Over the past week or so I have been reading the <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+1&version=KJV" target="_blank">Book of Isaiah</a>. To be honest I am blown away at the similarities mentioned about Israel and then looking at modern day America. I do believe that when people or nations turn their backs on God, the laws of nature & God's Law, comes into play. I believe that God has a “template to judge a nation” with which He uses.<br>
<br>
I am one who also firmly believes that our nation was brought about by divine providence. King James, the very same king who put his name to the only Authorized Version of the bible, also sent people to "the new world" to spread the Gospel and claim the land for God in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ. This is the basic tenant of the<a href="http://godtheoriginalintent.com/PDF%20Chapters/Jamestown.pdf" target="_blank"> James Town Charter</a> claiming America for His Glory. We are not God's chosen people and in no way do we replace Israel, but I believe we have a special place in God's plan and because we have remained a Christian nation up until about 40 years ago, God has blessed us immensely.<br>
<br>
As a nation we have made some really bad mistakes and choices, but we have "repented" in our past and came out on the other side stronger and corrected our failures and mistakes. At the base of the Statue of Liberty it states, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" We are a nation built upon the principles of God and His Word. But somewhere on this journey, our great republic strayed and instead of being good, we have chosen the path of evil.<br>
<br>
I look around at what is taking place here in the US as well as globally and I see man working towards his own demise through the pleasures of the world and of the flesh. Instead of exporting the Gospel, we export pornography. Instead of saving the innocent, we kill millions of our children through abortion. Instead of standing for God, we work to eradicate His existence from our lives, our monuments and our schools. Instead of the holy matrimony between husband and wife we have sodomites, pedophiles, hedonism, practitioners of bestiality, all becoming the norm. Instead of caring for our fellow man, we have allowed greed and selfishness to replace compassion. The natural affection of man is gone. Brutality is its replacement. Corporate greed and the serving of mammon today has become a norm.<br>
<br>
But that is not all. It seems that which gender one is having sex with is now more important in the halls of congress than the wholesomeness and protecting the family unit. We care more for this world and justify its shallow perspectives more than the things of God and His 'eternal' perspective. Do you know that there is an epidemic of teachers accused or convicted of having sex with their students, hundreds of them, mostly female? Has this come to the forefront of national and international news in recent years? No. <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%205&version=KJV" target="_blank">Isaiah 5:20</a> says, <span>"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!</span><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%205&version=KJV" target="_blank"> Isaiah 5:23</a>, says,<span> "Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him."</span><br>
<br>
I read many articles where so many of these child predators are just given a slap on the wrist. Where liberal judges reward the evils and yet lock up those who are righteous. A prime example of this is the two border guard agents who spent time in jail for doing their job and yet a drug smuggler is on the loose coming and going in and out of our country.<br>
<br><b></b>
Sins of the flesh are being taken to a new high. At a past Sundance Film Festival not only did we have a movie where the main highlight was the raping of a 12 year old girl, which was done all in the name of “ART.” But get this… There was also a film called “Zoo,” the primarily focus of the film was sex with animals. <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus18&version=ESV" target="_blank">Leviticus 18:23</a> says, <span>"Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion."</span><br>
<br>
But that is not all. More and more television shows are portraying homosexuality in a very positive light. Showtime was touting their hot show “ The “L” Word” It is a show that glorifies and is about life as a lesbian. <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans1&version=ESV" target="_blank">Romans 1:26</a> says, <span>"For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature."</span><br>
<br>
And now, look at us as a nation...We have allowed a POTUS that is an usurper, vile, proud, and taunts his own homosexuality. We've viewed the photos and stories of his drug use, tolerated his lack of "experience" and have become "fearful" of standing on our Oath to the Constitution, for what? Our own greed and selfishness? Towing the "party" line? Believing in "tolerance" to accept what is vile before God's eyes?<br>
<br>
Does "Babylon has fallen" ring a bell? If it hasn't, then YOU are also the problem. Using words like Barack Obama has done in this link, as the "headline" in today's news.....it is past time to humble thy selves as a nation. The destruction hasn't even reached it's peak....hold on because it's going to be a destructive, deadly ride.<br>

"Your biggest problem is so small for such a big God"-Ella Cruz"
The New Testament has given us God’s kind of faith and the authority to perform miracles through faith and the name of Jesus. No matter what level of cancer you are; you can be healed by your faith and the word of God.
Jesus did not care in what stage of death were the three people whom he raised from the dead. He just called life on them.
Let's see how He did it...
"The first time he invaded the realm of death it was for the daughter of Jairus; an official in Jerusalem. She was “just” dead. The second time it was the son of a widow in Nain who was “one day” dead, and the third time it was Lazarus; brother of Mary and Martha in Bethany who was “very” dead after three days.
HE raised them “all.” It doesn’t matter how big is your problem, and how hopeless you are because Jesus is the resurrection and the light."
World's events are happening so fast. Putting Global Governance 2015, Agenda 2030, Agenda 2050, Antarctica, Mars, CERN, G5, The United Nations, The European Union, the Club of Rome, and the false prophets of the Vatican all together, we see that the satanic global government is imminent and it shall come to pass.
The mark of the beast will be obligatory. You are either a Christian and believe this because this is what was predicted 2000 years ago in the Bible, or you are not a Christian but you read all these articles and connect the dots to notice that the satanic world government is their agenda and with President Trump, we had 4 years and this was God's mercy on us.
Their Global Governance 2025 is terribly close. Their Green New Deal's 12 years matches the agenda 2030. The immigration and devouring of America and Europe all go according to the blueprint of one world satanic government.
We have a short time to prepare ourselves. Why are we, born-again Christians happy and calm? Why do we joyfully dedicate ourselves to the nation, knowing that we will be chased and prosecuted for NOT taking the mark of the beast? Because we are dedicated to the Kingdom. "Your kingdom come, Your will be done."
1-We believe Jesus Christ is the son of the Living God.
2-We believe the Bible is the word of God.
3-We believe God had so much loved us that HE sent his only begotten son to die on the cross for our sins. Through his blood, all our sins are washed away and forgiven.
4-We believe the price of our salvation, health, prosperity, happiness, and eternal life is paid by the blood of Jesus. We have all these gifts in us when we are born again by GRACE. By his stripes, we are healed 2000 years ago.
