If My People

If My People

God is calling His people to repent.  He's not calling America to repent.  He's not calling the E.U. to repent.   He's not calling the Democrats or the Republicans to repent . He's not calling the politicians or the Governments of the world to repent.   He's not telling the WHO or the NHS to repent.   He's calling is to His people.  If My people, which are called by My Name (2Chron 7:14).

What is wrong with America, the UK, Canada, the Democrats, the Republicans, the politicians, the Governments of the world, and the medical institutions is not that they are corrupt, wicked, and in error (though they are, that's not the underlying reason for it) - it is that God's people are not right.

Those who are called by His Name are corrupt, wicked, and in error [turn from their wicked ways].  This is the reason for the problems in the world.  It all stems from God's people and it will only be healed by the repentance of God's people [turn from their wicked ways; then will I... heal their land].

Judgment Must First Begin

It is not the repentance of the world that is going to fix this.  No political reform or candidate is going to make this all go away.  It is only through the repentance of God's people that this is going to be fixed. "shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways."

Nations are only healed by the people of God within that nation who are walking in His ways [If My people].  God judges nations because of His people that fail to walk in His ways.  It's easy to look outside and say that it is the wicked who are the reason for our problems.

But God says that it is His people that keep the nation protected.   And when His people turn to pride and wicked ways, they are the downfall of the nation [humble themselves, turn from their wicked ways].

In The House of God

Sadly, God's people are looking the other way on this - believing that it is the wickedness in the world that is at fault and bringing all this down and spreading it.  God says differently. God says it is our wickedness, the wicked ways of God's people [If My people turn from their wicked ways].

Peter says that when the judgment of God comes, it comes first on, or at, the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? (1Pt 4:17).   Peter doesn't stop there.   He goes on to warn us righteous that we are scarcely saved, so where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? (1Pt 4:18)

God wants us saved and He's going to save us from ourselves, and since we in these first-world countries have grown so comfortable and full that we have need of nothing, not even God (Rev 3:17).  So He is going to begin the shaking, the cleaning, and the threshing - in His house (1Pt 4:17-18).

The Rapture Will Protect Us

Too many of God's people today want to say and think that "We're not appointed to wrath" (1Thes 5:9), this is why so many believe in the Pre-Tribulation Rapture false doctrine.   This doctrine of demons will damn many Christians (1Tim 4:1).  I believe it will be the major reason for the Great Falling Away (2Thes 2:1-3).

Many Christians are just not mentally prepared to have to go through any tribulation here on earth.  Many of those who manage to survive and don't curse God and die (Job 2:9) will then take the Mark of the Beast because they don't believe that they are going to be here when it rolls out.  Thus they will fall away (2Thes 2:1-3) and be eternally damned (Rev 19:20).

God's Message of Coming Judgment

In Isaiah 9:8-21 through Isaiah 10:1-4 God warns His people - then as the nation Israel, now this warning is for His people in every nation - that God's hand was turned against them in anger.  Why was this?  Because of their refusal to see God's warning to repent, then in their pride, they chose to fortify themselves.  Their enemies clearly came against them (in America think 9/11) and they decided that they needed to be stronger rather than see it as a warning that God's protection had been lifted from the nation - and so repent.

They didn't need God's protection - they could do it themselves - so they thought.  After all, they had taken God out of their schools and His words off their walls, and out of the halls of justice - and they were still standing.  Weren't they?  They didn't need God.  Now that wasn't the doing of God's people but God's people let it go by and slowly more and more of God was taken away from the nation.

The nation was refusing God and His protection.  But it was because of God's people who had become comfortable in the nation and were not willing to confront it (Rev 3:15-17; Pr 1:32; Isa 47:8-9; 1Thes 5:3) - and more - they did not "humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways" (2Chron 7:14).  It was because of this that God allowed the judgment upon the nation - because of the acts (or the lack thereof) of His people.

God's Wrath?

Let's go back to 1 Thessalonians 5:9 and how "We're not appointed to wrath".  We might not be appointed to God's wrath but that doesn't mean that we're not going to get it if and when we chose to walk outside of God's will.   Just ask the third of the master's servants who thought he was doing right by preserving the little that he was given.   He suffered the Master's wrath (Mt 25:30).

Further, the Tribulation period is not God's Wrath - it's the wrath of Satan through the Dragon, the Beast, and the Man of Sin.   God's Wrath comes after we are (actually) taken up when Jesus returns and pours out His wrath on those that have exercised wrath on God's people (Rev 19:19-21; 2Thes 2:8).

