A few days ago I completed my book The Prodigal Son Prophecy: God’s Amazing Plan for the Restoration of the Two Hebrew Houses and the Salvation of the Gentiles and sent it off to the publisher. In my estimation, this is the most important of my eight books and is the writing project to which I have devoted more time than any other: more than a decade. It is a work of theological scholarship which reflects the most important conclusions I have reached in my 35-year devotion to studying the Bible and living the biblical worldview. I offer a free digital version here in serial form.

I believe ours is the last generation before the Lord’s return and that He laid out the specific timeline for last-days events in the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24-25. Matt 24:14 states “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” I take this as both a summary of the work of the 2000 year church age generally, and a prophecy of a specific event/phenomenon about to unfold. It occurs after the apostasy of Matt 24:9-14 crests, and before the Antichrist installs the “Abomination of Desolation” in Matt 24:15-28. I believe the apostasy has begun but not crested, and so now should be the time when the remnant prepares for the biggest evangelism event of all time.

That big event will lead to another, bigger event: the Rapture, when the Lord will return in the clouds to claim His Bride (freshly enlarged by our evangelism) and to reclaim the earth for His Millennial Kingdom.

The Word tells us about the Rapture in 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 :

“Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.”

“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise. After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.”

And Jesus Himself told us WHEN that will occur in Matthew 24:29-31:

“Immediately after the tribulation of those days: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.’ ”

We’re fast approaching Christmas, and most of us begin the planning and preparation for it well in advance. We want our celebration of the Birth of Christ to be the high point of our year. There’s nothing wrong with that, even if you (like me) disagree with the commercialization and secularization of Christmas or think Jesus was born at some other time of the year. Christmas is always good if our focus is on Him.

But the biggest event of all, even bigger than the birth of Christ, is coming soon — the Second Coming — and we have been given advance notice that it will be preceded by a great end-times revival. How much more should we be preparing for THAT! We have also been warned not to get distracted by the things of the world as we see that Day of the Lord approaching. As Paul states in 1 Thessalonians 5:4 “But you, brothers, are not in the darkness so that this day should overtake you like a thief.” More importantly, Jesus said in Matt 24:45-46 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the others their food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.”

What is this “food” we are to be serving when the Lord returns? It is the Milk and Meat of the Word! (1 Peter 2:2 and 1 Corinthians 3:11-14.) What is the proper time? When we see the signs of the end of the age! “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21:28).

I believe 2022 will be a year of apostasy and tribulation-driven revival and that is what I personally will prepare for. As always, have a two-track approach. Track 1 is cultural and political — fighting the Marxist agenda, especially the LGBT and Critical Race Theory (i.e. anti-white racism) components. Track 2 is spiritual/evangelistic — not just the teaching ministry that has been my emphasis for the past decade, but community outreach. I am especially interested in evangelizing the MAGA movement, which in my perspective is a “field white unto harvest” because I believe the patriotism of the populists is rooted in the Christian heritage of their parents and grandparents. This provides a clear path for reconnecting their America First values with faith in Christ — especially through our ability to teach about the political and culture-war aspects of Whole Bible Christianity — which I specialize in.

There are dark clouds gathering, and much anxiety in the world, but I am eager for the prophetic events to unfold. I want to be alive and active in the Lord’s service when He comes, and I want to drag as many people info the lifeboat as possible during the great revival. This article is my declaration of commitment to be ready for the harvests: the big, bigger and biggest events of the last days. I urge us all to prepare NOW for Great End Times Salvation Search-and-Rescue.

I am not a medical doctor or scientist, but having devoted thirty years of my life to Christian service in the front lines of the culture war I have special insights about our LGBT adversaries collectively, and a deep compassion for the individuals who struggle with same-sex attraction disorder and gender identity confusion.

While the world treats the coalition of lesbian, “gay,” bi-sexual and transgender “sexual minorities” as distinct and separate populations connected only by mutual political interests, I have concluded, on the contrary, that they all suffer from the same common disorder, and these supposedly separate categories are really just degrees of difference on what I call the Scale of Gender Imbalance.

As in all things, the key to true understanding is to seek God’s perspective. On the matters of sexual and gender identity which are so foundational to humanness, God established the One Flesh Paradigm in Genesis 1:27 and 2:24:

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”

“Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”

Our sexual and relational physiology and psychology is binary and designed for wholeness through marriage. No doctrine could be more plain and simple than this truth.

But also clear to us from living in these human bodies is the binary nature of our own individual gender identity. The qualities that define both maleness and femaleness are found in each one of us.

And it is obvious by observation of human beings in a group that the balance of gender qualities varies from person to person. The male trait of dominance and female trait of submissiveness, for example, exist in everyone. They, in part, define the difference between men and women generally, but not absolutely. Some men are more or less dominant than other men. Some women are more or less submissive than other women. Some men and women defy the stereotypes entirely.

That varying binary gender balance can be measured on a scale on which the center point represents a perfect balance of maleness and femaleness, and the two poles represent extremes of maleness and femaleness respectively.

Perfect balance is not the norm, nor the goal. Generally speaking, men should and do manifest more masculine than feminine traits, and vice versa for women. But there is a limited range of imbalance that is normal and healthy: measured by the presence of opposite-sex orientation in the psyche of each person. Within this range, are men and women whose gender identity balance is tilted in the wrong direction (men with slightly more femininity than masculinity, and vice versa for women) but who remain within the range of gender normalcy because they still have opposite sex attraction and thus fulfil God’s “One Flesh” design.

