I think enough time has passed

Concerning Charlie Kirk

My heart, sympathies, and prayers go out to the family of Charlie Kirk, I ask that the Lord give his wife and children solace in their time to grief and loss.

I’m not going to write much about the man Charlie Kirk, he accomplished much good for the faith, for this country, and ideas and life had positively influenced millions, directly and indirectly.

Not having met the man personally, I did on occasion listen to him online. I was impressed with his passion and strengths, but like all humans he had his shortcomings. One of the primary reasons I didn’t concern myself with his work was his unwavering support for political zionism.

I’m not anti-jewish nor anti-religious zionist, Our Creator was the very first official Zionist as expressed in Psalms 2


6. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7. I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

There are dozens of verses referencing Zion as Holy as well as being the habitation and throne of the Messiah, the Son of GOD. So anyone who wants to throw out a senseless label 🏷,  go away dumb dumb.

I didn’t and still do not agree with the modern iteration of political zionism. I think it’s taken the nation of Israel in the wrong direction. It’s attempts at manipulation of foreign sovereign nations through blackmail and other means to me is sickening.

The wholesale genocide and atrocities being committed against others is at some point, going to draw down the wrath of the Almighty.

The jewish faith and people of Hebrew descent do have a place in the coming of the Messianic Age but they’re going to go through judgment just like everyone else before that Age arrives. Modern day Israel (which includes people of various faiths and ethnicities living in political Israel) is not above reproach, they are human as well and make mistakes. Their histories as recorded in the Old Testament record their continual screwups.

Across generations the descendants of Jacob continually fell away from their faith, they turned their backs to their God, they were judged, punished, they repented and were forgiven. Israel wasn’t perfect then and it isn’t perfect now.

Israel, like every country, has the inherent right to defend itself, it’s people, and nation against others, but that doesn’t confer the right to commit genocide.

Here I’ll let Charlie Kirk expand on that thought which I agree with him completely here.

Scripture of the Day 

Galatians 1


15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,
16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.

Here we read that after Paul’s conversion, after he regained his sight he tells us he went to Arabia for three years. Yes there will be Neverending arguments whether Sinai was considered part of Arabia in Paul’s day, I’ll give this link for my opinion, Arabia in Paul’s time. With that said, why or where in Arabia did he go?

Personally, I think he went to Arabia to be taught about Christ by Christ himself.

Paul’s ministry, his style of communicating and the breadth of his ministry is astounding. He and the 12 apostles who knew Jesus changed the world in ways no others have. Their faith in a risen Savior, their love and humility, and their perseverance through persecution set the world fire with the Spirit of God.

To know more simply open a New Testament and ask God for wisdom to know Him. I’m sure your heart and mind will learn much that will change your life.

Thoughts on the incoming Administration

America has the appearance of being fractured socially and politically into various clicks and groups, each vying with and against one another. Yet one thing I saw this cycle on the maps anyway, was red or republican majority covered more than 90% of this country, save for those traditional locations of socialist-progressives, that being Metropolitan areas.

So with this election cycle the majority of people seem to have rejected the socialist-progressive mandates and authoritarianism.

Or have they?

After watching and experiencing the fake-covid mania sweep across the country and the world I have little faith in citizens or mankind in general. First being the biblical concept of the heart of man being deceitful above all things and desperately wicked, also the outright inability of people to think for themselves, they will believe anything, as their mind conceives as a “benevolent governments”, tells them. Masking works…not, six feet distance works…not, the Vax works…not…. shutdowns and isolation, it was all fake. Millions of jobs were lost, businesses shut down, lives lost or ruined and destroyed, all because the majority believed the lies.

Now we stand at a precipice of this country, the Don has a mandate and at face value I agree with most of it. But if you look deeper you’ll soon realize he and his handlers are as fake as the opposing party. The left wanted authoritarianism but their extremes of societal norms are to far for most citizens to accept. The right, hands down, brings authoritarianism into existence by appealing to the more normal values of society at large and passes the repulsive laws the left is incapable of passing. It’s all theater and showmanship, the left becomes the antithesis of society then the right has a mandate to push back. One example is illegal immigrants, the left allows them to flood the country, the majority of people want safe protected borders and communities. With the illegals the right now has a mandate to deport, as stated by the Don and his incoming Administration… sounds good, it’s been done before. Then looking at their proposals it includes biometric identifications, internment camps, possible induction into military service in exchange for citizenship and on it goes. All of these ideas are conditioning of the population for a surveillance society, worse than what we have now.

