The Desperation of the Damned

“And the people were scorched by intense heat, and they cursed the name of God, who had authority over these plagues; yet they did not repent and give Him glory. And the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness, and men began to gnaw their tongues in anguish and curse the God of heaven for their pains and sores; yet they did not repent of their deeds.” Revelation 16:9-11.

I am writing this on the morning of Yom Teruah, the Feast of Trumpets, which is called Rosh Hashana modernly. Yesterday the most powerful woman in the world, the Torah-defying Jewess and ultra-Leftist Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg died. My thoughts are about the culture of death she so aggressively promoted during her life – what the ancient Hebrew rabbis might call the “worship of unclean things” per the warnings of Deuteronomy and Leviticus – and the effect this idolatry has had on humanity during her highly influential life.

Thanks in significant part to the woman born Joan Ruth Bader in 1933 (the year Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany), wickedness spawned by open defiance of God – and the suppression of the natural law by which it might otherwise be reversed – has taken us to the brink of utter chaos.

In my Hebrew-Roots-influenced eschatology, the Feast of Trumpets is the first of the Ten Days of Awe that will end on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. In Hebrew theology, these ten days, the final ten of forty days of repentance, is the period when God decides one’s fate: the Book of Life or the Lake of Fire. The Resurrection and Rapture will occur on a Feast of Trumpets as described in 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 (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) and 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (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).

On the Day of Atonement, the King of Kings, attended by his Host of Heaven, including the glorified bride-become-wife of God, returns to crush the wicked and save the Hebrews (and the mixed-multitude per Exodus 12:38) in the final event of the ten days, the Winepress of God’s Wrath (which prophecy inspired our “Battle Hymn of the Republic” during the Civil War) a final iteration of the pattern established in Exodus, complete with a splitting of the Mount of Olives by Jesus, paralleling the dividing of the waters by Moses (Zechariah 14:1-5).

While the instantaneously Glorified Bride of Christ ascends into the spiritual realm to celebrate the Wedding Feast of the Lamb and receive their assignments for the Millennial Kingdom, the rest of humanity endure Ten Days of Wrath as the Bowl Judgments are poured out upon the earth. These people who are “left behind” include the wicked, the deceived-unsaved, and the 144,000 Hebrews of the Twelve Tribes (sealed against death per Revelation 7:1-8). Their time of wrath is not seven years but ten days (Revelation 2:10), the last ten days of the seven year Shemitah during which the tribulation occurs (the time of testing named for the Roman wheat-threshing sledge, the tribulum, by which wheat and chaff are separated before the wheat is taken into the barn and the chaff is burned (Matthew 3:12).

Jesus specifically taught this chronology in Matthew 24-25, which I explain in detail in Parts 2
and 3 of The Prodigal Son Prophecy.

Once I firmly grasped this teaching, the Olivet Discourse, I aligned the Book of Revelation to it and made some astonishing discoveries. Perhaps the most profound was a new perspective on the letters to the seven churches, which inspired Chapter Three: The Letters to the Left-Behind.

In it I show how the seven messages in Revelation 2-3 have a dual audience, the righteous and not-quite righteous (the deceived-unsaved), and that the overarching lesson is that those left behind (in outer darkness where there is wailing and gnashing of teeth) have a final chance during these ten days to repent and be spared the Lake of Fire. Most will die during this time, but if they “endure to the end” their rewards will be secured at the second resurrection at the close of the Millennial Kingdom (Revelation 20). Some will survive and be a part of the mixed multitude saved by Jesus on the Day of Atonement, repopulating the earth along with the Hebrews during that thousand year Sabbath “day” when the earth will be regenerated like the Garden of Eden while Satan and the wicked remain locked in chains.

The Letters to the Left Behind is the subject of Part 6 of my serial release of The Prodigal Son Prophecy in PDF and video form. If you are not already on my email list, ask for this offer by name to scottlivelyministries@gmail.com for a free copy.

How close are we to the Ten Days of Awe/Wrath? One measure is the desperation of the damned. The Devil knows his time is short, and he is desperate, as are his followers in this world. For them, our president is “the last Trump,” and if he succeeds in holding the presidency – surviving the full fury of their combined wrath and the total depletion of their political arsenal – their oh-so-close-to-fulfilment vision of global Socialist Utopia will be shattered.

That was yesterday. Today their heroine “RBG” is dead and Trump has the power and the will to replace her with a Constitutionalist. To quote Shakespear’s Julius Caesar “ Fierce civil war will paralyze all of [America]…People’s capacity for sympathy will grow tired and weak from the sheer quantity of cruel deeds. And Caesar’s ghost, searching for revenge with the goddess Ate by his side, just up from Hell, will cry in the voice of a king, “Havoc!” and unleash the dogs of war.”

