There are too many ‘Pigs in the Parlor’: Western civilization is sick and dying; is it too late for a deliverance?

The news lately is so bizarre that I feel like I’m living in a novel or a horror movie.

We’ve got a former president and candidate for a second term who’s been indicted four times by the current presidential administration, the latest incidence punctuated with a criminal mugshot sent out across the internet. I know some of the charges are coming from the state level in New York and Georgia but it’s obvious they’re all working together with the feds to eliminate this one guy from the presidential race.

Nearly the entire island of Maui went up in flames, killing more people than any fire to hit America in 100 years, and the globalist elites are blaming it on “climate change.”

And now we’ve got a rogue government lurching toward a second round of mandates and potential lockdowns.

Natalie Winters is reporting that the federal government has already begun buying COVID-19 equipment and contracting with private consultants to enforce pandemic-era “safety protocols.”

The enforcements could begin as early as next month with mandatory face diapers.

Some of these contracts are scheduled to begin in September and October and many run through 2028. Yes, you read that right, 2028.

Watch Winters below talking about this breaking news story.

So the federal government, led by the Department of Defense, is contracting with private firms to enact fear-based Covid lockdowns 2.0. This is pure fascism — big business working with big government to oppress the people. But that’s how technocracy works.

Technocracy is much different than Marxism or communism. In a Marxist state you have government ownership of the means of production. But in a technocracy, which is the preferred model of self-appointed globalist elites at the World Economic Forum, the Rockefeller Foundation, Gates Foundation, Club of Rome, United Nations, et al, you have government working in public-private partnerships (PPPs) with large corporations to create, staff and enforce an all-encompassing digital surveillance state. Think of it as Naziism on a global scale with access to modern digital tracking technology. They still believe in eugenics. Still believe they are superior to the rest of us. Still believe the herd of “useless eaters” needs to be culled to a more manageable size.

It’s no accident that the globalists have rolled out their favorite satanic pseudoscientist, Dr. Anthony Fauci. In preparing minds for Covid 2.0, he now openly argues for locking down everyone who has yet to submit to his death jabs. Below, Lord Fauci speaks to us in a video interview with a Wayne State University professor in Detroit.

“If you have a vaccine available, you might want to lock down temporarily so you can get everybody vaccinated,” Fauci says.

He then argues that “lockdowns have a place, but they are not a permanent solution.”

I guess at this point in the interview we are supposed to be completely infused with Stockholm Syndrome, bow down to kiss Fauci’s feet and thank him profusely for his graciousness in not locking us down permanently.

Fauci, the longtime NIAID chief and a multi-millionaire who’s never done anything but work for the government, then declares that “climate change” is “playing a role” in causing pandemics.

He calls for an “international commitment to decrease the carbon imprint in society so you don’t have the kinds of crazy weather we’re having in this country.”

Yes, he actually said that. I don’t know if he believes it, but he did say it. Why? Because he is doing his part to lay the narrative that humans cause climate change and therefore we must change the way we live or be subject to perpetual lockdowns.

He went on to blame the tragedy in Maui on climate change.

It does appear that the Luciferians who brought us Covid 1.0 have something much more draconian up their sleeves in the waning weeks of 2023 and into 2024. The first version was merely a test run for what’s coming. The final implementation stage of their demonic “great reset” will require every human being to be vaxxed, continuously boosted, tagged with a biometric digital ID, and tracked everywhere they go, unable to buy or sell or participate in society without the digital marking.

All of this is being led primarily by globalist elites in the U.S. and Europe. China is already subdued. It appears that the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and most of Europe have already been subjugated. The only nations who still present a problem to the reset crowd are the U.S. and Russia.

America is a nation under demonic oppression that is in desperate need of a deliverance. As I write this, the 1973 book, Pigs in the Parlor, comes to mind. It’s a how-to manual on “confrontational spiritual warfare.” I’m not endorsing the book or its theology. I just remember picking it up in a Christian bookstore some 20 years ago and skimming through it. The title and topic has stuck with me all these years. There comes a point, usually after years of oppression, when a possession becomes so manifest, so complete, that it takes total spiritual warfare to defeat the forces of wickedness which oppress an individual’s soul. The same goes for a nation and a culture. America and the West are in that place. Its culture is so sick from decades of idolatry and worshipping of false gods that nothing short of recogizing what we are up against and then attacking it in the powerful name of Jesus Christ through repentence, constant prayer and fasting will lead to deliverance.

In other words, it’s time to get confrontational. It’s time to stop worrying what they think of us if we don’t put on their putrid masks, or take their poisonous injections. How did that work out in Covid 1.0? The demons walked all over us and laughed on their way out. It’s time to humbly put on the full armor of God, recogize who and what we are up against — undiluted evil — and go to war.

  1. The committed luciferians of this world no doubt have folks in organizations, governments, and high places of power.
    Depopulation is their goal, eugenics or extermination. They believe I think, that with their (AI) artificial intelligence and technological advances in robotics and genetic engineering we whom (not in the club) should be disposed of, as being no longer beneficial to their Utopian plan.

    1. I remember asking a friend, “What’s with all the zombies?” When something is in one or two movies you can say, That’s odd. But with repeated themes and images I start to think the Hollywood folks want us to think something. Fear of disease at irrational levels. And the focus on the “undead” seems to be a mockery of the Christian hope of the Resurrection.

  3. Hebrew: Lo acher elohim al panim
    Only scripture written by YHVH himself, the finger of God engraved in stone.
    First commandment that He wrote:
    literal translation- “don’t you dare cover (with) gods the face”
    more clearly- “don’t have any gods covering the face”
    We read “don’t have any other gods before me”

    Birkhat Kohannim/ Aaronic Blessing:
    The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his FACE SHINE UPON THEE, and be gracious unto thee: -Numbers 6:25

    YHVH’s opening words of the WORD:
    In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and DARKNESS WAS UPON THE FACE of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
    -Genesis 1:2
    Darkness (chosheth) was considered an evil enemy of God by ancient Hebrew scholars. It is to be removed by “the LIGHT” which is recognized in NT as the Messiah.

    Hallel Ben Shachar or Lucifer (in Latin) knows the scriptures quite adequately indeed and He requires masks in the worship of his followers because covering of the face is shameful for men and represents the separation/ exclusion in a woman.

    The covering of the face makes a person
    occultic “hidden/ unidentified” deceitful.

    The godhead, the holy angels, and the fallen angels are all old school by the way.
    Modern ways and viewpoints are simply foolishness to all of the ancient ones.

    1. That’s a wonderful teaching, Hananiah, thank you! I love the Hebrew, too!

      In light of some of the discussions in Leo’s story about masks, it led me to start thinking about how the opposite of God shining His face as a blessing, was Him hiding it or turning away. I don’t know if the scriptures referring to this mean that God actually physically hid His face or turned His back when He was withdrawing His favor or presence. But whatever the meaning, it was almost always considered a bad thing:

      “Then My anger shall be aroused against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide My face from them.” (Deuteronomy 31:17-18)

      This one is more hopeful and a beautiful testimony of His love and mercy for Israel:

      “I was angry for a moment
      and hid my face from you;
      but with everlasting grace
      I will have compassion on you,
      says ADONAI your Redeemer.” (Isaiah 54:8)

      An exception is when God turns away from (forgives) sins:

      “Hide Your face from my sins,
      And blot out all my iniquities.” (Psalm 51:9)

      Some last thoughts on what had to be the most poignant moment of God “hiding His face.”

      When Jesus was at His worst moment of agony on the cross, besides being abandoned by His disciples except for John, His mother and a few other women, He was being mocked and ridiculed. It’s hard to imagine anyone doing this to a dying man, especially one suffering that kind of physical torture. What they didn’t know is that He was also mentally, emotionally, and spiritually struggling under the crippling weight of their sins and of all mankind – a reality that only those watching from Heaven could fully grasp.

      If ever He needed to feel the love, strength, and support of Abba (“Daddy”), it was at that moment. Until then, He’d had unbroken fellowship with Him. But the penalty for sin demanded death and total separation of the spirit from God. When Jesus became sin as He was dying, He experienced the full judgment upon Him without the loving presence and comfort of His Father. It was the agony of hell.

