Love infinite, pure, and true
remember when you were a child playing with your best friend
how quickly the hours passed. How you wouldn‘t have minded if the sun never set on that day so you could be together always.
the sleepy moments as your alarm rings, when your bed is the warmest, softest, safest. You don’t want to move.
a night of giddy restlessness as you wait for Christmas morning. the joy that filled you when you saw colorful boxes under the tree. Mysterious gifts, something special just for you.
the first time you heard your favorite song or saw The Best Movie ever. something so wonderful, you wish you could forget, so it could stay new
all of this is love
theres more to it, though
awaiting you after the end of all things
expressed in new ways. Forms the human mind can not begin to conceive.
new types of joy, excitement, safety, bliss
new things to discover every day, the seeds of which were planted before the beginning of time, waiting just for you
because you were created by love, for love, to know more about the love that knows you
He’s almost here
He’s been waiting all this time, just for you. Calling your name. Holding out His hand.
all you need to do is accept the truth
the truth about this world: that it doesn’t love you. That it is perishing.
the truth about yourself: that you can’t save yourself. That you’ve fallen, failed, sinned. Guilty, but unsure if whom to ask for forgiveness
the truth about Him: that He knows everything you are, everything you’ve done and will do. He died because He loves you and wants you to live.
He wants to be with you forever; love itself, which is God, who is Jesus, has invited you to join in eternity
(but he won’t wait forever)
(what do you have left to lose?)

reminder: the power of peace
Not many see peace as a sign of strength. In the animal kingdom, gentle, docile creatures are prey, while predators prowl restlessly for food. Sheep have more peace than wolves. The average person has more peace than the rich and famous, who always seem to hunger for more. 
But as someone who experiences periods of profound, all-encompassing peace, I can tell you that peace is both the root and marker of true power. 
When you are at peace, you don’t feel inferior or superior to anyone or anything. 
When you are have true peace, nothing and no one in this world can take it away. 
Peace is clarity. Peace motivates kindness, gentleness, and makes forgiveness possible. 
The most difficult and (seemingly) absurd commandment from Jesus was to love your enemies; love those who hate you, pray for those who persecute you, be kind to friends, strangers, and enemies. Use any and every possible opportunity to be so generous, so understanding, so loving, that your words, demeanor, and actions confound the people of this world. 
People hurt others, knowingly or not, because they don’t know true peace and don’t realize what they’re missing out on. War is the absence of peace; those without inner peace will find any reason to start a fight. Some provoke you on purpose, just to accuse you of being the problem if you respond with anger.
But if you lay your arms down. If you refuse to respond. If you keep your peace, there’s nothing left for them to accuse you with. By keeping your peace, you can make your enemies see themselves clearly. Some will persist in violence. Flee from those types of people if you can. Others will change for the better. 
By keeping your peace, you can become an agent of radical change.  
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27
The world will wonder at what you have. They may ask where your peace comes from. Show them the power of Christ’s living water.

Original on 10/4/2020
Look up Iatrogenics
Reblogged on 8/9/2022
"Only two weeks," they said
Let’s review the facts
Trigger warning: math
Lockdown started in March. The original narrative was to “flatten the curve” and avoid overwhelming hospitals. Masks were optional, because health officials did not know how effective they’d be in preventing the disease. (Face masks are effective against bacteria, which are orders of magnitude larger than viruses. Viruses are small enough to easily pass through face coverings. )
In April, the CDC released a report stating the following:
Among all COVID-19 patients with complete information on underlying conditions or risk factors, 184 deaths occurred (all among patients aged ≥19 years); 173 deaths (94%) were reported among patients with at least one underlying condition.
Here is the link to the original full report. Those over the age of 65 were at greatest risk for negative outcomes. No one under the age of 19 died from Covid in the sample taken for the report.
Even at the time of the preliminary reports, it was clear that the majority of the population had at least a 98% chance to recover from Covid, if they contract it at all.
It is now October. The two-week shut down feels like it is still in effect, in some locations. There is talk of implementing another shutdown in the places that managed to re-open.
There are about 7.4 million confirmed cases, and almost 209,000 deaths attributed to Covid in the United States.
To calculate the case fatality rate let’s do some simple math:
209,000/7,400,000= 0.02824
This means that Covid-19 has a 2.8% case fatality rate. The case fatality rate is dependent on reliable testing and diagnosis. The FDA admits that there is a margin of error for how accurate these tests are. In Tanzania, false positives came from a goat and a fruit tested for Corona. In Sweden, there were 3,700 false positives from faulty testing. So, the true number of cases can not be known without accurate test kits and widespread testing; if the actual number of Covid cases is 15 million, the true mortality rate would drop to 1.4% .
In a more recent article, of the reported Covid deaths, 6% listed Covid as the only cause of death, while 94% listed Covid as the primary cause of death. This means that over 94% of Covid deaths, the patient had at least 2 underlying conditions such as hypertension, cancer, diabetes, HIV, etc.
In other words, a significant portion of those reported to die of Covid could already have been vulnerable to disease.
So, we can estimate that about 12,000 people out of the 7.4 million diagnosed with Covid died solely from Covid.
Make of these numbers what you will. Let’s move on to the bigger picture:
The current worldwide Covid death toll is 1 million.
Meanwhile, the UN estimates that the number of people who starve to death by the end of 2020 will be double that of 2019. In 2019, 9 million people died of starvation. If the UN’s estimate is correct, 18 million people will die of starvation indirectly caused by the global economic shutdown. That’s 9 million additional deaths, 9 times the number of deaths caused by Covid itself.
How many people have succumbed to alcoholism and drug addiction while locked in their houses? How many committed sucicide? What impact does the mass unemployment and 24/7 fear propagated by mainstream media and the government have on mental health? What about all the children and other abuse victims forced into isolation with their abusers?
At what point is the ‘cure’ worse than the disease? When will people look at these numbers, think logically, and realize that something doesn’t quite add up?

