On the Birth of New US Political Parties

Yeah, I find myself between parties at the moment.

I would say that I am a paleo-libertarian, but hesitant to embrace the label since a lot of them seem too cozy with anti-Semites.
I guess the Libertarian bug has never bitten me, paleo or otherwise. My tendencies go back to the old Minnesota Farmer-Labor Party which then merged with the Minnesota Democrats to form a party that had no exact corollary outside of Minnesota. Think Hubert Humphrey. Except for the name it is extinct even in Minnesota.

I am trying on the American Solidarity Party for size. The fit seems OK for me. But they really do need to launch and it looks like they may be stuck at 1% this year if they're lucky. So we get Biden ... woops ... Kamala or The Donald. What a lousy outcome to look forward to with better than 75% not really liking either candidate all that much. It SHOULD be a landslide for a third party candidate but it won't even be in double digits.

What do you think about AI and evangelism

That's good ... always provide the corresponding bible verses that support what you are putting forth regardless where it comes from. It's ok to include some explanation narrative but the verses themselves must be included/referenced.
Correct, all of the devotionals made with the assistance of AI that are on here have verses referenced, and included in full. Also, the last paragraph or two are typically written by myself, without AI, as the last paragraph(s) cover my life experiences, and how that experience ties in with the verses. So, around 20% of the devotional is written by myself, sometimes more, sometimes less.

This is the typical format.

In vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men...

Peace in Christ.

We must come out from among the churches of fleshly-minded men where they worship God in vain as they are teaching for doctrines the commandments of men (their church handwritings of ordinances/dogmas). They prioritize their commandments over God's which are written upon our hearts and minds to keep and serve.

Mar 7:6-8 KJV
(6) He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

(7) Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

They lay aside the commandment of God in order to hold the “tradition”…that is, the transmission…of men. The handwriting is the “transmission” of men handed down from one generation to another.

(8) For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

We are His offspring….and not the other way around. We do not worship Him by our church handwritings of ordinances….which are “graven by and art and man’s device/deliberation.” He is not the product of our own hands...our own church handwritings.

Act 17:28-29 KJV
(28) For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
(29) Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.

Yet, the churches of men who are doing such things (keeping and serving the works of their church scribes....the "craftsman") have changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an IMAGE (a handwriting of ordinances) which are made like the outside nations’ documents (their governmental “constitutions”, by-laws, statutes of men, etc).

The men of the outside world/nations that do not have the Spirit of God are like the beasts: birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things. They keep and serve their documents that they use to govern and judge themselves rather than have God govern and judge them. We must not copy them in doing these things....making church documents that are patterned after their behavior...their documents.

Rom 1:22-25 KJV
(22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

(23) And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

God gave up those who are keeping and serving their church handwritings of ordinances…the image… to uncleanness….and they dishonor their own mortal bodies between themselves in the gatherings of their “churches”. We become “one flesh” with them when we sit together with them as they worship their “images”.

We are unclean when we sit together with them. We must come out from among them who are worshipping and serving the “creature”…that is, the ordinance…more than the Creator.

(24) Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
(25) Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

They change the glory of the immortal/undecaying (through continued existence) God.

We are to inherit “eternal life”….an age-lasting life…in this mortal body. As His people, we are to display the glory of God by never mortally dying. We are to show forth His salvation in this dark and dying world by continuing to mortally live and never dying.

But instead, the churches of fleshly-minded men have changed that glory for “images”…..their handwriting of ordinances…to keep and serve.

Their handwritings are like a “calf” in “Horeb” (meaning "desolation"). The church handwriting of ordinances is the “calf”…..the abomination of “desolation/Horeb”. They worship the “molten image” …the calf….more than they do God.

Psa 106:19-20 KJV
(19) They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.

The “ox” eats “grass”…that is, their mortal flesh (“grass”). They mortally perish for doing these things.

(20) Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

All mortal flesh is as grass. When we keep and serve the commandments of men, we mortally perish. We are dead to the rudiments of the world....their handwritings...their documents....with Christ. Why go and be subject to church ordinances which are patterned after the world's documents?

Col 2:20-23 KJV
(20) Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,

(21) (Touch not; taste not; handle not;

We PERISH mortally by the using of the handwritings of church ordinances.

(22) Which all are to perish with the using) after the commandments and doctrines of men?

