Several new technologies that appear separate and unrelated will soon converge, creating a giant digital trap that will easily entice the uninformed masses.
The digital trap has already been set and globalist elites are using COVID to speed up the process of convergence. Most people will sleep-walk right into the trap, which will ultimately reduce them to a human QR code – trackable, traceable, and 100 percent dependent on Big Tech and big government for their existence.
I’m going to unpack each of these seemingly separate threads that will be gradually merged into a single overarching socio-financial control grid.
The most imminent agenda item needed to jumpstart this system is a successful launch of digital health passports.
France, Italy, Ireland, Germany, Greece and many other nations have started mandating these passports on their citizens, many of whom are flooding into the streets to protest.
The movement toward digital health passports in the U.S. is happening more gradually but it’s picking up steam.
In a briefing Monday, Aug. 2, Biden’s Coronavirus Response Coordinator Jeffrey Zients announced “it’s time to impose some requirements” where COVID vaccines are concerned.
When asked for clarification on exactly what COVID rules might be implemented, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said nothing is off the table.
Remember that phrase: Nothing is off the table.
This could involve rounding up the unvaccinated and placing them in isolation and quarantine camps.
An academic consortium consisting of six universities already has a contract with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to provide training for government, law enforcement, healthcare and private-sector stakeholders on how to quarantine “large portions” of rural communities.
But the drive to digitize the lives of Americans will start in the cities and move outward.
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio became the first politician to jump at the opportunity to demand vaccine passports.
Despite what anyone tries to tell you, separating Americans by vaccine status is a historic first. It has never before been tried, not through the polio or smallpox outbreaks of the 1920s, 30s and 40s, not during the Spanish Flu. Not ever.
De Blasio ordered businesses to deny service to the unvaccinated, which accounts for 30 percent of the city’s population. It remains to be seen how de Blasio will enforce this edict. Will he call out the police to shut down businesses not demanding a show of papers from their customers?
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is also shooting for vaccine passport mandates statewide but knows he has to be a little more diplomatic in his approach.
“Private businesses, I am asking them and suggesting to them, go to vaccine-only admission. Go to vaccine-only admission,” Cuomo said in an Aug. 2 press conference.
“I believe it’s in your own business interest,” he said, “to run a vaccine-only establishment…. We have apps, just say, ‘you have to show that you were vaccinated when you walk in the door.'”
In other words, “Show your papers.”
Think about what Cuomo is saying here.
He is very forcefully “asking” business owners to eliminate 30 percent the state’s population from their field of potential customers and treat them as non-persons.
This is pure fascism and reminds one of the Nazi propaganda that coerced Germans to refuse to do business with Jews.
If New York’s business owners listened to Cuomo, they would make it impossible for non-vaxxed people to feed their children.