Or did you not read that the Beast was given power to wage war against God's holy people and to conquer them. (Rev 13:7)?  That's not God's wrath - that's the Beast's wrath.  You know, the one with the dreaded Mark?  That's not God's Mark you know?   So it's not God's wrath either.  But wait, there's more to this that Zephaniah reveals.

Gather together and pray, you shameless nation,
while there still is time—before judgment begins
and your opportunity is blown away like chaff;
before the fierce anger of the Lord falls and the terrible day of His wrath begins.
Beg Him to save you, all who are humble—all who have tried to obey.
Walk humbly and do what is right;
perhaps even yet the Lord will protect you from His wrath
in that day of doom.
(Zeph 2:1-3 TLB)

Yep, God's Wrath

Yet, what we now see coming will be God's wrath upon an ungodly shameless nation.  Or upon a nation where His people have become ungodly and lost sight of God (Jer 10:24) and have no shame about it.  Because the if and when clause has been activated.  As students, we didn't have an appointment with the Principal and his wrath but if and when we messed up and did wrong - we got a Pass that gave us an appointment to his wrath.

Then there's the blind ignorance of many calling themselves Christians who think they're going to be raptured out of having to deal with any serious problems saying, “We’re not appointed to God's wrath”.  But this is not God's wrath its Satan’s wrath.   God's wrath comes when Jesus returns.  We must [go] through much tribulation [to] enter into the Kingdom of God (Acts 14:22).

For You have tried us, O God; You have refined us as silver is refined.
You brought us into the net; You laid an oppressive burden upon our loins.
You made men ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water,
(Ps 66:10-12 NASB)

Read the book of Zephaniah and see just how much wrath God is going to pour out on His people for their sins - it should put you on your face before God.  "He has prepared a great slaughter of His people and has chosen their executioners" (Zeph 1:7 TLB).

Appointment With Tribulation

Perhaps you have not read (or remembered) that though as a child of God you may not be appointed to God's wrath; but if and when you walk in disobedience - you then have it coming.  "The wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience" (Col 3:6; Eph 2:2).

Most of Christendom today has become disobedient children.  Guess what's coming?   Pride goes before destruction (Pr 16:18), and God's people are proud.  Guess what's coming if we don't repent?  Our nation's are coming down because of the ungodliness of God's people.

Give Us A Man

Many in America think (or at least hope) that the coming election will make it all better.  No matter which party side you're on, they both believe that their man (or woman) will fix it because it's what the others are doing (or not doing) that is causing (or allowing) this.

First-World Christians have this mentality that they are not going to have to suffer but that their faith or their political party is going to deliver from any bad times.   They have no connection to the reality of even the last hundred years of history and the thousands of Christians that have been persecuted and died for their faith.  Let alone the Church in China that is suffering and being put to death by the thousands - even today.

God tells us that this is all a result of the wickedness of His people, not of the world, politics, or governments.  If My people, who are called by My Name (2Chronicles 7:14).  It is the people of God that hold a nation together and the same that bring it down - according to God's word.

The answer is not in the polls, or even in your faith, but in the prayer closet - it's in repentance.

An Appointed Time?

In Isaiah 9:11-22 - 10:1-19, God pronounces judgment upon His people because they did... just what America did with 9/11.  They suffered an outside attack that caused them to raise up in pride and declare that they would rebuild stronger.  The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedar (Isa 9:10).

Rather than see it as God's warning and repent of how far they have slid from God and were now out from under His protection.  They allowed God to be taken out of everything in the nation - prayer in schools, 10 Commandments off the walls and out of the halls of justice, say God is dead,... and then to wonder where was God on 9/11?   Where you cast Him that's where - out of your nation America.

At this time, Time Magazine proclaimed "One Nation, Indivisible."  What's missing from that statement?   "Under God" used to be in the middle of that statement.  See how clear it was that America removed God from the nation and from helping them?

What will You do Now in The End?

Dear child of God, Repent!  Repent now and hard.  Don't focus on your nation or your neighbor - God declares that you are the problem, not them (2Chro 7:14).  We are all that stands between our nation's and God's wrath.   Perhaps He will relent a little longer and give us a time of peace - for a space.  The End Times are a coming but it is possible that they may be delayed if we get right with our God.  God may spare our nation's on account of our repentance.

 

But there's not much time left...