If anyone thinks these measures will stop with illegals I have a bridge to nowhere for sale. It was the right that created the Patriot Act 1 & 2, the NDAA which allows indefinite detention of American citizens, it was a republican administration that brought us the lockdowns, the fake covid and fake Vax that’s killing millions. Now with 90% of the country leaning red and this incoming Administration leaning toward authoritarian measures do you think the citizens are going to deny the Don his moment? The Don wants revenge, not for justice but for his narcissistic mindset. If he wanted justice for the sake of justice and reforming and/or purging the system then I’d be praising his efforts, but knowing the narcissistic mindset it’s hard to fathom him doing right for rights sake. The left continued the rights atrocities with their asinine mandates.

What we are seeing is a left/right march into tyranny and the majority of citizens will march right along supporting the efforts of authoritarianism.

Most self-professed Christians seem to be entranced with the Don and are slobbering over his footsteps. Society seems to think the Don will be America’s savior, Savior, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but he isn’t. Yes God put him there for a reason. What was that reason? In my mind it’s to show those self-righteous folks on the right that they aren’t any better than the soulless husks of the left. Sin is sin regardless of what foot is stepping. When the right introduces tyranny  under the guise of national security they’ll soon realize many of their own will be heading to to camps as well.

Do I think things will get better? Nope. The economy/financial markets will crash, in the fear they’ll introduce some type of endtimes beast financial system based on biometrics. A semblance of peace will come but then war, death, real disease and famine and death and hell following. Yes I do think we are in the prelude to the biblical defined tribulation period defined in Daniel and Revelations.

Revelations 3:1… These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
2. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
3. Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
4. Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
5. He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

Lost in Time

There are times when your heart and mind seems to get lost in the morass of everyday trivialities, whether you begin to be numbed by the increasing waves of news and fake narratives constantly being thrown in your face or just the repetitious workloads required to just make a living in todays inflationary world. Sometimes it’s necessary just to step back and disengage from the world, to give both your mind, body, and spirit a little respite.

Being a Christian and have a Biblical worldview I always revert to my guidebook when “things” in life need clarification, whether through the Wisdom provided by Scripture or just the assurances we as believers have.
In Romans 12:2. “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
In 2 Corinthians 4:15. “For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
16. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
18. While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.”

In these verses I found some proverbial succor in my time of need. In a renewing of my mind I find in Romans 12:2 the admonition to not conform to this world, ie. not giving in to the anger or bitterness and outright sin that permeates so much of todays society. By renewing our mind we can be prepared to assertively prove what is the good, acceptable, and perfect will of GOD.
Some will cry out that you cannot know the perfect will of GOD… To those I point to Romans 12, if Paul taught believers they could then why can’t we also?
Knowing the will of the Father for our lives is a growth type of event, like an earthly father letting their children grow and learn, teaching them as the need teaching, but loving them enough to let them learn life at their own pace without spoiling them.
In 2 Corinthians 4, I find in verse 16 and 17 that regardless of our physical conditions, whether be disease or persecution or just extremely bad events in life, as our outward man of flesh will perish daily our inward man, our soul is renewed day by day. Whatever it is that numbs our life, dulling our senses or our heart, we can overcome that dulling of our spirit daily by turning to our Savior Jesus the Christ. This is renewing is done through both an active prayer life and reading of Scripture, also through continually sharing the Gospel with a fallen world.
As believers we should remember that everything in this world will pass away but we live forever in Christ. In whatever condition this body is in our inward man remains faithful.