The digital passports require people to download a scannable QR code on their cellphone that will allow businesses to know they’ve been vaxxed before they are allowed to enter and receive service [buy or sell].
That leads us to the second leg of the digital trap that is baking in the technological oven – a new global digital ID system that is capable of working in conjunction with the digital health passports and the new medical-vaccination complex.
The leader in this stream of tech is the ID2020 Alliance, a collaborative of more than 35 members including Accenture, Microsoft, the Rockefeller Foundation, MasterCard, IBM, the International Chamber of Commerce, MIT SafePaths and Bill Gates’ GAVI Global Vaccines Alliance.
In February 2021, ID2020 launched the Good Health Pass Collaborative to encourage a seamless convergence of all the COVID-19 vaccine credentialing apps being developed by many different organizations.
“Paper vaccine certificates can be easily forged,” the ID2020 Alliance warns in a press release. “The purpose of health credentials is to securely prove that a person has received a vaccine or PCR test. The new alliance is particularly targeting travel to ensure credentials work cross-border, cross-industry and are frictionless.”
The alliance has published a white paper on the topic for those seeking more details.
Yet another piece to the evolving techno-fascist puzzle is the new digital currency.
The world’s central banks are working on a programmable digital currency based on block chain technology. This means they will be able to track your spending and shut you off for any reason.
The International Monetary Fund posted an article on its website in July lauding India as a global leader in the drive to eliminate cash. And of course COVID was mentioned as expediting the move away from paper money. The IMF noted:
“COVID-19 has accelerated the use of contactless digital payments for small transactions as people try to protect themselves from the virus. These advances build on the India Stack—a comprehensive digital identity, payment, and data-management system that we write about in a new paper (Carrière-Swallow, Haksar, and Patnam 2021).”
As you can see in the above statement, the goal is a comprehensive digital identity, combining one’s health data and vaccine status with banking and other personally identifiable data.
Klaus Schwab warned us ahead of time about the trap he and his elitist buddies were setting for us.
“The Fourth Industrial Revolution will lead to a fusion of our physical, biological and digital identities,” Schwab told the Chicago Council on Global Affairs in November 2020.
Even before that, in his 2018 book, Shaping the Future of The Fourth Industrial Revolution, Schwab wrote:
“Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies will not stop at becoming part of the physical world around us—they will become part of us.
“Indeed, some of us already feel that our smartphones have become an extension of ourselves. Today’s external devices—from wearable computers to virtual reality headsets—will almost certainly become implantable in our bodies and brains.”
When he penned these grandiose ideas in 2018, it seemed like the pie in the sky musings of an out of touch futurist and few paid attention. Post COVID, it’s in our faces and ready to be implemented.
The final leg of the technological program to control humanity is the Big Tech giants working together to scrub all dissident voices from the Internet. Their ultimate goal is to create a system where all users have an Internet passport, subject to periodic review of your online activity.
The Big Tech giants have already said they actively share information in an effort to crack down on “white supremacists” under the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism, a body previously reserved for targeting the Taliban and al-Qaeda.
PayPal announced it will be working with the notoriously Marxist Anti-Defamation League to scour the Internet, looking for “extremists” and “anti-government” voices in order to shut off their PayPal donation buttons.
Under this Chinese-style social scoring system, those guilty of online infractions get publicly shamed and silenced. Information collectors are paid to snitch on their neighbors and family members. Once your social credit score dips below a certain level, you become so discredited that it gets tougher and tougher to find a job, travel by plane, train, bus or car, get loans or put your kids in the better schools.
Those providing counter-narrative information will be flagged, given a warning, and eventually blocked as disseminators of “disinformation.”
You lose your freedom of speech, but that’s not all.
In today’s society, being removed from the Internet means you won’t be able to buy or sell online or work a job that requires an internet connection.
So the health passports, currently being rolled out worldwide, will block you from in-person shopping for food and necessities while the coming Internet passport will block you from ordering your necessities online. You will essentially be left with the black market, assuming one will spring up for those deemed “unclean” and “unfit” for the modern world because of their dissident views.
All of these technologies will merge at the intersection of Big Data, big banks, Big Tech and big government. Your social credit score will now be tied in not only to your Internet activity but to your bank account and your vaccine status. Welcome to the Great Reset, a/k/a New World Order.
Add in advances in AI and facial recognition and millions of surveillance cameras and you are talking about a lockdown slave state that makes George Orwell’s 1984 look like a picnic in the park.
But don’t complain. It’s all “for our safety.”
People cannot be trusted to do the right thing, to believe the true facts, to lead the kind of life that results in a peaceful, happy society. All must conform to the new masters.
Now is the time to fight this system. But in order to fight it, you must recognize its existence and stay one step ahead of the cabal’s evil game plan.
At some point the trap door will shut. It will be too late to opt out. You either comply or become a non-person. An enemy of the state.
These separate avenues of evolving technology will eventually be merged to create a society in which everything, and every person, is digitally tracked. Not just the movement of their physical bodies, but their actions, behaviors, even their thoughts.
The elites are counting on us accepting this system in its early, fragmented stages. Most people think compartmentally. They don’t connect dots. They will be deceived.
The elites are not going to tell you upfront what all is involved in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. They’re just going to tell you the parts that sound good – convenience, inclusion, safety, security.
Watch the creepy 42-second video put out by the government of Australia urging people to create a digital identity.
Once this trap door is shut, it will be very difficult to get out of its clutches. Don’t download apps, pay with cash whenever possible, and stop sleep walking into the New World Order.

Hello Ed , thanks for your reply. Here is my understanding
I have shown you clearly in my previous post that the spiritual law is still in force. I have pointed out that there is a distinction between the ritual laws of the old testament, and the spiritual law.
We must obey the spiritual law, that is why John says
1 John 2:4 “He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.”
So we see that the commandments are still in force. If their was no law then there would be no sin But it is possible for a Christian to sin. Otherwise, why would John also say
1 John 1:10
“If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”
So I hope you will admit that a Christian can sin. If a Christian can be said to have sinned then there must be a law in force which he has transgressed. There must be a law in force by which he can be judged to have sinned. Otherwise, how can he know that he has sinned.
But thanks to Jesus Christ’s perfect sacrifice on the cross we are able to find forgiveness and cleansing. When Jesus said “it is finished” He was not abolishing the spiritual law. He was referring to His perfect sacrifice which doesn’t have to be repeated over and over like the ritual sacrificing of sheep. He was abolishing the ritual laws of what was now the old testament and replacing it with a more perfect sacrifice.
His sacrifice was efficacious forever and would never have to be repeated. That’s why Jesus said “it is finished”

