The TALMUD is considered the more important of the rabbinical writings. It is made up of the Mishna, which are the oral traditions of Judaism, and the Gemara are their commentaries (which were written in the Aramaic, by the way). They are not a good source of historical information of what actually took place, but more of what Robert Stein called “an idealized rendering of how things should have taken place if the later rabbinic understanding of the law had been in force.” (from “Jesus the Messiah: A Survey of the Life of Christ”, published in 1996)
The Talmud actually contains several references to Jesus, or “Yeshu” as His name is in Aramaic.
Several pagan sources (Greek/Roman) such as Pliny the Younger, Tacitus, and Suetonius, to name a few, had referenced the Lord Jesus in their writings. Josephus, who was a Jewish historian, also included quite a few references about Jesus in his books.
But all these references, though helpful to validate that there truly was a person called Jesus of Nazareth (for there are still people walking this earth in the 21st-century that think Jesus was nothing but a mythological person or legendary figure), they are fewer in number and more or less as Stein said, secondary in nature.
First and foremost are always going to be the Christian sources of which is both the Old and New Testaments. The Gospels tell us the most about the Lord Jesus’ life, ministry, death, and resurrection. But though from the books of Acts through Revelation, there isn’t as much information about Jesus, there is enough that the Apostles Paul, Peter, John, and the writer of Hebrews included, that also helps to validate what was written in the accounts of the four Gospel writers.
And then also last, but not least the traditions of, for example, the Roman Catholic Church, their catechism, and any other Orthodox traditional teachings, though they may be helpful, they do not take the place of NOR do they come before, God’s Holy Written Word.
Bottom line-READ, STUDY, and MEDITATE on GOD’s 📖Word FIRST, and let HIM be your final WORD on all matters in this life.
The Lord Jesus called the apostle John to come up into what we consider the “third heaven”, and when he did so, the Spirit of God took him.
The two witnesses (Rev. 11) after they were murdered and laid in the street for three and a half days, just as it happened in Genesis, the breath of LIFE from the Lord God entered them, and they were also called back up into heaven by those words, “Come up here!”
So the words, “Come up here” are not written just once but twice.
And both times the Holy Spirit transports them up into heaven.
Where else in Scripture did that happen?
Acts 1:9-11, when the Lord Jesus was taken up from the disciples into heaven and disappeared in the clouds. The angels that stood by told the disciples that the Lord Jesus would return in the same fashion as they saw Him go into heaven.
I just thought I would share this with you and give you something to think about.
I included the Greek because unfortunately the Aramaic from the Peshitta is not available for me to just copy and paste here. Nevertheless, I added the Greek because that is one of the original languages that the book of Revelation was written in/translated into.
That “loud voice” was also attributed to the Lord Jesus in Matthew 27:46,50; Mark 15:34; Luke 23:46; John 11:43; Revelation 1:10. Revelation 21:5 is not necessarily in “red” as some Bibles portray Jesus’ words, because some believe those are the words of God the Father stating that, since the beginning of verse five says, “And He who was seated on the throne…”
Nevertheless, I think it would be good for everyone to sit back, read these verses, meditate on them, pray about them and have a conversation with the Holy Spirit. Maybe even do your own little Bible study on them.
The bottom line is, we are first and foremost, SPIRIT, then SOUL, then BODY (1Thess. 5:23).
Ecclesiastes 12:7 tells us plainly that the spirit returns to God.
When we each leave this earth, no one knows. Only the LORD knows our final day here. But we do know it will happen One Day.
I just pray that you all-we all-will be ready when it is our Time to be “called up” & stand before the Throne of Lord Jesus at the time of Judgement.
THIS here is an addiction chart from Association of Biblical Counselors, part of the Biblical Counseling Coalition, of which I am a member.
Courtesy of A.B.C.
THIS addiction chart is for ANY type of addiction a person may have; it starts with the pride/lust for whatever it is that the person thinks they must have. Following the path of decline in the chart, unfortunately picking up more demonic strongholds along the way (because in REALITY, that IS what they all are, no matter HOW they got there, or WHO let them “in” to that individual), the person not only becomes weaker and more susceptible to becoming a prisoner of the addiction, in the end, there is ALWAYS remorse, guilt, and could lead to destruction/death of that individual, IF they do NOT recognize their need for DELIVERANCE of those addictive strongholds.
IN THIS NEW YEAR, I wanted to start putting posts up 1-2 a month (on my professional FB page and/or blog page), or as many as the Holy Spirit leads me to, about the many different ways humans allow themselves to have strongholds, and the several enticing paths that the enemy of our souls deceptively lead humans down, to become CAPTIVES of those strongholds, making them feel like there is no way out.
Those strongholds come into a person FIRST through the THOUGHTS in their minds–the FIERY DARTS (Eph. 6:16, KJV) that Satan and the demonic entities entice a person with. Those “fiery darts” most of the time are something of an “Achille’s heel” to a person, whether it be alcohol, drugs, sex, pornography, gluttony, etc.
The evil ones KNOW us better than we know ourselves. They have been here for several MILLENNIA, watching, observing, “taking notes”, and knowing just how to STRIKE at their “opponent”–the human being, BECAUSE we are made in the image of the Most High God (Genesis 1:26-27).
BUT FIRST, I must address a very GRAVE and serious issue that I have come to realize within the Body of Christ, when it comes to the written ✡️📖✝️Word of God.
