Dr Robert Malone and cardiologist Dr Peter McCullough are the latest to be reinstated to Twitter


Twitter has reinstated the accounts of two doctors who were banned over the social media platform's policy on Covid-19 misinformation.

Dr. Robert Malone, an mRNA vaccine researcher, and cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough, both saw their profiles reactivated amid Twitter owner Elon Musk's ongoing efforts to restore accounts that were previously banned.

Malone announced his return to the platform on Tuesday with a Tweet saying 'I'm back', before plugging his latest blog post 'Welcome to Fifth Gen (Information) Warfare' - which in its first paragraph featured misinformation on Covid-19 vaccines.

McCullough has not yet posted since his account was reinstated.




I know there are going to be some mixed opinions on this one.

But, from purely from a pragmatic standpoint (saying this as someone who's very much pro covid vaccine), I think it makes sense to end their twitter ban.

Though I disagreed with them getting banned in the first place...I think bad information should be combatted with good information and not censorship, even if one agreed with their bans, the conditions that would've justified their bans are no longer applicable.

If it was done in the name of "making sure people aren't exposed to information that would dissuade them from getting the covid 19 jabs, and what impact that could have on the healthcare system", I don't think those conditions apply anymore. Now that most of use have been vaccinated (and boosted), or have already had covid...or both, and most governments themselves have adopted a "live with the virus, it's no going away" approach...combined with the fact that if someone hasn't gotten the vaccine at this point over 2 years in, despite these two guys not being on Twitter for the last year, it would seem as if those folks are pretty "dug-in" on their anti-vaccine position and don't have any intention of changing, so there's no real harm in allowing them back on Twitter at this point. (and furthermore, I would have to assume that the people who were devout followers of these two guys probably found other non-Twitter ways to access their latest content and opinions, so it's not as if the Twitter bans were really accomplishing much)

Please pray for faith

【Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 】Matthew 16:16~17

Please pray for me(sangeun) and all of my family members(junghee dohan jieun hochul jeolja nosun zzomi) to know the Jesus and Gospel and the truth by Spirit of God and accept the Gospel and Jesus christ and believe in Jesus christ. and not to give up on Jesus christ and faith at any situation and repent of all our sins and be free from all our sins and be forgiven all our sins by Jesus and go to heaven surely.

Please pray for me(sangeun) and all of my family members(junghee dohan jieun hochul jeolja nosun zzomi) to believe that the Father is in the Son Jesus and that Jesus is in the Father. And Jesus Christ directly reveal the name of God the Father to all of us. And that God fulfil the Bible verses above for all of us.

Judges hear arguments in separate election lawsuits filed by Kari Lake, Mark Finchem

Tuesday morning, judges in Maricopa County Superior Court heard arguments on two separate election lawsuits filed last week by former GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake and Mark Finchem, who ran for Secretary of State.

Christmas time relationships

So I guess it's a thing that a lot of people are looking to get in relationships around this time of year. I'm not sure why since it's one of the busiest times of the year.
Today on the Christian radio the DJ was talking about their niece having found someone on Black Friday.

She was already talking about buying an Apple watch for him, which he said is a whole another topic and no no. But for some reason he said he didn't want to spend Christmas with her. So she's postponing giving him the Apple watch, but the DJ says that he thinks that it's a red flag. He said he understands how busy one can get, but to have a few minutes together for Christmas seems like a solid relationship choice.

What do you think?

Need Space from loved ones who hurt you

I have been praying about how to deal with this situation. A family member said some very hurtful things to me via text. Then later text -i went to far sorry. After we spoke on the phone she never said I’m sorry. The things she said was horrific. I know she was being demonically influenced. However, I am praying to be able to find a way to have a relationship with her, but am afraid of what she will say. At this time, I do not want my daughter to be over her house. It sounds sad. But if she’s being led by the devil she will use anything to get to me. I understand the enemy goes about seeking those whom he can devour and uses most of us at times if we are not in the spirit. I’m staying prayerful.