Hello Ed , here is my understanding
I agree that we are saved by grace through faith . As I said in my previous comment :-
“We are saved by grace and not of ourselves, it is a gift of God .
But true faith is God given. It is tactile, it is not merely an academic affirmation of the gospel.
In Hebrews 11 we are given a thorough description of faith .
The spiritual law has not been done away with because Jesus says in Mat 5 :-
“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.”
As far as I am aware, heaven and earth have not passed. So the law is still in effect, not the ritual law but the spiritual law of which the ritual law is but a shadow. Jesus has fulfilled the law on our behalf, not to exempt us from it but to save us from being condemned by it.
Paul says that he sees that the law is good but he is grieved at his carnal inability to keep the law saying “wretched man that I am” Paul recognises that the spiritual law is still in force and cries out with relief that through Jesus Christ he is rescued from condemnation.
It is a mistake to think that we are exempt from keeping the law . We are still expected to not steal, not commit fornication etc. We must still judge between right and wrong and strive to do what’s right.
If we disregard the law then how can we know the difference between right and wrong?
Paul finishes the chapter of Romans 7 by saying
“25I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
So Paul is showing in thiis chapter that the carnal man is condemned by the law but the spiritual man is not because the spiritual man is united with Christ. But remember that Paul said that with his mind he SERVES THE LAW OF GOD showing that the spiritual law is still in force. We are still bound by the spiritual law of God but not by the ritualistic law which involved animal sacrifice, circumcision etc., by which we cannot be justified.
Hebrews 9
7But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: 8The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: 9Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; 10Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

Anthony,
The first mistake in your reply is believing that Jesus did not fulfill all that He came to do. Which is the context of the passage. He did of course, and that’s why the law has passed. Paul even said it was “abolished” in Eph.2:15 so that the Jew and Gentile could become “one new man”. And Hebrews tells us that it was “taken away” so the New Covenant could be “established”. This pertained to the whole law because the law is works. The New Covenant is by grace through faith without works. This is why Jesus fulfilled the law. So that as Paul said sin would no longer have dominion over those who were once under it. Because now they are under grace.
You make your second mistake by believing that Paul said he could not keep the law. Paul never said this. In fact, Paul said in Phil.3:6,7 “Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.”
Your third mistake is believing that Rom.7 is about the carnal man not being able to keep the law. When what Paul is really teaching here is that Israelites(“those who know the law” vs.1) who remain joined to the law by believing that they must continue to keep it can not be joined with Christ. Not because they could not keep the law, as is made very apparent in Luke1:5,6 that they could. But, because the keeping of the law is not the righteousness they need for salvation.
So that the trouble they discovered when they tried to live by “the faith of Christ” was that their old way of thinking when they were under the law(with my mind I serve the law of God) kept creeping back in. So that they would think in terms of works of the flesh for righteousness instead of the faith of Christ as Paul taught in Gal.2:16. This is why Paul concludes in Rom.8:5,6 “For they that are after the flesh(works) do mind the things of the flesh(works); but they that are after the Spirit(faith) the things of the Spirit(faith). For to be carnally minded(works righteousness) is death; but to be spiritually minded(righteousness by faith) is life and peace.”
This is why Paul said, “For that which I do(trust in Jesus for righteousness)I allow not(because with the mind they serve the law): for what I would(trust in Jesus), that do I not; but what I hate(trust in the law for righteousness), that do I.” This is the context beginning with the very first verse of Rom.7. The Jew who knows the law battles with the notion that he must continue keeping it vs the New Covenant of grace Paul was teaching them.
Different dispensations.

This being true I will ask again. How could Jesus’ death be “substitutionary” since all men still die physically? And since all men are natural and not spiritual when they are conceived, just as Adam was when God made him?

