The Greek word translated as “pale” in most English Bibles is χλωρός (chloros) - the same root as “chlorophyll,” the green pigment in plants.In other passages, chloros is simply rendered “green” (e.g., green grass in Revelation 8:7 and Mark 6:39). Therefore it is more accurate to call this the Green Horse.

“And I looked, and behold a pale [green] horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”
Revelation 6:8

The Green Revolution: The Beginning of Abundance

This “Green Horse” era arguably began with what we now call the Green Revolution. The term was coined in 1968 by William S. Gaud of the U.S. Agency for International Development to describe the dramatic surge in agricultural productivity.

New high-yield crop varieties, combined with synthetic fertilizers, irrigation, and pesticides, transformed global food production. Global cereal production has grown approximately 3.5 times since 1961, while the world’s population grew about 2.6 times.

The Miracle Behind the Green Revolution - The Salt of Ammon

The single most important factor that drove the Green Revolution was the Haber-Bosch process - the revolutionary method of creating ammonia by pulling nitrogen directly from the air.

German chemist Fritz Haber first demonstrated the synthesis in 1909, and Carl Bosch scaled it to industrial production by 1913. Widespread adoption came after World War II, with massive expansion in the 1950s and 1960s. This process takes inert nitrogen gas (N₂, which makes up 78% of our atmosphere) and, under extreme pressure and temperature with a catalyst, combines it with hydrogen to produce ammonia (NH₃).

What Haber and Bosch achieved was nothing short of miraculous: they unlocked a virtually unlimited supply of nitrogen fertilizer from thin air. Before this breakthrough, farmers depended on limited natural sources like manure, guano, and crop rotation - which could never support the exploding global population.

Today, synthetic nitrogen fertilizers produced through this process are estimated to feed roughly half of the world’s current population (around 4 billion people). Without it, global food production would collapse.

Interestingly, the name “ammonia” traces back to the ancient Ammonites, a biblical people descended from Ben-Ammi, the son of Lot’s incestuous relationship with his younger daughter (Genesis 19:38). The Ammonites were a pagan nation that worshipped the god Milcom (often associated with Molech), whose practices included idolatry and rituals strongly condemned by God. The ancient name “Ammon” later became linked to “sal ammoniac” - nitrogen-rich mineral salts found near the Temple of the Egyptian god Amun (called Ammon by the Greeks) - giving us the modern word for the chemical compound that now feeds roughly half the world.

This invention is widely regarded as one of the most consequential in human history. It powered the Green Revolution’s explosion in crop yields - and in doing so, it became the engine of the “Green Horse.”

From Green Revolution to Green Agenda

What began as the Green Revolution, the miracle of synthetic ammonia fertilizers that fed billions, has now been followed by today’s Green Agenda.

In simple terms, the Green Agenda is the global push by politicians and organizations to fight “climate change” by rapidly shifting away from fossil fuels, promoting renewable energy, and cutting synthetic nitrogen fertilizers - the very foundation of the original Green Revolution.

Strikingly, whether by coincidence or design, one “Green” has followed the other. The first brought abundance. The second risks restricting it and potentially causing a worldwide famine. This sequence mirrors the prophecy: the rider on the Green Horse is named Death, and “Hell followed with him.”

“And I looked, and behold a pale [green] horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”
Revelation 6:8

The Strait of Hormuz Blockade: Real-Time Threat to Global Food Security

The fragility of this abundance is being dramatically revealed right now. Since late February 2026, escalating conflict between the United States and Iran has triggered severe restrictions and rival blockades in the Strait of Hormus, the narrow chokepoint through which roughly one-third of global seaborne fertilizer trade normally passes. As of late April 2026, commercial shipping traffic has plummeted more than 90–95%.

The Persian Gulf region (Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iran, and others) is a dominant low-cost producer of ammonia and urea thanks to abundant natural gas. These countries normally account for:

• ~29% of global ammonia exports

• ~36% of global urea exports (the world’s most widely used nitrogen fertilizer)

With the strait effectively choked:

• Middle East urea production has plunged an estimated 55–60%.

• Major facilities (including Qatar’s QAFCO plants) have curtailed or halted operations.

• Global urea prices have surged more than 50%, from around $450–480 per tonne pre-crisis to $700+ per tonne in recent weeks

History Rhymes…

In 539 BCE, the mighty city of Babylon sat confidently beside the Euphrates River, protected by massive walls and the deep waters flowing through its gates. Its people felt invincible - even feasting and partying the night Cyrus the Great of Persia launched his attack.

Cyrus ordered his army to dig channels upstream and divert most of the river’s water into swamps. The Euphrates suddenly became shallow enough for soldiers to wade through. While the Babylonians were distracted with their banquet, Persian troops quietly slipped along the dry riverbed, passed under the unguarded river gates, and seized the city with almost no resistance. Babylon fell in a single night.

History often rhymes.

Today we see a striking modern parallel. Ancient Persia (modern-day Iran) is once again at the center. The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is effectively “drying up” the critical flow of oil, natural gas, and especially ammonia and urea fertilizers that the modern world depends on - just as the Euphrates was diverted from Babylon.

This echoes a powerful prophetic image in the Book of Revelation:

“Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared.”
Revelation 16:12 (NKJV)

Whether literal or symbolic, the drying up of life-giving waters, representing abundance, prosperity, and the critical resources that flow through modern chokepoints like the Strait of Hormus, should serve as a serious warning to us all.

The Green Horse is riding. In just 70 years, the Green Revolution has produced a world of unprecedented abundance and prosperity - so much so that most of humanity is now spiritually feasting and drunk, completely unaware of the coming calamity.

“Belshazzar the king made a great feast for a thousand of his lords, and drank wine in the presence of the thousand… In the same hour the fingers of a man’s hand appeared and wrote opposite the lampstand on the wall of the king’s palace… And this is the inscription that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.”
Daniel 5:1, 5, 25

“Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin” is God’s verdict of judgment:

“You have been numbered, weighed, and found deficient - your kingdom ends tonight.”

More than a year ago, in January 2025, I published an article titled “The Meaning of ‘Image of the Beast’” just one week after Donald Trump’s inauguration. At that time, many people were caught up in euphoria, convinced that positive changes were coming, such as the harms of the experimental mRNA vaccines being fully exposed and the vaccines themselves being recalled. When I expressed a different view, I received a flood of hate comments from friends and followers. The backlash felt very similar to what I experienced earlier when I warned people that the COVID vaccines were genuinely dangerous, resulting in lost friendships and strained family relationships.

Unfortunately, the mRNA vaccines are still available on the market. You need to understand that this isn’t merely a procedural war at the FDA but it’s a spiritual war taking place right now.

First of all, let me just say that I am not a prophet, and these are nothing but observations. I have no agenda, I’m not paid (nothing behind a paywall, but thanks for the donations from my paid subs it kept me well in the last few years), so I can speak freely. I have no sponsors and I do not endorse any alternative health products. I’m not looking for engagement.

This is an outlet for me to express myself, and if you don’t like it, you must stop reading so you don’t lose your peace of mind. You can also decide that I am not a real Christian. To be honest, I never stepped into an “organized” church in 30 years since my teenage days because I felt really uncomfortable about it.

I will explain why at the last section of the article.

If you are not interested in biblical prophecies—or if you are a huge believer in Donald Trump’s “White Hats in control”, “Trust the Plan” or “4D Chess” narrative, my suggestion is to skip this article (trigger warning!).

*Trigger Warning* begins here

There are a few signs that suggest Biblical prophecy may be coming true right now.

First, Donald Trump is the first U.S. president with the name “Donald.” This name comes from the old Gaelic (Scottish/Irish) word Dòmhnall, which means “ruler of the world” (from words for “world” + “ruler” or “mighty”).
Jesus mentions “the ruler of this world” twice in the Gospels:

• John 12:31 - “Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.”

• John 14:30 - I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.”

Second, Trump is the first president to use phrases involving “safe” and “peace” in two major global campaigns, once in his first term and then in his return.

• During his first term, he often promoted the COVID-19 vaccines as “SAFE and effective.”

• In his second term, he established the “Board of PEACE“ (a new international group, chaired by him, focused on overseeing peace efforts like Gaza reconstruction, backed by a UN resolution in late 2025).

  

This echoes a Bible warning:
1 Thessalonians 5:3: “While people are saying, ‘Peace and safety,’ destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.”

Finally, this connects to the sixth angel’s second visit to the Euphrates River in Revelation, where the Euphrates River dries up to prepare the way for “the kings of the east.”

Everything that happened during the first visit of the sixth angel during the “SAFE and effective” campaign was a description of the microscopic realm. (Rev 9)

“Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them.” Revelation‬ ‭9‬:‭16‬

“Two Hundred Million” describing the army within the microscopic realm.

“For their power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm. Revelation‬ ‭9‬:‭19‬

Describing the nature of the harm.

“And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. Rev 9:5

They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months.” Rev 9:10

• Rev 9:5 and Rev 9:10, repeated twice not by coincidence, but describing the nature of the binary bioweapon created by the man named “Sickle”.

  

  • Rev 14:14-17 - Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, “Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

• The 5 months represent, in symbolic terms, the 150 days during which the entire human race was subjected to the flood. (Genesis 7:24 – “And the waters prevailed upon the earth one hundred and fifty days.”

“The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men.” Revelation‬ ‭9‬:‭7‬

“Faces of men”, describing the man-made nature of the binary bioweapon.

The Sixth Angel SECOND Visit

Now, the sixth angel’s second visit to the River Euphrates is to dry up the river.

Revelation 16:12: “Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.”

In the Bible, the Euphrates often symbolizes God’s provision of prosperity and life to people (both to the just and the unjust) in the world. This river is about to “dry up,” meaning that the prosperity given by God freely to all humans, good and bad, is about to stop.

In practical terms, this means that we are almost at the point of no return in the valley of decision.

Why I stopped going to organized church for over 30 years - A Very Personal Story

The video clip below reminded me of my teenage years when my college friends would drag me to organized churches. I remember going to different variations of it, some with more music and dancing, some louder, some quieter, some with priests, some with pastors. But in the end I never felt comfortable about it for various reasons.

For many years of my life I have been a lone Christian and never interacted with other Christians except having two pen pals (yes, I’m that old!) whom I interacted with from the USA, both of them over 60 years older than me—and they spent quite a bit of effort explaining Christianity to me.

Although I knew some important and often-used verses in the Bible, I have never read the Bible from page to page because I often see it as a laborious effort and it seemed really boring.

Around 2016, when I was older and when Donald Trump appeared on the scene, I became deeply engrossed in American politics because it shaped the world. Back then I predicted that Donald Trump would win the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, and I won a 500-dollar bet with a pharma colleague who thought I was absolutely nuts.

Believe it or not, I was also very engrossed in the “QAnon” phenomenon, and it absolutely contributed to why my nick is “Aussie17” (for those of you who know what it means, but I don’t want to explain it here). I could quote Q posts to people according to the specific numbers and stuff.

