as did His disciple Judas. When the Jews who crucified Him said “Let His blood be on our heads and on the heads of our children.”, that oath would seem to be inherited as well by those who are not Jews but claim to be, as are the Zionist Israelis. I’m convinced they brought that oath upon themselves by claiming to be Jews, even though they are not, but are a Synagogue of Satan. That same oath might just apply as well to “Christians” who support these avowed enemies of Jesus Christ, indeed, many of them claim themselves to be Zionists. Are we seeing the same betrayal of Jesus Christ by His followers this Good Friday as He endured on that first one two thousand years ago?

Think about who you support as you remember the Lord’s death and resurrection. Don’t let innocent blood get on your hands. Come out from among them.

In Remembrance of the Great Victory

This is the big weekend we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord after He defeated death – for us. A lot of folks have mixed feelings about how we remember the crucifixion and it’s understandable that they do so, because of some of the rituals in which people engage. As for myself, I don’t see how hunting colored eggs have anything to do with remembering the resurrection, but I also don’t have a problem with folks taking a weekend to remember the death and resurrection of the Savior. I have the same problem with people turning it into a remembrance of the Passover or any other thing in lieu of Christ’s resurrection, as I have with those who would use this weekend to celebrate a false god, be it Ishtar or any other. I’m not saying people shouldn’t remember the Passover; it was a big part of Biblical history of the Hebrews, but to try and replace the remembrance of the Resurrection with a Jewish holiday which was never about non-Jews is Gentiles missing out on a chance to glorify Jesus Christ whose sacrifice was for Gentiles as well as Jews. I’m not trying to get anyone’s dander up, but there’s a vicious enemy about who hates any mention or celebration of Jesus Christ, and you can bet he would be in favor of eliminating a Christian holiday and replacing it with something else, anything else, so there’s that.

We keep seeing troublesome things happening in our world, and for some folks it seems to be overbearing to think about trying to find our way through it all. When we look at the rampant evil that’s taking place, it’s easy get frustrated and I’m not above it myself, but we have all the help in the world that we need if we just look in the right place, and when we talk to Jesus about our frustration, He lifts us, lifts our spirit to where it needs to be, especially in times when we celebrate Him and what He did for us. We just have to keep looking to that cross.

It’s crucial to keep in mind that by His ministry culminating in His selfless act on the cross, Jesus Christ has all authority over things here on the earth and over the spiritual realm as well. Life here is still an uphill battle for believers, especially when we have to make our way in this world full of nonbelievers – folks who by and large think we Christians are looney. Well, let them think what they will; they don’t realize we are not alone down here. We have an all-powerful God who sees our plight and gives us the strength we need to endure through this insanity. Jesus Christ is by far the very best friend a human being can have, both in this world and in the next. Whether you know it or not, He’s right beside you and ready to grab you by the collar and pull you through whatever battle Satan has thrust upon you if you just trust Him. He has earned that trust by what He did for us on the cross.

Our political leaders have gone completely bonkers in their servitude to Satan and there’s not much we can do about it, but then, as frustrating as it is sometimes, we don’t have to do anything about it. It’s above our paygrade to try and direct the demons in charge of powerful men, yet we can and should pray for them – there’s always the chance that they might see the error of their ways and repent. It has happened in the past. Remember the citizens of Ninevah, and King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. Some important guys in the here and now see the evil in what is going on and resent it, but they are also basically helpless, remember Nicodemus and his support of Jesus, but he was surrounded by the Sanhedrin and the Pharisees and could do little to help the Lord. Anyone stepping in to avoid the crucifixion wasn’t possible; remember He could have summoned thousands of angels to rescue Him if He had chosen to, but He endured that cross for you and me.

If you are in a part of the country where you can get out and enjoy the dogwoods, by all means try to do so – we’re getting a spectacular bloom once again. There are old legends – I remember one of my elementary school teachers (back in the Pleistocene) telling us that the cross was made of dogwood tree and ever since the crucifixion, dogwoods have never grown big enough to make a cross from. I’m not sure about the veracity of that one, but the flower petals grow in sort of a cross shape – anyways the dogwood bloom always reminds me of Jesus’ crucifixion. Glorify Him at every opportunity. Enjoy this blessed weekend.

