What is Real Worship?

 There's something about our modern church services that has been bothering me for quite some time. It's what they call "the Worship". For most churches, this usually happens at the beginning of the service and consists of a band or musician on a stage singing and playing music and a big screen where the words to the song are posted so everyone can follow along. Afterward as people are leaving the sanctuary, you may hear comments like "Great Worship today"  or "The worship team was really great today".  For some reason, comments like that have always bothered me. To me, in most churches I've attended, I would call the "Worship" more like a concert. The band and singers preform on stage, and the people in the audience watch and sing along if they feel like it. But is this what God calls true worship?

Don't get me wrong. I know that some people in the church are truly worshiping the Lord during "the Worship" .  Their hearts and minds are solely focused on the Lord and they are using the words of the song to express their love for Jesus, their appreciation. Yet, I would venture to say that most people are really not thinking about the Lord at all. They may be singing, but their minds are on lunch or the football game later on, or maybe they're thinking about how good they are singing and they hope others will notice. 

I'm not even talking about much of what is modern day worship songs, many of which focus on man and not on God. (Bring back those old hymns!)  

So what is real worship? What does God call worship? 

We know from John 4:24 that  " God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."

  But what does that mean? 

First of all "truth" means we need to be sincere in Who we are worshiping and Why and keep our thoughts on Him and not on ourselves. 

In the Spirit means that we should allow God's Holy Spirit within us to guide our worship, whether it be in song, proclamations, thanksgiving, tongues, or quiet adoration. 

God has what He calls "Acceptable Worship".  If you study the word "worship" throughout the Bible, you'll see many many examples of what God calls False worship. People who honor Him with their lips but their hearts are far from Him, along with people who worship other gods. 

  Let us therefore, receiving a kingdom that is firm and stable and cannot be shaken, offer to God pleasing service and acceptable worship, with modesty and pious care and godly fear and awe; Hebrews 12:28

Notice the conditions. Modesty, Pious Care, Godly Fear, and Awe.  Basically be humble, devoted, reverent and in awe of God Himself. 

But what does Real Worship look like practically?  Is it singing, lifting one's hands, being grateful. 

James gives us some practical physical examples of real external worship

External religious worship that is pure and unblemished in the sight of God the Father is this: to visit and help and care for the orphans and widows in their affliction and need, and to keep oneself unspotted and uncontaminated from the world. James 1:27 

Interesting. So when we help the poor and needy, when we give of ourselves to others, we are actually worshiping God!  

AND when we separate ourselves from this sinful world and pursue holiness and don't purposely willfully sin, then we are also worshiping God!

These are great examples of worship, as is singing and lifting ones hands, and being grateful. In truth, however, real worship starts in the heart. You can do all of the above and not really be worshiping if in your heart you don't either know the Lord or really love Him. Giving to the poor, avoiding sin, singing, etc are all outward signs of worship, but they may or may not reflect what's in your heart. 

Here's the real test. What is spiritual worship? Worship that comes from the heart, a heart wholly devoted to God.. 

I appeal to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of all the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies, presenting all your members and faculties, as a living sacrifice, holy, devoted, consecrated and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable service and spiritual worship. Romans 12:1

Real Worship is submitting all we are, all we have, and even our entire bodies to God for His service, to use as He wants. To allow Him to sanctify us (make us holy), to be Lord of our lives! Notice Paul says that after what God has done for us, doing this is reasonable. In other words, it's the least we can do!

So, is worship singing, dancing, being grateful, helping the poor, lifting our hands in praise, speaking in tongues, being kind to others, allowing God to sanctify us, avoiding sin?  Yes! All of the above and more.  But only as it comes from a person who loves Jesus with all their heart and is fully submitted to Him. 

As I studied this, I realized that many things I do during the day are worship. Every time I am led by the Holy Spirit and I obey. Every time I go out of my way to help someone or give to the poor, or visit the sick. Every time I get on my knees and thank God for all His blessings. Every moment I spend reading His Word and Praying. Every time I resist the devil and his temptations. Every time I open my mouth and share the Gospel and His love with someone else. ALL these things are worship if I truly love God!

So, don't limit your worship to a band on Sunday morning. Know that God sees all your little acts of worship throughout the week and He smiles down at every one of them! 

 

 

  

 

Look How the People Cheer for Their Own Demise!

Dear Saints,

I felt led by the Lord to offer more clarity to the difference between the Rapture and the Second Coming for those out there who are still undecided or confused. 

