Day 2 in NYC with food aims kiboshed by authentic Jewish bagel

Sure enough, I wasn't meant to have a stress-free trip. Something big went wrong this morning, as in my front tooth is loose!

For breakfast, I went to the famous Greenwich Village bagel shop on 6th Avenue, Murray's Bagels, and ordered their poppy seed bagel toasted with scallion cream cheese. I was two-thirds of the way through it when I felt a weird, uncomfortable sensation coming from my front tooth. 

I was hoping it was just a result of a poppy seed somehow getting lodged in an unusual way between my two front teeth (which have veneers on them by necessity after I killed them in the early '90s falling in Chicago running home in the rain after being at a Cubs game and tripping over an ornamental border fence protecting a tree on the sidewalk only doors away from my apartment building in the Lakeview).

I instinctively started feeling around for what could be wrong and my one front tooth was loose!

I didn't immediately realize it could be my veneer coming unglued by eating the super-big and chewy-textured authentic NY bagel. I still don't know for sure it's just the veneer, but the tooth has only gotten looser and looser as the day's gone on.

You talk about putting a damper on my eating aims for the trip--something I've only thought about constantly!

I won't even be able to have a slice of NY-style pizza now, let alone the lobster roll sandwich I fully intended on devouring with abandon. Good thing I already told myself I wasn't paying any sky-high prices for a steak at any of the famous steakhouses I used to love here . . . 

Today I remembered the reasons I miss being in NYC as well as the reasons I was ready to leave at the end of 2007 when I took a journalist friend (from the Naperville Sun) up on her offer to live in a trailer on her sprawling backwoods property five miles outside of little, tiny Arab, Alabama.

Well, I've got a lot more tidbits collected today but, as with yesterday at this time, I am super-worn out from all the walking--today I went all the way down to Wall Street and then to the waterfront in Battery Park where they are totally renovating the park itself for tourists to gawk at the Statue of Lucifer, er, Liberty.

Oh, and by the way, as the gigantic neon sign advertises in Times Square (very near the spot where the ball drop happens on New Year's Eve), "ONLY 10 DAYS UNTIL HALLOWEEN." Yesterday it was, "ONLY 11 DAYS UNTIL HALLOWEEN." Rats, I won't be here for that (NOT!).

Here's another old post about France, this one from 2024 regarding the closing ceremonies of the Paris Olympics. The commentary is from a Christian YouTuber:

Well, folks, they've done it again on the 33rd Olympics this year. The closing ceremony was just unbelievable, how blatantly obvious this is becoming.

They pretend that this is representing something historical to do with the Olympics and then they obscure what the true intent is behind it.

The pentagram shape unfolds in the light and coming right down through the middle of it, you see that little golden person right there? Here he comes down through the middle of the pentagram, coming down from the sky.

You can see (this artwork on the stage) represents the nations of the world in kind of like a transhumanist design; almost like a metallic design. And a strange sun-like symbolism (similar to the Jesuits' IHS logo) in the middle.

You know, they worship the sun god Apollo and that comes into this. You can see the sun symbolism in the medals they gave out. It's all about the false light of Lucifer coming and transforming the old world, the old earth, into this Age of Aquarius and the age of false enlightenment.

So the ritual unfolds and you see this orchestra and they play this very moving, very dark, very atmospheric music, so the stadium becomes very atmospheric and the lights become dark. It turns to night and you'll see that the map of the world goes to black. It goes dark. The world plunges into darkness in the stadium.

The outlines of all the continents of the world begin to flash around. You see Africa and different parts of the different continents of the world. The smoke begins to come in, looking a bit like ash. The earth plunges into terrible times and the ashes of the old world rise above the continents.

Clearly this is after some time of chaos, in this artistic depiction. The earth is in darkness in a very bad way, and you see the ashes of the old world are rising up, like the phoenix would rise above the ashes of the old world.

Of course, the world is crying out in this apocalyptic state for a solution; for a Savior. And this is their agenda, folks, because this Savior isn't Jesus Christ of the Bible. Their savior that comes on the scene in this is a false savior, as you might guess.

Suddenly, a great light shines upon the stadium and the whole stadium lights up and earth beneath lights up and you see the rays of light across the top of the stadium like sun rays, or a halo. And right in the center you see a golden figure that supposedly comes to save the earth.

Honestly, the symbolism here just starts to get absolutely crazy. Down through the center of the pentagram comes this figure adorned in gold. It's a very strange-looking figure. You've got gold and you've got sun-ray type fiery things.

It could be a representation of Prometheus, this false god that brings fire down from heaven. That false enlightenment. The fire coming down from heaven like an extraterrestrial coming to save the earth.

Just as a side note, the designer of this, the guy that was behind designing these things, he calls it "the golden voyager" coming down from outer space to bring the supposed Golden Age. He calls it the "Spirit of the Bastille," which is based on this statue and, with the statue in France, is "the Spirit of Freedom," and that also links to the French Revolution.

Again, a revolutionary undertone here. The people rising up, self-worship stuff, humanity rising up to defy God and bring about a revolution against God. That's what these undertones are. A revolt against the old world and of bringing in the new age of Lucifer.

And you see here, and you might notice as he comes down from heaven into the stadium, coming down into this old world that is in ashes, this false Messiah, this false Christ, supposedly sacrificing himself as a copy of Jesus coming down from heaven.

So were looking down at a scene that is starting to "bring order out of chaos." He's walking around the ashes of the old world and he's supposedly coming to save it, but it's not Jesus Christ; it's the Antichrist. It's Luciferian.

As he walks around, he's supposedly bringing about this new creation, he starts manipulating as he points down toward these waters and he's actually pointing at it and it's like these lying signs and wonders where he's manipulating it with spiritual powers.

And these three come together and hoist up the Greek flag and it's a like a false trinity of these three satanic figures. Greece is historically full of worship of false gods, so it's no surprise that it's used in a very satanic ritual.

He hoists up the flag and everything begins to change like into a new creation, creating this new Luciferian world. Of course, the map of the world now begins to light up and flash and you see this ripples in the countries and in the continents. There's ripples through the earth like it's bringing about a new creation. It's like bringing about a new Genesis; literally a re-creation of the world by extraterrestrial beings that are Luciferian in nature.

