Follow The Signs

FOLLOW THE SIGNS!

I wanted to kick off the new and improved look of my website, which I hope makes it easier to read and navigate, with an essay I wrote many, many years ago. This is one only a few close to me have seen. It is indeed an eye opener and a reminder that not everyone who says, “Lord, Lord” is for the truth of the Kingdom.

First, I want to personally thank all of you for your great support and encouragement. It is so very needed today, we must all lift each other up especially when facing difficult times. And the times for many have been difficult, which is why I am always available for your emails, comments, and even phone calls. For those who want to email me personally, who are not already connected to me on facebook, please do send it to Thomascalls@aol.com. I so look forward to hearing all you have to say and being there for you in your time of need. Remember, of course, I am only one man and it may take time for me to respond, but I will.

In any event, I have been sharing lately about the Signs of The Times. I have taken some criticism about this but this is nothing new to me and I know that criticism will come, but the truth lasts forever and cannot be moved. Anyone who takes the time to investigate all that I share will see that it is more important now, than ever before, to have faith, to love, to forgive, and to fear not. – I know this is easier said than done, but those who practice make perfect and perfect is a place we all are already seated in to begin with.

In church I was told miraculous stories about Jesus and his disciples. I was also told that one day, I too would be able to accomplish such feats. Many of you reading this today most likely, at some point in your life, believed that one day, like Jesus, you could literally walk on water. Like me, as a child, perhaps you have even dared to walk across the pool at the local YMCA only to find that you can’t do these things regardless of how hard you tried to believe you could.

We are even taught that these stories, these wonderful miraculous stories about how the enlightened could walk on water, heal the sick, speak foreign tongues, drink any poisonous thing and not be affected, and more, are signs of sorts.

It seemed to me when I was younger that many who call themselves Pastor, Bishop, etc, wanted to prove they had this “POWER”. And yes, every church I went too, supposedly had someone who “knew someone” who was healed, or experienced such power, like sight being given to the blind… and that is a beautiful thing. But the question I always had was, do these men and women who make such grand claims have the powers they claim?

Do they have the SIGNS that FOLLOW?

We have for too long been the victim of charlatans like the some big stars on Faith Based TV, who have made an extravagant living supposedly healing the sick and performing these “signs”. Of course, they lack actual tangible proof. And when proof is sought after those that prove it is a con, a sham, a business for liars, as many exposes have shown, these investigators are called instruments of Satan and they are condemned.

And sadly, many who have put their faith in these men and women continue to follow blindly. Yet, many of these men and women, according to me are trying to the enter the kingdom another way.

John 10:1-2
1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

And I am one, however, who HAS entered in… 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out….

So, I am here to say, the TRUE MIRACLE isn’t a literal healing or miraculous spectacle, it is actually hiding away within the heart of man. And as I have said time, and time again, is that the TRUTH of these passages of scripture that literally describe such feats, is hidden away within the text.

The things of the Kingdom are a mystery. This is a puzzle people and we are given the noble task of putting all the pieces back together again.

It is the GLORY OF GOD to CONCEAL A THING and the HONOR of KINGS to SEARCH OUT A MATTER!

When the prophet was told to seal up the book. It would take a KEY to open it once again.

Jesus spoke about giving us the KEYS TO THE KINGDOM… KEYS UNLOCK DOORS… don’t they?

Keys are also used to interpret and reveal the mysteries hidden in scripture. Keys are used to solve problems and after decades of study and experience I am now going to share a KEY with you that will forever change the way you see things in scripture. For some this may not be new, but for those new to this site, this will change your life.

Matthew 16:19
And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

So did Jesus give us the KEYS to supernatural powers… Can we really bind in earth what is bound in heaven? Well, to a certain extent we can. For example, whatever a man believes he receives. If you believe your life is miserable it will become miserable and vice versa. Now, that my friend is one KEY to living a life of wonder indeed. But how many truly believe that their thoughts and prayers and ideas can influence the world around them? I for one do. But that is another essay for another time. Not to mention, something I have written and spoken about completely over the years. Use the search bar for more.

But the question remains, is NATURAL man able to do what the scripture state Jesus did? Are we endued with the ability to phase through walls, raise people from the dead, and more? Or is there more for us to understand?

Years ago, I would say, most likely… not. Because as you will find with this essay, the more important lesson is to understand the allegorical meaning of these scriptures. However, I will add… I do not believe anything is impossible. And scripture literally agrees with me.

“With Faith ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!” “With God nothing shall be impossible for you”

So let’s take a look at these “signs that follow” those enlightened to the truth and find out what the deeper meaning is.

I challenge you from here on out to approach the scriptures as if solving a puzzle… Look for the hidden treasure within the “field of each verse”.

Let us see with new eyes the meaning of such accounts and learn how we eventually can do the same.

MARK 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Sadly, many today take these words as literally true. Some go so far to “prove their faith” that they hold poisonous snakes and actually drink small amounts of arsenic, to show the world how GODLY and SUPERNATURAL they are. This in my opinion is not the brightest thing to do. That being said, we are not living in the brightest of times. There is more darkness in the land today than many are aware of. And those in that darkness (ignorance) hate the light (enlightenment of truth) but as far as the above scripture goes, the misinterpretation can end here.

These essays I write are meant to open the windows of heaven that many religious leaders, and years of indoctrination from family members and friends have closed shut.

Today, we look at Mark 16 in a new light.

Now, while there are a host of false claims about the “signs that follow believers” out there, today I will deal very specifically with those snake handling, poison drinking, tongue speaking believers we read about in scripture.

So, let’s begin:

MARK 16: 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

I’d like to simply address this passage in Mark by pointing out that what we are seeing here is what I describe as “word pictures”. 

The author is painting a picture for us. It would be a mistake to take this literally. If one takes this literally, one might find themselves dancing with rattlers, getting bit, and dying because they were trying to prove an egotistical point built upon ignorance.

We must instead seek wisdom…

Proverbs 4:7
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

WISDOM is the TREE OF LIFE… We eat from this TREE we are set free indeed!

Proverbs 3:18
She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

Happy also are those with a wholesome tongue (Those who speak out of wisdom). By our words we are judged. Meaning, if you judge your life to be miserable… it will be!

We do indeed have power to shape and reshape our lives, and the world, this you will find… however, it has nothing to do with being able to drink real poison and live… (that would be silly and unwise)

I want you to understand that when you know the TRUTH (about who you, and who others are) it sets you free from the lies you have believed. These lies hurt you, not just physically as is the case for those who believed they could drink arsenic and live, but emotionally as well.

When you have the wrong understanding it is the death (ignorance) of TRUTH, and ultimately who you really are.

Ignorance is not bliss… it is the beginning of every evil thought and deed.

Ever since there was a “Holy book” mankind has grabbed hold of it and used it as a sword. The scriptures warn of this, how many would forsake the truth for the power the LIE offered…. “If you bow down and serve the Carnal Ego of man, you can do whatever you want and step on anyone in the process”… The carnal ego of man (the devil) will also convince you that you can KILL to get what you want, while using the Bible as justification. As evidenced by the hundreds of thousands of years people have been murdered in God’s name, and worse.

Being ignorant of what scripture means is the reason wars have been fought in the name of God, people have been tortured in the name of God, crosses have been burned in the name of God, and people are condemned on a regular basis in the name of God…. And while this one article may not open the world’s eyes and end all of that, perhaps it can open the eyes of some young man in the South who is about to take hold of a rattler at his father’s service.

Jesus said, the Kingdom of God is a Mystery… So when we read about miraculous and supernatural events we must use the KEYS given to us, to see what these passages really mean. Considering, to those without understanding, Jesus only spoke in parable.

Matthew 13:34
All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them

So I will try to unlock the meaning of this passage in Mark by using these very same “keys of the kingdom”.

Quick recap: What does a key do? … A KEY opens doors, treasures, gates, and more, as well as locks them. In geography to understand a map once must use the “Key”. For Math a Key is used to solve any and every problem. The same is true for scripture. The KEYS of the Kingdom are tools given to us within the body of scripture, and within our heart(spirit/mind), to interpret and understand what is being shared.

So, why all the mystery, shrouded messages, and allegory, you say?

Well, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a TREASURE hidden in a field (US) and in this life we are given this great adventure to rediscover the very meaning of life, and rediscover who we really are in it. The TRUTH, when found, sets us free from the ignorance of who we think we are, and what we have believed… Mind you, the TRUTH sets us free from all ERROR.

From the moment you were born, the FIRST YOU (Adam) was formed. You were given a name, told what is acceptable and what is not, how to act, what to eat, when to go to bed, to get up, what to wear, what to learn and how to learn it… the list goes on and on. That’s the TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL that we are made subject to. NOT WILLINGLY MIND YOU…

Romans 8:20
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

We were force-fed lie after lie, “good boys do this”, “bad girls wear their hair like that”, Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, God in the literal sky, hell, and a host of other nonsense man created to cover their own shame and ignorance. (Fig leaves). By now, you must know this FIRST PERSON you have been formed into is NOT THE SPIRIT you truly are…. Who you think you are is an image, nothing more… and it merely appears to be alive. The LIFE is the spirit within you!

Now, in the ignorance of the FIRST MAN – FIRST YOU – ALL DIE. Meaning, the instant we believe we are mere moral human beings we become only that and we physically die… Spiritually, this is significant because it means WITHIN we DIE as well. “To be carnally minded is death”

1 Corinthians 15:22
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ (power and wisdom of God) shall all be made alive.

If you have a mountain of worries and fears, you can thank the fear that has been passed down from generation to generation for that.

YOU have been POISONED since birth with lies, insecurities, and bias from your parents, friends, and the world at large.

This is why Jesus said, YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN! Because the FIRST YOU is an ignorant shame filled, fearful, horns-waggled wretch… BUT THAT IS NOT WHO YOU ARE! YOU ARE SO MUCH MORE! YOU ARE GOD’S CHILD!

