God’s Sovereignty

Pray Like Never Before, Beloved, For Those Perilous Times Are Upon Us

Jeannette Elizabeth Geist-MarcelliLeave a comment

I woke up (as usual🙄🤦‍♀️) about two hours or so after I fell asleep. I got up and walked to my desk, and checked my phone; I noticed that there would be thunderstorms coming my way soon (around 2am). I tried to lay back down again, but because of what happened to the REAL President, Donald J. Trump, I could not help but vent to Abba for some time about it.


I know that “perilous times will come” (2 Tim. 3:1)–they are already here, along with the lawlessness that is abounding (Matt. 24:12). All the evil that we who CAN see what truly is going on, is just part of the pieces of the puzzle, that will eventually bring the Anti-Christ onto the world stage, to take over for SEVEN years (Dan. 9:27), bringing on the Tribulation.


What some people, even Christians, do not realize is–the FIRST SEAL OF JUDGMENT IS THE ANTICHRIST.


I am not here to mention anything about the Rapture or how or when it will happen (the Lord Jesus promised us He would take us Home with Him when it was time -Jn. 14:2-3- once He was done “preparing a place” for us), for no one knows that Day or Hour (Matt. 24:36)–just that it WILL eventually HAPPEN.


What I DO want to point out to you, especially to those who DO NOT BELIEVE, is that all who reject Jesus NOW, in 2023, and do NOT humble themselves and REPENT by the Time the LORD allows this FIRST SEAL OF THE 21 JUDGMENTS to be OPENED by the LORD JESUS CHRIST (the Lamb that was slain (Rev. 6:1-2)–those people, who are among our loved ones, friends, other family members, co-workers, etc., WILL BE DECEIVED INTO THINKING that this Anti-Christ IS the one who will save them from the world’s increasing economy and financial problems, social and political issues, etc.


They will end up BELIEVING A LIE–as they do now, by the very DEMONS who have helped them REFUSE and REJECT the Lord Jesus Christ into their lives–that this ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT LEADER–the ANTICHRIST–is going to solve ALL their problems.


🙏I stayed up and prayed for the next couple of hours, rebuking the enemies of our souls, asking the LORD to reveal Himself more to those who are BLIND and DEAF to Him, pleading with Him to do whatever it takes, to take their cold, stony hearts, and turn them into hearts of flesh (Jeremiah 36:26), so that they could SEE and UNDERSTAND that He LOVES them, and wants a relationship with THEM, and that they would finally accept the Lord Jesus into their lives, and ESCAPE the COMING JUDGMENTS.


🙏I ask YOU, dearly beloved, to do the same for your family and friends. Take out even an hour before you go to bed (or do as I did, if you wake up in the middle of the night), and PRAY mighty spiritual warfare prayers to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, asking the Godhead to allow those who still reject Him, to see Him in a new light, taking away the scales from their eyes, and unstopping their deaf ears to His Word, so that they may finally have a chance of eternal Life in and with Christ, for all Eternity.


The LORD is patient, but He WILL finish what He started several millennia ago. And the Time for the End is SOONER than we think.

Mankind Has Ceased to Do Good, Thinking God Will Not See The Sins They Commit

Jeannette Elizabeth Geist-MarcelliLeave a comment

As I am going through the “Lauds” section of prayer today, I was reading this and it sounds just like mankind of today (and pretty much of what Psalm 14:1 echos as well).

It is amazing how BLIND humans are, even those who profess to know God and His Son (Luke 7:21) ; how much evil we allow into our lives, and just ignore it, or think those little vices and sins mean nothing to the LORD…

If sin was not an issue to the LORD God, mankind can live whatever way he would please to, and the LORD would not convict and sentence man to an eternal damnation. Why also then, would He have sent His Son Jesus (Yeshua), to the Earth, taken away from the eternal glory He already had with His Father from the Beginning (Jn. 1:1-4, 14; Colossians 1:13-20) only to be disrespected, rejected, and treated like dirt, even being MURDERED by mankind, if sin wasn’t something that stood in the way of having a relationship with the LORD Most High?

