AI data centers are their literal temples?!

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

From a Christian YouTuber:

The AI is their God. Why else would Musk build his next GENEration super-computing temple AI data center for xAI in Memphis, Tennessee called Colossus? 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 light, a false peace and safety. 

'Such a stupendous thing to grasp'

(new article this evening)

A classic old hymn from 1880, "A Shelter in the Time of Storm," was written by Vernon J. Charlesworth (1838-1915), a British pastor who later became administrator of Charles Spurgeon's orphanage.  Ira D. Sankey composed the tune, writing in one account, "I found this hymn in a small paper published in London, called 'The Postman.' It was said to be a favorite song of the fishermen on the north coast of England, and they were often heard singing it as they approached their harbors in the time of storm." 

Here are the lyrics:

1      The Lord's our Rock; in Him we hide,

A Shelter in the time of storm;

Secure whatever ill betide,

A Shelter in the time of storm.

O Jesus is a Rock in a weary land,

A weary land, a weary land;

O Jesus is a Rock in a weary land -

A Shelter in the time of storm.

 

2     A Shade by day, Defense by night,

A Shelter in the time of storm;

No fears alarm, no foes affright,

 

3      The raging storms may round us beat,

A Shelter in the time of storm;

We'll never leave our safe retreat,

 

4      O Rock Divine, O Refuge dear,

A Shelter in the time of storm;

Be Thou our Helper ever near,

When you read the Book of John, you have to do like in Luke—notice the little things.

John 5: [5] And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
[6] When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
[7] The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
[8] Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

When it says in verse 6, "Jesus saw him," and it will be the same way with the blind man, He sees that individual, not everybody else and yet there’s this great multitude: [3] In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

Out of all that crowd, God’s grace focused on this guy. Their faith in God’s Word to them brings God’s grace into their life. How is it that He’s going to give them power to become? There’s the how, explains Richard Jordan.

When you read these miracles, all of them are designed together to tell you: [11] He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
[12] But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

What the Holy Spirit’s doing as He writes the Book of John is He’s going back to this original plan that the godhead has. In verse 3, He talks about that original plan for creation and the One who is the expression of that plan.

What in the world would it mean to call the Lord Jesus Christ the Word? What do you do with words? You express yourself; you reveal what’s in your mind, your heart. The Lord Jesus Christ is the one who’s going to reveal what’s in the mind and heart of God.

If you want to know God you’re going to have to look at Jesus Christ. To understand who God is and to grasp His person, you can’t look at creation because it doesn’t tell you about the person of God; it will tell you about the power of God.

Jesus tells Philip in John 14:9: [9] Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
[10] Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

There’s that wonderful passage in II Corinthians 4:6: [6] For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

The whole issue of Jesus Christ being the Word is not just to tell you God’s righteous. You can get that by reading other things in the Scripture.

Jesus Christ is not just simply revealing God as God with all of His attributes. His purpose in revealing God is to reveal to you what’s in God’s heart, because that’s how you really get to know someone.

You don’t just want to know about them; you want to know them. The way you know them is to understand what they’re thinking. How do they think about things? How do they react to things? What are their plans? What are their purposes? Where are they going? Are they able to get there?

Well, Jesus Christ as the Word, that implies that the godhead’s got a plan and Jesus Christ is the agency of the godhead through whom that plan is going to be communicated.

That is such a stupendous thing to grasp. It’s not to diminish at all, in fact, it’s to glorify the fact that Jesus Christ is the revealer of God, and without Him you couldn’t know God.

What you’re learning about God isn’t just that He’s high and mighty and lifted up, righteous and holy. I mean, He revealed that to Moses about Himself.

The purpose in all that revelation is to bring you into an appreciation of what God’s plan in His creation is and what’s that plan? The ultimate goal of God is to glorify Himself in Jesus Christ.

John 1:18: [18] No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

When you declare something, you set it forth. You ever heard the southern expression, ‘Well, I do declare.’ You tell it out.

Hebrews 1: [3] Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

In John 1 and 2, He’s going to tell you that Jesus Christ is the spoken out image of God. You want to know God and God’s mind? It’s in Christ. He’s completely, fully qualified to tell you that because He is God.