      I can’t possibly fathom the amount of anguish His Father must have felt at that moment too and hearing Jesus cry out, “Eloi Eloi Lama Sabachthani?” What Dad wouldn’t want to scoop up his little son in his arms and hug him close if he were suffering through some terrible trauma?

      You can almost imagine the absolute, stunned silence in Heaven as all were watching this precious Son fight the battle on His own. But then the moment it was over and won – the whole atmosphere exploding with rejoicing and singing and praise to the Lamb!

      It’s comforting to know that the Lord will never turn His face away from us no matter how bad things get. He’s promised that He’ll be with us always, “even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20)

    I feel the same way, Leo. It’s like some mega-nightmare, only it’s real and you can’t wake up from it. Wishing someone would stop this furious, dizzying merry-go-round ride so you can get off. It’s really difficult to absorb the shock of it all when it’s at such a relentless pace. At times, the cumulative effect of story after story on this website that hits me in the gut has made me lose steam and I can’t muster up any comments until I get a second wind.

    No Left Behind books I’ve read or Christian end times movie or even sci-fi flicks I’ve watched could ever have prepared me for the absolute demonic nature, intensity, and speed of events that have been happening in these last three years especially.

    Looking back at that CBN video you posted in your previous story of the interview with John Whitehead, some words of Gordon Robertson really stunned me because just ten years ago I never would have dreamed that I’d be hearing him say them now: “…it’s absolutely chilling to me…How have we gotten to 80,000 SWAT team raids a single year? We’ve become a surveillance state. We’re well on our way to becoming a police state.”

    I don’t know how some Christians can cheerily call these times “exciting” because the grief, fury, and fear I’ve been feeling at every hideous action by monsters setting up a one-world enslavement make me wish this whole thing could be postponed.

    My husband and I are approaching our seventh decade of life. Back in the 80s, when I read Hal Lindsey’s Late Great Planet Earth, I imagined that it would take a long, long time for any end times events to unfold, maybe not in my lifetime or at least not until I was well into my 80s or even 90s. If the Lord doesn’t pause things on His timetable (at least ten years or more would be nice), then we all need to do as you recommend, Leo. Put on the full armor of God and go to war.

    Satan has never stopped fighting against Him or mankind, so every human being is born into a battle. But we each have a choice as to who our Commander In Chief will be.

    1. Too bad this doesn’t resemble the Left Behind novels more. Then more might realize where this is leading.
      This real-life scenario makes a whole lot more sense than those novels though. They depict the UN asking this young man to take over the world because people liked the way he read off the directory of the nation state members. I kid you not. The Beast does not use the disappearance of a third of the world population to seize power through emergency. Aside from some plane crashes there are few calamities pre-Beast.
      Horrifying as this situation is, it still fits together better than those novels. Also the Salem Kirban book 666 and those Thief in the Night movies from the seventies.

        Really insightful comments and food for though, Rachel. Yeah, although believable at the time they were written, looking at those novels through the lens of today, LaHaye and Jenkins now seem shortsighted, and the story line simplistic. Their emphasis on the UN shows that maybe they didn’t do enough research into the history, government, and politics of the last century because the steps leading up to today’s power grab have roots dating all the way back to the League of Nations or even before that, and the leader in the race now is really the WEF, with the UN subservient.

        Also, as you pointed out, the idea of “few calamities,” as though that would be sufficient to herd humanity toward the NWO, shows the authors didn’t’ quite grasp human psychology and the potential of blowback from people who don’t want to be enslaved or coerced (for instance, into being vaxxed). Which is why the elites have a whole host of planned disasters they’ve been executing and will continue to in order to create an atmosphere of chaos and fear.

        But who knew until 2020 what a huge role big pharma and virology would play in these moves toward total control? Or that encroachment by NATO over decades, although historically documented, would lead to a Ukraine war that could trigger WWIII. How many knew, too, about the Deagel forecast? But even though there’s a linear historical progression in the formation of the NWO, the luciferian strategies (like the virus/vax) contributing to its assembly are a maze of endless twists and turns that have a warped ingenuity and depth of cruelty no narrative of LaHaye and Jenkins could ever imagine, making this, as you said, a horrifying situation.

        It can be nerve-wracking trying to second-guess what they’re up to next.

  5. Leo, I want you to consider this possibility and maybe awaken others to it. Sorry if it gets posted twice but I truly believe it is important to put this out.

    If I wanted to get rid of resistors, and keep the submissive, here is how I would do it. First I would unleash a FAKE pandemic with a backing propaganda campaign, then introduce a not so deadly shot to see who was the most willing to take it (most susceptible to brainwashing). After a while, I switch to a more lethal shot, or one that will lead to quick death from untraceable reasons for those who stalled too long and had to be forced to take it under threat of losing their job.

    Then, after some time passed and memories faded, I would reintroduce all of the same failing policies that pissed off the resistors the most. Lockdowns, masks, social distancing, etc. Except this time, I would offer up a vaccine to those early takers that would actually protect against the REAL BIOWEAPON I was going to introduce knowing those I wanted to target would resist and be left unprepared and susceptible to the weapon. Leaving me with few gun owners and a lot of complicit sheep to help clean up the mess.

    You see, the beauty of it all is that you get your MASS GENOCIDE of gun owners most likely to use them, protect those most likely to serve you well, and most importantly you gain the proof you need that vaccines are effective after all so people will line up for them in the future.

    Much of what is going on now is to clean the history books of the future of what really happened. History will record that the first vaccines really worked well, but COVID came back because of the unvaccinated. When it came back, the vaccinated survived, so you have proof for the history books of tomorrow that you did no crimes against humanity today.

    All I am saying is that one needs to watch what is happening in reality, as opposed to on the TV news. In this reverse psychology gambit, the bankers are served by a lesser push early and a vaccine shortage later once people realize the REAL BIOWEAPON has been deployed (and there will be no mistaking it).

    As Bill Gates and his ugly wife said with devilish smirks, “it will get their attention this time”. Bill Gates has always been fond of Smallpox and it kills indiscriminately. And It’s easy to make a working vaccine for it that will not kill the recipients.

    The people need to be ready to witness dead bodies bleeding from every opening, hundreds of thousands a month if not a week. I thought in 2020 this would be the winter of HELL. It seems I might be right, but COVID will not be cause.

    I expect before the calendar is turned to 2025 that Deagles forecast will come to pass and we will see about 250 million people die in this country alone. And it will be happening everywhere, and the “vaccines” given to each country will determine how many die in each country.

    Going forward my only goal is to stop God from using these bankster tools as my ride home.

    Lastly, if you don’t know how to make colloidal silver, get the stuff and learn how now. It literally takes a couple of 9v batteries, 2 jumper wires, two .9999 fine silver rods you can get from Amazon or Ebay, and distilled water.

    It will save your life, but remember the most important part is to make sure you take an amount big enough for the job. When I have a tooth abscess or something major, I’ll drink anywhere from 2 to 4 cups a day for 10 days.

    The bottles in the store say take 1 teaspoon every four hours. And people wonder why it doesn’t work. That’s like taking 1 milligram of penicillin and expecting it to cure anything.

I always said, even in the first round, that even if the shots worked, it was against my religious principles to get it because it messes with your genetic codes and aborted babies were used to make them, at least in the testing stages. For that reason, I don’t believe any real pro-life Christian can take these genetic “vaccines” in good conscience once they are aware of these facts.

        What I am saying is to not get a chip on your shoulder and start running around like there is nothing happening. This time, as Gates said and I believe, IT WILL BE FOR REAL.

        This time around it will NOT be a dressed up flu with the most massive marketing campaign in history. It will be deadly, and targeted. My post was my opinion about how they will target it.

        I could be wrong. It could be nothing but more flu and vaccines, but I doubt it. They have limited time, and they know it. This time I expect the HARD KILL, and people should be aware of the possibility for the best chance of surviving it.

        There is nothing to be afraid of, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be cautious. For me, the worst that can happen is I get home to God a little sooner than I might have otherwise.

Totally agree, I regretfully had to break ties with people I thought I could trust who took the shots after they had been shown by a mutual friend concern about using aborted babies , genetic code issues, along with not being tested in trials. We had been going to an indep. church for several decades, but decided to quit altogether by the time it reoped after lockdowns even tho some attending knew about globalism. Others told me some pastors were pushing the shots in other churches. They either quit right away or moved membership elsewhere. I knew then home church or small groups made sense ongoing.

