Without Holiness, No one will see God

  Strive to live in peace with everybody and pursue that consecration and holiness without which no one will ever see the Lord.  Hebrews 12:14

I'm hearing that some pastors and churches...in fact not some, but many are preaching today that repentance is a "Work", and if you repent of your sins you are actually trying to work for your salvation and cannot be truly saved. When I first heart this, it shocked me to my core.

Guess how many times the word, Repent appears in the King James Bible ?

New Testament  60 Times

Old Testament  45 Times. .

Repentance occurs 25 Times in the New Testament. 

I think God is serious about Repentance. When Jesus walked this Earth, he constantly told people to repent, and He commanded the 7 churches in Revelation to repent over and over. 

If only people would read the following parable of Jesus!  It would clear up their delusions straight away. 

And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
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.
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
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.
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.

Luke 18:9-14

Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death with Jesus!

 I'm going to share something personal here, but only for the purpose and hope that it will help someone out there.  The past year and a half, (and still ongoing) I have been through the hardest time of my life. Not physically, but emotionally.  Family members who I love more than my own life turned on me. Relationships were severed, affections lost, communication clipped or non-existent.  I am a highly sensitive person who wears my heart on my sleeve so when all this occurred, it was devastating. Now, I've had my heart broken many times in my life...at age 16 when my first love dumped me for another girl. Then in my 20's more than one man who I thought loved me, crushed me like a bug. Then, of course, my divorce, the shared custody of my children, problems in my current marriage..etc.  But I have to say that this last heartache was by far worse than all those put together. 

I'm sharing this because I'm coming out on the other side of this Valley of the Shadow of Death, and I'm coming out stronger and better, but ONLY because the Lord was in that valley with me. When I get hurt, I have a tendency to curl up in a ball and remove myself from life and have a nice pity party.  I can't tell you the number of nights I cried myself to sleep over this. Ten years ago, I would have probably stopped reading the Bible or praying and just wallowed in my misery. Instead, I opened my Bible every morning and read and prayed and pleaded with the Lord for comfort, help, and wisdom. 

If you're going through a trial or a heartache, I'm here to tell you that Jesus cares. He sees everything you're going through and He feels your pain. He's the only one who can completely understand what you are suffering and actually feel the anguish you are feeling! Think about that. There's not a single person on Earth who can do that. Even a spouse or good friend cannot actually FEEL what you are going through and understand it. But when you turn to Him, when you ask for His help. When you full submit to His will, He will never fail you! 

You see, I would sit for hours and talk with Jesus, ask Him what happened and why and what I did or didn't do or what I could have done better, different. Those conversations were so incredible, and I came away with a better understanding of myself, my motives, my mistakes, and those of my family members. Things began to make sense, and in places they didn't, I left them in God's hands. I learned so much through all of this!  I learned I had made these people idols in my life. I learned I had been selfish at times, and I had been insensitive. I saw all of that and repented and asked the Lord to create in me a new heart. He loves that kind of prayer! 

And yes, these family members had made mistakes too, but I forgave them. I prayed for them. I still do! And the Lord led me to a ton of Scriptures about reconciliation and restoration and I prayed these verses over the situation. It is our enemy who loves to come into families and tear them apart, but God is in the business of making all things new!  I began to have hope. I found joy again!  

The situation is still ongoing, but I can report that things have improved and are slowly getting better. Certain relationships will not be like they were here on Earth. I know that. But one thing the Lord said to me during this process is "The Best is Yet to Come!"  I clearly heard those exact words! You see, in heaven, all relationships will be mended and restored, but not only restored, they will be perfect! We will know each other, understand each other, and love each other more than we ever could here.  It's going to be wonderful.

In the meantime, through all of this, I've developed a deeper and more intimate relationship with Jesus, and through that, my faith has grown. And along with faith, comes hope and joy. This intimacy with Jesus is the only thing that will get me through the next trial and the one after that, for as long as we are on this Earth (Which I hope isn't much longer)  

Here are some tactics of the enemy during any trial you are going through. It doesn't have to be an emotional trial like I'm having. This could be anything: Job loss, health scare, money problems. Remember Satan's job is to kill, steal and destroy. His first priority is to get you to walk away from Jesus. If he can't do that, he will do his best to make you ineffective for the Lord. 

