Isaiah 26 - The Rapture and The Day of the Lord

The name of this website is "Behold, I come quickly," because Jesus is coming quickly. I believe 100% that we are the last generation, standing on the doorstep of the end of the age. The Rapture (see posts here and here) and the Day of the Lord (see here) are just around the corner.

I have no doubt about it.

I just realized something else this morning, something the Lord showed me: Isaiah 26 ties it all together, both the Rapture and the Day of the Lord.

Read chapter 25 if you want to get the full sense of prophetic imagery in this passage. But here we'll start with chapter 26, verse 19:

"Your dead will live;
Their corpses will rise.
You who lie in the dust, awake and shout for joy,
For your dew is as the dew of the dawn,
And the earth will give birth to the departed spirits."
 - Isaiah 26:19

In this verse, the spirits of the dead (the Lord's dead) rise again out of the grave, out of the earth. Sounds kind of creepy, but where have we heard this before? The Apostle Paul elaborates on this event in 1 Thessalonians:

"For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then 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 shall always be with the Lord."
 - 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17

When Jesus comes, the Lord's dead will rise out of the earth and ascend into the air, and then those who are still alive will also go up to meet the Lord. This is the Rapture, the just-in-time rescue of all the saints.

Continuing with Isaiah:

"Come, my people, enter into your rooms
And close your doors behind you;
Hide for a little while
Until indignation runs its course."
 - Isaiah 26:20

Jesus hides his people for a little while until the indignation runs its course. What is the indignation? This is Satan's one-world beast kingdom, the New World Order, the Great Tribulation, the time of distress such has never occurred nor ever will again. It lasts three and a half years, according to Daniel and the Book of Revelation. We are hidden away and protected during this time. Hidden in heaven.

"For behold, the Lord is about to come out from His place
To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity;
And the earth will reveal her bloodshed
And will no longer cover her slain."
 - Isaiah 26:21

Ah, here is the Day of the Lord! When the Lamb of God rides on a white horse and leads the armies of heaven to defend Israel, defeat the enemies of God and establish his throne in Jerusalem.

"In that day the Lord will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent,
With His fierce and great and mighty sword,
Even Leviathan the twisted serpent;
And He will kill the dragon who lives in the sea."
 - Isaiah 27:1

Who is Leviathan, the fleeing serpent, the twisted serpent, the dragon who lives in the sea (of humanity)? You know who that is. He will be bound for a thousand years on the Day of the Lord. Then, finally, the earth will know peace and righteous rule.

Come soon, Jesus!

The Armenian Genocide, the Nature of Evil, and the Unfathomable Love of Christ

This article by David Kupelian is one of the best exposés on the nature of evil and its inverse - the unfathomable love of Christ - that I have ever read:

THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE AND MY GRANDMOTHER'S SECRET
'A distant signal was given – it sounded something like a trumpet …'

The Day of the Lord Is Near!

The Day of the Lord is coming soon! God has impressed on me several times recently how He looks forward to this magnificent day. 

What is the Day of the Lord? This is when the nations of the world gather their armies to attack Israel, and Jesus himself comes down to Jerusalem leading the armies of heaven to defeat the enemies of God and bind Satan for a thousand years. This Day is also the moment when the house of Israel, the Hebrew people as a nation, finally recognize Jesus as their messiah and embrace him. After the battle, Jesus will establish his throne in Jerusalem and reign for a thousand years on earth. We will no longer have governments run by men since Jesus himself will rule from Jerusalem as King of kings. This time is also creation's Sabbath rest, when the lion lies down with the lamb and there is finally peace on earth, after 6,000 years of striving under the fall of man and dominion of Satan.

The Day of the Lord is the final battle and culmination of this age, and marks the beginning of the Millennial Kingdom. I believe the Lord wants us to realize this Day is coming soon and to look forward to it with the same anticipation and enthusiasm He does!