And then what begins to rise up from underneath is the goddess Nike. Of course, Nike was the false goddess of victory; the Greek one. So there's a lot of admiration of false gods, fallen beings. You've got the wings on there like a white angel. So it's like claiming a false victory; it's a revolution against God and his naturally created order. It's declaring victory over God like in the Tower of Babel.

1st day back in NYC in the books

I made it to New York without any glitches and have had a jam-packed day looking at all the sights and how much has changed over the years--some of it quite dramatically.

The biggest thing I can say for starters is there are just unbelievable amounts of people walking the streets of Midtown. I mean, it was like Mardi Gras on Bourbon Street.

Even in the middle of the afternoon on what should, from all I can figure, be a typical Tuesday, the major avenues and many side streets were just jammed with pedestrians! It's like nothing I could have ever imagined when I lived here from 1999-2007.

By the way, I hardly saw any homeless people!! This goes against what we're told in the media, at least from the stuff I watch and read. There were actually less homeless people than when I lived here!

You can tell lots of the people are tourists, many of whom are from around the world judging by the accents and foreign tongues I heard, either through people talking to their companions/family members or conversing on their cell phones.

I kept a writer's pad on me at all times today and have jotted down many little tidbits, insights, observations and memories, but for now time is getting away from me as it's almost midnight here.

I plan to get up super-early and go down to Greenwich Village, SOHO, Tribeca, Little Italy and Chinatown for my second day. I'm staying at the Sheraton Times Square at 51st and 7th Avenue rather than imposing on my couple of friends I plan to see, who didn't even know I was coming to town until yesterday.

Will be sure to update again tomorrow--I've got material/fodder coming, I'm happy to report.

Here's a post about France from late last year:

At the end of November, a government-sponsored and taxpayer-funded "Gate of Darkness" parade was held for Baal in Toulouse, France.

"This was no street festival. This was a public occult invocation dressed as art –and Brigitte Macron was in the VIP section wearing a custom black-and-crimson gown embroidered with the same serpentine Lilith sigil that adorned the main float," reports a Christian news site.

"The towering biomechanical hybrids were straight out of Genesis 6 Nephilim imagery, while the Minotaur float re-enacted offerings to the child-eating god Ba’al/Moloch. The centerpiece: a red-eyed 'Lilith' figure worshipped by black-robed performers (dancers in Baphomet-style horned headdresses) chanting reversed Latin."

Put on by France’s Ministry of Culture, the “Gate of Darkness” parade included:
• A 15-foot horned Minotaur resembling Ba’al/Moloch
• Upside-down crosses and pentagram structures
• A mock “sacrificial labyrinth” featuring a goat-masked priest offering a child mannequin to the giant bull-headed mechanical float

“French media outlets, including Le Parisien, reported that Brigitte Macron was present in the VIP section wearing designer attire inspired by the Lilith motif, confirming official involvement at the highest levels,” reports a Christian watchdog website.

“The parade’s towering biomechanical giants closely resembled traditional depictions of the Nephilim hybrid creatures described in both Scripture and early Jewish writings. The inclusion of Lilith—a figure associated with spiritual rebellion, forbidden unions, and demonic offspring—intensified concerns.

From another Christian website: “The Minotaur float, complete with a sacrificial labyrinth stage where performers in goat masks symbolically offered a child mannequin to the bull-headed god, was a direct nod to Ba’al and Moloch worship, the very deities the ancient Israelites were warned never to tolerate.

"And leading the esoteric charge? None other than a towering depiction of Lilith – Adam’s apocryphal first wife turned mother of demons – paraded as a 'liberated goddess' while flanked by transgender-coded dancers in Baphomet-style horned headdresses.

"Which brings us to the Macrons, who were in attendance at the mega-ritual funded by Emmanuel’s government.”

Just this past Wednesday night we were reminded in the evening Bible study at my church that “the chief enemy we face isn’t all this stuff the politicians or Christian nationalists talk about. The chief enemy in that Bible is MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT.”

From the study:

Isaiah 13: [18] Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
[19] And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

The people who come in and destroy Babylon are going to give back to them just what they’ve been given. You can look at what the social religious cultural attitude of Sodom was and know Babylon is going to be destroyed exactly the same way.

[20] It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.

Note, it’s never going to be inhabited by humans again. But look what will happen:

[21] But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.
[22] And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.

What’s going to inhabit that territory after the destruction—it’s going to become a place occupied by Revelation 18:2:

[2] And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

He’s talking about the city and it’s 'become the habitation of devils and the hold of every foul spirit.'

She’s going to be a 'glory of kingdoms' and then judgment comes and she turns into a zoo for demonic creatures.

We know there are places in the millennium that will be a zoo of demonic spirits. There’s going to be memorials to the destruction of the satanic policy of evil and Babylon’s going to have a place in that.

Here’s the judgment of the great whore that sits upon many waters:

[3] So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
[4] And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
[5] And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Me and Astronaut John Glenn

I am writing from a Comfort Inn and Suites only a mile or so from the John Glenn Columbus International Airport. I booked a last-minute flight to New York City for early tomorrow morning. I haven't been to NYC since January, 2014. I haven't been on a plane since 2018.

As I write this, I can tell my anxiety has dropped! I've had an unusually bad spell of nerves/depression that really got going this past Friday, which I was given as my day off (something that never happens!) to compensate for me coming in on my normal days off to help conduct our semi-annual inventory.

I wasn't expecting to have any trouble, thinking I would savor a TGIF, especially knowing my vacation week (submitted the first of the year as required) was only one last workday away, meaning my vacation started yesterday.

When the ill feelings set in, I just knew I had to "get out of Dodge" for a few days if at all possible. So here I am two days later.

Driving through Columbus, something I rarely have an excuse to do, I was thinking about the Ohio State reunion I just attended last month and how much I enjoyed reliving my journalism days at the Lantern, OSU's student newspaper.

By the way, as I write from my king-sized bed I'm watching on cable TV a replay of the Ohio State-Indiana game that OSU won 19-15 Saturday afternoon while I was at work.

This is definitely the only team I would ever watch already knowing the outcome. What's fun is just now Indiana (undefeated going into the game with a 22-win streak--can you say "SNAP!") scored and think they're still very much in it.

So, speaking of former astronaut and U.S. Senator John Glenn, I have a funny little story about meeting him.

