I said I would not post much news anymore, but these few things screamed at me to share, on the off chance, some of you are not aware. Not that we can do much about this level of evil, but the Bible says we are to be wise as serpents, gentle as doves.
All this says to me is The Tribulation is all ready to begin. The only thing holding it back is US!
FLOCK Cameras
Have you heard of these cameras? I first heard about them from JD. Farag. Then a friend of mind on Telegram brought them to my attention. Apparently they have installed them everywhere... in our neighborhood streets, along our cities, next to schools and churches. Watching our every move. Inputting everything about us into an AI database, including (as you see below) our license plates. Which means they can track you wherever you drive.
Saints, they are all ready for the Beast to take his place on the throne. With all this tech and cameras, there's no where to hide, no place on Earth except deep in the forest (and I'm not even sure about that. as you'll see below)
Some people may say (and I've heard this) that the government won't be interested in their lives. Believe me when I say that they absolutely will, especially if you go against their orders and commands.
A newly surfaced patent tied to Wells Fargo outlines a system using microscopic sensors—often referred to as “smart dust”—to authenticate individuals during financial transactions.
These tiny microelectromechanical devices are designed to collect biometric data and transmit it to a system verifying identity in real time.
According to the patent, the particles could gather sensitive data such as physical characteristics or even images, raising serious questions about how far financial institutions may go in the future to secure—and potentially monitor—transactions.
I encourage you to watch this short video from Greg Reese, who explains what this smart dust is, what it does, and how combined with AI it will be used to implement the social credit score system, among other methods of control.
If you don't know what the social credit score system is, think of it as a report card. Every person gets good or bad grades according to what they do. Obey the rules, good grade. Break a law, bad grade. If you consistently get good grades, you are rewarded by food and housing. If you get bad grades, you will not get either of those things. China is already implementing a form of this.
UFO Entities Warned U.S. Officials Their War on God Has Started
I'm posting a link to an hour long video here that some of you may find interesting. I know I did! It will give you a peek behind the veil at what is really going on in our government with UFOs and Aliens. Keep an open mind and listen to these wonderful men of God.
I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus, that you were enriched in everything by Him in all utterance and all knowledge,6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you, so that you come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Forgive me, but this will be more of a personal rant than anything. I'm weary. I'm weary of the news. I'm weary of the predictions for the rapture, I'm weary of the blatant evil of this world. I'm weary of the gross immorality. I'm weary of trying to find something to watch on TV that doesn't have sex, nudity, or blasphemy! I'm weary of Christians who have no clue what's going on prophectically. I'm weary of Christians who love this world more than Jesus. I'm weary of immature believers whose lives look exactly like the lost, who are selfish, consumed with pleasures, and complain about every inconvenience. I'm weary of false doctrines and false teachers and prophets. I'm weary of worrying for my own lost and lukewarm loved ones, of praying and fasting for them constantly. I'm just plain weary.
I want to go home.
I hope and pray that most of you reading this have at least one other person in your life who has their eyes open. One other person who loves Jesus and sees Biblical prophecy playing out right in front of them. Someone you can share with, be consoled by, and pray with together. Someone to walk through the matrix with, hand in hand, so you don't feel like you've lost your mind.
If you don't, then, like me, you may often wonder if you are just a weirdo, an eccentric conspiracy nut who has everything wrong. It certainly would explain the odd looks I get whenever I try to point out something prophetic happening. Which I don't do very often anymore.
I am continually surrounded by family members and friends who constantly talk about the future. My kids, my husband, my siblings, etc.
I constantly hear things like:
When my kids go to college...
When we are old and gray...
Next year, we're flying to Hawaii...
I can't wait to have grandkids...
We are buying a new home with a pool next year...
Why don't we save up to redo the kitchen?
When I come for a visit at Christmas...
And on and on it goes. This is after I've told everyone of them that the rapture is close and the Tribulation is at hand. They just continue with life and plans as if what I said went in one ear and out the other. So, I just nod and smile and say nothing more.