It’s one thing for a human being that has no desire to believe or heed the Word of God. They automatically deny everything about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit when that individual aligns themselves with any other god/cult/false religion that exists in this demonically infested world we live in.
The LORD God, since the days of Genesis and the Garden of Eden, HAS ALLOWED us human beings to CHOOSE whether or not we will give allegiance to HIM and His Word, or, to follow our own fleshly desires, and continue on the path of destruction, which unfortunately leads to what is called the eternal “second death” in the Lake of 🔥Fire (see Revelation 20:11-15).
THE ONLY WAY to escape that, is to ACKNOWLEDGE and REPENT of one’s sins, ACCEPT the LORD JESUS CHRIST as BOTH Savior AND LORD of their lives, and–very important–seek to be DELIVERED and SET FREE from any and all spiritual strongholds and bondages that have been in their lives, keeping them from living the purposeful life in Christ, that the LORD God destined for each and every human being.
EACH and every person MUST be tested, just like Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden. The LORD God Elohim ALLOWED that serpent–(HaSatan/Lucifer/the devil–see Isaiah 14:12-14, Ezekiel 28:13-16; Rev. 12:9) to TEMPT Earth’s first human beings. What was now being disguised as a Serpent to Adam and Eve became rebellious in his service and ministry to the LORD God (he WAS an anointed Guardian Cherub of the rank of the supernatural entities called Cherubim in the Kingdom of Heaven)
I know that even many Christians cannot wrap their heads around the BIBLICAL FACT that the LORD God HAS ALLOWED the evil ones SUCH as HaSatan, to “roam about, seeking whom they may devour” (1 Peter 5:8). It is not only to TEST us, but to also see where our ALLEGIANCE lies–whether it be with the Most High God and taking Him at His Word, OR–aligning oneself to one or more of the gods of this world, that the LORD God told us in His commandments to “have no other gods before/besides Me” (Ex. 20:3); nor are we to have made any pagan carved images of those gods, and then pray and worship them (Ex. 20:4-5) instead of the Most High God. The LORD was very plain in His speech throughout the Old and New Testaments, that NO OTHER GODS were to come before HIM and usurp His authority in any way.
But even Christians have allowed those demonic entities to fool them in one way or another, and deceive them into not only acknowledging, but some have even served AND worshipped, those demonic entities that parade around as gods TO THIS DAY. As absurd as it sounds, we see it happening all around us–many so-called faith leaders have done EXACTLY what the OT prophets, the Lord Jesus, the apostles John, Paul, and Peter warned us that they would do in the coming last days–depart from the true Faith, and be turned to idols, false teachers (2 Cor. 11:13; 2 Peter 2:1), false Christs (Matt. 24:24), false prophets (Matt. 7:15; 24:11; Mk. 13;22), and false gods (Jer. 14:22; 18:15; Zech. 10:2), leading them to their eternal death and destruction (Rev. 20:10-15).
WE ARE to TEST these spirits (1 John 4:1-3), to see whether they are true or false! It’s obvious that MANY human beings have to their eternal detriment, NOT tested those spirits, and have aligned themselves with such false teachers, prophets, gods, etc.
WE ARE LIVING in the days that 2 Timothy spoke about when it comes to having to preach the word when it is NOT welcomed in the increasingly demonic and fleshly-ruled world system we live in–“For the TIME is coming (and IS NOW HERE!) when people will NOT endure sound (spiritually healthy) teaching, but HAVING ITCHING EARS they will accumulate to themselves teachers (false teachers!) to SUIT THEIR OWN passions, TURNING AWAY from listening to the TRUTH (of God’s Word!) and wander off into MYTHS (lies of the devil)” (see 2 Tim. 4:1-5 for the entire passage in context).
Even church leaders from all the different splintered sects try and either dismiss God’s ✡️📖✝️written Word, ignoring what He has said, or worse yet, break the commandment written in Deuteronomy 4:2–“You shall NOT add to the word that I command you, NOR take from it, that you may KEEP the commandments of the LORD your God that I COMMAND YOU.”
In other words, DON’T PICK AND CHOOSE WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO BELIEVE IN THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD’S WRITTEN ✡️📖✝️WORD (see Acts 20:27).
I would also like to add here, the warning given by the Apostle John in Revelation 18-19, which solidifies and backs up Deuteronomy 4:2–(I obviously added the emojis for effect):
(v18)”I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: ✨if anyone adds ✨to them, God will add to him the 💥plagues 💥described in this book, (v19) and if ✨anyone takes away ✨from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will 💥take away 💥his share in the Tree of Life and in the Holy City, which are described in this 📖book.”
The blatant disrespect for God’s Word, and the rebellious ways I have seen and heard some so-called “Christian” churches in the 21st century handle God’s Word (truly most of them are the Laodicean churches mentioned in Revelation 3:14-19!)–it is only BY the LORD Jesus’ blood that HE shed on the Cross for us ALL, that keeps certain individual church leaders ALIVE, allowing them to WAKE UP the next day, in order to REPENT before God’s mercy ENDS for them!!
Those rabbinical and church leaders seem to forget (and I won’t put all those biblical verses here–you can look it up for yourselves) just HOW MUCH they are going to be held RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE for NOT heeding the Word of God themselves, AND also, for not TEACHING and PREACHING the whole counsel of God to their congregations! As the Lord Jesus Himself said, “Everyone to whom MUCH was given, of him MUCH MORE will be required…” (Luke 12:48).