It says in John 1:3: [3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

You’re going to learn that that verse isn’t just talking about the birds and the bees and the stars and the nebula and the plants and stuff. It’s talking about a government and creatures put in that government to run this universe, because God’s got a plan and it’s going to focus in His Son.

John begins his book by pointing out to you that the Son is the focus where all of God’s glory is going to be revealed. We’re going to behold Him in human flesh so we can ‘behold his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.’

Revelation 1:8: [8] I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Verse 11: [11] Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

Alpha is the first letter in a Greek alphabet; Omega is the last letter. What Jesus is saying there is, ‘I’m God’s alphabet and I’m going to spell out and display . . . Words are made out of letters and I’m the one going to lay out for you the mind of God and what God’s got to say.’

By the way, when He says, "I am Alpha and Omega," He’s saying, "The last thing God’s going to say to you is going to come from me." That why in Hebrews 1 He says "in these last days." The conclusion of revelation is going to come from Jesus Christ.

Acts 14:12: [12] And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.

That term "chief speaker" is the word for "word" over there. If you took that translation of the word and applied it to John 1, what you would have is that Jesus Christ is the chief speaker of the godhead. They nominated God the Son for that job.

That’s exactly the idea there. In Colossians, it says He’s the image of the invisible God. He was like Adam in the earth back there. Adam was God’s spokesman in the earth. Jesus Christ is the one member of the godhead who’s going to speak on behalf of the godhead.

John 1 is not the first time the second person of the godhead has been referred to by that terminology. Psalm 33:6: [6] By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
[7] He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
[8] Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
[9] For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

Notice again how it’s connected with creation, just as it is in John 1. John 1:1: [1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
[2] The same was in the beginning with God.
[3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
[4] In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

Notice it didn’t say the Word was with the Father. That’s because there are more than two members of the godhead. If He’s with Him, that means He’s distinct from the other members. There’s a difference between being in God and with God.

Genesis says Enoch walked with God. They’re distinct from one another. "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" They’re walking together.

Not only is God eternal and self-existent, He is, in His person, distinct from other members of the godhead.

'Songs that make whole world sing'

(well, i guess i finally learned my lesson not to make any promises. sure enough, i had to work yesterday, covering for people out with the flu that's making the rounds with fellow employees, not to mention the customers. so far i've steered clear of any illness but working all the extra hours takes its toll. will post new article this evening)

"Woke folk" will tell you that many of the seemingly innocent romantic love songs we grew up with, and still have pop instantly into memory whenever we hear them, are actually songs to/for/about the Devil!

For one example, who over 50 doesn't know the Carpenters' hit "Top of the World"?

The lyrics include, "Everything I want the world to be

Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen

I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world . . . "

Frank Sinatra's "I Sing the Songs," later made famous by Barry Manilow in the '70s with "I Write the Songs," is actually said to be a song giving Satan's perspective on the subject.

It goes, "I've been alive forever, and I sang the very first song,
I put the words and the melodies together, I am music and I sing this song:
I Sing The Songs that make the whole world sing,
I Sing The Songs of love and special things,
I Sing The Songs that make the young girls cry,
I Sing The Songs, I Sing The Songs.
My home is deep within you, and I've got my own place in your soul,
Now when I look out through your eyes,
I am young again even though I'm growing old."

When I was a kid, I was a huge fan of the Muppet Movie (1979). The "Rainbow Connection" in the lead track is said to be the rainbow bridge to the spiritual/demonic realm!

The lyrics sung by Kermit the Frog, playing banjo in a remote Florida swamp, include, "Who said that every wish would be heard and answered 
When wished on the morning star? 
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it 
Look what it's done so far . . . 
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing 
What do we think we might see? . . . 
All of us under its spell 
We know that it's probably magic . . . "

Job 38:7 reports, “The morning stars (the classification of angels Lucifer was in; the top echelon) sang together, and all the sons of God (or all the angels) shouted for joy.”

“They’re watching God create the universe, marveling, ‘WOW! I got it! I see it!’ and Lucifer was the one leading them,” explains Richard Jordan. “Literally, when the morning stars sang together, you know who wrote the song? You know who provided the music? Lucifer.

