Acts 5:19-33 — We Ought to Obey God Rather Than Men

~ mikethemissionary

Dear Friends, 

Greetings in Christ!

When we left off at Acts 5:18, the envious religious leaders who ran the Temple were beside themselves, as people flowed into the city to get saved and/ or healed of whatever was afflicting them. Instead of listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit, the Sadducees tried to silence the apostles by arresting them.

One might think the apostles were in big trouble, but nothing is as it seems. Jesus said that persecution is a cause for celebration. (Matt 5:12) The apostles knew their arrest was not worthy to be compared with the tremendous move of the Spirit taking place in Jerusalem. (Acts 5:12; Rom 8:18)

Father, please fill us with your Holy Spirit and give us understanding as we read your word, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Acts 5:19-33
19 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,
20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
21 And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate [Sanhedrin] of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22 But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told,
23 Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
24 Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.

So, the apostles are rescued by an angel. Did you know you have angels watching over you? If you are in Christ, you do. (Ps 91:11; Heb 1:14) Now that their cell is found empty, their persecutors are getting even more concerned about the spread of the gospel. 

25 Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.
27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,
28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.

The Sadducees are indignant that the gospel has spread throughout Jerusalem, but I can almost see the apostles high-fiving each other. They have now completed the first phase of the Great Commission. (Luke 24:47; Acts 1:8) 

The actions of the Sadducees seem to be prompted not only by envy, but fear as well. They are afraid the apostles intend to bring Jesus’ blood upon them, but that is what they agreed to. (Matt 27:25) How quickly they seem to have forgotten. In the grand scheme of things, I am just as guilty as they were, but they refused to repent. David committed adultery and then murder to cover it up, but he repented. Saul, his predecessor, refused to repent of his sins. As a result, he grew more and more fearful and vindictive, like the Sadducees in our text.

29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

There is a certain preacher with a high-profile ministry to Israel, Hagee, who tells them Jesus is not their Messiah, but he clearly missed something. (Does he know how to read?) Jesus is the only Messiah — the Messiah of Israel, the Messiah of the Gentiles.

32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
33 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.
Acts 5:19-33

Jesus taught us that as Christians, we are similar to the prophets. (Matt 5:12) Thus, Peter and the apostles responded to their persecutors in the same manner as the prophets that went before them. The result is always the same, ie, their persecutors took counsel to slay them. This is what happens not only to prophets, but to all believers from Abel all the way to Jesus. Satan would gladly kill us all if he could. Thankfully, we each have a hedge of protection which Satan cannot breach without Father’s permission. (Job 1:9-2:7)

Christianity is not a game and Jesus does not like cowardice. (Josh 1:9; II Tim 1:7; Rev 21:8) The good news is that even if you are not a brave person, the Holy Spirit will make you into one. (Matt 26:56; cf Acts 5:29-32)

I have been humbled at times to meet Christians who have been jailed and beaten for sharing their faith. Although I have been ‘hauled in’ a few times, I’ve never seen the inside of a jail cell. I’ve never been beaten. I can still remember the first time it ever occurred to me that I might be tortured or worse some day for being a Christian and it freaked me out. Now when I think about it, I always remember what Opa said to Corrie ten Boom when she asked him ‘What if I’m persecuted some day and I’m not strong enough to keep from denying Jesus?’ Opa said, ‘When we take the train to Amsterdam, when do I give you your ticket?’ Corrie answered, ‘Before we get on the train’. Opa then explained to Corrie that Jesus would give her all the strength she needs when she needs it, should that time ever come. Many years later, persecution did come, and Corrie passed her test with flying colors. 

As for the rest of us, Jesus commands us to share the truth in love. When the world calls it hate and tries to intimidate us, remember We ought to obey God rather than men.

Father, give us the boldness of the apostles, that we may always tell the truth, the way the prophets who went before us did. Should persecution come, give us the courage of David that we may obey You always, even unto death if need be, that we may receive a crown of life, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Acts 5:12-18 — With One Accord in Solomon’s Porch

~ mikethemissionary

Dear Friends,

Greetings in Christ!

In our last post, we saw how Satan failed in his attempt to infiltrate and influence the early church through Ananias and Sapphira. God’s judgment may have seemed a bit heavy-handed to our limited understanding, but [t]he judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

The church is still united. (v 12) The church was held in reputation and the people magnified them. (v 13) The church continues to grow. (v 14)

Please fill each of us with your Holy Spirit, Father, and give us understanding as we read thy word, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Acts 5:12-18
12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.

The Bible says if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. That means if you do not have some Christian friends, you want to make some. Convert your own if you have to, but make some. This is a crucial point that will need to be developed further in a future study. (Pr 27:17)

When they were still meeting together in the Temple in Solomon’s porch, the old-guard Temple leadership had to watch the flurry of activity surrounding those unschooled Jesus people, who they said did not know the law. (John 7:49) They were green with envy.

13 And of the rest durst [dared] no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.

Many people were still afraid to be seen with them, but in secret, apparently, the people magnified them.

14 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one. 

