Mankind at the Midnight Hour

 

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; 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. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Luke 21:25-27

                The Bible warns of a great calamity that is falling upon the earth just prior to Jesus’ return. Scripture refers to it as Wormwood in Revelation 8:10 & 11. Mankind’s historical accounts call it Planet X, Nibiru, Herculobus, Red Giant, and numerous other names. I believe that the return of this planet is the sign of the Son of man, and thus marks the end of mankind’s history. Indeed, only Jesus’ return will put a stop to our total destruction;

For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. Matthew 24:21 & 22

                As far as I know, every observatory on earth is currently closed: Covid 19 is the excuse. I say the alleged pandemic was invented as a cover up for Planet X. The devastation this massive planet will bring is God’s judgment upon the earth;

BEHOLD, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof…The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left…The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. Isaiah 24:1, 5, 6, 19 & 20

For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. Luke 21:22

                Planet X is part of the Nemesis system. Leaked information from NASA identifies Nemesis as a failed Brown Dwarf Star. Our solar system intersects with the Nemesis system every so many thousands of years. The devil is well aware of this planetary cycle, the timing of it, and what the scriptures prophesy about it. The Bible says, “Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” –from Revelation 12:12.

The wrath of the devil is truly cruel, but God foretells us of these times so that we will be warned, and prepare accordingly. And so the good news is that God’s “mercy endureth forever,” and that means we will still be able to lay hold of it all throughout the tribulation period. An entire chapter of the Bible, Psalm 136, is dedicated to the concept of God’s mercy enduring forever—and God’s Word is true forever!

Historical records of Planet X go back thousands of years, and appear in many cultures. But scientific verification came in 1979, when NASA launched its Pioneer 10 probe specifically for that purpose. The global elite have decided NOT to tell the general population about it in advance. They continue working to set up their world system, so that after the calamity all will be in place to take over. They have also been preparing enormous underground facilities, mostly in mountainous areas, in which they will try to ride out the devastation of our Planet X encounter;

 “And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?”—Revelation 6:12-17

                In many books, or movies, we often see a countdown until midnight; a time at which something bad will happen. There is a group that keeps such a clock in anticipation of a nuclear World War. Within the past year, they had moved that clock to only 2 minutes before midnight. I don’t know if they have adjusted it further since then.

                But I am not considering only World War III, but the full judgment of God; which comes throughout the book of Revelation. And from my view, I say that the clock has already begun to chime for midnight, and has chimed twice. The planet X and Nemesis system encounter is not a one day event; it takes years. It appears to me that there are 2 primary encounters with this system, according to the scriptures. The first encounter is the lesser of the two, and is found in Revelation 8:7 – 9:19, ending with World War III. But the greatest encounter is found later on, when the vials of God’s wrath are poured out in Revelation chapter 16. Please read this entire chapter with soberness. A wild ride awaits us in the days ahead.

                Right now the world is being distracted by the false pandemic of the Coronavirus. I believe this is likely the white horse mentioned in Revelation 6:2, which is being sent forth to conquer. But even without that, this alleged pandemic is being used to; (1) Cover up the economic collapse; (2) Distract from the build-up toward World War III and; (3) To steer away attention from Planet X. This last point has always been the main one, because it alone guides the necessary timing of globalist plans. Remember, “they” have been certain of Planet X, via a NASA probe, since 1979.

The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. Revelation 8:7

                The earth has entered into a debris field, kind of a meteor belt associated with Planet X. This began in about June of this year, and is set to really show come March of 2021. We have already been witnessing a number of weather anomalies associated with it. But the description given here from Revelation 8:7 could easily accompany the debris field. Meteors could well be described as hail; “fire” would fall as the meteors entered the atmosphere; and when the meteors strike water, the iron dust they contain will make the water appear as blood—one might well think the blood had fallen from above. This initial Planet X encounter will continue, accomplishing the prophecies described throughout chapter 8.

We really ought to think soberly about the “signs of the times” that we are witnessing. And if you claim the name of Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, you ought to believe the Bible—ALL of the Bible. This is the time to get serious about your faith, and prepare. Take the time to be certain that your soul, and the souls of those around you, are in right relationship with God—through Jesus, his Son.

Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. I Corinthians 10:11, 12

 

God is Still in Charge

 

But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire. Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us. I Thessalonians 2:17,18

                Our first big step from America is now accomplished.

                We needed to leave America by November 1^st at latest. We had long ago been led to Africa, but the specific nation we were led to has kept its borders closed. By October 19^th I knew that to leave in time, we had to give up our leading into Botswana. We began looking into what was available in the southern part of Africa.

                It was then on the 21^st we concluded that it was Tanzania. We found a charity work that would accept us, and we took a flight from Philadelphia on October 29^th, arriving early on November 1^st.

                We have been treated well, and our food and housing are provided. Even so, this is not specifically a Christian ministry, and God has assured us that this is only a temporary step; we need to find the Lord’s intended place.

                And so we ask again for your prayers for our direction, and your own wisdom regarding our circumstances. Hopefully the blogs can be renewed, but our internet use here is a challenge.

                God is faithful. Ultimately, we need to trust that He is still in control, even when things don’t seem to make sense. He wants the best for us, and His understanding is infinite (Isaiah 55:8,9). Let us seek to walk in His Spirit, and trust Him especially with that which is unseen.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:1

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:31,32

P.S.: We are currently with Joy Day Care. We are near Mafinga, Iringa District, Tanzania.

 

When the Lord Returns

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. -Revelation 1:7.

          There is much evil in our world today, and it is growing. We would anticipate that such would be the case during these "last days" of history (as we have known it), but that doesn't make them any easier to bear. As Christians we look forward to the day when Jesus Christ will return and bring us home to Himself, that we might escape the further evil calamities which will overtake the earth.

          And so I am seeing an increasing number of videos that are speculating on a soon return of our Lord. Jesus is our hope! It would be wonderful to go home to the Lord sooner rather than later, but the scripture is very clear that the time of our "rapture" will not come until the END of the tribulation period. We need to rest in the truth of God's Word, not the private interpretations of men (II Peter 1:20), nor the fair words of phony teachers that are only trying to make you feel better (II Timothy 4:3, 4).

          This is an important time in history, and personally, I was very comforted to find that God had made things so simple and clear. We may not know an exact day & hour for the return of Christ, but the events of the times should make the season of the end pretty obvious.

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 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. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. -I Thessalonians 5:2-6; Bold type added to emphasize.

          What follows now is the plain testimony of scripture regarding Christ's return;

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. -Matthew 24:29-31. Bold type is added.

But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,  And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. -Mark 13:24-27. Bold type added.