“Pipes and tabrets, or percussion instruments, were literally built inside of Lucifer and he was the original composer of music. He was heaven’s choir director.

“Lucifer watched God create and decided he ought to be the one getting the glory in it all (Isaiah 14). He took the music and twisted it from being about God to being about him.

“That attitude of self-worship and independence from God—worshipping and serving the creature rather than the Creator—began right there and when Lucifer ‘fell’ he took his music with him.

“As Ezekiel 28:16 tells it, ‘By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.’

“He ran the world’s first advertising campaign, merchandising his ideas. And you know how important music is to that. It was a natural means of conveying his message.

*****

“Outlined in Genesis 4-6 is a picture of the original development of culture and society, including music, and its inherent sinfulness.

“When God wants to deal with the problems of life and culture, He doesn’t need 37 volumes written by Will Durant, or whoever else, to give you the course of Western civilization—He just writes it down in one chapter really.

“Genesis 4: 21 says, ‘And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.’

“Where does the art of music and entertainment come from? From whose descendants? Cain!

“I John 3:12 reminds, ‘Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.’

“Cain followed Satan. Now what kind of music do you think he was creating? You think he and his descendants were going to create music and musical instruments that praised God or praised themselves?

*****

“Describing the wicked in the days of Noah, Job 21 says, ‘They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance. They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.’

“The wicked have got music and they love it and it’s affecting them. They want to feel good. But notice what they don’t want:

“Starting in verse 13, it says, “They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.
[14] Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.
[15] What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
[16] Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.”

“They’re not interested in glorifying God; rather it’s, ‘Why should we serve God? There’s no profit. What profit shall we have?’

“I mean, tell me this morning, why do you serve God? You know a lot of churches today rely on music to bring people in; it’s not the teaching of sound doctrine.

“I talked to a business lady recently and tried to witness to her, and she said, ‘Oh, I sing in the choir every Sunday.’ When I asked her, ‘What does your preacher teach?’ she said, ‘Oh, I don’t get to hear the preacher very often because as soon as the choir’s quit singing I have to leave.’ She’s in real estate. She has to go do open houses after lunch. You understand why she’s there? To sing in the choir!

“There’s a whole lot of people who do that. You have the great music, the drama, and then the little sermonette stuck over at the end just because you’ve got to do something religious. The thinking is, ‘We don’t see any profit in serving God that way.’

“Listen, the closer you get to death, folks, and I’ve observed this for years, the harder you try to prove you’re not dying. And that’s not just the physical things; you’ll see that in spiritual things.

“When the wicked say in Job 21, ‘What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?’ they’re saying exactly what the people in Genesis 21 did, but the context is those overthrown in the days of Noah in the Flood.

“From the creation of the universe to the Flood, music degenerated until it debauched the world and filled it with violence."

Gap idea is destruction of evolution

(sorry for delay--new article tonight for certain)

Isaiah 45:18: [18] For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.

“That verse says He didn’t create it like Genesis 1:2 says it was. That’s one of the verses that tells you something happened between verse 1 and verse 2 in Genesis 1," explains Richard Jordan.

“In the last 30 years, evangelical Christendom, which is absolutely no place to get your bonafides from if you’re a Bible believer, has been on a terror about what they call Creation Science and the fight against evolution.

“Especially in the Christian school and home school movement, believing in a gap is considered heresy. In fact, there are major Christian universities who have adopted in their doctrinal statement that you cannot believe there’s a gap between verse 1 and verse 2 and be a fundamentalist. It’s become that politically charged.

“The reason they do all that is they want to defend against evolution. But think about that a minute: if God created the heaven and the earth and then something happened to what was there, and He had to redo it, how does that promote evolution? It doesn’t.

“A gap does the one thing to evolution that destroys it; it means what’s here now ain’t what was back there. If someone comes along and says measure the earth and it appears to be X number of million or billion years old, you can look at them and say, ‘So?’

“I mean, even if your scientific calculations are correct, so what? God created it, He judged it and what was there before He destroyed, and then He recreates it with Adam. Now that is the answer to evolution in the Bible. The so-called gap idea is the destruction of evolution.

