  1. Throughout the past two millennia, there have been constant speculations over the biblical End Times. Scriptures had been interpreted and reinterpreted, according to the zeitgeist of the day, in an effort to identify events leading up to humanity’s concluding phase. Many observers in times past, who were witnesses to countless atrocities and lawlessness during their lives, had believed that the end was nigh. Even Jesus’ disciples, the apostle Paul, and the early churches were not immune from these speculations. There were two ancient red lines that were not crossed until recently: https://drmathewmaavak.substack.com/p/two-cardinal-signs-of-the-end-times
  2. I will endeavor to explain why Prophecy is so hard to grasp, as intended by God, He wants to be pursued by us, thus he leaves bread crumbs and if we pursue we get more bread crumbs until we understand what He wants us to understand. Jesus spoke to the disciples in parables for this very reason, he wanted to teach them how to be keen and sharp, to see what others could not see. An overview of God's plan is simplistic, reach mankind, and convert them from lovers of sin, to lovers of the ways of God. In so doing God chose one man to bless all nations through, by faith alone, since we are not worthy of God's forgiveness, therefore we have to learn to lean on His righteousness, not ours, since we have none. So, with Abraham God put a plan in motion, part of that plan was to build faith, and thus prophecy should do just that, a God who foreknows all must be the true God !! He also built faith with actions like in Egypt etc. God used Israel to birth the Messiah, even though they had sinned against God and turned unto serving devils and loved wickedness, like all the world did. Nevertheless God knew the Lamb Jesus had to be birthed (the man....really male-child). Then God turned to the Bride of Christ to spread the Gospel unto the Gentiles during the Pax Romanus !! This set the Western Civilizations free from Satan's bondages and brought forth a Renaissance Age of refinement, which we are now running away from by rejecting the very God who freed us from Satan's bondage but that is another story unto itself. God will use us the Church/Bride to spread the gospel until the last 7 years is upon us, which has the judgment of all evil mankind in the midst of the 70th week. God uses this week to bring Israel unto repentance (Zech. 13:8-9). Then as Jesus returns, he sets up the promised Kingdom Age for 1000 years amongst his Jewish brothers. God will then juxtapose Jesus' reign of 1000 years against Satan's reign of 6000 years, thereby condemning him to eternal damnation. Now on to what the Book of Revelation, as written by God says, then what it means in modern lingo as I put that forth in the First Reply which I will only reserve at first. Firstly, God gives us prophecy to help build our faith, secondly, He wants to tell us what is going to go down in a way only we, His servants can understand it. He desires to "draw us in unto Him", not knock us over the head with facts per se. Satan knows & believes in God, but he loves evil over God, so knowing/believing in God and having faith in God in all things, and doing what is right are two fundamentally different things indeed. I am only going to do the book of Revelation here because in that one book God explains all things end times, it is what all the other prophecy books were pointing unto anyway, but God gave it unto us in coded fashion, using the old testament in 276 out of 404 verses to encode His message unto those that know His holy word. The Revelation of Jesus Christ, given unto him by God the Father, to give unto his Servant John God is revealing Jesus unto the whole world, says this is a blessing to anyone who reads it, but in code God uncloaks a mystery for the ages in this book. He firstly gives us the Eternal Jesus in all of his Glory in Rev. 1. John is told to write unto the 7 churches in Asia Minor, the number 7 is divine completion, so there is a reason God picked 7 churches here. God also chose 7 Spirits before the throne to tell them his divine nature is omnipotent. God tells us Jesus blood made us kings and priests in vs. 6. He is called the Alpha and Omega in vs. 8, more symbolic code, he's the first and last. John then says I am your (7 churches) brother in "tribulation" meaning he understood that all time was tribulation on this earth. The rest of the chapter is symbolism, Jesus is seen amongst the 7 golden candlesticks, he was seen as the Son of man, with a garment to his feet, and a golden girdle, with hair as white as snow, his eyes as flame, his feet