          What I have published in the past is the testimony of scripture, that Jesus will return to gather His own, and then wipe out the armies gathered against Him at Armageddon. It will be on the SAME DAY, and likely the same hour. Jesus took time to say this directly when He was here in the flesh;

 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 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. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. 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. Remember Lot’s wife. Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. 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. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 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. -Luke 17:26-37. Bold type added to emphasize.

In the last few verses Jesus is again describing the "rapture," where one is taken, but another left. His disciples ask Him, "Where, Lord?" meaning, where were they taken to? The answer Jesus gives describes a scene in the air, where carrion birds are gathering over dead bodies-the picture of destruction that will come at Armageddon.

That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. -II Thessalonians 2:2-6. Bold type added to emphasize.

 This scripture in II Thessalonians is the simple formula for knowing the time of the end; there is a falling away from God, and then the Antichrist will be revealed. This person will be obvious to everyone, although non-believers will not see him as evil, but good. After this "son of perdition" is set up, it will be about 31/2 years until the Lord returns. More scripture on the time period later.

12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. -Revelation 16:12-16.

In these verses we see the build-up toward the battle of Armageddon (v.16), the battle of the great day of God Almighty (v.14). But what do we see in verse 15, right in the midst of the conclusion? We see the alert that Jesus is getting ready to return! It is a reminder that when we see the Euphrates being dried up (v.12), it is a preparing for Armageddon, and we know the "rapture" will come immediately before that on the same day. This news will be terrific for the few weary Christians that remain.

And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God... And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war... And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. -Revelation 19:6-9, 11, 14-16.

You may well read the entirety of chapter 19, but here I have shortened it. Once again you can see that this chapter is referring to the "rapture" event, which is the marriage supper of the Lamb, taking place just before Armageddon.

          As for the 31/2 year time period, we are shown it through simultaneous events in Revelation 11:2, 12:14, and 13:5. In Daniel we find it twice in chapter 12 verses 7 & 11. This time period is sometimes called 42 months, and at other times called, "A time, times, and a half." But at the end of Daniel we find a specific number of days mentioned;

 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. -Daniel 12:11, 12.

And so we see here another account of the 31/2 year time period, 1,290 days-it all depends on how you account your number of days in a year. 1,290 would be 43 months of 30 days. What then does it mean by the blessedness of waiting until the 1,335th day? I believe the Bible indicates that there will be a short time at the end when the Beast's kingdom will be in upheaval-this being indicated in Revelation 17:16, when 10 nations are moved against the Beast. As you can see, even the 31/2 year period would have an indefinite number of exact days, and so knowing the precise day of the Lord's return, in advance, would be nearly impossible if you are trying to count numbers. Still, by the time frame of the events given, we will know when it is VERY close! (Like when the Euphrates river is dried up).

          The Bible gives us a definite series of events by which we can well pin down the time of the Lord's return. To believe wrongly about when Jesus returns is not a salvation issue by itself, but it could lead to spiritual disaster. God was plain in telling us what to expect regarding these last days, because He wants us to be prepared. If we write off the teachings He has so mercifully given us, we do so at our own peril. 

          If I believe the Lord returns after the tribulation period, but I am wrong and He comes before it, then that is a gain for me! But if I believe Jesus returns before the tribulation, and then I am wrong, it really hurts me-and has set me up for the deceptions of the Antichrist. If the devil sets up a false 2nd coming of Christ, and at the same time when you are expecting the real Lord to come, will you be able to distinguish the difference? I implore to investigate Project Blue Beam, because I think this is likely to be employed.

          This time in history is very important, and we've got to dig deep, brethren. Hang in there! The Lord will sustain us, and soon it will be time to rest from our labors.

Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. -Luke 6:47, 48.

 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. -Luke 12:35-37.

Sharing the Dreams that have Moved me

But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judæa in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee.  -Matthew 2:22. Bold type added for emphasis.

          God has long used dreams, at times, to direct and inform His people. My wife & I are now seeking to follow the Lord in a direction He began with a dream.I shared vaguely about this leading in the last post, not knowing if it would be the last, and neither do I know if there will be more after this one. But we seek your PRAYER support, that we may fulfill the direction God has led us to in faith. 

          The dream of direction came in April 2013, but there was a similar dream well before that, maybe a year or more, but the theme is the same. In my dream, I was watching what seemed like a television broadcast; it was live news coverage of an ongoing terror attack on a nuclear power plant. The plant had a small, armed defense force, and was firing at the terrorists as they advanced upon the plant with guns, grenades, and rocket launchers. The defenders were doing well, but the waves of attackers seemed unending, and I wondered how long they could hold out.

          Suddenly I was with a couple, good friends, and was trying to warn them about what was coming. Then there was an explosion in the distance, and I said, "See? it's starting already." Then my wife & I were boarding a small boat to get away. There was a woman there with a clipboard that confirmed we were on the list to board. That is where the dream ended. It was sobering to consider, but I felt nothing more.

          But the dream that God used to move me was very intense. A being I perceived to be the Antichrist was leading an army; raging, warring, and destroying as he went. I saw men and tanks with the army, but the Antichrist was up in front, leading them, yet he was destroying independently on his own. In the dream, he was about 10' tall. He soon caught sight of me, and came after me...

          It seemed that I had trouble getting away-I couldn't go fast, as if I were being weighted down, invisibly. I made my way toward the water, heading for a small boat to get away in. I really thought that I was a goner; he was SO close, I expected to get grabbed-but I didn't. Then I thought surely he would grab me as I tried to enter the boat, because I'd have to slow down to do that. The Antichrist would only need a step with one foot in the water to stop me, but he stayed back. I looked closely at him, and saw that he was being very careful not to touch the water! He wouldn't even get as close to it as he could. And so I got away, with the Antichrist raging against me all the way. I woke up with my heart pounding...

          The Lord used this dream to direct me to move overseas in order to escape the Antichrist. When I asked for a confirmation, and direction, before long I found a coin from Morocco at the place where we refill our water. Not exactly what you'd expect to find in Pennsylvania Dutch Country! Yet by this coin I took the direction to be Africa in general, because Morocco itself is a VERY Muslim country-not a good place for a Christian to flee to! Of course, we thought something would happen soon, but that wasn't what God had in mind. As far as the U.S. and the Antichrist, we knew even then the real evil character of this nation, so it wasn't surprising. We've learned a whole lot more since then.

          To say the least, we've had a lot of growing to do, and I'm not saying that there won't always be more needed. But over the years, the Lord has kept our direction solid, but waiting for His time that it should come about. We've watched as the world has edged ever closer to the end, and by the end of last year, 2019, I knew that 2020 would be our last in the U.S., and that we might not make it the entire year. It was the signs we were seeing, such as the approach of Nibiru, and World War III, that indicated it would be a good time to move.

