The Perfect Lamb of God—The Perfect Passover Sacrifice |Passion Week 2020—Passover

(**Mark 14:53-65**; **Luke 22:66-71**; **John 18:19-24**)

WEDNESDAY PASSOVER the 14th-day Sunset:

We have to remember that the Bible was written by Jewish writers who were inspired by the Holy Spirit. Yes, the New Testament is written for the most part in Greek, but the writers were still Jewish. Their culture was Jewish, and their faith was from that of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
There are so many people trying to guess the exact day of the Passover and Crucifixion. But there are too many variables to look at here.

—First, the Gregorian calendar is not the calendar used by the Jewish leaders, ever.

—Second, the Jews had a peculiar way of timing the full moons that may or may not have worked to an exact way the LORD had mandated.

—Thirdly, I thank God that He did not allow the birth of Jesus to be written down on the exact day. So we must then turn to scriptures and figure it out.

Remember that a Jewish day starts at Sunset not sunrise. So Tuesday at 5:59:59 pm would end the day & at 6:01 pm, Wednesday would start.

His Story told by Jewish Writers:

When Moses and the rest of the Israelites wrote, they wrote from their 1,900 plus years of traditional Israelite History. And His Story is written by the Hebrews.
Because of the Gregorian calendar, the traditional church timeline is miscalculated. In some years, Easter falls before Passover, and this can never be since the timetable in the New Testament Greek scriptures are based on the Last Supper being during the Passover and then Jesus being crucified. Not the other way around.

The timetable is crucial since we have to make sure the purity of the timeline in scriptures is held accountable.

The Miscalculation of The LORD’s Feasts :

By adding Gregorian calendar mistakes are made, which don’t fit the Exodus 12 and Leviticus 23 timeline for the Passover. So, I will venture on the side of caution and go with the Hebrew Scriptures to get the exact timeframe of the 10th Day and the 14th day, Passover.

On this day, about 2,000 years ago, Jesus would come together with His disciples for the Passover Feast. He would tell them that He was to give His Body and Blood for all of humanity ( Matthew 26:26-30; Mark 14:22-26; Luke 22:14-23; 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 ), and later be turned in to the Jewish Authorities.
The Jewish Leadership would unknowingly be inspecting Jesus (Matthew 27:1-2), becoming the Paschal Lamb of God whom they would take into their Priestly Chambers to have a mock Trial. They would not find any sins, blemishes, and facts would not substantiate their accusations.
Little did they know that they were inspecting the Sacrificial Lamb of God, not finding a single blemish.
Jesus would then be falsely found guilty, which would then, to the disdain ( as you will see tomorrow ) of the Sanhedrin or Jewish Council of Leaders, be put to death. The Jewish mobs would be singing the High Hallel Psalms sung only during the Passover and in Jerusalem all over the city. More on this tomorrow.

The Perfect Lamb Inspected for sacrifice:

But for now, the highest court of Israel had made Jesus, their enemy. They wanted Him dead. They found any excuse to put Jesus to death, playing into the hands of God when He says in Genesis, in the story of Joseph, the son of Jacob, who would suffer in the hands of his brothers, like Jesus with Judas betraying Him. Also, like Joseph, Jesus would be sold for money and would suffer in the hands of foreign jailers. God would turn the evil they caused for good (Genesis 50:20 ).
All this to say, what some of the High Council of the Sanhedrin meant for evil, Jesus was fulfilling the Exodus Passover requirements for the Male Paschal Lamb without blemishes to be Killed, have His blood posted on the doorposts like this:

What kind of love is this?!

Jesus had to fulfill this specific prophecy. For all who place their faith and trust in the Blood of the Lamb, to be spared the gruesome second death eternally. More on this tomorrow.
For now, for all those reading this, remember what Jesus instituted this day, about 2,000 years ago.
Jesus told us to remember His body and blood sacrifice. He said for us to remember as much as we could, and to let others know what He did for us on the cross.

***Also (Mark 14:22-26; Luke 22:14-23; 1 Corinthians 11:17-34)***

This sacrifice may not be a big deal to some. But for me, knowing that the Creator of Life, the God of the universe, and our souls, came down from Heaven, became a baby, dependent on His creatures. Grew up knowing heartache, pain, and temptation and being the oldest Son of His household. Knowing who He was and yet humbly taking care of His mom and siblings after His stepdad passed on.
As Jesus grew up, knowing the very day, hour, and seconds of His future horrific pain under the hands of the Jewish leaders. What the Romans would put him through. The betrayal of one of the Twelve. His fellow Israelites, who chose a man named Barabbas instead of Him to be spared the horrendous and gruesome death on the cross.
To me, I can’t fathom the kind of love, devotion, and faith God has placed on us, His children. I can only imagine, and think of the price my Savior paid for His creation. To love us so much, that He would obediently come down from Heaven and pay such a terrible price for us, His spoiled, rebellious, and obstinate children.

I, for one, tonight, will be breaking bread with my wife, & invite all of you to break bread & drink from the cup of the New Covenant, started about 2,000 years ago by Our LORD & Savior Jesus, the Messiah or Savior of the world.

***Kairos Bible (Company not paying me, I just like their App!)***

Jesus & the 6,000 year old prophecies:

Also remember, that He came to fulfill what was written almost 3,500 years ago by Moses in Exodus 12.
But even older than this, what God foreshadowed with Isaac, Abraham’s son about 4,000 years ago in the same temple mount of Mount Moriah. When God prevented Abraham from sacrificing his son Isaac and then inspiring Abraham to say that He would offer Himself a sacrifice ( Genesis 22:1-10; Romans 5:6-11 ).
And even longer than this, God told Adam and Eve about 6,000 years ago—That a ‘seed’ of Eve would have His heel bruised by satan. Curious to have God call Eve’s offspring a ‘seed’ since women biologically don’t have seeds but eggs. Showing that even 6,000 years ago, God was in full control of His Word. And that His Word is final. Jesus was that holy seed given to Mary, a teenager from the tribe of Adam (Eve), Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Judah ( Genesis 3:14-15 )!

So today, make your decision. Decide to follow Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. The One they crucified for you, me, & the rest of humanity.

Take a moment to sit in silence and acknowledge Jesus, the Savior, and what He did for you on this day, almost 2,000 years ago.

Have a Blessed Passover Feast and New Covenant Communion!

The Servant King Cleanses Clean — His Earthly Kingdom |Passion Week 2020

PASSION WEEK :

Palm Sunday:

We saw in my last post that Jesus came into the city of Jerusalem Triumphantly riding on a donkey. You could read about it here and last year’s post here.

Now we get to Monday and Tuesday of Passion Week:

Monday:

The Day of Atonement & what was missed for 1,500 years:

In Leviticus 16, we see specific instructions for Aaron and his future line of priests.

But before all this, we see that Aaron’s sons had been killed ( Leviticus 10:1 ) for offering strange fire. That strange unauthorized fire-offering is for another post. Now, in Leviticus 16, we see that God gives Aaron instructions on how to approach the Holy of Holies. All these instructions are for a reason. They all point to the future Messiah-King Jesus who will fulfill the Suffering Servant ( Isaiah 53 ), High Priest ( Hebrews 8:6 ), and Redeemer ( Titus 2:14 ) in His Person for all eternity.

Aaron and his line of High Priests had to go and cleanse themselves before going into The Holy of Holies, because of their impurity, they would die if they did not meet the cleansing rituals.

The Intercession:

Only the High Priest could go into the Holy Of Holies, and if anyone else decided to go in, they would die. This Holy of Holies meeting was only to be once a year ( Leviticus 16:16 ), on the day of Atonement.

The High Priest entered the holiest place to petition and intercede for the sins of all the people of Israel, to take the sins away for that year.

This yearly Day of Atonement Feast was one of the Holy Convocations or Rehearsals of the LORD. In other words, they were called The LORD’s Feasts or Feasts of the LORD. They were not Feasts of Israel, and this should give us an inclination that if God commanded the Feasts rehearsed yearly, there must be an exceptional reason for it.

***Temple Mount During time of Jesus by Berthold Werner***

The Servant king Cleanses His House:

Now fast forward roughly 1,500 years. We see in Matthew 21:12-19, Jesus had to cleanse the man-made Temple. Why? Because He is The True Temple ( John 2:19 ), He sits in the real Holy of Holies in Heaven but needed to make sure the Temple in Israel was ready ( Hebrews 9:10-12 ).

Jesus had to get rid of every impurity before His final sacrifice on the cross. His House, the Temple, had to be cleansed to get it ready for the last sacrifice needed forever and ever. Jesus knew that the Temple in Jerusalem was not qualified to receive the final blood sacrifice that the Jews had been practicing these past 1,500 years.

So Jesus took it upon Himself to get rid of the greed, filth, and sin which had been festering in within the Temple walls of Jerusalem.

**Driving of the merchants from the temple**

The Sacrifical Gift:

Jesus, therefore, by driving out and overturning the money changers’ tables, was purifying His house to receive His gift to mankind. Jesus would be the final Passover Lamb. He would once and for all( Romans 6:10 ), provide all people, not just the Jews, a Way (John 14:6 ) to come back home.

This is why the Jewish leadership so aggravated Jesus. The priests had taken the cleansing ritual so far away from what it was supposed to be. The Temple area was for all people, but the authorized Temple vendors were selling in the court of the Gentiles!

By selling animals in the Court of the Gentiles, the Jewish leaders and their people would stay clean from unclean animals being sold for sacrifices. The gentiles who were coming in to worship the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, were being submitted to uncleanliness due to being around those animals.

This is why Jesus was so righteously angry. And this is why He said that they (Temple Priests) had made His House into a den of thieves ( Isaiah 56:7, Matthew 21:13 ) and closed to all except those who were burdened by the 613 mini commandments ( Mitzvot, Matthew 23 ) that were added little by little throughout the Jewish history.

The Servant Teacher making it simple:

Jesus came to say, “You can’t obey all these commands. They are too much. You couldn’t even follow the Ten I gave you at Mount Sinai, and now you have converts spinning their wheels because they are trying to keep up with your man-made traditions!”

All this to say, Jesus came to take away all those 613 mini commands. He even made the Ten He gave to Israel easier for everyone to understand:

— Love God with all you have, love your neighbor as yourself ( Matthew 22:37 ), that’s it!

Remind Ourselves every day:

So today, as we are all inside our homes, keep in mind Jesus had to cleanse His earthly home for our sake.

Remind yourself every day how much Jesus loves all of us, and the price He paid for cleansing that man-made Temple.

By cleansing the Temple, Jesus would now be marked for death by His enemies. The priests in the Temple would now vow to kill Jesus at all costs.

Tuesday—The Day of reckoning:

On this Monday and Tuesday, almost 2,000 years ago, Jesus would have sealed His fate, by cleansing His house and by calling the scribes and Pharisees wicked servants of God ( Matthew 21:33-46; Mark 12:1-12; Luke 20:9-18 ). He would officially be the enemy of the Jewish State, or I should say, the enemy of the Jewish Leadership, who would now plot Jesus’ death…no matter the price.

Humble & Contrite hearts:

Jesus came to make it simple and back to the original basics:

We were to Love God with everything we had or with our whole being. And…

We were to love our neighbor as much as we love ourselves.

How? By coming to God humbly and with a sorrowful heart of worship and connection with the Almighty.

More on this later...

Come to know God with a humble heart, ask Him to cleanse your inner house. If it’s not cleansed, ask Jesus to clean you whole. Here’s how:

Hosanna—We Choose You to Save Us! |Passion Week 2020

Jesus=**Yehoshua**
***Pictur***e from FREEPIK

The Lamb without defects

This year’s Passion Week holds a special meaning. The whole world is gripped in fear of the unknown. This #covid19virus has the world in something almost everyone have not experienced. It is as if the world has stopped on all cylinders. So This #PassionWeek2020 will have special meaning for all of us.

The Feats or Rehearsals or moedim

For thousands of years, Hebrew families would gather around on this day, what we Christians know as #PalmSunday. They were to do one thing— choose a male lamb that was a year old and without any marks or blemishes. In other words, they would select the purest looking lamb in their flocks or buy one from local sheepherders.

Those families too poor to buy one, would ask around to see if any other family would pitch in to buy the lamb & share it.

Practice makes perfect

In these ancient Hebrew towns, neighbors would most likely be family members, and not finding a family to pitch in to buy a lamb would not be a problem. I can relate to this because, in my culture, a good portion of Americans of Mexican descent, live close to family; or close enough to go halves or thirds on anything!!

Now, after choosing a perfect little lamb, families would take their new pet in & take care of it from the 10th day to the 14th day, where then, it would be taken to the priests to be examined & then sacrificed!

I imagine how the kids felt once the 4th day drew close. Kids, as you know, get close to pets extremely fast. They now, have most likely named their pet lamb and have fed it and taken good care of it. So when I say that the kids would miss their lamb, would be an understatement.

Now imagine having to do this every year. Hebrew families throughout the land of Israel & beyond, practicing this pre-Passover tradition for about 1,500 years until the time of Jesus.

This Special Feast of the LORD was mandated for all of God’s people to practice once a year. Why do I say practice, because The LORD told His people they were to practice these feasts or appointed times yearly (Here are the LORD’s Feasts found in Exodus 12:14-28, Leviticus 23:4-8; Numbers 28:16-25; Deuteronomy 16:1-8).

The mandated Blood Sacrifice

The first of these Feasts, is the Passover sacrifice. God told the Hebrews to take the little lamb and kill it. They were to take the lamb’s blood and sprinkle it on the top and sides of their doorposts. The blood would serve to protect them when the Angel of Death passed over their households. All Hebrew homes that had the lamb’s sprinkled blood would be saved from death.

This picking of an unblemished lamb was to be practiced yearly, taking about 1,500 years to rehearse; Hebrew families had perfected it!

Jesus we choose you! Save us now!

So fast forward to Jesus, whom they called—The Lamb of God who came to take the sins of the world (John 1:29). As He and His disciples are entering into Jerusalem through the Beautiful Gate riding on a young donkey. Now here’s the most important:

If you don’t remember most of this post, please remember this part— God made His people Israel practice the choosing of an unblemished Male Lamb for 1,500 years before sending His Son Jesus through the entrance gate of His city, Jerusalem. Let that sink in please!

As Jesus rode in on a donkey, the Jews were crying out for Him to save them. In other words, when Jesus entered through the city gate, He, the Lamb, was being chosen to sacrifice Himself for them. The more they cried out Hosanna, or Saves us (Matthew 21:15) the more they were calling for Jesus to be their Redeemer!

The Appointed Times of The LORD

On the same day and hour; where for 1,500 years, on the exact day, and time that families had been practicing the choosing of a perfect male lamb, the crowd was calling on Jesus the Son of God to save them! Choosing Jesus, to be there Sacrificial Lamb would begin a special time clock of the Moedim, or Feasts of Israel!

These were the same Feasts that the LORD mandated His people to rehearse every year during Spring and Fall. The clock had started…

the countdown Begins

So the first Palm Sunday marked the beginning of the timeline the LORD gave to Israel. It started about 2,000 years ago on that extraordinary day and continues to this present day.

About a million-plus people, had made the pilgrimage from all of the world, for the Spring Feasts. They, without realizing it, were choosing their Lamb for God to cleanse them from the horrible virus called Death.

Jesus would stay in the area with His disciples until on the 14th Day, He would be taken to the High Priest and found guilty, but the Sanhedrin could not find any hard evidence to find Jesus guilty. Yet, this LAMB of GOD, would, by His blood, cleanse us once and for all from the virus of Death.

May this Palm Sunday find you asking Jesus to save you. Then and only then will you be truly saved from the virus of Death and all other viruses, because Jesus conquered Death, and Death has no hold on Him…nor any who call Jesus to save them now!…

Next, Passion Week continues…

May this Passion Week, bring peace & comfort to you and your loved ones. If you don’t have this peace and are not comforted by the way the world is going, I invite you to know God’s peace:

Is The Church Essential? |The CHurCh Unbound 2020

A Poem On The Church Today

I’ve placed important links throughout the poem. Also at the very bottom for more information.
May you be blessed!

The Church is needed more than ever

We can’t allow Christianity and society to sever

LORD, what is essential to society?

Is it bickering amongst ourselves with impropriety?

Where finding someone to blame is a priority

Where governors order criminals to go free

It doesn’t matter if they killed in First Degree

While little ones are tortured by law’s decree

LORD, what is essential to society?

The Planned Abortion killing fields

The babies cry out with none to shield

Silent little cries that are not appealed

Where praying in public as defense

For those little lives that will go unmissed

LORD, what is essential to society?

Leaders demanding churches close

But abortion clinics are essential, they suppose

Where the rule of law is like the USSR

Where the rights of people, leaders bar

LORD, what is essential to society?

Where government becomes dystopian

And the Nanny State is our Custodian

And the rights of people stomped upon

Where they break us down with their batons

Where right is wrong and wrong is right

And evil reigns without a fight

LORD, what is essential to society?

LORD, your Church needs to wake from slumber

Before it’s too late and rights they’ve plundered

Help me to be the change in my community

Wake us up LORD to change society

Wake Your Church up LORD I plead

Let all know it’s time for us to heed.

Had we made Your mission-essential

Instead of banning Your credentials

And the Church would be influential

Had we shown Your Son’s love potential

LORD, what is essential to society?