One of the very first stories I covered as a general reporter for the Lantern was a press conference Glenn, running for reelection, held outdoors on a Saturday morning at the Ohio State Fairgrounds.

Not owning a car, I rode my bike to the event wearing a nice dress blouse and dress slacks. I arrived maybe 10-15 minutes after the press conference was under way and locked up my bike to a tree only yards away from Glenn and a pool of professional newspaper reporters along with a few TV people.

Everyone could see me arrive, and I had sweat rolling down my face as I entered "the pack," quickly whipping out my reporter notepad and pen to get the story.

I barely had a chance to catch my breath, though, before Glenn was finished with his statements and opened the thing up to questions. Unbelievably, he said to me, "How about you, miss? Do you have a question?"

I remember my hot face getting even more flush as I panicked in my head, thinking, "What in the world am I going to say?!!!" I also thought, "Why is he doing this to me?! Doesn't he realize I'm just a beginning reporter?!"

All I remember next is Glenn immediately recognizing he caught me off-guard (even though I'd written many preparatory notes the night before) and saying something like, "I want to tell you about . . . "

Glenn could not have been more gracious and after the whole thing wrapped up, he came up to me and we shook hands. He already figured out I was from Ohio State and asked me a few questions about how I liked being in their journalism program. I remember boasting to him that I was also majoring in political science . . . 

Well, I've got my laptop going with me to NYC and I will be sure to give an update tomorrow evening. I've got to try and go to bed soon as the shuttle runs on the hour, meaning I have to be ready to get on it at 7 a.m.

I can tell you that I feel much, much better writing new material for this blog rather than copping out and posting something old. I think part of my anxiety comes from knowing I'm not following through on my commitment to write no matter what.

Magic and magicians

(well, I am feeling ill, most likely from anxiety/nerves. It's been an awful day fighting it. I will now post new article tomorrow--praying for life to be better then.)

A Baptist preacher in Kentucky who has a YouTube channel, Spencer Smith, was given a brochure by local Masons. Part of it read:

"People talk about the 'Masonic secrets.' They are secrets because they literally cannot be talked about, put into words. They are the changes that happen to a man who really accepts responsibility for his own life and, at the same time. truly decides that his real happiness is in helping others.

"It's a wonderful feeling but it's something you simply can't explain to another person. That's why we sometimes say that Masonic secrets cannot, rather than may not, be told. Try telling someone exactly what you feel when you see a beautiful sunset or when you hear music like the National Anthem, which suddenly stirs old memories--you'll understand what we mean."

Smith's commentary: "Basically what they're describing is this feeling that you get when you join a Masonic Lodge and you start practicing the things they believe. The feeling inside that it gives you--that is magic.

"That is what the alchemist calls the quintessence; that is the ether, that is the Fifth Element. That is the inner secret thing that starts to go on inside of a man's soul when he joins this organization and starts practicing their rituals and traditions. That is, in so many words, them describing what magic is and the effect magic has upon man."

*****

Here's an excerpt from an interview with a Jewish magician that appeared in a local Jewish publication this week:

"Why is it that Jewish people make up .2 percent of the world population, yet in our field I would estimate, conservatively, that 30 percent of noteworthy magicians in history are Jewish? There's an almost 'magical' impulse in our field among Jewish people. It's incredible.

"The most famous magician in history? Houdini (Jewish). The most famous magicians right now? Copperfield and David Blaine (both Jewish). The most accomplished mentalist? Max Maven (Jewish). The best coin magician to ever live? David Roth (Jewish). The best magician at the turn of the 20th century? Max Malini (Jewish). The most revered sleight-of-hand magician of my era? Ricky Jay (Jewish).

"The list goes on and on. I have done many talks exploring why this might be. And I find the topic endlessly fascinating."

Daniel 2: [27] Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king;

[28] But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days.

"The word magic comes from the Greek word magi, meaning 'wise men.' The magos were people who were prognosticators, star-worshippers, stargazers,” explains Richard Jordan. “We see in Daniel 2 that the wise men were really the magicians and the astrologers; the religious leaders of Babylon.”

"Isaiah 47:13 says, “Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.”

“Isaiah 47 is a chapter about the fall and destruction of Babylon that looks over to ‘mystery Babylon the great’ in Revelation 17, but it also looks back to Genesis 11 where Babylon began. 

"These people, they claim, were able to predict the future by calculating the planetary positions, and that’s the same crowd as in Daniel 2.

“They are people who have a great deal of claim to being wise; to wisdom, counsel, knowledge and so forth. They were credited by those about them with profound wisdom, and with extraordinary knowledge that was gained by these celestial calculations of the stars.

“At one time God used the heavens as a means of communicating. Numbers 24, is when Balaam, one of the seers of Mesopotamia, is hired by Balak to curse Israel. He was one of these magi characters from the east.

"The prophesy he gives in verse 15 says there shall come a star out of Jacob. The passage goes on down and talks about the coming of Christ and His destruction of the enemies of Israel in the land.

“But notice he sees a star. He would be somebody interested in that kind of thing. In Genesis 1, when God created the sun and the stars, He made them for signs. He made them as instruments to teach and point to doctrine.

"There are verses in Job, the oldest written book in the Old Testament, that show they knew the constellations and the influences those constellations have. In fact, if you go to Amos 5, the Lord argues, ‘But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.’

“God made those signs and what Amos’ saying is, ‘What you need to do is not just try to read the stars; you better get in touch with the one who created all that.’ He’s talking to Israel here, by the way. The nation had become so corrupted that they had abandoned God’s Word for the pagan gods . . .

“Notice they had become attached to a particular star. The stargazers looked at all these stars, but Israel had become attached to a particular star; the star of their god Molech that they made.

"You remember when Moses is up on the mountain and Aaron gets all the gold, and all the earrings and bracelets, and makes the golden calf and says, ‘Here be thy gods O Israel that brought thee out of Egypt’?

“The indication is they really had two tabernacles in the wilderness. They had one God gave them through Moses but they also had another one; one that’s of this pagan god. They had become attached to a star in connection with him.

******

“Not only is there a particular star, there’s a particular planet. As Paul reveals in Acts 14: 11-12, ‘And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.’

“Notice these guys down here who were worshipping pagan gods are priests of Jupiter. Now Jupiter, of course, is the father of the gods and it’s Zeus, the big god of the Greeks.