So beware of these three attacks: Recognize them and be prepared for them when they come. 

1. The enemy will make you feel bad for mistakes you may have made that caused your current trial. In my case, he went back 30 years!  Or he may just make you feel guilty for any sins in your past or present. You can recognize his voice because it is condemning and will make you feel bad and unworthy. Alternatively, the Holy Spirit's conviction is gentle and brings hope for repentance.

2. Satan will do his best to keep you away from reading the Bible and spending time with Jesus.  Let's face it, it can be hard to do either of these when you are suffering. But our enemy knows that this is the only thing that will get you through your trials and fulfill God's purpose for the trial. Once you drift from the Lord, Satan has won this round.

3. Satan will make you feel like you've been treated unfairly and the people who hurt you are bad and owe you something. He will convince you that you have every right to be mad and demand an apology, etc. Or if your trial has nothing to do with specific persons, he will still try and convince you that you don't deserve what is happening, that God is unfair and unjust for allowing this to happen. He will try and get you mad at God and hence not spend time with Him. He will tell you God doesn't care. 

So, beware, dear Brothers and Sisters. I know many of you are going through struggles right now. And I believe those trials will continue until the very moment we hear that Trumpet call! 

Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Joshua 1:9

While You Were Sleeping...The Beast Rose

Dear Precious Brothers and Sisters,

I'm posting a few news items below only so you can see how fast things are accelerating!  I believe they almost have everything set up and ready to take over when the time is right. By take over, I mean institute a Global AI system that monitors every person on the planet. Huge Data centers are already up and running and more are currently being built, while AI is taking over every aspect of our lives. (See below) I believe it has reached Singularity already or is very close. That is the point AI becomes self-aware and can then do what it deems necessary. Once humans are connected to it via implants, graphene, nanobots or brain chips, they become part of the "hive" or part of this huge system. This is EXACTLY what Scripture predicted and how the Antichrist will be able to track everything you buy and sell and hunt down every Christian.

We will not be here for that! If you have the Holy Spirit living inside of you and you follow Jesus, you will be leaving soon! This year. I have no more doubts about that. Not only has the Lord given us many signs in the sky, but we also have the timing laid out in Scripture, and all the signs around us. Did you see the TWO Quakes that hit the far East last week. Both over 7.0, which is a huge! That's just one of the Earth Groaning signs...as we just had tornadoes and floods here in the USA. I'm sure you've heard about Trump's new tariffs on just about everything coming from everywhere. Here's a list I found:

China — 34%
Vietnam — 46%
Taiwan — 32%
Japan — 24%
South Korea — 25%
Thailand — 36%
Switzerland — 31%
Indonesia — 32%
Malaysia — 24%
Cambodia — 49%
Great Britain — 10%
South Africa — 30%
Ukraine -10%

All this will do is make everything we buy much more expensive or maybe it won't be available at all.  Third Horse of the Apocalypse Anyone?

I'm not reporting it in this post, but Trump and Iran continue to threaten each other with complete destruction. I hear Trump has a May 1st deadline for Iran to comply, and Trump is not one to back down. Nor will his "leaders" allow him to unless it suits their purposes. I honestly expect the Middle East to explode any minute. We have sent tons of ships, aircraft carries, bombers, and weaponry over there in preparation. IF this is the Gog-Magog war found in Ezekiel 38, then we are even closer to going home. 

I was asking the Lord recently when He was coming and I opened to the Book of Isaiah, which I'm currently reading and I happened to be on this verse

The righteous perishes, and no man takes it to heart; Merciful men are taken away, while no one considers that the righteous is taken away from evil. Isaiah 57:1.  

The word "Perishes" is mistranslated. It is the Hebrew Word 'āḇaḏ, which means to vanish!

Let that be a comfort to you, along with the following Verse from Isaiah 64:4

For from of old no one has heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides You, who works and shows Himself active on behalf of him who earnestly waits for Him.

Are you earnestly waiting for Him? Do you yearn to be with our Lord? This pleases Him so much. And He Promises to come for you. So, be filled with Joy! Be filled with the Holy Spirit, and keep doing whatever He leads you to do. How do you know you're saved and going to Heaven?