          But we also saw it coming as our debts were winding down, praise the Lord! What I didn't know was coming, was the Coronavirus scam. By the beginning of March, we were able to pay off that last debt. I held on to it, though, because last year they had called me to make a lower offer at this same time of year. They didn't call this time! After 2 weeks I was set to call them, but then the phony virus hustle came upon us here-restrictions began March 16th.What should I do? Before this the Lord had also been calling me to lay down my job, a very secure grocery job, by the end of April! I took a couple weeks to pray, and to research the virus issue. The net result was to still lay down my job, pay off the debt, and prepare to leave-pretty much the same as I had been led to do before, praise God! But now the virus issue put a new emphasis on leaving, due to the restrictions; they are going to get worse in the future,and civilian international air travel may not be possible. We have to be ready to go as the Lord makes a way for us into Africa. We are still looking for contacts in the place we've been led to, and any helpful information on relocation that someone may have. And no, we are not giving the specific country's name, so that the leading will be purely of God.

          Time is of the essence, brethren, and we are being led to make difficult steps. We are sure of God's leading these many years, but for these last 2 steps we need pure faith-the evidence of things unseen (Hebrews 11:1b). We need a buyer for our mobile home, and we need help in moving to Africa. Please pray for us in this move, because there really is no future for us here in America. What God has said will come to pass, and dark times lie ahead. Remember that the Lord was showing us that we should relocate a long time before the crises of our present day. The condition of things now only verifies why we have been led in this way for so long! Please just pray for us, that we may see this leading of faith through till the end. It's been done before, and God is forever the same!

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. -Hebrews 11:6, 7.

It's the End of the Line for America; the time is at Hand

But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. –II Timothy 3:13.

     The scriptures have warned us about the nature of these “last days,” but I have to admit that little could prepare us for actually living through them. It’s like watching video news coverage of an event versus actually living through it, and having to deal with it. I’m really starting to understand the message God gives us in Revelation 14:13;

And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

    And so the time has come for the end of this blog-I do not know if or when it could be taken up again. We need to take this time in preparing to move, while we still can. Let me go over our leading, asking for your prayers, and then sum up the warnings we’ve been laying out before you.

     7 years ago I was given a very strong dream. There was a violent war raging in our country, and one great general that was waging it. He went through the land destroying, and then turned his attention toward me-I was impressed that this was the Antichrist. As I sought to escape him, I was trapped at the sea, and then sought to enter a small boat to flee-but he was right on my heels! I was struggling to enter the boat, and he could have easily reached the boat to grab it. Even just one step into the water and he could have stopped me very well. But then I saw that he wouldn’t go into the water; I observed that he wouldn’t even touch it with his toes! I had just so escaped him, the dream ended, and I awoke with my heart pounding.

     In seeking the Lord for the meaning of this dream, I took it that we were to flee overseas to escape the Antichrist. Revelation 12:14 alludes to “a place in the wilderness” that we may flee to during the time of Antichrist. I asked the Lord to confirm the meaning He’d given, and to further direct. A short time later we found a coin from Morocco where we refill our water! By this I took it that He was pointing us to Africa generally, not Morocco specifically, because that is an extremely Muslim country-we would only be continuing into persecution.

     Of course we thought that our departure would be soon, but that was not in God’s timing (John 7:6). Yet over these 7 years the Lord continued to affirm our direction, and to show us the worsening condition of the world around us. Due to one event in particular, which we saw as being close at hand, by the end of 2019 I knew that this would be our last year here-and that we might not have the entire year. More on this event later. Even by mid-January I was beginning to perceive that God wanted me to lay down my job, and prepare for leaving (especially far deeper prayer). This was 2 months before the Covid-19 restrictions began hitting us here. We did not know anything in advance about how the global power brokers intended to use a virus scare in furthering their plans, although quite a few did know.

     We were all set to pay off our last debt when the fake pandemic was thrust upon us. It made me temporarily reconsider the debt payoff and laying down my job. I took a couple of weeks to look into the whole Coronavirus issue (Proverbs 18:13) and pray about a course of action. The net result was that I was convicted to pay off the last debt, still leave my job, and prepare to leave the country-because much greater lockdowns are likely to come, and soon. There were material preparations that we could have begun  immediately, but the Lord did not give us the “green light” for proceeding until July 18^th.

     The Lord’s hand was manifest in the sale of our home; within 16 hours of posting it on-line, we had a verbal commitment to buy! This should be completed by August’s end, but please hold it up in your prayers until it is finished. But now WE NEED YOUR HELP with relocating into Africa, but not with money. God has directed us as to where we should go, but we have no one to contact. I will not divulge what nation it is, so that the Holy Spirit may direct our way together, and we may be sure. God’s leading for us over the years has been sure, but we need a big miracle here. At the end of the month we’ll be homeless, but the real issue is to leave the country before another lockdown occurs, I KNOW that my God will make a way, but it has not yet come into view. Please help us as you can, brethren, at least certainly by prayers!   

     

     And so after taking the time to look into the alleged Coronavirus pandemic, it has turned out to be a complete fraud, as you've already seen covered in this blog. It's definitely a challenge for people to get a grasp on a deception of this size, but it's true-and the love of money is behind it (I Timothy 6:10). I won't go over it all again, so you can look back at my other blogs, and research it yourself. What I will do is provide some links for your perusal research, listed in no particular order;

-The Doctor is in; Scott Atlas and the Efficacy of Lockdowns, Closings, Social Distancing 

     From the very beginning of this Covid scare, the heavy-handed measures taken by government were far worse than the illness it claimed to be fighting. It really should have been obvious. But even though there is a strong contingent arising for the truth, a terrifying reality has emerged; people have lost their sense of reality, they are dupes, with no sense of reason. In just 4 months time here in the U.S., we have a sizable percentage of Americans that have not only accepted wearing masks as normal, but they will ridicule or curse those who don't! God gave us immune systems to fight off disease, and they work wonderfully. If you don't believe in God, then you should know that we couldn't evolve to need masks-what sense would that make? If we needed them, they'd have evolved with us, or we would have gone extinct long ago. The Coronavirus has been around for 60 years, and our immune systems have dealt with it splendidly. This ought to tell you something; if we don't let our immune system handle the illness, it will never go away. Besides this, a pandemic is about a disease that kills a lot of people-Cornonavirus doesn't. If the actual number of deaths from Covid-19 can be called a pandemic, then we have pandemics during every cold and flu season! We are being lied to, and it is for an agenda, and cover-up.
     It ought to be a common sense issue to see the truth about this virus, but what I am seeing is what the Bible has forecast for our time-STRONG DELUSION.

 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. -II Thessalonians 2:8-12.

     Do you see it in these verses? They did not receive the love of the truth, to be saved! God then sends strong delusion, and they shall be judged. Of all those deceived the churches here stood out like sore thumbs-would they stand up to obey God, rather than men? Of course they wouldn't.

Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. -Acts 5:29.