We see everwhere, prayer that’s forbidden

And Your Message they have ridden

Your children grow up uninformed

And Your existence do they scorn

With there ignorance, your pages torn

Your babies learn this when they are born

LORD, what is essential to society?

We’ve made our leadership our gods

We beckon at their every nod

Save us, save us, oh governing gods!

We will worship at your altar

Save us from this virus’ falter!

LORD, what is essential to society?

We ask and ask that things be free

Instead of us giving, in harmony

We want to be taken care of

But we never ask from help above

May I be the first to show Your love

Is Your Church essential LORD today?

Are we worried about the buildings we’ve acquired

Instead of learning from Your Church’s humble beginnings?

When the world was turned upside down

By Your Church with great renown

Your Spirit led, and thus provided

The great Caeser could not divide it!

May we now explode throughout the world

With such great power, love, and grace hurled

That all shriek in pain in the underworld!

Let outside Replenish —WHile You Replenish on the inside for greatness! |Covid-19

March 30,2020

The Command

When the Israelites took over the Land flowing with Milk and Honey, the LORD was precise in His orders:

—They were to work 6 days and rest on the 7th.

—They were to let the land rest every 7th year.

—No farming the Land, whatever they had farmed for the 6 years, they would have to save some on the 6th year for the Land to rest on the 7th year.

—This way, the precious renewal of the soil, with all its minerals depleted from farming the Land the 6 years, would allow the ground to rejuvenate.

The Punishment

The Israelites did not heed this command from God. God then had to force them into a 70 year Sabbatical from their own Land. He would bring the Babylonians to sweep most of the Israelites away to one of the most powerful kingdoms to have ever been.

God’s Grace even in punishment

In other words, even when God was punishing His people for being disobedient, He would send them into the greatest and most plush of kingdoms at that time.

—It would be like today’s parents sending their kids to their rooms, and having all the luxuries needed to sit and take the punishment.

The land replenished

Yes, people died. Yes, they had to be punished and sent roughly 500 miles away to live in an unknown land, with an unfamiliar language and an unknown ruler. But even there, God took care of them and sent them back home at the precise time when their punishment was to be lifted.

They had for 490 years, not listened to The Almighty’s command of resting the soil. This command was not legalistic or harsh.

We now know that we are to take care of the Land, give it rest so that the Land will take care of us. In other words, the LORD sent them away, so the Land would be quarantined, rested for 70 years to replenish itself, and get full of the precious minerals that would bring it back to life, in order to be fruitful.

So now fast forward to this time….

What do you hear when someone says quarantine?

—Quarantine, this word brings most people to a pulsating heartbeat and sweats all over their bodies.

The Solution

The LORD also has a period in time where dirty things, become clean after 40 days. This 40-day quarantine is all over the Hebrew Scriptures of the Old Testament.

Now think of something; most of humanity has been mandated to quarantine ourselves.

I must admit one thing. I live in Los Angeles, where the air is not that clean. But lately, the skies are incredibly clear, and the hues are a different and deeper blue.

—We also have noticed that our breathing is better. This is usually the start of allergy season and so far, so good for me.

All this said, I wonder if God has forced people to a quarantine?

What God wants for humanity

One—He wants to reconnect with all people from all lands. He is calling out to everyone to get closer to Him. No, this covid-19 virus is not from God; this is a man-made pestilence. God will take the things that people intend for evil and use it for His good and His will.

Two—He wants us to stop and get back to reading His Bible, which is a love letter that needs to be read from the beginning to the end. This is where we get our wisdom and are able to see what God wants in our lives.

I always tell people when they ask me where to start reading:

—Go to the Gospel of John. This is going to show you how much God loves us. Because His Son Jesus would die a gruesome death for our sins. Not His.

—Then read the Psalms, because, in them, you will see God’s love, patience, and grace. You will see that the LORD is our refuge and a mighty fortress where we can enter into His protection from things like, well, this virus.

—You can read the Proverbs, and see that wisdom has been calling to people since the beginning of humanity. I have noticed that people are Tech-savvy, IQ savvy, but lack Godly wisdom. This Godly wisdom is what’s needed today.

Three— He wants us to stop and get back to the important things. Family time, rest time. Rest for the ocean, the beaches, the skies, etc.

Four— God wants people to reconnect with one another. I notice how much friendlier people are when we are walking by, even with this social distancing, more people are waving and saying hello. We seem to take people LESS for granted than before.

***Unknown Author-contact me so I can give you credit***!

Five—Find out what God wants from you while you are inside. Some of the Greatest things invented and written have happened while under quarantine.

—I will stop here. There is so much more. But that is for next time. So for now, enjoy the time of solitude. Enjoy your family members that live with you. Cherish and miss those whom you will not see until May. But most importantly, let the outside replenish itself while you spiritually replenish yourself on the inside….

The CEO, The Servant, & The Tyrant |TRUTH BEHIND TYRANNY 2020 ELECTIONS

I will continue to write about this, as long as there are people taking advantage of their power through this virus quarantine.

The decision to be the best or worst

With this Chinese Wuhan crown virus or coronavirus or covid-19 virus, some people will try to enforce things they have no business doing. Yes, there are self-quarantine rules. Yes, some people will break those rules, and yes, for saving the lives of babies who will be slaughtered at the altar of convenience, people should and do have the right to lawfully assemble. And, per the God-given First Amendment, they have the lawful right to assemble in front of, pray for and with, counsel together and for, each person that is going into these Planned Parenthoods.

There will always be those who are representing us, getting paid by us, who will become tyrants when things get tough. This is a time when all of us have to come together. Those in charge of emergency personnel, first responders and healthcare providers, including those in the highest positions in government and agencies, who dictate rules and regulations need people with integrity.

People with integrity needed

We need people in these positions who will uphold the Constitution, keep the masses calm. Leaders who will take counsel from the best of the best experts. Yet make informed and quick decisions with the knowledge that the experts have given them. It is not for those experts to take control of the situation and push their own agendas. This is for our elected officials to decide, specifically, our President.

President Trump is where the buck stops. Not the World Health Organization, not the CDC, not Congress, Not the Supreme Court. The buck stops and rolls right into the oval office for the most powerful elected official on the planet to decide what happens next.

Let the CEO ask, think, decide, & lead

Contrary to the social media and news outlets, where most reporters and so-called experts gather to criticize and make condescending comments about everything the President says or does, most of these people have never held any business positions of authority. They have no clue what kind of personality is needed to succeed as a CEO, VP, or Manager.

This President, with his New York City harshness and toughness, is just the man for this “Pandemic”.

Most news channels have critics complaining that he does what he pleases. They only see the tip of the iceberg. When POTUS speaks in his covid-19 briefings, he is getting the best advice from top experts in Finance, Health, National Defense, etc.

Once he has enough information from all the experts, it is for him to make the decisions, not his experts, not the media, not any exPOTUSs. Just Him and him alone, with the weight of the world on his shoulders.

The same goes for all people. From the sheriff in charge of LASD to the small-town police department captains and personnel.

the sad reality

No one should become a tyrant. Especially those who wear badges. I will give this police officer credit, he came back to tell them he was wrong and allowed for the gorup assembled to stay but with the condition of assembling ten people at one time, and social distancing themselves.

Peace officers are there to— uphold the Constitution of the United States of America. To enforce the law, not the bylaws of the city or the state. And they are their not to push their own agendas.

the Public servants must serve not be served

They are there to serve and protect the public from harm. Not to harass those with First, Second, and all the rest of their rights given to them by the Constitution.

If Planned Parenthood has a right to kill human beings, We the People have the right to assemble, pray, counsel, and fellowship peacefully. Even if it means breaking up groups by 10.

Article [I] (Amendment 1 – Freedom of expression and religion) ¹³

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

But the First Amendment right is there no matter what is going on, and more specifically, as the worst of the worst crisis is going on. Because it is in these crises, that we see our individual God-given rights flow and grow. It is not a time for the anti-gun grabbers, anti-christian church foes, or any other control the masses freaks to come out and grab power.

& Finally For christians to share the gospel

As for those who are Christians, we must do the work that the LORD told us to do…this supersedes any man-made laws. Defend, Go out, Pour out… and turn the world upside down for Christ!

Who is data checking the W.H.O.’s data numbers? |CORONAVIRUS 2020

March 25, 2020

Data in World Health Oraganization may be incorrect

The W.H.O. answers to, and is part of the United Nations. There are no checks and balances to keep them honest with sovereign countries like the United States.

What we see in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Seattle, and in all the liberal stronghold cities and towns in the United States is what real fascism looks like. We have acted blindly by the advice of two organizations, the World Health Organization, and the C.D.C., who have no checks and balances like we have in our tri-balanced governing branches.

When all this is done, we need to rethink how & where we get our “Epidemic” & “Pandemic” data from!

And we need to hold both the W.H.O., and the C.D.C. accountable, so they don’t cause any future major economic depression worldwide without giving facts and figures out. We as a society need to ask tough questions. Yes, we need to save lives. Yes, we need to be smart about closing things down. Yes, we need to be careful, but in the end, the numbers are not adding up!

Not enough exact numbers & percentages of data.
We need to know what age groups are being affected.
Lifestyle choices, or pre-existing health conditions, of those affected.
Why a minute percentage affected are children, etc.

Doing my research I found—Case and point:

Excerpts:

“Until March 18 we relied on the World Health Organization (WHO) as our source. We aimed to rely on the WHO as they are the international agency with the mandate to provide official estimates on the pandemic. The WHO reports this data for each single day and they can be found here at the WHO’s site.”

“Since March 18 it became unfortunately impossible to rely on the WHO data to understand how the pandemic is developing over time. With Situation Report 58 the WHO shifted the reporting cutoff time from 0900 CET to 0000 CET. This means that comparability is compromised because there is an overlap between these two WHO data publications (Situation Reports 57 and 58).”

“Additionally we found many errors in the data published by the WHO when we went through all the daily Situation Reports. We immediately notified the WHO and are in close contact with the WHO’s team to correct the errors that we pointed out to them.”

“[S]ome Errata were published by the WHO—in the same place as the Situation Reports—but most errors were either retrospectively corrected without public notice or remain uncorrected.”

The lack of good data available during the coronavirus outbreak has been a major source of frustration for economists, statisticians, scientists, and public policy professionals.

“”A Stanford University epidemiologist and professor of medicine, in a widely circulated Stat article, recently said the COVID-19 pandemic could end up being a “a once-in-a-century evidence fiasco.””

“The data collected so far on how many people are infected and how the epidemic is evolving are utterly unreliable,” said John P.A. Ioannidis, who co-directs Stanford’s Meta-Research Innovation Center.”

And the possible connection to vaping and smoking::

Excerpts:

“People who smoke or vape may be at increased risk when it comes to coronavirus. This indication comes from Dr. Stanton Glantz, professor of medicine at UCSF.”

““Vaping, like smoking, depresses immune function in your lungs and your lungs in addition to moving air in and out of your body, to get oxygen to your cells and to get rid of carbon dioxide have an important immune function because when you’re breathing you breathe in a lot of bacteria and viruses,” Glantz said.“”

“Dr. Glantz explains e-cigarettes and smoking makes it harder for your body to fight off a viral infection.“

“Doctors say COVID-19 directly attacks the lungs“

“Vaping has skyrocketed particularly in young people.“

“The CDC reports that young adults from ages 20 to 44 make up a big part of COVID-19 hospitalizations in the United States.”

The Poltical Cure —Get rid of the virus & start Afresh! |CORONAVIRUS 2020

March 24,2020

We may be patient, but we aren’t stupid!

Each day, another valuable life dies. This is unacceptable!

The first thing I want to say is this. Whether you are a conservative or liberal, independent or very pro party, young or old, new to politics or experienced, violence is not the answer to any solutions. What is said here is for getting back to healthy debates among all people from all walks of life and political stances.

—Having said this, here in the US, the way this Crown virus from China has been dramatized into an almost national Martial Law is to be questioned. I have already spoken about this in my past blog posts.

So I will address these next two things.

—The way the Democrats have kidnapped and ransomed the American people is shameful. This is not a time to hold this country at bay. If we the people have to stay home longer than needed because of your sophomoric fighting and bickering, it’s time to get rid of you come November.

—Too many of you have gotten rich off of side deals and investments while working for the people. It’s time to get your sorry behinds out of Congress.

—This goes for any governor or city official who is wasting people’s money. Or have you forgotten who pays your salaries, and takes the brunt of the tax burden?

I urge all of you to stop trying to get your self-interests and the self-interests of your lobbyists ahead of us. Too many of you have gotten your butt cheeks imprinted on the hallowed chairs in Congress while doing nothing!

It’s time for you to move out and allow people who will bring in fresh, fiscally conservative ideas to come in and save the country from, well, from you. We are not in a moment to spend on things that have nothing to do with stopping and curing this #coronavirus!

So enough of trying to get your way like a pre-schooler who lusts after some other pre-schooler’s toy.

Madam Speaker, I don’t care if they did not add your rubber ball into the stimulus package. Senator Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez, no green new deal! If you want to pass such a fiscally irresponsible monster which will eat America’s wealth, and make it look like Cuba and Venezuela,try this:

Both of you get on a private plane while drinking your champagne on my tax dollars and take a permanent vacation there. I’ll even buy your one-way ticket!

For the rest of our Congressional representatives, just get the Stimulus package done and get the medicines out so we can finally have some sanity back. The money is not the issue, we want to get back to work and to our normal lives!

I will not sacrifice my life & work if you aren’t serious enough to take care of things in Congress!!!!!!

We, the People, are watching all of you! And come November, some of you, unlike the much needed stimulus package, will not make the cut….

Better To Try Than Die! |Coronavirus 2020

MArch 20,2020

Quick note from POTUS press conference today:

President Trump held a press conference telling the public that they may have found a cure for the virus that started in Wuhan province of China. Members of the Press wanted to sensationalize and take advantage of the virus by fear mongering again. President Trump shut them down.

I agree with the President. There should not be any fear mongering when it comes to this virus. During WWII, the press was united with the President to combat a great terror, Hitler & his minions. Today, the Wuhan coronavirus holds the same terror worldwide, whether self-made or actual terror, it is something we all must come togetehr to combat.

Notes from Press COnference 3-20-2020

Dr. Deborah Leah Birx:

Mr. President, so we continue to review the data very carefully from around the globe, as I know many of you are. We continue to see signs that again individuals under 20, 19 and under may have severe disease but majority and all have recovered to date. We still see that same trend, and frankly from Italy we’re seeing a very another concerning trend that the mortality in male(s), seems to be twice in every age group of females. This should alert all of us to continue our vigilance to protect our Americans that are in nursing homes. This requires all of the community when you see the sacrifices that many Americans have made. The sacrifices that the service industry has made to close their restaurants, close their bars, and so that the spread is discontinued; and then you really understand how all of Americans must make the same sacrifice. We continue to ask you to follow the presidential guidelines. Of no groups coming together of more than 10 (people). That if anyone in the household is sick, that everyone quarantines in the household together, and that we continue to focus on those who have the most vulnerability to this illness.

Reporter: “Dr. (Anthony) Fauci, as was explained yesterday, there has been some promise with Hydroxychloroquine. This potential therapy, for people who are infected with coronavirus. Is there any evidence to suggest, that as with malaria, it might be used as a prophylaxis against covid-19?”

Dr. Fauci: “No, the answer is is no, and and the the evidence that you’re talking about John is anecdotal evidence. So as the Commissioner of FDA and the President mentioned yesterday. We’re trying to strike a balance between making something with a potential of an affect to the American people available. At the same time that we do it under the auspices of a protocol that would give us information to determine if it’s truly safe and truly effective. But the information that you’re referring to specifically is anecdotal. It was not done in the control of clinical trial, so you really can’t make any definitive statement.”

President Trump: “Without seeing too much I’m probably more of a fan of that, than uh, maybe than anybody. But I’m a big fan and we’ll see what happens. And we all understand what the doctor said is a hundred percent correct. It’s early, but we’ve uh,you know I’ve seen things that are impressive, and we’ll see. We’re going to know soon. We’re gonna know soon. Including safety but you know, when you get that safety this has been prescribed for many years for people to combat malaria which was a big problem and it’s very effective. It’s a strong it’s a strong drug so we’ll see…“

Dr. Fauci interjecting:-More bureaucratic save my behind, careful wording so I can keep my job longer. (I know, I know, but that’s how I feel!)

My take: In Australia (See link below), they have had great results in curing covid-19. ALso in France there is another peer reviewed study (see below). No offense to Dr. Fauci, but he’s been in the limelight too much and has grown used to the government bureacracy of taking so long to make something available. What part of people been cured and also peer reviews do these people not understand?

All this to say, I am with President Trump on this. If I had a loved one dying of this horrible virus, I would not hesitate to call a doctor to give my loved one any of these medcines. It’s better to try than to have them die!!!

We must all come together to pray for a cure. This can’t happen if every Christian is paralyzed. Remember that we are the light of the world becasue we have the LIGHT if the world filling us!

It’s time to shine people!

Questions—When They Don’t Have an Objective Objective! |Prophetic Murmurings 2020

March 19,2020

There may be a cure for the covid-19. It has gone through peer review through a French doctor who has had a 100% cure rate in test subjects. I don’t want to give details of this yet, since, for now, it is too new to give people false hopes.