Anthony,
I appreciate the fact that you believe that the spiritual law is different from the ritual laws given to Moses for Israel. However, as I showed you already Paul said in Rom.7 any man that remains joined to the law can not be joined with Christ. And to make sure you knew what part of the law Paul was talking about he named one of them in vs.7. He made reference to “thou shalt not covet” so you would know what law you needed to be dead to so that you could be joined with Christ. This is proof that the law is not divided into parts so you can say we must obey part of it but that it is ok to disregard the rest.
Remember when you quoted James when you said any man who is accountable by God to keep the law and yet offends in one part of it is guilty of all of it. That counts for all of it. Not just the ritual parts.
This is proof that you are either under the whole law or you are not under any of it. You are either in the New Covenant or you remain under the Old. And if you remain under the Old Covenant sin still has dominion over you as Paul said in Rom.6:14. And if you try to be in bo9th covenants as you are Paul says you are an adulteress(Rom.7:1-3).
1John1 references the sins under the law for Israel as John was an apostle only to the Jews(Gal.2:). Under the law they made continual confession of and sacrifice for sin. John is telling them now all they need to do is confess sin to Jesus to “cleanse them from ALL unrighteousness”. And Heb.10:14 says that once that is done there is no more need for sacrifice for forgiveness of sins because “by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.”
Sin is to miss the mark. In 1John3 John is speaking of the sin of unbelief that Jesus said in John16:9 He came to reprove the whole world of. This is the sin those who are born of God can not ever do. Because His seed remains in them and they can not sin because they are born of God. That a Christian can do something wrong has nothing to do with this sin. The reason you think it does is because for you the mark is still the law. While for the truly saved the mark is Jesus.

Hello Ed, here is my understanding
In Romans 7 Paul does not say that the law is abolished. He is saying that the carnal man cannot keep the spiritual law
Romans 7
12 “Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
13Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
14For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
15For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
16If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
17Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me”.
So Paul is acknowledging that the spiritual law is still in force condemning his carnal sinful nature. He is pointing out that his new spiritually born again nature is grieved by this and the new born again Paul is not the one sinning but it is the sinful nature of the carnal man that dwells in him.
The point I am making is that the spiritual law has always been there before and after the law of Moses which was contained in ordinances, animal sacrifices, and washing rituals, were shadows of what was to come.
The spiritual law has never passed away and is far deeper than the ritual observances of the old testament. That is why in Hebrews God says
“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;”
The new covenant does not abolish the spiritual law it. It establishes that law in a much deeper way .
This is the new covenant. It is not observed in old testament ritual practises. Instead it is written in our hearts and minds. The new covenant does not exempt us from doing what is right .
A Christian can still sin and suffer being chastised by God .
How did Adam and Eve know that they had sinned ? They had come to the knowledge of good and evil. So even before the law of Moses the spiritual law was there and Adam and Eve had to be punished. Likewise Cain was guilty for killing Abel.
The Mosaic laws were given to Moses to enable God’s people and subsequently the world, to have some understanding of the spiritual law and it’s requirements foreshadowing the New Covenant.
So what I am saying is that whilst the law wont save us the spiritual law must still be obeyed. As Paul says :-
Romans 6
1 “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2″God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
And again
14 “For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.”
15 “What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
It is still possible for a Christian to sin because of his carnal nature.
P.S.
I don’t remember quoting James. Perhaps that was someone else that you were in conversation with.
With regard to your comment on Johns letter. John was ministering to the ‘Christian’ Jews who had entered into the new testament. So John’s letters are addressed to Christians.
The Greek word below is often translated as ‘sin’ in the new testament.

Paul is not saying that what you refer to as the spiritual law is still in force. He said the law must be dead to you before you can marry another and bring forth fruit unto God(Rom.7:4). Not because the law was bad. But, because it could never save anyone. It was never meant for that purpose.
Like I showed before, Paul names one of the laws that men must be dead to so that you would know he is talking about the 10 commandments as well as the rest of the law. The 10 commandments are no more spiritual law than the rest of the law was.
Paul says in Rom.8:2 that “the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death”. He says in 2Cor.3:7 that this law he has been set free from was “the ministration of death”. And where does Paul say these laws were? Those written on stones. The 10 commandments were the laws written on stones, right?
Here’s the verse- “But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
The law is the system that God gave to Israel. Not to save them. But, as Paul taught in Gal.3:19 it was only to keep them as a people for Messiah to come through. And since Jesus has come the law has served it’s purpose. This is why Paul says it has been “abolished” in Eph.2:15. And why Heb.10:9 tells them it has been “taken away”. Because the covenant that is in Jesus Christ is a “better covenant with better promises”. Heb.8:6
So as long as you remain joined to the law by thinking you must keep it you can never be joined with Christ. Because “ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.” Rom.7:4. Therefore, if the law is not dead to you then Paul says you can not bring forth fruit unto God.
Let this sink in. You will bear no fruit unto God if the law is not dead to you. Not because the law is bad. But, because “there was never a law given that could give life”. Gal.3:21

Paul is expressing the problem in the portion of the verses you cite. Not the answer. The solution is when he asks “who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ my Lord.”
He is delivered from the law of sin and death which is ministration of death written on stones by the Spirit of life that is in Christ Jesus. Never to think in terms of law keeping for righteousness again. But, only grace through faith which brings him into a personal relationship with Jesus. Rather than a very impersonal relationship to the law and works.