They do absolutely NOTHING to save our mortal flesh. They are empty and do not profit our mortal bodies.

(23) Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

But when we do the word of the Lord, we ENDURE into the age….having an age-lasting life.

1Pe 1:23-25 KJV
(23) Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
(24) For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

(25) But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

He who does the will of God ABIDES here in this earth mortally into the age (having an age-lasting life).

1Jn 2:17 KJV
(17) And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Those who serve their handwritings of ordinances have changed their glory for that which does not profit as their teachings and commandments of men do not do anything to save their mortal flesh. Their writings do not hold any "water"....no living water....no living words of life and spirit. Yet they hew out their own handwritings which are empty and do not have living water in them.

Jer 2:11-14 KJV
(11) Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
(12) Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD.
(13) For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

(14) Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled?
Sounds as through you are against church doctrines, denominationalism, and the gathing of religious monies.

Extreme Offense at Paris Olympics

Well they said the put trust in their artistic director. Well that's their big mistake right there! In this day and age you should know what that can mean with an extreme liberal individual. Future Olympic host cities better take notice. Do you want to have your Games to be well thought of from start to finish? YES nor NO. If you don't care fine...have your big party and have half the people around the world watching it. As for me I think I'll just stay watching national sports events this year.

Gopherwood...Only found in North America.

Maybe the Mormons were right about the Holy land being in N.A.
Gophers are only found in Americas, making the Redwood #1 suspect in aiding in ark.

View attachment 352338
I think that it's good that you're looking into things like this. I want to caution you to study the Bible, as its own Truth, before looking into other ideas.

As for the wood, as I understand things from a simple google-type search, the Hebrew word used that was translated "gopher" was actually something else. It's the letters, "g-f-r" with no "ph" in the word. So, no American gophers involved.

Some think that the wood was teak, because it was common to the area and suitable for the purpose... IDK.

Obama Endorses Harris.

It took 6 days but Obama finally endorsed Harris. I don't think the Obamas liked Harris very much. They wanted someone else. But they finally did in an obviously staged awkward phone call.

I wonder what they are getting in return. Could it be they get their guy in the Vice-President role?

The democratic machine made the decision to install Harris ... rather than allowing democratic voters to vote for the nominee of their choice.
Obamas were/are in a position of no choice as well.

What do you think about the Alpha Course?

FUndamentalist when it comes to protestant christianity, they can often be more or less modern like the some of the liberals they disagree with. Its a term that yes, anyone who believes the Bible can be unfairly branded with nowadays. Its really the extreme ends of fundamentalism that are the problems, some groups become personality cults as you say. ALthough I mentioned a book by MacArthur, I wonder if even his church is not immune at times from the problem of the personality cult. I don't think he would want to encourage it though.

Why were the books of Maccabees rejected by Jewish scholars?

I've always wondered why other writings were omitted and who decided it. We label some as gnostic or mystical, like the gospel of Thomas wasn't he a disciple?

The Great Olympic Rainbow Delusion

In the Septuagint, there is a record of the OT archetype of Antichrist ( Antiochus IV )in 168 B.C making an edict to defile God’s people. One of the means he used was forcing them “celebrate” (in today's terms) the queer gender god Dionysus.
Sound familiar?

This helps give a greater definition to the term abomination of desolation (Matthew 24). Today's rainbow pride movement and all its oppression, foreshadowed in the biblical writings, is a sign of a future final abomination of desolation, and a Rainbow Antichrist.

The Kingdom Within, Aka (The Innerverse)

The secret to the instantaneous moment called NOW,
Is the secret to Singularity, the Universe, and Time.


The instantaneous moment called NOW is by far the most important element of the Universe to understand in order to capture it.
Past and future moments do not technically exist. Only the instantaneous moment does.

Many people, including myself are defined by past moments.
The Past has taught us our names, how to read, how to write etc.
All these things that we choose to identify ourselves with, are all from the past.
Yet all of those defining moments, were made in the moment of NOW.

A moment which is obscured, because of the illusions of the past.

Without the definition of the past, we have 0 identity, in the moment. which is the idea.

For 0 identity is your "forever" baseline.
With 0 identity, you become the epitome of the nobody.
When you are at your baseline,
You become multi directional.


The catch is, that when we are singular, there is no past.
For the past is and was only a reflection.
In the instantaneous moment called NOW,
There is no reflection.
Only after it has occured, can it be reflected on.