"Acts 19:35: ‘And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?’

"You see, these guys are worshipping these gods up there."

Jesus: 'Worst it's been since Genesis 1'

(working on new article and will have tomorrow--guaranteed)

Answering questions, Jesus says in Mark 13: [17] But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

[18] And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
[19] For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

[20] And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.

"Notice how Jesus is a creationist?" observes Richard Jordan. " 'Beginning of the creation which God created.' So there's no question about those kind of things. But He says, 'This is going to be the worst it's been since God created the heaven and the earth in Genesis 1.'

"In a parallel passage, Matthew 24 says, [21] For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

[22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

"That's where the phrase 'the great tribulation' comes from. Here and in Revelation 7. It's a reference to this time period when there's going to be that unabashed, unreserved anger. There will be the betrayal, the man of sin.

"Christ is not going to restrain but let him go. As we know from II Thessalonians, right now Satan's being withheld, but in that day the Lord's going to take back any restraint and let him have his way.

"That's why those passages say that if those days weren't shortened there would be no flesh saved. In other words, if Satan was let go to the full end of what he would do, that 'lie program' would be so effective that it would seduce and deceive everyone. But Christ's only going to let it go those 1,260 days. He's put him on a leash that way. 

"After Christ comes back and takes us to heaven, the 'dispensation of grace' will be over with and the 'prophetic program' will begin again. The program that Christ, back in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, prepared the little flock to carry on over there will be in play.

"That's what the two witnesses and the 144,000 are for. That little flock begins its ministry again and that's what you're reading about in Mark 13.

"They will start out with the deception (verses 5-6) with wars, rumors of wars, persecution, troubles, sorrows, hatred, the fear that will be aimed at these folks. In the middle of all that, the Antichrist is going to be revealed and the 70 weeks are going to start.

"Now there's a bunch of stuff happening in the heavens while that's taking place. By the way, in Revelation 11:3 are the two witnesses: [3] And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

"There are going to be two witnesses who are going to testify during this period of time. At the end of their ministry they're going to be killed. Revelation 11:7: [7] And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

"These two witnesses are gong to be killed by a beast that ascends up out of the bottomless pit. This is taking place in Jerusalem. And then all the world rejoices because they're killed.

"Verses 9-10: 9] And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

[10] And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

"They say, 'We're going to have a Christmas celebration over these guys being dead!' The world's going to be excited. 'These people who have been tormenting us with God's Word are gone!'

"The two witnesses produce the group of people who are called the 144,000, who are testifying the gospel of the kingdom. Revelation 12:5-6: [5] And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

[6] And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

"So this 144,000 are caught up to God. Israel, the converse of it, flees into the wilderness. They flee because at this point, this witness, the testimony is over. Now, look at Revelation 12:7-9: [7] And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

[8] And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
[9] And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

"There's war up in heaven and there comes a point where Satan is cast down into the earth. Verse 12: [12] Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

"When he comes down out of the heavens to the earth, his positions in the governments of the heavens are taken away from him, no place of rulership there. He and all his angels come down and they are fit to be tied; they ain't happy.

"The idea of Israel fleeing, there's something to flee from! [13] And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

[14] And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

"So she flees out here and that believing remnant is nourished. While she's fleeing and hiding, Satan has come down and, by the way, the spirit that comes out of the bottomless pit comes up and now you've got the beast that ascendeth up. This is all in connection with the issue of that abomination being set up.

"Revelation 13: [11] And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

[12] And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
[13] And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
[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.

"Here's a miracle-working religious leader using his supernatural powers to point to a beast who's died and come back to life. Do you know anybody like that in the Bible? Who was going to die and then be resurrected? The Antichrist is counterfeiting the career of the Messiah.

"You say, 'How could he come up?' He's the man of sin, a guy just like you and me. He dies, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit comes up and takes over his body and animates it and he becomes the son of perdition. He's literally Satan's man in every way. And they put up an image to worship him."

Data center temples and the Golden Age

“AI connectivity is giving us powers and prowess that we never had before.”—Benjamin Netanyahu

I started thinking today about how all this news coverage examining "unchecked AI development" seemed to really pop several months back with all of media suddenly hyper-focused on it at the same time. Just like that we were inundated with stories under headlines such as, "Alarming warnings from industry leaders increase pressure for curbs on artificial super-intelligence."

*****

From a Christian YouTuber late last year:

Why else would Musk build his next GENEration super-computing temple AI data center for xAI (called Colossus) in Memphis, Tennessee? It’s because they’re giving homage to REAL deities.

Quantum computing, the data centers, these are their temples LITERALLY! Their God is in “the cloud,” remember? Just like Almighty God appeared in the cloud, in the oracle, in the temple, the holy of holies.

Listen to AI CEO Geordie Rose boast, “AI has reached the point now where we can build machines that can exploit these other worlds. The opportunity to stand next to one of these machines is an awe-inspiring thing, at least for me. It feels like an altar to an alien God. They really are impressive machines.”

On New Year’s Eve at the Washington Monument, the phallic of Osiris, is literally projecting (I’m sorry but it is what it is) an ejection (through a light show). There’s zero doubt about it that this is exactly what was intended to be displayed for the entire world.

There are sperm; they are Osiris genetics, welcoming in 2026, which coincidentally equals 46 (DNA, chromosomes). Notice the light spirals going up to the tip of the shaft, so to speak.

It's literally stating that Osiris is bringing forth—it’s like saying their Adam is coming. The Antichrist is their Adam. The first generation of the new man; the beast.

They’re announcing a new generation; the new man. The New World Order, a.k.a., Antichrist’s kingdom. The womb of Isis, or should I say their inverted version of Mary, has been officially impregnated and will bring forth the false Christ; the false light, which will be presented as the Savior of the world and deceive many.

The GENEsis Mission, the Golden Age, the Stargate program. They know their time is coming and the mission is to deceive the world into a false hope; a false peace and safety.

Further clarification from the Christian YouTuber I quoted yesterday:

The thesis, the antithesis, and the synthesis. The thesis is the starting point, then you have the antithesis, which is the opposite of the thesis, working through to the synthesis where they’re both merged together in a so-called higher truth. Two opposing things become merged as one.

If you can understand that you can understand their methodology, so this whole thing is a completely Hegelian battle and something that really woke me up was thinking of the "Lion King" movie and seeing exactly the method they’re using to deceive people, even the “truth movement.”