Hard to title this post...

Hello everyone

I am a believer in the Judeo-Christian narrative. I am looking for sources of Christian "material/churches/groups/people" that would help me strengthen my faith, so to speak, the problem is I am very picky.

I am sort-of tired of "chewing the meat and spitting out the bones", and I would like to find a preacher/pastor/church/books/materials that I believe actually hold up accurately theology, following Jesus, loving others, humility, kindness, non-judgementalism, non-religiosity, authenticity, genuineness, biblical, supporting and prayerful for each other, etc. I know so many do seek this type of thing. I've to many good churches, which I am thankful for.

I was an atheist who believed evolution and had a NDE/OBE, became a theist and then researched science and religion, now believing we both did not come from evolution, and that Jesus is who he said he is, and rose from dead.

I absolutely am repulsed by "complete and exhaustive foreknowledge", and find some strain of "open theism" that supports a literal "free will" that can actually "surprise God" as refreshing and biblical.

I've done a lot of research in the past reading certain Early Church Fathers like Irenaeus, and books like the Shepherd, Enoch, Wisdom, etc.

I am tired of, and I really don't like going to, or watching online, churches who preach like inauthentic religulous people, or if they preach on topics that reveal their own theological compromise such as "evolution".

I want to respect them from a distance, but at the same time find people who want to be genuine and authentic and "real" believers, I don't know how else to put it, but also take God's word as the early church did, and Jesus. Like.... literally. Or symbolic literalism, regrading things like revelation. But not allegorical, such as what evolutionists would have to conclude.

If religulous works for some people, fine, I am happy for them. I consider them fortunate the have so many good things.

Anyone else have any of the same thoughts, or seeking something similar?

Maybe I am off, I am sorry if I am.

Just to list a couple preachers and authors who I have very much admired in the past: Derek Prince, Neil T Anderson, Nabeel Qureshi, Francis Chan.

Thanks for any responses

Struggling with how to live as a Christian

I feel like I'm in a perpetual cycle of mustard grain faith and that mustard seed being snatched away and turning from God altogether. It just seems that when I try to build a relationship with God my life becomes harder and more stressful or everyone around me is testing me more by showing more disrespect or something.

Like last week, got kicked out, broke phone then was having car problems, no money, got a new phone and that one was magically malfunctioning then I got a 3rd one and my provider lost all records I ever had my phone number that I had everything linked to. Coworker was yellin at me bein disrespectful too when I was nothing but respectful. Finally I said I give up, thought there was suppose to be peace in the Lord and told God to smight me. Is God just testing me and I failed? If it was how long does the bad stuff keep happening before things get good?

I think my main test is people though, like disrespectful judgmental people that show no courtesy. I go to the store or work and its like theres always someone trying to "flex" on me by refusing to even move a little to let me pass if we are walking towards eachother or someone lookin at me and shakin their heads when im just trying to mind my own business. Sometimes I just get sick of it and cut right in front of them or give them the shoulder.
How do you deal with that? I know the bible says to turn the other cheek but God doesnt want all his children to be pushovers does he?

Now I feel my heart is hardened again and lacking faith and hope. Perhaps God doesnt want me in his kingdom?

Hi everyone :) Question

Hi! :) I hope your day is going well.

I have a question. I was thinking y'all can help me figure out something. I just got a printing job done at this business, and the way they do things is really high quality and the price is amazing. They're all really nice. They even seemed to have knocked $20 off my order. So my question is, would it be okay for me to go back and give them a tip? Would they consider it rude or insulting?

They did a good job, excellent. They took $20 off my order and didn't even mention it. They even did a part of the order for free, they didn't even charge me for it.