Remember this for future boosters and the monkey pox jabs.
Original post: 9/21/2021
Watch The Official FDA Livestream
Doctors present their analysis of the vax along with advice about the booster shot starting at around 4:01:35. The panelists do not disclose any conflicts, which means they do not appear to be funded by pharmaceutical companies. These are real healthcare professionals who present facts, science, and hard data to support their conclusions and recommendations.
Here are a few points that stood out to me:
Booster doses leading to high levels of circulating anti bodies may generate escape mutants of SARS-COV2 Virus (4:06:32) (in plain English, the booster, and possibly the vax, may be responsible for variants.)
Covid vaccine VAERS counts and death counts in 2021 exceed those of all reports combined for the past decade. This can not be accounted by statistical anomalies. (4:10:37). Ref. Screenshot of the graph below. The doctor shares her analysis in the video/time stamp provided.
Tumblr media
Vaccine herd immunity is not feasible, as vaccines only provide short term protection. (4:15:06).
Covid deaths are on the rise in Israel despite boosters (4:15:49), see screenshot below
Tumblr media
Doctor explains why nurses are refusing the vax. (4:17:59) There is no data to prove the vax is less dangerous than the virus for those in certain age groups without underlying health conditions.
For boys aged 16-17 without medical comorbities, the rate of CAE (heart related complications) is currently 2.1 to 3.5 times higher than their 120 day Covid-19 hospitalization risk
The initial clinical trials for the vax did not find evidence that the vax reduces death or initial hospitalization. (4:19:10)
There were four times as many heart attacks in the treatment group in the Pfizer 6 month trial than the control group (4:20:40)
A number of other alarming facts were revealed. Please watch at least the first 20 minutes of panelist presentations, which again starts near the 4:00:00 mark. This is what real science looks like. Arm yourself with knowledge. Make informed decisions about your body. Share what you’ve learned with loved ones.
They’re trying to inject this stuff into pregnant women and children knowing full well what it does. Your silence, willful ignorance, and blind compliance has serious consequences. Lives are at stake. Please start paying attention and standing up for the truth.

We are exiles
(Wanders in a strange, hostile land)
New Agers believe that a few people are alien souls reincarnated to earth. The ways of this world are strange enough to justify this thought. After all, most people instinctively find their place and seem to be accepted whereever they go. These are the people of this world.
The rest feel like outcasts. There’s something different about you, something that makes others push you to the perimeter. You spent your life on the other side of an invisible wall, always outside looking in. The people who reject you sense that you’re different and decide -almost subconsciously, like a hive or mob- that you don’t belong. You don’t have to say or do anything. It’s like they see something you can’t find in the mirror no matter how hard you look.
This leads to a search for answers. You might stumble across the truth or lead astray by a lie that comes dangerously close to the real thing, as I once was.
The people of Earth reject you because you do belong somewhere else; that part is true.
The lie is that you come from another planet or lived any life before this one.
The truth is that you are fully human, body, mind and soul. This is your first, last, and only life in here. Your kingdom, your family, and your home isn’t in a past life on a distant planet; it’s in the future, a place that doesn’t exist yet.

