Exit Strategy End Times: “One Pandemic, the two Eagles, one purpose.” Part 2

blowing shofar3“Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!”

“One Pandemic, the two Eagles, One World, one purpose.”

Control is the default way, in their minds, to accomplish their plans, whatever those plans are. When you see an effort to control… no matter how subtly, especially when subtle,  look out.

In part one I said “There is evidence of the “progress” that the “Progressives” are making. It was spoken of centuries ago in the two Eagles. It has reached “Global” proportions.”

I spoke of the two Eagles in Ezekiel 17:3-7 and how they are a prophecy of America. “The two eagles in the scripture offer the “promised land” view of America at her onset as well as a second distressing current and ominous future view of our land.

Is this America? Do these two eagles sound like and look like America as she once was, and worse as she is now?

I asked the question, “Has any nation turned away from God and survived?”

Has God’s sorting begun? Is the biblical falling away of believers, the apostasy, already happening? Ask yourself, is America as a whole moving toward God or away?

I concluded part 1 with something I seriously doubt you have ever heard before. It is an obscure prophecy from Zechariah 3,  depicting Jesus (Joshua) ascending a first time, returning to earth to prove His resurrection, and then ascending a second time which we read about in Acts chapter 1.The Acts 1 account was also prophesied in advance by Daniel in chapter 7: 13. “I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, …”

I quoted Amos 3:7 (NASB)
“Surely the Lord GOD does nothing Unless He reveals His secret counsel To His servants the prophets.”

If we want to know what God is going to do or allow, God speaks first to His prophets as we also see in Ezekiel’s word about the two eagles. Ezekiel 17:1-24

Most, including pastors, are unaware that the prophets spoke of not just one ascension by Jesus, as in the Book of Acts 1 but of an ascension earlier, by Jesus, just after exiting the tomb, as revealed in  Zechariah 3:1-10. If you care, read it! I have never heard this preached before but the Holy Spirit revealed it to me. FYI, the sages do believe the dirty clothes Jesus put on upon exiting the tomb, were the gardeners clothes belonging to Joseph of Arimathea from working in his garden near the tomb he had prepared for himself.

I believe The Holy Spirit revealed to me that they were the same filthy garments worn by Joshua (Jesus) as described in Zech 3:1-10, where Jesus ascended once the women at the tomb had departed from Him in John 20:14-17 Note in vs15, “Supposing Him to be the gardener…” and vs 17: “Stop clinging to Me for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go and say to my brethren ‘I ascend to My Father and your Father…”

Jesus learned His future from the prophets. We can also. Two Eagles! Now in 2026, look at the democratic shift to Socialism. Read it for yourself. Ezekiel 17:1-24.

Daniel 7:14 (NASB) (about the second, Acts 1 ascension)
14  “And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and men of every language might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed.”

This second ascension is the Coronation of Christ.

Please consider what I am explaining about the two eagles and America. Why? To know the future is to be on guard. Time is running out as demonstrated by the signs. Many are unprepared to love as God loves, to endure by that holy love, to be saved. Matt 24:13-14.

1 Thessalonians 3:12-13 (NASB)
12  and may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also do for you;
13  so that He may establish your hearts without blame in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints.”

Look at the symbols in Ezekiel 17: 3. The first Eagle (government) gets its beginning seeds from the “cedars of Lebanon “(our Judaeo / Christian beliefs) bringing those seeds to another land, (America) a land of “merchants”, he set “in a city of traders.”
The roots were deep and healthy because of the Eagle’s seeds were sown in ground (a national heart) that was hungry. In those very difficult beginnings people turned to the God they brought with them, the same biblical foundations upon which our nation and government were birthed, and quite successfully.

Much later, a second Eagle, a government in transition, in verse 7, influenced the land, (a corrupted government adverse to God and His Ways ) much of the land (the vine) turned its roots upward toward the second Eagle for supply and away from the biblical ground it was rooted in, away from the living water of our original beliefs and God. Are you seeing this? Has the vine turned totally?

So far there are two areas of vine. That second area of “withering vine” is looking to the government for supply. Now it appears a slight majority of our population, is on that course away from God. Not all of the vine has gone astray but much has.

Is this so called apostasy formed by a majority of American people today? NO, it is not. You cannot fall away from where you ain’t went! Those who do not believe in God are already dead except they sincerely come to know Him via new life in Christ Jesus.  Even that is no guarantee. Unprepared or immature believers likely will not be able to stand firm in the faith as the national vine dries up and dies spiritually. We all are supposed to exercise and develop our faith.

This is a prophetic trap purposely set up against (in this case) Americans and especially Christians. If he can cause our love to whither, look at the second Eagle’s trap. John 15:2a (NASB) (Yes the word of God can be a trap, if we do not heed the warning within it.)
“Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; …”

Notice they were IN HIM at one time!  There is an escape plan for us, in following Jesus.

As I said before, in an effort to convince you, to reach you, with insight that God is revealing to us for His name’s sake, so He will end up actually being “Salvation” to us, please read on in the next Part 3, There is more…

If we are in His grip, how far from His heart can we be?

Exit Strategy End Times: “One Pandemic, the two Eagles, one purpose.” Part 1

blowing shofar3“Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!”

“One Pandemic, the two Eagles, One World, one purpose.”

Desperate people do desperate things! In a lost and dying world, why would we expect anything less?

Those who point to Christians as “those end of the world people” do so based on their efforts to keep the world from continuing as it was. They use climate, pollution, population control. They believe these things, if controlled, will extend earth life. At the heart of these and other agenda items is “control.” To influence their strategies, hiding as concerns, requires convincing the public and Christians if possible and for as many as possible to join their cause.They have failed or succeeded?

