Okay, live from Bremerton. It's Monday night. We thank you lord that we can be here at Rob and Vicky's home. They're feeling better and thank all of you for your patience and your prayers and helping us get through the the sick season. And now tonight, we're gonna study Revelation chapter 18, and we're gonna start by worshiping the Lord. We had a real nice meal together in fellowship and prayer, and we lift up Linda. Linda's sick and so we're gonna start with praying for her. So father we come before you and we lift up Linda, we lift up Teresa, we lift up others in the fellowship who are who've been battling sickness. We thank you that Rob and Vicky came through theirs, and Rob still has a little lingering thing going on. We just pray that you would help it get all the way gone and just bless this night, Lord, and pour out your holy spirit. We wanna we wanna glorify you, Lord. We pray that you'd be well pleased this night as as we've come to worship you lord. In Jesus name, amen. Alright. Thank you, Rob. So nice to be back and. Having a Bible study Alright, Revelation chapter 18. Now, we gave you some homework before we, well, let's pray. Father, we just thank you for the sweet time of worship and as we study your word, we pray that you lead and guide us lord and all truth that you be our teacher and you help us as we open up to conversation, speculation, investigation, Lord, of the times we're living in and how maybe some of the things leading to the rebuilding of Babylon are happening presently, Lord. So help us we pray in Jesus name, lord. Amen. Alright. So, most of the commentators, people that have done this in the past, they'll they'll say, Babylon is in a symbolic. It's they look at Babylon presently so the hot Saddam Hussein tried to rebuild and one of the seven wonders of the ancient world was the gardens that Nebuchadnezzar had built in chapter four. He said, is this not great Babylon which I have built? And it was it was just phenomenal, the the city and all. So the Medes and the Persians come in and and in chapter five and take out Belteshazzar and wait in the balance and found one teen and that very night the kingdom taken from them but the Israelites that were in captivity, they've been there close to seventy years and they get to be released and all. And so the city of Babylon wasn't destroyed right then but it gradually began to dissipate and it wasn't, you know, it presently it's it's hardly anything. Now, Saddam Hussein did some things and I guess we didn't. We're over there did a few things but for the most part, it's it's not looking like it's ever going to be the epicenter for the Antichrist, for the religious system, the economic system, and the political system. So, Babylon's going to be the capital city for the Antichrist during the tribulation period and and so when I when we talk about this, it's kind of like if we were before 1948, if we were living in the eighteen hundreds and we were looking at the scriptures of Isaiah or Ezekiel thirty six and thirty seven which speaks of Israel being reborn. A whole lot of people say, oh no, no, no, the church has taken the place of Israel. Israel's never literally going to be reborn. They missed their chance and so, 05/14/1948, Israel becoming a nation unprecedented in history and then presently, you know, working toward building a temple and Jesus in Matthew 24 speaking of the abomination of desolation spoken by Daniel the prophet. So, you see Israel in the land. The building of the temples getting ready to be done and so you see within the tribulation period, there's gotta be a temple. There's gonna be a resurgence in Judaism and the priest ready to do all that and the ashes of the red heifer they're looking for and trying to inaugurate and get this going and some say that the covenant in Daniel nine that the Antichrist signs with the nation of Israel is a covenant that reestablishes the Mosaic covenant and so getting it going again and that's the covenant that they're gonna have for one week for seven for seven years. Now Babylon in that system, the Antichrist is Jeremiah fifty and fifty one and Isaiah thirteen and fourteen and Zechariah five prophetically speaking eventually Babylon's going to be destroyed like we're finding out now tonight chapter 18 going to be wiped out. In chapter 14 verse verse eight we were told that Babylon has fallen has fallen and that's looking future parenthetically and so now we're in the in the spot where time wise before Armageddon, right before Armageddon, Babylon's going to be destroyed and so when Babylon's being destroyed, the Antichrist sees that he's been betrayed and the city's been knocked out. And rather than going and fighting with his armies against those that came to invade and and, you know, wiped out the city, He puts his attention upon the Revelation 12, the Jews, as they're trying to escape and Jerusalem falls. He brings Jerusalem down and the Jews fight, but Zechariah 12, you know, they they lose. And there's Jews here in Babylon that are told in our chapter to flee and so presently, you'll hear people speculate that America is Babylon and it's the economic center of the world and it's going to crash and and fall and the mystery Babylon The Great would be America or maybe it's going to be Rome. And so a lot of different spiritualizing, you know, ideas if you will. But we're looking at it from a literal standpoint tonight And several different commentators and people tell you some some people think there are two Babylons and all that sort of thing. I believe there's one Babylon. It's a city. And in present day Iraq, if we look at Genesis 10 we see Nimrod and we see in chapter 11 Babel, Babylon in the land called Shinar which is present day Iraq and the Tower Of Babel. We see in chapter 17 the false religious system that's that occupies three and a half years of the tribulation period. The resurgent of the Babylonian religious system and an apostate Christianity and apostate all the different religious systems of the world coming together. So, something once hidden now revealed in chapter 17 and and then as I said in chapter 18, an emphasis upon the destruction of the Antichrist capital city where he has his political and economic city. And so I gave you guys homework to look at the economic trades, trade routes, and all that are developing in The Middle East. Did anybody discover anything? No. They're building a lot of canals and trying to work their way train routes. Right. Different routes other than the Suez Canal. Right. So presently, we're dealing with the Strait Of Hormuz. Right? It's a choke point and it it affects energy. Right? Energy and commerce and goods getting in and through there and ships and all that. So a a problem's being created, and there's going to be problem reaction solution. What's the solution gonna be in The Middle East to if it's gonna be an economic center, how are they going to solve the trade route problem through the Strait Of Hormuz or the Suez Canal or any of those things? How how is how is the world gonna look on the merchants and the monarchs and the mariners gonna look on at Babylon as being destroyed as in a moment, smoke billowing up from it, and it had been the economic center for the antichrist and the political center. How is that gonna happen? How how is the world gonna get to that place? Is there did you see the IMAC Corridor? The India, Middle East economic corridor that's being built? All the way now we're looking here. We're gonna look at frankincense and and ginger and cinnamon and gold and all sorts of commodities that are gonna come from India. Right? Manufacturing from China. Right? So China's developing a belt road or a resurgence of the old silk road, both maritime and physical on the land to because they're one of the second most dominant economy in the world with manufacturing and goods and stuff. So our Costco stuff that comes, it has to get here somehow. And and so what they're saying is that in the West here, the economic the economy, the money is gonna move to the East. The East is going to be the epicenter of the world economically. And and so in order to do that, they've got to get all the infrastructure built and get it ready for that. So the IMET Corridor is one of them. The Gaza Canal Gaza's being scraped, being cleared out, and Israel's gonna try and build a canal through Gaza to bring their commodities, to bring their natural gas, their oil, to get it to market, you know, into Europe. And, as I said, the China Belt And Road, the ancient Silk Road that Marco Polo went down, so the Chinese are gonna try there. Also, as I was researched on this, the Chinese are trying to work with the Russians, and they're trying to figure out a way to go through the Arctic. So take a take a line, a different avenue. Because of the Strait Of Hormuz, Saudi Arabia has a has a they have a pipeline of ancient oil or not ancient, but years older older pipeline that's in place, but hasn't been they haven't had to use it because of the Strait Of Hormuz being open and all. But they're thinking of redoing that and that's called the Yanbu Passage. So, they want to be able to get oil to market. And Babylon itself which is the topic. I've told you guys to look up ALDashFAW. A L Dash F A W. And you can do it on your phone now if you want. But there's an enormous amount of investment being made in Iraq. It's about 60 to 80 miles from the city of Babylon proper, but it's the port it's the port area where enormous amount of maritime ships are gonna be able to come come and go with goods and services being built there. There's also land routes that are being built along the Euphrates on up into Turkey and Turkey across the Europe. So both land and sea avenues and what kind of commodities do they have now? It's typically oil right now, but definitely an effort to for these countries to be the producers and then for this to be a distribution place to send these goods out. So you go to Costco in Washington and all of it came from The Middle East, it came from India, it came from China, and it had to get here somehow. And so those are the quarters that are being built. Those are the infrastructure that's being put in. And the other thing is is in America here, when they're trying to build these