What defines the wicked, and makes them so desperate, is not the evil of their deeds, but their refusal to repent. If God could forgive David and Solomon, God could forgive RBG and her baby-slaughtering, sodomy-championing allies – if they would only repent. But some would rather gnaw their own tongues in agony than submit to God. I hope that Joan Bader repented and is spared the torment Jesus took upon Himself on her behalf – just as I want that for every sinner, and for all those who will be “left behind” with a ten day “second chance” at the Lord’s soon return.

Photo: On March 9, 2015, Dr. Lively and supporter Bob S. visit the US Supreme Court in Washington DC to protest the refusal of Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Elena Kagan to recuse themselves from the ‘gay marriage’ case, Obergefell v Hodges, despite each of them having performed a same-sex “wedding” ceremony during the pendency of the case, the most egregious violations of judicial ethics in the history of the court, destroying the court’s most important hallmark of credibility, the essential presumption of impartiality owed to every plaintiff and defendant in every case before it. Ginsberg, arguably the most powerful woman in the world due to her position on the court, literally defiled the courthouse by presiding over the her faux “marriage” officiation in the Supreme Court building itself. It is for this reason that Dr. Lively, a constitutional law attorney, insists the Obergefell case is invalid on its face, because it “passed” only with the Ginsberg and Kagan votes.

The Hidden Calendar in the Gospel of John

During my roughly twenty-five years in the mainstream of evangelical Christianity I heard many times that the main distinction of the Gospel of John from the three synoptic (summary-form) Gospels was that John’s was topical while the others were chronological. However, after I discovered the Hebrew Roots Movement and Messianic Judaism, I started independently studying Scripture from the Hebrew cultural perspective of the Apostles. That opened my eyes to the powerful role of symbolism in Biblical history and prophecy, which in turn illuminated to me a hidden feast-based calendar in the Gospel of John. I now recognize that John’s “topical” Gospel is actually the most chronological of the four, and that the topics addressed in it align neatly with the nine-feast holiday cycle observed by the Hebrews at the time of Jesus’ earthly ministry.

To be clear, I am not a member of the formal Hebrew Roots Movement per se, nor of Messianic Judaism, but I am so impressed by the insights they provide to Scripture, I have designed my newly launched First Century Bible Church to be a place for mainstream Christians and Messianic Jews to interface for mutual benefit.

The secret to recognizing the hidden calendar in John is to look for the symbols associated with the seven Hebrew feasts of Leviticus 23, plus Hanukkah and Purim. Symbols and themes are frequently used in Scripture to establish context in a way that will be obvious to those with a Hebrew cultural perspective, but invisible to the uninitiated. Jesus relied heavily on this tactic to communicate with the authentic Hebrew Yahweh-worshipers in His audience through parables, which He did for the express purpose of hiding His message from others. His disciples asked “ ‘Why do You speak to the people in parables?’ He replied, ‘The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. This is why I speak to them in parables….In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled.”

That prophecy from Isaiah 6 (in context with subsequent chapters) explained that this form of hidden communication was in furtherance of God’s decision to desolate the Holy Land until the season of His second coming. Even Jesus’ explanation to the disciples about the season of restoration in Matthew 24:32-33 was hidden beneath symbolism: the fig tree, symbolic of the House of Judah (e.g. Jeremiah 24), which has been restored to the Holy Land since 1948 (or 1917 if you date her return from the Balfour Declaration).

If you start a study of John by first identifying the symbols and themes associated with the nine-feast calendar in use during Christ’s first advent, its secrets pop from the text like barley sprouts on a warm spring morning.

One benefit to recognizing the hidden calendar is that it proves Jesus’ ministry was 3 ½ years long, debunking a popular argument that it was a much shorter period of time. One of my charts “The Sequence of the Hebrew Feasts in John Passage by Passage” shows this graphically. Another chart “The Hebrew Feast Cycle in the Gospel of John” identifies the symbols associated with each of the nine feasts and shows how the sequence of the feasts aligns with the four seasons.

Perhaps most surprising to me in my exploration of the hidden calendar in John was the enormity of the role of Hanukkah. Hanukkah is not one of the Biblically mandated feasts of Leviticus 23, but it was designated a national holiday by the Maccabees in 165BC and is highly prophectic of the second coming of Christ when He will cleanse the Third Temple (following its defilement by the end-times Antichrist) in the same manner that the deliverer-figure “Judah the Hammer” Maccabee cleansed the Second Temple after its defilement by Antiochus IV Epiphanes (the Antichrist figure of Daniel 11).

Hanukkah is also known as the Feast of Lights and the Feast of Dedication. The theme of Jesus as “the light of the world” not only dominates the opening of the Gospel in John 1:1-14, it also dominates Chapters 8-10 which address events related to Jesus’ final Hanukkah celebration before He fulfilled the prophecy of the three Spring Feasts and Pentecost in Chapters 11-21.

