Welcome~

Hello and Welcome~


The world is blind to these SEVEN, pivotal facts:

1. The Bible communicates Heaven’s 'multi-millennial, strategic plan for humanity'.

2. There are SEVEN ages appointed for humanity.

3. We are nearing the end of the THIRD age, a pivotal turning point in this strategy.

4. A GREAT falling away from the Christian faith is predicted during the ending days of this THIRD age, as a result of backsliding and general lukewarmness among the heretofore faithful. Look around and this you will clearly see.

5. Biblical prophecies have been and remain seeds of human history.

6. Yet-fulfilled prophecies, unfolding apace, are worthy of diligent study.

7. Now is the time to get and stay on ‘the right side of Bible prophecy’.

Anti-Semitism (Poem)

Explained:

Anti-Semitism. Tribalism or racism?

A term that’s been seriously hijacked?

A basis for conspiratorial activism?

A spiritual plot shaping the ages since Adam?

What can we learn if this term is unpacked?

Could examination of this term …change the paradigm?


Like me, have you wondered why this expression,

Isn't about tribalism or just plain ole racism?

Or why this unique term is saved …for Jews alone?

Consult a dictionary definition,

You'll see anti-Semitic, is an anachronism,

Since ‘Semitic’ isn't only owned …by Jews alone! 1


Like all tribal or racial groups, Jews have long suffered,

Prejudicial persecutions of one kind or another.

Ditto with ethnic and faith groups of every kind!

So what’s unique in that with which Jews are encumbered?

The answer to this key question was l-o-n-g ago uncovered,

In a Bible story that’s still on The Lord’s Mind.


Exposed:

The story is of a ‘woman’ in labor with a child,

A male Who one day would rule the entire world.

And ready to devour the babe, an evil spirit leader,

Who from his top leadership position had been exiled,

And as a result, down to Earth had been hurled.

After the babe’s birth, to the wilderness the woman escaped.


Into Heaven her babe was caught-up.

Into the wilderness, the deposed leader threw-up,

Much water ‘like a flood’, the woman to wallop.

Unsuccessful, he was so distraught,

That he turned his attention to the saints to screw-up,

Till when by the (grown-up) babe, he would be locked-up!


Further details of this story, so retrospective,

Are found in Revelation chapter 12,

About how the ‘woman’ escaped her tormenter,

And about Heaven’s and Earth’s responses, protective.

I urge you into this chapter to delve.

I’ll summarize it for …un-discerning readers. ;o)


The ‘woman’ is Israel, and the babe is Jesus.

The deposed leader is satan who led a coup in Heaven,

And was cast out with his …‘coup associates’.

The suffering of Israel has since been grievous,

For being chosen long ago as The Lord’s …‘birthright nation’.

Thus Jews and the saints are satan’s top targets!


he especially tempts and persecutes those whom Jesus favors.

So-called anti-Semitism is just one of his tools.

When he can’t strike out at Jesus, Whom he hates with a vengeance,

It’s His ‘birthright nation’ and His ‘future bride’, the saints, that he stirs, 2

Using folks just like illicit drug dealers use ‘drug mules, 3

Folks who bite his ‘hate Israel and saints’ baits with imprudence.


Envisioned:

So-called anti-Semitism might manifest in full force,

During two major pending, predicted, events:

The first is when many Jews will hasten to Israel,

As across the world, The Lord’s tribulation plagues will burst forth.

Isaiah and Zechariah this point accent.

With the saints then raptured, for the plagues, will Jews be blameful?? 4


The second is when the world wakes up and realizes,

During these plagues, Israel was well protected,

Due to what I call The Goshen Effect. 5

Reactions Ezekiel 38 summarizes:

Pretext to war, five nations are then attracted,

Not knowing these nations …The Lord will wreck!!!


Enjoined:

In the ‘nearing future’, so-called anti-Semitism,

Will be un-thought ofno rancor,

Replaced with a fawning favoritism of Jews worldwide!!!

With The Lord God on Earth, in His Messianic Kingdom,

Folks then will curry His favor.

Rest assured, they will do their best with Jews to be allied! 6

~~0~~

Anti-Semitism. Tread carefully around this term.

Understand its dictionary meaning, lexically.

Perceive the pitfalls therein, spiritually.