data centers, one of the things they're facing is a lack of electricity and a lack of water. Their people are getting angry about it. Well, the UAW, The United Arab Emirates, was hit with some bombs, and they are ruled by dictators over in the Middle East. So this the technocrats, the Palantirs, the Elon Musk, and all them in making that region their their capital area for this all the infrastructure that's necessary to surveil with the Stargate project the whole world, the people have no say so there. So these dictators are more than willing to invest their investment, their money, their trillions of dollars they have to build this technocracy. Let it be the technocracy, the the place there in Dubai, in The United Arab Emirates, and in Iraq, and let it be the place where this is headquartered. And and then you also know again that Israel is very blessed by god with in in the area of technocracy, in the area of technology, in the area of now natural gas and minerals and and things that they produce, the food that they produce and the flowers and all the different farming and stuff they're able to do. They need to get all of their stuff to market. And and so that's the picture here in chapter 18 is is the economic and political capital as the world changes. So, the times of the Gentiles ends or Gentile world rule and or ends as we know it, the old order, and the new world order is the the ending, the final last seven years of the Gentiles being in power, and and that's the rebirth of the Roman Empire, and the rebirth of that Roman Empire imperial and divided into 10 regions and 10 kings and then three of the kings fight against the Antichrist and then they're defeated by the Antichrist and he becomes the eighth. And so the first half of the tribulation period for three and a half years, you've got the 10 kings and at the midpoint, when they fight against the Antichrist, three of them are wiped out. So the second half of the tribulation period is no longer the mystery Babylon, the religious system that originated in Babylon. It's more of a Luciferian, full blown Luciferian, the worshiping of the devil with the occultism and all And it's headquartered in Babylon which is the very center, the place that where the devil inspired Nimrod to reject God and and you know to worship the unholy trinity. So, the woman that rides the beast is is the religious system riding the government and working together and and then that's going to be severed where the world's going to worship the dragon of the Antichrist and the false prophet. And so the final three and a half years with the seal judgments already happened, the trumpet judgments happening, and now the bowl judgments coming out, and God's going to destroy Babylon. So anyway, want you to I want I want you I want encourage you to continue to watch the infrastructure going in The Middle East. Watch the Strait Of Hormuz and see what they do. I I've energy is their big thing right now. So how's that energy gonna get to market? That's a big part of the beast system is that of the energy and the and the surveillance and all natural gas and oil. Now do you guys think that the world has technology other than natural gas and oil that we could run on something like fusion? Is the fusion technology there? Do you think you could drive a car and run it on water? Other than terminal is a hydrogen car. Well, I know they're coming out with one, but there's information that people have built cars that run on water and then they're poisoned because the oil companies can't allow people to be people need to depend upon oil. They have to depend upon oil. The whole business of energy is geared toward them controlling the oil and natural gas, everything. The electricity that we have, everything. So you control the energy and control food. You know, you control everybody on the planet. So if there was a different technology that made oil and natural gas irrelevant, you know, and they're all about the environment. Right? So if you had a fusion technology or things running, creating energy with water, then it wouldn't it wouldn't lend itself toward controlling everybody with it. Everybody would have a little fusion thing in their home and make their own energy. Right? And but that's not gonna happen. Right? So I I read where 11 of these scientists in the last few years have been killed who were adept with this fusion technology. So now we're talking about developing some sort of nuclear fusion for the you know, like you have in your submarines to try and get these data centers going so they have enough energy for the data centers because they're really fixated on collecting all the data on everybody, and that's the part of the Stargate project. So it's it's very strange that all this is happening, and these trillionaires, these billionaires are wanting to be in that that that position where they control the masses, you know, and they need population reduction because if they can make the population go down you remember the Georgia Guidestones, their objective was to have only half a billion people on the planet. And with a half a billion people, then you don't have everybody another seven and a half billion people using electricity. So they get to have all the electricity, all the energy, all the water that they want. Bill Gates buying up all that farmland and all. It's part of killing people, you know, with no food or bad food. With the Strait Of Hormuz, there's the farmers are not planting right now in the spring because they don't have the nitrogen for the fertilizer to be able to plant. So they're creating a famine. They're creating high food prices. They're also, as they're buying up all this farmland, they're after the aquifers. They're after the water that these family farms have and so that they can cool the computers in their data centers and all. So the system, the beast system is being built and we're watching it in our in our real time and to me, it's exciting because I'm a I'm a prophecy buff and I love to try and connect the dots on these things and so let's let's look at verse one of chapter 18. And after these things, the false religious system, you know, being destroyed. So, after these things, I saw another angel come down from heaven having great power and the earth was made bright with his glory and so this angel's been in the presence of god and he's shining bright. You and I are the light of the world but the light doesn't emanate with us. We are like the moon. We just reflect the light of the sun, the son of god, right? And so, the reflecting of the son of god and and he cried mightily and so the voices condemning. And he cried mightily with a strong voice saying, Babylon, and Zechariah five eleven says, Babylon be rebuilt. Babylon, the great is fallen. So it has to be rebuilt to fall. That's what I'm trying to get at. Babylon is being rebuilt right now. They're working toward rebuilding it. In Zechariah five, turn to Zechariah five. Zechariah chapter five. Zechariah five, one of things that are all through chapter five is the ephah, the ephah, the ephah, the ephah. The ephah is a unit of measure, and so unit of measure for the economy. Now down in verse 11, and he said unto me, this ephah, this money, and he said unto me to build for it a house in the land of Shinar. Shinar is Babylon. And it shall be established and set there upon its own base. So the idolatry, the rebuilding of Babylon chapter seventeen and eighteen and is being rebuilt and the bible speaks of it in Zechariah seven chapter five verse 11. So Babylon the greatest fallen is fallen. Now chapter 50 of Jeremiah and chapter 51 of Jeremiah speak of Babylon falling. Isaiah 13, Isaiah 14 speak of of what's happening in our chapter here and of of Babylon falling. It's gonna speak that Babylon will never be reinhabited. Well, hasn't happened, you know, throughout history. So chapter fifty and fifty one are prophetic to the tribulation period when Babylon's gonna fall having having been rebuilt. And that ties in with where we're at. So fallen has fallen and has become the habitation of demons. So, Babylon's gonna fall and what's going to be there after it falls and you'll see the picture of this in Jeremiah fifteen fifty one also is just a place throughout the millennium, the thousand year rule and reign. Babylon's gonna be there but it's gonna be a habitation for demons. And and the hold of every and nobody's ever gonna live there again after this, after it falls. And the hold of every foul spirit in a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. So when Jesus talks about the sower went forth to sow, he interprets for us what the birds are and what are the birds that fall on the wayside soil? Demons. The demons come and take away the seed, right? They take away the seeds. So, the birds are the word of god goes out and it falls upon a heart of a person but the devil comes and steals that seed away, right? The birds come down and take it away. So this is a place for every unclean and hateful bird. So the demons, the evil that's that's there's gonna be a holding compartment here, a place for these demons to remain for a thousand years. And the the antichrist and the false prophet in Isaiah thirteen fourteen, they drop dead in the street there at Basra and they're immediately cast into the Lake Of Fire. The devil is grabbed hold of and he's put into the abyss for a thousand years. And then he's loosed at the end of the millennium to tempt the people. And then eventually, the great white throne judgment of Revelation 20 and all the wicked dead are bodily resurrected after the millennium and they are gonna be incarcerated in the Lake Of Fire along with the antichrist, the false prophet, and and the devil. And so so this is one of the holding compartments. When we talk about hell, we have a word in the Hebrew for Sheol and we have a word in in the Greek and the New Testament, Hades, and Hades is a double compartment that we see illustrated in Luke chapter 16, a place of Abraham's bosom, a place Jesus described as paradise, but on the Gulf, across the gulf, across the other side, a divided compartment of the wicked dead who are awaiting awaiting being raised from the dead in Revelation 20 to appear before the great white throne judgment. He