Those servants of God who dared to preach and teach His Word, YET, who instead of led MILLIONS (and for those false teachers/prophets/cult leaders–BILLIONS) to their eternal death, BECAUSE they refused to HUMBLY ADHERE TO and PREACH the whole counsel of God, THEIR ETERNAL DESTINATION will be the LAKE 🔥of 🔥FIRE, UNLESS THEY REPENT.
I am making this a LONG post THIS time on purpose, in order take the time out to make you, the reader, realize HOW SERIOUS it is to take God’s Word AS TRUTH, especially if you call yourself a “Christian”. This will stay on my page, and I will also add it to my blog page (see my bio for link), so others can see and read it, in order to go back and reference all the Scriptural verses as I present many more posts that deal with all types of demonic doorways, infiltrations, infestations into people’s lives, vexations, obsessions, oppressions, and sometimes even possessions (that can only be dealt with the person being exorcised and delivered by professional exorcists and deliverance workers by that point).
The Holy Spirit is the one SINCE the time of PENTECOST (Acts 2), to DWELL IN and work THROUGH every person who TRULY has “called upon the name of the LORD to be saved” (Joel 2:32; Acts 2:21). It is HE, the same SPIRIT, Who works IN and through ME (see Act 2:38)–and every other true servant of the Most High God, BECAUSE that is the GIFT we all receive when we become true children of God. He SPEAKS to all those WILLING to HEAR what He has to say (see such verses as Eze. 3:27; Matt. 11:15; Mk. 4:23; Rev. 2:7, 11; 3:6; 13:9).
The Holy Spirit, Who is GOD in the THIRD PERSON of the TRIUNE GODHEAD, is responsible for CONVICTING (see Jn. 16:8), teaching, correcting, chastising, comforting, encouraging, emboldening, etc. (see Jn. 14:16-17, 26; 15:26-27; 16:13) each and every CHILD of GOD that confesses Jesus as Lord (see Jn. 3:3, 5, 7; Jn. 1:12).
WE who confess to be children of the Most High God and our Lord Jesus Christ–our bodies become HIS TEMPLE (see 1 Corinthians 3:16-17; 6:19; Eph. 2:21) that the LIVING SPIRIT of GOD dwells in.
HOPEFULLY now you will realize how serious it is to not only call yourself a Christian, but more importantly, to BELIEVE and ACCEPT (even though we do NOT understand ALL that God says and does in His Word and in our daily faith walk with Him–we cannot possibly understand it all–see Isaiah 55:8-9) the WHOLE COUNSEL of His Word, TRUSTING that in time, the Spirit (if you give Him the opportunity TO speak to you) WILL teach and explain these things to you, that you do not comprehend in God’s Word.
IN ORDER for a person to completely be SET FREE and DELIVERED from any and all mental (because it always starts with those fiery darts!), emotional, physical, and obviously SPIRITUAL demonic bondages, a person MUST HUMBLE THEMSELVES, forsake ANY and ALL other false belief systems/pagan practices/gods, etc. –EVEN the false or exaggerated traditions that have transpired in certain Christian churches/circles, etc.–REPENT of our sins (see Romans 3:10,20, 23; 6:23) CONFESS those sins (Rom. 10:9-10), calling upon the name of the LORD to be saved (Rom. 10:13), and ALLOW the LORD God through the HOLY SPIRIT to CLEANSE you from your sins (see 1 John 1:9) through CONFESSION of them, WASH you in the WATER of God’s Word (see Eph. 5:26), rid you of all those evil, demonic strongholds that have been keeping you deaf, dumb, and blind to God’s truth in His Word.
ONCE you truly do that, you WILL be a child of God; you WILL have “put off the works of darkness and (have) put on the armor of light (Rom. 13:12), and MOST importantly, having the HOLY SPIRIT of God IN you, to work THROUGH you, you would have then “…put on the LORD JESUS CHRIST, and make no provision for the FLESH, to gratify its desires” (Rom. 13:14) in you any longer!!
ONCE an individual has “put on” and IN themselves, the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord of their lives, they THEN will receive the gift of the Ruach HaKodesh–the HOLY SPIRIT to DWELL IN them (and ONLY then, will they receive Him–that is how you know WHO truly is a child of the King–by the spiritual CHANGES that happen in their lives!). That person WILL allow their spirit, soul (mind, will, intellect), AND body (see 1 Thessalonians 5:23 to see that we ARE made up OF PRIMARILY, spirit, THEN soul, THEN our fleshly COVERING–NOT the opposite way like the demonic world makes humans think it is!) to come under the RULE of the HOLY SPIRIT, Who is ONE with the FATHER and the SON.
EPHESIANS 4:4-6 spell it out for us as well how we are to be ONE with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, AND HIS WORD–that CANNOT be left out–(after all, does John 1:1,14 tell us plainly that CHRIST IS THE literal and living WORD OF GOD?) –and I’ll end the post with this passage, and interject within the passage as well:
“There is ONE BODY and ONE SPIRIT (any other spirit that exists in a person’s body is a DEMONIC SPIRIT)–just as you were CALLED to the ONE HOPE (JESUS) that belongs to your call– ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM, ONE GOD and Father of ALL, Who is over all, and THROUGH all, and IN ALL (of His children).”