Even the “topical” teachings of these three chapters prove this case. For example, John 8 opens with the story of the woman caught in adultery. Adultery is closely analogous to idolatry in the Bible (see Hosea 1-3), and the Hanukkah story heavily features Jewish idolatry fostered by Antiochus.

When Jesus forgives the adulteress, He is also symbolically offering the Jews forgiveness for their past idolatry. This would not have been lost on these Jews, for whom the Hanukkah story was as recent as the Civil War to Americans. Moreover, when “Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with His finger,” they would have instantly connected the symbolic similarity to “drawing a line in the sand” and its unmistakable association with Antiochus (who was famously threatened with war by Rome if he “crossed the line” drawn around him in the sand without first renouncing his plan to attack Egypt.

This being so “outside the box” of common teaching, some may balk at this interpretation, but immediately following that account, Jesus declares in John 8:12 “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life,” followed by several additional topical clues. And John 10:22 states specifically “At that time the Feast of Dedication took place in Jerusalem,” a closing bookend confirming the three-chapter Hanukkah theme.

To be sure, studying symbols and themes can be like following a cryptic treasure map compared to the (fully valid) plain surface meaning of the text, but the diligence it requires is a trait God loves to see us develop.

The Marxists have been working feverishly to establish tyrannical control over America ever since Donald Trump was elected in 2016. The Russian Collusion Hoax, the Impeachment Scam, the Covid 19 Plandemic, the BLM/Antifa Riots, and whatever new assault they have planned for an October Surprise, their Hate America Coalition has been simply relentless.

All of these efforts have had one goal: to remove President Trump by any means necessary in order to proceed with the last stage of their campaign to fundamentally transform America into a Socialist State. They are desperate to pick up where Barack Obama left off, to push through the final coup-de-gras culture-flipping laws and policies that Hillary Clinton was intended to enact.

But Donald Trump not only made himself an immovable boulder in their path, he has, like George Washington, led a revolution to wrest control of our national institutions and our cities from the occupying Marxist forces of the Deep State and the Purple Uniparty. Like Mad King George, this has infuriated them. Yet it also proved that the independent spirit of the American people is not as much diminished as they had believed.

Thus, their third political blitzkrieg, the “lock-down to take-down the economy” Plandemic, needed to include heavy-handed measures to cow the people into submission, to “show everyone who’s boss.” And they’ve succeeded – at least temporarily. Mandatory face mask policies have been the very visible measure of their success in bending almost all Americans to their will, especially as the evidence has mounted that masks simply don’t work, and in fact cause increasing harm the longer one wears one.

And, on top of that, despite all the devious manipulations of the death count, the active suppression of the safe, cheap and readily available miracle drug Hydroxychloroquine, and apparently deliberate infection of the very elderly and infirm to boost the lethality statistics, the truth is finally out that Covid 19 was never severe enough a disease to justify the unprecedented quarantining of all the healthy people of the world and the serious consequent damage to the global social infrastructure that keeps the poorest of the poor alive, and the rest of us productive and employed. America’s ability as the nation in control of the world’s reserve currency, to authorize and print trillions of dollars in new money at the drop of a hat, is the only thing that prevented a global economic collapse (at least in the short term).

The American people aren’t stupid (excepting those who actually trust the fake news legacy media). We went along with the program when it was driven by panic-mongering projections we couldn’t disprove, and later perpetuated by the double-talking supposed “expert” Anthony Fauchi, but now the facts are in – the actual facts based on actual investigations that only the alternative media and “rogue” scientists (as distinct from the elitist white-robed whores beholden to Big Pharma) actually do these days.

During the Revolutionary War, patriotic Americans united against tyranny by the globalists of their day, the British Monarchy and its powerful armies, and finally they defeated the tyrants in the Battle of Yorktown, Virginia, October 19th, 1781. The colonial army had mopping up to do after Yorktown, but the war was essentially won on that day.

On October 19th, 2020, in remembrance of our great game-changing victory at Yorktown, I am proposing a National “Drop the Masks” Day as a statement of patriotic defiance of tyrannical government overreach and am calling upon every freedom-loving American to simply refuse to wear a facemask on that day.

Let this be a truly grass-roots effort of the silent pro-Trump majority. No organizational hub for the enemy to target, just a person-to-person populist uprising, encouraged and promoted by every anti-globalist with a platform from which to advertise it. Feel free to lead your own anti-mask rebellion and encourage others to do the same. Why not do a public pro-Trump stand-out on that day as well, with “Drop the Masks Day: October 19th” signs added in.

On October 19th, I look forward to seeing your smiling faces again in every public and private location, reminding the world that it is We the People who make America the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave, and this is still OUR COUNTRY.