      At least two thirds of Americans have taken it. Not just Democrats. (Thank you, Trump.) While we have more guns a lot on our side will be crippled or dead too. Enough survivors to have a full scale civil war. Just like our enemies want.

  8. A starting point for the discussion of Mask wearing:

    If there is no indisputable and definitively known scientific, medical or moral fact that the wearing of a Mask has any remedial or protective quality whatsoever; and there isn’t such a document, or even a close consensus among the scientific or medical world.

    Or, the rules in which it is to be worn; the when, where and for how long, ie. (from the restaurant door to your table and then can be safely removed, it has preformed its magical powers) stand on no logical or rational basis, it’s merely perfidy.

    Then why is the Mask requirement ( ritual ) imposed?

    Because it is just that, a ritual.
    The ritual divides us.
    The ritual binds us.

    A virtual signaling of our willingness to obey demonic powers.
    A virtual signaling that our voices are to be silent, even if just for a little while.
    A virtual signaling that God’s creation of soul and spirit expressed in the human face is of no meaning, value or perhaps existence.
    A virtual signaling that truth doesn’t matter, but just going along for the sake of getting along does.

    The esoteric symbolism of the Masked face is powerful fuel for the satanist, who both create and impose the ritual.
    When we take part in the ritual, against our spiritual convictions and understanding that God has given us, we weaken our spiritual defense and our spiritual testimony of hope and understanding to those who are searching.

    Thank God all the Old Testament Prophets and New Testament Apostle’s didn’t compromise for convenience.

      2. Your welcome Leo.

        Thank you for being a “watchman on the wall” and providing a platform where we, of our own volition, can come to the public square and listen, share, compare and in the end hopefully find good reason to take the time to truly examine our own understanding and see how close does it compare to “ The Way, The Truth and The Life “ of the Lord Jesus Christ.

        If we observe, discern and react to the events of the world through the flesh only, we will never understand or react correctly. Our view must be a “Biblical World View” of all things, both material and spiritual, they can not be divided or compartmentalized. In other words, there is the world I live in and deal with and then there are my religious views. We are not called to practice a religion. We are called to live The Way The Truth and The Life of Christ

        “These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.” I Corinthians 2: 13-16

    2. Those cloth face masks are worn during occult rituals and bondage porn I hear. They can’t help but affect people. The mask lovers claim they’re kind and want to save lives but exhibit demonic levels of cruelty in forcing everyone else to wear one. If someone gets sick or passes out the mask lover laughs and taunts them for being weak. Disgusting.
      I don’t want to be around people who act that way. And the facelessness adds to their creep factor.

      1. Masks and clothes can be worn for different reasons. Wearing a face covering can be effective for protecting the lungs during cold weather which is why many people wear scarves and full face balaclavas during winter.
        Criminals have been known to wear balaclavas to hide their identity but that doesn’t mean that all balaclava wearers are criminal.

        I don’t agree with globalist agenda which forces everybody to wear masks because I know what’s behind it. But the average Joe Soap is at the mercy of the media hype and gets paranoid.

        In both the pro and anti mask camps there are obnoxious people who take opportunity to force their opinions on others.

        I think that we should face the coming hype with discretion as we deal with others.

        Satanic ritual!! What sort of stuff have you been watching??
        I’ve already pointed out that the purpose of a given mask is determined by the user and their reason for wearing it.

        But you have managed to twist mask wearing into an act of supporting Satanic ritual.

        You have also twisted a simple act if kindness towards store workers into an act of solidarity with those who assault asthmatic old ladies and tackle them to the floor.

        Your bias is causing you to have tunnelled vision. I clearly said that there are obnoxious people on both sides. I do not support obnoxious bullies regardless of whichever side they are on.
        You can tar me with your indiscriminate brush but I will not be bullied by your obnoxious remarks.

        I will have compassion on a store worker and will endeavour not to cause them fear or anxiety. I will care for their welfare as they seek to earn an honest living and provide for their families.

        I am calling on people to have discretion as we seem to be entering another phase of scaremongering and lockdowns. We should not spread hatred against other ordinary folk just because they choose to wear a mask.

        In many cases they don’t have much choice especially when their employers insist that they wear a mask.

        There are other ways to take a stand against the globalists. For example, I do all my purchases with cash. I believe that cashless transactions are serving to bring in the cashless system which they intend using to control our every move.

        So, do you condemn people who use cards when shopping or doing financial transactions?
        Do you accuse them of showing solidarity with and appeasing the globalists?

        You condemn me for occasionally wearing a mask while shopping. But I wont be bullied by your caustic remarks.

        Your divisive attitude alienates people and feeds directly into the globalist agenda of divide and conquer.

A demonstration of our willingness to participate in a ritual? To conceal the face and thus part of our humanity? Probably all of the above at different times.

  12. Let me see if I understand everyone’s approach correctly …

    If the Lord God of the King James Bible, has expressed His views on many particular subjects in His written Word (and He remains the same yesterday, today, and forever – Heb. 13:8), and as a starting point, we don’t scan the verses in the Bible to seek the counsel of God, but instead think that since one time long ago we “repented” of our sins, then now we only need to pray and ask Jesus to solve it?

    (As my old Law teacher used to ask:) If there is no Law of God still in effect today, then there is no sin (1 John 3:4). And if there is no sin, then why do we need a Saviour?

    Either we come to realise that many modern Christian ministers have lied to us about the eternal relevance of the Old Testament for us today (including the Laws of God), or we continue to break those Laws and suffer their curses as a penalty, both individually and collectively as a nation!

        Much truth in all of your words, Belgica, Carl, and L.A.!

        Jesus said, “If you love Me you will keep My commandments.” He also pointed out that He didn’t come to “do away with the law” but to fulfill it.

        The laws and commandments in the Old Testament demanding sacrifices to pay the penalty for sin have all been fulfilled in Him once and for all – “It is finished.” The work of redemption was completed.

        “For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.” (Romans 8:2)

        But even though we’re not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus (Galatians 2:16), the laws concerning our behavior – how we treat others still stand. Loving God and our neighbor includes all the others because if you lie, cheat, steal, or commit adultery, for instance, you’re hurting someone else as well as yourself.

        It’s because of His grace and the help of the Holy Spirit who dwells within us that we can keep those laws. Even when we slip up, He’s made a provision for that:

        “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)

        Looking at the growing lawlessness today at every level, from those with the most power to those with the least, people who don’t know the Lord are at the mercy of their sin nature. Their hearts are cold toward God and toward their neighbor, so they break all the commandments.

        “Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.” (1 John 3:4)

        We can only expect people’s behavior to get worse as more of them go along with the luciferian agenda of the New World Order.

        But once we’ve accepted the Lord’s salvation, we have such freedom in His grace, and are no longer slaves to sin. Thank you, Jesus!

When we repent of our sins (i.e. the breaking of God’s Law) Christ’s death and the shedding of His blood has PAID THE PENALTY of breaking His Law (but not the destroying of His eternal Law). This is called grace, the forgiveness of sin.

        As we continue to live our lives, we most likely will sin again. We repent again, and Christ applies His grace again, and again, and again, etc. Our calling includes the maintaining of a repentant atitude when we are convicted of sin.

        And the Holy Spirit is given freely to us to help us grow in becoming more like Christ in the keeping of God’s Law, and to convict us of sin as we grow in the learning and obeying of God’s Law, and helping us repent.

        The over arching objective is to prepare ourselves as Christ’s bride, so that when Jesus Christ returns to earth as King of kings and Lord of lords, then those who have prepared themselves and are ready to administer His Law, will rule and reign with Him in the coming Kingdom of God!

        Good observation, Carl! But America is in an even more precarious position than most people probably realize. God has Israel’s back, and always will, but America, although founded on Judeo-Christian principles can’t even be found in the Bible. Same goes for Britain, and probably most of Europe. As a matter of fact, there is rarely and possibly never any reference in the scriptures to other countries except as they relate to Israel, whether friends or foes.

        This makes perfect sense because God’s plan of redemption and the Messiah come from the Jewish people and Israel. He absolutely loves His chosen ones and this intense and unique emotional investment in them is often described in the Bible in terms of Israel being His wife or child.