EVERY FAMILY is affected one way or another by the demonic realm. They attack in so many different ways with so many different people, especially those who are non-believers, but not so surprisingly anymore, even among those who profess to be Christians. See 1Timothy 4:1-5 and 2Peter 3:4 for a couple of examples.
After all, Scripture does tell us that “Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus WILL BE persecuted, while evil people and impostors WILL GO ON FROM BAD TO WORSE, deceiving and BEING deceived” (2Tim. 3:12-13).
So we should expect trouble to occur in this day and time as we get closer to the “End of Days”, not only with strangers or co-workers, etc., but from WITHIN our own FAMILIES.
AND—this problem is also affecting me as well; being a servant of the Most High doesn’t mean I’m immune to any sort of attacks. I don’t just deal with the onslaught from satanic groups or the like; in fact, most of the attacks a Christian like myself faces comes right from our own family members and close friends.
How and why does that happen? I’ll give you a few examples from Scripture of what people DO NOT look out for, when certain negative thoughts come into their minds.
I’ll share a real example from my own life experiences that is taking place right now.
HaSatan is doing an excellent job with certain people in my family; unfortunately they don’t recognize the “fiery darts”(Eph. 6:16) shooting into their mind as from him and the demons.
Furthermore, they do not “take every thought captive (2Cor. 5:10) to the obedience of Christ.”
And, I can almost guarantee that those who say they are Christ’s, are NOT putting on the armor of God every single day (Eph. 6:10-18).
Which also means they are NOT allowing the Holy Soirit to chastise and correct them, instruct them, and teach them (Jn.16:8-11,13; 14:26; 15:26) via God’s Word, how to PROTECT THEMSELVES from such demonic mental attacks.
Those people have not allowed the Holy Spirit to work in them, in order for them to “be transformed by the renewal of your mind”, so they will be able to rightly discern (Rom. 12:1-2) right from wrong; to know God’s will vs. allowing their flesh and emotions to take over.
PAUL the Apostle in Romans 8:6-7 stated, “For to set the mind on the flesh is DEATH, but to set the mind on the (Holy) Spirit is LIFE and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is HOSTILE to God, for it does not submit to God‘s law; indeed, it cannot.”
HENCE vs. 8: “Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.”
HOW MUCH hostility have we seen in the present day concerning the truth of the Bible, godliness, purity, etc.? This world is adamantly AGAINST all that is of God and His Word!
Though the natural (fleshly, non -believer) person doesn’t accept the things of God (1Cor. 2:14), unfortunately, sometimes the believer gets caught up in the worldly drama when they are NOT disciplining themselves in whatever junk they take INTO their thought life. Ephesians 2:1-3 says we believers WERE DEAD in our trespasses and sins”, but should no longer live or think like the fleshly, worldly person.
Yet it continues to happen when the Christian doesn’t have or want the knowledge of Christ and HIS truth (Jn 14:6; 17:17); they do not rightly handle the word of truth (2Tim. 2:15); nor do they diligently allow Scripture or the Holy Spirit Who DWELLS IN each true believer (1Cor. 3:16; 6:19) to be the instrument of instruction, reproof, correction, or training in righteousness”( 2Tim3:16) that the Lord Jesus, Who IS the living Word of God-desired for us, in order for us to have the mind of Christ (1Cor. 2:16; Philippians 2:5).
Furthermore, Romans 8:9 REMINDS us professed Christians that “YOU, however, are not in the flesh, but in the SPIRIT, IF IN FACT the Spirit of God DWELLS IN you. ANYONE who does NOT have the Spirit of Christ does NOT BELONG TO HIM.”
A VERY strong statement from Paul there, but needful so that we realize how crucial and significant it is to make sure that we have the Holy Spirit leading and guiding us at ALL times, and in all circumstances.
Hence the reason why those who do not put to practice what the Lord Jesus stated in His Word, end up believing wrong things about me and others, and before you know it, I’m on their “blacklist” and ostracized from their lives and most family gatherings.
So when THIS happens to YOU, PRAY powerful spiritual warfare prayers FOR them and AGAINST the demonic entities that plague them, and leave the rest up to the Lord Jesus, Who will be the JUDGE of all.
CONTINUE to love them, forgive them for how they hurt you, but WALK AWAY if you must (hopefully, only for a certain amount of time)to stay away from the arguments and drama. LET God the Father and His Son deal with them in Their own way.
Continue to live your life out for Christ, and be the light in the midst of the darkness that is unfortunately increasing with every passing day.
It may seem petty to some, that lies are going to be held against us-especially if they are what we call “little white lies”, but the LORD God does take everything that comes out of our mouths seriously.
In Matthew 12:36-37, there is a chilling statement made by the Lord Jesus Himself that should make us all think twice before speaking out whatever we want to say: “I tell you, on the Day of Judgment people will give account for EVERY careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
In Luke 6:-43-45, the Lord Jesus spoke on how we can know a person by their fruit-whether their character is good or evil; just like the tree that bears either good or bad fruit, so can the person’s intentions in their heart be known by what comes out of their mouth.
Jesus said in vs. 45, “The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.”
If from time to time, we unfortunately ignorantly believed people who lied to us, and/or passed that lie onto others, we should always confess those sins as well, but instead of just giving the benefit of the doubt to people when they tell us something that should have been checked out further, we should “test all things” and be that Berean (Acts 17:11) the Scriptures tell us to be, so we can know the truth (Jn. 8:32) about certain questionable topics or situations.