 

If My people, which are called by My Name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
(2Chron 7:14)

Gather together and pray, you shameless nation,
while there still is time—before judgment begins
and your opportunity is blown away like chaff;
before the fierce anger of the Lord falls
and the terrible day of His wrath begins. 
Beg Him to save you,
all who are humble—all who have tried to obey.
(Zeph 2:1-3 TLB)

COVID-9/11

 

It was 19 years ago today - as indicated by some control number going around [COVID-19].

In the day of great slaughter, when the towers fall (Isa 30:25 NIV)
The pasture lands and the countryside will shake
At the [piercing] sound of the [hopeless, wailing] cry of your pilots. (Eze 27:28 AMPC)

XXXXX-19.  Not so much for "2019" (who's working in the CDC on New Years' Eve?) but to indicate the time-frame when this agenda is to activate from its starting point to its culmination - 19 years.  For the United States (and as a message to the world) September 11th, 19 years ago, was the ushering in of Terrorism - the terrorist threat.  It was an external one (at first) so that we would rise up against it and fortify ourselves - rather than repent.  Yet what we did was enact temporary measures that we all bowed down to - for our safety.  For our safety, we were willing to give up some freedom.

So we danced around the world causing chaos and hunting men we were told started this.  All making that world hate us all the more.  But it made those at home feel better; like we were getting some justice - without any repentance on our part.  We got the TSA as a means to protect us - from them.  Yet it was us that were targeted and harassed.  And here we are 19 years later and still have the TSA. 

There's nothing more permanent
than a temporary measure

Herd Mentality

So we are seeing this again and likewise, the sheeple are ignorant that what control we give them they will take and they will not give it back.  This time it is targeting personal safety.  This way they get us to do self-enforcement which leads to turning in our neighbors and all the other things the Nazi's taught us.  Sadly we have forgotten history as we are pressing hard to repeat the bad parts of history.

Media Manipulation

They don’t have a baseline for the tests - so they can move that made-up line anywhere they like to get the results (and therefore the reports) they like.  They tell us to wear masks to stop the spread but they don’t test us in the mouth, do they?  Thus telling us that there’s nothing they would detect in our mouth - which we have to protect everyone from.  Absurd.

The Case of Cases

Every day we are bombarded with numbers to increase the fear and keep us subjugated.  They report cases as if they were deaths.  When they’re not even cases.  They are merely people who tested positive on today’s setting.  Normal healthy people with no indication of illness for the most part.  A case is when you’re in the hospital.  That’s not what they’re reporting - I hope we understand this.  What should have woke us up to this manipulation is that they never tell us how many people were tested to get those numbers.  They never tell us how many tested negative.  Why is that?

If the death count - which has been admitted to be falsified - is high enough (or stored up enough) they place that first in the report.  This is wholesale media manipulation.  It's just the beginning.

Appointed To Tribulation

These lies are all propagated to bring us under being controlled as the new norm and to keep them inching them up in baby steps - all across the board.  To where we MUST take the vaccine because “masks don’t work” they will finally determine.  So you won't be able to just wear a mask and get by - you'll have to be inoculated and then we will have to have a way (think mark) to know who is safe and who is not.  This will be the advancement to the tracking for your safety.  Which is a precursor to getting us numbed down and willing to take the Mark of the Beast.  And yes Virginia, you’re going to be here for that.  So you’d better pull up your big girl pants and get ready because you’re not getting a pre-ride out of here.

We are clearly seeing a manifestation of those who honor a god of force rising to power (Dan 11:38).  This is being forced upon us and it's global.  So many Americans are looking at this as if the November election is going to fix this - as if it were only happening in America.  Wake up!  This is worldwide.  The American election is not going to fix this.

Strong Delusion

Then there's the blind ignorance of many calling themselves Christians who think they're going to be raptured out of having to deal with any serious problems saying, “We’re not appointed to God's wrath”.  This is not God's wrath its Satan’s wrath.  God's wrath comes when Jesus returns.  We must [go] through much tribulation [to] enter into the Kingdom of God (Acts 14:22).  Did your false doctrine forget to tell you that one?  We don't go up until Jesus comes down (1Thes 4:16-17) and He's not doing that secretly - every eye shall behold Him (Rev 1:7).  He's coming at that time for us with a loud trumpet blast and the raising of the dead in Christ (1Thes 4:15-16) - that's not secretly - no one is going to miss that.  And He's not coming twice.

Perhaps you have not read (or remembered) that though as a child of God you may not be appointed to God's wrath; if and when you walk in disobedience you then have it coming.  "The wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience" (Col 3:6).  Most of Christendom today are disobedient children.  Guess what's coming?