Then ponder this particular point that I now affirm:

For His ‘birthright nation’, The Lord has …strong affinity.

He will judge its ‘rights’ and ‘wrongs’...assiduously! 7

1 Anachronism - the state or condition of being chronologically out of place

  Semitic - of, relating to, or constituting a sub-families of the Afro-Asiatic language family that includes, Amharic, Arabic, Aramaic and Hebrew

(Merriam-Webster Dictionary)

2 Biblical references to 'saints' are to spiritually born-again people, per John 3:1-21. Also see: Bride of Christ, Wikipedia, for two interpretations of this concept.

3 See: Mules (smuggling), Wikipedia

4 See: Isaiah 26:20, 49:17 and Zechariah 10:10. See also: The Coming Lame Blame (Poem). Especially note the prediction Jesus made in Matthew 24:9 that all nations will one day hate Jews

5 See: The Goshen Effect (Series) and also: Booty, Pre/Post Millennial Reign (Series). Learn how a very similar scenario will REPEAT sometime after The Millennial Reign. While The Bible details the first War of Gog and Magog, the second one is only mentioned in three verses - Revelation 20: 7-9! Sounds like, by then, these very effective demons might be promoted to exert global influence.

6 See: Numbers 14:21, Isaiah 11:9, 49:22-26, 60, 61, Habakkuk 2:14, Micah 4:1-3, 7:16-20, Zephaniah 3:9-20, Zechariah 14:14, Malachi 1:11&14. How's that for confirmations of such a glorious day?? This will happen AFTER The Lord, during the apocalypse, will have made humans very rare upon the Earth, thus subduing apocalypse survivors.

Which Bible Books to Read First? (Q&A)


See the Q&A Series here


Q: From your experience, which books of The Bible do you recommend starting with?


A: From my experience, here are the three books I recommend starting with, and my reasons why.


Genesis: The first half (25 chapters) depict Jesus, as pre-incarnate Man, as The Creator and The Lord God, to Whom Father God, Who is Spirit, has delegated and authorized to have FULL control over all things in Heaven and Earth. It clearly lays out The Lord's concern, strategic plans and initial tactics to redeem mankind from the gross sin that satan triggered by deceiving Eve in Eden. This plan signals that the war lucifer and 1/3 of the angels launched in an attempted coup d'etat in Heaven long ago, would continue in a very different form on Earth. The highlight of this continuing war is signaled in Genesis 3:15, a veiled prediction of the birth of Jesus, Himself, as a baby human Who, as an adult human, would defeat satan's kingdom on Earth. This was a prediction of satan's second defeat, the first being kicked out of Heaven and losing his lofty role.


To achieve this grand, multi-generational, multi-millennial scheme, Jesus needed to select and uniquely prepare a people and family line through which He would be born. Moreover, in the specific generation into which He would be born, the remnants of this family line would have to REJECT Him to the point of violently murdering Him. Father God had pre-determined this was the only way to redeem  mankind from our state of eternal sinfulness and damnation. Spiritually, only the sacrificial shedding of the blood of a sinless human being could pay the price for our sins. Since there would never, ever be sinless humans born from the seed of sinful Adam, an immaculate conception was required. 


Thus, in a miraculous way, Jesus became a baby human through 'the seed of a woman'. Physically, only us dudes have reproductive seed! So this pronouncement in Genesis 3:15 signaled a pending miracle would occur. Devils clearly understood this veiled threat and promise, and they immediately began to look out for Him!


Each key step of the strategic plan required people of faith who would believe The Lord's revealed word to them. Thus, the rest of The Bible singles out and marvelously highlights the stories of such faith-filled folks from across the ages of preparations of this people/family line. 


John: Once The Lord's strategic plan reached it apex, the entire plan was ready to be uncloaked for the rest of the world to perceive, understand and have the opportunity to either believe or reject it. Sadly, most folks reject it, and will pay an awful, eternal price. Thus, Heaven commissioned the writing of 4 gospel books (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) to achieve this objective. John is the most succinct gospel book that elucidates Heaven's strategic plan from across the ages.