The Rapture was a mystery not revealed in the Old Testament (1 Corinthians 15:51-55)

The Second coming is clearly revealed in the OT and NT (Ezekiel 37,39; Daniel 7, Zechariah 12, 14; Jude 1, Hebrews 9)

 

In the Rapture, Christ comes for His Bride (John 14, 1 Corinthians 15, 2 Corinthians 11, Ephesians 5, 1 Thessalonians 4)

In the Second Coming Christ comes WITH His Bride (1 Thess 3, Revelation 19)

 

In the Rapture, the Church meets Jesus in the Air (1 Thess 4) The phrase here "caught up" is the Greek word Harpazo meaning to "snatch away" to "carry away by force" as if from danger.

In the Second Coming Jesus descends to the Earth, landing on the Mount of Olives (Zechariah 14, Acts 1) 

 

In the Rapture, only the Church will see Him (1 Corinthians 15, 1 Thess 4)

In the Second Coming, Every eye will see Him (Matthew 24, Revelation 1) 

 

In the Rapture, Jesus's return cannot be calculated to the day and hour, though true Saints will know the season. (Matt 24:36-44; Mark 13:32-37; 1 Thess 5:1-11

In the Second Coming, the exact date Jesus returns can be calculated based on the numbers given in the book of Revelation and Daniel

 

In the Rapture, no further signs are required in our present day. Everything is coming to pass in our generation, including the major one in which Israel became a nation again in 1948

Before the Second Coming, many signs must occur and many events are prophesied which have not yet occurred. (Daniel 9, 11, 12; Joel 2; Matthew 24; And the book of Revelation)

 

In the Rapture, the church is taken Before the Tribulation (Romans 5:9, 8:1; 1 Thess 1:9-10, 5:8-11; Revelation 3:10-11) In Revelation 3:190, the word "from" is the Greek word EK which means "Out of" 

In the Second Coming Jesus AND the church return at the end of the Tribulation (Matthew 24:29-31) 

 

In the Rapture, Jesus comes with rewards and blessings for the saints. (Revelation 22:12)

In the Second Coming, Jesus comes to judge (Revelation 19:11-16)

I hope that brings further clarity to everyone. There are a lot more verses to corroborate, but I encourage you to study the ones I've listed here. 

But the big question remains, What is the timing of the Rapture? As I've mentioned before, I believe the Rapture occurs in Three phases that connect with the three major Harvest times in Ancient Israel. So, yes, I believe that all three viewpoints (Pre-Trib, Mid-Trib and Post-Trib) are all true. However, I do believe that those of us who are truly commited to Jesus, living for Him, being led by His Spirit are part of the Pre-Trib group. Our work here is done and Jesus will bring us home first. So, having said that, based on all the events happening in the World today, the alignment of stars, signs in the heavens, corruption of mankind, wickedness, and the rising Beast System, I believe we could leave at any moment!  

Please check out this video right below (Click to Blog if you can't see it) It will bless you!!

So, let's dive into some more signs that happened this week. 

Just when I couldn't be shocked anymore, Trump has done it again. He is currently putting in place everything he needs to make America a police state. He is doing exactly what our forefathers warned about and the reason they wanted limited government, every citizen to own a gun, and no functioning army on the homeland run by the government. Now, we have all three of those. Yes, some citizens still do own guns, despite their efforts to the contrary. 

So, I'm going to focus on Trump's silent take over of this nation, and he's doing it right beneath the adoring eyes of his followers, still most mesmerized by his false promises and lies.  

First here's a five minute video on the topic from Reese Report

Check out the Video below. If you don't see it, click to my blog to view

  Here are just a few of the things Trump has done to step us all closer to mass surveillance, martial law and essentially the Beast Empire.

JUST IN - Trump's Pentagon plans to create a "Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force" with hundreds of National Guard troops to swiftly deploy to U.S. cities during protests or civil unrest.. 

 U.S. Homeland Security will acquire advanced iris biometric scanning technology from Bi² Technologies for ICE to identify individuals "in seconds from virtually anywhere."

This week, the Trump administration has officially invoked the "Home Rule Act," deployed National Guard troops to DC, and federalized capitol police, all in an effort to "liberate" America's capital. He also stated he plans to enact these same measures in other cities such as Chicago, New York City, etc. if needed.  Ah how lovely, right? He's taking care of crime. He's cleaning up American cities, right? It all sounds wonderful. To me it sounds like a steppingstone to nationwide martial law. The question is, how long until the military is in all major cities under the guise of “combating crime?” How long until this turns America into a full-fledged police state?