One of the most important things that we as Christians can do, is make sure we are HEEDING the Voice of the Holy Spirit in our lives throughout the day, and for each and every situation we find ourselves in.
I know it may sound tedious to do, but then again, if the Lord Jesus Christ our Judge is telling us that we are going to be held accountable for all that we have said and done, and for what we have allowed to come into our lives— whether it be good or bad deeds, or good or bad words to influence us— we then should take it more seriously, and put those questionable comments, topics, situations, etc. to the test, before we believe it ourselves, and end up sharing it with others.
Beloved— I cannot stress enough how vitally important it is not only to accept the Lord Jesus into your life, but along with having Him in your life as your Savior, you must accept Him as your LORD and MASTER of your life.
Because as it is 📖written there is both a SPIRITUAL REALM and a PHYSICAL REALM in this universe-we are stuck in an ongoing spiritual battle. Hence the necessity for the Holy Spirit to enter into you, to cleanse and deliver you from the evil, for the spiritual good of your soul and spirit.
HOWEVER— without a true commitment and total surrender of every aspect of your life so that the Holy Spirit can start to work in you— meaning if you do not commit to read, learn, study, meditate on His WORD—in a biblical way, allowing the Holy Spirit to lovingly CHASTISE and CORRECT whatever wrong teachings or practices you were taught or heard about—He cannot completely DELIVER YOU from any and all demonic infestations, influences, etc. that have been in you up until the time of your salvation and new birth in Christ.
SINCERELY ASK the Holy Spirit to help you CONFESS all wrong thinking, lies and deceit of the enemy, ungodly lifestyles, mannerisms, etc. that you have allowed to become part of your life. Plead the BLOOD OF CHRIST over your life, and REBUKE the evil spirits that have kept you bound and in spiritual strongholds up until this point in your life.
Have the Holy Spirit cast out of you all that evil—it may take some time (and a LOT of effort, prayer, and patience on your part)-whether it’s weeks, months, etc— if you commit to having the Lord Jesus, deliver you from any and all sins, HE WILL DELIVER YOU!🙌📖❤️✝️
If you need prayer, guidance, counseling or more information about being delivered from any past sins, etc. please do not hesitate to contact your local parish priest, biblically based pastor, one of the really excellent exorcists like Monsignor Stephen Rosetti, who has online deliverance zoom sessions, or even a deliverance minister like myself. The Lord has equipped some of us to deal with such issues, so we can lend a helping hand in having the Holy Spirit deliver people, and set them free in the name of Jesus!🙏🙌❤️✡️📖✝️🕊️
This parable of the Wheat and the Tares/Weeds has been on my mind for the past week or so. The Holy Spirit has been making me think about it, and I knew the time was coming to have to put a post up and discuss it.
After what happened this past week with both the young Ukrainian woman Iryna Zarutska—SAY her name and do NOT forget what happened to her—and Charlie Kirk—this parable sat heavy on my heart, its burden increasing daily in density and gravity because spiritually, I very well knew where the Lord was going with all of this.
I truly did not want to “go there”, but as Paul the Apostle stated in Philippians 1:23-24 how “I am torn between the two. I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better indeed. But it is more necessary for you that I remain IN the body…”
I have felt the same way for so long; I want to go HOME to Heaven and be with my Creator, Lord, and other family members of the Body of Christ. I want to be at peace, and feel the true love, joy, and finally experience all the magnificent splendor and awe that His Word described that is waiting for all of us who love Him.
BUT—I also know, that the closer that Time gets, the closer to the HARVEST and JUDGMENT we all are. Ugh…
Hence the reason my heart is SO heavy for those who have been so deceived to think that there is no God, no Heaven, no judgment for all their evil words and actions, etc.
Worse yet, for those who seem to be “nice” and somewhat “Christian-like”—but their true colors are finally being seen by all; the Holy Spirit is allowing everything to play out right in front of us—in these LAST DAYS—the hidden things in a person being shown and revealed, and the evil being exposed in them (see Luke 8:17; 12:2).
The Time of the AntiChrist is SOON upon us. IF we are NOT aligned with the LORD JESUS and HIS WORD, Scripture plainly TELLS US that many people who were thought to be a believer in Christ, very well may be a part of that “falling away” (see 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12) and be deceived into following the AntiChrist (see Matthew 24:24; Daniel 7:24-27). As the Apostle John (who also wrote the Book of Revelation) stated in 1John 2:18-21, “…They went out from us, but there WERE NOT OF us; for IF they had been of us, THEY WOULD HAVE REMAINED with us…”
IF that doesn’t make you upset to the point of crying, you better ask the Holy Spirit to remove the spirits of indifference, apathy, callousness, and insensitivity from you. It very well should break all our hearts to know that MANY -billions, even- of human beings WILL be deceived into losing their faith, walking away from the Lord Jesus and His Word, and falling for the lies of the enemy and the one to be called AntiChrist during the Time of the Great Tribulation.
From “Charting the End Times” —Tim Lafayette and Thomas Ice
NOW you know why I have been so heavy-hearted, and crying almost daily, for I know That Day is approaching…
Hence, it is vitally important to understand this parable in Matthew 13:24-30 even more so in these ever-increasing evil days we are living.