But sometime in 2020, after COVID started, I left my job because I could not travel (I was a pharma director with Japan–Asia Pacific responsibilities, and it required 75% travel), thinking that I would return to work in a few months… As the COVID travel requirements dragged on and on, and then the vaccines came out and dragged the fiasco even longer, I became depressed with life and almost suicidal because I could not work due to vaccine mandates and you should know by now what I think about the genetic experiment. I would scour through QAnon posts to understand what is coming next.

One day, when I slept crying and suicidal, I heard a loud voice in my head (for those of you who have experienced this, you know what I mean, but for those who have never, I understand that you might think I have a brain tumour, but I don’t).

Here’s what the voice said to me: “If you had put as much time into reading the Bible as you did reading, studying, and memorizing QAnon posts, you would be in a much better spot right now.”

The next morning when I woke up, I decided that before I die, I’m going to read the whole Bible at least once from start to finish. For a while I was reading 7–10 hours every day, going straight from Genesis all the way to Revelation.

Then someone told me I had read the wrong version, so after I finished, I thought, “Okay, just to calm my OCD—I don’t want to miss heaven because of the wrong Bible—let’s do the King James Version now.” When I finished that one too, the voice in my head came back and said, “Now compare: which one do you know better—QAnon posts or the Bible?”. Then I said, I know QAnon 10 times more than the bible. And then I said, “OK, I know what you are implying”.

Since then I’ve read the whole Bible more than 10 times (that was 4–5 years ago), and honestly I’ve lost count. Someone once told me a big Harry Potter fan read the whole series over 50 times cover to cover. So I’m determined to show I can do the same with the Bible. The entire Harry Potter books have over a million words, and the Bible is only about 60% of that length. If someone can love Harry Potter that much, then clearly I still haven’t read the Bible enough.

Now let’s get back to what I think about the video clip above.

I do not want to speak badly about other Christians or churches, or what they do, but this is simply what I think. If you believe that they are right and if it gives you peace of mind, more power to you.

This is all about understanding the difference between symbol and substance. God has always communited to us through symbols, descriptive languages, and also through dreams and visions. Symbols and descriptive languages are designed to be versatile because His words are eternal. Prophecies fulfil throughout different times and eras again and again until the Lord lays it to rest. If He desires it, He can lay men’s proverbs to rest but His words are eternal (continuous) until He decides otherwise.

Ezekiel 12:22 - “Son of man, what is this proverb that you people have about the land of Israel, which says, ‘The days are prolonged, and every vision fails’?” Tell them therefore, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “I will lay this proverb to rest, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel.” But say to them, “The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.”’

Many Christians today fail to understand the difference between symbol and substance. Many are worshipping and idolizing symbols while ignoring the substance. You can wear a wedding ring around your finger but if you don’t love your wife, what is the point?

“while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” II Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬

They are present in the body (visible) but absent in the Lord(the invisible), constantly looking at the things which are seen, but ignoring the things which are unseen.

2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Symbols are merely copy and shadow of heavenly things to come.

Hebrews 8:5 - who serve the copy and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For He said, “See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.

God wanted the pattern to be extremely accurate because it is His communication tool for mankind thats why He emphasized “See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”

All these symbols (patterns) have been fulfilled in Jesus Christ (the substance!)

Colossians 2:17 “which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ”

The Confusion of the Babylonian Christians

Once you get the difference between the substance (reality!) and just the symbol (patterns/outward appearence), you see where the mix-up started for the “Babylonian Christians.”

It began back in Isaiah 39. That’s when King Hezekiah got proud and showed the visitors from Babylon everything in the temple treasures.

Those treasures stood as symbols of God’s spiritual gifts— knowledge, wisdom healing, prophecy, and other blessings from the Holy Spirit. But Hezekiah focused on the shiny outward stuff instead of the true spiritual reality behind it.

Isaiah 39:2 “silver and gold, the spices and precious ointment, and all his armory”

The temple symbolizes His body, but the Babylonians saw only the physical aspect of the symbol. Because they saw the physical riches of the temple treasures, they loved them, took the treasures home, and plagiarized the treasures in their own image. In the prayer for Donald Trump mentioned above, my interpretation is that they are plagiarizing prayers to replicate a blessing (perhaps praying for a piece of land or oil in the Middle East that God has long abandoned because its symbolic purpose has been served).

The whole confusion stems from not knowing the difference between symbols and the substance, or between physical appearance and spiritual reality.

This started back in the days of King Hezekiah, and it’s still going on today.

There is nothing new under the sun!

Thank you for your attention in this matter!

The piece highlights over 110 complaints from service members alleging violations of church-state separation, condemning this as fundamentalist Christian indoctrination that undermines military cohesion and constitutional oaths.

What is Armageddon?

I don’t buy into the notion that Armageddon is a literal battle of flesh and blood. I believe it’s a spiritual battle, one waged for control of our minds.

The word Armageddon means “Hill of Megiddo.”
Megiddo means “a place of crowds.”

The Jezreel Valley, also widely known as the Valley of Megiddo or the Plain of Esdraelon, is a vast, fertile lowland in northern Israel that stretches approximately 20 miles east to west, from the foothills of Mount Carmel toward the Jordan Valley.

The name Jezreel derives from the Hebrew Yizre’el, literally meaning “God sows” (or “God will sow”). It connects to Matthew 13:30:

“Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, ‘First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into My barn.’”

This is the “crowded place” where the prophet Joel proclaimed:

“Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.” Joel 3:14

Crowded = “multitudes, multitudes!”
Valley of Jezreel = “Valley of Decision”

So… if there’s a decision to be made, what are the options?

Mount Carmel is the most strategic place during Armageddon because from the heights of Mount Carmel you can overlook the Valley of Megiddo (i.e., the valley of decision). Why? Because Mount Carmel is where two opinions are settled.

Mount Carmel is where Elijah challenged the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 prophets of Asherah.

“Now therefore, send and gather all Israel to me at Mount Carmel, and the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 prophets of Asherah, who eat at Jezebel’s table.” (1 Kings 18:19)

Mount Carmel is where Elijah challenged both sides (Baal and Asherah) and asked : “How long will you falter between two opinions?”

1 Kings 18:20-21
So Ahab sent for all the children of Israel and gathered the prophets together on Mount Carmel. And Elijah came to all the people and said, “How long will you falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” But the people answered him not a word.

By design or by coincidence, the name “Ahab” means “uncle” (similar to the U.S., i.e., Uncle Sam). Maybe this is pointing to the final fulfillment, the end of the end times.

Ascension is the only Way of Life. To ascend, you must not be dragged into the false, two-sided, bottomless pit below.

Neither left nor right. Neither Jews nor Gentiles.

Armageddon has been happening since Jesus was crucified (“It is finished!”), and since then He has been adding to Himself those who choose to ascend. These are the ones singing a new song before the throne.

New Song = New Way of Thinking
Redeemed from the Earth = Ascended (Redeemed from below)

In contrast, this is Lucifer’s Old Song:

PS: Due to requests I opened up commentaries again but please no “Left is Right”, “Right is Right”, “This is 4D Chess” comments.

That said, I want to offer a short note of encouragement. While spending time analyzing the New World Order and the surrounding darkness can build awareness, it’s crucial not to overlook something even more vital: ascending into the New Spiritual Order.

You can examine, analyze, dissect, and avoid the darkness as much as you want, but without the Light, you’ll simply climb out of one bottomless pit only to fall into another.

The New Spiritual Order is rooted in this powerful truth from Scripture:

If you read my earlier article, I discussed the King of the Bottomless Pit, “whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon” (Revelation 9:11). Though the King has two names, they refer to the same identity, one who leads all who have not yet ascended into the New Spiritual Order into a bottomless pit.

To one side of the political spectrum, he is known by one name; to the other side, by another, like a pendulum swinging left and right since the beginning of time. There is nothing new under the sun, as Scripture declares:

“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.”
(Ecclesiastes 1:9)

Today, the King of the Bottomless Pit is again manipulating minds by presenting himself as the solution to the problems of the political Left, and then, in a few years, he will appear under another name as the supposed solution to the problems of the political Right.

He is also known as the “Prince of the Power of the Air,” as Scripture declares:

Here, “air” symbolizes turbulence, the very essence of the bottomless pit itself.

Jesus, the Prince of Peace, on the other hand, arose amidst the turbulent storm and calmed the sea.

The Prince of Peace was not performing a miracle just to awe men with signs and miracles. Here, He was making a declaration: His spiritual order, one of perfect peace, was the mirror opposite of the turbulent “air” realm ruled by the Prince of the Power of the Air.

The New Spiritual Order heralded by the Prince of Peace.

The duality of the Prince of the Power of the Air is clearly shown in this Scripture: the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom (two sides of the pendulum swinging left and right), but we preach Christ crucified.

Why is preaching Christ crucified so important, and what is its profound meaning? Because at the very moment Christ was crucified and yielded up His spirit, He inaugurated a New Spiritual Order for all mankind. The veil of the temple, separating the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place, was torn in two from top to bottom, merging two distinct rooms into one single space. By removing the middle partition, a brand-new room was created: the two rooms became one.

“Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;”
(Matthew 27:50–51)

This truth is connected directly in Ephesians:

For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace.
(Ephesians 2:14–15)

At that very moment, a New Spiritual Order was established.
At that very moment, anyone who is in Christ became a new creation.
At that very moment, divisions dissolved: there is neither Jew nor Greek, neither slave nor free, neither male nor female, all are one in a brand-new creation in Christ Jesus.

This is the New Spiritual Order of Melchizedek: one that appears without genealogy, without father or mother, eternal and untraceable by human lineage (Hebrews 7:3)

This is why the Gospel is called “Good News.” The word “gospel” comes from the Greek word euangelion (εὐαγγέλιον), which literally translates to “good news.”

The establishment of the New Spiritual Order, when completed in Jesus, heralded a new beginning, to which He uttered: “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.”

Now, we simply rest for a little while as we wait for the rest to be “killed” (crucified with Christ) and reborn into this New Creation.

We are not called to fight the battles raging below—to fix or renovate the current political, social, medical, or monetary systems into some improved version. Not a single iota of these man-made systems will ascend to heaven, it is only for those who choose to ascend in Christ. No piece of gold, silver, Bitcoin (the currency of the right), fiat currency, or CBDC (the currency of the left) will ascend. If you place your hope in these any kings or systems from below, you have not ascended to the New Spiritual Order and you will only end up in disappointment, lose your peace and be tossed up like waves by the “Prince of the Power of the Air”.

Only the new creation in Christ endures.

P.S. OK I opened up the comments again but please no “left is right” or “right is right” political commentaries.

After I quit my pharma job when the COVID vaccines came out, and after seeing how governments around the world locked people out of their livelihoods, censored them for warning about the harmful mRNA vaccines, and so forth — I started reading the Bible for the first time in my life, from Genesis to Revelation.

Then someone told me I was reading the wrong version, so I read through different versions from page to page.

I had no income for five years and didn’t take a single cent from social welfare. All I asked was that God would keep us fed, sheltered, and clothed.

Five years later, here I am, still fed, sheltered, and clothed, and not working in Babylon.