like unto brass on fire, his voice as many waters, in his right hand 7 stars, a two edged sword came out of his mouth, he shown like Sunlight in the eyes. He then tells John to write unto the 7 churches the things he has seen (Jesus in his glory) the things which are (church age) and the things which will be hereafter (70th week events which is the majority of the book of Revelation). In vs. 20 the 7 stars and 7 candlesticks are explained, the 7 stars are the 7 messengers of the churches (I think their preachers not Angels) and the 7 candlesticks are the 7 churches. This first chapter shows the book of Revelation is going to be chock full of symbolism, yet people do not seem to grasp this in full. In Rev. chapters 2 & 3 God is teaching the church what their weak points and strong points are, they are given clues that show them what they will inherit in heaven, once they overcome, verses 2:10 (crowns) 3:5 (white robes) and 3:21 (sitting at God's throne) show these gifts will only be won once a Christian dies and goes to heaven (Rev. 4:4) so Rev. 2 & 3 is represented by the "Things which are". Everything after the things which are is the 70th week, or the "hereafter", which means after the church age. Rev. 4 & 5 is the church in heaven, raptured in vs. 1 by Jesus who blows the last trump which symbolizes the ending of the harvest, his voice sounds as many waters. In vs. 4 we get coded info that tells us this has to be the pre trib raptured church. In chapter 5 we see a sealed scroll introduced which implies the judgments of God are sealed (7 equals divine completion) up until all 7 have been taken off, and only the worthy lamb can unseal these sealed judgments. In verses 9 & 10 we see the redeemed of God called kings & priests, and they came from all nations, so this is the church in heaven singing the song Worthy is the Lamb. Rev. 6 and 7 kind of mesh as one, in symbiotic way. Jesus starts opening the 7 seals (only 6 in Rev. 6) and as he does so he reveals what the coming 42 months of God's wrath will bring, but only once the 7th seals has been taken off the scroll of judgments (7 trumps). The first 5 seals are complete symbolism, but the message of course is not, in the first 5 seals Jesus foretells us what the coming Anti-Christs rule will be like over this 42 month period in all 5 seals, he will 1.) Conquer 2.) Bring wars by taking away his fake peace 3.) His wars will bring great famine 4.) His 42 month rule will bring sickness, death and the grave (Hades) and finally he will 5.) Kill the Gentile converts which he can get at (he can not get at the Jewish converts who flee into the wilderness/Petra. In seal #6 we get Jesus foretelling of God's soon to come wrath which will start in Rev. 8, but before God can not allow this until He makes sure that the 1/3 (Zech. 13:8) Jews who will repent just before the DOTL (Zech. 13:8-9 and 14:1) have repented (been sealed) and protected in the Petra/Bozrah area. In chapter 7 we see just this, the 144,000 is a simple code telling us they are all Israel who repent and that they must flee unto the Petra & Bozrah safe zone before God will allow His wrath to fall. The text explains this in full, God tells the angels to hold up the four winds (wrath or judgment) until He has sealed the "144,000" meaning saved and protected them, the fulness x completeness code. finally we see the pre trib raptured church in verses 9-16 who came out of great/mega tribulation. The Wrath of God Falls on Mankind In chapter 8 we see the 7th sealed opened up, we see silence in heaven for "30 minutes", most do not get why, buts its reverence unto the death judgment is about to bring, the angels are not joying in this sad event, but alas justice has to prevail. The reason the 7th seal is over in Rev. 8 should be obvious, but people refuse to open their eyes and in many cases and still cling to the whole "Seals are a part of God's Wrath" theory. Wax signet seals by nature seal messages until all the seals are taken off. Once the 7th Seal is taken off (loosed) the judgment of God comes, Trump #1 is an asteroid breaking apart, setting trees ablaze in 1/3 of the world, Trump #2 is the impact of this asteroid, Trump #3 is a fallout of some sort that poisons the fresh waters in this "1/3 area" (I see at as the New World), Trump #4 is the sun & moon going dark or dimming by 1/3 because all the smoke filters out the suns light, fulfilling both Joel 2:31 and the 6th seal prophesies. So, in essence the first four Trumps are one asteroid event. In vs. 13 we are told very clearly that the three trumps yet to sound are the three woes to come. Rev. 9 continues God's wrath, we