Control is the most proven way, in their minds, to accomplish their more serious plans.

There is evidence of the “progress” that the “Progressives” are making. It was spoken of centuries ago in the law and the prophets. As foretold, It has reached “Global” proportions.

If there was ever a place in the bible where America is described perfectly it is in the prophecy of the two eagles in the scripture below. We see the “promised land” view of America at her onset as well as a distressing and ominous current / future view of our land. Conditions now exist and are increasing that clearly display the latter scriptural and prophetic view expressed in the vision of the two eagles.

Ezekiel 17:3-7 (NASB) Prophesy
3  saying, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “A great eagle with great wings, long pinions and a full plumage of many colors came to Lebanon and took away the top of the cedar.
4  “He plucked off the topmost of its young twigs and brought it to a land of merchants; he set it in a city of traders.
5  “He also took some of the seed of the land and planted it in fertile soil. He placed it beside abundant waters; he set it like a willow.
6  “Then it sprouted and became a low, spreading vine with its branches turned toward him, but its roots remained under it. So it became a vine and yielded shoots and sent out branches.
7  “But there was another great eagle with great wings and much plumage; and behold, this vine bent its roots toward him and sent out its branches toward him from the beds where it was planted, that he might water it.”

Is this America? Do these two eagles sound like and look like America as she once was, and worse, as she is now?

Is there hope for the original biblically rooted vine? Many Americans, especially  Christians, still look to America’s foundational (biblical) roots for “water.” We see now and have seen God blessing us, providing for us, blessing our efforts to earn and raise our families the right way, His Way. His word promises a righteous reward.

Do we see the symbols in this prophecy? Our national bird is the Eagle. The sprigs, the seeds from the tree in Lebanon as our Judeo / Christian roots. We are the land of traders by many waters, the oceans, the Great Lakes. God, via our roots, by His Ways, supplies our needs not the eagle not the government.

God is love, (1JN: 4:8) We are to be rooted and grounded in love!  These are the roots we have thrived upon!

Ephesians 3:17 (NASB)
17  so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, …

The revealing of this prophesy at this time has purpose. It’s potential must be to warn us.  I have never heard the two Eagles preached before. Understanding has come for such a time as this.

Has enough of America, the vine, turned it’s roots up toward another god, the government, a god that wants to become their sole as well as soul, provider, dooming us as a nation? Doom? Read the scripture.

Ezekiel 17:9-10 (NASB)
9  “Say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “Will it thrive? Will he (the second eagle) not pull up its roots and cut off its fruit, so that it withers—so that all its sprouting leaves wither? And neither by great strength nor by many people can it be raised from its roots again.
10  “Behold, though it is planted, will it thrive? Will it not completely wither as soon as the east wind strikes it—wither on the beds where it grew?”‘”

Has any nation turned away from God and survived? According to scripture that second “eagle” will pull up our biblical roots and cause us  to whither and die! This speaks of the death of a nation!

Is it too late for us as a nation or has the time simply come as God’s word said it would?

Is America “dying on the vine” as the phrase goes? As a nation, we certainly can die. As a people, now that is a different thing altogether, because there are two peoples and race has nothing to do with who is who.

Has God’s sorting begun? Is the biblical apostasy as foretold already happening? Ask yourself, is America as a whole moving toward God or away? Why then would God put, and I believe He did, a man in the White House with beliefs more in line with the bible than the previous few president’s, beliefs totally the opposite of the most recent Muslim, Barack Obama.

Amos 3:7 (NASB)
“Surely the Lord GOD does nothing Unless He reveals His secret counsel To His servants the prophets.”

God speaks first to His prophets as we see in Ezekiel’s word about the two eagles. The prophets also spoke of Jesus long before His arrival. Most, including pastors, are unaware that the prophets spoke of not just one ascension by Jesus, as in the Book of Acts 1 but of an ascension earlier, by Jesus, just after exiting the tomb, revealed in  Zechariah 3:1-10. If you care, read it! I have never heard this preached before but the Holy Spirit revealed it to me. The sages do believe the dirty clothes Jesus put on, upon exiting the tomb, were the gardeners clothes belonging to Joseph of Arimathea from working in his garden near the tomb he had prepared for himself. The Holy Spirit revealed to me that they were  the same filthy garments worn by Joshua (Jesus) in Zech 3:1-10.

Jesus studied the Torah and in these particular verses saw His own name being spoken. “Joshua” The chapter speaks further of Him. “The Branch.”  Look it up. It is profound understanding. Jesus is asked if He will do God’s bidding… Jesus leaves that scene in heaven and appears supernaturally on the road to Emmaus and by the same means walking through the door where the disciples were hiding…  latter on He ascends again in Acts chapter 1. THAT second ascension is described in  Daniel 7:13 (NASB)
13  “I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him.”

THIS time Jesus was given dominion, glory and a kingdom. 

Daniel 7:14 (NASB)
14  “And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and men of every language might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed.”

I have taken this “Rabbi Trail” in an effort to convince you, to reach you, with insight that God revealing to us. Why? So you will listen to more.There is more…

See part two: Same title.

If we are in His grip, how far from His heart can we be?

Exit Strategy End Times: ” Cold love cold God.”

blowing shofar3

“Hear, O Israel [and all followers of the Living God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob]: The LORD our God the (unique) LORD, He is one in that sense that there is none like Him.

“And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.” 

If our love grows cold He has grown cold within us. This is the danger of Matthew 24: 13-14.

The Father doesn’t just show love. God is love. Everything He contemplates, acts upon, and reveals to us, is from His being, His love existence. As Followers, we must enter into that kind of love existence. Believers only… can not achieve this state.