Escaping the Web of Involute Prevarications

John 8:44: Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

What a valuable commodity the truth has become! Those of us who have the good fortune (or misfortune, it depends on your POV) to be alive today have attained to a period in history in which the great lie(s) that have sustained those in power are coming unwound. It’s an amazing thing to see, but it is also a dangerous time for all people. When vicious servants of evil in powerful positions become faced with their house of cards beginning to flutter away in the breeze, they have a propensity to get crazy.

It’s an interesting time – we have the opportunity to stare truth in the eyes and as we do so, those who have built their very existence on heaps of mistruths now become frantic. Organizations, especially all of those in the business of “intelligence” have become so adept at producing fabricated views of things that are happening that lying is really the only thing at which they excel. Seriously, the CIA has produced lies for so long that lying is the only thing they can do. Don’t think for a second that they aren’t good at it, because they are. The tentacles of “intelligence” agencies are everywhere, but most notably in the media. There’s no need to expound on Operation Mockingbird, because folks who know what it is are already aware of the activities of the secret government program, and the MAGA crowd, of whom few have ever even heard of it, won’t listen anyways, because they swear by anything put out by their favorite “news” channel. Thanks to the internet, the “secret” government programs are becoming less and less secret; we can now find new sources of information, and I believe this will render the lies of the media so obvious that the media empire will eventually crumble.

A lot of public figures seem to be taken aback that there are people in right here in the good old USA who would dare to question official government narratives but that only reveals how separated from reality they are. When most reasonable folks finally get hit in the head with the sledgehammer blow that an “official” government story is a blatant lie, they have a tendency to question everything they hear from that source, it’s just human nature.

Here’s a scenario that demonstrates what I’m trying to get across: In almost every instance when there’s been a crime, when reporters ask any pertinent question about it, some representative of authority always smugly replies something like “I’m not going to discuss this because there’s an ongoing investigation.” In other words, they would have you to believe that any public disclosure of information about the event could jeopardize a criminal investigation. We all know this is how they react to any pertinent questions about an event, we’ve all seen it time and again, especially when it comes to revealing anything about a possible suspect – that’s just how they always answer. Now think about this, on 9/11, 2001, even before all the buildings came down, far from worrying about compromising an investigation all mainstream media were showing on screen photographs of the supposed perpetrators, including some of them boarding the planes. If they already knew who did it that fast, why did they let it happen? The narrative was obviously precooked, they already had any and every answer to who the suspects were, and instead of the trite, “Can’t comment on an ongoing investigation”, they were gushing the narrative out as fast as possible. This, incidentally, is how you pull off the Hegelian dialectic – create an event, create a narrative that describes what happened, assigns blame to whomever, and get ahead of any possible investigation by publishing that narrative as quickly as possible to get the “official” story into the head of John Q. Public, so quickly and firmly that it would take a nuclear explosion to dislodge the false narrative from his mind. And few people caught the extreme departure from the normal pat answer in how authorities were willing – only in this one case – to divulge information that would have otherwise taken a crowbar to pry from them.

Another reveal on 9/11 was at the Florida elementary school where W was reading a kids book to the kids when Andrew Card came over and whispered into his ear that the country was under attack and Bush just kept reading. In the real world, the secret service guys would have been going nuts getting the American president out of there (under the assumption that the “enemy” probably would have known where he was) and onto a plane as quickly as humanly possible, but if all parties concerned already knew and expected what was happening, then they would have just let him keep reading – which is exactly what happened. I’m not saying everyone already knew the attack was about to happen, I’m just saying that they all reacted as if they knew exactly that.