see the demons locked in the bottomless pit released, they torture men for 5 months, my guess is this is the people who have yet to receive Jesus nor the mark of the beast, their job is to force decisions, stand ye this day on this side or on that side. Then immediately following this we see 200 million angelic beings, which is really just the whole host of heaven, two Myriads or 100 million equals completeness in general. These angels kill 1/3 of all men who have take the mark of the beast, thus woes #1 and #2 go hand in hand. Now we must move to Rev. 16 to see the final or 3rd woe. I include Rev. 15 with Rev. 16 because the angels ready the 7 Vials to be poured out in Rev. 15, then they are poured out in Rev. 16. Looking back at Rev. 8 that all happens in one chapter, the Trumps were readied to be sounded by the angels, then the angels blew them in the same chapter. Rev. 15& 16 finishes off God's wrath. The angels ready the Vials to be poured out in ch. 15, then in ch. 16 we see the 7 Vials poured out, this finishes off God's wrath, which all emits from the 7 Trumps. This is the 3rd woe, just as Rev. 8:13 says. In the 6th Vial I see this river Euphrates drying up as being a metaphor for God's plagues drying up or being halted for a time in order to entice the cowards out of their hiding places and caves, they see the Two-witnesses die, then the plagues stop, suddenly they are enticed by the Three Frog Spirits, Satan the Dragon, the Anti-Christ and False Prophet, to go after the remaining Jews, and they try to kill them all off, hoping there will thus be no more "Two-witnesses" type judgment. Then as they all move in unison to Armageddon, Jesus shows up in Rev. 16:19, the 7th Vial, and wipes them off the face of the earth in a show of force. This ends God's wrath. In vs. 19 God calls those Jesus kills off Babylon the Great. The Parenthetical Citation Chapters Those understanding the book of Revelation understands that is not in chronological order, nor can it be. We see a divergence starting in chapter 10, thereof course were no chapters nor verses in the bible, so there was no intention of continuity, just like Daniel, its not in chronological order. With each chapter henceforth I will endeavor to explain when each chapter starts on the 70th weeks 7 year timeline of days, ranging from day 1 to the 1260 middle of the week to the day 2520 second coming of Jesus, and when they end also. Rev. 10 used to be a chapter I would just skip over, to big a mystery unto me, I though everything in it was sealed up (7 Thunders), until I understood that all of God's wrath emits from the 7 Trumps. Here is my best "guess" at what's going on here, I think John gets this interaction before he gets the chapters 4, 5 and 6 interactions, its an "overview" of God's soon to come wrath, John is told what it all means by the 7 thunders, but then told its sealed up, do not write what you heard, but instead, here you go, write these things down in codes, metaphors and symbolism !! He's also told when the 7th Thunder (Trump) sounds the mystery will be over, and that time will be no more [as we know it]. In mt mind that means Jesus will be reigning after the 7th Trump sounds. John is then told to eat the little book, and fids it both bitter and sweet, I think this points to judgment, billions of humans must be killed, that is sad (bitter) but judgment will bring to pass Jesus ruling on earth, and eventually a New Heaven and New Earth, and tat will indeed be sweet. Amen. I think this vision starts just after John gets the vision of Jesus in all his eternal glory and sees the church age chapters. Rev. 11 is of course the Two-witnesses chapter, we are told in a coded manner who God has sent them back unto in verses 1-3, the Jews only is whom they have to reach. We know they are sent back before the DOTL, which is the 1260 middle of the week event, so I see them as the 1335 event, which happens 1335 days before the second coming ends al of these wonders as Dan. 12 says. So, they must show up 75 days before the beast conquers Israel/Jerusalem and they also must die 75 days before the beast dies, and they do, they die at the 2nd woe whilst the beast dies at the 7th Vial. When the 7th Trump is sounded in Rev. 11, that happens after they die, but as with all of the other plagues, the Two-witnesses prayed the plagues down. So, the chapter runs 1335 days, but the Two-witnesses only live for 1260 days. Rev. 12 is rather easy as per unto the timeline. The dragon (Satan) chases the woman (Israel) for 1260 days. We get a coded algorithm in verses 1-5 to tell us who the players are. Satan, Israel and Jesus. This