 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. -Hebrews 10:25.

     And so we have nothing to fear from the Coronavirus itself, unless we keep our immune systems from fighting it, as they have done so well for over 60 years. But there are several things this made up crisis is meant to hide from us, which are; 1) The Financial Collapse; 2) World War III is looming; 3) The Arrival of Nibiru, Planet X. This last one may be the reason for our extended lockdowns. While everyone is focused on Covid-19 and trying to survive government mandates, everything else gets buried-and it is done deliberately.

     The world economy has been set to collapse (sometimes called a reset) for decades now. The alleged Coronavirus pandemic provides a good cover excuse for the collapse, shifting blame.

      Even the Great Depression of 1929 didn't fully end until World War II. It shouldn't be a surprise that the third World War, a planned event, should spring to life from economic death. The negative rhetoric toward China is escalating. Israel keeps hitting Iranian targets, trying to goad them into launching a war. We don't hear much about this from the mainstream media, do we?

     But finally there is Nibiru, a threat we should all prepare for first spiritually, and then physically. Such preparation may involve relocating, or at least stocking up on needed supplies. I've spoken a great deal on Nibiru over the course of this blog. This was the "event" I perceived to be coming, having heard dates noted of February and March of 2021. It now looks to be sooner than that.

     We need to remember that Nibiru, Planet X, is part of the Nemesis star system, which is our Sun's binary twin. Nemesis is a failed brown dwarf star, according to info leaked from NASA. And so this system is said to bring a lot of junk with it; it will be interacting with us for quite some time, and has been affecting the earth since 1999. In other words, although there will be a nearest approach of Nibiru, there really is not just one encounter!

What we are watching for now is debris from this system which will be increasing in volume through the end of the year at least. It has been said from some sources that the falling debris to come is the real reason for a second lockdown, a much more serious lockdown. And this is the reason for us to leave quickly; future opportunities may not exist. This information is mostly coming through IsraeliNewsLive.org and their resources, although TheLibertyMan.com is another. I usually view these on YouTube.com, and I will leave a few links to get you started on the topic.
-Interesting Files on Nibiru-Planet X
-Military Insider Shares his Knowledge of Coming Disaster
-What Government Sources are Saying about Coming Disaster
-Prepare for Impact
-New Source Confirms Incoming Asteroids

     And so it is now being said that the Coronavirus lockdown is also meant to keep us locked down when the meteors are falling. There will be no air travel, and so hopefully this is our brief window to move away from here. The Nibiru system will be a disruption to the world, but the global elite are trying to use it to further the plans they have for world takeover. They are trying to get as much of their system in place as possible ahead of this disaster-and then continue with it afterward.

     It is being estimated that America will especially suffer from the Nibiru encounter, but no area will be entirely safe. Eastern Israel and Syria are thought to be safer, as is Central Africa and parts of Central China. Now is the time to prepare, both spiritually and materially. The government and media will not be giving us any meaningful advanced warnings!

     So please take care of yourselves, and really "hunker down" in prayer. Remember that the Beast will takeover after the coming world war, and then we'll have just over 31/2 years until the Lord returns-I can't wait! Also beware of Project Blue Beam, and it's potential to bring about a phony return of Christ. Please keep us in your prayers, and send us your requests, as well. My telephone # in the U.S. is (717)-617-7938, and I'm in the Eastern time zone.

 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. -Matthew 24:33, 34.

 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. -Luke 21:22.

Open Letter to Government Officials about FACE MASKS

It's high time that we looked at putting away the mandate of wearing masks. Wearing masks could still be recommended, but still left up to the citizens' choice. We allow freedom of choice in plenty of other more dangerous areas, such as alcohol consumption, and we ought to be consistent.

The requirement to wear masks includes a stated exception for anyone with a pre-existing medical condition. By this guideline, everyone meets this condition; we are human beings, and the wearing of masks is detrimental to our health. I do ask that you look at the links provided, which were kept limited for time convenience.

The long-term wearing of masks is harmful, and not helpful. We greatly restrict our oxygen intake, and are forced to breathe in a large part of the carbon dioxide that we exhale. It strains our pulmonary and respiratory systems, and SUPPRESSES the immune system, which opens the door to many illnesses. We also breathe in the fibers of the mask, and bacteria which builds up inside it.

It is coming to light that most hospitals, following CDC directives, have greatly exaggerated Covid-19 deaths and Coronavirus cases. Money is a factor. Having the Coronavirus is not a big deal; it has been around for 60 years. But I invite you to look at such nations as Japan, that never went into a lockdown over this; they had no "pandemic-like" outbreaks, but instead worked through it quite easily and safely (Their press may also be more honest!). This reflects a herd immunity. 

Now consider our own states that were in a lockdown, and came out. These are reporting big spikes in Coronavirus cases-why? I don't necessarily believe all the numbers, but if they did have a sizable increase, it would be understandable. With months spent in lockdown, masks on, public contact limited, their immune systems were suppressed; renewed contacts with others would show a Coronavirus increase. We have to let our immune systems work, or we'll never get by this, no matter how long the lockdowns continue. But there is no problem with people contracting the Coronavirus! Is it any big deal when millions get the cold or flu every year? The concern would be if great numbers of people were dying from this virus, and that isn't happening.

In the lawsuit against the tobacco companies, it was proven that smoking is harmful to your health. Everyone is openly encouraged not to smoke. Would we encourage people to take up smoking if they were in good health, without any pre-existing health problems? It would be obvious that good health should be maintained, and smoking not taken up. The same thing can be said in regard to wearing masks; we want to maintain good health, and refrain from things that cause harm. I dare say that if this forced-mask wearing policy continues, we will end up seeing lawsuits against those that have brought it. I see that there are those who also dislike the policies they've promoted!

The primary benefit of wearing a mask is psychological. Great fear has been sown into many, due to the false accounts of actual danger. To wear a mask then might make some feel as though they are taking positive action for their own protection.Yet this is a false hope, for the mask offers no reliable protection from Coronavirus or any other illness, and leaves them MORE vulnerable to sickness in general (due to suppressed immune system). Perhaps worst of all, it causes separation and distrust between people, which can lead to depression and suicide. This is a real, and growing problem.

The founders of this nation believed in God. They believed that He is our creator, and we were made in His image. I consider it therefore a device of the devil to cover up my Creator's handiwork with a mask. Please work diligently to remove the mandatory requirement of masks, and let it be a choice. Please don't relegate our Constitution to an historical scrapheap.

America is Finally Conquered: Prophecy is being Fulfilled

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 6:2.

