Bamboozled Gamblers! (Poem)

Even if our Gospel is veiled, it’s veiled to those who're perishing,

whose minds the god of this age [satan] has blinded,

who do not believe, lest the Light of The Gospel

of The Glory of Christ, Who is the image of God, 

should shine on them.

(2 Corinthians 4:3-4)

From embracing God’s GIFT, you who refrain,

Are traversing …spiritual terrain.

Against any odds, you gamble.

Day in and day out, you stumble. ¹

But in any other betting venue,

Where the odds are so incredibly skewed,

Would you come to your senses, finally, 

Or keep on ‘chasing losses’, slavishly? ²

Maybe you never heard, and you might not have a clue,

That 80+% of His prophecies are true!

That’s right! Most of them are now factual.

Thinking the rest won’t be, is farcical! ³

To you, is that is a stunning realization,

One that’ll will spark your spiritual dedication,

Or to which you’ll just have a ‘ho hum’ reaction??

Either way, my job is done: Fake news correction. ⁴

Ponder this: Re. The Lord’s remaining prophecies…

With 3 more ages to come, per His will,

Less than 20% are yet-fulfilled.

Most of those left, cover one-of-two short ages.

That’s clear, across The Bible’s prophetic pages.

Two ages will last 1,007 years,

The shortest of which will be Earth’s most severe!

The longest of the 3 receives the least mention.

Two chapters portray your eternal dimension. ⁵

To me, this infers rapid-fire fulfillment,

Of The Lord’s remaining prophetic installments,

All within a scrunched time period!

That is His Truth, to you presented. 

Yet…

You scoff and smirk at those that are pending,

While knowing many past ones, are trending,

Not believing He has POWER to uncloak,

Every remaining prophecy that He spoke. ⁶

¹ God’s great Gift is forgiveness for our sins by exercising sustained faith in Jesus Christ, The Lord God, and adjusting our lifestyles to accord with His righteous standards, as articulated in The Holy Bible. Rejecting His Gift seals our eternal fate in His promised, brimstone-lit lake of fire, as a fully sentient, tripartite (spirit, soul and body) immortal person. See: Prayer of Salvation (Poem), and Your Salvation Status (Q&A).

² When odds are heavily stacked against them, some gamblers chase their losses by continuing to bet, even doubling their bets after each loss.

³ Historically factual from our human perspective. But from The Lord’s perspective, they were facts when He spoke and/or inspired them to be written. He dwells in eternity, where what we regard as the past, present and future, are all NOW to Him. See: Ponder this… (All Prophecies Are Facts, Poem).

⁴ satan and his crew of devils motivate people to lie, lie, lie about all Bible Truths. Their objective is to recruit as many of us as possible to share in The Lord’s pronounced eternal lake of fire judgment upon them, for their attempted coup d’etat. The objective of their rebellion in Heaven was to dethrone, and replace Jesus, The Lord God, with Lucifer (ex-satan). See: Isaiah 14:12-13, Ezekiel 28:11-15, Revelation 12:7-9, and Luke 10:18.

⁵ See: Human History Ages (Series), and Historical Countdown - 7 Biblical Ages of Human History (Video). The Millennial Reign age is far less detailed in Scripture than the other remaining ages.

⁶ Consider these examples: Ezekiel 36, 37, 37 and 39 are a ‘prophetic quadfecta’ – 4 MAJOR prophecies in a row, that predict(ed) events in the 2nd, 3rd (current), 4th and 5th ages of history on this current version of Earth! wOw! The first 2 of these prophecies became historical facts when:

     (a)  ancient Judeans were freed (by a Persian King) from Babylonian captivity, and were allowed to return to Palestine to rebuild Jerusalem, repopulate ancient Judah, and rekindle Jewish life and traditions in good time for the long-promised birth of Jesus as a human; and

     (b)  Israel once again became a united state on May 14, 1948. 

With these ‘in our rear view mirror’, it would be foolish to bet, think, or believe The Lord will not fulfill His remaining 2 major prophecies in this quadfecta! Yet most people do. My, my, what a testimony that is of the effectiveness of devils’ lies. 

For insights on the remaining major prophecies in this quadfecta, see: First Ukraine, Next Israel’s Terrain?!, Missed Insights in Ezekiel (Series), and The Millennial Reign (Series).

How Fish Really Rot! (Poem)

 

Have you heard the adage, about how fish will rot?

‘From the head comes spoilage’, so most of us were taught. 

At leaders we point fingers, when rot is first perceived.

But what’s below those fingers, reveals what I believe.