I have observed that outside this gender normalcy bubble at the middle of the scale are a small percentage of people whose gender imbalance is abnormal and unhealthy. The further toward the extreme of imbalance in either direction a person falls on the scale, the more abnormal and unhealthy is that person’s sexual and gender identity. In other words, degrees of deviance from the One Flesh design equate to increase in the level of dysfunction.

I have also observed that the percentage of the population that manifests deviance decreases the further you look to the extremes; the full range from pole to pole essentially fits the pattern of a bell curve.

I have created three charts that explain this phenomenon graphically. Chart 1 depicts the phenomenon of male/female gender balance and imbalance generally. Chart 2 shows how gender imbalance in men can explain male homosexuality, transvestitism and transsexualism as degrees of increasing deviance from God’s design. Chart 3 shows the same for women.

Importantly, both men and women can have an overabundance of the gender qualities normal to their sex, which become abnormal when their gender imbalance falls outside the gender normalcy bubble. A woman who is abnormal to a feminine degree just outside the bubble might be classified in street terms as a “lipstick lesbian” in contrast to a “bull dyke” (their terms not mine) whose imbalance skews to the masculine side. Both suffer from same-sex attraction disorder because their imbalance falls outside the bubble of gender normalcy, but one looks feminine and the other looks masculine.

A woman whose imbalance is even more extreme to the side of masculinity will dress and act like a man (transgenderism), and one to the furthest extreme will want to BE a man, even to the point of body mutilation. The same is true of men with an imbalance to the feminine side: manifesting transvestism at the mid-point of the feminine side of the scale and transsexualism at the extreme. Because this is a true scale, a person of either sex can fall anywhere along it, and these categories I am describing are just convenient, familiar designations for illustration purposes.

What causes gender identity imbalance? I have observed three causes in decreasing order of prevalence:

1. Sexual abuse in childhood or young adulthood, not necessarily homosexual in nature, but heavily influenced by the gender of the abuser, especially in boys. Lesbianism is, in my view, primarily the consequence of male sexual abuse, triggering a desire to “retreat from the company of men.”
   
2. Trauma-induced gender identity confusion during late infancy/toddlerhood when a child learns to self-identify as male or female by observation and interaction with parents or other primary care-givers. For example, a boy whose Dad is absent or violent may choose to identify with and model his gender identity, including later romantic interests, after Mom. (These are the true-believer “born that way” claimants who have no memories prior to the onset of their disorder and thus assume their condition is innate).
   
3. Rebellion against authority. In the first decades of radical feminism in our culture this category was best represented by “college lesbians,” but today both boys and girls are, in large numbers, being lured into same-sex and “non-binary” self-identification in furtherance of Marxist “social justice” ideology in which heterosexual normalcy and marriage are symbols of “hate” and repression.

How do we help people recover from gender-imbalance disorders? We simply teach and model gender normalcy as a ministry, and urge everyone to seek the balance God designed for us.

The headline is satire, but the topic is deadly serious. As a prolific consumer of anti-globalist media I have been increasingly seeing what seems to me to be a campaign of incitement to insurrection and violence against the corruption class. It is our people who are being induced to join in that chorus, and I suspect the effort is being orchestrated by the Chinese Communist Party in cooperation with Obama’s “intelligence” agencies. It gives off the same vibe as the Charlottesville, Whitmer and Jan 6th entrapment operations but on a much larger scale. The short term danger is that many otherwise level-headed constitutionalists will get caught up in that spirit and either resort to clandestine vigilantism or publicly echo the incitement-to-violence rhetoric (or actions) and be prosecuted for it (or coerced into being government spies/entrapment facilitators under threat of prosecution).

If you are being lured into that trap, STOP and remember that the reality of “justice” under the Biden regime is the DC jails and worse. More importantly, realize that it is the Marxists themselves who want and thrive on social chaos, and that if you allow yourself to be emotionally baited into doing something stupid, you will become just another “useful idiot” in service to their agenda.

Anger at the corruption class is certainly justified, and even calls for capital punishment for those responsible for the entirely preventable, massive death toll related to the Plandemic and Great Reset (e.g. the Big Pharma, Big Media and Big Tech puppet-masters behind it all, as well as their bought and paid for public officials).

And, should all else fail in the effort to restore our republic, even civil war — as an absolutely last resort — would be better than slavery.

BUT, there is a lot of open battleground between here and there and most of the infrastructure of our civilization is still intact, albeit being misused by the left. That fact was proven last night in the 2021 off-year elections in which the Republicans (many of them conservatives) vastly outperformed what the leftist media expected, with Virginia being the jewel in the crown. The fears that we would see a repeat of the 2020 election fraud in the 2021 races did not come to pass — or rather, the cheating was not sufficient to overcome the Republican leads.

HOPE was restored last night, but inevitably the national mood will dampen as more Marxist outrages occur and we’ll soon be back to a climate wherein many people are susceptible to “vigilantism and violence is the answer” rhetoric.

I’ve wanted to address this topic for some time now, but in the afterglow of the Nov 2 elections, I think it will make a lot more sense to people.

Last point. In every human contest, Satan works both sides of the street. He always works to bring chaos from order and to cause people to defile and degrade themselves. He knows human strengths and weaknesses and that there is a flip-side to every emotional/behavioral coin — one that can be exploited under the right circumstances. A person’s natural assertiveness can be pushed into aggression. A reserved person can be pushed into passivity. It is only by staying centered on the narrow path of righteousness that one can avoid going over the line to legalism on one side or license on the other. The solution is always to think biblically and act ethically.