        And just like a jealous, protective husband would react pretty strongly if someone tried to come between him and his wife and hurt her in any way, God gets pretty heated, too.

        “I will bless those who bless you,
        And I will curse him who curses you;” (Genesis 12:3)

        “For thus says the LORD of Hosts: He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye.” (Zechariah 2:8)

But unfortunately, just as U.S. presidents, their state departments, and intelligence agencies have meddled in the affairs of so many other nations, and currently poking the Russian bear through its proxy Ukraine war, the current administration is meddling with Israel in some really bad ways, only it’s poking the eye of God.

        One of the most startling revelatory paperback book I read many years ago was titled, “The United States and British Commonwealth in Prophesy”, by the late Herbert W. Armstrong, of the former Worldwide Church of God.

        Today there is a vast amount of evidence and books written about the legacy of the ancient twelve tribes of Israel thru history to our day today (such as books by Steven M. Collins). Our ancestors made a covenant with the Lord God of heaven and earth!:

        Exodus 19:5 “Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:”
        Exodus 19:6 “And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.”

        Exodus 19:8 “And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.” (KJV)

        That covenant “adheres” and “inures” to us, the “heirs” and “assigns” !

      6. Carl Chadwick – “Yet, both American and Britain are in the Bible!…The United States and British Commonwealth in Prophesy”, by the late Herbert W. Armstrong, of the former Worldwide Church of God…”

        Thanks for taking the time to respond back to me, Carl. I am familiar with some of the teachings of Herbert Armstrong and the Worldwide Church of God, so I understand where you’re coming from in believing that America and Britain are in the Bible.

        From what I’ve read about Armstrong and the Church of God, they believe that the people of America and Britain are the genetic, biological descendants of Joseph’s two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, based upon the blessings Jacob prayed over Joseph and his two grandchildren in Genesis 49:22-26 and Deuteronomy 33:13-17.

        For example:

        “His glory is like a firstborn bull,
        And his horns like the horns of the wild ox;
        Together with them
        He shall push the peoples
        To the ends of the earth;
        They are the ten thousands of Ephraim,
        And they are the thousands of Manasseh.” (Deuteronomy 33, v. 13 and 17)

        Although I disagree with Armstrong’s interpretation of those scriptures I still respect everyone’s right to believe what they believe and express those beliefs.

        Having said that, when applying Exodus 19:5-8 within the context of the whole chapter, I believe verse 4 for instance means God is telling Moses to say these words about His covenant to all the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (not just to the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh):

        “And Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel: ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself…”

        This Mosaic covenant builds upon (and therefore doesn’t supercede) the covenant God made with Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3, where He promised He would make a great nation out of him and that it would be from his descendants that “all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Some components of the Abrahamic covenant include giving them a land of their own (Genesis 28:4). Another is that their seed will be “as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore” (Genesis 22:17).

        Still another is the promise of the Redeemer, which is implied in Genesis 12:3, but more specifically stated in Numbers 24:17

        “I see Him, but not now;
        I behold Him, but not near;
        A Star shall come out of Jacob;
        A Scepter shall rise out of Israel,”

        My grasp of this is basically that the promise of the Messiah to God’s chosen people extends also to the Gentiles and that’s what Paul is talking about when he uses the analogy of the wild olive tree branches (Gentile believers) being grafted into the cultivated olive tree (Jews/Israel) in Romans 11:16-24.

        In these times, many people (especially political leaders) have become lawless and break His covenant as well as the laws of their own land with impunity.

        Regarding sin in the lives of believers, we have the recourse of repentance and grace:

        “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)

      7. Perhaps as one can understand and live by these three non-contradictory scriptures, then one can better understand Christ’s plan for man’s salvation:

        Matthew 4:4 “But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not LIVE by bread alone, but BY EVERY WORD that proceedeth out of the mouth OF GOD.”

        Romans 2:13 “(For NOT THE HEARERS of the law are just before God, BUT THE DOERS OF THE LAW SHALL BE JUSTIFIED.”

        Galatians 2:16 “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: FOR BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW SHALL NO FLESH BE JUSTIFIED.”

      8. Carl Chadwick – “…BUT THE DOERS OF THE LAW SHALL BE JUSTIFIED.”

        Mathew 4:4, Romans 2:13, Galatians 2:16. Great verses, Carl!

        And as Galatians 2:16 points out: “…a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ.”

        So even though we’re not justified by the law but by faith in Jesus (because we’re under grace and not under the law), we’re still commanded by the Lord to keep His word:

        “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” (John 14:15)

        But He is also saying that the prerequisite for being able to obey Him is “love.” It makes sense, then, that the two most important commandments He wants us to keep require that we love Him and our neighbor (Matthew 22:36-40).

        But can we love God and others and keep His commands solely on our own strength? No! We need the Holy Spirit, who is the Helper and Comforter (John 14:26). He’s not only the Author of all scripture (2 Timothy 3:16-17), but the One who comes to live within us when we sincerely repent of our sins and accept Jesus as our Savior:

        “Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” (Romans 5:5)

        And as Author, He has written the most eloquent, beautiful description of this kind of love in all of literature. 1 Corinthians 13. Because it’s worth quoting in its entirety, I’ll leave you with those words of His. God bless you, Carl, and have a great day!

        “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

        Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

        Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

        When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

        And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”

  13. Leo—I agree with your analysis. What we are seeing is a new, updated version of Nazism emerging in the US and the West generally. Complete with all the same philosophies, like eugenics, liebenstraum (whereby the US invades and pillages other countries for their resources as Germany once attempted against Russia), socialism for the benefit of the rich, and corporate-state merger. A very, very dangerous time for us. Not at all sure that most Christian conservatives understand this—most of them are kept at war with commies. All that has done was to distract us from the true danger.

    As for masking decrees, I had noticed in my region during the first pandemic lockdowns/masking mandates that the Amish never wore masks in the stores. They got away with it. Why? It’s not that the Feds or any government is favorable towards them (the government does harass them on occasion), but somehow no one kept them from doing their trading.

    We can take a lesson from the Amish. Regardless of their faulty theology, they have managed to maintain a very solid cohesion among themselves. Their religion enables them to belong to each other, which by the way, is what the Church is supposed to be for all Christians. So when some Christians talk about ditching their church to go it alone or in some ad hoc “house” church—well, that seldom works out in the long run. The Amish have a strong bond among themselves and have had for centuries through a lot of persecution, because of their loyalty to each other through thick and thin. They are self-sufficient and take care of them own. What do we do? At the first whiff of difficulty, we all scatter to the winds and refuse to partner ourselves with a church. Christ works through his Church. That’s what it’s there for—times like these.

    Now is the time to offer real resistance to the new pandemic edicts. A lot of people have learned their lesson from the first time around, and these folks (whether Christians or not) can be allies in a general resistance. But we collectively need to resist these Nazis. The Nazis in Germany could be forced to back down when there was a collective resistance (google the Rosenstrasse protest). If you intend to resist all by your lonesome, you will be purged in silence and utterly forgotten, just as what happened in the Soviet countries and Nazi Germany.

    1. Bravo! Excellent point about the Amish. We have power in civil disobedience but the problem is that most Christians refuse to exercise that power. I never wore a mask inside a single store in 2020-2021 and my family never starved. Very few stores kicked me out, but if they did I politely left, dusted my sandals, and never went back.

Ditching a church: some left because pastor pushed covid shots, others left because churches closed for months and people got used to doing online church at home, one man quit a large SBC, then rented a building with friends and started an indep non 501c3 fellowship (non denominational) . Time for folks concerned to get off gov. radar, away from corp. 501c3 denominations and their hierarchies/national assoc. and form discrete fellowhips that are non denominational, fundemental and KJV/ classic hymns. Otherwise family church. When the collapse happens people will be living low key and “hidden” from the rest.

      “So when some Christians talk about ditching their church to go it alone or in some ad hoc “house” church—well, that seldom works out in the long run. ”

      Hello Kayjae, here’s a comment I posted earlier.

      “It’s worth noting that the early Christian church was made up of groups of Christians who would gather in peoples houses. There were no church buildings and there was no grandeur. Christianity was a humble religion the way Christ intended it to be.

      When persecution begins then Christians would be better to form small cells with Christians who they know well, so that there is less opportunity for traitors.”