Failing to operate in His love is rejecting Him. I mean, once I receive His love and all it includes, if I reject an existence, a loving existence in Him toward others, all others, I not only reject them but Him also and what He did for me. It is also to reject the kingdom’s eternal principles that He has tried to prepare us for.

”But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) A kingdom is defined by its principles. In this case, righteous principles.

This verse came to mind as I wrote in my journal. I went to look for it (in my bible) because I did not know exactly where it was. I opened randomly to this very verse. This kind of thing happens during my dedicated prayer time! God is my witness to these things. I believe He is leading me as I hear in spirit and write.

“…and all these things shall be added…” first includes the Way, Truth and Life of the kingdom, His righteousness! His kingdom and His righteousness are synonymous! We are to walk in His righteousness SO that we can enter into His kingdom by faith first here and then eventually forever.

Most of us remember Jesus said there are keys to the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 16:19) Those keys were encompassed in the law that He taught us. I paraphrase, “Look to heaven…Whatever you bind…”, If it is NOT allowed in heaven (bound) it is not allowed on earth. OR, If it is allowed in heaven (loosed) it IS allowed on earth.”

What we should seek in God and He definitely seeks in us is our willing and fervent daily preparing for His kingdom, by His righteousness. This is righteousness as taught by Jesus and demonstrated by Jesus which is then augmented or supplemented by the “all truth” the Holy Spirit guides us into and brings to our remembrance. (John 16:13 NKJV)

Quite necessary, having basic knowledge of “all these” things is only a beginning. Kingdom understanding, what Christ is calling us to, is to be implemented by us in this life. We are to prepare for eternity for the kingdom, by practicing what we believe, practicing our faith, which consists of  “all these things” Jesus taught us.

Faith is defined by Webster’s New World Dictionary as “unquestioningly believe, specifically in God, a religion; also “complete trust or confidence, loyalty,” i.e. faithful.

So, what do we or don’t we, unquestioningly believe from the teachings of Messiah Jesus?

There is a reason why Jesus said, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.”Matthew 7:21 (NKJV)

Please … forward this post or my others. Time is running out.

My next post is to Jews only. Do not read.

Exit Strategy End Times: ” Is the Lord among us or not?”

blowing shofar3

12-9-2015

In prayer I asked, “Deuteronomy 6” was the Spirit’s response, again…”

In my post “Seven pillars, seven eyes” I began with “The Lord our God the Lord is one.” This was the first time I quoted that phrase, an honored phrase of the Jewish faith.

I knew the phrase but I confess I did not know the address in the Old Testament Word. The day after I posted “Seven Pillars” I asked the Holy Spirit where He wanted me to read, He said Deuteronomy 6. Ok, as usual I did not know what was there. Low and behold, verse 4, “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: …”  Deuteronomy 6:4 (KJV)

Maybe it is only for me to know and be encouraged that He is meeting me in these morning encounters. I have prayed that in expressing what He gives me that it would be received by as many as possible. I give my expectations to the Lord as I receive this encouragement to proceed with absolute assurance that I am serving Him in trying to reach the world.

Also in Deuteronomy 6 is verse 16. Because I had already been to this address I felt there was more to be gleaned. Verse 16  “Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.” (KJV)

You find this story of Massah in Exodus 17:7. Moses also named this place “Meribah” because of the quarrel of the sons of Israel against Moses and God.

Exodus 17:7 (KJV) “ And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, “Is the LORD among us, or not?”

This is what I believe the Holy Spirit is saying in these days to us, “There is a time coming when God’s people will cry out, ‘Is the Lord among us or not?’ Do not be a part of them who test the Lord faithful and true. His presence in you will be your confidence as you say “Though He slay me yet will I praise Him.”

Imagine Christ dying to His royal position in heaven in order to come here, to love and be loved, then be hated, beaten and crucified unjustly. Is it too much that God expects us to grasp our need to die to our life here symbolically (at least) in order to enter His house of royalty for eternity?

Let us embrace the reward and glory in the opportunity at Christ-likeness. If we reject it, as Daniel said in 12:2-3 (KJV)  ”And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.”

Please … forward this post. Ask at your church for an email address to a missionary in some obscure nation. Plant the seed of preparation found in these posts so the “many” who will forsake their faith by saying “Is the Lord among us or not?” will become fewer, to His glory.

“If we remain in His grip, how far from His heart can we be!”

Exit Strategy End Times: “Do we receive Righteousness or the seeds of Righteousness? “

blowing shofar3

“Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!”

Do we receive Righteousness or the seeds of Righteousness when we ask Jesus to be Lord of our lives? Both actually. Righteousness is always a gift, especially upon granting grace to others.

When we believe in God’s grace and receive it, (Romans 5:17) the gift of righteousness is given. In being reconciled to Father God through Christ’s sacrifice, as with the love, the mercy, and the cleansing He sows into our lives to make us new, Father God then expects us to recognize and seek the seeds Jesus sowed during His life via all the teachings and examples culminating with the Cross.Those seeds explain how to love, be merciful, how we stay clean, so that we bear fruit in our lives so that our good fruit  might feed others just as we were fed initially.

Romans 5:10 (NASB)  ” For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.”

We have heard it taught that it is the righteousness of Christ that saves us; that there is nothing we can do to earn that  righteousness or that salvation, that reconciliation as Paul calls it in Romans 5:10 NASB. That is true in our initial reconciliation to the Father. Following Christ via our obedience to the life and teachings of Jesus is how we then maintain this free gift in life until we die or Jesus comes.