The motto of my law firm when I was in practice years ago was Micah 6:8

“He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?”

WE CHRISTIANS IN THE MAGA MOVEMENT MUST TEACH AND MODEL THAT BALANCE OF JUSTICE AND MERCY IN HUMILITY. IT IS OUR JOB TO ENSURE THAT THE AMERICAN COUNTER-REVOLUTION AGAINST MARXIST TYRANNY AND GLOBALIST MANIPULATIONS NEVER DEGENERATES INTO A FRENCH-STYLE “REIGN OF TERROR” IN WHICH THE HEADLINE OF THIS MESSAGE COULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. IT IS NO JOKE THAT THE MARXISTS WANT THAT RESULT.

In a recent WND.COM article, I opined that the State of Nebraska has a duty to prosecute Anthony Fauci and others for their malicious and deceitful suppression of life-saving low-cost Ivermectin, based upon Nebraska Attorney General Douglas Peterson’s impressive legal opinion in which he documented just how truly safe and effective that drug is.

Today I want to discuss the drug that Fauci and his co-conspirators in control of our health systems have aggressively pushed instead of Ivermectin: Remdevisir. The leading whistleblower on Remdesivir is fellow Brighteon.TV host Dr. Bryan Ardis who makes the following assertions in his public warnings about the drug: 

• On May 1, 2020 Dr. Fauci released a memo related to the FDA emergency use authorization of Remdesivir in which he said it has been shown to be safe and effective in two studies. Dr. Ardis says that is a brazen lie.   

• The first was a study of its use against the Ebola virus in 2019. Dr. Ardis says that Remdesivir was by far the least safe and effective of the four drugs in the Ebola trial, and that the one-year study was cancelled by safety monitors in August of 2019 after just 6 months because of a 53.1% mortality rate – not from ineffectively treated Ebola, but from kidney and other organ failure caused by the drug itself. 

• The second study cited by Fauci as evidence of the safety and effectiveness of Remdesivir was a March 2020 study of 53 people with Covid, done by the owner of the Remdesivir patent, Gilead Sciences, a major pharmaceutical company. Instead of the 28 day course of Remdesivir used against Ebola, a 10 day course was used. 23% developed acute kidney and/or liver failure, while another 8% had to be pulled from the study before 10 days with such severe reaction that they needed emergency kidney or transplants or they would die. That’s a combined 31% with life-threatening adverse reactions.

• By mandating Redemsivir as the exclusive Covid 19 treatment drug in American hospital protocols instead of Ivermectin, Fauci knowingly set up the American population for a massive death toll from kidney and liver failure complications caused by Remdesivir poisoning.

• Dr. Ardis explains that kidney failure (especially for those being artificially hydrated by IV bags) causes the body to flood with water internally, including the lungs, creating the condition wrongly characterized as “secondary Covid pneumonia” when in fact people are literally drowning in their own body fluids.    

• Also in May of 2020, Fauci asked the US Government to buy up all the reserves of Remdesivir, for exclusive use in America through 2020. That guaranteed that Americans would be the only population suffering the increased mortality related to Remdesivir – the motive being to heighten fear and urgency among Americans to drive future global vaccine sales [and, I would add, to justify lockdowns, universal mail-out voting and other malfeasance by Dem and RINO politicians to facilitate massive anti-Trump election fraud]. 

• By the end of 2020, the US, with 4.5% of the world’s population, had 25% of the Covid 19 deaths, 95% of which occurred in US hospitals with Remdesivir protocols that had been proven in the manufacturer’s own study to destroy the kidneys and or livers of 31% of its users [for a disease with a 1% fatality rate globally] . As of today the death toll stands around 750,000, virtually all dying in hospitals from Remdesivir poisoning.

At the close of his summary, Dr. Ardis cited two publicly available government documents that show just how evil Fauci’s actions have been. The first is the National Institute of Health’s own “Covid 19 Treatment Guidelines”  in which Ivermectin is listed as the second of three drugs approved for Covid 19 clinical studies, along with links to many studies for each drug.
The second is a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service document titled “New COVID-19 Treatments Add-On Payment (NCTAP)” which offers a 20% bonus payment to hospitals who use Remdesivir instead of other options, complete with billing codes to claim the bonus.  

This is the policy that has driven excess mortality among the elderly and infirm, and turned profit-hungry hospital administrators into aggressive enemies of Ivermectin advocacy.
After sitting through Dr. Ardis’ interview with righteous anger against Fauci and his co-conspirators building within me, I did some of my own follow-up research.

I looked at several of the Ivermectin studies linked from the NIH document and discovered 0% serious adverse effects for Ivermectin (nearly across the board), and a much lower mortality rate than Remdesivir, even in patients with severe cases. These studies had smaller samples, so they are not as statistically reliable as bigger studies, but this begs the question why bigger studies were not conducted. I think we know this was to give cover for Fauci and company to dismiss Ivermectin as unproven, which they did formally on February 11, 2021, saying “There is insufficient evidence for the COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel (the Panel) to recommend either for or against the use of ivermectin.” HA! 

Here is a typical Ivermectin study on the NIH site. (Scroll to the bottom for mortality and adverse reaction numbers).

Meanwhile, a great many studies were done of Remdesivir. When I looked at the first two dozen of them linked from the NIH document I noticed that most of the completed studies did not post the results, which seems suspicious to me. The first study with results posted was a large one with over 4000 participants, led by Kaiser Los Angeles. 
Scroll to the middle to see results for the four groups. 