that ascended according to Ephesians four first descended and emptied out all of the Old Testament patriarchs that were waiting for the crucifixion, waiting for the blood of Jesus to actually pay for their sins. And so all of those old testament patriarchs, their spirits were taken out of Hades and they too are awaiting the resurrection of their body. Jesus being the first fruits of the resurrection. The first fruits speaks of more to come. So the sequential order would be the dead in Christ rise first, the church age at the rapture. And then after the tribulation period, you've got the resurrection of the Old Testament saints. The two witnesses already happened in chapter 11, and then you have the Old Testament saints also resurrect. That completes the first resurrection. And then the second resurrection is at the end of the millennium as I said of the wicked dead and and then they go to a place called the Lake Of Fire Gehenna Perpetual Burning. There's also another word in the in the Greek that Peter alludes to and Jude alludes to a place called Tartarus and then there's another place we talk about the abyss or the abuso or a holding apartment for some really bad dudes beneath the River Euphrates. So, god has his compartments. Now, interesting today when I was studying, I've been seeing this come up a lot now, a lot, a lot, lot, lot, lot. And when we're in Revelation chapter six and we see the rich underneath the ground and we know that there's a multi billion dollar industry building bunkers for the rich, right? But what I'm starting to come up to speed with as I'm watching Catherine Austin Fitch, she talks about 19 or so trillion dollars missing And she's speculating. She's saying she knows that our government, other governments have been building not only deep underground military bunkers but cities under the ground. So not just a bunker that you'd be in as Elon Musk or Bill Gates but an entire city underneath. And you can travel by rail, you know, up to Colorado and things like that. So she said enormous amount of money's gone into that building these underground cities all over the world. And the reason being, these guys know they're gonna have to go underground during the tribulation period. Right? Would you wanna be above ground? You know? So if you're gonna try and eradicate all the people above ground, you're gonna wanna be able to hide from them underground. Right? And so that's something to think about, different different places that people wanna hide. We don't need to talk about the Arctic and and all that over there, but a lot of lot of man on the moon stuff. So, greatest fallen has fallen and has become the habitation of demons. So, it's the antichrist's headquarters. Lot of wickedness happening there and so now the lord's going to say, alright, this is going to be the the spiritual headquarters, the spiritual capital, the spiritual prison of the all the fallen angels, the demons, the every caged bird, all the wickedness is going to wind up being there. He says, for all nations, all means all, have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And so the seduction, the fornication is idolatry. And in Isaiah thirteen one through five, there are Gentile armies, the consecrated, if you read there, that god is going to use to destroy Babylon and Gentile armies, consecrated ones are going to be the ones that come against the city and take it down. Like I said, and then the Antichrist has his seven kings. He has his own army but he doesn't turn backwards toward because he's in Jerusalem, doesn't turn backwards toward Babylon to go after whoever it was that did that but instead pours out his anger against the woman, against the Jews, and so he takes Jerusalem down at that time and and then the Jews have to flee to Basra and Armageddon, the Valley Of Jezreel begins to happen and the return of Jesus is happening. So things are gonna escalate and happen really quick as Babylon is is taken down. And it says, and the king so here we're gonna see some wailing. We're gonna see some wailing from the monarchs. We're gonna see some crying. Now they're not crying about people perishing. They're not crying about people going to hell. They're crying because they lost their money. They lost their wealth and it's it's it's a reality that's that's coming. So, you have the monarchs, the kings, the seven kings that are going to wail as in a moment when all their wealth, all that they built is is taken from them and then, you're going to have the merchants, all of the BlackRock, all of the Amazon, the the Elon Musk, all the technocrats that build this whole system and are making money off of drugs and pornography and goods and services and that prime truck that comes to my house every day and Amazon truck and all those goods and all that stuff and all that network of everything being sent all over the world and as in a moment, it's all burning to the ground and the third group is the mariners. The you got the sailors. You got the merchant marines. You got the people that captain those big, big container ships. And so Jackie Kennedy married Onassis, and he had a, you know, merchant ships to bring goods all throughout the world. And so enormous amount of money in those big huge container ships that go to this port in Seattle. They go in Long Beach. They go all over the world to bring all those goods that are made over in China to bring them, you know, into the port and then distribute them, everywhere. There's no more jobs. It's done. It's over. There's there's nothing left. So the first is these kings. And, you remember these kings, they're all they're thinking they're untouchables. They're thinking that nothing can touch them. And nobody can mess with the Antichrist. He's our hero. He's going to protect us and we're never going to lose our billions and billions and billions of of money that we've as James says, stored up for the last days, you know? So, the Black Rocks, the vanguards, the state streets, the Rothschild Syndicate, the city of London. Did you know that in London, there's a place called the City Of London that's a Rothschild city, a banking city that has sovereignty, the same way the Vatican has sovereignty as a nation. Did you know that? You have to check that out. And the Bank of International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland is the is presently the bank that all of the central banks, China, Russia and it might be part of this fight that's going on in Iran is because Iran is trying to sell oil in the yuan and some other currencies and all, and they're not making themselves available surrendering to the Rosh Chao banking system that's being put in place. So, in order for this new tokenized digital system to work, every single country needs to be on board. So when Saddam Hussein said that he was going to sell oil in the euro and Qaddafi and Saddam Hussein were trying to develop a new gold currency called the dinar, both of their countries were invaded and regime change took place. The bankers can't tolerate any rogue nations. So they will tell the world, Iran has nukes. Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction. They'll sell war to everybody, but the real issue is we've got a regime change, take over their banking, and we don't care if ISIS runs them afterwards. We don't care how destabilized they are afterwards. We have to get the banking part of it to be in, consolidated, and it's the Bank of International Settlements that has been sending out instructions for all of the countries with their banking system to get on board with the new banking system so that when they flip the switch, everybody's everybody's on board and that's part of the reason of the engineered implosion of the old system to bring in the new. So, all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the and the merchants of the earth are grown rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And so enormous profit. Jared Kushner right now is amassing a couple billion dollars just by moving around in Middle East with these countries, making deals with them for this Gaza project and all that they're gonna do in the Middle East. I mean, they're really pouring a lot of money into the Middle East right now to Golden Dawn's wanting to make Gaza a whole Riviera and Kushner and all of them. The Dubai guys, The United Arab Emirates, all of them, enormous amount of money to develop this region and and they know how to make money, don't they? And so, Isaiah or excuse me, Jeremiah fifty, thirty nine, and 40. Let me read that. That's it. I got it. Jeremiah fifty and fifty one describe the fall of Babylon, but we wanna look at Jeremiah fifty thirty nine and forty. Therefore, the wild beast of the desert with the wild beast of the coast and shall dwell there and the ostriches shall dwell in her and it shall be no more inhabited forever, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring cities saith the Lord so shall no man abide there neither shall any son of man dwell in there. So Babylon's gonna be uninhabitable after God does this with these demons and everybody taking them out and and the city and and through the abundance of her delicacies and I heard another voice from heaven saying, come on out of her my people. So there are Jews in Babylon and god's warning them ahead of time just as Jesus warned that when you see the abomination of desolation, don't even come down. You know, get out of Jerusalem during the tribulation period, the Jews that are there. The Christians that were in Jerusalem in seventy AD, he did that when they saw the Romans beginning to set up their seeds. They fled and they wound up living. But close to 2,000,000 Jews I think died in seventy AD when the temple was destroyed because they didn't heed Jesus telling them to flee. So the Lord's saying my people are gonna flee out of there and and that's in Jeremiah fifty six and eight where you see that the Jews are are fleeing. So, he says, I heard another voice, heaven saying, come out of her my people, that you be not partakers of her sins and that you receive not of the plague. So Babylon is a type of the world and we are to come out from the world and be separate, to be different, to have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. And