I hope this is true and that we have a cure for this. It has been complete madness. I also think that this has been some sort of test run to see if the masses are awake or sleeping…

There are lots of questions I would ask of the governing authorities. Because this is what they all are. Like President Trump, all Governors in every state, Congressional representatives, etc.

What I find disconcerting is the lack of information disseminated to the public. I understand we are to keep calm, but here are the things that I have serious questions about:

—Why did the public, including myself, allow for our government to put us in isolation without having facts and figures?

—How many deaths are attributed to the homeless problem we have in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York? I am not isolating these cities alone, Miami, Seattle, DC, etc.

—Out of the total population, since this is supposedly an airborne virus, how many of those infected are heavy smokers—through cigarettes, vaping, and “medical” marijuana?

I am not speaking of those that have asthma, or lung issues that are not from the above things I mentioned.

— Out of all those infected, what percentage are older, above 65? Of those, how many lived in small living places like convalescent homes, group homes, and those types of cramped living spaces where social distancing is not an option?

—Of those older people affected by the virus, how many had previous health problems?

— Usually, when an outbreak like this happens, like the SARS, MERS, H1N1, we’ve never had such drastic measures taken worldwide. Those epidemics reached the US but weren’t that bad. My concern is that as a society, we reacted severely.

Too many people started hoarding out of fear, or to take advantage and price gouge others in their communities.

—This outbreak had the world afraid because one—the Media, all media, scared the pants out of those who were watching, listening to, or reading their Fear Mongering headlines.

—We also, as a society, have allowed others to think for us. Whatever the WHO (World Health Organization), CDC (Centers for Disease Control), or UN (United Nations) or governing bodies of each country say, we take it as solid truth!

I am not an anarchist or rebel. What I am is an independent thinker. I don’t allow people to tell me something without facts.

Even when people come to me and say something like, “They say, or they told us on Facebook…or They say it’s pretty bad…They told us the death toll is this many…First thing I ask, who are THEY? What are THEY? Are THEY experts in the matter?

Even if THEY are experts on the given subject, in this case, THEY being medical experts, I do not take what THEY say as 100% proof or truth.

For instance, I am still waiting to hear the exact numbers:

—What age groups have been affected the most?

—Are there any children affected?

—Is there a correlation with those affected and heavy smoking, in whatever they are smoking?

—What is the male/ female percentage of affected?

—How many deaths from each group?

—Have those affected been vaccinated in the last few years?

—Have those affected visited any other countries in the last 90 days?

—How many in each group have fully recovered?

Here are more critical questions:

Why did we allow the government, both at state and federal levels, to mandate self-quarantines, without really having the above numbers, percentages, and questions answered?

Which leads me to other crucial thoughts:

The WHO is part of the UN. The same UN that have, in recent history, been so slanted against the United States and Israel.

Having said this, the doctors who make up the WHO are there to make the world better.

But they, the WHO don’t answer to us, who do they answer to?

But my biggest concern is that the WHO, will, because of being part of the UN, make decisions which are part of the goals of the UN, and for me, in my personal opinion, I do not, in any way, believe the UN has any objective objective (No, that’s not a typo).

The UN and the USA have been at odds on so many things. That’s for another post.

Now back to this covid-19 madness, by the time this whole thing is worked out, the United States will have lost trillions of dollars economically.

Are lives important? Yes, they are of most importance. Have we overdone things? Yes, we have allowed ourselves, our fears, greediness, and survival modes to go into overdrive.

But we have also allowed our God-given rights to erode immensely. Because now, the WHO which does not answer to us as a sovereign nation, but only to the United Nations, has taken power that it should not have!

I, for one, am grateful for the self-imposed restrictions my family and I have gone through. I don’t need government to tell me to do this. It’s not for them to tell me. It’s for me to do the common sense thing. We can’t become dependent on any governing body!

But I have a strong inkling that this self-quarantine is just the beginning to bring in more mass control. Especially from a country like the US, where we hold individual rights above the cattle herd rights. But this, is changing, and I don’t like where it’s going.

The one world ruler is salivating with delight at the way we Christians in America have just handed in our God-given rights to ask more from our government…

WHo is the one world ruler-dictator? Next part…

Don’t misjudge Our Prayer Time as inaction! |NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER 3-15-2020 Pt. II

WARNING:

Picked up tweets recently of a Democratic Representative and a kid who thinks being in the spotlight by saying his parents are ***** ignorant on how to run a democracy; the same childish kid who is grown up but acts like an 8-year-old, said **** prayer.

When you use foul language, it shows everyone your lack of maturity & ignorance of a language.

Reality is, these two people are not the only ones saying this. If you are on Facebook and Twitter, you will see a few things:

—People dropping the F-Bomb regarding people who pray or say,” I’ll be praying for this,” or President Trump’s tweet on National Day for Prayer. Some people took to social media to F-Bomb those who prayed.

This Representative of the people by the people tweeted and F-bomb regarding POTUS’ National Day of Prayer.

And then when she got a storm of criticism everywhere on social media, she started back peddling. Saying that she prays….clearing my throat….yes because the F-Bomb on praying tells me that you are a prayer warrior….

You think it’s isolated, but this isn’t the only time. When there have been shootings, people take to prayer. Those who are atheists will drop the F-Bomb and say that we need action, not empty words.

WARNING: Here comes my rebuttal:

Some of those people who say things like this are the ones that have really never given anything to humanity. They hide behind their “social justice warrior” cape & have never given from their own food or water to anyone…they just talk & complain!

It is not we who believe in God that are ignorant, old fashioned, and clueless. We have a life compass, guiding us when we pray.

—You don’t see us going around angry and offended at everything and everyone. We remain faithful in the teachings of Jesus, our LORD and Savior. We remain confident in what the future holds because we know Who holds the future in His hands.

Neither is it by our power, nor the government or anyone else. This is where you, who are without hope, fall short.

Going back in time, you’ll see, there were true Christians in Europe praying on their knees during the dark ages. They did not succumb to doubt or fear, like what is going on now with this coronavirus. These true believers knew what the Bible told them.

We need more Prayer Warriors, not empty social justice warriors

History will show, Christians feared the plague. But they took precautions, they did not let fear and those who were hysterical, get to them. Because they knew what the Word of God said back then, and we believers understand what the Word of God says now.

Even Christians perished while helping, but they helped lessen the agony of those dying vThere were Christians all over the Roman Empire and beyond, who were selfless.

They prayed, they got on their knees, but it wasn’t a posture of defeat! It was a picture of humility. Humility to ask God for help, and boy did God help them!

Love of God, helped Christians move fast. Once they got back on their feet, they went into action. They, were not filled with fear and hopelessness. They were the ones that cleaned boils off of those dying. They gave water and food to the dying and needy. They adopted the orphans of those who perished.

People who were regularly on their knees got up and changed the world. They became a model of what people should do to love their neighbor.

So fast forward to the beginning of this great nation; these same people you call “ignorant and weak” for praying, once they got up from their prayer closets, they changed the world again.

These prayer warriors who had bent the knee to the LORD of Creation got up and built the most renowned Universities on earth: in Oxford, England, across the pond here, Pastors and ministers established the Yale’s, Harvard’s, Columbia’s, and the Lutherans, Presbyterians, and Catholic hospitals of this country. They built schools in every town. They taught English to the natives. Schools were free because you see, unlike atheists, we knew what we could do by praying!

Or you go to St. Johns or Yale or USC or Notre Dame. People on their knees who knew what personal, corporate, and National Prayer days were.

Ask yourself where an atheist Hospital is? Last I checked, St. Josephs, Cedar Sinai, Presbyterian Hospital, etc., is where you go to get well or during an emergency.

Christians changed the Roman Empire from within. They took babies left on porches because the fathers rejected them for whatever reasons they deemed. These Christians were slaves and free, yet all prayed corporately. These Christians gathered, rich and poor, masters, and slaves. Slaves taught, masters were their disciples. Equality was real! There was no racism. Women were equal to men. These prayer warriors were on equal terms.

Ask yourself next time you hear someone saying F*** prayer, if the person is ignorant of the things done by prayer warriors. Look back in history and educate them!

Those of us who pray don’t stay in a kneeling position long.

Change comes when we are on our knees in prayer, because we are getting instructions from our Dad. He is the Creator of this world. He made everything in the universe. He knows the end from the beginning. He holds everything in place. He is the Master Craftsman! He is the One we go to on our knees because we know that when He tells us to get up, it is time for action!

You who don’t know this, are in a fog. That’s because you don’t know where we get our strength.

That strength and guidance changed the world. No other faith can say this and atheists can’t either.

So next time you hear someone say,” Enough of prayer, F*** prayer!” Remind them that those who prayed get things done! Those who don’t, well, they cuss and moan and let those who pray do the heavy lifting.

If you are fed up of not knowing where the world will be in the future, get to know God, get to know the power of prayer:

A Call To National Prayer |National Day of Prayer 3-15-2020

Tomorrow is a National Day of Prayer

President Trump has asked for the nation to come together to solemnly petition the Creator of the Universe, the One who can bring this pandemic panic to a halt.

Today, I am just a Christian man coming before you, asking all of you to humble yourselves to pray alongside me and the rest of us who will be getting together to pray for this covid-19 virus.

We will not be speaking about politics or who is at fault. We will not be blaming a country, a person, nor a party.

We will be coming together for one specific thing—to ask God for protection, for a cure, for a blessing.

In the past, when Israel had wandered away from God, prophets would call upon the leadership of the nation to ask for forgiveness. You see this with Moses, who was Israel’s representative to speak on their behalf. In Exodus 32, God is ready to wipe Israel off the face of the earth for their:

—The people’s anti-Moses sentiment—Exodus 5:19 & *Numbers*** 16

—The people’s persistent whining and complaining—Exodus 14:11-12

—The people’s complaining about the food they were eating—– Exodus 16:1-4

—People complained about always being thirsty—Exodus 17:1-4

*—But their worse sin was the people’s faithlessness and idolatry, turning away from God and worshipping a man-made creation of.—Exodus 32:8***

—The people’s stubborn refusal to move forward—Numbers 14:1-10

In Israel’s wilderness experience, we see the people turning against Moses, who was their representative before God.

Moses is being confronted daily. Some make it known that Moses does not represent them. They blame Moses for all of their problems. Even Aaron and Miryam are among the ones who are against Moses at one point.

But what the Israelites do not realize is this:

God called Moses, personally.

God had plans for Moses personally.

God used Moses personally.

God gave Moses His power personally.

God called Moses to be His personal secretary.

God did not call anyone else to lead Israel into the Promised Land.

Not even Moses would cross into the Promise Land.

God would not have people murmuring and complaining amongst His people.

Yet, people are people. We all murmur, complain, want to go back to what is comfortable for us, and forget about God at one point or another. Moses intercedes for the Israelites. Even though they have been deadset in getting rid of him. Moses’ heart is to serve God’s people.

Moses’ thoughts are not to get vengeance on any of them, but that all should come to repentance so that they can live long enough to see God’s promises fulfilled in and through them.

But God is always so faithful, loving, merciful, and patient with us. It when we have to be disciplined that He does what any loving parent will do when his children have crossed the line one too many times.

Even then, when Moses pleads for God’s mercy on His people Israel, God hears Moses’ prayers and forgives them. What should that tell us to do when all else fails, and we know that our society has crossed the line one too many times?

The time for us to pray llike Moses and Daniel is now! Do not wait. May you and I and everyone come together with our Nation’s Leader and pray for our country. May we be in one accord in praying for this epidemic and division. May we come before the Almighty’s throne and lay our burdens at His feet. Rich, poor, liberal, conservative, Black, White, Asian, Hispanic.Male, female,child, elderly.

Come, let us reason together and ask for God’s forgiveness, blessings, and unity. God bless this country; God cure this country physically, mentally, but most of all, spiritually…

P.S. Daniel’s prayer is one of the most profound prayers in the Bible. Please take a closer look at Daniel’s prayer in Daniel 9 and 10

President Trump has called the nation to pray, God in the past, has heard the prayers of the nation’s leader and people. Please join me on this.

If you don’t have a relationship with God & want to start, here is information to help you make an informed decision before tomorrow’s day of prayer:

A Weekend at Bernie’s Anyone? |Truth Behind Tyranny 2020 Elections

I was a small kid when the gas’s lines of the 70s were in full swing. The Arab countries’ embargoes were at their zenith. I was just a kid, but remember having to wait in line with my dad for what seemed an eternity.

Tempers flared, the dark side of people became apparent.

Some would take their anger on the government’s inability to fix the situation. Some people would take advantage of the situation by trying to cut in the long lines. Of course, the outcome was always the same. People, mostly the drivers, and also mostly men, would go at the person with such recoil that usually, the cheater would get in his car, peel out, with his tail in between his legs. While all those who had been waiting in line, jeered infectiously towards the vehicle, which was making a run for the hills.

I remember looking at the kids inside the cheating cars, they were just like me, trying to figure out why grown-ups would be so infantile. Adults were always telling us to act our age, and yet, the first minute there was any type of crisis, they would revert to being two-year-olds.

“Me, mine, no, I want it!”—This is how I imagine a small percentage of those grown-ups back then waiting in line.

Fast forward to this moment in time. My wife tried going to Costco yesterday. Keep in mind she has to go on her lunch break. I had tried around 8 a.m., but the lines were extremely long.

So today, I made my way to Costco to get gas; usually, the lines are pretty long, but today it wasn’t too bad. Out of curiosity, I went to the front of the warehouse. To my surprise, the line was again, ungodly long.

Here’s the thing, we are not in an embargo crisis, nor are we in a Great Depression. Yes, the markets have been down because of this Coronavirus scare. And no, the lines waiting to get in as early as 8:10 a.m. shouldn’t be like this!

Two things I want to convey,

—If this is causing what I call the Great Coronavirus Scare of Election 2020, imagine if we ever elected a Socialist for President. We would not only have water and toilet paper shortages, we’d have forced diets of nothing Americans hold dear. Under every “socialist” government, what follows is high gas, food, utilities, and healthcare lines.

— Also, in my last post, I spoke of the dangers of Bernie Sanders. He calls himself a Socialist-Democrat, whatever his convoluted concoction he’s mixed together, it is still a fake narrative of promises to those who want free food, healthcare, housing, and whatever else he’s fake promising.

First off, he doesn’t give anyone a specific amount. This is the agenda of the communists. They will promise the moon and stars. Promise to take from the rich to give to the poor, like Robin Hood. Except, he is one of those “rich” people who owns three houses, has made millions from his book, and gives extremely meager amounts to charity. This is the guy who will if elected , be the authoritarian against any who oppose his beliefs. How do I know, wait for it…

Bernie Sanders is a Communist, plain & simple.
Nothing less & nothing more

Do your homework. Sanders praised Castro (click link of summary video), the Sandinistas, and has never come out condemning any fascist regimes like China, N. Korea, and Venezuela. Why would you think he hasn’t done it? Because he wants to set up the same kind of loser government here.

Ask yourselves why the governing elitists always want to take the 2nd Amendment away? Our right to keep and bear arms is the Second Amendment our Founding Fathers wrote. There is an essential aspect to this. They knew that in the future, the US government could become a bunch of authoritarian despots, taking more and more away from their subjects.

Except, we are not their subjects. We are subject to no man! We have God-given rights that can’t be taken away except by God. Unless We the People allow tyranny to happen.

All this to say, look at this picture above, that is what the future of America will be if we elect that old white guy who screams that the President of the United States is a racist and sexist. Yet, while Bernie was living off of the taxpayers, Donald Trump was hiring, blacks, women, Latinos, and other minorities in his businesses. The President was loved by Oprah, Hollywood, the black community in New York, and had been giving a Medal of Honor from Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and other leaders. If this man is so racist, why would they give him that honor?

***Couldn’t find original source please let me know so I can give you credit***

Now coming back to the long lines, if you like standing in line hours before stores open, to get basics, like toilet paper and water, go ahead and vote in Bernie and people like him.

Your wait in long lines now is just a practice rehearsal of what America can become under a Fascist Socialist President. Please don’t believe me. Just take a look at all the socialist experiment countries who have tried it:

***List of The Failed “Socialist” Experiment***

No, the Scandinavian countries are not socialists. This is another lie that good ol’ Bernie tells to make his story believable,

And if you believe Bernie’s story, I have some fabulous beachfront property in Cuba and Venezuela to sell you! You could be spending a weekend at Bernies…or a lifetime…you take your pick!

The only thing you need is a one-way ticket and your passport. Then, you could enjoy your days standing in long lines to get gas, whatever food they give you, and the best healthcare in the world, where people from the Western countries are desperate to get those doctors to treat them too…Sorry, the last statement would be something Bernie would say to get your vote…

Walk, Talk, Caulk-but don’t balk your walk with God!

We try to have dinner with our kids at least twice a month. I know that we are blessed when it comes to being able to accomplish this.
Most of the time, after we eat, we take our grandkids out and let them run, jump, and monkey bar, their calories and energy off.

But my favorite part of all this has always been walking. With my wife when it was just us, with my kids when they were the age of my grandkids. Now, with our kids, and grandchildren.
Even in ministry, when someone has something on their mind, they know that the first thing I will say is, “Walk with me..”
So the cycle of walking and communicating with anyone who wants to go walking with me is, that it will be for conversation and encouragement or teaching.
So back to my story, as we are walking around our neighborhood, my granddaughter grabs a dandelion, and the rest of our clan sees this, my daughter yells out, “Look a dandelion.”
My one year old granddaughter looks at it intently for a few seconds as my family passes both of us. She looks around, seeing her mom and dad ahead about 10 yards and looks up at me and says, “Roarrrr!!”
I laughed so hard. My wife and grown adult children and grandson did not hear her. But I laughed, and I had a quick thought.