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For the Spirit which you have now received, not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption the Spirit producing sonship in the bliss of which we cry, Abba (Father)! Father! The Spirit Himself thus testifies together with our own spirit, assuring us that we are children of God.!  Romans 8:14-16

Here's some news you may have missed. I have a few videos embedded so if you're reading this in Email, you might want to click over to my Blog

Cash on the way out

You may not have noticed that Trump has eliminated all Federal Checks. And pennies!  This is just the beginning of getting rid of all cash! They want to switch to cryptocurrency so that everyone is connected to the blockchain via nano biotechnology— linked to the “cloud system” that will store genetic code in the blockchain. Yes, they can now store DNA sequences in Blockchain.

This will all be done under the guise of “consumer verification”

However, “they” will then have full access to your DNA (and the ability to “tweak it”)

“Precision medicine”

In 2018, engineers were able to successfully transfer a full DNA sequence onto the Ethereum blockchain. Imagine how much this technology has advanced in 7 years

Executive Order Modernizing payments to and from America's Bank Accounts. This order gets rid of all governmental checks!

Trump Takes on the Banking Industry by Developing his Own Cryptocurrency Financial Network

As we end the first quarter of 2025, we are now getting a glimpse of President Donald Trump's plan for his New World Order beast financial system, which will be based on fully traceable cryptocurrencies.

While the media has been largely detracted by Musk and his DOGE activities, it has now been revealed that the Trump administration has actually spent MORE money out of the U.S. Treasury than the Biden administration did last year.

The news that shook the banking industry last week, however, was the announcement that President Trump and the Trump family were starting their new financial network with their own new cryptocurrency, to compete with traditional banks.

THE CEO of Blackrock says Bitcoin may replace the dollar as the World's reserve currency because of National Debt

Transhumanism

The SAME Lie of Satan:  You can Live Forever! You can be a god!

Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Genesis 3:4

“They” are slowly introducing “clean” CRISPER-CAS9 and mRNA tech as the solution for the “incurable,” such as what we have been hearing about the mRNA cancer shot

This fallen angel style technology uses elimination, addition, and rearrangement of genes to change the genetic makeup of an organism, thus making the human genome entirely programmable— and ultimately corrupting the image (temple) of God within

Genetic tampering and human hybridization (transhumanism), just as it was in Genesis 6

We heard this week that Musk is bragging that he can make people Blind from birth SEE AGAIN!

Getting Rid of the Department of Education? 

It doesn’t take a genius to see the American education system has become infiltrated with woke ideologies…However, that was done on purpose, along with the great waste of money. This was only Phase 1 so that the public will DEMAND CHANGE. 

The entire education system is transitioning to AI-based teaching. The Dept. of Education (humans) are being phased out under the guise of “improving the quality of learning” and reducing teaching costs (DOGE)

The 4th industrial revolution speaks of “new education” tied to a “Spiritual Learning” curriculum, which teaches students how to achieve higher mental, emotional, and spiritual states

The shift in public education is 100% linked to AI governance and the broader new age movement

They created the problem. Now they’re offering a solution via AI

AI BEAST SYSTEM

Isn't it odd that AI seems to be taking over every aspect of our lives? AND very quickly, I might add. Even a year ago we would have never imagined the things we are seeing now. This is the BEAST System! It is the System that will monitor everything you do and say, track every purchase, every sale, and every place you go. It will be INSIDE of you, and they will use Vaccines and medicines to get it into your Body.  I'm sharing all this to show you how very very close we are to leaving this place! Look at how AI has infiltrated EVERYTHING!

Trump is no more in Charge of the USA than any other leader is in Charge of their countries. They ALL report to the Same Boss! (See Short Video Below)

Trump Called the Great Emperor

See Video Below

Trump was JUST COMPARED to the "Great Roman Emperor", CONSTANTINE the GREAT, at the Greek Independence Day celebration. This speech and accolades to Trump, was given by the first Turkish citizen to be chosen as the Archbishop of America: Elpidophoros 

Trump was given a cross that represents Constantine. 

Archbishop Elpidophoros of America presents President Trump with a Holy Cross:

"Through your leadership, you embody the values of our Christian faith and love for the Gospel. You remind me of the great Roman Emperor, Constantine the Great."

