Countdown

I was just a little girl when NASA launched its first manned mission to the moon. I will never forget waiting, breathless in front of the television, counting down with NASA's control room for lift-off. Roughly three days later we found ourselves waiting and watching as the Lunar Module prepared for landing. No one knew what the astronauts would encounter!  Some scientists feared the Landing Craft would just sink into layers and layers of lunar dust and disappear.  Thankfully the astronauts found themselves on SOLID GROUND.   The rest is history.  Neil Armstrong marked the moment with these words:            
      "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

The excitement of those days has vanished.  We have tragically traded glory for shame.  One look at the world today brings to mind Jesus' words to the Ephesian church  in Revelation Chapter Two: 
​                 
"Remember therefore from where you have fallen; REPENT!"
For years now, a few brave voices, modern day prophets, have been 'blowing the trumpet', warning of impending judgment and calling for repentance. They have been ridiculed and marginalized. Despite degeneration and apostasy, the Lord has been patient, merciful and kind, desiring that none should be lost! 

Last autumn I  began to wonder, "How much worse can it get???"  Battles were raging over how many genders existed and which pronouns one might use in addressing those who considered themselves "non binary."  It seemed as though the author of confusion, the devil himself had been loosed for one final battle against all that is true and right and good. I find it difficult to imagine a more pointed way to insult the Creator of the universe, who made us in His own image,  'male and female.'   Henry and I wondered aloud: 

       'How long will God tolerate this kind of mockery?'  
                               'What could be next???'


Enter Covid 19.  The stage had been secretly, methodically set, and props were put in place.  A carefully planned and finely orchestrated global drama  ensued.  Besides costing lives, the Plandemic has unleashed famine, killed dreams, robbed human beings of freedoms and paved the way for an unprecedented global tyranny. Unless I am gravely mistaken,  another COUNTDOWN of sorts has begun.  I believe the fulfillment of the Apostle John's prophecy in Revelation 13 is at hand:

"The second beast also forced all people, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to have a mark put on their right hand or on their forehead.  No one could buy or sell without this mark.  This mark is the name of the beast or the number of its name.  Anyone who has understanding can fine the meaning of the beast's number.  This requires wisdom.  This number is the number of a man.  It is 666." (Revelation 13:16-18)

This is an artist's rendering of how the quantum dot infrared tattoo may be applied.  A bandage-like device is placed on the skin that is embedded with 400 micro-needles capable of transmitting both vaccine, as well as nano-particles of copper.  This will contain medical records, digital identification and proof of vaccination.
On March 26, 2020, Microsoft published a patent for a crypto-currency application.  I don't fully understand how it works, but it tracks and interprets the movement of humans.  The patent number for this app is:

                        WO2020060606
                                            (World Order 2020 060606)

The prophet Daniel, who was dragged into captivity to Babylon in 605 BC, was given a vision of the end times. The vision was so disturbing that he became weak and was sick for several days. He saw a man who quickly gained unprecedented power and control, fueled by the devil himself.  Below is the Easy to Read version of Daniel 8:23-25
"When the end is near for those kingdoms,
there will be a very bold and cruel king who will be very tricky. 
This will happen when many people have turned against God. 
This king will be very powerful, but his power does not come from himself
(it comes from Satan). 
This king will cause terrible destruction. 
He will be successful in everything he does. 
He will destroy powerful people, even God's holy people. 
This king will be very smart and tricky. 
He will use his wisdom and lies to be successful. 
He will think that he is very important.
He will destroy many people, when they least expect it.
He will try to fight even the Prince of Princes (Jesus).

But that cruel king's power will be destroyed,
and it will not be a human hand that destroys him."
Just read that last bit again!  The deceiving beast, the one Daniel calls a 'master of intrigue,' will be DESTROYED!

Revelation 19:20 describes his final demise:


"And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image.  These two were thrown ALIVE into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur."
​
Friends, it's time to fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith.  He has promised to be with us ALWAYS, EVEN TO THE END OF THE AGE!  He gives strength to the weary and his MIGHTY POWER is made perfect in our weakness.  Let us cast off EVERYTHING that hinders and RUN WITH ENDURANCE the race that is set before us.
Picture
The storm is coming.  Jesus says: 
"Not everyone who says, "Lord, Lord,' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven...on that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness!'" (Matthew 7:21-23)
                                   Do you know Jesus? 
                  DOES HE KNOW YOU???
                                  How can you be sure?
He wants us to be sure:
"Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the Rock.  The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but IT DID NOT FALL, because it had been founded upon the Rock."  
                      Lip service will get us nowhere. 
Jesus calls us to be DOERS of the Word, not mere hearers.
The Lord's warning to Israel, spoken through the prophet Jeremiah rings loud and clear to us today:
"Hear and give ear; be not proud,
for the Lord has spoken.
Give glory to the Lord Your God
Before He brings darkness,
Before your feet stumble on the twilight mountains
And while you look for light
​He turns it to gloom
And makes it deep darkness.
But if you will not listen
My soul will weep in secret for your pride;
My eyes will weep bitterly and run down with tears,
Because the Lord's flock has been taken captive."