But I believe I am working for God by being a “watchman” to the Truth.

Ezekiel 33:2-6:

“Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: if when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.”

Unfortunately, in current conventional wisdom, the truth is safeguarded by “peer review” instead of by faith from the Holy Spirit. Academic institutions and government agencies have captured a version of the truth, and many are infected by a disease called “dull of hearing.”

Hebrews 5:11 “Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.”

But to my friends who can hear: be of good cheer. These things are all designed by God from the beginning of time.

You’re not called to “win an argument” in Twitter, or to convince evil to be good.

We have long crossed the point of no return and God has separated the tares from the wheat.

Revelation 22:11 “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.”

I’ve read through different versions of the Bible more than ten times from Genesis to Revelation.

It changed my life greatly. I’m thankful that I figured this out not too late in my life.

That’s it!

Merry Christmas to all! 🎄

The last article that I wrote (“The Meaning of Shinar”) invited a lot of angry messages from people who felt I was ignorant—that the earth is flat—although that wasn’t the message of my article at all (it was just a one-liner that I used to convey a point). And you have no idea how many hate messages I receive for being against the mRNA vaccine and talking about Christianity at the same time. It’s the reason why sometimes I go off Twitter and off Substack for a period of time.

Anyway, here it goes, and you do you if this message resonates or not.

I had a vivid dream on the morning that Charlie Kirk was assassinated (around 4 a.m. in Melbourne). In the dream, it was dark, and it was at night. People were on the streets, and everyone was anxious and “counting down.” I asked a stranger, “What are people counting to?” and one of the people replied, “We have three hours left.” There was panic and fear everywhere.

When I woke up from the dream, I looked at the news, and they said Charlie Kirk had been shot. I tried going back to sleep but couldn’t. I checked the news shortly after, and I saw Donald Trump’s post that Charlie Kirk was dead.

“We have 3 hours left” - The Number 3 and connection to Darkness.

I have been pondering what it means for the last two days—specifically what was told to me: “We have three hours left”—and here are the connections.

When Jesus was crucified there was three hours of darkness over all the land.

Matthew 27:45
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.

The number 3 also appears in the Old Testament during the 9th Plague of Egypt, in relation to darkness.

Exodus 10:21–23
And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt. And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days: They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

It also loosely connects to Revelation 8:1: "And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour." This 30 minutes of silence can symbolize darkness, as heaven is the source from which divine light emanates.

Revelation 8:1:
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

Darkness in connection to the Day of the Lord.

The Day of the Lord is a time of darkness, not light.

Here are all the verses that connects Darkness to the Day of the Lord.

Joel 2:1-2
Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.

Joel 2:31
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.

Amos 5:18
Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.

Amos 5:20
Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

Zephaniah 1:14-15
The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness.

Isaiah 13:9-10
Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

Matthew 24:29
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.

Acts 2:20
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come.

Revelation 6:12
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.

There was a great earthquake…the moon became as blood.

Also, note that during the period of darkness, the moon turns to blood, as described in Joel 2:31 and Revelation 6:12. When this happens, the sun turns black and the moon becomes like blood, causing the whole earth to appear dark and blood-red.

Acts 2:20
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come.

Revelation 6:12
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.

Earthquake signifies the shaking of foundations. When foundations are broken, trust is lost. The foundation of these United States is built on the principle of the right to free speech, the power of open debate, and the belief that through honest disagreement, a stronger path forward is forged.

However, when words are met not with reason or counterargument but with violence—when murder becomes the response to a lost debate—trust, the foundation, crumbles (i.e., a great earthquake).

Upon the broken foundations of the earthquake, under a bloody moon, the Red Horse and its rider emerge. The Red Horse and its rider have the power to take peace from the earth, and people will kill one another.

Revelation 6:4
And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

Charlie Kirk’s suspected assassin, Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old from St. George, Utah, appears to be someone heavily indoctrinated by the Red Horse, which I wrote about here two years ago. It is worth studying the Red Horse of Revelation in detail. You can read about it here.

In short, if you have not read about it, the Red Horse requires you to comply with its ideology (indoctrination), or it will kill you. It does not debate or reason. It comes from the same spirit as the people who force vaccinations upon everyone. Take note of the word “indoctrination” and “doctor” which shares the same ancient Latin root docēre which means “to teach," "to instruct," or "to show.”

Indeed, one of the biggest medical calamities in the world has been led by people with the title "doctor" in their name. Of course, I'm not saying all of them, but mainly those with huge financial gains.

The meaning of the name "Charlie Kirk”

The name Charlie Kirk carries symbolic meaning as well.

Charlie, a diminutive of Charles, comes from the Germanic karl, meaning “free man”. Kirk, rooted in Old Norse kirkja and carried through Scots English, means “church.” Together, they evoke “free man’s church.”

While I don’t fully resonate with all of Charlie Kirk’s political views and interpretations of the scripture, he was a vocal advocate for individual liberty and free speech, which aligns with my values.

I believe his assassination marks a spiritual “turning point” into Darkness (i.e The Day of the Lord).

Final Message

The safest place to be during the Day of the Lord is to be separated and to rely on the “light from within” (read the Red Horse article mentioned above).

1 Peter 1:16
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

The word “Holy” means separated.

Drink not from the lukewarm and unclean waters of the two rivers of Shinar. Those who drink from Shinar can be identified by the fruits that they bear.

Galatians 5:19:25
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit

We are approaching midnight before the Bridegroom returns. The door will be shut soon; take heed that you have oil to light the lamp from within the house.

Matt 25:1-13
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

1 Thessalonians 5:2
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

2 Peter 3:10
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Shinar is known as the plain between the Tigris and Euphrates, is named for its place amidst two rivers, a fertile land where human ambition took root. Here, men gathered to build a monument to their own glory, a tower whose top might reach unto heaven.

The word Shinar means “Country of Two Rivers”.

Just as our body craves food and water to satisfy hunger and thirst, the soul longs for nourishment through information and knowledge. Rivers symbolically represent information and knowledge, which explains why we cling to and become addicted to Twitter and various news sources to fulfill our soul’s needs—validation and information. Wearing my pharma hat, whenever you read something that confirms your beliefs, your brain releases dopamine, creating feelings of happiness.

For example,

• if you believe that the mRNA vaccine causes damage, you seek information to validate your belief, such as reading Aussie17’s Pharmafiles (lol!).

• If you hold that no viruses exist, you turn to Tom Cowan or Stephen Lanka’s videos on YouTube.

• If you are convinced the earth is flat, you likely join the Flat Earth Society.

• If you trust the ketogenic diet to solve many health problems, you search for Eric Berg’s videos on YouTube (I like his videos by the way!).

• If you believe Kamala Harris will save the world, you will watch CNN and MSNBC.

• If you believe Trump will save the world, you look for MAGA “Connect the Dots” and “Trust the Plan” related posts.

• If you are certain Bitcoin or a certain crypto coin will skyrocket and make you a millionaire, you seek videos from [insert crypto influencer here] explaining why it will soar.

I am not disparaging any of the above; I am merely emphasizing and explaining the meaning of “river” in the Bible symbolically. Rivers are information that our souls thirst for, and we draw them from social media, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and more. It quenches the age-old curiosity of mankind that began with Eve when Satan tempted her to eat the apple. It is pleasant to the eyes, and it makes one wise!

The two rivers of Shinar, flowing side by side, bear a deeper meaning for our time. Do they not mirror the divided streams of our world? In every nation, we see two systems—left and right, liberal and conservative—vying for men’s attention. The left promises salvation through progress and reform; the right through tradition and order. Each claims to be the path to truth, yet their strife fills the earth with discord.

In the land of Shinar, every tongue is confounded, and they do not comprehend one another’s speech. We speak not of mere differences in language here. Though they semantically utter the same tongue, no soul understands its fellow any longer. You may have experienced this when you tried to explain to another person that vaccine mandates or any mandated medical intervention is bad. Yet, the other side will think you are crazy.

Mankind collectively has become utterly confused. The name Babel, from which this tower takes its title, Tower of Babel, signifies confusion, for the Lord confounded their speech and scattered them abroad. Babel comes from the Hebrew word balal (בָּלַל), meaning “to confuse”.

Are these rivers truly distinct, or do they flow from a common source? Scripture unveils a sobering truth. In the Revelation of Jesus Christ, we read of the locusts from the bottomless pit, who “had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon” (Revelation 9:11).

Two names, yet one king. So too, the left and right—a singular spirit, a Uniparty of deception. Though called by different names, they serve one master, leading humanity not to God but to the confusion of Babel.

The political left and right, though they appear as two, converge in the plain of Shinar, where pride holds sway.

Consider the confusion and strife that they sow:

• If you criticize vaccines, you are called an antivaxxer.

• If you question Israel, you are branded an anti-Semite.

• If you challenge Islam, you are accused of Islamophobia.

• If you doubt face masks, you are deemed anti-science.

• If you oppose Donald Trump, you are said to have Trump Derangement Syndrome.

• If you oppose Kamala Harris, you are accused of being a racist misogynist.

Name-calling stems from a single source, the spirit of mockery, and I am convinced it does not come from the Holy Spirit.

Make no mistake, the left and the right are the same. Some call it the uniparty. In the United States, they are known as Democrats and Republicans; in Australia, we call them Labor and Liberal.

In the Bible, he is known as the king of the bottomless pit, “whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon” (Revelation 9:11). He has two names but is of the same identity, leading all into a bottomless pit of confusion and destruction. These labels, hurled from both sides, are but the modern tongues of Babel, dividing men and obscuring truth.

Why a bottomless pit? Because these arguments between the left and the right will never end. At the end of the day, neither side will have peace of mind, and if you do not have peace of mind, you are not following the Prince of Peace.

Ascension is the only way of life. This is why, in Revelation 12:12, there are three distinct groups: heaven-dwellers, inhabitants of the earth, and inhabitants of the sea. One from above, two from below. The only ones who have peace of mind are those who have ascended—the heaven-dwellers. The inhabitants of the earth and sea will descend into a bottomless pit.

This is not some afterlife fact. The heaven-dwellers are those who have overcome and escaped the uniparty system. If you keep drinking from the waters of the River Shinar, you will not have peace of mind. This is why these days I spend less time on Twitter and Facebook. Read the Bible instead. It is the River of Life given freely. It is clear as crystal (no confusion!). To emphsize again, Ascension is the only Way of life.

I am just a messenger boy, and I will share what I see. God calls us "witnesses" rather than "debaters." Jesus reminded His followers not to be upset by those who do not accept them. When He says to "shake off the dust from your feet," it means you shouldn't let their words bother you if they don’t want to listen to you.

The “Truth” is often offensive to everyone who does not love God absolutely. By loving God absolutely, it means to love what He loves absolutely and to hate what He hates absolutely. There is no middle ground. There is no accepting the lesser evil.

Many Christians today are embracing what He hates and tolerating what He loves. If you do not understand this, then you do not believe that God is Omnipotent (i.e. Absolute).