This "reflection" takes much time.
This time defers away from the instantaneous moment called NOW.
Sometimes looking us in a permanent state of reflection, living an entire life in the past.

This of course is insane for a life lived merely on lagged out reflections, is not the intent.
Especially when the moment was there all along for us to seize it.

Indeed a tricky capture, yet when you understand what the beast really is and how it moves,
You can capture it whenever you wish.

This is called being in control of the moment.

Behind the instantaneous moment of NOW is perpetual power,
It will never end.
Therefore capturing it, will make you understand the eternal things.

Outside the instantaneous moment of NOW. there is pure nothing.

Pure nothing exists a pure white expelling light.
Not a good place to be, despite what some think.

Real light is within you and the instantaneous moment called NOW.
It is not the light you see with your eyes.
The light you see with your eyes is forever expelling,
Thus it means it's empty and purely nothing!
It's deception at its finest.


Since we are all in the past,
And are all severely lagged by reflection,
In order to capture the moment of NOW, was must lead our awareness.
So that lag and lead can balance out.
The result,
The instantaneous moment called NOW.

So how far in the future do we have to lead our awareness?
The answer lies in deja vu.

For in dejavu, we are given the awareness that the moment has already happened.
Typically deja vu is linked to dreams, which occur the night before.

So,
From the time of sleep (6-8 hours)
From time awake to deja vu occurring (2-4hours)
Taking the median average between the too,
And we are looking at easily a minimum 6 hour lag.


Meaning, the instantaneous moment of now,
Actually happened at least 6 hours ago,
And that it has taken us 6 hours to finally accept it.
With this in mind, we lead our awareness 6 hours min into the future...
If you do this right, you will begin to feel deja vu instantly and you will have instantaneous moment.
From that moment, you can be naturally aware of other things.
Such as, how are you to make a decision, 6 hours before you even knew you made a decision....
For the answer is obvious NOW.

RNC Opens with Prayer to Ancient Demon

JD Vance acknowledges white supremacist attacks against wife Usha

'acknowledges' seems an appropriate verb here. Ordinary non-Ted Cruz-type husbands might have some choice words for someone saying such gross nonsense about his wife.

“Look, I love my wife so much. I love her because she’s who she is,” he told host Megyn Kelly on her show Friday. “Obviously, she’s not a white person, and we’ve been accused, attacked by some white supremacists over that. But I just, I love Usha.”

“She’s such a good mom,” Vance added of his wife. “She’s such a brilliant lawyer, and I’m so proud of her. But yes, her experience has given me some perspective on the way in which it’s really hard for working families in this country.”

Vance has not publicly condemned the attacks.
Well, if I was Vance, and if I truly loved my wife (am single here), I would publicly rebuke those who made the racist comments to my wife.

Life After Death With C.S. Lewis

The C.S. Lewis phenomenon did not end with his death

The worldwide cultural impact of C.S. Lewis during his own lifetime was phenomenal. This was evident in his being featured on the cover of Time Magazine in September 1947, an accolade which was only bestowed on those who had achieved global celebrity. At this time, he was known as a popular apologist who used his great imaginative gifts to defend the Christian creed. By 1947, he had written and published bestsellers, which included The Problem of Pain(1940), The Case for Christianity (1942) and Broadcast Talks (also 1942), which would late be expanded, repackaged and republished as Mere Christianity (1952). In addition to these works of nonfiction, Lewis also popularized and defended Christianity in his fictional works, such as The Screwtape Letters (1942), The Great Divorce (1945) and in three theological thrillers in the guise of science fiction, known collectively as The Space Trilogy (1938-45).

If anything, Lewis would become even more popular in the years following his making the cover of Time Magazine than he had been in the years before. In 1947, he had not even begun writing the seven delightful children’s books, known collectively as The Chronicles of Narnia, which would prove to be some of the bestselling children’s books of all time. The first of these, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (1950), is regularly listed in the top 10 bestselling works of literature ever written.

‘ Spiritual Pilgrimage’: Photographer’s Quest to Capture Every Cathedral and Basilica in the US

As Benedict XVI told priests and seminarians at the cathedral in Bressanone, Italy, in August 2008, ‘on the basis of the cathedral’s beauty, we succeed in visibly proclaiming God, Christ and all his mysteries.’