(Jeremiah 13:15-17)

Stela's Dream:  Back to the Future

5/14/2020

PictureStela Suzanna Reitzug
This is our daughter Stela.  She spent the first 15+ years of her life in an orphanage in Shkoder, Albania.  In February of 2000, after Henry's medical mission to Albania (during the Kosovo war) we learned of an orphaned girl who had been praying for a Christian family to adopt her.  She was the first child to become a Christian in a Muslim orphanage and was suffering from persecution there.

The moment we heard about Stela, Henry and I knew instinctively that WE were the family she had been praying for.  By the time we received permission from her living, non-custodial grandmother (in July 2000) we had only four months remaining to complete the screening, paperwork and legal procedures required for an international adoption. Children sixteen and older are not eligible for adoption and  Stela would celebrate her 16th birthday on 3 January 2001. Time was short! Legal offices would close for several weeks over Christmas.  The chances of us 'ticking all the boxes' by mid December were slim! But by a miracle of God's grace, we managed to complete all the requirements and flew to Albania in November 2000 to complete the adoption. After a waiting period of a month, Henry flew back to bring our new daughter home.  

Picture
This is our first family photo, taken at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport when she and Henry arrived home from Albania.  We had a few days of "honeymoon" before the normal challenges of adjustment began.  Our mutual faith in Jesus carried us through some tough times.

Stela now lives in Colorado with her husband.  Early yesterday morning I was praying for them and the Lord brought to mind a dream she had several years after  arriving in the U.S.A.  Before her adoption, Stela was discipled by missionaries in Albania and arrived with a passion for the Lord and for His Word. 

It was October 2005 when Stela shared her dream with me. I sensed it was prophetic and had asked her to write it down.  This was a challenge for her, as she was still learning English!  She wrote it down and I tucked it in my Bible. 

Yesterday, when the Lord brought it back to mind, I wondered if I still had it in my old Bible.  Sure enough, there it was, a bit tattered, in the pocket of my NIV.  I had saved it! For the first time in almost fifteen years I read those words, which had seemed so strange.  The words and especially her drawing jumped off the page.  I knew I had to share it with Stela.  We spoke at length and  both agree the dream was given for such a time as this.   She has asked me to share it with you.  
Picture
Here is the transcript of the dream:
"In my dream I saw six soldiers with black uniforms.  They had guns in their hands.  I was at one place, with some people that I don't recognize in real life.  The soldiers came to us and they took us in captive in their place.  It was a small room that they took people in.  I saw the man that was in charge of the soldiers.  He was about mid 30s years old.  A handsome man.  There was a woman that was his right hand, writing things down, as his secretary.  He had a list that would call each of us.  I was one of them, in the list, and they called my name.  I went in that room, I saw the guy that was in charge of all the place, his secretary and other employment (I believe she meant employees) that worked for him.  They had a gift for me, but this gift it was secret and it would made me to feel good in a sense toward other people.  The shape was (here she drew a picture which I will share below)  The color was blue, they asked me to put it like that in my mouth, or to eat and to let them know that I eat or that it was on my mouth, but truly it was inside my pocket.  I had to lie, and it was a good lie, and they release me from that place or prizon.  You could say I took a train to some place.  I saw childrens activities all over the world this thing, or higher than anything you have seen in the world people had, it was a life with no sense.  The God of all creation was in a little room.  No one could hear and ignored that He was there because that blue mystiries thing had peoples' mind and will, by the attractive (I think she means attraction or attractiveness) of that. 

​The Lord of Creation is speaking to us but our ears and eyes are close to HIm.  Let people hear Him  He is coming and He is at the Door.  The Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. Jesus Christ. Amen."

Stela's drawing of the "blue mystiries thing"
When I saw her drawing of the "mysterious" thing in the dream it brought images to mind of something else I have seen quite recently:
Picture
This is an image of the Quantum Dot Infrared Tattoo developed by Bioengineers at Rice University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, funded by The Gates Foundation. It is intended to be used as an "immunity passport" and will contain health/vaccine records.  This image comes from an article in an Australian publication called TOTT News.

I will leave you to prayerfully draw your own conclusions.  As for me, I sense Stela has taken us "BACK TO THE FUTURE."  He who has an ear, let him hear.

                                       Soli Deo Gloria