The second thing about this post is that I have no hate towards any man. I hate their deeds and doctrines. Jesus hated whoredom but loved the whore. We should all hate sin but love the sinner. This doesn’t take away God’s wrath and upcoming vengeance upon those who sin.

When I first rejected the COVID vaccines many years ago and tried to explain my reasons, I was immediately labeled an anti-vaxxer without justification. A few years later, I informed a friend that I could no longer support Donald Trump because he frequently refers to himself as the "Father of the Vaccine." As a result, I was labeled with "TDS"—Trump Derangement Syndrome. Similar to how my friends in the pharmaceutical industry distanced themselves from me after rejected the mRNA vaccine and became an "anti-vaxxer," some of my friends on the right side of the political spectrum also stopped communicating with me because I was deemed to have "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and did not idolize Trump as much as they do.

Both of these labels come from the same spirit.

I do not harbor any hatred for Donald Trump. I don't know him personally, and he may very well be a decent person who genuinely believes he is acting in the best interests of the USA. In fact, I felt a sense of cathartic joy when he won the US presidency because, if you know me, I strongly oppose wokeness which I believe is the “Black Horse of Revelation”.

But I am simply telling you a prophetic scenario that he is fulfilling or helping to fulfil.

Project Stargate

The Stargate Project is a significant $500 billion AI infrastructure initiative announced by President Donald Trump on January 21, 2025. It aims to maintain American leadership in artificial intelligence by establishing a network of data centers across the U.S. This project is a collaboration between tech giants OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank, with initial construction already underway in Texas.

Notable tech entrepreneurs leading this venture include Sam Altman (OpenAI), Larry Ellison (Oracle), and Masayoshi Son (SoftBank). The Stargate Project is expected to create hundreds of thousands of jobs and advance AI applications across various fields, including healthcare.

Larry Ellison, Oracle's chairman and chief technology officer, emphasized the potential of AI and Project Stargate in transforming cancer detection and treatment. He explained that AI can enable early cancer detection through a simple blood test by identifying cancer fragments in the bloodstream. After a tumor is gene-sequenced, AI can be used to design personalized mRNA vaccines tailored for each patient, which can be produced robotically in about 48 hours. Ellison highlighted that this approach could facilitate rapid, individualized cancer treatment, stating,

I believe this to be peak sorcery.

"And the light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore. And the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all nations were deceived." Revelation 18:23

The word Sorcery in Revelation 18:23 is translated from the Greek Word “Pharmakeia” which means “the use or the administration of drugs” or “poisoning”.

AI = The “Image of the Beast”?

In the world of technology, the term “image” often refers to files that contain an exact copy of a storage device's data, which includes its file system, files, and metadata. In Revelation 13:14-15, the phrase “image of the beast” is used instead of simply calling it “the beast.” Every single word in the Bible has a purpose; there are no mistakes or accidents in its language.

The "Image of the Beast" represents the extensive collection of humanity's data, essentially the internet. Every thought process, piece of history, interaction, experience, and even the entire human genome is stored online—it forms a complete"image" of all mankind. It is a culmination of all of humanity's knowledge and experiences.

However, this image currently lacks life as it is simply static information. What we are witnessing with AI (Artificial Intelligence), which I prefer to call “Artificial Life,” is the process of "giving life" to this image of the beast. This means that, as AI evolves, it begins to imitate human-like qualities, thoughts, and behaviors, effectively breathing life into the vast amount of static data that represents human existence, which leads it to “speak” (“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak”).

The Number 666

The number 3 signifies wholeness. For instance, when we consider time, we refer to the past, present, and future—these three dimensions define time. In terms of space, we measure breadth, width, and height. Matter exists in three states: gas, liquid, and solid. Wholeness is defined in three dimensions.

God, the Tri-une consisting of the Father, the Holy Spirit, and the Son, who is, who was, and who is to come.

"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End," says the Lord, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." Revelation 1:8

"The city is laid out as a square; its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand furlongs. Its length, breadth, and height are equal." Revelation 21:16

Man’s number is 6, as he was created on the sixth day of creation. The three sets of the number six (666) signify mankind’s complete maturity and separation from God.

The Beast of the Earth

Revelation 13 describes two Beasts. It starts with the Beast of the Sea, which has power for 42 months. After this, the Beast of the Earth appears. I have written about the Beast of the Sea and its mouth in another article, where I also explain the meaning of the 42 months. You can find that explanation below.

Here is the symbolic meaning of the second upcoming beast, the Beast of the Earth.

Revelation 13:16 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

“Two Horns like a Lamb.” The phrase "like a Lamb" signifies that it is “like a savior.” The Beast of the Earth will serve as a savior for two opposing religions (i.e., the Two Horns). On that day, the two religions will become friends, whereas previously they had been enemies, as shown in Luke 23:12 when both sides came together to oppose the Truth (Jesus!).

"That day Herod and Pilate became friends—before this they had been enemies."
Luke 23:12

The Beast of the Earth will bring fire down from heaven in front of people. This “fire from heaven” represents “judgment.” Many people today are seeking catharsis because of the criminal actions of the first beast (the Beast of the Sea). They will be deceived by the Beast of the Earth, which imposes judgment and offers catharsis to many.

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

Judgment or vengeance is a dangerous thing to seek. In Romans 12:19, the Lord specifically instructs us not to pursue vengeance.

I believe that humans are ill-equipped to handle vengeance because it is such a toxic emotion. When we seek revenge, we often act out of anger, hurt, or pride, leading to a cycle of negativity that can escalate beyond our control. Thus, the Lord says “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay”.

Also, note that in Revelation 7, when God sealed His people, the tribe of Dan is missing.

This is because the tribe of Dan represents judgment.

"Dan shall judge his people as one of the tribes of Israel." Genesis 49:16

It is a bad idea to “judge” Sodom on the Day of the Lord because God will destroy it all. If you stay back and judge these people, you will be part of the city that is burned to the ground. This is so important that Peter categorized busybodies together with murderers, thieves, and evildoers.

"But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people's matters." 1 Peter 4:15

We should not become “busybodies” in the conflicts between the people of the earth and the people of the sea. It is other people’s matter. The safest and most strategic place to be is in a higher position, taking up our citizenship in Heaven and being a witness from above. This doesn’t take away your responsibility as a witness to tell the world what you see. This is why the voice said, “Come UP here!” instead of “Come here!”

"After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, 'Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.'" Revelation 4:1

In Revelation 12:12, three distinct groups of people are mentioned: those who live in Heaven (citizens of Heaven), the inhabitants of the earth, and the inhabitants of the sea.

"Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time." Revelation 12:12

To emphasize this point further, in Genesis 19:1, Lot was sitting at the gate of Sodom. The symbolic meaning of sitting at the gate is "to judge."

In ancient times, “sitting at the gates” meant being a judge or a leader in the community. The gates were important places where people gathered to talk and discuss issues. Judges would sit there to listen to disputes and make decisions about what was right or wrong. This made the gates a key spot for government and justice, as leaders were visible and accessible to everyone.

The word “Donald”

The word "Donald" has a symbolic meaning. Donald Trump’s name can signify two different things. In 1 Corinthians 15:52, it is stated that at the last “trump,” the dead shall be raised incorruptible. This probably signifies the last stage of separation during the harvest.

1 Corinthians 15:52:
"In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."

In the article below, I explained the separation during the harvest.

However, we must be careful putting idols in the temple of your mind. The word Donald means “Ruler of the World”.

John 12:31:
"Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out."

John 14:30:
"I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me."

John 16:11:
"Of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged."

For final emphasis, this post is not about Donald Trump as an individual. He may be a good person who could end up in heaven; only God knows. God might be using him as an instrument in the final separation between the wheat and the tares.

Take heed not to sit at the gates of Sodom on the day of the Lord.

"And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months."
Revelation 13:5

The numbers “10” and “100” represent wholeness. We use them to count, measure, and show completeness. We have ten fingers, we talk about top 10 lists, and we often think of things in groups of 10. When we take an exam, a perfect score is usually 100%. If you are a math geek, you call this a “base-10 (decimal) number system”, and it is believed to have developed because humans have ten fingers.

However, in biblical times, the number “7”, rather than 10, was used to signify completeness. God rested on the 7th day. When Jesus spoke to Peter about forgiveness, he instructed to forgive "up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven," instead of saying to forgive ten times or a hundred times, emphasizing the symbolic meaning of the number “7”.

Today, when we talk about half, we use the term 50%, which means 50 out of 100, or simply, one-half. However, in biblical times, the concept of half wasn't necessarily thought of in terms of percentages like we do now. If the number 7 symbolized completeness, then half of that completeness would be represented as 3.5 which is half of 7.

The meaning of 42 Months or 3.5 Years or 1260 days

Seven years equals 84 months (since 7 times 12 months equals 84). Therefore, half of that period, which is 3.5 years, is equivalent to 42 months, or 1,260 days (because 42 times 30 days equals 1,260).

Also, in the bible, the phrase "a time, times, and half a time" is used interchangeably with 42 months or 1,260 days.

In biblical literature, "a time" typically signifies one year, rooted in Hebrew tradition, where a "time" signifies a complete cycle of seasons. "Times" (plural) is generally interpreted as two years. Therefore, when combining a time (1 year), times (2 years), and half a time (0.5 years), it totals 3.5 years, equivalent to 42 months or 1,260 days.

The terms 42 months, 1,260 days, and "a time, times, and half a time" in Bible prophecy aren't meant to be exact measurements of time. Instead, these numbers represent "half a period."

To grasp this concept, think about halftime in sports: In an NBA game, halftime occurs after two quarters; in soccer, it happens at the 45-minute mark; in American Football, it is after the second quarter of a 60-minute game; and in Australian Rules Football, halftime takes place at the end of the second quarter, around 40 minutes into the game.

Beyond sports, we can apply this idea to other contexts, such as a US presidential term. In U.S. politics, a president can serve two terms, so "half-time" would mean serving one full term.

There are seven instances in the Bible where 1260 days, 42 months, or a "time, times, and half a time" are referenced. They all appear in the Book of Revelation and the Book of Daniel, thus connecting the two prophetic books together.

Again, using a sports analogy, all these passages all describe the first half of a game.

Revelation 11:3: "And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth."

Revelation 11:2: "But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months."

Revelation 12:6: "Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days."

Revelation 12:14: "But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent."

Revelation 13:5: "And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months."

Daniel 12:7: "Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished."

Daniel 7:25: "He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, shall persecute the saints of the Most High, and shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half a time."

The Fake Mainstream News Media

All the verses above are, again using a sports analogy, a halftime commentary on a two-part game.

With that, let’s examine Revelation 13:5 more deeply.

Revelation 13:5: "And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months."

During the first half of the game, a beast emerging from the sea was granted a mouth to speak great things and blasphemy, which means spreading lies.