Idaho University Pays 90,000 in freedom of speech case


The University of Idaho agreed to pay $90,000 to settle a lawsuit that was filed by three Christian students and a professor who were hit with a no-contact order after expressing opposition to same-sex marriage.​
The settlement, disclosed this week, resolves a lawsuit filed by Peter Perlot, Mark Miller, and Ryan Alexander, who are part of the Christian Legal Society, and their faculty adviser Richard Seamon in April after the university issued them a no-contact order for engaging with a law student who questioned why the group required members to maintain that marriage is between one man and one woman.​

The debate about forgiving -- is it just priests that forgive?

Matt 18 informs us that the matter is not confined to priests/pastors/apostles.

Matt 18:
15 “Now if your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that on the testimony of two or three witnesses every matter may be confirmed. 17 And if he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, he is to be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. 18 Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.​


Peter spells it out for us very specifically --

Matt 18: 21
Then Peter came up and said to Him, “Lord, how many times shall my brother sin against me and I still forgive him? Up to seven times?” 22 Jesus *said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy-seven times.​


Jesus makes it clear in Matt 6 - the Lord's prayer

Matt 6:12 "And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors."​

Soteriology and Debate

I was a bit surprised that none of the posts under "Soteriology Debate" were an actual DEBATE about HOW GOD SAVES (Soteriology).
So what the heck, let's pick a fight: ;)

I say God saves people JUST LIKE THIS:
"if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved." - Romans 10:9-10 [ESV]

WHAT WE MUST DO:
  • confess with mouth "Jesus is Lord" (not necessarily verbatim, it isn't an incantation).
  • believe in your heart "God raised him from the dead"

WHAT HAPPENS AS A RESULT:
  • one believes & "is justified"
  • one confesses & "is saved"

That's it. [BOOM!] (mic drop) :)

As told in I Maccabees 2:29

  • Archaeologists have uncovered a cache of 2,200-year-old silver coins near the Dead Sea, which they say is the first physical proof that Jews fled to the Judean Desert during the upheaval and persecution under Hanukkah villain Antiochus IV Epiphanes.

2,200-year-old coin hoard gives hard proof of Book of Maccabees, say archaeologists

The Story of Jesus

Video Talk

Who is Jesus? What were his beginnings? Why did he come to earth?

John 1:1-4,10-14 ESV

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men.”
“He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.”

Philippians 2:5-11 ESV

“Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

If you read in John 1:29-36 you realize that “the Word” that John was speaking of here is Jesus Christ. So, Jesus Christ is the Word of God because he is God, the second person of our triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He was with God in the beginning and he is our creator God. And Jesus, although he was God, left his throne in heaven, and came to earth, was born as a baby to a human mother, conceived of the Holy Spirit. So while he lived on the earth he was both God and man.

Now Jesus Christ was the fulfillment of the prophecies concerning the promised Messiah who was to come, and his purpose in coming was to save mankind from their sins so that they could become children of God. But we don’t become children of God of our own flesh. So we can’t just claim that we believe in Jesus and now all our sins are forgiven and now heaven is our eternal destiny regardless of how we live on the earth. We need to be born of the will of God, and it is God’s will that we die with Christ to sin and that we are raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him (Rom 6:1-23).

What gifts does Jesus want from us in celebration of him?

Luke 9:23-24 ESV

“And he said to all, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it’.”

Romans 12:1-2 ESV

“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”

My birthday is this month and I am going to be 73 years old, Lord willing. Now, when I have a birthday we do not pull out all my old baby pictures so people can ooh and aah over them while they give each other gifts. So, if we are truly celebrating the birth of Christ, should we not celebrate who he is now? Yes, that can include remembrances of his birth and life and death on a cross and resurrection and who he is now in heaven with God the Father and how he sent his Spirit to indwell his followers – Christ living in us.

But we should celebrate everything about him. And in celebration of him and his birth and life and death and resurrection we should give him gifts. And what are the gifts he wants for his birthday? He wants our lives on the altar surrendered to him, forsaking our lives of living for self and in sin, and us walking in obedience to his commands (New Covenant) because we love him. So if you want to celebrate Jesus in a way that he desires and that is honoring to him, then surrender your all to him, leave your lives of sin behind you, and follow him in obedience to his ways from now to eternity.