is done so Rome would not see letters claiming Israel was going to rule the whole world, its thus encoded to protect the church of the 1st and 2nd centuries. Basically Satan will try to kill off all the Jews as he did in WW2, but because of the Two-witnesses showing up 75 days before he's allowed to go forth conquering, we know that 1/3 of Israel will repent then flee to the Petra/Bozrah area at the 1290 AoD warning sign, which happens 30 days before the Anti-Christ is allowed to go forth conquering. The Remnant can not be Jews, they can only be the gentile church. This chapter starts at the 1260, ends at 2520. Rev. 13 is the Anti-Christ becoming the beast, thus he arises out of the sea where the beast has been dormant since Rome received the mortal wound. The dead beast lives again when he arises from the Mediterranean sea. He will rule over Israel and the Mediterranean sea region for 1260 days starting on day 1261, lasting until Jesus slays him on day 2520. Rev. 14 is the harvest chapter, God uses the three harvest feasts to explain the end time harvesting of souls and their sequences. We see the 144,000 (Israel/Wheat) who will rule from Jerusalem with Jesus for 1000 years on the holy mt. awaiting Jesus. but that's just prose, w all know they are in the Bozrah area, but they rule from Jerusalem so are shown as such. In verses 17-20 we see the wicked grapes (tares) who grow with the wheat (Israel) til "the very end". Meanwhile, in vs. 14 we see a flashback, like in a movie, to the pre trib rapture pf the church, we are the "barley harvest" which always comes first and does not need to be crushed before it can be harvested and sifted. This chapter of course rune the full 7 years because of the pre trib rapture. Rev. 17 is God judging false religion (Harlotry). This is one side of a two sided coin, false religion in Rev. 17 and false governance in Rev. 18 but lets stay here for now, we are given a coded understanding of who the harlot is, not in four descriptors as many think, but in three instead, the Mystery portion is referring unto the secret God is only now revealing, it was never Mystery Babylon, it was MYSTERY 1.) Babylon the Great ( the city most noted for false religion ) 2.) Mother of Harlots ( the original harlotry was false religion ) 3.) Abominations of the earth ( God hates all false religion ) So, God will use the Anti-Christ and his 10 (E.U.) kings to judge the harlot, false religions. Since the Anti-Christ is a Antiochus Epiphanes type who thinks he is God, he will of course allow no other religions in his kingdom, thus he will kill of the harlot religions, thus under his rule in the E.U. and Mediterranean Sea Region Islam will not be allowed, neither will Buddhism, Hinduism nor any religion. Of course he also will martyr the gentiles who turned to Christ and the Jews who he can get at. This of course starts at the 1260 ends on day 2520. Rev. 18 is God judging Babylon (whole world) in a series of plagues. God in vs. 2 states Babylon has become the dwelling place of devils, of course it has, Satan and his demons were cast down and Apollyon and his demons were freed from the pit. In vs. 4 we see God calling His people (Israel) to come out of her/Babylon (world) or else they will receive of her plagues. The rest of the chapter is prose describing the whole worlds judgment and how these merchants so loved her perversions and wealth, but they did it by not valuing the things of God. In verses 8 and 10 it states her judgment will come in one day and in one hour, with both meaning 1260 days, the DOTL lasts 1260 days and in Rev. 17:12 we see the 10 kings rule one hour with the beast, so that means 42 months also. Rev. 19 like Rev. 14 covers the full 7 years of the 70th week. We seethe bride of Christ marrying the Lamb then returning with him to defeat the beast and all of his minions, still on earth. We get our white robes here, so this has to happen before Rev. 4:4, 5:9, 7:9-16, these are thus the pre trub raptured church in heaven, marrying the Lamb, called to the wedding by Jesus as Rev. 4:1 says. Those who miss the call are in for a time of great troubles like never seen before. Rev. 20 of course happens after the 70th week ends. Jesus and the church who returns with him will judge the martyrs and Jewish saints now, and one day the angels who fell. Satan and his demons will all be locked up into the bottomless pit for Jesus' 1000 year reign. He will be released for a short time, in order to test those never before during the 1000 year reign, I am sure. Rev. 21 and 22 is the New Jerusalem and the ever after, or our eternal dwelling with God in heaven. Amen.