Today everyone knows that Colin Powell was lying in his address to the UN about Iraq biological weapons, in fact at one point before he died, he admitted his regret that of all the things he accomplished in his career, that lie would be what he would be remembered for. Bush made jokes about looking for weapons of mass destruction. The lie about Sadaam and his weapons that initiated the Iraq debacle was out in the open for everyone to see, yet today the US government can’t figure out why Americans don’t trust them. When you lie to someone and it is revealed, it’s extremely hard if not impossible to recover your lost credibility, and most folks know that. A good start in that direction would be to admit to it, apologize and stop lying to the people, but since the only thing our “intelligence” people can do is to lie to the public, they simply doubled down on their lying. To this day they still lie about 9/11. Even after the stellar debunking of the building 7 narrative by Leroy Hulsey of the University of Alaska, the government still hangs its hat on the flimsy “study” by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). A particularly damning indictment of the government story is when lawyers took NIST to court for lying about their concocted story that the “Judicial” guys involved basically said that a government organization is perfectly allowed to publish any lie they want as long as they can show they were acting in good faith. Of course, NIST or any other entity will always be able to show they were acting diligently. This is the state of our Judiciary in America. Oh, and Muller was the guy in charge of the FBI, who were responsible for the 9/11 cover up. Yes, that would be the same Muller who so publicly led the “investigation” into Trump’s nefarious activities.

There are so many other lies out there that no one is capable of keeping up with them. The Kennedy assassination and the “release” of those files which would be laughable if it wasn’t so serious. The many questions surrounding the Sandy Hook event still haunt the US. Lots of people still believe the Navy shot down that flight 700 over the western Atlantic. Many believe Jeffrey Epstein is still alive and well, in fact it would be much easier to believe that than the cover story about sleeping guards, etc., that they concocted to get away with breaking him out. And why was the Israeli Mossad, for whom Epstein worked, not held responsible for trafficking those underage kids? That just quietly went under the radar – similar to a real 9/11 investigation, which itself was similar to the Warren Commission report on Kennedy’s assassination. The lies about rapes and beheaded babies found in ovens on 10/07 in Occupied Palestine are still in operation with US politicians standing before microphones bleating this long-debunked nonsense, and yes, unfortunately there are still mainstream media viewers that continue to believe them. And Russia absolutely did not provoke the Ukraine debacle, nor or they losing, nor have they lost millions of soldiers.

Perhaps one of the biggest lies extant today is that the people who are presently occupying Israel are in fact, Jews at all. In fact, the descendants of the Hebrews in that land are the ones being slaughtered. The Israeli squatters are all of Easten European origin. Benjamin Netanyahu himself is of Polish descent, having changed his name from Meleikowski to Netanyahu so it sounds more Jewish. As I have written several times, Jesus Christ said of the people who called themselves Jews in the last days that they are liars and blasphemers [Revelation 2:9]; 9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. If this lie could be undone, a lot of people who claim to be Christians here in the US could be of immense help in undoing most of the other lies out there right now that stem from this one.

I think the most amazing thing about all of this is that leaders in the untrustworthy government that produces all of these fabrications all act like they are gobsmacked that there are people out there who have the audacity to question them and their narratives – on anything. And the number of people on board that ship of incredulity is growing rapidly. When they lie, remember whom they are serving – for Satan is the father of lies. All lies. Never forget that.

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

Assessing Politicians and Pastors

There’s a lot of negativity out there concerning Donald Trump, and I must confess I’ve been one of the detractors. As a Christian, I understand my purpose should be to pray for him, pray that he does the right things, but as anyone who follows politics knows well by now that it sure looks like he’s getting himself lost in the woods. It’s awfully hard to pray in sincerity for a man that chooses to kill people, especially when he doesn’t have to. He doesn’t even need to; he seems to be practicing servitude to a genocidal nation of men who in turn practice servitude to Satan.

For all the die hard Trumpsters out there who believe they can support a person who chooses to kill civilians because the militia in their country fights against genocide, and still practice Christianity, well you can’t. Jesus will not hear your prayers if you support blatant murder of innocent people. If you are listening to false pastors who tell you that you must support a nation of murderers, you will only have yourself to blame when you face the Savior at judgement, and He tells you to depart from Him because He never knew you. Open up your own Bible and don’t let the false prophets convince you to try and live by verses they scavenge from the Old Testament and take completely out of context, or that have no longer applied since the New Covenant was established.