5-We believe by accepting Jesus Christ as our savior, we open our hearts to the Holy Spirit. We are baptized by the Holy Spirit who will dwell in us and will reveal Himself through dreams, visions, speeches, videos, books to communicate with us, immediately after our Salvation.
6-We believe Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. We believe born-again believers receive the same DNA as Jesus Christ with the same miraculous abilities through faith. Just as the Apostles performed the same signs and wonders as our Lord Jesus did. They did it through "faith," and The Lord will accomplish the same miracles through us after we accept him as our savior.
7-We condemn the religion and many fake prophets of the Vatican (not all of our Catholic brothers and sisters) who deceived Christians for centuries and hid the true message of the Bible and the Good News from people to keep themselves in power. We welcome all denominations. 8-We believe that a born-again Christian never dies and the moment his life on earth is terminated, he is promoted to heaven. There is no death for us. We just transit to our new dimension which is filled with immense, joy, love, peace, and glory of God.
All people who have met Jesus in a visit, vision, dream, or have died for a short time, left their body and came back, know how does this experience feel. It is a divine relief and joy. Therefore, to answer the above question (why are we happy?), our answer is, we can happily die right now. In fact, we would love to die yesterday and go home but each one of us has a mission and purpose that the Holy Spirit has revealed to us after our born-again experience.
For the sake of that mission, although we know our day of prosecution will come, we are joyful and relaxed in the spirit. Because we save people by preaching the Gospel and bringing them to Jesus.
To be born again, you just need to say: Lord Jesus, I accept you as my personal savior, Come to my heart, Forgive my sins, Wash me away, Make me a new person, And live inside of me. In the Name of Jesus from Nazareth, Amen.
And that's it. You are saved. He will reveal himself to you. Your life will dramatically change. Your marriage, your health (especially addiction), your finances, and all areas of your life will experience this extraordinary change. And never look back.
Follow the Blueprint of the Holy Bible with Faith and you will assuredly be Free.
In Jesus most Holy Name, AmenGods Modern Day Martyrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10425830445274809773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615023365856144285.post-17505766337519806422021-07-04T08:10:00.004-04:002021-07-04T08:10:52.203-04:00Liberty In The Lord<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg7TwMkSWqK8ZxFArwTRnif4BkmmHcp0k3rosn2j2j5CtCwZqV7ujtEDzcovimtgM8xMKlbyEcZfkKg1e48zN_MRtV8yZ3bUQnfemJijZqHWMkFbdhoAj_U09ThyphenhyphenVudmtK4mJIKmHdtzCf/s1050/Screenshot_20210704-080851_Brave.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="200" data-original-height="608" data-original-width="1050" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg7TwMkSWqK8ZxFArwTRnif4BkmmHcp0k3rosn2j2j5CtCwZqV7ujtEDzcovimtgM8xMKlbyEcZfkKg1e48zN_MRtV8yZ3bUQnfemJijZqHWMkFbdhoAj_U09ThyphenhyphenVudmtK4mJIKmHdtzCf/s200/Screenshot_20210704-080851_Brave.jpg"/></a></div>
Liberty in the Lord is truly lasting freedom. Outside of submission to God Almighty, we become a discontent, miserable slave to the almighty dollar, to people, to places and to things. To be a servant of Christ is a much greater glory than the greatest monarch on earth—King of Kings and Lord of Lords—He reigns! The desire of our Creator and Savior is not an onerous burden but a light yoke of love. We are children and friends of the Most High, free to serve, free to love and free to obey. No more chained to the culture or paralyzed by politics, but with the interdependence of eagle’s wings and wind, we soar by faith with the uplifting current of the Holy Spirit. Paul describes himself as a prisoner for the Lord—free but under God’s authority.
“As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace".
Ephesians 4:1-3
Freedom is only fulfilling if experienced within the rules of love. God gives his children guidelines to grow their capacity to love and to protect them from unwise decisions, even sinful tendencies. Treat your neighbor as you would want to be treated. Avoid lies by embracing the truth. Honor your parents, especially when they have a deficiency of genuine honor. Battle covetousness and idolatry with gratitude and generosity. Replace selfish love with authentic love. Celebrate the diversity of the body of Christ. Like a vast orchestra everyone plays a different instrument producing a beautiful sound: some loud, some soft, some soothing, some vibrant movements to activate melodious works. God’s rules help us resist rebellion and cherish our freedoms. Submission to Christ positions us to be loved by Christ and to love others like Christ.Gods Modern Day Martyrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10425830445274809773noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615023365856144285.post-46646575381473011092021-04-03T06:56:00.001-04:002021-04-03T06:56:12.392-04:00At The Foot Of The Cross<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Reading from the
<a
href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+12&version=KJV"
target="_blank"
>Book of John 12:26</a
>
26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my
servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
In John’s gospel,
our Lord offers us a singular solution to our sickness, the only way for us to
discover who we were meant to be and how we are meant to live. “Where I am,
there shall also my servant be” (John 12:26). If we are truly servants of Jesus,
our daily work is nothing more than choosing to be with him, yet this demands of
us a closely related question: Where is Jesus, and where should I be if I want
to find him at work in my life and community?
The answer to this question may
take a lifetime of prayerful discernment to truly answer, yet we are not left to
stumble in the dark. Jesus is with the poor and the outcast. He is found in the
marginalized and forgotten people and places of society. Our Lord is near to the
humble and repentant sinner. He has told and shown us where we can expect to
find him.
So often, the problem is not in our lack of knowledge about where to
find Jesus, but in our own unwillingness to meet him in that place. We yearn to
be free, yet fail to see our own bondage to comfort and material goods. We want
to see the sick healed and desolate comforted, yet ignore the sicknessb of sin
within our own hearts that keeps us from going to them in love.
In short, we
long for the glory of of our Father to manifest in our lives and others, yet are we willing to meet our Lord? He is found
"at the foot of the cross?"

Perhaps little time remains to say and do what you’ve left unsaid and undone. Perhaps you grimace to look back on a life mostly spent and wonder, “What have I done?” or, “Where did it go?” This is the bed you made; so many petals have already fallen. You are left gripping the thorny stems of memories you wish replayed so differently in your mind. </p><p>You may now, like never before, regret investing your life in a world that now threatens so soon to evict you.