This is not about homelessness, petty crimes, or cleaning up American cities. This is nationwide Hegelian Dialectic.  First they defund the police and make law enforcement and the Justice system very lenient on crime. Many liberal states also reverted what were once criminal offenses to misdemeanors. They hand out slaps on the wrist for criminal activity such as theft, gang activity, drug trafficking/use, etc.  Some states have canceled the need to pay bail. This was all by design because the result was more crime, higher violence rates and general mayhem on our streets. Exactly what they wanted. 

So, the public cries out for help and in comes the Trump regime to save the day and clean up our cities But how will they do that? They will eventually need a system of mass surveillance, digital iDs, Palantir (thought policing), and other forms of digital tyranny. 

Bring in the Concentration camps. 

Heard about Aligator Alcatraz? The new form of federal prison. We are also hearing about the reopening of insane asylums and the construction of new federal prisons (ex. Alligator Alcatraz) around the country.

Indiana Partners With DHS To Create "Speedway Slammer," Borrowing Inspiration From Alligator Alcatraz   

Why are these new prisons being proposed and built?  They will start with imprisoning the criminals and undesirables, but they will end with the imprisonment of people labeled as "religious extremists and political dissenters". Which will then lead to Christian Persecution. 

Look what Trump has accomplished in so little time:

• Real iD (Digital iD steppingstone)
• Backdoor CBDC (GENIUS Act)
• Patriot Act 2.0 (Big Beautiful Bill)
• Database of Americans (Palantir), and
• The Introduction of Martial Law

 Pentagon plan would create military ‘reaction force’ for civil unrest 

Have you heard about Rex 84B, short for Readiness Exercise 1984 Bravo? I hadn't. Apparently, it was a classified scenario and drill developed by the United States federal government to detain large numbers of United States residents deemed to be "national security threats" in the event that the president declared a National Emergency. The scenario envisioned state defense forces rounding up to 500,000 undocumented Central American residents and 4,000 American citizens whom the US Attorney General had designated as "national security threats" as part of the secret Continuity of Government program. These people would be detained at 22 military bases in concentration camps run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.  Here is more info on this. Does it not seem like this is what they were preparing for?

Latest Surveillance Technologies in 2025

(From Marty Breeden, Marty's 2 minute warning)

1. AI-Powered Video Analytics - Before we had only video surveillance. Now we have AI systems that detect unusual behavior, anomalies, or potential threats and send instant alerts.
 

2. Edge Computing - Modern cameras can analyze footage locally instead of sending data to central servers. 

3. Cloud-Native & IoT Integration - Surveillance platforms are shifting to cloud-based infrastructure, offering scalable storage, remote access, and seamless integration with other IoT systems—like smart locks, alarms, and lighting—for coordinated responses.

4. Thermal Imaging & Smart Sensors - Thermal cameras and environmental sensors enhance detection under low-light or challenging conditions by identifying heat signatures. 

5. Autonomous Drone Surveillance - Drones equipped with thermal cameras and obstacle-avoidance tech are increasingly used for dynamic, large-area surveillance. 

6. Mobile Surveillance Units (MSUs) - These portable systems combine surveillance cameras, strobe lights, and audio alerts and offer a cost-effective substitute for stationary guards.

7. Wide-Area Motion Imagery (WAMI) - WAMI systems use airborne cameras and software to survey and archive entire cityscapes in real-time, enabling monitoring of hundreds of moving targets simultaneously—useful for security, law enforcement, and disaster response.

8. Biometric & 5G Surveillance - Increased use of biometrics—like facial, iris, and gait recognition—for access control and identification. 

 

9. Quantum-AI for Real-Time Detection - Emerging research explores Quantum‑AI models like Quantum-RetinaNet for faster and more accurate detection of contraband, promising breakthroughs in real-time surveillance 

 

Honestly, after reviewing all the above information, how can any rational person still be cheering Trump on? Hence the Title of this Post. They are building our prison right before our eyes and the people would have it so.  

And Now a few items from the rest of the news! 

Temple

 

Rumor has it that they actually did sacrifice a qualified Red Heifer on July 1st in secret

 RED HEIFER SACRIFICE WAS REAL! According to Adam King on Timcast IRL, the Red Heifer ceremony has been completed in secret so the “Messiah” can return to build the Third Temple. This confirms Byron Stinson's claims that it was a REAL ceremony and not a mock ritual.