Why 4 books? There is a pivotal Old Testament principle that, every important/key aspect of life should be confirmed 'in (at least) the mouths of 2 or 3 witnesses'. The Lord, Himself, meticulously applies this principle throughout The Bible! Look for it and you'll see it. I have learned that, when a key spiritual or life point is iterated more than 3 times, it's as if Heaven is placing several exclamation marks (!!!) behind this point, to ensure the spiritually wise will not miss it.


A very clear example of the application of this principle is how many times the Bible cites Jesus' account of the hellish experience awaiting all demons, and all folks who refuse His born again salvation experience - 7 whopping times!!!!!!! That signals (a) all demons will eventually become humans,* and (b) the critical importance of these words: There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Only real, physical bodies weep and have teeth.

 

Hebrews: This book presents a quick perspective of:

(1) what was happening in Heaven as its strategic plan was unfolding,

(2) what happened shortly after its apex occurred - the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, and 

(3) the critical implications all of this should have for true Christian believers. 


I say 'true believers' because other books reveal there would surely be plenty of FAKE Christians over the ages, mushrooming during the final days of this current age - folks who would feign Christian spirituality, but would not really be 'born into' The Kingdom of God -- CINOs (Christians In Name Only).


Hope this is both insightful and helpful.

Kingdom KinderKids (Poem)

Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world.
Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight.
Jesus loves the little children of the world.


That Jesus loves little children is generally well-known.

To that I say, ‘Who wouldn’t? What’s not to love?’

It’s gentleness that their hearts are full of,

Though, like us, it’s Adam’s nature they’re full of,

But unlike us, it has yet to grow up to become …well-honed!


One day while on His ministry circuit,

He rebuked all His disciples for not letting,

Little children to come to Him for a blessing--

Set-up for an earlier point He’d been pressing,

One from which we, today, can benefit. 


His earlier point was that entrance into Heaven,

Requires us to becomeas mere children.’

Egos were crushed, that’s what I imagine.

In their ‘Who’ll be greatest’ competition,

They’d obviouslynot learned’ His earlier lesson.


Before becoming as mere children, babes we must first become.

Recall, we are ‘born into’ The Kingdom of Heaven,

Into a place that, to us, is so very foreign.

To remain as babes and children is not an option.

Maturity beckons for tests and trials we must overcome.


But maturity does not mean being ‘all grown up’, I’ve learned.

Moreover, there are many stages of maturity!

It requires Love, time, patience, hard work and persistency,

Plus lots of prayer that’s of the kind, intercessory.

Even then, that’s not being ‘all grown up’, is what I’ve discerned. 


So what qualifies as being ‘all grown up’ in Jesus Christ??

I believe it’s not in this life, not even in the rapture!!

It's when, with Him, we’ll return for His millennial venture,

Unified to be part of His …governance superstructure.

Ahhh, that’s the ‘all grown up’ life that most certainly will suffice.


Then no longer are we children, tossed to and fro,

Carried about with winds of doctrine, by men’s deceitfulness, 

In the cunning craftiness of their plotting -- vindictiveness,

But all grown up in Him, speaking Truth in Love -- effectiveness, *

Fully equipped Earth’s governments to overthrow!


Yep, Jesus loves little children, for such is Heaven’s Kingdom.

For us to MATURE and GROW UP, that’s His desire, unarguably.

But for now, so many of us are not mature, undeniably.

Nor are we yet unified, speaking Truth in Love, unquestionably. 

But when we return (!!!), we’ll function in …perfect synergism.  

---------- 

* And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the Truth in Love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of The Body for the edifying of itself in Love. (Ephesians 4:11-16)

Meekness Ain't Weakness! (Poem)


Meek, a word that today is not so often heard.

Weak is what this word typically conveys.

If with Godly trust, meekness is uniquely gird,

In the end, folks will see His strength it displays.  


Moses was reported to be very meek, 1

Though he exhibited considerable strength:

Prince of Egypt, ‘in-line pharaoh’ -- no pipsqueak!!!

Yet he gave it all up, life among slaves to clench. 2


As a mere slave, he stood unshaken before Pharaoh,

Through Aaron, giving commands for Egypt to obey!

The Lord pummeled mighty Egypt through …this meek fellow!

Strength like that is un-imaginable in our day!!!


So how is such great strength regarded as …meekness,

When today meekness is something folks seek to avoid,

Something in our modern world most count as …needless?