“What they say is you’re putting the gap there so you can account for the earth being millions of years old. Well, okay, how does that help? If the earth is millions of years old (Genesis 1:1) and then there’s a gap between 1 and 2, what was there before isn’t continuing on until today. So you didn’t help yourself. You shot yourself in the foot as far as evolution is concerned.

“Now, if you need to fight evolution, all you have to do is read verse 1 or Colossians 1:16 or John 1:3 and that would have settled that for you.

Colossians 1:16: [16] For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

John 1:3: [3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

“What does it mean that the earth became without form and void? In Jeremiah 4, as well as Isaiah 45, are passages that are not specifically written to talk about Genesis 1; they’re written to talk about when Jesus Christ is revealed from heaven in flaming fire, taking vengeance on His enemies.

“Jeremiah 4 and Isaiah 45 describe what’s going on at the end. What they tell you is something happened back there between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 that isn’t resolved until the end. What happens at the Second Advent is the battle Christ wins is a battle that was engaged in Genesis 1.

Jeremiah 4:19: [19] My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.

“There’s that trumpet in Joel 2 before the armies of God. Verse 22-23: [22] For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
[23] I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.

"That description ‘without form and void’ is exactly what Genesis 1:2 said. How did it get that way? Verse 26: [26] I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.
[27] For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.

“There is His day of vengeance as the man of war making war. What did it do to Palestine? It made it without form and void. That expression is a clear reference to the condition of the earth after the judgement of God has been poured out on it.

“It uses exactly the same terminology as Genesis 1:2 because the battle that began between God and Satan back over in Genesis 1 isn’t resolved until Jesus Christ comes back at the Second Advent.

“It's crucial to follow that when you come back to Genesis 1 what you have is not the absolute original creation of the universe; what you have is the re-creation, the restoration, the restructuring of the universe in light of the fact that there is now a war going on and the universe is now the arena of the war. The theater for the battle is the universe we live in, so He constructs it in Genesis 1 in a way so as to set the battlefield.”

Harnessing what's hidden (in Christ)

(new article tomorrow)

Paul writes in Colossians 3: [24] Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

“Simplicity is truth’s most becoming garb; it doesn’t have to get all complicated. Every time Paul talks about an inheritance, he never puts an ‘s’ on that word even one time," says Richard Jordan.

"As far as Paul’s concerned there’s only one inheritance. That one inheritance is distributed based upon the capacity; there’s what he calls ‘the reward of the inheritance.’

“There are various positions, stations, responsibilities in the inheritance, but it’s still just the one inheritance.

“The issue of reigning with Christ is not the elitist, political reigning that you’re so familiar with; like what Jesus talks about in Mark 10 where you reign like the Gentiles, just having power and being in control and being boss.

“You look at our government today. Some of you older people can remember when we had what we’re called 'statesmen.' You don’t have any of those today.

“I get such a kick out of these guys when they talk about ‘gridlock.’ The president says, ‘I can’t get the Republicans to do anything,' and the Republicans say, ‘We can’t get anything done because of the Democrats.’ All they mean is the other guy won’t capitulate to do what I want. That’s all they’re talking about: ‘We want to reign.’

“So instead of seeing people lead your nation who are grateful for the privilege to serve, you have people who are grabbers of power and want the power to force people to do what they want done. Jesus said, ‘That’s not the way my kingdom works; that’s not the way ruling for God works.’

“You see, having God’s life is to have a life that always just instinctively lives for the benefit of others, never for itself. The Father finds all His pleasure in His Son. When you exalt the Son, who do you exalt? The Father.

*****

“In our situation we’ve been given the same kind of mandate that Adam had, only to do it in the heavenly realm.

“What He gave man on the earth is the example; the visible representation of what our function in the heavens is going to be. We’re going to be in a different dimension but the purpose, the activity, the mandate there is the same as the mandate here. We’re to go there and have dominion just as Adam was to have dominion here. We’re going to do it through the same kind of procedure—the discovering of wisdom, knowledge and understanding and the application of it.

“Colossians 1:9 says, ‘For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.’