On January 3, 2015, 10:44 a.m., I was sitting in a cabin in the mountains of Idaho and had read this passage in Ezekiel:

"In My zeal and in My blazing wrath I declare that on that day there will surely be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. The fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all the creeping things that creep on the earth, and all the men who are on the face of the earth will shake at My presence; the mountains also will be thrown down, the steep pathways will collapse and every wall will fall to the ground."
- Ezekiel 38:19-20

Then I heard the window frames squeak and felt the floor shake. It felt like an earthquake! It was! Later in the day I pulled up the Drudge Report and saw an article about an earthquake in Challis, Idaho:

http://www.idahostatesman.com/2015/01/03/3571708_49-earthquake-hits-challis-reportedly.html?rh=1

But it was more than an earthquake. God was telling me something: Pay attention to the earthquake, pay attention to the details in the passage. I looked at other prophetic passages in Scriptures with similar details (the Lord coming to defend Israel, the sun and moon darkened, earthquakes, Mount of Olives split in two, etc.) and realized they all referred to the same event. They are all descriptions of the Day of the Lord:

• Zechariah 9:10-17 - The Lord of hosts appears over Israel and defends his people
• Zechariah 12-14 - The Lord defends Jerusalem and the people turn to him in repentance
• Joel 2-3 - The Day of the Lord and the great army of God
• Matthew 24:27-31 - The Coming of the Lord
• Revelation 16:16-21 - Battle of Armageddon. 
• Revelation 19:11 to 20:3 - The Lamb of God rides on a white horse with a sword, leading the armies of heaven to defeat the enemies of God, the beast, the false prophet and Satan.

By reading all of these passages, you will have a great understanding of that magnificent day.

Here is a summary of events of the Day of the Lord:

• In the latter days of this age, the Jews will return to inhabit the land of Israel and live securely. This has been fulfilled, and continues to happen as Jews from around the world move to Israel.
• A great army of many nations from far and near will gather to attack Israel. God's fury will arise against the attacking army.
• The sun and moon will be darkened and the stars will fall from the sky.
• Jesus will appear in the sky as a warrior king leading the armies of heaven to battle the enemies of God.
• Those who went up to meet the Lord in the air during the Rapture will ride in the army of heaven. At this time, we will have immortal bodies like the angels. (See Revelation 19 and pay close attention to what the bride of the Lamb and the army of heaven are wearing. It's the same!)
• There will be a great earthquake in Israel. The Mount of Olives will be split from east to west.
• The people of Israel will fight as mighty warriors with the Lord defending them. Even so, two-thirds of the people will perish, and one-third will come through the fire, refined as silver and tested as gold.  
• There will be a great panic among the soldiers in the invading army, and they will turn against one another. Fire, hail and brimstone will fall on them and a plague will rot their flesh.
• The invading army will be completely destroyed and birds will eat their flesh. It will take seven months for Israel to bury all the fallen soldiers.
• All the nations will know the Lord is the Holy One of Israel.
• The house of Israel will weep in repentance and embrace Jesus as their Messiah, and God will pour out his Spirit on them.
• Jesus, the Lamb of God, will be king over all the earth with his throne in Jerusalem.
• "And in that day the mountains will drip with sweet wine, and the hills will flow with milk, and all the brooks of Judah will flow with water; and a spring will go out from the house of the Lord to water the valley of Shittim." - Joel 3:18

-------
I am convinced God very much looks forward to this Day. If He didn't, He wouldn't have mentioned it so many times in Scripture!

So where are we in the timeline of apocalyptic events? I believe it goes like this:

1) The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse ride (right now).
2) Rapture
3) Great Tribulation - 42 months of Satan's one-world beast kingdom
4) Day of the Lord
5) Millennial Kingdom of Christ
6) New Heaven and New Earth - eternity with God

In the meantime, eyes on Jesus and persevere to the end!