The most abused precept in the Bible today is that section where God promised Abraham that He would bless those that bless Israel and curse those that curse them. First of all if you believe Jesus, He said that the people who call themselves Jews in the last days are not Jews at all, so if you think you are obligated to support the imposters squatting in Israel, you are barking up the wrong tree, as always happens when you don’t read your own Bible and let some charlatan tell you what it says. If you can follow the simplest precepts of Christianity, you would know that the title of “God’s Chosen” has been passed to all believers in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, Jew and Gentile. Those who hold on to the old covenant are denying Jesus, so how could antichristians maintain the position of God’s Chosen? They are denying the Son, and in doing so, they are rejecting the Father. When you support these interlopers, you outright join forces with the enemies of Jesus, so good luck with that CUFI on Judgement Day. There is no possible excuse for supporting a nation of imposters posing as descendants of Jacob when even their leader has changed his name from the Polish Mileikowsky to Netanyahu (which means God has given – talk about blasphemy!) so it sounds more Hebraic. If you don’t believe it, Google is your friend – a little cursory research will reveal to you that this guy, and most all of the people squatting in Israel are of European descent and are no more Jewish than you or I.

Since about two thousand years ago, when people have blessed Christians, God has promised to bless them as true inheritors of Abraham’s promise. Those who curse Christians, as do the false Jews, will commensurately be cursed as likewise promised. Jesus said that if you even give His followers a drink of water in His name, you will merit a reward. This comports perfectly with God blessing upon those who bless Christians, thus fulfilling His promise to Abraham.

There is no doubt that those people who presume to be Jews have stolen all the wealth in this country, and probably the whole world. That wealth is why they have the unyielding support of creatures like John Hagee, who is himself a millionaire due to the largesse of the fake Jews. There’s no time to get into the political power that money has given them.

Remember when Satan took Jesus up on the mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms in the world and offered Him kingship over them if He would worship Satan? Jesus turned down Satan’s offer, but there are very wealthy people in the world today who apparently took Satan up on the same offer, or at least one similar, for the wealthy, mostly Zionists, seem to have gained control over the world, and from the demented things they do concerning murdering innocents and the unmentionable things they do to children, they obviously worship Satan. So, follow those false preachers who admonish you to support these evil creatures at your own peril, but don’t say you weren’t warned.

I’ve heard the absurd comment that Donald Trump is already rich, so if he is elected, he won’t be obligated to the rich people, and they won’t be able to sway him with offers of money. Suffice it to say that anyone who could believe such nonsense doesn’t know much about how rich people think. The fact is, they absolutely love money and can never get enough. They worship Mammon – that’s how they roll. They will do anything Satan commands them to do for more wealth, including sending planes to bomb Yemeni civilians.

That’s the real war down here on earth, they can attribute our problems to all kinds of things, but when it comes down to it, the great battle of mankind is and has always been between the wealthy and the not wealthy, but as long as the rich can dupe the peasantry into fighting among themselves, the proles never catch on to who their real enemies are. You’d think they would finally stop being able to get away with it, but then just drive around the countryside and see all the Trump flags in people’s yards. It boggles the mind.

If you are a believer in Christ and are struggling with whether or not to follow some of these preachers, please start with looking at their financial status. There are no true preachers who are millionaires. It just ain’t possible. Look back at the disciples – not one of them was wealthy. Peter, to whom Jesus left His entire Church, didn’t have money to give alms to a poor beggar. Jesus Christ Himself had to send a disciple to catch a fish and get a coin out of its mouth so He could pay His taxes. So how do you figure that Kenneth Copeland, Joel Osteen, or Judas Hagee deserve so much earthly wealth? Are they better servants of Christ than Peter? Or Paul? No pastor of any true Church of Jesus Christ is going to be a rich man, and if you think they are, you’re following the wrong theology, and you’d better get to reading your Bible. Seriously, your salvation depends on it!

There’s a narrow gate somewhere ahead and we should all be seeking it. The fact that Jesus said it was narrow and there are few who will find it should serve as a warning to stay away from megachurches with deceitful false pastors. Most of these guys like to dabble in politics when it suits their purpose, such as encouraging their flocks to support one or another political agenda or foreign policy, and the political winds that blow from these inordinately wealthy congregations end up greatly influencing men like Donald Trump who, if the truth was known, couldn’t care a whit about what the Almighty God might think of them – or their constituents, but there’s gold (and voters) in them temples , so politicians pay attention to the big flocks. Your membership in these covens of evil will count against you, no matter what antichristian tripe you choose to buy into.