Hello Ed, Thankyou for your courtesy in this conversation. I am not here to argue for arguments sake. My hope is that the truth will prevail and that we will both be winners.
here is my understanding
Verse 25 is the last verse in Romans 7 where Paul Paul has reached his conclusion to the questions asked in the previous verses.
25I”thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.”
So in conclusion Paul says clearly that he serves rhe law of God.
The truth is that the spiritual law has not been abolished. God will use the spiritual law to judge the nations on the day of judgement. So what has changed fot us Christians is our RELATIONSHIP to that law.
For the carnal man the law is oppressive because it is not in his nature. As he looks to the law he is reminded of how sinful and depraved he is. For the born again Christian, his new nature deligts in the law and his desire is to serve the law, just like the apostle Paul, He is now a slave to righteosness in obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ.
This means that there will be much internal strife as the new nature wars against the old. This is what Paul is referring to when he says “. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin”.
It seems that you are locked in the dispensationalist prison and cant see beyond it’s walls. You interpereted Pauls mention of his dispensation to make it mean an age/era, when in fact what Paul was referring to was the administration given to him by God, which he was duty bound to perform. You say that the law has been abolised and that we are not to be joined to it,when Paul says the opposite.
As Christians we have been brought into the new testament ushered in by Jesus and His perfect sacrifice on the cross. I would put it to you that God has always been gracious. He has not limited his grace to a specific age. Through faith Moses and Elijah were saved as were many other saints in the old testament. They were men chosen by God and are part of God’s church.
God’s church exists in the old testament as well as the new the new testament. ‘Dispensationalism ‘ tries to divide God’s church by over dividing the word of God. This results in a disjointed misunderstanding of God’s word.
The efficacy of Jesus’ sacrifice is eternal and it’s efficacy extends into the past, present and future for all of God’s church, including the old testament saints.
This is my understanding. If you can find any fault in what I believe then please let me know. For me the didpensationaist approach, which includes a pretribulation rapture, just doesn’t fit.
I think it is important that we continue this conversation and not allow ourselves to be bullied into silence by some self appointed moderator who craves attention.

So our dispensation was different from what went before us. This is also shown in Jesus’ teaching in Mark10:17-21 to the rich young ruler where He told him that to have eternal life he must Do the works of the law AND follow Jesus. Whereas Paul taught that eternal life is by grace through faith without works. Eph.2:8,9.
Based upon this we can see why Paul said in Rom.6:14 that they are not under the dominion of sin any longer because they are not under law, but they are in a different dispensation. The dispensation of the grace of God.

The woed used in Ephesians 3 is the greek word
οι᾿κονομι´α
oikonomia; means , stewardship,/administration.
Paul is referring to his stewardship. This cannot possibly be taken to mean an era or an age, as you seem to suggest.
Eph 3:2 “If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:”
Paul is clearly referring to the stewardship/administration of of the gospel of grace that God is directing him to administer to the Ephesians.
The same Greek word is used in 1Corinthians 9:17 where Paul refers again to his calling to administration/stewardship of the gospel in 1 Corinthians 9:17
“For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.”
The very same Greek word is used three times in Luke 16:2,3, and 4 and is rendered as “stewardship”.
2And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.
3Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
4I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
So the word dispensation in Ephesians means stewardship/administration. Paul was given this administration by God and it was his duty do carry it out as ordained by God.
Your quote from Mark 10 doesn’t support your argument for your doctrine of ‘dispensationalism’
Being saved by grace does not exempt us from doing good works and obedience to God. Faith without works is dead. We are told to work out our salvation with fear and trembling.
Abraham believed and it was counted to him as righteousness but his faith was made evident in his obedience and willingness to carry out God’s command.
Although we are chosen in Christ from before the foundation of the world we are told make our election sure.
We are saved by grace and not of ourselves, it is a gift of God . That grace is made evident through good works. The good works are not of ourselves but it is the Spirit of God working in us causing us to obey the commands of God, producing fruits that befit a child of God.
What has been replaced by Jesus sacrifice on the cross is the ritualistic law of the old testament but the spiritual law can never be nullified. The spiritual law demands more from us than the ritualistic law.
The man Jesus spoke to, was challenged by the spiritual law. Jesus did not tell him to sacrifice a lamb for his sins. Instead He pointed him to the spiritual law which must still be obeyed today. The rich man was keeping much of the spiritual law but ran into difficulty when it meant him having to give up his wealth. Putting God before worldly possessions was a command that he found too difficult to obey.
I hope you found this helpful.