• Mortality rates of 12.5%, 14.21%, 25.24% and 11.73% respectively and

• “Serious Adverse Events” rates at 21.5%, 34.52%, 42.89% and 23.66%.      

I then spent just a few minutes researching Gilead Sciences and discovered (even on ultra-leftist Wikipedia) they have a history of serious price gouging and, on their own website discovered their board includes at least one Obama-linked member (Welters) and, of all things, an expert on kidney disease (Rodriguez). 

All across America are survivors of the hundreds of thousands of men and women killed by the Anthony Fauci mob. While we hold our breath waiting for the Biden justice department (or the state AGs) to hold him accountable, some of these citizens should start the ball rolling with wrongful death lawsuits to gather discovery against the hospitals who have profited from their knowing or negligent cooperation with America’s most prolific mass murderer. 

This morning I have been reading Nebraska Attorney General Douglas Peterson’s stellar legal opinion defending the use of Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine as an off-label remedy for early stage Covid 19 treatment by Nebraska physicians. The official request for this opinion was made by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, and the bottom line is that his office will take no action against physicians who prescribe these drugs, so long as the patients give informed consent. Its eloquent, dispassionate summary of the facts exposes the extreme guilt of our corrupt public health officials and their co-conspirators like a colorized x-ray of covid infested lungs. They can run but cannot hide from the documented, objective truth.

Peterson’s Opinion, which is the bureaucratic equivalent of a “ruling,” is a great victory for truth and true science in and of itself, and will undoubtedly save many lives both in Nebraska, and everywhere this document is used to help realign public health policies to scientific reality.

But as a Christian attorney myself, I believe the analysis detailed in this opinion logically, legally and morally compels Attorney General Peterson to take immediate forceful action against the Biden administration, Anthony Fauci, Rachel Walensky and other key players. Not just as a civil action to defeat bad policy by the FDA, CDC and other agencies, but to prosecute the key players for criminal malfeasance, and/or whatever judicial equivalent may be available in his legal toolkit.

State lawsuits against the federal government are not unusual, and in the past have served primarily as a mechanism for preventing federal policy from harming state interests (as perceived by the ruling party). Increasingly, those interests have been ideologically driven, especially against the Trump administration, which was hit with a record 138 lawsuits by state AGs. At least 43 of those suits were filed by the ultra-left wing open lesbian Massachusetts AG Maura Healey, whose office became a virtual anti-Trump lawsuit factory (reportedly at the expense of its legitimate responsibilities).

Now, state law varies, often dramatically, from state to state, and I don’t know Nebraska law or the specifics of what is possible through state litigation against the feds. That wasn’t my area of practice, so I can’t prescribe any particular plan of action. What I do know is that government officials CAN be held accountable, or at least held up to withering public scrutiny, if the people in the seats of state power are determined to pursue that goal and willing to expend state resources to achieve it (as NY and MA proved in their illegitimate harassment of Trump). The question is, does Nebraska have the will to force the federal government and its key agents to face justice for what they have done? I suppose that will depend in significant part on what its citizens want, and how assertively they make their wishes known. I urge them to do that quickly and decisively.

I do have some expertise in biblical law. Under that law, God’s law above the law, justice MUST be done in the effective criminal prosecution of crimes, especially the shedding of innocent blood. Under the letter of the Mosaic law, murderers were to be hunted down by “avengers of blood” and killed, per Numbers 35:19 “The avenger of blood is to put the murderer to death; when he finds him, he is to kill him.” Under the New Covenant in Christ, especially Romans 13:1-4, that law is tempered and modified to place the duty of justice on government rather than family members or other individuals. Government bears the solemn duty to “be a terror to evil” and “execute wrath against evildoers.”

It falls to our judicial system to prove the guilt of the wicked and sentence them accordingly, but if (for the sake of illustration) the citizenry of open-eyed Patriots can be considered an informal “grand jury” in the matter of public health tyranny and the enormous death toll associated with public health policy, there are clearly enough facts in hand – many summarized in the Peterson Opinion – to indict numerous public officials for murder, starting with the morally depraved patent-holding Anthony “gain-of-function” Fauci, his key minion Rachel Waleski, and their craven, sociopathic Big Pharma paymasters. And under the legal doctrine called “Felony Murder Rule” every person involved in their felonious criminal conspiracy, even the getaway driver (the drive-by media?) is also guilty of murder if anyone died during the criminal acts. (Andrew Cuomo comes to mind.)

Of course we no longer have a Bible-based common law legal system, but rather the remnants of a secular Roman-style statutory system (since the late 1940s) in transition to a full-fledged Communist one (that has matured slowly since the first Bush presidency but rapidly since Obama). The “evil-doers” under today’s system are those who dissent from the Marxist diktats of the elites (e.g. the opponents of CRT in public schools and the “unvaccinated”), while the federal law enforcement machinery, and that of all the Democrat and RINO-controlled states and cities increasingly serves the cause of tyranny.

Nevertheless, the law above the law remains constant and binding upon all humanity in God’s system of divine justice. Whether we somehow restore the America we true Americans love and proceed to prosecute them ourselves, or we move straight on into the tribulation and get treated like criminals and terrorists ourselves, JUSTICE will be done, and the true criminals WILL pay for what they have done. We who belong to Him will be revived and rewarded, but they will suffer the wrath that is due to them. Either way, as the Scripture says in Hebrews 10:30-31 “For we know Him who said, ‘Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,’ and again, ‘The Lord will judge His people.’ It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”

Who knows. It could be that the deciding factor in which way we go, humanly speaking, is in the hands of AG Peterson.