And when you see this, you will understand that you don’t need to prove anything by doing the impossible. You don’t need to prove the existence of God by pretending people are being healed, you just KNOW GOD IN TRUTH AND SPIRIT and you LOVE… THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS!

The TRUTH of who we are has been HIDDEN WITHIN US. And now is the day when we are being pulled out of such foolishness to REVEAL the TRUTH TO ALL!

After all, it is the GLORY OF GOD to conceal a thing… And CHRIST (power and wisdom of God) does indeed COME (is revealed) in the GLORY OF GOD (the concealed thing) … ahhh but that is a different topic for a different day…

So, let’s us begin to use  the Keys found in scripture to uncover the meaning of …

MARK 16: 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Let’s take it in parts. Let’s start by finding out, once and for all, what DEVILS are. Oooooowww a spoooooky subject, especially since we are just about to celebrate Halloween, which of course, some would go so far to condemn people for celebrating.

Back to the DEVIL… Interesting to note, DEVIL spelled backwards is LIVED… A great side note: The DEVIL is the accuser of the brethren… So is Moses (anyone see that?) – but think about it, do you accuse yourself of the things you do in the future of those things you did in the past.

LIVED=DEVIL – That’s just a cool thing to ponder. Moving on….

So, what are these DEVILS, that Jesus and company love to cast out? Are they some spooky demons flying around possessing people, making them vomit pea soup and make their heads spin all the way around? … Are devils spirit beings that possess people to worship Satan by convincing people to dress up as a favorite super hero for Halloween? 🙂 Well, of course not!

Demons, devils, etc, these are not literal evil beings outside of us and Jesus agrees. There are no spooky devils flying around outside of us, fighting literal battles in an invisible realm in the worlds… No one is literally being possessed by creatures outside of them, that go into them…

You see, Jesus said “Nothing that GOES INTO A MAN defiles him.”

People there is nothing OUTSIDE of us can possess us unless we allow it. And NO BEING possesses us, we are only possessed by WORDS. And from birth we have been poisoned with every one of them out here in the world. In ADAM all die… We are all programmed into worshiping fear and suffering. This is why every wicked thought is already in the heart of carnal man, whose mind is on evil all the time. You see our carnal nature is a “hot mess” and we enter sin when we are drawn away by OUR OWN LUSTS, not when we are possessed by things that simply aren’t true.

James 1:14
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

SOOOOO, it is our LUST that TEMPTS US…. Wait a minute! Hold the phone…. I thought only SATAN tempts…

1 Corinthians 7:5
Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your inconsistency.

Is it possible that SATAN the father or ALL LIES, is OUR CARNAL LUST? The very same SERPENT placed in the GARDEN (Within us) tempting us to continue to EAT of the wrong tree. (the Temporal world and all its trappings and vain traditions and beliefs)- It is interesting to note, the BRAIN STEM IS called the REPTILIAN BRAIN – and it is in fact hanging on the TREE of our NERVOUS SYSTEM (controlling our sensual sights, sounds, tastes, touch, etc) — Now, that is interesting. The REPTILIAN BRAIN (Brain stem) which is known for dealing with our LOWEST AND MOST CARNAL FUNCTIONS… isn’t science fun?

Our LUST is what draws us away from the truth, our LUST for power, acceptance, wealth, and more… this is why people will believe about anything they are told so long as they can hold unto the idea that “they are somehow more important, or smarter than another” — The ego can make you punish someone for simply seeing things differently, and convince you to turn your back and banish this person, and then pat you on the back for doing such to even your own son or daughter. Ask the Catholics, Jehovah’s witnesses, Mormons, Baptists, Muslims, etc etc

These devilish beliefs are the cause of our suffering. These devils (lies we believe) cause us to hurt ourselves and others… And so, when we read in scripture that one of the SIGNS that follow the believer is that you will have POWER OVER DEVILS… it really means you have the power to rise above your carnal ego and petty fears.

Mark 16:17
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils

When you believe the TRUTH, you will be able to share it… as I am sharing it. And when you come upon those who are possessed by lies, you can share that truth and set them free from the lies they believe, which ultimately do great harm.

These “DEVILS” that we are to have power over are not spooky creatures outside of us. They are lies, false beliefs and mindsets we have inside of us… A result of years of brainwashing and gullibility.

Today we see people how far a lie can be taken. People will kill in the name of God. People will kill themselves because they have believed the lies inside them that says “it’s better to end it all”… When Jesus came across people who did not know the truth and they, because of their ignorance stood against him, he said… “You are of your father the Devil” — meaning these people were a result of the lies the carnal ego within man declared them to be. Satan’s seed, is not “Rosemary’s Baby”, the seed of SATAN are the lies people ignorantly believe.

The below scripture describe what Devils and Demons are.

DEUT 36:17 They sacrificed unto DEVILS, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.

The people were sacrificing unto GODS THEY MADE UP, Gods they CREATED. God’s their FATHERS FEARED NOT… These devils were creations of the carnal mind. They were false beliefs, like Santa Claus, etc. New religions pop up every day. All a result of the clever carnal ego within mankind. The world is FILLED with DEVILS (False BELIEFS) because of it. And this is why those who have the good pleasure of calling themselves “Believers” are given the power to CAST OUT SUCH!

THE LIES KEEPING MANKIND IN CHAINS need to be revealed and destroyed by the truth.

2 Corinthians 10:5
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Notice, the word “Imagination” here. Anything that is MADE UP, make-believe, fairy tales, etc, any imagination that exalts itself ABOVE THE KNOWLEDGE of God needs to be cast down.

DID YOU CATCH THAT PEOPLE?

This means, the MOST IMPORTANT THING THERE IS FOR YOU TO FIND OUT IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD!

Anything that takes precedence in your life, over this… anything you consider more important than this… must be CAST DOWN. We need to cast out the LIES people, rid ourselves and others of false beliefs… these are the DEVILS we are giving power over.

Let me give you a good example of how the DEMONS “LIES WE BELIEVE” are cast out.

There was a time people believed the Earth was the center of the universe and that the EARTH was flat… Anyone who said differently was condemned as a heretic, and those people who believed the LIE (demon) did not want to hear different. No one wants to admit they are wrong. The ego of man, will not take that lightly.

People would rather continue on in their ignorance rather than question and seek after the truth no matter what the cost.

And yet, the DEMON of a lie (that the earth is flat and the center of the universe) is eventually cast out once the TRUTH IS is expressed and understood.

You see the TRUTH is the only thing that is eternal, the LIE is temporal (temporary). That is good news, because no matter how long the TRUTH lies buried beneath a lie it will always RISE and DESTROY the LIE with the BRIGHTNESS of its coming (revealing).

2 Thessalonians 2:8
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

A better translation for that verse would be: When the truth is known and spoken, the words of truth shall consume the lies believed and forever destroy them.

Like proving the world is not flat by showing someone deceived satellite imagery … Once people are presented with the TRUTH, the DEVILS are cast out.

This is one of the signs that follow… Once the believers SEES the truth… the LIE which seems to be, but truly is not… is DESTROYED.

Revelation 17:11
And the beast that was, and IS NOT

Christ, who is TRUTH, casts out Demons left and right. This is what the stories of Jesus casting out demons really means.

Jesus said, I am the way, the TRUTH, and the LIFE… A devil is a LIE… Notice, how Jesus puts those possessed back into their RIGHT MIND (which actually means “RIGHTEOUSNESS”).

Mark 5:15
And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind

Many LIES have been cast out of me as well over the years. (SYMBOLICALLY) I too cut myself with stones (I abused myself with the Laws AND lies of Men), and I was in chains (Fear) dwelling in Tombs (my carnal mind) … But these LIES are no longer welcome in me, the TRUTH freed me of the lies, and now only the SWINE (carnal people) have a place for these false beliefs.

So YES, we have power over Demons and we can CAST THEM OUT! But DEMONS are simply the FALSE BELIEFS people have, and it is the SPOKEN TRUTH we have been given (within us) that FREES THEM!

Matthew 7:5
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.

Before we can cast out the DEMON (LIE) SPIRITS (THOUGHTS) of others, first we must be rid of our own. And believe me, it is easy to find fault in others, as opposed to really searching one’s own heart. The carnal EGO (devil) of man, doesn’t want that. And when you find a false belief, and you know that you know that it isn’t true… PLUCK IT OUT! If anything you believe OFFENDS YOU… If anything you do, brings you suffering or shame, rid yourself of it.

Matthew 18:9
And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

Now, this above passage is not talking about cutting out your EYE, but your “perception” of a thing. If your perception of God is offensive and condemning to you, “GET RID OF IT”, otherwise you will continue to suffer from the LIES you believe. It’s better to get rid of your false beliefs rather than to suffer because of them.

Galatians 4:30
Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.

CAST OUT THE LIES THAT KEEP YOU BOUND! And use the TRUTH AND LOVE to rid yourselves of these DEMONS.

1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

When we cast out the LIES in these people, we return them to their RIGHT MIND. And in so doing, we HEAL them. Remember God does not care about the OUTWARD MAN, but the INWARD MAN — THE CHRIST IN YOU.

2 Corinthians 4:16
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

Now let us look at another part of this scripture… the part that states, that we can take up serpents and not be hurt… What is this sign that follows those that believe?

MARK 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Does God give us the power to pick up a rattler, be bit and shake it off without the need of anti-venom? Or is the serpents a symbol of something else? The answer is not hard to find.

Another key I offer to you is using a bible search engine… Look up certain words, and read everything you can about what those words are. For example, when you see the word “serpent”, look for other passages and SEE if the word “serpent” might actually be another “word picture” that describes something else completely.

FOR EXAMPLE: Here it is easy to find the word SERPENT used to describe religious people.

Matthew 23:33
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

How many times did Jesus call the Religious leaders serpents? MANY.

When Paul was adding sticks to the fire and a serpent bit him and he shook it off and was not harmed, do you really think Paul was attacked by a literal poisonous snake? Or could it be that he was sharing the truth and as he did so, some religious people came along and sank their teeth into him? Could it be instead of getting upset, Paul simply SHOOK it off?