He claims ashes in his possession are from the real ceremony and “MIRACLES” are being done with the ashes. 

Most importantly, he says they're waiting for TRUMP to build the TEMPLE! 

 

Christian Persecution

 

New report reveals that over 7K Christians have been killed in Nigeria so far in 2025   (In just 8 months!)

WAR

“Iran has not accepted defeat. They are negotiating with China to acquire advanced air defense systems and fighter jets, and their proxies in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon are being mobilized for a coordinated attack. 

We are weeks away from a major escalation, and Israel will not hesitate to strike first to protect our people.”
 

WW3 ALERT Trump warns "there will be very severe consequences" for Russia if Putin doesn't agree to stop Ukraine war after Friday. 

Vaccine/MOB

A few days after everyone celebrated that RFK Jr. finally publicly discussed that Covid shots were not safe or effective ,he. announced a new “universal vaccine” being developed by NIH. 

“It's a vaccine that mimics natural immunity and it is effective against any kind of mutation.” “We believe it's gonna be effective against not only coronaviruses but also flu.” “And it's gonna be a much safer and a much more effective vaccine.” 

A universal vaccine, eh? This has been the plan all along. Mark my words,  it will be tied to the Digital ID.  Read the linked article above. Looks like they will still make this an mRNA vaccine. .

What Will You Be Doing In Eternity?

 I came across these great pictures online and wanted to share them with you. Some of you have been asking what we will do in Heaven and beyond. A picture is the best way to illustrate!

Update:  This morning this video appeared in my You Tube Feed. This was after I posted this post. It's a beautiful video about this very topic. Check it out! 

 

AND

If you saw your talent and interests in one of these, (and even if you didn't) rest assured God will place you where you will not only flourish but will find joy and fulfillment.  And if you didn't get to fulfill God's destiny for you on this Earth, You WILL fulfill it in Heaven! We have so much to look forward to. Thank you, Jesus!

I hope that encourages you all and helps you get excited for our soon departure! 

 

Rapture or Second Coming?

 

 Matthew 24 is often called by theologians the spine of Eschatology (End Times prophecy). Which essentially means it is used as the springboard to all other End Times Scriptures throughout the Bible. Similar passages are found in Mark and Luke, but Matthew 24 goes into more detail.

 

In verse 3, the Disciples asked Jesus 3 Questions:  Tell us, when will this take place, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?  Jesus then goes into a lengthy description of events that will occur slightly before the Tribulation, during the Tribulation, at the mid-point of the Tribulation and then all the way up to His Second Coming found here in verse 30

 

Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn and beat their breasts and lament in anguish, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 

 

Let's look at the word "coming" in this verse.  It's the Greek Word Erchomai   It means:  " to come from one place to another, and used both of persons arriving and of those returning; to appear, make one's appearance, come before the public

Then verse 31 describes how Jesus's angels will gather all the saints together. 

 

And he shall send his Angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect, from the four winds, and from the one end of the heavens unto the other. 
  

Some people think this is the rapture, but notice He gathers the elect not only from the Earth but the Heavens as well. These are the people already in heaven and those of us who were earlier raptured. And I'll prove it to you below. 

 

Verse 32 is very interesting. It starts out with the Greek Word δέ 

It translates poorly into English as "Now, then, and" but if you look it up, it indicates a change of topic. 

 

The Greek word δέ (dé) primarily functions as a conjunction or conjunctive particle, and its most common English translations include but, and, then, or now. It can indicate a shift in thought, a continuation, or a contrast within a sentence or discourse,  marking the superaddition of a clause, whether in opposition or in continuation, to what has preceded. 

 

In other words, it can mean a complete shift in topic. It would be like saying "Now, let's talk about something else."

 

32: Now learn the parable of the fig tree: when her bough is yet tender, and it putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near.  

 

Jesus goes on to talk about the days of Noah and then he describes the rapture in verses 40-41

 

At that time two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. Two women will be grinding at the hand mill; one will be taken and one will be left.. 

 

Let me make a brief note about the words used here.  In both cases the word for Taken is the Greek Word paralambanō, which means to take to, to take with one's self, to join to one's self as an associate, a companion 

 

The Greek Word for Left is aphiēmi which means to forsake, send away as a husband divorcing a wife, to disregard, let go 

 

So, don't let anyone tell you that the people who leave in the rapture are the bad people, the sinners, the reprobates. And yes, I've heard some pastors preach that.  