Are you kidding me?  Should any of what I'm reported here sent a huge ALERT to Christians?  

 And the Church sleeps........

Have a Great Weekend!  See you all soon!

Seven Blessings from Revelation!

Revelation is the ONLY book in the Bible that promises a Blessing to those who read and follow it. Yet, I come across so many Christians who have never read it. Let me tell you, I can use all the blessings I can get, so I read Revelation often! 

Here are seven special blessings you will get from reading this amazing book. (Sent to me by Ron Benson)

• Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near. 1:3
• Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’ ”  14:13
• “Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.” 16:15
• Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.” 19:9
• Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years. 20:6
• Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book." Revelation 22:7
• Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. 22:14 

May you read this precious book and claim every one of these blessings today!

Nisan, the Month of New Beginnings!

We are now in the Month of Nisan on the Jewish Calendar. It used to be the 7th month of their year before Moses, but when God instituted the Passover in Egypt, He switched the months.

Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, “This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you. Exodus 12:1-2

Unfortunately, Israel doesn't celebrate Nisan as the first month of the year, but rather Tishri, which falls around Sept-Oct in the fall. But God is the one who set Nisan as the New Year, so I'm following Him!

Here are some interesting things about the month of Nisan

• Creation of the Universe
• Noah. landed on Mount Ararat (Which means Reverse the Curse) on Nisan 17, which is also the day Jesus rose from the dead
• Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were all born in Nisan and died in Nisan
• Miriam Moses's sister died in Nisan
• Nisan is the month Kings are coronated
• Haman is hanged in story of Esther in Nisan
• It is the month in which Barley is harvested
• God made a covenant with Abraham in Nisan, giving the land of Israel to his descendants
• Jacob wrestled with the Angel of the Lord until dawn in Nisan
• Lot escaped from Sodom. How do we know Lot escaped in Nisan? Because Lot invited the two angels to his house for a meal and he made a feast for the angels and he baked and served them unleavened bread which they did eat (Genesis 19:3). Unleavened bread was made and eaten during Passover week!
• God appeared to Moses in the burning bush
• Passover occurs in Nisan on the 14th of the month. This is a very important feast and the first of the Jewish feast days to be announced and instituted. The Last Supper was a Passover supper in which Jesus said He would not drink wine until He drank it with His disciples in Heaven (Matthew 26:29)
• The First Fruits wave offering, which occurs during the feast of Unleavened Bread. This feast begins on the 15th of Nisan and lasts for 7 days. A priest takes a sheaf of Barley and waves it before the Lord to be accepted. This is why Jesus told Mary not to touch Him in the garden, because He had to go present Himself to the Father to see if His sacrifice was accepted. 
• Red Sea Splits and Israel walks over on dry land.
• First Tabernacle was erected in the dessert
• Joshua and the Israelites crossed the Jordan river into the promised land, Joshua 5:10 speaks of the Israelites celebrating Passover after crossing the Jordan River on dry ground.
• Jesus at age 12 amazed the religious scholars in Jerusalem on Passover. Luke 2:41
• Jesus rode into Jerusalem on Nisan 10, fulfilling the Daniel 9:25 prophecy precisely to the day!
• Jesus was crucified on Nisan 14, on Passover
• Nisan is in Spring and is a time for weddings
• Jesus rose from the dead on Nisan 17!

In addition, the sun is in Aries during the months of Adar and Nisan from March 21- April 19th 

I posted about these constellations a few weeks ago.  Here are the Constellations of Aries

The Ram or the Lamb  (The Blessings of the Redeemed Consummated and Enjoyed)

Cassiopeia (The Enthroned Woman) The Captive delivered and preparing for her Husband and Redeemer. Last month in Pices, we saw this woman in chains. Now we see her delivered and enthroned!

Cetus (The Sea Monster) The Great Enemy Bound

Perseus (The Breaker) Delivering His Redeemed!

For more information on these constellations, I encourage you to read The Witness in the Stars by  EW Bullinger!

To me, this presents the perfect story of the Bride being delivered from the hands of the monster by our redeemer, Jesus and then being seated in the Heavenlies awaiting our wedding!   All this happens before April 20th!  

Not setting a date!  However, you cannot deny that Nisan is a very interesting month!!

Keep looking up!!

The Red Horse Rides!