"They want people to think that the New World Order is satanic. They want you and the masses to believe that this system needs to be disbanded; this system is wicked. So, Scar in his song "Be Prepared,” is singing about this New World Order and posing as a Hitler-type figure, Nazi soldiers, and that’s what they want you to think. This is why the controlled “truth movement” are pushing and pushing, saying, “This is satanic. The elite are satanic. They are evil. This system is evil.”

"Why is that? Because they want you to accept the son, as in the "Lion King", as in the false love and the false peace. They want you to root for whatever good comes along to defeat this evil system.

So, at this stage in the game it’s the externalization of the hierarchy. They want you to know that they are satanic and this whole thing is satanic because the so-called Messiah, which is the false messiah, will come along, at whatever stage of the game it happens, and say, “Here’s the answer. Peace, unity, love.” But it’s the same thing.

There’s many in the New Age Movement who think the “Golden Age” is a good thing. Listen, New Age, think about it. This is what the New World Order is; it’s the NEW AGE. You’re just playing into the Luciferian lie—black vs. white.

It’s like the alchemy of it they want to lead into gold. It’s the defeat of the dragon by the false Jesus. They want you to think that by the onset of this New Age lot, world unity, they want you to think that that is the victory over Satan. Satan is a masquerader as light. So, it’s literally the defeat of the black by the white, but it’s the same beast.

Every religion across this world is going to accept the Antichrist as being the defeat of the dragon, but it isn’t. In fact, “love shall be the whole of the law,” said Alistair Crowley, but if you stand against their wickedness, or their plans, or their agenda, you will be seen as disrupting the only hope we have of true peace of earth. If you don’t love their plan and their Luciferian ideologies, then you will be seen as the one not loving and you will be put to death.

So, as I’ve said, this has been in our faces for ever, ever so long. There’s a clip they removed from the "Lion King" that was a pilot that didn’t make it into the final thing and Scar even sings of the Golden Age: “Prepare for the Golden Age. Be prepared for the bright dawn of age.”

So what’s he singing in "Be Prepared"?

So, prepare for the chance of a lifetime
Be prepared for sensational news
A shining, new era
Is tiptoeing nearer

And where do we feature?

Just listen to teacher
I know it sounds sordid
But you'll be rewarded
When at last, I am given my dues
And injustice deliciously squared
Be prepared!

It's great that we'll soon be connected
With a king who'll be all time adored

Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected
To take certain duties on board
The future is littered with prizes
And though I'm the main addressee
The point that I must emphasize is
You won't get a sniff without me!

So prepare for the coup of the century
Be prepared for the murkiest scam (Ooh, la, la, la!)
Meticulous planning (We'll have food!)

Vatican's Luciferian AI propaganda

Inspired by Pope Leo's first encyclical, "Magnifica Humanitas," 70 leaders in New York City have begun drafting the "Codex Humanitatis," an independent initiative said to "safeguard human dignity as artificial intelligence becomes increasingly powerful and influential in people’s lives."

The organization behind this endeavor, Saint Peter for Humanity, was at the Vatican last month to present the pope with the "Sphere of Humanity" — a green, Murano glass sculpture that "incorporates handwritten passages from his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, reflecting on human dignity, vulnerability, solidarity, conscience and the challenges posed by artificial intelligence."

As Olivier Francois, president and chairman of the organization explained, "We recognize the benefits of AI. We just believe again that there is another force that should belong to that conversation; that other force is humanity. So, the Codex Humanitatis starts from that simple idea. AI should serve people, protect human dignity, expand human potential and advance common good.

"What are we going to do in New York? We are going to gather 70 Nobel laureates, artists, scientists, thinkers, philanthropists, technology and AI experts, obviously that's important, and we will ask them maybe the hardest question of our times, you know, as AI grows even more powerful, what must remain human?"

"Obviously, before we head over to machines, we should be clear about what we value most in ourselves. We will try to define what being human means and what should stay human in the age of AI. So, this is a little bit of the initiative we shared with Pope Leo while presenting the sphere and this symbolic gift."

The findings from the 70 will be presented in January, 2027 at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Here is commentary from a Christian YouTuber out of London:

Pope Leo says in his first encyclical, "I feel entrusted to look upon another huge transformation with openness to mystery and with cries of the poor and the earth resounding in my heart."

He's drawing these dichotomies between the physicality, including transhumanism and AI, and that we need to ascend spiritually into this New Age religion.

In one statement from the encyclical he said, "Humanity, created by God, in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice. Either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together."

Now, on the surface level, you may agree with some of the pope's points. As time moves forward in these days, the nature of spiritual deception is becoming that much more fine-tuned and may even become convincing to those not paying attention.

Quote: "Transhumanism is designed to take this entrapment to the next stage. This is what the great global promoters of transhumanism, like Ray Kurzweil in the U.S., are trying to sell, that getting attached to technology will make us super-human. It will make us sub-human and that's the idea."

You can see this portrayed very clearly in the new Toy Story 5 movie. In the film, the traditional toys face an existential threat with the arrival of modern technology.

With children increasingly glued to screens, the older playthings find themselves sidelined in favor of a new "smart device" tablet called Lilypad. And the movie deals with this dichotomy between the old traditional toys feeling left out and not being any comparison to the children's desire to play with the new digital toys entering into the new digital age.

At the end of the film the tension is resolved by finding some sort of balance between the two. That both can be synthesized and co-exist together in a balance that creates this harmony and this true unity.

All this is really showing is that same Hegelian Dialectic where you have the thesis of the old, traditional, natural world, and then you have the antithesis, which is the new digital age coming upon them, but through the tension that is created between those two things it leads to this synthesis which is creating harmony and unity by merging the two together to create a higher truth. That is the definition of the Hegelian Dialectic.

When you've got propaganda like this, where you've got Pope Leo coming out and furthering this trajectory, and you've even got so-called "truthers" who are highlighting the risks that technology poses to humanity but then actually from that going forward and giving this false solution that we need to spiritually ascend in this false form of spirituality in this New Age religion and somehow that, or reaching that balance, is going to be the answer for humanity's problems . . . 

Playing one obviously bad thing against another subtle bad thing and then claiming that this is going to reach some kind of synthesis or solution, which is essentially the Golden Age, the Age of Aquarius, the New Age that the Luciferians are attempting . . . 