Are we responsible to bear fruit? Do we have a responsibility, in being bought with a price, forgiven totally, made righteous freely? Isn’t bearing fruit another way of requiring obedience? Was Christ not called the first born of many brethren in Romans 8:29? Are we not to be like Him?  How is this possible? Is it accomplished because He died for us? NO, it only begins there and Paul knew this and distinguished between reconciliation and actual salvation in Romans 5:10.

Paul wrote Romans 5:10 (NASB77)
”For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, …” Yes we are reconciled to God, but what about after, as we live life? How do we stay “saved” or reconciled as Paul calls it? As Paul said, there is “much more” to understand.

Jesus died for our sins previously committed, before we met Him. (Romans 3:25-26) Why would He need die for sins not yet committed? Would we sin in the future? Sure we would. Is Christ to die again and again for us? No WAY. Is He there to help? Sure by the Holy Spirit! We are expected to rely on, to follow, the wisdom and instruction He taught and lived, in order to avoid sin via the discipline of His training and our practice. Via that discipline we bear the peaceful fruit of righteousness! (Hebrews 12:11)

Jesus died once and for all persons but not for all our individual sin forever! He died for all those who would come to Him, forgiving their sins to date. Jesus did however teach us how to flee from sin in life, to avoid it, recognizing it, so as to live righteously by grace toward our fellow man and to God righteously to eternal life! (Romans 5:21) In doing so, we die a divine death to His glory! He lives in us!

We can be dead to sin, if we learn how! We will sin but our remedy, the antidote for life’s sin, is in the teachings of Christ our “Lord?” THEN we maintain our free gift!

There is an expectation on God’s part that we, after reconciliation, as we live on, that we will bear the fruit of righteousness. He plants we bear! He is the vine we are the branches! Does any of this sound familiar?

We understand correctly that when we ask Jesus to be Lord, God forgives us, cleanses us of all unrighteousness,(1st John 1:9) we are regenerated and then renewed by the Holy Spirit.

Titus 3:5 (NASB)
”He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit…”

Regeneration : palingenesia, the state or the act of rebirth. Strong’s Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary. # 3824.

Ephesians 2:5 (NASB)
”…even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),…”

Renewing: (of or by the Holy Spirit) anakainōsis , from <G341> (anakainoo); renovation :- renewing. Strong’s Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary.# 342, #341.

Do we not know that renovation is a process? We buy the house, then we renovate it to renew it, making it like we want it, elevating its condition to our standards. This is our process via the teachings of Christ with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Any Christian knows our maturing in Christ is a process. Our mind had to be renewed to new thinking. THIS is why Jesus came and spent time teaching us. Not just to die for us but to show us a new and living Way. (Hebrews 10:19-20 NASB) If there is a Way are we not to walk in it?

The kindness of God led us to repent and ask Jesus to be Lord and that by the Holy Spirit. Every mercy, forgiveness, cleansing, love, every aspect He freely gave, was a seed planted in the garden of our hearts with the absolute expectation that it would grow and multiply. It would be meaningful fruit for others to observe and receive freely when needed. It will be from us to the glory of God and Christ Jesus, by the Holy Spirit!

James 3:18 (NASB77)
And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

All this sowing takes place in life after our initial reconciliation to God.

I wrote earlier but excluded, Paul said, in Romans 5:10 (NASB77)
”For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.”

Christ’s death was critical to us. His life teachings and example actually save us; as in when we die or He returns. Until then we have a glorious Way to walk in. The question is, will we?

Romans 11:22 (NASB77)
” Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God’s kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off.” I’m sorry but there is no such thing as once saved always saved.

Whoa, did Paul say that??? He knew. We must bear fruit and more as we mature, just as one would expect.

Proverbs 11:30 (NASB77)
”The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who is wise wins souls.”

We have a great hope and all the more as the time draws near for Christ’s return.

Isaiah 3:10 (NASB77)
”Say to the righteous that it will go well with them, For they will eat the fruit of their actions.”

Do rightly , love mercy, walk humbly, and it will go well with you! Let grace reign! Romans 5:21, to eternal life!

Philippians 1:9-11 (NASB77)
”And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment,
10  so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ;
11  having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

“We are to be “Gracefruit” trees. Never withdrawing our limb from the scraggly hand of need that reaches for the same fruit we needed.”

“If we remain in His grip, how far from His heart can we be!”

Exit Strategy End Times: “Is she going clubbing?”

blowing shofar3

“For it was given to her to cloth herself in fine linen, bright and clean;…”

How many times did our moms warn us to stay clean as we prepared to leave for church? That meant, as my Dad used to say to my dear little brother and I, “No rough housing boys,” It meant no provoking our siblings to anger where chasing us in tears would wrinkle not only our Sunday best but our backsides.

“It was given to her…”

Loved ones, WE have been given a responsibility. The Word says, WE must cloth ourselves in fine linen. (see reference below)

Do you know who provides that fine linen? We would say, “God of course.” Yes like in life typically, the Father pays for the wedding and the beautiful gown the bride wears.

Is it less true in the wedding God has planned for us than it is in life, doesn’t the bride still have to willingly cloth herself? Does she not willingly make herself the most beautiful she can be on this special day? If her perfection is possible is it not pursued for that day, for the sake of her eternal love?

That gown must be perfect and it is!

“…for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.” (Revelations 19:7-8 NASB)

So our adornment is righteous acts. “Michael, that sounds like works.” Any bride who considers putting on her wedding gown to be work, is not ready to walk down that isle.

Oh sure, the preparations for that moment are far more involved but that is the sacrifice she makes willingly. She is responding obediently and with understanding to the standard that she knows will bring her to such heights of adoration in the eyes of her beloved. He is waiting in anticipation of her arrival. She absolutely knows this and is totally motivated by it.