“33 Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. ..34 For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks…”—Matthew 12:34

You see, when we walk with God, we get the benefit of communication with the most incredibly powerful Being in the universe.

We get to see what He sees, learn what He is trying to teach us, and be discipled both in the good, and the not so good ways.

“”I will also walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people.””—Leviticus 26:12

When we are steadily by God’s side, it is the best place to be.

This is where we get to take everything and anything off of us and give them to Him. Where He, in turn, shows us, teaches us, covers us, keeps us in the safety of His Being, while the storm rages over, or even when the sky is perfectly clear and warm.

“27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.”—Luke 24:27

The object of us walking with God is not to cherish the walk, but to cherish Him being by our side, knowing that we are in perfect harmony with The Almighty Redeemer of the universe. For us to:

Enjoy the conversation, the teaching, and the guiding.

So my granddaughter’s roaring like a lion was an extension of what she has been taught during the precious time with:

One, my daughter and son in law’s storytime with her; & two, my wife and I’s time reading the same story to her.

The precious time we all invest in our walk is where we find out who requires attention, encouragement, and counsel.

This is how God works with us, His sheep. He is continuously calling out to us, by our personal names. He invests time with every one of us, drawing us to Him, near Him, and with Him.

It is up to us not to miss the main point, which is definitely not the walk, but the precious quality time listening to God.

Just like my tradition of walking with those whom I love and cherish, God calls us to Him, to walk with Him. He wants to walk with His people. After all, He came down from Heaven twice in History.

“27 My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand.…”—John 10:27

Once in the Garden, where he wanted to walk with Adam and Eve. And once when He came as a humble Carpenter. Both times, He tried to draw us close to Him, Both times, He called us to walk with Him.

Only those who are listening to His voice will hear Him. Be one of them…

A Hard Hitting Letter To The Bernie Generation |The Truth Behind Tyranny-2020 Elections

“I want a loan!” The man demanded. The poor loan officer didn’t know what to do. He had been trying to explain the concept of getting a loan for over ten minutes, “Sir I’ve already told you, the bank can’t give you a loan without an application, and without a total amount of money that you want to borrow.”

That made the man livid, “I want to talk to the manager, now!”

The poor loan officer went to get the bank manager. About a minute or so later the manager came down to speak to the man, “How can I help you today sir?”

I can’t believe the rotten service I’m getting!” I want a loan, this is a bank right?”

“Sir,” the manager calmly replied, “Without an application, a business proposal or total loan amount you want to borrow, I’m afraid we can’t help you.”

“How dare you!” The man asking for the loan screamed, turning red. At that moment, two security guards came, and forcefully had to escort the crazy man out of the bank…

The above story is so ridiculous that you are laughing at how completely silly it is.

The first thing I want to make sure anyone reading this gets is this, I am a sinner saved by the love, grace, and mercy of the Eternal One.
So when I mention things that are hard-hitting, it’s because I know the human mind. It is deceitful, beyond cure, who can understand what people do to their neighbor because of what they have bought wholeheartedly in their minds.

Throughout history, we see the atrocities done in the name of mankind. Religion, atheists, political leanings, love, hate, for conveniences; you name the cause, and an act of wickedness of some kind has been done.

So when I say that this country is at a terrible impasse, I mean this wholeheartedly.

I see a great divide between those that want the government to take care of them from an incubator to the casket, and those that want to live free, work hard and reap the benefits of going out into the world to be productive.

Specifically, I see this in those under 35 years of age. This particular generation seems to think that they are owed something that no American generation has ever been given. Now again, it’s not all the generation, because I see some incredibly productive Millennials who are thriving at work or in their businesses. But, I hate to say this, a significant percentage of the Millennials do not want to take responsibility. They would rather stay at home with their parents, using up the parental utilities, enjoying the cars, cells, and laptops they have been given, than exploding into the world with all the energy, zest, or gusto to make this world a better place.

Instead, they will be voting for quite frankly, an older mirror image of themselves.

I have really thought of this for a few years. Why would a generation of young, smart, friendly, and educated, want someone like Bernie Sanders as President?
Because they want someone just like them. Millennials can scream and protest and cover their faces, wearing black clothing all they want. They can protest global warming, scream at adults and call my generation incompetent fools for allowing climate change to wipe out humanity in ~~198~~8, ~~1996~~, ~~2000~~, ~~2006,~~ ~~2012~~, I mean as of 2017, humanity has 12 more years to go, before the total annihilation of earth.
Now back to my point, Millenials are savvy when it comes to smart tech, but boy are they neanderthals when it comes to getting out into the world.
I will blame my generation for their failure to some extent. But in the end, adult age starts at 21, when it’s convinient for you to say you’re adults…
There is so much one could blame on the parents one had.

All this to say, all those voting for Bernie, are voting for something that is unattainable.

You are voting for a mirror image of yourselves. You will be voting in a man, like the above story, who has never worked a day in his life.

Bernie has never really done anything in Congress to set himself apart from the group in an extraordinary way.
But worse than this, you have bought into the lie that Bernie can get you free medical, free college, free healthcare. For you to be free to do nothing.

Life is not like this. Every minute of every day, people must choose to make a positive impact on the earth. Or people can choose to live a life of taking from humanity without impacting anyone.
I choose to make a positive impact on humanity.

Unlike Bernie, who has never given his followers a precise plan, how he will give everyone everything they’ve ever wanted, without applying for a loan through Congress, which he has been serving longer than most Millennials have been alive.

Also, without having a total amount of how many trillions of dollars it will cost us the taxpayers, who are the bank managers for that foolish man.
If you believe Bernie, I want you to try this out:

Tomorrow, go to any bank close to you and ask for a loan that has no fixed amount attached to it.
Then tell them that the loan not only has to be open, but it also has to be approved to you without an application or business proposal.
Then, when the bank kicks you out, go back home.

Go to your bathroom, look in the mirror, and imagine yourself being an old Jewish Democratic Socialist,which is code for Communist, who promises everyone what they want to hear, just to get elected and not have to work a day in his negatively impactful life…

A hard Hitting Letter to American Parents |The Truth behind Tyranny 2020 Elections

A hard hitting letter to parents who have millennial children still at home:

The March 2020 elections are here.

This means that some people will go into the voting booths full of knowledge, some will go full of ignorance and some will vote because of peer pressure.

Where do you and your adult children fit in the above?

I’m going to be speaking frankly in this multi-part blog series, to the parents of the last two generations. My kids are from the Millennial Generation. I know parents who have Centennials. Either way, I want to encourage you to be more active in all their thought processes. They still need you for their spiritual, mental and physical training. We are living in politically dangerous times, because most parents have become nonchalant when it comes to explaining the God given freedoms that this country affords all people.

The schools are infested with an over abundance of agendas that have seeped into the educational system since the early 1900s, with John Dewey and friends’ socialist agenda.

Now, we are in an impasse politically. Most young adults have been taught that America is evil. Very few schools do The Pledge of Allegiance. Very few have objective American History classes, let alone, civics classes where they learn about American values.

You name a political-left agenda, our kids have been taught about it. Drag Queen hour is more popular than the Bill of Rights. The Gay agenda has replaced civics and home Econ classes. President bashing is the norm, forced sex-ed classes are tyrannically given without parental control.

I saw a guy driving his BMW with the following bumper stickers: A Bernie Sanders Sticker, A Rainbow Pride sticker, A Proud Teacher’s Union Sticker & a Darwin Car Sticker! This is who we have teaching our children! People with all those stickers have agendas, 9 out of 10 times, they will be anti-Christian & Anti-Conservative!

The educational system has become the sounding board of the Left, where Communism, socialism are touted as Utopian dreams. While our Founding Fathers are vilified as White Plantation vitiating the land with despotic powers, and those who love the Constitution are racist, fascists bigots.

We, the Parents, have allowed a very small minority of educators, from elementary teachers calling this President a Fascist, Nazi...to professors calling those who voted for Trump racist nazis, even though they are African-American. This is the hysteria we are living in.

BUT True fascism is this:

The above definitions depict Hitler and Mussolini’s 1930s-40s Germany and Italy. The Germans were in fact socialists.

How dare you say this Oscar, where did you get such Fake and blasphemous News? Me clearing throat…from the NAZI name— National SOCIALIST German Workers’ Party…

Well, where did you get that Mussolini was a fascist and socialist?…Me clearing throat once more…From his beginning of the Fasci di Combattimento, which was founded after breaking from the Italian Socialist Party.

Are you getting the picture? If not, let me give you a list of Socialist/ Communist Fascist leaders:

All this to say, please instruct your children about this great and wonderful country. I have said this before, America is not perfect, but what other country in the world has so many immigrants trying to get to their shores, so they could get a small piece of the American Dream? Even now, people in Hong Kong, are singing our National Anthem and waving American flags because they want the same freedom and individual rights that we have. May we never forget this. May we never forget to teach it to our kids and grandkids…

Next post- Is the President a fascist & the difference between Communism, Socialism, & Democratic Socialism…

If You are Here, Hear!

***Hebrews 4:7***
***Pic courtesy of FreePik***

“The Coronavirus…The Deaths…The Stock Market fall...The Elections….The Uncertainty… Climate Change…

It is pretty overwhelming to hear all that is going on in this world.

I am not here to add to your troubles. Quite the opposite. I am here to have you hear. Not my voice, you would never be comforted. I, like you am only human. I succumb to the same things that you do.

—If you are a teenager reading this, the world is not going to die off. People will always be screaming and clamoring for help. Do not stress over the things that you can’t control. You already have enough on your plate. Plan for the future, plan for things long term. Because this bad stuff is all going to go away. As much black death misinformation on social media and TV, do not listen to it. Keep focused on what is long term. It may be hard for you, but just do it.

—If you are in your 20s, do not stress over the things that you can’t control. Keep going to college, or trade school. Get married. Have children. Think long term. You already have enough social media pressure telling you that the world stinks, that you can’t afford a house and why have children in this dark world. I can attest to the fact that when I was a teen, or in my 20s, people were screaming that if we did not do anything for the climate, we would all be dead by 1984, 2000, 2012…As much black death misinformation on social media and TV, do not listen to it. Keep focused on what is long term.

“The world is still here.

—If you are in your 30s, do not stress over the things that you can’t control. If you still don’t own a home and are not married, it’s okay. The things you are hearing and watching all over the world, will all fade away. The things that are important, are just around the corner for you. You have found that a job doesn’t make you who you are. That is just a profession, one that doesn’t carry your identity. It is just a way to a means. Keep working wherever you are, unless you want to reinvent yourself. If you want to reinvent yourself, go for it! As much black death misinformation on social media and TV, do not listen to it. Keep focused on what is long term.

—If you are middle aged, do not stress over the things that you can’t control. By now you know that the news and social media outlets have been wrong before. We have been on the brink of human annihilation before, and nothing new is in the news. Doomsday is always a click away. If you are stressed over finances, or that you have lost 30% of your pension, do not fret. Think long term. Your adult kids will be fine. If you are blessed enough to have grand babies, then you are certainly over-joyed. Because you’ve realized that as much black death misinformation on social media and TV, you stopped listening to it. Keep focused on what is long term.

—If you are reading this and you are in the twilight of your life, I want you to look around, close your eyes, and take in the smells, and all the sensory information your body is giving you. Feel the wind in your face. Hear the sounds around you, smell everything coming your way. For long term, your senses will be intensified even more so.

“Better yet, I encourage you at whatever age you find yourselves in, to do the above.

But, the most important part of all this is, do not stress over the things that you can’t control, and if you hear God’s voice while closing your eyes, do not harden your heart. If you are stressed over all that is happening around you, hear God’s voice!

If you are afraid that you or a loved one will catch the dreaded coronavirus, hear God’s voice!

If you are worried about Climate change, hear God’s voice.

If you have lost faith in the political system, hear God’s voice!

If you think the world is going to end badly, hear God’s voice.

You see, the secret to stress free living, is long term hearing of God’s voice.

***John 14:3***
***Pic courtesy of FreePik***

Jesus is calling you, He is telling you, “Do not be afraid. I have gone before you to prepare a place in my Kingdom. This Kingdom will never end, because it had no beginning! This Kingdom I own, has been here forever. I have a place for you in My Kingdom. Do not be afraid. Take My Hand, give me your stresses, worries and burdens. I will carry them. You’ll see that My Yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Now do you understand this long term thinking? If you are wondering about all that’s going on, and are stressing over it, afraid and not being able to move, hear God’s voice.

Whatever the situation you are in, don’t harden your mind and heart, hear Him calling out to you.

Even if the world is going to tormented affliction, do not worry, God has it covered. God has you covered! Call out to Jesus, ask Him to enter into your life, to take all the bad things you have done and have been done to you, the stresses, worries, financial burdens, whatever thing may be, ask Jesus to carry them for you. Ask Him into your life. Ask Him to guide and help you. Ask Him to keep calling you into His place, because you are finally listening!

One more thing, do not stress over the things that you can’t control, let Jesus worry about those thing…Let me tell you, Jesus doesn’t worry…He takes care of things…

Props, Measures, & Smokescreens |Vote Your Morals 2020

“8 He who increases his wealth by interest and usury, lays it up for one who is kind to the poor.”— Proverbs 28:8

I was researching all these Propositions and Measures, especially Prop 13 here in California. Then I decided to look deeper into this incredible magic trick. You see, the more the State asks, the more our tax money seems to disappear.
I remember when I was in elementary school, this kid was always asking for money. He wouldn’t ask for much. He’d go around asking each of the kids in our class for a penny.
“Hey, Oscar, I’m trying to buy some milk for lunch, but my mom forgot to give me the money.”
I felt horrible hearing this. I knew what it was like when mom forgot to give me enough. So, I would give him a penny. Who would ever go broke by giving away a penny?
As we got older, I went to a different school and later on, saw the guy at one of my soccer games. We had all grown up, and guess what? The guy was now asking for quarters. He had moved up from pennies to quarters.
We got to talking after my game, making small talk and catching up. As he saw that I was going to say goodbye, he quickly started playing with his backpack, looking concerned, and pretending that he was in search of something.
I beat him to it, and before he could say anything, I asked if he had a dollar, I could borrow.
“Uh..ummm…I…I…ummm.” Was all he could muster.
I looked at him and said,” _, dude, you owe me more than a dollar, and with interest, you should be paying me back for a few huge meals! I see that you still depend on your mom for money. How much did she shortchange you this time?” His mom quickly answered,” _, who is your friend who seems to think you owe him money? I’ve always given you enough, what’s he talking about?!”
I want to say that this reunion story ended well, but that would be a lie. The rest of the guys who knew him came to my rescue. They started spilling the beans. He did not only have enough every day to sustain his milk habit. He also had a hardworking dad who was never around because he was working hard to earn a living for his family. We all thought he came from a single mom’s house!

“12 When the righteous triumph, there is great glory,but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.”— PROVERBS 28:12

The moral to the story is this, how many Propositions and Measures have been voted in the last 50 years?
And why does the State of California have such money woes?

“Where are the monies from our taxes? Where are the funds for our schools?“

“The lottery was supposed to alleviate money woes for our education system. Yet, Sacramento is still trying to pass or swindle the people of California from our hard-earned money.”

The California Lotto has not given much to schools. The amount the Lotto makes, versus the amount that actually gets into schools, is just a fraction of the total amount they earn from people who want the overnight success of dreams coming true.
The original mandate for the Lotto was to give 34 cents per every dollar to California schools. In 2019 the Californian Lottery’s revenues were roughly 7 billion dollars, of which 2 billion went to schools.
You would think 2 billion was the right amount, but this could be more. It certainly is not the 34 cents on the dollar initially sold to voters.

“I also want to know the who, what,, when & where the funds are being used for.”

I have included links of my research, but this still doesn’t scratch the surface of whY the State of California wants to repeal Prop 13.
Since Prop 13 was voted in by Californians to keep our property taxes low. This highly deceitful and misleading Prop 13 being sold to us is another way of voters and people, in general, getting ripped off.
Like my elementary school friend always asking to borrow money from everyone, the State of California is selling us Propositions and State Measures that take a few dollars here and there. The elected officials seem to ever be asking, and we seem to never be finding out why they need so much of our hard-earned money.
Propositions and Measures, for the most part, should never be accepted as part of the norm. They should be profusely rejected to send California and Washington DC a message—We, the People, will no longer acquiesce to your greedy and needy infant ways of crying for more.

” 16 A leader who lacks judgment is also a great oppressor, but he who hates dishonest profit will prolong his days.” — PROVERBS 28:16

In my next blog, I want to know where the billions of dollars that have disappeared from our State Capitol gone. How can billions of dollars disappear?

Give More, Teach More, Learn Twice as much…. |Letters To My Kids Series

“I can do all this through Christ who gives me strength”— Paul to the Philippians

Kids,

When I was in seventh grade, I learned a few valuable lessons. My dad asked me to go with him during the week on my summer vacation. He told me he would pay me better than mowing lawns and delivering the newspapers like I had in the past. I had all this crazy energy that needed to be taken care of. Playing sports always helped. I would play after work.
Working 40 hour weeks, was to me, a right of passage. Like my ancestral forefathers, I would prove my right of passage, not adulthood. Daily, I would get up at 4:45 in the morning. Anticipating my dad waking up and as soon as I heard him, I would rush to get ready. I never had a problem waking up in the wee hours, so this was just second nature.
Now here’s the lesson I want to pass on to you.