      My understanding is that the Christian church was never meant to a political institution. Christians were encouraged by Paul to deal with their problems internally and not in the courts.

      I don’t think that an isolated incident in Nazi history can be used to address the onslaught which is to come against Christians in the future.

      In Nazi Germany the nominal Christian churches, Catholic and Protestant were complicit in the Nazi purge against the Jewish community.

      In the future I believe the churches will once again align with the state but this time it will be to hunt down the true Christians who don’t subscribe to the state sponsored apostate churches.

      The larger churches have slipped into a state of progressive apostasy and have become a useful tool for the devil. This is why many true Christians have fled from these evil institutions.

      If Christians are to survive in the future they will do so by forming small cells which are less prone to infiltration.

      The Christian church has been purged through the ages but it has survived according to the will of God who sustains his church according to his purpose.

      1. Anthony—didn’t you brush the dust of your feet off against me awhile back?? Why are you talking to me now??

        Why do you miss the fact that in the Old Testament God often referred to His chosen people, Israel, as a bride and also as a whore? Same with the Church—it is the bride of Christ and there is also its contrary image—the whore of Babylon. The wheat and tares growing together. The Church has had to deal with anti-christs all through its history. The future will be no different. And God will make the ultimate separation and take the purified Church to Him.

        Of course YOU judge the RC church, Orthodoxy and probably most of Protestantism as complete whores—while you fail to see the true church operating DESPITE the cowards, the complicit, the unrepentant, even the criminals mixed in. Again, the wheat and the tares. (Yes, I know all about the Nazi collaborators among the Lutherans and Catholics. I also know about those who opposed the Nazis.)

        The true Church from the beginning was not a bunch of wholly unconnected Bible bangers (there was no canonical New Testament at the beginning). It was a sacramental organization that quickly extended across the Empire, establishing churches in many cities, that resolved its problems by councils. They met in “house churches” whenever a new church formed, but what law says that these had to stay limited to private homes?? The Church, through growth, became a visible presence, and so grew out of the private homes. But that’s sinful to you?? Not humble enough?? As the Church grew, it couldn’t stay secret, as if these churches were to be nothing more than “cells”—not with its earth-shaking message!—it became big enough to have changed the culture wherever it went, even during persecutions. As Israel was not a collection of unconnected “cells”, it was a whole nation founded on principles directed towards God, so is the Church.

        You don’t see the Church as a political institution—fine. It isn’t. All denominations know that, whether they act like it or not is really beside the point. But nevertheless, it has a voice in this world (remember about being the “salt and light”?) and over the centuries it has had to work out how to properly relate to this world while trying to stay above it. But whatever has been its faults and failures (and successes) in working this out, it has more importantly been a advocate for humanity throughout its history. Because of the voice of the Church, the custom of infanticide and abortion ended in the ancient world, the gladiatorial contests ended, slavery came to an end in Europe and the Americas, the Soviet empire in Eastern Europe collapsed in 1989, the church battles against abortion and euthanasia in our era. To take the stance that the Church really doesn’t exist and what we see is only an evil institution is wrong-headed. The attitude that we should be lone wolf Christians and stay fearfully holed up in our tiny secret “cells” I find nihilistic and it’s contrary to what Christ said do which was go forth to all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. We do this as a collective—one Bride of Christ (not a harem)–even during times of persecution.

        That’s as far as I’ll discuss this.

        Oops!
        Is this the same Kayjae who left the Catholic church because of the apostate teaching of pope Francis?

        I remember you asking me a question and me giving you a comprehensive answer. I didn’t brush the dust of my feet off against you. I cautioned you against apostasy.

        With regard to the Roman Catholic church and the Russian orthodox church I remember saying that they still uphold the deity of Christ and his crucifixion and resurrection. I said that this provided a framework by which a person can come to a true faith in Jesus Christ should the Father draw them.

        Those may not be the exact words I used but that is generally what I meant. So, I haven’t totally dismissed those churches because I believe that they serve a purpose.

        My hope is that when a person comes to a true faith in Christ they will reject the false teachings which exist in those churches.

        I am not against the growth of the church. My comment was in response to you, when you rubbished the ideas of Christians here who were looking for safe places to worship. You rubbished their considerations when you said:-

        “So when some Christians talk about ditching their church to go it alone or in some ad hoc “house” church—well, that seldom works out in the long run. ”

        Of course the church should have a visible presence which can be achieved through sharing the gospel and the TRUE teachings of Christ and his apostles with others.

        But you seem to confuse grandeur and big buildings as a way of making Christ visible. I see such grandeur as materialism which appeals to the flesh and which does not reflect the humility that Christ expects of his people.

        I might add that I abhor the demonic practises which are happening in many of the so called Pentecostal churches. True Christians should flee from those churches without delay.

      3. Anthony—well, it sure sounded quite brusque when you brushed your feet off against me.

        Oops! But no—I never said I left the RC church because of Francis. I left the RC decades before apostate Francis. After Vatican II, the RC church ceased to be authentically Catholic anymore. It secularized itself. It lost its identity. It attempted worldly solutions to spiritual problems. When I tried to return, what I remembered of it was no longer there, so I went to Orthodoxy years ago. The liturgies there are the SAME that the Roman church had practiced 1000 years ago before the Great Schism and they have the same apostolic succession, so I am still a part of the ONE church that was ONE from the beginning.

        Some western Christians who ditch their churches and go it alone these days usually do so because they don’t respect or understand the idea of Church or see any need for it. The “just me and my Bible” crowd. They leave NOT to shelter themselves from persecution (which is NOT occurring now in the West), just in the usual spirit of divisiveness and peevishness more than anything. I’ve seen the “house church” business—little cliques that start out with a lot of fundamentalist noise and then collapse pretty quick. Because there’s no accountability, no real authority, the message overall is only “us against them”, nihilistic attitudes, no consensus on doctrine, an anarchist idea of “church”. So yes—I say “rubbish” to that kind of foolishness. These will not hold up in a real persecution.

        Real underground churches of history were given authority to operate by their hierarchs and these went on to be the seed ground for Christian mission, revival and restoration during and after times of persecution. Those are the “house churches” that are worthwhile.

        As for grand cathedrals—I’m not confused by them. They are sermons and theology wrought in stone, if you know the symbolic language. Your mostly illiterate ancestors and mine did, why don’t you?? Just like icons are Bible quotations in paint, theologically very precise in all their details that served as points of meditation and teaching. Your ancestors knew this, why don’t you? Who’s being materialist here, your spiritually more alive ancestors who knew how to use the materials of God’s creation to the glory of God or modernist, reductionist you who strips Christian artistic culture to nothing more than expensive real estate filled with geegaws? So that we all can sit in a barren, Zen space and think ourselves especially humble and spiritual pure by doing so? Well, nobody prevents you from furnishing a bare room with your own thoughts. But are you in the same mold as a hermetic monk, like St. Anthony, who fought the demons in the desert? Well??

        The point I am making is that you left a church because of it’s apostasy and yet you act the hypocrite by rubbishing others who have left their church for the same reason.
        You describe their decision as divisiveness and peevishness whilst you in your delusion of grandeur believe that your decision is more noble than theirs.

        You describe their decision as foolishness whilst endorsing your own church which promotes praying to saints etc.

        No church is perfect but there reaches a point for some Christians where their church has embraced such things as ‘new age’ teaching and demonic manifestations causing them to resort to house fellowship where God’s truth is cherished.

        But you tar all house fellowships with the same brush in your haughty tones and arrogance.

      Great observations, Kkayjae! Woke Western progressivism is the new Nazism and like the 1930s-1940s movement, doesn’t allow dissent – it’s all or nothing.

      It seems as though this oppressive political movement has morphed into a fanatical religion and all of its tenets and doctrines are luciferian. Its adherents are the new Crusaders and like their Middle Ages namesake, they slash and burn everywhere they go.

      Depending upon which level of the religious hierarchy they occupy, they have varying degrees of power to enforce their satanic gospel upon others. Abortion, trans mutilation and pedophile grooming of children, viruses, vaccines, mandates, climate change, smart cities, “natural” disasters, digital currency and ID, global government, geoengineering, population reduction, escalation of war – I could fill an entire page listing every single facet of this demonic faith.