so we definitely are not to, you know, love not the world neither things that are in the world. All that's in the world, the lust of flesh, lust the eye, the pride of life is not of the father but of the world, and the world perishes, and he that doeth the lust thereof shall perish. And so friendship with the world is enmity with God. It's it's fighting with God. And and so we we're not to love the world, neither the things that are in the world. And so all these things are seductive, and it's captivating people, and they're connected, they're, you know, they're even in from an occult standpoint and a drug standpoint. And as we're gonna see here, the pharmakia, the sorcery, there's a way that they've connected the people. The whole population is addicted to the pornography, to the sex trafficking, to the fentanyl or whatever it is they're using to draw these people in. And and they tie it in with worship. The worshiping of the beast is tied in with the occult seductive aspects. Part of it's physical, material, part of its spiritual, and and so behind it all, Paul said that which the Gentiles sacrifice until they sacrifice on the demons. So they think they're sacrificing onto a god but it's a little g god. They're really sacrificing unto demons. And so the merchants of the earth that have grown rich through the abundance of her delicacies and and I heard another voice from heaven saying, come out of her my people that you be not partakers of her sins and that you receive not her plagues. And so we're not to be unequally oaked together with unbelievers. We're to be separate from the world. For her sins have reached unto heaven and god has remembered her iniquities. So, the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah reached up to heaven, the sins of Nineveh reached up to heaven, and and even Jerusalem, a nation can be ripened under judgement where god says, finally, I'm I'm going to judge and so in the times of Noah, the thought and the intent of man's heart was only evil continually and repented god that he made man. There's a lot of murdering and violence and stuff going on in the earth and the sons of men. The angels left their first estate cohabitating with women. So, the end of the age is gonna be as it was in the times of Noah and as it was in the times of Lot in Sodom and Gomorrah. And and so they're they're they're basically ripened for judgment going all the way back to Genesis 11 with the Tower Of Babel and God confounding the languages and destroying their effort to in rebellion to God. And so he cast the people out with nation states to cover the earth and and I'm going to reward her even as she rewarded you and so and double. So, if you're going to steal in the book of Exodus, you know, chapter 34, I think it is, you know, then you're going to have to pay a double portion when you get caught under her double according to her works in the cup of which she has filled with all of her double so you're going to reap what you sow god's not mocked whatsoever man sows that shall he also reap it's an eye for an eye tooth for a tooth according to the law And so you wanna shed blood, the Lord's gonna cause the water to be turned to blood. You're gonna be drinking blood, eating blood, and and how much she has glorified herself. So pride, is this not great Babylon which I have built? Nebbe said, chapter four, Daniel, and then he's eaten eating grass for seven years, right? God resists the proud. He gives grace to the humble and they live luxuriously so much torment and sorrow give her for she has in her heart. I said a queen. You know, never going to be never going to be dethroned, never going to be thrown off her throne and then, no widow and shall see no sorrow. So she's basically delusional thinking this is going to go on forever that we're going to live till we're 140 years old and all. Jared Kushner and his generation he's boasting. And so what was the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah that the Lord judged them for? Idleness. Ezekiel sixteen forty nine, pride. They didn't care for the widows and the orphans. Right. Pride. Fullness of bread. What's that mean? They're full of goodness and all kinds of stuff. Fullness of bread. They're rich. They had a good economy. They didn't have to go out and work in the fields anymore. Right? Pride, fullness of bread, idleness because they were so affluent in the city, city life. Didn't have to worry about farm life. Right? Lot pitched his tent toward the the the grasp was good that way. He'd gone from being a shepherd to be a city dweller, right? Pride, fullness of bread, idleness, and they cared not for the poor and needy. And so that was the sin. And that's the same thing here is they're filled with pride. They're rich, fullness of bread, and they don't care about anybody but themselves, know. And so they're very delusional. Therefore, shall her plagues come in one day? And part of part of the Babylonian system is you got Nimrod, and then you've got Semiramis, and she's the queen of heaven. And so in this Babylonian system, or as you see in the Roman Catholic church, symbolism of the queen of heaven. So she thinks that she's a queen and no widow and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death and mourning and famine, and she shall be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord who judges her. And so the martyrs that are sitting beneath the throne in Revelation six and seven, they're wanting judgment. They're wanting God to come judge. Judge, Lord, judge. You know, how long, oh lord? How long? When are you gonna judge? When are you gonna deal with these guys? And I have to say the same thing is in my heart. I'm I'm just like, lord, come. Come. You know? Judge these guys. Stop this evil. Rule and reign with a rod of righteousness. We're tired of the corruption And and so so we we in Isaiah thirteen nineteen, Just like Sodom and Gomorrah, god's gonna judge Babylon. In Isaiah thirteen nineteen, he says, in Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beautiful of the Chaldeans, excellency shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. And so again, Isaiah thirteen and fourteen description of the destruction of Babylon and also Jeremiah fifty and fifty one. So gonna come down like Sodom and Gomorrah was. You're acting like Sodom and Gomorrah. God's gonna take you down. God took down Sodom and Gomorrah with fire and brimstone and never to be rebuilt, and Babylon's gonna be taken down and gonna be inhabited by demons, dogs, and cats, and the beasts are gonna be on the surface there, but uninhabited by human beings, no longer gonna be a prominent city. And so now we're going to see the monarch's cry, the weeping, the voices weeping. And the kings of the earth so there was 10 kings that started 10 toes in Daniel two, ten horns in Daniel seven, Revelation seventeen ten crowns, 10 kings, and so the 10 kings, according to Daniel chapter seven, three of them fight against the Antichrist and he defeats them and he becomes the eighth and and the other seven give over their sovereignty unto the Antichrist. So he's the global world ruler at this time but these guys are coregents with him in this form of government of imperialism that the world's been divided into these 10 regions. So president Trump is so fascinating. He's the gift that keeps on giving from Greenland all the way down to Venezuela, Cuba, the whole thing. He wants that to be, you know, the North American Union, they used to call it. And so, mean, what what amazing thing. I mean, the club of Rome map, the technocratic map, the world moving in a direction where, hey, you won't have to vote anymore, Christian. And so you're gonna have these kings. And you're gonna have these kings who are elitists, who think they're smarter than everybody, and they don't want people in a democracy voting anymore. They wanna be dictators that tell everybody, we know how to take care of you. We're gonna give you universal basic income. You gotta live in these cities, these smart cities. You can only go out of your house for fifteen minutes, but you can stay home all day and do whatever you want, be on the Internet, whatever. But you gotta have the mark of the beast. You gotta have the mark of the beast too. And you can't eat too many rib eyes, not too much meat. Bad for the environment. You gotta eat crickets and bugs and Bill Gates' false protein and stuff, and you gotta get the jab. And if you got three kids, one of them needs to be transgender. You need to do that. And so enormous kinda occultic demonic tyranny. And and what makes these kings cry? The loss of their wealth. Yeah. They don't care about people at all. They're psychopaths. And so the kings of the earth who have committed fornication, so idolatry, they've been idolatrous, and live luxuriously with her and so the the kings of the earth are and they've been connected to the false religious system. Remember, the woman rides the beast and so they allowed the woman, the false religious system to ride them. The two together, The religious system empowered by the political system to martyr Christians, to martyr people, the tribulation saints and all. People that don't Revelation 20 verse four who were beheaded because they refused the mark of the beast. With her her shall bewail her and lament for her when they shall see the smoke of her burning. So when they see the smoke, it's when the two witnesses fall, people are gonna be able to look at their phones. They're gonna look at Jerusalem, and they're gonna see these bodies lining the street. The Internet's gonna connect everybody in real time to watch what's happening. And these guys, some of them are gonna be afar off like in the Valley Of Jezreel and Israel. They're gonna see the smoke. Others are gonna be in the general area. Gonna see the smoke. The mariners with their ships are gonna be offshore. They're gonna see the smoke. Some commentators say that this very well could be from a nuclear exchange, a nuclear bomb just as in a moment it's wiped out. And so these these armies, these Gentile armies that develop in Isaiah thirteen one through five, they have armaments. They have ability to come against the Antichrist. Just as in the millennium there are going to be Gentile nations