Biden’s “very dark winter” agenda is now unfolding, and rebuilding a healthy church network is our best option for getting through it.

SURVIVING THE SOON COMING COLLAPSE

The global elites have promised us a “Great Reset” and with Trump currently sidelined, Netanyahu deposed, and Putin thoroughly demonized by America’s leftist and neo-con press, the three-headed 2015/16 alliance that gave us Brexit, the Trump presidency, a stabilized Middle East and real hope for a roll-back of global Marxism is broken, and there is really no power on earth standing in the way of Obama and Pope Francis’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that they launched at the UN in 2015.

This is the end game. The elite puppet-masters are standing on the metaphorical shore of the new world (order) and the “Great Reset” represents the burning of the ships that got them here, ala Cortez.

But perhaps the better analogue is Rome under the Antichrist figure Nero. To “build back better,” he first burned Rome to the ground and blamed it on the Unvaccinated, I mean the Christians.

Biden is obviously a puppet. It is SO obvious that his continuation in that role is an act of blatant sadism toward us on their part, saying essentially “we have such overwhelming power over you expendable serfs that we don’t even have to pretend that your so-called government is legitimate anymore!” That same implicit gloating accompanies each new crime by the FBI, DOJ, elected officials, and Antifa/BLM foot-soldiers that goes unpunished. It’s all part of the demoralization process to soften our resistance to what comes next.

Presumably the conservative populists across the world could take the elites on if we were truly united and organized, but we are fully occupied with intra-national election fraud and plandemic battles. We have no choice. Our independence and personal sovereignty hangs on the outcome. But once part one of the Great Reset is triggered, those concerns will be largely moot. To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln, that old order of independent nations “of the people, by the people, for the people will have perished from the Earth.” They will be smoking ruins filled with empty-handed starving people whose (supposed) only hope will be the human “deliverers” of part two of the Great Reset.

While we are tied up with local, state and national battles, the elites are fine-tuning and coordinating all their international machinery to optimize part one, the great collapse. Economic, banking and trade systems, manufacturing, shipping, warehousing and distribution systems, human transportation and commodities systems, energy, food, public information, health care are all in their pocket. Today’s supply chain propaganda is the harbinger. We’re being prepared for bigger things to come. The “very dark winter” is almost here.

On the prophetic calendar, this winter might just be the “beginning of sorrows” the Lord warned us of in the Olivet Discourse of Matthew 24-25, close on the heels of the Hebrew Fall feasts of Trumpets, Atonement and Tabernacles (of Leviticus 23), and linked to the eighth of the nine feast calendar in place at the time of Jesus’ earthly ministry: Hanukkah.

Hanukkah was, in a sense, God’s “Great Reset,” described in Daniel 11 and 1 & 2 Maccabees. Leading up to 167 BC, Judea was increasingly politically and spiritually polarized like America is today, with the country people being Torah-faithful traditionalists, and the Hellenistic city dwellers of Jerusalem leaning toward God-rejecting “polythesism” (“religious pluralism”). The Antichrist figure Antiochus IV Epiphanes sided with the Hellenists to gain control, then collapsed the old order in Jerusalem to remake Judea in the Hellenic mold, with himself at the head of the polytheistic pantheon (his self-chosen title, “Epiphanes,” means “the manifest God”).

It was the (righteous) deliverer figure Judah Maccabees (Judah the Hammer) who “reset” and restored godliness in the land (through insurrection), making possible the cleansing and rededication of God’s temple by righteous priests, and the miracle of the holy oil. That occurred in 164 BC on the 25th of Kislev (the Jewish “December”). The key events all occurred over roughly 3 ½ years, like the Great Tribulation in Revelation lasts 3 1/2 years followed by the deliverer, Jesus Christ.

Just as their utopian fantasy of a global Socialist order is actually a counterfeit version of Christ’s Millennial Kingdom, it would be in keeping with the elites’ Antichrist spirit for today’s “Great Reset” to function as a counterfeit alternative to the Hanukkah story in which the “deliverers” are the evil “reset” globalists, or the emerging last days Antichrist himself (2 Thessalonians 2).

All of this is just educated speculation, including the prediction of a great collapse this winter, but I think I’m on fairly solid ground, especially regarding the latter. The globalists are evil but they’re not stupid. They know the 2022 US midterm elections are our best hope for restoring power to the people and the current political and cultural momentum is strongly on our side, so they can’t wait until the Fall of 22.

They could wait until Spring or Summer 22, but that would reduce their ability to leverage key sectors under their control: public health is always more tenuous in winter, making all of their plandemic-centered strategies easier, constrictions of the food supply are less meaningful once the winter is past and people can turn to the land for sustenance, and energy crises are always better tools for social manipulation in winter. Plus, if their plan is to roll out part two of the reset ahead of the elections and buy off what’s left of the populist electorate with their rescue plan (ala Gavin Newsom), the logical time to do that is Spring, when the change of seasons will bolster their efforts to brand themselves as the “deliverers” bringing new hope to the world.

All of this agenda will occur world-wide, but must be US-centered because we are still the most powerful nation in the world and represent the only real hope for the restoration of liberty across the globe. If they can finish the US take-down process that started with the 2020 election coup, the rest of the world will be just a mop-up operation.