Some of you might be familiar with The Matrix. It's a scifi movie that might not be your cup of tea, but I highly recommend it for the prophetic and spiritual underlying content. The general theme is that everything we see, feel, touch, and taste in this physical realm is all fake. It is part of a digital simulation... like a video game, in which the rulers of the world, have placed people to live. The problem is, their life is not real. It's digital. And their real physical bodies are in a giant warehouse somewhere being used as a power source. I know, sounds gross.
But the overarching problem, the heartbreak, was that all these people were going about living their lives year after year, not once realizing that none of it was real... that real life exists outside of the digital world. Just as real life for us, exists outside of this Earthly, physical realm. Paul tells us that we see through a glass darkly.
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 1 Corinthians 13:12
AND
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 1 Corinthians 2:9
If you've ever listened to anyone who had a NDE or a vision/visitation of heaven, they all say that it is far more real and more beautiful than anything they ever saw on Earth. Often, these people can't put into words what they've seen because there aren't words!
The truth is, we actually do live in a digital world. Scientists are now just beginning to understand what our reality exists of and that we only exist in 3 dimensions (4 if you count time) out of at least 20 more dimensions.
But I digress.
The hero of The Matrix (Neo) finally wakes up to the truth of his digital reality and he is whisked outside of the video game into the real world. This is where the movie alters a bit from Scripture because the real world is a devastated and dark Earth after what must have been a nuclear destruction.
However, after some training, the hero can enter back at will into the digital world. As he walks the streets and watches everyone going about their lives, he KNOWS that it is all fake. He knows the truth. But he can't just tell them. They won't believe him. He has to show them, he has to wake them up, one by one.
There's a lot more to the movie, including "agents" that represent demons and how we can use spiritual powers to defeat them.
I'm saying all this because I often feel exactly like Neo. I know more than I wish I knew, actually. I know in part the depths of evil in this world, in our own government, the child sacrifice, the pedophilia, satan worshipers, the lies and deceptions. I know how most of the news is fake, how all the people in power are just actors on a stage, that anyone with fame or fortune sold their souls to Satan. I know they are spraying us like bugs, poisoning our food and medicine, and that the upcoming "alien" disclosure is all about demons and fallen angels. I know that the AI revolution is about complete control over every person alive. (If this is all a shock to you, then you are still in the Matrix) I know Satan is in charge of this world. I know Bible Prophecy is being played out line by line right in front of us. I know Jesus is returning soon... the rapture quite possibly this year. The second coming seven or less years afterward.
I know that all the plans my friends and family members are making will not come to fruition.
Yet... I've tried to tell them. I've tried to wake them up. but they all just go about their lives like nothing bad will ever happen and life will just go on and on. Believe me, I grew up believing everything I learned in school and everything I knew about the world was true. It's not easy to break out of that. Why? Because lying in the bed of lies they have created is comfortable and peaceful.
Whereas the truth is frightening, painful, and discouraging.
Here in America, we are even more prone to something called Normalcy Bias. Aside from Pearl Harbor and 9-11 (Both planned and carried out), our nation has never been attacked. We've never suffered war, famine, lack. Because of the great number of Christians here, God's hand has blessed us. Most of us have never been hungry or homeless. Our grocery stores are full of more food than people in some other nations see in a year at their own markets. As I grew up, I believed most people were good, that if I worked hard enough I could get a good job someday, get married, buy a house, and have kids. The Great American Dream was alive and well. And I believe most Americans still believe in it, despite the wickedness surrounding them.
So, it becomes easy to believe that the wars going on now are far away from us and won't come here, that the economy will rise again like it always has in the past, that new jobs will open up, new opportunities for our kids and grandkids, that with God's grace, a spiritual revival will bring many people back to church. My own husband believes everything moves in cycles. He believes that even the gross immortality of our present age will shift back to a Biblical morality eventually.
Nothing bad can ever touch us here. We are the greatest nation on Earth!
Until one day in the near future, one day...one hour.. when everything changes. And life as we know it ceases to exist. But that's a very hard thing for people to believe.
Regardless that it is written in the Holy Scriptures! Even if some people know Biblical prophecy, they will say, No, that has to be for another time, another generation. Not ours. That's years away. Nothing to worry about.