that are seduced by the devil at the end of the millennium to fight against God. So the Gentile leadership at the end of the millennium seduced by the devil as he's held in the abyss for a thousand years. He's loosed and he seduces these Gentile nations and apparently they have armaments to try to fight against the lord. Now, Joel chapter three, god is egging on the nations to take their swords or take their pruning hooks and their farm elements and build weapons because the lord says, bring it on because we're going to meet at Armageddon and so all these nations, all their armaments, all their stuff, the lord Jesus going to consume them with a sword of the mouth and the brightness of his coming and and Psalm two, he's just laughing at the plotting, the strategy of these globalists. They think they're gonna stop Jesus from returning and that they're going to wipe out Israel. God's going to protect Israel. One third remnant is going to be preserved. And so they're standing afar off with fear over torment so they don't want to go near it Saying alas alas that great city Babylon that mighty city for one hour is thy judgment come. And so the trade routes what about the trade routes? These guys are bankrupt. How are we going to move goods and services? And and so they're going to be the Antichrist armies are going to be gathering at the Valley Of Jezreel outside of Jerusalem and the Hill Of Megiddo, Megiddo, Armageddon, Armageddon in the battlefield there to go towards Southern Jordan to chase down for the Jews that are fleeing from Babylon, fleeing from Jerusalem, and and they're running for their lives to get away because the devil knows time is short and he's lost. He knows he's lost and now he's just gotta just intensify his hatred of god to try and take down the nation of Israel. And the merchants, so we see the cry of the monarchs. Now we got the cry of the merchants. And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn. When have you seen big strong sailors weep and mourn? When have you seen Bill Gates or Bezos or any of them be drawn to regretting anything? When have you ever seen a picture of Elon Musk or Zuckerberg or any of these guys weeping and wailing and mourning? You know? They're always what about Trump? Have ever seen Trump weep and wail and mourn? They're so arrogant that why would they weep and wail and mourn? The other thing is you have to ask, is it even possible for them? Because psychologically, they're narcissists, psychopaths. They can they can be around anything and not be moved emotionally, you know? But now for some reason, as they lose everything, they it definitely has got their attention. And and so they're they're in love with the things. They're in love with their position and their money and all that, and now it's gone. And so they they're not gonna be able to keep it anyway. You know, upon death they're going to lose it all. Nobody's pulling a U Haul trailer behind a hearse, know, that you don't get to take it with you. So the merchant of the earth shall weep and mourn over her for no man buys their merchandise anymore. So complete global economic collapse, no more goods and services from Amazon or flying stuff everywhere, moving stuff, keeping the economy going. Now one of the things they did to destroy the economy during COVID was they locked it down. They just locked it down. Goods and services weren't moving and and all over the world. Just a tiny bit, just a bit. And they put all the small people out of business or a high percentage of them. The same thing's happening with this next lockdown. They're gonna take this economy on its last leg. They're gonna lock everything down. They're gonna call it an an energy crisis and everybody stay at home and they're gonna collapse. Many of the people I'm reading, Catherine Austin Fitz is talking about that. And so that's how they're gonna roll out their control grid, the way that you're gonna get energy or food or like your pensions and all your monies. They're gonna reduce it like they did in Russia where the buying power to the dollar is gonna be gone. And rather than have a $100, you have 50 or only 25. So you're gonna have poverty. They're gonna bring poverty. And in that poverty, they're gonna have the solution, a universal basic income. And so you're not gonna have freedom. You're gonna have the freedom of retirement, the freedom of moving about like you want to. You're not gonna be able to move with cars. You're gonna have to take the public transit and cameras watching you. Now the good news for you and I, we're gonna be raptured. God's gonna take us home. So we're talking about the intense part of the beast system, the fruit. We might see the beginnings of some of these things, but but not like, for instance, you know the data centers and all that they're trying to build and all that? Many times the globalists attempt things, and then they get knocked they get knocked back. And right now they're getting knocked back in building these data centers in America because the people are waking up and don't wanna pay exorbitant energy bills. Our energy bills are skyrocketing because they want the energy. So the Rothschilds, all these the globalists are trying to get us to use less electricity so that the electricity available can go to those data centers and water. So back east is it's pretty bad apparently. So they're getting pushed back. They're getting pushed back. So the place that they won't get pushed back is in The United Arab Emirates because they're dictator of theirs. And so they're saying it's gonna take four or five more years now. Not gonna be able to do it as fast as they wanted to to implement, to actually get these data centers up and going like they want. They're trying so hard to get them going now because part of the whole economic system that they wanna roll out, the digital systems can be tied in with your REAL ID and the ability to track and trace and surveil a surveillance system is they gotta have in place. If anybody's violating anything, they need to listen and track and listen every you know, and record everything you're doing. So they need data centers because our god's omniscient. He knows everything. The devil's not. So they have to use technology. So so BlackRock, Amazon, Vanguard, State Street, all these different huge companies that are trying to bring about this beast system presently the Lord. It's going to happen right on time when the Lord allows it to happen. And so the merchandise of gold and of silver and precious stones and pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet. I mean, I don't have any of that. Do guys have any of that? That's how not how I roll. I got Levi's. And all fine and wood and all kinds of vessels of ivory. Oh, that's some heavy stuff right there. We're talking luxuries, right? Luxury items. How many thread is our sheets, honey? You know? I got I got silk sheets. Right? Yeah. I mean, I got the little balls of little balls on there. Got a wool I got wool sheets. And all kinds of vessels of ivory and all kinds of vessels of most precious wood and a bronze and iron and marble. Oh. These are these are for the rich, man. Are there really gonna be that many rich people that, you know, there's a demand for that kind of stuff? There must be. And if you're on the inside and cinnamon. So you think of the India, Middle East economic corridor, you think of cinnamon, spices coming down from India. Right? All the different spices from China and from India. And and cinnamon and incense and ointments. How much money spent on perfumes and deodorants? And skin stuff, right? And frankincense. Yeah. Hey, now that's that's Matthew two verse one. That's the wise men from Babylon, right? And they came to Bethlehem. They came to Jerusalem to worship the king of Israel, right? And because Daniel was in Babylon and Daniel was there writing prophecy, these wise men, these astronomers, they saw the the his star. They saw the star of Jesus, you know, and the Shekinah glory of god guiding them over the house two years later where he was but they brought with them a means of worshiping and the way they expressed worship was by bringing gifts and they brought gold, myrrh, and frankincense. Gold was for Jesus as a king, tax for a king, right? Or worship? Myrrh for Jesus as what? Myrrh. Spirial. Prophet. And incense. As a priest. Priest. Yeah. So prophet, priest, and king. And these these same sort of commodities and precious gifts are they're available. So cinnamon and incense and ointments and frankincense and wine and oil and the fine flour and wheat. Now, remember back in chapter six, when they're pouring out the seal judgments, the poor people have to eat barley and barley is the grain that's for the animals But people are so impoverished with the opening of the seal judgments. They have to work a whole day just to have some barley, some barley bread. But in Babylon, the rich, they've got all the luxuries and they got it all stored up their underground bunkers and everywhere. There's trucks go into these places delivering goods and stuff and so they're storing up as James says they're storing up for the last days. And so the wine and the oil and the flour and the wheat and the cattle and the sheep and horses and so they get to have meat. They're carnivores. They got wheat and bread and cattle and sheep and horses and then their chariots, their Ferraris, their Land Rovers, all their different types of vehicles. And then here's really sad. This is really sad. And slaves and souls of men. Oh man. Human trafficking. Pedophilia. Slavery is just the most heinous, heinous crime to do against another person. The Roman Empire in the time of Christ had 60,000,000 slaves. Paul said that he was freeborn, that he had right of citizenship because he was born with the privilege of Roman citizenship. Paul came from a wealthy family and the centurion he was talking to, he said, I obtained citizenship by a great price. You had to buy your citizenship And so 60,000,000 slaves with no rights. The owners of the slaves in in the time of Christ, time of the apostle Paul and all, Rome, the Roman Empire and power, you could be a slave owner at that time and have a pond filled with piranha, alligators, whatever you want. And William Barclay