287) The Mark Of The True Savior Is Death

With any counterfeit you have to know the true in order to recognize the fake. You recognize the fake by comparing to the real. This is commonly done with currency or passports. The new spiritual citizens of the Hebrew nation are distinguished from their old ethnic association by taking on a characteristic hallmark. This has been commonly assumed to be circumcision in the Old Covenant, which was done away in the New Covenant.

It is not.

Circumcision is a mark of only one of God’s covenants with the Hebrew Abraham, this one for land ownership by one of Abraham’s many nations.

288) The True Trans

The number of transgender-identifying youth has nearly doubled in recent years, leaving politicians, educators, medical professionals and the public at odds over what policies are best suited to protect the health and well-being of children. Parents feel lost, confused and alone as a one-sided media echo chamber repeats the lie that in order to “save” their child, they must affirm their child’s chosen gender identity.

In response, Independent Women’s Forum is releasing a new documentary series called “Identity Crisis,” which tells seven stories that the transgender movement doesn’t want the public to hear.

The videos feature four mothers whose daughters fell victim to gender ideology, two detransitioners who now warn of the harms this movement is causing, and one mental health professional who rails against her profession for prioritizing political correctness over public health.

As more individuals come to regret the damage that the gender ideology movement has caused, the stories of children, parents and detransitioners are impossible to ignore. While the media continues to block them out, Independent Women’s Forum is giving them a voice. Watch, learn, and share… Continue reading “288) The True Trans”

SECTION LI: The Challenge (Rev 10)

While the war events that are documented are occurring, we can be certain that people all over the world are praying fervently for salvation, and prophets true and false are urging their followers to take certain actions.

 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven…And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his 1) right foot upon the sea, 2) and his left foot on the earth,” (Revelation 10:1-2)

Failing any other identification of this “little” book in the hand of the angel from which the two holy witnesses warn mankind, we must consider this to the be the Readers Digest condensed version of the same book identified earlier in Revelation as God’s plan for the end of time. Sure enough, that’s the topic of the day.

“And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth…that there should be time no longer: But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.” (Revelation 10:3-7)

Anticipated triumph – before it will happen!

“and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.” (Revelation 10:3)

Challenging!

“I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.” “Revelation 10:4)

Because unlike the responses of the Adversary to the first six trumpets, this won’t happen. This is it. The End is nigh.

“And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth…and eat it up…and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter…THOU must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.” (Revelation 10:1-11)

289) Help Wanted – Just Two Humans Needed To Salvage Humanity

Reminds me of the good ol’ days when God populated the entire world with just Adam and Eve.

The Adversary’s key characteristic is “I!”

The Singularity’s key characteristic is “Us.”

God is all about relationship. And there is incredible power in a solid relationship between two or more gathered together in his name / attribute of “submit yourselves one to another.” Far more, I’m certain, than in a crowd of strangers at a megachurch.

It’s the unity that empowers. It’s the manifestation of YHVH’s Singularity, overcoming the destructive division of selfishness, exploitation of others, hoarding out of fear of the unknown future while others are starving for lack of resources now. It’s the ultimate expression of faith in YHVH’s promises to meet our every need, when we need it. It’s the spark brought to life by flint on steel that lights up the world – and burns it down.

That unity is expressed at the most basic level of social organization – a man and a woman becoming one in hieros gamos – sacred sex – as per the Creator’s design, to perpetuate mortal life, as well as at the highest level of society in Melchi zedek – prophet, priest and king – guiding the way to eternal immortal life.

While the position of Melchizedek is intended to be unified in one person devoted to the Almighty God, such as Moses and David, it can also be split among mortals, especially in prophecy when the spirit of Almighty God unites them.

290) The Two Witnesses Are For Judgment

In 70 AD, exactly as Yeshua spoke it into being about 40 years earlier on “this generation”, more than 2 million Jews who had rejected YHVH’s Savior and his message of salvation through righteousness died from disease, starvation, slaughter or torture by crucifixion. More than 1 million Jews were sold into slavery, which led to today’s Diaspora.

But before this specific episode of punishment for blasphemy against the Holy Spirit was inflicted, forty years earlier 1) John the Baptizer in the spirit of Elijah and 2) the Christ / Prophet in the likeness of Moses preached repentance and return to YHVH to Israel to avoid the condemnation.

YHVH maintains the rules of order written in the law of Moses when condemning an offender.

“One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.” (Deuteronomy 19:15)

The requirement for two witnesses provides for the strongest likelihood of justice for the accused.