Acts 28
2 And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
3 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
4 And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.
5 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.

Look at that again… the PEOPLE were angry and attacked Paul because they “kindled a fire” – THAT FIRE being the TRUTH – and Paul started this FIRE because of the PRESENT RAIN/TEACHING and because it was COLD (NO LOVE IN IT) — This is a story that means to show us a greater truth.

The signs that follow a believer is a FIRE will be started in their present teaching, the truth will be shared, and it will anger some, and the believers may be attacked, defamed, discredited and worse from these “barbarians”, however when BIT this venom has no effect… WE CAN SHAKE THE ATTACKS OF OTHERS AWAY when we BELIEVE!

SHAKE IT OFF! We have power over the lies of Religious men and women.

Is not more plausible that when you believe and know THE TRUTH (Christ) the SIGN THAT FOLLOWS is that you can meet with, debate with, speak with, be condemned by, love, and forgive those who believe lies and preach lies.

We know scripture is clear, the SERPENT was more subtile than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. The serpent is and was a liar. For many years, SERPENT preacher/priests/spiritual guru’s/ and more/ have come and gone in my life. They sunk their fangs deep into me, told me that I was possessed, in error, lost, condemned, I have been called many things… But I always sat back and SORT of knew… they knew NOT what they do. I shook it off.

Doesn’t it make more sense that when we know the TRUTH if we meet a SERPENT preaching lies (venom/demon) we can endure their false teachings and slander and not even feel be hurt by it all… – OR do you believe that this scripture is stating to prove we believe we must get bit my literal poison snakes and not die?

LOOK, we can hear all the lies from these snakes, we can visit with those who believe their lies, we can have the lies shouted into our ears and watch them on TV and yet, the poison that comes out of these serpents mouths, the LIES of the Religious and Worldly can not hurt us anymore. Because we KNOW THE TRUTH.

Which brings us drinking any DEADLY THING.

First of all… let’s look again what PRODUCES DEATH, before we get into this.

Romans 8:6
For to be carnally minded is death

That’s right, once again, DEATH = IGNORANCE = BELIEVING LIES

And again… “the wages of SIN is death” — And from other essays I have written by now you should know that SIN simply means to miss the mark, or to miss the truth… proverbs calls the thought of foolishness SIN…

Once again, DEATH is the result of IGNORANCE — LIFE IS WISDOM AND BEING ENLIGHTENED TO THE TRUTH

SO, if the serpent is the LIAR, than the poison must be the LIE! And once again, we find this in many places in scripture.

Romans 3: 11
There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used DECEIT; the POISON OF ASPS is under their lips:

You see, DECEIT = LIES = POISON to the SPIRIT, WHICH produces DEATH (ignorance, carnal thinking). Notice how their THROAT (where our words become vibration) is called an open tomb… meaning THE LIES THEY SPEAK invite people to experience the DEATH (ignorance) they exist in. This is why Jesus said of the deceived Pharisees, “you scour the earth to make one proselyte and make them twice more the son of hell you are yourself.”

For those who DON’T know the TRUTH, and only know LIES we find “poison” under their lips. We find poison on their tongues. Not LITERAL poison mind you… LIES!

PSALMS 58:
3The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, SPEAKING LIES. 4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent:

It’s all there in two verses, the WICKED (IGNORANT) speak LIES, and these LIES ARE POISON, and it is like that of a SERPENT.

It should be very clear that another SIGN that follows believers is that the Lies of Man and this world cannot hurt them.

The Devils (False Beliefs) the Serpents (Those who spread lies) and the Poison (The lies themselves) cannot hurt those who believe… Nor can those who are enlightened to the truth speak these lies, or believe them anymore… IT IS IMPOSSIBLE!

BELIEVERS have been given a NEW MIND, and it is the TESTIMONY OF CHRIST. And when you are given the TRUTH will be given a NEW TONGUE! A Cloven (separated) Tongue of Fire… Your WORDS (sword) will be separated from the lies of the world and they will be like a fire burning down the lies inside of all mankind.

These are the NEW TONGUES we are given. Not gibberish, God is not the author of Confusion.

MARK 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall SPEAK WITH NEW TONGUES; 18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

These New tongues are actually our NATIVE language. THE TRUTH can only be heard by those who KNOW this NATIVE LANGUAGE OF TRUTH. Which, basically means… WE ALL KNOW THE TRUTH FOR WE COME FROM IT, and when the time is right we will RECOGNIZE it AS TRUTH! To some of you reading this essay, the words I write make such sense. They are great confirmation. To others, it sounds like a foreign tongue.

To others, we, like the apostles before us, might even seem like drunk fools. Many people won’t be able to understand the words of the Kingdom, which is why it is so important for us to INTERPRET the TRUTH carefully and without condemnation, with patience and in all meekness.

Not everyone will agree with this paper I have written, but that’s okay, one day EVERYONE WILL KNOW THE TRUTH AND IT SHALL SET US ALL FREE FROM THE LIES OF THE WORLD!

This is why when Religious people attack me, I shake it off, it doesn’t hurt me. When I am told I am wrong and that I must believe what others say, I drink that poison in and it doesn’t hurt me because I know the truth and it has set me free. And when I see people who are spiritually sick and hurting, I can tell them, it’s going to be okay, and that Truth spoken becomes the very OIL (wisdom) that can heal them.

Our words do not return void… Whatever we put out there returns to us, and accomplishes what we sent it out to for to begin with.

So don’t throw that Holy Water on someone who you think is possessed, they are merely confused and ignorant of the truth. Love them, comfort, and lead them into TRUTH and watch those LIES (demons) disappear. Put down that Rattler Bob, John, and Ruth, be like the STICKS;that are bundled together and hear the truth just don’t bite the messenger like that “viper” did when;the preaching got to hot to handle. And stay;away from any and all POISON that causes you to fear.

There is torment in fear and God has not given us the spirit of it. So that means… FEAR IS A LIE and you, the believer, are meant to CAST IT OUT! Because these are the signs that follow!

Welcome To The Manifestation

Welcome To The Manifestation

This is going to be a very short post. As many of you know I have a very active Facebook personal page and author page, I share each and every day there. Poetry, insights, videos and more. I don’t share everything here that I share there simply because I want this to be more of a resource for those coming to the faith.

However, today I felt that I should share a poem I wrote this morning and a video I produced yesterday on Facebook. I believe this is a significant message to many people today. It is a post for those who come here to learn, those who have just found me, those who need confirmation, those who need something to use something in their next sermon because they simply aren’t seeking the Lord themselves, and yes, even for those who simply come here to look for something to condemn me with.

I am adding this brief post because during my morning studies/seeking I stumbled upon the book of Titus. I knew instantly why I had. In this first chapter, the apostle Paul lays out a beautiful check list to know those who share the truth of God and those who do not. Thankfully, I have been blessed with a heart that continues to want to serve the living God (One who actually exists/spirit of Life/truth/Love/Inspiration) and so when I consume these words in Paul it fills me both with excitement and sorrow. Excitement because I myself desire to be a light to all of you, beyond reproach. I desperately want to do the right thing. In life, for my family, my career, for friends, those I do not know, those suffering, and yes those who spitefully use me and condemn me. I want to be a light to all. And so first I would like to share that chapter with you.

I would like you to ask yourself, if those who claim to have the way, the truth, and the life also have these qualities. Ask yourself if you do?

If you don’t then simply change. Repent and turn to love, because today is the day of “HIS REVEALING”. Today, is the day when we WAIT FOR THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD no more!

With this revelation, I also understood that if that be the case… then that MUST MEAN it is also time for the COUNTERFEIT CHRISTS in this world to be revealed and yes, exposed for where their TREASURE is… because the hearts of Babylon have been so far, today is finally the day when that will be no more.

Really read this, and understand this…. A TREE IS KNOWN BY IT’S FRUIT…

Titus 1
…If any man is above reproach, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, not accused of dissipation or rebellion. 7 For the [d]overseer must be above reproach as God’s steward, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not addicted to wine, not pugnacious, not fond of sordid gain, 8 but hospitable, loving what is good, sensible, just, devout, self-controlled, 9 holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict.

10 For there are many rebellious men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, 11 who must be silenced because they are upsetting whole families, teaching things they should not teach for the sake of sordid gain. 12 One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” 13 This testimony is true. For this reason reprove them severely so that they may be sound in the faith, 14 not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the truth. 15 To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. 16 They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny Him, being detestable and disobedient and worthless for any good deed.

And so after being convicted by the importance of sharing this… I was also inspired to write this poem. Titled, “The Prophecy” – because it is both a poem, an allegory, and a declaration of what is most certainly about to be. Ironically, immediately after sharing this poem, I googled pastor scandal and immediately found that 400 Pastors have stepped down because of their double life. I worked closely with these people when I was a spy in Rahab’s house, and I can tell you their closests are filled with skeletons that are about to be poured out so the entire world will see.

This is what Jesus meant when he said, “They are white washed tombs filled with dead man’s bones” — their lies and their traditions will fail them because today is the day of the Manifestation indeed.


The Prophesy

Rebuke them sharply, I was told, and so this poem I began to unfold.
As if these words were never mine to hold, a correction so great there would be no debate, for this is what is coming, I was told.
In a thought after the prayer, “Lord, use me to help the buyer beware,” it became obvious to me, that the world was going to see, by their fruit the souls that have been sold.”
While their secrets they hid, they tried selling the gospel to the highest bid, and for this, their correction the whole world is going to know.
That is right, this is much more then a poem. Within a fortnight the liars will have no place to call home.
Because the Existing One may have been out sight, but he never left us alone.
And now is the time for the day of the Lord to be known.
Their laughter will be turned to mourning when they see the tears that are cried. For now is the time of their betrayal to be realized.
The ministers, spiritual teachers and priests, the evangelists, cleric’s, rabbi’s, and guru’s with their corrupt antics, their scandal, and their ungodly wars and feasts, for them there will be no place to hide.
For strong, and fierce, will be the mouth of my child. His words will purge the lies from
their ungodly lives as the clearing of a barren field with fire.
Their corrupt nature, no longer their name, will be up in lights. They won’t even be able to put up a fight. For they stole from the people the promise, both day and night.
Great will be the fall, of the world’s brightest of them all. Because the wrong of Babylon is about to be made right.