Anthony,
Yes, Paul is referring to the message of Christ that he has been given stewardship over. A message that says all men are saved by grace through faith without works. Not by faith + works that Israel was under as the teaching Jesus told to the rich young ruler in Mark10 who was under the law. This shows a very distinct difference between what Jesus taught to those who were under the law, and what Paul was given from Jesus to teach in the dispensation of the grace of God we know as the New Covenant. Hence the word dispensation.
And while it’s true that being under grace does not “exempt us from doing good works and obedience to God”, as Eph.2:10 clearly attests. Being under grace does exempt us from the law given to Israel alone from Moses that ended with Jesus(Gal.3:19). Because Paul said in Rom.7:1-4 that if a man continues in obedience to God through the law he can not be joined with Christ. Because Paul says he must be dead to the law to be joined with Christ. As dead as a husband had to be to a wife for her to be able to remarry without being an adulteress.
This is why dispensational thinking is necessary for the man who will no longer be under the dominion of sin. Because as Paul very plainly taught, to be joined with Christ is to be dead to the law.

no you are not under the law, the law was nailed to the cross. Christ did not come to throw the law under the bus, so to speak, but to fulfill it in its entirety. Christ is the embodiment of the law. Grace saves you and that is not of yourself, it is the free gift of God, but you still must try to obey the commandments if you can. no one on this planet cannot keep all ten points of the law, even if you break one point of the law which we all do then you broke all of them. Christ death on the cross freed us from the law of death and spending an eternity in hell, so my friend there is no where in the scripture that speaks of dispensational thinking what so ever in the context you are trying to make it fit to your biblical agenda. this is incorrect thinking and will get you into very big trouble with God when you stand before him at the final judgment.

Yes, we are not under law. No. We do not “try to obey the commandments”. In fact, we don’t even think in those terms if we are saved by grace. Because Heb.9:14 says our conscience is purged from those dead works so that we don’t even think about impersonal law keeping anymore. But, only in the personal relationship we have with Jesus.
No. Christ is not the embodiment of the law. In Him was the fulness of the Godhead bodily. The law is not God. And God is not the law. The law was temporary. God is eternal. The law was given to Israel to keep them a separate people purely human until the one came to whom the promise was made(Gal.3:19). Therefore the law that began with Moses ended with Jesus’ death and resurrection. It’s purpose being fulfilled.
Only those who are under the law are in violation of all when only one is violated. Those who are under grace do not even think in terms of law keeping. Because they have had their consciences purged from those dead works. As long as you “try to keep the law” you are joined to it and not to Christ(Rom.7:1-4).
These define the dispensation of the grace of God vs the dispensation prior to it from which this dispensation was hid. We are not under law because that was a different dispensation. We are under the dispensation of the grace of God. We are saved by grace through faith without works. They were saved by faith + works. Huuuge difference.

Also I have recently been told by somebody who posts on Leo’s blogs that believing in dispensationalism is heresy! I kid you not! It was never thought about prior to Scofield and Darby, which is very funny as the early church fathers had no problems with the concept!

We are not in the 7 year tribulation period. Rapture of the Church, first, then the Tribulation time clock begins.

Dear Children, it is the last hour; and just as you have heard that the unrestrained antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. This is how we know it is the last hour. The foolish virgins in Christ’s Bride went out from us, idolatrously returning to Sodom’s Socially-Secured “City of Destruction”. But they (the Devil’s tares) never did belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have faithfully remained with us. But their departure, like Lot’s faithless wife under demonic delusion, vainly attempted to preserve their souls within the antichrist’s Marxist Security System. Therefore making it clear that none of them belonged to us. 1 John 2:18
Remember the early church days that you were in the light of Christ’s kingdom. In those days, you endured a great conflict in the face of suffering great tribulation under Caesar Nero’s rule. Sometimes you were publicly exposed to ridicule and persecution; at other times you were partners with those who were so treated. You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, knowing that you yourselves had better and permanent possession. So do not throw away the confidence of your citizenship in Heaven; it holds a great reward. You need to persevere so that after you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised. Hebrews 10:30

God ordered His beloved Son Jesus (also God) to go through with the crucifixion. So God isn’t asking anything of His children He isn’t willing to go through Himself.
The Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath are different. They’re like the Plagues of Egypt. God helped shelter the Hebrews from the worst of those.
Revelation 13 refers to Christians going through the forty two months of the Beast Government. But the pre trib rapture folks believe these Christians convert after the rapture. Like the Thief in the Night seventies flicks. Or the more recent Kirk Cameron movies.
The church I attend now is “amillennial.” I also find the post millennialism of Doug Wilson inspiring. I don’t know what to think, but I’m leaning toward post trib premillennialism more and more as events play out.
I’m ashamed of my cowardice. I know the techniques being used on everyone because I’ve been through them years before. Technocrats scare me–and repulse me. Worse than enormous spiders. But God knows best. His will be done whatever happens.