The "mouth" represents communication, symbolizing the mainstream media as a propaganda tool. It was given a mouth, meaning it was empowered to spread a mixture of truth and lies intended to cause confusion. Deception only works because it combines some truth with falsehoods, rather than being made up of outright lies. This mix makes it more difficult to recognize and, therefore, more misleading and it ultimately ends in "death”. This is why God instructed man not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which represents a mixture. You can read about it here:

Regardless, the "mouth" was given a loud voice (“given authority” and "speaking great things") that could be heard everywhere—in gyms, public spaces, airports, bars, restaurants, and so forth. It was truly pervasive. Some of us noticed its uniformity and sensed something was amiss, as it spoke in unison below:

The word "blasphemy" originates from the root word "blaptō," meaning "to hurt, harm, or injure."

In the past few years of the COVID pandemic, individuals who challenged the mouth’s "safe and effective" message faced various harms and injuries. These included job losses, estrangement from friends and family, exclusion from churches, hospitals, and other organizations, and damage to their reputations.

They were often portrayed as bad people for not wanting to "save grandma and grandpa." Ironically, these individuals did not suffer any physical harm from the experimental COVID vaccine itself.

As I mentioned above, the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation are connected. The same beast with ten horns appears in Daniel 7:7, mirroring a similar description in Revelation 13:1.

In Daniel 7:7, the beast is described as having “great iron teeth”. This can be interpreted metaphorically as 'iron gates,' symbolizing imprisonment. Anyone who existed within the beast's system could not speak(i.e. relied on the beast for employment and livelihood), as their voices were imprisoned by the beast with its iron teeth/iron gates.

Those who managed to escape its iron gates and speak were stamped (harmed and injured) by the feet of the beast.

What’s next?

As we near the end of 2024, we find ourselves at a crucial juncture. The verses previously mentioned represent the first half of a period during which the "Mouth was given authority."

The second half is about to unfold, marked by the diminishing authority of the Mouth, as trust in mainstream media has reached a critical tipping point.

For the first time in history, a Gallup poll indicates that those who fully trust the mainstream media have become the minority.

An Admonition

The second half of the game is about to unfold, and we should remain watchful. Those who escaped the first beast will soon face a dilemma sharper than the current one, posed by another beast. The next beast will come with two horns “like a lamb”, subtly suggesting it is "like a saviour."

"And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified."
Revelation 11:8

Typically, the cities Sodom and Gomorrah are mentioned together. However, in the Book of Revelation, Sodom and Egypt appear instead. Why is this the case?

The answer lies in the symbolism of Sodom and Egypt. These two locations share a common theme: captivity.

In contemporary times, especially since the deployment of vaccines in 2020, the phrase "corporate capture" has gained prominence. This term highlights the increasing public awareness of the close relationship between pharmaceutical companies and health regulators worldwide, often marked by a revolving door of personnel.

The employees of these captured agencies act according to the interests of their paymasters. It's not just the senior executives who are compromised; even the funding for these regulators is drawn from the industry.

The Meaning of Sodom

In Genesis, when Lot and Abraham parted ways, Lot chose the land that was rich in resources, being well-watered everywhere. Abraham, on the other hand, relied on faith by letting Lot decide which land to take, “If you take the left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will go to the left."

Lot did not see the wickedness of the residents of Sodom because his heart and mind were focused solely on the resources of Sodom.

Sodom symbolizes abundant resources and, in contemporary terms, "financial independence." Lot's wife, distracted by her attachment to her financial independence, looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt.

The Meaning of Egypt

On the other hand, Egypt is a place where the Lord freed the Israelites from the house of bondage.

Bondage equates to captivity, signifying a condition of being bound or subjected to external control, usually involving restraint, oppression, or coercion. In modern terms, it can be likened to the expectation, "If you work in my organization, you must embody the values of my organization."

In the last three years, the King of Egypt said, "If you want to work in my organization, you must be fully vaccinated because I believe that this will save Grandma and Grandpa!"

Many employees (i.e. slaves) in Egypt faced a difficult choice because they had intense cravings to the luxuries Egypt even though they are fully aware of the captivity.

In contemporary terms, they are saying, "What about the mortgage for my house and my car, and what about the education for my children? Who is going to put meat on the table for my family? We cannot rely only on the Word of God (i.e., manna)."

Egypt signifies a voluntary captivity driven by the desire for security and the luxuries it offered, which in today's terms corresponds to “job stability”.

The Truth Will Set You Free

In summary, Egypt symbolizes captivity by choice, emphasizing the pursuit of job security over Truth. Sodom, on the other hand, represents captivity by imposition, highlighting the quest to preserve financial independence above Truth. Prioritizing anything over Truth ultimately leads to captivity.

These are places where our Lord (the Truth) was crucified (Truth being sacrificed in the pursuit of job security and financial independence).

The bride (the Church) will be tested and retested until she places the Lord at the forefront instead of prioritizing her personal security and luxury.

This marks a transition from "My beloved is mine, and I am his" to "I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine."

The Test of Garments is a narrow gate, and only a few will find it!

"I COUNSEL YOU TO BUY FROM ME GOLD REFINED IN THE FIRE, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see."
Revelation 3:18

The verse "I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire" is unique because it's the only instance where Jesus requests a type of transaction. In a transaction, you must give up something in order to obtain something else.

To understand what you are giving up, you need to know about the symbolic King of the Bottomless Pit, which is explained in the article below.

As I mentioned in the previous article, Satan’s goal is to occupy the Temple of God (you!), that is, to occupy your heart and your mind. It started all the way from Genesis when he tempted Eve to consume from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil which is a mixture of Truth and Lies.

Attention is a limited resource. There was a time before the invention of the internet and social media when information wasn't pushed on us as aggressively as it is today. Now, your attention—essentially your heart and mind—is being captured at an ever-increasing rate! (because he knows his time is short! Rev 12:12)

Today, everyone holds strong opinions or judgments on at least one current topic in the world. These topics include, but are not limited to, the U.S. Presidential Election, ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, developments in the medical field, social justice issues, and climate change and more.

I’m not even sure if the human brain is capable of handling such information overload. It has reached the point where people form judgments and take sides simply by looking at a meme.

This is the nature of the King of the Bottomless Pit as the smoke the arose out of the pit will darken the sun.

The sun is acts as a guiding light for human, you cannot see at night. But now, the smoke (i.e. too much information, truths mixed with lies) has covered the sun and everyone is confused about what exactly is the truth. Of course, if you ask them, they are almost certain of anything despite being blinded by the smoke.

A funny message from my friend:

The preceding verse says “ ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’ is not about material wealth. It is the illusion of certainty. For example, some people believe that the genetic vaccines are 100% “safe and effective”. But on another side, some people believe that the vaccines are 100% embedded with tiny robots.

I am not talking about the vaccines, I am simply using this as an example because of my pharma background. I am emphasizing the symbolic meaning of Rev 3:17. "I have need of nothing" means thinking you don't need more information because you believe you already know everything and have made your judgement.

The solution: “I counsel you to buy gold from me”.

Jesus told the Laodiceans, "I counsel you to buy gold from me." When you buy something, you exchange your currency for the purchase. Here, the currency is your limited attention. Are you using your currency to acquire the right things?

"Gold refined in the fire": When something is purified by fire, it becomes free of impurities. Be careful not to invest in anything impure (a blend of truth and lies) from the King of the Bottomless Pit.

This message is to “Laodicea”. The name "Laodicea" is derived from the Greek "Laodikeia," which can be broken down into two parts: "laos," meaning "people," and "dike," meaning "justice" or "judgment." Therefore, "Laodicea" roughly translates to "people's judgment."

Take heed not to participate in judgments with a crown made of impure gold. Doing so will lead to confusion. You will recognize it because the outcome will be the loss of your peace of mind.

Your peace will be taken away because you'll spend all your limited currency/attention debating one or more of the following topics.

Satan wants you to fall in the Field of Sharp Swords, divided (12 from Benjamin, 12 from David).

Instead of falling down divided, God's desire is for you to ascend together into the throne (12 + 12 = 24).

Revelation 9:11
"And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon."

A king’s name is mentioned in Revelation 9:11. To the Hebrews, he is called Abaddon, and to the Greeks, he is called Apollyon. The significance of having two names for the same king is this: he presents as two distinct identities depending on which side you are on. It is actually the same entity with the same agenda.

This king is reflected in our political system as the Left and the Right. The Left believes that the Right is wrong, while the Right believes that the Left is wrong. However, what they fail to realize is that the force behind both the Left and the Right is the same entity.

GIVE US A KING!

"Divide and conquer" is a strategy used to gain and maintain power by breaking larger groups into smaller, more manageable units. This approach allows those in power to control these smaller groups more easily by creating divisions among them and preventing them from uniting against the authority. In ancient Roman times, conquered peoples often accepted their subjugation willingly as a result of this strategy.

Angel of the Bottomless Pit

This king is also known by the title “Angel of the Bottomless Pit.” The “Bottomless Pit” represents an ongoing argument between these two differing viewpoints. Issues like vaccine mandates, freedom of speech, gun laws, carbon taxes, CDBC create a never-ending presidential debate that distracts you from the Truth (Jesus!).

I am not claiming to define what is right or wrong. Each of the topics mentioned above contains a mix of Truth and Lies. You can explore more about this here.

Amidst the cacophony of arguments between the Left and the Right, who has the time to immerse themselves in the Scriptures? Who possesses the opportunity to truly uncover who God is?

The Angel of the Bottomless Pit derives his power from the “air.”

The Prince of the Power of the Air holds your thoughts captive, forcing you to choose between the Left and the Right. Your thoughts, much like molecules floating in the air, keep bouncing back and forth between these two sides, preventing you from finding peace. The arguments presented are designed to lead you into a “bottomless pit.”

Elijah said to all the people, “How long will you falter between TWO opinions?”

James refers to this person as a “double-minded man,” who is tossed by the wind, unstable in all his ways (i.e., a double-minded man who is subjugated by a double-named King). This instability makes it impossible to find true peace(Jesus!).

It is not about Central Bank Digital Currency (which leans Left) or Bitcoin (which leans Right). The Kingdom of God will not be built on the foundations of zeros and ones. It is not about gun control, as there is no violence or need for self-defense in the Kingdom of God. It is not about carbon taxes. As Matthew 22:21 states, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

Satan will endorse or oppose abortion as long as he can take over your mind. Abortion itself is not his ultimate objective. Instead, his goal is to position himself as God within the temple of God, which is you.

Our Prince, The Prince of Peace

The opposite of the “Prince of the Power of the Air” is our Prince.

His name is called “Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

My message is this: if you do not have peace in your mind, you are not following the Prince of Peace (Jesus!).

If you find yourself troubled by the debates and the arguments surrounding them, you are not following the Prince of Peace (Jesus!).

September 11, 2001 - The Sickel Gained Power.

September 11, 2001, also marks the time when Fauci, referred to as the "Sickle," gained power. Following the attacks in 2001, Dr. Fauci, as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), broadened his focus to address bioterrorism threats, particularly in response to the anthrax attacks that occurred shortly after. These events prompted him to lead initiatives in research, vaccine development, and public health preparedness, setting the stage for the global medical calamity we are experiencing today.