Jacob Israel​

NO SIGN BUT JONAH

sign of jonah

NO SIGN BUT JONAH

The Day That Is Upon Us! This was the title of a poem I wrote a few days ago. At that time, Jonah had been on my mind, but I had no clue as to how much further I had to go to truly understand the allegory of it all.

A very big piece of the puzzle came to me when I wrote this poem below.

That Day Is Upon Us

Watch and Pray for the sign of Jonah is on its way.
And for some it has been here for quite sometime.

We have been in the belly of Hell (Our Ego) for three days and soon it will be time to rise.

So the next Pharisee that comes to me, and asks of me, prove it all with the sign.
With this next verse I will remind.

If you can’t see the trouble that had to be, then you haven’t paid attention all the other signs.
And now, none shall be given, but the giving of sight to the blind!

I was in prayer and turned on my Bible App on my phone, and the “verse of the day” popped up. It immediately got my attention, as Jonah had been all I had been thinking about and talking about recently. Unless, you are new to this site, if you have seen anything that I have shared recently I am sure you are well aware of this fact.

The verse was simple:

The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.
and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Jesus then left them and went away. (Matthew 16:1, 3-4 NIV)

In that moment, I understood that the ONLY SIGN THAT WOULD BE GIVEN TO THIS GENERATION is the SIGN OF JONAH!

And what a SIGN IT IS. And the sign is much more than being in the belly of the great fish (mans carnality) and being spit up onto Nineveh’s shore to preach repentance… JONAH WAS THE SIGN!

Many people miss this.

Luke 11:30
For as JONAH WAS A SIGN unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.

Let me first explain what the word SIGN means. Here is the actual translation from the Greek. SIGN: a sign, mark, token
that by which a person or a thing is distinguished from others and is known

The SIGN is that the SON OF MAN will be easily distinguished from other. A LIGHT among darkness. An example for others to learn by. There is a wonderful revelation one will find when they read the rest of the verses in Luke, where it clearly states that the people of Nineveh will rise up with this generation and a GREATER THAN JONAH IS HERE.

This my friend is the ONLY SIGN given. Nothing else. AN EXAMPLE of what we all are within, what we all are capable of, and WHO WE ALL ARE TRULY. AND THIS IS WHAT WE ARE TO EXPECT. And now, as Jesus once said, “is this prophecy fulfilled for you all.”

As I said, I have been talking a lot about Jonah recently. Perhaps it is because lately I believe I can relate to his experience.

Of course, Jonah is a type of Christ. Jonah as you will find out is a type and shadow of each and every one of God’s children today. Also, if you want a MORE IN DEPTH ESSAY simply read my paper “Jonah Revealed” that I shared years ago, which breaks down the entire book, and is quite eye-opening if I do say so myself.

For within the pages of Jonah lies salvation for all. By now, you should know that it is the LIES and CARES of this world that we are saved from. If you aren’t away that salvation has nothing to do with some myth called infinite torture, please do read my in-depth essays on such topics.

So let me get into this.

First some background.

This morning after finding out that South Korea and North Korea thankfully have come to terms so war is no longer imminent (we pray) there was a tug at my heart. I am not ashamed to admit, there was a moment when I truly believed that these two countries were going to start a war. The reason this was significant is recently I had shared a video entitled, “war is coming” where I awkwardly shared my feelings that we would see a very big war in our near future. I had been troubled about this feeling and so when I stumbled across the news about the Koreas hostilities I shared the video. I thought that like the other videos before it, I would see an outward manifestation of what was happening inwardly.

Now this feeling troubled me.

Because I questioned if sharing such a video as warning to people to return to love and peace so there is no war, was in fact a possible declaration of war. I know what I have been sharing lately has been very different from what I have shared in the past, but my desire to serve the God, Spirit, Source, Inspiration, Or Higher Self (whatever name you prefer) supersedes my desire to please all of you.

That means I am on a journey, one that I know is pure. I may make what some would call mistakes along the way, but they all work together for the good.

And so I did not worry about what the naysayers, Pharisees, and just down right mean people would say… I shared what was on my heart. And sadly, after a while the critique of others began to wear on me. But that’s all over now. Because I am not hear to tickle ears. You all don’t need me to tell you what you want to hear, you need to hear the TRUTH. For it is only the TRUTH that will set a person free. And the good news is, ALL WILL SEE…. Because of the SIGN of JONAH.

The truth is, I don’t like critique, I don’t like people tempting me, or condemning me, betraying me, mocking me, etc… but I will not allow that to motivate me… I continue to pray for the TRUTH no matter what the cost, and I continue to yield myself to that SELF SAME SPIRIT of Love within us all.

Let’s be real, if I simply shared what everyone wants to hear, and changed what I shared when all of my peers began to mock me, or condemn me, or openly tell me how wrong I am, then I would be a MAN-PLEASER and if you ask me there are far too many of them today.

Galatians 1:10
For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

I will admit I have been torn up about some of the things I have shared lately. I have been in very intense prayer/meditation over it all, for many sleepless nights recently.

You see, I am one who simply wants to do the right thing for the right reasons. And so over the years, I have always followed the voice of Inspiration, so long as that voice was backed up completely by love.

I have always said, “LOVE IS THE LITMUS TEST”. If it isn’t love, it isn’t God.

And I know in my heart, that what I have been sharing was one hundred percent inspired by love, and one hundred percent the will of God. AND NOW I HAVE THE CONFIRMATION OF IT ALL.

I may have questioned it here and there over the last few weeks, but this morning when I arose to the news of the KOREAS reaching an agreement, the revelation hit me square in the jaw and it was wonderful.

You see, I did not want to see another huge war. I hate war. I hate fighting. I hate hate. Even though, I understand wars will come until this world system is done. But after warning people of what might happen, and finding out that it might indeed happen sooner than imagined, I BEGAN TO BELIEVE that this terrible thought could in fact be.

I immediately began sharing links about the tensions building not just in the Koreas, but also the Israeli/Iran/Syria conflict that is on going. In my heart, I feared a huge world war could in fact be near. Of course, just sharing with people these thoughts invites a slew of criticism. And boy did the people lay it on. But now, and I am smiling as I type this, I understand it truly is all working together for my good.

But I digress, when I woke up this morning and read that North Korea and South Korea had indeed come to terms, I almost felt stupid. I even felt upset. Not because I wasn’t happy to see war averted, I was praying it would be. But because I got so much negative feedback for sharing what I did, which I KNEW I WOULD, which is WHY I didn’t really want to share it to begin with, but because of this negative feedback when I saw there was no war, I felt foolish. AND THAT IS WHEN THE REVELATION OF JONAH HIT ME.

Ironically, I had just been studying Jonah, I have mentioned Jonah quite a bit lately as I a fore mentioned. However, never, until this day, had I ever understood why Jonah got upset when God did not do to Nineveh what he told Jonah to warn them he might do.

AND WHAT A GLORIOUS REVELATION THAT WAS! It was like a weight had been lifted from me. In that moment, everything became clear.

NINEVEH WAS SPARED because JONAH finally did what God demanded. Also, because the people repented at his obedience.

Now granted, when we read this story it is confusing as to why Jonah got upset when sudden destruction DIDN’T fall on the wicked land. We understand by reading that Jonah should have been rejoicing that SUDDEN REPENTANCE DID instead!

However, we may have not considered that Jonah, like me, might have felt a bit foolish too. He boldly declared of the devastation that would soon come if the people did not repent. AND THEN WHEN IT DIDN’T COME… he was like….

Jonah 4
2… “Isn’t this what I said, Lord, when I was still at home? That is what I tried to forestall by fleeing to Tarshish. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity. 3 Now, Lord, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live.”

His reputation, in Jonah’s eyes was ruined. As those who most certainly warned him, “You will lose all credibility if you start talking that way,” and in Jonah’s eyes, he also probably second guessed himself. He probably wondered whether or not he should have shared what he shared at all…

That to me completely resonates with what I have been sharing lately.

I was almost certain the war I had the troubling thought about… the war that I, like Jonah, tried to “stall” (as Jonah did) in telling others about… well I believed it might begin in the Koreas, and then when I got the news that they had come to terms, which I should have immediately rejoiced over, I was like Jonah saying “I KNEW YOU WERE SLOW TO ANGER AND ABOUNDING IN LOVE, A GOD WHO RELENTS FROM SENDING CALAMITY… THIS IS WHY I DIDN’T IMMEDIATELY SHARE THE VIDEO, AND NOW… NOOOOOOW I FIND OUT THAT THERE IS NO WAR? — And that is when, I heard God’s voice… just like Jonah (not literally of course, it was a thought, a beautiful thought).

4 the Lord replied, “Is it right for you to be angry?”

Right then… I KNEW! Of course, I shouldn’t be angry. OF COURSE, I SHOULD REJOICE! How foolish Jonah was, and how foolish I came close to being as well. Jonah was more focused on what didn’t happen, as opposed to being in awe of all that did happen BECAUSE HE SIMPLY OBEYED not caring even if it would cost him his life.

SURE, it took some coaxing, but eventually after he ROSE FROM THE DEATH of that FISH (HIS CARNAL MIND/EGO) HE PREACHED REPENTANCE and BECAME A SIGN FOR NINEVEH… And THIS IS THE SIGN we are beginning to see as well!

In fact, I am the SIGN, just as Jonah, just as you.

You see, before the revelation I am about to share, I was sitting in my bed shaking my head. I began to think, most of what I have shared about the flooding, and the earthquakes, and martial law, well all of that literally began happening almost immediately after sharing it, which is why each day I added a new article to my posts. But this WAR THING, this feeling that there might be a big war. Well, I waited (as Jonah Forestalled) a long time because I DID NOT WANT TO SHARE THAT MESSAGE WITH ANYONE. It was almost like I didn’t believe such a thing was possible either.