17 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,
18 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
Acts 5:12-18

Here we go again — multitudes are bringing their sick and demon-possessed people from roundabout Jerusalem and each and every one of them is healed and/ or delivered. People are believing on Jesus. The high priest and his sad-you-see comrades are fit to be tied. So, the apostles are arrested and thrown in jail — another opportunity to show the power of the Holy Spirit. (I Thess 5:18)

In our study in Acts 4:1-14, I mentioned how the Quakers were persecuted in the early days of the colonies because they believed in being guided by the “Inward Light” of the Holy Spirit (not just by ordained ministers). In fact, throughout much of church history, it was illegal to preach unless you were licensed to do so by the ‘Church’. In England, John Bunyan (who wrote what was probably the most beloved Christian book ever written next to the Bible) spent years in jail for preaching without a license. In the colonies, not only Quakers, but anyone who challenged the stale and unbiblical practices of the establishment churches was persecuted. Baptists were jailed and even whipped. (There is a widely-circulated account of a preacher who was whipped to death for not taking a license shortly before the War of Independence, but I cannot find the source of the story.) Of course, these persecutions were mild compared to the trials of the early church or what happened later in the Inquisition. Before Jesus was crucified by the religious leaders of his day, He taught us, The servant is not greater than his Lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you.

Therefore, those who follow the leading of the Holy Spirit will be persecuted by those who are in the flesh, but that is not the point I want to make. The persecution fostered the spread of the gospel (Acts 8:1-4), but that is not my point either. The moral of this post is that true Christianity is not necessarily found in establishment institutions that require ordinations, seminary degrees, and the like. I believe Jesus meant to teach us this by deliberately choosing people like Simon Peter and Mary Magdalene to be his disciples. All true Christianity requires is being born again (John 3:3) and being guided and taught by the Spirit. (John 16:13) Oftentimes, various religions are mistaken for Christianity, but Christianity is not a religion; Christianity is a relationship. The only religion God ever made was Judaism, but by the time Jesus came along, even Judaism had been twisted into something that God never intended. (Matt 23:13 et al) Jesus spent three and a half years here on earth explaining this. Jesus never taught that Christianity is a new religion in addition to Judaism; rather, Christianity is true Judaism. Christianity is faith in the Jewish Messiah, the King of the Jews. (Ps 22; Isa 53; et al)

When Jesus called the notorious sinner Levi (aka Matthew), He just said Follow me. It really is that simple. Jesus said all you have to do to be born again is believe in Him. (John 3:16) Jesus said all you have to do to receive the Holy Spirit is ask. (Luke 11:13) If you will do so, you will be taking your first steps into a grand adventure. Christianity opens a door to a much larger world beyond the scope of our limited vision. Jesus is the door to this land of promises and wonders; the door to light out of darkness, the door to forgiveness, a new heart and a regenerated spirit. The door to reconciliation with the God who made you. Jesus is the door to life everlasting.

If you want Jesus, pray this prayer:

Father in heaven, I’m a sinner. I believe your Son died for me. I believe He rose again. I believe He is coming back again and I want Him in my life. Lord Jesus, please come to my heart. Please take control of my life. Thank You for the precious blood You shed for me on Calvary. I pray this in your holy and precious name. Amen.

Next, study your Bible and let the Holy Spirit take it from there. (John 8:31, 32)

PS: In Acts 4:33, Dr Luke wrote that great grace was upon the early church. We do not often see examples of the great power that was upon the apostles in the Book of Acts, but I have consistently witnessed great grace in my own walk with Jesus, as well as the lives of others close to me. Understanding grace is key to your walk with Jesus. Grace means unmerited favor. We cannot earn our salvation. It’s a gift, the same for everyone, whether she is a medical missionary or a prostitute. The same goes for God’s love. You cannot earn it. God loves you just as much on your worst day when you committed your worst sin as He does on your best day when you feel your most righteous. Regardless of what you may have done, however terrible it may have been, if you have received Christ, when God looks at you all He sees is the righteousness of his Son. Your sin is gone. When we understand this, it increases our love for Jesus and draws us closer to Him. Jesus loves you more than you can possibly imagine!

Romans 5:15-18
Romans 8:35-39
Galatians 2:16
Galatians 5:14
Ephesians 2:8, 9

PPS: Thank you for praying for my friends in South Africa. There have already been some positive results. Thank You, Father, for always answering our prayers, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prophecy update: In last week‘s prophecy update, I mentioned how a growing number of countries are requiring digital ID (including biometrics for things like employment and banking). One such country, Russia, is launching a digital ID linked to a social-media ‘everything app’ similar to WeChat — or what Musk envisions for X.

Meanwhile, although Ross Ulbricht was pardoned by Trump, Pavel Durov remains captive in France, waiting to see what will become of their case against him. (Ulbricht was targeted by corrupt agents for creating Silk Road, a marketplace website that pioneered the use of Bitcoin. Durov refused to give governments back-door access to his secure social-media app, Telegram.)