 

Let me get to my main point: Before Jesus describes the rapture, He compares the end times to the Days of Noah

 

 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.  For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,  and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.  

 

Do you know what the Greek Word "coming" in this sentence means? It's a completely different word from the one used above when Jesus describes His Second Coming.  It is Parousia which means Presence, Arrival, being near. Whereas the one in the prior verse, erchomai, is more about the physical action of coming and going.  Honestly, they are both very close in meaning, but I found it fascinating that a different word was used in the verse about Noah and the rapture!

 

Greek words carry much more meaning than our English words. For example there are at least 4 distinct words in Greek that mean love, each one describing a different kind of love.

 

Here's another example relating to the rapture.  

 

. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne. Revelation 12:4-5

 

You can find an indepth study of this verse in a post I made 8 years ago.

 

 The first child in the verse underlined is the Greek Word Teknon   Meaning: daughter, son, figuratively used as children of God

 

The second Child in bold is the Greek Word huios 
Meaning: son, kingshiip, Son of Man, Son of God, Son of David, my beloved Son.  This word stressed the quality and essence of one so resembling another that distinctions between the two are indiscernible 

 

The last child in red in the passage is back to the word Teknon. 

It's obvious that John was talking about 2 very different children here. One being the children of God and the other being the Son of God. Jesus was never caught up to the throne of God. Caught up is the Greek Word Harpazo. Meaning: to Snatch or catch away, take by force  

 

My point?  The Children of God are caught up to heaven as in raptured. Those that are taken are taken as companions and friends. That event is a different event from the second coming when Jesus places His feet on the Mount of Olives. I could list a dozen more Scriptural reasons why these two "comings" are very different events. But I'll stop for now. 

 

We got all of that just by studying the true Greek Meanings of the words!  

I love the Bible. It's so rich and amazing. We could never in this life discover all its treasures! 

 

We serve an amazing God!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two months Left? How, then, should we live?

Dear Holy and Greatly-loved Saints of the Most High,

I don't know about you, but time seems to be flying by. My grandkids head back to school this week and next! I remember when I was a kid, school didn't start until September. It's still warm and sunny out. Kids should be out playing. But then again, none are anyway. They are all inside staring at their tablets. What a horrible generation to grow up in. I cry out for the children every day and ask God to rescue them soon, because how many will be able to survive this new AI-Tech generation? 

Anyway, the world continued to race toward Tribulation this week, as you will see below. Honestly, I'm sick of the news. Nothing surprises me anymore. Everything they do moves the world closer to Global and Digital dominance. And people love it! It's so convenient to have everything digital! Easy to pay, buy, to get on a plane, enter a concert, keep in touch with family and friends....etc. Even get a date!  And that's how they will get the majority of the people. By convenience at first. And then later, by coercion and threat of death. 

The trap is set. The Bait is placed. And the sheep willingly run to their slaughter. 

September?  There's a ton of talk in the Watchman community about a September Rapture. People are having dreams, visions, seeing Jesus. One pastor in Africa said the Lord appeared to him and told him September 2025. I'll post another video here below from a woman who also heard from the Lord about September. In addition, prophets are sensing the soon start of the Tribulation. I remember all the hype of 8 years ago surrounding the Revelation 12 sign. (Which I believe was real and happened)  I also believe it was a warning to the world that Jesus was coming. It's been 7 years on the Hebrew calendar and 8 on the Gregorian. Both numbers have high significance Biblically. Seven is God's number and also the number of "days" Noah was instructed to remain in the Ark before the flood began. 8 is the number of Jesus and perfection.  So what do I think?

I'm cautiously excited. I try to not put much weight on dreams and visions and supposed "words" people receive. Mainly because I don't know these people personally and its hard to judge one's fruit online. And honestly, there are some who are just out to make money. I also don't like that there seems to be a ton of hype about Rosh Hashana again. I wonder if it might be just another let down, a trick of the enemy. YET, having said that, I do trust the Holy Spirit within me and I do sense the rapidly approaching Tribulation, both in my spirit and in all the signs I see. Whenever I ask the Lord to tell me how close we are, He always responds. "Look at the signs. What do you see?"  It makes me smile because that's just like Him, isn't it? 

So, let's say we only have a few months left here? What should we be doing? The Lord led me to 1 Peter where Peter describes for us the answer to that question. 