The fact that none of the megachurches ever seem to be bothered by the wiles of Satan should also raise a red flag for you. Satan doesn’t wage war against those who already serve him. Look for people who seem to have problems getting their message out. Google Chuck Baldwin and see what he came up against when he decided to leave the mainstream theological circles as he encountered the truth about the Zionists and started preaching such. Also Google Deitrich Bonhoeffer and his tribulations in WWII Germany. For crying out loud, look at what the disciples of Jesus went through. Even secular guys who reveal the truth are attacked by Satan. See what happened to Julian Assange and Ed Snowden. Satan doesn’t like the truth, no matter where it comes from. The big churches with wealthy preachers seem to cruise along with never a problem from Satan. That should tell you all you need to know about those congregations, especially the ones who espouse support for the murdering Zionist state.

Meanwhile, may the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

Following Faith or World Leaders

Wildfires creating dangerous situations never before seen in South Korea. Wildfires in Japan following record blizzards which buried the north of the country. Tornado outbreaks in the southeastern US, wildfires around Los Angeles burning off tree growth and causing flash floods and mudslides. Countless natural destruction, floods in various places in Europe, protests which are become increasingly violent in Turkey and Serbia. China’s getting some major floods, too.

Italy is sitting on the time bomb of Campi Flegri, a super volcano that has the potential to inflict severe devastation on the whole planet. Next door, Greece’s Santorini, the volcano that is thought to have taken out the whole of the Minoan civilization around 1600 BC, appears to be rumbling to life. Scientists say the earth is undergoing a magnetic pole shift, which among other things, causes the planet’s magnetic shield to significantly weaken as the fields undergo reversal and leaves animals (including humans) more vulnerable to cosmic radiation from the sun. The pole flip may cause unimaginable changes to the earth’s crust, and oddly enough we are currently experiencing some 75 erupting volcanoes with more which have been dormant beginning to stir. God only knows the potential that various countries’ military satellites could wreak on the world of men.

Unlike the people of Ninevah when Jonah warned them of God’s impending wrath, the earth’s people show no signs of repenting from their evil ways and getting right with God. So, it’s no surprise, at least to this writer, that the countries who are committing the greatest acts of evil today seem to be the very places that are getting the worst of the “natural” disasters. The nations who support genocide and starvation of children, those who ally themselves with such countries as Israel or the US are being struck. Especially the folks of the US who still support an administration such as this Trump circus of evil. Look at the destruction in the Trump states – the whole midwest and southeast is being destroyed by tornadoes, the Carolinas are burning. It’s just too coincidental to be a coincidence. As I write this, south Texas is preparing for major flooding – a place, I might add where there’s a megachurch that espouses devotion and allegiance to the very country which is murdering and starving innocent children. The Zionist governor and Zionist senators of Texas support genocide also. Nothing could be further from the teachings of Jesus Christ, but we are not even supposed to mention that name in the company of nationals from that place, as we send them money, adulation, and best wishes. Good luck with the rainfall, south Texas. Things do not bode well for the modern-day Babylon, either, once God reveals to us exactly which place it is.

The wrath of God is indeed being, or about to be unleashed on this world of evil and immorality. Especially here in the west where our governments support Israeli genocide. Jesus offers us a way out, and His way is indeed a two-edged sword. We have the evil time here on earth, but a vastly different experience promised in the life to come. We must resign ourselves to stand firmly in the faith regardless of what the evil leaders of Israel, the US, Germany, France, etc., choose to do, even when our faith dictates that we must risk everything (on this earth) to follow Jesus. Yes, it will come to that, in fact, for many of our brothers and sisters in Syria, the Congo, occupied Palestine, and other places, it already has. They are being martyred for their faith in Christ, and it won’t be long until it happens here in the good old land of the brave. Count on it – the Canadian government has already begun locking people up for speaking out against the Synagogue of Satan. Trump has begun deporting people from the US for speaking out against genocide – in fact, such is his adulation and support for the rich Zionists of the world, he has begun killing innocent people in Yemen because of their military supporting the hapless Gazans against the murderous occupying regime. When Netanyahu comes to the US, watch as Trump embarrasses the American public as he grovels before him as a good servant must. Now wonder why the US and our allies like South Korea and Japan are being devastated by tornadoes and wildfires, and why the UK is undergoing civil disobedience and even riots.