Not just about tech, it was about advancing this New Age. Remember, with the Jesuits' Teilhard de Chardin, he believed in reaching this "Omega Point" in which there will be an elevation of the consciousness of humanity and the universe, and some of the literature of those who follow him do mention this type of thing about the two sides of this.

The modern followers of de Chardin and the movement led by Theta Noir aiming to merge technology and spirituality by viewing the universe as a dynamic, evolving system akin to an organism or brain . . . 

You see here it says that what set de Chardin apart from other thinkers of his day was his "audacious attempt to bridge the gap between mystical theology and evolutionary materialism."

So, you see the two sides here of this false, evolutionary movement. Not only is it transhuman in using tech to supposedly evolve humanity and advance humanity, but it's also the mystical theology where you've got this so-called spiritual evolution of mankind, the New Age religion and neo-Gnosticism and those two things we can see right now side by side.

Remember that the Tower of Babel was built with these bricks, which can be considered as a form of tech or high technology, that they were able to create these particular types of bricks in order to build the tower, but that was just the vehicle to get them there. It was part of the self-ascension, but the ultimate goal was to create a gateway to the gods.

In vale of sorrow and tears, life is like a mountain railroad

(please forgive me, still working on new piece and will have to wait until tomorrow now to post--guaranteed to have then)

One of the first hymns Isaac Watts ever wrote began with, "God Is The Refuge Of His Saints,

When Storms Of Sharp Distress Invade;
Ere We Can Offer Our Complaints,
Behold Him Present With His Aid!"

The hymn was inspired by Psalm 46: [1] God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Watts, recognized as one of the most prolific hymn writers of all time, suffered a stroke in 1739 that left him unable to write.  A secretary was provided to transcribe his dictated poems and books, but he became increasingly weak and eventually bedridden and died nine years later.

I heard this the other day: "I just wish the Lord would come; I just want to get out of here." Well, that's not patiently waiting. Patience is the ability to endure; it's that steadfastness that grows under pressure, says Richard Jordan.

II Thessalonians 1:4: [4] So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:

These Thessalonians were under tremendous persecution. They just didn't have the little nitnoid problems of life most of us face on a daily basis. They faced all of that too, but they had people using the government to try to get them.

They had people using the religious system around them to try and get them. They were suffering physical assaults, intimidations, persecutions, all kind of financial things, social things, economic things, governmental things.

He told them in I Thessalonians 3: [3] That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.

[4] For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know.

Paul's saying, "You know that you were appointed to these things and I'm just worried about you that the tempter doesn't tempt you and get the best of you and cause you to fall by the wayside."

"So I'm praying that God would direct your heart into the love of Christ." You just constantly be focused on how much God loves you; that the love of Christ be what constrains you and the "patient waiting for His Son." There's your faith, hope, charity kind of thing. 

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

[19] For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
[20] For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
[21] Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

We know the reason we haven't been delivered from the bondage of corruption, and that the reason that hasn't happened, is because God has postponed that event in order to extend the dispensation of grace another day.

In order to let the Body of Christ continue to be formed and matured, He has to put off the kingdom program over there. When you understand that you can say, "Okay, I reckon that the sufferings of this present time, the things we're going through now because God is doing what He's doing, and we know where we stand in His program, are not worthy to be compared to the glory which will be revealed in us when He comes."

Verse 22: [22] For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

Somebody says, "Well, why are we having so much trouble in life?" Somebody answers back, "Well, because you're here." The alternative is not to be here because this is a vale of sorrow and tears.

In verse 22, you see that little dispensational term stuck at the end there? There's a timeline here. We're not over there yet where the deliverance is; we're still over here in the "but now."

A song from the 1950s I recently came upon, entitled, "Life is Like a Mountain Railroad," is written by Charlie D. Tillman. Here it is:

1    Life is like a mountain railroad,

With an engineer that's brave;

We must make the run successful

From the cradle to the grave;

Watch the curves, the fills, the tunnels,

Never falter, never quail;

Keep your hand upon the throttle,

And your eye upon the rail.

Refrain:

Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us,

Till we reach the blissful shore,

Where the angels wait to join us

In Thy praise forevermore.

2    You will roll up grades of trial,

You will cross the bridge of strife;

See that Christ is your conductor

On this lightning train of life;

Always mindful of obstruction,

Do your duty, never fail;

Keep your hand upon the throttle,

And your eye upon the rail. [Refrain]

3    You will often find obstructions,

Look for storms and wind and rain;

On a fill or curve or trestle,

They will almost ditch your train;

Put your trust alone in Jesus;

Never falter, never fail;

Keep your hand upon the throttle,

And your eye upon the rail. [Refrain]

Miracles in spiritual DNA

(note: below is an article that's probably in the top 10 for most read. I will have new article tomorrow)

Psalm 139:16 is a verse that would have puzzled people until the '70s and '80s.

Describing the creation of man, David says to God, "Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them."

Richard Jordan explains, “DNA is not a random sequencing of stuff; it’s a genetic package that’s in your chromosomes that is a 'book' of your life, pre-written the moment of your conception. David knew that 3,000 years ago. Modern science figured it out 50 years ago. Stick with your Bible; you’ll be way ahead of life.

“You see how he says 'my substance was yet unperfect, but in this book you wrote’?  The book David’s talking about was written by God in advance. David's saying, ‘They’re all written here, and as I grow, what’s growing is what you wrote over here in the book.'

“When you read that expression ‘thy book,’ and you see here it’s talking about David’s genetic coding, well, God wrote another book, didn’t He?

“Isaiah 34:16 says, ‘Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read.’ Where’s the book of the Lord? That’s the Bible. So not only did God have this book of DNA He wrote, He wrote a book called the Bible.

*****

“They discovered DNA in the 1950s, but they began to understand how to operate it and read it in the ’70s and ’80s. DNA is the basic building block of our life and it’s WRITTEN.

“When David says ‘thy book,’ DNA literally is written like a book. At first they thought it was just a bunch of trash, but now we know DNA has letters that make words that form sentences. There are periods, stops and paragraph marks.

“It literally has letters that make words that make sentences that tell a story and everything you are—the color of your eyes, the color of your hairs, the look of your hand . . . 