When you see a meek person, are you …somewhat annoyed??


We regard meekness as a quality that is displayed,

By one person before others,

Timidity in an encounter one seeks to evade,

By any convenient measures.


But Moses learned insights that we miss or ignore,

That led him to change the object of his meekness.

Let’s take a moment to examine and explore,

The root and core aspects of this man’s uniqueness.


Moses learned The Lord designed life as two-dimensional.

Yet some declare this fact is debatable.

Many others flat out reject it as deniable.

Both views confirm it’s really decisional!


He structured life to bring us to this decision point:

Whom to you regard Him, The Lord, to be,

And in your life, to Him, what role will you then appoint?

It’s one that shouldn’t be made casually. 3


In this life decision, meekness plays critical roles,

With a sharp eye on its spiritual object of focus --

The person and power before whom meekness unfolds,

One who will not be fooled by meekness that is clearly bogus.


Moses fully humbled himself before The Lord’s mighty Hand,

The same Hand that designed and now sustains all of creation.

Thus humbled, he then trusted, and before Pharoah, he could stand,

Then lead millions through their 40-year wilderness migration.


Though he was ‘quite a strong man’ in so many ways,

He relied and leaned on The Lord’s strength, not his own.

What a contrast to so-called strong men in our days!!

It’s another hand by which their lives are …jawboned.


When they disregard The Lord as anything but,

And in their lives, to Him no role is appointed,

Recognize it or not, they’re then in satan’s rut,

And by his hand and power, they are …‘anointed’.


Attention

Not only by this scenario are strong men held captive,

But you, too, if it is your strength you rely upon and trust.

Get this

Before whom you are spiritually meek and submissive,

Your life is imbued, and into it, his power will be …stuffed.

---------- 

1 See: Numbers 12:3 and Matthew 5:5. Meekness: great strength and power held in check in service to a higher cause for the greater good of others; it is not about giving up power, but rather diligently harnessing it for the good of others. Meekness is not an innate human quality, but a decision we must make. Spiritual Meekness: An Imperative Virtue for Christian Leaders, Mark E. Caner, Regent University, an excellent article on the definition and strategic role of meekness in organizational leadership.

Earth’s Cloaked Satellites (Poem)


NASA reports there are tens of thousands of ‘satellites’,

That are currently up there in low Earth orbit,

Including dead satellites and tons of space junk. 1

Many are just too small for effective Earth-oversight.

So when one loses altitude in its circuit,

It threatens to some unknown place on Earth to plunk!


Yep! We’ve taken GIANT leaps in space exploration,

Since 1957 when Russia’s Sputnik was launched.

And we have learn a lot that benefits life …down here.

But there is one thing in all our space expeditions,

We’ve not learned, about which I have a strong Bible-based hunch:

There are things up there that to our eyes …do not appear!


Though discounted or by many flat-out denied,

Biblical fact is, to life, there are two dimensions,

Physical and spiritual, the latter overarching.

In its 66 books, that’s confirmed, not implied.

Ignore this fact, and life will be filled with distortions,

Because only the one-sided ‘gages’ we will be watching.


In the spirit realm, like geostationary satellites, 2

Evil spirits by their leader have long been assigned.

Fallen angels, now demons, have geographic assignments,

To inspire, trick and deceive us who they easily gaslight,

To allow, through us, all their evil deeds to unwind.

That’s like low Earth orbit ‘satellites, with Earth-bound attendants! 3


This helps to explain the basis for evil things repetitive,

That occur over generations in the same districts,

Many we refer to as …history repeating itself.

Though we have progressed, we remain spiritually regressive.

Thus these forces don’t need to change any of their tactics.

What worked with our ancestors long ago is …still on their shelf. 


GOOD NEWS! In the midst of their worst ever deception,

A global satellite replacement strategy will unfold,

Leaving not one spec of space junk behind.

A brand new corps of Earth-bound …attendant divisions,

Will then be installed, just as in the Bible it is foretold.

To ensure righteousness, they’ll be assigned. 4


Among the current, cloaked crew of Earth’s ‘demon satellites’,

Is one whom Jesus is deeply and passionately against!

He gives us its name and territorial location,

‘Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal’, Ezekiel writes,

Over land in the ‘far north’, presumably of Israel.