Even the angels who sinned, would have “gotten away” with all of what they have done–Lucifer (Is. 14:12), Samjaza, Artaqifa, Armen, Kokabel, Turael, Azazel, and all the others who rebelled against the Most High (see 1Enoch Chapters 6-8; 15; 66 and also Gen. 3 and 6:1-5), and did abominable acts like deceiving and lying to Adam and Eve, but also procreating with human women, making to themselves offspring who end up being even worse than they were, being half-breeds and beasts who some still now roam the earth (2 Peter 2:4; Jude 1:6); to get themselves not only removed from the Divine Council (Ps. 82:1; Deut. 32:8-9), but forever sentenced to the eternal flames come the Time of Judgment (Ps. 82:6-7; Rev. 20:10-15.

The LORD GOD has a way of allowing man the gift of “free will”–to CHOOSE who he will serve–either those evil ones who have “gifted” to mankind things those rebellious sons of God never should have shared with them, in exchange for their souls, making war, spilling blood, doing more abominable acts than ever before-only to lead to both the angels and the humans’ entrance into the eternal fires–
OR–

Choosing to humble themselves before Him, repenting of their sins and transgressions, accepting the free GIFT of ETERNAL LIFE through His Son Yeshua HaMaschiach, Who suffered, died and rose again, in fulfillment of the Scriptures, in order THAT mankind would have a way back to the Father, and a spiritual REBIRTH (Jn. 3:3, 5, 7) that was lost at the Fall of mankind.

WHICH one will YOU choose?

Will you be like those sons of God who had EVERYTHING — they not only were created like we were, but SAW the Most High, LIVED in GLORY with Him, felt the LOVE and JOY of being with the Triune Godhead–and then gave it all up, and for what? To SIN, only to end up in the eternal flames??🔥🔥🔥🔥

WE have that opportunity to live in ETERNAL GLORY with the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, IF we choose wisely to TRUST and OBEY in His WORD–ALL of it, even if we do not understand it al right now. ALL He wants from us, is to TRUST and OBEY, and LIVE out the life He chose for each one of us.

🙏I pray that you think long and hard on this, because SOON, and VERY soon, That Day WILL come, when the LORD God will have to FINISH what He started here (Is. 24:21-22; Jer. 30:7-8; 46:10; Ez. 30:3-4; Joel 1:15; 3:12-14; Zephaniah 3: 11-13; Rom. 2:16; Matt. 7:22-23; 24:30-31; Jn. 12:48; Rev. 20:8-9). PLEASE do not give in to the desires of the flesh, the world, and the lies that the angels who sinned, and their offspring–the demons–deceive the whole world with!! You WILL end up in the same fires as they, for they ALSO will be judged(2Pet.2:4)!!

CHOOSE LIFE, by choosing to be a child of the ✡MOST HIGH GOD-Adonai Elohim Tz’vaot, and ✝YESHUA, His Son, and by accepting Him into your life, you will then have 🕊RUACH HaKODESH-the HOLY SPIRIT–🔥📖LIVE within you, leading and guiding you TO eternal life, as long as you TRUST Him with ALL your heart, and lean NOT to your OWN understanding (Prov. 3:5-6), as those rebellious sons of the Most High did, and transgressed before the LORD God, and lost all their positions in glory with Him, and are sentenced to an eternal Hellfire.

I put the Hebrew, Greek, and Latin here along with the English, so that you can clearly see it is written in the ancient languages. I use Blue Letter Bible to study these languages, and you would do well to utilize them or Logos for your Bible and ancient biblical language word studies.

Are We In the Time of “The Beginning of Sorrows”?

Jeannette Elizabeth Geist-MarcelliLeave a comment

I put two pics here of Scriptures that have been mentioned, so that you can read and hopefully retain in your heart, what they say.

It is evident of the longer one, that THIS generation (which I am pretty sure is the last; if we are not, then the LORD will spare one more time at least, to move mankind forward into Time, until “the appointed Time” of the End) and the way it has been in the last few years, SO vile, violent, arrogant, full of hatred of God and His Word AND His people, that unfortunately, this prayer of the Psalmist has not been answered.