Mary, Did You Know?

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has come to make you new?
This child that you delivered, will soon deliver you

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy
Is heaven's perfect Lamb?
That sleeping child you're
Holding is the great, I Am

Navy Seal Warns Against Transgendering the Kids

Chris Beck formerly known as Kristen Beck was a Navy Seal who transitioned to female. He became famous and was touted by the LGBTQ crowd as a great example, a hero. Now he's detransitioning back to being a male.

He's now speaking out against transitioning kids. Having lived through the process of transitioning he is an important voice to be heard. He has not said anything derogatory about trans people, but the ideology of the willingness of doctors and psychologists to label a kid transgender and start pumping the.full.of drugs and give them surgeries. He said this.

"Everything that happened to me for the last ten years destroyed my life. I destroyed my life. I’m not a victim. I did this to myself, but I had help.”

“I take full responsibility,” he continued. “I went on CNN and everything else, and that’s why I’m here right now, I’m trying to correct that.

I was used … I was very naive, I was in a really bad way, and I got taken advantage of. I got propagandized. I got used badly by a lot of people who had knowledge way beyond me. They knew what they were doing. I didn’t,” he said during the interview. "

Beck is warning against transitioning the kids. If adults are going through this it's one thing. Like he said he did it to himself. He had help from psychologists who thought they were doing the right thing. This is the insidiousness of the current thought. And there are many adults in this same circumstance. There are many de-teansitioning sites on the web of those who are going through this. It's one thing for adults to do this and take responsibility but it's another thing entirely to do this to kids who are depending on the adults in their lives to do the right thing and help them to make the right decision.

Now we have those who are de-transitioning who are warning against transitioning kids. We even have kids now who want to sue do to parents and doctors transitioning them.

Slow down is the message. Kids should not be transitioned.


Chloe Cole is suing her parents for transition her.


Are we going to learn or are we going to create a generation of kids who are angry and frustrated at society, parents, doctor's etc for creating a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

2 Australian police officers and a bystander murdered by 3 apparent sovereign citizen types in Queensland (who are shot dead by police)

Six dead, including two police officers, after shooting and siege at rural property

Police have shot dead three people after an ambush at a remote property in Queensland’s Western Downs in which two officers and a member of the public were killed, bringing the total number of fatalities to six.

Earlier in the day, four police officers went to the rural property to investigate reports of a missing person, believed to be a former school principal from NSW [and one of the perps, it seems], and were met with a hail of gunfire. Sources likened the scene to an ambush.

Police returned fire, but two officers were critically injured and died at the scene. A member of the public, believed to be a neighbour, who also responded to the gunfire was killed.

Accounts linked to Queensland police shooter active on conspiracy sites

Online accounts sharing the name of one of the trio shot and killed by police at a regional Queensland property, after the fatal shooting of two officers and a neighbour, repeatedly shared views that Port Arthur was a false-flag event to “disarm” Australians.

Bearing the name Gareth Train — who along with wife Stacey owned the Western Downs property on which the “execution-style” killing of policeoccurred on Monday — the accounts had been active in fringe online communities as far back as September 2020.

On Tuesday, one prominent Australian conspiracist and sovereign citizen figure told followers they did not know the circumstances of the Queensland shooting and “frankly I don’t care”.

“Never forget the costumed thugs opened fire [with non-lethal rounds] on my unarmed countrymen at the Shrine of Remembrance last year!” they said, referencing the Melbourne pandemic protest.

Funny thing about the Big Bang Theory

I’m often amused how some at autheists point to the Big Bang Theory as evidence the universe was not created by an intelligent being, aka God.

It’s funny because the creator of the Big Bang Theory was a Christian. The theory was first proposed in 1927 by Georges Lemaître, a Belgian physicist and Roman Catholic priest.