  3. General Secretary Xi Jingping of China is NOT King Nebuchadnezzar, and the lineage of King David cannot be reduced to Alexander The Great's army!! We are the preeminence of Christ only!! This is the only thing that will remain: And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. Col 1:18 Daniel 2:45 This is the meaning of the vision of the rock cut out of a mountain, but not by human hands—a rock that broke the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold to pieces. “The great God has shown the king what will take place in the future. The dream is true and its interpretation is trustworthy.”
  4. It has been said that we (America) are similar to the Ottoman Empire which existed before WW1. If this is true, America must be taken down incrementally, or not so incrementally, idk. I assume this would equate to the nations needing to cooperate more diplomatically with China & Russia on a more long term basis. If this down sizing of the USA were from God Almighty, then it might be written for us to understand the end times governmental changes in Daniel 7. (Please read the scripture below and pray). The heart of a man given to the lion England (to think like a man, not a beast) while the eagle's (America's) wings are plucked off of it. This creates separation between the USA and England. It might be making a way for the four headed panther government to have authority, China? Which nations (animals) are the 3 ribs in the Bear's mouth?? (Ukraine, USA, ?, ?) Note: Israel has not committed weapons for the Ukraine war effort. This may be pivotal. I think it is likely Putin has gone beyond the point of life on this earth with eternal ramifications mounting because of innocent youth's deaths in Ukraine. If this is true, Russia will still continue on this path without him. Also, because of innocent youth's being exterminated by the millions in the USA, once areas have been bombed, the US government will abandon those areas on United States soil during the war. I call this is the "Isaiah 23 modern Phoenician city paradox." NYC + Dubai other western culture cities as well... I guess plan, pray and prepare for the heathen exercisers' in the church, get ready for safe zones in this time. They might be safe zones, or they might be slave camps like the one prophesied by Chuck Youngbrant in the 70s near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. I guess whichever church is leading in hope and praise music will be blessed with governing sovereignty in this time. Isaiah 23:1-3 Wail, you ships of Tarshish! For Tyre is destroyed and left without house or harbor. From the land of Cyprus word has come to them. Be silent, you people of the island and you merchants of Sidon, whom the seafarers have enriched. On the great watersc ame the grain of the Shihor; the harvest of the Nile[ was the revenue of Tyre, and she became the marketplace of the nations. Daniel 7:4-6 “The first was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted from the ground so that it stood on two feet like a human being, and the mind of a human was given to it. “And there before me was a second beast, which looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. It was told, ‘Get up and eat your fill of flesh!’ “After that, I looked, and there before me was another beast, one that looked like a leopard. And on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. This beast had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.