Perhaps children, if you have them, now spurn you. Perhaps it’s too late to tell your mother you’re sorry. Perhaps the better life that you expected just around the corner never came. Years wasted by some combination of bad circumstances, bad company, and bad choices, your sand has fallen down the hourglass — what was it all for?</p><p>No one wants to waste his life — but what if you fear that you have? The thief who died next to Jesus on the cross, and lived a most ravaged and pitiful life two thousand years ago, stands out like a flower grown between cracks in the pavement, showing how, even on life’s final page, even in its final lines, a wasted life can be redeemed.
His Final Page
What an eerie sensation it must have been to wake up that morning knowing that today would be his last.
Unlike most, who do not know precisely when the cold fingers of death will seize them, he knew that within just a few hours he would be dead. His body would be dispossessed, his frame left vacant. His hands would never again clasp the oars of a fishing boat, his eyes would not see the sun fall behind the curtain of the horizon, his voice would no longer be heard in the land of the living.
Soon, he would be gone. No more would the birds wake him with their songs, nor the breeze greet him on early mornings. No more would he playfully argue with his mother about her Scriptures — tomorrow did not exist for him. </p><p>The rays streaming into his prison held no warmth.
As for man his days are like grass; he flourishes like the flower of the field. The wind passes over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. The childhood lyrics sang involuntarily in his mind.
It was no gentle wind that would soon pass over him, but a Roman tornado. The brutes had sentenced him to a most horrific end, one that made his mother cough up her food: crucifixion. He shuddered to recollect the sights of grown men, naked, squirming as bait on a hook outside of the city for all to see. Bloody, screaming, crying, groaning — he would be one of them.
One of Three
Of the whips and chains and mockery that escorted him to that dreadful hill, his own conscience joined as an invisible, but not unskilled, torturer. </p><p>He always thought he would amend his ways eventually. But eventually never came. Now, as he trudged up the hill as a sport for cruel men, a still small voice within reminded him that he now dwelt in a land devoid of second chances.
On this day, there were no more do-overs. No time to make things right. The branches would not reattach. The sentence could not be reversed. The shattered vase would not be restored. This world was being pried from his hands. Only hours remained, surely the worst of his already pitiful existence. He would beg for death in the end. </p><p>As bloodstained nails invaded his wrists, shock waves of pain he had never known overwhelmed him. His mind spasmed at the flood of hurt only to reawaken as the other two nails impaled him. He could scarcely remember being lifted up from the ground but for the earth-shaking, body-convulsing thud as the cross fell in place. </p><p>Two others erected nearby. Before again submerging below the streams of consciousness, he caught himself wondering why so many stood around them.
See Him Through a Wasted Life
Many eyes stared at him. He hated each pair. Why did his wretched death have to be attended by such a crowd? Luckily, he was not the main object of their mockery. He played backup in this savage dirge. Who was this man they hated so? </p><p>Of course, it had to be the same day. The man who walked around stirring up the Pharisees, pretending to be the Messiah hung next to him. Some destination for a Messiah. Escaping the crowd’s displeasure, he joined in deriding him.
Maybe it was what he heard from his enemies: “He saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, his Chosen One!” (Luke 23:35). Wait, even his enemies admit that he in fact saved others? Could he really be the Christ of God, his Chosen One? If he saved others, could he save me? </p><p>Maybe it was what he saw. From the throng of weeping women trailing behind him up Golgotha, to a crowd gathering to see whether he would actually save himself, to his enemies surrounding him to hurl assaults at him: Who is this man? A sign above his head, inscribed in three languages read, “This is the King of the Jews” (Luke 23:38). Could he really be?
Maybe it was the supernatural event surrounding his death. Three hours of darkness at midday (Matthew 27:45)? What can explain this blackening of the sun? Who is this that even the greater light leaves his throne and turns to flee at his death?
Maybe it was what he heard from Jesus himself. As men mocked and tormented him, laughing and insulting him, he met their derision with prayer: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34). He had been cursing the crowd, but this man — with nails in his flesh — prayed for their forgiveness. Who is this man calling God “Father” — even from these awful heights? Could I possibly be an answer to this King’s prayer? Can I be forgiven of my many sins and wasted life?</p><p>With Final Breaths
He knew everything had changed in his inner man when he heard himself spending the last of his fleeting strength to make the world his enemy on this man’s behalf.
The third criminal railed, “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!” (Luke 23:39). Before he could think, his soul objected: “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong” (Luke 23:40–41).
He was guilty, but not this man. He was rightfully condemned, but not this man. He was worthy of death, but not this man.
He who wasted millions of breaths throughout his life came to gasp with his final few, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom” (Luke 23:42). And from the dying King to his unworthy servant came words to overwhelm his wasted existence: “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:43). At the punctuation of this most miserable existence, he at last found the reason for his life: Jesus Christ.</p><p>In the Shadow of the Cross
Have you wasted your life? Are you on the verge of wasting it? Follow this once wretched man to the Savior. Whether you have been a horrible steward of your faculties through sin or through thoughtlessness, run to him who will even now welcome you. He prays for the forgiveness of his enemies. The moment you believe upon Jesus, angels will shout and rejoice over, yes, even you and your new life in him (Luke 15:7).</p><p>If you have wasted your life, know that another life exists. There are more pages. Though nothing but regret follows you into glory, you will have lived better than the unbelieving kings and celebrities of this world if you repent of your sin and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. He is Life itself, and only those can die well who, like this penitent thief, perish in peace in the shadow of his cross. </p><p>Greg Morse is a staff writer for desiringGod.org and graduate of Bethlehem College & Seminary.