The guidance on how we survive this only takes one sentence. We get back to being the church: a global fellowship of people who trust in the providence of God and help each other through troubled times, operating outside of the sight and reach of government, just like the first generation of believers did.

By continuing to describe his Covid “vaccine” rollout, “Operation Warp Speed,” as an unqualified success, instead of updating his messaging to distance himself from Big Pharma’s now obvious greed, lies and cover-ups, President Trump is unintentionally helping his (and our) worst enemy, Big Media, to push their own “Operation Warped Screed:” the liberty-destroying false Covid narrative that Big Government and Big Tech are using to justify tyranny.

During his first term, President Trump faced unprecedented opposition by the entire global network of Marxist elites, including the Bush and Clinton dynasties here at home. It was almost miraculous that he accomplished anything, let alone rack up the impressive checklist he rightfully touts at his rallies. But he was not immune to political extortion. For example, I firmly believe that McConnell and McCain held back Senate confirmation of Justice Neil Gorsuch to SCOTUS until President Trump agreed to a a transparently illegal military strike on Syria, “justified” by the neo-con’s favorite pretext of “chemical weapons.”
And I believe that his far-too liberal positions on “gay” issues have been to appease key (conflicted) “conservatives” like Ric Grenell who would otherwise abandon him to the progressive wolves.

But the most consequential of his capitulations to globalist extortion was Operation Warp Speed – the super fast-tracking of the experimental Messenger RNA drugs falsely characterized as “vaccines.” The globalists had maneuvered the president into an impossible no-win situation in which he was being set up to take the blame for the highly exaggerated and relentlessly, breathlessly hyped plandemic death toll, and the only political escape route was to kow-tow to Big Pharma and allow their unproven, highly dubious “remedies” to bypass normal safety protocols and get emergency authorization, complete with immunity from liability.

He made the best of a bad situation by framing the fast-tracking as yet another example of his genuinely superior executive skills, while in reality ALL the globalist players WANTED to neutralize the legal and ethical barriers to the world’s first “universal” vaccine and its promise of vast profits. They only needed President Trump not to oppose them.

That forced surrender to Big Pharma was also sweet revenge against President Trump for his interference with their domestic price-gouging policies. (Here’s the most recent example of their longstanding brazen greed). If you recall, he tried heroically to force price cuts on numerous drugs such as insulin, and had some limited success. But Big Pharma not only won that battle, they made sure he would be punished for having defied them. The all smiles “vaccine” rollout was President Trump’s punishment in the same way that being forced to nominate LGBT Supremacist Anthony Kennedy to the Supreme Court was President Ronald Reagan’s punishment for having tried to put Robert Bork there (a second Scalia who would have solidified a pro-family conservative majority).

I wrote about the Reagan/Trump comparison in “The Borking of Donald Trump”
two weeks before the 2016 election and predicted the following”

“The hyper-‘borking’ of Donald Trump has implications far beyond the American presidency. In my view it is evidence that the globalists have gone to DEFCON 1 and the next step could be actual war. In my opinion it is not mere coincidence that America and British war drums are building an ever louder case for war with Russia in parallel with the Trump v Clinton election. The ostensible rationale for their chest-beating is Syria but I believe the real reason is BREXIT, compounded by the shocking durability of the Trump candidacy and its enboldenment of populists worldwide, portending a future total meltdown of globalist control under a Trump administration. The last resort of the puppet-masters is likely to be orchestrated global chaos, probably through war, economic collapse, or both, providing a justification for the implementation of police-state strategies and tactics.”

I did not anticipate that their method would be a global disease plandemic, but otherwise my prediction hit the bullseye.

I do not blame President Trump for Operation Warp Speed itself because he really had no choice. However, I do fault him for continuing to promote these dangerous drugs as “vaccines” and not fighting for us against Big Pharma and its Big Government and Big Media toadies now that so many of the facts are in about the globalist conspiracy that is still driving covid tyranny worldwide.

President Trump should say something like this:

“My part of Operation Warp Speed was a huge success. I used my executive powers to streamline the rollout process like never before. It was Big Pharma’s job to produce safe and effective drugs, which we now know they didn’t do. It was the government health officials’ job under the Biden administration to track and report the negative side effects and use that information to protect the public, which we now know they didn’t do. And it was Big Media’s job to hold Big Pharma and Big Government accountable which they didn’t do and we frankly knew they would never do, because they are the enemy of the people. If I had real control over those companies, and had been in the White House when the tragic side effects were being covered up, I could have solved these problems, but I wasn’t. So I am proud of my part, which was a success, but I am angered at what the others have done. They took the opportunities I gave them and ruined them like liberals always do.”

I want Donald Trump to have a second term in the White House and will certainly vote for him if he runs in 24 (or 22 and 24 – kudos to Joseph Farah ) despite my concerns. But I am hoping and praying that President Trump will stop serving the interests of corrupt and sociopathic Big Pharma and go back to being our champion against them and against public health tyranny.

Pastor Lively’s First Century Bible Church provides Religious Exemption Letters to Christian believers with a sincere Bible-based objection to the “vaccine” mandates. Go to FCBible.org for more information.

The Satanic agenda is to defile, degrade and destroy human beings individually and collectively because we are made in God’s image. We are created “a little lower than the angels” in our bodies of flesh (Psalm 8), but destined to rule over and “judge angels” after our glorification (1 Corinthians 6:3). For this reason Satan seethes with hatred and jealously against us. He wants to hurt us to hurt God, but his ultimate goal is to fully unravel and “void” all the work of God related to human-kind.