What makes it even funnier is the fact that atheist physicists hate the Big Bang Theory, because they view it as a threat to atheism. To them, evidence that the universe had a beginning contradicts atheism, and so they try to debunk it.

please pray

PLEASE PRAY GOD WOULD GIVE ME THREE MORE TRANSLATORS

I am in need in some Chinese translators to translate English Devotions into Chinese, if you are able or know any who can, please send me a private message if you are able to help or know anyone who can.

Minds which are Stayed on Christ

Isaiah 26:1-4 ESV

“In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
“We have a strong city;
he sets up salvation
as walls and bulwarks.
Open the gates,
that the righteous nation that keeps faith may enter in.
You keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you.
Trust in the Lord forever,
for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.”

The strong city today is the church, the body of Christ. Salvation is her walls and bulwarks, not physical walls of brick and mortar and wood. And the church is comprised of the people of God who by faith in Jesus Christ have been crucified with Christ in death to sin, and who have been raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. They have forsaken their lives of living in sin and for self to follow the Lord Jesus in obedience to his commands.

THEY, the people of God, are the church, the strong city of God. The church is not physical buildings, and not businesses of men being marketed to the world, and she is not church denominations or civic centers or social clubs or places of fun and adventure and entertainment and of secular and worldly activities to bring fun and enjoyment to the people of the world. But this is what many people professing faith in Jesus Christ have turned the gatherings of the church into, which is not of God, not of Christ Jesus.

For the true church, the body of Christ, is universal. She is not bound by physical space and location. And with the use of the internet and texting and telephones, etc., we can gather as the church, the body of Christ, regardless of where we live on the planet earth. We can fellowship together with other Christians across the globe. And we can minister God’s love and grace to one another regardless of where we live on the earth. And we can function in our body parts even on the internet in using the gifts God has given to us.

And the true church is spiritual, not physical, and she is about honoring and glorifying God and obeying her Lord and doing what he says and walking in his ways and truth and in righteousness and holiness. And she is about getting the truth of the gospel of our salvation out to the people of the world so that they can come to genuine walks of faith in Jesus Christ, too. She is not on this earth to entertain the people of the world but to lead them to repentance and to obedient walks of faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord.

And our salvation is not a “get out of jail free card” so we can go to heaven when we die and so we can escape hell. And the gospel is not this “quick fix” so that we can keep on in our sins now guilt free. The gospel of Jesus Christ teaches that we must deny self, die daily with Christ to sin and to self, and that we must now follow our Lord in obedience to his commands (New Covenant). For if we do not turn from our lifestyles of sin to follow Jesus in obedience, we do not have salvation from sin nor eternal life with God.

So, it is only the truly repentant who have turned away from living in sin and who are now following Jesus in obedience to his commands who can enter into this church, this strong city, the body of Christ, which is our spiritual union with Christ. It is only those who keep the faith who will remain in Christ which is required of us for salvation from sin and for eternal life with God. For we must now walk according to the Spirit and no longer according to the flesh if we are to have salvation from sin and eternal life with God.

Now, this is not to say that we will never sin again (see 1 John 2:1-2), but that sin should no longer have mastery over our lives. For the Scriptures are quite clear on this subject. If sin is our habit, our practice, what we obey on a consistent and habitual basis in deliberate rebellion against our Lord, we do not have the hope of salvation from sin nor eternal life with God. But if righteousness, holiness, and obedience to our Lord are what we practice, in the power of God, then we do have salvation and eternal life with God.

And when we are walking in the ways of the Lord as our daily practice, and when we are not being taken captive to obey sin, we have peace with God because our minds are stayed on Him and not on the sinful pleasures of the flesh. Our consciences are clear and we have pure fellowship with our Lord, and there is no better place to be ever! For we are at perfect peace because we have nothing to feel guilty for. It doesn’t mean we are perfect people, but our consciences are clear because we are walking in obedience to Christ.