Did you know that day isn't coming until the one whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders comes (2Thes 2:9)?  Till after the falling away [those who believed that they would be raptured out bail on God when He doesn't deliver them from the Tribulation]?   Perhaps it's time to reread 2Thessalonians 2:1-17.  For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for Him (Php 1:29 NIV).

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day [the day of Christ's Return, the day that we are 'raptured'] shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.  Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, (2Thes 2:3-4, 9)

 "Christians" in America have this mentality that they are not going to have to suffer for their faith but rather that their faith is what's going to deliver them in a secret rapture.  They have no connection to the reality of even the last hundred years of history and the thousands of Christians that have been persecuted and died for their faith.  Let alone the Church in China that is suffering and being put to death - even today.

Heard Mentality

This is an interesting phenomenon we are seeing today.  What we have is the Cult of COVID.  People often ask what kind of people get into cults, or why do people get into cults?  Yet here is a perfect example before us.  People buying into an unseen danger (because we're told it's a danger) and doing what they're told to do at every step or this unseen (and unknown) mystery is going to get us.  This is a cult tactic, and it's working on masses.

We're wearing masks because we're told we must (it's the law), and worse, we're not protesting it.  Oh, we're allowing protests - to Burn, Loot, and Murder our cities and destroy us from within.  Protests that the powers that be allow (even create and fund) but don't question your masters when it comes to them limiting your freedoms - it's all done for your protection.  In some states, you can now assault a police officer and it's no longer a felony - it's a $30 fine.  That's less than the fine for not wearing a mask in some countries.  It's wholesale madness.  And it's just beginning.

Merely the Beginning of Sorrows

Toilet paper shortages, protests, madness, social distancing, anarchy, cash shortages, masks, BLM, food shortages, winter fuel shortages, de-funding of police,...  On it goes, and it will not get better as many think.  Most think (at least hope) that come the election it will all be better.  No matter which party side you're on.  They both believe that their man will fix it because it's what the others are doing (or not doing) that is causing (or allowing) this.

God tells us that this is all a result of the wickedness of His people, not of the world, politics, or governments.

If My people, who are called by My Name (2Chronicles 7:14)

It is the people of God that hold a nation together and the same that bring it down - according to God's word.

An Appointed Time?

In Isaiah 9:11-22 - 10:1-19, God pronounces judgment upon His people because they did... just what America did with 9/11.  They suffered an outside attack that caused them to raise up in pride and declare that they would rebuild stronger. The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedar (Isa 9:10).  

Rather than see it as God's warning and repent of how far they have slid from God and were not out from under His protection.  They allowed God to be taken out of everything in the nation - prayer in schools, 10 Commandments off the walls and out of the halls of justice... and then to wonder where was God on 9/11?  Where you cast Him that's where - out of your nation America.

At this time, Time Magazine proclaimed "One Nation, Indivisible."  What's missing from that statement?   "Under God" used to be in the middle of that statement.  See how clear it was that America removed God from the nation and from helping them?

So what will You do Now in The End?

Dear child of God, Repent!  Repent now and hard.  Don't focus on your nation or your neighbor - God declares that you are the problem, not them (2Chro 7:14).  We are all that stands between our nation's and God's wrath.  

Perhaps He will relent a little longer and give us a time of peace.  The End Times are a coming but it is possible that they may be delayed if we get right with our God.  God may spare our nation's on account of our repentance.  

But there's not much time left.

Men Who Hold the Truth in Unrighteousness

Men Who Hold the Truth in Unrighteousness

The Porn Police, Spam Scams, Ignorance, and Your Alias

Awhile back a neighbor left a message on my phone.  She said that Microsoft had contacted her about the porn server that she was running on her computer and that she is now having to pay over $400 to have it removed.  Well I just laughed and thought, someone is going to straighten her out on this I thought, as it was so wrong that I didn’t even know where to begin to explain how impossible this was (I’ll explain that in a moment).  That is, I didn’t know were to begin to try to explain to someone like this who could not understand enough logic to fall for a scam like that.

It’s My Fault I Suppose

Her main concern for calling me in the first place is because I work with the local Internet ISP and service our local relay.  So she is thinking that it is one of our neighbors that is running this porn server.  The confusion just kept coming.  You see, they convinced her that this “porn server” it was not only on her computer but her router, her phone, and apparently someone close by was doing it.  And she bought what they told her.  She probably thought, and told everyone, that it was likely me running this porn server.  I mentioned earlier that it was impossible that this was going on here because I monitor and graph the local relay data, so I knew no one around here was running a server to any degree.