Seek Justice, Walk Righteous, Be Shrewd as the Devil

I just wanted to pass along what the Lord has impressed on me about how to operate in the days ahead:

"Seek justice,
Reprove the ruthless,
Defend the orphan,
Plead for the widow."
- Isaiah 1:17

Seek justice. In this verse, the God is pointing out what Israel needed to do to repent and turn back to him. The people's failure to seek justice provoked God's anger and judgment against Judah and Jerusalem.  

Note that seeking justice has two aspects:

1. Stand up against oppressors.
2. Stand up for the oppressed.

"Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves."

- Matthew 10:16

Be shrewd as the devil and walk righteous. If there is ever a time when Jesus' disciples are going out as sheep among wolves, it is the days ahead.

Serpents, in this verse, are a metaphor for the devil. And wow, is the devil shrewd! Jesus wants his children to be as shrewd as the devil: Wise, knowing, clever, canny.

The other half of this verse is to walk in the ways of the Lord: Love, truth, righteousness. 


"But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy."
- James 3:7

Finally, be at peace. God is a God of peace.

Wake Up, You Live in The Matrix #6 - Google searches are censored

I just wanted to let you know that in spite of Google's corporate motto, "Don't be evil," it is evil. Google is a front end for the NSA that feeds data about you and me to the government. But now Google is also censoring search results to conform with government propaganda.

As an example, the chart below shows daily traffic to my blog over the last month. Notice that in the last week traffic has fallen drastically. Well, my blog stopped receiving nearly all Google search referrals about a week ago, even though prior to that point Google search referrals were growing. Why? I believe Google censored my blog so it doesn't appear as high in the rankings. Instead of coming up on, say, page 1 or 2, it is more like page 100. So people can't find it.

So if you are searching on a controversial topic, don't use Google. I would use Ixquick.com, duckduckgo.com or goodgopher.com instead, or one of the credible news and information sites listed in this blog post:

http://mystic2020.blogspot.com/2015/03/wake-up-you-live-in-matrix-4-corporate.html

P.S. Dave Hodges at The Common Sense Show confirmed that Google is censoring information on its search engine about the Jade Helm martial law drill:

The Washington Post and Google Conspire to Conceal the Truth about Jade Helm 15

Google began censoring this blog after I posted the Alex Jones video about Jade Helm.

P.P.S. By the way, shadowbanning is a term for when social media or Internet search companies artificially suppress a person's content, website or account in their rankings. It is a deceptive way to censor. Google, Facebook and Twitter all engage in this practice to shape public opinion and push ideological agendas.

Wake Up, You Live in The Matrix #5 - One Minute to Midnight

The 16-minute video segment below by Alex Jones is a must-watch. You need to understand how long the take-down of America has been in the works, and how late the hour is:

ARMY and Mainstream Media Launch DisInfo Psyop Against American People

Be Sealed for Divine Protection

This is a follow-on to the Four Horsemen post.

Last weekend I felt led to read Ezekiel chapters 1-12. I believe these prophetic Scriptures apply to America today as they did to ancient Jerusalem prior to its destruction by Babylon. Note the punchline at the end of Ezekiel 12. Time is up. More on this in a later post.

Something else important jumped out to me in Ezekiel 9. Here is the whole chapter:

Then He cried out in my hearing with a loud voice saying, "Draw near, O executioners of the city, each with his destroying weapon in his hand." Behold, six men came from the direction of the upper gate which faces north, each with his shattering weapon in his hand; and among them was a certain man clothed in linen with a writing case at his loins. And they went in and stood beside the bronze altar.

Then the glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub on which it had been, to the threshold of the temple. And He called to the man clothed in linen at whose loins was the writing case. The Lord said to him, "Go through the midst of the city, even through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations which are being committed in its midst." But to the others He said in my hearing, "Go through the city after him and strike; do not let your eye have pity and do not spare. Utterly slay old men, young men, maidens, little children, and women, but do not touch any man on whom is the mark; and you shall start from My sanctuary." So they started with the elders who were before the temple. And He said to them, "Defile the temple and fill the courts with the slain. Go out!" Thus they went out and struck down the people in the city. As they were striking the people and I alone was left, I fell on my face and cried out saying, “Alas, Lord God! Are You destroying the whole remnant of Israel by pouring out Your wrath on Jerusalem?”