Finally, Viet Nam recently closed 86,000 bank accounts of people who did not comply with their mandatory digital ID, or about 43% of the country’s bank accounts. That’s step one. When the worldwide plan is fully implemented, you know what the next steps will be for those who refuse to comply. (Rev 13:17; 20:4) Their target date is 2030. Receive Christ now and prepare yourself before it’s too late; save yourself from this untoward generation. (I Cor 15:51-54; Rev 19:7)

Prologue

Dragon Slayer (2014),  P 161:

A well-rounded worldview is one that incorporates not just religion, philosophy, history, and current events, but politics as well — a reasoned view of politics. In order to truly understand an organization, one needs to understand its roots. Although the Democratic Party has styled itself as the party of civil liberties, their true roots are such that they were indeed the party of slavery. This is what they stood for historically. The Republicans, the party of Lincoln, started out well but have been co-opted in the twenty-first century by the ‘neocons’, a name they adopted for themselves. The neocons no longer represent American values as defined by the founding fathers. The anti-slavery stance for example was a founding-father value. Many of the founding fathers were abolitionists. The Declaration of Independence itself attacked slavery by declaring that all men are created equal. However the neocons are now championing the end of civil liberties by destroying the Bill of Rights, and by subjugating the modern populations of the world. The Democrats are complicit with them. 

Dragon Slayer (2014),  P 215:

The New World Order, with its intervention policies that erode national sovereignty, used to only appeal to the left. Then along came the neocons. The neocons have been in control of the Republican Party ever since George H.W. Bush. Irving Kristol is the “godfather of neoconservatism.” This is what Irving Krostol’s Wikipedia page says: “As a former Trotskyist, Irving was indeed himself mugged by the “reality” of conservative philosophy and enfolded leftist policies such as a lack of objection to welfare programs, international “revolution” through nation-building/ militarily imposed “democracy” and application of Fabian Socialism/Keynesianism coupled with a socially conservative viewpoint. These concepts lie at the core of neoconservative philosophy to this day.” [Emphasis added.] 

Dragon Slayer (2014), P 43:

After our involvement in Iraq, it was admitted that Iraq had nothing to do with September 11, nor were there any WMDs in Iraq.  Instead of liberation, our involvement only badly destabilized the area, forcing the Christians to flee the country. They sought refuge in Syria, where it was granted. Then we aided in the destabilization of Syria by supporting the Syrian rebels. The Christian refugees and the local Christians were badly persecuted by the very rebel forces the United States was supporting. The Christians were raped, killed, forced to convert to Islam, or beheaded in many cases. Many fled for their lives back to Iraq again. 

Notes on John (2020):

Essentially what we are looking at is Obama 2.0. [Biden] We can expect all the things I wrote about in Dragon Slayer Jesus Christ to resurface. For example, expect to see ISIS come back and wars in the Middle East to return. Added to this is the fact that Biden is 100% committed to medical tyranny in the name of COVID. Take heart though. All these are the beginning of sorrows [birth pangs]. Although dark times are upon us, the good news is we have a new birth of freedom coming. [Ie, 1000 years of peace (Rev 20)]

Notes on John (2021):

One of the greatest achievements of the Trump Administration was the defeat of ISIS and a drawdown of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, not to mention the multiple peace treaties between Israel and her neighbors. Following the stolen presidential election of 2020, I wrote that we will soon see a return of the failed policies of the Obama Administration. Right on cue, Washington has been busy rebranding Mohammad al Jolani, the founder of al-Nusra, the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda, as a legitimate head of state dressed in Western business attire. In Dragon Slayer Jesus Christ, I wrote about how this shell game is played with al-Qaeda, blaming them for terrorism while at the same time using them to fight proxy wars. Now, they are being presented as our new ally, the legitimate government in Syria.

Fast forward to 2024: As the Biden Administration (Obama 2.0) was winding down, Syria was taken over by HTS in a lightning-fast eight-day blitz. Shortly afterward, the US lifted the terror designation from HTS leader Abu Mohammed al-Jolani. The wars in the Middle East are following a predictable pattern, ie the final stages of a plan set in motion over 25 years ago by the Project for a New American Century. After September 11, General Wesley Clark learned of these plans directly from the top brass in DC and made them public. The plan was to take over seven nations in the Middle East starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off, Iran. (See Dragon Slayer, p 179) 

That brings us to where we are now in 2025:

These events were orchestrated and executed by the Republican neocons. The Democrats under Obama were complicit with them. Now Trump — either wittingly or unwittingly, who knows — is embroiled in this plot. The momentum of this agenda is an unstoppable force, on a crash course with the immovable object of Bible prophecy. From a worldly perspective, what we see transpiring in the Middle East is essentially the Great Game Part II. This, however, is a very short-sighted perspective. To have an accurate worldview, one must examine everything through the lens of Scripture. 