Because of his hubristic and evil actions, I can say without doubt that if you support this monster in the white house, you are asking for the wrath of the almighty God upon you and yours. The beast system is upon us, and you are choosing your side now. Choose carefully. Do not for an instant think that I’m saying Biden was any better. This isn’t a Democrat of Republican thing; it’s a good vs evil thing. Jesus does not, nor has He ever advocated the persecution and killing of innocent people, and just because the perpetrators and their supporters have a lot of money, it doesn’t make support for them any less egregious. After seeing what this man has done, and who he supports, if you still sing his praises, you’re going to end up in the same furnaces of hell that he’s going to be cast into, but that’s your choice; choose carefully. The Bible tells us that the antichrist will have many supporters in the world, so if you are so easily persuaded that people of the caliber of this man and many of our other past and present leaders are good and decent men, then I pity you, because folks like you will line up to get their mark. You still don’t (won’t) see their deception.

The world isn’t living in the days of the Old Testament. Since Christ came, God no longer puts human life in the hands of other humans. (Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.) The world is headed for destruction, and everyone can plainly see it coming. There is no excuse for being on the wrong side of things. If you support the evil taking place, you are either racist, you enjoy bloodshed, or you are a greedy person who envies the rich and holds those in contempt who have nothing – all of which qualify you as a person who needs to repent, for no Christian could possibly support the evil that the current US leadership supports. Be ye separate. We are in for a rough ride, folks – hang on! The sky grows dark and Campi Flegri rumbles…

For those who have chosen to serve Jesus, hold fast to your faith – it is all you need to endure the tough times before the end. Jesus, as He promised, will be right there beside you to the end, and moreso after the end of this evil age. Do not allow those who would turn you from your faith to prevail on your sensibilities. That especially applies to mega churches led by false preachers. Evil threatens to frustrate even the most faithful, but do not give up! Right now, we have faith and hope; so hang on to what you have. It’s your eternity that’s at stake. Do not listen to anyone who advocates supporting genocide of innocents or the nations who commit it. This world teeters on the brink of the abyss, and only the children of God who trust Jesus Christ will prevail!

If you have not made the decision to follow Christ, by all means get to know Him. He can guide you through these hard times the world is facing. Without His help though, it will be impossible to gain victory and inherit that eternal life in paradise that He offers – with all your heart, come to Christ! It will be a decision you’ll never regret, but if you reject Him, you’ll spend all of eternity regretting it, and in the most horrific circumstances you could ever imagine. You have the choice today, don’t blow it!

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

The Culmination of Human Tenure at the Door

Have you heard about the super volcano Campi Flegri? If not, it’s located on the west coast of Italy beside the Tyrrhenian Sea, which is a part of the Mediterranean. It’s also quite close to Vesuvius, the volcano that destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum when it erupted back in 79 A.D.

Image result for free pic of vesuvius

There are currently about 75 active volcanoes which are erupting right now, and no one is sure what they will end up contributing to the earth’s climate, but the super volcano Campi Flegri is stirring of late, and if it cuts loose, we will have a lot more to worry about. Scientists warn of a “volcanic winter” from millions of tons of dust and ash in the atmosphere which might result in catastrophic failures of crops, maybe worldwide, for who knows how long. If enough ash gets into the atmosphere, jet engines wouldn’t be able to tolerate it, so there goes that vacation to Rio. On the plus side, military aircraft would be grounded too, so those countries which rely on planes to bomb their enemies would have to come up with some other means of destroying places and murdering people.

The world has gone without a significant natural catastrophe for a long time. I’m talking about something big, like a major asteroid strike or super volcano eruption that could threaten life on the planet. There is a noticeable uptick, however, in wildfires, floods, hailstorms, and tornado outbreaks, but nothing on the scale of a truly global apocalypse like what could be expected from something like Campi Flegri. Maybe, just maybe, God is trying to tell us something. Perhaps the ways of the world have once again become too evil for Him to tolerate. Biblical prophecy says we’ll get there.