“Look at chapter two verse two: That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
[3] In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

“You see, our job is do just like Adam. God had hidden all these treasures in creation and Adam was to go out and harness that. Our privilege is to find the wisdom, understanding, knowledge that’s hidden in Christ; to harness that and then to put it on display.

“That’s what that thing is in Ephesians 2:7: ‘That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.’

“That’s the exceeding riches where you take that peach and wind up with peach a la mode. What we’re doing is digging out all that hidden wisdom and riches God has put there in Christ and you just develop this entrepreneurial reigning of a servant. It’s sonship service.

*****

“It’s always fascinated me how the Book of Mark starts out. The only one of the synoptic gospels that starts out saying Jesus is the Son of God is the one that’s going to present Him as the servant.

“So what you’re going to see in Mark is the sonship service that the Messiah accomplishes. What is that? That’s simply the service that the Son, an adult in the family, understands the Father’s will and is out carrying on the Father’s business. Not doing His own will; doing the Father’s will.

“And everything He does (‘The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.’) He’s just extracting out of the wisdom, knowledge and understanding God has put there and developing the capacity to do that.

“His plan was for Adam to go out among the trees and discover that and then to extract it out of creation to develop technologies that give Him the opportunity to take creation and make it work.

“An entrepreneur is somebody who takes something and makes new things out of it that add value to what’s already there.”  

Tongue-lashing on tongue-talking

One time living in Manhattan I talked to a bright, well-dressed woman inside the Times Square Starbucks (51^st and Broadway) who swore to me that she was saved the moment God gave her the special gift of speaking in tongues.

It was a Sunday morning and she had just come from a service at the famous apostate Times Square Church (founded by David Wilkerson in 1987) on the other side of the street.

When I explained to her that the Apostle Paul makes clear in the Bible that only men were ever empowered to speak in tongues, and that there always had to be an interpreter present for it to be authentic, she backed off, saying for her it was “prayer language” and something that “came out of the anguish of my heart,” given to her by God for only Him to interpret.

I immediately thought, “Well, if God knows every thought a person has, as the Bible tell us, why would He need to listen to some unintelligible gibberish, created by Himself and caused to be suddenly blurted out from her, so that He could know the ‘anguish of her heart’?”

When I told this 40-something woman she was engaging in mysticism and that Satan had her duped by getting her to focus on sensory delight and supposed supernatural experience as a “sign from God,” she practically bolted for the door. She was so angry with me the people at surrounding tables stared to see what was going on!

*****

In his mega-bestseller book, “The Purpose-Driven Church,” Saddleback Church pastor Rick Warren lays out for fellow pastors, who look to Warren as their mentor, this apostate belief: 

“God’s presence must be sensed in the service. More people are won to Christ by feeling God’s presence than by all of our apologetic arguments combined. Few people, if any, are converted to Christ on purely intellectual grounds. It is the sense of God’s presence that melts hearts and explodes mental barriers. Worship without this yields few evangelistic results.” 

Revealing his total ignorance of what Paul is really communicating to the carnal Corinthians who were hooked on faking tongue-talking, Warren writes in defense of the phony Pentecostal practice: “Because genuine worship can have such a profound impact on unbelievers, we need to be very sensitive to their fears, hang-ups, and needs when they are present in our worship services. 

Warren continues, “This is the principle Paul taught in I Corinthians 14:23. Paul commanded that tongues be limited in public worship. His reasoning? Speaking in tongues seems like foolishness to unbelievers. Paul didn’t say tongues were foolish, but only that they appear foolish to unbelievers.”

******

Here is an old post on the subject of tongue-talking:

On the word “language,” author Roy Blount Jr. writes in his book Alphabet Juice, “I trust that you get your back up as I do when this word is used pejoratively or dismissively. As in, ‘At the moment the two sides are primarily talking language.’ Until you’ve agreed on the language, you haven’t agreed on anything, unless you’re in love or something, and even then . . . you’re going to be surprised.” 

What is so astounding is that Christian Believers in Corinth literally had the supernatural capacity to communicate in other languages they had never known, studied or learned.