To Q followers, the reason they don’t ask is obvious. They’re afraid of the answer.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">In the meantime, Q’s influence continues to spread. Protestors in Hong Kong, Iran, and France have held up Q signs and chanted Q quotes. Q’s revelations are uniting people all over the world who want freedom.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">If you’re unfamiliar with Q or only know it through the media’s attacks, I’d like to provide a brief introduction to this extraordinary phenomenon. I’ve followed Q since the first drop, and I’ve grown increasingly impressed by the accuracy, breadth and depth of Q’s messages. Q followers were prepared long in advance for the easing of hostilities with North Korea, the deflation of the mullahs of Iran, and the discovery of Ukraine as a hotbed of corruption for American politicians. They knew a great deal about Jeffrey Epstein’s activities before the public did and anticipate even more shocking revelations to come. As Q likes to say, “Future proves past.” As Q’s predictions come true, they lend retroactive credibility to the entire enterprise.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">Q’s followers believe that Q is a military intelligence operation, the first of its kind, whose goal is to provide the public with secret information. Many Q followers think the Q team was founded by Admiral Michael Rogers, the former Director of the National Security Agency and former Commander of US Cyber Command. Some suspect that Dan Scavino, White House Director of Social Media, is part of the team, because the high quality of Q’s writing has the luster of a communications expert.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">Q is a new weapon in the game of information warfare, bypassing a hostile media and corrupt government to communicate directly with the public. Think of Q as a companion to Trump’s twitter. Whereas Trump communicates bluntly and directly, Q is cryptic, sly and subtle, offering only clues that beg for context and connection.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">Here’s the way it works: Q posts messages (also known as “drops” or “crumbs”) on an anonymous online forum, which are discussed, analyzed, and critiqued by the board’s inhabitants. (The forum has changed a few times after massive online attacks.) Hundreds of social media accounts then spread Q’s latest posting to worldwide followers who share their research, analysis, and interpretations of Q’s latest information.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">I’ve compiled a list of Q’s most famous catch phrases and tried to put them into context.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">The Great Awakening</span></span><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">: We’re living in a unique time in which ordinary citizens around the world are collaborating to understand and expose the corrupt system that rules us. The system thrives on deception, and the overwhelming task of The Great Awakening is to penetrate its lies and reveal the truth.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">The first phase of The Great Awakening is heightened awareness of the Deep State – the interlocking governmental entities that operate outside the law to expand their own power. Elections and popular opinion don’t impact the ability of the Deep State to enforce its agenda.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">The second phase of The Great Awakening investigates the Deep State’s alliance with other powerful sectors: the media, Hollywood, charities and non-profits, public schools and universities, religious organizations, medical, scientific and financial institutions, and multinational corporations. This phase can be painful, as you discover that “<span style="font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: 700;">those you trust the most</span>” (in Q’s phrase) are deceiving you. Beloved celebrities, religious leaders, doctors, educators, innovators, and do-gooders are all in on the hoax.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">The third phase of The Great Awakening is perhaps the most painful of all. The people who rule us are not merely amoral creatures who view us as collateral damage in their drive for money and power. It’s scarier than that. The potentates we serve are actively trying to harm us. That’s their goal. We’re under coordinated attack.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">Dark To Light</span></span><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">: Q tells us that what our rulers fear the most is exposure. Bringing their crimes out of protected darkness into the light of public scrutiny destroys their power to deceive. And as their power fades, the darkness of our divided, violent world will yield to the light of freedom, cooperation, and peace.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">Where We Go One We Go All (WWG1WGA): </span></span><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">Q’s most famous phrase expresses the worldwide egalitarian nature of the movement. Every country is suffering from the system’s oppression, and the whole world will benefit from a rebirth of freedom. In this unique movement, anonymous citizens work in collaboration with the highest-ranking military leaders and the president, and everyone’s contributions are valued. When commenters on the board have thanked Q for his service, Q has replied that no one is above and no one is below. “We work for you.”</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">These people are sick</span></span><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">. Perhaps the most difficult aspect of The Great Awakening is coming to terms with the depravity of our rulers, whom Q has called The Cult. Jeffrey Epstein’s story has helped to awaken people to some of the elite’s crimes. The mysterious temple on Epstein’s island hints at possible future revelations that are frightening in their scope. Q followers believe that The Cult engages in ritual practices that enshrine the shedding of blood and which prey on the innocence of children. The sickness in their souls thrives on brutality, war, and terror. These disclosures will be tough for the public to take.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">Trust the plan</span></span><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">. The presumed military leaders who created Q and who protected Trump throughout the election and presidency have created a precise path to victory. Despite the seeming chaos of daily events, a steady progression of victories is taking place. The plan includes offensive maneuvers against the Cult’s financial power, legal standing, human supply chains, and military capacity. And, of crucial importance, the plan attacks the Cult’s ability to control the narrative that shapes what the public believes. In this high-stakes game of information warfare, Q plays a vital role by empowering ordinary citizens (like me) to spread the truth.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">They want you divided</span></span><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">. The hatred that’s growing between races, classes, age groups, religions, and political parties is purposely fomented by the Cult. The more we’re divided and focused on attacking each other, the weaker we become. Q urges us to stay together and to fight the Cult, not each other.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">They think you’re sheep</span></span><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">. The Cult believes, as Q says, “you’ll follow the stars” – the celebrities in media, Hollywood, and academia who tell you, in coordinated fashion, what you’re supposed to think. Their contempt for you makes them confident they can control you and ensure your surrender to any agenda. Q, on the other hand, offers only clues and can only be understood by high-grade critical thinking, spurred by constant crowd-sourced criticism and reassessment. The essence of the Q movement is to think for yourself.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">Bigger than you can imagine. Expand your thinking</span></span><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">. Q encourages us to reevaluate everything we think we know. The Cult may date back to ancient times, and through its powerful families, it might have manipulated historical events in ways that we haven’t suspected. The Cult may also possess advanced technology and medical cures that have not been released to the public. One aspect that may be “bigger than you can imagine” is the unfathomable scale of theft from our national coffers, as funds for foreign aid and wars wind up in the Cult’s pockets.