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.....
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. 

 In other words, don't just sit around watching rapture videos and looking for new watch dates!  Grow in the Lord! Stay in the Word. Stay in communication with Jesus. Allow Him to change you to be more like Him. And be cautious and diligent against false doctrines and the enemy's tricks. Be LED by the Holy Spirit in all things, for then you will be the true Sons of God. 

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Romans 8:14

And warn as many as you can to turn to Jesus now while they still have the chance. Allow the Holy Spirit to direct you as to what to say and who to say it to. He will.  

And pray. Fast if you are led. Pray for your family. Pray for your friends. Pray for the apostate church. Pray like you never have before. 

And don't be stuck on a certain date or time. Put all that in God's timing, which is always perfect. We can trust Him. He will never fail us.  

If you're reading this in Email, I encourage you to click over to my Blog because there's a bunch of short videos that are important to watch.  

Now, for further encouragement, Here's a great video about September that I pray will bless you. 

  The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come. Joel 2:31

This is a warning message from The Lord God to most of the world. A supermoon and a red blood moon. The largest the moon can look to us on earth on the 7th-8th September 2025.

Because he already knew that at the end of the month 23rd September 2025, the UN would hold it's 80th General Assembly in New York, to discuss recognizing Palestine 🇵🇸 as a state, therefore splitting the land He gave to Abraham as an everlasting covenant to his descendants.

Thought this was interesting. Seems all the nations are coming against Israel just like the Bible says.

 Also see below. Very interesting, particularly the timing. I tend to believe they will explain away the rapture with the appearance of these demonic fallen angels (whoops, I mean aliens)  And now, conveniently, we have an alien spaceship on the way!

 

"There will be three types of emergencies in the next five years."

"First, a cyber attack on financial or energy systems... Solution offered? Digital wallets, biometric ID and CBDCs."

"The second wave: Environmental emergency or climate lockdown... 2025 to 2030 is the final stretch of the UN's Agenda 2030 targets. Pilot programs for 15-minute cities, personal carbon quotas and smart meters are already underway."

"The third wave: Financial reset... A debt crisis followed by debt jubilee programs for compliant citizens. Universal basic income linked to digital ID and vaccine or health behavior."

And Now this Week's News

 China-Taiwan

 

China is Now Massing Troops in Fujian, Opposite Taiwan. The Chinese army has carried out a massive deployment of military personnel to Fujian, a city close to Taiwan. According to local sources, only the invasion order of President Xi Jinping is awaited. China's Defense Minister, Dong Jun, stated publicly "If China’s sovereignty over Taiwan is threatened, U.S. military bases in Japan and South Korea will become legitimate targets. Beijing will not tolerate foreign interference."
Taiwan has raised its state of maximum alert across the country in anticipation of a possible imminent Chinese attack. Meanwhile, British Defense Minister John Healy, publicly stated today that "Britain is ready to fight in the Pacific if Taiwan is invaded."  China belittled him by publicly laughing and saying "Britain has more Admirals than warships."

 

Israel is about to take over Gaza and root out Hamas they are claiming. Apparently Trump has given them the green light. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed on Thursday that the Israel Defense Forces will begin a new offensive to occupy the entire Gaza Strip in an effort to root out Hamas - Axios

I hear Putin and Trump have set up a meeting. I know that China and Russia are planning a direct attack on our mainland. (Hopefully after we leave) so I don't put any weight on these "peace" meetings. In fact, they only encourage me that we are close because the Bible says "For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape." (1 Thess 5:3)

 

Also heard Indian and Cambodia lobed some missiles at each other again.

We watch and wait. 

Plagues and Pestilences 

 There seems to be some huge virus in China (Yet again) that is growing rapidly.  Global outbreak fears surge as virus in China prompts quarantines and thousands of new cases are reported

 

We also had some flesh-eating bacteria killing people this week too. 

 

This Week RFK Jr. announced he was canceling all mRNA vaccines due to their danger. What a win for the people, you might think. But it makes me suspicious. If you read what he said, he's merely moving funds from one type of vaccine to another. No doubt to give the MAGA people a win and keep them believing in "the Plan".   

The Digital Transhumanism Takeover 

 Interestingly enough, Gates is suggesting putting your smartphone on an electronic tattoo. (Are they reading the Bible?)

 

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Revelation 14:16-17

Bill Gates announced the end of the era of smartphones. They will be replaced by electronic tattoos: what is it about?