Each stage in this process that kicked off on September 11, 2001 has antagonized various players in the Magog scenario of Ezekiel 38, 39. After the rapture of the church and the fulfillment of Ezekiel 37 (ie, the worldwide return of the Jews to Israel), Russia (Magog), Iran, and the other Muslim participants are going to be so incensed over their many losses that they are going to rise up in unison against Israel. They will feel invincible as they descend on their tiny adversary, only to be obliterated. After their defeat, their corpses will be buried in the valley of Hamon-gog. Their weapons will be burned for seven years. (Ez 39:1-16) Nevertheless, world sentiment will continue to turn against Israel (and toward the Antichrist) until Israel has to flee to Jordan, where they will find refuge in Petra. (Isa 16:1-4) When Jesus returns at the end of the Great Tribulation Period, Israel will receive her Messiah. (Zech 13:6) 

End of Prologue. Now we are prepared to proceed with this prophecy update:

In Daniel 9, Daniel recognized his people would soon be released from Babylon just as Jeremiah foretold. (Jer 29:10) Daniel knew that God was about to do something big. Daniel therefore prepared himself with prayer and fasting. God is preparing to do something big in our day too. The ‘great men’ of the earth make their plans. The Bible says God is laughing at them. (Ps 2:4) Father, give us understanding as we read thy word, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Daniel 9:1-21

1  In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;

2  In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.

3  And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:

4  And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;

5  We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:

6  Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.

7  O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.

8  O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.

9  To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;

10  Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.

11  Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.

12  And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.

13  As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.

14  Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.

15  And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.

16  O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us.

17  Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord’s sake.

18  O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.

19  O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.

20  And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God;

21  Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.

Daniel 9:1-21

In Daniel’s prayer, we see that one of the curses Israel brought on themselves through their transgressions was confusion. Daniel mentioned this twice. Daniel said this confusion had permeated their culture, affecting everyone from the head to the tail (v 7f). Mark Twain said history does not repeat itself, but it often rhymes. Much like Israel, the church in these last days has sinned too. Hence, we are cursed with confusion just as they were. Let’s take a step back:

Do you remember where you were the first time you used the Internet? I certainly do. I also remember where I was when I first heard we were attacked on September 11, yet my emotional response to the one seemed to be an inverse function of the other. Like the precious Ring of Power in a Tolkien novel, the Internet captivated us. It then lured us away from our books, our critical thought patterns, and our communion with God. It was available to all, unprejudiced and nonthreatening. It was like a lotus salad on a silver platter served by an enchantress named Pandora. Once the Internet became part of our daily lives, I could not help but notice how people were embracing the opinions of total strangers. If their site appeared near the top of the search results, they were automatically an authority on any given subject. Before anyone even knew who was running Snopes it was widely regarded as the final arbiter of truth. When search results were later manipulated to hide certain hits and magnify others, the cancer metastasized. 

The complete control of the Internet was always the plan of the New World Order. I wrote about this in the 10-Year Anniversary Edition of Dragon Slayer (available for free here). Controlling the narrative is necessary for their plan of world domination, especially their plans to depopulate the world through vaccines, or what the Bible calls sorceries (Gk pharmakeia, Rev 18:23). Artificial Intelligence is taking the deception to the next level. I think the question we need to ask ourselves is whether we are going to let this trend affect us as Christians. Daniel serves as a model for us to follow in this regard. He refused to eat the rich food the Babylonians ate. He refused to follow their laws when they conflicted with his faith. Daniel was in Babylon but not of Babylon. Daniel was knowledgeable of the times and he exercised discernment; he prepared himself accordingly.

As for us, our King is coming back for us soon. Will He find you watching? Or will you be lulled to sleep by the alternate reality of Satan and his silicon army? Timothy Leary told his followers to “Turn on, tune in, drop out.” I say Turn off, tune out, unplug. I have never used Siri and I never will. I will always choose reality over AI. I do not own a TV. Digital lotus may be pleasurable for a season, but the end thereof is death. AI amounts to lies and deception. The Bible and analog reality point to the truth. Consider:

They are preparing to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. (Matt 24:15)

They are preparing the new economy of the New World Order. (Rev 13:16-18)

They are preparing the worldwide deception of the Antichrist. (2 Thess 2:11)

Are you prepared?

Whatever turn current events may take, the key thing to keep in mind is where all this is leading. Jesus is coming back soon. Jesus is not worried about the news headlines. We need to stay focused on Jesus. (Isa 26:3) Everything else is a distraction. 

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10

For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Hebrews 10:37

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 1 Peter 1:13

Keep your attention fixed on Christ and his kingdom. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Jesus is coming. In the final analysis that is all that really matters. Tell others. Be ready. Come quickly Lord Jesus. Amen. 

Daniel 3 – Prophecy Update for April 2025

~ mikethemissionary

Dear Friends,

Greetings in Christ!