Unlike the Inquisition where no witnesses were required – only accusers, Continue reading “290) The Two Witnesses Are For Judgment”

291) Measuring The Temple Of God (Rev 11)

And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven [different from the one who declared woe on sinners in chapter 8], clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: And he had in his hand a little book open…And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and…he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.” (Revelation 10)

“There was given me [John] a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.” (Revelation 11:1)

We get a better grip on the message when we apply the same abstraction about the “tools” used to “measure” the degree of function vs dysfunction of individuals when we apply this concept to those used by clinicians to assess for problems. John is not only assessing, he is reporting his findings to his “patients”.

Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9)

Over the last 2 weeks, how often have you been bothered by any of the following problems (a-h)?

  • 0 – Not at all
  • 1- Several days
  • 2 – More than half the days
  • 3 – Nearly every day

The size of the temple measures the magnitude of the problem.

The number of “them” measures the extent of the problem.

The first occasion of measuring creates the template for us to recognize the degree of match of the succeeding and then the final.

292) The Abomination Of Desolation Is Israel’s Evil Military Alliance

“When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)...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 / mortality be saved:” (Matthew 24:15-22)

The abomination of desolation is commonly conceived as a statue, no doubt because it is reported to  “stand” by YHVH’s Savior and to “be set up” by Daniel.

However, Daniel clarifies that living beings – not statues – are “set up”.

“O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour...whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and WHOM he would he set up; and WHOM he would he put down.” (Daniel 5:18-19)

While the False Prophet does put a statue in place of the person, the essential “set up” is understood to mean the more comprehensive and higher abstract meaning “to raise in authority or power;  invest  with  power:  They set the general up as a dictator.” See also Psalm 75:5Psalm 132:11Proverbs 8:23, Isaiah 9:11Daniel 4:17, Hosea 8:3-4.

The scripturally educated disciples knew exactly what Jesus was talking about.

293) Temple 3 Follows Suit, Loses The Gamble

When King Herod I remodeled the Jewish temple in hopes of creating an eternal legacy, flaunting Rome’s backing of his power in brash contradiction against any images in Judaism whatsoever and essentially throwing a finger at YHVH, he placed a golden eagle outside of the Temple of Jerusalem.

Clearly this was not the house of the God of Israel. It was an abomination – hybrid of monotheistic YHVH with the pagan Roman god-rulers.

And a major tourist attraction.

Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves… (Matthew 21:12-13)

And God will not be mocked.

294) Satan’s Pretrial Hearing

America’s civil and criminal justice systems are grounded on the Mosaic Code…centuries before Christ, the Jews devised a legal system based on the dignity of man and individual equality before the law. Individuals accused of crimes were considered innocent until proven guilty, had the right to confront their accusers, were allowed to testify in their own behalf, were not subject to double jeopardy, and could appeal convictions. From Max Dimont’s Jews, God & History.

In the American system, there are stages of a criminal lawsuit that must be followed. 

During the sentencing phase of a criminal case, the court determines the appropriate punishment for the convicted defendant. In determining a suitable sentence, the court will consider a number of factors, including the nature and severity of the crime, the defendant’s criminal history, the defendant’s personal circumstances and the degree of remorse felt by the defendant.

As so in Revelation, before God’s wrath is poured out on the Adversary in Revelation 16, we find a review of the defendant’s criminal history in Revelation 14-15, including aggravated stalking, acts of terrorism, mass murder, and desecration, just to name a few.

295) The Great Tribulation Ends When The Remnant Repents

“I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days…And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city…where also our Lord was crucified…And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they [the observers] heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them [the two risen men], Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them…and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.” (Revelation 11:3-13)

Nowadays “remnant” generally applies to the last little bit of fabric left after the rest of the large amount on the bolt has been cut off. It’s not considered worth much, and sold at a discount.

In a biblical context, “remnant” also refers to “the last little bit remaining.”  

“And the remnant that remaineth of the [10] curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remaineth [1/20th of the total]… (Exodus 26:1,12)

When applied to humans, it still means what’s left of what has been cut off, not worth bothering much about.

  • “Ishmael…smote Gedaliah…whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land. Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah…
  • Then Johanan…went to fight with Ishmael…took…the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmaelto go to enter into Egypt…for we are left but a few of many.  (Jeremiah 41-42)

Likewise, the remnant in Jerusalem who give glory to God are the very few remaining individuals of a larger group that has been killed, not only by invading foreigners, but also by apostate politico-religious leaders in league with foreigners, like the remnant recovered from Ishmael.