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">Track resignations</span></span><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">. Beneath the surface, a broad and deep cleansing of corrupt players is taking place. Q asked us to track resignations to understand the scope of activity. (Here’s a website that took him up on his request: <a href="http://www.resignation.info/" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="color: black; font-size: inherit !important;">www.resignation.info</span></a>) Resignations, retirements, and unexpected deaths from major players in politics, media, charities, and corporations all point to possible deals being made quietly without the public fanfare of arrests. For me, a notable resignation is Eric Schmidt’s abrupt exit from Google, which received little media attention. Schmidt <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2017/12/21/end-google-era-alphabet-executive-chairman-eric-schmidt-steps-down-executive-chairman-parent-company/975014001/" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="color: black; font-size: inherit !important;">resigned</span></a> on December 21<span style="font-size: inherit !important; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">st</span>, 2017, the same day that President Trump signed an <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-blocking-property-persons-involved-serious-human-rights-abuse-corruption/" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="color: black; font-size: inherit !important;">executive order</span></a> declaring a national emergency related to “serious human rights abuse and corruption around the world.” Further context for Schmidt’s resignation may be inferred from this <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2013/1/9/3854996/eric-schmidt-north-korea-visit" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="color: black; font-size: inherit !important;">photo</span></a> of him in North Korea, apparently in an advisory role. Standing next to him is Bill Richardson, former Governor of New Mexico, the state in which Epstein had a secret ranch. Richardson has been accused by one of Epstein’s victims.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">Their need for symbols will be their downfall</span></span><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">. The Cult uses certain symbols over and over again, which may serve some ritualistic need, but makes them vulnerable to detection. Q followers are familiar with Y-shaped horns that mimic those of the goat deity Baphomet, owls, pyramids, one eye encased within a pyramid, red shoes, bandaged fingers, and other repeating symbols, including the mysterious black eye that afflicts so many famous people. The Q Army also knows the coded pedophile symbols listed by the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3560069/The-symbols-pedophiles-use-signal-sordid-sexual-preferences-social-media.html" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="color: black; font-size: inherit !important;">FBI</span></a>. When Q drew attention to the design of Epstein’s temple, alert Q followers noticed how similar it is to the set design of a famous talk show. And the red ring on the hand of dead terrorist Qassam Soleimani prompted Q followers to compile images of similar rings on the hands of powerful people. An excellent source for understanding how these symbols are incorporated into pop culture targeting the young through music videos, TV shows and movies can be found at <a href="https://vigilantcitizen.com/" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="color: black; font-size: inherit !important;">vigilantcitizen.com</span></a>.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">Nothing can stop what is coming. Nothing. Now comes the pain. </span></span><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">The headlines on any given day may sound discouraging for those who want justice to prevail. But these setbacks are temporary, as a juggernaut of justice heads our way. As Q likes to say: <span style="font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: 700;">We have it all. </span>Massive amounts of irrefutable evidence await the criminals who try to evade their reckoning in court. For those who worry about Trump’s ability to overcome impeachment, election fraud, and assassination attempts, Q assures us: <span style="font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: 700;">Patriots in control</span>. And no legal tricks can help the criminals escape the ultimate judgment of public disgust. Q promises us that <span style="font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: 700;">the day is coming when they can’t walk down the street.</span></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">You are the news now</span></span><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">. The “fake news” decried by President Trump is losing credibility and audience by the day. Q has exposed the 4 A.M. drops that provide the daily talking points to media personnel, so they can all parrot the same propaganda. Q has also named various journalists whom he says take bribes. The media is concentrated within six powerful companies; on the other hand, the Q army is vast, voluntary, and anonymous. Q assures us that our efforts to disseminate the truth through social media and conversations with family and friends are having a huge impact. We are the news now.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">We know what happens in the end. God wins. </span></span><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">Many times, Q has asked us to pray. He’s quoted the famous Biblical lines of Ephesians 6:12, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” We’re living through monumental times. It’s comforting that Q believes that if we work together, God wins.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">Graphic credit: <a href="https://pixabay.com/vectors/letter-q-q-letter-alphabet-english-33754/" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-size: inherit !important;">Pixabay</a></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">Q sources for further research: qmap.pub qanon.pub qproofs.com</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">#qanon #thegreatawakening #WWG1WGA #darktolight #QArmy #sheepnomore</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">YouTube:</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">Q: The Plan to Save the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVeDKuHPDK8&feature=youtu.be" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="color: black; font-size: inherit !important;">World</span></a></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">Q for Beginners Part 1: Who is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=5vYqqH3-xFY&feature=emb_title" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="color: black; font-size: inherit !important;">Q</span></a></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", trebuchet, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: 700;"><i style="font-size: inherit !important;"><span style="font-size: inherit !important;">Deborah Franklin is the pen name of a writer who fears professional retribution.</span></i></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman, times, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b><i>Article posted on <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/01/an_introduction_to_q.html">AmericanThinker</a></i></b></span></span></p></div>Gods Modern Day Martyrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10425830445274809773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615023365856144285.post-69479586744835249162020-11-17T05:30:00.001-05:002020-11-17T05:31:21.396-05:00The Second American Revolution<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div> The beautiful National World War II Memorial in the nation’s capital was dedicated in 2004, honoring the more than 400,000 who gave their lives in that conflict (including the writer’s younger brother). This particular holiday, of course, originally known as Armistice Day, had been established many years before to commemorate the end of World War I and to honor the veterans of that war.<br>
<br>
There have been many other wars in our nation’s history and many who have served and many who have died. They all “have fought a good fight” and “kept the faith” of our nation’s commitment to establish “liberty and justice for all” and to maintain this ideal in every generation. They fully merit our honor and heartfelt gratitude.<br>
<br>
There is another good fight going on, of course, every day in the life of each believing Christian. The apostle Paul never served as a soldier in any human army, but he was often called on to “endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ” (<a class="bible" href="http://www.icr.org/bible/2Timothy/2/3/?utm_source=phplist9141&utm_medium=email&utm_content=HTML&utm_campaign=November+11+-+The+Good+Fight">2 Timothy 2:3</a>). As a matter of fact, each of us must remember that “unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake” (<a class="bible" href="http://www.icr.org/bible/Philippians/1/29/?utm_source=phplist9141&utm_medium=email&utm_content=HTML&utm_campaign=November+11+-+The+Good+Fight">Philippians 1:29</a>).<br>
<br>