You give to life more than you take, always give more, and when you think you’ve given all you have, reach into your souls and give more!

“Never be a taker. Be a giver. I have found that when you give to life, life has a way of giving back more.
I have also seen what happens when you take from life. Some people take from life more than they give.”

I saw this first hand when my dad was a foreman, later on in late teen life. I became an apprentice, yet my dad would give me challenges. I was doing things a journeyman would do. I enjoyed the challenges since I wanted to learn as much and absorb as much as possible.

This is another lesson to you, always learn twice as much as you teach. Never get stuck on thinking that you have learned enough. Because the day you think you know everything, is the minute that you stop hearing God, since He sends people to teach us daily, along with His word.
Back to my story…

As I worked, I remembered wanting to be better than I was the day before. Whatever mistakes I made in the past, I would use it to get better. I learned this playing sports. This, I applied in everything I did.

***Don’t blend in! Be courageous!***
Giphy

Here’s the moral to this story—there were men twice my age who were happy getting paid journeymen wages, but would ask my dad if they could sand the counter pieces which, when done, would be shipped to some of the hotels all over the west. I found this so peculiar that after seeing this going on a while, I asked my dad why they weren’t doing more specialized things, like staining or finish spraying the counters. My dad looked at me and said, “They don’t want to do it because they’re afraid of ruining the finished product.”

I was stunned, I was in my teens, and my dad had given me that responsibility. I had no idea that an apprentice wasn’t even allowed to go into the spray finishing booth, let alone grab the spray gun and gently move from side to side with gentle fluidity, so the clear spray did not under or over coat the finished counter wood pieces. I was doing what I had seen my dad do. I learned from observing.

But the thing I learned that summer vacation was that you give more to this life than you take. You learn more from life than you take.

Always remember that what you give to life, is what you will take in life. The more vigorously you give, the more intensely vibrant your life will be. I’m not talking about everything being perfect and rosy, because life brings tough lessons your way. This is for us to learn and pass on to others.

***Get out of your comfort zone***!
***Giphy***

Don’t be like those journeymen who were too afraid to step out of their comfort zones, but did not mind getting paid as specialized experts! These people took from life more than they gave at work. And one thing I have experienced, whatever a person does at work, they will also do in their personal lives.

***Don’t be afraid to step out in life***
***Giphy***

The last thing, always remember that God has given you unique and personal gifts for you to take on in life. Don’t be afraid to step out in life, away from where you find yourselves comfortable. When you have reached the end of the line of your comfort zone, step over that line and start learning again. Give more, teach more, learn twice as much.
You give more of yourself to all because God gave Himself entirely for all…

As Americans go out and vote, I would like to make my case for the unborn. There is so much hate and division these days. People on both sides passionately fighting their case for or against the other.

I will not fight my case, since my case has already been made for me in:

The Bible

The Hippocratic Oath

The Nightingale Pledge

The Magna Carta (imperfect as it was)

***Courtesy of British Library***
***Full Text Here***

The Mayflower Compact

The Declaration of Independence

The Constitution

All of these documents which changed the world, have one thing in common. They state that all people have certain rights.

All means exactly what it says, all. Let me say this again, all means all.

Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines all as—

a: the whole amount, quantity, or extent of

b: as much as possible

2: every member or individual component of

3: the whole number or sum of

So you see, if we believe what the Bible says, if we believe in the Laws of God, and natural laws of people. If we adhere to the upkeep of the Constitution, then we must vote that way.

“We can’t get angry when authorities are perceived to violate people’s rights in this country, and then go and force the execution of innocents and their natural God-given rights to live! It is not either or!“

It doesn’t and shouldn’t work this way. Either all lives matter, or no lives matter. It can’t be on ethnicity or another. This would be unnaturally making one group of people less than the other groups; and this would be oppression at it’s most heinous manner! Infants inside the womb have as much right to live and matter, as we do.

Do you ever notice that the people who are for the killing of babies in the womb are themseLves alive to say this?! Yet are the same ones who want peace on earth, no convicted murders to be executed & will go to great lengths to save endangered animals!

All this to say, go out and vote. Don’t vote by the way you feel, vote by the morals you have. Vote the way God intended. There is no way that God will allow the murder of His innocent babies, whether in the womb or out. He tells us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. That we are wondrous works of art which He has fathomed into creatures that have created beautiful works of art and symphonic tunes that even the angels glorify God and wonder why He has given people the amazing talents. These same angels also wonder how God has give us the right to be free and hold so much importance in His eyes.

This includes the babies who are in their mother’s wombs. This is highly important to note, the next time you go out and vote, remember that you and I, and the unborn, are wondrous to God. And in His eyes, all lives matter. Vote for life and not death. How? By electing officials who are pro-life, and by getting rid of those who kill life and the rights of those who are defenseless…

Happy Valentine’s Year! |Valentine’s Day 2020

Today is a special day. No, not the commercialized version, and not the overwhelmingly fantasized version where both men and women become so enamored with this day, that they forget their loved one.

This dedication is to my wife. She is an amazing woman who selflessly gives all who know her an extraordinary kindness that is very rare nowadays.

“I will be spending time with her as we always do. Because 1 day cannot make up for the other 364 days.“

Today is a day to acknowledge the incredibleness of it all. But, she knows that today is just a cherry on top of the blessed life we’ve had. Our Valentines are not the gifts or cards, they are the living testimonies walking around that we produced with the love of Christ and also, the love and sacrifice of the real Valentine…So here’s to another blessed year to my wife and me.

“It was around this time almost a decade ago I found out I had kidney cancer. So, my being here is genuinely added blessings. “

LORD willing, He gives me many more Valentine days because it would mean that I got to spend the other 364 days times the years, with my wife. And that is more special than 1 day out of the year…

Happy Valentines Year!

Did you watch the Halftime show?! |NFL Superbowl LIV

REGARDING THE HALFTIME SHOW

—You can’t complain about something if you keep going back to it or rebuying their brand. If the thing is making you angry, get rid of it once and for all!

—The NFL is a brand. When you stop watching & buying that brand, they will stop showing whatever they want & start listening to you, the customer!

—It is this simple. Stand your ground, make a commitment to stop watching their manure. The more fans they lose, the faster they will go back to family-friendly halftime shows.

—The NFL is rotting from the inside. It is a symptom of what’s going on in our society.

Either society changes it, or it will change society.

—If you are a Christian and don’t have a problem with your kids or grandkids watching halftime shows the NFL has put out, don’t be surprised when your children start acting and dressing like those people you so joyfully and nonchalantly were watching.

—Before you say anything, yes, I have watched stuff on TV I shouldn’t have. Yes, I have watched Super halftime shows, and yes, I must admit, I knew they were terrible to watch. That is why I stopped watching my favorite team, the Oakland Raiders. I was five or six when I saw the great Raider teams of the 70s and 80s.

I could name any player on those teams, my wife and I went to the games at the Coliseum. Until I could no longer take my family because it was no longer safe. I watched a poor Seahawks fan get jumped by Raider fans, taking their frustration out on him for losing to the Patriots in the playoffs. I must admit, it was a few years later that I made a commitment to no longer watch my team. But this incident was just one reason.

——The Raider Organization is like the adulterous wife who leaves her blue-collar working husband. Escapes during the night to Los Angeles to be with her sun-drenched and cool actor lover. Only to get tired of the lover and go back to her blue-collar working husband for a short while. The same adulterous hoochie-mama then decides she’s bored and tired of her ordinary and boring life, so she sells herself out to a pimp in Vegas, searching for a fast and easy life of money, power and excitement! Or like the cheating husband who decides the wife of his youth who has been by his side all these years, working extremely long hours to help with all the bills, suddenly leaves her for a younger more glamorous gal down in LA. Since the low-life is always using up the women he’s with, he decides to go back to his wife so she can take care of all his bills. Once the bills are paid up, he decides to go to Vegas, because in the cheater’s words,” What happens in Vegas, stays in sin town.”

—So you see, when I tell you that you have to make a decision of whether you are finally fed up with watching the NFL do whatever it wants and pander to whomever it wants, without regard to the customer-viewer, you. And you definitely want to do something about it, it’s pretty simple, stop watching, buying, talking about your favorite NFL team. Stop watching the playoffs and the Super Bowl. I did with the Raider organization. I decided to drive away and leave them behind, looking in the rear view mirror just once, and never looking back!

Let the NFL know in actions and not words.

Most people will keep complaining about what’s going on on TV and sports but are very unwilling to shut down their cable service. They are reluctant to stop buying their favorite team merchandise.

Then and only then will the NFL stop their ways. But until people make up their minds to stop watching and supporting the NFL, we will continue to see and complain about whether so and so singer had a wardrobe malfunction, or such and such player knelt during the anthem.

As for me and my house, we stopped complaining and ceased buying our team merchandise and watching NFL teams on TV anymore.

I know we are only one family, but my conscience is at peace. Those people who want to continue attending and rooting for their team have every right to do so…just like those players who want to kneel or protest other things…this is their God-given right to do so.

I will not be watching and supporting the NFL. That is my God-given right to do so. When enough people stop watching and paying, then and only then will the NFL have to change halftime…They can have whatever commercials and halftime shows they want. Who cares…

The State of the Union |Letters To My Kids Series PT II~Voting 2020

GETTING READY TO Vote? Let’s Change the country from within too!

Kids,

As you have seen, the country is in trouble. It’s not dead yet, but you must be the generation to change things.

The first thing you must change is the way this society views faith in God. You notice I did not say religion? There’s a reason for this.

—You see religion, is an external and outward sign that you acknowledge God.

—But then, religion is something you do on your own.

—Religion tells God that you are doing your best to get right with Him.

—Religion is going through the motions of earning your way into being rewarded. Or doing community service in order to get into heaven.

—Religion is what people see that you do outwardly.

—Religion is doing things your own way!

—Faith, on the other hand, is the confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see ( Hebrews 11:1 ).

—Faith is a personal relationship with God through Jesus, our LORD and Savior which must be professed and lived ( Matthew 10:32; Acts 16:31; Romans 10:9-11).

—Faith can’t be worked for ( Galatians 2:16; Philippians 3:9; Ephesians 2:8-9 ) but freely given by the work of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross (Read all of Isaiah 53, Isaiah 53:11; Matthew 20:28; Romans 3:24; Ephesians 1:7 ).

—Faith is shared by teaching others about God’s love and loving others ( Matthew 28:19; John 13:34; John 15:12; John 15:17; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:38; Acts 14:21 ).

—Faith knows that whatever is going on in this world, God has it covered and planned for His goodwill ( Proverbs 3:5-6; Matthew 6:25-34; Philippians 4:6 ), so we are not to worry what’s going on, God will take care of it.

—Faith is letting go of things, and acknowledging Jesus is the Way, Truth, and Life. We become second and do things His way because the world is perilous, Jesus leads us through the narrow paths to safety ( Isaiah 35:8; Proverbs 16:25; Matthew 7:14; Luke 13:24; John 14:6 ).

Kids, you must point others to Jesus! Teach them about His love. Teach them to lead others to Him! Show them the way!

Not by being super perfect, but by showing them God’s love, grace, and mercy. No one is perfect, everyone needs Jesus. No one can try to be perfect, they will all fail, that’s religion.
But everyone can call out to God to save them, that’s God’s gift through His Son Jesus, that is salvation…and everyone who has faith in God’s Son can be saved…that is faith!

The State of this Union must be brought back to unity!
Go out there and change this country one person at a time…no matter who is in charge, God will always reign!

If you don’t know how to have faith, please click the links below to find out. Then go and change your community, your county, your state, your country and the world!:

Always Vote your Values no matter what others say~Letters to my Kids |Voting 2020

One of the most important things I can teach you kids, is about this country and it’s greatness. Its past is not perfect, yet millions are still trying to get here legally and illegally every year for the last 200+ years.

Kids, you see, the true measure of a great & free country is the amount of people from all over the world trying to get to its shores! Don’t allow the lies of people to ever change this truth. I come from a family of immigrants who owe so much to this country. I know the difference from a corrupt and wicked government, and this country. This is still a land of opportunity and greatness. Anyone can come here to work hard and succeed. You’ve heard the recent news and how bad the world is becoming. Things have been turned upside down by a select fanatical few, who make up about 1-2% of the population in every capacity of life (Matthew 24:6-8).

| These are the people who need to be replaced by those who want the good of this country. It will not happen fast, but if you become students of God’s word, you will know whom to pick to represent your values.

—You have the very few and powerful rich who are dictating what they want this world to be. Some of these people have forgotten where they came from. These represented officials are now dictating or trying to force who gets to live and die based on the world’s population. Some have become rich by creating businesses that aren’t really physically there. It is all a virtual reality, an illusion coming from a computer screen. It is all fake electronic stuff, yet, they think that they live in a real world where they have to get up and go to work, like the rest of us (Luke 12:15–16 ).

—You have another demographic, of a small minority of people who want the whole world to cater to their way of life and accept it.

| I have no problems with people wanting to be treated like everyone else, we are to love all people no matter their way of life. Let me be clear on this, never ever mistreat or persecute others for their lifestyle or way of thinking. We are to lead all to Christ, because we are sinners saved by Christ’s grace and mercy.

Except for the fact that now, this small percentage, are trampling on my God-given natural rights by getting their way in our educational systems. Most of this percentage of the population have no children, but want our children and any future generation to be taught things that kids don’t need to know, nor understand at that age.

This is where I draw a line in the sand on— As you get older, do not allow one percentage or group of people to dictate to the rest of the majority.

It is this simple. Stand your ground, and move with others who have their morals grounded and rooted in Christ and are living examples of this (Proverbs 13:20). They are not perfect people, but they will adhere to doing what the Bible says to do, and that’s to love God with everything you have and to love others like you love yourselves. In a sense, you would never get a knife and stab yourself or get a bat and beat yourself. You would nourish your bodies and do your best to keep healthy. That is what God wants in our lives, to connect in all ways with Him, and He will, in turn, love us in such a balanced way, that we will strive to do our best in everything we do. Not because we need to, but because we want to.

On my next letter to you, I will explain what has been taught in the Bible and where we stand on various things in life, because after all, all life matters no matter how small or great it is…..

If you want to know how to vote on the importance of all lives mattering, keeping governement and corporations from getting too intrusive, or if you are simply just too tired of what has been going on in Washington DC lately, I urge you to register to vote, and get to know the only One that can Change kings, rulers, governments and nations:

A sudden loss & Crash in the valley—ETERNALLY LOST IN A MOMENT IN HISTORY.

Yesterday was tragic. I heard of a helicopter crash near a valley…

The whole world mourned…The day was filled with an athlete whose status was legendary. This man among men who inspired so many to play a game so popular. Thousands gathered at the house he built to light candles and sing of his glory.

Inside, a worldly “Whose-Who” gathered and spoke of the loss of this man and his daughter… How they would forever be remembered.

His daughter, filled with hopes and dreams, just starting. Her life in a moment fleeting.

Others on the plane who may not have his name, but still, their names will be retained.

All the families will be grief-afflicted. The void they left will be much suffering. Eternally lost in a moment in history.

These lives wasted, all of them. There will be mourning still today, tomorrow, and forever. Millions will remember.

Another sorrowful crash, about 7,600 miles away. Very little news and mourning.

No candles laid at the site where those heroes lay. 30 marines and 1 sailor will forever there stay.

Eternally lost in a moment in history. The names of those who perished will only be known from families whom they cherished.

These young people answered the call to defend. Their lives had hopes and dreams to tend.

They didn’t hold a ball or shoot from 3 point range, no one came to mourn there, it is strange.

That we should regard one crash over another. Even though both losses should cut our hearts asunder.

Both crashes make me think. Of all the lives that have gone extinct. From the star athlete to his daughter. To those who gave everything of themselves because country mattered.

I am saddened and in mourning. For both choppers and their calamities.

Especially those who defended us for such poor salaries. Leaving homes, comforts, and their families.

May we never forget the famous athlete and his daughter. May we pray for the families that went down near The Valley.

But, and I don’t say this lightly. May we never ever take those young men in the other death valley. Whose lives are in constant threat thousands of miles away, that is their reality…

Yesterday was tragic. I heard of a helicopter crash near a valley….I mourened for all who were lost. Eternally lost in a moment in history.

Be Right With God—Be right with Your 1st Ministry |Leadership 101

The Above is still true today as it was long ago and will be in the future…

We are to teach and lead our wives & children to Christ. This is the ultimate goal in life.

Imagine a mob of 100 people going around your neighborhood. They have one thing in mind—to break into all the houses, including yours.

You hear the noise in your home and the next-door neighbors. You have your wife call 911. Will you go and help your neighbor and leave your wife and kids to fend for themselves?

Or will you grab your gun, bat, knife, etc., have your wife call 911 and then go and defend your family?

I know that you’re smirking and saying, “Oh, you poor soul….ha ha ha, Oscar, of course, I’ll defend my house! What fool would not!

I say, good for you. I know you would defend your house and everyone in it. But why then, are you not having the same fervor with their spiritual walk?