With all that is happening in the world these days, I think a prophecy update is in order. Early on in 2020, I wrote about how we were looking at a reset of the global chessboard. As we have seen, not only in 2020 but over the past few years and moving forward, that is precisely what is taking place. The topic on everyone’s mind right now is the tariffs. Needless to say, finance is not my wheelhouse, but even among those I look to for guidance in such matters, there is no consensus. Conservatives are for the most part putting a positive spin on what is happening and saying it will work out for the better. At the same time, libertarians tend to be among those saying the tariffs are a wrecking ball that is going to destroy the world economy. I tend to take the middle ground in cases like these, as Jesus is usually in the middle. (Matt 18:20; Luke 2:46; 4:30; 24:36; John 19:18) From my layman’s perspective, right or wrong, our grandparents’ values of hard work and being frugal are always right and will help get us through whatever may be coming. That being said, our focus should not be on the economy or politics. We need to keep our eyes, our minds, and our hearts on Christ. (Matt 14:29-31) Like the north star, Jesus is a steady Guide. Jesus is a sure Anchor in a storm. Jesus is a bright Light that always remains fixed while pointing the way. One day, when everything that can be shaken is shaken, Jesus will still be in the same place He always was, unfazed and unmoved — a Rock that we can stand on for a firm foundation. If we are grounded in his word, we will be unmoved and unfazed too; like a tree planted by the rivers of water. Jesus tells us if we are wise and do as He says, when the rain descends, and the floods come, and the winds blow and beat upon our houses, they will not fall, because they were founded on a rock. (Matt 7:24f)  

Therefore, while we should not make the events taking place on the world stage our focus, what are we to make of them in terms of Bible prophecy? One pundit that caught my eye called what is happening ‘the end of globalization’. It never ceases to amaze me how misguided the world is when looking to the future. Back in the 90s, I was struck by how Rush Limbaugh would make fun of people who said that we were moving towards globalization. Of course, now it is plain to see Rush was dead wrong about that. (And we silly Christians were right!) In 2025, we are still moving in that direction and the tariffs are not going to change the course we are on. We are witnessing the rise of the new world order. That was the title of a book I published in 2014, and virtually everything I wrote in that tome has been vindicated in spades. A few of the more crucial topics included the dangers of vaccines (Chapter IV), the importance of taking control of your own health (Chapter VII), the authority of the church — eg why the churches should not have let the government shut them down in 2020 (Chapter XIII), government entrapment (Chapter XV), mind control (Chapter XV), and the attack on the American soldier (Chapter XVI). I could mention many others. Eleven years later, we are still witnessing the rise of the new world order. Nothing is going to stop that train. 

Just as we began to see a reset of the global chessboard in 2020, what I see now is a resetting of the global financial system. Before the new system that John saw in Revelation 13 is phased in, however, the old one needs to be phased out. Of course, how this comes about exactly is anyone’s guess. For example, a few years ago it looked like CBDCs were going to be foisted upon us. Now it is looking more like it may not be a government-issued digital currency that replaces our federal reserve notes, but something similar that is privately run. (Ie, something that is not only digital like our current system but more sophisticated in its ability to track and control us.) The way I see it, the ‘how’ is not the important part, but the ‘what’. What John saw in Revelation 13 is coming, one way or the other. Whether or not the tariff turmoil nudges us in that direction — by say, causing a crash that necessitates a new system for example — remains yet to be seen. I am old enough to remember when banking across state lines was green-lighted (the Siegle-Neal Act). In 1994, that was a big change from what we were used to. Now more than 30 years later, the changes keep on coming. The important thing is not to be trapped in the system that is being created by the globalists. That is the focus of this post. How to be ready and not get trapped. Father, give us understanding as we read thy word, in Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Daniel 3

1  Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.

2  Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

3  Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

4  Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages,

5  That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:

6  And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

7  Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

8  Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.

9  They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever.

10  Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, shall fall down and worship the golden image:

11  And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

12  There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

13  Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then they brought these men before the king.

14  Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?

15  Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?

16  Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.

17  If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.

18  But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

19  Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.

20  And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.

21  Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

22  Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed- nego.

23  And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

24  Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.

25  He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.

26  Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, came forth of the midst of the fire.

27  And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king’s counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.

28  Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.

29  Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.

30  Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, in the province of Babylon.

Daniel 3

So, we have a familiar story here. Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah refuse to bow down to Nebuchadnezzar’s idol, which is clearly supposed to represent the image of the beast in Revelation 13:

The image was 60 cubits high, 6 cubits wide, and 6 instruments played. (Rev 13:18)

The image was made of gold, which is what the world worships. (Matt 6:24; Luke 16:13)

Just as the idol was made of gold, the image of the beast is connected to buying and selling. (Rev 13:17)

The worship is worldwide; everyone is invited from afar for the dedication of the idol. (Rev 13:16)

All the leaders in government are on board with the dedication of the image. (Rev 17:12) 

The worshipers of God are persecuted for not going along with the crowd. (Rev 13:15)

First of all, notice that Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were in the world but not of the world (John 17:15f). Ie, they were not running to the hills or looking for a place to hide. Like Daniel, they served in government. They even went by their Babylonian names. They were no doubt acting as salt and light where God placed them, working as public servants for the people of Babylon. But when it came time to worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar set up, they humbly engaged in civil disobedience. This took courage, but their strong witness led to the conversion of Nebuchadnezzar — and others too, no doubt. (Dan 4:37)