Photographing all 193 cathedrals and 93 basilicas across the United States seems like a daunting project for anyone. But 10 years ago, Andrew Masi determined to visit and photograph each one — from east to west, north to south.

On Sunday, July 21, Masi headed back to the Cathedral-Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark, New Jersey, where his idea became firmly planted. He considered this visit a “homecoming” to the place where he decided to begin this quest as a “spiritual pilgrimage to visit and photograph all the Catholic cathedrals and basilicas in the United States,” he told the Register. “I just celebrated my 10th anniversary this past April.”

Masi’s idea started when he was at the Newark basilica on Easter Sunday in 2014. Waiting for Mass to begin, he was “gazing around the majestic cathedral and taking in everything from the architecture to the large, life-sized Stations of the Cross, to the beautiful stained-glass windows, to the magnificent pipe organ,” he recalled.

He kept thinking and wondering “if all the cathedrals in the United States look just as gorgeous, big and amazing as this one. That’s when the idea came into my head to see for myself and to photograph them.”

Revelation 13:14 - They should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live..

Peace in Christ.

The “image” in Revelation 13:14-15 is the “handwriting of ordinances” (statements of faith, church constitutions, by-laws, statutes, creeds, etc) that the church scribes have written for us to keep and serve rather than the keeping and serving of God’s laws which are written upon our hearts.

The earthly-minded false prophet comes to preach “another jesus”….who is the first beast. He preaches deceptively to them that “dwell on the earth”….that is, people who are focusing on earthly things more than they are focusing on the things above. Colossians 3:2 .

They are easily deceived because their focus is on earthly things. The “thieves”….the false prophets… break in and steal when one sets his heart upon earthly things….”dwelling on the earth.” Matthew 6:19-21 .

The false prophet says that they who dwell upon the earth should make or DO an image to the beast (the false Christ). Again, this “image” is the handwriting of their church ordinances that they want you to willingly and subserviently keep and worship.

The “deadly wound “ of the first beast is HEALED.

Revelation 13:12. What is being said here is that the “daily” sacrifice of the Lord (the “Lamb slain”) has ceased in those who follow after the first beast….the “another jesus” who is the opposite of the Lamb slain. They have ceased dying to the sin. They have ceased mortifying/slaying the sin with the sword of the Spirit that was given to them. Romans 8:13 . Colossians 3:5 .

Rev 13:14-16 KJV
(14) And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

When the “daily” sacrifice of the Lamb slain is ceased (the deadly wound is healed), they set up the “image” for you to keep and serve by “killing” others who do not worship the church handwriting of ordinances. That is, they use their breath/spirit to judge others who do not keep their church handwritings. Judging others is not having love for them.

They become judge, jury and executioner of others in their words and not literally “killing” others. Whoever hates their brother is a murderer….and no murder has an age-lasting life dwelling in them. 1 John 3:15 .

(15) And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

And so they become slaves to the sin…judging others via their handwritings (the “image”) as they continue to practice it by their works or in their thoughts.

(16) And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

They changed the glory of God into an “image” made like corruptible man….as the outside world have their handwritings (such as “constitutions”) that they use to self govern and judge themselves with. They have placed these images …their patterned-after-the-world’s handwritings…in their places of worship….where God’s name is named.

Rom 1:22-25 KJV
(22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

(23) And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

This has made them unclean. God has “gave them up” ….as His glory has departed from them…to their uncleanness. They dishonor their mortal bodies between themselves. They are all mortally perishing without having an age-lasting life that is promised to those who truly serve and worship Him from the heart.

(24) Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

(25) Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

This “image”…the church scribes’ handwritings that are established/standing in every “church” gathering…stands where His name is being named. This causes His glory to depart. It brings desolation. That house is made desolate as the glory of God has departed from it because of the abomination...the standing church handwriting of ordinances.

Mat 24:15-16 KJV
(15) When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet,
stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand)
(16) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

The “idols” are the “graven images” of the church scribes’ handwritings of ordinances. They should not be “standing” in His sanctuary…the holy place… where we come together to worship Him. They are being bowed down to by those who have them standing/established in the holy place.

Lev 26:1-3 KJV
(1) Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.

(2) Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.

Instead of worshipping the “image” of the church handwritings of ordinances, we are to walk in HIS statutes and keep HIS commandments and DO them. His laws are written in our hearts. His kingdom/government is within us.