Yet, if they really wanted to know the truth, they'd clearly see how everything is converging, all the signs are here, all the prophecies happening everywhere. Even ignoring all that, the calendar tells us we are close!
So, I have to conclude that most people don't want to know the truth. They like their comfortable lives. In the Matrix movie, there is a character who was awakened to the truth, who left the digital fake world and lived in the real world. But it was a hard existence. He didn't have the comforts he knew in the fake world. He missed life as he once had experienced it. So, he willingly betrayed his friends and went back into the digital world to enjoy a good meal and a soft bed, EVEN KNOWING that it wasn't real.
I never understood that and to this day, I still don't. I'd rather know the truth and live in squalor with Jesus than go back into the world with tons of riches.
For our light, momentary affliction, this slight distress of the passing hour, is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!, Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal, brief and fleeting, but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.
I'm posting just a few news items I found pertinent to Biblical prophecy that caught my eye. I'm probably not going to report the news on this blog anymore.. at least not as extensively as I have in the past. The reason is that I'm really not an investigative reporter, and there are so many other wonderful people out there with that skill set. Where do I get most of my news? Telegram. I highly recommend you download the app.. on phone, tablet, or your computer. Then Look for my channel
"Cross and Cutlass End Times" and join.
What I do there is wade through all the other news channels I sub to and pull out what I consider the most important news, and then I post it on my channel. You will also be able to see all the channels I sub to and then join them if you want as well. I GET NO MONEY OR POINTS for you joining my channel. It's just a way for you to get the latest prophecy news quickly.
Having said that, here's some interesting information. What I see from all of this and from all the news I read during the week is that the world is all set to begin the Tribulation! It's only going to take one spark, a nod from Almighty God, and the rescue of the Bride to set things off! So, be of good cheer!
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is reportedly advancing an executive order that would require banks to collect and verify citizenship information from both new and existing account holders, signaling a major shift in financial oversight. Officials argue the move is tied to national security and ensuring banks truly “know your customer,” with Bessent questioning how institutions can operate without knowing a client’s legal status. Critics warn the policy could trigger massive compliance costs, increased fees, and potential exclusion of millions from the banking system, while raising serious concerns about privacy and government overreach
We see how they use all the illegal immigrants they allowed to pour into our country as an excuse now to have a Digital ID... both tied to our banking and our identity for voting, driving, and eventually medical usage. I've talked to liberals about this and they see no problem. I've even talked to conservatives who think it's great. Why? They trust the government. They believe the government has their best interest at heart. But that alone shows their naivety.
And now in the UK, you won't be able to go anywhere without some camera following your every move. In the name of safety, right?
I'm copying this article below. It may sound far-fetched but I've actually heard and read about this before. If it's true, then the powers that be are far more evil than we can imagine.
The world’s oil and gas supplies are being deliberately destroyed via the staged Iran conflict and Hormuz blockade, which will inadvertently lead to supply chain breakdowns, hyperinflation, food shortages, and travel restrictions, among others
But unbeknownst to most, oil is not a “fossil fuel” nor some scarce resource. In fact, every time you see the term “fossil fuel” on the news or in the textbooks, you're being lied to
In 1892, at the Geneva Convention, John D. Rockefeller paid scientists to call oil a “fossil fuel” to induce the idea of scarcity and to set and control the world price for oil
Yet the truth is that oil is actually the second-most prevalent liquid on earth next to water, and regenerates within the earth faster than it can ever be depleted
Oil will never run out. Its renewable; not a “fossil fuel” and it only takes approximately 10 years for animal and plant matter to become oil
All resource scarcity is an artificial construct of the ruling predator class used to control the masses…
CHINA TO US- "LAST WARNING"🔴
"China has taken note of the United State's unlawful interception of a civilian cargo ship traveling from China to Iran. Let us be absolutely clear: The US may do many things on the world stage. But attacking, detaining, or harassing ships traveling from China, or returning to China, will not be taken in good will by the Chinese government and people. Such actions will be regarded as a direct attack on China’s sovereignty, its trade, and its core interests. This is the last warning for the United States. Do not miscalculate. Do not play with fire. China will take all necessary measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests. The US will bear full responsibility for any consequences arising from further provocations."- Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson
There are several prophecies about China, along with Russia, attacking the US mainland. I believe it will happen.