“Tongues are not ‘Hastalashanda . . . ’; it’s not that at all,” says Richard Jordan.  “You know what God was doing at Corinth? He was raising up in that Gentile church a testimony to those Jews who lived right next door about what was going on. Paul tells us the gift of tongues was a sign to those unbelievers next door! 

“Can you imagine?! I mean, ‘Raise the windows, John, we’re going to have a tongues meeting here so the people next door can know God’s over here and not over there.’ That’s literally what was going on. 

“What were tongues in the Gentile assembly at Corinth a sign to Israel of? Well, look at I Corinthians 14:20-21 and he’ll tell you: [20] Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.

[21] In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. 

“He says, ‘There’s something you need to understand about tongues and prophecy.’ What he’s talking about is Isaiah tells Israel that one day God is going to send in the Assyrians, who are going to take that northern kingdom captive, and He’s going to speak to them in other tongues with men of other languages. 

“The Gentiles are going to come in there and take that northern kingdom and carry the Jews away into that 'fifth cycle of judgment,' taking them captive. And even in that punishment and judgment they’re not going to hear Him.

“You know what happens when God speaks to Israel in the tongues of the nations? It’s an indication and a sign of His judgment upon them. He’s left them.

“Tongues were God’s gift to Israel and those signs belonged to them. Where had they gone? The Gentiles had them. What does that tell Israel? God isn’t at your house anymore. God’s done gone over next door on a visit.

“In prophecy, the Gentile was to go be like the Jew. In Paul’s ministry, the Jew has to go be like the Gentile. What does that mean? The only hope there was for any Jew, any unsaved Israeli out there in those synagogues, was in the gospel of the grace of God preached by Paul.

“The Gentiles centuries before had been cut off and now the Jew had to come and take his position with the ‘chief of sinners’ in a cut off position like a Gentile and trust the Savior of cut- off sinners.

"If the Jew claimed his ‘special status’ and said, ‘I’ll sit at my special table and eat of my special food,’ there was nothing on the table for him. In fact, the table had been packed up and put away and wasn’t available.

“That’s what the situation was and it’s important to understand that in the Acts period Paul presses his Gentile apostleship in such a way as to provoke these unsaved Israelis out there to listen to what he’s saying and to DESIRE to trust the message he’s preaching.

“Look at I Corinthians 1:21-23: [21] For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

[22] For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
[23] But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

“You see that? It said the Jews REQUIRE. They don’t SEEK a sign; they won’t believe without one! They require a sign! For those Jews next door to believe that God left and went over there, they wouldn’t believe it without a sign. Jesus says in John 4:48, ‘I know you won’t believe except you see a sign.’

“Tell me something, over here in the Corinthian church, they start speaking in tongues. I can tell you how to learn to speak in tongues. Take you about a half-hour of concentration. Go home tonight, be sure you explain to your spouse what you’re doing so she doesn’t put a net over you.

“I mean, you learned at one time in your life to say, ‘Sister Susie selects seashells by the seashore.’ Sit down quietly, get concentration and just take the expression, ‘Tie the bow tie, untie the bow tie.’

“Just keep doing it real fast until you can articulate and you will develop a word; a way of saying it where it will be different from how anybody else will say it and you will have your gift. Now, I kid you not, that is the way. You know how I know that? Because a prominent tongues-talker wrote a book and that’s what the book said. You say, ‘That’s weird.’ It’s an acquired ability.”

50 courses to teach this one verse:

(new article this evening)

Romans 1: [11] For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

[12] That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

Paul says, “I don’t want you tossed to and fro, carried about by every wind of doctrine. I want you to get established; I want you to get stabilized.”

What does that mean? Go online and look it up. You get 50 different people trying to sell you courses. I can save you some money. Read the next verse!

Paul says, “What does it mean to be established? Well, let me tell you.” That’s in verse 12, says Richard Jordan.

Paul says, “Believe the same things I believe and you’ll be established.” The mutual faith means something we share in common. When you share and believe what I’m teaching and what I believe . . .

You remember how he starts II Timothy 2? [1] Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
[2] And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

Same thing. He couldn’t come to them in Rome, so you know what he did? He wrote them a book. He was all hot and bothered because he couldn’t go down there and look what God did. God said, “I don’t want you to go down there; I want you to write them a book.” Why? “Because there’s some dudes in 2012 (and beyond) who are going to need that book. It’s going to be a part of my Word.”