Today, that land is known as The Russian Federation. 5


As leader of these demons, satan controls their deployments,

And might supplement those who are territorially assigned,

With others with no such assignments, but who are available,

To augment, then AMPLIFY unique campaigns of devilment.

Think how, in modern wars, military resources are aligned.

Then ponder how this network will be instantly disassembled.


At His glorious return to Earth, Jesus will be arrayed,

With all the saints’ and all His angels’. On Earth, Heaven emptied?!

His ‘to do’ list includes locking away remaining demons,

Not already locked away for hacking humans’ DNA. 

To fill the voids, He’ll then deploy His angels, still unbodied,

And His saints to fill governance roles …in luminous  fashion. 6


These globally assigned teams will thus replace,

Current demonic deployments, and all folks who by them are fooled.

Earth’s new, cloaked ‘angel satellites’, and their Earth-bound affiliates,

Will ensure righteousness worldwide is embraced.

For a thousand years, righteousness will be lauded, not ridiculed!

So what might happen to all those ‘satellites’ now in Earth orbits?


Might Zechariah 14:12 give us a hint??

---------- 

1 See: Sea of Dead Satellites and Debris Around Earth, especially end of the video.

2 Geostationary satellites are earth-orbiting satellites, placed in a relatively fixed location at an altitude of approximately 22,300 miles directly over the equator, that revolve in the same direction Earth rotates (west-to-east) -- geosynchronous orbit. At this altitude, one orbit takes 24 hours, the same length of time as one Earth rotation on its axis. If visible from Earth, geostationary satellites appear nearly stationary in the sky as seen by a ground-based observer. 

3 See: Daniel 10, 12:1 and 2 Corinthians 12:2, Ephesians 3:13, 6:12, and Revelation 12:9. Also see: The Three Heavens and Three Heavens, Not Just One

4 See: Psalm 104:4, Zechariah 14:5, Matthew 16:27, 25:31, 2 Thessalonians 1:7 and Revelation 20. Wholesale replacement of cloaked, evil, spiritual agents, operating like satellites around Earth, is very well documented in The Bible. After a thousand years, they will be once again be loosed on Earth, very likely to tempt those long-living folks who will have been born during Christ’s promised Millennial Reign. See: Salvation in the Millennium? (Series)

5 Gog appears to be the chief demon assigned to the broad territory far north of Israel. Why do you think Jesus is so passionately against this particular fallen angel? Tip: consult the geo-political news of our era.

6 See: Humans’ DNA Hacked (Poem) and Look at Me …Then (Poem). I know of no Biblical indication that the holy angels will ever take on physical bodies. They were not created as we were, in the tripartite/trinity image of Jesus, as spirit, soul and physical body. That’s why Psalm 8:5, correctly translated in the Amplified, Orthodox Jewish, and Young’s Literal Bible versions, position humans ‘a little lower than God, Elohim’, not angels. Selah

The Big Lie (Q&A)


See the Q&A Series here


Q: How do so many people still believe ‘the Big Lie’ or that the January 6th insurrection in America was peaceful, or didn’t really happen? Are there any parallels from the Bible?


A: You are certainly not alone in pondering answers to your first, probing question! Yep, open any book of The Bible and you will see countless parallels from across the ages of time of folks discounting Truth to the point of full disbelief, then acting on their disbelief, and reaping the consequences thereof. This is a ubiquitous theme across all 66 books of The Bible! Moreover, there are iterative predictions that this condition will spread widely and deeply across the global population in the final days of this particular age. 1 Yet even though it’s ‘in our faces’, many still disbelieve, and are therefore caught in the traps and webs of lies.


Unfortunately, in our pondering, I suspect most folks are omitting the spiritual dimension of this life, and as a result, they are guaranteed to ‘come up short’ in their perceptions and understandings of what’s really going on. 2 This blog is dedicated to helping to pull back the curtains that separate our physical realm from the all-encompassing spiritual realm of life, based on Bible insights. Only with perceptions of both of these ‘counterpart realms’ are we equipped to understand Heaven’s core message and warnings to humanity, namely, that:


     o There is an unseen dimension of life that controls and influences the physical side; 

     o There is on-going warfare between enemies that inhabit this realm;

     o People are unknowingly being influenced by these beings for good or evil -- tested for good, tempted for evil; and

     o For our responses (thoughts, words and deeds), there are rewards, consequences and prices to be paid, both in this life and throughout eternity.