That suffering may be actual persecution, or even injury or death on a battlefield, but it could also be poverty or sickness or some other “messenger of Satan” (<a class="bible" href="http://www.icr.org/bible/2Corinthians/12/7/?utm_source=phplist9141&utm_medium=email&utm_content=HTML&utm_campaign=November+11+-+The+Good+Fight">2 Corinthians 12:7</a>) sent to test us and alienate us from the Lord. But then we can hear the Lord say, as with Paul: “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness” (<a class="bible" href="http://www.icr.org/bible/2Corinthians/12/9/?utm_source=phplist9141&utm_medium=email&utm_content=HTML&utm_campaign=November+11+-+The+Good+Fight">2 Corinthians 12:9</a>).<br>
<br>
Whatever comes, may God help us to be able to say in that day: “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.”Gods Modern Day Martyrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10425830445274809773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615023365856144285.post-89435968740070945942018-11-08T06:58:00.001-05:002018-11-08T07:06:31.106-05:00Go To The Mountain Top!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

When Jesus took these three disciples up into that high mountain apart, He brought them into close communion with Himself. They saw no man but Jesus only. And it was good to be there. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Heaven is not far from those who tarry on the mount with their Lord. Who has not in moments of meditation and prayer caught a glimpse of opening gates? Who has not in the secret place of holy communion felt the rush of some white surging wave of emotion-a foretaste of the joy of the blessed?</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The Lord had times and places for quiet converse with His disciples, once on the peak of Hermon, but often on the sacred slopes of Olivet. Every Christian should have his Olivet. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Most of us, especially in the cities and towns, live at high pressure. From early morning until bedtime we are exposed to the whirl. Amid all this commotion, how little chance for quiet thought, for God's Word, for prayer and heart-to-heart fellowship!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Daniel needed to have an Olivet in his chamber amid Babylon's roar and idolatries. Peter found his on a housetop in Joppa. And Martin Luther found his in the "upper room" at Wittenberg, which is still held sacred.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
If we do not get back to visions, peeps into heaven, consciousness of the higher glory and the larger life, we shall lose our religion. Our altar will become a bare stone, unblessed by visiting from Heaven. Here is the world's need today-"men who have seen their Lord."</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Come close to Him! He may take you today up into the mountain top, for where He took Peter with his blundering, and James and John, those sons of thunder who again and again so utterly misunderstood their Father and His mission, there is no reason why He should not take you. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
So don't shut yourself out of it and say, "Oh, these wonderful visions and revelations of the Lord are for chosen spirits!" They may be for you!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Go to the mountain top!!<br />

The Glory of Easter lives on. The tomb where they laid His body is empty. The stone has been rolled away. The Son of Man has ascended and is seated at the right hand of God the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. This we know. This we believe. It is to this great truth that we bear witness.<br />
<br />
We can believe this truth. This truth is the most important of all truths. Our mission will not be completed until Jesus Himself returns and reigns in righteousness and justice. Yet we undertake this mission with a sense of that same invincible hope that inspired those who peered with amazement into an empty tomb, saw the risen Savior face to face, and then proceeded to turn their world upright. We pray that you and your family will be especially blessed this resurrection Sunday. We thank you for your prayers for us. And we say: He is Risen! He is risen indeed! Hallelujah!</div>

<br />
We will never be able to fully comprehend the spiritual aspect of Christ’s suffering and shame, but medical studies have shed glimpses of light on the physical agony and all the horror that Jesus endured on the cross.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;">For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+12&version=KJV" target="_blank">Hebrews 12:3</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: yellow;">Sweating Drops of Blood</span><br />
<span style="color: orange;">And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+22&version=KJV" target="_blank">Luke 22:44</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: yellow;">The Scourging</span><br />
Jesus, battered and bruised, dehydrated, and exhausted from a sleepless night, is taken across Jerusalem. It was there, in response to the cries of the mob, that Pilate ordered the condemned Jesus to scourging and crucifixion. Preparations for the scourging are carried out. Jesus is stripped of His clothing and His hands tied to a post above His head. The Roman legionnaire steps forward with the flagrum in his hand. This is a short whip consisting of several heavy, leather thongs with two small balls of lead attached near the ends of each. The heavy whip is brought down with full force again and again across Jesus’ shoulders, back, and legs.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: yellow;">Nailed to the Cross</span><br />
The beam is placed on the ground and Jesus is quickly thrown backward with His shoulders against the wood. The legionnaire feels for the depression at the front of the wrist. He drives a heavy, square, wrought-iron nail through the wrist and deep into the wood. Quickly, he moves to the other side and repeats the action, being careful not to pull the arms too tightly, but to allow some flexion and movement. The beam is then lifted in place at the top of the posts and the titulus reading “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews” is nailed in place.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: yellow;">The Agony</span><br />
As the arms fatigue, great waves of cramps sweep over the muscles, knotting them in deep, relentless, throbbing pain. With these cramps comes the inability to push Himself upward. Hanging by His arms, the pectoral muscles are paralyzed and the intercostal muscles are unable to act. Air can be drawn into the lungs, but cannot be exhaled. Jesus fights to raise Himself in order to get even one short breath. Finally, carbon dioxide builds up in the lungs and in the blood stream and the cramps partially subside. Spasmodically, He is able to push Himself upward to exhale and bring in the life-giving oxygen.<br />
<br />
Hours of this limitless pain, cycles of twisting, joint-rending cramps, intermittent partial asphyxiation, searing pain as tissue is torn from His lacerated back as He moves up and down against the rough timber. Then another agony begins. A deep crushing pain deep in the chest as the pericardium slowly fills with serum and begins to compress the heart.<br />
<br />
The compressed heart is struggling to pump heavy, thick, sluggish blood into the tissues—the tortured lungs are making a frantic effort to gasp in small gulps of air. The markedly dehydrated tissues send their flood of stimuli to the brain. Jesus gasps, “I thirst.”<br />
<br />
<span style="color: yellow;">Final Cry</span><br />
He can feel the chill of death creeping through His tissues. With one last surge of strength, He once again presses His torn feet against the nail, straightens His legs, takes a deeper breath, and utters His seventh and last cry, “Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit.”</div>

2017 was a year ruled by politics. Every single fact and issue has become political. This year’s news was monopolized by people on both sides of a widening and divisive gap covering their ears and shouting about how they’re right and good – and how the other side is wrong and evil. Although there is nothing wrong with getting involved in politics, obsessing about social constructs can lead one to ignore universal truths.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: -apple-system, ".SFNSText-Regular", "San Francisco", Roboto, "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
The Vigilant Citizen was never about politics. Its scope goes way beyond trying to have a politician elected. It is about the unseen impact of culture and symbolism on the human psyche and realizing that our current environment is toxic and detrimental to the mind and soul.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: -apple-system, ".SFNSText-Regular", "San Francisco", Roboto, "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