 

If they can't get you to take their vaccine, they'll put it in the air you breathe!  Do you see how close we are to going home? God will not allow this to happen to His Children.

 Digital ID and the Palantir Control Grid

 Catherine Austin Fitts:  "They put Trump in to get the control grid... and he gets an A+++. He's done a fabulous job." They won’t take him out, he was SELECTED for this very reason. The Epstein and Q conspiracies were a trick to entice voters to trust him.   Her Video Below

 

Michael Yeadon:  "If you sign up for Digital ID, it’ll be the last truly free decision you ever make."

Dr. Michael Yeadon, a toxicologist & former Pfizer executive, issues a dire warning: Digital ID isn’t convenience—it’s control. Once adopted, governments & institutions will recognize you only through this system. You cease to exist as a person. You become a QR code—an address to resources that can be edited, restricted, or revoked at will. Video Below 

The European Union is preparing to launch its digital euro in October 2025…  (Just 3 months from now!)

Christine Lagarde, president of the European Central Bank said, “It is piloted on a fairly large scale in China, where it is of use and of service to all citizens…” "…If it is well done, and if it is well implemented, it would be of service to all (European) citizens…” China was their beta test. Now, the same programs that have been in use in China for many years (digital yuan, mass surveillance, social credit, etc.) are making their way westward

 People love to claim global government is “conspiracy,” but clearly all the nations are in lockstep with one another, simply rolling out the same agenda(s) at various times and in differing phases…

The infrastructure of the beast system is slowly coming together and every nation is playing a role in birthing it

 AI- The Beast Empire

 Elon Musk is introducing a new Ai companion named Valentine as part of his Grok chatbot on X. Unlike typical chatbots, Valentine is designed with a distinct personality and charm, aiming for deeper, more engaging interactions. The interesting part is the post he just made on X introducing this new Ai is a re-creation of Lucifer on NETFLIX.

Calvinism, the Error that Can Lead to Death

 

Saints, I felt led to mention this branch of theology that has crept into the church over the past several years. I first thought that it's influence was limited, but the more I learn about our present day church, the more I see Calvinism has made its way into nearly every modern church. Perhaps not in its fullest form, but parts of it.  Please don't click away. This is very important to your salvation and to you being raptured.  Did you know that John MacArthur was a Calvinist?  He's probably the most visible and famous one of late.  Oddly enough I wrote this post on Saturday and on Sunday the pastor I love to listen to spoke on the very same thing!  Here's a link to his sermon if you're interested. 

Calvinism is a branch of Protestant theology that emerged from the teachings of the 16th-century reformer John Calvin (1509–1564), a French theologian and pastor during the Reformation. At its core, Calvinism emphasizes the sovereignty of God, the authority of Scripture, and the total dependence of human beings on God's grace for salvation.  Sounds good, doesn't it? But let's dive a little deeper. 

The Five Tenets of Calvinism: T.U.L.I.P.

These are often summarized using the acronym TULIP

1. T – Total Depravity

    Human beings are completely affected by sin in every part of their being—mind, will, emotions, and flesh. No one can choose God or do good without divine intervention. 

2. U – Unconditional Election

 God's choice to save individuals is based solely on His will and not on any foreseen merit, action, or decision on the part of the person.  Salvation is not earned or even initiated by us—it's a result of God's sovereign grace.

 3. L – Limited Atonement (also called Particular Redemption)

    Christ's death on the cross was specifically intended to save only the elect (those God has chosen).   Jesus didn’t just make salvation possible—He actually accomplished it for those whom He came to save.

 4. I – Irresistible Grace

    When God calls someone to salvation (the "effectual call"), that person cannot ultimately resist.  The Holy Spirit changes the heart so that the person freely and willingly responds in faith. The person has no choice. 

5. P – Perseverance of the Saints

    Those whom God has elected and drawn to Himself will continue in faith and will not fall away. True believers may stumble, but they will persevere to the end because God preserves them. Once saved, Always Saved

First of all, yes, they have Scriptures to back up what they believe, and in truth, if you don't know the totality of the Bible, you could easily say, "yeah, that makes sense."  The problem with these Calvinists is that they look at God through the lens of TIME, whereas our God exists outside of time. That is why some passages in the Bible seem to contradict each other in terms of election to salvation. 

