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)

The images of the quantum dot infrared tattoo, shown above, have been provided by Rice University, who partnered with MIT in developing this technology.  The research and development were funded by the Gates foundation.

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.

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)