 Dear Precious Saints,

Some of you have contacted me about my missing Friday post. Thank you for your concern. I'm currently seeking the Lord on what to do going forward with this blog. I'm sensing from Him that I'm to continue warning the saints, waking up the lukewarm, and encouraging the Bride. However, I'm not going to stick to a normal schedule, but will post things as the Lord leads me to. In other words, there may not be a regular Friday post, but there could be several throughout the week, depending on what is happening and what the Lord wishes me to convey. 

Having said that, I woke up this morning with an urgency to share the following information about what is happening in the Middle East. Those who follow me on my Telegram channel already know this, but for those of you who don't or who don't have time to dig deep for the real news, here goes. 

On Monday, the United States deployed three B-2 Stealth Bombers to Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.  That puts them within range of both Yemen and Iran.  As of 2024, the US Air Force has nineteen B-2 stealth bombers in service. These are super-high-tech bombers. 

On Tuesday, four MORE B-2 Stealth Bombers left for Diego Garcia overnight. Now, we have Seven of these stealth bombers, 7 out of 18, all gathered on Diego Garcia.

Could this be the soon coming attack on Iran? The United States of America does not position seven of its most expensive, most high-tech bombers, halfway around the world, to "posture."   They put those planes out when they're going to be used.

• Iran is a military ally of Russia, and a BRICS economic ally of both Russia and China. 
• Both Russia and China have openly, publicly, stated they will "not stand-by and allow Iran to be attacked."
• If the US and/or Israel goes ahead with an attack upon Iran, the reaction by both Russia and China could be to put an end to the United States and our shenanigans.

At least 18 US Air Force refueling tankers are being staged in the Pacific with several each at Travis AFB in CA, Daniel K. Inouye IAP in HI, and Andersen AFB in Guam. This suggests some kind of large movement of air assets into the Pacific theater - or the Indian Ocean - will take place this week.

In addition to the B-2 Stealth Bombers and eighteen Refueling tankers reported above, 7 C-17A Globemaster IIIs have arrived over the last 3 days, or are currently en-route to the island. 

The military base at Diego Garcia has very limited space and, believe it or not, there have to be "Reservations" for aircraft parking spaces at that base! The United States has secured aircraft parking spaces for the B2 Stealth "until May 1."

Hence,  whatever is going to be done with those Stealth Bombers, must necessarily take place between now and May 1.    Interesting that Trump has given Iran an ultimatum to reach a nuclear deal that ends on May 1st.

The base at Diego Garcia is in the Indian Ocean.   The aircraft at that base - especially the Stealth Bombers - are now "in-range" for Yemen and Iran.  

History records that when NATO attacked Yugoslavia in March of the year 1999, the United States sent three (3) B-2 Stealth Bombers during the 78 days of bombing that ultimately crushed that country and broke it apart. Why then are SIX now massed at Diego Garcia? Iran.

Iran has a military defense Treaty with Russia, and China has publicly declared they "will not allow our fellow BRICS member, and ally, Iran, to be attacked and destroyed."

So if the US (and likely Israel) have any ideas about attacking Iran and destroying it, we could see world war 3 break-out so fast none of us would have time to even think.

Iran has delivered its response to President Trump's letter through a message conveyed by the Sultanate of Oman.

According to intelligence sources, the Iranian response consists mainly of the following points:

1. Iran reaffirms that it will not negotiate directly with the United States, especially under the policy of maximum pressure, and it rejects the American approach categorically.

2. Iran states that it does not negotiate on behalf of any regional power, and that Iran does not dictate the foreign policy of other nations or groups, including Yemen's Ansarallah, which is an independent ally.

3. Iran states that it will not accept Trump's 'unrealistic conditions', and that the U.S. demands were so extensive that they cannot be entertained even hypothetically.

4. Iran warns unequivocally that any military or hostile action, whether by the United States or any of its 'stooges', will be met with an Iranian response that will encompass all U.S. military assets in the Middle East.

Europe is encouraging its citizens to prepare a 3 day emergency survival bag in case of war. Also France has issued instructions to its citizens what to do if nuclear war happens. 

From Iran

'We possess missiles whose range are unknown, and they are stored in fortified places where the enemy cannot reach them. 