HOWEVER, as I have made perfectly clear I am man who wants to do the will of God. I have submitted myself to it all and so when what I though might happen didn’t happen, I like Jonah sulked. As I said, I literally even prayed, “I KNEW you were a GOD who loves, who is patient, so WHY INSPIRE ME TO SHARE THAT?” — But the lesson the Lord placed before me was NOT LOST ON ME.

I should be more focused on the world waking up from it slumber as opposed to waiting for devastating things like natural disasters or war to happen. I know things are changing and I know bigger change is going to come and this is why I have been like Jonah warning people, REPENT for the day is at hand. I simply feel it, I simply believe it, and that is why when I found myself behaving like Jonah I had to pause and refocus my attention on the awakening that will come one way or another.

And so if nothing comes of everything I have shared, even though most has already begun and come to pass, than I will rejoice instead of sulk like Jonah.

I expressed this revelation in a poem I wrote this morning. After reading it, I will indeed share what it is I see clearer now, more than ever before.

The Lord told Jonah to warn the people of the coming destruction that was on its way.
And that if they did not repent there was a great price they would pay.
But this was not a game Jonah wanted to play, because he knew what the people would say.
And so Jonah originally went the other way, saying “You’ll forgive them anyway.”

But after three days in the belly of hell, the message he originally refused to tell,
paved the way so that in the end, for Nineveh, all was well.

No life was lost, no one but Jonah had to pay the cost.

But until now, I never understood how, when Nineveh was spared Jonah could get angry and begin to cry. “God, I knew you would spare them, that is why. I didn’t want to warn them because when you didn’t deliver on your promise people would begin to say that I lie.”
But Jonah did not understand, that through this God had a plan, so that when Jonah warned the land few if any of them would die.

And so it was foolish for Jonah to get upset,
instead he should have rejoiced when God’s wrath was never met,
because in the end it was his obedience that paved the way for sparing all their lives.

You see, BY ONE MAN’S OBEDIENCE the WHOLE OF THE WORLD CAN BE SAVED AND ENLIGHTENED… and THIS MY FRIENDS IS WHY I HAVE BEEN SHARING WHAT I HAVE BEEN SHARING.

Romans 5:19
For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

And so keep watch and pray.

I began this article with this scripture…

The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.
and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Jesus then left them and went away. (Matthew 16:1, 3-4 NIV)

I have been tested lately by the Pharisees and Sadducees of out day. Saying PROVE IT, PROVE IT, PROVE IT! And when I offered the “proofs” again and again, I realized there would NEVER BE ENOUGH PROOF. Even if WORLD WAR THREE BEGAN TOMORROW, and God knows that still could be, the fact that I expressed my concern over such and it happening, well that would NEVER BE ENOUGH!

In the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, the Rich Man begs that one back from the dead be sent to warn his family to not make the same mistakes as him.

LUKE 16
29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’
30 “‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’
31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”

This lesson was not lost on me today. And so none of you will get the proof you want. NONE OF YOU will get the SIGN you think you need. BECAUSE NO SIGN will be given but that of JONAH!

And behold a greater than Jonah is already here.

So get ready, Jacob

God Spelled Backwards Is Dog

God Spelled Backwards Is Dog

Hello my friends,

I have indeed missed you all. I so wish I had more time to share with you all, but I do know that everything happens the way it is meant to happen. And so it is a foolish thing to beat yourself up if things in your life going in a different direction than you would like. The scriptures teach us that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD of those that love the Lord. And so every single thing we experience in this world is a necessary part of our spiritual evolution.

There are times in our life when we simply are not afforded the wisdom and insight to make, what we would consider, a better choice. In scripture we have read of how God blinds those he sees fit so he can graft others into his vine of love.

Romans 11:6-8
6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.

Now, if this be the case we must not condemn ourselves with the past. The past no longer exists. The past was only there to get us to the present. And we all know that the present is all there really is.

I remember years ago, not understanding why God hardened Pharaoh’s heart which prevented him from letting Israel go, but later in life I realized that like the struggle of the caterpillar in the cocoon if the butterfly was released to early from it’s tomb it would not have the strength to survive and thrive in it’s new form.

This gives us all reason to rejoice, for buy it we understand that our present suffering is working in us a far greater reward than what we would have achieved without it.

Romans 8:18
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

And so my friends, I want you to remember this short message today. Because we will rise from our cocoon in this world. We will resurrect from the grave of this world. And we will overcome this world by that which we endure.

And so count it all joy my brothers and sisters, as the scriptures state… because the glorious day of our revealing is upon us. This generation shall indeed NOT PASS until all is fulfilled. I personally believe this time to be an awakening of such magnitude that it will change everything we thought we knew about the world and ourselves.

So please remember to let patience have it’s perfect work.


James 1
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

And let us not forget the day we are in. This morning this was a poem I wrote to give everyone a taste of the essay I am about to write.

The Day That Is Upon Us!

Watch and Pray for the sign of Jonah is on it’s way. And for some it has been here for quite sometime.

We have been in the belly of Hell (Great Fish) for three days and soon it will be time to rise.

So the next Pharisee that comes to me, and asks of me, prove it all with the sign.

With this next verse I will remind. If you can’t see the trouble that is soon to be, then you haven’t paid attention all the other signs.

And now, none shall be given, but the giving of sight to the blind!

In The Now – Ep5 & Ep6

Hello everyone,

Once again I am so very excited to share with you my appearance on the next two episodes of “In The Now with Jim Swilley”.

I do believe what Jim is doing here is not just important, but revolutionary.

This world has dumbed us all down, brainwashed into thinking we are something we are not, and because of this we find every “evil” under the sun.

There is a reason the scriptures state, “The Truth Shall Set You Free” because the lie is what has caused us all so much pain. And it is high time we be delivered from such. And blessed are the feet of all those that are bringing the Gospel, especially men like Jim Swilley and those who participated on the show.

So let go of all your preconceived ideas about what you think God is and your relation to him, because in these next two episodes Jim Swilley, myself and the other great minds on this program are going to take you to church and somewhere over the rainbow and back again.

Please do enjoy this, share this link with others and please do subscribe and tell a friend about “Jacob’s Ladder” here at http://www.JacobIsrael.com.

Also, look for Jim Swilley’s “Metron” as well as all of his other work at Bishinthenow on Youtube.

And don’t forget to download the Jacob Israel free app on all your smart devices today.

I love you Jacob

“Take Me To Church”


“Over The Rainbow”

NASA RESPONDS and IS THIS WORLD A HOLOGRAM?

NASA RESPONDS to my September 15th request -and- IS THIS WORLD A HOLOGRAM?

—————–

This post is more of an update, the video following explains much more of what I wanted to share and reveals a deeper meaning to all that is going on right now. Below my introduction you will find NASA’S response to my request for information to calm people’s fear over an incoming comet.

Since many people have been asking me all sorts of questions about my latest essay, I reached out to NASA media relations to try and get someone on record stating we don’t have to worry about any incoming comet/asteroid, below is his response and the links he sent me to share.

But there is much more to share than that. This is why I did this video earlier today for you all. I talk more about what is happening spiritually, as well as possibly literally in September.

I know change is coming, I know that now more than ever before we collectively need to put an end to hate in this world. I believe our “vibration” for lack of a better word, our THOUGHTS whether pure or defiled, need to become unified in love. And I believe together we will change this world.

That being said, if we don’t, this world and the hearts of those in it will be change for us anyway. Because THE CHILD OF GOD CANNOT DENY HIMSELF.

We will shake off this moral toil and rise to the heights of divine love again, of that I am sure. But I personally would rather it be a peaceable ride to get there and not a violent, disturbing one. It’s Jonah’s fish or The Royal Caribbean cruise line people this world needs to return to the Lord.

In any event, I pray you enjoy this video. I also hope you remember we have nothing to fear. God does NOT give us that spirit. I am not fearful of what is to come, I am excited see what all of this spiritual energy is going to bring our way.

Something is coming people, I just hope the “story” stops getting worse and starts getting better.

A WARNING TO EVERYONE!

comet

A WARNING TO EVERYONE!

THE TRUMPET SOUNDS!

Seriously… please do read this and share this far and wide if you feel the same.

Bare with me everyone because for many what I am going to SHARE may sound a bit crazy… But I promise you, I am of sound mind. (I know all crazy people say that… right? … Well, I am not one of them.)

I do know this post will sound out of place on my site here. I have never been one to share gloom and doom. And I am NOT starting now.

So I am fully aware that what I am about to share may be a bit out of the ordinary, but today I am very much in agreement with “Inspiration” that what I am going to share MUST be shared.

And this is only the first post on this.
Tomorrow, a video most likely will follow, and if what I feel in my heart is true, then I expect many more dreams and visions and ideas on the subject to give me plenty of material over the next couple of weeks.

You have to understand, I am NOT a conspiracy guy. I had no idea of what was going on in conspiracy chats or blogs or whatever, about military exercises, peace deals, climate warnings, or even a comet that might hit the earth before recently. But I DO know, that I was woke up last night inspired once again, with something new to say.

That being said, I have learned from experience to listen and to simply act upon what I am inspired to share, ONLY AFTER I know without a shadow of a doubt that I MUST SHARE IT.

So here it goes,

For months now I have been telling others by September 15 there is going to be a huge change in my life, possibly the world.

My wife, my colleagues, friends close to me, and other spiritual men and women I know on here will attest to this.

So try and follow me here…

Last couple of nights I have had dreams and ideas/visions that I should start telling people that now is the time to truly LOVE and to CHANGE the way they live their life.

I have been feeling lately like I needed to warn people that if we don’t come
together and live for each other as opposed to living Godless/Selfish lives things are going to get much, much worse.

Why? You ask.

Because things in this world are going to change very drastically, very soon… And I must add, over the last couple of years they already have. The storms, earthquakes, and more we are facing is like nothing else we have experience in our generation before.