“Well, uh…what do you mean?!”

Does the Bible say in Deuteronomy 6:1-9 to:

—Love and obey God with everything you have, then go and share that to your co-workers?….NO

Love and obey God with everything you have, then go and share that to the children in Manacutta, Babylonia (not a real place)?….No

—Love and obey God with everything you have, then go and share it with your neighbors?….No

TEACH OUR CHILDREN AND THEN community

Community is not just the church community. Our faith is at its strongest when we are discipling and sharing the gospel. Our faith has become stagnant when all we do is go into a building and fellowship together.

Eat, drink (water for me and soda or juice for anyone else), go to functions together, have home fellowships together, and go out together. Does that sound about right? Please don’t get me wrong. Fellowship is vital for our spiritual health. But so is discipling and sharing the gospel. That is what we are to be doing.

Going out into the world and making disciples of all nations…we live in a part of the country where so many nationalities are living together. We don’t have to hop on a plane to make disciples of all nations. America is the land where all countries come to live and thrive in.….All the nations are here!

All this to say, if you are having problems with your spouse, stop everything you’re doing and go and fix the problem, the church will be there when you’ve won her over.

If your spouse and kids don’t want to go to church, ask yourself:

—Are they that rebellious to God?

—Or are they tired of seeing you at church every moment of the week, instead of being at home taking care of your family duties?

If you find yourself at a church study here, a church function here, a cleaning day there, women’s gathering here, a special church function over there…and you are not in full-time ministry, stop it! Then you wonder why your spouse and kids are so antichurch. They don’t want that kind of Christianity.

Go and spend some time with your kids. Talk to them. Communicate with them like you do to people at church. Love your spouse and family, disciple them. And when they start asking to go to church with you and mean it, be glad that you left the ninety-nine and went to get your lost little sheep ( Matthew 18:12 ).

There are too many divorces and children going by the wayside because we did not stop everything we were doing at church to go and fix the problems at home (Matthew 5:24, Mark 11:25 ). God and your church building will be waiting for you after you make things right in your personal life. Then and only then will God truly bless your walk…

The Jews Sir, The Jews! |2020 & PROPHETIC MURMURINGS PT. IV

Today I want to highlight the country that has been involved in history throughout, well, history. Without this small but not insignificant country, we would not have news about the Middle East now. Imagine all the news and social media organizations not having enough to talk about except maybe the price of crude oil.

We would not have Christians, the Bible, evil dictators & supremicists like Hitler blaming the Jewish people for their economies etc..

This tiny nation-state is surrounded by so many people who want it to disappear. A land the size of the state of New Jersey. The only democracy in the Middle East. That’s right, the only one. This country, whose Arab population is free to vote, live, and thrive. Of the 9.1 million people living in this tiny country, 20% are Arab Israelis.

Israel, whose people came to claim their land back after being dispersed for two-thousand years. Yes, that is correct. World History books and the internet are inundated with misleading information. Israel is not an occupying force. It is not a people who invaded and took over a land that wasn’t theirs. It is a people who have suffered in the hands of so many. Yet, it has survived the onslaught of persecution throughout its history to tell a story.

Excavation discoveries are a common thing which show Israel’s claim to the land, not any other people

The history of Israel is quite the opposite of what a percentage of the world’s population will tell you. The excavations alone in the last 100 years have proven much for the legitimacy of Israel being the rightful heirs to the land (see weblinks below). This ancient country spanning almost 3,500 years back, regained their independence officially in 1948. Nearly 2,000 years after being dispersed throughout the world, losing their land, and almost losing their language. One thing they did not lose was their identity as a people.

I know why Israel is alive and well. The Jews are here as a testament to God’s Providence. I know it’s not a word used anymore. Nor is this comment popular with today’s younger generation who have been indoctrinated by their extreme-left-leaning-politically-correct-Israel-hating college Professors at universities, all over this country, thanks to mine and your tax dollars, you’re unwelcome.

All this to say, Israel is, and will be in their land whether, Russia, Turkey, Iran, Europe, the Arab countries or anyone else wish otherwise. God has promised this… and I don’t bet against god ever!

So we are seeing an unholy union of countries who have the military might, and will one day march towards Israel, as they are living peacefully and going about their business. This unholy alliance will seek to destroy it, but will be demolished by A Supernatural Power…God…more to come on this…

3 things about these baseball scandals |True Sports Fans

***YNWA***
**Artist:** **Liverpool FC Soccer Songs**
**Album:** **Liverpool FC Anthology II**

As an #LFC (Liverpool Football Club) fan, I take the good with the bad that comes my way. I have been doing this since the late 70s. I have learned a few things about ups and downs, or shall I say, Mountaintop experiences and deep Valley Lows with this team. There was no American Professional Soccer league, so my friends and I would follow teams from England, Spain, Italy, and Germany. But the passion of the Liverpool fans won me over. Watching the games in black and white TV, yes, black and white with lines moving up the screen! I was mesmerized by the way the team played, the fans sang, and boy did they sing. Nothing anywhere else was like it. Both team and fans were at the top of their game. Then the 90s came, and we would finish 2nd. The winning was there but nothing like the 60s and 70s of the glory of LFC. Yet, not one fan blamed players or their team. They sang— You’ll Never Walk Alone at every game, they felt for the losses along with the players. Still, they sang and praised the team.

Fast forward to now, the team is the best in the world. LFC have won the Club World Championship. They are the reigning European Champions, and they are close to winning the English title for the first time in 30 years. Yet, the fans have and will always be the same with their team—They will sing and cheer like always, win or lose.

This is why I respect and love that team. Manchester City, the reigning champions in England have a fan base that is, well, like the UCLA Bruin fans. If you’ve ever been to a Bruin football game at the Rose Bowl, you know exactly what I am talking about. Sure they cheer and love their team, but it’s not really from the heart.

—The LA #DODGERS

The same thing could be said about my Dodgers. They haven’t won a World Series since 1988. Almost as bad as Liverpool, except, there is a massive gap of a difference with the fan base. One team is world-renowned and loved by their fans all over the world. Yes, it’s a different sport, and yes, different countries. But the love of Liverpool fans towards their team is unmatched in all of sports.

Our Dodger fan base is like that of a spoiled brat who’s been given so much by their parents. Toy after toy, good experience after good experience, and yet, the spoiled brat wants more, and when this brat doesn’t get more, they start whining and complaining and cussing at the parents!
I still hear the resounding negative comments for the Dodger Pitchers.

Is this what we fans are about!?

The one player who took a significant portion of the angry brunt was Clayton Kershaw. The guy that has won Cy Young and MVP awards and a big part of the reason why we have been in the postseason so much these past years. Let alone what he and his wife do for the community in their personal time. A man who has great faith in God and is one of the good things in baseball. Yet, the spoiled brat base would have its angry verbal lynching against this honorable man. Without having any regard to the person or persons, everyone was lambasting. Especially after hearing of what the Astro’s and Red Sox did…

—WHAT I ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO

Be a fan that should the tables be turned around at work or you playing a sport, could empathize with those ballplayers. Yes, they make millions, and yes, they need to perform. But when cheating happens, everything is off the tables.

—THE GOOD

The things that we love about Kershaw, having integrity, and being honest… are the same things that during this cheating scandal, most fans were angry and wanted him out.

—THE BAD

Is this what people want their kids to learn? That playing with honor and integrity even when losing is for chokers, losers, and suckers?
First thing first–to all my fellow Dodger fans who spoke so much smack about them these last few years— Chokers, losers, can’t close- etc.…

—THE UGLY

I brought this up a while ago. People can’t leave a stinking trail unless there putrid.
Some of the players in the Astros stunk big time away from home.
Then, by supernatural forces only beholden to them, they were extraordinary playing their home games. Yes, there is a home-field advantage but to be that inconsistent, should’ve-could’ve-would’ve smelled of rotten feces.

—THE APOLOGY

To my fellow fans, you know who you are, go and apologize to Kershaw and the rest of the gang! Then stop talking so much putridness about the team that you follow. It’s okay to be disappointed, but it’s not okay to do it the way a whole lot of you did…

—THE REWARD

If this was any other type of contest or business— the 2nd place person would take the title. Not because they won it outright but because the Dodgers made it to the World Series. And both times, they played the right way while the other teams played with an Ace in their sleeves.
Whenever an Olympian is caught cheating, the Silver medalist gets the gold. Whenever a high school team cheats, they forfeit everything, the games they cheated in, and if they won any championships, they default, and the 2nd place team gets the championship.
In business, if a company is caught doing unscrupulous things, they are investigated, their stock falls, and the strongest or 2nd place competitor gets the customers.

The Dodgers, by their own hard work, should get the World Series Champions titles. It’s the right thing to do.

If you think that I am saying this because I’m a Dodger fan, you are wrong. Those that know me now that I would do this even if it meant the Giants were the ones who lost because the American League team was caught cheating against them in the World Series. This is the equivalent of ManU winning instead of Liverpool. Or the Celtics beating the Lakers…you get what I’m trying to say.
So to all my fellow Dodger fans, please stop whining when we don’t win. The Dodgers are winners. They are the National Team of the decade. They made it to the best of the Big Show but were beat by the Big Faux Teams of Boston and Houston.
That in itself makes my Dodgers Winners…

“Out Of The Far North” |2020 & PROPHETIC MURMURINGS PT.III

To some this may be a long post. If you are one of those people, scroll to the Short Explanation Part below. The first section is the research I did to get my answers to Ezekiel 38:1-6 section. If you want to know where I got my information, please read from the beginning:

In my last post, I mentioned that there is a league of nations who are or will be plotting to invade Israel. I know that many countries have tried and failed. These same countries have also been talking about destroying Israel once and for all.

One of these nations working behind the scenes is Russia. I understand that we are hearing rumors of wars coming from Iran, which is the old Persian Empire in the Bible. Turkey has also been linked to pushing their former Ottoman Empire and bringing it back to life. ISIS was calling for a Middle East Caliphate spanning most of the old Ottoman Empire with some African nations added. Yet, all of these want-to-be players would not be able to do things without Russian approval.

So now we are back to what I mentioned in my previous post, where God mentions Russia specifically, along with Iran, Turkey, Libya, and a country or region in the Nile River area, would be headed by the Prince of Russia and try to invade the land of Israel.

We start with this essential nation since God mentioned Russia over 2,600 years ago. As I said in my previous post, let the number of years sink in a bit. Then allow yourself to think about Russia not even being around when God said to Ezekiel to jot down the prophecy regarding this nation.

Now to break up the word of God:

1. God tells Ezekiel to prophecy against the future land or kingdom or nation of Russia and its Prince or Leader. When God says to prophesy against someone or some country, this is not a good thing. Especially when a person or nation has not even been born yet!

2. God is specific to His condemnation:

—It has to be Gog of the land of Magog. The Chief Prince of Meshech and Tubal—Ezekiel 38 verses 1-2

—Now, where is this Gog from the land of Magog, and Meshech and Tubal?

—Well, we know from the Strong’s Concordance that Gog #H1463 is:

—of the area of Magog, #H4031 are from people who were descendants of Japheth,

—who originated from Mountainous region between Cappadocia and Media and kept moving Northward.

—There is some debate about whether the Hebrew word Rosh means Russia or Head or Prince. Modern scholars believe it does not say that Rosh means Russia. I will not debate this since it really doesn’t matter. Because we can get our compass from the word of God and through Historians and scholars.

—The Greeks originally called them Moschi( Μοσχοι ), the Assyrians called them Mušku, Muški. Meshak= proper name, of a people the Moschi (Greek Μοσχοι, see below; Assyrian Mušku, Muški. But most peoples around the area of the Black Sea ( modern-day Russia ) are correlated with the modern people of Russia.

This information is in the Strong’s Lexicon #H4902 for anyone to see.

Now for the historical part:

JV MaGee on Russia:

“When Ivan IV( Ivan the Terrible ) of Russia took the Muscovite throne in 1533, he took the name Czar, [or Caesar for those of us who know the Roman Empire]. Now muscovite is the name of those in and around the Russian city of Moscow.”—Excerpt from JV McGee, quoting Bishop Lowther-Thru the Bible Commentary, Volumes 1-5: Genesis through Revelation (p. 2020). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.))

Josephus, Antiquities 1:6:

““For Gomer founded those whom the Greeks now call Galatians, [Galls,] but were then called Gomerites…

Magog founded those that from him were named Magogites, but who are by the Greeks called Scythians. Now, as to Javan and Madai, the sons of Japheth; from Madai came the Madeans, who are called Medes, by the Greeks; but from Javan, Ionia, and all the Grecians, are derived. Thobel ( Tubal ) founded the Thobelites, who are now called Iberes; and the Mosocheni were founded by Mosoch ( Meshech ); now they are Cappadocians””—Excerpt From: Flavius Josephus. “Antiquities of the Jews 1:6:.” Apple Books.

The above information is a bit to take in. So many names to go through. So I have highlighted the names that may seem familiar to you:

Muscovite, MOSCOW

Gomer, Gomerites

Magog, Magogites, Scythians

Thobel, Thobelites, called Iberes or Iberians. Or Tubal.

Mosoch, Mosocheni, as in Meshech—Cappadocians. Or peoples who lived in and around the Black Sea.

—All sons of Japheth, Noah’s son.

SHORT EXPLANATION

All this to say, Russia and its people are in alliance with Turkey, Syria, and Iran today. This is not new, of course, but the coalition is more in-depth than what most people in modern times realize. You see, all of these countries are connected through Japheth initially. Their culture, traditions, and bloodlines run through one person. Russia’s ( Gog of Magog, Meshech, and Tubal ) connection will eventually force it to get behind Iran ( Persia ), Turkey ( Gomer and the peoples who migrated through Eastern Europe ), and fight their enemies. Iran and Turkey, along with the rest of the Muslim world, are sworn enemies of a tiny country whose population worldwide is a little over 15 million people. Russia has over 146 million people. Muslim population is over 1 billion. This figure would be staggering and overwhelming to most people.

Israel’s sworn enemies surround this little country. The forces against them seem unstoppable if these countries ever do invade.

Yet, God has sworn, that Russia and her allies will never beat Israel. He said this over 2,600 years ago, and this will still be true the day they invade…or try to invade.

I can’t tell you when this battle will take place. I don’t know if it will be the Battle of Armageddon, or if it will be before the Christian world is translated with their LORD and Savior Jesus. This whole Rapture thing is quite unbelievable to me, and for most folks, it is impossible.

All I can say is this, if I had all the answers, then God would not be a miracle worker. I know and honestly believe that this event I call the Great Awakening will happen. I don’t know when, even if it is in my lifetime. I don’t care. My job is threefold—

To be expecting it, to share the news of the hope of this expectation, and to teach about it.

So I will look up, talk it up, and point it up!

Now that we have placed Russia and the Ezekiel 38 and 39 Prophecy, my next post is about the rest of the players and the ultimate showdown with God. You notice I said God and not the nation of Israel? Russia and Iran, along with the rest of the countries in their alliance, will invade Israel, what they will be doing is rebelling against God and not Israel. More to come on this in the next few posts.

If the God of the Bible can predict events this perfectly almost 3,000 years before they happen, He can connect back with you now. Ask Him to reconnect with you. Here’s how:

IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT! |2020 & PROPHETIC MURMURINGS Pt.II

“It’s Friday the 10 of January. The world has not ended. I wanted to wait to write about this post to calmly explain what’s going on in the world.“

There are so many people and pastors who are giving Prophecy Updates to their congregations. I believe that is a prudent and informative way of passing on answers to hard-hitting questions that everyone is sending to their churches. People want answers to this chaos because of old events between the US and Russia. Yes, I said Russia, not Iran; I’ll explain more about this in a bit.

“One thing I don’t want to do is sensationalize reality. I’ll leave that to the News & Social Media outlets!”

There are too many people in the news and social media outlets doing this already. Most are blaming the President of this country and going easy on Iran, forgetting that Iran has always been “involved” in US affairs.

We can’t forget the way the General who was just killed in an airstrike, was one of the orchestrators of the ‘79 Iranian Hostage takeover of the US Embassy in Tehran. The news media forgets this “small, insignificant” event when reporting this man’s death while their eyes are tearing up reading the teleprompters. Again, like I said in my previous post, do your research before calling this man’s death an act of terrorism.

“As much as I dislike taking human lives in war, this is one life that the world, including Iranian citizens, will not miss.“

That TV news coverage where thousands of mourners were crying out loud, screaming for the cameras. I am not saying that all those in the funeral procession were faking it. But it makes me wonder how many of them were taken off the streets and paid to do this. Just like our famous dictators in Venezuela do for TV viewer’s sake.
All this to say—I don’t have all the answers, neither do the rest of the people you see on TV or social media.

“But, I do know who has all the answers. Some of you have been lifelong skeptics of the Bible, but there is no other book that has had more predictions fulfilled than this incredible Book.“

The Bible tells us specifically about this period in time. We can start with what some people at one point or another have looked around for—What Christians call The Last Days…

The Ezekiel 38 and 39 Chapters were written about 2,600 years ago. Please take a moment to take this number in. That is an incredible amount of time. Most of modern Europe was not in the map when these prophecies were written down.