What else can we learn from this passage? For one thing, Daniel’s absence is conspicuous. Daniel represents the church, which will not be present when the image of the beast is set up. If you are in Christ, you will have already been raptured. (Daniel’s three friends represent how Israel will be protected in the furnace of the great tribulation period, when the image of the beast is set up.) But what if you are found sleeping when Jesus comes back for his church (Mark 13:36)? What if you do not have oil in your lamp (Matt 25)? What if you are trusting in something other than Christ and his finished work on the cross (Luke 21:36)? God in his mercy will give you another chance to receive his Son as your personal Saviour, but like Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, your faith will be put to the ultimate test. (Rev 20:4) Our passage shows that God will spare those who refuse to worship the image of the beast or take his mark in their right hands or foreheads, the same way He spared Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. They stayed focused on their relationship with God. They followed Him at all costs. They did not let themselves get distracted.

This brings us back to the tariffs. There are indeed shockwaves rocking the world. Trillions in equity are being wiped out virtually overnight. This includes retirement accounts wrapped up in things like 401Ks. There is no doubt that these things are going to cause suffering and pain for many people throughout the world. If you are suffering, remember that Jesus is with you just as He was with Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. The fourth Man in the fire was Jesus Christ. (Dan 3:25) If you are going through the fire, Jesus is with you too. Keep your mind stayed on Him and He will keep you in perfect peace. (Isa 26:3) If you have been distracted, Jesus is able to get you back on track. Thank God, because He is coming soon.

What should we do in the meantime? We need to tell people about Jesus. I have made my book Where Did All the People GO? available to my friends and family and tried to share it with as many people as possible. Amazon clearly hates this book and hides it unless you type in the full title along with my full name, but the link will take you to it. This book covers every topic somebody who gets left behind will need to know about. What about you? How is your walk? If you need a spiritual boost I suggest you go to the downloads tab and download my Genesis commentary for free. Out of everything I have ever written, my Genesis commentary is by far my favorite. I trust that after reading it you will be more focused on Christ. Then maybe try one of the other free commentaries. 

Father, thank You for giving us pictures in your word to warn us about what is coming and to tell us how to prepare. Thank You for the precious promises that we are saved by grace through faith and that all of us are welcome, whatever we may have done if we repent. Thank You most of all for giving us your Son. Help us to make ourselves ready for Him. Help us to be strong witnesses wherever You have placed us. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Daniel 2:31-48 —  2024 Was a Weird Year

~ mikethemissionary

Dear Friends,

2024 was a very weird year. For example, in 2024, JD Vance was uniformly declared to be “weird” by the talking heads. On the other hand, Dr Demetre Daskalakis, Dr Rachel Levine, Sam Brinton, and the like are all supposedly perfectly normal. Let’s review:

• Commercial pane crash disasters were the bookends to 2024, with a flurry of crashes at the beginning and the end of the year. Weird.

• In 2024, the Jeffery Epstein files were unsealed by the courts. Some of the bigger names exposed included Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, and Alan Dershowitz. 

• Weird tunnels with bloody mattresses were found in an ethnic NYC neighborhood in 2024, then filled in with cement. 

• In 2024, American journalist Gonzalo Lira was jailed and disappeared in Ukraine.

• In 2024, the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed after being hit by a ship. 

• In 2024, sunspots caused an aurora light show across the Midwest in America. 

• A total solar eclipse crossed the US in 2024, intersecting the path of a 2017 total eclipse, thereby making a St Andrews Cross pattern with Rapture, Indiana, near the center where the paths intersected.

• Donald John Trump was assailed with a flurry of lawfare in 2024, being forced to pay millions of dollars for weird and dubious charges. 

• In 2024, special counsel Robert Hur declared Joe Biden could not be prosecuted because he was too senile to stand trial. 

• In 2024, Dr Deborah Birx said we have to PCR test every cow. Weird.

• Weaponized drones were on display in 2024 in the war in the Gaza Strip, with AI deciding who and who not was an enemy combatant. 

• In 2024, the Mossad scored a big win against Israel’s enemies with a remote pager attack.

• Venezuelan illegal aliens reportedly took over apartment complexes in multiple states in 2024.

• Haitians, reportedly brought into Springfield, Ohio, for cheap labor, were accused of eating ducks from local parks and neighborhood pets in 2024.  

• North Carolina suffered an apparent weaponized weather attack in 2024. 

• In 2024, a basecamp set up by volunteers to assist people in North Carolina was ‘washed out’ by a government helicopter when it used the power of its rotor blades to blow their tents over and topple their supply caches. 

• In 2024, after Biden was revealed to be mentally incompetent in a televised debate, Kamala Harris was installed as the Democrat candidate by the DNC Politburo, with no votes whatsoever.

• Kamala went on to burn through $1.5 billion in funds in her failed presidential bid. 

• According to Candace Owens, Kamala Harris was an MK Ultra mind-controlled Manchurian candidate. Weird. 

• Julian Assange finally went home to Australia in 2024 after years of incarceration for the crime of journalism. 