      Not all the conservatives who comment here or who read Leo’s stories and don’t comment are Christians. Some may have other faiths or no particular faith. Some may not call themselves conservatives, but rather libertarians or populists or whatever other groups in their country they identify with who believe in a human being’s inalienable right to determine their own life.

      So probably the one thing that all of us in these different groups have in common is the shared philosophy of live and let live. None of us want totalitarianism shoved down our throats and neither would any of us want to be a part of an entity, which does that to others.

      All of us in these subgroups, which comprise this larger group of freedom-lovers are going to find ourselves increasingly isolated from the culture within our respective countries and potentially persecuted as our common values become absolute anathema to those who embrace the slavery of a satanic world order.

      But thankfully, we have a forum here on Leo’s website, where we can connect with one another, exercise our freedom of speech, express our concerns, and affirm each other’s belief in the innate dignity of man and the right of every human being to live out their lives without being censured, manipulated, or enslaved by any man-made system.

  16. Another excellent article, Leo! I 100% agree with you that something wicked this way comes…and soon. As someone who has continued, daily, to pay very close attention to the voluminous stories out there, and reading through the spin to get to the truth as much as possible, I admit that I hit a low point yesterday. I was done…completely done with all of this. I was angry like I haven’t been in my lifetime. I feel like there’s an invisible noose around my neck that is slowly being pulled tight by people I don’t know, yet who want to control me in every way possible. If they can’t control me, then the alternative, apparently, is death. I also realize even if they could control me, they’d still prefer me to be dead. One less useless eater carbon unit to get in their way. Knowing all of this made me hit bottom.

    While not at all suicidal, I did begin to wish I could die just to escape this evil madness. I came very close to dying, (I coded 4 times), as a premie infant due to a birth defect I’d been born with all because my dad had been exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam. (Yeah, I’ve not trusted the gov’t for a long time thanks to knowing how they lied to the young men fighting in those jungles and rice fields.) The odds weren’t good for my survival. Yet, apparently, I amazed everyone with how hard I fought to live. Against all of the odds, I’ve made it 50 years so far, knowing all the while that the genetic mutation caused by Agent Orange could still hold another “prize” in store for me. At any rate, last night, in my anger and frustration, I vented to my husband and told him that I don’t know why God allowed me to live if I’m only to be killed off, one way or another, by this demonic world domination agenda. My husband gently said, “You survived because God put a strong will to live inside of you. He made you a fighter. You can’t simply give up.” Everything in me didn’t want to fight anymore. I’m tired. I’m done just with what all we’ve lived through over the past 3+ years. Yet, I realize this is just really all beginning.

    While my anger was of the righteous variety, I had to step back from it and remind myself that I am a daughter of the Most High God. Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world. I began to wonder if I, like Elisha’s servant, need only to be able to see with spiritual eyes the mighty angels of God all around us, ready to do battle to at least protect those of us who belong to Him, for we were bought with the highest of prices, the precious blood of the Lord Jesus. I pray that is indeed the case. That is why your writing about our need to armor up at this critical time struck a chord with me as I read your article this morning. It was no “accident” that you wrote this yesterday as I believe it’s been used to minister to many of us who are so battle and world-weary already. Last night I was ready to give up and go Home. I’m still ready to go Home, but God has me here for a purpose. Inside, I feel my spirit that felt so defeated last night, slowly getting up and picking up my spiritual armaments once more to face the enemy again. To the fight! The battle ultimately belongs to the Lord! Pray for divine protection…pray for divine provision…pray that the Lord will protect you by causing you to hide in plain sight. Pray that He’ll confuse the plans of the Luciferians. I realize, as a whole, we deserve His divine judgement, but He can protect His own through it all. Pray like never before!

        “1Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

        2Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

        It’s important that we understand what the name ‘Jesus’ actually means because it describes his status and his purpose.”

        So when we call on Jesus we are recognising him as YHWH who is our salvation.
        I always pray directly to Jesus Christ because no one can come unto the Father except through Jesus. He is our mediator and our high priest. Jesus is YHWH who became flesh in order to provide salvation for his people.

    There are ONLY a few labs in the US that have a Gene Sequencing machine to test for virus variants

    It is amazing how the Governments know which variant everyone has even though the PCR test was never designed to detect whether or not someone has Covid or what strain of Covid it is. Hospitals do not even have the test equipment to determine the Covid strain. The only way they can keep track of the strains is because the Governments are being told what the fake strain is.

  19. Leo,

    I recently went on a deep dive about climate change and found that the Club of Rome was part of the orchestrators of it as a means to wreck economies and reduce the population. That was in the early 70’s about when all of the “climate change” nonsense started popping up. As we’ve all seen, it has now gotten to crescendo levels.

    If you want to go down that path, I think it is an excellent time for it and your platform is a great place to share that information so that it can be distributed to many who want to have a great source to share with friends and family about the TRUTH of who, when, and why it was started.

The elite are behind on implementing their agenda as he wrote it would be implemented right after 2000.

This time we will see who does what and who complies. Stores can request masking and hand them out at the door. I can wear one incorrectly for 20 min. of shopping, they can cause skin irritation around the eye area and cheeks (itching).

  23. This is a great article with the right remedy.
    When it comes to the last question, I just want to clarify some more about it. If I am living in a China-like setting and have to make a choice between putting on a mask to go into a grocery store and getting the food for me and those depending on me and it’s the only way to do it, I don’t like it but it is something I have done and would do. If I didn’t then we would have starved a long time ago. If they are asking for the jab or something like it or worse, then bust it, we starve. I don’t think I am holding back the waves of tyranny by not doing the mask, I am only sabotaging myself. Life and the world will go on. I saw it with my own eyes. I am however, buying time for us to do other things while we still can. When the time comes that they want to round us up for not having the jab, then they will. Me wearing or not wearing a mask a few years earlier will have no bearing on that whatsoever in any way. The tyranny will still arrive and not one day later.
    When they want the jab in order to enter, I will not take it. That is my hill to die on whether any come with me or not and I pick my battles accordingly.

    I totally agree that this is a spiritual battle. Most missed the memo on that from day one and that is why we are in this mess, they look to the physical solutions instead of looking to God. They trusted in Trump to ride in on a white horse and cape and thought they could put their worries to bed. They still think that getting fired up in the political arena is going to change things. They were not in the right ballpark from the beginning or they would not have been thinking of the wrong solutions. They are as manipulated by every propped up ‘solution’ that is dazzling as a puppet on a string by the powers hiding behind the curtains that have infiltrated churches and every other department of influence. It is pretty depressing just watching them being yanked around by every enticement stirring their emotions and hopes up into a feverish frenzy! I don’t think I can stomach another round of that!

    I don’t want to discourage anyone from waging war spiritually or in any other way. I am just of the leaning that it’s too late. There was a time in Israel when God had made up His mind; Babylon was going to invade and take over. He sent prophets to warn of this and once He says it, He does not go back on His word, and He does not send them out with His word and then change His mind. There is a point of no return and they had crossed it. It was just a matter of time until the ax dropped. I know many will accuse me of being a pessimist and all that other false word of faith heresy accusation stuff like it’s my fault if it happens for thinking negative. Funny, they accused Jeremiah of exactly the same thing, only he was right and they were wrong. They all wanted ‘positive words’ much like today, ‘positive confessions’ are what they want, ‘positive declarations’ and all that other hooey. It doesn’t work that way. Well Jeremiah knew that it was too late and that time was up. I can’t say that I’m as certain as he was, but it’s about one percent lower than his level of certainty.

    The threshing floor and the fan are about to meet, or something like that.

    1. Hello Iblandina, I agree with your views about the masks. Wearing a mask while shopping is tolerable and is a courtesy to others who will be in the grip of fear and mass hysteria. If it makes the difference between having food or not, then, for me wearing the mask is tolerable. I don’t believe refusing to wear a mask in that scenario is helpful.

      But like you I will draw the line if it comes to forced vaccination. My body is God’s temple and I will not allow the vaxxecutioners to defile it.

      Your pessimism is based on logic. The pessimist is often the person who simply has the facts.

      The evidence as I see it, points to an inexorable drive by Satan who knows that he has little time left to usher in his ‘new age’ / ‘global reset’

      I remember prince Charles talking about having a brief window of opportunity to bring about the ‘global reset’

      What God has decreed will come to pass. We are cautioned to be prepared for what is to come. We are not told to delude ourselves and pretend that by so called ‘positive thinking’, we can reverse the predetermined will of God which will happen in it’s appointed time.