The Lord Jesus had to once again this morning, help me understand through my many tears, how NECESSARY it was to have BOTH the good AND evil be brought up and dwell together—the spirits—the angels that sinned, the demonic entities that DO operate within and around the Earth; and the humans that continue to do rebel and defy Him and His Word—ALONG WITH those angels AND other benevolent spirits He created, as well as the humans who DO acknowledge the Triune Godhead and love and honor His ✡️📖✝️Word.
He cannot have one dwell without the other; not since what transpired even BEFORE the Fall of man, when some of His first creation rebelled —the angels-b’ney Elohim-those sons of God who were created to not only serve the Triune Godhead in different capacities, but to also serve and minister to the HUMANS He already planned to create.
EVERY creature the Lord created (even those He didn’t) had to make a choice to either OBEY or REBEL.
Those who OBEY, are the WHEAT. Those who REBEL, are the TARES/WEEDS.
The “reapers” are the ANGELS commanded to gather all those sinners = “TARES”/“WEEDS” who rebelled against the Most High God and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, and never truly accepted Him as BOTH Savior AND Lord of their lives.
The “Harvest” is at the End of Days—the Time allotted by the Most High God to be the CONCLUSION of both mankind and the evil that perpetrated on the Earth by those evil entities that rebelled against Him so long ago.
The LINE has been drawn—several millennia ago. The Free will CHOICE is for every person to choose, whether they will do GOOD or do EVIL.
My tears that I cried this morning, were not because this was the first time hearing about this, nor finally understanding the passage; my tears HAVE been falling almost daily these past several years, BECAUSE I know that we are all running out of TIME, and the LORD God has appointed That Day. I fear for those (including my own flesh and blood family members and others loved ones, friends, and acquaintances that I have made over the years) who have NOT taken the LORD God or His Son Jesus seriously enough, to have their hearts convicted by the Holy Spirit, in order to REPENT in time, TO ESCAPE that dreadful JUDGMENT that is to come upon this Earth.
The TIME🕚 is running out; ⚖️JUDGMENT of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah-JESUS CHRIST-will begin SOON.
EVERY SINGLE HUMAN SOUL that has ever lived, WILL be righteously judged by the Lord Jesus (John 5:22) at the Appointed Time.
Once it begins, it WILL NOT STOP, until the WHEAT is gathered into His Barn, and the TARES/WEEDS are bound up, and BURNED (Rev. 20:11-15).
THIS is my latest YOUTUBE video. I just CANNOT make a short video!! Lord knows I try, but the 20 or so minute video I PLAN to make, turns out to be 50+ minutes.
I hope that you’ll WATCH it, LEARN from it, REALIZE how IMPORTANT it is to NOT BE IGNORANT of God’s WORD, because if we are, that will keep us ignorant of SATAN’S DEVICES and SCHEMES. THAT is how he and the demons keep us in STRONGHOLDS and BONDAGE, that we cannot break WITHOUT THE POWER and AUTHORITY of THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD!
LOOK UP 2 Corinthians 2:11 where Paul TELLS us we are NOT to be ignorant of Satan’s devices. LOOK UP ACTS 20:27 where Paul tells his readers “For I DID NOT SHRINK (hesitate, shun, keep back) from declaring to you the WHOLE COUNSEL of God.”
HEED the WHOLE COUNSEL of GOD, ASK your pastor, priest, messianic Rabbi, etc. to help you understand the things that you still struggle to comprehend in God’s Word; reach out to one of the exorcists or a biblical deliverance minister near you, or contact me so I can try and help you as well.
BOTTOM LINE IS: We cannot “pick and choose” what we want to hear and read out of the Word of God; ALL of it is pertinent and RELEVANT, even for today in the 21st century. We cannot defeat the evil that is increasingly around us, nor can we GROW in our faith walk with Christ, IF we refuse to TAKE GOD AT HIS WORD.
A VERY LONG POST–but I am PLEADING with the Most High God my Father to help you all UNDERSTAND BETTER what is REALLY going on in the SPIRITUAL REALM!!
Genesis 6 tells us that “…the sons of God went into the daughters of men…”—
Genesis 1:26-27 tells us that we were made in the image of the Most High God and his Son, Jesus Christ. The LORD God the FATHER was not speaking to Jesus and the Holy Spirit in that particular verse; He was speaking to the already created sons of God—b’ney Elohim— standing around Him. Gen. 1:27 literally says, “So God created man in his own image.”
Need more proof? Ok.
Let’s go to Genesis 6:4, where it tells us that “The Nephilim were on the Earth in those days, and also AFTERWARD, when the sons of God came into the daughters of man and they bore children to them…”— how much more direct and specific do you need for the Bible to get to accept what the Lord God is saying??
Want MORE proof?? Ok. Let’s go to Genesis chapter 11. “And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built.” Skip to verse 7– the Lord God still speaking here—“Come, let us go down and they’re confused their language so that they may not understand one another speech.” Yarad-ירד in Hebrew (root of verb), in the Qal form of the verb, means “to go or come down”.
Who is the “US” there?
When you PARSE the verb, it is the FIRST Person Cohortative Common PLURAL,
The inflected Hebrew verb of “yarad” there is נרדה. The Greek Septuagint of the same word is καταβάντες -again, meaning “let US go down.”
The answer to the “US” there is found in verse 8–“So the LORD dispersed them from their over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.”