 Why am I bringing this up?  This belief can lead to some horrific results

 

1. Some people may believe that they are not chosen and cannot ever be saved so they will not accept Jesus no matter how much they are led to

 

2. People who believe they are chosen by God and are saved believe they are "special" which can lead to arrogance.

 

3. People who believe they are God's chosen and are saved believe they can never lose that salvation, no matter what sins they commit or wicked lifestyle they choose.  This particular idea has crept even into churches who don't believe in Calvinism, and it is a highly deceptive belief that will lead many to hell.   

 

Here are the problems with Calvinism (taken from this Article, the author of which did a great job, including listing many Scriptures for your reference!) 

 

1. Calvinism denies man’s free will to obey or disobey God, which is the basis of man’s responsibility and accountability, as taught by the Bible
 

2. Calvinism denies that each individual is responsible and accountable for their own sins committed in their own life, and will not be damned for the sins of anyone else, as the Bible teaches:
 

3. Calvinism denies that Christ died for everyone and His unlimited atonement is available for everyone and that those for whom Christ died can still perish if they reject Him as the Bible teaches. 
 

4. Calvinism denies that God loves everyone and wants all sinners to repent and be saved as taught by the Bible:
 

5. Calvinism promotes Once Saved Always Saved and denies the possibility of falling away from the faith as taught by the Bible 
 

Martin Luther said, “Be a sinner and sin boldly… No sin can separate us from Him, even if we were to kill or commit adultery thousands of times each day.”

Westminster Confession of Faith said, “They whom God hath accepted in His Beloved, effectually called and sanctified by his Spirit, can neither totally nor finally fall away from the state of grace; but shall certainly persevere therein to the end, and be eternally saved.”
 

6. Calvinism denies man’s role, responsibility, and choice to cooperate with God in regeneration or in the changing of his heart as taught by the Bible
 

7. Calvinism denies that there is deliverance available from all sin in Jesus Christ, or the possibility of overcoming sin in this life by the grace of God as taught by the Bible 
 

8. Calvinism denies that man’s choice to repent of all his sins is a necessary condition of forgiveness, but rather teaches that once saved we are no longer obligated to follow any moral law—especially the Ten Commandments or ethical teachings of Scripture. (Antinomianism), as opposed to what the Bible teaches
 

I was shocked by this quote from Spurgeon!

 

Charles Spurgeon said, “You must not expect that you will be perfect in ‘repentance’ before you are saved. No Christian can be perfect. “Repentance” is a grace. Some people preach it as a condition of salvation. Condition of nonsense! There are no conditions of salvation. God gives the salvation himself…”

9. Calvinism states that God is the author of sin and the sovereign cause of its entrance into the world

 
Martin Luther said, “Since, therefore, God moves and does all in all, He necessarily moves and does all in Satan and the wicked man…”

Martin Luther said, “God worketh all things in all men even wickedness in the wicked…”

John Calvin said, “Whatever things are done wrongly and unjustly by man, these very things are the right and just works of God.” 

 

So what do we do with all these Bible passages that talk about how God foreknew us and predestined us to be conformed to the image of His Son and uses some people for good purposes and some for ignoble purposes? 

 

Calvinism looks at the Bible and God through the lens of Time. God is outside of Time. When He looks at you and me and the Earth and everyone on it, He sees the END of it all. He also sees the Beginning and everything in between. It's like an author of a book. I can pick up one of the novels I've written off the shelf and flip through it. Each page represents a point in time, a particular scene in someones life, but I already know the ending of the story. I'm outside of the story.

 

God is the same way. Before He even formed you in your mother's womb, He already knew whether you would choose Him. He already knew everything you would do in your life and everything that would happen to you!  So, when He says, He foreknew and predestined you to be saved, it's because He already knows you're going to accept Him.

 

To believe in anything else is to say that mankind has NO FREE WILL. If that is true, then why did Adam and Eve sin in the Garden? They were already pure and holy and walking with God. Why did He give them free will? The Bible is clear. There are thousands more Scriptures that tell us how much God loves the entire world and how Jesus came to save whosoever would believe in Him. 

 

Calvinism is a dangerous theology. The Jesus in Calvinism is not the real Jesus. The Jesus in Calvinism offers salvation only to a limited few and gives them zero choice in the matter. The Jesus in Calvinism saves those He chooses and doesn't care how they live their lives or how wicked or sinful they are after salvation. 

 

I'm sorry, but that isn't the Jesus I know. So, be careful. My fear is that if you are clinging to the wrong Jesus when the trumpet blows, you may not be called up!