We can see that plan at work in the physical realm. Human civilization can be compared to a mature tree whose growth and form reflect the natural laws and rational order of Creation, as described in Genesis. It’s roots and trunk represent the most broad and fundamental legal and social foundations, and its ever more refined and delicate outgrowing branches are representative of humanity’s spiritual maturation over time.

If we can picture this tree as symbolic of humanity’s growth process from the coarse and crude social order of antiquity toward ever greater Christlikeness, then the so-called culture war is like a disease that works in reverse order to kill the tree, starting from the outer tips of the branches and progressing toward the roots, with Christian losses in the “culture war” reflecting a process of steady devolution.

God’s plan and purpose is always redemptive: order from chaos. But in typical Satanic style, truth and falsehood are reversed as the demonic realm brings chaos from order, and his regressive process is called “progress” by his army of “progressives.”

Early post-flood civilization was morally primitive, but a line of priests “after the order of Melchizadek” apparently existed, and the line of Noah’s son Shem set an example of relatively more Godly conduct over time per the “Noachide Laws” (a rough framework for ethical conduct). Then Abraham was chosen by God to establish a family line through which the rule of law could guide humanity, and one of the first major milestones was reached: the abolishment of human sacrifice among the Hebrews and a refinement of the Messianic theme of “substitutionary atonement” in the story of the “sacrifice” of Isaac. In terms of moral perception humanity was like a toddler in those days and God was an attentive father directly controlled his steps.

Many generations later Moses was then chosen by God to further refine the law, which was delivered to him as God’s Torah (teaching), the first five books of the Bible. The Mosaic law was humanity’s “tutor,” function like a human teacher toward a school child. The child was taught to learn and keep the letter of the law through rituals and rote memorization of set statutes which in turn contained underlying spiritual principles that could be discovered through diligent study and practice by the more advanced students.

As Paul made clear, “the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster” (Galatians 3:24). It had always been possible to come to Christ by faith even before His first coming, and many did, even before the Torah was given (Hebrews 11). That goal was always the purpose of the law. Yet humanity as a whole matured very slowly and only a few exemplars among the chosen people achieved the higher standard. But that was what the Hebrews had been chosen for: to be living examples to the world of the best and worst of humanity (Jeremiah 24), measured and judged by their obedience to or rebellion against the standards God had set (Deuteronomy 28).

Yet, whenever the Hebrews had sufficiently collectively matured, God further refined the law to them and through them. For example, after they had been fully chastised by God in the Babylonian exile, the House of Judah collectively raised their standards on sex and family above the Mosaic Law. The Torah had accommodated some deeply entrenched cultural institutions that technically violated the spirit of His law, such as polygamy, concubinage, divorce and chattel slavery. But upon the return to Jerusalem from Babylon, God caused Ezra and Nehemiah to raise the standards on marriage (e.g. Ezra 10) so that there are no further examples of polygamy seen tolerated among the Hebrews from that point forward. It was moral progress, not perfection all along.

When Jesus came, He set His followers free from bondage to the Mosaic law. Yet even as He rebuked the Hebrews on the matter of divorce in Matthew 19:8, He implicitly acknowledged the accommodative policy on some sins in the Mosaic Law, setting a new and higher standard. This alone is proof that the Mosaic law was not the “perfect law” described in Psalm 19:7. But the point was further clarified by Paul in Hebrews 7:11-12 regarding the distinction between the Levites and the Order of Melchizadek noting that “when the priesthood is changed, of necessity there takes place a change of law also.”

Like students who grow bored and start acting out when their school work is too elementary for their stage of intellectual development, the phenomenon of Phariseeism in the decades leading to the Lord’s earthly ministry showed that the Hebrews had become so adept at keeping the letter of the Mosaic law they were making up their own additional laws to out-legalize each other. In a backhanded way this showed that Hebrew society had collectively matured to the point that the final standard of the perfect law, the spiritual law, could be grasped and followed by those most diligent. However, in their stubbornness, most Jews of that day refused to acknowledge and follow the living spirit of the law because their social, political and religious standing was based upon their proficiency in dead-letter legalism.

Thus, the law of Christ was like graduation from secondary school into adulthood for His followers, who were entrusted to make their own decisions by the guidance of the Holy Spirit rather than keeping the letter of the statutes by obligation. Jesus closed all the loopholes of legalism and imposed a much higher standard on humanity: to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves in all things, retaining as Scripture all prior iterations of the written law and traditions for general reference to augment the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

The Age of the Gentiles can therefore be viewed as the history of human struggle to pursue Christ’s standard, the process of which we call the advance of civilization. We have obviously fallen far short of the standard, but at the same time we have unquestionably matured considerably beyond what existed in the world at the time the Lord walked the earth.

Humanity is in severe crisis globally and it is not accidental. Covid 19 is not the cause, but the method. The crisis is tyranny. Its goal is genocide. The enemy is a highly organized global cabal of transnational Malthusian elites, self-justified by “climate-change” fanaticism and delusions of imperial right. The solution is populist revolution, tempered by Christian judicial ethics.

These conclusions are manifestly true to diligent seekers of objective truth, whose numbers are growing exponentially despite unprecedented levels of suppression, censorship and punishment.

The primary barrier to greater numbers of awakened populists is the unwillingness to believe the elites would deliberately kill millions of people. This is educated speculation on my part as one who has resisted the truth for that reason. The reality is too horrible to want to believe by anyone who desires to see the good in people. But if the Marxist elites can justify the slaughter unborn people by the millions, they can justify the slaughter of the born people in the millions, and have done so in the past – just not in America, or on a global scale .