As part of the Covid relief bill passed in January 2021, there was a condition that “US Intelligence Agencies have 180 days to share what they know about UFO’s.” (Link to CNN article).
We’re coming up on that 180 day mark. UFO coverage has reached unprecedented levels in mainstream media. 
A few things to mull over:
1) Why disclose this information now?
2) How can we trust the same intelligence agencies known for withholding crucial information from the public and/or allowing the propagation of lies (such as the “weapons of mass destruction” line used to start the Iraq war to tell the truth?
3) Remember a few years ago when anyone who talked about aliens were  labeled conspiracy nuts and  laughed out of the room? It looks like these “nuts” were actually ahead of the curve. So, what else might they be right about?
Hopefully, nothing happens. I’m not a fan of aliens for the reasons outlined in this post.
Hi! I watched a lot of stuff theorizing that a lot of things that stand in the bible and in other religions could be real events tight to aliens... They apperantly still watch over us and want us to reach full potential, like hints like our dna, and communication, like they made they made the milky way ..what do you think about a more evolved something out there having created us and shaped us into the technology we know today?🤔🤯
Hi,
Thanks for this question! 
A few years ago, I was open to the the New Age ideas of a loving alien race that has humanity’s best interests at heart. I had a theory that Jesus was actually an alien-human hybrid, which would explain the immaculate conception (aliens planted the seed in Mary’s womb using their advanced technology) as well as the lights that the three wise men saw. Now, I realize this is all totally wrong-- especially the part about Jesus. 
I still believe in ‘aliens,’ but the evidence points to a malevolent extraterrestrial race that seeks human sacrifice and worship. There’s no reason to believe these ‘aliens’ are good. 
Evidence for Aliens
Copy-pasted the headline from the Jerusalem Post, an official publication:
Former Israeli space security chief says aliens exist, humanity not ready
The news story has been picked up by NBC. The Israeli Space Security cheif says that Trump knows about the aliens. This makes sense, since he rambled about creating a “Space Force” a few years ago. See the article Trump Administration adds Pentagon 'Space Force' to U.S. spy agency group or just google “Trump Space Force.”
And add to that the COVID-19 bill started a 180-day countdown for UFO disclosures. As in, there’s some addendum or provision to the relief bill about aliens.
I also have a post in my drafts about the monoliths but in the mean time, yes ‘aliens’ are real, but they’re bad fucking news. If the Trump administration or hell, any world government full of corrupt politicians and bloodthirsty military officials tries to convince you of something, it’s probably not in your best interest to listen. Which brings us to the next point...
Evidence for evil aliens
Cult leaders, such as Marshall Applewhite who founded Heaven’s Gate (the group that committed mass suicide), often claim to be contacted by Aliens. The Church of Scientology prescribes to the ‘alien’ theory in the form of this thing called Xenu. Aleistair Crowley, a satanist and p***phile, contacted an entity he called ‘Lam,’ which resembles a Grey alien. This is a short list of examples; many evil cults over the years were formed on the basis of alien contact.
And you can check out the Ancient Aliens series by the History channel. Although this show has been ridiculed by mainstream sources, it actually presents hard evidence for the case of alien presence on this planet. What disturbed me was that the beings described in the show often demanded human sacrifice, human blood, and specifically child or ‘virgin’ sacrifice. 
You can also examine accounts of personal encounters. Check out this video by Ryan Cropper, a youtuber who claims he once worked for ‘The Galactic Federation.’ Maybe he’s delusional, but I believe his experience was real, and the entities he describes seem to be intent on controlling and deceiving him to accomplish their own ends. 
Then, there are accounts by people who actually claim to be abducted by aliens. Again, you are free to write them off as delusional, but there are too many similarities in the incidents, and the people who spoke out risked humiliation/ridicule. It would be narrow-minded and unsympathetic to dismiss their stories without serious consideration. Abductees report “invasive examinations” and “psychological trauma” so horrible that they need therapy to recover.
This all barely scratches the surface of evidence for the existence of aliens, as well as evil aliens. If you have time and an open mind, I highly recommend this documentary by a Christian youtube channel about the true nature of these entities. This video aligned with my own research and conclusions; it confirmed what I already suspected. 
Christianity and Aliens
The belief in ‘aliens,’ beings not of this world, is compatible with Christianity. The bible describes a ‘war in the heavens’ in which the devil and his army were cast out of heaven and onto the earth. Considering the connection between satanists and ‘aliens’ (ref this website, literally called the ‘joy of satan’ for more proof. yikes...) it is plausible that ‘aliens’ are actually fallen angels. This would explain their evil, sadistic nature. 
Apparently, aliens often seem interested in human religion/spirituality, and try to offer an alternative perspective on Jesus. Not Buddha, not Muhammed, not Krishna, but Jesus. While interviewing victims of Abductions, researchers discovered that there was one way to stop the abduction experience. Something that the ‘aliens’ were apparently afraid of. I’ll let you do your own research to find out what this is. 
Tl;dr
Basically, there is substantial evidence for an ‘alien’ presence on this planet, but not many reasons to think these beings are benevolent, or that they created humans/the galaxy. This is compatible with the Christian faith. In fact, some who investigate aliens or come in contact with them eventually end up believing in Jesus, so it’s one of many roads to the ultimate truth. 
And (can’t believe this is a Thing I’m actually going to say) but if the government or anyone tries to convince you that the aliens are here and they’re The Good Guys, run. Run the other way and don’t look back. 
Thanks again for such a thought-provoking question. Have a great day and God bless you!