The world is being increasingly inured to evil events, such as genocide. The world suffers from an epidemic moral collapse. That’s obviously Satan’s plan, to get the world to a point where we are no longer shocked at pictures of dismembered children or LBGTF parades. Where we see completely destroyed cities, once vibrant centers of human activity, and just ignore them. A point where unspeakable evil is the norm. They tried that in the world before Noah’s flood, and in the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah. If you remember those stories, you’ll remember things didn’t work out so well for the people involved.

The Bible says the next destruction visited on this world will be by fire, and from the looks of things with all these volcanoes going off and the ever-increasing threat of nuclear war, there’s ample opportunity for things to get way out of hand. Until now, we never considered what might be the result of a massive solar flare, which some scientists think might be an infrequent, but regularly occurring event. How about several of those things happening at once?

One scientist I watch thinks the world is going through a phase of magnetic field reversal which will include the planet actually flipping to where the north and south poles will be relocated to different places on the earth. That event would produce giant tsunamis worldwide, and Antarctica and the North Pole would end up near or at the equator. I know it sounds crazy, but he says there’s scientific evidence that it has occurred regularly in the geologic history of the planet.

Whatever God has in store for us, it’s shaping up to be quite the ride. The Bible tells us there will be some rough times, and that we have to get right with Him to end up on the right side of things. The best advice I can give you is to get to know Jesus Christ. He is the only route to salvation from this evil world. Whatever apocalyptic events that happen will be no threat to those who trust in Him. Keep your eye on the big picture and understand that there is another life, a reality and a happiness that far exceeds anything we have known on this old earth. Where in this life we have fear and despair, in the next one, there will be nothing but peace and joy in the presence of the Father and the Lamb.

Whatever might happen, know that at the end you will pass through a door from this world of darkness and despair into a magnificent Kingdom of eternal happiness where there will be no tears or sorrow of any kind. The beloved Savior Jesus Christ will be waiting at that door to welcome you into that magnificent Kingdom where you will be with Him forevermore. We will not, nor will God, even remember the evil events that took place during the time of humanity in this world – unfortunately for them, neither will He remember the evil people who practiced it as they burn in the eternal flames of hell. So don’t waste your time hating on them, God will prevail.

Meanwhile, may the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

Negotiating the Winding Path of Prophecy

I can’t believe this is all happening so fast! Never thought I’d live to see the end coming, but here it is, bearing down on us like a runaway freight train. Right now, Satan is on his game as never before – he knows his time is about up, and he’s lighting this world up with every weapon in his arsenal. If they aren’t pointed at us, we’re doing something wrong.

I’m old now and retired, so if the weather’s not right for outdoor work I sit around watching videos on social media, and I’ve seen a lot of changes lately in the things that are presented. Recently there are lots of shows about end time prophecy with presenters giving differing viewpoints on what’s going on, in fact there are so many interpretations out there right now, if a person isn’t rightfully discerning, it would be easy to get confused. That’s what this post is about, we need to take a deep breath and get back to the fundamentals of our faith. We were told things would come unwound at the end, and if we find ourselves trying to jump on every train that comes by us, we might end up going somewhere we don’t need to be. We need to spend as much time as possible in study and prayer. And loving and encouraging each other while ignoring the whims of the world. Jesus stands ready to help us at every juncture, but we have to be willing to listen to Him. Sometimes that requires swallowing a lot of pride, which probably shouldn’t be there in the first place, and if it is, he’ll (often quite painfully) show us that too. Not because God enjoys putting us through painful experiences, but because we have probably spent too much of our lives pretending we are someone or something different than what we actually are. So, we have to get beyond the pride part to go the right way.

As far as pride goes, you can take this bit of advice from someone who has tasted enough crow to be quite familiar with it’s flavor. I’ve only experienced the downside of allowing pride to blind me to reality because God decided to show me things that I had long ignored, and yes, it was a difficult part of my journey, and things happened that caused me to even question my faith, but all in all it wasn’t a bad thing. Jesus said, [Revelation 3:19]: “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.” and what it says in Proverbs 3:12, “For whom the Lord loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights.” When we come out from under the cloud of chastisement, we are able to realize there was a reason for God allowing us to go through times of testing. And what an honor and a privilege to know He is taking the time to train us!