Evil is real and it’s face today is that of white-robed medical professional injecting healthy not-at-risk children with a dangerous “vaccine” and/or chemicals to “transition” them into sexual mutants. It is the face of sanctimonious political leaders issuing lockdown and vaccination diktats in direct contradiction to essential and unalienable human rights that undergird our civilization. It is the face of master-manipulator news and social media hacks and flaks driving public policy and public opinion to serve Marxist political ends. All of these enemies of the people are doing this without regard for the genocidal consequences – or worse, are knowingly complicit.

These are the two camps of enemies we face: the truly evil psychopaths who know exactly what they’re doing, and their criminally negligent “useful idiot” minions.

Malice is the common law principle that indicts both camps. In law malice is the wicked intention to do injury to another, or the reckless disregard for the consequences of an act which causes injury. The root is the French word “mal” which means “evil,” “bad,” or “wrong,” as in “malfeasance,” which should be the criminal charge brought against all of these co-conspirators.
Malfeasance is the comprehensive term used in criminal and civil law to describe conduct that is wrongful or unlawful, especially by public officials or public employees. Modernly it is not often used as a separate cause of action but only a means of characterizing wrong conduct. A 1981 case in Pennsylvania (Com. v. Bellis), however, stated “Where…the common law offense [of malfeasance] proscribes conduct different from the conduct proscribed in the penal statute [in that case bribery and extortion], the accused may, upon sufficient evidence, be convicted of either or both offenses.”

I’ve been retired from the practice of law for a long time, but as far as I can see there is no charge that could be brought against the public officials complicit in covid plandemic tyranny that quite fits as well as common law malfeasance. I would argue further that, legally speaking, there has never been a situation truly comparable in this country, and the closest comparison would seem to be the Nuremberg trials. That same perspective has inspired EU-based attorneys led by Dr Reiner Fuellmich to initiate legal proceedings there against the CDC, WHO and the Davos Group for crimes against humanity.

To be clear, I expect that suit to fail. The elites will use their controlling power over the established political and legal institutions to thwart and neutralize this and other legal and political threats. I expect ALL the efforts of the people to demand their rights will be crushed with increasing brutality by the police state until there is no other option but violent revolution. (Australia is the current police-state test case.) The timing of the revolt is entirely a question of when the people realize there is no other means of escaping slavery. I hope I’m wrong.

In any Christian discussion of government and politics, the guidance of Romans 13:1-7 is essential:

“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.”

The submission to government commanded in this passage is conditional on its righteousness. To deserve obedience, government must

1) be a terror to evil works,

2) be a minister of God to the citizens for their good, and

3) execute wrath upon evildoers, but never those who do good works.

Critically for American Christians to also consider is the unique form of our government. Unlike the Roman Empire which ruled as a military dictatorship over all the local governments to which the early Christians were subject, America is the worlds first, best and longest lasting constitutional republic. In this system WE are the government, and all the rights and duties of Romans 13 inure to us, both as citizens and as rulers (by delegation of our powers).

That has given special meaning to Romans 13 for Americans since the Declaration of Independence first stated that “whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.”

Has the current American government “become destructive to these ends?” It most certainly has in innumerable ways! To realize the extent of its destructiveness, consider that our government has not only directly and indirectly endorsed and funded the wholesale slaughter and commercial marketing of unborn babies for decades, it has now been exposed for buying and using harvested baby parts for medical research. This factual reality is more ghoulish than any fantasy-based Hollywood horror movie.

So tell me Christians, do we truly have a duty to submit to this government under Romans 13? Or, on the contrary, do we have a duty to dismantle and reform this government forthwith and ensure that the specific evil-doers responsible for these atrocities are properly punished by duly constituted criminal courts for the wickedness they have done against God in our name? In my view that should absolutely include capital punishment for the ones killing these precious innocent babies and carving up their bodies for marketing.

Are we limited in this duty to asking this government – its agencies, law enforcement and courts – to correct themselves? Like the Founders, I think not.

The best method of correction is, of course, the legislative system – to the extent that it can still function as a mechanism of citizen self-government. If that mechanism fails the only options will be submission to tyranny or revolution.

Although many populist voices are already calling for revolution, there is no acknowledgment of the terrible cost we all would pay for choosing that road. Yes, revolution or civil war would be better than living as slaves, but not much. It would be far better to fix our legislative problem before it reaches that stark choice. To do that we must force necessary changes to our elections and purge the Marxists from the seats of power through aggressive cultural and political action. It will require greater effort and resolve that we have yet seen. And it will require that many more Christians stop following a false interpretation of Romans 13 and accept their duties of citizen rule

We Christian citizens, individually and collectively, must become a righteous terror to evil as Romans 13 commands. And we must do that NOW or it will be too late!

If you are a self-starter, ask the Holy Spirit to lead you into action and follow His direction. If you want to be part of a group effort, get involved in one or more political or activist campaigns wherever you live, or run for some office if for no other reason than to have a platform to speak truth from, while forcing the left to spend money against you. Join or start a MAGA group. Join the Republican Party as a constitutionalist change agent and drive out the RINOs. Join the Democrat Party as a spy and feed intel to the conservatives. Get hired by the media and WOKE companies in jobs where you can identify and expose the most rotten people. Be creative in defense of truth and liberty!