Since 2008, I’ve been highlighting the many ways popular culture is toxic and how it constantly caters to our darkest impulses. In 2018, we are seeing consequences of such a culture: A generation excessively prone to anxiety, depression, and suicide. People are so keen on numbing themselves from the world that they are dying by the tens of thousands (in the US alone) of opioid abuse – drugs created by pharmaceutical companies to numb pain. As celebrities sing about “popping pills”, people are numbing themselves to death. The opioid crisis is symbolic in itself, in a dark and troubling way. It is symptomatic of a palpable <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">mal-de-vivre</em>, a profound malaise of the soul. Several factors are causing this climate and our constant exposure to media and its distorted messages is a big part of the equation. As we’ve seen this year, the messages keep reaching new lows of depravity while attempting to reach children as young as possible.</div>
<div class="code-block code-block-1" style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; font-family: -apple-system, ".SFNSText-Regular", "San Francisco", Roboto, "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; margin-bottom: 50px; margin-top: 50px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: -apple-system, ".SFNSText-Regular", "San Francisco", Roboto, "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
This past June, I published an article titled “<a href="https://vigilantcitizen.com/moviesandtv/something-is-terribly-wrong-with-many-kids-videos-on-youtube/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #830000;">Something is Terribly Wrong With Many “Kids” Videos on YouTube” </a>which exposed the disturbing content found in “children videos” on YouTube. The video platform has been flooded with thousands of videos aimed at toddlers filled with content that is either shocking, terrifying, sexual or all-out traumatizing. Even worse, some videos are targeted by child predators. Dubbed “Elsagate” by some online communities (because they often feature popular children’s characters such as Elsa), these videos garner billions of views and expose babies and toddlers to a steady regiment disturbing media.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: -apple-system, ".SFNSText-Regular", "San Francisco", Roboto, "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
Fortunately, some good has come from our collective vigilance. In response to the outrage, YouTube “terminated more than 270 accounts and removed over 150,000 videos” from their platform. YouTube also “removed ads from nearly 2 million videos and over 50,000 channels masquerading as family-friendly content” and “turned off comments on over 625,000 videos targeted by child predators”.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: -apple-system, ".SFNSText-Regular", "San Francisco", Roboto, "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
While this might be a step in the right direction, the same underbelly is still bubbling not so far below the surface, constantly churning out videos from stars and idols promoting self-destruction. This year alone, we’ve seen <a href="https://vigilantcitizen.com/musicbusiness/katy-perrys-bon-appetit-nod-occult-elite-rituals/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #830000;">Katy Perry being eaten by elite cannibals</a>, <a href="https://vigilantcitizen.com/musicbusiness/selena-gomezs-fetish-is-symptomatic-of-a-sick-popular-culture/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #830000;">Selena Gomez torturing herself and calling it a fetish</a>, and <a href="https://vigilantcitizen.com/musicbusiness/lil-uzi-verts-xo-tour-llif3-straight-satanic/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #830000;">Lil Uzi Vert spinning around in a bloody, pill-induced Satanic haze</a>.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: -apple-system, ".SFNSText-Regular", "San Francisco", Roboto, "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
The symbolism that is pointed out on The Vigilant Citizen is the outward, easily perceptible manifestation of a dark undercurrent, an underground philosophy that guides the actions of those in power. Understanding this mindset – as foul and disturbing as it can be – allows one to navigate the world with eyes truly open.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: -apple-system, ".SFNSText-Regular", "San Francisco", Roboto, "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
There is a process in motion and every year it is more visible. Indeed, there is a conscious and deliberate effort to distance the masses from what is true and authentic in order to move them into an artificially created environment, custom-made to stifle the human spirit. The further away we are from truth, health, balance, and harmony, the easier we are to control.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: -apple-system, ".SFNSText-Regular", "San Francisco", Roboto, "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
For this reason, it is essential, more than ever, to stay grounded and connected to what life is truly about. We must reconnect with Life with a capital L. What is Life with a capital L might you ask? Well, like you, I am still finding out. However, I do know that, since the dawn of time, it has been represented by a simple yet powerful symbol: A tree.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: -apple-system, ".SFNSText-Regular", "San Francisco", Roboto, "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
Picture a great big tree, with its massive roots firmly gripping the soil that is full of nutrients and its tall branches reaching for the rays of the sun. Across all ages and across all cultures, the symbol of the tree represents Life … with a capital L.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: -apple-system, ".SFNSText-Regular", "San Francisco", Roboto, "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 27px; line-height: 34px; margin: 30px 0px 20px;">
Tree of Life</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: -apple-system, ".SFNSText-Regular", "San Francisco", Roboto, "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
The Tree of Life can be found in the canons of countless religions and mythologies. It is an age-old archetype that symbolizes the connection between Earth and the heavens.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: -apple-system, ".SFNSText-Regular", "San Francisco", Roboto, "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
It is found in Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. The tree of life is also part of Egyptian, Persian, Chinese, Germanic, Celtic, Aztek, and Iroquois mythologies. In nearly every case, the tree is associated with knowledge of life and a described as a key to immortality.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: -apple-system, ".SFNSText-Regular", "San Francisco", Roboto, "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
For instance, at the beginning of the Bible, in Genesis, the tree of life is in Eden, guarded by two cherubims. Separated from the tree, Adam and Eve found themselves subject to physical and spiritual death.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: -apple-system, ".SFNSText-Regular", "San Francisco", Roboto, "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
Although each culture has its own elaborate story surrounding their version of the Tree of Life, the core message is the same: It is through the essence of this tree, which is rooted in the true source of life, that one can truly flourish.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: -apple-system, ".SFNSText-Regular", "San Francisco", Roboto, "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
Today, most of us are completely disconnected from that tree. And those in power are doing their best to push us as far away from it as possible. Through a debasing and abhorrent agenda, they seek to disconnect us from the core of that tree and its wise, life-giving essence. They want us to be like dried up leaves, detached from the tree, and floating aimlessly at the mercy of the winds they choose to blow at us.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: -apple-system, ".SFNSText-Regular", "San Francisco", Roboto, "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
Instead, like a tree, we must be firmly rooted in grounds made of strong values, solid knowledge, and patient wisdom. Like a tree, we must reach for the heavens and allow our fruits to be ripened by the sun.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: -apple-system, ".SFNSText-Regular", "San Francisco", Roboto, "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
While the spiritual meaning of the Tree of Life is something that few of us can fully grasp, all of us can take simple steps in the right direction to connect with it. Disconnect from the hypnotic light of screens and the nauseating sounds of media. Reconnect with nature, with the elements, and with life on earth. Breathe fresh air, gaze at the stars, and admire the miraculous force that animates all living things. Step back from the dizzying torment of society and resynch with the balancing rhythm of nature. Take the time to truly connect with your loved ones, with your neighbors and, of course, with yourself.</div>