***Map of Russia–Israel circled courtesy of Wiki p edia***

I will cover the names of the main players of the Last Days from Ezekiel 38 and 39 today and break each down into detail in the next posts:

1. RUSSIA= Ezekiel chapter 38 verses 1-4: Gog, Magog, Meshech, Tubal….

“The nation of Russia was not around at the time of this prophecy. Again, let this sink in a bit.“

2. Persia, Cush and Put= Iran, Egypt-or Ethiopia or one of the Nile River countries. Sudan and Kenya are also connected to the Nile river, and Lybia. Ezekiel chapter 38 verse 5.

3. Gomer and The House of Togarmah= are equated with the peoples of the land around modern day Turkey (Cappadocia).

Amazing how 2,600 years later, these same modern day peoples, are connected to an alliance whose goal is to get rid of Israel.

Happy New Year—Please Fasten Your Seatbelts & Remain Seated… |2020 & Prophetic Murmurings

2020 & Bible Prophecy

As I am researching scriptures for my upcoming books, I can’t help but think about the way 2020 has started. We have a President who is being impeached, but no one really knows why. Yes, he is rude and sometimes obnoxious. Yes, President Trump has “foot in mouth syndrome” most of the time. Yes, he loves the art of the deal. Yes, he acts like a typical New Yorker, or at least that’s what most people have a picture of New Yorkers. I’ve been to New York, interacted with New Yorkers, spoken to them on the streets, and they are as diverse as this country.
Now back to this nation’s critical period. This President may be all the above, I may not like what comes out of his mouth at times. But this country is better off with him there. Anyone who is unbiased about this fact can see that our country is doing much better than before.

We also have the Iranian crisis. Our appointed leaders have killed an Iranian who is hundreds of times worse than any American President or general we’ve ever had. For those that can’t see this, well, do your research. And like I said about New Yorkers, not all Iranians are evil. The fastest-growing church in the world is the Iranian Church.
Not everything is black and white, but everything is good and evil or right and wrong.
You see, we are approaching a time in history that has been written about in Prophecy. Daniel, Ezekiel, Hosea, Joel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Paul of Tarsus, and John wrote about this. Jesus also spoke of this era.

Now to the meat of the subject. I will be writing about this critical period of time that seems to be drawing closer. I will be breaking up world events that seem to be coming out of the pages of the Bible in 3-D at a faster rate than ever before.

The following scriptures are but a sample of what I will be posting throughout this year. I will also be giving current world events to show that things are happening exactly how God told us thousands of years ago. We have the prophetic writings in the Bible, so the skeptics can’t say that Christians are manipulating things and making things up.

—Isaiah wrote about a time when the world would become evil, but people would call evil good, and right, wrong ( Isaiah 5:20 ).

—Solomon wrote about people aquitting the guilty but condemning the righteous (Proverbs 17:15 ).

—Paul wrote about the last days being incredibly dangerous because of people becoming too into themselves and hating everything that is morally correct ( 2 Timothy 3).

—Ezekiel wrote about the time that Russia, and Iran would become menaces to Israel and the rest of the world. Plunging nations against nations ( Ezekiel 38 ).

—And what will happen to Gog’s (Russia’s) armies, including their allies who will march against Israel ( Ezekiel 39 )?

—Jesus spoke about the last period of time when family members would go against each other and give each other away to the governing authorities ( Matthew 24:9-14; Luke 21:10-19; Mark 13:9-13 ).

—All these things are happening before our eyes. This is nothing new for Christians. And some will ask me how I know the time is drawing near.

—The main reason why I perceive the timeline is close is that Israel is a nation once again. After two thousand years or so, after being dispersed throughout the world, the land of Israel is once again thriving ( Ezekiel 37 ). God told the prophet this would happen in the last time period of humanity.

This could be a period of two hundred more years. Or it could be as short as tomorrow. But the prophecies will be fulfilled sooner or later.

You see, Israel is the gauge for prophecies to come to fulfillment. Without Israel back in their homeland, none of these prophecies could start. So as this new year bursts into the present, I will ask you to stay tuned…

This information is not to scare but to inform people. If you haven’t committed to God, I suggest you make an informed decision to ask Him into your life:

The Journey is Yours—But Don’t Go It Alone |Christian Basics

As Christians, we must look at life as a long marathon or journey through the last stop.
When I was younger, I would run eight miles up and back with just a water break in between. I often would just run to run. I loved running. It calmed me down.
Now, as I am older, I’ll tell my wife I’m going for a walk. Sometimes, I’ll call her five miles later to pick me up. This also clears my head.
We usually get up and walk early in the morning before anything or anyone is up. This is the best time to talk about the day, our goals, and about God.

—All this to say, life is a journey. Yes, you’ve heard this before. But for those who have committed their lives to Christ, that phrase has more profound meaning.
We are to run this life race and help others in their journey along the way.

Where there are people who are running the wrong way, we are supposed to stop and offer directions. We are to get those who are lost a way back on the road.
When we see someone stumbling, or slowing down, this race is at an individual level, but it doesn’t mean we don’t stop to help and encourage others who may be slowing down or about to get off the road and stop.
Our lives are not for racing as fast as we can and taking first place.

—Our job is more of medics, who are running or jogging down the road to find and help those who are hurting, or ready to call it quits.

—Our medicine is the Word of God, and our emergency contact is God Himself. We have a 911 direct line to God anytime we need it. And unlike calling the earthly 911 here, God will not tell us that we are not supposed to call for non-emergency stuff.

You see, our journey is so much better when we have a ‘cloud of witnesses‘ running alongside us, helping us, and seeing us through. Because we will also be making sure those around us get help in getting back up or even carried through this race.

—All this to say that with 2020:

—If you are one of those who are tired or weary from last year, ask God to lighten the load you’re carrying.
—If you don’t know how to ask God, it’s as easy as going somewhere quiet, looking up and asking God to help you through this tough period in your life.
—If you are struggling financially, or with a horrible addiction, or are going through a complicated relationship issue, God will help you through. He may not take away the problem that was there already.

But, I do promise that He will make it bearable for you to see it through.

If you are a Christian who is looking at 2020 without being excited about the possibilities where God can use you to help others or get in a better relationship with Him; I ask you to stop everything you are doing and go in your prayer closet. Wherever that may be, and sit still enough to hear from Him. Be patient, ask with sincerity and humility. Then see what He guides you in.

Make this year the year that grows you spiritually, mentally and physically, in that order.

When you get right with God, everything else in this journey falls into place the way God wants it. It may not be the way you thought it would, but trusting him and surrounding yourself with other believers, will see you through this year and the next, and the next after that.

Run the race or walk it with endurance, the prize will be all those around you whom you have helped along the way…
Go get 2020! It’s yours! Because God has you covered!….

If you want to get closer to God, or want to have a personal relationship with Jesus, ask Him into your life. Comit yourself to Him today. DOn;t wai!

A Time To Start Again |Happy New Year 2020!

In my previous post I asked what kind of gift God had given you, and how you would be able to use it for God.

Since 2020 is fast approaching, I want to take time out to reflect on the things that I know most of us are thinking about:
—What is it that I want to do next year?
—What have I been wanting to get done this year that I have not done yet?
—What am I supposed do with my life?
—How do I know what I am supposed to be?
—Why have I not finished school yet?
—I want to get started on this but am not sure that I can do it.
—I am afraid to allow myself to start on _____________.
—What is it that makes you want to go and conquer?
—If you had all the money in the world, what would you do to give back to humanity?
—If you are still in school and under 21, what is it that you want to do in life?

If you are under 21 and you’re not sure what you want to do in the future, it’s okay, you don’t have to figure things out yet. But, you do have to set some goals for yourselves for next year.

—Which of the questions above are you pondering?
—Which one of the above have you procrastinated on?

Whatever questions, whatever state, whatever problems you face, whatever ideas you want to start, know this—

God has your back. He will help you get through or get started or get over it.

So make 2020 a new, refreshed, reinventive, reorganized, refreshed, resolved, readjusted, recommitted, #New Year!

Here’s to a New Year where you soar above all the problems, nuisances, & past events!

Let this New Year be where you wait on God to renew you spiritually, mentally & physically! Go get 2020 by the tail & don’t let go until you arrive at your destination!

Then Soar Like Never Before!

Happy & Blessed 2020 to all of you!

T-1 DAY ‘Til Christmas —My Gift To You Jesus Is… |CHRISTMAS 2019 SERIES

What’s your gift to the world?

Is it music— bringing joy to people’s ears and hearts?

Is it acting— in children’s plays or huge drama theatre productions, or making the elderly laugh at convalescent homes?

Is it literature— Can you write or edit plays or teachings, or emails?

Is it a soft answer—Where you bring in peace and tranquility where there is division?

Is it loving little ones during Sunday or public schools?

Is it healing hands—doctors, or nurses, or medics?

Is it ________________ (you fill in the blank)?

You fill in that answer and give it to Jesus!

Whatever your talent, make that a gift to the LORD starting this Christmas.

He will turn ten percent and invest it in others tenfold!

Remember the shepherds who were out in the cold night taking care of their flocks. These were men who were considered lowly in that culture. Yet their gift to God was tending and keeping sheep.

Why was tending these sheep so significant?

Those sheep were going to be used for the Temple of God in Jerusalem. They had to be free of blemishes, well taken care of, and clean.

God invested in their love for tending the little sacrificial sheep and gave them a concert welcoming His Son into humanity. This would be the greatest concert for the ages!

God had taken their dedication of keeping those little sheep out of harms way, tending to their every need, and doing what most Israelites would not. Yet, these shepherds’ unselfish gift to the world, was taking care of animals which was seen as unclean and lowly in their culture. But they had such a gift for tending flocks, that Bethlehem was the place to go and buy sheep worthy enough to be in the Temple of the LORD!

God honored their commitment because 30+ years later, the God-Man Jesus who was born in Bethlehem, honored by the same shepherds who were tending God’s little lambs, and renowned for their blemish free sacrificial lambs, would also be sacrificed for all of our sins…

Who doesn’t know the little drummer boy song. It’s not in the bible but it touches everyone because:

— He gives of himself.

—The only talent he has.

—With everything he has!

—What about the wise men who traveled about 500 miles to see the Baby King Jesus?

—Each of the wisemen’s gift was fit for a King.

—What have you? The LORD asks…

—God doesn’t ask you to give what you don’t have.

—He asks you to give Him a little of what He has given you and He will turn it to gold, frankincense and myrrh.

Again I ask you,

What’s your gift to the world? What is your gift to the King? Go and use it for Jesus.

You won’t regret it. Start by asking God to take your gift and use it for humanity. That’s the best gift you can give to God, your family, friends, community, and the world….

Merry Christmas! May you find your talent and start beating your drums to the tune God has inspired you to!

T-2 DAYS ‘TIL CHRISTMAS —Let Him In |CHRISTMAS 2019 SERIES

…6 While they were there, the time came for her Child to be born. 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn, a Son. She wrapped Him in swaddling cloths and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. 8 And there were shepherds residing in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks by night.…
Luke 2:7

There are just two days left for Christmas! I would ask you to make room for Jesus in your heart. Unlike the Bethlehem Inn, where the owner had no room to spare, I would encourage you to allow yourself to ask Jesus to help you.

Allow this wonderful season to bring you to a different New Year. Allow for God to change you from the inside out. Specially those people who are going to make New Year’s resolutions of taking care of their bodies and minds.

Why not first and foremost take care of your spirits? For if you are healthy in spirit, the rest of the body will folllow.

You see, you may want to get fit for next year. Or try some self-help books to guide you through the year. You may also resolve to stop eating so much junk and fast foods.

But if you don’t get right with God, none of those things on your bucket list for next year will be of any use. May today, bring you closer to connecting back with God, through the only way you can, a personal relationship with Jesus.

I know you’ve heard that there are many roads to God. Jesus makes it clear that He is the only way, truth and life (John 14:6 ). Jesus makes it a point to drive that most important fact home (John 10:9; John 11:25 ).

So I ask you again, get right with God today. Ask Jesus to help you commit to Him. Ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins. Let Jesus in and have Him dwell inside of you to get you spiritually in shape. That way, when Christmas Eve comes, you will have a smile knowing this Christmas has an extra special meaning personally!

T-3 DAYS ‘TIL CHRISTMAS—LORD Of The Odds |CHRISTMAS 2019 SERIES

I’ve been giving Bible verses, some which were written thousands of years before; some seven hundred years before Jesus was born in the small town of Bethlehem, which most likely had a population of 200-300 people living at the time. Most of the people would be related to each other somehow.

But the prophecies or predictions of Jesus fulfilling just eight of the predictions written long before He was ever born can not be replicated.

Now, these eight predictions are not the only ones that Jesus has fulfilled. There were over 300 prophecies that came to fulfillment during His First Visit or Advent.

Taking only eight of these and having just one person making them come true or fulfilling them would be so incredibly out of reach for any historical figure, that it would almost be impossible to be real. Now I can’t take credit for this. A very astute Professor named Peter Stoner calculated that the probability for a person to fulfill the Prophecies which Jesus satisfied would be 1 in 10¹⁷ or 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000. That’s one in one hundred quadrillion!

All this to say, that if One Man could fulfill these prophecies to their exactness, Jesus coming down from His throne room & becoming a baby, are a breeze.

Micah 5:2 predicted that Jesus would be born in Bethlehem. The chances of Jesus who was in Mary’s womb in the Galilee area, then having Joseph and Mary have to go to Bethlehem to be counted in a mandatory census commanded by the Roman emperor, would have the Las Vegas betting crowd in a frenzy.
Malachi 3:1 predicted that Jesus would have a messenger before His coming. In other words, somebody who would be coming before Him to make everyone aware of their sins and to get straight with God. In other words, John the Baptist.
Zechariah 9:9 predicted that the Messiah or Savior of Israel and the world would come into Jerusalem riding on a donkey. On Palm Sunday sometime around A.D. 29-33, Jesus came in riding on a donkey while the thousands were screaming ‘Hosannah’ or ‘Save us now’ as He passed by.
Zechariah 13:6 predicted that Jesus would be betrayed and killed by the actions of a friend. Judas betrayed Jesus and was paid 30 pieces of silver ( Zechariah 11:12 );
Also, another prediction was fulfilled by Jesus when they came to arrest Him in the garden, and Judas kissed Him ( Matthew 26:48 ). This kiss was a signal that Jesus would be the One they were looking for.
Zechariah 11:13 predicted that the 30 pieces of silver would buy a potters field. Sure enough, Judas was so distraught about betraying Jesus that he went into the potter’s field and killed himself ( Acts 1:18).
Isaiah 53:7 predicted that Jesus would be beaten and His beard plucked out while being cursed at, ridiculed and unjustly and illegally tried and put to death. All without opening His mouth in protest. The astonishing part is not that the predictions were 700-800 years old, but that the God-Man-Creator of everything we see, did not retaliate against His creatures. He could have called a legion of angelic beings waiting in the midst ( Matthew 26:53 ), watching what the spoiled children were doing to their Master-Lord-King-Almighty-God. Just one would have wiped out the entire Sanhedrin guard and Roman legion stationed in the Antonia Fortress ( 2 Kings 19:35 ). But Jesus, the Humble-King-Servant, did not.
This eighth and final prediction in Psalm 22:16 ( not Jesus’ last, remember He fulfilled more than 300) was that Jesus would die by getting his hands and feet pierced. This happened a thousand years after King David penned the 22nd Psalm. Crucifixion had not been invented. This cruelest way to die was to be perfected by the Romans. Only the worst of criminals would die like this. Yet, Our LORD and Savior, who came that peaceful and joyous night, lying in the manger, as a baby, died this horrendous death for you and me.

All this to say, the Christmas timeline may be off. There may not be peace in your home, or someone in your family has recently died. Maybe you are going through some tough times. Things aren’t going the way you want them to be. Remember that Jesus, the Odds Maker, the One who came to fulfill Prophetic writings from thousands of years before, is on your side. Ask Him to help you. If he can accomplish and beat the odds so that it would be impossible for someone else to beat them, you don’t think Jesus could help you with yours?

Our faith is not a blind faith. Even though Jesus tells us that we are blessed because we believe in Him without seeing ( John 20:29 ).

May, this Christmas, have you looking up to the Baby in the manger and trusting that whatever is going on your life, Jesus could bring a miracle to your house. One of Peace, Goodness, and Joy…

T-4 Days ‘Til Christmas —Get Your Voices Ready! |Christmas 2019 Series

The Triumphal Entry
…39 But some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples!” 40 “I tell you,” He answered, “if they remain silent, the very stones will cry out.” 41 As Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it…
Luke 19:40

As we walk around our neighborhood, the shopping centers and all around our city, we are witnessing more and more, the power of this Christmas Season. There is no need to get into detail since many of you are also witnessing this phenomena. People are humming, singing, and whistleing Christmas tunes.

I know that some who are singing, are Christians awaiting Christmas Eve & Day, but a big portion of those people humming or listening to Christmas songs may not be.

Yet, there they are, joyfully singing about the Christmas miracle.

It is a miracle because of what God did for His children. Coming down from His eternal Home and becoming one of us! Only to die 30+ years later, for our sins…

I find it intriguing that most people get into the Spirit of Christmas. Because their Creator, whether or not they believe, has to be worshipped and hailed into the kingdom of men. If our collaborate spirits were not willing to whistle, hum or sing about the Newborn King, the very stones all over the world would cry out to worship Him! Signaling this very special and momentous event!