We are educated in the ways of the Spirit precisely to prepare us for things like these confusing days we are enduring. Jesus gave us our Spiritual education to be able to discern which of the many interpretations of prophecy are worth listening to. For instance, if whatever narrative you encounter does not give glory to Jesus Christ and honor Him, at best it is only superficial, but more often than not, it’s just plain false teaching. Satan has a lot of that out there nowadays. The dragon is at war with a greater ferocity than ever to destroy the woman. Of course, the woman is Jesus’ Church.

The first thing I look for is whether or not the narrator even mentions the name of Jesus. If not, it’s automatically false. Jesus said, [John 14:6]: “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” So how could any message that excludes mention of Jesus be valid? If Jesus is mentioned, does the narrative mention Him in a positive and authoritative light? If not, it is highly suspect. There are many more devices to watch out for, and the Spirit will reveal them to you if you listen to Him. Jesus will not allow you to follow false teachings if your heart is right with Him. [Matthew 5:8]: “Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.” But again, being pure at heart might necessitate engaging in that ego-threatening battle with pride.

Another thing I’m noticing – it’s about the commercials out there nowadays. Have you noticed how they portray the purveyors of their products as being so very decadent, living so seemingly luxurious lifestyles that only the wealthy could entertain any semblance to them? Advertising vacations in luxury ski resorts, or tropical islands; advertising automobiles that only the wealthy could ever afford. People dressed in expensive clothes and sporting accoutrements such as expensive jewelry, and these ads are being watched for the most part by folks who are having a hard time paying their bills. What’s up with these commercials? Are we proles supposed to be eating our hearts out or mortgaging our homes to purchase whatever luxurious products or experiences they are hawking?

The Bible warns us in several places about the threat to our souls from being (or wanting to be) rich and the media world today seems to be telling everyone to desire earthly treasure and luxury. Do not fall into that trap! [James 5:5]; “You have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury; you have fattened your hearts as in a day of slaughter.” [Luke 6:24]: “But woe to you who are rich, For you have received your consolation.” Wealthy people are on a temporary visa – their ownership of wealth disappears when their hearts stop. Their fealty to Satan will no longer avail them once they leave this world. But they rarely stop to consider that. Most of them leastways. The part about the danger of being (or wishing to be) wealthy is just a time-proven tactic of Satan, but it’s being pressed in these end days, so when you hear those false preachers trying to conflate end time prophecy with “prosperity gospel”, just know they are simply and blindly trying to gain more wealth, oblivious to the ever increasing darkness around them.

Brothers and sisters who read these posts, please understand that this writer is dealing with the same problems you are going through, but trusting Jesus Christ as never before, and He’s showing us His faithfulness as never before. We are making our way through a very narrow gate – narrower than any of us realize, but if we stay faithful to Him, He will show us the way home. He wants us to make it, He’s willing to do anything it takes to help us. He’s even died for us, so never allow the enemy to make you feel like you’re alone, Jesus is always there, and He will be there to the end: [Matthew 28:20]: “…lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

The best place to find and study prophecy is in your Bible. The Spirit will interpret what of it you need to understand. There may be a lot more there than what you can digest, but the Lord knows what you need.

And watch out for those AI generated narratives with their fancy proper British-sounding inflections, accents and CGI video backgrounds – if you pay attention, you can even pick up on its limited vocabulary and redundant phraseology. I really don’t think computers have the capability to understand nor disseminate God’s Word, nor especially Bible prophecy. At the very least, only pay attention to known God-fearing people and preachers you trust.

Don’t be dismayed or afraid as we approach the end of this age. there are still yet some difficult times ahead. As you’ve seen before on these posts, if Satan ain’t giving you problems, you’re doing something wrong. Stay strong. Stay faithful. Do not fear the servants of Satan – refusing to fear them is key to defeating them, for they live off fear and trepidation. Be particularly careful of whom you listen to as concerns prophecy and God’s will for you. Trust Jesus Christ and Him only.

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.