(3) If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;

The “graven images” of the nations are not to be brought into our “house”…the church gathering….the holy place. They should be burned with fire from our existence. We should not desire to have man's handwritings within our places of worship.....or else we are tripped up/trapped by them and fall into the grave. They are an abomination to the LORD our God...that is, our only Living Judge.

The outside nations use them to self-govern and judge themselves. They are “other gods”…that is, other judges… rather than be serving THE Living Judge. The outside nations are not in the government/kingdom of God like we are. We do not need external handwritings like them to self-govern and to judge ourselves and others with.

Deu 7:25-26 KJV
(25) The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.


Do not bring the abomination....man's handwriting of ordinances...into our house lest we be a cursed thing like it. "cursed" = chêrem - something devoted to destruction. We are destroyed when we bring them into our places of worship.

(26) Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.

Do not trust in the lying words of the false prophets. They praise their handwritings…. “burning incense unto the Baal” that they have willfully submitted to. They walk after other gods…other judges…whom we know not (as their external handwritings is not written within our hearts by Him internally).

Jer 7:8-11 KJV
(8) Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.

(9) Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;

These things should not be “standing in the holy place”….this house which is called by His name. We are not delivered to do all of these abominations.

(10) And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?
(11) Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD.

The false prophets say to us the “temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD”. Lo here, Lo there. Do not believe them.

Jer 7:3-7 KJV
(3) Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
(4) Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these.
(5) For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;

(6) If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:

If we completely amend our ways and our doings then He will cause us to dwell in this place…in this earth “forever and ever”. We shall not mortally die but shall have an age-lasting life into this age and the next where we shall have put on immortality…never seeing death. We shall never die and will inherit this earth that we are living in.

(7) Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever

Rev 13:6-10 2nd Part man of sin

The man of sin blasphemies God

Rev 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

Rev 13:6 And he (man of sin) opened his mouth (authoritative participation Rev 13:5) in blasphemy (hate sayings) against God, to blaspheme his (God) name (character Mat 12:31,32 Dan 7:25 Dan 11:36), and his (God) tabernacle (2Cor 5:1 Rev 21:22), and them (righteous individuals) that dwell in heaven (Rev 5:11).

Amo 9:11 KJV - In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:

2Co 5:1 KJV - For we know that if our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were dissolved, we (Christians) have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

Engineering Student Heeds Call for a Chihuahua in Need – Designing Tiny Helmets for ‘Niblet’

When the call went out seeking assistance for a puppy requiring special care, a faculty member at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and a recent graduate were “all in.”

A month ago, a tiny Chihuahua weighing just 2.5-pounds captured the hearts of animal shelter staff even before it became clear that the dog had a special medical condition that required special attention: Niblet had a soft spot on the top of his head—about one and a half centimeters in diameter—indicating that his skull had not fully fused.

The Humane Educational Society (HES) called mechanical engineering professor Trevor Elliott for help, with an unusual request.

2nd Seal

The Second Seal

Rev 6:3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast (Rev 4:6 {Ezek 1:5-28}) say, Come and see.

Rev 6:3 And when he (Jesus) had opened (Authoritative control) the (2nd) second seal, I (John) heard the (2nd) second beast (Seraphim) say (authoritative participation), come (command) and see (observe).

Lucifer gives power (Rev 13:1,2) to the man of sin (sitting) established on the red horse. This power given is to take peace from the earth and that they are living on the earth should kill one another (this does not say by world war). Now this brings us to the fourth part of Rev 6:4 and there was given (by Lucifer) unto him (the man of sin) a great sword (this is where Matt 10:21 & 34 enter the picture, the Great Sword is the conflict that takes place between the unsaved and those holding the Word of God, and the testimony of Jesus.

Mat 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

Matt 10:21 is the Great Sword he sends, said 1900 years ago but meant for the last days.

Mat 10:21 And the brother *shall deliver up (to authorities) the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall revolt against their parents and cause them to be put to death (for their testimony).

*This is the Great Sword in action, causing division between those holding the word of God, and the Testimony of Jesus. And those that are reprobate and under denominational teaching. I think this starts during the gap period, following resurrection! Furthermore, this division brought about by the Great Sword between the unsaved and the saved is the same thing the homosexual principles establish in our family units. Which of course destroys the families, this destruction uses the same principles as the doctrine of Jezebel.