Regarding Bible examples of believing a BIG lie, please consult the following examples:


Genesis 3 - the BIG lie that got all humans into the mess we’ve been in since the beginning!


Numbers 13 and 14 - the story of how believing lies that The Lord could not possibly deliver the Amorites inhabiting the promised land into the hands of a bunch of Jewish ex-slaves. Their disbelief led to The Lord’s decision to confine the whole group to wandering in the wilderness for 40 years, including a few righteous souls! The story is dramatized in the movie, The Ten Commandments.


Numbers 16 - the BIG lie and consequences thereof when some Hebrews, newly freed from Egyptian slavery, convinced others to join them in challenging Moses’ God-given authority to lead folks to the promised land. Unlike the punishment of 40 years wandering in the wilderness, the judgement on this small group was IMMEDIATE and horrific!


Ezekiel 9 and 2 Chronicles 36 - the culmination of many decades of folks believing BIG lies that their sinfulness didn’t matter to God because they were His chosen people, or that He had abandoned them, therefore they turned to fake gods - idols


Matthew 27 and 28 - consequences of the BIG lie that Jesus is not The Jewish Messiah, The Son of God, as He declared, because He did not immediately fulfill ALL of the many end-times prophecies about Him. In their short-sightedness and spiritual blindness, they totally misperceived that these prophecies would be fulfilled over several millennia, not in His short, 33 years as a human on Earth. But their deception fit perfectly into God’s strategy which included sacrificing His Son, Jesus, in death and then in resurrection as payment for the sins of all who would believe and embrace Him as their Lord and Savior.


Romans 1:18-32 - the BIG lie folks across the ages have believed and acted upon, and received the consequences thereof. This passage quite accurately captures the state of our world today – folks acting out the imaginations of their debased minds.


1 Timothy 4:1-2 and 1 John 4:1-3 - the general predicted state we are in and clearly witnessing today


Revelation 21:27 and 22:15 - the final, eternal state of affairs for all liars and all unrepentant sinners


Need more? Read through the history of ancient Israel, both before and after it split into the two nations of Israel and Judah. Both of these nations were iteratively warned over centuries, then severely judged for believing and acting on all sorts of lies. This is summarized in the historical books of Judges, 1st/2nd Samuel, 1st/2nd Kings, and 1st/2nd Chronicles. The prophetic books (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi) persistently lay out warnings of The Lord’s responses to folks who believed lies about Him, His strategic plans for humanity, His rewards for righteousness, and His punishments for sinfulness. These themes continue throughout New Testament books that primarily focus on the small proportion of humans who will embrace The Lord’s plan of salvation, and escape His eternal wrath, namely His true (not fake) born-again saints.


Genesis 6, 7 and 8 - perhaps most relevant for us today are the BIG lies folks believed for well over a century, namely that Noah was foolish to build a huge boat (ark) on dry land with no water in sight, preaching ‘it’s gonna rain cats and dogs until everything is flooded’, when there had NEVER been any rain falling on Earth since the beginning. Only 8 wise souls escaped the global inundation. Though we are descendants of these wise believers, honestly we act much more like the fools who refused to believe, and who were thus drowned! 


To which group do you belong …today? 3

---------- 

1 The Bible reveals seven ‘ages’ of and for humanity: (1) pre-flood, (2) post-flood/pre-cross, (3) post-cross (Church Age), (4) tribulation period, (5) Millennial Reign, (6) post-Millennial Reign, and (7) eternity. With such a GRAND, multi-millennial strategic plan, The Lord harvests ‘saints fruits’ from each of the first six ages for our seventh age. Ponder that…

We are currently in, and rapidly nearing the end of the 3rd age. Predicted pre-cursors of the promised tribulation period are increasingly in clear view, especially ‘the BIG lie’ being believed across America, including by many professed Christians in whom the Spirit of Truth allegedly dwells. As you imagine that, read Revelation 3:14-22 to understand The Lord’s response to such. Then seeLaodicean Lackadaisicalness (Series) to understand the applications across our world today, especially in America.