PS: This article was inspired by my friend Dr. Mathew Maavak, who shared his thoughts on 9/11. We discussed its biblical significance and implications. Ever since I left my job in the pharmaceutical industry in 2020, I’ve been living like a hermit and stopped paying attention to calendars. So when I woke up this morning and realized it’s 9/11 here in Australia, I couldn’t help but chuckle.

Matthew 13:24-30:

"Another parable He put forth to them, saying: 'The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”

The Parable of the Tares, describes a farmer who sows good seed in his field. However, an enemy secretly sows tares among the wheat. As the plants grow, the tares become evident, but the farmer decides to let both grow until the harvest. and then, the tares will be separated from the wheat and burned.

Tares are often identified as "darnel," specifically "poison darnel." Poison darnel, also known as Lolium temulentum, possesses toxic properties that can affect the nervous system. When consumed, it may cause symptoms such as dizziness, imbalance, nausea, and impaired vision and speech, resembling a state of drunkenness. These symptoms indicate its intoxicating effects12. Allow me to don my "PharmaFiles" hat: the primary mechanism of its neurotoxicity is linked to the presence of a fungus, Neotyphodium, which produces alkaloids that are toxic to humans and animals, as discussed by Al-Sa’idy et al.

The mind-numbing effects of poison darnel, or tares, cause individuals to lose the ability to reason and discern. When faced with conflicting information, they may, like drunkards, resort to labeling others as "conspiracy theorists" or "antivaxxers" to achieve cognitive closure. This is the complete opposite of what Isaiah spoke: “Come now, and let us reason together.”

Isaiah 1:18

"Come now, and let us reason together," Says the Lord, "Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool."

and…

Isaiah 6:9-10
And He said, “Go, and tell this people:
‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand;
Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’
“Make the heart of this people dull,
And their ears heavy,
And shut their eyes;
Lest they see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart,
And return and be healed.”

In psychology, the term "cognitive closure" was coined by social psychologist Arie Kruglanski. “Cognitive closure” refers to the human tendency to seek definite answers and eliminate ambiguity. This psychological concept is characterized by a desire to reach conclusions quickly, sometimes at the expense of accuracy or thoroughness. People with a high need for cognitive closure prefer clear, predictable situations and may become uncomfortable with uncertainty or complexity. This can lead to impulsive decision-making and a tendency to stick to initial conclusions even when presented with contradictory evidence345.

Don't get me wrong, cognitive closure occurs on both the left and right sides of the political spectrum. This is why the narrow path in the middle is the hardest to follow.

Matthew 7:13-14

"Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it."

Proverbs 4:27

"Do not turn to the right or the left; Remove your foot from evil."

Encouragement

You may feel discouraged today when you look around and see many mind-numbing tares surrounding you.

Matthew 13:30

"Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, 'First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.'"

Tares and wheat look identical when they are not fully ripe.

When the harvest of the earth is ripe, the sickle will appear to reap, as described in Revelation 14:15.

Revelation 14:15

"And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, 'Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.'"

Has the sickle appeared? Whether by design or by coincidence, the name Fauci is derived from the Sicilian word for "sickle," and we know that many people with “intoxicated” minds have blindingly followed him.

In Hebrew, Armageddon means "Hill of Megiddo," with Megiddo translating to "A Place of Crowds" (i.e., containment).

Armageddon is not a battle of flesh and blood but a battle of mind and spirit where everyone in the world is contained and tested. In the Book of Revelation, it is described as a TEST OF GARMENTS.

In other words, if you’re not wearing the right garment, you’re going to be in trouble!

Revelation 3:4-5 You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their GARMENTS; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes shall be clothed in white GARMENTS, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

Revelation 3:18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white GARMENTS, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.

Revelation 4:4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in WHITE ROBES; and they had crowns of gold on their heads.

Revelation 6:11 Then a WHITE ROBE was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.

Revelation 7:9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with WHITE ROBES, with palm branches in their hands.

Revelation 7:13-14 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?” And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their ROBES and made them WHITE in the blood of the Lamb."

Revelation 16:15 “Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his GARMENTS, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”

Revelation 19:8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in FINE LINEN, CLEAN AND BRIGHT, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

What is the Test of Garments?

To understand the Test of Garments, you must understand Ahab’s story (Spoiler alert: he wore the wrong garments!)

Ahab is the 7th king of Israel. The number 7 is important because God completed His work in seven days. And it appears like God is finishing His work soon.

Genesis 2:2-3: "And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done…

The connection from the book of Revelation to Ahab is via Jezebel, Ahab’s wife.

Revelation 2:20 Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.

1 Kings 16:30-31 Now Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord, more than all who were before him. And it came to pass, as though it had been a trivial thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians; and he went and served Baal and worshiped him.

The story of Ahab represents a prophetic scenario that is unfolding in the world today. The name "Ahab" means "Uncle."

The word “Uncle” is most famously associated with the United States ("Uncle Sam").

Ahab and Naboth’s Vineyard

1 Kings 21:1 And it came to pass after these things that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel, next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

Ahab’s palace was located next to Naboth’s vineyard. The name "Naboth" means "Fruits," and "Jezreel" means "God sows." Therefore, "Naboth the Jezreelite" signifies "Fruits produced where God sows." Indeed, the United States (“Uncle Sam”), historically driven by men of Christian persuasion, became the most powerful nation on earth during our generation and the few generations prior through its industrious and military might.

Uncle did not realize the fruits of Naboth’s vineyard were the strength of his nation (US Pledge of Allegiance: "...one Nation under God...") and foolishly coveted the industrious garden of fruits, desiring to convert it into a vegetable garden. This was the first fatal mistake in Uncle’s administration.

1 Kings 21:2 So Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a vegetable garden, because it is near, next to my house; and for it I will give you a vineyard better than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.”

The vegetable garden symbolizes "diversity." He desired to transform the fruitful and industrious garden into one with a diverse array of vegetables. This mirrors the longing for diverse vegetables that the children of Israel experienced after the Lord freed them from bondage.

Numbers 11:5 We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic.

Jezebel, his wife, took control of Uncle’s presidential seal. As a worshiper of Baal, Jezebel manipulated Uncle’s Congress by proclaiming a fast and having Naboth stoned to death. By proclaiming a fast she was disguising her actions as good intentions. This echoes the saying, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions.".

1 Kings 21:9-10 She wrote in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast, and seat Naboth with high honor among the people; and seat two men, scoundrels, before him to bear witness against him, saying, ‘You have blasphemed God and the king.’ Then take him out, and stone him, that he may die.”

Ahab and his imperfect Garment

Uncle, having taken ownership of Naboth's Vineyard, is now converting it into a Garden of Diverse Vegetables. Suddenly, an outbreak of war occurs. In the face of this conflict, Uncle's military and industrial might have weakened, as a consequence of his intense focus on promoting the Diversity “DEI” agenda.

In his desperate attempt to stay alive, he disguised himself as a soldier and went into battle.

1 Kings 22:30 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into battle; but you put on your robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.

Wearing an imperfect garment, a randomly aimed arrow struck Uncle between the joints of his armor.

1 Kings 22:34 Now a certain man drew a bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of his armour. So he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around and take me out of the battle, for I am wounded.”

The word “bow” in ancient Greek is τόξον (toxon) in Greek. The English word "toxin" derives from the Greek word τοξικός (toxikos), which means "of or related to a bow or archery." This, in turn, comes from τόξον (toxon) because poison was sometimes used on arrows in ancient warfare.

This brings us back to the "White Horse" from the Book of Revelation, where the rider (i.e., the host) carries a bow(toxon) and is given a crown ("corona").

Revelation 6:2 "And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a BOW; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer."

You can read more about the meaning of "conquering and to conquer" here:

Uncle, hit by a toxin, is now slowly bleeding to death. The fate of his wife will follow shortly.

1 Kings 22:35-37 The battle increased that day; and the king was propped up in his chariot, facing the Syrians, and died at evening. The blood ran out from the wound onto the floor of the chariot. Then, as the sun was going down, a shout went throughout the army, saying, “Every man to his city, and every man to his own country!” So the king died, and was brought to Samaria. And they buried the king in Samaria.

Jezebel’s Death

Shortly after Ahab’s death, Jezebel meets her destiny when Jehu appears. The name Jehu (יֵהוּא) means "Jehovah is He" or "The Lord is He." The Smith Bible Dictionary refers to Jehu as "The Living."

When Jehu appeared at the gate, Jezebel attempted to seduce him by putting paint on her eyes and adorning her head. As she tried to seduce “the living,” she was unaware that “the living” had already influenced two or three of her government officials. It is here that she meets her fate as they throw her down.

2 Kings 9:30-33 Now when Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she put paint on her eyes and adorned her head, and looked through a window. Then, as Jehu entered at the gate, she said, “Is it peace, Zimri, murderer of your master?” And he looked up at the window and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” So two or three eunuchs looked out at him. Then he said, “Throw her down.” So they threw her down, and some of her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses; and he trampled her underfoot.

Rejoice!

My friends, the world is in a state of confusion, and these are tumultuous times for many. However, if you are wearing the right garments, there is nothing to fear or feel discouraged about. All things must come to pass. We are not called to debate or convince those who have chosen their destiny. Our role is to serve as "witnesses." As witnesses, it is not our job to convince or debate anyone; we are simply called to tell the truth, regardless of whether it is received. Do not be troubled by those who do not receive you. In other words, “shake off the dust from your feet”.

Matthew 10:14 And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.

Revelation 22:11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.

If you are wearing the right garments, as spoken by Isaiah, it is a time to REJOICE!

In the beautiful Eden Garden, all trees were pure except for one, which was different because it had a mix. This tree, unlike its brethren, bore the knowledge of good and evil. What does this mix mean? It's having a bit of both good and bad together. In simpler terms, it's like mixing truths and lies.

Truth is absolute. It does not come in shades or degrees; there's no halfway or somewhat true. Similar to pregnancy, where a woman cannot be somewhat pregnant—she either is or isn't. Consequently, anything deviating from the Truth originates from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Today, an overwhelming number of people are partaking in the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The result from eating from the mixture of Truth and Lies has led to widespread confusion, division, and unrest. The world is in turmoil, with people turning against one another in what can be metaphorically referred to as the "Field of Sharp Swords," though sometimes, it feels more apt to call it the "Field of Sharp Words."

Twelve individuals from Benjamin and twelve from David find themselves in conflict within the "Field of Sharp Swords," locked in a battle they cannot end until everyone falls. The root of their inability to find peace lies in both parties drawing from a mixture of Truth and Lies. In contemporary issues, be it Israel versus Palestine, vaccine advocates against anti-vaxxers, or the woke against the unwoke, society is polarized, choosing sides in this metaphorical Field of Sharp Swords, with reconciliation seeming out of reach.

In contrast, those who have ascended to the throne are represented by 24 elders robed in white (12 from Benjamin and 12 from David, totaling 24 symbolizing "reconciliation"), with crowns(corona) of gold intact (not hijacked), on their heads. Isn't it true that both the crown virus and the crown vaccine hijack the mechanisms of your cells?