Then He said to me, "The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is very, very great, and the land is filled with blood and the city is full of perversion; for they say, 'The Lord has forsaken the land, and the Lord does not see!' But as for Me, My eye will have no pity nor will I spare, but I will bring their conduct upon their heads."
Then behold, the man clothed in linen at whose loins was the writing case reported, saying, "I have done just as You have commanded me."

------------------------------------------

When God judges a nation, calamity falls on everyone. Like war or natural disaster, no one is spared.

However, God will protect a remnant, a group who of people who are his own and seek refuge in the Almighty. See Psalm 91. Even as judgment falls on America, God will literally send an army of angels to protect his people.

From this passage in Ezekiel, notice the characteristics of a person who the Lord seals for divine protection: Those who sigh and groan over the sins and abominations of the nation. What feelings would cause the sighing and groaning? Mourning, sadness, shame, revulsion. Those who feel as God does about the waywardness of a nation are the ones he chooses to seal. God wants his people to see our nation through his holy eyes, not through the eyes of a fallen world.

In contrast, who is not sealed? 

• The rebellious - Those who are participating in and promoting the rebellion, corruption and idolatry. They are subject to judgment.
• The deluded - Those who deny the extent of corruption and spiritual decay of a nation, and thereby become accomplices in it. By the way, the idolatry of false patriotism keeps many people in a state of denial. This is a view of America as some paragon of virtue that is justified no matter what sins she commits. No matter how many people she kills in foreign wars, no matter how many unborn babies killed, no matter how much perversion and idolatry flow from her. I believe America was founded as a righteous nation. I am patriot of the American Republic that once was. But America today is fallen and lawless. Babylon is fallen.
• The apathetic and indifferent - Those who simply don't care. These are the people absorbed in their own selfish pursuits, making sure they get theirs, enjoying the worldly pleasures of life, and who don't much care about the decay and corruption around them, certainly not to the point of moaning and sighing.

My friends, you don't want to face what's coming without the protection of the Lord. Please wake up, seek the Lord and be sealed.

One more thing. When God judges a nation, it is always with an eye toward putting an end to the abominations and paving the way for healing and restoration:

Therefore the Lord God of hosts,

The Mighty One of Israel, declares,

"Ah, I will be relieved of My adversaries

And avenge Myself on My foes.

"I will also turn My hand against you,

And will smelt away your dross as with lye

And will remove all your alloy.

"Then I will restore your judges as at the first,

And your counselors as at the beginning;

After that you will be called the city of righteousness,

A faithful city."

- Isaiah 1:24-26

The Four Horsemen Have Begun to Ride

I am going to make a bold, unsettling statement that I believe is true. Then I'll explain why I believe it.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have mounted and begun to ride. By this I mean the horsemen in the vision of Apostle John that is recorded in Revelation 6, which bring conquest, war, famine, privation and death in their wake. The horsemen are soon coming to America. 

That's the bad news. The good news is an even greater event is tucked into Revelation 6 - Jesus is coming!

How Can We Know That?

By faith.

Some will ask how I or anyone can possibly know such a thing. Well, I've already written about how Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth. Jesus said his sheep hear his voice, and they follow him. I've also written here and here about how the spirit of prophecy is alive and well, and God in his mercy forewarns his people about what is coming so they can prepare for it. 

Can I prove indisputably the Four Horsemen have begun to ride? Not any more than I can prove God exists or that Jesus' blood reconciles us with him. I believe these things by faith, the evidence of things not seen. 

"By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith."
- Hebrews 11:7

(By the way, the time to build an ark is before the flood. Once the rains begin, it's too late.)

What's Coming Next?