• The UK jailed scores of people in 2024 for making political statements in social media posts. Weird.

• The elite white-privileged Yale fraternity, Skull and Bones, was taken over by Cuban trannies in 2024, according to the elite publication, The Atlantic.

• Escalation towards WW3 continued in 2024, with supersonic ATACMS being fired into Russia and a hypersonic Oreshnik missile being fired from Russia. 

• In 2024, Sean Diddy Combs was charged with sex trafficking and racketeering, in what appears to be an entrapment scheme with several big names implicated by association in some way or other. Weird. 

• In 2024, The NY Times reported that the US had 12 spy bases operating in Ukraine for years before the war broke out. 

• In 2024, Paris hosted the Olympics. It was very weird. There were swimmers who got sick from the polluted Seine they were forced to swim in. Contestants complained about the food they were given (or the lack thereof), and being made to sleep on cheap cardboard beds in rooms that were not air-conditioned. The weirdest part though, was the parody of the last supper in the opening ceremony, where Christ was portrayed by a fat tranny. 

• In 2024 Luigi Mangione was made into a sex symbol, after shooting an insurance company CEO in the back. 

• Populist leaders were elected across the globe in 2024. In Romania, however, the court simply annulled the results of the election after populist Călin Georgescu won the first round of voting. 

• In 2024, it was reported that in 2023, 1 in 20 deaths in Canada were due to euthanasia. Even young children are euthanized in Canada now, for things as arbitrary as being sad.

• In 2024, Canada admitted that COVID vaccines mandated by the government were injuring people, but their solution in many cases was to euthanize them. 

• In 2024, Syria was taken over by HTS in a lightning-fast eight-day blitz. Shortly afterward, the US lifted the terror designation from HTS leader Abu Mohammed al-Jolani. We saw this coming.

• In 2024, Haiti was taken over by a warlord named Barbecue.

• In 2024, scientists claimed they created a robot controlled by a brain in a jar.

• In 2024, it was reported that the Biden administration lost track of 291,000 migrant kids who were placed in the custody of ‘qualified sponsors’. According to whistleblower Tara Rodas, these children were handed to “traffickers, members of transnational criminal organizations, bad actors, bad, bad, bad people.”

• In 2024, Hunter Biden was given a blanket pardon by his dad, covering any crime dating back to Hunter’s days with Burisma, the Ukrainian oil and gas company.

• Attacks by migrants were a regular staple in 2024, with a couple of the biggest incidents being when little girls were stabbed in Southport, England while attending their Taylor Swift dance class, and when Germans were mowed down in the Magdeburg Christmas Market attack. 

• A weird X squabble over H-1B visas erupted in 2024, in which Elon Musk, a darling of conservatives, threw a hissy fit and RTed a post calling Americans ‘subtards’ who were not worth hiring. He then told them “Literally **** you in your face” (censorship added) in another X post, which he deleted shortly afterward. (His DOGE partner, Ramaswamy, hurled similar insults at Americans on X.) Weird that the South African-born tech titan, Musk, would hold such animosity toward the country where he became the richest man in the world through free government subsidies, making him the king of crony capitalism. 

• During the X squabble, conservative influencers who disagreed with Musk started losing their precious blue checkmarks and getting demonetized. 

• In 2024, it was reported that a migrant set a lady on fire on a subway, killing her. However judging by the video it was probably a fake story. The woman stood motionless while her clothes burned. That does not seem possible unless she was wearing special protective clothing. Cops walking by made no attempt to help her. The assailant fanned the flames while someone was recording. Seems very unlikely that nobody would try to help her. And if this story is fake, how many other news items above might be fake? Weird. 

• For me personally, the weirdest thing that happened last year was that I was locked out of my WordPress account when using my laptop. Tech Support confirmed there are no compatibility issues with my operating system or any of the browsers I have tried using. The only way this seems possible is that either my laptop was hacked or my MAC address was blocked by someone. Short of buying a new computer, my only option is to post using my phone. Weird.

Moving forward, the skies are crisscrossed with contrails where I am in Florida this New Year’s Day. The top stories are the vehicle attack in New Orleans by a guy flying an ISIS flag on the back of his pickup truck, and the exploding Cybertruck in front of the Las Vegas Trump Hotel. So, 2025 is not off to a very good start, but what does all this weird news mean? 

Father, give us understanding as we read thy word, in Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Daniel 2:31-48

31  Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.

32  This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,

33  His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.

34  Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.

35  Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

36  This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.

37  Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.

38  And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.

39  And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.

40  And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.

41  And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

42  And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

43  And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

44  And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

45  Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

46  Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.

47  The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldst reveal this secret.

48  Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.