The world wants people to be focused on their version of civilization, thinking that civilization is what lasts, but as believers we need to remember that the civilisations of this old world will perish and that it’s man that will last, eternally with the Father.
Both you and I are eternal beings as are all other people we meet and interact with. When you look into the eyes of your newborn child or dying parent you’re looking into the eyes of an eternal being. Graced by GOD to live forever, either in His presence as a believer and faithful child or not in His presence as a rebellious and wicked person.
Christians are taught in Scripture that regardless of our condition in this life its just a pin prick of time compared to the life coming after this temporal tent we call a body is gone.
I’ll end with this audio from CS Lewis…

Things that use to be

There was a time, not so long ago, that communities and families would celebrate Holidays in a near traditional manner. For Easter they would remember Good Friday represented the death of Jesus the Christ. They would have various services denoting the death, burial, and resurrection of the Son of God. Families would take time for gatherings or picnics, egg hunts or other games. Families actually once existed to spend time together expressing love for each other as they felt appropriate.

Nowadays they either spend time playing internet-based games or on internet-based social networking. Some watch their sport and almost all ignore the true meaning of the season, that being Jesus our Savior.

I haven’t posted in months due to wordpress shadowbanning and i was looking at other platforms such as substack, but their payment arrangements with Stripe has gone full censorship deepstate retard, meaning they aren’t paying their writers if they violate stripes vague community standards.
I tried Gab but thats just an Intel honeypot as is Bastyon.
Twitter/X with Elon is a pay to get noticed site, instagram is as fake as fakebook.
Whatsapp and telegram I have no interest in.
It seems the internet-based social networking is coming apart at its seams.

There was a time when fakebook was clean and easy to utilize for networking but Suckerburg and his Intel provocs screwed that up.

So I’ll keep A Layman’s Discourse alive as long as the Lord allows.

Musings

Starting off this day at 0500 with some prayer and thoughts, I thought I’d comment on a few things I’ve been keeping up on in the news. Primarily the Israeli Palestinian war.
Through the years, I’ve always tried to stay abreast of events in the Middle East, if for nothing more than a morbid curiosity of prophecy as it may relate to current events.

Yes, I grew up with a dispensationalist/pretribulational perspective of Scripture and eschatology. I’m not going to say after 43 yrs of accepting Christ as my Savior that I agree with either perspective in its entirety, although I do utilize those views and others when I interpret Scriptures and its relationship and understandings in my daily walk with my Savior.
Concerning the current events unfolding in both the Middle East and here at home I believe that Believers need to be putting their proverbial “house” in order because I do believe these events are leading us into those dark days known as the endtimes or last days.
I know most claiming the mantle of Christianity are drooling at the thought of an endtime scenario thinking they aren’t going to be here but raptured away into safety and that they won’t see any of what’s referred to as the tribulations that will manifest as the endtime events unwind. This view is generally referred to as a pretribulational eschatology, one I do not subscribe to. I lean towards the prewrath view that believers will be raptured out before the last set of judgments begin.

For those drooling over the rapturing of the Church, I think they may be putting the cart before the horse, so to speak. Primarily because they have been lulled into that escapist mindset that they won’t have to endure any hardships associated with the endtimes scenario, also referenced in some circles as the Day of the LORD. In Joel chapter 2, we read this concerning that particular day,
2. A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.

Also in Zephaniah 1 we read these words:
14. The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
15. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
16. A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.
17. And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.

So that Day of the LORD isn’t going to be simply a day of feasting and joyous reunions, it’s going to be a horrible day of judgments and retribution, desolation and wasting away with the deaths of untold millions.

Yes, I do understand those suffering during these times will be unbelievers, but it must also be understood what the Father said in Ezekiel 33:11. Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
GOD is a GOD of not only love but holiness and righteousness, too. These last two attributes give HIM the sole authority to judge and punish wickedness.

Also in Ezekiel 18:23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?

In these two verses alone we can see the Father’s will expressed in that HE doesn’t find any pleasure in the wicked dying but that they should turn away from their wickedness “or in christian vernacular repent“.

Yes, believers should continually say “Come quickly Lord Jesus” and be looking for and rejoicing when that day occurs, but we also need to understand it’s going to be filled with sorrow because of the loss of life those lost souls going to he’ll.