That’s interesting, isn’t it? People are always so interested in telling God what He ought to do with their life.

So Paul writes the Book of Romans—I hate to say Romans is “milk” because it’s advanced doctrine to a lot of people. But it’s designed to be the nourishment that teaches you what God’s done for you at the Cross, and it orients you to God’s grace.

Grace is all that God is free to do for you through the finished work of Jesus Christ. There’s the justification, there’s the sanctification, there’s the change of identity from Israel to the Body of Christ and then there’s the practical application of it all.

By the way, Ephesians gets to talking to you about your walk half-way through the book and Romans waits until chapter 12 before it ever talks to you about the Christian life.

You get the average preacher in denominationalism and there’s a little slogan preachers use: “You win ’em, you wet ’em, you whip ’em, you work ’em and you watch ’em.”

Down South they used to say, “Three, Ten and Out.” That was their prescription for the successful Christian life. What does that mean? Go to three services a week, give ten percent of your money and pass out tracts.

There’s people Down South watching on the internet right now that know exactly what I’m talking about and who says it.

You know what that will do? That will make a good religious clone of you, that will put you on the treadmill. Over there they’ve got all the beads and that stuff for you to do, with the ceremonies and the liturgy and all that correctness and stuff. Whatever. Get you on that religious treadmill. You know what that will do? Nothing. Just get you more confused.

Emotional highjacking by digital prophets

Here is commentary from a YouTuber in Boston who is Jewish and studies the Torah:

Look at all the ADHD medicine that’s prescribed to Gen Z and Millennials.

It’s all over the news, all over the television, nothing but these commercials for different mind-altering consciousness chemicals and most of society is in an altered state of consciousness.

Most of society isn’t vigilant and sober. Whether that is drinking alcohol to taking whatever thing out there that changes your state of consciousness.

This gets even deeper when we start thinking of what was the next mission of Timothy Leary, the 1960’s LSD guy from Harvard that Jordan Peterson took over for. It was chaotic and now it’s all about order.

The next mission from “tune in, drop out” is the plug-in and goes into the cyberdelics. Cyberdelics is the fusion and the immersion in cyberspace as a sort of psychedelic experience.

So you’ll be scrolling on your “doom scroll” and you will be having a Shamanic experience doom-scrolling. Why is it called scrolling, by the way? That’s interesting verbiage. Think of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

People are listening to these different podcasters that push people into this survival state. When you’re put into a survival state like during the lockdowns, or any time where there’s real fear, the person doing it will feel special: “I’m special; I’m in survival mode,” and marketers like Canadian philosopher Marshall McLuhan wrote books about this (including his 1964 “Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man”) and they understand this.

There are two psychological aspects to get people to buy a product or a vote and that’s fear and greed. Right here is the emotional highjacking of the amygdala.

Getting people emotional is a narcissistic tool to control; it’s a psychopathic tool to control the audience, or the people being ruled by this Hegelian master-slave dynamic.

What brings somebody to want to be led by a digital prophet? What makes somebody say, like, “Hey, I’ve got to listen to this (social media personality) Andrew Tate to lead me to what to do.” What brings somebody to a Candace Owen or anybody influencing?

People don’t want to think for themselves or take action. Let me tell you, when you start trusting your own gut and your own intuition and having your own discernment, and start taking action based on the self-esteem of having faith in God that you’re going to make the right moves, your self-esteem builds.

That’s the big thing—the removal of the self. That’s the big thing; the audience captured. What a narcissist is, according to Alexander Lowen, is somebody who has killed their emotional self.

So they have removed their emotions and become a robot, so they’re not tapped into who they are and all those emotions and crap like that gets stored into our bodies.

Who are the clandestine puppet masters behind these influencers the masses are having para-social bonds with, thinking their having “facetime” with these TikTok conspiracy influencers and political commentators, building a bond that’s only one directional?

Are the puppet masters behind these influencers manipulating minds for a certain outcome? Take a look at Michael Foucault’s “Governmentality is the ‘Conduct of Conduct’ ”.