the problem with atheistic materialism
(the idea that everything is a consequence of matter, including life and consciousness)
is that you need to gaslight yourself constantly
when you see the similarities between a nebula and a human iris
when you wonder how the apparent (not actual) size of the sun and the moon are the same
when someone calls you right when you’re thinking about them
when a problem you lost sleep over seemed to fix itself and you didn’t have to lift a finger
when you see a school of fish swim in perfect unison, then notice the same unity in a flock of starlings or a herd of zebra
there are two possible answers:
there is no higher order. these are all just coincidences but your mind is wired to see patterns or connections, even where none exist (this is where gaslighting comes. you’re taught to invalidate your own perception of reality.)
there is order to this world, but it spontaneously arose from chaos. Similarly, life originated from... uh... non-life? Primoridial soup? in a single cell, and over billions of years, those single-celled organism became more complex multi-cellular organisms, and on it goes.
Both ideas, if followed to their natural conclusion, lead to an incoherent worldview. If your mind is the result of a mindless process, how can you trust your thoughts? And, if the process that created the human mind is random, why are people driven to find order?
More importantly, can you find any real-life examples of order arising from disorder? A messy room only gets messier unless someone cleans it. Piles of wood and metal do not spontaneously form houses; someone needs to organize the materials with intent.
And are there any actual examples of life coming from non-living things? Scientists have recently created “living” cells from scratch. But these cells would not exist without the scientists (living beings) constructing them.
So, why does logic suddenly go out the window when you look at the natural world? In all other instances, when you see an ordered structure that serves a specific purpose, you can reasonably assume that it was made by independent agent (a person.) You can also assume that the creator is intelligent, capable of choice (because they chose to make the thing), and had access to the energy/resources needed to assemble the structure.
The object did not create itself. Also, the creator’s existence, intelligence, and other qualities are not dependent on the object; houses exist because of people. People do not exist because of houses. But, the beauty, style, and craftsmanship of the creation can hint at the personality of whoever made it.
The natural world is the ultimate example of an ordered structure. Every organism in an ecosystem seems to be designed with a plan and purpose. Flowed need bees and vice-Vera. Wolves eat deer; in the absence of wolves, deer overpopulate, overeat, and starve. The same principle applies to individual organisms. Your organs each have a specific purpose and are designed to work together to keep you alive. Even the appendix has a purpose, though scientists took a while to figure it out. Scale down to the molecular level- how hydrogen and oxygen combine, and combine again to form snowflakes. The order in nature is undeniable. Each new example shows me there is thought behind this creation; the same loving attention to detail and devotion to beauty that you’d find in artists, combined with the precision, utility, and vision of a master architect. When I watch a peacock fan its plumage, I find myself thinking, “someone put a lot of thought into this.” Its the same thought I get when playing a good video game, reading a compelling story, or even using my phone.
That’s the long and short of it: as you study the world, both natural and man-made, you are forced to make a decision about your beliefs.
It’s all random and any patterns I see are just coincidence. This universe is all that exists.
There is order, but it came from chaos. How? Idk but this universe is all that exists.
There is order. From all other examples of order I know, an external force is needed to create order. This universe is not all that exists.
More and more scientists (many of whom are material atheists) are starting to wake up to the third point, and they don’t like it.
Francis Crick, one of the men accredited with discovering the shape of DNA, was so convicted by the order, structure, and complexity of this molecule, he couldn’t believe that it was the result of a mindless process. So, he decided The Aliens must have done it. (But then, where did these aliens come from? How were they created? What scientistific evidence does this theory have?)
I don’t have enough faith to believe all of this “just happened” no matter what Bill Nye or Neil DeGrasse Tyson or Richard Dawkins or Stephen Dawkins try to spin it. Nothing is impossible, but I prefer to work with probabilities.