In the fall of 2013 I woke up to the realization that America is on a very dangerous path. I realized things are not as they seem on the surface, that the conventional understanding of history, economics, politics and geopolitics are woefully inadequate. We are heading into financial, social, political collapse and war. I spent a year studying these topics and, metaphorically speaking, drinking from a fire hose to understand the times we are living in. It was overwhelming at times, and there were days I was simply in mourning for what's coming on our nation. But it was a mercy to be awakened and to have this time to absorb this reality, make peace with it, and prepare spiritually, intellectually, emotionally and materially.

Just before last Thanksgiving, I asked, "Now what, Lord? What's coming next?"

I listened to a radio interview of John Shorey about the end times events in Revelation 6 and elsewhere. He discussed various wars and how he believed that the Pale Horse that brings death over one quarter of the earth includes the destruction of Mystery Babylon in Revelation 17-18. I am convinced America is Mystery Babylon (more on this in a later post), so that got my attention. Shorey also said that he thought the Rapture appears in Revelation 6:12-17, which had also occurred to me. All of this resonated. The more I thought and prayed about it, the more I sensed the Lord impress on my heart Revelation 6. As in, that is the answer to my prayer. That is what's coming next.

I shared this with my wife. A day or two later we drove home from Seattle. Crossing a barren stretch of Eastern Washington, everyone had quieted down and the kids were asleep. I flipped on the radio and there was a man reading Bible scriptures. He said, "Next we are going to read... Revelation chapter 6." He proceed to read the whole chapter. Wow, that was a confirmation.

When I got home, I heard the evangelist Anita Fuentes read the latest prophetic dreams from Pastor T.D. Hale, who has had other prophetic dreams about Obama and America, some of which have already been fulfilled. In the latest dreams, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse mounted and began to ride. There it was again! Also in his dream, lights all around the world shot up into the sky, which I think is a reference to the Rapture.

After that, my mom shared a vivid dream of her own. In it a black horse was trying to stomp on her, but she stood to the side of it and had it by the reins. People were telling her to watch out, but she said it was okay, she had it under control. I told her that is probably the Black Horse in Revelation 6, which brings famine and privation.

Later my mom had another dream that featured a pale green horse. She took out a wash cloth, wet it and said that was the color of it. I don't why I know this, but the Greek word for pale in Revelation is 6 is chloros, which is the root for English words like chlorine and chlorophyll, implying a shade of green. Chloros can mean pale or ashen as well as sickly green. My mom saw the Pale Horse in her dream.

The Four Horsemen

Folks, the Four Horsemen are coming. Please read Revelation 6:1-8 for the details, but here is a summary:

• White Horse - Conquest. Carries a bow and wears a crown. 
• Red Horse - War and violence. Carries a great sword.
• Black Horse - Famine and privation. It says a quart of wheat costs a denarius, which is a day's wages. Imagine if you had to spend a whole day's wages to buy enough wheat to feed one person. That's famine.
• Pale Horse - Death. Given authority over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine, pestilence and wild beasts. By the way, wild beasts can mean animals but also can have a metaphorical meaning of "savage beasts." Those of you who are familiar with Genesis 6 and the days of Noah, think Nephilim and Rephaim.

For people who are living in the Middle East, North Africa, Ukraine and Nigeria, one could argue the Four Horsemen have already begun to ride. ISIS, Boko Haram and other Islamic militant groups are conquering and slaughtering and enslaving people by the tens of thousands, especially Christians. Millions have been displaced and fled to other regions or refugee camps and suffer privation. In Ukraine, the death toll from the NATO vs Russia proxy war is probably around 50,000 according to German intelligence services, though you won't hear that from the American lamestream media.

Slain for the Word of God

In Revelation 6:9-11, after the fifth seal is broken, the souls of those who were slain for their faith in Jesus cried out and asked, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, will you refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" They were given a white robe and told to wait a little while longer until the number of those slain should be completed.