As Time Goes By

It turned out, as I found, that not only did her family and friends not set her straight on this but that they even thought it was legit.  They told me that this “Microsoft” had shown here the site she was hosting and after she paid them handsomely they showed her that it had been taken down.  Wow!  Again, I don’t even know where to begin to explain to these people that they are falling for a scam.

What’s Wrong Here

First, Microsoft is not the Porn Police.  They do not care if you are hosting pornography.  It happens.
Second, pornography is not illegal unless it’s child porn, then Microsoft does not email you about it — the FBI comes knocking on your door for that!  (As they should)
It needs also to be noted, if you haven’t realized yet, that this “Microsoft” is not the real Microsoft.   These are criminals scamming people.

The True Crime

By the time I did talk with her about this and told her that it is a scam and they are going to keep coming back to you in a few months because they got her to install a back-door for them to play with her computer (and because they have a sucker on the line).  She told me that they already have come back and that she, at that point, has paid them over $1500… for nothing but a scam.  I’m in the wrong business I thought.  This is child’s play to give someone the impression that they are running a porn server (or whatever) and give them an IP address for them to view it at to “prove it”.  Then just take down what you have put up in the first place — after they pay you.  This is the crime, not some porn server.

How Does This Work

Fear and intimidation my friends.  With a dash of embarrassment thrown in for good measure.  These leaches fish for people that will bite at their bait.  They bait you with something that you fear, or something that you are passionate about.  A nice housewife doesn’t want to be running a porn server does she?  Why she would pay good money to get that taken care of.  In ignorance and fear we act in haste.  She could have replaced all of the supposedly infected devices with new ones for less money then she paid these scam artists to supposedly remove the “problem”.  They come to you in sheep’s clothing, they appear as legitimate corporations, institutions, or businesses.  This one posed as Microsoft.  You gotta trust Microsoft right?  But they are wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Meanwhile

While I’m still not sure she believes me that she has been scammed.  It has made me aware of the vast ignorance of things Internet and how technology works.  Meanwhile those of us who understand that this “thing” that happened to her is not possible (in her case) and not probable in most cases.  Even if you were doing what they said, what is that to them?  After all, maybe you ARE running a porn server.  There are people doing that sort of thing on the Internet — so I’ve heard.

What To Do

First, do nothing.  Second, quit opening spam emails.  Third, get off the Internet.
If you’re not smart enough to know if you’re doing something or not, of if it’s even possible, then you should not even be on a computer or the Internet.

Okay, if you’re going to stay online then at least do these things.

     1) Create a pen name.  Spam and scams are the main reason I advise everyone to never use your real name on the Internet.  Only your online banking and very important stuff like that should know who you really are. 

     2) Get another email address to use with that pen name and use that for everything aside from your critical transactions like banking.  This way when you get seemingly important emails from your bank but they are not using your banking email or your real name, then you know it’s a scam.  It makes it simple.

Got It?

One of the first things you should do in these cases is to contact your local ISP (Internet service provider) and ask them if they know anything about it, or if it is even possible that it is going on.

Any questions?

Stop Using Internet Explorer (IE) !!!

Why are people still using IE?  I’ve said this before.  I’ve said it for years…  Quit using IE!

If you’re using IE stop now!  If you do not have another Browser - that’s the thing your using now to view this page (I feel have to say that because I’m finding that too many people do not know basic terminology as to what they are doing today).

I’d also tell you what to do and where to go to download and install another browser but there again if you’re using IE you’re not likely to understand what I’m talking about.  Fear not.  I will provide you some links (the orange colored text below) that you can click on and will take you to where you can download a safe and usable browser.

Safe - because IE is known to be to porthole for viruses and many nasty things off the Internets.

Usable - because any (real) web designer knows that IE (Internet Explorer) is THE browser that does not render pages correctly and your code has to be ’tweaked’ to make it look somewhat like you intended it to, and what every other browser shows correctly.

You design in FireFox or Chrome, then you check it in IE to see how much work you have to do to fix it, or just care less because no sane web surfer would be using IE anyway.  When you find sites that only look correct in IE it is because the web designer does not know what they are doing and was using IE.  Go sit in the corner!

Chrome - Click on the blue button in the middle.
FireFox - Click on the green button that says Windows.