If this will to adorn is not in her heart, it may not be obvious to her, but it will be obvious to Him. In addition and equally so, the disappointment her Father will suffer at her not choosing to wear the robes of righteousness He provided may result in a breach that she brings upon herself. Dare she wear what is inappropriate? Is she going “clubbing?

Oh her Father loves her no doubt, but does she love Him and does she love the groom? “If you love me you will keep my commandments.” (John 14:15 NASB) “Well Michael, she will not fail, the scripture says “His bride has made herself ready.”

Exactly. On a personal basis she will have made herself ready because SHE chose to do as is expected of her. No one has done it for her. It is the brides choice alone. She will not be there if she rejects what only she can choose.

The linen is righteous acts. We must seek to find our garment. We must know what righteous acts the Word is speaking of?

Jesus named many but only a few He named could cost us our eternal life if not obeyed. Look for them. They are there but not preached often. Be disciples not just listeners. Your eternal life depends on it. The scriptures I am referring to will prove it. If you want me to list more of them, do so through a comment.

Here are two helps in your dressing process. First, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” “teaching them to observe all that I commanded you:…” Jesus is not talking about “sitting back and watching.” He is saying learn to and teach others by your example, to obey all that He commanded. Why? Why did He come but to show us the Way to THE LIFE, God wants for us, and then He opened the door via His death! Once opened, we must “walk” through. From that point WE must willingly adorn ourselves with what He provided in anticipation of that future date. (Matthew 28:19-20 NASB) Knowing and obeying His commandments (from the Father) out of love, is vital.

Second, “…even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Christ Jesus.” (Romans 5:21 NASB) There is no righteousness (in us) without grace reigning in us. Sure we (hopefully) are reconciled to God, washed and perfect by the death of His Son but there is more to it! (Romans 5:10 NASB)

If our gown is stained by someone else, we much wash it as only we can. This is the life teaching of Jesus. Once the gown is given through reconciliation to God, we must maintain it for That Day. We must avoid “rough housing.”

Nothing of someone else’s doing must be on our minds on our wedding day. Only we can make sure we are without spot or blemish, holy and blameless, in our souls. “It has been given to us to make ourselves ready.” (Revelation 19:8 paraphrased NASB)

If we embrace and implement grace, knowing the glorious wedding alter it leads to, grace will adorn us in the same righteousness, beauty and holiness as our beloved Groom. He proved it. It is all “through” Him. First reconciliation, then His life example and teachings. His Way is the “channel” to eternity. It is the linen of righteousness so radiant any bride would have no doubt in her heart of the perfection she has obediently chosen to wear,  perfection paid for by her Father, for the Bride a glorious gift for His Son. She now thinks like He does, speaks as He would, and will reign in total agreement with Him. They are to be One forever.

The linen of righteousness is found in the commandments of Jesus. Let God light the fire of revelation in your hearts over His Word.  It is a fire that redirects you even to the source of any great love you have experienced in this life. I know, I have experienced the most profound and perfect love through my late and beloved Janis. All along it was Jesus, in her, loving me. I can not think of her without thanking Him. She clothed me in righteousness by her grace, making it possible for me to be “Mr. Wonderful” in her heart. Was she in denial? No she was in magnificent grace through faith. A grace that set me free to be a better and better man over our 33 years. Isn’t this God? Don’t we hope God does the same for all of us? He does if we honor the gift of grace that delivers righteousness to us and from us to others. As grace reigns, so does righteousness, to eternal life, through Christ Jesus.

The coming times will demand our understanding. Preparing now is paramount.

PS: To all my young friends who will read this. Our God is not in a box. “All truth” as referred to by Jesus, is beyond what we already know, and it will change things we already know. Remember, the prophet of God forsakes the people for the sake of the people. Be clothed gloriously.

You are loved, He waits,

Michael

Exit Strategy End Times: “In the new Covenant what else can wash away my sins? “

blowing shofar3

In the new Covenant what can wash away my sins? This is a revised version of my most recent post.

“Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!”

Remember that revered song “What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus!” It is a great song but there is something else that washes away our sins!

“Nothing but” is actually not true at all. Please listen carefully.

By being reconciled to God, by the blood of Jesus, I am washed of my sins previously committed. (Romans 3: 22-26) I am a new creation in the sense that I am a babe and now must mature. Mature into what is the question.

After reconciliation, as life goes on with its sometimes tormenting challenges, I must walk in the Light. What is the Light? “Jesus is the Light of the World,” you say. Yes He is. But do you think for a minute He is not referring to the understanding of the Ways the Father spoke through Him? What about the Law of the Spirit of Life? What are those laws, those Ways? (Romans 8:2)

Jesus is like a marvelous flashlight. He, in His human form, has all the components to shine except for one thing. He admits that He is nothing, can do nothing, except the Father speaks it or shows it first to Him. The empowerment comes into Him like batteries into a flashlight and enables Him to shine as it might us also, as His wisdom and understanding fills our souls.

So what besides (and after) the blood, can wash away my sins?

As I enter the new covenant through Jesus, a new means of cleansing is made available to me. I must choose to implement it. In fact it is a key to the kingdom. Remember “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,…” (Matthew 6:10)

“For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.” Matthew 6:14 (NASB)

On a daily basis, why would our forgiveness be necessary if we are already covered (forgiven) by the blood of Jesus?

“But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.”  Matthew 6:15 (NASB)

Among all the wisdom Christ taught, avoid judging, pray for those who persecute you, etc, the same forgiveness that covered our sins, paid for by the blood as Jesus died for our sins, the same forgiveness can later on in our life cover us daily.