The President has said, “we are the first generation to experience the effects of Climate Change and we are the Last generation to be able to do something about it.”

I saw a youtube video, that followed his speech on Climate Change with the quote, “this generation shall not passed until all is fulfilled.”

And so, I want to let you all know that things are going to seem to get much, much worse in the world.

That’s right I am talking like end of days worse… Earthquakes, massive flooding, famine, wild fired, war, disease, and more.

Fun, right? … Not at all. And neither is this essay an ear tickling one.

THE GOOD NEWS is, I know this leads to something truly beautiful.

Now for years, I have written that the things we read about in Revelation as well as the entire body of scripture are meant to be taken allegorically.

And while that was true for me, and for many like me, who have woken up to the reality of “God” and Love, for the rest of the world I have now come to believe these events may also be quite literal.

Which is why, I have been haunted by “Inspiration” telling me to WARN THEM…

Sounds a bit odd, I know. But, you have to trust me, I do believe in a little while as the scriptures state, “God will once again shake the heavens and the earth, and shake all nations, and the desired of all Nations will come, so the HOUSE of God (us) may be filled with glory”

In others words, things in the world are going to get much worse if we don’t return to LOVE … But if we do, as Ninevah was spared, so may the wicked in this world as well. So may this world be spared from, what my dream would seem to imply, could be the beginning of sorrows, also known as Jacob’s trouble ironically.

I know that sounds nutty… But that doesn’t mean it isn’t true. I have a history of saying things will happen before they happen, not bragging just stating a fact. If you know me, you will know this to be true.

So, I want you to know that to say, I have ruled out the possibility that this is simply an over active imagination on my part. I am rational very successful man both in life and business… So I don’t consider this a flippant post but one that I believe must be shared, and considered immediately.

My faith and passion to serve God (inspiration, love, peace, truth) will always trump public opinion of me.

So last night, after a dream of my wife preparing a fatted calf, and hearing the words, warn them of what is to come in my heart. I woke up Danielle and we spoke for about an hour. I told her of my fear, and explained of the many coincidences that have led me to this BELIEF that the world was going to go through a terrible time…

I mean, let’s be honest we are already going through a terrible time, but perhaps things will be speeding up soon if we don’y change.

I wrote about this in my novel, in fact the whole “fiction” led up to the main character stating… SHAKING WAS COMING UNLIKE ANYTHING THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN.

As I said, for awhile now SEPT 15 I thought was about me, about everything changing for me… BUT NOW I KNOW IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT ME… it is about the world as a whole.

Throughout the day, I had unnerving coincidences that continued to point me into this direction, where I am sharing with you all tonight.

I will share some…

Today, I found out, as it turns out this SEPTEMBER 15 I have been talking about, also happens to be THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES (literally). Not to mention according to Catholics it is known as the Feast of Seven Sorrows.

But it gets better, on Sept 13, 14 it is time for the the FEAST OF TRUMPETS … This is ironic considering I have been writing about this very moment recently, my 144,000 essay, my videos about it, my “Trumpet shall sound” Video and more leading up to this moment.

But it gets more surreal.

Before this day according to scripture the MOON will not give it’s light …

Matthew 24:29
“Immediately after the distress of those days “‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light…

And coincidently on Sept 13,14 there is a NEW MOON! (GOOGLE IT)

Which means, the Moon before this day sept 15 literally will not give off its light.

Not to mention also on September 13 there is going to be a partial Solar Eclipse. That is a whole heck of a lot of coincidence. But read on, there is more.

This is how Jonah must have felt … I on the other hand, prefer not to be swallowed by the great fish and brought to the depths of hell before realizing I should of said something to begin with.

And as I prayed SHOULD I REALLY COME ON HERE AND SAY SOMETHING… I get an email from my good friend Bob, who is asking me to do a voice over for the trailer of his novel, whose lead character is loosely based on me “Noah Israel the voice in the dead woods” — Take a look at the voice over copy I receive.

Bob Souliske 8:26pm
We tried to warn them, so many times in so many ways.
They would not listen. Now the price has been paid.
The darkness has fallen and the long night has descended.
There is still hope, it flickers softly.
Even in the darkness there is always a shimmer of light.
Hope has sparked our conviction and our conviction has strengthened our resolve. We will be the light that shines in the darkness. We will be that voice that echoes through out creation.
“We will be free.”

My prayer… should I warn them… answered quite literally within seconds of me praying it.

Everything is about to change, unless everyone changes, these are the words I keep hearing.

So please LOVE LOVE LOVE

We shouldn’t need a major natural disaster to turn us back to the Lord of Love and Peace, we shouldn’t need earthquakes and or the quote on quote “star” falling from the sky to remind us that it is better to love than hate.

So for lack of a better word, and at the risk of sounding like that guy … Repent (turn back to love)

I am not saying the world is coming to an end, just an fyi, but I DO know an END OF SOMETHING IS COMING… and I believe that to be MAN’S WICKED WAYS.

I have been saying September 15 for a long while (i thought that had to do with my career, as I said before) however, I am dedicated to following what many consider to be Inspiration, I call it GOD…

I think the coincidence is too coincidental … Call me what you will… But before doing so, take these words to heart.

AFTER THE DISTRESS… the scriptures also speak of a STAR FALLING from the sky… In scripture it is known as wormwood…

AND GUESS WHAT… On September 15, 2015 — A COMET (star) many conspiracy theorists are saying may indeed fall from the sky… right after the literal moon is literally darkened (new Moon)

http://www.conspiracyclub.co/…/nasa-confirms-2-5-mile-wide…/

And so, before posting any of this it took a lot of interesting and downright scary coincidences to get me to finally take this seriously.

Now, I am adding to make this clear, I am NOT saying I know for a fact this is happening, I am only sharing all of the coincidences and all the things I found out “other people” are saying are going to happen on or around that day.

That is a lot of energy from many different people all pinpoint focused on CHANGE… And CHANGE is what I believe is going to happen. An awakening of a sleeping Giant if you will.

I invited my friend Charlie to help me research the date and time further. And it was then we found out quite a bit more “coincidence” surrounding
this day. More of which you will find as you read on.

How is this all possible? Why was I woke up from this dream and vision and inspired to warn the world?

I KNEW NOTHING, NOTHING ABOUT ALL OF THIS… I never heard of star or comet approaching the earth… I didn’t know about the timing of the Christian and Jewish Feasts, not to mention the HUGE Jade Helm military exercises going on and ending on September 15 — google it…

Many are saying Jade Helm 15 is set in place because our government knows something we don’t and they are setting up precautions to keep order and to keep those in power, in power.

http://www.nytimes.com/…/in-texas-a-military-exercise-is-me…

Which leads me to the discovery of Shemitah, google that too… Taking place at the end of September. It is an event that took place after seven sabbath years where everyone was released of their debt.

Ironically, many are predicting a global economic collapse. More coincidence for sure.

SO I AM HERE TO WARN YOU… after all of that, and more that I can’t even begin to explain in this one post… I KNOW THIS IS MORE THAN A SYMBOLIC EVENT… so please let us get together and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE

Think about it… What if God is real? What if THIS is the time of his “coming/revealing”? I know those who claim to believe, don’t really believe, which is why even your religious leader commit unspeakable acts in the name of God on a regular basis.

Well the time of God winking at such behavior is over….

Think what you want about me… But I know what I know and what you do with it is up to you… I know there will be more to come…

The following information below I added as new information came to me.

24 hours after sharing this I have received a huge outpouring of support and of course my fair share of attacks.

Readers of mine also opened my eyes to the the Blood Moon Tetrad — which of course is also an unlikely celestial event, also taking place in September…

“The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord,” – Joel 2:31

“The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord.” – Acts 2:20

There seems to be a feeling out there that something big is about to happen. Another reader informed me of Shemitah, more confirmation of what I had already known. In fact, three different readers brought this to my attention.

The Shemittah year ends coincidently in or around September 15th as well… Which is outlined below…

At the end of seven years you will make a release. And this is the manner of the release: to release the hand of every creditor from what he lent his friend; he shall not exact from his friend or his brother, because the time of the release for the L‑rd has arrived. (Deuteronomy 15:1–2)

Many people are making their rounds saying that there will be a financial collapse … The culmination of the Shemitah Year “the release of debt” happens at the end of seven years …

Side note: I recently did a video about the Gypsy Moths that appeared everywhere in my back yard recently, after seven years of hibernation Mind you.

In any event, many are saying (just found this out) that they believe there will be a global financial collapse…

http://www.infowars.com/the-shemitah-the-biblical-pattern-which-indicates-that-a-financial-collapse-may-be-coming-in-2015/

Now if there be an event, that possibly wipes out of power grid… Well, everyone’s debt would be wiped clean indeed… That would be nice, but where would my blog be then. 🙂

And of course, Yom Kippur (day of atonement) happens Sept 22,23

Let me also add, CERN running their hugely controversial experiment. Many are saying they are trying to open a dimensional gate. Please do google all of this to find out more, I have not had time to throughly investigate all of this.

My friends, that is a WHOLE LOT of coincidence. None of which I was aware of until the night before last when I woke up understanding that I needed to warn the world that EVERYTHING IS ABOUT TO CHANGE… And I do believe it.

As I have been saying on social media, credibility be damned, public opinion be damned, Let God be true and I am committed to doing what inspiration tells me to do.

I have nothing to gain by sharing this. Up until this point the majority of what I shared was to reveal the symbolism and the allegory of scripture to understand the spiritual … But now, I am here to say I believe we LITERALLY will see a Global shift, crisis, event, etc that we have never before seen.

So we need to LOVE now more than ever before. We need to repent. We need to return to the Lord.

So keep watch, because very shortly, things are going to get very interesting. I love you, PLEASE DO SHARE THIS MESSAGE and the ONES TO FOLLOW, Below you will find a Video I did to further explain my heart, which I hope helps you understand why I am doing what I am doing.

In conclusion, I have taken a lot of flack from people about this recent “warning post”. (Ironically, all of those doing the mocking and condemning have not even read my post.)