There are those who have (and still are, thank God!) waking up to realization that we ARE on a increasingly rapid downspiral of humanity. The days of peace, obedience, and love for God and His Son are quickly being diminished, and the days of Sodom and Gomorrah (“as in the days of Lot”-Luke 17:28) and the days of Noah (Luke 17:26), are NOW upon us, and INCREASING.

But you need to read that WHOLE passage in Luke 17:26-30, for in verse 29, because of how the people were behaving in Lot’s day, the LORD God held back His anger no longer, and the day He charged two of His angels to get Lot and his family out of Sodom, “it rained fire and brimstone from Heaven, and destroyed them all” (vs. 29).

THAT is what is yet to come, because verse 30 states, “So it will be on the Day when the Son of Man is revealed.”

The Lord Jesus TOLD us 2000+years ago, that ALL the vile acts that we see INCREASING right now, as we live and breathe on this Earth TODAY, 2023, WOULD happen–and they ARE.

So do you realize what that means??

That means, HE is 100% RIGHT in ALL of His Word. Remember, He IS “THE” Word of God–He cannot leave any of what was to come, “out” just because it may “offend” some people. ALL of it WILL happen, just as the Scriptures said it would.

And it looks like that we ARE that “generation” to see and hear many of these “latter day” events come to pass.

So if you still have doubts about WHO the Lord Jesus is, WHO the Father is, and WHO the Holy Spirit is, and have concerns whether or not the Word of God is REAL–buckle up, buttercup (and I say that with all love and respect-I really do!💖), because

YOU HAVEN’T SEEN ANYTHING YET. We are entering into what is called, “the BEGINNING of sorrows” (Matt. 24:8), which happens BEFORE the time of the great Tribulation. Basically, it is the “woman in labor” and she is “contracting” even more so, as that time moves forward to the coming of the Anti-Christ.

After all, the world’s spiritual atmosphere must be in such a vile and ungodly state, as to want to ACCEPT this “man of sin, son of perdition” (2 Thess. 2:3).

I think we are pretty much “there”…I ended up having my daughter Ashley via c-section (she was breech), but I still was very much aware of the contractions that I should have had. I’d 🤔say this world is between 6-8 (15-20 minutes apart), leaning heavier on the 8(10-15minutes) , especially for what has taken place with all the vile Sodom and Gomorrah acts in the past year or so. It is quickly advancing towards those days of Noah and Lot which each and every passing day here in June, 2023.

Any woman (and I do mean ONLY women!) that has had contractions due to childbirth, KNOWS what I am talking about.
Those last couple of numbers (8-10) can happen very quickly. Bottom line–If you’re approaching contractions less than 5 minutes apart (active labor), you better be on your way to the hospital, or else you’re having that baby at home!

Can you imagine what 6 months from now is going to look like?

Will we approach near the “10” (less than 5 minutes) by that time?
No one knows, but I would seriously get your spiritual life in order now. Once the “birth pangs” start=once those contractions begin, sooner or later that baby is going to arrive on the scene. What has been foretold in such passages as Matthew 24, Luke 21, Mark 13, Daniel 12:1-4, 2 Tim. 3:1-5, 1 Thess. 5:2-5, Isaiah 2:12 (these are but a few).

It will increase in ungodliness, because the Lord Jesus TOLD us to EXPECT more of it, and lawlessness (which we are already living in right now!).

Do yourselves a favor, and make sure that you ARE on the side of the LORD God Almighty, and that the Captain of the Host, Adonai Elohim Tzevaot, is Your Savior, Lord, Master, and KING. Keep Him first and foremost in your lives NOW, from this day forward, if you have been lax in doing so. I beseech you now more than ever, to please make sure the Lord Jesus IS not only Savior, but LORD of your life. 🙏📖✝

So when you DO say, “Lord, Lord”–HE knows you MEAN it, and it is not just words coming out of your mouth (Luke 7:21).

We ARE Spirit, Soul, and Body, in That Order

Jeannette Elizabeth Geist-MarcelliLeave a comment

Every human being who has lived on Earth, is primarily a SPIRIT BEING.

We are 1)SPIRIT, 2)SOUL, 3)BODY, in that order (1 Thess. 5:23).

The LORD GOD Almighty is the FATHER of spirits (Heb. 12:9).

The spirit of a human returns unto the Father when the human’s body has expired (Eccl. 12:7).