Jesus sheds His blood for all men only once, (1 Pet 3:18) bringing us to God. Like Him, after that the life we live we live unto God. Our flesh is to have died and we are to be then alive in spirit. Obviously we did not physically die so to die while still in our flesh, we are to daily crucify our carnal ways as we submit to and implement His Ways. By doing so, we maintain what was freely given in reconciliation.

As we die to self and come alive in Christ, the same verse that set Him free into eternity sets us free here as well as there. That which assured Him of eternal life also assures us of eternal life.

As I forgive the sins of others against me,… (like Christ on the Cross) then I am continuously forgiven of my sins. (See the Lord’s Prayer and Matthew 6:14) We need His daily bread, Christ and His example is that bread, reminding us, supplying us the grace needed for ourselves as we forgive daily sins, against us!

As I walk in that Light, (1 John 1:7) “as He walked,” the Blood of Jesus continues to be the covering I originally received freely. I must maintain it and do maintain that which I was freely given, as I follow His Ways, His commandments, that guide and protect me.

If I declare I have been enlightened in Christ and I refuse, if I do not forgive others, if I do not consistently and fervently try to walk in the Light of His Ways, I put my freely received blood covering in jeopardy. Is this rebellion not teetering on the brink of a chasm, a falling away? Am I not crucifying Christ in my heart, and the Holy Spirit’s prompting to forgive. Is my attitude not open shame to my claim of Christ as Lord? (Hebrews 6:6 ) Let us RUN to Christ for mercy and repent by forgiving and interceding for our offender from our heart without delay!

Once made pure in reconciliation, I must maintain that condition. I have been given all things pertaining to life and Godliness. (2 Peter 1:3 NASB) Why? To make me able! I am able to maintain life and Godliness, by the Holy Spirit. Will I, do I, even know that I must maintain that condition? Many do not.

Anger, bitterness, rebellion, hatred, and judging will not get into heaven. We can and must repent of any of these things NOW and then bear or walk in the peaceful fruit of righteousness, the Light of Jesus.

What is the light? When Jesus said, I am the Light of the World He meant more than His person. He was the Word before He became flesh and dwelt among us. The Word is the power of the Light, and is the light. We must do as the Word says.

After our reconciliation back to God, after being made alive again through Christ, our forgiving others continues to wash away our own sins. By this, we are maintaining the blessed forgiveness and righteousness we freely received. We must understand that God’s grace applied to others is Christ and cleanses us of all unrighteousness. We must faithfully practice walking in this Light!  

“How can we possibly do this?” you ask. Rest assured in this truth, 1 John 3:7 (NASB)
“Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; ..” 

The church around the world must grasp this. Events are potentially stabbing us to death. It is death by our being provoked into violating God’s Word and coming under a judgment sustained by God’s Words. PLEASE, warn a fellow Christian. NOW.

“If we remain in His grip, how far from His heart can we be!”

In the guardianship of Christ,

Michael

Exit Strategy End Times: Trump versus Biden: “Are we really that stupid?”

blowing shofar3“Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!”

Trump versus Biden: Are we really that stupid?

As former president Obama and the left uses the Covid-19 deaths and the resulting forced unemployment as a result of covid, to blame President Trump, it becomes obvious that, like other attempts to unseat Trump, Covid-19, is another MASK being used to destroy the economy and elect Biden, dare I say with the help of the Chinese.

From “Breaking News Israel, June 23, 2020 read this quote from renowned globalist George Soros. “Now is a ‘Revolutionary Moment’ where the inconceivable is necessary.”

So what might the inconceivable be? Are we not seeing the inconceivable on TV every night??? What about this Covid-19 and those responsible?

The Chinese see Globalism as a way to achieve their plan for world wide domination. The Globalists are enemies of the American way, which at its heart is a biblical way. An old Chinese saying, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”  The Chinese openly support Biden! Why? Because Biden is a globalist. ARE WE REALLY THAT STUPID, to not see this? No they just think we are or hope a majority are. That is all they need in America!

The left must act like the last 3 years of progress via Trumps administration never happened! Like all their failed accusations against the president in the past 3 1/2 years, all they can do is accuse and lie, over and over again until a majority believes them.

As we know Trump won by slim majorities, in key states. Again, are we blind to see their motives? I pray not. Are we smart enough to do something to counter the actions and lies of the left? Support Trump financially if nothing else. Buy a bumper sticker!

Four years ago it was time to kick as… and Trump knew that. He identified with what we knew and that got him elected. WE ARE NOT DONE kicking butt and taking names! We risk justice vanishing if we do not re-elect Trump AND put those in jail who are enemies of the state, the Constitution, and all the good things America and the people patriots of America represent. These traitors took an oath that they knew they would violate as they planned and executed the globalist “Ambush Coup.”

Remember, what they blame you for, they are guilty of, many times as they speak. They accuse Trump of the very things they are guilty of. We know this!

To our black pro American, God believing brothers and sisters, you clean up your neighborhoods! You have our blessing and support, however you have to get it done, do it. Call your Mayor and support your local police! Voting for President Trump is the only way to accomplish that, for ALL OF US.

As I see it, it is not about Trump, it is about supporting God in a country that is about to fall over the cliff into the chasm of total unbelief and rebellion against God. If that time has come only the love of God toward your enemies will preserve you. Christ in you, the hope of glory!

Note: It has been called “whiteies world” by those taken in by the leftist agenda but any truth in that description is only because the pilgrims from England brought the bible. Yes, they were white. It was following the biblical principles that God says He will bless that caused this “American experiment” to succeed, including to set slaves free!  Our color had nothing to do with it. Your color has nothing to do with it! God is a just God. God will bless those who do it HIS WAY.