Do you honestly believe the guy who speaks of the importance of symbolism and has NEVER in ten years written something like this would do so now, for no reason at all?

I shared this because for months I had been saying BIG CHANGE was coming by September 15 (which I thought had to do with my life alone) then I had a dream that was troubling. I woke up from it disturbed about it, began to pray and meditate on it, and then one day later began finding out ALL OF THE EVENTS said to be transpiring on and around that time.

1) New Moon
2) Solar Eclipse
3) Feast of Trumpets/Tabernacles
4) Four Blood Moons
5) Jade Helm
6) Possible Comet Strike
7) Pope addressing UN in NY for first time in states
8) New Peace Deal signed – Global Sustainable Development
9) Shemitah – predicted Global Economic Collapse
10) CERN – crossing over experiment
11) Yom Kippur – Day Of Atonement

And today as I was researching everywhere on the NASA site to actually find the organization refuting the “comet claims”, which one would think would be easy to find, instead of links on snopes that only lead to links of so-called quotes taken from a Nasa representative (nothing on record, and nothing on Nasa site mind you) all I find is a youtube of the French Foreign Minister announcing over a year ago of impending GLOBAL CLIMATE CHAOS. He then gave us a 500 day count down to such…

Which, is quite a precise time frame don’t you think? Considering the 500 days comes to an end on or about September 15, 2015… So you tell me?

If you were woke up, and believed in God, and knew God inspires and warns his people, and believed a time of Great Change was coming, and then FOUND OUT ALL OF THIS INFORMATION immediately afterward… and YOU believed you were supposed to warn people, regardless of what they thought, expecting NOTHING out of it in return, what would you do?

Would you be like Jonah and turn in the opposite direction, or you would learn from that story and trust that EVERYTHING is meant to be.

I don’t know if any of it will happen or not, but I have a feeling that I am meant to tell you all about it. What you all do with this information is up to you.

I pray that you all RETURN TO THE LORD, that everyone LOVES, FORGIVES, PUTS OTHERS BEFORE THEMSELVES, HUMBLES THEMSELVES, and HELPS TURN THIS WORLD INTO THE PARADISE it is meant to be.

Here is a clip of the French Foreign Minister talking to Congress visit… And below I have a video which expresses my heart and further information about all of this.

So, you tell me … Am I imagining all of this? Or based on all of the evidence, am I here indeed to wake you all up to what is possibly to come?

Immediately after the distress of those days “ ‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’ “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. (Matthew 24:29-34 NIV)

I Love You All, Jacob

Please do share this for all to see.

Revelation 14 Revealed

IMG_3860

The Lamb and the 144,000

If you are anything like me, lately you have felt an extraordinary excitement within, a feeling like something big is about to happen. And if you are anything like me, you know that means CHANGE is no longer coming, it is here now!

As you know I am one who submits himself to the power of inspiration…
Another way of saying that is, I am one who is totally and completely submitted to the Lord of Hosts. Which is to say, who I am in this world is “Host” to a power and spirit much greater than my own.

That’s right I am talking about “God”. That spirit that is IN me, and the spirit I am in. The beginning and the End, the creator of us all. Existence. Source. Light. Love. Whatever name you have for the “Father” us all … I am here to declare “Him”. I am here to declare what Father Inspiration has to say.

And so when recently, I began seeing the numbers 144 everywhere, almost immediately after turning 44 years old myself, I knew there was something to it. I knew I was meant to share with all of you.

However, if you know me, you also know I consider what I share a weighty thing. And so, I don’t just immediately jump on something and tell the world what I believe it means, I wait until I KNOW what it means.

It wasn’t until receiving a check for 144 dollars by my Mother and receiving and email to look into the 144,000 of scripture that I finally understood…

The Day That We All Have Been Waiting For Is Here!

It should have been obvious to me, the caterpillar infestation in my backyard, the subsequent revelation and video that followed, my wife revealing to me my suffering was as the patience Job before entering the double fold, and then of course the countless Gypsy Moths rising from their tombs and following me everywhere I seem to go…

All true…

And so I knew, I was meant to deliver a message.

Below you can find this message in the form of a youtube video, if you want to forego the deeper meaning of Revelation Chapter 14, which speaks of the Lamb and the 144,000… But I do encourage you to gird up your loins and allow Inspiration to open your eyes to the great and “terrible” (to stand in awe) day of the Lord.

If not simply scroll down to the 144,000 video… Don’t forget to subscribe it is free, and please, please share this if it has encouraged you.

To try and be brief, as I know this message to be of great importance. I simply am going to share chapter Revelation 14 and after each verse, enlighten you to its meaning.

So let’s begin shall we … For within these verses you will see YOUR LIFE!

Rev 14:1
Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads.

What St. John is describing here is highly symbolic. The book of Revelation is meant to be taken very much like the interpretation of a dream.

In fact, a majority of the scriptures are nothing more than allegories for us all to learn from.

This is why the apostle Paul maintained that the literal interpretation of the holy scriptures kills the life and truth found within the SPIRIT of the scriptures.

It is the SPIRIT of the story that gives LIFE (enlightenment/wisdom).

So with that being said the “LAMB” we see here is clearly symbolic of CHRIST (the power and wisdom of God).

A Lamb is a baby Sheep, it is the sacrifice, it is a symbol of casting off the old nature of man.

This is why the Lamb we read about in scripture is slain. For more info on the lamb Slain check out my essay on the subject.

Notice the place where the Lamb stands … Mount Zion. This is a symbol of true enlightenment. The height of understanding and wisdom. It is a place of complete TRUST in the Lord.

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever. (‭Psalm‬ ‭125‬:‭1‬ NIV)

Now this Lamb that St John saw standing firm before him was also with 144,000 overcomers.

Each of the 144,00 had the “Name” of the Lamb and the Father written in their foreheads.

Quite literally, the word “Name” means Nature. And so to picture anyone with the Name/Nature of God written in their foreheads, is to see someone who has the Nature of God written in their minds… In their foremost thoughts, a person will find Love.

This 144,000 is a first fruits if you will.

It is the remnant chosen to stand up today. They TRUST in the Lord (Mount Zion is where they stand) and in their minds, (written in their foreheads) one will find the true nature (name) of God. (love, truth, power, creativity, light)

Now why this chapter is important is because the 144,000 that John saw in his vision are now being revealed to all.

That’s right these are the chosen vessels meant to declare the new day.

Strategically placed these 144,000 individuals will together speak only the truth of God. Which is why John goes on to say,

“And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters and like a loud peal of thunder. “

We know that Heaven is within us all.

So what John says he hears from heaven, we know it is actually coming out of the mouths of this remnant (144,000) of people who have been enlightened to the truth.

The sound came from like a roar of rushing waters and a loud peal of thunder.

Well what John heard was God’s WORD …. The truth… As Ezekiel 1:24 states, the sound of a “roar of rushing water” is as the voice of God. Which is Wisdom spoken from our heart.

And Proverbs states a fountain of WISDOM is as a rushing stream.

Not to mention, according to Job, thunder announces the coming of a storm.

His thunder announces the coming storm; even the cattle make known its approach. (‭Job‬ ‭36‬:‭33‬ NIV)

John saw a day when Messengers would stand up all over the world and share the light of truth, and in so doing also drawing all of mankind to them…

As I am declaring a new day to you, so too John saw a day when men like me would do the same. Isn’t that interesting?

Quite a coincidence, one might say. 😉

And so these 144,000 (messengers submitted to God’s will, not by choice, but by election) John sees declaring what is to come, as thunder declares the coming storm.

But there is something beautiful about this sound John hears. He describes it as the sound of Harps.

The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps.

A Harp is symbolic of laughter and joy.

These messengers will talk quite a bit about peace and joy. Also a coincidence don’t you think?

Do we not hear today love, peace, and joy declared in the land?

The HARPS John hear was Laughter, Joy!

In a land, that Isaiah woefully explained, where Joy (harp) was cut off from the land of the ignorant…

The joyful timbrels are stilled, the noise of the revelers has stopped, the joyful harp is silent. (‭Isaiah‬ ‭24‬:‭8‬ NIV)

… Now John hears joy.

Do you hear the laughter? I sure do.

Even though today it seems
Laughter is gone… To the “144,000” with the Lamb (Christ/sacrifice) in their midst, a NEW SONG of praise is SUNG.

This SONG (message of truth) no one else can sing (share). The 144,000 alone will teach the world to sing it.

And they won’t need to buy the world a bottle of coke to do it. 🙂

And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth.

The four living creatures we find in the book of Revelation as well. Ezekiel also speaks of them. There is a difference in their number of wings. And Ezekiel these living creatures have four wings. And revelation they have six.

So these 144000 with the lamb they sing this new song in front of these living creatures and in front of the throne of God.

The throne of God by now you must know is the human brain. I have an article on that called the white throne of judgment on this site please do look it up for more information.

But who are these four living creatures? What does the lion and the ox and the man and the eagle represent?

I believe these represent the different nature’s within man. In Scripture, we see very often animals being used to describe the symbolic of the natures found within the heart of man.

The stubborn OX, who is worthy of it’s hire. The wicked man whose mind is on evil each and every day. The LION that goes to and fro seeking whom it may devour. And the Eagle who rises above all, known both for its ease of flight, cunning vision, the greatest predator of all.

And, of course the 24 elders that sit around the throne of God, symbolic of the 12 pairs of cranial nerves that surround the brain.

This is a two-pronged approach. Symbolic of the song being one that is found in heaven. And the song that they sang being found in the earth.

This is not just a natural, temporal work but it is a spiritual work as well.

Which is really a fancy way of saying that when these individuals stand up and share this message of truth and joy and express their laughter and love. Those words will then affect those who hear it without and within which will bring about a change for all to see.

The chapter goes on to describe the character of these individuals that John sees.

These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among mankind and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb. No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.

This verse obviously has nothing to do with sexuality. It is symbolism once again. The women these individuals do not defile themselves with is man’s ignorant soul.