Daniel 2:31-48

One of the conspicuous traits concerning Nebuchadnezzar’s image is the way the metals representing the kingdoms went from the best, beginning with gold, to the worst, ending with iron mixed with potters’ clay. Nebuchadnezzar’s kingdom was the superior kingdom. The full-blown New World Order that will be ushered in after the rapture and led by the Antichrist is the inferior kingdom. Considering all that is taking place in the world today, it is plain to see we are transitioning from the legs of iron to the feet of iron mixed with clay. We saw escalation towards the Magog scenario in many ways in 2024, not the least of which was an Israeli strike on Iran’s consulate in Syria that killed two Iranian generals and five other Iranian officers. Jesus said And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. (Luke 21:28) Things might be weird now, but the time is coming when the Stone cut without hands in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream is going to smash the kingdoms of this world to pieces. Just as Daniel was made chief among the governors of Babylon, if you are ready you will be promoted to rule with Christ when He returns. Unlike the kingdoms of this world, Jesus’ kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom. Jesus will rule honorably. His kingdom will be an affluent Utopia that will make Solomon’s kingdom look like a third-world banana republic. If you want to be part of it, start preparing now by receiving the free gift of everlasting life through faith alone in Christ alone. Jesus warns us Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. Whatever you have done, however weird you may be, Jesus is ready to receive you and forgive you. 

Update 01/05/25:

When I posted this review on New Year’s Day, I left out one of the weirdest stories of 2024: The New Jersey drone sightings. A shameless psyop, it turns out the New Jersey drone story dovetails with the New Year’s Day terror attack in Las Vegas. First of all, virtually nobody (nor yours truly) is buying the story about Matthew Livelsberger killing himself. By all accounts, Livelsberger had a stellar reputation. Everything points to him being a patsy. One weird detail about Livelsberger is that like both Trump assassins, Livelsberger appeared in a military TV reality competition on the History Channel. (Thomas Crooks appeared in a BlackRock commercial, and Ryan Routh appeared in a promo video for the Azov Battalion in Ukraine.) Livelsberger’s body and guns were “burned beyond recognition,” yet his ID, credit cards, and manifestos were miraculously preserved. In his purported manifesto, he was worried about the New Jersey drones, which he said were coming from China and have the ability to “checkmate” the US. What does this weird development have in common with the New Year’s Day New Orleans terror attack? Well both attacks demonized veterans but mainly, they are both being used to sell fear. The mayor of New Orleans is saying we need more hi-tech security. Translation: Digital IDs. Two big themes in 2024 were drones and AI, with steady reminders we all need a digital ID. One weird drone story from 2024 was China’s amphibious robot ball, reminiscent of Rover in the TV series, The Prisoner. Just remember that nothing is as it seems. Above I mentioned the Israeli pager attack. One weird thing that came out of that was how the Mossad characterized their operation in their interview on 60 Minutes. They said “We create a pretend world.” They said, “We are the directors, producers, and main actors; the world is our stage.” That, I feel, is a very succinct way to look at the world in general, as our perception is shaped by not only the Mossad, but the many other intelligence agencies of the world. That is how they operate. They are orchestrating fear and corralling the world into a highly regulated security state, a command and control network where everyone will be closely monitored — exactly like the Bible says will happen. 

In closing, consider that Elon Musk wants X to be the ‘Everything App’. That sounds an awful lot like a precursor to or prototype for the mark of the beast. Even the name, X, points to this likely conclusion. In the original Greek text of the New Testament (ie the Textus Receptus, from which the KJV is translated), the number 666 in Revelation 13:18 is represented by three characters of the Greek alphabet, χξς: 

χ — Chi (600) 

χ has traditionally been a symbol for Christ. If you have a Catholic background you probably recall seeing the banners with the Ρ and Χ (the Chi and Rho Cross), representing Christ. X by itself has therefore become a symbol for Christ, as in Xmas for example. 

ξ—Xi (60)

ξ has the same phonetic sound that the chi symbol would represent in English, ‘X’. 

ς — Stigma (6) 

ς is a ligature of the Greek letters Σ and Τ. Stigma is used to represent a cross, as in ‘stigmata’; a cross turned sideways is an X. A St Andrews cross, for example, is an X. Therefore, the Greek letters for 666 have the coded meaning of XXX, or Christ, Christ, Christ. The Antichrist will claim to be the Christ, but he will be a false Christ. (The falsified texts underlying the new versions of the Bible remove this clue, and write out six hundred and sixty-six, instead of using the Greek letters χξς.)

So, finally, do not be fooled by their fear. 

For example, they are rolling out another tired pandemic narrative with the same PCR nonsensical garbage. Amos Miller just won a major lawsuit that came out of a raid on his Pennsylvania farm in 2024, so he is still allowed to provide healthy organic food to the US. Eating organic food and taking supplements is how we stay healthy, not freaking out and PCR testing everything. 

For example, in New Jersey, there are reportedly spooky orb-shaped drones that are said to defy explanation. However, the Nazis had something very similar called ‘foo fighters’ over eighty years ago. Whatever they come up with, even if they showed us what looked like a new alien species, or evidence of life elsewhere in the solar system, it would only show that they are in league with the Nephilim. (Gen 6) They will never be able to show us a book like the one we have that writes down history before it happens. Only God can do that. 

Father, help us to see clearly through the lies and deception, to trust You and to not be afraid, to make wise decisions, and to be good ambassadors for your Son until He returns for us. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.