          It has finally become official, and is plain for us all to see-America's no longer free. We've been growing toward this end result for a very long time. The first and most important blow came through the establishment of the Federal Reserve at the beginning of 1914. These international bankers then orchestrated the Great Depression of 1929, and put Franklin Roosevelt into office in 1933. It was Roosevelt that instituted the "New Deal," which was the open beginning to socialism in the United States. Since that time, and especially since 9/11/2001, the government's control of our lives has flourished. It has happened very steadily, when at the same time we the people have been blinded by all manner of seductive self-indulgence.

         Over these past 100 years or so, most of the changes toward socialism have been gradual and subtle (Genesis 3:1). We might think of this as a lion, which makes stealthy advances towards its prey. But now it has come to pass, through the scam of a pandemic, that the devil has made his initial attack for bringing down his target. America had to fall, if the world was to be conquered.

 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. -I Peter 5:8,9.

Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. -Revelation 12:12.

          But now, due to the broadcast lie of the Cornonavirus, our nation has strongly embraced totalitarian rule. It is simply amazing to find how much of the population has utterly thrown away the precious freedom which has long been our inheritance. We are now under totalitarian rule. Any protests against the measures we've been subjected to is far, far too little, and too late. For the most part, our federal government has yielded control to the states themselves for handling this alleged crisis. What this has done is to promote the rise of numerous dictators (state governors) around the country; leaders that are acting far outside of the U.S. Constitution, and the power limitations of the offices they were elected to. We have been leading up to this for a long time, but we have mostly been too self-involved to notice. Just look at this article by Paul Craig Roberts from 2011.

          In the book of Revelation, chapter 6, we find what are typically called, "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse"; those listed are the white, red, black, and pale color horses, found in verses 2, 4, 5, and 8 respectively. I have printed Revelation 6:2 as the opening scripture for this article.

We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. -II Peter 1:19, 20.

          The scripture here admonishes us to take good heed to prophecy, but then also cautions us against having private interpretations of such. I remind my brethren of this so that they will watch, pray, and be led by the Holy Spirit when considering prophecy; and that they may not be led astray by what is merely the reasoning of men, even if those individuals mean well. Having given you these cautions, I now continue...
       
          It has been suggested that the white horse of Revelation 6:2 is referring to the present Coronavirus crisis. I think this is probably true. You'll note that the rider of the white horse is given a crown, and that's what the Coronavirus is named for; corona means crown,and it resembles a crown in appearance. The color of white would reflect the typical attire of doctors & scientists with their lab coats. And this phony crisis has certainly gone a long way toward world conquest.

          My opinion of Revelation 6 is that it is a general overview, a preview (like a movie trailer) of the rest of the book of Revelation. The red horse could represent Communism, which brings the war spoken of in 9:13-19. The black horse would be the Antichrist's reign, controlling the world economy. The pale horse would mostly reflect the vials of God's wrath poured out in chapter 16. The devil is in a "hurry-up" mode in his plans for mankind, and so the accounts from Revelation stand to happen fairly quickly. Once the Antichrist is revealed, it will then be a little over 3 1/2 years until the Lord returns.
       
          Life here in America will never go back to normal; people have given in to lies, and have been infected with fear and distrust. The wickedness of this nation would require God's judgment upon it, no matter the form it takes. But God still answers the prayers of His people! The prophecies we have been given will surely come to pass, but we will still see that our God is alive, and active for us individually.

 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. -Psalms 50:15.

          The things that I've shared here may be difficult to come to terms with. It would mean that we are in the time of unprecedented turmoil that the scriptures have warned us about for nearly 2,000 years. But God gives us these warnings that we may be prepared for what is to come. Our sojourn on this sin-laden planet is almost over, and for that I am glad. These days should find us in preparation to meet our God, and in warning others to prepare. We need to set our priorities in order, and our affections on the things of God,  and not the earth (Colossians 3:2). Seek the Lord very deeply in prayer, and don't deny the truth of what is before you. God is near to those that call upon Him in TRUTH, and will hear those cries.

The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them. -Psalm 145:18, 19.

Division + Distraction = Destruction

Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. -Luke 11:17.

All warfare is based on deception.

-Sun Tzu, Chinese philosopher. The name of the game is division. How will America be destroyed? It will fall due to internal strife within the population. As we have done to many other nations, so it is now coming upon us. And yet it is our own leaders in key positions that have brought this about. To bring about a one-world government, there can be no strong nations remaining. This is why America must fall, and why World War III will come.

This process has been going on for decades, and has finally come to the place of an open and active turnover with the election of President Trump. It has been our own leaders, both Republican & Democrat, that have been fueling an internal political strife for 4 years now. This is all a stage act, and both sides are in on it. The division of America took a sharp escalation with the ALLEGED Covid-19 pandemic. Every aspect of fighting this supposed threat was geared toward dividing the populace and setting people against one another. It divides by trying to keep people locked up in their homes, and then imposes social distancing directives along with masks. NO groups can be allowed for any purpose, and citizens are encouraged to report on those not following the government sponsored totalitarian measures (some are even paid to do it!) Inducing FEAR is the undercurrent used to drive us toward their goals.

Yet for all of the evil that the Coronavirus scam brings with it, it is also a great diversion from the greater schemes that are being hatched. This has all been timed to cover-up the global financial collapse, which stands to be far bigger than that of the Great Depression of 1929. It is also a diversion from an immanent war with China. The writing is on the wall for the United States;

Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written. And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians -Daniel 5:24-28.

My brethren in Christ, it is time to dive deeply into prayer, and prepare for the tribulation ahead. But it is also a time to take a firm stand for the truth, for in truth lies the path to our deliverance. For example, it is against science and common sense to think that staying apart from each other and wearing masks could actually be helpful; it is quite to the contrary, these stipulations are destructive. God gave us immune systems by which we overcome illnesses, and it has worked well for thousands of years! To attempt such separation as is being promoted can only hurt that immune system, making us far more susceptible to all manner of sickness. Masks deprive us of essential oxygen, and force us to breathe in our own expelled carbon dioxide. And where would civilization be today if we had all been forced to stay apart? There is a great deception that has taken hold of society as a whole, and it is being furthered by many our elected leaders. We have to stand against this wave of delusion for the sake of ourselves, our loved ones, and in faithfulness to Jesus our Lord.

For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. -II Corinthians 13:8.

God has forecast in His Word that this time would come-we have been warned in advance. This time has been prophesied, and it WILL come, but our Lord Jesus remains the same (Hebrews 13:8). Our prayers will put stumbling blocks before the enemy, and the light of the Lord can still draw men to Himself. We need to take this time seriously, and prepare with soberness.

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. -II Thessalonians 2:9-12.