The Red Horse (2nd division of a Four-Part War)

Rev 6:4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

Rev 6:4 And there went out another(2nd) horse that was red (bloody battle): and power was given (by Lucifer) to him (man of sin) that sat (established restricted authority) there on to take peace from the (gap) earth, and that they (individuals) should kill one another: and there was given (by Lucifer) unto him (man of sin) a great sword (restricted military authority). Rev 13:3

And there went out another(2nd) horse that was red (bloody civil, military, and political battle): and power was given (by Lucifer) to him (man of sin) that sat (established restricted authority) there on to take peace from the (gap) earth,

The Items Lucifer Gives the Man of Sin (Hos 7:2 10:15 Dan 11:36-39 Mal 2:11 Mica 5:1} Zech 11:15 Nah 1:11 Hos 12:7 Hab 2:5)

Rev 6:2 a crown was given unto him:
Rev 6:4 given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth,
Rev 6:8a power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth,
Rev 6:8b to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the (five) beasts of the earth.
Rev 13:5a given unto him a mouth.
speaking remarkable things and blasphemies.
Rev 13:5b power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
Rev 13:7a given him to make war with
the saints to overcome them:
Rev 13:7b power given him overall.
kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

and that they (children of Lucifer against Saints) should kill one another: and there was given (by Lucifer) unto him (man of sin) a great sword (civil, military, and political authority)

Rev 6:10b How long, O Lord, holy and true (Rev 19:2a), do you not judge and avenge our blood on them (Children of Lucifer) that dwell on the earth?

Rev 6:8d power (authority) was given unto them (Holocaust and Underworld) over the fourth part of the earth, (Rev 6:4b) to kill (slaughter) with sword (civil battle), and with hunger (starvation and concentration camps), and with death (holocaust), and with the beasts (commanders following the man of sin) of the earth (individuals accepting Jesus Rev 6:9-12 {Rev 7:9,10}).
I don't really claim to understand the 4 horsemen. I think they are angels who operate in a NT context and do things that at one time applied only with Israel in mind.

So here we have the world opening up to the Gospel, while Israel steps back. And the same thing happens in the NT world that happened in the OT world when Israel was in play. God judges the world for resisting and rejecting the Gospel.

Quite simply, these 4 horsemen are angelic judgments that show God's displeasure with how the world is receiving His Gospel. They involve war and plagues of various kinds. And in the process the Church is persecuted, as the final day of Wrath is awaited.

Look what I ran across…

Not a great deal; about a thousand years ago, I read her short story The Pictures of Las Cruces, which is set in Mexico. Other than that, about all I know of her is that she was a devout Catholic, came from the South, and her father was killed in 1861 at the First Battle of Bull Run. Pretty sketchy, I know. :)
Well I’m pretty excited about starting it. While scanning it, I saw there was a scene in there where someone was speaking oh how awful it was to have a devotion to Mary. As we both know, back in that time Catholicism was considered horrific. It should be interesting to see where the story goes.

From celebrating ‘Mass’ at 4 to entering the seminary at 13: Emilio’s inspiring vocation

Questions on Intercession of the Saints

There were 250 bishops from all over at the Council. They're not going to be influenced by a group of women marching.

That's fine, and I recommend you stick to primary sources. The sources you have referred me to seem to have an agenda.

Mary was highly revered in the Church, whether she was considered as Christotokos or Theotokos, but the Council was not about Mary, it was about Christ. The heresy of Nestorius was that he divided Christ into two persons, one human and one divine. The orthodox teaching is that Chist is a single person who is both human and divine, and that is why the Council declared Mary to be Theotokos, the birth giver of God, because Christ was both God and man from the moment Mary conceived in her womb. He did not become God at a later stage. The mistake Protestants make is in thinking the title "Theotokos" was elevating Mary when it is actually defending the fact that Jesus is both God and Man. It is entirely Christological and not about Mary at all.
Well, primary sources are what I am investigating now, but I have learned it's better to begin at the beginning than to bounce around. I got distracted by Mary and the Eucharist when I was taking classes at the Catholic Church. Not their fault. I was trying to figure out if God wanted me to convert, and those were the stumbling blocks. I also learned about the early church fathers there and finally figured out I should begin at the beginning and make a thorough study of the Apostolic church. It's going to take awhile, but for me, it's quite important.

I just haven't gotten to 400AD yet, but when I do, I will study it just as thoroughly.