This leads us directly to Revelation 12:12, which distinctly outlines the three factions in the conflict: the Dwellers of Heaven, the Inhabitants of the Earth, and the Inhabitants of the Sea. Symbolically, the Heaven Dwellers represent those who have reconciled with Truth, and the two other groups engaged in relentless conflict within the Field of Sharp Swords, unable to find reconciliation with Truth.

This explains why John heard a voice inviting him to "Come up here"; heaven is situated above. From this elevated perspective of the Heavens, one gains a bird's-eye view of the unfolding events in the sea and on the earth below. For emphasis, that is why it is said the devil has "come down to you."

What is Truth?

Pilate, in asking "What is Truth?" responded through his declaration to the masses, "I find no fault in Him at all." (i.e. The Truth is Absolute!)

Jesus, who is the embodiment of the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6), was offered to the populace. However, their preference for Barabbas was essentially their way of saying, "Give us the Lie."

The People of the Earth and The People of the Sea.

The People of the Earth and the People of the Sea symbolize the Right and the Left in political ideology, respectively.

The Inhabitants of the Earth, symbolizing right-wing conservatives, typically emphasize traditional values such as family structure, marriage, and moral concerns. Moses guided these symbolic Earth Dwellers through the "Red Sea," ensuring not a single drop of water from the “Sea” touched them. Yet, immediately following their observance of the Lord’s miraculous division of the Red Sea to facilitate their crossing, these individuals fashioned a calf for worship. They are constantly looking for an "idol" to lead them out of their turmoil, unable to see the invisible God who is their cloud by day and pillar of fire by night. All of them died in the wilderness except for the Two Witnesses (Caleb and Joshua - Numbers 14:30)

The Inhabitants of the Sea, representing left-wing progressives, advocates for Globalism and its associated progressive values like Diversity and Inclusion. The entirety of Ezekiel 27 and 28 distinctly outlines the characteristics of the Inhabitants of the Sea, as described here.

The two groups, Inhabitants of the Earth and Inhabitants of the Sea, are again highlighted in Isaiah 11:15.

What’s next?

From the vantage point of the heavens above, one can observe the interactions between the Inhabitants of the Earth and the Inhabitants of the Sea. In accordance with His Divine Will, there will come a moment marked by "no more delay," indicating the onset of subsequent events. This scenario is described in Revelation 10, featuring an angel (i.e. Messenger) descending from heaven (not physically), crowned with a rainbow (symbolizing a diversity of thoughts, as opposed to the Sea Inhabitants' version of it representing diversity of gender and skin colors).

This messenger, setting his right foot upon the sea and his left upon the land, symbolizes an offense to both left and right. In an era of political correctness, the truth will offend the values of parties from the Sea and Earth (Left and Right).

The identity or nature of this messenger remains undisclosed. However, throughout the world, there's a current trend where independent thinkers are gradually distancing themselves from the Uniparty of the Left and Right.

The concept of the Uniparty, the Left and Right, is depicted in Revelation 13 (referring to the Beast of the Sea and the Beast of the Earth). If you're keen on my perspectives further, feel free to leave a comment below!

While Herod undertook extensive renovations of the temple, expanding and enhancing its splendor, Solomon’s Porch was the only section that remained untouched. During the Feast of Dedication, a time of celebration and jubilation, all the political and religious luminaries of that time were celebrating in the newly renovated sections. Instead of joining them, Jesus walked on Solomon's Porch.

Jesus wasn't taking a leisurely stroll on Solomon's Porch, and this is not a simple casual remark about Christ's whereabouts.

This was the Son of God was making a declaration.

Solomon's Porch, as the only piece of the original structure, symbolizes the idea of a "Remnant" - a small, persevering faction that remains true and faithful despite the political and religious transformations. It signifies a very small group of believers steadfast in their faith, unwavering in the face of societal shifts or religious institutionalization.

The keyword here is "Remnant".

The remnant of the temple, Solomon's Porch, is where the Spirit of Jesus resides today, not within any religious organizations. It is an organism, not an organization, with Christ as the head of the body.

His Spirit is walking amongst the Remnant(Solomon’s Porch).

Here, on the Porch, He is diligently training His army (described in Joel 2), meticulously preparing them for the spiritual battles that lie ahead, fortifying their faith, and instilling in them the discipline, wisdom, and strength necessary for the challenges they will face as they strive to fulfill His divine will.

Here on Solomon’s Porch, the Lord will unveil the fullness of His glory. Through a tiny, seemingly insignificant remnant, He will unveil the vast expanse of His Kingdom. It is here that the Kingdom of God will grow from the smallest of all seeds into a mighty tree.

It is here, that the Lord will gather unto Himself a swelling throng of believers.

Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the River Chebar, that the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.

Ezekiel 1:1

During the past four years (from 2020 to 2023), it felt as if the entire world was caught in a current much like that of the captives by the River Chebar. The River Chebar, nestled in the heart of Babylon, was where King Nebuchadnezzar issued an edict: a command to fall down before a golden statue upon the sound of "horn, flute, harp, and lyre, in symphony with all kinds of music."

This music played during the COVID pandemic was a relentless anthem entitled "Safe and Effective," played by a grand ensemble of entities—the voices and hands of global organizations, political leaders, mammoth corporations, healthcare systems, and the mainstream media (symbolizing “all kinds of music”).

During this period, two types of sheep emerged. In a biblical sense, we are all symbolized as sheep.

However, when the music played, you could see the sheep that chose captivity versus those who decided to walk through the gates into the "fiery furnace," shepherded by the Truth (i.e., the Son of God). Three men were cast into the fiery furnace, but then a fourth was seen (The Shepherd, The Son of God, The Truth). They were being led by “the Truth”.

The sheep in captivity were at the mercy of their keepers, consuming whatever was fed to them. They were fed directives such as “Stay at home, wear a mask, and get injected,” or they would be cast into the fiery furnace.

On the contrary, the sheep that were led out of the gate by the Truth (Jesus is the manifestation of Truth - “I am the Truth, the Way, and the Life”) were noteworthy. The Shepherd leads His sheep into green pastures.

The sheep that chose to be led into green pastures fed on whatever they found in the pastures (as opposed to the sheep in captivity who are fed whatever the keepers gave them). It symbolizes "independent thinking.”

In the ongoing battle between Good and Evil, it is often believed that these two forces are at odds with each other. However, it is essential to understand that there are actually three factions involved:

1. the heaven dwellers,

2. the inhabitants of the Earth,

3. and the inhabitants of the Sea.

This article explores the Inhabitants of the Earth.

The Inhabitants of Earth

When the slaves were freed from the bondage of Egypt by God, He miraculously parted the Red Sea, creating a path for the “Inhabitants of the Earth” to cross on dry land. Not a drop of the Red Sea touched them. The pursuing Egyptians unfortunately met their demise within the waters of the Red Sea. It is interesting to note the connection between the Red Sea and the Red Horse in the two articles referenced below.

The belief among the "Inhabitants of the Sea" is that they possess god-like qualities.

“…Because your heart is lifted up, And you say, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of gods, In the midst of the seas,’ Yet you are a man, and not a god… “
Ezekiel 28:2

On the other hand, the "Inhabitants of the Earth" recognize the presence of God but often get lost in the wilderness. Despite experiencing the miraculous event of God parting the Red Sea to rescue them from the Egyptians, they faltered just a few days later by worshipping a calf.

The symbolism behind the "Inhabitants of the Earth" represents a mental journey towards the promised land or the figurative ascent of Jacob's Ladder. Although the physical journey to the promised land could have been completed in a few days on foot, it took them 40 years to reach their destination.

It is all about knowing God’s Identity

While someone can acknowledge the existence of God, they can be absolutely confused about who God is. The entire Bible is designed to reveal God's identity through His Son who came in the flesh. The sentence in the Bible, "Thus, you shall know that I am the Lord," is the most repeated sentence in the Bible. If you do not know the identity of God, you will end up worshipping a calf and all the different versions of the calf.

Just a few examples:

THUS YOU WILL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD; for you have not walked in My statutes nor have you executed My ordinances, but have acted according to the ordinances of the nations around you.
Ezekiel 11:12

Then the Egyptians WILL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD, when I am honored through Pharaoh, through his chariots and his horsemen.”
Exodus 14:18

Thus says the Lord, “By this YOU WILL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD: behold, I will strike the water that is in the Nile with the staff that is in my hand, and it will be turned to blood.
Exodus 7:17

The slain shall fall in your midst, and YOU SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
Ezekiel‬ ‭6‬:‭7

And I will establish My covenant with you. Then YOU SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD,
Ezekiel‬ ‭16‬:‭62‬ ‭

“You shall defile yourself in the sight of the nations; then YOU SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
Ezekiel‬ ‭22‬:‭16‬ ‭

“Then THEY WILL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD, When I have set a fire in Egypt And all her helpers are destroyed.
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭30‬:‭8‬ ‭

Also her daughter villages which are in the fields shall be slain by the sword. Then THEY SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
Ezekiel‬ ‭26‬:‭6‬ ‭

And I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in security in the coastlands. Then THEY SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
Ezekiel‬ ‭39‬:‭6‬ ‭

Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then THEY SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
Ezekiel‬ ‭38‬:‭23‬ ‭

I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then YOU SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭37‬:‭6‬ ‭

The Field of Sharp Swords

The world is currently a Field of Sharp Swords. “Swords” are symbolic representation of words or idealogy.

So they arose and went over by number, twelve from Benjamin, followers of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve from the servants of David. And each one grasped his opponent by the head and thrust his sword in his opponent’s side; so they fell down together. Therefore that place was called the Field of Sharp Swords, which is in Gibeon.
2 Samuel 2:15-16

The 12 servants of David, symbolizing the Inhabitants of the Earth, and the 12 servants of Saul, representing the Inhabitants of the Sea, are embroiled in a conflict where they are at war with each other with their words (Sword).

“…And each one grasped his opponent by the head…”, the head is where thoughts manifest.

The number 12 holds a significant meaning as it symbolizes completeness, representing the full knowledge of God’s identity. It is analogous to the 12 hours in a day and 12 hours in a night. Understanding the identity of God requires comprehending both what God loves and what God hates (i.e. 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night)

Regrettably, many Christians today find themselves embracing what God hates while tolerating what God loves. If they persist in engaging with the "Inhabitants of the Sea" instead of embarking on the ascent of "Jacob's Ladder," they risk facing spiritual demise in the Field of Sharp Swords.

In contrast, the overcomers from both sides are symbolized by the 24 elders who are adorned in white robes, signifying their victory in the mind’s battle and ascension to the throne.

Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads.
Revelation 4:4

The number also links back to Revelation 12:12, where the presence of 12 on each side symbolizes the contrast between light and darkness, while the summation represents completeness.

Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Revelation 12:12

Sodom and Egypt

Those who successfully overcome this spiritual and mental test undergo a change in their thinking, shifting from the “left vs right” arguments to an understanding of the vertical nature of Jacob's Ladder.

Ultimately, the focal point lies in "Knowing who God is" through the process of ascension.

Those who resist the ability to change their mindset often find themselves “looking back”.