So if you are not yet in the CHRISTmas Spirit, I would highly encourage you to start at least humming some Christmas carols. You will find that your inner spirit has been screaming to worship its Creator!
I added another song for you to get into the Spirit!

1 Hark! the herald angels sing,

“Glory to the newborn King:

peace on earth, and mercy mild,

God and sinners reconciled!”

Joyful, all ye nations, rise,

join the triumph of the skies;

with th’angelic hosts proclaim,

“Christ is born in Bethlehem!”

Refrain: Hark! the herald angels sing,

“Glory to the newborn King”

2 Christ, by highest heaven adored,

Christ, the everlasting Lord,

late in time behold him come,

offspring of the Virgin’s womb:

veiled in flesh the Godhead see;

hail th’incarnate Deity,

pleased with us in flesh to dwell,

Jesus, our Immanuel. [Refrain]

3 Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace!

Hail the Sun of Righteousness!

Light and life to all he brings,

risen with healing in his wings.

Mild he lays his glory by,

born that we no more may die,

born to raise us from the earth,

born to give us second birth. [Refrain]

O come, o come, Immanuel,

and teach us in its ways to go.

Refrain:

3 O come, O come, great Lord of might,

who to your tribes on Sinai’s height

in ancient times did give the law

in cloud and majesty and awe.

Refrain:

4 O come, O Branch of Jesse’s stem,

unto your own and rescue them!

From depths of hell your people save,

and give them victory o’er the grave.

Refrain:

5 O come, O Key of David, come

and open wide our heavenly home.

Make safe for us the heavenward road

and bar the way to death’s abode.

Refrain:

6 O come, O Bright and Morning Star,

and bring us comfort from a far!

Dispel the shadows of the night

and turn our darkness into light.

Refrain:

7 O come, O King of nations, bind

in one the hearts of all mankind.

Bid all our sad divisions cease

and be yourself our King of Peace.

T-7 Days ’til Christmas—The Power of This Holy Day |Christmas 2019 Series

***Scripture*** ***Matthew 2:2***
***Graphic*** ***Coutesy of FreePik***

Christmas is not just another holiday, it is Thee Holy Day. I am not just saying this because of my faith. But look back as far as you can personally, and you will see that things are different during this season.

Yes, I know, Jesus’ birth is unlikely the date we have celebrated for eons.

Yes, there were more than three wise men looking for Jesus.

Yes, we don’t know which star hailed the Newborn King.

Yes, there are countless questions I have that until I get to heaven, won’t be answered.

But here’s one for you skeptics:

There is no other Holy Day that has stopped wars, filled hearts with joy and peace, and stood the test of time, like this one. This Christmas season is special.

It gives people hope for the New Year. It gives families time to reflect on what they have and what has been given to them. It brings families back together. Even during tragic moments like deaths in the family, or divorce, etc., this season makes people long for a peaceful time. It has even the most of skeptics smiling.

Why? Because of the supernatural power of God’s Spirit filling earth with wonder, joy and amazement. Like the wise men seeking the New Born King ( Matthew 2:2 ), or the shepherds hearing the glad tidings of the Savior of the world ( Luke 1:19 ), I ask you today to take time out to look up into the starry night and ask God to fill you with His presence. You will know what I mean when you get your answer. Take time to prepare for this wondrous time of the year. Take time out to smell the hope, peace, joy and most importantly, grace of God through the Son who obediently came to earth as a Baby. To bring us peace everlasting…

T-8 Day ‘Til Christmas—The Little LORD Jesus… |Christmas 2019 Series

13 Now people were bringing the little children to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them, and the disciples rebuked those who brought them. 14 When Jesus saw this, He was indignant and told them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”…
Mark 10:14-15

I read a story yesterday about a London school who was telling the children who were singing Christmas carols to substitite the little LORD Jesus to the baby boy Jesus…

To those Scrooges’ across the pond that would force kids to skip The little Lord Jesus and instead say the baby boy Jesus…

I want to know if you would do this to little Muslim kids had they been singing about Mohammed their messenger? Or Jewish kids singing about Hanukkah?

I wonder what would happen to the same teachers if they told Muslim children in their London school to stop saying prayers five times a day because they are an inclusive school and don’t want to offend Christians, Jews, and none-religious children!

Here’s some news for you humbugs:
You may try to force kids to sing whatever it is you think will not offend this always offended generation(not all the generation but a good percentage).
If you did this because you don’t want people singing about the LORD Jesus, then you’re in even more ‘tough luck’ because every time Christianity is made illegal or hushed, the number of Christian converts grows.
There is nothing that you or anyone else’s can do to shut down the name of Jesus. Just ask the Romans, they killed Christians by the thousands, and lo and behold, Christianity spread even more. Look what happened to that empire!
Or ask the Chinese, they are systematically doing their best to get rid of Christian churches but will ultimately fail in their endeavors.
Or you may want to try to stop children from singing or worshiping Jesus, like the Iranian Regime. They have a closed system where other religions are not legal but one.

Yet the fastest-growing Christian church in the world is the Iranian Church!

A small but incredibly important lesson from history: those who have tried their best in getting rid of Christianity have failed.
Resistance is futile. You are either going to sing about the LORD Jesus today or, as they say here in SoCal, “Get thrashed by a gnarly Jesus wave that will have you gasping for air as it tumbles you to shore…where on your knees, you’ll end up right in front of the Little LORD Jesus’ manger scene!

Teachers in that London school, come on , don’t be humbugs…Let the children come to Jesus, and sing to their hearts content!

T-9 Days ’til Christmas—No Christmas—No “Happy Holidays” |Christmas 2019 Series

There are some people that get offended by this time of the year. They want us to stop saying “Merry Christmas” Because we are excluding people that may not be Christians and / or may not celebrate what Christmas is all about.The same people are trying so very hard to include everyone into this fantasy world of inclusion, that they forget one very specific and important thing:

Christmas is about inclusion! God loved the world so much he sent His Son to die for all of us (John 3:16 & John 3:17, Titus 2:11).

You see, a little child was born in Bethlehem roughly 2,000 years ago. He, as in a male child, came to be the future King of Humanity. His Title was Imanuel, Messiah, King of kings and Lord of lords.

His Name is Yeshua, Iésous, Jesucristo, Jezus Christus, Hesukristo, Gesù Cristo, Hisus K’ristos, just to name a few.

This time of the year would not be the same without this Baby being born in a small town in a little place of the world called Judea.

Too small of a town amongst its nation, and too insignificant of an event to make a dent in the Roman Empire. Yet, this small nation which was subject to the most powerful empire that history had seen, would be host to the greatest event in human His Story—The Almighty God would become a small and helpless Child. Born in a lowly manger or stable for animals.

Why? So that God could 30+ years later be our once for all Sacrificial payment. In order to redeem His children from the bondage of sin and separation which meant not from having total and complete connection to The Creator of the Heavens. This is how much God loves His rebellious human children, He sent Jesus to fix that separation.

God loves us so much (John 3:16 ), that He allowed His Son Jesus to become a helpless baby on that special night where a Star was signaling His arrival ( Matthew 2:2 ). So that those who were tired, in pain, sorrowful (Matthew 11:28-29), & faithful to their LORD would be the only ones to see His coming. Those were the people who were regularly looking up to the heavens for God to connect with His children (Matthew 5:3-12 ) again.

So how important is Christmas? It’s not just another day. It’s not celebrated in order to get presents under the tree. It’s not for family get togethers. It’s not to go out and party like it’s 2099! All the above may be okay for people to do, but they miss the mark on the true meaning of this Special Holy Day.

So whenever you have someone tell you “happy holidays”, remind them that there would not be any happy holidays on this special season if it weren’t for a Holy Night where a Star shone so bright; leading all those who were sick and tired, desparate, lonely on the inside, and looking up to the heavens for some kind of redemption from their Creator. Because Christmas is not for shopping or drinking eggnog or singing about a tree...

…It is about a little town in Israel, ushering in a new period of humanity. A new beginning of grace, mercy, peace and joy. Whether wars are fought, hell’s gates let loose all their vileness or global warming threatens to destroy earth! ( Isaiah 7:10-16; Micah 5:1-6; Luke 2:1-7 )

Those things will not and cannot ever take the place of that silent and Holy Night when The LORD Jesus humbled Himself and was born to a poor family inorder to feel, experience, and take the excuses of people saying that God is up there and we are miserably down here. That God has everything and we on earth are suffereing down here.

If you are poor, Jesus was too.
If you go hungry, Jesus was also hungry.
If you are suffering, Jesus suffered the most gruesome exeperience.
If you are tempted, Jesus was too.
If you are sad, Jesus cried the same way we have.

So today, make this holiday season a Holy Day Season. Allow yourself to go and worship the little baby in a small town called Bethlehem. Who is laying in a manger and is being hailed by the heavenly host as the Savior of Humanity! Be like the shepherds and the wise men who went to celebrate the birth of the King of kings and LORD of lords.

Allow yourself to get into the CHRISTmas Spirit. Don’t be afriad to say MERRY CHRISTmas & a happy New Year!
Because with Christ, the New Year will bring great joy & peace…no matter your situation

T —11 Days ’til Christmas Imagine If Your… |Christmas 2019 Series

Behold, a virgin shall be with child and shall bring forth a Son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.—Matthew 1:23

Mary of the Tribe of Judah from the ancestral town of Bethlehem must have been a young teen girl. Most likely around 12-15 years of age.

—Imagine a modern day teen girl so devoted to God that she is picked to deliver God Himself!

—Now imagine an Angel of the LORD visiting your teen daughter, giving her the news that God has picked her to be His earthly mother! I know my wife and I would have had a good laugh, had one of my daughters came up to us trying to explain the great news:

Daughter: Dad, mom… an Angel of the LORD came to me earlier while we were all sleeping!

Me thinking…. I should have checked her breath and demeanor when she came back from hanging out with her friends: Oh an Angel of the LORD, you say!?

Daughter in an excited voice: I know right!? You want to know what he said?

My wife interjecting nervously: Oh what did the Angel say?

Daughter even more excited: Yes! I can’t believe I’m going to be God’s mommy!

Both my wife & I’s minds hear a loud record scratching!

Us now more concerned and thinking things a mile a minute: Wait, what? What did you just say?!

Daughter still talking fast and excited: He told me that I was picked because I was highly favored!( Luke 1:28 )

Me nervously tapping my foot up and down like Thumper: It’s time we go visit an emergency room young lady. Go get ready!

Daughter goes from peaceful excitement to loud crying, and runs back into the room.

—I know that’s not how it played out in the Gospels, but imagine Mary having to tell her parents, Jospeh her fiance and the rest of the family and friends. This would have been hard for a teenage girl to wrap her head around, let alone be able to explain it to her loved ones. Yet, with, and through all this, Joseph accepted her because God had sent Gabriel to communicate what was happening to Mary.

There are a few things I am thankful for in this story:

1. That God would come down from heaven and become human.

2. That God would pick someone like Mary that had a passionate faith and nerves of steel that she would need the rest of her life, when people would gossip about her and her Son.

3. That God sent Joseph into Mary’s life. You see, when Mary had told him, Jospeh did not want to humiliate her, he wanted to leave her silently and without disgracing her (Matthew 1:19 ).

4. And even more impressive, Joseph went to think things through after Mary had told him that she was pregnant by the Holy Spirit of God ( Matthew 1:20 ). He would stay alongside of his wife until the day he went home to be with the LORD.

May we all have this amzing faith. One faithful in her passion for God and obedience. The other, the loving and leader-like qaulity of not reacting like 90% of the men would have.

Back To The Garden—T-13 Days |Christmas 2019 Series

—In my previous post, I mentioned that Joseph, and his future bride Mary, who was pregnant by the Holy Spirit, were in a bind, trying to find a place to rest for a few days in Bethlehem.
They were forced by the Roman Emperor’s decree to go to their ancestral tribe’s town to get counted in a Roman Empire wide census.

This was one of the principal Prophecies being fulfilled by God for verification. But there were others…

—You see, God had promised Adam and Eve, right from the beginning of their disobedience, that He would one day redeem them and reconnect His relationship with them. Redeem means to buy back, or release the debt. This redeeming was going to be fulfilled by Jesus on the cross.

But here’s another amazing part:

—Jesus also had to fulfill God’s promise to Adam. One of his descendants would be born to stomp on satan’s head. Not killing him but injuring his devilish whisperings.

This devious and evil fallen being would wreak havoc on Adam and Eve’s descendants, until Jesus’ work of redemption on the cross. ( Genesis 3:15 ).

—And, Jesus had to come from the line of King David due to the promise God gave this king. That one of his descendants would be The Anointed One or Messiah of Israel( 2 Samuel 7:13; 2 Samuel 7:16 ), thus being born of Mary’s line through David ( Ruth 4:18-22; Luke 3:23-38 ), and also legally through His step dad Joseph’s line through David ( Matthew 1:1-17 ).

Satan would never recover. His weapon is the intellectual essence of this world…

—Satan would never recover. His weapon is the intellectual essence of this world. People who are influenced by this enemy and his hordes intellectually, are also those not spiritually connected in a relationship with Christ ( 1 Corinthians 15:55).
Those who “hear his voice”( John 10:27, John 10:14 ) have lessened the effect of the enemy’s whisperings. We are filled by God’s Spirit, who gives us discernment to perceive something is wrong when we come across things that may not be good for us.

All this to say, Joseph & Mary could not find a room to rest in their ancestral place. Yet, they both had family in Bethlehem, who may have helped them but were unable to host them correctly.

—This little family would end up in a place with animals who witnessed the birth of their God incarnate. It would be a perfect conclusion to God’s promise of one of Adam and Eve’s descendants, who would come and make things right again. Reconnecting humanity back to God in a sort of garden-like-state.

Here’s what I mean:

Two people—a man & woman back in connection with God and his creatures, like in the Garden.
No poor, poor Joseph & Mary, God had them where He wanted them.

—Alongside His other creation. The Almighty would also be making the animals reconnect with their Creator. The little donkeys, sheep, and goats would be a witness for their kind; since they could see who this Baby really was!
Why would God want His little creatures there?
—Like Joseph and Mary’s fore-parents when they were taking care of the Garden, more specifically, God’s animals.
God orchestrating this incredible manger scene to show his children that this God-baby-King was setting the Garden scene back to what it should have been….thus fulfilling the Genesis prophecy, and the Davidic prophecy of a Messiah coming to set things right.
—No other man in His-story has even come close to fulfilling just one specific prediction written thousands of years before ever taking place.
—Jesus fulfilled hundreds and hundreds of pre-written prophecies regarding His First Coming or First Advent.
More to come on these predictions being fulfilled…

If you don’t have a connection with Jesus, make this incrdibly wonderful time of the year be the moment you reconnect with your God, don’t wait:

But You, House of Bread…T-14 Days |Christmas 2019 Series

“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.” Micah 5:2

At the time of this prophecy, Bethlehem’s population was about 200 or so. When Jesus was born, there was no room at an inn. The town of under 500 would not expect so many people visiting all at once. This overpopulation was due to Caesar Augustus (Luke 2:1) demanding a decree for all his subjects to be numbered in a Roman census.

The decree forced people to go to their ancestral towns to get counted. Not because the emperor was concerned about his subjects, but because he wanted to ensure the empire was taxing its subjects correctly.

So right around 4-6 B.C., a future family of three traveled about 80-90 miles from Nazareth (Luke 2:4). They were tired, and poor Mary had been putting up with the bumps and bruises of sitting on a donkey through steep mountainsides to get to their ancestral town.

So the “no room at the inn” scenario is highly possible.

Now imagine all of them tired and dirty from travel. Baby starts moving more, and Mary is feeling all of it. Men, we don’t have a clue about this, but the women who have gone through the process of giving birth definitely know what comes next!

***Typical Jewish House during time of Jesus***—**Courtesy of Jesusstory.net**

Joseph! I don’t care if there’s no room at the inn! This baby is coming out whether we have reservations or not!

Joseph, trying his best to protect and care for his family, does the next best thing to a reserved room at the inn—He saves money, and the little family gets comfortable in a manger (Luke 2:7).

Now you may be thinking that these mangers are filthy. Yes, they were. Anywhere animals are kept will be dirty, but remember that most animals’ living spaces were at the bottom of the dwelling where their owners lived. They had to bring them in for safety reasons—one was to keep them warm, and the other was to keep them from being stolen.

All this to get to the House of Bread or Beyth-lechem, where Jesus’ lineage was. Both Mary and Jesus’ step-dad were from the same tribe or clan or house. Except each came from different ancestors before ending with David.

The same David who slew the great Giant Goliath and the same one whom God promised one of his descendants would be the Messiah of Israel and the world.

The incredible prophetic utterance of Micah is astounding. The odds of two people from the same ancestor (David), getting together and having to travel just under a 100 miles through steep mountainous terrain, and Mary being with child. Then as soon as they get to their destination, she delivers, while extraterrestrial things are happening right outside of the little town, with a moving star leading Magi to the very spot where a baby king was being born, would be astronomical! Thats for a future post!

For now, just think of you and your spouse meeting and then getting married. Only to have to go to your ancestral cities for a world-wide census. What would be the odds of both of you coming from the same city or town? Let alone having a male baby being born in that town at the exact time you had to be there for the census?…
This was what Jesus did, fulfilling an 700-800 year old prophecy or prediction of the coming Prince of Peace whom the Jews called their Messiah…