Remember the 21 Coptic Christians who recently were beheaded by ISIS militants on a beach in Libya? Even as the blades were brought to their necks, they all cried in unison, “Ya Rabbi Yasou" or "O My Lord Jesus." They are now in heaven and among those crying out for justice.

The Rapture and the Wrath of the Lamb

After the sixth seal is broken, there is an earthquake, the sun turns dark and the moon like blood, the stars fall and the sky splits apart like a rolled-up scroll. This is exactly the imagery that accompanies the return of Jesus Christ in Matthew 24 and Isaiah 13. The people of the earth, or I should say those who remain, are shaken with fear and say to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; for the great day of their wrath has come; and who is able to stand?"

Whose presence and wrath are they afraid of? Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, because he is there! This is the moment of deliverance for God's people, when we are spirited away to heaven before the great tribulation. 

However, those who are enemies of Christ, who reject him, must remain for the tribulation, which is the wrath of the Lamb. This is described in more detail in Revelation chapters 8-11. But God is merciful, and even those who go into the tribulation can yet call out to him and be forgiven.

144,000 from the Tribes of Israel Sealed

A few days ago I came to understand that Revelation chapters 6-11 are chronologically sequential, as are Revelation 17-21.

So, moving on to Revelation 7:1-8, you can see how the events of the wrath on earth are temporarily halted while 144,000 people from the tribes of Israel are sealed for protection. Why? Because the Hebrews as a people embrace the Messiah at the very end of the great tribulation, on the Day of the Lord, the Battle of Armageddon, when Jesus himself returns to defend Jerusalem against the nations of the world (see Zechariah chapters 12-14). God makes sure a remnant is preserved to the very end.

The Multitudes before the Throne of God

Next the scene switches to heaven where a great multitude from every tribe and nation stands before the throne of God and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes (representing purity) and praising God.

It says these are the saints who came out of the great tribulation and have been made clean by the blood of the Lamb. Do you see? These are the ones who were removed from the BEGINNING of the great tribulation, during the Rapture! (For more Scriptures about the Rapture and its general timing, click here.)

"They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; neither shall the sun beat down on them, nor any heat; for the lamb in the center of the throne shall be their shepherd, and shall guide them to springs of the water of life and God shall wipe every tear from their eyes."

Just a Little Bit Longer

We really have only a little bit longer to go. Prepare yourself for the Four Horsemen and keep your eyes on Jesus because he is coming soon!

Wake Up, You Live in The Matrix #4 - Corporate and Grassroots Media are Manipulated

Here is a great 10-minute talk by Sharyl Atkisson, one of the few mainstream journalists I admire and who unreservedly pursues the truth:

Astroturf and manipulation of media messages, Sharyl Attkisson, TEDx UniversityofNevada

We know the corporate media is corrupt and controlled, but Atkisson describes the sophisticated methods that the establishment uses to manipulate the masses with nonprofits, professional societies and the Internet. It is troubling. 

The Whole World in the Power of the Evil One

About a year and half ago I began to wake up to the full extent of deception in the institutions we are taught to trust, like government, academia, corporations and media. It was a rude awakening and overwhelming at times. The further down the rabbit hole I went, the more massive and sinister the lies became. However, after seeing through the deception, the world began to make sense when it didn't before. In that way it was liberating.

For instance, I saw the Democrat vs. Republican, left vs. right political paradigm is a deception. It is designed to engage the public in a false, hopeless drama while the power elite control the core of both parties, advancing their agenda incrementally. I realized the solution to our problem wasn't to be found in national politics.

Eventually I reached the bottom of the rabbit hole and found myself face to face with the devil himself, or at least his work in the world. This isn't surprising if you take the Scriptures at face value. 