what I wish Christians would do
(thoughts from someone who used to think this was the dumbest religion ever)
there’s another post coming soon about my experiences with “Christians” as an immigrant living in the deep south
but basically, the sentence “Jesus Christ died for your sins” made my eyes roll back into my head to watch my own brain cells commit suicide
because it’s like... who’s he, what “sins” and I don’t remember asking him to do that, so thanks but no thanks
and when they said things like “Jesus is the son of God” and “the Bible is the word of God” all could hear were some dangerously arrogant, unverifiable statements. How could a book written by men be accredited to God? How could God, an incorporeal, asexual, disembodied force, have a child? (And where did they get off calling God “he”? Seems like some bs invented by misogynists who fail to see that women have created, sustained, and nurtured life for millennia.)
“Faith” was their explanation, but it was actually a mixture of fear and willful ignorance, because they thought they’d go to hell if they asked too many questions. They knew their beliefs couldn’t stand rigorous testing. Many, if not most professing Christians are guilty of not being able to defend their faith. If they read their bibles, they’d know that their own God commands them to “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect [...]”
another thing that irked me to no end was the cross itself. It’s a torture device, yet Christians seemed to venerate it. Those graven images of Jesus in nothing but a loincloth, each rib clearly visible (though there’s no mention of him starving before his crucifixion) made my stomach turn. Is this a religion that celebrates pain? Do they look at this image of a weak, miserable, emancipated man- a man barely looked human in his final hours, yet declared that he was God- and see their God? (Not to mention the commandment, “You shall not make for yourself a carved image.” Seriously. Have y’all ever cracked open your own books? If I sincerely believed there was a book written by God -the actually creator of the universe- I’d read that thing cover to cover multiple times.)
basically, I wish Christians lived out their faith. I wish that they’d embody kindness, peace, and forgiveness so consistently, the people around them would wonder how it was possible. “Where does their joy, hope, and love come from? Why do they seem so untouchable? How can I get what they have?” These are the questions the world should be asking about believers.
If the Christians I knew ten years ago educated themselves and gave real answers to my questions, my life might’ve changed a lot sooner. I sincerely wish I became a believer at the age of 15 instead of 24. I wish Christians tested their own faith more rigorously than anyone else would. I wish they’d ask themselves, and God, the most difficult questions imaginable. If God is who He says He is, He knows your questions before you ask, and had the answers ready before He created the universe. (Though the answers we receive in this life will not be perfect or complete, He gives enough for people to make a choice.)
So, here’s a little q&a that might help you understand the Jesus thing better.
Q: Pain. Suffering. Disappointment. Loneliness. Evil. Why God do this? >:-(
A: God (and only God) uses bad things to bring about a greater good. It’s easy to see when you’re older, how that boy who didn’t love you back would’ve been a terrible influence if you’d gotten together. How not getting into the school you wanted to was better for your future career. How suffering abuse made you a stronger, more empathetic person, able to withstand pressures that would destroy those who didn’t survive the same experiences. For evils where we can’t comprehend how anything good can come, God will find a way.
Q: Well that’s easy to say. God “uses” pain but He never had to suffer like the real victims do. Calling a God like that “loving” is either dumb or evil.
A: (though that wasn’t really a question lol) that’s where Jesus comes in. He suffered loneliness, betrayal, fear, disappointment, public humiliation, and every type of physical pain imaginable in his last hours. On top of that, while on the cross, he drank the cup of God’s wrath. (This is a little hard to wrap your head around) but basically, all the punishment that should justifiably go to the rapists, murders, liars, thieves, and every other sinner for every sin committed from the beginning to the end of time— Jesus experienced every last bit of it, alone, on the cross.
God is not far removed from pain, and God does not ask anyone to suffer anything He didn’t willingly suffer himself.
The Christian worldview answers the questions of pain and evil better than Buddhism (I tried to detach from suffering and desire and only ended up feeling dead inside. Human beings are meant to feel, want, suffer, and grow stronger) Islam (I compared Mohammed, who lived a wealthy, comfortable life and took many wives, the youngest of which was only nine years old when he consummated the marriage, to Jesus. I mean no disrespect to Muslims; this was simply part of my own process for testing my faith) Hinduism (the religion I was born into, with its myriad of stone and metal Gods who made me walk in endless circles with my hands palms pressed together but never answered a single prayer. The doctrine of Karma meant the beggars I saw as a child, some with their limbs cut off, were being punished for crimes committed in a past life they couldn’t remember.) Atheism (which believes in order arising from chaos, life from non-life, consciousness from ‘emergent properties,’ no objective right or wrong so why does anything matter, including pain?)

Why are you silent?
When something doesn’t feel right
But you can’t explain why, and you feel like you’re the only one in the room who doesn’t ‘get it,’ you keep quiet
When something really isn’t right
And you can explain why. The flames of righteous indignation surge in your chest, burning in your throat, begging to be expressed with words, but you grit your teeth and hold your peace. You’re not wrong; you’re just afraid of what they’ll do to you for speaking the truth.
If you lied and people hated you for it, this would be an easy world to live in. A world with enough goodness to sustain it for at least one more lifetime.
If people hated you for telling the truth, you’d have no choice but to face the truth about this world: that it’s rotten, falling apart, hollowed out by termites and at the mercy of a single strong wind. A world that punishes those who the truth is destined for swift destruction. Such evil demands judgement.
That’s why you hold back. You’re silent because you’re not ready to look the apocalypse in it’s blazing crimson eyes. The sky rolling back to reveal the heavens as mountains are shaken out of their place, locusts and famine and divine wrath and your own sins laid bare before the masses. No mere mortal can truly prepare to face God. Even those who deny His existence know, deep down, they’ll have to stand before Him someday. That’s why they argue and debate and mock and laugh and roll their eyes. Everyone knows the truth about this world deep down.
That’s why were only ever two choices in this life: to run towards that truth, the one you thirst for, that love you were born craving. To sing of your love, your joy, even your righteousnes anger, because your cup overflows can’t bare to keep it to yourself. Your joy endures the rejection and strange looks because finally, you’re free.
Or, to bury the truth. Run away because you’re human; weak, sinful, ashamed. Terrified of your thoughts being known, the entrails of your mind dripping in plain sight, no excuses and no righteousness of your own to fall back on. No pride, because you know you didn’t create yourself and you can barely sustain your existence as is.
Those are the choices: love and truth, or lies and pride
And you realize there’s only one who can truly love you because He’s the only one who knows everything about you. His boundless eternal love and knowledge of your shame are inextricably linked. Fortunately, love is expressed through forgiveness.
Those who choose their pride reject His love because they can’t stand the thought of being known
Those who choose His love reject their own pride because they can’t stand their own failures, the lie that comes with it. If they persist, their end is destruction, and the journey is steeped in misery.
Only two choices, and silence lies with the liars. Liars who would doom you to their own fate, crucify you for their sins, hate those who remind them how fragile pride is, want you to be silent.
You, who loves truth and longs to speak- you are commanded to have no fear. Even in the face of evil rulers, devils who threaten, persecute, enslave. In truth, the darkness fears you because it trembles before the name God who loves you enough to die for you. And if God was willing to suffer to save you, what would He do to those who dare to punish you for telling the truth?
If He is with you even to the end, why would you not want to know how close that end it?
So, why are you silent?