ISRAEL TO HOST LARGEST PRIDE FESTIVAL IN MIDDLE EAST HISTORY AT DEAD SEA
A massive four-day event known as “Pride Land” is set to transform the Judean Desert into a 24/7 “Pride City” from June 1–4, featuring hotels, beach complexes, nonstop parties, and large-scale performances.
Organizers say the festival will go far beyond entertainment, including cultural exhibits, family-friendly zones, and activities designed to attract a multigenerational audience in what is being described as the biggest initiative of its kind in the region.
I'm mentioning this because so many Christians almost worship Israel. But most Israelis are not God-fearing. Most are secular, and the ones who are God-fearing are similar to the Pharisees. Israel is doing the same thing they've always done. Rebel against Almighty God. But we do know that God still has a covenant with them and He promises to redeem and save a remnant of His Chosen People. Which is the entire purpose of the Tribulation.
TURKEY in Gog-Magog
Turkey is taking over the Palmyra Air Base in Syria. This base will be used, according to local sources, to deliver a strong counterattack AGAINST ISRAEL in the event of a possible attack BY ISRAEL ON SYRIA
Turkey is completing its preparations...Turkey is getting ready for their destiny to be dealt with in Ezekiel 38
Be Blessed Saints! Spend time with Jesus. Make Him Lord of your Life and your first Love. He's crazy about you! This World has nothing for you. It is fast fading away. All that matters is that you are a son or daughter of the Most High and you have an inheritance in heaven that will never fade, rust, be stolen, destroyed or get lost. For all eternity!
Do you realize what your inheritance is? You will rule and reign with Jesus! You are adopted into the family of God. You are legally a Son or Daughter of God Almighty with all the same privileges and wealth and power that comes along with it.
Do you deserve that? I don't. I deserve hell fire for all eternity for what I've done. But Jesus took all of that on Himself.. along with all your sins, when he suffered immensely and died and rose again. This is all given to us freely!
That's why every single true believer should be on their face in worship before Him every day of our lives. We should be the most joyful, peaceful, loving people on the planet. Sadly, that is so rarely the case.
Do we truly believe what I just spoke? It's all in the Bible. Or are we just playing church, hoping to get into heaven one day?
Check your heart. It could mean the difference between leaving soon or being left behind.
Saints, I'm reposting this post from 2022 because it is so relevant today. This is something I constantly ask myself. Is Jesus first in my life? This post isn't meant to condemn but rather as a sort of self-checkup for all of us. Because time is so very very short.
Forgive
me in advance, for this post will be a bit of a rant. Over recent
weeks, I've encountered a good number of Christians who have zero
interest in the rapture, who say it's years away, who shout that "No Man
Can Know the Day or Hour", and who deny we are anywhere near the end of
days. I have even talked with family members who are preterists (they
believe all the end times prophecies in the Bible have already been
fulfilled). Then there's the Dominionists (also mostly preterists) who
believe it's the Church's job to take over the world before Jesus
returns.
Want to know one thing I find in common with all these people?
They love this world.
They
have plans for their futures. They want to get married, see their kids
married, have grandkids, buy homes, go on vacations, advance in their
careers, etc. They have good plans for their future, and they surely
aren't ready to go to heaven. I've even had people say to me "I don't
want Jesus to come yet. I want to see my kids have children. I want to
raise my grandkids."
These
are all good things. But not if they come before your love for Jesus.
Jesus is to be our first love above all else, above everything in this
world.
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2:15
That's
a tough Scripture. We are told to NOT love this world or anything in
it. Why? Because this world is fallen, filled with wickedness and sin,
and controlled by Satan. Does God give us good things to enjoy? Yes. But
we should NEVER put them above Him.