"...the whole world lies in the power of the evil one." - 1 John 5:19

"...the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving..." - 2 Corinthians 4:4

Satan isn't a metaphor or abstraction. He is in fact a powerful and highly intelligent angelic entity - a cherub to be specific. He is the "god" (with a lower case g) of this age and the whole world is under his sway. The angels who followed Satan in rebellion against God are just as real. They are inter-dimensional beings who interfere with and exert control over the affairs of men. In the ancient world, these beings posed as gods for men to worship. Where do you think the pantheon of Greek gods came from ? Or ancient Egyptian or Babylonian gods? Or Mayan and Aztek gods? These weren't simply products of the fertile imaginations of men. These were actual beings who offered worldly power, wealth and pleasure in exchange for worship and moral corruption. 

These days, fallen angels like to pass themselves off as visitors from other galaxies. By that I mean aliens. But that's a topic for another time.

If Scriptures say the whole world lies in the power of the evil one, is it surprising that the media establishment has been co-opted for propaganda and disinformation? If Satan is the father of lies who blinds the minds of the unbelieving, doesn't it make sense that he uses a matrix of deception to manipulate and enslave? If Satan masquerades as an angel of light, isn't his best deception to appear good while selling a huge lie?

However, many assume that worldly institutions and conventional wisdom are truthful and good, unless clearly and obviously shown otherwise. I'm afraid this is naive. Christians should be more skeptical and discerning. Jesus said, "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves." Jesus wants his children to be as shrewd as the devil, while walking uprightly. So it's important to do our homework and think for ourselves to get at the truth. 

Otherwise we're going to get played. And these days the stakes are high.

The Media Good Guys

Below is a list of the sources of news, information and analysis that I believe are credible and worthwhile. Please note I am not saying everything these sources say are always correct. Exercise your own judgment and discernment. But they are genuine seekers of truth.

• Steve Quayle's website
• Hagmann & Hagmann Report
• Dave Hodge's The Common Sense Show
• Alex Jones' Infowars
• Walid Shoebat's website
• V the Guerilla Economist's Rogue Money
• Dr. Jim Willie's GoldenJackass.com
• Dr. Jim Garrow's Facebook page
• John B. Wells' Caravan to Midnight
• John Williams' Shadow Government Statistics
• Dahboo7 
• Drudge Report
• Breitbart

The last two I would say are sort of half mainstream and half alternative, but still offer much good information.

WARNING: These sources are constantly being hacked and attacked by certain agencies and entities. They receive death threats. The time is soon coming when these sources will no longer be available. At some point, the Internet will be censored or completely shut down. So get up to speed now. Your window of opportunity is short.

The Media Bad Guys

Below is a list of the corporate controlled, government propaganda, bought-and-paid-for, matrix of deception media shills.

• ABC (Already Been Chewed)
• NBC (Nothing But Crap)
• CBS (Can't Believe this Stuff) 
• CNN (CIA News Network)
• MSNBC (MSDNC)
• Fox News (The Best Conservatives Money Can Buy)
• The New York Times 
• Washington Post
• The Wall Street Journal (The War Street Journal)
• The Economist 
• Glenn Beck (Pretends to be alternative media, but is sold out)
• Every local network news show
• Every local mainstream newspaper, most of which are owned by corporate conglomerates

I'm sorry, but if you get your information from these sources, you cannot possibly understand what is happening in the world. The truth is being systematically kept from you.

Remember, the best lie is a partial truth. A story can be 95% true, but that last 5% is what pushes you down the wrong path. Or the news outlets give you 80% of the least important stories, while withholding the 20% that is absolutely essential. It all amounts to deception.

Below are five watchmen and harbingers of the end times who, in my opinion, genuinely walk with the Lord and have very important, astonishing messages to share. Though these men have separate & distinct callings and ministries, you will notice significant overlap and convergence in their messages. That's an indicator the same Spirit speaks to them all.

As always, take the messages to the Lord for confirmation.

Dumitru Dudumon - A Romanian preacher and Bible smuggle during the Communist era who was tortured in prison for his faith and later sent into exile. Though he spoke no English, God called Dumitru to America in 1984 to preach a message of repentance and judgment. He passed away in 1997.