The LORD sends it either (now that Christ has been risen from the dead) to the “Hell” portion of Sheol temporarily until both body and soul (Matt. 10:28) will be raised and judged at the White Throne Judgment (Rev. 20:11-15; 21:8), and from there, the spirit, soul, and body of the person will endure eternity in the Lake of Fire;

OR–if the person was a believer in the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, and His Word (granted, 99.9% of all humans living on earth sinned), accepting the Lord Jesus as both Lord and Savior of their life (Rom. 10:9-10, 13; Acts 2:21), and lived a life according to what the Father commanded in His Word, then being a believer, they would “enter in the joy of the Lord (Matt. 25:23). “The one who conquers will have this heritage (Rev.21:3-4), and I will be his God and he will be My son” (Rev. 21:7).

EVERY person who does not only PROFESS Christ as Lord (Matt. 7:21), but actually LIVES the life of a believer, and is NOT ashamed of Him as some are (those who are ashamed of Christ will be like those in Luke 9:26 and Mark 8:38), will be rewarded with not only a new life and Spirit here on Earth (John 3:3,5,7), but will go on to see all that inexpressible beauty and glory that Revelation 21 and 22 speaks about, when it comes to the New Heaven and New Earth.

They get to spend all of Eternity with the Lamb who was slain, and sit at the Marriage Supper (Rev. 19:7,9), because they were part of the Bride of Christ (Eph. 5:24-27), and although a metaphor there in those verses, believers know that they are to keep themselves as spotless (sinless) as they can, when they are presented to the Father by the Son as the “Bride of Christ”. Hence the reason why Paul prays that the believer in 1 Thess. 5:23 will keep their WHOLE spirit, soul, AND body “blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

BUT–the person MUST have a NEW SPIRIT (Acts 4:31; Luke 11:13) dwelling within their spirit in order to have Eternal life. THAT Spirit IS the Holy Spirit, living and dwelling within them. He ONLY dwells within those who have CONFESSED CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR.
1 Cor. 6:19 plainly says that our bodies are to be TEMPLES of the HOLY SPIRIT. He is to teach, guide, correct, and remind us (Jn. 16:13; 14:26) of all that Christ in His Word, wanted us to know and learn.

The world, the flesh, and the devil (James 3:15; 1 Jn. 2:16) has made 99.9% of the human population think it is supposed to be BODY, soul, and spirit (and there are some humans who do not believe in anything spiritual), but it is NOT.

The body of a person becomes a VESSEL for other spirits who never belonged there–demonic entities who found a “crack” due to unconfessed sin in the person’s life, and thereby made themselves “at home” with that person. More can come in if the person is unaware of what is going on spiritually, until that person ends up vexed, obsessed, depressed, oppressed, or-worst of all-possessed. The person ends up in a “spiritual prison” right in their own BODY, being a “slave” to those sins, surrounded by evil entities that will NOT give that body up, until that person either confesses Christ, or those demons kill them off.

Our bodies were meant to be vessels of honor (2 Tim. 2:21) for the Lord Jesus, and the Holy Spirit to dwell within us-NOT dishonor, nor being taken over by evil spirits, who only cause chaos and seek to steal, kill, and destroy the human vessel (Jn. 10:10).

The SPIRIT of a person is the part that goes on to live FOREVER–whether in Eternity with Christ, or in Hell “prepared for the devil and his angels” ( Matt. 25:41), and ultimately, in the Lake of Fire (Rev. 20:11-15). You either are in darkness (evil) or light (Christ).

I am working on a book about the Holy Spirit, and pretty much everything else I can speak about concerning spirits, and how we either allow the SPIRIT of the LIVING GOD into our lives, or else we WILL end up with evil spirits controlling us in one way or another. After all, it IS of the Lord’s doing for me to work on this, as plain as my last name (Geist = spirit), that He revealed to me back in 2018.

I hopefully will be done with that book by the end of this summer, prior to starting my PhD in Bible Exposition.

No matter whether a person believes it or not, we ARE in a VERY SPIRITUAL realm, hidden by much PHYSICAL, earthly “junk” to distract us.