[Matt 7:21-23; Matt 24:9-14; Lu 9:23-26; Rom 1:18-32; Rom 2:6-8; Rom 6:1-23; Rom 8:1-14,24; Rom 12:1-2; Rom 13:11; 1 Co 6:9-10,19-20; 2 Co 5:10,15,21; 1 Co 1:18; 1 Co 15:1-2; 2 Tim 1:8-9; Heb 9:28; 1 Pet 1:5; Gal 5:16-21; Gal 6:7-8; Eph 2:8-10; Eph 4:17-32; Eph 5:3-6; Col 1:21-23; Col 3:5-17; 1 Pet 2:24; Tit 2:11-14; 1 Jn 1:5-9; 1 Jn 2:3-6,24-25; 1 Jn 3:4-10; Heb 3:6,14-15; Heb 10:23-31; Heb 12:1-2; Rev 21:8,27; Rev 22:14-15]

A Believer’s Prayer

An Original Work / July 31, 2012

With my whole heart, Lord, I pray
To be Yours, and Yours always.
Lead me in Your truth today.
May I love You and obey.
Lead me in Your righteousness.
When I sin, may I confess;
Bow before You when I pray;
Live for You and You always.

Love You, Jesus, You’re my friend.
Life with You will never end.
You are with me through each day,
Giving love and peace always.
You will ne’er abandon me.
From my sin You set me free.
You died on that cruel tree,
So I’d live eternally.

Soon You’re coming back for me;
From this world to set me free;
Live with You eternally.
Oh, what joy that brings to me.
I will walk with You in white;
A pure bride, I’ve been made right
By the blood of Jesus Christ;
Pardoned by His sacrifice.

The Redemption of the Nazarenes

Jeremiah 30:23-24 See what a scorching wind has gone out from the Lord, a sweeping whirlwind, coming down onto the heads of the wicked. The Lord’s anger will not be turned aside, it will accomplish His purposes.
In days to come, you will understand.
Deuteronomy 29:4, Isaiah 35:5, Isaiah 48:6-8

Jeremiah 31:1-40 At that time, I shall be the God of all the families of Israel and they will be My people, a people that have escaped the sword and found favour in the wilderness. From afar God will appear to His people. 2 Thess. 1:10. He loves and cares for them and will build them up again, for a Day will come when the watchmen cry out on the hills of Ephraim: Come, let us go up Zion, unto the Lord our God. Once again, they will be happy and the Land will be fruitful. They will worship God in Jerusalem. Ezekiel 20:34-36

The Lord says: be joyful for Jacob’s sake, sing praises and say- God has saved His people, He has preserved a remnant of Israel. See how He brings them from all parts of the earth, among them the blind and the lame, women and children. A vast company, they come with weeping and prayer, God will comfort and escort them. He will lead them by streams of water, on smooth paths, for He is the Father to Israel and Ephraim is His eldest son. Psalms 107, Ezekiel 34:11-16, Isaiah 62:10-12

Listen to the Word of the Lord, you nations, make it known to people far away. He who scattered Israel, will gather them again and will watch over them as a shepherd watches over his flock. For God has redeemed Jacob [now every true Christian] and delivered them from their enemies. His righteous people will come with great joy into a Land of plenty and peace. Ezekiel 36:8-12, Amos 9:14-15,

Rachel weeps for her children. [Rachel is the mother of Jacob/ Israel] Shed no more tears, for they will leave the nations and return to their own Land. God has disciplined Ephraim, like an unruly bull calf. After Ephraim strayed, he repented and now in shame and remorse; reproaches himself for the sins of his youth. God says: Ephraim is still My dear son, in whom I delight and I still remember him and have compassion for him. Hosea 11:8-9 Set up signs to mark your way, the path for your return. [The dolmens across Europe] Come back virgin Israel to your towns. How long will you wander, My wayward child? Deuteronomy 4:26, Isaiah 63:17-19, Ezekiel 4:4-6, John 7:35
This will happen: a woman will protect a man. Judges 5:7 – a precedent?