      1. Hello Leo, I have some understanding about the psychology behind the masking of the public. I also understand the strategy behind cashless transactions.

        There are so many tactics being employed by the globalists that it’s hard to avoid them all. But I empathize with the hard working staff in the stores who have to overcome fear and anxiety in order to do their job and earn an honest living.

        Think of the staff who stock the shelves in the supermarket whilst customers brush past them!
        I personally, am not going to cause them anxiety by refusing to wear a mask while shopping.

        I will happily explain to someone why the mask wearing is being enforced by the ‘globalists’ but I wont push my dislike of masks on the staff in the store.

        There is a militant attitude among some antivaxxers where they like to parade their ‘bare faced’ arrogance and scoff at the people who are genuinely scared of them. I don’t agree with this mentality.

        It’s the people using cards instead of cash who are expediting the transition to a cashless society which I believe is of greater concern than wearing a mask whilst shopping.

        We are all negotiating our way through the globalist minefields and we will be making some uncomfortable decisions as we do so, discretion is needed.
        But when it comes to the Covid vax., I say NO SURRENDER! I will not take it and I will speak out against those who promote it.

        I explained clearly that I am willing to wear a mask in a store due to the fear factor of the staff. I did so in 2020 and am willing to do so again if mask wearing comes back and people become afraid again.

        I think that there is a better way to oppose the masks than by filling people with fear. As I have already stated :-

        “I will happily explain to someone why the mask wearing is being enforced by the ‘globalists’ but I wont push my dislike of masks on the staff in the store.”

        It concerns me that there is a militant element in the antvaxx movement. They come across as being arrogant self serving egotists who think that they can force their will upon others. They have no concern for the people who have to serve them in the store. They delight in the discomfort of others as they parade their self righteous vanity with the smugness that comes with arrogance and a lack of empathy for others.
        Many of the store workers are working hard to provide for their families and are fearful for their health and the health of their loved ones.

        So, they are frightened by the insensitive anti vaxxer who marches into store whilst ignoring the staff’s concerns. These type of antivaxxers are all about themselves and their own self righteousness and I will have no part in their antics.

      4. I wonder if Jesus was ever accused of being “insensitive” when he walked the earth. Nor did he enable people’s fear. Rather than indulge our irrational and ungodly fears he said, “fear not.” For He did not give us a spirit of fear. In fact, fear comes from the Luciferian influence over the world. They cause it, use us to enable it, and they manipulate us as a result. So no, I don’t play in their game or by their rules. Does that mean I am rude or “flaunt” my freedom from fear? Not at all. I keep my distance from the Branch Covidian cult members and make sure not to invade their personal space. I smile at them as I pass them in the parking lot.

        Hello Leo
        I think that you are missing the point I am making. I’m saying that the best way to fight the globalist agenda is with information not with fear.

        If a person is comfortable with you they are more likely to listen to what you have to say. However if you insist on not wearing a mask despite the fears of those around you then you are only entrenching there state of fear.

        Look at how communication helps keep us strong on your forum. Sharing information and exposing misinformation on a site where people feel safe and are encouraged by others achieves so much and gives people strength to carry on.

        I would add that during his ministry Jesus showed much mercy and compassion. However the Pharisees did not. Instead they sought opportunity to parade their own self righteousness.

        The lesson I learn from Jesus is that you teach others by being compassionate .

        Jesus declared judgement on the evil leaders but he showed compassion to those who were suffering under the yoke of the Pharisees.

        So, I will openly challenge Fauci and his fellow globalists. But for the girl serving me in the shop I will show compassion and not make her anxious as she tries to do an honest days work.

        The reason we are not fearful is because we have knowledge. We best fight the fear imposed on others by sharing this knowledge where possible.

        Please stay in context. I am speaking about a visit to the store where wearing a mask quite tolerable for the few minutes it takes.

        Rub a very small amount of washing up liquid into your spectacles and they wont fog up whilst wearing a mask.

        You say:-
        “So now I mock their fear.”

        I think you need to distinguish the ‘globalists’ from the humble store worker.

        To mock somebody’s fear is a callous self gratifying act. Those who are in fear are victims who haven’t had access to the information which is shared on sites like this one. They are human beings just like you and me and do not need the likes of you scoffing at them.

        I’m not wearing them for protection from viruses so a very light cotton fabric does the job.

        “The surgical N95 mask has been held up as the gold standard when it comes to protecting against Covid.

        But a study quietly re-shared by the National Institutes of Health in spring suggests the tight-fitting mask may expose users to dangerous levels of toxic chemicals.

        Researchers from Jeonbuk National University in South Korea looked at two types of disposable medical-grade masks, as well as several reusable cotton masks.

        The study found that the chemicals released by these masks had eight times the recommended safety limit of toxic volatile organic compounds (TVOCs).

        Inhaling TVOCs has been linked to health issues like headaches and nausea, while prolonged and repeated has been linked to organ damage and even cancer.

        Disposable masks had up to 14 times more TVOCs than cloth masks”

        So, out of the masks that were studied the cloth masks were considered to be much safer than the disposable ones.

        I will leave you folks to draw your own conclusions.

        I am not concerned about Covid 19 which I don’t believe exists. But in a situation where a person might be forced by their employer to wear a mask then it is better for them to wear a cotton mask rather than synthetic disposable one.

        “I am not the one up in people’s business trying to tell them what to do ”

        But you ARE telling people what to do. You are telling people that they should not wear masks at any cost even if it means losing their job.

        From the assistant on the shop floor to the pilot in the sky, workers are being mandated to wear masks. Many of these people have young families to feed and provide for. It might seem an easy option from where you are sitting but for the person who is actually in the situation it’s not so simple. If you had compassion then you might understand this and you might have empathy for those who are frightened by all the hype.

        “If we apply this logic then why reject the jab over a job? ”

        Because we have discretion and we can easily weigh up the odds and know that the vaccine is a far more dangerous/lethal option than wearing a mask.

        ” The mask was the test run for the vax. ”

        I believe that the mask had many functions.
        It gives visibility to a non existent virus. It is theatre designed to create a besieged state of mind in the general public. It imposes conformity and uniformity on the masses.
        It ushered in a disposition of compliance leaving people more disposed to receiving the jab.
        And among the many other restrictions it provided the crises for which the vaccine was the promised solution. The stick and carrot approach.

        So, I am against mask wearing. But I believe that we have to have discretion and flexibility.
        We have to understand what other people are going through whether it be fear of losing their job or anxiety about being around unmasked individuals in their place of work as is the case for store workers.

        We wont encourage people to discard their masks by making them anxious. making them anxious is only helping the ‘globalists’ to create a climate of fear and mistrust and division.
        People are more likely to consider your opinions on the matter if they don’t feel threatened by you.

        The expressions of hatred by some against ordinary people for wearing a mask is not acceptable and should be discouraged.

        If we cant make a simple distinction between mask wearing or receiving the jab then we have abandoned reason and common sense. But group think can cause people to lose perspective as Trump rallies have shown.

        So, Leo I urge people to stay grounded and as Christians to not judge or intimidate the store worker who is just trying to get by in this crazy world.

        Rachel, you need to get real. As I’ve pointed out already this ‘globalist agenda’ is not going to be halted by a few naysayers such as you and I or the truckers or the capitol hill protesters.

        And what about making cashless payments?
        And what about using smart phones?
        And what about using satellite navigation when driving?
        And what about driving a car fitted with a computer chip?

        I could go on.

        The fact is that those on here criticizing me for a moment of compassion in a grocery store are most likely supporting the globalist agenda in some other way. But that’s the way the world is going. You wont hear me railing against people for the above compromises because people are trying to get by in a technological age which is being advanced by the ‘globalists’.

        I would say to those who criticise my discretionary decisions to first take the log out of their own eye, because it seems to me that they have lost focus and are staining at a gnat whilst swallowing a camel.

        “Now I find fewer fearful people, but a lot more aggressive deniers of reality.”

        This is different scenario and I would deal with these people differently than the way I would deal with shop assistants who are just doing their job. As I have said before discretion is needed and compassion where appropriate.