🙏I pray every day for the Lord Jesus to save as many souls from that prison of darkness and evil, and bring them to His light of Eternal life. 🙏Set them free, Lord Jesus; please set those souls free!!

The LORD God IS our ROCK and FORTRESS!

Jeannette Elizabeth Geist-MarcelliLeave a comment

I do “get” what the LORD God is attempting to do—wake every single person up out of the satanic spell we’ve been under since Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate the fruit. I may not like HOW the LORD is doing it, and how much of the evil He is allowing to be infiltrated into our lives right now, but He knows that some will finally “wake up” and realize that this life here on Earth was never supposed to be all that wonderful; especially not after what happened at the Fall—of Angels, and Humans. This is a broken, evil world, and eventually, the Lord needs to destroy it.

Seriously—since then, we lost the power and ability of our higher spiritual “functions”, if you will = close relationship with God, and those of us who have accepted His Son over the last two millennia, still have struggled to live a life that would please Him. The only way to regain some of those higher functions is having a relationship with the Lord Jesus, and NOT the illegal way some others manage to “tap into” those powers. It is ONLY through Jesus Christ. Period. Any other way is satanic and demonically induced.

The rest of the human population is walking around, still under that same Satanic “spell”, and in all reality ARE “the walking dead” – spiritually. They are very OPEN (and most do not know it!) to the very LEGAL demonic doorways in their lives, and every evil entity that finds a “legal” doorway, takes it. Hence the reason why there are more and more immoral people out there, saying and doing things that we never thought in our lifetime we would see or hear, but it’s happening!!

LAWLESSNESS IS abounding, as the Lord Jesus stated (Matt. 24:12). We cannot go hide under a rock somewhere and pretend it’s not going on!! We cannot go on with our own lives, and IGNORE the truth of the amount of evil there is, because ONE day, it very may well catch up with US, or someone we love and care about (esp those who do NOT have the Lord Jesus in their lives!)!

The only ROCK we should be clinging to, is the LORD God Almighty! HE is our ROCK, our fortress, and our deliverer!! (2 Sam. 22:2-3; Ps. 18:2)! HE alone is the ROCK of our salvation (Ps. 95:1)! He is our REFUGE (Ps. 62:7). We should remind ourselves that we ARE to be that “light” (Matt. 5:14; Jn. 1:5)to all those who are in the darkness (evil)! TELL them (and let us remind ourselves as well!) that The LORD lives, and blessed be our ROCK, and exalted be the God of OUR salvation! (Ps. 18:46)

If WE do not tell them, beloved—if WE do not INFORM and WARN them now, we WILL answer to the Judge of all the Earth (Gen. 18:25) for it. IF they refuse—If they choose NOT to REPENT, and go further into the evil that is increasing every day here (and the LORD God is allowing it for a reason!!), it eventually will destroy them.

Let us do our part to continue to inform and warn everyone, and tell them that they DO have a choice—and that choice is to accept the ROCK of AGES (Is. 26:4) into their lives—Jesus Christ!! HE is the ONLY way a human being is to avoid what is soon to come upon the Earth, and also, eternal damnation and destruction.

Let the LORD be Your Refuge and Strength

Jeannette Elizabeth Geist-MarcelliLeave a comment

It is a very rare thing for me to write a poem, but this just flowed out of me minutes ago, after reading today’s Days of Praise devotional, and the Scripture verses that went along with it. It truly is from the Holy Spirit.
🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
When we see and hear all that is going on in the world today,
and it literally shakes us to the core,
we must keep in mind what the LORD God has said in His Word
That He is with us forevermore.

He will never leave nor forsake us,
Those who have believed on His Word,
He will strengthen, guide, and protect us
And take us Home with Him as He said.

So take heart, child of God
Your Savior sees and knows all that is going on,
And at the precise moment of the Father’s bidding,
The Bridegroom’s Bride from the world will be gone.

The LORD is our refuge and strength,
He is our Redeemer as well,
He is willing to save any and all who call upon His name
From the eternal fires of Hell.

So call upon the name of the LORD
Make your salvation in Him sure,
Because every Word of God will come to pass,
This evil will soon no longer endure.