Discovering the Truth about Covid-19

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of power...It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters." -Daniel Webster

          It isn't easy to accept the fact that we have been lied to by the mainstream media, politicians, and even some medical "experts." On top of that, we then recognize that the deception of the Coronavirus pandemic is global in scope, which makes the notion of a conspiracy of such magnitude even harder to accept. Yet that is indeed what has happened, and it's not the first time-but it's the worst time.
          There is an agenda in all of this, and there is a lot to lose. But there is a simple way to win, and it's not that profound. All we have to do is stand up for the truth. For your convenience,this blog has  assembled a few links in order to shed better light on the false claims that  we are being subjected to.
          First of all, you need to know that the mainstream media is controlled-there isn't any objective journalism. To get a bit more in tune with that notion, I recommend watching OutofShadows.org.
          The Coronavirus has been around about 60 years, and there are 36 types, of which Covid-19 is one. There is nothing notable about this illness to make our response to it so much greater than anything else that we've faced. Even my state representative expressed this in an e-mail;

"When the H1N1 flu was rampant, killed 525,000 people and reached 1.4 billion cases worldwide by 2009. I never recalled a mention of it in any school board meeting around here and no special sessions called to discuss that deadly virus."

          You may also wonder why it's hard to find doctors, politicians, and scientists not speaking out in greater numbers. For this I'd like to especially emphasize Judy Mikovitis and her ordeal.
          There are also quite a few that will point out the "agenda" aspect of all this. Some of them are; 
 A Fairly Obvious Reason to Revolt, Within the Next Few Weeks, Why They are Lying to Us,   Urgent! Full Disclosure from Inside, and This Will Affect Everyone.

          Dr. Sherri Tenpenny is also a great source of insight and Vaxxter.com is one of her sites.  You may also review articles on the use of face masks, social distancing, and more Real Covid Data with the links provided. 

          Hopefully these articles can help you start searching out the truth. It is a sad, and alarming place that our world has come to in 2020. Yet if we will simply stand up for the truth in our own sphere of influence, we can defeat the advance of the goals meant to happen through this Covid-19 agenda. For your own sake, and your neighbors' sakes, choose wisely.

 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. -II Thessalonians 2:11, 12.

Losing the World

By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. -Hebrews 11:7.

          God called Noah and his family to come out of the world. For about 100 years Noah very much epitomized the believers' call to be in the world, but not of it;

 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. -John 17:15, 16.

          Today God is calling us to come out from the world again. It is the same call He has given to us all along, but now with far greater urgency, as we are on the brink of "Noah's 2nd day."

 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. -Matthew 10:39.

 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. -Luke 14:33.

 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, -II Corinthians 6:17.

 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. -I John 2:15-17. Bold type added.

       
          So what does God mean when He says that the world passes away? I think most of the time we regard this in a spiritual sense only-that our souls are eternal, and that all we currently know in this present world will fade away from our memories over time. But when our priorities aren't in proper order, as Christians, we end up living for the world-and the world literally becomes our confidence. I tell you now that not only is the world's passing away a spiritual application for us, but it will soon become a quite literal thing. When Jesus is telling of what will be in the last days, He declares that heaven and earth shall pass away in each account (Matthew 24:35, Mark 13:31, Luke 21:33).

          How are your spiritual preparations going, brethren? Where are your affections? Are they with the things of this world and its values, or are they with God through Jesus Christ? It is not without cause that Jesus tells us that if we want to follow Him we must DENY ourselves, and take up our own crosses daily in order to be His disciples (Matthew 16:24, 25).


 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. -Luke 21:34-36.

          In the next few months there is an event coming upon us which stands to be a catastrophe for the United States, and could be the fulfilling of Revelation 8:7, the first trumpet of seven that are set to sound. I think we have already seen at least the beginning of fulfillment for Revelation 7:1, which speaks of 4 angels holding "the 4 winds" of heaven. This scripture seems to me to prophesy the stopping of the main steering winds which drive the overall weather patterns, rather than a stopping of all wind and breeze. First, I learned that it is the Arctic ice that is a main driver of these steering winds, and this ice has been shrinking greatly. Then I also learned that the Gulf Stream has stopped, and it is the Gulf Stream that fuels the jet stream. Other than that, it may be difficult to find out more from the controlled main stream media.

          But the event coming upon us is said to be that the earth is entering into a debris field in space, starting through about late May and into June, and then escalating. All of this data is coming through Stephen Ben-Nun of IsraeliNewsLive.org. I have been somewhat slow to report on this, wanting to be more certain, rather than to add needlessly to causes for alarm. It does appear now that this prediction is for real. Not every area of the world will be affected the same way, but I grant you that this is all a prediction. The event looks to be certain, but the effects can only be estimated. Please look into this for yourself, but remember that this is being kept secret from the general public. I believe that this is all a part of the Nemesis-Nibiru system that we are encountering, and is part of God's judgment.

          It is amazing to me how very few professing Christians recognize that the world we have known will come to an end, even though this comes straight from the Bible. The scriptures have told us repeatedly to separate from the world and its affections, but we usually only emphasize the more spiritual aspects of this important truth. Let's review this by looking at a few relevant verses;

 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls  Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. -Matthew 13:45,46.

 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. -John 12:25.

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. -Colossians 3:1-3.

 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. -James 4:4.

          But now it is time for us to face the physical end of the world, and I am quite discouraged by what I've seen in the professing "church" over the last few decades. Even so, I think this can be a great time for each believer to refresh and solidify their relationship with God through Jesus Christ. It has been said that it took 3 days for God to lead Israel out of Egypt, but it took 40 years to get Egypt out of the children of Israel (in the wilderness). As we are now approaching the physical end of the world, let's take this time to cast out the world from our hearts and minds; let's prepare to meet the Lord, as the following scripture instructs us to do;

 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. -Luke 12:33-37.

          Unfortunately, Jesus tells that the prevailing attitude in the world at this time will be one of unpreparedness, reflecting an unhealthy love for the world, with confidence in it;

And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 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. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. -Luke 17:26-30.

          If anyone has told you that the time of the end is unknowable, that is a lie, whether or not it was deliberate on their part. Have you heard it said that the day of the Lord will be as a thief in the night? God doesn't want that to be the case for His people;

 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 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. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. -I Thessalonians 5:2-6. Bold type added for emphasis.

If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. -Revelation 3:3B. Bold type added for emphasis.

 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. -Matthew 24:32-34. Bold type added for emphasis.

          God gives us warnings from His Word so that we will have time to prepare. Things can change very suddenly. Please don't let a preoccupation with the world bring you into spiritual ruin. The world that we have known will end, you can count on it-God's Word has declared it.

Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word. But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. -Luke 10:38-42.

 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. -Hebrews 1:10-12. 

Seek to Focus on Faith, and not Fear

NOW faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen...But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. -Hebrews 11:1, 6.

          We can see that the end of life as we have known it is at hand, and there is a lot to be discouraged about. Yet even in light of the trouble at hand, and the greater trouble that lies ahead, our GOD IS STILL THE SAME! He is still faithful, and full of might. We still have ample time to seek Him, and to reveal His hand of outreach to an unsaved world. The scripture tells us that even Noah did this, and called him a "preacher of righteousness" in II Peter 2:5. Right now we ought to emulate Noah in both faith, and works.