In Heaven believers are going to have stand before that one man who never sinned, Jesus the Christ, and give an account for not reaching out to others with the message of redemption as stated in 2 Corinthians 5:10. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

So while the events in the Middle East have our attention and some believers are desirous of a fulfillment of prophecy there, personally I refrain from wishing that end result of a lost world, although it may be deserving of it.

Please try and reach all of those within your circle of influence with the Good News of forgiveness and redemption through Jesus the Christ, if the Spirit impresses upon your heart if they continually spurn the message of the Cross, then shake their dust off and try to reach others with the message of Christ.

As we read in John 14:6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me

There is no other way to the Father, Jesus himself admitted such. No Mohammed, no Buddha, no witchcraft, no neopaganism, nothing except by Jesus.

Have a blessed day.

Scripture of the Day

John 8


12. Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
13. The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
14. Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
15. Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16. And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17. It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18. I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
19. Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.

Throughout His ministry our Saviors primary detractors were the religious hypocrites in positions of authority, the educated, those religious wealthy and leaders who always appeared righteous but were inwardly full of death and darkness.

In our day we have the same and similar groups taking a stand against righteousness, people who profess knowing GOD but have never known Him.

Religious leaders around the world, of all faiths, are following the dictates of corrupt governments, turning in those who stand against the Governments narrative of fear and lies. Churches shut their doors because they were ordered to while liquor stores remained open. Whether it was masking 😷 or the mRNA shots the world, including Christianity bought into the fear porn of something that has a 99.7% survival rate.

Am I taking this in an awkward direction, not really, because the belief system of those who follow the dictates of the Covid narrative do so with a mind that is deceived with half truths and outright lies. They blindly follow whatever the narrative is with what some could define as faith based assumptions.

Those faith based assumptions are whatever the talking heads are screeching in their ears 👂at the moment.

So in regards to the Scriptures noted above, Christians are being separated, the wheat from the chaff, the world is being separated also, the mindless from those who could respond to the Gospel.

A Great Winnowing in occurring and we are witnessing it, if you do not have a personal relationship with Jesus the Christ I would recommend that you begin praying for the Lord to open your heart to His Spirit.

Scripture of the Day

John 2


13. And the Jews’ passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
14. And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
15. And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;
16. And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.

Most Pastors today do not seem to be able to reconcile the fact that Jesus, coming first as a servant/king, would be capable of such intolerance of others religious views that He would turn to violence. The fact is simple, righteous indignation has its place. The only people Jesus vocally condemned were self-righteousness hypocrites. He also warned against unbelief ie sinners, giving parables and examples of how sinners are to repent, but He never used violence except against those who abused their station in religious circles.

The Father is Love, not just the feeling type but as a noun, living in Christ is living inside of what love actually is. He is our everything, our love, our joy, our safety, our peace, our GOD.

With The Father’s love also come righteousness ond holiness. It’s because of these latter two that righteous indignation exists with the Father and the Son. The violence by GOD exhibited throughout the Old Testament and this recorded example here shows us again the why and when violence or righteous indignation is necessary.

Bless God and may He bless you today.

Early Uppers

For years now I’ve been waking before the alarm fires off its annoying sounds. I guess one becomes conditioned through the years, I don’t really know although I consider it a blessing because I do find myself thanking GOD and doing my morning prayers as I begin my day.

Being an early upper allows for more time to begin whatever routines one may have, mines pretty basic, get up, prayer & reflection time, wash off, get dressed, get coffee, drive…. ’bout it. After 31 yrs of sitting behind a windshield and over 3 million miles I’m beginning to think my wandering days are kinda coming due for some closure.

My 31 foot liveaboard sailboat is down in the Carolinas and that sealonging is starting to tighten its grip on my heart and mind.

Getting my affairs in order on land has taken its own sweet time, some of it was due to me, some to work and other external events that had to take their due course to finish. But now that next chapter is about to start, I’m praying the Lord will bless the coming move and use it for His glory.

And to close with Psalm 37
4. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

Bless GOD and may He bless your day.