When People Disappear
Tumblr media
The mark of the beast technology is ready to roll out. It may already be administered to people in increments (or doses, or boosters.) Or, this is how people’s bodies and DNA are being prepared to receive the beast’s image.
Massive food shortages are on the way. These shortages are artificially generated and will be used to pressure people into taking the mark. Same with oil/gas. Keep an eye on your local Walmart, Kroger, Costco, or other major grocery store:
The Biden administration will roll out more measures meant to pressure the un-vaxed into accepting the jab for the new batch of plagues. Higher tax rates, employment restrictions, preventing travel (even higher interstate travel) await those who refuse to comply.
The Texas border crisis could be used to justify building a wall; a wall proposed to keep people out when the food/oil shortage hits the market. In reality, the wall may be used to keep our citizens from escaping the horrors coming to America.
New gun control legislation is coming to America. The only reason we don’t face the same level of oppression as Australia is because guns outnumber people here. The cowards that run this government know that we’re a threat, and are shocked every day that we’ve allowed their tyranny to go this far.
The stage is set for World War III. America withdrew from Afghanistan this year for a reason. The troops are needed either to enforce more tyranny at home or to fight a different war.
All through 2020, the Wuhan Lab Leak theory was being “debunked.” Now, authorities are seriously investigating the same claims. If China is found guilty, regardless of the fact that they were conducting gain of function research funded by the NIH, a declaration of war seems inevitable.
Not to mention the Avian flu outbreak in India February this year, or the one in Europe this month. Reports of a polio-like disease coming this fall. (disease are stored in labs even after they’re all but eliminated from the population. The sociopaths in power need their bio weapons. When an outbreak is “predicted” ahead of time, it is either baseless fear mongering or a planned event. Your televised prophets are shameless criminals; your blind faith in them will lead your soul to death.)
None of this even scrapes the surface. We are living in Matthew 24. The signs are clearer now more than ever.
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
All these are the beginning of sorrows.
At the start of a chess game, both players position their pieces with an idea of how the game will play out. Few pieces are lost at this stage.
The majority of carnage happens during the “middle” of the game. When white takes black’s pawn, black would take white’s bishop, then white would take black’s rook, etc. until only a few key pieces remain.
Someone, something, needs to make a move that triggers the mid-game bloodbath.
We are watching a metaphorical chess match between God and Satan. God is associated with white (holiness, purity, lamb’s wool) the color that makes the first move and is thus always at a slight advantage.
He will make the move that takes peace from the earth; He will remove the restrainer holding full blown war, famine, pestilence and the anti-Christ at bay.

faith in a clock
(about timekeepers and jesus)
Tumblr media
when you sincerely believe someone or something, your belief affects your actions
let’s say you have a meeting at 2pm
you look at the clock and see that the time is 1:45pm. if you believe that the digits correspond to reality, you’ll start preparing for your meeting. Reviewing your notes, setting up your laptop, maybe making sure you’re presentable for the webcam.
if you don’t believe your clock, you’d either be much more relaxed, thinking there’s more time to prepare, or you’d be frantic about being late and even missing the meeting all together
clocks and their connection to time are ubiquitous. we put our faith in them without a second thought, because they have no reason to lie, and only we’d suffer from our own constant skepticism about what time it really is
now, here is a passage from Revelation: the last book in the Bible
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Revelation 13: 16-17
let’s connect that to the quote below, taken from Revelation 19:10
for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy
Jesus is the clock. He shows His children what time it is. most of the world tracks the years based on when He was born. before Christ and after Christ; you acknowledge the reality Jesus’ birth whenever you write down the date.
seeing how many signs there are, how clearly Revelation is being set up to unfold, it’s easy to tell what time it is. (there is a “mark” -jab/vax- being implemented worldwide. those who don’t get it are barred from employment and public spaces. This is the first time in all of history such a “mark” has been mandated on a massive scale. how could a book written 2000 years ago, before the advent of technology that can “mark“ people inside their bodies and before the means to enforce such restrictions on buying/selling, predict what’s happening now.. unless it was influenced by an omnipotent being? )
and unlike the clocks we trust to know the hour, Jesus doesn’t spring forward or fall back or change from timezone to timezone or suffer from power outages
He’s more trustworthy than any three digit number counting down to some meeting. I can’t fathom not believing in Him (with a true faith that would change your actions. not faith without works.) at this point
there is someone he’s waiting for. maybe that person is you. please give Him a chance. You need look at this world, realize that it’s not going to get better, and ask Him (use his name) to save you from what’s coming.
and He will.
If you’re tired of yourself, this world, your life. If you’re longing desperately for Truth. If you know there has to be more to your existence, if you want to understand why you were created, go to Him.
He is what you’re searching for. He will never turn you away. He is kind and generous and worthy of your trust. He is the answer.
there’s no reason to put it off anymore. Time is almost up.
the clock doesn’t lie