Listen! America, we are dangerously close. DO NOT GET ANY FURTHER ON THE WRONG SIDE OF GOD! In America, majority rules. God blesses or not by the choices we make as a nation. GOD does not need America. God does however love and bless those who support what His Word says to support.

You can not be a saved Christian and knowingly support the Democratic anti-God, anti-life, anti-family, anti-justice, platform. God is and always has been against those who knowingly are against Him. We Christians are praying for your awakening, by God’s mercy and grace. “Some will awaken to ever lasting life but some to everlasting contempt…” See Daniel chapter 12.

“Vote for God so He will vote for you!” [let the reader understand.](a quote: Michael Knight of Night Light at (google) WYND-radio.com M-F 7AM EST, 96.1 FM and 1310 AM.

If we are in His grip, how far from His heart can we be?

Exit Strategy End Times: “Mercy, pressed in passion, poured into you!”

blowing shofar3

“Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!”

Mercy, pressed in passion, poured into you!

Yesterday I spent hours writing a post that I did not post. I could not.

After too long since posting, the Lord told me to sit down and write. It was full of my heart regarding my current situation. It was 1000 words! Yes, it was too long. Maybe He just wanted me to get it out of my system. It was not a reaction. Instead it was a hope.

What I hoped for must be His doing. It remains a draft from my heart until He permits me to post, “In God’s will, out of God’s will, in God’s will?”

This morning in our (His and mine) prayer time I read in Romans 9:14-24 and this question came to mind.

Are we vessels of honor, are we common vessels or are we vessels of mercy prepared for glory?

In our troubles do we speak as Adam did to God, “this woman You gave me…” or in hopeless commonality as Paul wrote in verse 9:20, “who resists His will?” meaning I am what I am.

May neither be spoken dear Lord.

Let us first remember as Paul asks also in verse 9:20, “Oh man, who answers back to God?”

Let our silence honor and respect Him as we contemplate the Lord and His desire for us.

The vessel of honor may hold the fine wine. Surely the common vessel would not but in it the water was changed into the better wine. (John 2:1-10)

How much sweeter is the wine poured into a vessel of mercy! It became a vessel of mercy! The love of God within is the glorifying, appreciating reason we are then made precious.

How do you see yourself oh fellow vessel?

Be washed of past content. Be dried of tears finally.

Rest on the table of His plan for your life by faith. See what you did not see before.

Cherish the grapes of mercy, pressed in passion, poured into you as His chosen vessel.

Let Him lift you to drink. Let there be no stench from your previous content, not a whiff or trace. May honor cross His pallet from a vessel once tarnished but now clean and running over with mercy, the life giving mercy for which other vessels would long.

May a gentle smile be upon the Potters face as your content, something He also treasures, that which He also created at great expense, warms His heart and brings joy to Him as He works diligently on other vessels, lumps of clay as we all once were.

Remember, “If we remain in His grip, how far from His heart can we be!”

In the guardianship of Christ,

Michael

Fox’s Hannity says Misinformation? What really happened!

blowing shofar3

Fox’s Hannity says “Misinformation?” What really happened!

“Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one! “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.”

“Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!”  Sir Walter Scott 1808

“Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive” is a quotation by Sir Walter Scott, which I‘m sure you knew. It means that when you tell lies or act in a dishonest way you create problems and complications which you cannot control.

Now even Hannity is saying it. “The Russians gave misinformation in the dossier! So why would they do that? Putin thought one step beyond their plan!

See now why the Democrats desperately had to make it look like Trump had colluded.

At this point, an attempted coup is a coup no matter how it is disguised. A coup happens with approval from the very top unless the top is the target, (like JFK) and then with help from as close to the top as possible. It only takes key (top) individuals wielding authority over subordinates. If some of them join in then the plot and the prosecutions increase.

The implications we see today are pointing toward a just retribution for a dishonest and treasonous attempt to overthrow the 2016 election of a duly elected President. That which hurts one party hurts both and those belonging. If we pale as a nation to act, we fail as a nation.

Law and justice seriously served out will restrain same such future clandestine and arrogant audacity by those with disdain for the rest of us.

In fact now the tables have turned and truth is prevailing as it should. How far it will prevail, how far justice will prevail remains to be seen.

When it takes lies and deception to accomplish a goal there are forces working against those plans that wrench control from the perpetrator, emphasis on traitor, forcing them to their knees at the chopping block.

How did it all go so wrong? The perpetrators assumed Hillary Clinton was going to be President of the United States. She had all the Globalist ridiculously affluent supporters behind her. Once she was in power all evidence of any malicious intent would be moot.

The Republicans even thought she would win. It was a fait accompli if you will, as though she had already accomplished victory and they just had to accept it. Too many republicans listened to the liberal media.

Obviously the outcome “trumped” their plans. Not just who would be elected but the agenda that was in store was now stopped in its tracks. The Agenda? Sure, the Globalist Agenda. Call it “Progressive, Socialist, Far Left, Democratic” they are the same thing…. Globalism. Not your father’s Democratic Party.

We all know someone in this world theater that hates Globalism as much or more than our now exonerated President Trump. Except for God’s grace in this election, America was hell bent to become the biggest agent of Globalism ever, a far worse enemy of Russia than we ever were before.

Russia, and Israel, and any country that wants to remain independently unique to its own heritage, understands this. They must see America remain in tact historically and traditionally, which also means spiritually. America must NOT become a globalist nation.

America is not a threat to any country mainly because of our Judaeo-Christian morality. Our Constitution demonstrates this. When we stand in the righteousness of it’s standards, no other country need fear us except if they attack us. Then fear they should.