He
who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who
loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does
not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who
finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will
find it. Matthew 10:37-39
Another
tough Scripture, but I don't think Jesus was kidding, do you? We are
not to love anything or anyone above Jesus. Is that because He's some
kind of narcissistic God who needs worship? No! He's actually trying to
save you! He knows that if you put anything above Him, you're likely to
get entangled with the things of this world, which leads to more
deception, more entanglement, and eventually hell.
No
one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the
other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You
cannot serve God and mammon. Matthew 6:24
God
gave His only Son to live in a fallen human body, endure all kinds of
hatred, insults, and rejection, only to die one of the most horrific and
painful deaths known to man, in order to save YOU. He has every right
to require your utmost love and devotion. How sad it must make Him to
see people who claim to know Him, but who would rather live for this
world and all its pleasures than follow Him.
Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ Matthew 22:37
The
problem lies in truly loving Jesus. We can say we love Him. But if we
really don't want to be with Him yet, then do we? If we really and truly
love Him above all else, we would want to be with Him above all else.
And the rapture would be something we would crave and look forward to
with great anticipation.
If
you don't love Jesus like that. If you aren't beyond excited to see
Him. If the thought of the rapture makes you uneasy because you have
plans, then I encourage you to check your heart. If you love this world
and you don't want to go in the rapture, God is a gentleman. He will not
take you.
I
know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you
were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold
nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth Revelation 3:15-16
It
doesn't matter what you believe about the rapture timing or prophecy,
if you don't love the Lord with all your heart and desire more than
anything to be with Him, you are in a dangerous place. For one thing, it
leads to all sorts of deception and false doctrines, which I've seen in
my own family. For another, it could get you left behind.
If
that is you, please get alone with the Lord and repent and ask Him to
teach you how to love Him with all your heart. In my experience, the
best way to do that is by spending time with Jesus, in conversation and
in His Word.
I know many of you have seen the picture above that Trump posted on his social media. I'm only putting it here in case you haven't. Trump wrote it off by saying something like he is healing the nation, but look at his clothing. It is similar to something Jesus would wear. Not to mention the golden light in his hand! There are only three possibilities for what this man is doing. 1. He has completely lost his mind and is delusional. 2. He is demon-possessed and being controlled by Fallen Angels or the Devil himself, or 3. He is the most arrogant narcissistic man ever to live.
Notice the strange figures in the clouds above him, and in particular the one in the middle with what looks like wings and three horns. I've seen posts where people are saying this is Apollo, the Roman god, the chief god, who also represents Satan. That would make sense because Trump's apartment in NY has statues of Apollo everywhere! It utterly confounds me how any Christian can still support this man. Yet... many still do. Many in my own family!
To make matters worse, here is the Arch Trump has proposed to build in D.C. The Trump Administration has unveiled design plans for the ‘Triumphal Arch,’ soon to be constructed in Washington DC. Notice
“one nation under god” is inscribed directly under the golden angel,
which is a depiction of Lucifer. In classical mythology, Lucifer was
often depicted as a male figure holding a torch. Clearly, the “god” of
America is not the Lord Jesus Christ
I find it interesting that
this arch is a near-perfect mirror of the Arch of Constantine in Rome.
Fitting, considering Washington DC sits on a plot of land formerly
called “Rome” and Trump has previously been compared to Constantine. In Masonry, the Royal Arch is the doorway for the profane (uninitiated) into the Temple (the mysteries)
Perhaps
through this arch “they” are hinting at humanity’s initiation from
darkness into the false light, of which the occult believes Lucifer will
lead mankind through, where all faiths will be united under their false
light-bearer and led into his so called “enlightened” aquarian golden
age
It does appear that some people might be waking up. Finally
Is Trump the AC? No, I don't think so, but I do think he is being used by the Elite Satanists to set up the AC Kingdom. Whether he is a willing participant in that, I have no idea.
As I scrolled through the news this week, I find myself less and less interested in any of it. I want to have a general idea of what's going on, but honestly, I need no more proof of how close we are to the Tribulation starting and our departure. So, I will list a very few of the things that caught my eye below, under News if you're interested, but mainly I want to discuss a few things I feel are very important.
Iran's Shia Eschatological Mission
The first one is about Iran and their "religion" Some of you may already know this, some don't. But it's important to understand where they are coming from and why they will never give up, concede, compromise or stick to any treaty.