has some stories about those historical stories. And you could take your slave if you're mad and whatever and just throw them into that pond. No prosecution, they had no rights, they were looked at just being a purchased possession that you own and nobody could say or do anything. And also the trafficking of sexual little boys and girls, these wealthy people would have eunuchs, little boys that they've castrated simply for you know, their activity sexually, you know, as as homosexuals. And and so the human trafficking right now is just enormous. All over the world, in America, in Bremerton, in Seattle, in Portland, all the major cities. And as people get more and more impoverished and we become more and more like other countries, the parents will actually sell their young boys and girls to people that want to traffic them. And and then the the souls, the souls of men. So people have to sell their souls. And how tragic that is. I can't imagine my grandkids being subjected to something like that. And the pornography. All the different ways they make enormous amounts of money, billions and billions of dollars off the religion of of pornographic images. And so the worshiping of Aphrodite, the worshiping of Baal and Moloch, These statues were multi breasted and and they were fertility little g goddesses where they would come into the groves and they come together and they'd be drawn into a frenzy of chanting and freaking out and stuff and and then they would have their orgies and then they'd have their unwanted pregnancies and then in Psalm a 104, they would offer their sons and their daughters unto Baal with his arms outstretched and they would heat his arms up and heat him up and they take these little babies and they place them on on the arms and that's where Gehana is a perpetual burning outside of Jerusalem. There was so much idolatry and and sexual immorality that just right outside the city. They had in the area of Gehenna is the name of the Lake Of Fire. So a picture of the Lake Of Fire, Hinnom. And so Josiah would try and bring reform, king Josiah, and remove these groves and remove these things. And these these pedophiles, these sexual deviants, they would go up into the higher areas, know, the mountains and the trees and stuff to try and build their altars there and to exercise their their demonic religious system. And so the fruits thy and the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee and all things which were dainty and sumptuous are departed from thee and thou shalt find them no more at all and so I would consider myself extremely wealthy with the kind of food I still get to eat my whole life long. I've had sumptuous, dainty, good food to eat. No matter what time in my life, I've always been able to buy a burger, to buy you know, growing up, we had a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, but that seemed sumptuous. That seemed really good. There was nothing wrong with that. It was excellent. It was good food. Kathy and her family, they had lunch meat and things like that. Bronze walker, she tells me. You know, a lot of weird kind of stuff. Her mom would make her eat tuna tuna something whenever, and she's saying, oh, Lord, she's there. But but but, you know, I barbecued up the boys the other day and we had steaks. And I said to I said to someone, I said to him, maybe it's Cathy or whatever. I mentioned to somebody, you know, when I was growing up, I don't ever remember having steak. And the the adults had steak. But as kids, we had hot dogs and hamburgers and with cheese on it. We loved it. We never felt like we were doing without. And all the different ways that our moms and dads and our families, the food we eat, we we are are like these guys right here. What if our food source was taken away? What if we were reduced to just a bowl of rice? And we love rice, right? We love rice, but we get protein each week, and we get fruits and vegetables. And Kathy comes home with oranges and apples and all these I mean, I don't think we know how good we have it. You know? And all the chocolate and I mean, I think I just camp right here because we are Calorie Chapel, you know? We we love food. Right? I'm gonna camp right here. And if you feed them, they will come. Your church will grow. If you have a an agape feast after church, they will stay in potlucks. And I know the reason you guys come here on Monday nights is not for the Bible teachings, for the food Vicky, Vicky makes for you, you know? Church. And so you got the merchants, you got the monarchs. Verse 15, the merchants of these things who are made rich by her shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping, and wailing. That's just so hard for me to imagine. Are they that? Connected to their wealth that they're going to actually cry? I mean, I've lost everything. And and it was unjust. It was unfair, but I don't remember. Well, it hurt. It hurt. But it was it was harder because people around me started dying at the same time. And that that was the hard part. The hard part was there wasn't anybody to help us. And the people we that loved us the most started dying. But they have Jesus. They went to heaven. But the Lord the timing of it, the Lord wanted to narrow Cathy and I at that point in our life. The only one we could look to is the Lord. I I see what you mean. They don't have the Lord. Yeah. But they're so arrogant is what I meant. They're so arrogant like, what could ever bother them, you know? And now, it's been said that people who are rich in faith, the poor people are rich in faith. Only the rich jump out of buildings during the economic crash. So in in New York, when the stock market crashed, there weren't any poor people jumping out of buildings. It's the rich jumping out of buildings. So I guess it is true when they've the realization of their identity, there's identity is so wrapped up in what they own, what they have, that when that's taken, it's so embarrassing to be alive. They just they end it, you know? But the poor are rich in faith. We trust the Lord day by day. And like I was trying to illustrate in the in the sermon Sunday, my grandkids, oh my. Or at Christmas time, if I look at Tiny Tim. You know? I look at Scrooge and how he acts, but then if I look at, you know, Tiny Tim and the family there and they got a duck and they got this big meal and all. They're rich. They're richer than Scrooge. You know? Scrooge got coins, but he's just so miserable, you know? He's just, you know? And so, we have these, we have the riches. Now, also factor in Jesus, what kind of level of how much money did he have in the bank? You know, what did he own? And foxes have holes, birds there have nests, but the son of man has nowhere to lay his head. He he just spent the night out and camping. He he'd stay with people. Hey, Zacchaeus, I'm gonna come to your house and have lunch, you know? And he'd go and visit Mary and Martha and and Lazarus and have a meal and and but he he liked just in the Mount Of Olive area to go out there and just sleep, you know, put your sleeping bag down just. And couch surfing. Yeah. Yeah. Definitely. And so the rich by shall stand afar off for the fear of their torment. Weeping and wailing. And saying alas alas that great city that was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet and bedecked with gold and precious stones and pearls. For in one hour, so greater come to nothing. And so all these cross dressers are weeping and wailing. They don't have all their hip and cool, weird clothes and pearls they wanna wear and puff their hair up and and The nose ring. Yep. And now it's been said that hell is filled with unfulfilled people. God's made us with a vacuum, a god shaped hole in our heart. Jesus said, what's it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul or what would a man give in exchange for his life? So, he's designed us that the only way that our life can be fulfilling is with him. Amen. Not the things, not the stuff. Him. So hell is filled with people like Mick Jagger that couldn't find the satisfaction. Yeah. They they're unfulfilled people. And so, guy, I look at him. I can see him dressing in purple and scarlet bedecked with golds and man, look at the bling. Look at the bling. I don't have any bling anymore. And precious stones and pearls. I don't have any pearls. For one hour, so great riches are come to nothing. And every shipmaster, so now we have the cry of the mariners. We have cry of the the whole shipping industry, all the different port cities, and all the guys that take those with the cranes and put them on trucks and deliver them to the stores on the ground and all. All of that industry, it's over. It's bankrupt. And you know in the millennium you're not going to need it. The war of Armageddon is coming. Every every everything's ending right here. It's all over. And when we go into the millennium, you don't need any of that stuff. The lord is the lord's going to be the one that that takes care of all of us and you're going to have gardens and food and fresh food like Cathy says in Italy. You go to the farmer's market each day. You don't have to go to Costco. Go to the farmer's market and you get these brand new tomatoes that were just on the vine in the morning and here, there early enough, there it is, and fish that were caught that morning, you know? The freshness of good real food, you know, that's not genetically altered and manipulated and all and boy, wouldn't that be good? That's like medicine, right? And in Revelation twenty one and twenty two, the the leaves on the trees are medicine, right? But if we're ingesting poison and the stuff that Bill Gates wants us to eat, and all no wonder at this age when our immune systems get weak that we succumb finally to our body's been fighting and fighting and fighting our whole life, then finally we start to succumb to the toxicity in the culture in which we live and it's tragic. And so for one hour so great riches are come in and nothing and every shipmaster and all the company of the ships and the sailors and as many as trade by sea stood afar off. And so all the pirates are crying. They're just crying. They gotta take off their patches and they're just so bewailing and oh this isn't fair. And it says and they cried when they