  5. "And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures say: A measure of wheat for a days wages, and three measures of barely for a days wages, but see thou hurt not the oil and the wine" (keep the oil and wine affordable) Revelation 6:6 We are headed full steam into the climax of this time period. Each of the horses represent distinct periods of time. Hitler was the obvious climax of the red horse time period. We are headed now into the climax of the black horse period of time. It's time dear ones, time to stock up on canned food and various survival supplies. It's been time, this warning has gone out since at least 2011. But the time is quickly now approaching when we won't be able to easily stock up on anything. So I urge you to today go out and buy as much canned food as you can. Believe in the Lord your God, so shall you be established, Believe his messengers so shall you prosper. 2 Chronicles 20:20
  6. Things the Bible DOES NOT SAY about the End Times Notice, that this list, does not establish any end times theory, it tries to prove nothing. It does not even attack a theory, or attempt to refute one. What it does attempt to do, is to get people to ask themselves, why they believe certain things, that the Bible never says. So basically, in between the lines I am asking: If we believe certain things that are not stated in the scripture, and claim that we believe them because that is what scripture teaches, aren't we in principle adding to the words of scripture? Furthermore, if we teach these things as though they are true, does that make us false teachers? So, what things do I claim the Bible does not teach? Following is a short list: 1. It does not say there will be a Rapture of the Church, which occurs before the Great Tribulation. 2. It does not refer to a 7 year period as the Great Tribulation. 3. It does not say that the Holy Spirit is removed from the Earth at any time during the Great Tribulation. 4. It does not refer to the Great Tribulation, as the wrath of God. 5. It does not say that Jesus will return secretly or invisibly to take His Church. 6. It does not say that no man will ever know the time (the day or hour) of His coming. 7. It does not say that Jesus can return at any moment. 8. It does not say that Jesus will return like a thief in the night for His church. 9. It does not say that believers will not be in the great tribulation, or skip suffering and persecution, or even death. Now, am I wrong about anything on that list. If so, can you provide scripture citations that would make anything in the list a misstatement? Thanks for your help! P.S. Please try to stick to the actual topic, and provide us with the information which would show me to be in error, when I claim the bible does not express the ideas in the list. Also not, that in the thread that follows, other ideas that could be added to the list are these: 10. The Bible does not explicitly say the the Rapture is the Blessed Hope. 11. Jesus is not said to return as a thief in the night, in any context that necessitates a pre-tribulation return. 12. People often say: The Rapture is Jesus coming for His church, the Second Coming is Jesus coming with His church. I think those definitions are workable, but the Bible does not say there is a multi-year interval between those events. 13. The Bible does not say, that there are 144,000 evangelists or witnesses, during the tribulation. Helpful link to common verses applied to this topic
  7. Dear brothers and sisters, I received this email and I thought I would share with you all. Like I said before, things are NEVER going to be the same. There is going to be a "New Normal". The wicked having been plotting and scheming. I just think we should all be aware but DO NOT FEAR BECAUSE OF EVIL MEN, or be envious of those who do wrong for like the grass they will soon wither, for the like the green plants they will soon die away.......TRUST IN THE LORD and do good. That is from Psalm 37, I would recommend memorizing, meditating, and saying it aloud. It will help to build up your faith. Here is the email. Read it and let it sink in. The times are changing very very quickly. Prepare yourselves spiritually! Take on the full armor of God because the devil is going to be attacking more and more, so like the Scriptures say, above all, take up the shield of faith!!! I exhort you brothers and sisters, repent, get your houses in order! And above all rejoice and pray!!! This is for those who have ears to hear and eyes that are open to see. Greetings friends, On Friday I shared a video talking on how the stage seems to set for the coming mark of the beast. I wanted to share that article and video with you here today. I want to thank all of you who pray, and support this broadcast. I couldn’t make this happen without you. God bless. The Stage is Being Set for the Mark of the Beast We are living in a time, when government and tech industry leaders are openly usurping our freedoms and liberty and it’s about to get much, much worse. The unfortunate aspect of all this is many people seem to be begging for it. We are being told on a regular basis by these tech companies, by media, and by government, that we should prepare for a “new normal.” By new normal, they mean prepare to be tracked wherever you go, prepare to NEVER be able to gather in large numbers ever again. Prepare to be chipped and vaccinated in order to participate in basic commerce, to go out to eat, to go to a ball game, or run a 5k or marathon. Here is a recent quote from Bill Gates, “People can go out, but not as often, and not to crowded places,” he says. “Picture restaurants that only seat people at every other table and airplanes where every middle seat is empty.” Schools will reopen, but not stadiums.” I can’t help but ask the question, how is it a software developer is now in charge of telling me what my economic and health future looks like? Why is a tech industry telling me I need to be vaccinated? According to GatesNote.com “Realistically, if we’re going to return to normal, we need to develop a safe, effective vaccine.” These control freaks are literally drooling over the idea of taking complete control over humanity and using mass surveillance and ID’s to enforce it. Those in power, have no intention of letting us get back to a normal free society. What’s coming is lots of surveillance and restrictions, but it will be for “our safety,” so we should comply like good little boys and girls. Unfortunately, as I have already mentioned, it would appear most are willing to comply. People want their cushy lives back, they don’t want to be afraid anymore and they are willing to play ball with the devil to make it happen. We are very quickly seeing the stage set for the coming mark of the beast. I also wouldn’t be surprised to see a new leader come on the stage with great promises of a new world. The man of sin is about to be revealed and a great temptation which will try the whole world is near. I should close by saying, just because the enemy has these evil plans, does not mean he will succeed at this very moment in time. We must repent of our sins, and return to righteousness. We must pray for God to intervene and restore peace, joy, and freedom for the sake of His people. If we would only seek Him with humility, I believe He would answer our cries. In my recent book, The End of Days, A 30-Day Devotional, I predicted a time would come when people would become genetically modified, micro-chipped, and forced into a position to do it in order to participate in society. I never imaged it would come as a result of a virus and that my writing would be so timely.