This is even more true now. Look at how people are acting these days.
love like winter
days always grow darker as winter looms
apparently as you get older, colors become less vivid. I don’t know if it’s a matter of my own flawed perception or an objective fact of reality or my age finally becoming a factor
but the world has never been dimmer
it’s like someone dialed down the contrast settings on reality, draining the saturation
even a clear sunny sky looks more gray than blue
and now, this world along with the people who love it are like ghosts to me. likewise, I’m a ghost to them. we don’t even pass each other by, as strangers do, but through as creatures of parallel realities
the truth is plain to me. I can’t fathom sharing their perception; the collective, elective blindness coiling around the earth, the delusion that we can ever “go back to normal”
the “truth” is subjective to them, but they can’t fathom those like me, with our God, our blessed hope, our endless “conspiracies”
there’s a great chasm between us
it keeps me up at night
we’re all human, aren’t we? all who see these words have access to the same information I do. they have the capacity to think. to reason. to seek the truth.
(but they don’t want it. some even hate it. I’m vexed beyond measure)
one of the signs of the last days is Matthew 24:12
“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.”
iniquity is “gross injustice” and “wickedness.”
I see iniquity everywhere, and I see those who encourage it; those who submit to it; those who willfully ignore it; those too cowardly to step one toe out of line, lest they displease the tyrants
I see winter descending, a physical darkness. cold.
and I feel love, the last embers of warmth in this frigid, haunted husk of a planet, smoldering into ashes and dust

There’s not much left to do, but this might be worth a shot
I remember 2019 like it was a decade ago. So much happened in such a short time. The world as we knew it already ended. It’s hard to wrap your head around the apocalypse, especially if you’re a frog who loves the water you’re boiling in. Too many people want to stay in this pot.
We’re almost two years past the insidious, abusive push and pull from the so-called experts. Fear, deflection, self-contradiction, strangers on a glowing screen demanding absolute trust and submission.
They will reap and be reaped. Soon.
This is not about them. This message is for you: the walls are closing in but the way out is simple. Set aside your own desires. Set aside your pride, your self-righteousness, your inertia.
Look beyond your own experience. Look beyond what other people want you to see.
And ask for the truth. Seek it with your whole heart. Be willing to leave everything behind.
This ship is sinking.
You don’t need the law of attraction or natal charts or church pews or crystals or anything from this perishing world.
If you can bring yourself to care about the truth more than everything; if you thirst for the truth because everything that isn’t the truth is a lie, the truth will find you.
The truth will take the scales from your eyes.
The truth will set you free.

Original post: Feb 3 2022
Update: July 29 2022
Since then, the Russia Ukraine conflict escalated
China and Taiwan: “A Pelosi trip to Taiwan heightens the risk of an 'accident' that triggers a US military crisis with Beijing, top China experts warn”
And now Russia and China: “UK spy chief warns of 'no limits' Russia, China partnership, but insists West has 'advantages'”
Also Iran: “UN report says Iran has enough uranium to produce nuclear weapons”
Ghislaine Maxwell got 20 years in federal prison. Who did she sell those kids to? Why aren’t they being prosecuted?
more conspiracy thoughts
(world war III, the covid narrative, maxwell, and what the Bible says)
Remember the memes from January 2020? They’re even better this time.
Scroll through the comments on Putin’s official Instagram. Instant cure for boredom.
In 2020, the Covid narrative pressed pause on World War III. It allowed governments worldwide to wage a silent war on their own citizens, suppressing fundamental rights and telling people it’s for their own good.
In 2022, people are finally rising up against their own governments. The Covid narrative lost power. People are demanding freedom and justice.
World War III would redirect these people from revolting against their own government, to instead fight and kill victims of other governments.
(Most, if not all, citizens in every country are victims of their own government. Your own government will always be the greatest threat to your liberty. The wealthy send people to die in wars they’ll never fight themselves. All war is rich people profiting from poorer people murdering each other. This world is evil; Jesus meant it when he said Satan is the God of this age. Now is an excellent time to see how you can be saved from this place.)
World War III is poised to start just as the supply chain crisis is hitting. War is a tool for depopulation. Especially with modern weapons of mass destruction- dead people, civilians and soldiers alike, have no need for supplies like food, water, and clothing.
All this is taking place shortly after the results of the Ghislane Maxwell trial; she was found guilty of “recruiting and grooming teenage girls for sexual encounters” but no one is prosecuting the buyers. The list includes Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and Prince Andrew. (Edit: someone pointed out that he’s being charged. Trial begins later this year.)
Epstein and Maxwell were not the only ones trafficking children. The abuse is not limited to teenage girls. Children, boys and girls, and maybe even younger (tbh I don’t even want to type it out) are involved. It goes beyond mere sexual abuse. You can start by looking into John Podesta, Anthony Weiner, and the truth behind Hilary Clinton’s email scandal in 2016.
(Here’s part of what I learned: FBI officials accustomed with gruesome crime watched a video found on Weiner’s hard drive. Around ten people watched the tape. They were sickened and horrified by what they saw. These witnesses were all eventually killed in mysterious ways. You can look into the “Clinton Body Count” too.
Also research Comet Pizza cafe. Warning: 🤢. Literally, it made me sick.
Celebrities are just as involved in this as politicians. You can look into Issac Kappy, who exposed Tom Hanks for sexually abusing children before “committing suicide.” Kappy left a dead man’s switch; a creepy video. If you can’t find that, just scroll through Tom Hanks’ Instagram. Lots of cryptic, disturbing posts with the comments turned off.)
And it’s not limited to America; multiple top level officials on the world stage commit these heinous acts. Their citizens are waking up to the evil as well.
Just like they were in January 2020.
We’ve come full circle. The wicked are constantly in fear for their lives and will do anything to protect themselves. For us, World War III would be a problem. For them, it’s a potential solution.
I’m not happy about any of this, but I do have peace. As God promised:
But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it. (Proverbs 2:22)
He also said,
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. (Matthew 5:6)
The worst part is waiting for the promise; the best part is knowing that day isn’t far off.