saw the smoke of her burning. Saying what city is like unto this great city? There's nothing like it. Look at it smoking. It's smoke on the water. Oh, man and Cheech and Chong are up in smoke. It's just, it's it's reefer madness. It's terrible. And they can't you guys must not have saw him cheek and chong up and smoking, didn't you? That's a funny spot. I can smell it. I can smell it. The smell doesn't go away. Alright. And cried when I saw the smoke were burning saying, what city is like under this great city? And they cast dust on their heads and cried weeping and wailing. I mean, these guys are undone. Man, I mean, I I definitely will wail when I lose Cathy, when I lose a loved one. I've wailed like crazy when we lose somebody we love but stuff can be replaced, right? Yeah. We can we can we can work and and work it out, you know? Yeah. It's just crazy. I can't imagine. It's just my identity is not wrapped. I've been tested in that stuff and my identity is not wrapped up in that. It but these guys, man, they are just I mean, they they they need a chill pill. They need something to calm down. So, they cast dust on their heads and cried and weeping and wailing saying, alas, alas, the great city in which were made rich. All that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness for in one hour is she made desolate and desolate. And so the second coming is near. Now we've got up in heaven. We've got a totally different picture. We've got voices celebrating. All these we saw the voices condemning, the voices crying, the weeping, the wailing, you know, and when you want me to get the whambulance, you know, do you what do you what do you want, you know? Yeah. Here, I'll play the violin for you. Just crazy stuff. And but here here's where you and I are. We can go to church and we can assemble no matter what we've gone through with the saints and we get to get our focus off of all the heartache and the reality of this life. How how much suffering there is and how difficult it is and and we as the righteous, the saints, we still go through great great sorrow, but we have perspective. We we come into the place of the Lord in Psalm 73, and we regain perspective because now our eyes are on the Lord and we begin to rejoice. We begin to sing. We begin to worship. We begin to meditate and think about the soon return of Jesus, and we're gonna be reunited with our loved ones that are in heaven that have gone there before us. And we're looking at the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great god and savior. We're no longer the young guys building houses and saying, I gotta buy more cars and more chariots and more houses and more land and more everything. We're the ones saying, lord, come quick. Come, quick. I've been there, done that. I already did all that and now, lord, my life is filled with sorrow because now you're taking my loved ones away from me and life is much much harder and lord, I I want to lord, I wanna be with you, you know? So, my dad when he was when he was sick, he was ready to go to heaven. He's ready. He wanted to go. He he wanted to go really bad. You know, he he went he went the right way and for him to stay, it would have been with us and he, you know, that's that's a cool thing but he'd been through so many different procedures and the sickness and all these different things. At this point, he was like, you know what? I'm really curious about heaven. I I I want to go. If it's my time to go and the doctor's saying I get to go because this is terminal and Jesus is saying I get to come home because he's he he's not going to heal me until I get home, then then I'm gonna go and my dad began to celebrate and rejoice and be excited about going to heaven, you know? And so I hope I'm have that kind of courage and and I hope the timing of it all is such that my family's in agreement and all. But I want it to be as just a moment, if Kathy were to be taken before me, don't want to live fifty more years. Want it to be, all right, Lord, Take me now too, you know? Let's go. Got the grandkids and that sort of thing but this life is but a vapor and it's very short to begin with. So, we have to have the perspective of heaven. So, rejoice over her, thou heaven and you holy apostles and prophets for god has avenged you on her. So, you got the saints, you got the 12 apostles, you got the prophets, the two witnesses and all and they've been killed, they've been executed, all the tribulation saints and people who have been murdered and all. And now they're rejoicing because it's almost over. The time of Jesus said the world's gonna see a time that it's never seen ever before, will never be again. It's a horrific horrific demonic time during the tribulation period. And thank God it's not a thousand years like Adolf Hitler prayed for, you know, the third Reich, you know. Thank God it's only a short seven year period of time, relatively short. So rejoice over her, thou heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets for God has avenged you on her. And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone. And we see Jeremiah fifty one sixty one and sixty three and mighty angel took up a millstone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea saying thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down and shall be found no more at all. So, Babylon is sunk. Babylon is thrown into the sea and will never get back up again and Jesus said in Matthew 18, if you stumble one of these children, it'd be better for you to put a millstone around your neck and cast yourself into the sea than to stumble one of these these little ones and so so the lord's protecting the world and the devil's headquarters, the devil's champions, a fallen angel, and Jeremiah 51. Jeremiah 51. Give you guys a break. 51, 61, and 63. Let's see what it says. And Jeremiah said to Sierra, when you come to Babylon and shall see and shall read all these words and, then shalt thou say, oh lord, thou hast spoken against this place, cut it off, none shall remain, And it neither shall only man beast but there shall, it shall be desolate forever. And it shall be when thou hast finished reading this book that thou shall bind a stone to it and cast it into the midst of the Euphrates. And thou shalt say, thus shall Babylon sink and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her and they shall be weary thus far are the words of Jeremiah. So, gonna sing. Prophesy to Jeremiah. There's a day where Babylon's gonna sink and never never rise again. So, thrown down and be found no more verse verse 21 And and the voice of the harpers and the minstrels and the flute players and the trumpets trumpeters shall be heard no more at all in thee. And so the all that's gonna be there is demons. Just demons and and beasts, animals there, but but no people, no music, no marriages, no weddings, no parties, no manufacturing. Just it's over trumpeters shall be there no more at all in thee and no craftsman or whatever craft it shall be shall be found anymore in thee so all the manufacturing all the trade routes all the stuff that was being built they're nuked it's gone it's over anymore in the and the sound of a millstone, no more grinding of bread and making flour to you know, grinding flour to make a bread and all. And lights out. Lights out in Babylon. And the lights of the lamp shall shine no more at all in thee and the voice of the bridegroom and the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee and you think of Jerusalem, you and I, the bride of Christ being joined to Jesus. The bridegroom's coming for us, the bride of Christ in chapter 19. Right? And Babylon's just truly doom and gloom, demonic. It's over. And but you and I have so much to look forward to the best is yet to come bride shall be heard no more at all in thee for thy merchants were the great men of the earth for by their notices they're sorceries so think of the pharmaceutical companies think of the hospitals, think of the whole industry of seducing, causing people to bring in people to the place of addiction where you're addicted to the drugs that they're giving out onto the streets. So we talk about the homeless and the homeless is a drug problem. Well, why are those drugs being distributed? Why are those drugs allowed in? Why are our troops in Afghanistan guarding poppy fields for the eventuality of heroin? Why? Why the proliferation of pharmaceuticals that the fentanyl So it's been said that if you get these inner cities and people all addicted to alcohol and drugs, then they're less of a threat to you. They're controlled in that way. But it's a miserable, miserable way to be addicted to something, a foreign substance like that. The sorcery, the pharmakia, the occult, the demonic aspects, much of the false religions there's a demonic pharmaceutical component, you know, the LSD going on trips, you know, alcohol with spirits or the drugs, recreational drugs and even pharmaceuticals. I know people that go through surgeries and then they're put on certain pharmaceuticals and they describe how they had terrible dreams that night. Well, these drugs are windows and these windows allow demons to come in, demons to torment people. I can't even watch horror movies. I can't watch scary movies. I've never been one that can do that stuff because I don't like to dabble or play with powers of darkness. I've never read Harry Potter. I had a nightmare when I watched Jurassic Park when I was 27. Big boys don't cry. I don't cry, but boy those things they're they're just not me. I'm not put together that way. Now I know people that are drawn to the alcohol. They're drawn to scary movies. They're drawn to horror movies. They're drawn to doing drugs and getting high and watching certain things, you know? That's not me. That's not what I want. I I like peace of mind. I like to be able to sleep and and Jesus said, my peace I give unto you. You know, I like having peace. The prince of peace. So, these guys are tormented. They're absolutely tormented. Therefore, by their sorceries, we're all nations deceived. So, deception, Jesus said, take heed that no man deceive you. We're living in a time of great, great deception. The AI technology, the blue beam technology, the pharmaceuticals and the occult and all the