From today’s Days of Praise devotional:
April 6, 2023
Our Refuge
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea.” (Psalm 46:1-2)

“The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble” (Psalm 9:9). What a comfort it is, in these days of turmoil and opposition, to know that our Lord is “a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat” (Isaiah 25:4).

Our refuge is strong and secure. The psalmist testifies, “I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust” (Psalm 91:2). Then God answers: “Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; there shall no evil befall thee” (Psalm 91:9-10, and see also vv. 10-13).

Not only does our refuge provide safety and protection, but no other refuge will do. After identifying our refuge by the words “Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste [or be ‘alarmed’]” (Isaiah 28:16), God warns that those who refuse His true refuge will receive instead His “judgment,” for He “shall sweep away the refuge of lies” (Isaiah 28:17).

The apostle Peter, fresh from his personal encounters with his risen Lord, confronted the Jewish leaders with their serious error of rejection. “This is the stone which was set at nought of you” (Acts 4:11). In his charge, however, he included the precious truth “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (v. 12). Our refuge, our sure foundation, is none other than our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to whom we have “fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us” (Hebrews 6:18). JDM

Honor From Men, or To Honor God?

Jeannette Elizabeth Geist-MarcelliLeave a comment

Rich or poor, single or married, male or female, old or young.
It does not matter where you are from;
It does not matter what color you are.
It even does not matter what faith you hail from, or have no belief.
What DOES matter, is that One Day, you WILL be in front of The One Who created you.
You will stand before Him.
He WILL judge you righteously.
It does not matter to HIM that you may not believe that will happen; it will STILL happen.

That Day is getting closer.
These messages and warnings will continue to go out, to all who “have an ear to hear what the Spirit says to the churches” (Rev. 2:7,17).

The Time is getting shorter; the days are hastening to the End of Days.
There IS an End, for there was a Beginning.
Are you ready? Is your soul ready?

Or are you going to dismiss this one as well and call me and the others who warn, “a nut”, “crazy”, “Bible thumper”, etc.?

Say what you want of me; I do will of my Father and my King. I take no orders from man, nor do I serve him any longer.
As it is written, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven” (Matt. 6:10).
His will WILL be done, whether man agrees with it or not.
Where do you stand with Him?
Make sure you are on the side of the King, and not on the side of the ones who rebelled against Him.
Their sentence is eternal death.
Do you wish the same?

Remember what is written, “Not everyone who says to Me, “Lord, Lord”, will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but the one who DOES the will of my Father Who is in Heaven” (Matt. 7:21).
Do you wish to do the will of man, so you may have honor from them? Are they in charge of where your soul ends up? Can they even save themselves? Certainly not.

Where do you stand with Him?
Where WILL you stand on That Day—on His left,
Or on His right? (Matt. 25:33,41; Eccl. 10:2)

We Are Truly Living In The “Valley of the Shadow of Death”

Jeannette Elizabeth Geist-Marcelli1 Comment

I saw a devotional this morning, that spoke about how we have peace with the LORD God when we are awake, but especially, when we lay down to sleep. It quoted Psalm 4:8, and the prayer taken from it that my Godmother Helen used to have us kids to say before we were put to bed each night when I visited my cousins—“Now I lay me down to sleep…”.

But the verse that stood out to me this morning was from Psalm 23:4. As I read the verse over and over again, the words “valley of the shadow of death” resonated within me. For David, who had many enemies, being under attack by his king, and even by his own son at one point, I can see how this Psalm poured out of his soul and onto paper.

I looked up the verse, and the specific word צלמות “salmavet”, which in Hebrew is “of the shadow of death”. It is also defined as “death-shadow” (of distress, extreme danger), “deep shadow”, and “deep darkness” (of place of the dead). Even though they are mostly used figuratively, I sense there is a more literal meaning of it than we would like to admit.

This world has become more and more “the valley of the shadow of death”. In fact, I dare say that literally walking in this world right now IS like walking through the “shadow of Death”—the same Death that is mentioned in Revelation 20:14–the Greek word for death being θάνατος = “Thanatos”, the name for the ancient Greek god of Death (in Rome, the god was “Mors”). Thanatos may sound familiar, since in recent years the Avengers movies had a supervillain character named “Thanos” which first appeared in the Marvel comics. He most certainly lived up to the name in those movies.