        So, I’ll leave you with those thoughts and hopefully you will understand my empathy for the store assistants who serve me with courtesy and kindness and who ACCEPT my CASH payments.

      14. Anthony, it’s wonderful to feel righteous passion and anger toward entities or individuals concerning some injustice or wrong and to use forceful language when the trigger for those feelings merits that. Thank God! That indicates you are fully awake and cognizant and truly care – something that puts you in the minority when the majority are either asleep, ignorant, or indifferent.

        Aggressively directing your outrage at entities or individuals who are responsible for the wretched conditions that are being foisted on us and the rest of humanity is always welcome, and I personally can’t find words strong enough to describe those monsters or their actions.

        But to name-call, label, deride, or even insinuate something that is really negative about the person you are debating with, especially on a Christian website like this one, shows a lack of maturity and consideration for another human being. It’s immaterial whether or not they share your core beliefs on this or that subject. We’re all individuals and independent. You can’t berate someone into believing exactly the way you think on everything.

        If you’re angry or impatient with another person because what they say doesn’t jive with what you believe or feel or want them to say, there is a way to tactfully disagree without attacking or imputing derogatory things about their character, thought processes, or motives.

        Maybe when you feel an overwhelming urge to clobber someone on this website, you can take a short respite and visit another one where they are more “assertive’ at expressing differences of opinion. Then, when you’ve gotten it out of your system, come back here and engage with others when you can adequately express yourself in a more cool-headed manner.

      15. Anthony – “You are biased, probably because I pointed out the errors in your pretribulation rapture notions.”

        Oh good! Since you brought up that discussion (Viktor Orbán speaks inconvenient truth: ‘Russia cannot be defeated because it is a nuclear power’), let’s take a closer look at a few of the things you said to me:

        Anthony – “You seem to be just parroting from dispensational commentaries where misinterpretations of the bible are rife. . I don’t see a thought process on your part and you don’t seem to be reading the bible properly…You may not have consciously read the original works of Darby and Scofield but you are influenced by those works…”

        “Parroting,” “I don’t see a thought process on your part,” “not have consciously read,” and “are influenced” all imply that I’m not a critical or independent thinker (whereas you ARE, of course, so I must have a vacuum instead of a brain).

        Anthony – “I’m happy to end this conversation, if you are, provided you don’t come back with more controversial assumptions requiring clarification.”

        Some “controversial” synonyms: problematical, disputatious, thorny. You get the gist. Of course it’s you and only you who can provide the “clarification.”

        Anthony – “You are talking nonsense.”

        So Anna is a prating fool.

        “Anna, why are you deliberately altering what Revelation is saying.”

        Wait – now I’m a heretic! Hear ye! Bring out the torches and faggots!

        “Sentimental nonsense is not helpful when studying the bible.”

        I’m just emotional and gushy. Typical woman!

        Anthony – “It seems that you are happy to fool yourself by reinventing what the bible is saying in order to support your confused notions.”

        “Fool yourself,” “reinventing,” and “confused notions” all imply that I am self-delusional and what I say can’t be trusted or taken seriously.

        I could add more, but I think these are enough to illustrate my point.

        Attacking someone with derogatory language like the above does not necessarily lend credence to your own argument. On the contrary, it may make you look more like a petulant old schoolmarm giving a thrashing than a savvy, sophisticated, and most importantly, respectful, opponent in a debate.

      21. This is going to be brief and then I think you and I should both drop this discussion. I made the comment to Rachel that we need to “stick together.” All of us here are going to find ourselves increasingly isolated, marginalized, and probably ultimately persecuted for our beliefs.

        I’ve come to the conclusion that for those of us who call ourselves Christians, our core beliefs – Jesus is the only way to the Father (you must be born again), the infallibility of the Bible, the Triune God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), are the most important and should be uniting points. Anything else is secondary – timing of the rapture, earthly vs heavenly location for the millennium and so on.

        There is already too much divisiveness in the church, usually based upon differences in doctrines, and apostasy whether from erroneous beliefs or outside influences of our culture. Those of us who believe in the basics tenets that I mentioned are in a shrinking minority.

        Now is not the time for infighting. It’s one thing to present your side of the story. But quite another to disparage someone else when they present theirs just because it isn’t your version. Whatever you think about someone – they’re misinformed, inaccurate, stupid, whatever – you’re entitled to think. But articulating that in a way that is really demeaning is just plain divisive. The last thing we need right now.

        The fake pretribulation rapture moves the goal posts by altering the sequence of events relating to the revealing of the man of sin and the great tribulation which is followed by Christ’s glorious return and the true rapture.

        The fake pretribulation rapture provides a cloak for the man of sin who will be revealed before the rapture. Those who are not grounded in the truth will most likely be deceived by him as he claims to be God.

        The church should be testifying to the true coming of Jesus Christ but sadly there are many who have slipped into apostasy and are preaching a fake story.

        Satan’s misdirection has worked for him thanks to those who prefer the teachings of Darby and Scofield over the clear teachings of Christ and his apostles.

        We are defined by our testimony and adherence to the teaching of Christ and his apostles.
        Those who bear a false testimony and believe a lie are in danger of succumbing to the delusion which will accompany the man of sin and will probably rank among those of whom Paul says:-

        “8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

        9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

        10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

        11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

        12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

        If you are happy to be fooled that’s a matter for you.

        I rest my case.

      23. You didn’t get what I was trying to say, Anthony. Our core beliefs are what matter – what “define” us a Christians, and the ones we should rally around.

        The basic and most important tenets of our faith are that you must be born again to have eternal life, Jesus is the only way to the Father, the Bible is infallible, and there are three persons in one God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

        The following components of the Gospel are included in the tenets about the new birth and Jesus as our Savior:

        1. Man is sinful.
        “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23

        2. Sin has a penalty.
        “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:23

        3. Christ paid the penalty.
        “But God demonstrates His love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8

        4. Christ is our salvation.
        “I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.” John 10:9

        5. We must receive Him.
        “But to all who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.” John 1:12

        6. Salvation is a free gift.
        “For by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works lest anyone should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9

        If we have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we become born again, the Holy Spirit comes to live within us, and our names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. The Lord said no one can snatch us out of His hands.

        Moreover, no born again believer will be deceived into thinking that the antichrist is Messiah. The true Messiah has already come once, and will be coming again in the clouds of Heaven with His armies with Him, all clothed in white, on white horses. The Bible has a very explicit description in the Book of Revelation of Jesus coming back the second time. The true Messiah is from the tribe of Judah, branch of Jesse, son of David – He’s Jewish. And nowhere does it ever say that the true Messiah will demand that people take a mark on the hand or forehead.

        The false messiah is Gentile. Also, European, and will be declaring himself God in the third temple in Jerusalem. Moreover, he will force people to take his mark or else get beheaded. There are more prophecies especially in the Old Testament that describe him and his characteristics. Anyone who knows their Bible should not get deceived because there are detailed descriptions of both the true and false Messiah. The people who get deceived are those who aren’t born again, who don’t have the Holy Spirit in them, and who don’t know the scriptures.

        2. Sin has a penalty: “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)

        3. Jesus paid the penalty: “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)

        4. And He is our salvation: “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.” (John 10:9)

        5. We need to receive Him: “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)

        6. We have assurance of our salvation: “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name” (John 1:12)

        There are many people who presume themselves to be saved. But salvation is evidenced by adhering to God’s truth. Those who spread false doctrines are not adhering to God’s truth, in fact they are at war with God.

        You seem to believe that you could not possibly be fooled by the man of sin who you call the antichrist, but you have already been fooled by a false doctrine which clearly contradicts the teaching of Christ.

        If you can be fooled once then you can be fooled again. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth but you believe a lie. But what you believe is up to you. And who you believe is up to you, whether it be Christ or Scofield.

So, I am investigating how to shut off the comments on a given article after everyone has had an opportunity to make one (two at the most) comment. Ideally everyone will have 48 hours after an article is posted to make their comments and then the comments will be closed. Hopefully this will cut down on the personal one-on-one verbal matches that go on for days until one fighter finally raises the white flag and limps out of the ring, bruised and battered.

        But you have trawled the comments section in order to build a case against me . You posted a wall of comments attacking my character with vindictiveness which you falsely portray as concern for others.