Anyone who attacks an Iranian ship, we will follow them to the Gulf of Mexico if we have to, and we will strike back at them. There is no escape.”

Parliament Speaker Mohammad Qalibaf: "If the Americans attack the sanctity of Iran, the entire region will blow up like a spark in an ammunition dump."

Tehran would strike US bases in the region if Washington follows through on its warning of military consequences for Iran in the absence of a new nuclear deal, the speaker of the Iranian parliament said on Friday.

There's just too many threats and things happening to ignore this. I know we tend to feel safe here in America but we live in a different age now. I'm not trying to cause fear. I simply want you to be aware of what is going on. 

What does that mean for those of us who Love Jesus? The Red Horse of the Apocalypse is saddled, bridled, and stomping its hooves ready to go!  And we will be gone before that happens! 

However, it's possible that instead of war breaking out yet, all these threats could lead to a peace deal between Isreal and the "many" according to Daniel 9:27.  Trump has been talking this week about the Abraham Accords, how he is working on that agreement again and getting more nations involved!  I believe this will end up being that covenant Daniel speaks of. And that CANNOT happen until we are with Jesus according to 2 Thess 2.

We do know World War 3 is coming. The Global Satanic Elite have even predicted it in their writings. And though we may witness a portion of it, we will not be here for the massive world war spoken about in Revelation 6 when the Red Horse Rides.  

We are so close to going home, Saints!  So be of good cheer! Walk in the Spirit and not in the Flesh and keep the praises of God always on your lips!  Spend as much time with Jesus as you can. 

Sending you all love and blessings!

    

Instructions for the Times In Which we Live!

 Last week I was led to read Psalm 37 and it really leapt off the page at me. It seemed as though the Holy Spirit wrote this for all of us during these last minutes before the Tribulation. Let's face it, things are getting tough out there AND things are getting tough in each of our own lives. So, I pray what I believe to be the Holy Spirit's commentary on this passage will bless you!

Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 1-2

Maybe it's just me but sometimes I look at people who not only don't know the Lord but who are evil and doing evil things and it appears by all accounts, they are having the time of their lives! They have mansions, yachts, jewels, the best health care, vacations all over the world, the most gorgeous clothing, servants, and the best food. And I sometimes wonder at it all when I know so many Godly people struggling. I even know fellow believers who are very lukewarm in their faith and who aren't walking in submission to the Lord but who are living fabulous lives!  But the Lord is clear in these verses: Don't be envious, they will soon be cut down.

Further down in verses 9-10, the Lord further explains

For evildoers shall be cut off;  But those who wait on the Lord, They shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;
Indeed, you will look carefully for his place, but it shall be no more.

And even more in verses 12-15

The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth.

The Lord laughs at him, for He sees that his day is coming.

The wicked have drawn the sword and have bent their bow,

To cast down the poor and needy, to slay those who are of upright conduct.

Their sword shall enter their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.!

As we see the Satanic globalists taking over the world and governments bit by bit, starting wars, creating famines, unleashing deadly plagues, and as the verses above say, "plotting against the just, casting down the poor and needy and slaying those of upright conduct" it can be discouraging!  But I love it that the Lord LAUGHS!  He laughs at all their evil plans. Why? Because He is on the throne and with one thought, he could incinerate them. He laughs at their arrogance and audacity to think they could defeat Him and His children. And He knows their time is short.

This is the fate of the wicked. 

But the wicked shall perish;

And the enemies of the Lord,

Like the splendor of the meadows, shall vanish.

Into smoke they shall vanish away.

The rest of the psalm gives us believers clear instructions about what to do in light of all the evil around us AND what promises are in store for us if stay the course, love the Lord, and follow Him to the end.

I don't know about you, but all that sounds fabulous! Five times in this psalm, the Lord promises that we will inherit the Earth. Think about that. Inherit means we will be co-heirs and owners along with Jesus. The entire planet! Ruling and reigning with Him. Amazing. 

So, my dear saints, stay the course set before you. Don't get upset about what evil people are doing and planning. The Lord is laughing at them! They will some day all perish and be gone, along with all memory of them. But those who love Jesus and follow Him can cling to every promise He made here in this Psalm and in the whole Bible. 

Believe! And REST in the Lord and Wait for Him. He is coming! And He is bringing His reward with Him!!