 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. -Hebrews 11:7.

          A prime focus of this blog is to keep you alerted to Satan's advances in the scheme to bring about a world government under the rule of the Antichrist. There are many aspects to this plan, and they are very evil (although some do not appear that way). This doesn't mean that they will all be fulfilled in the way that the devil desires! Our God puts limits on what Satan is allowed to do, and our believing prayers will cause him yet to stumble more! God wants us to be aware of the evil around us, but not to be overcome by it. The purpose of this particular article is to help you to focus on faith instead of the fear which seems to be so prevalent.To "shore up" our faith we'll look at some scriptures, and a personal example God brought to my mind.

 When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. - Isaiah 59:19b. This is a great promise to claim in the midst of this flood of evil.

 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. -I Corinthians 10:13. Don't believe Satan's lie that your situation is unique to you; others have gone through it as well! And God won't allow more to come upon you than He will enable you to bear.

 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. -II Kings 6:15-17. Pray that we receive this kind of faith-based vision! God is invisible by nature, but His presence is tangible for those who believe.

          One account that has encouraged me greatly is found in the book of Acts, chapter 12, primarily the first 19 verses. This is about the deliverance of Peter from Herod. Herod had killed the Apostle James, and he intended to kill Peter also. Peter was miraculously delivered from this death by an angel, but what had made the difference? The answer to that question is found in verse 5;

Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. Bold type added to emphasize.

It was the prayers of the church that brought the victory! God's answer was so miraculous that the believers had trouble accepting it (verses 14 & 15). We must earnestly seek to pray much, much more. Please read this entire account-the praying believers were stunned that God had actually brought Peter to their door!
          Again, it's easy to get discouraged for the times we are living in. The Word of God doesn't sugar-coat it, but instead tries to warn us about it in advance, and in TRUTH. The scriptures that God provides for us contain not only warnings of the bad, but encouragements of the good;

AND at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. -Daniel 12:1 & 2.

The underlining and bold type have been added for emphasis. God is at once warning us of a time of great trouble, but also of the Christian's deliverance. It may cost us our fleshly lives, but we will end up eternally safe with our God. Please see Isaiah 57:1 & 2, Revelation 12:11, and 14:13.
          And while we may see the terrible nature of these days, we should not be discouraged from prayer; for God has limited the activities of Satan (Job 1:9-12), and also limited his knowledge. Even the sin-atoning death and resurrection of Jesus himself was hidden to the devil and his lackeys;

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. -I Corinthians 2:7 & 8.

          We will even find encouragement to continue in our Christian fight of faith right in the book of Revelation itself. We know that a remnant of believers will be here until the very end; when God raptures the Church and brings judgment at Armageddon on the same day (Luke 17:29 & 30, Revelation 19:7-21). There is a promised "place in the wilderness" for Christians to flee to found in Revelation 12:14. Please also read the note of timely encouragement in Revelation 16:15, as the 2nd coming of Jesus draws near. And in Revelation 18:4 God is calling to HIS people to come out from mystery Babylon (Likely the United States) before it is judged. If God is calling to us in this way, brethren, at this time in 18:4, then we can rest assured that He will never leave us or forsake us.

 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. -Romans 8:38 & 39.

          As we have already looked at in recent blogs, this Coronavirus scare is a false-flag event. The sickness itself is nothing, but the destructive counter-measures of the governments are sobering. This is a sign that there is a fast approaching storm which will engulf the world. But even now, along with this current troubling circumstance, there is opportunity for good. This Covid-19 clampdown could have been much worse. And with the unjust restrictions that have been forced upon us, we now have time; time which we might not have taken otherwise. Time to PRAY. Time to study the BIBLE. Time to make certain that we and our loved ones are ready to MEET GOD. And it is a great time to do your own research to uncover the TRUTH about Covid-19, and what's really been going on in the world.
       
          Years ago I was working part-time at a nearby department store, about a half mile from my home. On this particular day I finished at 1 p.m., and began walking home. It was a hot summer day, and there was a chance of thunder storms in the forecast. Right from the start of my walk I was hearing thunder, coming from the west, but I saw nothing-the sky was clear and sunny.
          But there was no mistaking what I was hearing. By the time I had gotten home, the thunder had grown louder, and there was a small area of dark clouds on the horizon (We live on a hill, so there is a good view of approaching weather). Because I was hearing such profound thunder, yet not seeing much, it occurred to me that this might be a very strong and dangerous storm. And so upon arriving home, I prayed prayers of protection for us, and for the mobile home park we are in.
          When the storm finally overtook us, we had about 40 minutes of a very nice rain. There was no severe wind, lightning, or even thunder. To the outward appearance, there hadn't been anything to worry about, right? But we need to remember that when we pray, things can be happening that we may never be aware of. God let me see it this time, for the encouragement of future prayer...
          The next day we received word on the damage. The local paper said that there was an estimated $2 million damage from the storm in our county. One woman had heard a crash in her yard, and when she went outside to investigate, she stepped on fallen electrical wires, and was killed. At my wife's workplace, a tree had fallen on the home of a co-worker. Another man at her work said that over 100 trees had been knocked down on his property. All of this was sobering information.
       
 We need to start praying about the time we are in, and what awaits us in the near future. Even if this present crisis seems to pass by us with little damage, it is a forewarning of greater troubles ahead; troubles which the Bible assures us will come. Yet as sure as these troubles are, just as certain are the promises that God has given us to rest on. He is always the same, praise God!
          And so when you see the storm in the distance that threatens to overtake us, close your eyes in prayer, and catch sight of Him whom the wind and sea obey. Remember His faithfulness, and His mercy. He may well choose us in the furnace of affliction (Isaiah 48:10), but He will be with us in that trial; Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego bear witness for us in Daniel chapter 3. After having these three cast into that fiery furnace, King Nebuchadnezzar testified that he saw a 4th man in the fire with them, and His appearance was like the Son of God.

 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. -I Peter 5:8-10.

Repaying Our Debt; the Consequence of Sin

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.  For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. -Romans 8:12, 13.
          When I was led to share this article about our debt, I had no idea that this was actually the 40th day since our final debt was paid. It was a confirmation to share this article now; it is a type of thank offering for God's mercy and provision.

 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross. -Colossians 2:14.

          Sometimes there are consequences for our sins; even if we have already genuinely repented, and have received forgiveness. We can see this clearly in examples such as King David's fall with Bathsheba, found in II Samuel 11 & 12. I know this is an extreme example, and fairly obvious. But in this "age of grace" it isn't always easy yo see or accept that we may yet have to face consequences after God has forgiven us. This is NOT an atoning for our sin, for only Jesus provides that. What this amounts to is a chastening. And even though this can be a great grief to us, God is treating us as His own children.