Just like in Genesis 1:26, the Lord God Elohim didn’t need to tell Jesus and the Holy Spirit to come with him and go down there and disperse the people. The Lord God was talking to his servants, whether they were angels, or some other supernatural being that HE created. After Genesis 6, there were beings that roamed about this earth and are still roaming, that HE-the Lord God — did not create. Just wanted to make that little point there.
From Genesis chapter 12 onward for the next several chapters it was all about Abraham, the blessing, the promise, etc.
Jump to chapter 18, where it tells us  How the Lord God appeared to Abraham, and he had two other MEN (Hebrew word אנשּׁים—plural=men) with Him. They all sat down and ate a meal ( verse 8). Once they were done eating that meal, the Lord continued in his conversation as Moses wrote it telling Abraham and Sarah, how they were going to have a child around that time next year. In verse 16, it states, “Then THE MEN set out from there, and they looked down towards Sodom. And Abraham went with them to set them on their way.”
And then the LORD God tells Abraham what he’s about to do in Sodom and Gomorrah “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grave”(vs. 20). The Lord further says in verse 21 that “I WILL GO DOWN to see weather they have done altogether (meaning if they deserve destruction and a complete end), according to the outcry that has come to ME.”
 when you switch over to chapter 19, suddenly inverse one it actually says, “The two ANGELS” -המּלאכים . Apparently, the disgusting vile men who were in plain English, also having sex with young boys in that town saw those angels as MEN— because they told Lot to ”Bring them OUT to us, that we may KNOW (have intercourse) with them.” The men of Sodom and Gomorrah saw those angels as physical men. And Moses even used the plural term, “men” again in verse 10 when they had to …”reach out their hands and bring Lot into the house with them and shut the door.”
So the words “angels” and “men” were used interchangeably in Genesis 19 for the same exact spiritual beings that were with the Lord God=JESUS in a “Christophany” back in chapter 18. 
Obviously, if you know the story, Sodom and Gomorrah, amongst other few cities around there were destroyed. Why? Because of the SIN of perversion and wickedness between the men with each other, with the young boys, and if they had their way, they would’ve had relations with those angels as well. Though some of you don’t believe that angels could be corporeal, because obviously some traditions tell us that— this is why sometimes as much as we love our churches, and traditions, we have to go back to see what the ancient biblical writers said in their texts.
You have to understand that there were times when the Lord God permitted those angels(and that is only one of several different types of spiritual beings and their FUNCTION {messenger, warrior, etc.} that the LORD God created) to be in a PHYSICAL FORM.
Genesis 6 plainly tells us that some of those supernatural beings that were functioned as “angels”— sons of the Most High God — as 2Peter 2:4 and Jude 1:6 put it— they left the positions that the Lord God gave them to do, REBELLED, fell away, sinned, and now those very angels are kept in darkness in chains until the coming of the Judgment Day.
Genesis 11 and Deuteronomy 32:8-9 are where there were other angels delegated to serve humanity in wherever they were dispersed to in this world. Those particular sons of the most high God (about 70 of them) also did not stay obedient, but rather allowed the human beings to start thinking that they were supposed to worship THEM— never correcting the humans to STOP worshiping and serving THEM instead of the Most High God, apparently.
And if you read those two above mentioned passages along with Psalm 82, Psalm 89 and others that I personally have spoken about in my previous posts, the pieces of the puzzle tell you that these sons of God are the ones along with the demonic beings — the “Demi gods”— who have deceived humanity into thinking they are the gods that they’re supposed to worship. READ JONATHAN CAHN’s book—“The Return of the Gods”— for a better and more thorough explanation. You’ll thank me later.
READ either “The Unseen Realm” by Dr. Mike Heiser, or “Supernatural”— a little bit less academic and more reader, friendly version of the book, “Unseen Realm”, to really get into the deeper parts of what I always have been for the last couple of years, been talking with you about when it comes to the spiritual realm.
The other creatures that I mentioned earlier are what we would know today as “Demi-gods”— like Hercules and Perseus from mythology; but I’ve told you more than once that some of that mythology was really based on FACTS. Hence, the reason why I “just so happened” to have been able to take a mythology class and one other Greek and Roman mythology film class while I was at Stockton a few years ago. It was all part of God‘s plan to make me connect the dots to what we thought was myth, and what really is FACTUAL!!
A hard pill to swallow, I understand. I really do. I myself could not get myself to believe all that the late Dr. Rebecca Brown spoke of in her three books almost 4 decades ago when I first read them. Now I am rereading them again and nodding my head, laughing and crying as I read some of the stuff because it has become VERY REAL TO ME  in my faith walk as well!!
But the demons that roam about, seeking whom they may devour, recorded in both the Old Testament and New Testament, had to come from somewhere. They are half angel, half human because of what happened in Genesis 6. Those are the demons that we deal with to this day. They are disembodied spirits looking for a home. That home is the human body. The Lord Jesus spoke about that in Matthew 12:43-45 and Luke recorded it as well in Luke 11:24-26.
So what this gentleman speaks of -who I’ve never seen anything from him before and why the Holy Spirit chose him to use this video—??— does have a lot of information in it, but also needing a little correction, of course as to what he thought were non-corporeal spirits. 
The 👿evil must come from somewhere, folks. The Lord is 📖revealing more and more to us in these last days. The problem is, that most Christians won’t accept it, but they’ll still wonder where the evil is coming from.