Tehran Mayor Zakani says Post-war Iran will rise to a new lever and "Prepare Humanity for the coming of the Mahdi." In Shia Islam, the Mahdi, Muhammad Al Mahdi, was born in 869 CE and he did not die. He is believed to be still alive and over 1,100 years old. This "Mahdi will return at the end of times to establish justice."
The
Iranian regime considers their nation to be chosen by Allah to prepare
the world for the coming of their messiah, the Twelfth Imam (whom they
call the Mahdi) who will establish justice in the world. They believe
that catastrophic world chaos and the defeat of their enemies,
especially Israel, are prerequisites for this event. Their murder and
mayhem is not only a means to an end; according to their religion it is
an end in itself, and their foreign policy is guided by the desired
impending apocalypse. This makes them a most dangerous foe, since there
is no chance of negotiating with them or resolving the conflict
peacefully; peace and justice will come only through their own
martyrdom, in their view.
To Iran’s leadership, Israel represents
far more than a political adversary—it is a spiritual challenge that
must be overcome to fulfill divine prophecy. In Twelver Shia theology,
the world must be conquered and ruled by Muslims for the Mahdi to
return, hence death to American and Israel.
Israel is declared to
be the “obstacle” to the return of the Mahdi. Iranian officials
frequently cite horrific beliefs, like the notion that the Mahdi won’t
return until the “last drop of Jewish blood” is spilled. (That belief
does not come from the Quran.) The regime has used it to galvanize its
people and its proxies to make war against Israel.
If Israel is
eliminated, the logic goes, Iran will have removed the last remaining
obstacle delaying the Mahdi’s return. This is why Iran’s leaders believe
that they must “wipe Israel off the map.”
Iran’s regime believes
nuclear weapons will allow them to destroy Israel, and possibly the
world, facilitating the necessary chaos for the arrival of the Twelfth
Imam.
It is interesting to note that if you study the Mahdi, he has almost all the characteristics of the Anti-Christ from the Bible. In any case, Iran is not going to back down... not until God completely destroys them in the Gog-Magog war.
Possible Soon Coming Events
Not to invoke fear, but I feel led to list a few coming events that have been prophesied by several watchmen and Godly people who receive dreams and visions. I normally don't do this because it's very hard when you don't know someone face to face to determine whether they are truly speaking for God. Even if they think they are, we are all human and make mistakes. But when I hear something repeated multiple times by different people, I start to think it might be from the Lord.
1. The Abraham Lincoln and possibly another Aircraft carrier or Navy ship will be hit and sunk. This will be a kickoff event that will bring much shame to America and prove to the world that we are no longer a super power.
2. A limited nuclear exchange will occur in the Middle East. As as result of the above? I don't know. But it will shock the world and cause people across the globe to beg their leaders for more controls, more restrictions, less freedoms, so this won't happen again.
3. New York City will be attacked at some point. There are multiple prophecies about Tidal waves sweeping over the city
4. President Trump will be assassinated. I wouldn't even bother to post this, but so many people have seen this, that I thought it wise to include it. When this occurs, it will cause civil war and chaos in America and across the world.
5. Obama will return. In what capacity, I have no idea. But it will be on his watch that America falls.
Once these things start, the rest will happen quickly. I'm listing them here as a record so that when/if they occur, people will know that God has told us in advance.
NEWS:
I could add much more to this, but these things stood out. AI is taking over. The rate at which it is growing and becoming aware and enhancing itself is stunning. Of course I believe it is being run by demons. It is running our military and now it is infiltrating Christianity.
Prices are rising, people are being laid off, famine is coming. I know more people with cancer now than I've known in my entire life. The shot? Trump is even telling us there is a Great Reset coming. But it's not the reset his followers think. Global economic failure, meteors, trumpets blasting, earthquakes, floods, volcanoes, the coming digital id, gross immorality, an AI Jesus! Wars everywhere. Israel surrounded! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that we are at the end.
Anyway, browse below if you're interested. Otherwise, the best advice I can give you is to cling, no, cleave to Jesus. Spend time with Him. Read His Word. Praise Him. And be ready to go home!