The woman is not a literal woman obviously. The woman that is not supposed to speak in church that Paul spoke of is man’s intellect. EVE

EVE is what brought all of this suffering upon us. Man’s intellect is a dreadful thing, and it, like EVE gives birth to all things. For out of our EGO and our Intellect do we shape the worlds.

These 144,000 no longer rely on their intellect… They don’t become ONE with the weaker vessel (intellect) they FOLLOW ONLY THE LAMB!!!!

They are as VIRGINS … I sure hope you have eyes to see this.

These individuals, that I know are in the earth today, are not to be congratulated for their good heart and their charity. They have no choice but to be they are meant to be. They understand that they are predestined according to a greater purpose than the intellect would say. This is why they will not mess with the woman anymore. This is why they are as virgins. Because they have been purchased to be a first fruits.

These are they that I’ve called Jesus Christ on earth. If the name Jesus explains the nature of these individuals better. However, one must stop trying to label everything to explain it.

That was Adam’s job… To label things… But now only one thing matters at all. Submitting to the Lord. Submitting to love. Standing in awe of the spirit that is and was and will always be.


Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people.

The day John saw is the day you are witnessing right now.

Today, even my blog can be read all over the world. Because the eternal gospel of truth, of love and peace MUST be declared everywhere.

And so it is, we MUST submit to TRUTH.

He said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.”

And isn’t that what I have been saying all along?

Listen, if you are reading these words right now then you should know they are the fulfillment of John’s vision.

Isn’t that incredible?

Do you see the day we are in?

Not just that …

We are moments away from the whole Religious System falling.

And before that happens the 144,000 declare that we must give God, and God alone, whether you know him by that name or not, the Glory.

The first, is what I have been saying from the beginning.

This is why many who first loved me and celebrated me now abandon me.

Because I declared, “I am IN the Father, and the Father is IN me, but I AM NOT THE FATHER, but you shall only know the Father by knowing me. And no one will know the Father by any other way, than by hearing what I say and doing it.

And so those who abandoned me, those who reduced the everlasting spirit within us all to a mere word, “love” and have declared there is NO GOD while not realizing they have made their own INTELLECT’S GOD, and those that declare there is a GOD and condemn those who do not agree,

who they have made their Ego (Intellect) God while screaming there is no God beside their Ego/Intellect, ironically.

A second angel followed and said, “ ‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great,’ which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries.”

And NOW you will hear me say the same… As Babylon once fell away within me, now it falls away without…

The religious system was first beat spiritually and now it will fall temporally … Sort of me saying, what John said, that i too have said before…

If anyone follows after the lies of religion, if any worships their intellect, their carnal ego, and keeps greed, selfishness, lust, judgment, hatred, fear, shame, in their heart, these individuals will find no rest day or night.

A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.”.

We have been patient, we have endured hardship, and we have lives a restless life before, but as we have been woken up from our ignorance, so too will those who worship their Intellect/Ego ignorantly.

This is the patience of the Saints. That we remain faithful to the way, the truth and the life within us.

This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus.

Next John understands that once we enter into the REST of God that we are blessed.

Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”

Our deeds will follow us truly. Everything we say will return to us. We are held accountable after all.

Now this last part, is what I am perhaps most excited about. Watch how the beautiful symbolism comes to life clearly before your eyes.

I looked, and there before me was a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was one like a son of man with a crown of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.

When John describes white cloud he’s actually describing the great cloud of witnesses.

He is describing the chosen group of people meant to stand up. He is saying they are as Jesus in the earth.

Isn’t that interesting? Isn’t that what I’ve been saying all along?

The difference is now the number is far more vast that will now LEARN this NEW SONG they sing.

Gold is symbolic of Divinity. A crown is symbolic of authority. And the sickle is symbolic of the truth been cast into the world to reap.

The time is now my friends. The Time is Now!

Then another angel came out of the temple and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, “Take your sickle and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested. Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. Still another angel, who had charge of the fire, came from the altar and called in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, “Take your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of grapes from the earth’s vine, because its grapes are ripe.”

Now here is what I am inspired to write about this last portion. The first part of this essay dealt with the first fruit, the overcomers, and since the first fruit is deemed holy, so is the rest.

Those who, to us, seem lost will not be lost for long. For the ax is laid to the root of their wickedness. This means, those that denied the truth and allowed their ego’s to rule will now be plucked off the Earth’s vine and gathered as grapes.

Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great. (‭Joel‬ ‭3‬:‭13‬ KJV)

The time is now indeed. So get ready to see a great upheaval in the land. Get ready for those who do not trust in the law of Love to put thrust into the winepress of God’s wrath…

This is symbolic of correction. None of us is a stranger to suffering. Scripture teaches that through much tribulation we enter the kingdom of God… And so even though this may seem a grievous time for those who have not yet been enlightened to the truth, because of their hardship, they will.

People everywhere will be humbled, and when they are, the spirit of Love and truth will be able to restore it all. Kingdom of God on earth, heaven on earth. The prayer as it is in heaven, it will be on earth.

So, the harvest has begun and that my friends is a good thing. So think it not terrible when we see those baptized with the fire around, so hardship and struggle will pave the way for eternity.

The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath. They were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses’ bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia.

And Behold the day is here!

Speckled Sheep

Jacob's Sheep
Speckled Sheep

Just this past week we witnessed History. The Supreme Court ruled that Gay Marriage is a RIGHT. And as you can imagine, it has set off a firestorm of debate worldwide, especially among those who claim to have faith.

I, for many years, have been very vocal about my support for gay rights. I have made it clear, that this understanding is not just to appease societal pressure, but God given, if you will.

There IS a reason ten percent, or so, part of the population, is attracted to the same sex.

There are many reasons behind this. But for some, well… They just are not reasonable.

That being stated, there are many faiths that could simply explain same sex attraction.

The idea that a person may have been female in a past life and was still attached to that form, could explain their attraction. Oh sure, I know reincarnation is something that most religious minds cannot fathom. However, the scriptures point strongly toward incarnation of some sort.

Jesus, when asking the disciples who he was, many of them believed he was one of the prophets back from the grave.

Jesus also said John the Baptist was actually Elijah reincarnated.

However, it is a fruitless effort to try and explain why things are… They simple ARE! And simply pointing to passages in Holy Books to prove why things are the way they are is indeed a vain task.

It is my belief that everyone of us are intrinsically connected to each other. And so to see another as shameful is to actually hate one’s self.

The fact that we are all different and yet the same is important. Because it teaches us of the futility of intolerance and hate.

On the surface we may seem different, but spiritually speaking we are all the same. Scientifically speaking we are in fact part of one vibration, what many minds like Einstein would call the unified field… We all are connected. The scriptures teach us that we are in fact ONE!

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. (‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭4-6‬ NIV)

And so I think it is a beautiful thing that together we are no longer looking at others as somehow less important, less righteous, less moral, or just less than ourselves.

Religious People are angry because a set of other people were finally given the right to take part in a very misunderstood vain tradition of man, “Marriage”

Especially when marriage, according to scripture, has nothing to do with marriage in the traditional sense. Far from it. And yet, what we know as marriage today is a great allegory for us. Two becoming One, and being fruitful and multiplying. (Which is completely spiritual if truth be told.)

Because the two that become one is the CHRIST and the INTELLECT of man. Or the SPIRIT and the SOUL if you will.

It is actually about heaven and earth being bound together… So that whatever is happening spiritually will also be happening tangibly and naturally. And boy is it ever happening today … Exactly, as planned I must say.

And yes, those who know me, I long saw this day.

Many do not understand why I said one day everyone would be allowed to marry, and many more don’t understand why I am so excited to see this come to pass…

And it would be easy for me to not understand, why they don’t understand, because LOVING OTHERS as yourself (even though they are you, or a reflection of you) is the ONLY WAY to paradise….

But I do understand why they can’t simply understand this because there is a Great Famine in the land.

You see Religion had seven years of plenty, if you will, but as prophesied there is a great famine in the land. There is a great hunger for the wisdom, and power of God, which IS Christ.

Now there is a great hunger for truth, like never before.

And NOW, people are going to start looking, and what they are going to find… You first found here with me…

Unity.

Religion’s god has forsaken them, religion’s god has failed them… Because LOVE IS LOVE, do you see?

And so I wrote this poem recently, which poetically explained why I see many of those hurt by religion my speckled sheep, if you can receive that? … That I won fair and square from Laban, much like the kingdom for simply making a meal for my “hungry, irrational, older brother” 😉

In any event, please do enjoy the Poem and Enjoy the Video that further explains this vision. Videos are easier for me because my AS makes it hard to type sometimes. So please do share this labor of love of mine.

Please, please subscribe, and share this free resource with others. Hope this poem and video resonates with you and I look forward to hearing back from all of you.

I love you Jacob.

BEHOLD MY FLOCK

“Like the “JACOB” from scripture, I too am a Shepherd, and I was a Shepherd for Laban, otherwise known as Christian TV.

Yes, like Jacob, the one from scripture that I must confess is me.

And when I was there, prosperity was in the air, and yet I declared the knowledge of the LORD, and the WISDOM OF LOVE was not found anywhere… and this is why I ULTIMATELY had to leave. But not before taking with me the SPECKLED, the SPOTTED, GOATS and SHEEP.

Like LABAN, Religion sees THESE type of SHEEP as undesirable, and so they were given to me.

My desire, which burns inside me like a fire, is to lead. And so I went through Laban’s flock and chose… all of those… who LABAN loved to beat.

To which LABAN replied, and for the first time had not lied, “I have no problem you taking those undesirables away. I never liked those Speckled, Spotted, Sheep and goats anyway.

Laban said, “Jacob, you can have the fag, the whore, the addict and the poor. You can take the broken, the hippie, the crazies, and the marijuana token. You can have the weak, and all of those sinning disgusting forsaken goats and sheep!”

And so I did when I left Religious TV… and NOW BEHOLD THE FLOCK SURROUNDING ME!

Laban, Religious TV, today the world has spoken… BECAUSE GOD HAS FORSAKEN THEE!”