  22. God's plan is God's Kingdom. God's Kingdom has particular values. Website: http://www.kingwatch.co.nz/Kingdom_of_God.htm What needs to happen to build the Kingdom of God? Who or what is in the way? Mankind is like God's Vineyard. The Lord is a shepherd. How have people been shepherded by God? How have people been shepherded by false shepherds? Pondering with God, I was given sight into the answers of some of these questions. Right now we have The Coronavirus. Since around the 1970's, a lot of the first world has been living complacently in, and blindly in, a Mutually Assured Destruction World. In a Post Cold War World, some kids don't even know what a nuclear bomb is. A lot of people have been complacent and lax. God showed me a potentially "World Destabilizing Event" in 2015. I worked as God's Watchman to sound the Alarm. I got on Twitter and other Social Media and worked to gain attention of Governments, CEO's, Churches, and other entities. In 2015, I was seeing a potential Great Depression that destabilized the world. Working for God, with some other people I may not have met before, we may have averted said World Destabilizing Event for some time. With the Coronavirus, people are having a little bit of a wake up call from their complacency. They were comfortable in a world that was perishing. Is the Coronavirus a "World Destabilizing Event?" A Kingdom Divided cannot stand. A lot of people have worked to divide Nations and Churches. America in 1960 was a much different place than after The Counter Culture. Someone like Teddy Roosevelt fought against Hyphenated Americanism. America was a melting pot, of different people coming together and becoming a Nation. The Counter Culture of the 1960's worked to divide people. The Counter Culture was a rebellion. A rebellion of wives from husbands. A rebellion of children from parents. A rebellion of men from God to other spiritualism, gurus, and ideology. In that rebellion, there was black power, latino power, Feminism, and various different things that worked to divide people. I haven't been given anything particular to say about how the Coronavirus is going to end, at this time. Someone like Hillary Clinton was a follower of Saul Alinsky. Saul Alinsky was a socialist that worked to infiltrate communities and Churches. A "Saul Alinsky" may have sat in a Church or Community for a few years, and got some people to like him, and then he worked his way into leadership and power, and started suggesting Anti-Christian, and God things towards radical social change that was Satanic. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/want-to-understand-hillary-clinton-read-saul-alinsky https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/is-there-a-deeper-network-behind-the-catholic-spring-56682 A Catholic Spring would, in part, be what was happening in Brazil and Germany earlier this year. That type of things was already in protestant churches as well. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/laurettabrown/2017/08/09/hillary-clinton-now-wants-to-be-a-methodist-preacher-n2366554 Under what condition may something like a fulfillment of Daniel 12 have happened? Given a Great Depression along with other destabilizing events, in the current political-social climate, we have the potential to see this. A Kingdom Divided cannot stand, and many people have worked to divide Nations and Divide Churches. In Ezekiel 16 and 23, Israel or Judah are like God's wives. They prostituted themselves with foreign God's and foreign nations. That would be multiculturalism as it has most been taught by the Left. Given people are following God most correctly. A culture is going to develop. In a similar way to God marrying Israel, the Church is a Bride for Christ. I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things. (Isaiah 45:7) Given people would like good things and blessings, they repent and seek God with all their heart and soul and strength and mind. Given people were listening to false shepherds, and turned away from God, and rejected righteousness, some dominoes may have started to fall till God's Judgement came on a Nation. There may be a lot of ways mankind could potentially be in peril over the next few years. From politicians seeking an "Atheistic Socialist State, with no borders, that denies the Book of Daniel, to Scientist working to create AI, and seeking "Trans humanism." A rejection of God and common sense bring despair and destruction. Be earnest and repent.