The Lord says: When I bring My people back from exile, from all parts of the world, they will live in all the Land and be satisfied. Once more will these words be heard in the Land; God bless you, the home of righteousness, the holy mountain. Ezekiel 39:27

The days are coming, says the Lord, when I will plant Israel and Judah then increase their people and livestock. In the past My intent was to uproot and inflict disaster upon them, now I shall watch over them, to build and plant. Micah 7:11-12, Ezekiel 36:8

It will no longer be said that children will suffer for their parents sins. Only those who sin will be punished for it. Ezekiel 18:20

The days are coming when I shall establish a new covenant with Israel and Judah. It will not be like the one that I made with their forefathers, when I took them out of Egypt, that covenant they broke, though I was patient with them. This will be the new Covenant that I will make with the whole House of Israel, in the latter days; I shall set My Law within them, in their hearts, all of them will know and obey Me. I will forgive and forget their wrongdoing. Ezekiel 37:26, Hebrews 8:6-12

The Lord says: As the sun and stars are set in their courses, as the wind and the sea roars- only if this fixed order changes, only then: could Israel ever cease to be a nation before Me. Micah 7:19-20, Isaiah 14:1-2, Hosea 2:18-23

The days are coming when Jerusalem will be rebuilt in My honour. It will be holy to Me, never again to be demolished. Isaiah 58:12, Micah 7:11, Jeremiah 30:18

A scorching wind, a sweeping whirlwind that will destroy the wicked’ - This is the Lord’s Day of vengeance and wrath, the next prophesied event, the Sixth Seal of Revelation 6:12-17 and Isaiah 30:26a – a massive sunstrike that will affect all the world. Malachi 4:1-3, 2 Peter 3:7

‘God will save His people. At that time…a people will escape the Sword’
– The Lord’s righteous people will be protected on that Day. Isaiah 30:26b, Joel 2:32, Psalms 23:4

‘The Redemption of the Nazarenes’– In Jeremiah 31:6, the word translated ‘watchmen’ is ‘nazar’, meaning to set apart, to consecrate and dedicate for sacred purposes. [ref: Strongs H5144] It is the root word for Nazareth and disciples of Jesus were and still can be, known as Nazarenes. Acts 24:5 So it will be all the righteous Christian believers who will gather and go to live in the Promised Land. Colossians 1:9-20, Psalms 37:29

‘He who scattered Israel, will gather them again. His righteous people, will leave the nations and come, with great joy into a Land of plenty and peace. They will worship their God in Jerusalem’. – This is the great promise of the redemption of all God’s people, that is; all true believing Christians, who will come to live in the new country of Beulah, Isaiah 62:1-5, in peace and prosperity. They will build the 3rd Temple and worship God similar to the ancient days. Zechariah 6:15, Ezekiel 40 to 48. God made unconditional promises to the Patriarchs and their descendants remain mostly scattered around the world. Amos 9:9, Ezekiel 34:5+11-16. They are now ‘a vast company’, who now constitute a high proportion of the population in the Western/Christian nations. Their right to ownership of the holy Land will be proven when the title deed in Jeremiah 32:14 is found. But we are told very clearly in the Bible: those with true faith will share the Blessings promised to Abraham. Galatians 3:6-9 & 26-29, Isaiah 56:1-8, John 10:16

‘It will no longer be said: the children will suffer for their parents sins’. - The sins of the forefathers are paid for by our long exile among the nations. Isaiah 27:7-9, Isaiah 40:1-2

‘the Holy mountain’ – the Temple mount. The 3rd Temple will be built and thank offerings made in it, before the Return of Jesus. Ezekiel chapters 40-48, Zechariah 8:9



The great end times story:

This prophecy from the book of the prophet Jeremiah, tells the story of how God will punish the unrighteous by a fire judgement, then how His righteous people will go to live in all of the holy Land. All who by faith, that believe in God and Jesus will receive salvation. John 3:16-18