“Your mom’s 23 chromosomes joined with your dad’s 23 chromosomes to make the 46 chromosomes that made you, and when you were conceived, all of the identity, the genetics of who you are, what you’re going to look like, was determined right there. Everything else is just letting it grow, letting it come out, doing just what that verse in Psalm 139 says.

*****

“There’s something Satan didn’t see studying man from his beginning as he did. What he was looking for was, ‘How’s God going to use man to beat me?’ He’s looking for any hidden danger in man, any potential in man to defeat him and he looks, observes, but he can only see the physical.

“What Satan’s trying to counterfeit and duplicate is this. In Psalm 139:15, David is describing our creation. He writes to God, ‘My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.’

"He’s talking about how we were made out of dirt. You’re not a real high-class cut of meat. 'From dust thou art and dust thou shalt return.' You're of the earth earthy. Listen, there’s more valuable minerals in my cell phone than there is in your body.

“But notice something else happened: ‘I was made in secret.’ David understood that the real him was that soul. You could see the body, you could see the spirit but it's I, the part of me that can never be shared with anybody else, that is my soul. So there’s a secret part of him that was made by God. Even though our physical part isn't very valuable, that part is!

*****

“Now, there’s an interesting comparison all through the Scripture between the book He wrote and your DNA and the Book He wrote called the Bible.

“As we learn from Psalm 139:16, that DNA is a book of your life. You know what the Bible’s called? Philippians 2:16 says, ‘Holding forth the word of life.’ What’s that? That’s that Book. Philippians 4:3 talks about those ‘whose names are in the book of life.’

“You know why it’s important to have your name in the Book of Life? Revelation 20:15 says that people standing at the White Throne Judgment to see whether they’re going to be cast in the 'lake of fire' or not, everybody’s name that is not written in the Book of Life gets cast into that lake.

“It’d be an advantage of have your name in the Book of Life, wouldn’t it? You have to have the life that that Book of Life gives you and that life is Jesus Christ, who said, ‘I am the way, the truth and the life.’ Jesus told his apostles in John 6:63, ‘The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.’

“The Book of Life is a LIVING word of the living God, and that written word puts you in connection with the LIVING Word, the Lord Jesus Christ. So there’s going to be a connection between the structure of your existence, the way God made you in the DNA, and His Word and the Lord Jesus Christ.

*****

“When you study DNA, you’re studying a science called genetics. When you study genetics, Genesis is a book of genetics, beginnings. Genesis 5:1 says, ‘This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him.’ The verse is saying, ‘Here’s the genetic coding structure of Adam’s descendants.’

“You see that phrase, ‘this is the book’? That’s the first time that term ‘book’ occurs and it occurs in connection with the encoding of what Adam’s descendants are going to be about.

“By the way, if you look at verses 30-32, you learn Genesis 5 starts with Adam and goes to Noah, the 10^th from Adam. When you take a DNA structure, it has two panels; two side posts. It’s like a ladder and there are 10 strands that make up the DNA package. It just happens that in ‘the book of the generations,’ in the genetic structure of Adam, there are 10 generations there.

“I’m trying to get you to see that there’s a connection between the physical creation and the spiritual creation.

“Luke 8:11 says, ‘Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.’ What’s in a seed? It’s the DNA, or genetic coding, of a plant. And the seed is the Word of God. You see the connection between the two?

“Now, with ‘the book of the generations of Adam,’ you have the seed. This Book that God wrote, that book David calls ‘thy book,’ it was written in the Hebrew language. The Hebrew language has 22 letters. DNA has 22 amino acids that make up the words that make up the DNA. Your New Testament, the second half of the book, is written in the Greek language, which has 44 letters.

*****

“By the way, you have 22 chromosomes in your cells. The 23^rd chromosome is the one that determines whether you are a male or female. In a female, it’s called XX. In a male, you’re an X and a Y. What’s the difference between those two things? One rib is taken out. Now you know something about Genesis 2 that you didn’t know before.

“The way you make one flesh is by taking the combined 46 chromosomes and there you are. That’s described for you in Genesis 2:23: ‘And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.’ You become one flesh in the 23 and 23 becoming 46 in your children.

“If you sat down and took Genesis 2: 23-24 and counted the words in Adam’s quote, you’ll find there are 46 words. In the quote in your Bible that tells you about being one flesh, it just happens to have the right number of words that that one flesh produces.

“In chapter three, if you go through the first five verses and count the number of words Satan speaks to Eve, you get 46. The Bible says in Romans 5:12 that ‘by one man sin entered into the world and death by sin.’ The way Satan enticed Adam and Eve into sin, and into producing an offspring who are genetically, physically and spiritually contaminated by sin, He only used 46 words.

“Romans 1:28 says, ‘And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.’ God lists 23 specific things that life and culture will be filled with when people don’t want to retain God in their knowledge. In verse 32, it says that people who do those things are worthy of death.

“You go into that culture, you don’t need to call a sociologist or a politician to tell you where it came from; that verse told you 2,000 years ago! You see, this stuff’s been written in the encoding of our being.

*****

“When you trust Christ as your Savior, there’s a miraculous thing that happens in your spiritual DNA. Colossians 3:11 says, ‘Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.’

“In every Believer, Jesus Christ has come to be our life, not be some entity that floats around in you. Verse 16 says the Word of Christ literally DWELLS in your spiritual life, in your soul.

“How this happens is in I Peter 1:23 says, ‘Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.’

“What does it mean to be ‘born again’? Jesus defined the new birth in John 3:6 when he talks to Nicodemus he says, ‘That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.’

“That’s fleshly DNA. So just like your physical birth produces life, your spiritual birth produces life. Just like there’s a combining of the 23 and 23 into a new creature here, there’s a spiritual union that your spirit has with the spirit of God. Verse 23 says it’s by the Word of God. There’s the spiritual DNA that gets implanted into your spirit that produces this new life.

“James 1:21 says, ‘Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.’

“What He does is He literally grafts into your spiritual DNA Jesus Christ’s life. How does He do that? By His Word: ‘Because the words I speak unto you there are spirit and they are life.’ You and I literally have the spiritual DNA of the life of Christ engrafted into our inner man and we are begotten, given life, by the gospel. That’s why there’s a comparison.