1st Post of 2023

Nuttin’ ta see here ‘cept scripture versus an a couple clumsy blurbs ’bout morals an stuff. Gittin tired of politic’en, ain’t much else can be said bout that since folks been warn’n ’bout moral collapse for a hun’nerd yrs now.

Luke 18:9. And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10. Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Most church goin’ folks an holiday christians probably fit into the first example there, thinkin’ their devout because of what they do and “who” they think or feel they are. When in truth those they despise and gossip about are probably closer to the Lord.

Humble yourself before the Lord and ask to be forgiven and God will show His mercy.

11:11

Jeremiah 11:11. thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.

US CBDC, Some Thoughts

Let’s start with verification of the US’s approach to digital coins. Just a note, a CBDC is Central Bank Digital Coin. It’s going to be a Central banks version of Bitcoin based on what they refer to as blockchain.

Executive Order 14067 (/executive-order/14067) of March 9, 2022 Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets

Here we have a quietly signed Executive Order that gives certain entities in government orders to study, formulate, and execute that plan to force the use of digital assets into our economy, people, and nation. This can be seen in section 4.b.

(b) Within 180 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the Director of National Intelligence, and the heads of other relevant agencies, shall submit to the President a report on the future of money and payment systems, including the conditions that drive broad adoption of digital assets; the extent to which technological innovation may influence these outcomes; and the implications for the United States financial system, the modernization of and changes to payment systems, economic growth, financial inclusion, and national security. This report shall be coordinated through the interagency process described in section 3 of this order.

These people want this and need control of digital assets, why? For no other reason than control. Digital assets or coins are the final steps into their much vaunted Great Reset. There was a story a few months ago that stated 94% of the world’s central banks are moving to CBDC’s. So whether you believe it or not, you’re going to be forced into this new financial system or you’ll be forced to move to the periphery of society and exist as best you can or you’ll be ridiculed and jailed for some imagined violation of their new system.

Governments will know everything you do with their CBDC’s, if you are a compliant citizen then you’ll receive some type of reward, if you’re not and to independent your money will be restricted. Some will think this isn’t going to happen when it already is. In China they deny jobs and travel to people with low social credit scores, in the US and Europe you’re deplatformed if you go against the Governments narrative. Across the world critical medical services are denied to people who remain unvaxxed.

Here we also have a glimpse of their projected timeline as contained in Section 4

(d) The Attorney General, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, shall:
(i) within 180 days of the date of this order, provide to the President through the APNSA and APEP an assessment of whether legislative changes would be necessary to issue a United States CBDC, should it be deemed appropriate and in the national interest; and
(ii) within 210 days of the date of this order, provide to the President through the APNSA and the APEP a corresponding legislative proposal, based on consideration of the report submitted by the Secretary of the Treasury under section 4(b) of this order and any materials developed by the Chairman of the Federal Reserve consistent with section 4(c) of this order.

So 210 days from March 9th…. this corresponds to the end of their fiscal year in October.

For the citizens to accept US CBDC’S those in power have to create an environment where they’ll be accepted and accessible to the masses of mindless drones. The only way to do this is a manufactured crisis, the one way to push this is a financial and economic collapse of the current monetary and economic systems, then from the ashes and chaos from their manufactured crisis they submit their fix, the CBDC’s.

Some may think this could be acceptable and millions will willingly accept this not knowing its the foreshadowing of something much darker, that being a quote from Revelation 13:
16. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

CBDC’s are going to be implemented regardless of what you think, they’re going to be one of the cornerstones of the new economic orders, some refer to this reallocation as the Economic Beast System of that leader called the Antichrist.

The Endtimes environment will have a three tiered system; religious, political, and economic. CBDC’s or the coming Mark will be part of all three of those systems. The mark will be used for religious identification and acceptance of their political and economic authority and it will be required to participate in their system.

These are my thoughts based on my understanding of prophecy and current events.

Thanks and God bless.

Scripture of the Day

2 Corinthians 12


6. For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
7. And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
8. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
9. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Scripture of the Day

Philippians 2


3. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6. Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7. But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8. And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Scripture of the Day

Romans 10


9. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15. And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16. But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17. So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