So the Lord God gives us answers in His 📖Word, and then we humans sit there and argue and debate with each other, and insist that cannot be because we don’t want to accept it, we’re too afraid of what it says, we in our human minds can’t handle the thought of these invisible creatures roaming about the Earth seeking to devour us, etc.
Whatever your excuse is for not believing God‘s 📖Word, I lovingly suggest that you go to the Holy 🕊️Spirit if you are a Christian, and plead with Him to humble you enough so that you will start to desire to know the whole counsel of His ✡️📖✝️Word.
Stop using the traditions card, stop using whatever church you go to Card, etc. This evil that you see now almost daily will continue to wax worse and worse each and every day.
The Antichrist character that the Bible speaks of will soon be on the world‘s stage. Prophetic events that were recorded both in the Old and New Testament WILL COME TO PASS— whether we like it or not, whether we believe it or not, etc.
As it is written, “EVERY WORD OF GOD PROVES TRUE…”(Prov. 30:5); “Sanctify them (us) in YOUR WORD…” (Jn. 17:17); “The entirety of YOUR WORD is TRUTH” ( Ps. 119:160)— the King James says, “THY WORD IS TRUE FROM THE BEGINNING…”
So that means ALL of ✡️God‘s 📖Word is true, whether we like it or not, or whether we believe it or not.
There are angels, there are other supernatural beings, both good and evil, there are demonic beings that do roam about this earth and —are very much in charge of every single country in this world; they have a hierarchy of supernatural demonic beings and angels that have different skills and abilities and —and they do have leaders — human leaders —that do as they tell them to — or else!!
And all those demonic beings, evil spirits, unclean, spirits, etc. have that leader— that rebellious angel which ONCE WAS an “anointed cherub” (see Is. 14:12-14 and Ez. 28:12-15) who WAS in service of the Most High God. WAS!!
Most people call him Satan, some call him, Lucifer, but I call him the enemy of our souls.  He seeks to devour and destroy every single last human being because as Genesis 1:26-27 tells us, we were made in the image of GOD!!
Be prayerful, be watchful, be sober and alert as the apostle Peter taught us (see 1Peter 5:8-9). RESIST THE DEVIL and his minions!! Do not fear them, but resist them in the faith, power, authority that the Lord Jesus Christ gave to you (see Luke 10:19)!!
Put on the whole armor of God like the apostle Paul spoke of in Ephesians 6:10-18.
Cry out to the Most High God of all the evil that is going on, and how humanity has been so deceived to allow these disgusting vile creatures to come into every single human being, at one point or another to vex us, oppress us, infiltrate us, to make us have obsessions over everything you can imagine, to depress us, and, for those who do not have the Holy Spirit in them—to POSSESS us humans, like they did to this poor young man who had those demons of sodomy, confusion of sex, murder, hate, etc. And ultimately the demonic spirit of DEATH-which Christ Jesus himself defeated at the CROSS!!
But the devil and his minions do not want you to know that — they want you to be full of fear, and fearing death, be full of pride, like they are, and arrogance, so that you will not take the word of God seriously enough to do all that it says in it to do and how to live your life out for the Lord God and his son the Lord Jesus Christ .
That’s the last thing they want you to do!! Because then you will be onto them, and no longer put up with their demonic CRAP (yea, I said it!) — and in the confidence of the Lord Jesus Christ, and not in ourselves, YOU TOO, can stand up against them, rebuke them in the name of Jesus Christ, AND THEY WILL FLEE FROM YOU!!
Protect yourselves, your family, your children, your grandchildren, etc. By sharing the word of God, praying over your loved ones and your friends, pray the powerful spiritual warfare prayers (see Fr. Chad Ripperger’s book -“Deliverance Prayers for the Laity”, for example), or go onto Monsignor Steven Rosetti‘s website— the Saint Michael Center for Spiritual Renewal”— and look at his resources there.
I apologize that this is so long, but when the Holy Spirit puts it upon me to speak to you and share with you, what is most important— I must obey because I love you, and care about you all enough to do so.  
Are you seeking to find out what is the real TRUTH?
Are you tired of the lies, the evil, the disgusting vile destruction the demonic evil ones are plotting against our youth, our nation, and the ongoing corruption of humanity?
The answer is in finding the TRUTH of God’s ✡️📖✝️Word, in its biblical context, the way the Ancient biblical writers desired us to convey their message. And I do mean the COMPLETE biblical message.
IF you truly desire to understand the LORD God and have a RELATIONSHIP with the Lord Jesus Christ, having the HOLY 🕊️SPIRIT live IN you;
If you are WILLING to learn the HARD truths-not watered down, not “politically correct”, not according to certain “traditions“— But according to what the Most High Triune Godhead said it was—
AND—if you are willing to take on some heat and hatred (and a few demonic attacks here and there) from those constantly opposing God’s Word and His ways—
Then JOIN us Truth 📖Tellers of God’s Word, who are servants of the ✡️Most High God, and His Son, our ✝️Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Your life here will NEVER be the same again; but it WILL have an 😉awesome ✨ETERNAL ✨effect.🙏❤️✡️📖✝️🕊️
I just CANNOT make a short video!! Lord knows I try, but the 20 or so minute video I PLAN to make, turns out to be 50+ minutes.
WORD, because if we are, that will keep us ignorant of SATAN’S DEVICES and SCHEMES. THAT is how he and the demons keep us in STRONGHOLDS and BONDAGE, that we cannot break WITHOUT THE POWER and AUTHORITY of THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD!