An example of this can be seen in the story of Lot's wife, who famously looked back at the "Sea" of Sodom and faced consequences. When Lot and his family escaped from Sodom, it mirrors the Israelites escaping the bondage of Egypt. Both situations involve escaping from the "Inhabitants of the Sea".

It is intriguing to note that modern-day tourists visit Mount Sodom to witness the "Dead Sea" (referred to as the "Salt Sea" in Hebrew).

But Lot's wife, behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
Genesis 19:26

Similarly, the Israelites looked back at the “Sea of Egypt”. Instead of embracing their new found freedom, they expressed dissatisfaction towards God and desired to return to Egypt.

Why has the Lord brought us to this land to fall by the sword, that our wives and children should become victims? Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?” So they said to one another, “Let us select a leader and return to Egypt.”
Numbers 14:3

“Give us a king to judge us.” So Samuel prayed to the Lord. And the Lord said to Samuel, “Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.
1 Samuel 8:6

Despite being provided with the "Bread of Life," the Israelites remained dissatisfied because they were accustomed to the luxury and false security they had experienced in Egypt. They wanted a king to rule over them, and getting back to the “political system” that God freed them from.

Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: “Who will give us meat to eat? We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic; but now our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!”
Numbers 11:4-6

Sodom and Egypt serve as symbols for individuals who remain trapped in the mentality of their previous enslavement. Egypt represents a voluntary bondage as seen when the Israelites desired to return to Egypt. On the other hand, Sodom represents a coerced bondage, as shown by Lot residing in Sodom. You can see it in the manifestations of people’s choice day, where some vountarily accepts a mark and another is coerced.

The Two Witnesses

That is why, when referring to the "two witnesses," Revelation 11:8 mentions "Sodom and Egypt" rather than the more commonly used "Sodom and Gomorrah."

And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
Revelation 11:8

The two witnesses symbolize those who have ascended Jacob's Ladder and act as witnesses. As witnesses, their role is to speak the truth rather than engaging in conflict between the Sea and Earth (representing the left and the right). Only two individuals from the inhabitants of the earth, namely Joshua and Caleb, successfully reached the promised land.

Except for Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun, you shall by no means enter the land which I swore I would make you dwell in.
Numbers 14:30

For the Lord had said of them, “They shall surely die in the wilderness.” And not a man was left of them, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.
Numbers 26:65

COME UP HERE!

In summary, this picture is an illustration between the 3 sides.

And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “COME UP HERE.” And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them.
Revelation 11:12

After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “COME UP HERE, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”
Revelation 4:1

P.S. With the three different sides now clarified, we can delve into a detailed examination of the two Beasts mentioned in Revelation 13: the Beast from the Sea and the Beast from the Earth. Get ready for Part 4!

In the ongoing battle between Good and Evil, it is often believed that these two forces are at odds with each other. However, it is essential to understand that there are actually three factions involved:

1. the heaven dwellers,

2. the inhabitants of the Earth,

3. and the inhabitants of the Sea.

This article explores the Inhabitants of the Sea.

It is crucial to comprehend the distinct characteristics of the "Inhabitants of the Earth" and the "Inhabitants of the Sea" as the Book of Revelation draws significant distinctions between them. Here are a few examples:

“Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.”
Revelation‬ ‭21‬:‭1‬ ‭

“So the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and a foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image.”
Revelation‬ ‭16‬:‭2‬ ‭

“Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living creature in the sea died.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭16‬:‭3‬ ‭

Revelation 13 portrays the ultimate manifestations of the Inhabitants of the Sea and the Earth, referred to as "beast."

“Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬ ‭

“Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.”
Revelation‬ ‭13‬:‭11‬ ‭

Inhabitants of the Sea defined in Ezekiel 27 and 28

In Ezekiel 27, a comprehensive portrayal of the “Inhabitants of the Sea” emerges, illuminating their shared characteristics as a united collective.

The word of the Lord came again to me, saying, “Now, son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre, and say to Tyre, ‘You who are situated at the entrance of the SEA, merchant of the peoples on many coastlands, thus says the Lord God: “O Tyre, you have said, ‘I am perfect in beauty.’
Ezekiel 27:1-3

The symbolic representation of "Globalism" or "Collectivism" can be observed through the concept of the "Sea," representing the interconnectedness that exists among all lands and peoples across the world.

Your borders are in the midst of the SEAS. Your builders have perfected your beauty. They made all your planks of fir trees from Senir; They took a cedar from Lebanon to make you a mast. Of oaks from Bashan they made your oars; The company of Ashurites have inlaid your planks With ivory from the coasts of Cyprus. Fine embroidered linen from Egypt was what you spread for your sail; Blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah was what covered you. “Inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your oarsmen; Your wise men, O Tyre, were in you; They became your pilots. Elders of Gebal and its wise men Were in you to caulk your seams; All the ships of the sea And their oarsmen were in you To market your merchandise.
Ezekiel 27:4-11

Ezekiel 27:4-11 draws our attention to the formation of this assembly, which consists of elite individuals from diverse nations coming together with a united purpose: to collaborate and combine their efforts and resources in the construction of a beautiful city. In a sense, this collective can be likened to a "United Nations," where individuals from different nations join forces to achieve a common objective.

“Those from Persia, Lydia, and Libya Were in your army as men of war; They hung shield and helmet in you; They gave splendor to you. Men of Arvad with your army were on your walls all around, And the men of Gammad were in your towers; They hung their shields on your walls all around; They made your beauty perfect.
Ezekiel 27:10-11

The passage emphasizes the formidable military might that emerges from the United Nations.

“Tarshish was your merchant because of your many luxury goods. They gave you silver, iron, tin, and lead for your goods. Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your traders. They bartered human lives and vessels of bronze for your merchandise. Those from the house of Togarmah traded for your wares with horses, steeds, and mules. The men of Dedan were your traders; many isles were the market of your hand. They brought you ivory tusks and ebony as payment. Syria was your merchant because of the abundance of goods you made. They gave you for your wares emeralds, purple, embroidery, fine linen, corals, and rubies. Judah and the land of Israel were your traders. They traded for your merchandise wheat of Minnith, millet, honey, oil, and balm. Damascus was your merchant because of the abundance of goods you made, because of your many luxury items, with the wine of Helbon and with white wool. Dan and Javan paid for your wares, traversing back and forth. Wrought iron, cassia, and cane were among your merchandise. Dedan was your merchant in saddlecloths for riding. Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your regular merchants. They traded with you in lambs, rams, and goats. The merchants of Sheba and Raamah were your merchants. They traded for your wares the choicest spices, all kinds of precious stones, and gold. Haran, Canneh, Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Assyria, and Chilmad were your merchants. These were your merchants in choice items—in purple clothes, in embroidered garments, in chests of multicolored apparel, in sturdy woven cords, which were in your marketplace. “The ships of Tarshish were carriers of your merchandise. You were filled and very glorious in the midst of the seas.
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭27‬:‭12-‭26

Ezekiel 27:12-26 reveals the far-reaching commercial networks established by the "Inhabitants of the Sea," showcasing their impressive trade connections with nations across the globe. This collective's remarkable combination of commercial expertise and military power, and driven by their values of diversity and inclusion, serves as their defining attributes.

The Destiny of the Inhabitants of the Sea

The rest of Ezekiel 27 highlights the destruction of the “Inhabitants of the Sea”. It ends with “You will become a horror, and be no more forever.’ (Ezekiel‬ ‭27‬:‭‭36‬) and repeated in Revelation 21:1

“The merchants among the peoples will hiss at you; You will become a horror, and be no more forever.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭27‬:‭‭36‬ ‭

“Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was NO MORE SEA.”
Revelation‬ ‭21‬:‭1‬ ‭

Ezekiel 28:1-10 reveals the false self-perception of the Governors of the Sea as divine beings, highlighting their arrogant attitudes and their eventual downfall at the hands of unknown strangers. Their mistaken belief in their own godhood will be disproven, and they will face the consequences of their pride and conceit.

PS: Here is a representation of the thoughts manifested by the "Inhabitants of the Sea." (i.e. “collectivism”, "common good”, “global commons”, “water”)

1. the heaven dwellers,

2. the inhabitants of the Earth,

3. and the inhabitants of the Sea.

Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Revelation 12:12

If you choose to embrace citizenship in Heaven, your state of mind can be likened to ascending a vertical ladder, reminiscent of Jacob's dream in which he witnessed angels (messengers) ascending and descending upon it.

And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
Genesis 28:12

This repetition occurs in Revelation when a voice beckons, saying, "Come up here."

“After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.””
Revelation‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬ ‭

“And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭11‬:‭12‬

Alternatively, inhabitant of the earth and the sea, have their state of minds shift horizontally (from left to right and right to left, sea to earth and earth to sea), in contrast to the vertical ascent mentioned earlier.

This reflects the essence of the man-made political system, symbolized by "Gog and Magog," signifying "The king and his mountain."

And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
Revelation 20:8

In this realm, "revelation" is often supplanted by confusion as individuals become entangled in the politics of the Land of Shinar. Shinar, which signifies "the land of two rivers," is the place where the Tower of Babel, commonly known as the Tower of Confusion, was built. Rivers are symbolic of thought processes. The place where the tower of Babel (confusion) stands, known as the land of Shinar (Two Rivers), is where both the left wing and the right wing are situated (referring to two distinct groups or ideologies).

Now the whole world had one language and a common form of speech. And as people journeyed eastward, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” So they used brick instead of stone, and tar instead of mortar. “Come,” they said, “let us build for ourselves a city with a tower that reaches to the heavens, that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of all the earth.” Then the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men were building. And the LORD said, “If they have begun to do this as one people speaking the same language, then nothing they devise will be beyond them. Come, let Us go down and confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.” So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it is called Babel, for there the LORD confused the language of the whole world, and from that place the LORD scattered them over the face of all the earth.

Genesis 11:2-16

Repent = Shifting from Horizontal Thinking to Vertical Ascent like Jacob's Ladder.

The term "Repent" is found roughly 40 times in the KJV Bible, with an almost even distribution between the Old and New Testaments. What's particularly intriguing is that in these two sections, it originates from entirely distinct linguistic sources.

In the Old Testament, "Repent" frequently stems from the Hebrew term "nāḥam," signifying "to feel sorrow or regret," often accompanied by a sense of guilt.

In contrast, in the New Testament, the term "Repent" is derived from "metanoeō," which conveys the idea of "changing one's mind."

Guilt is no longer attached to us, for the sacrifice of Jesus has liberated us from the burden of sin.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Matt 11:28

This is precisely why the Apostle Paul emphasized:

"There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
Romans 8:1

Here are some verses in the New Testament where the word "Repent" signifies "to change one's mind" rather than "to be sorry."

Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and REPENT (“change your mind!"), and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou REPENT (“change your mind!").
Revelation 2:5

REPENT(“change your mind!”); or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
Revelation 2:16

Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and REPENT(“change your mind!"). If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
Revelation 3:3

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and REPENT(“change your mind!").
Revelation 3:19

From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, REPENT(“change your mind!"): for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matthew 4:17