Research the new findings about the science behind anti depressants. 
https://www.psychiatryadvisor.com/home/topics/mood-disorders/researchers-question-science-behind-antidepressants/
Several researchers are challenging the prevailing idea that a cause of depression are low levels of the serotonin in the brain, and argue that commonly prescribed antidepressant medications designed to keep levels of the neurotransmitter high may actually do more harm than good.
Paul Andrews, PhD, of McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada, and colleagues say that serotonin-boosting medications, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) actually make it more difficult for depressed patients to improve.
Prophecy becomes more true as we near the end of the age. Everything is coming to light. 
Prophecy 101: Sorcery and Deception
The book of Revelation is the final chapter of the Bible. It pertains to the time between the first and second coming of Christ.
Prophecy is an important part of the Bible; the only way someone can predict the future in a world of free will is if they have the power to ordain specific events to happen. Prophecy is one way to verify if the Bible is what it claims to be: the word of God.
Revelation 12:9
And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
Revelation 9:21
[In reference to “the rest of mankind” not killed by the plagues] and they did not repent of their murders nor of their sorceries nor of their immorality nor of their thefts.
The word “sorcery” is translated from the Greek word “pharmakeia,” which can mean “the use or administering of drugs” or “poisoning.”
Satan is described as the “deceiver of the whole world.” This implies that the whole world is under some sort of deception, and one of the tools of this great deception is “pharmakeia.”
So, did the book of Revelation predict a massive “poisoning” of the human population, as part of some great deception?
Flouride
This chemical is added to water around the world, when it’s not naturally present.
It may prevent cavities, but flouride is a known neurotoxin, previously categorized as industrial waste, and increases the risk of hypothyroidism and birth defects. This chemical is poison to your endocrine system, and may even be contributing to the insomnia epidemic in the US.
Fast Food
This industry contributes to obeasity, heart disease, and numerous health problems. Fast food is known to be addictive and carcinogenic.
GMO’s and Pesticides
Apparently corn can make you infertile. Wish I was making this stuff up. There are tons of articles outlining GMOs and decreased fertility in rats and mice, amongst a handful of suspicious sources claiming that GMO’s are completely harmless.
Pesticide exposure is linked to cancer. The levels of pesticide (glycophosphate) in meatless meats such as Burger King’s Impossible burger are crazy high.
Alcohol
Readily available to children and adults alike. Glorified in every Hollywood movie, tv show and commercial, even as it contributes to addiction, dependence, cancer, liver disease, drunk driving, and the aging process. Long-term alcohol use, even in moderation, depletes your body of B12 and other vitamins. Does this even need sources?
Conclusion
We live in a society where it’s nearly impossible to access clean unflouridated water; where, if you want to be healthy and avoid fast food, your options still involve pesticide and GMO’s. Poisonous substances are either unavoidable or glorified, and as a result of this exposure, our bodies are tired; our minds are dull; our diseases are a source of profit for the pharmaceutical industry; whether it’s cancer, insomnia, heart disease, or an under active thyroid, you will likely become a life-long patient.
For all these reasons, you fall under the spell of the great deception. You can’t leave the system; you depend on doctors and insurance, the food and water systems in place. You become easy to control.
Standard disclaimers: I’m not a doctor and you can think and do whatever you want. Also someone else made the “sorcery = pharmakeia” connection (source unavailable) and I just added a few of my own thoughts to it.

And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
Tumblr media
Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
Luke 6: 20-31 KJV