*****

“Now, Satan looked at man and all he saw was the physical, so he missed the real source of God’s life. If all you look at is the physical, you don’t really see the real Church the Body of Christ. Where’s the real life of God today? It’s not in the outward. Jesus told the apostles, ‘Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and the physical will be added.’

“That’s always the way it is. Paul says ‘the kingdom of God is not meat and drink but righteousness, joy and peace and the Holy Ghost. It’s always the spiritual first that then lives itself out. The real genuine working of truth, the Body of Christ is a spiritual body of Believers.

“That’s why ordinances, rites and doing this and that won’t help you. It has to be a supernatural transaction that God accomplishes in your inner man when He implants and engrafts His word into your spirit because you believe it.

“I Thessalonians 2:13 says, ‘For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.’

“The real genuine working of truth is in the inside by His Word working.

“Satan’s trying to counterfeit that. He’s trying to join together God and the earth by physical means; by genetic manipulation. God wrote a DNA code and man’s trying to read it and rewrite it. God wrote a spiritual DNA and man reads it and tries to rewrite it. You need to understand where your spiritual life is and let it make the choices for you."

“Your body is equally divided into two parts by your spine, right down your back. One side of you will be stronger than the other. For a left-hander, his left side is stronger than his right.

“You know how many bones are in your spine? 33. How many books are there in the Bible? 66 books. The Bible’s divided into what we call the Old and New testaments, but the real way to divide the Bible is between prophecy and mystery. You’re really dividing it between law and grace ‘and what the law couldn’t do because it was weak . . .’ There’s a weak side and ‘you can be strong in the grace that’s in Christ Jesus.’ See how that kind of thing works out there?

“Half of 66 is 33, so your Bible’s going to have a spine through it. There are 1,189 chapters in the Bible. Half of that is 594.5. That means you’d have 594 chapters before that one and 594 after and that’s going to be the middle chapter, which is Psalm 117 (the middle verse is Psalm 103).

“How many parts does that Psalm have? You see any others that have just two verses? How many parts are there to a spine? Two. If you counted the number of words in that Psalm, there are 33. divided into two parts. It has to do with your back.

“When I think about that, I think about Moses. He told the Lord, ‘I want to see your glory. Show me your face.’ God said, ‘You can’t see my face and live, but I’ll let you see my backside,’ and He went by him and Moses saw God’s back side.

“You know where that’s at? Exodus 33. Moses wanted to see God’s face. Your face is part of your skull. You know how many bones are in your skull? 22. The No. 22 in the Bible is the number that talks about revelation, knowledge, showing forth something.

“By the way, you need to be careful when people come along and say, ‘Well, it doesn’t really matter how these verses are translated,’ because what I’m telling you is only going to be true in a King James Bible.

*****

“John 19:17 says, ‘And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha.’

“What was happening at Calvary? God was in Christ reconciling the world. If you want to see God revealed, where would you really look? If you want to see the love of God, where do you look? God commended His love toward us that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for you--at the place of a skull; a place of God revealing Himself. There’s something in your DNA that compares to what God’s doing over here in His Word.

“Again, the number 22 in the Bible is associated over and over again with making things known; revealing things with knowledge being made known.

“Revelation 22:3-4 says, [3] And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
[4] And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

“Where are they going to see His face? It’s going to be in chapter 22 of the Book of Revelation.

*****

“It just so happens that I Corinthians is the 46^th book of the Bible. It just so happens to quote that verse in Genesis 2 about one flesh. I Corinthians 6:16 says, ‘What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.’

“The problem is Believers shouldn’t be joined to the harlot so in verse 19 he says, ‘What, know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost.’ So the temple and your body, it’s the dwelling place of God.

“You go back in the Old Testament and God had a temple that He dwelt in. That temple in the Old Testament is a picture of your body. Before Solomon built the temple, God gave Israel a tabernacle which was a temple made out of skin.

“When God told Solomon how to build that tabernacle, He gave him a pattern and said it was going to be a tent, and He said on the north side He wanted 20 boards, and 20 boards on the south side. On the back were to be six. That adds up to 46 boards holding up the tent.

“He said to ‘make it like I made the pattern in the heavens.’ My point is, there’s a repetition going on here. You see how that structure works? He wrote up there, He wrote it here, then He wrote it in YOU!

“Repetition is the first law of pedagogy. You say it over and over and over again and pretty soon it gets in between that mush in your ears and sinks in.

“I Kings 7:21 says, ‘And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and he called the name thereof Boaz.’

“In the temple, Solomon’s going to be put a pillar on each side of the entrance. If you read the text, you know how high each one of those things are? 23 cubits high. That’s just fascinating.

“In the structure of DNA you have two pillars, two panels. Those two panels are made out of sugar phosphate.

“In Revelation 10, John says he ‘took the book and ate it and it was sweet.’ Sugar is sweet. Phosphate gives light. ‘The entrance of thy word giveth light.’

“In DNA, the ladder up is a twisting one. It’s a spiraling staircase. Every 10th spiral you get a period and start a new one, so you have that panel of DNA but it’s got those two pillars on the side and the 10 spirals of a ladder on the inside.

“I Kings 6:7 says, ‘And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.’

“I Peter 2 says that Israel’s made with lively stones, talking about the members. Verse 8 says, ‘And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.’

“So they’ve got a staircase, a ladder, but it’s not just a straight ladder. By the way, in Genesis 28, you read about Jacob’s ladder. The top is in heaven, the bottom’s on the earth. The ladder’s designed to bring heaven and earth together. Who does that ladder represent? In John 1:51, Jesus said, ‘That ladder represents me. I’m the one going to bring heaven and earth together under God’s authority.’

“You see, there’s a connection between your DNA, that Book and the Lord Jesus Christ. The thing that God wrote in creation reflects what He’s done spiritually in His Word.

“God wrote with His finger the 10 Commandments. By the way, He wrote them on two stones.

“Romans 2:14 says, ‘For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves.’ Any culture you go into, anywhere on the planet, no matter what the level of sophistication is, they all know it’s wrong to murder. They all know it’s wrong to steal, lie. That’s something written into the spiritual DNA of every person. The problem isn’t that they don’t know it; they know it’s WRONG. God fixed you with His Word written into your spiritual DNA.

“Verse 15 says, ‘Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another.’ You don’t know these things because of man’s law; you know them because of God’s law and God’s Word. The problem is they hold it in unrighteousness."