different ways that we're being where truth is under attack. Truth is constantly under attack. So I want to exhort you and I to keep it simple. Read your Bible. Keep it simple. Allow the truth of God's word to wash your heart and mind that you're in so much saturated and so much truth that the devil doesn't have time to deceive you with social media and the Internet and all the different lies that are coming. So many things you have to process, so many images, so many articles, so many things that you don't need to do. So today when I woke up, I studied, I read, several hours, you know, and then I went to the gym and I listened to pastor Chuck teaching on Revelation 18. I watched another guy teach on Revelation 18 And then I came home and I sat in a chair outside and and I read from Revelation 14 to 18 outside just sitting there with my bible. That's revolutionary, isn't it? And you know, it it it and now I'm here tonight. We're doing it again and it's gonna be a lot harder for the devil to seduce me with sorceries. Right? And to deceive me. So so if any man thinks he stand, take heed lest he fall. I know I need the lord. I I can't stand on my own past or what I knew from the past. I don't trust myself. So, I could've come in here tonight and I could've said, you know, I've taught Revelation 18 many times, you know, and I don't need to read and reread and keep reading. But it does something to me. It does something to me inside. It calms me and it it it's like nourishment and and then by faith, I step out in faith and I ask the lord, lord, please help me explain and teach this now and and he's so faithful. So, I wouldn't want to be a ringleader or a false prophet that draws people into sorcery and the occult, you know, a false prophet. And a lot of this stuff has worked its way into the church with the dominion theology and the new age theology and all the different belief systems that are moving in a direction of the people embracing sorcery. And so in her was found the blood of the prophet. So all these people, the blood, God keeps track of the blood, man. And all the clot shots, all the people that were jabbed, all the people that were deceived, the whole world was deceived by COVID. Whole world deceived. Big lie! They're taking the PCP test and taking a big long stick and putting it in your nose and going beyond the blood barrier there, right? And we're walking all sorts of trouble just from the testing trouble that people are having and the mRNA changing of your DNA. Know, these guys are really trying to play god with their pharmaceuticals, with their sorcery and all and deceiving people, you know. Just such incredible deception during that time and all of the governments of the world following a script at the same time, you know? Fascinating and I'm so thankful the lord gave us discernment and that we didn't fall for it. I'm so thankful to be surrounded by people that were willing to trust the Lord and not give in to the doctors that were screaming at you and not giving in to the employers that were threatening you, telling you you're gonna lose your job and all that. These people are using deception to try and to try and kill you and to also condition you to brainwash you for the next one. If we can get compliance, what percentage of compliance can we get? Know, Rahm Emanuel, a good crisis you know, you shouldn't let a good crisis go to waste. So the the Masons, the 33 degree, it's it's order out of chaos. They gotta create the chaos and to deceive the people, to sell them war, to sell them lies. So, in her was found and so so just remain simple. Keep it simple. Don't go beyond god's word. It's it's not complicated. Stay with god's word and pray over everything that you're being threatened with or being told. The days of going to the doctor and thinking they're god and just doing what they tell you are over. You've got to research. You've got to question. You've got to examine. Mean, death by doctor? Death by accident? Oops. How many people die in hospitals and stuff? So the Rockefeller pharmaceutical system, the medical system with the Rockefellers that took control of it, holistic medicine pushed outside, so many different ways to deal with sickness and disease and to prevent the problem. Doctor. Wallach, a guy that I followed for quite a while, he came out of the veterinarian, being a veterinarian. And when you're a veterinarian and you have a client that has a horse that's worth $6,000,000, you don't want that horse getting sick. So you're not reactionary. You're not responding afterwards to try and make a horse better. You are preventing sickness as much as you can. So, it's prevention. The thought of prevention but if you just go with the flow with these guys, you know what they're gonna do to you. So for by their sorceries were the nations deceived and in her was found the blood of the prophets and of the saints the tribulation saints and of all that were slain upon the earth. So they're responsible for the murder of the two witnesses and the tribulation saints and and you know, so you got the population, you got 8,000,000,000 people, half a billion people are dead by the time the seal and the trumpet, the bowl judgments, that's god pointing out his wrath. But a big part of genocide is what the University of Hawaii did a study for the twentieth century. We're in the twenty first century. In the twentieth century, they call it democide, where people die at the hands of their own government. Their own government. So in the twentieth century, two fifty million people, let's say, the University of Hawaii, the study, died at the hands of their own country. So the Vietnam War, how many? Sixty million deaths in Vietnam War. How many deaths in World War II? Americans died. And you add that up, then you you come to how many died in Vietnam when they went to communism? How many died in China by their own government when in the fifties when Chiang Kai shek was thrown under the bus? And in the West, the Rockefeller supported Mao, 60,000,000. So your enemy is your own government killing you, exterminating you. How many people did Stalin kill in implementing communism in Russia? Twenty, thirty million. How many just in Ukraine? 20,000,000 just in Ukraine. And what did he do? How did he do it? He starved them to death. Right? So how many Jews killed with Hitler in the world? The world involved in it, you know? 6,000,000 and gypsies and all, 15,000,000. So add that all up in the twentieth century, and these guys are the ones responsible. It's the global governmental system tied in with the religious system, tied in with the economic system, and these are as Paul says in Ephesians six, we fight not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers. These demons and the little G God of this world, the governmental leaders are puppets of them, you know? So, it's a spiritual battle but it's it emanates, it originates with the strategy of the wicked one. So in John 10, Jesus said, the thief comes not but to steal, to kill, to destroy. That's the strategy of the devil But I've come that you might have life and that you might have it more abundantly. So as I'm reading this, what I would warn, what I would caution is be very, very careful when politicians because this is the this is the political and economic capital of the world. In chapter 17, the religious. Be very careful when you see the politicians joining up with the technocrats, the built you know, the the globalist, the kings, so you join the kings, you join business. This is Rick Warren's three three legged stool. Join business with the religious and with the government. When you see those three coming together, working together, where are you and I as the church? Where do we fit in? Are we gonna join them? We're gonna join the government? We're trust them? Are we gonna join, you know, the technocrats do what they say as far as giving up our freedom for security? And so I think we need to be careful in the church to be wise as serpent, gentle as doves, and recognize how slick the devil is to get his stuff in. And I I don't wanna go I don't wanna believe these guys are real Christians. I want them to prove it. Jesus said you'll know them by their fruit. Know? I don't care that they know how to read the bible. I don't care that they pray at the White House. I don't care about any of that. I wanna see the fruit. Yep. Stop abortion. Defund abortion. You know? Stop Planned Parenthood. Show me. Stop the beast system. Quit taking away my freedom. Show me you're a believer. Right? If you you love Jesus then you should love freedom and stop destroying the dollar. So but anyway, they they know how to deceive an apostate church, a lukewarm apostate church that people who don't read their bible, don't know their bible, and can't question anything that's being done because they have no discernment. So alright. Well, let's pray. Father, thank you for this time tonight, and, Lord, I just pray that you bless our time as we fellowship. And, thank you, Lord. We get back on track. Thank you that Rob and Vicky are feeling better. Thank you that they host this bible study. What a huge undertaking, Lord. All the parking, the food, the logistics, everything, Lord. And as they need rest, Lord, we just we just thank you that you can give them rest and get them back up and going again. And thank you for the sweet time tonight that we got to we got on the spring spring day, lord. Meet in your name. So, bless us this week. Help us to get ready for Sunday and and Revelation 19 next Monday And, Lord, we know that your word, it goes out and it doesn't come back void. We praise your word goes forth that people's hearts and lives to be touched and changed. And, be with Linda. Heal her body. Help her with her sickness. Be with Teresa. Comfort Teresa and anybody else in the body who's suffering. Be with James as he continues to grieve with Sally over Sally, and help Christie, Lord. She's working so hard. Help her with her work schedule and her health and everything, And keep us all healthy, Lord. Be with Steven with the stroke and help Wayne and just help Bruce. Thank you for Bruce doing better, and just thank you for this little body of believers. Lord, what a joy it is to gather in your name. In Jesus' name. Amen.