  23. Our introduction to the Devil happens very early in the Holy Bible. But, isn't the very idea of a serpent and the Devil a myth? When Lucifer fell to Earth, he took the form of the most terrifying creature he could find. https://raptureandendtimes.com/2020/05/09/rapture-2020-victory-over-leviathan/
  24. With all this Covid 19 going on, whether it is real or not real, whether it was man-made, there is going to be widespread famine. I believe it will not only happen here in the US but globally. This manufactured famine (for that is what I truly believe the wicked are doing) is going to help to usher in civil unrest, war, and the beast system. I don't watch tv, but have been hearing little tidbits of news about chickens being slaughtered, meat packing plants closing down. Before hearing of these things, I have been feeling in my spirit that I need to busy myself to prepare not only for my family but for whomever the Lord will bring to our home, or to help those in my community. There is so much to do that I feel at times very overwhelmed and don't know which direction to go first. I have to sit and calm myself before the Lord and ask Him. I just want to warn and encourage you my brothers and sisters in Christ. We must not dilly dally and waste the precious time that we have. Let us cry out to the Lord for our own personal sins, the sins of our nation and the world. Let us diligently pray and seek His Face, and read His Word. Let us be found being sober and watching. Let us be busy preparing for upcoming upheaval, famine. What can you do? Clean out your house of junk. We will need rooms to maybe house strangers. When you go grocery shopping, buy an extra bag of beans, or can of sauce, or rice. Here is some information that meat packing plants are indeed closing. It is not just beef but pork, chicken, all the meats..... https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/04/16/meat-processing-plants-are-closing-due-covid-19-outbreaks-beef-shortfalls-may-follow/ I truly believe that things are NEVER going to be back to normal, we have crossed the rubicon long ago and we are heading into what the Scriptures say, The Beginning Of Sorrows. Let us be somber, sober, but rejoicing for our King is Coming soon! Let us be found watching and waiting. The King is Coming!!! blessings, FHG
  25. Hi Everyone, I haven't been on here in awhile.... but I wanted to share this with you all.... you can take it to the Lord in prayer for discernment. I had been on a 90 day challenge of praying in the Spirit for one hour everyday. On March 25, after praying I wanted to ask the Lord if He wanted to tell me anything so I sat and waited, and this is what He gave me. I have heard from Him many times but I hadn't sat still long enough in a long time. I also write down what I hear in my spirit. So this is what I heard and I know I need to sound the alarm. I pray that you have ears to hear and eyes to see..... I don't claim to be a prophet but I just humbly ask that you read and take it to the Lord as to what you are to do with this. Thank you... Daughter, go about your business, keep busy, prepare, for a day of reckoning is coming. Be ever in My Presence. You will find peace and joy in the midst of disaster. There is joy in the LORD. Watch, pray, be MY Light. Great shaking coming Prepare. Trust in Me, do not doubt! My Power will be displayed to wake up the sleeping giant (The Church). THERE WILL BE BLOODSHED. WAR! Take shelter in Me. Do not look to the world, it will not save you. Hear My Voice My People! I AM COMING! I AM COMING! I AM COMING! Then this came the next day..... You know in your heart what to do. Meditate on MY WORD. feast upon it, it will give you strength to endure what is coming. My provision will come at the right time (finances to complete an assignment) You are to walk by faith and not by sight. There is danger coming, the wicked will not prevail. Manifestations are coming, manifestations of My Glory. Take heed My child, much deception. Encourage others. You will soon see Me, coming in My Glory. So please brothers and sisters and any unbelievers out there, prepare for the King is coming! Let us not be found being slothful but going about our Father's business! Get your house in order and study, meditate, and read His Word! blessings, FHG