 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons... Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. -Hebrews 12:5-8, 11.

          We began taking serious debt about 11 years ago, although our home mortgage was then a big debt already in place. It took me a long time to realize how I had failed God in this regard. There were some times, when I thought I had understood, and repented, but my actions testified against it. From the time that I first thought I understood what God was showing me about debt, until the time that I REALLY understood, was about 28 months! God had led me to the study of George Mueller of Bristol, a renowned saint from the 1800's (1805-1898). Through this I had come to believe that taking debt was a sin, as he did. Yet even after I had accepted this truth, I took even more debt, to make payments on the other debts. How could I have been so blind as not to see this hypocrisy? A test would shortly overtake us, but let me first sidetrack a bit...
          In America, debt is more or less expected, and is seldom thought of as wrong. Please don't take this blog to be a condemnation of yourself or any other person. You must work this out between God and yourself. But debt does hurt us as Christians, and we ought to strive to avoid it. George Mueller's conviction rested on Romans 13:8; (bold type added)

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

          It really is a common sense thing. I came to put a lot of weight on the following verse;

 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. -Proverbs 22:7. Again, bold type was added for emphasis.

          Jesus is our savior, and is meant to be our LORD, as well! Borrowing money puts us in bondage and makes us servants to men, and handicaps our potential service to God. But now I'll go back to the main story...

          Within 3 months of realizing my own hypocrisy, the test came; our water heater gave out; we had no money to afford a repair, or replacement. Several options were available, but each one involved taking some debt. This was a time for faith. If debt was a sin, and I was indeed still so sorry for it, we had to trust that God would make a way somehow, without taking more-but there was no help in sight to the natural eye.
          God helped us in temporarily getting by with things as they were; we employed towels, a fan, and turning the water supply on and off. To save up the money needed would take at least 2 months. So we "hunkered down" in prayer, and rested on God's Word of promise in Matthew 6:6;

 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 
       
          How would God move? Who would He send to help us? We expected to get unforeseen money, or maybe to see a Christian plumber moved to help us. No one ever came. But after a few days, some unexpected things started happening. The towel was drying up; the puddle on the floor was no longer re-forming. After 3 days, my wife said, "I think God has healed our water heater." And how right she was! It took me 3 more days of cautious watching, but we then resumed the normal use of our water, including use of the washer.
          We had determined that a new water heater was the real need. The Lord told me that He had indeed healed the unit, and He would uphold it for use until we could afford another one. It was to be just like the cruse of oil, and barrel of meal was for the widow who cared for Elijah, as found in the book of I Kings 17:14. Why did God answer this way? He could have sent someone, but I think it was just to encourage a purer trust in Him; for God cannot be limited by His creation. The water heater worked normally for 22 more months. It then began leaking again, but it was very manageable, and within 2 weeks we could afford the replacement.
          My wife recently reminded me that when we were deep in debt I had promised to write a song in thanks when God had delivered us. I'm sure she's right, but I don't specifically recall that. I know that I was expecting a big and sudden deliverance, but that wasn't what God's had in mind. I had made the commitment of a song because I wanted to be sure to adequately thank and praise Him when the time came. But now, in place of a song, I want to honor the Lord through a brief sharing of the account. Songs are rather limited in the scope of their coverage. This way the account should be deeper and more edifying, but only by God's blessing. I believe He moved me to do things this way.
          Instead of granting us a pile of money, God tutored us as His stewards, and had us kind of work it off over time. We didn't work ourselves into oblivion, either, keeping adequate time for our walk in Christ, and meeting the needs for our spiritual growth. The real press for debt payoff started about September 2015, and finished 3/30 of this year. We prioritized the debt payoff according to scripture;

 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. -Romans 12:17.
          
          God doesn't want us to take debt, but if we have, we must repay it, as a testimony for Christ.
          Although we didn't receive a great sum of money that would meet all of our debt at once, we certainly experienced added monetary blessings which were well above what our "sight" would tell us to expect. We would accrue the amount needed for a debt, but then to fully pay it off, our finances could get quite low. But God would soon replenish us. This can be a challenge, when our visible circumstances seem to tell us it would be better to hold on to the money (still making a smaller payment to get by) than to use it up in a much larger payoff.
          This happened with our last debt. Just when we were about to pay it off, this Covid-19 debacle ensued. Finances would be tough, right? Shouldn't we just keep our comfortable $100 per month payment, and hold the larger amount until the economy was more secure? This matter caused an almost 3 week delay for us, but in the end the lord moved me to take care of it quickly; it was the right thing to do, and we rested on God's promise from Matthew 6:33;

 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

          But life has other expenses along the way, and not just the debs to payoff. We saw such expenses as a cracked tooth ($1,000), a new roof ($4,200), a new water softener system ($2,000), a kitchen floor ($1,000), a 2nd vehicle ($2,000), and a home heating system ($6,800). All of these things were paid in full without debt along the way to paying our other debts. There are other lesser expenses as well, such as a new computer, tires for the car, new work shoes, a new sofa, and various other smaller needs that arise occasionally. I am just amazed at what the Lord has provided. Oh, what mercy!
          When we were taking the debt, we meant to serve the Lord with our various objectives-but it was a prideful presumption that led us to this, and we didn't understand the position of God's Word regarding debt. God needed to teach us about this. We came into a very poor state, and at times we went with little or no food, and nearly lost our home. In the end, we needed to borrow money (no interest) from a relative to stay afloat. It was a praise that God had moved this man in advance with respect to our request.
          During this time of poverty, God used it to increase our faith, and to teach us how to be content with adequate provision over material wealth;

 But godliness with contentment is great gain.  For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. -I Timothy 6:6-8.

          We were forgiven for our sins regarding debt quite a while ago, but God still had to teach us. It is easy, perhaps, for a Christian to be shown his wrongdoing-and then to ask quickly for forgiveness. We know intellectually that this is the correct course. But are we REALLY sorry? Do we have any understanding of why our actions were wrong, or the consequences they can bring? There are good reasons why the Lord allows or disallows certain actions, and it really is for our good. The path He has led us on has caused me to truly understand the ungodly bondage debt can cause. Once we were in debt to men, we were truly inhibited as to what service the Lord might have used us for.
          It grieves me incredibly that I have so grieved my beloved savior by my actions regarding the taking of debt. Yet God has promised to work all things for our good (Romans 8:28), and today I can declare with confidence that I wouldn't trade this time for anything, in light of all the growth the Lord has brought about through it. I know Him a lot better today because of the poverty this situation caused than I ever could have with abundant riches. We are the richer for it, and that will be eternal.

 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. -Philippians 3:12-14.