Call it “Progressive, Socialist, or Democratic, if America falls to these, Israel will also fall do to loss of our support, and Russia will fall as a “last man standing.” Israel will enter an agreement as a matter of survival and be betrayed later.

Globalism alone is reason enough for Russia to want to influence our elections. Russia must save America in order to save itself from Globalism!  So what do we see? Do we realize how fiercely anti-globalist Putin is?

Vladimir Putin is the ally of anyone who is anti-globalism. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. America, the patriotic America, President Trump’s America, the America of the People, is the enemy of Globalism and is therefore Putin’s (Russia’s) friend.

Now it is the Globalists focus to make the American people think Russia is our enemy as in cold war enemy. NOT SO. Russia is THEIR enemy. The globalist’s M.O. is manipulation.

I believe it is clear that Russia formulated a plan based on the corrupt willingness they see in the “Progressive, and expeditiously immoral nature of the Globalist movement.”

In realizing this we can see collusion and what really happened!

President Trump being a patriotic lover of America was running against a devout Globalist Hillary Clinton. Clinton’s boss and President Trump’s predecessor was also a globalist being used to further the Globalist agenda by crippling America through social division, financial hardship, and the encouraged infiltration of a faith that has no real power other than that which is demonstrated by violence. If the Democrats under Globalist leadership convince enough people to vote the right (left) way, our democratic system would then serve their agenda, America’s submission.

As long as our Constitution stands strong the only way they can gain power is by the laws in existence. Their intent is to eventually amend or get rid of the constitution as we know it. They must be in power to do that. Trump’s election was a true wrench in the works.

Obama’s hidden Muslim persuasion made him a deceiver and imposter. For a person of minor notoriety Obama’s history was purposely hidden to a great extent. Some facts, his Muslim persuasion would have seriously jeopardized his being elected. This too tells us about the power and planning of the Globalists.

Focusing on the past hurts and the personal lack experienced in areas of the public sector is exactly how the Bolsheviks began the Revolution that birthed Communism!

A real need or a suggested offense brings followers. Hatred and bitterness are emotional fuels that poison the ability to reason. A nation that is overcome by hatred and bitterness is lost even while appearing to win temporarily.

Vladimir Putin saw the need (of America) as he met the need of the Democratic (globalist) candidate Hillary Clinton. A fictitious dossier was created full of disinformation about Trump that would speak in a way that fit his outspoken, sometimes caustic, way of communicating. Offering outrageous for the outrageous, they believed it. Most people know what the petard was which was then used in attempting to destroy Trump. Now, knowing what we know, as with all petards, the perpetrators will be hoisted (hung) by their own petard; a blatant now documented attempt to collude with the Russians to manipulate the 2016 election’s results.

When it comes to collusion the Democrats colluded with the Russians to influence the national election. Once the election was lost, their backstop of Hillary as President, their safety net, disappeared. Protecting themselves became dependent on making Trump look bad enough to impeach.

“Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!”

In fact patriotic Americans should thank Russia for bringing down the Globalist, Progressives, and Hillary Clinton although she has in fact hung herself by her own petard. Not a pretty sight. Frankly I prefer her in a pants suit if I have to look at her at all.

Forces in our world that want to be in power over everything cannot be so unless every country submits. A one world government, military and religion, the UN, UN forces, and the Catholic religion (or a masked form of it) are their goal. It will not be your fathers Catholic Church. The globalist church will be an attempt to pacify billions into submission. In their church, Christ will not be and maybe already is not, the one and only focus of man’s Salvation. Billions of confessing believers will be lost, convinced faith is a fraud.

The eternity we believe in will fade from reality in the weaker of us. Provocation, persecution and murder, hatred, anger and bitterness will poison the righteousness once in us, that which biblically is required of us to “Enter in.” Jesus said “He who endures to the end shall be saved.”

If there is an “Enemy” behind the globalists, and there is, he knows, many will not remember that this catastrophic scenario is written about and so the love of believers will grow cold. He knows, by this they forsake their faith.

“Followers” who know this globalist takeover is to eventually happen will protect their hearts by offering grace, forgiving those lost souls doomed for an eternal hell. By a vision of an eternity of love, enduring love, the good news of the kingdom, they will endure. (See Matthew 24:12-14) In thee great rescue of His own, God, Jesus the Messiah, will then return for His and there will be hell to pay.

If Russia thinks for a moment America has lost its soul via the majority choosing a Democratic, unrighteous, un-Godly, globalist leader, if Russia sees the Globalist agenda taking hold in America, an EMP will likely be launched against us. They may do so in cahoots with China, one from each direction as allies. America under a ruthless and unrighteous Globalist agenda truly becomes a common enemy. Our destruction will only make it easier for the Globalists to move forward.

Understand this. The Globalists do not care if America falls in ashes. Their money is safe. They will head east or west and go after what is left in the world.  America will no longer be able to resist their agenda ever again let alone on a world wide scale! Our destruction or submission is their ultimate goal. We are dangerously close already if the majority in America determines so.

The current Socialist agenda being waved around by some Democrats is a ploy, a puppet-like deception by the Globalists aimed at the ignorant. It is a tool of collapse. If America falls to socialism she, like others, will collapse rendering her public willing to accept any help and the Globalists will be there for sure. The public will think God has forsaken them when they, in fact, have forsaken God!

Yes, the Democrats purposely colluded in their ignorance and unrighteousness with Russia. Putin got the best of them by seeing who they really are, petard and all.

“Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!”

Justice has ruled for centuries and needs to rule over this immoral attack on our God, our Constitution and the people of America. Never the less, it may be time as we “followers” as a nation are entering our own Garden of Gethsemane. “Thy will be done Lord.”

“If we remain in His grip, how far from His heart can we be!”