Take a look at Oswald Spengler’s “The Decline of the West.” There’s also Gustav Le Bon’s “The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind.”

We hear this term "the ratio" as if that’s a good thing, being part of the collective: "The ratio is who told me that I have to stay home; that I had to partake in this United Nations agenda." It’s the crowd-mind, "the pluribus,” and that’s who I’m terrified of.

If the ratio says, “You need to do this,” and socialism is the group; it’s the ratio.

(Definition from a website: "Ratio started on Twitter in the mid‑2010s and originally described tweets with more replies than likes/retweets. Since then it’s become a broader slang across platforms—including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube—where it refers to any post that gets attacked in the comment section rather than supported. Being ratioed is both content signal and cultural meme.")

Here is a post from a few years back:

Evil forces vying for power and control today are banking on the human phenomenon known as “source amnesia,” which leads people to forget whether or not a statement is true.

“Even when a lie is presented with a disclaimer, people often later remember it as true,” informs a New York Times op-ed column on the subject. “With time, this misremembering only gets worse. A false statement from a non-credible source that is at first not believed can gain credibility during the months it takes to reprocess memories from short-term hippocampal storage to longer-term cortical storage. As the source is forgotten, the message and its implications gain strength.”

Obviously you can see the biblical implications. That’s why you hear all kinds of outrageously untrue statements about what the Bible really says. People listen to other people’s lies and don’t remember what they once knew as fact from God’s Word.

*****

"In the Bible, truth is more than just being right all the time; it’s the ultimate basis of reality," says Richard Jordan. "What makes what’s real? God.

“You know that coffee table is solid, but at the atomic and sub-atomic level it isn’t. Well, what’s reality really made of? In Scripture, the ultimate source of what’s real—not illusionary, but what’s real—is who God is.

“There’s a scene in one of the Indiana Jones movies where, at the end, everything resolves itself; they figure out the mystery they’re looking for in the crystal and Indy asks, ‘Well, did they go out into space?’ The other guy says, ‘Yes, the space between things.’

“You know that what he’s talking about is not outer space. You take an atom

and it’s got all these neutrons, protons and electrons that circle. Well, what’s between all that?

*****

The thing you notice more and more about yourself as you study and try to apply God’s Word is how much you lie to yourself.

The more the lie is subconsciously reinforced in the brain the harder it becomes not to buy into it as truth on a physical-emotional level where it actually debilitates you in a very real way.

Paul writes in I Thess. 2: 13, “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.”

Jordan asks, “How do you get where the truth effectually works inside of you, and produces its work in you so when your feet hit the ground you’re off doing what God’s Word says you should be doing? How to you get from where it’s stuff you just know in your head to stuff that lives in your life?”

He answers, “There’s one word and it’s not religion. It’s not rules or regulations; performance systems. Look at what the word is—believe.

“You know what the long and the short of it is, folks? When you read a verse of Scripture and it says that this action and attitude ought to be the action and attitude you take as a Believer, because you’re a Believer—because you’re complete in Christ and you know who you are—it should be, ‘This is the way I will live my life on a daily basis; this is how God would live and act in me.’

“When you don’t do that, you know why you don’t do it? Because you don’t believe the verse! That’s all there is to it! There’s not any other excuse. You’ve got misplaced dependencies; your confidence is not in God’s Word; it’s not in who God’s made you in Christ. It’s in you or someone else and what you want and not what God wants.

“You want the verses to work in your life? Believe. That’s all you got to do. The only response grace will accept is faith and when you believe the verses, you know what they’ll do? They’ll transform your life into what they say. The reality of what they say WILL work in your life.

“Your emotions are designed to respond (that’s why there’s the word motion) and God has built you so a part of your inner man’s designed to put into motion the things that your heart and your mind have chosen to do.

“But the order is facts first. Then you have to faith in the facts. And once you have faith in the facts, it will produce some fruit. And the fruit will then produce the feeling.

“You have to have it in that order, because until your faith rests in the reality of the facts, those facts can never go to work in your life. They’ll just be rolling around in your head. When your faith rests in them, your faith in those facts releases the power of that truth and it works effectually in you that believe.”