<div class="code-block code-block-3" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: -apple-system, ".SFNSText-Regular", "San Francisco", Roboto, "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 50px; margin-top: 50px; text-align: center;">

Because, although being aware of the evils of this world is all-important, we must not allow ourselves to be consumed by it. We must use this knowledge to identify what is toxic, not to obsess over it, but to clearly focus on what is healthy. Although we all want to change the world for the better, the true challenge of our lives is to change ourselves for the better. And this is what being a Vigilant Citizen is all about.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: -apple-system, ".SFNSText-Regular", "San Francisco", Roboto, "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
Thank you for reading my articles, for sharing them throughout the web, and for contributing your own thoughts through comments and messages. Today, more than ever, we need independent thinkers that rely on a solid moral compass – not a predetermined agenda – to understand the world, to speak up, and to fight for what is right.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: -apple-system, ".SFNSText-Regular", "San Francisco", Roboto, "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
Our work is far from done. See you in 2018!</div>

There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.”<br />
<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs+11&version=KJV" target="_blank">Proverbs 11:24</a><br />
<br />
“To get, we must give.” This is not the world’s method for attaining prosperity, but it is the paradoxical message of today’s verse, as well as that of Christianity in general.<br />
<br />
Note some of the many other paradoxes in the Bible related to this basic truth.<br />
<br />
To really live, we must die. “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.” <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galatians+2&version=KJV" target="_blank">Galatians 2:20</a><br />
<br />
To save one’s life, he or she must lose it. “Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it."<br />
<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+17&version=KJV" target="_blank">Luke 17:33</a><br />
<br />
To be wise, we must become fools. “If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise."<br />
<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+3&version=KJV" target="_blank">1 Corinthians 3:18</a><br />
<br />
To reign, we must serve. “Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things." <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+25&version=KJV" target="_blank">Matthew 25:21</a><br />
<br />
To be exalted, we must become humble. “And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted." <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+23&version=KJV" target="_blank">Matthew 23:12</a><br />
<br />
To be first, we must be last. “So the last shall be first, and the first last." <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+20&version=KJV" target="_blank">Matthew 20:16</a><br />
<br />
Finally, note the ninefold paradox of a truly Christian ministry:<br />
“In all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God. . . . By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things."<br />
2 <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Corinthians+6&version=KJV" target="_blank">Corinthians 6:4, 8-10</a><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana;">Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Timothy+2&version=KJV" target="_blank">2 Timothy 2:15</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: verdana;">If you cannot express yourself well on each of your beliefs, work and study until you can. If you don’t, other people may miss out on the blessings that come from knowing the truth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Strive to re-express a truth of God to yourself clearly and understandably, and God will use that same explanation when you share it with someone else. But you must be willing to go through God’s winepress where the grapes are crushed. You must struggle, experiment, and rehearse your words to express God’s truth clearly. Then the time will come when that very expression will become God’s wine of strength to someone else. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">But if you are not diligent and say, “I’m not going to study and struggle to express this truth in my own words-I’ll just borrow my words from someone else,” then the words will be of no value to you or to others. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Try to state to yourself what you believe to be the absolute truth of God, and you will be allowing God the opportunity to pass it on through you to someone else. Always make it a practice to stir your own mind thoroughly to think through what you have easily believed. Your position is not really yours until you make it yours through suffering and study. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">The author or speaker from whom you learn the most is not the one who teaches you something you didn’t know before, but the one who helps you take a truth with which you have quietly struggled, give it expression, and speak it clearly and boldly.</span></div>

Something to Ponder...<br />
There are many things that are essential to arriving at true peace of mind, and one of the most important is faith, which cannot be acquired without prayer. - John Wooden<br />
<br />
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.<br />
Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: sans-serif;">
<em style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful.” <a class="bible" href="http://www.icr.org/bible/Romans/1/31" style="max-width: 100vw; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: yellow;">Romans 1:31</span></a></em></div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif;">

<div style="font-family: sans-serif;">
<span class="body" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22.75px;">The phrase “without natural affection” is the translation of one Greek word, <em>astergeo</em>. It was a characteristic of many pagans of the ancient world. Significantly, it is also prophesied to be a characteristic of the humanistic pagans of the end-times. “In the last days . . . men shall be . . . without natural affection” <span style="color: yellow;"><a class="bible" href="http://www.icr.org/bible/2Timothy/3/1-3" style="max-width: 100vw; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: yellow;">2 Timothy 3:1-3</span></a>. </span>These are the only two occurrences of this word in the New Testament.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif;">

<div style="font-family: sans-serif;">
<span class="body" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22.75px;">The word <em>stergeo</em> (“natural affection”) is one of four Greek words for “love,” but it is never used at all in the New Testament. It refers to the natural love that members of the same family have for each other. It is such a common characteristic of all peoples that there was apparently no occasion to refer to it at all—<em>except</em> when it is not present, when people lose their instinctive love for their own parents and children and thus are “<em>without</em> natural affection.” One thinks of the widespread abortion of these last days, as well as the modern breakdown of the family in general.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif;">

<div style="font-family: sans-serif;">
<span class="body" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22.75px;">Another Greek word for “love” is <em>eros</em>, referring to romantic love, or passion. Like <em>stergeo</em>, <em>eros</em> also is never used in the New Testament. The other two words, however, are used frequently. <em>Phileo</em>, referring to “brotherly love,” occurs over 30 times. It indicates fondness, based on a community of interest with the person or persons so loved.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif;">

<div style="font-family: sans-serif;">
<span class="body" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22.75px;">The fourth “love” word, of course, is <em>agape</em>, which is used over 300 times. This is the type of love called out of one’s heart by the preciousness of the object loved, the love that impels one to sacrifice his own interests for the benefit of the person loved. This is the love of Christ, who “loved me, and gave himself for me” <a class="bible" href="http://www.icr.org/bible/Galatians/2/20" style="max-width: 100vw; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: yellow;">Galatians 2:20</span></a>. And this is the love generated by the Holy Spirit in the believer, for “the fruit of the Spirit is love” <a class="bible" href="http://www.icr.org/bible/Galatians/5/22" style="max-width: 100vw; text-decoration-line: none;">Galatians 5:22</a>.</span></div>