Some other Bible verses that include “the shadow of death” or the other definitions of it are in Psalm 107:10–“There were those who dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death, Prisoners in misery and chains…” Boy, does that sound a lot like the people who basically are the “walking dead” on this Earth right now, who deny the very GOD who allows them to still have BREATH in their lungs.

Another verse is from Matthew 4:16 which is taken from Isaiah 9:2, “The people that walked in darkness (חשׁך)- kho-shek’, which means “darkness, obscurity”; “darkness”, “secret place”, “death”, “misery”, “IGNORANCE”—!, “sorrow”, “wickedness”. Hmm, very interesting how that is “figuratively” used, because the way our world is right now—actually, it has BEEN that way, but MOST of us have been ASLEEP, eating the “Lotus cookies” (some of you will 😉get that), busy with our own lives, not paying attention to what really has been going on in the world, both physically and SPIRITUALLY.

We human spirits have partaken in “panem et circenses”—“bread and circuses—a WHOLE lot of distraction from what has really gone on in this world—the work of the evil ones who “steal, kill, and destroy” (John 10:10)—the HUMAN PUPPET AGENTS of SATAN who have continued his work for millennia, because he vowed to himself to take as many with him as possible to the Pit and ultimately, to “the LAKE WHICH BURNETH WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE; which is the SECOND DEATH” (Rev. 21:8). That “second death” is WORSE than the first, because it is PERMANENT and ETERNAL.

WHAT needs to happen if one wants to avoid that “valley of the shadow of death”? You cannot avoid that, for WE ALL who are living ad breathing, are walking IN that valley right NOW—it is HERE on EARTH; it IS EARTH. Hence the reason why David wrote it the way he did, “Even though I WALK THROUGH the valley of the shadow of death”; David realized he was IN that valley throughout his lifetime. This entire life is about HOW to walk through that valley of death, misery, destruction, evil works, etc., and come out FROM it, with the help of the ONLY ONE Who can “deliver us from evil” (Matt. 6:13) that we see, hear, smell, touch, and taste of every single day of our lives. THAT Person is within the Eternal Triune Godhead—the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Lord Jesus DEFEATED Hell and Death (very real evil spirits) at the Cross, and OWNS the keys (Rev. 1:18)!! He is the ONLY ONE Who was RESURRECTED, and because of His victory at the Cross, as Paul stated in 1 Corinthians 15:55, “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” The Lord Jesus has made a way back to the Father—the ONLY way, for He IS “the way, the truth, and the LIFE” (Jn. 14:6), and there is NO OTHER WAY out of eternal DARKNESS, the shadow of DEATH, or DAMNATION, except one who acknowledges Jesus as LORD and SAVIOR of their life (Romans 10:9-10,13).

If you want out of the “valley of the shadow of death”, you first must REPENT (Ez. 14:6; 18:30; Matt. 3:2; Mk. 1:15; Lk. 13:3,5; Acts 2:38; 8:22). The Lord Jesus warns once again of what will happen if people do not repent of their sins and wickedness: “Therefore, repent. If not, I will come to you SOON and war against them with the sword of My mouth” (Rev. 2:16). The “sword” IS His Word, and He, Jesus, IS THE WORD OF GOD.

SEEK the Lord and His Word out. BE HUMBLE and ASK Him to forgive you of your sins, and LIVE as a child of the King, Who WILL hold your hand and walk WITH you, “through the valley of the shadow of death” here, UNTIL the “appointed time” (Dan. 8:19; 11:35; Hab. 2:3; for Him to come back and “redeem His people” (2 Sam. 7:23; Job 5:20; Ps. 69:18; Is. 50:2; Jer. 15:21), and I will end with Hosea 13:14a: “I SHALL ransom them from the power of Sheol; I SHALL REDEEM them from DEATH…”

It is Near…WAIT for it

This message is both a warning to those who continue to do evil, to STOP NOW, and for those who wait on the LORD—get ready, for He has NOT forsaken you! Keep your lamps trimmed with oil, and your minds focused on Him. Continue to PRAY for the the lost, and hope, for the best IS yet to come for all those who have waited upon the LORD.