Sometimes, Leo, dying for Christ is a lot easier than living for Him and I do think you need to address that question to your Lord. Even Jesus told us that in this world we will have tribulation (trouble) but we are to take heart because He has overcome this world. However for us to question what is happening to another man’s servant – ie those who have been martyred for being believers, is really not on.
So let me get this straight, because, over the centuries, people have been tortured and martyred for Christ, including being tortured and martyred by the ‘church’ itself we all have to be tortured and martyred? I truly find that concept incomprehensible, firstly because, our thoughts are not God’s thoughts nor are His ways our ways so it is a bit like the pot complaining to the potter. Secondly, what kind of a god are you portraying?
I was once, for me, in an incredibly frightening situation where a large man was right in my face and yelling at me, his hands were fists and he was shaking with rage, at that point I knew absolutely no fear whatsoever, I know this was my God equiping me with what I needed right at that moment, do you not think He can do that for all those who have been martyred? For example did you watch that video where all those Christians in orange jump suits on the beach with their ISIS captors are singing praises to God as each one is slaughtered? I am not special I am just an adopted child of God, as they are, and I can testify to what He does for His children when they are in frightening situations.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share, because, in writing this, I have been strengthened and encouraged for whatever this day, week, year, etc, may bring.

I do not mind Christians having a disagreement over the timing of the Rapture BUT what I do mind is when information is given which is not actually accurate. If you had studied the early church fathers you would then realise that the Rapture doctrine was alive and well then, some were for various times of it occurring but the majority were pre-trib. As for suggesting that the rapture was a teaching which never existed before the 1800s (I presume you are vaguely referring to John Nelson Darby?) I recommend “Dispensationalism Before Darby – 17th and 18th century English Apocalypticism” by William C. Watson in which you will find it was alive and well long before 1830!
Watson is Professor of History at Colorado Christian University and specialises in 17th and 18th century English history. He received a B.A. in History from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, an M.Div. from Talbot School of Theology, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in British history from the University of California, Riverside. He was a 2004 Fulbright Scholar in Moldova and is a frequent conference speaker on British theology and history.

A lot of the Tim LaHaye style of thinkers imagine Western–or at least American–Christians are too special to have to endure persecution. That God owes them a “rapture.” This word is not found in the Bible and was cooked up in the 1830’s by a Scottish psychic named Margaret MacDonald who influenced Scofield.
In the 1940’s the Chinese fell away or gave up in despair when the Communists took over. Why? They expected a Rapture to escape the persecution.
People can debate over whether or not this is the Tribulation or not. Perhaps they are right and it isn’t. But it looks as if there will soon be widespread global persecution of the Church on a scale never seen before. Call this persecution what you will.
It will be over soon. But the glory before us will never end.

But never forget the first time the restrainer is referred to in the second chapter of Paul’s second letter to the church in Thessalonika He is referred to in the neuter (something we do not have in English) but the second time, a few words later He is referred to as a He and the orthodox protestant belief has always been that this refers to the Holy Spirit Who, thank God, is still with us.

The Bride – or the ‘church’. per se, does not appear in the Book of Revelation from chapter 4 until the middle of chapter 19. we are all in heaven having a brilliant time while God finally unleashes His judgment on an unbelieving world and, ultimately saves His chosen people the Jews.
As for us already being in the Tribulation which, throughout, is God’s wrath – see the fact it is the Lamb of God Who opens the seals – what is going on is a picnic because the Holy Spirit is still here as He resides in each of Jesus’ disciples and it is only when we are removed that God’s judgment can fall because the Holy Spirit will no longer be here within each adopted child of God to counteract evil.

We are not permitted to enter an establishment which has the potential to hold more than 10 people including staff which means, right now, we cannot even go and pick up a parcel which has been sent to us from the UK at our main post office! My husband will be taking our friend, who, because of her job, has to be tested regularly, as it is her day off, in the hopes she will be able to collect the parcel. Thank God she is a fellow disciple and thank God she works at our favourite supermarket because they do not sell online everything we wish to purchase, she has to buy things for us too. I am trusting I will be allowed to enter the premises of an opthalmologist I have to see on Friday. What I am showing you is that what I am experiencing right now you will too. You will be, in effect, trapped in your own home unable to go anywhere. I find this doubly hard as my beloved and I loved to go to restaurants where we would seek from the Lord if there was anyone with whom we could talk about Jesus, now we cannot even do that. Apart from our friend, who is also our cleaner whose main language is French and none of us are that good at Greek and so we have very little conversation with her, we see nobody from one week’s end to the next. We have just one lovely Christian friend in Limassol who has no problems spending time with us but she works and Limassol is a distance away. By the way we are in our late 70s so if there are people you know in this age group please, please, please, do not neglect them.