He will make a new covenant with them, in order for His people: Nazarene Christians, from every race and language, to fulfil their destiny to be “a light to the nations”, and to spread the gospel of the coming Kingdom of God. This will be carried out by the 144,000 selected in Jerusalem. Revelation 14:1-7 The precedent to this is in Luke 10:1-20. Isaiah 49:6, Isaiah 66:19

God’s people will live in peace and prosperity, in the new country of Beulah, Isaiah 62:1-5, in all of that area promised to Abraham so long ago. Genesis 15:18, Ezekiel 34:24-31, Joel 2:23-27

When they are settled and prosperous, the Lord will motivate a Northern confederation to come and attack Beulah, Ezekiel 38:8, Ezekiel 39:1-2.
They will be totally wiped out by the Lord, Ezekiel 38:21-22, Ezekiel 39:3-5, Joel 2:20. This is in order to display His glory and power to all the nations. Ezekiel 38:23, Ezekiel 39:21

Meanwhile, the rest of the world will slowly recover from the terrible fires and earthquakes of the Day of the Lord’s wrath and they will form a One World Government, initially controlled by ten Presidents, but another will rise to take dictatorial powers. He will make a seven year peace treaty with Beulah, that not all the people agree with. Daniel 9:27, Daniel 11:32, Isaiah 28:14-15

This marks the commencement of the final seven years of this age. At the middle of this time, the World Dictator takes over Beulah, Zech. 14:1-2, Rev elation 13:7, and forcibly sits in the Temple. Daniel 11:31, 2 Thessalonians 2:4

This triggers the 3½ year Great Tribulation, the trumpet and bowl judgements. Those Christians who refused any dealings with the ‘beast’, or his mark, as in Revelation 13, are taken to a place of safety. Revelation 12:14 1260 days later, will come the culmination of this age – the physical Return of Jesus, Zechariah 14:6-11, Rev. 19:11-21.

He will destroy the armies mustered for battle in Armageddon. Revelation 16:16, Revelation 19:19-21, Zechariah 14:3-5 Then, He will reign for 1000 years. Great will be that time!

Our Lady of Guadalupe: 6 Things to Know and Share

I love this day. It my favorite.

Dec. 12 is the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Dec. 12 is the commemoration of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

In the United States, the day is a feast.

Linked to this day is Dec. 9, which is the optional memorial of Juan Diego, to whom she appeared.

Here are 6 things to know and share...



1) Who was Juan Diego?

More formally known as St. Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin, he lived from 1474 to 1548.

According to his biography on the Vatican web site,

Little is known about the life of Juan Diego before his conversion, but tradition and archaelogical and iconographical sources, along with the most important and oldest indigenous document on the event of Guadalupe, "El Nican Mopohua" (written in Náhuatl with Latin characters, 1556, by the Indigenous writer Antonio Valeriano), give some information on the life of the saint and the apparitions.

Juan Diego was born in 1474 with the name "Cuauhtlatoatzin" ("the talking eagle") in Cuautlitlán, today part of Mexico City, Mexico.

Twitter files


The vicious and coordinated attacks by mainstream news figures against independent journalist Matt Taibbi in recent days reinforce an essential point about the American news media: they think we are all drooling idiots. Their response to Taibbi’s release of the Twitter Files, which details the company’s calculated suppression of a major news story in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election, underscores this exceedingly low estimation of its audience.​
Outlets like MSNBC and the New York Times seem to hope the American public is ignorant of the fact that they got every aspect of the Hunter Biden laptop story wrong from the start. While real journalists tenaciously reported the facts, such as the New York Post’s Miranda Devine , a disinformation machine comprised of Biden campaign officials, intelligence officials, liberal journalists, and Twitter higher-ups (with the omission of former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who was strangely left out of the loop) acted in brazen coordination to suppress the story.​