Rot first touches basic things, like commonly known facts. 

Then one sacred trusted thing, it will push to redact.

When Truth is sold for gold, and kindness dies for gain,

Lies become a stronghold, and more in life …is feigned.

Then builders cheat, teachers sleep, preachers ‘slant’ The Word.

Fields then wither, laws grow weak, none say it’s absurd.

Long before leaders corrupt, and rot becomes complete,

Truth SHOUTS OUT,

‘This I instruct: From Truth, please don’t retreat!‘

Most leaders do not conjure rot; they rise from its source.

Like plants they grow, well-watered by those they are endorsed. 

They wear the masks supporters crave, then promise them...

...good deals. 

They harvest all the bitter fruits supporters’ hearts conceal. 

Corrupt leaders reflect lands where virtue once was gold.

Basking in their secret sins, they stand before us bold!

When they can no longer cloak desires to control,

They cast off all pretenses, when folks learned what they stole!

A rotten head will lead the way where life’s dark waters flow.

The weaker body follows fast, too blind or slow to know.

The leader fights the stream at first, but not for very long;

Its body, sick with hidden rot, cannot be brave or strong.

Leaders boast! Some folks still cheer, as life’s dark waters rise.

Pulling strings like puppeteers, their fans believe their lies. 

Don’t they know that nations fall when pride is their main sin?

God ensures they won’t arise, till Truth is found within! 

One finger that to leaders points, leaves 3 that self-convict.

The leaders that we all anoint, don’t just themselves depict.

From ‘home-cooked soups’ they all arise, and show what’s in our pots!

So when it’s scum, leaders become, they show …our hidden rot!

Ponder This... (All Prophecies Are Facts!, Poem)

See the Ponder This... series here

 

Prophecies aren’t predictions up for vote,

Nor are they ‘mere words’ from ancient prophets’ quotes.

They are FACTs that Heaven declared in text,

 From The Lord, Who knows what will happen next. ¹

 

We mortals flinch and strain to see,

 But miss the ‘perspective of prophecies.’

 They’re FACTs to Him Who lives above, outside,

The concept of time with which we’re allied. ²

 

The Mind of Christ reveals His perspective,

To those in whom His Spirit’s effective.

Without That Gift, our perspectives reject,

His FACTs, till they align with our ‘fact checks.’ ³

 

So…

Until His future FACTS show in our time,

Let’s elucidate within us, His Mind.

On the ~20% that, to us, are pending,

He promised fresh insights to us, He’ll be sending. ⁴

---------- 

¹ Biblical prophecies prove The Lord is God, because only He can accurately predict the future, even many millennia in advance. 

² Isaiah 57:15 declares The Lord inhabits eternity. 

³ The Holy Spirit earnestly desires to be effective in us who are born again, and are  alive to Father God, in Christ, The Lord God. Thus, we have been given The Mind of Christ. Our job is to receive and activate/inculcate His Gift in our spirit and soul.

⁴ Years ago, 80% of all Bible prophecies had, reportedly, become factual. Since then, others continue to be fulfilled, notably the spikes in Christian lukewarmness and apostasy during/after the Covid pandemic. See: 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, 1 Timothy 4:1, and Matthew 24:12. Also, Acts 2:14-21 echo The Lord’s promised in Joel 2:28-29.

Earth's Cloaked Satellites (Part 2)

See the series here

A Dual Reality in Earth’s Skies

Most people today are aware of the thousands of man-made satellites strewn across Earth’s lower, middle and upper atmospheres. Since Russia launched Sputnik in 1957, Earth’s atmosphere has become a crowded ring of both operational and dead satellites called space junk—some of which threaten unpredictable re-entry disasters. And every year, we continue to add to this ‘cloud of metal’ up there! 

What most of us don’t realize, however, is that Earth is also encircled by another set of ‘satellites’—cloaked ones. These are not crafted in labs or launched by rockets. They are part of a vast, well-organized spiritual network—one that predates Sputnik by millennia. The Bible gives us piercing insights into this hidden actuality.

satan’s Earth Kingdom

Scripture indicates satan’s kingdom of darkness comprises 3, cloaked tiers, possibly mimicking the structure of Kingdom of Heaven where he once served as a top holy angel, and learned ‘all the ways’ of Heaven. They brought these insights with them when he and his rebellious crew of fallen angels (devils and demons) were cast out of Heaven, and landed on the Earth. The Bible indicates his kingdom is structured like this:

1. A shifting seat of power on Earth -- a central, spiritual throne from which satan directs and orchestrates evil global influences on/over all of humanity. In a letter The Lord dictated to Apostle John, for the church in Pergamos (Revelation 2:13), He mentioned the location of satan’s seat of power. That was circa 95 AD. But since the early post-flood population settled in the plain of Shinar (in current Iraq), it is safe to conclude satan’s seat of power was likely where the population center was. If so, Revelation 2:13 signals his seat of power shifted over time, as human power centers shifted, possibly following the rise and fall of empires or national power centers.
2. Principalities and powers ‘in the heavenlies’ -- high-ranking demons who operate across Earth’s upper atmosphere (Ephesians 6:12). They may be assigned over nations, and/or politico-cultural power spheres on Earth. These are strategic influencers who steer entire nations and peoples into grossly sinful temptations and deceptions. For example, an angel spoke to Daniel about being hindered by the Prince of Persia and of Greece (Daniel 10). Gog may be satan’s top demon who is/will be assigned over Russia, to instigate the predicted invasion of Israel, per. Ezekiel 38. (See: First Ukraine, Then Israel’s Terrain?!)
3. Low-level ‘foot soldiers’ – street-level devils who tempt and deceive individuals. They are the devils who daily dog our steps and crowd our thoughts, exploiting personal vulnerabilities and generational weaknesses.

Consider this: This 3-tiered structure parallels how man-made satellite systems are organized and operated, with a control room on Earth; satellites in the upper atmosphere, and customers strewn across the Earth. Moreover, The Bible indicates The Lord’s Millennial Reign kingdom will be similarly organized: with Jesus, visibly on His Throne in a significantly elevated Jerusalem; all His angels, invisibly in Earth’s upper atmosphere, replacing satan’s powerful demons; and all His saints from across the first 4 ages of history, visibly assigned across the Earth to exercise The Lord’s iron rod authority, ensuring righteousness in all the Earth! Got it??

But the Bible promises a radical, coming change.

Heaven Emptied, Earth Shaken

When The Lord and we, His immortal, glorified saints, return for His Millennial Reign, Scripture indicates Heaven apparently will literally be emptied onto the Earth. (Zechariah 14:5, Matthew 25:31). An angel will lock satan and all his devilish crew into a bottomless pit for a thousand years. (Revelation 20:1-3) All The Lord’s angels will likely then replace them, becoming Earth’s new, ‘cloaked satellites’. 

Jesus will deploy glorified saints across the Earth as His visible, righteous kings and administrators, exercising His iron rod justice, enforcing righteousness, and ensuring peace and truth in every land.

This will constitute a total spiritual reboot of Earth’s upper atmosphere, as well as its national governance systems. 

***Ponder this: With the above notion of how satan’s 3-tiered kingdom currently works, let your imagination flow freely to perceive possible similarities and significant differences in how The Lord’s 3-tiered, Millennial Kingdom on Earth might work!

What About Those Physical Satellites?

Here’s where prophetic Scripture seems to intersect with astro-physics. The Bible describes three major earthquakes during the apocalyptic judgments. The third/final one will be the most violent, ever:

...Earth will move out of her place (Isaiah 13:13)

…Earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard,

   and shall totter like a hut (Isaiah 24:20)
...Every wall shall fall to the ground (Ezekiel 38:20)

…There will be a mighty, great earthquake as had not occurred 

   since men were on the Earth (Revelation 16:18)

We don’t know how dramatically, or in which directions Earth will be shaken and moved out of her place. But even a small orbital shift could have devastating consequences for the thousands of man-made satellites, if they will still be in the atmosphere during the apocalypse. Even the slightest change in Earth’s tilt, speed or orbit, could:

…Disrupt orbital paths, triggering satellites to collide and fall towards the ground;

…Increase atmospheric drag, causing satellites to burn up on reentry; and

…Disable communications networks, triggering a global blackout.

From this review, we see The Lord could use a cosmic reset, not just to purge the spiritual realm, but also to clear the atmosphere of every man-made device.

Satanic Evacuation-->Divine Invasion

 

In ancient times, invading armies laid siege against nations for months, even years! Thus, they choked supply channels, and triggered massive sufferings and deaths. Well, the predicted 42-month-long apocalypse will be The Lord’s ‘siege against the Earth’, before launching His predicted alien-type invasion, with all His glorified/glowing saints and angels, to start His Millennial Reign. 

 

Somewhere in the mayhem, He will deal with both types of Earth’s satellite networks, possibly replacing the spiritual type, and perhaps destroying the physical type. Tongue-in-cheek, otherwise, how would He and His massive entourage …get through all that space junk? ;o)