I have experienced EVIL as a child through paedophiles who were warlocks, what we are going through right now is an absolute picnic compared to when the Tribulation starts. The EVIL I experienced was with God’s permission but when the Tribulation happens it will be His judgment on a disbelieving world. What I went through was just a result of a sinsick world.

“For consider your calling, brothers and sisters, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, and the insignificant things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, so that no human may boast before God.”
“And He (Jesus) has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.”

The Old Testament records prophetically the coming of Jesus Christ, The Messiah Saviour of the world IN Bethlehem AND there are over 800 words that confirmed this before the event. There is also the most incredible establishing of Israel as a nation in 1948, again forthtold in the Old Testament and you have the gall to consider people that rely upon the Word of God to be stupid?
You are so sadly lacking in the realisation that we who follow the Word of God know well [or should do] that the current world wide crisis is a instrument of the evil one to bring about the New World Order, New One World Financial control and The One World Religion.
This has been forthold in scripture and it shall happen. There is no point in railing about this NOR am I meekly hanging my head down and SUBMITTING to this.
As Leo is proclaiming what is happening and warning us about what might happen it is a vital part of our preparing to continue to STAND against the evil one until God takes us out of here.
We cannot stop what is happening any more you can spit into the wind and not receive that back upon yourself.
Your ranting is futile but standing with Jesus Christ and following Him is not. THEREFORE this is why all that I and many others say is firmly founded upon scriptures.

May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the Lucifer’s Socially Secured world order has been crucified to me, and I to the world. James 4:4; Galatians 6:14

That is utterly priceless and does not deserve a response.

Tribulation does not commence until after the Church the Body of Christ is raptured off this planet. That is the “restrainer” holding the Antichrist back currently. So, look up and be glad, your redeemer draweth nigh!

Julie, that is one interpretation but certainly not the only one. I hope you are right but I personally hold to the post trib interpretation, which I think lines up much better with the whole of scripture. But if your interpretation ends up being the correct one, we post-tribbers have nothing to lose! God bless you and thank you for your comment dear sister!

Thank you for that and your consideration that I did not know this, I have been required to be very circumspect when speaking about this prticular scriptural incident therefore this is why I am not making any reference to it, but I am in complete agreement with you.

Check out Jim Corbett and the Agora concept. Also look into DollarVigilante.com. People are very aware of this and are creating alternatives to this technocratic scheme.

I already listen to James Corbett and David Knightly semi regularly.

Rachel, the reason so many are willing to live under such a horrible situation is that they fear for their natural lives. And that fear has driven them to accept whatever fate the beast has for them at the moment. Thinking it’s better than losing their natural life.
But, Jesus said, “He who saves his life shall lose it. And he who loses his life for my sake shall save it.” This life is just a vapor. Here one moment, gone the next. But our life with Jesus is eternal. Best to trust in Him, and reject the offer of the beast system.

Bless you, how sweet you are but I do wonder if you know how many times this has been said to Rachel and how many times she just keeps whining? her witness to Jesus is not exactly very obvious is it. It is not as though we are all supposed to be gung-ho and we all have challenges in our lives but I have rarely come across anybody who whinges as much as she does. I am just too grateful that the Lord loves us, He cares for us and He gave His life for us in order for us to be back into a relationship with the Father free from guilt and from shame and then to have eternal life, to know we are going to be in the presence of Jesus for ever is the most amazing icing on the cake! This is not triumphalism, this is what God is offering to all His adopted children, all they have to do is to reach out for every promise He has ever given us.

PomerOy. This is an eleventh century surname which came to England in 1066 so it is good to see it written correctly.

I need to clarify. It’s only from the physical side that things are like a horror story for Christians. After we die or the world comes to an end things will be very beautiful.
But right now my eyes can only see the only world I ever knew is in its death throws.
My faith in Christ tells me things will be better soon. But my fleshly eyes only see everything dying. As if everyone I know–including myself–has terminal cancer.
I suffered iatrophobia long before this farce began. Now the mere sight of a doctor nauseates me or causes me to hyperventilate. Lord willing this will be over soon.
What we’re experiencing now is my worst nightmare come true. Not the Scary Sniffles but living under the total control of a global medical dictatorship. It scares me more than death itself. I know this is irrational and don’t expect anyone to even try to understand why I’m so terrified.
I survived and escaped medical torture years ago. Now they are coming to my door to hunt me down. Lord willing this will end soon.