Mandatory Digital ID coming to Mexico this year.
A sweeping new law in Mexico now requires EVERY cellphone number to be tied to a verified identity — no exceptions. Whether prepaid or contract, SIM or eSIM, every line must be linked to a real person using official ID… or risk being shut down. By June 30, 2026, millions of users must comply — or their phones will go silent. Authorities say this is to combat crime like extortion and fraud by eliminating anonymous communication. Yeah, right.
And David said, Is there still anyone left of the house of Saul to whom I may show kindness for Jonathan’s sake? 2 Samuel 9:1
David had finally established his Kingdom and was ruling and reigning out of Jerusalem. But here we see him asking about any relative of Jonathan. For those of you who don't know who Jonathan was, he was King Saul's son who had befriended David. The two of them had been more than best friends. They were very tight and deeply cared for each other. At some point, Jonathan betrayed David, though Scripture doesn't mention exactly what it was.
However, here we see David wanting to bless anyone connected with Jonathan. David is a type and shadow of Jesus. His kingship over Israel is an everlasting kingdom and God told David there would always be one of his descendants on the throne... with the final one being Jesus, Himself.
I was reading this chapter of Samuel and the story leapt out at me. Not that I hadn't read it before.. many times.. but this time, it took on a new meaning.
The king said, Is there not still someone of the house of Saul to whom I may show the unfailing, unsought, unlimited mercy and kindness of God? Ziba replied, Jonathan has yet a son who is lame in his feet. v3
David finally finds someone who knows a relative of Jonathan. Jonathan had a son who was crippled, disabled we might say in our present time. The Scripture tell us he was "lame in his feet". In ancient Israel, people who had disabilities were often looked down on. It was believed that the person must have committed a horrible sin for God to allow or even cause their disability. We often see in the Bible how the lame and blind wandered about, begging for money so they could eat. A crippled man was not allowed to be a priest. He could enter the courtyard of the temple, but not any further. To be crippled brought shame and often ostracization from society.
So, I got to thinking about this in spiritual terms. The Bible says "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." We ALL, are, in a sense, spiritually disabled. None of us are worthy to worship before a Holy God. We should all be considered outcasts, shameful and outsiders to the Kingdom of God.
That's why Jesus came to Earth, to seek and save the lost, to offer Himself as a sacrifice so we could become a part of His Kingdom. And since David is a type and shadow of Jesus, it warmed my heart to see him do the same thing. No, he didn't sacrifice himself but he went out of his way to inquire after and bring to his kingdom a cripple, the son of a man who had betrayed him and the grandsom of a man who had hated him and sought to kill him (King Saul).
And Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David and fell on his face and did obeisance. David said, Mephibosheth! And he answered, Behold your servant! v 6 Then in verse 8, And the cripple bowed himself and said, What is your servant, that you should look upon such a dead dog as I am?
He calls himself a dead dog. This is how we should approach our Lord.. with humility and reverential fear. Because without Jesus, that's just what we are: Dead Dogs.
What's really awesome is that David restores this "dead dog" to the land Jonathan and Saul owned. Not only that, David provided a host of servants to do all the work. But best of all, he orders Mephibosheth to eat at his table every day.
So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem, for he ate continually at the king’s table, [even though] he was lame in both feet. v 13
What a great shadow of what our Lord does for us! He takes us when we were still sinners, outcasts, dogs, and then dies for us, brings us into His Kingdom and insists we join Him at His royal table.
Yet, another thing struck me as I read this story. David only restored this young cripple because of Jonathan. The lad was Jonathan's son. David and Jonathan had a close relationship. That's why David showed mercy on Mephibosheth.
God will do the same for all the descendants of those who truly love Him and have a close relationship with Him! So, this story is not only about us and God's mercy toward us, but of God's mercy toward our descendants.
I know many of you, like me, have lost children and grandkids... so be of good cheer, the Lord wants to restore them to their rightful inheritance and host them at His table in His Kingdom! That's what leapt out at me about this story as I read it. So have faith. Pray. And believe!
